| Naisenu | I'm on my Ubuntu side right now, and I need to access files from my Windows OS partition. I've been able to access them before and it's not an NTFS issue as I can access an NTFS formatted second physical hard drive. My /media is only showing me an empty hda1 and hdb1 (second physical hard drive). Drive/partition layout available on request for this. :) | 00:00 |
| 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 ? | 00:01 |
| yoyoned | Naisenu: mount /media/hda1 | 00:01 |
| mynetdude | can anyone recommend a VNC system that will work both with windows and ubuntu? | 00:01 |
| mynetdude | so I can use it from either side? | 00:01 |
| Naisenu | ah because Windows was an ass and couldn't reboot and decided it needs a check | 00:02 |
| Naisenu | i hate windows *sigh* | 00:02 |
| NetEcho | well Ubuntu has a remote desktop option that can be viewed by a VNC viewer | 00:02 |
| === eric is now known as Guest93684 | ||
| mynetdude | NetEcho I was wondering about that, but can the ubuntu rd connect to the windows VNC server? | 00:03 |
| NetEcho | other way arround | 00:03 |
| NetEcho | Ubuntu RD is the server | 00:03 |
| NetEcho | you need a VNC client under windows | 00:03 |
| NetEcho | but any vnc client should connect to any VNC server | 00:04 |
| mynetdude | NetEcho so what client will work with the ubuntu server? | 00:04 |
| Guest93684 | Is it possible to md5sum a directory to see if a copy between an old harddrive to a new one? | 00:04 |
| NetEcho | mynetdude any vnc client | 00:04 |
| mynetdude | so any client can connect to any server | 00:04 |
| c_07 | _empemp_: No, that just identifies the hardware. A Google search found this: http://absolutebeginner.wordpress.com/2006/08/08/how-to-install-xglcompiz-on-ubuntu-the-easy-way/ (the author mentions that he used it on his Intel 855GM chip) | 00:04 |
| mynetdude | regardless of which OS? | 00:04 |
| NetEcho | I've never had a problem mixing and matching clients and servers | 00:04 |
| NetEcho | I used tightvnc to view ubuntu as well as realvnc ect | 00:04 |
| mynetdude | NetEcho, really... wasn't sure thought they had to match | 00:04 |
| mynetdude | yeah but realvnc is payware now | 00:05 |
| NetEcho | yea | 00:05 |
| NetEcho | I know | 00:05 |
| mynetdude | and realvnc has both windows/linux | 00:05 |
| NetEcho | its unfortunate | 00:05 |
| mynetdude | realvnc was the best actually | 00:05 |
| Ashfire908 | I'm having issues with my desktop. There seems to be lag for new connections to the machine. | 00:05 |
| Guest93684 | mynetdude, yeah its all independant from operating systems what vnc does is just shows you whats happening on the other system | 00:05 |
| mynetdude | err I mean it still is | 00:05 |
| Guest93684 | mynetdude, theres no actual code execution on the client side so its totally platform independant. | 00:05 |
| mynetdude | well as long as I don't have to have matching server/clients I guess I don't see anything wrong with that | 00:06 |
| === Guest93684 is now known as chamunks | ||
| mynetdude | so does the included ubuntu rd option act as both the client and server? | 00:06 |
| mynetdude | or do I still need to get an ubuntu client? | 00:06 |
| mynetdude | next question is how do I find my IP for the ubuntu laptop? | 00:07 |
| mynetdude | I'd rather use GUI to find/get that | 00:07 |
| IndyGunFreak | mynetdude: ont he laptop, run ifconfig in a terminal | 00:07 |
| thrashus | joaopinto yes i've done that aren't i supposed to get a 2048 bit key which would be 256 hex digits? i'm getting some huge file i need the number not some file i don't understand | 00:07 |
| === Cynical is now known as Herissy | ||
| chamunks | Is there a simple way to ensure that two directories are identical? | 00:08 |
| edenroz | hello,there is a program for know mouse coordinate from console? | 00:08 |
| Shaba2 | FastZ: You here? | 00:08 |
| Shaba2 | Hello all | 00:08 |
| mynetdude | Chambers` as in syncing? | 00:08 |
| mynetdude | errr | 00:08 |
| Shaba2 | nickrud thanks for the help yesterday | 00:08 |
| mynetdude | chamunks | 00:08 |
| mynetdude | ^^ | 00:08 |
| mynetdude | alright lets see what I can do with VNC | 00:09 |
| === dooglus_ is now known as dooglus | ||
| Shaba2 | With FastZ's help I figured it out. i.e. why I was not getting a create launcher in the rightclick menu | 00:09 |
| chamunks | mynetdude, well i allready preformed an rsync but i wasnt around when my computer was shutdown so i have no way of telling if the transfer is complete. | 00:09 |
| Shaba2 | hey mynetdude its great | 00:09 |
| mynetdude | Shaba2 I've used it before... just never done it cross platform before | 00:09 |
| Shaba2 | I use iit all the time on the windows side of my network | 00:09 |
| IndyGunFreak | mynetdude: its pretty cool, its just kinda slow. | 00:09 |
| nickrud | Shaba2 wy | 00:09 |
| mynetdude | iny indeed | 00:09 |
| mynetdude | err | 00:10 |
| mynetdude | IndyGunFreak indeed | 00:10 |
| IndyGunFreak | mynetdude: you may need to open up some portson your router to. | 00:10 |
| NOmicrosoft | HELP!! My wireless card on my Inspirion 1525 has just stopped working!!! | 00:10 |
| mynetdude | yeah possibly | 00:10 |
| mynetdude | shouldn't need to if its internal though | 00:10 |
| Shaba2 | thhe version I have (ultravnc) works cross-platfrom. WindowsXP<------Xubuntu. Kinda sorta | 00:10 |
| mynetdude | lappie is in the kitchen kinda hard to manage both PCs | 00:10 |
| IndyGunFreak | NOmicrosoft: i think thats way to much information to go on, you better give us time to grasp it all. | 00:10 |
| Jan3 | 1 | 00:11 |
| mynetdude | Shaba2 I have ultraVNC for windows, I couldn't find the linux version | 00:11 |
| Shaba2 | file transfers do not work and casue the client sside to such down | 00:11 |
| === Jan3 is now known as An3 | ||
| Herissy | mmm pizza | 00:11 |
| mynetdude | lol IndyGunFreak | 00:11 |
| Shaba2 | but I think that is because I am using an older version of the ultravnc server | 00:11 |
| mynetdude | hmm | 00:11 |
| NOmicrosoft | Someone help with getting the Intel PRO/Wireless 3945ABG network card working again please! Where has the little network connection icon gone from my upper panel | 00:11 |
| mynetdude | yeah oh I know why I didn't want to use the ubuntu built in rd option was because copy/paste to windows platforms doesn't work from ubuntu | 00:12 |
| IndyGunFreak | mynetdude: lol, well, it took him a second, but i think he got the message..lol | 00:12 |
| nickrud | NOmicrosoft try alt-f2 nm-applet --sm-disable | 00:12 |
| mynetdude | IndyGunFreak indeed, but it was funny with your reply :D | 00:12 |
| Herissy | no microsoft mine worked out of the box with hardy. | 00:12 |
| IndyGunFreak | mynetdude: i guess i'm just a barrel of laughs | 00:12 |
| nickrud | shame on you IndyGunFreak ;P | 00:12 |
| IndyGunFreak | nickrud: whats the --sm-disable switch do? | 00:13 |
| Shaba2 | Oh mynetdude Ultra is only for windows | 00:13 |
| nickrud | IndyGunFreak session management disable: I add that cuz the default install uses it. YIAGAM | 00:13 |
| mynetdude | Herissy my wifi card worked out of the box too... but a day after it did I started having problems... now it works fine I didn't have to fix it | 00:13 |
| kheski | Hello, I have a PCI DVD-RW drive that is not being detected by Ubuntu. Can someone assist me? | 00:13 |
| freeswonk | hi, is there a program to service an FTP server for ubuntu? or is a native service? | 00:13 |
| mynetdude | Shaba2 I suppose I could wine it or run a VM | 00:14 |
| Shaba2 | but is uses all that vnc protocolls | 00:14 |
| mynetdude | Shaba2 but I want to avoid using a VM.. cuz that means installing another OS | 00:14 |
| mattgyver83 | Hi room. After upgrading to hardy after each restart i have to ifdown and ifup my eth0 connection in order to connect to the internet, does anyone know why this is and how to fix it, its pretty annoying. | 00:14 |
| mattgyver83 | btw, its a wired connection. | 00:14 |
| mynetdude | Shaba2 well like I said... the ubuntu vino doesn't support copy paste from ubuntu>windows | 00:14 |
| Herissy | mynetdude, I never had a problem with mine, the problem I had was with the gnome keyring forgetting my passwords to my connections. | 00:14 |
| Shaba2 | so its able to communicat with all other vnc running on other platform | 00:14 |
| NOmicrosoft | Mine didnt work out the box- but it work for about 3 weeks after I first ran the update manager (installed drivers). Now its gone again | 00:14 |
| Shaba2 | what is vino | 00:14 |
| kheski | Does anyone have experience with installing a drive? | 00:15 |
| kheski | If it's not being detected at all, is this a jumper issue? | 00:15 |
| Herissy | Shaba2, type vino into a terminal and find out. | 00:15 |
| mynetdude | Shaba2 vino is what comes with ubuntu by default | 00:15 |
| IndyGunFreak | kheski: could be, or maybe a problem w/ the ide controller(or sata if its sata) | 00:15 |
| Herissy | if its installed that is. | 00:16 |
| dfgas | http://www.petitiononline.com/ut3linux/petition.html | 00:16 |
| mynetdude | Herissy, from what I read it is already included thus installed | 00:16 |
| mynetdude | Herissy that would be for Hardy Heron | 00:16 |
| kheski | IndyGunFreal, The primary is in working condition. The DVD is a secondary that is not detected in Device Manager. | 00:16 |
| Herissy | mynetdude, its not here. but my base install was originally kubuntu. | 00:16 |
| NOmicrosoft | How do i get the wireless network status back onto the panel?? | 00:17 |
| mynetdude | Herissy that could be why, but you can easily get vino if u really wanted | 00:17 |
| IndyGunFreak | kheski: did you just install them? | 00:17 |
| kheski | Nomicrosoft, right click the panel, and "Add to panel" | 00:17 |
| mynetdude | brb | 00:17 |
| IndyGunFreak | kheski: thats not what he wants | 00:17 |
| kheski | Oh. | 00:17 |
| NOmicrosoft | kheski i looked - couldnt see what i wanted | 00:17 |
| kheski | IndyGunFreak, no. But I have never been concerned for the second drive. | 00:17 |
| Herissy | mynetdude, ok same question as asked earlier : what is vino? something like good old pico? | 00:18 |
| IndyGunFreak | kheski: so the main hard drive is working? | 00:18 |
| ybit | oi, where can i get pushd for ubuntu? i need it so that maestro http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Maestro_(software) will install correctly | 00:18 |
| IndyGunFreak | NOmicrosoft: try opening a terminal and running nm-applet | 00:18 |
| ybit | maestro isn't in the apt repository | 00:18 |
| kheski | Indygunfreak, both the primary and secondary hard drives are working. The primary CD is working, it's simply the secondary CD (Which is DVD RW) | 00:18 |
| ALPSINC | hello all | 00:19 |
| IndyGunFreak | kheski: could be a jumper issue, i don't know.. why would you have two optical drivers? | 00:19 |
| ALPSINC | how can i find the company that made my har drive (from the ubuntu live cd) | 00:19 |
| ybit | well.. it's supposedly is installed.. not sure why maestro thinks otherwise... | 00:19 |
| ALPSINC | *hard drive | 00:19 |
| kheski | IndyGunFreak, the DVDRW has a slow CD burn time. And the CDRW obviously doesn;t have DVD capability. | 00:20 |
| cygoku | Hey, how can I rename a ntfs external drive without a format ?? | 00:20 |
| IndyGunFreak | kheski: don't really know, sounds like a jumper issue though | 00:20 |
| ALPSINC | anyone? | 00:20 |
| kheski | IndyGunFreak, thank you for your assistance. | 00:20 |
| mynetdude | I went to look for the RD server on ubuntu, all I see is the RD viewer, I typed vino in terminal and it doesn't exist... though I saw vino being marked as installed in synaptic how the hell do I start a server? | 00:20 |
| IndyGunFreak | kheski: or maybe the cable has pulled loose | 00:20 |
| ALPSINC | ahhh nvm | 00:21 |
| Herissy | oh alright I remember what vino is. | 00:21 |
| Herissy | I use vnc viewer. | 00:21 |
| LifeNomad | I am using VNC right now :D | 00:21 |
| Herissy | I use VNC just to restart my dial up connection on my remote box, nothing more lol | 00:22 |
| mynetdude | ah well I'll want VNC so I can tuck the laptop somewhere and do torrenting so its not on my desk | 00:22 |
| NOmicrosoft | Indy what do i type after nm-applet | 00:22 |
| NOmicrosoft | ? | 00:22 |
| IndyGunFreak | mynetdude: its just so slow. | 00:22 |
| mynetdude | what do I use to start the RD server in hardy ubuntu | 00:23 |
| ALPSINC | ok here is another question, how can I clane 2 drives in gparted? | 00:23 |
| IndyGunFreak | NOmicrosoft: nothing.. just type nm-applet then hit enter, and see if the icon comes up in your taskbar | 00:23 |
| mynetdude | IndyGunFreak its not that slow, its not fast by any means either | 00:23 |
| dfgas | anyone use the orignal unreal tournament in here. if how how did you get it to work. we get lockups and demo at the begin keeps on going through the whole game | 00:23 |
| mynetdude | IndyGunFreak what do you suggest then if you don't like it being so slow? | 00:23 |
| Appraiser | /server efnet.xs4all.nl | 00:23 |
| NOmicrosoft | nope nothing happens at all | 00:23 |
| Herissy | NOmicrosoft, try nm-applet --help | 00:23 |
| IndyGunFreak | mynetdude: well, its slow when i go into my computer.. bu ti thinkm thats cuz the res. on my PC is liek 2600x1280..lol | 00:23 |
| IndyGunFreak | from the pc to my laptop, its not to bad. | 00:23 |
| NOmicrosoft | again, nothing | 00:24 |
| cygoku | Hummm, how can I rename a ntfs external drive without a format (gnome) ?? | 00:24 |
| IndyGunFreak | NOmicrosoft: do you still have the notification area in your panel? | 00:24 |
| xintron | How come the sound doesn't work when I got rhythmbox running and starting vlc (the sound dson't work in vlc) | 00:24 |
| Lunks | I'm having some trouble using iptables routing on an Ubuntu server, here's my iptables settings: http://pastebin.com/f14286797 | 00:25 |
| NOmicrosoft | Indy, you mean the wireless notification area? | 00:25 |
| IndyGunFreak | xintron: because pulseaudio sucks. | 00:25 |
| dynamethod | i think only one application can use the sound resources at a time, unfortunatly | 00:25 |
| mynetdude | how do I setup/use the RD server in ubuntu? I don't see an RD server available | 00:25 |
| IndyGunFreak | NOmicrosoft: no.. | 00:25 |
| xintron | IndyGunFreak: pulseaudio? | 00:25 |
| IndyGunFreak | !pulseaudio | xintron | 00:25 |
| ubottu | xintron: PulseAudio is a sound server intended as a drop-in replacement for !ESD - See https://wiki.ubuntu.com/PulseAudio for information and installation instructions | 00:25 |
| NOmicrosoft | I cant see any other notfication area : - / | 00:25 |
| IndyGunFreak | NOmicrosoft: what irc client ar eyou using? | 00:25 |
| NOmicrosoft | XChat | 00:26 |
| mynetdude | wished pidgin had more features | 00:26 |
| IndyGunFreak | NOmicrosoft: usually the nofication area, is by your clock in thepanel.. do you see an X there for xchat(near the clock) | 00:26 |
| mynetdude | at least for the IRC stuff | 00:26 |
| IndyGunFreak | pidgin is a horrid irc client | 00:26 |
| NOmicrosoft | no | 00:26 |
| glitsj16 | xintron: have you tried http://www.pulseaudio.org/wiki/PerfectSetup#GStreamerApplications to get rythmbox working well with pulseaudio ? have no trouble with it here | 00:26 |
| IndyGunFreak | NOmicrosoft: i bet you a buffalo nickle yoru notification area is gone. | 00:26 |
| Shaba2 | mynetdude: sorry brb if you have uestion on ultravnc | 00:27 |
| Shaba2 | ggp | 00:27 |
| IndyGunFreak | do this.... right clik yoru panel, anywhere you want, choose add to panel | 00:27 |
| mynetdude | IndyGunFreak I like pidgin's IRC client | 00:27 |
| NOmicrosoft | yeah got it back now - thanks! | 00:27 |
| IndyGunFreak | NOmicrosoft: see, so it wasn't gone. | 00:27 |
| * mynetdude doesn't like xchat's overcomplex scripts | 00:27 | |
| mynetdude | what do I use to setup an RD server in ubuntu? | 00:27 |
| kheski | Does anyone know of any software to burn .nrg files? | 00:28 |
| IndyGunFreak | .nrg? | 00:28 |
| mynetdude | I thought there was a VNC server already in ubuntu | 00:28 |
| kheski | .nrg is the Nero standard. | 00:28 |
| NOmicrosoft | Well, don't take my notification block without asking next time Indy | 00:28 |
| kheski | .nrg is proprietary .iso | 00:28 |
| IndyGunFreak | NOmicrosoft: wasn't me.. i suspect its the guy pounding on your keyboard | 00:28 |
| IndyGunFreak | kheski: there's a version of nero for linux.. i'm guessing it would | 00:29 |
| mynetdude | but Nero isn't OSS | 00:29 |
| kheski | Indygunfreak, by the way I put it just as primary and it works fine. It's a jumper issue. Is Nero in the respository? | 00:29 |
| NOmicrosoft | well im going to log off to test the wireless card and may be back to pound on you if i get no joy | 00:29 |
| mynetdude | hehe | 00:29 |
| IndyGunFreak | mynetdude: this is true, but if you're using a proprietary file format, then you need to be prepared to use a closed source program to use it. | 00:29 |
| mynetdude | true | 00:30 |
| IndyGunFreak | kheski: i don't thinkso. | 00:30 |
| Ahadiel | mynetdude: Yes, VNC is included with Ubuntu. System => Prefs => Remote Desktop | 00:30 |
| Herissy | hmm | 00:30 |
| IndyGunFreak | !nero | 00:30 |
| ubottu | Factoid nero not found | 00:30 |
| kheski | IndyGunFreak, do you have experience install the linux Nero? | 00:30 |
| cygoku | Hummm, how can I rename a ntfs external drive without a format (gnome) ?? | 00:30 |
| mynetdude | Ahadiel thank you... | 00:30 |
| Herissy | remote desktop uses both VNC and rdesktop connections. | 00:30 |
| mynetdude | !iso | 00:30 |
| ubottu | To mount an ISO disc image, type « sudo mount -o loop <ISO-filename> <mountpoint> » - There is a list of useful cd image conversion tools at http://wiki.linuxquestions.org/wiki/CD_Image_Conversion - Always verify the ISO using !MD5 before !burning. | 00:30 |
| IndyGunFreak | kheski: none at all, i've just read about it, i'ma normal linux user and use k3b or gnomebaker | 00:30 |
| Ahadiel | Herissy: The client yes, but not the server. | 00:31 |
| kheski | IndyGunFreak, and you've never experience .nrg's? | 00:31 |
| Herissy | indeed just the client. | 00:31 |
| IndyGunFreak | kheski: not 1 time, but i've never used nero.. ever.. even when i was win-tarded | 00:31 |
| darkmatter7 | hello | 00:31 |
| darkmatter7 | can someone help me with a problem I'm having regarding a fresh 8.04 upgrade? | 00:31 |
| IndyGunFreak | kheski: http://www.nero.com/eng/linux3.html | 00:32 |
| mynetdude | nero isn't that bad... but it uses more resources at least on windows it doex | 00:32 |
| mynetdude | *soes | 00:32 |
| mynetdude | *does | 00:32 |
| mynetdude | damn spelling | 00:32 |
| Herissy | darkmatter7, whats the problem | 00:32 |
| Ahadiel | !ask | darkmatter7 | 00:32 |
| ubottu | darkmatter7: 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. :-) | 00:32 |
| mynetdude | !language | 00:32 |
| IndyGunFreak | kheski: not sure if there's a free ersion or not. | 00:32 |
| FloodBot2 | mynetdude: Please don't flood, use http://paste.ubuntu-nl.org to paste, don't use Enter as punctuation. | 00:32 |
| ubottu | Please watch your language and topic to help keep this channel family friendly. | 00:32 |
| mynetdude | lol, I'm copping myself :P | 00:32 |
| IndyGunFreak | mynetdude: lol.. came back to bite you | 00:32 |
| mynetdude | IndyGunFreak GMTA! | 00:32 |
| kheski | IndyGunFreak, I have no experience with install .deb or .rpm. | 00:32 |
| IndyGunFreak | kheski: well, if you're on ubuntu, you'll want to find a .deb file | 00:33 |
| Jewfro | khesk - deps are: dpkg -i packagename.deb | 00:33 |
| Jewfro | kheski, even - above to install .debs | 00:33 |
| IndyGunFreak | kheski: i'm not sure if nero has a "free" linux version | 00:33 |
| mynetdude | I think you can use .rpm but I think .rpm work differently? | 00:33 |
| darkmatter7 | I upgraded to 8.04 from 7.10 yesterday, seems like everything is fine except whenever I click on any menu such as applications, it lights up for a second then either flashes the menu or doesn't come up at all, then goes away in an instant | 00:33 |
| IndyGunFreak | !alien | mynetdude you can, but its a really bad idea | 00:33 |
| ubottu | mynetdude you can, but its a really bad idea: RPM is the RedHat Package Management system. Ubuntu uses !APT, not RPM. RPM packages are not supported (the package "alien" can allow installing them, but it's quite dangerous) | 00:33 |
| Herissy | nero doesn't | 00:33 |
| kheski | JewFro, Thank you. | 00:34 |
| mynetdude | ubottu I thought you were a bot? | 00:34 |
| ubottu | mynetdude: Error: I am only a bot, please don't think I'm intelligent :) | 00:34 |
| kheski | JewFro, also though. It appears there's an automatic deb installer. | 00:34 |
| IndyGunFreak | so kheski if you want it, you'll probably have to buy it. | 00:34 |
| IndyGunFreak | mynetdude: it is a bot. | 00:34 |
| kheski | IndyGunFreak, I only need it for 2 burns. | 00:34 |
| Jewfro | kheski, oh yeah, forgot about that :) | 00:34 |
| mynetdude | but it responded to my comment about .rpm | 00:34 |
| ghindo | After I attempted to resize my swap space, hibernate stopped working. How do I get it to start functioning again? | 00:35 |
| mynetdude | that sucker is so inteligent despite what it thinks | 00:35 |
| Ahadiel | mynetdude: [16:33] <IndyGunFreak> !alien | mynetdude you can, but its a really bad idea | 00:35 |
| mynetdude | oh missed it | 00:35 |
| Jewfro | kheski, there's actually a program in the repos to convert .nrg's to .iso's | 00:35 |
| Ahadiel | mynetdude: Usually IRC bot triggers start with a ! | 00:35 |
| mynetdude | hence why I like pidgin IRC | 00:35 |
| IndyGunFreak | !ubottu | kheski thats because i know everything.. :) | 00:35 |
| jrib | mynetdude: IndyGunFreak is a bot too | 00:35 |
| ubottu | kheski thats because i know everything.. :): Hi! I'm #ubuntu's favorite infobot, you can search my brain yourself at http://tinyurl.com/5zfb6t - Usage info: http://wiki.ubuntu.com/UbuntuBots | 00:35 |
| IndyGunFreak | jrib: lol | 00:35 |
| mynetdude | Ahadiel true, but I missed his trigger | 00:35 |
| kheski | Jewfro, I tried that. Its functionality is minimal. | 00:35 |
| kheski | Jewfro, also. Shalom! | 00:35 |
| Jewfro | kheski, shalom - well like you said - burn them once - then re-rip isos | 00:36 |
| mynetdude | !shalom | 00:36 |

| darkmatter7 | I upgraded to 8.04 from 7.10 yesterday, seems like everything is fine except whenever I click on any menu such as applications, it lights up for a second then either flashes the menu or doesn't come up at all, then goes away in an instant, does anyone know what's wrong and how I can fix it? | 00:36 |
| Jewfro | lol | 00:36 |
| kheski | Indygunfreak, then what would I be "trying" ? | 00:36 |
| mynetdude | cool I'll brb again | 00:36 |
| IndyGunFreak | kheski: i agree w/ Jewfro .. get on windows and re-rip as iros | 00:36 |
| IndyGunFreak | *isos | 00:36 |
| IndyGunFreak | kheski: probably nothing to be truthful... | 00:36 |
| kheski | Indygunfreak, I don't currently easily have this capability. | 00:37 |
| Herissy | darkmatter7, are you double or single clicking on it and try the opposite. | 00:37 |
| darkmatter7 | neither work | 00:37 |
| IndyGunFreak | right click and choose open | 00:38 |
| darkmatter7 | and, fyi, I am on my moms laptop right now because I couldn't get my pidgin menu to open up to sign on to irc | 00:38 |
| darkmatter7 | the right click menu is the same | 00:38 |
| Herissy | ok try CTRL - ALT - Backspace | 00:38 |
| IndyGunFreak | darkmatter7: thats a blessing in disguise..lol | 00:38 |
| darkmatter7 | it flashes on for a second | 00:38 |
| Herissy | restart x | 00:38 |
| IndyGunFreak | yup | 00:38 |
| darkmatter7 | I've restarted | 00:38 |
| darkmatter7 | so I doubt it's an x thing | 00:39 |
| IndyGunFreak | reinstall. | 00:39 |
| darkmatter7 | but I'll try | 00:39 |
| darkmatter7 | hold on | 00:39 |
| kheski | IndyGunFreak, JewFro, for future knowledge The Nero version was simple to install and worked immediately. | 00:39 |
| gramm | anybody know of any good guides to using shared libraries in c++? like, what code do i use to instruct the linker to use a specific library? do i need to learn make/makefiles? thanks in advance. | 00:39 |
| Jewfro | kheski, at least there is that | 00:39 |
| IndyGunFreak | kheski: well thats awesome.. is the "try" version gonna work for you? | 00:39 |
| kheski | IndyGunFreak, as 2x speed. But yes. | 00:39 |

| dosh8er | i am 'cannot resolve hostname | 00:40 |
| Jewfro | darkmatter - try adding a new user and log in as that user - see if all is kosher - could be some settings issue | 00:40 |
| Herissy | another thing you might try is resetting your session. | 00:41 |
| darkmatter7 | hmm, I really don't like adding extra users for security reasons | 00:41 |
| Herissy | err deleteing your old session info and creating a new one. | 00:41 |
| Jewfro | darkmatter7, remove it after your test - or loginto a diff desktop environment you've not used before even | 00:41 |
| darkmatter7 | k | 00:41 |
| darkmatter7 | actually | 00:41 |
| darkmatter7 | I can't make a new user | 00:41 |

| cypher1 | RiotingPacifist, sorry i did not understand that | 01:08 |
| dosh8er | anyone know how to fix "sudo: unable to resolve host myhost" | 01:08 |

| ubottu | Hi! I'm #ubuntu's favorite infobot, you can search my brain yourself at http://tinyurl.com/5zfb6t - Usage info: http://wiki.ubuntu.com/UbuntuBots | 01:09 |
| Shaba1 | Then just start firefox on your ubuntu machine and open a page to http://ipaddressofthewindowsmachine:5800 | 01:09 |
| cypher1 | RiotingPacifist, no nothing happened | 01:09 |
| decideci | does anyone know how to get rid of "kinit" on boot? it always tries to resume to something, then says no resume init. bla bla. some harddisk IDs... right after that my 8.04 boots fine. just trying to figure out how to get rid of that kinit resume stuff on the boot | 01:09 |
| Shaba1 | put in your password that you used when setting up ultra on the windows machine | 01:10 |
| Shaba1 | and viola there you will see your windows desktop | 01:10 |
| RiotingPacifist | Matthew: im not sure about gnome menus but theres a menu with terminal or console in it open that and then type xev | 01:10 |
| Matthew | sfire, I |\|oticed it whe|\| I started amarok. it seems weird that it would alter my keyboard cofig | 01:11 |
| dosh8er | ubottu: i cannot even edit my /etc/host file due to that message i get | 01:11 |
| ubottu | dosh8er: Error: I am only a bot, please don't think I'm intelligent :) | 01:11 |
| Matthew | oh I thought I had to type ru|\| okay hold o|\| | 01:11 |
| Shaba1 | Now that only thing I had problem wit doing it that way was that file tranfers would cause the linux side to disconnet. But that was becasue I think I had a REALLY old version of ultravnc running on the windows machine. | 01:11 |
| Flannel | dosh8er: restart your system, that may fix it. If it doesn't, reboot into the recovery console (at the GRUB menu, choose recovery console) and you can do it there | 01:11 |
| mynetdude | Shaba1 yeah I have a newer version but I think mine needs to be updated... mine is crashing when I do certain things as well | 01:12 |
| RiotingPacifist | cypher1: hmm well its not what i thought, what type of card do you have? if its nvidia/ati it may be that the binary drivers are no longer installed so its falling back on the OSS drivers | 01:12 |
| Shaba1 | I had to at my old job because all of the workstations and the firewall I set up were set up for that version and I just never replace the viewerside here at home when I left the company last year | 01:12 |
| cypher1 | no its intel i915GM integrated | 01:12 |
| dosh8er | thanks guys/gals/bots! i am on my way out the door to go over to the office and REBOOT | 01:13 |
| Matthew | this is what happeed whe I pressed |\| http://pastebin.ubuntu.com/22249/ | 01:13 |
| RiotingPacifist | cypher1: hmm, is something hogging the cpu? | 01:13 |
| ChaosTheory_ | kitche: Yep, it works. =] | 01:14 |
| Shaba1 | It also might be the linux version of java mynetdude | 01:14 |
| Shaba1 | Because i have done that same thing using two windows machines over the internet and it worked like a charm. Although slower becasue of java. | 01:15 |
| cypher1 | RiotingPacifist, i can see Xgl in top | 01:15 |
| MeVsTheVoices | How would I use STDIN but not from a file. So like echo < "I want you to use this data | 01:16 |
| MeVsTheVoices | " | 01:16 |
| MeVsTheVoices | But have it not interpret that as a filename | 01:16 |
| Matthew | uppercase N works just Not lowercase | 01:16 |
| remi | I've got a problem, SHIFT+Insert doesn't work anymore, and now SHIFT+H pastes whatever is in the clipboard... :/ | 01:17 |
| RiotingPacifist | Matthew: that says that it is being picked up by the x server so the problem must be with gnome/compiz (there is probably a shortct hogging the n key but i dont know anything about gnome so cant help) | 01:17 |
| Flannel | Matthew: try hitting capslock once, then holding shift and hitting n (so your shift cancels the capslock) | 01:17 |
| Flannel | MeVsTheVoices: echo "blah blah blah" | program | 01:18 |
| Matthew | flannel that worked | 01:18 |
| Leefmc | Does Linux have a Screen Recording software, that records audio at the same time? | 01:18 |
| keith- | with the hardy install, how can I disable dma on my cd drive prior to installing? | 01:18 |
| * Leefmc waves to Flannel | 01:18 | |
| Flannel | Matthew: So, what it is is a N without the shift key. Looks like "n" by itself is mapped to something, and then the shift-n isnt. (Not that this gives you a solution, but it certainly helps better understand the problem) | 01:19 |
| cypher1 | RiotingPacifist, why is X running Xgl !!? | 01:19 |
| Leefmc | Flannel: You will go down in my history books as a very dedicated helper. I've never gotten the in depth, and dedicated, help you gave me for free hehe. It wont be forgotten :) | 01:19 |
| Flannel | Matthew: Go to... gnome key binding whatever thing, and see if n is mapped somewhere | 01:19 |
| Flannel | Leefmc: No problem. | 01:19 |
| Matthew | flannel, riotingpacifist, thanks. I closed amarok and it started working again. i must have assigned n as a shortcut in amarok or something | 01:19 |
| MeVsTheVoices | Thank you muchly Flannel | 01:19 |
| Alrekr | Hi there, new one here. I'm trying to install OpenTTD, but I cannot copy anything to the 'data' folder. The whole folder (/usr/share/games/openttd) appears to be locked of for anyone but root. Which leeds to my question: How the heck do I lock in as root? | 01:20 |
| Flannel | Leefmc: https://wiki.ubuntu.com/ScreenCasts has a list of software | 01:20 |
| RiotingPacifist | cypher1: I dont know much about intel, but try stopping xgl in xorg, my guess is that xgl is needed for compiz which is installed by default but something is broken in xgl | 01:20 |
| jedimind | i cant seem to record and compiz effects while recording with Istanbul - any ideas ? | 01:20 |
| Matthew | i feel dumb :P thanks for the help guys | 01:20 |
| Leefmc | Flannel: Interesting, ty | 01:20 |
| Flannel | Leefmc: I'm sure one of those (if not all) does audio at the same time | 01:20 |
| keith- | is there no cheat code for disabling dma on a cdrom drive on the install disc? someone... | 01:21 |
| Leefmc | Flannel: Any personal experience/word of mouth preference? | 01:21 |
| Flannel | Alrekr: You don't log in as root, you just use sudo to move stuff there. | 01:21 |
| cypher1 | RiotingPacifist, ok thanks! i saw a forum where it mentioned how to stop Xgl, let me try it out.. http://ohioloco.ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=587098 | 01:21 |
| RiotingPacifist | Matthew: np, i once bound left click to something which made fixing it pretty hard | 01:21 |
| powertool08 | I'm trying to check an option in an ncurses menu but spacebar won't put an 'x' next to it, how do I check it? | 01:21 |
| Leefmc | Flannel: Although google is helping with the keyword "screencast" :) i was using the wrong terminology | 01:21 |
| will02 | does anyone know if the ps3 can handle ogg vorbis files? | 01:22 |
| MeVsTheVoices | Yes it can | 01:22 |
| Alrekr | Uh.. I'll try and search for some 'how to use sudo'-guides :) | 01:22 |
| julian2495322 | i burned a ppc version of ubuntu but my powerbook wont boot from it. i am holding c when i turn the laptop on | 01:22 |
| Flannel | Leefmc: Uh, I think Istanbul is the popular one. There's actually a tutorial here: https://wiki.ubuntu.com/ScreencastTeam/RecordingScreencasts Although that assumes you're going to do the audio later (well, you're going to stitch the audio together later, I suppose you could always hit record on video/audio at the same time, and then just line them up easily enough, if all else fails) | 01:22 |
| scobby | my keyshortcuts for chaning resultion dont work anymore, anyone has a tip ?? | 01:22 |
| RiotingPacifist | !sudo | Alrekr. | 01:23 |
| ubottu | Alrekr.: sudo is a command to run programs with superuser privileges ("root"). Look at https://help.ubuntu.com/community/RootSudo for more information. For graphical applications see !gksu (Gnome), or !kdesu (KDE) | 01:23 |
| Flannel | Alrekr: It's pretty easy, instead of cp stuff elsewhere, you just prepend sudo, so it becomes sudo cp stuff elsewhere | 01:23 |
| MeVsTheVoices | will02, Ps3 does not support ogg vorbis audio by itself. But it does support the ogg muxer | 01:23 |
| Flannel | Alrekr: If you want to open nautilus as root, you can do that too, with `gksu nautilus`. Close that window as soon as you're done, as its easy to accidentally break something with a stray mouse click | 01:23 |
| will02 | mevsthevoices, if i were to rip a dvd using thoggen into the ogg vorbis format, would the ps3 be able to read that? | 01:24 |
| scobby | my keyshortcuts for chaning resultion dont work anymore, anyone has a tip ?? | 01:24 |
| MeVsTheVoices | will02, If you are trying to rip off just the audio. No | 01:25 |
| gramm | how do i get out of vim? | 01:25 |
| Flannel | gramm: escape, :q! | 01:25 |
| gramm | Flannel: thx | 01:25 |
| Flannel | gramm: that'll quit wihtout saving changes. If you want to save changes, it's :wd | 01:25 |
| Flannel | er, :wq | 01:25 |
| will02 | mevsthevoices, i mean the whole thing, i have a copy of monty python and the holy grail and i want to stream it via fuppes | 01:25 |
| Alrekr | which part of 'new one here' did you guys not understand? I've been running Ubuntu 8.04 for roughly three days now - while studying for my exams. Ubottu, thanks for the link. My hits where of no use ;) And you others: Thanks for the help, I know I'm gonna use your comments later on ;) | 01:26 |
| jedimind | i cant seem to record and compiz effects while recording with Istanbul - any ideas ? | 01:26 |
| MeVsTheVoices | No, PS3 does not support it. http://boardsus.playstation.com/playstation/board/message?board.id=ps3media&thread.id=105504 but if you are using fuppes, play around with cfg file ffmpeg should be able to transcode it on the fly for you | 01:26 |
| will02 | ok | 01:27 |
| cypher1 | RiotingPacifist, it worked! thanks | 01:27 |
| cypher1 | RiotingPacifist, after almost 3 weeks i got it corrected | 01:27 |
| Flannel | Alrekr: alt-f2, then type "gksu nautilus", then drag/drop stuff, then close the window when you're done | 01:28 |
| Alrekr | simple as that? geez.. Thx :) | 01:28 |

| mynetdude | shortc|laptop I'd like to try the GUI way of doing it anyway, I'm anti CLI | 01:47 |

| shortc|laptop | mynetdude: You're not going to be able to map a network "drive", as Linux doesn't have a concept of such things. | 01:48 |
| mynetdude | shortc|laptop is there any info on doing this the GUI way? | 01:48 |

| mynetdude | shortc|laptop I know windows does... but I also noticed that picasa doesn't see C:\filesystem as you said it doesn't have the concept of drive letters | 01:48 |
| shortc|laptop | mynetdude: It's been ages since I've used Ubuntu's GNOME interface, but it's one of the options in the center menu. I think it's called "Connect to remote computer" or such. | 01:48 |
| flouge1 | anything i need to do to connect to the mysql server | 01:49 |
| CaptainMorgan | can anyone recommend a hardware-RAID implementation that they have worked with, of which Ubuntu enjoyed seeing? | 01:49 |
| mynetdude | shortc|laptop I just need to mount a network drive... drive letters are irrelevant as picasa won't look at network shares | 01:49 |
| flouge1 | from an outside location rather than having to connect to it from local host | 01:49 |
| nickrud | flouge1 for administration? | 01:49 |
| mynetdude | connect to remote computer? how is that going to help with picasa? | 01:49 |
| shortc|laptop | mynetdude: The GUI way of doing it is only going to appear in Nautilus, IIRC. But I could be wrong. | 01:49 |
| flouge1 | ya | 01:49 |
| flouge1 | i did the grant thing in mysql | 01:49 |
| flouge1 | but other pc's cant connect to the mysql server | 01:49 |
| nickrud | flouge1 install phpmyadmin on the server, or use mysql-admin | 01:49 |
| mynetdude | shortc|laptop I guess we'll find out, I think thats what we want... whatever nautilus sees so will picasa | 01:50 |
| IndyGunFreak | CaptainMorgan: i had a horrid time w/ a RAID setup.. i ended up just disabling raid | 01:50 |
| flouge1 | mythtv front ends need to connect to it | 01:50 |
| CaptainMorgan | IndyGunFreak, sw or hw ? | 01:50 |
| shortc|laptop | mynetdude: The "Connect to remote computer" allows you to set up a virtual folder that lets you access the files on an FTP server, SSH server or Windows computer. | 01:50 |
| IndyGunFreak | CaptainMorgan: hw | 01:50 |
| DG19075 | mynetdude: It's in the Places menu, titled Connect yo Server | 01:50 |
| shortc|laptop | mynetdude: It's a catch-all for remote filesystems. | 01:50 |

| nickrud | flouge1 got a firewall up? | 01:50 |
| whik | whats the command to install infra recorder? | 01:51 |
| mynetdude | shortc|laptop I don't understand though... when I log into the windows share, the volume is automatically mounted on the desktop... isn't that enough? | 01:51 |
| mynetdude | well lets try using the connect to remote computer then | 01:51 |
| flouge1 | is there a firewall defaulted on ubuntu? | 01:51 |
| thundarr | can you overclock your system if you are using ubuntu??? | 01:51 |
| thundarr | I cannot seem to get mine to overclock | 01:51 |
| shortc|laptop | mynetdude: Picasa is based on WINE, which is based off of the fundamental Linux filesystem. IIRC, "Connect to Server" creates a virtual filesystem which is only visible within GNOME. | 01:52 |
| NetEcho | bazhang | 01:52 |
| nickrud | mynetdude no, that's a virtual connection, through the gnome virtual filesystem. If the app doesn't use [g]vfs, then you won't see the mount from places -> connect to server | 01:52 |
| NetEcho | err | 01:52 |
| flouge1 | hmm mysql port doesnt show up on a port scan | 01:52 |
| thundarr | at least system monitor does not show any oveclocking speed difference | 01:52 |
| nickrud | flouge1 on the local computer, run sudo netstat -tlpn , see if it's running and where it's listening | 01:52 |
| whik | whats the command to install infra recorder? | 01:52 |
| mynetdude | shortc|laptop, would it be "connect to server"? | 01:53 |

| mynetdude | there is a linux version through the google repos | 01:54 |
| shortc|laptop | mynetdude: It uses winelib, which is basically a library that lets you compile Windows applications on Linux. | 01:54 |
| flouge1 | hmm it should prob be listiing on 0.0.0.0:3306 | 01:54 |

| Mecha25 | ah. that'll do it. processor's like 1.6GHZ isn't it? | 02:00 |
| offline | mecha : nope.. proc is 1.4Ghz | 02:01 |
| Shaba1 | IndyGunFreak: saying its pretty straightforth do not explain how to do it. | 02:01 |
| mynetdude | offline I didn't find mine, it came to me :P | 02:01 |
| jahnkeanater | how do i get apache working from other computers if i type in my ip | 02:01 |
| Mecha25 | offline: they use those for students at the school I work at, I know what you're running up against there. Try Xubuntu | 02:01 |
| carlitos__ | hola amigos ubunteros | 02:01 |
| Mecha25 | offline: it'll work much much faster, and you'll have more free ram | 02:01 |
| offline | Mynetdude : ahh.. ok then :D | 02:01 |
| whik | whats the command to install infra recorder? | 02:01 |
| IndyGunFreak | Shaba1: i didn't tell you anything was straightforward, i asked if you'd set the audio preferences in those respective programs, to use Alsa? | 02:01 |
| mynetdude | Shaba1, its not exactly straight forward IMO, go to sources or something... its in system>admin>sources | 02:02 |
| * lensy has a home directory problem | 02:02 | |
| lensy | a VERY LARGE home directory problem (sorry for the caps) | 02:02 |
| mynetdude | offline are you using x64bit? Cuz when I was using x64bit the drivers were not available | 02:02 |
| mynetdude | hmm I couldn't connect to the windows share | 02:02 |
| whik | ?? anyone?? | 02:02 |
| IndyGunFreak | Shaba1: oh about the repo, well, it is straightfoward, it depends on the repo, so i can't really give you specific instructions w/o knowing what you want to add | 02:02 |
| offline | Mecha25: what bothers me is when i maximize or minimize windows, they not went very smoothly.. other than that, i love ubuntu :D | 02:02 |
| Cronik | /msg ubottu etiquette | 02:03 |
| mynetdude | I thought the address for the share was: smb://bigoffice/ | 02:03 |
| lensy | what are the default permissions for user's home directories? i messed mine up and its in 777 atm | 02:03 |
| IndyGunFreak | lol | 02:03 |
| offline | Mecha25 : nope.. the only x64 is my vista on PC | 02:03 |
| lensy | ? | 02:03 |
| mynetdude | ah | 02:03 |
| lensy | anyone?? | 02:03 |
| Mecha25 | offline: yeah, Xubuntu will fix that. trust me, I used to run it till I got a new laptop, I was on a thinkpad running 800MHz with no graphics card and Xubuntu ran like a dream | 02:03 |
| jahnkeanater | how do i start apache | 02:03 |
| IndyGunFreak | lensy: lol, need to pay attention, and be patient.. should be read and write o the first one, read only, on the second one, and read only on jthe third | 02:04 |
| jahnkeanater | -k start | 02:04 |
| lensy | lndyGunFreak: can i have that in numbers please like 664 or 555 or 777... | 02:04 |
| lensy | thanks | 02:04 |
| jahnkeanater | something like that | 02:04 |
| offline | Mecha25: Xubuntu ? hmm is it better than ubuntu ? | 02:04 |
| IndyGunFreak | lensy: i haveno clu what the numbers for thatwould be.. you're on your own | 02:04 |
| Shaba1 | well not like a dream Mecha25 but it does run | 02:04 |
| mynetdude | yeah ubuntu is VERY nice... even though its a lot of work to configure things and my graphics is glitchy | 02:05 |
| Mecha25 | offline: it's exactly like ubuntu, but it uses XFCE instead of GNOME. It's much more geared towards slower PC's | 02:05 |
| mynetdude | you can run kbuntu without a gpu? | 02:05 |
| lensy | xubuntu is the same as ubuntu ecxcept it has the xcfe window manager rather than GNOME | 02:05 |
| nickrud | lensy 755 is normal | 02:05 |
| IndyGunFreak | lensy: your point? | 02:05 |
| Mecha25 | offline: it has some interface differences, but it's pretty similar to gnome, actually it's a good bit simpler in my opinion. | 02:05 |
| lensy | nothing | 02:05 |
| lensy | just saying | 02:05 |
| Shaba1 | But I think my slowness is more due to the video chip drivers I had to installl | 02:05 |
| lensy | nickrud: THANKS THANKS! | 02:05 |
| offline | mynetdude : yep you got it :D i like it since the first time i installed it... i guess i'll try to install it on my PC for max performance | 02:05 |
| Cronik | is there a networking guru handy, have major network performance issues with any tcp transfers not exceeding about 1/4 of what they should be getting. | 02:06 |
| IndyGunFreak | Shaba1: using ATI? | 02:06 |
| * mynetdude uses ATI | 02:06 | |
| mynetdude | as you all know | 02:06 |
| Shak- | IndyGunFreak: ok I just fixed it by installing the libflashsupport package, thanks for the pulseaudio tip | 02:06 |
| flouge1 | how do you define it so any host can connect to a server | 02:06 |
| dpn` | can anyone point me to a deb for ff3? | 02:06 |
| offline | Mecha25: i'll give it a try :D i need to download the ISO first | 02:06 |
| Mecha25 | oh my god, ATI on ubuntu is annoying, I wish I had nVidia | 02:06 |
| IndyGunFreak | Shak-: np | 02:06 |
| lensy | IndyGunFreak: i dont have a problem with xcfe, infact i prefer it to GNOME and i would use it except im too lazy to customise it :P | 02:06 |
| Shaba1 | IndyGunFreak: a wierd one Via UniChrome Pro | 02:06 |
| Mecha25 | offline: have fun, it should work much faster | 02:06 |
| dpn` | i should say, a FF3 deb for feisty? | 02:07 |
| IndyGunFreak | Shaba1: look and see how lspci identifies it.. its most likely an intel, nvidia or ati chipset. | 02:07 |
| ALPSINC | hello all | 02:07 |
| ALPSINC | hey, how can I install software over multiple systems, one shot like with apt or similar | 02:07 |
| mynetdude | wonder if kubuntu would use different ATI drivers? | 02:07 |
| offline | Mecha25 & mynetdude : thanks :) | 02:07 |
| marshall_ | i need to backup around 10 gigs of stuff on my desktop computer, both running hardy and on a wireless network, and I was wondering what the fastest way to do this would be. I have an ethernet cable (not a crossover) and I could plug NIC to NIC if necessary. any ideas? | 02:07 |
| * lensy showers thanks down on nickkrud once more... | 02:07 | |
| Mecha25 | np | 02:07 |
| lensy | :) | 02:07 |
| === Syzygy is now known as Syzygy2 | ||
| IndyGunFreak | marshall_: nic-nic, you'll need a crossover cable. | 02:08 |
| sfire | marshall_: in order to plug NIC to NIC it has to be a cross over... just use the wireless network | 02:08 |
| Mecha25 | syzygy, run UT2004 much? hehehe | 02:08 |
| IndyGunFreak | beyond that, either burn about 5-6 DVD's, or get an external drive. | 02:08 |
| Syzygy2 | Mecha25: haha, indeed | 02:08 |
| marshall_ | sfire, IndyGunFreak: ok, how do i get them connected wirelessly? | 02:08 |
| IndyGunFreak | marshall_: that i don't know... | 02:08 |
| sfire | marshall_: you don't have a wireless access point? | 02:08 |
| jahnkeanater | apache2 help | 02:09 |
| Syzygy2 | I'm actually here wondering how I can get the "restricted hardware" icon in the notifications menu to go away. :/ | 02:09 |
| Mecha25 | mynetdude, by any chance do you use dual monitors on your ATI setup? | 02:09 |
| Shaba1 | Hell I could not even get gutsy to instal on this laptop back in october | 02:09 |
| mynetdude | why can't he just wirelessly connect to the other wireless pc? | 02:09 |
| Shaba1 | spent 12 hours trying | 02:09 |
| jedimind | mynetdude: that would just be way too simple | 02:09 |
| marshall_ | sfire, yeah i have a wireless home network, whats the fastest method to transfer between them? | 02:09 |
| jedimind | marshall_: cut'n'paste over the wifi ? | 02:09 |
| mynetdude | Mecha25 its a laptop, and I have tried to get dual monitor config but it won't do it | 02:09 |
| sfire | marshall_: just get the IP of each 'ifconfig' and use sftp | 02:09 |
| Shaba1 | then came here and someone told me about xubuntu | 02:09 |
| sfire | or whatever protocol of your choice :) | 02:09 |
| Mecha25 | mynetdude: I got it working, but it's finnicky | 02:10 |
| sfire | they are both on the same network | 02:10 |
| Shaba1 | 45 minutes later I was up and running | 02:10 |
| ALPSINC | marshall_: i would use apache, but sftp works also | 02:10 |
| Syzygy2 | I know that I'm using non-free drivers, because I have to, but I don't need the icon stuck taking up real estate to tell me something I already know. | 02:10 |
| mynetdude | jedimind I am probably mistaken, but I thought you could do wifi to wifi without the AP or router direct peer to peer like you can with a crossover cable | 02:10 |
| ALPSINC | i have one quick question, how can I install software over multiple systems, one shot like with apt or similar | 02:10 |
| mynetdude | Mecha25 ATI right? | 02:10 |
| naknomik | I'm trying to compile a program (just hello world) in C but when I run gcc it says stdin.h is not found. What's wrong? Am I missing some packages? How do I pull those in? | 02:10 |
| Mecha25 | mynetdude: mine's a laptop too, and it works.... but I have to reconfigure it at every boot, jiggle the screen resolution. yeah ATI | 02:10 |
| mynetdude | Mecha25 cuz all my desktop are nVidia... so I hope dual head will work better | 02:10 |
| Mecha25 | alpsinc: look on lifehacker, it's there somewhere | 02:11 |
| ALPSINC | Mecha25: ok thanks | 02:11 |
| mynetdude | Mecha25 which ATI do you have? | 02:11 |
| Mecha25 | mynetdude: ATI Radeon xPress 1150 | 02:11 |
| IndyGunFreak | Nvidia and Dualhead, is a breeze | 02:11 |
| derekS | does anyone here use sendxmpp? i am trying to get it working and it won't... wondering if it is broken in hardy? | 02:11 |
| Mecha25 | mynetdude: dell inspiron 1501 | 02:11 |
| Shaba1 | IndyGunFreak: wht is lspci? | 02:11 |
| mynetdude | Mecha25 I have the ATI Mobility X700 | 02:11 |
| Lunks | What vpn server is the simplest to install and use? | 02:12 |
| mynetdude | Mecha25 I don't think a Dell branded PC helps either | 02:12 |
| IndyGunFreak | Shaba1: a command you put in a terminal.. open a terminal, type lspci and hit enter it'll spit out crap about your systems devices, see ifyou can find your graphcis device in there. | 02:12 |
| kwan | i can't remember what the archiving tool for Rar is called | 02:12 |
| Mecha25 | mynetdude: do you have a secondary monitor to use for dual screen? actually, dell and ubuntu work great together, HP not so much | 02:12 |
| jahnkeanater | can any see what i type | 02:12 |
| naknomik | I'm trying to compile a program (just hello world) in C but when I run gcc it says stdin.h is not found. What's wrong? Am I missing some packages? How do I pull those in? | 02:12 |
| Mecha25 | jahnkeanater: yes | 02:12 |
| jahnkeanater | ok | 02:12 |
| jahnkeanater | thx | 02:12 |
| mynetdude | Mecha25 good point about Dell, my bad they are selling Dell with linux already | 02:12 |
| jahnkeanater | i have gone to a couple servers and no one answers me | 02:13 |
| Mecha25 | mynetdude: yep, I had it working before that started happening though | 02:13 |
| === dmsuperman is now known as Guest2381 | ||
| mynetdude | Mecha25 yeah I do have lots of monitors that can be used as a 2ndary but ubuntu doesn't show it as a 2nd I can only clone it | 02:13 |
| === Guest2381 is now known as dmsuperman | ||
| kwan | naknomik, maybe you want to include stdio.h instead | 02:13 |
| jahnkeanater | how do you get apache working for the first time | 02:13 |
| IndyGunFreak | mynetdude: are you using Nvidia? | 02:13 |
| mynetdude | Mecha25 you probably got rich off them for your ideas :P | 02:13 |
| Lunks | What vpn server is the simplest to install and use? | 02:13 |
| mynetdude | IndyGunFreak no, ATI Mobility X700 on laptop | 02:13 |
| IndyGunFreak | mynetdude: oh. | 02:13 |
| Mecha25 | mynetdude: yeah, it did that for me for ages. You have to essentially break your XOrg.conf to get it working | 02:13 |
| kwan | I can't remember what the archiving tool for Rar is called. Can someone please tell me? | 02:14 |
| naknomik | kwan: : that's just a typo, I have indeed stdio.h in my program | 02:14 |
| mynetdude | I don't really "NEED" dual screen, but I wanted to see it work cuz it could come in handy... but since its a laptop I prefer to clone it | 02:14 |
| === Cynical_ is now known as Herissy | ||
| marshall_ | sfire, sftp isnt going that fast, maybe around 250kb/s | 02:14 |
| webjames_ | kwan "sudo apt-get install rar unrar" | 02:14 |
| mynetdude | Mecha25 interesting... its not worth the trouble imo | 02:14 |
| Bhavesh | rar/unrar ? | 02:14 |
| sfire | marshall_: FTP would be faster.. but you have to set it up | 02:14 |
| indio | Hi. Which package is recommended for dyndns.org? | 02:14 |
| kwan | thx webjames_ :) | 02:14 |
| pmo | can i mix debian packages and ubuntu packages ? | 02:14 |
| naknomik | kwan: gcc complains stdio.h No such file or directory. | 02:14 |
| mynetdude | Mecha25 my new laptop with Vista has an intel GPU so I'm not sure how THAT would do with ubuntu | 02:14 |
| marshall_ | sfire, uhh this is gonna take 5+ hours with sftp | 02:14 |
| jrib | naknomik: install build-essential. It will pull in libc6-dev | 02:15 |
| mynetdude | marshall_ lol :( | 02:15 |
| marshall_ | sfire, it would take like 4 minutes to setup ftp i think | 02:15 |
| Mecha25 | mynetdude: Intel chipsets work great, it's all software so there's no proprietary drivers | 02:15 |
| ALPSINC | Mecha25: humm... i can't seem to find it | 02:15 |
| marshall_ | mynetdude, :( | 02:15 |
| mynetdude | Mecha25 even for 3D? | 02:15 |
| Herissy | intel graphics work great now. | 02:15 |
| webjames_ | can someone tell me what is the best external drive to use with Ubuntu, i was thinking WD MyBook II or Seagate Freeagent? | 02:15 |
| Herissy | as of 8.04 | 02:15 |
| kwan | naknomik, hmm... maybe you haven't installed glibc. stdio.h is part of std c. | 02:15 |
| fooks | whats the difference between pulseaudio and alsa? | 02:15 |
| Mecha25 | mynetdude: yeah, two of my friends have it, and it works great | 02:15 |
| Mecha25 | apsinc: I'll take a look | 02:15 |
| sfire | webjames_: they will all work | 02:15 |
| pmo | can i mix debian packages and ubuntu packages ? | 02:16 |
| Bhavesh | wbjames: they will work the same, since they be connecting to pc through usb/firewire | 02:16 |
| IndyGunFreak | pmo: not a good idea if you can avoid it. | 02:16 |
| mynetdude | really? hmm maybe I ought to buy another laptop and put XP back on this blasted one | 02:16 |
| jahnkeanater | webjames i would get a 3.5 hard drive case | 02:16 |
| Herissy | pmo they would be one in the same. | 02:16 |
| IndyGunFreak | Herissy: not necessarily | 02:16 |
| Bhavesh | pmo: i would not advise to mix them.. it's better to keep them seperate | 02:16 |
| Herissy | ubuntu is based on debian | 02:16 |
| jahnkeanater | that way any old hard drive laying around you can use as a usb | 02:16 |
| webjames_ | okay, thanks guys | 02:16 |
| IndyGunFreak | Herissy: and thats where the similarities end | 02:16 |
| Bhavesh | webjames_ are you planning on carrying it around? or just keep it stationary? | 02:16 |
| Herissy | fair enough | 02:16 |
| IndyGunFreak | they are not the same, pure and simple.. | 02:16 |
| jahnkeanater | 1 sec | 02:17 |
| Mecha25 | alpsinc: here you go | 02:17 |
| pmo | i am looking for tightvncserver, but cant find it on ubuntu :(.. but maybe because i am trying hairy | 02:17 |

| webjames_ | both the wd mybook and freeagent are around £60 i've got a raid array but it's out of space | 02:17 |
| offline | IndyGunFreak: but i installed some deb and some ubuntu packages | 02:17 |
| ALPSINC | thanks | 02:17 |
| IndyGunFreak | pmo: its in the repositories | 02:17 |
| IndyGunFreak | offline: i didn't say it never works... i said its not a good idea, and its generally advised against | 02:17 |
| webjames_ | Bhavesh, it'll be still, just can't fit any more drives on my case | 02:17 |
| jahnkeanater | you use ide or sata | 02:18 |
| offline | IndyGunFreak : sorry my bad :) i didn't read carefully | 02:18 |
| pmo | IndyGunFreak, i have only hardy on sources.list that is maybe why, thank you.. | 02:18 |
| kwan | naknomik, ??? | 02:18 |
| jahnkeanater | webjames do you use ide or sata | 02:18 |
| fooks | whats the difference between pulseaudio and alsa? | 02:18 |
| webjames_ | jahnkeanater, sata | 02:18 |
| IndyGunFreak | pmo: its in the hardy repositories.. you don't have to add a special repo for it. | 02:18 |
| Mecha25 | fooks: pulseaudio runs on top of alsa | 02:18 |
| naknomik | kwan: installing build-essential solved the problem. Thanks jrib | 02:19 |
| IndyGunFreak | pulse is buggy and annoying.. alsa generally works | 02:19 |
| thundarr | is oveclocking with ubuntu possible?? | 02:19 |
| Mecha25 | fooks: it's all kinda complicated, you can do anything with it but it's not simple | 02:19 |
| onthefence928 | hey how do i recover old "copied" text? | 02:19 |
| pmo | IndyGunFreak, then becaose i have only "main" :) | 02:19 |
| jahnkeanater | do you have a hard drive that you dont use any where | 02:19 |
| dirtbag | Hi all, did ubuntu 8 take out that program that allows you to look at your files on a windows partition? | 02:19 |
| fooks | Mecha25, hmm i see | 02:19 |
| Flannel | thundarr: overclocking is something you do on the hardware level, OSes have nothing to do with it | 02:19 |
| fooks | Mecha25, does it get interrupted when you run jack audio? | 02:19 |
| onthefence928 | does gnome have a built-in clipboard that will store recent copied text? | 02:19 |
| fooks | Mecha25, or can you run jack audio on top of it? | 02:19 |
| dmsuperman | onthefence928, ...ctrl + c && ctrl + v | 02:19 |
| Mecha25 | fooks: yes! it does interrupt it on my machine, there is a way to interface the two but it's too complicated for me to look into | 02:20 |
| webjames_ | jahnkeanater, iv'e got a case with 6 drives in it, however they're in a raid array, totalling 1tb, if i got a caddy i could only put one drive in there | 02:20 |
| thundarr | flannel: I understand that I must oveclock in my bios... | 02:20 |
| Bhavesh | webjames_ look for a cheap hdd on sale and a case, and put an external drive together | 02:20 |
| dmsuperman | onthefence928, you're looking for "glipx" | 02:20 |
| dmsuperman | onthefence928, it keeps a clipboard history, very handy | 02:20 |
| jahnkeanater | webjames http://www.ewiz.com/detail.php?p=HD-389SATA&c=fr&pid=78ea1253aacbda64adf2da3f8e38356af4b6e1ade711defb7febe133a3c99530 | 02:20 |
| Bhavesh | wow that's a lot of space | 02:20 |
| fooks | Mecha25, oh hmm | 02:20 |
| Mecha25 | fooks: what you end up doing is making jack accept alsa out as an input | 02:20 |
| onthefence928 | dmsuperman: yeah, but i overwrote something with ctrl-c by accident, so i need it back | 02:20 |
| jahnkeanater | you can buy a sata drive for this | 02:20 |
| Flannel | thundarr: That's one way, yes. | 02:20 |
| dmsuperman | onthefence928, I believe it's in the repos, look in synaptic for "glipx" | 02:20 |
| Bhavesh | i am building my first raide :) | 02:20 |
| fooks | Mecha25, i read that teamspeak3 is going to be based on pulseaudio | 02:20 |
| dmsuperman | onthefence928, if you don't already have glipx installed then what you already overwrote is gone | 02:20 |
| thundarr | flannel: when I change the fsb in the bios...system monitor does not show any difference in clock speed | 02:20 |
| Bhavesh | RAID even | 02:20 |
| Mecha25 | fooks: pulseaudio by itself works amazingly well in my experience | 02:21 |
| jahnkeanater | that is a cheap sata case enclosure | 02:21 |
| fritzophrenic | so, where would I report a problem with the documentation? | 02:21 |
| fooks | Mecha25, whats noticably different? | 02:21 |
| Mecha25 | fooks: the only thing that doesn't play well with the whole system is Jack, and that's because it works on a totally different principle | 02:21 |
| thundarr | so what do I have to do so that the overclocking shows up/works | 02:21 |
| webjames_ | Bhavesh, good luck, i went with a hardware controller so i can dual boot of the same array. but software is more flexable | 02:21 |
| IndyGunFreak | damn, $10 for an enclosure,thats alarmingly cheap... | 02:21 |
| nickrud | fritzophrenic which documentation? | 02:21 |
| fritzophrenic | https://wiki.ubuntu.com/WubiGuide#head-5aac3daad4eb9fcc3502ba1a4d6891b71b050b1d | 02:22 |
| Mecha25 | fooks: by default, unless you want to do heavy duty Jack work, you shouldn't need to change anything. The only caveat I've found is you can't have Jack and Alsa share your speakers, without some major changes. other than that, everything kinda just works | 02:22 |
| Herissy | one of these days Ill figure out how to get a higher connection speed than 24.4kb/sec on dial-up. | 02:22 |
| thundarr | flannel: is there something that I am missing | 02:22 |
| webjames_ | jahnkeanater, i've found that a drive + caddy is only a few pounds cheaper, and i don't get a nice warranty | 02:22 |
| fritzophrenic | a) doesn't work (Windows shows size 9GB, size on disk 200MB) and b) doesn't tell how to get it to mount | 02:22 |
| IndyGunFreak | webjames_: this is true, but if you've already got drives sitting around, enclosures are awesome. | 02:22 |
| shawnr34 | did an update break amarok's ipod detection> | 02:23 |
| shawnr34 | ? | 02:23 |
| Bhavesh | webjames_ the server i will be running RAID on is strictly linux | 02:23 |

| shawnr34 | can anyone help me out with this? | 02:23 |
| thundarr | flannel: thanks anyway | 02:24 |

| webjames_ | Bhavesh, i'd go software then, you can do it from the alternate install cd. i've got 4disks in raid5 1tb, and 2 disks in raid 1 120gbs for my os | 02:24 |
| IndyGunFreak | shawnr34: so its connected and mounted, what is the problem? | 02:24 |
| robbiet480 | how can i override the BAD PASSWORD: Dictionary word error message? | 02:24 |
| thundarr | flannel: powertweak... can that be installed through the terminal | 02:24 |
| shawnr34 | IndyGunFreak, amarok doesn't see it | 02:24 |
| IndyGunFreak | shawnr34: so configure amarok to see it. | 02:25 |
| thundarr | flannel: or do I have to get it from somewhere else | 02:25 |
| Flannel | thundarr: Yeah. sudo apt-get install powertweak | 02:25 |
| webjames_ | shawnr34, did you update the ipod firmware? | 02:25 |
| Mecha25 | shawnr34: you have to use the Amarok iPod plugin | 02:25 |
| shawnr34 | webjames_, no | 02:25 |
| robbiet480 | how can i override the BAD PASSWORD: Dictionary word error message? I am using LDAP authentication... | 02:25 |
| webjames_ | shawnr34, what gen is the ipod, has it worked before? | 02:25 |
| onthefence928 | if only comeone figured out how to support teh zune from linux | 02:25 |
| shawnr34 | webjames_, yes many times in amarok and rhythmbox | 02:26 |
| IndyGunFreak | onthefence928: i'm pretty sure the zune works out of the box w/ Ubuntu | 02:26 |
| nickrud | fritzophrenic well since I dispise the whole concept of wubi I won't be trying to fix that, and second, you can fix it yourself | 02:26 |
| webjames_ | shawnr34, have you tried putting it in disk mode? | 02:26 |
| nickrud | fritzophrenic it's a wiki :) | 02:26 |
| mroc | i need help getting grub back properly. i installed windows after ubuntu and now it boots xp directly. what's the proper way to fix this? | 02:26 |
| robbiet480 | no one help? | 02:26 |
| Mecha25 | nickrud, wubi is amazing, but I wish people would learn more about it instead of thinking they have completely installed Ubuntu | 02:26 |
| Bhavesh | webjames_ very nice.. and thanks for info.. for now i in process of getting a replacement server running ubuntu instead of debian, but mine will not be as much space as yours.. probably 200GB mirrored | 02:26 |
| WalloO | onthefence928, why not supporting linux from the zune instead? http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=o7bZyBSh2tQ | 02:27 |
| fritzophrenic | I'd love to, if I knew how...maybe someone on #windows can figure out how to at least get Windows to recognize the correct file size... | 02:27 |
| shawnr34 | webjames_, it actually was working in rhythmbox, but rhythmbox would open and not amarok, i only use amarok so i just uninstalled rhythmbox. but amarok still doesn't see it | 02:27 |
| webjames_ | Bhavesh, well it's whatever you need, good luck | 02:27 |
| nickrud | fritzophrenic could be that the disk isn't actually using that space yet; it's probably a virtual disk that expands on use | 02:27 |
| nickrud | fritzophrenic but hey, that's just guessing ;) | 02:28 |
| webjames_ | shawnr34, i'm not sure i use exaile with the ipod plugin | 02:28 |
| fritzophrenic | could be...though the one Wubi created uses the full 5 GB I gave it | 02:28 |
| shawnr34 | webjames_, never had to put it in disk mode before... | 02:28 |
| fritzophrenic | but now I want to see if any of my games work and how hard it is to get them to do so, and I need more space | 02:28 |
| Flannel | fritzophrenic: You should probably try asking in the wubi forums (I don't believe they have an IRC channel): http://ubuntuforums.org/forumdisplay.php?f=234 | 02:28 |
| IndyGunFreak | shawnr34: if the ipod worked in rhythmbox before you removed it, then the issue isnt' the ipod, its clearly the settings in amarok. | 02:28 |
| Zaiden | In my previous installations, I was able to somehow have esd as a sound option in the sound settings. Would anyone know how to do this without installing the esd package? | 02:28 |
| fritzophrenic | oooo thanks Flannel | 02:28 |
| IndyGunFreak | have you added the device? | 02:29 |
| webjames_ | shawnr34, perhaps try it with rhythmbox again | 02:29 |
| shawnr34 | IndyGunFreak, thats what i was thinking but can't figure it out... | 02:29 |
| nickrud | Zaiden esd has been replaced with pulse audio ... | 02:29 |
| thundarr | flannel: after I install powertweak...where am I supposed to find it??? | 02:29 |
| IndyGunFreak | shawnr34: open amarok.. and make sure your ipod is plugged in | 02:29 |
| shawnr34 | webjames_, rhythmbox doesn't do album art right | 02:29 |
| IndyGunFreak | shawnr34: do you have your ipod plugged in and amarok open? | 02:30 |
| nickrud | I was totally amazed at rhythmbox's easy ipod support (besides the art, but I can live with that) | 02:30 |
| shawnr34 | IndyGunFreak, yes | 02:30 |
| Cronik | are there any ip/icmp options that linux uses that windows doesn't for tcp transfers? | 02:30 |
| IndyGunFreak | click settings/configure amarok/media devices | 02:30 |
| Flannel | thundarr: gpowertweak is a gnome thing. It looks like it *should* be in your menu somewhere | 02:30 |
| === kupesoft_ is now known as kupesoft | ||
| nickrud | thundarr I think it ended up in system tools the time I installed it | 02:31 |
| Zaiden | What would be the best sound option if I can't use PulseAudio? | 02:31 |
| shawnr34 | IndyGunFreak, you know what.. i just plugged in my thumbdrive... amarok used to always ask me if it should handle it. it doesn't and its not in the list of avail media devices | 02:31 |
| IndyGunFreak | Zaiden: alsa? | 02:31 |
| mroc | sorry if i'm being impatient, but i have limited time to fix this. i installed xp after ubuntu. how do i get grub back? | 02:31 |
| jrib | !grub > mroc (read the private message from ubottu) | 02:32 |
| IndyGunFreak | shawnr34: is your ipod plugged in? | 02:32 |
| IndyGunFreak | i don't care if amarok sees your thumbdrive | 02:32 |
| mroc | thanks jrib | 02:32 |
| Flannel | mroc: first link in the private message ubottu sent, at that. | 02:32 |
| WalloO | hello all, what should you be interrested in monitoring on your computer you can't currently do using standard monitoring software. I'm looking for new ideas. Monitoring temperature (hdd, cpu, chipt video card), fan speed, voltage, cpu freqency, network speed, connected wifi, battery, memory, controling fan speed, video card overclock are already supported). Please, give me some suggestions. | 02:32 |
| shawnr34 | IndyGunFreak, yes it is | 02:32 |
| IndyGunFreak | then try auto detecting it.. see if that works | 02:32 |
| Flannel | WalloO: #ubuntu-offtopic would be the place for that, not here. Thanks | 02:32 |
| nickrud | WalloO monitoring the monitoring software? | 02:32 |
| webjames_ | shawnr34, i'm not really sure. i haven't used my ipod since it packed-up last month, i never used amrok or rhythmbox. i though it could be a hardware issue - but it's not obviously, if you think you messed up your amrok config files you could delete them and start again | 02:33 |
| WalloO | nickrud, good idea... :) | 02:33 |
| Drk_Guy | Hi guys | 02:34 |
| Drk_Guy | Ubuntu won't recognize my gamepad's dpad | 02:34 |
| WalloO | Flannel, since I was here, I just asked... someone with a good idea can be anywhere... :) But I will follow your suggestion | 02:34 |
| shawnr34 | IndyGunFreak, amarok is open and plugged in | 02:34 |
| IndyGunFreak | shawnr34: ok, did you do what i said? | 02:34 |
| threexk | hello. How can you make windows stay in different virtual desktops? | 02:35 |
| threexk | nevermind, disregard | 02:35 |
| shawnr34 | IndyGunFreak, auto-detect says no new media detected | 02:36 |
| mynetdude | well I'm bummed that I can't access window shares via Picasa | 02:36 |
| mynetdude | cuz I know picasa can do it via windows via mapped drives | 02:36 |
| IndyGunFreak | shawnr34: you'll have to manually mount it in amarok. | 02:36 |
| Drk_Guy | Help, ubuntu won't recognize my dpad | 02:36 |
| mynetdude | how does ubuntu handle NAS? | 02:37 |
| flaccid_ | mynetdude: depends on the protocol the NAS supports | 02:37 |
| dmsuperman | mynetdude, NFS and SMB :D | 02:37 |
| mynetdude | mebe I should get one of those usb>ethernet adapters :P | 02:37 |
| WalloO | mynetdude, there is a difference between mouting shared disk and accessing shared disk from gnome (nautilus). If ytou mount the shared drive, it should work | 02:37 |
| mynetdude | NFS? | 02:37 |
| flaccid_ | mynetdude: check your doco of the NAS to see what protocols it can do | 02:38 |
| flaccid_ | it may not do NFS at all | 02:38 |
| flaccid_ | i am following https://help.ubuntu.com/community/CompositeManager/CompizFusion#head-3f62aec4d410bb7d9a17dc47f6b04f73638dc368 which shows how to svn the themes. where do the themes go and how can i use them, is there a stop missing? | 02:38 |
| mynetdude | WalloO yeah I know there's a difference between mounting shared disk vs accessing shared disk | 02:38 |
| dabaR | mynetdude: how have you been connecting to it so far? | 02:38 |
| mynetdude | I don't have a NAS, thats why I thought maybe pulling the HDD out of the USB enclosure putting it into an NAS enclosure instead | 02:39 |
| mynetdude | right now my HDD is attached via USB to the windows box and it is shared to the network | 02:39 |
| dabaR | mynetdude: a NAS enclosure? Like an external HD? | 02:39 |
| dabaR | mynetdude: never mind, I gotr it. | 02:39 |
| CtrlZftw | hey guys i am running hardy. need a little help, I have the Mesa 3D driver running, but for some reasone i can not get Direct Rendering to work, I think i just need to change it to the ATI driver, but i am having trouble getting that work. Can anyone help me out. | 02:39 |
| mynetdude | network attached storage, yeah you can buy diskless NAS | 02:39 |
| mynetdude | look, all I know is that linux doesn't use drive letters... I'm trying to make some sense of this | 02:40 |
| mynetdude | I can access the windows share from the ubuntu nautilus just fine | 02:40 |
| mynetdude | but picasa doesn't see it | 02:40 |
| Flannel | mynetdude: that's because its not actually in the filesystem | 02:41 |
| flaccid_ | stuff it i'll use feisty repos. the compiz fusion page really needs an update | 02:41 |
| mynetdude | whats not? | 02:41 |
| offline | ubuntu also won't recognize an externel (actually, a PC dvd drive connected via usb to laptop) optical drive on laptop | 02:41 |
| Flannel | mynetdude: Your share | 02:41 |
| Drk_Guy | Help, ubuntu wont grab my gamepad's dpad | 02:41 |
| WalloO | mynetdude, nautilus don't mount disk. Since picasa do not use gnome file system library, you can't that way. | 02:41 |
| Flannel | mynetdude: But as was previously said, if you put it in your fstab, it'll work fine | 02:41 |
| WalloO | Mount the remote share in a folder (command line not gnome), and it may work | 02:42 |
| mcquaid | mynetdude, yeah use fstab | 02:42 |
| mynetdude | WalloO ok so nautilus doesn't mount, then why is it mounted? (I can unmount it via right click) | 02:42 |
| mynetdude | whats fstab? | 02:42 |
| mynetdude | sorry I missed some of that | 02:42 |
| dabaR | mynetdude: is it mounted somewhere? maybe in /media | 02:42 |
| flaccid_ | !fstab | mynetdude | 02:42 |
| ubottu | mynetdude: The /etc/fstab file indicates how drive partitions are to be used or otherwise integrated into the file system. See http://www.tuxfiles.org/linuxhelp/fstab.html and !Partitions | 02:42 |
| colaser | Hi, I'm having sound problems on a Santa Rosa Macbook. The sound worked perfectly at one point, but something stopped it from working except with OSS; ALSA, ESD, etc. didn't work. Now I've upgraded to Hardy and I'm getting no sound at all. How do I fix this? | 02:42 |
| Flannel | mynetdude: It uses a separate mounting method, basically gnome mounts it for gnome. But anything that doesn't use gnome specific volume management wont see it. | 02:42 |
| WalloO | mynetdude, ok. It's mounted in which folder? | 02:43 |
| mynetdude | nautilus shows it mounted and it says E | 02:43 |
| WalloO | mynetdude, can you see it in /etc/mtab? | 02:43 |
| craigbass1976 | Someone set up a ubuntu box in text mode, but wants a GUI now. I installed kde for him, and we can fire it up with startx. How do I make Ubuntu do this automatically? | 02:43 |
| mcquaid | picasa is using wine, so it's not going to recognize gvfs or samba shares | 02:43 |
| CtrlZftw | colaser --> is this for wine? | 02:43 |
| dabaR | craigbass1976: perhaps you can install kdm. | 02:44 |
| Drk_Guy | Help, ubuntu wont grab my gamepad's dpad | 02:44 |
| mynetdude | yeah picasa uses winelib even though its not in wine | 02:44 |
| ads_ | hi i when i log into a gnome session i just get a black screen.. ive tried removing gnome and deleting ".gconf* .gnome* .metacity " but when i reinstall gnome i get the same issue what can i do to restore gnome successfully?? | 02:44 |
| dabaR | and then sudo dpkg-reconfigure kdm | 02:44 |
| craigbass1976 | dabaR, that's all that's missing? | 02:44 |
| colaser | No. I get no sound from anything. | 02:44 |
| flaccid_ | why do all my windows stay on top now, its annying... ? | 02:44 |
| mynetdude | alright hold on | 02:44 |
| WalloO | is it possible to make live overclock of a intel q6600 using linux-PHC? | 02:44 |
| dabaR | craigbass1976: that will start up the login screen on boot, afaik. | 02:45 |
| WalloO | mycroftiv, it uses wine lib because it's windows code, and they used winelib to port it quickly | 02:45 |
| craigbass1976 | dabaR, sounds good | 02:45 |
| mynetdude | don't have a /etc/mtab/ | 02:45 |
| WalloO | mynetdude, mount your share using the mount command, and it will work. | 02:45 |
| craigbass1976 | dabaR, does init 6 work? | 02:45 |
| dabaR | mynetdude: run sudo mount, that will tell you everything that is mounted, afaik. | 02:45 |
| dabaR | craigbass1976: no idea what that is. Sounds about right. | 02:46 |
| offline | wallo0: if i were u, i prefer to dual boot linux and windows... and use windows to OC (test stability) | 02:46 |
| craigbass1976 | dabaR, reboot | 02:46 |
| colaser | Hm. I just tried Wine, and I actually am getting sound from it. Haven't gotten anything else to give me sound, though. | 02:46 |
| Drk_Guy | Help, ubuntu wont grab my gamepad's dpad | 02:46 |
| slyf | hey, I am using "v4l2" and -tv to get my webcam working in mplayer, but the brightness refuses to set, so I get a dark dark image | 02:46 |
| slyf | should it set the brightness automatically? | 02:46 |
| mynetdude | dabaR ok one sec | 02:46 |
| dabaR | craigbass1976: you should install the kdm, dpkg-reconfigure it, and then it will just work next time you boot, ya. | 02:46 |
| craigbass1976 | dabaR, I'm not familiar with the run levels in Ubuntu. Used to RH and fedora | 02:46 |
| CtrlZftw | colaser that's wierd cause it's usually the other way around | 02:47 |

| dabaR | ads_: is there an error at all? | 02:47 |
| lat | Can tar make a complete bare metal backup? | 02:48 |
| ads_ | dabaR: no just a black screen when i log in | 02:48 |
| mizai | Leefmc: there is a package called unrar-free | 02:48 |
| dabaR | Leefmc: there is a rar package last time I checked too. | 02:48 |
| Leefmc | mizai: Yea i saw that, is it any good? | 02:48 |
| WalloO | Leefmc, unrar... it'S in synatptic sudo apt-get install unrar | 02:48 |
| mynetdude | dabaR I only see sda1, I know I should have sda2 and sda5 | 02:48 |
| Leefmc | dabaR: Pardon? I don't understand what you mean | 02:48 |
| colaser | Hm. That is odd. | 02:48 |
| Leefmc | WalloO: I know about that one, but is it .. usable? It says its not free | 02:48 |

| flaccid_ | how can i make compiz click to focus, all windows seem on top | 02:49 |
| dabaR | ads_: there is a --purge option to apt-get remove, that removes all config files. | 02:49 |
| mynetdude | dabaR: correction: all the filesystem drives | 02:49 |
| Leefmc | WalloO: ? | 02:49 |
| ALPSINC | hello again | 02:49 |
| WalloO | Leefmc, it's installer on my computer and it works... that's it. | 02:49 |
| ads_ | dabaR: ok ill try that thanks | 02:49 |
| WalloO | installed | 02:49 |
| dabaR | mynetdude: but not the one that is external, if I understand correctly, right? | 02:49 |
| mizai | Leefmc, "not free" doesn't mean "doesn't work" | 02:49 |
| ALPSINC | how does one edit the sudoers file with nano? | 02:50 |
| Flannel | ALPSINC: sudo visudo | 02:50 |
| colaser | Argh. I'm going to have to go. I'll try again later. | 02:50 |
| Leefmc | mizai: True, but it does mean limited. | 02:50 |
| Dasmoover | alpsinc: sudo nano | 02:50 |
| Leefmc | mizai: At the very least. | 02:50 |
| mynetdude | dabaR gprep? Should gprep see externally mounted drives? I did sudo mount, it doesn't see anything but sda1 | 02:50 |
| stroyan` | ads_: The trouble may be a user configuration file rather than a global config. You could use the useradd command from the text console to make a new user account then try logging in to that. | 02:50 |
| ALPSINC | Flannel: if i do that it opens with vim, which I hate... | 02:50 |
| ALPSINC | i need nano :P | 02:50 |
| dabaR | mynetdude: never heard of gprep | 02:50 |
| Flannel | ALPSINC: Its not like you'll be doing a whole lot of editing. But, visudo uses EDITOR I believe. | 02:51 |
| mynetdude | err gprep=gparted sorry | 02:51 |
| alberto_ | hey guys do someone know how to change my (second screen) TV position? something like the offset thanks... | 02:51 |
| ALPSINC | Flannel: ahh ok | 02:51 |
| WalloO | Leefmc, there is no shareware in ubuntu... That's it that's all | 02:51 |
| mynetdude | dabaR like I said sudo mount only shows sda1, but gparted shows sda1, 2, and 5 | 02:51 |
| mynetdude | dabaR there's other info, but nothing that looks like mounted network shares | 02:51 |
| Leefmc | WalloO: So if its not a limited version, what does "not free" mean in this case? | 02:51 |
| mizai | Leefmc, no source available | 02:52 |
| Leefmc | huh.. | 02:52 |
| mynetdude | not free meanse its not OSS | 02:52 |
| mynetdude | right? | 02:52 |
| Leefmc | odd way of saying closed source heh | 02:52 |
| CtrlZftw | anyone know how i can force hardy to use the ATI Driver, instead of the MESA 3D | 02:52 |
| Flannel | Leefmc: Or restricted distribution rights | 02:52 |
| mynetdude | Leefmc my thoughts exactly | 02:52 |
| Flannel | Leefmc: Its not necessarily closed source. | 02:52 |
| WalloO | Leefmc, where is written "non free" in unrar? | 02:52 |
| Leefmc | Flannel: That one would make sense | 02:52 |
| Leefmc | WalloO: Synaptic | 02:52 |
| bpgoldsb | I'm looking to setup a cronjob to email me of any outstanding package updates on my Ubuntu/Debian machines. Anyone know of a package that can do this? I'm figuring someone already wrote one. | 02:52 |
| mizai | Leefmc, actually I take that back, I just did apt-get source unrar | 02:52 |
| mizai | Leefmc, Flannel is probably right | 02:53 |
| mynetdude | dabaR so even if I can mount the share that doesn't mean picasa may even see it | 02:53 |
| dabaR | mynetdude: so, you just open that nautilus, and the network share is there? | 02:53 |
| mynetdude | dabaR thats right | 02:53 |
| stroyan` | ALPSINC, Flannel: "man visudo" spells it out. You need to set "env_editor" in the sudoers file to allow alternate editors from the EDITOR environment variable. | 02:53 |
| mynetdude | and then I double click the share I want and login, and then it appears on my desktop mounted | 02:53 |
| dabaR | mynetdude: and wth is picasa, is it in a browser, or an app in your computer | 02:53 |
| === Cynical_ is now known as Herissy | ||
| mynetdude | picasa is a photo gallery app | 02:53 |
| WalloO | Leefmc, it should be a non open source one maybe. However, install the free one if you prefer. | 02:54 |
| ALPSINC | stroyan`: ahh ok thanks! | 02:54 |
| Herissy | geesus. this server doesn't kill ghosts. | 02:54 |
| Leefmc | WalloO: I dont care, i was just trying to understand what part of it wasn't free heh | 02:54 |
| dabaR | mynetdude: the online version or the offline version? | 02:54 |
| mynetdude | Herissy no it doesn't, but the user can | 02:54 |
| mynetdude | dabaR offline | 02:54 |
| Herissy | it should. imho | 02:54 |
| mynetdude | dabaR, I have it for windows and it can access mapped drives | 02:54 |
| dabaR | mynetdude: and it can not see a mounted drive? | 02:55 |
| WalloO | Leefmc, I don't know. I think it's just not opensource | 02:55 |
| Herissy | some ping clients and when they get no response it kills the connection. | 02:55 |
| Dasmoover | can anyone help me out with my xsession? http://pastebin.org/45471 | 02:55 |
| dabaR | mynetdude: and you are using a version for Ubuntu now, right? | 02:55 |
| WalloO | mynetdude, it's normal you can't see it on your desktop. this is a virtual shortcut | 02:55 |
| WalloO | mynetdude, it exists only in gnome | 02:55 |
| shingalate1 | mynetdude, if it is a wine app run winecfg and assign a drive letter the the mount point | 02:56 |
| mynetdude | dabaR no picasa isn't seeing anything but the filesystem drives | 02:56 |
| mynetdude | actually linux doesn't use "drives" | 02:56 |
| jameslr | I think It's because unrar has its own license agreement. That's why it's non-free | 02:56 |
| Herissy | they are mount points. | 02:56 |
| mynetdude | Herissy right | 02:56 |
| stroyan` | ALPSINC: "man sudoers" has more details. You can set the "editor" variable in /etc/sudoers to a specific list of allowed editors. | 02:56 |
| mynetdude | well how do I make a mount point for a share then? :P | 02:56 |
| dabaR | mynetdude: and you can not find it anywhere in the filesystem, such as /media? | 02:56 |
| WalloO | mynetdude, mount the samba share in a folder using mount command, then go in it with picasa. It's as simple as it. | 02:57 |
| shingalate1 | well it uses mountpoints so you could assign the mountpoint to a drive letter in wine | 02:57 |
| dabaR | mynetdude: perhaps the properties of th shortcut on the desktop contain a clue | 02:57 |
| Flannel | mynetdude: mkdir (its just a directory) | 02:57 |
| ALPSINC | stroyan`: yes, I saw, thanks :) | 02:57 |
| mynetdude | WalloO alright that sounds like a good way to do it | 02:57 |
| offline | how can i change mcaddress on ubuntu ? coz the last time i changed it, i got no connectivity at all | 02:57 |
| jameslr | offline: first question: Why are you changing your mac address? | 02:58 |
| mynetdude | dabaR I looked at that, it doesn't so I went to the network places in ubuntu and got properties from that | 02:58 |
| WalloO | mynetdude, It's what I'm saying you since the beginning. You need to install smbfs to do that : sudo apt-get install smbfs | 02:58 |
| mynetdude | let me see if /media has anything | 02:58 |
| pen | offline: don't ask here, no one will give out the instructions, try google | 02:58 |
| WalloO | offline, it's bad to do that | 02:58 |
| dabaR | offline: a MAC address? | 02:58 |
| WalloO | offline, maybe you can using ifconfig or macchanger | 02:59 |
| shingalate1 | there are legitimate reasons to change a MAC address | 02:59 |
| Shaba1 | yepper | 02:59 |
| WalloO | ooops, I gave the solution... :( | 02:59 |
| Shaba1 | other then anonymity | 02:59 |
| dabaR | shingalate1: such as distributing child porn. | 02:59 |
| jameslr | changing your mac address doesn't give you anonymity... | 03:00 |
| Herissy | lol | 03:00 |
| offline | jameslr : ok.. first of all, i'm on a LAN. and so many bad ppl here who like to attack other machine. My PC default mcaddress now is like banned? so it never get connected to the internet on default. when i chaged it, i connected. im on laptop now | 03:00 |
| shingalate1 | dabaR:not quite what i was thinking | 03:00 |
| Shaba1 | a bit | 03:00 |
| WalloO | jameslr, hmmmm... if you connect through an open or crackedf wifi it may. | 03:00 |
| jameslr | True anonymity: live in the woods with no internet and no visitors :D | 03:01 |
| mynetdude | WalloO how do I access smbfs once its installed? Is it GUI? | 03:01 |
| offline | pen : ok thank you but instruction from google just cut me off from network | 03:01 |
| pen | jameslr: it lost the true goal to access internet | 03:01 |
| Shaba1 | lol jameslr | 03:01 |
| mynetdude | jameslr its possible... hard to do though | 03:01 |
| jameslr | offline: I believe WalloO gave you the answer you requested. I was just curious why. | 03:01 |
| offline | jamelr : lol :D | 03:02 |
| WalloO | mycroftiv, do you know how to use mount command? Do you want to mount it everytime you start your computer? | 03:02 |
| Kira | Is there a universal way to check the distro and version of my *nix/Linux machine from the shell? | 03:02 |
| mynetdude | WalloO no I don't, and it would be nice to have it mounted when I am connected to my network... as the laptop roams | 03:02 |
| mynetdude | would be interesting to have it mount outside of my network too | 03:02 |
| pen | Kira: uname -a? | 03:02 |
| jameslr | WalloO: if you're using NetworkManager it may not be as easy as the above mentioned solutions. | 03:02 |

| peteee | how i can change subtitles size for kaffeine? sorry,i dont speaking good english but finnish channel is empty. | 03:03 |
| * mynetdude hates CLI | 03:03 | |
| jameslr | WalloO: change your mac address. | 03:03 |
| Flannel | Kira: Or at least, that's supposed to be. I'm not sure if all distros honor the LSB | 03:03 |
| jameslr | I hate NetworkManager | 03:03 |
| WalloO | jameslr, very difficult, one command 20 characters... :) | 03:03 |
| mynetdude | brb gonna look in /media/ | 03:03 |
| Flannel | peteee: You might try #kubuntu, they'll be more familiar with Kaffeine | 03:03 |
| jameslr | udev is confusing to me still. I'm still used to old school device nodes | 03:04 |
| pen | jameslr: well ,it is working well on me | 03:04 |
| WalloO | jameslr, I did it several time just to play with my wifi | 03:04 |
| jameslr | cool then | 03:04 |
| peteee | sure..ok | 03:04 |

| offline | wallo0: is it better to overclock under windows ? coz so many overclocking program under windows | 03:06 |
| mynetdude | WalloO ok I'll wait for ur cmd line... but I like GUI | 03:06 |
| WalloO | mynetdude, first, create a folder for your mount point in /media: sudo mkdir /media/mymountpoint | 03:06 |
| RichardBLand | you don't overlcok in windows! | 03:06 |
| mynetdude | Shaba1 why are u defragging ext3? | 03:06 |
| noxix | When trying to use Totem Movie Player to watch a DVD i get a "could not read from source" error, however UBUNTU recognizes my dvdrom... Any ideas on how to fix this? | 03:06 |

| dabaR | noxix: has this computer ever played a DVD before? | 03:07 |
| offline | RichardBalnd : yup under BIOS, but stability test is better under windows.. coz we got prime95, orthos, etc :D | 03:07 |
| amps2volts | #ubuntuforums | 03:07 |
| WalloO | RichardBLand, you can overclock from Windows... However, here we are with ubuntu... so any info if it's possible with linuc-PHC? | 03:07 |
| noxix | dabaR: no, this is the first time i've tried in UBUNTU. It worked fine in windows. | 03:07 |
| dabaR | noxix: did you install what is needed to play DVDs? | 03:07 |
| mynetdude | WalloO ok mountpoint folder created | 03:08 |
| noxix | dabaR: i don't know. using the Add/Remove applications gui, all the codecs and stuff are installed. | 03:08 |
| dabaR | !dvd | noxix | 03:08 |
| ubottu | noxix: For playing DVD, see http://help.ubuntu.com/ubuntu/desktopguide/C/video.html - "libdvdcss2" can be found at !Medibuntu or (for Feisty and earlier) http://wiki.ubuntu.com/SeveasPackages - Try k9copy (available in !Universe) for backing up DVDs | 03:08 |
| dabaR | noxix: try that out if you hav not. | 03:08 |
| mynetdude | just too bad I can't do it via GUI | 03:09 |
| WalloO | mynetdude, in /etc/fstab, add a line like that: //server/yourshare /media/mymountpoint smbfs username=guest,password=guest 0 0 | 03:09 |
| mynetdude | but alas cli is faster | 03:09 |
| dabaR | mynetdude: once you get it to mount on boot, then you will be able to get through it through /media/... | 03:09 |
| WalloO | mynetdude, change server name, etc... to fit with your needs. This line is used to connect as anonymous | 03:10 |
| mynetdude | WalloO //server/<--- IP and then /share <--- how do I know the name of the share? | 03:10 |
| mynetdude | ah it can't connect anonymous | 03:10 |
| mynetdude | so I'd use my user/pass then | 03:10 |
| WalloO | mynetdude, it will be mounted at start and to mount it right now: sudo mount /media/mymountpoint | 03:11 |
| M4rotku | has any1 had any luck with using a Sansa m250 mp3 player with Ubuntu 8.04? | 03:11 |
| Shaba1 | I am not mynetdude. I am typing on a laptop right now that is dual boot windows xp and xubuntu. I am i the xubuntu side right now. I am defragging my window xp desktop | 03:11 |
| mynetdude | thats fine I'll just use the manual mounting command | 03:11 |
| Shaba1 | that is what has been running for almost two days now | 03:11 |
| WalloO | mynetdude, Ip ok, and share is the name of the forlder you see when you go on your remote computer with nautilus | 03:11 |
| mynetdude | so if the remote folder just sayd E that would be the share? I guess I would use IP for the server right? | 03:12 |
| mynetdude | seems like you can use smb://bigoffice/ as the server as well? | 03:12 |
| mynetdude | sudo mount /media/mymountpoint <--- mount what? don't you have to tell it what to mount? | 03:13 |
| WalloO | mynetdude, yes it is. Please, respect the case. | 03:13 |
| jameslr | mynetdude: there are default shares in windows. They require administrator access to use them though They're the drive letters followed by $. e.g. c$ for your C Drive in windows | 03:13 |

| Tapir | hi | 03:13 |
| ads_ | tryin to remove all traces of gnome so i may then reinstall gnome as currently its broken... i thought i had done this but it is still showing a session type at the login screen please help!!! | 03:13 |
| ads_ | trying* | 03:13 |
| WalloO | mynetdude, not if you added the line in fstab, as I said you | 03:13 |
| mynetdude | jameslr I'm aware of that, I see those too | 03:13 |
| Shaba1 | I know I cannot run the programs I just want to view some graphics and avi,mpg files on the linux side | 03:13 |
| rubix | when i mount a drive its mounting as read-only how do i change it to mount so i have permissions to all files on the drive | 03:14 |
| mynetdude | blah I need to add that line in fstab | 03:14 |
| WalloO | Shaba1, if you use ubuntu 8.04, just click on the hard drive in nautilus | 03:14 |
| Colonel | rubix: add -o rw option? | 03:15 |
| nickrud | ads_ https://help.ubuntu.com/community/PureKDE#head-783dc3d834b24ed82551b41055bddf6303287f53 | 03:15 |
| rubix | Colonel, its when i mount a drive with the places menu | 03:15 |
| Shaba1 | xubuntu WalloO | 03:15 |
| nickrud | be prepared to do this at a console | 03:15 |
| nickrud | ads_ ^^ | 03:15 |
| Shaba1 | It uses thundar | 03:15 |
| mynetdude | WalloO if I use the IP then if the IP changes I'll have to change the fstab... is there a better way to identify the server? such as by PC name? | 03:15 |
| WalloO | Jameslr: this default share in windows make me sic. This is really crazy, and totaly unsecure. that sucks | 03:15 |
| WalloO | Shaba1, mount it by hand | 03:16 |
| mynetdude | thats fine, whats the full command line to mount by hand? | 03:16 |
| rubix | how does the hal daemon mount other partitions/drive | 03:16 |
| Colonel | rubix: not sure then | 03:16 |
| WalloO | mynetdude, you can. It can work. | 03:16 |
| ads_ | nickrud: no packes needed to be removed | 03:16 |
| ads_ | packages* | 03:16 |
| mynetdude | alright so I just use the pc name instead of IP? | 03:16 |
| nickrud | ads_ did you copy and paste that complete thing into a console? | 03:16 |
| jameslr | WalloO: the default shares aren't that big of a deal to me. It's that by default when you first install Windows if you add a user it's automatically put into the Admin group | 03:17 |
| ads_ | nickrud: yes im gonna restart x to dbl check gnome is still showing brb | 03:17 |
| WalloO | mynetdude, you can try with ip first to test. then if itworks, try with the name. | 03:17 |
| nickrud | ads_ wait | 03:17 |
| jameslr | so you could have a user without a password in the Administrator's group...scary | 03:17 |
| jameslr | or administrator could have no password - and still authenticate!!! | 03:18 |

| ads_ | nickrud: its freeing up roughly 1.8GB soim sure its removing evrything ill let you know thanks | 03:26 |
| nickrud | nicholaspaul there's no single command, you would look in synaptic for your kernels ( clt-f linux-image) and mark them for complete removal. Keep at least two working ones | 03:26 |
| ads_ | nickrud: ah shit its removing kubuntu-desktop also | 03:27 |

| e-jat | HealthyElijah, else /usr/bin/firefox | 03:43 |
| nickrud | Mo0oSaH some have gone back to ff2, but it's more of a flash issue than browser issue from what I've heard | 03:43 |
| Ryouga_Hibiki | ah I see thanks | 03:43 |
| mynetdude | seems like ubuntu is buggy in its own way yet its so much better than windows | 03:43 |
| nickrud | everything is buggy. | 03:43 |
| mynetdude | except I can't use it as a windows replacement anytime soon | 03:43 |
| Mo0oSaH | nickrud: is flash compatible with ff2? | 03:43 |

| chubs_ | webjames: yep it does my mistake, i just always go through the terminal when i do that | 04:13 |
| webjames_ | GRUBFSCK, maybe your boot partition was on it | 04:13 |
| marcioapf | bastid_raZor i installed it but when i initialize it, ubuntu logs off | 04:13 |
| bastid_raZor | jarid; press alt f2 then run that command | 04:13 |

| webjames_ | GRUBFSCK, was the disk you removed first in the boot order, even if nothing was installed on it? | 04:14 |

| GRUBFSCK | (but i'm on the live cd, so "/" is only temporary) | 04:14 |
| jarid | alt f2 nothing | 04:14 |

| bastid_raZor | jarid; alt f2 will give you a run dialog box. you are not running emerald --replace in the terminal when using alt f2. | 04:16 |
| HealthyElijah | when i type firefox into the terminal, it opens the program but then never goes back to a new prompt and when i hit ctrl-c it closes firefox and doesn't give me a new prompt | 04:16 |

| bastid_raZor | jarid you're holding alt while pressing F2 the function key not f then 2 | 04:17 |
| webjames_ | HealthyElijah, that's because your running through the terminal | 04:17 |
| jarid | i know nothing | 04:17 |
| HealthyElijah | webjames_: isn't there something i can type after "firefox" to close the command? | 04:17 |
| name_name | hey how do I send windows to diff desktops, I can do that in Red Hat etc, but it's not in the Ubunut gui | 04:18 |

| jarid | got it | 04:18 |

| webjames_ | chubs_, should say move to desktop right/left | 04:19 |
| name_name | chubs_: there's no sent to workspace like there is in Red Hat etc. | 04:19 |
| jahnkeanater | how do i take the premisions off | 04:19 |
| name_name | chubs_: I've using GL Desktop | 04:19 |

| PPKuma | hi, i've mounter an iso file in a tmp folder, is there any way to configure wine so it finds the cd? | 04:19 |
| HealthyElijah | name_name: yeah it says "send window to workspace ___" | 04:20 |
| name_name | 4 desktops on the cube | 04:20 |
| jahnkeanater | inorder for it to work on the websight i hcant hive them protected | 04:20 |
| webjames_ | jahnkeanater, what permissions of what? | 04:20 |
| jahnkeanater | i get forbidin | 04:20 |
| chubs_ | webjames: name_name was the one with the problem, but if you're curious i have two on two separate x sessions each (two monitors) | 04:20 |
| HealthyElijah | name_name: actually "move to another workspace____" | 04:20 |
| jahnkeanater | the files have a ornge x over them | 04:20 |
| jahnkeanater | and owner is root | 04:20 |
| jahnkeanater | how do i change that | 04:21 |
| webjames_ | chubs_, sorry, but thanks for the info :) | 04:21 |

| jahnkeanater | they are procted now | 04:21 |
| jahnkeanater | how do i take ownership | 04:22 |
| jahnkeanater | of a file | 04:22 |
| webjames_ | jahnkeanater, pressing Alt+F2 then typing "gksudo nautilus" will bring up a file manager window with the permissions to do whatever, but be careful you don't delete something you need | 04:22 |

| name_name | so why does GL Desktop disable the send to workspace stuff | 04:23 |
| name_name | that's sorta mean | 04:23 |

| iota | Because ubuntu treats my IDE hd as a SCSI drive ( it is the primary drive on the first IDE channel and shows up as /dev/sda)m I can not use my existing windows partition as a guest in vmware.

| Flannel | StephenZ: right, those two columns are owner and group | 05:00 |
| torias | if so whats the best program | 05:00 |
| Flannel | StephenZ: So, all of those files have you as the owner, and the group/ | 05:00 |
| HealthyElijah | envy sure is nice for installing nvidia drivers! So easy a caveman could do it!!! | 05:00 |

| Jack_Sparrow | HealthyElijah If you got envy off the web you could have comprimised your system | 05:01 |
| Flannel | name_name: Does sudo work otherwise? | 05:01 |
| name_name | sda4 is a hdd partition I have | 05:01 |
| Jack_Sparrow | !envy | 05:01 |
| 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. | 05:01 |
| Flannel | StephenZ: Needless to say, they shouldn't. And, while we could fix these, you've probably done plenty of other damage too. | 05:01 |
| name_name | yeah fine | 05:01 |
| Flannel | name_name: Its not a sudo issue | 05:01 |
| StephenZ | Flannel: I don't doubt it. Would reinstalling Ubuntu do anything good for me? | 05:01 |
| name_name | Flannel: ok.. um any idea what it is | 05:02 |
| Flannel | StephenZ: they should be owned by root:root (that is, user:group) or at least, most of them should. | 05:02 |
| StephenZ | Wipe this drive, reinstall... | 05:02 |
| Makro1 | any expert on macros for oo impress? | 05:02 |

| StephenZ | *Crestfallen.* Right. | 05:02 |
| Flannel | StephenZ: and don't worry, we all reinstalled a number of times at the beginning. I think I did seven or eight times. | 05:02 |

| Oddish | Constatly breaking and repairing your system is how you learn to get around in Linux. | 05:04 |
| Flannel | name_name: He's hosed his permissions on /usr/bin, and no telling what else. Unless *you* want to ennumerate permissions on each file on his system, reinstall is the best method | 05:04 |
| === thejaja is now known as newbie | ||
| name_name | oh shi--- | 05:04 |
| name_name | StephenZ: reinstall! | 05:04 |
| StephenZ | At least it's fairly unlikely that I've hosed my other two drives. | 05:04 |
| twobitsprite | in fact... I'm running kubuntu, but firefox wants all kinds of gnome stuff... what's up with that? | 05:04 |

| Oddish | ...Okay, yeah, in that case just reinstall. >_> | 05:05 |
| Rayvis | What program should I use to burn an avi file to a dvd? I couldn't get nero linux to work. | 05:05 |
| Flannel | StephenZ: that's correct. And, when you reinstall, let us help with the mounting ;) | 05:05 |
| iota | is it only /usr/bin ? | 05:05 |
| StephenZ | I'll do exactly that. *Looks over at the broken disk on his desk.* After burning another CD. | 05:05 |

| ubottu | Git is a distributed revision control/software code management project created by Linus Torvalds. For more information, see http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Git_(software) | 05:06 |
| Flannel | StephenZ: No breaking disks either. LiveCDs come in handy in many situations | 05:06 |
| StephenZ | Here goes another two hours of downloading... | 05:06 |
| Oddish | StephenZ: First week on Linux? | 05:06 |
| StephenZ | That part was an accident. | 05:06 |
| StephenZ | Yeah, first 36 hours. | 05:06 |
| Oddish | It gets easier as you learn more. | 05:06 |
| Oddish | Just keep that in mind. | 05:07 |

| Flannel | StephenZ: but once you limber up, you'll do fine. | 05:07 |

| Ryouga_Hibiki | wow I didn't think the install would do that on its own..thats kinda neat...so after I get it installed how do I switch between both OS's? | 05:29 |

| nickrud | daurnimator it uses nano by default in ubuntu | 05:51 |
| Six_ | g | 05:51 |
| daurnimator | what a confusing name | 05:51 |
| daurnimator | and..... how was I meant to know this | 05:51 |
| nickrud | daurnimator no reason that you should have, really | 05:52 |
| Flannel | daurnimator: Because the sudoers file says it at the top | 05:52 |
| air139 | ganymede: no item found called .evolution | 05:52 |
| daurnimator | easiest way to fix it? | 05:52 |
| nickrud | daurnimator reboot into recovery mode, run visudo | 05:52 |
| Flannel | daurnimator: reboot, recovery console, fix | 05:52 |
| daurnimator | recovery console? | 05:52 |
| Flannel | daurnimator: At GRUB, choose 'recovery console' | 05:52 |
| daurnimator | hmmm | 05:53 |
| daurnimator | ok | 05:53 |
| ganymede | air139: oh, i don't know, i was just giving the step-by-step instructions to Oddish's directions that you asked for | 05:53 |
| nickrud | daurnimator hit escape if you don't see a menu, while it says grub loading | 05:53 |
| daurnimator | and, at the recovery console | 05:53 |
| daurnimator | what do I do | 05:53 |
| nickrud | daurnimator you're root there | 05:53 |
| Flannel | daurnimator: You edit sudoers, and put it back | 05:53 |
| air139 | ganymede: "There was an error while trying to get the addressbook information Evolution Data Server can't handle the protocol" | 05:54 |
| === pgx is now known as pgx_ | ||
| * daurnimator curses the lack of security exploits | 05:54 | |
| daurnimator | why don't we set a root password? would be much easier to fix if I had one | 05:55 |
| === pgx_ is now known as pgx | ||
| Flannel | daurnimator: Its much easier to just not break it in the first place. Again, there was a warning at the top of your sudoers file | 05:55 |
| daurnimator | since when does anyone read warnings | 05:55 |
| * nickrud thinks daurnimator is so right, sadly | 05:56 | |
| * daurnimator waves goodbye to uptime | 05:57 | |
| SitUbuntuSit | I read a warning once... got hit in the head by a baseball while doing it. | 05:57 |
| nickrud | SitUbuntuSit probably a good thing you read that poison warning anyway :) | 05:58 |
| Flannel | daurnimator: Lots of uptime just means you haven't applied recent kernel patches | 05:58 |
| air139 | can anyone tell me how to fix this? "There was an error while trying to get the addressbook information Evolution Data Server can't handle the protocol" | 05:58 |
| SitUbuntuSit | nickrud, LOL, right about that ;) | 05:58 |
| bdrydyk | Hi, could someone tell me how to use apt to find out what files a package installed? | 05:58 |
| Jburrke | Can anyone tell me why my music is so screwed up all of a sudden? When I try to open a file in amarok or rhythmbox it just keeps skipping to the next one, and rhythmbox shows a little red circle with a minus in it.. Wtf is going on D: | 05:58 |
| nickrud | air139 you might want to take that to an evolution channel on irc.gnome.org | 05:58 |
| n-iCe | jbroome codecs problems, I guess, restart amarako | 05:59 |
| Flannel | bdrydyk: dpkg -L package | 05:59 |
| kcormier1 | howdy all. I was messing with 8.04 and clicked autoformat by accident and lost all my old partitions. I didn't let the install continue. I had a data partition at the end of the drive (xfs). Is there any chance of recovering it? | 05:59 |
| co-PiloT | . | 05:59 |
| n-iCe | amarok, install codecs, and try again | 05:59 |
| bdrydyk | thanks Flannel, I didn know where to look. | 05:59 |
| nickrud | air139 not to run you off, but that sounds like a bug someone there could be interested in | 05:59 |
| Flannel | bdrydyk: and the other way (file ot package) is dpkg -S /path/to/file | 05:59 |
| bdrydyk | great, thanks a lot. | 05:59 |
| Jburrke | Everyone, I've played all this music on here hundreds of times before.. I just came back to my pc after a couple of days today and I'm getting all these errors | 06:00 |

| air139 | never mind folks, I figured it out, my disc came with an incomplete gnome | 06:00 |
| kcormier1 | amstella: yes it did, with ext3 (old partitions were xfs) | 06:01 |
| Jburrke | bdrydyk: Dont think that's possible, I mean the music is saved on my main drive | 06:01 |
| bdrydyk | I see. | 06:01 |
| bdrydyk | Jburrke, Ie dealt with a similar problem before which was related to asla. Just wondering, have you tried restarting? | 06:02 |
| bullgard4 | Inazad: There are so many different types of power supplies. For each one there is another the best. First you will need to define what power supply type you mean. Secondly define what is 'best'? | 06:02 |
| Jburrke | bdrydyk: Stupidly, no =S | 06:02 |

| dtrixed | bazhang thanks | 06:28 |
| mynetdude | ALPSINC never heard of it, but I've seen X11vnc though... btw don't you know that ubuntu already comes with a remote desktop server and viewer? | 06:28 |
| Jburrke | nickrud: Pretty much.. So doing this will allow me to boot windows normally and wipe linux from my external with no problem? | 06:28 |
| ALPSINC | mynetdude: i'm using xbuntu... for a server enviroment | 06:28 |
| dtrixed | god i love the ability of being able to just apt-get somthing... | 06:28 |
| nickrud | Jburrke yes. The key is getting your main hard drive back to booting windows, and supergrubdisk will do that | 06:28 |
| dtrixed | no waiting or hunting down a site for it | 06:28 |
| ganymede | ryan_: it's a known issuse and cannot be fixed easily. might be fixed one year from now via DRI2 | 06:28 |
| ryan_ | ok thanks | 06:28 |
| Jburrke | nickrud: Cool, so once I wipe my external will windows recognize the disk when I plug it in? | 06:29 |
| ganymede | ryan_: both compiz and the opengl app are rendering to the same part of the screen so they're fighting between who gets to be seen | 06:29 |
| ryan_ | how do you put the persons name youre talking to or do you type it | 06:30 |
| BHSPitLappy | Sometimes after being idle, my wireless and sudo both stop working, and I am forced to C-A-D from one of my tty's | 06:30 |
| BHSPitLappy | What's causing this, and is there any more graceful way to recover? | 06:30 |
| AussieBobby | Problem:I have some folders that have a lock icon above them and I'm unable to delete them.These are on a usb HD and they are microsoft that apps that I no longer need | 06:30 |
| nickrud | Jburrke you would need to reformat it as ntfs but then windows would recognize it. For help in returning it to ntfs, you'd want to go to #windows | 06:30 |
| BHSPitLappy | ryan_, start typing it and hit TAB | 06:30 |
| dpn` | AussieBobby: sudo rm instead of rm | 06:30 |
| ryan_ | BHSPitLappy, thank you | 06:30 |
| ryan_ | much brtter | 06:30 |
| ryan_ | better | 06:31 |
| kmicinski | ahh, I seem to have found my problem. To prove my non n00bness a converstaion is here: | 06:31 |
| Jburrke | nickrud: Is that something that I'd have to do in linux? I mean if windows isn't recognizing the drive would that be something that I could do when I dont have access to linux any more? | 06:31 |
| unavailable | mynetdude me thinks he means xp corporate ed (the one without activation) | 06:31 |
| kmicinski | http://ubuntuforums.org/archive/index.php/t-765379.html | 06:31 |
| unavailable | nickrud jburrke its actually ##windows | 06:31 |
| ryan_ | i've never used irc before because i always confused it with the crummy icq | 06:31 |
| nickrud | Jburrke the reason windows doesn't recognize it is it's an ext3 file type, and windows can't read that without a plugin. Simply reformat it in windows | 06:32 |
| Jburrke | Thanks unavailable | 06:32 |
| ALPSINC | unavailable: http://www.realvnc.com/products/download.html << i had a cd that my friend let me have >.< | 06:32 |
| Jburrke | nickrud, So when I do this super grub disk I'll still be able to reformat the drive from windows, right? | 06:32 |
| unavailable | nickrud jburrke but #windows auto redirects you so it was useless for me to tell you | 06:32 |
| Jburrke | unavailable :P | 06:32 |
| xTOGx | i'm running xubuntu, i'm a new linux user, how do i get my sound to work? i'm assuming i have to turn it on or get a driver or something? | 06:33 |
| kmicinski | nonix4: but it seemed to be quite a confusing backport hack | 06:33 |
| nickrud | unavailable I knew that ;p | 06:33 |
| unavailable | rofl | 06:33 |
| ryan_ | xTOGx, i dont know, my sound just worked | 06:33 |
| xTOGx | hm | 06:33 |
| ryan_ | try the ubuntu forums | 06:33 |
| nickrud | Jburrke yes. You will have windows running as if you had never installed linux | 06:33 |
| BHSPitLappy | xTOGx, in most cases, you shouldn't have to perform any setup to get sound working | 06:33 |
| * unavailable thinks you were just too lazy to type that other # :P | 06:33 | |
| xTOGx | kay, thanks | 06:34 |
| Frogzoo | xTOGx: usually it works out of the box - what's your sound card? | 06:34 |
| xTOGx | onboard sound | 06:34 |
| ryan_ | xTOGx, do you have a volume icon by the clock? | 06:34 |
| Jburrke | nickrud: Yeah I got that, what I mean is will I be able to do whatever I need to do with the drive from windows since it isn't being recognized at the moment.. I mean am I gonna be able to reformat it to ntfs or w/e if it's not even being recognized because it's e3 or w/e? | 06:34 |
| calc | does anyone know the name of the command line tool to convert text files between the various eol types? | 06:34 |
| xTOGx | ryan_ no i don't | 06:34 |
| calc | i forgot what it is called and need to convert a mac text file to linux | 06:35 |
| unavailable | jburrke it should see a disk and ask for you to fdisk it. | 06:35 |
| unavailable | *should* | 06:35 |
| Jburrke | should? | 06:35 |
| unavailable | *should* | 06:35 |
| nickrud | Jburrke you were trying to read it. You are going to reformat it, and the reformatting tool will be able to do that. But the guys in ##windows (note the _two_ #'s) will walk you through reformatting the external | 06:35 |
| Jburrke | That scares me.. I dont want a pointless 250 gig drive sitting around T___T | 06:35 |
| klenz87 | hey i am unable to get the extra graphics to work on hardy iv installed my correct video driver?? | 06:35 |

| Jburrke | Now to start with this super grub crap =S | 06:36 |
| nickrud | Jburrke I just got through doing that stuff to my external, so I promise it will be very simple ;) | 06:36 |
| Jburrke | I've got a feeling I'm gonna screw something up supremely | 06:36 |
| Jburrke | Lol | 06:36 |

I'm asking because I found that the way compiz is launching now, if I use the icon to do "reload-window-manager", things go hell and get ugly. | 07:03 |
| BHSPitLappy | aCCI, looks to be a concept for an ubuntu-mobile design | 07:04 |
| aCCI | mock-up? | 07:04 |

| Gemmie78 | (16:06:37) Gemmie78: I don't want to paste it here as it's 5 lines | 07:09 |
| BHSPitLappy | for future reference | 07:09 |
| Gemmie78 | Yeah a bit late now, I know | 07:10 |
| Gemmie78 | I did say I didn't want to paste it, but I really need to fix the problem within the next 2 hours :P | 07:10 |
| BHSPitLappy | there's also pastebin.com, and many more that google will help you to find | 07:10 |
| saint-takeshi | next thing we know, you'll be able to get friendly, helpful advice in #slackware | 07:10 |
| node357 | microwaver, xfire fonts don't display properly with wine.... don't know of any way to fix it | 07:10 |
| redwyrm | is it possible that this channel has too many users and ought to be split up into different areas of support? | 07:10 |
| BHSPitLappy | saint-takeshi, try #gentoo | 07:10 |
| Flannel | Gemmie78: No no, pastebin your sources.list, /etc/apt/souces.list | 07:10 |
| Gemmie78 | Okay thanks for paste bin then | 07:10 |
| BHSPitLappy | or ask for ubuntu advice in #debian | 07:10 |
| Flannel | redwyrm: If you'd like to discuss it,we can talk about it in #ubuntu-offtopic | 07:11 |
| redwyrm | BHSPitLappy, the people in #debian hate that, you know :D | 07:11 |
| Gemmie78 | bash: /etc/apt/souces.list: No such file or directory | 07:11 |
| BHSPitLappy | redwyrm, oh? :P | 07:11 |
| microwaver | node357, I can't totally run it. it opens and then crashes, so its due to the fonts? | 07:11 |
| node357 | microwaver, people can msg you in Xfire but you can't read their names in the main window | 07:11 |
| Flannel | Gemmie78: sorry, sources.list | 07:11 |
| Gemmie78 | So what exactly should I do now, do I need to reinstall ubuntu for the 3rd time, I've already configured everything :( | 07:11 |
| node357 | microwaver, oh crashes. not sure there. should go to www.winehq.org and get wine 1.0 | 07:11 |
| prince | Anyone familiar with soft raid array? | 07:11 |
| Gemmie78 | I type that in terminal? | 07:11 |
| prince | I need to see and and mount my raid array | 07:12 |
| mynetdude | I was going to ask about xfire too... since there isn't one for linux | 07:12 |
| prince | but not sure how to do it | 07:12 |
| Gemmie78 | Anyone? | 07:13 |
| Flannel | node357, microwaver, wine 1 will be in hardy-updates soon if there aren't any problems | 07:13 |
| nickrud | Gemmie78 gedit /etc/apt/sources.list , and put the contents on the pastebin | 07:13 |
| microwaver | node357, is the newest wine in the repositories of hardy? | 07:13 |
| node357 | Flannel, sweet. that's great news | 07:13 |
| prince | how do I add my raid array to my fstab? | 07:13 |
| node357 | microwaver, read Flannel;s comment | 07:13 |
| node357 | I have xfire somewhat working with wine 1.0 from winehq site, but can't read text in the main window | 07:14 |
| microwaver | node357, Flannel so they will be soon :p :-) | 07:14 |
| mynetdude | Flannel is wine 1.0 the next newest version? | 07:14 |
| node357 | microwaver yep :) | 07:14 |
| microwaver | node357, i'll just use a vm then :p | 07:14 |
| Gemmie78 | I just retyped a few things, and resintalled the software | 07:14 |
| Gemmie78 | Finally hit tab, all is good | 07:14 |
| === pool is now known as Guest36446 | ||
| === prince is now known as Howdy | ||
| mynetdude | thats the problem... why? I just don't understand VMing a an OS just for one app | 07:15 |
| Gemmie78 | Thank you so much, I feel like a dick not so much for being hostile but for not using the paste bin | 07:15 |
| |||seb||| | help! my sources.list has main, universe and multiverse but I'm STILL missing some apps like gxine | 07:15 |
| Gemmie78 | I didn't want to flood, but since I hardly paste a lot or required help, never used it | 07:15 |
| Gemmie78 | Thanks to all those involved, now updating. | 07:15 |
| Howdy | looking for help in adding my raid array to my fstab | 07:15 |
| Howdy | ? | 07:15 |
| nickrud | Gemmie78 it takes some time to get used to the idea of being nice on irc to get help, rather than the reverse ;) | 07:15 |
| Gemmie78 | Believe it or not, I generally am | 07:16 |
| Gemmie78 | It's just I'm in a rush, if I was rude to you, my apoligies | 07:16 |
| Gemmie78 | :) | 07:16 |
| nickrud | Gemmie78 no offense taken | 07:16 |
| Gemmie78 | Time to check out kubuntu | 07:17 |
| mynetdude | heh, being nice is just an incentive for wanting to give help... I'd rather not be mean either | 07:18 |
| mynetdude | too bad the google desktop doesn't have a deskbar in ubuntu like windows does | 07:18 |
| |||seb||| | why gxine shows up in one machine's "aptitude search xine" but no in other's? | 07:19 |

| mynetdude | ntolo open terminal and type ifconfig | 07:19 |
| orphean | |||seb|||: did you modify your repos to include universe and multiverse? did you run sudo apt-get update after that? | 07:19 |

| Gemmie78 | Wouldn't it be funny if I could run a server on the computer I use ubuntu on, while surfing the net and on pidgin | 07:20 |
| Gemmie78 | Is this possible? | 07:20 |

| laurentiu | what is open driver? | 07:27 |
| Flannel | laurentiu: Its an open source driver, not ATIs, but written by 'regular' people. | 07:28 |
| saint-takeshi | laurentiu: you don't need the proprietary driver, you'll get better results using the open source "ati" one | 07:28 |
| laurentiu | at this link ? | 07:28 |
| laurentiu | :| | 07:28 |
| saint-takeshi | laurentiu: alt+F2, then type gksu gedit /etc/xorg.conf | 07:29 |
| Flannel | laurentiu: You don't need the official ATI driver. You're already good to go. | 07:29 |
| saint-takeshi | oh yeah | 07:29 |

| nubuntu | god, i don't know whats happening to my computer. now i have no more panels as of today when i turnd it on... i figured out how to go in thru the filesystem to usr/bin to find programs, but what a pain. all this started when i tried to upgrade my video card driver for an installation of google earth. anyone else having such a prob? | 07:43 |
| nubuntu | my screen resolution is all goofy too, i don't really know what it is rendering at, but it ain't very high i can say. | 07:43 |
| mrselfpwn | anyone? | 07:43 |
| mrselfpwn | what is the default permissions for /dev/input/event* ? | 07:43 |
| wols_ | nubuntu: what videocard do you have exactly? | 07:44 |
| prince | hmm | 07:44 |
| nubuntu | wols_: tnt2 i believe | 07:44 |
| cabrioleur | mrselfpwn, crw-rw---- | 07:44 |
| wols_ | nubuntu: don't "believe", it's not an article of faith. CHECK instead | 07:44 |
| Starnestommy | mrselfpwn: I think it's 550 or 660 | 07:44 |
| * prince is Looking for help mounting his software raid array | 07:45 | |
| Starnestommy | mrselfpwn: it's 660 | 07:45 |
| nubuntu | wols_: i checked, the system detects tnt2, i say i bilieve, cause i wasn't sure if it was accurate | 07:45 |
| wols_ | nubuntu: pastebin your lspci output | 07:46 |
| nubuntu | i just type lspci into term? | 07:46 |
| saint-takeshi | nubuntu: yep. | 07:46 |
| mynetdude | hey I noticed there is a newer version of compiz, ubuntu ships with 0.7.4, the newest one is 0.7.6 how can I update it? | 07:46 |
| nubuntu | what will the terminal be called in the filesystem, i don't have any menu? | 07:47 |
| wols_ | mynetdude: you wait for a new ubuntu version | 07:47 |
| orphean | mynetdude: it's best to just wait til its in the repos. | 07:47 |
| === alex_ is now known as aleksadr | ||
| mynetdude | oh... yeah I was gonna say there isn't a 3rd party repos for the ubuntu version | 07:47 |
| wols_ | nubuntu: if you have a cli you already have a terminal... | 07:47 |
| saint-takeshi | mynetdude: if it's not in the repos, then either compile from source (usually painless) or wait. | 07:47 |
| wols_ | saint-takeshi: it's NOT painless for someone who doesn't know. if it's not yet it will be when he upgrades | 07:48 |
| mynetdude | saint-takeshi compilation doesn't sound like a bad idea... except for the fact that I'm not sure I'd have to remove the old version or not? | 07:48 |
| mynetdude | yeah its easier to manage repos than compiling anyway... compiling doesn't sound easy | 07:48 |
| orphean | mynetdude: if you aren't experienced with things breaking I would really recommend not compiling. | 07:49 |
| saint-takeshi | mynetdude: yeah, probably best to just leave it, then... | 07:49 |
| mynetdude | so how long will it be before it gets put into the ubuntu repos? | 07:49 |
| nubuntu | wols_: any idea where i find the terminal in the filesystem? its not listed as terminal in usr/bin ... ? | 07:49 |
| blackfriar | XTERM | 07:50 |
| blackfriar | xterm | 07:50 |
| Starnestommy | nubuntu: I think it might be /usr/bin/gnome-terminal | 07:50 |
| wols_ | nubuntu: you said you are starting the programs via terminal. so you already have one | 07:50 |
| mynetdude | err I'm not at my ubuntu machine, but he could just go to accessories>terminal | 07:50 |
| MoreOvaltine | hey guys, i recently insalled hardy heron, with xfce, and it stil is running slow. | 07:50 |
| MoreOvaltine | Any Ideas? | 07:50 |
| Bogaurd | I have a headless machine which seems to run fine, then after 20 days or so it'll seemingly randomly hang, doesnt seem to be anything in the logs. Any ideas on what could be causing it? | 07:50 |
| wols_ | MoreOvaltine: my idea is it's a useless error description | 07:50 |
| mynetdude | hardy heron WITH xfce? interesting... | 07:51 |
| saint-takeshi | mynetdude: he doesn't have a panel. that's the whole problem. | 07:51 |
| mynetdude | saint-takeshi ah | 07:51 |
| saint-takeshi | nubuntu: alt+F2, then type xterm in the little box an voila! you have a terminal. | 07:51 |
| MoreOvaltine | Im guessing all the visual effects won't work on Ye Olde computer | 07:51 |
| StephenZ | Sheesh. And now the torrent is hard to find. | 07:52 |
| nubuntu | wols_: no, i said i was launching by clicking on the filesystem icon on the desktop | 07:52 |
| mynetdude | MoreOvaltine well I suppose if you had the Kubuntu with xfce it would run pretty fast from what I understand | 07:52 |
| StephenZ | What's the difference between KDE and GNOME? | 07:52 |
| StephenZ | To a layman like myself. | 07:52 |
| mynetdude | nubuntu how do you even get to the filesystem if you have no panels? | 07:52 |
| wols_ | the name | 07:52 |
| saint-takeshi | wols_: i'm not sure he IS starting things through the terminal...i thought he said he was using the file browser to go to /usr/bin | 07:52 |
| Starnestommy | StephenZ: KDE is more like Windows in its design | 07:52 |
| mynetdude | saint-takeshi yeah he just did say that | 07:53 |
| orphean | StephenZ: They do essentially the same thing. KDE is a bit more configurable, and GNOME strives to be more user friendly. | 07:53 |
| Dr-Pepsi_ | I need Help! | 07:53 |
| blackfriar | correction KDE is more like windows in its look | 07:53 |
| MoreOvaltine | Lol | 07:53 |
| mynetdude | so KDE looks more like windows, more configurable which !=user friendly... hmm | 07:54 |
| MoreOvaltine | Should i downgrade to Dapper or Feisty, because I don't know how to make this thing go any faster. | 07:54 |
| saint-takeshi | StephenZ: gnome feels like a cross between MacOS and the old Amiga Workbench...KDE feels like Windows 2000 | 07:54 |
| mynetdude | wonder how friendly REactos is :P | 07:54 |
| Dr-Pepsi_ | How do I share my printer that is using Ubuntu with a Windows Computer over a Network? | 07:54 |
| nubuntu | mynetdude: i have an icon for the filesystem on the desktop, i think it's always there on xubuntu | 07:54 |
| mynetdude | MoreOvaltine you might like kubuntu if you want the xfce | 07:54 |
| Starnestommy | Dr-Pepsi_: I think samba can share printers | 07:54 |
| Ace2016_ | kde is easier to use and has more options to configure it, gnome drives me mad every time i go in it, i miss all the options | 07:54 |
| StephenZ | For someone like myself, with no experience with any Linux system, but extensive experience on Windows and who can probably pick up on how things work relatively well... Which would one suggest? | 07:55 |
| MoreOvaltine | I installed xfce already, it just didn't make a difference in peformance. | 07:55 |
| magnetron | Dr-Pepsi_: first, make the printer work locally. then yo install samba | 07:55 |
| Dr-Pepsi | ok | 07:55 |
| nubuntu | saint-takeshi: thank you, have terminal now. | 07:55 |
| wols_ | StephenZ: either one. doesn't matter | 07:55 |
| Dr-Pepsi | my Computer is a fuckbag and won't let me go to windows xD | 07:55 |
| blackfriar | install them all kubuntu xubuntu ubuntu, then choose which session to loginto | 07:55 |
| orphean | StephenZ: Whichever one appeals to you more. Seriously. | 07:55 |
| StephenZ | Well, I don't have any experience with any of 'em. | 07:56 |
| Dr-Pepsi | Where do I fund Samba? | 07:56 |
| mynetdude | wait... you can install more than one linux without partitioning? | 07:56 |
| blackfriar | you will after you use them | 07:56 |
| magnetron | Dr-Pepsi: in synaptic package manager | 07:56 |
| Dr-Pepsi | ok | 07:56 |
| magnetron | !samba | Dr-Pepsi | 07:56 |
| ubottu | Dr-Pepsi: Samba is the way to cooperate with Windows environments. Links with more info: https://wiki.ubuntu.com/MountWindowsSharesPermanently and http://help.ubuntu.com/ubuntu/serverguide/C/windows-networking.html - Samba can be administered via the web with SWAT. | 07:56 |
| StephenZ | That goes without saying, Blackfriar. But I don't have three weeks to spend downloading and fiddling with all of them. | 07:56 |
| blackfriar | they are dwindows managers, the underlying operating system is the same | 07:56 |
| StephenZ | Well, if you were pressured into suggesting one, which would it be? | 07:57 |
| Sa[i]nT | I have this UIF file here. How in the hell do I make it an ISO in ubuntu? | 07:57 |
| Dr-Pepsi | magetron: Ok | 07:57 |
| ioioio | Hi everybody, I have a BIG problem trying to install Ubuntu. When I load Gparted, it doesn't show any partition I have....although they appear in terminal if I write "fdisk -l". What should I do? | 07:57 |
| mynetdude | blackfriar I thought ubuntu was an OS itself? | 07:57 |
| orphean | StephenZ: It doesn't really matter you can run KDE apps in gnome, gnome apps in KDE, etc. Since you're in #ubuntu I'm assuming you're using GNOME. If you want to try kde install kubuntu-desktop or kubuntu-kde4-desktop and switch your session to try it out. | 07:57 |
| blackfriar | ubuntu is a distributionm of linux | 07:57 |
| blackfriar | based on debian | 07:57 |

| mynetdude | err wrong person | 07:58 |
| mynetdude | but I think he'll get it | 07:58 |
| saint-takeshi | StevenZ: gnome takes about a week to get comfortable, for a linux virgin coming straight from windows. kde's probably about the same | 07:58 |
| mynetdude | !spam | 07:58 |
| mynetdude | blah forget it | 07:58 |
| Sa[i]nT | I have this UIF file here. How do I make it an ISO in ubuntu? | 07:58 |
| ioioio | Hey.. | 07:58 |
| ioioio | What do I have to do? | 07:58 |
| StephenZ | Orphean: Well, I have to do a complete OS reinstall, as I managed (apparently) to hose the host and root bits. So... Well. Just trying to figure out which would likely be more easily worth my time. As you're telling me KDE is more configurable... I'm thinking about that one. | 07:59 |
| Dr-Pepsi | magnetron, ughhh It says it cant find it | 07:59 |
| nubuntu | wols_: i can't copy/paste from the xterm apparently, but the output says : vga compat controller: nvidia NV%M^$ (RIVA TNT2 Model 64/Model 64 Pro)(Rev 15) | 07:59 |
| mynetdude | just ask your question and wait patiently, someone who knows will come along ioioio | 07:59 |
| ioioio | I've already asked twice. | 07:59 |
| ioioio | I have a BIG problem trying to install Ubuntu. When I load Gparted, it doesn't show any partition I have....although they appear in terminal if I write "fdisk -l". What should I do? | 07:59 |
| orphean | StephenZ: There we go then. :) I direct you to #kubuntu when you get it up and running. | 07:59 |
| mynetdude | I know... you're still spamming but alas | 07:59 |
| magnetron | !synaptic | Dr-Pepsi | 07:59 |
| ubottu | Dr-Pepsi: synaptic is Ubuntu's Graphical Package Manager. For a good howto see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/SynapticHowto | 07:59 |
| Dr-Pepsi | i know | 07:59 |
| Dr-Pepsi | it says it can't download the file because it cant find it | 08:00 |
| mynetdude | so let me get this straight you can install kubuntu and all the others right in along with ubuntu? | 08:00 |
| mynetdude | does it have to be partitioned? | 08:00 |
| magnetron | Dr-Pepsi: does your printer work locally yet? | 08:00 |
| Dr-Pepsi | Magnetron: yes | 08:00 |
| aaron_ | hi | 08:00 |
| mynetdude | so for each ubuntu variation I have to partition? | 08:00 |
| ioioio | mynetdude: Can you please answer? | 08:00 |
| Dr-Pepsi | Hi aaron | 08:00 |
| orphean | mynetdude: no need to parition. just install the appropriate *desktop package (kubuntu-desktop, xbunut-desktop) | 08:00 |
| magnetron | Dr-Pepsi: then search for a package named "samba" in synaptic. it's THERE. | 08:00 |
| ioioio | Noone answer... | 08:01 |
| blackfriar | mynetdude: no | 08:01 |
| ioioio | And I've asked my question three times | 08:01 |
| orphean | mynetdude: then when you login you can choose which one to use from the menu (look for Session) | 08:01 |
| mynetdude | ioioio no I can't because I don't know, would you rather have an answer saying something like "go wash floors"? | 08:01 |
| magnetron | !patience | ioioio | 08:01 |
| aaron_ | how do you install .tar files on ubuntu? | 08:01 |
| ubottu | ioioio: The people here are volunteers, your attitude should reflect that. Answers are not always available. See http://wiki.ubuntu.com/IrcGuidelines | 08:01 |
| saint-takeshi | mynetdude: you can if you want, but that would be redundant. you can just install the KDE, XFCE or whatever other desktop environment you like on top of whichever you choose | 08:01 |
| Dr-Pepsi | magnetron: I know, it found it but i get an error! W: Failed to fetch http://us.archive.ubuntu.com/ubuntu/pool/main/s/samba/samba_3.0.28a-1ubuntu4.1_i386.deb | 08:01 |
| Dr-Pepsi | 404 Not Found [IP: 91.189.88.31 80] | 08:01 |
| mynetdude | oh I just want the desktop, not the whole distro | 08:01 |
| blackfriar | aaron: extract it first, you can't per se install a tar file | 08:02 |
| compubomb | i have ubuntu 8.04 LTS with gnome, does ubuntu 8.04 LTS have KDE4 ? | 08:02 |
| compubomb | i'm not in linux atm, i'm just curious. | 08:02 |
| mynetdude | can the desktops be installed via synaptics? | 08:02 |
| orphean | mynetdude: yep | 08:02 |
| mynetdude | really... I'm getting more intrigued by this... | 08:02 |
| ioioio | But it is so important! javascript:galleriaN("Europei","2008/06_Giugno/europei/23.&1"); | 08:02 |
| magnetron | Dr-Pepsi: oh, you are using the US mirror? that one is quite crappy. | 08:02 |
| ioioio | Sorry | 08:02 |
| nubuntu | wols_: that's NV5M64 | 08:02 |
| aaron_ | ok I did extract it...what do I do with it now? | 08:02 |
| * saint-takeshi considers putting kde on here, just to play with | 08:02 | |
| Sa[i]nT | compubomb, All you have to do is install KDE from synaptic. | 08:02 |
| blackfriar | ubuntu is GNOME kubuntu is KDE, add the other desktop and it is nearly the same | 08:02 |
| nubuntu | wols_: i can't copy/paste from the xterm apparently, but the output says : vga compat controller: nvidia NV%M^$ (RIVA TNT2 Model 64/Model 64 Pro)(Rev 15) | 08:02 |
| Dr-Pepsi | magnetron: lol? What do I do? | 08:02 |
| compubomb | cool. | 08:03 |
| ioioio | I have a BIG problem trying to install Ubuntu. When I load Gparted, it doesn't show any partition I have....although they appear in terminal if I write "fdisk -l". What should I do? | 08:03 |
| magnetron | Dr-Pepsi: try another mirror. | 08:03 |
| Dr-Pepsi | How? | 08:03 |
| mynetdude | ioioio I'll just say this.. not that I recommend you do it but IMO use the guided install | 08:03 |
| * mynetdude hates manual installs and fixing crap... | 08:03 | |
| ioioio | mynetdude: it doesn't show any partition! | 08:04 |
| magnetron | !repository | Dr-Pepsi | 08:04 |
| ubottu | Dr-Pepsi: The packages in Ubuntu are divided into several sections. More information at https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Repositories and http://www.ubuntu.com/ubuntu/components - See https://wiki.ubuntu.com/RecommendedSources for the recommended way to set up your repositories | 08:04 |
| * ioioio want to install manually | 08:04 | |
| wols_ | nubuntu: then you need nvidia legacy drivers | 08:04 |
| mynetdude | ioioio the guided install would create a partition and all that for you | 08:04 |
| blackfriar | magnetron: sudo apt-get install kubuntu-desktop | 08:04 |
| mynetdude | ioioio ah well then I don't know, sorry | 08:04 |
| magnetron | blackfriar: not me! | 08:04 |
| blackfriar | sorry | 08:04 |
| orphean | mynetdude: doesn't guided install wipe the whole disk? | 08:04 |
| orphean | mynetdude: might be careful with that advice. | 08:05 |
| mynetdude | blackfriar lol I've done that, its alright getting someone else's name in the tab complete doesn't help much :P | 08:05 |
| mynetdude | orphean yes, but not if you select the first option which is to set the partition size | 08:05 |
| Dr-Pepsi | magnetron: Now it downloading 42 random files...I switched to main server | 08:05 |
| mynetdude | orphean the 2nd option wipes the disk | 08:05 |
| mynetdude | so what are all the desktops I can get for ubuntu? | 08:05 |
| mynetdude | kubuntu, what else? | 08:06 |
| blackfriar | xubuntu blubuntu edubuntu | 08:06 |
| Dr-Pepsi | !commands | 08:06 |
| ubottu | The linux terminal or command-line interface is very powerful. Open a terminal via Applications -> Accessories -> Terminal (Gnome) or K-menu -> System -> Konsole (KDE). Guide: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/UsingTheTerminal | 08:06 |
| mynetdude | I hope all that doesn't take up much space | 08:06 |
| saint-takeshi | mynetdude: those are "flavors" of ubuntu | 08:06 |
| Dr-Pepsi | magnetron: I got it installed now what? | 08:07 |
| saint-takeshi | mynetdude: each using a different desktop environment by default | 08:07 |
| orphean | mynetdude: xubuntu, kubuntu-kde4-desktop, gobuntu, mythbuntu, i think there's a christian desktop in there as well | 08:07 |
| kevin_ | After installing Ubuntu and dual booting windows how would i go about giving my ubuntu partition more space | 08:07 |
| * prince is looking for help in adding his raid array to his fstab | 08:07 | |
| saint-takeshi | orphean: a christian desktop? | 08:07 |
| * prince asks how to do add his raid array to his fstab? | 08:07 | |
| orphean | kevin_: defrag your windows partition in windows then use gparted from the livecd to resize it smaller and and expand the ubuntu partition | 08:08 |
| orphean | saint-takeshi: i kid you not | 08:08 |
| kevin_ | ok, thanks | 08:08 |
| compubomb | what is the main package i have to install to get KDE4 ? | 08:08 |
| orphean | saint-takeshi: icthux-desktop :) | 08:08 |
| compubomb | is there like an alias package that installs everything ? | 08:08 |
| orphean | compubomb: kubuntu-kde4-desktop works well | 08:08 |
| blackfriar | add a refernece to /dev/mdn where n is the raid as you would for a regular partition | 08:09 |
| Bert_2 | Hi, I want to make my ubuntu system an LTSP server for PXE boot thin clients, can anyone help me with that or point me to the right documentation/channel ? | 08:09 |

| Dr-Pepsi | magnetron: OMFG! It found it! | 08:09 |
| magnetron | !ltsp | Bert_2 | 08:09 |
| ubottu | Bert_2: LTSP is the Linux Terminal Server Project, which adds thin-client support to Linux servers. See chapter 3 of the !edubuntuhandbook, http://www.ltsp.org and/or http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Linux_Terminal_Server_Project | 08:09 |

| Slart | aaron_: yes, adobe flash will with ubuntu =) | 08:13 |
| mynetdude | well I'm already getting the kubuntu-desktop | 08:13 |
| Sa[i]nT | Slart, I've searched and found useless crap. I should'nt have to use a program with wine or whatnot. | 08:13 |
| blackfriar | prince: you have no raids defined | 08:13 |
| aaron_ | Cool...I downloaded the .tar installer for it..how do I install it on ubuntu? | 08:14 |
| mynetdude | funny thing is I couldn't find kubuntu-desktop in synaptics, so I did it through terminal | 08:14 |
| elitemind | sorry sudo mount /dev/sdc1 psp shows the files i just cant move files from my computer to the psp. What might i be doing wrong? | 08:14 |
| orphean | mynetdude: it is in synaptics. i promise. | 08:14 |
| ioioio | I have a BIG problem trying to install Ubuntu. When I load Gparted, it doesn't show any partition I have....although they appear in terminal if I write "fdisk -l". What should I do? | 08:14 |
| Sa[i]nT | mynetdude, You just look for KDE man. | 08:14 |
| mynetdude | orphean, I'll look again in a bit... | 08:14 |
| blackfriar | elitemind: probably permissions, try it as root | 08:14 |
| mynetdude | haha yeah I will | 08:14 |
| Slart | Sa[i]nT: I shouldn't have to drive a small slow car to work.. but I have to =)... uif isn't one of the "common" image formats.. try this link and see what they are suggesting http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=482960 | 08:14 |
| mynetdude | this stuff is going to take a while to download | 08:14 |
| ioioio | Wow, thanks for your help! | 08:14 |

| Slart | aaron_: oh.. don't do that.. doesn't firefox offer to install flash automatically if you go to a site with a flash movie on? | 08:15 |
| Bert_2 | I have checked out the edubuntu handbook, and it tells me a lot about LTSP except which packages I need to use it, so which ones would I need if clients use PXE ? | 08:15 |
| elitemind | k brb ill try that | 08:15 |
| aaron_ | I went to youtube but it ended up directing me to adobe's download page | 08:15 |

| kevin_ | any suggestions on getting veoh to run in ubuntu, will simply installing it through wine work? | 08:16 |
| josef_ | guys i like too try xfce on my kubuntu, what is the syntax in apt-get or command | 08:16 |
| mynetdude | Slart its supposed to, and sometimes you can get the adobe flash to install the plugin for browser of choice | 08:16 |
| Slart | aaron_: huh? you didn't get a small line on the top of the firefox window saying something like "you need a plugin to play some of the stuff om this page" ? | 08:16 |
| mynetdude | wonder what version of FF he has | 08:17 |
| Slart | mynetdude: sometimes?.. has things deteriorated since I did this the last time.. I've never had the firefox flash install fail on me.. weird | 08:17 |
| adibha | i guess it is flash player.. | 08:17 |
| adibha | ok shockwave player.. | 08:18 |
| adibha | click on that and it will take you to the site of the player needed.. | 08:18 |
| elitemind | blackfriar, It still didnt work? Shows the files just not letting me move stuff over | 08:18 |
| nubuntu | wols_: you still here, i don't know i think i was knocked off, everything just reset on chatzilla | 08:19 |

| Slart | aaron_: so it works now? | 08:26 |
| saint-takeshi | nubuntu: try invoking gnome-panel from terminal? | 08:26 |
| Slart | nubuntu: what happens if you run this "pkill gnome-panel; gnome-panel" | 08:26 |
| nubuntu | saint-takeshi: um, so, do you remember what the fix was? | 08:26 |
| aaron_ | yep it would seem so lol | 08:27 |
| Slart | nubuntu: the first part just kills off any old gnome-panel processes.. then it runs them again | 08:27 |
| saint-takeshi | nubuntu: i think i just cried and banged my head off the monitor until i could be bothered reinstalling from scratch, to ne honest....that's my usual trick. | 08:27 |
| saint-takeshi | be* | 08:28 |
| nubuntu | slart: exactly as you wrote it? pkill gnome-panel; gnome-panel ? | 08:29 |
| Slart | nubuntu: yes.. you can copy paste it | 08:29 |
| nubuntu | saint-takeshi: this IS a fresh install!!! :( | 08:29 |
| saint-takeshi | nubuntu: (tip: it's shift+insert to paste into terminal) | 08:29 |
| nubuntu | slart: ok, i try | 08:30 |

| nubuntu | saint-takeshi: i like that trick.... and slart, said i don't have gnome panel installed and to sudo apt-get it, in process now | 08:32 |
| saint-takeshi | nubuntu: that's weird...you update your video driver and it removes gnome-panel? | 08:34 |
| nubuntu | i wonder where it went, because i dint UNINSTALL it, and it was there yesterday.... | 08:34 |

| nubuntu | slart: to i have to restart system? term came back to command prompt, but no panels showing yet | 08:35 |

| pixel683 | I'm new to ubuntu (not to linux), but am I right to assume that switching to KDE from a default 8.04 ubuntu install is pretty easy? | 08:37 |
| nubuntu | ok's, be right back, thanx guys | 08:37 |
| pixel683 | I don't mind a bit of bloat from the gnome stuff right now, although I'd probably remove it eventually. | 08:37 |
| saint-takeshi | see you soon, nubuntu | 08:37 |
| Slart | pixel683: yes.. install the kde-desktop .. or whatever it's called.. and you should be able to change the session at the login prompt | 08:37 |
| pixel683 | Slart: OK, and should I expect there to be reasonable amounts of KDE administrative tools, or is that pretty much gnome-only? | 08:38 |

| pixel683 | jscinoz: linux tends to lose out when it comes to graphics + rendering, that's likely your issue | 08:39 |
| JustAName | I'm pretty knowledgeable about linux and programming, et al. I just don't know anything about how a wacom setup is supposed to work with X | 08:39 |
| saint-takeshi | dangergrrl: that sounds suspiciously like the problem i've been having, except you seem to know more about it. it's not an acer laptop you're using is it? | 08:39 |
| jscinoz_ | pixel683, but its just firefox? | 08:39 |
| jscinoz_ | pixel683, could it be something to do with i/o? as it seems to use the disk a lot more than other apps | 08:40 |
| pixel683 | jscinoz: firefox can be pretty hefty... how much ram/swap do you have? | 08:40 |
| dangergrrl | no, itś an emachines minitower | 08:40 |
| jscinoz_ | pixel683, 4GB ram, no swap | 08:40 |

| nubuntu | slart: and saint takeshi, you won't believe this stupid thing .... | 08:43 |
| ActionParsnip | hey all | 08:43 |
| pixel683 | lvm = partitions resize on-the-fly, yeah? | 08:43 |
| jscinoz | use it to merge the 4gb and 16gb SSD's into one volume, encrypt that, then make home and root LVs on that | 08:43 |
| jscinoz | pixel683, and other things | 08:43 |
| ActionParsnip | is there an antivirus which can be ran / updated / etc via a webfrontend? | 08:44 |
| pixel683 | cool | 08:44 |
| dangergrrl | well, this machine isn´t mine and i had to preserve a ntfs partition so i had 8g at the beginning of the disk and 30 at the end | 08:44 |
| Slart | nubuntu: try us =) | 08:44 |
| dangergrrl | lvm lets you merge those and create a single fs on them | 08:44 |
| saint-takeshi | nubuntu: still no panel? | 08:44 |
| dangergrrl | if you buy a new disk you can add it to your existing lv and extend most popular filesystems to use it | 08:45 |
| jscinoz | i wish e2fsadm worked with lvm2 | 08:45 |
| nubuntu | i restarted x, and then typed gnome-panel into the term. i got a dialog box that said problem loading fast user switch applet, do i want to delete applet, i said no. anyways the panels (1 and 2) appeared, and everything looked great, but AS SOON as i closed the terminal, POOF, away went the panel again! | 08:45 |
| jscinoz | its a pain having to resize partition and LV separately and by block count | 08:45 |
| dangergrrl | jscinoz: bug it at severity feature request | 08:46 |
| nubuntu | WTF? :( | 08:46 |
| TuXNuBGuy | Jokka[Tux]: lol...nm...thought that was directed towards me | 08:46 |
| nubuntu | :) | 08:46 |
| jscinoz | nubuntu thats because if a tasks parent process dies, it is usually kileld too (terminal was panels parent process) | 08:46 |
| ActionParsnip | nubuntu: run it with a & at the end | 08:46 |
| Slart | nubuntu: try running "gnome-panel &" .. then type "exit". | 08:46 |
| TuXNuBGuy | i am so lost | 08:46 |
| ActionParsnip | nubuntu: somecommand & | 08:46 |
| Jokka[Tux] | "could not show /home/usernam the specified location is invalid" got it set on /home/username. any help? | 08:46 |
| jscinoz | dangergrrl, i believe its already being worked on by upstream | 08:46 |
| Jokka[Tux] | TuXNuBGuy, lol np | 08:47 |
| ActionParsnip | Jokka[Tux]: use ~/ instead if you are running a command ponting to home | 08:47 |
| nubuntu | slart: when do i type 'exit'? | 08:47 |
| Slart | nubuntu: on the next line in the terminal | 08:47 |
| nubuntu | k, lemme try | 08:48 |
| dangergrrl | oh, good deal if they are already working on it | 08:48 |
| ActionParsnip | Jokka[Tux]: or is that not what you meant | 08:48 |
| Jokka[Tux] | ActionParsnip, still says location is invalid | 08:48 |
| saint-takeshi | nubuntu: that's just to close the terminal. the "&" means keep the command alive after the parent process (xterm) is closed | 08:48 |
| ActionParsnip | Jokka[Tux]: what exactly are you doing? | 08:48 |
| Jokka[Tux] | ActionParsnip, trying to set up a panel shortcut to my home folder | 08:49 |

| theRealBall | oh sorry wrong room | 08:50 |
| ActionParsnip | Jokka[Tux]: let me see how you set it. Is there a /home/<whatever your username is> | 08:50 |

| saint-takeshi | panel* | 08:53 |
| Jokka[Tux] | DistroJockey, yeah i guess it would but that would depend how i use in terminal wouldnt it? etc im in a different folder or somethin | 08:53 |

| AeronTG | ActionParsnip: on sda1 there is 29G available | 08:54 |
| DistroJockey | Jokka[Tux], don't think so, nautilus is run as who you are logged in as, so you get that home folder | 08:54 |

| ricoza | DJ, aptoncd only makes backups of packages in the apt cache. So I'm thinking I'll just copy all the .deb files to /var/cache/apt/archives. do you foresee any problem with that idea? | 09:14 |
| ricoza | DJ, something like find mirror/ -iname *.deb | xargs cp -t /var/cache/apt/archives , and then run APTonCD | 09:15 |
| AeronTG | ActionParsnip: i killed the process, then restarted...same problem | 09:16 |
| ActionParsnip | so now it doesnt even run? | 09:16 |
| DistroJockey | ricoza, putting them in archives should be no problem | 09:16 |
| ricoza | cool, thanks. I'll try that then | 09:18 |
| DistroJockey | ricoza, no problem, btw, if you just use DJ my name doesn't hightlite ;) You can use tab completion here though :) | 09:19 |
| AeronTG | ActionParsnip: yes, gwget "runs", it just won't resume downloading the file in question, it continues giving me the "Error: Unknown error" message in the connection status field | 09:19 |
| ActionParsnip | AeronTG: can you remove the download and restart it again | 09:20 |
| ricoza | DistroJockey, thanks. Handy hint that! | 09:20 |
| ne2k__ | two questions. 1) what's the easiest way to tell if I have an x86_64 processor vs. an x86 one? 2) what is the effect of running a kernel/modules/other binaries compiled for x86_64 on an x86_32? | 09:20 |
| DistroJockey | ricoza, :) You're welcome | 09:20 |
| ne2k__ | DistroJockey: tab completion is a client feature | 09:20 |
| cozierfamily | hey can someone tell me how to reset my Gnome Session for my normal account? It keeps freezing for some reason | 09:21 |

| noobman | I used /usr/local/sbin/rcm to say that I want to mount an NFS drive. It seems | 09:22 |

| ronny | hi | 09:23 |
| === DBLobster is now known as U09526 | ||
| ronny | anyone knows a bin2iso package ? | 09:23 |
| AeronTG | Uhm, yeah, sure I can .... dude ..... remove this frigging download and start all over 192mb on dialup :( | 09:23 |
| DistroJockey | ne2k__, if you do cat /proc/cpuinfo you may be able to tell if it's 64bit by the flags or other identifiers (can't check, only have 32bit) | 09:23 |
| AeronTG | gwget sucks, i think | 09:24 |
| nubuntu | in general, with open source products, where do you go to get source code? is there a grand repository somewhere? | 09:24 |
| DistroJockey | ne2k__, as for 64bit on 32bit hardware, I doubt you will get far | 09:24 |
| ne2k__ | DistroJockey: sure can, but like you, I don't know how to interpret those flags ;-) clflush size = 64, cache_alignment = 64, address sizes = 36 bits physical, 48 bits virtual | 09:25 |
| Starnestommy | nubuntu: the project normally will tell you where to either download an archive or the sources or tell you where its version control repo is | 09:25 |
| Starnestommy | ne2k__: that looks like 64-bit | 09:25 |
| glitsj16 | cozierfamily: perhaps emptying your session cache can help, they would be below your ~/.cache folder i believe | 09:25 |
| DistroJockey | ne2k__, flags : fpu vme de pse tsc msr pae mce cx8 apic sep mtrr pge mca cmov pat pse36 clflush dts acpi mmx fxsr sse sse2 ss ht tm pbe pebs bts sync_rdtsc cid xtpr | 09:25 |

| DistroJockey | ne2k__, for my model name: Intel(R) Pentium(R) 4 CPU 3.20GHz | 09:25 |
| cozierfamily | glitsj16; if i remove everything would that work? | 09:26 |
| ne2k__ | DistroJockey: well, it's a Genuine Intel family 6 model 15 stepping 13 (Intel Core2Due CPU E4500 2.20GHz) | 09:26 |
| nubuntu | Starnestommy: ok, thanks | 09:26 |
| ne2k__ | DistroJockey: interestingly, the model name says it's a 2.2GHz processor, and the CPU MHz value is 1200.000 | 09:26 |
| glitsj16 | cozierfamily: yes, you can make a backup too and try to logout / login to check if it helped to solve the freezing issues | 09:27 |
| Gin | ne2k__, probably because you are using cpu freq scaling | 09:27 |
| ne2k__ | Gin: which means? | 09:27 |
| c0nfl|ct | bom dia | 09:27 |
| DistroJockey | ne2k__, well Intel says Intel® EM64T for that one. I'm guessing it's speedstepped atm | 09:27 |
| Gin | means the freq goes up only when the OS needs it | 09:27 |
| ne2k__ | Gin: that's clever. less CO_2 emissions | 09:28 |
| wols_ | it's clever since it's less heat mainly | 09:28 |
| Gin | ne2k__, cpu freq scaling has been around for years now :\ | 09:28 |

| cozierfamily | glitsj16, i have a directory called "tracker" that i can't seem to remove with the sudo rmdir command (because it's full) | 09:29 |
| glitsj16 | ne_2k: indeed, there's lots of valuable info in that respect at www.lesswatts.org if you haven't seen that already | 09:29 |
| cozierfamily | whatever "tracker" is... | 09:29 |
| glitsj16 | cozierfamily: odd, don't know what tracker does, did you try to rename it ? that might be another way to move it out of the way for now | 09:30 |
| DistroJockey | ne2k__, btw, could you please show me the codes you have for flags in /proc/cpuinfo for comparison? | 09:31 |
| cozierfamily | hehe d.w i went sudo rm -rf tracker | 09:33 |
| cozierfamily | :p | 09:33 |

| DistroJockey | IndyGunFreak, nope, my . folders are all owned by me | 09:35 |
| glitsj16 | IndyGunFreak: that's the first time i hear such a thing, at least under ~ all files are owned by user | 09:35 |
| DistroJockey | ne2k__, thanks | 09:35 |
| IndyGunFreak | hmm, interesting.. cuz most of mine when i've tried adding stuff to those folders, i get a permission error. | 09:36 |
| IndyGunFreak | i'll have to look into that | 09:36 |
| DistroJockey | IndyGunFreak, odd, yeah, I've not tried deleting any ;) | 09:36 |
| glitsj16 | IndyGunFreak: yes do, that's not standard behaviour for your home dir | 09:37 |
| IndyGunFreak | DistroJockey: me either... actually just looking through them, it seems to be only a select few of them, which are the ones i've needed to accessi n the past. | 09:37 |
| DistroJockey | ne2k__, I think the ssse3 flag = 64 bit | 09:37 |
| DistroJockey | IndyGunFreak, ahh | 09:37 |
| IndyGunFreak | its not really a huge issue, its probably something i done while editing those folders w/o paying attention | 09:37 |

| ne2k__ | mettler: is that a Dell hardware raid controller? | 09:39 |
| IndyGunFreak | i mean, is nelson mandela talking about ubuntu, really *That* important that it needs to be protectedl ike that? | 09:39 |
| DistroJockey | IndyGunFreak, hehe | 09:40 |
| hans-solo | please help desktop is upside down. my neck hurts | 09:40 |
| ne2k__ | mettler: afaik the LSI stuff is all well supported on linux through the MegaRAID driver | 09:40 |

| Myrtti | IndyGunFreak: consider multiuser computers | 09:42 |

| mettler | ne2k__ thx! so u think itt will work out of the box with ubuntu ? | 09:42 |

| ne2k__ | mettler: check in the megaraid documentation and see if that model is listed | 09:43 |
| IndyGunFreak | its still funny to me though, that of all things they protect, they protect an example spreadsheet of a home mortgage, a video of nelson mandella, some cheesy graphics, and a few other misc. stuff | 09:43 |

| cyberbuff | hello. I installed Hardy recently. But looks like ubuntu is keeping my CPU a little too busy. Can someone suggest me a lightweight linuxdistro? | 10:23 |
| DistroJockey | doubled, you may like to install paman and paprefs and maybe others to check/configure pulseaudio | 10:23 |
| DistroJockey | doubled, I do assume you are using Hardy btw :) | 10:24 |
| glitsj16 | cyberbuff: xubuntu or fluxubuntu could be better alternatives in that case | 10:24 |
| doubled | DistroJockey: i am using 7.10. when i upgraded within 7.10 to 8.04 my integrated network card stopped working | 10:25 |
| glitsj16 | cyberbuff: that's fluxbuntu sorry, typo | 10:25 |
| DistroJockey | doubled, happens a bit :( | 10:25 |
| doubled | DistroJockey: what is paman\paprefs ? :) | 10:25 |
| DistroJockey | doubled, I've not seen many good results from upgrades | 10:25 |
| DistroJockey | doubled, they be PulseAudio tools (pulseaudio is the new sound server in 8.04 | 10:26 |
| doubled | DistroJockey: i am willing to reinstall completely and try 8.04 from the start. but i dont know which image to download. because the desktop version i downloaded was only 700 something mb, and that was the dvd release :s | 10:26 |
| DistroJockey | doubled, I recomend the Alternate CD | 10:27 |
| doubled | and would you recommend the 64bits version ? | 10:27 |
| DistroJockey | doubled, nope | 10:28 |
| PradeepDebata | I am not able to get advanced desktop effects settings | 10:28 |

| doubled | then that one | 10:30 |
| DistroJockey | doubled, that would be a 64 bit version. Can try it I guess | 10:30 |

| hans-solo | how do I know if compiz is installed in the system | 10:31 |
| doubled | DistroJockey: 2GB | 10:31 |
| DistroJockey | doubled, well, 32bit is fine for that. What else will you use the system for? | 10:32 |
| glitsj16 | cyberbuff: it wouldn't do much no, besides lightening your hard disk .. gnome (and the gnome based applications) are what makes regular ubuntu a bit heavy on older hardware | 10:32 |
| doubled | DistroJockey: have been happily running 7.10 for few days already without returning to windows :) it uses 604MB atm | 10:32 |
| DistroJockey | doubled, 64 bit or 32 bit? | 10:32 |

| dave421 | I'm going nuts | 10:33 |
| hans-solo | \j compiz | 10:33 |
| glitsj16 | cyberbuff: i do believe you can uninstall ubuntu-desktop and replace that with xubuntu-desktop, no need to reinstall since the underlying linux base is exacxtly the same | 10:33 |
| cyberbuff | glitsj16: since i am familar with ubuntu i think i should go for xubuntu | 10:33 |
| glitsj16 | cyberbuff: sure xubuntu is good, it's officially supported by canonical just like kubuntu and ubuntu | 10:33 |
| cyberbuff | glitsj16: you mean just install XFCE? | 10:34 |
| doctorow | The volume control widget in my Gnome toolbar seems to turn the built-in mic gain up and down, rather than the speakers. How do I get it to work the speakers instead? | 10:34 |
| glitsj16 | cyberbuff: i think xubuntu-desktop does that yes, hang on i'll check | 10:34 |
| doubled | hans-solo, PradeepDebata: go to system, administration, synaptics package manager. search for compiz in there and install it if its not installed. for advanced settigns, mark the settings manager as well and apply the changes | 10:34 |

| dave421 | I'm sorry if my question is nOObishly offensive, btw. | 10:37 |
| glitsj16 | cyberbuff: all you need to do is install the "xubuntu-desktop" package, then choose the "xfce-session" or similar selection from the GDM login manager and you're all set | 10:37 |
| glitsj16 | cyberbuff: do that via Synaptic and you'll get to see what gets installed that way before committing, just to be on the safe side | 10:38 |

| LoganPayne | PossibleBit: I hear WoW fine. It's just I can't use rythmnbox while using wine | 11:03 |

| qwerty121 | hi! i am new to hardy. After i installed it on my hdd, i tried to install build-essential from the cd by "sudo apt-get install build-essential" but it's asking me to put the cd in the cd rom whereas it's already there. Someone please help me... | 11:04 |
| PossibleBit | qwerty121: just remove the CD from your reps | 11:04 |
| LoganPayne | PossibleBit: if this is one of those if you have to ask then you didn't...I didn't | 11:04 |
| PossibleBit | okay. | 11:04 |
| PossibleBit | qwerty121: go to system - Administration - Software Sources and untick the CD-Rom Box | 11:04 |
| qwerty121 | PossibleBit: then? | 11:05 |
| PossibleBit | retry installing the package | 11:05 |
| * LoganPayne is somewhat new to Ubuntu...or for that matter *nix | 11:05 | |
| PossibleBit | LoganPayne: Install libasound2-plugins and asoundconf-gtk | 11:05 |
| qwerty121 | PossibleBit: keeping the Cd in the cdrom? | 11:05 |
| PossibleBit | nah | 11:05 |
| PossibleBit | it should fetch it via internet then | 11:06 |
| LoganPayne | what are these packages for | 11:06 |
| PossibleBit | not quite sure. But when you run asoundconf-gtk afterwards, you should be able to choose pulse as your ALSA card. | 11:06 |
| PossibleBit | LoganPayne: Just figured out, the plugins allow you to use pulse as your ALSA device. | 11:07 |
| anirudh0 | hi..windows does'nt show up in grub menu...my menu.lst is here http://pastebin.com/m1c995813 | 11:07 |
| qwerty121 | PossibleBit: yap! it's working thanks. what was the problem with it, btw/ | 11:07 |
| PossibleBit | Well qwerty121: APT tried to get the package from your CD, instead of the internet. | 11:07 |
| anirudh0 | my gparted screenshot is at http://img162.imageshack.us/img162/4195/screenshotvc6.png | 11:07 |
| PossibleBit | LoganPayne: tell me if that makes any difference. | 11:08 |
| qwerty121 | PossibleBit: but in the previous releases of Ubuntu, it used to be in the CD | 11:08 |
| LoganPayne | PossibleBit: will do...running the stuff now | 11:08 |
| anirudh0 | any ideas? | 11:08 |
| PossibleBit | Yeah maybe. Maybe the version of the package wasn't on the CD. | 11:08 |
| PossibleBit | right qwerty121 have you enabled all package sources btw? | 11:09 |
| qwerty121 | well, don't know. | 11:09 |
| * qwerty121 is confused. | 11:09 | |
| PossibleBit | in Software sources you should probably tick all the boxes for Universe, Multiverse and maybe restricted as well, then use synaptics to reload your package info | 11:10 |
| PossibleBit | you get access to a wagonload of new packages that way. | 11:10 |
| qwerty121 | PossibleBit: ok. got it. | 11:10 |
| LoganPayne | I installed the packages I guess I use this conf-gtk app to | 11:11 |
| PossibleBit | yeah | 11:11 |
| babo | it appears that my connection to the home router keeps crashing. it's really annoying. especially since emacs && remote windows server conspire to delete the page that i happen to be working on when it happens ... | 11:11 |
| PossibleBit | just run asoundconf-gtk | 11:11 |
| PossibleBit | and choose pulse from the dropdown menu | 11:11 |
| LoganPayne | ok | 11:11 |
| LoganPayne | rebooting my apps | 11:11 |
| PossibleBit | This should theoretically force your alsa to use the software mixer, thus not blocking the sound device | 11:12 |
| LoganPayne | wow you're a lifesaver | 11:12 |
| LoganPayne | Thanks | 11:12 |
| PossibleBit | does it work? | 11:12 |
| LoganPayne | Yes | 11:12 |
| PossibleBit | cool :D Glad to be of help. | 11:12 |
| LoganPayne | I was always unsure of what was causing that bug | 11:12 |
| PossibleBit | Yeah well, if you configure your ALSA to use your soundcard directly it blocks the device. | 11:13 |
| DistroJockey | anirudh0, added to the end: http://pastebin.com/m54cdd682 | 11:14 |

| aljosa | how can i remove broken package? i tried "dpkg --force-all -r db2exc" but it didn't work. package is ibm db2. | 11:14 |
| PossibleBit | Well you know. Compiz does need quite some high end hardware, LoganPayne. | 11:15 |
| koshari | can i load ubuntu mobile edition onto a vanilla PC with a session option like kde, gnome fluxbox ect??? | 11:15 |
| LoganPayne | I like to think I have that | 11:15 |
| LoganPayne | Nvidia 7300 | 11:15 |
| PossibleBit | If you want to get more juice out of your machine you should probably try using "metacity --replace" first | 11:15 |
| LoganPayne | That turns on metacity? | 11:15 |
| PossibleBit | yeah. | 11:15 |
| LoganPayne | I do that via fusion-icon | 11:15 |
| PossibleBit | okay. | 11:16 |
| anirudh0 | DistroJockey, thanks...trying that now | 11:16 |
| PossibleBit | Metacity is far less hardware-heavy than compiz | 11:16 |
| LoganPayne | I just stopped using compiz until I can figure out why it doesn't go so well with my second monitor...maybe it's just my hardware's at it's limit but my first monitor runs fine while the second one is slow | 11:16 |

| DistroJockey | Ven]n, aye | 11:29 |
| om3ga | i can't install my ubuntu hardy heron on my HDD | 11:30 |
| dns53 | om3ga feel free to just ask and not ask for permission | 11:30 |
| Ven]n | DistroJockey: i dont want to right click and then click mute.. | 11:30 |
| ganeshlasasa | hello | 11:30 |
| om3ga | ok | 11:30 |
| om3ga | thanks | 11:30 |
| Ven]n | so i want the one i had in xfce.. is that possile? | 11:30 |
| ganeshlasasa | can someone explain me what pixel-wise means? | 11:30 |
| Ven]n | hehe | 11:30 |
| om3ga | i have a problem installing the OS on my external HDD | 11:30 |
| DistroJockey | Ven]n, ohh, fair enough. | 11:30 |
| Ven]n | i work in a tourist office you see.. and if i listen to music, i want to turn it off asap when tourist come in | 11:31 |
| Ven]n | :p | 11:31 |
| om3ga | can i install the ubuntu hardy heron on a partitioned HDD? | 11:31 |
| PossibleBit | LoganPayne: huh? | 11:31 |
| dns53 | om3ga so you installed it like normal, did you get it to install grub on he mbr on the new partition? | 11:31 |
| LoganPayne | PossibleBit: I configured it wrong and I killed wine's sound but now they both work together | 11:32 |
| om3ga | nope | 11:32 |
| PossibleBit | oh okay | 11:32 |
| om3ga | this is what i did...i removed my laptop's HDD and placed it on a external enclosure | 11:33 |
| kantor | hi, I'v installed installed ubuntu 8.04 and xmms from source code because it was removed from the distribution, after this I installed the xmms-flac codec, but it's not working, can somebody tell me why ? I also have Debian etch and there the codec works | 11:33 |
| om3ga | because my laptop's dvd drive is broken | 11:33 |
| PossibleBit | kantor: don't use XMMS use Audacious | 11:33 |
| === master_o1_master is now known as master_of_master | ||
| kantor | PossibleBit, but xmms it's more stable, I mean you can feel that when you compare the two players, if you know what I mean | 11:34 |
| om3ga | so i tried installing it on another computer....my external HDD has 2 partitions | 11:34 |
| dns53 | om3ga does grub appear? | 11:35 |
| Vhozard | i now have a 200 Watt PSU, can I install this graphic card? http://www.alternate.nl/html/product/details.html?articleId=-1068023&showTechData=true | 11:35 |
| bazhang | Vhozard, you might try asking in ##hardware | 11:35 |
| om3ga | the intallation process is until step 3 or 4 only | 11:35 |
| dns53 | Vhozard my guess is no,if it needs a bigger power supply it is not big enough | 11:36 |
| Vhozard | bazhang ok | 11:36 |
| om3ga | it tells me that i dont have a root | 11:36 |
| om3ga | but i can see my external drives in the selection | 11:36 |
| om3ga | but when i move forward it tells me that i dont have a root | 11:37 |
| Vhozard | dns53 my total is 200 watt and this card needs 110 watt | 11:37 |
| dns53 | om3ga you need a / mounted, you can use what we currently have by selecting your external drive and make that the root | 11:38 |
| om3ga | how can i do that? | 11:39 |
| BT | Hi, I need some help, I installed ubuntu on a secondary partition and I don't think it installed grub. Well my computer wen't on to boot windows from the primary drive | 11:39 |
| om3ga | sorry...i'm really new in using ubuntu | 11:39 |
| bazhang | !grub | 11:39 |
| jegHegy | greetings. i would like to edit a text file on a remote ubuntu server using gedit on my local ubuntu. my remote user doesn't have write access to the file, but i have permissions to use sudo. how can i do this through gvfs? | 11:39 |
| ubottu | grub is the default Ubuntu boot manager. Lost grub after installing windows: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/RecoveringUbuntuAfterInstallingWindows - Making GRUB floppies & other GRUB howtos: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/GrubHowto | 11:39 |
| dns53 | what installer are you using the live or the alternate? | 11:40 |
| BT | thanks bazhang | 11:40 |
| om3ga | live | 11:40 |
| om3ga | i have the cd with me | 11:40 |
| dns53 | jegHegy ssh machine -X, then sudo gedit | 11:40 |
| DistroJockey | om3ga, you need to partition the drive so that you have a root "/" partition | 11:41 |
| om3ga | i already have a partition | 11:41 |
| jegHegy | dns53: there's no X on the remote server. :( | 11:42 |
| DistroJockey | om3ga, is it blank? | 11:42 |
| jegHegy | dns53: thus no gedit | 11:42 |
| om3ga | @distroJockey yep it is blank | 11:42 |
| bazhang | jegHegy, what about sudo nano | 11:42 |
| esay | pardus pardus | 11:42 |
| om3ga | but the other partition has files in it | 11:42 |
| bullgard4 | My Hardy syslog reports when resuming from Hibernate: "swsusp: available pages: 128558." I have got 1 GB RAM which is shared with the graphics controller. Is a 8192 bytes page size the most common page size in Ubuntu? | 11:42 |
| DistroJockey | om3ga, you are doing an install on a totally clean disk? | 11:42 |
| om3ga | nope | 11:42 |
| bazhang | esay try #pardus | 11:43 |
| jegHegy | bazhang: that's what i'm doing currently. will have to do if there's no way to achieve what i described, i guess. :) | 11:43 |
| DistroJockey | om3ga, well, the installer won't let you go further without a / partition | 11:43 |
| om3ga | my first partition is blank w/c has only 10Gb and the other has files in it w/c is 30 Gb | 11:44 |
| om3ga | so how would i do that> | 11:44 |
| DistroJockey | om3ga, back them up if you havn't | 11:44 |
| dns53 | om3ga so you have a drive with linux previously installed and it is not booting now you have it in a case | 11:45 |
| om3ga | so i have to back-up my files on my 30 GB partition? | 11:45 |
| DistroJockey | om3ga, I'd backup to a separate drive | 11:45 |
| om3ga | ok | 11:45 |
| DistroJockey | om3ga, you are messing around with filesystems/partitions, always have a backup | 11:46 |
| om3ga | then after that i have to reformat my whole hard drive? | 11:46 |
| DistroJockey | om3ga, not necessarily, but better safe than sorry | 11:46 |
| om3ga | then have a clean install and let the ubuntu partition my disk? | 11:46 |
| om3ga | can't i just select the drive on which i can install the OS? | 11:47 |
| om3ga | can't i just select the drive on which i can install the OS? @DistroJockey | 11:47 |
| DistroJockey | om3ga, you can | 11:48 |
| om3ga | i mean the partitioned drive | 11:48 |

| it_is_me | oops that should say bought | 11:49 |
| DistroJockey | om3ga, you can do all sorts of things, just have a backup on another drive that isn't connected | 11:49 |
| bazhang | it_is_me, the libdvdcss2 link? | 11:50 |
| it_is_me | and thanks up front for the help | 11:50 |
| om3ga | oh ok | 11:50 |
| bazhang | it_is_me, what about ubuntu-restricted-extras? | 11:50 |
| om3ga | i'll try that | 11:50 |
| dns53 | it_is_me are you in america? it is illegal to get rid of the copyprotection, but what you need is libdvdcss which you can get from mediabuntu | 11:50 |
| om3ga | i just have to find another drive.... | 11:50 |
| bazhang | medibuntu | 11:50 |
| it_is_me | yes that link | 11:50 |
| DistroJockey | om3ga, I just don't want to give you instructions that may cause you to lose data :) | 11:51 |
| bazhang | it_is_me, you might also try using vlc | 11:51 |
| om3ga | ok | 11:51 |
| om3ga | anyways thanks for the help | 11:51 |
| it_is_me | i hate tp sound dumb, but i am new to ubuntu, what is vlc | 11:51 |
| DistroJockey | om3ga, and dealing with disks and partitioning, there is always that chance | 11:51 |
| om3ga | will try first your suggestion | 11:51 |
| om3ga | will try first your suggestions | 11:51 |
| bazhang | it_is_me, it is the swiss army knife of media players :) | 11:51 |
| bazhang | it_is_me, sudo apt-get install vlc | 11:52 |

| Reaper | Hi, I have this problem - Sometimes I can access my D ( Media Disk ), sometimes NOT. Saying can't mount volume, and when I try to mount it, it says only root can... | 11:56 |
| BT | bazhang, sorry not sure what that is, how can i check? | 11:57 |
| Reaper | Like now I can't, byt maybe if I reboot, it would. | 11:57 |
| Jaffarkelshac | do you dual boot with xp? Reaper | 11:57 |
| bazhang | BT, if the keyboard is set to repeat then you need to type more deliberately (or may get double entry for characters) | 11:57 |
| Reaper | Jaff, yes. | 11:57 |
| Reaper | I am on Dual Boot with XP. | 11:57 |
| bazhang | BT, system prefs keyboard | 11:58 |
| Jaffarkelshac | if you hibernate with xp you cant access in ubuntu ReAn | 11:58 |
| Jaffarkelshac | if you hibernate with xp you cant access in ubuntu Reaper | 11:58 |
| Reaper | Hmmm | 11:58 |
| dns53 | Reaper you may not be in the disks group | 11:58 |
| Reaper | Then, what's the solution? | 11:58 |
| Jaffarkelshac | try commenting it out of fstab and trying to mount, Reaper | 11:58 |
| Reaper | Sorry I'm a total Ubuntu newbie. | 11:59 |
| Jaffarkelshac | does it automount when you use ubuntu or you click it to mount Reaper | 11:59 |
| Reaper | Automount, and that's SOMETIMES. | 11:59 |
| Reaper | Not always, and the other times, when It's unmount, and I try to - it says it can't. | 11:59 |
| dns53 | Reaper system > administration > authorisations | 11:59 |
| BT | bazhang, i don't think keyboard is set to repeat, i'll try check what you suggested. What i am getting now is the login sound after i try and then i return back to the login screen | 11:59 |
| Reaper | I tried through a terminal following a documentation, said : Only root can. | 11:59 |
| marcel_ | hello everybody | 12:00 |
| Jaffarkelshac | do you have an entry for that drive in your fstab Reaper ? | 12:00 |

| Reaper | If I enter the file system on my UBuntu, the d drive is called sda5 | 12:16 |

| WalloO | amina, it is not an overkill, since it's probably the simpler thing to do. | 12:41 |

| marcel_ | thanks for the info jrib I am new to the whole linux ubunto came from windows so I am newbie haha thank you for your help | 12:41 |
| Dr_Willis | amina, you want a SAFE server... or you want somthing that may get broken into easially. winscp is very easy for windows users to use. | 12:41 |
| jrib | marcel_: no problem, welcome :) | 12:41 |
| bazhang | rampageoberon, did you remove quiet and splash from grub menu? | 12:42 |
| avis | how is the sshfs used? i'm interested in using it to store backups for important files to a publicly accessible web server that grants me ssh access. also, if i were to use this web server to backup potentially sensitive information, what kind of failsafe measures can i use to make sure whats backed up remains private? | 12:42 |
| hab_21 | ok made media windows folder how to mount sda 2 and sda5? | 12:42 |
| sid1 | dns53: okay, I had an old computer running gentoo, and I can't get a cd drive to work. so i copied the netboot files and set up grub accordingly and booted straight into the install process | 12:42 |

| amina | WalloO: thanks, Dr_Willis: well the biggest issue would be to force these users to change their habits :) | 12:42 |
| Dr_Willis | amina, share ing a directory with samba over the internet is not a good idea at all. :) | 12:42 |
| jrib | Bamsemh: the best one for you is the one you think is best. Try them all (the desktop cd is a live cd), and use the one you like | 12:42 |
| bazhang | rampageoberon, get into grub then hit e to edit and remove quiet and splash :) | 12:42 |
| hab_21 | so what next? | 12:42 |

| coldboot|home | When I type: 'ls "~/' without the single-quotes, and I press tab, bash no longer completes ~/ to /home/user, because it's in double quotes. Also, if I type 'ls "~/"' without double-quotes, ls and other programs don't understand what ~/ is because it's not getting expanded in double quotes. I think this has to do with /etc/bash_completion, any idea how to fix it? | 16:27 |
| majoka | shenny look at concky scripts that'll guide you | 16:27 |
| yggwork | drrebellion , very good. is there a short cut key sequence ? | 16:27 |

| bochecha[taf] | I have a doubt, I read that Brainstorm was an Open Source project, but I can't find an upstream site with a download area for the sources, etc... Am I wrong ? | 16:28 |
| ads_ | sipior: ok linux is fine kde is fine.. gnome the fonts,encoding or language is incorrect as im getting square zeroes in the menu items and clock how can i fix this .. i just reinstalled gnome with "apt-get install ubuntustudio-desktop" | 16:28 |
| shenny | majoka: concky scripts? | 16:28 |
| yggwork | hmmm there should be | 16:28 |
| majoka | shenny: you can get the data from system > administration > system monitor | 16:28 |

| glitsj16 | ads_: not really no, i run it too on a different machine, no troubles (without kde that is) | 16:39 |
| ziggy | hi guys | 16:40 |

| Oli`` | ianliu_88: sudo apt-get install nvidia-settings (maybe?) | 16:40 |

| jarl | im having boot time errors, can anyone help me? :\ | 16:40 |
| ianliu_88 | Oli``: Thanks =) | 16:40 |
| WhoNeedszzz | linny: ATI is not very good with support for linux. i would suggest getting an NVIDIA card | 16:40 |
| IndoRama | I have a non-tech question.....Is it ok/legal to print Ubuntu logo on T-Shirts ? ( I know I can get them from Canonical but they are charging too much for shipping ) | 16:40 |

| prince | WhoNeedszzz, not true | 16:40 |
| ziggy | I have been strugliing for the last few days to install nvidia driver on ubuntu HEEEEELLLLP plz | 16:40 |
| glitsj16 | WhoNeedszzz: best that's open for debate, but http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?p=4928900 (parts A & B) will give you flash player 10 beta (solves some sound and fullscreen isuues for a lot of people) | 16:41 |
| Kele1 | DRebellion: So, what can i do while i was installed it completely. | 16:41 |
| ivories | also, my wireless keeps acting up | 16:41 |
| DRebellion | Kele1, I don't know much about lighttpd, but you should probably put the files in the directory it serves out of, configure the daemon to start at boot, and forward port 80 to your router. | 16:41 |
| WhoNeedszzz | glitsj16: ok thanks but sound and fullscreen isn't a problem for me | 16:41 |
| prince | WhoNeedszzz, if you havent notice amd/ati released native linux drivers with their latest card | 16:41 |
| ivories | my wireless keeps disconnecting at random | 16:41 |
| ziggy | anyone????? | 16:42 |
| prince | also those drivers are completely open unlike nvidia | 16:42 |
| WhoNeedszzz | prince: and they work hassle-free? | 16:42 |
| Dr_Willis_ | prince, and some times they even work! :) | 16:42 |
| IndoRama | Ziggy: try envy | 16:42 |
| linny | so what your saying is if you have an ati card you cant run ubuntu with a login screen ? | 16:42 |
| prince | Dr_Willis_, true dat | 16:42 |
| tara0101 | when i upgraded to the newer kernel, my audio broke. Is there a way I can reinstall audio drivers? | 16:42 |
| ziggy | iindoRama: thanks for the reply | 16:42 |
| prince | WhoNeedszzz, they are now gpled | 16:42 |
| WhoNeedszzz | prince: that wasn't my question :p | 16:43 |
| ziggy | I m a newbie...reallly no nothing about linux | 16:43 |
| Jack_Sparrow | IndoRama Please make sure you suggest envyng from the repos and NOT the online version | 16:43 |
| gharz | it doesn't really work!!! | 16:43 |
| gharz | sigh... | 16:43 |
| Dr_Willis_ | prince, i am still waiting for both companies to allow disrto makers to include the drivers | 16:43 |
| xintron | How do I list running processes? | 16:43 |

| 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. | 16:44 |
| Kele1 | DRebellion: So, you have got any experience in lighttpd? | 16:44 |

| tara0101 | I upgraded to the newer kernel, but my audio broke. Is there a way I can reinstall audio drivers? | 16:44 |

| ziggy | I downloaded the nvidia drivers and cant seem to install them | 16:47 |
| ziggy | i m a newbie | 16:47 |
| brianherman | did you use apt-get? | 16:47 |
| prince | ziggy, hehe, I hate those frackin drivers :) | 16:47 |
| ziggy | really need help with the essential drivers | 16:47 |
| Pici | ziggy: Did you try using the built-in driver manager first/ | 16:47 |
| brianherman | use synaptic | 16:47 |
| Jack_Sparrow | ziggy what part of the instructions do you not understand | 16:47 |
| GhostFish2 | Jacksparrow: When I run compiz --replace it has an error and no menu bars return and same with when I run metacity --replace | 16:47 |

| Jack_Sparrow | GhostFish2 /join #compiz.. see if they can help | 16:48 |
| tara0101 | ziggy I used the terminal and it worked alright. Just navigate to the directory where your file is saved and type: sudo sh NVIDIA_driver | 16:48 |
| ziggy | i have this nvidia-linux-x86.173XXX.run file | 16:48 |
| jarl | anyone know what that would mean? :\ | 16:48 |
| ivories | would updating everything possibly help me? | 16:48 |
| ziggy | i have no clue how to install it | 16:48 |
| tara0101 | ziggy, sudo sh would do it | 16:49 |
| DRebellion | jarl, that's quite common. Basically, your monitor can't take the resolution of the framebuffer. Try editing the resolution in /etc/usplash.conf to 800x600. | 16:49 |
| Uplink | how do i update my kernel? | 16:49 |
| prince | Pici what builtin driver manager? | 16:49 |
| xuflash | I'm trying to get some help. I have a Dell Inspiron 1525 which was preloaded with 7.10. I upgraded to the 8.04 version and now my I don't get sound to work on videos, etc. Do you have any suggestions? | 16:49 |
| DRebellion | Uplink, sudo apt-get update && sudo apt-get upgrade | 16:49 |
| ziggy | i did try | 16:49 |
| prince | xuflash, hmm | 16:49 |
| ziggy | when i ls -1 i can see the file in the folder | 16:49 |
| edith | greetings, could someone please help me get firefox to play .mid files (or embeded midi) using Ubuntu Hardy 32bit FF3 | 16:49 |

| Uplink | uplink@HP-Pavilion:~$ uname -r | 16:50 |
| Uplink | 2.6.24-16-generic | 16:50 |
| Dr_Willis_ | ziggy, why are you even messing with that video driver file? the package manager drivers dident work? | 16:50 |
| ziggy | but when i run it it says no found | 16:50 |
| jarl | DRebellion: thanks a lot. thought it doesn't make sense as my default display is 1024x768. that's the correct res for my monitor :s | 16:50 |
| prince | xuflash, what kernel version are you using? | 16:50 |
| tara0101 | I upgraded to the newer kernel, but my audio broke. Is there a way I can reinstall audio drivers? | 16:50 |
| Pici | prince: System>Administrator>Hardware Drivers | 16:50 |
| DRebellion | jarl, well, change it anyway and see if it makes a difference. That's how I fixed mine. | 16:50 |
| ziggy | i have all the drivers installed be default but the eathernet driver is not installed | 16:51 |
| ziggy | so all i m trying to do is to get the network up n runing | 16:51 |
| Hammerhead | my expert mouse pro from kensington is not working after reboot. I have to unplug and plug back in to get it to work....anyone else seen this in Hardy? | 16:51 |
| ziggy | i m happy with the other drivers | 16:51 |
| jarl | DRebellion: ok, thanks man. would that be why splash don't show too? | 16:51 |
| DRebellion | jarl, yep. | 16:51 |
| Dr_Willis_ | ziggy, you sure thats a network driver? ive never heard of someone having a .run file for them. | 16:52 |
| too4 | I'm having problems connecting to my WLAN | 16:52 |
| Dr_Willis_ | ziggy, you would do a 'sudo sh ./path/to/the/thing.run -> if they are in the current directory use sudo sh ./whatever.run | 16:52 |
| tara0101 | Dr_Willis_, yeah I'm confused too... ziggy was talking about nvidia drivers which come in .run directly from the nvidia site | 16:52 |
| ziggy | i downloaded the file from nvidia site, this is i think for the whole motherboard not only for NIC | 16:52 |

| rik_ | someone thinks linux doesn't work on his laptop | 17:15 |
| sipior | roderyk: it shows up in zpool list? | 17:15 |
| TheFyre | dfgas: Most likely, whatever you're looking at is causing a glitch in the Firefox. =\ | 17:16 |
| rik_ | taht's why im asking it here | 17:16 |
| roderyk | sipior: yes | 17:16 |
| JannoTT | There is no open source ati "radeon" driver? | 17:16 |
| === nox-Hand_ is now known as FnuggleMaster | ||
| sipior | roderyk: and it's not just that zpool import returns nothing, but that it hangs? | 17:17 |
| dfgas | TheFyre, sometimes i just have it on tabs of google, gmail, wunderground and a radar on wunderground | 17:17 |
| roderyk | sipior: oh wait; I think I managed to import it... I'm going to reboot it and see if I can consistently get it to import :) | 17:18 |
| diego | hi, i have a problem with conflicting of packages | 17:18 |
| sipior | roderyk: good luck :) | 17:18 |
| roderyk | sipior: should the import be pretty fast, or is it expected to wait several minutes? | 17:18 |
| diego | someone installed exim4 and it's conflicting with postfix | 17:18 |
| glitsj16 | dfgas: does the issue still occur when starting firefox in safe mode ? (firefox -safe-mode from terminal) .. could be an incompatible add-on | 17:18 |
| diego | i can't remove exim now | 17:18 |
| diego | anyone? | 17:18 |
| sipior | roderyk: should be pretty quick, but i've never used it with fuse, so... | 17:19 |

| JannoTT | !envy | 17:20 |
| 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. | 17:20 |

| kitche | rik_: well considering that linux can not run on Mac Os X but with bootcamp if you have a new intel machine will make it easier to uninstall and such | 17:23 |
| Dr_Willis_ | simotempler, but i could be wrong. | 17:23 |

| rampageoberon | Zoiks: you have it previewing files in the thumbnails? | 17:24 |
| _moro_bana_ | my epiphany web browser in not working, cant load pages, help on that? | 17:24 |
| rik_ | it's that a bit dangerous? booting on a cd | 17:25 |
| rik_ | isn't that* | 17:25 |
| DRebellion | rik_, no, its safe | 17:25 |
| glitsj16 | rik_: no | 17:25 |
| Zoiks | rampageoberon: i have not changed any settings. Its practically a new install | 17:25 |
| Dr_Willis_ | rik_, why would using a boot cd be dangerous? | 17:25 |
| simotempler | is cups the port for printing | 17:25 |
| DRebellion | simotempler, cups stands for Common Unix Printing System | 17:25 |

| === arashO_o is now known as arashO|away | ||
| DRebellion | rik_, that's dangerous anyway | 17:26 |
| rampageoberon | Zoiks: ok, its probably that, to disable preview go to Edit -> preferences -> preview and select never (in nautilus). Then check if its using 100% CPU | 17:26 |
| rik_ | then it's a bit dangerous i think | 17:26 |
| rik_ | :P | 17:26 |
| Dr_Willis_ | rik_, theres dangerous and then theres 'stuff that can happen' | 17:27 |
| === idefix is now known as Guest5620 | ||
| rampageoberon | rik_: that is the wubi fewture i think you are referring to specifically | 17:27 |
| glitsj16 | rik_: electricity failure is just as dangerous potentially to a hard disk boot, even with OS X | 17:27 |
| Dr_Willis_ | rik_, hows that different from a normal day on the pc? :) | 17:27 |
| kitche | rik_: not really since booting from cd is sort of like booting from floppy if the hard drive is never initilized | 17:27 |

| Myrtti | !xmms | 17:28 |
| ubottu | For the reason why xmms is no longer in the hardy repositories see: http://bugs.debian.org/461309 . Consider using audacious instead. | 17:28 |

| sfire | :o | 17:28 |
| Zoiks | rampageoberon: yes its still close to 100% | 17:28 |
| GhostFish2 | Hey in Synaptic Package Manager how do you Revert back and undo the last set of updates ? | 17:28 |

| rik_ | any Mac OS X user here who has switched to linux? | 17:28 |
| jokoon | yes | 17:28 |
| rik_ | and said osx goodbye? | 17:29 |

| jokoon | rik_ me | 17:29 |
| sipior | GhostFish2: i don't think that functionality exists, i'm sorry to say | 17:29 |
| Zoiks | rampageoberon: never had this problem before tonight | 17:29 |
| firecat09 | use bmpx, or audacious (sp?) | 17:29 |
| rampageoberon | Zoiks: i'm not sure why else nautilus would be using 100% CPU | 17:29 |
| sipior | GhostFish2: there is a log, however, so you can at least see what's been changed | 17:29 |
| boris | someone tell me, is it possible to tell grub to boot an image ? for example opensuse dvd iso or something like that ? | 17:29 |
| jokoon | rik_ I didn't manage to make a dual boot osx / ubuntu with yaboot | 17:29 |
| GhostFish2 | ???? | 17:29 |
| DRebellion | GhostFish2, upgrading is a one way job. You can't really revert, unless you want to risk completely messing up your system package dependencies. | 17:29 |
| kakoonia | whats the program for partitions? | 17:29 |
| kakoonia | !gparted | 17:30 |
| ubottu | gparted is a !GUI partitioning program. Type « sudo apt-get install gparted » in a console to install it - A GParted "live" CD is available at http://gparted.sourceforge.net/livecd.php | 17:30 |
| Dr_Willis_ | boris, ive seen it done in specific cases.. but it still takes some work. and not always doable for just 'any' iso file | 17:30 |
| gphst | gparted | 17:30 |
| Pici | GhostFish2: I believe you'd have to do it manually. | 17:30 |

| Uplink | DarkRainbow, what version of Ubuntu your planning to install? | 17:32 |
| ubottu | The Alternate CD is a classical text-mode install CD. It supports a wider range of hardware than the !LiveCD, and can also be used as an upgrade CD. Look for the alternate checkbox on the Ubuntu download page - See also !minimal - Torrent at http://releases.ubuntu.com/8.04/ubuntu-8.04-alternate-i386.iso.torrent | 17:32 |
| Dr_Willis_ | rik_, i perfer Ubuntu. | 17:32 |
| grte | rik_: Depends. Do you understand computers to a resonable degree? | 17:32 |
| rik_ | nice | 17:32 |
| tara0101 | rik_, this is probably not the most unbiased place to ask | 17:32 |
| grte | If not, osx is friendly. | 17:32 |
| DarkRainbow | Uplink: 8.04? | 17:32 |
| grte | If so, linux is friendly. | 17:32 |
| jokoon | rik_ : mmmh depends, i would say no, but i prefer linux | 17:32 |
| DarkRainbow | 94% burned LiveCD | 17:32 |
| gphst | easyest way should be to install everything new | 17:32 |
| Dr_Willis_ | Linux is a tool.. :) do you want your Table Saw to Be Friendly? :) | 17:32 |
| Uplink | DarkRainbow, then ur good to go... boot up liveCD and if explore around and if your drivers work and hardware works then your GOOD to Go | 17:32 |
| firecat09 | d | 17:32 |
| grte | Ubuntu is not the table saw of linux distros. | 17:33 |
| gphst | grte: thanx anyways | 17:33 |
| Reaper | sfire, do you know a Player that has a white-skin-color that is gnome look alike? | 17:33 |

| rik_ | I don't want to write hundreds of code lines.. only to edit a picture for example | 17:33 |
| rik_ | ore edit a movie | 17:33 |
| Dr_Willis_ | rik_, depends on what programs you want to use. | 17:33 |
| jokoon | linux is a thing that will always work | 17:33 |
| firecat09 | bye | 17:33 |
| grte | rik_: That's a pretty ridiculous idea for any platform. | 17:33 |
| Dr_Willis_ | rik_, i dont write code much at all. and Linux does what i need. | 17:33 |
| sfire | Reaper: not right off hand.. I would try some of the others they have suggested | 17:33 |
| Dr_Willis_ | rik_, it all boils down to how you do your work. | 17:33 |
| Reaper | Alright, thanks sfire. | 17:34 |
| rik_ | Maya, Premiere, Photoshop | 17:34 |
| rik_ | Zbrush | 17:34 |
| Dr_Willis_ | rik_, if you MUST use those apps. then use an OS that supports them well. | 17:34 |
| doubled | "It supports a wider range of hardware than the !LiveCD" what do they mean with this ? do they main i can install it on more systems without problems because its text-based. or is more hardware supported once i've installed it ? | 17:34 |

| DarkRainbow | I just get "Operating system not found" | 17:34 |
| rik_ | Dr_Willis... indeed, that's why I use Windows and OS X :) | 17:35 |
| sfire | DarkRainbow: you have to go into BIOS and change the boot order usually | 17:35 |
| Centaur5 | It used to be that you could manually set resolution in xorg.conf but where is that done in Hardy now? | 17:35 |
| rampageoberon | DarkRainbow: you need to change the boot sequence in the BIOS settings | 17:35 |
| aruiz | have anyone had problems creating a /etc/init.d/ script and ubuntu ignoring it on reboot | 17:35 |
| aruiz | ? | 17:35 |
| DarkRainbow | I cant get BIOS up? | 17:35 |
| Dr_Willis_ | rik_, do what you want then. I will stick with Linux because i aint paying more for software then i did for the hardware. | 17:35 |
| rik_ | ok | 17:35 |
| jessica | !aptfix | 17:35 |
| ubottu | If an APT front-end crashed and your database is locked, try this in a !terminal: « sudo fuser -vki /var/lib/dpkg/lock;sudo dpkg --configure -a » | 17:35 |
| DarkRainbow | When i turn off computer(pwoer button), and turns on, it wont reboot | 17:35 |
| doubled | A question towards the alternate version of the unbuntu cd: "It supports a wider range of hardware than the !LiveCD" what do they mean with this ? do they main i can install it on more systems without problems because its text-based. or is more hardware supported once i've installed it ? | 17:35 |
| rampageoberon | aruiz: no, i've managed it fine | 17:35 |
| sipior | aruiz: are the exectue permission bits set? | 17:35 |
| Dr_Willis_ | rik_, linux is all about letting you do what you want. Not forceing you to do things the 'copanies' way. | 17:35 |
| kakoonia | bahh.. how can i resize my drive without it inflicting my current data? should i run a desktop cd and do it from there? | 17:36 |
| sfire | DarkRainbow: usually F1, or F2, or delete to get into BIOS | 17:36 |
| aruiz | sipior: yes | 17:36 |

| tizbac | how i can solve it? | 17:36 |
| kitche | Uplink: uninstall flash really to fix it | 17:36 |
| aruiz | sipior: the problem is that the operation has some delay, and it seems to halt before the operation is done | 17:36 |
| sipior | aruiz: and you have a symbolic link pointing to the script from /etc/rc2.d/...? | 17:36 |
| Dr_Willis_ | rik_, let me state for the record that on my New laptop.. Linux works better on it then Vista does. :) | 17:36 |
| Reaper | xmms* | 17:36 |
| aruiz | sipior: yes, I used update-rc.d | 17:36 |
| sfire | Reaper: as they said earlier.. they removed XMMS from the current releases | 17:36 |
| Uplink | kitche, then I will have no flash lol | 17:36 |

| Reaper | Alright. | 17:36 |

| Reaper | Dr_Willis_ : I want a player with a nice gnome skin or such ;) | 17:37 |
| sfire | DarkRainbow: the reason that siemens splash screen only shows up once is that it only does it on a cold start | 17:37 |
| Reaper | that can play mp3....and blah. | 17:37 |
| ads_ | Dr_Willis_: i created another user and its unable to login to gnome | 17:37 |

| tt | Cheers ! ;) | 17:38 |
| DarkRainbow | sfire: When i poweroff, the effect is the same as if i should just have closed the laptop | 17:38 |
| sfire | DarkRainbow: you need to turn the system all the way off (holding the power button for approx 10 second) then turn the machine on while pressing the delete key.. if that doesn't work try F1, F2, ect | 17:38 |
| _moro_bana_ | i have a system which is wrecked at the moment, cant use apt, aptitude , i would like to fix that by intalling on the \ , will that delete the applications i have? | 17:38 |
| kitche | Uplink: swfdec-plugin and gnash is alternatives they seem stable well swfdec-plugin does anyways | 17:38 |
| sipior | aruiz: it echoes every line along with the result. handy for debugging. | 17:38 |
| Pici | rik_: I've always seen Windows and Linux binaries, but the folks in #blender would know better. | 17:38 |
| doubled | Dr_Willis_: so it doesnt mean it has more drivers for your hardware once its installed ? | 17:38 |
| Dr_Willis_ | doubled, the live cd has to be smart to auto configure stuff on the fly and taht can take a lot of work. the full install can have more drivers/stuff I guess. :) | 17:38 |
| Dr_Willis_ | doubled, once installed the 2 are identical | 17:38 |
| DarkRainbow | Ok | 17:38 |
| Uplink | kitche, i'll look it up thanx | 17:38 |
| DarkRainbow | Sfire: thx ok | 17:38 |
| aruiz | sipior: where should I put that option? | 17:38 |
| sfire | np | 17:38 |
| rik_ | oke | 17:38 |

| tizbac | Hi,i have a serious problem with my nvidia geforce 7000M:when rendering to Framebuffer Objects it goes at 1 FPS | 17:38 |
| notBackground | why is there an update for 2.6.24.19 when I already uploaded to that a while ago? And for that matter why is my background broken? I can't put a wallpaper on it | 17:38 |
| Dr_Willis_ | ads_, thats very very weird. | 17:39 |
| sipior | aruiz: instead of "#!/bin/bash", try "#!/bin/bash -x" | 17:39 |
| aruiz | sipior: thanks | 17:39 |
| ads_ | Dr_Willis_: i did create the user by "useradd username" | 17:39 |
| DarkRainbow | now linux livecd is booting:D | 17:39 |
| === smax is now known as sneerzi | ||
| === sneerzi is now known as sneerzik | ||
| Dr_Willis_ | ads_, that user should be using the default gnome settings.. You could try that 'failsafe' item in the session menus, and run 'gnome-session' and look for any error messages that may show up. | 17:40 |
| sfire | DarkRainbow: thats the hardest part of the whole install :) | 17:40 |
| === sneerzik is now known as sneerzik4eg | ||
| EvilDennisR | aruiz: Why are you using /bin/bash instead of sh ? | 17:40 |
| Dr_Willis_ | ads_, also try running some non-gnome apps, and gnome apps to see if all are affected with the font issue (again, from that failsafe session) | 17:40 |
| aruiz | EvilDennisR: I'm using sh anyway | 17:40 |
| Pici | notBackground: Because you are upgrading from 2.6.24-19.33 to 2.6.24-19.34 | 17:40 |
| rik_ | anyone know if cocoa apps can run in Linux? | 17:40 |
| glitsj16 | notBackground: the upgrade is probably the result of you having hardy-proposed activated in software sources, that won't change your grub though .. | 17:40 |
| EvilDennisR | aruiz: what was the issue you were having ? | 17:41 |
| rik_ | could be cool... to use Final Cut Pro in linux | 17:41 |
| rik_ | but not very beneficial :P | 17:41 |
| Dr_Willis_ | rik_, at one time the 'gnustep' guys were sort of working on somthing like that.. but it was not a 'lets you run mac apps' sort of thing | 17:41 |
| sfire | rik_: vmware | 17:41 |
| kitche | aruiz: well /bin/sh is dash which might be your issue unless you changed the symlink of it | 17:41 |
| Uplink | kitche, i cant find that plug-in | 17:41 |
| rik_ | ok | 17:41 |
| aruiz | kitche: I'm using sh | 17:41 |
| doubled | Dr_Willis_: would you rather recommend the amd64 release or the i386 release. someone else told me it might be best to do the i386 because not all drivers are 64 bit yet. | 17:41 |
| Dr_Willis_ | !dash | 17:42 |
| ubottu | /bin/sh links to the DASH shell in all releases since Ubuntu Edgy (6.10). Since DASH is not 100% compatible with the BASH shell, some scripts might break. You can make scripts execute using BASH by changing the first line of the script to « #! /bin/bash | 17:42 |
| EvilDennisR | aruiz: Yes, but sh is a symlink to dash | 17:42 |
| notBackground | what about the wallpaper issue? | 17:42 |
| Dr_Willis_ | doubled, i never use the 64bit releases.. no real need for most people to use 64bit. | 17:42 |
| sfire | however I use 64bit and everything "just works" | 17:42 |
| doubled | Dr_Willis_: the vmware player in 7.10 asked for 64bits | 17:42 |
| notBackground | (note: I can't right click my desktop anymore to access stuff like the appearances menus) | 17:42 |
| wamty | whats the actual command to do python-sqlobject package install | 17:42 |
| Dr_Willis_ | That dash factoid is a tad missleading.. it makes it seem like its dash's fault.. :) when its bash that has the 'issues' :) | 17:42 |
| matthias_N | hi. how can i check the helth of my system, i suspect that i am having an memory leak some where but i do not know where to start ... free -m is one but something beter ... | 17:43 |
| Dr_Willis_ | doubled, Hmm.. i ran vmware in 32bit just fine over the last few years.. | 17:43 |
| DarkRainbow | I booted the computer into LiveCD, and the ubuntu loader showed up. But now there is only a black screen, with a white litte line blinking | 17:43 |
| Odd-rationale | is it normal that the calendar applet only shows appointments from evolution's local calendar? | 17:43 |
| EvilDennisR | Dr_Willis_: Yeah, I remember the discussions on changing from bash to dash, but I don't remember /why/ the change came about | 17:43 |
| wamty | whats the actual command to do python-sqlobject package install | 17:43 |
| erUSUL | Dr_Willis_: is the script which is not posix compliant as use bashisms so imho the blame is on the script XD | 17:43 |
| Dr_Willis_ | sfire, yep. its getting closeer and closer to a state where its going to be common in a year i bet. :) | 17:43 |
| sfire | DarkRainbow: give it just a minute.. those CD-Roms are slow | 17:43 |
| EvilDennisR | Dr_Willis_: something about dash using less resources maybe? | 17:43 |
| _moro_bana_ | wil installing on the root path "\" remove all the apps that are installed? | 17:43 |
| Centaur5 | My laptop can do 1024x768 but it doesn't give that option under the Screen Resolution settings and I don't see it in xorg.conf. Where do you manually configure resolution? | 17:43 |
| erUSUL | EvilDennisR: boot speed was the primary and only reason | 17:43 |
| Xcaliber009 | DarkRainbow: Sounds like a bad burn of the ISO | 17:44 |
| Dr_Willis_ | erUSUL, i blame bash for not flagging an ERROR or warning when someone uses a bashim, when bash is called as 'sh' | 17:44 |
| doubled | Dr_Willis_: hmm ok, i might ask you for help on that later then :) downloading the hard-desktop-i386.iso now | 17:44 |

| GhostFish2 | Command to reinstall compiz ? | 17:44 |
| Twili | I need help | 17:44 |
| EvilDennisR | erUSUL: Yeah, thats what I kinda remember.. I only briefly scanned through one of the doc pages about it | 17:44 |
| Dr_Willis_ | erUSUL, but im the kind of guy that also uses the strict stuff when i code in perl. :) | 17:44 |
| DarkRainbow | There | 17:44 |
| EvilDennisR | Twili: we all need a little help | 17:44 |
| DarkRainbow | Its loading | 17:44 |
| DarkRainbow | Sfire: Thx | 17:44 |
| wamty | python2.4 setup.py install | 17:44 |
| Xcaliber009 | GhostFish2: use the sudo apt-get install/remove compiz | 17:44 |
| wamty | Correct? | 17:44 |
| wamty | Correct? | 17:44 |
| _moro_bana_ | GhostFish2: purge then use the usual command | 17:44 |
| FloodBot1 | wamty: Please don't flood, use http://paste.ubuntu.com to paste, don't use Enter as punctuation. | 17:44 |
| Twili | There is a file that i need to edit. but when I click save it says I don't have privalages (aka I'm not logged in as root) | 17:45 |
| Xcaliber009 | GhostFish2: might be under compiz-fusion | 17:45 |
| wamty | how to install that plz? | 17:45 |
| erUSUL | Twili: gksudo gedit path/to/file | 17:45 |
| Pici | wamty: Install what? | 17:45 |
| EvilDennisR | Dr_Willis_: I try to use strict with perl, but then I find myself just doing $foo = whatever and forgetting 'my' infront of it.. | 17:45 |
| krim | I just downloaded two deb packages (OpenTyrian) and installed by double clicking but where is the game now? I'd like to have a shortcut to it in the menu. | 17:46 |
| Dr_Willis_ | EvilDennisR, yep. i feel the whole bash vs dash thing is due to people just not paying attetion to the fact taht sh is not the same as bash. :) and bash letting them learn bad habbits. | 17:46 |
| Twili | erUSUL: Thank you very much | 17:46 |
| Pici | wamty: If you're asking about python-sqlobject still, it would be: sudo apt-get install python-sqlobject | 17:46 |

| co___ndut___yk | no | 18:33 |
| bluelaguna_ | wols_: No, my apt is fine. I just installed ncftp to test. | 18:34 |
| ziggy | yes, if it is possible | 18:34 |
| bluelaguna_ | wols_: Please just tell me the name of the package and I'll be on my way | 18:34 |
| Moes | wols but Ubuntuzilla downloads and installs | 18:34 |
| ASULutzy | ziggy: KDE4 or KDE3.5? | 18:34 |

| ziggy | thanks Asultzy | 18:34 |

| kitche | incorrect: no longer being developed use epic4 instead if you want something like bitchx | 18:34 |

| Ienorand | ubun00blet: you can do a complete basic-manual connection using this guide: http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=571188 | 18:35 |
| Gohanx | wols in english that means? | 18:35 |
| bluelaguna_ | ziggy: KDE4 should still be considered beta software though | 18:35 |
| ASULutzy | ziggy: On OpenSuse11 I have both Gnome and KDE4 installed, so it is certainly possible to setup both KDE and Gnome simultaneously on the same install | 18:35 |

| bluelaguna_ | ziggy: Personally, I'd stick with whatever you have now, but if you're curious, go ahead | 18:35 |

| lunchbox330 | anyone else have problems browsing people who use official soulseek in nicotine+ or is it just me | 18:37 |
| ziggy | theFATMAN...one suggestion bro...is it as powerfull as ubuntu...coz I heard a lot about ubuntu on the internet but i think its just the desktop which is different | 18:38 |
| ASULutzy | With that said, KDE4 needs another month or so at least till I'd consider it like production level, though it was fun to play with | 18:38 |
| lunchbox330 | i have never successfully browsed the shares of a windows user friend. is this a bug or feature? | 18:38 |

| theFATMAN | ASULutzy: because they share the same repos, everything is available to the user then, all gnome apps that bwere installed as well as for kde, so it actually causes some instability-that was my experience, which is not unique | 18:39 |
| ASULutzy | ziggy: Kubuntu is just Ubuntu with KDE as its desktop manager instead of Gnome. There's really no fundamental difference, and if you wanted to you could install KDE apps inside of Gnome (amarok for example is a KDE app that I'd be willing to bet 80% of this channel has installed even though they're using Gnome, not KDE) There's nothing stopping you from using KDE apps inside of Gnome or vice versa | 18:39 |
| theFATMAN | ziggy: kubuntu is ubuntu, the developers just chose to go with kde as opposed to gnome | 18:39 |

| lunchbox330 | anyone use nicotine besides me? | 18:41 |
| theFATMAN | but there is a lot of difference between the two- if you are new to ubuntu or linux, it would be good to use gnome for a while, then try out kubuntu as a fresh install-its easier | 18:41 |

| kewlmunky | because when I normally tried to install it it wouldn't work | 19:19 |
| DRebellion | Randy1, this probably means the disc image is corrupted. | 19:19 |

| ubottu | kewlmunky: Please try to keep your questions/responses on one line - don't use the "Enter" key as punctuation! | 19:19 |

| Sarge_TJ | hello, I'm having a bit of an odd "problem". I'm using a laptop with a 37.5 GB hard disk. I have always been partitioning it like this: 23.7 GB for Windows and about 14 GB for any linux I feel like using at the time. So, when I installed 8.04 on my laptop, the Linux partition became 28.3 GB, and my Windows partition is still the same 23.7 GB! 28.3 + 23.7 = 52 GB of total hard disk space!! So now I'm asking; is this some kind of a known bug, or what? | 19:25 |
| danielm_mc | yeah, i got that from the xinerama wiki - however, i'm not entirely sure that everything is working properly. this vtbook looks to be initialized but even getting it to come up as two desktops doesn't work | 19:25 |

| esac | i ran an e2fsck on the partition and that didnt fix it | 19:28 |
| danza | esac, what du -h gives to you? | 19:29 |
| danza | the sum is still 14GB? | 19:29 |
| kewlmunky | I'm trying to get ubuntu installed. When I first tried to install it it wouldn't pick up any partitions to install on. So I went to the run without making changes option and tried to install it from the desktop. When I get to the partition step (step 4/7) ubuntu doesn't list any partitions on my hard drive. I've ran some commands and it can detect that my hard drive is at 3gbps, but it doesn't want to read it for some reason. | 19:30 |
| ASULutzy | kewlmunky: You still didn't type what I asked you to | 19:30 |
| kewlmunky | yes I did | 19:30 |
| ASULutzy | kewlmunky: sudo fdisk -l (that's a lowercase L) | 19:30 |
| kewlmunky | and I pasted it and you didn't answer >_> | 19:30 |
| abe3k | DRebellion : sorry to bother but when I'm partitioning the usb drive this is the error I get "FAT 1 media 0 doesn't match the boot sector's media f8. You should probably run scandisk. | 19:30 |
| abe3k | The file system is bigger than its volume!" | 19:30 |

| ASULutzy | kewlmunky: See how I'm typing your name before I give something. You should do that ie, ASULutzy: your response | 19:31 |
| kewlmunky | asulutzy: all it did was prompt me for another command | 19:31 |

| kewlmunky | asulutzy, yet | 19:32 |
| ASULutzy | kewlmunky: sudo fdisk -l just copy paste that exact line | 19:32 |

| bosco | i have 8gig san disk flash drives for sale 3$ shipping 25$ for the flash drive 4 gig same shipping but 18$ | 19:33 |
| kewlmunky | asulutzy: there is no output, it just prompts me for another command | 19:33 |
| DRebellion | abe3k, perhaps it's part of gparted. Run: man scandisk | 19:33 |
| bosco | i have 8gig san disk flash drives for sale 3$ shipping 25$ for the flash drive 4 gig same shipping but 18$ | 19:33 |
| abe3k | DRebellion : yeah the command doesn't exist | 19:34 |
| ASULutzy | kewlmunky: Do you have a hard drive? | 19:34 |
| DRebellion | abe3k, you could try using fdisk instead | 19:34 |
| danza | esac, Maybe the partition was in use ... maybe unmounting and mounting it again can fix | 19:34 |
| ASULutzy | kewlmunky: Because apparently the live-cd doesn't think you do | 19:34 |
| kewlmunky | asulutzy: yes, I already have vista on my first, and my programs and other things ont he first | 19:34 |

| joaopinto | abe3k, or use cfdisk, which is a bit more friendly | 19:35 |
| bosco | ok lol just thought i would throw that out there | 19:35 |
| bosco | lol | 19:35 |
| danza | esac, what fdisk says? | 19:35 |
| ASULutzy | kewlmunky: Well, if you are typing sudo fdisk -l and not getting any output, then your live-cd doesn't actually see any hard drives. So either your live-cd is really messed up, or you've got some sort of weird configuration issue. You are booting off the cd and not using Wubi correct? | 19:35 |
| brianherman | does this dd if=/dev/cdrom of=/home/brianherman/cdrom_image.iso rip dvds? | 19:36 |
| anne_ | Why is it that the network monitor applet manages to show the correct wireless signal strength, while nm-applet does not? | 19:36 |
| joaopinto | brianherman, no idea, try it yourself :) | 19:36 |
| nspryspartan | hey can someone help with a PS2 emulator? | 19:36 |
| esac | danza: checking, im booting back into live cd so i can run e2fsck again | 19:36 |
| Exteris | brianherman, yes | 19:36 |
| nspryspartan | for Ubuntu? | 19:36 |
| brianherman | joaopinto: its workgin | 19:36 |
| ASULutzy | brianherman: I think you might need to set an option to iso in there, but yea, that would give you a raw .iso | 19:36 |
| brianherman | extris:OK COOL | 19:36 |
| brianherman | thanks UBUNTU CHANNEL | 19:36 |
| joaopinto | nspryspartan, what is your specific problem ? | 19:36 |
| kewlmunky | asulutzy: I just booted off of the live CD | 19:36 |
| brianherman | I will give free love for everybody | 19:36 |
| Exteris | brianherman, in order to rip it to avi however, you need somethin else | 19:37 |
| nspryspartan | i want one.lol | 19:37 |
| Exteris | i'll have one too please | 19:37 |
| Exteris | and a beer! :D | 19:37 |
| nspryspartan | like if there is one for Ubuntu? | 19:37 |
| DRebellion | brianherman, wow, I never realised you could write to /dev/cdrom... | 19:37 |
| ASULutzy | kewlmunky: Sorry, I don't know what to do if the live-cd doesn't see any of your partitions... Did you verify the disk's integrity from the boot menu? | 19:37 |
| Exteris | nspryspartan, you could use a virtual machine to do that | 19:38 |
| kewlmunky | asulutzy: what's that mean? | 19:38 |
| DRebellion | brianherman, seems logical though. Good old linux magic ;) | 19:38 |
| Exteris | it won't be very efficient though | 19:38 |
| joaopinto | nspryspartan, http://www.getdeb.net/app/PCSX2 | 19:38 |
| Frogzoo | DRebellion: indeed, you can cat an iso straight to cd | 19:38 |
| magnetron | QUESTION: what's a good hex editor from the ubuntu repos? | 19:38 |
| ASULutzy | kewlmunky: There's an option when you boot from the live-cd that says like, check CD for defects | 19:38 |
| marnanel | what is the difference between the php-mode and php-elisp packages? | 19:38 |
| DRebellion | magnetron, hexedit | 19:38 |
| Frogzoo | magnetron: emacs? | 19:38 |
| magnetron | DRebellion: kthx | 19:38 |
| kewlmunky | asulutzy: first time I tried to install ubuntu I tried that and then it tried to install | 19:38 |
| ASULutzy | kewlmunky: Though I doubt that's the issue, there's like a 1/100 chance that maybe that's the problem... Maybe someone else can be of more assistance | 19:38 |
| magnetron | Frogzoo: no thx :D | 19:38 |
| brianherman | yay IT FINNISHED! | 19:38 |
| DRebellion | Frogzoo, no, that's an operating system... gosh! | 19:38 |
| ASULutzy | kewlmunky: What option are you choosing to boot from the live-cd? | 19:39 |
| brianherman | NOW I CAN LOOK AT the movie THE SECRETARY ON LINUX! | 19:39 |
| nspryspartan | thank you Joapinot. | 19:39 |
| joaopinto | !caps | brianherman | 19:39 |
| ubottu | brianherman: PLEASE DON'T SHOUT! We can read lowercase too. | 19:39 |
| magnetron | DRebellion: did you hear about that Linux/emacs distro released? | 19:39 |
| kewlmunky | asulutzy: run ubuntu without making changes to your hard drive | 19:39 |
| DRebellion | magnetron, nope | 19:39 |
| joaopinto | !iso | brianherman | 19:39 |
| ubottu | brianherman: To mount an ISO disc image, type « sudo mount -o loop <ISO-filename> <mountpoint> » - There is a list of useful cd image conversion tools at http://wiki.linuxquestions.org/wiki/CD_Image_Conversion - Always verify the ISO using !MD5 before !burning. | 19:39 |
| ASULutzy | kewlmunky: ...And you want it to install... without making any changes to your hard drive? | 19:39 |
| Nostahl | hi everyone i am installing ubuntu and its been at configuring hardware 93 percent for over 10 minutes mouse still moves though any idea's? | 19:39 |
| magnetron | DRebellion: no GNU tools, it will just boot you straigth into emacs | 19:39 |
| marnanel | brianherman: One recompilation, two apt-gets, and as much ifconfigs as you like. | 19:40 |
| kewlmunky | asulutzy: no, I only did that option so I could try and install it from the desktop because it wasn't working normally | 19:40 |
| DRebellion | magnetron, hehe, nice | 19:40 |
| ASULutzy | kewlmunky: Just pick the Install option, and then we/I can probably be more help | 19:40 |
| DRebellion | Nostahl, patience | 19:40 |
| marnanel | Are php-mode and php-elisp just two ways of getting Emacs to syntax-highlight PHP files? | 19:40 |
| yay1 | red-lichtie, are you still in here? | 19:40 |
| vampirefrog | hi. I burned the ubuntu CD iso to a dvd, and the computer boots it but whichever option I choose from the menu, it gets stuck at the shell thingy | 19:41 |
| Nostahl | DRebellion: you think its doin ok? | 19:41 |
| DRebellion | marnanel, perhaps ask in #emacs for the experts | 19:41 |
| vampirefrog | the prompt is (initramfs) | 19:41 |
| DRebellion | Nostahl, 10 minutes isn't that bad | 19:41 |
| esac | danza: fdisk says 7815591 blocks, no idea what that is | 19:41 |
| marnanel | DRebellion: cheers | 19:41 |
| brianherman | fdisk rocks | 19:41 |
| DRebellion | vampirefrog, busybox? That means for some reason it failed to boot. | 19:41 |
| Frogzoo | marnanel: well php-mode sounds right | 19:41 |
| wols_ | bosco: Sun is a NASDAQ listed company | 19:41 |
| btice | Can Ubuntu be set up to not require a password on login? I'm thinking something like the way a Knoppix CD boots right to a desktop. | 19:41 |
| vampirefrog | DRebellion, i guess so. what to do? | 19:41 |
| DRebellion | btice, or the livecd for that matter | 19:42 |
| ASULutzy | vampirefrog: It failed to boot. what happens if you choose the "Check CD for defects" option? | 19:42 |
| kewlmunky | asulutzy: when I try and normally install it, I end up getting to a partition menu, and it has like 5 options, the first is help with partitioning, second and third are blank, 4th is under partition changes, and the fifth is continue and it won't let me continue | 19:42 |
| yay1 | would anyone else please help me make my sony vgc-ls25e integrated motion eye camera work on cheese? | 19:42 |
| wols_ | vampirefrog: what harddisk controller do you have? | 19:42 |
| yay1 | or other program | 19:42 |
| DRebellion | vampirefrog, as ASULutzy said, check for defects on the cd and the iso image. | 19:42 |
| joaopinto | btice, yes, you can set it up to autologin, doing it on a livecd is a different story | 19:42 |
| vtrbender | marnanel: elisp is the name of the programming language used for the *-mode files | 19:42 |
| vampirefrog | ASULutzy, I'll have to see. but I just burned the dvd | 19:42 |
| marnanel | vtrbender: I know this, thanks | 19:42 |
| adante | hi, can someone tell me what to install to get the System -> Preferences -> Themes option? | 19:42 |
| wols_ | yay1: google for a driver of the camera chip | 19:42 |
| vampirefrog | wols_, dunno, how do I check? I'm in winXP now | 19:42 |
| btice | joaopinto: Can you point me to instrux? | 19:42 |
| marnanel | apt-cache on both of them appears to show that they provide php-mode | 19:42 |
| wols_ | vampirefrog: device manager | 19:42 |
| yay1 | i did wols, matter fact red-lichtie helped me with that | 19:43 |
| wols_ | vampirefrog: for specifics ask a windows channel | 19:43 |
| joaopinto | btice, for a real installation auto-login ? | 19:43 |
| wols_ | yay1: so does a drivre exist? | 19:43 |
| yay1 | yes | 19:43 |
| ASULutzy | kewlmunky: Well, you need to setup new partitions to install Ubuntu to before you can continue? You need to at the bare minimum assign "/" to an ext3 partition. (You'll almost definitely want a swap partition as well, and some people are big fans of putting /home on a separate partition, but I never bother with that ;)) | 19:43 |
| vampirefrog | wols_, via busmaster ide controller? is that it? | 19:43 |
| vampirefrog | bust master :D | 19:43 |
| Gallez | hi all | 19:43 |
| marnanel | thanks | 19:43 |
| mortal1 | has anyone here had the problem of azureus not starting correctly (this is direct from azureus, and java from sun.java.com) | 19:43 |
| Gallez | if i put some avi films on a dvd in ubuntu (brasero) | 19:44 |
| wols_ | vampirefrog: your ubuntu CD shows you an error before you get the prompt. what is it? | 19:44 |
| Gallez | will i be able to read the dvd under windows? | 19:44 |
| kewlmunky | azulutzy: I redid my hard drive and made 4 partitions, 1st for vista, 2nd for programs and things I wanted to use on vista, 3rd for linux, and 4th for swapping | 19:44 |
| DRebellion | mortal1, define "correctly" | 19:44 |
| wols_ | mortal1: ask azureus or sun then, not us: it's their software | 19:44 |
| vampirefrog | wols_, err it doesn't actually | 19:44 |
| DRebellion | Gallez, yep | 19:44 |
| vampirefrog | iirc | 19:44 |
| ceceboy | can someone help me with a sound problem? I'm getting sound with Songbird, but not with Amarok or Mplayer | 19:44 |
| vampirefrog | let me just boot it again, brb | 19:44 |
| joaopinto | mortal1, you should have no need to install java from java.sun.com, you should install the one available from the repositories | 19:44 |
| DRebellion | Gallez, it's a standart encoding | 19:44 |
| DRebellion | standard* | 19:44 |
| wols_ | vampirefrog: I doN't believe you | 19:44 |
| ASULutzy | kewlmunky: Well then you just need to tell the install manager to use the third partition for root ie "/" | 19:44 |
| Gallez | DRebellion: so there won't be any problems with compatibility under xp? | 19:44 |
| whik | to change channels its /join ubuntu-offtopic right? | 19:44 |
| vampirefrog | wols_, I'll have another look mate. be right back | 19:44 |
| DRebellion | Gallez, nope | 19:44 |
| Pici | whik: /join #ubuntu-offtopic | 19:44 |
| btice | joaopinto: Yes, for a real instillation auto-login. | 19:45 |
| whik | ah i forgot the # | 19:45 |
| wols_ | whik: you join an additional channel then. not switch | 19:45 |
| whik | thank you | 19:45 |
| Gallez | ok thx | 19:45 |
| ASULutzy | kewlmunky: And the rest should work, given that you've correctly setup the third partition as type ext3 (or ext2 if for some reason that's what you want), did you use the built in partition editor on the install cd to repartition or some other tool? | 19:45 |
| joaopinto | btice, System -> Administration -> Login Window | 19:45 |
| joaopinto | btice, Security tab | 19:45 |
| mortal1 | joaopinto, eh azureus and java from the repositories is not stable in my experience | 19:45 |
| mortal1 | I am a big believer in the 'one true java' | 19:46 |
| joaopinto | mortal, it is stable in my experience, using the jre, which is the sun java | 19:46 |
| ceceboy | can someone help me with a sound problem? I'm getting sound with Songbird, but not with Amarok or Mplayer | 19:46 |
| yay1 | ive read some postings on my motion eye camera, and alot of it talked about incompatibilities | 19:46 |
| mortal1 | reason i was wondering if it was a ubuntu problem is I've had graphical issues with java programs before, but that was trying to use it with extensions | 19:46 |
| ASULutzy | Real pros use rTorrent, not azureus ;) | 19:46 |
| fooks | why isn't xmms in the hardy repos? | 19:46 |
| kewlmunky | asulutzy: I booted up windows vista couple days ago, and made my 4 partitions, I have vista on the 1st, programs and things that I use with vista ont he 2nd, the 3rd is meant for linux, and the 4th is for swapping | 19:46 |
| joaopinto | mortal1, and make sure you are launching azureus with the "true" java, not the first one found by the azureus launcher script :P | 19:46 |
| btice | joaopinto: Ah, silly me. Didn't even think to look there, as I assumed that, with a password required, there wouldn't be a way around entering it. | 19:46 |
| yay1 | am i understanding it right? | 19:47 |
| btice | joaopinto: Thanks! | 19:47 |
| ninix | hi, with php5-cli, is the /usr/share/php5/php.ini file (extensions) is loaded? | 19:47 |
| DRebellion | ASULutzy, I tried rtorrent. The user interface was an epic fail, so I gave up and went back to Deluge. :) | 19:47 |
| dtrix | when i installed ubuntu .. i unhooked my other drives.. is there a way to get grub to find them ? | 19:47 |
| DK_II | I currently have the nvidia-glx-new driver installed would it make a difference if I were to install the nvidia-glx-new-envy package with a GeForce 7800 GS or is it not worth it? | 19:47 |
| Pici | !xmms | fooks | 19:47 |
| ubottu | fooks: xmms is no longer being developed, see http://bugs.debian.org/461309 for more details. Concider using audacious instead. | 19:47 |
| ceceboy | ninix: easiest way to check is doing a phpinfo() i guess | 19:47 |
| joaopinto | ninix, not sure if that is the correct path, but yes, php.ini is checked from the php5-cli | 19:47 |
| ceceboy | noone able to help with a sound problem here? :( | 19:48 |
| wols_ | dtrix: since you unhooked them: no. and doing it was a very stupid idea. you want to install ubuntu with all hdds present as will be in the future | 19:48 |
| fooks | Pici, i know its stopped being developed, but audacious is lame! | 19:48 |
| vampirefrog | back | 19:48 |
| red-lichtie | yay1: sorry mate, I don't know how to help you further, I don't have your type of PC or that camera, but I hope that I helped you on your way | 19:48 |
| Brianetta | I'm using my wife's Kubuntu box, but I am a Gnome user. How can I get gpg to use the GTK pinentry instead of the QT one, without breaking my wife's KDE? | 19:48 |
| ASULutzy | kewlmunky: So you generated the 4 partitions from within Windows. Given that you've actually done this correctly (the third must be ext2 or ext3) then all you should have to do is pop in the live-cd, and when you get to the part about partitions you will need to tell it to put the filesystem root, aka "/" on partition 3 (will probably be called /dev/sda3 or /dev/hda3 or something similar) | 19:48 |
| Pici | fooks: Well, xmms has been dropped from debian and then from Ubuntu too. | 19:48 |
| wols_ | ceceboy: not if you don't tell us errors | 19:48 |
| Luhta | wols_, there has to be a way to fix it after the fact | 19:48 |
| vampirefrog | wols_, ok here's what I did. I booted the dvd again, chose 'check cd for defects' option then got the ash shell again | 19:48 |
| wols_ | Luhta: good luck finding someone who will do it for you | 19:48 |
| fooks | Pici, guess i just have to get it through other means | 19:48 |
| vampirefrog | the shell is on vt 8, and on vt 1 it says "Loading please wait..." | 19:48 |
| Pici | fooks: Indeed. | 19:48 |
| vampirefrog | wols_, then I pressed CTRL+D and it said | 19:49 |
| dtrix | so your telling me there is no possible way for grub to find my other hdd's, without reinstalling | 19:49 |
| Luhta | wols_, they don't have to do it for us just point us in the right direction | 19:49 |
| vampirefrog | some i/o error on /dev/sr0 | 19:49 |
| ceceboy | wols_: there aren't any errors, it simply doesn't play sound, but it does in Songbird | 19:49 |
| wols_ | fooks: you _could_ install it from snapshots.debian.net | 19:49 |
| devil | how can i get know from terminal if my modem is recogniged ? | 19:49 |
| ASULutzy | DRebellion: Yea, rTorrent takes some getting used to, but the fact that it's a command line torrent program makes it supremely useful for someone like me who works 50 hours a week and doesn't want to steal company bandwidth but would still like to manage downloads to his home machine from work via SSH | 19:49 |
| ceceboy | while not in amarok or mplayer | 19:49 |
| vampirefrog | wols_, then press any key to reboot | 19:49 |
| vampirefrog | and I pressed any key :) | 19:49 |
| wols_ | ceceboy: just cause you see no errors doesn't mean there are none | 19:49 |
| wols_ | devil: what kind of modem? | 19:49 |
| abe3k | DRebellion : I'm trying dosfsck -a -w -v /dev/sdd1 and I think it'll fix the problem | 19:49 |
| ASULutzy | DRebellion: wget + rTorrent = win ;) | 19:49 |
| ceceboy | wols_: mplayer doesn't throw any errors from commandline | 19:49 |
| abe3k | DRebellion : I'll inform you | 19:49 |
| wols_ | vampirefrog: check md5sum of the CD for bad burn/download | 19:50 |
| DRebellion | abe3k, kewl | 19:50 |
| devil | modem in my laptop dell inspiron E1405 | 19:50 |
| wols_ | ceceboy: it tells you if it can't output audio | 19:50 |
| kewlmunky | asulutzy: I'm currently running on the live cd and am at the partitions part, but I can't select any partitions | 19:50 |
| dtrix | so there is no way for grub to find my other drives since i installed it without them hooked up.. at all | 19:50 |
| ceceboy | wols_: but apparently it thinks it does | 19:50 |
| ceceboy | lol | 19:50 |
| vampirefrog | wols_, hm.. what if it's looking for its root filesystem in the wrong place? it's trying to access a cdrom, but it's a dvd drive... can I specify the root device? | 19:50 |
| joaopinto | kewlmunky, you need to shrink your windows partition to get some free space | 19:50 |
| DRebellion | ASULutzy, I've been looking for a command line torrent program, and none of them seem to have much in the way of features and options. | 19:51 |
| wols_ | ceceboy: output please. full output | 19:51 |

| Luhta | dtrix, wols_ wasn't there a grub-update command, would that be useful in dtrix's situation? | 19:51 |
| wols_ | dtrix: there is. grub-install | 19:51 |
| kewlmunky | joaopinto: I have 50GB for vista, 90GB for programs and stuff on it, 90GB for linux and everythign I'll use on it, and about 521mb for swapping | 19:51 |
| Anarhist | where is the info about the most recently opened files saved, you know the stuff that comes from the top menu panel "Places -> Recently Opened Files" | 19:51 |
| ASULutzy | kewlmunky: I guess take a screenshot and upload it to like photobucket and paste the link here, because I don't really get the issue. Are you saying that it doesn't detect any partitions? (And did you reboot and choose "Install" instead of try Ubuntu with no changes to your hard drive) | 19:51 |
| ninix | is there a php5-dbase package somewhere ? | 19:51 |
| dtrix | wols_ alright thanks . i figured there was a way .. just didnt know how about it | 19:51 |
| joaopinto | kewlmunky, are those 90GB for linux already on an ext3 partition ? | 19:52 |
| ASULutzy | kewlmunky: Reboot and choose install before doing anything else | 19:52 |

| DRebellion | abe3k, perhaps there is an option to force fixing? It recognizes the problem, right? Make sure it isn't mounted, of course. | 19:53 |
| wols_ | Deni: what drivers exactly? | 19:53 |
| vampirefrog | devil, is it reliable? | 19:53 |
| ceceboy | worls_: the problem is that i need a 4 chan sound output, for some reason Mplayer only does 2 chan | 19:53 |

| joaopinto | kewlmunky, it doesn't want a command, it is request your password, sudo means it will be executed with admin privileges, which is required for fdisk | 19:57 |
| kewlmunky | joaopinto: I never set a password | 19:57 |
| vampirefrog | Deni, you can get the fglrx ati driver from the ati website, it provides acceleration and such | 19:57 |

| djdarkman | yes but if the vendor would release a driver under closed source license than it would be evil, never mind, this coin has two sides, regardless of who is right or who is wrong, never mind looks like I`m wasting my time | 20:28 |
| larubbio | It worked for a bit, but only after a reboot. | 20:28 |

| wols_ | larubbio: you don't need a kernel update. your kernel supports you card just fine | 20:32 |
| GRUBFSCK | but grub detected it and automatically prepended my IDE hd with them | 20:32 |
| unavailable | rofl | 20:33 |

| GRUBFSCK | okay | 20:33 |
| wols_ | larubbio: how did you set the static IP? | 20:33 |
| ASULutzy | !fsck | onthefence928 | 20:33 |
| ubottu | onthefence928: fsck is the FileSystem ChecKer, which runs automatically when you boot if you didn't shutdown cleanly. Type "man fsck" for information on running it manually. The command "sudo shutdown -F -r now" will force a reboot and a filesystem check; "sudo touch /fastboot" will skip a filesystem check at next reboot | 20:33 |
| GRUBFSCK | do i need to delete /boot/grub first to clear any deprecated settings | 20:33 |

| wols_ | larubbio: stop network manager and run "sudo dhclient eth0" | 20:34 |
| GRUBFSCK | grub-install says using it can potentially cripple an entire hard drive | 20:34 |
| djdarkman | that`s the problem, things don`t work, if it would, I wouldn`t be here, but keep in mind that "just works" doesn`t mean that "just works if I`m a professional and I can lsusb, get the driver ID, google for the driver or build one myself" there is a big differance | 20:34 |

| joaopinto | vypadkovyy, try #winehq | 21:03 |
| ZLemur | yes, Gin | 21:03 |
| vypadkovyy | thanks | 21:04 |
| joaopinto | mdeias, firefox is not working ??? | 21:04 |
| ASULutzy | joaopinto: heh, well, I guess not having a password and having a password that isn't possible to enter aren't exactly the same thing ;) | 21:04 |
| tritan | ASULutzy, joaopinto, but is it "safe (tm)" to delete the root password even if it is locked? | 21:04 |
| wil_ | is there a command which I can use to translate epoch time into yyyy-mm-dd hh:mm:ss? | 21:04 |
| Gin | ZLemur, is ndiswrapper listed in lsmod? | 21:04 |
| unavailable | vypadkovyy tell winehq the prob they will help you fix | 21:04 |
| joaopinto | tritan, yes, that is the default on a ubuntu system for root | 21:04 |
| ASULutzy | tritan: There's no reason to use -d, -l makes it impossible for anyone to actually log in as root | 21:04 |
| ZLemur | yes, Gin | 21:04 |
| mdeias | joaopinto, FF3 yes but not the plugin :( | 21:04 |
| ZLemur | theres is also mention of it with usbcore | 21:04 |
| * unavailable sees a reference to final fantacy 3 | 21:05 | |
| joaopinto | mdeias, so your problem is not about FF3, but about some plugin (which you didn't named in the first place) | 21:05 |
| tritan | ASULutzy, that's what I thought. Just got nervous when I saw a password in users-admin. thought i had been owned or something. | 21:05 |
| Gin | ZLemur, if you run ndiswrapper -l, does it say activated? | 21:05 |
| ZLemur | says driver installed | 21:05 |
| mdeias | joaopinto, but what should i do first? | 21:05 |
| Gin | ZLemur, can you paste the output in pastebin? | 21:05 |
| joaopinto | mdeias, what are you trying to install, which plugin ? | 21:06 |
| mdeias | joaopinto, java plugin | 21:06 |
| too4 | zlemur, does it say driver intalled, device present? | 21:06 |
| ASULutzy | tritan: Heh, no, type man passwd, and check what -l actually does, essentially makes it impossible to log into | 21:06 |
| ZLemur | it says "netrtlx : driver installed" | 21:06 |
| ZLemur | that's it | 21:06 |
| unavailable | mdeias i used both sun... 5 and 6 and it worked | 21:06 |

| funkyHat | How can I tell which driver Xorg is using right now? | 21:07 |
| ZLemur | http://paste.ubuntu.com/22416/ | 21:07 |

| unavailable | sudo su | 21:08 |
| joaopinto | !root | devil | 21:08 |
| ubottu | devil: Do not try to guess the root password, that is impossible. Instead, realise the truth... there is no root password. Then you will see that it is 'sudo' that grants you access and not the root password. Look at https://help.ubuntu.com/community/RootSudo | 21:08 |
| ASULutzy | I saw someone on ubuntu forums link to compiz-check http://forlong.blogage.de/article/pages/Compiz-Check it's a pretty handy tool | 21:08 |

| ASULutzy | devil: Use sudo. If you are really 100% sure what you want is a root shell, you can use sudo -i or sudo su, or lots of of other similar tricky things, though none are recommended | 21:10 |
| mdeias | yes | 21:10 |
| ZLemur | did that link work, Gin ? | 21:10 |

| joaopinto | funkyHat, you need fglrx | 21:11 |
| wil_ | I tried date -u -d 1214251660 '+%Y-%m-%d %H:%M:%S' But that doesn't seem to work | 21:11 |
| devil | actually i wanna do is instead of typing sudo each time running a admin command is there any way i can log in such a account that have admin privilages ? | 21:11 |
| RAdams | devil: sudo su | 21:11 |
| ASULutzy | devil: sudo -i | 21:11 |

| RAdams | yeah pounce on that support | 21:12 |
| joaopinto | unavailable, sudo su is not recommended since it does not properly set the environment | 21:12 |
| unavailable | one question gets 5 answers | 21:12 |
| yay1 | devil, i think it is better not to do that. things get messed up unknowingly if you're logged as an admin to do everything | 21:12 |
| yay1 | particulary newbs like us! | 21:12 |
| yay1 | :-D | 21:12 |
| devil | sudo su and sudo i will make me work as admin and i dont need to type sudo everytime ?/ | 21:12 |
| unavailable | try it once | 21:12 |
| yay1 | but anyway | 21:12 |
| devil | hmm | 21:12 |
| joaopinto | devil, first, you should read "man sudo", before getting into admin privileges at all | 21:12 |

| ZLemur | gin http://paste.ubuntu.com/22418/ - it's a trendnet 228pi | 21:14 |
| ASULutzy | devil: The way you're posing these questions. The only advice I can give you is learn to use sudo. If you stick around in a root shell for long, eventually you will hose your system. Do not make the habit of just opening a shell and typing sudo -i when you login and leaving it open. You could increase the timeout a little bit on sudo for somewhat of a comrpomise | 21:14 |
| mortal1 | devil, if you want a root terminal just do sudo su | 21:14 |
| mortal1 | but be careful, root does not suffer fools | 21:14 |
| joaopinto | grrr, mortal that is not the proper way to get root, it's sudo -i | 21:14 |

| Kronos | hi ya guyz i need some help i've installed ubuntu 8.04 yesterday it all ran fine exept it wouldnt permanently mount network drives so i went on the net and found on ubuntu's official site some help file which explained how to mod a txt file only the actual modification proved to be a bit more than i could handle so i decided to give it up i'm fairly sure i didnt save anything on that file today when i started up the machi | 21:16 |
| Kronos | ne it wouldnt fully load instead it jumps to the txt base loader and displays the follwing messages: | 21:16 |

| danielm_mc | or sudo su - | 21:18 |
| rohan | or su - | 21:18 |
| magnetron | mortal1: frostwire has more features. besides that, no diff. | 21:18 |
| ASULutzy | funkyHat: the radeon open source driver afaik does not do 3d. You will need to use fglrx if you want 3d | 21:19 |
| Gin | ZLemur, try this driver http://www.realtek.com.tw/downloads/downloadsView.aspx?Langid=1&PNid=5&PFid=5&Level=6&Conn=5&DownTypeID=3&GetDown=false&Downloads=true#372 | 21:19 |
| cleanfuel | how do i undirty my mac partition | 21:19 |
| joaopinto | mortal, sudo su will not setup the environment variable to match the user root login, that can cause several problems like root owned files/dirs inside the users home dir | 21:19 |

| AaronMT | asmo[B]: The reason it's slow is because of the way Microsoft handles the MSN protocol directly from within Windows Live Messenger and other 3rd party IM applications. Microsoft keeps it's code closed source and handles transfers from within WLM, Peer-2-Peer. The way pidgin and other applications are forced to handle file transfers (due to the lack of help of analysing the code from Microsoft) is through sending dire | 21:25 |

| ASULutzy | jc_: If you're using the live-cd then why do you need to burn another one? | 21:25 |
| cleanfuel | must delete it | 21:25 |
| giantmidget | abe3k, i see. then ntfs is the only way i guess | 21:25 |
| ASULutzy | jc_: But yea, I have no idea if that will work or not. You can try loading brasero, popping out the cd and popping in a blank, but I'd be surprised if it worked ;) | 21:25 |

| abe3k | giantmidget . is there a specific package for that ? | 21:26 |
| bdoss | rohan: thx for acknowledging :) | 21:26 |
| cleanfuel | anyway to access a hfs+ with full read and write in linux? | 21:26 |
| cleanfuel | yo uguys know all the secrets | 21:26 |
| jc_ | ASULutzy: I don't understand :S | 21:26 |
| giantmidget | abe3k, you should google up ubuntu ntfs support | 21:26 |
| the-erm | Anyone here know how to change file association for SD cards? I don't want to use fspot. | 21:27 |
| Gin | ZLemur, it is easy. install build-essential first | 21:27 |
| funkyHat | ASULutzy: currently fglrx either just displays a white screen when I try to use compiz, or crashes after a few minutes of use, so that's not much good for me unfortunately :( | 21:27 |
| rohan | bdoss: but if you're wanting to check a specific package, i can try | 21:27 |
| abe3k | giantmidget . oh and one more question, can I partition a usb harddrive ? | 21:27 |
| joaopinto | abe3k, erm, like i said, cfdisk, then mkfs.ntfs | 21:27 |
| giantmidget | abe3k, your machine can only handle filesystems it has the driver for... | 21:27 |
| Gin | ZLemur, I can walk you through. it is only a few commands | 21:27 |
| ZLemur | using apt-get? | 21:27 |
| Kronos | can anyone please help, i wrote my problem here on paste bin (http://paste.ubuntu.com/22421/) | 21:27 |
| joaopinto | abe3k, sudo cfdisk, select the usb device, and create a partition | 21:27 |
| alkisg | Hello, I have a brightness problem in my laptop (it is lowered after some seconds of inactivity), could someone with a laptop tell me the output of "ls /sys/class/backlight"? I have two entries there, acer_acpi and acpi_video0 and I'm wondering if I should remove one if them... | 21:27 |
| bdoss | rohan: it's some packages that our department is maintaining ourselves, but thanks for offering | 21:27 |
| the-erm | abe3k: yes you can partition a usb drive yous qtparted ... or program like that. | 21:27 |
| abe3k | giantmidget . it handels ntfs well , I have hardy | 21:27 |
| giantmidget | abe3k, no idea, hope someone else knows | 21:27 |
| jc_ | ASULutzy: I cant copy the file over the Ubuntu CD, which is in the drive | 21:27 |
| Gin | ZLemur, yes, or synaptic | 21:27 |
| ZLemur | ok | 21:27 |
| ASULutzy | funkyHat: How much ram do you have? Because if it's more than 3.2 GB, I had to write my own mtrr table rewrite startup script to get fglrx to work with more than 3.2 GB of ram | 21:27 |
| unavailable | join ##linux | 21:27 |
| ZLemur | alright, that's going. | 21:27 |
| unavailable | cleanfuel actually ##linux knows all the secrets | 21:27 |
| abe3k | the-erm , I have gparted if thats what you mean ? | 21:28 |
| xfls | RAdams: I installed it but it's not helping.. | 21:28 |
| un2him | does simple backup suite work with amazon s3? | 21:28 |
| rohan | Kronos: there has been some mess. i have those files on my computer defualt install | 21:28 |
| ZLemur | alright, gin, build-essentials is installed. | 21:28 |
| ASULutzy | jc_:What you're trying to do is probably getting into unsupported territory. | 21:28 |
| the-erm | abe3k: that probably would work. It fits in "a program like that" | 21:28 |
| giantmidget | abe3k, ntfs support under linux is not best though, can you use windows tools instead? i know theres one that even supports on-the-flt splitting and so... | 21:28 |
| Gin | ZLemur, do you have the driver downloaded already? you need to get the linux kernel 2.6.x version | 21:28 |
| funkyHat | ASULutzy: 2GB, only a pentium M processor. And it's only a mobility radeon 9600 as well | 21:28 |
| joaopinto | abe3k, yes, he meant qparted, which is similar to gparted but using QT instead of GTK | 21:28 |
| joaopinto | giantmidget, it is good enough to do an ntfs partition format, there is no need for him to go over windows | 21:29 |
| ASULutzy | funkyHat: Heh, no clue then! Fglrx is far from amazing, that's for sure | 21:29 |
| ZLemur | how do i do that easily? | 21:29 |
| rohan | Kronos: try doing "sudo apt-get install --reinstall linux-image-2.6.24-19-generic" | 21:29 |
| CaptainMorgan | something happen to the firefox packages? I removed all traces of firefox and wanted to install firefox 2, but when I go to open the program it's firefox 3... what gives ??? | 21:29 |
| jc_ | ASULutzy: So I can't remove the live CD whilst using the live distro, is there no way to do that? | 21:29 |
| ASULutzy | giantmidget: I don't think NTFS support in Linux is all that bad | 21:29 |
| Kronos | rohan: kk lets try that | 21:29 |
| RAdams | xfls: run a flash movie or something that taxes it and tell me the top 3 processes in tops | 21:29 |
| ASULutzy | giantmidget: I've had no problems with it? | 21:29 |
| the-erm | This is kinda frustrating something so simple in kde, is impossible in gnome. I can do all sorts of fun stuff when a drive is connected in kde no problem. | 21:29 |
| joaopinto | CaptainMorgan, you need to install the package firefox-2, and the command wil be firefox-2 | 21:29 |
| CRASH69 | quick doubt, modifying the xorg.conf manually to change the right driver from mesa to the newone, will be the same that change the driver with: sudo dpkg-reconfigure xserver-xorg ? | 21:30 |
| ASULutzy | jc_: I don't know, and I'd be surprised if anyone has tried it. Just give it a whirl? What's the worst thing that could happen? I would suggest using dd to burn the cd instead of brasero or some other resource hogging GUI frontend | 21:30 |
| blumm | joaopinto: does dd also check the iso afterwards? how can i be sure, that it has been successfully been created? | 21:30 |
| giantmidget | ASULutzy, im just saying that its not native for linux and since there are many better options i dont think its all that bad that you cant do things to it you could under windows... | 21:30 |
| joaopinto | the-erm, what are you truing to do with a drive on gnome that you can't ? | 21:30 |
| joaopinto | !iso | blumm | 21:30 |
| ubottu | blumm: To mount an ISO disc image, type « sudo mount -o loop <ISO-filename> <mountpoint> » - There is a list of useful cd image conversion tools at http://wiki.linuxquestions.org/wiki/CD_Image_Conversion - Always verify the ISO using !MD5 before !burning. | 21:30 |

| jc_ | ASULutzy: But how do I eject the drive? Is there a command that overrides the "lock"? | 21:31 |

| ASULutzy | jc_: This probably isn't the way to go. Why not just install the cd? or pick up a USB stick and create a persistent live-usb instead of trying to do this from cd | 21:31 |
| glitsj16 | CaptainMorgan: that's probably because you have the meta package(s) installed fir firefox, those automatically point to the latest firefox packages, remove them and install firefox-2 | 21:31 |

| gorg_ | ..which laptop would u've preferred to linux os? | 21:33 |
| kesi | Starnestommy, is that just arbitrary or is there some formula that should be used? | 21:33 |
| rohan | Kronos: we're basically just re-installing the package | 21:33 |
| giantmidget | joaopinto, ill look it up, thank you :) | 21:33 |
| Gin | ZLemur, sory, you don't have to compile the driver yourself. see this https://help.ubuntu.com/community/WifiDocs/Device/RTL8180L | 21:33 |
| CaptainMorgan | thank you joaopinto - apparently I did have another process of firefox3 open..... in the background.... | 21:33 |
| Starnestommy | kesi: arbitrary | 21:34 |
| joaopinto | CaptainMorgan, ok, that explains ;) | 21:34 |
| Kronos | rohan: package, the whole OS or just..? | 21:34 |
| Starnestommy | kesi: the less ram you have, the more swap you need | 21:34 |
| rohan | Kronos: that one package. can you paste the output? | 21:34 |
| Kronos | rohan: as i'm not sure apt-get will work as its wireless and those things usualy need a nice runing enviroment to connect | 21:34 |
| joaopinto | kesi, there is a common used formula, swap = 2xram, but some peolpe don't agree with it for large memory systems | 21:35 |
| ZLemur | thanks Gin - i'll give that a go | 21:35 |
| Kronos | rohan: i would if there was any but it just sat there showing me a prompt | 21:35 |
| dosyl | RAdams, Frostwire does the same tihing, nothing append when I click it!!!!! | 21:35 |
| rohan | Kronos: if that package is already downloaded, it should not take any time. | 21:35 |
| joaopinto | dosyl, have you tried to launch it from the terminal ? | 21:35 |
| kesi | joaopinto, I have 300 GB of space so I'm not hurting there. I'm just looking for the best performance I can get | 21:35 |
| rohan | Kronos: and even otherwise, it should some _some_ output. press CTRL-C, and then type "sudo apt-get -f install", does that show any output? | 21:36 |
| joaopinto | kesi, I always follow the 2xram rule, it doesn't hurt | 21:36 |
| dosyl | no because I don't know what is the extension file I must ot launch! | 21:36 |
| rohan | joaopinto: now-a-days, that much swap is just not required. | 21:36 |
| kesi | joaopinto, thanks! | 21:36 |
| joaopinto | rohan, well, I would argue with that, it all depends on what you are running ;) | 21:37 |

| peterretief | i have just installed cnc3 after installing wine 1 almost all works except the sound | 21:37 |
| rohan | joaopinto: agreed :) but for normal desktop use, that much swap is too much. e.g. 2gb ram is normal, so if you've a 4gb swap, it's just overkill | 21:37 |
| joaopinto | peterretief, better ask on #winehq | 21:37 |
| joaopinto | rohan, it doesn't hurt, it will only be used if required | 21:38 |

| joaopinto | rohan, image you are running 4x1GB VMs, are most of the time, 2 of them have no activity, they are better swapped out :P | 21:39 |

| rohan | joaopinto: lol, that's not normal desktop use is it ;) | 21:39 |
| Kronos | rohan: the last thing it reads before stopping is activating swap right after "setting kernel variables" | 21:39 |

| rohan | metalpres: type that in a terminal - "man tc" and press enter | 22:11 |
| joaopinto | unavailable, because you were creating /Leopard, and not /media/Leopard | 22:11 |

| abe3k | there | 22:14 |
| loGic | ---------anyone know how to run a usb-connected hard drive through a laptop? | 22:15 |
| Oli`` | CristianCT46: one of the issues at the moment is Pulseaudio (on by default in Hardy) and Wine's various audio drivers. There just isn't a good solution at the moment for things that require more than one audio connection (like Steam games) | 22:15 |
| Colin1 | So I'm guessing no? 8-) | 22:15 |
| rohan | Kronos: hehe :) | 22:15 |
| devil | anyone who is using gyach in ubuntu ? | 22:15 |
| theFATMAN | how do i override my resolution? it is capable of 75mhz, but it only shows 60mhz in the options. i have a really bad flicker because of this | 22:15 |

| Colin1 | theFATMAN, are ya on nvidia? | 22:15 |
| Kronos | rohan: good guess or u still reckon it could be ok? | 22:15 |
| theFATMAN | Colin1: ATI HD 2400 XT | 22:15 |
| devil | logic it wud b auto detected ... | 22:16 |
| loGic | really? well my laptop doesn't have an internal hard drive | 22:16 |
| abe3k | anyone whink that wine could run assassins creed ? | 22:16 |
| Colin1 | Ah, then I don't know. I had that same prob with nvidia. | 22:16 |
| xintron | giantmidget: htop is great! :D | 22:16 |
| IndyGunFreak | loGic: using the internal drive, and BOOTING the internal drive, is very different | 22:16 |
| magnetron | abe3k: to find out, check appdb | 22:16 |
| giantmidget | xintron, hehe, told you :) | 22:16 |

| IndyGunFreak | loGic: you'll need to check your bios, to see if it has the ability to boot a USB device | 22:16 |
| xintron | Btw, firestarter is using max CPU, why might that be? | 22:17 |
| gz2aa | If I want to find out which processes are sending out most of network packages to local loop back interface, any tool I can use on Linux? | 22:17 |

| george___ | can some1 help with the problem ive got? | 22:17 |
| Colin1 | So anyone have any clue about my prob? Emerald will only change borders. Nothing else. | 22:17 |
| loGic | IndyGunFreak: it gives me two options 1) retry 2) setup | 22:17 |
| IndyGunFreak | loGic: your system bios is where the option to boot from a USB device is, you'll have to go through your BIOS settings. | 22:17 |

| Colin1 | kkathman, pretty much everything. | 22:18 |
| IndyGunFreak | loGic: well, you'll need to figure that out, all bios are different(many can't boot USB devices so you might be SOL)... go through the bios, and look at your "Boot Sequence", and try making USB first | 22:18 |
| kkathman | Colin lol - it doesnt... use system-preferences-appearance for the rest | 22:19 |
| devil | any1 can tell me if gyach works in ubuntu and how to install it ? | 22:19 |

| Colin1 | kkathman Um... mind if I just give you a link to a youtube vid? | 22:23 |
| unop | theFATMAN, it might be to do with the fact that the driver module loaded for your graphics card isn't capable of setting your monitor up for that refresh rate - look into whether you can install a better driver - if one is available | 22:23 |

| unop | theFATMAN, first you have to identify your graphics card's make and model number - use lspci or lshw from a terminal and look through the output - then go onto the manufacturer's website, see if they support linux and download and install the drivers for that particular card - if not, look around on the various forums around to see what other people have done | 22:26 |
| magnetron | abe3k: ok, that's the latest. other gamers would benefit from your test results, please post them to appdb | 22:26 |
| theFATMAN | unop: hey thank, you've been a big help! | 22:26 |
| Colin1 | kkathman OH, it was called the dock. This might be what I was looking for. | 22:27 |
| kkathman | Colin1, look up and try Cairo-Dock its very good | 22:27 |
| kkathman | its almost exactly like osx | 22:27 |
| unop | theFATMAN, you're welcome, i'm sorry i couldn't help better but .. this can't be done any other way | 22:28 |
| abe3k | magnetron , I had everything maxed out I'll try to lower things from the graphics settings and see how it works | 22:28 |

| btice | Hello. Is there anywhere to still get mp3 codecs easily for an edgy (6.10) installation? It's on an antique laptop (ThinkPad 390E) so I don't want to go any newer an Ubuntu than I need. | 22:31 |
| CristianCT46 | What version of X.org is installed by default on Hardy? | 22:31 |
| adac | thx ompaul | 22:31 |
| btice | The package manager doesn't have anything available any more. (Too old for support.) | 22:31 |
| azexian | need help with setting up a touch screen, anyone? | 22:31 |
| Colin1 | kkathman Downloading the one you mentioned and installing now. | 22:31 |
| fahd-malik87 | unop | 22:31 |
| Blaqlight | lol | 22:32 |
| kkathman | Colin1, yeah you may need to install the dependencies, I did | 22:32 |
| ASULutzy | btice: I would consider upgrading, otherwise I'm sure you could compile the codecs from source or maybe find a .deb package with google | 22:32 |
| Colin1 | kkathman NO clue what that means. My experience with linux is 1 day. xD | 22:32 |
| unop | fahd-malik87, yes | 22:32 |
| nickrud | fahd-malik87, you would need to add those partitions to /etc/fstab. See link that follows | 22:32 |
| nickrud | !fstab | fahd-malik87 | 22:32 |
| ubottu | fahd-malik87: The /etc/fstab file indicates how drive partitions are to be used or otherwise integrated into the file system. See http://www.tuxfiles.org/linuxhelp/fstab.html and !Partitions | 22:32 |

| aHTu4aJlrap | please join in #Forbbiden | 22:33 |
| fahd-malik87 | thank you | 22:33 |
| kkathman | Colin1 when you install cairo-dock is may ask you to install some other library. | 22:33 |
| nickrud | fahd-malik87, when you choose a mount point, make it in /media , then they will be on the desktop | 22:33 |

| CristianCT46 | What version of X.org is installed by default on Hardy? | 22:33 |
| afallenhope | Personal opinion here but I was just trying to figure it out.. Virtualbox vs VMware to run Windows.... anyone? | 22:33 |
| SNESLink | does anyone think it would be a bad idea to install kde alongside gnome? | 22:33 |
| ASULutzy | btice: I'm sure there is an alternate installer for gutsy, there's one for Hardy | 22:34 |
| kkathman | SNESLink, go ahead - you can toggle between them if you wish | 22:34 |
| unop | SNESLink, kde can exist quite happily beside gnome without any problems | 22:34 |
| Colin1 | kkathman Worked fine. Now how do I get the thing to start up without me telling it to. | 22:34 |
| ASULutzy | SNESLink: I've done it before, it works. Your menus can get a little messy, but other than that | 22:34 |
| yoyoned | SNESLink: you cant run them both at the same time, but many people have them both installed | 22:35 |
| Oddish | Ubuntu logs into my network on login. Is there any way that I could make it log into the network at startup instead? | 22:35 |
| SNESLink | thanks for the input | 22:35 |
| magnetron | SNESLink: it's not a bad idea, they will exist alongside eachother. you can uninstall it later, but it'll be harder to uninstall all the apps it will install | 22:35 |
| kkathman | Colin1, look under your Applications-System Tools | 22:35 |
| SNESLink | yeah, I know how to change sessions | 22:35 |
| kkathman | it should be there | 22:35 |

| === Yowshi is now known as Yowshi1 | ||
| Colin1 | kkathman Think that could be the prob? | 22:38 |
| odder | george___: just ask here in the channel, maybe someone else will know the answer | 22:38 |
| murlidhar | yoyoned, tried several times | 22:38 |
| yoyoned | murlidhar: right, kernels are same | 22:38 |
| afallenhope | can you have XFCE running alongside gnome? | 22:38 |
| abe3k | hyppias, is this the eeepc 1000 ? | 22:38 |
| george___ | odder: ive asked many times, not replied | 22:38 |
| ASULutzy | george___: Check the logs, you're having an x error | 22:38 |
| kkathman | Colin1, nah your config should be more than enough I think | 22:39 |
| Colin1 | kkathman Also, doesn't seem to slow down linux. Its only the menu that seems a tad sluggish | 22:39 |
| ASULutzy | george___: What kind of graphics card do you have? and what driver are you using? | 22:39 |
| murlidhar | yoyoned, it's a us b ethernet card | 22:39 |
| george___ | ASULutzy, i did check the Xorg.0.log | 22:39 |
| hyppias | abe3k: 701 | 22:39 |
| c0mrade | hello | 22:39 |
| abe3k | hyppias, I managed to have beryl working with xandros under advanced mode | 22:39 |
| george___ | ASULutzy, its an ATI RADEON XPRESS 200M | 22:39 |
| hyppias | wat is beryl | 22:39 |
| abe3k | hyppias, how did you get BT in a 701 ? or do you mean a usb BT ? | 22:39 |
| Colin1 | kkathman I also got a ton of compiz effects on | 22:39 |
| kkathman | Colin1 - did you download and install the version at the web site using dpkg? | 22:39 |
| ASULutzy | george___: What did the logs say? And are you using fglrx, radeon, or vesa driver? | 22:39 |
| hyppias | abe3k: i don't want xandros | 22:39 |
| adac | ompaul: now it works! what are the different hwmon temperature zones? | 22:40 |
| george___ | ASULutzy, the only (EE) Ive found was (EE) AIGLX: Screen 0 is not DRI capable | 22:40 |
| hyppias | abe3k: yes an USB dongle, connecting to nokia | 22:40 |
| afallenhope | which is better for virtualizing Windows.... Virtualbox or VMWare? | 22:40 |
| Colin1 | kkathman No.. I used the terminal and edited the sources file | 22:40 |
| abe3k | hyppias, aha I see | 22:40 |
| murlidhar | yoyoned, and all the kernels from 2.6.24 support davicom's usb ethernet | 22:40 |
| Gin | afallenhope, I would use virtualbox | 22:40 |
| afallenhope | ty ign | 22:40 |
| ompaul | adac, that you got to read up on - cos I have no idea | 22:40 |
| yoyoned | murlidhar: look in synaptic for any extra kernel-module packages you have installed | 22:40 |
| ASULutzy | george___: For now, go into the recovery console, then type gksu gedit /etc/X11/xorg.conf and change the driver to "vesa" | 22:40 |
| kkathman | Colin1 ahhh - you are probably running a little older version | 22:41 |
| yoyoned | murlidhar: in the full install I mean | 22:41 |
| ASULutzy | george___: That will use the software driver, which will at least let you boot into Ubuntu, even though it will be without 3d | 22:41 |
| Colin1 | kkathman I just changed the theme, and now it seems to run fast | 22:41 |
| kkathman | ahh very good | 22:41 |
| Colin1 | kkathman Theme I was using before was clear | 22:41 |
| yoyoned | murlidhar: and try installing the same packages in the minimal install | 22:41 |

| murlidhar | yoyoned, how ? | 22:41 |
| abe3k | hyppias, did you get the internet going using your nokia with the eeepc ? | 22:42 |
| Rosen | Hey guys.. Can anyone tell me the name of the package for ufo:ai ? I can't seem to find it in synaptic | 22:42 |
| ASULutzy | george___: If there's no Driver option, you'll want to add it under the Section "InputDevice" You'll want to add a line that says Driver "vesa" | 22:42 |
| yoyoned | murlidhar: do you know how to use synaptic | 22:42 |
| murlidhar | yoyoned, yes | 22:42 |
| george___ | ASULutzy, i get (gksu:4572) Gtk-Warning **: cannot open display | 22:42 |
| yoyoned | murlidhar: search for modules and see what's installed | 22:43 |
| adac | ompaul: the command sensors shows more infos! | 22:43 |
| george___ | ASULutzy, should i try gksu vi instead? | 22:43 |
| yoyoned | murlidhar: something like linux-restricted-modules-common | 22:43 |
| odder | george___: did you try googling the Xorg.log line that says the EE? I've found couple of thread that mention this kind of error | 22:44 |
| ASULutzy | george___: Oh yea duh lol, sudo nano or sudo vi instead | 22:44 |
| ompaul | adac, well pictures are not as good as real time data - they are just summarys | 22:44 |
| b4l7424r | i plan to change my graphics card, should i uninstall the current driver before i install my new card? | 22:45 |

| === blu4U is now known as bluman2 | ||

| === bluman2 is now known as blu4U | ||
| afallenhope | seriously what's with all the dang kernel updates. | 22:46 |
| nickrud | b4l7424r, you can simply run sudo dpkg-reconfigure -pcritical xserver-xorg , that will reset X to use the best open source driver available for whatever card it finds. Then you can add the right proprietary driver later (if you want) | 22:46 |
| george___ | ASULutzy, should I change it to RADEON or VESA and wq!? | 22:46 |
| murlidhar | yoyoned, so what's the solution? | 22:46 |
| === Karter_ is now known as Karter | ||
| ASULutzy | george___: Change it to vesa and then wq | 22:46 |
| yoyoned | murlidhar: note all the module packages installed in the full install, then see if they are installed in the minimal install. The minimal install may have left out some of the module packages. | 22:46 |
| arakthor | in /etc/apt/sources.list the ubuntu CD source is commented out, but while trying to install java6, apt-get continues to ask for the server cd - anyone know how to solve that? | 22:47 |
| odder | george___: http://www.debianhelp.org/node/7607 -- try this. | 22:47 |
| ASULutzy | george___: This isn't a permanent solution of course, this is just so you'll at least be able to boot into Ubuntu graphically, and then I'd do research as to what the real problem is | 22:47 |
| nickrud | arakthor, try sudo apt-get update first | 22:47 |

| milaks | Hi guys. My cd/dvd burner doesnt seem to work, so I cant burn kubuntu on some medium. Is it possible to install kubuntu with image only from hard disk (like I mount it with some prog like deamon tools and CD medium) and then use Wubi to install frmo Windows | 22:53 |

| M1DLG | hello peps, I need to make my serial port work on my dell latitude d610 in WINE? | 22:54 |
| webcamwonder | milaks, If yoyu want to use Wubi, you don't need to mount anything | 22:54 |
| ASULutzy | afallenhope: You can run virtualbox with that. It's the same as I have. sudo apt-get install virtualbox-ose-modules-2.6.24-19-generic | 22:54 |
| webcamwonder | milaks, Wubi should do everything for you... | 22:54 |

| wittyphotons | hi there; i'm trying to slipstream a winxp install cd, and i was wondering if there was a ubuntu/linux program i could use for this; nlite (windows only) doesn't seem to want to run in wine | 22:54 |
| milaks | webcamwonder, so I can do it like that right? (mount it in windows and start wubi, without burning image to CD) | 22:55 |
| webcamwonder | milaks, You don't even need to mount | 22:55 |
| webcamwonder | milaks, Wubi does everyuthing for you. Just start it up, select all the config you wish to use and it will install | 22:55 |
| ASULutzy | wittyphotons: why do you need anything other than a text editor to make a slipstream Windows cd? I thought all you had to do was include the drivers you wanted and then edit a text file to point to them. (Sorry I'm not a real expert on doing a slipstream install cd) | 22:55 |
| george___ | ASULutzy, how to edit the file in vi ? SHIFT+i ? | 22:55 |

| ASULutzy | george___: Or use nano, sometimes I feel that nano is more intuitive | 22:56 |
| webcamwonder | milaks, no need... just place it in the same folder as wubi, start wubi up and it should autodetect the iso, and do everything for you | 22:56 |
| arakthor | nickrud, using apt-get update/upgrade first did not help | 22:56 |

| joaopinto | winter-m1te, you would be better by using one of the several supported alternatives to xmms | 22:57 |
| milaks | webcamwonder,o, didnt know I can get wubi separately and use it like that... thanks a lot | 22:57 |
| winter-m1te | joaopinto: well i rather use shoucast with small program like xmms | 22:57 |
| wittyphotons | ASULutzy, i wasn't aware of this slipstreaming solution; thanks, i'll look into it | 22:57 |
| xenomorph99 | Hi. Amarok under Gnome. It doesn't seem to autoupdate music collections. Should it ? Can it? | 22:57 |
