| vocx | Elijah, the shortcut soundray gave you does not open a new terminal it was an example. You can setup your own shortcuts too | 00:01 |
| ZLemur | k | 00:01 |
| colaser | I'm already using sudo; I'm running sudo apt-get install -f. So the "Permission denied" error seems strange. | 00:02 |

| schyffel | My problem with mythtv is that the package mythtv-backend tries to overwrite "/var/lib/mythtv/" which is also in the package mythvideo. | 00:02 |
| soundray | schyffel: in this case, you can safely force the installation of the backend package with 'sudo dpkg -i --force-overwrite /var/cache/apt/archives/mythtv-backend_0.21.0+fixes16838-0ubuntu3.1_i386.deb | 00:02 |

| Elijah | i want to remove a kernel so it removes it from the grub menu.lst | 00:05 |
| soundray | Elijah: once I've got a terminal open, I use Shift-Ctrl-N to open a new one | 00:06 |
| amenado | ShereKhan-> way cool! | 00:06 |
| ShereKhan | Elijah: update-grub | 00:06 |
| xbj9000 | elijah you could just edit it out of the menu.lst | 00:06 |
| happymonkey | vocx: somewhat humerous, key up and down are already programmed into the remote :) | 00:06 |
| vocx | Elijah, but you can also set up a gnome-terminal from the beginning as I told you. But apparently you prefer to waste time by clicking with your mouse. | 00:06 |
| xbj9000 | oops yeah update-grub | 00:06 |
| happymonkey | vocx: excuse me pg-up and down | 00:06 |
| neoser1 | elijah you only must edit menu.lst and erase the entry to these kernel..... or add if you need | 00:06 |
| soundray | Elijah: 'sudo apt-get --purge remove linux-image-2.6.24-16-generic' for example should remove the grub entry as well | 00:06 |
| Elijah | vocx, i would not like a terminal open all the time | 00:06 |

| happymonkey | vocx: I'm using a hp media remote - came with my laptop and using it with evince. | 00:07 |
| vocx | Elijah, don't be afraid, you will look more leet in front of your friends, and chicks | 00:07 |
| happymonkey | vocx: I was confused into thinking that page up and down required more than Prior and Next keys but that is all they need | 00:08 |
| soundray | IndyGunFreak: even that I would only recommend with entries outside the 'automagic list' | 00:08 |
| Elijah | vocx, i guess a true linux user uses terminal for everything so maybe i will set to run at startup, i will definitely keep that in my head | 00:08 |
| vocx | Elijah, if you really want to remove a kernel you remove it's package like linux-image-2.6.20 or whatever, but you may do as IndyGunFreak says too. | 00:08 |
| IndyGunFreak | soundray: eah, i just like a neat and tidy grub list..lol | 00:08 |

| * LivingInTwilight is just about pissed. | 00:08 | |
| IndyGunFreak | LivingInTwilight: well, don't go over the edge | 00:09 |
| Elijah | vocx, yes i do some sort of search for '~linux-image~i' but forgot what the beginning is | 00:09 |
| Elijah | aptitude | 00:09 |
| LivingInTwilight | IndyGunFreak, Ironic, coming from you. My AR-15 came in from the factory, and it's defective. | 00:09 |
| vocx | happymonkey, yeah, many linux apps are that way, they control things with just a key. | 00:09 |
| IndyGunFreak | LivingInTwilight: oh man that sucks.. what model? | 00:09 |
| Elijah | does anyone know how to search for installed packages like that | 00:09 |

| LivingInTwilight | IndyGunFreak, S&W M&P15. Great rifles, I've fired many. Mine has a leak in the gas tube. | 00:09 |

| ubottu | LivingInTwilight IndyGunFreak: #ubuntu is the Ubuntu support channel, #ubuntu+1 supports the development version of Ubuntu and #ubuntu-offtopic is for random chatter. Welcome! | 00:10 |
| LivingInTwilight | IndyGunFreak, When I fire it, it either short-strokes the BCG and fails to chamber the next round, or it catches it just enough to close the bolt on the side of the round, instead of loading it into battery. | 00:10 |
| happymonkey | vocx: no I am very familiar with mutt, irssi, and other command line tools but am not used to using GNOME so this is nice to see how simple it is | 00:10 |

| IndyGunFreak | LivingInTwilight: well what seems to be your linux problem | 00:11 |
| Elijah | thanks, shift page up is nice | 00:12 |
| LivingInTwilight | IndyGunFreak, Not a one, everything's working as designed. It's actually amazing that I hear myself saying that. | 00:12 |

| aditya1 | i have just completed installing xp , i installed xp after linux was already there in the same HDD | 00:14 |
| Elijah | but aptitude search '~linux-image~i' gives me unknown pattern, a user showed me earlier and i forgot, i had a bunch of problems to resolve before | 00:14 |
| Elijah | vocx, the user before showed me them and they worked great | 00:14 |
| Flannel | n00b101: Is this a new harddrive? or the one youre using currently? | 00:14 |
| colaser | Okay, this is weird. It looks like I just need to create the file myself, but when I run sudo echo "3000" > fan1_min I get "bash: fan1_min: Permission denied". How do I fix that? | 00:15 |
| nickrud | Elijah try ~ilinuximage | 00:15 |
| vocx | n00b101, it is not really hard, gparted is very easy | 00:15 |
| amenado | Elijah-> its apt-cache search linux-image | 00:15 |
| n00b101 | Flannel, the one I am using currently | 00:15 |
| fluffles | my remote desktop (VNC) on Ubuntu 8.04 only listens on IPv6 and not IPv4, how can i fix this? | 00:15 |
| Flannel | n00b101: You'll need a liveCD, but Gparted is pretty self explanatory | 00:15 |
| n00b101 | vocx, yes but I don't make the partition, I tried and failed, hence I am here :S | 00:15 |
| soundray | LivingInTwilight: well, perhaps compile one from source | 00:15 |
| vocx | Elijah, well you don't need them, just use a full word, like 'linux-image' or with spaces for multiple terms like 'linux kernel image 64' | 00:15 |
| n00b101 | Flannel, i got it | 00:15 |
| nickrud | Elijah typo, ~ilinux-image | 00:15 |
| ZLemur | aw mn | 00:15 |
| aditya1 | vocx: currently i am in ubuntu 7.10. i just completed installing xp , and while loading there was no option to select xp or linux , it directly booted xp | 00:15 |
| n00b101 | i have to do it from livecd | 00:15 |
| ZLemur | even fixmbr didn't fix it from the repair prompt | 00:16 |
| nickrud | vocx the ~i limits the search to installed packages | 00:16 |
| vocx | aditya1, that's because, as I told you. Win XP erased GRUB, you need to reisntall it again. | 00:16 |
| LivingInTwilight | soundray, finding all the source to start with would take forever. | 00:16 |
| aditya1 | vocx: then i booted ubuntu from its live cd and reinstalled grup loader | 00:16 |
| Flannel | Elijah: dpkg -l | grep linux-image | 00:16 |
| IndyGunFreak | n00b101: doesn't vista have a handy partition tool?.. i've saw many people here mention it | 00:16 |
| === pool is now known as Guest76663 | ||
| ZLemur | i didn't see what you'd said. how do i reinstall grub, then? | 00:16 |
| vocx | nickrud, is that documented, never read about it. I think aptitude uses regex, but I could be wrong- | 00:16 |
| aditya1 | but now i not getting the option of loading XP | 00:16 |
| soundray | aditya1: you should reinstall grub. Follow the RecoveringUbuntu... instructions: | 00:17 |
| ZLemur | because i can get into grub from the live cd and 'find /boot(...)' and root (hdx,x) and setup hd0 | 00:17 |
| soundray | !grub | aditya1 | 00:17 |
| ubottu | aditya1: grub is the default Ubuntu boot manager. Lost grub after installing windows: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/RecoveringUbuntuAfterInstallingWindows - Making GRUB floppies & other GRUB howtos: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/GrubHowto | 00:17 |
| GizmoTheG | no one using linux on ps3 at all? | 00:17 |
| aditya1 | vocx: do i need to install GRUB in the same partition ? | 00:17 |
| ZLemur | or is that not it? | 00:17 |
| Elijah | Flannel, thanks | 00:17 |
| nickrud | vocx it's in the docs, yes. There's all kinds of useful switches, try \!~i~sgnome | 00:17 |
| amenado | aditya1-> if you open that file /boot/grub/menu.lst read the verbage, it has a sample for windows entry, it is commented out.. | 00:17 |
| Elijah | so now i need to "purge" the kkernel name right | 00:17 |
| soundray | aditya1: you should install grub to your first hard disk drive | 00:18 |
| aditya1 | soundray: i did the same thing but do i need to install GRUB in the same partition as the one used in XP | 00:18 |
| soundray | aditya1: no | 00:18 |
| vipester | same hard drive, not partition | 00:18 |
| Elijah | apt-get purge linux-image-2.6.20-15-generic ??? | 00:18 |
| Flannel | Elijah: yeah, remove the old packages. But its usually a good idea to leave a current kernel, and then one older one that you know is good. | 00:18 |
| soundray | aditya1: you need to put grub in the master boot record of the first hard disk drive | 00:18 |
| vocx | nickrud, personally I prefer to see all the results of the search, that way I know what else there is | 00:18 |
| Flannel | Elijah: Are you on hardy? | 00:18 |
| Elijah | Flannel, yup that is what the earlier user advised too, this is the thrid oldest one | 00:19 |
| Elijah | Flannel, yes | 00:19 |
| Flannel | Elijah: apt-get remove --purge [package name list], or on hardy apt-get purge stuff, yeah | 00:19 |
| nickrud | vocx has many uses, try ~c . That lists the packages you've removed but left the config files. Just a useful tool, that's all | 00:19 |
| aditya1 | soundray: yes, i did it in the 1st partition which previously had (/) boot pratition | 00:20 |
| Elijah | what does the rc or ii mean before the kernel names | 00:20 |
| vocx | aditya1, maybe you need to run "update-grub" again, from within ubuntu to detect your windows XP partition. You maybe able to edit manually the /boot/grub/menu.lst also | 00:20 |
| nickrud | wow, apt-get has purge now | 00:20 |
| vocx | nickrud, I do like aptitude, it is great | 00:20 |
| aditya1 | amenado: what all things to remove comments ? | 00:20 |
| Flannel | Elijah: ii means installed, ad installed. rc means removed, with config files still installed (you haven't purged, or with synaptic "complete removal") | 00:20 |
| soundray | aditya1: no, you don't install it in a partition, you install it to the MBR | 00:20 |
| Flannel | nickrud: Its identical to remove --purge, yeah | 00:20 |
| Muzake | how do i install using safe graphics mode? | 00:20 |
| vocx | nickrud, apt-get has had purge since... well always | 00:20 |
| Flannel | vocx: since Hardy | 00:20 |
| nickrud | vocx I tend to use aptitude in interactive mode, and use l (L) instead of / for searching | 00:21 |
| nickrud | vocx --purge, yes but not purge as in aptitude | 00:21 |
| conformer | has anyone gotten SCIM to work with firefox yet? | 00:21 |
| vocx | nickrud, you mean without the -- | 00:21 |
| aditya1 | soundray: i dont know about that, but when installing it it asked where to install so i install in the master partition | 00:21 |
| nickrud | vocx yep | 00:21 |
| yrjokin | aditya1: if you can't sort it - installing xp first works every time (if that becomes your only option) | 00:21 |
| aditya1 | vocx: ok, i am updating grub | 00:21 |
| bazhang | conformer, get the quick locale switcher plugin for ff | 00:21 |
| * vocx thinks aptitude kicks apt-get's buttocks | 00:21 | |
| soundray | aditya1: there is no such thing as a master partition | 00:21 |
| amenado | aditya1-> what i said is a sample entry for windows is there on that menu.lst file, copy it or uncomment those lines if it matches your partition where window is installed | 00:21 |
| conformer | can i just find that on google? | 00:22 |
| micahcowan | conformer, I use SCIM/Anthy, didn't have any trouble whatever. Why? | 00:22 |
| bazhang | conformer, mozilla addons page | 00:22 |
| conformer | anthy used to work for me but it hasnt for a while | 00:22 |

| illy | apache2 -k start | 00:22 |
| conformer | i can only get it to work in nautilus | 00:23 |
| vocx | aditya1, there is a catch there, GRUB is made of "two" stages I think, the first one goes to the MBR, then stage 1.5 and stage 2 are the ones installed on /boot/grub, you need to figure this out | 00:23 |
| Ubu-Elijah | ok, i got an error while doing apt-get purge kernel http://paste.ubuntu.com/21983/ | 00:23 |
| micahcowan | conformer, note, gnome-terminal seems to have an issue with SCIM: if I open a new tab, and then close it, the original tab stops working until I open a new one again (or a window). | 00:23 |
| Flannel | illy: Use init.d instead (/etc/init.d/apache2 restart) | 00:23 |

| Nitricacid | what ftp client can change permissions, cuz the default ftp cant. | 00:24 |
| soundray | Ubu-Elijah: you're trying to remove soething that isn't installed | 00:24 |

| illy | also is there a better way to get a log file? im running a multi-thread cron to sends friend request on a social network site | 00:24 |

| illy | and then dies | 00:24 |
| illy | i have to reboot it | 00:24 |
| Flannel | Ubu-Elijah: Right, you can't purge something if its not installed. There are other methods... Uh, easiest way is to just go into Synaptic, and mark it for complete removal | 00:24 |
| vocx | aditya1, so when you update both, you need to specify in one instance the hd0 as install disk, and then /dev/sda1 for instance as the second directory, this is explained in the manuals and links | 00:24 |
| Nitricacid | what ftp client can change permissions, cuz the default ftp cant? | 00:25 |
| Nitricacid | file permissions * | 00:25 |
| sammy_ | Tat2Yak | 00:25 |
| amenado | Nitricacid-> not sure you'd want an ftp client be able to change permissions, can you imagine anonymous changing permissions? | 00:26 |
| micahcowan | Nitricacid, what, on the remote filesystem? ...that's not a standard FTP option, AFAIK | 00:26 |
| aditya1 | amenado: its showing this partition (hd0,0) but its in the 3rd partition. what do i change here ? | 00:26 |

| micahcowan | Nitricacid, are you sure winSCP isn't doing it over SFTP (very different from FTP)? | 00:28 |
| vocx | Elijah, there was a recent kernel update | 00:28 |
| sun01tech | aorthr33: thats different from gparted? | 00:28 |
| micahcowan | Nitricacid, standard ftp client has a "chmod" command. | 00:28 |

| amenado | aditya1-> which drive? hd0 == hda hd1==hdb | 00:28 |
| Nitricacid | micahcowan: im using winscp on my windows box right now, FTP protocol, editing permissions lol | 00:29 |
| vocx | Elijah, yes probably you can, but well, usually you would want to update anyway. | 00:29 |
| aditya1 | amenado: hd0==hda | 00:29 |
| Nitricacid | /join #compiz | 00:29 |
| Elijah | ok, i guess, it will take a while | 00:29 |
| aorthr33 | sun - no, i typo'd it... its gparted | 00:30 |
| conformer | the locale switcher doesnt seem to change my typing, does scim work for everyone else? | 00:30 |
| colaser | I was able to solve my problem; I had added a line to /etc/init.d/acpid that echoed 2500 to that file, as recommended by the wiki page on setting up Ubuntu for my computer (a Santa Rosa Macbook) and commenting it out made it work. Is there anywhere I should post this in case someone else runs into the same problem? | 00:30 |
| vocx | Elijah, you are in what dial-up? | 00:30 |
| Elijah | no sprint evdo | 00:30 |
| Elijah | its actually faster than usual right now | 00:30 |
| aditya1 | amenado: its installed in the 3rd partition | 00:31 |
| amenado | aditya1-> 3rd partition should then be hd0,2 | 00:31 |
| Elijah | 1 Mb + | 00:31 |
| Elijah | sometimes it is sub 500kbps | 00:31 |
| illy | guys how do i run 100 threads on this http://paste.ubuntu.com/21985/ | 00:31 |
| aditya1 | amenado: ok, let me reboot now | 00:31 |
| vocx | colaser, in the forums most probably, there are wikis tutorials, how-to's | 00:31 |
| colaser | Okay, thank you. | 00:31 |
| amenado | illy-> what app ? | 00:31 |
| illy | what u mean what app? | 00:32 |
| illy | its custom id scraper | 00:32 |

| ubottu | illy: As you can see, this is a large channel. If you're speaking to someone in particular, please put their nickname in what you say (use !tab), or else messages get lost and it becomes confusing :) | 00:32 |
| illy | oh sorry | 00:32 |
| vocx | illy, you mean run that code a hundred times? Use a for loop or something | 00:33 |
| QAH | Hello everyone! | 00:33 |
| illy | amenado i'm not sure if they run and just fail cause of proxy error or something .. but when i look using "ps -A | grep wget" there are only like 10 jobs at most | 00:33 |
| amenado | illy-> are you trying to run wget several times or let it spawn several threads? id do what vocx suggested | 00:34 |
| aditya2 | i am not getting an option to load XP, | 00:35 |
| illy | vocx <- im trying to run it mutli times because the script goes onto a social network and grabs id's of users. but seems when i try to run it 100 times so the id scraper is faster it only shows its running 10 | 00:35 |
| vocx | !grub | please see if this is helpful aditya2 | 00:36 |
| ubottu | please see if this is helpful aditya2: grub is the default Ubuntu boot manager. Lost grub after installing windows: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/RecoveringUbuntuAfterInstallingWindows - Making GRUB floppies & other GRUB howtos: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/GrubHowto | 00:36 |
| illy | vocx <- yeah a loop would probably make the code smaller, but don't think it would make it faster.. | 00:36 |
| vocx | illy, seems like you want to spam people in social networks, so I won't help you... just kidding. | 00:37 |
| illy | lol not really. we are grabing artist | 00:37 |
| illy | and creating a userbase | 00:38 |
| conformer | does scim not work in firefox for anyone else? i can only get it to work when im renaming file folders and stuff, but it doesnt do anything when i try to use it in anything else | 00:38 |

| vocx | ZLemur, too bad you cannot enjoy linux like me... ha ha ha | 00:39 |

| ZLemur | super funny. | 00:39 |

| codePhantom | Can anyone here help me with my ubuntu install? | 00:40 |
| vocx | codePhantom, ask a real question | 00:40 |
| aditya2 | vocx: do i also need to Overwrite the Windows bootloader ? | 00:41 |
| shaba1 | Hello folks I am a window net admin and new to ubuntu and linux in general. I am running xubuntu on this machine and have several question. #1 in windows the task bar below the main desktop screen is call "taskbar" in linux or Xwindows it is called a panel? Is that correct? | 00:41 |
| codePhantom | I was installing Ubuntu Hardy through NetBoot(thats the only possible way I could), when it gave an error about not being able to get all the extra software. The installation continued after this so i didn't bother. However, when it came to select and install software, it gives an error at 6%(after I had chosen what I wanted to be installed). How do I fix this problem? I already installed... | 00:41 |
| Elijah | how do i change the default os in menu.lst | 00:41 |
| codePhantom | ...GRUB and I'm wondering if I should just end the installation. | 00:41 |
| Bob_Sagot | I hate laptops, they are so proprietary. | 00:41 |
| codePhantom | And now it's stuck at 6%. | 00:41 |
| funkyHat | aditya2: you got grub installed again then? | 00:42 |
| Elijah | codePhantom, did you use a cheap cd? | 00:42 |
| Herissy | hmmm. | 00:42 |
| vipester | if i edit /etc/network/interfaces to configure wpa, my network manager no longer lists wireless networks | 00:42 |
| fmartin | /server irc.irc-hispano.org | 00:42 |
| codePhantom | I downloaded the netboot.tar.gz from the archive. | 00:42 |
| vocx | aditya2, well, in the MBR yes, not in the windows system folder. I feel like you are taking unnecessary pain to accomplish this. Are you sure the guides don't cover what you are attempting to do? | 00:42 |
| purplestar | codePhantom: only use progeams from the repos | 00:42 |
| ChrissyW | Hey everyone! I'm having a bit of an issue. After I installed new updates yesterday, my video player will no longer play MPEGs properly. It will play sound sometimes, but no video at all. When I try to skip forward through the show the whole system locks up and I end up having to reset. Any ideas what's wrong? | 00:43 |
| purplestar | ChrissyW: install VLC | 00:43 |
| aditya2 | funkyHat: i installed GRUB, now i am not getting option to boot XP | 00:43 |
| purplestar | ChrissyW: sudo apt-get install vlc | 00:43 |
| illy | guys why does apache start like 100 times.. what is all this.. seems it causes a crash in apache | 00:43 |
| illy | http://paste.ubuntu.com/21988/ | 00:43 |
| Wolfkin | I just finally got Ubuntu to install on this computer I have and my login i choose isn't working. Is there any recourse other than to reinstall Ubunto all over again? | 00:43 |
| purplestar | aditya2: use SuperGrub boot CD | 00:43 |
| ChrissyW | okay, thanks | 00:43 |
| ChrissyW | I'll try that. | 00:44 |
| codePhantom | This is a really noob question but... whats a repos? | 00:44 |
| purplestar | Wolfkin: you forgot your login username and passsword. | 00:44 |
| purplestar | ChrissyW: ok | 00:44 |
| vocx | ChrissyW, maybe your video driver broke, this is common when installing kernel upgrades. | 00:44 |
| funkyHat | aditya2: you should be able to add the option to your /boot/grub/menu.list (although I'm surprised it wasn't picked up) | 00:44 |
| aditya2 | vocx: its there in the guide itself , ie , to Overwrite the Windows bootloader, how do i change in MBR ? | 00:44 |
| Wolfkin | I'm not sure.. it was 10 seconds ago I know my login but it's not working.. i'm wondering if maybe i made a typo and didn't otice | 00:44 |
| purplestar | aditya2: user SuperGrub Boot CD | 00:44 |
| vocx | codePhantom, I haven't used the netinstall but if grub is installed it may just work. | 00:45 |
| funkyHat | aditya2: wow wow, you don't need to do any more changing of bootloaders, it's done, you just need to add a windows XP option to your boot list | 00:45 |
| aditya2 | purplestar: will it boot both OSes ? | 00:45 |
| codePhantom | Okay, i'll try it | 00:45 |
| shaba1 | Hello | 00:45 |
| purplestar | Wolfkin: its case sensitive and whatever you wrote you are not writing it exactly the same again | 00:45 |
| vocx | aditya2, I think it tells you to do something like "grub" and then "root (hd0)" and stuff, that should be enough | 00:45 |
| purplestar | aditya2: it does for me, but I thought u wanted to fix your MBR | 00:45 |
| Wolfkin | i don't use cases.. my caps lock key has been off the entire time. an other ideas | 00:46 |
| shaba1 | what is teh linux eqivalent of ctrl-alt-delete to stop a stuck program | 00:46 |
| ariel_ | if you start in windows xp first then put the cd in there is a great option to do dual boot | 00:46 |
| SeaPhor | codePhantom, try looking System>Admin>Synaptics Package manager | 00:46 |
| ariel_ | works great | 00:46 |
| illy | why does this happen guys? sorry for the double post | 00:46 |
| illy | http://paste.ubuntu.com/21988/ | 00:46 |
| nibbo | I need a program that tracks my work-hours on different projects... Is there such a thing? | 00:46 |
| Elijah | how do i change the default os to boot in grubs menu.lst i cant figure it out | 00:46 |
| purplestar | Wolfkin: I told you. whatever you wrote you are not writing it exactly the same again | 00:46 |
| Elijah | is it just the first one listed? | 00:46 |
| aditya2 | vocx: i changed those stuff, but still there is no option to load Xp, i rebooted after changing | 00:46 |
| purplestar | Wolfkin: try again, install Ubuntu, this time remember exactly what you write as username and password | 00:46 |
| vocx | shaba1, programs do not get stuck, you can use the system monitor to kill running processes, or from the terminal "pkill <something>" | 00:46 |
| Wolfkin | ok so i have no other recourse but to just reinstall again.. oh well. thanks guess I'll get started | 00:47 |
| DistroJockey | Elijah, change the line that says Default 0 (0 being the first, 1 the second, etc.) | 00:47 |
| dw805 | guys, Chrissyw is my daughter, just trying out linux for the first time after hearing me crow about linux for years (we wiped vista off her computer), so linux' reputation is on the line here :) I had her put ubuntu on because I had heard such good things about it, but as I run centos, I'm not so good at helping her with ubuntu, and she is now 3000+ miles away from me... | 00:47 |
| Hasone_ | my totem can't play mp3s anymore. help! | 00:47 |
| illy | for now i've redirected the log file to one file.. don't know if that slows down things tho, as 100 instances tries to write to it | 00:47 |
| purplestar | Hasone_: use VLC, not totem | 00:47 |
| illy | -o /home/wgetlogs/testlog2 | 00:47 |
| Hasone_ | i'll try vlc | 00:47 |
| dw805 | hopefully vlc will work better for her, provided she doesn't have an underlying driver problem? | 00:47 |
| vocx | shaba1, there are various ways to kill something, "kill <number>", "pkill <name>", "xkill" use the mouse to kill a window | 00:47 |
| illy | instead of "wget-log" ending up in /, it's redirected to /home/wgetlogs/testlog2 for every instance that's running | 00:48 |
| funkyHat | aditya2: can you pastebin your menu.lst please? and also pastebin the output of df | 00:48 |
| purplestar | Hasone_: sudo apt-get install vlc | 00:48 |
| ChrissyW | purplestar: the sudo apt-get install vlc worked | 00:48 |
| Hasone_ | vlc doesn't work, either. | 00:48 |
| ChrissyW | i get sound and picture now | 00:48 |
| purplestar | ChrissyW: cool :) | 00:48 |
| aditya2 | funkyHat: sure | 00:48 |
| ChrissyW | I can't forward through videos still though. it was like that before the update though. any idea why? | 00:48 |
| shaba1 | xkill? | 00:48 |
| shaba1 | with the muse | 00:48 |
| ir8 | Hello I have question what is a good Raid controller for raid 0 two drives | 00:49 |
| ChrissyW | if I try to it either goes back to the beginning or jumps straight to the end | 00:49 |
| ir8 | that is supported | 00:49 |
| aditya2 | funkyHat: how to get the output of df ? | 00:49 |
| SeaPhor | ChrissyW, VLC rocks | 00:49 |
| Hasone_ | purplestar: both totem and vlc don't work. | 00:49 |
| purplestar | ChrissyW: no idea, happens to me at times too | 00:49 |
| funkyHat | aditya2: just type df at a command prompt | 00:49 |
| shaba1 | right now I have a firefox window(?) up that was suppose to add adobe flash player and its stuck | 00:49 |
| evilbug | ChrissyW- use a different media player. | 00:49 |
| ir8 | The LSI megaRAID drivers are the raid cards are not supported | 00:49 |
| purplestar | Hasone_: what doesnt work? | 00:49 |
| shaba1 | I need to know how to stop that | 00:49 |
| Elijah | DistroJockey, so th line being actual line, i counted about 30 lines until i got to my desired os | 00:49 |
| funkyHat | aditya2: I just want that so I can work out the correct info for your Windows entry in menu.lst | 00:49 |
| vocx | dw805, man the net is a horrible place, so beware of what your daughter gets involved with | 00:50 |
| illy | guys whats the best way not to log???? | 00:50 |
| ir8 | shaba1: 64bit or 32bit? | 00:50 |
| Elijah | how do i display line numbers in gedit | 00:50 |
| purplestar | ChrissyW: does it happen in mplayer too? | 00:50 |
| Hasone_ | purplestar: neither totem or vlc can play mp3s. the slider bar moves along, but no sound comes out. | 00:50 |
| Hasone_ | chatzilla works just fine at beeping at me, though >< | 00:50 |
| illy | we don't want any output from wget? | 00:50 |
| DistroJockey | Elijah, the title lines only | 00:50 |
| illy | any help pls? | 00:50 |
| purplestar | Hasone_: you have to edit the prefeences in VLC then. that happened to me once | 00:50 |
| ChrissyW | purplestar: okay, glad to know it's not just me. =D out of curiosity, now that I've already done it, what is vlc? it happens in the totem movie player. that's the only one I have | 00:50 |
| ir8 | shaba1: open a terminal killall -9 firefox-bin or firefox | 00:50 |
| vocx | shaba1, open a terminal the do "xkill" and click on firefox | 00:50 |
| purplestar | !vlc | ChrissyW | 00:50 |
| ubottu | ChrissyW: Audio (Ogg, MP3...) players: Audacious, Banshee, Beep Media Player, Listen, Quod Libet, Rhythmbox, Exaile, XMMS (GTK/Gnome based) and Amarok, JuK (Qt/KDE based). Video players: Totem, Xine, MPlayer, VLC, Kaffeine - See also !codecs | 00:50 |
| Elijah | DistroJockey, thanks | 00:50 |
| funkyHat | shaba1: the best way to install the flash player is through synaptic or apt, just install the package flashplugin-nonfree | 00:50 |
| DistroJockey | Elijah, no problem | 00:51 |
| Hasone_ | purplestar: will I have to edit the preferences in totem, too? could I maybe fix that? | 00:51 |
| ir8 | anyone good with hardware support? | 00:51 |
| illy | trying to figure out the best way not to log when running 100 threads | 00:51 |
| ChrissyW | vocx: I'm old enough to be pretty net savvy, and he's taught me pretty well to keep away from the weirdos =P | 00:51 |
| vocx | ir8, don't use kill -9, just use kill, because -9 doesn't give a chance to clean up | 00:51 |
| Elijah | DistroJockey, i chose the saved option because it already had saved default in it | 00:51 |
| shaba1 | 64 or 32 bit what ir8?? the processor the version of xubuntu the version of firefox? what | 00:51 |
| Elijah | so i am guessing that will work | 00:51 |
| Elijah | nope | 00:51 |
| Elijah | hmm | 00:51 |
| purplestar | Hasone_: play around with the settings, but I do recall changing something in the VIDEO setting in VLC which fixed that problem | 00:51 |
| illy | vocx : any idea how not to log when using 100 threads for wget? | 00:51 |
| aditya2 | funkyHat: what about this cmd ??? sudo fdisk -l ??? should i paste this also as i cant see the FAT partition in df ? | 00:51 |
| vocx | ChrissyW, I demand proof of that old enough, > 18 | 00:51 |
| ir8 | vocx: its a hard kill. | 00:51 |
| Elijah | maybe i didn't save it | 00:51 |
| purplestar | Hasone_: Try playing with the settings under Settings -> Preferences -> Audio -> Output Modules -> OSS and ALSA. It worked for me. | 00:52 |
| funkyHat | aditya2: ah turns out that sudo fdisk -l is more useful than df yes :) | 00:52 |
| aditya2 | its 5:20am here i have been trying to do this for last 5 hrs | 00:52 |
| vocx | ir8, you don't needa hard kill, just a kill, sigterm | 00:52 |
| ChrissyW | vocx: possibly you're one of the people he warned me about? | 00:52 |
| aditya2 | funkyHat: ok | 00:52 |
| vocx | CroX, laughing my buttocks off | 00:53 |
| ChrissyW | so should I be getting MPlayer then possibly instead of totem? | 00:53 |
| dw805 | vocx: are you trying to insinuate that sickos hang out in #ubuntu?????? | 00:53 |
| Hasone_ | i'm getting nothing. are there any sound experts here? I also notice I'm not getting any sound during avis and other movies | 00:53 |

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 | 00:58 |

| dlozarie | hi all. yesterday a fellow in the channel helped me figure out that I have all of 2GB left of disk space for Ubuntu to use. How does one go about increasing that size? | 00:58 |

| tstiffler88 | hello, when my ubuntu 8.04 desktop boots, I get an error where I have to hit ctrl-D to proceed to the login screen, can anyw=one assist? | 00:59 |

| Herissy | is there a restricted set of shared libraries that I need to play dvd's? | 00:59 |
| purplestar | Hasone_: so you dont get any sound? | 00:59 |
| illy | vocx <-- using the --background, or -b, option shit gets logged | 00:59 |
| Hasone_ | purplestar: chatzilla is making sounds. | 00:59 |
| purplestar | Hasone_: so what doesnt make sounds? | 00:59 |
| Hasone_ | purplestar: I'm going to check a game I play. right now, vlc, totem, etc. don't make sounds. | 00:59 |
| purplestar | Hasone_: does xmms play sound? | 00:59 |
| anteaya | Herissy, I believe that it is called medibuntu | 01:00 |
| spideyman | brianherman, amorok is for kde | 01:00 |
| vocx | illy, I was reading that, maybe you can do --output-file=/dev/null | 01:00 |
| Hasone_ | purplestar: don't have it. I could get it. | 01:00 |
| purplestar | Hasone_: onboard sound? does xmms play sound? | 01:00 |
| purplestar | Hasone_: install xmms and tell me if that plays sound | 01:00 |
| Herissy | whats the info websites for it? | 01:00 |
| anteaya | Herissy, am looking but am on dial up | 01:01 |

| Herissy | omfg I thought I was the only one on dial-up | 01:01 |
| spideyman | brianherman, then use kubuntu | 01:01 |
| purplestar | Hasone_: you using Hardy 8.04? | 01:01 |
| brianherman | spiderman: it worked before | 01:01 |
| illy | Herissy wtf u doing on dialup | 01:01 |
| anteaya | Herissy, i guess there are two of us then | 01:01 |
| purplestar | Herissy: whats dial up? | 01:01 |
| Hasone_ | purplestar: yep. | 01:01 |
| illy | damn | 01:01 |
| purplestar | :) | 01:01 |
| dlozarie | hi all. yesterday a fellow in the channel helped me figure out that I have all of 2GB left of disk space for Ubuntu to use. How does one go about increasing that size? | 01:02 |
| Herissy | lol | 01:02 |
| illy | purplestar lol | 01:02 |
| brianherman | spideman: vlc doesn't work also | 01:02 |
| spideyman | brianherman, i dont knoew i only use kde | 01:02 |
| purplestar | Hasone_: do the Ubuntu SOUNDS work? system/preferneces/SOUNDS | 01:02 |
| Herissy | dial up is what us old folks used to use back in the 80's to connect to the "internet" | 01:02 |
| purplestar | illy: :-) | 01:02 |
| funkyHat | adityag: your menu.lst should look like this http://pgsql.privatepaste.com/631VVnJyBb | 01:02 |
| Herissy | ... which I created. | 01:02 |
| brianherman | gnome sounds work but kde sounds doesnt | 01:02 |
| vocx | adityag, that seems correct | 01:02 |
| spideyman | herissy i remember 28.8 dial up | 01:03 |
| funkyHat | adityag: actually... sorry, let me edit it a bit more | 01:03 |
| Flannel | adityag: Did you upgrade Windows 9X to XP? | 01:03 |
| tstiffler88 | can anyone help me with a boot error I keep getting? It forces me to hit ctrl-D to continue to the login screen | 01:03 |
| purplestar | Herissy: I heard about dialup in the 1980's, havent heard about it since for 25 years now until today ;) | 01:03 |
| Hasone_ | branherman, maybe we're having the same problem | 01:03 |
| Herissy | lol | 01:03 |
| Hasone_ | brianherman: maybe we're having the same problem | 01:03 |
| anteaya | Herissy, try here http://www.medibuntu.org/packages.php | 01:03 |
| anteaya | Herissy, and see how you do | 01:03 |
| adityag | Flannel: no | 01:03 |
| SeaPhor | dlozarie, boot from live cd and sudo apt-get install gparted run gparted and resize partitions | 01:03 |
| adityag | funkyHat: so its after that block ? only thats the change right ? | 01:04 |
| purplestar | Herissy: I get around 1.5 to 1.8 MB per second :) And you get 5KB/s ;) | 01:04 |
| ir8 | this is odd not one person in here know what hardware is supported and what is not supported. | 01:04 |
| Flannel | adityag: You only have a FAT32 partition, which could be XP (XP can be both FAT or NTFS), and that's your windows entry in GRUB | 01:04 |
| funkyHat | adityag: http://pgsql.privatepaste.com/90WlITXkRC this should be better | 01:04 |
| purplestar | Herissy: how does that make you feel? :) | 01:04 |
| Herissy | 5KB? | 01:04 |
| Herissy | haha not n you life. half that max | 01:04 |
| ir8 | 1.5MB - 1.8 is about 10 - 18mbps | 01:04 |
| purplestar | ir8: why is that odd? not even the founder of Ubuntu would know that :) | 01:04 |
| ir8 | purplestar: well.. lol. | 01:04 |
| purplestar | ir8: :-) | 01:04 |
| funkyHat | adityag: I moved it after the block and changed it slightly, and the second change is I changed the timeout to 10 seconds rather than 3, and stopped the menu from being hidden | 01:04 |
| ir8 | A base answer would be great. | 01:05 |
| vocx | adityag, in my menu.lst I have this line "savedefault" after the "root (hd0,2)" and before "makeactive" | 01:05 |
| SeaPhor | dlozarie, type /join #SeaPhor and i can help more if you need | 01:05 |
| adityag | so should i copy all whats there in the last link right ?? in menu.lst ? | 01:05 |
| brianherman | hasone_: really! | 01:05 |
| Herissy | on top of being Dial Up its also MSN dial-up. | 01:05 |
| purplestar | ir8: you would need to ask a ubuntu developer to answer that, and even he may struggle to know :) | 01:05 |
| ir8 | purplestar: What LSI sas controllers are supported. | 01:05 |
| anteaya | Herissy, so does that work for you? | 01:05 |
| Hasone_ | brianherman: I'm having a problem getting totem and vlc to play files. so who knows? | 01:05 |
| vocx | adityag, what you hadn't used it before? | 01:05 |
| purplestar | ir8: i have no idea lol | 01:05 |
| ir8 | purplestar: Augh ;) | 01:05 |
| brianherman | hasone_: do you have any ideas | 01:05 |
| ir8 | lol | 01:05 |
| funkyHat | adityag: you shouldn't put your own stuff inside the debian automagic list, it might go missing (not certain that it will, but it doesn't belong there anyway) | 01:05 |
| purplestar | Hasone_: did xmms work? | 01:05 |
| MyLastBreath | i just downloaded Ubunu 8.04 i386 onto my mac, which has the internet connection, im where is the iso file located? im trying to prepare to burn it to disc according to https://help.ubuntu.com/community/BurningIsoHowto | 01:06 |
| ir8 | i see the MegaRaid driver | 01:06 |
| shaba1 | ok that suggestion by irv messed me up | 01:06 |
| Hasone_ | purplestar: I thought I installed xmms, but can't find it anywhere either via gui or terminal | 01:06 |
| purplestar | Hasone_: vlc doesnt even play the video? | 01:06 |
| anteaya | Herissy, this may work better https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Medibuntu | 01:06 |
| Hasone_ | purplestar: vlc plays the video | 01:06 |
| shaba1 | Now I have not top and bottom task bars | 01:06 |
| purplestar | Hasone_: type this. sudo apt-get install xmms | 01:06 |
| shaba1 | how do I get those back? | 01:06 |
| purplestar | Hasone_: then type xmms | 01:06 |
| funkyHat | adityag: probably safer to copy and paste straight from my pastebin rather than attempt to duplicate it :) | 01:06 |
| Yooshi | vocx: according to factoid, there should be a start up programs tab... there isn't one | 01:07 |
| Herissy | lol its still loading. | 01:07 |
| purplestar | Hasone_: play around with the sound settings in VLC | 01:07 |
| Hasone_ | xmms: command not found | 01:07 |
| illy | vocx:<------- that seemed to work better.. thanks! | 01:07 |
| Herissy | its going to take a long time. | 01:07 |
| maulik | where might i find help with kinodv ? | 01:07 |
| vipester | Can someone help with a wpa config problem? http://ubuntuforums.org/showpost.php?p=5234844&postcount=1461 | 01:07 |
| adityag | funkyHat: ok, | 01:07 |
| vocx | adityag, also, I noticed something. At the top of the file there is this "hiddenmenu", make it a comment like #hiddenmenu also try increasing the "timeout" to 6 if you want | 01:07 |
| jdwilm | What option do i need with xinit to create a second x server using a config other than the default (/etc/X11/xorg.conf)? | 01:07 |
| purplestar | Hasone_: xmp-common | 01:07 |
| maulik | specifically, i've built/installed kinodv 1.3 but while i'm editing i can't get it to play audio (audio works fine otherwise) | 01:07 |
| vocx | illy, you owe me some money then... okay I'm waiting now... still waiting | 01:08 |
| Xeon06 | Hey all. Does anyone know where I can find drivers for Logitech wireless keyboards and mices? More specifically, a logitech S510. I've looked around and everybody's seem to work fine except for the remote. The actual keyboard and mice wont work for me. It doesnt even let me get to the login screen, shoots me some error about Logitech USB something. | 01:08 |
| purplestar | Hasone_: xmms2 | 01:08 |
| funkyHat | vocx: I've pastebinned a modified menu.lst that adityag should be able to use already :) | 01:08 |
| purplestar | Hasone_: then type xmms2 | 01:08 |
| SeaPhor | vipester, more info please, card chipset, etc. | 01:08 |
| purplestar | Hasone_: type this. sudo apt-get install xmms2 | 01:08 |
| Hasone_ | purplestar: installing xmpcommon | 01:08 |
| vocx | funkyHat, okay, didn't know why so much trouble | 01:08 |
| purplestar | Hasone_: type this instead, sudo apt-get install xmms2 | 01:09 |
| vocx | Hasone_, purplestar don't use xmms, use audacious instead. | 01:09 |
| vipester | SeaPhor, bcm43xx. can detect all networks, only connect to unsecured/wep. ubuntu 8.04 | 01:09 |
| shaba1 | vocx | 01:09 |
| adityag | so do i change ## to # in hiddenmenu ? | 01:09 |
| Hasone_ | jason@jason-laptop:~/Música$ xmms2 play Episode\ 3\ -\ Ness\ The\ Exterminator.mp3 | 01:09 |
| Hasone_ | Log output will be stored in /home/jason/.cache/xmms2/xmms2d.log | 01:09 |
| Hasone_ | xmms2 started | 01:09 |
| Hasone_ | ERROR: Couldn't start playback: Could not start playback | 01:09 |
| funkyHat | vocx: I just corrected the one he'd already pastebinned and re-posted - not so much trouble :) | 01:09 |
| purplestar | vocx: ok tell Hasone_ :) | 01:09 |
| shaba1 | that suggestion lost the top and bottom 'taskbars' on my desktop | 01:09 |
| shaba1 | how do I get them back | 01:09 |
| purplestar | Hasone_: you have serious issues dude | 01:09 |
| funkyHat | adityag: the last link I gave you already has the hiddenmenu line commented out | 01:10 |
| purplestar | Hasone_: try another distro | 01:10 |
| vocx | shaba1, you probably killed the panels too. But no worry. | 01:10 |
| Hasone_ | purplestar: is there no one who can fix them for me? | 01:10 |
| Hasone_ | purplestar: you're kidding. | 01:10 |
| purplestar | Hasone_: doesnt seem so | 01:10 |
| adityag | but it has 2 # .....where as he said only 1 # | 01:10 |
| ArticWolf | I have a problem I have a computer that runs on ubuntu 7.04 but when i try to install Ubuntu 8.04 it stops at a Busybox 1.1.3 window ... the computer is a dell poweredge 2400 with 733mhz CPU 1gig ram | 01:10 |
| shaba1 | no worry?? | 01:10 |
| Hasone_ | purplestar: I got the sound briefly working yesterday. | 01:10 |
| purplestar | Hasone_: im not kidding. sometimes another distro works better for your personal PC config | 01:10 |
| shaba1 | how do I get them back? | 01:10 |
| vocx | shaba1, type "gnome-panel" in the terminal | 01:10 |
| adityag | funkyHat: ^ | 01:10 |
| Hasone_ | purplestar: and it's been working for months. | 01:10 |
| purplestar | Hasone_: then reinstall Ubuntu | 01:10 |
| Hasone_ | purplestar: well, beepity beep beep beep. | 01:11 |
| Signil | I can't burn any cd's on hardy .. I get "a write error occured which was likely due to overburning the disc" | 01:11 |
| funkyHat | adityag: generally # means a comment so the line is ignored, menu.lst doesn't always keep that rule but it does for that line :) so one # or two doesn't matter | 01:11 |
| Hasone_ | is there no one who can find out what's changed between it not working and it working? | 01:11 |
| SeaPhor | vipester, look here: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/WifiDocs/Driver/bcm43xx/Hardy | 01:11 |
| purplestar | Hasone_: i have had to do it too, sometimes a reinstall is needed. then when everything works, backup it up using Acronis Trueimage | 01:11 |
| shaba1 | gnome-panel is currently NOT installed | 01:11 |
| anteaya | Hasone_, did you know there is a sound channel? #alsa | 01:11 |
| Hasone_ | anteaya: thanks. I'll check it out. | 01:11 |
| Herissy | if only I can make this computer use my dial-up connection over the network. | 01:11 |
| purplestar | Hasone_: a kernel update maybe screwed it | 01:11 |
| Signil | I can't burn any cd's on hardy .. I get "a write error occured which was likely due to overburning the disc" ?? | 01:11 |
| vocx | shaba1, right, you have no terminal, type Alt-F2 then "gnome-panel" install from there. | 01:11 |
| adityag | funkyHat: ok......thank you all...vocx: brb after rebooting | 01:11 |
| Hasone_ | purplestar: that's likely. I've had quite a few kernel updates, lately. | 01:12 |

| ASULutzy | !ask | Tweakerz | 01:16 |
| ubottu | Tweakerz: 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. :-) | 01:16 |
| purplestar | Hasone_: you rebooted yet? | 01:16 |
| Tweakerz | i did not ask to ask a question | 01:16 |
| Tweakerz | I asked a question | 01:16 |

| Tweakerz | pro as in problems | 01:17 |
| jrib | Tweakerz: just assume "yes" is the answer to that question and ask your next question | 01:17 |
| Tweakerz | as in the program it self | 01:17 |
| Tweakerz | ok | 01:17 |
| vocx | purplestar, my comments are funny, but cannot use private messages | 01:17 |
| Tweakerz | my wifi/nic card stopped working when i uninstalled virtualbox | 01:17 |

| Tweakerz | its for the link encap local loop back | 01:18 |
| alienseer23 | perhaps you can help me with a problem; I am running heron on a box that requires the bcm43xx firmware for the wireless. "Hardware driver" has the driver as "in use", but not enabled. I click the enable box, restart, and it is in the same state, in use, but not enabled..help? | 01:18 |
| aditya1 | vocx: funkyHat: should i add savedefault after root ??? is it savedefault | 01:18 |
| funkyHat | aditya1: oh.. that's not so good... I can't really think of any reason that would be related to Ubuntu or GRUB though | 01:18 |
| ASULutzy | Tweakerz: How did you remove virtualbox? | 01:18 |
| bazhang | purplestar, you can take chat to #ubuntu-offtopic | 01:18 |
| JuJuBee | I have laptop with ATI mobility 9700. I use the drivers from ATI so I can have multiple displays (2). Does Hardy have better support for AIT than Previous versions? SHould I disable the proprietary drivers yet> | 01:18 |

| nickrud | shaba1 +1 | 01:19 |
| shaba1 | I just lost all the apps I was downloading by following your suggeston | 01:19 |
| brianherman | altair 8000! | 01:19 |
| funkyHat | aditya1: if you want GRUB to remember which OS you booted last, and boot that again (unless you choose a different one), then add savedefault | 01:19 |
| brianherman | wow | 01:19 |
| Tweakerz | ASULutzy, both wifi card and wired card are not showing | 01:19 |

| ASULutzy | Tweakerz: Did you do anything virtualbox wise other than just installing it? (ie did you set up host networking/create a bridge/etc) | 01:20 |
| purplestar | use OSL2000 as boot manager | 01:20 |
| aditya1 | anyways it was quite easy, thank you all once again !!!!!! | 01:20 |
| Tweakerz | ASULutzy, no i started set up the a pc but did not get that far | 01:20 |
| purplestar | anyone know of a GUI program for Hardy that converts FLV to 3gp? | 01:20 |
| shaba1 | thrust me I have been giving advise to windows users for YEAR. They always think that you can see thru thier eyes | 01:20 |
| ASULutzy | Tweakerz: Weird... And what happens if you just try like... sudo ifconfig eth0 up | 01:20 |
| bitznbytes | can ms word work with wine on ubuntu | 01:21 |
| shaba1 | nickrud: HOW do I do that | 01:21 |
| Xeon06 | why would you want that bitznbytes | 01:21 |
| Hilikus | is the opensource nv driver not supporting tv out yet?? i upgraded to hardy and my tv out stopped working | 01:21 |
| Xeon06 | there are other alternatives to ms word | 01:21 |
| nickrud | shaba1 simply re run the command | 01:21 |
| vocx | shaba1, I actually told you not to reboot, but you left the channel exactly then. | 01:21 |
| Tweakerz | ASULutzy, says eth0 Error while getting interface flags no such device | 01:21 |
| JuJuBee | purplestar are those video files? | 01:21 |
| shaba1 | and vox I did not mean to insult you. Its a habit with IT people. | 01:21 |

| ArticWolf | I have a problem I have a computer that runs on ubuntu 7.04 but when i try to install Ubuntu 8.04 it stops at a Busybox 1.1.3 window ... the computer is a dell poweredge 2400 with 733mhz CPU ... 1gig ram | 01:21 |

| nickrud | shaba1 I lived at the bottom of a 3k pipe for a long time, took advantage of that a lot. vocx same thing, same backend | 01:22 |
| purplestar | JuJuBee: yes | 01:22 |
| brianherman | hey my alsa works its with my kde | 01:22 |
| Tweakerz | ASULutzy, think maybe it uninstall my network drivers when it removed the program? | 01:22 |
| Hilikus | kitche you mean teh proprietary driver?? | 01:22 |
| jdwilm | bitznbytes: http://appdb.winehq.org/objectManager.php?sClass=version&iId=4992 will tell you all about what works and doesn't work with my word in wine. However, I'd recommend just using openoffice. | 01:22 |
| JuJuBee | I used that to convert vieos from my phone to avi | 01:22 |
| kitche | Hilikus: yes that is the binary driver | 01:22 |
| JuJuBee | It has many formats to select from | 01:22 |
| purplestar | JuJuBee: no good to me | 01:22 |
| shaba1 | How about you had done it this way. "Shaba2: wait until the programs are downloaded THEN press ctrl+backspace that will reboot your system" | 01:23 |
| shaba1 | see | 01:23 |
| purplestar | JuJuBee: I want to convert flv to 3gp using a GUI | 01:23 |
| ASULutzy | Tweakerz: Weird, I don't know. I'd file a bug report over that one. Sorry I can't be more helpful. Maybe post on the ubuntu forums as well as the virtualbox forums. I'm not exactly a networking pro | 01:23 |
| shaba1 | that gives the proper order when I did no know what that would do. | 01:23 |
| vocx | nickrud, I meant he selected the programs in a graphical way, so it's not as easy as sudo aptitude install and then list of the packages, just that. | 01:23 |

| nickrud | ouch | 01:24 |
| shaba1 | No problem vocx | 01:24 |
| kitche | Hilikus: I believe it's because nvidia didn't want nv to have the specs for tv out since they are the ones that help write the nv driver | 01:25 |

| siavash | oops | 02:04 |
| ace_suares | localgod11: you might try noacpi as an option to the boot kernel | 02:05 |
| Jack_Sparrow | orphean yes or sudo -s to hold it for a session as it is.. it holds for 15 minutes | 02:05 |

| Wispring | hello every one. I am a newbie to ubununtu. I am trying to teach myself how to use PHP. I have installed Abyss Web Server and am trying to configure it. So far no succes. I believe I need to give the webserver executable read,write, and perhaps execution permission to complete this step using the chmod command. Does this seem to be about right? Am I on the right track? | 02:05 |
| Jack_Sparrow | SeaPhor video / res detection | 02:05 |
| ace_suares | Wispring: you had yoru answr already. | 02:05 |
| bob_ | Atfer Iv did this is there any thing else to do | 02:06 |
| siavash | ok i managed to strip myself of all administrative rights, but now I added myself to the sudoers list. But i need to know how to restore my other administrative previlages. and users-admin doees not work. can anyone help otu? | 02:06 |
| ace_suares | I'll give it again | 02:06 |
| ace_suares | !lamp | Wispring | 02:06 |
| ubottu | Wispring: 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+) | 02:06 |
| localgod11 | right now i get vcc_getsockopt+0x150/0x170 | 02:06 |
| ace_suares | siavash: how did you strip yourself of admin rights ? | 02:06 |
| siavash | i dunno, i think i used the wrong command to add myself to a group | 02:07 |
| JFlash | what would be a good directory to install eclipse under? | 02:07 |
| shaba1 | how do I tell what video driver ubuntu is using | 02:07 |
| siavash | i'm not in the administrators group anymore | 02:07 |
| shaba1 | I had a heck of a time getting a 1024 X 768 desktop display | 02:07 |
| ace_suares | siavash: try 'grep admin /etc/group' | 02:07 |
| siavash | but i added myself explicitly to the list of sudoers | 02:07 |
| shaba1 | and still do not know how I got it :D | 02:07 |
| ace_suares | siavash: does your username come up ? | 02:07 |
| cycom | JFlash: uhhh, whereever apt-get install eclipse puts it? | 02:07 |
| joetheodd | I've put the following line in root's crontab, but apparently it's not running. Any suggestions? 0 2 * * * apt-get dist-upgrade -y | 02:07 |
| === Cynical is now known as Herissy | ||
| Jack_Sparrow | shaba1 if you got 1024x768 I will make a guess that you are running vesa | 02:08 |
| siavash | no my username doesn't come up | 02:08 |
| Bill | er | 02:08 |
| JFlash | noo | 02:08 |
| ace_suares | joetheodd: it's * * * * * not * * * | 02:08 |
| vipester | Since my network/interfaces didnt refer to wlan0, default dhcp was used correctly. But I am going to edit that file to get WPA to work. NM stops working when you do this, and the release page says I have to manually reenable it... how? | 02:08 |
| JFlash | i dont want to install from the reps | 02:08 |
| JFlash | i have a tar.gz already | 02:08 |
| vipester | I meant etc/network/interfaces file above | 02:08 |
| ace_suares | siavash: are you still root or able to be root in terminal window ? | 02:08 |
| joetheodd | ace_suares, it's 0 2 * * * to execute at 2AM | 02:08 |
| siavash | i can use sudo | 02:08 |
| shaba1 | Most likely Jack_Sparrow | 02:08 |
| JFlash | what about this one /usr/lib32/eclipse/ | 02:08 |
| Tweakerz | how can i manually load iwl3945 module? | 02:09 |
| siavash | i think sudo -i should work | 02:09 |
| JFlash | how does that sound? | 02:09 |
| ace_suares | joetheodd: soory the line broke i only saw * * * :-) | 02:09 |
| shaba1 | But when xubuntu intially boots u with teh startup splash screen | 02:09 |
| nickrud | JFlash what I did was create a dir ~/local , then extracted eclipse there , then sudo ln -s ~/local/eclipse/eclipse /usr/local/bin | 02:09 |
| Herissy | alright I bridged my connections successfully. | 02:09 |
| joetheodd | ace_suares, worlds largest resolution ftw :) | 02:09 |
| ace_suares | joetheodd: in any case i would not mess with the root crontab but go to /etc/cron.d | 02:09 |
| siavash | yea i can be root in the terminal | 02:09 |
| shaba1 | its definately a <800 X 600 screen | 02:09 |
| Herissy | dial-up over the wireless network. | 02:09 |
| nickrud | JFlash that way if I do a reinstall, I don't have to reinstall eclipse | 02:09 |
| shaba1 | it adjust by the time I get to the log in screen | 02:09 |
| localgod11 | who is phillip lougher | 02:09 |
| ace_suares | joetheodd: and then add a file called upgrade (or any other name) | 02:10 |
| Herissy | now next thing, I still need access to my VNC server and router which I have to neither. | 02:10 |
| joetheodd | ace_suares, same format as a crontab, or a sh? | 02:10 |
| ace_suares | joetheodd: and put '2 0 * * * root command' | 02:10 |
| shaba1 | I just want to know what driver its using and how I got it to the right resolution | 02:10 |
| hittingpilot | Hello, I'm having problems installing a windows game in Ubuntu 8.04 using wine, it's an EULA agreement problem, they have a script that makes you scroll down to the bottom to make the accept button become available and it's not working | 02:10 |
| joetheodd | ace_suares, alright, sweet | 02:10 |
| ace_suares | joetheodd: yes except after time comes usename root in this case./ | 02:10 |
| shaba1 | I kinda just fumbled about yesterday untill it looked right | 02:10 |
| JFlash | nickrud: sounds great but links are too advanced for me . i'm 100 per cent newbie | 02:10 |
| nickrud | shaba1 you would need to examine /var/log/Xorg.0.log to determine the driver. Wish there was an easier way | 02:10 |
| joetheodd | ace_suares, would this work? 2 0 * * * root apt-get dist-upgrade -y | 02:11 |
| nickrud | JFlash trust me, you wanna learn links ;) | 02:11 |
| Synx_hm | Is there a simple way to turn off the auto wireless scanning that ubuntu does so i can run some pen tests while still in X and not have the network mon keep changing the channel of my card? | 02:11 |
| siavash | ace_squares: is there a command line i can use to restore my previlages or just add myself to the admins group? | 02:11 |
| ace_suares | siavash: then do this: 'adduser yourusername admin' | 02:11 |
| shaba1 | so nickrud gksudo gedit /var/log/Xorg.0.log ? is that correct | 02:11 |
| ace_suares | siavash: your user should be able to do sudo again. Make the chanegd in suoderd undone. | 02:11 |
| localgod11 | When I ran noapic apic=off It still freaazes and returns unable to execute /bin/sh for rc-default: no such file or directory | 02:11 |
| nickrud | JFlash wherever you put the eclipse executable, you'll need to it on the path somehow. That sudo ln -s does that for you | 02:11 |
| nickrud | shaba1 yes | 02:11 |
| joetheodd | ace_suares, nevermind, i got it :) | 02:12 |
| nickrud | shaba1 but you don't need sudo simply to read it | 02:12 |
| ace_suares | joetheodd: way to go ! | 02:12 |
| localgod11 | rc-default main proccess (6576) terminated status 255 | 02:12 |
| siavash | ace_suares: thanks a lot, adding myself to the sudoers list was probably the hardest step :) | 02:12 |

| === silorak is now known as GodZero | ||
| shaba1 | ok nickrud and I have a follow up question on eclpise too | 02:12 |
| onats | i was in the middle of upgrading ubuntu, to 8.04, when a power failure happened! now i cant boot.. i just get a blank wallpaper! | 02:12 |
| ace_suares | siavash: it was good work :-) | 02:12 |
| shaba1 | but first let me try to find out how I got the correct screen res | 02:12 |
| Elijah | VISTA SUCKS - sorry but I just spent forever trying to get a internet connnection share with xp that i just used fine in ubuntu and now it doesnt work, it previously worked fine before i booted into ubuntu | 02:13 |
| Elijah | i got it on a roadtrip installed on laptop and have just been to lazy to format off | 02:13 |
| ace_suares | onats: first, buy an ups :-) | 02:13 |
| orphean | onats: do you have access to a livecd? if so you can boot into that, mount your drive and then chroot into your ubuntu filesystem to complete the upgrade from the command line | 02:13 |
| onats | ace_suares, i have one, but it seems that the battery is alread ybusted! :(( | 02:14 |
| siavash | ace_suares: while I'm here i should ask this other question, I've been trying to get my MP960 canon printer to work, I found a driver that works marginally. I tried to get it to work under vmware but it gives me the blue screen every time it starts to print. Apparently it's a known bug. Do you know if using virtual box would be better? or of any other ways to get my printer to work properly? | 02:14 |
| ace_suares | onats: second.. i have no clue waht to do. You muight go to the terminal (alt-ctrl-f1) and login, and rund apt-get -f install BUT I AM NOT SURE> | 02:14 |
| Jack_Sparrow | Elijah Does it work if you power all the way off before switching to ubuntu | 02:14 |
| nickrud | ace_suares that's very good advice | 02:14 |
| localgod11 | When I try to instll hardy its freezes. I tried removing quite and splash while adding noapic apic=off to the boot paramters, however it still doenst boot and returns rc-deafult main process terminated | 02:14 |
| Elijah | Jack_Sparrow, hi there | 02:14 |
| ace_suares | nickrud: the apt-get -f install ?? | 02:15 |
| nickrud | ace_suares yes, from ctl-alt-f1 | 02:15 |
| Cold_Fire | hey guys, i need a little help with my networking | 02:15 |
| ace_suares | nickrud: well we need alt-ctrl-f1 and freinds when we have no X :-))) | 02:15 |
| ace_suares | !question > Cold_Fire | 02:15 |
| onats | ahhh there we go.. ace_suares, good thinking!:D | 02:15 |
| Cold_Fire | i can see my windows file server from my laptop but i cant log in | 02:15 |
| airstrikeivanov | Is Compiz-fusion still a usable program in Ubuntu, or do I have to use whatever software that Ubuntu is running in the Appearance menu? | 02:15 |
| onats | its proceeding with the upgrade, hopefully it works | 02:15 |
| nickrud | ace_suares but, it's usually a good idea to mention ctl-atl-f7 at the same time :) | 02:16 |
| onats | and i ran sudo apt-get upgrade | 02:16 |
| Elijah | my xp worked find with vista ics and then i booted into ubuntu and got ubuntu to work through vista ics, now i booted back to xp and vista has 2 connections , one of which is a "unidentified network" that will not allow a rename or deletion. | 02:16 |
| onats | which asked me to do a dpkg reconfigure | 02:16 |
| cycom | airstrikeivanov: I think it is running compiz fusion. | 02:16 |
| ace_suares | nickrud: I think onats shoudl reboot after apt-get -f install :-))0 | 02:16 |
| ]RandoM[ | how do i connect to an openvpn server in ubuntu | 02:16 |
| cycom | airstrikeivanov: you can always install compizconfig-settings-manager | 02:16 |
| Cold_Fire | i can see my file server computer in its workgroup and all. when i double click the network icon i cant see any of the files or folders that ive shared | 02:16 |
| Cold_Fire | help? | 02:16 |
| MrWizeGuy1983 | airstrikeivanov, the appearance menu references compiz fusion, you can install further controls though | 02:16 |
| airstrikeivanov | I think I finally got OGL installed. Wine kept crashing when I told it to run OpenGL though. | 02:16 |
| nickrud | onats that completes package configuration that didn't quite get there; sudo dpkg --reconfigure -a | 02:17 |
| shaba1 | ok nickrud that am Ilooking for in that file? | 02:17 |
| ]RandoM[ | i installed the openvpn package, but there doesn't seem to be any interface for it and i don't know what to do with my cert/ key files to connect | 02:17 |
| Elijah | wierd that there are only 200+ people in the windows channel when windows has 90%+ market share, how is it linux has 2% and had 10x the users ? | 02:17 |

| MrWizeGuy1983 | Elijah, there's a reason for that, people who use windows don't like it, people who use ubuntu love it | 02:17 |

| FastZ | luke, you can open a terminal window and type 'sudo shutdown now' and hit enter or 'sudo init 0' and hit enter. both will shut the system down | 02:24 |
| ace_suares | luke: ubuntu doesn't want you to quit :-) | 02:24 |
| nickrud | Yooshi by the name: gtk2 s the area inside the borders, metacity is the borders. Not many 'themes' out there, actually. Most people pick and choose | 02:24 |
| jon_high9000 | is there anyone here that has any knowledge regarding LVM? | 02:24 |
| luke | Thanks for the help | 02:24 |

| FastZ | shaba1, when you go to the Application>Developement or whatever menu list, click and drag the application you use the most to an area on the desktop (might not work for menu items on Applications or Places, but I know this works on items listed on the main menu) | 02:28 |

| ace_suares | brianherman: okay something is using your output then | 02:31 |
| onats | ace_suares, you're on kde? | 02:31 |
| amenado | Bill make sure your host has an ip address and a default gateway first thing | 02:31 |
| shaba1 | I tried that too ace_suares | 02:31 |
| ace_suares | brianherman: try 'sudo lsof |grep dsp' | 02:31 |
| shaba1 | Let me try it again | 02:31 |
| ace_suares | onats: no on gnome but kde apps work too. | 02:32 |
| Bill | amenado: i know the wireless works for sure, can get on it with my laptop and gfs | 02:32 |
| shaba1 | I just tried it again ace_suares | 02:32 |
| shaba1 | nothing happened | 02:32 |
| amenado | Bill make sure your host has an ip address and a default gateway first thing <-- host == meant your pc not the Access Point | 02:32 |
| ace_suares | onats: i like kmail beacuse it has maildir mail dirs. Easy to backup. | 02:32 |
| ace_suares | shaba1: gnome or kde ? | 02:32 |
| jon_high9000 | ace_suares: sorry about the typo on last message | 02:32 |
| Bill | amenado: ah, how would i check that, im getting one on the wireless im using now i guess? | 02:33 |
| Hermes | shift+alt+T launches terminal :D | 02:33 |
| ace_suares | jon_high9000: your last message scrolle dof my screen repeat please. | 02:33 |
| shaba1 | xfre ace_suares | 02:33 |
| Hermes | Quite convenient that | 02:33 |
| onats | ace_suares, well i'm going to be using gmail imap on it, so i wont need the backup part.. just need it to be able to sync to my phones (contact management) | 02:33 |
| FastZ | shaba1, which applications are you trying to add to your desktop? | 02:33 |
| amenado | Bill-> ifconfig ; route -n | 02:33 |
| shaba1 | xubuntu I assume use neter kde or gnome | 02:33 |
| brianherman | ace_swares: it comes up with a blank | 02:33 |
| ace_suares | onats: you asked what is the best I said it varies per person and that I like kmail. | 02:33 |
| JDLSpeedy | Bill: ya you do this on the laptop your having issues with | 02:33 |
| shaba1 | FastZ: I just want a general method of doing it | 02:34 |
| FastZ | shaba1, if you know the executable path to the application, you can just create a launcher on your desktop that will open the application when you double click on the icon | 02:34 |
| Tweakerz | can some body please tell me how to load a module for my wifi card | 02:34 |
| ace_suares | shaba1: i dont know if xubuntu has the possibility to do that. | 02:34 |
| Bill | amenado: wont that just do the ipconfig of the network im barrowing, that is unsecured | 02:34 |
| shaba1 | Ok FastZ how do I do that | 02:34 |
| ace_suares | !wifi | Tweakerz | 02:34 |
| ubottu | Tweakerz: Wireless documentation can be found at https://help.ubuntu.com/community/WifiDocs | 02:34 |
| ace_suares | Tweakerz: look for modprobe (try 'man modprobe') | 02:34 |
| amenado | Bill in linux it is ifconfig not ipconfig and per JDLSpeedy ...issue this command on the non connecting host | 02:35 |
| brianherman | ace_swares that doesnt work | 02:35 |
| FastZ | shaba1, for instance, you can create a launcher for Firefox on your desktop by right clicking the desktop and selecting New Launcher (or something like that) and then naming it Firefox and then for the command field, type firefox (all lowercase) and then pick an icon and then you're done | 02:35 |
| Bill | amenado: ah, that means i have to disconnect from you guys, :o | 02:35 |
| ace_suares | brianherman: what does not work ? | 02:35 |
| ace_suares | FastZ: she is using Xubuntu. | 02:35 |
| JDLSpeedy | Bill: bad boy... | 02:36 |
| ace_suares | !xubuntu | shaba1 | 02:36 |
| ubottu | shaba1: Xubuntu is Ubuntu with Xfce instead of !GNOME. More info at http://www.xubuntu.org and http://wiki.ubuntu.com/Xubuntu/ - To install from Ubuntu: « sudo apt-get install xubuntu-desktop » - Join #xubuntu for support - See also: !Ubuntu and !Xubuntu-Channels | 02:36 |
| Tweakerz | ace_suares, ok thanks one second, other mechine has no inet at all so kinda hard | 02:36 |
| amenado | Bill-> well if your box is dual boot, you haft to | 02:36 |
| brianherman | ace_suares when i do that command nothing pops up | 02:36 |
| FastZ | ace_suares, hmm, nevermind that then | 02:36 |
| Bill | i was hoping it was a common issue, that mayb a work around would fix, i tried another wireless application | 02:36 |
| Tweakerz | ace_suares, it shows no devices under modprobe | 02:36 |
| Bill | amenado: no not a dual boot, full ubuntu. and im on a desktop | 02:36 |
| ace_suares | brianherman: okay now go to System -> Preferences -> Sound | 02:36 |
| Hermes | I have a problem | 02:36 |
| shaba1 | ace_suares: there is never anyone at the keys in the xubuntu room | 02:37 |
| shaba1 | that is why I come here | 02:37 |
| Hermes | I'm using Ubuntu and sometimes I can't hear any sound | 02:37 |
| shaba1 | trust me I have been in there | 02:37 |
| ace_suares | shaba1: sorry for that. Switch to gnome :-) | 02:37 |
| jon_high9000 | ace_suares: i saw the screencast for and i already downloaded the alternative disk. i run AMD64. i'm just going through the motions of making certain it won't mess my computer up. | 02:37 |
| ace_suares | Hermes: define sometimes | 02:37 |
| JDLSpeedy | Bill: is there a way you can get on IRC and keep that non-working one connected to the wireless you can't get on? | 02:37 |
| shaba1 | and I do mean every at the keys | 02:37 |
| Hermes | define? | 02:37 |
| brianherman | ace_suares: ok | 02:37 |
| amenado | Bill okay..go ahead and issue those commands ifconfig ; route -n to check for ip address and gateway | 02:37 |
| shaba1 | I was in there for like a week | 02:37 |
| Hermes | What do you mean? | 02:37 |
| shaba1 | every day and no one was talking | 02:38 |
| ace_suares | Hermes: yeah what do you mean by sometimes | 02:38 |
| Bill | JDLSpeedy: well thats the thing, ive never used irc but in linux, all other machines are ubuntu | 02:38 |
| Hermes | Oh sorry | 02:38 |
| Bill | amenado: i can try it and return in a moment | 02:38 |
| n1c0 | hi all, I am facing a reboot issue with a toshiba tecra m2 running ubuntu 8.04. Anyone to help ? | 02:38 |
| Hermes | Well sometimes I can hear sound | 02:38 |
| Hermes | Sometimes no sound comes out the speakers | 02:38 |
| Hermes | Have no idea why | 02:38 |
| ace_suares | !question ? n1c0 | 02:38 |
| ubottu | Factoid question ? n1c0 not found | 02:38 |
| Bill | JDLSpeedy: i meant all other machines are windows | 02:38 |
| ace_suares | !question > n1c0 | 02:39 |
| JDLSpeedy | Bill: you can use xchat | 02:39 |
| amenado | Bill btw you can easily compare the gateway from the working unit you are on and the non connecting one | 02:39 |
| jon_high9000 | ace_suares: the screencast was for gutsy from last year covering partitioning, LVM, AND RAID. | 02:39 |
| Hilikus | what's the kernel that ships with hardy? | 02:39 |
| ace_suares | Hermes: did you define sometimes? When sometimes :? What sometimes ? Just SOMETIMES ? | 02:39 |
| Hermes | Yeah | 02:39 |
| n1c0 | the system hangs, the hd led remains on, no reboot happens | 02:39 |

| Bill | api984: are you speakin to me? | 02:43 |
| api984 | just advising | 02:43 |
| Bill | vocx makes since | 02:43 |
| shaba1 | thanks FastZ I appreciate it | 02:44 |
| Bill | i was asking, i hadnt known wep was a bad option | 02:44 |
| FastZ | bare with me since this machine is running a 400Mhz Intel Celeron CPU and has only 128Mb of RAM | 02:44 |
| brianherman | ace_suares: uh this is what i got 00:1e.2 Multimedia audio controller: Intel Corporation 82801FB/FBM/FR/FW/FRW (ICH6 Family) AC'97 Audio Controller (rev 03) | 02:44 |

| n1c0 | how can I know if the system is able to support reboot, hibernate, etc... ? | 02:44 |
| orphean | Bill: it provdes the illusion of security and will keep out folks who don't know any better. but then, those aren't the folks you tend to care about anyway! :) | 02:44 |
| raghav_ | my contrast is so low i thnk i might have problem with ma screen or something | 02:44 |
| ace_suares | brianherman: you have TWO sound cards ? | 02:44 |
| shaba1 | Which is one of the reasons I use xubuntu on this laptop FastZ | 02:44 |
| FAJALOU | n1c0: have you tried shutting it off? | 02:45 |
| FAJALOU | and normally hibernate isn't the best supported on linux overall | 02:45 |
| amenado | what is so wrong with using WEP or no encryption? as if your signal is so strong it can be captured across town :P..btw look up meraki, they are fielding free wireless access | 02:45 |
| Hermes | What do you mean raghav? | 02:45 |
| n1c0 | FALAJOU: yep, halt is good but reboot, hibernate... | 02:45 |
| ace_suares | amenado: http://www.wirelessleiden.nl/ | 02:45 |
| Bill | orphean: well, i didnt know that. is wep easily cracked? and i also heard there is a program in linux that can access any secured network andhow | 02:45 |
| Bill | anyhow* | 02:45 |
| cycom | Bill: a neighbor with a mac and a Prism II wireless card could crack your network in a few hours and 4 clicks. | 02:45 |
| shaba1 | I spent twelve hours last November trying to get ubuntu installed until someone here told me that I did not have the memory and cpu speed to install it and I should try xubuntu | 02:45 |
| raghav_ | i can barley see my screen the color is too low | 02:46 |
| raghav_ | i think its the os | 02:46 |
| api984 | WEP easy hackable | 02:46 |
| FAJALOU | n1c0: well reboot should be fine,,, and hibernate i wouldn't suggest using period, it's pretty hig and miss on linux | 02:46 |
| shaba1 | 12 hours of my life that i will never get back | 02:46 |
| ace_suares | shaba1: what cpu and mem ? | 02:46 |
| raghav_ | my vista worked fine | 02:46 |
| Hermes | Adjust the brightness then | 02:46 |
| vocx | amenado, I use WEP but I know no one around knows how to crack it. This is common in underdeveloped countries. | 02:46 |
| Bill | well im not protecting anything but bandwidth really, we had some free loaders bogging us down | 02:46 |
| cycom | shaba1: pays to read the docs first, huh? :) | 02:46 |
| raghav_ | ok | 02:46 |
| ramier | whats the best feed reader for linux | 02:46 |
| raghav_ | thanks | 02:46 |
| ace_suares | vocx: a 12 yr old hack our school WEP with his mobile phone in 30 sec without knowing what he was doing. | 02:46 |
| cycom | Bill: Mac filtering will do just as well, as long as they don't learn to spoof :) | 02:46 |
| FAJALOU | !poll | ramier | 02:47 |
| ubottu | ramier: Usually, there is no single "best" application to perform a given task. It's up to you to choose, depending on your preferences, features you require, and other factors. Do NOT take polls in the channel. If you insist on getting people's opinions, ask BestBot in #ubuntu-bots. | 02:47 |
| api984 | WEP unsafe, WPA-PSK or PSK2 safe enught, MAC filtering doesnt help.... | 02:47 |
| amenado | vocx the concept is to share unused bandwidth if one can even get it...ever connect to one AP with a fading in and out signal? hehe | 02:47 |
| n1c0 | FALAJOU: ok. I read that people succeed on hibernating since they manage the screen backlight with toshset command | 02:47 |
| raghav_ | maybe the sun is behin\d me so i have to sit were it is shade | 02:47 |
| ramier | >.< | 02:47 |
| raghav_ | yeah...... | 02:47 |
| ramier | i just want to know a good program since i don't trust google to tell me good programs | 02:47 |
| Bill | man i appreciate all the advice, any one know of the linux program i may have spoke of? | 02:48 |

| suweid | Is there a command that would allow only one copy of a program to run at at time? For example "onlyone firefox" starts firefox, but if I do another "onlyone firefox" before the first one termintes, it does nothing? I can easily write a script to do that, but I wonder if it's been done to death? | 02:48 |

| ace_suares | brianherman: go to sound prefs and change the autodetect. Do you see your sound cards listed ? | 02:51 |
| cycom | gway9000: first, that doesn't need to be a /me, and second, if kids are using IRC unsupervised, they're seeing a lot worse than 'damn' | 02:51 |

| frosty | anyone here familiar with bt.etree.org? | 03:03 |
| offline | Jrib :what's the risks ? | 03:03 |
| Xeon06 | Well nano isnt exactly the most user friendly application to edit stuff is it | 03:03 |
| Xeon06 | And the grub boot configuration probably wont let me edit it in restricted mode | 03:04 |

| ubottu | xeon06: 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) | 03:08 |

| Flannel | georgij: Again, these are things you should be including in your original question. You're currently making it *extremely* difficult to help you, which is why you haven't been helped yet. | 03:41 |
| georgij | So I can boot | 03:41 |
| ozkelligirl | hi all | 03:41 |
| cl0s-home | georgij: can i ask what you want to install grub for? lol with no linux? | 03:41 |
| georgij | I have linux on my external hds | 03:42 |
| Flannel | georgij: How many harddrives do you have in this computer? | 03:42 |
| georgij | 1 | 03:42 |

| Flannel | georgij: Does your BIOS allow you to boot to USB? | 03:42 |
| georgij | and one external thats mine with ubuntu | 03:42 |
| Rael420 | I am trying to reinstall the madwifi thing, my wi fi stopped working. after I unzip when I do make clean I get this: cd: 1: can't cd to /lib/modules/2.6.24-19-generic/build | 03:42 |
| georgij | yes | 03:42 |
| ozkelligirl | can anyone help me | 03:42 |
| georgij | it allows me to boot anything even lan | 03:42 |
| Flannel | georgij: so, you install GRUB to the USB one, and then in the BIOS, select that disk to boot to. | 03:42 |
| FAJALOU | !question | ozkelligirl | 03:42 |
| ubottu | ozkelligirl: 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. :-) | 03:42 |
| Rael420 | then it says Makefile.inc:66: *** /lib/modules/2.6.24-19-generic/build is missing, please set KERNELPATH. Stop. | 03:42 |
| cl0s-home | oo i c.. not 100% sure but you most likely dont need grub u just need to boot off that external hd | 03:42 |
| widespread | hi | 03:42 |
| widespread | can anyone see me? | 03:43 |
| Flannel | georgij: You *cant* install grub on the internal one, without overwriting the windows bootloader. theres only one MBR | 03:43 |
| Flannel | !hi | widespread | 03:43 |
| georgij | Ok flannel how do i install grub | 03:43 |
| ubottu | widespread: Hi! Welcome to #ubuntu! | 03:43 |

| georgij | let me overwrite the Windows bootloader | 03:43 |
| Schuenemann | can anyone tell me what packages should I install for compiz? | 03:43 |
| georgij | I dont want the windows bootloader | 03:43 |
| ozkelligirl | i'm using ubuntu8.04 how do i get rolling block screen working | 03:43 |
| cl0s-home | georgij: go to your bios and change the boot sequence, put your usb drive first.. | 03:43 |
| Flannel | georgij: Is this a fresh install of Ubuntu on the USB drive? | 03:43 |
| georgij | I want grub how can i replace it? | 03:43 |
| webcamwonder | Schuenemann If you have ubuntu installed, all the necessary packages are already installed | 03:44 |
| cl0s-home | IF its setup right it should just work.. | 03:44 |
| Flannel | georgij: please stop repeating the same question. You're being helped. Stop asking the same thing again and again. | 03:44 |
| siavash | anyone know if you can install printer drivers in virtual box and not get the same error you get in vmware? | 03:44 |
| Schuenemann | webcamwonder, actually I'm using KDE | 03:44 |
| georgij | But when I leave here how is my friend going to use this computer since it is his | 03:44 |
| elky | Flannel, why not take georgij into #ubuntu-classroom where there'll be less noise. | 03:44 |
| cl0s-home | georgij: for what you want, it makes no sense to go thru the hassle of installing grub just to boot windows.. you need to just boot off the usb hd.. when you leave there is no usb hd so it will go to the secondary which is prob cd then his hd.. | 03:45 |
| Schuenemann | webcamwonder, is it just compiz package? | 03:45 |
| Flannel | georgij: /join #ubuntu-classroom | 03:45 |
| georgij | If i say like this I have no bootloader please learn me how to install grub | 03:45 |
| webcamwonder | Schuenemann you need the compiz-core package if i am not mistaken, it won't require you to install the GDE | 03:45 |
| bluefoxx | whats the command to force an version upgrade?? | 03:46 |
| siavash | ok another question, why does the grub keep populating my start up list with more and more kernel versions? | 03:46 |
| === khyron is now known as khyron320 | ||
| Flannel | georgij: /join #ubuntu-classroom | 03:46 |
| FAJALOU | siavash: because you have multiple kernels, and when you update grub, it detects the different kernels | 03:47 |
| === khyron320 is now known as khyron | ||

| recon69 | Rael420: I would say you are missing some build tools, check to see if you have build-essentials ect installed | 03:47 |
| FAJALOU | there is a place in the grub menu.lst that gives you the option of only showing one kernel | 03:47 |
| bluefoxx | its something like sudo aptitude force-upgrade isnt it?say going from 7.10 to 8.04 i mean... | 03:47 |

| crimsaq | could anyone tell me how to get 'libnotify'? | 03:48 |
| amenado | bluefoxx-> may i suggest a new install instead of upgrade to avoid any headache on updates? | 03:48 |
| jrib | crimsaq: use your favorite package manager. It is in the repositories | 03:48 |
| NForc3r | hey guys, how do i stream media files off a server to my laptop running ubuntu? i linked my ubuntu laptop to my media server (windows). i go to the networked folder with all my music on my ubuntu laptop. i can see the files, copy them to my hard drive and all but i cant run them off my server. how do i run them on my server | 03:48 |
| Flannel | crimsaq: looks like the package is "libnotify1" | 03:48 |
| FAJALOU | or siavash you could try sudo update-grub and see if they disappear | 03:48 |
| nomopofomo | Paying 100 dollars to anyone who figures out what font is all pipes and squares! | 03:49 |
| Rael420 | recon69: I did the build-essiential install and it says :build-essential is already the newest version. | 03:49 |
| psyntience | crimsaq: sudo apt-get insatll pidgin-libnotify | 03:49 |
| bluefoxx | amenado; im just wondering what the command is, imnot using it...i have a blank machine sitting here and i had the idea to isntall ibex on it to watch it progress | 03:49 |
| crimsaq | I found it as libnotify-bin in aptitude? | 03:49 |
| psyntience | install even | 03:49 |
| * psyntience can't spell. | 03:49 | |
| yoyoned | siavash: uninstall the kernels you aren't using, and the extra entries will go away as well | 03:49 |
| crimsaq | and for XChat, not pidgin :P | 03:49 |
| siavash | FAJALOU: so there is no file where the boot options are listed like in windows? | 03:49 |
| siavash | yoyoned: how do I do that? | 03:49 |
| doubled_ | I have a g15 keyboard from logitech. from g15tools.com i've downloaded all the files they offer. now i need to install it, but i dont know how. the readme says i need to install libg15 first. so then i checked the readme in that folder. and it said to do ./configure.. from that point it configures some stuff but then stops and says "configure: error: "libusb not found. please install it". so i did "locate libusb" and it found some files already on my sy | 03:49 |
| doubled_ | stem so i dont know why its saying it cant find libusb. | 03:49 |
| NForc3r | my idea was to get a laptop with a small hard drive to wirelessly connect to my desktop with a massive hard drive and stream movies and music off the big PCs hard drive | 03:50 |
| NForc3r | ? | 03:50 |
| amenado | bluefoxx-> well you can not upgrade and empty one, so you just have to install | 03:50 |

| siavash | yep | 03:50 |
| FAJALOU | siavash: yes there is... it's boot/grub/menu.lst | 03:50 |
| Flannel | crimsaq: -bin is a binary, do you need the program "libnotify" or just the library? | 03:50 |
| webcamwonder | Schuenemann I am sorry, I cannot find the exact packages required, maybe someone else can help you | 03:50 |
| siavash | cool thx FAJALOU | 03:50 |

| NForc3r | matthew. install compiz manager from add remove programs then go to the zoom menu thing and change the contols | 03:51 |

| dmsuperman | nomopofomo, I use Courier | 03:52 |

| FAJALOU | siavash: yes it's safe, i actually just did it | 03:53 |
| dmsuperman | nomopofomo, don't bother paying 100 bucks to figure it out though, i'm sure somebody here will know without needing money :P | 03:53 |
| NForc3r | mathew. make it like windows button and + or something :D | 03:53 |
| Flannel | siavash: Its usually a good idea to leave two (the current one and an old, known working one). Just remove the various older linux-image files | 03:53 |
| Rael420 | what should I do to check that | 03:53 |
| nomopofomo | dmsuperman, that's what I'm betting on :) | 03:53 |
| nomopofomo | dmsuperman, I just use that to get your attention ^_^ hehehe | 03:53 |
| siavash | :)) sounds good | 03:53 |
| dubuntu | Flannel: thanks | 03:53 |
| amenado | bluefoxx once more, the sequence will be to install via a liveCd or alternate CD and then do an upgrade via synaptic or command line apt-get upgrade | 03:53 |
| dmsuperman | heh | 03:53 |
| doubled_ | Matthew: connect a normal mouse, at least for me i think laptop touchpads are irritating. nevertheless, you can change keybindings for every function in compiz via the advanced settings | 03:53 |
| YeaSt | Sat Jun 21 23:53:41 ADT 2008 | 03:53 |
| recon69 | Rael420: check synaptic | 03:53 |
| Flannel | YeaSt: Please turn that off | 03:54 |
| yoyoned | siavash: in synaptic, search for linux-image. it will show all the kernels you currently have installed. if you open a terminal and type uname -a it it will tell you what you current running kernel is. in synaptic,uninstall all the other kernels besides the one you are running | 03:54 |

| nickrud | dru do sudo update-alternatives --config xulrunner-1.9-flashplugin.so | 04:26 |
| dlozarie | well, @dmsuperman had told me that the partition in which ubuntu is installed must have a ext3 filesystem, so yes I assume so. | 04:26 |
| dmsuperman | drenz, just open it, it'll open with the archive manager | 04:26 |
| cl0s-home | drenz: if you already have hardy just run an update.. | 04:26 |
| unavailable | dlozarie and youre in live session, so the only locked part *should be* your swap file.. | 04:26 |
| drenz | dmsuperman, thanx | 04:26 |
| drenz | much | 04:26 |
| dmsuperman | drenz, extract it where you want to install it to (usually /opt/firefox) and then run firefox | 04:26 |
| dru | No alternatives for xulrunner-1.9-flashplugin.so. | 04:26 |
| unavailable | dlozarie what other os's do you have? | 04:26 |
| dmsuperman | doubled, autohotkeys? | 04:26 |
| dlozarie | @unavailable, I dual-boot with *eherm* Windows Vista. | 04:27 |
| dmsuperman | oh my | 04:27 |
| unavailable | dlozarie are there any partitions in between the ubuntu part and the part you wish to add to it?> | 04:27 |
| nickrud | dru doh: sudo update-alternatives --config xulrunner-1.9-flashplugin | 04:27 |
| doubled | dmsuperman: its the lcd on the kayboard which makes the difference, and it has lit keys, and there are extra buttons for controlling the lcd and audacious\winamp | 04:27 |
| cl0s-home | did anybody else not get a vista cd with thier knew vista machine? | 04:27 |
| cl0s-home | lol | 04:27 |
| dmsuperman | i love how everybody who has windows comes in this channel and gets all embarassed that they have it installed...it's like being addicted to heroin and admitting to it when somebody asks | 04:27 |
| dru | nickrud: same | 04:27 |
| drenz | what mp3 player is good to install on ubuntu im new | 04:27 |
| dlozarie | @unavailable, well gparted is listing /dev/sda1 until /dev/sda6. | 04:27 |

| dlozarie | @unavailable, altho there isn't any /dev/sda4. | 04:28 |
| unavailable | rofl | 04:28 |
| dmsuperman | doubled, i have media buttons, the lcd is useless to me (i have 2 monitors, and soon to be 4 monitors for viewing information) and backlit keys are also inexpensive | 04:28 |
| NetEcho | is there a system variable that stores what your username is? | 04:28 |
| dmsuperman | doubled, but we're getting offtopic :D | 04:28 |
| nickrud | dru I need to get some sleep: sudo update-alternatives --config xulrunner-flashplugin | 04:28 |
| dlozarie | hey, uhm, in gparted there's this unallocated 12 GiB and I can't resize it or whatever but there is the "new" option that I can do with it. What does that do? | 04:28 |
| dmsuperman | cl0s-home, i built my machine, and specifically told newegg i didn't want the free vista cd they were offering. that's how much i hate it | 04:29 |
| unavailable | dlozarie sda5 is ubuntu? | 04:29 |
| doubled | dmsuperman: i have 1 good monitor, 24" widescreen samsung 244T | 04:29 |
| nickrud | dru need to stop thinking my memory is good with 4 hrs sleep last night | 04:29 |
| dmsuperman | dlozarie, allows you to creat a new partition | 04:29 |
| cl0s-home | my girl bought me a vaio it came preloaded with vista | 04:29 |
| dmsuperman | doubled, it's like 2 bucks for a CRT | 04:29 |
| wazzzz | doubled, i have the same monitor | 04:29 |
| dmsuperman | doubled, and they have much better contrast than lcd | 04:29 |
| wazzzz | its sweet | 04:29 |
| cl0s-home | but i got no cds or anything.. i whiped it anyway had no plans of ever using it.. but i could have maybe atleast sold it | 04:29 |
| doubled | wazzzz: nice :D | 04:29 |
| dlozarie | @dmsuperman, oh. okay. I dont want a new partition, so cursors off that button. @unavailable, yes. | 04:29 |
| cl0s-home | no drivers or anything?? | 04:29 |
| Elijah | cl0s-home, doesn't that suck, i had to buy a laptop with vista on the orad | 04:29 |
| Elijah | road | 04:29 |
| unavailable | dlozarie ok right click on sda5 | 04:30 |
| nickrud | !ot | dmsuperman cl0s-home all you vista talking dudes ;) | 04:30 |
| ubottu | dmsuperman cl0s-home all you vista talking dudes ;): #ubuntu is the Ubuntu support channel, #ubuntu+1 supports the development version of Ubuntu and #ubuntu-offtopic is for random chatter. Welcome! | 04:30 |
| drenz | dmsuperman, firefox openning with archive and ask me to extract what to de? | 04:30 |
| drenz | to do*? | 04:30 |
| dlozarie | @unavailable, done. | 04:30 |
| unavailable | dlozarie select "resize" | 04:30 |
| Elijah | cl0s-home, you wouldn't sell a 5 year old crack would you? | 04:30 |
| ronin12345 | damn trying to get the latest ATI drivers working is arse... Anyone know of a good how to for the latests 8.6 under hardy? | 04:30 |
| dlozarie | @unavailable, "resize/move" clicked. | 04:30 |
| doubled | dmsuperman: i will give you 100 euros if you give me a crt of 2 bucks that has better quality than my lcd | 04:30 |
| dmsuperman | drenz, told you, extract it wherever you want to install it to (usually /opt/firefox) then run the executable (/opt/firefox/firefox) | 04:30 |
| dru | nickrud: still does not work, i followed the prompt used option 1, restarted ff .. nothing .. went back and tryed option 2 and restared, nothing | 04:30 |
| unavailable | dlozarie drag the leftmost highlighted edge as far to the left as youcan | 04:30 |
| cl0s-home | if someone is willing to buy it.. why not? | 04:31 |
| doubled | wazzzz: up | 04:31 |
| doubled | sorry had to do it | 04:31 |
| Elijah | cl0s-home, selling crack to a 5 year old and selling vista to someone both equate to wishing bad things for their future :) | 04:31 |
| dmsuperman | doubled, I've got 3 sitting in my apartment. CRTs have ALWAYS had better picture than LCD. The reason people like LCDs so much is lower power consumption and smaller footprint | 04:31 |
| dlozarie | @unavailable, the left side of the box, right? nope, can't drag it to the right (or to the left, for that matter) any further. | 04:31 |
| cl0s-home | oo i miss understood ur question | 04:31 |
| cl0s-home | lol | 04:31 |
| Elijah | cl0s-home, it is just plain wrong. evil | 04:31 |

| drenz | dmsuperman, i extract it on dresktop and i run firefox it open like a txt | 04:32 |
| dlozarie | @unavailable, hold on. | 04:32 |
| dmsuperman | doubled, LCDs have to use cheating mechanisms to show black, and even then it's not black. Plus, they suck for any video such as games or movies (muuuuch lower contrast) | 04:32 |
| cl0s-home | lolol.. noo ur right.. i thought u said a 5 year old crack.. thought u meant like a windows crack or photoshop crack. lolol | 04:32 |
| Bhavesh | well i fixed my problem with system not booting after attaching drives to fakeRAID ctrl | 04:32 |
| unavailable | dlozarie but you cant add to it? | 04:32 |

| doubled | dmsuperman: i dont see television manufacturers making any crt televisions anymore | 04:32 |
| dlozarie | @unavailable, nope, unfortunately not. Altho there's this 12GiB of unallocated space sitting right there waiting to be used. lol | 04:32 |
| Elijah | #channel list | 04:32 |
| nickrud | dru very strange. do sudo apt-get purge flashplugin-nonfree libflashsupport && sudo apt-get install flashplugin-nonfree libflashsupport . I'm assuming you've used no other way to install flash? | 04:32 |
| dmsuperman | doubled, they make plasmas now | 04:32 |
| unavailable | dlozarie does it show in this view? | 04:32 |
| MrWizeGuy1983 | firefox 3 final is now in hardy it says | 04:33 |
| dmsuperman | doubled, plasmas look good. LCDs do not look good. | 04:33 |
| dmsuperman | doubled, I take that back, _some_ LCDs look good | 04:33 |
| dlozarie | @unavailable, "free space preceding: 0", "new size: 7177 (that was the original)", and "free space following: 0". That's what it says below the draggable rectangle. | 04:33 |
| MrWizeGuy1983 | but is it out on windows? | 04:33 |
| cl0s-home | thats my que.. roll up time.. peace guys.. | 04:33 |
| doubled | dmsuperman: like mine :p | 04:33 |
| drenz | mm.. i run it and i press display and opened like txt press run opened old fire fox 3 BETA | 04:33 |
| dmsuperman | doubled, but those are very very very expensive, and overpriced for what you get | 04:33 |
| doubled | anyway, im gonna go to sleep | 04:33 |
| drenz | dmsuperman, | 04:33 |
| doubled | well mine was 1000 euros | 04:33 |
| doubled | :p | 04:33 |
| dmsuperman | doubled, bye :) | 04:33 |

| dru | nickrud: it was working fine the other day, then i get on and it dont work | 04:34 |
| drenz | Mozilla fire fox beta 5 dmsuperman | 04:35 |
| nickrud | dru very strange. Did you install firefox3 from the ubuntu repos? | 04:35 |
| dlozarie | @unavailable, it's vexing! I've been trying to add more space for Ubuntu's use since yesterday. @nickrud had helped me with it, but still we weren't able to solve it. | 04:35 |
| unavailable | ok | 04:35 |
| cl0s-home | Elijah: Tools > Room List | 04:35 |
| unavailable | dlozarie try this.... right click the swapspace | 04:35 |

| unavailable | dlozarie click "swapoff" | 04:35 |
| doubled | ill come back tommorow for my installing issues | 04:35 |
| doubled | cya ;D | 04:35 |
| MrWizeGuy1983 | dmsuperman, why do people ask about .rar etc.? the default always works for me | 04:35 |
| dru | nickrud: i upgraded via the update manager to the newest version of ubuntu .. and it automatically upgraded firefox | 04:35 |
| nickrud | !info firefox-3.0 | 04:35 |
| ubottu | firefox-3.0 (source: firefox-3.0): safe and easy web browser from Mozilla. In component main, is optional. Version 3.0+nobinonly-0ubuntu0.8.04.1 (hardy), package size 1038 kB, installed size 3552 kB | 04:35 |

| dmsuperman | MrWizeGuy1983, who knows :D | 04:36 |
| nickrud | yep, it's in the repos | 04:36 |
| dlozarie | @unavailable, it's the partition with filesystem "linux-swap" right? | 04:36 |
| unavailable | yep | 04:36 |
| drenz | dmsuperman, i update all my ubuntu i think and fire fox gonna updated to 3 | 04:36 |
| dlozarie | @unavailable, clicked. it's scanning now. | 04:36 |
| unavailable | ok | 04:36 |

| dru | nickrud: lol im confused ... | 04:36 |
| unavailable | dlozarie click "details" | 04:37 |
| dlozarie | @unavailable, I'm sorry, I don't see any "details" button here. | 04:37 |
| nickrud | dru could be an issue with the upgrade ... hm. One last possibility for an easy fix: sudo update-alternatives --config xulrunner-addons-flashplugin | 04:37 |
| unavailable | near the bottom try to expand the view | 04:37 |
| Gun_Smoke | looking for a cli usenet client.. | 04:38 |
| unavailable | dlozaire near the bottom try to expand the view | 04:38 |
| dmsuperman | Gun_Smoke, google is your friend | 04:38 |
| Herissy | to install the official firefox 3 just type sudo apt-get install firefox right? | 04:38 |
| ALPSINC | hello all | 04:38 |
| Gun_Smoke | dmsuperman, Oh I know.. I'm looking for opinions.. | 04:38 |
| dmsuperman | Herissy, aye | 04:38 |
| nano_ | how can i make changes in my /etc/fstab without having to reboot? | 04:38 |
| dmsuperman | Gun_Smoke, ah | 04:38 |
| MrWizeGuy1983 | Herissy, yes but if you've been doing your updates you've had it for around a week or 2 | 04:38 |
| dmsuperman | nano_, just edit it, save, and umount and remount volumes | 04:38 |
| Gun_Smoke | Pan currently... | 04:38 |
| dru | nickrud: i love you .. haha thanks man it works | 04:39 |
| nano_ | dmacnutt, thnx | 04:39 |
| dmsuperman | you mean dmsuperman? :P | 04:39 |
| dlozarie | @unavailable, hold on. right above the status bar there's a box with "grow /dev/sda1 from ....." and "shrink /dev/sda1 from...." when I right click on the empty space, an option "apply all operations" appears. I should click on that right? | 04:39 |
| dmsuperman | screwed up my name :( | 04:39 |
| ALPSINC | what is the easiest way to have three systems with the same software be updated at the same time (system updates, automaticly) | 04:39 |
| siavash | does 7zip have a gui? or is it command line only? | 04:39 |
| dlozarie | @siavash, it has a GUI. | 04:39 |
| Herissy | i haven't and mine is 3b5 still | 04:39 |
| Gun_Smoke | dmsuperman, do you use usenet? | 04:39 |
| dmsuperman | siavash, in windows it has a GUI, but i think it just extends archive manager in linux | 04:39 |
| nickrud | dru heh. That's not how mine gets firefox, but I saw some possibilities in the file system | 04:39 |
| Herissy | Ill finally have it prolly sometime next week.. | 04:39 |
| dmsuperman | Gun_Smoke, naw | 04:39 |
| unavailable | dlozarie.. im not too sure about that.. | 04:40 |
| ALPSINC | anyone? | 04:40 |
| dlozarie | @unavailable, well if I'm interpreting this right, I'd tried to shrink /dev/sda1 but the operation to do so didn't commence yet. | 04:40 |
| dmsuperman | ALPSINC, "sudo apt-get upgrade" on each | 04:40 |
| nickrud | ALPSINC what do you mean, at the same time? Use the same debs so you don't have to keep downloading them? | 04:40 |
| unavailable | dlozarie did you actually try to shrink it? | 04:40 |
| dru | nickrud: yea thanks for tryin so hard, im better php anyways .. if you ever need anything .. my email is .. dru@beer.com | 04:40 |
| localgod11 | PLease help I cant get my nvidia fx 5200 pci play nice with ubuntu | 04:40 |
| dlozarie | @unavailable, I tried to shrink /dev/sda1 | 04:40 |
| unavailable | ok | 04:41 |
| unavailable | then yah | 04:41 |
| siavash | I installed it (p7zip-full), but my archive manager still can't handle my rar file | 04:41 |
| MrWizeGuy1983 | localgod11, you should try envyng | 04:41 |
| localgod11 | I did no luck | 04:41 |
| webcamwonder | siavash sudo apt-get install rar unrar | 04:41 |
| nickrud | dru I'll remember that. I do a little php now and then, and I depend on 20yearold memories of programming and a couple books ;) | 04:41 |
| unavailable | dlozarie as long as you recognize the actions it is trying to take | 04:41 |
| ALPSINC | nickrud: i have synaptic be able to notify when updates are available, but not to install? | 04:41 |
| webcamwonder | siavash that should get you rar and unrar capabilities in filemanager | 04:41 |
| dlozarie | @unavailable, I've clicked on the "apply all operations" button. this is gonna take a long time, I reckon. yes, I recognize the actions it's trying to make. | 04:41 |
| localgod11 | MrWizeGuy1983: I did no luck | 04:41 |
| MrWizeGuy1983 | localgod11, what did it say when you tried it? | 04:41 |
| ALPSINC | is that just a simple setting? | 04:41 |
| siavash | webcamwonder I'll try that | 04:41 |
| unavailable | ok | 04:41 |
| unavailable | dlozarie how big is your drive? | 04:42 |
| dmsuperman | dlozarie, it usually has to move all the files on the partition around to resize | 04:42 |
| nickrud | ALPSINC yes, system->admin->software sources updates tab | 04:42 |
| localgod11 | MrWizeGuy1983: dumpeed me to root access on boot | 04:42 |
| dlozarie | @unavailable, I have one 120GB hard drive. 1 of 2 operations complete. | 04:42 |
| ALPSINC | nickrud: ahhh thanks so much! | 04:42 |
| siavash | webcamwonder: Thx it works! | 04:42 |
| * unavailable hopes it doesnt try to move windows files | 04:42 | |
| MrWizeGuy1983 | localgod11, did you run it as root? just with sudo? | 04:42 |
| webcamwonder | siavash Glad to Help! | 04:42 |
| dmsuperman | localgod11, sudo dpkg-reconfigure xserver-xorg | 04:42 |
| ALPSINC | you have saved me quite a bit of time :P | 04:42 |
| dmsuperman | localgod11, reconfigure xorg.conf | 04:43 |
| webcamwonder | siavash You might want to remove 7zip if you installed it | 04:43 |
| dmsuperman | localgod11, back it up first though | 04:43 |
| nickrud | ALPSINC I live for saving others effort ;p | 04:43 |
| localgod11 | MrWizeGuy1983: used sudo | 04:43 |
| siavash | webcamwonder: purged it already haha | 04:43 |
| ALPSINC | :p | 04:43 |
| webcamwonder | siavash Good for you :) | 04:43 |
| Chrysalis | hey, ive noticed that my download speeds usually top out at 700-800kbps, i have a 10mbps connection and speed test usually shows around 5-8mbps, i use a router to split the connection between 4 computers, i have not tried directly out of the modem yet but can someone point me to the right direction with solving this problem or is it common to have your download speeds top at 800kbps behind a router | 04:43 |
| MrWizeGuy1983 | localgod11, you can try what dmsuperman said or log in to root and try it | 04:43 |
| dlozarie | @unavailable, I've been contemplating on removing windows altogether anyway, so if Windows refuses to work, then... | 04:43 |
| unavailable | dmsuperman now in gparted swapoff is only per session? | 04:43 |
| dmsuperman | unavailable, no clue, i never used gparted | 04:44 |
| unavailable | dlozarie me too. but that dang sims keeps windows on my pc | 04:44 |
| unavailable | rofl | 04:44 |
| dmsuperman | hahaha | 04:44 |
| dlozarie | @unavailable, yeah I could never part with Sims 2 Open For Business. | 04:44 |
| dmsuperman | unavailable, agreed. supreme commander is the sole purpose of windows on my machine | 04:44 |
| dlozarie | lol but I have a desktop machine running Mammon's Windows XP, sooo.. | 04:44 |
| * unavailable tried sims2 on a virtualbox xp ..... ... | 04:45 | |
| localgod11 | dmsuperman: once i do that how to i rebot the xserver? | 04:45 |
| dmsuperman | localgod11, sudo /etc/init.d/gdm stop | 04:45 |
| kaboom | I decided to go dual boot because my wife is stuborn and won't switch out of windows. | 04:45 |
| MrWizeGuy1983 | i'm curious, i wonder if there's a way to resize partitions while inside ubuntu, you can do it from inside vista | 04:45 |
| dmsuperman | sudo /etc/init.d/gdm start | 04:45 |
| unavailable | localgod11 ctrl alt backspace? | 04:45 |
| dmsuperman | or just restart | 04:45 |
| ALPSINC | nickrud: one more question, do you know of any other remote (a.k.a. from a computer 2ft away from my systems, because i have no spare money to buy monitator/kbord/mse for them) administration (users/useage ect...) with a gui | 04:45 |
| dmsuperman | unavailable, I think he's in a TTY, not sure if that shortcut works there | 04:45 |
| localgod11 | MrWizeGuy1983: you can with gpared | 04:45 |
| unavailable | aah | 04:45 |
| dmsuperman | ALPSINC, ssh | 04:45 |
| dlozarie | @MrWizeGuy, I'm resizing partitions now in a live session. | 04:45 |
| localgod11 | gparted | 04:45 |
| cycom | ALPSINC: vnc. | 04:45 |
| nickrud | ALPSINC I've seen people use vnc and vncserver and a few others, but I'm not real familiar with them | 04:46 |
| ALPSINC | ahh | 04:46 |
| MrWizeGuy1983 | with what program? gparted doesn't give the option | 04:46 |
| dmsuperman | vnc is really easy | 04:46 |
| nickrud | ALPSINC I do my remote stuff with ssh | 04:46 |
| cycom | ALPSINC: make sure you use something secure to tunnel it though | 04:46 |
| dlozarie | this progress bar is scaring me. Hope my laptop doesnt spontaneously combust. | 04:46 |
| ALPSINC | right.. | 04:46 |
| unavailable | mrwizeguy1983 depends on how you want to do it... if you want to resize an active partition you must boot into a live cd | 04:46 |
| kaboom | Hey anybody got yahoo messenger 7.347 to work ? | 04:46 |
| unavailable | nope | 04:46 |
| unavailable | good luck | 04:46 |
| dmsuperman | ALPSINC, SSH gives you command line access, VNC gives you gui access. I find SSH to be better, simply that it runs easier and takes no configuration to run | 04:46 |
| ALPSINC | dmsuperman: i use ssh... but i was hoping there was a better tool with a gui :) | 04:46 |
| dmsuperman | ALPSINC, but if you prefer a GUI environment, VNC works just as well | 04:46 |
| unavailable | kaboom i use virtualbox | 04:46 |
| MrWizeGuy1983 | that's exactly what i was talking about unavailable but vista lets you do it to an active partition | 04:46 |
| yo | wow | 04:46 |
| ALPSINC | yes thanks :) | 04:47 |
| dmsuperman | kaboom, any reason not to use pidgin? | 04:47 |
| yo | I'm unbanned | 04:47 |
| ALPSINC | i'll look into that | 04:47 |
| unavailable | dmsuperman voice? | 04:47 |

| kaboom | and i do go into yahoo chats .. and pidgin seemed unreliable for the yahoo chats | 04:47 |
| dmsuperman | unavailable, I know that, I was wondering his reasons though because if not for voice/video I always recommend pidgin over trying to get their clients to work :P | 04:47 |
| yo | nixternal: | 04:47 |

| unavailable | dlozarie as long as its not an X | 04:48 |
| dmsuperman | dlozarie, perhaps...it's pretty difficult to get it working on all platforms that pidgin is running on though | 04:49 |
| dlozarie | @unavailable, no X's here. | 04:49 |
| dmsuperman | dlozarie, i'm sure it's on the list, just a matter of actually doing it | 04:49 |

| khaotik | so will all the applications i love to use work in 64 bit? | 04:50 |
| unavailable | khaotik unless you have a real need for 64 bit computing, i would say go with 32 bit... the software list sucks with 64 bit | 04:51 |
| yo | nixternal: so the codlug is done!?! | 04:51 |
| dmsuperman | dlozarie, totally agreed. I don't care about voice/video chat here, i use my internet tablet for that, so I love pidgin :D | 04:51 |

| dlozarie | @dmsuperman, whoa! there's a video/audio chat option on meebo! | 04:51 |
| chr0n1c | i even compiled it myself though for 64bit | 04:51 |

| spideyman | theFATMAN, have you seen the version of amorok yet? | 05:18 |
| spideyman | theFATMAN, v 2 sry | 05:18 |

| dmsuperman | I hate pulseaudio | 05:19 |
| dmsuperman | pulseaudio is the sole reason i switched back to gutsy | 05:20 |

Once in a while, however, some applications will just lock up (like xchat just did, or firefox does once in a while, or gnome-panels did). I kill them, and they reopen. What would be the cause of this? | 05:21 |

| nickrud | siavash_ what I think is happening is the (hd1,2) reference is no longer correct when the usb drive is plugged in. I'm not a grub expert by any means, so I think you should take this to #grub. You're using UUID's for everything else, so those partition references won't change based on a disk reference change | 06:09 |

| boris | did I sed thet I am on gutsy :) | 06:17 |
| Flannel | axisys: the audio (actual "talking" part) is Jingle, which is an extension to XMPP. There are a number of clients that support it (pidgin isn't one). Try Telepathy, or... well, here's a list: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Jingle_%28protocol%29 | 06:17 |

| siavash_ | so i tried to get just the screenlet weather instead of clearweather | 06:29 |
| unavailable | siavash_ they are all the same link though | 06:29 |
| dmsuperman | Mr_Cheeto, -t then the filesystem, usually usb uses fat32 (vfat for the -t option) | 06:29 |
| siavash_ | but now every time i boot i have to manually start weather and shutdown clearweather | 06:30 |
| unavailable | siavash_ lol just like my "rightclick on windowlist" and it disappears, so i reopen it, then restart and there's like 8 of em open | 06:30 |
| siavash_ | unavailable, exactly what i mean by buggy | 06:31 |
| unavailable | siavash_ delete clearweather | 06:31 |
| Mr_Cheeto | dmsuperman, hmmm, doesn't seem to work, how can i make sure it's at least detecting what's plugged into my USB port? | 06:31 |
| dmsuperman | the only thing i use my widget layer for right now is dimming my screens | 06:31 |
| dmsuperman | Mr | 06:31 |
| dlozarie | 'sup fellas. I'm back. | 06:31 |
| [GG]Crimson | Hey guys, I'm having some trouble here... I'm trying to follow these directions http://tf2wiki.net/wiki/Linux_dedicated_server , but when I do, I get this error from the terminal "chmod: cannot access `hldsupdatetool.bin': No such file or directory" and when I try "sudo ~/Destop/hldsupdatetool.bin" I also get a Command not found. Any help? | 06:31 |
| unavailable | dlozarie no probs i hope? | 06:31 |
| siavash_ | unavailable, you mean uninstall it? I can't uninstall it | 06:31 |
| dmsuperman | Mr_Cheeto, "sudo fdisk -l" will list the detected storage devices | 06:31 |
| unavailable | siavash_ no manually delete it | 06:32 |
| dmsuperman | [GG]Crimson, that means that it's not where you think it is | 06:32 |
| dlozarie | @unavailable, nope. all systems go. (for ubuntu, at least, but I'm not booting into vista anytime soon.) I ran df -h in the terminal, and sure enough i've got 15gigs for storage. thanks again for the help! :) | 06:32 |
| dmsuperman | [GG]Crimson, plus you spelled "desktop" wrong | 06:32 |
| [GG]Crimson | Hmm I saved it to the desktop | 06:32 |
| [GG]Crimson | well here I did, not in the terminal I checked... | 06:32 |
| unavailable | yep | 06:32 |
| dmsuperman | [GG]Crimson, "sudo ~/Desktop/hldsupdatetool.bin" | 06:32 |
| * unavailable is glad to see another satisfied customer | 06:33 | |
| siavash_ | unavailabe, you mean the file ~/.config/Screenlets/ClearWeather | 06:33 |
| Mr_Cheeto | it appears I have been affected by a bug, my USB hubs are dead,as well as my 1394 | 06:33 |
| dmsuperman | [GG]Crimson, i dunno what to say, but if you typed that and it says not found then that file doesn't exist | 06:33 |
| unavailable | yep | 06:33 |
| siavash_ | alright | 06:33 |
| dmsuperman | Mr_Cheeto, or hardware failure | 06:33 |
| [GG]Crimson | I'll try to save it to a different place and see if it finds it | 06:33 |
| ikasa4 | hello guys | 06:33 |
| ikasa4 | asking, where to find 3d games for ubuntu? | 06:33 |
| dmsuperman | [GG]Crimson, you can always do "cd ~/Desktop" then "ls -al" to list the files on your desktop, to be sure it's there | 06:34 |
| xbj9000 | ikasa4 try Open Arena | 06:34 |
| unavailable | ikasa4 install wine, then go get trackmania nations forever | 06:34 |
| siavash_ | here goes | 06:34 |
| [GG]Crimson | ok let me try that | 06:34 |
| ikasa4 | whats arena? | 06:34 |
| bazhang | ikasa4, in synaptic package manager | 06:34 |
| dlozarie | hmm. I'm really seriously contemplating on removing Vista from my PC> | 06:34 |
| dmsuperman | hurray! | 06:34 |
| unavailable | lol | 06:34 |
| xbj9000 | ikasa Open Arena is a game similar to Halo | 06:34 |
| [GG]Crimson | Yeah its there.... | 06:34 |
| dlozarie | lol | 06:34 |
| dmsuperman | another person awakens from their lame-coma! | 06:34 |
| unavailable | rofl | 06:35 |
| * unavailable still uses windows for sims 2 | 06:35 | |
| ikasa4 | does the size big? | 06:35 |
| [GG]Crimson | -rw-r--r-- 1 crimson root 3513408 2008-06-21 22:24 hldsupdatetool.bin | 06:35 |
| ikasa4 | cause im using only 384 kbps internet connection | 06:35 |
| dmsuperman | [GG]Crimson, type this: "sudo ~/Des<TAB>hld<TAB>" | 06:35 |
| unavailable | when the port or wine stability comes out... then microsh@Is winblows is done | 06:35 |
| dmsuperman | [GG]Crimson, auto-complete will type the rest for you, when you hit the tab key for <TAB> | 06:35 |
| dlozarie | altho, as I mentioned earlier, the only reason I boot into Vista nowadays is because of my iPod (podcasts). | 06:36 |
| unavailable | lol | 06:36 |
| dmsuperman | dlozarie, no excuse | 06:36 |
| dmsuperman | dlozarie, you remove it now | 06:36 |
| dmsuperman | dlozarie, or face my wrath | 06:36 |
| [GG]Crimson | Ok thanks maybe I misspelled? I hope not, thats embarrassing =P | 06:36 |
| dmsuperman | dlozarie, at worst, XP should be installed | 06:36 |
| dlozarie | "welcome to amarok"..imma check this out first. | 06:36 |
| dmsuperman | [GG]Crimson, it happens to the best of us | 06:36 |
| xtermin8r | I dont want top flame, but ipods (and apple) are just a marketing lameness. | 06:36 |
| [GG]Crimson | sudo: /home/crimson/Desktop/hldsupdatetool.bin: command not found | 06:36 |
| [GG]Crimson | ah good I didnt misspell | 06:36 |
| dmsuperman | dlozarie, amaroK, exaile, songbird | 06:37 |
| * unavailable remembers winamp having some kind of ipod compat... wonder what would work for ub? | 06:37 | |
| dlozarie | I have amarok and banshee installed. Should i uninstall the latter? | 06:37 |
| dmsuperman | xtermin8r, I disagree, I'm certainly not one to fall into the trap of lame marketing. the ipods are a good product. apple makes good products, but they overprice them. | 06:37 |
| dmsuperman | dlozarie, up to you | 06:37 |
| bazhang | !ot | 06:37 |
| ubottu | #ubuntu is the Ubuntu support channel, #ubuntu+1 supports the development version of Ubuntu and #ubuntu-offtopic is for random chatter. Welcome! | 06:37 |
| switchcat | Okay, so the cuecat lit up upon reboot and it's blinking like I believe it's supposed to... but I have no clue if linux is recognizing it as a device of any kind | 06:37 |
| xbj9000 | lol ipods | 06:37 |
| [GG]Crimson | Oh dear I fixed it | 06:37 |
| bazhang | take chit chat to #ubuntu-offtopic. Thanks. | 06:38 |
| dlozarie | hmm. what if I install iTunes on Ubuntu using Wine? | 06:38 |
| unavailable | no | 06:38 |
| unavailable | never | 06:38 |
| [GG]Crimson | thanks though dmsuperman | 06:38 |
| unavailable | too slow | 06:38 |
| dmsuperman | [GG]Crimson, alright, "sudo chmod +x /home/crimson/Desktop/hldsupdatetool.bin" then run it | 06:38 |
| dlozarie | hmm. should we go to #ubuntu-offtopic. | 06:38 |
| Ashex | anyone get wine 1.0 through hardy-backports? | 06:38 |
| dlozarie | hey guys will Wine still work without Windows installed? | 06:38 |
| bazhang | !appdb | dlozarie see here if itunes works | 06:38 |
| ubottu | dlozarie see here if itunes works: The Wine Application DB is a database of applications and help for !Windows programs that run under !WINE: http://appdb.winehq.org | 06:38 |
| dmsuperman | dlozarie, wine doesn't make use of windows at all | 06:38 |
| Zoem | Ashex, you can get wine direct from their own repositories | 06:38 |
| [GG]Crimson | yeah lol once I did cd ~/Desktop chmod +x hldsupdatetool.bin worked | 06:38 |
| dmsuperman | dlozarie, it provides a compatability layer for windows apps | 06:38 |
| Ashex | Zoem, I know, but it should be in backports | 06:39 |
| siavash_ | unavailable, that fixed the clearweather screenlet from appearing but still my normal weather widget doesnt' show up | 06:39 |
| unavailable | !wine > unavailable | 06:39 |
| Zoem | dlozarie, yes, wine works fine without windows | 06:39 |
| dlozarie | @dmsuperman, oh, I see. I just figured 'coz it says "search C: drive". | 06:39 |
| Ashex | I'm not seeing it, needed another person to check before I hit up the maintainer | 06:39 |
| dmsuperman | dlozarie, but amaroK, gtk-pod, and others work with ipods. no need for itunes | 06:39 |
| dlozarie | okay say I downloaded the iTunes installer onto Ubuntu.. I just run the installer and wine does the rest? | 06:39 |
| unavailable | siavash_ you have it on autostart? | 06:39 |
| ajhtiredwolf | hey i read on phoronix.com that the radeon 4850 already has linux support, anyone know if it just runs or can actually take advantage of the 3d desktop and what not? Trying to decide waht video card to buy | 06:39 |
| dmsuperman | dlozarie, it means the wine c: drive...I think it's located at like ~/.wine/c/ something like that | 06:39 |
| dmsuperman | dlozarie, it tricks apps into think there's a c: drive | 06:39 |
| Flannel | ~/.wine/drive_c/ I believe | 06:39 |
| siavash_ | unavailable, of course! i wonder if there's something i can do in sessions | 06:40 |
| dmsuperman | yeah that one | 06:40 |
| error404notfound | I have a file /etc/custom/.search_http. It contains one string per line such as "abc.def". What I am doing is locate $(cat /etc/custom/.search_http). Problem is that it returns results that like zxyabc.def and abc.defghi as well... | 06:40 |
| dlozarie | @dmsuperman, oh okay. turns out amarok doesn't support podcast subscriptions? googling online alternatives for podasts. | 06:40 |
| dlozarie | *podcasts | 06:40 |
| dmsuperman | oh, hrm | 06:40 |
| Ashex | so, I take it everyone just added wine repos instead of waiting for backports? | 06:40 |
| unavailable | soavash_ maybe... | 06:40 |
| dmsuperman | I avoid wine | 06:41 |
| dmsuperman | Don't even have it installed atm | 06:41 |
| dmsuperman | usually better to find an alternative | 06:41 |
| dlozarie | *shocked face* iTunes no worky in wine! | 06:41 |
| Flannel | Ashex: WineHQ does a pretty good job of packaging, so yeah, I think most wine users do | 06:41 |
| Ashex | dmsuperman, do you have backports? | 06:41 |
| unavailable | rofl | 06:41 |
| xbj9000 | yeah I can always find a linux alternative without wine | 06:41 |
| Ashex | I just need someone to type apt-cache policy wine | 06:41 |
| NetEcho | if I use the entire harddrive with guided partitioning does Ubuntu setup a swapfile? | 06:41 |
| Ashex | and tell me if the candidate says 1.0 or 0.9.59-0ubuntu5 | 06:41 |
| NetEcho | or swapspace | 06:41 |
| dmsuperman | wine: | 06:41 |
| dmsuperman | Installed: (none) | 06:41 |
| dmsuperman | Candidate: 0.9.46-0ubuntu1 | 06:41 |
| dmsuperman | Version table: | 06:41 |
| dmsuperman | 0.9.46-0ubuntu1 0 | 06:41 |
| cycom | NetEcho: afaik, yes. | 06:41 |
| FloodBot2 | dmsuperman: Please don't flood, use http://paste.ubuntu-nl.org to paste, don't use Enter as punctuation. | 06:41 |
| dmsuperman | 500 http://us.archive.ubuntu.com gutsy/universe Packages | 06:42 |
| xbj9000 | netecho I think so | 06:42 |
| Zoem | hi, I have an nvidia 9600gt and need to install the nvidia binary driver. when I run the installer, though, it does not seem to work. any suggestions? | 06:42 |
| NetEcho | good | 06:42 |
| bazhang | !paste | 06:42 |
| 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) | 06:42 |
| DistroJockey | NetEcho, yep | 06:42 |
| dlozarie | :( looks like Vista's gonna remain on my lappy. | 06:42 |
| xbj9000 | but I dislike the auto partition scheme | 06:42 |
| Flannel | NetEcho: swap partition I believe | 06:42 |
| NetEcho | xbj9000 why? | 06:42 |
| Ashex | well, poo | 06:42 |
| dlozarie | plus one time I used banshee to manage my iPod music and it disarranged my album art. | 06:42 |
| xbj9000 | netecho as I remember, it basically just splits the drive in half with half root and half /home | 06:42 |
| NetEcho | :o really? | 06:43 |
| NetEcho | wow | 06:43 |
| cycom | I don't think so.... | 06:43 |
| NetEcho | I usualy keep home on the same partition as everything else except swap | 06:43 |
| cycom | the new partitioner does all files in root, and then 2x ram for swap or something | 06:43 |
| xbj9000 | netecho it should be fine, I'm not sure how it will try to partition you, but it may be worth learning about partition schemes | 06:43 |
| NetEcho | xbj9000 I'll just do manual | 06:43 |
| cycom | maybe 3x ram | 06:43 |
| xbj9000 | netecho keeping /home and /usr in their own partitions is a good idea for backing up data and keeping your stuff separated | 06:44 |
| NetEcho | I usualy just do 4096 as a swapfile | 06:44 |
| cycom | my laptop has a 100gb drive, and 3gb is swap, the rest is root. 1gb of ram | 06:44 |
| mike4263 | whats a good size for the swap, I have 2gb of ram | 06:44 |
| NetEcho | 3x ram would be 12288 | 06:44 |
| xbj9000 | netecho that's a lot of swap | 06:44 |
| === tdoggette_ is now known as tdoggette | ||
| dmsuperman | 512k swap ftw | 06:44 |
| Flannel | mike4263: Do you plan on hibernating? | 06:44 |
| siavash_ | 3x ram?! | 06:44 |
| cycom | mike4263: 4gb, I'd say | 06:44 |
| dmsuperman | from what I've been told, 2x ram, max 2gb | 06:44 |
| mike4263 | Flannel yes | 06:44 |
| Zoem | hi, I have an nvidia 9600gt and need to install the nvidia binary driver. when I run the installer, though, it does not seem to work. any suggestions? | 06:44 |
| NetEcho | I've almost always used a 4gb swapfile | 06:44 |
| Zoem | 3x ram?!? I need an 18gb swap? | 06:44 |
| cabrioleur | mike4263: it used to be 2x ram + 25 mb (or so) | 06:45 |
| NetEcho | I don't really see any reason not to | 06:45 |
| dmsuperman | I've never even maxed out my ram. my swap has literally never been used | 06:45 |
| Flannel | mike4263: If you plan on hibernating, you need *at least* as much swap as RAM. 2x for you would be a bit much. So, I'd go like 2.5G or something | 06:45 |
| DistroJockey | RAM size + 512MB is plenty | 06:45 |
| xbj9000 | if you have more than 1GB ram, swap is not that important and you only need like 128mb | 06:45 |
| NetEcho | dmsuperman how much ram and what kind of system? | 06:45 |
| Zoem | dmsuperman, I maxed it out once. calculating all primes less than 2 billion using a seive :) | 06:45 |
| dmsuperman | NetEcho, a desktop system, 2gb | 06:45 |
| dmsuperman | Zoem, heh | 06:45 |
| NetEcho | what kinda cpu/ram? | 06:45 |
| dmsuperman | NetEcho, a power user desktop system though | 06:45 |
| dmsuperman | NetEcho, 3.0 GHz E8400, OCZ DDR 2 800MHz ram | 06:46 |
| xbj9000 | netecho I have 2GB and I almost never use even 2mb of the swap space | 06:46 |
| NetEcho | do you know if the Core Duo uses DDR2 or DDR1? | 06:46 |
| dmsuperman | ... | 06:46 |
| ikasa4 | does anyone knows how to accelerate internet access on a small network? | 06:46 |
| NetEcho | oh wait its this PC that has 4gb of ram | 06:46 |
| NetEcho | I think the laptop only has 1 | 06:46 |
| dmsuperman | Core Duo is a processor, DDR1/2 is ram | 06:46 |
| NetEcho | dmsuperman but the boards require a certain type | 06:46 |
| Zoem | ikasa4, stop using internet on the other computers? | 06:47 |
| dmsuperman | NetEcho, so it's up to the board, no the processor | 06:47 |
| xbj9000 | netecho if you have 1gb ram I would only make about 512mb swap | 06:47 |
| NetEcho | I forget if it was as of the Core Duo or the Core 2 that intel switched to DDR2 | 06:47 |
| dmsuperman | NetEcho, I would imagine most boards use DDR2, and now DDR3 | 06:47 |
| YeaSt | Sun Jun 22 02:47:20 ADT 2008 | 06:47 |
| dlozarie | :heard a 4GB-of-ram PC being mentioned, is drooling | 06:47 |
| xbj9000 | I wouldn't do more than 1gb | 06:47 |
| dmsuperman | NetEcho, but it's really up to the board | 06:47 |
| ikasa4 | what does its mean? | 06:47 |
| dmsuperman | dlozarie, any more than 2gb is a waste unless you have special needs | 06:47 |
| DistroJockey | xbj9000, what if you want to hibernate? | 06:47 |
| dlozarie | altho on 1.5 GB of RAM, Ubuntu works spanking fine. great boot times. | 06:47 |
| NetEcho | dmsuperman whichever CPU started the DDR2 switchover I've only seen like 1 board that can do DDR1 | 06:47 |
| ikasa4 | zoem, what do you mean? | 06:47 |
| dmsuperman | NetEcho, it was pretty much the whole intel dual core movement that came about the same time as DDR2 | 06:48 |
| dlozarie | @dmsuperman, agreed. But wouldn't 4GB of ram make your 'puter boot in like three seconds? | 06:48 |
| xbj9000 | I'm sorry he did say it was a laptop, didn't he | 06:48 |
| dmsuperman | NetEcho, there are still boards today that use DDR1 | 06:48 |
| dmsuperman | dlozarie, no, that's hard drive | 06:48 |
| NetEcho | dlozarie yea 4gb on this system here :D | 06:48 |
| pronto | why hello there i are here :) | 06:48 |
| xbj9000 | but I believe to hibernate you still only need 1x your ram | 06:48 |
| dmsuperman | dlozarie, faster hard drives make the system boot faster. Once you get past 512/1gb of ram, your system doesn't boot any faster really | 06:48 |
| Zoem | ikasa4, your internet speed will be determined by how much you pay for, how much is being used in your neighborhood, and how much is being used on your line | 06:48 |
| NetEcho | dlozarie and no that much ram just helps with my gaming | 06:48 |
| Zoem | ikasa4, you only have control over the last one right now, so cut down usage on other computers | 06:49 |
| dmsuperman | NetEcho, again, unless you have special needs (and gaming _isn't_ one of them) +2gb of ram is just unnecesary | 06:49 |
| unavailable | io-apic?? anyone know the fix? | 06:49 |
| dmsuperman | 3d rendering could use it | 06:49 |
| Zoem | hi, I have an nvidia 9600gt and need to install the nvidia binary driver. when I run the installer, though, it does not seem to work. any suggestions? | 06:49 |
| ikasa4 | ooooooohhhh i see | 06:49 |
| dmsuperman | i have yet to find a game that honestly truly uses that much ram | 06:49 |
| ikasa4 | thanks | 06:49 |
| NetEcho | dmsuperman with some games more then 2gb makes a huge difference | 06:49 |
| siavash_ | PS on a VM eats your ram! | 06:49 |
| dmsuperman | NetEcho, such as what | 06:49 |
| Zoem | ikasa4, no problem;) | 06:50 |
| unavailable | xp on a vm | 06:50 |
| syu | hello | 06:50 |
| siavash_ | can you change the size of your swap? | 06:50 |
| NetEcho | off the top of my head Company of Heroes is one of them | 06:50 |
| amenado | siavash_-> yes, you can add | 06:50 |
| NetEcho | I know most of them over 2gb doesn't make a difference | 06:50 |
| dmsuperman | unavailable, I have XP running in a VM, plus all my other apps on my desktop, and i've never come close to using 2gb | 06:50 |
| Flannel | siavash_: you can add/remove/whatever to your swap, yep. | 06:50 |
| dlozarie | hmmm. I don't game so much anymore. Just a little GIMPing and then blogging and then plurking. | 06:50 |
| NetEcho | but with 4gb I just make XP use ram for the kernel while using the pagefile for everything else | 06:50 |
| unavailable | lol | 06:50 |
| dlozarie | hmm. let me try something out. | 06:50 |
| dlozarie | !ot | dlozarie | 06:51 |
| unavailable | i got 512 :( | 06:51 |
| NetEcho | plus a 4gb kit only cost me like $50 | 06:51 |
| dlozarie | doh! what the heck? | 06:51 |
| dmsuperman | NetEcho, that's foolish, the pagefile serves no point if you have that much ram | 06:51 |
| siavash_ | Flannel: through parted? | 06:51 |
| dmsuperman | NetEcho, all you're doing is slowing things down like that, and grinding your drives | 06:51 |
| NetEcho | dmsuperman actually its a flaw of windows if you disable the pagefile it gets crappy | 06:51 |
| unavailable | and i can only go up to 2gb | 06:51 |
| NetEcho | and the pagefile is on its own drive anyway | 06:51 |
| dmsuperman | NetEcho, I've never had pagefile enabled and it runs great | 06:51 |
| unavailable | unless they make a pair go to 4 | 06:51 |
| amenado | NetEcho-> are you using 64bit? | 06:51 |
| Flannel | siavash_: If you want a swap partition, yeah, you'll need to change your partitioning. If you just want a swap file, you can doo that too. | 06:51 |
| dlozarie | okay, another question: if you run Ubuntu and Ubuntu only on your 'puter, will your hard drive ever crash? | 06:51 |
| Flannel | !swap | siavash_ | 06:52 |
| ubottu | siavash_: 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 | 06:52 |
| dmsuperman | NetEcho, and again, hard drive is many times slower than ram | 06:52 |
| NetEcho | dmsuperman microsoft has even admited to the pagefile issues | 06:52 |
| xbj9000 | netecho, unless it is a laptop and you plan to hibernate it, you need very little swap for that much ram, and in fact you can skip swap entirely | 06:52 |
| dmsuperman | dlozarie, of course. hard drive failure has nothing to do with OS | 06:52 |
| NetEcho | xbj9000 1gb of ram on the laptop | 06:52 |
| amenado | dlozarie-> yes its a possibility, nothing is impossible | 06:52 |
| dmsuperman | NetEcho, like I said, I've never enabled pagefile on any machine and it's never had issues | 06:52 |
| unavailable | dlozarie depends on many factors, if you drop the pc out the window, chances are the hdd will crash | 06:52 |
| dlozarie | @dmsuperman, oh, okay! | 06:52 |
| dlozarie | @unavailable, of course it'll crash. lol | 06:52 |
| NetEcho | dmsuperman it can cause a lot of application issues | 06:52 |
| dmsuperman | dlozarie, it's not "if" a drive will crash, it's when | 06:52 |
| siavash_ | Flannel, i just want to increase the swap size to reflect the extra ram i put in recently | 06:52 |
| parkerc | Swap is always useful | 06:52 |
| NetEcho | I've had plenty of issues doing that | 06:52 |
| NetEcho | as for my HDDs I've never had one die on me in 12 years | 06:53 |
| dlozarie | but on Ubuntu you don't have to do all the crazy sh** Windows Users have to do like defrag, etc. right? | 06:53 |
| dmsuperman | parkerc, it's useful if you don't have enough ram, but when you have 4gb swap is pointless | 06:53 |
| xbj9000 | netecho I believe you only need 1x ram for hibernate, and any other time you actually want to try to avoid using swap because it's slower, so I would go with maybe just a few MB more swap than ram | 06:53 |
| Flannel | siavash_: Yeah, liveCD, and just expand the parititon. You won't need to change your fstab (unless you change which partition it is) | 06:53 |
| Zoem | I have an nvidia 9600gt and need to install the nvidia binary driver. when I run the installer, though, it does not seem to work. any suggestions? | 06:53 |
| unavailable | netecho youve never had a mad wife then | 06:53 |
| rambo123 | hello ,i am new to ubuntu ,what is equivalent to alsaconf ? | 06:53 |
| bazhang | !ext3 | dlozarie | 06:53 |
| ubottu | dlozarie: 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 | 06:53 |
| NetEcho | I usualy buy a new one to get rid of the old one because its too small | 06:53 |
| amenado | NetEcho-> you never owned ibm deskstar hd? hehe | 06:53 |
| dmsuperman | dlozarie, also, irrelevant pertaining to OS. that's the filesystem | 06:53 |
| NetEcho | xbj9000 1048 then? | 06:53 |
| dmsuperman | dlozarie, iirc, ext3 may still get fragmented just like ntfs | 06:54 |
| parkerc | xbj9000, I have a lot of ram, and I always manage to find my swap space useful | 06:54 |
| unavailable | netecho that doesnt protect against a wife with the rage and boots on.... | 06:54 |
| NetEcho | amenado I buy quality HDDs lol | 06:54 |
| dlozarie | ah, I see. so how do I defrag then? :D | 06:54 |
| wuxia | how do I play real player files on ubuntu?> | 06:54 |
| NetEcho | unavailable my women aren't allowed near this puppy | 06:54 |
| unavailable | lol | 06:54 |
| dmsuperman | dlozarie, not sure, tbh, never needed to haha | 06:54 |
| Flannel | dlozarie: ext3 doesn't need defragging | 06:54 |
| bazhang | dlozarie, ext3 needs no defrag | 06:54 |
| NetEcho | they know I'd shoot them if they layed a finger on it | 06:54 |
| four-o-four|dead | hi, I have more than 1 ubuntu as different os s on my lt | 06:54 |
| dmsuperman | then there you have it, i was wrong :D | 06:54 |
| xbj9000 | yeah netecho | 06:54 |
| four-o-four|dead | after booting 1 of them, the other one, has problems with sound | 06:54 |
| bazhang | NetEcho, please take chat elsewhere | 06:54 |
| rambo123 | i ahve two soud cards and i want ubuntu to use particular one,like i do alsaconf in suse ? | 06:55 |
| xbj9000 | parkerc, that may depend on what you do, I copy DVDs and still no swap usage really | 06:55 |
| criley27 | hi | 06:55 |
| * unavailable updating to backports :s | 06:55 | |
| rambo123 | s/ahve/have | 06:55 |

| NetEcho | bazhang sorry it was a hybrid chat between ubuntu swapfile and other things | 06:55 |
| four-o-four|dead | any idea? | 06:55 |
| NetEcho | back on topic it is | 06:55 |
| bazhang | NetEcho, thanks | 06:55 |
| NetEcho | no problem | 06:55 |
| xbj9000 | in any case, 1gb swap should be plenty for just about anyone, netecho | 06:55 |
| dmsuperman | i think we deserve cake | 06:55 |
| ayok | woi | 06:55 |
| NetEcho | xbj9000 I'll try the 1048 out and see if it causes any issues for me | 06:55 |
| dlozarie | bazhang, yay! no defragging! woohoo. imma back up my system then upload the backup to a-drive now. | 06:56 |
| dmsuperman | dlozarie, :D | 06:56 |
| * unavailable finds yet another kernel out | 06:56 | |
| xbj9000 | netecho you can also split that into several small swap spaces on different drives for greater speed | 06:56 |
| NetEcho | but one nice thing is I got the 7200rpm drive for the lappy instead of the 5400(not sure of actual speed) drive | 06:56 |
| dlozarie | @dmsuperman, right back atcha -> :D | 06:56 |

| cycom | userone: irssi. | 06:56 |
| dmsuperman | userone, what are you using now? | 06:56 |
| cycom | userone: screen + irssi = epic win. | 06:57 |
| dmsuperman | userone, irssi, XChat | 06:57 |
| unavailable | userone i use chatzilla frm mozilla | 06:57 |
| xbj9000 | oh right, well splitting into various partitions is also something to consider | 06:57 |
| Zoem | userone I like xchat for the various scripting languages it supports | 06:57 |
| dmsuperman | userone, or chatzilla...*coughs* | 06:57 |
| userone | I am using nothing, cause nothing works. | 06:57 |

| dmsuperman | bye guys | 06:58 |
| mock | hi | 06:58 |
| xbj9000 | netecho the physical location of swap on the platter can make a difference, I usually have one swap area near the middle of the partition table and one at the end, so the heads are likely to be close to some swap at any given moment | 06:58 |
| dlozarie | I hate how simple backup doesn't provide you an option to stop an ongoing backup. | 06:58 |
| userone | also tried mirc on xp an faild too. | 06:58 |
| NetEcho | xbj9000 however since in september when I return to work I should be getting a new laptop I don't see any reason to leave a windows partition on this one now | 06:59 |

| Flannel | NetEcho: ext3 is a great default/generic filesystem. There are others that perform better under certain tasks though. | 07:01 |
| cabrioleur | still_here: you don't. It's a library. It might be required for certain software, and that's all it can do. | 07:01 |

| freescroll | netecho: i dont have permission | 07:05 |
| [dmsuperman] | freescroll, in your shared folders dialog, share it using samba | 07:05 |
| bazhang | freescroll, best to ask about vista in ##windows | 07:05 |
| NetEcho | freescroll: do sudo nautilus and navigate to the folder | 07:05 |
| NetEcho | then try | 07:05 |
| freescroll | netecho: and i've tried sudo nautilus and i can share, but it doesnt stay shared | 07:05 |
| NetEcho | I had the same issue freescroll | 07:05 |
| Zoem | cabrioleur, is there an ubuntu tool which installs the nvidia 173.08 or higher drivers? and there are no errors, when I restart x afterwards, the screen refresh rate is wrong and the failsafe dialog pops up | 07:05 |
| [dmsuperman] | freescroll, share the folder, then in windows do \\YOURIP and it'll list the folder you shared | 07:05 |

| Zoem | [dmsuperman], but 169 does not support 9600gt | 07:06 |
| [dmsuperman] | Zoem, last night the latest they gave me was 173.14 | 07:06 |
| Flannel | rsa_md5: Sure there is. Just have to upgrade 7.04 to 7.10, then 7.10 to 8.04 | 07:06 |
| freescroll | NetEcho: what's odd? | 07:07 |
| NetEcho | freescroll the fact that it keeps unsharing | 07:07 |
| xbj9000 | bluefoxx are your keys normal outside of terminal? | 07:07 |
| freescroll | netecho yeah, i'm going nuts | 07:07 |
| rsa_md5 | Flannel, actually wanted to know if there is anything else I could do without that :D | 07:07 |
| cabrioleur | Zoem, did you do nvidia-xconfig? | 07:07 |
| NetEcho | freescroll can you share a folder off vista and just copy files to it from ubuntu? | 07:07 |
| komputer12 | hallouwoooooo | 07:07 |
| bluefoxx | xbj9000; cant get out of it, its why i need the / key: to burn a new 8.04 disk in wodim | 07:07 |
| freescroll | netecho, no | 07:07 |
| NetEcho | that may be your only option until a fix is found | 07:07 |
| Flannel | rsa_md5: Not with an upgrade path, no. You could just install Hardy. But thats not nearly as convienent | 07:07 |
| [dmsuperman] | cabrioleur, 169.12 doesn't support it | 07:08 |
| NetEcho | anyway I'll be back shortly | 07:08 |
| dlozarie | @NetEcho, I don't know about you but I can access my Vista folders from within Ubuntu easily. | 07:08 |
| NetEcho | dlozarie I don't use vista so I wouldn't know | 07:08 |
| Zoem | cabrioleur, that tends to load the xorg.conf with really bad stuff (I have it working on another comp). I manually changed the xorg.conf driver to "nvidia" | 07:08 |

| xbj9000 | bluefoxx it may be the setting in /etc/fstab for keyboard, it should be pc104 (assuming you are in the US) | 07:09 |

| NetEcho | freescroll make sure you create the folder as the user not as sudo | 07:09 |

| NetEcho | WindowsSux you see that little box that says enabled... put a checkmark | 07:10 |
| WindowsSux | NetEcho - it works that way however ...every time..I reboot..i need to do that...or else it doesnt work | 07:10 |

| Ayabara | any good alternatives to irssi and xchat? | 07:10 |
| Zoem | cabrioleur, usually the nvidia splash screen shows up if the drivers are loaded, and I have yet to see it | 07:10 |
| NetEcho | freescroll weird | 07:10 |
| Dr_Willis | Ayabara, depends on your needs. I perfer xchat even under windows. :) | 07:10 |
| xbj9000 | bluefoxx I said /etc/fstab lol I meant /etc/X11/xorg.conf | 07:10 |
| [dmsuperman] | Ayabara, honestly, if you can't find what you're looking for in them I have no idea what you want | 07:10 |
| Flannel | bluefoxx: You'd have to type cd and then start typing a directory, of course. | 07:10 |
| xbj9000 | :p | 07:10 |
| [dmsuperman] | Ayabara, agree with Dr_Willis, XChat is amazing and irssi is also quite good | 07:11 |
| WindowsSux | any more parmanent solution which will keep the settings | 07:11 |
| Boz0 | hi | 07:11 |
| Dr_Willis | Problem with Xchat, is that over the years. they have been taking more and more features out of it. | 07:11 |
| freescroll | NetEcho: http://pastebin.org/45292 | 07:11 |
| freescroll | this is what i get when i exit sudo nautilus screen | 07:11 |
| Boz0 | does ubuntu 8.04 support gefroce 7600gs without any lines on X? | 07:11 |
| [dmsuperman] | freescroll, you should do gksu nautilus, not sudo | 07:12 |
| Flannel | freescroll: You should always use gksu with graphical programs | 07:12 |
| Dr_Willis | Running nautilus as root is not a good idea. :) you can easially goof things up. | 07:12 |
| cabrioleur | Zoem: you can check it with glxinfo | grep 'server glx vendor' | 07:12 |
| xbj9000 | bluefoxx /etc/X11/xorg.conf is also probably where you'll fix your graphics, and probably whatever happened to change the keyboard type is also what broke the driver | 07:12 |
| WindowsSux | anyone? | 07:12 |
| Zoem | cabrioleur, one second please | 07:13 |
| Mo0oSaH | I have conky on startup and everytime I restart I need to killall conky and open it again for it to show weather... what could be wrong | 07:13 |

| [dmsuperman] | openoffice.org ftw | 07:13 |
| Ayabara | Dr_Willis, [dmsuperman]: I hear you :-). I actually like irssi best, but I use xchat because I haven't found a way that irssi can notify me about new messages like the xchat icon in the tray does. osd.pl does it when I'm at my computer, but I also want it to show if someone said something while I was afk | 07:13 |
| Dr_Willis | WindowsSux, dependng on the exact chipset of your sireless card. theres several forum/wiki articals on the topic. | 07:13 |
| freescroll | flannel, dmsuperman... thanks | 07:13 |
| [dmsuperman] | Ayabara, I know what you mean...I've always wanted a way to see if somebody called my name. I've resorted to logging chats in xchat, with a grep for my name nightly deleting all unimportant lines | 07:14 |
| Zoem | Mo0oSaH, I had problems like that with conky... I started using the sysinfo screenlet and it worked a lot better | 07:14 |

| Flannel | Ayabara: http://pthree.org/2007/03/21/irssi-gui-notify/ and http://pthree.org/2007/03/22/irssi-gui-notify-the-bash-script/ | 07:15 |
| dlozarie | openoffice.org is the way to go, but I read something on lifehacker was it that openoffice is getting slower and slower with every release? | 07:15 |
| Flannel | dmsuperman: You know irssi does that (almost) by default, right? | 07:15 |
| dmsuperman | Flannel, got a handy url for xchat? :D | 07:15 |
| Dr_Willis | WindowsSux, go to the ubuntu forums and search for the exact chipset. I had to use the ndiswrapper stuff for my broadcomn 4310 card. | 07:16 |
| dmsuperman | Flannel, I prefer XChat :D | 07:16 |
| Zoem | Mo0oSaH, www.screenlets.org | 07:16 |
| Flannel | dmsuperman: Nah, I just remember reading those posts on the planet. Xchat what, GUI notifications? | 07:16 |
| Dr_Willis | xchat.org for all your xchat needs :) | 07:16 |
| dmsuperman | Flannel, yeah. notifications are when it tells me somebody mentions my name right | 07:16 |
| diyes | hi, can anyone help me with sign/encrypt files? | 07:16 |
| cabrioleur | diyes: sure | 07:17 |
| dmsuperman | Dr_Willis, I looked, I either didn't find it or didn't know what I was looking for | 07:17 |
| Chapai | when i use totem movie player the video becomes pixilated , how do i fix this | 07:17 |
| xbj9000 | dmsuperman I have xchat and it blinks when someone says my name | 07:17 |
| dmsuperman | Flannel, I just want a way that when I'm gone I can come back and see what somebody wrote using my name | 07:17 |
| Chapai | diyes whats the problem i use seahorse | 07:17 |
| diyes | can you sign/encrpyt folders? | 07:17 |
| dmsuperman | xbj9000, me too, but if I'm gone there's no way of knowing what they said since I come back and the message has long since scrolled past the page | 07:17 |
| WindowsSux | Dr_willis - can you point me to some? | 07:17 |
| WindowsSux | Dr_willis - I am using broadcom B43 - my notebook is - Compaq Presario V3222AU | 07:17 |
| Dr_Willis | dmsuperman, not sure what you are looking for exactly. | 07:17 |
| xbj9000 | oh the cutoff limit, right | 07:18 |
| xboxman | Is there anyone out there that can help me with my SSH problem? | 07:18 |
| Chapai | yes you can, diyes, what version of ubuntu are you using | 07:18 |
| Dr_Willis | WindowsSux, broadcom43 is not the EXACT chipset, look at the 'lspci' command output. | 07:18 |
| Mo0oSaH | Zoem: their website = down :( | 07:18 |
| Neil3 | diyes, yes in a way you can but ubuntu compresses them into an archive and then signs/encrypts the archive | 07:18 |
| dmsuperman | Dr_Willis, a way for xchat to tell me whenever somebody mentions my name, in another window. currently, it highlights the sentence in red, but if i leave and come back i never get to see what they said | 07:18 |
| cabrioleur | diyes: no, but you can create a tar or something like it, and encrypt that. | 07:18 |
| Chapai | xboxman, state the prblem with ssh | 07:19 |
| Ayabara | Flannel, thanks. | 07:19 |
| Chapai | when i use totem movie player the video becomes pixilated , how do i fix this | 07:19 |
| legend2440 | WindowsSux: http://penkin.wordpress.com/2008/03/28/ubuntu-804-broadcom-wireless/ | 07:19 |
| diyes | hardy h. but if i click on encrpyt, i don't see any items on my list. do i need to install something first? | 07:19 |
| xboxman | i can connect with local ip but not with external ip | 07:19 |
| Neil3 | you need to generate your key first | 07:19 |
| dlozarie | oh, iTunes *does* work with Wine. | 07:19 |
| Chapai | have you created a key diyes | 07:19 |
| xboxman | ahah how does one go about doing that >< | 07:19 |
| dlozarie | so does limewire, lol. | 07:19 |
| Dr_Willis | dmsuperman, theres proberly some scripts that do that. given how scriptable it is.. I recall seeing some that put all msg, and lines with your nick in them, in their own window. But i never used it. | 07:19 |
| dmsuperman | dlozarie, don't turn to the dark side! | 07:19 |
| xbj9000 | lol limewire | 07:19 |
| ronin12345 | what needs to be set in xorg.conf to get tv out working? Displays the boot info to the tv then as soon as ubuntu loads it dies. ATI X1250 running the latest drivers. | 07:19 |
| diyes | i think i did. i removed it again when i noticed i didn't work | 07:19 |
| diyes | let me create one again | 07:20 |
| dmsuperman | Dr_Willis, that's what I want, but I couldn't find one | 07:20 |
| Chapai | you need to open ports on your router if you have one or firewall xboxman | 07:20 |
| xbj9000 | dlozarie try Frostwire for Linux, and gtk-gnutella | 07:20 |
| sbattey | ick hour 3 of fixing windows | 07:20 |
| cabrioleur | diyes: you _have_ to make pack it in a tar. | 07:20 |
| dlozarie | lol although to be perfectly honest, a sizeable number of people I know use limewire to download music, just because it's so hard to buy music online here. | 07:20 |
| cabrioleur | diyes: or other format of your choice. | 07:20 |
| xboxman | i opened the required ports (22), my webhost works on another computer so im pretty sure its not a router problem | 07:20 |
| dlozarie | can I get frostwire with add/remove applications? | 07:20 |
| Ayabara | I have xchat/deluge and irssi/rtorrent days, depending on how gui-ish I feel :-) | 07:20 |
| terrancekennedy | any one here used a Eee PC? | 07:20 |
| cabrioleur | terrancekennedy: yes | 07:21 |
| Chapai | do you use firewall xboxman | 07:21 |
| xbj9000 | dlozarie I don't think so but they have an ubuntu .deb package on their site | 07:21 |
| xboxman | no, i turned off all firewalls and stuff | 07:21 |
| Ziroday | Hi, some of my apps wont run because they complain that they cannot connect to my dbus session, however they run fine if run with sudo, why? | 07:21 |
| diyes | Chapai: sorry i'm new here. so when you say key, is it the same as Keyring | 07:21 |
| dmsuperman | xboxman, try port probing 22, make sure it's open | 07:21 |
| dlozarie | @xbj9000, okay. www.frostwire.com right? | 07:21 |
| xboxman | i even DMZ'ed my ubuntu computer just to try to work it | 07:21 |
| dlozarie | audacity looks cool. | 07:21 |
| dmsuperman | xboxman, your isp could block encrypted traffic, or port 22 | 07:21 |
| xbj9000 | you can get gtk-gnutella with Synaptic though | 07:21 |
| dmsuperman | xboxman, do you, by chance, have comcast? | 07:21 |
| Zoem | Mo0oSaH, oh. thats where I got it from :( | 07:21 |
| terrancekennedy | do you know of a good setup guide for a Eee PC? | 07:22 |
| xboxman | no | 07:22 |
| xboxman | i have Shaw Communications (Canada) | 07:22 |
| xboxman | they allow HTTP host so maybe they allow ssh? | 07:22 |
| Chapai | no, you need to create a pgp key, click application, accessories passwords and encryption keys diyes | 07:22 |
| xbj9000 | dlozarie I think that's the site yeah | 07:22 |
| Ziroday | terrancekennedy: look at the ubuntu eeepc wiki | 07:22 |
| Ayabara | I wonder if nautilus will support tabs / split view at some point | 07:22 |
| Zoem | cabrioleur, failed to initialize GLX extension (compatible NVIDIA X driver not found) | 07:22 |
| dlozarie | @xbj9000, kthx. | 07:22 |
| Mo0oSaH | Zoem: thanks for the link. I'll check it out later | 07:22 |
| Ziroday | Ayabara: it is planned | 07:22 |
| Zoem | cabrioleur, it seems the driver is just not being installed for some reason | 07:22 |
| still_here | anybody knows a good debugger? | 07:22 |
| ronin12345 | terrancekennedy: Go to eepcuser | 07:22 |
| dlozarie | yay! .deb! | 07:22 |
| xbj9000 | dlozarie I encourage you to not get in the habit of turning to windows apps in wine, you can almost always find a better app for linux | 07:23 |
| Neil3 | hey all just wondering, if i were to use the backports repository, does that mean it's not possible to upgrade when the next major ubuntu version (intrepid) is released? or will the packages be okay? | 07:23 |
| Chapai | diyes, keyring is a password management, when you open that app (seahorse) klick key an create new key | 07:23 |
| dmsuperman | Ayabara, just use another file manager, there's tons in existence | 07:23 |
| Flannel | Neil3: Backports work fine with upgrades | 07:23 |
| Neil3 | Flannel, fantastic :D | 07:23 |
| cabrioleur | Zoem: kernel driver? Try "sudo lsmod | nvidia" to see if it's loaded. | 07:23 |
| dlozarie | @xbj9000, that's why there's frostwire. lol ;) | 07:23 |
| Dr_Willis | I need to track down a decent 'photo printer' app however under linux. One that willlet the wife easially select a few pics and tell it 'print me 3, 3x5's laid out properly on the paper' | 07:24 |
| mynetdude | yeah I've been looking at equivilent apps in linux that either resemble or are the same app but for linux instead | 07:24 |
| dlozarie | yeah I'll only be using wine if I find that there is no absolute alternative to it. | 07:24 |
| xboxman | Okay, i probed my SSH port and it says its open | 07:24 |
| Ayabara | dmsuperman, I use krusader and gnome-commander. I want to use a gnomebased one, and I want it to look better than gnome-commander :-) | 07:24 |
| Dr_Willis | Theres dozens of the silly things out for windows.. but normally bundled with specific printers/scanner/other hardware. | 07:24 |
| xbj9000 | dlozarie I happen to have a Tango / Gnome theme for Frostwire if you want it | 07:24 |
| Ziroday | Dr_Willis: what were you using before? | 07:24 |
| Neil3 | this means i can get the latest wine installed on my parent's machine as i just converted them from the world of billy boy gates but my dad still needs to run a couple of specialist astronomical windows apps | 07:24 |
| Flannel | Neil3: However often times you don't want to leave backports enabled all the time, just enable it, install/upgrade a package, then disable it again. So something random doesn't sneak in without you being aware of it | 07:24 |
| Zoem | cabrioleur, it's not there | 07:24 |
| dmsuperman | xboxman, did you probe it from another ip, external to yours? | 07:24 |
| ronin12345 | What is the best file manger for linux something as powerful as directory opus? | 07:24 |
| xboxman | yes | 07:24 |
| cabrioleur | Zoem: sudo modprobe nvidia | 07:24 |
| dlozarie | @xbj9000, gimme gimme! :D | 07:24 |
| Ziroday | ronin12345: have a look at pcmanfm | 07:25 |
| Flannel | Neil3: You may want to use the winehq repository for wine. They do a pretty good job of it, and it'll be very much more up to date than the backports version | 07:25 |
| cabrioleur | Zoem: then log out and log in again. Should be o.k. | 07:25 |
| Dr_Willis | Ziroday, differnt apps under windows On the wifes laptop, mainly. | 07:25 |
| dmsuperman | Ayabara, I know what you mean. I don't much care for nautilus (slow, lacking features) but I haven't found a good alternative that both looks somewhat attractive like the rest of my desktop and has good features | 07:25 |
| Neil3 | Flannel, backports just got 1.0 too | 07:25 |
| ronin12345 | ziroday: okey will do | 07:25 |
| Dr_Willis | Ziroday, her printer even has a little lcd, and can do some of the tasks.. but each app has its own features she dosent like :) | 07:25 |
| dmsuperman | Ayabara, I tried most of the major ones...thunar was my favorite but still not good enough | 07:25 |
| Chapai | diyes, getting any where? | 07:25 |
| Ziroday | Dr_Willis: you can try digikam, fspot or even picasa | 07:25 |
| Neil3 | and 1.0 runs these apps pretty well now, better than .59 | 07:25 |
| xbj9000 | dlozarie http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=805337 | 07:25 |
| Dr_Willis | Yea been checking out picasa, i was thinking it was lacking somehting she liked in printing. | 07:26 |
| xbj9000 | dlozarie please comment in that thread if you like the theme, it took me hours :p | 07:26 |
| Ayabara | dmsuperman, total commander and media player classic are the only apps I miss from my windows-years | 07:26 |
| Neil3 | Flannel, I feel a lot better just sticking with the official ubuntu stuff if you know what i mean | 07:26 |
| dlozarie | xbj9000, okay. thanks! :D | 07:26 |
| Dr_Willis | she just wants to 'see' the layout of the paper, and drag/drop photos to it - I think she3s been using something from MS for it. | 07:26 |
| jrjxyz | My mouse, on a very old version of kubuntu, has stopped doing anything useful with left and right clicks. I can still move my mouse pointer (in the virt terminal that has X active) but not click on anything. What if anything can I do short of rebooting, or at least logging in / out? | 07:26 |
| diyes | chapai, i did it. so keyring is supposed to be different, i see. :) | 07:26 |
| Zoem | cabrioleur, Error running install command for nvidia. | 07:26 |
| Ziroday | Dr_Willis: ah for something like that then I'm not sure | 07:27 |
| dmsuperman | Ayabara, I was always a VLC guy, so since it's linux as well I don't miss it, and I never used total commander | 07:27 |
| dmsuperman | Ayabara, and by the time I heard about it, everything else was skinned and i was turned off by the (from waht I saw) ugly screenshots :P | 07:27 |
| dlozarie | xbj9000, after i download the .skin file I just execute it? | 07:27 |
| Ayabara | dmsuperman, :-) | 07:28 |
| Dr_Willis | Ziroday, yea - every printer maker, seems to have their own app to promote my wife to print MORE and MORE things.. so they can sell her more and more ink. :) | 07:28 |
| Ziroday | Dr_Willis: lol | 07:28 |
| Chapai | so can you encrypt now diyes | 07:28 |
| Zoem | cabrioleur, lsmod says /sbin/lrm-video: not found | 07:28 |
| GirlRiver | not specifically an Ubuntu issue .. can anyone help with an iptable issue or direct me to an iptable firum ? | 07:28 |
| dlozarie | weird, frostwire refuses to open. | 07:28 |
| Dr_Willis | Picasa has exactly 6 'photo' printout layouts.. | 07:28 |
| GirlRiver | firum = forum | 07:28 |
| Dr_Willis | she wants for exaple tobe able to pick a picture and print a 4x6, then as many wallets as will fit on the rest of the paper. | 07:28 |
| xbj9000 | dlozarie, move it into /home/username/.frostwire/themes/ | 07:28 |
| Zoem | cabrioleur, sorry, modprobe says that | 07:28 |
| xbj9000 | then it will show up in the Frostwire menus | 07:29 |
| dmsuperman | Ayabara, testing...say my name please | 07:29 |
| dlozarie | @xjb9000, okay. just have to get frostwire to start now. lol | 07:29 |
| Ziroday | Hi, some of my apps wont run because they complain that they cannot connect to my dbus session, however they run fine if run with sudo, why? | 07:29 |
| diyes | chapai, i was trying to put a password for a directory so that when one accesses this directory he has to type in a password before he can enter. i thought "sign" could do that. is there any other way? | 07:29 |
| dmsuperman | or anybody...somebody say my name if you wouldn't mind :D | 07:29 |
| dlozarie | dmsuperman :) | 07:29 |
| jrjxyz | dmsuperman | 07:29 |
| Ziroday | Dr_Willis: try searching the repos or try the programs I gave you beofer | 07:29 |
| Dr_Willis | Ziroday, yea. Picasa would be great if it had more printing options. | 07:30 |
| GirlRiver | dmsuperman: | 07:30 |
| Ayabara | dmsuperman, | 07:30 |
| dmsuperman | odd | 07:30 |
| dmsuperman | that one gives me an icon in the systray | 07:30 |
| dmsuperman | but no window | 07:30 |
| dmsuperman | gotta try another... | 07:30 |
| Ayabara | too late :-) | 07:30 |
| Dr_Willis | !find fspot | 07:30 |
| ubottu | File fspot found in elisa-plugins-bad, elisa-plugins-good, f-spot | 07:30 |
| dlozarie | hey, how come I can't find no /home/usr/.frostwire directory? | 07:31 |
| Dr_Willis | dlozarie, its /home/YOURUSERNAME/ | 07:31 |
| xboxman | eep, how do i make keys for my SSH? | 07:31 |
| dlozarie | @Dr_Willis, yes: /home/my_username. :) | 07:32 |
| dmsuperman | k, once more would somebody mind saying my name :D | 07:32 |
| Ayabara | dmsuperman, | 07:32 |
| dmsuperman | thanks :D | 07:32 |
| GirlRiver | can anyone assist with iptable rule configuration and to block a specific internal machine from specific external site | 07:32 |
| dlozarie | dmsupermaan! :D | 07:32 |
| xbj9000 | dlozarie did you find it? | 07:32 |
| Dr_Willis | dlozarie, frostwire is very picky about the java version it runs with. Try it fromthe terminal and look for error messages also. | 07:32 |
| dmsuperman | gnight guys | 07:32 |
| dlozarie | Dr_Willis, what command should I type in? | 07:32 |
| === dmsuperman is now known as [dmsuperman] | ||

| Sa[i]nT | What can I use for ubuntu that compares to 3dstudio? | 07:33 |
| Dr_Willis | dlozarie, i would guess frost<tab> :) for a start | 07:33 |
| dlozarie | unable to locate java. I see, I need to install java. lol | 07:33 |
| xbj9000 | sorry dlozarie I stepped away | 07:33 |
| xbj9000 | here I can tell you what you need to do hang on | 07:34 |
| dlozarie | iz okay, i found the problem, I need Java installed. | 07:34 |
| Sa[i]nT | Frostwire sux for linux. gtk-gnutella is much better. | 07:34 |
| orphean | Sa[i]nT: blender | 07:34 |
| n-iCe | how can I install a mac bar? | 07:34 |
| xbj9000 | dlozarie type this in a terminal: sudo apt-get install sun-java6-jre | 07:34 |
| Sa[i]nT | n-iCe, get awn | 07:34 |
| xbj9000 | dlozarie: then after that, sudo update-alternatives --config java | 07:35 |
| n-iCe | Sa[i]nT, ok | 07:35 |
| xbj9000 | dlozarie: and type the number that goes with the sun version of java | 07:35 |
| Ayabara | Flannel, is there a script that will do what you mentioned for irssi? take all the lines where someone mention my name and put it in an own "window"? | 07:36 |
| n-iCe | Sa[i]nT, awn-manager is ok? | 07:36 |
| dlozarie | xbj9000, okay. turns out I gotta wait ~12 mins for Java to download. says on the java website that the latest vsion is java 6 update 6. | 07:36 |
| xbj9000 | you're getting it from their website? | 07:36 |
| Sa[i]nT | n-iCe, I think that is same thing. Sure to have it in synaptic | 07:36 |
| dlozarie | xbj9000, nope, I'm using the terminal command you provided. | 07:36 |
| xbj9000 | ok good | 07:37 |
| n-iCe | Sa[i]nT, yeah, how do I open it? | 07:37 |
| Sa[i]nT | n-iCe, You using gnome? | 07:37 |
| Flannel | Ayabara: Well, they'll show up in the server window, yeah. | 07:37 |
| xbj9000 | dlozarie are you running 64bit Ubuntu by any chance? | 07:37 |
| Sa[i]nT | n-iCe, Applications > Accessories > Avant window Manager | 07:37 |
| dlozarie | xbj9000, uhm nope. | 07:37 |
| Ayabara | Flannel, that's good enough for me. remember the name of the script? | 07:37 |
| dlozarie | i386 | 07:37 |
| jrjxyz | what happens if I kill -HUP the process running Xorg? I lose all my open windows? | 07:38 |
| Flannel | Ayabara: I'm checking my scripts right now, but I think it's just built in. I have screen_away, but that just automates my away being set as far as I remember. | 07:38 |
| Masoumi | #firefox | 07:39 |
| n-iCe | Sa[i]nT, how can i active the bar to the desktop? | 07:39 |
| Flannel | Ayabara: http://www.irssi.org/documentation/startup#c8 | 07:39 |
| DistroJockey | n-iCe : get awn-manager and avant-window-navigator | 07:40 |
| Ayabara | Flannel, it seems it's fnotify that does it (asked in #irssi as well) | 07:40 |
| n-iCe | DistroJockey, both are already the newest version. | 07:40 |
| Dr_Willis | dlozarie, you are gettting java using the package manager? or downloading from the java website? | 07:40 |
| Jaffarkelshac | n-iCe: when you install avw-manager, run avant-windw-navigator in terminal or click avant window manager from panel | 07:41 |
| dlozarie | Dr_Willis, using terminal. | 07:41 |
| Dr_Willis | dlozarie, thats a good... vague answer. :) heh.. | 07:41 |
| n-iCe | Jaffarkelshac, and now? | 07:41 |
| dlozarie | oh, sry. lol. what I meant was that I used a terminal command to install java. ya know, sudo apt-get | 07:41 |
| DistroJockey | n-iCe, ahh, k. the window navigator link should be in Applications - Accessories as Sa[i]nT mentioned | 07:41 |
| n-iCe | DistroJockey, i know it opened a bar settings options | 07:42 |
| n-iCe | but how can i show the bar? | 07:42 |
| dlozarie | hey, how do I fix the firefox-closes-when-gmail-tab-closes phenomenon? | 07:42 |
| Iggey | Yo im a newbie i got kubuntu 8.04, im having troubles with my linksys wmp54gs wireless PCI card... not working at all | 07:42 |
| Jaffarkelshac | and now what, have you installed it? its not in the panel as DistroJockey suggested refresh the panel. killall gnome-panel that should refresh it | 07:42 |
| DistroJockey | Jaffarkelshac, it's not part of gnome-panel | 07:43 |
| n-iCe | what should I Do? | 07:43 |
| DistroJockey | n-iCe, it should display down the bottom of the screen when you run Avant Window Navigator | 07:43 |
| orphean | n-iCe: hit alt-f2 and type 'avant-window-navigator' to run it | 07:43 |
| Jaffarkelshac | when i install stuff sometimes it does not appear on the gnome-panel until logoff or killing gnome-panel DistroJockey | 07:44 |

| mynetdude | Does anybody know why I'm seeing little dashes randomly all over my screen? I'm guessing xorg doesn't like my ATI X700? | 07:47 |
| xbj9000 | refresh rate too high? | 07:48 |

| GirlRiver | i want to block an internal machine from using a range of external ip addresses, can anyone assist with the iptable rule configuration | 07:48 |
| mynetdude | xbj9000 well I think LCD default is 60Hz right? | 07:48 |
| Dr_Willis | still_here, theres the ubuntu training books, that you can get in pdf format for free. for a start | 07:48 |
| mynetdude | who needs a book, learn it online | 07:48 |
| xbj9000 | mynetdude I don't know | 07:49 |
| Ziroday | still_here: you can get the Official Ubuntu Book | 07:49 |
| mynetdude | I've seen tons of training stuff at bookstores though... they want $25!!! | 07:49 |
| still_here | Dr_Willis: where could i find a list for ubuntu training books? | 07:49 |
| Dr_Willis | still_here, i normally google for 'ubuntu training' and find the link to those books. | 07:49 |
| mynetdude | xbj9000 it started doing it a few hours ago, it didn't do it when it installed xorg drivers and even right after that it worked fine it was only till later this afternoon | 07:49 |
| still_here | Dr_willis: thanks | 07:50 |
| Dr_Willis | still_here, https://wiki.ubuntu.com/Training | 07:50 |
| xbj9000 | mynetdude did it start when you rebooted after doing some updates earlier that day? | 07:50 |
| tico | hello what kwifimanager are there any other good wireless managers? | 07:50 |
| mynetdude | xbj9000 I don't remember, I remember needing 15 updates today though | 07:50 |
| Sa[i]nT | n-iCe, Did you get it working? I had to go afk, sorry. | 07:50 |
| xbj9000 | because xorg updates won't take affect right away | 07:50 |
| Icomey | Can I disable all desktop effects when booting the live CD? | 07:51 |
| mynetdude | xbj9000 they all seemed to be linux, lib and stuff like that I would assume kernel updates which did require reboot | 07:51 |
| mynetdude | xbj9000 yeah true, I wished I could force it to check for xorg updates | 07:51 |
| Cheesypieces | hi guys, when looking at webpages scrolling is pretty jerky - any ideas how i can fix this? | 07:51 |
| xbj9000 | sorry mynetdude | 07:52 |
| mynetdude | xbj9000 seriously? wow... thats low... :( | 07:52 |
| Ziroday | Cheesypieces: enable smooth scroll? | 07:52 |
| m1ke_l | anyone seen a CRONTAB service running on proc space before? | 07:52 |
| xbj9000 | mynetdude: what? lol | 07:52 |
| still_here | Dr_willis: is it teaching how to learn about the kernel? | 07:52 |
| mynetdude | is there a google desktop for linux and how can I put a url address bar on my panels? | 07:52 |
| Cheesypieces | Ziroday: you're a genius! can't believe i didn't think of that | 07:53 |
| mynetdude | xbj9000 nvm... it just sucks you can't manually request it to look for updates concerning xorg | 07:53 |
| Cheesypieces | thanks | 07:53 |
| Dr_Willis | still_here, theres loads of kernel docs out.. and proberly some books in pdf format. but i dont mess with the kernel much. | 07:53 |
| GirlRiver | i want to block an internal machine from using a range of external ip addresses, can anyone assist with the iptable rule configuration ... can anyone point to to a place where I can find some expamles and I can (hopefully) work it out from there | 07:53 |
| wols | mynetdude: you can | 07:53 |
| Dr_Willis | still_here, check kernel.org would be the place to start. | 07:53 |
| Ziroday | mynetdude: yes there is a google desktop for linux, but I don't know if it has a sidebar | 07:53 |
| Ziroday | Cheesypieces: was that sarcasm? Im kinda slow this morning | 07:53 |
| xbj9000 | mynetdude look in /etc/X11/ for an older backup of xorg.conf | 07:53 |
| mynetdude | Cheesypieces, smooth scrolling is an option in all the browsers I'm aware of in both windows and linux ;) | 07:53 |
| Dr_Willis | Ziroday, google just released their google widget stuff for linux a few days ago. | 07:53 |
| still_here | Dr_Willis: great. thanks | 07:53 |
| Iggey | Hey does anyone know how to get the wireless PCI card linksys wmp54gs to work on ubuntu 8.04? | 07:54 |
| Ziroday | Dr_Willis: oh okay sweet | 07:54 |
| Dr_Willis | Ziroday, and it does have a sidebar.. it dosent work very well however. | 07:54 |
| wols | still_here: #kernelnewbies | 07:54 |
| xbj9000 | and check your current one for obvious errors / missing info | 07:54 |
| mynetdude | Ziroday, I don't want the sidebar, I just want to be able to index/search from the panel | 07:54 |
| wols | !wlan | Iggey | 07:54 |
| ubottu | Iggey: Wireless documentation can be found at https://help.ubuntu.com/community/WifiDocs | 07:54 |
| dlozarie | had to exit terminal coz it looked screwed up, now I can't reinstall java. | 07:54 |
| Cheesypieces | Ziroday: nope, i geniunely hadn't even considered it | 07:54 |
| Ziroday | Cheesypieces: oh goody | 07:54 |
| dlozarie | " Unable to lock the administration directory (/var/lib/dpkg/), is another process using it?" | 07:54 |
| dlozarie | what does that mean? | 07:54 |
| Ziroday | mynetdude: why dont you use tracker | 07:54 |
| still_here | wols: people in there do not response.. hehe | 07:54 |
| m1ke_l | dlozarie: means apt-get or package manager is running and you are trying to start a second compy | 07:55 |
| m1ke_l | copy | 07:55 |
| xbj9000 | dlozarie you can only use one package installer at a time, do you have Synaptic or Add/Remove running? | 07:55 |
| Ziroday | dlozarie: it means you tried to install something, whilst something else was installing | 07:55 |
| DistroJockey | dlozarie, you have Synaptic open? | 07:55 |
| mynetdude | tracker? whats that? | 07:55 |
| mynetdude | xbj9000 how do I look for errors/missing info in the current version? | 07:55 |
| Mo0oSaH | dlozarie: were you able to resize your partitions yesterday? | 07:55 |
| dlozarie | synaptic's closed. weird. I did exit the terminal when the Java install kinda hanged. | 07:55 |
| Ziroday | mynetdude: its the supplied alternative to google desktop that ubuntu ships with | 07:55 |
| mynetdude | oh | 07:56 |
| dlozarie | @moosah, yes. well I was able to resize it today with @unavailable's help. :) | 07:56 |
| xbj9000 | mynetdude: sudo nano /etc/X11/xorg.conf | 07:56 |
| mynetdude | I'm just used to using GD, I have it on XP and Vista | 07:56 |
| mynetdude | I don't know enough to know if I'd be missing anything dude... why can't it just tell me there is an update | 07:56 |
| Mo0oSaH | dlozarie: what was causing the resize to be disabled? | 07:56 |
| xbj9000 | well an update is probably what broke it | 07:57 |
| xbj9000 | if there is an update, it will tell you and ask you to install it | 07:57 |
| mynetdude | ok, so lets assume that it was updated is there any way to do a rollback? | 07:57 |
| mynetdude | and prevent it from trying to update too | 07:58 |
| dlozarie | @moosah, well yesterday I was trying to resize my partitions with my installed ubuntu, not a live session. turns out I need a live session to resize. :D | 07:58 |
| mynetdude | live session? | 07:58 |
| mynetdude | dlozarie were u using gparted? | 07:58 |
| xbj9000 | mynetdude, if you manually edit xorg.conf, it will no longer rewrite itself with updates | 07:58 |
| mynetdude | oh | 07:58 |
| dlozarie | mynetdude, yes. :D | 07:58 |
| mynetdude | ah ok... | 07:58 |
| mynetdude | I know that gparted won't run unless you have root | 07:58 |
| mynetdude | but you knew that | 07:59 |
| taiyo | why amd64 has much problems | 07:59 |
| xbj9000 | mynetdude I suggest looking in /etc/X11 in Nautilus and opening xorg.conf and also opening xorg.874536389 or whatever the backup is called, and comparing them | 07:59 |
| ompaul | mynetdude, to have it rewrite itself do this: sudo dpkg-reconfigure xserver-xorg | 07:59 |
| mynetdude | xbj9000, where would the /etc/ be located? Home/usr/etc/? | 07:59 |
| xbj9000 | no /etc | 07:59 |
| xbj9000 | lol | 07:59 |
| dlozarie | hmm. how do I kill a program? | 07:59 |
| ompaul | dlozarie, which one? | 07:59 |
| DistroJockey | dlozarie, sudo killall name | 07:59 |
| mynetdude | never seen the /etc folder but I'll have a look | 08:00 |
| dlozarie | distrojockey, so sudo killall terminal? | 08:00 |
| xbj9000 | mynetdude you have to start in the root, at / | 08:00 |
| mynetdude | ompaul I'm trying to see whether I can revert possibly... not update | 08:00 |
| DistroJockey | dlozarie, nope, look at ps -e first | 08:00 |
| Ziroday | Hi, some of my apps wont run because they complain that they cannot connect to my dbus session, however they run fine if run with sudo, why? | 08:00 |
| DistroJockey | dlozarie, look for synaptic or apt-get | 08:00 |
| mynetdude | xbj9000 so I'd need to do nautilus as root then | 08:00 |
| ompaul | mynetdude, a little clue don't go randomly removing or changing things until you are 100% _sure_ what that change does | 08:00 |
| xbj9000 | mynetdude, click 'File System' in the side panel of Nautilus | 08:01 |
| mynetdude | ofc... I just want to see if there are any backups or not thats the first step | 08:01 |
| xbj9000 | no you don't need to be root to view these files | 08:01 |
| mynetdude | xbj9000 but I can't access root from the non root user right? | 08:01 |
| mynetdude | oh ok, good I'll brb | 08:01 |
| DistroJockey | dlozarie, if you see those, kill them if you are sure you are still not installing/updating etc. | 08:01 |
| dlozarie | here's the thing,, i was trying to install java, and so the terminal window turned into the license agreement, right? so I hit enter and nothing happens, so i close the terminal window and now it won't run the command. | 08:02 |

| xbj9000 | yeah you have to use tab to move your choice selection in those screens | 08:02 |
| dlozarie | aha! apt-get is running! | 08:03 |
| Dr_Willis | dlozarie, sun and their java crud has been brain dead with that licensing 'ok' thing for ages. sadly. | 08:03 |

| xbj9000 | ompaul in Hardy that comand often only writes a 'blank' useless xorg, dunno why | 08:04 |
| dlozarie | yeah it says dpkg blah-blah. | 08:04 |
| mynetdude | trying to avoid doing anything that will make changes until we know for sure what will happen | 08:04 |
| xbj9000 | mynetdude, does xorg.conf seem to be kind of lacking a lot of info? | 08:04 |
| mynetdude | xbj9000 you also said to look for a file called xorg.xxx (x represents numbers)? | 08:04 |
| fjxsunmit | 为什么我不能用LumaQQ | 08:04 |

| lasind1 | Hi all, I'm trying to run an OpenGL program through ssh -X. However, I get this error: Xlib: extension "GLX" missing on display "localhost:10.0". Any ideas on how to get around this? | 08:21 |
| Ziroday | Hermes: yes? | 08:21 |
| xbj9000 | still_here there is a utility I think it's called rpm2deb | 08:21 |
| ompaul | still_here, you can but it is a very bad idea - what is it you want to install there are better ways | 08:21 |
| Ayabara | Ziroday: that's what I thought too, but some guy at mplayer claimed it was a wm setting, so I had to ask.. | 08:21 |
| ompaul | xbj9000, see my comment | 08:21 |
| Hermes | I'm reading a tutorial on shells script writing an apart of it tells me to add a command to .bash_profile | 08:21 |
| joot | still_here: I think it maybe but why do you want to?? | 08:21 |
| Ziroday | still_here: its in the repos you can install it with sudo apt-get install nasm | 08:21 |
| Hermes | so, should I add it to .bashrc, considering that .bash_profile doesnt seem to exist? | 08:22 |
| Ziroday | Hermes: can I have link to the tutorial please? | 08:22 |
| Hermes | ok | 08:22 |
| robbiet480 | !info | 08:22 |
| ubottu | Factoid info not found | 08:22 |

| robbiet480 | whats ur info bot guys? | 08:22 |
| Hermes | http://linuxcommand.org/wss0020.php | 08:22 |
| Hermes | alright | 08:22 |
| robbiet480 | actually what powers ur bot? eggdrop | 08:22 |
| Flannel | Hermes: .bash_profile ought to exist | 08:22 |
| ompaul | robbiet480, supy | 08:22 |
| genii | supybot | 08:22 |
| still_here | Ziroday: i have no internet connection at home :) | 08:22 |
| robbiet480 | thx ompaul | 08:22 |
| joot | still_here: Is it not available in deb | 08:22 |
| Flannel | still_here: Download the deb file from the repositories. | 08:22 |
| still_here | Ziroday: so i have to install it manually. | 08:22 |
| Ziroday | Ayabara: havent used mplayer much so not sure sorry, but I would of though it was mplayers settings | 08:22 |
| Hermes | Cant find it | 08:22 |
| Hermes | I've tried for a while | 08:23 |
| Hermes | I know its hidden too | 08:23 |
| Hermes | :( | 08:23 |
| Ziroday | still_here: ah, you could get it and its dependancies from packages.ubuntu.com | 08:23 |
| Flannel | still_here: Hardy or Gutsy or what? | 08:23 |
| Ziroday | Hi, some of my apps wont run because they complain that they cannot connect to my dbus session, however they run fine if run with sudo, why? | 08:23 |
| still_here | Flannel: Its hardy. | 08:23 |
| mynetdude | can I get someone to kindly send me their xorg.conf? | 08:23 |
| Flannel | still_here: 386 or amd64? | 08:23 |
| Hermes | And I'm quite sure it doesn't as I can create a file names .bash_profile | 08:24 |
| still_here | Flannel: 386 | 08:24 |
| Flannel | still_here: http://packages.ubuntu.com/hardy/i386/nasm/download | 08:24 |

| hobagoal | hello | 08:24 |
| ParanoyaM | Hi, please help me, i installed windows, then using supergrubdisck i loaded my linux and installed grub (grub-install /dev/sdc) and now i can only boot linux, when i am trying to load windows i get error message: Disk Read Error press ctrl-alt-del to continute, fdisk -l :http://pastebin.ru/294699 menu.lst: http://pastebin.ru/294703 | 08:24 |
| hobagoal | any one here can help me | 08:24 |
| Hermes | Maybe | 08:24 |
| Flannel | Hermes: hmm, maybe its deprecated in newer versions. What about ~/.bash_login? | 08:25 |
| hobagoal | ok thanks | 08:25 |
| hobagoal | i can't install flash player | 08:25 |
| ompaul | !grub | ParanoyaM however if you trashed your windows we know nothing of that | 08:25 |
| ubottu | ParanoyaM however if you trashed your windows we know nothing of that: grub is the default Ubuntu boot manager. Lost grub after installing windows: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/RecoveringUbuntuAfterInstallingWindows - Making GRUB floppies & other GRUB howtos: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/GrubHowto | 08:25 |
| ompaul | !flash | hobagoal | 08:25 |
| ubottu | hobagoal: To install Flash see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/RestrictedFormats/Flash (a recent version for !Dapper is available in !backports) - See also !Restricted and !Gnash | 08:25 |
| ParanoyaM | ompaul: i didn't trash, because i installed new it and then made grub-install /dev/sdc, and now i can't boot it | 08:26 |
| hobagoal | cause it's the first time with linux | 08:26 |
| Flannel | ParanoyaM: in your menu.lst, it should be hd1,0 not hd0,0, and you should be mapping hd1 and hd0, not hd2 and hd0 | 08:26 |
| still_here | how to install .so file? | 08:26 |
| Flannel | still_here: Which so file? | 08:27 |
| siccness_ | still_here: do what i did the other day, cp :) | 08:27 |
| Hermes | ok flannel ill check | 08:27 |
| still_here | Flannel: I got a .so file and i have no idea how to do with it. | 08:27 |
| ParanoyaM | Flannel: so you think this can fix my problem? because i think that it should be hd0 because as you can see in my fdisk -l i get 2 partition on hd0 first windows partition and 2nd /boot | 08:27 |
| Flannel | still_here: Whats it called? | 08:27 |
| siccness_ | still_here: whats the final name? | 08:27 |
| siccness_ | *file | 08:27 |
| still_here | siccness_: what do you mean? | 08:27 |
| Hermes | that doesnt exist either | 08:28 |
| siccness_ | a filename is: hello.so | 08:28 |
| still_here | Flannel: its ida pro | 08:28 |
| WindyCN | hey can someone suggest what's the best way to mount a linux based NAS shared drive? | 08:28 |
| siccness_ | WindyCN: with 'mount' | 08:28 |
| Flannel | ParanoyaM: you have no Windows partition on hd0, you have them on hd1 | 08:28 |
| siccness_ | lol | 08:28 |
| hobagoal | how can i navigate special directory in terminal? | 08:28 |
| siccness_ | siccness_: what box is it? | 08:28 |
| WindyCN | there's a guide here https://wiki.ubuntu.com/MountWindowsSharesPermanently but it said it was for windows based shares | 08:28 |
| Ziroday | Hi, some of my apps wont run because they complain that they cannot connect to my dbus session, however they run fine if run with sudo, why? | 08:28 |
| ompaul | !lol | siccness_ | 08:28 |
| ubottu | siccness_: Please don't use "LOL" and "OMG" and so forth on a regular basis. This is IRC, not IM, and using those lines on their own is not required, and it is rather annoying to the rest of the people in the channel; thanks. | 08:28 |
| WindyCN | lol siccness_ | 08:28 |
| ParanoyaM | Flannel: explain me why? | 08:28 |
| WindyCN | it's a DNS-323 | 08:28 |
| siccness_ | dlink? | 08:29 |
| WindyCN | sadly | 08:29 |
| siccness_ | hahahaha | 08:29 |
| Flannel | ParanoyaM: Because I'm looking at your fdisk output, and sda1 is linux, sda2 is Linux, and sda3 is Linux Swap | 08:29 |
| ParanoyaM | Flannel: correct | 08:29 |
| Flannel | still_here: What is the filename of the so file? | 08:29 |
| WindyCN | just thought I'd doublecheck there wasn't a better way to mount the share =/ | 08:29 |
| Flannel | ParanoyaM: so, you have nothing but linux on hd0 | 08:29 |
| hobagoal | plz any one answer me | 08:29 |
| Ziroday | Hi, some of my apps wont run because they complain that they cannot connect to my dbus session, however they run fine if run with sudo, why? | 08:30 |
| hobagoal | how can i navigate special directory in terminal | 08:30 |
| Flannel | hobagoal: cd [directory], just like any other directory (there are no "special directories") | 08:30 |
| still_here | Flannel: it is from the ida pro package. i don't know how to install it on linux. | 08:30 |
| linny | hello im trying t create a dvd from an avi file using devedee i keep getting an error saying cannot create dir tree maybe you ran out of disk space im sure there is enough disk space and ive tried it in a few dir please help :) | 08:30 |
| Flannel | still_here: What is the *filename* of the so? | 08:30 |
| hobagoal | thanx thanx | 08:30 |
| Atomic_Laptop | hey, I know this doesn't exactly regard Linux (quite the opposite ironically), but can anyone help me with coding VB.net OR point me in the direction of a chan that can? | 08:30 |
| Atomic_Laptop | thanks | 08:30 |
| still_here | Flannel: i forgot.. hehe | 08:30 |
| hobagoal | i told u it's first time with linux | 08:30 |
| Hermes | Hey Flannel, .bash_login doesnt exist | 08:30 |
| bazhang | Atomic_Laptop, ##windows perhaps | 08:30 |
| Atomic_Laptop | bazhang: cheers | 08:31 |
| Hermes | I think I read creating my own .bash_profile would work | 08:31 |
| ParanoyaM | Flannel: as you know grub has it is own numeration, but still i know that i load linux from (hd0,1) and this is my /dev/sdc2 so i think that to load windows i need to use /dev/sdc1 and this is (hd0,0) | 08:31 |
| hobagoal | any body here face problem with internet with Ubuntu | 08:31 |
| Flannel | Hermes: man bash, fourth paragraph of "Invocation" will tell you the files it searches, and yeah, creating your own should work (unless its been deprecated) | 08:31 |
| still_here | Flannel: sorry, i forgot coz its on the other system i'm using... i'll check it out soon. btw, how does a .so file works? | 08:31 |
| GirlRiver | can anyone help with blocking sites thru a network using iptables | 08:31 |
| Hermes | ok flanne; | 08:32 |
| Flannel | still_here: They're just libraries that programs use | 08:32 |
| Hermes | flannel | 08:32 |
| Hermes | typo :/ | 08:32 |
| bazhang | GirlRiver, for kids? you might consider dansguardian or ff plugin for that | 08:32 |
| Flannel | ParanoyaM: grub's numeration is more often than not identical to linux's. Pastebin your device.map file (in /boot/grub) | 08:32 |
| still_here | Flannel: so, there might be an executable file on that package, don't you think? | 08:33 |
| AnssarY | hi all, I'm newbie to ubuntu, i installed it on my dell inspiron 1525, but can't get my wireless running | 08:33 |

| dlozarie | *shocked* how do I install the codec needed to play mp3s? | 08:33 |
| Flannel | still_here: which package? the shared object file? no. Its just a library | 08:33 |
| solotim | hi. I installed Ubunt8.04 on Acer Aspire 3641, everything is ok but the audio. It's simply no sound. How should I troubleshoot this problem? thanks | 08:33 |
| Flannel | !mp3 | dlozarie | 08:33 |
| ubottu | dlozarie: For multimedia issues, this page has useful information: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/RestrictedFormats - See also http://help.ubuntu.com/ubuntu/desktopguide/C/common-tasks-chap.html - But please use free formats if you can: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/FreeFormats | 08:33 |
| hobagoal | how can i face the problem of ADSL " Net" problem at Ubuntu | 08:33 |
| still_here | Flannel: i mean, on that folder. not package. | 08:33 |
| Flannel | still_here: I don't understand what you're asking | 08:34 |
| dlozarie | solotim, my Acer TravelMate doesn't play music after it wakes from hibernation/standby. perhaps the same case with yours? | 08:34 |
| Hermes | So Flannel, I read Invocation, and what is says is that I don't need .bash_profile, .bash_login and .profile? | 08:34 |
| ParanoyaM | Flannel: http://pastebin.ru/294704 | 08:34 |
| lore17 | hi, could someone help me configure my wireless with dhcp please. i can connect to ap's but cannot get an ip address | 08:34 |
| Hermes | But just one of them? | 08:34 |
| bazhang | still_here, what is ida pro | 08:34 |
| still_here | Flannel: i don't know how to install ida pro on my linux system. hehe | 08:34 |
| Hermes | It said bash only reads from the first one it finds | 08:34 |
| Flannel | Hermes: It'll check those three, in that order. And I imagine if you have all three, it'll read them all | 08:34 |
| unop | Hermes, what are you trying to do? | 08:34 |
| still_here | bazhang: its a debugger | 08:34 |
| Hermes | I cant find .bash_profile | 08:34 |
| Jewfro | lore17, did you add nameservers? | 08:35 |
| Flannel | ParanoyaM: right. so, sda is hd0, sdb is hd1, sdc is hd2. | 08:35 |
| bazhang | still_here, link please | 08:35 |
| Hermes | Well I want to add a command to .bash_profile | 08:35 |
| lore17 | Jewfro, no, is that a package i need to install? | 08:35 |
| Flannel | Hermes: just create it, yes. Oddly, without your _profile, you wont be loading .bashrc | 08:35 |
| still_here | bazhang: search on wikipedia.org | 08:35 |
| AnssarY | hi, i installed ubuntu gutsy, and upgraded to hardy on inspiron 1525, but my wireless is not working, any help please ? | 08:35 |
| AnssarY | hi, i installed ubuntu gutsy, and upgraded to hardy on inspiron 1525, but my wireless is not working, any help please ? | 08:35 |
| Flannel | Hermes: just create a new file, its no big deal | 08:35 |
| unop | Hermes, .bash_profile does not need to exist, if you create one -- bash will use it _only_ when you log on to a system, not otherwise | 08:35 |
| Ziroday | Hi, some of my apps wont run because they complain that they cannot connect to my dbus session, however they run fine if run with sudo, why? | 08:35 |
| Jewfro | lore17, no - add your isp's nameserver - or opendsn ones - to /etc/resolv.conf | 08:35 |
| solotim | dlozarie. have you handled it? | 08:35 |
| ParanoyaM | it is not correct, please see http://pastebin.ru/294703 to find out that linux boots from hd0,1 | 08:35 |
| unop | Hermes, if you want to have bash do something everytime you invoke bash, put your commands in ~/.bashrc not ~/.bash_profile | 08:36 |
| lore17 | Jewfro, thanks, il try at | 08:36 |
| Hermes | II did make my own .bash_profile and put alias l='ls -l' in it, but I don't think it worked | 08:36 |
| ParanoyaM | Flannel: it is not correct, please see http://pastebin.ru/294703 to find out that linux boots from hd0,1 | 08:36 |
| Hermes | Okay Okay | 08:36 |
| ParanoyaM | Flannel: so as i understand hd0,1 it is /boot | 08:36 |
| ParanoyaM | Flannel: if so then hd0,0 it is my windows partition | 08:36 |
| Jewfro | lore17, you should also have a nameserver tab in the network under system, administration | 08:36 |
| Sinister | im naked and all oiled up | 08:36 |
| ionstorm | where can I find information on running a 300 pc ubuntu only network | 08:36 |
| ionstorm | with printers and all | 08:36 |
| still_here | Sinister: lol | 08:36 |
| Flannel | ParanoyaM: That looks to be the case, yes. | 08:36 |
| Hermes | I'll add alias l='ls -l' to .profile, and create my own .bash_profile | 08:36 |
| Hermes | then ill log out and back in, and see if what i tried to do worked | 08:37 |
| Hermes | :D | 08:37 |
| linny | anyone reccomend easy software to convert avi to dvd it may sound daft but i cannot get devede to work | 08:37 |
| Flannel | ParanoyaM: Er, that doesn't make any sense | 08:37 |
| dlozarie | solotim, the way I handled it is by disallowing my lappy from ever hibernating/standing-by. instead I set my display to turn off after 3 minutes or so. | 08:37 |
| Sinister | kids | 08:37 |
| DistroJockey | Hermes, I believe ~/.bash_profile needs to be an executable | 08:37 |
| unop | Hermes, adding it to profile would not be the best of ideas .. that file is also sourced by other shells like csh, tcsh, zsh .. and the syntax you are using is bash specific | 08:37 |
| Hermes | Alright | 08:37 |
| ParanoyaM | Flannel: yeap, i am breaking my head with this problem all night | 08:37 |
| Flannel | ParanoyaM: pastebin your fstab, and blkid | 08:37 |
| Hermes | I see | 08:37 |
| Flannel | ParanoyaM: 'sudo blkid' that is | 08:38 |
| DistroJockey | Hermes, as per http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=528996 | 08:38 |
| Mario | do you support ibook ubuntu? | 08:38 |
| Ziroday | Hi, some of my apps wont run because they complain that they cannot connect to my dbus session, however they run fine if run with sudo, why? | 08:38 |
| Hermes | Yeah, I suppose I shouldn't, because I just assumed I could and it'd be okay | 08:38 |
| Mario | it shows "cannot allocate PCI something then blank | 08:38 |
| unop | DistroJockey, no, it does not need to be set executable as the file is sourced not executed | 08:38 |
| solotim | dlozrie, :) it's really a method. | 08:38 |
| DistroJockey | unop, ok, cheers for clearing that up | 08:38 |
| ParanoyaM | Flannel: http://pastebin.ru/294705 | 08:39 |
| unop | Hermes, well, it'll work just as long as you use bash .. but the minute you use another shell, you might run into problems | 08:39 |
| dlozarie | solotim, yeah that's all I can do as of the moment. lol | 08:39 |
| hobagoal | exit | 08:39 |

| dlozarie | solotim, tbh, I really don't know what's up either. might be an Acer problem, might be an incompatibility thing. I really can't do much for you re: this problem, maybe you could ask the other guys in here and they could help solve the probby. :D | 08:40 |

| AnssarY | ubottu: thanks | 08:41 |
| ubottu | You're welcome! But keep in mind I'm just a bot ;-) | 08:41 |
| solotim | dlozarie, thank you anyway, shake hands.... | 08:41 |
| Hermes | Thanks, it worked | 08:42 |
| DistroJockey | Hermes, which bit? :) | 08:42 |
| dlozarie | solotim, *shake hands* why'd you choose an Acer lappy anyway? lol | 08:42 |
| Hermes | I did touch .bash_profile, chmod 700 .bash_profile, then put alias l='ls -l' in there | 08:42 |
| DistroJockey | Hermes, ahh, cool :) | 08:42 |
| Hermes | Yeah | 08:42 |
| Hermes | What does touch do anyway? | 08:43 |
| DistroJockey | Hermes, makes an empty file | 08:43 |
| genii | man touch to find out | 08:43 |
| Hermes | Okay | 08:43 |
| rambo3 | touch /woman | 08:43 |
| ParanoyaM | Flannel: | 08:43 |
| ParanoyaM | any ideas? | 08:43 |
| Hermes | So I just did exactly what I did maybe an hour ago | 08:43 |
| unop | Hermes, create a file if one does not exist - or set times on files if they exist | 08:43 |
| Hermes | but this time it worked :/ | 08:43 |
| Flannel | ParanoyaM: alright, so what's happening is GRUB is getting your harddrives in a different order than Linux. Are some of them IDE and some SATA? | 08:43 |
| DistroJockey | Hermes, happens ;) | 08:44 |
| unop | Hermes, it might be possible that you made a typo then and that caused bash to ignore your alias statement | 08:44 |
| Hermes | Yes | 08:44 |
| Hermes | But I don't think so | 08:44 |
| Hermes | Well, thanks for your time | 08:44 |
| DistroJockey | Hermes, you're welcome | 08:44 |
| Hermes | I sure am | 08:45 |
| solotim | dlozarie, I liked its apperance at that time. LOL~~~ I'll never buy acer products. | 08:45 |
| mynetdude | hey does anybody know how to unlock the FN command to stop using the alternate keys? cuz when I type certain letters I get certain numbers instead like k is 2 and there is a 2 in blue which means its using the FN command | 08:45 |
| ParanoyaM | Flannel: yes all of them sata except sdc. SDC is ide. I made so because my old motherboard can't boot from sata harddrives. So situation is like here IDE hdd is divided on 2 partitions 1-st : 19GB - windows (and boot) 2nd - 200 Mb - /boot | 08:45 |
| afallenhope | Anyone know anything about ssh? | 08:45 |
| Ziroday | Hi, some of my apps wont run because they complain that they cannot connect to my dbus session, however they run fine if run with sudo, why? | 08:46 |
| dlozarie | solotim, yeah them aspire lappies look nice. I own a travelmate tho. lol if it were up to me, i'd have bought a macbook or, at the very least, an asus. hehe. | 08:46 |
| mynetdude | hey does anybody know how to unlock the FN command to stop using the alternate keys? cuz when I type certain letters I get certain numbers instead like k is 2 and there is a 2 in blue which means its using the FN command <---- laptop | 08:46 |
| dlozarie | mynetdude, same dilemma here. :( | 08:46 |
| Mr_Rabies2 | hrmm, is there a way to do a total format that entirely removes everything? somehow, system updates that break my ubuntu port seem to be persisting through reinstalls and even partition deletions somehow :( | 08:46 |
| Mr_Rabies2 | i'm also pretty new to linux in general so be gentle please :( | 08:46 |
| Flannel | ParanoyaM: ah. That'd do it then. Alright, so, Linux is seeing the IDE after the SATAs (or at least, puttingit there), and GRUB sees it before. So your windows will be hd2,0 so you want to set your root command to hd2,0 | 08:46 |
| mynetdude | dlozarie explain? | 08:46 |
| blah569 | Can anyone help me get the Win 98 driver files for RTL8187B wireless card? I have the Vista drivers, but appon further reading, I realized I needed the 98 files in order for this to work. | 08:46 |
| blah569 | I have had not any luck via Google. | 08:47 |
| unop | blah569, driverguide.com | 08:47 |
| solotim | dlozarie, I agree with you. hehe | 08:47 |
| Flannel | Ziroday: These are graphical apps? | 08:47 |
| dlozarie | well, i had the problem before (ya know, FN key going nuts), but now it's gone, idk what happened. lol | 08:47 |
| blah569 | unop: Thanks, I shall take a look at it. | 08:47 |
| IndoRama | Hi...When I play a movie in 'Movie Player' the sound is fine when window is not fullscreen, but as soon as I make the movie fullscreen...the sound quality becomes too bad. The same thing is happening in VLC also....any suggestions ? | 08:47 |
| === Gumby` is now known as Gumby | ||
| ParanoyaM | Flannel: why hd2,0?? | 08:47 |
| unop | blah569, but i would try windows 2000/XP drivers first .. as they tend to be more stable than the win98 ones | 08:47 |
| Dr_Willis | Ziroday, try runnong some of the apps from the terminal to see what exact error messages they give. Its possible its a permission issue. | 08:48 |
| ParanoyaM | Flannel: i think that my grub even don't see sata partitions because all of them are connected through sata controllers | 08:48 |
| Ziroday | Flannel: yes | 08:48 |
| SilentDis | hello :) | 08:48 |
| Dr_Willis | Ziroday, an error like this --> Failed to connect to socket /tmp/dbus-hHRc4b7Olp, would imply that /tmp/ or that file has permission wrong issues. | 08:48 |
| Ziroday | Dr_Willis: sure one sec | 08:49 |
| Flannel | ParanoyaM: Because the IDE drive is being put first, and then its the second SATA drive | 08:49 |
| ParanoyaM | yes | 08:49 |
| ParanoyaM | but windows is on IDE | 08:49 |
| ParanoyaM | as i told you | 08:49 |
| Flannel | ParanoyaM: so, 0,1,2, hd2 | 08:49 |
| Dr_Willis | Ziroday, im just reading the various d-bus docs/sites. :) its one of those things ive never really looked into. | 08:49 |
| Dr_Willis | Ziroday, sudo /etc/init.d/dbus restart - will restart the dbus service also. | 08:49 |
| Flannel | ParanoyaM: Windows isnt the one labelled "system"? | 08:49 |
| Ziroday | Dr_Willis: here is the error - Error connecting to dbus: Failed to connect to socket /tmp/dbus-ta3RgIGDw8: Connection refused | 08:49 |
| ParanoyaM | Flannel: anyway i tried all variants, and i always get message there is no such driv | 08:50 |
| ArticWolf | I have a problem with installing Ubuntu 8.04 on a computer, runs Ubuntu 7.04 ... but when i try and install 8.04 it stops at a Busybox 1.1.3 window ... the computer is a Dell Power Edge 2400 with 733mhz CPU with 1gig ram | 08:50 |
| Dr_Willis | Ziroday, yep. :) now in that same terminal run dbus-launch , THEN try the app. | 08:50 |
| SilentDis | I know this is possible, just wondering if there's a tutorial out there to help me set it up. Got 2 computers, this one, my 'monster' that runs everything, and a crappy little laptop that can't run anything... but it can run DSL w/ X. My intent is to throw DSL on it, and just ssh over and spawn x apps on it (chat, IRC, etc etc etc). I'd like to do this without having to actually ssh and spawn the apps each time on the little machine (as I do now). is | 08:50 |
| SilentDis | there a way to set that up? | 08:50 |

| ParanoyaM | Flannel: yes! | 08:50 |
| Eyeful_reader | hi all | 08:50 |
| ubottu | Launchpad bug 85118 in dbus "epiphany launch error: Unable to connect to session bus" [Medium,Confirmed] | 08:50 |
| ParanoyaM | Flannel: system is not windows | 08:50 |
| Flannel | ParanoyaM: So, /boot and windows are on the same drive? | 08:50 |
| ParanoyaM | yes! | 08:50 |
| xbj9000 | articwolf that's a slower CPU, try the 'Alternate' Ubuntu CD | 08:50 |
| Dr_Willis | Seems thers some general dbus issues going on. from the # of forum posts ive seen on it. | 08:50 |
| ParanoyaM | because i need to load both of them | 08:50 |
| Flannel | ParanoyaM: Get rid of the two map directives there. | 08:51 |
| ParanoyaM | how? | 08:51 |
| Flannel | ParanoyaM: You don't need them both on the same drive to load both of them, for the record | 08:51 |
| Ziroday | Dr_Willis: says this > Unable to create /home/nick/.dbus/session-bus | 08:51 |
| Ziroday | Flannel: thanks will take a look | 08:51 |
| Flannel | ParanoyaM: delete those two lines. Uh, 176 and 177. Oh... and actually, you need a "makeactive" in there too. | 08:51 |
| Flannel | Ziroday: also, for the record, always use gksu with graphical programs, not sudo. | 08:51 |
| ArticWolf | xbj9000 thanks for ur help | 08:52 |
| Dr_Willis | Ziroday, a forum posts mention a /home/USERNAME/.dbus file that is created with the wrong rights.. delete the .dbus files, and let your user remake them with that dbus launch command. | 08:52 |
| ParanoyaM | Flannel: last time i installed linux i and #grub and #ubuntu couldn't made load my linux from sata drives, that's why i was adviced to use /boot partition on IDE drive | 08:52 |
| Flannel | ParanoyaM: root, savedefault, makeactive, chainloader +1 | 08:52 |
| ParanoyaM | oh i see | 08:52 |
| ParanoyaM | wait i will check | 08:52 |
| Flannel | ParanoyaM: That could very well be the issue. | 08:52 |
| ArticWolf | xbj9000 would it help if i installed a second CPU | 08:52 |
| Ziroday | Flannel: sure, but shouldn't it be gksudo? | 08:52 |

| xbj9000 | articwolf, second CPU? | 08:52 |
| Dr_Willis | Ziroday, you may want to remove the whole dbus directory. and logout/back in. | 08:53 |
| Ziroday | Flannel: ah sorry on my debian system they are different | 08:53 |
| Ziroday | Dr_Willis: okay will try gimme a sec | 08:53 |
| ArticWolf | xbj9000 this MB will support a second CPU but it isnt installed | 08:53 |
| Flannel | Ziroday: as of dapper (?) one is symlinked to the other | 08:53 |
| xbj9000 | ah, well I'm not sure | 08:53 |
| Dr_Willis | Ziroday, im reading all these forum posts.. and stinn not sure what 'dbus' actually does. :) | 08:53 |
| ParanoyaM | Flannel: http://pastebin.ru/294707 | 08:53 |
| xbj9000 | you should be fast enough to run ubuntu as-is, but it may be too slow to handle the installer | 08:53 |
| Ziroday | Dr_Willis: it basically provides a common language for all the apps to talk to each other | 08:53 |
| Flannel | ParanoyaM: yes | 08:54 |
| ArticWolf | xbj9000 .. thanks for ur help i will get the alternate CD :) | 08:54 |
| ParanoyaM | ok i will try now, wait i need to reboot | 08:54 |
| Dr_Willis | Ziroday, i imagine some app ran as root and wrote to that .dbus dir instead of /root/.dbus is the root cause of the issues | 08:54 |
| Ziroday | Dr_Willis: makes sense | 08:54 |
| Flannel | Ziroday: that's caused by sudo vs gksudo, by the way | 08:54 |
| Dr_Willis | Ziroday, i agree with Flannel :) | 08:55 |
| AnssarY | ALL: when i run this : iwconfig , i got no wireless card defined (inwpiron 1525) , any help please | 08:55 |
| Ziroday | Flannel: hmm okay | 08:55 |
| Flannel | Ziroday: but, I'm not sure that's the cause (because I found that bug) | 08:55 |
| Ziroday | Dr_Willis Flannel: could be from the new DE I am using | 08:55 |
| nveid | sup | 08:56 |
| Ziroday | Dr_Willis, Flannel : aha bingo, ~/.dbus permissions were set to no read for anyone but root, changing the permissions works, great thank you so so much | 08:57 |
| Hermes | Dammit | 08:58 |
| Hermes | I didnt solve the problem after all | 08:58 |
| koshari | AnssarY what wireless card are you using | 08:59 |
| DistroJockey | Hermes, :( | 08:59 |
| Hermes | hahaha | 08:59 |
| Hermes | Just noticed something | 08:59 |
| Hermes | making .bash_profile didnt help at all | 09:00 |
| Hermes | I modified .bashrc, which solved the problem | 09:00 |
| Dr_Willis_Wirele | Hermes: .bash_profile is only ran by 'login' shells | 09:00 |
| Dr_Willis_Wirele | Hermes: .bashrc is ran by every shell | 09:00 |
| Hermes | And the tutorial I'm reading actually tells me to use .bashrc, and not .bash_profile | 09:00 |
| Hermes | Yeah | 09:00 |
| Dr_Willis_Wirele | often the .bashrc is ran by the .bash_profile | 09:01 |
| Hermes | So... | 09:01 |
| unop | Hermes, we did suggest using .bashrc over ~.bash_profile | 09:01 |
| Hermes | If I read more of the tutorial, I wouldnt have wasted 2 or so hours | 09:01 |

| xbj9000 | dlozarie, you need the medibuntu repository | 09:05 |
| dlozarie | xbj9000, okay. how do I get that? :) | 09:05 |
| genii | !medibuntu | 09:06 |
| ubottu | medibuntu is a repository of packages that cannot be included into the Ubuntu distribution for legal reasons - See http://www.medibuntu.org | 09:06 |
| Eyeful_reader | am I missing a plug in? | 09:06 |
| Eyeful_reader | something simple? | 09:06 |
| Mr_Rabies2 | argh :( | 09:06 |
| xbj9000 | dlozarie: run this in terminal: sudo wget http://www.medibuntu.org/sources.list.d/hardy.list -O /etc/apt/sources.list.d/medibuntu.list | 09:06 |
| xbj9000 | dlozarie: then this: sudo apt-get update && sudo apt-get install medibuntu-keyring && sudo apt-get update | 09:07 |
| Mr_Rabies2 | is there an easy way i can totally destroy my ubuntu install in all respects? even partition deletions seem to retain some stuff such as system updates for some reason :( | 09:07 |
| |414TooLong| | xbj9000: will that work on 7.10? | 09:07 |
| Mr_Rabies2 | it's probably this ps3 port being a problem, but you know :( | 09:07 |
| dlozarie | Mr_Rabies2, why uninstall Ubuntu? | 09:08 |
| xbj9000 | no 7.10 is a different repository | 09:08 |
| Mr_Rabies2 | dlozarie: i'm trying to get a clean slate to reinstall | 09:08 |
| xbj9000 | for 7.10 the first part should be: sudo wget http://www.medibuntu.org/sources.list.d/gutsy.list -O /etc/apt/sources.list.d/medibuntu.list | 09:08 |
| dlozarie | Mr_Rabies, oh. :) | 09:08 |
| blah569 | Where is ndiswrapper's location when you Install it? I'm having difficulty removing a driver from the command line, so I wish to remove it manually. | 09:09 |
| Mr_Rabies2 | a couple system updates destroyed my install, and even deleting partitions and stuff with the livecd seems to keep them there somehow :/ | 09:09 |
| |414TooLong| | thx | 09:09 |
| Mr_Rabies2 | er, destroyed the functionality of it in some respects, rather | 09:09 |
| dlozarie | Mr_Rabies, I really can't help with the very technical aspects of Ubuntu, perhaps someone else can help you. I'm sure there are some fellas here who'd be willing to help. | 09:09 |
| Eyeful_reader | anyone | 09:09 |
| blah569 | Where is ndiswrapper's location when you Install it? I'm having difficulty removing a driver from the command line, so I wish to remove it manually. | 09:09 |
| xbj9000 | eyeful_reader are you using 64bit Ubuntu? | 09:10 |

| Eyeful_reader | just normal ubuntu | 09:10 |
| xbj9000 | did you install ubuntu-restricted-extras? | 09:11 |
| Eyeful_reader | flash? | 09:11 |
| Eyeful_reader | I think so | 09:11 |
| xbj9000 | go to firefox and type about:plugins into the address bar | 09:11 |
| blah569 | Nevermind, I could remove it via Termnial. | 09:11 |
| blah569 | Terminal *. | 09:11 |
| dlozarie | lol xbj9000 that was a smiley, about: plugins! lol | 09:11 |
| dlozarie | about:plugins | 09:11 |
| Eyeful_reader | Shackwave flash is the first | 09:12 |
| xbj9000 | then flash SHOULD work | 09:12 |
| Eyeful_reader | yes adobe loads | 09:12 |
| xbj9000 | also mozplugger is a great plugin that handles everything else | 09:12 |
| xbj9000 | so is java the only problem? | 09:13 |

| xbj9000 | well there's more.. | 09:15 |
| Eyeful_reader | where is the sun-java6-plugin? | 09:15 |
| Flannel | ParanoyaM: Uh, root tells GRUB a default partition to use, then savedfault is a grub thing (for default entry), and then makeactive sets that as the active partition, and then chainloader +1 ... well, basically starts that partitions bootloader, whatever that happens to be | 09:15 |
| leycuen | holas una consulta, alguien si existe spss para linux? | 09:15 |

| dlozarie | @xbj9000, kthx. | 09:17 |
| xbj9000 | dlozarie: libdvdcss2 is needed to play DVDs and w32codecs is for playing a lot of restricted proprietary formats | 09:17 |

| tomasko | i really want to start playing with kde4, but i don't want to be installing all those pesky kde4 packages and simultaneously need to keep kde3 stuff around | 09:19 |
| Eyeful_reader | I had java | 09:19 |
| avis | tomasko, you will have to google your hardware to make sure its supported in hardy. also i've heard things where if you upgrade from terminal that things like audio breaks. its always best to do a fresh install if possible. | 09:20 |
| rainabba | xbj9000: ty also. What the most appropriate/common app for viewing these folders in preview/thumbnail mode? | 09:20 |
| rainabba | s/What/What's | 09:21 |
| Mr_Rabies2 | avis, perhaps you know, but is there a way to do a genuine, "fresh" install, or am i trying to do one and my playstation 3 install is somehow acting up and not properly formatting/deleting partitions when i tell it to :/ | 09:21 |
| ytsestef | is there anyone that is using the fglrx driver and gets proper video playback (xv overlay mode)? | 09:21 |
| xbj9000 | rainabba: probably fspot, which you should already have | 09:21 |
| Mr_Rabies2 | because popping the cd in, checking "format" and even deleting partitions is somehow retaining data i don't want to retain :/ | 09:21 |
| DistroJockey | rainabba, open the folder, it will show them | 09:21 |
| xbj9000 | rainabba, that also :p | 09:22 |
| rainabba | It's open ... but in list mode :) | 09:22 |
| xbj9000 | but I assumed you knew that | 09:22 |
| MiniK | I can't get my wireless network to connect. Anybody got a NetGear WG111T that can help me? | 09:22 |
| xbj9000 | oh then put it in icon mode :p | 09:22 |
| DistroJockey | rainabba, that is one thing I dislike about browsing for the icons in Gnome, you need to actually know there are icons in the folder as you can't see them when you browse to it | 09:22 |
| xbj9000 | underneath the footprint | 09:22 |
| rainabba | DistroJockey: Exactly what I'm dealing with right now. | 09:23 |
| avis | Mr_Rabies2, well if its making a clean / partition then its doing a fresh install. you'd also want a swap, and you wouldn't overwrite your /home dir where your data is. if you want to get fresh config files for your ~/user directory then you need to delete those before you reinstall. i'm guessing doing a ps3 install is much like a pc using the debian installer, though i dont know, should be about the same though | 09:23 |
| DistroJockey | rainabba, aye | 09:23 |
| dlozarie | xbj9000, doh! still unable to play! | 09:23 |
| xbj9000 | hmm | 09:23 |
| ytsestef | anyone? | 09:23 |
| tomasko | avis: uh, i've been using ubuntu since 5.10 buddy, never needed to do that. edgy -> feisty was a bit ugly initially, but it worked out fine | 09:23 |
| xbj9000 | dlozarie: try sudo apt-get install lame | 09:23 |
| blah569 | I have tried everything to get wireless to work with this Ubuntu. I have installed the RTL8187b driver files with ndiswrapper, I have made sure that they start up when the computer boots, and I have blacklisted the r8180 Linux driver. | 09:23 |
| blah569 | The Win 98 drivers, by the way. | 09:24 |
| tomasko | avis: i know the stuff is supported in hardy, i'm talking about upgrading to ibex. when (before the official release) would upgrading yield a relatively stable system? | 09:24 |
| avis | tomasko, you asked when it would be safe to upgrade and i replied given the experiences of people who upgraded from gutsy to hardy on this channel. | 09:24 |
| Mr_Rabies2 | avis: would those things usually survive a partition deletion? i'd imagine not | 09:24 |
| avis | tomasko, i'm not sure what ibex is. dont know. sorry | 09:24 |
| Mr_Rabies2 | my guess is the ps3 version of the installer is somehow broken | 09:24 |
| dlozarie | xbj9000, did sudo apt-get lame, no worky-worky still. :( | 09:24 |

| * ^hellfire^ siema | 09:25 | |
| tomasko | ompaul: that's not helpful. also use !command > user | 09:25 |
| avis | Mr_Rabies2, you have to tell the partitioner when you do a manual partition what partitions to create and what to format, or not format. /home will always survive if your sure you tell the partitioner to not overwrite it | 09:25 |
| xbj9000 | what are you using tp play the mp3s? | 09:25 |
| tomasko | otherwise, it just pollutes the channel with useless repetitive garbage | 09:25 |
| dlozarie | unop, sudo apt-get install liblame0? | 09:25 |
| unop | dlozarie, yes | 09:26 |

| avis | Mr_Rabies2, just do manual partition make a swap / and /home directory 2x ram for swap about 15gb for / and the rest on /home and tell it to format each one | 09:26 |
| rainabba | Any way to tell which icons are associated with or installed by a given app? For example, i'm creating a launcher for pavumeter right now and I'm sure there is an icon already. | 09:27 |
| dlozarie | unop, still no. the error message that comes up in totem: "The playback of this movie requires a audio/x-asf-unknown decoder plugin which is not installed." | 09:27 |
| Mr_Rabies2 | i have, and yet it retains that data somehow, avis | 09:27 |
| weesyz | yo in ubuntu apache2 I can't get userdir to chmod and show public_html directory | 09:27 |
| Mr_Rabies2 | i've even resized the / and swaps and still somehow gets retained | 09:27 |
| unop | dlozarie, install w32codecs from the medibuntu repo .. see !medibuntu | 09:27 |
| tomasko | ompaul: i'm not expecting stability with which i pick up a phone and demand fixes or any outrageous like that. i just mean that if everything worked in 8.04, at what point between the release of 8.04 and the release of 8.10 is it safe to begin updating? | 09:27 |
| barney | hard,too hard | 09:27 |
| Flannel | weesyz: is it readable by www-data? | 09:27 |
| tomasko | ompaul: also, that wiki is so completely barebones | 09:27 |
| dlozarie | unop, I've done that. | 09:27 |
| weesyz | I get this error | 09:27 |
| weesyz | yo, in apache2 I can't get userdir to chmod and show public_html directory | 09:27 |
| avis | Mr_Rabies2, if it retains the data your not telling it to format those partitions before mounting them. there is a specific option that is like "format" or "do not format" | 09:27 |
| weesyz | I ment | 09:28 |
| Mr_Rabies2 | yes, i am, avis | 09:28 |
| Mr_Rabies2 | i'm clicking "Format" | 09:28 |
| Mr_Rabies2 | the checkbox | 09:28 |
| ompaul | tomasko, go to #ubuntu+1 to find out the state of play | 09:28 |
| DaLiang | hello | 09:28 |
| blah569 | have tried everything to get wireless to work with this Ubuntu. I have installed the RTL8187b Win 98 driver files with ndiswrapper, I have made sure that they start up when the computer boots, and I have blacklisted the r8180 Linux driver. | 09:28 |

| xbj9000 | mr_rabies2 you must be telling it to use the partitions yet not checking the "format?" box on them | 09:28 |
| blah569 | I have tried everything to get wireless to work with this Ubuntu. I have installed the RTL8187b Win 98 driver files with ndiswrapper, I have made sure that they start up when the computer boots, and I have blacklisted the r8180 Linux driver. * | 09:28 |
| Mr_Rabies2 | this is 7.10, and yes i am xbj9000 | 09:28 |
| weesyz | Flannel: I don't know | 09:28 |
| Flannel | weesyz: your public_html directory isn't accessible by www-data (this is a regular permissions issue, not an apache one) | 09:28 |
| Mr_Rabies2 | my guess is the installer is just only half-working on the ps3 port | 09:28 |
| weesyz | does www-data need to be changed to public_html Flannel | 09:29 |
| Mr_Rabies2 | since the auto partitioner straight up doesn't work at all on the ps3 port | 09:29 |
| boris | the sound is crappy, but it is resolved with setting ALSA PCM on front:0 to about three fourths (in Volume Control). however this only works until reboot. please help | 09:29 |
| DaLiang | if i find there two user runing in my computer is that meaning i had been atrack by hack? | 09:29 |
| xbj9000 | dlozarie maybe totem needs the gstreamer plugins | 09:29 |
| Flannel | weesyz: no, you need to make ~/public_html world readable | 09:29 |
| xbj9000 | did you try any other app for playing the mp3s? | 09:29 |
| Eyeful_reader | ok login loads | 09:29 |

| weesyz | Flannel: how, can I get a example | 09:29 |
| Starnestommy | DaLiang: it could mean that you're logged in on the desktop and in a terminal | 09:29 |
| tomasko | blah569: try it with a grml live cd, if that doesn't work, then you know it's not an ubuntu-specific problem (though possibly debian and debian-derived issue as well as actual kernel bug (unlikely) or even a hardware problem (also something i doubt)) | 09:30 |
| rainabba | Ok, new question. What's involved in using a .glade file for an icon? | 09:30 |
| DaLiang | Starnestommy:oh! thank you very much,i am a fool | 09:30 |
| Eyeful_reader | try http://chatshack.net/truckinusainc | 09:30 |

| WGGMk | Can anyone help me out with this, I keep getting this error http://pastebin.org/45306 after running update manager.. what is this caused by and how can I fix it? | 09:34 |
| Flannel | weesyz: You just set *roots* public_html to be viewable. not your own user. Why do you have a root console open anyway? | 09:34 |
| node357 | my sound blaster x-fi isn't working in Hardy, even with "oss" drivers | 09:34 |

| rashid | hi, i've installed ubuntu 8.04, everything is working, but i dont know how to run my murcury ez view tv tuner card, someone help me in this | 09:34 |
| weesyz | see how it does trying to any file | 09:34 |
| Flannel | weesyz: exit your root console, and do the command again. | 09:34 |
| weesyz | or anything | 09:35 |
| DistroJockey | xbj9000, I had: gstreamer0.10-ffmpeg gstreamer0.10-plugins-ugly liba52-0.7.4 libavcodec1d libavformat1d libavutil1d libdc1394-13 libdvdread3 libgsm1 libid3tag0 libmad0 libmpeg2-4 libpostproc1d libsidplay1 | 09:35 |
| Flannel | weesyz: (as your own users) | 09:35 |
| weesyz | has each user got to do this? ;/ | 09:35 |
| xbj9000 | dlozarie I also suggest these packages for playing media: exaile rhythmbox vlc | 09:35 |
| Flannel | weesyz: yes. They're the ones controlling access to their public_html folders. If they don't want people seeing something, that's their perogative | 09:35 |
| xbj9000 | hmm distrojockey I never had to install those, maybe they came with other packages | 09:36 |
| blah569 | dialman: RTL81876b is my card, however, I am suppossed to use RTL8187b, as it is more common. | 09:36 |
| xbj9000 | probably ristricted-extras | 09:36 |
| Flannel | weesyz: Well, there are some ways around it, groups, etc. | 09:36 |
| DistroJockey | xbj9000, yeah, probably, I grabbed that list from Synaptic's history | 09:36 |
| Flannel | weesyz: but yes, each user needs to make sure their public_html folder (and any files they want to be viewable) are readable by the www-data user | 09:36 |
| Enselic | Does anyone happen to know when FF3.0 stable will come to Ubuntu repos? | 09:37 |
| xbj9000 | dlozarie, especially vlc, it plays anything | 09:37 |
| blah569 | I have tried everything to get wireless to work with this Ubuntu. I have installed the RTL8187b Win 98 driver files with ndiswrapper, I have made sure that they start up when the computer boots, and I have blacklisted the r8180 Linux driver. | 09:37 |
| xbj9000 | enselic isn't it already? | 09:37 |
| node357 | my sound blaster x-fi isn't working in Hardy, even with "oss" drivers | 09:37 |
| weesyz | Flannel: how do I know if www-data is reading it? | 09:37 |
| Enselic | xbj9000: doesn't seem to be when I do apt-cache show firefox-3.0 | 09:37 |
| xbj9000 | maybe it's called something else | 09:38 |
| node357 | is a month long enough to wait for an answer???? | 09:38 |
| sauvin | maybe you need to do an updaet. | 09:38 |
| node357 | !sound | 09:38 |
| 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 | 09:38 |
| xbj9000 | enselic, if it's stable it's probably just called "firefox" now | 09:38 |
| Flannel | weesyz: Because the permissions will be such that a user named www-data will be able to read it | 09:38 |
| Enselic | xbj9000: firefox is just a meta package | 09:38 |
| blah569 | !wireless | 09:38 |

| Enselic | xbj9000: same here, but there is still an annoying bug that I don't get if I use the firefox mozilla provies | 09:39 |
| node357 | god I give up on Ubuntu | 09:40 |
| Sa[i]nT | Gah. | 09:41 |
| xbj9000 | quiters | 09:41 |
| Enselic | WGGMk: This seems like a good start: http://www.linux.com/articles/48910 | 09:41 |
| dialman | Why give up on ubuntu? It was definitely a pain to get working, but my system is faster and more functional than it ever was under windows... | 09:41 |
| Sa[i]nT | Ubuntu is great. | 09:41 |
| Sa[i]nT | I've been windows free for like 3 months now. | 09:41 |
| xbj9000 | quiters can't hang, their loss | 09:41 |
| tomasko | dialman: perhaps he didn't want to endure the pain of getting it to work? | 09:41 |
| Sa[i]nT | I can see colors again! lol. | 09:41 |
| xbj9000 | food tastes better! | 09:42 |
| Sa[i]nT | Plus... | 09:42 |
| Sa[i]nT | You can't mess with the CUBE | 09:42 |
| xbj9000 | women still flee! .oh... | 09:42 |
| dialman | Definitely a lot more configuration needed. When first installed: SMB, wireless, dual monitor support. flash support, and sound were all at least somewhat broken. | 09:42 |
| * rainabba is finding Unbutu to be quite the pain compared to Windows and OSX, but he had an unusually good experience with both despite his requirements. Not even close to giving up though. | 09:42 | |
| WGGMk | Enselic: thanks but I think its more like grub not updating for some reason rather then apt-get failing | 09:42 |
| rainabba | Sa[i]nT: Referring to Compiz cube? | 09:43 |
| Eyeful_reader | anyone http://chatshack.net/truckinusainc | 09:43 |
| Sa[i]nT | I was talking linux to a friend today, and realized when I was explaining how to do regex combo's in grep, that omg.. I'mma geek. | 09:43 |
| Sa[i]nT | rainabba, Yes. | 09:43 |
| WGGMk | Enselic: I think it might be cause by a 3rd party gfx-boot I installed for amd64, but I dont really know what steps to take to fix it | 09:43 |
| Eyeful_reader | Java loads but fails to enter room | 09:43 |
| Enselic | WGGMk: uinstall? | 09:43 |
| dialman | Still have a few problems. If compiz is enabled I get a lot of flickering in any other app I run that uses opengl. | 09:43 |
| rainabba | Sa[i]nT: If the compiz devs run with my idea, the cube will be old news :) | 09:43 |
| rainabba | The cube barely begins to demonstrate what UI can be like. | 09:44 |
| xbj9000 | eyeful_reader, did you change your default version of java to use? installing sun isn't enough | 09:44 |
| Sa[i]nT | rainabba, Well me in particular. I use the wall. But I would like to see some revolutionary stuff. | 09:44 |
| mohkohn | how much ram do you need to run the kubuntu 8.04 KDE4 remix? | 09:44 |
| WGGMk | Enselic: im a bit skidish to uninstall it, im not sure on the negative repercussions from it | 09:44 |
| Sa[i]nT | Like maybe a sphere for starters. | 09:44 |
| tomasko | rainabba: arch linux in my ~ 4-5 years of using a variety of linux distributions is much more simple that ubuntu. in other words, it takes work to screw something up and it doesn't do things for you without you saying you want it to happen | 09:44 |
| dialman | Sa[i]nT: The wall is cool looking, but really I find it to be no more efficient. | 09:44 |
| Eyeful_reader | where xbj9000: ? | 09:45 |
| dialman | Same with the cube.. | 09:45 |
| tomasko | rainabba: there's a strong emphasis on using text files for configuration with straightforward options. it's all very elegant and makes for very fast systems. give it a try if you're frustrated with ubuntu | 09:45 |
| xbj9000 | eyeful_reader: try this: sudo update-alternatives --config java | 09:45 |
| rainabba | dialman: What I'm doing development, I find the cube nice to seperate work/personal/music, but otherwise I agree. | 09:45 |
| Sa[i]nT | dialman, The wall, I don't have to move. The cube is fun to show off to friends, but gets annoying when I switch from the internet to my perl workspace. | 09:45 |
| xbj9000 | eyeful_reader: then enter the number for the sun version | 09:45 |
| rainabba | tomasko: Thanks for the tip. | 09:45 |
| rainabba | So how bout this module "module-alsa-sink"? Where do I get it? | 09:46 |
| rainabba | Google returns 2 results. | 09:46 |
| tomasko | i've never heard of that | 09:47 |
| rainabba | apt-cache search gives me nothing | 09:47 |
| Eyeful_reader | ok | 09:47 |
| tomasko | well a kernel module is something you build | 09:47 |
| tomasko | i doubt a package for one kernel module by itself exists in ubuntu's package repositories | 09:47 |

| krumm | :) | 10:05 |
| adred | hi..is there a hack on how to add the "computer" and "search" functions(dont' know how to call it) into the side pane?or there's already and option that i am missing? | 10:06 |
| JosefAssad | oh nm, I got it from https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/xserver-xorg-input-synaptics/+bug/27724 | 10:06 |
| ubottu | Launchpad bug 27724 in xserver-xorg-input-synaptics "Touchpads should be unaffected by left handed mouse option" [Medium,Confirmed] | 10:06 |
| Jewfro | Krumm, did you need a live CD, or if your just trying to install - try the alternate-install CD | 10:06 |
| ronin12345 | When I run fglrxinfo it returns the correct results but finishes in a Segmentation fault. When I try and play videos in totem I get an error then a segmentation fault | 10:06 |
| xbj9000 | eyeful_reader that looks to me more like an error with their site but I don't understand what it means | 10:06 |
| tomasko | hmm, opera 9.5 has been out for almost 2 weeks. when will it replace opera 9.27 on hardy? | 10:07 |
| Eyeful_reader | yes just some advertiser banner I think | 10:07 |
| xbj9000 | however it looks like it has to do with some ad site you don't care about anyway :/ | 10:07 |
| Eyeful_reader | yes | 10:07 |
| xbj9000 | unfortunate | 10:07 |
| tomasko | it's kind of unfair that firefox 3.0 is available in the repositories but opera 9.5 isn't | 10:07 |
| Eyeful_reader | try opera ;-) | 10:07 |
| tomasko | what? | 10:07 |
| solotim | dlozarie, hi, are you still there? | 10:07 |
| dlozarie | still here. :D | 10:08 |

| solotim | dlozarie, u r welcome. :) | 10:10 |
| DistroJockey | Eyeful_reader, see the following site for more info if needed: http://www.mvps.org/winhelp2002/hosts.htm | 10:10 |
| Dr_Willis_ | aabarg, its installed by default i thought. You may want to be sure your video card drivers 3d support is installed correctly however. | 10:10 |
| DistroJockey | Eyeful_reader, just don't remove any lines from your current hosts file | 10:11 |
| Dasmoover | brb | 10:11 |
| aabarg | willis, i know.. i have also the icon on my bar | 10:11 |
| xbj9000 | eyeful_reader I also suggest using AdBlock Plus plugin for Firefox | 10:11 |
| tomasko | DistroJockey: do that long enough and eventually you'll notice large delays in simple dns requests | 10:11 |
| aabarg | the problem is that i don't know how make the effects work | 10:11 |
| dlozarie | xbj9000, isn't adblock plus that plugin that blocks all kinds of advertisements on webpages? | 10:11 |
| Dr_Willis_ | Eyeful_reader, i second xbj9000 's suggestion. :) | 10:12 |
| DistroJockey | tomasko, might, yeah | 10:12 |
| tomasko | DistroJockey: always better to use kernel based firewall solutions (like iptables rules or ufw for noobs) | 10:12 |
| Dr_Willis_ | dlozarie, yes it is. | 10:12 |
| xbj9000 | yes and it's a must-have | 10:12 |
| Nine76 | hello | 10:12 |
| xbj9000 | HOWEVER you may find that firefox won't let you install any ad-ons | 10:12 |
| dlozarie | hmm. being a blogger, I have to say I sort of despise that plugin, since it can basically decrease my earnings from AdSense, Kontera, AdBrite, etc. lol | 10:12 |
| Dr_Willis_ | Its getting where theres so many ads, that some sites i cent even read, due to the overkill of flashing/annoying ads | 10:12 |
| DistroJockey | tomasko, got a nice guide to do that? | 10:12 |
| xbj9000 | if so, you need to delete something in the firefox folder, I forget at the moment what though | 10:13 |
| Jewfro | dlozarie, as a customer paying for bandwidth - I'm more disturbed by ads | 10:13 |
| Dr_Willis_ | dlozarie, Jewfro has a good point also. | 10:13 |
| xbj9000 | dlozarie..... tooooo bad | 10:13 |
| Nine76 | Hi i'm trying to dual boot xp and ubuntu 8.04 and everything is installed but the grub boot loader wont load windows is still popping up | 10:14 |
| Dr_Willis_ | dlozarie, im more bothered by sites with more ads then contend, and porn ads showing up all over the place. | 10:14 |
| dlozarie | :'( hahaha. | 10:14 |
| Nine76 | they are installed to an sata drive | 10:14 |
| dlozarie | Dr_Willis_, agreed. In my defense, the ads on my site are, for the most part, not intrusive. | 10:14 |
| dlozarie | :) | 10:14 |
| tomasko | DistroJockey: there are many guides online... just search around. none that i'd particularly recommend because i always prefer a thorough read of the subject rather than a custom-tailored guide for one situation | 10:14 |
| ubuntu9732841 | how do i recover deleted files? | 10:14 |
| Dr_Willis_ | dlozarie, i also block all flash by default. | 10:14 |
| antonsky | join #linux.de | 10:15 |
| ubuntu9732841 | wheres that dang bot when u need em | 10:15 |
| Dr_Willis_ | dlozarie, i normally see ONE of those 'double underlined hover ads' on a page.. and then rember to go install adblock... | 10:15 |
| Jewfro | Dr_Willis, I'm right there with you - I refuse to have dancing credit cards wasting my cpu cycles | 10:15 |
| dlozarie | Dr_Willis_, yeah, slows down page loads, annoying, usually useless. | 10:15 |
| Nine76 | how do I get grub to install to the mbr of my sata drive? | 10:15 |
| DistroJockey | tomasko, well, then hosts is easier for noobs | 10:15 |
| ubuntu9732841 | wheres that ubuto bot? | 10:15 |
| ubuntu9732841 | he knows links | 10:15 |
| tomasko | DistroJockey: ufw was created by ubuntu developers to make the interface to iptables easier | 10:15 |
| tomasko | DistroJockey: it's as simple as man ufw | 10:16 |
| dlozarie | Dr_Willis_, you mean the in-text ads? Yes they're normally double-underlined but I put an extra line of code on my Kontera code so that they become single-underline. :) | 10:16 |
| DistroJockey | tomasko, I realise this | 10:16 |
| Dr_Willis_ | dlozarie, i just remove the useless things totally.. Like i need to see an ad for ford.com when i mouse over the word 'car' :) | 10:16 |
| ubuntu9732841 | gimme some links on how to recover deleted files, please help! | 10:16 |

| dlozarie | Swiftdove, eh? | 10:20 |

| xbj9000 | I just have a comcast email and a couple others, nothing I run | 10:22 |
| tomasko | is there a way to send out larger packets on an already established tcp connection? | 10:23 |
| tomasko | my feeling is that if i increase the size of the packets, the total number of packets transmitted will decrease, and the associated overhead costs will drop | 10:23 |
| xbj9000 | no idea | 10:23 |
| Nine76 | can someone help me get grub going? | 10:24 |
| xbj9000 | I have to get some sleep lol, the gun show is tomorrow | 10:24 |
| Dr_Willis_ | Nine76, You could set the pc to boot off the ide drive. | 10:24 |
| tomasko | sounds explosive. enjoy. i'm turning in as well. good night | 10:24 |
| Nine76 | dr_willis: I tried that but it say grub loading then error 22 | 10:25 |
| xbj9000 | oh sata problem, you have to change the hd(0,0) part in menu.lst but I forget how | 10:25 |
| xbj9000 | it gives it the wrong numbers | 10:25 |
| xbj9000 | so look into that, and goodnight all :) | 10:25 |
| Paulao | i just read at the internet, that when you are going to install a program in linux, you have to compile, using make and make install.... since the programs are made in a wide range of programming languages, make and make install compiles programs in any language ? | 10:25 |
| Nine76 | that and it installs to the ide instead | 10:25 |
| Dr_Willis_ | Nine76, yea like xbj9000 says. grub numbers the drives differently,. and starts at 0. It pays to read the grub homepage/docs and learn the ins and outs of grub. It can be a bit annoying at changing the menu.lst from a live cd till you get it right. | 10:26 |
| Nine76 | will i still have to boot off the ide? | 10:26 |
| Dr_Willis_ | Nine76, you can edit the grub boot lines from the grub menus with the 'e' key or use the grub shell to explore and see what drives and files grub is seeing where. | 10:26 |
| Chrysalis | can i have cli show hidden files instead of having to type ls -a every time? | 10:26 |
| Dr_Willis_ | Nine76, You could use the setup command from the shell to put grub on the other hd;s | 10:27 |
| Nine76 | let me load the live cd | 10:27 |
| DistroJockey | Paulao, if you get source code, yes. But Ubuntu has many programs you can install using the package managers | 10:27 |
| Dr_Willis_ | Chrysalis, alias ll='ls -al' | 10:27 |
| Dr_Willis_ | Chrysalis, then use ll. :) | 10:27 |
| dlozarie | hmm. greasemonkey can't be the culprit, since even with greasemonkey disabled, Ff still crashes. | 10:28 |
| Dr_Willis_ | Chrysalis, you could do alias ls='ls -a' but that can cause confusion at times. | 10:28 |

Im fairly new to linux so sorry if this problem is really stupid | 10:32 |
| Dr_Willis_ | Nine76, i always have to go back to the grub homepage and review the docs for grub to rember the details. it has some sort of filename completion feature as well | 10:32 |
| Dr_Willis_ | Nine76, theres like a find command, or locate command. | 10:33 |
| dlozarie | how does one go about installing libflashsupport? | 10:33 |
| Nine76 | dr_willis_: find filename but I want to find hard drives | 10:33 |
| Dr_Willis_ | Nine76, and you can do things like setup <TAB> and it will list the drives/partitions | 10:33 |
| Dr_Willis_ | Nine76, you want to look for the file ON the hard drive. to see how its nameing them | 10:33 |
| Nine76 | dr_willis_: tab just made a space | 10:33 |
| conb123 | dlozarie: go into accesories, terminal and type sudo apt-get install libflashsupport | 10:34 |
| Dr_Willis_ | you are not using a command that has completion, or wrong command perhaps. | 10:34 |
| Nine76 | dr_willis_: I don't know and filename | 10:34 |
| Dr_Willis_ | Nine76, look for menu.lst :) | 10:34 |
| Nine76 | dr_willis_: i typed setup and hit tab liek u said nothing | 10:34 |
| Dr_Willis_ | Nine76, setup installs grub to a specific hd. | 10:35 |

| gordonjcp | conb123: which one is that? | 10:42 |
| Mr_Rabies2 | aha i think i figured out my issue | 10:42 |
| Sa[i]nT | iNES36-Linux-Ubuntu-bin | 10:42 |
| conb123 | starbucks: that should be it just press ctrl, alt and click to spin it around | 10:42 |
| Kitu | what is glad ? | 10:42 |
| Mr_Rabies2 | ubuntu was installing system updates DURING the OS install, which was breaking networking | 10:42 |
| Sa[i]nT | That should clue ya in. | 10:42 |
| dlozarie | do any of you guys use custom themes? if so, which ones? | 10:43 |
| conb123 | gordonjcp: i think its called nestra | 10:43 |
| Kitu | dlozarie, what is glad ? | 10:43 |
| Nine76 | ok idk what to do all I want is it to boot off the right drive and work | 10:43 |
| Sa[i]nT | I use Vision Black for Emerald. | 10:43 |
| dlozarie | oh, that was just the ubottu bot being happy because you're in the channel. :) | 10:43 |
| starbucks | yey I got it thanks guys...I needed to enable rotate cube! :P | 10:43 |
| Kitu | Sa[i]nT, are u french ? | 10:43 |
| alakdan | hi, how do you find out which package a file belongs to? | 10:43 |
| samphippen | when i booted this morning i got a resolution my monitor cannot use, so i did an x fix and now the highest resolution i can use is 800*600 on a 1280*1024 screen, my graphics card is an nvidia 7600gt can anyone help me fix x? | 10:43 |
| dlozarie | starbucks, yes. yes you did. hehe. congrats! | 10:43 |
| Dr_Willis_ | Yes - the cube is critical for proper ubuntu ussage. :) | 10:44 |
| Sa[i]nT | Kitu, Nope, I am not. | 10:44 |
| starbucks | dlozarie: Hehe :P | 10:44 |
| error404notfound | how can I check if the following are installed: a web server, a ftp server, ssh server, imap, pop3, smtp? | 10:44 |
| Kitu | Sa[i]nT, "saint" = san | 10:44 |
| Nine76 | i'm about to give up on ubuntu | 10:44 |
| DistroJockey | dlozarie, Darklooks + Jungle or Oxygen | 10:44 |
| Dr_Willis_ | error404notfound, they are not on a normal ubuntu install | 10:44 |
| Dr_Willis_ | Nine76, it pays to learn grub if you want to use linux. | 10:44 |
| dlozarie | DistroJockey, gnome-look.org right? | 10:44 |
| Nine76 | well grub is the default install | 10:44 |
| error404notfound | Dr_Willisy_: yes, that's correct... | 10:44 |
| Sa[i]nT | Kitu, Saint means alot of things. | 10:44 |
| DistroJockey | dlozarie, yep | 10:44 |
| Mr_Rabies2 | samphippen: from my experience it's gonna require messing with xorg.conf, but someone else may have a better option, i'm still a newbie at this :( | 10:45 |
| dlozarie | okay checking it out. :) | 10:45 |
| === kerren is now known as cheline | ||
| Nine76 | u would think the setup work install it to the same drive i installed ubuntu to | 10:45 |
| DistroJockey | dlozarie, Darklooks is in gnome-themes-extra | 10:45 |
| Dr_Willis_ | Nine76, often the use of ide and sata drives confuses things.. and the fact you booted from a live cd, and not a hd. can confuse things. I had similer issues with my sata/ide system | 10:45 |
| Nine76 | so what do I do? | 10:45 |
| Dr_Willis_ | Nine76, what i did the 2nd time was unplugged one of the hd's when i installed. :) | 10:45 |
| Hermes | Do any of you use Windows? | 10:45 |
| error404notfound | Dr_Willis_: but doesn't address my question... I wanna check if they are installed on a remote system or not... Plus its not necessary that they would be running... then its not necessary that web server is always apache, so doing dpkg -l | grep apache won't work :P | 10:46 |
| Dr_Willis_ | Nine76, or learn how grub works and fix it. | 10:46 |
| Nine76 | can i unplug the other drives and install then plug them back in? | 10:46 |
| Nine76 | or will that screw up the numbers | 10:46 |
| Dr_Willis_ | Nine76, thats how i did it. :) | 10:46 |
| Nine76 | ok i was thinking it wouldn't work | 10:46 |
| Dr_Willis_ | Nine76, its possible.. but its hard to tell. | 10:46 |
| Dr_Willis_ | Nine76, or install grub to every hd. and fix the menu.lst to have the proper hd2,2 type numbers for the location of linux | 10:46 |
| adred | hi, will it do any harm if i delete the "trash" folder and make a new one again? cos there are files in it right that i am not able to remove. maybe there's a bug or something... | 10:47 |
| Dr_Willis_ | Nine76, grub is FUN! :) | 10:47 |
| Nine76 | well its seeing my sata as sdc and my ide as sda and sdb | 10:47 |
| conb123 | damn how hard can it be to play super mario bros on linux does anyone know of any decent nes emus | 10:47 |
| Nine76 | menu.lst has hd2,2 | 10:47 |
| Sa[i]nT | http://i157.photobucket.com/albums/t74/Saint_Belmont/myscreenshot.png | 10:47 |
| Sa[i]nT | Best emerald theme. | 10:47 |
| Sa[i]nT | lol. | 10:47 |
| soum91 | exit | 10:47 |
| Dr_Willis_ | Nine76, so you have 3 hard drives total.. be CAREFULL durung install that you do not get some of the sd#'s mixxed up and reformat the wrong drive. | 10:47 |
| soum91 | quit | 10:47 |
| Nine76 | i don't | 10:48 |
| Dr_Willis_ | Nine76, i accidently formated/intalled to the wrogn hd.. once. ;) | 10:48 |
| Nine76 | the sata is sdc | 10:48 |
| starbucks | Guys howcome I can't set my reslution to higher on ubuntu? When on vista I can set it to 1280*1024 please | 10:48 |
| Nine76 | although i loaded the sabayon install and it was sda | 10:48 |
| Dr_Willis_ | Nine76, if you boot off the sata it may become 'sda' from what ive seen on some machines | 10:48 |
| Dr_Willis_ | Nine76, if you boot off an ide drive.. IT may become sda | 10:48 |
| Nine76 | i tried booting from ide | 10:48 |
| BonezAU | Hai | 10:48 |
| Dr_Willis_ | Nine76, and yes.. this has caused much confusion to me in the past. | 10:49 |
| Nine76 | grub didn't load right said error 22 | 10:49 |
| Dr_Willis_ | Nine76, and what does error 22 mean? | 10:49 |
| mrynit | cd /; ls -R takes up alot of cpu | 10:49 |
| Nine76 | idk i'm jsut trying to install somethign someone told me was easy | 10:49 |

| AnAnt | Hello, isn't there a vncserver on Hardy ? | 10:49 |
| Dr_Willis_ | Nine76, from the grub docs --> 22 : No such partition | 10:50 |
| Dr_Willis_ | This error is returned if a partition is requested in the device part of a device- or full file name which isn't on the | 10:50 |
| unop | starbucks, you might need to see if you can get better drivers for your graphics card | 10:50 |
| Dr_Willis_ | Nine76, that tells me that grub was looking on the wrong hd for the files.. ie not hd(2,2) | 10:50 |
| andycan | How to build so that it downloads all the dependences itself? | 10:50 |
| AnAnt | there used to be a package called vncserver on Gutsy | 10:50 |
| dlozarie | starbucks, do you have that effect where the windows become springy/jiggly? | 10:50 |
| DistroJockey | dlozarie, here's a screenshot of mine: http://i28.tinypic.com/1pv6o3.png | 10:50 |
| unop | andycan, run something like. sudo apt-get build-dep packagename first .. then do the build process | 10:50 |
| Nine76 | Dr_Willis_: but i did find and it says hd2,2 | 10:50 |
| Dr_Willis_ | Nine76, and what does menu.lst have grub looking for? is it hd2,2? or someplace else? | 10:51 |
| Nine76 | Dr_Willis_: hd2,2 | 10:51 |
| Dasmoover | hey can anyone help me with my gui? xclient ession doesn't boot anything I can only get gui is with failsafe gnome. | 10:51 |
| samphippen | Dasmoover, what graphics card do you have? | 10:51 |
| Dr_Willis_ | Nine76, ive edited the menu.lst befor and cloned an entry so it had hd1,2 and hd2,2 and hd0,2 in the past. :) and tried them all | 10:51 |
| gordonjcp | conb123: I've got that thing to compile, whether it works or not is another story | 10:52 |
| Dr_Willis_ | Nine76, i would be wondering if you booted from that hd. if it did not infact need hd0,2 instead of 2.2 | 10:52 |
| andycan | How to build so that it downloads all the dependences itself? | 10:52 |
| Dr_Willis_ | Nine76, you could edit the boot lines from grub and change the #;s and try the other ones | 10:52 |
| Nine76 | hmm | 10:52 |
| unop | andycan, did you read what i said to you? | 10:52 |
| dlozarie | DistroJockey, nice! what theme is this? Jungle? | 10:52 |
| Nine76 | grub doesn't load tho | 10:52 |
| Nine76 | i need to install it to the sata | 10:53 |
| DistroJockey | dlozarie, Darklooks with Jungle Green and a background I found somewhere | 10:53 |
| conb123 | gordonjcp: oh i gave up im trying out some other ones | 10:53 |
| andycan | unop: sorry | 10:53 |
| TheHodge | Good morning all, im running a network with windows, mac and ubuntu, i've got ubuntu server installed and want my .local addresses to route to it... i've set up ubuntu to resolve myproject.local and it works on the local machine, however the other OS's don't see it, i've manaully added it to the hosts in windows with the correct IP address, am I missing a step? | 10:53 |
| Nine76 | Dr_Willis_: oh when i load from ide grub menu doesn't even load | 10:53 |
| Nine76 | gives error 22 before the menu even loads | 10:54 |
| gordonjcp | conb123: so far if you comment out the "perror" lines and replace them with "printf("some message\n");" it compiles | 10:54 |
| rainabba | TheHodge: Are the other machines using DNS running on your ubuntu box (where .local is defined) ? | 10:54 |
| unop | TheHodge, you'll need to setup a DNS server so that it resolves the .local domain properly | 10:54 |
| sudobash | something strange is going on... I took all day de-fragging and consolidating free space on my ntfs partition so I didnt loose any data and the partition resizing would work... So I also did a ChkDsk /R /F so everything would go smooth... everything did... partition resized correctly and is working perfect (8.04 alt cd), even got the Eyecandy working after only 5 minutes after doing all upgrades first.... the installation can see t | 10:54 |
| sudobash | he XP partition which was resized to 99GB and gave the rest to ubuntu... only like 70 out of the 99 is full on the ntfs... what is strange is that this driver is a 160 GB I JUST LOOKED THE DRIVE ITSELF BECAUSE I DIDNT BELIVE IT..... Ubuntu is saying that I have a 200GB HD when XP said 149... | 10:54 |
| TheHodge | rainabba: theres nothing else running dns | 10:54 |
| sudobash | 160 grows to 200? | 10:54 |
| TheHodge | unop i've had a look at the manual but I can only find information with DNS + Bind | 10:54 |
| sudobash | wtf? | 10:55 |
| rainabba | TheHodge: Didn't catch the "hosts" bit first read. This is one LAN right? | 10:55 |
| TheHodge | nothing for network traffic | 10:55 |
| TheHodge | yeah | 10:55 |
| andycan | unop: your syntax just checks for dependencies? | 10:55 |
| Nine76 | Dr_Willis_: oh when i load from ide grub menu doesn't even load | 10:55 |
| Nine76 | Dr_Willis_: gives error 22 before the menu even loads | 10:55 |
| sudobash | it has to be a partitioner error right? | 10:55 |
| starbucks | dlozarie: Yes I have the wobble effect on why? | 10:55 |
| sudobash | a driver cant just grow like that because it is in good health and 0 fragments | 10:55 |
| sudobash | drive* | 10:55 |
| dlozarie | starbucks, looks fun eh? LOL | 10:55 |
| rainabba | TheHodge: On the Windows machine, run "nslookup" and type your hostname. See if it resolves there. Then make sure you can ping the IP. THEN try to ping by hostname. Tell us which fails. | 10:55 |
| Dr__willis__ | Nine76, sounds like the drives are getting reordered around big time. | 10:55 |
| Nine76 | Dr_Willis_: yes it does | 10:56 |
| samphippen | guys, i'm not getting my full resolution in hardy heron, i'm only getting 800*600 on a 1280*1024 screen, my graphics card is an nvidia 7600gt can somone help please? | 10:56 |
| starbucks | dlozarie: Yeah lol...but I can't change my resolution now :( | 10:56 |
| dlozarie | I also love how the cube looks when you drag a window to the right/left of one desktop. LOL | 10:56 |
| Eyeful_reader | http://pastebin.ca/1052858 from http://chatshack.net/34rth anyone please ? | 10:56 |
| dlozarie | starbucks, what? why? | 10:56 |
| unop | TheHodge, DNS is needed to get clients to resolve hosts in the .local domain right .. you can do it with the hosts file but it's problematic if you decide to change ip addresses or hostnames .. bind is the way to go | 10:56 |
| starbucks | dlozarie: I don't know its just been like that ever since I enabled compiz | 10:56 |
| LordFlashy | I'm getting crazy flickering in opengl games, someone told me earlier to change ccsm and it seemed to work but now I've rebooted, it's back. is there some way to permanantly turn that junk off? | 10:56 |
| TheHodge | nslookup brings back Can't find server name for address 192.168.1.4: No response from server | 10:56 |
| unop | andycan, no, it installs the libraries/dependencies needed to build your package from source | 10:56 |
| TheHodge | I can ping the ip | 10:56 |
| dlozarie | starbucks, hmm, weird... don't have knowledge bwt compiz tho, so I'm afraid I can't help you w/ that. | 10:57 |
| unop | TheHodge, Is that server (192.168.1.4) setup to deal with the .local domain? | 10:57 |
| TheHodge | yep | 10:57 |
| TheHodge | and it resolves on the local machine | 10:57 |
| Sa[i]nT | AFK for a while, futurama's on. | 10:57 |
| starbucks | dlozarie: Well I don't know if it 100% is compiz though...I just don't understand why I can no longer get the higher resolutions I used to get... | 10:57 |
| Jordan_U | Can bluray video be losslessly transcoded to h.264? | 10:57 |
| samphippen | guys, i'm not getting my full resolution in hardy heron, i'm only getting 800*600 on a 1280*1024 screen, my graphics card is an nvidia 7600gt can somone help please? | 10:58 |
| Nine76 | Dr_Willis_: ok i'm unplugging them | 10:58 |
| sudobash | if a HDD says it grows from 160 to 200 GB then it is a partitioner error right? | 10:58 |
| andycan | unop: It just told me that: "E: Build-dependencies for pidgin could not be satisfied." | 10:58 |
| unop | TheHodge, thats not the same thing, you'll need to configure it to load the .local zone file and perhaps also get DHCP to map ip addresses to hostnames and vice-versa in the .local domain | 10:58 |
| unop | andycan, i have to go now .. get someone to review the complete output you have there | 10:59 |
| Nine76 | Dr_Willis_: ok now how do I install grub to the mbr now that i just have the one drive? | 11:00 |
| rainabba | TheHodge: If someone else hasn't already said, .local domain in Linux can be a problem if avhi (or a service by a similar name) is running. I had to kill that service on my install so that unbuntu would play nice with my Windows domain. | 11:01 |
| kate_mins | Hello , I need help please , i would like to kill process from php , i created script with this line : exec("kill `ps axuf | grep socket_server |head -1 | awk '{ print $2 }'`"); when i run the script from the terminal (php script.php) its working fine , but its not working from the apache server ? | 11:01 |

| andrea | st | 11:01 |
| andycan | why doesnt sudo apt-get build-dep program doesnt work? Just gives me that build dependecies could not be satisfied | 11:02 |
| sudobash | no one believes me... but I'm serious... | 11:02 |
| Jordan_U | kate_mins, Is there some reason you are not using pkill ? | 11:02 |
| neyroh | hey @ all | 11:03 |
| dlozarie | DistroJockey, that gnome-themes-extra you mentioned earlier, how do I get that? | 11:03 |
| TheHodge | rainabba thanks | 11:04 |
| * delcoyote hi | 11:04 | |
| Raptore_ | hi neyroh | 11:04 |
| StvRndy | hi.. | 11:04 |
| Jordan_U | kate_mins, ps may give different output if it sees that stdin is coming from an interactive terminal ( though I would not expect it too ) | 11:04 |
| TheHodge | im just trying to look for something that will walk me through it a bit more step by step so I know what im doing :) | 11:04 |
| andycan | why doesnt sudo apt-get build-dep program doesnt work? Just gives me that build dependecies could not be satisfied | 11:04 |
| Jordan_U | kate_mins, Does "pkill socket_server" work? | 11:04 |
| DistroJockey | dlozarie, sudo apt-get install gnome-themes-extras | 11:05 |
| Morrowyn | hello | 11:05 |
| dlozarie | DistroJockey, ah so that was what was missing-- "install". lol. kthx distrojockey! | 11:05 |
| kate_mins | Jordan_U: yes , i will try to add this command to my php script & check if its works from apache | 11:05 |
| DistroJockey | dlozarie, sorry, forgot the s on extra on my first | 11:05 |
| Nine76 | Dr_Willis_: ok so when i type setup (tab it puts in hd0, which partition do I want i'm assuming the linux one? | 11:05 |

| conb123 | oops wrong one sorry | 11:06 |
| DistroJockey | dlozarie, you will need to patch Darklooks slightly though | 11:06 |
| gordonjcp | conb123: weird | 11:06 |
| conb123 | sorry | 11:06 |
| zelrikriando | my computer stopped by itself Oo | 11:06 |
| dlozarie | DistroJockey, okay. :D | 11:07 |
| zelrikriando | I didnt do anything | 11:07 |
| gordonjcp | conb123: is it possible that the fwnes file in your directory there is really a script, with a path to something that doesn't exist? | 11:07 |
| dlozarie | zelrikriando, 'puters do that. ;) | 11:07 |
| conb123 | hi does anybody know why this is happening http://i27.tinypic.com/10ylxys.jpg | 11:07 |
| zelrikriando | dlozarie, it s ubuntu's fault | 11:07 |
| kate_mins | Jordan_U: not working :( , when i run the script from the command line (php script.php) its working , but when i run the script from the browser (using apache server) its not working, its seems that there is no user rights to the apache to use kill or pkill commands ? | 11:07 |
| conb123 | gordonjcp: yes it could be ill check it out | 11:07 |
| Jordan_U | kate_mins, It may have rights to use the commands but no rights to kill that process | 11:07 |
| dlozarie | zelrikriando, orly? specifically, how? | 11:08 |
| kate_mins | Jordan_U: how i can solve this problem ? | 11:08 |
| zelrikriando | dlozarie, it just shutted down... | 11:08 |
| dlozarie | zelrikriando, uh-huh. and how can you tell Ubuntu is at fault? :) | 11:09 |
| zelrikriando | I was watching a video on internet...then my OS decided that it was time to sleep | 11:09 |
| zelrikriando | dlozarie, my hardware works fine :p | 11:09 |
| DistroJockey | dlozarie, you will need to edit /usr/share/themes/Darklooks/gtk-2.0/gtkrc and change @tooltip_bg_color and @tooltip_fg_color to @tooltips_bg_color and @tooltips_fg_color | 11:09 |
| Jordan_U | kate_mins, This is an interesting security issue and at this point you should be careful what you do because you could create a vulnerability that would extend the damage that can be done if your script is exploited | 11:10 |
| Nine76 | Dr_Willis_: ok wth windows is still starting up | 11:10 |
| dlozarie | zelrikriando, lol and you're sure it's not some program in Ubuntu and not Ubuntu itself? | 11:10 |
| ronin12345 | I installed the newest version of flgrx but seems intall has some problems it seems that everything that uses glx will have a segmentation fault. The biggest problem this causes is video won't play. Anyone know how to fix this? | 11:10 |
| dlozarie | DistroJockey, kthx. | 11:10 |
| zelrikriando | dlozarie, which program? | 11:10 |
| DistroJockey | dlozarie, you're welcome :) | 11:11 |
| kate_mins | Jordan_U: its for local use :) (i am run the script on computer which not connected to the net - development computer) | 11:11 |
| bartmon | Hey! How can i quickly concatenate multiple audio tracks into one long file? | 11:12 |
| zelrikriando | dlozarie, I just had pidgin FF and xchat opened | 11:12 |
| Nine76 | ok i don't think ubuntu is going to run on my machine | 11:12 |
| polter | any way to get nm-applet 0.7 installed on Hardy? | 11:12 |
| Jordan_U | kate_mins, Ahh, then make a setuid script which is owned by a user which has rights to kill the process and contains only "#!/bin/sh <newline> pkill socket_server" | 11:13 |
| ronin12345 | Does using Envy ever fix problems with Fglrx? | 11:13 |
| dlozarie | zelrikriando, hmm. has this ubuntu crash happened more than once? or, can you replicate the shutdown? | 11:13 |
| poisonkiller | how can i use "cd" command in terminal, if the folder name has a spacebar in it? | 11:14 |
| tillux | bartmon: try importing the tracks in audacity | 11:14 |
| zelrikriando | dlozarie, first time | 11:14 |
| dlozarie | zelrikriando, and it hasn't happened again since? | 11:14 |
| tillux | poisonkiller: either cd "/a b/c d/e f" or with \ in it | 11:15 |
| dlozarie | DistroJockey, /usr/share/ doesn't exist? | 11:15 |
| Jordan_U | ronin12345, Yes, it sometimes does help because it usually installs a newer version that may have fixed the bug you are experiencing | 11:15 |
| tillux | like... cd /a \b/c \d/ | 11:15 |
| dlozarie | DistroJockey, scratch that. found it. :) | 11:15 |
| DistroJockey | dlozarie, good :) | 11:15 |
| bartmon | tillux: Thanks, I've done so already. Now I just don't know how to make tem consecutive and not parallel | 11:15 |
| tillux | poisonkiller: or, the easiest way, just start writing the directory name, then hit TAB to complete it ;) | 11:15 |
| poisonkiller | tillux: thanks, that did the trick | 11:16 |
| dlozarie | DistroJockey, uhm "You do not have the permissions necessary to save the file. Please check that you typed the location correctly and try again." ? | 11:16 |
| tillux | bartmon: use the ... i don't know what it's called in english... something like time-shifting-tool ;D | 11:16 |
| wormeater | hi guys... | 11:16 |
| wormeater | how can i skin my ubuntu? | 11:17 |
| DistroJockey | dlozarie, yeah, you will need to edit it with sudo | 11:17 |
| wormeater | or put a theme in it? | 11:17 |
| tillux | bartmon: it is located in the toolbar next to the record button | 11:17 |
| DistroJockey | dlozarie, make a copy first just incase | 11:17 |
| andycan | why doesnt sudo apt-get build-dep program doesnt work? Just gives me that build dependecies could not be satisfied!!!!!! | 11:17 |
| andycan | This is making me crazy! | 11:17 |
| tillux | bartmon: that one, that looks like a resize-cursor | 11:17 |
| dlozarie | DistroJockey, okay. | 11:17 |
| dlozarie | how do I edit it with sudo? | 11:18 |
| tillux | andycan: funny ^^. well, did you already do apt-get build-essential ? | 11:18 |
| DistroJockey | dlozarie, gksudo gedit /usr/share etc | 11:18 |
| Jordan_U | kate_mins, Actually scratch that, I forgot that shell scripts cannot be setuid :) | 11:18 |
| Starnestommy | andycan: you might need to manually resolve dependencies | 11:18 |
| DistroJockey | dlozarie, via alt+f2 | 11:18 |
| dlozarie | DistroJockey, oh..okay thanks. :D | 11:18 |
| DistroJockey | dlozarie, no problem :) | 11:19 |
| bartmon | tillux: thanks, that seems to work! :) | 11:19 |
| dlozarie | hmmm, weird... I ran sudo edit usr/share/themes/Darklooks/gtk-2.0/gtkrc in terminal and it says no write permission | 11:20 |
| DistroJockey | dlozarie, use alt+f2 and gksudo gedit | 11:20 |
| DistroJockey | dlozarie, and /usr | 11:21 |
| tillux | dlozarie: what do you want to do? | 11:21 |
| andycan | Starnestommy: I have to manually run .configure until i get all dependencies? Also it doesnt tell the exact package name to get | 11:21 |
| DistroJockey | tillux, we just fixing Darklooks bug | 11:21 |
| * afallenhope cleans the wax out of his ears so he can hear the faint strains of “Friends Don't Let Friends Dial” by Plain White T's from Every Second Counts «amarok_xchat - 1.4» | 11:21 | |
| afallenhope | oops sorry | 11:21 |
| zelrikriando | dlozarie, no | 11:21 |
| Starnestommy | andycan: just tell me what it says it needs and I'll try to figure out which package is needed | 11:22 |
| zelrikriando | dlozarie, I am suspecting the flash video I was watching...not sure | 11:22 |
| Jordan_U | kate_mins, You could create a simple c program that does system("pkill socket_server") and make that setuid there is probably a simpler way someone more knowledgeable can give but that should work | 11:22 |
| bartmon | tillux: Ugh, I have like 60 tracks to do this with. Is there any tool which does this timeshifting automatically? | 11:22 |

| andycan | Starnestommy: No thats ok. IT needs glib but its a hell to find it in synaptic because the search results gives me over 100 results | 11:23 |

| andycan | Starnestommy: isnt there a command for .configure or make that will check the dependencies and install them? | 11:24 |
| dlozarie | DistroJockey, gksudo edit usr/share/themes/Darklooks/gtk-2.0/gtkrc, still can't save. | 11:24 |
| DistroJockey | dlozarie, you need a / infront of usr | 11:24 |
| Starnestommy | andycan: apt-get build-dep <packagename> should do it, but if it doesn't you'll need to manually install dependencies | 11:25 |
| DistroJockey | dlozarie, and I would use gedit instead of edit | 11:25 |
| dlozarie | DistroJockey, oh. okay, tnx. :D | 11:25 |
| kate_mins | Jordan_U: BRB | 11:26 |
| DistroJockey | dlozarie, np | 11:26 |
| Jordan_U | andycan, You can look at the files which the configure script asks for and find the package which contains them with apt-file | 11:26 |
| dlozarie | DistroJockey, sorry to be bugging ya, but still can't save man. :( | 11:27 |
| DistroJockey | dlozarie, ok, sec | 11:27 |
| zelrikriando | hey how can I fix the [fail] that I get when I boot | 11:28 |
| Starnestommy | zelrikriando: what else does it say with that [fail]? | 11:28 |
| zelrikriando | Starnestommy, I cannot write things down fast | 11:28 |
| anipy | we have an ubuntu server (192.168.1.10) and i use a notebook to access this server (192.168.1.120) if in the office, SSH and remote login in XDMP. out of office i use VPN (which works), but i can't access the remote features of the server any more. maybe because over VPN the notebook has a 192.168.100.5 address? what do i have to change on the server? something in /etc/host.allowed? | 11:28 |
| Simon_S | HI, does anybody have the rt2500 wlan chip running with xen?? | 11:29 |
| DistroJockey | dlozarie, gksudo gedit /usr/share/themes/Darklooks/gtk-2.0/gtkrc askes for a password and lets me save it | 11:29 |
| Starnestommy | zelrikriando: try pressing ctrl+alt+F1 to look at the system console, then use ctrl+alf+F7 to go back to the desktop | 11:29 |
| dlozarie | DistroJockey, okay Imma try it. | 11:30 |
| tillux | humm. the guys over there at #winehq are not really helpful...I just want to apply the patches from http://repo.or.cz/w/wine/hacks.git to the wine source and build it... "read man patch". funny | 11:30 |
| jvm | hi. maybe someone can give me a little hint: i've two hard disks, one with a windows mbr and one with a grub mbr. both work, if i chose them as default boot device in my bios. now i want to configure grub to load my windows system, on the other hard disk. hd0 is the linux hard disk, hd1 has to be the windows hard disk (i figured, since, in my linux system, sda5 is my linux partition, and sdb1 is win). i added the following entries to my menu.lst: t | 11:30 |
| jvm | itle Win, rootnoverify (hd1, 0), makeactive, chainloader +1. it does not work. grub tells me "Starting up." if i chose the windows entry, but then nothing happens. what am i doing wrong? | 11:30 |
| zelrikriando | Starnestommy, then?? | 11:30 |
| Starnestommy | zelrikriando: look for any messages in the system console that have [fail] in them | 11:31 |
| dlozarie | DistroJockey, it works! apparently I'd only typed in sudo and not gksudo. thanks for the time. now, to apply the theme... | 11:31 |
| DistroJockey | dlozarie, :) | 11:31 |
| zelrikriando | Starnestommy, how | 11:31 |
| Paulao | when i go to System, Add/remove.. im actually opening wich program ? synaptic ? | 11:31 |
| Starnestommy | zelrikriando: ctrl+alt+f1 | 11:31 |
| zelrikriando | Starnestommy, then? | 11:32 |
| Starnestommy | zelrikriando: or try looking through the output of dmesg | 11:32 |
| zelrikriando | Oo | 11:32 |
| Harde | I need help with my conky | 11:32 |
| tillux | Paulao: /usr/bin/gnome-app-install | 11:32 |
| Harde | When I try to add conky weather to my conky, I get sort of streched window | 11:33 |
| Harde | What could be wrong | 11:33 |
| the_eraser | hi what's the difference b/w /mnt and /media ?? | 11:33 |
| dlozarie | DistroJockey, halp again! lol sorry for being so annoyin so I go to appearance and then install but it says index.theme aint a valid theme. | 11:33 |
| Starnestommy | the_eraser: /media is automatically managed, but /mnt isn't | 11:33 |
| the_eraser | Starnestommy: thx :) | 11:34 |
| Paulao | when i go to System, Add/remove.. im actually opening wich program ? synaptic ? | 11:34 |
| tillux | Paulao: yes and no... the program you are opening is /usr/bin/gnome-app-install | 11:34 |
| Starnestommy | Paulao: it's not synaptic | 11:34 |
| DistroJockey | dlozarie, what I did was install gnome-themes-extras then dragged and dropped the Jungle.tar.gz from where I downloaded it onto that window | 11:34 |
| DistroJockey | dlozarie, after selecting Darklooks | 11:35 |
| Paulao | tillux thanks... apt-get and aptitude they come from wich distro ? | 11:35 |
| Jack_Sparrow | Paulao debian package managers | 11:35 |
| tillux | Paulao: I don't know... debian? | 11:35 |
| Starnestommy | Paulao: apt-get and aptitude originally came from debian, but ubuntu also has them because it is based on debian | 11:36 |
| Paulao | Starnestommy i see.. what the difference between them ? | 11:36 |
| starbucks | Hey guys im having a few problems with my Ubuntu. I can't set destop backgrounds from the internet for some reason...also I cannot change my resolution. Please help..thanks | 11:36 |
| === cens0red is now known as NatSwatter | ||
| Starnestommy | Paulao: aptitude is a bit bigger, but it has an interactive console-based interface, has some extra functions, and is better at resolving conflicts | 11:37 |
| Jack_Sparrow | Paulao Aptitude will install recommends along with the actual package you are installing. apt-get will not.. both track dependencies | 11:37 |
| ronin12345 | how do I completely uninstall the ati drivers so i can try and start again? | 11:39 |
| === NatSwatter is now known as cens0red | ||
| Claw6 | hello im new to ubuntu (xubuntu) or even linux and just want to say that if you are not a gamer it rocks =) thx for this OS | 11:40 |
| mnemo | ronin12345: maybe you can "sudo apt-get remove" some package and then install it again? or maybe it's sufficient to just do "apt-get install --reinstall package_name" (i've not tested that with graphics drivers though, anything could happen ;> ) | 11:40 |
| SGBX7 | Anyone have input on recovering two partitions that seem to have vanished into thin air? (well, at least as far as gparted is concerned) | 11:41 |
| loz | hello | 11:42 |
| tillux | Claw6: since "wine" is final (version 1.0), a lot of games can be run with linux, sometimes even faster than with windows ;) | 11:42 |
| loz | anybody here on this fine sunday after noon? | 11:43 |
| tillux | ronin12345: sudo apt-get purge drivername | 11:43 |
| gordonjcp | lots of people here | 11:43 |
| DistroJockey | dlozarie, any luck? btw: here's the clean background image - http://i30.tinypic.com/21bukhg.png | 11:43 |
| gordonjcp | loz: and it's still morning | 11:43 |
| Jack_Sparrow | SGBX7 does sudo fdisk -l show them | 11:43 |
| starbucks | tillux: Hey what is wine please and like what games are we talking here please? | 11:43 |
| loz | depends which continent your on... | 11:43 |
| Jack_Sparrow | !appdb | 11:43 |
| ubottu | The Wine Application DB is a database of applications and help for !Windows programs that run under !WINE: http://appdb.winehq.org | 11:43 |
| SGBX7 | Jack_Sparrow: fdisk -l was having no effect | 11:43 |
| Claw6 | i know tilux but emulation is always a problem | 11:43 |
| dlozarie | DistroJockey, nope, since I dloaded the gnome-themes-extras via terminal, I'm not sure I have a .tar.gz file. | 11:43 |
| SGBX7 | Jack_Sparrow: from the livecd | 11:43 |
| starbucks | tillux: You could just have made my day if this means I can run the sims on linux! xD | 11:43 |
| Claw6 | on my eeepc 701 i cant even run starcraft (1998) | 11:44 |
| loz | has anyone got a nvidia 8500 gt working on Ubuntu s latest distro? | 11:44 |
| tillux | starbucks: WINE: Wine Is Not an Emulator ... is there a trigger for wine in here? | 11:44 |
| Jack_Sparrow | SGBX7 you may need all generic ide option on command line | 11:44 |
| loz | mine works in a fashion | 11:44 |
| marvloge | i have 8600gt it works | 11:44 |
| Claw6 | starbucks you can run it =) | 11:44 |
| marvloge | but i cant get my FN buttons to work | 11:44 |
| DistroJockey | dlozarie, the extra themes should be fine and listed in the System - Preferences - Appearance area. Then you get the Jungle.tar.gz from www.gnome-looks.org | 11:44 |
| Claw6 | if you have the performance for emulation | 11:45 |
| loz | marvolge: have you got the appearence tweaks on yours, ? | 11:45 |
| Jack_Sparrow | !keys | 11:45 |
| ubottu | Keyboard shortcuts can be set in System -> Preferences -> Keyboard Shortcuts. If your multimedia keys don't work with that, try the 'keytouch' package, explained at http://keytouch.sourceforge.net - See !Keyboard for changing layouts | 11:45 |
| starbucks | claw6: really!?! | 11:45 |
| starbucks | tillux: What do you mean by emulator? | 11:45 |
| Jordan_U | loz, Have you tried System -> Administration -> Hardware drivers? | 11:45 |
| starbucks | tillux: I have the games if thats what you mean | 11:45 |
| SGBX7 | Jack_Sparrow: Do you know of the command off-hand? (and how to boot the liveCD to it, for that matter) | 11:46 |
| tillux | starbucks: appdb.winehq.org lists all applications tested with wine. platinum is the best rating, garbage the worst ;) | 11:46 |
| tillux | !wine | 11:46 |
| ubottu | WINE is a compatibility layer for running Windows programs on GNU/Linux. See https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Wine for more information, and see !AppDB for application compatibility. | 11:46 |
| loz | Jordan_U: yes, and my whole screen resolution is wrong, i have really large fonts problem when i use the pilot.... | 11:46 |
| dlozarie | oh, I found darklooks! man, it IS dark! | 11:46 |
| starbucks | tillux: Alright thanks :) | 11:46 |
| marvloge | some of them work like suspendToRam, but brightness is not changeable | 11:46 |
| DistroJockey | dlozarie, once you have the Jungle.tar.gz , use Appearance to select Darklooks and then drag and drop the file in that window | 11:46 |
| Jordan_U | loz, The pilot? | 11:47 |
| marvloge | or WLAN on/off | 11:47 |
| Jack_Sparrow | SGBX7 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 "--" but in your case all_generic_ide might be needed | 11:47 |
| loz | Jordan_U: sorry i meen the fast graphic driver | 11:47 |
| marvloge | when livecd asked me about language in the console i could change my brightness, but later it became impossible | 11:47 |
| Jordan_U | loz, Are you getting full resolution but just really big fonts or are you getting a low resolution ( or both :) ? | 11:48 |

| smmagic | google is your friend | 11:50 |

| Dr_Willis | marvloge, you are saying your Video card - is affecting your Machines Function Keys on the keyboard? | 11:50 |
| marvloge | i guess its because the nvidia driver, because nv works fine | 11:51 |
| Dr_Willis | marvloge, thats... weird. | 11:51 |
| marvloge | especially the brightness control | 11:51 |
| Dr_Willis | marvloge, is this on a laptop? | 11:51 |
| marvloge | yes, samsung r700 | 11:52 |
| loz | Jordan_U: when i first upgrading to 8.04, i had really small barely visable fonts with the default driver, so i then used some kind of magnifying tool that i downloaded, because i tried using the dpi fix, but to no avail, on firefox, i have used another dpi fix, so that the fonts are the right size, but i wanted to use the nice visual effects in the appearance section, hence using the graphic card accelerator driver, but then i get mas | 11:52 |
| loz | sive fonts, and a very blury resolution, does this make any sense? | 11:52 |
| Dr_Willis | marvloge, be a interesting test to seeif compiz on/off affects it. or a different window manager. | 11:52 |
| Dr_Willis | marvloge, thats a very very weird bug. I wonder if its not somthng to do with the laptop memory/bios/irq/dma ect... | 11:53 |
| marvloge | or maybe this is an acpi issue, but when i close my screen it turns to standby | 11:53 |
| zelrikriando | http://paste2.org/p/41609 | 11:53 |
| boris | dialman: yep. | 11:53 |
| boris | woops | 11:53 |
| marvloge | so i guess acpi works | 11:53 |
| boris | the sound is crappy, but it is resolved with setting ALSA PCM on front:0 to about three fourths (in Volume Control). however this only works until reboot. please help | 11:53 |
| Jordan_U | loz, Sounds like you are not actually successfully using the accelerated nvidia driver, if your card is very new you may need a newer driver | 11:53 |
| Dr_Willis | marvloge, ive seen VERY weird things happen due to acpi/apci/ type issues | 11:53 |
| marvloge | me too ;) | 11:54 |

| whileimhere | ahh oka | 12:05 |
| === cow_ganteng is now known as co_cari_cew_Stia | ||
| Jack_Sparrow | SGBX7 a bit yes | 12:05 |
| SGBX7 | Jack_Sparrow: I think I figured out what might be going on here, but I'm at a loss for how to work around it | 12:05 |
| loz | tilux: i used the default driver from the cd,i installed ubuntu 7.10 and upgraded to 8.04, the graphics worked of on first install, but when i upgraded via terminal, my fonts went really small,now when i try to use the nvidia latest driver cards in SYSTEM-ADMINISTRATION-LATEST CARDS, my screen resolution is terrible, and i get really large fonts | 12:06 |
| SGBX7 | Jack_Sparrow: right before this mess happened, I was fooling around in grub--hiding partitions | 12:06 |
| zaggynl | ubuntu desktop 8.04 cd checks out fine | 12:06 |
| SGBX7 | Jack_Sparrow: I think they've locked into hidden mode, and now seeing as I can't access grub, they're stuck that way | 12:06 |
| SitUbuntuSit | firefox won't start, and if i use the command to launch, it just hangs... nothing. Any thoughts? | 12:06 |
| gaminggeek_ | hey | 12:06 |
| SGBX7 | Jack_Sparrow: Do you know if hiding a partition in grub can do something like that? | 12:06 |
| gaminggeek_ | I'm having problems with my wireless | 12:06 |

| Jack_Sparrow | SGBX7 what tutorial were you using to hide them | 12:06 |
| SGBX7 | Jack_Sparrow: I broke down and RTFM. It was ... here : http://www.linuxselfhelp.com/gnu/grub/html_chapter/grub_4.html | 12:07 |
| whileimhere | Any idea how to purge all the deb files from apt-get? I am sure it stores them because it doesnt request that I download anything when installing new programs | 12:07 |
| soundray | SitUbuntuSit: see if the fault is in your user config: 'mv ~/.mozilla ~/mozilla-backup' and try again | 12:07 |
| Jack_Sparrow | SGBX7 Please dont use rtm even when directed at yourself | 12:07 |
| avis | whileimhere, sudo apt-get clean | 12:08 |
| SGBX7 | Jack_Sparrow: I basically hid 0,0 0,1 0,2 and 0,3 (I believe..?) | 12:08 |

| SitUbuntuSit | soundray: I've sudo apt-get remove --purge and then then reinstalled. then I deleted .mozilla. still, nothing. | 12:08 |
| SitUbuntuSit | soundray: I'm not really a newb either. darnest thing. | 12:09 |
| SGBX7 | Jack_Sparrow: Can you think of any reasonable way to get into grub to unhide these? | 12:09 |
| soundray | SitUbuntuSit: perhaps you'll see where it hangs when you run 'strace firefox' (brace for lots of output) | 12:09 |
| SitUbuntuSit | soundray: epiphany won't run either. nor does firefox 2. okay. i'll try. | 12:09 |
| SGBX7 | Jack_Sparrow: Without the use of additional hardware, that is... | 12:09 |
| Jack_Sparrow | SGBX7 trying to read what you did to see about undoing it.. but I dont see anything about hiding partitions on that page yet | 12:09 |
| SGBX7 | Jack_Sparrow: Down there at 'DOS/Windows' | 12:10 |
| hyppias | networkManager or wicd ? | 12:10 |
| SGBX7 | Jack_Sparrow: It's basically the simple command of "hide (0,1)" and so forth | 12:11 |
| soundray | SitUbuntuSit: there must be a common cause then | 12:11 |
| SGBX7 | Jack_Sparrow: The corresponding command is unhide (hdx,x) | 12:11 |

| Jack_Sparrow | SGBX7 How did you try to mount it | 12:19 |
| SGBX7 | Jack_Sparrow: e.g. it says "Partition 4 does not end on cylinder boundary." -- it doesn't even see them as existing | 12:19 |
| Finu1 | O_O i didn't swear ^^ | 12:19 |
| Finu1 | sorry if i have | 12:19 |

| Jewfro | Duesentrieb, well - that tutorial worked for me on both Ubuntu, and Debian | 13:03 |
| Duesentrieb | Jewfro: sure, you can use iptables on ubuntu (and i do), but it's not there per default, and not "the ubuntu way" | 13:04 |
| Duesentrieb | in fact, i guess i should look into netfilter | 13:04 |
| misieq | ququ: what you're trying to do? play an incomplete file? like a partial download? | 13:04 |
| Duesentrieb | iptables is overkill, if you are not setting up a router or dmz | 13:04 |
| Jewfro | Deusentrieb, I see - but I was in fact setting up a router | 13:04 |

| jrib | Jockeo: system -> preferences -> preferred applications | 13:12 |
| ququ | mm, I have a file stream.dump but just a little one | 13:12 |
| fksls | avis hmm im trying to find the right option, you want me to disable hibernate/sleep, and put it to sleep mode? | 13:12 |
| jrib | ququ: mplayer is still working until it gives you a new prompt | 13:12 |
| ququ | ach maybe I am just not patient enough | 13:13 |
| jrib | Chri1: if it is a gui application and you do not have a menu item after restarting your panel, please file a bug. Otherwise, it is not a gui application | 13:13 |
| Sa[i]nT | Is there any way to get an animated wallpaper for ubuntu? | 13:13 |

| Jockeo | jrib: Thank you, it works like it should now :) | 13:14 |

| misieq | Sa[i]nT: mplayer -rootwin | 13:14 |
| Sa[i]nT | jrib, I mean, animated wallpapers, not videos. | 13:14 |
| jrib | Sa[i]nT: then you need to define "animated wallpaper" | 13:15 |
| ququ | ubottu: ok I get thing clear | 13:15 |
| ubottu | ququ: Error: I am only a bot, please don't think I'm intelligent :) | 13:15 |
| Chri1 | jrib: it was the Deluge bit torrent client. How would I know if it's GUI? | 13:15 |
| ququ | ubottu: Ok ;-) thanks for being patient with me | 13:15 |
| ubottu | ququ: Error: I am only a bot, please don't think I'm intelligent :) | 13:15 |
| jrib | Chri1: it is, restart your panel | 13:15 |
| Sa[i]nT | jrib, You know how windows has that whole spinning universe wallpaper that shows you the universe as you stare at your desktop, Something like that. To that effect. | 13:15 |

| jrib | ququ: ubottu is a robot, he has no idea what you are saying :) | 13:16 |
| misieq | Sa[i]nT: you can record a video of that and play repeatedly in mplayer in root window | 13:16 |
| jrib | Chri1: it ends up in Applications -> Internet -> Deluge | 13:17 |
| Sa[i]nT | misieq, Well that's a scam. | 13:17 |
| Chri1 | jrib: by restart do you just mean close the window and reopen? if so, i have and it ain't there. What would it be under? Internet? | 13:17 |

| Sa[i]nT | Dude. | 13:18 |
| starbucks | the sudo apt-get things seem pretty simple aswell aslong as thats all you need to enter to get it xD | 13:18 |
| jrib | ququ: your command is working, you just need to let it finish (assuming this stream lasts for a finite time) | 13:18 |

| starbucks | SGBX7: I have a multi boot of ubuntu and vista not XP though | 13:19 |
| jrib | Peanut: what do you mean by "GTK"? | 13:19 |
| amikrop | glitsj16: I need to manually set that in System->Preferences->Sessions? | 13:20 |
| SGBX7 | starbucks: Is vista in a primary or extended partition? | 13:20 |
| glitsj16 | amikrop: correct | 13:20 |
| Sa[i]nT | fksls, System > prefs > power management ? | 13:20 |
| Chri1 | jrib: tried the killall, but still no Deluge - but if I try to install it, it's already ticked. | 13:20 |
| fksls | Sa[i]nT: no such thing here | 13:20 |
| starbucks | SGBX7: Im really not sure I just let ubuntu set it all up sorry | 13:20 |
| Katowon | anyone with thoughts on my audio problem? rhythmbox seems to be stealing audio. I set gstreamer-properties to alsa but it does not seem to help. do I need to restart gstreamer somehow? | 13:21 |
| amikrop | glitsj16: I can see it has set itself to start, in Sessions. | 13:21 |
| Peanut | jrib: the message I get is: Refusing to initialize GTK+ This proccess is currently running suid or setgid. This is not a supported use of GTK+ | 13:21 |
| jrib | Chri1: right click on the ubuntu icon -> edit menu. Is it under Internet | 13:21 |
| Peanut | So I can log into X, but all I get is an empty background. | 13:21 |
| glitsj16 | amikrop: could be yes, make sure it's ticked to autostart it and your screenlets should kick in after login | 13:22 |
| starbucks | SGBX7: I gota go for lunch now sorry I wasn't much help | 13:22 |
| Peanut | It points to http://www.gtk.org/setuid.html, let me get Lynx installed and look at that.. | 13:22 |

| SGBX7 | starbucks: No problem, bon apitite! | 13:22 |

| glitsj16 | Katowon: have you tried http://www.pulseaudio.org/wiki/PerfectSetup#GStreamerApplications ? | 13:26 |
| mysterycool | What is a good program which I can manage easily all my music and put specific songs under a specific album which album would be a category? | 13:26 |
| Peanut | Well, it says *REFUSING* to start GTK, that's what it looks like too, so must be more than a warning. Both .ICEauthority and .Xauthority are owned by myself, not read/write by anyone else: -rw-------- 1 paul paul 166 2008-06-22 14:15 .Xauthority | 13:27 |

| jrib | Katowon: for me rhythmbox doesn't steal audio, but it "freezes" a lot and I need to restart pulseaudio to fix it | 13:27 |
| mysterycool | I mean categorize all my songs in different categories which would actually be the albums. | 13:27 |

| milaks | glitsj16,here it is: http://paste.ubuntu.com/22109/ | 13:45 |
| Dr_Willis | tom___, the current diretory is NOT in the default path. | 13:45 |
| laurentiu | i type "sudo apt-get install compiz-fusion" into console but not found the compiz-fusion PACKET !! | 13:45 |
| schnootop | im trying to play a movie from my windows box. Movie Player wont play it but VLC will | 13:45 |
| laurentiu | how i get the fire , rain etc..... | 13:45 |
| glitsj16 | milaks: ok checking .. | 13:45 |
| Jewfro | milaks - are you sure the update completed? | 13:45 |
| schnootop | and its been with heaps of movies | 13:46 |
| milaks | yoyoned, that was the first thing I did, move old dir and created empty one. Still the same | 13:46 |
| milaks | Jewfro, yes, I was watching the process | 13:46 |
| Dr_Willis | schnootop, you need to clarify a bit. You are accessing a samba share from linux? or from windows? or are you refering to a stream from some web site? | 13:46 |
| Jewfro | milaks, odd, and beyond me skill level - but you have a terminal - so it should be recoverable | 13:47 |
| milaks | Jewfro,it returned back to KDE (as normal), icon in taskbar appeared that said I need to reboot for upgrade to be finished which I did | 13:47 |
| Jack_Sparrow | laurentiu install ccsm | 13:47 |
| Jack_Sparrow | !ccsm > laurentiu | 13:47 |
| laurentiu | what is ccsm? | 13:47 |
| schnootop | sorry, im trying to watch my video on my ubuntu machine over a network on a windows server | 13:47 |
| walruss | wenas | 13:47 |
| milaks | Jewfro, I guess I need to stick with Windows for some time, dont have a time for full reinstall, setting up... thanks for your help | 13:48 |
| Dr_Willis | schnootop, gnome 'browses' window shares. this can confuse some players. You could mount the shares locally and all apps will see the share as a local directory. | 13:48 |
| Dr_Willis | schnootop, i tend to use the 'fusesmb' tool to mount my whole windows network to a single local directory | 13:48 |
| schnootop | ahh ok i might look into it. Thankyou :) | 13:48 |
| Dr_Willis | schnootop, or you could specifically mont the share someplace. | 13:48 |
| glitsj16 | milaks: try adding "resume=/dev/hda9" at the end of line 132, that adds the swap partition as resume location (also usefull for hibernation btw) .. you seem to have memtest as default (line 14 --> default 7) .. is this the behaviour you want ? | 13:49 |
| milaks | glitsj16, default boot option is Windows atm | 13:50 |
| laurentiu | in add/remove programs desktop effects(compiz setup)is bifate | 13:50 |
| laurentiu | what i do now? | 13:50 |
| milaks | glitsj16, I'm going to try what you proposed me about resume now, and get back to tell you results, thanks for effort glitsj | 13:50 |
| glitsj16 | milaks: line 14 oints to default 7, the entrees start counting from 0 | 13:51 |
| Peanut | Ugh.. there is still something very much wrong in my box - many gnome programs won't display properly, e.g. System/Preferences/Sound | 13:51 |
| Peanut | Just an empty window, nothing more | 13:51 |
| glitsj16 | milaks: so windows is default 8 i think in your case | 13:51 |
| marshall | I've setup blueproximity with my ericsson w810i, but the distance readings arent really consistent and I'm having trouble calibrating it. can anybody offer me a some tips? | 13:51 |

| glitsj16 | milaks: correction: my mistake, it's set to boot the wiondows one indeed | 13:52 |
| laurentiu | pfffffffff | 13:52 |
| laurentiu | nobody :( | 13:52 |
| milaks | glitsj16,it's ok, I'm going to try chaning that line about resume... | 13:52 |
| laurentiu | arrrr | 13:52 |
| Dr_Willis | laurentiu, ccsm is the advanced compiz config tool. | 13:53 |
| Jack_Sparrow | laurentiu PLease stop.. you were linked to the instructions. | 13:53 |
| glitsj16 | milaks: ok, depending on the size of your swap it could still be unable to resume the image (no clue how big that is) .. see you later | 13:53 |

| Dr_Willis | hiptobecubic, i dont belive there is any special 'file' i do seem to recall some commands ages and ages ago that could make them blink and stuff. | 13:58 |
| hiptobecubic | Dr_Willis, that's kind of what i'm looking for. any ideas? | 13:59 |
| bullgard4 | ~/.bashrc includes a line: "# ~/.bashrc: executed by bash(1) for non-login shells." I do not understand in what situations ~/.bashrc will be executed and in what situations not. | 13:59 |
| Dr_Willis | hiptobecubic, not really.. been 10+ yrs since i last saw anyone care about that stuff | 14:00 |
| Dr_Willis | hiptobecubic, you want the caps lock to blink out morse code? :) | 14:00 |

| Chrysalis | how do i get apt-get to show what packages are available for upgrade before upgrading | 14:03 |
| milaks | glitsj16, I addedd "resume=/dev/hda9" but it's the same... should I try making root to point to real root partition and not to swap? | 14:03 |
| Jack_Sparrow | KrimZon format your data partition for use as sep /home | 14:03 |
| milaks | glitsj16, /var is on root partition, so maybe that "resume image" is on it | 14:03 |
| david_ | ashish_ you can't | 14:04 |

| n3gl1 | there does not seem to be ndiswrapper etc that I am used to | 14:08 |
| Sa[i]nT | Can brasareo or whatever makde dvd player compatible dvd's? | 14:08 |
| Peanut | Dr_Willis: SecondLife is one of the programms that have mysteriously stopped working on my Ubuntu just now :-( | 14:08 |
| n3gl1 | so, who knows how to get wifi drivers working? | 14:09 |
| starbucks | Dr_Willis: Yes im refering to the sims 2 | 14:09 |
| Peanut | Also most of the stuff under 'Preferences' seems a goner | 14:09 |
| Dr_Willis | Sa[i]nT, normally one uses some Other tools to create dvd video files, that you then burn with whatevre you like. The DVD burning programs normally just do the burning. Not all the 'all in one does it all' conversion | 14:09 |
| starbucks | Dr_Willis: I can't find anything to play the sims 2 with so im now looking for games which are like it not secondlife though | 14:09 |
| [0x41] | I've created a partition with cfdisk, hda3, and i want to set it as / . how would i do that ? | 14:10 |

| gordonjcp | n3gl1: what kind of wifi card do you have? | 14:12 |
| n3gl1 | I had said that I would never waste another blank, this is the first distro/pc combo of ubuntu in 5 years that has actually run with my gfx cards. | 14:13 |
| glitsj16 | 0x41: you will need to change /etc/fstab to point to the UUID of /dev/hda3 (UUID's can be found via "sudo blkid") and add in the other fstab params you might want for the filesystem etc. | 14:13 |
| n3gl1 | broadcom it's a bcmwl driver | 14:13 |

| legend2440 | Dr_Willis: oh ok lol | 14:15 |
| n3gl1 | the link has all kinds of ndiswrapper driver info (I KNOW THAT WAY) but there is no ndiswrapper on the latest distro | 14:15 |
| hiptobecubic | is that scroll lock then? | 14:15 |
| Fable | hey people, a question does anyone know if there is a application that shows me and can edit what modules load at boot? | 14:15 |
| Dr_Willis | legend2440, not sure what he really wanted... just having fun | 14:15 |
| Dr_Willis | hiptobecubic, the blink man pages state n - numlock, s = scroll lock, c = capslock | 14:16 |
| hiptobecubic | legend2440, yeah just having fun really. see what there is to see you know? | 14:16 |

| KrimZon | does anyone have any idea on the burning problem though? it's been like this for a while | 15:00 |
| Dr_Willis | hiptobecubic, a live cd with 'gparted' on it - is a MUST have in anyones computer toolbox. :) | 15:00 |
| dlozarie | realized that Ubuntu Hardy ships with 2.4.5 (GIMP) | 15:00 |

| Dr_Willis | onthefence928, which disk? you can always edit the fstab. and it will mount at boot time | 15:04 |
| glitsj16 | KrimZon: Dr_Willis is correct, no UUID for drives | 15:04 |
| Flynsarmy | onthefence928, an NTFS drive? | 15:04 |

| Flynsarmy | onthefence928, You can use a tool called ntfs-config. sudo apt-get install ntfs-config. it'll appear in applications - system tools. ti'll handle the ntfs drive for you | 15:05 |
| onthefence928 | and the other is a general partition, i think it's still NTFS but i'm not entirely sure | 15:06 |
| glitsj16 | KrimZon: use a format like the one from Dr_Willis for all your drives and you'll be set to burn, brasero and k3b are unable to pick those up it seems | 15:06 |
| Dr_Willis | KrimZon, its possible your /dev/cdrom link is invalid. You may want to check to see which device your optical disk really is - and verify | 15:06 |

| dlozarie | Flynsarmy: oh. so "dependency not satisfiable: gimp-data" means..? | 15:15 |
| Flynsarmy | AndyPT, Use the installation instructions on the wine website. its real easy that way | 15:15 |

| onthefence928 | Flynsarmy: it doesn't say anything about getting the disk to mount on log-in | 15:16 |
| Flynsarmy | AndyPT, Firefox errors about apt protocol? You shouldn't be typing apt commands into firefox. they go in the terminal | 15:16 |
| Ward1983 | Dr_Willis, the problem is ubuntu had problems with hardware that works fine with other distros | 15:17 |
| Ward1983 | Dr_Willis, that speaks volumes about ubuntu for me | 15:17 |

| yousif | Hi all. I have a question. I m using a simulation program called Linda. I m running it on my ubuntu using Wine. I want to automize extracting the result from the simulator. So i want to activate the simulator press ctrl +c activate an editor and press ctrl + v. I already did that using autoit on a windows pc and i m wondering if something like this is possible in ubuntu. | 15:25 |
| glitsj16 | AlbertoLempira: firefox 3 has a different bookmarks backend, but you can import your old ones, they should be below ~/.mozilla/firefox in the profile dir .. try "locate bookmarks.html" from terminal, that might give you the exact path | 15:25 |
| Flynsarmy | Anyone know why sound stops working in the games if i try to start a game up after 30 mins or so fo my pc being logged in? MP3's still work | 15:25 |

| scunizi | Flynsarmy, killall pulseaudio | 15:26 |
| Flynsarmy | scunizi, hey that worked! thanks! what exactly did i just do? | 15:27 |
| scunizi | Flynsarmy, you just killed the pulseaudio sound server that's new in Ubuntu with Hardy.. out of the box it doen't seem to be configured correctly on some machines.. | 15:28 |
| tshine | I've been messing with this a bit lately: http://reductivelabs.com/trac/puppet/ So far I recommend it to anyone that has to manage 1 or more boxes | 15:29 |
| Flynsarmy | scunizi, I now can't listen to mp3's in anything other than VLC and that's after a significant lag (and window turns black). Ideas? | 15:30 |
| scunizi | Flynsarmy, type pulseaudio in a terminal | 15:30 |
| Flynsarmy | scunizi, That's pretty dodgy. i'll need to killall pulseaudio every time i want to play a game then start it back up afterwards? | 15:31 |
| usuario | hola? | 15:32 |
| alex_ | hey anyone know how to increase the volume in ubuntu hardy? My volume control has to be cranked to hear it. | 15:32 |
| usuario | hi??? | 15:32 |
| scunizi | Flynsarmy, I'm sure there's a way to configure it so you don't have to do that.. I just haven't figured out how yet.. I still don't have my mic working either and that is a pulseaudio issue. | 15:32 |
| tshine | alex_: I have the same prob with my Macbook Pro with OSX Leopard. You would think they would have fixed that issue with Tiger but no dice :( | 15:33 |
| glitsj16 | Flynsarmy: you could "pasuspend <command to start your game>" to get it outside of pulse, do you mean games via wine ? | 15:33 |
| Flynsarmy | scunizi, I was having the issue before i did this, but i just changed all options TO pulseaudio in the sound preferences so that sounds would work in flash player. how irritating | 15:33 |
| Flynsarmy | glitsj16, Both games via wine and regular gnome games (lbreakout2, supertux2) | 15:33 |
| HeN | can anyone recommend a good MSN client? | 15:33 |
| erUSUL | !msn | 15:34 |
| ubottu | The Instant Messenger Client Pidgin (formerly Gaim) (http://help.ubuntu.com/community/GaimHowto) supports MSN, Jabber, AIM, Gadu-Gadu, Novell Groupwise, ICQ and IRC. See also !Kopete | 15:34 |
| glitsj16 | Flynsarmy: you might want to check http://blog.paulbetts.org/index.php/2007/05/27/make-wine-and-pulseaudio-get-along/ for those wine games | 15:34 |
| Flynsarmy | HeN, Pidgin or emesene if you want one real close to windows version of msn | 15:34 |
| alex_ | would be nice if they figured that out. | 15:34 |
| erUSUL | HeN: also emesene y amsn | 15:34 |
| Flynsarmy | HeN, neither support webcam. if you really want webcam you need aMSN | 15:34 |
| xmpx | Hello, i have setup samba as PDC and working but have not been able to find anything in how to authenticate users to Samba in Linux Desktops any help or redirection is greatly appreciated | 15:34 |

| Jupp3 | Hi, is there any simple way to copy directory recursively in alphabetical order? | 15:34 |
| Twister | im having a bit of a problem with the nvidia driver, | 15:35 |
| tshine | HeN: Have you tried Pidgin? http://www.pidgin.im/ | 15:35 |
| Dr_Willis | Jupp3, dare we ask why alphabetical order matters? | 15:35 |
| Jupp3 | Twister: What kind of problem? I just sorted my problem out | 15:35 |
| leoboiko | hi. it appears I can't use vga=711 with hardy alternate, it says mode undefined... any ideas? | 15:35 |
| scunizi | tshine, pidgin won't connect to msn | 15:35 |
| Jupp3 | Dr_Willis: Some devices don't sort files automatically, but rather use the order they are on the card | 15:35 |
| yousif | Guys my question again. i would appreciate it if anyone gave my any answer. I m using a simulation program called Linda. I m running it on my ubuntu using Wine. I want to automize extracting the result from the simulator. So i want to activate the simulator press ctrl +c activate an editor and press ctrl + v.

| Twister | i have downloaded the one off the nvidia site, i close x, run the nvidia installer, restart x and it works great, but when i restart the computer | 15:36 |
| tshine | scunizi: yes it will. I'm using it on one of my win boxes | 15:36 |
| Twister | it goes back to low graphics mode | 15:36 |
| starbucks | Hey where do I get the avant manager thing please and how do I install it? | 15:36 |

| Twister | my thoughts are that a module that is loading after it is affecting but i cant seem to find it (im just graspin at straws here as im kind of a linux newb | 15:37 |
| scunizi | tshine, I'm sorry .. you're right.. It just doesn't have the features of amsn.. | 15:37 |
| scunizi | starbucks, from synaptic package manager | 15:37 |
| glitsj16 | leoboiko: is that vga=711 ? tried vga=791 ? | 15:37 |
| starbucks | scunizi: Is it in there? | 15:37 |
| Jupp3 | Twister: I just got the driver with restricted driver manager, or whatever it's called nowadays | 15:37 |
| Jupp3 | Then it would work, except that it allowed only 320x240 or 640x480 screenmodes | 15:38 |
| scunizi | starbucks, was the last time I loaded it up | 15:38 |
| starbucks | scunizi: Alright thanks | 15:38 |
| Twister | ya jupp, that was the problem i had with the restricted driver | 15:38 |
| Twister | i have ubuntu 8.04 btw | 15:38 |
| Jupp3 | Twister: After that I simply added the monitor frequencies to xorg.conf and after booting, I had it work in 1920x1200 | 15:39 |
| Jupp3 | Same here | 15:39 |
| Jupp3 | Guess that if it can't figure out working settings, it assumes the worse | 15:39 |
| Jupp3 | Rather than potentially damage a monitor | 15:39 |
| Twister | hmm..i tried adding the monitor frequencies and it didnt work, maybe i didnt add the right frequencies | 15:39 |
| leoboiko | glitsj16: it worked, thanks! :D | 15:40 |
| glitsj16 | leoboiko: no prob, thought that the vga=711 looked a bit strange ;) | 15:40 |
| Jupp3 | Twister: In Section "Monitor"? | 15:40 |
| Twister | yea | 15:41 |
| hiptobecubic^ | i'm trying to run a command on an entire folder in bash. how can i do this? | 15:41 |

| AndyPT | i am using an eee pc with ubuntu installed, how do i find out what version of ubuntu i have? | 15:41 |

| Twister | d-_-b[w]: no, wrong channel for ubuntu, this is the dead rat channel | 15:42 |
| Jupp3 | glitsj16: Well it works for me now | 15:42 |

| BSliver | in hardy | 15:50 |
| BSliver | libgl-dev is not in the repos :( | 15:50 |
| yousif | Guys what about my question? | 15:50 |
| pucko- | I would guess in tsome of te mesa-dev packages | 15:51 |
| Jupp3 | BSliver: You can't | 15:51 |
| Jupp3 | BSliver: Better use GL/gl.h instead | 15:51 |

| BSliver | i have it | 15:52 |

| Jupp3 | BSliver: Anyway, that's the filename you should be after | 15:52 |
| BSliver | yes, i see | 15:52 |
| BSliver | got them | 15:52 |
| glitsj16 | Jupp3: i see .. what about redirecting the output to a tmp file and sorting it with "sort' command ? | 15:52 |
| Jupp3 | BSliver: Also remember that link library names are case sensitive aswell | 15:52 |
| Jupp3 | BSliver: If your code has wrong header paths, they might be wrong aswell | 15:52 |
| laurentiu | #ubuntu-ro | 15:53 |
| caldo_de_cana | hello | 15:53 |
| BSliver | yes, i thought netbeans will automatically correct include file names (as i type) | 15:53 |
| pucko- | user1_, the first lines after configures says it can't find the ld.so.conf files, so it can't find the dynamic libraries that you need to link against. | 15:53 |
| caldo_de_cana | how do I make the F keys work on a mac keyboard without having to press the fn key? | 15:53 |
| Jupp3 | glitsj16: Well I got as far as getting file list with find, then sorted it with sort | 15:53 |
| wols | BSliver: then you need the mesa dev packages probably | 15:53 |
| BSliver | wols, ive just installed it | 15:54 |
| BSliver | thanks for the help, jupp3 and wols :) | 15:54 |
| wols | BSliver: then use apt-file to see which package you need | 15:54 |
| BSliver | yes, i used lower case letters, that was the problem, wols ;) | 15:54 |
| glitsj16 | Jupp3: ok, is that's not a viable option for you doing it likie that ? can't say i immediately have better solutions | 15:55 |

| Raven478 | lol could anyone explain objects in javascript to me | 15:56 |
| PriceChild | morbyte: it will self-signed certificates. to go paypal.com and it should be ok | 15:56 |
| glitsj16 | Jupp3: ok, can be complex allright, takes a clear head and time (pressed for both a bit at the moment lol) | 15:56 |
| === ThomasHC is now known as thomas_at_wootli | ||
| caldo_de_cana | morbyte: it was never a good idea to make it so simple to access sites with invalid certificates (like in FF2) | 15:56 |
| Jupp3 | glitsj16: And I think it's a better idea to live with it, rather than starting to modify the viewer program to sort directories :) | 15:57 |
| caldo_de_cana | morbyte: hopefully this forces sites to update their certificates | 15:57 |

| dmsuperman | laurentiu, "sudo fdisk -l" will list your partitions | 16:13 |

| dmsuperman | [0x41], they're still totally different operating systems, and you need to check in #debian | 16:31 |
| MrWizeGuy1983 | JFlash, you would have to force the installation of a 32 bit browser and force the installation of the 32 bit java | 16:31 |

| JFlash | i've been told that the distributed firefox is 32bit already | 16:32 |
| glitsj16 | ligemeget: not on hardy myself, so i'm not sure where the specific menu item is located, but look for 'removable drives and media' in there and change the behaviour to your needs | 16:32 |
| Vhozard | marpal i had (have) sound problems too, did you try to compile alsa? | 16:32 |
| MrWizeGuy1983 | JFlash, it says it's 64 bit on mine, go to help and about firefox | 16:32 |
| apophis | Iron: /boot/grub/menu.lst | 16:32 |

| JFlash | i found on google that it says 86_64 but that doenst mean it's 64 bit | 16:33 |

| AndrewGearhart | has anybody tried Flash 10 on 64bit hardy? | 16:35 |
| apophis | Hirn: the login screen starts, x is running, but when logging in its all white, and the server crashes, and I am at the login screen again | 16:35 |

| pucko- | apophis, start it with X or xinit (the former should give you a blank X with an xterm), if you don't have anything overriding it in .xinit. or you could make a custum .xinit with only "exec twm" for instance. | 16:38 |

| ligemeget | glitsj16, ok I'll wait | 16:39 |
| joaopinto | amenado, what are you trying to achieve ? | 16:39 |
| yoyoned | Iron: add VGA=773 to the end of the kernel line in grubs menu.lst, or whatever number is appropriate. | 16:39 |
| Hirn | apophis: ok =) np. | 16:39 |
| amerinese | and what the proper equivalent should be? also would the proper way to remove backup files in all subdirectories be rm -R *~ ? | 16:39 |
| phretor | hi there | 16:39 |
| Gohanx | im about to lose it, my entire pc froze | 16:39 |
| joaopinto | amenado, find path - name "*~" -exec rm {} \; | 16:39 |
| apophis | Hirn: obviously the update script changed the standard session... to something bad. I just missed that | 16:39 |
| joaopinto | ops, -name | 16:39 |

| joaospinto | ok | 16:41 |
| phretor | I need to scan for viruses a computer with no Internet connectivity. At first I thought to use ubuntu live CD but I also need a way to update the virus database: is it possible to 1) boot ubuntu onto an Internet connected computer, 2) update the virus database and 3) burn the ISO of the "updated" live CD? | 16:41 |
| joaopinto | phretor, please be aware that you only be able to scan, not to remove | 16:41 |
| lubo | hello | 16:42 |
| phretor | joaopinto: neither if I mount the filesystem in write mode? | 16:42 |
| Hirn | phretor: you can download and burn a new version of knoppicilin, i think thats the one youre looking for | 16:42 |
| joaopinto | phretor, clamav only provides virus scanning | 16:42 |
| Vhozard | can someone help me solving that wine doesnt recognise all my memory? | 16:42 |
| joaopinto | phretor, Ubuntu is not the best tool for virus cleaning, please ask for a better option on ##windows | 16:42 |
| phretor | Hirn: and does this allow removal, too? | 16:43 |
| Oli`` | Is there a way to log uptime (beyone just one session)? so I can, for instance, see the longest uptime | 16:43 |

| === leche_ is now known as leche | ||
| Oli`` | lubo: depends how they distribute things. if it's just a tar, unzip it and look for an install script and run that from the terminal (./scriptname) - if they offer a .deb, get that and double-click it | 16:45 |
| marpal | ei where can I get some list of best applications (works well) in ubuntu hardy because i'm planning to reinstall it and don't want to update because I think there is something wrong when you update like it can affect the media application! | 16:45 |
| Hirn | phretor: i dont know | 16:46 |
| phretor | oki Hirn, thanks anyways to you and joaopinto | 16:46 |
| joaopinto | !best | marpal | 16:46 |
| ubottu | marpal: Usually, there is no single "best" application to perform a given task. It's up to you to choose, depending on your preferences, features you require, and other factors. Do NOT take polls in the channel. If you insist on getting people's opinions, ask BestBot in #ubuntu-bots. | 16:46 |
| Oli`` | phretor: I thought the ntfs drivers on the LiveCD allowed writing. | 16:47 |
| Dusk_ | I have a wireless problem. i have rt73usb drivers and Ubuntu 8.04 has recognized the wireless card automaticly. But it doesn't work full speed. I have a 1mbit connection but it only downloads with 50kb/s. I used many other sites and many other servers in Synaptic. I have also Windows Vista on other partition and wireless works perfectly | 16:47 |
| joaopinto | marpal, upgrades will not affect your media applications | 16:47 |
| marpal | the totem works great when i am not updating but when I install application. | 16:47 |
| Gohanx | Dusk_: welcome to linux | 16:47 |
| ubuntu | ciao | 16:47 |
| joaopinto | Oli``, it does, that is not the point | 16:47 |
| phretor | Oli``: yeh, but as joaopinto outlined, the issue is that clamav does not allow removal | 16:47 |
| Dusk_ | Gohanx, lol | 16:48 |
| marpal | the last application that I installed was sopcast then it went wrong like no sounds in media | 16:48 |
| apophis | Dusk_, welcome to wifi ;) | 16:48 |
| ubuntu9732841 | can someone login to my box remotley and recover lost data? | 16:48 |
| Gohanx | Dusk_: ive spent at least 12 hours just to get my wireless working and lets just say its not exactly stable, and im using a dlink LINUX driver | 16:48 |
| apophis | Dusk_, no serious, what is the signal strength? has it worked better before? how many wifi networks are in near proximity? | 16:48 |
| Gohanx | linux - signal = 20-70% windows = 100% | 16:48 |
| Oli`` | phretor & joaopinto : well how about downloading and installing avg into the live environment? | 16:48 |
| apophis | Dusk_, and have you shut down your microwave oven? ;) | 16:48 |

| Gohanx | lucky you | 16:49 |
| phretor | Oli``: if it is possible it'd be a good option; will I be able to burn the live then? | 16:49 |
| Dusk_ | apophis, i think it was better before | 16:49 |
| apophis | Dusk_, so the speed should really be better than 50l | 16:49 |
| idefix | what's the command for upgrading your ubuntu version? | 16:49 |
| Aubre | for some reason, when my niece logs out the screen stops responding, I have to ssh in and kill X | 16:49 |
| joaopinto | Oli``, there are windows live cd's specialized for virus cleaning, I really don't see how Ubuntu would make anything easier on this particular task | 16:49 |
| Dusk_ | apophis, absouletly | 16:49 |
| Dusk_ | apophis, it must be at least 90-95 | 16:50 |
| dmsuperman | idefix, sudo apt-get dist-upgrade i believe | 16:50 |

| Oli`` | phretor: it installs into RAM rather than the CD and it won't be there the next time you boot to the CD - but yeah there are probably better tools as joaopinto says. | 16:50 |
| apophis | do you have a pc on the wired end? or do you just test with internet servers? It still could be its not the wifi part | 16:51 |
| marpal | ei #ubuntu-bots are not responding | 16:51 |
| andycan | Why does my sound controller start functioning at 50%? from 0-50% its on the same volume. | 16:51 |

| opt1k_ | hi... i got a question, i've installed ubuntu-restricted-extras for codecs& such and now most of the time when i view youtube vids or watch movies i don't have any sound, and youtube plays choppy | 16:51 |
| dmsuperman | idefix, i hate pulseaudio, gave me nothing but trouble | 16:52 |
| phretor | Oli``: I know it wouldn't be there after reboot :) I was in fact wondering if it's possible to burn the "actual" live. | 16:52 |
| dmsuperman | idefix, pusleaudio alone made me reinstall gutsy | 16:52 |
| dmsuperman | idefix, and flash support is worse in hardy | 16:52 |
| ligemeget | legend2440, actually it would be swell if I could get a program that sync'd my whole Music library på my iPod (I have a big iPod) | 16:52 |
| ligemeget | All the ones Ive been using so far have been drag-n-drop | 16:52 |
| joaopinto | phretor, there are some instructions to customize a live cd and reburn, but like I said, search for a better option :) | 16:52 |
| marpal | dmsuperman if you have a cure for pulseaudio please let us know! | 16:53 |
| marpal | thanks | 16:53 |
| Ryouga_Hibiki | hi | 16:53 |
| Oli`` | phretor: there *is* a remastering tool for doing that - but I've no experience with it | 16:53 |
| legend2440 | ligemeget: i don't have an ipod so not sure what would be best | 16:53 |
| ligemeget | damn | 16:53 |
| marpal | I wish I could cure that problem but I am new in linux as well as ubuntu | 16:53 |
| Ryouga_Hibiki | so does linux work with wireless? | 16:54 |
| PossibleBit | yeah | 16:54 |
| Hirn | sure | 16:54 |
| PossibleBit | well it depends on the card | 16:54 |
| PossibleBit | marpal: what exactly is your problem with pulseaudio? | 16:54 |
| joaopinto | Ryouga_Hibiki, if the card is supported, yes | 16:54 |
| Ryouga_Hibiki | mine is some type of broadcom | 16:54 |
| PossibleBit | I've recently found a fix for ONE particular issue | 16:55 |
| PossibleBit | that being the issue of Alsa apps having no sound. | 16:55 |
| apophis | dmsuperman, flash works fine when the audio problems are solved, even on 64bit, no probs! even zattoo works :D | 16:55 |
| PossibleBit | Just install libasound2-plugins and alsaconf-gtk. | 16:55 |
| PossibleBit | Run alsaconf-gtk and switch your standard soundcard to pulseaudio | 16:55 |
| opt1k_ | hey, can anyone solve my problem? | 16:55 |
| opt1k_ | hi... i got a question, i've installed ubuntu-restricted-extras for codecs& such and now most of the time when i view youtube vids or watch movies i don't have any sound, and youtube plays choppy | 16:55 |
| dmsuperman | apophis, it wasn't audio i was having issues with, flash made firefox crash constantly | 16:55 |
| legend2440 | ligemeget: in the instructions for Banshee in that link i sent. Instruction #15 mention synchronizing the ipod | 16:56 |
| apophis | dmsuperman, oh! I C | 16:56 |
| PossibleBit | hmm do you use the Open Source or Properitary Flash plugin? | 16:56 |
| opt1k_ | i have opensource | 16:57 |
| opt1k_ | flash plugin | 16:57 |
| PossibleBit | hmm you should try with the adobe one then. | 16:57 |
| PossibleBit | I use that and it runs fine enough | 16:57 |
| PossibleBit | I think the package is called flash-nonfree or something | 16:57 |
| joaopinto | the open source plugin is almost useless :P | 16:57 |
| opt1k_ | oh, ok.. where can i get the adobe one? | 16:57 |
| opt1k_ | oh.. tx | 16:57 |
| opt1k_ | btw how to remove the opensource one? :D | 16:57 |
| joaopinto | flashplugin-nonfree | 16:57 |
| opt1k_ | i'm kinda new | 16:57 |

| apophis | opt1k_, in fact I searched for "flash no audio ubuntu" and tried about 8 different solutions, and then it finally worked, and I have no idea which one it was | 16:59 |
| gtt | it asks for a password, even tho i think i've been pretty clear in telling it that it should not. :( | 16:59 |
| opt1k_ | oh... ok, i'll think of something then :) | 16:59 |
| PossibleBit | If the desecration hits the ventilation you can try downloading and installing the plugin from adobe site, and bypass synaptic, though I don't think it would make a difference. | 16:59 |
| opt1k_ | who knows.. | 17:00 |
| PossibleBit | right, I think there was another package I installed that made it work, but I haven't even the slightest clue what package <.< | 17:00 |

| Jason2gs | And the permissions are the strings to the very left? That look like: drwxr-xr-x ? | 18:27 |
| Jason2gs | What exactly do they mean? | 18:27 |
| apophis | Jason2gs, yes | 18:27 |
| apophis | Jason2gs, x = execute w = write r = read: from left to right user / group / global | 18:27 |
| Jason2gs | Separated by hyphens? | 18:28 |
| Dusk_ | I have a wireless problem. i have rt73usb drivers and Ubuntu 8.04 has recognized the wireless card automaticly. But it doesn't work full speed. I have a 1mbit connection but it only downloads with 50kb/s. I used many other sites and many other servers in Synaptic. I have also Windows Vista on other partition and wireless works perfectly | 18:28 |
| Jason2gs | By 'permissions', I meant the things you set a file equal to with chmod. (Like 777 and such.) | 18:28 |
| KrimZon | maybe i need to defrag it more... | 18:28 |
| apophis | Jason2gs, and d = directory :) no, the hyphen means that this right is not granted, in your example all rights for the user, read and execute for the group and global but no write permission | 18:29 |
| Hirn | slyski: theres a scanner user group in ubuntu, maybe youre not in that group | 18:29 |
| Jenova_skill | How do i enable wireless connections on ubuntu? i have my 2nd computer i just installed ubuntu on....... and it's not showing any ( wireless) connections or even an option to enable it | 18:30 |
| apophis | full rights are for everyone is: dxwrxwrxwr | 18:30 |
| Hirn | slyski: if you go to "Settings/Users and groups" you can modify the groups your user is in | 18:30 |
| Dusk_ | I have a wireless problem. i have rt73usb drivers and Ubuntu 8.04 has recognized the wireless card automaticly. But it doesn't work full speed. I have a 1mbit connection but it only downloads with 50kb/s. I used many other sites and many other servers in Synaptic. I have also Windows Vista on other partition and wireless works perfectly | 18:30 |
| Hirn | slyski: or you edit /etc/group | 18:30 |
| apophis | Jason2gs, I 777 = dxwrxwrxwr | 18:30 |
| amenado | Jenova_skill-> check first with sudo lshw -C network and tell us what driver and chip your wifi is using | 18:30 |
| yoyoned | if the fist part of a permissions string is a d that meanss it ia a directory | 18:30 |
| amenado | Dusk_-> are you sure you are connecting in G mode? | 18:31 |
| Dusk_ | amenado, how can i be sure? | 18:31 |
| slyski | Hirn: I seen in group i'm in the scanner group | 18:31 |
| apophis | even with b it should be more than 400kbit... | 18:31 |

| Dusk_ | amenado, http://www.pastebin.cz/show/6397 | 18:33 |
| apophis | thats g ;) | 18:34 |
| Dusk_ | it says 54M but it's not | 18:34 |
| amenado | Jenova_skill-> paste the results in pastebin | 18:34 |
| Dusk_ | amenado, apophis so what do you say about that? | 18:35 |
| Jason2gs | The reason I want to know about folder permissions, is because it seems that Java (or perhaps just the Firefox Java plugin) hogs /dev/dsp. Meaning that if I'm playing a game (such as RS or something) I can't listen to my gay Japanese techno while I'm doing it ~_^ Will setting the permissions of /dev/dsp to where only root can access it while I'm playing the game, and executing VLC as root when I want to listen to music, work alright? Or is there a decent fi | 18:35 |
| apophis | Dusk_, everything looks fine... should work perfectly | 18:36 |
| amenado | Dusk_-> for one, the 54meg is not a true bit for bit xfer rate, its much less than that, what bit counter are you using to tell you, you only have 1meg? | 18:36 |
| Dusk_ | apophis, but it's not..i downloads max 50b/s | 18:36 |
| Hirn | slyski: take a look at http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=14906 | 18:36 |
| Dusk_ | amenado, yes 1 mbit | 18:37 |
| crimsun_ | Jason2gs: no, permissions have nothing to do with that. | 18:37 |
| amenado | Dusk_-> what tool are you using to measure this? | 18:37 |
| russianmafia | give me your money | 18:37 |
| apophis | Jason2gs, thats not a problem with permissions, probably you use different mixers for different software | 18:37 |
| russianmafia | no fun | 18:37 |
| russianmafia | dont call the police | 18:37 |

| Jason2gs | Oh, kk. I'll search a little more than | 18:37 |
| crimsun_ | Jason2gs: you can /try/ wrapping firefox with padsp (if you use PulseAudio), but that will wreak havoc with Flash, for instance | 18:37 |

| nickrud | ubu-elijah I would do that. Or, put quotes around the stuff enclosed in [] | 19:36 |
| mynetdude | apophis I can't see any of the shares for XP, but I can see the computer in the network on ubuntu though | 19:36 |
| MrWizeGuy1983 | mynetdude, when you create a share you can make it so they have to login | 19:36 |
| nickrud | including the brackets | 19:36 |
| mynetdude | MrWizeGuy1983 how? | 19:36 |
| MrWizeGuy1983 | mynetdude, it's on the second tab when making the share | 19:36 |
| m-c | starbucks: the media should display on the desktop, if it worked correctly | 19:36 |
| mynetdude | MrWizeGuy1983 really? I didn't see a 2nd tab... but I'll look | 19:36 |
| MrWizeGuy1983 | mynetdude, you go to the samba gui and double click the share, it's the access tab | 19:36 |
| starbucks | m-c: It doesn't seem to...im using a samsung media player...? | 19:37 |
| mynetdude | MrWizeGuy1983 what samba gui? guess I'll go look now | 19:37 |
| delight | aslock: maybe the problem is only in the 32bit release which is doutable. But its a very funny behavior ... ff3 works fine just grails.org is basicly unusable | 19:37 |
| mynetdude | brb | 19:37 |
| wols | yonebyte1: I've seen it but that paste has no modem shown | 19:37 |
| starbucks | m-c: It says its connected on the player screen but I can't find it on the PC | 19:37 |
| MrWizeGuy1983 | mynetdude, install the samba gui via add/remove and then go to it | 19:37 |
| aslock | delight, perhaps it requires a quad core :P | 19:37 |
| ubu-elijah | nickrud: still egtting same thing | 19:37 |

| nickrud | ubu-elijah where'd you get that suggested command? | 19:38 |

| tbrock | so even if the firefox executable was replaced, the next launch would launch the new one | 19:53 |

| mroc | how do i set the defualt boot option for grub? (dual-boot for a friend, i need to change xp to the default) everything i've read basically says change the "default" from 0 to whatever number xp is in the list. won't the number change though as ubuntu updates and adds a newer kernel option to the list? | 19:53 |
| LordOllie | tbrock, yes | 19:53 |
| wols | there you have it. now check if there are linux drivers or anything about it | 19:54 |
| tbrock | what about if there is a bookmarks file that is in use | 19:54 |
| tbrock | or something like that, where it cannot remove the file | 19:54 |
| Flannel | mroc: Set default to "saved" and then on your XP entry, add a "safedefault" line somewhere in it | 19:54 |
| tbrock | lets say if the new version didn't have a bookmarks file | 19:54 |

| apophis | mroc, the number only changes if you install or remove harddrives from your computer | 19:55 |
| Flannel | mroc: The next time you boot, you'll choose XP, and after that it'll be default (because its saved) | 19:55 |

| mynetdude | MrWizeGuy1983 I got the samba GUI, I had the /root shared via the folder sharing properties then when I looked at the samba gui it wasn't there, so I manually added it in which it did... but then when I looked at the folder sharing properties it is no longer shared and I can still access it without logging in even though I selected a user already | 19:55 |

| LetsGo67 | Flannel: does apt have dependancies? | 20:32 |
| ryanakca | Flannel: CD | 20:32 |
| Bhavesh | dmsuperman try du -sh folder | 20:32 |
| Flannel | LetsGo67: It does, but you should already have them | 20:32 |
| joaopinto | LetsGo67, it does, but the apt remove does not remove the dependencies, only the specified packaged | 20:32 |
| yoyoned | dmsuperman: du -h | 20:32 |

| Bhavesh | dmsuperman if you have more then one folder, it will summerize each folder | 20:34 |
| Bhavesh | i just checked | 20:34 |
| ImMelody | I feel so stupid for having to ask this question.. | 20:34 |
| WalloO | atrus, P$ are single core, and P4 are not made to work as dual processor system. So it's single core with hyper threading | 20:34 |
| Flannel | !upgrade | l0verb0y | 20:35 |

| WalloO | naxa, when does it freeze? | 20:35 |
| bato_rio | hi all ! | 20:35 |
| atrus | WalloO: yeah, i was wondering if it might be a pentium-d being called a p4 | 20:35 |
| dmsuperman | thanks :D | 20:35 |
| naxa | WalloO, randomly. Mostly in 10-30 minutes after boot. | 20:35 |

My son's Fedora computer sees it as does my husband's Vista machine.. so I figure it must be something with my computer | 20:35 |
| atrus | bought the complete working system at a university surplus sale for $40. :) | 20:35 |
| Bhavesh | atrus awesome.. what kind of machine is it? | 20:36 |

| naxa | ImMelody, sorry i have no idea absolutely | 20:37 |
| WalloO | wols, does it displayed P4 or PD as description in Cpu info? | 20:37 |
| Flannel | Drk_Guy: what version of Ubuntu are you on? | 20:37 |
| Drk_Guy | I understand, updating glibc is very risky | 20:37 |
| wols | Drk_Guy: whos us the output and the output of dpkg -l libc6 | tail -1 | 20:37 |
| l0verb0y | Flannel: that was the fastest upgrade in history, thank you once again | 20:37 |
| Bhavesh | atrus you are making me jealous :) | 20:37 |
| Drk_Guy | Flannel, Hardy | 20:37 |
| Flannel | Drk_Guy: Then... you don't. If you were on gutsy, the answer would be "Upgrade to Hardy". But no, you don't want to upgrade libc | 20:38 |
| joaopinto | Drk_Guy, where did you get that vdrift installer from ? The last time I have checked it was compiling with the Ubunt's provided glibc | 20:38 |
| naxa | WalloO, what should i do? | 20:38 |
| atrus | Bhavesh: i'd say it was one of the better finds from the sale, but a friend of mine got a countertop dishwasher for his apt for $30. he's the one I'M jealous of :) | 20:38 |

| naxa | WalloO, I use enlightment becouse gnome freeze. I thought enlightment wouldn't crash. | 20:39 |
| Bhavesh | atrus well i am trying to build a replacement server for my existing server, replacing one dual P!!! @ 866 with dual PIII @1Ghz w/ 1GB memory, got it off ebay a couple of years a go for $140 | 20:39 |

| WalloO | naxa, try disabling compiz, it may be a hardware issue | 20:40 |
| starbucks | Anyone know why im getting this problem please? When I first installed I had the option for 1280*1024 but now its gone ;( | 20:40 |
| wols | starbucks: different driver now. use the proper one for your hardware | 20:40 |
| naxa | WalloO, I thought enlightment is not using compiz. | 20:40 |
| Rabbitbunny | what's a X program shipped with xubuntu 6.10? | 20:40 |

| Flannel | Rabbitbunny: mousepad | 20:41 |
| Flannel | Rabbitbunny: You having problems connecting to the repositories? | 20:41 |
| starbucks | wols: What do you mean? Im using the drivers that envy got me | 20:41 |
| wols | !envy | 20:41 |
| 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. | 20:41 |

| thrashus | is there a rsa-keygen installed in linux? | 20:41 |
| wols | note the "unsupported" | 20:41 |
| WalloO | naxa, yes, I know, but compiz use hardware 3D. So if there is an issue with your X11 driver for 3D, or a problem with your vga card, it may crash because of compiz. With disabling it, you will know if it comes from that | 20:41 |

| Rabbitbunny | Flannel: Yeah, I just went through it on my desktop, Kinda antsy about doing the server. Thanks for reminding me. | 20:43 |
| WalloO | naxa, maybe in interface config, disable destop effects | 20:43 |
| ImMelody | Okay.. revision to my above question | 20:43 |
| naxa | WalloO, it's been already disabled! | 20:43 |
| Drk_Guy | Flannel, Then, if i can't just upgrade the lib, what should i do? | 20:43 |
| starbucks | WalloO: Yes | 20:43 |
| WalloO | naxa, so I don't really know what to do to help you... | 20:43 |
| naxa | what is more I still thinks that enlightment doesn't use compiz at all so i thought it's not even loaded. | 20:43 |

| joaopinto | tlrokeutoetn, no, except that is not usual | 20:54 |
| starbucks | WalloO: Where do I put it? | 20:54 |
| joaopinto | tlrokeutoetn, abour your original question, regarding /bin/sh, what is your problem with it ? | 20:54 |
| WalloO | starbucks, you can replace yours (keep a copy of the current one just in case something goes wrong). Use my sorg.conf which is simple, and juste change all 1024x768 with the size you want for your screen | 20:54 |
| tlrokeutoetn | joaopinto: if I try to run a shell script, such as configure, it says "bash: ../binutils-2.17/configure: /bin/sh: bad interpreter: Permission denied" | 20:54 |
| tlrokeutoetn | joaopinto: I checked the permissions on the file, and it is an executable | 20:55 |
| vic_ | eago: no | 20:55 |
| nand | iandev: why does it say "virtual server list"? | 20:55 |
| WalloO | starbucks, it is in /etc/X11. But copy your current /etc/X11/xorg.conf before. to be sure to be able to restore it in case it doesn't work the way you want | 20:55 |
| joaopinto | tlrokeutoetn, did you edited that configure script ? | 20:55 |
| vic_ | eago: after you have installed ubuntu you could run it without a keyboard/monitor or mouse with vnc | 20:55 |
| joshjosh | i have a minor amarok problem...it keeps skipping around tracks on me. and no, it's not on shuffle. | 20:55 |

| tlrokeutoetn | joaopinto: no | 20:56 |

| joaopinto | ok, thats odd | 20:56 |
| eago | ok... thanks vic_ | 20:56 |
| joaopinto | but i need to go now, sorry :P | 20:56 |

| WalloO | tlrokeutoetn, does it the good path to sh? type whereis sh to know | 21:01 |
| nand | iandev: what I find weird is that you have lots of entries | 21:01 |
| mynetdude | can anyone recommend a good samba GUI? | 21:01 |
| nand | pointing to 0.0.0.0 | 21:01 |
| tlrokeutoetn | hyphenated: it is listed in /etc/shells | 21:01 |
| nand | iandev: could you remove the entry 0.0.0.0 port TCP 80 please? | 21:01 |
| iandev | nand: most of them are disabled. only http and https working... | 21:01 |
| mynetdude | the one I have doesn't work right I don't think | 21:01 |
| lokuazzz | Bhavesh Im not looking for just images for my splash screen.. i want to use a funcional one.. interactive you know.. i already download some i wanna try | 21:01 |
| iandev | nand: ok | 21:01 |
| tlrokeutoetn | wallo0: sh is in /bin/sh, I tried just running it | 21:02 |
| lokuazzz | so i dont want just simple an image | 21:02 |
| WalloO | frederic, launch menu->administration->synaptic package manager | 21:02 |
| nand | iandev: having entries with 0.0.0.0 just makes no sense | 21:02 |

| Iteki | hallo! anyone tell me an equivelant to like "hotspot-shield" for ubuntu? i want to use hulu from outside the us | 21:02 |
| WalloO | Frederic, then search for the software. To watch TV only, tvtime is really the best. To record tv and have a complete media center, mythtv is good, but not so light | 21:03 |
| Scientus | what is this: sudo chown shawn projects -- cd projects --bash: cd: projects: Permission denied | 21:03 |
| iandev_ | nand: removed... | 21:03 |
| WalloO | mynetdude, nautilus works quite well | 21:03 |
| AaronMT | How do I update my kernel to 2.6.25.x | 21:03 |
| AaronMT | uname -a stil shows, 2.6.24.x | 21:03 |
| nand | iandev_: is that working now? | 21:03 |
| iandev_ | nand: checking... | 21:03 |
| mynetdude | WalloO really? if it works so well I can get into my shares without authencation even with the samba gui addon | 21:04 |
| perlsyntax_ | i like my 3D in ubuntu | 21:04 |
| WalloO | mynetdude, however, it doesn't mount samba shares, so your software have to support the gnome filesystm. | 21:04 |
| eztotype | I tried reinstalling dash, but there is still a problem | 21:04 |
| mynetdude | why would I want to mount ubuntu shares in ubuntu? | 21:04 |
| WalloO | mynetdude, if you allow anonymous connection on the server machine, yes. | 21:04 |
| mynetdude | err, anonymous connection or anonymous permissions? | 21:05 |
| eztotype | does anybody know what might be the problem with shell? | 21:05 |
| WalloO | mynetdude, but you can mount shares at start too. with modifying /etc/fstab correctely. However, it's not so simple | 21:05 |
| iandev_ | nand: not yeat. firefox keeps loading page undefinetely... | 21:05 |
| Prose | I've got Samba set up and transfer is about 8Mbytes/s on a LAN network..is that normal? | 21:05 |
| iXneonXi | Help, both "vol_id -u /dev/real_name" and "blkid" won't return a UUID for my swap partition. I am able to manually initialize it using "swapon". It will not auto-initialize (there seems to be a problem with UUID mismatch in fstab). | 21:05 |
| nand | iandev_: your http server is up and working? | 21:06 |
| eztotype | no shell scripts seem to work unless I specifically say "sh ./some-script.sh" | 21:06 |
| DRebellion | Prose, wireless? | 21:06 |
| mynetdude | WalloO well I found that turning off simple file sharing in windows makes it impossible for ubuntu to see the shares | 21:06 |
| Prose | DRebellion: no, wired LAN | 21:06 |
| mynetdude | WalloO but turning it ON lets it see it, and requires authencation | 21:06 |
| DRebellion | Prose, hmm, you should be seeing much higher speeds than that | 21:06 |
| iandev_ | nand: when i ping it through my ubuntu desktop it reply normally | 21:07 |
| WalloO | mynetdude, simple file sharing, is the more stupid thing I know.... | 21:07 |
| iandev_ | nand: ping 192.168.0.50 and reply ok | 21:07 |
| Prose | DRebellion: I know that hdparm test gives sequentail read at 24Megabytes/s on the fileserver hard drive (the one with Samba on it) | 21:07 |
| mynetdude | WalloO, I agree... I was told its better not to use SFS... but ubuntu sees it that way | 21:07 |
| WalloO | mynetdude, you did the good thing with turning it off. :) | 21:07 |
| Stylee | Any idea why OOo crashes when attempting to load a .doc? | 21:07 |
| nand | iandev_: I'm not asking about pinging, but accessing the HTTP server via your browser locally : does it loads page ok? | 21:07 |
| === eztotype is now known as tlrokeutoetn | ||
| WalloO | mynetdude, if you turn off simple file sharing, you have to allow guest to access the shared forlder. | 21:08 |
| mynetdude | WalloO, but here's the thing... I have ubuntu shares setup... I have told it which users can access it via the samba GUI yet I can still access it without authencation | 21:08 |
| WalloO | mynetdude, that's this simploe, but you have to know that... :) | 21:08 |
| iandev_ | nand: through browser works too (show page It Works) | 21:08 |
| mynetdude | WalloO well then that defeats the point of SFS | 21:08 |
| tlrokeutoetn | is this a problem with sh? or is it a problem with something else? | 21:08 |
| DRebellion | Prose, hmm. don't really know how to help you there. sorry. | 21:08 |
| tlrokeutoetn | (the bad interpreter problem) | 21:08 |
| mynetdude | WalloO if you have to allow guest, then its just as unsecure | 21:09 |
| nand | iandev_: is the built-in firewall from your router desactivated (or at least with an hole on port 80)? | 21:09 |
| Prose | DRebellion: well thanks anyways | 21:09 |
| DRebellion | Stylee, ask in #openoffice.org | 21:09 |
| Stylee | ok thanks | 21:09 |
| Prose | DRebellion: on wi-fi I get 2 Megabytes/s so I guess I shouldn't complain | 21:09 |
| iXneonXi | Anyone know how to fix my swap automounting ? | 21:09 |
| iandev_ | nand: dont know... ill check .. one moment pelase... | 21:09 |
| WalloO | mynetdude, yes. I though you wanted anonymous access... But you can not give access to guest and give access to any other user. Then you will be able to log in using the windows login and password | 21:09 |
| LogicalDash | I just deleted my defaults.list by accident. Could someone paste their defaults.list so I can copy it and reinstall | 21:10 |
| mynetdude | there's gotta be a better way to do shares | 21:10 |
| DRebellion | Prose, if you were on wifi, I would tell you to check the 'rate' in iwconfig. | 21:10 |
| erUSUL | LogicalDash: defaults.list?? | 21:10 |
| Iro1 | hi. i have firefox issue - it is shutting down unexpectedly. tried starting it from console - dives a segmentation fault. How can i fix it? | 21:10 |
| DRebellion | Prose, but also, i see limits from unexpected things such as the usb interface to my wireless adapter (12 mb/s) | 21:11 |
| KrimZon | argh :( | 21:11 |
| LogicalDash | erUSUL: as in /usr/share/applications/defaults.list | 21:11 |
| KrimZon | i've spent ages defragging the ntfs partition and it still won't resize | 21:11 |
| Jewfro | Irol, you could try renaming your /home/.firefox or .mozilla directory - and see if it loads | 21:11 |
| Prose | DRebellion: I'll check out what the "rate'' means in iwconfig and see how mine compares | 21:11 |
| === root is now known as mercuree | ||
| iandev_ | nand: coudnt find any firewall related page... need to search the web... | 21:11 |
| WalloO | KrimZon, gnu parted do not resize ntfs fot security reasons | 21:12 |
| Iro1 | Jewfro: it loads ok, but crashes during work | 21:12 |
| Prose | DRebellion: my situation is Server --- Lan --- Router ---wifi--- Laptop | 21:12 |
| DRebellion | Prose, right | 21:12 |
| nand | iandev_: you're kidding? There is a "firewall" menu entry on the screenshot you sent me! | 21:12 |
| KrimZon | WalloO: it doesn't refuse to, it actually tries, using ntfsresize | 21:12 |
| Prose | DRebellion: but good point on the usb | 21:12 |
| Jewfro | Irol - is it something specific, like flash or java causing it? | 21:12 |
| mercuree | im still having some auth problems. one of which made me make the original change. bu i cannot auth to change eth1 settings. it doesnt even prompt for a password. just comes up with error could not authenticate | 21:12 |

| WalloO | KrimZon, ha ok, sorry. I can't help you. | 21:13 |
| mercuree | i tried changing myself to admin with same permissions as root | 21:13 |
| Iro1 | Jewfro: well idon't know - it just crashes randomly while trying to access different pages | 21:13 |
| DRebellion | Prose, I would only expect that if the computers had very slow processing power. After all, data is data. | 21:13 |
| mercuree | i can also not modify xorg.conf through nvidia x server settings as normal user but if i sudo it it works | 21:13 |
| tlrokeutoetn | I'm still having problems with shell, can anybody help? | 21:13 |
| iXneonXi | Who was looking to measure rates? For measuring rates over LAN, I recommend a small program called "netio" | 21:13 |

| DRebellion | fooks, makes no difference | 21:14 |
| tlrokeutoetn | mercuree: of course you can't, you don't own the file | 21:14 |
| Jewfro | Irol - it could be a plugin/extension issue maybe? | 21:14 |
| fooks | im on gutsy still, but im too scared to update | 21:14 |
| mynetdude | WalloO why do I have to allow guest to access the windows share when SFS is turned off? Wouldn't that defeat the point of security? | 21:14 |
| Prose | DRebellion: does your definition of very slow include 500MHz P3 processors | 21:14 |
| fooks | since my last update failed and fubar'ed my system from 7.04 to 7.10 | 21:14 |
| iXneonXi | fooks: no difference, I recommend Internet if you have fast broadband. Find a good mirror. | 21:14 |
| nand | iandev_: :p | 21:14 |
| mercuree | tlrokeutoetn: but if i modify it as root user, it only makes the change for root user and not normal user as it should | 21:14 |
| fooks | iXneonXi, ill attempt it | 21:14 |
| sfire | Prose: no thats smoking fast | 21:14 |
| DRebellion | Prose, that's what I use and it's not limiting me. | 21:14 |
| jedimind | omg who actually runs 1024x768 as their res any more | 21:14 |
| mercuree | it should ask me for authentication the modify it | 21:14 |
| javier | hello ubuntu wont recognize my clie, what can i do??? | 21:15 |
| nand | iandev_: now you can just desactivate the relevent rule, and that should work | 21:15 |
| Iro1 | Jewfro: well' i just installed it and it has only flash plugin i guess - even didn't install java | 21:15 |
| tlrokeutoetn | mercuree: it shouldn't be doing that; are you sure? | 21:15 |
| LogicalDash | Would someone please upload their /usr/share/applications/defaults.list to a pastebin? I was tinkering with something I shouldn't have and ended up deleting mine. | 21:15 |

| Prose | DRebellion: okay thanks for your help, I'll blamde this on windows and be done with it :) | 21:15 |

| DRebellion | Prose, hehe, okay. ;) | 21:15 |
| jedimind | javier: are you using kpilot ? | 21:15 |
| WalloO | mynetdude, you don't have too. It's required only if you want people to connect without needing login and password. | 21:15 |
| Jewfro | Irol - I've seen flash cause that problem - try purging flashpugin-nonfree - see if it works - then try reinstalling maybe | 21:15 |
| mercuree | tlrokeutoetn: yep and this was before i messed with my settings | 21:15 |

| Flannel | mynetdude: Check out aptonCD. It uses your package cache to make a CD repository | 21:16 |
| tlrokeutoetn | mercuree: what is the problem with xorg.conf? I missed the original question | 21:16 |
| Flannel | mercuree: Check out aptonCD. It uses your package cache to make a CD repository | 21:16 |
| mynetdude | Flannel why are you telling me that? | 21:16 |
| DRebellion | mercuree, /var/cache/apt/archives | 21:16 |

| DRebellion | iXneonXi, best just to ask a question. | 21:17 |
| mynetdude | WalloO ah ok, well I'll wait to see if someone comes along who can better assist :) the weird thing though is with SFS turned on ubuntu asks for authencation when accessing windows shares... but not other XP/Windows machines | 21:17 |

| Drk_Guy | Hi guys | 21:17 |
| iXneonXi | Here it is again | 21:17 |
| rjre | i have installed CYGWIN on my vista pc - how do i start an X window session to my ubuntu box? any suggestions? | 21:17 |
| iXneonXi | Help, both "vol_id -u /dev/real_name" and "blkid" won't return a UUID for my swap partition. I am able to manually initialize it using "swapon". It will not auto-initialize (there seems to be a problem with UUID mismatch in fstab). | 21:17 |
| DRebellion | mercuree, just copy them to a usb flash drive or something and then into the same directory on the new install. | 21:18 |
| jedimind | mynetdude: that was the joke :) | 21:18 |
| mercuree | thats the plan DRebellion | 21:18 |
| Drk_Guy | wols, the connection failed, but i'll pastebin english output | 21:18 |
| Hermanon | hi is there any gui tool for check disk and defragmentor | 21:18 |
| mercuree | thanks | 21:18 |
| mynetdude | jedimind fact is... 1024x768 is the biggest I'd be willing to go or things will be awfully tiny | 21:18 |
| mynetdude | jedimind although I use a higher res on my laptop because of the screen ofc | 21:18 |
| eago | vic_ : if I install that VPN... will it run fine when i reboot that computer or at reboot time it needs to have monitor or keyboard connected? | 21:18 |
| doddi_ | how to see current screen resolution under nvidia driver? | 21:18 |
| WalloO | mynetdude, if users on your other XP machine have same login and password than on the server, it's normal because the system will use them as login/password automaticaly, without asking you. | 21:18 |
| user__ | rjre: you might try the FAQ in channel #cygwin topic line | 21:18 |
| Drk_Guy | wols, http://pastebin.ubuntu.com/22201/ | 21:19 |
| Jewfro | mynetdude, it depends on your monitor - high res monitors look good (not small) at higher resolutions. | 21:19 |
| tlrokeutoetn | does anybody know what might cause "bash: ../binutils-2.17/configure: /bin/sh: bad interpreter: Permission denied"? | 21:19 |
| vic_ | eago: it'l run on boot | 21:19 |
| apophis | rjre, if your cygwin has a working x-server its simple as that: open the cygwin console and enter ssh -X <ip of your ubuntu box> | 21:19 |
| mynetdude | WalloO I wondered about that, I don't remember anymore but I was pretty sure even with different usernames | 21:19 |
| eago | ok... thanks | 21:19 |
| === irc is now known as rjre | ||
| rjre | great. thanks | 21:19 |
| apophis | rjre, if your cygwin has a working x-server its simple as that: open the cygwin console and enter ssh -X <ip of your ubuntu box> | 21:20 |
| mynetdude | Jewfro I have a newer monitor... things look tiny even at high res | 21:20 |
| Jewfro | mynetdude, maybe you need glasses :) | 21:20 |
| WalloO | mynetdude, if you do not allow anonymous access, it's normal you are asked for login password | 21:20 |
| mynetdude | Jewfro on the laptop... things are a bit smaller but not small enough to bother me... cuz 1024x768 distorts things on the laptop | 21:20 |
| mynetdude | Jewfro thats the point, I already wear glasses | 21:20 |
| jedimind | i run 1920x1200 on my laptop | 21:21 |
| Drk_Guy | wols, Got an idea, maybe VDrift is looking for the 32 BITS libc6, and i'm on AMD64 | 21:21 |
| wols | Drk_Guy: there isn't a newer libc6 than 2.7 which is in ubuntu | 21:21 |
| mynetdude | WalloO from which side? windows or linux? | 21:21 |
| jedimind | then again im probably going blind as a result | 21:21 |
| Jewfro | mynetdude, I see, sorry - it's always possible to just enlarge the font size when using higher res | 21:21 |
| wols | Drk_Guy: that can be, it'S even likely. ia32-libs | 21:21 |
| mynetdude | jedimind I run 12880x... something I can't remember | 21:21 |
| wols | Drk_Guy: oh no: libc6 works for 32 and 64 | 21:21 |
| mynetdude | Jewfro true, it doesn't work perfectly though and kinds makes the gui look funny | 21:21 |
| jedimind | 1280x1024 | 21:21 |
| Drk_Guy | wols, wine whined for almost the same issue at compile-time | 21:21 |
| WalloO | mynetdude, if your windows server do not alllow anonymous access, then it's normal ubuntu request a login/password to connect to the windows server | 21:22 |
| mynetdude | jedimind yeah I thought it was x1024 | 21:22 |
| tlrokeutoetn | I think I know what the problem is! | 21:22 |
| tlrokeutoetn | I think that the partition is mounted as user and noexec | 21:22 |
| javier | jedimind palmos, should i download kpilot?? | 21:22 |
| Jewfro | mynetdude, maybe there's a gnome theme that addresses it | 21:22 |
| Drk_Guy | wols, I had to symlink to the 32 bits libs | 21:22 |
| tlrokeutoetn | what should be in fstab? | 21:22 |
| jedimind | javier: yeah get kpilot going, it should help you w/ your pal syncing | 21:22 |
| mercuree | ok im going to reinstall. lol | 21:22 |
| crazyguy510 | anyway to roll back your system | 21:22 |
| mynetdude | Jewfro oh I meant for windows... but I haven't tried chaging the dpi yet in gnome | 21:22 |
| qwer-ty | hi every body! | 21:22 |
| mercuree | hopefully it will go without a hitch | 21:22 |
| qwer-ty | is there any upnp client for ubuntu? | 21:23 |
| jedimind | OMG spain almost scored | 21:23 |
| mercuree | so long and thanks for all the fish | 21:23 |
| Jewfro | mynetdude, actually yes - I agree with you - even I (and I don't wear glases) have trouble seeing windows at high res | 21:23 |
| tlrokeutoetn | if I want to automatically mount a partition on boot in which I can execute programs, what should be the options in fstab? | 21:23 |
| mynetdude | WalloO like I said before ubuntu asks for PW but other windows systems don't even if not using the same username/passes IIRC | 21:23 |
| crazyguy510 | Hey guys anyway to roll back your system | 21:23 |
| qwer-ty | ive tried rhutmbox, vlc and so on/// | 21:23 |
| Jewfro | mynet, but even on windows it can probably be addressed by theme | 21:23 |
| Drk_Guy | wols, I had to symlink like this: http://wiki.winehq.org/WineOn64bit#head-7703cf4cc6b63630523cf66e77d621e4f81bc873 | 21:23 |
| qwer-ty | but no one of them is suitible for me/ | 21:23 |
| mynetdude | Jewfro I haven't seen a theme address the problem... I haven't tried it in gnome yet to see how it differs | 21:24 |
| jack_spratt | crazyguy510: yes i believe you can do it in synaptic | 21:24 |
| WalloO | mynetdude, so I can'T help you, sorry | 21:24 |
| javier | jedimind, ok ok ill try thanks man | 21:24 |
| crazyguy510 | how | 21:24 |
| crazyguy510 | can you make it like it was 3 days ago | 21:25 |
| mynetdude | WalloO lol no worries... I just require utmost security as I'm used to roaming | 21:25 |
| jack_spratt | crazyguy510: i dont know, dont think you can do it to a date, erm | 21:25 |
| crazyguy510 | okay | 21:25 |
| munk__ | help please....i have few issues i gotta fix..one my computer doesnt shut down it stops midway, 2 it takes very long to start, 3 sometimes my knetworkmanager doesnt start | 21:26 |
| mynetdude | WalloO I also mad out the point that I installed a samba GUI and setup user access, etc etc and again it does not require windows machines to authencate... I don't see how that is anonymous access if user specific access has been set | 21:26 |
| Drk_Guy | VDrift is on repos for feisty, but not for hardy | 21:26 |
| AquaFox | My sound server keeps crashing when I watch youtube. | 21:27 |
| jack_spratt | crazyguy510: just google rolling back in synaptic or something and you should get the answer | 21:27 |
| crazyguy510 | how do i change it jack | 21:27 |
| crazyguy510 | okay thanks | 21:27 |
| WalloO | mynetdude, that's quite strange | 21:28 |
| perlsyntax_ | this better then fedora for 3D | 21:28 |
| mynetdude | WalloO thats what I've been trying to say... despite the fact the share requires a specific user to login... but perhaps since my windows logon is the same as the ubuntu logon... would that also allow seamless access to the ubuntu shares? | 21:29 |
| sfire | I got a cool tool for adjusting all the 3d settings.. makes it much cooler | 21:29 |
| sfire | I like for all the windows to go up in a ball of flames when closed.. hehehehe | 21:30 |
| mynetdude | WalloO you mentioned that if the windows user/pass are the same on both windows machines it would seamlessly log you in, but I have seen it not do that also | 21:30 |

| WalloO | mynetdude, if password are the same, then yes, you will be able to login and windows will not ask you for password | 21:30 |

| m_newton_Loligag | Howto play quicktime in firefox??? | 21:31 |
| c4lman | IndyGunFreak: well, I want to make a script where you just paste in the youtube URL, the script grabs the .flv, xwinwrap uses mplayer to make it the wallpaper | 21:31 |
| illriginal | Does anyone know how to check the bandwidth of connection? Or running programs and the usage? Since yesterday, when i was watching youtube videos, the videos become choppy. I even restarted the PC and youtube still plays choppy. I don't know why. | 21:31 |
| IndyGunFreak | m_newton_Loligag: depends on the file format i guess... link to the video you're tryig to watch | 21:31 |
| mynetdude | WalloO, hmm | 21:31 |
| mynetdude | I shall test that | 21:31 |
| IndyGunFreak | c4lman: oh ok.. no clue on that one, sorry | 21:31 |

| yoyoned | look in menu under Accessories for Terminal | 22:14 |
| mynetdude | MobyGamer I dind't seem to have a problem with it in x64 as I didn't have ATI drivers | 22:14 |
| Drk_Guy | mynetdude, Hardy has a pretty good graphics layer | 22:14 |
| mynetdude | MobyGamer but I'm using 32bit now | 22:14 |
| yoyoned | Nocemoscata: then type: sudo aptitude install amule | 22:14 |

| mynetdude | Drk_Guy graphic layer separate from acceleration? | 22:15 |
| funkyHat | mynetdude, there are different drivers that provide some working 3D support for ATI cards... the binary drivers from ATI do, and the open source ati drivers do as well, but neither work for all cards properly | 22:15 |

| Jordan_U | Drk_Guy, In what way? It can access far less than firefox can with a default setup | 22:20 |
| mynetdude | I'll look into grabbing an older xorg.conf | 22:20 |
| jack_spratt | omid: are we dealing with a package (rpm, deb) or source only? | 22:20 |
| tmapj | it wont list | 22:20 |
| mock | what are you guys talking about | 22:20 |
| yoyoned | Joey__: look at tune2fs command | 22:20 |
| Drk_Guy | Jordan_U, IE is the most buggiest browser out there, would you ever call it safe? | 22:20 |
| tmapj | joaopinto, it wont list | 22:20 |
| Jordan_U | Drk_Guy, It's always a good idea to run your browser as a user which has no access to your important documents ( which are usually owned by your user and are in your home folder ) | 22:21 |
| mynetdude | Drk_Guy I heard that IE7 is supposed to work better in Vista than XP so essentially less buggy but not bugless | 22:21 |
| Drk_Guy | Jordan_U, Im talking about winbugs man | 22:21 |
| Jordan_U | Drk_Guy, I am not talking about IE, I am talking about isolation | 22:21 |
| omid | what should I tell you about? it's installer (configure, install and many other files...) | 22:21 |
| joaopinto | erm, can you both stop with the IE bugs talk ? Please keep on topic | 22:21 |
| yoyoned | Joey__: tunesfs -c 0 /dev/hda1 substitute whatever partition | 22:21 |
| jack_spratt | omid: sounds like its source only, have you tried to compile it? | 22:22 |
| Drk_Guy | Jordan_U, If you want isolation, use a VM | 22:22 |
| Drk_Guy | XD | 22:22 |
| Joey__ | yoyoned, will that screw up the partition? | 22:22 |
| joaopinto | omid, what software are you trying to install ? | 22:22 |
| joaopinto | Joey__, no, it will do what you have asked for | 22:22 |

| user__ | is there any other chanel? | 22:22 |
| omid | It's less than one month that I'm leaving windows and using ubuntu, I don't know many how to install software at that | 22:22 |

| LogicalDash | Hi guys. Earlier on I was asking for a replacement defaults.list, thinking this would be necessary in order to automatically open files with the correct application. It turns out that defaults.list is a leftover from an earlier version of GNOME, and I can in fact carry on happily without one, but I didn't know that because I didn't think to check whether things were actually broken the way I thought they were. Let this be a lesson | 22:23 |
| jack_spratt | omid: done make, configure etc commands | 22:23 |
| omid | joaopinto it's my finger print software | 22:23 |

| mynetdude | Drk_Guy from what I know sandboxie just isolates any app you tell it to and separates that instance from your windows enviornments so any changes you make are automatically discarded | 22:24 |

| mynetdude | Drk_Guy it may not be safe from hacking... but any malicious script ran within sandboxie will not affect windows as changes are not written to the HDD | 22:26 |
| LogicalDash | I kind of suspect it manipulates MIME types, maybe I'll look it up later | 22:26 |
| Jewfro | Bllz, you probably need some gstreamer codecs for avi | 22:26 |
| perlsyntax | thanks | 22:26 |
| Jewfro | Bllz, and thanks - I've quite a jewfro in fact :) | 22:26 |
| Bllz | jewfro... but it's motion jpeg... now i'm lost | 22:26 |
| jack_spratt | omid: maybe you should search online for a premade .deb for buntu | 22:26 |
| joaopinto | omid, you shouldn't use the --with-qt-dir at tall, the configure script is expect to detect your qt dir | 22:26 |
| mynetdude | Drk_Guy that means if you run a virus, script, etc from a browser or another app within sandboxie and then close it, it all disappears without a trace | 22:26 |
| Drk_Guy | mynetdude, Ok .. i think so, but it would be the same as UAC, and UAc is very hacked by now | 22:26 |
| w1k1nG | :} | 22:26 |
| joaopinto | omid, assumed you have installed the libqt dev package | 22:26 |

| mynetdude | Drk_Guy UAC is hackable already? sheesh | 22:27 |

| omid | I found http://www.qrivy.net/~michael/blua/bioapi/ at read me file | 22:28 |
| jack_spratt | omid: its just the same software, but prepackaged to make it easier to install, compiling from source has to detect a lot more info and make no assumptions | 22:28 |
| gordonjcp | Bllz: maybe you can try recoding it with avidemux | 22:28 |
| joaopinto | mynetdude, you are misinformed | 22:28 |

| Bllz | gordonjcp: what's the package for that? | 22:29 |

| jack_spratt | omid: if you cant find a suitable .deb to install it from, and it isnt in the repos, then youll have to try compiling it from source again. it didnt work for some reason last time, and youll need to find out what went wrong. follow the readme unless it asks you to do something stupid or dangerous. most likely problems to encounter will be missing libs or packages, which may or may not be availible in the repos. thats one of the advanta | 22:33 |

| joaopinto | whik, if ffmpeg does support it, probably you will find avidemux more friendly | 22:34 |
| funkyHat | trippss, /etc/initramfs-tools/conf.d/resume | 22:34 |
| omid | jack_spratt I'm doing that! I'm trying to install again using read me file, step by step... | 22:35 |
| whik | Jewfro, so just type ffmpeg then the name of the file? | 22:35 |
| Dasmoover | hey can anyone help me with my gui? xclient ession doesn't boot anything I can only get gui is with failsafe gnome. | 22:35 |
| trippss | funkyHat, aha! that would probably do it. | 22:35 |
| Jewfro | whik, no the syntax is a bit more complex - why I said read the man page - if you want graphical try avidemux like joapinto said | 22:35 |
| whik | joaopinto ill look into that one to | 22:35 |
| funkyHat | trippss, once that's saved you'll need to do 'sudo update-initramfs -u' to actually apply what you've changed | 22:35 |
| stroyan | whik: http://www.mplayerhq.hu/DOCS/HTML/en/menc-feat-handheld-psp.html or http://can.homeunix.org/sw/psp/ffmpeg_psp/ have HOWTOs. | 22:36 |

| hitsuji | Hey all, just wondering if theres anyone here that can help me, looking to compile a modified kernel module (well patched MadWifi) for a kernel I dont have installed on this machine | 22:36 |

| trippss | funkyHat, awesome. thanks for the help! | 22:36 |
| hitsuji | anyone? | 22:38 |

| KrimZon | how do i move my /home folder to a newly created ext3 partition? | 22:39 |
| agahnim | I don't know if anyone can't help me : I'm using a Hp pavilion dv6000 ( dv6418ca) and I can't seem to make the crt-LCD button to work (fn + f4) anyone got any clue how to fix this | 22:39 |
| joaopinto | KrimZon, you need to boot from a live cd or on rescue mode so that /home is not mounted | 22:40 |
| funkyHat | trippss, np :) | 22:40 |
| joaopinto | then you mount your new partition on some path | 22:40 |
| joaopinto | you copy the data, from /home to it, and then you adjust the mount points to reflect your change | 22:40 |
| KrimZon | ah, thanks | 22:41 |
| amenado | KrimZon-> you dont need the livecd, you can boot into single user mode, mount the new partition and the /home then copy over | 22:41 |
| joaopinto | like i said, either the live cd or the rescue mode | 22:41 |
| asmo[B] | is there a way to make it so that my USB devices don't automatically mount? | 22:42 |
| KrimZon | do i need to do anything in /etc/fstab ? | 22:43 |
| amenado | asmo[B]-> maybe you have to modify your event.d entries for usb? | 22:43 |
| joaopinto | asmo[B], there is, but I don't remember the instructions | 22:43 |
| joaopinto | KrimZon, yes you will | 22:43 |

| === paradon_ is now known as paradon | ||
| joaopinto | KrimZon, once the data is your new partion, you want /home to be mounted from it instead | 22:44 |
| nicolah | I just installed banshee, but the music does not pop up. I configured correctly the media library folder | 22:44 |
| KrimZon | joaopinto: would that line have a uid in it? | 22:45 |
| joaopinto | KrimZon, you will need to add the line for the new partition | 22:45 |
| jack_spratt | omid: the commands arent there to copy and paste into cli? try not to get frustrated | 22:45 |
| joaopinto | KrimZon, you can get the ids with: sudo blkid | 22:46 |
| stroyan | hitsuji: I expect you want pbuilder and module-assistant in combination. You might get by with m-a and the -l and -k options if you have the kernel source installed for the kernel you want to build for. | 22:46 |
| dmsuperman | does anybody know of a good cheat sheet for all those nifty little system info cmds? | 22:47 |

| joaopinto | dmsuperman, just read some linux commands tutorial | 22:48 |

| dmsuperman | joaopinto, I know quite a few commands, it's just those special commands that you need | 22:49 |
| chelz | is there an updated package list anywhere that has the latest builds of stuff? | 22:49 |
| dmsuperman | joaopinto, like I can work the whole OS from the command line, but for those special single use apps I can't ever remember them all | 22:49 |
| Iro1 | How can i install flash in my opera browser? Firefox works ok | 22:49 |
| dmsuperman | Or many, for that matter | 22:49 |
| joaopinto | dmsuperman, this are regular commands, whenever you need a specific task you will need to research on it | 22:49 |
| dmsuperman | yeah | 22:50 |
| dmsuperman | i just hoped there was a good list of commonly used special-needs commands | 22:50 |
| dmsuperman | like, how about this | 22:50 |
| Bucheron | vive les canards | 22:50 |
| joaopinto | dmsuperman, you can look for some quick references | 22:50 |

| dmsuperman | v0idnull, usually, but not always | 22:51 |
| v0idnull | dmsuperman: how do I determine it then? | 22:51 |
| dmsuperman | v0idnull, to be absolutely sure, i'd unplug the others and install to the only remaining one | 22:51 |

| hitsuji | ut2004player in what context? | 22:53 |
| dick | man sed | 22:53 |
| ut2004player | does anyone know if this really makes a difference in applciation/games speed? | 22:53 |
| Waz | whats the command for listing files in a directory by page? | 22:53 |

| chelz | haha | 22:53 |
| chelz | 1337 users | 22:53 |
| chelz | this should be the limit | 22:53 |
| joaopinto | ut2004player, it does, but you also need to be sure that the motherboard supports that mem speed | 22:53 |
| sofiankrt | how do I catch user input in an input box from a shell script? | 22:53 |
| LimCore | ut2004player: probably not too much. Even for games - most data will be stored on the GFX card | 22:53 |
| hitsuji | ut2004player not a noticable difference tbh | 22:53 |
| joaopinto | chelz, do you have a support question ? | 22:54 |
| === ballzee- is now known as Sinister | ||
| dick | sed is powerful but terse google it | 22:54 |
| joaopinto | sofiankrt, if you want a graphical box, you will need to use zenity | 22:54 |
| chelz | joaopinto: i do. i'm looking for something along the lines of ubuntu-bleedingedge but actually active | 22:54 |
| sofiankrt | joaopinto: do I apt-get it or is it already available? | 22:54 |
| joaopinto | sofiankrt, it's installed by default on ubuntu | 22:54 |
| LimCore | ut2004player: on ubuntu, check out the tremulous game ( #tremulous ) its a cool 3d quake engine based game | 22:55 |
| joaopinto | sofiankrt, man zenity :) | 22:55 |
| calman | dick: google doesn't help either, i just wan't it to output the text between "video_id=" and "&=" | 22:55 |
| sofiankrt | joaopinto: great! so I can get user input without the user running the script from a terminal? | 22:55 |
| joaopinto | calman, sed uses regular expressions, please learn about regexp | 22:55 |
| joaopinto | sofiankrt, yes, you should be able to achieve that with zenity | 22:56 |
| sofiankrt | joaopinto: thanks! | 22:56 |
| dmsuperman | ut2004player, offtopic, but just so you know 800mhz ram has been known to be a bit less stable than 667. it's really up to you, i personally have never noticed a difference | 22:56 |

| saintmykill | I recently blew away my XP partition and made my laptop Ubuntu only. But now, after resizing/moving my partitions with GParted, Ubuntu no longer recognizes my swap partition. Does anyone know how to fix this? | 22:56 |

| dmsuperman | ut2004player, you might want to try irc.gamesurge.net #hardware for hardware questions though | 22:56 |

| raghdam | or even fluxbox. If you don't like them, you can always switch back/ I noticed huge differences in a system with similar specs | 23:09 |

| jjido | raghdam: I tried but I like the Gnome theme better for Ubuntu | 23:09 |

| yoyoned | gtt look at ssh-copy-id | 23:21 |
| Jewsus | i don't know about google earth, i haven't tried it | 23:21 |
| Jewsus | videos don't really flicker they are just choppy or too slow | 23:21 |
| parci001 | jewsus - sudo apt-get uninstall compiz | 23:22 |
| parci001 | try thta | 23:22 |
| Jack_Sparrow | Jewsus ati video card perhaps? | 23:22 |

| Joel__ | how do i update the firefox beta 5 to the official release? | 23:22 |
| Jewsus | yeah i think i have ati video card | 23:22 |
| gtt | yoyoned: i've used that, and according to -v output the keys match and everything, so i don't understand why i'm being prompted for a password. and the sshd_config and ssh_config are the same as another the other way and that doesn't require a password. | 23:22 |
| parci001 | JAck you know about ati cards? | 23:22 |
| Colin_ | what is a good alternative to opendchub??? | 23:22 |
| joaopinto | Joel__, if you are using hardy and you have the updates enabled you should have recevied it already | 23:22 |
| herbee | pyNeighborhood tells me that the scan of workgroup failed... but worked once? what might be wrong? | 23:23 |
| Jack_Sparrow | Jewsus /join #compiz they may be able to get it cleaned up | 23:23 |
| Jewsus | Jack_Sparrow, compiz wasn't even on | 23:23 |
| Joel__ | my update manager says everything is up to date | 23:23 |
| Jewsus | and now apt-get removing it doesn't fix the problem | 23:23 |
| parci001 | jacksparrow - i have ati card - white screen of death after disabling restricted driver managers --- any ideas dor diagnosis commands that will list some stuff? | 23:23 |
| joaopinto | Joel__, so you must be running ff3 final, just check on the package manager | 23:23 |
| Jack_Sparrow | Jewsus THey are still good at helping dial in those ati | 23:23 |
| Jewsus | okay thanks i'll try it | 23:24 |

| Colin_ | anyone know of a good alternative to opendchub??? | 23:24 |
| g00se_ | Does the latest live CD have any form of Gn/Flash? | 23:24 |
| parci001 | jacksparrow - no just give me a clue as to some config files / diagnostic commands | 23:24 |
| javier | hello, i have followed many howtos on how to use my clie in ubuntu, but still i cant synchronising iwth pal os or kpilot, what can i do?? | 23:24 |
| phaedral | doh; I was thinking "audacity" instead of "audacious" | 23:24 |
| parci001 | ill figure it out myslef | 23:24 |
| phaedral | looks awesome, thanks for the hint | 23:24 |

| 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. | 23:25 |
| Joel__ | nope, beta 5 | 23:25 |
| Jack_Sparrow | parci001 Disabling composite in the xorg can also help | 23:25 |
| joaopinto | Joel__, switch to another mirror on the Software Properties | 23:26 |

| Guilo | who could explain me why my computer won't boot if libata is compiled in and will boot if compiled as a module ? | 23:29 |

| amenado | anyone aware yet if a new debootstrap install for Hardy is available? the ones i have is 1.0.9 and hardy is still symlinked to gutsy | 23:30 |
| obama2008 | guilo could error when mounting? | 23:30 |
| joaopinto | amenado, packages.ubuntu.com ? | 23:30 |
| CaptainMorgan | can anyone recommend a hardware-RAID implementation that have worked with, of which Ubuntu enjoyed seeing? | 23:31 |
| Guilo | obama2008 : euh well what do you mean ? | 23:31 |
| obama2008 | javier well first you should 'lspci -v | grep usb' to ensure you have usb. | 23:31 |
| Gman99999 | in ubuntu, when i go to [places>computer] and try to go into another one of my drives i get the "cannot mount volume" error messege. please help! | 23:31 |
| cecio | hello | 23:31 |
| _empemp_ | Hi. I have very bad 2d performance with my 82855 intel card. The 3d works great though with Compiz, but scrolling with Firefox is just a pain. What can be the issue? | 23:31 |
| obama2008 | guilo could be many things wrong with it no? | 23:31 |
| amenado | joaopinto-> i have 1.0.9 that why i asked if anyone know if there is one for hardy | 23:31 |
| cecio | !list | 23:31 |

| ubottu | A good guide for setting up Palm devices is at http://www.faqs.org/docs/Linux-HOWTO/PalmOS-HOWTO.html#PC-CONNECT-USB | 23:31 |

| obama2008 | there ya go Guilo | 23:31 |
| Jewfro | Gman99999, try sudo mount /dev/drive /tmp/location | 23:31 |

| amenado | joaopinto-> if you have looked inside 1.0.9 it does not use hardy, it still uses gutsy | 23:32 |
| Jewfro | Gman99999, you can add them to you /etc/fstab file to automount on boot | 23:32 |
| obama2008 | !laptop | 23:32 |

| obama2008 | nice! | 23:32 |
| Guilo | obama2008 yes, but its not a problem, my pc is ok but i wondered why it had to be compiled as a module, otherwise the kernel can't find the device. I just wondered if anyyone had a technical explaination | 23:32 |
| joaopinto | amenado, I am actually using it with success | 23:32 |
| Gman99999 | jewfro thanks very much I'll try the fstab | 23:32 |
| obama2008 | not sure guilo | 23:32 |
| xintron | Beefeater: if I would like to run this using cronjob "sh /home/<user>/script.sh" do I just add that to the file? | 23:32 |
| c_07 | _empemp_ -- I had the same issue when I installed Compiz on Arch, but I've never had that problem with Ubuntu. | 23:32 |
| joaopinto | amenado, not sure what you are referring to about the link, it does build the hardy base as expected | 23:33 |
| amenado | joaopinto-> and are you sure you are getting a hardy version ? | 23:33 |
| schmitty | what html editor works well with ubuntu that you recommend | 23:33 |
| joaopinto | amenado, yes | 23:33 |
| bazhang | !html | schmitty | 23:33 |
| Jewfro | Schmitty, I'm partial to Bluefish | 23:33 |
| ubottu | schmitty: html is HyperText Markup Language, used to build web pages. WYSIWYG editors: KompoZer (was Nvu), Iceape Composer, Amaya - Development environments: Bluefish, Quanta+, Screem - For a howto on HTML coding, see: http://www.w3schools.com/ | 23:33 |
| javier | obama2008, it didnt return any code | 23:33 |
| joaopinto | schallstrom, bluefish, quanta plus | 23:34 |
| _empemp_ | c_07: did u have problems with 3d as well? | 23:34 |
| parci001 | (EE) fglrx(0): atiddxDriScreenInit failed, GPS not been initialized. --- any ideas??? | 23:34 |
| amenado | joaopinto if you look inside usr/share/debootstrap/scripts (once you expand the 1.0.9) you'd think Hardy is in its own, but it still points to gutsy.. so its gutsy that gets installed when debootstrap 1.0.9 is run...maybe there is really no difference except the kernel and initrd | 23:34 |
| trippss | !xmms | 23:35 |
| ubottu | For the reason why xmms is no longer in the hardy repositories see: http://bugs.debian.org/461309 . Consider using audacious instead. | 23:35 |
| parci001 | --------- any ideas ? (EE) fglrx(0): atiddxDriScreenInit failed, GPS not been initialized. | 23:35 |
| joaopinto | amenado, that means the same scripts are used, because there are no major changes on the build process | 23:35 |
| jdwilm | In ubuntu server edition, is port 22 blocked by default? | 23:35 |
| schmitty | is bluefish work well with gnome? | 23:36 |
| jrib | jdwilm: no | 23:36 |
| Jewfro | schmitty, yes | 23:36 |
| c_07 | _empemp_: Can't remember, but I certainly remember the scrolling problems because it was a major pain. I wish I had a solution, but I was never able to get it working properly. I suspect it has more to do with an underlying driver rather than Compiz. | 23:36 |
| parci001 | schmitty --- | 23:36 |
| joaopinto | amenado, the set packages is being properly installed by specifying the target release on the debootstrap command | 23:36 |
| mynetdude | does ubuntu support drive encryption? | 23:36 |
| parci001 | schmitty - i prefer Kompozer | 23:36 |

| ubottu | Factoid encryption not found | 23:36 |
| schmitty | Jewfro: cool | 23:36 |

| mynetdude | !drive encryption | 23:36 |

| ubottu | Truecypt is a free open-source on-the-fly disk encryption software. See https://help.ubuntu.com/community/TruecryptHiddenVolume | 23:36 |
| mynetdude | ah truecrypt... will that work on windows XP/Vista as well? | 23:36 |
| parci001 | any1 know what this means ? (EE) fglrx(0): atiddxDriScreenInit failed, GPS not been initialized. | 23:37 |
| _empemp_ | c_07: how can i check which graphic driver ubuntu is running? | 23:37 |
| joaopinto | mynetdude, yes, truecrypt is also available for windows | 23:37 |
| amenado | joaopinto-> well when i run debootstrap with hardy as the option parameter, low and behold, its gives me gutsy anyways | 23:37 |
| mynetdude | cool... | 23:37 |
| mynetdude | !vnc | 23:37 |
| dobblego | after an upgrade, I don't get menus in GNOME; is this a known issue? I can't seem to google anything up for it | 23:37 |

| amenado | joaopinto-> when you download the kernel which one did you specify..thats after running the debootstrap off course | 23:38 |
| mynetdude | I'm having alittle trouble with understanding how to go about VNC options for ubuntu and my windows systems... I currently have UltraVNC for windows, I couldn't find a linux version of UltraVNC even though google search reveals that there is one | 23:38 |

| Jewfro | parci001, something like load "glx" or load "dri" | 23:39 |
| mynetdude | my question is, what VNC option would be suitable for both ubuntu and windows together? | 23:39 |
| joaopinto | amenado, I am using a script which calls: debootstrap --variant=buildd --arch "+arch+" "+release+" "+chrootdir+" http://pt.archive.ubuntu.com/ubuntu/" | 23:39 |

| Jewfro | _RainMkr_, sudo mv - chown back to user if needed aftewords | 23:40 |

| _RainMkr_ | joaopinto: When MySQL tries to write the log files actually. But also a warning when trying to perform the filesystem case test. | 23:40 |
| hobodave | has ubuntu released an updated package for Ruby addressing the security vulnerabilities? | 23:41 |
| _RainMkr_ | Jewfro: directory permissions are not the issue. | 23:41 |
| joaopinto | _RainMkr_, you must chown the data dir recuservely to the mysql user | 23:41 |
| _RainMkr_ | joaopinto: already done | 23:41 |
| javier | how do i upgrade my kernel?? | 23:41 |

| quicksilver_ | Hello. :) Does anybody know if the newer Nvidia drivers will make my card run any cooler? (My 8600 is at 59C at the moment, and starts getting all funky at 61C +) | 23:41 |
| ASULutzy | javier: It should just come down with sudo apt-get update && sudo apt-get upgrade or sudo apt-get update && sudo apt-get dist-upgrade | 23:42 |
| dldc | javier, updatemanager | 23:42 |
| _RainMkr_ | joaopinto / Jewfro: I should state that using the same my.cnf file, the binary downladed from mysql.com works without any problems. | 23:42 |
| ASULutzy | javier: Or use update manager | 23:42 |
| g00se_ | joaopinto: Thanks | 23:42 |
| _RainMkr_ | joaopinto / Jewfro: So I really believe this is a package/build issue. | 23:42 |
| joaopinto | _RainMkr_, oh, it could be an apparmor profile, not sure when is already being shipped with mysql | 23:43 |
| javier | ok thanks , so if my ubuntu is not detectiong my palm what can it be else than my kernel?? | 23:43 |
| _RainMkr_ | joaopinto: Humm... ok, what is that? | 23:43 |
| joaopinto | _RainMkr_, its a security kit which allows you to specific a set of rules to a given process | 23:44 |
| joaopinto | there is one for mysql | 23:44 |
| joaopinto | /etc/apparmor.d/usr.sbin.mysqld | 23:44 |
| amenado | joaopinto-> i wonder if these options are much much different than what you used.. debootstrap --arch i386 hardy /mymountpoint http://archive.ubuntu.com/ubuntu | 23:44 |

| cristian | hi, my sound from internet platforms like youtube doesn't work... what could be the reason for this ? | 23:45 |
| bcardarella | And is there a fix? | 23:45 |
| cb__ | crimsun_ heh i am a long time nix user but never ran it as my primary desktop | 23:45 |
| _empemp_ | c_07: No, i am not so clever in Ubuntu yet | 23:45 |
| _RainMkr_ | joaopinto: Ok, this looks promising. Thanks. Is there a daemon I need to restart after I edit this file? | 23:45 |
| joaopinto | _RainMkr_, sudo /etc/init.d/apparmor restart | 23:46 |
| _RainMkr_ | joaopinto: And I'm guessing that apparmor is something akin to SELinux? | 23:46 |
| Claw6 | hello i have a problem : xandros seames not working with my SD/MMC USB reader. when plug in it says "mount: wrong fs type" what can i do ? | 23:46 |
| Claw6 | ****lol xandros i mean xubuntu | 23:46 |
| c_07 | _empemp_: Try "nano /etc/X11/xorg.conf" in a terminal (it'll open read-only). | 23:46 |
| joaopinto | _RainMkr_, exactly, but uses a different approach, the security policy is filename based instead, and the rules are unix permission alike | 23:47 |
| Miglow | Hi all | 23:48 |
| Claw6 | problem : xubuntu seames not working with my SD/MMC USB reader. when plug in it says "mount: wrong fs type" what can i do ? | 23:48 |
| _empemp_ | c_07: done, what should i look for? | 23:48 |
| amenado | joaopinto-> i can easily boot it, its the downloading of the kernel i think thats different between your process and mine, after I run debootstrap and run apt-cache search linux-image it only shows gutsy kernels, perhaps its the sources.list i used? | 23:48 |
| _RainMkr_ | joaopinto: Ok, well this more than enough for me to go off, read, and learn. Thanks so much for your help/insight! | 23:48 |
| glitsj16 | bcardarella: you could try http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?p=4928900 (parts A & B specifically) to stop flash from hijacking pulseaudio | 23:48 |
| joaopinto | amenado, yes, that is only related to the sources.list inside your debootstrapped environment | 23:48 |
| joaopinto | amenado, my script replaces the sources.list inside of the install target | 23:49 |
| amenado | joaopinto-> yeah, since i copied it from a working gutsy (the sources.list) then perhaps it was only showing me the gutsy kernels.. | 23:49 |
| joaopinto | amenado, yep, that is it | 23:49 |
| havoque | anyone else having the issue that emerald brings computer to a crawl? | 23:50 |
| Claw6 | problem : xubuntu seames not working with my SD/MMC USB reader. when plug in it says "mount: wrong fs type" what can i do ? | 23:50 |
| amenado | joaopinto-> okay, i'll go seek for a hardy sources.list and let me compare.. | 23:50 |
| joaopinto | _RainMkr_, yw :) | 23:50 |
| c_07 | _empemp_: I think under the device section you will find the name of the driver. However in my case, Ubuntu seems to manage it without Intel drivers. | 23:50 |
| Claw6 | problem : xubuntu seames not working with my SD/MMC USB reader. when plug in it says "mount: wrong fs type" what can i do ? | 23:51 |

| joaopinto | amenado,:sed -i "s/gutsy/hardy/g" /path_to_your/etc/apt/sources.list | 23:52 |
| glitsj16 | havoque: no, emerald works smooth here .. running it on top of compiz ? | 23:52 |
| joaopinto | Claw6, open a terminal and run "dmesg", check the output | 23:52 |
| Corkster | anyone able to successfully install the nvidia beta drivers on the server kernel ? | 23:53 |
| havoque | yes, i read somewhere that this might be a driver issue, i have geforce 8600m GT | 23:53 |
| typedestereo | what's the command to edit the hosts file? | 23:53 |
| joaopinto | typedestereo, gksudo gedit /etc/hosts | 23:54 |
| typedestereo | thanks | 23:54 |
| Claw6 | joaopinto: already done but find nothing useful to me | 23:54 |
| c_07 | _empemp_: Frankly, that's the extent of my knowledge. If you're not sure you have the latest Intel drivers, you could try updating them (http://linux.dell.com/wiki/index.php/Ubuntu_7.04/Issues/Intel_945GM_video_issues). | 23:54 |
| thrashus | ./openssl genrsa -out Rsa2048_1 2048 this only gives me a private key what is the public key, also should i be using a randomfile to seed the process. Also when i open up the file it is arranged nicely am i supposed to ignore newlines? | 23:54 |
| Chest | guys is there an essentials package if I want to build/develop c++/c software on Ubuntu | 23:54 |
| Chest | ? | 23:54 |
| glitsj16 | havoque: hard to debug .. have you tested compiz with a different window decorator like metacity to check if it's more compiz than emerald that's responsible for the trouble ? | 23:55 |
| joaopinto | Chest, sudo apt-get install build-essential | 23:55 |
| Pici | Chest: Theres build-essential for compiling | 23:55 |
| Freakazoi | with ppp connect files, how do i put a password in the config file ? | 23:55 |
| Chest | thanks | 23:55 |
| havoque | everything is ok with metacity a.k.a gtk-window decorator, it's only an emerald issue | 23:56 |
| owen1 | how to find my ip? | 23:56 |
| owen1 | from cli | 23:56 |
| joaopinto | thrashus, what are you trying to achieve with that command ? | 23:56 |
| joaopinto | owen1, ifconfig | 23:56 |
| amenado | joaopinto-> okay thanks.. | 23:57 |
| c_07 | _empemp_: You can confirm your Intel video card version with "lspci" | 23:57 |
| owen1 | joaopinto: thanks | 23:57 |
| thrashus | joaopinto i'm trying to make a public/private rsa keys | 23:57 |
| havoque | glitsj16, doesn't matter, a friend of mine just found a bug report on launchpad with over 20 people experiencing the same behavior | 23:58 |
| joaopinto | thrashus, ssh-keygen -t rsa | 23:59 |
| _empemp_ | c_07: 00:02.0 VGA compatible controller: Intel Corporation 82852/855GM Integrated Graphics Device (rev 02) | 23:59 |
| _empemp_ | 00:02.1 Display controller: Intel Corporation 82852/855GM Integrated Graphics Device (rev 02) | 23:59 |
| glitsj16 | havoque: i see, hope there's a workaround that helps you out | 23:59 |
| _empemp_ | c_07: this indicates everything should be fine? | 23:59 |
