| zaapiel | ubuntu-desktop is what i want to cnvert xubuntu into ubuntu correct? | 00:00 |
|---|---|---|
| Flannel | zaapiel: Yep | 00:00 |
| zaapiel | convert* | 00:00 |
| Eyemean | Flannel, does that mean it will be slighly slower aswell? | 00:00 |
| zaapiel | k ty | 00:00 |
| Maps | amenado - if I do `lpadmin -h nas -p lp` I get conenction refused.. if I'm logged into "nas" how can I see the socket or prot ot whatever? | 00:00 |
| Flannel | Eyemean: Its only slower when it comes to disk access. And even then, only slightly. | 00:00 |
| solexious | unop, got it, thank you | 00:00 |
| unop | solexious, whats the username you are using to connect to this share? it isn't administrator is it? | 00:00 |
| gregbrady | Ok, well, thanks for listening....Maybe I'll try later. | 00:00 |
| Magicdead | RonLut: ah and if it is indeed compiz, then we should be able to corner the problem in fast and finish the little sucker off ;) | 00:00 |
| unop | solexious, cool | 00:00 |
| maccam94 | kevinm_: password protect GRUB, lock your case, remove everything but the HD from boot order, password protect the bios | 00:01 |
| homie | can anyone help me set the default applicatin for an ipod? | 00:01 |
| Flannel | kevinm_: And then unplug it from the wall | 00:01 |
| homie | i don't like it opening in rhythmbox | 00:01 |
| Eyemean | Flannel, thanks i might just do that then, because for some reson ubuntu is acting funny, so installtion time should be alot faster if installed in windows | 00:01 |
| kevinm_ | maccam94: im using a thinkpad that has features like bios password, could i keep the other boot devices or is a bios password not secure? | 00:01 |
| RonLut | Magicdead: :\ my system stopped again.... I don't know if it's the same problem but I guess so.... | 00:02 |
| unop | kevinm_, if someone has physical access to a machine, there really is nothing you can do | 00:02 |
| Eyemean | Flannel, is there an easy way to uninstall ubuntu? | 00:02 |
| jack-desktop | when i log in, my window manager doesn't load and i have to click the fusion icon and select 'reload window manager', how can i fix this? | 00:02 |
| irc-tester | is there a way to force a usb-serial device to use a specific /dev/ttyUSBx port? For example, /dev/ttyUSB3 instead of the lowest available port? | 00:02 |
| Flannel | Eyemean: sure, delete the partitions | 00:02 |
| mattbradshaw | maccam94: you're probably right... not using the restricted hardware manager is probably the cause (attribute it to my ubuntu-n00bness... i'm an rhel/fedora guy by training) | 00:03 |
| mattbradshaw | maccam94: problem is | 00:03 |
| maccam94 | kevinm_: well you don't want other devices to be before the HD in the boot order, because then someone can boot a livecd and get at your hard drive | 00:03 |
| mattbradshaw | maccam94: i can't seemingly get to that | 00:03 |
| kevinm_ | unop: really? bios password is beatable? and then removing all kernal boots but my main one and password protecting grub, all that and still they could gain root | 00:03 |
| ryan_ | using vlc player in buntu 8.04, settings "adjust vlc priority" needs an offset #, what number should i just to delegate highest priority | 00:03 |
| Magicdead | RonLut: hmm. so if it's not compiz, well. difficult to say. have you tried running it for a while without any program open to check if it's cause by a program? | 00:03 |
| maccam94 | kevinm_: unless you're using an encrypted filesystem | 00:03 |
| Magicdead | RonLut: other than that it could be anything, from some x-server error to god knows what imo | 00:04 |
| Flannel | kevinm_: you don't need to remove all the kernel options, thats what the password protection does. | 00:04 |
| Eyemean | Flannel, what about the sectin at the start where u select operating system u want to use? sorry im new to linux | 00:04 |
| mattbradshaw | maccam94: doing the dpkg command resulted in nothing... i even removed the fglrx_drv.so a moment ago, it still locks up | 00:04 |
| kevinm_ | maccam94: yea but if the bios password came before the boot deviceses shouldnt i be safe from livecd attack? | 00:04 |
| RonLut | Magicdead: :\ | 00:04 |
| maccam94 | kevinm_: thinkpad bioses are good, but you need to lock the case shut so they can't reset it | 00:04 |
| mattbradshaw | maccam94: any advice for getting any x to work and then i go the restricted hw mgr route | 00:04 |
| quentusrex | Hello??? | 00:04 |
| unop | kevinm_, sure, all one has to do is remove the cmos battery for half-an-hour and your BIOS settings are lost - that includes the password you've set | 00:04 |
| maccam94 | mattbradshaw: not dpkg, apt-get | 00:04 |
| kevinm_ | maccam94: good idea | 00:04 |
| Flannel | Eyemean: You'll want to pop in your windows CD, and fix the MBR, and then once you're done with that you'll boot straight into windows. | 00:04 |
| RonLut | Magicdead: Ill do some more checking to see if I can recognize the problem source | 00:04 |
| Flannel | Eyemean: And then after that, just overwrite the ubuntu partitions | 00:04 |
| m_newton | How do i regester a bot? | 00:04 |
| kevinm_ | unop: i see | 00:05 |
| maccam94 | mattbradshaw: it sounds like you're totally hosing the system. you're mixing manual and automatic package handling in the worst ways | 00:05 |
| Flannel | m_newton: What? | 00:05 |
| kevinm_ | thanks for the suggestions guys | 00:05 |
| Magicdead | RonLut: also, have you googled/searched the forums for similar problems? i know it might be hard to find info on this specific topic as it seems to be quite generic, but it's worth a try | 00:05 |
| Eyemean | does that mean i seelct repair from windows cd? Flannel ? | 00:05 |
| m_newton | Flannel, well, i want to regester my bot, then give it voice | 00:05 |
| Flannel | Eyemean: Depending on your version, yeah, repair or fixmbr or whatnot | 00:05 |
| maccam94 | mattbradshaw: i've gotta go eat dinner now, but if installing the drivers through the restricted-hardware-manager doesn't work, reinstall ubuntu and install them through r-hw-m | 00:05 |
| Flannel | m_newton: Where? | 00:05 |
| Eyemean | Flannel, xp | 00:06 |
| * maccam94 is GONE | 00:06 | |
| m_newton | Flannel, my channel... | 00:06 |
| Eyemean | ok cheers Flannel | 00:06 |
| Eyemean | Flannel, much appreciated | 00:06 |
| Flannel | m_newton: You register your bot with nickserv, /msg nickserv help register, and then voicing is done by you. | 00:06 |
| gogi | Hello | 00:06 |
| Flannel | m_newton: and/or with chanserv, if you want to give it privledges. But this is offtopic in #ubuntu | 00:06 |
| Maps | amenado - if I do `lpadmin -h nas -p lp` I get conenction refused.. if I run nmap I see port 515/tcp is open..... | 00:06 |
| quentusrex | Can someone help me with an openssh-server problem with ubuntu gutsy??? | 00:06 |
| m_newton | Flannel, i did, and thanks | 00:07 |
| gogi | I was hoping someone could help me with a newly installed mythbuntu / grub dual booting problem | 00:07 |
| FlyingSquirrel31 | what is the default image viewer in hardy, is it still gthumb? | 00:07 |
| to0x | quentusrex explain | 00:07 |
| unop | FlyingSquirrel31, on the gnome desktop, yes | 00:07 |
| MatBoy | is someone using egroupware in ubuntu ? | 00:07 |
| quentusrex | thanks to0x | 00:07 |
| Vinchenzo28 | whats the best prog from .pdf's? | 00:07 |
| gogi | I just installed mythbuntu, hoping to dual boot with XP. But for some reason when I boot from the hdd and it gets time to load a OS, and hopefully show me the boot menu, the screen just fills up with "grub" over and over again...I had to boot into the LiveCD to get here to ask for help :) | 00:07 |
| quentusrex | I'm trying to setup my ubuntu gusty server so that I can ssh into it from my desktop without typing a password | 00:07 |
| unop | Vinchenzo28, you mean, to read pdfs? | 00:07 |
| Vinchenzo28 | unop: yeah | 00:07 |
| MatBoy | ubuntu server still contains egroupware 1.2 and there already is 1.4 :S | 00:08 |
| unop | Vinchenzo28, acroread - adobe's acrobat reader | 00:08 |
| quentusrex | but each time I generate the ssh-keygen -t dsa, and copy it to my remote server. I still get prompted for a password. | 00:08 |
| Vinchenzo28 | unop: ubuntu compatible? | 00:08 |
| FlyingSquirrel31 | unop: I right click on an image and choose open with image viewer it just thinks for a minute and then does nothing. | 00:08 |
| unop | Vinchenzo28, there's also evince - both are available on ubuntu, yes | 00:08 |
| Magicdead | mattbradshaw: uhm, i didn't follow the whole discussion, but did you try installing the driver with envyng, too? | 00:08 |
| Vinchenzo28 | unop: thanks | 00:08 |
| to0x | quentusrex paste the manipulation you do on pastebin.org | 00:09 |
| quentusrex | huh? | 00:09 |
| unop | FlyingSquirrel31, hmm, try setting the default application back to gthumb and trying again -- if that fails, perhaps reinstall gthumb | 00:09 |
| Ballena | Can some one with basic bash scripting knowledge here help me? :) http://ubuntuforums.org/showpost.php?p=5276296&postcount=7 | 00:09 |
| m_newton | Flannel, well, i have already regestered... How do i regester it | 00:09 |
| yessine | hello | 00:09 |
| Flannel | MatBoy: egroupware is in universe, #ubuntu-motu is the place to go. However, 1.4 is in Intrepid | 00:09 |
| unop | FlyingSquirrel31, it might also be likely that gthumb has crashed - you might want to check that too and kill any instances already running. | 00:09 |
| quentusrex | I just scp the id_dsa.pub file into the remote server username@mydomain.com:/home/username/.ssh/authorized_keys2 | 00:09 |
| mattbradshaw | Magicdead: nope | 00:09 |
| === gogi is now known as gogi` | ||
| Flannel | m_newton: once you register, you don't need to do it again. You need to identify. /msg nickserv help identify | 00:10 |
| mattbradshaw | just having trouble uninstalling it now | 00:10 |
| mattbradshaw | not seeing how to do that even | 00:10 |
| mattbradshaw | bleh | 00:10 |
| mattbradshaw | ati is evil | 00:10 |
| m_newton | Flannel, i am regestered and identified | 00:10 |
| Flannel | m_newton: then whats the question? | 00:10 |
| m_newton | Flannel, i want to register and identify my bot | 00:10 |
| Jordan_U | Ballena, You can check the number of arguments with $# | 00:10 |
| FlyingSquirrel31 | unop: Thanks, that works. I just wasn't sure if perhaps gthumb was supposed to have been replaced with something else. | 00:10 |
| Magicdead | mattbradshaw: well, it's sort of a long shot, but the EnvyNG script always did the trick for me when i had display driver probs, just install the package and run envyng | 00:11 |
| thunder_storm | hello everybody | 00:11 |
| Flannel | m_newton: right, register it just like you would any other nick. And as for automatic identification, that'll depend on the bot | 00:11 |
| to0x | quentusrex: there is no "2" at the end of the authorized_keys file | 00:11 |
| unop | FlyingSquirrel31, cool | 00:11 |
| quentusrex | ok, I'll try to change that | 00:11 |
| Starnestommy | m_newton: you may also need to check your email for account verification instructions | 00:11 |
| m_newton | Flannel, /msg nickserv REGISTER <password> <email> | 00:11 |
| m_newton | Flannel, that will regester me... my nick is diffrent from my bot | 00:12 |
| Magicdead | mattbradshaw: it has several options, like automatically installing it, manually installing it, uninstalling drivers and so on | 00:12 |
| tareks | hi hopefully this'll work now | 00:12 |
| Flannel | m_newton: /join #ubuntu-offtopic | 00:12 |
| m_newton | hello Starnestommy | 00:12 |
| to0x | quentusrex: and keep in mind that the passphrase for the key would be empty | 00:12 |
| thunder_storm | i use a Fritz!WLAN USB-Stick on my Sony Vario Notebook PCG-FR415B under Hardy, configured manually and patched fritzusb from launchpad-Forum eingerichtet | 00:12 |
| tareks | I'm not sure if anyone got my previous msgs of help, but I just installed mythbuntu and am having some problems... | 00:12 |
| tareks | I just installed mythbuntu, hoping to dual boot with XP. But for some reason when I boot from the hdd and it gets time to load a OS, and hopefully show me the boot menu, the screen just fills up with "grub" over and over again | 00:12 |
| shubuntu | hey question is there a way you guys can type the names of people you're talking to instead of actually typing it? | 00:12 |
| shubuntu | like do you press any special key combos or whatever | 00:12 |
| Starnestommy | shubuntu: type the first two or three letters then press tab | 00:12 |
| thunder_storm | my problem is, ubuntu freezes, after the notebook is a time long idle | 00:13 |
| Lymies | Magicdead, libasound2-plugins depends on libasound2 (>> 1.0.16); however: | 00:13 |
| Lymies | Version of libasound2 on system is 1.0.15-3ubuntu4. | 00:13 |
| quentusrex | then how to I execute a remote ssh command without typing the password? | 00:13 |
| quentusrex | O | 00:13 |
| shubuntu | i tired that | 00:13 |
| tareks | someone pleeaasee help...I haev a feeling it's a fairly easy fix, I just have no idea how to do it | 00:13 |
| thunder_storm | that means - if no data wall be transfered on the wlan0, the system make a "powersave" - and all frezzes | 00:13 |
| shubuntu | it brings a list of them in the chat window | 00:13 |
| quentusrex | I'm trying to script a command to run on my remote server, without having to type the password. | 00:13 |
| shubuntu | doesn't come down here in the typing area | 00:13 |
| to0x | quentusrex: please, when youre talking to me, highlight me | 00:14 |
| gway9000 | not enough letters typed | 00:14 |
| quentusrex | ok to0x | 00:14 |
| to0x | i can't follow you | 00:14 |
| Flannel | Lymies: you can't use intrepid packages in Hardy | 00:14 |
| thunder_storm | now my question: how can i disable the powersave function of the usb-connections? | 00:14 |
| shubuntu | oh i got it it has to be unique | 00:14 |
| shubuntu | nevermind | 00:14 |
| legend2440 | mattbradshaw: read section on uninstall ati https://a248.e.akamai.net/f/674/9206/0/www2.ati.com/drivers/linux/linux_cat86-inst.html | 00:14 |
| thunder_storm | idea two: a tool what sends a ping every 30 seconds | 00:14 |
| quentusrex | to0x, I'm trying to setup a script to run a command on my remote server, but without having to type the password each time the script runs. | 00:15 |
| Lymies | Flannel, what does that mean | 00:15 |
| Magicdead | Lymies: uhm... well i suggest you first try following the instructions on the forum-link i gave you, and if that doesn't work get all the packages you need from packages.ubuntu.com intrepid repository | 00:15 |
| thunder_storm | what is possible? | 00:15 |
| arooni-mobile | question: i have an ubuntu hardy desktop i built.... anyway i'm having trouble getting on the interwebs.... i'm connected to a wireless router (with an ethernet cable).... anyway, i tired connecting both via wired & wireless... i get an ip address from the router.... but pinging any service results in "ping: unknown host yahoo.com". this was working fine before... and better yet, i'm connected to the same router on the lap | 00:15 |
| arooni-mobile | top i'm typing to you on. | 00:15 |
| Magicdead | Flannel: why can't he/her use intrepid packages? | 00:15 |
| Flannel | Lymies: How did you get that file (libasound-plugins?) through the repos? or what? | 00:15 |
| Magicdead | Flannel: the intrepid flash 10 solves a lot of problems with pa | 00:15 |
| connor | im eating crumbled bacon in a bowl like cereal | 00:15 |
| Flannel | Magicdead: He can use intrepid files if he's on intrepid. You can't mix/match files like that. | 00:15 |
| to0x | quentusrex: in order to have access to a machine without password with ssh, you ve to generate a public key from your client server, and then copy this file to the user@server:~/.ssh/authorized_keys file | 00:16 |
| to0x | quentusrex: but the passphrase need to be empty when you generate your public key | 00:16 |
| thunder_storm | can nobody helps me | 00:16 |
| quentusrex | but I have done this.... | 00:16 |
| quentusrex | :( | 00:16 |
| tareks | can anyone help me...pretty please...grub dual boot problem.... | 00:16 |
| quentusrex | that's my problem.... :( | 00:16 |
| connor | tareks: whats the problem? | 00:16 |
| jant | quentusrex: no you didn't | 00:16 |
| tareks | connor: I just installed mythbuntu, hoping to dual boot with XP. But for some reason when I boot from the hdd and it gets time to load a OS, and hopefully show me the boot menu, the screen just fills up with "grub" over and over again | 00:16 |
| jant | quentusrex: is quite foolproof | 00:16 |
| quentusrex | jant, then what am I don't wrong??? | 00:16 |
| connor | tareks: if you can, get a ubuntu live cd and boot it | 00:17 |
| RonLut | Magicdead: It happend again... it's not compiz problem, for sure.... | 00:17 |
| connor | and try an install to see if that helps | 00:17 |
| Magicdead | Flannel: hmm that's the info i found on the forums when i had problems with flash & pa. sure it's a workaround but in this case the flashplugin-nonfree + alsa 1.0.16 works great | 00:17 |
| tareks | connor: I'm in the live cd right now | 00:17 |
| connor | oh | 00:17 |
| connor | ok | 00:17 |
| connor | um, download the ubuntu iso and burn it | 00:17 |
| quentusrex | jant, to0x I'm running ssh-keygen -t dsa and I'm leaving the password field blank | 00:17 |
| connor | tareks: how did you install? | 00:18 |
| tareks | Well the CD I booted into is the Mythbuntu Live CD / Install CD | 00:18 |
| connor | hmm | 00:18 |
| tareks | connor: I just went through the install normally....didn't select anything but default settings | 00:18 |
| connor | try reinstalling | 00:18 |
| connor | that usually helps me | 00:18 |
| connor | what burn speed did you use? | 00:18 |
| to0x | quentusrex: are you sure you want to ssh with the correct user | 00:18 |
| connor | always use the lowest speed on things like this | 00:18 |
| jant | quentusrex: then scp .ssh/id_dsa.pub <user>@server_to_connect_to:~/.ssh/authorized_keys | 00:19 |
| jjjjjfjjfjfj | Can someone please give me a quick answer as to whether you would either install Ubuntu or Kubuntu onto a fresh harddrive? Been using Ubuntu in college, and wondering if Kubuntu is a better option..... or is this all just preference? | 00:19 |
| connor | jjjjjfjjfjfj: ubuntu uses gnome and kubuntu uses kde | 00:19 |
| tareks | I burnt it in 16X | 00:19 |
| Magicdead | RonLut: hum, that sucks. well i wonder, if you boot from the install-cd, so you use the standard system on the cd, would the problem still exist. | 00:19 |
| connor | tareks: was that the lowest? | 00:19 |
| tareks | I think it's just something wrong with how the dual loader is setup or something, I can't really say since I'm new at this stuff | 00:19 |
| jant | quentusrex: make sure that the directory .ssh on the server to connect to excists | 00:19 |
| RonLut | Magicdead: What you mean? using the live cd? | 00:19 |
| connor | tareks: always get comfortable with the live cd first | 00:19 |
| gway9000 | jjjjjfjjfjfj: yes you can | 00:19 |
| jant | quentusrex: eq scp shouldn't stop with an error | 00:20 |
| jjjjjfjjfjfj | connor: yes, would your preference be gnome or kde? | 00:20 |
| SeaPhor | jjjjjfjjfjfj, just prefs bro | 00:20 |
| connor | tareks: try uninstalling mythbuntu first and see if that helps | 00:20 |
| quentusrex | it doesn't. | 00:20 |
| connor | jjjjjfjjfjfj: i use ubuntu personally, it was what i started with | 00:20 |
| Magicdead | RonLut: on the linux install-cd is a pre-made complete ubuntu, so you can boot of the cd and use that standard system. | 00:20 |
| connor | tareks: uninstalling mythbuntu will remove grub, letting you boot xp | 00:20 |
| jant | quentusrex: then you are done | 00:20 |
| zangabar | I'm having troubles getting grub to boot my installation of Windows XP. Windows setup installed the boot loader into a different partition than the XP installation. Can anyone help me get around this? | 00:20 |
| quentusrex | jant, but it doesn't work.... | 00:20 |
| bibi__ | I am running ubuntu installer and the only choise it gives me is to use entire disk. I want to install it preserving existing partition table. How can I do it? | 00:20 |
| to0x | quentusrex: so take a look at your ssh config server file and verifiy that this line exists: PubkeyAuthentication yes | 00:21 |
| connor | zangabar: what happens? | 00:21 |
| root | who | 00:21 |
| jjjjjfjjfjfj | connor: Do you know of any advantages/disadvantages over one or the other? | 00:21 |
| connor | jjjjjfjjfjfj: no I don't, | 00:21 |
| === root is now known as Guest80110 | ||
| Magicdead | RonLut: now if you have the problems with the standard system, it is indeed weird. if you don't have it on the live-cd system, the problem is most probably due to some changes you made, your installation, which would mean it's fixable :) | 00:21 |
| arooni-mobile | i think my file system just went read only.... how can i checK? | 00:21 |
| connor | jjjjjfjjfjfj: try both live cds for about 30 minutes and see which you prefer | 00:21 |
| cyphase | umm.. anyone willing to let me vnc into their computer to test out vnc? | 00:21 |
| connor | kubuntu and ubuntu | 00:21 |
| connor | or possible xubuntu | 00:21 |
| gway9000 | jjjjjfjjfjfj: k comes before u?? | 00:21 |
| Mechyuske | Right-o then. How, exactly, would I go about putting ubuntu onto an external HDD? Or, better yet, windows XP? When I tried to install xp I got a lengthy message about not being able to install onto a USB drive. | 00:21 |

| connor | mechyuske: in the install menu your usb drive SHOULD be on the menu | 00:22 |
| connor | oh ok | 00:22 |
| Jester45 | minutes* | 00:22 |
| Magicdead | RonLut: other than that i really have no idea how to find the problem except trial and error. | 00:22 |
| to0x | so quentusrex you're doing something wrong | 00:22 |
| Mechyuske | For ubuntu? All right, that's simple enough. | 00:22 |

| Mechyuske | I cannot get vista nor xp to install onto my external hdd. | 00:23 |
| connor | hmm | 00:23 |
| to0x | quentusrex: did you verify that the file is correctly created, have to good permissions? all these things | 00:23 |
| zangabar | More specifically, Windows XP is installed on sda5, and the Windows boot loader was installed onto sda2 | 00:24 |

| quentusrex | tell me how it's suppose to be done, just to double check to0x | 00:24 |
| connor | mechyuske: for my ubuntu install, i had to unplug my external hard drive to install to my internal | 00:24 |
| jant | quentusrex: i just did | 00:24 |
| quentusrex | chmod 600 authorized_keys ? | 00:24 |
| Mechyuske | XP doesn't let me choose a location. | 00:24 |
| tayfun | hey people i have xp home edition on my pc and now ubuntu too but i would like to control both of them in one packet how could i put my xp on my ubuntu ??? | 00:24 |
| connor | mechyuske: you install via a live cd | 00:24 |
| Mechyuske | And vista doesn't allow you to install to a usb drive. | 00:24 |
| SeaPhor | bibi__, no | 00:24 |
| connor | or wubi | 00:24 |
| Jordan_U | bibi__, Do you have windows installed? | 00:24 |
| connor | mechyuske: the live cd is the preferred install method | 00:24 |
| connor | because its much safer | 00:24 |
| Mechyuske | For ubuntu? | 00:25 |
| connor | yes | 00:25 |
| to0x | quentusrex: ssh log file in /var/log i guess | 00:25 |
| Mechyuske | I was talking about XP/Vista. I should be able to get ubuntu to install just fine. | 00:25 |
| Jordan_U | !wubi | bibi__ | 00:25 |
| ubottu | bibi__: Wubi is an Ubuntu installer for Windows users that allows you to install and uninstall Ubuntu like a Windows application, in a simple and safe way. http://wubi-installer.org/support.php for troubleshooting. Please file bugs at http://launchpad.net/wubi/+filebug. | 00:25 |

| to0x | quentusrex: the user@server have to read the authorized_keys file correctly | 00:25 |
| legend2440 | mattbradshaw: did you read section on uninstall ati? https://a248.e.akamai.net/f/674/9206/0/www2.ati.com/drivers/linux/linux_cat86-inst.html | 00:25 |
| tayfun | virtual box or vmarare ? i dont know what those means can u tell me step by step what should i install or set? | 00:26 |
| connor | bibi__: when i installed ubuntu on my old computer it left opensuse11 installed, i dont know why | 00:26 |
| to0x | aditya1: chmod -R 777 /templates/* | 00:26 |
| SeaPhor | bibi__, so you have a prepared place for it? | 00:26 |
| connor | bibi__: just try installing ubuntu | 00:26 |
| Jordan_U | bibi__, That can be done easily, just mark /dev/sda7 as '/' in the installer and make sure none of the others are marked to be reformatted ( they shouldn't be by default ) | 00:26 |
| aditya1 | to0x: thank you.....and why -R ? | 00:26 |
| beeant | Mechyuske: Microsoft does not like their OS on external drives. I have read a long web log on forcing XP to install but takes too much effort and its still unstable. | 00:26 |
| quentusrex | ok, I think one issue might be with my desktop hostname | 00:26 |
| julius | wormux | 00:27 |
| jant | quentusrex: like ? | 00:27 |
| to0x | aditya1: -R for recursive, it will give 777 file permissions to subdirectories | 00:27 |
| SeaPhor | bibi__, if that is the case then still no unless you also have prepared a swap space | 00:27 |
| quentusrex | my hostname in the id_rsa.pub file is: quentusrex@quentusrex-desktop | 00:27 |
| Flannel | aditya1: you probably don't want 777. You probably want a+rwX | 00:27 |
| bibi__ | Jordan_U: it insists that I partition my disk before I start installation | 00:28 |
| === m_newton is now known as m-bot2 | ||
| jant | quentusrex: no it doesn't matter | 00:28 |
| quentusrex | ok | 00:28 |
| Jordan_U | bibi__, Do manual partitioning, you don't have to remove your other partitions when you repartition | 00:28 |
| SeaPhor | bibi__, it will still alter existing partition table, which was your question | 00:29 |

| quentusrex | jant, my key is blacklisted | 00:31 |
| jant | aha | 00:32 |
| Starnestommy | aditya1: make sure that www-data can read and execute that file | 00:32 |
| to0x | aditya1: maybe you dont have the permisions to some directories before install.php, or maybe the wrong user owning these files | 00:32 |

| quentusrex | jant, it's already the newest version | 00:33 |
| bibi__ | Jordan_U: will try, I am online from another computer. | 00:33 |
| SeaPhor | bibi__, if you had set up for prior, then the partition table is "changed" but to the way you designed | 00:33 |
| to0x | how do you see your key is blacklisted? wtf | 00:33 |
| to0x | quentusrex | 00:33 |

| jant | quentusrex: then you ssh keys aren't updated where installed openssl | 00:35 |
| Magicdead | GoetzC: not sure, but: dir /proc/driver | 00:35 |
| bibi__ | SeaPhor: I do not care about other OS (if it is bootable afterwards or no). I just want to install ubuntu say on /dev/sda7 and preserve data thatas on /dev/sda8 withouth having to backup. | 00:35 |
| jant | quentusrex: anyway you should regenerate the blacklisted key | 00:36 |
| nickrud | quentusrex, do man ssh-vulnkey , it explains why your key is bad | 00:36 |

| julius | hi all | 00:39 |
| nickrud | Flannel, I thought I remembered installing it on this machine. | 00:40 |
| Flannel | NetEcho: No, but xchat is in universe, and irssi is in main | 00:40 |
| SeaPhor | well then if u are sure that /dev/sda7 is where you want it then yes, but you will need to partition for swap, which edits /changes your partition table, which was your question,,, as far as "and preserve data thatas on /dev/sda8 withouth having to backup." never a good idea to mess with partitions without backup | 00:40 |
| SliMM_ | hello | 00:40 |
| Flannel | NetEcho: and xchat-gnome is in main too, but most don't like that | 00:40 |

I want to install ubuntu on /dev/sda7 and I want all the data to be left untouched on /dev/sda8 (mount it later as my home directory).

| jant | thedefender: man usermod | 00:44 |

| Jordan_U | bibi__, Just select manual partitioning, make /dev/sda7 "/" and /dev/sda8 "/home" and make sure that /dev/sda8 is NOT marked to be reformatted | 00:44 |
| SeaPhor | bibi__, yes do-able, never advisable without backup,, but yes | 00:44 |

| ubottu | SeaPhor: Vai su #ubuntu-it se vuoi parlare in italiano, in questo canale usiamo solo l'inglese. Grazie! | 00:51 |
| GoetzC | <Magicdead> that is a good idea, in my intel box it works, but i have to see this in an ati box. Surly it works :) | 00:51 |
| legend2440 | GoetzC: do you have gnome-device-manager installed. it is in Applications>system tools if it is installed. that lists my ati driver as fglrx | 00:51 |
| julius | to0x play with me at wormux | 00:51 |
| to0x | julius tg crétin | 00:52 |
| SeaPhor | to0x, lol, nice, NOT me that needs ;-) | 00:52 |
| SeaPhor | read | 00:52 |
| Magicdead | GoetzC: well, lsmod as such works for sure, just not sure if ati is listed on the agpgart line as well ;) | 00:52 |
| julius | pq tg ? to0x | 00:52 |
| arooni-mobile | Pici, routes are exactly the same | 00:52 |
| tannji | can anyone tell me how to find the status of my kernel? I need alsa, but this readme says I need the full kernel source installed, and that some distros dont do that by default.... | 00:53 |
| GoetzC | <legend2440> i have this not installed, but I i'm downloading it :) | 00:53 |
| jamis | whats the standard source formatter for linux? | 00:53 |
| bibi__ | Jordan_U: SeaPhor: I removed installation CD. booted into existing system. fdisk shows two partitions. The installation CD I am using is ubuntu-8.04-alternate-i386.iso . What is the meaning of alternate here? | 00:53 |
| julius | to0x tu es francais? | 00:53 |
| Jordan_U | bibi__, Ahh, you are using the text based install CD rather than the LiveCD based install CD | 00:54 |
| quentusrex | jant, to0x if I want www-data to be able to remotely log into my remote server how would I do that? | 00:54 |
| quentusrex | I want www-data to login to my remote server using my username and keys | 00:54 |
| legend2440 | GoetzC: Magicdead is right lsmod has line like agpgart 34760 2 fglrx,amd64_agp which lists fglrx as my driver | 00:54 |
| bubaglobalJ | whats a good iso burner for mac os x? | 00:54 |
| julius | suisse | 00:54 |
| d3eniz | jordan_u, ok, now i tryed that aswell, it installs something and gives a sign that somethings beeing installed, but when i try to find vlc, there is nothing anywere in the applications menu | 00:54 |
| SeaPhor | bibi__, alternate cd has more config options in install | 00:54 |
| Magicdead | GoetzC: just checked, as long as it's an agp card, it should be there :) agpgart is a basic kernel module for agp cards | 00:54 |
| to0x | quentusrex why do you want to do that, it's a bit insecure | 00:55 |
| SeaPhor | and text based | 00:55 |
| GoetzC | <legend2440> oh, that is grate! | 00:55 |
| quentusrex | to0x, because I want svn to update my sandbox webserver whenever I post a new commit to my svn repo | 00:55 |
| mroc | hi all. i have gnome set up just the way i like it on my account. is there an easy way to duplicate these settings for another account? | 00:55 |
| quentusrex | the remote user account is very restrictive and protected. | 00:55 |
| quentusrex | it can only run a single command: svn update | 00:56 |
| mckaycr | trying to upgrade 8.04 over 6.06 via alt cd, keep getting prereqs failed error, any ideas? | 00:56 |
| GoetzC | <legend2440> so, that is the right way, also, in gnome-device-manager i have not found my driver. | 00:56 |
| bibi__ | SeaPhot: If I created some free space on my device, would I be able to install ubuntu there and mount already existing ext3 partitions afterwards? | 00:56 |
| to0x | quentusrex i guess there is an option in svn to do that | 00:56 |
| molgrum | how do i downgrade my nvidia drivers to work on 2.6.22-14-rt kernel? | 00:56 |
| TalioGladius | So I just discovered the awesomeness that is acidrip.....I'm so stoked now | 00:56 |
| ian__ | k, so tell me if i'm crazy here, but if i DELETE the xorg.conf and then user nvidia-xconfig and then reboot...that SHOULD get me into X right? | 00:56 |
| legend2440 | GoetzC: is it fglrx? | 00:56 |
| ian__ | cuz right now, when i do that, i get caught in the failsafe crap | 00:56 |
| ian__ | and even THEN nvidia-settings thinks i'm not in an nvidia X, probably because i'm in safe mode | 00:57 |
| Jordan_U | mroc, All options are in configuration files in your home folder, ~/.gconf is where the gnome ( and other ) settings are stored, you can copy them to your other user's home folder and change the ownership to that other user | 00:57 |
| mroc | Jordan_U: fantastic! thank you. is it just as easy for compiz settings as well? | 00:58 |
| GoetzC | <legend2440> i have right know only an intel box to check, but it should work with lsmod :) | 00:58 |
| CelticLord | nuuuuiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiittttttttt !!!!!!!!!!!1 | 00:58 |
| Jordan_U | mroc, Yes, pretty much everything in *NIX is saved in plain text files :) | 00:58 |
| Magicdead | GoetzC: well if it doesn't you can still do just "lsmod" and look through the whole text, but it's a little long ;) | 00:59 |
| suprfish | Hi, I am having screen resolution problems, I was wondering if anyone could help: http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=842856 | 00:59 |

| bibi__ | SeaPhor: If I created some free space on my device, would I be able to install ubuntu there and mount already existing ext3 partitions afterwards? | 00:59 |
| Khisanth | arooni-mobile: you can check with 'dig @192.168.0.1 yahoo.com' if there is one it should return pretty quickly, if not it will hang around for a while | 00:59 |
| legend2440 | GoetzC: its kind of tricky in device manager. you have to click View>Device properties then highlight VGA Controller then click properties tab on top of right window | 00:59 |
| the_hardy_kid | hello? | 00:59 |
| Jordan_U | mroc, If you want to transfer all of your settings for all of your user's applications then copy all of the files and folders which begin with '.' in your home folder | 00:59 |
| GoetzC | <Magicdead> yes it is long, hehe. | 01:00 |
| Magicdead | GoetzC: but the driver also has a single line entry, for instance for me "nvidia 7105956 34 " | 01:00 |

| suprfish | FurryNemesis, any suggestions? | 01:02 |
| FurryNemesis | let me look at those xorgs a bit closer | 01:02 |
| Jordan_U | Blaqlight, Wow, you sure you aren't mixing Fahrenheit with Celsius ? | 01:02 |
| Blaqlight | umm nope | 01:03 |
| Ballena | is there a way to get rid of the .sudo_as_admin_successful for ever? | 01:03 |

| monkeyBox | What "runlevel" does ubuntu start in by default? | 01:03 |
| GoetzC | <Magicdead> if I do a "lsmod |grep intel" there is a intel_agp and a agpgart. | 01:03 |
| suprfish | FurryNemesis, the latest xorg.conf is on post #11 with the commented Screen and Monitor sections uncommented | 01:03 |

| FurryNemesis | looking at it now | 01:04 |
| Blaqlight | celcius is for all other countries but the US. cuz we special I guess or something. | 01:04 |
| MidnightDevil | u just dont use the same math as we do | 01:04 |
| SeaPhor | bibi__, ok, example only!,,, i have a 160gb hd mounted as /home,, another 160gb hd mounted as /var, which are both in the file-system | 01:04 |
| Magicdead | GoetzC: well it always depends on the system. if it's a pci card, probably "lsmod |grep pci" would work :P | 01:05 |
| MidnightDevil | neither the binary structure is the same :d | 01:05 |
| ntolo | My mysql database was running a moment ago and now when i try to start it is fails.Any help would be appreciated. | 01:05 |
| Blaqlight | what!?!?! you mean 1+2=4? | 01:05 |

| FurryNemesis | suprfish, what is that "virtual" line in the screen section supposed to do? | 01:06 |
| bibi__ | SeaPhor: I have both partitions on the same hd. I guess my only option is to make the actual backup. | 01:06 |
| popey | t35t0r: I'm working on it :) | 01:06 |
| arooni_ | Khisanth, got it working | 01:07 |
| quentusrex | does the user www-data have a password set? | 01:07 |

| planetxmail | quent: NO there is no reason for it to have one | 01:08 |
| suprfish | FurryNemesis: I am not certain, is that the res for the 'cloned' monitor? | 01:09 |

| orphean | I have a usb wireless adapter that I just setup (via ndiswrapper) ndiswrapper -l shows the driver is installed and the device is present. However, network-manager-gnome doesn't show any wireless networks at all.

| nickrud | lensy run sudo apt-get -f install , and if it fails, you're going to look for post-installation script failed, or pre-install script failed, and let me know what it was | 01:47 |

| piff | Noob: Yes, including DNS | 01:47 |
| Jester45 | lensy: you can use the web in text, the web is just fancy text to begin with but pastebinit is a program that will auto paste for you and give a url as output | 01:47 |
| lensy | if i were to re-install ubuntu 8.04 over linux 7.10 using a standard CD | 01:48 |

| Danish989 | Jack_Sparrow: thank you :) | 02:23 |
| Danish989 | I think because of this ubuntu channel, even if I have a problem that's really small, I don't bother looking around because I feel like coming here and asking someone | 02:24 |
| Jack_Sparrow | Any time, I like the easy questions | 02:24 |
| Magicdead | tannji: either that or give the full path to the file to the tar command. tar /path/to/file.tar | 02:24 |
| Danish989 | on windows I would usually google, but I don't even think about that because of #ubuntu, hehe | 02:24 |
| ImMelody | Anyone have any idea what might have happened or how to fix it? | 02:24 |
| tannji | Magic: I thot so... but I am not quite up to speed on determining paths yet, or using cd to get where I want to | 02:25 |
| tannji | my driver is downloaded and extracted in a folder on the desktop | 02:25 |
| nickrud | tannji then cd ~/Desktop , ls , cd <dir> | 02:26 |
| tannji | if I get properties of that folder, that would tell me the path? | 02:26 |

| nickrud | amireldor_ you should recommend sudo -i, stays within the ubuntu security model | 02:28 |

| chalcedony | does anyone know the magic steps to get a laptop to see the www again? it's running Gutsy. | 02:30 |
| Starnestommy | tannji: interactive mode | 02:30 |

| nickrud | tannji gives you an interactive sudo terminal, you don't have to type sudo for each command. Type exit when done | 02:30 |

| amirman84 | i checked wikipedia but the information there is too convulated to make sense to me. what is the real difference between cat5 and cat6? is there one of these i should NOT get for connecting a hard drive enclosure to my wireless router? | 02:46 |
| craigbass1976 | Jordan_U, and don't really feel like reinstalling | 02:46 |
| Jordan_U | craigbass1976, Then just do "update-manager" do NOT put a -d at the end | 02:46 |
| DIL | craigbass1976: -d = checks for the latest release | 02:46 |
| chalcedony | cpare: what he has is: ASUS M3N78-EMH HDMI | 02:46 |
| craigbass1976 | Jordan_U, update-manager wasn't giving me the option to upgrade | 02:46 |

| gogi` | summary of my problem: I have XP installed in one hdd and I just installed ubuntu in another hdd. I went through the setup process and all but when grub comes up and asks what I want to load and I select ubuntu it gives me an error 22 | 02:49 |
| gogi` | I've tried booting from the live CD and doing the sudo grub , find blah/stage1 , root (hd0,1) , setup (hd0) | 02:50 |
| Starnestommy | gogi`: you probably have grub set to use the wrong partitions | 02:50 |
| gogi` | according to the forum posts I've found that should solve the problem! but it doesn't | 02:50 |
| xenoglossia | I'm dual-booting Win2K and Ubuntu 8.04, and (after fooling around with a Live USB), I get this error message when I try to boot into Windows via GRUB: http://paste.ubuntu.com/23323/. I'm told that I replaced the Windows bootloader with Syslinux (by the way, I'm a total novice with Linux). I don't have my Windows CD anymore. Is there anything I can do? | 02:50 |
| craigbass1976 | DIL, again, why isn't this stuff on the site I posted... weird. the dist-upgrade would have been a lot easier than all the GUI farting around | 02:51 |
| gogi` | Starnestommy: how would I go about setting it to use the right partitions? | 02:51 |
| gogi` | It's really kind of frustrating because I thought ubuntu was supposed to be idiot-proof :( | 02:51 |
| Magicdead | acid-trip: well it seems there are no options for that package, at least the command doesn't do anything for me either ;) | 02:51 |
| SeaPhor | Starnestommy, what is the cmd for updating the sources, or extras,, sorry having a hrd time remembering | 02:51 |
| Jordan_U | xenoglossia, Yes, you can either try to get grub working or install the windows bootloader from ubuntu with the ms-sys package | 02:51 |
| amireldor_ | xenoglossia, seems like you messed up something in /boot | 02:51 |
| Starnestommy | SeaPhor: sudo apt-get update? | 02:51 |
| cpare | <---- Needs help getting his SATA DVD to work in Hardy x64 Server | 02:52 |
| boaz | I have 4 hard drives. I want to reinstall Ubuntu on one drive, and put Windows XP on a different drive, so as to be able to dual boot. However, since I have been experimenting with Ubuntu, XP does not recognize that my hard drives exist. Any advice as to what I need to do to accomplish this goal? | 02:52 |
| Jordan_U | xenoglossia, Syslinux is usually only used for liveCD / liveDVD's so I would try installing GRUB first | 02:52 |
| Magicdead | ImMelody: but you better ask someone else about your ndiswrapper problem | 02:53 |
| xenoglossia | Great, thanks! I'll look into ms-sys, but in the meanwhile, how would I go about fixing grub? Should I reinstall grub? | 02:53 |
| DIL | boaz | 02:53 |
| chalcedony | cpare: i appreciate your help very much .. maybe nobody is here right now that knows about your problem | 02:53 |
| Jordan_U | xenoglossia, It seems that you don't have grub installed in the first place, you have syslinux installed | 02:53 |
| DIL | boaz:are they formatted - xp may not see ext3 | 02:54 |
| cpare | chalcedony: Looks that way | 02:54 |
| SeaPhor | Starnestommy, yes but was more,,, and i cant remember, was for restricted drivers and multiverse stuff, i'm sorry i should have noted it | 02:54 |
| cpare | chalcedony: I am gonna end up fighting it on my own | 02:54 |
| Jordan_U | xenoglossia, How did you install Ubuntu? | 02:54 |
| xenoglossia | Well when I turn on my computer, I get the grub menu, and I can boot into Ubuntu just fine, but I can't boot into Windows | 02:54 |
| cpare | chalcedony: But there are always forums :) | 02:54 |
| chalcedony | cpare: i'd suggest trying tomorrow during the day (usa) and probably monday.. you want the guys who work in it | 02:54 |
| nuno_nunes | HI PPL | 02:54 |
| xenoglossia | Jordan_U, I installed Ubuntu via Live CD | 02:55 |
| chalcedony | cpare: there are often very knwledgable people around | 02:55 |
| xenoglossia | . . . if that's what you mean . . . :) | 02:55 |
| cpare | chalcedony: Thanks | 02:55 |
| boaz | DIL, two are formatted for ext3. Two are former phony raid drives, formatted for RAID. | 02:55 |
| gogi` | so uhm...anyone...grub problem? | 02:56 |
| KRaZy_WaKa | wols_ ok i totally killed my ubuntu install now it wont boot but windows still does, i'm ready to dual-boot the easy way | 02:56 |
| DIL | boaz:xp will not see ext3 | 02:56 |
| chalcedony | the darned laptop lost it's wifi connection again.. and that was what i was trying to restore | 02:56 |
| Jordan_U | xenoglossia, Is Windows on a separate drive? | 02:56 |
| cpare | <---- Needs help getting his SATA DVD to work in Hardy x64 Server | 02:56 |
| gogi` | please....pretty please....? | 02:56 |
| evanwang | XP can see ext3 | 02:56 |
| chalcedony | cpare: what have you done so far on it? the cd/dvd wasn't that hard to do on my husband's | 02:57 |
| boaz | DIL, if I make new partitions, but don't format them, will XP see them then? | 02:57 |
| chalcedony | gogi`: it works best if you say what the problem IS | 02:57 |
| gogi` | chalcedony I did earlier, but here it is again: I have XP installed in one hdd and I just installed ubuntu in another hdd. I went through the setup process and all but when grub comes up and asks what I want to load and I select ubuntu it gives me an error 22 | 02:58 |
| DIL | boaz: i did not think xp could see ext3 file system nut evanwang is saying otherwise | 02:58 |
| gogi` | I've tried booting from the live CD and doing the sudo grub , find blah/stage1 , root (hd0,1) , setup (hd0) | 02:58 |
| gogi` | but it doesn't fix anything | 02:58 |
| Starnestommy | gogi`: you'll need to change the root settings in /boot/grub/menu.lst | 02:58 |
| xenoglossia | Jordan_U, I repartitioned my hard drive, yes. If it helps, here is the output of sudo fdisk -l: http://paste.ubuntu.com/23415 | 02:58 |
| chalcedony | :) | 02:58 |
| Jordan_U | boaz, You can get windows to read write to ext3 with http://www.fs-driver.org/ | 02:59 |
| Magicdead | xenoglossia: http://www.gnu.org/software/grub/manual/grub.html#DOS_002fWindows maybe this helps :) | 02:59 |
| evanwang | we can use software names explorer2fs | 02:59 |
| * DIL but not nut | 02:59 | |
| gogi` | Starnestommy, I'm pretty dumb at this stuff...do you think you could tell me exactly how I do that, and what I change it to :) | 02:59 |
| gogi` | I booted back into XP, so I'll have to go back into the live cd to do it | 03:00 |
| boaz | Jordan_U, can Ubuntu read NTFS file system? | 03:00 |
| Starnestommy | gogi`: you'll also need to replace (hd0,1) with (hd<hard-disk-number>,<partition-number>) | 03:00 |
| xenoglossia | Magicdead, Thanks! | 03:00 |
| Magicdead | boaz: it can | 03:00 |
| Starnestommy | gogi`: i.e. (hd2,6) for disk 2 partition 6 | 03:00 |
| DIL | boaz: with ntfs3g | 03:00 |
| th0r | Starnestommy, I think disk2 partition6 would be hd1,5 | 03:01 |
| Jordan_U | boaz, Yes | 03:01 |
| gogi` | Okay... | 03:01 |
| gogi` | I will try do to that | 03:01 |
| gogi` | Oh, how would I even edit the file? | 03:01 |
| gogi` | Is there a notepad type thing around...lol | 03:01 |
| xenoglossia | Jordan_U, do you think installing ms-sys will help? | 03:02 |

| Mechyuske | All right, so I installed ubuntu on an external HDD, and it boots up fine on my desktop. But when I boot it on my laptop, it says operating system not detected. How do I fix this? | 03:08 |
| boaz | Which desktop has the largest user base? gnome or kde? | 03:08 |
| Jordan_U | xenoglossia, I am not sure, do you have your bootable USB drive plugged in when you try to boot windows? | 03:08 |
| Jordan_U | boaz, I would guess gnome | 03:08 |
| xenoglossia | Jordan_U, no. I have nothing plugged in. Also, apparently, ms-sys was removed due to copyright infringement. | 03:09 |

| chalcedony | MrLinux-: ouch | 03:21 |
| ImMelody | Okay.. I forgot who was helping me before, but that didn't work.. But I have a feeling the reason it didn't work is because I still have no wireless drivers. | 03:21 |
| nickrud | himynameis ok, close all the terminals, then ctl-alt-f2, log in, then type gconftool --recursive-unset /apps/gnome-terminal . Then ctl-alt-f7 to get back. That resets all the gnome-terminal settings. Seems likely that you're using white text on white background | 03:21 |
| gogi` | There is no 'linux partition' button :( | 03:21 |
| Magicdead | bsusa: either do compiz --replace & and emerald --replace & or hit CTRL+Alt+Backspace | 03:21 |
| chalcedony | MrLinux-: did you google that error? | 03:21 |
| __yy_ | gogi`: you need to mount it | 03:21 |

| gogi` | would it just be mount /dev/sda2 ? | 03:22 |
| ScottLij | MrLinux, did you try doing 'sudo apt-get upgrade'? | 03:22 |
| Magicdead | ImMelody: i was helping you with the sound. but i can't help you with ndiswrapper, sorry | 03:22 |
| ImMelody | alright | 03:23 |
| __yy | gogi`: mount /dev/sda2 /some/empty/folder | 03:23 |
| nickrud | gogi` sudo mount /dev/sda2 /mnt , then it should be at /mnt/boot/grub/menu.lst | 03:23 |

| chalcedony | it works on both linux and windows | 03:24 |

| ubottu | medibuntu is a repository of packages that cannot be included into the Ubuntu distribution for legal reasons - See http://www.medibuntu.org | 03:25 |
| gogi` | I did exactly: ubuntu@ubuntu:~$ sudo mount /dev/sda2 /mnt but there's nothing in /mnt | 03:25 |
| ray_ | or save to somthing to play in windows system | 03:25 |
| ray_ | i have ubuntu 8 | 03:25 |
| nickrud | gogi` did you get an error? | 03:25 |
| gogi` | no error | 03:25 |
| chalcedony | ray_: i had to scroll way back to find your actual question | 03:25 |
| ray_ | chalcedony understand now | 03:25 |
| nickrud | gogi` ls /mnt | 03:25 |
| ray_ | i reposted it | 03:25 |
| gogi` | nickrud: sorry? /mnt is empty when I browse to it | 03:26 |
| mtx1 | when installing grub i try find /boot/grub/stage1 and get Error 15: File not found i have been searching and trying stuff for 4 hrs now and cannot get grub installed, when i reinstall ubuntu it comes up with the same exact problem again. anyone know what would be causing this? | 03:26 |
| ray_ | chalcedony any idea for me? | 03:26 |
| keithclark | Why would my On Demand indicator only be at 45% or 1 GHz all the time? | 03:26 |
| chalcedony | ray_: tell us which of these comes close: http://www.google.com/search?hl=en&client=opera&rls=en&hs=XZ5&q=avi+ubuntu+hardy&btnG=Search | 03:26 |
| nickrud | gogi` try mount , that will list all the mounts. Make sure that sda2 is mounted on mount. If it is, and ls /mnt shows nothing, then there's nothing in the dir | 03:26 |
| andy_ | has anyone else had their usb ports not work right on 64 bit hardy? | 03:27 |
| bsusa | Magicdead: Do i enter that where it says "Command" or "Decoration Windows"? | 03:27 |
| nickrud | gogi` s/dir/partition/ | 03:27 |
| gogi` | when I type mount I get a line saying "/dev/sda2 on /mnt type ext3 (rw)" | 03:27 |
| PPKuma | hi, what does win+n and win+m do? | 03:27 |
| andy_ | PPKuma, it depends | 03:28 |
| nickrud | gogi` good. Now, ls /mnt . If there's nothing there, there's nothing on partition /dev/sda2 | 03:28 |
| __yy | PPKuma: press them and find out? | 03:28 |
| KRaZy_WaKa | i am trying to dual boot i have windows on my slave drive and installed it after ubuntu, what i am wondering is if i either reinstall ubuntu on my primary master will it eliminate my dual-boot grub problems? hoping to redo it the easy way without having to reinstall both | 03:28 |
| ray_ | chalcedony not sure i have avi i need to save as video one edit them fot windows system not sure | 03:28 |
| Magicdead | bsusa: let me check | 03:28 |
| andy_ | Krazy, you probably wanted to install windows xp first | 03:28 |
| KRaZy_WaKa | or can i do a repair install on ubuntu? if so how could i do that? | 03:28 |
| PPKuma | __yy: the screen turns black, i want to know what kind of feature is thi and where i can configure it | 03:28 |
| gogi` | no there's stuff there... | 03:28 |
| PPKuma | andy_ depends on what? | 03:28 |
| gogi` | oh wtf... | 03:28 |
| ray_ | chalcedony what recamend for me on ubuntu 8 | 03:28 |
| __yy | KRaZy_WaKa: ubuntu is pretty good about detecting windows and putting an option in the grub menu | 03:29 |
| gogi` | uh in terminal it sees lotsa things | 03:29 |
| andy_ | What you set them to. You can key binding | 03:29 |
| Magicdead | bsusa: enter "/usr/bin/emerald --replace" into command, yes (without the quotes, of course) | 03:29 |
| andy_ | shit wiath | 03:29 |
| nickrud | gogi` try browsing there again | 03:29 |
| andy_ | wait... Like for me they are my maximize and minimize buttons from compiz | 03:29 |
| Kira | I just installed the freenx server. I try to add a user to the nxserver, but it tells me that that permission is denied to ~/.ssh/authorized_keys2 | 03:29 |
| chalcedony | ray_: is there a ubuntu channel for the language you speak? | 03:29 |
| Kira | the command was already invoked with sudo. What's going on? | 03:29 |
| gogi` | ahh now it's working | 03:29 |
| gogi` | so weird | 03:29 |
| ray_ | chalcedony im a disability person and in usa | 03:30 |
| ray_ | sorry | 03:30 |
| gogi` | I think I was just being dumb | 03:30 |
| chalcedony | ray_: me too | 03:30 |
| JerseyMonkey-S | Can anyone help me get Japanese text through terminal? | 03:30 |
| chalcedony | :) | 03:30 |
| nickrud | gogi` after you mounted it, you need to browse away and back. Nautilus was still looking at the empty /mnt | 03:30 |
| andy_ | anyway, krazy, you can't really get back to ubuntu if you installed it before xp unless you replace the MBR XP setup with grub | 03:30 |
| === steven is now known as sayers | ||
| gogi` | ooh okay | 03:30 |
| gogi` | Thanks nickrud | 03:30 |
| nickrud | !fixmbr | 03:30 |
| __yy | Kira: sounds like root doesn't have read permission on that file | 03:30 |
| 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 | 03:30 |
| ray_ | chalcedony o ok what recamend for my to use what program? | 03:30 |
| KRaZy_WaKa | __yy yeah i'm aware of that, i messed it up and did it backwards and made it worse than it was when i installed windows | 03:30 |
| gogi` | Okay so when I'm editing the menu.lst file | 03:31 |
| gogi` | Do I just want to change the part that says root (hd0,1) or what... | 03:31 |
| bsusa | Magicdead: Ok, now how do i restart compiz/gnone, u mean just reboot pc? | 03:31 |
| Kira | __yy: well, to begin with, authorized_keys2 never existed in ~/.ssh; and ~/.ssh is owned by root:root anyway. | 03:31 |
| gogi` | according to fdisk -l my linux drive is in /dev/sda2 | 03:31 |
| andy_ | ctrl + alt + backspace | 03:31 |
| nickrud | gogi` so you should see boot in /mnt , so cd /mnt/boot/grub , ls . You should see the menu.lst | 03:32 |
| ray_ | chalcedony still here with me? | 03:32 |
| gogi` | nickrud: I'm looking at the file now in Notepad | 03:32 |
| dunas | Is there an apt-get for Java Plugins for Firefox? | 03:32 |
| ne0sonic | . | 03:32 |
| nickrud | gogi` notepad!!! | 03:32 |
| gogi` | I'm just not sure what I need to change | 03:32 |
| nickrud | gogi` you mean gedit I hope. | 03:32 |
| nickrud | gogi` or Text Editor | 03:32 |
| gogi` | um...I typed notepad in the terminal and it gave me a command to install wine | 03:33 |
| gogi` | and then notepad came with it? | 03:33 |
| gogi` | lol | 03:33 |
| __yy | KRaZy_WaKa: what I meant was as long as windows is installed now you should be able to reinstall ubuntu over the current ubuntu install and have your boot menu fixed automagically .. that will work | 03:33 |
| nickrud | gogi` don't use notepad, that doesn't handle unix text files correctly | 03:33 |
| ray_ | chalcedony still with me? | 03:33 |
| nickrud | gogi` the editor of choice (equiv of notepad) is gedit | 03:33 |
| gogi` | ok I'm installing that now | 03:33 |
| Josdell | Hey guys, I want to know, are Fingerprint Readers compatible with Ubuntu 8.04 | 03:34 |
| nickrud | gogi` should already be installed | 03:34 |
| gogi` | um...it wasn't | 03:34 |
| bsusa | ok i just done a ctrl+alt+backspace nothing changed when i went back into compiz and emerald. | 03:34 |
| gogi` | the terminal told me to install it | 03:34 |
| Chikubu | what is the multimedia program with the best view and management of your library? opinions? | 03:34 |
| gogi` | remember just inside the Live CD right now | 03:34 |
| nickrud | gogi` and about fixing your grub, I'm not sure what you need to do. And yes, gedit comes with the live cd | 03:34 |
| andy_ | what kind of multimedia? like music mostly? | 03:34 |
| chalcedony | ray_: sorry my son phoned | 03:34 |
| __yy | Josdell: depends entirely on the specific fingerprint reader... but my guess is most are probably not supported | 03:34 |
| KRaZy_WaKa | __yy thats what i was hoping to hear lol thanx alot | 03:34 |
| ray_ | chalcedony its ok what program can i use for what i want to do? | 03:35 |
| KRaZy_WaKa | any way i could do a repair install so i dont lose my settings? | 03:35 |
| Josdell | __yy: alright, i'll look up some thanks though bye | 03:35 |
| chalcedony | ray_: i'm the mother of a linux geek | 03:35 |
| gogi` | hmm well i'm looking at it in gedit now | 03:35 |
| cafree | Anyone know if there's much of a performance gain with lvm striping? | 03:35 |
| Olgem | Josdell, I've heard that there wont be much luck getting them working, but then again - I'm not sure if hardware biometric auth is the best solution, I'd rather have full disk encryption | 03:35 |
| ray_ | chalcedony o okj | 03:35 |
| gogi` | still don't really know what to do .... :S | 03:35 |

| nickrud | KRaZy_WaKa you need to set the ubuntu hard disk as primary drive. Then boot a live CD. Then set up the working environment, and chroot into the ubuntu install. At that point you can run sudo update-grub && sudo grub-install hd0 or (hd0) don't remember exactly off hand | 03:58 |
| greenthumb | i am running into a hang up when i actually run the patch | 03:58 |
| Chikubu | i wanna set a tar to run to archive my stuff, i just want the user folders backed up and the stuff symantic has in its cache, where is it's cache? | 03:58 |
| nickrud | KRaZy_WaKa give me a chance to fix that page so it's legible | 03:58 |
| Steve_ | greenthumb, i have injection up on my b43 | 03:59 |
| Chikubu | in var someplce> | 03:59 |
| Chikubu | ? not > | 03:59 |
| KRaZy_WaKa | nickrud: i tried the liveCD grub reinstall method/added a windows stanza to menu.lst and i got grub back but couldnt boot to windows, so i changed the boot sequence back to slave first (which is how it was when i installed windows) and did the liveCD method again, thats what got me to the grub> command line when booting from ubuntu drive first | 03:59 |
| KRaZy_WaKa | nickrud: tried the working environment and all that to fix it already and it didn't work, but maybe i did something wrong due to that page being screwy | 04:00 |
| greenthumb | Steve: i run the patch command "sudo patch -pl < b43-injection-2.6.24.4.patch" and then it asks what file i want to patch and i have no idea what to put | 04:00 |
| nickrud | KRaZy_WaKa yes! There's a special thing you have to do to boot windows off the slave drive. You have to convince windows that's running on the primary drive. Get back the ubuntu boot, and I'll help you finish up the windows boot | 04:00 |
| nickrud | KRaZy_WaKa you were going in exactly the right direction, just didn't know about the finicky windows boot | 04:01 |
| KRaZy_WaKa | nickrud: i can't get ubuntu to boot now, i'm so utterly confused at this point lol | 04:01 |
| Steve_ | greenthumb, try "sudo patch -p1 < b43-injection-2.6.24.4.patch" | 04:01 |
| nickrud | KRaZy_WaKa use the live cd grub reinstall method, get back to the point where ubuntu boots but windows doesn't. You went in the wrong direction after you had that working | 04:01 |
| greenthumb | Steve: i do that and then am prompted to enter a file to patch | 04:02 |
| KRaZy_WaKa | nickrud: ok will do, i will be back momentarily | 04:03 |

| Steve_ | greenthumb; you need to use the correct -pN parameter | 04:03 |
| spamoom | I've navigated to a page where the text "Use of the alsa-oss library is recommended over the use of OSS-emulation drivers if you want to use ALSA's PCM plugin layer. " is on (alsa-oss). I can't for the life of me find the OSS-emulation drivers it mentions XD. Could someone give me some help? | 04:03 |
| greenthumb | Steve: result is "can't find file to patch at input line 7" | 04:03 |

| michel | alguem aÍ fala portugues do Brasil? | 04:05 |
| greenthumb | Steve: ok, i have no idea then | 04:05 |
| michel | tem alguem brasileiro aí? | 04:06 |
| Steve_ | greenthumb, have you read the patch, put it in the appropriate directory and used the correct command? | 04:06 |
| menininho | michel, sim | 04:06 |
| greenthumb | Steve: ahh, i have not. i did not know that | 04:06 |
| greenthumb | Steve: THanks, will do. that will probably clear it up then. reading is always the solution, the hard part is knowing where to read. | 04:07 |
| Steve_ | greenthumb, you are patching linux for b43 injection support? | 04:07 |
| greenthumb | Steve: yes that is correct | 04:08 |
| greenthumb | Steve: what am i looking for in the patch? | 04:08 |
| keithclark | Ok, I have no choice but to switch back to XP here. My poor laptop runs at 100% cpu usage and it is throttled at 45% processor power. I've tried everything but to no avail. Thanks for trying, those that have! | 04:09 |
| Steve_ | greenthumb, how many directories the patch will traverse. This is where you get the number for "patch -p0 -p1 -p2 etc.." | 04:10 |
| keithclark | Someone please make sure that Compaq R4000 makes it into the NOT compatible list | 04:10 |
| greenthumb | Steve: Ok, so i need to figure out where it will be going then. | 04:10 |

| SrgSantos54 | hello to all | 04:13 |
| greenthumb | Steve: ok, i'll give it a shot | 04:13 |
| dirtbag | WalloO: No. 7950 GTX its on a laptop. | 04:13 |
| WalloO | dirtbag, haaaaa... ok. Maybe give try to nvclock | 04:13 |
| keithclark | __yy, I'm only trying to warn. Choose to ignore and have a system like mine. Users choice. | 04:13 |
| dirtbag | WalloO: Ok will do. Thanks | 04:14 |
| ash7 | which is the place to discuss screenlets dev | 04:15 |
| WalloO | dirtbag, it's in ubuntu just sudo apt-get install nvclock | 04:15 |
| greenthumb | Steve: what slashes am i counting? | 04:16 |
| pppoe_dude | hi, does it matter if my computer shutdown improperly and without unmounting volumes after installing hardy and getting the 'do you want to reboot' message | 04:16 |

| rootyrooty | Hi, I am getting little font boxen for funny characters. I have installed the msfonts, any ideas? | 04:17 |
| Steve_ | greenthumb: The patch file has a target file listed in the beginning of the file | 04:17 |
| greenthumb | Steve: got it, there is ---linux-2.6.24.4/driver/net/wireless/b43/main.c, so that would be -p5 | 04:18 |
| Steve_ | Is there anyone here who's a developer? | 04:19 |
| Chikubu | if there a way to tell synaptic or aptitude to give priority to one source over another? i am gonna use aptoncd to take all my updates to another machine, and i DON'T want the machine to redownload, i want it to use local resources | 04:19 |
| Chikubu | is there a way i meant | 04:19 |
| gooody | how can i access memory card from a camera? i want to reformat the memory card. | 04:19 |
| WalloO | Steve_: It'S pretty sure there are some | 04:19 |

| greenthumb | ok | 04:19 |
| nogagplz | turn off the sources that link to the outside world Chikubu? | 04:19 |
| Ryuho | dsa | 04:19 |
| ash7 | gooody: do you have a memory card reader ? | 04:20 |

| gooody | ash7: am i going to install the gnome partition manager? | 04:22 |
| ash7 | gooody: GParted | 04:23 |
| Steve_ | greenthumb, if you placed the patch in /usr/src/linux, a $ patch -p4 < b43-injection-2.6.24.4.patch , would presumably work. | 04:23 |
| gooody | ash7: ok. thanks for the help. i'll try GParted. | 04:24 |
| greenthumb | Steve, ok, i'm digging away here trying to find some reference material, thanks for the help | 04:24 |
| Steve_ | greenthumb, did you try my command? | 04:24 |

| nadalizadeh | Anybody knows where can i download an official release of 2.6.17-generic kernel from ubuntu ? | 04:27 |
| nadalizadeh | it deletes the old packages from archive.ubuntu.com | 04:27 |
| Steve_ | greenthumb, hehe. just write in what file to patch, and you should be over that | 04:27 |
| greenthumb | steve: that's the problem, i'm not sure what file, is there are three paths listed in the patch the first line starts with 'diff' then '---' then '+++' | 04:29 |
| xenoglossia | Hi again! I'm dual-booting Win2K and Ubuntu 8.04, and (after fooling around with a Live USB), I get this error message when I try to boot into Windows via GRUB: http://paste.ubuntu.com/23323/. I can however boot into Ubuntu. I'm told that I replaced the Windows bootloader with Syslinux (by the way, I'm a total novice with Linux). I don't have my Windows CD anymore. Is there anything I can do? | 04:30 |
| dirtbag | WalloO: Do you use Nvclock? | 04:30 |
| Steve_ | greenthumb, just try them all, it has to work | 04:31 |
| WalloO | dirtbag, yes. I even patched it to report temperature for 8800GT correctely... :) | 04:31 |
| krovividi | can anyone guide me with setting-up kiba-dock on hardy? | 04:31 |
| dirtbag | WalloO: Cool! | 04:32 |
| WalloO | dirtbag, in fact to report temperature on my desktop, I use Watermark screenlet (which uses nvclock). This is a screenlet I made. | 04:33 |
| Steve_ | greenthumb, do a $ sudo patch -p0 < b43-injection-2.6.24.4.patch, followed by a $ sudo patch -p1 < b43-injection-2.6.24.4.patch and so on.. | 04:34 |

| RedHatMatt | xenoglossia: unfortunately, you will probably need an xp disk. But someone here may know how to configure grub to recognise the windows partition. | 04:36 |
| greenthumb | Steve: I imagine that I am patching the broadcom driver, right? so if i find the path to the driver then i enter that at the prompt. does that sound right? | 04:37 |

| dirtbag | WalloO: Does Watermarks run screenlets, or do screenlets run Watermarks? | 04:52 |
| xenoglossia | RedHatMatt, Okay, so, would reinstalling an mbr (lilo -M /dev/sdx (a la http://www.pendrivelinux.com/2008/05/15/usb-ubuntu-804-persistent-install-from-linux/)) help? | 04:52 |

| === foo_ is now known as Gralco_ | ||
| thingfish | instabin: I guess you'd apt-get install it | 04:52 |
| instabin | yea i did | 04:53 |

| RedHatMatt | xenoglossia: Maybe. The mbr needs to point to a bootloader that knows how to boot your windows partition (assuming you didn't accidentally delete it.) The fdisk /mbr from a windows boot disk should also do the trick. | 04:55 |
| seth__ | thank you i will check that out | 04:55 |
| crashsystems | voice in pidgin? woot! | 04:55 |
| cannon | Thanks for nothing again. | 04:56 |
| Drod | my external HDD is fat32 but I wanted to accept files >4gb, which one should I choose ext2 or ext3? I wanted to be readable within windows too | 04:56 |
| xenoglossia | RedHatMatt, Provided I didn't accidentally delete my Windows bootloader, how would I find it? | 04:56 |
| unavailable | redhatmatt there's a program out there called bootpart that lets you use ntldr as your boot manager for linux | 04:56 |
| nogagplz | oohm, that does look good Steve_, thanks too :P | 04:56 |
| Gralco | sd | 04:56 |
| crashsystems | drod: I'd pick ext3 | 04:56 |
| Drod | crashsystems, thanks, any chance gparted or something else would allow me to choose ntfs, I dont see it in the options from gparted | 04:57 |
| crashsystems | there is a driver for using ext partitions in windows, though journeying will not function in windows. | 04:57 |
| unavailable | zenoglossia if you cant boot to windows, that means that grub wrote to the mbr, and you lost the part that says "go to this drive for windows" your windows disk will be really handy right now | 04:57 |
| instabin | how do you get the default firefox 3 theme | 04:57 |
| Ziroday | How do I exit from the livecd? | 04:57 |
| crashsystems | I've never been able to format ntfs in gparted, though I can read it inubuntu | 04:57 |
| crashsystems | ziroday: just shut down | 04:58 |
| unavailable | redhatmatt look for dual boot linux ntldr bootpart | 04:58 |
| RedHatMatt | unavailable: xenoglossia's problem is that she installed ubuntu from a cd and wanted to dual boot, but now grub won't boot windows xp. | 04:58 |
| Ziroday | crashsystems: how?, the power button the top right has no 'shutdown' option | 04:58 |
| killemall | how can i update my ubuntu 8.04 kernel from a usb stick? the system doesnt have network right now? | 04:58 |
| unavailable | redhatmatt | 04:58 |
| unavailable | yep | 04:58 |
| Drod | crashsystems...thanks..I want this external HDD to hold my virtual machines (solaris, ubuntu) to use within windows, would you say I should shop elsewhere, or ext3 usage within windwos is good enough.. | 04:58 |

| mattwj2002 | yeah it is pretty sweet little system.... | 06:13 |
| dr_Willis | mattwj2002, about the only issues ive seen with most laptops are wireless, and video. :) a lot will depend on the exact chipset the thing uses for those 2 devices. | 06:13 |
| StormStrikes | windowsIsForN00b: Okay, I was afraid of that but thought I would ask. I saw the tutorial in the forums and was not sure if I could do it. | 06:13 |
| Packman_e | dr_Willis: i am not sure, how will i find out, if it helps i am running ubuntu 7 | 06:13 |
| mattwj2002 | it has a good ATI chip set in it | 06:13 |
| mattwj2002 | wireless I am not sure about | 06:13 |
| dr_Willis | Packman_e, 'sudo apt-get install xchat' and try 'xchat' in the terminal. I dont like xchat-gnome, i just use the normal xchat program. | 06:14 |
| windowsIsForN00b | StormStrikes: U might be able to do it somehow with amd's CoolAndQuiet technology, that uses processor throttling and undervolting | 06:14 |
| mattwj2002 | I guess there is only one way to know....try it out :D | 06:14 |
| nickrud | mattwj2002 I suggest strongly that you have the laptop wired up to ethernet during the install, it makes setting up wireless much less painless | 06:14 |
| mattwj2002 | sounds good nickrud | 06:14 |
| nickrud | mattwj2002 seen too many people get locked into that loop | 06:14 |
| Packman_e | dr_Willis: is xchat normally a command line program? | 06:14 |
| StormStrikes | windowsIsForN00b: is there a program for Ubuntu or something I can download to tap into that? | 06:14 |
| windowsIsForN00b | StormStrikes: ill look into it | 06:15 |
| nickrud | erm, less painful I meant ;) | 06:15 |
| dr_Willis | Packman_e, no its a full gui X based chat program. Xchat-gnome is a simpilified version that most people seem to Hate. | 06:15 |
| mattwj2002 | are there any problems with installing Ubuntu and Vista on the same machine? | 06:15 |
| mattwj2002 | it comes with Vista | 06:15 |
| dr_Willis | Packman_e, running stuff from a terminal, will also print out any error messages/reasons for crashing | 06:15 |
| unavailable | ditch vista | 06:15 |
| Packman_e | ahh | 06:15 |
| StormStrikes | windowsIsForN00b: I appreciate that. Ive been through the tutorial on the forums a few times but its written for dual cores and I was curious as to what would be out there for the AMD processor | 06:15 |
| dr_Willis | mattwj2002, i dual boot that way all the time. Use Vista to resize the ntfs. its Much faster at the task. | 06:15 |
| nickrud | mattwj2002 I'd suggest using the disk manager in vista to shrink the vista partition if you plan on keeping it. Let windows mess with windows stuff | 06:15 |
| mattwj2002 | I know NTFS use to be an issue back in the day | 06:15 |

| L1nc01n | Hey, what do you guys think? Should I teach myself shell-scripting (and learning bash well) or Python first?? | 06:30 |
| unavailable | packman_2 packman_e bah | 06:30 |
| Packman_e | done, now fingers crossed! | 06:31 |
| dr_Willis | L1nc01n, do them all.. :) | 06:31 |
| Jester45 | L1nc01n: shell scripts are bash scipts just so you know :) | 06:31 |
| raheem | :) | 06:31 |
| windowsIsForN00b | StormStrikes: cpufreqd looks good too, "cpufreqd is meant to be a replacement of the speedstep applet you can find on some other OS, it monitors the system status and selects the most appropriate CPU level." | 06:31 |
| dr_Willis | L1nc01n, learning is a process.. the more ya learn, the more you apply what you learned to real life situations. thats how you really learn. Just reading bash guides willbe the first step in learning :) | 06:31 |
| unavailable | l1nc01n well reading this i would say python http://imgs.xkcd.com/comics/python.png | 06:31 |
| wild_ | just incase anyone else has problems with openal and ubuntu http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=725727&highlight=openal+soft | 06:32 |
| StormStrikes | windowsIsForN00b: Thats where I got hung up in the how to in the forums. I could never get that part to work. | 06:32 |
| dr_Willis | L1nc01n, a lot will depend on what tasks you want to do. It is worth while to learn bash. | 06:32 |
| Packman_e | where do you guys think would be a goot place to start programming, for someone who has never programmed before? | 06:32 |
| windowsIsForN00b | StormStrikes: installing it or using it? | 06:32 |
| L1nc01n | Jester45: I know, I just don't know my way around the terminal very well. I need to learn how to do basic stuff in the bash before I start doing scripts, lol | 06:33 |
| techno_freak | L1nc01n, i would suggest bash first as it helps in your normal computer file management more | 06:33 |
| StormStrikes | windowsIsForN00b: installing it. Well specifically the PHC utility. | 06:33 |
| dr_Willis | Packman_e, Python is fairly good and welldocumented for a total-starter to any programing. | 06:33 |
| ASULutzy | Man, what good is having 4 cores if devede won't use them ;) | 06:33 |
| dr_Willis | ASULutzy, run it twice! | 06:33 |
| L1nc01n | hmm... That sounds like good reasoning, techno_freak | 06:33 |
| * unavailable just typed "import antigravity", but i also sampled everything in the medicine cabinet, but i think its the python! | 06:34 | |
| ASULutzy | dr_Willis: heh, yea I guess I could convert multiple files at once :P or I could stop being a noob and use mencoder | 06:34 |
| bazhang | unavailable, interesting but offtopic | 06:34 |
| windowsIsForN00b | StormStrikes: PHC? | 06:34 |
| StormStrikes | windowsIsForN00b: Thats was part of the how to in the forums. Just a sec and I'll get the link to it. Its Processor Hardware Control | 06:35 |

| Jester45 | L1nc01n: you should cat /dev/urandom it makes your terminal a lot more fun | 06:35 |
| Packman_e | dr_Willis, i will check that out, i believe python is now supported on symbian phones (eg. nokia n95) | 06:35 |
| Jester45 | L1nc01n: and also not very useable | 06:36 |
| windowsIsForN00b | StormStrikes: do u get a specific error | 06:36 |
| ASULutzy | dr_Willis: heh, I use mencoder quite a bit, but for some reason I didn't feel like typing tonight... Guess taking twice as long to convert is the price to pay | 06:36 |
| L1nc01n | Packman_e, I first learned C++ in High School, then did Java a little bit, and when I got to college I learned C, and then Java some more. If I was you, I would try and get into C. It's more "lower level" than the others and makes you understand more of how programming actually works in my opinion | 06:36 |
| L1nc01n | Jester45, I'll have to try that | 06:36 |

| dr_Willis | Packman_e, python is supported on abut anything it seems :) | 06:38 |
| bazhang | dm not difficult to do. | 06:38 |
| dr_Willis | Packman_e, its hard to learn 'c' when you havent even grasped the concept of 'variables' and stuff. :) Python books are out that will gently introuduce you to programing fundamentals. | 06:39 |
| Packman_e | dr_Willis, unfortunately not the iphone | 06:39 |

| Knightly88 | Hi there. I'm hoping someone might have a second to help guide me in the right direction. I currently have Ubuntu 8.04 Hardy Heron installed on my desktop pc and I am hoping to copy the Ubuntu partition from my desktop to an external hard drive... anyone know how to copy an entire Ubuntu OS with updates etc. and install it on an external hard drive with an MSDOS filesystem? | 06:40 |
| StormStrikes | windowsIsForN00b: That searching though led me to powernowd and checking to see if it would do what I wanted. | 06:40 |
| windowsIsForN00b | StormStrikes: http://phc.athousandnights.de/ | 06:41 |
| ASULutzy | Knightly88: sudo cp -ax / /the/path/to/the/external | 06:41 |
| Jester45 | Knightly88: as a backup perpose | 06:41 |
| Jester45 | ASULutzy: would that maintain permissions? | 06:42 |
| dm | bazhang i put in the same UUID lets see if this works, brb. | 06:42 |
| dr_Willis | Packman_e, id rather make a extra housepayment.. with my $$ :) | 06:42 |
| Knightly88 | how can I copy Ubuntu to a hard drive and then RUN/USE it from the external hard drive? or do I need to just install a fresh copy of Ubuntu? | 06:42 |
| L1nc01n | Packman_e, Well, I don't know about that, haha. I think it's just the kind of thinker you are. In my opinion its a lot easier for me to understand programming from the ground up. I really like assembly language and stuff, and C is not too far off. If you really get down and dirty you get to see how processors manipulate the bits, and store shit in buffers and read this and do that, yaddy yadda. And then you have people who | 06:42 |
| L1nc01n | think it's a lot easier to code in Python or something because it's as close to writing english sentences as possible, which is also pretty cool | 06:42 |
| ASULutzy | Jester45: If he copied it to an ext3 drive it would | 06:42 |
| StormStrikes | windowsIsForN00b: that was another issue. when I went to that site to download the files to compile them, I could never get them. Fortunately the author included links to download the files not too long ago specific to the latest kernel | 06:42 |
| Jester45 | Knightly88: i would go with the fresh install | 06:42 |
| Jester45 | ASULutzy: but he said MSDOS filesystem so i was going to suggest !backup | 06:43 |
| StormStrikes | windowsIsForN00b: Either the svn links dont work or Im just not the brightest person and was doing something wrong. The latter more likely. | 06:43 |
| Knightly88 | Jester45 I've been doing some searching but still a little lost... how would I go about installing a fresh copy of Ubuntu on an external hard drive with the MSDOS file system? do I need to format/partition the external hard drive first? | 06:43 |
| Packman_e | L1nc01n, you like asembly!! man thats like chewing broken glass! | 06:43 |
| L1nc01n | Packman_e, I didn't complete one of my sentences back there, but I think you get the idea | 06:44 |
| Jester45 | Knightly88: it would be easier to reinstall then move everythig from the internal out | 06:44 |
| ASULutzy | Knightly88: It can be done. You would want the external hard drive to have an ext3 partition, then you would need to do say, sudo mkdir /media/backup then sudo mount /dev/thedrivepartition /media/backup then sudo cp -ax / /media/backup | 06:44 |
| windowsIsForN00b | StormStrikes: did u check this out https://wiki.ubuntu.com/UndervoltingHowto | 06:44 |
| Jester45 | Knightly88: you can format it with a linux FS or use fat if you want windows to beable to use it still | 06:44 |
| keith- | so what is tablet pc like in ubuntu | 06:44 |
| jony_kalavera | hi | 06:45 |
| Knightly88 | No.... fuck Windows... never again will Microsoft own my computer, lol. | 06:45 |
| ASULutzy | Knightly88: I had to do roughly the same thing to install a RAID-1 on an already running ubuntu system. (I partitioned a drive to match the running drive, did sudo cp / /media/backup, then had to do some tricky bind action and mdadm sorcery, but it worked) | 06:45 |
| StormStrikes | windowsIsForN00b: Oh yeah. I ran across that last night in my searches. Though the pages are in German I ran them through babble fish to translate them but did not get any information that really furthered the cause. | 06:45 |

| bazhang | PseudoBob, dont repeat so often | 07:07 |
| nicknameHere | PseudoBob: get a bigger hdd | 07:07 |
| zinkele | EXEC IGNORE NOTI NOSAVE | 07:07 |
| PseudoBob | he told me to repeat the question | 07:07 |
| PseudoBob | that was twice | 07:07 |
| Derander | nosave | 07:07 |
| bazhang | zinkele, stop | 07:07 |
| powertool|lappy | PseudoBob: delete stuff you don't need? | 07:07 |
| zinkele | OK | 07:07 |
| matthias_N | anyone knows hot to check for memory leak in ubuntu or have ideas how to ... | 07:08 |
| PseudoBob | see, the hard drive has enough space | 07:08 |
| powertool|lappy | PseudoBob: or use gparted to make grow the partition if you have room to spare somewhere else | 07:08 |
| robin__ | What virtualization should I use if I want to run Windows Vista in it? Do Ubuntu have any good virtualization software? | 07:08 |
| PseudoBob | because i just removed it from the hard drive in windows | 07:08 |
| Derander | Has anyone experienced a problem with the behavior of the backspace key in insert mode after compiling vim7? | 07:08 |
| bazhang | vmware or vbox robin__ | 07:08 |
| PseudoBob | gparted | 07:08 |
| PseudoBob | i suppose ill look that up then, thanks | 07:08 |
| raheem | robin__: u can use xen, or vmware-server, or virtualbox | 07:08 |
| gooody | does emerald theme manager works with compiz? | 07:08 |
| mattlock | nicknameHere> how did you install that application? | 07:08 |
| bazhang | gooody, yes | 07:08 |
| raheem | gooody: yes | 07:08 |
| Felonious | Is there something faster than file roller? This app appears to work 6x slower than winrar does | 07:08 |
| === nicknameHere is now known as insertNameHere | ||
| robin__ | I'll look them all up, thanks bazhang and raheem! | 07:09 |
| bazhang | np | 07:09 |
| gooody | how am i going to apply the themes i created using emerald? | 07:09 |
| raheem | Felonious: 7zip may be | 07:09 |
| PseudoBob | oh, one more minor thing | 07:09 |
| dr_Willis | Felonious, fileroller is most likely just a front end to the command line archive tools. | 07:09 |
| Jester45 | PseudoBob: just run df -h in a terminal | 07:09 |
| NetEcho | Felonious fileroller is only a frontend for command line archive tools such as tar | 07:09 |
| PseudoBob | my screen gets cut off on the right side by like a quarter inch on the right side | 07:09 |
| dr_Willis | Felonious, i have used winrar with wine , in the past. | 07:09 |
| Jester45 | it will tell the % free and how many GBs | 07:10 |
| PseudoBob | anything i can do about that? | 07:10 |
| insertNameHere | mattlock: i didn't, i just downloaded it, it runs if i run the executable, just not in terminal or by launcher | 07:10 |
| Felonious | hmmm... so its normal that its very slow? | 07:10 |
| Derander | pseudobob: use your monitors tweaking tools (i.e. the buttons on the front) | 07:10 |
| PseudoBob | and thank you, jester | 07:10 |
| bazhang | PseudoBob, did you try changing the resolution | 07:10 |
| dr_Willis | Felonious, depends on what sort of archive you are manking i imagine. | 07:10 |
| === insertNameHere is now known as nicknameHere | ||
| NetEcho | Felonious its only as fast as your system allows it to be and depends on the type of archive method | 07:10 |
| bazhang | !nickspam > nicknameHere | 07:10 |
| ubottu | nicknameHere, please see my private message | 07:10 |
| NetEcho | Felonious what type of archive were you making? | 07:10 |
| PseudoBob | heh, just had to hit auto image adjust | 07:10 |
| PseudoBob | lol, thank you again | 07:10 |
| Felonious | well dr_Willis it appears to be ALOT slower than winrar does extracting the exact same archive | 07:11 |
| Derander | pseudobob: no biggy | 07:11 |
| mattlock | insertNameHere: when you say 'run the executable', do you mean clicking its icon somewhere? | 07:11 |
| Jester45 | PseudoBob: does your monitor have an auto config? | 07:11 |
| nicknameHere | srry | 07:11 |
| Felonious | I thought maybe it was something on my end causing this | 07:11 |
| NetEcho | Felonious is it a .rar file? | 07:11 |
| Derander | felonious: are you extracting a rar? | 07:11 |
| Felonious | yea | 07:11 |
| NetEcho | Felonious .rar is propriatary thats why | 07:11 |
| bazhang | !unrar | 07:11 |
| Derander | felonious: rars are non-free formats, it is reverse engineered | 07:11 |
| ubottu | rar is a non-free archive format created by Rarsoft. For instructions on accessing .rar files through the Archive Manager view https://help.ubuntu.com/community/FileCompression. There is a free (as in speech) unrar utility as well, see !info unrar-free | 07:11 |
| Felonious | so unrar isnt a rarlabs app? | 07:11 |
| Felonious | i thought it was, my mistake | 07:11 |
| NetEcho | Felonious no | 07:11 |
| Jester45 | well 7zip does a good job with rars on windows at least | 07:11 |
| PseudoBob | when i used df -h, it told me i was using 3.4G of 3.6G | 07:12 |
| dr_Willis | Felonious, rarlabs has released some linux stuff. but they sort of have some licensing 'limitations' also. | 07:12 |
| welkin | raheem>>>> i tried but its not coming..... i dont knw the sharedname | 07:12 |
| dr_Willis | Felonious, I perfer to use 7zip mainly. | 07:12 |
| Jester45 | the package unrar-free is the free version unrar isnt free | 07:12 |
| Felonious | i liked 7zip for windows | 07:12 |
| Derander | Has anyone experienced a problem with the behavior of the backspace key in insert mode after compiling vim7? | 07:12 |
| Felonious | Ill try it here | 07:12 |
| PseudoBob | but im dual booting, and i know theres plenty of room in windows | 07:13 |
| PseudoBob | what exactly does gparted do? | 07:13 |
| bazhang | !gparted | 07:13 |
| 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 | 07:13 |
| Felonious | 2nd issue, is there a fix for UDF burning in brasero? I hate that I needed to download k3b in order to burn files over 2GB | 07:13 |
| danielm_mc | anyone wanna help with a WPA issue - madwifi / wpasupplicant dhcp issue ? | 07:13 |

| Flynsarmy | How do you mount a bunch of ntfs hdd's? they didn't mount on boot for some reason and ntfs-config isn't helping | 07:13 |
| danielm_mc | AR5212 | 07:13 |
| Derander | Bah, silly vim :-( | 07:14 |
| dr_Willis | Flynsarmy, try the proper mount command from the terminal. Its possible they are marked as 'unclean' and needing to be checked by windows , you may need to use the force option. | 07:14 |
| Fybix | Word? | 07:14 |
| PseudoBob | man, i love ubuntu | 07:14 |
| danielm_mc | i normally love ubuntu except when i can't connect to wireless with my AR5212 | 07:15 |
| PseudoBob | alright, i've got gparted installed now | 07:15 |
| Flynsarmy | dr_Willis, how do you unmount something? | 07:15 |
| dr_Willis | Flynsarmy, sudo umount (note the lack of an N) | 07:15 |
| PseudoBob | what should i do now? | 07:15 |
| cirkit | Ubuntu is always unable to find my wireless SSID, but not others. :/ | 07:16 |
| Felonious | Would I have better luck with smoothness on video files if I switch to the Xine backend for totem with high res h264 video files? | 07:16 |
| cirkit | Belkin-N router. | 07:16 |
| nicknameHere | how do i change the default program a file (mp3) is opened with | 07:16 |
| danielm_mc | yeah i have a WRT45GS (or wtfe) and an x61 thinkpad with an AR5212 wireless card | 07:17 |
| bazhang | Felonious, you tried vlc? | 07:17 |
| Felonious | wow not for linux no | 07:17 |
| Felonious | i didnt even think of that | 07:17 |
| Felonious | lol | 07:17 |
| PseudoBob | im kinda scared using this thing | 07:17 |
| bazhang | sudo apt-get install vlc Felonious | 07:17 |
| PseudoBob | the whole UMD thing about it | 07:17 |
| Felonious | trying to watch a 720p h264 has not gone well so far | 07:18 |
| Derander | Has anyone experienced a problem with the behavior of the backspace key in insert mode after compiling vim7? For some reason, I can only backspace delete text that I've entered in that particular insert. | 07:18 |
| danielm_mc | !derander - did you check your .vimrc ? | 07:18 |

| nano_ | is there a specific channel to discuss pulseaudio? | 07:19 |
| danielm_mc | nano_ - &@($ pulseaudio | 07:19 |
| Derander | danielm_mc: 7. I just compiled instead of using aptitude this time because there is a problem in the repo version | 07:20 |

| nano_ | bazhang, i currently have that open | 07:20 |
| danielm_mc | derander - ewww | 07:20 |
| nano_ | i had a simple question... | 07:20 |
| bazhang | xrawyx, downloaded from where | 07:20 |
| PseudoBob | so, i've got gparted open now | 07:20 |
| Derander | danielm_mc: ? | 07:20 |
| Felonious | bazhang, nah vlc isnt gonna work. Not getting any video | 07:20 |
| danielm_mc | derander: try moving your .vimrc to bak.vimrc and then try your backspace key | 07:21 |
| bazhang | Felonious, you got compiz on or off | 07:21 |
| nano_ | when i issue "ps -AF | grep pulse" i see that pulseaudio is running; however, when i issue "pulseaudio --check" there is no output, which would mean that pulseaudio is not loaded | 07:21 |
| PseudoBob | how do i identify the ubuntu partition? | 07:21 |
| bazhang | PseudoBob, you want to resize the ntfs partition? | 07:21 |

| Moj1 | I've installed ubuntu, but accidentally changed the video driver in a settings window. Now there is just a black screen on boot. What can I do? | 07:23 |
| danielm_mc | derander : are you running gnome and opening a term, using the console... whats your env look like ? | 07:23 |
| surplusxmas | Is there any quick shell command that will dump specs for my machine? RAM count, CPU clockspeed, etc.? | 07:23 |
| danielm_mc | surplusxmas : check /proc | 07:23 |
| Derander | danielm_mc: it is the default environment from a fresh ubuntu install, I've had no cause to mess with it | 07:23 |
| PseudoBob | does that make any sense? | 07:23 |
| surplusxmas | danielm_mc: Thank you. | 07:23 |
| Frogzoo | surplusxmas: lshw - but it's not standard | 07:23 |
| Derander | daniel_mc: running gnome, opening gnome-terminal | 07:23 |
| Derander | daniel_mc: I'll give it a shot through a tty real fast | 07:24 |
| danielm_mc | derander: yeah it sounds like your terminal settings aren't right | 07:24 |
| Moj1 | Hey guys, could someone help me change my video driver? I changed it by accident and I don't know how to reset it. | 07:24 |
| Felonious | bazhang, plays alot better in mplayer though | 07:24 |
| danielm_mc | derander: probably fekt coz you didn't use the repo | 07:24 |
| Derander | danielm_mc: the repo version works, but it seg faults with rails.vim | 07:24 |
| bazhang | PseudoBob, you want to erase that ntfs partition (delete) or resize it | 07:24 |
| dave11 | !konversation | 07:25 |
| ubottu | Sorry, I don't know anything about konversation | 07:25 |
| PseudoBob | so the ntfs one is for my windows files? | 07:25 |
| bazhang | !info envyng-gtk | Moj1 | 07:25 |

| bazhang | PseudoBob, yes | 07:25 |
| Felonious | well i thought it did, but mplayer desyncs the audio :( | 07:25 |
| Frogzoo | Moj1: run "sudo dpkg-reconfigure xserver-xorg" | 07:25 |
| danielm_mc | derander : bwahaha - ruby??!! | 07:26 |
| PseudoBob | alright, so i want to reduce the size of that so i can add free space to the fat32 partition | 07:26 |
| Derander | danielm_mc: Mmhmm. | 07:26 |
| PseudoBob | which i believe is the ubuntu partition | 07:26 |
| Moj1 | bazhang: It's not nvidia - it's intel integrated | 07:26 |
| bazhang | Moj1, for hardy use my suggestion, for gutsy use Frogzoo 's | 07:26 |
| Moj1 | thank you Frogzoo | 07:26 |
| danielm_mc | derander: were you doing apt-get install vim-full ? | 07:26 |
| Moj1 | I have 7.10 ubuntu | 07:26 |
| danielm_mc | derander: or were you just using the default install of vim from 8.04? | 07:26 |
| bazhang | Moj1, in that case for hardy sudo displayconfig-gtk | 07:26 |
| Derander | daniel_mc: yes, the seg-fault is a long standing bug | 07:26 |
| welkin | raheem>>>>frogzoo>>> do u know how to see shared files frm a windows file in terminal connected in lan | 07:27 |
| danielm_mc | derander: hittin you up in private, too much chatter | 07:27 |
| bazhang | PseudoBob, you have to be very careful with gparted. | 07:27 |
| PseudoBob | i know | 07:27 |
| PseudoBob | im pretty scared right now | 07:27 |
| bazhang | PseudoBob, are your files backed up? | 07:27 |
| magnetron | hi! i'm connecting to to a ssh server. the server is using a iso-latin1 (ISO8859-1) locale, my ubuntu client is using a UTF-8 locale. the characters are messed up, how should i correct to view all chars? | 07:28 |
| PseudoBob | Nope... | 07:28 |
| nicknameHere | in gnome how do i set the default app for a file to be opened with | 07:28 |
| PseudoBob | Think I should probably do that before proceeding? | 07:28 |
| Moj1 | I'm running from a LiveCD now, I can't load up my installed ubuntu because I changed driver. Should I run 'displayconfig-gtk' in the terminal? | 07:28 |
| bazhang | PseudoBob, you might consider getting the gparted livecd; not backing up is seriously risky though. | 07:28 |
| bazhang | Moj1, that wont help with live cd | 07:29 |
| bazhang | Moj1, and since you are on gutsy you need to run Frogzoo 's command from command line in your install not the live cd | 07:29 |
| Moj1 | @bazhang: can I just copy the video driver setting file that's loaded into the RAMdisk (guessing that's how livecd works) onto disk? | 07:30 |
| Moj1 | okay I'll try that, thank you | 07:30 |
| PseudoBob | So without using GParted all I can do is delete files I don't need? | 07:30 |
| PseudoBob | Because my Ubuntu partition is pretty small. | 07:30 |
| bazhang | Moj1, best to drop to a shell and do it that way. | 07:30 |
| PseudoBob | 3,6 Gigs. | 07:31 |
| bazhang | PseudoBob, gparted is for resizing, deleting or creating new partitions | 07:31 |
| dr_Willis | PseudoBob, you could resize the ntfs. make a new linux partition in the now freed up space. and just mount that new space to your linux system somewhere to use it. | 07:31 |
| Mr_Giraffe | hey, for some reason my usb mouse isn't working at all, and my /proc/bus/usb/ directory is totally empty | 07:31 |
| PseudoBob | What do you mean mount it? | 07:31 |
| Mr_Giraffe | what can i do to fix my mouse? | 07:31 |
| bazhang | Mr_Giraffe, which mouse | 07:32 |
| Mr_Giraffe | bazhang, usb | 07:32 |
| PseudoBob | Wait, couldn't I add that space to the existing fat32 partition? | 07:32 |
| Mr_Giraffe | nothing comes up in messages, syslog, or dmesg about it | 07:32 |

| Mr_Giraffe | however, it doesn't work with any mouse at all | 07:36 |
| aldo | hi | 07:36 |
| Frogzoo | Mr_Giraffe: oh that's bad... tail -f /var/log/messages & plug it in, see if it gets detected | 07:37 |
| bazhang | Mr_Giraffe, is there issue with those usb ports? | 07:37 |
| Mr_Giraffe | Frogzoo, it doesn't | 07:37 |
| Mr_Giraffe | and bazhang no | 07:37 |
| magnetron | PseudoBob: you can do it. and what kind of estimate of the risk do you want? 99%? 1%? 0.00001%? | 07:37 |
| Frogzoo | Mr_Giraffe: try a different mouse | 07:37 |
| Mr_Giraffe | i already did tail on /var/log/messages, /var/log/syslog, and dmesg | 07:37 |
| Mr_Giraffe | Frogzoo, i did | 07:37 |
| Kirix | anyone using UniChrome or OpenChrome display drivers? | 07:37 |
| bazhang | no detection and no hardware issue? that is odd. | 07:37 |
| Mr_Giraffe | also, /proc/bus/usb/ is empty | 07:37 |
| PseudoBob | Well, I don't have any of my files backed up. | 07:38 |
| magnetron | PseudoBob: look, no one here will tell you that there's no risk. YOU have to take the responsibility of managing your disk. | 07:38 |
| bazhang | Mr_Giraffe, you using vbox or other virtualizers? | 07:38 |
| Mr_Giraffe | nope | 07:38 |
| Frogzoo | Mr_Giraffe: hald is running? | 07:38 |
| Mr_Giraffe | Frogzoo, just did ps -e | grep hald | 07:38 |
| Mr_Giraffe | and it's running | 07:38 |
| PseudoBob | Well, I can't reduce the size of the ntfs partition. | 07:39 |
| PseudoBob | There's a weird keys icon on it. | 07:39 |
| Frogzoo | Mr_Giraffe: I'd say google for linux + belkin mouse | 07:39 |
| Mr_Giraffe | Frogzoo, it's not the mouse | 07:40 |
| Mr_Giraffe | it doesn't work with a gigaware mouse either | 07:40 |

| Mr_Giraffe | cause i really can't use an OS that doesn't even have support for my USB ports | 07:43 |
| bazhang | Mr_Giraffe, other items plugged into that usb port work? | 07:43 |
| Mr_Giraffe | bazhang, the only thing i've tried is a flash drive and that worked | 07:43 |
| bazhang | knightwise, we are smarter than google :) | 07:43 |
| afallenhope | anyone know why I can't use a JPEG webcam on stickam? | 07:44 |
| PseudoBob | What does it mean to umount a partition | 07:44 |
| Felonious | thanks | 07:44 |
| PseudoBob | Er, unmount. | 07:44 |
| PseudoBob | And throw a question mark at the end of that sentence... | 07:44 |
| sp00n | Hello everyone. I am unable to mount a windows share via samba. It was working earlier and now it times out. | 07:44 |
| dr_Willis | PseudoBob, make it where its not accessable by the os. a filesystem Must be mounted for it to be see/read/written to. | 07:44 |
| bazhang | PseudoBob, mounted partitions cant be edited | 07:44 |
| dr_Willis | PseudoBob, 'sudo umount /dev/hda1' (for example0 would unmoint the hda1 filesystem | 07:45 |
| PseudoBob | So if I unmount that partition, I make it smaller? | 07:45 |
| sp00n | PseudoBob, also, note that the command to unmount is *umount*, not *unmount* | 07:45 |
| bazhang | Mr_Giraffe, pastebin the output of lshw to paste.ubuntu.com | 07:45 |
| PseudoBob | Then would I have to remount it? | 07:45 |
| dr_Willis | PseudoBob, there are some tasks that can only be safely done to unmounted filesystems. | 07:45 |
| LSD|Ninja | Is the login prompt on 8.04 in the bottom right because someone thought it would be stylish or because it's in the centre of a screen I can only see 2/3 of? | 07:46 |
| Eleaf | it's weird, almost all the linux vst plugins don't work in renoise | 07:46 |
| dr_Willis | PseudoBob, to access a filesystem for normal access.. it needs to be mounted. | 07:46 |
| sp00n | LSD|Ninja, it's in the middle for me.... | 07:46 |
| PseudoBob | Alright, so I wouldn't be able to run windows after unmounting it then? | 07:46 |
| dr_Willis | LSD|Ninja, could be gdm is gettting the res wrong. | 07:46 |
| dr_Willis | PseudoBob, windows has nothing to do with it. | 07:47 |
| PseudoBob | I'm still pretty slow with this stuff.... | 07:47 |
| LSD|Ninja | dr_Willis: I'm styarting to get that impression. Ubuntu has never got that right. | 07:47 |
| dr_Willis | PseudoBob, One normally mounts a filesystem. uses that filesystem. and then when linux shuts down. it unmounts them. | 07:47 |
| nicknameHere | how do u set default apps in gnome | 07:47 |
| dr_Willis | LSD|Ninja, i always have the wrong res. till i get the nvidia drivers installed. | 07:47 |
| === Pyrate is now known as Desu | ||
| === Desu is now known as Pyrate | ||
| PseudoBob | Huh. | 07:47 |
| LSD|Ninja | Only reason I'm asking is because I'm finding myself in need of the rebbot button on GDM and it's not there | 07:48 |
| Felonious | Why do people put together step by step tutorials and not tell you where to get these files | 07:48 |
| Mr_Giraffe | bazhang, http://paste.ubuntu.com/23462/ | 07:48 |
| bazhang | nicknameHere, what about system prefs preferred applications | 07:48 |
| bullgard4 | dr_Willis: My Ubuntu grows fat and fatter. I feel the need to confine the growth. (I already devoted another Windows partition to Ubuntu.) Where is to be found a more qualifying satement than "removing compiz can cause some annoying issues"? | 07:48 |
| sp00n | Can someone help me mount my remote windows share? | 07:48 |
| PseudoBob | Somehow, I'm still not getting something here. Why is the partition for windows mounted? | 07:48 |
| LSD|Ninja | dr_Willis: I have the nVidia drivers installed but gdm is still getting the res not quite right (It knows I want 1024x768 but is loading what I imagine is the 1280x1024 theme. Ubuntu always thinks I want 1280x1024) | 07:49 |
| webcamwonder | PseudoBob: In order to access any specific partition, it needs to be mounted first | 07:49 |
| bullgard4 | bazhang: dr_Willis says "removing compiz can cause some annoying issues." How to safely uninstall compiz? | 07:49 |
| dr_Willis | bullgard4, removing compiz isent going to save much space. - theres some sort of default window managers settings that i have seen get confused/broken - when you remove compiz. It may be fixed now under hardy. But i spent part of a day under gutsy figureing otu what went wrong on my laptop after i removed compiz. | 07:49 |
| PseudoBob | so the unmounted ones... | 07:49 |
| dr_Willis | bullgard4, so its best to cautious. :) | 07:49 |
| nicknameHere | bazhang: i changed it in preferred apps and nothing happened | 07:49 |
| sp00n | LSD|Ninja, I had an installation a while ago that couldn't load X because it had the refresh rate for the monitor wrong. Editing your xorg conf or rc conf can set the correct resolution for starting the gdm | 07:49 |
| bazhang | bullgard4, safest would be to set it off | 07:50 |
| LSD|Ninja | removing all the old kernels the update manager never bothers too will probably save more space then removing compiz | 07:50 |
| dr_Willis | and cleaning out the apt cache will save space also | 07:50 |
| webcamwonder | PseudoBob: Unmounted partitions cannot be "explored" using your file manager normally | 07:50 |
| LSD|Ninja | sp00n: 7.10 got it right. This is just another in a long line of ridiculous regressions in Hardy | 07:50 |
| bullgard4 | dr_Willis, bazhang: Thank you for your comments. | 07:50 |
| webcamwonder | PseudoBob: If you try to access any partition and if it happens to be unmounted, Ubuntu automatically mounts them | 07:51 |
| bazhang | Mr_Giraffe, there is just the single usb port? this is 64bit ubuntu running on an amd? | 07:51 |
| sp00n | LSD|Ninja, I completely agree. I switched back to linux about a week ago, used 7.10 for a day, upgred to Hardy and have spent a week googling hardy bug reports... | 07:51 |
| webcamwonder | PseudoBob: And they normally show up on your desktop, which you can unmount by right clicking and selecting unmount volume | 07:51 |
| Mr_Giraffe | bazhang, there are 3 usb ports... | 07:51 |
| Mr_Giraffe | and yes, on a 64 bit amd | 07:51 |
| nicknameHere | how do u make apps start on boot?? | 07:52 |
| dr_Willis | 'unmount' = 'safely remove' in the menus :) not sure why some times you see unmount, and otehrs you see safely remove | 07:52 |
| bazhang | Mr_Giraffe, the usb controller reports as unclaimed, and only one usb port shows up | 07:52 |
| LSD|Ninja | sp00n: there used to be a half-decent resolution control app in 7.10. It's gone in 8.04. | 07:52 |
| PseudoBob | Ok, ok. | 07:52 |
| webcamwonder | dr_Willis: Some guy didn't drink enough coffee :) | 07:52 |
| dr_Willis | then theres 'eject' that unmounts, then ejects the cd.. but ive seen it on other non-cd devices also | 07:52 |
| bazhang | nicknameHere, system prefs sessions | 07:52 |
| PseudoBob | So why won't it let me unmount this partition? | 07:52 |
| PseudoBob | The ntfs partition? | 07:52 |
| Mr_Giraffe | bazhang, exactly, but i know that all USB ports work since the flash drive has worked in all of them | 07:52 |
| dr_Willis | I warned a guy at work to be ready to catch his usb thumb drive when the PC spit it out at him as he used eject.... | 07:52 |
| webcamwonder | PsuedoBob: Are you using it? | 07:52 |
| dr_Willis | :) | 07:52 |
| PseudoBob | I suppose I am... | 07:53 |
| nicknameHere | bazhang: many thanks | 07:53 |
| PseudoBob | But I don't know what is. | 07:53 |
| webcamwonder | PseudoBob: You cannot unmount a partition that is being read/write to | 07:53 |
| sp00n | LSD|Ninja, My installation has it, once you've logged in. Might be because I upgraded from 7.10 though, or else cuz I'm running gnome right now | 07:53 |
| PseudoBob | How do I know what's using that partition? | 07:53 |
| bazhang | Mr_Giraffe, and you tried the mouse in all three ports? | 07:53 |
| Mr_Giraffe | bazhang, yes | 07:54 |
| webcamwonder | You need to use the command that searches for openfiles... of which I got no clue | 07:54 |
| bazhang | hmm. odd | 07:54 |
| PseudoBob | I thought there'd be a command. Anyone know it? | 07:54 |
| magnetron | hi! i'm connecting to to a ssh server. the server is using a iso-latin1 (ISO8859-1) locale, my ubuntu client is using a UTF-8 locale. the characters are messed up, how should i connect to be able to view all chars? | 07:54 |
| bazhang | Mr_Giraffe, does the live cd let you use them all? ie does the mouse work with the livecd? | 07:55 |
| LSD|Ninja | sp00n: There's two. One is the utterly useless one in the Preferences section of the menu (which I still have) and the other, better, one was in the Administration section (which disappeared in the upgrade). It may still be there (like the sharing control panel is) but I have nfi what it was called | 07:55 |
| sp00n | If someone could help me mount a remote samba share I would greatly appreciate it. I have been doing so with no problems for a while but now it times out every time. | 07:55 |
| bazhang | LSD|Ninja, what is nfi | 07:55 |
| Mr_Giraffe | bazhang, i actually used the wubi util since i couldn't get a CD | 07:55 |
| LSD|Ninja | bazhang: no %^*&%&*( idea | 07:55 |
| magnetron | sp00n: aer you using the smbfs or CIFS filesystem in your mount command? | 07:55 |
| bazhang | LSD|Ninja, keep it family friendly thanks | 07:55 |
| sp00n | LSD|Ninja, mine is in system->administration. It's not fantastic but it works OK | 07:56 |
| bazhang | Mr_Giraffe, this is a wubi install? | 07:56 |
| Mr_Giraffe | yes | 07:56 |
| Mr_Giraffe | should i just reinstall with a livecd...? | 07:56 |
| sp00n | magnetron, I have tried both. When I leave off the -t option, which I understand should attempt autodetect, it times out with the message to refer to mount.cifs man page | 07:56 |
| Mr_Giraffe | (one would hope that maybe wubi worked as advertised...) | 07:56 |
| bazhang | Mr_Giraffe, first try the livecd; dualbooting is superior to wubi imo (if you can use your mice) | 07:56 |
| PseudoBob | Can anyone tell me the command to show open files? | 07:57 |
| magnetron | sp00n: sounds like you have network problems. | 07:57 |
| sp00n | magnetron, I believe I may have changed a conf file or system setting somewhere that broke my samba | 07:57 |
| bazhang | Mr_Giraffe, wubi is a 'work in progress' :) | 07:57 |
| sp00n | magnetron, no, my virtual box is able to connect to it fine | 07:57 |
| Mr_Giraffe | :/ | 07:57 |
| Mr_Giraffe | great. | 07:57 |
| danielm_mc | i'm also having network problems with my AR5212 using madwifi and wpasupplicant. | 07:57 |
| Mr_Giraffe | perhaps it should be labeled as such? | 07:57 |
| magnetron | sp00n: then you changed the wrong setting :/ do you have a backup of the smb.conf? | 07:57 |
| bazhang | danielm_mc, what does ifconfig show; two entries or three | 07:57 |
| dstrbdfrk1 | can someone im me who can help me with the compiz cube effect | 07:58 |
| Mr_Giraffe | it's awfully annoying when it says "install without needing a cd! it's great! do it now!" and then i find out 3 days later that it's not going to work. | 07:58 |
| dr_Willis | !cube | dstrbdfrk1 | 07:58 |
| ubottu | dstrbdfrk1: Compiz-Fusion (and the older Compiz and Beryl) are window managers that employ the "composite" extension of X to draw windows using graphics cards' 3D hardware. They can additionally provide "desktop special effects" (such as the "cube") by means of plug-ins. Join #compiz-fusion for help and support with advanced features. See also « /msg ubotu compiz » and « /msg ubotu effects » | 07:58 |
| bazhang | Mr_Giraffe, we always tell folks to dual boot here. | 07:58 |
| Mr_Giraffe | well that's nice, but the site doesn't | 07:58 |
| sp00n | magnetron, yes, but the only difference in the backup was adding a share of my own | 07:58 |
| dstrbdfrk1 | thanx | 07:58 |
| bazhang | Mr_Giraffe, to remove the wubi install is quite easy though. | 07:58 |
| Eleaf | cous cous | 07:59 |
| Mr_Giraffe | bazhang, how? | 07:59 |
| fma243 | hello | 07:59 |
| Flannel | Mr_Giraffe: Add/remove programs in windows, and remove it | 07:59 |
| bazhang | Eleaf, english please | 07:59 |
| sp00n | magnetron, I can reinstate the backup and restart samba but I'm pretty sure that's not the problem | 07:59 |
| Mr_Giraffe | how convenient\ | 07:59 |
| fma243 | i am currently trying to isntall ubuntu can any one help me through | 07:59 |
| nano_ | if i run a job from terminal such as "find xxxxx &" it will go into the background, how can i bring this job into foreground | 07:59 |
| Mr_Giraffe | well then, thanks, i'll burn an ubuntu proper CD before doing that | 07:59 |
| dr_Willis | nano_, 'fg' command | 07:59 |
| dr_Willis | nano_, time to check some bash guides/tutorials on 'job controll' | 07:59 |
| Eleaf | couscous | 07:59 |
| nano_ | dr_Willis, okay, then if i can do that, and then i wan to send it back into background,....? | 07:59 |
| bazhang | Mr_Giraffe, be sure to check the livecd and mice before installing though | 07:59 |
| Flannel | nano_: | 07:59 |
| bazhang | Eleaf, stop | 08:00 |
| magnetron | sp00n: "it SHOULD work"... i've done modifications like that several times, that wreck my setup even if they are small | 08:00 |
| fma243 | i am on the partition manager thing what should i do | 08:00 |
| Eleaf | lol | 08:00 |
| Eleaf | couscous is food bazhang .. | 08:00 |
| danielm_mc | bazhang : 4 | 08:00 |
| Flannel | nano_: "jobs" will give you a listing, %X where X is the number (or fg) will bring it to the foreground | 08:00 |
| dr_Willis | nano_, ctrl-z, and bg command. ( i think) again - time to check 'job controll bash' tutorials. :) | 08:00 |
| fma243 | hello some help here | 08:00 |
| nano_ | Flannel, how can i send the job back into background...(Ctrl-Z may just end up stopping it) | 08:00 |
| dr_Willis | nano_, its a rather in depth topic with a lot of neat.. things. :) | 08:00 |
| sp00n | magnetron, while I am reinstating the backup ... it worked after the changes I made .. I backed up before I added my share. Is there a possibility of not being able to connect to remote shares if you mess up a section for adding your own share? | 08:01 |
| bazhang | danielm_mc, and what does sudo dhclient wlan0 report (any dhcpoffers?) | 08:01 |
| Flannel | nano_: stop it, and then bg # | 08:01 |
| fma243 | .... | 08:01 |
| magnetron | sp00n: yes. | 08:01 |
| bazhang | danielm_mc, or ath0 in this case | 08:01 |
| fma243 | how should i set the Partition | 08:01 |
| nano_ | Flannel, sweet, thnx man | 08:01 |
| bazhang | fma243, we need more info | 08:02 |
| [[thufir]] | how do you refer to the home path? $home/Desktop ? or something else? | 08:02 |
| Flannel | thansen|laptop: $HOME is home. Which is also ~ | 08:02 |
| Flannel | [[thufir]]: ^ thats for you | 08:02 |
| fma243 | well i have just started ubuntu i running through the live cd i have 4 partitions i want to install ubuntu on a 5 gb one | 08:02 |
| nano_ | if I go into VolumeControl>File>Change Device, i get to choose between ALSA,OSS,PulseAudio.....does this mean that whatever I select will be my acting sound server, and the rest will sit idle? | 08:02 |
| Sa[i]nT | Ok, .img files, can I convert them to ISO? | 08:02 |
| CaptainMorgan | wow... support for media such as digital cameras and cell phones in ubuntu have really improved - thank you! | 08:02 |
| [[thufir]] | I mean in conversation. you would write ~/whatever meaning /home/thufir/whatever ? | 08:03 |
| bazhang | fma243, this is the guided one? then choose that partition and install to it | 08:03 |
| Flannel | [[thufir]]: yes, /home/username/ | 08:03 |
| fma243 | no i am using manual guided one just creates one partition | 08:03 |
| [[thufir]] | Flannel: or, you could write ~/ meaning the same thing, or would you write ~/username/ ? | 08:03 |
| sp00n | magnetron, how do you restart samba again? I momentarily forgot. thought it was /etc/init.d/samba restart | 08:03 |
| fma243 | and making it system root | 08:03 |
| bazhang | Eleaf, stay on topic | 08:03 |
| Flannel | [[thufir]]: No, ~/ is the same as /home/username/ | 08:04 |
| Eleaf | bazhang, I'm eating couscous, which is basically wheat semolina.. just trying to be social | 08:04 |
| Eleaf | no worries buddy | 08:04 |
| Flannel | Eleaf: Social is in #ubuntu-offtopic, not here, thanks. | 08:04 |
| bazhang | Eleaf, that is offtopic here. | 08:04 |
| [[thufir]] | Flannel: thanks. silly question perhaps, but... | 08:04 |
| klenz87 | hey is this at all possible i have two grapics cards in stalled a geforce4 mx 4000 and a geforce2 mx\mx 400 can i run a second screen off the geforce 2??? | 08:04 |
| Eleaf | Flannel, It's been 1.5 years and I'm still banned from there | 08:04 |
| Flannel | Eleaf: #ubuntu-ops, being banned from there is no excuse for bad manners here. | 08:05 |
| bazhang | Eleaf, then watch your step here. | 08:05 |
| godao | Hi there. A modified version(overclocked by manufacter) of a Geforce, like 8600 GT with 512mb (instead of deafault 256mb) can run normaly on Ubuntu ? | 08:05 |
| Eleaf | bazhang, yeah, no problem, just didn't know a random food gesture was off topic, ubuntu stuff now | 08:05 |
| bazhang | godao, you are troubleshooting or have yet to install ubuntu | 08:05 |
| nano_ | anybody know the answer to my last question......somebody outta | 08:05 |
| sp00n | magnetron, when samba starts I get this error message. Is this possibly related? /usr/sbin/smbd: /usr/local/lib/liblber-2.4.so.2: no version information available (required by /usr/sbin/smbd) | 08:05 |
| nano_ | if I go into VolumeControl>File>Change Device, i get to choose between ALSA,OSS,PulseAudio.....does this mean that whatever I select will be my acting sound server, and the rest will sit idle? | 08:05 |
| bazhang | Eleaf, stop. | 08:06 |
| Eleaf | apologizing? | 08:06 |
| Eleaf | let's let it go | 08:06 |
| danielm_mc | bazhang: it's the problem where there is a PSK exchange but dhclient just keeps doing DHCPDISCOVER's 7 times and then gives up | 08:06 |
| fma243 | i am not getting much support here | 08:07 |
| sp00n | Still not working... | 08:07 |
| dr_Willis | fma243, one normally makes at least 2 partitions, one for / and one for swap. | 08:07 |
| godao | bazhang: the manufacter does not have a linux driver for the modified version, but I can download the original version of this gpu for linux at nvidia's official. but will it run overclocked like in windows drivers ? | 08:08 |
| sp00n | fma243, what is your question? I am a recent linux user but I can try to help | 08:08 |
| fma243 | so how should i set them i am trying like a 5gb one making it a ext3 and a 1gb swap | 08:08 |
| nano_ | anybody can help with general questions about sound? | 08:08 |
| sp00n | magnetron, still having the issue....any suggestions? | 08:09 |
| dr_Willis | fma243, depending on how the rest of the hd is laid out. You may need to make a extended partition for the whole 5gb, then 2 logicals inside it. one of 4.5 gb for / and a .5gb for swap. | 08:09 |
| fma243 | i ll try | 08:09 |
| dr_Willis | fma243, i normally free up some space and make it 'unallocated' and let the ubuntu installer auto partition inside the unallocated space. | 08:09 |
| fma243 | should i use ext2 or ext3 | 08:10 |

| Flannel | Hey guys, mind taking this topic to #ubuntu-offtopic? thanks | 08:22 |
| ariqs | sp00n: yes, I gave them a negative review on resellerratings, and they offered me like $80 to remove it | 08:22 |
| aLeSD | why man malloc gives me an unexistent man page ? | 08:22 |
| anonymouss | is it considered discourteous in IRC to send a message directly to someone, to not flood the channel? | 08:23 |
| Flannel | anonymouss: Usually you use pastebin | 08:23 |
| ariqs | depends on the user, anonymouss. I say don't worry about it and let the person complain if it bugs mhem | 08:24 |
| anonymouss | ok | 08:24 |
| sp00n | magnetron, http://paste.ubuntu.com/23469/ The samba conf file is not changed from the default it puts in, cuz it worked for me without needing to change it. The error message I got is ontop | 08:24 |
| anonymouss | i installed a pidgin plugin that automatically dumps man pages into IM/IRC | 08:24 |
| sp00n | ariqs, I would've accepted and written a review about it! | 08:24 |
| diggs | any brainstorm admins in here? | 08:25 |
| anonymouss | puts a whole new angle to rtfm | 08:25 |
| Killeroid | anonymouss: what plugin is this?linky please | 08:28 |
| anonymouss | Killeroid: I assume you are on ubuntu? (q is am i right) | 08:29 |
| Killeroid | anonymouss: yes, i am on ubuntu | 08:29 |
| anonymouss | Killeroid: sudo apt-get install pidgin-plugin-pack | 08:30 |
| ariqs | what is a tcpview like program for linux? | 08:30 |
| fraroco | How can I know it what kind of memory ram has my machine ? | 08:30 |
| ompaul | NOTE I am about to remove a lot of bans there will be some scrolling! | 08:30 |
| anonymouss | Killeroid: the plugin is called /exec | 08:30 |
| ompaul | this will make the channel unusable for a moment | 08:30 |
| ariqs | ok, ompaul | 08:30 |
| magnetron | sp00n: man.... this error is severe. some of your libraries seems to be damaged. did you install any new repositories lately? or have any power outages? | 08:30 |
| afallenhope | Hey.. I'm having an issue with my webcam and adobe flash player 9. | 08:30 |
| anonymouss | Killeroid: it runs a command and gives you standard out | 08:30 |
| ompaul | Finished - cheers | 08:31 |
| anonymouss | Killeroid: and if you do /exec -o command, it dumps into current session | 08:31 |
| Killeroid | anonymouss: i never noticed the exec plugin, thanks for the tip | 08:31 |
| sp00n | magnetron, seriously? there was a couple time it froze and I had to hard shut down. I've been installing new packages for the last week | 08:31 |
| fraroco | how can I get the hard info of my machine? | 08:32 |
| anonymouss | Killeroid: useful for checking dmesg or whatever without switching windows/terminals | 08:32 |
| magnetron | sp00n: yes, seriously | 08:32 |
| === stylus is now known as darkstylus | ||
| anonymouss | Killeroid: although, I don't think it is available for finch | 08:33 |
| anonymouss | which is a bummer | 08:33 |
| sp00n | magnetron, how can I fix damaged libraries? Can I reinstall/rebuild them? Is it the "no version information" that tells you this? | 08:33 |
| Killeroid | anonymouss: thanks again, this plugin has just become my favorite pidgin plugin of all time | 08:34 |
| Tweaker | So, how would I go about dual booting with PCLinuxOS | 08:34 |
| dr_Willis | Tweaker, install the other linux to different partitions, pick ONE os to controll grub. and edit the grub menu configs adding the other OS to it. | 08:35 |
| Tweaker | Alright cool, how would I do that? I wanna keep Ubuntu as the main, but run PClinux as a side OS. Or even at the same time if I can. | 08:36 |
| magnetron | sp00n: the "no version" tells us that the some of the library files are damaged. i assume that some of your other apps will show similar behaviour. "reinstalling" the libraries is not a good solution, as it would not fix all the damaged files. what you /should/ is that you should run a fsck "file system check" on your partition and see if it can fix it. | 08:36 |
| bennyf11 | Hi, how do i get ubuntu 8.04 to work with a bcm4311 rev 02 WITHOUT ndiswrapper?? | 08:36 |
| user_ | Tweaker: running at the same second? | 08:37 |
| sp00n | magnetron, thanks, I will try that. I have not noticed any erratic behavior with any other applications. | 08:37 |
| Rat409 | bennyf11: i couldn't w/o ndiswrapper same bcm rev 2 | 08:37 |
| Tweaker | Whoops, I ment Running Ubuntu and PCLinux at the same time. I've heard of others running Windows and Linux Simultaneously | 08:38 |
| bennyf11 | rat409: so ndiswrapper is the only way to go?? | 08:38 |
| Rat409 | ftm | 08:38 |
| dr_Willis | Tweaker, You proberly should learn/read up on grub. befor doing the install of pclinux.. set up part of the hd as unallocated. boot pclinux, let its installer install to the drives.. backup the pclinux grub menu.lst soemwhere you can find it.. and then compare the 2 from ubuntu and pclinux. You will most likely have to do a bit of cut/pasteing from oneto the other to get both os's booting properly | 08:38 |
| Tweaker | Oh damn, alright. I guess I can do that. Thanks for the info. | 08:39 |
| dr_Willis | Tweaker, normally i install the other os;s first. then ubuntu last. that way the other os's dont make it a pain to boot to ubuntu | 08:39 |
| Rat409 | pclos may use lilo as default not sure tho | 08:39 |
| Rat409 | but it should install to root-partition whether grub/lilo | 08:40 |
| Rat409 | iirc | 08:40 |
| fraroco | HELLO how to check what kind of ram my machine has | 08:45 |
| LSD|Ninja | fraroco: dmidecode or lshw will probably do the trick | 08:48 |
| Sa[i]nT | I'm trying to install windows into virtualbox, any idea why it would freeze on the installing devices part? | 08:49 |
| sp00n | magnetron, I should unmount file system before running fsck? So since this is my booted partition I will have to run from ivedisc or somethign? | 08:49 |
| sp00n | Sa[i]nT, which windows? | 08:50 |
| magnetron | sp00n: yes | 08:50 |
| newuser_ | hello, is there any software similar to itunes for ubuntu, but that can place in order all of my songs? I have a folder with tons of them, and I do not want to spend days organizing music. Any suggestions? | 08:50 |
| Sa[i]nT | sp00n, Windows XP SP2. | 08:50 |
| sp00n | magnetron, if that doesn't work, is there anything else I could try / topics to research? | 08:50 |
| sp00n | Sa[i]nT, I just did exactly that. I would suggest giving it longer than you think it would need. | 08:51 |
| Sa[i]nT | sp00n, I've given it a while, did it take a long time for you? | 08:51 |
| sp00n | Sa[i]nT, Yes it did. I installed 98SE and XPSP2 in Qemu and both of them ran very slowly; I installed 98SE in VirtualBox and it ran very slowly. XPSP2 runs perfectly in VirtualBox for me. | 08:52 |
| macrobad | newuser_: Have you tried rhythmbox or banshee? | 08:53 |
| sp00n | magnetron, Do you think (the causes of) those error messages are what's causing my Samba issues? | 08:53 |
| sp00n | Sa[i]nT, how long has it been stalled on that screen? | 08:53 |
| mkquist | newuser_: rythmbox maybe | 08:53 |
| Sa[i]nT | sp00n, I'd say 20 minutes. | 08:54 |
| sp00n | Sa[i]nT, I would say give it 5 or 10 more minutes and if no progress, reboot your VM and reinstall Windows | 08:55 |
| Gin | can you listen to an internet radio through banshee? | 08:56 |
| magnetron | sp00n: file system corruption is serious business. the problems you see now are just the tip of an ice berg. yes, the hard disk corruption has damaged your libs, and samba is one of the apps that is using these libs. you should run a fsck ASAP. | 08:56 |
| LMJ | hello the chan | 08:56 |
| eth01 | magnetron: how can you possibly suggest the such? you can't. | 08:59 |
| sp00n | magnetic, from http://answers.google.com/answers/threadview?id=786136 : The cause according to http://www.vmware.com/community/thread.jspa?messageID=480361 appears to be a library mismatch between the system used to create the executable program and the system you are running the program on. | 09:00 |
| eth01 | it could be something else. | 09:00 |
| sp00n | oops wrong person | 09:00 |
| dstrbdfrk1 | does evolution mail work with hotmail ? | 09:00 |
| kontagious | hey is there a way i can resize my ubuntu partitian to put windows on my hard drive.. i've booted gparted from a live cd and when i go press apply it gives me an error with a bunch of boxes i cant read | 09:00 |
| macrobad | Gin: sure. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Banshee_(music_player) | 09:00 |
| LSD|Ninja | dstrbdfrk1: not without some kind of proxy between it and hotmail I'd imagine | 09:00 |
| dstrbdfrk1 | whats that mean ..... im new at this | 09:01 |
| zeroC | what is better for a notebook with a turion processor? the amd64 installer or the i386? | 09:01 |
| eth01 | amd64 | 09:01 |
| fraroco | LSD|Ninja, yes It does ... thanks | 09:01 |
| user_ | dstrbdfrk1: you might join /evolution and check the FAQ in their channel topic | 09:01 |
| sp00n | eth01, are you referring to the suggestion given to me? | 09:02 |
| dstrbdfrk1 | ok | 09:02 |
| eth01 | sp00n: indeed. | 09:02 |
| dstrbdfrk1 | thanx | 09:02 |
| zeroC | eth01: cool, thanks, there are no restrictions or sth. like that? | 09:02 |
| dstrbdfrk1 | one more question where is everyone getting the list of chat channels? | 09:02 |
| philsf | dstrbdfrk1: are you aware that hotmail only works for paid support? | 09:02 |
| LSD|Ninja | philsf: so does Yahoo mail but there's still YPOPS! ;) | 09:03 |
| eth01 | zeroC: just install it ;) | 09:03 |
| zeroC | ;) | 09:03 |
| sp00n | eth01, I do not think my disk is corrupted, although I don't know enough to say running fsck won't fix the problem | 09:04 |
| philsf | LSD|Ninja: oh? | 09:04 |
| * philsf googles | 09:04 | |
| dstrbdfrk1 | ?paid support what do you mean i dont pay for my addy | 09:04 |
| eth01 | zeroC: :) | 09:04 |
| zeroC | eth01: ok, i still ask, because in the past i had severeal problems with the flashplayer... | 09:04 |
| LSD|Ninja | I've never bothered looking into what kinds of POP/SMTP proxies exist for Hotmail though since I just use Outlook on Windows to access it | 09:04 |
| zeroC | but i give it a try! | 09:04 |

| kontagious | is anyone here good with partitions and gparted | 09:04 |
| dr_Willis | kontagious, why not just ask the real question. :) | 09:05 |
| aXXe | dstrbdfrk1 if you know the pop and smtp info try it and see. | 09:05 |
| kontagious | i did and no one replied | 09:05 |
| kontagious | hey is there a way i can resize my ubuntu partitian to put windows on my hard drive.. i've booted gparted from a live cd and when i go press apply it gives me an error with a bunch of boxes i cant read | 09:05 |
| kontagious | :S | 09:05 |
| dstrbdfrk1 | lol i dont even know what POP stands for | 09:05 |
| user_ | dstrbdfrk1: wikipedia.. | 09:06 |
| dr_Willis | kontagious, gparted can resize the ubuntu partitions. but the uuid's may change. now as to the problems you are having - no idea why cant you 'read' the errors? | 09:06 |
| danielm_mc | -- question about itunes -- sry don't know who to direct this to, but is there anything out there that actually allows linux to interface with an ipod or an iphone? stock | 09:06 |
| kontagious | the font isnt there | 09:06 |
| dr_Willis | kontagious, ive often had to do gparted resizing in steps. do one thing.. reboot machine.. do next stuff. and so forth. | 09:06 |
| kontagious | its just a bunch of error boxes | 09:06 |
| aXXe | POP is the info for your receiving email, smtp is the info used to send. | 09:06 |
| macrobad | kontagious: nobody replied, because how we can read your errors, if you yourself cannot? | 09:06 |
| dr_Willis | You may want to try some other live cd that has gparted in that case. | 09:06 |
| kontagious | well i was hoping for a common problem | 09:07 |
| mastrgamr | test | 09:07 |
| macrobad | kontagious: try starting gparted from a terminal | 09:07 |
| mastrgamr | anyone on? | 09:07 |
| mastrgamr | oh nvm | 09:07 |
| dr_Willis | kontagious, you areusing the Ubuntu Live cd? | 09:07 |
| zeroC | mastrgamr: sure | 09:07 |
| zeroC | ;) | 09:07 |
| mastrgamr | lol | 09:07 |
| kontagious | macrobad: i have but i cant resize it because its in use | 09:07 |
| kontagious | dr_Willis: im using the gparted live cd | 09:07 |
| nano_ | Is PulseAudio a sound server, or just a sound mixer....i would think the technically correct term would be "mixer" because PulseAudio doesn't work with hardware at all, it simply deals with ALSA or OSS... | 09:08 |
| dr_Willis | nano_, i though it went 'hardware -> alsa -> pulse audio -> end user apps' | 09:08 |
| nano_ | Also, if you think about it, PulseAudio replaces dmix (an integral component of ALSA)..therefore it is incorrect to call PulseAudio a server, instead it should be called a mixer | 09:08 |
| macrobad | kontagious: Hmm.. I mean, start terminal, type 'sudo gparted' and try to repeat your actions that lead to errors. Gparted should start up in its own window, and probably print error messages in the terminal. | 09:09 |
| dr_Willis | Just another of the Yummy Cake we call Ubuntu! | 09:09 |
| danielm_mc | blegh, no one answered on interfacing with a iphone/ipod | 09:09 |
| danielm_mc | anyone ever hooked an ipod up to a linux box? | 09:10 |
| mastrgamr | i need help installing nVidia drivers (problem is i cant) can somebody help | 09:10 |
| nano_ | dr_Willis, you are right, and if PulseAudio wasn't there it would be hardware --> alsa (or OSS) --> dmix (part of alsa) --> end user application | 09:10 |
| kontagious | macrobad: sorry i meant to say i select my dev/sda and i cant resize it.. i figured because it was in use | 09:10 |
| magnetron | danielm_mc: yes. | 09:10 |
| Lukipela | So.. what would be the reason my install will only recognize 3/4 of my screen? have an old pentium 3 laptop. | 09:11 |
| kontagious | i could resize it when i booted the live cd but couldnt apply the changed | 09:11 |
| kontagious | changes* | 09:11 |
| Lukipela | i have a big black border :( | 09:11 |
| sp00n | eth01, do you know what else could cause the "no version information available" error or how to fix it? | 09:11 |

| mastrgamr | installer??? | 09:12 |
| zeroC | Jorj: what questions? | 09:12 |
| Lukipela | my question has stumped the room! muahaha | 09:12 |
| sp00n | magnetron, I have other applications that also give this error and they run fine, and I'm fairly certain samba gave this error when it worked OK. I don't think it's the root of the samba issue. | 09:12 |
| Jorj | i have two users on my system | 09:12 |
| Jorj | and i am a root kind of user | 09:12 |
| mastrgamr | sorry im totally new to linux | 09:12 |

| macrobad | kontagious: No, you cannot resize your root partition from a running system. However, it should be possible to resize it seamlessly from a live cd. I recon gparted was giving a windows with two buttons if any errors occured, and those buttons were "Save report" and "Exit". Do you observe it? | 09:18 |
| Lukipela | Ok, so i will attempt this again.. After installing Ubuntu my screen has large black borders around it. When I go to update my drivers it says my system is not using any proprietary drivers, what am i doing wrong? | 09:18 |

| mastrgamr | if it makes any difference i have the nvidia hardware available to be enabled on the hardware manager... i just cant enable it because i get an error | 09:20 |
| zeroC | which error | 09:21 |
| macrobad | kontagious: That's precisely the reason people are using Ubuntu Live CD for resizing partitions. There is a proper GUI, and it works well. Anyway, you should try to save that report and read it... well, perhaps back from Ubuntu. Otherwise, you may try to use a CLI web broser, e.g. links2, lynx, w3m or something like that. | 09:21 |

| raboof | user_: if i understand correctly, the Coda file system lets me do something similar with network disks - can't believe it's not possible locally then :) | 09:24 |
| mastrgamr | Guys this is what i get as an error from trying to install the nvidia driver... http://paste.ubuntu.com/23478/ | 09:25 |
| macrobad | mastrgamr: Looks like your library dependencies got corrupted. Try running 'sudo depmod -a' to check and fix them. | 09:25 |
| kontagious | macrobad: well i have a feeling it will work and if not it will at least i will have a good error message.. worst case scenario i will format and reinstall both os's | 09:26 |
| kontagious | macrobad: thanks for your help :D | 09:26 |
| kontagious | macrobad: hopefully i don't have to come see you again | 09:26 |
| macrobad | kontagious: Np. Have a nice day! | 09:26 |

| ubottu | pastebin is a service to post multiple-lined texts so you don't flood the channel. The Ubuntu pastebin is at http://paste.ubuntu.com (make sure you give us the URL for your paste - see also the channel topic) | 09:27 |
| mastrgamr | nothing happens when i put 'sudo depmod -a' | 09:27 |
| mastrgamr | something supposed to happen? | 09:27 |
| user_ | raboof: coda uses a local cache, ext2 or ext3 is not designed for that, also its not designed as a "network file system" | 09:27 |
| danielm_mc | bah, no iphone on linux | 09:28 |
| danielm_mc | crappy | 09:28 |
| macrobad | mastrgamr: Well, not obligatory. There might be an error in the package as well, if everything is OK with your libraries. | 09:28 |
| raboof | user_: i don't mind dropping ext2 or ext3 for something alternative | 09:28 |
| user_ | danielm_mc: crappy iphone i would say ;-) | 09:28 |
| mastrgamr | how can i fix that? | 09:28 |
| dr_Willis | danielm_mc, demand a refund. | 09:28 |
| danielm_mc | pfshayeahexactly | 09:29 |
| danielm_mc | i'm going to att right now | 09:29 |

| raboof | user_: i wonder if i could do something like 'flush local cache, disconnect from local coda server, shutdown local coda server, hibernate, start local coda server, reconnect and continue' | 09:29 |
| === nick_riviera is now known as m4jkl | ||
| raboof | coda's just an example, there might be systems much better suited to the task - that's why I'm asking here :) | 09:30 |
| macrobad | mastrgamr: wtf? /usr/lib32.. ?? I've never seen such a folder on linux, and it sounds sooo windowish, just like system32... | 09:30 |
| nadalizadeh | Any one knows where can i download an older kernel package (i.e 2.6.17-generic) ? | 09:30 |
| mastrgamr | lol........... it is windows, i used Wubi | 09:30 |
| nadalizadeh | archive.ubuntu.com deletes the older ones .... | 09:30 |
| berent | nadalizadeh: kernel.org | 09:30 |
| user_ | raboof: sounds possible to me, its not the primary coda usage goal, but nice for your purpose. you might get more info in a coda channel or #debian (tec savy channel) | 09:31 |
| nadalizadeh | no, not the source | 09:31 |
| nadalizadeh | berent: I want the official package | 09:31 |
| raboof | user_: k, thanks for the encouragement! | 09:32 |
| macrobad | mastrgamr: hahaha! I don't have any experience with it, but you may try to find the file libGL.so.1 somewhere else, e.g. in /usr/lib/ and copy it there. Do you have /usr/lib? | 09:32 |
| mastrgamr | yea i do | 09:33 |
| timob | how do I mount the / as read only? .... I get / in use when I try mount -o remount -o ro / in runlevel 1 | 09:33 |

| mastrgamr | I have a usr/lib folder | 09:35 |
| mastrgamr | and a libGL.so.1 file | 09:36 |
| macrobad | kontagious: It's a trick! Try http://cdimage.ubuntu.com/releases/hardy/release/ | 09:36 |
| kontagious | macrobad: :) thanks again | 09:38 |
| macrobad | mastrgamr: So, copy it to the folder where it is expected to be by the package. A side question: why do you need to install nvidia drivers with Ubuntu? Since you're working in windows anyway, and it has its own drivers, that should be unnecessary! | 09:38 |
| macrobad | kontagious: you're welcome! | 09:38 |
| kontagious | macrobad: just to confirm.. it has gparted right | 09:38 |
| donda | can any one suggest me a software for accelerating the download speed | 09:39 |
| LSD|Ninja | donda: change mirrors | 09:39 |
| macrobad | kontagious: if you wish, I can boot it meanwhile on a spare machine and check. | 09:39 |
| mastrgamr | wubi uses its own files, it doesnt borrow from windows | 09:39 |
| areels | i have installed turkish keyboard there is only turkish keyb in the list but my keyboard is still english why is that | 09:40 |
| donda | LSD|Ninja:which mirrors | 09:40 |
| kontagious | macrobad: could you :) | 09:40 |
| LSD|Ninja | donda: the mirrors for whatever it is you're downloading | 09:40 |

| solrize | what's the package for the gcc library docs? | 09:41 |
| SliMM_ | hello | 09:41 |
| macrobad | kontagious: someone next room must have not returned it to me... be back in 10 min. :) | 09:41 |
| kontagious | ok :D | 09:41 |
| SliMM_ | how can i find information about the hardware in my computer? | 09:41 |
| LSD|Ninja | SliMM_: dmidecode or lshw | 09:41 |
| orphean | solrize: not sure what you mean by 'library' the docs for gcc live in gcc-<version>-doc packages. ie gcc-4.2-doc | 09:42 |
| SliMM_ | LSD|Ninja: there was some application in gutsy, is it gone? | 09:42 |
| LSD|Ninja | SliMM_: yeah. It sucked anyway so it's one thing I'm not terribly bothered to see go | 09:42 |
| karabash | Hello | 09:43 |
| karabash | Anjuta doesnot work with Hardy Heron | 09:43 |
| Thrym | hi all | 09:43 |
| orphean | karabash: what does it do? | 09:43 |
| karabash | does not build | 09:43 |

| karabash | dunno why | 09:43 |
| pan0983 | wicd hardy freezes on connect anyone know y? | 09:43 |
| macrobad | mastrgamr: yes, sure, but it runs on top of windows anyway, and must use windows to get access to a videocard. I believe. | 09:43 |
| solrize | orphean i installed that but the docs aren't there | 09:44 |
| solrize | i.e. "man putchar" | 09:44 |
| SliMM_ | the "switch wifi on/off" button only works for switching it off, if I accidentally switch it off, i have to restart my computer | 09:44 |
| orphean | solrize: which docs are you looking for though? you meantioned something about a library? do you mean glibc? | 09:45 |
| solrize | yeah, glibc | 09:45 |
| solrize | ok | 09:45 |
| SliMM_ | LSD|Ninja: can I, at least, fully disable it? | 09:45 |
| solrize | i want the man page for putchar | 09:45 |
| SliMM_ | LSD|Ninja: or make it work properly | 09:45 |
| orphean | solrize: glibc-doc | 09:45 |
| solrize | installing | 09:45 |
| solrize | nope, not there | 09:46 |
| solrize | it was someplace pretty obscure | 09:46 |
| solrize | i've been through this before | 09:46 |
| solrize | it's develdocs or something | 09:46 |
| LSD|Ninja | SliMM_: no idea, only wifi hardware I've really messed with under ubuntu has been desktop PCI stuff (so no switch) | 09:46 |

| solrize | but i'm having trouble finding it | 09:46 |

| solrize | install glibc-doc installed 8mb of who knows what | 09:46 |
| areels | l'ke this smb://pc003/tools/ | 09:46 |
| SliMM_ | LSD|Ninja: thanks, i'll try the forums | 09:46 |
| solrize | https://lists.ubuntu.com/archives/kubuntu-users/2007-September/020149.html aha manpages-dev | 09:46 |
| orphean | solrize: man pages i assume :) you can get rid of it. looks like the only package with 'devel docs' apart of it is gnome-devel-docs | 09:47 |
| mastrgamr | I have another problem.. how can i change my screen resolution??? | 09:47 |
| solrize | yeah that worked! | 09:47 |
| LSD|Ninja | SliMM_: yeah, I'm familiar with them on laptops but I haven't really messed around too much with Ubuntu on lappies | 09:47 |

| SliMM_ | inexpensive* | 09:48 |
| solrize | is there any hope of a base installation that includes all this stuff? this is just about the most frustrating aspect of ubuntu, all the missing stuff | 09:48 |
| bignose__ | mince | 09:49 |
| dr_Willis | one mans must have stuff.. is anothers fluff. | 09:49 |
| areels | LSD|Ninja: i didn@t get your point | 09:49 |
| orphean | solrize: ubuntu doesn't really target developers out of the box. they operate under the assumption a developer can but his own kit together. so they use that cd space on the disk for user stuff | 09:49 |
| LSD|Ninja | areels: displayconfig-gtk | 09:49 |
| macrobad | kontagious: Nah, I've booted Ubuntu 8.04 Live CD in VirtualBox, and found out there is gparted! So, it is not even necessary to use a DVD. | 09:50 |
| solrize | gparted? what's that? | 09:50 |
| LSD|Ninja | solrize: a GNOME frontend for parted | 09:50 |

| solrize | oh whoops sorry confused two threads | 09:51 |
| solrize | LSD yeah | 09:51 |
| areels | how can i fix a shortcut to a network mount on desktop? | 09:51 |
| macrobad | solrize: yeah, it was not meant for you. :) | 09:51 |
| LSD|Ninja | solrize: that wasn't supposed to be a compliment :P | 09:51 |
| areels | im adding shortcut to desktop but it disappears on reboot | 09:51 |
| solrize | it's not just development stuff all sorts of stuff is missing | 09:51 |
| solrize | and the development packages are split into 100's of sub-packages that have to be installed separately | 09:52 |
| LSD|Ninja | solrize: you can get most of the desktop stuff by installing *buntu-restricted-extras after you install the base | 09:52 |
| orphean | that's just debian's way solrize. | 09:52 |
| dr_Willis | The pros and cons of package management and meta-packages | 09:52 |
| LSD|Ninja | areels: just run it from the terminal for now | 09:52 |

| areels | im adding shortcut to desktop but it disappears on reboot how can i fix that? | 09:53 |
| solrize | ubuntu-restricted-extras looks like it's mostly media codecs and stuff like that | 09:53 |
| solrize | is there ubuntu-unrestricted-extras? | 09:53 |
| LSD|Ninja | solrize: I did say desktop stuff | 09:53 |
| solrize | ubuntu-extras doesn't exist | 09:53 |
| solrize | restricted seems to mean proprietary stuff | 09:54 |
| solrize | if i wanted to run that, i'd buy a macintosh :) | 09:54 |
| mastrgamr | i have a short cut to a libGL.so.1 (it doesnt exist), and i have a libGL.so.1.2 file.. is the libGL.so.1.2 file a backup up libGL.so.1?? | 09:54 |
| solrize | i guess what i want is "install everything" | 09:54 |
| donda | is there any software available equivalent to tally | 09:54 |
| solrize | Couldn't find any package matching "everything", and more than 40 | 09:54 |
| solrize | packages contain "everything" in their description. | 09:54 |
| LSD|Ninja | solrize: sounds like you want another distro | 09:54 |
| macrobad | mastrgamr: not necessarily. Most likely, they are different versions of the same library. | 09:55 |
| solrize | lsd|ninja yeah, i was using fedora before but we use ubuntu where i work so i'm trying to switch | 09:55 |
| donda | is there any software available equivalent to tally for ubuntu | 09:55 |
| mastrgamr | there anyway i can make the installer use libGL.so.1.2 instead of libGL.so.1? | 09:55 |
| LSD|Ninja | lol, fedora blows | 09:55 |
| areels | im adding shortcut to desktop but it disappears on reboot how can i fix that? | 09:55 |
| solrize | donda if no one answered the first time it's because they don't know, try again in a few hours | 09:55 |
| LSD|Ninja | I don't know how, but Fedora just gets crappier with each new release | 09:56 |
| solrize | lsd|ninja, yeah, it does seem that way | 09:56 |
| macrobad | solrize: why don't you make a list of all required packages one time and forever, and just copy paste it after apt-get install? It's not possible to satisfy all the people at once. | 09:56 |
| macrobad | donda: what is tally? | 09:56 |
| gordonjcp | LSD|Ninja: you could say the same of Ubuntu :-/ | 09:56 |
| solrize | macrobad there are a million bazillion unix systems (linux-based and otherwise) since the dawn of time, and every one of them that i've ever seen except ubuntu has included the man page for putchar | 09:57 |
| LSD|Ninja | gordonjcp: yeah, 8.04 certainly seems to indicate they're going down that road | 09:57 |
| donda | macrobad:it is the software for maintaining banking and accounting | 09:57 |
| LSD|Ninja | solrize: Ubuntu is a desktop distro. dev stuff has no place in the base install | 09:57 |

| solrize | lsd|ninja i'm sympathetic to that, but why isn't there a developer package? "sudo apt-get install developer" | 09:58 |
| solrize | i've been installing packages for weeks and still keep hitting missing stuff | 09:58 |
| orphean | this would probably be better on #ubuntu-offtopic | 09:58 |
| solrize | orphean yeah true | 09:58 |
| molgrum | hello, i would like to downgrade my nvidia-glx-new package so that i can boot the 2.6.22-14 kernel again. i tried the "force version" option in synaptic but it doesn't let me go far enough.. | 09:59 |
| macrobad | solrize: I can feel your pain, but on the other hand no distro I've seen so far was so easy to install and start using, as Ubuntu is. Btw, you may wish to go to https://blueprints.launchpad.net/ubuntu and advocate deriving such a package. | 09:59 |
| un2him | molgrum: can't you just disable the nvidia driver in the restricted drivers panel? | 09:59 |
| macrobad | donda: sry, I cannot help. | 10:00 |
| solrize | looking | 10:00 |
| molgrum | un2him: well i still want the driver in the older kernel :) | 10:00 |
| Lukipela | Why does Ubuntu not give me a full screen?? | 10:00 |
| Lukipela | i have 3 inch black borders. | 10:00 |
| molgrum | i'm suspecting the new kernel is buggy so i would like to downgrade to check | 10:01 |
| LSD|Ninja | Lukipela: try displayconfig-gtk | 10:01 |
| Lukipela | Ok, and i do that how? :D | 10:01 |
| solrize | macrobad - maybe this is a start https://blueprints.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+spec/ubuntu-install-dvd | 10:01 |
| un2him | molgrum: not sure, but you could disable nvidia, then boot to old kernel, then enable nvidia again | 10:01 |
| LSD|Ninja | Lukipela: in the terminal, you may have to call it with sudo | 10:02 |
| Lukipela | k | 10:02 |
| molgrum | un2him: ah, could try that | 10:02 |
| un2him | molgrum: good luck | 10:02 |
| molgrum | thanks | 10:02 |
| Lukipela | Ok, that will work, im going to let my system finish updates befor ei mess with it though, pentium 3's are a bit..stupid. | 10:03 |

| un2him | areels: where does the shortcut link to? maybe an unmounted drive or partition? | 10:05 |
| solrize | macrobad i think that guy is interested in basically the same thing as me, i.e. more stuff in the base installation | 10:05 |
| solrize | and less downloading | 10:05 |
| areels | un2him: a smb location over network | 10:05 |
| abhi_ | dr_Willis, : let me try them. | 10:06 |
| solrize | in my case i want more dev stuff but really, a lot of the very basic unix stuff was missing | 10:06 |

| donda | how to configure sound manager for 5.1 channel audio | 10:07 |
| solrize | lots of missing documentation, a desktop os should never install software without installing the docs for the software | 10:07 |
| macrobad | solrize: "more stuff in the base installation" sounds like "more bloat" to me... At any rate, I think what you're looking for is best described with the phrase "package task". Try 'tasksel --list-tasks' to see existing ones. | 10:07 |

| solrize | that's not just a hardy theme? | 10:13 |
| dr_Willis | magnetron, you mean ssh inside a gnome terminal then? Putty for linux i just tried.. and it has the exact same options/features as the windows one does it seems. | 10:13 |
| pestor | dear all, is it possible to get NetworkManager 0.7 up and running in hardy? | 10:13 |
| pan0983 | networkmanagergnome? | 10:13 |
| pestor | yes | 10:14 |
| pan0983 | sudo apt-get install network-manager-gnome ? | 10:14 |
| LSD|Ninja | Ubuntu already has networkmanager... | 10:14 |
| pan0983 | he said he wanted network manager? | 10:14 |
| magnetron | dr_Willis: i need to do it with the standard ubuntu ssh client... i don't want to be a prick or anything | 10:14 |
| pestor | i dont think that will give me 0.7 | 10:14 |
| LSD|Ninja | pestor: what's in 0.7 that you really need? | 10:14 |
| pestor | i *think* it's only available in fedora by default | 10:14 |
| dr_Willis | magnetron, i THINK its more of an issue with the Terminal you are running SSH in. not ssh itself. | 10:14 |
| magnetron | dr_Willis: ok, thx | 10:15 |
| pestor | the support for my 3g-dongle. i was struggling like crazy to et it working in hardy but eventually failed. in fedora is working out of the box with one click. | 10:15 |
| dr_Willis | magnetron, there may be some variables you can set/locale and stuff.. but ive not messed with that stuff. | 10:15 |
| solrize | macrobad were you going to pastebin a package list? | 10:16 |
| pestor | but of course i dont want to run fedora :) | 10:16 |
| magnetron | dr_Willis: i tried that, but it "didn't work" | 10:16 |
| vox | hi, what work-around is there for the cd-burning bug? | 10:16 |
| redbull_ | how about debian? | 10:16 |
| dr_Willis | magnetron, you did 'export' the changes? there may be a SSH faq somewhere that explains how to do it. | 10:16 |
| solrize | gnome terminal apparently has a character encoding menu | 10:16 |
| LSD|Ninja | pestor: sounds like a driver issue more than a network manager issue | 10:17 |
| magnetron | dr_Willis: i'm having troubles find such FAQs :( | 10:17 |
| geirha | vox: what bug are you referring to? | 10:17 |
| redbull_ | fedora = suck | 10:17 |
| raheem | magnetron: env LANG="<locale>" gnome-terminal .. may be | 10:17 |
| magnetron | solrize: it does? i didn't find it | 10:17 |
| magnetron | solrize: ahhh... thx | 10:17 |
| solrize | click the terminal tab | 10:17 |
| raheem | create a launcher with that .. with the correct locale .. | 10:17 |
| pestor | LSD|Ninja: hmm, maybe your right | 10:17 |
| vox | geirha: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/k3b/+bug/149076 | 10:17 |
| solrize | add encoding | 10:17 |
| ubottu | Launchpad bug 149076 in k3b "I can't write a cd" [Undecided,Confirmed] | 10:17 |
| magnetron | solrize: thx alot! | 10:17 |
| solrize | np | 10:17 |
| dr_Willis | wow a concise bug. :) | 10:18 |
| redbull_ | solar = bug | 10:18 |
| LSD|Ninja | redbull_: Fedora = Ubuntu in a year or two if they insist on putting out crappy releases like 8.04 | 10:18 |
| pan0983 | can i install firefox32bit on ubuntu 64bit? | 10:18 |
| erdem_ | #ubuntu-tr | 10:18 |
| macrobad | solrize: a sec | 10:18 |
| Lukipela | yah, 8.04 is killing me on the older systems i have | 10:18 |
| solrize | ubuntu auto-installed some kind of upgrade on my box yesterday and asked for a reboot and the reboot kernel panicked :( | 10:18 |
| dr_Willis | pan0983, yes - i belive its doable. and No i dont know how. | 10:18 |
| solrize | macrobad thanks | 10:19 |
| vox | i mean serriously, all i want to do is burn an iso | 10:19 |
| Lukipela | lots of video issues, like my screen randomly going black during updates.. like now. | 10:19 |
| redbull_ | i am using Fortran in Ubuntu as well | 10:19 |
| pan0983 | try ubuntu ultimate | 10:19 |
| redbull_ | ultimate ? | 10:19 |
| pan0983 | yeah | 10:19 |
| macrobad | solrize: Ready: http://paste.ubuntu.com/23481/ | 10:19 |
| pan0983 | has a lot of stuff in it | 10:20 |
| pan0983 | got to burn it to dvd | 10:20 |
| geirha | vox: does the bug also encompass brasero? | 10:20 |
| redbull_ | hmm | 10:20 |
| pan0983 | got everything set up | 10:20 |
| macrobad | solrize: I'm sure, we have different interests, though! :) | 10:20 |
| magnetron | pan0983: come on... it's just more packages installed by default | 10:20 |
| pan0983 | yeah | 10:20 |
| pan0983 | thats wat i meant | 10:20 |
| magnetron | pan0983: it's the same packages as in the ubuntu repos | 10:20 |
| pan0983 | rilly? | 10:20 |
| redbull_ | who installed lazybuntu ? | 10:20 |
| magnetron | pan0983: yes | 10:20 |
| pan0983 | oh | 10:20 |
| redbull_ | its not good | 10:21 |
| solrize | macrobad, thanks, i see there's a lot of doc packages, i believe in documentation, i'd be happy to install all the docs for every package ever released even for packages that i don't install | 10:21 |
| redbull_ | its not very well | 10:21 |
| dr_Willis | UbuntuHDFillerUpEdition. | 10:21 |
| solrize | that way if i think i want a package, i can read its docs beforehand | 10:21 |
| Lukipela | dont you hate it when you take a shower and you get out, and dry off, and then forget to rinse your hair? ill brb. | 10:21 |
| solrize | i think there should be "apt-get install all-the-docs-for-everything" | 10:21 |
| pan0983 | i agree | 10:21 |
| solrize | lukipela uhh no i don't think that has ever happened to me .... wow | 10:21 |
| dr_Willis | solrize, make a meta-package then for it. Seen that done by some people for their setups that they perfer. | 10:22 |
| vox | geirha: just trying now | 10:22 |
| macrobad | solrize: np! You should try using synaptic | 10:22 |
| redbull_ | launchpad response speed NOOB!! | 10:22 |
| ue | Good day all, ony one has any experience with bar code readers under ubuntu ? | 10:22 |
| magnetron | !noob | redbull_ | 10:22 |
| ubottu | redbull_: Acronyms or statements like noob, jfgi, stfu or rtfm are not welcome in this channel. Period. | 10:22 |
| magnetron | !anyone | ue | 10:23 |
| ubottu | ue: A large amount of the first questions asked in this channel start with "Does anyone/anybody..." Why not ask your next question (the real one) and find out? | 10:23 |
| macrobad | solrize: All the packages are divided in groups, and you can find the "documentation" group there. | 10:23 |
| solrize | synaptic is a gui thing that confused the heck out of me... i've been using aptitude because it gets the recommended additional packages when you install something, instead of just saying what they are and letting them whiz by the screen | 10:23 |
| solrize | macrobad i pasted your documentation get and it's downloading now | 10:23 |
| redbull_ | !noob | 10:23 |
| ubottu | Acronyms or statements like noob, jfgi, stfu or rtfm are not welcome in this channel. Period. | 10:23 |
| pan0983 | when is flash going to be for firefox64bit sighs | 10:23 |
| redbull_ | ok ok | 10:23 |
| magnetron | !flash64 | pan0983 | 10:23 |
| ubottu | pan0983: You can run Flash, Real, and Java plugins in AMD64 bit computers with Firefox. see the steps to follow at https://help.ubuntu.com/community/FirefoxAMD64FlashJava | 10:23 |
| redbull_ | fine | 10:23 |
| redbull_ | fine fine !!!!!!!!!!!!! | 10:23 |
| vox | geirha: yep, brasero also relies on wodim for burning | 10:23 |
| solrize | can i install a package group? | 10:23 |
| macrobad | solrize: :) | 10:24 |
| redbull_ | anyone using win Vista ??? | 10:24 |
| pan0983 | no | 10:24 |
| ue | whats software can you recomend for implementing a code bar reader system ? I need to scan a bar code and send the output to a php/per lscript | 10:24 |
| redbull_ | haha | 10:24 |
| solrize | did i make a funny? that wasn't intentional | 10:24 |
| redbull_ | vista = rubbish ? | 10:24 |
| pan0983 | *shrugs* | 10:24 |
| solrize | marooned off vista | 10:24 |
| LSD|Ninja | ue: most bar code readers I'm familiar with emulate a keyboard | 10:25 |
| redbull_ | ? | 10:25 |
| solrize | i've seen some bar code stuff around | 10:25 |
| redbull_ | vista = rubbish ? | 10:25 |
| redbull_ | vista = rubbish ?? | 10:25 |
| macrobad | solrize: No, I am not sure it is easily doable, but should be possible, if you a familiar enough with debian package management. | 10:25 |
| ue | LSD|Ninja, I read about that | 10:25 |
| pan0983 | yes | 10:25 |
| fr4nk-k | redbull_: rigth | 10:25 |
| fr4nk-k | :D | 10:25 |
| solrize | google.com/search?q=barcode+linux finds a lot | 10:25 |
| redbull_ | : D | 10:25 |
| redbull_ | : D | 10:25 |
| ue | LSD|Ninja, but I need software that captures that input decodeds it and sends to a script | 10:26 |
| redbull_ | i HATE Visa | 10:26 |
| redbull_ | i HATE Vista !! | 10:26 |
| dr_Willis | solrize, you could use the command line package tools to generate a list of all -doc packages then isntall from that list. I imagine. | 10:26 |
| solrize | dr_willis hmm | 10:26 |
| LSD|Ninja | I just *know* that when I reboot the wifi isn't going to work because the kernel has been upgraded and the fedora software updater doesn't seem to be pulling in the livna packages >_< | 10:26 |
| redbull_ | fr4nk-k: right? | 10:26 |
| ue | solrize, yes find a lot thats the problem, so I am asking maybe some one has any experience with that, so I don't go all the find and try road | 10:27 |
| solrize | macrobad your software install includes a bunch of servers... does the installation script actually start the servers running and listening and open up ports? i'm not sure i want that | 10:27 |
| fr4nk-k | redbull_: yeah, i think vista's sh_t, too | 10:27 |
| solrize | ue oh i see | 10:27 |
| fr4nk-k | redbull_: but that doesn't blong in taht channel | 10:27 |
| macrobad | solrize: I've smiled to someone installing the packages, I've made for myself. Actually, the reason I made it is to free myself from a hassle of customizing all the machines, I'm toying with. | 10:27 |
| macrobad | solrize: Yes, it does. You have to setup iptables, or switch it off. | 10:28 |
| redbull_ | Linux having REDBULL power ? | 10:28 |
| ue | solrize, just some tips about : that actualy this peice of software works, and works how it should with this hardware | 10:28 |
| danielm_mc | anyone had any problems with 8.04 wireless? | 10:28 |
| solrize | ue yeah i remember someone had a cute hack where they used a cuecat reader to catalog their book collection... they read the barcodes and looked up the isbn's on amazon | 10:28 |
| danielm_mc | with madwifi and wpasupplicant? | 10:28 |
| vox | this is making me stabby. | 10:28 |
| solrize | macrobad i think you have the right idea, build up a list of packages and keep re-using it | 10:29 |
| solrize | it would be nice to be able to nest packages | 10:29 |
| ue | solrize, well cuecat in an abandoned project atm, so maybe some other better alternatives | 10:29 |
| solrize | is that possible? | 10:29 |
| solrize | ue yeah that was ages ago | 10:29 |
| redbull_ | how to using printer in command line? | 10:29 |
| macrobad | solrize: btw, may be this would be useful for you too: http://www.debian.org/doc/manuals/securing-debian-howto/ | 10:30 |
| solrize | redbull_ lpr file-to-print | 10:30 |
| redbull_ | thx | 10:30 |
| solrize | macrobad thanks | 10:30 |
| macrobad | np | 10:30 |
| solrize | bookmarking | 10:30 |
| redbull_ | why np? | 10:30 |
| philsf | hello, I just found out about SSL encryption for IRC, and set it up for the OFTC debian irc servers. I can't find out how to do the same for ubuntu (freenode) irc servers. Can any of you point me to some doc with info on this subject? | 10:30 |
| jussi01 | philsf: ask in #freenode | 10:31 |
| solrize | freenode has ssl? | 10:31 |
| jussi01 | but I dont think freenode has ssl | 10:31 |
| solrize | i think it's kind of pointless since most people aren't using it | 10:31 |
| vithos | freenode doesn't have ssl, last i checked | 10:31 |
| SliMM_ | hello, my laptop's specification says that I have 4GB of RAM, but Ubuntu says that I only have 3 | 10:31 |
| solrize | 32 bit? | 10:32 |
| jesus_christoffe | l | 10:32 |
| SliMM_ | I know, they could have been wrong and used a 1GB-chip instead of a 2GB one | 10:32 |
| LSD|Ninja | SliMM_: you probably want the amd64 ubuntu (yes, even if you have a Core 2) | 10:32 |
| macrobad | I don't think you freenode has ssl, but it supports tor | 10:32 |
| macrobad | http://freenode.net/irc_servers.shtml | 10:32 |
| SliMM_ | LSD|Ninja: won't it work awful? | 10:33 |
| macrobad | s/you/ | 10:33 |
| SliMM_ | LSD|Ninja: and I do have core 2 duo | 10:33 |
| solrize | sometimes i think of running openbsd | 10:33 |
| vox | what work-around is there for the cd-burning bug? | 10:33 |
| gordonjcp | solrize: not worth it, tbh | 10:33 |
| _coredump_ | SliMM_, for 32bit you need to recompile your kernel to use more than 3gb ram | 10:33 |
| qingfeng | hello everyone | 10:33 |
| jussi01 | !tor | macrobad | 10:33 |
| ubottu | macrobad: TOR is a project aiming to provide anonymous connections via specialized !proxies - See https://help.ubuntu.com/community/TOR for information and help - Note that TOR is blocked on most Ubuntu IRC channels, please see !hostmask and !tor-gpg | 10:33 |
| solrize | gordonjcp i'm not sure what tbh means but i think i get your drift :) | 10:34 |
| gordonjcp | solrize: OpenBSD is basically NetBSD that doesn't work properly, with a project team headed up by an arrogant nobber | 10:34 |
| orphean | solrize: to be honest | 10:34 |
| quinn | SliMM_, you'd better install the 64Bit | 10:34 |
| solrize | gordonjcp yeah that's about the impression i had... but they do seem to be more vigilant about locking stuff down | 10:34 |
| LSD|Ninja | amd64 is a far better bet than dicking around with options to increase the address space in 32 bit | 10:34 |
| gordonjcp | solrize: yeah, except they're not | 10:34 |
| solrize | oh heh | 10:34 |
| gordonjcp | solrize: they haven't got a *clue* how to do it properly | 10:34 |
| macrobad | jussi01: hmm... Anyway, I don't use it, but thanks. | 10:34 |
| jussi01 | :) | 10:34 |
| gordonjcp | solrize: and then TdR *lies* about how secure it is | 10:34 |
| gordonjcp | solrize: like, the whole "no exploits in ten years thing" - except every time they find an exploit they change what they define an exploit as | 10:35 |
| solrize | hehe | 10:35 |
| gordonjcp | solrize: like for instance a very serious buffer overrun that is a remote root vuln is "errata", not an exploit | 10:35 |
| solrize | i just saw there was another openssl bug in the past few days... i wonder if that affected them | 10:35 |
| gordonjcp | solrize: well the openssl bug that affected Debian, Ubuntu et al was just Debian upstream vandalism | 10:36 |
| solrize | no not that one a new one | 10:36 |
| MrLukipela | Ok, so now, after i set the video drivers to the correct chipset, the screen is completely messed up, and when i try to open a command prompt the system logs me off. | 10:36 |
| solrize | in the past week or so | 10:36 |
| gordonjcp | solrize: people were fiddling with stuff they don't understand | 10:36 |
| jussi01 | !ot | 10:36 |
| ubottu | #ubuntu is the Ubuntu support channel, #ubuntu+1 supports the development version of Ubuntu and #ubuntu-offtopic is for random chatter. Welcome! | 10:36 |
| gordonjcp | jussi01: you're right | 10:36 |
| gordonjcp | solrize: we should take this to #u-ot | 10:36 |
| solrize | gordonjcp yeah that debian thing was outrageous | 10:37 |
| solrize | gordonjcp ok | 10:37 |
| gordonjcp | or stop, before Theo de Raant sends me another snotty email | 10:37 |
| solrize | hahaha | 10:37 |

| pan0983 | wats difference from gksudo and sudo | 10:38 |
| bmw | how can i download the flash video . i try with download helper for Firefox but its not work . | 10:38 |
| bmw | http://www.tnt-tv.ru/programs/ComedyClub/video/156/video06.flv | 10:39 |
| fr4nk-k | pan0983: gksudo loads a graphical application with root rights; sudo is for commadn-line applications | 10:39 |
| pan0983 | thx | 10:39 |
| fr4nk-k | pan0983: np | 10:40 |
| MrLukipela | Ok | 10:40 |
| MrLukipela | So it wont let me change my drivers now | 10:40 |
| MrLukipela | The one it is set to is incorrect, but when i choose the correct one it reverts back at the next screen. | 10:41 |
| jimcooncat | gf pressed a key combination that triggered a massive screen zoom (using Gnome). How to unzoom, please? | 10:41 |
| kidbuntu | someone help | 10:42 |
| fr4nk-k | bmw: well, download helper works on my system ??? | 10:42 |
| kidbuntu | i can't use iphone on my ubuntu | 10:42 |
| magnetron | jimcooncat: in compiz, it's the meta key(windows key) and the scroll wheel | 10:42 |
| jimcooncat | thanks magnetron | 10:42 |
| dr_Willis | i thought the windows key was the 'super' key | 10:43 |
| fr4nk-k | dr_Willis: yes, it is. at least on my system | 10:43 |
| MrLukipela | well i think i fixed the new problem, but im at square one with the original problem, which is i have a big black border around my screen. | 10:44 |
| === wesley__ is now known as enoch | ||
| dr_Willis | the 'tux' key. :) | 10:44 |

| fr4nk-k | exactly | 10:44 |
| MrLukipela | nevermind, new problem still persists, when i go to terminal services the system logs me out | 10:44 |
| MrLukipela | You know, i have done about 10 fresh installs of vista and not had this much trouble. | 10:45 |
| dr_Willis | MrLukipela, it took my new laptop (with vista) about an hr to boot up the first time - it was configrung stuff under vista. :) I installed ubuntu on 2 other machines as the vista laptop was just booting.. | 10:45 |
| bmw | es its works wot hi can download the curent video part :) in the adress bar the video the video link chenchid | 10:46 |
| MrLukipela | But did they work? I installed it fine, but its taken me about 6 hours to get it running, and now, trying to fix a video issue, the system logs me off when i try to change it, which makes NO SENSE at all. Anyways, im going to crash | 10:46 |
| MrLukipela | maybe i can find a solution to it in my sleep ;) | 10:47 |
| kidbuntu | help please for iphone users | 10:47 |

| Templis | and don't know, how to put that server programm in CD | 10:49 |
| MrLukipela | dr_Willis: yes, after i figured that out it was pretty easy to see a solution, but now i get logged out when i try to enter a the command prompt. | 10:50 |
| fr4nk-k | Templis: Some time ago I've found a tool on sourceforge for customizing Ubuntu install cds. Maybe try sf.net for more information?? | 10:50 |

| Tonehog | InsomniaCity`: try validating the CD | 11:00 |
| InsomniaCity` | Tonehog: thats what I'm doing | 11:00 |
| Tonehog | InsomniaCity`: it's probably a CD issue. | 11:00 |

| amber | gluer - im not joking thats the funny part | 11:23 |

| dr_Willis | sea_wolf, put them in your users .fonts directory? | 11:25 |
| dr_Willis | sea_wolf, thats about all i do. | 11:25 |

| fma243 | iwant to delete and make it ext3 | 11:46 |
| howlingmadhowie | noz9010: i know :) but it looks very cool :) | 11:46 |
| Knightly88 | Alright... last question for tonight (hopefully) how do I sudo copy my whole / directory? is there a "super command"? hehe | 11:46 |
| fma243 | any program or command for it | 11:46 |
| dr_Willis | fma243, make sure its unmounted. run gpated and delete the partition.. 'supporting ntfs' has nothng to do with it. | 11:46 |
| dr_Willis | fma243, then after its deleted remake a new partition, of type ext3 | 11:46 |
| fma243 | thanks ill try | 11:46 |
| pan09232 | we can copy whole / directory? | 11:47 |
| dr_Willis | 'format/convert' = much different from 'make a new' :) | 11:47 |
| pwizard88 | err..does anyone know why gcc-4.3 package does not appear in apt-get (I have enabled all the repositories in the conf file)? | 11:47 |
| ketamin[e] | howcome when i try to copy a folder it says omitting directory whatever" ? | 11:47 |
| ketamin[e] | using the cp command | 11:48 |
| zhaozhou | fma243: Deleting a partition will simply delete all the data in that span and rewrite it with your ext3/fat32 filesystem. In a terminal you can use mkfs.ext3 or mkfs.vfat. | 11:48 |
| dr_Willis | ketamin[e], you need to use the -r option, or was it -R.... | 11:48 |
| Knightly88 | !commands | 11:48 |

| dr_Willis | ketamin[e], you may want to read a few bash/shell beginner guides | 11:49 |

| chronographer | Hi all. Anyone know anything about electricsheep? I want to limit its download speed during the day. | 11:52 |
| karabash | he wants something like glib | 11:53 |
| chronographer | Or maybe just block its access tot he internet | 11:53 |
| karabash | cant find it in repo | 11:53 |
| noz9010 | karabash: apt-cache search glib | grep "if you need more" | 11:53 |
| chronographer | Can someone walk me through adding electric sheep to UFW (firewall)? | 11:53 |
| pan09232 | electricsheep? | 11:53 |
| pan09232 | wats that? | 11:53 |
| chronographer | its a screensaver, very pretty | 11:53 |
| pan09232 | oh | 11:53 |
| dr_Willis | !find electricsheep | 11:54 |
| ubottu | Found: electricsheep | 11:54 |
| fma243 | hmm i cant seem to write on the partition | 11:54 |
| chronographer | http://electricsheep.wikispaces.com/Electric+Sheep+FAQ | 11:54 |
| pan09232 | ufw is firewall? | 11:54 |
| pan09232 | right | 11:54 |
| pan09232 | sudo ufw enable? | 11:54 |
| dr_Willis | fma243, well you must run gparted as root. and the partition must not be in use/mounted | 11:54 |
| chronographer | theres a ppa with the latest version, it downloads hi res fractals using bittorrent while its running, then plays them as a screensaver | 11:54 |
| karabash | noz9010: ive already install grep but its like wrong package | 11:54 |
| pan09232 | y would there be a sheep? | 11:54 |
| chronographer | yeah | 11:54 |
| chronographer | so sudo ufw disable electricsheep??? | 11:54 |
| pan09232 | ? | 11:54 |
| fma243 | yea i have turned it into a ext3 but i seem to be unable to write on it | 11:54 |
| fma243 | i cant change its permissions either | 11:55 |
| chronographer | its a run on the book 'androids dream of electric sheep' | 11:55 |
| noz9010 | karabash: could you pastebin the error message from anjuta? | 11:55 |
| chronographer | or something | 11:55 |
| pan09232 | hey this is pretty cool | 11:55 |
| pan09232 | electric sheep | 11:55 |
| sheepminal | yea | 11:55 |
| karabash | there are no build tools/ just compile which doesnt work | 11:55 |
| dr_Willis | fma243, you mean as a user? well a user has no permissions to things thats not owned by him. Make a directyory on the hd. and as root, chown it to be owned by the user in question. is one way | 11:55 |

| pan09232 | wat does ufw have to do with the sheep | 11:56 |
| karabash | info is in polish so its useless but it says that cant find grep | 11:56 |
| gluer | im gonna have my bitch! why after installing updates for a stable release can they just destroy my sound capabilities..? | 11:56 |
| dr_Willis | pan09232, i think he wants to open a port in the firewall for the program | 11:56 |
| chronographer | so electric sheep downloads heaps of great screensavers, but I want to limit or shut off its internet access. How can I do this? | 11:56 |
| pan09232 | oh | 11:56 |
| karabash | geez glib | 11:56 |
| dr_Willis | chronographer, not very easially i imagine. :) linux's firewalling dosent work that way. | 11:57 |
| dr_Willis | chronographer, the program may have such settings allready | 11:57 |
| pan09232 | ufw is confusing | 11:57 |
| usicow | I have an ubuntu 7.04 server, whats the safest way to upgrade it to 8.04? | 11:57 |
| pan09232 | i used to use firestarter | 11:57 |
| chronographer | i looked, limited preferences | 11:57 |
| dr_Willis | it is? its just a front end to iptables with a simple comman dline interface | 11:57 |
| pan09232 | do we need firewall? | 11:57 |
| karabash | noz9010: **error** You must have glib installed | 11:57 |
| gluer | pan: firestarter is just a front end for iptables... | 11:57 |
| dr_Willis | !throttle | 11:57 |
| ubottu | Sorry, I don't know anything about throttle | 11:57 |
| dr_Willis | I recall some way to limit net access of apps.. but i dont rember the specifics.. if thats all you want to do | 11:58 |
| karabash | Only compile autogenerate and Execute program are avaiable | 11:58 |
| chronographer | iptables is a firewall, firestarter is a GUI for it, as is UFW. firestarter locks up my computer at boot if I have it installed | 11:58 |
| IndoRama | usicow:System -> Admin -> Update manager worked fine for me | 11:59 |

I can sudo cp to it fine... except for files/folders currently being used... my question is: "how do I: sudo cp -r / /media/mydrive" from the terminal while not using my OS?

| dayz_man-w | hi | 12:20 |
| Chrysalis | how do you all keep track of different commands? sure the basics are easy to remember but there has to be a better way to spending hours at man pages... maybe something like bookmarks etc? | 12:20 |
| kahrytan | bazhang, but i figured it out. Clicking revert button in changing icon does the trick | 12:20 |
| bazhang | Night_Owl, I just man'd chroot and there is a command there to get you going (its a very short read btw) | 12:20 |
| bazhang | Chrysalis, you break stuff and fix it mostly | 12:21 |

| kahrytan | Chrysalis, wait a moment | 12:21 |
| molgrum | ok so i removed my nvidia drivers, and rebooted into 2.6.22-14. sure enough my usb mouse works flawlessly here but i cannot see any option to reinstall the nvidia drivers for this kernel? | 12:21 |
| bullgard4 | bazhang: No, I mean the CD-ROM. | 12:21 |
| Night_Owl | bazhang: OK, as I said I'm running off the live CD.. it's currently in the GUI at the moment since I'm not really familiar with CLI-level. | 12:22 |
| bullgard4 | bazhang: In order to test its integrity. | 12:22 |
| bazhang | bullgard4, md5 is for the iso not the cd; disk integrity check is for the cd | 12:22 |
| molgrum | also, i would like to file a bug for the latest ubuntu kernel. where do i do that? | 12:22 |
| tapas | bullgard4: md5sum /dev/cdrom | 12:22 |

Im trying to mount a raid that I setup somewhere. 1st I dont know where to put it. 2nd whenever I try and put it somewhere I cant copy to it because i dont have permissions to the damn folder I just setup and 3rd I have no idea on what options I should include in my fstab. | 12:24 |
| bazhang | zoobox, if you upgrade to hardy there is envyng-gtk to install all the latest drivers for ati and nvidia (it is in ubuntu repos) | 12:24 |
| Night_Owl | bazhang: I'm aware of that. I just wasn't expecting to have to modify permissions for files I made on my own machine.. but then again, the Live disc doesn't realize it's mine, of course.. lol | 12:24 |
| zoobox | bazhang: aha | 12:24 |
| bazhang | Night_Owl, can you not boot into the install itself and do it via cli that way | 12:25 |
| zoobox | hardy is 8.04, right? | 12:25 |
| bazhang | zoobox, aye | 12:25 |
| zoobox | can I upgrade to that without it changing visual things... I like the default 7.10 background etc... | 12:26 |

| octan21 | the wireless is detectd but in iwconfig appears as unassociated | 12:29 |

| idefine | ati or nvidia? which do you think is better supported? will sli or crossfire be a problem? | 12:31 |
| bazhang | octan21, try sudo dhclient wlan0 | 12:31 |
| octan21 | i am trying to connect to my ADSL using the wireless AP | 12:31 |
| octan21 | the device is eth1 | 12:31 |
| octan21 | but it not works anyway | 12:31 |
| octan21 | no dhcp offers are received... | 12:31 |
| bazhang | then sudo dhclient eth1 octan21 | 12:31 |
| joshu | idefine: No support for crossfire in linux yet. SLI wont be a problem, but you'll not gain _alot_. Not near what you gain in windows, that is. | 12:32 |
| bazhang | octan21, you know how to associate the card with the ap? | 12:32 |
| octan21 | no | 12:32 |
| === joshu is now known as zhaozhou | ||
| bazhang | octan21, let me get you a link | 12:32 |
| octan21 | ok, thanks | 12:32 |
| bazhang | http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=571188 octan21 | 12:32 |
| idefine | zhaozhou: all i really need to do is hook up 4 monitors and do some compiz action. | 12:32 |
| Night_Owl | bazhang: I know it does if I plug it into a GUI setup.. I have no clue at CLI level though. | 12:33 |
| fawqu | does anybody know the name of the application on the right side of the picture? http://www.gnome-look.org/content/preview.php?preview=1&id=73210&file1=73210-1.jpg&file2=73210-2.jpg&file3=73210-3.jpg&name=Slickness+Black | 12:33 |
| zhaozhou | idefine: If you run with one x-server, as in one long desktop, you could use one card and get one of those splitters. | 12:33 |
| bazhang | Night_Owl, how much stuff (in # of GB) do you have to backup? | 12:33 |
| kahrytan | Chrysalis, then add it. | 12:33 |
| octan21 | don´t know if this will help but if i do an iwconfig i see that the AP ssid is detected, the frequency appesrs, the AP adress appearts but it keeps saying UNASSOCIATE (it asks me for the WEP key anyway) | 12:33 |
| octan21 | could it be a WEP issue? | 12:33 |
| idefine | zhaozhou: what splitters? you can do that? | 12:34 |
| Night_Owl | bazhang: Less than a gig.. it could probably fit on a CD if I had any around. | 12:34 |
| bazhang | octan21, you might try with it open to test first of all, then add wep next | 12:34 |
| zhaozhou | idefine: One DVI -> 2 DVI. One some videocards they actually send one->four dvi-splitter. | 12:34 |
| zhaozhou | idefine: but you'll have to use one, long desktop. Don't know what the name of that is. | 12:34 |
| esay | try Pardus 2008 | 12:35 |

| octan21 | i am following the doc you pointed me to | 12:35 |

| bazhang | cgentry72, that is pretty bare bones info, could you clarify | 12:36 |
| idefine | zhaozhou: oh, man, that would be awesome, if you remember what they're called please let me know | 12:36 |

| bazhang | xubuntuuser, in gnome or xfce | 12:39 |
| zhaozhou | idefine: Sir, yes, sir. You know, i think one of those nVidia quadro sends one of those splitters. You could check it out, could get you a thread to follow. | 12:39 |

| CaptainSalty | Anyone here know about the Wubi project | 12:58 |
| magnetron | !wubi | CaptainSalty | 12:59 |
| ubottu | CaptainSalty: Wubi is an Ubuntu installer for Windows users that allows you to install and uninstall Ubuntu like a Windows application, in a simple and safe way. http://wubi-installer.org/support.php for troubleshooting. Please file bugs at http://launchpad.net/wubi/+filebug. | 12:59 |
| noz9010 | !ask | CaptainSalty | 12:59 |
| ubottu | CaptainSalty: 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. :-) | 12:59 |
| CaptainSalty | Is there a project/program that can install another OS like Wubi does (I am trying to make a quad boot system with Windows 98, 2000, XP and Ubuntu) and if I can do that for the 98 and 2000 partitions as well, that would be awesome | 13:00 |
| carlyn_ | noz9010: If you answered - I was disconnected without asking for some reason. | 13:00 |
| Nimblefinger | can anyone explain exactly what apt-get does, specifically things like where it searches for the package you tell it to install? | 13:01 |
| Nimblefinger | !apt-get | 13:01 |
| ubottu | APT is the Advanced Package Tool, which together with dpkg forms the basic Ubuntu package management toolkit. Short apt-get manual: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/AptGetHowto - Also see !Synaptic (Gnome) or !Adept (KDE) | 13:01 |
| Nimblefinger | ahh...should perhaps have thought of that before. | 13:01 |
| danbhfive | CaptainSalty: wubi doesnt do that. It install Ubuntu on a windows partition, without having to create separate partitions | 13:01 |
| CaptainSalty | yeah, I know | 13:01 |
| Serdar | hi, I am looking for a vmplayer package, but there is no one in the package management | 13:01 |
| CaptainSalty | I want to install multiple OS's on one computer, and if I don't have to deal with partitioning, that would make life so much easier | 13:02 |
| danbhfive | CaptainSalty: I think a vm is your only option, like virtualbox | 13:02 |
| noz9010 | Serdar: you can safely use the installer from vmware HQ | 13:03 |
| skillet | virtualbox ftw! | 13:03 |
| CaptainSalty | yeah, but VM won't do what I need. My Retro box is for gaming, and 3d virtualization is not there | 13:03 |
| carlyn_ | CaptainSalty: This helped me http://apcmag.com/how_to_dualboot_vista_with_linux_vista_installed_first.htm | 13:03 |
| danbhfive | CaptainSalty: then I think you are going to have to partition. AFAIK, thats the only way | 13:04 |
| skillet | CaptainSalty, why dont you want to partition? | 13:04 |
| carlyn_ | CaptainSalty: Included how to prepare the hard drive from Windows | 13:04 |
| eth01 | skillet: :) | 13:04 |
| skillet | eth01, ! | 13:05 |
| === clifford is now known as yrjokin | ||
| CaptainSalty | yeah. that stinks. I think Wubi would get alot of attention if it was seporated into an individual project :-D | 13:05 |
| eth01 | skillet: just compiling a new version :-) | 13:05 |
| skillet | new version?! | 13:06 |
| CaptainSalty | I have done partitoning before when I dual booted fedora and XP way back at version 4 | 13:06 |
| eth01 | yes. check the download repo in the next 24 hours or so. | 13:06 |
| eth01 | sunsystems have to manually verify it afaik | 13:06 |
| === mazirama_ is now known as mazirama | ||
| eth01 | (as thats now the main mirror for downloading contrib) | 13:07 |
| === gardar`afk is now known as gardar | ||
| skillet | eth01, i run virtualbox from my windows machine | 13:07 |
| unop | CaptainSalty, it's much easier using vmware or something like it - that way, you always have your primary OS online and you can boot the other OSes without having to go offline | 13:07 |
| CaptainSalty | thanks anyway guys, it's kinda dissapointing, but hopefully it will seporate into a different project eventually | 13:08 |
| eth01 | skillet: ;) | 13:08 |
| CaptainSalty | but unop, I need 3d capabilities, and no VM project supports it natively | 13:08 |
| eth01 | CaptainSalty: virtualbox will | 13:09 |
| skillet | i wodner how virtualbox will run inside a virtualbox vm | 13:09 |
| carlyn_ | If you do an ./configure --prefix=whatever are you stuck with it forever? | 13:09 |
| skillet | hrmm | 13:09 |
| eth01 | skillet: not possible. | 13:09 |
| skillet | how so | 13:10 |
| eth01 | it's possible with expensive hardware which you won't be able to afford :-) | 13:10 |
| unop | carlyn_, not really, but it makes uninstallation of that package quite messy - not advisable | 13:10 |
| carlyn_ | CaptainSalty: What Windows? XP or Vista? | 13:10 |
| chrisj | Is GNU gettext thread safe? Documentation at gnu.org says no but the configure has some flag "--enable-threads={posix|solaris|pth|win32}". I did not have the time yet to dig through the source; what I want is to use gettext in a multi threaded web server with different locales at the same time. | 13:10 |
| * skillet has the DoD budget behind him.... he does what he wants! | 13:10 | |
| carlyn_ | unop: I did a sudo make uninstall - but seem to be stuck with it | 13:11 |
| eth01 | what, intel quad core, 32g ddr3 heh. | 13:11 |
| noz9010 | chrisj: try a devel channel. ubuntu wiki has a page with a channel list | 13:11 |

| carlyn_ | libtool: install: error: cannot install `libjawt.la' to a directory not ending in /home/carlyn/local/lib/classpath | 13:11 |
| chrisj | noz9010: thanks | 13:12 |
| noz9010 | carlyn_: why do you need two versions of classpath? | 13:12 |
| raboof | to report back: i can now leave the files on my usb drive open while hibernating | 13:13 |
| carlyn_ | noz9010: javac is jikes with classpath and then I need the current classpath.... | 13:13 |
| Easynic | Can anyone tell me whereabout on the main drive WINE places the "virtual" c drive by default? | 13:13 |
| carlyn_ | noz9010: but I would be happy to override the installed classpath if allowed... | 13:13 |
| CaptainSalty | carlyn, I want to have XP, 2000, 98 and Ubuntu on the same machine, with XP as the main, and it does not have the hardware for virtualization | 13:13 |
| unop | Easynic, ~/.wine/c_drive | 13:13 |
| noz9010 | raboof: cool, i was user__ once | 13:13 |
| raboof | did it by serving/mounting the usb drive though samba, and modifying the suspend/resume scripts to shut down samba and unmount the usb drive when suspending | 13:13 |
| Easynic | unop: Thank you | 13:14 |
| carlyn_ | noz9010: but I did a sudo make uninstall ... then ./configure with no prefix ... make worked fine.. sudo make install acts like I used prefix | 13:14 |
| raboof | when resuming i mount the drive and restart samba, and continue working | 13:14 |
| chrisj | noz9010: ubuntu-devel says it's not for application developers :-/ ... In #gnu there is nothing going on right now. Do you happen to remember that wiki page? | 13:15 |
| noz9010 | carlyn_: uh, sounds quite deep into the hood to me, you might try another channel in paralell. java classpath like this | 13:15 |
| raboof | noz9010: ah, thanks for the feedback earlier then ;) | 13:15 |

| vamushka | witakr: just use brasero and use the burn image to dvd option | 13:17 |
| xubuntuuser | EverettgM1819: xubuntu uses not much system ressurces... it's quite quick | 13:17 |

| unop | EverettgM1819, oops, download the cd, it's not much different to the regular live CD | 13:23 |
| noz9010 | balbir97: yes, hold on | 13:23 |
| balbir97 | ok, thanks :) | 13:23 |
| mado | hypn0, told me now noz9010 ... F11 was the key! | 13:23 |
| EverettgM1819 | oh it is different a little bit, whats different? | 13:23 |
| mado | sorry for the panic | 13:23 |
| carlyn_ | unop: Then how do I check what I have set as a prefix? and how can I unset the prefix? | 13:23 |
| hugh | hi | 13:24 |
| unop | EverettgM1819, what i mean is, you download the xubuntu .ISO - and burn it like you would do with a regular ISO | 13:24 |
| Gohanx3 | hi, how do you make this change permanent? sudo update-rc.d -f kdm remove <-- everytime I reboot its restored back to normal | 13:24 |
| EverettgM1819 | oh ok jus making sure ok thanx everyone for the help ttyl | 13:25 |
| noz9010 | balbir97: i think its gpm | 13:25 |
| unop | carlyn_, usually, to ./configure, you pass --prefix=/path/to/whatever -- but you might have to do more, check the options to configure. ./configure --help | 13:25 |
| balbir97 | noz9010: ok I am trying to install it | 13:26 |
| Be1 | HI GUYS! im running 8.04. I have a nVidia 7950GT which supports OpenGL 2.0. I have the latest restricted driver. yet my pc does not seem to have the libraries for OpenGL 2.0. could you please advise if there are any libs available and if so where I can find them. Ta, Ben | 13:26 |
| areels | why i cant change keyboard layout? it stucked on english keyboard | 13:26 |
| danbhfive | Be1: curious, how do you know you dont have the libraries? | 13:27 |
| carlyn_ | unop: But afterwards ... how can you check what the prefix is actually set to? After make uninstall I don't understand why its wanting an old prefix | 13:27 |
| noz9010 | areels: you can add a second layout and also activate it with the tick field | 13:27 |
| unop | carlyn_, you need to specify the prefix to the uninstall target because by default, it assumes, you have installed classpath to the default regular location, but you havent | 13:27 |
| Be1 | danbhfive: I have just tried to install Cinelerra - a video editing app. at compilation it refused to compile with opengl enabled | 13:29 |
| Be1 | danbhfive: it said I was missing the libs | 13:30 |
| Moes | Need help with error "undefined video mode" | 13:30 |
| balbir97 | noz9010: you are right, gpm solves my query, thank you :) | 13:30 |
| carlyn_ | unop: Thanks - I going to try to uninstall every classpath and start over... but I think I hearing - remember your prefix, there is no variable to check? | 13:31 |
| legend2440 | Moes: http://blog.edirectories.info/2008/04/how-to-fix-undefined-video-mode-number-in-ubuntu/ | 13:32 |
| unop | carlyn_, that would be correct, there is no way of telling afterwards what the prefix was you used -- which is why i suggest you use a chroot to install the other version of classpath to, that way, you can use the default prefix | 13:33 |
| noz9010 | Be1: apt-cache search opengl gives you a long list for narrowing down the issue more | 13:33 |
| noz9010 | Be1: "apt-cache search opengl" gives you a long list for narrowing down the issue more | 13:33 |
| monka | hiz | 13:34 |
| monka | so im a newb getting ubuntu | 13:34 |
| monka | but im not sure which one to get | 13:34 |
| noz9010 | unop: isnt there something like configure.log written? | 13:34 |
| monka | my comp runs a 32 bit | 13:34 |
| monka | but it has a intel cpu | 13:34 |
| Leefmc | Question: Is there a way to get info on a package _before_ using apt-get install ___? | 13:34 |
| noz9010 | monka: taka i686 | 13:34 |
| perlsyntax | has anyone use the psh shell at all? | 13:34 |
| noz9010 | s/taka/take | 13:34 |
| unop | carlyn_, think of a chroot as a seperate room in your house - with it's own kitchen, living-room, spare-room, etc -- a house within a house - what you do inside the room makes little impact on the rest of the house | 13:34 |
| Jack_Sparrow | monka Welcome.. if you have a question , just ask all on one line as complete as possible and avoid the 3 to 5 word sentences | 13:35 |
| Leefmc | Like version, etc. | 13:35 |
| Jack_Sparrow | monka many intell chips are 32 bit | 13:35 |
| Sergeant_Pony | How come on my bottom task bar I have it set to auto expand and on a reboot it defaults to the top? | 13:35 |
| carlyn_ | unop: what's the difference between mark for removal and mark for complete removal? (search in help didnt help) | 13:35 |
| unop | noz9010, not usually, but that doesn't stop a ./configure script being able to log actions to a file -- in either case, the source directory or other remnants don't usually stay on after the build process, they are deleted | 13:36 |
| Nicke_ | carlyn_: The complete removal also removes any associated configuration files and things like that | 13:36 |
| unop | carlyn_, in the former, only the package's contents are deleted, in the latter, the configuration files are also removed | 13:36 |
| monka | so if my intel chip (intel cebrino duo) is 32 bit i should get the standard ubuntu? | 13:36 |
| monka | centrino* | 13:36 |
| noz9010 | monka: yes | 13:36 |
| Jack_Sparrow | monka In fact, we strongly suggest new users run 32 bit even if they have a 64 bit system until they get a feel for how things work. If you have more than 4 gigs of ram and really need to use it is about the only reason to run 64 bit for now | 13:36 |
| monka | ok | 13:36 |

| noz9010 | itai-michaelson: maybe the reason is filtering from your ISP? | 13:48 |
| unop | itai-michaelson, no, this is to do with your ISPs routers, and other routers along the way -- most likely they have done this to stop people from getting to know the network i.e. to stop hack attacks, etc | 13:48 |
| biz | I'm coming from Debian, so I've tried 'dpkg-reconfigure locales' to get the list of possbile locales, select and generate the ones I need on my system.

| poningru | Nathan406: in virtualbox see if you can put in /dev/cdrom1 or /media/cdrom1 instead | 13:57 |
| hischild | What is the gnome power applet called? I'm trying to use it on fluxbox yet i can't find the name of it. | 13:57 |
| poningru | Nathan406: if that doesnt work do 'mkdir /media/cdrom0' | 13:57 |
| eduritio | thanks very much Jack_Sparrow, hopefully it will fix it! :-) | 13:57 |
| Jack_Sparrow | hischild powernow something | 13:57 |
| Jack_Sparrow | eduritio I wish you luck | 13:57 |
| poningru | if that doesnt work do 'sudo ln -s /dev/cdrom0 /dev/cdrom1' | 13:58 |
| Jack_Sparrow | !find powernow | 13:58 |
| ubottu | Found: powernowd, powersaved | 13:58 |
| poningru | Nathan406: ^^^ | 13:58 |
| hischild | Jack_Sparrow, powernowd? That's the one which handles power settings. There's this small applet on the top right which shows your battery stuff, that's the one i'm looking for. | 13:58 |
| Jack_Sparrow | !info powernowd | 13:58 |
| ubottu | powernowd (source: powernowd): control cpu speed and voltage using 2.6 kernel interface. In component main, is optional. Version 0.97-2ubuntu4 (hardy), package size 25 kB, installed size 132 kB | 13:58 |

| poningru | Nathan406: where are those options? | 13:59 |
| dynamethod | Hi there, has anyone here successfully compiled MySQL workbench on 8.04? if so instructions needed lol | 13:59 |
| noz9010 | poningru: sorry, last quesition. so that means chinese user can access chinese website from ip from europe f.e. but traffic is unencrypted? | 13:59 |
| hischild | poningru, yes. And what's the name of it so i can use it on fluxbox? | 13:59 |
| alt- | hello | 13:59 |
| poningru | hischild: not sure if you can use it in fluxbox... can you add gnome-panel applets to fluxbox? | 13:59 |
| Jack_Sparrow | hischild I will think of it in a minute | 13:59 |
| hischild | Jack_Sparrow, thank you. | 14:00 |
| Jack_Sparrow | hischild I think I know the one, but the name escapes me | 14:00 |
| Leefmc | Question: How would you create a command for the Console? I want to be able to run a bash script from anywhere, without having to name the directory structure. | 14:00 |
| hischild | poningru, i'm fairly sure it's just a program that can be docked, like pidgin and xchat but without the full screen stuff. I've done it with nm-applet and now i'm looking for the battery. | 14:00 |
| hischild | Jack_Sparrow, Should the name come to you, would you mind giving me a shout? | 14:00 |
| poningru | noz9010: what tor essentially does is connects you with a tor volunteer and then encrypts the data between you and the volunteer, then all your traffic comes out of the volunteers end | 14:01 |
| Jack_Sparrow | hischild sure | 14:01 |
| Nathan406 | poningru: in the area were i should choose host drive | 14:01 |
| eth01 | Leefmc: alias | 14:01 |
| eth01 | man alias | 14:01 |
| Jack_Sparrow | hischild there shold be one in gdesklets.. but there is a different one that I think you want | 14:01 |
| Leefmc | eth01: Ty | 14:01 |
| poningru | Nathan406: no those make sense | 14:01 |
| poningru | dont change those | 14:02 |
| Pas | i have installed ubuntu as a program under windows but i still like to use the windows documents how can i do this? | 14:02 |
| soulchild | Hi all, how can i view a svgz file (gzipped svg Graphic) | 14:02 |
| poningru | just do the 'mkdir /dev/cdrom0' | 14:02 |
| Agion | why dont my sounds work? | 14:02 |
| soulchild | Agion: more detailös | 14:02 |
| Nathan406 | poningru: CD/DVD-ROM | 14:02 |
| poningru | !sound | agion | 14:02 |
| ubottu | agion: If you're having problems with sound, first ensure ALSA is selected, by double clicking on the volume control, then File -> Change Device (ALSA Mixer). If that fails, see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Sound - https://help.ubuntu.com/community/SoundTroubleshooting - http://alsa.opensrc.org/DmixPlugin - For playing audio files, see !Players and !MP3 | 14:02 |

| Jack_Sparrow | bmw no in here please.. locos need to go to #ubuntu-irc I believe | 14:29 |
| WalloO | halfSource, eclipse is the best ide. It's in your repository (synaptic). However, a new version (3.4 Ganimede) is available at eclipse.org. You don't have to install it, just unack somwhere and run eclipse. | 14:29 |

| Jack_Sparrow | bmw That is where your questions will be answered | 14:31 |
| halfSource | WalloO: i just need it for simple stuff, high school comp class | 14:31 |
| Jack_Sparrow | !sudo | 14:31 |
| ubottu | 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) | 14:31 |
| zipper | halfSource, there are many good IDE's for linux... KDevelop, eclipse, code::blocks | 14:31 |
| WalloO | Quicksilva, is there a way to get ATI cards temperature? | 14:31 |
| Jack_Sparrow | !gksudo | 14:31 |
| ubottu | If you need to run graphical applications as root, use « gksudo », as it will set up the environment more appropriately. Never just use "sudo"! (See http://psychocats.net/ubuntu/graphicalsudo to know why) | 14:31 |
| zipper | halfSource, not sure which would be better for java though | 14:31 |
| Quicksilva | WalloO, not sure man sorry | 14:32 |
| halfSource | zipper: ill try eclipse, ive used it once before | 14:32 |
| fma243 | ubuntu isnt detecting my sound what should i do | 14:32 |
| WalloO | halfSource, ok. But eclipse is really the best thing you can find for Java. There is no ide which can be better than eclipse. It's really too good. If you use another one after eclipse, you will cry. | 14:32 |
| bmw | i have many questions . I WONT install my ati card but its show me en error | 14:32 |

The refactoring option is really good to rename one variable everywhere, move a class, do all this things which usually are a headack | 14:34 |

| bazhang | !paste > guss606 | 14:39 |
| ubottu | guss606, please see my private message | 14:39 |
| Jack_Sparrow | guss606 BAd bad bad.. use the pastebin | 14:39 |
| WalloO | Psykar, eclipse is for java first, but it support plugins for C/C++, PHP, Python, and many others. I use it to code my screenlet in python | 14:39 |
| hischild | definitely, that's normal with the nvidia drivers. They report the wrong frequency despite working at the correct one. | 14:39 |
| bmw | i past my question in your Pastebin and now haw qen i see the answer | 14:40 |
| definitely | hischild: So they show 53 Hz, but they working onl 75 ? | 14:40 |
| poningru | give us the link | 14:40 |
| guss606 | i'm sorry i didnt know | 14:40 |
| miSsil | I want to know that I do command in the terminal to install a program and a plugin | 14:40 |
| halfSource | WalloO: i use C in robotics so a C ide would be great, ill try it with eclipse, r there just other modules for that that i need to install? | 14:40 |
| bazhang | miSsil, sudo apt-get install packagename | 14:40 |
| hischild | definitely, yes. My main pc reports working at 51 Hz and my laptop at 52 Hz, though they work on 75 Hz each. | 14:40 |
| Psykar | Thanks WalloO, and poningru, true somewhat, but larger source files get annoying without one at times >.< | 14:40 |
| miSsil | thx | 14:41 |
| bazhang | np | 14:41 |
| WalloO | halfSource, go to ecliupse.org, you will find everything you need | 14:41 |
| miSsil | kiss for you :d | 14:41 |
| guss606 | ok i paste the error message there | 14:41 |
| bmw | i can install may driver licke restractid driver . bud i wont it install with original drivers | 14:41 |
| definitely | hischild: aaaa ok good to know, nice to hear :} thnank you alot | 14:41 |
| definitely | :) | 14:41 |
| hischild | yw | 14:41 |
| co_cakepz_lg_Sed | i love bibeh | 14:41 |
| WalloO | hischild, use nvclock if nvidia driver sucks for frequency... | 14:41 |
| halfSource | WalloO: ok, right now its installing with the package manager then ill check out the site | 14:41 |
| bazhang | co_cakepz_lg_Sed, please chat in #ubuntu-offtopic | 14:42 |
| definitely | hischild: You use envy drivers or simple | 14:42 |
| definitely | ? | 14:42 |
| hischild | WalloO, why would i use something when i know the frequencies are correct? i don't mind if it reports them being wrong. | 14:42 |
| hischild | definitely, the restricted drivers, not envy. I've heard to many doom stories to even try it. | 14:42 |
| WalloO | halfSource, package on the web site don't need to be installed. that's the good thing. You can put it in yourt account folder and run from it. | 14:42 |
| bmw | question in there http://paste.ubuntu.com/23513/ | 14:42 |
| definitely | hischild: Ok thnx for info, do you know is it hard to make automount windows partitions ? | 14:42 |
| guss606 | http://paste.ubuntu.com/23514/ ok here is the error i have when i try to update | 14:43 |
| Psykar | definitely, it should do it by default | 14:43 |
| WalloO | hischild, just a suggestion... it can be used to report temperature too for 8800GT (nvidia drivers can'T) | 14:43 |
| === mazirama__ is now known as mazirama | ||
| definitely | Psykar: I mean mount on boot, to have icons on desktop | 14:43 |
| hischild | WalloO, i don't watch temps, that's what i have a bios for. It reports those for me :) | 14:43 |
| poningru | bmw: try uninstalling the fglrx and reinstalling the thing | 14:43 |
| WalloO | hischild, never saw a bios reporting video card temperature. | 14:43 |
| Psykar | definitely, that is what I meant... at least for me windows partitions are mounted on boot automatically onto the desktop. Your's arnt? If so, what format are they? | 14:44 |
| hischild | definitely, you can edit your /etc/fstab to do that. Add a new line for your windows partitions and instead of just defaults use defaults,force | 14:44 |
| hischild | WalloO, it monitors them and shuts down my pc if it goes over a limit. It monitors my southbridge, cpu and gpu. | 14:44 |
| definitely | Psykar: Yes mine not, they are NTFS | 14:44 |
| hischild | Psykar, it depends on the type of installation. Alternate doesn't mount by default, desktop does sometimes. | 14:44 |
| MolePrince | Ubuntu hardy heron, kernel 2.6.24-19-server, my wired connection will randomly drop connection with eth0 watchdog timeout spam and I must reboot. This is on a headless server, so serious issue. How may I fix this, please? | 14:44 |

| WalloO | hischild, which motherboard do you have to monitor gpu temperature? | 14:45 |
| bazhang | bmw, this is for ati video card? | 14:45 |
| hischild | an asus one, not sure which model. | 14:45 |
| halfSource | WalloO: ok good all set up | 14:45 |
| Psykar | hischild, guess I just thought because it worked for me... :P | 14:45 |

| Quicksilva | does anyone know the terminal command to check if my graphics drivers are working properly :SSSS | 14:46 |
| guss606 | please guys, can anyone help me | 14:46 |
| hischild | Quicksilva, glxinfo | grep -i direct | 14:46 |
| bazhang | Quicksilva, which card | 14:46 |
| WalloO | hischild, but I don't understand how your motherborad can monitor gpu temperature since even nvidia drivers may not be able in some cases... | 14:46 |
| Quicksilva | im using ati 9600xt | 14:47 |
| Quicksilva | hischild, thanks | 14:47 |
| WalloO | hischild, except if your gpu is embedded on the motherboard | 14:47 |
| hischild | WalloO, my gfx card is able to monitor it and sends that data to my mobo. My old gfx card couldn't and neither could my mobo then. (ati x1300 before, current is 8600GT) | 14:47 |
| Quicksilva | hmmm it returns with yes for direct rendering yet no opengl games work | 14:47 |
| bmw | i instalall packeg but in this packeg ts tel me error fglrx-kernel-source_8.501-0ubuntu1_i386.deb . i install the envyng-gtk but when i enable the compiz its not work | 14:48 |
| hischild | Quicksilva, do you have compiz enabled when you try to play a game? | 14:48 |
| Quicksilva | glxgears also gives me decent results | 14:48 |
| Psykar | Quicksilva, do you get any error messages if you open the game from a terminal? | 14:48 |
| Quicksilva | nope compiz is off | 14:48 |
| bazhang | bmw now run envyng-gtk | 14:48 |
| Jack_Sparrow | Quicksilva Have you tried turning off compiz before trying to runt ehm | 14:48 |
| bazhang | bmw it is in applications system tools | 14:48 |
| bmw | now i download the ati 8.34.8-x86.x86_64.run and tray with tis won its older but its original | 14:48 |
| nogagplz | hmm, since when was the use of envy sanctioned? | 14:48 |
| nogagplz | i thought it was frowned upon... | 14:49 |
| Quicksilva | tcompiz is off. and if i start the game the screen goes blank and says try running with desktop set to 1280 by 1024 at 60hz | 14:49 |
| bazhang | nogagplz, this is in the linux restricted modules now | 14:49 |
| Quicksilva | which i tried but just says the same thing | 14:49 |
| Jack_Sparrow | nogagplz Not ENVY.. from online the one we tweaked and added to our repo | 14:49 |
| Quicksilva | I can run openGL screensavers fine too | 14:49 |
| WalloO | hischild, woaw... your a lucky guy... My asus 8800GT is not able to report accurately the temperature. So I don't excpect my Asus motherboard to be able to retreive it..... | 14:49 |
| Na-Fiann | does anyone know why simple c-style variable manipulation doesn't work in bash on ubuntu? - a command like (( a = 3 )) should evaluate in bash right? why doesn't this work on ubuntu? | 14:49 |
| bmw | who can me say what the defferans of ati original drivers and ubuntu restractid drivers ??? | 14:49 |
| nogagplz | oh, well, I guess that makes it alright then. | 14:49 |
| Jack_Sparrow | Quicksilva I had some games like sauerbratten that needed a command line for the res I wanted to use because I have a wide screen | 14:50 |
| Leefmc | Question: How do you get arguments in a bash script? I want to pass all arguments given to an aliased bash script, to a python script. (python myfile.py) | 14:50 |
| guss606 | guys please i need help | 14:50 |
| Raiders32 | Hi I'm using Hardy. How do you tell Update Manager to ignore updates for specific packages? When I uncheck the one I want to ignore it is still checked when I restart update manager. | 14:50 |
| Psykar | Leefmc, $1 $2 etc | 14:50 |
| hischild | WalloO, i've had my share of bad luck before though. my first 8600GT was broken, so i spend 10 hours fixing ubuntu thinking that was the problem. then it really broke down and i returned it for warranty, after which i got my current card which is able to do it all properly, including monitoring temperature. | 14:50 |
| bmw | heloo | 14:50 |
| Leefmc | Psykar: Is there a wildcard though? For example, i don't want to force an argument requirement. I want "$1" to be optional | 14:51 |
| Psykar | if [ $1 ]; then; (do stuff); fi; | 14:51 |

| halfSource | how would i install windows without wiping out the GRUB bootloader | 14:52 |
| Quicksilva | Jack_Sparrow, yeah... i tried running a game not even in full screen and it gave loads of artifacts and completely unplayable | 14:52 |
| Luftetari | hi all | 14:52 |
| WalloO | hischild, I bought an asus since I though asus was good. But my 8800 gt don't have standard temperature sensors (they save some money), so nvidia driver can't report temperature. I had to patch nvclock to be able to have the temperature reported correctly. That'S really bad... | 14:52 |
| Jack_Sparrow | Leefmc sudo apt-get install abs-guide | 14:53 |
| magnetron | halfSource: you install windows first. | 14:53 |
| hischild | WalloO, so basically it HAS a sensor in it, but the drivers can't report the temp? that sux man. .. | 14:53 |
| Jack_Sparrow | Quicksilva That wasnt what I suggested | 14:53 |

| Leefmc | Jack_Sparrow: Ah, k. I was just trying to use console hehe | 14:54 |
| Jack_Sparrow | Leefmc synaptic shows a blurb on the package.. you can get info from cli though | 14:54 |
| WalloO | hischild, in fact there is not the standard sensor which is used on all card and by all software to get temperature. There is only an embedded sensor (embedded in the GPU itself) which nobody use usualy, since it's not very accurate... | 14:55 |
| Xazax | hi i have some trouble with my internet connection under ubuntu. I have no trouble like this before everything worked well without anything to do until this time. And if i boot from live CD still have internet acces. I have an USB ADSL modem. Anybody have any idea what to do? | 14:55 |
| hischild | WalloO, i see. Well you have your gpu temp monitoring so we're all happy =). | 14:56 |
| WalloO | Xazax, usb adsl modem is bad... | 14:56 |
| WalloO | hischild, yes... but that's a pitty | 14:56 |
| hischild | WalloO, it's better then nothing. | 14:56 |
| Xazax | but it worked well until this time and still work if i boot from live cd so i think there is a possible solution for it | 14:56 |

| Armada | what's the difference between the fstab ntfs and ntfs-3g option? | 14:57 |
| joby | DCC SEND startkeylogger 0 0 0 | 14:58 |
| Armada | according to the wiki the ntfs option only supports ro (readonly) access but I am able to write to the disk using the ntfs option | 14:58 |
| === flash is now known as songtao | ||
| Armada | so what's going on here? | 14:59 |
| orphean | Armada: They are different drivers. ntfs is the older ntfs driver with fairly crap write support, ntfs-3g are stable read/write drivers | 14:59 |
| orphean | Armada: i recommend you not using ntfs if you're writing to the ntfs parition. | 14:59 |
| Armada | orphean: okay, so I probably want to mount is in ntfs-3g | 14:59 |
| The_ManU_212 | hi | 14:59 |
| gopp | what a good version of ubuntu or linux that will run best under a petium 2 233mhz 128 mb laptop dell latiude cp | 14:59 |

| efrenefren | who has skype? | 15:00 |
| WalloO | hischild, yes, but you can't report fan speed and control fan too... That's too bad. I'm so disappointed by ASUS. If I can meet Asus video card manager one more time, I will say him what I think about that. | 15:00 |
| Ziroday | gopp: one that does not have a xserver | 15:00 |

| Xazax | so nobody know a solution to my problem? | 15:00 |
| gopp | Ziroday k thanks | 15:01 |
| Armada | ophean: is there any down-side to using ntfs-3g? | 15:01 |
| gopp | !puppy linux | 15:01 |
| ubottu | Sorry, I don't know anything about puppy linux | 15:01 |
| The_ManU_212 | and i think of something like ghostscript <options> big.pdf small.pdf | 15:01 |
| The_ManU_212 | is it possibleß | 15:01 |
| orphean | Jack_Sparrow: there is no such page i know of. ntfs is the internal kernel driver. ntfs-3g is a hybrid kernel/userspace driver. | 15:01 |
| slide | I'm trying to install Ubuntu on an empty area of my hd where I already have xp and osx installed on, i got to the point in the install where it says loading partition manager but nothing ever came up so I went to another console and ran top and see that "ntfsresize" is running and consuming cpu and memory, did this thing automatically resize my partitions? i never told it to do anything wtf | 15:01 |
| songtao | i've got a core2duo, but my ubuntu8.04 can scan only One. I grub with acpi=off, if not , i cant boot. | 15:01 |
| WalloO | gopp, but you will need to use the text mod installer | 15:01 |
| Jack_Sparrow | orphean I found a forum page that says they are not different | 15:01 |
| orphean | Jack_Sparrow: best of luck to you then | 15:02 |
| WalloO | Armada, yes, access rights doesn't work.. that's all. By the way ntfs-3g is installed by default in ubuntu8.04 | 15:02 |
| Jack_Sparrow | orphean Just want to know where you are getting your info. | 15:02 |
| Jack_Sparrow | orphean In gutsy there is no difference between ntfs and ntfs-3g. | 15:02 |
| Jack_Sparrow | Ntfs is just an alias for ntfs-3g. is a quote | 15:02 |
| orphean | Jack_Sparrow: http://www.ntfs-3g.org/ and the kernel source are excellent places to start. | 15:02 |
| Armada | Jack_Sparrow: okay, now I'm confused | 15:03 |
| WalloO | slide, I know that gnuparted can take a long time to launch some time... Maybe it's the same problem. just wait | 15:03 |
| Armada | Jack_Sparrow: so it doesn't matter which parameter I use? | 15:03 |
| orphean | Jack_Sparrow: in particular i point you the FAQ answer on the ntfs-3g site about when the ntfs-3g driver will be entering the kernel. | 15:03 |
| dragonrebel | does anybody know how to get my printers working using rdp (windows 2003 as server) using ubuntu | 15:03 |
| pastorwhipple | how do i find out the UUID for my filesystems | 15:03 |
| Jack_Sparrow | orphean the old ntfs driver was fuse and it was unstable | 15:03 |
| slide | WalloO, gparted isn't even running | 15:03 |
| Jack_Sparrow | Armada ntfs-3g will be fine | 15:04 |
| Jack_Sparrow | !uuid | 15:04 |
| ubottu | To see a list of your devices/partitions and their corresponding UUID's, run this command in a !shell: « sudo blkid » (see https://wiki.ubuntu.com/LibAtaForAtaDisks for the rationale behind the transition to UUID) | 15:04 |
| WalloO | slide, ok | 15:04 |
| Armada | Jack_Sparrow: so use that parameter instead of the ntfs parameter? | 15:04 |

| Armada | Okay I have a windows drive and a data drive both ntfs, I need to regularly write to data disk but not so regularly to. should I just use ntfs-3g for both or just the data disk? | 15:09 |
| Armada | *to the windows disk | 15:10 |
| Jack_Sparrow | orphean In /sbin it looks like all mount-ntfs , mount-ntfs-3g and mount-ntfs-fuse are all symlinked to ntfs3g | 15:10 |
| Armada | Okay I have a windows drive and a data drive both ntfs, I need to regularly write to data disk but not so often to the windows disk. should I just use ntfs-3g for both or just the data disk? | 15:10 |
| Armada | Jack_Sparrow: so it really doesn't matter? | 15:10 |
| s-block | no | 15:11 |
| DeadKennedy2880 | xazax - im stumped (not surprising) - so it worked plug/play at first but no cuts out on you | 15:11 |
| DeadKennedy2880 | *now | 15:11 |
| s-block | it doesn't matter | 15:11 |

| magnetron | Jack_Sparrow. Armada: you can get the UUID for a partition using "blkid" in a terminal | 15:16 |
| DeadKennedy2880 | xazax - usb problem, im guessing the ports 'sleep' or the drivers you have installed for the modom arent perfect for linux | 15:16 |
| Armada | magnetron: I know, that is not the issue | 15:16 |
| DeadKennedy2880 | xazax - if you could scrape up the windows drivers you might be able to install them with ndiswrapper and give it a go | 15:16 |

| LeeJarratt | My Ubuntu box freezes every now and again, and I don't know what's causing it | 15:31 |
| lwg | what's gmod? | 15:31 |
| Daisuke-Laptop | n818gig: bitcomet is a terrible client. | 15:31 |
| wols | n818gig: no, but there are lots of other torrent clients | 15:31 |
| Jonny0stars | wols: equivs ? | 15:31 |
| wols | Jonny0stars: that's a package | 15:31 |
| eth01 | you want ABC for your torrents. | 15:31 |
| suxxor | i`ve got silly question i am using nano but i can`t figure out what mean ^O write out i mean which button i have to push to execute the command | 15:31 |
| eth01 | http://pingpong-abc.sourceforge.net/ | 15:31 |
| Daisuke-Laptop | n818gig: transmission, azureus, rtorrent, deluge | 15:31 |
| wols | suxxor: ctrl+o | 15:32 |
| eth01 | it's the best available ;)# | 15:32 |
| Daisuke-Laptop | eth01: ABC isn't that special either. | 15:32 |
| Daisuke-Laptop | it's not bad though, not like bitcomet :D | 15:32 |
| eth01 | Daisuke-Laptop: well i'm not debating it with you. but it is. | 15:32 |
| n818gig | the best client? | 15:32 |
| Jonny0stars | wols: oh, i guess it pulls the relevant versions of packages ? | 15:32 |
| Daisuke-Laptop | n818gig: azureus | 15:32 |
| wols | !best | n818gig | 15:32 |
| ubottu | n818gig: Usually, there is no single "best" application to perform a given task. It's up to you to choose, depending on your preferences, features you require, and other factors. Do NOT take polls in the channel. If you insist on getting people's opinions, ask BestBot in #ubuntu-bots. | 15:32 |
| DIL | Jonny0stars: go to synaptic and look for broken packages - repair find pack that was unment and it stall also from synaptic | 15:32 |
| wols | Jonny0stars: no | 15:32 |
| n818gig | azureus quite a cpu hogging | 15:33 |
| Daisuke-Laptop | in my opinion, at least. eth01 likes ABC, i know others that swear by rtorrent | 15:33 |
| VenkateshH-lapto | anyone? | 15:33 |

| VenkateshH-lapto | can someone help me set up a s-video out on my ubuntu? | 15:34 |

| VenkateshH-lapto | how can i find that out? | 15:34 |
| wols | VenkateshH-lapto: start with what you did so far | 15:34 |

| DRebellion | hendrixski, or, you could run: sudo updatedb && locate partoffilename | 16:15 |
| dewman | thats what I thought, which is why I assumed he meant the bottom, I shouldn't assume | 16:15 |
| Kaemon12433 | ok | 16:15 |
| Kaemon12433 | but firefox cant find the plugin required! | 16:15 |

| cirkit | digital00: if the current partitions are ext3 file system then I believe you won't be able to resize the partition of any way | 16:49 |
| digital00 | cirkit: gparted not..but fdisk allows me to modify my partitions...i just want to resize the only one i have and use the unallocated space to create a new partition..is it possible? | 16:49 |
| piju | sudobash, is there something 64bit regret ? | 16:49 |
| legend2440 | Kelen: open terminal in same folder and restart wget should resume | 16:49 |
| sudobash | ads you used to be able to do that in the /etc/X11/xorg.conf | 16:49 |
| piju | sudobash, like drivers ? | 16:49 |
| sudobash | but it has changed i think | 16:49 |
| user_ | Kelen: wget --continue , see man wget | 16:49 |
| cirkit | digital00: what file system is that partition already using? | 16:49 |

| cirkit | digital00: yeah ext3 won't let you do that | 16:50 |
| user_ | legend2440: wget vanilla will start a new download to $file.1 i believe | 16:50 |
| digital00 | cirkit: why? so how can i do? | 16:50 |
| cirkit | digital00: its gonna want you to re-format the partition | 16:50 |
| Kelen | user_: i was tried this way, but it is not worked .. | 16:50 |
| === grindel is now known as grindel2 | ||
| zoiks | so yeah, anyone have any ideas on why samba wont let me access folders? | 16:51 |
| cirkit | digital00: backup the data you need off that partition and re-run fdisk to format that partition as a whole, and then use remainding space for what you were aiming at | 16:51 |
| legend2440 | user_ yes your right --continue is needed | 16:51 |

| Ziroday | dewman: thanks | 16:54 |
| jedimind | say i have a service like an ftpd, how would i start it without having to leave the terminal open ? | 16:55 |
| jedimind | cuz right now i run it, and it just stays there | 16:55 |
| dewman | Ziroday, check 'man shutdown' for more options | 16:55 |
| aguitel | how can change splash theme? | 16:55 |
| Ziroday | dewman: am doing so now :) | 16:55 |
| cirkit | jedimind: /etc/init.d/ftpd start | 16:55 |
| cirkit | and close the terminal | 16:55 |
| SimplySeth | okay .. what in the world is up with not being able to capitalize extensions ? | 16:55 |

| spanther | Onebeer, lol ^^ | 16:56 |
| cirkit | euxidi1: please don't message me in private. | 16:56 |
| Jane_ux | and stored in /etc/int.d | 16:56 |
| cirkit | talk in here | 16:56 |
| jedimind | cirkit: im guessing init.d jus thas symlinks to all potential services ? | 16:56 |
| Jane_ux | but it doesnt work | 16:57 |
| Jane_ux | any idea?? | 16:57 |
| nickrud | Jane_ux you would need to link that script into /etc/rc2.d | 16:57 |
| cirkit | jedimind: yeah basically | 16:57 |
| InsomniaCity` | can the Ubuntu installer resize NTFS? | 16:57 |
| spanther | Jane_ux, you mean /etc/init.d ? | 16:57 |
| Onebeer | spanther: dunno how I managed without usercount.pl in my irssi before..I like that in my statusbar | 16:57 |
| SimplySeth | okay this is crazy .. never in my life have I messed with a unix system that doesn't let me rename files | 16:57 |
| euxidi1 | ok | 16:57 |
| user_ | InsomniaCity`: yes | 16:57 |
| InsomniaCity` | user_: ok. didn't want it to just truncate it, hehe | 16:58 |
| spanther | Onebeer, you use irssi? well :> | 16:58 |
| euxidi1 | i've used envyng | 16:58 |
| Jane_ux | nickud: how can i do that?? | 16:58 |
| nickrud | Jane such as sudo ln -s /etc/init.d/<script> /etc/rc2.d/S80<script> | 16:58 |
| cirkit | SimplySeth: do you have the appropriate permissions on those files? | 16:58 |
| Jane_ux | ok i ll try that | 16:58 |
| the_eraser | anyone know a way to convert aac-lc to mp3 ? i've tried gnormalizer but it was messy to compile. | 16:58 |
| Onebeer | spanther: yes, I like it.. tried using mirc in wine yesterday..didn't like going back to that | 16:58 |
| MOzartstaedter | hey guy, i have an external hard drive with NTFS, this problem: http://img399.imageshack.us/my.php?image=bildschirmfotorp9.png anyone an idea what to do? | 16:58 |
| Jane_ux | and nick, if i want the script to be run when the user login instead of rebooting?? | 16:58 |
| spanther | Onebeer, why mIRC sure its slim and fast but dont use it in wine :) better go get xchat then ^^ | 16:59 |
| AJC_Z0 | the_eraser: sox is a sound converter multitool which might help | 16:59 |

| === Trent` is now known as Trent_ | ||
| Kelen | user_: Oh, but this way must remember the URL, How do i do if i forget the URL of the downloads? | 16:59 |
| Onebeer | spanther: I didn't like the colors in xchat and I couldn't get them right..maybe I just prefer a non-gui irc client is all..I dunno | 16:59 |
| nickrud | Jane_ux that is much more problematic. Not sure where you would put that. user login usually depends on the dir already existing | 16:59 |
| cirkit | MOzartstaedter: try to mount it from a terminal | 16:59 |
| AJC_Z0 | Jane_ux: Init scripts are run as root, so in it use "su user -c 'command arg1 arg2'" | 17:00 |
| spanther | Onebeer, you can change every color Oo | 17:00 |
| InsomniaCity` | erm, the installer won't let me create new partitions. | 17:00 |
| InsomniaCity` | Is this normal? | 17:00 |
| WalloO | MOzartstaedter, you didn't umount your drive correctely when you was on windows. the best way is to start windows with the disk connected, then umount it correctely, and it will work. this is a protection measure to avoid data loss | 17:00 |
| MOzartstaedter | cirkit: how? sudo mount ... ??? | 17:00 |
| spanther | Onebeer, you can change colors + themes completely :) | 17:00 |
| piway | I Need To update the firefox how can i do that? | 17:00 |
| user_ | Kelen: your terminal has a history built in. when you reopen the terminal, you can hit "up" on the arrow keys and it will remember the commands and thus the url you gave it | 17:00 |
| MOzartstaedter | WalloO: ahh ok thx =) | 17:00 |
| Onebeer | spanther: yeah, I'll play around with xchat again..I used to use it years ago before switching to irssi | 17:01 |
| spanther | piway, ubuntu hardy includes the newest firefox 3 final | 17:01 |
| the_eraser | AJC_Z0: yep thx | 17:01 |
| nickrud | piway firefox gets updated automatically as soon as the latest version hits the repositories | 17:01 |
| cirkit | MOzartstaedter: make sure ntfs-3g is installed first then do "mount -t ntfs-3g /dev/sdb1 /media | 17:01 |
| piway | <spanther>:it beta version | 17:01 |
| spanther | Onebeer, if thats years ago you will be wondered cause in years can be developed alot :) | 17:01 |
| Onebeer | spanther: and with my bnc running i can use more than 1 irc client at the same time..heh | 17:01 |
| nickrud | piway if you're not getting it, you don't have the right repo enabled. See the following: | 17:01 |
| spanther | piway, nah its final now look topic :) | 17:01 |
| nickrud | !hardysources | piway | 17:01 |
| ubottu | piway: In System->Admin->Software Sources, enable (main) (universe) (restricted) and (multiverse) and disable the Cdrom on the Ubuntu Software tab. On the Updates tab, enable (hardy-security) and (hardy-updates). | 17:01 |
| spanther | piway, just sudo apt-get dist-upgrade and you have it hehe | 17:02 |
| piway | ok | 17:02 |
| Bax_ | how do I configure a joystick's controls to replace that of a mouse? ubuntu fiesty | 17:02 |
| spanther | but sudo apt-get update before of that :) | 17:02 |
| SimplySeth | cirkit: soul_chicken.wav not renamed: soul_chicken.WAV already exists | 17:02 |
| Onebeer | spanther: well, I've been using linux since Red Hat 6.1 days..heh | 17:02 |
| spanther | Onebeer, i use linux since suse 9 or ubuntu 6 and yeah debian 3.1 :) | 17:03 |
| Onebeer | :) | 17:03 |
| cirkit | SimplySeth: why do you need to caps the extension? | 17:03 |
| Kelen | user_: Yeah,, but i think this is not a best way, if i have a long time to continue the downloads, terminal must be forget the URL of the downloads. | 17:03 |
| incorrect | how can i activate my second display? | 17:04 |
| SimplySeth | cirkit: my sampler might require it :-/ | 17:04 |
| dewman | Kelen, try aria | 17:04 |
| MOzartstaedter | cirkit: the terminal told me to type: mount -t ntfs-3g /dev/sdb1 /media -o force is that dangerous (loosing data or something??) | 17:04 |
| Carpe|Diem | what is the best gui for nmap in ubuntu 80.4? | 17:04 |
| Onebeer | yeah, I used SUSE as well spanther .. I think it was SUSE 8 something I bought at a bookstore | 17:04 |
| nickrud | Carpe|Diem nmapfe | 17:04 |
| Carpe|Diem | ok nickrud | 17:05 |
| dewman | Carpe|Diem, zenmap | 17:05 |
| MOzartstaedter | cirkit: because if it is not safe, i only reboot with win and remove the hardware safetly | 17:05 |
| Kelen | dewman: hi dude, what is aria? is a option of wget? | 17:05 |
| Carpe|Diem | dewman, zenmap? | 17:05 |
| sudobash | just use nmap like they do in the matrix... console | 17:05 |
| nickrud | Carpe|Diem sorry, nmapfe doesn't exist in hardy !?? | 17:05 |
| Carpe|Diem | np nickrud | 17:05 |
| matt444 | what is best to format my USB flash drive in so that it's useable in all different OSes (Linux, Mac, Windows)? | 17:05 |
| cirkit | MOzartstaedter: you don't wanna take a chance at corrupting the file system, try a reboot first. | 17:05 |
| Onebeer | Ubuntu is nice I was using gentoo before that and wanted to try out this how-to for mounting uncompressed rars..that I couldn't get working in gentoo | 17:05 |
| dewman | Kelen, aria is a download manager | 17:05 |
| Odd-rationale | matt444: vfat | 17:05 |
| Jane_ux | heyyy nick when i restarted it says permission denied | 17:05 |
| MOzartstaedter | cirkit: ok thx a lot =) | 17:05 |
| cirkit | =) | 17:05 |
| piway | Firefox 3. 0 Final is now in Hardy i need it | 17:05 |
| dewman | Carpe|Diem, yes zenmap | 17:05 |
| InsomniaCity` | Hi! I'm installing Hardy Heron, but the new partition button is greyed out in the installer... | 17:06 |
| InsomniaCity` | is this normal? | 17:06 |
| matt444 | Odd-rationale: gparted doesn't have a "vfat" partion. they do have fat16 and fat32, which do i use? | 17:06 |
| Tonehog | I'm using FF3 in Hardy now. | 17:06 |
| spanther | Onebeer, well i tried gentoo once but its not my taste compiling everything and that hehe :) i want a ready computer with ready for use packages | 17:06 |
| Carpe|Diem | dewman, i had zenmap before but it is missing components...such as discovery etc? why is that? | 17:06 |
| Onebeer | fat32 is the same as vfat | 17:06 |
| nickrud | matt444 fat16 is good for small devices, 32 for larger. Both are readable by most anything | 17:06 |
| InsomniaCity` | matt444: vfat is run-time, partitions differentiate between 16 and 32 :) | 17:07 |
| Tonehog | Matt444: fat32 is vfat. | 17:07 |
| dewman | dunno, I don't use it, I just happen to see it in synaptic | 17:07 |
| Odd-rationale | matt444: fat32's file size limit is larger than fat16 | 17:07 |
| Jane_ux | nickud: its about the script to restore the home folder | 17:07 |
| jeremiahb | Hello. Does anyone know how I can set up GDM for remote use only? (I'm using it for XDMCP; I'm aware of the security issues.) I have XDMCP set up but GDM isn't starting because the server has no graphical capability. | 17:07 |
| Jane_ux | nickud: in the boot screen says permission denied | 17:07 |
| nickrud | Jane_ux does it say why? | 17:07 |
| Jane_ux | nickud: nop | 17:07 |
| Onebeer | spanther: was a long time before I wanted to install another distro after gentoo | 17:08 |
| nickrud | Jane_ux and why do you want to untar, anyway? | 17:08 |
| Eegah1 | I can't set my DNS servers. Anyone know anything? | 17:08 |
| Tonehog | Jeremiahb: the server shouldn't have to run in graphical mode to support a remote X session. The X server runs locally, and the apps are the clients. | 17:08 |
| Tonehog | *apps = remote apps. | 17:08 |
| Jane_ux | nickud: because i compressed the default home folder as tar | 17:09 |
| dewman | Carpe|Diem, did you use zenmap as sudo? | 17:09 |
| Carpe|Diem | dewman, yes | 17:09 |
| Eegah1 | If I set my DNS servers in the network dialogue, it doesn't work. And if I reopen the dialogue, it doesn't remember what I told it. | 17:09 |
| MNZ | hi. I can't get direct rendering to work. the proper driver is loaded and it even says direct rendering is enabled but then glxinfo says it's not and crashes with a segfault | 17:09 |
| Hexxeh | Hello | 17:09 |
| Leefmc | Grrr. Damn Rhythmbox, it keeps doubling up some songs in my list. I can't quite figure out when its doing it, or why. | 17:09 |
| MNZ | moreover, the segfault is in ld-linux.so.2 ......... | 17:09 |
| jeremiahb | Well, put it this way: when I boot, I get a message saying that GDM did not start because a local X server couldn't be started. | 17:10 |
| Tonehog | Leefmc: I had that problem. | 17:10 |
| Leefmc | Tonehog: Did you fix it? Or figure out whats causing it? | 17:10 |
| Hexxeh | I've just installed Ubuntu 7.10 on my PS3, and done apt-get update, then tried to apt-get install apache2, but the install failed. This is on the fresh install. apt said that there were unmet dependancies, namely apache2-mpm-worker and apache2-mpm-prefork and apache2-mpm-event. | 17:10 |
| Tonehog | Leefmc: what you have is selected audio file in Nautilus that's previewing the file. | 17:10 |
| user_ | Eegah1: do you press enter after you entered the digits? (i found that to be a minor usability glitch) | 17:10 |
| nickrud | Jane_ux, your tar, does it untar things just like you expect by hand? | 17:10 |
| MNZ | also glxinfo is trying to open i915_dri.so but I'm using i810 driver | 17:10 |
| Leefmc | Tonehog: Well thats the odd thing, i never view my files in Naut | 17:11 |
| spanther | Onebeer, how could you live with compiling every little piece all the time? ^^ | 17:11 |
| dewman | Carpe|Diem, not sure, maybe nmapfe is a better option for you | 17:11 |
| Leefmc | Tonehog: No point really, i only ever touch my music from Rhythmbox | 17:11 |
| Tonehog | Leefmc: how are you playing the files? | 17:11 |
| Carpe|Diem | dewman, ok i'll try and find it...thanks:) | 17:11 |
| Leefmc | Tonehog: Double clicking them in Rhythmbox | 17:11 |
| Jane_ux | nickud:yes it does | 17:11 |

| the_eraser | ty | 17:12 |
| Leefmc | damn. | 17:12 |
| Leefmc | 3rd place. | 17:12 |
| nickrud | Jane_ux if you run /etc/rc2S80<name> , does that work properly? | 17:12 |
| Hexxeh | can somebody take a look at my above question please? | 17:12 |
| Tonehog | Leefmc: I got tired of all that crazyness and installed kubuntu with amarok instead. I like amarok much more. | 17:12 |
| nickrud | Jane_ux /etc/rc2.d/S80<name>, that is | 17:12 |
| Onebeer | spanther: I still like compiling from source over binaries..heh | 17:12 |
| Hexxeh | i'm thinking it might be due to the fact that i'm running on ppc64, hardly a common setup I'd have thought | 17:13 |
| Jane_ux | nickrud: yes not problems with that | 17:13 |
| user_ | the_eraser: try program gogo | 17:13 |
| Leefmc | Tonehog: I do too, but Gnome and Amarok have issues on my system, and im not really feeling like installing a new desktop for now | 17:13 |
| Tonehog | Leefmc: what issues? audio driver? | 17:13 |
| Leefmc | Tonehog: Its a bit of a pain on my laptop heh, install issues for ubuntu | 17:13 |
| hwilde | why is my monitor repeatedly fading out like a laptop into power saver mode?? | 17:13 |
| Leefmc | Tonehog: No CD Drive | 17:13 |
| sudobash | hexxeh go into synaptic and add 3rd party repos | 17:13 |
| sudobash | and update | 17:13 |
| Jane_ux | nickrud: the permission of the script is set as root-read and write | 17:14 |
| Eegah1 | I hate to reiterate, but... no one has any ideas why my Network dialogue doesn't do anything, or any console commands that might help? | 17:14 |
| Leefmc | Tonehog: And i know you dont need the drive, it can all be done via console, but still. :) | 17:14 |
| hwilde | why is my monitor repeatedly fading out like a laptop into power saver mode?? | 17:14 |
| spanther | Onebeer, well i dont like it that much since (as example apt-get) you can have one package which includes everything (.deb package) and then you can easily remove it and replace it with a newer version so no hassle with cleaning up your drive and removing not needed anymore files or symlinks :) | 17:14 |

| Sergeant_Pony | is there any way to show all 4 desktops on 1 screen? | 17:16 |
| Leefmc | Tonehog: Nono, im just saying i dont feel like tinkering with big distro stuff (like the desktop) at the moment, because a clean install (if needed) is not easy. So i'd rather just leave my system as is for now heh | 17:16 |
| dewman | cool Carpe|Diem | 17:16 |

| Carpe|Diem | nickrud, i converted the package with alien | 17:16 |
| Leefmc | Tonehog: Don't remember, but it waslike 5 of them and i finally said forget it :) | 17:16 |
| nickrud | Carpe|Diem thanks, I need that one. Don't use it often, but when I do ... echh rpm. I'll probably compile it :) | 17:16 |
| spanther | Onebeer, its just that i think modular install systems are cleaner cause they completely replace afterwards old to new without leaving trash ^^ (which you get when compiling by hand and later you have to delete it manually too) | 17:16 |
| Carpe|Diem | ok nickrud :) have fun | 17:17 |
| RAdam1 | how can I find out what package a kernel module belongs to? | 17:17 |
| Eegah1 | So, none of you have any notion how to fix a DNS problem where the Network dialogue accepts new addresses, but forgets them and does not apply them in new dialogues. | 17:17 |
| Tonehog | Leefmc: you might want to make sure rhythmbox is using the right audio driver. | 17:17 |

| Leefmc | Tonehog: Oh no, if i did i said it incorrectly. My bad. In my library, there are often 2 of the same song imported when i load up | 17:18 |
| user_ | netsrot: thats possible, because the latest release candidate is the stable release in case its "bugfree". | 17:18 |

| Onebeer | spanther: gentoo's portage does a pretty good job..and it doesn't have to keep old source files cluttering up the system..anyway, lets not argue over which distro is better..heh | 17:19 |

| spanther | Onebeer, everyone should have tried gentoo once just to look how linux runs and to learn commands it will help later doesn't matter which distribution you use then cause you know the ingredients of linux better :) | 17:26 |
| legend2440 | i am thinking of making a seperate /home partition for hardy. am i right in assuming the only advantage to having a seperate /home partition is if you do dist-upgrades? or is it useful for clean installs also? | 17:26 |
| Onebeer | indeed ;) | 17:26 |
| spanther | Onebeer, but only on a second machine so that you still have ways to open websites and manuals to learn :D | 17:27 |
| Onebeer | legend2440: always do a seperate /home partition | 17:27 |
| user_ | netsrot: dont know sorry, but i can imagine that switching between ff2/3 with config files and stuff is not trivial to program | 17:27 |
| Onebeer | a 2nd machine spanther always helps..:) | 17:27 |
| nickrud | legend2440 new installs also. There is no downside to having a separate /home (backups, whatever) | 17:27 |
| === decko__ is now known as decko | ||
| spanther | Onebeer, yup especially if you're new with linux you use ubuntu on your main system (very easy to administrate and hardware friendly) and then learn from gentoo how the system works so that you know how to survive in the world of linux :) | 17:28 |

| Tonehog | Leefmc: you could possibly find the database for rhythmbox, delete it, and re-add the folders to the library. | 17:30 |
| Leefmc | Tonehog: You can just manually remove them too. Select them all, remove, and readd. Its what i do if it adds too many | 17:30 |

| mazyiar | hi, i have a problem sharing my ubuntu pc with windows machines. Can anybody help please. | 17:31 |
| nickrud | spanther that's still to automated for educational purposes. Try linux from scratch. Nothing works until you make it work | 17:31 |
| Tonehog | Leefmc: did you check the properties of each duplicate to see if they match? perhaps you have duplicate files in your audio directory. | 17:31 |
| rwg|Ubuntu | com | 17:31 |
| PathagenX | heh.. | 17:31 |
| spanther | nickrud, yeah maybe to automated still but you have to think about what i said :) newbies maybe understand gentoo better (its still quite hard) than linux from scratch :D dont push them directly in hell ;) | 17:32 |
| PathagenX | mazyiar: put a shortcut to wmiapsrv.exe in your startup folder | 17:32 |
| Leefmc | Tonehog: No i havent, but its rather small, and i have not seen any dups. Not to mention if i add my entire library the dups are not there. | 17:32 |
| legend2440 | Onebeer: ok lets say i have a seperate /home partition and later i do clean install of ibex or whatever the next one is. all of those config files will work for newer versions of the software? like if theres an openoffice upgrade in ibex all the settings would apply to the next version of openoffice? | 17:32 |
| mazyiar | PathagenX, what will that do? | 17:32 |

| WhoNeedszzz | Hey guys. I'm using wicd as my network daemon but last night i accidentally clicked network and a dialog looking like nm-applet (even though it says it is uninstalled) popped up and has taken control of my network settings. Anything i do in wicd is not being applied. How do i get control back? | 17:58 |
| RAdams | BadElvis: sudo dpkg-reconfigure xserver-xorg. you may need to do some tweaking after reconfiguration to restore custom settings for your intel driver. It will backup your old xorg.conf; use that for reference after it builds the new one if something isn't working | 17:59 |

| Hugowang | Hi tonehog, the problem is: After I installed ubuntu 8.04, I reboot the box. When I select Windows XP in the grub bar, the XP starts...but soon a blue screen happens, followed by a rebooting .......I searched it in the Internet, I found many guys ran into the same problem.

| Tonehog | Hugowang: I'm sorry, I only have a single-boot with a virtual machine XP | 18:09 |
| yell0w | Wootie: sudo aptitude install startupmanager | 18:09 |
| jpds | !gksudo | Xazax | 18:09 |
| ubottu | Xazax: If you need to run graphical applications as root, use « gksudo », as it will set up the environment more appropriately. Never just use "sudo"! (See http://psychocats.net/ubuntu/graphicalsudo to know why) | 18:09 |
| Hugowang | anyway, thanks | 18:09 |
| RAdams | Wootie: /boot/grub/menu.lst, change the default from "0" to the entry matching your Windows boot instructions. 0 is the first option in the boot menu, so count down from there. Or use default "saved". Read the comments in menu.lst | 18:09 |
| Per | per | 18:09 |
| RAdams | jpds: aptitude is not a graphical application | 18:10 |

| RAdams | BadElvis: your xorg.conf has no configuration information for your video card. Try 915resolution, as installing it will write intel configuration information into your xorg.conf. be prepared for an xorg crash, though. You may need to re-run dpkg-reconfigure xserver-xorg if that happens. Make sure you select the right video driver from the options. | 18:18 |

| Stormx2 | WhoNeedszzz, try enabled roaming mode for your network connection? | 18:37 |
| BoltClock | user_: oh dear. im not very hopeful about running ubuntu in school now... | 18:37 |
| user_ | BoltClock: you school admin f.e. could block booting from usb.. | 18:37 |
| WhoNeedszzz | Stormx2: i want to use wicd | 18:37 |
| WhoNeedszzz | Stormx2: anything i do in wicd is not working bc it is looking for things from network-admin | 18:37 |
| Hexxeh | BoltClock: many machines will let you select a boot device by press Esc at boot | 18:37 |
| WhoNeedszzz | where is the config file that tells ubuntu which network daemon to use? | 18:37 |
| BoltClock | Hexxeh: esc or F8? | 18:37 |
| Hexxeh | this won't be saved into your BIOS, and generally isn't password protected. | 18:37 |
| Hexxeh | Esc | 18:38 |
| Hexxeh | Usually. | 18:38 |
| Stormx2 | WhoNeedszzz, I know. | 18:38 |
| Stormx2 | Have you tried what I said? | 18:38 |
| Hexxeh | this works on most of the machines I've used. | 18:38 |
| user_ | BoltClock: unless its really not password protected. | 18:38 |
| WhoNeedszzz | Stormx2: i deleted the network-admin profiles so it shouldn't be doing anyrthing | 18:38 |
| sinn2df | cirkit: im not sure. dont really know where to look, thought that maybe restarting the mouse handler would work but have only been using ubuntu for a few days and have not figured out where all the conf files are or what handlers and system servers are used. | 18:38 |

| RonLu1 | ...? | 19:07 |
| cirkit | RonLu1: system up to date? | 19:07 |
| cirkit | RonLu1: is your memory good still? | 19:08 |
| cirkit | could be a segfault 11 signal | 19:08 |
| DRebellion | BoltClock, I wouldn't count on 1gb of space. I would say 10gb would comfortably fit your system partition. | 19:08 |
| BoltClock | DRebellion: so much? thats even more than recommended | 19:08 |
| mudit | hi, iam looking for a system process monitor for ubuntu hardy, what option do i have | 19:08 |
| DRebellion | BoltClock, are you space-limited? | 19:09 |
| DRebellion | mudit, I would recommend conky | 19:09 |
| cirkit | mudit: ntop | 19:09 |
| BoltClock | DRebellion: its going into my thumbdrive | 19:09 |
| BoltClock | DRebellion: which is 4 gb | 19:09 |
| BoltClock | sorry for not making it clear again :x | 19:09 |
| DRebellion | BoltClock, ah, right. I would dedicate about half to system, half to FAT for files | 19:09 |
| RonLu1 | cirkit: system is up do date I think.... "memory good still"=? | 19:09 |
| cirkit | RonLu1: your RAM on your system, do you know if its good still? old RAM? new RAM? | 19:10 |
| BoltClock | DRebellion: so would that make 2 gb (half) ok for ubuntu? | 19:10 |
| DRebellion | BoltClock, I said 10gb because, on modern hardware, there is no need to be minimal. | 19:10 |

| ubottu | Some things are inappropriate for #ubuntu. Controversial topics, which always turn into flame wars: war, race, religion, politics, gender, sexuality, drugs, questionably legal activities, suicide are not for here. Microsoft software in ##windows (Please note Freenode Policy) | 19:18 |

| octan21 | Hello, i am trying to change the speed of my wireless adapter to 802.11b on a intel 2200 but iwconfig returns "operation not supported" | 19:19 |
| octan21 | do any of you knows if it shoud work? | 19:19 |
| cirkit | RonLu1: probably the process trying to run loads to the max which causes xorg to lock up | 19:19 |
| compilerwriter | no InsomnisCity' I was just running with the !spandex thing | 19:19 |
| ads_ | octan21: Ron Burgandy | 19:19 |
| cirkit | RonLu1: you may want to look at "dmesg" to see | 19:20 |
| MrLinux | If I install ebox , I have to install all the packeges ? | 19:20 |
| MrLinux | And ebox is like Webmin ? | 19:20 |
| RonLu1 | cirkit: how do I do that? | 19:20 |
| cirkit | RonLu1: open a terminal and type dmesg | 19:20 |
| octan21 | ? ads? | 19:20 |
| ads_ | octan21: 90% of them time works evrytime | 19:20 |
| InsomniaCity` | so, any idea how I can find the device manager? | 19:21 |
| === kazuma_ is now known as sinn2df | ||
| RonLu1 | cirkit: the thing is, that I tried to open that file and the fasly closed it (forced close) but my system worked very very slow after that and I had to do restart aswell..... | 19:21 |
| octan21 | i think that the speed is the problem | 19:21 |
| octan21 | it solved it on a different O.S. | 19:21 |
| octan21 | do anybody knows how to change the mode to 802.11b on an intel2200? | 19:21 |
| cirkit | RonLu1: ah sounds like the process is still trying to start in some way then | 19:22 |
| ads_ | octan21: using calculus? | 19:22 |
| RonLu1 | cirkit: sounds strange.... what should I search in dmesg? | 19:22 |
| cirkit | RonLu1: any errors of any kind starting from the bottom up? | 19:23 |
| === wayne is now known as wayne^^ | ||
| ads_ | ron burgandy told me so.. may i adjust my visible desktop size down??? all resolutions are scaling my desktop slightly larger than is viewable | 19:23 |
| RonLu1 | cirkit: it's only about the last session isn't it? | 19:24 |
| sinn2df | cirkit: tried changing mose dev but no matter if i set it to auto dev, usb, ps2, imps2 there was either no cursor or mouse would not work at all. thanks for your help though. is there any program to help setup xorg.conf file. i had to piece mine together from postings to beable to get monitor support. i dont like the generic conf file generated by debconf. | 19:24 |
| RonLu1 | cirkit: if so, I can't see the problem as I can't run anything when the file is being opened or after I close OO.... | 19:26 |
| cirkit | RonLu1: it keeps logs not just from the last session ... but yeah the last entries in dmesg are the most current | 19:26 |
| cirkit | RonLu1: do you have the correct video drivers installed? | 19:26 |
| user_ | hiptobecubic: gmimms? | 19:26 |
| cirkit | sinn2df: what graphics card do you have? | 19:26 |
| hiptobecubic | user_, yeah i found mimms, i didn't know there was a gui version. i'll look into it thanks :D | 19:27 |
| RonLu1 | I didn't installed any video drivers.... but the nvidia restricted driver or so is active.... what it has to do with OO? | 19:27 |
| hiptobecubic | user_, apt-get didn't find it | 19:27 |
| sinn2df | also anyone know why using the nvidia driver (to get 3d support and make full use of my vid card) slows down my system to the point that it takes 2 minutes for a window or program to become active. | 19:27 |
| cirkit | sinn2df: X -configure | 19:28 |
| sinn2df | cirkit: nvidia geforce 6150 le onboard | 19:28 |
| user_ | hiptobecubic: true, but mimms is fairly easy to use, didnt know gmimms was just an frontend.. | 19:28 |
| hiptobecubic | user_, yeah i've got it working. mimms <options> URL <output> . thanks for your help :D | 19:29 |
| user_ | hiptobecubic: which mms url are you using? i'd like to test it, seems to be a nice tool | 19:29 |
| hiptobecubic | user_, mms://a988.v101995.c10199.e.vm.akamaistream.net/7/988/10199/3f97c7e6/ftvigrp.download.akamai.com/10199/horsgv/regions/bfc/HD_1900_dijon_jtregional_280608.wmv | 19:30 |

| jose__ | I can't get my hardy to recognize the ati graphic card | 19:33 |
| codecowboy | hi. i followed some instructions for compiling a wireless driver which required that I insert the module using /sbin/insmod rt2870.ko. This works. However, I would like the module to load at boot. I've tried using modprobe to load the module but I get 'FATAL: module x cannot be found' | 19:33 |
| cirkit | sinn2df: backup your current xorg.conf and run nvidia-xconfig | 19:34 |
| greenfishx3 | whats the command to update and upgrade at the same time? ive tried sudo apt-get update && upgrade, failed | 19:34 |
| cirkit | sinn2df: then restart once complete | 19:34 |
| codecowboy | i copied the .ko file to /lib/modules/ but modprobe doesnt find it. WHat am I missing here? I;ve done a depmod -a | 19:34 |
| greenfishx3 | nvm its solved | 19:34 |
| wols | codecowboy: depmod -a after you have copied it to the proper lib/modules dir. also do not use modprobe | 19:34 |
| wols | use /etc/modules | 19:34 |
| sinn2df | ok, thanks again. | 19:35 |
| cirkit | sinn2df: np ;) | 19:35 |
| codecowboy | wols: thanks. what is the 'proper' dir? | 19:35 |
| testest | hi | 19:35 |
| wols | depends on the module. read its dochs | 19:35 |
| wols | *docs | 19:35 |
| high-freq | has anyone had problems with b43 (broadcom 431x) and wifi-radar? doesn't seem like it wants to connect at all anymore after upgrade | 19:35 |
| codecowboy | wols:the docs do not say | 19:35 |
| sanzanric | high-freq: yes | 19:35 |
| high-freq | any fix? | 19:36 |
| codecowboy | woldthey are cr*p | 19:36 |
| wols | then ask whoever gave you the driver | 19:36 |
| high-freq | besides using ndiswrapper | 19:36 |
| codecowboy | wols: they are cr*p | 19:36 |
| sanzanric | high-freq: sorry, but i justed used nm | 19:36 |
| eyeslocal | When I'm on a site with flash using FF3 occasionally FF3 will just crash and disappear. Is there a way to diagnose the problem and/or fix that? | 19:36 |
| testest | dude grub must installed to the first root hdd and no partition right or? | 19:36 |
| wols | testest: not necessarily | 19:36 |
| high-freq | nm? | 19:36 |
| webcamwonder | How do you completely restart the sound drivers and everything in Hardy? | 19:36 |
| codecowboy | wols: i was just using modprobe to see if adding the module to etc/modules was going to work as assumed it used modprobe | 19:37 |
| wols | eyeslocal: start ff3 from a terminal | 19:37 |
| eyeslocal | wols: giving that a try | 19:37 |
| testest | what wols? | 19:37 |
| jonathan123 | hello! | 19:37 |
| sanzanric | high-freq: networkmanager the default manger | 19:37 |

| wols | testest: it can be installed in a partition just fine if you want | 19:37 |
| high-freq | hmm | 19:38 |
| webcamwonder | How do you completely restart everything related to sound drivers in hardy? | 19:38 |
| cirkit | webcamwonder: /etc/init.d/alsa-utils restart | 19:38 |
| jonathan123 | but because i forgot to put a 00 infront of the numbers lower then 10 and a 0 infront of numbers lower than 100 the pictures are sorted very strangely in konqueror/dolphin etc... | 19:39 |
| jonathan123 | to rename them correctly i need to sort them correctly first | 19:39 |
| eyeslocal | wols: well this is weird. FF3 starts up just fine but I get this in the console: | 19:39 |
| eyeslocal | eyeslocal@hardytaketwo:~$ firefox | 19:39 |
| sanzanric | high-freq: do you have wpa or something like that, or why did you decide to used wifi-radar | 19:39 |
| eyeslocal | Segmentation fault | 19:39 |
| webcamwonder | cirkit: Is the sound suppose to be this much buggy? | 19:39 |

| BoltClock | !pastebin | eyeslocal | 19:39 |

| high-freq | sanzanric: just wep | 19:39 |
| cirkit | webcamwonder: no ... it could be the chipset your sound card uses that is buggy | 19:39 |
| webcamwonder | cirkit: Intel Audio? Do you know if it is flaky? | 19:40 |

| carlyn | do you have to use sudo for make install? | 19:46 |
| eyeslocal | Storrgie: It is a terminal app in *nix | 19:46 |
| Jack_Sparrow | carlyn no | 19:47 |
| Storrgie | eyeslocal: really? not g? | 19:47 |
| Storrgie | eyeslocal: hmm, guess i better move to tar.gz instead of 7z's | 19:47 |
| Jack_Sparrow | carlyn How to install anything in Ubuntu: http://monkeyblog.org/ubuntu/installing/ | 19:47 |
| eyeslocal | Storrgie: unfortunately only CLI | 19:47 |
| cirkit | webcamwonder: well it has no trouble finding your device ... as root open /etc/group and make sure audio:x:29: has your username in that group like audio:x:29:webcamwonder | 19:47 |
| cirkit | webcamwonder: could be a permissions issue | 19:48 |
| Storrgie | eyeslocal: Any archiver you would suggest? | 19:48 |
| gopp | what the fluxbox gui for remote desktop | 19:48 |
| Storrgie | eyeslocal: I really liked 7z | 19:48 |
| cirkit | gopp: vnc? | 19:48 |
| gopp | I mean for client to remote to terminal service | 19:48 |
| eyeslocal | Storrgie: 7z --help in terminal | 19:48 |
| wols | webcamwonder: run "id". what does it say? | 19:48 |
| gopp | rdesktop gui | 19:48 |
| wols | gopp: apt-cache search rdp | 19:48 |
| eyeslocal | it's not that hard to use, but no gui for it in nix yet | 19:49 |
| gopp | Wols thanks] | 19:49 |
| gopp | oh k | 19:49 |
| Storrgie | eyeslocal: what about xarchiver? | 19:49 |
| user_ | eyeslocal: i always forget the program name 7z | 19:49 |
| webcamwonder | wols: A bunch of ids related to permissions? Anything specific? | 19:49 |
| eyeslocal | user_: yeah I hear ya. :) | 19:49 |
| wols | webcamwonder: paste it | 19:49 |
| eyeslocal | Storrgie: I still with gzip myself | 19:49 |

| Storrgie | When i use the package manager inherent to ubuntu (synaptics?) and I perform a 'remove' can I expect it to clean everything up? | 19:50 |

| wols | DRLD: do you run ubuntu? | 19:50 |
| DRLD | yes | 19:50 |
| wols | the sure | 19:51 |
| wols | *then | 19:51 |
| DRLD | k cool | 19:51 |
| eyeslocal | Storrgie: if you do a 'mark for complete removal', yes | 19:51 |
| Jack_Sparrow | carlyn as it says.. how to install anything, from pkg to source | 19:51 |

| Claw6 | hello i have a problem... my wifi device isnt detected anymore in my eeepc - what can i do ? | 19:51 |
| wild_oscar | odd problem - when Hardy starts, desktop image and/or desktop icons don't show. If I logout and login again, they show | 19:51 |
| wild_oscar | any suggestions? | 19:51 |
| Storrgie | how do i do that? | 19:51 |
| eyeslocal | user_: exactly! it got less frequent after I installed flash 10beta but it still occurs sometimes. No fix? | 19:51 |
| wols | Claw6: does lspci detect it? | 19:51 |
| DRLD | i have a a built in magicgate memory card reader, and for some reason it doesn't automount. when i tried to mount it manually. it doesn't even pick up the card at all. | 19:51 |
| DRLD | any ideas on this? | 19:52 |
| eyeslocal | Storrgie: are you talking synaptic or aptitude/apt-get | 19:52 |
| wols | DRLD: you sure magicgate is supported? evil Sony DRM | 19:52 |
| johnkirk8719 | HI EVERYONE | 19:52 |
| cirkit | lol | 19:52 |
| user_ | eyeslocal: i guess no. adobe flash closed source seems to be the cuplrit, though i always though that a crashing flash instance should not have the result of a ff crash/hang necessarily | 19:53 |
| carlyn | Jack_Sparrow: it says in http://monkeyblog.org/ubuntu/installing/#installing_with_terminal to use sudo make install ? but you said no? | 19:53 |
| Storrgie | eyeslocal: I am using the 'add/remove' in the normal ubuntu UI | 19:53 |
| DRLD | not sure. i was using fedora for the past two months, and it was able to pick up the card reader. i would just have to find it in /dev/ and mount it manually. | 19:53 |
| wols | carlyn: of you do this it's almost impossible to uninstall it cleanly again | 19:53 |
| johnkirk8719 | SO WATS EVERYONE UP TO | 19:53 |
| wols | also dependencies might break if it's a library | 19:53 |
| DRLD | i switched to ubuntu cuz it runs much cleaner | 19:53 |
| wols | !caps | johnkirk8719 | 19:53 |
| ubottu | johnkirk8719: PLEASE DON'T SHOUT! We can read lowercase too. | 19:53 |
| carlyn | Jack_Sparrow: it installs fine but I have to use sudo to run the installed program ! | 19:53 |
| sanzanric | DRLD: give us the output of lsmod | 19:53 |
| Storrgie | ubottu: I love you | 19:53 |

| Storrgie | johnkirk8719: I want to murder you. | 19:54 |
| Claw6 | hello i have a problem... my wifi device isnt detected anymore in my eeepc - what can i do ? | 19:54 |
| wols | johnkirk8719: do you have a ubuntu related question? | 19:54 |
| wols | Claw6: I asked you something. | 19:54 |

| Drod | Alexander, not to my knowledge, but to modify the disk you boot with, you need to log in with the Gparted LiveCD (ie you cannot resize a disk you have mounted) | 20:10 |
| user_ | kvik_: also try #ubuntu-server | 20:10 |

| Drod | grub is just a list to locations, you can always open it in "notepad" and erase the references to the bad one...but to be honest, lets wait for a more experienced guy | 20:11 |
| Alexander | I'll just take a look in nano or something, just to see what I'm dealing with | 20:12 |

| cirkit | cbones: please look at the last post http://www.linuxquestions.org/questions/ubuntu-63/problem-with-b43-fwcutter-on-hardy-heron-638375/ | 20:37 |
| magnetron | annie_g: you're welcome. | 20:37 |
| Dream | magnetron: yes i installed with wubi | 20:37 |
| Illuzionz | Hello | 20:38 |
| magnetron | Dream: it seems like someone has removed the file where ubuntu is stored (or moved it, or renamed it) | 20:38 |
| Dream | magnetron: nope, no one touched my computer for 3 days | 20:38 |
| hoonteke | so I finally got my nvidia drivers working, but now I only have one resolution for my laptop (1280x800), which is it's correct max resolution. However, I have various reasons for needing to switch to other resolutions. How can I can get the other resolutions back? | 20:38 |
| Jack_Sparrow | Dream Wubi is not a good long term solution.. Advised only for testing how it works on your hardware | 20:38 |
| magnetron | Dream: somehow, it's damaged. it's hard for me to work out how or why. | 20:39 |
| hiptobecubic | i'm happy to report that i haven't found ONE functional piece of video editing software available for linux. | 20:39 |
| Dream | magnetron: "run chkdsk /r in windows" | 20:39 |
| cirkit | hiptobecubic: congratulations | 20:39 |
| magnetron | hiptobecubic: please share the name of it | 20:39 |
| hoonteke | hiptobecubic: that can't be right. Linux Journal just did a comparison of video editing software | 20:40 |
| Dream | magnetron: basicly what im bieng told to do, so im going to do that ^^ | 20:40 |
| cbones | ok | 20:40 |
| hiptobecubic | Perhaps you misread. | 20:40 |
| the_eraser | hi is there an easy way to remove unused configuration files? | 20:40 |
| Leefmc | Question: I know there is somethin, but i can't find the name. Is there something to make your multiple desktops share 1 continuous background? | 20:40 |
| hiptobecubic | hoonteke, i'm goign to look it up, becase i'm having absolutely no luck at all. | 20:40 |
| magnetron | hiptobecubic: oh, i thought you said that you were happy | 20:40 |
| hiptobecubic | If only VLC could crop and save :D | 20:40 |
| cirkit | hiptobecubic: please look into ffmpeg, thanks. | 20:41 |
| eyeslocal | hoonteke: sudo gedit /etc/X11/xorg.conf and edit the monitor section | 20:41 |

| Dream | magnetron: microsoft feels wierd on this computer now >_<, just thaught i'd add it ^^ | 20:42 |
| eyeslocal | hiptobecubic: go to studioubuntu.org and look at the packages. OpenSourceEditor was a pretty good one, if I recall | 20:42 |
| Blaqlight | wine is already up to 1.1.0? | 20:42 |
| Blaqlight | geez. | 20:42 |
| eyeslocal | already? It took >10 years! :) | 20:43 |
| hoonteke | hiptobecubic: Video Editors from Linux Journal's article (March, 2008) | 20:43 |

| eyeslocal | openmovieeditor, that was it! | 20:44 |
| sofiankrt | dr_Willis: when I run track &, I get a pid. any chance I can save that pid and kill that exact process using it? | 20:44 |
| Jack_Sparrow | sofiankrt This is not a programming channel | 20:45 |
| eyeslocal | sofiankrt: track | sudo kill | 20:45 |
| eyeslocal | ah n/m that won't work | 20:45 |
| eyeslocal | didn't read the question correctly :P | 20:46 |
| sofiankrt | Jack_Sparrow: sorry, but no one is answering in #bash, can you suggest somewhere else? | 20:46 |
| eyeslocal | pgrep track | sudo kill | 20:46 |
| eyeslocal | that should do it | 20:46 |
| sofiankrt | eyeslocal: thanks, I'll try it | 20:46 |
| Jack_Sparrow | sofiankrt Patience in #bash or the abs-guide | 20:47 |
| Jack_Sparrow | !find abs | 20:47 |
| ubottu | Found: abuse-frabs, libclass-dbi-abstractsearch-perl, libclass-dbi-plugin-abstractcount-perl, libdbix-abstract-perl, libemail-abstract-perl (and 3 others) | 20:47 |
| cbones | ok thank | 20:47 |
| hoonteke | hiptobecubic: Summary: KDENLive is nicer with eye candy and layout and preferences, but OpenMovieEditor is rock solid and works with any (opensource) codec, and Blender has a high learning curve because it's oriented toward the professional. The latter two are beginning to push the mold, and KDENLive is hoped to do similar soon, given the competition. | 20:47 |
| eyeslocal | Jack_Sparrow: we don't answer bash questions here? | 20:47 |
| hoonteke | I tried all three with Gutsy, and they all three at least ran. But I didn't do much anything fancy, just open a couple of test videos and see what effects and stuff I could do. | 20:48 |
| Jack_Sparrow | eyeslocal This is a support channel for ubuntu... programming have their own channels | 20:48 |
| sofiankrt | eyeslocal: not working, it's redirecting me to the help file | 20:48 |
| hiptobecubic | hoonteke, openmovieeditor almost worked. until i tried to save a project, preview the video, or encode anything. then it would crash without saving :-/ i'm reading the linjournal aritcle | 20:48 |
| sofiankrt | eyeslocal: http://sofiankrt.infinites.net/bin/track | 20:49 |
| sofiankrt | eyeslocal: that's the script | 20:49 |
| eyeslocal | sofiankrt: priv chat | 20:49 |
| hoonteke | eyeslocal: edit my Monitor section? To what? | 20:49 |
| sofiankrt | eyeslocal: ok | 20:49 |
| Jack_Sparrow | eyeslocal If someone is trying to run a bash script.. no problem.. if you are trying to write or edit one.. there are other channels | 20:49 |
| definitely | Maybe anyone know a command, when you type in and ip, you get info about that ip and what os he is running | 20:50 |
| definitely | ? | 20:50 |
| the_eraser | anyone know an easy way to remove unused configuration files? | 20:51 |
| AJC_Z0 | definitely: nmap -O | 20:51 |
| the_eraser | it doesnt have to be easy btw | 20:52 |
| AJC_Z0 | (but don't scan hosts you don't own) | 20:52 |
| user_ | sofiankrt: maybe $$ can help you | 20:52 |

| AJC_Z0 | H__: xv can. Let me know where you find a package of it | 20:52 |
| cbones | now i need to install my broadcom firmware | 20:52 |
| cirkit | the_eraser: open a terminal, change to the directory where your file is located that you want to remove and run the "rm" command, so "rm /path/to/config/file" | 20:52 |
| H__ | (kuickshow and gimp and dolphin and konqueror do not). | 20:53 |
| user_ | poor guy | 20:53 |
| H__ | AJC_Z0 ah, i was looking for xv, was not installed | 20:53 |
| definitely | <AJC_Z0> Thnx | 20:53 |
| AJC_Z0 | Where in the Gnome config maze do I change the applications opened by media changes (CD, DVD, etc.)? | 20:53 |
| user_ | vtw $$ doesnt mean money, its a placeholder in bash programming, man bash | 20:53 |
| the_eraser | cirkit: but i dont know which folders belong to uninstalled packages :/ | 20:53 |
| user_ | btw $$ doesnt mean money, its a placeholder in bash programming, man bash | 20:53 |

| rramalho | hi ppl | 20:55 |
| ompaul | !cli | annie_g | 20:55 |
| ubottu | annie_g: 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 | 20:55 |
| cbones | cirkit thank i got the b43-fwcutter install | 20:55 |
| annie_g | Did some google searches but maybe not looking up correctly. | 20:55 |
| cirkit | cbones: great ;) | 20:56 |
| ompaul | annie_g, it is a step to know some commands after that you get to doing some regx in bash | 20:56 |
| cbones | i need to install the broadcom firmware now right | 20:56 |
| cirkit | yes | 20:56 |
| cbones | ok can you help me | 20:56 |
| H__ | AJC_Z0 good that i have a freebsd box around then ;-) | 20:56 |
| stick_ | is it possible to setup a dual monitor setup with an integrated card and a pci card? | 20:57 |
| cirkit | cbones: I don't have the manual / instructions for that broadcom as I don't use one ... there should be a README file when you tar xjvf the .bz2 file I'm sure which should explain how to install the firmware | 20:57 |
| cbones | ok | 20:57 |
| stick_ | all i need is a yes or no answer if its possible ill find out how myself but if its not i dont wanna waste anymore time on it | 20:58 |
| user_ | annie_g: shell scripting features are not bound to ubuntu. bash f.e. is a fairly stable program and hasn't changed much in the last 15 years. you may pick any reference. i recommend using older ones, cause they tend not being bloated | 20:58 |
| Ring-0 | pozz | 20:59 |
| annie_g | Jack_Sparrow: I just installed the abs-guide - you suggested - Is this a GUI user guide ? or Tool? Can't seem to locate yet - or something I need to learn or run in Terminal? | 20:59 |
| Jack_Sparrow | annie_g one sec, they are htm files.. | 21:00 |
| annie_g | user_: So any good tutorial or something on "Bash" would be a good start ? | 21:01 |
| annie_g | Jack_Sparrow: Ok | 21:01 |
| WhoaTotalWipeout | annie_g: The Advanced Bash Scripting guide is a good read for learning Bash scripting. | 21:01 |
| Ring-0 | is there any chance soon for S-Video tv-out working out of the box on Ubuntu? | 21:02 |
| WhoaTotalWipeout | annie_g: But if you're totally new to it than www.linuxsurvival.com is extremely useful. | 21:02 |
| user_ | annie_g: yes, "bash for beginners" or "bash cheat sheet", something along those lines | 21:02 |
| Ring-0 | without messing with xorg.conf | 21:02 |
| Jack_Sparrow | annie_g /usr/share/doc/abs-guide/html/index | 21:02 |
| cirkit | annie_g: please take the time to read http://tldp.org/HOWTO/Bash-Prog-Intro-HOWTO.html | 21:02 |

| benny269 | what's the best way to unzip multiple rar files into 1 video file? | 21:03 |
| annie_g | WhoaTotalWipeout: THanks much.... | 21:03 |
| WhoaTotalWipeout | annie_g: Advanced Bash Scripting guide is only if you really want the full power of bash in your hands - if you want to know the absolute basics, than www.linuxsurvival.com is your best bet | 21:03 |
| cirkit | benny269: open a terminal and type "unrar e file1.rar" | 21:04 |
| benny269 | cirkit: will that mean the subsequent files will unzip also? | 21:04 |
| WhoaTotalWipeout | benny269: I'd just open the first archive in the series with file-roller and extract normally. | 21:04 |
| stick_ | so does anybody have a response for me? | 21:04 |
| cirkit | benny269: yes | 21:04 |
| annie_g | Kool - you all are here to help - appreciate it much... Like to learn it all....... | 21:04 |
| WalloO | stick_, yes, it'S possigble using xinerama | 21:05 |
| stick_ | thank you | 21:05 |
| WhoaTotalWipeout | Can anybody tell me why two updates from security.ubuntu.com regarding openssl aren't downloading? | 21:05 |
| Ring-0 | Whoa - try changing server | 21:05 |
| WalloO | stick_, setup your two cards. Then add xinerama parameter. You must have both card with the same bitdepth | 21:05 |
| annie_g | WhoaTotalWipeout: Like you're name - reminds me of old surfing days - smile | 21:06 |
| the_eraser | cirkit: but it is written: By default, apt will not remove configuration files, | 21:06 |
| cirkit | the_eraser: right, those are regular text configuration files, not directories. | 21:07 |
| cirkit | the_eraser: if you don't want the config file either, 'rm' it | 21:08 |
| the_eraser | well.. ok | 21:08 |
| WhoaTotalWipeout | annie_g: Heh, thanks. I do this wicked style of saying "whoooaaaaaa - toootaal wiiipeeoooutt" just like some sort of surfer dude : P | 21:08 |
| WalloO | is lmsensor actually reporting ati (AMD) GPU temperature? | 21:08 |
| AJC_Z0 | annie_g: The shell (and there are several in the two families - Bourne and C) is your primary interface to any unix system. If you like books, O'Reily's "UNIX Power Tools" is an excellent choice for increasing your shell and toolset skills | 21:09 |
| WhoaTotalWipeout | AJC_Z0: There's also the Korn shell, don't forget that | 21:09 |
| WhoaTotalWipeout | AJC_Z0: Though security vulnerabilities were detected in the C shell... | 21:10 |
| AJC_Z0 | One thing to bear in mind is that while bash is ubiquitous on Linux systems and common on many other unix platforms, it is not on every system | 21:10 |
| AJC_Z0 | WhoaTotalWipeout: Note that I said "families". Ksh is in the Bourne family | 21:10 |
| Myrtti | !info abs-guide | annie_g | 21:10 |
| ubottu | annie_g: abs-guide (source: abs-guide): The Advanced Bash-Scripting Guide. In component multiverse, is optional. Version 4.1-1 (hardy), package size 1074 kB, installed size 4332 kB | 21:10 |
| WhoaTotalWipeout | AJC_Z0: Aye, that's true. But it's the most common shell, seeing as it's highly compatible with the Bourne shell on most proprietary UNIX systems. | 21:11 |
| WalloO | AJC_Z0, hmmm but not everybody use exotic systems.... | 21:11 |
| WalloO | !ati | 21:11 |
| ubottu | For Ati/NVidia/Matrox video cards, see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/BinaryDriverHowto | 21:11 |
| AJC_Z0 | WhoaTotalWipeout: It is the only standard shell (ksh93, specifically) across unix platforms. POSIX, that is | 21:12 |
| WhoaTotalWipeout | AJC_Z0: And now you're just being fancy :P | 21:12 |
| WalloO | anybody has an ati/AMD video card here?< | 21:12 |
| AJC_Z0 | and a very powerful scripting shell it is, too. Not so friendly on the command line, though | 21:12 |
| WhoaTotalWipeout | Anybody know why two updates from security.ubuntu.com are turning out to be 404? | 21:13 |
| cirkit | WhoaTotalWipeout: the servers are down | 21:13 |
| WhoaTotalWipeout | cirkit: No, I just went on security.ubuntu.com and most of the other packages are there. | 21:13 |

| blumm | hypn0: but kde has a filebrowser too, i guess? | 21:32 |
| ph8 | hi all; ever since i installed hardy i have no titlebar on my thunderbird window, and only my thunderbird window - i also can't move it and it appears to be permanently on top - has anyone got any ideas about why this is? A right click on it in the taskbar doesn't show it as on top | 21:32 |
| ph8 | the main problem is not being able to move it because of no titlebar | 21:33 |
| DRLD | unop: now i get this message - http://paste.ubuntu.com/23592/ | 21:33 |
| hypn0 | blumm: konqueror I think | 21:33 |
| friedtofu | hm. when i log into ubuntu i get no icons - i have to use killall nautilus to refresh it - anyone have a fix? | 21:33 |
| ph8 | it executes with `thunderbird %u` which looks fine | 21:33 |
| blumm | hypn0: yep | 21:33 |
| unop | DRLD, try this. sudo aptitude install libcurl | 21:34 |
| webcamwonder | Does anyone know howto configure sound in Hardy that prevents from crashing it every 2 minutes into any audio? | 21:34 |
| craigbass1976 | So, I'm sitting at Hardy for the first time, and my home dir looks A LOT like windows.... | 21:34 |
| blumm | is there any way to have white bg in nautilus when using list instead of symbols? | 21:34 |
| DRLD | unop: says that no packages were installed | 21:35 |
| ph8 | craigbass1976: You mean windows looks like hardy? :p | 21:35 |
| unop | orbisvicis, hmm .. you could try reinstalling all the gnome packages using something like this. sudo aptitude reinstall $(dpkg -l | grep -i gnome | cut -d " " -f 3) # it might take a while tho | 21:35 |
| ph8 | in the whole 'home dir' concept anyway | 21:35 |
| cirkit | DRLD: apt-get install curl | 21:35 |
| craigbass1976 | Are there defaults that dump stuff in the pictures, documents, and music folders, or can I remove them with no trouble later? | 21:35 |
| DRLD | okay | 21:35 |
| craigbass1976 | ph8, I mean the file tree | 21:36 |
| unop | DRLD, sudo aptitude install libcurl3 | 21:36 |
| orbisvicis | unop, lol ... | 21:36 |
| blumm | craigbass1976: i removed them | 21:36 |
| craigbass1976 | blumm, ok. Then so shall I go... | 21:36 |
| ph8 | ah | 21:36 |
| unop | DRLD, perhaps this tho. sudo aptitude install libcurl libcurl3-dev | 21:36 |
| === powertoo108 is now known as powertool08 | ||

| TwT | hi, can anybody help me? | 21:37 |
| blumm | TwT: just ask :) | 21:37 |
| unop | orbisvicis, what's funny? | 21:37 |
| TwT | I need to tranlate a audio.. | 21:37 |
| craigbass1976 | blumm, there's nothing there yet. I just wondered | 21:37 |

| blumm | craigbass1976: be careful with files that start with a "." though | 21:38 |
| orbisvicis | unop, b/c thats the shotgun approach and that is a to..n of work and might not work | 21:38 |
| DRLD | unop thanks. configure worked this time. cirkit i also installed curl, what is this? | 21:38 |
| craigbass1976 | blumm, no worries there. It was just shocking to see all those folders set up on a new install. I'm used to nothing but the . (.bash... etc) files | 21:39 |
| * orbisvicis thinks he would laugh like that if someone told him to climb mount Everest | 21:39 | |
| cirkit | curl is a tool to transfer data from or to a server, using one of the supported protocols (HTTP, HTTPS, FTP, FTPS, SCP, SFTP, TFTP, DICT, TELNET, LDAP or FILE). The command is designed to work without user interaction. | 21:39 |

| newToLinux | Hi all, after the updates for ubuntu, the ltsp client can´t play sound anymore from website | 21:40 |
| newToLinux | anybody knows how to solve this? | 21:40 |
| unop | orbisvicis, well, true, but i'd say it has a higher chance of fixing the issue and probably not as time consuming as hunting down the bug through some profiling tool -- your choice | 21:40 |
| newToLinux | i´ve tried to install the gstreamer ugly plugins | 21:40 |
| newToLinux | and the gstreamer ffmpeg plugins | 21:40 |
| orbisvicis | unop, profiling tool ? | 21:40 |
| newToLinux | but still can´t play sound | 21:40 |
| annie_g | Jack_Sparrow: Wanted to say thanks for your help. Here is link I found for a 773 page PDF of the the ABS-Guide - http://www.tldp.org/LDP/abs/abs-guide.pdf - Thx again. | 21:40 |
| lufis | Is it possible to install windows after the fact without grub getting blown to smithereens? | 21:40 |
| Gnea | unop: y'know, i've seen people strike down solutions left and right due to some unknown fear... unnerving. | 21:40 |
| unop | orbisvicis, yea, something like strace or valgrind | 21:41 |
| botero | salve | 21:41 |

| cbones | Note that you must adjust the FIRMWARE_INSTALL_DIR path to your distribution. The standard place where firmware is installed to is /lib/firmware. However some distributions put firmware in a different place. | 21:43 |
| lufis | I've got ubuntu on 3 partitions, and would like a tiny windows partition to experiment... is it possible to install it without grub getting murdered in cold blood? I.e., could i install windows, then reinstall grub from a livecd? | 21:43 |
| cbones | what path do i need to use | 21:43 |
| Egyn | Hi, does anyone know in what way it is possible for me as an individual to go on a campaign with a mission of helping people in poverty and despair with the philosophy of ubuntu in mind? to educate people and use IT as a tool of moving away from poverty? | 21:43 |
| Gnea | lufis: why not install it in a virtual machine, such as vmware? | 21:43 |
| orbisvicis | hvgotcodes, strangely enough ive seen that myself, and my friends (on windows) randomly (rarely) happen, did you reboot? | 21:43 |
| unop | cbones, it really depends on the module -- most times the path is hard-coded into the module -- doesn't the documentation for whatever you are installing say anything about the firmware path? | 21:44 |
| lufis | Gnea: i'm not sure that would work under the circumstances | 21:44 |
| Gnea | lufis: what circumstances? | 21:44 |
| hvgotcodes | orbisvicis: been like this for a few days | 21:44 |
| hvgotcodes | might have to do with firebug | 21:44 |
| lufis | Gnea: I have a windows install cd provided by dell... would vmware run the installation? | 21:44 |
| hvgotcodes | no i disabled it | 21:44 |
| orbisvicis | hvgotcodes, got firebug and gmail works | 21:45 |
| Gnea | lufis: try it and find out. :) what's the worst that's gonna happen? a bsod? all your data will remain intact. | 21:45 |
| orbisvicis | hvgotcodes, opera ? | 21:45 |
| lufis | Gnea: ;) well, i've never used vmware or anything like it before | 21:45 |
| hvgotcodes | no firefox | 21:46 |
| hvgotcodes | wierd | 21:46 |
| hvgotcodes | ive tried clearing cache and disabling firebug globablly | 21:46 |
| Gnea | lufis: well you can use it for 30 days free (the workstation version) or use vmware server (which will run a desktop OS without any problems) for free | 21:46 |
| TwT | is there any chinese here? | 21:46 |
| unop | cbones, i would say, use /lib/firmware | 21:46 |
| orbisvicis | hvgotcodes, try opera .. ? | 21:46 |
| lufis | Gnea: are there any FOSS alternatives? | 21:46 |
| cbones | unop: please look here http://dpaste.com/59694/ | 21:47 |

| rainwalker | Egyn: ug I know how you feel | 21:49 |
| Egyn | i've tried for 3 years of making it work | 21:49 |
| unop | cbones, well, the script looks ok -- is something going wrong? | 21:49 |
| khajav2 | unop: I disconnected internet, again: I am int in gdm graphical window manager > gnome | 21:50 |
| cbones | it doesn't work when i reboot----My wireless doesn't connect | 21:50 |
| Egyn | that network card the _only_ reason why i havent switched from xp | 21:50 |
| unop | khajav2, hmm, not sure .. maybe you could try this command. DISPLAY=:0.0 dolphin # see if it helps | 21:50 |
| cbones | i've already installed the b43-fwcutter | 21:50 |

| un2him | i cannot get suspend to work with nvidia driver. when i disable the nvidia driver, suspend works. Suggestions? | 21:51 |
| orbisvicis | unop, do you use xvnc ... ? | 21:51 |
| unop | cbones, after you install the firmware and reload bcm43xx module -- does your wireless interface come up? | 21:51 |
| Egyn | rainwalker: well i'll just let the notebook become a server in the future running unix/linux and never care about wireless on it again | 21:52 |
| orbisvicis | unop, if so could i compare your strace to mine | 21:52 |
| Egyn | rainwalker: cannot be bothered to switch atm | 21:52 |
| cbones | no | 21:52 |
| unop | orbisvicis, i don't use xvnc no -- is this happening through a vnc session? | 21:53 |
| seki1 | anyone got novell evolution segfaulting on herron? | 21:53 |

| rainwalker | ubtest: as a matter of fact, yes. what's your problem? | 21:56 |
| wols | linux is not complicated. it's sane and structured | 21:57 |
| ubtest | all i want to do is enable desktop effects and i have to learn a programing language | 21:57 |
| AxeZ | ubtest, linux is very userfriendly | 21:57 |
| khajav2 | any one know how to run graphical programs via chroot? | 21:57 |
| wols | ubtest: no you don't. what videocard? | 21:57 |
| ubtest | brand new laptop.. nvidia | 21:57 |
| rainwalker | ubtest: no, you don't. In a terminal, try "SKIP_CHECKS=yes compiz" without the quotes | 21:57 |
| wols | AxeZ: xauth howto. google it | 21:57 |
| wols | ubtest: glxinfo |grep direct | 21:58 |
| AxeZ | wols, what? | 21:58 |
| wols | rainwalker: how do you know he has 3D enabled | 21:58 |
| cbones | unop: heres what it says http://dpaste.com/59696/ | 21:58 |
| rainwalker | wols: well if that works then we'll know ;P | 21:58 |
| wols | AxeZ: sorry misread. is for khajav2 | 21:58 |
| lwizardl | Hi | 21:58 |
| wols | khajav2: xauth howto. google it | 21:58 |
| lwizardl | can someone tell me how I can add my Tor to apt | 21:58 |
| unop | orbisvicis, look towards the end of the strace around line # 700 -- it's complaining about not being able to find the relevant theme files - sounds like the cause of your problems | 21:58 |
| ubtest | said no whitelist driver found | 21:59 |
| wols | lwizardl: you can't add it to ubuntu repos. you can make your own repo and add it to your own sources.list | 21:59 |
| wols | ubtest: what does the command say I gave you? | 21:59 |
| unop | cbones, and you only have one wireless card plugged in at the moment? | 21:59 |
| orbisvicis | unop, i was looking at that .. but it doesnt look that serious, and i dont have anything to compare it to | 21:59 |
| lwizardl | vols: sorry thats not what i'm looking to do. I need to add support for Tor connections to my apt-get so I can get updates, etc | 22:00 |
| cbones | yes | 22:00 |
| ubtest | direct rendering = no | 22:00 |
| cbones | its the card that came in the laptop | 22:00 |
| khajav2 | wols: thanks | 22:01 |
| wols | lwizardl: privoxy. google a howto http://www.google.de/search?q=apt-get+over+socks+proxy&ie=utf-8&oe=utf-8&aq=t&rls=org.mozilla:en-US:official&client=firefox-a | 22:01 |

| oren | how do i get japanese font for open office? (i can type japanese in gedit) | 22:01 |
| unop | orbisvicis, well, the way i am looking at this is, if the relevant theme's icons and cursors are not found -- the vncviewer is going to have to make do - and that's not good enough in your case as all you get is the empty place holders | 22:01 |
| ubtest | when i try to enable desktop effects in hardy heron it says can not enable... | 22:01 |
| wols | ubtest: you need those drivers and direct rendering must be yes. then compiz will work | 22:02 |
| Pruebaaaaaaaa | I-m actually having a problem, before installing a SLAX version I ran Ubuntu and Windows with grub but after the install (I set up properly) I can just load SLAX with lilo.. That/s lilo http://pastebin.com/m413b2351 and grub http://pastebin.com/m2ec32279. Thanks | 22:02 |
| orbisvicis | unop, no its not just icons, its every image possible is black | 22:02 |
| hoptobecubic | alright, i'm having seriously intense trouble editing a video file. All i'm trying to do is have the video start at 8:20 and finish at 11:08. the rest i want cut. If anyone feels very kind , i'll post it on my ftp. or if you know of a more appropriate room please tell me | 22:02 |
| wols | Pruebaaaaaaaa: is ubuntu still intalled? is the ubuntu bootloader still coming up on boot? | 22:02 |
| Jimfox | hello! | 22:02 |
| Pruebaaaaaaaa | wols I have seen GRUB on /boot/ already | 22:03 |
| unop | cbones, well, it appears to me that your wireless interface is up -- doesn't it show up in the network manager / applet ? | 22:03 |
| cbones | wols: what is the command to do that | 22:03 |
| Erick | how do i go up one level in Terminal? | 22:03 |
| wols | Pruebaaaaaaaa: I did not ask that. answer the questions I did ask | 22:03 |
| oberoc | Erick: cd .. | 22:03 |
| Pruebaaaaaaaa | How can I check that wols_ | 22:03 |
| Erick | thanks oberoc | 22:04 |
| wols | Pruebaaaaaaaa: you should know if your ubuntu is still installed. and you see if the ubuntu kernels show up in your boot menu | 22:04 |
| unop | orbisvicis, well, either way, it's not good -- also what seems to be out of place is all these "resource unavailable" messages -- but i don't know enough about debugging with strace to know the significance of them | 22:05 |
| Jimfox | uhm i have a question hopefully someone can answer, i want to run second life since they have a linux version, it should be as easy as running .secondlife, but nothing at all happens, not even an error message, i was wondering what i can do to make it work | 22:05 |
| orbisvicis | yeah, even in google images nothing is displayed | 22:05 |
| Pruebaaaaaaaa | wols I just can load SLAX (LILO)... UBuntu and windows were in grub | 22:05 |
| cbones | unop: where is the net work manager at | 22:05 |
| oberoc | Has anybody backported ff3 to 7.10? | 22:05 |
| wols | Pruebaaaaaaaa: then you don't have a ubuntu problem but a slax problem. you are off topic | 22:05 |
| wols | goodbye | 22:05 |
| ubtest | sigh i dont have the restricted device manager | 22:05 |
| Pruebaaaaaaaa | cya | 22:05 |
| ubtest | ? | 22:05 |
| orbisvicis | unop, neither do i ; \ Thanks though, ill keep looking | 22:06 |
| oren | Jimfox: r u running SL from the command line? | 22:06 |
| unop | cbones, it's in the notification area / system tray -- the little icon with two-computers connected together | 22:06 |
| cbones | no | 22:06 |
| Jimfox | i go where the files are and double click the one that i have to, and the prompt window comes up, i click run bot nothing happens | 22:06 |
| unop | orbisvicis, it can't hurt to try the aptitude command i gave you earlier - it might work and fix the issue - just as long as you cross your fingers :) | 22:07 |
| hoptobecubic | no one wants to help me out for a minute:-/ i just need a video file to be clipped and after three hours i haven't managed to do it myself | 22:07 |
| onisciente | I dont know what happened, my firefox cant load the web videos, but the java is enable and was working since I installed everything. Any ideia? | 22:07 |
| oberoc | hoptobecubic: What are you using? | 22:07 |
| wols | onisciente: java doesn't do web videos | 22:07 |
| onisciente | wols: so, what could be? | 22:07 |
| DeadKennedy2880 | wols - how do you do it without pulling out your hair? | 22:07 |
| wols | onisciente: typically they use flash | 22:08 |
| unop | onisciente, videos seldom have anything to do with java and vice-versa | 22:08 |
| onisciente | unop: ok, thanks. So what can i do? | 22:08 |
| wols | DeadKennedy2880: every once in a while I go postal and kill all workers in a local post office. great stress reliever | 22:08 |
| unop | onisciente, well, what kind of videos are they? do you know? | 22:08 |
| DeadKennedy2880 | hehe | 22:08 |
| onisciente | unop: youtube | 22:08 |
| DeadKennedy2880 | note to self - stay clear of USPS | 22:09 |
| unop | onisciente, that's flash -- make sure flash is loaded into firefox -- navigate to about:plugins and have a look there | 22:09 |
| onisciente | unop: all videos are blocked | 22:09 |
| Overand | I don't want to start a flame war or any sort of thing like that, but I'm building an ubuntu-server box, and I'm looking into buying 4 750G-1TB drives, and I'm not sure what brand to go for. | 22:09 |
| onisciente | unop: let me see | 22:09 |
| hoptobecubic | oberoc: i've tried everything in synaptic that said anything abuot video editing. avidemux, openmovieeditor, piviti or whatever it was called. i'm currently in vista (dual boot) and movie maker won't open without crashing... which is why i jumped to ubuntu in the first place | 22:09 |
| Jimfox | anyone can help me in how to run second life? it doesnt run at all, there is not even error messages | 22:10 |
| onisciente | unop: shckwave flash 9.0 is there | 22:10 |
| unop | Overand, polls happen in #ubuntu-offtopic .. and your question should really be asked in #hardware -- but i'd say seagate | 22:10 |
| oberoc | hoptobecubic: hang on, let me check | 22:10 |
| plouffe | Does anyone use solfege? I installed it, but it crashes every time I try to start it from the menu. I had the same problem with istanbul. | 22:11 |
| Overand | yes - I was mostly looking for a direction to look | 22:11 |
| Overand | thanks, unop | 22:11 |
| ubtest | i have a brand new laptop with an nvidia card, and running ubuntu on virtualbox... is there an easy way to just install the right drivers and get desktop effects to work? | 22:11 |
| cbones | unop: your talking about up top ion the right side | 22:11 |
| unop | onisciente, does the flash applet load when you navigate here - http://www.adobe.com/shockwave/welcome/ | 22:11 |
| Jimfox | ...am i in the right place solve my problem i wonder? | 22:12 |
| onisciente | unop: ok, i'll do it | 22:12 |
| plouffe | in fact I have the problem with a lot of sound/video programs | 22:12 |
| === threethirty is now known as threethirty_away | ||
| oberoc | hoptobecubic: are you running regular ubuntu or media ubuntu? | 22:12 |
| Overand | ubtest: I don't think virtualbox supports 3d acceleration | 22:12 |
| unop | cbones, right, yes -- sorry, i don't use gnome and when i do, i usually put the notification area down on the right hand side .. but yea, top right, little icon resembling a network of two computers -- double click on it, etc | 22:12 |
| DeadKennedy2880 | ubtest - good question, ive never been able to get virtualbox working right | 22:12 |
| Shoplifter | I was watching the the Diablo3 game play and it seems the system goes to almost 100% cpu.. | 22:12 |
| ubtest | hrmm what about vmware? | 22:12 |
| Overand | ubtest: probably the same. | 22:13 |
| onisciente | unop: No missing plugins were found, but i cannot se the animation!! | 22:13 |
| Overand | If you want to try out efects, and get good performance, you | 22:13 |
| Overand | ll need to be running ubuntu 'actually on the hardware' | 22:13 |
| zelrikriando | how to see animated gifs? | 22:13 |
| Overand | ubtest: consider trying out the LieCD | 22:13 |
| DeadKennedy2880 | ubtest - didnt bother to try after i dual-booted | 22:13 |
| unop | onisciente, you might like to try reinstall flash then -- once done, log out and log back in. sudo apt-get install --reinstall flashplugin-nonfree | 22:13 |
| Overand | ubtest: the current ubuntu versions are pretty good at living alongside windows, if you're not ready to toast windos | 22:13 |
| cbones | unop: it shows that i'm wired right now | 22:14 |
| Overand | ubtest: you can even install it from inside windows using 'wubi' | 22:14 |
| onisciente | unop: thank you. | 22:14 |

| cbones | unop : no | 22:15 |
| hoptobecubic | oberoc: regular ubuntu | 22:15 |
| Jimfox | well ill ask again, anyone knows why when i try to run second life nothing happens? | 22:15 |
| hoptobecubic | mcphail: mplayer crops? | 22:15 |
| unop | cbones, ahh, not sure how i can help you more, i don't use gnome, so i wouldnt know what to do -- maybe you should ask someone who uses gnome | 22:16 |
| mcphail | hoptobecubic: never tries it myself, but you can create "edl" files | 22:16 |
| zelrikriando | how to look at animated gifs? | 22:16 |
| oberoc | hoptobecubic: do you have mplayer loaded? | 22:16 |
| Overand | Jimfox: do you hae proper 3d drivers installed, and do you meet the minimum requirements? | 22:16 |
| mcphail | hoptobecubic: they contain cropping info | 22:16 |
| hoptobecubic | oberoc: i'm not in ubuntu right now, let me reboot and i'll try it | 22:16 |

| zelrikriando | unop, doesnt work | 22:16 |
| unop | zelrikriando, which picture viewer have you tried? | 22:17 |
| zelrikriando | unop, I thought the default one worked...but seems like...no | 22:17 |
| Jimfox | overand: yes i have the nvidia drivers installed, and i have a computer i build myself, dating arround 2006, duo core etc etc, the thing is, noooothing happens, absolutely nothing, when i hit run, thats it | 22:17 |

| neurobuntu | is it possible to run KDE applications in gnome? | 22:19 |
| neurobuntu | without installing kde-desktop | 22:19 |
| unop | neurobuntu, sure | 22:19 |
| oren | Jimfox: r u ok? | 22:19 |
| Jack_Sparrow | neurobuntu yes.. they add a few libs but not all of kubuntu | 22:19 |
| Jimfox | oren: a bit frustrated, i read the instructions and it should just work, but it doesnt | 22:20 |
| Overand | Jimfox: try running it from the command prompt and see if it dumps an error message | 22:20 |
| unop | neurobuntu, just install the kde application, that should pull in just that package and its supporting libraries - not all of kde | 22:20 |
| neurobuntu | So I'm trying to install some software that I have to compile from source... (I wish there were a deb) how can I figure out what kde libs are needed | 22:20 |
| unop | neurobuntu, apt-get build-dep packagename # installs the libraries needed to build that particular package | 22:21 |

| oren | Jimfox: and tell us the error | 22:21 |
| unop | neurobuntu, no, it is actually intended if you want to actually compile something | 22:22 |
| cbones | unop: what should I do | 22:22 |
| Jimfox | oren: er...where is the command prompt again? ahah...used puppylinux before but in ubuntu is ina different place | 22:22 |
| hiptobecubic | ok i'm back. i'm installing mplayer now... | 22:22 |
| neurobuntu | unop: so does apt-get build-dep package name read the config file? | 22:23 |
| unop | cbones, i'm not really sure - like i said, i don't use gnome, so i can't really help much | 22:23 |
| DeadKennedy2880 | unop - do you have to navigate to the package folder to use apt-get? | 22:23 |
| neurobuntu | unop: do I run that instead of make or make install? | 22:23 |
| oberoc | hiptobecubic: mplayer -ss 8:03 -endpos 2:57 | 22:23 |
| zelrikriando | unop, gthumb fixed it | 22:23 |
| unop | neurobuntu, no, all it does is install the libraries that are needed to build your source package -- you have to run ./configure, make, etc afterwards | 22:23 |

| SrgSantos54 | what can i do | 22:24 |

| unop | neurobuntu, let's say you are trying to compile a package named foo. sudo apt-get build-dep foo knows what libraries are needed to complete building of foo, so it installs them for you | 22:25 |
| SrgSantos54 | how do you mount a external HHD | 22:26 |
| SrgSantos54 | ?!? | 22:26 |
| SrgSantos54 | anyone | 22:26 |
| caroline | My laptoop makes lots of noise when I close the lid do you know how to stop it or even tell me what it is | 22:26 |

| neurobuntu | unop: ok I will try that | 22:26 |

| SrgSantos54 | it gives me a error | 22:27 |

| oberoc | caroline: like hard drive noise? | 22:27 |
| neurobuntu | unop: how do I specify the source package? I tried that and I got a Unable to find source package error | 22:27 |
| SrgSantos54 | someone plz help me | 22:27 |
| caroline | safasf I suspect you need to switch your wireless on manually if its a laptop the button should have an anteni item on it | 22:28 |
| oberoc | SrgSantos54: Does it work anywhere else? | 22:28 |
| unop | neurobuntu, well, kluster isn't a package ubuntu knows about -- so in this case, you need to examine kluster's documentation to see what libraries need installing before you go ahead and compile it | 22:28 |
| caroline | like CPU noise | 22:28 |
| safasf | Caroline -- it has a left and right slider, right is on, left is off -- i switched it to the right. | 22:28 |

| Jimfox | agh where is the command prompt? i was hoping it would be in system | 22:29 |
| oberoc | SrgSantos54: It might be ntfs format, and theen you need the module to read and write ntfs | 22:29 |
| oren | Jimfox: should be under accessories maybe? | 22:29 |
| SrgSantos54 | ok and how do i do that | 22:30 |
| rainwalker | ShinjinAkage: I had that problem once; luckily my computer was slow to load the preview so I could click on a different screensaver really fast before it loaded...I know it's a lame solution, but it might work | 22:30 |

| nickrud | theresaf that is verrrry old. You should do remove the packages you made and installed, and then sudo apt-get install sun-java6-jdk | 22:56 |
| amenado | esac you are booting off of cifs file system? i dont think it is possible | 22:56 |
| nickrud | mastrgamr still looking | 22:57 |
| esac | amenado, no i have an smb share mounted via cifs | 22:57 |
| mastrgamr | k | 22:57 |
| amenado | esac if I were you, I delay the mounting of that smb share as much as possible or else you'd be waiting for a long time if network is not available to mount it | 22:57 |
| esac | amenado, how do i delay mounting it and ignore unmounting it ? | 22:58 |
| amenado | esac modify your fstab, mount the share manually | 22:58 |

| molliso1 | hello everyone, i asked a question earlier but my internet connection immediately died. | 22:59 |
| narcoclepsy | how do i change my default java to use the sun packages instead of the gcj garbage :-) | 23:00 |
| orangey | narcoclepsy: update-alternatives or some such | 23:00 |
| orangey | narcoclepsy: do a quick google for it. | 23:00 |
| nickrud | narcoclepsy sudo update-alternatives --config java | 23:00 |
| miguelrsilva | __yy: ty | 23:00 |
| nickrud | !google | orangey ;) | 23:00 |

| narcoclepsy | excellent thanks | 23:00 |
| orangey | narcoclepsy: right. what nickrud said : ) | 23:00 |
| carlyn | theresaf: First time I typed java --version Ubuntu gave me a list of java s and jvm combinations to choose from | 23:01 |
| narcoclepsy | yeah i got it all plus the "check google you lazy loaf" :-) | 23:01 |
| molliso1 | I upgraded from Gusty to Hardy on an machine with an ATI graphics card and now my graphics don't work properly. I don't want to use the proprietary driver, plus there is a bug with installing it on my machine. Does anoyone know how I can downgrade to the graphics driver I was using in Gusty?? | 23:01 |
| orangey | narcoclepsy: I recognize that it would be hard to figure out completely independently. I just didn't remember the exact command, and felt you could make it from my starting point. However, nickrud's point is well taken. | 23:01 |
| nickrud | molliso1 first I'd try sudo dpkg-reconfigure -pcritical xserver-xorg , that will write a new xorg.conf for hardy, saving your old one | 23:02 |
| molliso1 | thanks, i think i already tried that but i will try again to make sure. | 23:02 |
| nickrud | orangey giving the right google terms is helpful, usually pulls up good reading ;) | 23:03 |
| nickrud | molliso1 what ati card? | 23:03 |
| orangey | but what really confuses me is how we're supposed to configure standby / restore nowadays.. No more /etc/default/acpi-support? | 23:03 |
| molliso1 | X1400 i believe | 23:03 |
| molliso1 | i actually don't know how to tell for sure - let me know if there is a command i can use | 23:03 |
| narcoclepsy | so since sun is making java truley open source maybe they can ship the next release with a normal java setup ;-) | 23:03 |

| nickrud | narcoclepsy java get's shipped that way in debian/ubuntu cuz you can have many versions available, and choose which you want to use at the moment with that command. | 23:04 |

| mollison | actually what happens DeadKennedy is when I enable the restricted driver and reboot, it acts like I now have an unknown, generic graphics card and gives me low resolution. | 23:13 |
| nickrud | Panic_Attack that's hardy? If so, you can try using envyng-gtk, but see the following: | 23:13 |
| nickrud | !envyng | Panic_Attack | 23:13 |
| ubottu | Panic_Attack: envyng is an updated version of the *UNSUPPORTED* envy package. It is now part of the ubuntu universe repository (envyng-gtk OR envyng-qt) and has community support. As an early version, its results may vary but this should be used over the unsupported envy package. | 23:13 |

| theresaf | carlyn i am having a problem like yu as well | 23:14 |
| nickrud | carlyn I'm not java expert by any means, just fair at ubuntu packaging (wrote some docs about java-package) | 23:14 |
| mollison | DeadKennedy: I actually installed ubuntu. I'm running on a thinkpad T60. Had gusty working on here fine for several months. | 23:15 |

| mollison | right now i'm using the generic driver, and the refresh is very slow, so i can't really browse the web even. | 23:18 |
| nickrud | mollison downgrading packages to a prior release is not easy, especially with something as integral as X. You could _try_ downloading the deb for it from packages.ubuntu.com, removing xserver-xorg-driver-ati , and dpkg -i the older. Not something I'd recommend, but that's a method | 23:18 |

| mollison | Enable accelerated the accelerated ATI graphics driver in the restricted-manager, then do: {{{sudo dpkg-reconfigure -phigh linux-restricted-modules-uname -r sudo insmod /lib/modules/uname -r/volatile/fglrx.ko}}} Log out and log in. | 23:22 |
| mollison | This is what I need but that doesn't work (yes, even removing the {{{ and doing it as separate commands LOL) | 23:22 |
| NetEcho_ | Howcome Java just randomly stopped working and causes all Firefox windows with java scripts in them to close? | 23:23 |
| nickrud | theresaf are you doing this on the live cd? | 23:23 |
| mastrgamr | i have a tar.gz file. and i dont know how to install what i want out of it | 23:23 |
| bringatowel | creeed, try system -> admin -> services, but generally its better to configure each program | 23:23 |
| jamie | i can not figure out how to get my 5.1 surround working | 23:23 |
| snova | creeed: the /etc/init.d folder holds boot scripts. the /ect/rc.X folders contain links to /etc/init.d and are run on runlevel changes. that's all i know. | 23:23 |
| DeadKennedy2880 | masrtgamr - that an archive | 23:23 |
| mastrgamr | example i downloaded Code::Blocks | 23:23 |
| Starnestommy | mastrgamr: extract it, then read the readme or install files that should be in it | 23:23 |
| mastrgamr | soo how i instal wats int he archive? | 23:24 |
| crusher_ | anyone know how to install cinelerra | 23:24 |
| mastrgamr | ok | 23:24 |
| narcoclepsy | mastrgamr: You need to.. yeah what Starnestommy said.. | 23:24 |
| Soundbuay | how does one set firewall settings in ubuntu | 23:24 |
| carlyn | checkinstall for both classpath and cacao receive no errors - both end with dpkg -r xxx message, but says cacao is not installed - still need sudo ... | 23:24 |
| theresaf | nickrud, i think i have found the problem | 23:24 |
| crusher_ | or is there a program/file that I can use to install it | 23:24 |
| narcoclepsy | mastrgamr: uncompress it and read the readme file that is mostlikely tgere | 23:24 |
| snova | mastrgamr: specifically, read the INSTALL file. it usually exists. | 23:24 |
| crusher_ | I have tried about 4 different things but I cannot get cinelerra installed | 23:24 |
| nickrud | theresaf that's good, cuz I found exactly one ref on google to that error (congrats, by the way on your uniqueness ;) | 23:24 |
| theresaf | the dpkg make created it as jdk not java and its still installed, | 23:24 |
| NetEcho_ | I'm having this issue where I try to run javascript based games on pogo.com and when I use sun-java6 it forcefully closes the browser window and if I use openjdk it doesn't even let me open the applet | 23:25 |
| theresaf | so i need to purge the jdk package | 23:25 |
| nickrud | theresaf ah, you still haven't removed the ones you made? | 23:25 |
| theresaf | they didnt show up | 23:25 |
| bringatowel | mollison, which command gave an error? | 23:25 |
| creeed | bringatowel, I did but I dont found all daemons there! | 23:25 |
| theresaf | i found it by looking at update-alternatives | 23:25 |
| nickrud | theresaf I was looking for the ones from ubuntu, I'd assumed you had removed them earlier as asked. But that's good, you found it | 23:25 |
| bringatowel | creeed, ok then look what snova said | 23:26 |
| mollison | Is there a channel focused on helping people with graphics problems??? | 23:26 |
| creeed | okay | 23:26 |
| NetEcho_ | I'm having this issue where I try to run javascript based games on pogo.com and when I use sun-java6 it forcefully closes the browser window and if I use openjdk it doesn't even let me open the applet | 23:26 |
| greenfishx3 | whats the greatest audio tool on linux? for ripping (eac) converting lossless etc etc? | 23:26 |
| webcamwonder | !poll | greenfishx3 | 23:26 |
| ubottu | greenfishx3: Usually, there is no single "best" application to perform a given task. It's up to you to choose, depending on your preferences, features you require, and other factors. Do NOT take polls in the channel. If you insist on getting people's opinions, ask BestBot in #ubuntu-bots. | 23:26 |
| crusher_ | anyone here use cinelerra | 23:26 |
| rainwalker | greenfishx3: mencoder or ffmpeg | 23:26 |
| theresaf | i cant find the package to remove | 23:26 |
| snova | greenfishx3: for ripping, i just use KAudioCreator. it works nicely. | 23:27 |
| nickrud | theresaf dpkg -l | grep jdk maybe | 23:27 |
| bringatowel | NetEcho_, Java is not the same thing as Javascript | 23:27 |
| NetEcho_ | bringatowel, ok then java | 23:27 |
| nickrud | theresaf you made the package yourself, right? then look in the directory where you made them for the names ;) | 23:27 |
| greenfishx3 | ubottu, so its not okay to ask for a specific software in here? thanks rainwalker, snova | 23:27 |
| ubottu | greenfishx3: Error: I am only a bot, please don't think I'm intelligent :) | 23:27 |
| NetEcho_ | bringatowel, I installed sun-java6 and it worked for all of 2 hours and now it hasn't been working all week | 23:28 |
| futuresoon | botsnack | 23:28 |
| theresaf | ok its only got the one still wont install | 23:28 |
| rainwalker | greenfishx3: ubottu is a bot, just FYI, and #ubuntu is not the place for polls | 23:28 |
| NetEcho_ | every time I ask for help nobody listens in here | 23:28 |
| craigbass1976 | Anyone else have trouble setting up Hardy LAMP server? Can't think of any more packages I have to start, update, or install | 23:28 |
| DeadKennedy2880 | greenfishx3 - its a support channel for ubuntu | 23:28 |
| NetEcho_ | and if I go to ##java they'll ban me | 23:28 |
| bringatowel | NetEcho_, yeah keep using sun java, maybe there is something wrong with the browser plugin? | 23:28 |
| greenfishx3 | okay my bad then | 23:28 |
| NetEcho_ | bringatowel, how do I know? | 23:29 |
| anteaya | i am getting a readline error with one of my apps. No such file to load readline. Synaptic identifies readline already installed. Why would I get a readline error if readline is already installed? | 23:29 |
| DeadKennedy2880 | greenfishx3 - np | 23:29 |
| bringatowel | craigbass1976, what's the problem? | 23:29 |
| theresaf | nickrud http://paste.ubuntu.com/23614/ | 23:29 |
| tunys | http://tinyurl.com/57ty6c | 23:30 |
| snova | anteaya: what's the problem? when does it occur? to what program? | 23:30 |
| NetEcho_ | How do I know if my browser plugin is broken? | 23:30 |
| anteaya | snova: in rails when i run script/console | 23:30 |
| bringatowel | NetEcho_, can you find the java browser plugin in the package manager? | 23:31 |
| anteaya | snova, http://pastie.org/224142 | 23:31 |
| snova | anteaya: i don't know much about ruby (just that it's a scripting language). | 23:31 |
| theFATMAN | how do i install fonts? | 23:31 |
| NetEcho_ | bringatowel, Sun Java Plugin? | 23:31 |
| craigbass1976 | bringatowel, mysql-server-5.0 apache2 php5 libapache2-mod-php5 php5-mysql all installed. Iget the message on a php script pulling from a database "Fatal error: Call to undefined function mysql_connect() in file ...." | 23:31 |
| carlyn | theresaf: What does it say? Have you tried from System>Administration>Synaptic Manager? (search on java to get started - then ask again) | 23:31 |
| anteaya | snova, fair enough, do you know anything about readlines? | 23:31 |
| NetEcho_ | bringatowel, yea I see it should I remove it? | 23:31 |
| newToLinux | which version of squid do i need to install for hardy heron? advise please | 23:31 |

| ubottu | To install a Java runtime/interpreter on Ubuntu, look at https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Java - For the Sun Java runtime install sun-java6-jre from the !Multiverse repository | 23:32 |
| Steven1 | !grub | 23:32 |
| 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 | 23:32 |
| snova | anteaya: just that it's a library, from which only readline() is really useful. | 23:32 |
| bringatowel | NetEcho_, that sounds like it, maybe try reinstalling it? | 23:32 |
| webcamwonder | !java | theresaf | 23:32 |
| ubottu | theresaf: please see above | 23:32 |
| esac | i added kvm and kvm_intel to both /etc/modprobe.d/blacklist and /etc/modprobe.d/my_blacklist and they still get loaded at boot ! any ideas ? | 23:32 |
| theresaf | carlyn did you look at the pastebin | 23:32 |
| snova | anteaya: if the problem occurs when you run the program, it's not a library dependency issue | 23:32 |
| newToLinux | !squid | 23:32 |
| ubottu | Sorry, I don't know anything about squid | 23:32 |
| theresaf | webcamwonder i need the jdk not the damn jre - i am a developer | 23:32 |
| snova | anteaya: unless you are running a ruby script? then install whatever bindings exist to ruby for libreadline | 23:32 |
| wols | !jdk | 23:32 |
| ubottu | Sorry, I don't know anything about jdk | 23:32 |
| anteaya | snova, oh okay, if it isn't a dependency issue, where would the issue lie? | 23:32 |
| wols | !jre | 23:33 |
| ubottu | To install a Java runtime/interpreter on Ubuntu, look at https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Java - For the Sun Java runtime install sun-java6-jre from the !Multiverse repository | 23:33 |
| trucMuche | Lisa1340, !!!!!! | 23:33 |
| snova | anteaya: are you running a ruby script? | 23:33 |
| nickrud | theresaf that file should be in sun-java6-bin package, which is claiming it's not finding it. Are you doing this in a live cd? | 23:33 |
| wols | theresaf: if you really are a dev, this info is enough for you to know how to get it | 23:33 |
| snova | anteaya: it looks like it | 23:33 |
| bringatowel | craigbass1976, that seems like a php error, not sure what would cause that if you have all the php sql packages installed | 23:33 |
| anteaya | snova, rails is a ruby program so i guess yes | 23:33 |
| theresaf | nickrud as i said i am doing it from a persistant usb key | 23:33 |
| anteaya | snova, and i have the libreadlinesruby installed | 23:33 |
| trucMuche | Lisa1340, stop your private **** please !! | 23:33 |
| NetEcho_ | bringatowel, same issue the apple gives me a grey applet box and then eventually closes | 23:34 |
| NetEcho_ | *applet | 23:34 |
| craigbass1976 | bringatowel, and that script, other than having different user/pass is the same running fine on two feisty boxes and a cent5 box | 23:34 |
| theresaf | ie installed on usb from livecd | 23:34 |
| theresaf | then booted off key | 23:34 |
| nickrud | theresaf I missed you saying that; that's the equiv of a live cd. The only error I've found like that on the web (the unique one) was someone trying to do it in a live environment | 23:34 |
| snova | anteaya: well, like i said, i don't know anything about ruby. sorry. | 23:34 |
| Asymmetry | What's a good GUI app to use for encoding/transcoding to iPod-compatible video formats? | 23:34 |

| theresaf | i cant blow away the windoze partition though | 23:35 |
| theresaf | it has expensive licenced windoze sw on it | 23:35 |
| nickrud | theresaf you don't need to. Are you using vista? | 23:35 |
| theresaf | nah xp pro i think | 23:35 |
| Blaqlight | theresaf, sure you can.. its can its called delete. | 23:35 |
| DeadKennedy2880 | theresaf dualboot | 23:35 |
| Steven1 | Can someone help me find my hard drive labeled hdb1 please? Vista screwed up it's own Bootmanager and now I have to overwrite it with grub to get back in. | 23:35 |
| theresaf | wouldnt touch vista with a barge pole | 23:35 |
| nickrud | theresaf well, if it was vista I'd say use vista to resize it's partition and install ubuntu in the remaining space. But the ubuntu installer will do that for you with xp | 23:35 |
| bringatowel | craigbass1976, its not a problem with the script, just php or php sql functions are not configured properly on the system | 23:36 |
| trucMuche | thanks ompaul | 23:36 |
| theFATMAN | how do i install fonts? | 23:36 |
| Steven1 | Put them in your fonts folder. | 23:36 |
| theresaf | blaqlight are you going to pay for the £3000 of sw then | 23:36 |
| nickrud | theresaf I really think it's something to do with the live environment, but don't know enough to say for sure | 23:36 |
| craigbass1976 | Steven1, just remember that grub labels them differently than linux does | 23:36 |
| Alfarin | Thanks ompaul | 23:36 |
| Blaqlight | theresaf, my laptop came with xp pro media center edition. its now gone, long gone. | 23:36 |
| theresaf | what can i do to update the key to a better library thing? | 23:36 |
| Steven1 | craigbass1976: That's what I need help with. I need to find out the grub name for hdb1. | 23:36 |
| bringatowel | NetEcho_, reinstall it from Synaptic package manager | 23:36 |
| craigbass1976 | Steven1, hd1,0 or something like that for drive/partition | 23:37 |
| theresaf | blaqlight i need the windoze partition and its only a 20gb drive, i am running ubuntu from a 4gb usb key | 23:37 |
| Blaqlight | so there isn't any opensource equivelants for this software? | 23:37 |
| craigbass1976 | Steven1, google. I've got a kid in my lap so trying not to type much | 23:37 |
| NetEcho_ | bringatowel, thats how I did it | 23:37 |
| Steven1 | craigbass1976: I tried (hd0,3) but that only got the grub loader for Linux working. Vista isn't in there. I was thinking of manualy editing it. | 23:37 |
| esac | !squid | 23:37 |
| ubottu | squid is a caching proxy for the Web. See http://www.squid-cache.org | 23:37 |
| bringatowel | Asymmetry, try Avidemux (with GTK) | 23:37 |
| theresaf | blaqlight ok can you get dreamweaver 8, office pro + vb .net , quickbooks and autocad for linux? | 23:38 |
| craigbass1976 | Steven1, manually editing grub.conf? nothing wrong with that. keep the livecd handy though | 23:38 |
| * Asymmetry tries to, but has this problem with fat-fingering his password. | 23:38 | |
| bringatowel | NetEcho_, make sure to uninstall the non-Sun java packages | 23:38 |
| purpleposeidon | so, uhm, tunys, I hate you. | 23:38 |
| DeadKennedy2880 | theresaf - yes, on wine | 23:38 |
| Dhraakellian | does anyone have a copy of the .deb for linux-image-2.6.24-17-generic lying around? | 23:38 |
| Blaqlight | theresaf, ok.ok.ok I give | 23:38 |
| === ballzee is now known as Sinister | ||
| tunys | purpleposeidon, I think we're even | 23:38 |
| ompaul | Alfarin, your welcome | 23:38 |
| tunys | hey, no one go to that linke | 23:39 |
| theresaf | nickrud, so is there any packages i can install to change this from live to real | 23:39 |
| purpleposeidon | tunys: What have I ever done to you? :P | 23:39 |
| Blaqlight | DeadKennedy2880, xp pro won't work because of the lack of IE | 23:39 |
| bringatowel | theresaf, office = open office | 23:39 |
| nickrud | theresaf a simple solution is to buy a cheap 20gb hard drive for linux (hoping it's not a laptop) | 23:39 |
| Steven1 | craigbass1976: Exactly. I don't remember the syntax for it but I could base it off of the Linux ones for example. All I need is the grub name for the partition that Vista is on. | 23:39 |
| purpleposeidon | everyone: Yeah, I fixed it so that you don't want to go there | 23:39 |
| === charlie is now known as Guest76097 | ||
| tunys | purpleposeidon, you turned every attempt of mine to annoy you into a goatse | 23:39 |
| theresaf | nick its a dell latitude x300 laptop here | 23:39 |
| tunys | which is so nineties | 23:39 |
| purpleposeidon | tunys: well.... | 23:39 |
| DeadKennedy2880 | blaqlight - i think crossover would handle that.... | 23:39 |
| purpleposeidon | tunys: You actually pasted it? :P | 23:40 |
| nickrud | theresaf I've seen people install ubuntu on an external hard drive, it's possible you can do it on a usb key but I'm not sure. | 23:40 |
| Blaqlight | it would | 23:40 |
| TwoD | Hello all, I've got a weird problem: When configuring my comp to be a gateway for a second comp (cross-over cable) and my wireless internet access, I lost both my wired NIC icons in the nm-applet. I have no clue as how to get them back. One of them is connected to the other comp of course, and the other one was temporarily disabled via ifdown as I don't need it now. | 23:40 |
| Blaqlight | most parts of it work too... except for outlook | 23:40 |
| craigbass1976 | Steven1, ok, kid's gone... what's the linux partition (/dev/hda version) and what's it called in /boot/grub/menu.lst | 23:40 |
| theresaf | but its not a livecd as such as its persistant storage | 23:40 |
| Blaqlight | powerpoint word and excel all work with any special software (aside from wine) | 23:40 |
| theresaf | blaqlight i have to keep windoze for when i develop on C# and VB.net | 23:41 |
| Blaqlight | without* | 23:41 |
| Steven1 | Linux partition is /dev/hdb3 and /dev/hdb4. Windows is on /dev/hdb1 but I need the grub name for it and how to edit grub.conf. | 23:41 |
| Steven1 | craigbass1976: Linux partition is /dev/hdb3 and /dev/hdb4. Windows is on /dev/hdb1 but I need the grub name for it and how to edit grub.conf. | 23:41 |
| nickrud | theresaf but the environment is the live one, not a true install | 23:41 |
| craigbass1976 | Steven1, I was wrong. In ubuntu it's /boot/grub/menu.lst | 23:41 |
| DeadKennedy2880 | blaqlight - i love crossover, getting things to work perfect can be a challenge but well worth it once running well. | 23:41 |
| NetEcho_ | bringatowel, uninstalled any openjdk stuff same issue | 23:41 |
| theresaf | so could i use the current version i am running to install a full version on another key? | 23:42 |
| amenado | !who | 23:42 |
| ubottu | As you can see, this is a large channel. If you're speaking to someone in particular, please put their nickname in what you say (use !tab), or else messages get lost and it becomes confusing :) | 23:42 |
| craigbass1976 | Steven1, so I guess sudo gedit and open up that file. paste the contents of it somewhere first and I'll have a look at it | 23:42 |
| Blaqlight | DeadKennedy2880, no experience with it. wine does all I need. | 23:42 |
| bringatowel | NetEcho_, hrm idk then, are you using firefox? maybe try with some other browser like opera, otherwise go to the ubuntu forums and look for info on java browser plugin | 23:43 |
| Blaqlight | theresaf, vb is all about windows I know. | 23:43 |
| serwrf | hi | 23:43 |
| Steven1 | craigbass1976: Ok stupid question. Do I have to be in the Actual Ubuntu to do that or can I run it from the LiveCD as I am doing now? | 23:43 |
| amrik | Hey when I try to ssh into my Gutsy server it logs in but then it immediately logs me out. any ideas? | 23:43 |
| theresaf | amrik any errors when you do? | 23:43 |
| amrik | theresaf: none that i can see | 23:43 |
| craigbass1976 | Steven1, you can do it fmro the livecd. you have to find your installed Ubuntu's /boot/ folder though | 23:43 |
| Steven1 | craigbass1976: Because I ran that command in terminal and a black text document opens. | 23:43 |
| theresaf | i had a problem the other day where my X session kept failing | 23:43 |
| amenado | amrik-> go see your /var/log/auth.log file for hints | 23:44 |
| nickrud | theresaf if I had a 4 or 8 gig key I'd try it myself ;) | 23:44 |
| bringatowel | NetEcho_, you can also check if the sun java got installed properly, go to terminal and type: java -version | 23:44 |
| amrik | amenado: on this computer or on the server? | 23:44 |
| craigbass1976 | Steven1, gedit should just fire up a gui text editor | 23:44 |
| nickrud | I'd love being able to work at other peoples machines with ubuntu rather than windows | 23:44 |
| amrik | amenado: i am authenticated fine | 23:44 |
| amenado | amrik-> on the host you are loggin into | 23:44 |
| Steven1 | craigbass1976: Exactly. With nothing in it. | 23:44 |
| amrik | theresaf: is there a way to ssh and run a command immediately? | 23:45 |
| theresaf | ssh -c | 23:45 |
| Steven1 | craigbass1976: Also, I have a partition for / and a partition for /home. How do I determine which is the boot partition without names? | 23:45 |
| NetEcho_ | bringatowel, it shows the right version and if I use Opera it trys to have me install a browser plugin using a .RPM file for linux | 23:45 |
| craigbass1976 | Steven1, right. then you open up a file (big open button) and browse to the /boot/grub partition or your ubuntu INSTALL, not the livecd /boot/grub | 23:46 |
| theresaf | nickrud how can i start the install from here onto /dev/sdd1 | 23:47 |
| Blaqlight | hmm wonder if I can install ubuntu on a headless keyboardless machine. | 23:47 |
| amenado | Steven1-> if you launched sudo grub and do a find /boot/grub/menu.lst | 23:47 |
| Steven1 | craigbass1976: OK what are the terminal commands? | 23:47 |
| dstrbdfrk1 | has anyone tried to acess hotmail thru evolution mail? | 23:47 |
| Steven1 | amenado: Ah thanks! | 23:47 |
| bastid_raZor | Blaqlight; you would need to have ssh running in order to do that. once you get ssh up you are fine. | 23:47 |
| bringatowel | NetEcho_, hmm is there any other download option? | 23:47 |
| NetEcho_ | bringatowel, .bin file | 23:48 |
| bringatowel | dstrbdfrk1, does hotmail support pop3 or imap? | 23:48 |
| craigbass1976 | Steven1, well, you could vi the file, but I figured that gedit would be easier, especially since ubuntu ship with vi and not vim | 23:48 |
| Steven1 | amenado: That command gets this output. '(hd0,3)' | 23:48 |
| craigbass1976 | Steven1, either way, you have to find the file and edit it | 23:48 |
| Blaqlight | I can't get it running because Id have no idea where to start. | 23:48 |
| dstrbdfrk1 | im not sure do you know how i can find out ? | 23:48 |
| amrik | it seems i am getting an EOF when i ssh in | 23:48 |
| craigbass1976 | Steven1, gedit will be the user friendly version | 23:48 |
| Steven1 | craigbass1976: Yes but what partition is it on? | 23:48 |
| amrik | so thats immediately terminating any ssh connection i try | 23:48 |
| amenado | Steven1-> then thats where your /boot is. use that for your menu.lst entry | 23:48 |
| bastid_raZor | Blaqlight; actually, headless.. i'm not sure you can install while it being headless. | 23:49 |
| craigbass1976 | Steven1, be careful now.... sudo fdisk /dev/sdb | 23:49 |
| theresaf | amrik are you trying to log in as root? | 23:49 |
| dstrbdfrk1 | i tried the reciving as pop.hotmail.com | 23:49 |
| amrik | theresaf: no just normal user | 23:49 |
| Steven1 | craigbass1976: 'Unable to open /dev/sdb' | 23:49 |
| dstrbdfrk1 | and sending as smtp.hotmail.com | 23:49 |
| craigbass1976 | Steven1, then type a p (for print) at the menu and copy that to a pastebin somewhere | 23:49 |
| dstrbdfrk1 | but it didnt work | 23:49 |
| craigbass1976 | Steven1, ahh, balls | 23:49 |
| Steven1 | craigbass1976: Did you mean hdb1? | 23:49 |

| serwrf | hi. People, I've tried Ubuntu and come to a conclusion: WINDOWS is a much better system to use than ubuntu. | 23:58 |
| craigbass1976 | YAY LAMP is working! | 23:58 |
| teethdood | bringatowel: yes. I dual boot linux and windows, would like to run the installed windows partition as a virtual device | 23:58 |
| S4nD3r | Hi there. Uses virtualbox OSE and have USB support isnt easy to get. I tried a lot of tutorials, but I didnt get | 23:58 |
| S4nD3r | sorry | 23:58 |
| serwrf | The reason is that you cant install software with Ubuntu | 23:58 |
| serwrf | With Windows you download and the software installs itself | 23:58 |
| amrik | how do i redirect sdterr to console? | 23:58 |
| serwrf | With Ubuntu, it never installs | 23:59 |
| Steven1 | serwrf: What are you talking about? So does Ubuntu. | 23:59 |
| beastax | hey | 23:59 |
| neyugn | does anyone know how to fix this which is desktop icons disappear? like all my desktop icons is gone but i can see them in the file browser | 23:59 |
| beastax | is there an easy, gui way of configuring fstab? | 23:59 |
| bringatowel | serwrf, yes you can, go to Applications -> Add /Remove for starters | 23:59 |
| serwrf | I've downloaded form yahoo and other sites | 23:59 |
| Steven1 | serwrf: Ubuntu is easy and installs itself as well. | 23:59 |
| serwrf | and it has NEVER installed | 23:59 |
| teethdood | serwrf: with windows you don't even have to download the software. It downloads and installs for you | 23:59 |
| teethdood | without even you knowing/wanting | 23:59 |
| bringatowel | teethdood, im not sure if those will let you do that exactly, but they might | 23:59 |
| * Dream falls asleep trying to edit disks\boot\grub\menu.lst :/ | 23:59 | |
| serwrf | I've used the included application install stuff in Ubuntu | 23:59 |
