| kingfishr | Kaldor: yes | 00:00 |
|---|---|---|
| onthefence928 | unop: the partition is alreayd designated for swap last i checked | 00:00 |
| Kaldor | great | 00:00 |
| joebob777as7 | alon_m any other ideas? | 00:00 |
| unop | nickrud_, just saving us time and frustration :) | 00:00 |
| chris_ | natt after hitting cut we hit paste so it pasted empty folders into the cd/dvd window | 00:00 |
| chris_ | we were trying to burn them | 00:00 |
| Kaldor | I can finally play quake 3 without dual boot :D | 00:00 |
| alon_m | joebob777as7, about what ? | 00:00 |
| unop | onthefence928, ohh well, i guess you don't need mkswap then -- but it can't hurt to run it again to make sure tho | 00:00 |
| nickrud_ | onthefence928, sudo fdisk -l will tell you for sure | 00:00 |
| joebob777as7 | alon_m the printers. using the lpstat -t -h localhost:1234 I get this output: system default destination: MFC-8640D_BR-Script3 / device for MFC-8640D_BR-Script3: smb:///192.168.0.13/brother | 00:01 |
| tharvey | anyone know how I can configure gdm to use metacity instead of compviz in hardy? I get strange graphical redraw issues with compviz often | 00:01 |
| alon_m | DJAdmiral, heres my card ATI Radeon 9550 | 00:01 |
| joebob777as7 | alon_m I tried this: Device URI: http://localhost:631/MFC-8640D_BR-Script3 and got this: Brother "/usr/lib/cups/backend/http failed" | 00:01 |
| linxeh | Dmole: you have to put the commands in on stdin. at now + 10 minutes < echo foo.bash or omething maybe | 00:01 |
| natt | chris_: weird, so this was like a double problem, (1) you should've selected "copy" but (2) the folders were empty after the move | 00:01 |

| vasily | Ijust installed Vbox but can not find how can I start it? | 00:01 |
| DJAdmiral | joebob777as7: I think the best idea is to lower your res to 1024x768, turn off compiz, and then try to run a game in opengl and configure the game's bottle to optimum level | 00:01 |
| kingfishr | Kaldor: just because a game uses opengl doesn't _necessarily_ mean it has a linux version...in the case of quake III arena there is a linux version, though. | 00:02 |
| chris_ | natt_: to complicate things they were stored on another harddrive that is formatted in a windows file format. I think fat32... | 00:02 |
| Paddy_EIRE | vasily, you need to give your user permission | 00:02 |
| chris_ | natt yes to both. | 00:02 |
| scifiguy951 | how do i get chmod | 00:02 |
| joebob777as7 | DJAdmiral i just turn off compiz and run them at 1600x1200 and they work | 00:02 |
| linxeh | Dmole: cho foo.bash | at now + 10 minutes | 00:02 |
| bazhang | vasily, should be in apps, system tools | 00:02 |
| billenium | For some reason my firefox seems to crash and then i can never open it again until i restart... also at the same time gedit doesn´t work until i restart | 00:02 |
| linxeh | Dmole: echo foo.bash | at now + 10 minutes | 00:02 |
| onthefence928 | nickrud_: it says it's of type Linux swap / Solaris | 00:02 |

| Paddy_EIRE | vasily, create a "vboxusers" group and add yourself | 00:04 |
| joebob777as7 | alon_m yes it's localhost:631... should I change that to localhost;1234 | 00:04 |
| Paddy_EIRE | vasily, a restart maybe required also | 00:05 |
| wolfeySI | billenium: just one my stupid experience, nothing works if there's not enough virtual memory, ram or swap :) 'free' of course tells that, but i had to reset few times before i realized i dont have swap mounted:) | 00:05 |

| natt | chris_: i think "undelete" is a standard term for this kind of thing, especially in FAT the main difference between a regular file and a "deleted" one is the OS sticks a marker on the file name, it's an unusually trivial change | 00:06 |

| kris19 | zelrikriando, i dont understand it is connected through a vga cord | 00:17 |
| nickrud | scifiguy951, by using sudo for one command, or sudo -i for a series | 00:17 |
| __yy | scifiguy951: you can use 'sudo su -' to become root, but what you probably want to do is make it owned by your user, which you can do with 'sudo chown yourusername:yourusername thefilehere' | 00:17 |

| Shaba1 | anyone here have any familiarity with thunar file manager | 00:20 |
| Gaming4JC | spyware?... | 00:20 |
| unop | feistel, hmm, it might be that you only have one .conf file for xorg and that is /etc/X11/xorg.conf | 00:20 |
| nickrud | Fujisan, exorcism time? | 00:20 |
| feistel | unop, I have many of them | 00:20 |
| Fujisan | Can I install this on my Ubuntu CHristian distro | 00:20 |
| Fujisan | Nick__ | 00:20 |
| Gaming4JC | -_- ..... | 00:20 |
| Fujisan | i want to test which ubuntu is better | 00:20 |
| Fujisan | the christian one | 00:20 |
| unop | solexious, this needs to done everytime you open up a bash shell session | 00:20 |
| Fujisan | or the satanic | 00:20 |
| Fujisan | which is better | 00:20 |
| Gaming4JC | lol | 00:21 |
| joe__ | ubuntu christian edition? | 00:21 |
| DrLame | Fujisan: They're both equally fail sounding | 00:21 |
| solexious | unpo, thank you | 00:21 |
| Gaming4JC | the Ubuntu normal one, the Ubuntu CE has been discontinued, otherwise I'd get it | 00:21 |
| Fujisan | http://ubuntusatanic.org/ <--- thats the site | 00:21 |

| rand0m | is there a way to be able to still charge an iPod via USB w/ ubuntu ? | 00:21 |
| Fujisan | so satanists love ubuntu | 00:21 |
| Gaming4JC | O_o | 00:21 |
| Fujisan | i reckon | 00:21 |
| Fujisan | its no joke | 00:21 |
| mgrant | Gaming4JC: looks like you went to lyad.com and used their messenger app? | 00:21 |
| __yy | rand0m: you mean apart from plugging it in? | 00:21 |
| DrLame | Fujisan: Everyone loves ubuntu | 00:21 |
| unop | rand0m, yes, just plug the ipod in :) | 00:21 |
| rand0m | i did plug it in.. its not charging | 00:22 |
| Shaba1 | You know I know linux is suppost to be better,faster,stronger | 00:22 |
| wubrgamer | hey guys | 00:22 |
| wubrgamer | quick question | 00:22 |
| Shaba1 | but even with ubuntu it is definately NOT for the computer novice | 00:22 |
| Fujisan | I thougt that something was wrong with open source when Ubuntu Christian Edition apeared, but now this project can fix it and add some flames to the desktops =) | 00:22 |
| wubrgamer | how do i have my wireless card connect without ANY user intervention | 00:22 |
| DeadKennedy2880 | Fujisan - never underestimate the power of the dark side | 00:22 |
| wubrgamer | e.g. without network manager | 00:22 |
| IndyGunFreak | Shaba1: and why do you think its "not for a novice"? | 00:23 |
| unop | rand0m, hmm, have you tried plugging it in a different USB port? | 00:23 |
| wubrgamer | or without even logging in | 00:23 |
| vasily | Magnetron, I guess I do something wrong: I just installed Vbox and I am trying to start it. I can not find an icon for it to click | 00:23 |
| solexious | unop, lol, didnt mean to hit enter when i was in my home folder | 00:23 |
| wubrgamer | i'd like to have this wireless-ly connected computer to be used as a printer server | 00:23 |
| bella | trying to modify xorg. conf , so far every time I edit xorg .conf and restart x, the sytem default to failsafe and I have to use dpkg phigh, so in effect I can edit xorg conf any ideas? | 00:23 |
| unop | solexious, ouch ouch | 00:23 |
| __yy | rand0m: have you checked the cable? the usb port? the ipod itself? ... there's nothing at all that should stop you from charging an ipod | 00:23 |
| feistel | unop, may be KDM use another file? | 00:23 |
| wubrgamer | anyone? | 00:24 |
| unop | solexious, that command should have spit out a list -- you could use that list to revert changes | 00:24 |
| magnetron | vasily, aer you using the virtualbox from their homepage? that's proprietary and i cannot provide any support for it. good luck | 00:24 |
| Fujisan | I’m afraid the open source movement won’t be fixed because of this. It probably just got itself into more trouble. They aren’t Satanists but communists using Satan’s name to get attention. It would be better not to have anything to do with them. May Satan bless you. | 00:24 |
| trevor | How do I revoke a lost PGP key? | 00:24 |
| unop | feistel, maybe -- i don't use KDE tho and am not very familiar with it -- maybe you should ask in #kubuntu | 00:24 |
| justinram | i got a quick question, im a n00b to ubuntu, and i jsut downloaded Virtual Machine, is there a way to use a windows partition instead of having to install windows all over again? | 00:24 |

| vasily | magnetron, do you know how to make USB mic work? | 00:25 |
| trevor | justinram: There is a way to do it. I found the instructions on Google, but it doesn't work with Vista... | 00:25 |
| DeadKennedy2880 | justinram - you can install ubuntu like a windows program, use 'WUBI' | 00:25 |

| wubrgamer | i'm sure there is | 00:26 |
| bastid_raZor | Fujisan; all that is .. is a theme in ubuntu. how gullible do you have to be do believe this. so my theme is OSX .. should i release a UbuntuOSX edition? | 00:27 |
| nickrud | Fujisan, been away for a bit; don't know where the channel's are for those subdistros, but this one is ubuntu-specific | 00:27 |
| bella | Need help with xorg,trying to modify xorg. conf , so far every time I edit xorg .conf and restart x, the sytem default to failsafe and I have to use dpkg phigh, so in effect I can edit xorg conf any ideas? | 00:27 |
| trevor | mgrant: I understand the mechanics of it, at least in a basic sense... I was just wondering how I could remove my busted key from the works. Since I don't have anyone else to sign it, or the old one for that matter of fact, could I just make a new one? | 00:27 |
| mgrant | wubrgamer: maybe try a static configuration? | 00:27 |
| Fujisan | bastid_raZor i used to use ubuntu muslim edition and before that the christian edition so to be even more evil i can switch to the ubuntu satan edition now xD | 00:27 |
| nickrud | Fujisan, would please cease with the trollling? | 00:28 |
| __yy | bella: if editing xorg.conf makes X not start then you're editing it wrong ... try looking at the xorg logs to see if it tells you why | 00:28 |
| Fujisan | and they say MS is evil D: | 00:28 |
| bastid_raZor | Fujisan; your humor does not amuse me. | 00:28 |
| minimec | wubrgamer: /etc/network/interfaces is the debian way. the wifi-radar sortware should do too. | 00:28 |
| DeadKennedy2880 | Fujisan - your a nut - rock on ;) | 00:28 |
| lenix_ | Anybody knows if there is a way to make Kaffiene run 16:10 aspect ratio ? | 00:28 |
| mgrant | trevor: if you have the original private key still, you can revoke it - though you only need to do that if you're worried someone else has it or you want to be sure no-one else uses it | 00:28 |
| wubrgamer | mgrant: how do i do a static configuration? | 00:28 |
| mgrant | trevor: otherwise just make a new one (and generate the revocation cert!) | 00:28 |
| unop | solexious, if you copy that list and put it in a file named file_list in the home directory - this ought to work. for i in $(cut -d " " -f 1 file_list | tr -d "\`" | tr -d "'"); do mv -vi $i.txt "$i"; done | 00:28 |
| zcat[1] | The satanic version of linux? Isn't that SUSE? | 00:29 |
| * nickrud goes off to check for his revoke cert cd | 00:29 | |
| bastid_raZor | Fujisan; the actually fun thing is. you wasted the time to install each when it is only a theme change. | 00:29 |
| zcat[1] | or was that the sellout version? | 00:29 |
| HappyHater | I would've thought it was gentoo | 00:29 |
| Fujisan | nickrud and bastid_raZor i am not trolling those are all legitimate ubuntu distros | 00:29 |
| solexious | unop, wow, thank you, trying | 00:30 |
| Fujisan | no discrimination please | 00:30 |
| mgrant | wubrgamer: I could tell you exactly how to do it on fedora, but I'm new to ubuntu :/ could try the stuff at https://help.ubuntu.com/7.10/server/C/network-configuration.html (random googling) | 00:30 |
| nickrud | Fujisan, context ;) | 00:30 |
| zcat[1] | gentoo is the masochist version | 00:30 |

| nickrud | Fujisan, ok, I'll say you're not trolling but see unop above | 00:30 |

| Fujisan | do* | 00:34 |
| wubrgamer | fujisan: sudo apt-get install kubuntu-desktop | 00:34 |

| wolfeySI | why use emule on vine? | 00:42 |
| monkey_ | i have a new external drive and want to format it in such a way that i can read/write to it with linux and read using windows. what is the best format? | 00:42 |
| trashguy | RH, server is CLI | 00:42 |
| zcat[1] | You found a virus that wine will run? That's cool! Wine is getting really compatable with windows now! | 00:42 |
| wolfeySI | amule is good enough | 00:42 |
| scudwork | zcat[1]: if I do curl http://ubuntuforums.org -x http://myproxy.com | 00:42 |
| scudwork | it works fine | 00:42 |
| trashguy | RH, it is pretty minimalistic and a quick install | 00:42 |
| zcat[1] | scudwork: perhaps curl doesn't look at http_proxy :( | 00:43 |
| mint_ | cbassett, when you download those 3 from synaptic and it installs, open terminal and type sudo ndisgtk | 00:43 |
| === kia|exam is now known as kiasyn | ||
| mint_ | sudo ndisgtk | 00:43 |
| RH | trashguy well can i use the desktop version on a server ? | 00:43 |
| trashguy | RH, i wouldnt recommned it | 00:43 |
| Jack_Sparrow | Fujisan You are also banned in kubuntu.. kde4 | 00:43 |
| mint_ | it opens ndisgtk and you can search/install windows wireless driver | 00:43 |
| trashguy | RH, you can download x and stuff for the server | 00:43 |
| mint_ | it worked for me | 00:43 |
| scudwork | zcat[1]: yeah that may be true, the funny thing is when i configure the proxy through the gnome network proxy gui curl works fine, go figure | 00:44 |
| trashguy | RH, gui and stuff just waste resources | 00:44 |
| tj83 | cbassett, i would save mint_ suggestions.. but pls join #Digital-it where i can better help you. | 00:44 |
| DIL_ | hi all where are the screensaver images stored | 00:44 |
| monkey_ | i was thinking about formatting in fat32 (which allows read/write for both linux and windows) but i read that it fragments a lot, what other options are there? | 00:44 |

| Red_Wraith | Hello all. | 00:44 |
| cbassett | done | 00:44 |
| unop | monkey_, ntfs | 00:44 |
| zcat[1] | scudwork: weird.. open a shell in gnome terminal and see what it might have set for the environment that curl is seeing? | 00:44 |
| __yy | monkey_: linux can do ntfs read/write | 00:44 |
| monkey_ | __yy, really? that is amazing! | 00:45 |
| RH | trashguy i understand but.. i have just started to enter the linux world.. really don't know much about it .. | 00:45 |
| mint_ | but you do need to find a copy of that driver i think whether it be online or on disc.. its an .inf file i think | 00:45 |
| __yy | monkey_: indeed it is | 00:45 |
| zcat[1] | !ntfs-3g | 00:45 |
| ubottu | ntfs-3g is a Linux driver which allows read/write access to NTFS partitions. Installation instructions at https://help.ubuntu.com/community/MountingWindowsPartitions | 00:45 |
| jeeves__ | anyone? ClamAV? | 00:45 |
| RH | trashguy any useful links to study more about it primiarily ? | 00:45 |
| unop | monkey_, you could do ext or reiserfs -- but that means installing the appropriate drivers on windows - which is not ideal | 00:45 |
| cbassett | right i tried using a driver but everyone i tried did not work | 00:45 |
| trashguy | RH, the forums are good, if you work form the command line you will learn a lot more then clicking stuff | 00:46 |
| monkey_ | __yy, are there any drawbacks (functionally) to using ntfs? | 00:46 |
| zcat[1] | isn't ntfs3g installed by default? that thingy is misleadin? | 00:46 |
| mint_ | what did you do that the driver didnt work? | 00:46 |
| scudwork | zcat[1]: apparently the port needs to specified in the environment variable otherwise curl doesn't know what to do | 00:46 |
| scudwork | zcat[1]: thanks for your help :D | 00:46 |
| __yy | monkey_: umm, not sure what you mean | 00:47 |
| unop | zcat[1], it is on recent versions of ubuntu -- but i guess that wiki entry applies to people who still run edgy and earlier | 00:47 |

| ubottu | \banlist, please see my private message | 00:52 |
| Fujisan | Jack_Sparrowdo you know if there is a ubuntu pirates of the caribean edition? | 00:53 |
| unop | monkey_, perhaps one thing ntfs-3g doesn't really support is setting the right file permissions - it defaults to allowing absolutely everyone access to an object - but i guess that doesn't really matter since you intended on using FAT anyway (something it doesn't support either) | 00:54 |
| metalgod | i have some trouble with my fresh install with apt-get build-dep gnome-session. apt says it couldn't satisfy dependencies what should i do ? | 00:54 |
| mouseboyx | Is it possible to force video output through svideo on an nvidia card? | 00:54 |
| zcat[1] | ntfs's idea of permissions is completely alien to Linux.. and I expect not well documented either.. | 00:55 |
| Narfee | Why when Totem Player in opened, There's no sound in firefox, and when Skype is opened, there's no sound in Totem, nor firefox... there's only one app that has the right to the sound... | 00:56 |
| unop | zcat[1], well the older ntfs driver (not ntfs-3g) understands ntfs permissions and will report them right -- just not the fuseblk/ntfs-3g one - i guess if the guys from ntfs-3g really wanted, they could support permissions and properly - but no one's complaining so far, and thats a good thing | 00:57 |
| DeadKennedy2880 | narfee - ive noticed that also, good question | 00:57 |
| Narfee | :) | 00:57 |
| zcat[1] | unop: Most of the time I only need to read anyhow, to recover someone's documents after XP has shit itself and won't boot.. I don't have anything dual-boot at home so no other reason I ever need to deal with ntfs. | 00:59 |
| cocox_ | hi do you know how could i desactivate fsck in ubuntu feisty fawn? because is annoying that each time my system hangs and reboot i have to wait like 30 minutes before i could use my computer... | 00:59 |
| Jack_Sparrow | !fsck | 00:59 |
| ubottu | fsck is the FileSystem ChecKer, which runs automatically when you boot if you didn't shutdown cleanly. Type "man fsck" for information on running it manually. The command "sudo shutdown -F -r now" will force a reboot and a filesystem check; "sudo touch /fastboot" will skip a filesystem check at next reboot | 00:59 |
| zcat[1] | cocox_: with ext3 it should need to do an fsck every time.. | 00:59 |
| zcat[1] | err shouldn't | 00:59 |
| cocox_ | zcat[1] there is no way ? | 00:59 |
| Narfee | nobody knows ????????? | 00:59 |
| unop | cocox_, tune2fs ought to help -- see its manpage | 01:00 |
| zcat[1] | cocox_: if it needs to do an fsck, there's probably good reason for it and you shouldn't force it not to | 01:00 |
| CorbinFox | is there a way to find out what my primary/secondary DNS numbers are? Ifconfig doesnt tell me which they are | 01:00 |
| cocox_ | zcat[1] but believe me it sucks... i need to go to a meeting and i have to wait 30 minutes | 01:00 |
| wolfeySI | CorbinFox: /etc/resolv.conf | 01:00 |
| wolfeySI | if you have it configured | 01:01 |
| cocox_ | CorbinFox look at /etc/resol.conf | 01:01 |
| DeadKennedy2880 | Im having trouble using multiple apps - if both need sound, sometimes one wont get it, is there a workaround? | 01:01 |
| sloopy | not letting fsck run when needed is the quick way to get a windows 'emulator' | 01:01 |
| metalgod | any idea how to fix this ? | 01:01 |
| zcat[1] | cocox_: tune2fs will let you do the schedules 20-mount, 30-days checks less often. If it's doing an fsck every time you reboot or even after every crash, there is something seriously screwed up with your install | 01:01 |
| Jack_Sparrow | zcat[1] agreed | 01:02 |
| trashguy | CorbinFox, cat /etc/resolv.conf in cli | 01:02 |
| cocox_ | zcat[1], unop ok thank you guys ... i will read about this.. | 01:02 |
| unr3a1 | does anyone know of any applications in Ubuntu that can read a chm file? | 01:03 |
| CorbinFox | i just opened up resolv.conf in gedit but it only lists my ip address and not my DNS? or am i being stupid? | 01:03 |
| wolfeySI | unr3a1: xchm | 01:03 |
| unop | unr3a1, gnochm | 01:03 |
| unr3a1 | wolfeySI, can I get that through apt-get? | 01:03 |
| zcat[1] | cocox_: also if you upgrade to gutsy, the scheduled checks are much nicer (they appear under the GUI splash screen) and you have the option of postponing them until the next reboot, handy if you need the machine up right away. | 01:03 |
| unop | unr3a1, yes to both | 01:03 |
| unr3a1 | sweet | 01:03 |
| unr3a1 | ty | 01:03 |
| wolfeySI | unr3a1: yes, perhaps also what unop said | 01:03 |
| cocox_ | zcat[1] yeah that is what i need | 01:03 |

| unr3a1 | to both of you.. ty | 01:04 |
| DeadKennedy2880 | narnee - they hear, sometimes the answer isint known, ill try another day tho | 01:04 |
| wolfeySI | unr3a1: btw | 01:04 |
| zcat[1] | cocox_: well, not sure what's going on there; upgrade or fresh install? | 01:04 |
| wolfeySI | unr3a1: apt-cache search program | 01:04 |
| unop | CorbinFox, it could be that your own machine is a DNS server | 01:04 |
| wolfeySI | unr3a1: you can see yourself:) | 01:04 |
| unr3a1 | wolfeySI, ok | 01:04 |
| sloopy | Narfee, i am 'listening' but since i am deaf i dont know much about troubleshooting sound problems ;') | 01:04 |
| cocox_ | zcat[1] upgrade | 01:04 |
| unr3a1 | wolfeySI, thanks. :) | 01:04 |
| unop | CorbinFox, in any case - you can adjust those values to set new primary and secondary DNS servers | 01:05 |
| zcat[1] | cocox_: hmmm.. might be an idea to back up /home and do a fresh install.. all of my upgrades have never worked that well. | 01:05 |
| CorbinFox | what i am trying to do is configure my DS to run on my router XD | 01:05 |
| cocox_ | zcat[1] allrigth thank you ! | 01:05 |
| Narfee | sloopy:: thanks for your listening | 01:05 |
| DeadKennedy2880 | narnee - i find it a very minor problem tho, not life or death trouble with it. | 01:06 |
| CorbinFox | it seems like it may be working now, it is showing a connection for longer than before, so maybe that did it | 01:06 |
| unr3a1 | now I also heard that you can extract chm files to pdf | 01:06 |

| dolags32128 | this is the second time this has happened too.....once a couple of months ago before i switched to windows then it happened again now that i'm back | 01:09 |
| unop | dolags32128, two things could be wrong -- one, your ctrl+alt keys might be stuck down (faulty keyboard) -- two, firefox is somehow crashing so bad it causes X to quit ? so question, does the backspace problem manifest itself in other applications other than firefox? | 01:09 |

| sharperguy | sloopy, oh hmm ill check that out | 01:12 |
| unop | dolags32128, hmm, not sure i know what could be causing this - all i can suggest is you upgrade to the latest version of xorg to hopefully rectify the problem | 01:12 |
| sloopy | arooni-mobile, the internal thermal thing makes the cpu shutdown when it hits the critical temp | 01:12 |
| FelixTheCat | djzn: It helps when you upgrade to have a separate /home partition. | 01:12 |
| unop | djzn, it's not necessary -- but recommended | 01:12 |

| HardDisk | buffalochicken, sudo fsck --help remember to run it from an UNMOUNTED drive ie use a livecd | 01:13 |
| unop | buffalochicken, linux has no chkdsk -- it has a fsck tho | 01:13 |
| djzn | but when I upgrade... can I simply delete all folders and leave the /home undeleted in the ext3 fs... and then install ubuntu on the same partition, this would be the same as not deleting home (of course i dont let the installer format the partition) | 01:14 |
| dolags32128 | i think it just got updated lol i know this is sounding more and more complex....lol | 01:14 |
| buffalochicken | is there defragging? | 01:14 |
| djzn | because I don`t like the idea of the drive being forced to seek ahead | 01:14 |

| HardDisk | anyway if anyone read my request, I'd be happy if there was an answer, I will repeat in a bit. | 01:15 |
| unop | djzn, the counter-argument is that a seperate partition helps improve performance as there is a lower latency in seek times | 01:15 |
| zcat[1] | unop: how does that work? | 01:16 |
| dolags32128 | going to try a different version of the frglx and see if that rectifies the situation | 01:16 |
| djzn | unop: i have 160GB, can do you recommend 20GB for / partition and swap in the end of the drive? | 01:16 |
| zcat[1] | unop: I can understand that if it was /home on a different physical disk.. | 01:16 |
| sloopy | harddisk, i dunno i use a machine running xubuntu as my router | 01:16 |
| HardDisk | it's a weird incident | 01:17 |
| HardDisk | and I can't even view imageshack.us for example | 01:17 |
| unop | zcat[1], not sure about the technical details of it - i remember reading it on some tutorial on maintaining disk efficiency | 01:17 |
| orphean | zcat[1]: it improves seek times due to the way the head reads data from the platter. on a seperate partition the head can move directly to the swap area without having to find it on the main filesystem | 01:17 |
| HardDisk | all my network settings are back to default, very strange | 01:17 |
| cronin | I want to run Ubuntu on my Mac... is there a good tutorial? | 01:17 |
| IndyGunFreak | HardDisk: kernel upgrade> | 01:17 |

| zcat[1] | orphean: that's only for swap though... | 01:18 |
| IndyGunFreak | HardDisk: i had to recompile my atheros driver the other day, due to a kernel upgrade. | 01:18 |

| ozzloy | i expect to get images from a camera one at a time, about 3 per second. i'd like to turn that into a video stream. how do i do that? | 01:18 |
| FelixTheCat | cronin: is that a powerPC or intel mac? | 01:18 |
| bastid_raZor | djzn; that is agood idea. | 01:18 |
| cronin | FelixTheCat: a powerpc | 01:18 |
| djzn | zcat: don`t you agree that partitioning the drive raises the seek time between partitions and fragments the available space, going unnefficient? | 01:18 |
| HardDisk | IndyGunFreak, my network card is standard, weird phenomenon. I will try a lesser kernel, maybe that is the issue. | 01:18 |
| === zven is now known as sugrob | ||
| HardDisk | good thinking :) | 01:18 |
| unop | orphean, i'm not sure that explains it right tho -- the disk seek should be the same that way, partitioned or not -- as the file system table should maintain a pointer/index to where a file can be found | 01:18 |
| === administ1ator is now known as evil_tech | ||
| orphean | zcat[1]: well its any file. since it breaks the disk up into chunks, and ext3 knows what chunk a file is on the head can move to the right area without seeking as much | 01:18 |
| ozzloy | i have found how to make a sequence of images into a movie using mencoder and ffmpeg, but that requires having a bunch of files already. i'd like to append the jpgs to a video stream as they come in from the camera | 01:19 |
| ozzloy | is that possible? and how? | 01:19 |
| sugrob | How i can send /dev/urandom or simething else to tcp socket? | 01:19 |
| orphean | unop: it doesn't eliminate seek, it reduces it | 01:19 |
| evil_tech | anyone install VMware Server 1.06? I have a question I can't find an answer to | 01:19 |
| ozzloy | or where should i look? my google foo fails me | 01:19 |
| HardDisk | IndyGunFreak, bbl :) good idea | 01:19 |
| djzn | bastid_raZor: what idea was good? deleting the folders and leaving /home? | 01:20 |
| bastid_raZor | evil_tech; #vmware is a good place to look too, if help isn't found here. | 01:20 |
| amenado | sugrob-> try netcat to send it out..i dont know how to do it on top of my head | 01:20 |
| evil_tech | bastid_raZor:i'll try there thanks | 01:20 |
| zcat[1] | djzn: I would think so, but only slightly. There are advantages to having /home on it's own partition though.. easier to reinstall if you need to; and if you run out of space on /home you just run out of space.. if you do the same on / things can get horribly broken | 01:20 |
| hexoroid | when i type echo -e "\x31\x33\x33\x32\x62"; it gives me the ascii is there anyway to convert it from ascii to hex ? | 01:20 |
| bastid_raZor | djzn; making that partition table .. 20GB for / and /swap at the end. i'm unsure how well your leaving /home idea will work. | 01:20 |

| orphean | avis: put a floppy in it :) if you have /media/floppy0 ubuntu picked it up | 01:21 |
| dolags32129 | happens when i hold down the backspace for more than half a second | 01:21 |
| djzn | yes, for example.... i boot the liveCD, then I access the ext3 drive... and delete everything BUT NOT /home... and when choosing the partitions, I choose not to format them... it would be quite the same right? | 01:21 |
| sloopy | indio, COPYDIR=data should work | 01:22 |
| alapidas | Hi all - I am having problems with my ubuntu box crashing and rebooting by itself on a random basis. I run the proprietary nvidia drivers, and when I turn them off I see the crashes disappear. But, I installed the new 173 driver and now I can;t get the nvidia drivers to work at all. I even tried reverting and it still doesnt work. any ideaS? | 01:22 |
| indio | Thanks sloopy | 01:22 |
| zcat[1] | djzn: I think that will work, but I wouldn't risk it with my data ;) | 01:22 |
| bastid_raZor | djzn; is /home on a partition by itself already? it sounds risky anyway you go with that idea | 01:22 |
| djzn | zcat: in terms of file placement, there could be a possibility of system files not being in the beginning of the disk right? | 01:22 |
| FelixTheCat | cronin: not sure if you have this yet, but here is the link to get the ppc version (among others): http://cdimage.ubuntu.com/ports/releases/8.04/release/ | 01:22 |
| * FelixTheCat is still looking | 01:23 | |
| djzn | risky for a dumb right..LOL... not me who knows WHAT to delete? | 01:23 |
| cronin | FelixTheCat: thanks i'll take a look | 01:23 |
| bastid_raZor | djzn; theoretically that will work though. | 01:23 |
| zcat[1] | djzn: the other thing you can do is resize the partition and make a new one for /, then move /home/* to / on that partition and after installing to the new /, mount the old partition as /home | 01:23 |
| yedda1 | guys... with broken updates all the time, how can you ever think, that would attract people towards linux and away from win? | 01:23 |
| sloopy | djzn, i would suggest you backup /home and repartition with a seperate /home | 01:23 |
| c0rrupted_mind | I'm having a problem with iptables. when I try to restore my iptables from a saved rules file I get Bad argument 'logdrop'. Here's some verbose and the rules file I'm trying to use... http://pastebin.com/d1074c30e | 01:23 |
| dolags32129 | my xserver keeps restarting if i hold down just backspace for more than half a second | 01:23 |
| yedda1 | this one is major: my terminal won't start from within ubuntu lol | 01:24 |
| djzn | the thing is, I dont want to partition... i don`t want to have a `gap` between system and data files... the seek time will grow | 01:24 |
| djzn | and the possibility of ubuntu installation grow over 20GB, i will be lost! | 01:24 |
| zcat[1] | djzn: the safest thing to do is tar.gz /home onto a USB drive, then reinstall, then restore the backup.. | 01:24 |
| Jack_Sparrow | yedda1 Offtopic, but you are causing your own problems by going outside our repos | 01:24 |
| Silverzrishi | hi guys | 01:25 |
| bastid_raZor | djzn; on a 160G drive you have little worries of seek time. | 01:25 |
| Silverzrishi | im an ubuntu noob i need help | 01:25 |
| unop | hexoroid, perl -le 'print map { sprintf "%X", ord $_} split //, shift' $(echo -e "\x31\x33\x33\x32\x62") | 01:25 |
| bastid_raZor | djzn zcat[1]'s idea is best.. tar it to a flash drive then copy it back. | 01:25 |
| djzn | bastid_razor: I know, but what if the system partition grows smaller... like compiling stuff.... grows over 20GB.... | 01:25 |
| djzn | bastid_razor: my home will be like 40GB of data | 01:26 |
| djzn | and not a usb stick LOL | 01:26 |
| bastid_raZor | djzn; sadly i have only a 10G / and a 290G /home and 2G /swap .. i do not have seek issues. | 01:26 |
| Jack_Sparrow | djzn External drive or whatever backup medium suits your needs | 01:26 |
| zcat[1] | djzn: USB -drive- ; they start at about 160G for a small one... | 01:26 |
| djzn | ok so I should really have a home separate, no matter what | 01:27 |
| unop | djzn, personally i think that unless you are using a really old drive where the seek time is relatively slow - it shouldn't make much of a difference in terms of measurable performance whether or not you partition your disk | 01:27 |
| orphean | i agree | 01:27 |
| djzn | my concern is not much seek time | 01:27 |
| Jack_Sparrow | djzn yes. sep home is the best choice | 01:27 |
| Silverzrishi | hi guys i need help | 01:27 |
| unop | djzn, the advantages of having a seperate home partition outweight the negative side effects of having one | 01:28 |
| sloopy | djzn, do 'du -h --max-depth=1' in /home and it will tell you how big your folder is | 01:28 |
| orphean | Silverzrishi: just ask your question. | 01:28 |
| djzn | my concern is not making the use of the drive efficient, like going out of space in root partition and tons of space in home still left | 01:28 |
| tj83 | ? | 01:28 |
| zcat[1] | djzn: 20G will be HEAPS for / anyhow.. even after you install a bunch of stuff.. | 01:28 |
| djzn | 20 GB will it be enough for ANYTHING | 01:28 |
| djzn | i mean, KDE compiles, stuff like that | 01:28 |
| bastid_raZor | my 10G / is nearing full.. but i do have heaps of apps installed | 01:28 |
| zcat[1] | djzn: you ought to be compiling stuff in /home anyhow... you don't build as root do you? | 01:29 |
| FelixTheCat | cronin: Most of the stuff I'm finding is rather old. Here are two: http://weblog.techdad.net/2006/11/12/dual-boot-mac-osx-and-ubuntu/ and http://weblog.techdad.net/2006/11/13/dual-boot-mac-osx-and-ubuntu-part-ii/ | 01:29 |
| unop | djzn, personally, i seperate / /usr /var /tmp /opt swap and /home - and i don't feel my system slow down -- plus i get the advantage of managing each mount point seperately to perhaps improve performance | 01:29 |
| cronin | FelixTheCat: thanks again, i'll check them out | 01:29 |
| zcat[1] | ./configure ; make ; sudo make install | 01:29 |

| Nanovox | Is anyone on that can explain where the edgy mirror went? | 01:29 |
| FelixTheCat | cronin: enjoy! | 01:29 |
| djzn | i am concerned about space efficiency | 01:30 |
| djzn | for example | 01:30 |
| djzn | the windows partition was 8GB when I last formatted | 01:30 |
| Silverzrishi | orphean: i am using 2 OS on 2 seperate harddrive now, one is windows xp, the other is ubuntu | 01:30 |
| sloopy | with a HD that large it wont be much of an issue | 01:30 |
| djzn | it is almost full and complaining | 01:30 |
| djzn | what about swap | 01:30 |
| amenado | djzn have you look at LVM for space efficiency and forward looking for upgrades? | 01:30 |
| djzn | do I put it inbetween or do i put it last | 01:30 |
| bastid_raZor | djzn; buy a bigger drive.. 180$ for a TB drive.. i'm soon to purchase myself. | 01:30 |
| orphean | what about swap? this isn't System V, your swap isn't going to fill up. | 01:31 |
| DeadKennedy2880 | bastid_raZor - agreed | 01:31 |
| djzn | my swap does not even get written ever | 01:31 |
| djzn | i have 4 GB | 01:31 |
| djzn | of RAM | 01:31 |
| sloopy | i just picked up two SATA300 500Gib drives for $80US each | 01:31 |
| zcat[1] | djzn: up to 1G of ram, swap should be 2x ram.. beyond 1G, I just stick with 2G or swap=ram | 01:31 |
| Jack_Sparrow | djzn 4 gig swap | 01:31 |
| unop | djzn, if i were you, i would try and place swap on a partition of a seperate physical drive if possible -- otherwise i don't really care where it goes | 01:31 |
| orphean | if you're worried about swap getting in the way of other things just tack it on before the ubuntu paritions or after them | 01:31 |
| Silverzrishi | orphean: how do i mount up my windows xp harddrive on my ubuntu desktop everytime i start up my computer | 01:32 |
| odinsbane | I have a video playing and I just moved a file over the video. Is there a way to save it? The movie is still playing and has no problems | 01:32 |
| djzn | 4 gig swap? my 2GB swap DOESNT ever get written at all | 01:32 |
| dolags32129 | my xserver keeps restarting if i hold down just backspace for more than half a second | 01:32 |

| bastid_raZor | sloopy; where did you find that deal? | 01:32 |
| unop | djzn, zcat[1], well, if he were using suspend-to-disk -- he might want to consider enough space for the contents of memory to reside on swap | 01:32 |
| orphean | Silverzrishi: http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=770294 | 01:32 |
| zcat[1] | djzn: you reboot too often then | 01:32 |
| Jack_Sparrow | djzn If you have 4 gig of ram, and space to burn. make a 4 gig swap so you have the ability to suspend if you want to at some point in time | 01:33 |
| sloopy | bastid_raZor, when taxes came i just walked into (worst) best buy and was on shelf | 01:33 |

| Silverzrishi | orphean: is there a commandline to do it everytime i start up my computer automatically? | 01:33 |
| you_cant_see_bla | ubuntu likes the cock in and around the mouth | 01:33 |
| dolags32129 | my xserver keeps restarting if i hold down just backspace for more than half a second | 01:33 |
| zcat[1] | unop: that's why swap=ram, no matter how much ram.. once you get past 2G you don't really need swap except to hibernate | 01:33 |
| djzn | listen, suspend to RAM... can it be disconnected from Power cable? | 01:33 |

| Plazma | is there a url out there that describes the differences between ubuntu desktop and ubuntu server ? | 01:34 |
| sloopy | i dont insult my machines with emacs... (no, i am not a vi person... i swear ;') | 01:34 |
| Yasumoto | Plazma: essentially, you don't have the graphical interface- no mouse/gnome/kde | 01:34 |
| Plazma | sloopy, their all just tools, but i myself prefer vi for the fact its everywhere | 01:34 |
| metalgod | sloopy: emacs does everything :) | 01:35 |
| orphean | Plazma: server is just regular ubuntu with a different install disk and a different set of base packages that are preinstalled. | 01:35 |
| odinsbane | I'm thinking maybe totem caches the file somehow. | 01:35 |
| Yasumoto | Plazma: you also have the options to install an ssh server, a web server, a dns server, mail server, and maybe others (proxy server?) straight from the install | 01:35 |
| orphean | Plazma: they do some extra configuration stuff for you in ubuntu-server. | 01:35 |
| metalgod | you even got a psycoterapist | 01:35 |
| Silverzrishi | orphean: hi but i did not see the link u posted, can u please post it again ? | 01:35 |
| unop | sloopy, you must be a master in the zen of gedit | 01:35 |
| arooni | hey team; i use unison to login and sync my files from my laptop to my desktop (both running ubuntu hardy). in the log file i'm seeing: Permission denied (publickey,password). ... so im not sure how to fix this? | 01:35 |
| IndyGunFreak | anybody successfully applied the ICQ patch on pidgin? | 01:35 |
| sloopy | when i started using unix (1980 somthin) the machine i had could run emacs very well so i used vi | 01:35 |
| orphean | Silverzrishi: Sure! http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=770294 | 01:35 |
| Plazma | Not to sound like a troll, but does Ubuntu still put "kid gloves" on you when you try to do anything system related.. like rebuliding a kernel.. etc? | 01:35 |
| orphean | Plazma: yes. | 01:36 |
| Silverzrishi | orphean: ok thank alot | 01:36 |
| bastid_raZor | IndyGunFreak; ICQ is still a usable protocol? | 01:36 |
| Plazma | orphean, is there anyway around that? | 01:36 |
| Nanovox | When was edgy taken off of http://us.archive.ubuntu.com/ubuntu/dists/ and where is it now? | 01:36 |
| IndyGunFreak | bastid_raZor: of course.. | 01:36 |
| unop | Plazma, i wouldn't say so - it's not much different from how debian does it - and i can swear debian does not allow for "kid gloves" :) | 01:36 |
| orphean | Plazma: you can still rebuild the kernel the old debian way if you want, but it makes your system unsupportable. | 01:36 |
| sloopy | unop, no dont use gedit... | 01:36 |
| Plazma | orphean, ahh i see | 01:37 |

| Jack_Sparrow | acp_ have you changed any of your sources | 01:38 |
| Plazma | orphean, so in the ubuntu-server , do you have the option of installing various things at install, like kde/gnome or the like? | 01:38 |
| acp_ | no | 01:38 |
| orphean | rand0m: AWN for named, avant-window-navigator for the command, whatever you want for comment. | 01:38 |
| sloopy | unop, ed... what real unix geeks have for breakfast ;') | 01:38 |

| acp_ | source.list | 01:38 |
| acp_ | mm | 01:38 |
| orphean | Plazma: The only difference is what gets installed by default, and if you choose to install something like a LAMP stack from the install cd it comes preconfigured. | 01:39 |
| Plazma | orphean, so if i were to run a mail server and a web server and some other 3rd party serves (say dovecot or the like).. would server be teh choice.. or can they run the same on desktop too | 01:39 |
| rand0m | perfect, thanks orphean | 01:39 |
| orphean | Plazma: everything else is the same. | 01:39 |
| zcat[1] | acp_: I'd try a different mirror .. sometimes they aren't as synched as they ought to be | 01:39 |
| sloopy | use a printing terminal and you will appreciate ed... so will the trees | 01:39 |
| Plazma | orphean, preconfigured how? | 01:39 |
| Jack_Sparrow | acp_ what country are you in.. use pastebin and post your /etc/apt/source.list | 01:39 |
| orphean | Plazma: in the sense that its "reasonably setup" for basic security/preformance. Since you were talking about kernel compiling, you will want to further change things I'm sure. :) | 01:40 |
| Jack_Sparrow | zcat[1] I tried three and it was not found | 01:40 |
| Plazma | orphean, right right, i jsut wanted to know what it "preconfigures" is all, and if it's preconfiguration gets in the way of my needs.. but if it's really basic stuff then it wont be a big deal | 01:40 |

| zcat[1] | Plazma: personally, I probably wouldn't .. apart from ubuntu is what I'm nost familiar with.. for serious server work I'd recomend debian or centos or even opensuse | 01:44 |
| orphean | Plazma: they're both equally capable. i like the dpkg stuff and the repositories better than yum and rpm personally. | 01:44 |

| Fryguy-- | chyper67: "doesn't work" doesn't help us | 01:53 |
| mneptok | igor_: why do you have Debian repos in Ubuntu? | 01:53 |
| chyper67 | ok, thanks | 01:53 |
| igor_ | yeah noticed that, removed it | 01:53 |
| m_newton | igor_, Do u sync or merge? | 01:54 |
| m_newton | Nm | 01:54 |
| igor_ | no | 01:54 |
| igor_ | i just installed ubuntu this morning, keep getting "Failed to fetch http://us.archive.ubuntu.com/ubuntu/pool/universe/x/xerces27/libxerces27-dev_2.7.0-5_amd64.deb Hash Sum mismatch | 01:54 |
| igor_ | " and such | 01:54 |
| m_newton | igor_, nevermind | 01:54 |
| dolags32129 | whenever i hold down just my backspace key my xserver restarts....any tips? | 01:54 |
| mneptok | igor_: sudo apt-get clean && sudo apt-get update && sudo apt-get upgrade | 01:54 |
| igor_ | did that, i'll try again ina sec | 01:55 |
| chyper67 | startx did not work too, i will try to configure. thanks | 01:55 |
| tj83 | anyone have a how-to for intel pro wireless 3945? it detects networks but does not connect. | 01:55 |
| DragonWolf | Anyone know of a configuration tool for contrast / brightness for a standard monitor? (ie, non-lcd) | 01:55 |
| Fryguy-- | dolags32129: ctrl-alt-backspace is the key combo to restart your X server. if it happens when you just press backspace I'd imaging there is an error in your keyboard mapping | 01:55 |
| m_newton | dolags32128, well ctrl alt backspace usually does that, check for stuck keys | 01:55 |
| m_newton | heh, Fryguy-- got it before me | 01:55 |
| Fryguy-- | tj83: my 3945 has worked fine when I've used it | 01:55 |
| Fryguy-- | m_newton: i usually do | 01:55 |
| m_newton | Ha ha ha. | 01:56 |
| tj83 | Fryguy--, out of the box | 01:56 |
| dolags32129 | how would i change those settings? | 01:56 |
| Fryguy-- | tj83: yes out of the box, from a live cd, whatever | 01:56 |
| Fryguy-- | dolags32129: /etc/X11/xorg.conf would be a place to start | 01:56 |
| m_newton | dolags32128, check to see if the ctlr alt keys are stuck | 01:56 |
| Rhamphoryncus | Is there some trick for resetting the X config to its originally installed state? It didn't give my full resolution, but the proprietary fglrx driver isn't stable for me, and uninstalling it won't give me any better than 640x480 vesa | 01:56 |
| igor_ | did that mneptok got "Reading state information... Done | 01:56 |
| igor_ | 0 upgraded, 0 newly installed, 0 to remove and 0 not upgraded. | 01:56 |
| igor_ | " | 01:56 |
| dolags32129 | i've already checked that | 01:56 |
| Fryguy-- | Rhamphoryncus: dpkg-reconfigure xserver-xorg | 01:56 |
| igor_ | yet still fails to update without throwing a hash sum mismatch | 01:57 |
| Rhamphoryncus | Fryguy--: tried, no good | 01:57 |
| Fryguy-- | Rhamphoryncus: so what driver are you using now? | 01:57 |
| tj83 | well i certainly have an issue with that 3945 card Fryguy-- i have searched google forever | 01:57 |
| igor_ | its been acting weird, i'll just reinstall | 01:57 |
| tj83 | jack_sparrow do you have any info on intel 3945 wireless? | 01:57 |
| Rhamphoryncus | uhh.. this attempt is configured as fbdev | 01:57 |
| vvd | anyone got sound working on a macbook (early 2008)? | 01:57 |
| Fryguy-- | Rhamphoryncus: yah that's probably wrong | 01:57 |
| Rhamphoryncus | which still seems to give me vesa | 01:58 |
| DeadKennedy2880 | tj83 - i also had no issues with the same card, perhaps that explains the lack of info on google. what have you tried so far? | 01:58 |
| Jack_Sparrow | tj83 nothing comes to mind | 01:58 |
| mneptok | igor_: how does it fail to update if there are no updates? | 01:58 |
| m_newton | igor_, wait. try pasting your source list on pastebin | 01:58 |
| RoughriderUT | wd: Hmm I'm working on the same problem | 01:58 |
| m_newton | !pastebin | igor_ | 01:58 |
| ubottu | igor_: 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) | 01:58 |
| tj83 | DeadKennedy2880, tried adjusting time out value ... was one suggestion.. tried backports. | 01:58 |
| mneptok | tj83: the 3945 is supported by open drivers and works without any special sauce in anything post-Dapper. | 01:59 |
| Rhamphoryncus | Fryguy--: I've tried half a dozen options with displayconfig-gtk, testing all of them fails | 01:59 |
| mneptok | tj83: what flavor of 802.11? | 01:59 |
| Fryguy-- | Rhamphoryncus: so maybe just edit xorg.conf manually? it's usually easier | 01:59 |
| tj83 | hmm... mneptok i dont understand the issue.. 802.11g | 01:59 |
| DeadKennedy2880 | mneptok - abg | 01:59 |
| mneptok | tj83: should be fine | 01:59 |
| mneptok | DeadKennedy2880: you don;t want to use B if you can help it | 02:00 |
| Jack_Sparrow | tj83 http://linuxtechie.wordpress.com/2008/04/24/making-intel-wireless-3945abg-work-better-on-ubuntu-hardy/ look in backports | 02:00 |
| DeadKennedy2880 | tj83 - im thinkin you did more harm by messing with the settings | 02:00 |
| tj83 | mneptok, tried disable security, other routers. | 02:00 |
| tja | why is sbuild asking me for a password when executing: Checking for source dependency conflicts... ? | 02:00 |
| mneptok | tj83: are you able to browse access points? | 02:00 |
| eugene_ | Anyone hosting with Ubuntu in here? | 02:00 |
| Fryguy-- | eugene_: ask a specific question | 02:00 |
| tj83 | yes... they appear in list. | 02:00 |
| m_newton | tj83, is it a router problem? | 02:00 |
| chao2 | How do you get the thumbnails to show up larger when you browse via myspace? | 02:00 |
| DeadKennedy2880 | mneptok - can you explain a little why, just so i can learn something? | 02:01 |
| tj83 | mneptok, they just attempt to connect and nothing more. | 02:01 |
| mneptok | tj83: then the driver is loaded, operational, and network-manager is happy. | 02:01 |
| tj83 | m_newton, no.. multiple routers tried. | 02:01 |
| linkmaster03 | How can I find how much memory my graphics card has? | 02:01 |
| tj83 | mneptok, expect there is no connection | 02:01 |
| mneptok | tj83: try a live session to rule any of your tweaks being the source of the problem. | 02:01 |
| eugene_ | I been trying to set up a static ip address so I can use this machine as a server, but it won't let me change it to 192.168.1.11 | 02:01 |
| mneptok | DeadKennedy2880: the 3945 and 4965 from Intel have known performance issues under Linux when speaking 802.11b. | 02:02 |
| tj83 | mneptok, its working exactly as did out of box.. clean install twice. | 02:02 |
| Fryguy-- | eugene_: /etc/network/interfaces is what you want to edit, and there's a nice manpage on the subject (or just google for settings for it, it's very straightforward) | 02:02 |
| saylar | salut | 02:02 |
| chao2 | linkmaster03: type df -h for memory | 02:02 |
| DeadKennedy2880 | mneptok - oh ok, i wasent sure, thx | 02:02 |
| saylar | I am new in Ubuntu | 02:02 |
| eugene_ | okay, thank you | 02:02 |
| m_newton | saylar, what do u need | 02:02 |
| saylar | who speak french ? | 02:02 |
| mneptok | saylar: bon soiree. #ubuntu-fr pour francais, stp. | 02:03 |
| tja | anyone here with sbuild experience? it is asking me for a password | 02:03 |
| saylar | how i enter to french forum ? | 02:03 |

| mneptok | saylar: pas des marques quotation | 02:04 |
| Fryguy-- | Rhamphoryncus: no idea, i never use gui tools to configure anything anymore, so I have no idea what displayconfig-gtk looks like | 02:04 |

| wirelessdreamer | has anyone here got a tftp server working in ubuntu, i just tried tftpd and atftpd, but couldn't get either of them to start | 02:06 |
| Fryguy-- | wirelessdreamer: what is the error | 02:07 |
| wirelessdreamer | I don't get any, i run /etc/init.d/atftpd start and don't even get a message | 02:08 |
| === ka2zzzz is now known as ka2u | ||

| wirelessdreamer | and i can't find a config file to set the directory to serve out for it dpkg -L doesn't say a config file was installed | 02:08 |
| Dicrodium | does anyone here has an ATI video card (X1000 series) and want to share some experiences? | 02:08 |
| {Sampler} | hi everyone. I have been banging my head against the wall trying to get a mail server "system" working on our local server. would like to be simple and use fetchmail (6 mailboxes in the ourside world) and dovecot .. I think i also need procmail .. but cant seem to work how where its putting the inbound email. Any guideance would be great | 02:08 |
| === rand0m is now known as urand0m | ||

| Fryguy-- | sendmail/exim/etc | 02:09 |
| m_newton | Dicrodium, what do u need | 02:09 |
| Dicrodium | I'd like to know the current status of those ATI cards.. | 02:10 |
| Dicrodium | using the open source driver (and also with fglrx) | 02:10 |
| {Sampler} | Fryguy > smtp is postfix seems to be working well as outbound smtp | 02:10 |
| Dicrodium | stability.. suspend/resume.. those things | 02:10 |
| urand0m | Dicrodium, i have a toshiba satellite A100 laptop | 02:10 |
| urand0m | and with an ATI card | 02:10 |
| urand0m | it's fine | 02:10 |
| urand0m | just installed ubuntu 8.04 last night | 02:11 |
| urand0m | flawless | 02:11 |
| Fryguy-- | {Sampler}: have you tried /var/mail or /var/spool/mail? | 02:11 |
| m_newton | Dicrodium, sorry cant help. not my expertice | 02:11 |
| Fryguy-- | I've used ubuntu on an x1450 and it works fine | 02:11 |
| dolags32129 | nice managed to fix my problem!!!! YAY me | 02:11 |
| {Sampler} | fryguy > do you mind a direct chat window ? | 02:11 |
| Fryguy-- | also on an older 9800pro and x1650 | 02:11 |
| Fryguy-- | {Sampler}: yes i do | 02:12 |
| urand0m | Dicrodium, i had a notification icon in the taskbar indicating something about my ATI drivers not being found upon installing & startup.. but i pressed "enable" and it downloaded some drivers, made me reboot, and worked fine | 02:12 |
| urand0m | now i can run in 3d mode with visual effects | 02:12 |
| urand0m | and it barely takes any system resources... i can't believe this OS | 02:12 |
| wirelessdreamer | Fryguy: i run this and get no output, and atftpd isn't running after it atftpd --daemon /tftpboot/ | 02:12 |
| the_alamo | i have a 500gb external hard drive (actually 465gb); i formatted it as ext3 when i check to see how much space i have available it says that i have used 141gb of space but i only have 2 folders (one with 82gb and 32gb) which leaves about 35gb unaccounted for. where could they have gone? | 02:12 |
| Fryguy-- | wirelessdreamer: and no log file is created? | 02:12 |
| Dicrodium | Nice | 02:13 |
| urand0m | running xp, this laptop with a POS.. ran slowly, took forever even to open my computer and recognize my drive or removable devices. Ubuntu knows what's up.. I want to shake the hand of the creators | 02:13 |
| tinivole | I've installed ubuntu on a HP dv2750EA flawless (except needed to flash my BIOS to get cpufreq functionality) | 02:13 |
| urand0m | absolute brilliant work in this OS | 02:13 |
| Dicrodium | but what about the open source driver? does it already work on X1000 series on Hardy? | 02:13 |
| Fryguy-- | the_alamo: that's a lot of numbers you spewed out there. What is the output of df -h? | 02:13 |
| yoyoned | the_alamo: by default, the ext3 filesystem reserves 5% of the space for use by root only | 02:13 |

| delster | hey all. I searched ubuntu forums. Problem is that when download server 8.04, and create iso, it is not bootable. Desktop versions are fine. any suggestions? | 02:13 |
| urand0m | heh, i installed it today on a quite new Toshiba Satellite laptop running vista, which upon purchase, my brother was told could ONLY run vista due to proprietary drivers. | 02:13 |
| Fryguy-- | tunix34: picked wrong keyboard mapping? | 02:13 |
| urand0m | runs like a charm, and WAY better than while running vista | 02:13 |
| Fryguy-- | tunix34: change it in /etc/X11/xorg.conf | 02:14 |

| Fryguy-- | {Sampler}: procmail should do it | 02:14 |
| the_alamo | Fryguy--: unfortunately i am at work (and using Xp) so i can't check that --i will check when i get home! | 02:14 |

| arvind_khadri | sp219, are you sure it freezes | 02:14 |
| l3d | i dualbooted is there a way to go back to one os other then a full reinstall | 02:14 |
| Fryguy-- | {Sampler}: there's plenty of tutorials on the internet for setting up mail servers. what you have seems to be working from an ubuntu standpoint, so it's not really ontopic for this channel | 02:14 |
| {Sampler} | Fryguy .. great ok so i need to work out whats going on with procmail .. cool thanks for that .. | 02:14 |
| arvind_khadri | sp219, try leaving for sometime and then check.. | 02:15 |
| sp219 | arvind_khadri: It just sits there | 02:15 |
| tunix34 | Fryguy--what-do-you-mean | 02:15 |
| Fryguy-- | l3d: what do you want to do back to | 02:15 |
| sp219 | i left it about 10 minutes | 02:15 |
| sp219 | didn't move at all | 02:15 |
| Fryguy-- | tunix34: ? | 02:15 |
| tunix34 | [21:13] <Fryguy--> tunix34: change it in /etc/X11/xorg.conf | 02:15 |
| arvind_khadri | sp219, hmm let it be like that for some more time...how much ram you got... | 02:15 |
| caliburrito | good evening guys.. i need some help plz... when i plug in any USB device, it does not show to be mounted.. or it mught be but i dont see it anymore. could i get some info please? | 02:15 |
| djzn | hi... I put swap as my last partition, I hope I done well | 02:15 |
| the_alamo | yoyoned: i believe i compensated for that --i forget exactly what i did but someone suggested that i run a command from the terminal to set the reserve to 0. | 02:15 |
| Fryguy-- | tunix34: I mean edit that file and make the key mapping what you want | 02:15 |
| l3d | back to ubuntu | 02:15 |
| sp219 | arvind_khadri: Only 128 MB, that's why i used the alternate CD | 02:16 |
| Fryguy-- | caliburrito: after you plug it in, take a look in /mnt or /media and see if it shows up | 02:16 |
| arvind_khadri | sp219, hmm ... if it doesnt run even after 20 mins or so check the cd for md5sum | 02:16 |
| yoyoned | the_alamo: I think tune2fs is the comand to adjust that | 02:16 |
| Matthew12 | Hey, trivial question here. Is there a way to change the main menu button...or at least change the colors? | 02:16 |
| Fryguy-- | l3d: and so what is the behavior now? | 02:16 |
| l3d | i dual booted to opengeu | 02:16 |
| the_alamo | yoyoned: yes that was what i used. | 02:16 |
| sp219 | arvind_khadri: I'm not looking for a GUI environment anyway... would the ubuntu server install CD require less resources/RAM? | 02:17 |
| Fryguy-- | l3d: so is grub installed? | 02:17 |
| yoyoned | the_alamo: tune2fs -m 0 /dev/sdb1 | 02:17 |
| l3d | i guess | 02:17 |
| l3d | something is | 02:17 |
| arvind_khadri | sp219, yeah .... server wont have GUI so less space and RAM :) | 02:17 |
| Fryguy-- | l3d: "something" isn't helpful | 02:17 |
| Fryguy-- | l3d: if grub is installed, just edit /boot/grub/menu.lst or grub.conf (which one it is varies from OS to OS) and put ubuntu back on the list | 02:18 |
| yoyoned | the_alamo: how are you checking the filesize? try df -h | 02:18 |
| djzn | I did, 20GB (/), 137GB (/home) and 2GB Swap - did I do good? | 02:18 |
| the_alamo | yoyoned: i will have to run that when i log on to ubuntu --i am at work right now. i will check it out soon and get back to you | 02:18 |
| Fryguy-- | djzn: should be fine | 02:18 |
| sp219 | arvind_khadri: thanks :) I'll leave this one for 20 minutes or so and if it doesn't work, i'll move to the server version | 02:18 |
| Leefmc | Question: I want to install ubuntu on my "server", however i want to have sort of an odd interface to it. I would like to be able to log into it via SSH (Terminal) and do most of the work that way (queuing renders, etc), but i also would like to have a desktop already installed, just not run by default. So when, if i need to use it like a normal comp, i can just launch my desktop (i would do it remotely though). Is this possible to have | 02:18 |
| Leefmc | a config like this? | 02:18 |
| djzn | my swap never gets written, I never use suspend mode, so It was wise to be the last partition, right? | 02:18 |
| arvind_khadri | sp219, you are welcome :) | 02:18 |
| Leefmc | (Hope you all got that heh) | 02:19 |
| the_alamo | yoyoned: i have ubuntu installed on a computer at work but it doesn't have the internet so i will have to run back and forth (fun!) | 02:19 |
| Fryguy-- | Leefmc: sure, just uninstall any login managers like gdm and run x using startx | 02:19 |
| Fryguy-- | Leefmc: also take a look at doing X11 forwarding so you can run your X applications and forward the displays to other machines | 02:19 |
| WalloO | Leefmc, just use without X server, and use ssh -Y command to export x11 apps to your desktop | 02:19 |
| Fryguy-- | WalloO: it's ssh -X | 02:20 |
| sp219 | arvind_khadri: More specifically it's a 700 MHz processor with 128 MB RAM and 15 GB HDD. The requirements for the server version is only 300 MHz + 64 MB RAM | 02:20 |
| sp219 | :P | 02:20 |
| djzn | i was wondering if.... I can remove the "Applications" "Places" and "System" off the icons... in the taskbar, any ideas? | 02:20 |
| Leefmc | WalloO: Wtf? You can actually export the display of apps?! | 02:20 |
| Leefmc | WalloO: that sounds insane haha, i never would of imagined that | 02:20 |
| WalloO | Leefmc, doing that, all x11 apps launch from you ssh session will be displayed on your desktop | 02:20 |
| RoughriderUT | Can anyone help with a Macbook sound problem? | 02:20 |
| Fryguy-- | djzn: the widgets placed in the panel are fully configurable, just remove that widget and replace it with a menu widget that you want | 02:20 |
| Leefmc | WalloO: And computed on the remote server? | 02:20 |
| arvind_khadri | sp219, ya...server editions are real nice on low mem systems | 02:20 |
| WalloO | Fryguy--, -Y works too, and in most cases | 02:20 |
| Leefmc | WalloO: Dear god.. its magical haha | 02:20 |
| yoyoned | Leefmc: you can set it so gnome or whatever is installed but not ran at startup, but running gui apps via ssh is better if you can do it | 02:20 |
| Fryguy-- | Leefmc: yes | 02:20 |
| aguja | is it possible to access a computer in a lan knowing only the MAC? | 02:21 |
| WalloO | Leefmc, yes, it runs on the server, but it's displayed on your desktop. That's the magic of X11 | 02:21 |
| cbassett | tj83 see what was said on private chat | 02:21 |
| Fryguy-- | Leefmc: the machine you display it on can even be a windows or mac machine | 02:21 |
| yoyoned | Fryguy--: what program displays X on windows | 02:22 |
| Fryguy-- | yoyoned: xming | 02:22 |
| djzn | GTK should flicker when your Hz is not set properly in X ? | 02:22 |
| Leefmc | WalloO: Man.. crazy. Would it be possible to exit the X11 session without killing the app? For example, starting a render and just logging off the X11 session (without closing the renderer), then later relogin to it to check progress, etc? | 02:22 |
| Fryguy-- | Leefmc: take a look at xpra for that (not part of ubuntu repos, you'll have to compile and set it up yourself) | 02:22 |
| WalloO | Leefmc, in fact, the -Y automaticaly export the display with ssh tunneling. So it'S 100% safe. But be carefull, you have to trust your server, since with dfoing that, it can log your keyboard if it'S corrupted | 02:23 |
| eugene_ | fry i have a quick question. My computer ip address is 192.168.1.72, but when I ping it shows up as 127.0.0.1. What does that mean? | 02:23 |
| Fryguy-- | 127.0.0.1 is the loopback interface that every computer has | 02:23 |
| alienseer23 | I installed ubuntu using "netboot/boot.img.gz" on a flash drive, and now, at the initial boot of the newly installed system, grub is telling me "Error 21:selected disc does not exist", and if I try to plug in my flash drive, it tells me "Error 15: File not found". What the heck? I followed instructions carefully, how do I boot into the installed system now, or do I have to start iover somehow? | 02:23 |
| yoyoned | eugene_: every machine has the local address of 127.0.0.1 | 02:23 |
| djzn | is there a bug in the volume mixer in ubuntu? the two channels kinda break apart and one side won't come up | 02:23 |
| Leefmc | WalloO: Ok, so with all this said, is my best bet to still run my server without a desktop running? And if a desktop is needed, i can start it? Because most of the time, pure SSH would be enough for me | 02:24 |
| Shaba1 | its like you are talking to yourself | 02:24 |
| WalloO | Leefmc, I don't know if it's possible. I never tryed to do such thing. If you logout, it will stop your app. I don'T know if it's possible to logaout without living x11 app and reconnect to it latre | 02:24 |
| Leefmc | WalloO: Desktop would just use needed resources | 02:24 |
| arrrghhh | ok so i've tried to put ubuntu on a flash drive, livecd, nothing boots on this machine... it just dies while loading and eventually kicks to the initframs prompt... | 02:24 |
| Fryguy-- | Leefmc: yep | 02:24 |
| Shaba1 | its the ip address of you own computer for programs that are running on that computer | 02:24 |
| Shaba1 | from inside the computers mind so to speak | 02:24 |
| Leefmc | Fryguy--: So then, i want to install ubuntu normally, then uninstall login managers | 02:24 |
| WalloO | Leefmc, you don't need to run a desktop on the server. The desktop as to run on your client computer. | 02:25 |
| Fryguy-- | Leefmc: or otherwise disable them, yah | 02:25 |

| conley | Is there a .*rc file that gets run on graphical login? | 02:25 |
| Leefmc | Fryguy--: How much is hardly? Its only got 2gig atm (need to upgrade to 64bit so i can load it out with the max 16gigs), so even a few bits of ram is important | 02:25 |
| Fryguy-- | conley: you can configure a session that uses .xinitrc if you want | 02:26 |
| Fryguy-- | /etc/gdm/Sessions or something along those lines | 02:26 |
| conley | ok, thanks | 02:26 |

| Fryguy-- | Leefmc: the linux kernel knows how to manage memory, it will swap it out if it needs to | 02:26 |
| conley | Fryguy: Oh way, that's for graphical startup...I want login | 02:27 |
| slim_ | how to stop some package e.g like openoffice from updates ? | 02:27 |
| Fryguy-- | Leefmc: or just edit startup scripts so it doesn't run at startup, or just uninstall it. We've given you plenty of options, it's up to you to decide what you want to do | 02:27 |
| Fryguy-- | conley: depends on what shell you are using | 02:27 |
| yoyoned | Leefmc: /etc/init.d/gdm is the script that starts gdm | 02:27 |
| Leefmc | Fryguy--: Gotcha, thanks :) | 02:27 |
| Leefmc | yoyoned: k | 02:27 |
| Fryguy-- | conley: if you are using bash, ~/.bash_profile gets executed for login shells, and ~/.bashrc gets executed for any instance of bash | 02:27 |
| conley | Fryguy: graphical login | 02:27 |
| Fryguy-- | conley: For graphical login you want to use Session | 02:28 |
| conley | ok | 02:28 |
| Leefmc | Fryguy--: Also, what do i need to do to start an SSH server? Does the ubuntu wiki contain a page for this exact situation? (Note that i know very little about SSH) | 02:28 |

| ubottu | arvind_khadri, please see my private message | 02:29 |
| Fryguy-- | Leefmc: it does. all you need to do is apt-get install the server (i think the package is named openssh-server, i don't use ubuntu so i have no idea), and then you are done, unless you want to set up other parts of it | 02:29 |

| connor | reinstalling didn't help | 02:30 |
| Leefmc | yoyoned: What is forwarding? | 02:31 |
| igor_ | Thanks, I'll try it it out, just wanted to see if there were better out there that you guys know of | 02:31 |
| Leefmc | yoyoned: The X11 thing? | 02:31 |
| Fryguy-- | wirelessdreamer: no idea, i don't keep track of what scrolled past either. and i respond to quite a few people so i don't keep track | 02:31 |

| Starnestommy | connor: if rm works, it says nothing | 02:37 |

| alienseer23 | connor: https://help.ubuntu.com/8.04/installation-guide/i386/boot-usb-files.html | 02:37 |

| connor | oh | 02:38 |

| chowder | connor: well my USB ports work just fine on Ubuntu. but my bios doesn't give me the option to boot it. Is there a workaround or a hack that you know of? | 02:39 |
| Fryguy-- | bumpdt: no | 02:39 |
| alienseer23 | connor: I used an existing ubuntu box to perpare the usb drive | 02:39 |
| connor | chowder: that has nothing to do with it | 02:39 |
| connor | alienseer23: did you use a live cd? | 02:39 |
| Fryguy-- | chowder: if your hardware doesn't support booting from usb, it doesn't support booting from usb, end of story. Check to see if there is a bios update available that provides the functionality, otherwise you are stuck | 02:39 |

| v64 | I've got a Synaptics TouchPad that stops working on a laptop when it comes out of suspend. It seems to be because the device disappears from /dev on return from suspend, anyone familiar with this problem off the top of their head? I don't have access to logs or anything right now | 02:41 |
| Fryguy-- | delster: is your computer set to boot from CD? | 02:41 |
| connor | alienseer23: try redoing the install? | 02:41 |
| Fryguy-- | v64: known issue, plenty of google results about it | 02:41 |
| delster | yes. and i can boot desktop version, but not server. | 02:41 |
| Fryguy-- | delster: did you burn the ISO correctly? | 02:42 |
| alienseer23 | connor: I am trying to avoid that, I am installing to a system with solid state drives, and want as few re-installs as possable | 02:42 |
| v64 | yeah, I've seen the Google, it seems to be caused by a variety of issues, a lot of the problems involved the device not disappearing, but just being renamed | 02:42 |
| hittingpilot | does anyone know how to make a folder in console? | 02:42 |
| v64 | so those don't apply to me | 02:42 |
| Fryguy-- | hittingpilot: mkdir | 02:42 |
| delster | did it the same way as the others. | 02:42 |
| hittingpilot | thnx | 02:42 |
| v64 | specifically in my case, the device is no longer present on return from suspend | 02:42 |
| connor | alienseer23: my only guess was to use a live cd install, and how can you boot a usb device but not have a cd drive? | 02:42 |
| L_inf | hittingpilot: use mkdir "name of th directory" | 02:43 |
| Fryguy-- | delster: burn another disc then. it either works or it doesn't. If your computer is properly set up and boots from cds, but it doesn't boot from 1 cd, then logic follows that the cd is either bad or burned incorrectly | 02:43 |
| alienseer23 | connor: any computer with a usb connection, and no rom | 02:43 |
| delster | i've burned 3. the autorun.inf appears to be missing. | 02:43 |
| Fryguy-- | delster: autorun.inf has nothing to do with booting | 02:44 |
| Fryguy-- | autorun.inf is a windows-only thing | 02:44 |
| delster | ahh. | 02:44 |
| hittingpilot | Fryguy--: how do I destroy that folder? | 02:44 |
| Fryguy-- | hittingpilot: rmdir or rm -r | 02:44 |
| yoyoned | delster: put cd in drive and reboot | 02:45 |

A large number of users use the operating system every day and have wonderful experiences with it; you are certainly in the minority for having a bad experience with it. | 03:08 |

| cbasset1 | How do I get audio working with the internet(rhythmbox works but youtube don't | 03:09 |
| Fryguy-- | dolphin_noel: no, my answer has been to try another instant messenger called pidgin, or to provide me with more details about the problem. since you ignore me and then go on ranting about how you don't like the os, claim it's unstable, and run into other bugs with it, then my suggestion becomes try another os | 03:09 |
| dolphin_noel | Fryguy-- why amsn dont work in linux so?! | 03:09 |

| Brian | nickrud, yes, same happens on the disk check. I did run md5sums and the disk is ok | 03:21 |
| warriorforgod | messiah: What wireless card do you have? | 03:22 |
| Daisuke_Ido | urand0m: you have the cd, right? (or cds for the GOTY version) | 03:22 |
| Brian | Fryguy--, yep, i'm already running the latest bios | 03:22 |
| albuntu | or it has been messed up in the burning proccess | 03:22 |
| nickrud | Brian does any live cd boot? | 03:22 |
| messiah | atheros wireless ar5007eg | 03:22 |
| Brian | nickrud, i have only tried the 2 ubuntu disks so far, regular and alternate | 03:22 |
| daemon3 | Has anyone else had trouble with the "word count" field in OpenOffice.org since the upgrade? | 03:22 |
| daniel-br | <messiah> - try it ... | 03:22 |
| warriorforgod | Let me get the link I used. | 03:22 |
| nickrud | Brian scratch that, you got further than what I was thinking brain fart | 03:22 |
| urand0m | Daisuke_Ido, bah.. no i dont'.. i had a rip on my xp partition but i've formatted since. | 03:22 |
| urand0m | i thought there was like a full port to linux :S | 03:22 |
| afallenhope | how can I play real player media (.rm) files with totem? | 03:23 |
| cbasset1 | can anyone tell me how to setup evolution with bellsouth.net | 03:23 |
| messiah | in my network settings: it shows only wired connection and point to point connection | 03:23 |
| Daisuke_Ido | there's a linux installer, but you still need an original cd | 03:23 |
| albuntu | Brian try to burn the cd at the lower speed possible and in a good quality cd | 03:23 |
| daniel-br | <messiah> - may be your system don't have all libś installed | 03:23 |
| Fryguy-- | afallenhope: use mplayer instead. it will work better | 03:23 |
| urand0m | bah | 03:23 |
| napalmdest54 | Hello | 03:23 |
| delster | Fryguy-- Thanks for the help. The problem was the cd drive was bad (or possibly incompatible). Now I have 4 server 8.04 amd 64. Anyone need one? | 03:23 |
| warriorforgod | messiah: http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?p=4930325 | 03:23 |
| urand0m | k i guess i'm out of luck til i burn the cd off my backup | 03:23 |
| messiah | daniel-br: what do i do? | 03:23 |
| cbasset1 | messaih what brand of computer are you using | 03:23 |
| nickrud | cbasset1 use the same settings that bellsouth says to use with outlook. | 03:23 |
| urand0m | i'll be back for that eventually :P | 03:23 |
| messiah | cbasset1>: toshiba laptop | 03:23 |
| afallenhope | Fryguy--, okay... but how do I get the playback for .rm files/ | 03:23 |
| albuntu | delster i need one. lol | 03:23 |
| Fryguy-- | afallenhope: you just play them in mplayer | 03:24 |
| cbasset1 | ah my "brother" I got toshiba but realtek | 03:24 |
| Brian | albuntu, did that, i actually burned the normal disk twice | 03:24 |
| nickrud | afallenhope you'll need the w32codecs | 03:24 |
| napalmdest54 | toshiba makes good stuff | 03:24 |
| WalloO | afallenhope, install real player: http://www.real.com | 03:24 |
| Fryguy-- | afallenhope: you can try win32codecs if you want, but it's hit and miss for rm stuff | 03:24 |
| cbasset1 | where do i find the outlook settings | 03:24 |
| WalloO | afallenhope, but realplayer sucks | 03:24 |
| ventusignis | http://www.darkarts.co.za/ <-- "...The site you requested is owned by a client of SecureHost...." Is vultures eye/claw dead? | 03:24 |
| Brian | in the "expert mode" with boot debug=3, i can step through everything, it just reboots as soon as it steps into step 5 | 03:24 |
| delster | albuntu: find me on ubuntu forums and pm me if you do. I'll mail it to ya! | 03:25 |
| afallenhope | I have a few files that are .rm files ... maybe I should just convert them to avi? | 03:25 |
| dolphin_noel | Fryguy-- lol you got be kiding ... | 03:25 |
| dolphin_noel | ok whatever | 03:25 |
| Fryguy-- | dolphin_noel: have a nice day | 03:25 |
| daniel-br | <messiah> in my first time with wireless card my note can detect my router with it was using password | 03:26 |
| daniel-br | :P | 03:26 |
| messiah | daniel-br: i'll try http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?p=4930325 first, if this doesnt work, ill try your method. thanks guys, lets see what i can do haha. | 03:26 |
| napalmdest54 | I have a question, I just downloaded and installed Ubuntu on VMware so bare with me. What is the Ubuntu equivalent of the Window .exe file? | 03:26 |
| albuntu | Brian it happened to me too one time and it was very strange because to my notebook the cd was ok but to my friends notebook it doesnt move the selections in the menu. the last thing i can suggest you is to try to install from an external cdrom or try to change your cdrom or maybe better try that cd to another pc so you are sure to find where is the problem | 03:26 |
| messiah | I'll have more questions soon, because im a linux newbie hehe | 03:27 |
| ventusignis | ubuntu applications don't usually have extensions | 03:27 |
| delster | Fryguy-- keep up the good work. Thanks again! Bye! | 03:27 |
| dolphin_noel | Fryguy-- thank you very much you to :) | 03:27 |
| nickrud | napalmdest54 the main executable for a program is in /bin or /usr/bin , but there isn't any .exe equiv, really | 03:27 |
| ventusignis | there are exceptions, like python scripts which have .py | 03:27 |
| WalloO | napalmdest54, with unix and linux, there is no extension for executable. they can be no extension, .pl. .py, .sh, etc... they are juste executable | 03:27 |
| Fryguy-- | napalmdest54: applications are stored in /bin /usr/bin /sbin and /usr/sbin typically. executable files often don't have extensions | 03:27 |
| afallenhope | mplayer doesn't work for .rm files | 03:27 |
| Fryguy-- | afallenhope: it does | 03:28 |
| Brian | albuntu, ok yeah, i can try the cd on another machine. I'm fairly sure it's something about the hardware...someone else is having the identical problem with the mini atx version of the mb | 03:28 |
| afallenhope | Fryguy--, no it doesn't just tried it. | 03:28 |
| tripps | how do I change the project size in xsane for a multipage PDF project? it says 0.00 in x 8.62 in no matter what I set the page size to in the preview window | 03:28 |
| Brian | albuntu, i just don't give up as easily ;-) | 03:28 |
| messiah | guys, is everything done through the terminal? isnt there GUI ways of doing stuff? not seeing blindly. just would like to know if theres alternatives haha | 03:29 |
| napalmdest54 | Alright thank you all for the quick response. Is it possible to install Windows applications that use the .exe file extension on Ubuntu? | 03:29 |
| sinn2df | what program can i use to monitor network connections. used to use netwalk, but apt cant find the package. anything comprable to that available. | 03:29 |
| plik | afallenhope: works for me - do you have win32codecs installed? | 03:29 |
| albuntu | Brian lol. me too. its simple to change the board. the difficulty is to find the solution ;-) | 03:29 |
| nickrud | messiah for many things, yes. | 03:29 |
| vvd | how can i completely switch on/off a wlan (so it will/wont use energy)? :D | 03:29 |
| Fryguy-- | messiah: ubuntu has gui alternatives for a lot of stuff, it's usually easier/faster to just do things in terminal though | 03:29 |
| vvd | power | 03:29 |
| mindrape | messiah - CLI > GUI... learn it. love it. | 03:29 |
| messiah | so the terminal is equiv to cmd in windows? | 03:29 |
| afallenhope | E: Couldn't find package win32codecs | 03:29 |
| Fryguy-- | messiah: sort of | 03:29 |
| mindrape | messiah - its like the Windows cmd on steroids and viagra and meth and pcp. | 03:29 |
| WalloO | vvd, right vlivk on your network applet and disable wlan | 03:29 |
| * nickrud has converted completely to gui for sources.list though | 03:29 | |
| Fryguy-- | messiah: the terminal in linux is a lot more flexible and robust for doing things | 03:30 |
| Brian | albuntu, exactly. particularly annoying when i bought this stuff specifically to upgrade from my older ubuntu 7.10 vmware host | 03:30 |
| messiah | mindrape: haha excellent | 03:30 |
| WalloO | messiah, terminal is a way better than cmd... | 03:30 |
| napalmdest54 | Is it possible to install windows applications on Ubuntu? | 03:30 |
| mindrape | messiah - I'm not even joking. You can do insane things in the commandline. If you really learn it you can cut down system administration tasks into seconds whereas pointing and clicking around a GUI could take considerably longer. | 03:30 |
| WalloO | napalmdest54, yes, with wine software. | 03:31 |
| nickrud | napalmdest54 some can be run under wine , but otherwise no | 03:31 |
| mindrape | napalmdest54: with wine... www.winehq.org... check the applications database | 03:31 |
| Fryguy-- | napalmdest54: oftentimes it is, there's an application called wine that acts as a comptability layer between linux and windows, it works well usually | 03:31 |
| nickrud | napalmdest54 for example, itunes cannot run under wine | 03:31 |
| messiah | with wine, does that enable me to use .exe apps like photoshop cs3... windows live messenger.. and winamp? :s | 03:31 |
| nickrud | messiah not cs3 | 03:31 |
| napalmdest54 | I read on Wiki about Wine, that Microsoft will no longer supply updates for computers with Wine | 03:31 |
| mindrape | messiah - if the application is supported then yes. | 03:31 |
| ouellettesr | how do i make gdm the default manager? | 03:31 |
| mindrape | You can run Photoshop 7 pretty well... never tried CS. | 03:31 |
| WalloO | messiah, not photoshop CS3, but photoshop CS2 work. | 03:31 |
| albuntu | messiah cs2 works | 03:32 |
| messiah | hmm. ill guess ill just do vmware... and use xp when i want to use it true? haha i think i might b too used to cs3 now lol | 03:32 |
| napalmdest54 | vmware is awesome, I am using it now | 03:32 |
| mindrape | ouellettesr: http://www.google.com/search?hl=en&q=ubuntu+make+gdm+default+manager&btnG=Google+Search | 03:32 |
| Fryguy-- | i prefer virtualbox to vmware, but sure | 03:32 |
| messiah | does anybody know if cs3 will be supported in future? | 03:32 |
| nickrud | messiah that would work. I have a windows box at work, I run cs3 on it. But do all my real work in an ubuntu vm ;) | 03:33 |
| albuntu | messiah for me gimp is way better than photoshop | 03:33 |
| WalloO | messiah, wine is good. I play counterstrike using wine, and it works pretty well. A little bit slow, but it works... :) | 03:33 |
| mindrape | Gimp is pretty good but a VERY awkward transition from Photoshop in my mind. I personally prefer Photoshop. | 03:33 |
| messiah | wallo0 does css work? | 03:33 |
| messiah | <mindrape>: i think im just too used to the photoshop enviroment haha | 03:33 |
| albuntu | messiah i am playing 1.6 now | 03:33 |
| mindrape | indeed | 03:33 |
| mindrape | given enough time you can adapt to anything. | 03:34 |
| napalmdest54 | Photoshop is nice, but video editing in CS3 maxed out my ram. | 03:34 |
| nickrud | comparing wine, photoshop, and etc really belongs on -offtopic | 03:34 |
| albuntu | and it is working perfectly | 03:34 |
| gpled | system -> Administration -> Users and Groups the add button is grayed out | 03:34 |
| napalmdest54 | 3gb ram | 03:34 |
| sinn2df | napalmdest54: you can also look into using a progam called qemu. it is like vmware but free and lets you install and run windows from withing linux. will interface like remote desktop connection. is a little slow at times. but if you do a lot of stuff with windows and programs are not supported by wine it is a good route. wont have to reboot everytime you want to use windows | 03:34 |
| urand0m | is mostly everyone here using ubuntu or... ? | 03:34 |
| mindrape | gpled - you will need to run it with gksudo to get the Add button enabled. | 03:34 |
| ket[a] | no were all on gentoo | 03:34 |
| Fryguy-- | i don't use ubuntu | 03:34 |
| nickrud | windows 1.04 here | 03:34 |
| urand0m | actually that was a dumb question lol | 03:34 |
| urand0m | forgot i wasn't in #linux on efnet | 03:34 |
| albuntu | urand0m lol | 03:34 |
| gpled | wow, thats poor user interface design | 03:34 |
| Drk_Guy | lol urand0m | 03:35 |
| Drk_Guy | gpled: It's for security, it has nothing to do with UI design | 03:35 |
| mercutio22 | hello, I think I might be running into a problem here. I am trying to get a program called g15daemon to run on startup by following this http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=267118&highlight=g15daemon. I think I might have messed up with my sudoers file: http://www.pastebin.ca/1060139 | 03:35 |
| napalmdest54 | My main use for a virtual machine is to run Ubuntu now, but also to ensure that nothing from the virtual machine can jump to the host os (Vista). I want to use virtual machine/linux as a primary testing platform. | 03:35 |

| messiah | prometheus__: dir? where? so what do i write exactly. | 03:37 |
| nickrud | napalmdest54 just a heads up, this is an ubuntu support channel, not one for comparing experiences with different os's. #ubuntu-offtopic does that some | 03:37 |

| messiah | is there any forums i should sign up 2. hmmm | 03:52 |
| Fryguy-- | if you insist on not making a new partition, you can accomplish what you want using mount binding, but I would recommend just making the new partition, it's going to be a lot easier and cause you a lot less problems | 03:52 |

| AndrewBC | Hey folks. Anyone had issues with ubuntu disabling the wireless card when going idle? | 03:55 |
| jscinoz | Hi, is it possible to get sound output over pulseaudio from sun-java6-plugin? | 03:56 |
| unop | AndrewBC, yes, which is why i always have xchat open to keep the connection from becoming idle - quite unfortunately | 03:57 |
| albuntu | i am trying to assing a domain to my pc or to make it accessible remotely. is it opendns the best way to do this ? can anyone help me in this ? | 03:57 |
| Fryguy-- | albuntu: the easiest way to do it is to use a service like dyndnx | 03:57 |
| AndrewBC | unop, well, while that might work for you, I personally wouldn't find that a satisfactory solution, nor does it actually prevent it from happening for me anyhow | 03:58 |
| Fryguy-- | unless you are on a business level connection, you don't have control over your own DNS entry, so things like opendns aren't suitable for you | 03:58 |
| albuntu | Fryguy-- its just for testing. i installed lamp in my pc and just wanted to do some tests. no development or stuff like this. | 03:59 |
| Brian | albuntu, many of those services come with support for a client that can push any ip changes up | 03:59 |
| Fryguy-- | albuntu: so use dyndns | 03:59 |
| albuntu | Fryguy-- ok going to try it thanks. Brian thanks | 04:00 |
| Fryguy-- | albuntu: and keep in mind you are probably violating the TOS of your internet connection, just something to keep in mind :) | 04:00 |
| albuntu | Fryguy-- why would that happen ? :S | 04:01 |
| Fryguy-- | albuntu: ? | 04:01 |
| Fryguy-- | running a server is against TOS for most ISPs | 04:01 |
| messiah | <Fryguy-->: but we do it anyway haha | 04:01 |
| Fryguy-- | yes we do | 04:02 |
| Fryguy-- | hence why I have a dual raid5 array in my closet | 04:02 |
| Fryguy-- | that is torrenting hundreds of torrents right now | 04:02 |
| albuntu | Fryguy-- ah ok i understood that. i dont want to run a server just want to try it if it works or not. like 1 or 2 hours | 04:02 |
| messiah | ok guys. soon i have a question... i want to make my ubuntu look sexy! | 04:03 |
| Fryguy-- | messiah: gnome-look.org | 04:03 |

| Fryguy-- | mercutio22: you pasted the output of a vi editing session, i have no idea what you are doing | 04:06 |
| Fryguy-- | mercutio22: ask a question, if the question is "did I mess up my sudoers file" then show us the sudoers file and we can check. if you use visudo to edit it (like you are supposed to), then no you didn't mess up the sudoers file | 04:07 |
| |rt| | neil_d: you can do that with /etc/aliases | 04:07 |
| |rt| | neil_d: by default ubuntu sets this to the first account created during the install process | 04:08 |

| mercutio22 | Fryguy--: Yeah, me too. I was trying to add a line to that "sudoers" file by following that tutorial. I never used vi before. Once I started trying to edit the file nothing happened and I pressed Q totry and quit and that "recording" line appeared. Can you help? | 04:09 |
| Fryguy-- | mercutio22: I can help, what do you want to do | 04:09 |
| neil_d | |rt|: thanks, found it, wasn't having any joy with the exim4 config files. | 04:10 |
| mercutio22 | Fryguy--: Two things: I want to find out whether I borked the sudoers file and then I want to try and make that g15daemon program run on start up | 04:10 |
| Fryguy-- | mercutio22: if you still have the file open and you are trying to get out of it. just hit q again, and then hit :q! <enter> | 04:10 |
| Fryguy-- | mercutio22: if you use visudo to edit the sudoers file, then you can't mess it up | 04:10 |

| Jester45 | Fryguy--: i know what it is... its the same as running repeated comands in the temrinal but with the number of languages one of them should be close to bash | 04:31 |

| [T]an1 | how can i also clear the history of totem and mplayer? | 04:31 |

| pkirchner | lfporto /etc/services is always handy | 04:32 |
| Fryguy-- | __yy: right, it's purpose is as a shell script to facilitate command line usage, it's not a programming language | 04:32 |
| curt | Fryguy--, I didn't think you were going to get away with that bash comment... | 04:32 |
| Fryguy-- | [T]an1: yes, somewhere in your home directory, try .mplayer for mplayer, no idea where totem would be | 04:32 |

| Jester45 | may be in a gstreamer folder if there is not totem directory | 04:33 |
| Ajax_ | FRYGUY: That works, But I have the .tar on my desktop | 04:33 |
| Fryguy-- | Ajax_: so delete it | 04:33 |
| Fryguy-- | __yy: ok | 04:33 |
| Ajax_ | must I do it from terminal | 04:33 |
| Fryguy-- | Ajax_: no | 04:33 |
| Ajax_ | then back to my question | 04:33 |
| unop | Fryguy--, i guess the guys in #bash will disagree with you and might even prove you wrong - they consider bash to be turing complete- and i've also seen a guy write quite complex CGI scripts in it | 04:33 |
| unop | :) | 04:34 |
| Fryguy-- | Ajax_: back to what question | 04:34 |
| lfporto | somebody know how to use Stunnel? To make a secure IRC conection (encrypted)? Thanks a lot!!! | 04:34 |
| Ajax_ | FRYGUY: How do I install Python-2.5.2.tar.bz2. | 04:34 |
| Fryguy-- | Ajax_: python is in the ubuntu repositories, you install it just like you install any other piece of software | 04:34 |
| ricosecada | TV Recording using a tv card, what solutions provide good quality recording? | 04:34 |
| Fryguy-- | unop: wonderful | 04:34 |
| Jester45 | __yy: i dont use it interactive most of the time if i was going to give it varibles i would just run the commands my self | 04:34 |
| perlsyntax | anyone use gvim in here? | 04:34 |
| Fryguy-- | unop: i never said it wasn't turing complete, i was asking if it was or not, i wasn't sure | 04:35 |
| Fryguy-- | perlsyntax: i use vim, not gvim, care to ask a question? | 04:35 |
| Fryguy-- | perlsyntax: I know as much about vim as you are going to expect to find on irc, so just try (or join #vim and try there) | 04:35 |
| onisciente | Is there a problem to write/record files in an NTFS partition while in the ext2 one? I tried to resize my partitions and a error occured that disable the partition from windows desktop, it lost the letter and i when i tried to marge them or resize many cluster errors occur. Any ideia why it happened and how to fix? | 04:35 |
| unop | Fryguy--, well, i'll personally tend to say it is _almost_ turing complete -- many consider it to be | 04:35 |
| __yy | Jester45: what? | 04:35 |
| Ajax_ | FRYGUY: How do I install something If i have it on my desktop? ...make install? | 04:35 |
| Jester45 | __yy: the times i do make the scripts interactive is because others will be using them | 04:36 |
| Fryguy-- | Ajax_: just delete the file from your desktop and install python like you would install any other piece of software | 04:36 |
| Ajax_ | something less ambiguous | 04:36 |
| Jester45 | __yy: most of my bash scripts are not interactive | 04:36 |
| lfporto | By the way... How do I get the Suspend and Hibernat function do work on my xubuntu (using laptop)? | 04:36 |
| unop | Ajax_, python should be installed by default if you run gnome or KDE | 04:36 |
| === Elixer is now known as Litx | ||
| curt | If you-all have any suggestion on my borked sd card could you pm me .. it is past my bedtime (way way past) | 04:36 |
| Jester45 | onisciente: that happens when you dont stop the drive or shut down correctly | 04:36 |
| __yy | Jester45: This has nothing to do with your scripts... | 04:37 |
| Ajax_ | Fine, i relent. | 04:37 |
| __yy | Jester45: when you navigate around your computer using bash you are interactively using a programming language | 04:37 |
| Fryguy-- | Ajax_: common sense and basic intuition are necessary skills as a programmer, get used to it | 04:37 |
| onisciente | Jester45: hmm, how can i fix it? | 04:37 |
| Ajax_ | unop: You were right, Fryguy just gave me the runaround . | 04:37 |
| unop | Ajax_, easy | 04:38 |
| connor | How do I compile xmame? | 04:38 |
| Fryguy-- | how is "install it from the ubuntu repository, the package name is python" the runaround? lol | 04:38 |
| webcamwonder | Is it normal to have 2 GDM instances? | 04:38 |
| Fryguy-- | webcamwonder: no | 04:38 |
| unop | webcamwonder, not normally | 04:38 |
| Ajax_ | unop, I already knew about apt-get. but what if I had something not in the reps. I wanted to know how to install it form scratch | 04:38 |
| webcamwonder | Fryguy--, great that is why my pc is getting sluggish.. :( | 04:39 |
| Fryguy-- | Ajax_: 1. that wasn't what you asked 2. the standard way to install a linux program is ./configure ; make ; sudo make install; | 04:39 |
| unop | Ajax_, the precise procedure should be documented in the source packages README or INSTALL file | 04:39 |
| connor | How can I compile a program from a tar.bz2 archive? | 04:39 |
| esac | i am getting a 'broken packages' when trying to install ubuntu-xen-server .. it is looking for python-xen and xen-utlis but wont install them | 04:39 |

| perlsyntax_ | http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=846281 | 04:39 |
| webcamwonder | Anyone knows a workaround to preventing 2 GDM instacnes? | 04:39 |
| SeaPhor | guys please, Fryguy-- said 1 little thing trying to help some one else and everyone else has taken it and run with it and veered everthing away from the original problem/question, move on! Fryguy-- is trying to help ppl here and you are messing with him and getting others off-topic | 04:39 |
| Ajax_ | Thank you, Jack_Sparrow | 04:39 |
| perlsyntax_ | any ideas | 04:40 |
| unop | Ajax_, mostly it's as Fryguy-- just said -- but it could vary -- so it's best to always read the README or INSTALL file and use the instructions documented there | 04:40 |
| Fryguy-- | perlsyntax_: you need to install perl it looks like | 04:40 |
| perlsyntax_ | i got perl install | 04:40 |
| unop | Fryguy--, perl is always installed by default :) | 04:40 |
| Fryguy-- | perlsyntax_: then you'll have to read the documentation for the plugin you are using to point it to perl correctly, because it is looking in the wrong location for it | 04:40 |
| Fryguy-- | unop: i don't run ubuntu, i don't know these things | 04:41 |
| nickrud | perlsyntax_ the answer was given in the thread | 04:41 |
| perlsyntax_ | how do i change the path? | 04:41 |
| hardandy | Hi, I'm trying to update ubuntu but I'm getting this error: | 04:41 |
| hardandy | E: dpkg was interrupted, you must manually run 'dpkg --configure -a' to correct the problem. | 04:41 |
| hardandy | E: _cache->open() failed, please report. | 04:41 |
| nickrud | perlsyntax_ you would need to edit some of the source. What are you trying to install? | 04:41 |
| unop | Fryguy--, perl isn't critical to ubuntu -- it's critical to almost every distro that is out there | 04:41 |
| IndyGunFreak | hardandy: did you run the command? | 04:41 |
| webcamwonder | Ok, this is odd, I also have two instances of smbd and gdm :| | 04:41 |
| Fryguy-- | perlsyntax_: read the documentation for perl-support and edit the configuration for it accordginly | 04:41 |
| hardandy | yes | 04:41 |
| bazhang | hardandy, then run the command prefixed with sudo | 04:41 |

| unop | perlsyntax_, what does this command give you? perl -le 'print for @INC' | 04:41 |
| IndyGunFreak | hardandy: you ran it w/ sudo? | 04:42 |
| binskipy2u | i have 250 gigs, space isnt an issue and neither is system resources | 04:42 |

| binskipy2u | whats the apt-get command to get all of kde desktop | 04:42 |
| webcamwonder | Ok, this is odd, I also have two instances of smbd and gdm :|, is this a known bug? | 04:42 |
| binskipy2u | if you were using ubuntu proper | 04:42 |
| binskipy2u | and wanted kde | 04:42 |
| bazhang | binskipy2u, get the real deal from www.ubuntu.com then we can talk | 04:42 |
| andy_ | WHATWS UPPPP PEOPLE | 04:43 |
| binskipy2u | ok ill ask again | 04:43 |

| binskipy2u | whats the word | 04:43 |
| perlsyntax_ | how do i do that | 04:43 |
| esac | how do i fix broken packages ? | 04:43 |

| binskipy2u | thank you | 04:43 |
| unop | perlsyntax_, what does this command give you? perl -le 'print for @INC' | 04:43 |
| Fryguy-- | perlsyntax_: you edit it.. using a text editor... | 04:43 |
| nickrud | hardandy did you delete it? your machine won't boot without | 04:43 |
| perlsyntax_ | perl -l woork don't work witjh -e | 04:44 |
| hardandy | I didn-t delete it | 04:44 |
| hardandy | I have 2.6.24-17-generic and 2.6.24-18-generic but not 2.6.24-17-generic | 04:44 |
| Fryguy-- | unop: that's not the problem, the script by default seems to look in a non-ubuntu location for perl (bsd location it looks like) | 04:44 |
| unop | perlsyntax_, did you even try this?? -e and -l work fine together | 04:44 |
| nickrud | or a localy compiled version | 04:44 |
| lfporto | but with ubunto 8.04 it works... only with xubunt it doesn't.... very estrange.... | 04:44 |

| hardandy | but not 2.6.24-16-generic | 04:44 |

| nickrud | hardandy run sudo dpkg --configure -a , and put the complete output on paste.ubuntu.com | 04:45 |
| __yy | andy_: open a terminal and type "perl" ... what do you see? | 04:45 |
| Ajax_ | what's it like in Antelope Ca | 04:45 |
| Fryguy-- | andy_: perl is a programming language, it's not an "application" | 04:45 |
| unop | Fryguy--, well, that shouldn't be an issue, it is looking for somthing in all of the standard perl directories | 04:45 |
| __yy | Fryguy--: it's _both_ | 04:45 |
| nickrud | andy_ it's a terminal app, not a gui | 04:45 |

| hardandy | nickrud, ok I'll do it now | 04:46 |

| Bidget | hello everybody! I'm wondering how to get a game controller set up. I have an xbox 360 controller that I've connected via usb and I'm wanting to use it, is there some place I can go to configure it or do I need to download something? | 04:47 |
| Fryguy-- | G3N: go to bios and configure it to boot from cdrom | 04:48 |
| bazhang | Bidget, for zsnes or other | 04:48 |
| __yy | Fryguy--: I admit, I missed the context for that... I see what you were saying now. | 04:48 |
| Bidget | bazhang, zsnes | 04:48 |
| bazhang | Bidget, do it in the zsnes set up window | 04:48 |
| Bidget | bazhang, I'm just wondering if there's a control panel type place that I can go to connect it up whatever | 04:48 |
| G3N | i only see A/ C/:, C/: and like a AAC DVDC/: | 04:48 |
| perlsyntax_ | unop, what you think | 04:48 |
| Bidget | bazhang, that's all? ubuntu will detect the controller fine and everything? | 04:48 |
| bazhang | Bidget, zsnes does for mine; never tried with xbox controller though--->cheapo usb ps2 knockoff controller here | 04:49 |
| SeaPhor | G3N, look for "boot from USB device" | 04:49 |
| unop | perlsyntax_, looks like you have some directories in your @INC that don't exist - i'd like you to paste the contents of at /home/perlsyntax/.vim/perl-support/scripts/pmdesc3.pl | 04:49 |
| undadecor | bazhang: here is a forum thread about it: http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=588955 | 04:49 |
| bazhang | thanks undadecor | 04:49 |
| G3N | .. in boot menu i dont see anything like that | 04:49 |
| Bidget | bazhang, alright well we'll see what happens. Also, is zsnes in the repos? can I just do sudo apt-install zsnes or something | 04:49 |
| albuntu__ | Fryguy-- i tried to enable DMZ in my router. added my computer ip but it keeps getting me to the router and not to my localhost | 04:50 |

| Oo0o0o1 | ubuntu books ok from livecd, but I cannot load the installed version on the hdd | 04:51 |
| Fryguy-- | G3N: maybe your computer can't boot from external CD roms then, you'll have to look at your user manual to see what options you have for booting the machine. not really an ubuntu problem | 04:51 |
| Oo0o0o1 | i am using a bootable cd with grub | 04:51 |
| bazhang | Bidget, I sometimes get that when compiz is enabled | 04:51 |

| bazhang | np | 04:53 |
| SeaPhor | G3N, you could det bios to factory defaults, that may enable "last resort bootable" | 04:54 |
| bazhang | will02, is the other computer net-connected? | 04:54 |
| G3N | do wha? | 04:54 |
| G3N | u mean reset factory? | 04:54 |
| Jack_Sparrow | hardandy Please post a description of the problem when you post a link | 04:54 |
| will02 | bazhang, both computers would be net connected | 04:54 |
| nickrud | Jack_Sparrow I asked him for it | 04:54 |
| will02 | the laptop also connects to the desktop via a vpn as well | 04:54 |
| SeaPhor | G3N, look for "restore defaults" in bios, worth a shot | 04:55 |
| Jack_Sparrow | nickrud np.. scrolled back and didnt see that | 04:55 |

| bazhang | will02, not sure if that is possible; surely the easier method is just to use an rss reader for both, of which there are many in ubuntu (not to mention firefox) | 04:55 |

| nickrud | hardandy you missed my saying I did a typo ;) dpkg -l '*linux-image*' | grep ^ii | 04:58 |
| Bidget | can anyone tell me how I can tell firefox where to store my downloads? I downloaded something and I have no idea where it put the file... usually it just goes onto the desktop.... | 04:58 |
| bazhang | hannahmontana, that is offtopic here. | 04:58 |
| === eitreach_test_te is now known as eitreach_Zetc | ||
| hardandy | yeah, I did the last one | 04:58 |
| bazhang | eitreach_Zetc, please choose a nick and stick with it | 04:58 |
| hardandy | dpkg -l '*linux-image*' | grep ^ii | 04:58 |

| perlsyntax_ | unop? | 04:59 |
| Ajax_ | nmap -v -O -sS 127.0.0.1 | 04:59 |
| nickrud | hardandy you must have some kernel installed, you show /lib/modules something. do dpkg -l '*linux-image*' , and pastebin the results | 04:59 |
| undadecor | bidget: make sure you click "save" instead of "open" when downloading a file | 04:59 |
| bazhang | Bidget, to your desktop? not the apt-get install | 04:59 |
| unop | perlsyntax_, hold on, i'm looking at this | 04:59 |
| hardandy | ok | 04:59 |
| central | hello, i still have a internal mic problem with a Intel ICH8 Family (Realtek 268 ) - Acer Aspire 4720 | 04:59 |
| Bidget | well I went to zsnes's website and just downloaded the bz2 file, and it's supposed to save to the desktop but it isn't there | 04:59 |
| hydrogen | so | 04:59 |
| hydrogen | I just ran powernowd -dvvv | 04:59 |
| hydrogen | and ended upg etting this.. | 04:59 |
| perlsyntax_ | sorry man | 04:59 |
| hydrogen | ^CSetting speed to 2000000 \n Couldn't write to scaling_setspeed \n: Invalid argument | 04:59 |
| undadecor | central: care to give a description of the problem? | 05:00 |
| Bidget | and here's the weird part, if I use the command line and navigate to my Desktop folder, it tells me the file is there, but I can't see it on my desktop | 05:00 |
| bazhang | Bidget, better to enable repo and install from there | 05:00 |
| central | can not record | 05:00 |
| hydrogen | google doesn';t appear to have much that looks like that | 05:00 |
| bullgard4 | What is the purpose or use of the epiphany-browser plugin 'console'? | 05:00 |
| hydrogen | does anyone else happen to know why powernowd hates me? :) | 05:00 |
| Bidget | bazhang, it still tells me package zsnes has no installation candidate | 05:00 |
| central | i google it and many have the same problem | 05:00 |

| hardandy | nickrud, I forgot to mention I'm accessing the server remotely. I'm using nx client. I gonna do what you said above | 05:03 |
| unop | perlsyntax_, ok, how exactly? that's important | 05:04 |
| bazhang | Bidget, you have mixed gutsy-backports with hardy repos | 05:04 |
| SeaPhor | sparky_, have you looked here? | 05:04 |
| Bidget | bazhang, that doesn't sound good... | 05:04 |
| Jack_Sparrow | hydrogen Did you see the link I brought up on scaling | 05:04 |
| nickrud | hardandy not sure if that will work, if not see aphroneo.net for a usable hardy sources for the machine | 05:04 |
| perlsyntax_ | yes | 05:04 |
| tyler_ | im runing ubuntu on a 8 gb partion on my hp compact nc6000 laptop | 05:04 |
| hydrogen | Jack_Sparrow: the applet has nothing to do with it | 05:04 |
| sparky_ | SeaPhor, I have, but it's hard to keep up with all of the text because of so many people | 05:04 |
| hydrogen | the issue is that for some reason scaling_max_freq is 1000000 | 05:04 |
| tyler_ | should i get a biger partion | 05:04 |
| hydrogen | when it should be 2000000 | 05:04 |
| SeaPhor | sparky_, have you looked here? https://help.ubuntu.com/community/FixVideoResolutionHowto | 05:04 |
| bazhang | Bidget, gksudo gedit that file and change gutsy to hardy; save then refresh | 05:04 |
| Jack_Sparrow | hydrogen using synaptic search for scaling, there are other options | 05:05 |
| Bidget | bazhang, should I do that while the update manager is updating | 05:05 |
| hydrogen | Jack_Sparrow: no, you clearly do not understand | 05:05 |
| bazhang | Bidget, no | 05:05 |
| hydrogen | the program is not the issue | 05:05 |
| hydrogen | it's an issue in sysfs | 05:05 |
| hydrogen | or in the driver | 05:05 |
| unop | perlsyntax_, i've used perl-support for a long time now and have never seen this problem -- are you sure you have the latest version of perl-support? version 3.8.1 | 05:05 |
| Bidget | bazhang, also what exactly should I be doing, every time I see gutsy I just change it to hardy? | 05:05 |
| hydrogen | or a lower level configuration | 05:05 |
| SeaPhor | sparky_, my bad, link didnt paste 1st time and i hit enter | 05:05 |
| bazhang | tyler_, that is likely too small for all the wine games unless they are on your windows partition | 05:05 |
| hydrogen | not in the applet | 05:05 |

| hardandy | nickrud, I'm trying to edit my menu and when I tick software sources for it being showed, it is automatically unchecked again. This is very strange because I'm the admin. is there any command to run Software sources from terminal | 05:18 |
| unop | mattr_, have you considered reinstalling totem and all your codecs ? | 05:18 |
| SeaPhor | sparky_, ahh, ok, lets look at system>admin...>hardware... | 05:18 |
| hyougin | I'm using an ATI eah 3870, if that matters | 05:18 |
| nickrud | hardandy you can do sudo gedit /etc/apt/sources.list and edit it by hand | 05:18 |
| the_alamo | yoyoned: your suggestions for my external drive worked... thanks for the help | 05:18 |
| bazhang | hardandy, sudo nano /etc/apt/sources.list and edit from there | 05:19 |
| unop | albuntu__, sudo killall ddclient; sudo rm /var/run/ddclient.pid | 05:19 |
| hardandy | ok thanks | 05:19 |
| albuntu__ | unop ok thanks | 05:19 |
| SeaPhor | does it say that the restricted drivers are "enabled" and a check mark in the box? | 05:19 |

| sparky_ | For whatever reason it's not in use o.O | 05:19 |
| tyler_ | that would be nice | 05:19 |
| SeaPhor | sparky_, does it say that the restricted drivers are "enabled" and a check mark in the box? | 05:20 |
| sparky_ | Enabling now | 05:20 |
| SeaPhor | no | 05:20 |
| hardandy | nickrud, how can I check /etc/apt/sources.list on aphroneo.net ? | 05:20 |
| mattr_ | unop: I've been reinstalling everything I can think of in Synaptic, but there's been no difference. I'm not sure I've tried totem specifically... I'll do that now. | 05:20 |
| SeaPhor | sparky_, no | 05:20 |
| nickrud | hardandy just go there in your browser, and click on the link | 05:20 |
| unop | thorny_sun, you could but you don't really want to do that -- instead you want to try and backport that package from intrepid to hardy | 05:20 |
| SeaPhor | sparky_, no just want you to "look" | 05:21 |

| SeaPhor | sparky_, on the invite i sent you | 05:24 |
| rand0m | where can i find the alternate cd? | 05:24 |
| bazhang | !alternate | 05:25 |
| ubottu | The Alternate CD is a classical text-mode install CD. It supports a wider range of hardware than the !LiveCD, and can also be used as an upgrade CD. Look for the alternate checkbox on the Ubuntu download page - See also !minimal - Torrent at http://releases.ubuntu.com/8.04/ubuntu-8.04-alternate-i386.iso.torrent | 05:25 |

| rand0m | so i have to install it all with command line & what not ? | 05:25 |
| bazhang | tyler_, which distro | 05:25 |

| undadecor | tyler_: can you reword that so we can understand? | 05:27 |
| tyler_ | srry my key bored skips | 05:28 |
| bazhang | tyler_, lets take this to #ubuntu-offtopic | 05:28 |
| undadecor | tyler_: i assume you mean no windowing system, correct? | 05:28 |
| tyler_ | yes | 05:28 |
| bazhang | undadecor, you are welcome to join us there too | 05:28 |
| unop | thorny_sun, backporting is done by adding in the intrepid deb-src repsositories into your /etc/apt/sources.list (note not the deb repos, just the deb-src) .. then you do. sudo aptitude update; apt-get source-b ruby; dpkg -i ruby*.deb | 05:28 |
| undadecor | tyler_: you can install the server install or you can uninstall your windowing system and desktop environment from your current installation | 05:29 |
| undadecor | bazhang: thanks | 05:29 |
| Kelen | How can i grep out 2 word in different line at once? Please! | 05:29 |
| unop | Kelen, this grep will find either foo or bar on one line or on different lines -- it works both ways | 05:29 |

| dfgas | other than that. when they get to it | 05:48 |
| Shane__ | nickrud ok thanks nick | 05:48 |
| aaron | What is emerald? | 05:48 |
| central | i did fix my aspire 4720 sound card Intel alc268 mic disfunctional with https://answers.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+question/20970 it was a good help and its working like a charm thanks | 05:48 |
| nickrud | unop maybe | 05:48 |
| __yy | Kelen: or do you want to grep for something like "this is what I am grepping for"? ... in which case you can use quotes | 05:48 |
| cypherdelic | dfgas ok thanks, somebady could have said, no package build yet or so before minutes | 05:48 |
| nickrud | Kelen grep -e pattern -e pattern <target> | 05:48 |
| werwolf_ | pulseaudio doesn't see the clients snd-card too | 05:49 |
| unop | nickrud, err, that sounds quite sed-ish -- not grep :p | 05:49 |
| dfgas | cypherdelic, repeating your question usually means people either aren't going to answer or just take their time | 05:49 |
| messiah | BusyBox v1.1.3 (debian 1:1.1.3-5ubuntu12) built-in shell (ASH) enter 'help' for a list of build-in commands.... how do i fix it? | 05:49 |
| nickrud | unop it works ;) | 05:49 |
| Kelen | __yy: i just wanna grep out 2 words in different line.. | 05:49 |
| cypherdelic | people can only read whats on the screen | 05:49 |
| Fryguy-- | Kelen: egrep "word1|word2" | 05:49 |
| __yy | Kelen: so you want to grep for any line containing "A" or "B"? | 05:49 |
| fooks | is it safe to use the package "nvidia-glx-new-envy"? | 05:50 |
| unop | __yy, i think she means -- any line containing A or B not A and B | 05:50 |
| fooks | the word envy brings back memories of fubar'ing my system back a year or two | 05:50 |
| fooks | from that cursed program | 05:50 |
| __yy | oh that's brutal... :\ | 05:50 |
| messiah | anybody answer my question? | 05:50 |
| cypherdelic | dfgas: no one gets back from afk and scans the chatlog of the last hour | 05:50 |
| nickrud | !envyng | fooks | 05:50 |
| ubottu | fooks: envyng is an updated version of the *UNSUPPORTED* envy package. It is now part of the ubuntu universe repository (envyng-gtk OR envyng-qt) and has community support. As an early version, its results may vary but this should be used over the unsupported envy package. | 05:50 |
| adante | hi, how can i uninstall grub or otherwise render a drive unbootable? | 05:51 |
| unop | __yy, coz i did suggest grep "foo|bar" .. an hour ago, but he/she didn't have any of it | 05:51 |
| cypherdelic | dfgas: nobody i kow of ;) | 05:51 |
| Kelen | __yy: no, for example: line 1 " xxxxxxxxxxxsomexxxxxx" and line 2 "xxxxxxxxhixxxxxx" so i wanna grep out the 2 words | 05:51 |
| === gadis is now known as co_a3 | ||
| fooks | nickrud, and the other option is just going to the nvidia website and compiling the newest driver yourself? | 05:51 |
| Fryguy-- | Kelen: like i said, egrep "word1|word2" | 05:51 |
| nickrud | fooks yep. | 05:51 |
| dyf | how do i install 32-bit libraries on a 64-bit machine? | 05:51 |
| messiah | BusyBox v1.1.3 (debian 1:1.1.3-5ubuntu12) built-in shell (ASH) enter 'help' for a list of build-in commands? fryguy help! | 05:51 |
| fooks | nickrud, the latter is what i think i shall do | 05:52 |
| elyisum | just download the 32 bit iso and install it as you normally would | 05:52 |
| nickrud | fooks I've seen people have good luck with envyng-gtk, and the developer is quick to respond to bug reports | 05:52 |
| Kelen | Fryguy--: your way just like egrep 'word1 |word2" | 05:52 |
| unop | Kelen, echo -e "xxxxfooxxxxxxx\nxxxxxxxxbarxxxxxxxx" | grep -o -E "(bar|foo)" | 05:52 |
| Fryguy-- | Kelen: that's exactly what i just said | 05:52 |
| dqb | can somone hlep me with accessing data on a ntfs drive in 6.06? | 05:52 |
| Shane__ | ------ what file system should i set the partition to before installing ubuntu? | 05:52 |
| cypherdelic | Kelen: cat filename | grep some && cat filename | grep hi | 05:52 |
| greenfishx3 | !iso | 05:52 |
| ubottu | To mount an ISO disc image, type « sudo mount -o loop <ISO-filename> <mountpoint> » - There is a list of useful cd image conversion tools at http://wiki.linuxquestions.org/wiki/CD_Image_Conversion - Always verify the ISO using !MD5 before !burning. | 05:52 |
| unop | cypherdelic, useless use of cat :) just do grep "phrase" filename | 05:53 |
| amenado | dqb i dont believe ntfs-3g is available on 6.06 | 05:53 |
| Metatron | Shane__: ubuntu uses ext3 normaly but can use some others too | 05:53 |
| Shane__ | metatron thanks | 05:53 |
| cypherdelic | unop whatevver it works | 05:53 |
| unop | cypherdelic, funny way of getting it to work - i have to admit | 05:54 |
| nickrud | unix, the toolbox of geeks | 05:54 |
| Kelen | cypherdelic: i know this way, but i know have another easier.. | 05:54 |
| unop | Kelen, is this what you are after? echo -e "xxxxfooxxxxxxx\nxxxxxxxxbarxxxxxxxx" | grep -o -E "(bar|foo)" | 05:54 |
| Fryguy-- | Kelen: you've already been given the solution, what is the problem | 05:54 |
| dqb | is there a driver I can load that will allow me to transfer data from a ntfs drive to a fat 32? | 05:54 |
| cypherdelic | unop hehe so: grep filename some && grep filename hi? | 05:54 |
| Fryguy-- | dqb: just create a fat32 partition and then copy the data over to it | 05:55 |
| Metatron | where can i add some startup commands for all users, needs root privleges, before x start for some commands, after x starts for all users if possible | 05:55 |
| unop | cypherdelic, wrong order :) | 05:55 |
| ricosecada | I am using transcode to record from my tv card in mjpeg format, but the files becomes huge. How do I compress better? | 05:55 |
| cypherdelic | Kelen do you want the HOLE line displayed or just how often the word is found? | 05:55 |
| unop | cypherdelic, grep foo filename && grep bar filename -- better written as grep "foo|bar" filename | 05:55 |
| messiah | guys... i rebooted my computer after i was installing mac4lin... and i got this error message on reboot >> BusyBox v1.1.3 (debian 1:1.1.3-5ubuntu12) built-in shell (ASH) enter 'help' for a list of build-in commands? | 05:55 |
| unop | Metatron, use the /etc/rc.local file | 05:56 |
| dqb | can gparted reduce the size of a ntfs partition if it cannot access the drive(someting about permissions)? | 05:56 |
| Fryguy-- | dqb: need to run gparted as root | 05:56 |
| Kelen | OK, everyone for me favor, for example, info from operation "aptitude show ssh", i wanna grep out "State" and "Version" | 05:56 |
| Metatron | unop ok ill into that, does that load before or after X, and does it have root permisions | 05:56 |
| Jester45 | dqb: gksu gparted | 05:56 |
| === MTeck is now known as MTecknology | ||
| unop | Metatron, it is a script -- so all you need to do is add your command at the end of the file -- before the exit statement at the end | 05:57 |
| eric__ | Is there an option do update ubuntu with delta packages? Sort of like works with Fedora, that downloads only the changes in a package, and not the entire thing all over again? | 05:57 |
| Fryguy-- | Kelen: aptitude show ssh | egrep "State|Version" | 05:57 |
| cypherdelic | Kelen: so you dont want to grep the Word Versiion but THE versionnumber? | 05:57 |
| Fryguy-- | Kelen: how many times are you going to ask this question and get it answered, this is pretty annoying at this point | 05:57 |
| unop | Metatron, it runs the same time as the DM is loading -- it is run by init, therefore is run as root | 05:57 |

| fooks | how can i get ubuntu to detect my new video card? | 05:57 |
| coil | !!grub | 05:57 |
| fooks | i still thinks i have the older crappy one | 05:57 |
| cypherdelic | i assume grep displays always the hole line doesnt it | 05:57 |
| Fryguy-- | fooks: it does automatically | 05:58 |
| nickrud | cypherdelic unless you use the -o or -c option | 05:58 |
| dqb | ow do I login as root on the live cd? | 05:58 |
| messiah | ok | 05:58 |
| nickrud | cypherdelic or some other esoteric option. | 05:58 |
| cypherdelic | nickrod: ok cool thats good for scripting ;) | 05:58 |
| nickrud | dqb sudo -i | 05:58 |
| fooks | Fryguy--, nuh uh, the sh .run file i just got from the nvidia website says the new fancy shmancy drivers won't run on the "xxx old card i have", which means ubuntu thinks its running my old one | 05:58 |
| Fryguy-- | Kelen: if you want just the information without the label, try: aptitude show ssh | egrep "State|Version" | awk '{print $2}' | 05:58 |
| unop | Kelen, aptitude show ssh | grep -iEo "state(.*)|version(.*)" | 05:59 |
| Fryguy-- | fooks: why are you running a file from nvidias website? | 05:59 |
| Fryguy-- | the drivers are in ubuntus repository | 05:59 |
| Kelen | Fryguy--: got it,, thank you, i was wrong with format " A | B" | 05:59 |
| fooks | Fryguy--, not the newest ones | 05:59 |
| Jester45 | fooks: run lspci and see if the new card is in there | 05:59 |
| cypherdelic | Fryguy-- nice one | 05:59 |
| Fryguy-- | fooks: probably more than half of the people in this channel have an nvidia card running under ubuntu, so you'll have to be a bit more specific about the problem you are having | 05:59 |
| Varak_ | edonkey maybe | 06:00 |
| Fryguy-- | Kelen: try paying attention next time | 06:00 |
| fooks | Fryguy--, my card won't render 800x600 resolution | 06:00 |
| fooks | its a geforce 7300 gt | 06:00 |
| fooks | i suspect its a driver issue | 06:00 |
| Fryguy-- | fooks: it's not | 06:00 |
| Kelen | Fryguy--: of course,, thanks | 06:00 |
| Jester45 | wont render 800x600 thats quite sad | 06:00 |
| fooks | Fryguy--, perhaps...but my driver is also outdated! so im led to believe this given my limited knowledge | 06:00 |
| Fryguy-- | fooks: it's not the driver. Ubuntu doesn't stay cutting edge with most pieces of software | 06:01 |
| fooks | the default driver implimented from the repo is somewhat old | 06:01 |
| fooks | Fryguy--, what would you suggest? given my resolution woes? | 06:01 |
| fooks | its keep me from playing doom 3 | 06:01 |
| Fryguy-- | fooks: a properly configured xorg file | 06:01 |
| Jester45 | fooks: does lspci contain your new card ? also what driver are you using vesa / nv / wrong nvidia one? | 06:01 |
| fooks | Fryguy--, true | 06:02 |
| Fryguy-- | quite a few people (including myself), have played various games at several resolutions other than our native desktop resolution | 06:02 |
| fooks | Jester45, yeah, it does, it actually shows both | 06:02 |
| kim_ | hi | 06:02 |
| Jester45 | fooks: maybe thats the problem, is your old card in the computer still? | 06:02 |
| kim_ | what is command of suspend in ubuntu 8.04? | 06:02 |
| fooks | Jester45, its using a new nvidia driver | 06:02 |
| ragsagar | how to install ubuntu base system from ubuntu cd? | 06:02 |
| fooks | Jester45, hahaha | 06:03 |
| kim_ | anyone know this? | 06:03 |
| albuntu__ | Fryguy-- i installed and configured ddclient. i forwarded port 80 in my router but it still keeps taking me to my router and not to my localhost folder | 06:03 |
| fooks | Jester45, perhaps! | 06:03 |
| fooks | X( | 06:03 |
| Fryguy-- | albuntu__: then you aren't forwarding the port | 06:03 |
| Jester45 | fooks: hahaha what? you can have more than 1 video card installed | 06:03 |
| Fryguy-- | albuntu__: does your router need to be rebooted when port forwarding changes have been made to it | 06:03 |
| kim_ | Is nobody know what is command of suspend in terminal? | 06:03 |
| fooks | Jester45, i suspect this as well | 06:04 |
| Jester45 | !repeat | kim | 06:04 |
| ubottu | kim: Don't feel ignored and repeat your question quickly; if nobody knows your answer, nobody will answer you. You can search https://help.ubuntu.com or http://wiki.ubuntu.com while you wait. Also see !patience | 06:04 |
| unop | albuntu__, you might also need to disable the router from listening on port 80 | 06:04 |
| kim_ | I want suspend computer by command in terminal | 06:04 |
| albuntu__ | Fryguy-- what an idiot. i forgot to reboot. lol. thank you just going to try it now | 06:04 |
| kim_ | but i don't have any idea | 06:04 |

| albuntu__ | unop what do you mean to disable ? and how can i do it ? | 06:04 |
| kim_ | ok, thanks ubottu | 06:05 |
| Fryguy-- | albuntu__: don't listen to him | 06:05 |
| fooks | aside from taking out the old card (which yes, i did leave in) ill come back if issues persist? | 06:05 |
| thorny_sun | unop: i thought it still might've worked, but the version hasn't changed | 06:05 |
| gus_gus386 | does anyone know how to view my ntfs harddrives with ubuntu? | 06:05 |
| unop | albuntu__, differs from router to router -- most models allow you to disable listening for admin connections on the WAN side or simply to disable listening on port 80 | 06:05 |
| gus_gus386 | im very new | 06:05 |
| Jester45 | fooks: ive seem someone with 3 video cards in 2 pci and 1 agp and had the monitor in the wrong card, they though all 3 would work together (i dont think this is your problem) but you mught of forgot to remove the old if its in a diffrent slot | 06:05 |
| unop | Fryguy--, what do you mean "don't listen to him" >? | 06:05 |
| Fryguy-- | gus_gus386: works out of the box in ubuntu, do you have a specific problem? | 06:06 |
| unop | thorny_sun, i'm looking now | 06:06 |
| Jester45 | !ntfs > gus_gus386 | 06:06 |
| ubottu | gus_gus386, please see my private message | 06:06 |
| Fryguy-- | unop: stopping the router from listening on port 80 doesn't make any sense. routers dont' listen on ports, they forward packets | 06:06 |
| miles_ | can I please have some help with a bittorrent issue | 06:06 |
| miles_ | I am very new to ubuntu | 06:06 |
| Fryguy-- | miles_: ask a question, don't ask to ask | 06:06 |
| fooks | Jester45, brb,, going to turn off the comp and take the old card out | 06:06 |
| ragsagar | how to install just the ubuntu base system? | 06:06 |
| miles_ | I just want to use bit torrent, how do you open it and make it work | 06:06 |
| miles_ | sorry fr guy | 06:07 |
| Fryguy-- | ragsagar: probably the easiest way is to use the server install cd | 06:07 |
| scifiguy951 | is there a program for calling telephones?? | 06:07 |
| miles_ | okay...... i have a client on my computer | 06:07 |
| Fryguy-- | scifiguy951: skype might do what you need | 06:07 |
| Jester45 | ragsagar: when you start the alt installer press f4 (i think) and choose command-line only | 06:07 |
| unop | Fryguy--, in the classical definition of a router - that is true -- but how do you expect to be able to administer a router if it isn't going to have a ssh or http connection open - think about it | 06:07 |
| Fryguy-- | miles_: so you run the program and use it, just like any other program | 06:07 |
| scifiguy951 | i can call land lines and such with that?? | 06:07 |
| miles_ | it is called bit torrent download client | 06:07 |
| Fryguy-- | unop: yes, it listens on the local interface, not on the wan interface | 06:08 |
| unop | thorny_sun, looks like you will have to backport ruby-elisp too | 06:08 |
| miles_ | but when i open it, it aks for an open bittorrent media file or something | 06:08 |
| MTecknology | I'm using ICQ with pidgin but when I try to connect i get an error about my version being out of date. | 06:08 |
| miles_ | I dont know what to fo | 06:08 |
| Jester45 | miles go ahead and /msg me im good with torrents | 06:08 |
| miles_ | *do | 06:08 |
| MTecknology | I'm getting connection refused with yahoo as well | 06:08 |
| unop | Fryguy--, that isn;t always true -- some routers accept connections on the WAN interface - mine does | 06:08 |
| Fryguy-- | unop: not by default, it's a specific setting that you have to enable on any consumer level router made in the past 10 years or so | 06:09 |
| pen | anyone know why setting up VX rev the tilt button is the opposite of what it suppose to work? | 06:09 |
| Jester45 | Fryguy--: not to gang up on you but my has the option do to that (i keep it disabled) | 06:09 |
| Fryguy-- | unop: if you can find a router that has it enabled by default i would be surprised | 06:09 |
| Fryguy-- | Jester45: sure, and it's disabled by default on every router | 06:09 |

| msshams | ubuntu detects wlan. i create a dhcp connection via ubuntu network manager. | 06:17 |
| msshams | when i try starting networking it cant receive ip from dhcp. | 06:17 |
| msshams | after this when i run iwconfig, see that my wlan0 configured. and iwlist wlan0 scan says: no scan result. | 06:17 |
| msshams | can you help me please? | 06:17 |
| DankTank3 | ok so again... atheros ar5007 chipset for wireless... wont connect anymore... currently using ndiswrapper, and that is what worked within the last week. Now it simply will not connect and I am stuck wire bound. | 06:17 |
| kim_ | I don't mean hiberation, I just want to suspend computer in terminal by command | 06:17 |
| kim_ | in Ubuntu 8.04 | 06:17 |
| dru | hey when i try loading a backup i made it says .. cannot mount volume .. invalid mount option when attempting to mount the volume 'UDF Volume' ... how do i mount the cd? | 06:18 |
| Ramzi | wouldn't sleep work? | 06:18 |
| miles_ | damn i am no good at this | 06:18 |
| kim_ | sleep work well by GUI | 06:18 |
| miles_ | I read the page | 06:18 |
| Fryguy-- | kim_: try /etc/acpi/sleepbtn.sh | 06:18 |
| folioli | fryguy: examples of what it does is collect number of bytes rec'd and transmitted per second. I'm looking for something that will give me stats on average disk queue length and average network queue length | 06:18 |
| miles_ | And I have the bit torrent download client | 06:18 |
| Fryguy-- | kim_: that's what first google result says | 06:18 |
| miles_ | but I cant find or download a bittorrent file | 06:18 |
| kim_ | yes I saw it | 06:18 |
| Fryguy-- | miles_: what makes you think you need a bittorrent client | 06:19 |
| DankTank3 | miles | 06:19 |
| miles_ | i dont know | 06:19 |
| msshams | DankTank3: my link quality in iwconfig is 72/100 | 06:19 |
| kim_ | but doen't it work it when booting? | 06:19 |
| Fryguy-- | miles_: what specifically are you trying to do | 06:19 |
| DankTank3 | msshams | 06:19 |
| msshams | DankTank3: i haven't ndiswrapper command | 06:19 |
| DankTank3 | mine is 100 | 06:19 |
| miles_ | get use a peer to peer network to download files | 06:19 |
| kim_ | i don't know how running .sh in terminal | 06:19 |
| DankTank3 | hey im stuck too lol | 06:19 |
| tarelerulz | Have have movie in rar files . How would I play the movie while it is in rar with out extracting it ? | 06:19 |
| miles_ | through bittorrent | 06:19 |
| SubOne | is there a better channel i should be asking my bluetooth question in? | 06:19 |
| unop | tarelerulz, how do you read a book that you have in your backpack? | 06:20 |
| Fryguy-- | miles_: so search on the internet, find the torrent file that you want, load it into your torrent client, and then you are done | 06:20 |
| miles_ | okay | 06:20 |
| raj | i want to install c compiler so what package should i choose in synaptic manager | 06:20 |
| miles_ | i will try | 06:20 |
| thorny_sun | unop: this does not seem to be working-- each new package gives an error that another is needed.. is there no way to do this in a more automated way/-- similar to how aptitude does it normally | 06:20 |
| unop | raj, build-essential | 06:20 |
| Fryguy-- | miles_: the torrent client doesn't have the ability to search for content, it just takes a torrent you already have and downloads it. you need to get your torrents from another source | 06:20 |
| msshams | DankTank3: this is good to know that my wlan some times can connect but some time can't connect | 06:20 |
| DankTank3 | miles: yes, search for a file with the word torrent followed by it | 06:20 |
| msshams | DankTank3: can you help me? | 06:20 |
| xsmatt81_ | Hello does anyone know how to apply Overclock with NVclock GTK, I have fan speed settings working, but oc sliders do not take. help | 06:20 |
| DankTank3 | no, i am here for help myself.... im sorry | 06:20 |
| Fryguy-- | xsmatt81_: are you running the command as root | 06:20 |
| DankTank3 | if i could help you, i certainly would | 06:21 |
| raj | what should i choose in synaptic mangaer | 06:21 |
| unop | thorny_sun, not really -- you could use the regular intrepid repositories at the risk of breaking your system | 06:21 |
| Fryguy-- | raj: "build-essential" | 06:21 |
| xsmatt81_ | now im using the GTK version | 06:21 |
| Fryguy-- | raj: I think, i don't use ubuntu | 06:21 |
| nazgul | Ubuntu 8.04 and pidgin: does not connect to login.oscar.aol.com any more, asks for pidgin upgrade. known problem? | 06:21 |
| thorny_sun | unop: can i go back and undo whatever damage i've done? | 06:21 |
| tarelerulz | unop I have heard vlc does that ,but it don't work so well most the time or not at all. I thought I heard of way to do it by pipline unrar into say media player like mmplayer ,but I have no idea how that works | 06:21 |
| DankTank3 | apparently noone can help with wireless problems here | 06:21 |
| folioli | fryguy: any ideas on that disk/network monitoring? | 06:21 |
| xsmatt81_ | i made a launcher to NVclock-GTK on desktop, from /usr/bin/NVclock | 06:21 |
| miles_ | so that is how is works | 06:21 |
| miles_ | ohh | 06:21 |
| Fryguy-- | folioli: no | 06:21 |
| miles_ | then what would you call eMule | 06:22 |
| folioli | fryguy: thanks | 06:22 |
| miles_ | and how do you get that | 06:22 |
| Fryguy-- | miles_: in this context? I would call it "not bittorrent" | 06:22 |
| miles_ | okay, but you can use it to share and download files.. right? | 06:22 |
| unop | thorny_sun, look at all the .deb files in the current directory -- they correspond to packages that you've installed, just remove those packages | 06:22 |
| Fryguy-- | sure | 06:22 |
| DankTank3 | miles, use azureus... go search for a torrent you want.. and please let those of us that need real help get it | 06:22 |
| miles_ | soo how can i get it | 06:22 |
| raj | i want to install c compiler so what package should i choose in synaptic manager | 06:22 |
| tarelerulz | What is the different between Emule and bit torrent ? | 06:23 |
| miles_ | azureus | 06:23 |
| miles_ | oaky | 06:23 |
| miles_ | sorry | 06:23 |
| DankTank3 | in ubuntu, it is preinstalled | 06:23 |
| dqb | how do I get out of man? cntrl o? | 06:23 |
| Fryguy-- | dqb: q | 06:23 |
| SubOne | q | 06:23 |

| xsmatt81_ | hmm so busy | 06:23 |
| dqb | duh... | 06:23 |
| dqb | thx | 06:23 |
| raj | i want to install c compiler so what package should i choose in synaptic manager can any ne help me ? | 06:23 |
| DankTank3 | can anyone help us that need help connecting wirelessly? | 06:23 |
| Fryguy-- | xsmatt81_: you run it as root just like you run any other command as root, using sudo | 06:23 |
| SubOne | gcc | 06:24 |
| xsmatt81_ | ok will give that a try | 06:24 |
| Ramzi | raj, repeating a question won't help | 06:24 |
| Fryguy-- | if you need a graphical screen to type password in instead of a console one, use gksu | 06:24 |
| albuntu | Fryguy-- i rebooted but it still doesnt work. my router is an dlink dsl-g624t. i went to advanced > virtual server > Servers and added web server to the applied rules. rebooted the router , restarted ddclient but still the url from dyndns takes me to the router. could you please tell me what could i have done wrong ? | 06:24 |
| unop | tarelerulz, afaik, there is no way to unrar a file to stdout to use in a pipeline | 06:24 |
| SubOne | raj: gcc | 06:24 |
| DankTank3 | raj.. google | 06:24 |
| Fryguy-- | raj: we already answered you, install build-essential | 06:24 |
| tarelerulz | miles, Azureus is good program ,but take way more to set up then any other client I have ever used. Utorrent is just as good and deluge or some other client it better to me | 06:24 |
| xsmatt81_ | thank you | 06:24 |
| DankTank3 | utorrent is great | 06:24 |
| Fryguy-- | albuntu: you have misconfigured your router is what you've done wrong | 06:24 |
| unop | raj, sudo aptitude install build-essential | 06:24 |
| DankTank3 | but it isnt for ubuntu unless you use parallels or wine right? | 06:25 |
| SubOne | Does anyone know if there is a regular in here that will be in later that knows about this bluetooth stuff? | 06:25 |
| Fryguy-- | SubOne: no | 06:25 |
| albuntu | Fryguy-- there is no misconfiguration. everything is ok. i checked them | 06:25 |
| miles_ | Thank you for your help and your patience | 06:25 |
| unop | albuntu, did you check to see if your router is listening on the WAN interface? | 06:25 |
| Fryguy-- | albuntu: if there is no misconfiguration, then it works.. | 06:25 |
| SubOne | no guy or no you dont know | 06:25 |
| DankTank3 | Does anyone know if there is a regular that can help with wireless connection problems in ubuntu 8.04? | 06:25 |
| Fryguy-- | SubOne: both | 06:25 |
| miles_ | Sorry for being so confused | 06:25 |
| hyougin | Does anyone know how to reset video drivers to the ones that were running when linux was installed? | 06:25 |
| SubOne | ic lol | 06:25 |
| Metatron | trying to make a symlink with ln -s but path has spaces in it on ntfs partition, trying " and ' but cant get it right | 06:25 |
| aditza81 | hello | 06:26 |
| DankTank3 | miles if you go read up a bit, you will be set :) | 06:26 |
| albuntu | Fryguy-- than from what i said before where do you think the misconfiguration is ? | 06:26 |
| Fryguy-- | Metatron: just use tab complete to complete it | 06:26 |
| Fryguy-- | or escape with \ | 06:26 |
| miles_ | Thanks I got it =) | 06:26 |
| DankTank3 | me on the other hand has been reading for 4 days | 06:26 |
| miles_ | bye | 06:26 |
| Fryguy-- | albuntu: settings not being saved or enabled, or another setting is overring the virtual server (dmz configured for another machine, for example) | 06:26 |
| DankTank3 | and to no avail im screwed it seems | 06:26 |
| xsmatt81_ | typed sudo gksu /usr/bin/nvclock_gtk | 06:26 |
| Fryguy-- | albuntu: or you turned remote administration on in the past | 06:26 |
| albuntu | Fryguy-- dmz is disabled at all | 06:26 |
| xsmatt81_ | gthe program comes up, but still not able to apply OC.. | 06:26 |
| DankTank3 | this channel is a clusterf**k | 06:27 |

| [TIM]Indyroo | :) | 06:27 |
| Fryguy-- | DankTank3: there's only a few people talking, pretty easy to keep up | 06:27 |
| dqb | err. | 06:27 |
| xsmatt81_ | maybe NVclock is not good for 8800GTX | 06:27 |
| dqb | i need to do this when I can think | 06:27 |
| hyougin | anyone? | 06:27 |
| xsmatt81_ | wish unix had working rivatuner | 06:28 |
| DankTank3 | i am keeping up... jes noone here knows anything about wireless? | 06:28 |
| Jester45 | DankTank3: its jsut part of irc and the reason you shouldnt !enter or !repeat | 06:28 |
| Fryguy-- | hyougin: there should be a backup of your xorg.conf in /etc/X11 | 06:28 |
| manguy | Sorry, a newbie question. I'm looking at free -m right now, and it says under used for swap 20mb. But for free under buffers/cache, I have 187mb. Does this mean that 20mb was used at some point but is not necessarily being used now? | 06:28 |
| xsmatt81_ | Wine was no help with rivatuner because of the memory i/o mapping, just will not work | 06:28 |
| albuntu | Fryguy-- do i have to enable dmz even if i have done the port forwarding ? and i havent ever activated remote administration in the past. | 06:28 |
| DankTank3 | enter or repeat what? | 06:28 |
| DankTank3 | eh? | 06:28 |
| thorny_sun | unop: is intrepid horribly unstable? | 06:28 |
| Fryguy-- | manguy: it's probably being used now | 06:28 |
| manguy | Ah. | 06:28 |
| [TIM]Indyroo | 0.0 | 06:29 |
| thorny_sun | unop: and how would i upgrade? | 06:29 |
| DankTank3 | jester45, if you are going to correct me, at least explain what you mean | 06:29 |
| xsmatt81_ | I read about adding "coolbits 1" to x11org.conf Fry guy | 06:29 |
| [TIM]Indyroo | http://www.zdaemon.org/ | 06:29 |
| [TIM]Indyroo | :) | 06:29 |
| xsmatt81_ | are you familiar with such | 06:29 |
| unop | thorny_sun, well, it depends on how you use it really - it's still alpha (i beleive) for a reason | 06:29 |
| xsmatt81_ | i tried adding, but have to rebuild x11 file | 06:29 |
| Jester45 | manguy: it mean that 20mb of real memory has been swaped out but still "inuse" by some program the buffers/cache is old swap that isnt needed or used right now | 06:29 |
| hyougin | Does anyone know how to reset video (graphic card) drivers to the ones that were running when linux was installed? | 06:29 |
| Fryguy-- | DankTank3: nobody knows anything about your specific wireless setup in here, but google certainly does. I'm sure you have a well documented wireless card | 06:29 |
| Fryguy-- | hyougin: i just told you, there should be a backup xorg.conf in /etc/X11/ | 06:30 |
| unop | thorny_sun, well, have a look at apt-pinning - it allows you to use a mixed system i.e. hardy/intrepid (but be warned, this needs to be done properly( | 06:30 |
| unop | ) | 06:30 |
| DankTank3 | google is going to charge me if i search for this anymore | 06:30 |
| DankTank3 | lol | 06:30 |
| hyougin | I tried the backup | 06:30 |
| DankTank3 | i have combed it thoroughly | 06:30 |
| hyougin | it wouldnt work | 06:30 |
| hyougin | i tried a fresh one | 06:30 |
| hyougin | wouldnt work | 06:30 |
| xsmatt81_ | hyougin why not try Envy | 06:30 |
| raj | i did sudo apt install build-essential but its giving like.... E: Could not get lock /var/lib/dpkg/lock - open (11 Resource temporarily unavailable) E: Unable to lock the administration directory (/var/lib/dpkg/), is another process using it? | 06:30 |
| hyougin | i have. | 06:30 |
| gdo_ | ``Kernel panic - not syncing: Attempted to kill init!`` - I`m getting this problem. Everything was ok, but I instaled some wrong drivers and got this... I reinstalled everything(partitions, ubuntu...) and the problem continues :-(. Can you help me? | 06:30 |
| hyougin | everything i have tried has failed | 06:30 |
| DankTank3 | but thanks for at least telling me something | 06:30 |
| DankTank3 | :) | 06:30 |
| albuntu | raj you have synaptic open | 06:30 |
| Fryguy-- | DankTank3: if that is the case, then you probably have a card that doesn't work in linux, and maybe you should consider spending a little bit of money and just buy a card that has good linux support and save yourself some time | 06:30 |
| xsmatt81_ | it should work, or go into synaptic and uninstall, then reboot and then go into recovery mode | 06:30 |
| unop | raj, close down synaptic or adept or whatever else you have open | 06:30 |
| albuntu | raj close synaptic and try again | 06:31 |
| xsmatt81_ | recover x11 | 06:31 |
| DankTank3 | i did work b4 | 06:31 |
| Ramzi | hyougin: use envyng | 06:31 |
| hyougin | http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=846906 <-for anyone who has a minute or two to spare. pls & ty | 06:31 |
| manguy | Jester45: Ah, ok I understand. But if I do a top and look at the memory usage, it is not using 100% of the memory. Where would the swap come from exactly? | 06:31 |
| DankTank3 | thats what is so frustrating | 06:31 |
| raj | yes | 06:31 |
| Fryguy-- | raj: so make sure you aren't installing anything else or have the package manager open | 06:31 |
| hyougin | i tried ng as well | 06:31 |
| xsmatt81_ | then use the unbuntu driver manager | 06:31 |
| albuntu | Fryguy-- do i have to enable dmz even if i have done the port forwarding ? and i havent ever activated remote administration in the past. | 06:31 |
| DankTank3 | but no matter, noone here has the skill | 06:31 |
| Fryguy-- | albuntu: no | 06:31 |
| DankTank3 | ill jes idle and help as i can | 06:31 |
| jester7 | anybody here know a lot about the enterprise support from canonical? | 06:31 |
| Jester45 | DankTank3: i wasnt correcting just saying the reason we dont like !enter or !repeaters is because it can get really hard to keep up for new users getting help, if they are trying to run a program look back at the chat and we are aready 3 pages farther down he/she can get confused | 06:31 |
| unop | albuntu, check that remote administration is disabled | 06:31 |
| albuntu | Fryguy-- ok than where is the misconfiguration because dmz is disabled | 06:31 |

| unop | albuntu, and if you are checking whether port-forwarding works from within your LAN -- it probably will not work as you think it does -- especially with http -- the router might be redirecting you to its admin page rather than actually do the port-forwarding | 06:33 |

| gdo_ | hi, do you have an idea about my problem? it`s so weird... | 06:34 |

| unop | albuntu, get someone on the internet to remotely test your connection out -- rather than you testing it out from your LAN -- you're barking up the right tree the wrong way here | 06:35 |
| SrgSantos54 | i do | 06:35 |
| === zamanfou is now known as zamanf | ||
| Fryguy-- | SrgSantos54: then you don't have the error (or you are working on a remote nfs shared without root mapping turned on, but i doubt this is the case) | 06:35 |
| Ramzi | gdo_: have you searched on google? | 06:35 |
| Jester45 | gdo_: dont install those drivers they are makign the kernel panic | 06:35 |

| unop | albuntu, and you want to portforward 80 and 443 not 80 and 430 (assuming it is http and https you are port-forwarding) | 06:36 |
| xsmatt81_ | Srgsantos54 use Sudo gedit /usr/file/doc.txt etc | 06:36 |

| Fryguy-- | albuntu: apache giving a directory listing of a blank directory | 06:37 |
| === _weltall is now known as weltall | ||
| albuntu | Fryguy-- than its working well. thank you | 06:38 |
| xsmatt81_ | say Fryguy nvclock still not working under foot access | 06:38 |
| gdo_ | Jester45: but I deleted the partition and started over with the instalation with a new partition and the problem continues. It`s so strange. What could be happening? | 06:38 |
| Fryguy-- | xsmatt81_: ok | 06:38 |
| xsmatt81_ | any ideas? | 06:38 |
| Fryguy-- | xsmatt81_: like i said, i don't know | 06:38 |
| === emo is now known as Guest98211 | ||
| xsmatt81_ | ok i think i will try the console version | 06:38 |
| Fryguy-- | xsmatt81_: i have no idea, i don't overclock my nvidia card, and i don't run ubuntu, i'm probably not much help to you | 06:39 |
| xsmatt81_ | why are you in a unbuntu channel then? | 06:39 |

| msshams | i can't connect to our network using wlan. but iwconfig shows our network settings like link quality. can you help me? this is iwconfig output: http://paste.ubuntu.com/24399/ | 06:41 |
| Jester45 | gdo_: the all mighty linux god is mad (aka Tux) | 06:41 |
| Ramzi | yeah... I know | 06:41 |
| Ramzi | allot of general questions | 06:41 |
| Jester45 | msshams: did you set the key right if you need it | 06:41 |
| Ramzi | so you are allowed to ask jeje | 06:42 |
| Fryguy-- | eh | 06:42 |
| msshams | Jester45: our network don't use any key or password. my brother laptop works fine with wlan. but my laptop with same preferences doesn't work. | 06:43 |
| wuxia | how do i rorate my screen using xrandr} | 06:43 |
| msshams | Jester45: ubuntu detects wlan. and i can see network settings with iwconfig or wicd. but can't connect | 06:43 |
| Fryguy-- | i use command line vim in an xterm compatible term with mouse reporting. I use set mouse=a to get better mouse behavior in terminal, but this also intercepts clipboard events, which is undesirable when I am working remotely. I have played around with various settings for clipboard (including clipboard= and clipboard=unnmaed) but I am unable to get terminal copy/paste to work like it normally would outside of vim. Any ideas | 06:44 |
| msshams | Jester45: can you help me? | 06:45 |
| Fryguy-- | Ramzi: take your best shot lol | 06:45 |

| Metatron | im trying to get ltsp going, i want to update the client tree offline (on dialup), i have an iso with my packages i want to use, when i chroot to the client build, i can't mount the iso as /proc/partitions don't exist in the temp root, so no sda2 listed, now can i mount the iso's inside the ltsp client when chrooted into it? | 06:47 |
| Metatron | how can i that is not now can i | 06:48 |
| nano_ | From grub, i have changed my vga= parameter and for some reason my usplash resolution is effected. Why is this happening, I haven't made any changes to /etc/usplash.conf | 06:48 |
| rand0m | rmm.. i'm installing ubuntu 8.04 onto my old desktop PC via the alternative text based installer - at maybe 2% or 3% i rcv'd an error msg telling me that something like packages.gz ors omething was corrupted | 06:48 |
| rand0m | but the install continued... think it'll be ok ? | 06:48 |
| Fryguy-- | nano_: usplash runs in framebuffer before X runs, so any changes to console resolution will affect it | 06:48 |
| Fryguy-- | rand0m: no | 06:49 |
| KORG | 2 rand0m - check md5 sum | 06:49 |
| nano_ | Fryguy--, but then what is the point of having /etc/usplash.conf file? what does this having this file accomplish? | 06:49 |
| Fryguy-- | nano_: no idea. I don't use usplash so I don't know what's in that file | 06:49 |
| Fryguy-- | it's probably a configuration used for the image to display/ | 06:49 |
| DankTank3 | maybe someone can help me here... for instance in /etc/modprobe.d/blacklist when i do something more than once the next command is put in quotes (i.e. device and the "device) why is that, and does it need to be there when it is in quotes like that? | 06:50 |
| rand0m | KORG, im pretty new to ubuntu (and linux).. not sure what you meant by that | 06:50 |
| DankTank3 | ... "device" | 06:50 |
| Fryguy-- | DankTank3: "do something" ? can you be a little more specific? | 06:50 |
| Fryguy-- | rand0m: no it won't be OK. check your disc to make sure it's ok and redownload/reburn if necesary | 06:50 |
| Shadow_X | is xmms not in the repos for 8.04? | 06:50 |
| DankTank3 | well i blacklist my default driver | 06:51 |
| nano_ | Fryguy--, you don't use usplash....i guess it might teach a person something from looking at those messages fly by during boot | 06:51 |
| DankTank3 | and i have done this several times | 06:51 |
| DankTank3 | and everytime i do it | 06:51 |
| rand0m | Fryguy--, i take your word for it.. out of ignorant faith though, i'm going to let it finish installing and see if it even comes close to working | 06:51 |
| DankTank3 | after the original time | 06:51 |
| rand0m | though i don't doubt you | 06:51 |
| DankTank3 | it put the blacklisted device in quotes | 06:51 |
| DankTank3 | does that make sense? | 06:51 |
| Fryguy-- | nano_: none of the *nix machines I run have a monitor plugged into them, nor are they ever rebooted | 06:51 |
| KORG | 2 rand0m - please read this manual - https://help.ubuntu.com/community/HowToMD5SUM | 06:52 |
| Fryguy-- | DankTank3: "after the original time" ? after a reboot? after you edit the file? while you are editing the file? | 06:52 |
| nano_ | Fryguy--, thnx | 06:52 |
| rand0m | thanks KORG | 06:52 |
| DankTank3 | in terminal i deliver a command such as this: echo “blacklist ath_pci” | sudo tee -a /etc/modprobe.d/blacklist | 06:53 |
| m1r | hello | 06:53 |
| Gumby | Hey all, I am trying to setup the cube in CompizConfig (or rather the shortcuts used for the cube) and I see the shortcut options and a lot of them say something similar to ctrl+alt+button1, ctrl+alt+button2 etc. Where exactly are the settings for "button1 and button2" | 06:53 |
| Fryguy-- | DankTank3: yah that's the wrong way to be doing that heh | 06:53 |
| Fryguy-- | Gumby: mouse buttons | 06:54 |
| DankTank3 | and the first time i did it,in that txt file it says: blacklist ath_pci | 06:54 |
| DankTank3 | after a reboot and i do it again, it is in quotations | 06:54 |
| rand0m | yeah... got another error while trying to configure apt | 06:54 |
| rand0m | balls., that was my last cdr lol | 06:54 |
| DankTank3 | wrong way? | 06:54 |
| winmaster_41 | i have a quick question | 06:54 |
| DankTank3 | that was step one | 06:54 |
| rand0m | think it'd work trying to boot it from a memory stick in a psp via USB ? | 06:55 |
| winmaster_41 | i wanna dual-boot vista and ubuntu | 06:55 |
| Gumby | Fryguy--: you sure? cause none of those shortcuts seems to work (and mouse buttons generally only have 3 buttons + scroll, not 6 alt+button6) | 06:55 |
| Fryguy-- | DankTank3: echo "blacklist ath_pci" >> /etc/modprobe.d/blacklist | 06:55 |
| DankTank3 | that is the command i should use? | 06:55 |
| Fryguy-- | Gumby: 3 buttons + scroll = 5 buttons (scroll up and scroll down are buttons) | 06:55 |
| winmaster_41 | how would i get the vista bootloader back when ubuntu is installed? | 06:55 |
| winmaster_41 | i don't wat | 06:55 |
| Fryguy-- | winmaster_41: boot vista cd and use fixmbr | 06:55 |
| winmaster_41 | oh | 06:55 |
| Gumby | Fryguy--: ok. I'll see if I can figure it all out. thank you | 06:55 |
| DankTank3 | fryguy is teh s**t hehe | 06:56 |
| winmaster_41 | through "dos"? | 06:56 |
| orly_owl | how can i connect to the net using a huiwei e169g modem on ubuntu netbook remix when running a window manager like icewm? | 06:56 |

| Fryguy-- | DankTank3: keep in mind I don't even USE UBUNTU | 06:56 |

| DankTank3 | what is your question | 06:56 |
| DankTank3 | and answer mine | 06:56 |
| nano_ | for regular expressions, say i wanted to search for a file that ended in "png" or "jpg"....can i use "*.[jpg,png]" | 06:56 |
| Fryguy-- | i use command line vim in an xterm compatible term with mouse reporting.

| DankTank3 | yea.. thats over me man.. im sorry | 06:57 |
| DankTank3 | ubuntuforums maybe? | 06:57 |
| rand0m | think it'd work trying to install ubuntu booting it from a memory stick in a psp via USB ? | 06:57 |
| Fryguy-- | DankTank3: it's not really an ubuntu problem | 06:57 |
| DankTank3 | oh my bad | 06:57 |
| DankTank3 | thats right | 06:57 |
| DankTank3 | what do you use? | 06:57 |
| Fryguy-- | DankTank3: but nobody else in here asks ubuntu questions, so I figured I'd take a shot | 06:57 |
| Fryguy-- | DankTank3: depends where I am | 06:57 |
| Fryguy-- | DankTank3: right now i'm on a vista machine terminaled into my freebsd server. my laptop has XP, work I use a mac and terminal into one of about a dozen different centos 5.1 machines depending on what I'm doing | 06:58 |
| DankTank3 | right on.. hehe | 06:58 |
| DankTank3 | so what is this about fry? | 06:58 |
| DankTank3 | echo "blacklist ath_pci" >> /etc/modprobe.d/blacklist | 06:58 |
| Fryguy-- | nano_: that won't work I don't think, since [] defines a character set in regex | 06:59 |
| DankTank3 | and plz go look at this if that command raised your attention | 06:59 |
| orly_owl | anyone? command to connect to the internet with the e169g? | 06:59 |
| DankTank3 | http://blog.linuxoss.com/2008/05/ubuntu-804-enabling-atheros-ar5007-based-wireless/ | 06:59 |
| DankTank3 | that has actually worked for me | 06:59 |
| DankTank3 | but now it wont :( | 06:59 |
| Fryguy-- | I don't know stripped down regex that much (when I do regex it's usually within the scope of a full engine), but you might want something like "*.(jpg|png)" | 06:59 |
| nano_ | Fryguy--, i guess im stuck with using "find ./ -iname "*.png" --or "*.jpg" | 06:59 |
| nano_ | Fryguy--, thnx | 06:59 |
| panosru | hello, ubuntu or kubuntu? | 06:59 |

| DankTank3 | and fryguy, why not jes not use mouse=a if the clipboard is that big a problem? | 07:00 |
| Fryguy-- | DankTank3: i don't do shit with wireless on *nix systems, so i can't help you | 07:00 |
| DankTank3 | i want you to look at the commands | 07:00 |
| Fryguy-- | DankTank3: because mouse=a adds other mouse behavior that is important to me | 07:00 |
| DankTank3 | das all and its short | 07:00 |
| SrgSantos54 | is there a way i can block a page ?!? | 07:00 |
| DankTank3 | post your question again | 07:01 |
| DankTank3 | i wanna look at sumthin | 07:01 |

| DankTank3 | yes | 07:01 |

| DankTank3 | jack | 07:02 |
| orly_owl | yep | 07:02 |
| ariqs | I never understood why regex is so popular. It's too cryptic. A more natural version would be nice | 07:02 |
| unop | Fryguy--, re:vim/term - :help paste and :help xterm-copy-paste and :help xterm-clipboard might help - you might also like this vim search engine i've compiled - http://tinyurl.com/58yc35 | 07:02 |
| DankTank3 | restart from where? | 07:02 |
| nano_ | DankTank3, i have hp dv2000 laptop, X2 turions dual core working at 1.8Ghz each | 07:02 |
| jack-desktop | DankTank3: my ccsm isn't updating compiz so i'm going to see if restarting is going to help | 07:02 |
| nano_ | DankTank3, + 2 gigs ram | 07:02 |
| DankTank3 | that command should work | 07:02 |
| DankTank3 | sudo | 07:03 |
| DankTank3 | i love compiz, but i dont run it much | 07:03 |
| DankTank3 | jes to show off to windows users | 07:03 |

| wiramaswara | hello alll | 07:03 |
| Metatron | how can i mount a ntfs disk while after i have chrooted to a directory? ive tried mount -o /proc /chroot/proc still cant see the drives | 07:03 |
| Fryguy-- | Metatron: you need to mount devfs before chrooting | 07:04 |
| DankTank3 | fry, didja look for my poor soul? | 07:04 |
| DankTank3 | at that site? | 07:04 |
| DankTank3 | it did work b4 | 07:04 |
| Metatron | ok Fryguy--ill try that | 07:04 |
| DankTank3 | but not now :| | 07:04 |
| jack-desktop | that worked, why would ccsm stop working after awhile? | 07:04 |
| Fryguy-- | ariqs: a regex is an example of a context free grammar. More natural versions would have to be run as DFAs and will run slower, which becomes important in a lot of the circumstances that regexes are used in | 07:05 |
| DankTank3 | i am thinking it is *.conf's being done over and over too much | 07:05 |
| DankTank3 | no idea jack | 07:05 |
| DankTank3 | depends on about 10 billion things | 07:05 |
| DankTank3 | try to hold you mouth right next time ;) | 07:05 |
| ariqs | fryguy: what does DFA stand for? | 07:05 |
| bazhang | jack-desktop, where are you launching it from | 07:05 |
| Fryguy-- | ariqs: "discrete finite automata" | 07:06 |
| jack-desktop | the menu =/ | 07:06 |
| unop | Fryguy--, i'm not sure, there was something in the help files about a mapping of g with mouse clicks -- one reason why i don't use xterm is because it doesn't play well with vim | 07:06 |
| DankTank3 | gnome? kde? | 07:06 |
| DankTank3 | etc? | 07:06 |
| bazhang | jack-desktop, the menu? ie simple-ccsm or other | 07:06 |
| jack-desktop | System->Preferences->Compiz setting manager | 07:06 |
| Fryguy-- | unop: well i'm using urxvt, it supports xterm-style mouse reporting though, so I can use mouse=a. Which allows me to do things like select multiple lines of text and not wrap and catch line numbers and such | 07:06 |
| SrgSantos54 | can someone help me | 07:07 |
| DankTank3 | what distro are you runnin jack? | 07:07 |
| jack-desktop | ubuntu hardy | 07:07 |
| bazhang | SrgSantos54, need a question :) | 07:07 |
| jack-desktop | my uptime is 4 days -- it usually stops working after awhile, it did it on gutsy too | 07:07 |
| SrgSantos54 | i have a annoying page pop up that says that my systyem is infected and can't close it | 07:07 |
| bazhang | jack-desktop, what about in appearances | 07:07 |
| unop | Fryguy--, yep, same reason why my SHELL=urxvt | 07:07 |
| eugene__ | Does anyone know what ip address that starts with 10.0.0.2 means? | 07:07 |
| bazhang | SrgSantos54, how about a screenshot | 07:07 |

| tarelerulz | You can play movies inside rar files via Dziobas rar player. It can't go to full screen and can't do all movies ,but it does work. VLC can do it ,but not most of the time. | 07:08 |
| jack-desktop | bazhang: what about appearances | 07:08 |
| SrgSantos54 | it gives me the option to download something | 07:08 |
| DankTank3 | fryguy... did you look at the page for me? | 07:08 |
| bazhang | jack-desktop, set to custom (this is gutsy or hardy) | 07:08 |
| Fryguy-- | DankTank3: looks pretty straightforward | 07:08 |
| jack-desktop | bazhang: it works.... it just stops working after my computer has been online for awhile | 07:08 |
| DankTank3 | yep.. ok man thanks | 07:09 |
| bazhang | jack-desktop, what about alt f2 compiz --replace | 07:09 |
| jack-desktop | bazhang: yeah, that fixed it, i was wondering why it did this though | 07:09 |
| bazhang | jack-desktop, were you doing compiz --replace in the terminal? | 07:09 |
| jack-desktop | bazhang: yes, but ... that's not the problem lol | 07:10 |
| unop | tarelerulz, i find the whole thing of putting movies into rar files a bit unnecessary -- most video containers support and use pretty good compression anyway, so using rar on top of them only shaves off a few meg which isn't worth the hassle really | 07:10 |
| Fryguy-- | blah i'm going to bed | 07:10 |
| SrgSantos54 | file:///home/adolfo/Screenshot-1.png | 07:10 |
| Gumby | Fryguy--: ok, I understand the button1, button2 stuff now. How about "super" | 07:10 |
| nickrud | goodnight Fryguy-- | 07:10 |
| Fryguy-- | Gumby: it's the windows key | 07:10 |
| Gumby | d'oh. thx anyhow Fryguy-- | 07:10 |
| Gumby | ahh | 07:10 |
| Gumby | thanks | 07:10 |
| bazhang | jack-desktop, then that is the source of your problems; do it in run command window not terminal | 07:10 |
| DankTank3 | super is the windows button | 07:10 |
| Gumby | gnight | 07:10 |
| Gumby | :) | 07:10 |
| jack-desktop | when i start my system after a reboot, ccsm works fine | 07:11 |
| jack-desktop | then after about a day or so - it stops updating | 07:11 |
| jack-desktop | "compiz --replace" fixes it... i guess. | 07:11 |
| DankTank3 | could be a heat issue or a memory leak | 07:11 |
| bazhang | SrgSantos54, you need to upload that screenshot somewhere | 07:11 |
| Metatron | Fryguy--: unknown filesystem type 'devfs' but i got it with must mounted dev/ thnx, it was my fault i didnt realise exiting the root cleared the mounts | 07:11 |
| jack-desktop | it's not a real problem, i was just wondering why it did it | 07:11 |
| bazhang | jack-desktop, as I said above | 07:11 |
| DankTank3 | google is your friend jack :P | 07:11 |
| SrgSantos54 | bazhang how to i input a screenshot ?!? | 07:12 |
| bazhang | we are smarter than google | 07:12 |

| DankTank3 | GHT | 07:12 |
| DankTank3 | then fix my problem | 07:12 |

| SrgSantos54 | youwant me to give you the page | 07:12 |
| nickrud | bazhang, hoist on his own petard ;) | 07:12 |
| DankTank3 | :( | 07:13 |
| DankTank3 | i have been reprimanded | 07:13 |
| bazhang | DankTank3, just waiting for the #vim channel to relocate :) | 07:13 |
| DankTank3 | lol | 07:13 |
| bazhang | DankTank3, sorry missed your issue-->could you restate? | 07:13 |
| tarelerulz | unop, I think the same thing . I don't know why the site I get stuff from does that. few meg will not break the bank on file that is like 4.5 gigs . It just make one more step to do . Plus there don't seem to be anyting on play movies inside rar. VLC do it ,but not well at all. No thing on mplayer either. About the only play I ever saw do that good was xbox media center . It was one of the best media player I have seen period . | 07:13 |

| HomesickA | hello, should i post my question again? | 07:22 |
| rand0m | bazhang, the psp would basically only serve as the device for the pc to recognize the memory stick through | 07:22 |
| CostaRicanQuaker | I-ve already done this so i know it can be done i just dont know how to do it someone helped me on the forums here but basically i am running on a very old version of ubuntu 5.10 to be exact, i dont know if that-s called breezy, but i know that in order to get the new repos and load kubuntu and xubuntu desktops i have to open some sort of gedit file | 07:22 |
| rand0m | wait.. no os on the stick, not bootable | 07:23 |
| CostaRicanQuaker | and erase a bunch of lines that start with ## | 07:23 |
| CostaRicanQuaker | and paste something new | 07:23 |
| CostaRicanQuaker | so can someone help me | 07:23 |

| afallenhope | anyone know of a codec that I can install to play rm files? I have Totem and VLC installed.. neither of them do it | 07:44 |
| bazhang | sisi_, you can try eva, or compile the newer version, or look for a deb of more recent pidgin on getdeb.net | 07:45 |
| magnetron | sisi_, there's a long list of ICQ clients in the repos. go to "applications" > "add / remove" and then search for icq | 07:45 |
| bazhang | afallenhope, not all rm will play, ubuntu-restricted-extras and win32codecs will play most; you can also install realplayer gold | 07:45 |
| daYZman-w | i'm trying to install the latest nvidia driver (downloaded from nvidia), but it's asking me to shut down my xserver before running the script. i tried doing it in recovery mode, but then it says it should be run in level 3 (telinit 3). if i do telinit 3, the xserver starts up. so how should the script be run? | 07:46 |

| ASau | Why your oh-so-nice ubuntu launches all kinds of useless | 07:55 |
| ASau | services like CUPS, while there's no printer around, provides | 07:55 |

| magnetron | yesudeep, you may need the gnome-bluetooth package | 08:06 |
| bazhang | afallenhope, this is 64bit system right? | 08:06 |
| nano_ | how can i tell which UNMOUNTED usb drive is associated with which /dev/device? | 08:06 |
| yesudeep | magnetron: Alright. I'll try that. | 08:06 |
| afallenhope | bazhang, yes | 08:06 |
| bazhang | win64codecs? | 08:07 |
| magnetron | yesudeep, there's another package you might need too.. something named vfs obex something. let me get the name | 08:07 |
| afallenhope | corollax, not sure what the fix missing | 08:07 |
| kontagious | i can still mount the partitian from the live cd and see the files | 08:07 |
| afallenhope | bazhang, wwas right it's w64codecs | 08:07 |
| greenfishx3 | I tried to move a big folder.. 99% worked but one folder is remaining "directory is not empty" I just checked it did move the folder, but its still remaining.. whats up with the error? | 08:07 |
| corollax | bazhang: nice call! | 08:07 |
| zcat[1] | in another 8 years it will be w128codecs | 08:08 |
| afallenhope | however still won't play .rm files | 08:08 |
| afallenhope | not in TOTEM or VLC player | 08:08 |
| bazhang | corollax, :) | 08:08 |
| kontagious | bazhang: should i try reinstalling grub? | 08:08 |
| afallenhope | correction.. it plays it but no video | 08:08 |
| magnetron | yesudeep, the package's name is gnome-vfs-obexftp . don't forget to pair with the phone first | 08:08 |
| afallenhope | anyways I'll tackle this another night thanks for the help | 08:08 |
| afallenhope | ciao | 08:09 |
| bazhang | afallenhope, some will not play at all. you can try to get realplayer gold (not sure if they have 64bit version though) | 08:09 |
| kaliMastah | darn pidgin often crashed...is there anyway i can fixed this? | 08:09 |

| corollax | kaliMastah: If you're willing to give up the functionality, using pure ALSA might help. | 08:10 |

| cadoo | avi video to ogg sound | 08:12 |
| daYZman-w | bazhang, ah ok. i'll install it. | 08:12 |
| bazhang | kontagious, my point is, is that if it does not state grub error 15, 17, or the like, then your issue is likely elsewhere-->having the exact error would be helpful in this case | 08:12 |
| magnetron | cadoo, yes. you could use the ffmpeg2theora commandline tool. the package is named "ffmpeg2theora" | 08:12 |
| kontagious | ok bazhang i will be back with the exact error | 08:12 |
| yesudeep | magnetron: Nope. Doesn't work. | 08:12 |

| sisi_ | kaliMastah: i am trying to do the same | 08:13 |
| bazhang | envyng-gtk? or trying to run it daYZman-w | 08:13 |
| bobby | Kartagis, it tells me that my version of pidgin is uptodate | 08:13 |

| corollax | lwizardl: I think that MIGHT be a nautilus setting. Are you using ubuntu, kubuntu or "other"? :-) | 08:14 |
| yesudeep | magnetron: You mean the ability to store files on the phone? | 08:14 |
| daYZman-w | bazhang, i haven't got it installed, so i'm installing envyng from synaptic. | 08:14 |
| gradin | syslog is popping up saying -laptop kernel: [10956.469338] wlan0: CTS protection enabled and disable repeatedly | 08:14 |

| greenfishx3 | I tried to move a big folder.. 99% worked but one folder is remaining "directory is not empty" I just checked it did move the folder, but its still remaining.. whats up with the error? | 08:14 |
| magnetron | yesudeep, no, not the ability to store files | 08:15 |
| corollax | lwizardl: Open up a file browser window. | 08:15 |
| corollax | lwizardl: On the menubar, go to "edit-> preferences, and click the "Media" tab on the wizard that pops up. | 08:15 |
| yesudeep | The ability to receive files then? | 08:15 |
| corollax | lwizardl: The bottom option contains a "browse media when inserted" checkmark. Unclick that. | 08:15 |
| corollax | lwizardl: That should solve your problem, I think. | 08:16 |

| vdsy | a quick question...how do i automatically update grub AFTER i install another distro in a HD..i know it's update-grub, but the command is a little iffy... | 08:19 |
| Metatron | greenfishx3: i run 512 just find, the question is your gpu (graphics processing unit) my experience with xubuntu is that it isnt that much lighter than ubuntu | 08:19 |
| bobby | thx magnetron , bazhang's link already explained the situation | 08:19 |
| Metatron | just fine that is | 08:19 |
| greenfishx3 | CyRuS: okay thats pretty low | 08:20 |

| CyRuS | greenfishx3: so I should try Kubuntu and just go with Ubuntu ? | 08:20 |
| erry | I need help | 08:20 |
| erry | I cannot play midis in my ubuntu | 08:20 |
| greenfishx3 | AndrewBC and its running fine? | 08:20 |
| erry | Can u help me | 08:20 |
| bazhang | erry, we need a question | 08:20 |
| CyRuS | greenfishx3: I meant shouldN'T | 08:20 |
| erry | I said the question | 08:21 |
| greenfishx3 | CyRuS: kubuntu is just ubuntu with another GUI (KDE) | 08:21 |
| AndrewBC | greenfishx3, yep, it runs great | 08:21 |
| erry | I cannot play midis | 08:21 |
| erry | how do i play them | 08:21 |
| kontagious | bazhang: uh oh | 08:21 |
| erry | They just won't play | 08:21 |

| greenfishx3 | AndrewBC nice :) | 08:21 |
| bazhang | erry there is your answer | 08:21 |
| corollax | Hee! Way to go, ubuttu! | 08:21 |
| erry | ok thnx | 08:21 |
| yesudeep | magnetron: What can I do? Can aI send files using the terminal? | 08:21 |
| erry | no need to go all mad at me :( | 08:21 |
| CyRuS | greenfishx3: so, which should I go for? | 08:21 |
| erry | Say hi to mystery for me if u see him ;) | 08:21 |
| erry | Anw | 08:21 |
| corollax | CyRuS: Personally, I'm a fan of GNOME (generic Ubuntu) | 08:21 |
| AndrewBC | I've got xchat, transmission, opera, a couple terminals, pidgin, gedit, and system monitor going | 08:21 |
| Metatron | greenfishx3: ive tried ubuntu with no gnome, just fluxbox, jwm or icewm, and a lite fm like rox, it runs great, problem is you don't have normal access to tools and settings making it difficult to maintain | 08:21 |
| magnetron | sisi_, use these packages: http://joeterranova.net/code/pidgin-2.4.1-icqfix.tar.gz | 08:22 |
| greenfishx3 | CyRuS: ubuntu or kubuntu = basically teh same thing, just diff GUI, CyRuS if you want a similar "windows" look go with KDE (i use it) or if you want a diff look get GNOME, they are both excellent | 08:22 |
| bazhang | kontagious, you have backups? | 08:22 |
| corollax | CyRuS: But that's because I use an ubuntu derivative that's based primarily around gnome (Mint) | 08:22 |
| Metatron | i tried it that way on a pii with 192 ram and it was responsive | 08:22 |
| kontagious | bazhang: no but i can mount the partitian from thsi live cd | 08:22 |
| magnetron | yesudeep, you should keep investigating your problem | 08:22 |
| corollax | CyRuS: Fortunately, it's incredibly easy to try out a new desktop environment. | 08:22 |
| CyRuS | Fine, I think Ubuntu(GNOME) is the one for me. Thanks for helping me out, guys | 08:22 |
| kontagious | and read the files | 08:22 |
| bazhang | kontagious, best to do some backups (just in case we cant fix it) | 08:22 |
| corollax | CyRuS: If you want to try out KDE after installing Ubuntu... | 08:22 |
| CyRuS | corollax: yup? | 08:22 |
| AndrewBC | still only using 311/428MB ram | 08:22 |

| kontagious | bazhang: ok.. so what do you think we should try first | 08:23 |

| bazhang | kontagious, ah then you got it handled, nice. | 08:23 |
| greenfishx3 | Metatron how long have you been using linux or nix in general? | 08:23 |
| corollax | CyRuS: The default is "last session used" | 08:23 |
| CyRuS | corollax: thanks | 08:23 |
| corollax | CyRuS: When you install a new one, it simply adds to the box. | 08:24 |
| corollax | CyRuS: Fair warning, the desktop environments are rather large (Roughly 2-3 GB, depending on which one you're talking about) | 08:24 |

| daYZman-w | does anyone know how to upgrade video drivers on gutsy? | 08:24 |
| Metatron | greenfishx3: not real long off an on for about 5 years | 08:25 |
| corollax | CyRuS: which would be "sudo apt-get purge (k/x)ubuntu-desktop" ^,^ | 08:25 |

| tim__b | magnetron, the pidgin package you posted keeps crashing randomly like one other package i tested. is the pidgin website working for anyone? | 08:27 |
| corollax | CyRuS: If you find yourself liking the regular flavor of Ubuntu the best, try giving Mint a try. Google it! | 08:27 |
| aslan | Yaroze: ya check out getdeb.net | 08:27 |
| Metatron | AndrewBC: not as bad as you would think especialy if you encrypt the file system and boot from usb or multisession CD/DVD | 08:27 |
| CyRuS | corollax: Will do | 08:27 |
| magnetron | tim__b, have patience until the official patch gets rolled out via the updates | 08:28 |
| Metatron | i think the cutting of the multiuser out of the distro is why it is so fast, non faster ive found, not dsl, certainly not xubuntu | 08:28 |

| jeeves__ | what is the Winamp look-a-like for Ubuntu? I just installed XMMS2 and it's nothing like what I remember | 08:30 |
| xnv | And pidgin.im is down for me | 08:30 |
| corollax | Kartagis: I'd convert it to a .deb first. | 08:30 |
| Sebastian | Protocol change or something like that. | 08:30 |
| xnv | It's the end of the world! | 08:30 |
| kontagious | bazhang: it worked!!! | 08:30 |
| corollax | Kartagis: there's a package called 'alien' that would do the trick for you. | 08:30 |
| Kartagis | corollax: alien? | 08:30 |
| corollax | Kartagis: check the man page! *grin* | 08:30 |
| bazhang | kontagious, yay! | 08:30 |
| Slart | !alien | 08:30 |
| ubottu | RPM is the RedHat Package Management system. Ubuntu uses !APT, not RPM. RPM packages are not supported (the package "alien" can allow installing them, but it's quite dangerous) | 08:30 |
| kontagious | bazhang: of course microsoft has to make things complicated when they dont have to be :S | 08:30 |
| Metatron | AndrewBC: eh dont wanna debate it, puppy is just what it is, meant to be a client, runs everything as root, not users, no more dangerous than sudoing the wrong command, plus it is way more convenient, different strokes and all | 08:31 |
| xnv | A communications disruption can mean only one thing... invasion. | 08:31 |

| Slart | jeeves__: take a look here http://audacious-media-player.org/index.php?title=Main_Page | 08:33 |
| jeeves__ | corollax, lol, I know, but I'm trying to convince this person that it's just as easy | 08:33 |
| corollax | jeeves__: Actually, I just got done switching my parents over to ubuntu (Wubi made it rather easy to integrate it with their existing OS) | 08:34 |
| jeeves__ | Slart, thanks man, that's what I wanted | 08:34 |
| tuntun | Is there a app for backin-up hdd that will hash files to avoid re-archiving a file that has just moved folder/partition? | 08:34 |
| Metatron | lol nah just it is good that there is that option out there if someone wants it, if not there are plenty of alternatives, that is a good thing | 08:35 |
| Metatron | i run it on an old machine for the kids cause the machine is ancient and it is the fastest ive found, i dont need high security for elmo's adventures in grouchland | 08:35 |
| Metatron | well the chroot finlay updated, now.....will i be able to boot from it | 08:35 |
| corollax | jeeves__: Fair warning, there is a bit of work involved in getting any computer completely "idiot proofed" | 08:35 |
| Metatron | is there a way to monitor current sessions , logon attempts and connections from an ltsp server | 08:35 |
| Slart | jeeves__: you're welcome | 08:35 |
| corollax | jeeves__: I'd recommend trying to anticipate what packages and codecs they need before you set it loose for them. | 08:35 |
| Slart | !backup | tuntun | 08:35 |
| ubottu | tuntun: There are many ways to back your system up. Here's a few: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/BackupYourSystem , https://help.ubuntu.com/community/DuplicityBackupHowto , https://wiki.ubuntu.com/HomeUserBackup , https://help.ubuntu.com/community/MondoMindi - See also !sbackup and !cloning | 08:35 |
| jeeves__ | corollax, that's what I'm doing with this. it's my mother's laptop, and since she's almost 60, she's not to smart when it gomes to e-mail and browsing, so I'm looking for something SIMPLE. My next thing is finding a good replacement for M$ streets and trips. GPSDrive isn't doing it for me. | 08:35 |
| Slart | tuntun: yes.. there are many apps that do differential backups and many apps use various clever tricks to reduce the size of the backup | 08:36 |

| ubottu | luca: Vai su #ubuntu-it se vuoi parlare in italiano, in questo canale usiamo solo l'inglese. Grazie! | 08:37 |
| corollax | jeeves__: Set up shortcuts on the desktop and/or panels for their most frequently used tasks... | 08:37 |
| corollax | jeeves__: And make sure you work on them, too -- not just the computer! | 08:37 |
| jeeves__ | corollax, lol, I just ignore them, and since they don't have their orignal M$ disks, they're stuck with it. Any ideas on the GPS thing? | 08:37 |
| Slart | !gps | 08:37 |
| ubottu | Street mapping and GPS navigation software available for Ubuntu includes !GpsDrive (GTK, raster maps, free), !Roadnav (GTK, free vector maps from Tiger and OSM, free), !GoogleEarth (Qt, proprietary vector maps, proprietary) | 08:37 |
| Metatron | what is gnome-apperanc and why is it and Xgl eathing 80-90% cpu? | 08:37 |
| corollax | jeeves__: Truth be told, I've never heard of it. | 08:38 |
| Slart | !roadnav | 08:38 |
| ubottu | roadnav is a free street mapping and GPS navigation program with spoken directions, using free data available from the U.S. Census Bureau (TIGER, at http://www.census.gov/geo/www/tiger/) and the OpenStreetMap project (at http://www.openstreetmap.org/) - An !Edgy compatible package can be downloaded at http://roadnav.sourceforge.net/ | 08:38 |
| corollax | Metatron: XGL isn't exactly known for efficiency. If at all possible, I'd try another means of graphics support. | 08:38 |
| jeeves__ | corollax, well, I need a good replacement for Streets and trips. Something that holds the same amount of maps as S & Ts, and is user friendly. I'm fighting with GPSDrive, and it looks like it'll be too hard for them | 08:39 |
| greenfishx3 | hmm ubuntu wont mount my dvd9, what do I do? | 08:39 |
| corollax | jeeves__: AHH...I imagine you've browsed synaptic for alternatives, huh? | 08:39 |
| Slart | greenfishx3: any error messagse? you did put the disc in the drive, right? =) | 08:39 |
| Metatron | hmm i think i must have switched to xgl when i was fiddling with compiz, ill look into | 08:39 |
| jeeves__ | corollax, yea. I think that I'm going to look @ roadnav. | 08:39 |
| greenfishx3 | Slart yes sir | 08:39 |
| corollax | jeeves__: Sorry I couldn't help any further! | 08:40 |
| greenfishx3 | Slart i saw the usual "browse dvd" window as well but theres no dvd icon on my desktop | 08:40 |
| Metatron | but gnome appearence was just stuck i killed it cpu back to normal | 08:40 |
| Slart | greenfishx3: oh, no need to sir me.. do you get an icon on the desktop for your other drives? | 08:40 |

| Metatron | so is there a way to monitor ltsp connections, login attempts and such? | 08:40 |
| jeeves__ | corollax, well, before I go, can you reccomend a good on-line power usage calculator? I'm looking @ building a CarPC to take care of MP3s, USB tuner, DVD/CD playback, GPS nav, and other war driving stuff. I was looking @ the small VIA boards, but I didn't know if it has enough power | 08:41 |
| === emo is now known as firda | ||
| corollax | jeeves__: Power usage calculator? Hrm... | 08:41 |
| greenfishx3 | Slart oh okay then ;) no, I mean i don thave icons on my desktop for media EXCEpt for my dvd, usually when i put a dvd in the try i see the icon on my desktop and i can cp files etc | 08:42 |
| magnetron | yesudeep, i can transfer files to my nokia using OBEX push. apparently not all devices are affected by this bug | 08:42 |
| Slart | jeeves__: via boards work nicely.. I use one for my home server | 08:42 |
| corollax | jeeves__: I don't know if this is what you're looking for, but I think powertop might do the trick | 08:42 |
| Slart | jeeves__: I have no doubt it can play dvds, run gps software etc etc | 08:42 |
| corollax | jeeves__: Or at least, it might help. | 08:42 |
| jeeves__ | corollax, I want to make sure that it has enough CPU power that it can drive a 10.2" touch screen LCD, and all the other junk I want to toss in there. it's been decided that it'll run Ubuntu (it's simple and I understnad it), and if I can shoe horn it into my MGB, it'll look good | 08:42 |
| Slart | greenfishx3: can you see the files on the dvd in nautilus? or the system just ignores it? | 08:43 |
| corollax | jeeves__: I don't know of any tool that'd let you check...but powertop WOULD help you optimize the life you have. | 08:43 |
| seravitae | hi guys im having mega problems installing ubuntu from a usb key to an sd card in my eeepc. my issue is quite complex and i've now done 6 reinstalls with no luck, so if someone could help me i'd appreciate it. | 08:43 |
| greenfishx3 | Slart I can see the files, in fact im browsing the folders as we speak through a GUI, but I cant mount it | 08:44 |
| daYZman-w | does anyone know how to update video drivers on gutsy? | 08:44 |
| jeeves__ | corollax, and since it'll be a daylight readable LCD, it has to have LARGE on-screen touchable buttons, etc. I'll still have a small (read "compact") bluetooth keyboard/mouse in the car to fiddle with it | 08:44 |
| corollax | jeeves__: Utterly out of my realm of expertise. Sorry >,< | 08:44 |
| greenfishx3 | Slart: the gui tells me the dvd is system:/media/hdb/ | 08:44 |
| greenfishx3 | slart but usually it gets auto mounted at media/cdrom0 | 08:45 |
| Slart | greenfishx3: hdb?.. sounds like your system thinks this is a harddrive, not a dvd | 08:45 |
| jeeves__ | corollax, lol, no worries. I'm a M$ systems admin by day, and hardware hacker by night. I went to school for electronic repair/engineering. I know how to make it electrically work. I just want to make sure that it'll run before I drive from BC to Ontario to see family. And I'd love to have it wardrive along the way | 08:45 |
| greenfishx3 | Slart: is the a problem? | 08:45 |
| joaopinto | daYZman-w, if you need the latest nvidia/ati driver version please use envyng | 08:46 |
| Slart | greenfishx3: nope.. not really.. but it would do stuff like what you've experienced.. it doesn't show an icon on the desktop since it isn't a dvd | 08:46 |
| === _weltall is now known as weltall | ||
| greenfishx3 | Slart: ah great. but how do I find the right path? ive checked /media there isnt any hdb | 08:47 |
| jeeves__ | ok, roadnav is out of the question. No support for Canadian maps. any other ideas guys? | 08:47 |
| Slart | jeeves__: roadnav and gpsdrive are the two gps packages I know of.. I guess running a windows app using wine might be an option | 08:48 |
| jeeves__ | Slart, lol, that kinda defeats the idea. | 08:48 |
| Zaber | i need to reinstall APT -- missing 822.pm file | 08:48 |
| Slart | greenfishx3: but.. how did you browse the dvd? | 08:48 |
| sijmen | I've upgraded from 6.06 LTS to 8.04 LTS. the upgrade seems to have gone well, but I can't access my system by SSH anymore. so I hooked up a monitor and keyboard, but even in safe mode I'm getting an invalid resolution/refresh rate near the end of the boot up | 08:49 |
| Slart | jeeves__: indeed.. | 08:49 |
| Zaber | apt-get install --reinstall apt fales | 08:49 |
| sijmen | pressing alt+ctrl+1 didn't get me into a console either | 08:49 |
| Dezine | This is annoying so maybe someone can help.. for reason, from time to time, my screen glitches out. Sometimes when I open certain programs it does it, like filezilla. Does it sound like my video card is getting ready to die? | 08:49 |
| sijmen | so I don't know how to fix this now since I can't get in remotely or locally | 08:49 |
| jeeves__ | Slart, I'm in no rush to build it. the MG isn't going anywhere | 08:49 |
| daYZman-w | joaopinto, but does envyng work in gutsy? | 08:49 |
| greenfishx3 | Slart: by using nautilius, but I prefer to use bash for most of the commands, like cp | 08:49 |

| Slart | jeeves__: I'm also waiting for a decent gps navigation app to show up.. I use gpsdrive with a laptop atm.. but it's clunky and has some weird ideas for gui and maps | 08:50 |
| jeeves__ | Slart, is there a way to input an address, etc? | 08:50 |
| Slart | greenfishx3: when you browsed the files in nautlus, what did the address bar show? | 08:50 |
| Slart | jeeves__: nope.. it only shows you images.. no navigation at all | 08:50 |
| greenfishx3 | Slart system:/media/hdb/ | 08:50 |
| jeeves__ | Slart, hummm, is there a Tom Tom version for linux? | 08:51 |
| greenfishx3 | Slart and i checked /media <-- no hdb only cdrom+floppy | 08:51 |
| user___ | orly_owl: pppoeconf maybe? | 08:51 |
| Slart | greenfishx3: and there is no folder called hdb in /media??? | 08:51 |
| greenfishx3 | Slart correct | 08:51 |
| Slart | jeeves__: there wasn't when I last looked | 08:51 |

| Slart | greenfishx3: but.. but... that can't be.. | 08:52 |
| === cari is now known as Naisenu | ||

| Slart | nivash: for whom? | 08:54 |
| greenfishx3 | slart this is an exact paste from nautilius "system:/media/hdb/" | 08:54 |
| nivash | for myself | 08:54 |
| Slart | jeeves__: nggh.. udev rules.. nope.. never messed with those | 08:55 |
| nivash | Im just installing ubuntu studio | 08:55 |
| greenfishx3 | slart i checked the gui this is even weird | 08:55 |
| greenfishx3 | slart according to my gui its mounted as a cdrom, yet when I try to cp like ive done millions of times | 08:55 |
| jeeves__ | Slart, ok, I was going to install VMware and see if they made a machine for the VIA boards | 08:55 |
| hischild | greenfishx3: if you type mount where does it say it mounted it? | 08:55 |
| WalloO | Naisenu, maybe one is opengl (3D) and your x11 driver doesn't work well. | 08:56 |
| carrera | Greetings Earthlings! :) | 08:56 |
| Slart | nivash: well.. as I see it.. you're not using office so you wont be needing that.. you're an avid emacs user so install that.. and nethack.. you play nethack night and day.. you don't need a network connection.. so remove the networking software... am I close? | 08:56 |

| erry | can u please tell me | 09:01 |
| debasys | i don't have bluetooth in my laptop | 09:01 |
| DJones | debasys: sorry, i don't use bluetooth | 09:01 |
| hischild | plouffe: that's odd. Can you restart it from the menu instead of console and see if it buggs again? | 09:01 |
| Tukotih | Lol, How often do you need BT? :p | 09:01 |
| kaushal | i'm unable to install 3gp cpnverter | 09:02 |

| plouffe | ah ok, now it froze with a bunch of crap on the screen | 09:02 |
| Tukotih | lol | 09:02 |
| DJones | debasys: no, its got a usb dongle that came with the mouse, just plugged it in and it worked fine | 09:02 |
| hischild | debasys: there's multiple wireless versions. Most use their own wireless connection because it doesn't dwar heavy on the battery allowing it to las tlong. | 09:02 |
| Tukotih | Do anyone know how you install the Creative Soundblaster Xtreme Audio Card? | 09:02 |
| debasys | hischild: oh | 09:02 |
| blankthemuffin | Hey, I'm having trouble getting ubuntu 8.04 to detect the on-board bluetooth in my inspiron 1520. Any ideas? | 09:03 |
| plouffe | hischild, glibc detected double free or corruption (out). Then it shows a backtrace and memory map over several lines. | 09:03 |
| blankthemuffin | The hardware switch has bluetooth enabled. | 09:03 |
| debasys | DJones: just to be clear, which model can u point me to, i assume u r using hardy | 09:03 |
| hischild | plouffe: from the console? | 09:03 |
| erry | Can u please tell me how to make midis work in firefox they play fine out of it but dont play in it | 09:03 |
| plouffe | yes | 09:03 |
| erry | i have timidity now | 09:03 |
| erry | and the extra thing | 09:03 |
| Tukotih | Search in the Pkg Manager, Im sure youll all find something for your bluetooths! | 09:03 |
| debasys | DJones: nevermind, all models should work fine | 09:03 |
| plouffe | it's about 500 lines of that stuff | 09:04 |
| hischild | plouffe: that sounds like either a compile gone wrong, a corrupted binary or a bug. Can you try to reproduce it by starting from console again? | 09:04 |
| Tukotih | Then check them! | 09:04 |
| DJones | debasys: This is the one I use http://www.ciao.co.uk/Microsoft_Wireless_Optical_Mouse_Mouse__6504473 | 09:04 |
| plouffe | ok | 09:04 |
| hischild | plouffe: if it crashes again you can try to reinstall it. If that doesn't fix it it sounds like a bug and i recommend filing a bugreport. | 09:05 |
| DJones | debasys: Yes, I'm using Hardy, it worked fine on Gutsy as well | 09:06 |
| debasys | DJones: ah great, thanks for all the info :) | 09:06 |
| plouffe | it just did the same thing again | 09:06 |

| hischild | plouffe: if that doesn't work we can try to compile from source. | 09:12 |

| sijmen | since a 6.06 -> 8.06 upgrade my computer seems to be switching to some resolution or refresh rate at some point at boot, even in safe mode. anything I can do? | 09:14 |
| joonasl_ | hey guys.. any estimate on when the Pidgin 2.4.3 would be available in the ubuntu repos? | 09:14 |

| joonasl_ | there is an issue with icq that is fixed in that version | 09:15 |
| blankthemuffin | Adjust your xorg.conf from the command line joonasl_. | 09:15 |
| k20a | could i use the logitech MX AIR and use the "pointer" feature on ubuntu? | 09:15 |
| Slart | joonasl_: I'd guess that considering the amount of people affected by this it will be out pretty soon | 09:15 |
| blankthemuffin | Adjust your xorg.conf from the command line sijmen even | 09:15 |

| plouffe | yes | 09:16 |
| jeeves__ | Slart, I tred that | 09:16 |
| blankthemuffin | jeeves__, top or the resource monitor | 09:16 |
| hischild | plouffe: and does it give you any output? | 09:16 |
| plouffe | been blank for 2 minutes now | 09:16 |
| plouffe | no nothing | 09:16 |
| sijmen | blankthemuffin: even in failsafe I get this. I have no idea how to get to a command line now. even alt+ctrl+# doesn't get me to a console | 09:16 |
| Slart | jeeves__: didn't find anything? | 09:16 |

| sijmen | haha | 09:17 |
| hischild | sijmen: when ctrl+alt+# doesn't give you a console, you most likely need to do a hard reboot. In single user mode (rescue mode) it never gives you extra consoles as it only has one. | 09:18 |

| jeeves__ | Slart, do you know anything about VMWare? | 09:18 |
| hischild | blankthemuffin: do dmesg | grep -i bluetooth to see if something comes up about bluetooth. Might give you a hint on what's wrong. | 09:19 |
| Slart | happy_tux: almost the same.. "ls /some/path/here > yourfilename" | 09:19 |
| plouffe | hischild, it was checking messages, then said connection to localhost failed, then the same error output. | 09:19 |

| hischild | blankthemuffin: it finds your bluetooth, now you only need the programs to use it, with which i can't help. | 09:21 |
| sijmen | maybe there is a way to boot into single user, console runlevel from grub? | 09:21 |
| plouffe | hischild, Ok thanks, just two questins: Where do I file a bug report? And how would I install from source? | 09:22 |

| ikonia | Snaury: or #ubuntu-launchpad | 09:26 |
| bullgard4 | ikonia: The export and import of common files at regular intervals will I have to organize myself, or does Evolution provide assistive routines for that? | 09:26 |

| ikonia | mount | 09:27 |

| jeeves__ | Slart, well, I'm looking to run a bunch of stuff on it though | 09:28 |
| whochismo | ikonia: but if i mount the share using one user, then all the users that use that shared folder would have the same permisions, no? | 09:28 |

| daYZman-w | does anyone know how to update video drivers on gutsy? does envyng support gutsy? | 09:37 |
| jeeves__ | Slart, and I'm thinking that 2-4Gb of RAM would REALLY help though. | 09:37 |
| Slart | avis: workstation cards have drivers that focus more on opengl 2d acceleration.. correct graphics instead of speed etc | 09:38 |
| ikonia | avis: I could badge any desktop card as a "workstation" card | 09:38 |

| Slart | jeeves__: not necessarily.. if you're not using it for something special.. more than 1 GB or RAM might be overkill | 09:38 |

| ApOgEE- | GTS, goto System>Preferences>Keyboard | 09:55 |
| DistroJockey | C00re, probably sun-java6-jdk then | 09:55 |

| C00re | DistroJockey: okej, ty | 09:55 |
| DistroJockey | C00re, np | 09:55 |
| ikonia | daYZman-w: what video card do you have | 09:56 |
| ApOgEE- | GTS, check wether you are using the correct keyboard | 09:56 |
| daYZman-w | ikonia, nvidia: geforce 8 | 09:56 |
| ikonia | daYZman-w: which model | 09:56 |

| ikonia | daYZman-w: and your running gutsy | 09:56 |
| GTS | Still not working correctly | 09:56 |
| Zaber | nothing -- just ran an Update | 09:56 |
| C00re | apt-get install sun-java6-jdk works? heh. i tried "apt-get install java" .. shouldnt it have matched ? =D | 09:57 |
| daYZman-w | ikonia, yes i am. | 09:57 |
| Zaber | my sys is pretty clean -- and fairly new | 09:57 |
| ikonia | daYZman-w: and you've tried the nvidia-glx-new package ? | 09:57 |
| DistroJockey | C00re, did you hit tab twice? | 09:57 |
| DistroJockey | C00re, after typing java that is | 09:57 |
| C00re | dunno, its downloadingand installing now anyway | 09:57 |
| daYZman-w | ikonia, hmm i haven't got that any more. it got deleted after updating nvidia-glx | 09:57 |
| C00re | :D | 09:57 |
| GTS | What would i be doing rong? | 09:58 |
| ikonia | daYZman-w: so apt-cache search nvidia-glx-new doesn't give a ressult ? | 09:58 |
| ApOgEE- | daYZman-w, envy do support gutsy | 09:58 |
| ikonia | ApOgEE-: envy is not supported | 09:58 |
| Zaber | ikonia, my sys is pretty clean -- and fairly new | 09:59 |
| ikonia | Zaber: yes, I saw that | 09:59 |
| DistroJockey | C00re, I get a different list if I hit tab twice after java compared with after sun :) | 09:59 |
| daYZman-w | ikonia, oh it does. it's just not in my PATH | 09:59 |
| ikonia | daYZman-w: what's not in your PATH ? | 09:59 |
| daYZman-w | ikonia, i mean /usr/bin | 09:59 |
| ikonia | daYZman-w: what's not in /usr/bin ? | 09:59 |
| daYZman-w | ikonia, nvidia-glx-new | 10:00 |
| ikonia | daYZman-w: thats not a command | 10:00 |
| ApOgEE- | ikonia, isn't in here? http://albertomilone.com/nvidia_scripts1.html | 10:00 |
| daYZman-w | ApOgEE-, really? when i tried installing it, it complains about the version of perl-central to be installed being too old. | 10:00 |
| ikonia | ApOgEE-: no - Ubuntu does not support envy | 10:00 |
| Zaber | ikonia, should i simply reinstall perl? or is this an addon to perl thats the problem ? | 10:01 |
| ikonia | daYZman-w: install the nvidia-glx-new package | 10:01 |
| daYZman-w | ikonia, okay | 10:01 |
| ikonia | Zaber: how are you going to re-install perl if your package manager is not working ? | 10:01 |
| ApOgEE- | ikonia, ok | 10:01 |
| Zaber | perl.deb ? | 10:01 |
| daYZman-w | ikonia, but it'll then remove nvidia-glx, is that ok? | 10:01 |
| amerinese | how can i get my terminal to use the SHIFT KEY to highlight?, i.e. SHIFT+HOME highlights everything from the cursor to the beginning? | 10:01 |
| ikonia | daYZman-w: if you chose to | 10:01 |
| ikonia | Zaber: I wouldn't, thats your call | 10:02 |
| daYZman-w | ikonia, what's the difference between nvidia-glx and nvidia-glx-new | 10:02 |
| ApOgEE- | GTS, maybe a restart will do | 10:02 |
| ikonia | Zaber: I'm more concerned at why all of a sudden the perl modules that apt uses have bugs - something on your system has changed the perl config | 10:02 |
| ikonia | daYZman-w: newer drivers | 10:02 |
| Zaber | i guess i could always go back to Windows -- that seems to work pretty well. | 10:02 |

| Tukotih | Windows Suxx nowadays | 10:03 |

| Zaber | i have less random prbs w/ windows than ubuntu :/ | 10:03 |
| ikonia | Zaber: ok, thats an option you can happily take | 10:03 |
| Zaber | ikonia, i don't know -- all i did was run the update | 10:03 |
| Tukotih | Is it just me that got 147 new updates this morning? | 10:04 |
| Zaber | was replying to someone else on that | 10:04 |
| ikonia | Tukotih: that depends on how long it's been between updates for you | 10:04 |
| Tukotih | I updated yesterday... | 10:04 |
| hellppme | hi | 10:04 |
| Tukotih | and today there was 147 new | 10:04 |
| spdf | o.O | 10:05 |
| spdf | I had 5, I think. | 10:05 |
| hellppme | has anyone run citrix xencenter in ubuntu desktop? | 10:05 |
| ikonia | Tukotih: depends what you've got installed, I didn't have 147 updates installed, but I have a reasonable small system | 10:05 |
| psilocyde | im getting an error in apt, says another instance is running | 10:05 |
| Tukotih | Oh, Mine is reasonably big | 10:05 |

| RonLut | How do I update pidgin in ubuntu to 2.4.3? | 10:05 |
| daYZman-w | ikonia, i see. but the version synaptic says is 100.14.19. is it the latest? the one on nvidia's site is 173.14.05 | 10:05 |
| psilocyde | how do i purg? | 10:05 |
| hellppme | can someone help me run citrix xencenter? | 10:05 |
| Tukotih | Got Ubuntu, Kubuntu, Ubuntustudio, Xubuntu and something else i have no idea of what it is... | 10:05 |
| ikonia | daYZman-w: thats correct, thats the latest version supported/available in gutsy | 10:05 |
| ikonia | RonLut: ubuntu will be releasing an update soon | 10:06 |
| RonLut | ikonia: thanks ;) | 10:06 |
| DistroJockey | psilocyde, is Synaptic or apt-get running elsewhere? | 10:06 |
| Darthreborn | i just installed awn from synaptic but when i run from aplications menu nothing happens | 10:06 |
| psilocyde | apt | 10:06 |
| daYZman-w | ikonia, right. so can i not get anything newer than 100.14.19 on gutsy? | 10:06 |
| ikonia | why do you want somethign that new ? | 10:06 |
| ikonia | daYZman-w: newer is not always better | 10:06 |
| TGD | Am i able to have mutiple ubuntus using WUBI so like ubuntu kubuntu and ubuntu studio? | 10:07 |
| psilocyde | sorry trying to run adept | 10:07 |
| spdf | Darthreborn: Try running it from a terminal | 10:07 |
| psilocyde | Another process is using the packaging system database (probably some other Adept application or apt-get or aptitude). | 10:07 |
| spdf | Darthreborn: avant-window-navigator | 10:07 |
| daYZman-w | ikonia, the reason i'm updating is that Xorg eats up too much CPU power than it's supposed to. even when FF waits for a page to load, it eats up about 20% | 10:07 |
| Tukotih | Lol, Newer is indeed not better, When i updated to the latest DirectX in windows, My diablo 2 stopped working :/ | 10:07 |
| daYZman-w | and that happened using 100.14.19 | 10:08 |
| Darthreborn | spfd it gives this error Error: Screen isn't composited. Please run compiz (-fusion) or another compositing manager. | 10:08 |
| dejiko | depends on your card if newer is better | 10:08 |
| ikonia | daYZman-w: so how do you know it's a driver, have you tried using the vesa or nv driver to test this before making random suggestions its the nvidia driver | 10:08 |
| Tukotih | Well, A newer card means that the drivers for linux might not be ready yet, Which does not make it better... | 10:09 |
| dejiko | that's a risk with too new cards, true | 10:09 |
| mib_wnbekea5 | Hi! | 10:09 |
| spdf | Darthreborn: You'll need to enable the composited desktop. Its in the Appearance app, under the effects tab I believe | 10:09 |
| Tukotih | But you had a point too :p | 10:09 |
| mib_wnbekea5 | i need som help.. | 10:09 |
| Tukotih | You never play high graphic games in Linux :p | 10:10 |
| spdf | Darthreborn: Sorry I can't be less vague, ssh'd right now.. | 10:10 |
| mib_wnbekea5 | i have just installed geonetwork on ubuntu | 10:10 |
| ikonia | Tukotih: graphics cards are not just for games | 10:10 |
| Tukotih | good for u | 10:10 |
| dejiko | just noticed with my old laptop which has a GeForceFX 5200Go | 10:10 |
| Tukotih | I know | 10:10 |
| psilocyde | DistroJocky im getting errors adept updater refuses to finish updating, it stoped at 20% on sun java. it "froze" and had to kill it. now i get an error when trying to run it | 10:10 |

| mib_wnbekea5 | and when it was all correct.. | 10:10 |

| TGD | Maby when downloading on Wubi it dont work properly | 10:14 |
| mib_wnbekea5 | when i star t the web i can't see the world map... | 10:14 |
| ikonia | I doubt that, but as wubi is not a true hardware platform, hal may behave differently | 10:14 |
| mib_wnbekea5 | could that be a problem of java? | 10:14 |
| Zaber | line 65 of 822.pm which is causing the error "$value=~s/\\n/\n/g;" | 10:15 |
| TGD | Well does hal do anything atal? | 10:15 |
| minimec | mib_wnbekea5: Start the software in a console and see if you get some error messages or something | 10:15 |
| joaopinto | ikonia, WUBI is a real hardware plataform. only the filesystem media is different | 10:15 |
| Darthreborn | spdf: before u give a response i wrote compiz on command line and my linux crashed, i had to reload the entire interface :( | 10:15 |
| ikonia | joaopinto: it's for want of a better word, "virtualised" | 10:16 |
| spdf | Darthreborn: No worries, if you go your System menu, and fine Appearance | 10:16 |
| joaopinto | TGD, what about describing your problem ? | 10:16 |
| spdf | Darthreborn: find*, try enabling there.. I'm not 100% on where exactly there, under the Effects tab perhaps.. | 10:17 |
| TGD | My problem was hal was giving errors on post-installation script | 10:17 |
| joaopinto | ikonia, wubi is not virtualized neither related to virtualization in any way | 10:17 |

| Xavura | Erm | 10:19 |
| blankthemuffin | Do you have a nvidia card reZo? | 10:20 |
| Xavura | why is me very new Ubuntu installation have a trojan | 10:20 |
| Xavura | or a virus | 10:20 |
| sway | ubuntu does not have a trojan nor a virus | 10:20 |
| joaopinto | Xavura, uhh ? | 10:20 |
| Xavura | This host is listed in dnsbl.ahbl.org | 10:20 |
| Xavura | IP address in ip4r format: 165.3.129.81.dnsbl.ahbl.org | 10:20 |
| Xavura | Reason: | 10:20 |
| Xavura | The machine on this IP address has an insecure proxy, or could possibly be infected with a virus or trojan. | 10:20 |
| Xavura | No idea what that means | 10:20 |
| dejiko | that doesnt mean it has a virus or trojan | 10:20 |
| Xavura | but I get it when connecting to a lot of major IRC networks | 10:20 |
| Xavura | Well | 10:20 |
| joaopinto | Xavura, "insecure proxy" may be possible, if you didn't setup it properly | 10:20 |
| dejiko | its _possible_ | 10:20 |
| Xavura | but | 10:20 |
| Xavura | I've been using it fine for 2 weeks until now | 10:20 |
| dejiko | just a general warning | 10:20 |
| Xavura | I haven't downloaded anything | 10:20 |
| Xavura | without using the package manager | 10:21 |
| reZo | blankthemuffin: indeed, geforce 7900 gt/gto | 10:21 |
| ikonia | dejiko: contact the list owner | 10:21 |
| Xavura | so there's no way I can have a virus or anything | 10:21 |
| ikonia | dejiko: as in the rbl list owner | 10:21 |
| greatauk | DaveKong, you know what the applet is called? I've got a "windows list" applet already running | 10:21 |
| blankthemuffin | reZo, there is a nvidia specific one and the generic - dpkg-reconfigure xserver-xorg | 10:21 |
| sway | how the hell would someone get a virus or trojan on ubuntu | 10:21 |
| sway | trojans arent even capable on ubuntu | 10:21 |
| sway | as far as i know | 10:21 |
| dejiko | ikonia, it was Xavura :) | 10:21 |
| reZo | okay awesome, i'll try generic first | 10:21 |
| greatauk | DaveKong, but I only have it show me windows for my current workspace ... I'm looking for a keyboard/mouse shortcut to show me all windows... | 10:21 |
| Xavura | Well | 10:21 |
| mgolisch | why not? | 10:21 |
| Kartagis | does nopaste exist on any of the ubuntu repos? | 10:21 |

| ikonia | dejiko: thanks | 10:22 |
| DaveKong | greatauk if you use Windows Selector you can choose it to show windows for all your desktops | 10:22 |
| mgolisch | Kartagis: you mean a script to paste stuff to a nopaste service? there is pastebinit in the repos | 10:22 |
| ikonia | Xavura: contact the list owner and find out what the problem is | 10:22 |
| greatauk | DaveKong, ah, got it, Windows Selector | 10:22 |
| reZo | blankthemuffin: works perfect :D | 10:22 |

| RonLut | I have a problem: I use a ntfs partition as my music library (shared partition for windows and linux) but after every reboot it changes it's name and then I have to import my music again to the music player.... how can I set it to have the same name and place forever? | 10:23 |
| ufk | hi | 10:23 |
| DaveKong | greatauk: np glad I could help | 10:23 |

| Wispring | may I please get some guidance on how to copy/paste a folder and it's two sub-folders from a directory I have access too... too a folder that has root only permissions? | 10:24 |
| lordrommel | arrrrg | 10:24 |
| TGD | login as root | 10:24 |
| === lordrommel is now known as kaliMastah | ||
| ikonia | Wispring: sudo cp -R $source $dest | 10:25 |
| prashant | need xorg.conf help | 10:25 |
| ikonia | TGD: no | 10:25 |
| ikonia | TGD: you don't "login" as root | 10:25 |
| prashant | how do I disable the internal keyboard on my laptop (i use a usb keyboard) | 10:25 |
| TGD | Dont you? i though there was a way? | 10:25 |
| Wispring | thanks Ikonia i knew it was a sudo thing just didn't know what to do | 10:25 |
| prashant | googling hasn't helped | 10:25 |
| kaliMastah | seems firefox getting a lot of my ram and cpu | 10:25 |
| ikonia | TGD: you "don't" | 10:25 |
| minimec | ufk: Not the account, but the messages I guess. Maybe by exporting Outlook->Thunderbird on XP, and then Thunderbird->Evolution | 10:25 |
| kaliMastah | does firefox in ubuntu has a bug? | 10:25 |
| jasdevan | TGD: you don't log on as root with ubuntu, you use "sudo" instead. | 10:25 |
| Metatron | anyone familiar with ltsp-manager failing to start? gives a number off errors | 10:26 |
| TGD | ahh | 10:26 |
| dejiko | kaliMastah, its a huge program so of course it has bugs | 10:26 |
| TGD | Why is ubuntu faster than XP? | 10:26 |
| Wispring | the -R means recursive ....right? | 10:26 |
| kaliMastah | im having some problem with memory usage | 10:26 |
| ikonia | TGD: it's not, the speed varies on it's use | 10:26 |
| ikonia | Wispring: thats right | 10:26 |
| kaliMastah | firefox seems slowing my ubuntu | 10:26 |
| Johnny_5 | actually there is a way but its recomended u use sudo | 10:26 |
| Wispring | ok i am so on it | 10:27 |
| Wispring | thanks | 10:27 |
| TGD | Well my CPU has spiked to 100% and on XP it would have crashed | 10:27 |
| ikonia | Wispring: you may want to use "-Rp" to kee the source permissions | 10:27 |
| ikonia | TGD: yes, and ? | 10:27 |
| dejiko | Wispring, try "man cp" in a terminal | 10:27 |
| TGD | And im at 100% now and it seems normal | 10:27 |
| ikonia | TGD: if your CPU is running at %100, your machine is on it's knees and I assure you not behaving normally | 10:28 |
| kaliMastah | TGD: how much ram you got? | 10:28 |
| TGD | 1 gig | 10:28 |
| kaliMastah | ahhh thats why | 10:28 |
| TGD | What | 10:28 |
| Wispring | ok looks like it's -R-p then | 10:28 |
| kaliMastah | so do you agree that ubuntu is not doing well below 1gig? | 10:28 |
| ikonia | Wispring: just "-Rp" | 10:29 |
| ufk | k thanks | 10:29 |
| minimec | prashant: your laptop keyboard is configured in /etc/X11/xorg.conf as 'generic Keyboard' with 'option CoreKeyBoard', I guess. You can conifgure a 2nd Keyboard (your USB Board) and set this one with 'option SendCoreEvents'. Then you can use both | 10:29 |
| TGD | Ubuntu - 1gig = tourtoise | 10:29 |
| ikonia | TGD: pardon ? | 10:29 |
| TGD | Also my CPU is only 1.8 ghz | 10:29 |
| dejiko | 1 gig is plenty for ubuntu | 10:29 |
| Wispring | umm i am a newbie how do get "out" of the man and back to the prompt | 10:30 |
| TGD | If you have less that 1 gig for ubuntu its a toirtoise | 10:30 |
| ikonia | Wispring: "q" | 10:30 |
| dejiko | only using 565 MiB with all kind of stuff running | 10:30 |
| Wispring | thanks | 10:30 |
| ikonia | TGD: please don't talk nonsense | 10:30 |
| blankthemuffin | Ubuntu runs fine on 256MB, although the installer is kinda dodgy. | 10:30 |
| DistroJockey | kaliMastah, Mem: 1554736k total, 993076k used, 561660k free, 19432k buffers (that's with quite a few things open/running) | 10:30 |
| rgnr | hi all | 10:31 |
| blankthemuffin | Yeah I'm only using 400MB with compiz, xchat, pidgin, firefox, others | 10:31 |
| rgnr | compiling pidgin from the source | 10:31 |
| rgnr | need hlp | 10:31 |
| rgnr | http://paste.org.ru/?usx3f5 | 10:31 |
| DJones | TGD: I run Ubuntu on a 512Mb machine and it never has a problem, thats running AWN, conky, Firefox, Evolution, Pan, SSH & Irssi, Pidgin + others | 10:31 |
| rgnr | cant' make | 10:31 |
| sway | Ubuntu is awesome at running on machines that arent that great | 10:31 |
| TGD | Yer but what CPU you got? | 10:32 |
| kaliMastah | DJones: pigin is constantly crashing | 10:32 |
| DJones | TGD: a 1.2 ghz processor | 10:32 |
| greenfishx3 | is there a command to list a whole directory for subfolders? ex: my backup folder contains over 300 folders, is there a command to list all of the folders and/if theres a sub folder in one of those as well? | 10:32 |
| kaliMastah | sway my machine is running great...now ubuntu is proving it otherwise | 10:32 |
| prashant | minimec: thanks. I can use both at the same time already. what I want is to disable the internal one as it has a stuck key. | 10:32 |
| blankthemuffin | I have a Celeron single core 1.8 or so with 256MB of DDR400 and it runs fine. You can't say 1GB is not enough. This is ubuntu not vista. | 10:32 |
| TGD | Thats worse than mine (no offense- i moan about my CPU) | 10:33 |
| kaliMastah | sway: thanks for the tip | 10:33 |
| rgnr | any1 plz? | 10:33 |
| TGD | Lol vista | 10:33 |
| Gurpartap | greenfishx3, ls --help | 10:33 |
| Slart | greenfishx3: ls -r ? check the man page for ls, "man ls", or "ls --help" | 10:33 |
| TGD | I laugh at microsoft about vista | 10:33 |
| kaliMastah | ubuntu vs vista | 10:33 |
| kaliMastah | hmmm | 10:33 |
| TGD | Ubuntu | 10:33 |
| greenfishx3 | thanks Gurpartap and Slart | 10:33 |
| Slart | greenfishx3: sorry.. it's ls -R | 10:33 |
| blankthemuffin | oh shit I've started a fanboy war. | 10:33 |
| ikonia | TGD: again- please stop talking nonsense | 10:33 |
| ikonia | TGD: this is an ubuntu support channel | 10:33 |
| ikonia | blankthemuffin: watch the language please | 10:33 |
| Zaber | so, there's no way to fix the package-manager in Ubuntu? | 10:33 |
| Zaber | need to do a full reinstall of the OS | 10:34 |
| Zaber | ? | 10:34 |
| sway | probably | 10:34 |
| minimec | prashant: So if you configured the usb board as CoreKeyboard and delete the 'generic keyboard' entry in xorg.conf? | 10:34 |
| kaliMastah | why does my pidgin and some movie player crashes when i run this ubuntu for a longer time? | 10:34 |
| sway | that seems like it might be the easiest way | 10:34 |
| ikonia | Zaber: can you pastebin the perl module it's moaning about please. | 10:34 |
| DistroJockey | Zaber, you upgraded from 6.06 right? | 10:34 |
| ikonia | kaliMastah: define crash, does it just dissapear, error, hang ? | 10:34 |
| blankthemuffin | Yeah my pidgin crashes after a few hours too kaliMastah. | 10:34 |
| blankthemuffin | It just dies, no errors. | 10:35 |
| kaliMastah | it just quit without any message ikonia | 10:35 |
| Wispring | I don't even compare ubuntu to visa...ubuntu is free and with some work and self education will do anything that visa can do...even run many windows only apps using wine | 10:35 |
| kaliMastah | wine sucks | 10:35 |
| blankthemuffin | Wispring, I don't think we really need to start a ms vs everybody argument do we? | 10:35 |
| kaliMastah | cant even install something on it...or i am just a noob | 10:35 |
| Zaber | same one you have " /usr/share/perl5/Debconf/Format/822.pm" -- line 65 | 10:35 |
| dejiko | wine is doing its job | 10:35 |
| TGD | Wine is ok not good for games installing is easy | 10:35 |
| Wispring | must say though it's been a learning experience | 10:35 |
| Danskmand | Kali: Wine is good and tasty ! | 10:35 |
| Slart | kaliMastah: hmmm.. you said it.. =) | 10:35 |
| ikonia | Zaber: can you pastebin that module please I want to see if it is the same | 10:36 |
| recoveringuser | pidgin wins | 10:36 |
| kaliMastah | hey what can we do with pidgin crashing and movie player that is so slow? | 10:36 |
| sway | I got a xchat question... is it possible to space out what everyone is saying? like can I have it not look so cluttered? | 10:36 |
| recoveringuser | ok bitches i've totally converted from windows to linux | 10:36 |
| === azingo is now known as aks | ||
| ikonia | kaliMastah: is the syslog mentioning anything | 10:36 |
| sway | linux isnt that hard to convert to | 10:36 |
| prashant | minimec: I didnt make any changes for the USB keyboard, just plugged it in and it works. I however deleted the generic keyboard entry in xorg.conf which had no effect at all. | 10:36 |
| RonLut | I have a problem: I use a ntfs partition as my music library (shared partition for windows and linux) but after every reboot it changes it's name and then I have to import my music again to the music player.... how can I set it to have the same name and place forever? | 10:36 |
| recoveringuser | now the task of taking all my ntfs partitions, copying data off and formatting them to ext3 | 10:36 |
| ikonia | recoveringuser: STOP with that attitude | 10:36 |
| ne2k__ | sway: I still think it is | 10:36 |
| kaliMastah | nothing ikonia | 10:36 |
| recoveringuser | got rid of XP completely | 10:36 |
| Zaber | i just got a copy from pastebin tonight from someone else as i deleted it earlier -- i was having the same problem before i restored the pastebin version | 10:36 |
| zcat[1] | I find almost nothing works in wine.. about the only thing that ever does is OSS programs that I could be running natively anyhow! | 10:36 |
| ikonia | recoveringuser: that the worst way to introduce your self and ask for help. Please watch the language | 10:36 |
| kaliMastah | its just quit without messages | 10:36 |
| sway | it takes time to get used to | 10:36 |
| DistroJockey | ikonia, this is the one I gave Zaber : http://pastebin.com/f5c7cd7d3 | 10:36 |
| gabbler | ronlut: use uuid and fstab | 10:36 |
| recoveringuser | ??? | 10:37 |
| blankthemuffin | sway, you might be able to get that effect simply by changing the font / size. | 10:37 |
| ikonia | DistroJockey: ahh so you've checked its the same | 10:37 |
| sway | sure ill change that blank | 10:37 |
| amerinese | does anyone know a mms audio stream player that allows jumping to a specific time in the stream? | 10:37 |
| RonLut | gabbler: I don't know what you are talking about :( what should I do exactly? | 10:37 |
| ikonia | recoveringuser: "ok Bitches" - uncalled for | 10:37 |
| recoveringuser | i have an awesome attitude, wtf | 10:37 |
| jasdevan | rgnr: Looks like it's because you are missing NetworkManager headers and need to install those. | 10:37 |
| Zaber | http://pastebin.com/f5c7cd7d3 | 10:37 |
| recoveringuser | ?? | 10:37 |
| ne2k__ | ikonia: errm, I don't think he was asking for help | 10:37 |
| ikonia | recoveringuser: phrases like "wtf" are also not weclome | 10:37 |
| amerinese | vnc and totem both seem to be pretty broken in this respect | 10:37 |
| dejiko | zcat[1], even FuturePinball works in wine | 10:37 |
| ikonia | !coc | recoveringuser | 10:37 |
| ubottu | recoveringuser: The Ubuntu Code of Conduct to which we ask all Ubuntu users to adhere can be found at http://www.ubuntu.com/community/conduct/ | 10:37 |
| recoveringuser | sorry | 10:37 |
| DistroJockey | ikonia, Zaber said it was not present/deleted and asked for a copy | 10:37 |
| doktoreas | hello everybody | 10:37 |
| Zaber | yes -- i deleted it | 10:37 |
| zcat[1] | dejiko: nothing I've wanted to run has ever worked though. | 10:37 |
| recoveringuser | let me start over, hello my name is earl | 10:37 |
| ikonia | DistroJockey: oooh wow, I missed that part | 10:37 |
| recoveringuser | i am am recovering windows addict | 10:37 |
| ikonia | Zaber: you deleted it | 10:37 |
| Danskmand | I got the problem with pidgin that it cannot connect to ICQ "your client is to old" - Pidgin 2.4.3 would do the trick, but its not in the resources for apt-get.....Do you know what to do besides installing it by hand ? | 10:38 |
| Zaber | yes | 10:38 |
| gordonjcp | ikonia: what's wrong with "wtf"? | 10:38 |
| prashant | ikonia: come on.. 'ok bitches' is not directed to anyone. | 10:38 |
| Zaber | then restored it from pastebin | 10:38 |
| ikonia | Zaber: would have been helpful if you mentioned that | 10:38 |
| recoveringuser | yea really who is ikonia? | 10:38 |
| dejiko | zcat[1], that's of course possible | 10:38 |
| doktoreas | I am customizing the ubuntu livecd and I'd like to change the splash image shown during the loading | 10:38 |
| recoveringuser | police officer? | 10:38 |
| Kartagis | recoveringuser: hello my name is randy | 10:38 |
| Zaber | it doesnt matter | 10:38 |
| doktoreas | how cna I do that? | 10:38 |
| ikonia | gordonjcp: it's classed as offensice | 10:38 |
| ikonia | prashant: doesn't matter - it's not acceptable language | 10:38 |
| gabbler | ronlut: you can use sudo blkid to get the uuid of your ntfs partition and then edit /etc/fstab to add that ntfs partition in with the uuid you have just found | 10:38 |
| gordonjcp | ikonia: how on earth is that offensive? | 10:38 |
| recoveringuser | actually its not earl but i feel like it is when people like ikonia get onto me | 10:38 |
| ikonia | gordonjcp: because of what it means | 10:38 |
| recoveringuser | i'm sorry mommy | 10:38 |
| gordonjcp | ikonia: and, who classes it as offensive? | 10:38 |
| jasdevan | rgnr: sudo apt-get install network-manager-dev should give you the ones you need. | 10:38 |
| ikonia | gordonjcp: ubuntu code of conduct | 10:38 |
| Zaber | i deleted it w/ the idea that i can restore it from universe | 10:38 |
| ikonia | !wtf | gordonjcp | 10:38 |
| Zaber | that didn't work | 10:38 |
| DistroJockey | ikonia, Zaber : was thinking permissions may have been an issue | 10:38 |
| Zaber | so i got it here | 10:38 |
| gordonjcp | ikonia: so "what's that for" is offensive? | 10:39 |
| Zaber | root root | 10:39 |
| ubottu | gordonjcp: Please watch your language and topic to help keep this channel family friendly. | 10:39 |
| ikonia | gordonjcp: thats not the common phrase for it, | 10:39 |
| Wispring | you know like over 10 years ago I had windows,linux,beos on a a 500mhz celeron grub triple-boot system... just to see if I could do it. It's kind of fun to see if you can get technological things to work the way you would like them to. | 10:39 |
| sway | i think if your computer is crashing from ubuntu, and you admit to having a weak machine maybe you should try Kubuntu, which is meant for machines with real bad specs from what im told | 10:39 |
| sway | i however, only use ubuntu | 10:39 |
| ikonia | Zaber: ok, I missed that part of the earlier conversation | 10:39 |
| ne2k__ | recoveringuser: this is IRC, not instant messenger. please don't use the enter key as punctuation | 10:39 |
| zcat[1] | dejiko: but for the most part I prefer to run OSS software anyway and that's all available native. | 10:39 |
| ronny | hi | 10:39 |
| Slart | sway: hmm.. xubuntu might be what you were thinking of | 10:39 |
| recoveringuser | i want to play civ4 this sucks | 10:39 |
| sway | Slart, chances are youre right | 10:39 |
| recoveringuser | cedega crossover , wine, ???wtf | 10:39 |
| dejiko | zcat[1], then you're lucky ^^ | 10:39 |
| sway | what is the purpose os Kubuntu then? | 10:39 |
| ikonia | recoveringuser: again - please stop with the "wtf" comments | 10:40 |
| blankthemuffin | You want games, you don't want ubuntu recoveringuser. | 10:40 |
| sway | haha i got them confused | 10:40 |
| recoveringuser | all the same to me , i just want a quick way | 10:40 |
| minimec | prashant: It should be possible to configure your keyboard as 'CoreKeyboard'. And... not having a CoreKeyBoard in xorg.conf should give errors starting the X-Server. | 10:40 |
| DistroJockey | Zaber, mines root root also so that's fine | 10:40 |
| Slart | sway: just uses KDE instead of gnome | 10:40 |
| gordonjcp | recoveringuser: wine is probably agood bet if you want to run Windows-only software | 10:40 |
| recoveringuser | nah dude, i want ubuntu, trust me | 10:40 |
| recoveringuser | i just want 1 game | 10:40 |
| sway | Oh i see | 10:40 |
| ronny | i managed to bork my sudoers file, is there any way to change it without needing to boot form external media ? (su/sudo wont work any more) | 10:40 |
| gordonjcp | ronny: not really, no | 10:40 |
| ikonia | ronny: boot recovery mode from grub | 10:40 |
| zcat[1] | recoveringuser: quickest answer for running windows programs is easy; run them in windows! | 10:40 |
| recoveringuser | nah, maybe wine | 10:40 |
| Slart | sway: KDE 4 is supposed to be a bit slimmer than gnome.. but I think KDE 3, which kubunt still uses afaik, is about equal with gnome when it comes to system requirements | 10:40 |
| ne2k__ | recoveringuser: as you already have windows, why not run it in windows? | 10:40 |
| gordonjcp | ronny: or at least, you'll need to boot to single-user mode | 10:40 |
| gabbler | ronny: have you tried visudo | 10:40 |
| ronny | btw, why is there no real password for root users ? | 10:40 |
| recoveringuser | windows is gone, poof | 10:40 |
| sway | I see | 10:41 |
| gordonjcp | gabbler: won't work if sudo is broken | 10:41 |
| Kartagis | ronny: no | 10:41 |
| zcat[1] | have a 'wintendo' partition that you play games in.. | 10:41 |
| ne2k__ | ronny: you can set one with passwd | 10:41 |
| blankthemuffin | recoveringuser, you either check out the wine support online, there are howtos/etc for pretty much every game. Or you use windows. | 10:41 |
| Slart | ronny: because in ubuntu you're not supposed to use the root account | 10:41 |
| amerinese | anyone know how i can map keys for the terminal? i'd like to map SHIFT+arrow to select text? | 10:41 |
| recoveringuser | ok :) | 10:41 |
| ronny | Slart: whats that for a cheap excuse ? | 10:41 |
| recoveringuser | ronny fang | 10:41 |
| sway | Slart is right, dont log into the root account | 10:41 |
| Wispring | i was wondering if it's possible to change the kernal for the ubuntu install to the kernal for umm mediaubuntu(?)or whatever it's called | 10:41 |
| ronny | well, gona reboot | 10:41 |
| ronny | brb | 10:41 |
| Slart | ronny: well.. it's the excuse the ubuntu designers used.. | 10:41 |
| recoveringuser | fang is the last name of a web host friend | 10:42 |
| kovan | how do i connecto to a vmware server from ubuntu? | 10:42 |
| ne2k__ | Slart: btw, what /is/ the password of the root account by default? | 10:43 |
| RonLut | gabbler: I don't really know what should I add to that file and where.... this partition is: /dev/sda4: UUID="4DFF783C46F3D041" TYPE="ntfs" | 10:43 |
| Slart | ne2k__: it's disabled by default.. no password | 10:43 |
| dejiko | Wispring, i guess you mean the real-time kernel? | 10:43 |
| zcat[1] | the reason vista has all this new 'UAC' crap and doesn't run everything as admin is because it's a really bad idea security wise; *NIX users have always known this, it just took MSFT about 15 years longer to figure that out.. | 10:43 |
| ne2k__ | Slart: but no password means you can log in by typing no password, not that you can't log in | 10:43 |
| Slart | ne2k__: check the password/shadow file.. there is no hash defined for root.. just disabled | 10:43 |
| gordonjcp | ne2k__: there isn't a password set | 10:43 |
| Slart | ne2k__: and no.. a blank password still has a hash, afaik | 10:44 |
| ne2k__ | ah yes. I get it now | 10:44 |
| ne2k__ | the has isn't blank, it's * | 10:44 |
| Wispring | probably dejiko the one optiized for sound and video production | 10:44 |
| prashant | minimec: ok i'll google for corekeyboard and configure the usb as corekeyboard | 10:44 |
| amerinese | ok hmm... anyone know how to map keys to behaviors for the terminal in general? the mappings for a bunch of keys are broken relative to conventions used in GUI apps these days | 10:44 |
| prashant | whoops | 10:44 |
| Wispring | is the one I am thinking about | 10:44 |
| minimec | prashant: Example for a USB Keyboard as 'Core' http://paste.ubuntu.com/24424/ | 10:44 |
| Zaber | heres what happened: 1) ran updates, 2) added repos for "ubuntu tweak", 3) did apt-get update | upgrade -- got errors, 3) googled, googled, googled -- 4) removed "ubuntu tweak" repos from etc/apt/sources.list, 5) tried installing additional software / updates -- problem persisted -- 6) removed 822.pm, 7) problem worse, 8) asked for 822.pm from group -- pastebin, 9) saved in location //usr/share/perl5/Debconf/Format/822.pm, 10) s | 10:44 |
| Zaber | udo chown root:root 822.pm -- 11) tried to run updates again -- same error | 10:44 |
| Slart | ne2k__: ah.. yes.. there was a * there... =) | 10:45 |
| zcat[1] | wtf is ubuntu tweak ? | 10:45 |
| ikonia | guys can we please stop with "wtf" | 10:45 |

| Slart | RonLut: open /etc/fstab... replace the /dev/sd? with the UUID= string | 10:47 |
| ikonia | Zaber: out of interest - why did you do that, | 10:47 |
| Slart | !uuid | RonLut | 10:47 |
| ubottu | RonLut: 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) | 10:47 |
| Zaber | to see what would happen | 10:47 |
| gabbler | ronlut: btw the locale is optional | 10:47 |
| Zaber | doesn't matter; problem same as before | 10:47 |
| ikonia | Zaber: to see what would happen ? | 10:48 |

| benvlatout | benvlatout | 10:50 |
| kaliMastah | firefox is doing some crazy thing with my ubuntu | 10:50 |
| ikonia | Zaber: the best thing I can suggest you do is find someone who is running ubuntu 8..04 with the 2.6.24-16 kernel so you have a reasonable guess that they are at the same update level as you and replace that file | 10:50 |
| Slart | pvh_sa|wrk: reinstall firefox? "sudo apt-get install --reinstall firefox" ... might be a plugin that causing you problems too.. there is a safe start switch.. try firefox --help for syntax | 10:50 |

| pvh_sa|wrk | Slart, tried -safe-mode. no luck | 10:51 |
| ikonia | Zaber: no, re-read what I said. Find someone who's running the same kernel as you so that you have a reasonable guess they are at the same update status as you | 10:51 |
| pvh_sa|wrk | Slart, but thanks, i'll try the reinstall | 10:51 |
| prashant | minimec: Thanks a lot! It worked. The internal keyboard is now only working on the consoles 1-6. Xorg ignores it. | 10:51 |
| zcat[1] | hmmm.. opinions on ubuntu tweak? | 10:51 |
| Wispring | aaah sweetness midi's are playing fine now :) | 10:51 |
| prashant | minimec: please purchase yourselves a beer and send me the bill :) | 10:51 |
| zcat[1] | like.. will it break stuff? | 10:51 |
| Slart | pvh_sa|wrk: hmm.. ok. try the reinstall thingy | 10:51 |
| cr4ftyb0n35 | Has anyone tried installing linux on an iriver h300 series player? It has a hard disk and two usb connections. My theory is that you can stick a keyboard into one, and a pcmcia card into the other, and you have your own really neat wifi :) | 10:51 |
| ikonia | zcat[1]: I don't like it | 10:51 |
| Gergo | Hello | 10:52 |
| cr4ftyb0n35 | I don't even know how to go about something like this, but if anyone has pointers, that would be great | 10:52 |

| minimec | prashant: I will ;) | 10:52 |
| joystick_ | please prompt me where to be catalogue of trash | 10:52 |
| ikonia | zcat[1]: yes, I think it's not a good project at this moment, probably one of the reasons ubuntu isn't supporting it yet | 10:52 |
| Zaber | anyone running kernel 2.6.24-16 ? | 10:52 |
| zcat[1] | ikonia: otoh it could be a useful thing if done right | 10:52 |
| pvh_sa|wrk | Slart, reinstalling didn't work. might need a reboot :( | 10:53 |
| spdf | zcat[1]: Tweak, as far as I know, changes settings. I don't believe it installs anything. | 10:53 |
| kaliMastah | what a firefack | 10:53 |
| ikonia | Zaber: you may be better making a forum post so more people can see your request without constant re-posts | 10:53 |

| ikonia | cr4ftyb0n35: what device | 10:53 |
| Slart | pvh_sa|wrk: reboots usually don't fix stuff like that.. but sure.. it's easy to try | 10:53 |
| zcat[1] | Oh well, I might play with it anyhow.. I'll let you all know how badly it breaks stuff ;) | 10:54 |
| pvh_sa|wrk | Slart, i know. easy to try, let's hope it works. LOL | 10:54 |

| ikonia | cr4ftyb0n35: I don't think you can run linux on that device | 10:54 |

| Shadow_X | Slart: i accidentally screwed it up which is why i was wondering how to get it back :S | 10:55 |
| ikonia | cr4ftyb0n35: look at it's architechture | 10:55 |
| sl00 | Hi. How do i verify this "pppd was built without MS-CHAP-V2 support (quite uncommon)." ?? | 10:55 |
| Slart | Shadow_X: ahh.. don't know if you can do that.. I read something about it on a wine mailing list.. someone requested a feature to rebuild the wine menu.. | 10:56 |
| cr4ftyb0n35 | ikonia: motorola coldfire...? I have no clue what that is, just did a basic search that's all | 10:56 |
| Shadow_X | i dont get why it wont do it as soon as you install a fresh copy :S | 10:56 |
| Slart | Shadow_X: you could of course reinstall all the wine apps.. but I'm guessing you were looking for something a bit faster =) | 10:56 |
| Shadow_X | lol | 10:56 |
| Shadow_X | i just need the menu itself back :S | 10:56 |
| ikonia | cr4ftyb0n35: so see if that arch has a supported platforn, then figure out a way to get a "flash" based image made for it, then put onto your device......thats why it's not possible | 10:56 |
| spdf | Shadow_X: if I'm not mistaken, Wine saves to ~/.config/menus/applications-merged, and ~/.local/share/applications/wine/Programs... As far as recreating those if deleted, I've got nothing.. | 10:57 |
| Zaber | DistroJockey, do are you running kernel 2.6.24-16 ? | 10:57 |
| === c is now known as Guest25463 | ||
| Slart | Shadow_X: I agree totally.. it could keep a copy hidden somewhere and just rebuild it when you change wine version or something | 10:57 |
| Zaber | DistroJockey, are you running kernel 2.6.24-16 ? | 10:57 |
| cr4ftyb0n35 | ikonia: Pretty hard, but there seems to be a linux port for it | 10:57 |
| ikonia | cr4ftyb0n35: try it then | 10:58 |
| DistroJockey | Zaber, 2.6.24-19-generic | 10:58 |
| sipior | Zaber: what's the deal with the kernel version spam? | 10:58 |
| cr4ftyb0n35 | ikonia: lol, the page's last entry was Jul 17 2007. | 10:58 |
| Zaber | sipior, what? | 10:58 |
| sipior | Zaber: well, i was just curious why you were asking folks if they were running a specific kernel. it seemed kind of random. | 10:59 |
| Zaber | ah | 10:59 |
| Zaber | i deleted a file | 10:59 |
| Zaber | want to make sure i have the right file for my distro | 10:59 |
| Zaber | or kernel | 10:59 |
| sipior | Zaber: and reinstalling the relevant kernel package is not an option? | 11:00 |
| ikonia | Zaber: just to clarify - it's nothing to do with the kernel, I suggested using the kernel as a guide to see if someone was at the same update level | 11:00 |
| Zaber | reinstalling is never an option -- only fixing | 11:00 |
| ikonia | Zaber: I also suggested making a forum post rather than keep asking people what kernel version they are running | 11:00 |
| xnv | Can you create shortcuts to web sites on the Ubuntu desktop? | 11:00 |
| sipior | Zaber: reinstalling the package, friend, not the entire system :-) | 11:00 |
| blankthemuffin | I can't seem to get bluetooth to work on my inspiron 1520. | 11:01 |
| Zaber | ikonia, i understand -- distrojockey is running the same (general) kernel -- he supplied me the replacement 822.pm file | 11:01 |
| Zaber | so the problem persists | 11:01 |
| DrLame_ | oh... my.... god..... this is drving me MAD..... I can't get ubuntu to stay connected to the wireless internet for 30 mins before it loses connection, wont reconnect, and forces me to reset.... I am about to rip my linux hdd out and throw it against the wall.... | 11:01 |
| gabbler | drlame_: are you using hidden ssids? | 11:02 |
| Zaber | sipior -- the problem is my package-manager -- its broken | 11:02 |
| nano_ | whats the difference between grub-install command from bash shell, and the setup command in grub shell | 11:02 |

| Zaber | don't know exactly | 11:02 |
| === c is now known as Guest16085 | ||
| Shadow_X | just delete the wine menu folder and kill gnome-panel. upon reloading, gnome-panel reincludes the menu :P | 11:03 |
| Sam753 | hello is there a german room? | 11:03 |
| ikonia | Zaber: he's not running the same kernel as you | 11:03 |
| Shadow_X | not sure why, but it works :P | 11:03 |
| sipior | Sam753: sure, have a look in #ubuntu-de | 11:03 |
| Sam753 | thanks | 11:03 |
| Zaber | -16 -19 -- close enough | 11:03 |
| ikonia | Zaber: he's running -19 - your running -16 | 11:03 |
| ikonia | Zaber: no it's not close enough | 11:03 |
| buliwyf | Sam753 try #ubuntu-de | 11:03 |
| Slart | Shadow_X: ahh.. good to know.. we might have to make a factoid out of that | 11:03 |
| ikonia | Zaber: a massive ammount of updates happened between -16 and -19 | 11:03 |
| ikonia | Zaber: if you want to ignore advice and do your own thing - do so, but stop asking for help if your not interested in thought through advice | 11:04 |
| DrLame_ | gabbler: I don't know >.< What are hidden ssids? | 11:04 |
| sipior | Zaber: what file are you missing? | 11:04 |
| Shadow_X | yea i figured someone could use that tidbit. i found a few other posts on the forums where no one replied. so im assuming its a fairly common issue lol | 11:04 |
| RonLut | Slart: what type should I write: ntfs or ntfs-3g ? | 11:04 |
| sipior | Zaber: you could steal it from the package | 11:04 |
| DistroJockey | ikonia, wouldn't it be more of a perl version thing if it's in /usr/share/perl5/Debconf/Format/ ? | 11:05 |
| gabbler | drlame_: is you access point broadcasting your ssis, ie wireless name, cos network manager does have problems with hidden ones | 11:05 |
| reZo | how do i add gpg to apt for updating? | 11:05 |
| Slart | RonLut: hmm.. hang on.. let me check | 11:05 |
| DrLame_ | gabbler: Yes, I can see the name broadcast | 11:05 |
| reZo | it says "gpg error: http://nz.archive.ubuntu.com gutsy-updates" error thingy :/ | 11:05 |
| ikonia | DistroJockey: yes, it's nothing to do with the kernel | 11:05 |
| sipior | Zaber: no need to install it, merely unpack the archive | 11:05 |
| ikonia | DistroJockey: I'm using the kernel as a guide to see if someone is at the same synaptic level of updates | 11:06 |
| Shadow_X | i also just learned to what degree wine functions on a system. i did not know that in order to launch a windows app in wine, it must be executable by *nix :P | 11:06 |
| DistroJockey | ikonia, *nods* fair enough | 11:06 |
| Zaber | /usr/share/perl5/Debconf/Format/822.pm (for kernel 2.6.24-16) | 11:06 |
| Slart | RonLut: try with "ntfs-3g" | 11:06 |
| gabbler | drlame_: ok, if you you look at your /var/log/messages and /var/log/dmesg does it say anything about wireless disconnects? | 11:06 |
| ikonia | DistroJockey: eg: dpkg / apt / perl have all had updates, so if your running 2.6.16-19 then your perl version / apt/ dpkg will be newer and may not be compatible with his version | 11:06 |
| ikonia | DistroJockey: kernels only a guide to his update level | 11:06 |
| DistroJockey | ikonia, true :) | 11:07 |
| RonLut | Slart: so is it ok: UUID=4DFF783C46F3D041 /media/disk ntfs-3g defaults 0 0 ? | 11:07 |
| Slart | Shadow_X: it doesn't have to.. if it is executable you can just type "hl2.exe" and ubuntu will use wine to run it.. but you can keep it as a normal file and still run it using "wine hl2.exe" | 11:07 |
| === Unislash_ is now known as unislash | ||

| sipior | ikonia: what file is he missing, exactly? (he doesn't seem to want to answer me :). why not just ask after a specific package version? | 11:08 |
| ikonia | sipior: its a perl module 833.pm I think it was called | 11:08 |
| ikonia | sipior: his package manager is broke | 11:08 |
| ikonia | sipior: but yes, your right he could unpack the deb | 11:08 |

| TGD | How can i get automatix | 11:09 |
| Slart | xnv: what happens if you drag an url from firefox to the desktop? | 11:09 |

| ikonia | TGD: automatix is dead | 11:09 |
| Zaber | ikonia, please note -- the error im getting now is the exact error i got before i replaced 822.pm (exact). so i'm at a loss why you think 822.pm is somehow not the right version. there is nothing i did to update this file or perl except run apt-get upgrade. after i did this, apt-get is now broken. | 11:09 |
| ikonia | TGD: it's also not support by ubuntu | 11:09 |
| the_herby | xnv, drag the url or the icon from the url to the desktop | 11:09 |

| Slart | Jane_ux: oh.. I have no idea.. never used plugins for that.. but search the firefox addon site.. there must be something out there | 11:18 |

| Slart | greenfishx3: you might have to add some kind of recursive switch to that | 11:29 |
| WalloO | greenfishx3, I mean. You can compress it, but you will have no gain in size. | 11:29 |
| Slart | greenfishx3: so it actually gets the files inside the folder too | 11:29 |

| WalloO | triffid_, it works. Maybe one of the router between you and mozilla.org can be down. You can try a tracert mozilla.org to see | 11:30 |

| champ | someone here helped me with madwifi a few days ago | 11:59 |
| magentar | (same gnome version) | 11:59 |
| champ | and give me a decent patch to get it to work with my card | 11:59 |
| Slart | grimsqueaker13: the usual way of doing that is to create a small file somewhere when your daemon starts and then your script can check if that file exists | 11:59 |
| champ | anyone know the patch for Madwifi and AR242x? | 11:59 |
| DrLame | Slart, someone directed me to this... http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?p=3755385#post3755385 but it didn't seem to help | 11:59 |
| grimsqueaker13 | Slart: thx :) | 11:59 |
| grimsqueaker13 | will have a look around for that idea | 11:59 |
| bobby | ls -l | 12:00 |
| bastid_raZor | magentar; wouldn't #debian be a better place for that question? you're asking why ubuntu does it better? | 12:00 |
| xian | Slart: i'm now logged in as another user and it's worse than before: the windows now don't even have title bars and it is impossible to resize them. | 12:00 |
| Slart | grimsqueaker13: or rather.. create a small file containing the pID of the daemon process.. then check if the file exists.. *and* if the process with that pID exists.. | 12:01 |
| magentar | yeah was not sure where to ask, but i'll do thanks | 12:01 |
| grimsqueaker13 | Slart: ok, cool, thx again :) | 12:01 |
| bastid_raZor | xian; try holding alt and middle clicking or left clicking.. i actually prefer no window borders/title | 12:01 |
| Slart | xian: tried the gtk-window-decorator? or compiz-decorator ? I think those both use the --replace switch | 12:01 |
| compiler | i have some stupid quesion, how i can find file with whereis(i had seen man, but dont understand( )? | 12:02 |
| bastid_raZor | xian; in compiz you can select the option window decoration .. that should give window borders | 12:02 |
| joaopinto | whereis is only used for binaries, you probably want to use: locate file | 12:02 |
| Slart | compiler: whereis searches the previously built index for filenames and folders.. whereis firefox will show all files/folders with firefox in the name | 12:03 |
| Slart | compiler: update the index using "sudo updatedb".. this takes quite a while on large drives | 12:03 |
| gabbler | jane_ux: have you tried ufw? | 12:03 |
| joaopinto | whereis is an alias to locate ? | 12:03 |
| compiler | Slart, thanks | 12:03 |
| xian | bastid_raZor: thanks, but i disabled compiz already. | 12:04 |
| gabbler | compiler: have you tried find? | 12:04 |
| Slart | joaopinto: oh.. now I'm not so sure any more.. | 12:04 |
| EugZol | hey guys | 12:04 |
| EugZol | Is there pidgin-2-4-3.deb someware? | 12:04 |
| Slart | joaopinto: it does return folders as well as binaries.. | 12:04 |
| EugZol | *somewhere | 12:04 |
| Slart | joaopinto: perhaps folders/files in the path? | 12:04 |
| joaopinto | Slart, that makes sense, but not index based, that is locate | 12:05 |
| Slart | joaopinto: whereis - locate the binary, source, and manual page files for a command | 12:05 |
| Slart | joaopinto: and you're right.. it doesn't use the index.. my bad | 12:05 |
| joaopinto | EugZol, it will be available on getdeb today :P | 12:05 |
| EugZol | joaopinto, that's nice =) | 12:05 |
| xian | Slart: running gtk-window-decorator --replace has no effect on these settings | 12:05 |
| fo2sh | i have ubuntu studio installed on my DELL vostro 1000 laptop, i need a VGA driver? shall i use ENVY or there is something better ? | 12:05 |
| Slart | compiler: sorry.. I was wrong.. joaopinto is correct.. whereis doesn't use the index.. locate uses the index.. | 12:06 |
| Slart | xian: and compiz-decorator --replace? | 12:06 |
| xian | Slart: it's the same. it just says "starting gtk-window-decorator" and that's it. | 12:06 |
| fo2sh | my VGA is ATI xpress 1150....any ideas ? | 12:07 |
| Slart | xian: then I'm out of ideas.. reboot perhaps? | 12:07 |
| bastid_raZor | !envy | 12:07 |
| ubottu | envyng is an updated version of the *UNSUPPORTED* envy package. It is now part of the ubuntu universe repository (envyng-gtk OR envyng-qt) and has community support. As an early version, its results may vary but this should be used over the unsupported envy package. | 12:07 |

| dns53 | reaktae well my idea is have the root in a read only partition, create a ramdisk and use unionfs so writes are in memory and not the disk | 12:21 |

| erUSUL | tparcina: quote "If the driver load was succesful, no output is received at the console. We can check this by looking at the kernel ring buffer .... " | 12:53 |
| bazhang | hi laki got a question | 12:53 |
| sinan | th0r: ok, will do it now | 12:53 |
| laki | kfggfccjc j | 12:53 |
| erUSUL | tparcina: the ring buffer is dmesg or /var/log/messages | 12:53 |
| bazhang | laki, english please | 12:53 |
| erUSUL | tparcina: dmesg is a command | 12:53 |
| th0r | sinan, if linux identifies it properly you should see a line defining a /dev device | 12:54 |
| th0r | sinan, maybe /dev/ttyS4 or some such. That will be the serial device | 12:54 |
| Jack_Sparrow | messiah were there any errors in the process.. if so what were they, do you have the same exact chipset you need to write a better question than this didnt work | 12:54 |
| tparcina | erUSUL: ok, thank you for helping. | 12:55 |
| tomitom007 | I'm connected to the internet through a modem/router but somehow I do not seem connected to my lan. Can't ping any comp on the network. Ideas ? | 12:55 |
| sinan | th0r: it did inform me about the device, but didn't add any /dev device. I'll paste everything in a pastie | 12:55 |
| erUSUL | tparcina: no problem | 12:55 |
| th0r | tomitom007, the firewall on the router may not allow that, or the firewall on the individual computers | 12:55 |
| Jack_Sparrow | sinan go to a terminal and type dmesg | grep ttyS | 12:55 |
| sinan | th0r: http://pastie.org/226197 | 12:56 |
| grobda24 | Jack_Sparrow ... was that your guide ? | 12:56 |
| Jack_Sparrow | grobda24 on what | 12:56 |
| Ollie | Hi, my Ubuntu 8.0.4 has stopped automatically mounting USB sticks. It works occasionally, but generally puts nothing on my desktop. In dmesg it shows up. If I type sudo mount -t vfat /dev/sdb /mnt/usbstick then I get a wrong fs or bad superblock error. Any help? | 12:56 |
| erUSUL | sinan: do "tailf /var/log/messages" and plug the device you should see mesages telling what device node the kernel assings to the serial adapter | 12:56 |
| grobda24 | Jack_Sparrow ... the package management guide. | 12:56 |
| th0r | sinan, the serial port is /dev/ttyUSB0 | 12:56 |
| Jack_Sparrow | grobda24 dont think so | 12:56 |
| sinan | th0r: ok, thanks ! :) | 12:56 |
| tomitom007 | Sure, th0r, but before upgrading to hardy, it was fine. Moreover i'm in dual-boot, and under windows all is working fine | 12:56 |
| th0r | tomitom007, can you ping the router? | 12:57 |
| sinan | th0r: what is the proper way to "disconnect" the device? | 12:57 |
| tomitom007 | No. | 12:57 |
| gordonjcp | sinan: what, a USB serial port adaptor? | 12:58 |
| th0r | sinan, I think you just pull it out <smile>. Don't think there is any need to eject it or anything | 12:58 |
| grobda24 | Jack_Sparrow ... good guide. The myth that linux must be very technical has still not been blown if you ask me. | 12:58 |
| gordonjcp | sinan: make sure you're not trying to use it, then just unplug it | 12:58 |
| sinan | how nice ! | 12:58 |
| Jack_Sparrow | grobda24 Glad you like it.. | 12:58 |
| sinan | gordonjcp: thanks ;) | 12:58 |
| tomitom007 | That's why it's so strange. Can't ping the router, but still it shares the internet connection with me | 12:58 |
| gordonjcp | sinan: it's not like a memory stick where if you just yank it you might corrupt the filesystem | 12:58 |
| th0r | tomitom007, open a terminal, type 'route -n' and pastebin the results. But quickly...i have to leave for work | 12:58 |
| === gnomefre1k is now known as gnomefreak | ||
| gordonjcp | tomitom007: is the router dropping ping? | 12:58 |
| sinan | gordonjcp: still, under windows you have to eject it, i think. But again, windows is stupid :P | 12:59 |
| gordonjcp | tomitom007: some people think it's a good idea to silently drop ping | 12:59 |
| gordonjcp | sinan: weird | 12:59 |
| lobs_ | hello | 12:59 |
| grobda24 | Jack_Sparrow .. :) My Ubuntu feels like some comfy armchair. The prev distro's I had are more like cold hard wooden chairs :/ | 12:59 |
| tomitom007 | It's my router, I configured it, and I can ping it under windows | 12:59 |
| joe__ | the only thing i dont like about ubuntu is the damn wireless setup | 12:59 |
| Jack_Sparrow | grobda24 glad to hear it. We try to keep this vhannel for question and #ubuntu-offtopic fro comments and discussions | 13:00 |
| joe__ | ubuntu realizes my card, and even picks up signals. but cant connect | 13:00 |
| joe__ | so annoying | 13:00 |
| lobs_ | i'm installing ubuntu 8.04 now i and I like to now what is the best way to create my partitions to share my files with my windows instalation | 13:00 |
| gordonjcp | joe__: what kind of card? | 13:00 |
| Ollie | if I type fdisk -l, I can see my usb stick is /dev/sdb1... but if I try to sudo mount -t vfat /dev/sdb1 it says /dev/sdb1 doesn't exist | 13:00 |
| nandersson | No way to fix external monitor resolution to 1680x1050 without editing xorg.conf directly I assume? Is that issue targeted in Intrepid? | 13:00 |
| joe__ | lobs: use the wubi installer | 13:00 |
| grobda24 | joe__ ... check launchpad for the state of the wireless. | 13:00 |
| joe__ | Dell 1359 mini card | 13:00 |
| joaopinto | lobs_, just keep an ntfs partiotion from that | 13:00 |
| Jack_Sparrow | joe__ not a good choice | 13:00 |
| DrLame | lol.... it's my p2p program... that's what's causing my inet to dissconnect randomly forcing a restart. If I don't use p2p it works perfect =D | 13:00 |
| Kiyiko | hey guys, kiyiko has a question:/ | 13:00 |
| joaopinto | joe__, wubi does not help sharing files with windows | 13:00 |
| tomitom007 | Th0r: http://pastie.org/226199 | 13:00 |
| grobda24 | Jack_Sparrow ... ok, where is that policy defined BTW ? | 13:01 |
| DrLame | Do you usually speak about yourself in the 3rd person? | 13:01 |
| Kiyiko | yes | 13:01 |
| joe__ | jao - i used wubi i can access my windows files easily | 13:01 |
| lobs_ | joaopinto vc é brasileiro? | 13:01 |
| Ziroday | !ntfs > lobs_ | 13:01 |
| ubottu | lobs_, please see my private message | 13:01 |
| Kiyiko | this the lpace to ask? | 13:01 |
| joaopinto | lobs_, portuguese, but lets keep it in english here | 13:01 |
| th0r | tomitom007, you have routes for 192.168.0.0 on two different interfaces...one has to go | 13:01 |
| tomitom007 | No, that's ok, I've got 2 network adaptater | 13:01 |
| Jack_Sparrow | joe__ I wont use or recommend wubi.. people need to read the faq and understand it is not a good long term solution | 13:01 |
| pep | Hi! in the ubuntu wiki, how can I specify that I don't want a word linked that the wiki automatically links? (like "SuSe") | 13:02 |
| seravitae | hi when i load a session, gnome, xfce, fluxbox whatever, after logging in, all i see is the backround and the mouse cursor... any ideas | 13:02 |
| joaopinto | joe__, sure, but is not a native installation, you can share files easly using a native installation, reading/writinf from the windows ntfs partition | 13:02 |
| grobda24 | nandersson .. what's intreprid ? | 13:02 |
| lobs_ | joaopinto ok... Well.. I must set my partitions manually or the partitioner will screw up my other partitions. Wich partitions I must create? | 13:02 |
| tomitom007 | Well it has always been like that, and working | 13:02 |
| matrix09 | how do I scan for the ip adresses in my local network? | 13:02 |
| joe__ | Jack_Sparrow can you explain why it isnt a good long term idea? | 13:02 |
| th0r | tomitom007, yeah, but you can't have the same route for both interfaces unless you have some sort of load sharing in the routing. Have to leave for work...will be back here in about an hour | 13:02 |
| nandersson | grobda24, Next Ubuntu version 8.10 | 13:02 |
| Jack_Sparrow | grobda24 Official Ubuntu support Channel in the topic is a good clue as to what we do here | 13:02 |
| joaopinto | lobs_, you should use the manual partition option from the installers, it provides a greater control on what you do | 13:02 |
| tomitom007 | Th0r, I'll be here too. | 13:02 |
| lobs_ | joaopinto Yes i know... Linux need 2 partitions right? One ext3 and the other one i don't remember. | 13:03 |
| joaopinto | swap | 13:03 |
| dabaR | When I run ps aux the command never completes and gets stuck. | 13:03 |
| dabaR | What can I do? | 13:03 |
| lobs_ | ext3 is where the system files will stay? | 13:04 |
| Kiyiko | ok, so i am getting a kde error, about how dcopserver is not running, and i found a page were the solution was found.....according to people, but i cannot make sence of it... | 13:04 |
| Jack_Sparrow | joe__ I wont waste my time discussing it.. It was designed as another form of test drive. It was included in the hardy release, (I did object) read their faq carefully and understand what it is and how it differs from a regular install | 13:04 |
| joaopinto | lobs_, ext2 should be mounted at / | 13:04 |
| grobda24 | Jack_Sparrow .. not clear on this, I have read the pages. Is this channel run by Canonical ? | 13:04 |
| lobs_ | is there a way to put my "home" folder in a ntfs partition? | 13:04 |
| Jack_Sparrow | lobs_ add one more partition for /home | 13:04 |
| MiaTuk | hoola, algun español aqui? | 13:04 |
| joaopinto | lobs_, it may be possible, but not recommended | 13:04 |
| Jack_Sparrow | lobs_ no | 13:05 |
| DJones | !es | MiaTuk | 13:05 |
| ubottu | MiaTuk: En la mayoría de canales Ubuntu se comunica en inglés. Para ayuda en Español, por favor entre en los canales #ubuntu-es o #kubuntu-es. | 13:05 |
| Jack_Sparrow | !es | 13:05 |
| Jack_Sparrow | brb I need my morning coffee | 13:05 |
| MiaTuk | ok gracias | 13:05 |
| matrix09 | how do I scan for the ip adresses in my local network? | 13:06 |
| lobs_ | how much gb the swap partition should have? should it come after or before ext3? | 13:06 |
| joaopinto | !swap | lobs_ | 13:06 |
| ubottu | lobs_: swap is used to move unused programs and data out of main memory to make your system faster. It can also be used as extra memory if you don't have enough. See https://help.ubuntu.com/community/SwapFaq for more info | 13:06 |

| ubottu | vandrar, please see my private message | 13:07 |
| lobs_ | omg... there goes 4gb of my hd :P | 13:07 |
| Jack_Sparrow | lobs_ at todays prices that amounts to about $1 worth of space | 13:08 |
| grobda24 | Jack_Sparrow ... so (bear with me, lol), where can I discuss the channel policy ? edit the wiki page ? forum ? | 13:08 |
| matrix09 | hmmz, anyone? | 13:08 |
| Jack_Sparrow | grobda24 offtopic | 13:08 |
| grobda24 | k :) | 13:08 |
| BlackCow | well when firefox eventually does load its slow and freezes up, I tried reinstalling. I mean its a brand new install, am I just going to have to reinstall ubuntu again?! Has anyone heard of this problem? | 13:08 |
| lobs_ | Jack_Sparrow :P. Should swap come after or before ext3? | 13:09 |
| Jack_Sparrow | lobs_ I usually put them at the end as they are seldom used | 13:09 |
| plan7 | hi all | 13:09 |
| lobs_ | Ok. Thanks. | 13:09 |
| Jack_Sparrow | lobs_ are you dual booting | 13:09 |
| Joco | hi all, is there a way to reset firefox and force it to ask me to install the official flash plugin? I installed an open source plguin and I dont like it. thanks | 13:10 |
| plan7 | I read only that is a source package called 'cell-sdk'....unfortunately I can't find that package via "apt-cache search", although I have added universe (where the package is supposed to be)...:/ | 13:10 |
| Jack_Sparrow | plan7 what was the program you are trying to install that depends on it | 13:10 |
| lobs_ | Jack_Sparrow i'm installing ubuntu aiming a dual boot | 13:11 |
| dns53 | Joco you need to install flashplugin-nonfree for the adobe plugin | 13:11 |
| plan7 | Jack_Sparrow, well, no programm actually. I wanted to install the cell-sdk, and some guy in a forum wrote 'cell-sdk' on ubuntu would do the trick :) | 13:11 |
| Jack_Sparrow | lobs_ there is a 4 primary partition limit... you will need to create an extended partition | 13:11 |
| lobs_ | Jack_Sparrow I don't got it... Can you explain it again? | 13:12 |
| Jack_Sparrow | plan7 I take things written in the forum with a grain of salt as anyone can write just about anything | 13:12 |
| Joco | dns53 how I enable it in firefox tho? | 13:12 |
| Joco | dns53 I installed it but still get that grey play button on youtube | 13:12 |
| plan7 | Jack_Sparrow, I know, but I checked if there is actually such a package, and there should be: http://packages.ubuntu.com/gutsy/cell-sdk | 13:13 |
| Jack_Sparrow | lobs_ there is a limit of 4 primary partitions on a drive. so if you need more than that you need to use what is called an extended partition which will allow up to 256 logical partitions inside the extended partition | 13:13 |
| dns53 | Joco i'm not sure, is there someone here who knows how? | 13:13 |
| dezzer | co_ganteng | 13:14 |
| Jack_Sparrow | plan7 which repo is it supposed to be in | 13:14 |
| plan7 | Jack_Sparrow, gutsy, universe | 13:14 |
| sawyer__ | hello | 13:14 |
| sawyer__ | can anyone direct me on this pidgin upgrade error? | 13:14 |
| plan7 | Jack_Sparrow, source, not binary :) | 13:15 |
| sawyer__ | the repositories don't have a newer version | 13:15 |
| lobs_ | My HD is partitioned with 250 on a ntfs and 250 on a extended. | 13:15 |
| Jack_Sparrow | It is not in my gutsy repos and I do have universe enabled, are you sure it isnt just in the hardy universe | 13:15 |
| Jack_Sparrow | lobs_ great | 13:15 |
| plan7 | Jack_Sparrow, http://packages.ubuntu.com/gutsy/source/cell-sdk | 13:16 |
| lobs_ | Jack_Sparrow I can use 4 partions plus extended partitions? | 13:16 |
| advcomp2019 | anyone got WPA or WPA2 working with RTL8187B wifi card? because my WPA or WPA2 does not work. i have seen in the forums too many workarounds or fixes, but people say WPA or WPA2 does not work like mine. | 13:16 |
| Jack_Sparrow | lobs_ no, one of the 4 primaries is the extended | 13:16 |
| lobs_ | ok. got it. | 13:16 |
| lobs_ | thanks. | 13:16 |
| messiah | guys | 13:17 |
| messiah | i need help with installing mad wifi for my wireless. | 13:17 |
| greenfishx3 | messiah: good luck... wireless on linux is a b | 13:18 |
| messiah | greenfishx3: i had it working on my linux 2day.. but i had to reformat. | 13:18 |
| messiah | and i forgot how to do it | 13:18 |
| plan7 | Jack_Sparrow, as far as I can see..it should be there,..:) | 13:19 |
| WinterWeaver | How do I share files from a ubuntu machine to another ubuntu machine on my local network? | 13:20 |
| Jack_Sparrow | plan7 It clearly is not.. it must have been pulled for some reason | 13:20 |
| plan7 | Jack_Sparrow, hm...k :) | 13:20 |
| Jack_Sparrow | I just enabled source for universe gutsy, updated and could not find it | 13:20 |
| DellGuy | speaking of sharing files, can ubuntu see a windows share by default ? | 13:20 |
| plan7 | Jack_Sparrow, same here | 13:20 |
| plan7 | Jack_Sparrow, sad thing....:) | 13:20 |
| sawyer__ | i'm sorry to bug but.. | 13:21 |
| greenfishx3 | can anyone tell me why during a large file transfer it just says (sometimes) "could not read home direcotry location to .flac" ? | 13:22 |
| sawyer__ | pidgin now says that my client version is too old, but i can't find anything newer in the ubuntu repositories | 13:22 |
| sawyer__ | i'm running ubuntu 8.04 | 13:22 |
| themime | I'm trying to configure my madwifi drivers and nothing is showing up in iwconfig, and from what I've read it means I don't have the proper stuff set up in the kernel. is there a way to see what stuff is in my kernel so I can see whats missing; and is there a simple way to recompile it with those things without havin to figure out which kernel to download and such | 13:22 |
| Jack_Sparrow | plan7 If it was pulled there must have been a reason or conflict | 13:22 |
| plan7 | Jack_Sparrow, thought so, but still...it's no fun installing it by hand :) | 13:23 |
| Jack_Sparrow | sawyer__ what are you trying to connect to. | 13:23 |
| plan7 | Jack_Sparrow, well, will use a virtual machine then :) | 13:23 |
| sawyer__ | Jack_Sparrow, ICQ | 13:23 |
| sawyer__ | i found a patch on various sites, but it seems like a patch to the lib | 13:24 |
| sawyer__ | a binary patch, that is. i don't run binaries or patch binaries this quickly without talking to someone. | 13:24 |
| sawyer__ | i reckon here would be some responsible people :) | 13:24 |
| greenfishx3 | how do you transfer .flac, and tell linux to stop complaining about reading and various characters :p ? | 13:25 |
| Jack_Sparrow | plan7 not sure what this is but.. http://www.wtorrent.com/223800.html google of ubuntu gutsy cell-sdk alternative found it | 13:25 |
| advcomp2019 | sawyer__, i heard some else with that too | 13:25 |
| greenfishx3 | Conan The Barbarian/05 Atlantean Sword.flac <-- linux claims "cant read" wrong character, its ENGlish | 13:25 |
| Jack_Sparrow | sawyer__ what are you trying to connect to. when you get that error | 13:25 |
| sawyer__ | running pidgin 2.4.1 | 13:25 |

| === Komplex is now known as Komplex12 | ||
| sawyer__ | BaD_CrC, yes, i've noticed that, but i want to know if there's something i should do on ubuntu without compiling pidgin | 13:27 |
| Pici | sawyer__: The devs are at work making an upgrade for that, be patient. | 13:27 |
| Jack_Sparrow | sawyer__ 2.4.2 can be found as a deb on getdeb.net | 13:27 |
| sawyer__ | Pici, okay, i just wanted to know, i'm patient :) | 13:27 |
| sawyer__ | Jack_Sparrow, thank you :) | 13:27 |
| Jack_Sparrow | sawyer__ note the red highlight.. remove the old one first | 13:27 |
| sawyer__ | Jack_Sparrow, red highlight where? | 13:28 |
| Jack_Sparrow | sawyer__ where you download the new debs | 13:28 |
| joaopinto | 2.4.3 will be available later today | 13:29 |
| Jack_Sparrow | sawyer__ http://getdeb.net/release.php?id=2673 | 13:29 |

| ubottu | nfs is the network file system. See https://help.ubuntu.com/community/SettingUpNFSHowTo for information on installing and configuring NFS. | 13:29 |
| sipior | greenfishx3: might be easier to just use cp from the terminal if the source and destination are both local. i've never found nautilus to be very useful with large directories, or (on occasion) with filenames that originated on OS X or windows systems | 13:29 |
| Jack_Sparrow | joaopinto will that release be in a deb for ubuntu or source | 13:30 |
| greenfishx3 | sipior: I see.. too bad theres no status bar in console, no eta that is | 13:30 |
| jeffrey_s | I'm getting PROPFIND: SSL negotiation failed connecting to my subversion server on Hardy using https (OpenSSL-0.9.8g). I've seen messages where it's a problem with OpenSSL versions but nothing specific or recent, any ideas? | 13:30 |
| joaopinto | Jack_Sparrow, deb for ubuntu, but I am refering to getdeb, on the official repositories there will be a patch to the current version, for the ICQ issue, but I guess that will take more time | 13:31 |

| greenfishx3 | sipior, thanks anyways though, I guses i have to manually sit here and check each file, wow .. another "cant read bla bla" | 13:31 |
| Jack_Sparrow | joaopinto Where did you find when it will be on getdeb? | 13:31 |
| === irpan is now known as roberto_kliwon | ||
| roberto_kliwon | hello all | 13:31 |
| joaopinto | Jack_Sparrow, erm, because I will be doing it :P ? | 13:32 |
| sipior | greenfishx3: simplest just to use cp -a /source/path /destination/path. At the very least, you'll get more helpful diagnostic messages :) | 13:32 |
| Jack_Sparrow | joaopinto Always nice to know the souce.. go get busy and do it | 13:32 |
| joaopinto | it is not there yet because I am working ;) | 13:32 |
| sawyer__ | Jack_Sparrow, alright, will do. thank you ever so much. :) | 13:32 |
| Jack_Sparrow | sawyer__ wait until tomorrow | 13:32 |
| Jack_Sparrow | joaopinto if he gets 2.4.2 and patches it will he have the same as you are working on | 13:33 |
| sawyer__ | Jack_Sparrow, tomorrow it will be fixed already? | 13:33 |
| greenfishx3 | sipior: wont that commadn stop if it cant read one file? or will it transfer the 80GBs and THEN list the errors+ | 13:34 |
| Jack_Sparrow | sawyer__ see above, joaopinto will be uploading it to getdeb later today | 13:34 |
| sawyer__ | man you guys are really fast | 13:34 |
| sipior | greenfishx3: yes, it will stop should it encounter difficulties. but then, it should at least be clearer about the underlying problem. | 13:34 |
| Jack_Sparrow | sawyer__ thank joaopinto for his time.. :) | 13:34 |
| gatestone | For some reason I lost sound, maybe upgrade to Hardy. Fixed with http://kubasik.net/blog/2008/03/31/sound-problems-in-ubuntu-hardy/ | 13:35 |
| sawyer__ | joaopinto, where will i be able to check the status whether it was updated yet or not? | 13:35 |
| greenfishx3 | sipior then its the same thing as using the GUI a pain.. I already know the error msg, its complaining about the characte rname of the tile.. and its english no special characters just english | 13:35 |
| lks | anyone know how to get screensaver to work (using xubuntu 8.04)..thx | 13:35 |
| greenfishx3 | sipior why cant it just transfer evertying it can and then output the errors? | 13:35 |
| Jack_Sparrow | sawyer__ it will be on getdeb shortly | 13:35 |
| joaopinto | sawyer_, if you refer to the official updates, I am not sure it will be tomorrow, the official updates first go into the -proposed repositories, and just later fo into the official updates | 13:35 |
| on5sl | nobody? | 13:36 |
| joaopinto | on getdeb, they will be available between 5:00pm and 6:00pm (GMT time) | 13:36 |
| Jack_Sparrow | sawyer__ lots of things have to happen before it gets the official stamp. | 13:36 |
| sawyer__ | joaopinto, great, i'll check during those times and after - thanks | 13:36 |
| joaopinto | or sooner, if someone decides to work on them first | 13:36 |
| sawyer__ | Jack_Sparrow, i'm sure. tests, stability, deployment, etc. etc... | 13:36 |
| sipior | greenfishx3: the problem isn't the language, but the codepage, i imagine. | 13:36 |
| Jack_Sparrow | joaopinto if he gets 2.4.2 and patches it will he have the same as you are working on | 13:36 |
| sawyer__ | i'm a developer too :) | 13:36 |
| greenfishx3 | sipior what does that mean :D ? its a simple .flac (open source) | 13:37 |
| greenfishx3 | sipior: the transfer works if i rename the file to something else | 13:37 |
| joaopinto | Jack_Sparrow, yes, he could grab the 2.4.3 source and build from it, or the 2.4.2 and just apply the ICQ patch, it is available on the LP bug report | 13:37 |

| themime | How would I go about enabling things in the kernel, like CONFIG_NET_RADIO and CONFIG_NET_WIRELESS? Does it involve the full recompiling process? | 13:37 |
| hiptobecubic | are we talking about pidgin? | 13:38 |
| joaopinto | hiptobecubic, yes | 13:38 |
| === sokrazy is now known as feuj | ||
| sipior | greenfishx3: well, there you go. either that, or figure out which character is common to all the problematic file names. or just deal with it as it comes. does cp -a not work? | 13:39 |
| IndyGunFreak | joaopinto: i compiled 2.4.2 pidgin last night w/ the patch on the homepage, it worked fine. | 13:39 |
| joaopinto | IndyGunFreak, I know it works fine :) | 13:39 |
| greenfishx3 | sipior: I already tried that method but you see there isnt any special characters its just plain english nothing special at all | 13:39 |
| IndyGunFreak | joaopinto: oh, i thought you were having probs w/ it. | 13:39 |
| joaopinto | sawyer_, if are really needing ICQ now, you can get an untested package from http://build.getdeb.net/abs/post_build/hardy/ , but like I said, untested :P | 13:40 |
| abe3k | hi guys :) , is there any solution for the choppy voice that my friends hear coming from me in WoW ? | 13:40 |
| hiptobecubic | what's the usual delay between a new version being released and having it show in the repo/aptitude? | 13:40 |
| joaopinto | IndyGunFreak, no tks :) | 13:40 |
| sipior | greenfishx3: no quotation marks? no question marks or spaces? remember, computers don't read english either... | 13:40 |
| greenfishx3 | sipior: I jsut read man cp, "a" stands for archive what does cp -a accomplish? correct NO special characters spaces? yes theres spaces all of my files contains spaces | 13:41 |
| Jack_Sparrow | joaopinto thanks | 13:41 |
| linny | could anyone help me to configure xorg.conf for my ati hd2600 i have the latest drivers on I'm just having problems with the login screen resolutions it say cannot display video mode until i press ctl alt and + or - to toggle screen resolutions how can i set it to default 1280x1024 ? | 13:41 |
| joaopinto | hiptobecubic, new versions dont usually get available on updates, only selected bug fixes | 13:41 |
| sipior | greenfishx3: -a preserves permissions, et alia | 13:41 |
| joaopinto | hiptobecubic, it dependson it's criticality, anyway they first get into the -proposed repository to be tested, and later on the -updates | 13:42 |
| greenfishx3 | sipior oh okay, but what do you mean by spaces? my entire linux is made up with various files containing spaces.. im confused O_O | 13:42 |
| hiptobecubic | joaopinto, so i should just wait then? | 13:43 |
| sipior | greenfishx3: then the spaces are probably fine | 13:43 |
| messiah | does linux have any torrent programs? | 13:43 |
| joaopinto | hiptobecubic, yes, or get the latest version from getdeb when it gets available, your choice :) | 13:43 |
| greenfishx3 | sipior: look at this one: Basil Poledouris - Conan The Barbarian/05 Atlantean Sword.flac <-- do you see anything wrong with this one? | 13:43 |
| joaopinto | messiah, a lot of them, transmission, deluge-torrent, etc, just search from the package manager | 13:43 |
| sipior | greenfishx3: no, but then i'm not a shell, am i? | 13:44 |
| messiah | can utorrent work? | 13:44 |
| messiah | with wine? | 13:44 |
| linny | yes | 13:44 |
| nikhil | azingo | 13:44 |
| joaopinto | meshuga, yes, but you should try a linux native one instead | 13:44 |
| sipior | messiah: there are billions of linux torrent programs at this point, i think :-) | 13:44 |
| greenfishx3 | sipior: err no...im just trying to rule out a few options.. its obvoius you know a lot more about linux then I do | 13:44 |
| dejiko | yeah | 13:44 |
| joaopinto | sipior, billions :P ? | 13:44 |
| dejiko | wine uses too many resources | 13:44 |
| greenfishx3 | sipior if I dont ask or present examples I will never learn | 13:45 |
| sipior | joaopinto: for small values of "billion", yes ;-) | 13:45 |
| hiptobecubic | messiah, deluge is similar i'd try that perhaps? | 13:45 |
| guardian | hi, do i need to write stuff in xorg.conf to switch my graphire wacom tablet to absolute positioning ? or is there a gui ? | 13:45 |
| dejiko | deluge, transmission, azureus | 13:45 |
| messiah | hiptobecubic: thanks | 13:45 |
| hassan | يشس | 13:45 |
| joaopinto | azureus is a resource eater, java :P | 13:45 |
| linny | mesiiah imo transmission is better if your using private scene trackers as deluge and some others are not allowed | 13:46 |
| dejiko | not as bad as wine | 13:46 |
| dejiko | ^^; | 13:46 |
| uberspaced | anybody know about synergy + cygwin in here? | 13:46 |
| plato | Hi, can anybody tell me what the ubuntu-standard way is to disable servers at startup (mySQL, MythTV). I'm on a budget of 384Mb, so I don't want them to startup at bootup. And manualy starting a little script is getting anoying. | 13:46 |
| sipior | greenfishx3: my point is simply that windows may have placed an invisible character in the filename, and pasting the name in the irc window won't reveal that :) | 13:46 |
| uberspaced | I upgraded to 8.04 and synergy causes key repeats in a cygwin session now. | 13:46 |

| plato | @aoempires, thx I'll look into it | 13:49 |
| greenfishx3 | sipior: hmm I see... and theres no way to lis those hidden characters in linux? because bash outputs the file exactly as I posted it on irc.. ive checked it twice now, even with ls -a | 13:49 |
| sipior | greenfishx3: perhaps i | 13:49 |
| sipior | greenfishx3: i'm mistaken. it's a bit hard to tell these things remotely :) | 13:49 |
| lenix_ | how can i change my top/bottom panels color ? | 13:49 |
| sparkyy | does anyone know how to set screen brightness? I am plugged in and my screen is still really dark | 13:50 |
| greenfishx3 | sipior oh yeah I can imagine that, its not hte end of the world for me.. I just hope all the other files will be okay since its not complaining about the entire archive just a few flacs for each folder | 13:50 |
| sipior | lenix_: changing the gtk theme will do it. | 13:50 |
| sipior | greenfishx3: the files will be fine, you'll just have to move a couple by hand, is all | 13:51 |
| dejiko | lenix_, just right-click on a free portion of that panel and select "Settings..." | 13:51 |
| sipior | greenfishx3: i agree that it's a bit annoying. i've had similar problems in the distant past | 13:51 |
| dejiko | in the second tab you can change background color, transparency... | 13:51 |
| lenix_ | sipior, by gtk theme you mean System -> Preferences -> Appearance? | 13:51 |
| sipior | lenix_: yup | 13:51 |
| lenix_ | any idea where can I find some nice gtk themes? | 13:51 |
| lenix_ | other than the ones pre-installed | 13:51 |
| Jack_Sparrow | lenix_ gnome-look.org | 13:52 |
| greenfishx3 | sipior ah splendid then its not a major issue, since I could always fix the rest manually after the transfer, thanks for taking your time explaining the various htings and how to resolves the usual errors, thanks dude! | 13:52 |
| sipior | greenfishx3: no trouble, have fun. | 13:52 |
| Jack_Sparrow | lenix_ just drag the tar onto the open theme manager, dont try to install manually | 13:52 |
| lenix_ | alright thanks both of you | 13:52 |
| greenfishx3 | sipior thanks ^_^ | 13:52 |
| lenix_ | what about changing the font size of the text on my panels, like Applications Places System ? | 13:53 |
| sipior | lenix_: it's in the font tab of the appearance dialogue | 13:53 |

| DASPRiD | hm, when does the new pidgin version move into ubuntu repos? the current version is out of date, so no icq login isnt possible yet | 13:54 |
| Jack_Sparrow | lenix_ gconf-editor for all sorts of options | 13:54 |
| lenix_ | alright | 13:54 |
| sipior | lenix_: i seem to remember there being several font preferences to change in that tab | 13:54 |
| Pici | DASPRiD: The devs are working on it, so 'soon'. | 13:54 |

| sipior | on5sl: try setting "umask 0000" in your .bashrc or .profile, and log out and then back in. see if that sorts it. not really a great idea to apply this value of umask, but if you need to create a lot of folders this way. easiest, of course, is just to write a simple shell script to do it, in that case :-) | 14:09 |

| inflex | hi there - my current pidgin version (2.4.1) is too old according to ICQ, I see there's a more recent version but I can't seem to get it with Ubuntu 8.04 :( | 14:14 |
| parkdale | I created a /data directory for all users on an ubuntu system to share data in, which appears in /etc/fstab as: | 14:14 |
| parkdale | UUID=04bffb2a-91fc-41c9-bff9-58dc3546c3ff /data reiserfs relatime 0 2 | 14:14 |
| sipior | on5sl: but did it work from the terminal? | 14:14 |
| Jack_Sparrow | inflex YOu will have a fix in a couple hours | 14:14 |
| inflex | Jack_Sparrow: aaaah okay :)9 | 14:14 |
| parkdale | How do I get it to appear in Nautilus for all users under "Places" | 14:14 |
| on5sl | i'll try the terminal... | 14:14 |
| parkdale | group permissions are all OK | 14:15 |
| T_C | alfa-nei | 14:15 |
| Jack_Sparrow | !icqbug | 14:15 |
| ubottu | A fix for ICQ within Pidgin is currently underway. Within a few days we should see it moved into the -updates repository. | 14:15 |
| Drk_Guy | inflex: 2.4.1 is latest on repos, but you can compile latest version from source, sudo apt-get build-dep pidgin, then download source and compile | 14:15 |
| inflex | Drk_Guy: danke, I'll do that | 14:15 |
| on5sl | sipior..when doing mkdir test form terminla it works :) | 14:15 |
| Jack_Sparrow | inflex If you need it sooner.. it will be on getdeb by this afternoon | 14:15 |

| stoo^ | can anyone help me please? performed a fresh hardy install from CD, seemed to install OK but on first boot it freezes after login but before loading the desktop | 14:16 |
| Drk_Guy | inflex: You might better wait for !icqbug solution | 14:16 |
| xel_ | stoo^ what GFX card you usin? | 14:16 |

| perlsyntax | how do i change my pth to this in gvim /home/perlsyntax/.vim/perl-support/scripts/pmdesc3.pl | 14:17 |
| sipior | on5sl: trick is to put the umask in .gnomerc, apparently... | 14:17 |
| xel_ | have you installed anything else other than ubuntu? | 14:17 |
| stoo^ | xp installs fine :P | 14:17 |
| Storm|In | Hey all | 14:17 |
| xel_ | no i ment like any other programs or packages | 14:17 |
| Storm|In | I got some busy box thing when i tryed to boot up ubuntu for the second time | 14:17 |
| Drk_Guy | Jack_Sparrow: GetDeb is fine, but i prefer compiling | 14:17 |
| Storm|In | any ideas what it is? | 14:17 |
| sipior | on5sl: you'll need to restart gnome in order for that change to take, of course | 14:17 |
| stoo^ | i dunno what you mean by that.. this is a brand new install of hardy using the whole disk | 14:17 |
| jeriath | security question: What does everyone recommend for a firewall for ubuntu | 14:17 |
| Jack_Sparrow | Drk_Guy Agreed, but many people like that quick deb fix.. | 14:18 |
| on5sl | thx for helping met sipior...i'll search some more on this error..so i understand it perfectly | 14:18 |
| jeriath | or security in general | 14:18 |
| stoo^ | i installed, i removed the cd, i rebooted, and now when i login it just sits there and never loads the desktop | 14:18 |
| Jack_Sparrow | !firewall | 14:18 |
| ubottu | Ubuntu, like any other linux distribution, has firewall capabilities built-in. The firewall is managed using the 'iptables' command (see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/IptablesHowTo), or GUI applications such as Firestarter (Gnome) or Guarddog (KDE). | 14:18 |
| xel_ | so you can reach the desktop | 14:18 |
| xel_ | on the cd | 14:18 |
| stoo^ | it doesn't freeze, i can still move the mouse etc, but the desktop never loads | 14:18 |
| xel_ | but not after install | 14:18 |
| inflex | Question - why do Windows people seem to think it's harder to install software on Ubunutu (eg, via the add/remove app tool) than in Windows ?? And how does one try and make them realise just how annoying getting/installing software for windows really is? | 14:18 |
| stoo^ | i can boot from livecd yes | 14:18 |
| Drk_Guy | lol Jack_Sparrow, it is reasonable, you don't want to mess up dependencies | 14:18 |
| Jack_Sparrow | jeriath you really dont need an ipotable manager/firewall in addition to the iptables | 14:18 |
| jeriath | well firestarter likes to have to gui crash, which means no logging | 14:18 |
| jeriath | and i kinda needed that last night and it wasnt there | 14:19 |
| xel_ | firestarter is great! | 14:19 |
| * inflex wonders how long before we start seeing Shrink-wrapped software for Ubuntu on shelves | 14:19 | |
| xel_ | stoo i dunno what to tell you bud | 14:19 |
| ogra | Jack_Sparrow, that bot entry should be updated to point to ufw (which is the default FW software shipped since hardy) | 14:19 |
| jeriath | firestarter crashes every few hours :/ | 14:19 |
| * inflex would love to put some of his software on shelves | 14:19 | |
| Drk_Guy | !info firestarter | 14:19 |
| ubottu | firestarter (source: firestarter): gtk program for managing and observing your firewall. In component universe, is optional. Version 1.0.3-6ubuntu3 (hardy), package size 393 kB, installed size 1952 kB | 14:19 |
| jeriath | it always has | 14:19 |
| xel_ | im new was just hoping it would be something maybe i have run into when i was getting started | 14:19 |
| Jack_Sparrow | jeriath MOst users are less safe with firestarter or guarddog than to ust leave the iptable rules alone | 14:19 |
| Storm|In | Question - I got some busy box thing when i tryed to boot up ubuntu for the second time. how do I get into ubuntu? | 14:19 |
| xel_ | from the little i know it sounds like X is hanging | 14:19 |
| stoo^ | it's so frustrating.. install went absolutely fine, everything looked ok, but when i removed the CD and rebooted and then logged in it just sat there | 14:20 |
| stoo^ | and every time i login it just sits there | 14:20 |
| xel_ | if the mouse still works then you should be able to still work with VIA ctrl+alt + some number should bring you to a shell | 14:20 |
| stoo^ | just a plain ubuntu tan coloured background and the mouse cursor | 14:20 |
| andycan | I need to run clean.sh file. When i try "sudo clean.sh" it tells me "clean.sh: command not found" | 14:20 |
| g6pd | howdy where is lang def in ubuntu 8.04 | 14:20 |
| g6pd | ? | 14:20 |
| xel_ | I would try this stoo | 14:20 |
| oskude | stoo^, try CTRL+ALT+F1 on boot to get the text console what all want to hide with "pretty" graphics... | 14:20 |
| xel_ | yeah | 14:21 |
| stoo^ | k | 14:21 |
| Drk_Guy | andycan: cd to the script's dir, then "sudo ./clean.sh" | 14:21 |
| * ovm is away: sus den xD | 14:21 | |
| xel_ | what oskude says | 14:21 |
| Jack_Sparrow | andycan How to install anything in Ubuntu: http://monkeyblog.org/ubuntu/installing/ | 14:21 |
| stoo^ | rebooting and trying that | 14:21 |
| xel_ | then if you get that i would try to command line install nvidia drivers right oskude? | 14:21 |
| andycan | Drk_Guy: thanks | 14:21 |
| Drk_Guy | andycan: np, i like helping newbs out | 14:21 |
| oskude | xel_, stoo^ first, you would see the messages from the systems there, and maybe get info where it hangs... | 14:21 |
| xel_ | ahhh | 14:22 |
| stoo^ | wow.. it spams the console with ATA errors on boot | 14:22 |
| Drk_Guy | stoo^: Then it's your MoBo's fault | 14:22 |
| andycan | Drk_Guy: Im not "that" much of a newbie you know... | 14:22 |
| Storm|In | Question - I got some busy box thing when i tryed to boot up ubuntu for the second time. how do I get into ubuntu? | 14:22 |
| oskude | stoo^, oh, that doesnt sound healthy... | 14:22 |
| Drk_Guy | andycan: XD, ok.... ;) | 14:22 |
| stoo^ | might be that i'm booting off an SDHC card | 14:22 |
| stoo^ | with an IDE to SD adaptor | 14:23 |
| xel_ | oskude, stoo^ I had a problem of this sorts when i first started out with linux and it turned out it needed the ATI drivers but in this case he is useing nvidia | 14:23 |
| oskude | xel_, the standard vesa driver should work with any card... | 14:23 |
| xel_ | ooooooo | 14:23 |
| === yakobmatrix_ is now known as yakobmatrix | ||
| xel_ | that would make scene cause it worked on the livecd | 14:24 |
| xel_ | <---- still learning | 14:24 |
| oskude | stoo^, aah, ive done this, hmm, i didnt have any problems installing debian on flash usb and ide, so dunno | 14:24 |
| xel_ | yeah stoo^ i would say thats what has changed since the live cd | 14:24 |
| Diegote | Hi all. I'm trying to install x-ttcidconf-conf in 8.04. Its documentation says that I should add a couple of FontPath's to xorg.conf, but when I open the xorg.conf file I don't see any FontPath lines. Where did they go? | 14:24 |
| stoo^ | well i have an IDE to SD adaptor and a 16GB SDHC card which i installed ubuntu on.. i assumed it would be ok since the mobo should just see it as a regular IDE hard drive | 14:25 |
| xel_ | so your trying to make it a bootable SD? | 14:25 |
| stoo^ | but obviously not | 14:25 |
| andycan | Drk_Guy: Can i use make dpkg instead of make? I compiled my kernel like that, it was really simple to uninstall later | 14:25 |
| xel_ | thats a neat idea | 14:25 |
| stoo^ | it is bootable.. it's booting ok (after spamming the console with error messages on boot) but then it just stops after login | 14:25 |
| Drk_Guy | andycan: If you want something "quick'n'dirty" use checkinstall, that creates a DEB out of source, but if you want something to distribute, read the packagint tut's | 14:26 |
| Drk_Guy | !packaging | andycan | 14:26 |
| ubottu | andycan: The packaging guide is at http://wiki.ubuntu.com/PackagingGuide - See https://wiki.ubuntu.com/UbuntuDevelopment/NewPackages for information on getting a package integrated into Ubuntu - Other developer resources are at https://wiki.ubuntu.com/UbuntuDevelopment - See also !backports | 14:26 |

| Vlet | mgray: http://wubi-installer.org/ | 14:39 |
| nixnoob | ZeroA4: i usually choose to stay one version behind but I went ahead with hardy because its LTS. | 14:39 |
| oskude | tvl, is this an usb or ps/2 or (even serial) mouse ? | 14:39 |

| Dr_willis | FuRom, fdisk can delete the partitiosn, which you can then remake and format. If the drive is having a hardware failure - that may be why it wont mount. | 14:49 |

| Dr_willis | FuRom, or use gparted | 14:50 |
| hiptobecubic | ferric84, well that's great. lol | 14:50 |
| FuRom | Dr_willis, thanks ^_^ | 14:50 |
| inflex | hrmm... is it right that I'm running Xorg 1.4.0.90 on Ubuntu 8.04? | 14:50 |
| poosenki | what's the easiest way to burn an image cd from hardy? | 14:51 |
| Drk_Guy | !info | cmake | 14:51 |
| ubottu | Sorry, I don't know anything about info | 14:51 |
| * inflex is using a Radeon 9250 card and it just seems to be really... sluggish | 14:51 | |
| Drk_Guy | poosenki: Double-click it | 14:51 |
| Dr_willis | poosenki, just douvle click on it.. and it should launch the gnome cd burner app. | 14:51 |
| Blinkiz | Does it exist any fancy GUI tool to view man pages? Just curious... | 14:52 |
| hiptobecubic | what does : GLib-GObject-CRITICAL **: g_object_unref: assertion `G_IS_OBJECT (object)' failed mean? | 14:52 |
| poosenki | Drk_Guy, Dr_willis: oh, haha, alright. that was easy | 14:52 |
| Drk_Guy | Blinkiz: It exists, but don't remember it, lol | 14:52 |
| Drk_Guy | poosenki: :) | 14:52 |
| inflex | Blinkiz: a bit hard to get 'fancy' with man pages :D | 14:52 |
| Vlet | Blinkiz: They're all text anyway | 14:52 |
| Dr_willis | Blinkiz, i know the kde file manager has the man:/manpage kioslave.. i was thinking gnome had a similer thing.. :) | 14:52 |
| inflex | Blinkiz: try xman | 14:52 |
| Dr_willis | man page 2 html :) | 14:52 |
| erUSUL | Blinkiz: system>help can view man pages | 14:53 |
| inflex | mmm.. no, xman doesn't seem right | 14:53 |
| magnetron | Blinkiz, yes. the software is called "yelp" | 14:53 |
| Vlet | love your terminal! :) | 14:53 |
| Dr_willis | Yelp - thats the sound my dog makes when i roll over his tail with my computer chair. | 14:53 |
| g6pd | <FuRom-- nuke it with boot&nuke (just that drive ) | 14:53 |
| Dedi | how do i set up the file permission for my homefolder (eg chmod 660) without messing up the folders (when using chmod -R) ? | 14:53 |
| Briareos_ | briareos: where are the default menue entries configured? | 14:53 |
| Dr_willis | Dedi, i tend to use the 'find' commmand to assist in such tasks.. let me check my scripts. | 14:54 |
| FuRom | g6pd, thanks, I'll google it, if what I'm currently tryin doesn't pan out ^_^ | 14:54 |
| Dr_willis | # Script to fix permissions on all files below current dir. ---> find -type f -print0 | xargs -0 chmod 664 | 14:54 |
| neiljmorrow | ping | 14:54 |
| Dedi | Dr_willis: i thank you | 14:54 |
| Blinkiz | magnetron: well, yelp does not seems to be able to read man pages. | 14:54 |
| * neiljmorrow pings room | 14:54 | |
| Dr_willis | Dedi, i got 2 scripts one for files, and one for dirs I use to 'fix' their permissions when they get messed up. | 14:54 |
| * FuRom bows to Dr_willis. | 14:55 | |
| Maarekstele | joaopinto: for VMware, will the player keep any changes made, or do I need the workstation installed to do that? | 14:55 |
| Dedi | Dr_willis: can you hand me the folder script too? :D | 14:55 |
| hiptobecubic | neiljmorrow, /ping | 14:55 |
| Dr_willis | Dedi, for directories its --> find -type d -print0 | xargs -0 chmod 755 | 14:55 |
| magnetron | Blinkiz, it is | 14:55 |
| Dr_willis | Dedi, the only change is the -d, and the mode. | 14:55 |
| Maarekstele | joaopinto: what I mean is that if I install anything during the player, will it keep track of my installs when I close out of the player? | 14:55 |
| joaopinto | Maarekstele, yes, the player keeps the changes | 14:56 |
| Dr_willis | Dedi, i got those 2 lines, in 2 scripts i call 'FixFiles' and 'FixDirs' :) | 14:56 |
| g6pd | <FuRom its called ''dban '' u mount it on floppy good way to utterly destroy everything (like when the cops come) :DD | 14:56 |
| Blinkiz | magnetron: okay. If I write "man virt-install" I get a man page. if I write "yelp virt-install", it says it can't find the file | 14:56 |
| Dedi | Dr_willis: thank you. got the same names ;)) | 14:56 |
| brut_win | Shutting down after a week! Test is successful! | 14:56 |
| Dedi | oh no, my second names fixfolders ;) | 14:56 |
| Dr_willis | Dedi, if you have a lot of nested files/dirs. You may need to run the commands more then one time. | 14:56 |
| Jack_Sparrow | Dr_willis Write a script that will restore permissions on all of the folders of a base ubuntu install.. | 14:57 |
| Dr_willis | Dedi, because some times it cant fix the files till the dir is fixed. | 14:57 |
| Blinkiz | magnetron: Well, its not important. Was just curious if someone had made a "fancy" gui for man pages.. :-) | 14:57 |
| Dr_willis | Jack_Sparrow, Ive never managed to mess those up. :) | 14:57 |
| magnetron | Blinkiz, you should start it without any arguments. | 14:57 |
| Dedi | Dr_willis: sure, thanks for remember me on that | 14:57 |
| Jack_Sparrow | Dr_willis It seems that lots of people have. | 14:57 |
| magnetron | Blinkiz, i am reading the man page for "man" in yelp as we speak :D | 14:57 |
| Dr_willis | Jack_Sparrow, a lot of people should think befor they act. :) | 14:58 |
| Sergeant_Pony | how come if I have my task bar to auto expand and keep on bottom it defaults to top on a reboot? | 14:58 |
| g6pd | <Dr_willis>------ Ive never managed to mess those up------ still young | 14:59 |
| hiptobecubic | Dr_willis, a lot of people do think and don't correctly guess the outcome of what they're doing | 14:59 |
| FuRom | g6pd, LMAO!!!!!!!!! I'm not worried about no cops checkin out my hard drive. | 14:59 |
| FuRom | g6pd, if I was, the hard drive would be nowhere to be found, for the rest of my life. xD | 14:59 |
| g6pd | <FuRom ofcourse not its just a phrase | 15:00 |
| magnetron | FuRom, if you ever enter the US, they will copy your hard drive | 15:00 |
| FuRom | magnetron, I live in the US. | 15:00 |
| g6pd | <FuRom- nuke it nuke it nuke it | 15:00 |
| magnetron | FuRom, if you ever visit somewhere else and re-enter, then they will also copy your hard drive | 15:00 |
| FuRom | g6pd, that was a good laugh man. It's note worthy xD | 15:00 |
| FuRom | magnetron, meh, my computer ain't leavin the US anytime soon ^_^ | 15:01 |
| Jack_Sparrow | FuRom DOnt take that info lightly | 15:01 |
| FuRom | Jack_Sparrow, which info? ._. | 15:01 |
| mib_w5u9234b | Ubuntu > Windows | 15:01 |

| FuRom | Jack_Sparrow, the thing about my hard drive being copied upon entering the US? | 15:02 |
| ASULutzy | Dr_willis: You are old, I was 1 year old then ;) | 15:02 |
| Dr_willis | ASULutzy, i got PC's older then you! :) | 15:02 |

| greenfishx3 | whats the fastest command to rename a file in bash+ | 15:02 |
| mien07 | how can i run .exe files?? do ihave to install wine?/ I already have it..but i dont know how to use it..pls help | 15:02 |
| ASULutzy | greenfishx3: mv | 15:02 |
| Dr_willis | greenfishx3, i would try 'rename' or 'mv' :) | 15:02 |
| mien07 | how can i run .exe files?? do ihave to install wine?/ I already have it..but i dont know how to use it..pls hel' | 15:02 |
| Dr_willis | mien07, 'wine /path/to/whatever.exe' | 15:03 |
| Jack_Sparrow | mien07 /join #winehq | 15:03 |
| greenfishx3 | oh its that easy lol thanks ASULutzy Dr_willis | 15:03 |
| Dr_willis | mien07, actually if you double click on a .exe after installing wine it 'should' run. | 15:03 |
| FuRom | Jack_Sparrow, I ain't got nothing worth noting on my hard drive. Nothin illegal or anything. I'm in no way worried. There is some intellectual properties that are mine, and if I ever caught anyone using them, I'd fry their systems, even if it was uncle Sam. xD | 15:03 |
| pen | how do I make powertop auto start when in battery? | 15:03 |
| mib_w5u9234b | 'm stuck a prompt that says (initramfs) <----- to not have that come up anymore, boot up windows, then reboot the computer again, then boot ubuntu | 15:03 |
| mib_w5u9234b | and it shouldn't come up anymore | 15:03 |
| mib_w5u9234b | always works for me | 15:03 |
| Jack_Sparrow | FuRom np.. | 15:03 |
| mien07 | it doesnt work when i execute .exe files after installing it | 15:04 |
| Jack_Sparrow | mien07 /join #winehq they are the wine support people | 15:04 |
| mien07 | it doesnt work when i execute .exe files after installing it dr. willis | 15:04 |
| FuRom | Jack_Sparrow, I need some extra storage space, and decided my 40 gig that I let windows waste space on, could make me some money. xD | 15:04 |
| mib_w5u9234b | hmm, so when you first install ubuntu that prompt comes up? | 15:04 |
| Bogaurd | mib_w5u9234b: this is a headless server running only ubuntu :) I know what the problem is, my grub config file is messed up, I need to edit it to reflect my correct raid array settings, but I dont seem to have any editors in that shell :P | 15:04 |
| Dr_willis | mien07, try the command line way then. | 15:05 |
| greenfishx3 | ASULutzy: Dr_willis how do you take care of spaces? im trying to rename a file using tab for faster view, but i cant locate it since theres a lot of spaces | 15:05 |
| mien07 | how? | 15:05 |
| Hulk | hallo, bin neu hier | 15:05 |
| ASULutzy | Bogaurd: That's one thing I realllly wish Ubuntu would fix. Ubuntu absolutely hates booting from a degraded array. What's the point of having a RAID-1 if Ubuntu won't boot from it easily without having to fiddle with stuff | 15:05 |
| Dr_willis | greenfishx3, with fancy quoteing -> 'file with spaces' | 15:05 |
| Stavroulis | hi pals. i have a question. can i burn an .iso file using only terminal? | 15:05 |
| Dr_willis | greenfishx3, or 'escape' the spaces file\ with\ spaces | 15:05 |
| === mib_w5u9234b is now known as OS_X | ||
| oskude | Bogaurd, you know that you can edit the startup setting of grub also from the grup "start up screen", just press "e" on the menu item you want to edit (or i missed your point) | 15:05 |
| undadecor | Stravroulis: yes | 15:05 |
| ASULutzy | greenfishx3: either use quotes or put a backslash before the spaces, like cd /media/windows/c/program\ files/ | 15:05 |
| Hulk | wer spricht deutsch | 15:06 |
| greenfishx3 | thanks Dr_willis and ASULutzy | 15:06 |
| Bogaurd | oskude: oh, nice. I didnt know that! will do that now :D | 15:06 |
| Dr_willis | Spaces in files name = Bad Karma. :) | 15:06 |

| jessid | Hello. I have 2 little questions. First of all, i have a HP pavilion dv6000 notebook with Ubuntu 8.04. How can i make the suspend function work? the keyboard is in english, but some times i have to use special characters found in spanish distribution, but I have to remove that distribution and then add it again...In ubuntu 7.04 i didnt have to do that....thanks a lot!!! | 15:07 |

| Stavroulis | undadecor: thanks pal ;) | 15:10 |
| ASULutzy | So as far as I can tell this is a Windows problem, not an Intrepid/Hardy/Ubuntu/Virtualbox problem, but figured I'd ask to make sure... I've got a .vdi image that has XP on it, it boots fine in Hardy, but when I use Virtualbox in Intrepid it goes to the Windows menu about safe mode, or boot normally etc, and no matter what I pick it blue screens and reboots immediately. Who's to blame? :P I want to say Windows since VB is tech | 15:10 |
| Vegombrei | hi .. is there a winamp for ubuntu ? | 15:10 |
| Vegombrei | whats the best mp3 player ?? | 15:11 |
| ASULutzy | Vegombrei: I'd use amarok, it's a really good music playing app | 15:11 |
| on5sl | sipior: what do you think about this bug...? i think is is worth a higher priority...shares are becoming more and more common...and when in the next release of ubuntu mounten shares becomes more easy it will cause a lot of problems for new users i think | 15:11 |
| ASULutzy | !best | Vegombrei | 15:11 |
| ubottu | Vegombrei: 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. | 15:11 |
| oskude | Vegombrei, audacious | 15:11 |
| pen | how do I make powertop auto start when in battery? | 15:11 |
| Dr_willis | Vegombrei, audacious is nice. look in the package maanger - thers a dozen to chose from | 15:11 |
| Dr_willis | 4!media | 15:11 |
| zelrikriando | any FF expert here? | 15:11 |
| Dr_willis | !media | 15:11 |

| achadwick | ASULutzy: Try different ACPI/APIC etc. settings? Different HAL maybe. | 15:11 |
| Dr_willis | Vegombrei, xmms is no longer in Hardy.. :) so ignore that one. | 15:11 |
| jessid | Vegombrei there are a lot. Perhaps you want to try rhythmbox for gnome, or amarok for kde | 15:11 |
| |v|4s7e|2 | how do i set a folder and all sub files and folders readable and writable to everyone | 15:12 |
| subrock | hmm, this system freezes totally when I try to check the hard disks I have, I mean I prolly am mounting them to check windows formatted areas, then it asks the password and I prollly have given the wrong one, and this system totally freezes | 15:12 |
| undadecor | zelrikriando: ask a question and maybe we can help | 15:12 |
| ASULutzy | achadwick: Yea, good thought, I'm at work now, so I don't know if I should be fiddling with Alpha software on company time, but we'll see ;) | 15:12 |
| sipior | on5sl: well, it should certainly be fixed in an LTS release, for the reasons stated there. | 15:12 |
| OliverKrueger | [locales] In which packages can I checkbox my locales (with dpkg-reconfigure)? | 15:12 |
| Vegombrei | E: Could not get lock /var/cache/apt/archives/lock - open (11 Resource temporarily unavailable) | 15:12 |
| Vegombrei | E: Unable to lock the download directory | 15:12 |
| Vegombrei | i get an error like this | 15:12 |
| subrock | well, it's not the problem really, the problem is that I do not know how I can check the disc quota, available space on hard drive etc. | 15:12 |
| on5sl | sipior: so should i do something now? | 15:13 |
| ASULutzy | Vegombrei Do you have more than one package manager open at once? (You can't have synaptic, and update manager, and aptitude, etc) going at once | 15:13 |
| zelrikriando | undadecor, I want to force firefox to open a unique window and to not re-open a window once the first one is there...but a new tab instead | 15:13 |
| Vegombrei | ASULutzy: nope | 15:13 |
| ASULutzy | !dpkg | Vegombrei | 15:13 |
| ubottu | Vegombrei: dpkg is the Debian package maintenance system, which together with apt forms the basic Ubuntu package management toolkit. | 15:13 |
| sipior | on5sl: not much you really can do about this, at the moment. | 15:13 |
| OliverKrueger | Vegombrei: tried sudo or root? | 15:13 |
| nixnoob | how do i create a simple gui application that allows the user to choose from running one of two scripts and runs in the notifcation area? | 15:13 |
| ASULutzy | Oops, what's the factoid that tells you how to force unlock.... | 15:14 |
| zelrikriando | undadecor, I already managed to do that for when I click on links and stuff but I want it to keep just 1 window at all times | 15:14 |
| on5sl | sipior: so for now making dir's with and chmod them with terminal... | 15:14 |
| Vegombrei | ASULutzy: should i apt-get dpkg ?? | 15:14 |
| Jack_Sparrow | nixnoob You need to find a programming channel | 15:14 |
| ASULutzy | Vegombrei: No lol | 15:14 |
| Jack_Sparrow | !aptfix | 15:14 |
| ubottu | If an APT front-end crashed and your database is locked, try this in a !terminal: « sudo fuser -vki /var/lib/dpkg/lock;sudo dpkg --configure -a » | 15:14 |
| Dr_willis | !fixadept | 15:14 |

| mohkohn | I am in ubuntu at this moment on iMac hardware. I will reboot into osx to see if that is the problem | 15:15 |
| Vegombrei | ASULutzy: well ?? | 15:15 |
| undadecor | zelrikriando: i'm having a little trouble understanding. it gives you multiple windows when you run firefox? | 15:15 |
| nixnoob | Jack_Sparrow: ill just post in the programming section on the forum, i just thought i'd get a quicker response here. | 15:15 |
| ASULutzy | Vegombrei: sudo fuser -vki /var/lib/dpkg/lock;sudo dpkg --configure -a | 15:15 |
| zelrikriando | undadecor, when I click on the FF icon twice...I have 2 windows | 15:15 |

| oskude | nixnoob, zenity is a nice gtk-gui tool for bash, but dunno if it can work as you describe.. (last i looked it could only do messages on the notification area) | 15:15 |
| Jack_Sparrow | nixnoob there are irc channels like bash and c++ | 15:15 |
| perlsyntax | if i have vim in the term how do i print from it so i can get a copy from my printer? | 15:15 |
| mohkohn | and probably the last | 15:15 |
| undadecor | zelrikriando: what happens if you click once? | 15:15 |
| zelrikriando | undadecor, open one window | 15:16 |
| undadecor | zelrikriando: is that what you want? | 15:16 |
| nixnoob | Jack_Sparrow: i dont kno what tool i need and hence what channel i need, this will be my first attempt at anything even resembling programming. | 15:16 |
| psykidellic | Hello. So I have a python script which traverses through a directory with around 60K XML and for each XML found calls anotther app called "AAA" to do some processing on the XML. I started the python process like: nohup python pythonscrip.py. Now in the morning, I had to kill it due to some other technical issue. But whenever I do top, I see the process "AAA" running. How much I try to kill it, another process gets started with "AAA". | 15:16 |
| ASULutzy | Vegombrei: Thenyou could do sudo apt-get install amarok (or audacious, or whatever) I prefer amarok, lots of others in here voted for audacious | 15:16 |
| psykidellic | i even did "killall -9 AAA" | 15:16 |
| Vegombrei | ASULutzy: already done ... i get the same error ... | 15:16 |
| joaopinto | psykidellic, you need to kill AAA's parent process, check the PPID on ps | 15:17 |
| zelrikriando | undadecor, my question simple : I want 1 FF window....not 2 not 30...1 and this no matter what I might do | 15:17 |
| ASULutzy | Vegombrei: Did you do the first command I gave? sudo fuser -vki /var/lib/dpkg/lock;sudo dpkg --configure -a | 15:17 |
| subrock | is there any easy way of finding out how much of my discspace is used? | 15:17 |
| zelrikriando | undadecor, does that clarify it? :) | 15:17 |
| ASULutzy | subrock: df -h | 15:17 |
| Jack_Sparrow | nixnoob The easiest would be a gui/icon launcher for a bash script | 15:17 |
| undadecor | zelrikriando: yes. i don't know how to make it so that it will ignore you calling up a firefox instance. each time you click on the icon another instance is started | 15:17 |
| undadecor | zelrikriando: it's designed that way on purpose | 15:18 |
| undadecor | zelrikriando: you click once it starts one instance | 15:18 |
| yakobmatrix | does anyone know how to install microsoft core fonts in ubuntu? | 15:18 |
| masood | does anyone know why pidgin version in hardy's repo is "1:2.4.1 ..." instead of "2.4.1 ..."? | 15:18 |
| undadecor | zelrikriando: you click twice it starts two instances | 15:18 |
| undadecor | zelrikriando: so just click once | 15:18 |
| Vegombrei | ASULutzy: yes i did ... it accpeted that .. as in came back to the bash prompt .. so i assume there were no errors | 15:18 |
| zelrikriando | undadecor, I dont like it :) I want it to be like opera | 15:18 |
| Jack_Sparrow | yakobmatrix sudo apt-get install msttcorefonts | 15:18 |

| joaopinto | nixnoob, I don't think you can implement a notification area based app from a shell script | 15:18 |
| undadecor | zelrikriando: why do you click it multiple times? | 15:18 |
| ASULutzy | Vegombrei: And what does sudo apt-get update && sudo apt-get upgrade say? | 15:18 |
| joaopinto | except for sending popups, but not for a menu based app | 15:19 |
| zelrikriando | undadecor, a mistake can happen | 15:19 |
| yakobmatrix | ok thanks Jack_Sparrow | 15:19 |

| undadecor | zelrikriando: and delete the shortcut icon | 15:19 |

| masood | it did show in case of transmission | 15:22 |
| Jack_Sparrow | Vegombrei pastebin your /etc/apt/sources.list | 15:22 |

| masood | jack_sparrow: is there a way to ask apt-get or aptitude to install a specific version of the software in repo? | 15:24 |
| oskude | pen, well, you could do a script that checks in /proc/...somewhere if it in battery mode and then launch powertop. and then just add this to your crontabs to execute in the interval you want... but this is over the scope of this channel... | 15:24 |
| psykidellic | joaopinto: I thought so. I guess because I ran the python process with nohup | 15:24 |
| mjtunes | is there a command on kubuntu to do system restore | 15:24 |
| Vegombrei | when i paste /etc/apt/sources.list it says permission denied | 15:24 |

| psykidellic | joaopinto: so what is the best to solve such issue? | 15:25 |
| Vegombrei | Jack_Sparrow: how do i see my sources list ? | 15:25 |
| psykidellic | reboot? | 15:25 |
| joaopinto | psykidellic, but that is odd, init should not restat a process when it is killed, unless it is started from inittab | 15:26 |

| _Brun0_ | Ziroday, that's tha lazzy man's way. i want to keep firefox-3. but i want to use firefox 2 as default. | 16:05 |
| AhmadSherif | Jack_Sparrow, I mean that, for example, Transmission has released version 1.22 and there is nothing from update manager | 16:05 |
| Jack_Sparrow | Serellyn what version of ubuntu | 16:05 |
| Serellyn | the newest | 16:05 |

| Serellyn | an older version, does work | 16:05 |
| joaopinto | AhmadSherif, only critical fixes are provided on updates, not new versions | 16:05 |
| unohu | u can change that to the actual path of firefox2 ..cant u ? | 16:06 |

| _Brun0_ | joaopinto, yea! i remembered! thank you! it is that.. now i'll google for it | 16:07 |
| Jack_Sparrow | AhmadSherif correct... unless someone verifies that it does not mess up something else and takes the time to package it.. it will not be in the repos.. If you must have the very latest release of something you need to build it yourself. 6 months old in a windows app.. is nothing, people see a release of something 30 days ago and just must have it.. go figure | 16:07 |

| yerbaby | Ajku|a, try blacklisting the module. In a terminal: | 16:27 |
| yerbaby | sudo kate /etc/modprobe.d/blacklist | 16:27 |
| yerbaby | and add this at the end: | 16:27 |
| yerbaby | # floppy driver since I don't have one | 16:27 |
| yerbaby | blacklist floppy | 16:27 |
| yerbaby | Also, if in the file /etc/fstab there is an entry like this: | 16:27 |
| yerbaby | /dev/fd0 /media/floppy0 auto rw,user,noauto 0 0 | 16:27 |
| yerbaby | Add a # in front. | 16:27 |

| Cyndrework | how do I make XCHAT- Gnome auto ident me? | 17:05 |
| soundray | God420: the menu.lst and the fdisk -l output you pastebinned don't fit together. I can't get a clear picture of your problem. | 17:05 |
| Coggz | andy_: i have tried a usb memory stick, usb card reader and a usb hdd(in a camera) | 17:05 |
| God420 | soundray: so what do i do | 17:06 |
| slayton | anybody know how to compile python modules into debian packages? | 17:06 |
| xtknight | Coggz, (this is andy_ now). so hda5 is what file system? | 17:06 |
| soundray | God420: I don't have a basis upon which to give you advice | 17:06 |
| articM | i just started with the ubuntu/linux thing its pretty hard to start with xD | 17:06 |
| soundray | articM: are you coming from Windows? | 17:07 |
| God420 | soundray: can I just remove ubuntu with addremove programs? | 17:07 |

| Nimblefinger | and even if you could, that may not be wise if your dad had it installed? | 17:07 |

| element | does anybody know any spain proxy? | 17:07 |
| Coggz | hda5 is not neccessarily the problem, xtknight, different names. They all worked before, I think one may be fat 16, one fat 32 and the other im not sure (maybe ntfs???) | 17:08 |
| articM | for the things i saw i am liking it pretty much | 17:08 |
| God420 | anyone here from littleton colorado | 17:08 |

| mmanning | anyone familiar with hda-intel and distorted sound, I have googled but to no avail. | 17:08 |
| xtknight | Coggz, can you pastebin your dmesg? | 17:08 |
| dangergrrl | God420: why did i guess you were my neighbor | 17:08 |
| Red_Wraith | God420: if you want windows, just try rebooting. That means to go to the menu, choose shutdown, and choose restart. Your computer will restart, and you will get a black and white menu where you can scroll down with the arrow keys and choose windows. Then you can run warcraft in windows. | 17:08 |
| Jack_Sparrow | God420 the best advice we can give is walk away and do nothing. | 17:08 |

| xtknight | Coggz, so i am a little confused, tihs happens with every usb device you plug in no matter what it is and no matter what block device it is? and these drives mount on other PCs fine? | 17:12 |
| Red_Wraith | Jack_Sparrow: Well, then he's probably done something that will only get worse if we try to help him. Terminal commands can get very screwy. It's best if he lays off and lets his dad handle it when he gets home. | 17:12 |

| Coggz | how do i unmount in konsole (opposite of mount)? | 17:34 |
| praet | Coggz: umount | 17:34 |
| joaopinto | Coggz, sudo umount /mount_point | 17:34 |
| DeFirence | joaopinto, i need the script to be able to query the database | 17:34 |
| Coggz | aha | 17:34 |
| joaopinto | DeFirence, so just do it using a platform scripting language, like php or python | 17:35 |
| joaopinto | erm, a platform independent... | 17:35 |
| GreyGhost|AFK | Nimblefinger, do you have all the dependencies you need to compile? | 17:35 |
| DeFirence | i cant rewrite the script for native linux becuase its 5000 lines | 17:35 |
| Nimblefinger | I can't find any errors in the cmake either | 17:35 |

| Jaseem | Hello. I have a doubt. | 17:36 |
| Nimblefinger | ahhh, this could be the problem, on there it doesn't believe I have it | 17:36 |
| joaopinto | mcargile, getdeb | 17:36 |
| ikonia | mcargile: wait for ubuntu to release the fix package | 17:36 |
| Jaseem | Any body there can help me? | 17:36 |

| dgonza | Hi | 17:38 |
| Master9 | how do i add an ethernet card | 17:38 |
| ^CanadaGuy27 | question, is there anyway to auto start an application in a 2nd workspace? | 17:38 |
| id10t | anyone know if there is a log of packages removed when doing an upgrade from 7.10 to 8.04? | 17:38 |
| Coggz | how do i restart the hal daemon? | 17:38 |
| ru_ | /etc/init.d/hal force-reload | 17:39 |
| Belial_ | Coggz: sudo /etc/init.d/hald restart i think, tabcomplete the last part if it complains | 17:39 |

| linuxcore | Hello, there is none? someone has managed to operate the M-Audio Fast Track Ultra on hardy? | 17:39 |
| madtom36 | oops | 17:39 |
| linuxcore | I posted on the forum but still no answer! here the post >> http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?p=5305344#post5305344 | 17:39 |
| sipior | Master9: generally, if the card is supported, it should be detected automatically at boot. | 17:39 |
| rampageoberon | ikonia: thanks for the reply, I thought thats how it was set but tried it and found it was not. and i don't have any shutdown-set command | 17:39 |
| sipior | Master9: or do you mean to ask how you should configure the card once it's working? | 17:39 |
| madtom36 | master9: if you have more than one card you should also see in in the network-manager applet | 17:40 |
| ikonia | rampageoberon: what username did you use to setup ubuntu at install time | 17:40 |
| Master9 | sipior: it was working, i added a second ethernet card, but it didn't work so i removed it, then my old ethernet card didn't work | 17:40 |
| rampageoberon | jilan is what i used, but i created a new user not part of the admin usergroup and tried with that | 17:40 |
| sipior | Master9: could you pastebin the output of "/sbin/ifconfig"? | 17:40 |
| ikonia | rampageoberon: that new user - if you do "sudo apt-get update" does that allow it or not ? | 17:41 |
| Jaseem | Hi I can't connect to internet using Ubuntu. | 17:41 |
| rampageoberon | no it doesn't ikonia | 17:41 |
| sipior | Master9: and also, if you could, the contents of the file /etc/network/interfaces | 17:41 |
| Red_Wraith | Jaseem: elaborate. | 17:41 |
| madtom36 | im here with xchat-gnome, is anyone aware off a "better" irc-client for gnome? | 17:41 |
| ikonia | rampageoberon: now that is very odd/unexpected | 17:41 |
| id10t | unop, thanks! perfect. | 17:41 |
| rampageoberon | madtom36: xchat is better than xchat-gnome i think | 17:41 |
| sipior | i tend to agree :-) | 17:42 |
| madtom36 | ok, xchat, someone else with other suggestions? | 17:42 |
| Jaseem | I am using broadband from BSNL. It had been working with XP perfectly. Now i installed ubuntu and can't use internet in it? | 17:42 |
| Red_Wraith | Jaseem: what kind of connection do you have (dial-up, dsl), does it run on Static or Dynamic IP? | 17:42 |
| ikonia | rampageoberon: you could remove x permissions from the world in /sbin/shutdown | 17:42 |
| Master9 | sipior, id have to type it all manually, its on a different comp | 17:42 |
| rampageoberon | ikonia: yeah, i thought so myself, it was different when i tried the same with v7.1 | 17:42 |
| ikonia | rampageoberon: that would stop it | 17:42 |
| ^CanadaGuy27 | guys is there no way to start an app in 2nd workspace by default? | 17:42 |
| vehystrix | is there any way I can have my computer send a keystroke (space, followed by a left mouseclick) to an application every minute? | 17:42 |
| rampageoberon | ikonia: okay let me try that | 17:42 |
| Jaseem | I have Automatic IP and it keeps changing. | 17:42 |
| Coggz | brb guys | 17:42 |
| sipior | Master9: in that case, just look to see if any interfaces are currently running, with ip addresses assigned. see if they match the entry in /etc/network/interfaces | 17:43 |
| Red_Wraith | Jaseem: Go to System>Administration>Networking. | 17:43 |
| madtom36 | canadaguy: i guess you have no chance | 17:43 |
| Master9 | sipior, /etc/network/interfaces is empty, ifconfig shows lo and sit0 | 17:43 |
| id10t | ^CanadaGuy27, you may be able to specify a specific window, but i'm not sure on the desktop/workspace. i do know that apps tend to appear on whatever workspace is currently active when it finally loads after launch | 17:43 |
| sipior | Master9: empty? that isn't right... | 17:43 |
| Red_Wraith | Jaseem: There you should see your network card. Is it activated? | 17:44 |
| Jaseem | I can see three options. | 17:44 |
| sipior | Master9: do you happen to remember the ethernet device your old card had before? | 17:44 |
| soundray | Jaseem: can you give more detail about your network hardware -- is it a NIC? Modem? Do you have a router? | 17:44 |
| ikonia | rampageoberon: bug #54034 on launchpad | 17:44 |
| ubottu | Launchpad bug 54034 in xfce4-panel "XFCE Kiosk Mode Broken" [Low,Fix released] https://launchpad.net/bugs/54034 | 17:44 |
| Jaseem | One says something like wired connection. The second one is similar and third one is something related to ppp | 17:45 |
| Master9 | sipior, eth0, the card doesn't show up in lspci either | 17:45 |
| ikonia | rampageoberon: sorry bug #47834 | 17:45 |
| ubottu | Launchpad bug 47834 in xfce4-session "LTSP Users are allowed to shut down LTSP server" [Medium,Fix released] https://launchpad.net/bugs/47834 | 17:45 |
| id10t | sipior Master9 - look at /etc/iftab - it keeps a list of mac addresses and ethX devices in it | 17:45 |
| rampageoberon | ikonia: thanks, i'll read through that | 17:45 |
| Jaseem | I have a white box which have 5 leds blinking on it. | 17:45 |
| sipior | Master9: are you sure the card is seated properly? | 17:45 |
| Master9 | sipior: checked many times, also, /etc/iftab doesn't exist | 17:46 |
| ^CanadaGuy27 | thanks id10t :) | 17:46 |
| mikek1024 | When Ubuntu loads, my taskbar and menu bar are missing. All it shows is the desktop icons. Is there someone I could talk to about this? | 17:46 |
| Jaseem | The labels above the leds says Power, Status, ADSL, ethernet, USB | 17:46 |
| pat___ | does anyone know much about tracing memory leaks? | 17:46 |
| Jaseem | I don't know what it is called. | 17:46 |
| Red_Wraith | Jaseem: if you have broadband with dynamic IP, wired connection should be checked, and it should say address: dhcp. | 17:46 |
| sipior | Master9: might consider booting with the ubuntu live cd, to see the original install would still work | 17:46 |
| soundray | Jaseem: is this connected to your computer via USB? | 17:46 |
| Coggz | Im back... | 17:47 |
| Pyramide | well...no matter what combination of update-grub and grub-install I use, the bootmenu just does not change | 17:47 |
| Red_Wraith | wb Coggz. | 17:47 |
| Master9 | sipior: ill remove the card and insert it into a different slot, see if that does anything, otherwise i think my trusty 15 yo 3com card finally died | 17:47 |
| joaopinto | Pyramide, do you have mutiple linux partitions ? | 17:47 |
| Jaseem | How can i know if it is connected using USB? There is two wires connecting the box and computer. | 17:47 |
| dgonza | Español?? | 17:47 |
| joaopinto | !es | dgonza | 17:48 |
| Pyramide | yes, the old one which is now deactivated and the new one | 17:48 |
| ubottu | dgonza: En la mayoría de canales Ubuntu se comunica en inglés. Para ayuda en Español, por favor entre en los canales #ubuntu-es o #kubuntu-es. | 17:48 |
| Pyramide | deactivated = type ff | 17:48 |
| sipior | Master9: yep, but be sure to try the live cd as well, before writing the card off. still, 15 years, the card didn't owe you anything :-) | 17:48 |
| joaopinto | Pyramide, probably grub is pointing to the old partition | 17:48 |
| joaopinto | and reading the menu.lst from it | 17:48 |
| Pyramide | how would it be able to read a file from it when it can't boot from it | 17:49 |
| gronne | how do you know all the ubottu-commands? there are thousands of them | 17:49 |
| Jaseem | One wire is USB and other have two red leds blinking where it is connected with cpu | 17:49 |
| Vin_ | Anybody know how to solve Ubuntu 8.04 mixer volume control problem on Toshiba laptop? | 17:49 |
| joaopinto | Pyramide, he data is still there, regardless if you can boot from it or not | 17:49 |
| Coggz | AAGH, still wrong fs type, bad option... etc | 17:49 |
| Pyramide | and how do I configure from where it reads the menu.lst? | 17:49 |
| Jaseem | I am backward in technical knowledge. | 17:49 |
| mikek1024 | When Ubuntu loads, my taskbar and menu bar are missing. All it shows is the desktop icons. any suggestions? | 17:50 |
| rampageoberon | ikonia: Hmm, both those bugs were related to xfce, is there something for gnome? | 17:50 |
| Vin_ | Anybody know how to solve Ubuntu 8.04 mixer volume control problem on Toshiba laptop? | 17:50 |
| Red_Wraith | mikek1024: try right clicking on the screen and selecting New Panel | 17:50 |
| ikonia | rampageoberon: potentially - give me a minute or too, the principal of the bug is the same, if not the details | 17:50 |
| funkyHat | Vin_: probably, what's the problem? | 17:50 |
| soundray | Jaseem: the one with the blinking LEDs: is it an RJ45 connection? Look up an image of RJ45 on the web if you are unsure. | 17:50 |
| rampageoberon | ikonia: okay, thanks again :) | 17:51 |

| zoddan | ? | 17:52 |
| Pyramide | joaopinto: there is "## default grub root device | 17:52 |

| Red_Wraith | mikek1024: sorry then, I don't know too much about gnome, can't help you further. | 17:53 |
| joaopinto | Pyramide, to be honest I can't figure where does grub get the menu.lst location from | 17:53 |
| funkyHat | *information | 17:53 |
| zoddan | unop: i guess www-data is owner as starndard? | 17:53 |
| mikek1024 | Red_Wraith: Hey thanks for trying | 17:54 |
| soundray | Jaseem: okay. What you seem to have is a combination of a router and a modem. | 17:54 |
| Vin_ | MY laptp is toshiba satellite A 100 | 17:54 |
| unop | zoddan, i believe root:root own /var/www | 17:54 |
| Jaseem | What should I do then to connect to internet. | 17:54 |
| soundray | Jaseem: it's generally more difficult to configure a modem with Linux, so let's try to set it up as a router. | 17:54 |

| Master9 | any good console browsers other than lynx?? | 17:55 |

| joaopinto | Pyramide, yes, that would not be a good option | 17:55 |
| Pyramide | joaopinto: I did sudo update-grub, sudo grub-install /dev/sda and sudo grub-install /dev/sdb | 17:55 |
| unop | zoddan, root is not disabled, its account is locked so as to prevent a login -- but it is still active, there can be no functional system without root | 17:55 |

| soundray | Jaseem: no, Windows will work with it as well, once it's set up as a router. You would have to change your network configuration in Windows, though. | 18:05 |
| ru_ | ScripterJ, i guess it's time to reinstall windows :-) | 18:06 |

| Flannel | gverig: Is what? | 18:10 |
| gverig | Flannel: you said "8.04.1 is stuff in -updates and -security". But is that stuff already in official 'updates' or is it still being tested? | 18:11 |
| Flannel | gverig: Things in -security and -updates have already been tested. Those are official updates. Stuff in -proposed is being tested, and depending on when it moves to -updates, may or may not actually be in 8.04.1 | 18:11 |
| Flannel | gverig: By default, your install includes -updates and -security, and you've been applying those updates since Hardy was released | 18:12 |

| gavi | XScreenSaver extension development headers not found. | 18:13 |

| soundray | Jaseem: here's what I suggest: ask your internet provider to supply a manual for your router. Then you'll be able to set up the device as a router (rather than as a modem), and you'll be able to use it from both Linux and Windows. | 18:15 |

| disasm | hey all, I built a vm using ubuntu-vm-builder, and everything installed fine, except no kernel was installed. It first failed without building because I told it to do a virtual flavor for a 64bit install, so I changed it to server, and the install went through fine, except on bootup it's stuck at a grub screen and no kernels exist in (hd0,0)/boot | 19:26 |

| white_lightning | I'm having trouble with an access file. It's a form we use for work that has an .adp extension. Is there any programs that can handle that file on linux? open office can't do it, access in wine doesn't like it | 19:27 |
| docmax | ok i found out | 19:28 |
| slayton | Stormx2, that would be great but not required | 19:28 |
| jussi01 | slayton: also look at quanta+ | 19:28 |
| wuxia | what's the ubuntu way to fix a stuck pixel? | 19:28 |
| docmax | its acpid | 19:28 |
| Stormx2 | slayton: bluefish is good for stuff, that's aimed at HTML and PHP | 19:28 |

| surplusxmas | Stormx2: Thank you. | 19:28 |
| Stormx2 | You're better off coding by hand, of course. | 19:28 |
| Stormx2 | white_lightning: it's a database? | 19:28 |
| === seanw is now known as SeanW | ||
| === Onebeer is now known as onebeer | ||
| Stormx2 | NeowiN: What with? | 19:29 |
| white_lightning | Stormx2: it's an access form that when filled out gathers data from another database (sql) and then generates a report with that information | 19:29 |
| Stormx2 | Oh blimey. nvu = composer. | 19:29 |
| Stormx2 | white_lightning, you'll be lucky to get that running, I suspect. Even so, run a search in synaptic for "database", see if anything interesting comes up | 19:30 |
| Stormx2 | I think there were some good DB packages | 19:30 |
| bullgard5 | Since gutsy2hardy upgrade my second GNOME-Terminal does not open after restart with its old size but a smaller one although I told session manager to remember its old size. How to repair this? | 19:30 |

| saint-takeshi | lucas: that depends...what kind of help do you need? | 19:47 |
| Stormx2 | Mimi: I used to get that too. Could you pop open a terminal and type "uname -a" (without the quotes) and hit enter. Gimme the output. | 19:47 |
| ompaul | !firestarter | lucas_ | 19:47 |
| ubottu | lucas_: Ubuntu, like any other linux distribution, has firewall capabilities built-in. The firewall is managed using the 'iptables' command (see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/IptablesHowTo), or GUI applications such as Firestarter (Gnome) or Guarddog (KDE). | 19:47 |

| antonsky | hi | 19:53 |
| antonsky | now i know the reason | 19:53 |

| ASULutzy | kk_ubuntu: It's complicated, for one your battery holds less and less charge the older it gets, secondly your processor speed and brightness and other things are probably set to change based on certain criteria. For example my brightness dims when I unplug my laptop from AC, also my power management for disks changes, lots of things happen | 20:00 |

| ASULutzy | neospd: It's a known problem, the only work arounds I know of are either to a) stop using compiz while using openGL apps by typing metacity --replace &, or by going to the compiz-config-settings-manager and turning on disable full screen redirect (this fix only works for full screen apps) | 20:01 |

| ASULutzy | Luxx16126: What are you talking about? | 20:01 |

| unop | whochismo, if your mount-point requires authentication (a user and password to connect) then it's the user/password of the samba server that is used | 20:04 |
| ASULutzy | neospd: I explained it up above. read | 20:04 |
| Dot2Kode | RonLut: got me on that one partner...I have had them not copy though and still work just fine when i burn fast...i always burn system disks and any other disks for that matter sloooowwww..hehe..tends to work better...probably because my computer is one pile of fail though...hehe | 20:04 |
| ASULutzy | Luxx16126: Once you edit your xorg.conf the settings won't take effect until you restart X by pushing ctrl+alt+backspace. Generally the best way to fool around with resolutions is to click system -> preferences -> screen resolution | 20:04 |

| ASULutzy | neospd: sudo apt-get install compiz-config-settings-manager && ccsm | 20:10 |

| ASULutzy | neospd: Then once ccsm opens up, click general, and check "unredirect full screen windows" this will fix flickering, but only in full screen apps | 20:11 |

| neospd | but... what it do? Open GL not work after that? | 20:11 |
| ASULutzy | neospd: The alternative solution to make all openGL windows stop flickering, (not just full screen) is to type metacity --replace & | 20:11 |
| s3a | is there a way to monitor conversion process of uif2iso? | 20:12 |
| Luhta | s3a I'm not familiar with the app, but I would see if there's a -v flag or --verbose | 20:12 |
| ASULutzy | neospd: It makes it so compiz doesn't try to do fancy effects to full screen windows (that's what unredirect full screen windows does) the other option (metacity --replace &) switches compiz off and turns metacity on. You can switch compiz back on by doing compiz --replace & | 20:12 |
| s3a | Luhta: i type that extension to the main command in another terminal and it should tell me the progress without stopping the conversion process? | 20:13 |
| Luhta | ASULutzy, neospd that will fix it yes, but it will also cause an annoying flicker when you switch to and from full screen mode such as for example to rotate the cube | 20:13 |

| ASULutzy | neospd: No problem | 20:14 |
| Luxx16126 | ASULutzy is that screen resolution changing rly that hard? | 20:14 |

| ASULutzy | and give the output here | 20:15 |
| s3a | Luhta: ok but wether it works or not it shouldnt stop the process right? im asking cuz ive waited several hours and i would definetely not like to restart waiting ;) | 20:15 |
| Luhta | ASULutzy, well that's a matter of taste, personally I like a light colored theme, and it is not fun to play a game less than full screen with a light theme. And raising the gamma is a pet peeve of mine | 20:15 |
| Luhta | s3a oh you mean an existing process? probably not | 20:15 |

| daemon3 | It works now, guys. Thanks. | 20:38 |
| joaopinto | russianzilla, check the WUBI FAQ | 20:38 |

| ASULutzy | Tux2K8: I only know of one program that can open chm files, okular | 20:39 |
| joaopinto | russianzilla, we don't have much experience with wubi, must of us use native installs | 20:40 |
| ASULutzy | russianzilla: You should click the link the bot gave you. It's in the FAQ there, a whole howto. | 20:40 |

| takamarou | can anyone help me with some video card issues? I just installed the e-GeForce FX 5200, and I'm having a ton of trouble getting the drivers working. I'm stuck in low graphics mode right now. | 20:43 |
| MasterShrek | Luhta, i dont remember, but i think it needs to be set everytime, i believe the initial setting is in the kernel, just add the command to a startup script (let me find where it is in 8.04) | 20:43 |
| s0u][ight | hello i a Intel Corporation PRO/Wireless 4965 AG or AGN Network Connection how can i see all drivers available for this device? | 20:44 |
| Luhta | MasterShrek, I do appreciate it | 20:44 |
| joaopinto | takamarou, you may need the latest drivers, if that is the case you should use envy, but I am not familiar with your model | 20:44 |

| takamarou | joaopinto, what is envy? | 20:45 |
| ASULutzy | supertanker: Did you recently install a different operating system? | 20:45 |
| supertanker | ASULutzy I just put Xubuntu on | 20:45 |
| MasterShrek | Luhta, i think the file you want is /etc/rc.local | 20:45 |
| supertanker | I have 4 different OSs | 20:45 |
| joaopinto | takamarou, is an utility which allows to install the latest nvidia/ati driver from their site | 20:45 |
| MasterShrek | Luhta, those commands will be run as root right before your login prompt | 20:45 |
| ASULutzy | supertanker: http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=297261 might help you, something hosed your grub install, you just need to fix it | 20:45 |
| takamarou | joaopinto, I've got the latest drivers from their site.. I've been working with them for about half an hour now.. | 20:46 |
| Luhta | I believe grub 15 is the error that happens when grub sees the partitions in a different order than they are detected, or is that 17? I can't remember | 20:46 |
| Luhta | MasterShrek, alright thank you | 20:46 |
| unop | MasterShrek, the GDM (or KDM) starts much before /etc/rc.local is invoked -- infact rc.local is the last script to be invoked by init | 20:46 |

| geek_inn2 | iam using pidgin | 20:58 |

| Jack_Sparrow | Mekzholan If you want the latest release, then you need to compile it yourself or see if a deb for Ubuntu is available. It will not show up in the repos.. Only critical bug fixes are applied to the current released versions | 21:08 |

| unop | daemon3, the problem you are facing is incorrect permissions on this directory -- infact, your permissions are too restricive - absolutely no one has any access into /home/user/public_html/ including www-data (apache's user) | 21:10 |
| daemon3 | unop: Well, my user's home permissions are only he can execute, read, and write. | 21:10 |
| Josdell | Hi everyone, I need some help installing cdrtools-2.01.01 | 21:10 |
| Flannel | ^Ocean^: Because thats what the new kernels do. It simplifies some things | 21:10 |
| joaopinto | Josdell, erm, every day building something new :P ? | 21:10 |
| unop | daemon3, but this folder /home/user/public_html/ is not your home directory | 21:10 |
| daemon3 | unop: I just thought that instead of changing my user (it's my personal account), I can create a new one. | 21:10 |
| Josdell | joaopinto: yes :) but everyday getting close and closer | 21:10 |
| agibby5 | @joapinto: whats the syntax then? | 21:10 |
| joaopinto | agibby5, find /base -name "*name*" -exec rm {} \; | 21:11 |
| unop | daemon3, err, last time .. change the permissions on /home/user/public_html/ to the right permissions | 21:11 |
| joaopinto | agibby5, use it with caution | 21:11 |

| Josdell | anyone here familiar with cdrtools? | 21:14 |
| masteredu | Hellooooo | 21:14 |
| GNU\colossus | Josdell: what's your real question? ;) | 21:15 |
| joaopinto | Josdell, being familiar with something, and building it from source is a different thing | 21:15 |
| joaopinto | Josdell, please be more specific, what is your problem ? | 21:15 |
| masteredu | ok i have a question | 21:15 |
| M1DLG | hello all, I want to install ubuntu on my PC but I get error and then it opens busybox with no desktop (when using bootable disk | 21:15 |
| ^Ocean^ | Josdell, Cdrtools, is genearaly a back end for front end GUI applications too use | 21:15 |
| unop | daemon3, anything? | 21:15 |
| Kidfork | Im playing an online game called Runescape which runs Java, my computer meets the reccomended requrments but im lagging, is there a way to allocate my ram to java or firefox? | 21:15 |
| daemon3 | unop: Yup...if I log in as that user. The permissions are read and execute all. Only "others" can't write to the file. | 21:16 |
| daemon3 | ...directory, rather. | 21:16 |
| joaopinto | Kidfork, there are some java options to provide memory, but better ask on #ubuntu-java or #java | 21:16 |
| Josdell | To everyone lol, I'm trying to install it from the tar.gz i downloaded from its website, I extracted it, I did sudo make, sudo make install, but I don't think it installed | 21:16 |
| joaopinto | I mean, to provide memory for the jvm | 21:16 |
| masteredu | dont spam pls | 21:16 |
| Decepticon | im trying to get pptpd to work so that i can connect to it via windows xp. ive followed instructions http://pigtail.net/nicholas/pptp/ but winxp vpn dial in gives error 619... what could be wrong in my config? | 21:16 |
| joaopinto | Josdell, did you read the INSTALL/README in the first place ? | 21:16 |
| ^Ocean^ | Josdell, Did you run ./configure first ? | 21:16 |
| Josdell | joaopinto: yes | 21:16 |
| joaopinto | Josdell, btw, cdrtools are available on the repositories, why are you trying to build it ? | 21:17 |
| unop | daemon3, as that user (whatever that user is) .. what does this command return? ls -ld ~/public_html/ | 21:17 |
| masteredu | i have a problem with the nvidia driver! | 21:17 |
| takamarou | me too! | 21:17 |
| Josdell | ^Ocean^ didnt have to, the Install file said so | 21:17 |
| masteredu | when i installed it i only can select 320x and 640x !!! | 21:17 |
| Josdell | joaopinto: are you sure? I looked, maybe I made a mistake, one sec | 21:17 |
| daemon3 | unop: Same as before. | 21:17 |
| ^Ocean^ | Josdell, did you run the make install as root ? | 21:17 |
| masteredu | can anyone help em | 21:17 |
| Josdell | ^Ocean^ I did it as sudo command | 21:18 |
| daemon3 | unop: My hypothesis is that my home directory has permissions rwx------. It's like shining a flashlight behind a brick wall. | 21:18 |
| unop | daemon3, so there is a bid discrepancy here -- you are telling me that the user has the permissions to read the directory but you are getting a "permission denied" which says the user has no permissions over the directory | 21:18 |
| joaopinto | Josdell, hint: dvd+rw-tools | 21:18 |
| masteredu | can nobody help me :( | 21:18 |
| masteredu | *cry* | 21:18 |
| ^Ocean^ | josdell: Did you see any error while doing the make command ? | 21:18 |
| joaopinto | !patience | masteredu | 21:18 |
| ubottu | masteredu: The people here are volunteers, your attitude should reflect that. Answers are not always available. See http://wiki.ubuntu.com/IrcGuidelines | 21:18 |
| Josdell | joaopinto: what the flip, why would it be named something different, gosh! | 21:18 |
| daemon3 | unop: Sorry, no. Those "permission denied" warnings was from another user. | 21:19 |
| daemon3 | I'm trying to be as helpful as possible. I'm terribly sorry. | 21:19 |
| masteredu | :( | 21:19 |
| unop | daemon3, can you paste the output of that ls command? | 21:19 |
| Josdell | ^Ocean^ only something about it being an issue about GNU Make sucking literally it said that lol | 21:19 |
| masteredu | all spam | 21:19 |
| GNU\colossus | Josdell: the cdrtools dev is a loony | 21:19 |
| M1DLG | hello all, I want to install ubuntu on my PC but I get error and then it opens busybox with no desktop (when using bootable disk) [ 52.176000] pci | 21:19 |

| daemon3 | unop: drwxrwxr-x 2 user user 4096 2008-06-24 12:00 /home/user/public_html | 21:20 |
| takamarou | M1DLG, did you recently install a new hard drive, by chance? | 21:20 |
| Josdell | GNU\colossus: I'm trying to get mkisofs on my System but Hardy screwed it all up | 21:20 |
| Slart | M1DLG: "error"? could you be a bit more specific? | 21:20 |
| M1DLG | takamarou itś a newish drive, has windows partly on it want to wipe it | 21:20 |
| unop | daemon3, ok that's fine -- now what about the contents of this directory - do they have the same permissions? | 21:20 |
| Josdell | joaopinto: dvd+rw-tools is already installed | 21:20 |
| GNU\colossus | Josdell: you need to get cdrkit for that, I believe. or rather, get cdrskin and xorriso instead. | 21:21 |
| joaopinto | Josdell, what are you looking for ? | 21:21 |
| joaopinto | which command ? | 21:21 |
| joaopinto | uff | 21:21 |
| M1DLG | takamarou itś a full new install i need to do | 21:21 |
| ^Ocean^ | I can no longer mount my Windows Harddrive. if I run qtparted, I see the drive as /dev/sda and the partition I want too mount /dev/sda1, Yet when I goto mount the drive, /dev/sda1 does not exsist | 21:21 |
| Josdell | joaopinto: on synaptic, I searched and it said it was already installed | 21:21 |
| GNU\colossus | genisoimage - Creates ISO-9660 CD-ROM filesystem images | 21:21 |
| GNU\colossus | also sounds ok | 21:21 |
| daemon3 | unop: Yup | 21:21 |
| takamarou | M1DLG, you had the hard drives working before though? On windows or something? | 21:21 |
| joaopinto | Josdell, sure it is, most cd recording tools require it | 21:21 |
| unop | daemon3, and apache is still giving you a 403/404 ? | 21:22 |
| Josdell | joaopinto: but i dont have mkisofs, which remastersys needs | 21:22 |
| M1DLG | takamarou yes, there ´was´ windows on it, I want to format it | 21:22 |
| joaopinto | Josdell, because that one is provided by the genisoimage package | 21:22 |
| daemon3 | You don't have permission to access / on this server. | 21:22 |
| takamarou | M1DLG, alright. I dunno then. I had the same problem when I installed a new hard drive and didn't have them set as Slave and Master correctly. If you had it working with windows though, that's probably not the problem. | 21:22 |
| Josdell | GNU\colossus: I tried installing cdrkit, maybe i did it wrong, but right now I'm trying to install cdrtools-2.01.01 | 21:22 |
| joaopinto | if you type "mkisofs" on the terminal it does show you what package is required ! | 21:22 |
| m-c | M1DLG: At what point are you at? Have you performed the install from the LiveCD? | 21:22 |
| ^Ocean^ | Josdell, why not just install it from the package ? | 21:23 |
| swirl | I'm trying to transfer my Eclipse (programming IDE) configuration from its windows version to the linux version because the windows version doesn't run smoothly in Wine. Does anyone know if the linux release of Eclipse is actually a windows executable run in a virtual machine while in linux? | 21:23 |
| Josdell | joaopinto: but when I type mkisofs, it says it is not installed it can be installed by installing genisoimae | 21:23 |
| GNU\colossus | Josdell: why don't you install those things from the ubuntu repos? | 21:23 |
| M1DLG | takamarou ITś a SATA drive from another machine, but I want to install ubuntu on it instead | 21:23 |
| joaopinto | Josdell, so you just need to install genisoimage | 21:23 |
| joaopinto | which is available from the repositories | 21:23 |
| GNU\colossus | Josdell: sudo apt-get install genisoimage | 21:23 |
| Josdell | joaopinto: I already have genisoimage installed x_x I'm so confused | 21:23 |
| === linux_ is now known as Guest31973 | ||
| M1DLG | takamarou how did you fix it? | 21:23 |
| m-c | M1DLG: Does the LiveCD boot correctly into the desktop environment, prior to the install? | 21:24 |
| joaopinto | Josdell, open a terminal and type "mkisofs" | 21:24 |
| M1DLG | M-C no | 21:24 |
| unop | daemon3, hmm, try this, see if it helps - you might want to backup this directory first also. sudo chown -Rv www-data:www-data /home/user/public_html | 21:24 |
| jacodt | swirl: the linux release of eclipse runs in java as far as i know. and it runs fairly smoothly. | 21:24 |
| Josdell | joaopinto:The program 'mkisofs' is currently not installed. You can install it by typing: | 21:24 |
| Josdell | sudo apt-get install genisoimage | 21:24 |
| Josdell | bash: mkisofs: command not found | 21:24 |
| takamarou | M1DLG, I had to change the pins on my hard drive.. I had my second hard drive set as Master.. but it sounds like that isn't your problem. | 21:24 |
| M1DLG | M-C i get to the meno only | 21:24 |
| joaopinto | Josdell, now: sudo apt-get install genisoimage | 21:24 |
| M1DLG | takamarou thanks ok | 21:24 |
| m-c | M1DLG: If it does not even boot to the Live CD, then your hard drive is not to blame here. | 21:24 |
| Josdell | joaopinto: says genisoimage is already installed | 21:25 |
| ASULutzy | swirl: I have eclipse installed in both Windows and Linux, and the files are almost exactly the same in both (only difference is windows is eclipse.exe instead of eclipse) linux version still uses eclipse.ini, the .jar files are all the same I would think (or similar) | 21:25 |
| Josdell | joaopinto: says it is the newest version | 21:25 |
| m-c | swirl Does the Eclipse application not offer support ? | 21:25 |
| === feanor is now known as feanor88 | ||
| M1DLG | I suspected this, the error has PCI in the description but there is not anything on the physcical PCI ports | 21:25 |
| daemon3 | unop: Still a 403 forbidden.' | 21:25 |
| joaopinto | Josdell, sudo apt-get remove genisoimage; sudo apt-get install genisoimage | 21:25 |
| Josdell | joaopinto: will do | 21:26 |
| swirl | jacodt, ASULutzy ok, thanks. i'll try again. | 21:26 |
| m-c | M1DLG: What exactly is the error? | 21:26 |
| feanor88 | hello, I have a problem activating my intergraded microphone. I have an HP-nw9440, and I'm using ALSA. When I press to use the sound recorder the recorder opens normally but then when I try to record nothing is happens. I tried to use alsamixer to activate my microphone but in vain. It appers pretty weird. Here is what it appers in my alsamixer output >> http://tinypic.com/view.php?pic=2zhed15&s=3 does anyone has any idea how to bypass this problem? | 21:26 |
| M1DLG | M-C wait one sec iĺl boot it again - itś very quick | 21:26 |
| unop | daemon3, all i can really conclude is that you haven't setup the DocumentRoot for this site properly -- make sure it does point to /home/user/public_html/ and restart the apache server | 21:26 |
| sfire | I just hit "windows key" + R and now my screen is all magnified... how do I undo this? | 21:27 |
| some_person | Is anyone else not getting any sound? I checked the ALSA mixer and other sound related options and the speakers still lack sound. I know they work, but I don't know what the problem is | 21:27 |
| unop | daemon3, if you are still having problems -- use the pastebin and show the output of this site's config file | 21:27 |
| m-c | feanor88: Did you try pressing Space or M to select or un-mute it? | 21:27 |
| hugh | howdy - can anyone tell me how to find out the version of software I've already got installed? | 21:28 |
| feanor88 | m-c : yes | 21:28 |
| Flannel | snova: Try super-R again | 21:28 |
| unop | Josdell, didn't i already tell you about mkisofs -- it has been obsoleted in favour of genisoimage -- if you are following a tutorial that uses mkisofs, it is outdated, try looking for a more recent and up-to-date one | 21:28 |
| sfire | Flannel: if that was directed at me I already tried that :( | 21:28 |
| m-c | feanor88: ALSA issues are tricky. Check the Ubuntu Forums or ask in #alsa as a last resort | 21:28 |
| Josdell | unop: but genisoimage is not working for me at the moment | 21:28 |
| M1DLG | M-C [42.960902] pci: cannot allocate resorce on device - the number at the begining is defferent every time | 21:29 |
| unop | Josdell, why not? do you get any error messages? | 21:29 |
| joaopinto | unop, still the command itself should be available, provided by the genisoimage package | 21:29 |
| m-c | hugh - You should be able to see it in the Synaptic Manager | 21:29 |
| jacodt | hugh: depends on the software, but you can open synaptic and search for the software - most ubuntu packages shows the version number | 21:29 |
| Josdell | unop: no, but it will not work with genisoimage | 21:29 |
| Josdell | unop: i mean | 21:29 |
| hugh | m-c: thx - is there a command line way aswell? | 21:29 |
| M1DLG | M-C then it goes in to busy box v1.1.3 | 21:29 |
| Josdell | Unop: remastersys | 21:29 |
| m-c | M1DLG: it is just a time stamp -- have you googled this error "cannot allocate resource on device" yet? | 21:29 |
| M1DLG | not yet | 21:30 |
| Kidfork | How do i enable the high-quality version of Ubuntu | 21:30 |
| M1DLG | was thinking that was next step | 21:30 |
| ^Ocean^ | Josdell, why not just install it from the package ? | 21:30 |
| ^Ocean^ | I can no longer mount my Windows Harddrive. if I run qtparted, I see the drive as /dev/sda and the partition I want too mount /dev/sda1, Yet when I goto mount the drive, /dev/sda1 does not exsist | 21:30 |
| unop | Josdell, in anycase -- trying to use mkisofs is really barking up the wrong tree - it no longer exists in ubuntu's repos | 21:30 |
| Josdell | ^Ocean^ install what? | 21:30 |
| agibby5 | joaopinto: that worked well, thanks a bunch | 21:30 |
| ^Ocean^ | what ever your trying too compile haha | 21:30 |

| m-c | Kidfork: no - sorry :( | 21:34 |
| joaopinto | unop, /usr/bin/mkisofs -> genisoimage | 21:34 |
| Josdell | Fer: trata de hablar en ingles | 21:34 |
| Flannel | Josdell: who are you talking to? | 21:34 |
| joaopinto | the point is, it is available, regardless if relies on the genisoimage binary | 21:34 |
| Kidfork | Anybody have any idea on how i would go about giving more RAM to java.? | 21:34 |
| Josdell | Flannel: I'm telling a Hispanis that he has to speak english on here | 21:34 |
| unop | joaopinto, right there you go -- mkisofs is actually a symlink to genisoimage -- which means, he really ought to be using genisoimage in the first place, no? :) | 21:34 |
| hawthoerne | halp!!! | 21:34 |
| ^Ocean^ | Kidfork, they might have a better clue in #Java | 21:34 |
| unop | joaopinto, i see where you are comign from -- do you see where i am coming from with this? | 21:35 |
| Intrepid | Kidfork: I'm assuming any program should be able to request any amount of memory until resources are exhausted? | 21:35 |
| jacodt | Kidfork: you getting some heap errors? | 21:35 |
| joaopinto | unop, I am not sure on that, the binary can provide a syntax based on the calling name, I am not sure wether the link and the real binary provide the same interface | 21:35 |
| hawthoerne | how do i get the jack server up to run sound on rosegarden | 21:35 |
| Flannel | Josdell: Fer is no longer speaking spanish, and also, isn't even in the channel anymore. | 21:35 |
| Kidfork | ^Ocean^: For some reason /join #java does nothing | 21:35 |
| Josdell | Flannel: k, didnt realize | 21:35 |
| ^Ocean^ | Kidfork, you need too identify your nick | 21:36 |
| Josdell | unop joapinto: so is there a possible solution | 21:36 |
| Kidfork | Intrepid: Not sure, what im trying to do, there reccomended requirments my computer exceeds | 21:36 |
| Kidfork | jacodt: No it jsut laggs | 21:36 |
| Anza | Thunderbird is not working well... it started loading old mail from my yahoo account as it was new, then after started not loading my emails from hotmail account, and now also just shuts down suddenly by itself, can anyone help me please? | 21:36 |
| minmaxed | I'm trying to play a dvd in mplayer, and the graphics quality is -painfully bad- | 21:36 |
| Kidfork | ^ocean^: How would i go about doing that | 21:36 |
| ^Ocean^ | Kidfork, you might be able too place with the nice command and give java more CPU | 21:36 |
| Intrepid | Kidfork: Can you shed light on the exact error messages you are receiving? | 21:36 |
| joaopinto | Josdell, sudo ln -s /usr/bin/genisoimage /usr/bin/mkisofs | 21:36 |
| hawthoerne | hello? | 21:36 |
| hawthoerne | -.- | 21:36 |
| hawthoerne | it's too busy in here | 21:37 |
| minmaxed | as in half the output filled with multicolored bars flickering off and on | 21:37 |
| Josdell | joaopinto: will that create a symbolic link? | 21:37 |
| hawthoerne | how do i get the jack server up to run sound on rosegarden | 21:37 |
| ^Ocean^ | I can no longer mount my Windows Harddrive. if I run qtparted, I see the drive as /dev/sda and the partition I want too mount /dev/sda1, Yet when I goto mount the drive, /dev/sda1 does not exsist | 21:37 |
| Kidfork | intrepid: No error just lagg and firefox sometimes crashs | 21:37 |
| joaopinto | Josdell, yes, on my case it was created by the regular ubuntu package | 21:37 |
| m-c | minmaxed: Have you tried it in a different application? | 21:37 |
| pwuertz | I'm trying to connect to ICQ, but pidgin says the version I'm using is outdated. looks like the version shipped with ubuntu is too old... when is it going to be upgraded? | 21:37 |
| Kidfork | ^Ocean^: Which command would that be | 21:37 |
| ^Ocean^ | Kidfork, nice | 21:38 |
| minmaxed | m-c: yes, nothing else works at all | 21:38 |
| Josdell | joaopinto: will that make it so that when I ask for mkisofs, i Get genisoimage, because i tried that and remastersys still didnt work I believe | 21:38 |
| ubunubi | Anyone happen know what log to look in to see why my Firefox is attempting to launch but not succeeding? | 21:38 |
| estevam | alouuu | 21:38 |
| Kidfork | ^Ocean^: ? | 21:38 |
| minmaxed | m-c: one track's causes an encryption error in VLC | 21:38 |
| unop | Josdell, i would say this - it might be better to look for a more up-to-date tutorial that actually works with genisoimage | 21:38 |
| ^Ocean^ | Kidfork, man nice | 21:38 |
| joaopinto | Josdell, ies, it will run genisoimage | 21:38 |
| DJones | !icqbug | pwuertz | 21:38 |
| ubottu | pwuertz: A fix for ICQ within Pidgin is currently underway. Within a few days we should see it moved into the -updates repository. | 21:38 |
| joaopinto | Josdell, why are you using remastersys at all ? | 21:39 |
| m-c | minmaxed: Yeah, that encryption stuff is hard to troubleshoot. | 21:39 |
| jacodt | Kidfork: you can try running the jre with -mx X and -ms X options specifying the memory allocation pools (X corresponds to the amount of memory in bytes). | 21:39 |
| minmaxed | m-c: crashes in kaffeine, ad infinitum | 21:39 |
| Josdell | joaopinto: To make a Live CD of my system | 21:39 |
| minmaxed | m-c: any way to run mplayer in some kind of buffered mode? | 21:39 |
| hawthoerne | whatever then | 21:39 |
| Josdell | unop: WIll search if this fails | 21:39 |
| jacodt | Kidfork: But that is usually only necessary if you run out of heap space. | 21:39 |
| joaopinto | Josdell, have you tried with uck ? | 21:39 |
| m-c | minmaxed: I use Totem, sorry. | 21:39 |
| ^Ocean^ | minmaxed, Yes there is, read the manual | 21:39 |
| minmaxed | m-c: I even tried dd_rescue'ing the drive | 21:39 |
| pwuertz | DJones: thanks :) | 21:39 |
| Josdell | joaopinto: uck? I will search it and see if it fits my requirements | 21:40 |
| minmaxed | and reading from that | 21:40 |
| joaopinto | !uck | Josdell | 21:40 |
| ubottu | Josdell: UCK is a tool that helps you customise official Ubuntu Live CDs (including Kubuntu/Xubuntu and Edubuntu) to your needs. See http://uck.sourceforge.net/ | 21:40 |
| plouffe | I can't record any sound in sound recorder. Any help with that issue? | 21:40 |
| mrgenixus | HELLO: is there a ubuntu multiboot installer disk that will install server, desktop amd i386 kubuntu xubuntu or any combination therof? | 21:40 |
| unop | Josdell, the reason why i say this is -- the tutorial you are following might be using commands suited for mkisofs and might not be compatible with genisoimage | 21:40 |
| unop | mrgenixus, the ubuntu DVD image | 21:41 |
| Kidfork | jacodt: This is what i get tyler@tyler-desktop:~$ java -ms X512MInvalid initial heap size: -XmsCould not create the Java virtual machine.tyler@tyler-desktop:~$ | 21:41 |
| ypctx | hey | 21:41 |
| Josdell | unop: I installed a version of remastersys that did not ask for mkisofs on install, why wouldnt it still work? | 21:41 |
| jacodt | Kidfork: how do you run the program normally? | 21:41 |
| Josdell | joaopinto: Will uck just let me copy my system? | 21:41 |
| unop | Josdell, because remastersys probably works independant of mkisofs | 21:41 |
| unop | Josdell, or genisoimage | 21:42 |
| joaopinto | Josdell, no, neither will remastersys, if it does, then it will not work with ubuntu | 21:42 |
| plouffe | I only have alsa base package installed. Could that be why I can't record anything? | 21:42 |
| Impy | Is there a help channel for cheese? | 21:42 |
| joaopinto | Josdell, does that remastersys things lists Ubuntu hardy as a supported distro ? | 21:42 |
| Anza | Thunderbird is not working well... it started loading old mail from my yahoo account as it was new, then after started not loading my emails from hotmail account, and now also just shuts down suddenly by itself, can anyone help me please? | 21:42 |
| m-c | unop the DVD has the server version installation too? | 21:42 |
| ypctx | can anyone suggest a good, ubuntu supported notebook brand | 21:42 |
| Josdell | joaopinto: I'm not sure | 21:42 |
| m-c | ypctx: System76.com | 21:43 |
| jacodt | ypctx: I use dell mostly | 21:43 |
| Josdell | unop: then I will look for a solution to get it to work, looks like I'm going to be extremely busy | 21:43 |
| plouffe | ANza, I had this problem this morning. I had to remove the hotmail account . Hotmail disabled their webprotocol today | 21:43 |
| unop | m-c, not sure whether it has the server installation script -- but it has the standard LAMP packages availble for install | 21:43 |
| joaopinto | Josdell, grrr. then you should be sure before wasting all the time you did until now, CD/DVD remastering is not a general procedure that you can apply to any distro | 21:43 |
| unop | Josdell, it might be worthwhile looking into UCK like joaopinto says | 21:43 |
| ypctx | m-c: nice website, thx | 21:43 |
| Josdell | joaopinto: Im pretty sure it worked until Debian into some big arguement with cdrtools | 21:44 |
| Josdell | unop: will look into uck as a solution | 21:44 |
| Anza | plouffe, so, now thunderbird won't work with hotmail accounts? | 21:44 |
| ypctx | jacodt: does it have builtin cam supported? ie. skype | 21:44 |
| hawthoerne | HELLO???: how do i get the jack server up to run sound on rosegarden | 21:44 |
| Sexygurl | How can I upgrade my firefox to FireFox 3? | 21:44 |
| plouffe | I'm not interested iin trying it out, hotmail froze me up every 2 minutes | 21:44 |
| joaopinto | Josdell, not you are not sure, because all the mastering piece depends on the installer itself, the cdrtools is just a detail, you could manually fix that part, that is not the BIG problem | 21:44 |
| emms | can some one help me iam searching the german ubuntu channel | 21:44 |

| Judg3_Dr34D | Hi, all... Could someone explain to me why for, I think, the 3rd time in 2 weeks do I have to install the same versions of updates? | 22:13 |
| Lynet | solexious: I suppose you could clear the dns cache on your pc and then set the dns server of the domain in question to the primary dns server. | 22:13 |
| aim | what's up with 8.04.1? | 22:13 |
| solexious | lynet: what command clears the cache? | 22:13 |
| m-c | LordTaeleon: Just ask your question on 8.04 | 22:14 |
| LordTaeleon | m-c - the laptop isn't recognising the cd as a boot disc | 22:14 |
| Lynet | solexious: But other than that, your PC is most likely to ask your ISP's DNS server. And the time that the ISP's DNS server will cache the information on the domain again depends on the ttl. | 22:14 |
| m-c | LordTaeleon: Most likely your boot settings in BIOS | 22:15 |
| ASULutzy | LordTaeleon: how did you burn it | 22:15 |
| ubunubi | Odd-rationale: Can't create config directory (/home/ubunubi/.w3m)!w3m version w3m/0.5.1+cvs-1.968 | 22:15 |
| Lynet | solexious: Dang, don't remember right now. Also, some apps (like firefox) will maintain their own cache. | 22:15 |
| Milos_SD | I got Xinerama to form nice, but I have a problem with some gnome panel applets, such is notification area. I can't get it to work on other monitor with new panel that I created... How can I fix it? :) | 22:15 |
| Odd-rationale | ubunubi: hmm... | 22:15 |
| solexious | lynet: thank you | 22:15 |
| m-c | Judg3_Dr34D: No idea - is it causing a problem ? | 22:15 |
| Lynet | solexious: ipconfig /flushdns, according to google. | 22:15 |
| ASULutzy | LordTaeleon: You burned it as a disc image right, (you didn't just copy the .iso to the cd as a data file) and did you check to make sure that the cd downloaded correctly and that it burned correctly | 22:16 |
| LordTaeleon | OK | 22:16 |
| LordTaeleon | I have two discs here | 22:16 |

| henri | Lucifer: Use KVM | 22:20 |
| Lynet | solexious: Seems I'm a fountain of bad advise today. nscd is afaik not installed on ubuntu by default. If you use your broadband modem as dns, you might restart it to flush its cache. Other than that, I guess google will find the answers fastest. | 22:20 |

| ph8 | Frogging101: Switch? i.e. remove windows and install linux or 'create a dual boot system with both windows and ubuntu?' | 22:21 |
| Frogging101 | create dual boot system | 22:21 |
| ASULutzy | Frogging101: It depends how you set it up, if you setup a dual boot you can keep Windows XP just fine while also having the option to boot into Ubuntu | 22:21 |

| ph8 | kvm > qemu | 22:21 |

| ph8 | Frogging101: No, you 'partition' your drives - linux has one section of the drive and windows has the other - if you have a windows install on your machine it can remain virtually untouched | 22:22 |
| m-c | LordTaeleon: You might consider using Wubi instead | 22:22 |
| Lucifer | Only thing I need | 22:22 |

| m-c | Frogging101: Ubuntu will walk you through a dual boot installation, where it shrinks the size of your Microsoft operating system partition. | 22:25 |
| ASULutzy | Lucifer: Well, I don't know that that's true. and even if it were, why put 20 hours of work into playing a game if it works natively in Windows with no problem? | 22:25 |

| Slart | ubunubi: it will give you free space on all your drives.. not just root | 22:26 |
| ASULutzy | nickolaus: If you setup ssh on each machine you can use the GUI. You can click places -> connect to server -> and choose ssh from the drop down | 22:26 |
| ubunubi | slart : that's fine. thanks | 22:26 |
| nickolaus | ubottu they are not windows. This is a ubuntu and kubuntu samba is not tool for this. | 22:26 |
| ubottu | nickolaus: Error: I am only a bot, please don't think I'm intelligent :) | 22:26 |
| m-c | Frogging101: I recommend buying a computer with Ubuntu pre-installed and supported by the hardware vendors. But many people use the LiveCD to do a dual boot. | 22:26 |
| asdqwe123123 | errr | 22:27 |
| Frogging101 | what??? | 22:27 |
| ASULutzy | Lucifer: Just checking the wine app db shows how many things actually don't work with Wine, so to say that you can do absolutely everything with Wine is a little bit exaggerated | 22:27 |
| Lucifer | I recommend nvidia | 22:27 |
| Lucifer | I don't use wine | 22:27 |
| Slart | nickolaus: if you have to share files between linux and windows, or even linux and linux, samba will work | 22:27 |

| Slart | nickolaus: it's not perfect.. but it's the only thing that will talk to the windows computer, afaik | 22:28 |

| bibi__ | cdecrlo: no | 22:29 |
| davidd | Frogging101: don't know if they have said this already, but you can just download the ubuntu 8.04 image and install that version from within windows. it takes most (not all) of the hassle out of trying it and if anything goes wrong, just reboot into windows and uninstall it like any other program | 22:29 |
| Frogging101 | ok... I already have a live CD and I don't think they will buy computer very soon so im just wondering how to get a dual boot to work | 22:29 |

| Frogging101 | FAQ* | 22:41 |
| webcamwonder | Frogging101: But Wubi automatically selects 32bit or 64 bit for you... | 22:41 |
| soundray | sobersabre: normally, usplash centers the boot image. Perhaps it's because you have a widescreen display format | 22:42 |
| ASULutzy | Frogging101: It installs to a file inside of your Windows install instead of its own partition. That's bad enough ;) | 22:42 |
| Arianna | in XP Pro.. I've burnt the iso image of Ubuntu 8.4 as is to a disc using ImgBurn - but the pc I'm loading it onto isn't booting up from it | 22:42 |
| webcamwonder | Frogging101: 64 bit processors can run 64 and 32, but 32 can't run 64 | 22:42 |
| Frogging101 | Yeah it says in the FAQ it will install 64 bit but theres a command to override it | 22:42 |
| nicolah | amenado: /etc | 22:42 |
| ASULutzy | Frogging101: http://wubi-installer.org/ if you go there it will correctly install the right one for you. | 22:42 |
| webcamwonder | Frogging101: Wubi is GUI based... You can see the options is a beautifully formatted combobox | 22:42 |
| ASULutzy | Frogging101: It doesn't say it will install a 64 bit, it says if you have a 64 bit CPU it will install 64 bit | 22:42 |
| Akazawa | what is "strict subs" when I use rename it tells me Bareword "drupal" not allowed while "strict subs" in use at (eval 1) line 1. and how do I disable it | 22:43 |
| ASULutzy | Frogging101: If you do not have a 64 bit CPU, it will not install 64 bit | 22:43 |
| soundray | Arianna: it's no use copying the .iso image to a CD. You have to create a CD from the image contained in the file. Read the factoid: | 22:43 |
| soundray | !burniso > Arianna | 22:43 |
| ubottu | Arianna, please see my private message | 22:43 |
| Decepticon | help, ps aux is not showing me all the users every process on earth | 22:43 |
| Frogging101 | i thought it meant because most people have that it wil | 22:43 |
| Frogging101 | install 64 bit | 22:43 |
| Starnestommy | Decepticon: try sudo ps aux | 22:43 |
| blueray | newb question: how do i run netfilter in kubuntu? | 22:43 |
| webcamwonder | Frogging101: It will install what is right for YOUR pc! | 22:43 |
| Frogging101 | okay good | 22:44 |
| === Mink_ is now known as Mink | ||
| ASULutzy | Frogging101: I'm certainly not a big wubi fan, I know Jack_Sparrow isn't either... I would suggest using a live-cd to see if Ubuntu feels right for you and it it does, to set up a proper dual-boot | 22:44 |
| Starnestommy | Akazawa: try usaing mv instead of rename | 22:44 |
| Starnestommy | *using | 22:44 |
| ASULutzy | Frogging101: But others think wubi is decent, and if you want to go that way feel free | 22:45 |
| Frogging101 | I did i got a live CD | 22:45 |
| Frogging101 | it took half the time it was supposed to take to arrive :D | 22:45 |
| Decepticon | why i gotta use sudo | 22:45 |
| Arianna | soundary : I don't get it, I've downloaded an *.iso file, and burnt it as an image - do I need to extract info from the downloaded file? | 22:45 |
| ASULutzy | Frogging101: If you have already tried out Ubuntu on a live-cd and liked it and decided you want a dual-boot, I would personally setup a proper dualboot, and not use wubi | 22:45 |
| Decepticon | in debian i can do ps aux and i will see everyone's things... why do i have to use sudo ps aux to do the same in ubuntu | 22:45 |
| Frogging101 | Of course it was a bit slow when it had to load from CD, but running a whole OS from a CD isn't very fast so I accounted for that | 22:46 |
| Starnestommy | Decepticon: are sure that ps aux isn't listing the same things when you're not using sudo? | 22:46 |
| === LordMetroid is now known as Guest41541 | ||
| Decepticon | ps aux is listing different things when using sudo and when not using sudo | 22:46 |
| soundray | Arianna: if you're sure that you've burnt it as an image, and the PC still doesn't boot from it, you may have to change the boot priority in the BIOS setup. | 22:46 |
| evil_tech | do samba share settings override normal folder permissions? | 22:47 |
| === lordmetroid_ is now known as LordMetroid | ||
| Arianna | soundray : the boot sequence in bios is fine :S | 22:47 |
| ASULutzy | Decepticon: Huh? ps aux should list the same stuff as a normal user as it does as root, shouldn't it? | 22:48 |
| Decepticon | ASULutzy shouldnt it? but its NOT | 22:48 |
| Decepticon | whys that?! | 22:48 |
| soundray | Arianna: so what happens when you try to boot? | 22:48 |
| Jane_ux | hi | 22:49 |
| Arianna | nothing, the existing OS loads up - kubuntu 6.10 | 22:49 |
| ASULutzy | That doesn't make sense Decepticon ;) | 22:49 |
| ASULutzy | Decepticon: can you paste the output of each to a pastebin? | 22:49 |
| Decepticon | yes | 22:49 |
| soundray | Arianna: so it's not even trying to access the CD as a boot device? | 22:49 |
| Jane_ux | i have a network with several users, how can i log the websites they visit? | 22:49 |
| ASULutzy | Decepticon: I'd be curious to see | 22:49 |
| Arianna | soundray : it is attempting to read from the cd, but not booting from it, it goes to the the next item in the boot sequence, the hard drive | 22:50 |
| Pelo | what's the command to restart iptables ? | 22:50 |
| Xavura | I find it hilarious that since I switched to Ubuntu, I get 4 times as many Windows viruses/trojans sent to me via MSN | 22:50 |
| Decepticon | ASULutzy this is ps aux, straight up: http://paste.ubuntu.com/24556/ | 22:50 |
| yit4s | i need to know whether my ubuntu is ready to connect to a VGA-out projector. FAST! | 22:50 |
| nicolah | amenado: still there ? | 22:51 |
| Pelo | yit4s, do a forum search for the model or just ofr projector | 22:51 |
| mmanning | yit4s: just reboot with it plugged in | 22:51 |
| yit4s | the port just should work right? | 22:51 |
| Decepticon | ASULutzy and this is sudo ps aux http://paste.ubuntu.com/24557/ | 22:51 |
| mmanning | yit4s: yes | 22:52 |
| Xavura | yit4s: that's how it generally goes with Linux | 22:52 |
| Pelo | how do I restart a service %? | 22:52 |
| Xavura | It just works | 22:52 |
| Xavura | That should be the slogan. | 22:52 |
| Starnestommy | Pelo: sudo invoke-rc.d service-name restart | 22:52 |
| soundray | Pelo: 'sudo invoke-rc.d servicename restart' | 22:52 |
| soundray | Starnestommy: mine's better | 22:52 |
| soundray | ;) | 22:52 |
| Xavura | No it isn't it doesn't have a "-" | 22:52 |
| yoyoned | Pelo: sudo /etc/init.d/sshd restart. Substitue as required | 22:52 |
| Xavura | You lose! | 22:53 |
| Decepticon | ideas ASULutzy?? | 22:53 |
| yit4s | does my screen res on ubuntu change when connected to a projector? like windows does? | 22:53 |
| bobbyd | hi | 22:53 |
| ASULutzy | Decepticon: Weird... Well I'm leaving work, maybe someone else here can be more helpful. What I can say is that on all my ubuntu installs that's not the behavior. ps aux is the same as sudo ps aux | 22:53 |
| Arianna | soundray - does the boot disc need to have both the *.iso file and wubi.exe file? | 22:53 |
| ASULutzy | Decepticon: The only thing I can think of, is that your environments are different maybe? | 22:53 |
| Xavura | yit4s: Probably not but that's a random guess hence not useful to you, try it and find out? | 22:53 |
| ASULutzy | Decepticon: Maybe you're calling a different ps than root calls? | 22:53 |
| bobbyd | does anyone know if it's possible to somehow automatically append "search blah.com" to my resolv.conf file when NetworkManager is managing it? | 22:53 |
| Pelo | rats not working , I'll just restart the comp | 22:53 |
| duane | im super confused I had wireless working on my old ubuntu hardy system without ndiwrapper, I recently reinstalled ubuntu hardy and let it do its updates and now when I go into hardware drivers it lists it and says enabled but says not in use and I cant select wireless network in network manager switch is set to on on the laptop and its broadcom :( | 22:53 |
| chubs_ | yit4s: connect it and find out | 22:53 |
| Pelo | thanks guiys | 22:53 |
| soundray | Arianna: the boot disc does not have to have the .iso file. It needs to have the CONTENTS of the iso file | 22:53 |
| Arianna | so the *iso file needs to be extracted first? | 22:54 |
| duane | I rebooted after updates also | 22:54 |
| yit4s | i dont have a projector. i'll be connecting it soon in my class since i have a presentation in few hours | 22:54 |
| ASULutzy | Decepticon: I guess try /bin/ps aux and sudo /bin/ps aux ? | 22:54 |
| Decepticon | ASULutzy yes i just tried it | 22:54 |
| Decepticon | same | 22:54 |
| Decepticon | same results | 22:54 |
| bobbyd | Adriaan: what program are you using to burn the iso? | 22:54 |
| Decepticon | sudo is giving more info | 22:54 |
| soundray | Arianna: no. You need to use a program that can create a CD from the iso image. The page in the factoid you received has help on this. | 22:54 |
| ASULutzy | Decepticon: Weird, well, I don't get paid to hang out here, so time to head home for me, gl! | 22:55 |
| yit4s | i still can boot windows though but why not show-off great ubuntu compiz?? | 22:55 |
| Decepticon | ok bai | 22:55 |
| soundray | yit4s: don't rely on it too much -- dual-screen can be iffy, depending on your graphics chipset. | 22:56 |
| Xavura | Ah while I'm here and while we are on the subject of compiz and graphics cards | 22:56 |
| Xavura | I have some very weird display issues from time to time | 22:56 |
| yit4s | i'm using generic intel on board graphic chipset on acer laptop | 22:56 |
| Infinito- | but I think extracting would have the same outcome to Arianna soundray, if she's doing it on windows. Some windows programs do "iso extraction", meaning they mount and copy the contents out to some folder... | 22:56 |
| Xavura | Like black patches over my window, which I can fix by moving the mouse around etc. | 22:56 |
| Xavura | And other weird things | 22:57 |
| eraldo | I have come across one and the same problem many times now: when Reinstalling Ubuntu while having a seperate home disk and using that one as /home again... I get errors when trying to logg in... yes there are suggested solutions on google and I tried some of them... some of the "solutions" made it worse... | 22:57 |
| Xavura | I've been trying to fix it for ages to no avail | 22:57 |
| soundray | yit4s: that's the best chip you can hope to have for the purpose | 22:57 |
| Xavura | So are there any people who know a lot about graphics cards etc. here? | 22:57 |
| phaedral | please point me to the howto for getting an intrepid package into my hardy install; I'm trying to get centerim 4.22.5 so I can use it for yahoo IM | 22:57 |
| phaedral | pretty please :) | 22:57 |
| yit4s | my teacher connected her mac to the projector via VGA-out so i dont think ubuntu should experience any probs | 22:58 |
| eraldo | the prblem now is that I don't know what would be the correct way of handling such a migration | 22:58 |
| Arianna | Infinito - WINRAR has successfully extracted the iso file to a new folder on the desktop - I can burn those multiple files as an image to disc quite easily - will that achieve the goal needed? | 22:58 |
| skibur | hello | 22:58 |
| skibur | I'm new to ubuntu | 22:58 |
| soundray | yit4s: if you have 8.04, you can set it up through System-Preferences-Screen Resolution | 22:58 |
| Xavura | Welcome skibur. | 22:58 |
| skibur | how do I install openssh | 22:58 |
| xel_ | Welcome Skibur! | 22:58 |
| Decepticon | why is '/bin/ps aux' giving less information than 'sudo /bin/ps aux' please tell why? | 22:58 |
| amenado | eraldo-> look at the uid used for your old /home | 22:58 |
| skibur | hello xavura | 22:58 |
| skibur | hello xel | 22:58 |
| Xavura | TRy | 22:58 |

| duane | do that in a terminal | 22:58 |
| Xavura | Alt+F2 | 22:58 |
| xel_ | skibur, sudo apt-get install openssh | 22:58 |
| skibur | I'm a Slackware user | 22:58 |
| Xavura | sudo apt-get install openssh | 22:58 |
| skibur | o ok | 22:59 |
| eraldo | amenado: is it a different one ? | 22:59 |
| skibur | thanks | 22:59 |
| xel_ | NP | 22:59 |
| yit4s | soundray: what is the clone tickbox? | 22:59 |
| Xavura | or use aptitiude or something | 22:59 |
| Xavura | aptitude* | 22:59 |
| skibur | is there a list via command line for new apps? | 22:59 |
| alexei_ | hello, what is the status/policy with hardy-backports? I want to pull newer lyx-1.5.5 from there, but aptitude wants toupgrade QT as well. I fear dll-hell... | 22:59 |
| Xavura | No idea, I'm new-ish too. | 22:59 |
| duane | use aptitude | 22:59 |
| Flannel | skibur: openssh-server, openssh doesn't exist anymore | 22:59 |
| Flannel | skibur: apt-cache search [stuff] | 22:59 |
| xel_ | Skibur. are you useing Destop version? | 22:59 |
| skibur | yes | 22:59 |
| chubs_ | skibur: are you migrating from slack to ubuntu? | 22:59 |
| chao1 | Hello ppl. I was wondering how do you edit the panels and their icons? | 22:59 |
| xel_ | Under applications | 22:59 |
| duane | system | administration | synpatic | 23:00 |
| skibur | well, Just trying out Ubuntu | 23:00 |
| eraldo | amenado: isn't there an options like in fedora where you can chose to use an existing home partition without having thouse permission problems | 23:00 |
| Flannel | skibur: Synaptic (System > Admin > Synaptic Package Manager) is a much easier method thanc ommand line | 23:00 |
| Xavura | chao1: right click | 23:00 |
| xel_ | skibur, under applications there is an Add/remove that will allow you to search applications | 23:00 |
| Xavura | You can add to panel, properties etc. | 23:00 |
| Hodge | Why is gnome so much better than kde? Please advise | 23:00 |
| Xavura | Hodge: I have been wondering this myself | 23:00 |
| soundray | yit4s: in clone mode, both screens show the same content. When it's off, the desktop stretches across the two displays | 23:00 |
| chubs_ | hodge: it's not :) | 23:00 |
| duane | soundray, would you be able help with my issue I posted above? | 23:00 |
| skibur | I searched for ssh | 23:00 |
| skibur | but nothing | 23:00 |
| skibur | ok | 23:00 |
| xel_ | skibur, also you can use the synaptic package manager | 23:00 |
| skibur | o ok | 23:01 |
| Xavura | did you try sudo apt-get install ssh-server | 23:01 |
| skibur | checking | 23:01 |
| skibur | not yet | 23:01 |
| yit4s | soundray: i guess that's what i need when connecting the projector | 23:01 |
| xel_ | skibur, are you going to be installing PHP apache and mysql? | 23:01 |
| skibur | nah | 23:01 |
| amenado | eraldo-> what is the uid you created in the new install? look at the old /home and see what users are there and their uid.. | 23:01 |
| skibur | jsut ssh server | 23:01 |
| Hodge | Every I talk to says gnome blows kde out of the water but I've tried both and don't see it | 23:01 |
| === Squawk_ is now known as Squawk | ||
| skibur | for now | 23:01 |
| chubs_ | hodge: kde and gnome are suited to different uses, kde is much easier to customize, newer users tend to like gnome more | 23:01 |
| skibur | if anybody is from Laredo | 23:02 |
| Xavura | Hodge: get compiz fusion :D that makes it so much more awesome | 23:02 |
| xel_ | skibur, go under system then administration then synaptic package manager | 23:02 |
| ^Ocean^ | I can no longer mount my Windows Harddrive. if I run qtparted, I see the drive as /dev/sda and the partition I want too mount /dev/sda1, Yet when I goto mount the drive, /dev/sda1 does not exsist | 23:02 |
| skibur | visit #laredolinux | 23:02 |
| Xavura | Hodge: Do what I did, burn Kubuntu to a disc, install it, do sudo apt-get install ubuntu-desktop, see how much better it is, remove Kubuntu. | 23:02 |
| chubs_ | hodge: if everyone you talk to uses ubuntu, that could certainly be the case, but kde is more preferred by "power users" | 23:02 |
| skibur | we opened a ubuntu store | 23:02 |
| soundray | duane: regression on Broadcom wireless? Don't think I can help, sorry | 23:02 |
| xel_ | skibur, then once in that program o a seach for openssh-server | 23:02 |
| skibur | ok | 23:02 |
| xel_ | do a seach**** | 23:02 |
| soundray | duane: have you looked at dmesg output and /var/log/syslog contents? | 23:03 |
| chubs_ | xavura: but kubuntu is honestly not a very good kde based distribution | 23:03 |
| chubs_ | if you're wanting a kde experience | 23:03 |
| Hodge | What about fluxbozx is it terrible? | 23:03 |
| Xavura | Good, because I thought it sucked | 23:03 |
| Xavura | Anyone familiar with Ubuntu's built-in FTP support? That is, Places > Connect to Server > Private FTP? | 23:03 |
| xel_ | So whats the big differnce between KDE and GNome? | 23:03 |
| Xavura | Lots. | 23:03 |
| chubs_ | hodge: fluxbox is awesome! people lie to you | 23:03 |
| Odd-rationale | !best | 23:03 |
| ubottu | 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. | 23:03 |
| Xavura | I'm having weird problems with Ubuntu cloning connections | 23:03 |
| Xavura | I end up with about 30 connections to my FTP and I get disconnected and have to kill all the processes from cPanel | 23:04 |
| Xavura | I've been asking here how to fix it for a week now | 23:04 |
| Xavura | It's THE single most annoying bug ever. | 23:04 |
| amenado | Xavura I ask you about that ftp yesterday and you are so unresponsive.. | 23:04 |
| Xavura | Since I use FTP about 24-7. | 23:04 |
| Xavura | amenado: What did you ask me exactly? | 23:04 |
| Xavura | I could have been away if I was "unresponsive" | 23:05 |
| chubs_ | xavura: if nobody can help you here you may want to try a different channel | 23:05 |
| Xavura | But it is related to Ubuntu chubs_ | 23:05 |
| amenado | !who | Xavura | 23:05 |
| ubottu | Xavura: 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 :) | 23:05 |

| Bastu | Hey! the names of all my hdds (sda,b,c) just switched at reboot. Is there anyway to fix that? thank you! | 23:05 |
| laucky | Hi there. | 23:06 |
| laucky | All of you who need it: you can use my backup script which is pasted at http://rafb.net/p/hdpJPT37.html . | 23:06 |
| laucky | All of you who can help: How 2 remove lines #8 and #10 but getting a similar result? | 23:06 |
| ^Ocean^ | Bastu, Part of the new kernel upgrade aparintly... | 23:06 |
| skibur | ok | 23:06 |
| chubs_ | xavura: why is this problem specific to ubuntu? as opposed to linux in general? | 23:06 |
| chubs_ | or how do you know rather | 23:06 |
| Xavura | chubs_: because I have asked people on other distributions and they don't have the problem | 23:06 |
| Bastu | ^Ocean^ : is there any way to specify the names of the harddrives? | 23:06 |
| amenado | Xavura-> are you sure you are running an ftp server? how do you verify this? | 23:06 |
| Xavura | because I cam connecting to ftp.mydomain.net? | 23:06 |
| joaopinto | Xavura, actually that problem is specific to Nautilus, that is the software providing the ftp interface from the menu | 23:06 |
| Hodge | Anyone ever setup hdmi sound? | 23:06 |
| chubs_ | xavura: but most people don't have that problem on ubuntu either ;). what app is it? | 23:06 |
| Xavura | chubs_: I have asked other people even on Ubuntu and they don't have the problem | 23:06 |
| skibur | using synaptics and installing openssh-server | 23:06 |

| chubs_ | xavura: command line ftp? | 23:07 |
| pupil | ? | 23:07 |
| Xavura | No thanks. | 23:07 |
| amenado | Xavura-> you believe there is a built-in ftp? can you verify this? | 23:07 |
| duane | soundray, it sees the alternate driver for it even :| yet orange light thats confusing as heck | 23:07 |
| Flannel | Bastu: Do they change every time? or was it just once? | 23:07 |
| Xavura | amenado: I assumed it was built-in. | 23:07 |
| joaopinto | I do have problems with the Nautlius and FTP, it keeps deleting my ftp bookmarks :P | 23:07 |
| Scunizi | Xavura: never tried it that way.. I always use gftp as a client.. works great. | 23:07 |
| Bastu | Flannel: just once now | 23:07 |
| duane | and only wired option in network settings | 23:07 |
| chubs_ | xavura: do you mean gftp? how do you connect? | 23:07 |
| webcamwonder | !info gftp | 23:07 |

| Bastu | Flannel: but i have not done much rebooting because its a server and sometimes it does not boot | 23:08 |

| Xavura | I hate that too. | 23:08 |
| joaopinto | amenado, he is referring to the client | 23:08 |
| soundray | duane: have you turned off roaming by mistake perhaps? | 23:08 |
| Xavura | Don't suggest clients, I hate them all | 23:08 |
| amenado | joakim--> ahhh okay | 23:08 |
| Flannel | Bastu: Did you just upgrade from an earlier release? | 23:08 |
| duane | Xavura, try kftpgrabber | 23:08 |
| laucky | In my system gftp crashes quite often. have a look at lftp. quite useable if you like shell | 23:08 |
| amenado | joaopinto-> ah okay | 23:08 |
| fooks | for some reason my screen says "out of range" when i put my resolution to 800x600 | 23:08 |
| Xavura | Except the built-in one, well the one that is used when you do Places > Connect to Server | 23:08 |
| Bastu | Flannel: no, full format on system drive | 23:08 |
| Xavura | I want somethign simple | 23:08 |
| duane | I checked the switch its on | 23:08 |
| fooks | when i know quite well that it can handle that size | 23:08 |
| duane | and have tryed it both positions | 23:08 |
| Flannel | Bastu: Oh, but this is a fresh install? | 23:08 |
| fooks | seeing as im at a larger one | 23:08 |
| Bastu | i have done upgrades through apt-get | 23:09 |
| Bastu | ofcource | 23:09 |
| Hodge | Anyone know an app to control mouse with a controller? | 23:09 |
| chubs_ | xavura: i've never used that for ftp transfers, what was your issue with gftp? | 23:09 |
| Xavura | chubs_, joaopinto, amenado: If I go to cPanel and go to current FTP sessions, there are LOTS and I mean lots, when I first connect, it makes 3. After a while of downloading files, there becomes so many connections that I double click a file to edit it in GEdit and I get a red cross on the file's tab then the tab disappears. IF I go to cPanel and kill all the connections it then works again. | 23:09 |
| Flannel | Bastu: You've had this install for a while though (under the old drive order)? | 23:09 |
| Xavura | I'm picky with application interfaces. | 23:09 |
| Xavura | I didn't like it. | 23:09 |
| Bastu | Flannel: for atleast a month the drives names have been the same | 23:09 |
| chubs_ | xavura: it's probably making a connection for every file you download then | 23:09 |
| Xavura | WHY?! | 23:09 |
| hiptobecubic | what does 'foo' mean and why is it used everywhere? | 23:10 |
| Xavura | That's the most stupid thing possible, in regards to FTP. | 23:10 |
| amenado | Xavura calm down, you first need to understand the difference between an ftp client and an ftp server | 23:10 |
| Bastu | Flannel: i did add a new drive in the fstab but the drive was in the comp before i added it to fstab.. been there for months | 23:10 |
| Xavura | I know what the difference is. | 23:10 |
| chubs_ | xavura: I have no idea but i don't think the connect to server is really designed for mass file transfers | 23:10 |
| skibur | thanks guys/gals | 23:10 |
| Scunizi | hiptobecubic: foo means "whatever" | 23:10 |
| Bastu | Flannel: since reformat | 23:10 |
| laucky | hiptobe... fo means: "set in what you need or want to" | 23:10 |
| joaopinto | !bugs | Xavura | 23:10 |

| skibur | openssh-server installed | 23:10 |
| Xavura | I searched Launchpad | 23:10 |
| Xavura | NOthing. | 23:10 |
| Flannel | Bastu: fstab shouldn't change it. Order is determined by BIOS and GRUB. And moving like that is odd indeed. | 23:10 |
| duane | got it working with ndiwrapper lol | 23:10 |
| soundray | hiptobecubic: it's a metasyntactic variable. It helps to look this up on Wikipedia ;) | 23:10 |
| duane | thats werid | 23:10 |
| jeeves__ | can someone reccomend a GOOD FTP client? | 23:10 |
| joaopinto | chubs_, actually it is support to be just any other ftp client :) | 23:10 |
| Xavura | jeeves__: I haven't found any yet. | 23:10 |
| laucky | lftp | 23:10 |
| joaopinto | Xavura, report the problem on it | 23:11 |
| Flannel | jeeves__: filezilla? | 23:11 |
| laucky | jeeves: lftp | 23:11 |
| Bastu | Flannel: yes it is... should i just edit my fstab and see if it ever happens again? | 23:11 |
| chubs_ | joaopinto: oh alright, i've never used it before | 23:11 |
| Hodge | Why do people even use ftp anymore ?? | 23:11 |
| Xavura | amenado: I know what the difference is, the server is a kind of service running via Apache and the other is a way to connect to said server | 23:11 |
| chubs_ | hodge: what alternative is there? | 23:11 |
| Bastu | Hodge: what else would you use? | 23:11 |
| Flannel | Bastu: Your fstab should be using uuids, which will make movements like that not matter. | 23:11 |
| Xavura | Err Hodge, because people like editing their files from their website generally? | 23:11 |
| Hodge | Uh ssh scopy | 23:11 |
| laucky | hodge: 'cause there r providers w/o ssh support | 23:11 |
| fooks | how can i get my video card / monitor to stand 800x600? | 23:11 |
| yoyoned | chubs_: scp | 23:11 |
| joaopinto | Xavura, almost, just remoe the apache part, because an ftp service does not depend on apache :P | 23:11 |
| chubs_ | hodge: not everyone likes ssh | 23:11 |
| amenado | Xavura wrong, an ftp server does not have to have an apache running. | 23:11 |
| sinthetek | anyone know off hand how to stop init from attempting to check/mount the hd during boot? | 23:11 |
| Xavura | I was guessing. | 23:12 |
| chubs_ | everyone being servers | 23:12 |
| Hodge | People prefer unsecure connections? Odd | 23:12 |
| Xavura | Been as though like MySQL and PHP etc. need Apache | 23:12 |
| Bastu | Flannel: my fstab has UUids for the first drive but that one also switched names... but the drive was mounted correctly i guess | 23:12 |
| jeeves__ | Flannel, hummm, well, the 2 that I've tried don't seem to do too much | 23:12 |
| fooks | my screen goes out of range when i select that option, and i usually play games with that resolution | 23:12 |
| fooks | could this be a driver issue? | 23:12 |
| Lucifer | I love ssh | 23:12 |
| Xavura | Hodge: My host supports SSH and I'd use it as | 23:12 |
| Bastu | how do i figure out the UUIDS? | 23:12 |
| soundray | sinthetek: remove its entry from /etc/fstab | 23:12 |
| yoyoned | sinthetek: look at tune2fs command | 23:12 |
| Jack_Sparrow | !uuid | 23:12 |
| 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) | 23:12 |
| Xavura | it's not hard to use a CLI to move around and then do gedit file or wahtever | 23:12 |
| Flannel | Bastu: UUID doesn't care where the drive is (/dev/sdX), it uses the UUIDs, which shouldn't change. | 23:12 |
| joaopinto | Xavura, mysql and PHP dont need apache either, they are usually used with it, but they can also be used standalone ;) | 23:12 |
| amenado | Xavura you make this statements that are untrue.. be nice | 23:12 |
| Scunizi | Bastu: blkid | 23:12 |
| Bastu | blkid? | 23:12 |
| Xavura | Hodge: but I don't know how to set-up SSH with cPanel | 23:13 |
| Flannel | Bastu: yes, sudo blkid, will give you UUIDs of your partitions | 23:13 |
| Xavura | that would fix my FTP problem though | 23:13 |
| Scunizi | Bastu: that will tell you the uuid's of partitions | 23:13 |
| joaopinto | Xavura, using ssh will not help you with the client problem :) | 23:13 |
| joaopinto | well, assuming the problem is not related to the protocol | 23:13 |
| Xavura | Sure it will | 23:13 |
| Xavura | It won't be using the FTP client any more | 23:13 |
| Xavura | which is the cause of the problem | 23:13 |
| Bastu | kk.. ill try to mimic the UUID settings that i have allready and see if it works, thanks! | 23:13 |
| Hodge | ftp passwords are clear text it really is a terribly unsecure and mostly dated protocal... I find it hard to believe there are providers with only ftp | 23:13 |
| Xavura | If I connect from any other FTP client I don't have cloned connections. | 23:13 |
| chubs_ | hodge: believe it | 23:13 |
| joaopinto | Xavura, you need the client anyway, on this case, the same interface, nautilus with the SFTP protocol :P | 23:14 |
| amenado | Xavura why dont you clarify what is the requirement you have? just to transfer files? automatically? manually? | 23:14 |
| Xavura | I need to be able to download files | 23:14 |
| Xavura | edit them and reupload automatically | 23:14 |
| Xavura | and upload them too | 23:14 |
| Xavura | that's it | 23:14 |
| Hodge | Easy with even ssh | 23:14 |
| chubs_ | hodge: I know that for godaddy hosting, only dedicated servers can be ssh'ed into | 23:14 |
| chubs_ | that's the same a lot of places i think | 23:14 |
| Hodge | Lame | 23:15 |
| yoyoned | Xavura: I think nautilus does ftp | 23:15 |
| Xavura | joaopinto: At this point, I don't care, this problem is ****ing me off. I use FTP a LOT and I have to go into cPanel every 10 minutes to end 30 FTP connections. | 23:15 |
| amenado | Xavura-> you can not do this with command line? do you care about security? you own the ftp server itself? | 23:15 |
| Xavura | joaopinto: I'll try anything if there is even a CHANCE that it will stop this problem | 23:15 |
| joseph | hey all i have a terminal open and i want to save everything that i just typed at that terminal to a file... whats the command? | 23:15 |
| evil_tech | do samba share permissions override normal permissions | 23:15 |
| sinthetek | perhaps i should have stated the question/problem better: isn't there a boot option to prevent it from attempting to mount the hd? the hd is bad and i am playing with the notion of installing ubuntu onto a thumb drive it works ok on this system - but first i need to make it skip normal hd stuff (since it interrupts the boot process and i cannot test it) | 23:15 |
| joaopinto | Xavura, reporting the bug on launchpad would be the best thing to do :P | 23:15 |
| unop | joseph, it's already saved to ~/.bash_history | 23:15 |
| chubs_ | joseph: copy and paste? | 23:15 |
| Xavura | joaopinto: I will, but could someone help me get SSH working so I have a possible temporary fix | 23:16 |
| joseph | thanks | 23:16 |
| Xavura | I should be editing files right now but I got bored of manually ending connections. | 23:16 |
| Arianna | ok - I've just downloaed InfraRecorder as per the burning how to file that I was pointed to, then clicked "write contents of image filed to disc", let it do its thing, tried booting from it | 23:16 |
| webcamwonder | sinthetek: Are you attemptin to not mount the drive where you have your distro installed? | 23:16 |
| joaopinto | Xavura, sudo apt-get install openssh-server (and it's done) | 23:16 |
| unop | joseph, although, the history file does not contain output from commands you issued -- look into using script for that | 23:16 |
| amenado | joseph you should have started script beforehand..then it will save a history of your commands | 23:16 |
| Xavura | joaopinto: I mean, on my website | 23:16 |
| Xavura | I think I have the ssh server installed | 23:16 |
| chubs_ | joseph: if you're looking for a commandline based text editor you can always use vim or nano | 23:16 |
| Xavura | I can do ssh whatever@ipaddress | 23:16 |
| joaopinto | Xavura, so just login to it using ssh :) | 23:16 |
| danand | joseph - the command "history" should give you all the previous commands you've typed | 23:16 |
| fooks | when i run dpkg-reconfigure xserver-xorg i never see a section on my graphics card | 23:16 |
| sinthetek | webcamwonder: there is no distro installed on it, i'm trying to get the livecd to boot without attempting to mount the hd | 23:17 |
| fooks | why is this? | 23:17 |
| joaopinto | fooks, on the new xorg version the driver is automatically detected | 23:17 |
| yoyoned | Xavura: use nautilus to connect via ssh or ftp, open the file, and ghanges will be saved and uploaded | 23:17 |
| Xavura | joaopinto: cPanel wants me to set-up keys and stuff so I can use SSH, I don't understand it | 23:17 |
| soundray | sinthetek: the live CD does not normally mount the HD | 23:17 |
| joseph | umm i used ssh to log onto a server so i want to save to a file | 23:17 |
| Xavura | joseph what editor? | 23:17 |
| fooks | joaopinto, how do i configure resolutions so conveniently now? | 23:17 |
| Xavura | nano? ctrl+x... | 23:17 |
| Xavura | I don't know any others :P | 23:17 |
| Xavura | ctrl+x then yes | 23:17 |
| Xavura | err, "y" | 23:18 |
| fooks | my monitor blacks out at 800x600 which is ridiculous | 23:18 |
| whileimhere | Evening folks. I need to use a program called Discjuggler to burn a few cds. Anyone know if it works with WINE? I checked the DB and didnt see anything on it. | 23:18 |
| chubs_ | joseph: did you just type text into the command line or something? | 23:18 |
| Xavura | fooks: Mine blacks out at anything higher than 1280x1024 | 23:18 |
| gordonjcp | whileimhere: what does discjuggler do? | 23:18 |
| joaopinto | fooks, dont ask me, i just use the screen resol menu entry | 23:18 |
| Xavura | fooks: but 800x600 may as well be deprecated, if you use that then you aren't doing it right. | 23:18 |
| evil_tech | fooks: sudo dpkg-reconfigure -phigh xserver-sorg i think anyways | 23:18 |
| extor | Is there a quick and dirty way for me to clone a remote web server to a local test machine so that it has the exact same .deb packages installed as the remote box? | 23:18 |
| Flannel | !cloning | extor | 23:19 |
| ubottu | extor: To replicate your packages selection on another machine (or restore it if re-installing), you can type « dpkg --get-selections > ~/my-packages », move the file "my-packages" to the other machine, and there type « sudo dpkg --set-selections < my-packages && apt-get dselect-upgrade » - See also !automate | 23:19 |

| eraldo | amenado: the name of the only user in that home partition was|is "pharo" if that is what you mean | 23:20 |

| naxaaa | anyway astronomers could tend to use ubuntu aren't they | 23:20 |
| Flannel | naxaaa: Whats your question? | 23:20 |
| amenado | eraldo-> what is pharo's uid? | 23:20 |
| fooks | laucky, i used the restricted-drivers manager in gnome to determine that | 23:20 |

| Xavura | fooks: I know nothing about graphics, I have graphics problems myself but they can be resolved so I've heard :P I haven't looked into how yet | 23:20 |

| amenado | eraldo when you installed the new ubuntu, what username and uid you created? | 23:21 |
| * sinthetek wonders if suspend/resume will let me bypass this stuff temporarily until i determine what to | 23:21 | |

| joaopinto | !icqbug | dutch | 23:23 |
| ubottu | dutch: A fix for ICQ within Pidgin is currently underway. Within a few days we should see it moved into the -updates repository. | 23:23 |
| joaopinto | dutch, if you have an urgent need, get the package from getdeb | 23:23 |
| Jack_Sparrow | dutch If you want the latest release, then you need to compile it yourself or see if a deb for Ubuntu is available. It will not show up in the repos.. Only critical bug fixes are applied to the current released versions | 23:23 |
| dutch | ok, thanks...it upgraded on the Vista box but not the 8.04 box... | 23:24 |

| dookles | Okay, so I ran out of space on my ubuntu partition apparently, I can't even login. How can I delete my backup partition and extend ubuntu over to that (it has about 60gb extra space) | 23:24 |
| webcamwonder | !gparted | dookles | 23:25 |
| Jack_Sparrow | dutch Sorry I grabbed the wrong line from my notes.. Ignore my first post | 23:25 |
| ubottu | dookles: 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 | 23:25 |
| chubs_ | dookles: the gparted livecd | 23:25 |
| Flannel | Jack_Sparrow: Are you sure? If so, why does the factoid say otherwise? | 23:25 |
| amenado | dookles-> you have to do this on live cd | 23:25 |
| dookles | My live CD is about 40 miles away | 23:25 |
| xel_ | dookles, I believe you can use a live cd to remedy this | 23:25 |
| dookles | I should have mentioned that. Gparted was my first thought | 23:25 |
| engineer | dookles you need to have a LVM set for that | 23:25 |
| xel_ | dookles, Bittorrent a new one? | 23:25 |
| amenado | dookles-> if you can not log on as root, how else ? | 23:25 |
| dutch | Jack_Sparrow: ok...np...and I can wait | 23:25 |

| dookles | yes. | 23:25 |
| WalloO | crash.... | 23:25 |
| chubs_ | dookles: linux? or other? | 23:26 |
| Jack_Sparrow | Flannel The difference is official vs one built in here by you know who.. | 23:26 |
| dookles | xp. | 23:26 |
| Khisanth | got a USB drive/blank disk? :) | 23:26 |
| chubs_ | dookles: you may need to get some extra drivers and use a partitioning program under xp, if you can't get a gparted cd | 23:26 |
| amenado | dookles-> burn one of those ultimate cd | 23:26 |
| RoC_MasterMind | anybody else notice that VLC is a lot more skippy and stops rendering video under load with 8.04 compared to 7.10? | 23:26 |
| dookles | ultimate cd? | 23:27 |
| xel_ | Roc_masterMind, I noticed that my VNC is like that over the LAN | 23:27 |
| Flannel | Jack_Sparrow: Thats not what I asked. The factoid says it'll be in -updates. | 23:27 |
| amenado | dookles-> yes, google for them , those are xp rescue disk on cdrom | 23:27 |
| chubs_ | amenado: he can't burn cd's, otherwise there wouldn't be this problem | 23:27 |
| joaopinto | Flannel, the fix, not the latest version :) | 23:27 |
| dookles | ah ok | 23:27 |
| xel_ | Dookles should just bittorrent the latest Unbuntu live cd | 23:27 |
| sdtr443w | I'm upgrading from 7.10 to 8.04 and I got some scary error messages. | 23:28 |
| dookles | I was thinking about that option | 23:28 |

| sdtr443w | Particularly, it claims it couldn't install linux-image-2.6.24-19-generic-2.6.24-19.34_amd64.deb | 23:28 |
| Jack_Sparrow | sdtr443w sounds like you may have some unofficial sources in your repos. | 23:28 |
| WalloO | sdtr443w, it'S better to install from scratch. | 23:28 |
| Flannel | joaopinto: Right, that's why they want .3 anyway. | 23:28 |
| sdtr443w | Gees why does the help site have "(recommended)" on the live upgrade instructions then? | 23:29 |
| dookles | I could use the ISO and virtualbox to resize the partitions, right? | 23:29 |
| soundray | sinthetek: try 'sda=none' as a boot option (hit F6 at the CD boot prompt to edit kernel options). If that doesn't help, try 'hda=none' | 23:29 |
| chubs_ | dookles: should be able to yeah | 23:29 |
| xel_ | sdtr443w, Cause they would like the upgrade to work all the time | 23:29 |
| sdtr443w | So is it likely that my box won't reboot again due to a botched kernel upgrade? | 23:29 |
| dru | hey .. can someone help me? .. | 23:29 |
| dookles | cool, thanks | 23:29 |

| marvin__ | hi guys, do you know an application that I can use to watch internet tv, like TVU? TVU under wine is really slow | 23:30 |
| dru | does anyone have any suggestions? | 23:30 |
| joaopinto | marvin__, I believe there is a sopcast client for linux.. never tried myself | 23:30 |
| fooks | god!, hardy is a buggy piece of shit, im going back to debian! | 23:30 |
| WalloO | marvin__, you can overclock you CPU... :) | 23:30 |
| sdtr443w | Jack_Sparrow: Give me about 5 minutes--the box is still churning on this stuff, unless you think it's safe to run as it's chugging along. | 23:30 |
| Jack_Sparrow | sdtr443w Do you have a sep /home partition? | 23:30 |
| marvin__ | haha laptop 1.3 ghz | 23:30 |
| marvin__ | ;) | 23:30 |
| xel_ | Whats TVU??? | 23:30 |
| Flannel | sdtr443w: Its probably salvagable. Upgrades are nicer, and some people swear installing from scratch is better. | 23:30 |
| Jack_Sparrow | sdtr443w It wont work if package manager is crunching along somewhere else | 23:31 |
| WalloO | marvin__, hmmm... more difficult to overclock... :) | 23:31 |
| chubs_ | marvin__: aatv | 23:31 |
| Sheeplet | lo all | 23:31 |
| marvin__ | thanks all | 23:31 |
| marvin__ | i'll look into it | 23:31 |
| sdtr443w | ok I should wait until this thing is done. | 23:31 |

| soundray | xel_: Thames Valley University | 23:37 |

| xel_ | some one just made refernce to it | 23:37 |

| maynards-girl | what's a good app to convert FLV files to mp4? | 23:39 |
| hmuller | maynards-girl: ffmpeg works, so does mencoder. mencoder has a bit of a learning curve. | 23:40 |
| chubs_ | maynards-girl: mencoder | 23:40 |
| xel_ | hmuller, what has happened is that the file is only open to THE "root" account so unless your logged into root you cannot remove it ... i assume you are useing the sudo command to RM that file correct? | 23:40 |
| maynards-girl | chubs_ , hmuller: thanks! | 23:40 |
| hmuller | xel_: no, removing it as a normal user, which is unexpected | 23:41 |
| soundray | plouffe: that bit of help is outdated. What do you need to know about your system? | 23:41 |

| plouffe | it's listed | 23:44 |

| webcamwonder | !checkinstall > webcamwonder | 23:49 |
| ubottu | webcamwonder, please see my private message | 23:49 |
| Jack_Sparrow | sdtr443w I dont see anything in there that would be a problem. All I can think is that something you installed manually or from source messed up dependencies | 23:49 |
| sdtr443w | Jack_Sparrow: I think an apt-get -f install kicked it into submission | 23:49 |
| unop | hmuller, by Desktop/testfile i assume you mean ~/Desktop/testfile ? | 23:49 |
| sdtr443w | I just installed pastebinit now so that implies it doesn't have unmet kernel issues anymore. | 23:50 |
| Jack_Sparrow | !aptfix | 23:50 |
| ubottu | If an APT front-end crashed and your database is locked, try this in a !terminal: « sudo fuser -vki /var/lib/dpkg/lock;sudo dpkg --configure -a » | 23:50 |
| hmuller | unop: yes, typo | 23:50 |
| Jack_Sparrow | sdtr443w I thought you had already tried that | 23:50 |
| unop | hmuller, well, then you can delete the file sure -- because you own the directory ~/Desktop/ | 23:50 |
| sdtr443w | Jack_Sparrow I had tried the -f install command just to install pastebinit; but typing "apt-get -f install" I got the tool to try and install the unmet dependencies first. I have no idea. | 23:51 |
| sdtr443w | Jack_Sparrow: n/m I forgot the -f when I did pastebinit | 23:51 |
| Jack_Sparrow | ok | 23:51 |
| hmuller | unop: ok, thanks. That sounds reasonable, I mistakenly thought I should not be able to delete a file owned by root. | 23:51 |

| cbassett | how can i make a text file open and execute in terminal(like a .bat in windows) | 23:53 |
| unop | hmuller, that might have been reasonable on windows or vms -- on the unix, it's not - the rationale is that somebody else puts files into your directories and disappears (leaves the company, etc) you must still be able to have control over the directory (in order to perhaps remove it) and not bother root about this trivial thing | 23:53 |
| Nathan406 | hello | 23:53 |
| sobersabre | soundray: are you up ? | 23:54 |
| soundray | sobersabre: only just | 23:54 |
| sobersabre | you've said that usplash centers the image. | 23:54 |
| unop | cbassett, look into shell scripts | 23:54 |
| sobersabre | I do have wide screen. | 23:54 |
| cbassett | you mean .sh? | 23:54 |
| sobersabre | how can I center it now? | 23:54 |
| ubina | I have a problem :( I am just running the Live CD, I want the system be up2date after installation, but it says: could not write /var/cache/..... No space left on device | 23:54 |
| hmuller | unop: appreciate the clarification! | 23:54 |
| ubina | Howto make my system up2date after installation?? | 23:55 |
| unop | cbassett, on unix, extensions don't matter -- a shell script can have any or no extension -- but .sh is commonly used, so yes | 23:55 |
| soundray | sobersabre: are you using the vga= boot option? | 23:55 |
| sobersabre | ubina: have you installed it on a hard disk or are you on a "Live CD" ? | 23:55 |
| sobersabre | soundray: yes. | 23:55 |
| soundray | ubina: gksudo update-manager | 23:55 |
| soundray | sobersabre: with which value? | 23:55 |
| sobersabre | I am using: video=vga16fb:1680x1050 vga=0x317 | 23:55 |
| cbassett | so now how would i write it? like, sudo aircrack-ng wlan0 | 23:55 |
| visik7 | good audio editor ? | 23:56 |
| cbassett | in shell script of course | 23:56 |
| naxaaa | Flannel, yeah, that was an astronomy related question. I used to find "russian people" on ubuntu and such channels with many ppl when i need a translator. i thought there is a chance for an astronomist | 23:56 |
| hawthoerne | does anyone know how to make the internet faster? | 23:56 |
| soundray | sobersabre: 0x317 is for 1024x768 -- have you tried dropping that one? | 23:56 |
| ubina | soundray I opened that but it gives me an error. no space left.. | 23:56 |
| naxaaa | Flannel, you know I am into ubuntu as a user but hey this is also a community why not try and find someone | 23:56 |
| soundray | ubina: perhaps you've made the install partition too small | 23:56 |
| naxaaa | Flannel, anyway i have to go sorry for causing confusion. bye. | 23:56 |

| Xavura | and I need to get it working | 23:58 |
| chubs_ | visik7: you'll need to stop using your sound and restart audacity before trying to use it, that could be the problem | 23:58 |
| unop | Xavura, depends, ask the question and we'll find out | 23:58 |

| unop | Josdell, that's so that if you have a problem with a newer kernel you have installed, you can always fall back on an older one | 23:59 |
| Xavura | It won't work. | 23:59 |
| ubina | soundray yes I tried to update the cd :) I thought this would make the system up2date after the install.. impossible ya? | 23:59 |
| visik7 | chubs_: everything that visible using audio is off | 23:59 |
