| Forest | imaginator: my firefox doesn't show java though | 00:00 |
| Fryguy-- | lenix_: well you'll have to update /etc/network/interfaces so that eth1 gets an IP, and then you'll have to add a static route to the routing table for it | 00:00 |
| Cew27 | anyone looking for a forum that isnt overcrowded join www.linux-forums.co.uk | 00:00 |
| imaginator | Forest: ok. What does ls -l list for the libjavaplugin_oji.so? Does that path exist? | 00:00 |
| rizkhan | hi | 00:00 |
| Forest | imaginator: wait, is the link directly to the libjava thing? | 00:00 |
| Fryguy-- | lenix_: to go alongside the default route to your adsl modem, otherwise you'll be on 2 separate subnets that won't be able to communicate | 00:00 |
| imaginator | Forest: yes | 00:00 |

| Storrgie | Jack_Sparrow: ever setup raid? | 00:02 |
| rizkhan | i can compile using -j | 00:02 |
| Fryguy-- | rizkhan: why not just allow linux to manage processes for you? It's going to do a better job of managing cpu resources than you will | 00:02 |
| xhuangzi | rizkhan yes | 00:02 |

| lenix_ | can you tell me what to do exactly ? | 00:03 |
| pulse00 | hi all. very strange problem here: when changing the display mode in the ati control center to "BigDesktop", xorg switches into that mode, also the xorg.conf is changed. but after a restart, my second monitor is simply a clone of the first again. | 00:03 |
| rizkhan | well .. m running 2 Open dynamic engine apps .. n the other cpu is idle .. so want to use that | 00:03 |

| EagleScreen | if i compile and install a new gspca driver will it replace the default gspca in Ubuntu?? | 00:03 |
| Fryguy-- | lenix_: you'll have to add eth1 to that list, should just be able to do auto eth1 | 00:03 |

| protractor | Fryguy: when it will released? | 00:04 |
| lukuspukus | matthew__, system - preferences - preferred applications | 00:05 |
| lenix_ | ok Fryguy-- , i added auto eth1 to that file | 00:05 |
| Jack_Sparrow | supertanker pendrivelinux.com | 00:05 |
| Fryguy-- | protractor: no idea, this is ubuntu, not #licq, go talk to the developers of the software and see if they are working on it | 00:05 |
| imaginator | EagleScreen: I'm not sure. I would think make install might. You can see in the Makefile for gspca (which IIRC is a camera driver set). | 00:05 |
| protractor | ok thx | 00:05 |
| Fryguy-- | lenix_: k, now sudo dhclient eth1 | 00:05 |
| Forest | imaginator: it is working, thanks | 00:05 |
| Jack_Sparrow | protractor the patch is done just waiting for testing | 00:05 |

| Tux2K8 | I want to install pidgin 2.4.3 on 7.10 , how do I find what dependencies do I need to install in order for it to work???? | 00:06 |
| ariqs | ok, how do I upgrade just pidgen with apt-get? sudo apt-get update pidgin tries to make me update everything | 00:07 |
| Fryguy-- | Tux2K8: .debs track dependencies for you | 00:07 |
| Tux2K8 | I dont use debs... | 00:07 |
| rizkhan | cant seem to find taskset .. | 00:07 |
| Tux2K8 | no 2.4.3 deb for 7.10 | 00:07 |
| Fryguy-- | ariqs: any reason you don't just update everything | 00:07 |
| Jack_Sparrow | Tux2K8 it will be uphill battle | 00:07 |
| supertanker | ariqs: Isn't it upgrade, not update? | 00:07 |
| Eric7 | apt-cache search pangocairo | 00:07 |
| Eric7 | nothing found... | 00:07 |
| supertanker | ariqs: update iirc updates apt otse;f | 00:07 |
| Gazingson | hi | 00:07 |
| wgato | fryguy: i think so. the bios on this new mb only lets me change the boot options and hard drive is listed and when i chose it, it reports no OS found | 00:07 |
| ariqs | yeah, it is upgrade actually, my bad. But that's what I had tried. I just typed it wrong in here. | 00:07 |
| rizkhan | got it .. thanks fryguy | 00:07 |
| Eric7 | should i search for pango lol? | 00:07 |
| Fryguy-- | Eric7: seriously, use some common sense here, the same thing has happened to you 3x now and you haven't figured out what you need to do yet? | 00:07 |
| ariqs | Fryguy: I can't possibly download all that nonsense on dialup | 00:07 |
| supertanker | itself* | 00:07 |
| Gazingson | how do i download programs made for windows | 00:08 |
| Gazingson | ? | 00:08 |
| Fryguy-- | !wine | Gazingson | 00:08 |
| ubottu | Gazingson: WINE is a compatibility layer for running Windows programs on GNU/Linux. See https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Wine for more information, and see !AppDB for application compatibility. | 00:08 |
| Tux2K8 | Jack_Sparrow : well I dont have any other way to do it.... on 7.10 | 00:08 |
| Terabyte | ks3 only ever seems to find it in the directory where its located | 00:08 |
| Fryguy-- | ariqs: you really should | 00:08 |
| ariqs | not happening. | 00:09 |
| Fryguy-- | ariqs: anyways, just use apt-get upgdate and then apt-get install pidgin | 00:09 |
| Eric7 | guile-gnome0-gtk - Guile bindings for GTK+, libglade, Pango and ATK? | 00:09 |
| lenix__ | Fryguy--, I got disconnected for a while after I added that line to the interfaces file | 00:09 |
| lenix__ | ;/ | 00:09 |
| Jack_Sparrow | Tux2K8 You wont get it done the way you are trying | 00:09 |
| ariqs | thanks | 00:09 |
| ks3 | Terabyte, In the directory you run it from? You can tell it where to search... find /path/to/start/search home.php | 00:09 |
| Tux2K8 | Jack_Sparrow: what ur saying is : no 2.4.3 for 7.10? | 00:09 |
| imaginator | wgato: you might try seeing in a terminal if dmesg lists your sata drive. There should also be a way to do that with the live cd too, perhaps via the System menu | 00:09 |

| quio | Hi. I am using Ubuntu Gutsy 7.10 The other day when I turned on my Dell d510 laptop my wireless connection would not turn on. It seems to turn off when the OS boots up. The only way to get it working is to hit the Fn key and F1. This however makes the laptop reboot on on boot up the wireless works. Is there a config file I need to adjust to tell the os to turn on the wireless on boot? | 00:10 |
| guillaume | I dont understand why the song wont just start | 00:11 |
| Eric7 | python-cairo-dev - Python cairo bindings: development files? | 00:11 |

| xfls | can someone tell me how to set konversation text charset to cp1251? | 00:11 |
| Fryguy-- | guillaume: probably using wrong sound infrastructre, review your sound configuration and make sure everything is working. If you are playing back sound as a user, make sure your user is part of the right groups to enable access to the sound device | 00:12 |
| Fryguy-- | Eric7: probably | 00:12 |
| Eric7 | k ^^ | 00:12 |
| ariqs | Fryguy: it says pidgin is already the newest version still | 00:13 |
| lenix__ | I still can't ping 192.168.0.1 , any suggestion ? :S | 00:13 |
| guillaume | Fryguy: when I do a sound test | 00:13 |
| guillaume | nothing | 00:13 |
| Fryguy-- | ariqs: then the newest version isn't in hardy yet, you can get it from getdeb.lnet if you want | 00:13 |
| Fryguy-- | guillaume: well you need to resolve that before you go screwing around with media players | 00:13 |
| imaginator | guillaume: what type of sound card are you using? does lspci list it? | 00:13 |
| brandano | ariqs: there was an article on slashdot today saying that the ICQ network has started refusing alternative clients | 00:13 |
| Fryguy-- | guillaume: try using a different mixer device or something | 00:13 |
| boogieman | sup dudes, i need some little help ..... i have ubuntu 8.04 with the latests wine, i ran utorrent.exe and it runs ok, (i've been downloading and the stuff is ok), but whenever i ran it, the executable dissapears.... i.e. /home/user/utorrent/utorrent.exe <-- disappears i can no longer find it and firefox does not list ... what could possibly be going on here ?

| joshual | I haven't tried to use synthesizer apps for many years, but I remmember way back when being able to use pretty powerful apps (cakewalk etc) on my now way way old machine (and windows). Now (as then) I have a pretty decent machine for the times, but when I attempt (at least in linux, havent tried in windows (dont have it installed)) to use these types of apps its a pain because i get breaking... | 00:14 |
| joshual | ...up and sound problems like crackling etc... | 00:14 |
| Fryguy-- | boogieman: how are you running it | 00:14 |
| guillaume | lol it was working great before hardy | 00:14 |
| Eric7 | checking for PANGO... no configure: error: pangocairo >= 1.16 is required to build swfdec | 00:14 |
| ariqs | brandano: purposely, or just because they are changing protocols? | 00:14 |
| Fryguy-- | guillaume: yes, and the sound infrastructure completely changed when upgrading to hardy | 00:14 |
| AMLNXUSR | Can anyone recommend and compiler tool i can use on .tar.bz files? | 00:14 |
| brandano | purposely, it sems | 00:14 |
| Eric7 | so i guess i need pango dev files? | 00:15 |

| brandano | But that's me, always expecting the worse from people | 00:15 |
| boogieman | i created a executable @ the desktop | 00:15 |
| Fryguy-- | AMLNXUSR: a tar.bz2 file is a compressed tarball, you use tar -xjf to decompress it | 00:15 |
| ariqs | fryguy: getdeb says to remove my current version before installing new version.. | 00:15 |
| imaginator | joshual: that may be a driver issue, unfortunately. What sound system is the program using? | 00:15 |
| guillaume | I think that even if the device would not be corectly config the song would still "play" | 00:15 |
| Fryguy-- | ariqs: so then do that | 00:15 |
| boogieman | but whenever i run it, the executable from the folder disappears | 00:15 |

| brandano | ariqs: you should be able to back it up, but in any case I doubt it gets removed with the program? | 00:16 |
| Fryguy-- | tgc: using mplayer? | 00:16 |
| tqc | mplayer, totem, anything, ubuntu 8.10 | 00:16 |
| imaginator | guillaume: let's start from the bottom up. First see if the device has a driver attached to it successfully. You might try dmesg or lspci to look for your sound card. | 00:16 |
| Fryguy-- | ariqs: it will only get removed if you use purge | 00:17 |
| satan_ | any idea why the frequency on my cores scales down by itself, even though i'm using the userspace governor | 00:17 |
| satan_ | could it be overheating? my laptop is super hot | 00:17 |
| ariqs | k | 00:17 |
| Fryguy-- | satan_: you probably have scaling enabled in your bios | 00:17 |
| Fryguy-- | most modern laptops have it enabled by default to save power and prevent overheating | 00:17 |
| satan_ | Fryguy--: i thought i had to have that enabled? | 00:17 |

| AMLNXUSR | so what will? | 00:25 |
| Fryguy-- | ph8: apache, lighthttpd, and nginx are popular choices | 00:25 |
| AMLNXUSR | iv tried everything i can think of | 00:25 |
| Fryguy-- | AMLNXUSR: well what specifically is the problem, and what have you done to resolve it? | 00:25 |

| Tux2K8 | (installed from source) | 00:33 |
| Fryguy-- | AMLNXUSR: you probably have to turn one OFF | 00:33 |
| Fryguy-- | AMLNXUSR: open up an app that plays sound and toggle the buttons until it works | 00:34 |

| amenado | recon69-> dont you have to basically read the csv file from within calc? | 01:06 |
| magic_ninjai | when i test multichannel playback i get sound from all 5 | 01:06 |
| amenado | Cyndre-> standard hourly rate :P | 01:07 |
| recon69 | amenado: not sure what you mean about reading the file, I just want to export a spreadsheet to a csv file. was stunned that its not there by default | 01:08 |
| Cyndre | amenado: its all screwed up because he had tons of issues and it took 4 times as long to get the data moved | 01:08 |
| amenado | recon69-> nothing on the save options? | 01:08 |
| frostburn | Cyndre, first, support channel, second, your standard rate be consistent in the contract, no? | 01:09 |
| recon69 | amenado: just PDF and html | 01:09 |
| amenado | Cyndre-> it does not matter, its time + materials..thats how much i would charge if it was me | 01:09 |
| Cyndre | amenado: no contracat, just told do whatever it takes :), so I dont want to screw him, or myself | 01:09 |
| Cyndre | amenado: normally $55 an hour, thinking 3 hours for $165 | 01:10 |
| amenado | Cyndre-> well, just watch out if somehow you can not fully recover all the data... | 01:10 |
| recon69 | sorry, was looking in export , save as has csv | 01:10 |
| r3mix | hey, i downloaded a gtk theme from gnome-look, can someone help me installing it? | 01:10 |
| GH234WEGD32 | WOUIUOIU | 01:10 |
| amenado | Cyndre-> if it will take you 3 hours, then you charge him the faire amount | 01:11 |

| xenoglossia | I'm trying to format my 7.8 GB USB Flash Drive. I want two partitions (sdg1: FAT32 5.8 GB, sdg2: FAT16 2.0 GB). Everytime I try to make the second partition in gparted, it always comes out as an "unknown filesystem" and fails to mount. Sometimes I get a "could not detect filesystem" error. What am I doing wrong? | 01:12 |
| Fryguy-- | well guys, apparently i'm no longer welcome here. It was a good 21 hour period helping you guys out. Too bad some people don't want me here. See you guys later I guess | 01:12 |
| nikin | legyes :) yes :D sometimes it happns that hungarian people come here | 01:12 |
| Fryguy-- | it looks like nalioth is going to take over answering questions now | 01:13 |
| amenado | Fryguy---> its okay my friend, just take a breather..enjoy the holidays for now | 01:13 |
| tr-33 | Fryguy--, wait a moment | 01:13 |
| nalioth | Fryguy--: this is a help channel, not an 'insult the users' channel or a ' i'm a martry - look at me ' channel | 01:14 |
| nikin | hy... can anyone suggest me a lightweight , highly customizable window manager what can display the window title and buttons on the left side of the window not the top. Being able to theme it would be nice to | 01:14 |
| tr-33 | Fryguy-- could you give me example of md5 from command line? 'md5 ...' | 01:14 |
| r3mix | can someone help me | 01:14 |
| magic_ninjai | !sound | 01:15 |
| ubottu | If you're having problems with sound, first ensure ALSA is selected, by double clicking on the volume control, then File -> Change Device (ALSA Mixer). If that fails, see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Sound - https://help.ubuntu.com/community/SoundTroubleshooting - http://alsa.opensrc.org/DmixPlugin - For playing audio files, see !Players and !MP3 | 01:15 |
| wgato | any ideas on why my hd doesnt show up in the partitor? | 01:15 |
| recon69 | gives Fryguy-- a hug | 01:15 |
| amenado | tr-33-> md5sum filename | 01:15 |
| SeaPhor | ohhh, i see Fryguy-- was banned, odd, i've watched him help alot- A-LOT of ppl, i know the ops know what their doing, first-hand lol, and i don't know the reasons, but i hope they re-consider, i've seen too many satisfied ppl that walked away happy | 01:15 |
| nikin | tr-33: it is md5sum [somefile] | 01:15 |
| Odd-rationale | !ask | r3mix | 01:15 |
| ubottu | r3mix: Please don't ask to ask a question, ask the question (all on ONE line, so others can read and follow it easily). If anyone knows the answer they will most likely answer. :-) | 01:15 |
| Fryguy-- | nalioth: why don't you count the number of helpful comments i've made over the past day and contrast that to the 2-lines worth of colorful insults I directed towards one person, who was offtopic and in the wrong channel anway. A ban was REALLY warranted there? like I said, have fun helping these people out, i'm obviously not wanted here anymore | 01:15 |
| SeaPhor | ok | 01:15 |
| Fryguy-- | tr-33: sorry, you'll have to ask someone else | 01:15 |

| mindheavy | every time i put an sd card in my laptop, f-spot autoruns and trys to import everything, every single box in preferences->removable drives and media is unchecked, how else can this be stopped? | 01:16 |
| tr-33 | amenado and nikin, i've tried that. i'm testing it on a file that isn't done downloading and i'm not getting any errors | 01:16 |
| amenado | nalioth-> i agree with Fryguy, sometimes we get overzealous..give him a break, its holiday anyways..peace out | 01:16 |
| amenado | tr-33 wait til its done downloading then | 01:17 |
| xenoglossia | I have noticed, though, that it *sometimes* works if I make the first partition bigger than the second | 01:17 |
| Odd-rationale | mindheavy: pref --> file management --> media | 01:17 |
| tr-33 | oh, nevermind. they don't match :) | 01:17 |
| nikin | tr-33 you shouldnt the program just runs to the current end of file... if you want to check integrity with md5 you need a value to compare to | 01:17 |
| roudaddy | Anyone running 8.04 on a laptop with dual batteries? would like to automagically switch to the second battery before the first goes to zero | 01:17 |
| tr-33 | yea, i have a value to compare it to. | 01:18 |
| mindheavy | Odd-rationale: i dont have 'file management' under preferences, its 8.04 if that matters | 01:18 |
| nikin | the easy way is to manualy check if it is the same | 01:18 |
| AMLNXUSR | FryGuy> is there a way i can get ubuntu to redetect my hardware settings? | 01:18 |
| wobblywu | was 8.04.1 delayed, or am I just impatient? the release date is today according to the hardy schedule | 01:18 |
| Odd-rationale | mindheavy: then open a file browser (nautilus) and go to Edit --> preferences --> media | 01:19 |
| Fryguy-- | AMLNXUSR: sorry, I am no longer helping people, I'm not welcome here anymore | 01:19 |
| mindheavy | Odd-rationale: ah, thank you | 01:19 |
| crimsun | wobblywu: a bit late, eh? http://releases.ubuntu.com/hardy/ | 01:19 |
| Tripsev | Looking for experienced Zenoss user to aswer some questions... | 01:19 |
| wobblywu | crimsun, lol I take it all back | 01:19 |
| wobblywu | crimsun, didn't see it there a few hours back, didn't see an announcement on main just then, 1+1 equaled "delayed" to me -- nevermind :) | 01:20 |
| erat123 | wobblywu: ha! i was getting worried when you said that... good ol ubuntu | 01:20 |
| jm2k | have too many Apache process id's on my local server (laptop). Why? | 01:21 |
| r3mix | how do i install a theme i downloaded off gnome-look? | 01:21 |
| amenado | jm2k-> how many are you expecting? | 01:21 |
| __yy_ | jm2k: define "too many" | 01:21 |
| Fryguy-- | nalioth: you going to help any of these people? or do you want me to take care of it for you? | 01:21 |
| hrlr | Any idea when the 8.04.1 ISO is going to be available for general consumption? | 01:21 |
| Fryguy-- | nalioth: wouldn't want to intrude | 01:21 |
| jm2k | amenado: just one, i do development from my laptop them upload to server. | 01:21 |
| crimsun | hrlr: it's already available. | 01:21 |
| nikin | r3mix: extract it to ~/.themes | 01:22 |
| jm2k | amenado: i have six apache2 process-ids running. | 01:22 |
| hrlr | crimsun: The main Ubuntu page doesn't indicate such. | 01:22 |
| amenado | jm2k-> well apache always starts a few so it can readily serve plenty of users..apache dont want them to be waiting in line for a socket | 01:22 |
| jm2k | __yy_: i have six apache2 process-ids running. | 01:22 |
| __yy_ | jm2k: you can set how many processes apache keeps around in its config... apache generally uses one process per connection and keeps a pool of running processes around waiting for incoming connections | 01:23 |
| jm2k | hmm, i realize that but if i'm the only one it needs to serve, why more than one processes? | 01:23 |
| crimsun | hrlr: try the actual hardy download page. | 01:23 |
| crimsun | hrlr: i.e., http://releases.ubuntu.com/hardy/ | 01:23 |
| amenado | jm2k there is a setting to limit it the number of processes it should spawn, btw, six is not awfully hard on your cpu is it? | 01:24 |
| __yy_ | jm2k: it takes time to spawn a process, having them ready allows apache to respond faster. Like I said, you can configure how many are kept like that in the config | 01:24 |
| === __yy_ is now known as __yy | ||
| jm2k | __yy_: the processes should die out when no request to local server, right? well i have no browser open but still 6 open apache2 processes. | 01:24 |
| amenado | jim2k nope, it should not die, its there waiting | 01:25 |
| __yy | jm2k: no, that's not correct. Apache keeps a pool of waiting processes so that it doesn't have the overhead time of starting a new process when a new connection comes in. | 01:25 |
| hrlr | crimsun: Thanks! :) | 01:25 |
| __yy | jm2k: if you want it to not do this you need to set the size of this pool to 1 | 01:25 |
| jm2k | if doing development for me on my ubuntu laptop, how many processses do you recommend? | 01:25 |
| __yy | jm2k: honestly, I don't see anything wrong with 6 | 01:26 |
| amenado | jm2k-> default is okay, you would not lose much resource | 01:26 |
| __yy | jm2k: they're not using CPU time while they wait, so unless you're desperate for the RAM I don't see why they'd be a problem | 01:26 |
| lubosz | what is the best method to install the nvidia driver on hardy 64? there was no restricted drivers setup. nvidia-glx-new? | 01:26 |
| Victor``` | nvidia has an amd64 driver for linux? | 01:27 |
| r3mix | okay, thanks, i installed the theme - now where do i move the theme icons? | 01:28 |
| jm2k | __yy: basicallly i'm trying to trim out unnecessary processes and finding scripts running that are no longer needed. | 01:28 |
| lubosz | Victor```: it should ^^ | 01:28 |
| Victor``` | i guess they do | 01:28 |
| jm2k | __yy, amenado: thx | 01:28 |
| RonLut1 | I have a problem: I deleted totem and Installed VLC instead. now when I "Open" files (avi and other) from gmail for example It says me: /tmp/bowling.avi could not be opened, because an unknown error occurred. Try saving to disk first and then opening the file. | 01:29 |
| ^Ocean^ | Are there any tools for linux Similar too Norton Disk Doctor ? | 01:29 |
| === ocex is now known as xxor | ||
| {alejandro} | hey who can help me with a pretty technical problem - I'm not booting | 01:30 |
| === xxor is now known as xxor27h | ||
| __yy | RonLut1: what happens when you try saving to disk first and then opening the file? | 01:30 |
| __yy | {alejandro}: don't ask to ask, ask. If someone knows the answer they'll respond. | 01:30 |
| lubosz | Fryguy--: thx | 01:30 |
| amenado | {alejandro}-> what have you done? is this a new install? | 01:30 |
| {alejandro} | this is an old install - I think it's freezing up on the pci initialization | 01:31 |
| {alejandro} | 0000:00:0f.0: controller can't do NCQ turning off CAP_NCQ | 01:31 |
| magic_ninjai | i get no sound with alsa, could it be that its not installed? | 01:31 |
| {alejandro} | wait that's the third part | 01:31 |
| {alejandro} | ACPI: PCI Interrupt 0000:00:0f.0[B] -> GSI 21 (level, low) -> IRQ 16 | 01:31 |
| {alejandro} | 0000:00:0f.0: controller can't do NCQ turning off CAP_NCQ | 01:31 |
| {alejandro} | 0000:00:0f.0: controller can't do PMP turning off CAP_PMP | 01:31 |
| FloodBot1 | {alejandro}: Please don't flood, use http://paste.ubuntu.com to paste, don't use Enter as punctuation. | 01:31 |
| {alejandro} | it's just three lines | 01:31 |
| {alejandro} | oh that's a robot sorry | 01:31 |
| crimsun | magic_ninjai: ALSA is definitely installed by default. | 01:32 |
| xxor27h | can anybody helps me? i am a newbie ) and i have a problem with deinstalint programs which was compiled and installed fro sources | 01:32 |
| xxor27h | *deinstalling | 01:32 |
| phishy | I'm wondering if there is anyway i can have the exact same sensitivity on a windows install as on a ubuntu install? I havn't used ubuntu since 7.10 and in that version having absolutely no acceleration limited your mouse speed a lot. I'm wondering if maybe there is a way i could increase my mouse sensitivity without having any acceleration at all? ( this way i could play games on linux without finding a new sensitivity :) | 01:32 |
| {alejandro} | this is on an install I've had for a while - could anyone translate that into what kind of hardware problems I might be having | 01:32 |
| magic_ninjai | crimsun, after system-->preferences-->sound being set to alsa i get no playback | 01:33 |
| AMLNXUSR | anyone know how i can get ubuntu to redetect my hardware settings? | 01:33 |
| __yy | xxor27h: unless the source package provides an uninstaller, you're probably out of luck. You could try going to to source directory and typing 'make uninstall' ... but you'll probably need to track down the installed files manually. | 01:33 |
| xtknight | AMLNXUSR, what kind of hardware settings | 01:33 |
| ubuntu | hey everybody, I could use some help: installing ubuntu (currently on live) hardy on an intel ich9r fakeraid 0 is giving me trouble, it cant correctly detect the raid0, anybody experience with that? | 01:33 |
| crimsun | magic_ninjai: you have to remove the pulseaudio package, too, and log out and back in | 01:33 |
| AMLNXUSR | sound card mainly | 01:33 |
| {alejandro} | sigh | 01:33 |
| crimsun | magic_ninjai: or, at the very least, uncheck System> Preferences> Sound> Sounds> Enable software sound mixing | 01:34 |
| _2 | 2 [root@dell:~] xcdroast | 01:34 |
| _2 | Xlib: connection to ":0.0" refused by server | 01:34 |
| ubunubi | ubuntu:: unless you absolutely need that fakeraid, you're gonna set yourself up for heartbreak and exhaustion in the long run | 01:34 |
| checkpoint | hi | 01:34 |
| amenado | {alejandro}-> have you tried to google for those errors? | 01:34 |
| _2 | how to run xcdroast as root without sudo ? | 01:34 |
| {alejandro} | not yet - just checking if it rang a bell with anyone | 01:34 |
| jm2k | what is the command to check each process id belongs to which application/files? | 01:35 |
| ubuntu | ubunubi, well, im kinda used to stuff like this :D its just that everybody seemes to be getting trouble using a intel ich9r and I need to keep my windows installation for now | 01:35 |
| lubosz | so the nvidia 173.14.09 (Stable since june 16) is not in the repos yet???? | 01:35 |
| lubosz | ? | 01:35 |
| crimsun | _2: gksu xcdroast | 01:35 |
| checkpoint | is it possible run under ubuntu , a virtual pc 2007? | 01:35 |
| __yy | jm2k: ps axu | 01:35 |
| magic_ninjai | crimsun, already did | 01:35 |
| amenado | jm2k-> try fuser or lsof | 01:35 |
| _2 | crimsun with out sudo | 01:35 |
| xtknight | AMLNXUSR, it will do this on a restart | 01:35 |
| xtknight | AMLNXUSR, what precisely though do you want it to do? | 01:35 |
| crimsun | _2: then you'll need to do the xauth magic exporting and importing manually | 01:35 |
| lubosz | checkpoint: you can use virtualbox or vmware for virtualisation of windows | 01:35 |
| crimsun | magic_ninjai: already did what? | 01:36 |
| Victor``` | checkpoint: run ubuntu under virtual pc 2007, yes | 01:36 |
| simplexio | checkpoint: ? ubuntu under vpc or vpc in ubuntu ? and prbably yes , and no | 01:36 |
| Victor``` | run virtual pc 2007 in ubuntu, no | 01:36 |
| magic_ninjai | crimsun, turned off esd | 01:36 |
| {alejandro} | hm so I know it's in the PCI BIOS | 01:36 |
| _2 | crimsun i exported DISPLAY=':0' no help | 01:36 |
| {alejandro} | I guess | 01:36 |
| crimsun | magic_ninjai: did you log out and back in? | 01:36 |
| lubosz | checkpoint: if you want to run your old vpc07 vm, then good look converting the image, or try running the software with wine | 01:36 |
| checkpoint | lubosz u mean i run vmware windows and inside my wmware i run virutal pc? | 01:36 |
| Maarekstele | has anyone used Screem before/ | 01:36 |
| lubosz | checkpoint: no | 01:36 |
| magic_ninjai | crimsun, configuring 5.1 speakers, i get 5.1 sound from ubuntu itself, BUT i get sound from only two speakers with amarok | 01:36 |
| crimsun | magic_ninjai: (I recommend you remove the pulseaudio package if you want to go the PA-less route) | 01:36 |
| lubosz | checkpoint: convert the image, and use virtualbox | 01:36 |
| ubunubi | ubuntu:: can't help ya on getting it to work (i'd assume you'd have to manually upgrade to a kernel that has better ich9r support than the one supplied with ubuntu by default) -- but i'd cough up $50 for a 500gb HD and install directly to that before I'd spend 20+ hours doing that :P ....sadly if you change to a newer dev kernel for ich support your ubuntu installation will be unable to be supported officially | 01:36 |
| simplexio | btw.. is virtual pc xxxx good? | 01:36 |
| _2 | crimsun what's the command to make xorg permiscuous ? | 01:36 |
| Victor``` | simplexio: yeah | 01:36 |
| lubosz | checkpoint: or reinstall the vm in vbox ^^ | 01:36 |
| checkpoint | kinda problem it not allowing convert image of vmc | 01:37 |
| checkpoint | cuz thos machiens are from microsoft learning | 01:37 |
| checkpoint | mcse 2003 | 01:37 |
| crimsun | _2: xhost, but I strongly discourage you from using it, because it's deprecated. Use xauth instead. | 01:37 |
| lubosz | checkpoint: running vpc07 in wine would be no good, cause m$ software runs like $h*t in wine | 01:37 |
| Victor``` | lubosz: i ran office 2k3 in wine just fine | 01:37 |
| _2 | ah yes xhost | 01:37 |
| _2 | thank you. | 01:37 |
| {alejandro} | amenado do you know how to translate some of this? google isn't that straightforward | 01:37 |
| jm2k | curious: why do process numeric id's skip, PID's: 1,3,4,5,2003,4080,etc ? | 01:37 |
| AMLNXUSR | xtknihgt, i have no sound.. i've checked online forums and talked to many people about this but still no sound.. iv tried to configure te alsamister and played around with the volume controls for 2 days now and still nothing | 01:37 |
| === c is now known as Charitwo | ||
| RonLut1 | __yy: it works... | 01:38 |
| ubuntu | ubunubi, yeah i know the deal with foreign kernels and i wouldnt have a problem with that, btw I tried your suggestion already by installing ubuntu onto a third, nonraid hd i built in, sadly grub has issues trying to start windows up because it obviously cant find it, its on the raid | 01:38 |
| amenado | {alejandro}-> what type of drive? sata? ide? | 01:38 |
| magic_ninjai | crimsun, explain please? | 01:38 |
| simplexio | jm2k: because its serial number that runs from 1-> | 01:38 |
| crimsun | jm2k: they're not "skipping." In the Ubuntu kernel, they're sequentially incremented. | 01:38 |
| thetank | is there a way for fspot to download video off my camera instead of just pictures | 01:38 |
| {alejandro} | so far what I get is that that NCQ has to do with initializing the hard drive and PMP too? | 01:38 |
| {alejandro} | It's ide | 01:38 |
| checkpoint | guys what linux distro have inculded vpn,pptp,and cable modem dial ups inside already? | 01:38 |
| crimsun | magic_ninjai: explain what? | 01:38 |
| ubunubi | ubuntu:: your motherboard should have either an IDE or SATA port on another controller | 01:38 |
| ubunubi | ubuntu:: what motherboard? | 01:39 |
| jm2k | crimson: incremented until next reboot? | 01:39 |
| Victor``` | checkpoint: most linux distros should have that afaik | 01:39 |
| Victor``` | cable modem dialup? | 01:39 |
| ubuntu | ubunubi, yeah, i attached it to an IDE controller, its a gigabyte p35 dq6 newest bios | 01:39 |
| checkpoint | well kinda not | 01:39 |
| jm2k | crimsun: incremented until next reboot? | 01:39 |
| __yy | RonLut1: what? | 01:39 |
| crimsun | jm2k: until it reaches the upper signed 32-bit limit. | 01:39 |
| checkpoint | i have miniport wan ppptp connection to my host | 01:39 |
| ubuntu | ubunubi, the raid0 is on the same controller i reckon, just sata2 | 01:39 |
| Maarekstele | Victor```: cablemodems should auto connect on their own | 01:39 |
| checkpoint | and i can not make it in ubunru | 01:39 |
| JohnRobert | anyone know of a format that's similar to dvd-video (not mpeg2, I'm talking about the video and the menus, subtitles etc) that uses mpeg4? eg - dvd video but with mpeg4 instead of 2. | 01:39 |
| jm2k | gothca, thx | 01:39 |
| thetank | is there a way for fspot to download video off my camera instead of just pictures | 01:40 |
| Victor``` | Maarekstele: yeah, he said something about "cable modem dial ups" | 01:40 |
| simplexio | jm2k: and after max it uses free ones | 01:40 |
| RonLut1 | __yy: when I save it, it does works | 01:40 |
| magic_ninjai | crimsun, got it thanks | 01:40 |
| RonLut1 | __yy: I mean, VLC is playing the file from desktop... | 01:40 |
| thetank | or better yet how do I mount usb | 01:40 |
| simplexio | jm2k: so max is 2^32 precosesssame time | 01:40 |
| checkpoint | if i run ubuntu in vmware , i get same as i run it on my pc? | 01:40 |

| xtknight | AMLNXUSR, sorry you had misspelled my name so i didn't get notified... but anyway abotu your problem, what sound card do youhave? | 01:40 |
| Victor``` | crimsun: is that even likely? | 01:40 |
| crimsun | Victor```: yes. | 01:41 |
| AMLNXUSR | sorry bout that | 01:41 |
| Victor``` | i've had boxes with uptimes of over a year that still had 5-digit pids | 01:41 |
| {alejandro} | actually it seems like this isn't a good topic for the ubuntu room | 01:41 |
| {alejandro} | this seems like more of a hardware problem | 01:41 |
| {alejandro} | just one I don't quite get | 01:41 |
| __yy | RonLut1: good, go with god. | 01:41 |
| amenado | {alejandro}-> yeah, its way too deep | 01:41 |
| ubunubi | ubuntu:: unfortunately looking at the specs for that MB, all your sata ports are run through your southbridge, sadly. looks like you'd have to use your 1 IDE connectino | 01:41 |
| simplexio | Victor```: lemmee check that | 01:41 |
| AMLNXUSR | sound blaster audigy 2 | 01:41 |
| xtknight | AMLNXUSR, ah ok. i have this card too. one very common problem is that you need to tell it to switch between analog/digital output | 01:41 |
| RonLut1 | __yy: :\ what? | 01:41 |
| Victor``` | i've never had a 6 or 7 digit pid :) | 01:41 |
| crimsun | sigh, it helps if I actually said 16-bit instead of 32-bit. | 01:41 |
| crimsun | anyhow. | 01:41 |
| xtknight | AMLNXUSR, see if it is listed in "asoundconf list" | 01:42 |

| Victor``` | then agian | 01:42 |
| xtknight | im using ich9 works for sata, but havent tried raid yet | 01:42 |

| xtknight | AMLNXUSR, start a terminal and type that | 01:42 |
| RonLut1 | can some one help me? I have a problem: I deleted totem and Installed VLC instead. now when I "Open" files (avi and other) from gmail for example It says: "/tmp/bowling.avi could not be opened, because an unknown error occurred. Try saving to disk first and then opening the file." When I try to save it and then play, it plays well in VLC.... | 01:43 |
| ubuntu | ubunubi, looks like every thread about ich9r is about the same trouble but nothing is ever resolved :/ i hear 8.10 is planned to support fakeraid? do you know if it does ich9r? | 01:43 |
| Bora | tech007: are you here? I just installed ubuntu 8.04 on my bigger machine, and i have the same 3d video problem, any help please? | 01:43 |
| simplexio | yeah.. my ubuntu desktop get reboot every month or so for new kernel | 01:43 |
| Victor``` | if it actually reached the upper limit, wouldn't it just panic | 01:43 |
| crimsun | Victor```: no, it rolls over. | 01:43 |
| ubunubi | ubuntu:: i'm not up to date yet on 8.10's plans, sorry | 01:43 |
| simplexio | Victor```: far as i knoe it loops over and uses free ids | 01:43 |
| __yy | RonLut1: The error message you got tells you how to fix the problem... | 01:43 |
| sharperguy | Umm, by any chance does someone have the package network-manager-gnome for edgy eft? (its the latest live-cd i have and i can't get on wifi) | 01:43 |
| Victor``` | hmm | 01:43 |
| AMLNXUSR | ok yea my audigy is listed in asoundconf list" | 01:44 |
| Victor``` | i thought they would conflict and the kernel would panic | 01:44 |
| ubuntu | ubunubi, mh.. okay. thanks anyway, if you get any ideas ill be in this channel as Svenstaro | 01:44 |

| xenoglossia | Hi again! I'm trying to format my 7.8 GB USB Flash Drive. I want two partitions (sdg1: FAT32 5.8 GB, sdg2: FAT16 2.0 GB). Everytime I try to make the second partition in gparted, it always comes out as an "unknown filesystem" and fails to mount. Sometimes I get a "could not detect filesystem" error. What am I doing wrong? Oh -- I have also noticed, though, that it *sometimes* works if I make the first partition bigger than | 01:45 |
| xenoglossia | the second, and I tried fdisk, too. No luck. Thanks much! | 01:45 |
| crimsun | Victor```: if you're alluding to having all 2^16 /active/, yes, you'd get miserable performance long before then. | 01:45 |
| RonLut1 | __yy: saving every file is NOT a fix to the problem. I want to open files. I am sure it some kind of association problem | 01:45 |
| st4nny | mm df .. of the partition and not of the directory.. | 01:45 |
| Victor``` | st4nny: yes, use du | 01:45 |
| ubunubi | Svenstaro: so does the livecd install using dmraid, then when you reboot grub can't load ubuntu or does it not even get that far? | 01:45 |
| Claw6 | i have a problem : i cannot mount a partition | 01:45 |
| Bora | is there anyone who can help me out install my graphic card right? I don't get 3d effect when "changing desktop" | 01:46 |
| __yy | RonLut1: it's an "unknown error" ... "unknown error" is not "association problem" | 01:46 |
| Victor``` | crimsun: wouldn't it be 2^32 | 01:46 |
| Claw6 | its called sdb1 how to mount? | 01:46 |
| Svenstaro | ubunubi, I dont even need dmraid for setting up on the single disks i put in, the problem is that it doesnt find my fakeraid, the installation is okay for singledisks | 01:46 |
| AMLNXUSR | xtknight, my card is listed under 'asoundconf list" | 01:46 |
| st4nny | mmm wow!! thanks Victor.. | 01:46 |
| Svenstaro | ubunubi, grub doesnt like fakeraids either though it boots single disks | 01:47 |
| st4nny | i don't know..du.. :) | 01:47 |
| ubunubi | Svenstaro: and by "it" do you mean the installer or grub after a (seemingly) successful install from a livecd? | 01:47 |
| Victor``` | st4nny: hmm? | 01:47 |
| thetank | is there a way for fspot to download video off my camera instead of just pictures | 01:47 |
| lubosz | Victor```: wine is optimized for office, cause a lot of development time has gone into it. but try ie8 :D or anything...msn, the software is just too creepy and not plattform independent | 01:47 |

| xtknight | AMLNXUSR, click SWitches tab and then switch the analog/digital jack option | 01:48 |
| Svenstaro | ubunubi, both, grub and installer are quite happy to install on single discs connected to either sata or ide, but if I installed onto my working discs it would kill my fakeraid | 01:48 |
| RonLut1 | __yy: it started after I deleted totem. all the media files can't be opened but all the other files like .doc or .ppt (OO) I can open.... for sure it's a problem of file association.... | 01:48 |
| st4nny | what?? | 01:48 |
| owen1 | can u see this? (testing) | 01:48 |
| crimsun | Victor```: look at /proc/sys/kernel/pid_max | 01:48 |

| |rt| | Dante123: the biggest thing that 64bit brings to the table is larger memory addressing....with only 1gb of ram I don't really see any benifits for you | 02:04 |

| ubunubi | dante123: in addition to |rt|'s comments...unless your running scientific calculation applications that need the extra memory (that you don't have) or specific 64bit software--you'll wind up having to run 32-bit applications on your 64bit OS anyway..so you'll gain nothing but extra work and a headache and broken flash -- for no benefit to yourself | 02:05 |

| extas | checkpoint yeah i have to change them afterwards.. but problem is that its my sister and she cant change things like that. but ubuntu mounts things auto, and i thought that i maybe could change how it mounts? | 02:16 |
| clsk | any ideas how to get rid of it? | 02:16 |
| RonLut1 | Lynet: (?) | 02:16 |
| checkpoint | extas did utry do it from R00t? | 02:17 |
| evilbooger | I want to double boot Mac and Ubuntu, which bootloader should I use? | 02:17 |
| checkpoint | login as R00t | 02:17 |
| bebin | where can i get smartlink 2801 modem driver | 02:17 |
| Lynet | RonLut1: Ah. That would be MicroSoft's almost-iso-mpeg4-compliant proprietary codec. You might need the win32/win64codec package to playback those properly. | 02:17 |
| extas | checkpoint change permissions? ofc i did. but she cant do it everytime she wants music from her external drive | 02:17 |
| xtknight | AMLNXUSR, with mplayer you can try "mplayer -ao alsa /path/to/file" to try and play your music | 02:18 |
| AlberTUX_ | anyone knows where to find packa ge 1.0.13-4ubuntu1 | 02:18 |
| AlberTUX_ | ? | 02:18 |
| checkpoint | evilbooger :grub? | 02:18 |
| evilbooger | yeah grub, or gag | 02:18 |
| AMLNXUSR | let me try that | 02:19 |
| checkpoint | i dont know gag | 02:19 |
| checkpoint | i know grub;p | 02:19 |
| jameslr | extas: set the umask? | 02:19 |
| evilbooger | oh | 02:19 |
| * DIL relaxes as he listens to norwegian radio and learns ubuntu/linux da life | 02:19 | |
| evilbooger | Is it graphical? | 02:19 |
| extas | jameslr ill try that | 02:19 |
| bebin | where can i get smartlink 2801 modem driver | 02:19 |
| checkpoint | hmm what u mean? | 02:19 |
| Bora | ohhhhhhh noooooooo: my system couldn't start after modifing "vessa" to "intel" i am running off the ubuntu cd... | 02:20 |
| evilbooger | Are there pictures or is it just black and white text? | 02:20 |
| Lynet | RonLut1: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Medibuntu#Adding%20the%20Repositories After adding the repository, install w32codecs (or w64codecs if you use 64bit ubuntu). | 02:20 |
| spoon_man | evilbooger, it's just a menu | 02:20 |
| evilbooger | k i'll check it out | 02:21 |
| Bora | what am i suppose to do now? how can i change the x11/xorg.conf back to vessa while running this live cd now? | 02:22 |
| jameslr | extas: I'd just set the umask to 022 in the ~/.bashrc. That should fix your problem if I understand your dilemma | 02:22 |
| Tea4all | Should I get an nvidia or an ati card for my ubuntu. AKA: which driver works better? | 02:22 |
| jameslr | Tea4all: nvidia | 02:22 |
| jameslr | ATI driver support is awful imo | 02:22 |
| Tea4all | Thought so. | 02:22 |
| ozzloy | Tea4all: have you considered an intel? | 02:22 |
| Tea4all | No. | 02:22 |
| ozzloy | they have awesome driver support | 02:23 |
| RonLut1 | Lynet: Thank you very much... searched it in google but didn't find... you found it.... I'll try it now | 02:23 |
| Tea4all | Any external cards over 512MB? | 02:23 |
| evilbooger | Should I get GRUB 2, it seems to still be in beta. | 02:23 |
| extas | jameslr is it possible to set a umask on a directory? because i only need it on ~/music/ | 02:23 |
| ozzloy | Tea4all: i don't know | 02:23 |
| jameslr | extas: not that I know of | 02:24 |
| Bora | how can i modify /media/disk/etc/X11/xorg.config while running live cd now? | 02:24 |
| jameslr | extas: if the directory is a separate drive maybe - I think you can set a umask mount option | 02:24 |
| jameslr | extas: in that case I'd just create a cron job to set the permissions recursively on the music directory and have it run every day or something | 02:25 |
| extas | jameslr yeah that would solve it | 02:26 |
| Bora | please guys i'm stuck here in the middle...................................... how can i modify /media/disk/etc/X11/xorg.config while running off the ubuntu cd? | 02:26 |
| RonLut1 | Lynet: it still happens :( | 02:26 |
| jameslr | Bora: gedit the file? | 02:26 |
| jameslr | Bora: is it mounted read only or something? | 02:27 |
| Bora | i tried but it says permision denied | 02:27 |
| jameslr | Bora: if so then try sudo mount -o remount,rw /media/disk | 02:27 |

| l0fls | hey all :) | 02:28 |
| IndyGunFreak | sharperguy: have you looked at getdeb.net? | 02:28 |
| jameslr | Bora: make sure you get out of the directory before you try that or you'll just get device busy | 02:28 |

| Leefmc | Question: Anyone know if Ubuntu on a Mac Pro needs anything special? I want to wipe windows/osx/bootcamp and install only Ubuntu. Are there any hurdles because its a "Mac"? | 02:28 |
| IndyGunFreak | sharperguy: i'vec seen old packages of some things there. | 02:28 |
| Lynet | RonLut1: Dang, not really sure what other advise to give you. MSMPEG4 v1/2/3 is unfortunately one of the few video codecs that Linux has trouble with. | 02:29 |
| RonLut1 | Lynet: ok NVM, thanks anyway for your help... | 02:29 |
| RonLut1 | :) | 02:29 |
| RonLut1 | BB | 02:29 |
| extas | jameslr just thinking.. everytime ubuntu mounts a drive automatically, i suppose there is this script running to set the mounts options somewhere. maybe i could change how it sets up the umask? | 02:30 |
| Bora | Could not save the file /media/disk/etc/X11/xorg.conf. | 02:30 |
| extas | jameslr to the drive that is being mounted | 02:30 |
| jameslr | extas: yeah, there are udev rules you can set I think, but I don't think setting the umask on the source drive will work. | 02:30 |
| mcquaid | i can burn nothing but coasters since upgrading to hardy recently. i can burn fine in xp, nothing is wrong with the burner. worked fine in gutsy | 02:31 |
| ubunubi | mcquaid: are you leaving the speed set tothe default//maximum? | 02:31 |
| sharperguy | IndyGunFreak: It definatly isnt there | 02:31 |
| mcquaid | i was wondering if it might be due to cd/dvd drives now listed as scsi devices. is there a way as a test to force the drive back to an ide like it was in gutsy | 02:31 |
| IndyGunFreak | sharperguy: well, there used to be a list on ubuntu.com of downloadable packages, for each distro, but i'm guesssing since 6.10 is no longer supported, that won't be much luck.. why not upgrade to 8.04? | 02:32 |
| === ShadowXP is now known as Guest6779 | ||
| mcquaid | ubunubi, yes max. which was fine in gutsy. also i even downloaded nero demo just to see and it wont even recognize a blank disc | 02:32 |
| SeaPhor | Bora, did you sudo it? | 02:32 |
| sharperguy | IndyGunFreak: I'm running the latest live cd i have, trying to fix my computer, i need wifi but cant get WPA | 02:32 |
| ubunubi | mcquaid: try setting it to the lowest speed just for a test burn | 02:33 |
| IndyGunFreak | sharperguy: well, just put yourself on WEP for a little bit to downloda a new cd? most routers switch pretty easy | 02:33 |
| mcquaid | hmm, at this point i'd like to know if there's a way to force it to be recognized as an ide drive (which it is) like it was in gutsy | 02:33 |
| ariqs | i can't believe that I have 300 megs of important security updates I'm supposed to download. I mean, this is just hte supposedly important stuff. Ridiculous. There are still people stuck with just dialup for friggin sakes | 02:33 |
| === LSD|Ninj1 is now known as LSD|Ninja | ||
| sharperguy | IndyGunFreak: Well to be honest i couldnt get it to connect with anything. The interface was so bad it just said ESSID and network password without letting me choose what type of password, or scan for hubs or anything | 02:34 |
| bobbob1016 | sharperguy, I seem to remember wpa being a pain in Edgy | 02:34 |
| bobbob1016 | sharperguy, Try typing wpasupplicant in a terminal, see if that gives you results. | 02:34 |
| Infinito- | it should be a crime, a human rights violation to still provide dial up internet connection to people... | 02:35 |
| Infinito- | :p | 02:35 |
| IndyGunFreak | sharperguy: hmm, i would try downloading the package for either Feisty, or Dapper, see if that works... http://packages.ubuntu.com/ | 02:35 |
| AlberTUX | anybody has upgraded ubuntu server from 8.04 to 8.04.1 ? | 02:35 |
| bobbob1016 | ariqs, I think that could be 8.04 to 8.04.1, not sure though | 02:35 |
| SeaPhor | Bora, if you didnt use gksudo gedit /etc/X11/xorg.conf then it wont let you save it to /media/disk/etc/X11/xorg.conf | 02:35 |

| SchighSchagh | hey guys. anyone know a good soundcard that's well supported in ubuntu? | 02:37 |
| Currrls | speaking from experience bobbob1016? | 02:37 |
| Infinito- | yeah, I know, there are several reasons... but still, inhuman :) | 02:37 |
| sharperguy | IndyGunFreak: well ill have to try them all, but more than likely they depend on library versions i dont have | 02:38 |
| AlberTUX | when are the ubuntu server 8.04.1 updates will be available to download? | 02:38 |

| bobbob1016 | Currrls, No, I can get DSL, I just deal with a lot of elderly people in a retirement home, and some choose dialup since it's cheaper, one lady pays $35 a year and complains when it goes down, and things take a while to download, even though I always explain it's dialup. They only had the choice for dialup or comcast until recently, and most didn't want to deal with comcast any more than they had to (the community had a c | 02:40 |

| bobbob1016 | FelixTheCat, I fell bad when I get calls from a guy who kept having issues with spyware on XP, I reinstalled XP twice, he thought it was the machine, and he bought a new one (without asking me first) since he thought it was the computer not his "habits", and he gave me the old one, 2.8ghz, 512 ddr ram, 80 or 160gig hd I forgot, it's a server now... | 02:45 |

| __yy_ | Additionaly, can someone explain this braindead restriction? | 02:57 |
| Lunks | __yy_: I believe you should use visudo to edit it | 02:57 |
| Lunks | Maybe this is somehow related, but I'm just guessing | 02:57 |
| __yy_ | Lunks: which I can't do, becuase I can't sudo | 02:57 |
| Lunks | __yy_: If you can't sudo, you couldn't chmod it or chown it | 02:58 |
| ubunubi | __yy_ :: choose the (recovery) option for your kernel in grub, and tell it to drop you to a command line and issue:: chmod 0440 /etc/sudoers -- then type :: reboot | 02:58 |

| kyncani | __yy_: boot the livecd, chmod 0440 from it | 02:59 |
| __yy_ | ubunubi: I'm really looking for a way that doesn't require a full power cycle | 02:59 |
| __yy_ | kyncani: see above | 02:59 |
| ubunubi | __yy_: don't think there is one | 02:59 |

| matthew__ | __yy_: its better to leave root disabled, so its harder to brute force | 03:00 |

| svenstaro | ubunubi, i think i just owned myself doing the conversion from mb to mib :) | 03:01 |
| matthew__ | __yy_: you don't mess with the sudoers file, you "need" to use visudo, it does some sanity checks and makes sure that sudo will take the sudoers fi;e | 03:01 |
| ubunubi | svenstaro: 1024*MB=MiB | 03:01 |
| Lunks | __yy_: I often try to break things myself too, but looks like you learn what you could from your experience: /etc/sudoers should remain 440 so it doesn't break | 03:01 |

| ubottu | XRandR 1.2 is the new method of running dual screens in !X. Information/HowTo here: http://wiki.debian.org/XStrikeForce/HowToRandR12 | 03:02 |
| svenstaro | ubunubi, isnt 1024*MB=GB ? | 03:02 |
| Lunks | Hmm I believe it works for resolutions, too. :) | 03:02 |
| ubunubi | svenstaro: GB would be MB/1024..and GiB would be MiB/1024 | 03:02 |
| matthew__ | how do I add plug-ins to tomboy notes? Like, where does the file go? | 03:03 |
| __yy_ | Lunks: indeed, what I am saying is that this is a horrible way for something to break | 03:04 |
| Lunks | __yy_: really awkward, yes | 03:04 |
| svenstaro | ubunubi, i cant believe it, i actually managed to resize the partition and not kill it using fdsik and ntfsresize | 03:04 |
| Lunks | __yy_: but you have to realise you changed it for no reason. :P | 03:04 |
| ubunubi | svenstaro: grats | 03:04 |
| __yy_ | matthew__: evidentially *I* mess with the sudoers file, and think this is a terrible little corner that you can easily mash yourself into | 03:04 |
| svenstaro | ubunubi, and my raid is fully functioning.. now for installing ubuntu and creating linux partitions | 03:04 |
| __yy_ | Lunks: I changed it to add sudo permissions to a user, I have never heard of visudo until just now | 03:04 |
| bsusa | thats for dual screens though | 03:05 |
| matthew__ | __yy_: I admit to avoiding using visudo too, its annoying to get it to use a graphical editor instead of vim, but its a real risk to run | 03:05 |
| Lunks | __yy_: I believe I could edit /etc/sudoers using nano | 03:06 |
| opus_two | I have kubuntu 8.04.. I was able to see NTFS drives in computer but now permisson denied and cant mount them | 03:06 |

| themime | are there any known issues with madwifi drivers and ubuntu? i can't figure out how to get wifi0 and ath0 to show up in iwconfig. it says once the drivers are loaded it should just appear, but it doesn't. i know it _can_ work because i used backtrack 3 live cd and it uses the madwifi drivers and it works perfectly. any ideas? | 03:17 |
| bsusa | spoonOman: its in the game not the desktop resolution. When i change it in the game it tries to change but freezes. | 03:17 |
| bsusa | spoonOman: the game runs fine on 640x480 but its a low reso | 03:18 |
| spoon_man | ah | 03:18 |

| prologic | heya all. I have built a simple web server based on BaseHTTPServer using Pyhtnon-2.5: I have a problem with the machine I'm running it on. On my Macbook Air (Intel Core 2 Duo 1.6Ghz 2G RAM) I get ~900 reqs/s. On an Ubuntu 8.04 machine (Python 2.5) AMD Athlon 64 3800+ Quad Code, 4G RAM, I get ~190 req/s. What's going on with my Ubuntu servers and why the performance drag ? | 03:23 |

| Flux-D | F4HT4W, I used that and it worked fine | 03:24 |
| tech0007 | F4HT4W: you need build-essential and devs (ie libglib2.0-dev) i think | 03:24 |

| Flux-D | Jack_Sparrow, I know I just wanted to compile my own version | 03:32 |
| Jack_Sparrow | mjburling a poorly written script for something other than ubuntu or possibly redhat? | 03:32 |
| mjburling | Hmm. | 03:32 |
| RAdams | anyone here running a dell latitude, any model? doing a test with alps trackpad and powernowd... the more models it can be tested against, the better the patch to powernowd can be. | 03:32 |
| mjburling | Possibly. | 03:32 |
| FlyingWV | Hello, I have a question regarding permissions, if anyone could help | 03:32 |
| RAdams | !ask | FlyingWV | 03:33 |
| ubottu | FlyingWV: Please don't ask to ask a question, ask the question (all on ONE line, so others can read and follow it easily). If anyone knows the answer they will most likely answer. :-) | 03:33 |
| Storrgie | roar. | 03:33 |
| Jack_Sparrow | redbox I have it on a coupe of Dels c610's and 640's | 03:33 |
| mjburling | Jack_Sparrow: It's definitely written for ubuntu, as far as its quality I cannot speak to that. | 03:33 |
| Jack_Sparrow | RAdams sorry typo.. | 03:33 |
| mjburling | But it's been used by many other people with success. | 03:33 |
| FlyingWV | Ah, sorry, question is this... I'm on a fresh install of Ubuntu 8.04, just installed irssi my IRC client of choice, but it's denying my permission to save the configuration file in my /home folder | 03:34 |
| RAdams | Jack_Sparrow: not sure if the problem covers those models, you would know better: ever lose trackpad sync and had it start jumping, fail to follow, or block input altogether, especially while under low loads? | 03:34 |
| soundcyst | is there an app like HandBrake for ubuntu? i want to set up a home media station, but it seems to make more sense financially to get a new ubuntu machine from dell than a used apple G4 | 03:35 |
| Jack_Sparrow | RAdams no but you can do a search for laptop testing ubuntu and find alot of info | 03:35 |
| th0r | soundcyst, and what does handbrake do? | 03:35 |
| ali_ | how do i updtae a prgoram to get the latest version | 03:35 |
| soundcyst | it's dvd-backup/ripping/encoding software | 03:36 |
| Mesiox | hey guys, do u know where i can get some wifi cracking tools? i have madwifi for my atheros ar5007eg wireless adapter.. any clue? | 03:36 |
| RAdams | Jack_Sparrow: I've got the problem solved, I think. but i've only tested it on this one dell, and I want to see if the fix is universal | 03:36 |
| bog | thanks , you're great! | 03:36 |
| th0r | soundcyst, you might look at brasero for burning, acidrip for ripping, and dvd95 for converting from 9gb to 5gb | 03:36 |
| ali_ | whyis amaya so messed up | 03:36 |
| Jack_Sparrow | mjburling what exactly are you trying to compile and do you have a link | 03:36 |
| soundcyst | oh geez, i'm retarded. handbrake is open source and linux instructions =P | 03:36 |
| xenoglossia | Hi! I'm having trouble formatting a 7.8 GB USB flash drive. I'm a real novice . . . I think there's some problem with a superblock . . . ? Anyways, I'm trying to make two partitions, but I can't make the second partition in the second half of the flash drive -- I can make the second partition in the first half of the USB drive, but that way, I can't use the other half of the flash drive. What am I doing wrong? :) | 03:37 |
| Jack_Sparrow | xenoglossia what are you using to format the flash | 03:37 |
| xenoglossia | gparted | 03:37 |
| matthew__ | Mesiox: aircrack-ng is in the reps, and coWPAtty can be used for breaking WPA using a dictionary. Remember that you should only use this on people who give you consent to audit their network | 03:37 |
| xenoglossia | and I've been trying fdisk, too | 03:37 |
| svenstaro | ubunubi, hopefully i did these bits of math right, sector to cylinder to megabyte to mebibyte conversion, that is :P i usually get bad math grades | 03:38 |
| leonedu | I think I've found a bug in pidgin. Sometimes, once I enter full of characters in the inputbox, it just crashes down. Does anyone have any ideas about this? | 03:38 |
| xenoglossia | sorry -- that was weird | 03:38 |
| ubunubi | svenstaro: you can generally double check your results with online unit calculators | 03:38 |
| tech0007 | xenoglossia: partition the flash using either gparted or fdisk, then format it using mkfs | 03:38 |
| Mesiox | matthew__: of coarse, but how do i get it? | 03:38 |
| svenstaro | ubunubi, yeah im using qalculate | 03:38 |
| matthew__ | Mesiox: aircrack-ng or coWPAtty ? | 03:39 |
| xenoglossia | tech0007: I've been trying that, but every time I format it, Ubuntu can't mount the second partition | 03:39 |
| Mesiox | aircrack-ng? | 03:39 |
| Mesiox | matthew__ can it crack any network? | 03:39 |
| matthew__ | Mesiox: not all, but many | 03:39 |
| Mesiox | matthew__: ahh i c | 03:39 |
| tech0007 | xenoglossia: what filesystem did u put into the flash, and what is the error when uformat | 03:40 |
| Jack_Sparrow | !piracy | 03:40 |
| ubottu | piracy discussion and other questionably legal practices are not welcome in the Ubuntu channels. Please take this discussion elsewhere or abstain from it altogether. This includes linking to pirated software, music and video. Also see !guidelines and !o4o | 03:40 |
| svenstaro | ubunubi, installing ubuntu like this is a major pain though :( | 03:40 |
| ubunubi | svenstaro: you were past the most major hurdle..just keep your fingers crossed | 03:40 |
| matthew__ | Jack_Sparrow: aircrack-ng is a security auditing tool, not illegal | 03:40 |
| matthew__ | Mesiox: If you are using it to break the law I can't help you | 03:41 |
| svenstaro | ubunubi, the guide tells me to install ubuntu manually just like i would install gentoo, should i follow that or should i go ahead and try to install the normal way? my paritions are all in place | 03:41 |
| Leechzilla | When I start an X server with Xvfb, I get this error - _XSERVTransMakeAllCOTSServerListeners: server already running | 03:41 |
| StevenX | how can i export a list of installed packages through the terminal | 03:41 |
| Jack_Sparrow | matthew__ I do understand and we need to be very careful about how much we support it. SOmeone involved in legal acitvities is unlikely to need basic help in how to use or set it up | 03:41 |
| FAHTAW | will this matter? Warning: The GTK (GUI) frontend will not be built. | 03:42 |
| ubunubi | svenstaro: you can do a regular install..but when it asks about partitions, tell it you want to do it manually...then tell it how you have them setup, so it doesn't do any partition-hanky-panky for you..then the rest of the install should be okay | 03:42 |
| Jack_Sparrow | !clone | 03:42 |
| ubottu | 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 && sudo apt-get dselect-upgrade » - See also !automate | 03:42 |
| ilowe | StevenX: dpkg --list | 03:42 |
| matthew__ | Jack_Sparrow: Very true Mesiox: I bet aircrack-ng has its own channel, go there | 03:42 |
| svenstaro | ubunubi, oky, will try, im just worried because the guide at https://help.ubuntu.com/community/FakeRaidHowto suggest a completely different appraoch | 03:42 |
| Jack_Sparrow | matthew__ thanks.. | 03:43 |
| StevenX | ilowe, how can i export that onto a file, instead of just seeing it come up in the terminal window | 03:43 |
| xenoglossia | Specifically, when I try to mount the flash drive (sudo mount -t vfat /dev/sdc2 /media/ubuntu), I get this: http://paste.ubuntu.com/24885/ | 03:43 |
| ilowe | StevenX: dpkg --list > myfile.txt | 03:43 |
| Jack_Sparrow | StevenX did you see the link I brought up on clone | 03:43 |
| StevenX | !clone | 03:44 |
| ubottu | 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 && sudo apt-get dselect-upgrade » - See also !automate | 03:44 |
| Jack_Sparrow | type dpkg --get-selections > ~/my-packages | 03:44 |
| StevenX | thanks. | 03:44 |
| RAdams | oh that's a nice tip | 03:44 |
| tech0007 | xenoglossia: did u 'sudo mkfs -t vfat /dev/sdc2' | 03:44 |
| ubunubi | svenstaro: i dont see anything majorly different. it looks like they're issue commands directly to the command line that the ubuntu installer will use -- just to have absolute control over the process -- should be okay if you're careful | 03:44 |
| matthew__ | tomboy notes doesn't seem to be finding my add-in, anyone know what I could be doing wrong? | 03:44 |
| xenoglossia | tech0007: yes | 03:44 |
| SchighSchagh | hey guys. anyone know a good soundcard that's well supported in ubuntu? | 03:45 |
| Storrgie | Could I get some help creating a raid5 array with mdadm? | 03:45 |
| ilowe | StevenX: depends what you want to use it for YMMV | 03:46 |
| ubunubi | svenstaro: just make sure NOT to reboot until you've done the manual grub build they suggest | 03:46 |
| xenoglossia | tech0007: nothing happened | 03:46 |
| Jack_Sparrow | !hardware > SchighSchagh | 03:46 |

| tech0007 | xenoglossia: paste the output of 'sudo fdisk -l /dev/sdc' | 03:46 |
| svenstaro | ubunubi, of course, also ill need to chroot in order to install the dmraid package i reckon | 03:46 |
| pan03243 | noob question how do i mount my windows ntfs drive in console? | 03:47 |
| ubunubi | pan03243: do you ahve the ntfs-3g package installed? | 03:47 |
| pan03243 | yes | 03:47 |
| Jack_Sparrow | StevenX Why not just install kubuntu-desktop and set the default where you login | 03:47 |
| pan03243 | im able to mount ntfs | 03:47 |
| xenoglossia | tech0007: http://paste.ubuntu.com/24888/ | 03:47 |
| svenstaro | ubunubi, its installing.. fingers crossed. | 03:47 |
| pan03243 | but wanting to do it through console | 03:47 |
| ubunubi | pan03243: sudo mount ntfs-3g /dev/XXX nls=iso8859-1 0 0 | 03:48 |
| xenoglossia | tech0007: I noticed something else weird -- gparted thinks that sdc1 is ext2 and that sdc1 is 3.05 GB used | 03:48 |
| ali_ | wat r some web development programs for ubuntu? | 03:48 |
| StevenX | Jack_Sparrow, it's not working as nice as I thought it would, so I'm gonan try this way. | 03:48 |
| xenoglossia | tech0007: sdc1 is empty | 03:48 |
| Jack_Sparrow | StevenX np | 03:49 |
| xenoglossia | tech0007: gparted shows sdc2 as filesystem "unknown" | 03:49 |
| tech0007 | xenoglossia: try redoing the partition and format using fdisk only | 03:49 |

| Leefmc | Question: Does Ubuntu have some type of remote desktop? I need to (across the internet) log into his machine to try and figure out his IPod troubles | 03:56 |
| o0onullzo0o | I meant ubuntu doesnot have mp3 default | 03:56 |
| Leefmc | tech0007: Does that contain anything for an IPod? | 03:56 |
| Leefmc | tech0007: Most of his troubles revolve around his ipod not working right. | 03:56 |
| Leefmc | tech0007: In Rhythmbox that is | 03:56 |
| o0onullzo0o | what are you going to do with the ipod | 03:56 |
| tech0007 | Leefmc: that package only enables multimedia playback capability | 03:56 |
| tech0007 | Leefmc: and other stuff as well | 03:57 |
| Leefmc | o0onullzo0o: He wants to put music on it heh.. Rhythmbox isn't letting him. Though i can't say for sure what the situation is, since i can't see it at the moment | 03:57 |

| Allothernickstak | trust me, being a noob with a life is funner than being a real hacker | 04:52 |
| Dev_N00B | I'll stick to Ubuntu | 04:52 |
| Itai-Michaelson | whats the name of the package that enable all the funky features 3d effects | 04:52 |
| nocive | Itai-Michaelson: compiz-fusion | 04:53 |
| alphabeta | so I'm trying to get my ubuntu install to dualboot with vista, but whenever I try to boot vista from grub the screen just sticks at "Starting up ..." | 04:53 |
| svenstaro | mneptok, the more technical stuff is a lot easier on gentoo because ubuntu has all those user-friendly stuff in place, for example, you have to shutdown the network manager before you can fully manually configure your network | 04:53 |
| nocive | flush vista down the toilet | 04:53 |
| komputes | Dev_N00B: I have some crazy glue remover for that y'know | 04:53 |
| ubunubi | svenstaro: you might have better luck using the "alternate" install ISO/CD...you'll get more refined access to a command line during the entire install process..if that's what you're wanting | 04:53 |
| nocive | xD | 04:53 |
| heart_ | vista makes me money | 04:53 |
| alphabeta | nocive: I'd love to but there is one little program I need it for. only once too :/ | 04:53 |
| titanix88 | mneptok: i wanna know where is it connected in the filesystem... so i can copy files using command line. | 04:53 |
| Itai-Michaelson | nocive, aptitude install compiz-fusion? | 04:53 |
| svenstaro | mneptok, have you ever done a ubuntu fakeraid installation for ich9r? you will try to tear out your eyes | 04:53 |
| alphabeta | svenstaro: Gentoo's user friendliness went all down the drain once they "fixed" portage by preventing circular dependencies | 04:54 |
| nocive | Itai-Michaelson: apt-get install compiz-fusion fusion-icon | 04:54 |
| computer | ber1, got it? | 04:54 |
| Allothernickstak | is there a chat room to learn more about linux in general than just ubuntu noob questions? | 04:54 |

| svenstaro | ubunubi, sadly thats a no-go i already tried :/ | 04:54 |
| ftehw | any idea how I can edit the variable "mount_point" for a hdd? | 04:54 |
| Itai-Michaelson | nocive, whats fusion-icon for? | 04:54 |
| svenstaro | alphabeta, so its now a bit like slackware? :P | 04:54 |
| unop | Allothernickstak, ##linux | 04:54 |
| ubunubi | Allothernickstak: you can try #linux | 04:54 |
| nocive | gentoo user friendliness? was there ever one? | 04:54 |
| Allothernickstak | ok thanks | 04:54 |
| RunKidRun | is this correct, it is illegal to downlaod an mp3 codec, but it is legal to download realplayer w/ those codecs on linux? | 04:54 |
| mneptok | svenstaro: thinking Gentoo is more configurable than Ubuntu is like thinking a falling out of a plane will teach you about gravity. | 04:54 |
| alphabeta | does anyone know how I could get vista to boot? vistas bootloader was overwritten by grub (obviously), and I'd like to keep grub as the master | 04:54 |
| Allothernickstak | ##linux | 04:54 |
| Allothernickstak | #linux | 04:55 |
| RunKidRun | is that right? | 04:55 |
| nocive | Itai-Michaelson: tray icon for managing your window decorators and window managers | 04:55 |
| Allothernickstak | which one | 04:55 |
| bogeyman | what is a godo mp3 player like winamp? | 04:55 |
| svenstaro | Dev_N00B, definately not, that is, if ubuntu live sees it correclty so will wubi | 04:55 |
| yoyoned | alphabeta: sometimes the ubunutu installer gets confused when there are more than one windows partition like if there is a restore partition. Look at the partition it's trying to boot. it may need changed | 04:55 |
| bogeyman | good* | 04:55 |
| Itai-Michaelson | nocive, thanks | 04:55 |
| nocive | Itai-Michaelson: easily switch between xfce/gnome and compiz-fusion | 04:55 |

| nocive | true | 04:55 |
| ftehw | bogeyman: mpd + gmpc. | 04:55 |

| ubunubi | alphabeta: there are a ton of guides for dual booting vista with ubuntu. www.google.com | 04:55 |
| mneptok | bogeyman: WinAmp, or iTunes? | 04:55 |
| svenstaro | mneptok, doesnt falling out of a plane teach you about gravity? just in a violent way, and you will have to come up with a solution quickly | 04:55 |
| alphabeta | yoyoned: It's the right one :/ hd(0,3) | 04:55 |
| mneptok | komputes: i'm always on the job :) | 04:55 |
| Dev_N00B | svenstaro, the netcell needs no drivers at all under any os, apparently | 04:55 |
| titanix88 | alphabeta: i tried once : vista->xp->ubuntu. It worked. | 04:55 |
| nocive | portage is the only good thing left about gentoo | 04:55 |

| mneptok | bogeyman: Amarok is not like WinAmp at *all* | 04:56 |
| bogeyman | i just want a player lol | 04:56 |
| yoyoned | alphabeta: that's the 4th partition, not a normal place for vista to live | 04:56 |
| svenstaro | Dev_N00B, thats good, then its a hardware controller.. a real one. go ahead and try it, you cant break anything with wubi | 04:56 |
| bogeyman | to play mp3's | 04:56 |
| nocive | amarok is just plain ugly xD | 04:56 |
| mneptok | bogeyman: Amarok is more like iTunes. for something like WinAmp, you want XMMS. | 04:56 |
| alphabeta | ubunubi: tried them all.. (not that they don't all say the same thing). Haven't found anyone with my problem.. seen BSOD's, and grub boot errors, but never just "Starting up ..." forever | 04:56 |
| XGas | No | 04:56 |
| nocive | bogeyman: try audacious or exaile | 04:56 |
| Allothernickstak | Is #Linux located in the Ubuntu server? | 04:56 |
| alphabeta | yoyoned: XP was installed first, is now gone. that may be the problem, but im not completely clueless :p | 04:56 |
| Allothernickstak | im an IRC noob as well. | 04:56 |
| XGas | Amarok is nothing like iTunes | 04:56 |
| Dev_N00B | svenstaro, it does Raid 0, Raid 1, Raid 10, Raid 0+1, and XOR Raid 3 | 04:57 |
| svenstaro | Allothernickstak, this isnt a ubuntu irc server, this is freenode, theres all kinds of linux channels on here | 04:57 |
| Dev_N00B | 34.99 on newegg. just search for "pny s-cure" | 04:57 |
| mib_btjb1m | anyone know how to switch back to ubuntu from edubuntu | 04:57 |
| Dev_N00B | Has 64 MB RAM, too :) | 04:57 |
| svenstaro | Dev_N00B, well then, go ahead, if its a REAL hardware controller it will work nicely | 04:57 |
| yoyoned | alphabeta: where is linux installed, does it boot. Also try hiding the partitions in fromt of vista if they are ntfs or fat | 04:57 |
| Allothernickstak | so how do i join one, btw this is probably the nicest chat admins i have met so respect to you gjuys . | 04:57 |

| drewzf | Ahh, okay, thanks XGas, when will they be releasing, is that known? | 05:00 |
| svenstaro | drewzf, sure, just download the nvidia drivers manually and let the installer compile modules for your kernel, its actually pretty easy and most of it is automated | 05:00 |
| XGas | drewzf: "Two weeks" | 05:01 |
| binar | hi | 05:01 |
| drewzf | svenstaro, Oh, I've done this before, what packages should I make sure to install before beginning this process? | 05:01 |
| mib_btjb1m | need some helping switching back from edubuntu when someone gets a moment | 05:01 |
| bogeyman | what about burning dvd video files? | 05:01 |
| soul_786 | does changing the email password associated with your registered nickname affect its standing in any way? | 05:01 |
| svenstaro | drewzf, build-essential should do the trick, also kernel-source and headers | 05:01 |
| bogeyman | i dont see that option there | 05:01 |
| drewzf | svenstaro, Thanks! | 05:01 |
| alphabeta | bazhang: I've searched pretty intensively for grub menu.lst vista entries, as far as I can tell I've done it correctly http://pastebin.com/m25611fef | 05:02 |

| done2 | svenstaro: sweet! is there any structured documentation on how ubuntu has setup hal/udev/etc.. ? | 05:04 |
| bogeyman | i need a burning program that allows me to burn dvd video files anyone can help? | 05:04 |
| svenstaro | done2, from which viewpoint? are you a dev and you want API documentation? | 05:05 |
| svenstaro | bogeyman, you mean you want to set up a video dvd from individual files? | 05:05 |
| waheela_glitched | is there any particular end-user software someone needs for Linux or that would constitute a killer app? | 05:05 |
| bogeyman | im talking when u rip dvds they go into .vob files | 05:05 |
| ftehw | curious: why are many apps installable via apt-get but not Add/Remove Apps? | 05:05 |
| bazhang | alphabeta, and you are still getting errors from that? is the vista located at (0,3)? | 05:05 |
| svenstaro | bogeyman, in that case its easy, tried k3b? | 05:06 |
| ftehw | examples - zsh, mpd | 05:06 |
| bogeyman | noep but will go get it now | 05:06 |
| waheela_glitched | nobody? | 05:06 |
| svenstaro | ftehw, because add/remove the meant to be the noob-version of synaptic, if you want a gui for packages use synaptic , system -> admin > synaptic | 05:06 |
| ber1 | i use frostwire to download mp3 files. it downloads them fine, and they work fine in outside players, but i am unable to play the files through frostwires built in player. any ideas? | 05:06 |
| alphabeta | bazhang: unfortunately that's the original :/ also unfortunate, I'm not getting errors but just the boot hangs at Starting up ... (which afaik is a message from grub, not vista). Yeah vista is located at (0,3) | 05:07 |
| XGas | waheela_glitched: Errrr, the kernel? | 05:07 |
| mib_btjb1m | anyone familiar with switching back to ubuntu from edubuntu? | 05:07 |
| svenstaro | waheela_glitched, for what purpose? | 05:07 |
| waheela_glitched | XGas, *raises eyebrow* end-user app? | 05:07 |
| XGas | :P | 05:07 |
| done2 | svenstaro... executive summary? | 05:07 |
| svenstaro | waheela_glitched, also theres no real killer app for linux because thats not the linux philosophy | 05:07 |
| ftehw | svenstaro: aha! thanks. | 05:07 |
| bogeyman | ahh nice svenstaro thanks | 05:08 |
| waheela_glitched | svenstaro, then it'll never leave niche. | 05:08 |
| waheela_glitched | svenstaro, I need a project. I'm bored. I think a true killer end-user app for Linux would be a fun and educational undertaking if nothing else. | 05:08 |
| ftehw | ubuntu install was super slick, but these n00b filters can get confusing. o.0 | 05:08 |
| svenstaro | done2 huh? I still dont really know what you want, sorry | 05:08 |
| bazhang | waheela_glitched, this is better conducted in offtopic | 05:08 |
| waheela_glitched | bazhang, yeah, hasn't been productive. So I'm here. oh well. | 05:08 |
| alphabeta | waheela_glitched: help out TASpring. I'm kind of addicted | 05:08 |
| done2 | svenstaro: I've got an incompatible scanner, but instead of taking it back and getting a new one, I would like to use this opportunity to understand how usb devices are detected, paired with drivers/modules and made to function. | 05:09 |
| svenstaro | waheela_glitched, well.. actually i like it a lot better because in windows you get all these bloated apps full with stuff theyre not supposed to do, in linux you get many apps that all do their thing well. for example im currently developing a 3d benchmark if you want to join in :P but yah its offtopic, sorry | 05:09 |
| waheela_glitched | svenstaro, bloatedness is avoided by reusing libraries. killer app has nothing to do with bloatedness. | 05:09 |
| waheela_glitched | use Mac OS X sometime and begin to know what you're talking about. | 05:10 |
| knoppix | hello | 05:10 |
| nocive | waheela_glitched: what is a killer app? | 05:10 |
| waheela_glitched | the best apps for Mac OS X that really make it shine are all under 50 mb | 05:10 |
| svenstaro | done2 in that case you might want to start low level, kernel level id say, but sorry, im not a driver dev | 05:10 |
| nocive | is there a killer app for windows? | 05:10 |
| waheela_glitched | nocive, quite a few. | 05:10 |
| nocive | explorer.exe? | 05:10 |
| waheela_glitched | nocive, something that at least a sizeable minority will want to use the OS just for the sake of using that app which is exclusive to it. | 05:10 |
| bazhang | is there an offtopic channel hereabouts? oh yeah-->#ubuntu-offtopic | 05:10 |
| nocive | oh... i know that one. I use windows just to use Adobe CS3 | 05:10 |

| waheela_glitched | nocive, Office2k7, Games, AutoCad, amongst other things. | 05:10 |
| nocive | is Adobe CS3 a killer app? | 05:11 |
| done2 | svenstaro: cool np thanks! | 05:11 |
| soul_786 | #ubuntu-offtopic | 05:11 |
| knoppix | sorry, I mean windows | 05:11 |
| alphabeta | office2k7 is a complete mess. worst UI ever | 05:11 |
| svenstaro | waheela_glitched, i meant functionality bloating, for example a fridge that also makes coffee, but sucky coffee, and also it doesnt get very cool | 05:11 |
| bazhang | last call for #ubuntu-offtopic :) | 05:11 |
| svenstaro | sorry :< | 05:11 |
| nocive | lol | 05:11 |
| knoppix | hello guys, can you please advise? | 05:12 |
| wweasel | Question guys: How can I get a list of all of the users who can login to a system, using the console (not the GUI User Manager). | 05:12 |
| Lunks | My mouse is kinda ghostly on Firefox; one minute it's there, suddenly it's gone | 05:12 |
| chalcedony | :) | 05:12 |
| bogeyman | anyone tried utorrent threw wine does it work well? | 05:13 |
| soul_786 | if you're installing windows on top and want to get rid of fedora...why not clean install? | 05:13 |
| chalcedony | knoppix: fedora9 IS linux.. | 05:13 |
| hyperair | does the ati catalyst driver support all ati cards or just some? | 05:13 |
| svenstaro | Lunks, which graphics card? is compiz on? | 05:13 |
| knoppix | sorry, I mean Windows | 05:13 |
| svenstaro | bogeyman, yes works just fine | 05:13 |
| soul_786 | yeah knoppix: why not clean instlal windows? | 05:13 |
| soul_786 | install* | 05:13 |
| chalcedony | SoUkSoU: windows MUST be installed FIRST.. it hates to be anywhere else | 05:13 |
| knoppix | when I instert the windows CD, it doesn't boot | 05:13 |
| Lunks | svenstaro: nvidia, yep it's on | 05:13 |
| bogeyman | good bc i love utorrent lol | 05:13 |
| nocive | wweasel: cat /etc/passwd | awk -F: '{ print $1 }' -> that will give u all users on your system | 05:13 |
| knoppix | something about GRUB | 05:13 |
| soul_786 | go to the boot menu or identify the boot sequencein bios | 05:13 |
| svenstaro | hyperair, just some, not the very old ones, you have to use the open driver for those | 05:13 |
| soul_786 | go into the bios, set your boot sequence to read cd first possibly? | 05:14 |
| svenstaro | bogeyman, there are very nice torrent apps for linux | 05:14 |
| svenstaro | Lunks, try to deactivate it then, compiz i mean | 05:14 |
| bogeyman | ye but y learn a new one plus i need to load all my torrents back up and they are in utorrent :( | 05:14 |
| nocive | bogeyman: there are tutorials available on how to get utorrent running with wine | 05:14 |
| bogeyman | im sure just install and run right? | 05:14 |
| Lunks | svenstaro: still not working | 05:14 |
| svenstaro | Lunks, is it for all sites? | 05:15 |
| Utalcn2me | knoppix, at bootup, it aught to ask you to 'hit key to boot from cd rom' for just a quick moment | 05:15 |
| Lunks | svenstaro: yep | 05:15 |
| knoppix | what happens is that when I try to boot from the windows CD, it tells me to "press any key to boot from CD" and I do. but then once it starts checking for hardware I can't seem to get to the pont where I can format the harddrives | 05:15 |
| svenstaro | bogeyman, in that case have fun using utorrent :) just saying there are native alternatives | 05:15 |
| wweasel | nocive: Thanks! | 05:15 |
| soul_786 | yes, changing the boot sequence just tells the system look to boot FIRST from the cd drives rather than HD thus coming before the GRUB; you wont have to deal with it then | 05:15 |
| nocive | bogeyman: http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=191161 haven't tried it myself, but give it a shot | 05:15 |
| svenstaro | Lunks, how clean is your ubuntu install? do you get the same problem on live? | 05:15 |
| itai-michaelson | i have network windows shares automounted on loggon in hardy. it all works well except itasks me for the keyring passwort at boot-up , this will not go well with my client-is there a way to automate the keyring? | 05:15 |
| soul_786 | have you deleted partitions you with to destroy first? | 05:16 |
| soul_786 | wish* | 05:16 |
| nocive | wweasel: np :) | 05:16 |
| Lunks | svenstaro: probably I won't as it just started like this today, and I've been using Hardy for a long time now | 05:16 |
| knoppix | no i haven't deleted partitions | 05:16 |
| soul_786 | if you delete the partitions first | 05:16 |
| soul_786 | you'll be left with an empty space which can then be formatted | 05:16 |
| knoppix | from what i haave been reading on forums...it have to format the harddrive | 05:17 |
| svenstaro | Lunks, i wasnt suggesting to clean your system, just curious how old it was, anyway, i reckon you dont get the issue on live then. Tried a new firefox profile? | 05:17 |
| knoppix | but how do i format the harddrive fom the Fedora console..I'm a noob in linux? | 05:17 |
| nocive | wweasel: not all users on that list can login | 05:17 |
| Lunks | svenstaro: Nop | 05:17 |
| svenstaro | Lunks, you might wanna try that to sort out if its a plugin / profile issue | 05:17 |
| wweasel | nocive: Yeah, that's ok. I figured it out :) | 05:17 |
| bazhang | knoppix, why not get the gparted livecd for that | 05:18 |
| wweasel | nocive: Thanks for your help! | 05:18 |
| nocive | ok :) | 05:18 |
| soul_786 | im just as noob to be completely honest... i jsut made the linux switch few days ago but have been using windows for years now | 05:18 |
| svenstaro | knoppix, you can use parted, its quite cool from the command line | 05:18 |
| knoppix | baxhang I have the CD, but dont know how to use it | 05:18 |
| itai-michaelson | knoppix, can you install gparted in fedora? should be "yum install gparted" | 05:18 |
| Lunks | svenstaro: I will, but it seems like it shouldn't be as I haven't added any plugins today, so I thought it could be something more specific | 05:18 |
| bazhang | knoppix, boot from it (set in bios to look for cd first) | 05:18 |
| Utalcn2me | knoppix, you should be able to go into recovery on the wincd if you just want to format the win partition | 05:18 |
| knoppix | there is no windows partitions...i set the entire HD for Linux | 05:19 |
| svenstaro | Lunks, might be that your profile just corrupted somehow, just try to find out if its profile or firefoy related | 05:19 |
| knoppix | when I boot from Parted a see a long list of things,..what do I select? | 05:19 |
| Utalcn2me | knoppix, sorry, i dont understand what your doing | 05:19 |
| knoppix | I am Fedora installed on My comp, and the entire HD is fully for Fedora.. there is not windows partition | 05:20 |
| bazhang | knoppix, you want to dual boot fedora 9 and ubuntu? | 05:20 |
| knoppix | no no...i want to install widnows | 05:21 |
| === walla is now known as Guest82762 | ||
| knoppix | get rid of Fedora and install windows | 05:21 |
| bazhang | knoppix, then install ubuntu after that? | 05:21 |
| mkquist | knoppix - easier to install windows first | 05:21 |
| Guest82762 | is it possible to host my own website on hardy? free of charge | 05:21 |
| nocive | i think he just wants to remove all the linux partitions windows can't recognize.. | 05:21 |
| __yy | Guest82762: it's possible to do that with any os | 05:22 |
| knoppix | yea..have a dual boot of widnows and ubuntu | 05:22 |
| bazhang | wonders how this relate to ubuntu if that is so | 05:22 |
| svenstaro | Guest82762, sure, no problem, see the wiki for LAMP | 05:22 |
| coulix | hello i m using gnome ppp for a modem , im connected with everything except firefox with does not seem to detect the connection | 05:22 |
| svenstaro | !lamp|Guest82762 | 05:22 |
| ubottu | Guest82762: LAMP is an acronym for Linux-Apache-MySQL-PHP. However, the term is often used for setups using alternative but different software, such as Perl or Python instead of PHP, and Postgres instead of MySQL. For help with setting up LAMP on Ubuntu, see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/ApacheMySQLPHP - See also the Server CD installation process (different in Edgy+) | 05:22 |
| bazhang | knoppix, you can use the gparted livecd for that | 05:22 |
| Utalcn2me | knoppix, i think it would be the best if you removed all partitions and make separate partitiions, maybe a separate home partition for a home partition you could share between the two | 05:22 |
| Guest82762 | i don't have to have the server edition installed to start running lamp? | 05:22 |
| keta | how do i see what my hard drives are (sda1, sdb2, etc) | 05:22 |
| bazhang | Guest82762, no | 05:23 |
| knoppix | how do I get rid of the partitions? | 05:23 |
| myr | hey does anyone know if 8.04.1 has been released and where it is available for download? | 05:23 |
| nocive | *sigh* | 05:23 |
| tj83 | keta sudo fdisk -l | 05:23 |
| nocive | myr, www.ubuntu.org | 05:23 |
| svenstaro | myr, 8.04.1 is mainly for wubi | 05:23 |
| bazhang | knoppix, you need to pay attention :) | 05:24 |
| knoppix | i'm trying | 05:24 |
| svenstaro | knoppix, are you using parted, fdisk, or gparted? | 05:24 |
| myr | svenstaro, i thought 8.04.1 was a cumulative bug fix for 8.04 | 05:24 |
| knoppix | I have gparted Live CD | 05:24 |
| keta | tj83: thanks | 05:24 |
| bazhang | knoppix, then boot into it | 05:24 |
| svenstaro | myr, yeah of course some packages got updated | 05:24 |
| knoppix | when I boot into it there is a long list of things..what do I select? | 05:24 |
| svenstaro | knoppix, you mean the language settings? | 05:25 |
| svenstaro | knoppix, ah wait, you mean grub, just press return | 05:25 |
| bazhang | knoppix, could you be a bit more precise? ie long list of things | 05:25 |
| svenstaro | bazhang, he means grub i reckon | 05:25 |
| bazhang | aha grub | 05:25 |
| knoppix | yes..it says things like Autoconfiguration | 05:25 |
| === c is now known as Charitwo | ||
| knoppix | in paranthesis | 05:25 |
| svenstaro | knoppix, alright, return will do the trick | 05:25 |
| knoppix | ok | 05:26 |
| knoppix | basically I want to get to command line? | 05:26 |
| dzhosh | does anyone know of a good guide for setting up rtgui for someone who has no familiarity with apache? | 05:26 |
| svenstaro | knoppix, nope, you will get GUI for everything | 05:26 |
| keta | when adding a device to fstab, whats the 'proc' column? | 05:26 |
| knoppix | ok and how do i Proceede? | 05:27 |
| svenstaro | dzhosh, you will be doing yourself a huge favor by getting used to apache, the gui tools arent really all that helpful | 05:27 |
| svenstaro | knoppix, you see the gui in front of you now? or the command line? | 05:27 |
| svenstaro | keta, dont screw with that, that ones for the proc files system | 05:27 |
| knoppix | gui | 05:27 |
| jb0t | hello. i have an install of edgy, and im getting 404's when i try to perform apt-get update. ive tried numerous variations of sources with no success. | 05:28 |
| svenstaro | knoppix, goodie, basically everything should be pretty obvious now, you can just select which partitions you want to delete now and then resize the remaining partitions to fit in | 05:28 |
| dzhosh | svenstaro: all i would need is for it to work well with rtgui, i wont actually need it for anything else... do you still think that is the case? | 05:28 |
| jb0t | edgy is still supported afaik. ideas? | 05:28 |
| knoppix | i'll try it..i'll be back with the results..i'm using koppix to boot cuz i messed things up | 05:29 |
| svenstaro | dzhosh, ah now i get what you want, you simply want to run a web application on apache? | 05:29 |
| dzhosh | svenstaro: i am trying to meet the requirements listed here: http://code.google.com/p/rtgui/ | 05:29 |
| svenstaro | jb0t is it? | 05:29 |
| jb0t | svenstaro: yes, according to wikipedia | 05:29 |
| Jester45 | jb0t: i think it is 7.10 + 18 months | 05:30 |
| svenstaro | dzhosh, for a torrent interface i can highly recommend torrentflux-br4t | 05:30 |
| Jester45 | jb0t: please pastebin your sources.list | 05:30 |
| Jester45 | !pastebin > jb0t | 05:30 |

| soul_786 | What good web authoring tools are there for website creation and the such? Ive got eclipse for java which works well for me but in terms of actually making some webpages adn the such? | 05:30 |
| bogeyman | does ubuntu have something auto that changes back the manual dns servers that i need to set | 05:30 |
| bazhang | jb0t, edgy is eol | 05:30 |
| bogeyman | bc like every 10 mins i get them reset | 05:31 |
| jb0t | http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ubuntu_Linux#Release_History | 05:31 |
| dzhosh | svenstaro: are you sure you spelled that right? there are only three google hits and no such package in the repository | 05:31 |
| Jester45 | dzhosh: i recomment rtorrent if you want want a webui | 05:31 |
| ubunubi | if i pop out my current video card and install a different one, is ubuntu going to freak out and ruin my delicate crafted compizfusion/wow+wine setup? | 05:31 |
| welkin | can any one tell me if there is any possibilities for reading a mail or chating in terminal??? | 05:31 |
| dzhosh | Jester45: rtgui, which is what i want to set up, is the main webui for rtorrent, but requires a good amount of configuration | 05:31 |

| itai-michaelson | bazhang, thanks | 05:33 |
| Jester45 | jb0t: yep you need to upgrade | 05:33 |
| bazhang | np | 05:33 |
| jb0t | ive tried upgrading before.. it did not go well | 05:33 |
| soul_786 | those are taiwan and hong kong servers what did you expect :P | 05:33 |
| Jester45 | thunar_: that will work if you have the correct repos | 05:33 |
| jb0t | by the time i made it to hardy, i had no consoles | 05:33 |
| svenstaro | thunar_, you dont need to, youre already upgraded | 05:33 |
| thunar_ | ok, thanks | 05:33 |
| myr | bogeyman, you can edit /etc/dhcp3/dhclient.conf | 05:33 |
| dzhosh | svenstaro: hmm, this only supports the original bittorrent client, bittornado, transmissoin, and azureus | 05:33 |
| svenstaro | bogeyman, if you need custom config kill networkmanager | 05:33 |
| bogeyman | ok what should i edit lol | 05:33 |
| myr | bogeyman, add a line like prepend domain-name-servers 208.67.222.222,208.67.220.220; | 05:33 |
| soul_786 | website creation software? | 05:33 |
| Jester45 | jb0t: then dont move up to hardy just go up 1 or 2 releases | 05:33 |
| jb0t | i ended up doing a fresh install. that machine was easy.. this one however is full of crap, and will be nightmare | 05:33 |
| svenstaro | dzhosh, do you really really need rtorrent? | 05:34 |
| bazhang | soul_786, those are on freenode | 05:34 |
| nocive | soul_786: don't really know a good one for linux | 05:34 |
| dzhosh | svenstaro: well, i'll be seeding over 200 torrents, i figured it would be the most stable | 05:34 |

| Dezine | Is there anyway to get flash to stop crashing Firefox? | 05:35 |
| storm-zen | I can't get a specific DVD to play in gutsy. I was thinking about looking for new firmware for the DVD player. How do I see what DVD hardware I have? | 05:35 |
| svenstaro | dzhosh, torrentflux is quite good at that, so your call | 05:35 |
| Jester45 | Dezine: use a diffrent flash.. | 05:35 |
| bazhang | Dezine, and still use it? or block it | 05:35 |
| Jester45 | svenstaro: that going into offtopic | 05:35 |
| bazhang | storm-zen, which dvd | 05:35 |
| repsol_ | Do I need to set up a nfs client in ubuntu? | 05:36 |
| storm-zen | A touchstone movie, bazhang. | 05:36 |
| bazhang | storm-zen, nt2? | 05:36 |
| svenstaro | repsol_, usually you can just mount the nfs shares like you would any other | 05:36 |
| repsol_ | Is there a seperate package I need? | 05:36 |
| repsol_ | Hmm | 05:36 |
| storm-zen | bazhang: nt2? what? | 05:36 |
| m1r | hello | 05:36 |
| raziel420 | I have a very strange issue, when using any video program, flash applet, java applet, or wine program I loose all sound and get really laggy after exactly 12 minutes, if i qyuit and restart it's fine, for 12 more minutes... any ideas on where to find a fix? | 05:37 |
| repsol_ | I get wrong fs or something like that | 05:37 |
| bazhang | never mind | 05:37 |
| soul_786 | how do i remove pidgin? i dont think ill ever need it... is it just in add/remove under the applications tab? | 05:37 |
| myr | soul_786, yep | 05:37 |
| svenstaro | soul_786, yes it is, but you should think about it, pidgin owns :) | 05:37 |
| bogeyman | hmm | 05:38 |
| ubunubi | what's the difference in uninstall/removing from synaptis and add/remove?? | 05:38 |
| soul_786 | lol im using xchat for irc...couldnt get it working otherwise for the life of me on pidgin | 05:38 |
| soul_786 | :P | 05:38 |
| ubunubi | synaptic* | 05:38 |
| nocive | none :D | 05:38 |
| Bora | is there any voice chatting for ubuntu? i tried many but none works on yahoo | 05:38 |
| svenstaro | ubunubi, nothing, just a different interface | 05:38 |
| svenstaro | Bora, teamspeak, ventrilo work just fine with wine, apart from that skype runs natively | 05:38 |
| Fa | bora voiceandvideochat.com works | 05:38 |
| raziel420 | add/remove programs has some issues with installing some things because it's not quite as good at dependancy resolving, but otherwise, they are different only in looks | 05:39 |
| storm-zen | soul_786: Pidgin can be used for IRC, Yahoo, MSN, Jabber, Google... etc... etc... | 05:39 |
| storm-zen | ( and all at the same time. ) | 05:39 |
| welkin | can any one tell me if there is any possibilities for reading a mail or chating in terminal??? | 05:39 |
| Bora | svenstaro: not much into wine.... skype is good but there is no list of rooms to join | 05:39 |
| soul_786 | yeah I know about all the pidgin features but the laptop this is running on is quite old a t23 and i already have a desktop pc so its not much of a worry to me | 05:40 |
| storm-zen | Ok. This is not that hard of a question. What is the command to list the model of my DVD player? | 05:40 |
| myr | welkin, chatting on irc? | 05:40 |
| nocive | welkin: yes, for both | 05:40 |
| storm-zen | soul_786: try sudo apt-get remove pidgin | 05:40 |
| soul_786 | this laptop is just more experimentation and easing into linux environments | 05:40 |
| welkin | nocive>>> how to do that??? | 05:40 |
| svenstaro | Bora, actually there is, you got channels, but if youre looking for a server-client solution just use TS2/Ventrilo, its really easy, just install wine and double click the setup :D | 05:40 |
| nocive | welkin: irc on command line, just install irssi | 05:41 |
| welkin | myr>> no its like doing everything in terminal | 05:41 |
| bazhang | lshw storm-zen | 05:41 |
| m1r | svenstaro: TS2 have its package on ubuntu | 05:41 |
| nocive | welkin: as for email on the command line, there are numerous command line email clients | 05:41 |
| storm-zen | thanks, bazhang. That was too obvious... | 05:41 |
| svenstaro | mlr, it does? o_O okay | 05:41 |
| soul_786 | Okay well i've got to be off, nice talking and thanks for the help! | 05:41 |
| tannji | Is there anyone that could walk me though trouble-shooting my sound setup? (HDA, ALC888) | 05:41 |
| welkin | nocive>>>so do i need to do apt-get install irssi?? | 05:41 |
| bazhang | tannji, hda intel? | 05:42 |
| Utalcn2me | welkin, mutt is a fine terminal emailer | 05:42 |
| nocive | welkin: yes, if you want an irc command line client | 05:42 |
| Bora | svenstaro: i do have skype installed without the wine... i wish there would be a solution to list skype rooms without the need of wine | 05:42 |
| tannji | Baz: Realtek ALC888 | 05:42 |
| welkin | nocive>>>k... ill try and tel u... | 05:42 |
| svenstaro | Bora, aaah wait you got that wrong, you dont need wine to see the skype cahnnels | 05:42 |
| bazhang | tannji, what have you tried so far? | 05:43 |
| welkin | utalcn2me>>> can i chat in that?? | 05:43 |
| svenstaro | Bora, next, you need wine for ventrilo but not for teamspeak | 05:43 |
| esac | am i missing something from nautilus ? I cant browse to fonts:/// and when i try to connect to a bluetooth device it says it cannot open obex://[mac address] | 05:43 |
| tannji | Baz: I have tried to muddle through installing sound driver and ALSA | 05:43 |
| Utalcn2me | welkin, chat in your email client??? no | 05:43 |
| bazhang | tannji, no sound at all? | 05:44 |
| tannji | None, other than system beep | 05:44 |
| nocive | welkin: if you also want an email command line client, try pine > apt-get install alpine | 05:44 |

| svenstaro | Bora, its the only windows skype function i can see that allows channel-like behaivor | 05:51 |
| sx66|eee | I need | 05:52 |
| Jester45 | ubunubi: so your saying the gui is driving and cli is walking? well in that case cli is healthier but.. it is often faster to | 05:52 |
| Sylphid | can someone tell me how i can initiate X11 forwarding in the reverse direction ... ie starting the X client localy and send it to the remote Xserver | 05:52 |
| ubunubi | Jester45: i said long distances :P in that case walker is never fast..unless you are a world record breaking speed walker | 05:52 |
| ng0L | svenstaro: Do you know my browser is always interrupted by connection while it loading? | 05:53 |

| svenstaro | Bora, actually id recommend just using teamspeak and then you'd find a public team speak server | 05:54 |

| caluchins | hi there! | 05:54 |
| myr | fyi: 8.04.1 is what is automatically downloaded now from ubuntu.com | 05:54 |
| Utalcn2me | Sylphid, i would like to learn howto do that too. i think you have to open a display value different from your servers, like display 0:1 | 05:54 |
| Bora | svenstaro: i hope teamspeak does not require wine.. right? | 05:55 |
| svenstaro | Bora, it doesnt, its in your repo | 05:55 |
| heart_ | hello | 05:55 |
| Jester45 | ubunubi: cli web browsing does suck for the most part but a lot of other things are easier in cli than gui once you learn it. yes new users like the gui and it is good for things but cli also has its place and shouldnt be removed | 05:55 |

| caluchins | does anybody knows if exist a distro like ubutu but designed for virtualization? | 05:55 |
| Jester45 | welcome back AMLNXUSR | 05:55 |
| storm-zen | caluchins: In what respect? | 05:56 |
| svenstaro | Bora, sudo apt-get install teamspeak-client should do the trick | 05:56 |
| Jester45 | caluchins whats wrong with ubuntu and what kind of virtualization | 05:56 |
| Sylphid | Utalcn2me: I know you can start an Xclient on the remote server via ssh and send it to the local Xserver using the -Y option but i dont know how to initiate it from the remote end | 05:56 |
| xtknight | caluchins, ubuntu has a xen kernel | 05:57 |
| WillShears | As in a server hosting several virtual servers? | 05:57 |
| bazhang | caluchins, just get an appliance from vmware site | 05:57 |
| Bora | svenstaro: is teamspeak also available for windows users? or just for ubuntu... and can it be used to login to yahoo or it's stand alone chat | 05:57 |
| Jester45 | caluchins: if your talking about a distro to use inside of the virtual machine than you should have a look at !jeos | 05:57 |
| xtknight | Bora, teamspeak can be used for windows | 05:57 |
| Jester45 | !jeos | 05:57 |
| ubottu | JeOS (pronounced "Juice") is Just enough Operating System. It is an efficient variant of the Ubuntu Server operating system, configured specifically for virtual appliances. See http://www.ubuntu.com/products/whatisubuntu/serveredition/jeos for more information. | 05:57 |
| Jester45 | Bora: windows can use it but its stand alone chat | 05:58 |
| Bora | xtknight: with no problem on ubuntu uses voice chat in public rooms right? | 05:58 |
| svenstaro | Bora, i dont know where the yahoo fits in there but it works well on windows | 05:58 |
| caluchins | well , the idea is the easy administration using ubuntu as server | 05:58 |
| xtknight | Bora, i am not sure if ubuntu can work with teamspeak flawlessly. i would assume so. skype works wel for me. | 05:58 |
| orifice | how can I view users in a channel on xchat ? | 05:58 |
| caluchins | is well tested xen in ubuntu? | 05:58 |
| orifice | as a sidebar, like IRC ? | 05:58 |
| Utalcn2me | Sylphid, yea, i would like to be able to use a thin client to log into and run programs on my main server through xorg, that would be cool | 05:58 |
| ubunubi | xtknight: how do i check what driver(s) my hardware is using? | 05:58 |
| Jester45 | svenstaro: i think its wondering if TS is like pidgin... multiprotcal | 05:58 |
| xtknight | ubunubi, lshw can tell you under configuration= for a hardware entry | 05:59 |
| Sylphid | can someone tell me how i can initiate X11 forwarding in the reverse direction ... ie starting the X client locally and send it to the remote Xserver | 05:59 |
| xtknight | ubunubi, try sudo lshw | less | 05:59 |
| pan034234 | what is mod 4 button on keyboard? | 05:59 |
| Bora | xtknight: skype works fine for me too, but only problem in listing public rooms... | 05:59 |
| svenstaro | Jester45, ahh yeah, like a messenger :S | 05:59 |
| repsol_ | /home/repsol 192.168.1/255.255.255.0(rw) | 05:59 |
| xtknight | Bora, teamspeak should work on ubuntu, i think, or ventrilo...whichever one support slinux | 05:59 |
| repsol_ | does that look right for /etc/exports | 05:59 |
| svenstaro | Bora, whats the skype windows feature called that you would like to use? i mean the exact term | 06:00 |
| Jester45 | Sylphid: i dont think you can do that without loging into the remote machine and from there loging back into the local machine | 06:00 |
| xtknight | Sylphid, is "reverse forwarding" what you want? i think ssh has that | 06:00 |
| xtknight | ssh -X somethin somethin | 06:00 |
| xaelius | hi hi.... | 06:00 |
| Jester45 | Sylphid: i stand corrected then | 06:00 |
| Jester45 | hello xaelius | 06:01 |
| Bora | svenstaro: i have never used it on windows... because yahoo always took over.. but my relatives told me that it actually lists public rooms to join and voice chat | 06:01 |
| xaelius | how are ya? | 06:01 |
| svenstaro | Sylphid, well.. in both cases you have two x11 servers so its not reverse actually, its just that youre sending your signals, should work well with x11 forwarding and ssh tunnelling | 06:01 |
| nocive | that's normal forwarding... | 06:01 |

| nicholashubbard | hey guys, I am trying to remotely install ubuntu on a remote server. For remotely installing centos I know I can do this: kernel /vmlinuz.cent.pxe vnc vncpassword=AgOodPasswrdHere headless ip=192.168.1.100 netmask=255.255.255.0 gateway=192.168.1.1 \ | 06:01 |
| nicholashubbard | dns=192.168.1.1 hostname=station1.example.com ksdevice=eth0 method=http://mirror.centos.org/centos/5/os/i386/ \ | 06:01 |
| nicholashubbard | is there anything equivalent for Ubuntu. I really need to try to get this working without getting my datacenter involved. | 06:01 |
| xtknight | AMLNXUSR, well it's weird.. someone had that problem yesterday | 06:02 |
| bogeyman | does anyone here use newsgroups if so what program can i use? | 06:02 |
| svenstaro | Bora, okay then i get it, but waht exactly is it that you want to accomplish? just talk to random people on the net? | 06:02 |
| xtknight | bogeyman, thunderbird i believe | 06:02 |
| svenstaro | bogeyman, i use thunderbird myself for that | 06:02 |
| bogeyman | can it load nzb files? | 06:02 |
| xaelius | when someones got a min...i have a hopefully quick question | 06:02 |
| Jester45 | xaelius: good welcome to #ubuntu | 06:02 |
| AMLNXUSR | u-think-a-restart-might-fix-it? | 06:02 |
| svenstaro | nicholashubbard, why do you want an alternative to ubuntu? | 06:02 |
| xtknight | !install | nicholashubbard | 06:02 |
| ubottu | nicholashubbard: Ubuntu can be installed in a lot of ways. Please see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Installation for documentation. Problems during install? See https://wiki.ubuntu.com/CommonProblemsInstall. Don't want to use a CD? Try http://tinyurl.com/3exghs - See also !automate | 06:02 |
| Sylphid | svenstaro: problem is that i cant access the remote server via ssh as it is behind NAT | 06:02 |
| Bora | svenstaro: yes.. like here, but using voice also | 06:02 |
| xtknight | !netboot | nicholashubbard | 06:02 |

| Jester45 | AMLNXUSR: maybe but that looks weird | 06:02 |
| svenstaro | !ask|xaelius | 06:03 |
| ubottu | xaelius: Please don't ask to ask a question, ask the question (all on ONE line, so others can read and follow it easily). If anyone knows the answer they will most likely answer. :-) | 06:03 |
| AMLNXUSR | ALso-what-app-would-u-recommend-for-burning-isos? | 06:03 |
| xtknight | AMLNXUSR, brasero | 06:03 |
| ubunubi | AMLNXUSR: a logout possibly ...earlier my shift/capslock all stopped for no reason, logout fixed it fine | 06:03 |
| xaelius | arent there some config/control applets for apache? | 06:03 |
| svenstaro | Sylphid, you mean, NO access at all? not a single port? | 06:03 |
| nicholashubbard | svenstaro: not trying to move to something else, I want to move to ubuntu | 06:03 |
| svenstaro | Bora, to friends or just random people? | 06:03 |
| xtknight | Sylphid, use hamachi VPN | 06:03 |
| AMLNXUSR | kk-thnx-guys | 06:03 |
| xtknight | Sylphid, (practically)zero configuration vpn | 06:03 |
| repsol_ | my server is denying my request for nfs any thoughts? | 06:03 |
| svenstaro | repsol_, did you export the folders in /etc/exports? | 06:04 |
| repsol_ | yes | 06:04 |
| Bora | svenstaro: random ppl, friends, and individual... now it includes individual | 06:04 |
| Sylphid | svenstaro: nope .... trying to help a friend out remotely but since hes behind NAT i cant get to him...was hoping he could forward a terminal to me | 06:04 |
| xtknight | repsol_, maybe try sudo /etc/init.d/nfsd reload && sudo /etc/init.d/nfsd restart | 06:04 |
| Sylphid | svenstaro: but im not sure how to initiate it | 06:04 |
| nicholashubbard | i have already looked over the netboot stuff that is how I found i could do the initrd and linux kernel from grub likeI can for other OS's. But I'm trying to see what paramaters I can pass to it | 06:04 |
| repsol_ | xtknight, on the server | 06:04 |
| xtknight | repsol_, yes | 06:05 |
| pan034234 | wat is ctrl+alt+ f8-f12's purpose? | 06:05 |
| Jester45 | xaelius: there are gui configuration tools for apache but they arent that great and you would be better off learning how to manually configure apache. just incase the tools would mess something up you would know how to fix it your self. its not that hard once you know what to do with it. most of the defualts are ok for average servers | 06:05 |
| svenstaro | Sylphid, vnc is a lot easier to configure for that purpose | 06:05 |
| afallenhope | what's the command line to view pictures? | 06:05 |
| Bora | svenstaro: you can also join multiple ppl in a conference. | 06:05 |
| Jester45 | pan034234: nothing unless you have mutlipule X servers for extra terminal there | 06:05 |
| Sylphid | svenstaro: tried that ... unfortunatly bandwith is an issue | 06:05 |
| pan034234 | oh ok | 06:05 |
| xaelius | i have configured them manually under windows versions, much different for lin? | 06:05 |
| Bora | svenstaro: but you must know thier name, to have them voice chat | 06:06 |
| svenstaro | Bora, in that case i think teamspeak is the best choice, there are many teamspeak servers where many people talk about different things, skype only has live casts which is basically like a radio | 06:06 |
| Jester45 | x servers or* | 06:06 |
| svenstaro | Sylphid, tightvnc should work very well | 06:06 |
| repsol_ | xtknight, it is a permission issue | 06:06 |
| svenstaro | afallenhope, "eog picture.png" | 06:06 |
| xtknight | Sylphid, did you see my message about hamachi | 06:06 |
| repsol_ | mount request from unknown host 192.168.1.198 for /home/repsol (/home/repsol) | 06:06 |
| Bora | svenstaro: i will for sure give a try on teamspeak... | 06:06 |
| Sylphid | xtknight: oop... sry missed that | 06:07 |
| svenstaro | repsol_, id suggest googling on how to use nfs in that case, you didnt correclty set the allowed clients to mount it in the exports file | 06:07 |
| svenstaro | repsol_, remember you need to re-export after youre done | 06:07 |
| repsol_ | I have that is how I ended up here | 06:07 |
| xtknight | Sylphid, well with hamachi VPN cross platform, free, you can create a tunnel between you and someone else. basically you guys just join the same group and then you each have your own ips, 5.x.x.x that you connect with. bypasses NAT | 06:07 |
| Jester45 | bora there are many free public servers but you can run your own if you have a good connection. each client uses something like 8kb/s maybe less if you want total control | 06:08 |
| svenstaro | ill be off, farewell lads | 06:08 |
| xtknight | Sylphid, and there's no lag, that i know of | 06:08 |

| shoeunited | Oh, great. | 06:13 |
| xtknight | shoeunited, what's up? | 06:13 |
| shoeunited | Simply stated: I'm having trouble turning on my bluetooth. How do I see if it's being detected? | 06:14 |
| Sylphid | dan, test | 06:14 |
| openros | Consider in windows if i copy a video file from dvd to sys, if the file is corrupted inbetween the total files gets deleted. But in ubuntu the percentage of the file that was copied plays... | 06:14 |
| xtknight | shoeunited, what bluetooth device are you using? | 06:14 |
| openros | how is it... what tech is used in file copy in ubuntu | 06:15 |
| AMLNXUSR_ | anyone-know-why-ubuntu8.04-is-half-the-size-of-7.10..?---does-it-come-with-less-or-something? | 06:15 |
| shoeunited | My laptop to my phone (data transfer) | 06:15 |
| Utalcn2me | shoeunited, try dmesg | grep bluetooth | 06:15 |
| shoeunited | Ok Utalcn2me | 06:15 |
| xtknight | AMLNXUSR, well it shouldn't be | 06:15 |
| AMLNXUSR_ | its-only-like-600mg | 06:15 |
| xtknight | openros, well ubuntu's media player , mplayer or vlc, has better support for partial files than windows media player | 06:15 |
| shoeunited | Nada :/ | 06:15 |
| AMLNXUSR_ | scratch-that-600 | 06:16 |
| xtknight | maybe your 7.10 is a dvd | 06:16 |
| AMLNXUSR_ | 400*( | 06:16 |
| xtknight | oh sounds incomplete to me | 06:16 |
| shoeunited | dmesg isn't spitting back any bluetooth IDs to me. | 06:16 |
| AMLNXUSR_ | ill-redownload-it | 06:16 |
| shoeunited | Is it a driver issue between 32bit and 64 bit? | 06:16 |
| xtknight | shoeunited, is the bluetooth service enabled? | 06:17 |
| xtknight | shoeunited, probably not. the linux kernel is very unified, much more so than windows | 06:17 |
| xtknight | 32/64bit suport is almost guaranteed to be equal | 06:17 |
| myr | AMLNXUSR, 8.04.1 desktop i386 cd is 694.5mb | 06:17 |
| openros | but xtknight, can you tell me some link to learn the implementation details of the file copy methodology in ubuntu | 06:17 |
| xtknight | openros, ubuntu copies a file by replicating the byte, just like windows | 06:17 |
| Jester45 | openros: you can get the same playback by using mplayer or vlc on windows... but linux filesystems are much better | 06:17 |
| shoeunited | Alright. I was seeing some flashplayer issues, so I didn't know if it was affecting hardware as well. | 06:17 |

| AMLNXUSR | oh-ok | 06:17 |
| openros | but in window, no files will be copied partially na | 06:18 |
| AMLNXUSR | still-smaller-than-7.10 | 06:18 |
| xtknight | shoeunited, check system->administration->services for bluetooth | 06:18 |
| openros | only two options in windows 100% or 0% | 06:18 |
| AMLNXUSR | lol | 06:18 |
| shoeunited | K | 06:18 |
| xtknight | openros, hmm i didn't tihnk that was the case | 06:18 |
| xtknight | openros, well it is still the same. i guess windows just decides to delete the partial part it has copied. in that way, it's atomic | 06:19 |
| shoeunited | Bluetooth management is enabled. | 06:19 |
| xtknight | shoeunited, can you give us some details on your bluetooth device | 06:19 |
| openros | I tried with a same video dvd, 1gb | 06:19 |
| shoeunited | It's built in. I can grab the specs and put them on pastebin. It's an acer aspire 4520 notebook though. | 06:19 |
| xtknight | shoeunited, can you pastebin the output of sudo lshw | 06:20 |
| hack | hola | 06:20 |
| shoeunited | alright | 06:20 |
| shoeunited | Alright, just a moment. :) | 06:20 |
| shoeunited | xtknight, http://pastebin.com/m3cdfdf35 | 06:22 |
| openro1 | I tried with a same video dvd, 1gb | 06:22 |
| openro1 | 600mb copied sucessfully and also played till that 600mb in ubuntu... but windows stopped inbetween and deleted the file | 06:22 |
| softwaretech | Can someone help me get setup a Lexmark printer on Ubuntu? | 06:22 |
| openro1 | so felt amasing to learn about few internals | 06:23 |
| xtknight | shoeunited, ah i dont see any bluetooth stuff in there.. usually lshw shows everything. to be honest i dont know much about bluetooth, im sorry | 06:23 |
| shoeunited | Well, I appreciate the try. :) But I know it has bluetooth cause the documentation says it's onboard and I got a button. lol | 06:23 |
| xtknight | shoeunited, do check out the keyword bluetooth in Synaptic | 06:23 |
| xtknight | there's bluetoth device scanners and graphical utilities | 06:23 |
| shoeunited | I did. They all turn up red. | 06:23 |
| shoeunited | Er. | 06:24 |
| shoeunited | To say, none of them worked :/ | 06:24 |
| xtknight | yeah hmm | 06:24 |
| xtknight | shoeunited, humor me and restart the bluetooth service | 06:24 |
| Utalcn2me | shoeunited, it might be something silly like having it turned on at bootup, although i doubt it. | 06:24 |
| xtknight | try reload, and then restart on sudo /etc/init.d/bluetooth | 06:24 |
| tannji | can anyone help me with pulse audio setup? seem to have sound according to meters, but no qaudio to headphones or speakers | 06:25 |
| shoeunited | Well, I'll try restarting the service first. Then I'll take a peek @ the bios. | 06:25 |
| shoeunited | It's probably something stupid like turned off on bios. T_T | 06:25 |
| esac | shoeunited: whats wrong ? | 06:25 |
| xtknight | shoeunited, you have a bluetooth receiver right? | 06:25 |
| xtknight | or w/e you need | 06:25 |
| shoeunited | I got a phone with it. | 06:25 |
| shoeunited | And a laptop with it. | 06:25 |
| shoeunited | Am I missing something? | 06:25 |
| Ademan | does anyone know how to allocate more system ram as VRAM for intel GMA 915 integrated video devices? | 06:26 |
| esac | shoeunited: bluetooth is enabled on the phone ? | 06:26 |
| shoeunited | esac, yes | 06:26 |
| xtknight | shoeunited, i'm missing the model of yuour bluetooth receiver. we need to find a driver for it, i tink | 06:26 |
| shoeunited | Hmmm | 06:26 |
| esac | shoeunited: from terminals, what does 'hcitool scan' show ? | 06:26 |
| xtknight | shoeunited, like the bluetooth adapter on the laptop. it might be in lspci | 06:26 |
| shoeunited | No such device | 06:26 |
| keta | !lamp | 06:27 |
| ubottu | LAMP is an acronym for Linux-Apache-MySQL-PHP. However, the term is often used for setups using alternative but different software, such as Perl or Python instead of PHP, and Postgres instead of MySQL. For help with setting up LAMP on Ubuntu, see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/ApacheMySQLPHP - See also the Server CD installation process (different in Edgy+) | 06:27 |
| shoeunited | Could I use an ndiswrapper for this? | 06:27 |
| shoeunited | Getting the drivers isn't very difficult. | 06:27 |
| esac | shoeunited: then its not finding a driver for your bluetooth receiver on your laptop | 06:27 |
| knoppix | hello guys | 06:27 |
| xtknight | shoeunited, ndiswrapper only suports NDIS(network) drivers | 06:27 |
| shoeunited | Alright. :) | 06:27 |
| knoppix | thank you for the help before | 06:27 |
| shoeunited | So. :/ | 06:27 |
| shoeunited | lol | 06:27 |
| shoeunited | Point me in a direction and I'll start google attacking it. ^_^ | 06:27 |
| esac | shoeunited: most laptops expose the bluetooth receiver as USB to linux. what does 'lsusb' show ? | 06:28 |
| shoeunited | What kills me is other people saying that the bluetooth works for them fine with Hardy. | 06:28 |
| esac | shoeunited: mine shows "Bus 001 Device 003: ID 0a5c:2110 Broadcom Corp. " | 06:28 |
| xtknight | shoeunited, with your model?> | 06:28 |
| jgoo | Right - firefox freezing issue - first, if you have no idea what I am talking about, don't ask me about my plugins - there is only one major cause of the 30-45 second freezes of firefox right? that is the fsync issue? | 06:29 |
| === threethirty is now known as threethirty_away | ||
| shoeunited | Lsusb shows 6 items. | 06:29 |
| xtknight | jgoo, fsync? hmm never heard of it? | 06:29 |
| shoeunited | there are 3 ports. | 06:29 |
| jgoo | is this still a widespread issue? I thought it was fixed - Firefox has been unusable for a month now. | 06:29 |
| Utalcn2me | anyone have a eee pc fully functional here running hardy? | 06:29 |
| shoeunited | My model is an Acer Aspire 4520 | 06:29 |
| jgoo | xtknight, brave job | 06:29 |
| esac | shoeunited: pastebin it | 06:29 |
| shoeunited | Np. | 06:29 |
| knoppix | so thanks | 06:30 |
| chuy_max | esac, as the man says, it lists your usb devices | 06:30 |
| ng0L | jgoo: i have problem with browser on my ubuntu too, but it is not only firefox. | 06:30 |
| * esac meant to write a script so that you can do "command | /usr/bin/pastebin" but hasnt had a chance | 06:30 | |
| myr | Utalcn2me, i installed hardy on my eee and it worked ok. i then installed eeexubuntu because it runs faster | 06:30 |
| shoeunited | http://pastebin.com/d1da28423 | 06:30 |
| binskipy2u | anyone tell me what the command is (if its possible) for force install an i386 package on ubuntu x86_64? | 06:30 |
| esac | chuy_max: ??? | 06:30 |
| chuy_max | esac, lol | 06:30 |
| xtknight | binskipy2u, add --force-architecture | 06:30 |
| xtknight | to dpkg | 06:30 |
| chuy_max | that was dumb, sorry | 06:30 |
| xtknight | proceed at your own risk | 06:30 |
| jgoo | So, I am googling around for other possible 'firefox freezing' issues - but I can't believe that it isn't widespread, I have a vanilla install here on two machines, and on both if I open a few too many tabs, or close a few too many, it greys out. | 06:30 |
| binskipy2u | does it "always work" when you force it? | 06:31 |
| binskipy2u | i mean, will it at least install | 06:31 |
| Utalcn2me | myr, i bet compiz doesn't work well on it, does it? | 06:31 |
| * shoeunited coughs metacity --replace | 06:31 | |
| jgoo | Surely this is on of those fast diagnosis problems, but there is nothing in the /title on this chan, and in the bug report, which I read all of, nothing to suggest any real fix or work around | 06:31 |
| jgoo | then that idiotic blog post assigning blame to someone else. | 06:31 |
| xtknight | jgoo, what is the link to the bug report? | 06:31 |
| jgoo | xtknight, google: firefox fsync bug | 06:32 |
| myr | Utalcn2me, i'm not really sure; i didn't use hardy for more than a few days. i recall it worked fine though | 06:32 |
| tannji | anyone able to help me configure pulse audio? | 06:33 |
| Utalcn2me | myr, i want one, i bet xubuntu would work perfect on it | 06:33 |
| jgoo | Froze again, this time clicking play on an embedded flash - actually, I saw a post recently 'flash no longer kills firefox on linux' ? | 06:33 |
| jgoo | adobe have updated flash player? maybe it is flash causing all these freezes, the tab I was just on opened two embedded youtube videos | 06:33 |
| xtknight | i heard of problems with flash 10 | 06:34 |
| shoeunited | jgoo, what kind of video card are you using? | 06:34 |
| myr | Utalcn2me, it runs quite nice ;] | 06:34 |
| Utalcn2me | jgoo, try deleting .mozilla, maybe it's something like that | 06:34 |
| Jack_Sparrow | jgoo is this ff3 from ubuntu repos or did you dl it yourself | 06:34 |
| myr | Utalcn2me, boots around 55 seconds | 06:34 |
| shoeunited | I've had this problem before. | 06:34 |
| shoeunited | A few different times. | 06:34 |
| shoeunited | lol On different setups. | 06:34 |
| myr | Utalcn2me, i have the 701 model | 06:34 |
| jgoo | shoeunited, no idea, ordered PC, got sent something entirely different with vista on it, I just put ubuntu cd in and installed, and everything worked, compiz too, so really I had no cause to know what graphics card I am using... which is quite impressive really | 06:34 |
| Jack_Sparrow | jgoo is this ff3 from ubuntu repos or did you dl it yourself | 06:35 |
| jgoo | If only people would stop asking me to fix their broken windows installs now... | 06:35 |
| ShaqFu2Fu | Hi, I'm trying to install Martian on 64 bit Hardy to get a lucent modem to work. Only problem is when I go to 'make all' it returns an error along the lines of 'gnu/stubs-32.h' no such file or directory. It's a 64/32 bit thing? any ideas on what to get to fix it, if it's possible? | 06:35 |
| Utalcn2me | myr sounds sweet #} im holding out for the 1000 | 06:35 |
| shoeunited | One was an Nvidia 6800 (heating issue) one was an old computer (Compiz issue) and one was a driver issue (get envy) | 06:35 |
| jgoo | Jack_Sparrow, hrm, the one that was installed with ubuntu (the a1) and then running the updates | 06:35 |
| Jester45 | jgoo: i have the same problem normally with flash videos but sometimes without flash on pages. | 06:35 |
| jgoo | Utalcn2me, I will try deleting that | 06:36 |
| jgoo | Jester45, Yeah, sometimes I just have 20 reddit tabs open, or even 2/3 tabs, and it will do it. | 06:36 |
| jgoo | If I delete .mozilla in future, will I lose all extensions? | 06:36 |
| shoeunited | Yes. | 06:36 |
| shoeunited | You'll have to re-get those extensions. | 06:37 |
| shoeunited | Try getting envy first. | 06:37 |
| ng0L | shoeunited: how to delete .mozilla? | 06:37 |
| Jack_Sparrow | jgoo THe problem can easily be in the different extensions | 06:37 |
| jgoo | ok. I just closed a tab, and it froze again... this could take a while hrm, once it starts, it doesn't stop | 06:37 |
| xtknight | how did you figure it was the fsync problem? | 06:37 |
| Jack_Sparrow | shoeunited Please dont tell people to do that | 06:37 |
| Jester45 | jgoo: but ff3 did fix a ajax update memory leak/cache problem if i let the ajax update go each update was cached.. so after a few days all my memory was gone | 06:37 |
| shoeunited | Alright. | 06:37 |
| shoeunited | >.> | 06:37 |
| jgoo | xtknight, I upgraded, it started freezing, and I read about other people saying it was freezing | 06:37 |
| Utalcn2me | jgoo, it will be worth it though if it fixes it, i haven't any problems for a while with mine and multiple tabs, flash | 06:37 |
| Jack_Sparrow | shoeunited "Envy" is not a good thing to do to your computer | 06:38 |
| jgoo | never had a problem with firefox and I have been using it since phoenix | 06:38 |
| xtknight | jgoo, i see. are you getting the messages like in bug 221009 | 06:38 |

| Zimbo | Hi guys... quick question: Where do I find the settings for my Ethernet card in Ubuntu 8.04? System->Admin->Network only shows "Wired Connection" and "Point to Point Connection," but not an Ethernet card... even though it's clearly installed and running since I'm using it here. :-) I want to go and change, e.g., whether it uses a DHCP server or has a fixed IP, etc. | 06:38 |
| esac | shoeunited: can i ask how you know you have bluetooth on the laptop ? | 06:38 |
| manguy | what is Envy? | 06:38 |
| xtknight | [75613.478586] firefox(21767): dirtied inode 4784273 (places.sqlite-stmtjrnl) on dm-2 | 06:38 |

| shoeunited | It's on the box, in the specs, and there's a bluetooth button above they keyboard. | 06:38 |
| xtknight | !envy | manguy | 06:38 |
| ubottu | manguy: 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. | 06:38 |
| esac | manguy: Envy is when you desire something that someone else has | 06:38 |
| Ayabara | I'm trying to get started with c++ today. Anyone got a good IDE to recommend? I use emacs at the moment, but it would be nice to have something that could offer me a bit of free help with code completion and stuff | 06:38 |
| jgoo | xtknight, ? I think he was running debugging | 06:38 |
| shoeunited | And before I formatted Vista home Prem. It had it. | 06:38 |
| manguy | Thanks | 06:38 |
| jgoo | xtknight, without that he was just seeing this behaviour | 06:39 |
| shoeunited | And there's vista drivers. | 06:39 |
| esac | shoeunited: ok i ask because i was reading that some 4520's dont have it :) | 06:39 |
| Jester45 | Zimbo: run ifconfig in a terminal to show the settings | 06:39 |
| Jack_Sparrow | manguy A script that tries to install your drivers, We reworked a version of it for your repos, but the original can mess you up and keep the real drivers from working | 06:39 |
| shoeunited | Well, it came to my mind too. hehe ^_^ | 06:39 |
| Zimbo | Jester45: That works, but surely there's a GUI somewhere to edit the settings? | 06:39 |
| manguy | Jack_Sparrow: Ack, that's not good | 06:39 |
| xtknight | jgoo, he was running it from the terminal, i'm not sure if he used debug but that would be the next step is to see if it really is fsync | 06:39 |
| Jack_Sparrow | !envy | 06:40 |

| esac | shoeunited: a couple of other posts ive read say that bluetooth works out of the box on hardy. do you get the bluetooth icon in your system tray ? | 06:40 |
| shoeunited | I suppose I could just buy a usb bluetooth adapter from Wal-mart. Do those work out of the box? | 06:40 |
| EvilSpork | Hiya... I have a really weird question. I'm running two lcd monitors on an nvidia card with TwinView enabled. If I'm using totem, even if it's just playing an audio file and no video, it somehow causes one or both of my monitors to get fed an impossible signal and blank out. I've actually had the monitor tell me it's getting a 30 fps refresh rate...!! | 06:40 |
| shoeunited | No I don't. That's what's killing me. lol | 06:40 |
| Jester45 | Zimbo: system > administration > network tools > device > configure | 06:40 |
| xtknight | EvilSpork, is tv out enabled in totem or something | 06:40 |
| EvilSpork | What's up with that? There are no video modes in xorg.conf that would have such wacky parameters. | 06:40 |
| EvilSpork | Unknown, going to check. | 06:40 |
| EvilSpork | 30 hz does sound like a TV res... | 06:40 |
| Jester45 | Zimbo: my wording might be off i dont use gnome so im going from memory | 06:40 |
| esac | shoeunited: when i run 'hcitool scan' it says Scanning ... and then just goes back to a prompt since there are no devices. i know this probably isnt helpful at all :( | 06:41 |
| EvilSpork | No TV out | 06:41 |
| welkin | utalcn2me>>> is there any other email clients cause i cant understand how mutt works and i searched in google i cant find any useful link for tat | 06:41 |
| cruddpuppet | Can someone help me set up screenlets? | 06:41 |
| Jester45 | EvilSpork: thats a TV frequency :) not resoultion | 06:41 |
| cruddpuppet | I have been trying all day, and do not know what to do. ;-; | 06:41 |
| shoeunited | esac, I recieved the same results. | 06:41 |
| Jester45 | !ask | cruddpuppet | 06:41 |
| ubottu | cruddpuppet: Please don't ask to ask a question, ask the question (all on ONE line, so others can read and follow it easily). If anyone knows the answer they will most likely answer. :-) | 06:41 |
| Zimbo | Jester45: Thanks, that works on this machine. On another one "Configure" is greyed out... any idea why that might be? | 06:41 |
| EvilSpork | Sorry, I know, brainfart | 06:41 |
| shoeunited | I appreciate the help, and I'll be back. But I'm going to check if it wasn't turned off in bios. :) | 06:42 |
| esac | shoeunited: oh, i thought you said it said "no such device" ? | 06:42 |
| cruddpuppet | How do I install screenlets? Every time I try using one of the screenlet applications, I keep getting ImportErrors from python. | 06:42 |
| shoeunited | Oh, yes, that one did. | 06:42 |
| Jester45 | Zimbo: is it your loopback? you cant chage settings for that its only a local interface and shouldnt matter | 06:42 |
| shoeunited | I was thinking of another | 06:42 |
| esac | oh ok :) | 06:42 |
| un2him | how do you upgrade to 8.04.1 that just came out? | 06:42 |
| Utalcn2me | welkin, you configure mutt at the .muttrc, but there are others, although i havent used them - i think someone mentioned pine, or alpine witch is a non-free one | 06:43 |
| EvilSpork | When the problem occurrs, it persists after totem is closed. My method of getting the video back has been to blindly hit the logout button and switch user, which restarts the x server and gets both back on | 06:43 |
| dumples | can anyone walk me through installing Compiz? | 06:43 |
| Zimbo | Jester45: I take it back, even on this machine when I click "Configure" (for Eth0) it says, "The interface does not exist," even though the main dialog is correctly tallying up xmitted bytes/received bytes, etc! | 06:43 |
| evilbug | un2him- you can just use update manager. | 06:43 |
| shoeunited | Jack_Sparrow, Sorry didn't mean to butt in. I'm a bit over the top. >.> | 06:43 |
| evilbug | un2him- or the alternative/live cd. | 06:43 |
| esac | shoeunited: what does "hcitool dev" list ? | 06:43 |
| welkin | utalcn2me>>> do u know how to configure in .muttrc? | 06:43 |
| EvilSpork | I don't know if it has anything to do with the two monitors having different res's; both are 1024 high, but one is widescreen and the other's just a 1280x1024 | 06:43 |
| shoeunited | It says Devices: and then the following line is prompt. | 06:44 |
| cruddpuppet | How do I install screenlets? Every time I try using one of the screenlet applications, I keep getting ImportErrors from python. ;-; | 06:44 |
| chuy_max | dumples, I think its installed by default, you have to install the correct drivers if they are not | 06:44 |
| esac | shoeunited: ok well that confirms that it isnt finding your bluetooth adapter. | 06:44 |
| bullgard4 | un2him: Press System > Administration > Update Manager. That's it. Version .1 is only a CD version. | 06:44 |
| didymus7777 | ok, what is the diffrence, besides the gui install between the server and the desktop ubuntu | 06:45 |
| shoeunited | Thank you esac :) I'm gonna make a run to the Bios and see if it wasn't disabled. | 06:45 |
| Jester45 | Zimbo: may be a strange thing but try turning off eth0 then configure... idk it would work but it just seems like somthing you would need to do | 06:45 |
| esac | shoeunited: good idea :) | 06:45 |
| Jester45 | Zimbo: but thats just a blind guess | 06:45 |
| un2him | bullgard4: thanks. | 06:45 |
| Zimbo | Jester45: I guess I'll be gone for a moment then, while I it down -- thanks for the help | 06:45 |
| Zimbo | while I shut it down | 06:45 |
| Jester45 | didymus7777: i think desktop install uses sudo and server install enables root | 06:46 |
| Jester45 | didymus7777: but i may be wrong i just remeber reading that somewhere | 06:46 |
| EvilSpork | Server doesn't have root enabled by default | 06:46 |
| EvilSpork | as far as I know | 06:46 |
| chuy_max | !root | 06:47 |
| ubottu | Do not try to guess the root password, that is impossible. Instead, realise the truth... there is no root password. Then you will see that it is 'sudo' that grants you access and not the root password. Look at https://help.ubuntu.com/community/RootSudo | 06:47 |
| Utalcn2me | welkin, yes and no, been a while - but there are many examples on google, that you could copy and modify in your own .muttrc - but some are using imap and other wierd examples | 06:47 |
| welkin | utalcn2me>>> k... thanks.... | 06:47 |

| jgoo_ | What happens when you load a few tabs to try and get firefox to hit the bug you've been seeing? | 06:48 |
| jgoo_ | Segmentation fault | 06:48 |
| EvilSpork | Well, you can know the root password, if you set it :D | 06:48 |
| dumples | im trying to get the wobbly windows and such | 06:48 |
| EvilSpork | sudo passwd root | 06:48 |
| EvilSpork | but this is not recommended. | 06:48 |
| dumples | and it isnt working | 06:48 |
| === genewitch_ is now known as genewitch | ||
| RAdams | there's no need to set the root password | 06:48 |
| EvilSpork | Ok, I think I may have my issue figured out. It's a quirk with the nvidia binary driver and how it handles refresh rates, or rather, how it fakes 'em. | 06:48 |
| RAdams | sudo su if you need to do extended root tasks | 06:48 |
| ePax | Sudo -i works fine 2 | 06:49 |
| === crd1b is now known as crdlb | ||
| RAdams | that too | 06:49 |
| enos | !wine | 06:49 |
| ubottu | WINE is a compatibility layer for running Windows programs on GNU/Linux. See https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Wine for more information, and see !AppDB for application compatibility. | 06:49 |
| EvilSpork | http://us.download.nvidia.com/XFree86/Linux-x86/169.07/README/chapter-07.html#id2546809 | 06:49 |
| EvilSpork | This looks like the answer. | 06:49 |
| EvilSpork | Gonna test it... brb | 06:49 |
| RAdams | why is update-usplash-theme not able to use the usplash.so files I dropped into /usr/lib/usplash?

| jgoo_ | Actually, I have the EXACT same problem on an XP machine, where firefox freezes - the only difference is it obviously doesn't give a visual cue that it has frozen | 06:49 |
| EvilSpork | Yow! Didn't work! | 06:50 |
| bullgard4 | [GNOME] What is the name of the program which will show the icons of all open programs on the current workspace in the middle of the screen, if you press Alt+Tab? | 06:50 |
| ePax | !nvidia | EvilSpork | 06:50 |
| ubottu | EvilSpork: For Ati/NVidia/Matrox video cards, see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/BinaryDriverHowto | 06:50 |
| didymus7777 | so if root is not inabled in the server addition (i actually like that) then there is really nothing diffrent between the server addition and the desktop? agian other then the gui. If someone knowes were I can go to compair the two that would work too. I hate bugging people, But I also hate searching for days | 06:51 |
| Utalcn2me | dumples, you set up stuff for compiz in your compizconfig-settings-manager - also you need to turn compiz on | 06:51 |
| ePax | didymus7777: By default on all ubuntus root is not enabled. But you can log in ass user root with sudo -i | 06:52 |
| RAdams | didymus7777: the server edition has several tweaks to work well in such an environment, and also does not include tools geared more towards desktop uses. for more info, see the ubuntu server wiki or #ubuntu-server | 06:52 |
| welkin | utalcn2me>>> do u knw how to work in irssi | 06:52 |
| didymus7777 | thank you RAdams | 06:52 |
| Utalcn2me | dumples, also you might have to set visual setting to extra | 06:52 |
| RAdams | why is update-usplash-theme not able to use the usplash.so files I dropped into /usr/lib/usplash? "sudo update-usplash-theme dark-ubuntu" returns "update-alternatives: Cannot find alternative `/usr/lib/usplash/dark-ubuntu.so'." when the file is there with same ownership/permissions as the working default... | 06:53 |
| Utalcn2me | welkin, once again irssi uses a .rc file to store your configurations | 06:53 |
| Jester45 | ePax: watch your language :) | 06:54 |
| welkin | utalcn2me>>> do u knw how to quit it... i cant quit it | 06:54 |
| ePax | Jester45: -s (; | 06:54 |
| ubunubi | i'm trying to add my swap partition to fstab...does it need a mountpoint? | 06:54 |
| Jester45 | ubunubi: no make the mount point none | 06:54 |
| ubunubi | jester: does swap even need an fstab entry? | 06:55 |
| Jester45 | ubunubi: if you want to have it activated after each boot | 06:55 |
| Utalcn2me | welkin, sorry, it's been a while, and i used to be into it like you are getting into it, im too lazy and old to remember much any more :P i think you quit with a /bye or something | 06:55 |
| RAdams | ubunubi: "none swap sw 0 0" by default | 06:55 |
| welkin | utalcn2me>>> k.. ill try | 06:55 |
| dumples | it wont let me switch to extra, it starts going into a cosby-like rant about restricted drivers | 06:55 |
| Utalcn2me | welkin, irssi has a great help file - try /help | 06:56 |
| brdk_ayat2_metal | aya awe2an eweuh | 06:56 |
| RAdams | dumples: you need to have a video driver installed capable of supporting compiz effects | 06:56 |
| ePax | dumples: Did you install your drivers properly? nvidia or ati? is it enabled in restricted drivers? | 06:56 |
| welkin | utalcn2me>>> it helped.... it works..... finally it quit | 06:56 |

| Jester45 | ubunubi: i dont use swap unless i see my memory getting used up then i make a swapfile.. but i guess i could just set swapiness to 0 if i dont want to use it till the end | 06:57 |
| ubunubi | Jester45: i have swappiness set to 0. but i need swap space for hibernation i'm told | 06:57 |
| Jester45 | ubunubi: true | 06:57 |
| Utalcn2me | welkin, keep trying, you will be a command line genius before you know it | 06:58 |
| dumples | its enabled, im not sure what kind of video driver i have, i got the computer from a friend with a broken windows system on it and decided to install ubuntu, when i opened it up there were spiderwebs and crap all throughout it :( i didnt think to check it out when i had it open | 06:58 |
| ubunubi | Jester45: so i have swappiness set to 0 so it's not used for real swap space (i think), and 2x RAM for hibernate | 06:58 |
| welkin | utalcn2me>>> thanks a lot.... i gtg now.. bye.... | 06:58 |
| RAdams | ubunubi, jester45: even if you do not typically use the swap space, it is highly recommended for system stability. | 06:58 |
| Jester45 | ubunubi: hibernation puts all your ram onto disk (read swap) so that after a reboot it just puts all the swap/ram back into ram | 06:58 |
| ubunubi | Jester45: nod. that's how i understand it. getting hibernate to work with ati drivers should be fun | 06:59 |
| ubunubi | about to test it | 06:59 |
| RAdams | Jester45: it also writes to the head of the active partition as well :) | 06:59 |
| dumples | So, how would I check my sysyem specs without opening up my computer | 06:59 |
| Jester45 | RAdams: i dont like waiting for my disk to spin up.. and it a 4 drive raid so its a lot of unneeded noise/energy | 06:59 |
| ubunubi | brb wish me luck | 06:59 |
| RAdams | jester45: swappiness to 0 is better than no swap at all, for sanity | 06:59 |
| aliasnexus0 | is anyone here savvy with setting up a fusion5 pci card under mythbuntu? | 06:59 |
| RAdams | !ask | aliasnexus0 | 07:00 |
| ubottu | aliasnexus0: Please don't ask to ask a question, ask the question (all on ONE line, so others can read and follow it easily). If anyone knows the answer they will most likely answer. :-) | 07:00 |
| Jester45 | well im not sane then | 07:00 |
| RAdams | Jester45: fair enough :) | 07:00 |
| Jester45 | lol | 07:00 |
| Knome | how long does a ban last?? | 07:00 |
| karasuman | 1247 people? Wow. | 07:00 |
| RAdams | has anyone successfully switched usplash themes in hardy? | 07:00 |
| dumples | ....just realized the sticker on the front, is a "4X AGP nVIdia TNT2 M64 good enough to run it? | 07:00 |
| Jester45 | forever or untill the end of time... what ever comes first | 07:01 |
| aliasnexus0 | well that's fair enough. i have mythbuntu working great with a pvr-150 card, my fusion5 hdtv is giving me issues on the other hand. | 07:01 |
| Jester45 | Knome: im not sure that was a joke | 07:01 |
| RAdams | dumples: considering I'm running compiz effects on a card 3 generations older than that, probably :) | 07:01 |
| Knome | Jester45: what? | 07:01 |
| _NiC | If I use prevu to build backported packages from intrepid for use on hardy, how much trouble might I get when I want to do a dist-upgrade later? | 07:01 |
| Knome | Jester45: my quit? | 07:01 |
| dumples | well thats good to know, so how would i find these fabled drivers of lore? | 07:02 |
| EvilSpork | Blaaaaargh. I've even tried fixing the resolutions/refresh rates from nvidia-settings | 07:02 |
| RAdams | _NiC: depends on if they're being tracked by dpkg. | 07:02 |
| Jester45 | Knome: i made a stupid joke just ignore me | 07:02 |
| RAdams | !restricteddrivers | dumples | 07:02 |
| ubottu | RAdams: Error: I am only a bot, please don't think I'm intelligent :) | 07:02 |

| RAdams | dumples: Restricted hardware Drivers | 07:02 |
| Karsynoma | Alright, gents, I seem to be having a bit of a problem. As juvenile as it sounds, I'm having a bit of trouble running the OpenGL-run form of RuneScape, and although their dedicated area of the FAQ does help with resolution, there's another issue. | 07:02 |
| Knome | Jester45: oh, well i was banned after i exited the channel because my quit message was kiss my a**, in ##linux | 07:03 |
| myr | my laptop case has a small crack, can i download some software to fix it? | 07:03 |
| ubunubi | Jester45: sadly didn't work. when i clicked hibernate it waited a bit, then shutdown ,but when i powered on the machine it went through the regular boot process -- suggestions? | 07:03 |
| EvilSpork | Uh, yeah, check http://jbweld.net/ | 07:03 |
| Jester45 | Knome: well that depends on the channel. you might have to talk to a channel op about that | 07:03 |
| RAdams | _NiC: you should be ok, as the dist-upgrade will have a higher version, but YMMV :) | 07:03 |
| Utalcn2me | im running compiz using the open ati driver and it works great, although i cant get the raindrop effect to work, i don't have anything to compare it to though | 07:04 |
| RAdams | has anyone successfully switched usplash themes in hardy? | 07:04 |
| _NiC | radams: as always.. :-) I would like to have a newer rsyslog for some queuing-support and relp.. hardy has 1.19 and I want 3.16+ :) | 07:04 |
| Karsynoma | The problem is pretty much this; while the game does load and the graphics do display properly, I have to continuously move the mouse in order to keep the frames moving, otherwise it'll just stop on one frame and not move at all. | 07:04 |
| Jester45 | Utalcn2me: i had the same problem on a radeon 9250 but it works on my x300 | 07:05 |
| unop | Knome, it's upto the channel ops really -- could be an hour, could be a month, forever - depends -- not nice using profanity anywhere on freenode | 07:05 |
| Karsynoma | The question is, what would cause this to occur in an OpenGL-run Java application? | 07:05 |
| Jack_Sparrow | knome You were banned in ubuntu and kubuntu and now you are ban evading | 07:05 |
| Jack_Sparrow | ? | 07:05 |
| Knome | ? | 07:05 |
| RAdams | !enter | Karsynoma | 07:05 |
| Utalcn2me | Jester45, im using an ati9200 i think - works anyway | 07:05 |
| ubottu | Karsynoma: Please try to keep your questions/responses on one line - don't use the "Enter" key as punctuation! | 07:05 |
| Knome | ive never entered kubuntu | 07:06 |
| Karsynoma | ubottu: My apologies, I'll rephrase the question. | 07:06 |
| ubottu | Karsynoma: Error: I am only a bot, please don't think I'm intelligent :) | 07:06 |
| Karsynoma | Ugh. | 07:06 |
| _NiC | hehe | 07:06 |
| Jester45 | Utalcn2me: everythign else in compiz worked just not water. can you make the drops with your mouse ? i coudnt do anything | 07:06 |
| Jack_Sparrow | knome It looks like those were both removed already | 07:06 |
| RAdams | _NiC: you should be alright... just make sure any and all dependencies updated to satisfy your new packages are tracked through dpkg... it is never safe to assume that just because the primary package you build is tracked in dpkg, that the dependencies are too | 07:06 |
| Knome | and i talked to someone in ubuntu-ops and i changed my exit message and they unbanned me | 07:06 |
| Jester45 | Utalcn2me: i can give you a screenshot if you would like | 07:06 |
| Karsynoma | Alright, more important things are going on here, I'll wait until later to get the question answered. | 07:07 |
| Jack_Sparrow | Knome I was going by ip.. | 07:07 |
| RAdams | Knome: your ban in ##linux needs to be taken up with the admins there | 07:07 |
| ubunubi | My Hibernation didn't go as planned. It shutdown properly, but powering on my machine went through the normal boot process (Instead of loading the hibernation file back into RAM) -- any suggestions? | 07:07 |
| _NiC | radams, yeah. | 07:07 |
| RAdams | Karsynoma: all you have to do is ask the question on one line, to make it easy for us to read. if someone knows, someone will answer. | 07:07 |
| Jack_Sparrow | Knome that was pici that did that for you | 07:07 |
| Knome | RAdams: i asked about it in linux-ops but no one said anything yet | 07:07 |
| Utalcn2me | Jester45, fire works - and maybe some other stuff doesn't work - but no raindrops | 07:07 |
| _NiC | radams, thanks for your input. :) | 07:07 |
| RAdams | _NiC: sounds like you're all set. good luck, have fun with that :) | 07:08 |
| Jack_Sparrow | Knome FYI it is offtopic in here | 07:08 |
| _NiC | radams, thanks:) | 07:08 |
| Knome | Jack_Sparrow: i know, i brought it up in linux- but no one said anything and i needed help somewhere | 07:08 |
| Knome | *linux-ops | 07:08 |
| * myr has reset peer's connection | 07:08 | |
| Jack_Sparrow | Knome And I am asking nicely to stop.. | 07:09 |
| _NiC | knome, that doesn't make it any more on-topic | 07:09 |
| bazhang | !ot > Knome | 07:09 |
| ubottu | Knome, please see my private message | 07:09 |
| Karsynoma | Alright, the issue is with the new version of RuneScape, the one that is apparently run with OpenGL, for some reason I can load the game itself, but the Java applet requires me to constantly move the mouse around on it to update what's on the screen. The drivers for my ATI card support OpenGL (can't think of one that doesn't), and I can run other OpenGL games with no issue. Any suggestions as to why this would be o | 07:10 |
| Karsynoma | ccuring? | 07:10 |
| Jack_Sparrow | bazhang goodnight | 07:10 |

| lat | aticonfig: parsing the command-line failed. | 07:10 |
| karasuman | I sort of have a less linux-y question, but if anyone knows about stuff like this and wants to help, I'd appreciate it. ;) I don't understand the concept of NP-completeness, even after reading the wikipedia page. | 07:10 |
| RAdams | Karsynoma: what JRE are you using? what version is it? | 07:11 |
| Karsynoma | RAdams: I'm using JRE 1.6, the one that shipped with Linux Mint Elyssa/Hardy. | 07:11 |
| rand0m | this is a total long shot but is it at all possible to resume a bittorrent download that i started in winxp (on my ntfs partition obviously) | 07:11 |
| rand0m | while running ubuntu | 07:11 |
| jkoltner | OK, I have two machines that are now working just fine with their Ethernet cards, but "sudo network-admin --configure eth0" just produces the error message, "The interface does not exist...," even though ifconfig certainly shows an eth0 with an assigned IP address, etc. Anyone know what's going on? | 07:11 |
| encoded | hellloo | 07:12 |
| _NiC | rand0m, should be, copy the files and do a rehash. can't hurt. :> | 07:12 |
| Karsynoma | RAdams: Let me rephrase that, it's version 6. I'm thinking of the plugin. | 07:12 |
| Jester45 | rand0m: yes put the data in your download directory for bittorrent and start it. if your windows client is set for full allocation set bittorrent to the same, or sparse to sparse. it might help | 07:12 |
| RAdams | Karsynoma: I would check and see if that version satisfies RuneScape. Sounds like an issue with the JRE if anything. Might want to check the TransGaming forums and their dev team, they've done a lot of work on that and might know. | 07:13 |
| dumples | How would i install a restricted driver? | 07:13 |
| ePax | jkoltner: Your comp mught be using ath0 or eth1... type ifconfig to see | 07:13 |
| RAdams | dumples: check it off, enter your password, grab a cup of coffee, come back, restart | 07:13 |
| jkoltner | Would anyone be willing to try "sudo network-admin --configure eth0" on their own machine and let me know if they get the same error message or not? (I'm using 8.04, BTW.) | 07:13 |
| dumples | Its checked, it just isnt working | 07:14 |
| jkoltner | ePax: It's using eth0... the first few lines of ifconfig are: eth0 Link encap:Ethernet HWaddr 00:17:08:41:b1:91 | 07:14 |
| jkoltner | inet addr:192.168.2.105 Bcast:255.255.255.255 Mask:255.255.255.0 | 07:14 |
| karasuman | I'll give it a try, jkoltner, unless someone screams "NO DON'T THAT'S DUMB" | 07:14 |
| jkoltner | Thanks karasuman | 07:14 |
| dumples | It would be in the hardware drivers section right? | 07:14 |
| karasuman | unable to look up session information. sorry. :-/ | 07:15 |
| RAdams | dumples: yes. if it isn't working, then i would google around using your exact card model and see if others had that problem... sometimes you need to tweak xorg or your modules to get it working right. | 07:15 |
| jkoltner | Hmm.... it seems as though the network tools in 8.04 aren't quite in line with whatever's really going on in Ubuntu networking these days | 07:15 |
| dumples | would you mind explaining xorg? | 07:16 |
| ubunubi | can something that asks for a partitions UUID also be referenced with /dev/sdaX ? | 07:16 |
| dumples | i have no idea what it is | 07:16 |
| RAdams | ubunubi: depends on what it is | 07:16 |

| jkoltner | Thanks for the confirmation, ubottu | 07:17 |
| ubunubi | RAdams: i looked up a tutorial on fixing my hibernate issue. it says i have to rebuild my initramfs by creating a initramfs/conf/conf.d/resume file containing something like "RESUME=UUID=11e49f41-85e5-4889-873e-efc1be92f07d" | 07:17 |
| ubunubi | RAdams: my swap (in fstab) doesn't have a UUID seemingly set. so i'm wondering if it's okay to reference it via /dev/sda7 instead | 07:18 |
| jkoltner | Bizarre that these sorts of bugs make it into full releases -- I mean, this seems like the kind of error I could see my grandmother running into... but of course I'm just happy that Ubuntu works in general! | 07:18 |
| === Shadow_X is now known as Shadow_X|zZzZz | ||
| karasuman | it seems like there a lot of bugs that make it into this kind of thing... | 07:18 |
| unop | RAdams, it should be ok | 07:18 |
| dumples | thanks, also what is with people putting a ! in front of words? | 07:18 |
| karasuman | but at least it's the sort of thing that actually affects the people who fix it, so it might get fixed someday :) | 07:18 |
| karasuman | alternatively, at least you didn't pay for it. :) | 07:18 |
| Karsynoma | RAdams: The minimum Java requirement to run the game is 1.4.2, so I should be in the clear. If anyone else would care to give it a go, here's a direct link to one of the worlds running this version of the game. No login required, what gets displayed is more or less a compatibility test. As mentioned, the resolution isn't a problem, I've got that working: http://world73.runescape.com/p0,g1 | 07:18 |
| jkoltner | Good point | 07:18 |
| unop | dumples, that's people asking the bot to tell you about factoids | 07:18 |
| Karsynoma | RAdams: Thanks for your assistance either way. | 07:19 |
| karasuman | I just switched to Ubuntu about a month ago because Dell wouldn't let me get my laptop with XP. | 07:19 |
| RAdams | ubunubi: find the uuid of the drive in question then: sudo vol_id -u /dev/sd{whatever} | 07:19 |

| karasuman | I'd never go back. | 07:19 |
| kapace | k, i just compiled http://www.trunix.org/programlama/os/elf-hl/Documentation/elf/node7.html ,this in ubuntu and it says "bash: ./dltest: Permission denied" and im root | 07:19 |

| kapace | im root | 07:20 |
| RAdams | ubunubi: in that case it is fine to use /dev/{whatever}, but uuid is preferred | 07:20 |
| jkoltner | Karasuman: At least for use at home, the only real app that doesn't exist for Linux is something like Delorme Street Atlas USA. Other than that I'd be a full-time Ubuntu user. | 07:20 |
| ubunubi | RAdams: what's the difference? technically speaking? | 07:20 |
| _NiC | ubunubi, the uuid's will not change, the /dev/* might | 07:20 |
| karasuman | I still have my PC with XP on it for when I really need it, I guess. Mostly, that's playing games. | 07:20 |
| RAdams | ubunubi: uuid doesn't change with the drive's place in the chain | 07:20 |
| babola1 | kapace: check ownership of the directory ./ or use chmod 777 or chown user | 07:20 |
| ubunubi | RAdams: so the uuid is some type of hash of the partition that makes it truly unique? | 07:21 |
| kapace | babola1: ok just a sec | 07:21 |
| RAdams | !uuid | ubunubi | 07:21 |
| ubottu | ubunubi: 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) | 07:21 |

| ubottu | 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 | 07:21 |
| unop | ubunubi, not a has no -- the uuid is written to the filesystem when it is created | 07:21 |
| unop | ubunubi, so as long as the filesytem is not formatted again -- it will continue to have the same UUID | 07:22 |

| unop | babola1, second physical disk, first partition -- numbering starts at 0 -- so you get hd1,0 | 07:23 |

| unop | ubunubi, did you get my last post to you? | 07:23 |
| kapace | babola1: could it be something to do with libdl | 07:23 |
| kapace | ? | 07:23 |
| babola1 | kapace: i'm in grub hell right now.. ask someone else.. sorry | 07:24 |
| kapace | ok | 07:24 |
| ubunubi | unop: yes, but someone mentioned that swap space is handled different from a regular file system. they didn't state why they think the uuid for their swap changes continuously | 07:24 |
| RAdams | ubunubi: only if you actually change where the swap is partitioned... some installs use a "tear-up-tear-down" swap, where it never lives on a given partition, it is just created on demand. IMHO, this is a waste of resources and not a stable/sane solution. Long story short: a given partition will retain its UUID until it is reformatted. | 07:25 |
| ubunubi | radams: k, thanks :) ..now it mentioned i have to recompile/compress this initramfs i have currently decompressed. is there an easy way do to that? | 07:26 |
| unop | ubunubi, I don't think the assertion is true -- if it were, you'd see a lot of people in here with problems related to that possibility, i'm not ruling the possibility out, i'm just saying it's quite unlikely | 07:26 |
| RAdams | ubunubi: sudo dpkg-reconfigure linux-image-`uname -r` | 07:26 |
| ubunubi | unop: radams explanation explains it. if someone doesn't have a defined swap partition, a temporary swap might be created on demand and thus move around | 07:27 |
| ubunubi | radams: will that ask where i currently have this changed one decompressed? | 07:27 |
| RAdams | ubunubi: that will recompile the kernel currently in use. what are you trying to do? | 07:28 |
| ubunubi | radams: i extracted my current initramfs so i could create a file absent (but needed) for hibernation. now that i have my current one extracted, i added the file, now i need the extracted one packed back up, to replace my current packed one | 07:29 |
| ubunubi | radams: http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=781809 following post#1's idea. they just don't explain the steps for the repacking | 07:29 |
| ubunubi | radams: my initramfs was lacking a /conf/conf.d/resume file telling it where my hibernate image was located (i didn't have swap space when this kernel was compiled) | 07:30 |
| djzn | I am noticing that my new hard drive which nas "Native Command Queueing" is *HELL* fast on Windows. I checked its properties in the device manager and the "Enable Command Queueing" is TICKED. The chipset is a MCP61 (nvidia). In Linux, the dmesg message said that the NCQ had a depth of 0/31, that is, was not enabled. What's going on? | 07:31 |
| abhi_ | hi, i am using ubuntu8.04. which has python preinstalled. yesterday i had installed the python by compiling from source. before that python precess was running in background. after installing the new python i am not able applications which depend on python.. | 07:31 |
| arooni | who likes screenlets? raise your hand! | 07:31 |
| ubunubi | djzn: NCQ won't give you any noticeable "hella speedup", unless your desktop is funtioning in a super high I/O capacity like a high traffic webserver...NCQ is likely not responsible for any speed difference between windows and your linux install | 07:32 |

| derek | Does anyone know of how to go about getting a Broadcom BCM94311 card working in Ubuntu? Jockey recognized it and tried b43, but that didn't work. Neither did Ndiswrapper. Could someone please help? | 07:33 |
| djzn | ubunubi: hmmm interesting answer!!! | 07:33 |
| ariqs | I got the spring maps package and I got spring, but I sitll can't play single player games cause it demands I choose a mod and there is no mod to choose | 07:33 |
| abhi_ | ePax, : i have checked the synaptic. it shows python2.5 installed. | 07:33 |
| ubunubi | djzn: in fact ncq can cause slight delays when used in a desktop environment with regular desktop file access patterns | 07:33 |
| mib_nq8a8z | stupid question: what exactly is a release? if all packages are continuously updated, what is the point of a new release? | 07:33 |
| djzn | ubunubi: hmmm i see | 07:33 |
| dezzer | anday | 07:34 |
| bullgard4 | [GNOME] What is the name of the program which will show the icons of all open programs on the current workspace in the middle of the screen, if you press Alt+Tab? | 07:34 |
| Jester45 | mib_nq8a8z: all packages are not continuously updated they are updated when its needed. | 07:34 |
| nickrud | mib_nq8a8z not all packages are updated after a release. | 07:34 |
| Blice | Hi. On the LiveCD, I hit esc and it took me to text mode. I'm trying to boot into a simple bash. Right now the screen reads "boot:_", do I just type in init=/bin/bash ? | 07:34 |
| mib_nq8a8z | so a release is an update of certain packages that are otherwise not updated? | 07:34 |
| djzn | ubunubi: good to know that.. would you think that Windows has the IDE chipset driver that came with the motherboard... that it could enable in windows, whereas the in-house chipset driver in linux kernel could not be providing that? | 07:34 |
| nickrud | mib_nq8a8z very few, relative to the number in the release. A release starts with a snapshot of debian unstable, then gets ubuntu's massaging/additions | 07:35 |
| RAdams | mib_nq8a8z: it's a signficant milestone, and allows a new user to jump into the game with a relatively up to date system. also, some packages are held back until the next release, as they can not be updated until certain dependencies are met. to get a better idea of the methodology of ubuntu's releases, check the roadmaps for the past and future releases to see what they went for/are going for | 07:35 |
| RAdams | ubunubi: find . -print -depth | cpio -ov > tree.cpio is what you want, according to the man page | 07:35 |
| Jester45 | mib_nq8a8z: and when a large package say GNOME gets updated its generally along with a new release because so much stuff needs to be tested and new stuff added. also a new release means new defualt packages/artwork | 07:36 |
| abhi_ | did anyone have any problem with new 8.04? I am frequently facing my system crash upon installing applications.. | 07:36 |
| raj_ | type /msg NickServ help | 07:36 |
| edlang | Hi -- I'm having difficulty using the python-simpleparse package when attempting to parse an EBNF grammar. Does anyone have experience with using the Ubuntu package? | 07:36 |
| mib_nq8a8z | i see. thanks, everyone | 07:36 |
| RAdams | abhi_: we need more details than that. what is crashing? what errors show up in dmesg? does it happen everytime you install something? did you cleanly install 8.04, or was it an upgrade? if it was an upgrade, what did you upgrade from | 07:37 |
| ubunubi | radams: that gave me an error that doesn't make sense | 07:37 |
| RAdams | ubunubi: were you in the right directory when you did it? you need to be in your extracted source | 07:38 |
| ddalton | on hardy, how do we configure static ip address? same as debian? /etc/network/interfaces? | 07:38 |
| nickrud | ddalton that works fine | 07:38 |
| RAdams | ubunubi: you might want to read man cpio | 07:39 |
| ddalton | nickrud: what should a default interfaces file contain? it doesn't have any reference to eth0 | 07:39 |
| ubunubi | RAdams: no, i wasnt (i was further down in the tree), however cd'ing back to /tmp where the extracted /tmp/initramfs is located seems to have run through the process but i don't see where it put the repackaged initramfs | 07:39 |
| ddalton | but ifconfig somehow gets an ip | 07:39 |
| RAdams | has anyone successfully changed their usplash in hardy? | 07:40 |
| RAdams | ddalton: is networkmanager installed/ | 07:40 |
| RAdams | ? | 07:40 |
| nickrud | ddalton it's blank because NetworkManager is doing that for you. If you configure eth0 in interfaces, NetworkManager will skip eth0 | 07:40 |
| raj_ | can any one tell how to register in ##C ? | 07:40 |
| nickrud | !register | raj_ (most likely) | 07:40 |
| ubottu | raj_ (most likely): Information about registering your nickname: http://freenode.net/faq.shtml#userregistration - Type « /nick <nickname> » to select your nickname. | 07:40 |
| RAdams | !ot > raj_ | 07:40 |
| ubottu | raj_, please see my private message | 07:40 |
| luchador | anyone here play counter strike on ubuntu? | 07:41 |
| ddalton | so, this interfaces file would be fine for a ubuntu box? http://pastebin.com/f38fd3ac2 | 07:41 |
| nickrud | ddalton that's a standard interfaces stuff | 07:42 |
| Blice | When booting from a livecd, if I'm at the grub promt, what's the kernel line? | 07:42 |
| RAdams | ok, workrave is pissed at me. might as well sleep before I have to click postpone again. ubunubi, good luck with that. I would recommend reading man cpio, that can be hairy, but it's rewarding when you get it to work :) | 07:42 |
| jjun | test | 07:43 |
| ubunubi | radams: thanks | 07:43 |
| jjun | hi | 07:43 |
| ddalton | nickrud: so that's no worries with ubuntu? | 07:43 |
| ddalton | sorry, i use debian just needing to work on a someone else box | 07:43 |
| Blice | Anyone? | 07:43 |
| nickrud | ddalton seriously, all the major infrastructure is identical. ubuntu is too smart to mess with basic networking | 07:43 |
| Frosty|Music | hey .. im new to linux, so bear with me .. how do i force boot into a kernel, bypassing the bootloader? | 07:44 |
| arooni | rae there can someone please tell me where to go to edit the 'quicksearch' listings for firefox? these are things that when you type 'g {term}' it searches google for the term. | 07:44 |
| Frogzoo | Blice: "kernel /boot/vmlinuz-2.6.24-19-generic root=UUID=8f249e8e-18a7-467b-860e-d8eb245fe03d " | 07:44 |
| ddalton | nickrud: ok, good. thanks. | 07:44 |
| * nickrud generally looks for debian docs for everything but the desktop, anyway | 07:45 | |
| Flannel | arooni: http://www.mozilla.org/products/firefox/smart-keywords.html | 07:45 |
| nickrud | Frogzoo did you do that from memory? | 07:45 |
| Frogzoo | nickrud: sure ;) | 07:46 |

| LetterRip | hi all any suggestions on automating wifi loading? current after startup i have to do = 'sudo modprobe ath_pci' and 'sudo ifconfig ath0 up' | 07:47 |
| Frosty|Music | how do i boot into another kernel through ssh console?? | 07:47 |
| m1r | Ubuntu 8.04 alternate cd , i dont see OEM install on boot screen ? | 07:47 |
| bullgard4 | [GNOME] What is the name of the program which will show the icons of all open programs on the current workspace in the middle of the screen, if you press Alt+Tab? | 07:48 |
| Frogzoo | Blice: use a device path ie root=/dev/sda1 | 07:48 |
| lachlan_ | For a user to be able to create a file within a directory, do they need the 'write' permission only? | 07:48 |
| Blice | Frogzoo: What's the right device path for a liveCD though? | 07:49 |
| Frosty|Music | ...how do i change default kernel to RT kernel in ubuntu 8.04 64 bit?? | 07:49 |
| nickrud | LetterRip I'm suprised the kernel isn't loading that module automatically, but you can put it in /etc/modules on a line by itself, and it will be probed at boot. Make sure you have auto ath0 in /etc/network/interfaces, and it should come up automatically | 07:49 |
| JaRDinero | .. | 07:49 |
| LetterRip | nickrud, thanks | 07:50 |
| Frogzoo | Blice: ooh tricky | 07:50 |

| benGoz | Can someone help me with Nvidia driver installation? | 07:51 |
| benGoz | I have a weird problem | 07:51 |
| Blice | Frogzoo: Very... With an 8.04 livecd, is there a way to see the current kernel line it's using? | 07:51 |
| Blice | So I can just edit that? | 07:52 |
| m1r | Flannel: yes , it has moved there :) tnx for help m8 | 07:52 |
| Flannel | Frosty|Music: After installing the real time kernel, you have a few options, savedefault, removing generic, or changing default to 1 instead of 0 (real time will be listed after generic, assuming they always get updated at the same time, it'll always be second) | 07:53 |
| YourSoul | hallo | 07:54 |
| sandman | hi..i recently edited my fstab..now i cant access my partitions..and the places menu shows clones for each partition | 07:54 |
| JerKB | sandman: can you pastebin your /etc/fstab? | 07:56 |
| benGoz | I did a manual install of nvidia drivers because i couldn't get virtual consoles with nvidia-glx, or nvidia-glx-new, and it works great, but i have to reinstall it every time i reboot. | 07:57 |
| Frosty|Music | flannel, how do i change the default kernel index? lilo.conf doesn't exist, and neither does /boot/grub/menu.lst | 07:58 |
| Frosty|Music | (/etc/lilo.conf) | 07:58 |
| Flannel | Frosty|Music: /boot/grub/menu.lst does exist, or at least, assuming you're on Ubuntu | 07:58 |
| Frosty|Music | i assure you that it does not exist =) | 07:59 |
| Frosty|Music | its using lilo as bootloader | 07:59 |
| Frosty|Music | (this is on a virtual server from slicehost) | 07:59 |
| Flannel | Frosty|Music: Ah, Well, I have no idea how you'd do it with lilo. I haven't used lilo in ages. | 07:59 |
| Frosty|Music | problem is i need to find lilo.conf | 07:59 |
| LetterRip | whoever made the suggestion - thanks it worked; adding ath_pci to modprobe made it work | 07:59 |
| aldin | hi, is there some OSS app that uses postfix log file and inserts in in to database - so i could manipulate with data querying? | 08:00 |
| benGoz | @Frosty, have you tried Places -> Search For Files... -> and search for lilo.conf in filesystem? | 08:01 |

| benGoz | Maybe try locate lilo.conf | 08:04 |
| Frosty|Music | well ... lemme ask dif question then | 08:04 |

| DistroJockey | cd'd^ | 08:14 |
| m1r | snarkster: it can be done even with 128 but not recomended | 08:14 |
| snarkster | m1r: ah thank you that explains why i cant get the live cd to work on that old cisco wifi manager system. | 08:14 |
| pan23423 | i have not tried that yet | 08:15 |
| snarkster | and what is the maximum memory amount | 08:15 |
| pan23423 | but i can't choose where i want to put it? | 08:15 |
| pan23423 | extract? | 08:15 |
| pan23423 | i have to put it in that dir? | 08:15 |
| DistroJockey | pan23423, use ./ | 08:15 |
| Garibaldi_nor | is it any maximum amount of ram in linux ? | 08:15 |
| m1r | snarkster: how much memory that have ? | 08:15 |
| pan23423 | ok | 08:15 |
| snarkster | i have heard somewhere that the max memory is 3gb | 08:15 |
| m1r | snarkster: for 32bit yes, for 64bit 3gb+ | 08:16 |
| Garibaldi_nor | I'v heard unlimited =P | 08:16 |
| snarkster | m1r the cisco wifi manager current has 128 but it doesnt work. just hangs up as soon as the desktop appears | 08:16 |
| Garibaldi_nor | ok | 08:16 |
| DistroJockey | pan23423, ahh, I see what you mean. Yeah, might be easier to copy it to ~/src/VMWare | 08:16 |
| pan23423 | ok | 08:17 |
| m1r | snarkster: using livecd ? | 08:17 |
| snarkster | m1r yup | 08:17 |
| DistroJockey | pan23423, ./ = current directory | 08:17 |
| pan23423 | is there a way where i can do it any other way? besides that? | 08:17 |
| pan23423 | current directory is Desktop | 08:17 |
| pan23423 | i downloaded it to desktop | 08:17 |
| m1r | snarkster: download alternate cd and install from that , then if gnome dont work, try other window manger as openbox, or just go with xubuntu altenratte cd | 08:18 |

| jdavie | Hi, I'm having a problem with my USB transfer speed. It will start at around 11M/s, quickly drop to around 4M/s and then slowly drop from there. Any ideas on what could be wrong? | 08:24 |
| DistroJockey | dalla, some what imported? | 08:24 |
| nickrud | macgyverdgi sudo apt-get install flashplugin-nonfree for ubuntu, probably same in debian (haven't looked recentlly) , and you should add libflashsupport as well | 08:25 |
| bullgard4 | nickrud: I take it as a subprogram of Metacity. But some subprograms have their own names. I'd like to know this name. | 08:25 |
| dalla | emerald them e i have some themes imported how i use them | 08:25 |
| DistroJockey | dalla, well, your emerald is currently broken, so I guess you don't | 08:25 |
| nickrud | bullgard4 nope, not a subprogram for metacity. various plugins in compiz give that functionality | 08:25 |
| dalla | how do u know my emerald b roken | 08:25 |
| Hiho | Hi everyone, Is it possible to change the system username, like the one to long in with or could I delete the entire one I'm in now and create a new one | 08:26 |
| DistroJockey | dalla, well, you had to replace it with metacity to see window borders | 08:26 |
| === spirit2_ is now known as FuDGe | ||
| === FuDGe is now known as FuDGe` | ||
| dalla | how do i fix emerald | 08:27 |
| === FuDGe` is now known as FuDGe2 | ||
| DistroJockey | dalla, ok, first try this agin: emerald --replace | 08:27 |
| dalla | oh and now i can enable the efects that \ i had enabled | 08:28 |
| dalla | that dont work | 08:28 |
| bullgard4 | nickrud: Are you sure that it is a compiz plugin? I do not use Compiz. And GNOME did provide this functionality already before Compiz was borne. | 08:28 |
| dalla | cus my efects cant be enabled | 08:28 |
| benGoz | compiz --replace? | 08:28 |
| benGoz | without the question mark | 08:28 |
| DistroJockey | dalla, then you need better drivers for your video card | 08:29 |
| nickrud | bullgard4 metacity and compiz are two different window managers, I was simply mentioning both. metacity is the normal, gnome affiliated window manager, yes | 08:29 |

| Salmus | Hello | 08:36 |
| dalla | how do i instal laptop vid drivers | 08:36 |
| Salmus | Hi ! Any brilliant ideea about protecting against syn flood attacks ? I've tried alot of things, no luck | 08:36 |
| Salmus | Including limiting the time of syn queue | 08:36 |
| Salmus | my server just hangs | 08:36 |
| DistroJockey | dalla, more info needed. Like what video chipset it has or atleast the laptop model | 08:36 |
| ubunubi | salmus:: it's normally the job of your firewall to decent the flood and initiate filtering then | 08:37 |
| ubunubi | salmus:: detect* | 08:37 |
| dalla | Extensa 5620-6830 | 08:37 |
| Salmus | ubunubi - I'm using hand make firewall (bash script) any ideeas ? | 08:37 |
| DistroJockey | ubunubi, what do you mean by double echo? | 08:37 |
| Salmus | Syn floods can also be spoofed ... my firewall can't do much things | 08:37 |
| ubunubi | Distrojockey:: Starting Samba Deamons...Starting Samba Daemons...[OK] ...Starting xinted Starting xinetd [OK] | 08:38 |
| ubunubi | DistroJockey: for everything | 08:38 |
| DistroJockey | ubunubi, ohh, odd | 08:39 |
| unop | Salmus, what does your "hand-made firewall" actually do? | 08:39 |
| ubunubi | distrojockey:: it first started when ubuntu notifier suggested i upgrade my kernel...then it bugged me enough i reloaded a backup i had, and haven't reupgraded....now it's started again after updating my initramfs | 08:39 |
| Salmus | Filtering ports | 08:39 |
| dalla | Extensa 5620-6830 | 08:40 |
| negge^ | ubunubi: you mean you get double lines for everything? | 08:40 |
| ubunubi | salmus: sorry that isn't my area of expertise :) i'm not sure what the proprietary method hardware firewalls use to "determine" when there is an attempt DDoS attack | 08:40 |
| DistroJockey | dalla, ok, looks like you have a Intel® Graphics Media Accelerator X3100 | 08:40 |
| ubunubi | rnegge^:: yes | 08:40 |
| Schizoid-SPD | i'm a bit concerned about the speed i get with firewire 400, it's only 22.8 MB/sec | 08:40 |
| unop | Salmus, yes, that's already implied - it's the job of a firewall to do that -- but what exactly is the script doing? | 08:40 |
| negge^ | ubunubi: I have the same problem on my Eee, would like a solution myself | 08:40 |
| komputer13 | Romeo | 08:40 |
| DistroJockey | ubunubi, negge^ : not familiar with that issue sorry | 08:41 |
| ubunubi | negge^:: i've narrowed it down the initramfs being built..but not sure what's causing it | 08:41 |
| invictus | can I ask a quick question regarding Compiz? | 08:41 |
| negge^ | ubunubi: okay. Are you on Hardy? | 08:41 |
| dalla | ya | 08:41 |
| ubunubi | negge^::yes | 08:41 |
| negge^ | ubunubi: okay I'm on gutsy so it must be an old problem | 08:41 |
| negge^ | never bothered me that much though | 08:41 |
| ubunubi | negge^::i'm just worried that it could imply something else is wrong or not running efficiently | 08:42 |
| ubunubi | negge^:: normally a sign when things aren't doing what they're supposed to :P | 08:42 |
| DistroJockey | dalla, this thread may be worth a look: http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?p=3451249 | 08:42 |

| DistroJockey | invictus, sure, as long as it's Ubuntu related :) | 08:43 |
| macgyverdgi | nickrud: yeah the apt-get install flashplugin-nonfree gave me the file install_flash_player_9_linux.tar.gz, but I cant get any where with it | 08:43 |
| unop | ubunubi, does this happen when you manually stop/start a service too?? i.e. sudo /etc/init.d/samba restart | 08:44 |
| invictus | oh it is, i actually just got 8.04 and installed the compiz manager... well the issue is that i can't get "desktop cube" to work... every other plugin seems to be working just fine. | 08:44 |
| invictus | any suggestions? | 08:44 |
| ubunubi | unop: no, only when booting | 08:44 |
| === komputer13 is now known as BamBoo | ||
| ubunubi | unop: and it's everything loaded while the splash screen is up (after hardware detection)...i just used samba and xinetd as examples | 08:44 |
| unop | macgyverdgi, that command should have extracted the tarball and installed it for you | 08:45 |
| DistroJockey | invictus, what is the issue with the cude? | 08:45 |
| DistroJockey | cube^ | 08:45 |
| invictus | it won't initiate | 08:45 |
| invictus | i have the triggers set up just right | 08:45 |
| invictus | so it's not the matter of me not pressing the right buttons... and every other plugin works too... so having hard time pin pointing the issue here | 08:45 |
| macgyverdgi | nickrud: nope, because I have shockwave flash, witch I want to delete | 08:46 |

| unop | ubunubi, i'm sure it will, even i wouldn't try that :) | 08:48 |
| ubunubi | unop:: what file determines that processes are called during that portion of the boot process? | 08:48 |
| unop | ubunubi, process 1 aka init | 08:49 |
| ubunubi | unop:: i looked in /etc/init.d and there are no duplicates | 08:49 |
| ubunubi | unop:: where is the init script located | 08:49 |
| macgyverdgi | nickrud: u still there ? | 08:50 |
| unop | ubunubi, my guess is that the log_progress_msg() function in the initscripts is somehow being called twice for each init script -not sure why (and where) | 08:50 |
| === komputer13 is now known as bamboo | ||
| unop | ubunubi, this command should tell you. which init | 08:51 |

| DistroJockey | aolaus, and either tick the box for or click the button or both | 08:57 |
| ubunubi | the double echo was fixed by setting CONCURRENCY=none in /etc/init.d/rc | 08:58 |
| DistroJockey | ubunubi, ahh, the default ;) | 08:58 |
| aolaus | ok, does that work for only applications or will it automatically open documents as well | 08:58 |
| DistroJockey | aolaus, not too sure, never used it | 08:59 |
| ubunubi | distrojockey:: i've used concurrency=shell for this kernel and all others for months without the double echo ;P only creating a new initramfs while it is set causes the issue | 08:59 |
| aolaus | can I like | 09:00 |
| ubunubi | either through a kernel upgrade or other updating | 09:00 |

| blame | anything in particular that has to be done in order to upgrade ubuntu from 8,04 to 8,04,1 ? | 09:39 |
| unop | ripps, i used it as an example - find out what the process is actually called | 09:39 |
| LSD|Ninja | blame: the update manager should prompt you, it should be fairly painless | 09:39 |
| ripps | unop: I can't figure out which one it is | 09:39 |
| polygon89 | blame, just run update manager, its nothing major. just regular updates | 09:39 |
| LSD|Ninja | ripps: what exactly is hte problem you're trying to script around? | 09:39 |
| unop | ripps, ps aux | grep -i notification # how many results do you get returned? | 09:39 |
| Bogaurd | I'm trying to assemble a raid5 array with mdadm that I've brought over from another system - mdadm won't assemble it because it wasnt built for this host, even when i use the --auto-update-homehost flag... any ideas? | 09:39 |
| bartonello | unop, I don`t know, it`s daemon work) | 09:40 |
| blame | it downloaded some stuff today -- it didn't prompt me for an "upgrade" | 09:40 |
| polygon89 | blame, its not a dist upgrade, its just regular updates. if you install all available updates then the version number just changes | 09:40 |

| Mr_SpOOn | in which file is the PATH variable set? | 09:41 |
| unop | bartonello, my guess is that whatever process that is creating directories is requesting that new directories be opened with 711 permissions -- you might like to clarify this with the guys in #bash | 09:41 |
| r3dluv | anyone who can help me to solve the problem about configuring mail server, please pm with me. thanks | 09:42 |
| unop | ripps, are you writing a startup script? | 09:42 |
| blame | polygon89: well after today's updates it does show "DISTRIB_DESCRIPTION="Ubuntu 8.04.1" so I gues you're right | 09:42 |
| Bubulle | r3dluv, ok engage pd with me, no promess though | 09:43 |
| ripps | unop: pidgin always starts up before the notification area,a nd it fails to started in the system tray. But if it's started after the system tray is loaded, it will start directly as a tray icon. | 09:43 |
| bartonello | unop, thanks, i`ll try #bash | 09:44 |
| ng0L | Hi, Why my ubuntu always cut the connection off whenever i use web browser? | 09:44 |
| Fredrikon | what browser do you use? | 09:44 |
| unop | ripps, if it is a startup script you are writing - then this ought to work. while ! pidof gnome-panel; do sleep 1; done ; sleep 5 && pidgin & | 09:44 |
| ng0L | Fredrikon: firefox | 09:44 |
| ng0L | Fredrikon: It doesnt matter what browser i use, they're all the same. | 09:45 |
| armon_ | does anyone know how to solve : _XGetXCBBuffer: Assertion `((int) ((xcb_req) - (dpy->request)) >= 0)' failed. | 09:45 |
| unop | ripps, just make sure you disable pidgin from automatically starting up already - by some other means - otherwise you will have two instances of pidgin starting up | 09:45 |
| ng0L | Fredrikon: I think it is not about sth wrong with browser, but the ubuntu | 09:45 |
| ng0L | I | 09:45 |
| Fredrikon | NgOl: yeah, pro b since you can connect with irc | 09:45 |
| unop | armon_, where do you see this message? | 09:46 |
| ng0L | Fredrikon: why? | 09:46 |
| ripps | unop: I plan on replacing it with the script. | 09:46 |
| armon_ | unop, when i am running a GTK+ program I wrote | 09:46 |
| unop | ripps, right, that ought to do then | 09:47 |
| ripps | unop: thanks, I'll check to see if this works with another program I can stop then start to see if it works. | 09:47 |
| unop | armon_, you should /join #gtk | 09:47 |
| armon_ | unop, there's not many people there~ | 09:48 |
| ripps | unop: it worked with the mixer_applet2. I'll check to see if it works with gnome-panel after reboot. | 09:49 |
| DistroJockey | armon_, you could try: http://www.gtkforums.com/ | 09:50 |
| unop | armon_, does the number of people in a channel dictate whether of not you will get the right help? obviously not, that is the right channel to ask your question - people in here are not developers | 09:50 |
| armon_ | unop, there's not many people there~ | 09:50 |

| DistroJockey | usr13, nope, sudo apt-get dist-upgrade does that | 10:00 |
| unop | usr13, no, you need sudo do_release_upgrade | 10:00 |
| usr13 | DistroJockey: Oh. Ok. | 10:00 |
| unop | usr13, it's better to use do_release_upgrade than apt-get dist-upgrade | 10:01 |

| DistroJockey | unop, is my statement correct. Ahh, I see that mesage | 10:01 |
| gordonjcp | usr13: "upgrade" upgrades the packages to the newest versions from the repos, "dist-upgrade" does the same but handles dependencies properly | 10:01 |
| gordonjcp | usr13: "dist-upgrade" is nearly always what you want | 10:02 |
| usr13 | so do_release_upgrade and dist-upgrade | 10:02 |
| usr13 | are not the same? | 10:02 |
| unop | DistroJockey, well, it is correct in the debian world -- perhaps not so much in ubuntu | 10:02 |
| unop | usr13, they are not the same thing, but they achieve the same thing - just differently | 10:03 |

| Garibaldi_nor | Hi folks! Yesterday I installed Xubuntu 8.0.4. Played around and installed xmms, k3b etc without help! Have also made firefox to play flash things, but still got one more thing to do. Java. Have googled around and tried different things to get this working, but no. Have anyone idea what to do ? | 10:04 |
| microwaver | DistroJockey, got some beginners questions. (lol you seem to be everywhere) | 10:04 |
| Garibaldi_nor | Greetings from Norway ;) | 10:04 |
| DistroJockey | unop, I don't upgrade though :) | 10:04 |
| gordonjcp | !java | Garibaldi_nor | 10:04 |
| ubottu | Garibaldi_nor: To install a Java runtime/interpreter on Ubuntu, look at https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Java - For the Sun Java runtime install sun-java6-jre from the !Multiverse repository | 10:04 |
| usr13 | Sorry, what I ment to say is: apt-get upgrade and apt-get do_release_upgrade are not the same? Right? | 10:04 |
| unop | DistroJockey, let me guess - you always do a fresh install? | 10:05 |
| DistroJockey | microwaver, heh, ask away :) | 10:05 |
| gordonjcp | usr13: no | 10:05 |
| DistroJockey | unop, yep | 10:05 |
| dr_Willis | Garibaldi_nor, i normally just install the 'ubuntu-restricted-extras' package and it sets up most all that stuff. :) it may be 'xubuntu-restricted-extras' in your case | 10:05 |
| unop | usr13, no , apt-get do_release_upgrade is not even valid | 10:05 |
| usr13 | do_release_upgrade is better option? | 10:05 |
| Kartagis | http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?p=4901641 <--- I downloaded a printer driver from mentioned page in this page, however printer's papersize settings are messed up when i send a document. any ideas why? | 10:05 |

| kiosk | ... | 10:06 |
| Buyydee | After installing openssh_server, do I need to configure it? I want a friend to be able to remotely access some specific folders on my computer, is ssh the best way? I could find a very detailed tutorial how to use ssh clients in the ubuntu wiki, but not about the server... | 10:06 |
| microwaver | DistroJockey, http://pastebin.com/m2408292c is one of my shares, the other person wants to access it (username on his pc = god assassin but he always gets access denied) | 10:06 |
| usr13 | sudo: do_release_upgrade: command not found | 10:06 |
| DistroJockey | microwaver, bad username for a start (it has a space in it) | 10:07 |
| Garibaldi_nor | dr_Willis: Installed xubuntu-restricted-extras, but no luck. Anymore ideas ? | 10:07 |
| ubunubi | microwaver::i'd start by not using user names with spaces, escape characters, or special ascii codes. they'll only complicate matters | 10:07 |
| unop | Buyydee, the only configuration you probably need is to allow the ssh server to be accessible from the internet | 10:07 |
| jhaig | Sorry if this question has been asked already a dozen times. Will Hardy automatically update to 8.04.1 LTS, which was released today? | 10:07 |
| dr_Willis | Garibaldi_nor, read/follow the !java factoid i guess | 10:07 |
| usr13 | I guess I'll go with sudo apt-get upgrade | 10:07 |
| usr13 | for now... | 10:07 |
| microwaver | ubunubi, DistroJockey thought about that, so the fastest solution is letting him make a user on HIS pc without a space? | 10:07 |
| DistroJockey | microwaver, yep, I think so | 10:08 |
| Buyydee | unop: Well, my port 21 for ssh is open, is there anything else that has to be done? | 10:08 |
| unop | usr13, see the upgrade notes that ubottu told you about | 10:08 |
| Garibaldi_nor | !java | 10:08 |
| ubottu | To install a Java runtime/interpreter on Ubuntu, look at https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Java - For the Sun Java runtime install sun-java6-jre from the !Multiverse repository | 10:08 |
| ubunubi | microwaver:: preferably. did you also set him up a samba account/password on your machine? | 10:08 |
| interactive | how to start ubuntu without gdm, but with some app instead? | 10:08 |
| usr13 | It says: "The following packages have been kept back: linux-headers-generic linux-image-generic linux-restricted-modules-generic openssh-client openssh-server ssl-cert" | 10:09 |
| usr13 | Is that anything to be concerned about? | 10:09 |
| ubunubi | microwaver:: actually, dont have him change this windows account. it could lead to him being locked out of My Documents Folder | 10:09 |
| Garibaldi_nor | dr_Willis: Ok thanks, installing sun-java6-jre now from the Multiverse repository | 10:09 |
| dr_Willis | interactive, which other app? 'sudo dpkg-reconfigure gdm' to change *dm managers | 10:09 |
| DistroJockey | usr1 | 10:09 |
| DistroJockey | oops | 10:09 |
| unop | Buyydee, you mean 22 not 21 righr? | 10:09 |
| unop | right* | 10:09 |
| Appiah | I'm experimenting with Terminal Server , I'd like to disable all users in a certain group to run "xterm" . Is there a easy way to do this? | 10:09 |
| unop | Buyydee, that should be it | 10:09 |
| interactive | dr_Willis: i hust want to start one app instead of any window manager | 10:09 |
| microwaver | ubunubi, nope did not yet do that. but I wanted him to make a NEW useer, instead of changing his one now | 10:09 |
| DistroJockey | usr13, I'd wait a bit before upgrading and try again later | 10:09 |
| interactive | j* | 10:09 |
| Buyydee | unop: It's been quite some time since my last port scan, but I think it was 21... | 10:10 |
| dr_Willis | interactive, you can easially create a 'Whatever.desktop' file that launches a specific app when you login, instead of gnome or kde or whatever. | 10:10 |
| unop | Buyydee, 21 is telnet not ssh -- you need port 22 open | 10:10 |
| ubunubi | microwaver:: did you sudo smbpasswd -a USERNAME and create him a username with no spaces? | 10:10 |
| usr13 | !upgrade | 10:11 |
| ubottu | For upgrading, see the instructions at https://help.ubuntu.com/community/UpgradeNotes | 10:11 |
| dr_Willis | interactive, that dosent have a lot to do with 'starting without gdm' You COULD not use gdm, and edit/make a .xinitrc that launches what you want and use 'startx' also from the console | 10:11 |
| Buyydee | unop: 22 isn't open, I just checked. Sorry. How would I change this? | 10:11 |
| Garibaldi_nor | dr_Willis: Hmmm.. no luck on the instrucions you gave me.. Last time (1year ago) I also had problems with java. But don't remember how... =/ | 10:11 |
| unop | Buyydee, it's open if the sshd is running -- but you probably need to setup port-forwarding for port 22 on your router/firewall | 10:12 |

| ubunubi | microwaver:: no, not this way | 10:12 |
| Buyydee | Garibaldi_nor: First off I would disable compiz, there's always problems with Java. Then go trouble-shooting :) | 10:12 |
| interactive | dr_Willis: ok, here's the problem: i'm configuring a kiosk that will be accessed publicly and i need to prevent users from doing crazy things when (hopefully not) flash app crashes | 10:12 |
| dr_Willis | Garibaldi_nor, you may want to see what 'java --version' or 'java -version' says. and it may be a browser issue. | 10:13 |
| interactive | they must use only the flash app | 10:13 |
| Buyydee | unop: I'm in my university's network, I guess that won't work... | 10:13 |
| Garibaldi_nor | Buyydee: I don't have compiz | 10:13 |
| DistroJockey | usr13, if you after a way for it to do auto updates at a certain frequency, you can look in System - Administration - Software Sources in the Updates tab | 10:13 |
| ubunubi | microwaver:: do:: sudo smbpasswd -a smbusername | 10:13 |
| usr13 | DistroJockey: Are you talking about dist-upgrade? or.... just package upgrades? | 10:13 |
| Buyydee | Garibaldi_nor: Are you sure? It's enabled in ubuntu by default | 10:13 |
| DistroJockey | usr13, just package | 10:13 |
| dr_Willis | interactive, you can set up gdm to auto login, as a specific user, and restart if X crashes. I think theres even some way to make it reset after so long. Theres also a Firefox Kiosk plugin or 2. | 10:13 |

| DistroJockey | Buyydee, why ssh for directory access? Why not ftp? | 10:21 |

| unop | DistroJockey, ftp is dead because it _was_ insecure :) | 10:22 |

| icqnumber | DistroJockey, i know this page, thank you | 10:38 |
| ng0L | usr13: I thought so, but When i use the windows i can display any pages i want and it is not slow tough. | 10:38 |
| dr_Willis | x3, I normally edit that ONE LINE. and set the # to be 2, then you rerun 'sudo update-grub' | 10:39 |
| DistroJockey | icqnumber, no problem, hope it helps | 10:39 |
| Buyydee | Would it be wise to uninstall iptables? | 10:39 |
| dr_Willis | x3, the menu.lst sort of auto-generates from those commented settings when you rerun update-grub | 10:39 |
| usr13 | ng0L: Does your ISP use proxy? | 10:39 |

| doktoreas | thx lclimber | 10:40 |
| numen | what menubar is gnome on hardy using by default? | 10:40 |
| usr13 | ng0L: Look at the windows machine and see if it is using proxy server. | 10:40 |
| ng0L | usr13: No it is not. | 10:40 |
| lclimber | doktoreas, you are welcome, ubuntu hardy included that app on their livecd | 10:40 |
| usr13 | ng0L: Is your DSL pppoe? | 10:40 |
| x3 | dr-willis is there a way to editthat file non command line | 10:40 |
| ng0L | usr13: YES | 10:40 |
| dr_Willis | x3, no idea. I always use a text editor. Its about a 10 sec edit. | 10:41 |
| usr13 | ng0L: Does your DSL modem do the pppoe authentication for you? | 10:41 |
| x3 | kk | 10:41 |
| x3 | let me have a go see if I see logic | 10:41 |
| ng0L | usr13: Yes | 10:41 |
| KenSentMe | How can i add an attachment to an Ubuntu wiki page? | 10:41 |
| usr13 | ng0L: Do you use a router between the DSL modem and your PCs? | 10:42 |
| dr_Willis | x3 change --> # howmany=all to # howmany=2 , save/exit. and rerun 'sudo update-grub' | 10:42 |
| ng0L | usr13: From modem to a hub and from a hub to router and this pc is access directly to router port | 10:42 |
| usr13 | ng0L: Is it a wired router? | 10:42 |
| x3 | dr-willis thing is I have a dual boot with XP on | 10:43 |
| x3 | I hate to loose that | 10:43 |
| ng0L | usr13: Linksys :| | 10:43 |
| dr_Willis | x3, that howmany setting will NOT affect the 'non linux' os entries at all. | 10:43 |
| dr_Willis | x3, it may be worth the time to go to the grub homepag. and read up on grub and its config files. | 10:43 |
| x3 | kk gotcha | 10:44 |
| x3 | thx Ill have a bash | 10:44 |
| dr_Willis | x3, that setting just affects the # of linux kernel Entries shown.. I dont see much need to have 5+ of the things | 10:44 |
| usr13 | ng0L: So, you have your Ubuntu PC connected to a Linksys router which is connected to a hub, which is connected to DSL modem? | 10:44 |
| x3 | yea silly that old entries dont get removed | 10:44 |
| usr13 | ng0L: Is that correct? | 10:44 |
| ng0L | usr13: Yes sir. | 10:45 |
| dr_Willis | x3, not really. its doing what makes sence. You still have the old kernels installed. if you removed them.. then they would get removed from the list also. | 10:45 |
| usr13 | Is your windows PC connected to the same router? | 10:45 |
| x3 | ah | 10:45 |
| usr13 | ng0L: Is your windows PC connected to the same router? | 10:45 |
| x3 | so the question now is why have old kernels installed as well | 10:45 |
| dr_Willis | x3, incase somthing in the new kernel breaks the system. | 10:46 |
| x3 | do I need to have them? | 10:46 |
| ng0L | usr13: they are connected to the switch which is connected from the router. | 10:46 |
| x3 | mmmm | 10:46 |
| usr13 | ng0L: You may have an IP conflict. | 10:46 |
| Buyydee | I'm having problems with connections to my PC. I had iptables unchanged (no rules), then I did this: http://paste.ubuntu.com/24945/ and still I can't ssh myself. What could be the problem here? | 10:46 |

| DistroJockey | ng0L_, true | 11:16 |
| ng0L_ | bazhang: u r asking me? | 11:17 |
| DistroJockey | ng0L_, that's why I mentioned DNS. Very odd | 11:17 |
| bazhang | labalava, for compiz you should ask in #compiz-fusion | 11:17 |
| labalava | compiz fusion? | 11:17 |
| bazhang | ng0L_, yes; does wget work | 11:17 |
| ng0L_ | DistroJockey: if DNS is wrong i think i cannot even be here. | 11:17 |
| ng0L_ | bazhang: i haven't try it yet. because i donno the command. Can you tell me? | 11:18 |

| asfalt | hi all , is there a graphical mount tool for ubuntu hardy? searched with apt-cache but nothing caught my attention, want to see if I can add fresh partition via gui | 11:21 |
| DistroJockey | MartinvDK, can you patebin your /etc/X11/xorg.conf please? | 11:22 |
| bazhang | ng0L_, you wget'd using http, ftp, or other | 11:22 |
| asfalt | it's already formatted, just needs to be mounted | 11:22 |
| ng0L_ | bazhang: I did use http | 11:22 |
| DistroJockey | !pastebin | MartinvDK | 11:22 |
| ubottu | MartinvDK: 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) | 11:22 |
| icqnumber | ubutom, by the way , kopete works good as expected (icq protocol) | 11:23 |
| bazhang | ng0L_, this is gutsy or hardy; home network or uni; wired or wireless (got a firewall yea or nay) | 11:23 |
| ubunubi | asfalt:: you mean you want something to help you configure the new parition in your fstab for automatic mounting? | 11:23 |
| asfalt | ubunubi precisely :) | 11:23 |
| MartinvDK | My xorg.conf: http://pastebin.ubuntu.com/24951/ | 11:24 |
| ng0L_ | bazhang: home network :D | 11:24 |
| ubunubi | asfalt:: download pysdm | 11:24 |
| ubunubi | asfalt:: it's not perfect...so be careful with it..but if you're not being fancy it'll work | 11:24 |

| bazhang | ng0L_, I had more than that one question | 11:24 |
| Melgo | I want to remove xubuntu-desktop(yes, almost everything) but apt-get purge xubuntu-desktop just removes a small metapackage, leaving everything intact. How do I get rid of all these applications? I need to fit the system in under a gigabyte. | 11:24 |
| asfalt | excellent thanks ubunubi | 11:24 |
| ng0L_ | bazhang: I use the wireless router | 11:25 |
| ubunubi | asfalt:: np | 11:25 |
| ubunubi | asfalt:: be as careful with it as you would sudo editing fstab! | 11:25 |
| ng0L_ | bazhang: and not a wireless to access internet, I use wire to access to router. | 11:25 |
| DistroJockey | MartinvDK, you could try doing the sudo dpkg-reconfigure -phigh xserver-xorg after making a backup of /etc/X11/xorg.conf | 11:25 |
| MartinvDK | DistroJockey: ok, I'll try that | 11:25 |
| ng0L_ | gutsy or hardy is? | 11:26 |
| redcrow | MartinvDK, what's the problem? | 11:26 |
| asfalt | ubunubi hmmm the startling thing is wants to "configure" existing partitions :D | 11:26 |
| MartinvDK | It's my ATi driver, it appears it doesn't work.. It worked fine in the previous ubuntu, now (in Hardy), it doesn't work | 11:26 |
| ubunubi | asfalt:: it should only do that for partitions using UUIDs in fstab | 11:27 |
| ng0L_ | brb | 11:27 |
| redcrow | MartinvDK, dri or resolution? | 11:27 |
| bazhang | ng0L_, what version of ubuntu and what version of firefox; how many addons in firefox and what are they | 11:27 |
| bazhang | oy | 11:27 |
| ubunubi | asfalt:: do all your existing paritions use UUIDs instead of /dev/xxx ? | 11:27 |
| ghostknife | Is there some way I can make an installation script for ubuntu? We basically want to ship our software as a preinstalled everything. So something puts in the Ubuntu installation CD, then it runs them through the installation with a single click, only prompting for a few basic details like company name, network config, etc.. ? | 11:27 |
| MartinvDK | I've tried the proprietary drivers fglrx. It's an ATi firegl 5200 | 11:27 |
| asfalt | ubunti let me look at my fstab, i dont think that may be the case | 11:28 |
| redcrow | Martinp23, but...? | 11:28 |
| redcrow | MartinvDK, but...? | 11:28 |
| asfalt | yes they do except for the cdrom | 11:28 |

| dr_Willis | ubunubi, ive neer heard them considered unsafe. I use them all the time to set my labels. | 12:07 |

| dr_Willis | ubunubi, its not one OR the other.. the /dev/device name will work also. | 12:09 |
| DistroJockey | Buyydee, does your /etc/hosts file have a localhost entry? | 12:09 |

The internal IP is 192.168.0.210, now according to my knowledge you are supposed to be able to ping any of those IP addresses. We have a server on the internal network that uses the IP 192.168.0.12, gateway 19 | 13:11 |
| spoonwizard | 2.168.0.3 and DNS is 10.62.26.20 with a external IP of 196.211.188.125, you will be able to see that if you follow this link http://www.eldocoaches.co.za then click on the link.

| arys | ikonia: So when i add it it will not lose data? I will try. Thanks.. Will try now... | 13:30 |
| ikonia | Palme: remove the pacakge, delete /etc/apache2 then re-install | 13:31 |
| ikonia | arys: nah, your not "building" an array - your managing an existing array | 13:31 |

| hunzikea | my kernel list in /boot/grub/menu.lst is not updated automatically anymore, does somebody have an idea why that could be? I had the 2.6.24-19 image installed, but it always booted the 2.6.24-17 kernel | 13:31 |
| jstrake | Hello, just installed Ubuntu 8.04. Install went fine. But need to know how to login as 'root.' | 13:32 |
| jstrake | Newbie... | 13:32 |
| patrik | jstrake: sudo -s | 13:32 |
| patrik | jstrake: and then enter your user password | 13:33 |
| arys | ikonia: Update: When I try to manage and add I get this message .... mdadm: cannot get array info for /dev/md0 | 13:33 |
| jstrake | sorry, I'm using the gnome GUI, where do I enter that info? | 13:33 |
| veo-d2 | is there a channel for webserver related question with ubuntu ? | 13:33 |
| jstrake | (Thanks) | 13:33 |
| ikonia | arys: you need to start the array as degraded first | 13:33 |
| DJones | hunzikea: Just a thought, when I get a kernel update, because I've made changes to menu.lst I get an option to keep my own file, or to use the package maintainers version, do you get that? and if so do you retain your own, I made that mistake first time and had to manually update the file for the new kernel | 13:33 |
| ikonia | arys: or, you could just reboot with the disks connected and it will do it all for you | 13:33 |
| hunzikea | DJones: possible that that's what happened. can i tell ubuntu to take care of the file again in the future? | 13:34 |
| arys | ikonia: I already rebooted with all the disks connected. | 13:34 |
| ikonia | arys: start the array and re-add them then | 13:35 |
| jstrake | patrik, are you still with me? I opened the terminal and ... hold on, checking. | 13:35 |
| DJones | hunzikea: i ended up just using the package maintainers and modifying as necessary, it ended up as less work, it does have options to merge the files, but does say that its experimental so could cause problems | 13:35 |

| arys | ikonia: I get this message: mdadm: failed to run array /dev/md0: Input/output error | 13:37 |

| g33k | tech0007 thanks for the changelog link | 13:48 |
| DJones | jstrake: you could try typing "sudo nautilus" in a terminal followed by your user password, and then using that nautilus gui that starts to copy to /var/www/ BUT, beware you could do damage if you move/delete a file by mistake because you're accessing as root, you'd need to close nautilus once you've finished copying so you don't do something as root by mistake afterwards. The safer method would be as ikonia suggested earlier sudo cp /path/to/original | 13:48 |

| kschultz | Morning guys (east coast USA at least), I'm setting up Ubuntu on my girlfriends laptop for the first time and I'm looking for some opinion on the best way to do it. I'm going to setup a dual boot to let her ease into it. I'm thinking a partition for Ubuntu's /, a partition for Windows XP, and then a shared data partition. Two questions, 1) what file system for the shared data, ext3, ntfs, or fat32? When I was learning the only option w | 14:01 |
| kschultz | as sharing on fat32 but now we have ntfs3g and there is an ext3 plugin for XP. The partition will have about 60 gbs of data so I'm worried about fat32 fragmenting though the stuff we are talking about is mostly static. And 2) Should I make the data partition /home or should I mount it at something like /home/username/data/? If it is ext3 I think I can make it /home but if it is ntfs or fat32 I think it will screw up stuff because it do | 14:01 |
| kschultz | esn't support permissions right? | 14:01 |
| LinuxID10T | 1) fat32 | 14:02 |
| tech0007 | kschultz: /home should always be ext3; data partition i'd go for ntfs | 14:02 |
| tassoman | is there some kind of gifanimator on gnome? | 14:03 |
| LinuxID10T | tech0007: not ntfs, use fat for maximum interoperablity | 14:03 |
| === g33k is now known as CRO|g33k | ||

| LinuxID10T | you should be | 14:03 |
| bazhang | fat32 has file limits size does it not? | 14:03 |
| kschultz | Thats what I'm not sure about | 14:04 |
| tassoman | 2gb limit | 14:04 |
| kschultz | when I did it, I was only sharing a few gb | 14:04 |
| LinuxID10T | not a big deal | 14:04 |
| tassoman | and no more 128 gigs for fs | 14:04 |
| tassoman | i think | 14:04 |
| LinuxID10T | 2 gig a file | 14:04 |
| tassoman | yepp | 14:04 |
| LinuxID10T | but the filesystem can be larger | 14:04 |

| xaustenx_ | are there any good third part gfx card drivers for ubuntu? these nvidia official ones aren't cutting it for me | 14:29 |

| berent | bazhang: i gave remove command. but when i open the browser at top it is firefox3 beta 5 | 14:29 |
| bazhang | kde_pepo, you want your own repos? | 14:30 |
| icewaterman | alnokta2: the numbers are easily remembered if you know how it is implemented: its is a binary number each bit a flag and the total number is what you need for chmod. 7 for instance is binary 111 which means all flags (read, write, execute) are set. | 14:30 |

| zhaozhou | Xpistos, do 'ls /usr/bin | grep firefox' | 14:49 |

| geek_inn2 | first it used to | 14:51 |

| carma | but when I change the link on the website to go to that IP then its not working... | 14:51 |
| zhaozhou | carma, Easiest way to NAT is to MASQUERADE, but if you have a static IP, it wont matter. | 14:51 |

| doktoreas | Hello | 14:54 |
| hunzikea | recently, my laptop fails waking up from suspend to ram. i followed the guide in the wiki (https://wiki.ubuntu.com/DebuggingKernelSuspend) and got the following out: [ 18.230778] Magic number: 0:731:232 | 14:54 |

| zhaozhou | carma, Firstly, care to pastebin your iptables rules? And have you enabled forwarding? (/proc/sys/net/ipv4/conf/forwarding, i think.) | 14:54 |
| hunzikea | can anybody help? | 14:54 |
| Buyydee | zhaozhou: Could I chmod my home folder to be non-accessable and then change the folder inside of it and he would still see it? Or would this require a link from his home folder? | 14:54 |

| ubottu | carma, please see my private message | 14:55 |
| zhaozhou | Buyydee, You can do that, simply making them non-readably by others, that's no problem at all. But he will still be able to scroll around the system like you can. | 14:56 |
| Buyydee | Jagatuba: There's something called 'keyring' in ubuntu. You should enable that | 14:56 |
| mgolisch | Jagatuba: thats because networkmanager didnt save the wlan key in the login keyring | 14:56 |
| hunzikea | bazhang: sorry, i don't get it | 14:56 |
| Jagatuba | how do I enable that | 14:56 |
| mgolisch | so you have to unlock the default keyring networkmanager saved the wlan key into on every boot | 14:56 |
| mgolisch | theres hints on the web in howto change that | 14:57 |

| atrus | zetheroo: i dunno, mine's a couple years old or so. but they've got newer fancier models out now which are generally well supported. the wintv branded stuff (made my hauppague) is generally good. if you get one with "pvr" or otherwise with hardware encoding, odds are good. you might verify a particular model with #mythtv-users, the mythtv wiki, or just googling for: <model> linux :) | 15:12 |
| Jack_Sparrow | geek_inn2 The drives can get locked down by windows and will come up as redad only | 15:12 |

| Loofemmaps | what key/button is <super>? | 15:15 |
| atrus | zetheroo: the other thing that i really liked about this set is it comes with a usb IR reciever and a usb IR transmitter. might not be important to you now, but if that analog signal dissapears, you'll need something to automatically change the channels on the converter box you'll need to buy later (or digital set-top box, or satellite reciever, etc) | 15:15 |

| gnubie | chong, http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=432295&highlight=skype see if this helps | 15:17 |
| atrus | zetheroo: yeah, so this one comes with a remote, and you can set up your computer to respond to it. OUTPUT is so that your computer can act as a remote, so if you your tuner is connected to an external reciever box, your software will be able to control the channel it's tuned to. | 15:18 |

| zhaozhou | YeaSt, Yes, you can. | 15:25 |
| chong | gnubie: ok, will try. | 15:25 |
| Jack_Sparrow | YeaSt make a backup so in case you have issues in 64 you can get back | 15:25 |
| chong | gnubie: is it also started by 'skype'? | 15:26 |
| YeaSt | zhaozhou: so the home dir should be no difference in 32 or 64 bit system, right? | 15:26 |
| ilya0035745 | yeah, after the reboot, there ttyUSB0 has appeared. So, I guess this file will live there by now... Earlier, there were no such a device, and command dmesg has shown this device for my siemens m50 through pl....- converter. I guess everything is ok | 15:26 |

| zhaozhou | YeaSt, Not unless you have a bunch of binary executables in there, but if you did not create them yourself, you do not own such a file. | 15:26 |
| Jack_Sparrow | YeaSt I think you will have problems.. but feel free to try it | 15:26 |
| gnubie | chong, I use the icon in the internet apps , which is just skype | 15:27 |
| zhaozhou | Jack_Sparrow, why would there be problems? | 15:27 |
| YeaSt | Jack_Spar: you r saying I will run into problem but you do not what kind of problem? | 15:27 |

| Jack_Sparrow | sharperguy it can take hours | 15:32 |
| sharperguy | Jack_Sparrow, yeah ok | 15:33 |
| tech0007 | chong: how did u install it? | 15:33 |
| zhaozhou | tj83, true. ;) | 15:33 |
| chong | tech0007: by installing the ia32 packages and getting the 32 bit ver .deb from skype.com iirc | 15:33 |
| Jack_Sparrow | chong that is part of the problem when people install something on their own, we have no way of knowing where all the pieces went or what packages were installed from alternate sources | 15:33 |
| zhaozhou | Oh, and whilst the topic is memory, does anyone have experiences with ECC memories? | 15:34 |
| tech0007 | chong: if u installed it from a deb file, you can use apt-get or dpkg | 15:34 |
| zhaozhou | I just bought a server with 2 gigs of ECC, wondering if it's worth it. | 15:34 |
| chong | tech0007: well, as apt-get doesnt work, i guess i didn't use a .deb | 15:34 |
| Jack_Sparrow | zhaozhou Sounds more like a topic for -server or #Hardware | 15:35 |
| chong | tech0007: im just concerned since im about to get the mediabuntu skype, and i dunno if it will conflict and stuff | 15:35 |

| kirrus | ne2k__, the problem is the filesystem access would become really complicated... You can do it if you have a standard install of Ubuntu, in its own partition | 16:05 |
| f0xy_p1r4t3s | here you again leonedu | 16:06 |
| Hondo_Kitsune | Leefmc: You'd need the PPC version of Ubuntu as far as i am aware | 16:06 |
| sinan | Hondo_Kitsune: no i prefer the free stuff :P | 16:06 |
| bazhang | Hondo_Kitsune, mac pro is intel | 16:06 |
| Jack_Sparrow | !ppc | 16:06 |
| ubottu | PowerPC. Formerly used by Apple for the Macintosh line of computers. Variants are now used in popular gaming consoles. PPC was a fully supported Ubuntu architecture up to and including edgy. It is now a community port, see https://wiki.ubuntu.com/PowerPCFAQ | 16:06 |
| Leefmc | Hondo_Kitsune: I thought Current gen Mac Pro's ran intel | 16:06 |
| jochmenDS | reinstall, you mean it killed the bootloader fixmbr? | 16:06 |
| ne2k__ | kirrus: why can't I just point it at the partition all the same? windows isn't going to do anything to my loopback file | 16:06 |
| leonedu | Hi,sorry,I just saw it. | 16:06 |
| Leefmc | -' | 16:06 |
| leonedu | Good evening. | 16:06 |
| Hondo_Kitsune | Leefmc: I was thinking of older ones | 16:06 |
| Leefmc | Hondo_Kitsune: Gotcha, what about the newer ones? | 16:07 |
| leonedu | I don't what time it is there. | 16:07 |
| ne2k__ | kirrus: obviously, if it did, it would cause mayhem | 16:07 |
| bazhang | all Mac Pro are intel | 16:07 |
| f0xy_p1r4t3s | where are you actually? | 16:07 |
| Hondo_Kitsune | Leefmc: They are intel, so installation should be a dawdle. Google for some tutorials. they should be easy to follow. It can be done | 16:07 |
| kirrus | ne2k__, you're running Linux off your active windows partition - you can't then use Linux to mount the windows partiton in a VM, because Linux is using it | 16:07 |
| Asa_A | ne2k__: any VM you use will use virtual hardware, which windows will see as a change in hardware. I'm sure this will cause problems, which might invole making your windows stop working for violating the license by transering it to another PC (as far as M$ is concerned the hardware all changed at once). | 16:07 |
| kirrus | Asa_A, there is ways around that | 16:07 |
| bazhang | f0xy_p1r4t3s, this is not a chat channel | 16:07 |
| kirrus | documented ways | 16:07 |
| ne2k__ | kirrus: but the VM doesn't "mount" the partition, it does raw access to the device, no? | 16:08 |
| kirrus | f0xy_p1r4t3s, #ubuntu-offtopic | 16:08 |
| f0xy_p1r4t3s | ok2 | 16:08 |
| kirrus | ne2k__, it mounts it | 16:08 |
| Leefmc | Hondo_Kitsune: They are intel, but i read about issues and requirements that ubuntu be 64bit, etc. But it was all sort of old info, so i didnt know if its current. I think i'll post on the forums then, because i really dont want to Brick my Mac Pro. | 16:08 |
| ne2k__ | kirrus: there wouldn't be any point in the VM "mounting" it, because it wouldn't be able to do anything raw to the disk | 16:08 |
| Hondo_Kitsune | Leefmc: Good idea | 16:08 |
| Cyndrework | looking for a replacement for macromedia | 16:09 |
| ne2k__ | kirrus: for example, the virtual bios wouldn't know how to read the mbr | 16:09 |
| bazhang | !equivalents | 16:09 |
| ubottu | A comprehensive list of of Windows-equivalent applications in Linux can be found at http://www.linuxrsp.ru/win-lin-soft/table-eng.html and https://wiki.ubuntu.com/WhatWindowsUsersWant | 16:09 |
| kirrus | ne2k__, it won't work ;) | 16:09 |
| Jack_Sparrow | Leefmc run 32 bit live and test it.. it wont do anything to your mac | 16:09 |
| bazhang | Cyndrework, ^^ | 16:09 |
| Leefmc | Jack_Sparrow: Yea, but although i like the Live, long term stability is hard to test | 16:09 |
| Crucial | Hello, I'm trying to install Ubuntu 8.04. I have downloaded it, md5sum hash checked it, performed the CD self check on the Boot Menu. I have encountered some problems - after I selected Try without installing and the loading began, the bar stopped moving at some point... So I found out how to make it show the text instead of the bar moving side to side. I have as complete a log of what it says as I was able to make. The log | 16:10 |
| Leefmc | Jack_Sparrow: For a server, heh | 16:10 |
| Jack_Sparrow | Leefmc look into persistent mode.. keep changes upgeades on usb stick | 16:10 |
| kirrus | ne2k__, its not a case of mbrs and bios, its a case of locking the partition | 16:10 |
| Cyndrework | bazhang: ty | 16:10 |
| Leefmc | Jack_Sparrow: Interesting | 16:10 |
| f0xy_p1r4t3s | any idea about c++ compiler for linux? | 16:10 |

| bazhang | f0xy_p1r4t3s, install build-essential | 16:11 |
| ne2k__ | kirrus: I'm convinced that vmware used to be able to do it when I used it years ago. | 16:11 |
| Crucial | Ok, I'll check it out | 16:11 |
| YeaSt | has anyone install 8.0.4.1 | 16:11 |
| Leefmc | Jack_Sparrow: I mean hell, the mac pro can be a bit of a pain though. It doesn't even have an eject tray button. So i literally have no idea how i could boot from cd with a blank harddrive haha | 16:12 |
| ne2k__ | kirrus: virtualbox won't let me add /dev/hda1 as a partition to boot from. it seems to want a .vdi or .vmdk file only | 16:12 |
| bazhang | YeaSt, if you are up to date then yes | 16:12 |
| jbroome | YeaSt: i have a regular.. oh, bazhang beat me to it | 16:12 |
| kirrus | ne2k__, you can't do it in virtualbox, from memory, only VMware | 16:12 |
| Jack_Sparrow | Leefmc there is a keycode to press to boot from it | 16:12 |
| tech0007 | YeaSt: 8.04.1 is hardy w/ all the updates | 16:12 |
| Asa_A | Is there a way I can force all PulseAudio sounds to use a specific output device? I've set the device I want as the default, but Pidgin doesn't change and I have to change Miro as I start each video. | 16:12 |

| nonewmsgs | Jack_Sparrow, i still cannot connect. i have tried even accessing it using localhost and the computer next to it | 16:13 |
| sobersabre | hi guys, when will pidgin 2.4.3 reach hardy-updates ? | 16:13 |
| sobersabre | or hardy-backports ? | 16:13 |
| ne2k__ | kirrus: that suX0rz ;-) | 16:13 |
| bazhang | sobersabre, sometime soon | 16:13 |
| sobersabre | bazhang: measured in which units ? | 16:13 |
| mad_max02 | how can I share folder to windows users ??? | 16:13 |
| Leefmc | Jack_Sparrow: Perhaps the keycode to open the cd try is non-os dependent, not sure though | 16:13 |
| tech0007 | sobersabre: if u cant wait get it from getdeb.net | 16:13 |
| Leefmc | tray* | 16:13 |
| Crucial | Do I just click paste? What happens after? | 16:14 |
| sobersabre | tech0007: I tried, and it still left the problem with ICQ. | 16:14 |
| bazhang | Crucial, then give us the url | 16:14 |
| nonewmsgs | mad_max02, hello! we are in the same boat. step 1: right click on folder click shared | 16:14 |
| tech0007 | Crucial: post the link here | 16:14 |
| Jack_Sparrow | Leefmc if u want to boot from a CD just insert it and shut down. Then hold down the "c" key while turn in your mac on | 16:14 |
| Crucial | http://paste.ubuntu.com/25016/ | 16:14 |
| tech0007 | sobersabre: then wait | 16:14 |
| f0xy_p1r4t3s | which one is easy? build-essential or terminal? | 16:14 |
| mad_max02 | nonewmsgs, yeah I'm trying it right now | 16:15 |
| gneale_ | how do i reconfigure xorg from command line? | 16:15 |
| sobersabre | tech0007: I even downloaded the dsc from hardy-proposed. | 16:15 |
| bazhang | f0xy_p1r4t3s, you need build-essential to compile | 16:15 |
| Leefmc | Jack_Sparrow: I know, i simply mean opening the cd tray. litterally, opening it. I'd hope that the key to eject the tray is in the bios/whatever. | 16:15 |
| Crucial | bazhang/tech0007: Haha, this is cool! | 16:15 |
| sobersabre | but there is some problem with the signature, so I am chickening out to dpkg -i this .deb. | 16:15 |
| Leefmc | Jack_Sparrow: Its hard to boot from cd if you cant open the cd tray haha | 16:15 |
| Jack_Sparrow | sobersabre you will not get icq in pidgin if you are running anything other than hardy | 16:15 |
| nonewmsgs | mad_max02, that is how far i know. but it is not working for me. this is why i am here :) | 16:15 |
| bazhang | f0xy_p1r4t3s, terminal is where you enter commands | 16:15 |
| kirrus | Is there an easy way that a user can disable the automatic opening of Rhythmbox when they plug in their mobile, and f-spot when they plug in their camera in Hardy? | 16:15 |
| sobersabre | Jack_Sparrow: I am on hardy. | 16:15 |

| ne2k__ | chadkouse: very very strange. | 17:15 |
| hiptobecubic | ne2k__, it says it needs a plugin, which i installed using synaptic but it still wasn't working properly. I didn't know if there was something in particular that i had to do | 17:15 |
| chadkouse | yeah I dunno.. maybe when you netboot the netboot agent is trying to control the IP address? I'll try a reboot and see if that clears it up | 17:15 |

| ne2k__ | xenoglossia: cool nick, btw. have you actually made a fat32 filesystem on /dev/sdg2? why do you want to use fat32 anyway? | 17:22 |
| soundray | vlt: the parameter is not needed if there is only one swap partition. By default, the kernel assumes that a single swap partition is also the resume partition. | 17:22 |

| mistergibson | thanks | 17:26 |
| ne2k__ | millertime_018: I was actually trying to do this earlier today. you need to use the VBoxManager utility to create a raw vmdk file, but the version of virtualbox that comes with ubuntu doesn't seem to have the utility in it. you might try qemu, though | 17:27 |
| vlt | Btw, what does the line "quiet" mean in GRUB? | 17:27 |

| millertime_018 | ne2k_:idk... it was just in the steps that virtual box gave when i started it after i had installed it | 17:28 |
| ne2k__ | millertime_018: it's also worth trying out wine to see if you can use it to do what you want. but you should visit winehq.org and follow the steps there to add wine's repository so you can get v1.1.0. Ubuntu ships with a broken, old version of wine | 17:29 |
| netix | i want play java based game and it needs to crate chae but it cant create.. i play it througt firefox but the eror is: was unable to find a suitable place to store its temporary files. To solve this please either: | 17:30 |
| netix | # Login to your computer as an 'administator' user, and then try loading RuneScape again. This should give it sufficient access to create its temporary cache. | 17:30 |
| netix | # Or, create a new directory called c:/rscache or /rscache. If possible, set that directory to have full read+write permissions so that all users can write to it. Runescape should then detect that directory and use it for its files. | 17:30 |
| soundray | netix: try starting it with sudo (if you trust the developers of the game) | 17:30 |
| millertime_018 | ne2k_: i already have wine installed. | 17:30 |
| ne2k__ | xenoglossia: have you actually done mkdosfs on /dev/sdg2? | 17:30 |

| ne2k__ | soundray: good luck | 17:31 |
| soundray | netix: actually, don't start it with sudo, there is a safer way to try: | 17:31 |
| xenoglossia | ne2k__, Sorry. What's mkdosfs? | 17:31 |
| soundray | netix: have you got a terminal open? | 17:31 |
| netix | yes i will | 17:31 |
| millertime_018 | ne2k_: ok. lets just start from the beginning. I am dual booting vista and ubuntu- how will i use ubuntu to boot vista virtually from the first partition? | 17:31 |
| mx-tvt | netix, you shouldn't start the game as root. just create the folder as they ask. | 17:32 |
| soundray | netix: run 'sudo mkdir /rscache' (it will ask for your user password, then return to the $ prompt) | 17:32 |

| ne2k__ | millertime_018: you need to persuade whatever emulator you're using to use a raw disk. with qemu this is easy, you just run qemu /dev/sda (with a few more options if you want them); with VirtualBox you need to create a vmdk file with the correct settings in it, which I don't know how to do | 17:33 |

| Anarhist | rbarbo, don't ask to ask | 17:34 |
| netix | yes next? | 17:35 |
| mx-tvt | soundray, didn't notice you took it back. anyway, I believe you should never tell anyone to use sudo, unless it is strictly necessary. sudo-habbit is what makes most users get into trouble. | 17:35 |

| netix | yes i run it | 17:38 |
| xenoglossia | ne2k__, Sorry, I keep forgetting to put your nickname at the front -- I'm kind 'a new :) | 17:38 |

| ne2k__ | jbroome: wrong. qemulator is a package that is "a solution for easy setup and managemnt of qemu" | 17:38 |

| millertime_018 | ne2k__: i wont use it at all? should i uninstall it? | 17:48 |
| saint-takeshi | rbarbo: it's umount | 17:48 |
| amenado | millertime_018-> look into using the new'er fangled virtualizations like openvz or xen | 17:48 |
| soundray | rbarbo: make sure any shell you have running is cd'd away from the mount | 17:48 |
| fritzophrenic_ | how can I kill a locked-up application that won't give up focus? | 17:48 |
| joel__ | hi, does anyone else have a problem when trying to suspend or hibernate hardy? | 17:48 |
| ne2k__ | fritzophrenic: if that doesn't work, ctrl-alt-f1, ps auwx |less, find the pid, kill -9 pid, ctrl-f7 to get back to x | 17:48 |
| fritzophrenic_ | oh, sorry...missed that | 17:48 |
| ne2k__ | millertime_018: if you like. but don't worry at the moment. I have two minutes more and then i have to go home, so hurry | 17:49 |
| xenoglossia | any ideas? | 17:49 |
| rbarbo | rbarbo@kubuntu-desktop:~$ sudo umount /dev/sdd | 17:49 |
| rbarbo | umount: /dev/sdd: not mounted | 17:49 |
| amenado | millertime_018-> where is the auto eth0? missing? | 17:49 |
| rbarbo | it says this......... | 17:49 |
| soundray | mattgyver83: add a 'auto eth0' line ( http://paste.ubuntu.com/25041/) | 17:49 |
| rbarbo | but in Kde, i can access it and all | 17:49 |
| ne2k__ | !paste |rbarbo | 17:49 |
| ubottu | rbarbo: 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) | 17:49 |
| mattgyver83 | soundray, amenado, should it read dhcp as opposed to static for the eth0 line as well? | 17:49 |
| millertime_018 | ne2k__: ok i have qemu launcher open. now what? | 17:49 |
| mattgyver83 | its not a static IP | 17:49 |
| soundray | mattgyver83: probably | 17:49 |
| mattgyver83 | I will change that as well. | 17:50 |
| ne2k__ | millertime_018: where it says hard drive 0, type /dev/sda, and press launch | 17:50 |
| soundray | mattgyver83: delete the address, netmask and gateway lines in that case (or comment them) | 17:50 |
| mattgyver83 | soundray, it is a static internal ip address, however the external is dhcp, should i just leave it alone? | 17:50 |
| frenzy42 | i need help umounting a volume that is not in fstab | 17:50 |
| millertime_018 | ne2k__: i dont think it worked | 17:50 |
| amenado | mattgyver83-> and add auto eth0 | 17:50 |
| soundray | mattgyver83: I don't know, you know your setup better than I do | 17:51 |
| millertime_018 | ne2k__: ok i typed it. not sure it worked though | 17:51 |
| frenzy42 | i get this error when i umount "umount: /home/gregg/virtual-drives/Vice City PLAY is not in the fstab (and you are not root)" | 17:51 |

| soundray | mattgyver83: considering that ifup eth0 works, I would leave it on static | 17:51 |

| Gargolas | hello every1 | 17:52 |
| wigren | I have a new laptop (less then 6 months old) that was giving me trouble booting up. I backed up all of my data and did a clean install. The clean install started to hang on the first boot and my numlock indicator light started to flash. I figured a clean disk wipe with DBAN might do some good, but it gives me an error that my disk has bad sectors. any help? | 17:52 |
| MGrunde | If anyone could look at my xorg.conf, I'd really appreciate it. Ubuntu doesn't like it, but I'm not sure what I've done wrong. It's at http://pastebin.com/d233cc1fe | 17:52 |
| ne2k__ | millertime_018: this was your error. I said to open a terminal and type qemu-launcher | 17:53 |
| millertime_018 | ne2k__: ok i did this is what appeared. /usr/bin/qemu -boot c -m 128 -hda '/dev/sda' -net nic,vlan=0 -net user,vlan=0 -localtime & | 17:53 |

| Rev | is tracker-applet compatible with xcfe? | 17:53 |

| ne2k__ | millertime_018: your user by default doesn't have raw disk access. adding your user to the "disk" group allows this. | 17:55 |

| cilum | aiuto | 17:55 |
| acer_ | how to install intel graphic media accelerator 950 on ubuntu 8.04?anyone | 17:55 |
| fritzophrenic_ | so, I'm guessing CTRL-alt-f1 is supposed to bring me to the terminal...what is going on if the screen just shows a random pattern of color? | 17:55 |
| cilum | qualcuno mi aiuta | 17:55 |
| jpds | !it | cilum | 17:55 |
| ubottu | cilum: Vai su #ubuntu-it se vuoi parlare in italiano, in questo canale usiamo solo l'inglese. Grazie! | 17:55 |

| acer_ | hh | 17:55 |
| MGrunde | wigren, sure, or a different testing program, whatever you prefer | 17:55 |
| ne2k__ | fritzophrenic: if you don't mind losing all of what's happening in X, you can press ctrl-alt-backspace to kill X | 17:56 |
| dr_Willis | fritzophrenic, ive seen it do that when the framebuffer has issues with the video card drivers. | 17:56 |
| Gargolas | is ubottu a bot? | 17:56 |
| millertime_018 | ne2k__: whoa it worked! | 17:56 |
| dr_Willis | fritzophrenic, i often disable the 'framebuffer' on such machines. | 17:56 |
| millertime_018 | but now it wont boot... | 17:56 |
| dr_Willis | Gargolas, yes. | 17:56 |
| nir | thank you, I'll give it a go "as is" for few more days | 17:56 |
| soundray | fritzophrenic_: your graphics card or monitor is confused. Try switching back and forth between the X console and the text console -- sometimes that helps | 17:56 |
| Gargolas | kool.. lol | 17:56 |
| wigren | MGrunde: ok, thanks for the help | 17:56 |
| millertime_018 | ne2k__: now will it work every time i start my computer? i can just open it? | 17:56 |
| ne2k__ | millertime_018: now, you might want to change that RAM parameter in qemu-launcher to give the virtual machine a bit more ram than 128MB, and tweak a few other things | 17:56 |
| ne2k__ | millertime_018: yep | 17:56 |
| ne2k__ | millertime_018: adduser is permanent | 17:57 |
| edsubuntu | Ctrl Alt F7 will bring you back to init 5 I think. | 17:57 |
| ne2k__ | millertime_018: so, has it booted XP? | 17:57 |
| ne2k__ | edsubuntu: utter rubbish | 17:57 |
| karol^ | hi, can someone help me? I set up dual monitors according to this http://intellinuxgraphics.org/dualhead.html and it works during login screen but then it switches to cloned view once I log in | 17:57 |
| mattgyver83 | soundray, amenado, worked like a charm. Thank you for your guidance. | 17:57 |
| soundray | nir: my personal cutoff for choosing xubuntu over ubuntu is 1 GHz | 17:57 |
| dalla | how do i install intgell vid drivers | 17:57 |
| acer_ | how to install intel graphic media accelerator 950 on ubuntu 8.04?anyone? | 17:57 |
| fritzophrenic_ | ugh...well, it will switch back to X, but it still won't bring up the terminal | 17:58 |
| millertime_018 | ne2k: it tried. but wouldn't because i hadn't set it to enough ram before. | 17:58 |
| fritzophrenic_ | dr_Willis, how do you disable the 'framebuffer' and what does that do? | 17:58 |
| millertime_018 | ne2k: no i killed the emulation and fixed the ram but when i tried to run it again | 17:58 |
| ne2k__ | millertime_018: it's a good idea to stop that, go back into native XP, create a second hardware profile and use that when booting XP inside qemu. otherwise you may find that when you reboot back into native XP, there are driver issues | 17:58 |
| soundray | dalla: install what? | 17:58 |
| millertime_018 | ne2k: i'm not using xp. i'm using vista | 17:59 |
| acer_ | how to install intel graphic media accelerator 950 on ubuntu 8.04?anyone? | 17:59 |
| millertime_018 | ne2k__: will there be driver problems? | 17:59 |
| ne2k__ | millertime_018: oh. my. goodness. the very best of luck to you, in all respects. | 17:59 |
| ne2k__ | millertime_018: I don't know very much about this, only started looking at it myself about two hours ago. you've used up all my knowledge on the subject ;-) | 17:59 |
| theshelter | how do I give this window transperancy? | 17:59 |
| millertime_018 | ne2k__: what? i know most people don't like vista... | 17:59 |

| MGrunde | acer_, see the Ubuntu section | 18:00 |
| ne2k__ | theshelter: this one? this one here? use the force and you will be able to see through it! | 18:00 |
| millertime_018 | ne2k__: well ok. it worked the first time but when i tried to launch it after killing it it gave me a bunch of stuff in the terminal | 18:00 |
| SkarVeN | lolol | 18:00 |
| acer_ | mgrunde, thanks | 18:00 |
| ne2k__ | bad stuff? | 18:00 |
| fritzophrenic_ | so, any ideas for getting CTRL-ALT-F1 to actually do something useful rather than bringing up a screen of green noise? | 18:00 |
| theshelter | Thanks for the help there ne2K_...your help is invaluable | 18:01 |
| MGrunde | acer_, no problem | 18:01 |
| soundray | fritzophrenic_: have you managed to kill that X program now? | 18:01 |

| rbarbo | i get message, that file cannot be found. | 18:02 |
| ne2k__ | fritzophrenic_: in this session, no, nothing you can do. you'll have to reboot (as far as I know). you have to tell the kernel not to use framebuffer | 18:02 |
| fritzophrenic_ | soundray, xkill doesn't do it...so I wast attempting the ps auwx craziness, but ctrl-alt-f1 just brings up a screen of random green noise | 18:02 |
| soundray | fritzophrenic_: you could try to login on the text console blindly and run 'killall -9 name_of_frozen_program' | 18:02 |
| ne2k__ | rbarbo: I wonder why | 18:02 |
| rbarbo | ne2k_, yes? | 18:03 |

| ne2k__ | rbarbo: why? | 18:03 |
| fritzophrenic_ | soundray, so ctrl-alt-f1, type (without seeing it) "killall -9 name_of_program" | 18:03 |
| ne2k__ | rbarbo: did you create it? | 18:03 |

| MrLinux | ok | 18:07 |
| amenado | MrLinux-> nope no need to re-install | 18:07 |
| ne2k__ | soundray: yeah but sudo is ostensibly buggered; the only way to fix it is single-user mode | 18:07 |
| soundray | MrLinux: make sure your user is a member of the admin group (adduser yourusername admin) | 18:07 |
| LSD|Ninja | soundray: I know, but you have to let them buttfuck their system at least one for them to learn why that's a good thing | 18:07 |

| KrisMedal | Hey, I got a question if anyone wants to give me an assist. | 18:38 |
| Xavura | FelixTheCat: It was working fine without the restricted driver so why would I install it, if it's "restricted" then I don't like the sound of that | 18:38 |
| FelixTheCat | Xavura: you can try opening xorg.conf in Gedit, then select all, copy. | 18:38 |

| MrWizeGuy1983 | libpurple0: | 18:38 |
| MrWizeGuy1983 | Depends: pidgin-data (<1:2.4.1-z) but 1:2.4.3-0ubuntu1~hardy1 is to be installed | 18:38 |
| MrWizeGuy1983 | what does that mean? | 18:38 |
| FelixTheCat | Xavura: no worries, don't install the binary blob if you aren't cool with it. | 18:39 |
| SPhcT | soundray: no its not | 18:39 |
| Xavura | It means it requires pidgin-data to work | 18:39 |
| Xavura | FelixTheCat: I'd install it if I knew what restricted means, or if it will fix my problem for sure | 18:39 |
| SPhcT | everything about 20 % | 18:39 |
| MrWizeGuy1983 | Xavura, ......um.....clearly.....but you seem to have missed the point | 18:39 |
| soundray | SPhcT: good. Now see if you can make any sense of the last entry in the X session log: tail -n 30 .xsession-errors | 18:39 |
| Xavura | FelixTheCat: How do I get select all? | 18:39 |
| KrisMedal | Hold on. What's Xavura's issue? | 18:39 |
| Xavura | do* | 18:39 |
| Xavura | KrisMedal: After installing a bunch of updates earlier, I can't enable desktop effects | 18:40 |
| FelixTheCat | KrisMedal: he is using a radeon card and suddenly cannot run compiz after running updates. | 18:40 |
| KrisMedal | Right... | 18:40 |
| Xavura | FelixTheCat: I think compiz is working, just not effects | 18:40 |
| Xavura | Idk | 18:40 |
| Xavura | compiz is the window manager right? | 18:40 |
| KrisMedal | I would have thought to just install the upgrades one by one, testing after al of them. | 18:40 |
| Lapinux | anyone have any idea what may cause duplicate boot messages? | 18:40 |
| Xavura | MrWizeGuy1983: Maybe I am missing the point, I'm new to this... I was just trying to help | 18:41 |
| Xavura | FelixTheCat: Thanks for the help, I'll be back in a minute though | 18:41 |
| SPhcT | My problem: I start ubuntu and see only desktop background. what i need to doo? | 18:41 |
| MrWizeGuy1983 | it's ok Xavura it usually does that on synaptic, but for some reason it's acting like it's half upgraded and won't work | 18:41 |
| MrWizeGuy1983 | i think my upgrade failed... | 18:41 |
| elexodus | Anybody know what this message means: http://pastebin.ca/1062387 | 18:41 |
| FelixTheCat | Xavura: restricted drivers mainly mean these are closed-source drivers, unavailable to anyone outside of the manufacturer for correcting. | 18:41 |
| KrisMedal | So, hey. | 18:42 |
| elexodus | sphct: have you tried installing an older version? | 18:42 |
| KrisMedal | I have an issue with this system I'm building. | 18:42 |

| gkife | When I use the keyboard shortcuts configuration screen it changes to SuperL as soon as I press the windows key | 18:43 |
| KrisMedal | I'd just deal witht he howtos. I think they generally know what they're doing. | 18:43 |

| SPhcT | elexodus: no i just coplete instaled all new | 18:43 |
| FuzzplugJones | i guess i didn't phrase my question right. | 18:44 |
| KrisMedal | Yes, it is installed. I got one IDE and an open SCSI port. | 18:44 |
| kitche | FuzzplugJones: probably because it's more of a admin task instead of a user task to setup Raid | 18:44 |
| dr_Willis | FuzzplugJones, are You even sure you need raid? it is a 'complex' topic. :) and theres dozens of things/issues to watch out for. | 18:44 |

| elexodus | KrisMedal so it's working, right? | 18:45 |
| KrisMedal | The IDE drive is working. I'm not sure aobut the SCSI. | 18:45 |
| KrisMedal | I boot, it's not there. | 18:45 |
| elexodus | KrisMedal is the scsi installed? | 18:45 |
| KrisMedal | And since it's not there I can't format. | 18:45 |
| KrisMedal | Yes, it is. | 18:45 |

| nickwinl | elexodus and SPhcT: it could be a variety of that p-DoS firmware bug | 18:45 |
| FuzzplugJones | as far as software raid goes, win2k3 server is stable enough and has a gui to help you not make stupid mistakes when setting things up, and handles resyncs automatically and all that, i'd just rather support free software, but it seems like 10x the hassle. this isn't a hobby for me, i have data i need to protect and i'll get no pleasure out of rolling up my sleeves and pounding it out. | 18:45 |

| FelixTheCat | Xavura: Run the Hardware Drivers tool and see what it offers. | 18:49 |
| enzotib | on the "system" menu, "administration", "system registry" (im not sure is so, i'm trying to translate from italian) | 18:49 |
| KrisMedal | Here's a full shot...copy and past is fun. | 18:49 |
| FuzzplugJones | hmm, that doesn't seem to be, say, Apache's philosophy. Okay, thanks for clearing that up, guess for stability and reliability I'll stick on 2k3 | 18:49 |

| Xavura | and Gnome is something else, like KDE | 18:50 |

| rubystallion | KrisMedal: I'm not sure. If it's something about the xorg.conf, then it might have been because I ran an nvidia graphics demo | 18:57 |

| Xavura | ikonia: I'm calm, thanks. | 18:58 |
| fernandos | ikonia, but they don't require them after the compilation | 18:58 |
| elexodus | KrisMedal Make sure you have all your scsi services installed | 18:58 |
| ikonia | fernandos: suck as, can you give me an example | 18:58 |
| AMLNXUSR | Is there a command that frees up memory? ?? | 18:59 |
| FelixTheCat | Xavura: if you don't get x-windows to start up after running the configuration, you are going to be stuck since you won't have a convenient way to get back to the online copy | 18:59 |
| ikonia | fernandos: normally if something needs a dependency, it needs it to run | 18:59 |
| ikonia | AMLNXUSR: kill off uneeded process/applications | 18:59 |
| FelixTheCat | MrWizeGuy1983: No, I don't have any information on the updates. | 18:59 |
| Xavura | FelixTheCat: I will make the backup as you suggested but err I need to exit the file in nano before running the command right | 18:59 |
| FelixTheCat | Xavura: Yes. | 18:59 |
| AMLNXUSR | k thnx ikonia | 18:59 |
| Xavura | lol you said IN the file | 18:59 |
| MrWizeGuy1983 | FelixTheCat, know anybody who would? they messed me up bad | 18:59 |
| fernandos | in example cairo-dock need some dev-libraries which I do not need after compilation | 18:59 |
| ikonia | fernandos: you'll need the libaries but not the headers | 19:00 |
| yaris12346789 | using wget, how can i make it use random proxy from a list of proxy ? | 19:00 |
| FelixTheCat | MrWizeGuy1983: Honestly, no. You may see if anyone in the dev channel knows. | 19:00 |
| pwuertz | I have no clue what could possibly take that long for recompiling and distributing pidgin 2.4.3 | 19:00 |
| ikonia | fernandos: if you want to remove the dependency packages such as headers, you can remove the package | 19:00 |
| yaris12346789 | so that if connection refused, it will go to the next proxy | 19:00 |
| MrWizeGuy1983 | FelixTheCat, what's the dev channel again please? | 19:00 |
| AMLNXUSR | ikonia, I only have 3 apps running and its is useing over a gig of memory.. is that ok? | 19:00 |
| ikonia | pwuertz: pidgin is intergrated into gnome with ubuntu | 19:00 |
| Xavura | FelixTheCat: You said something really has messed with my xorg.conf, that's a bad thing right? How bad is it messed up? What could have done this to it? | 19:00 |
| soundray | AMLNXUSR: have a look at the output of 'free' -- the amounts shown under 'buffers' and 'cached' are available to new programs that you start (almost as if the memory was free) | 19:00 |
| ikonia | AMLNXUSR: is it using ram - or allocating ram | 19:00 |
| nice_burger | how do i restart an accidentally stopped job? say, irssi for example? thanks | 19:00 |

| FelixTheCat | Xavura: there were quite a few xorg updates the past couple of days. Any one of them could have done this. | 19:01 |
| pwuertz | ikonia: so what? we are talking about replacing pidgin with pidgin | 19:01 |
| Xavura | That's it, done... | 19:01 |
| FelixTheCat | Xavura: BINGO!! | 19:01 |
| Xavura | FelixTheCat: What now? | 19:01 |
| fernandos | ikonia ehrm maybe I told something wrong. I don't mean the depandancies of the application. I mean the dependancies needed for compilation like dev-packages | 19:01 |
| ikonia | pwuertz: yes, but if anything has changed apart from the icq protocol in the version being built it needs to be tested against gnome | 19:01 |

| FelixTheCat | Xavura: nevermind, thought you were looking at some log file. | 19:03 |
| unop | fernandos, sudo apt-get build-dep source_package | 19:03 |
| FelixTheCat | Xavura: you may also see if there are any other backup files in that same directory made earlier today. | 19:03 |

| myr | hi. my hardy install (2.6.24-19-generic) takes about 30 seconds longer to boot than it should. it stalls on "waiting for root file system". can anyone help me please? | 19:03 |
| Myrtti | Bassetts: I once had that too - it's because you've got a stale hibernation setting in your swap | 19:03 |
| axelpaxel | does anyone here know how to get a wifi usb adaptor to act like a Access Point? Thanks | 19:03 |
| Bassetts | Myrtti: how can I fix it? | 19:03 |
| * ShePoLo seLam | 19:04 | |
| Bassetts | Myrtti: would removing the swap from fstab using a live cd help me to just get the machine booted? | 19:04 |
| Myrtti | Bassetts: no | 19:04 |
| fernandos | unop but I do "make" .. and I need to install some dev-libs "temporary" to compile the app. Those libs aren't requiered after compilation | 19:04 |
| nickwinl | Is there a GUI tool where you can directly change a single system's main memory and/or control the flow of that memory's performance for a certain program? I remember MacOS 9's memory tool that was a good prog. | 19:04 |
| Bassetts | Myrtti: how about formatting the swap | 19:05 |
| Xavura | FelixTheCat: here is what is in the xorg.conf.20080704190048 file http://pastebin.mozilla.org/477592 | 19:05 |
| Xavura | FelixTheCat: It looks exactly the same as it was before | 19:05 |
| pwuertz | ikonia: yea... I admire some peoples wishes trying to deliver stable and well tested software... but pidgin is broken right now, there is no way it could have less functionality... there is enough time for bugfixing later | 19:05 |
| unop | fernandos, what package are you trying to build there? | 19:05 |
| Myrtti | Bassetts: check which partition is your swap, and do "swapon" to it when you've booted to recovery mode | 19:05 |
| perlsyntax | i try to install Devel::PerlySense from cpan and for some reason it not installing it and ideas? | 19:05 |
| Xavura | FelixTheCat: xorg.conf, xorg.conf.bak and xorg.conf.20080704190048 are all the same | 19:05 |
| FelixTheCat | Xavura: If I understand correctly, you just ran the sudo dpkg-reconfigure -phigh xserver-xorg command, and you got that file as backup. | 19:05 |
| fernandos | unop I am compiling cairo-dock or compiz or other apps from source | 19:05 |
| Bassetts | Myrtti: /dev/sda5, but it is encrypted | 19:05 |
| Xavura | FelixTheCat: I ran the command you gave me and it gave me the output that I pasted to you | 19:06 |
| perlsyntax | ? | 19:06 |
| Myrtti | Bassetts: yes, it doesn't matter | 19:06 |
| FelixTheCat | Xavura: All of that is correct. Are there any other xorg.conf backup files in that directory? | 19:06 |
| Myrtti | Bassetts: well, /dev/mapper/whatever then | 19:06 |
| Xavura | FelixTheCat: I'll check | 19:06 |
| unop | fernandos, well, for each of those apps you need to run build-dep , it installs the necessary libraries to complete the build | 19:06 |
| Bassetts | Myrtti: so after entering the password to unlock my swap run "swapoff /dev/mapper/sda5_crypt" ? | 19:06 |
| unop | perlsyntax, any errors? | 19:06 |
| Myrtti | Bassetts: I think that along the lines I did mine when I had the same situation as you did | 19:07 |
| Xavura | FelixTheCat: No there are none | 19:07 |
| perlsyntax | yes | 19:07 |
| perlsyntax | it will not install | 19:07 |
| unop | perlsyntax, put the output of your cpan command on a pastebin | 19:07 |
| Bassetts | Myrtti: I will go get the other laptop so I have irc access while trying, thank you so very much | 19:07 |
| perlsyntax | what the link? | 19:07 |
| unop | !pastebin | perlsyntax | 19:07 |
| ubottu | perlsyntax: 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) | 19:07 |
| FelixTheCat | Xavura: OK, strange that the latest xorg updates didn't make any backup files. Yuck! Anyway, you know have a new xorg.conf file different than the old ones? | 19:07 |
| Xavura | FelixTheCat: Except xorg.conf.new but that is a copy of xorg.conf before I was going to paste xorg.conf.20080704190048 into it, before I realized they are both exactly the same | 19:07 |
| fernandos | unop if I don't remove the dev-libs which were just needed for make the system will become full of those libs one day wasting my space. build-dep? what does it do? compile with needed dev headers and then remove them? | 19:08 |
| Xavura | FelixTheCat: ALL xorg.* are exactly the same, even after running the command you gave me the new xorg.conf is the same as it was before | 19:08 |
| perlsyntax | http://paste.ubuntu.com/25047/ | 19:09 |
| unop | fernandos, you can always remove the packages that build-dep (sudo apt-get build-dep package_you_are_building) installs after the build-process -- just make a note of which packages are being installed, and remove them later | 19:09 |

| FelixTheCat | Xavura: Try 'sudo dpkg-reconfigure xserver-xorg' instead without the options. It should give you a chance to pick a driver. | 19:10 |
| soundray | AMLNXUSR: have you tried 'top'? | 19:10 |

| AMLNXUSR | yes i did | 19:11 |

| FelixTheCat | soundray: his xorg.conf has no driver listed. Is there another place now? | 19:11 |
| fernandos | unop would be newww to me that apt can even compile, wow | 19:11 |
| unop | fernandos, no, sudo apt-get build-dep cairo-dock | 19:11 |

| fernandos | der|kunstler don't hesitate, as long as your router's software doesn`t have goog loadbalancing or other technologies to "speed you up" it's waste of time | 19:37 |

| e-jat | hunzikea, my suspend n hibernate work out of the box | 19:39 |
| whalebone | ok, no dice, if i grab this program by the title bar and slide right, it disappears offscreen up to the mouse, where it stops. | 19:39 |
| iceman_ | linux commands | 19:39 |
| whalebone | but i can let go and move the mouse to the right and it foes to the other monitor | 19:39 |
| whalebone | which is on the left side of the one i am on | 19:39 |
| Entropy626 | iceman_, do you have any idea where I can find a link? I'm only finding help forums w/o a download link | 19:39 |
| e-jat | with T61 | 19:39 |
| crexor | Does anyone know how to output the contects of a directory, subfolders/etc into a readable format | 19:39 |
| fernandos | I'm away.. | 19:39 |
| murlidhar_ | is there any basic ubuntu install that has only the basic linux kernels and a bash command line editor and apt package management | 19:39 |
| whalebone | so i need to get the monitor's flipped somehow. lol | 19:39 |
| crexor | i tried doing ls piped to a txt file, and each new line | 19:39 |
| crexor | but looked like trash | 19:39 |
| fernandos | still waiting for a answer for my question.. | 19:40 |
| crexor | and i have a feeling i might need to make something myself with bash scripting... | 19:40 |
| hunzikea | e-jat: mine worked fine as well. suddenly it doesn't, and i'm not sure why not. i messed around with network-manager 0.7, but even after downgrading again it doesn't work, so i doubt that's the reason. | 19:40 |
| iceman_ | Enropyy, try getting them from the synaptics package manager | 19:40 |
| fernandos | can I undo installations in synaptic (not selecting everything by hand) | 19:40 |

| geek_inn2 | i have intel motherboard 845,i dont want to edit files in xorg i dont want to crash my system | 19:52 |

| whalebone | kk, i got confused :) | 19:52 |

| Entropy626 | iceman_, I tried them both. Unfortunately, the Nvidia 6100 is a motherboard/GPU set, so there's a lot of stuff. | 19:53 |
| iceman_ | okay | 19:53 |
| VolSol | dr_Willis: what I'm wanting to do is to basically in GRUB have an entry that will start Ubuntu w/ GDM, and one that will start without it. So I'll have an option to start Ubuntu in a "Desktop" mode, and one to start it in a "Console" mode. I haven't been able to find anything so far: :P | 19:53 |

| geek_inn2 | only worked in 6.06 dapper | 19:55 |
| dr_Willis | VolSol, i though i saw some gdm session that said 'console login' befor also.. but i forget where. | 19:55 |
| mangol | isn't there any option like 'sleep' in windows | 19:55 |

| Xavura | FelixTheCat: thanks | 19:57 |
| VolSol | finiras: Would I ask if it didn't matter? I'm not attempting to be rude. I just wanted to know if it's possible/easy. I asked and got my answer. | 19:57 |
| Entropy626 | I have updated the GPU driver recently. This *should* be the latest one... If that is what you mean. | 19:57 |

| SPhcT | frodo: internet, java, skype, office, and some small games in there | 20:09 |
| Fryguy-- | geek_inn2: there's only 1 mainstream X server at this point, is it driver you are talking about? | 20:09 |
| Fryguy-- | geek_inn2: which driver are you using currently | 20:09 |
| geek_inn2 | its hardy defauly | 20:09 |
| geek_inn2 | well in xp i have mobo drivers | 20:09 |
| frodo | SPhct: And than check the needs of those applications. | 20:09 |
| Fryguy-- | geek_inn2: is there any restricted driver for you to install? | 20:10 |
| Fryguy-- | geek_inn2: have you tried switching to the "intel" driver in your xorg.conf? | 20:10 |
| geek_inn2 | the update manager says none | 20:10 |
| Fryguy-- | geek_inn2: not the update manager, the restricted drivers manager | 20:10 |
| geek_inn2 | noo i haven't | 20:10 |
| SPhcT | frodo: i was think wat operating sistem will be good for 500mhz 512 ram and 4mb video | 20:10 |
| frodo | SPhct: 4 Mb ram is some what poor. | 20:10 |
| Fryguy-- | SPhcT: check out xubuntu | 20:11 |

| Fryguy-- | SPhcT: it's an ubuntu setup that uses a less resource intensive default desktop (xfce) | 20:11 |
| geek_inn2 | yes restricted drivers manager says "you dont need".iam only using intel mobo no graphics card | 20:11 |
| SPhcT | Fryguy--: on it will work skype firefox..? | 20:11 |
| Fryguy-- | geek_inn2: ok, so try changing driver in xorg.conf to intel | 20:12 |
| Fryguy-- | SPhcT: yes | 20:12 |
| geek_inn2 | hehe,not interested@whale | 20:12 |
| geek_inn2 | how fry | 20:12 |
| blockhd | guys | 20:12 |
| blockhd | are you using nvidia graphic cards? | 20:12 |
| * gordonjcp is | 20:13 | |
| blockhd | i need help choosing right driver | 20:13 |
| Fryguy-- | geek_inn2: gksu gedit /etc/X11/xorg.conf, scroll down to the video card section, change the driver to intel, and then restart X. | 20:13 |
| blockhd | for it | 20:13 |
| dr_Willis | blockhd, i imagine a great many of us are using nvidia. | 20:13 |
| Fryguy-- | blockhd: use the restricted driver from the restricted drivers manager | 20:13 |
| blockhd | Fryguy is restricted the best? | 20:13 |
| Fryguy-- | geek_inn2: if X doesn't restart correctly, hit ctrl-alt-f1 and change it back | 20:13 |
| Fryguy-- | blockhd: yes | 20:13 |
| blockhd | or could community drivers eb better? | 20:13 |
| blockhd | hwo do i access restricted driver manager? | 20:13 |
| geek_inn2 | what if i want 2 upgrade 2 hardy 8.04.1 | 20:13 |
| Fryguy-- | blockhd: restricted driver is probably the best. Both are available and easy to install, so why not try both? | 20:13 |
| blockhd | i am newbie | 20:14 |
| Fryguy-- | geek_inn2: so then upgrade to hardy 8.04.1 | 20:14 |
| blockhd | and got no idea | 20:14 |
| Fryguy-- | blockhd: you obviously have some idea since you've tracked these drivers down | 20:14 |
| geek_inn2 | fryguy how 2 install intel mobo drivers? | 20:14 |
| blockhd | Fryguy-- true | 20:14 |
| Fryguy-- | blockhd: i'm telling you that the restricted driver is probably the best choice. There's plenty of documentation available for installing other drivers, you are free to change it and experiment if you want | 20:14 |
| Fryguy-- | geek_inn2: it's already installed | 20:14 |
| Fryguy-- | geek_inn2: just put it in xorg.conf and see if you can use it | 20:14 |

| Explo | KR-data: did you try mounting it? | 20:19 |
| bindaas | Fryguy--: just making a ln to a file but file is dependent on other for example file1 ,so making ln will not work .. | 20:20 |
| bindaas | or is there any way? | 20:20 |
| Fryguy-- | blockhd: as far as I know, the only easy to use sensitivity settings are in the mouse panel in the menu. If you need more advanced configuration of your mouse, you'll have to consult the documentation for X and put the appropriate configuration into xorg.conf | 20:20 |
| KR-data | Explo, if it's not in /dev/ how can I mount it? | 20:20 |

| Explo | KR-data: ok, bad on my part. It's removable, so it might be in /media? | 20:21 |
| geek_inn2 | i hate ff3 because many extensions wont work | 20:21 |
| ubottu | Launchpad bug 124406 in linux "Keyboard keys get stuck and repeat (Feisty, Gutsy)" [Unknown,Confirmed] | 20:21 |
| Fryguy-- | Subrock: what video card are you using | 20:21 |
| Fryguy-- | Explo: no, /media is mountpoints, not devices | 20:21 |
| KR-data | Explo, the mount should, if it mounts, but if the system ain't able to create a device in /dev/ the automount systems won't be able to mount it | 20:22 |
| Fryguy-- | KR-data: is there any messages in dmesg or /var/log/messages when you first connect the drive? | 20:22 |

| SPhcT | speed? | 20:22 |
| yesitisjustme | does ubuntu have a frugal install or just regular install? | 20:22 |
| Fryguy-- | SPhcT: xubuntu takes fewer resources to run | 20:22 |
| blockhd | SPhcT: i think yes | 20:23 |
| blockhd | and its also less gfx dependable | 20:23 |
| KR-data | Fryguy--, http://pastebin.ca/1062459 from dmesg, I'll check the log | 20:23 |
| Fryguy-- | yesitisjustme: there are several base setups available. if by "frugal" you mean not much installed by default, check out the ubuntu server install, which doesn't install X by default | 20:23 |
| SPhcT | u use it? | 20:23 |
| theshelter | can anyone tell me a trick to force show my bottom panel after it has been hidden? | 20:23 |
| yesitisjustme | ok | 20:23 |
| dr_Willis | yesitisjustme, frugal? Only time ive heard of a frugal install is with PuppyLinux. | 20:23 |
| SPhcT | blockhd: you use it? | 20:23 |
| Fryguy-- | theshelter: what happened to it? | 20:23 |
| blockhd | SPhcT, i have used it | 20:23 |
| blockhd | ive been using it | 20:23 |
| yesitisjustme | ok | 20:23 |
| blockhd | before i got my ti4400 | 20:24 |
| KR-data | Fryguy--, messages gives the same with less details | 20:24 |
| blockhd | its faster with old graphic cards | 20:24 |
| blockhd | definately | 20:24 |
| Subrock | fryguy: I have Asus nVidia GeForce N6200 | 20:24 |
| geek_inn2 | hey how do i enable intel drivers | 20:24 |
| theshelter | It's been fracked up since my computer froze...was at the top when it should be at the bottom...and wouldn't let me move to the bottom...then it autohid and I can't see any of the arrows to make it reappear | 20:24 |
| Fryguy-- | KR-data: looks like some of the information on the drive is bad, see if googling for something like "usb drive can't mount, error -71" gives you any clues. I don't have any specific answers for you | 20:24 |
| SPhcT | blockhd i need it for internet skype office and unbuntu deflaut games.. it will work? | 20:25 |
| Fryguy-- | Subrock: and have you installed correct drivers for it (probably from the restricted drivers manager) | 20:25 |
| blockhd | SPhcT: yes | 20:25 |
| KR-data | Fryguy--, ok, I'll try, thanks | 20:25 |
| blockhd | probably also gnome would work, but id take xubuntu | 20:25 |
| Fryguy-- | !resetpanel | 20:25 |

| blockhd | which is the best media player for gnome? | 20:25 |
| whalebone | ok, anyone on who can help with a dual monitor issue? | 20:26 |
| Fryguy-- | blockhd: i recommend using smplayer | 20:26 |
| Fryguy-- | blockhd: it uses QT libs, but it's really a nice media player | 20:26 |
| Fryguy-- | whalebone: ask a question, don't ask to ask | 20:26 |
| blockhd | i need it to have eq, media library, some peaks | 20:26 |
| Explo | blockhd: I prefer songbird, but it's all choice really | 20:26 |
| blockhd | does it have that vinsulation? | 20:26 |
| dennda | !french | 20:26 |
| ubottu | Ce canal est en anglais uniquement. Si vous avez besoin d'aide ou voulez discuter en francais, merci de rejoindre #ubuntu-fr ou #kubuntu-fr | 20:26 |
| Subrock | fryguy:it says I have driver for Nvidia-cards installed (3rd party drivers) | 20:27 |
| theshelter | holy crap it worked...Ok can you help me with one other thing...why when I try to set it to bottom does it pop back to top (in the menu)...it won't let me move it to the bottom still | 20:27 |
| blockhd | Fryguy, you use Mplayer to play music? | 20:27 |
| blockhd | smplayer is frontend for mplayer? | 20:27 |
| Fryguy-- | Subrock: open up a terminal and type "glxinfo | grep -i direct" | 20:27 |
| gordonjcp | !best | blockhd | 20:27 |
| ubottu | blockhd: 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. | 20:27 |
| Fryguy-- | blockhd: it is, and no i don't use it to play music | 20:27 |
| Fryguy-- | blockhd: i don't use ubuntu | 20:27 |
| gordonjcp | blockhd: that said, audacious is a nice little mp3 player | 20:28 |
| Fryguy-- | blockhd: you asked for media player, so I gave a recommendation | 20:28 |
| blockhd | i meant music | 20:28 |
| CroX | My system has locked up .. again. No new programs can be started, I can't even log out since that log out screen refuses to show. Could anyone please help me figure out what is wrong? It might be related to sound ceasing to work, unless that's just a symptom of the system freezing up. | 20:28 |
| blockhd | yes, for movies, i use mplayer, its best. | 20:28 |
| karenw | Hi - Just wanted to make sure Xchat was working ok here. | 20:28 |

| whalebone | dual monitors Dell E177FPf and E173Fpf, ATI Radeon X300SE, opensource drivers installed. Both panels show desktop and start button, starting a program from either opens it on that monitor, but itcannot then be moved to the other | 20:29 |
| whalebone | also, the mouse will move from one to the other | 20:29 |
| Fryguy-- | Subrock: ok, so your video card id sest up correctly | 20:29 |
| KR-data | Fryguy--, found a strange solution :S "sudo rmmod ehci_hcd" do you know why that works and why that module give me trouble? | 20:29 |
| whalebone | and the monitors are reversed, right monitor is physically located on left side and vice-a-versa | 20:29 |
| Fryguy-- | whalebone: you have your monitors set up in the wrong mode, there's another dual mode that allows 1 large cohesive desktop instead of 2 separate desktops | 20:30 |
| Fryguy-- | KR-data: ubuntu might be loading the wrong usb drivers for your system | 20:30 |
| whalebone | hmm, is that the same "mode" that winxp uses? | 20:30 |
| blockhd | Explo | 20:30 |
| Fryguy-- | KR-data: there's 2 types of usb buses, ehci and i think the other is ohci, some systems use one or the other, and sometimes they can both be loaded without conflicts | 20:30 |
| Fryguy-- | rand0m: deluge | 20:31 |
| whalebone | under windows, one cohesive desktop makes priograms open in the middle of the desktop, which spans half the window of the program on each desktop | 20:31 |
| Explo | yeah? | 20:31 |
| whalebone | or i am getting my lingo backwards :) | 20:31 |
| KR-data | Fryguy--, ok, but isn't the kernel usually able to handle that without any trouble? | 20:31 |
| Fryguy-- | KR-data: keyword there is "usually" | 20:31 |
| Explo | brb | 20:31 |
| rand0m | Fryguy--, thanks yet again mate, cheers | 20:31 |
| KR-data | Fryguy--, good answer :p | 20:32 |
| Fryguy-- | Subrock: if you turn off desktop effects, do you still get the same general lagginess? | 20:32 |
| Subrock | fry: I gotta do some researching, I'll get back if something is found, this is really starnge that even this irc is lagging this much that I can type a sentence faster than the writing line updates | 20:32 |
| whalebone | i read that i should do these commands : sudo aticonfig --initial=dual-head --screen-layout=left | 20:32 |
| dr_Willis | whalebone, ive seen 'dumb' programs do that. but with my Nvidia video cards and the Nvidia twinview. Its not much of an issue. | 20:32 |
| Subrock | fry: where are these found? | 20:32 |
| whalebone | and sudo aticonfig -dtop=horizontal --overlay-on=1 | 20:32 |
| dr_Willis | whalebone, ati has a similer extension i belive also. | 20:32 |
| Fryguy-- | Subrock: system | appearance i think | 20:32 |
| Fryguy-- | Subrock: i dunno | 20:32 |
| whalebone | ok, how do i fix this then? | 20:32 |
| whalebone | if it works, i will try anything at this point | 20:32 |
| dr_Willis | !dualhead | 20:33 |
| ubottu | Information about dual-head on linux can be found on http://wiki.linuxquestions.org/wiki/DualHead - See also !Xinerama | 20:33 |
| Fryguy-- | whalebone: if you get the cohesive mode working, and windows opening up in the center of your screen annoys you, you can either configure your wm, or get another one that allows the configuration for you, or use something like devilspie that will stop that from happening | 20:33 |
| whalebone | this is also off a dual head card, not two cards | 20:33 |
| whalebone | ok, how do i get cohesive mode to work. I am something of a newb here i think :) | 20:34 |
| deekayen | i was working and x crashed | 20:34 |
| deekayen | when I logged back in, I got a session lasted less than 10 seconds error | 20:34 |
| bindaas | Fryguy--: i have actually extracted firefox's tar and i am making link to a script firefox but its not working , here is error-->http://pastebin.com/m2144b64c | 20:34 |
| deekayen | http://paste.ubuntu.com/25064/ | 20:34 |
| Fryguy-- | whalebone: in linux, the window manager (wm), is a separate standalone component. If has it's own settings for managing what to do with windows in all sorts of situations (and some with some really funky rulesets). It can be configured and/or swapped out for another one to suit your needs | 20:34 |
| Fryguy-- | bindaas: any reason why you aren't using the firefox in ubuntu? | 20:34 |
| whalebone | i think i am missing something here | 20:34 |
| deekayen | xgl used to have a bunch of errors in there, so I removed it, but it still dumps me back to gdm | 20:34 |
| whalebone | my wm is set to the hardy default | 20:34 |
| whalebone | whatever that is | 20:35 |
| bindaas | Fryguy-- : no :) | 20:35 |
| whalebone | this is a fresh install and full updated as of 2pm or so | 20:35 |
| Fryguy-- | whalebone: of course it is, i'm informing you that you can change the configuration for it, or use another one | 20:35 |
| CelticLord | slt | 20:35 |
| whalebone | alrighty, how would i do that? or cxan you point me to a tute that will show me? | 20:35 |
| Fryguy-- | bindaas: use packages in ubuntu's repository unless you have a very good reason not to. The repository is the primary reason why ubuntu is what it is. If you decide to go off and install packages on your own, you become responsible for managing those packages, and are responsible for all problems associated with those packages :) | 20:36 |
| Fryguy-- | whalebone: if you install compizconfig-settings-manager, there are plenty of options in there for controlling how windows appear on the screen | 20:36 |
| deekayen | i saw someone removed ~/.gnome2/session to fix this, but I don't have a session file there | 20:36 |
| bendb | I just burned three 8.04.1 CDs - one each of server, alternate, and desktop. How can I verify that I labelled them correctly? | 20:37 |
| bindaas | Fryguy--: sure but i was just trying that stuff | 20:37 |
| whalebone | ok, first off, the cohesive mode thing is not set and i do not think the something is setup correctly to begin with. | 20:37 |
| Fryguy-- | deekayen: what is the problem? | 20:37 |
| whalebone | this is not a "my windows are not appearing correctly issue" | 20:37 |
| rand0m | bendb, you pay attention to what you're doing while burning :P.. jk i feel you man, i did the same thing.. no clue how.. i just reburnt them cuz cds are cheap | 20:37 |
| neurodamage | does ubuntu have any magic way to login if i forgot all my passwords :), cause it's so user friendly or do I need a livecd and a bit of the old live cd with passwd root command ? | 20:37 |
| Fryguy-- | whalebone: i thought you said you found directions on how to reconfigure your dual display to do what you wanted | 20:37 |
| whalebone | no | 20:38 |
| Fryguy-- | neurodamage: option 2 | 20:38 |
| whalebone | not yet | 20:38 |
| Prose | anyone care to explain what a Persistent Install is ? | 20:38 |
| whalebone | :) | 20:38 |
| deekayen | Fryguy--: x crashed in the middle of my work and when I logged back in, it gives me a session lasted less than 10 seconds error and points me to http://paste.ubuntu.com/25064/ | 20:38 |
| whalebone | thats why i am here | 20:38 |
| FloodBot1 | whalebone: Please don't flood, use http://paste.ubuntu.com to paste, don't use Enter as punctuation. | 20:38 |
| neurodamage | Fryguy--, that's what I figured :), I was just messing around :) | 20:38 |
| nickrud | neurodamage boot in recovery mode (hit escape at boot where it says) , you're root there. Reset passwords | 20:38 |
| deekayen | Fryguy--: and it keeps dumping me back into gdm | 20:38 |
| Fryguy-- | deekayen: what happens if you choose failsafe in gdm | 20:39 |
| deekayen | Fryguy--: I can only failsafe into the terminal | 20:39 |
| Fryguy-- | deekayen: there is no failsafe gnome? | 20:39 |
| whalebone | dual monitors Dell E177FPf and E173Fpf, ATI Radeon X300SE, opensource drivers installed. Both panels show desktop and start button, starting a program from either opens it on that monitor, but itcannot then be moved to the other | 20:39 |
| peeaivo_ | hello, how can i make ubuntu boot to runlevel 3? | 20:39 |
| deekayen | Fryguy--: there is, but it gives me the same error | 20:39 |
| whalebone | anyone? | 20:39 |
| === hg is now known as hjjg | ||
| bendb | neurodamage: If you have a prompt, the command 'sudo passwd username' should work, where username is your username | 20:40 |
| nickrud | peeaivo_ runlevel 3 in ubuntu is same as 2 , this isn't redhat | 20:40 |
| Fryguy-- | deekayen: sorry, don't know | 20:40 |
| darkblue_b | Q. so what is it aout getting later packages? for example, the prigramming interface SWIG..I ust removed the 1.3 that was there.. where do I look to get a later packager? or fnd if its available? | 20:40 |
| * deekayen sighs | 20:40 | |
| Fryguy-- | darkblue_b: apt-cache search will allow you to search for packages, or use the synaptic gui for search | 20:41 |
| nickrud | peeaivo_ what are you trying to accomplish? | 20:41 |
| peeaivo_ | im trying to boot to text mode, you know | 20:41 |
| darkblue_b | Fryguy--: well.. the one in synapitc now is not new enough | 20:41 |
| Mr_Bad_News | i have this problem with my wireless card dying all suddenly like | 20:42 |
| Fryguy-- | darkblue_b: well that is all that is available in the ubuntu repositories then. Check out getdeb.net or build the package yourself manually | 20:42 |
| Mr_Bad_News | does anyone know how i fix this? | 20:42 |
| Subrock | fry: system monitor says that processor usage is 98-100% all the time, and this typing makes it stay over 100 all the time as I write | 20:42 |
| whalebone | its considered good etiquette to let someone know when you have decided you are not able to help them further | 20:42 |
| nickrud | peeaivo_ you can remove rename S30gdm to K30gdm in /etc/rc2.d | 20:42 |
| Fryguy-- | Subrock: open up a terminal and type top | 20:42 |
| peeaivo_ | ok | 20:42 |
| darkblue_b | Fryguy--: getdeb.net.. looking | 20:42 |
| whalebone | instead of letting them sit thinking you are gonna help them further. lo | 20:42 |
| Fryguy-- | Subrock: and identify the process that is running out of control | 20:42 |
| nickrud | peeaivo_ or, simply hit ctl-atl-f1 to get a text console | 20:42 |
| Mr_Bad_News | i'll be on the net and all the sudden my wireless card stops receiving and sending packets | 20:42 |
| Mr_Bad_News | and nothing shows up in iwlist scan | 20:42 |
| deekayen | one thing that's not making it into the xsession-errors file, but shows in the error message is (shortened): GnomeUI-warning IO error occured opening connection | 20:43 |
| darkblue_b | no luck.. going from source then | 20:43 |

| whalebone | anyone know how to fix this? | 20:43 |
| Subrock | fry: memory and swap seem to be at lower level and I think the netspeed is alright too, okay, wait a sec, I'l check | 20:43 |
| nickrud | !xxinerama | whalebone | 20:43 |
| ubottu | Sorry, I don't know anything about xxinerama | 20:43 |
| nickrud | !xinerama | whalebone | 20:43 |
| ubottu | whalebone: xinerama is an extension to !X to use two or more physical displays as one large virtual display. See https://help.ubuntu.com/community/XineramaHowTo - See also !DualHead | 20:43 |
| whalebone | thanks | 20:44 |
| whalebone | i really appreciate that :) | 20:44 |
| whalebone | will that work with ATI cards as well? | 20:44 |
| nickrud | whalebone don't ask for details from me, I haven't run dual monitors in years | 20:44 |
| nickrud | whalebone but it works with mismatched cards as weel | 20:44 |

| anteaya | i was able to change the keyboard mapping via xmodmap, but when i rebooted it revered back, how do i make the change permanent? | 20:48 |
| anteaya | reverted | 20:48 |
| Fryguy-- | anteaya: make a .Xmodmap file | 20:48 |
| Fryguy-- | anteaya: in your home diredctory | 20:48 |
| anteaya | Fryguy--, okay i will do that | 20:48 |
| will02 | i was trying to access some files on a remote server im testing and i get the error "could not open file... generic error" from nautilus | 20:48 |
| will02 | any ideas as to whats the problem? | 20:49 |
| Fryguy-- | will02: what protocol were you using? | 20:49 |
| will02 | fryguy-- im using a hamachi vpn but i also cannot connect via the vnc i set up using the tools that ubuntu comes with | 20:49 |
| Subrock | fryguy: Xorg, Xchat-gnome, init, metacity, gnome-terminal, gnome-screensaver, gnome-panel and many more these all flash evey now and then at te top, behind firefox, don't recognize these myself, Xorg stays there almost all the time with chat and firefox | 20:50 |
| Fryguy-- | will02: so how are you accessing the files | 20:50 |
| will02 | i use nautilus to navigate to the samba share that i have over the vpn | 20:50 |
| engineer | i use konqueror | 20:50 |
| anteaya | Fryguy--, the contents of this new .xmodmap file? What should go into it? | 20:51 |
| stewe | ciao a tutti | 20:51 |
| will02 | fryguy-- i dont know all the details of how it works, all i know is that it works | 20:51 |
| Fryguy-- | will02: you are probably specifying the wrong credentials to log in to the samba share then, make sure you are specifying the correct workgroup or domain | 20:51 |
| will02 | ok | 20:51 |
| Fryguy-- | anteaya: the settings that you want. I don't have the syntax memorized for it. There should be a manpage about xmodmap (or some google results for doing various things with it) | 20:51 |
| Fryguy-- | Subrock: what happens if you close firefox? | 20:52 |
| Fryguy-- | Subrock: does the machine behave correctly for the most part? | 20:52 |
| anteaya | Fryguy--, thank you | 20:52 |
| rand0m | when using desktop plane mode with compiz, how can I get it so I can grab an open windows titlebar and drag it to other workspaces in the plane ? i had it like that when i was using desktop cube mode but not sure what the option is called to allow cross workspacing dragging | 20:53 |
| Fryguy-- | rand0m: have you looked at compizconfig-settings-manager? | 20:54 |
| rand0m | yeah im using ccsm right now | 20:54 |
| rand0m | just not sure exactly what option it would be, there's so many | 20:54 |
| deekayen | does it help explain my <10 second x session error messages if I paste "GnomeUI-WARNING **: While connecting to session manager" | 20:54 |
| Fryguy-- | rand0m: the option to do what you want should be right there, probably with a similar name to the cube option | 20:54 |
| bendb | To answer my own question: I mounted each .iso image as a loopback device, and then compared (using diff) the md5sums.txt files. | 20:54 |

| Subrock | fryguy: let's try, I try to type a line again here, at least it seems to, but no, when the line get's longer than this window, it starts to freeze again, and this xchat takes 57% of CPU | 20:55 |
| === FriedCPU is now known as FRiEd|BnC | ||
| Subrock | fryguy: it seems that my CPU is too old for utumbu, XP uses it well but utumbu seems too heavy ;P | 20:56 |
| Fryguy-- | Subrock: maybe the out of the box ubuntu install is like that, but you can configure it to be as slim as you want. Ubuntu is built on top of a base system that I've had running on a 486 with 4mb ram | 20:57 |
| thiebaude | wow fryguy | 20:57 |
| Fryguy-- | Subrock: it x-chat is using that much cpu, it's probably having a bad interaction with something. Have you tried turning off desktop effects? | 20:57 |
| Subrock | fryguy: what is this Xorg process? I turned desktop effects of | 20:58 |

| Fryguy-- | xeer: yes, check out the command line options for mplayer. 'man mplayer' is going to highly all of the command line options available to you | 21:33 |
| Fryguy-- | highlight* | 21:33 |
| Fryguy-- | xeer: try something like mplayer -vo null sourcefile.mp4 | 21:34 |

| ElPando | when will anything pc become bullet proof? | 21:36 |
| geek_inn2 | i mean x server that handles screen resolution,when will it become solid unbreakable | 21:36 |
| TimMatrix | okay, thanks | 21:36 |

| enos_ | Philosophy Question: Why the heck is it that computers dont always act the same? Meaning that while something may work for me, it may not necessarily work for you, assuming we have identical specifications. For example, installing software sometimes we'll say, "let's hope this works" or "give a try it might work". If computers really are "scientific" why the heck are we praying all the time about our software? | 21:39 |
| deekayen | Fryguy--: re my 10 second session logging into x, does it help to know apache2 and gnome-session are segfaulting in dmesg? | 21:39 |
| bloodrock | TimMatrix, do you have auto update set | 21:39 |
| _2 | Fryguy-- no that's not the problem. media is empty and i don't normally use it anyway | 21:39 |
| Fryguy-- | enos_: because there are an extraordinary set of variables that go into the operation of a computer | 21:39 |
| _2 | anyone else ? | 21:39 |

| __yy | enos_: two machines having identical specifications is quite a bit rarer than you probably think | 21:40 |
| ariel_ | TimMatrix, try this in a terminal: cat /etc/lsb-release | 21:40 |
| Fryguy-- | deekayen: so stop apache (/etc/init.d/apache stop or something), and try this again | 21:40 |
| Fryguy-- | kenan: what is the output of "ls -ld ~/.share/local/Trash" | 21:41 |
| enos_ | __yy: that tells me you have little experience in the business world; I work for bank, all the computer there have identical specifications. | 21:41 |
| Fryguy-- | CaT_MaNZz: the latest version of pidgin works with icq | 21:41 |
| enos_ | computers* | 21:41 |
| _2 | can someone sujest to me why "mount /dev/sda /media" might hang ? | 21:41 |
| CaT_MaNZz | no its not working | 21:41 |
| bloodrock | TimMatrix, what you could do is open system.admin.update manager click on check if it shows no updates | 21:42 |
| Fryguy-- | _2: I just told you, it's hanging because you need to mount to a subdirectory | 21:42 |
| _2 | can someone sujest to me why "mount /dev/sda /media/sda" might hang ? | 21:42 |
| ariel_ | CaT_MaNZz, also meebo works fine for icq if you don't want the actual client installed on your system. | 21:42 |
| TimMatrix | ariel_: Thanks, it shows that the distrib_Description="Ubuntu 8.04.1" | 21:42 |
| _2 | Fryguy-- but you are wrong. | 21:42 |
| TimMatrix | cheers | 21:42 |
| kenan | Frygyt--: ls: cannot access /home/kenan/.share/local/Trash: No such file or directory | 21:42 |
| Fryguy-- | _2: various services keep an eye on the contents of /media, so if you drop a bunch of stuff into /media they are going to hang | 21:42 |
| Fryguy-- | kenan: whoops, maybe it's ~/.local/share/Trash | 21:42 |
| ariel_ | TimMatrix, any time. | 21:42 |
| CaT_MaNZz | ive downloaded lastes version, Pidgin 2.4.3 and it is said to me 'your version is too old' | 21:42 |

| Fryguy-- | _2: why don't you go ahead and try my solution instead of just assuming it won't work? | 21:42 |
| bloodrock | TimMatrix, you should have been auto updated to 8.04.1 then been sending updates this month like chickens with hjeads cut off lol | 21:43 |

| Bullitje | how to copy with sudo ? | 21:44 |
| bloodrock | TimMatrix, they also released a iso of 8.04.1 on distrowatch.com | 21:44 |
| Fryguy-- | _2: oh, wait, why are you mounting an entire drive? you can only mount a partition | 21:44 |
| shesek | Bullitje, sudo cp <from> <to> ? | 21:44 |
| wintermyoot | Does anyone else have problems starting mysql on server? | 21:44 |
| _2 | Fryguy-- cause it's a camera | 21:44 |

| Bullitje | thx shesek | 21:44 |
| yakobmatrix | anyone can give me ubuntu mailing list? | 21:44 |
| _2 | Fryguy-- there is no sda1 | 21:44 |
| _2 | it's not partitioned | 21:44 |
| Fryguy-- | _2: so? it still has partitions, you can't mount an entire drive, you can only mount a partition | 21:44 |
| _2 | no | 21:44 |
| Fryguy-- | _2: it needs to be | 21:44 |
| _2 | no | 21:44 |
| TimMatrix | bloodrock: I always update it as and when it becomes available. THing is that when I look up System Monitor, it shows 8.04, and my email from Ubuntu says the latest is 8.04.1, which is why I was puzzled. But I am glad that ariel has solved my question. | 21:45 |
| Fryguy-- | _2: /dev/sda is a block level device, it needs partitions to mount as a usb mass storage device | 21:45 |
| _2 | Fryguy-- i dont even have a partition on my /dev/hda | 21:45 |
| bloodrock | also can get iso of 8.04.1 at unbuntu.com | 21:45 |

| yakobmatrix | does anyone know any ubuntu maliling list? I'd like to join | 21:45 |
| Fryguy-- | _2: /dev/hda isn't being used anymore, it was obsoleted a few kernel versions ago | 21:45 |
| _2 | Fryguy-- it's mounted on /home | 21:45 |
| Fryguy-- | kenan: i saw it the first time, I don't know what the problem is | 21:45 |

| Bullitje | is there also a way to be root for a few minutes | 21:48 |
| Bullitje | without constantly using sudo | 21:48 |
| bloodrock | TimMatrix, i tried out the 8.10 it's a mess lol | 21:48 |
| ariel_ | you can always login via terminal with sudo -s | 21:48 |
| Bullitje | just doing it graphical noo bway | 21:48 |
| Redian | Bullitje: su | 21:48 |
| _2 | for the record. i have never seen mount just hang like this befor. i can't even kill -9 the process it's fully hung but doesn't seem to be affecting the rest of the system. | 21:48 |
| Fryguy-- | Bullitje: 'sudo su' will make you be root until you close that terminal | 21:48 |
| unop | Fryguy--, you have to understand that all globbing and expansion is done before bash passes the command line to sudo -- so ~ works fine there | 21:48 |
| kenan | unop: ah thank you, that did it | 21:48 |
| TimMatrix | 8.10? It ain't even released yet!? | 21:48 |
| aman | hey how install creative cam | 21:49 |
| erUSUL | !rootshell | Fryguy-- Bullitje | 21:49 |
| ubottu | Fryguy-- Bullitje: Using !sudo with single commands is preferable in most circumstances. However, if you really need a root shell, use « sudo -i » (other variants of this commands are redundant and/or potentially dangerous) | 21:49 |
| TimMatrix | bloodrock: It's supposed to be released in October | 21:49 |
| Redian | TimMatrix: It's released in october. 8 is the year, 10 is the month | 21:49 |
| bloodrock | timM can get it if ya go to distrowatch.com or ubuntu development | 21:49 |

Please help me in this... I can't afford to lose that data | 21:50 |

| bastid_raZor | Sa1; sounds like you just need to mount it. read the pm from ubottu and you will be fine. | 21:52 |
| geek_inn2 | myr it doesnt mount the root part or it will be missing entry in brub | 21:52 |
| bloodrock | sal you could try getting supergrub it's a small iso that can fix grub and windows boot loaders | 21:53 |
| TimMatrix | bloodrock: Okay, but I wouldn't try 8.10 as it'd be highly experimental at this stage. Granted that it does have the stability of 8.04, but some experimental system programs or the like in this 8.10 version aren't fully tested, hence the term "development". | 21:53 |
| myr | geek_inn2, it boots, just slowly | 21:53 |

| Bullitje | whuts wrong :S | 21:53 |
| Fryguy-- | 8.10 will be ready in october (hence the 10), if you'd like to help out with the development of it and experiment with it right now, go ahead, but don't expect it to be stable or usable at all, and don't be surprised if various aspects of it cause data loss on the system you are using it on (unlikely, but possible) | 21:54 |

| ganjaman | I got a Problem, i tried to open http://s3.global-streaming.net:7110/listen.pls But it doesnt work with amarok, maybe a error on the system? | 22:01 |
| geek_inn2 | firefox error -203 | 22:01 |
| branstrom | gl mode was the fastest one for me, anyways... I have an Nvidia card | 22:01 |
| bloodrock | sa1 is it just a drive with files on it or it have windows os on it as well | 22:01 |
| geek_inn2 | installing addons | 22:01 |
| unop | teckan, might be the CD-ROM drive at fault then (note, i said might be) | 22:01 |
| Sa1 | Bloodrock: its just a drive | 22:01 |
| Sa1 | the OS partition is alright ... i am able to boot into vista | 22:02 |
| branstrom | Sa1: read https://help.ubuntu.com/community/TestingStorageMedia | 22:02 |
| fernandos | the question was: can I undo installations in synaptic (not selecting everything by hand) | 22:02 |
| Fryguy-- | fernandos: no, just pick and choose what you want to uninstall and uninstall it | 22:02 |
| Sa1 | ok | 22:02 |
| teckan | unop, i agree it might be, because it is very old. however, i have no other way of installing it. and neither gentoo neither windows (argh) complain about the old cdrom drive. | 22:02 |
| bloodrock | did you try ntfs configuration utility? to set it to auto mount | 22:02 |
| branstrom | Sa1: and https://help.ubuntu.com/community/DataRecovery | 22:02 |
| unop | fernandos, i'm afriad there is no way | 22:02 |
| ganjaman | 7-11 = five, the stream is a illuminati | 22:02 |
| fernandos | what a bummer | 22:03 |
| Sa1 | bloodrock: i haven't done anytihng after that ... as i didnt want to mess up anything more | 22:03 |
| Bullitje | what is sudo command for deleting ? | 22:03 |
| Fryguy-- | Bullitje: rm | 22:03 |
| unop | teckan, have a look at the !minimal CD -- install just the base system and then install the ubuntu-desktop package when done | 22:03 |
| Sa1 | thanks branstrom | 22:03 |
| Bullitje | wtf | 22:03 |
| Bullitje | i cant delete a directory ? | 22:03 |
| Fryguy-- | Bullitje: rmdir | 22:03 |
| Bullitje | aah k | 22:03 |
| bloodrock | sa1 another thing to try is useing a livecd | 22:03 |
| fernandos | or rm -R | 22:04 |
| Bullitje | wtf | 22:04 |
| unop | Bullitje, if the directory has stuff in it, you need -r again - like with cp | 22:04 |
| Bullitje | i cant remove the map | 22:04 |
| starbucki | rm -R * | 22:04 |
| Bullitje | it isnt empty | 22:04 |
| geek_inn2 | installing addons i got error 203 can i know whats the problem | 22:04 |
| Fryguy-- | Bullitje: rm -rf | 22:04 |
| Bullitje | aah lol k thankx | 22:04 |
| Sa1 | yeah bloodrock ... i was thinking of that | 22:04 |
| geek_inn2 | in firerox | 22:04 |
| fernandos | Bullitje, recursive | 22:04 |
| teckan | unop, where to download it? could i eventually put it in a usb pen? (thanks a lot for the suggestions/support) | 22:04 |
| Bullitje | you think ahead of my noob questions | 22:04 |
| Bullitje | cool | 22:04 |

| juanma | Hey guys..well my question is: i got a fresh instalation of ubuntu hardy 8.04.1..now im using firefox and most of the pages are just white..i cant see the caracters..but i can see the layout and stuff.. does any1 know what the he** is that? | 22:04 |
| unop | !minimal | teckan | 22:04 |
| ubottu | teckan: The Minimal CD image is very small in size, and it downloads most packages from the Internet during installation, allowing you to select only those you want (the installer is like the one on the !Alternate CD). See https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Installation/MinimalCD | 22:04 |
| naynay | Hello everyone, I had to resize my partition on my main HDD, i just took 100mb off of it, but now every time i boot, ubuntu dumps me into a recovery shell. Does anyone know how to fix this? | 22:04 |

| ganjaman | i think, recommended, nothing | 22:06 |
| uberspaced | Fryguy--, the flashplugin-nonfree? | 22:06 |
| Fryguy-- | uberspaced: yes | 22:06 |
| Sa1 | Gabbler: my OS partition is fine ... the other NTFS partition with data on it is the one which is problematic | 22:06 |
| unop | uberspaced, yes | 22:06 |
| ganjaman | adobe is crap i think | 22:06 |
| undadecor | Fryguy--: it's recommend? | 22:06 |
| naynay | Fryguy, yeah, let me look through dmesg and i'll put them on a paste site | 22:06 |
| === FRiEd|BnC is now known as FriedCPU | ||

| gabbler | sa1: ok well mine was only example, you need to now which dev and then mount it where you want | 22:06 |
| unop | ganjaman, that's speculation - also offtopic | 22:06 |
| uberspaced | Fryguy--, after I removed that, stuff seems to run muuuch faster | 22:06 |
| ganjaman | yeah they are stoned , no 64bit for flash | 22:06 |
| uberspaced | i dunno if it just sucks or something | 22:07 |
| Fryguy-- | ganjaman: flash runs on 64-bit just fine | 22:07 |
| juanma | Hey guys..well my question is: i got a fresh instalation of ubuntu hardy 8.04.1..now im using firefox and most of the pages are just white..i cant see the caracters..but i can see the layout and stuff.. does any1 know what the he** is that? | 22:07 |
| uberspaced | but it was causing firefox to block or something,. | 22:07 |
| gabbler | geek_inn2: also try epiphany browser, very good and small | 22:07 |
| ganjaman | yeah, it runs, but how? | 22:07 |
| Sa1 | Gabbler: the drive in question is sda4 | 22:07 |
| Bullitje | hmm | 22:07 |
| Fryguy-- | ganjaman: ndiswrapper | 22:07 |

| phate | ciao | 22:08 |
| ferchault | any idea how to fix grub on secondary master? | 22:08 |
| gabbler | sa1: do a sudo vi /etc/fstab, do you have a reference for your drive in there | 22:08 |
| uberspaced | hmm. maybe that wasn't it. it's back to sucking again. | 22:08 |
| bloodrock | sa1 did you look in /media | 22:08 |

| Fryguy-- | earthmeLon: http://www.tc.umn.edu/~brams006/selfsign_ubuntu.html | 22:08 |
| naynay | Fryguy--: Is there anywhere other than dmesg that would have the errors? I can't spot it in the dmesg | 22:08 |
| Sa1 | bloodrock: yes ... it's not there | 22:08 |

| Guilo | i've got a problem with wine | 22:14 |
| geek_inn2 | i tried to install adblock and others too | 22:14 |
| gabbler | sa1: you can or you can use the mount command with -t ntfs and the relevant option | 22:14 |
| geek_inn2 | but it fails | 22:14 |
| blockhd | it says i dont have right G streamer plugin or dont have soundcard configured | 22:14 |

| Sa1 | shall i go ahead and add this line which you gave to fstab? | 22:15 |
| blockhd | maybe this is the problem? | 22:15 |
| blockhd | :S | 22:15 |
| === FRiEd|BnC is now known as FriedCPU | ||
| blockhd | it just stopped working, before restart everything was fine | 22:15 |
| gabbler | sa1: it doesn't matter, /xp is the mount point not the type of os, just make a dir (mkdir /vista) and then put it in the fstab | 22:15 |
| blockhd | no volume control gstreamer plugins and or device found | 22:16 |
| blockhd | thats the error when i try to open volume control | 22:16 |

| Bullit | ow to change the rights of a map | 22:17 |
| unop | dashgr, i think the version number listed for the browser plugin is different to the java version -- even i seem to have this discrepancy -- in any case, if you have the browser plugin loaded, java ought to work in your browser | 22:17 |
| norman_x | I have a Pixart Imaging, Inc. Easy Snap Snake Eye WebCam. Under Gutsy it is difficult, to install the driver, I know about. Is there anywhere a "just-install-and-use-it" driver for that webcam? | 22:17 |

| Bullit | only terminal | 22:18 |
| WebcamWonder | Bullit: gksu nautilus | 22:18 |
| gabbler | bullit: are you using gnome because dolphin is an alternative explorer | 22:18 |
| unop | Bullit, that's the way it should be, you don't want to change permissions on these files | 22:18 |
| dashgr | unop, i'm using iced tea 1.7, should i switch to sun | 22:18 |

| unop | Bullit, yes, i understand that, but you are copying system files across, these files require that you have the right permissions on them | 22:19 |
| dashgr | unop, i saw that there was a way to check my java installations and then switch by typing in a number | 22:19 |
| WebcamWonder | Bullit: To start a GUI explorer with sudo permissions, press Alt+F2 and type in gksu nautilus | 22:19 |
| unop | dashgr, someone mentioned using update-alternatives | 22:20 |
| gabbler | c0mrade: sudo apt-cache search courier | 22:20 |

| gabbler | c0mrade: i personally use dovecote you dont fancy that instead, i can give you a step by step install :) | 22:27 |
| Xavura | Does anyone know if there is a channel for help with GEdit? | 22:27 |

| gabbler | c0mrade: why do you need the authdaemon, coz in the ubuntu docs they dont use it | 22:29 |
| poningru | Xavura: IRC: #gedit on irc.gnome.org. | 22:29 |

| unop | Bullit, can i first ask you - are you makign a backup of your /boot partition ?? | 22:31 |
| bloodrock | juanma, you try changing the theme your useing | 22:31 |
| afallenhope | is there an easier way of manually setting my dns server? | 22:31 |
| p | hi .. I installed some update to firefox-2 (which I'm still using), and now none of my extensions work. they're installed, they just don't do anything. | 22:31 |
| p | any ideas how I can debug this? | 22:31 |
| unop | afallenhope, edit /etc/resolv.conf | 22:32 |
| afallenhope | I tried doing it from the Network but it keeps bringing back the old DNS server (it's down) | 22:32 |
| === chaky_ is now known as chaky | ||
| juanma | bloodrock: yeah..some1 told me to do it..but useless.. | 22:32 |
| Fryguy-- | p: tools | addons menu, do what you need to from there | 22:32 |
| Kalisto | PDF_q, i think you can change your mac with ifconfig. google it | 22:32 |
| Bullit | unop, no im copying a backtrack3 slax version from usb to a hardrive | 22:32 |
| Fryguy-- | p: this is a better question for #firefox though | 22:32 |
| bloodrock | juanma, k how bout the background color | 22:32 |
| unop | afallenhope, well, if your machine gets it's ip address from a DHCP server (your router, e.g.) -- then this entry will get overwritten the next time | 22:32 |
| juice` | hello, two of my 3 disks went down at the same time, one was part of RAID1, another was just fresh disk for backup, i really doubt it is hardware issue, any ideas? http://pastebin.com/m7e7af92f <- pasted syslog logs here... | 22:33 |
| Bullit | unop, i got full permision on the original files on usb , but no permisions when the files are on the HD ? | 22:33 |
| unop | afallenhope, the best thing to do is configure the DHCP server | 22:33 |
| juanma | bloodrock: dat 2. :S everything changed..but the caracters are still missing..even changing its color | 22:33 |
| p | Fryguy--: the addons menu says they are installed and enabled, but I'll ask in #firefox; thanks | 22:34 |
| blockhd | could be because of kernel update? | 22:34 |
| blockhd | help! :) | 22:34 |
| bloodrock | juanma, did you reboot after update and after reinstalling ff | 22:34 |
| unop | Bullit, see, this is how it is.. system files require very specific permissions on them or else you break security and also stop things from working -- stop trying to change these permissions, just copy them over with sudo and all will be good :) | 22:34 |
| juanma | bloodrock: nope.. | 22:34 |
| Bullit | but unop , this harddisk is only temporarily in this pc and it is a slax version , not my own ubuntu version. | 22:35 |
| Fryguy-- | Bullit: so? | 22:35 |
| Bullit | why do i need all this security then ? | 22:35 |
| unop | Bullit, that is not the issue, if you change the permissions - your slax thing will suffer - do you really want that? i don't think so | 22:35 |
| Bullit | will it suffer ? | 22:35 |
| Fryguy-- | Bullit: i don't think you understand. changing permissions of random system files will break things | 22:35 |
| bloodrock | juanma, might give that a try then i am out of suggestions | 22:35 |
| Bullit | ooh didnt know that ? | 22:35 |
| unop | Bullit, because slax requires the security or right permissions | 22:35 |
| Fryguy-- | Bullit: we've told you this, several times already | 22:36 |
| Bullit | didnt know then permissions transfer with the files , i thought they transfer with OS | 22:36 |
| earthmeLon | I added another virtualhost to my /etc/apache/sites-available/ and now whenever I go to my webserver to a .php file, it tries to download the .php instead of run it. ANy suggestion? | 22:36 |
| ne2k__ | Bullit: they are a property of the filesystem, actually | 22:36 |
| p | by the way, is the firefox-3 random seizure bug fixed? | 22:36 |
| Fryguy-- | Bullit: on linux filesystems it transfers with filesystem | 22:36 |
| Bullit | ooh | 22:36 |
| Bullit | hmm kj | 22:36 |
| Bullit | can see if i can fix the damage ive done | 22:36 |
| Fryguy-- | earthmeLon: make sure mime-types are set up correctly, and that you have php installed | 22:37 |
| juanma | bloodrock: Ok mate..thaks for the help... | 22:37 |
| poningru | p: huh? | 22:37 |
| Bullit | but then the question remains , why do i have full acces when the files are on my usb, but not when they are on my HD | 22:37 |
| Fryguy-- | Bullit: what is it _exactly_ that you are trying to do? whatever it is it sounds like you are doing it in the hardest way possible | 22:37 |
| bloodrock | juanma, when you took out ff did you do a complete removal | 22:37 |
| earthmeLon | Fryguy--, It was working before I followed the instructions you showed me | 22:37 |
| juanma | bloodrock: dats kinda strange..i mean i just installed the 8.4.1...codecs and apps...i tryed to install some fonts..and nothing else.. | 22:38 |
| albundy | is anyone having problems with Gmail Drive? I've been erroring out... | 22:38 |
| juanma | bloodrock: also deleted the fonts...cuz i though this was the problem..but was wrong | 22:38 |
| bloodrock | juanma, oh oh you installed some fonts?? | 22:38 |
| Fryguy-- | albundy: we need a specific error message to be of any help do you | 22:38 |
| p | poningru: the firefox 3 fsync bug | 22:38 |
| unop | Bullit, what filesystem on the USB disk? FAT ? | 22:38 |
| Bullit | fryguy, im copying backtrack 3 (a slax mod) from a usb to a boot HD for a new pc on this old linux pc | 22:38 |
| juanma | bloodrock: there are 2 tahoma fonts and 4 verdana fonts on /usr/share/fonts | 22:38 |
| Bullit | unop , yes probably | 22:39 |
| Fryguy-- | Bullit: why not just install it the normal way? | 22:39 |
| bloodrock | juanma, k you might try doing a complete removal of ff from the synmatic package manager | 22:39 |
| Bullit | isnt working | 22:39 |
| Fryguy-- | Bullit: you are now going to have to do grub and stuff manually, and that's not going to be fun | 22:39 |
| p | I think it is fixed, actually | 22:39 |
| Bullit | tried that | 22:39 |
| Bullit | backtrack 3 doesnt have a installer btw | 22:39 |
| juanma | yeah..trying this | 22:39 |
| unop | Bullit, does backtrack3 have a source package? | 22:40 |
| Bullit | jup | 22:40 |
| Fryguy-- | unop: backtrack is a linux distribution | 22:40 |
| Leefmc | Man smplayer has a lot of bugs in the interface. | 22:40 |
| Bullit | but that realy is over my head,,,, | 22:40 |
| Fryguy-- | Leefmc: such as? | 22:40 |
| bloodrock | juanma, so you delete all but 1 of each font? | 22:40 |
| unop | Fryguy--, ahh, didn't know that | 22:40 |
| earthmeLon | Fryguy-- Do i need to tell php that there are new virtualhosts somehow or somethign? >_< | 22:40 |
| Fryguy-- | bloodrock: don't do that | 22:40 |
| albundy | Fryguy, I think Google blocked the app | 22:40 |
| Fryguy-- | juanma: don't delete the fonts, they are separate for bold, italic, and such) | 22:40 |
| Fryguy-- | albundy: no error message = we can't help you | 22:41 |
| Fryguy-- | earthmeLon: no | 22:41 |
| Leefmc | Fryguy--: The interface for key configs is sh-t heh. I can't seem to make a single button, consistently, do what it is supposed to do. | 22:41 |
| Fryguy-- | earthmeLon: #apache | 22:41 |
| bloodrock | fryguy wasn't telling him to do it was asking if he did | 22:41 |
| juanma | Fryguy: yeah dats it... | 22:41 |
| blockhd | anyone else with audio not working? | 22:41 |
| earthmeLon | ty <3 | 22:41 |

| woody86 | Good Mornin' #ubuntu! | 22:42 |
| Leefmc | Fryguy--: My space bar says pause only, yet it acts as pause and play. Period is a skip one frame, yet it constantly is acting as pause and play, though if you use it for our five times then it starts acting as a frame skip. | 22:42 |
| Bullit | backtrack doesnt even have a installer | 22:42 |
| albundy | Gmail Drive - Error : An error occurred: Login Failed. | 22:42 |
| Fryguy-- | Leefmc: both of those buttons work fine for me | 22:42 |
| Bullit | biggest problem is that i have to install backtrack without internet | 22:42 |
| Leefmc | Fryguy--: The Pause button acts as a pause, and a skip frame (though this may be intended), etc. | 22:42 |
| albundy | System Error Message: Cookie Error - Unable to fetch Gmail Service cookies | 22:42 |

| Hornet | hello all ... having a rather interesting issue with the alternate installer. It won't recognise my keyboard as soon as I start the installer proper, it works in bios & the initial menu, but but not when it starts. It's a usb keyboard, and using a usb->ps2 adaptor results in no keyboard found at all | 22:44 |

| nerdygirl | ok, then how do i update my network drivers?!? | 22:44 |
| Fryguy-- | nerdygirl: ask questions if you want. If you are comfortable with simple tasks, and have problems finding solutions to them, there are always other operating systems available to use if you prefer those more | 22:44 |
| Fryguy-- | nerdygirl: why do they need to be updated | 22:45 |
| the_herby | nerdygirl, whats wrong with your network drivers?? | 22:45 |
| Leefmc | gabbler: I've hated vlc for a long time. I tested it and found it to be trash in windows and linux heh. Dont get me wrong, it plays everything under the sun, but its not a solid program. Its always felt a bit sluggish, as if it was playing a video, but didn't have tight control over the video. | 22:45 |

| bloodrock | juanma, then add one at a time to test each | 22:51 |
| patrik | I heard there was some way to control the light on backside of the cover on the Mac laptops. Can anyone confirm that? | 22:51 |

| amon-kill | hola | 22:52 |
| Leefmc | gabbler: I'm still trying to get a decent H264 output. So far the best i've come up with is turning a 10mb 1440x900 OGG into a 50MB 720xsomething H264. | 22:52 |
| Martinzz | desde Iowa | 22:52 |
| juanma | bloodrock: almost al sites | 22:53 |
| Leefmc | gabbler: So obviously, there is something to be desired there. hah | 22:53 |
| hiptobecubic | maybe a program that does it? | 22:53 |
| Martinzz | q chistoso | 22:53 |
| amon-kill | jajjaja | 22:53 |

| BCS-Satori_ | I have a question in regards to the swap partition. I have a macbook pro, that I am going to triple boot and have not put ubuntu on a laptop before. My question is do I need to make the swap file as large as my system memory? I have 4GB of memory on my machine. | 22:53 |
| amon-kill | cuantos años tienes | 22:53 |
| BCS-Satori_ | so that my machine can hibernate | 22:53 |
| amon-kill | ?? | 22:53 |
| Martinzz | ah ya mira como funciona | 22:54 |
| amon-kill | dime | 22:54 |
| juanma | largate cojjone! jajaja hablas en inglés! | 22:54 |
| Fryguy-- | BCS-Satori_: you need to if you want hibernate to work correctly, otherwise no | 22:54 |
| gabbler | bsc-satori_:i wouldn't there is no need, 1-2 gb should be fine | 22:54 |
| Fryguy-- | gabbler: not true | 22:54 |
| bloodrock | juanma, but when you move your mouse over area then you see the text | 22:54 |
| amon-kill | dime como funciona | 22:54 |
| Martinzz | Hello, anybody knows about a driver to my network card? | 22:54 |
| Fryguy-- | Martinzz: ask a more detailed question please | 22:54 |
| Leefmc | gabbler: Thats actually from Blender. As i haven't had luck compiling FFMPEG with H264 (well, x264). It seems Linux is great, but if you venture into the wrong area you are put into a old maze cavern with only a map and a matchstick to find your way out. | 22:54 |
| amon-kill | martinzz | 22:55 |
| juanma | bloodrock: no..thats woot i cant understand...i cant see any caracter | 22:55 |
| BCS-Satori_ | Fryguy--: and should in linux its 1000x1000 not 1024x1024 for size right? so i would make an 4000MB swap not 4096MB | 22:55 |
| Fryguy-- | Leefmc: yes that is true with ubuntu. if you get outside of the package management system and start trying to do things on your own that happens | 22:55 |
| gabbler | fryguy--,bcs-satori_:i dunno but i have two gigs of memory and have a two gig swap and the most i have seen used is a couple hundred mb | 22:55 |
| Martinzz | how can I see what is my network card? | 22:55 |
| amon-kill | no se ingles | 22:55 |
| Fryguy-- | BCS-Satori_: no | 22:55 |
| Leefmc | Fryguy--: Heh, wish the package management system would keep up then ;P | 22:55 |
| Martinzz | solo preguntas | 22:55 |
| Martinzz | y te responden | 22:55 |
| amon-kill | q pregunto | 22:55 |

| Fryguy-- | gabbler: you need swap equal to memory size if you want hibernate to work correctly, which is what he was askin gabout | 22:56 |

| gabbler | fryguy--: but surely thats active memory not total | 22:56 |
| juanma | bloodrock: it refresh...but stay on the same bloody error | 22:56 |
| Fryguy-- | Leefmc: it's the philosophy of ubuntu and other debian based systems to not do that. There are other distributions with other package management systems available that stay more up to date on a regular basis | 22:56 |
| amon-kill | i quiero experimentar | 22:56 |
| nerdygirl | the readme states to install mac80211 first.. ?!? | 22:56 |

| gordonjcp | is apt-cache search a bit broken for anyone else? | 22:57 |
| Fryguy-- | BCS-Satori_: at least, you should probably have a bit over that to account for normal things that go into swap | 22:57 |
| bloodrock | juanma, it shows you a error message? | 22:57 |
| Martinzz | asi q tuve q instalarlo de nuevo | 22:57 |
| gabbler | leefmc: too true, i had to use ffmpeg a while back and ubunut repsoitory didn't cut the mustard and it was hell to compile all the options in | 22:57 |
| Oli`` | Martinzz juanma amon-kill: this is an english support channel - take this to #ubuntu-es | 22:57 |
| Fryguy-- | gabbler: for hibernation to work correctly you need a swap the size of your system memory | 22:57 |
| gordonjcp | it seems to be matching a really overly-broad range of things | 22:57 |
| Martinzz | y el internet no funca | 22:57 |

| Warp4 | Fryguy--: thanks :) just didnt see the alpha 1 version available in a desktop release, just server | 22:59 |
| amon-kill | oie | 22:59 |

| amon-kill | hello | 23:00 |
| nerdygirl | then why do i get this warning: &shell not set to bash when i try to make the mac80211? | 23:00 |
| gordonjcp | hiptobecubic: isn't it dash by default? | 23:00 |
| Fryguy-- | gordonjcp: no | 23:00 |
| gordonjcp | Fryguy--: hm | 23:00 |
| gordonjcp | Fryguy--: sure about that? | 23:00 |
| Warp4 | amon-kill: if you speak in english, perhaps we can help you :) | 23:00 |
| hiptobecubic | gordonjcp, i'm pretty sure it's bash | 23:00 |
| bloodrock | juanma, in the preferences for ff you you check the content setup options | 23:00 |
| patrik | BCS-Satori_, ok, missed that :) | 23:00 |
| Fryguy-- | nerdygirl: export SHELL=/bin/bash before using make then | 23:00 |

| nerdygirl | ok | 23:00 |
| Leefmc | Fryguy--: Im confused though, i understand why ffmpeg doesn't have h264, but i dont understand why it doesn't have x264 or .. ogg, both of which are open and free, right? | 23:00 |
| BCS-Satori_ | patrik: no worries thanks | 23:00 |
| Fryguy-- | yes | 23:01 |
| Leefmc | Fryguy--: ogg especially | 23:01 |
| Fryguy-- | and both of those are available | 23:01 |
| Warp4 | nerdygirl: if its available, you should also be able to use chsh IIRC | 23:01 |
| juanma | bloodrock: K..wtas next? | 23:01 |
| Fryguy-- | Leefmc: we use x264 with ffmpeg at work, works fine | 23:01 |
| Leefmc | Fryguy--: If compiled, yes, im talking default | 23:01 |
| Leefmc | Fryguy--: Ie, the one you grab from the repos | 23:01 |

| bloodrock | juanma, cool beans | 23:06 |
| woody86 | Fryguy - well I have absoloutly NO programming experience, a guy on the forum helped me come up with the code, lol | 23:06 |
| BCS-Satori_ | patrik: so you wrote it to the partition that ext3 / was on | 23:06 |
| patrik | BCS-Satori_: when you boot up you can choose rEFIt control (or something similar). That will just fix it for you | 23:06 |

| corrupt | thanks fryguy. | 23:09 |
| nerdygirl | umm, no | 23:09 |
| Oli`` | corrupt: flawless?! there isn't such a thing - even for windows. they either weigh too much, dont have enough battery, have a stupid keyboard, poor trackpad, etc,etc,etc | 23:09 |
| Warp4 | ok i have what i think to be a legit question :) i have in my charge 6 servers that have 16GB of RAM and dual quad-core Xeon processors. I am thinking that the 64 bit version of Ubuntu (or even Debian for that matter) with the BIGMEM kernel would yield better performance on these machines. One, am I correct in this assumption and two, is 64-bit Linux ready for "prime time" production use... | 23:09 |
| BCS-Satori_ | patrik: havent messed with it yet, but i dont see anything talking about it working or not working on the site https://help.ubuntu.com/community/MacBookPro but granted thats the pro one | 23:09 |
| Warp4 | ...these days? | 23:09 |
| MeRodent | I still think ubotto's language faqs should explain how to join another channel considering most people that don't know where to go also don't know how to get ther. | 23:09 |

| Nikilos | My wireless completely died after recent updates on Hardy :( | 23:09 |

| corrupt | Oli``, well then a notebook that generally gets good reviews... | 23:10 |
| patrik | BCS-Satori_: I browsed google for it for quite long, but didn't find anything. Perhaps I dreamt about it or something... | 23:10 |
| Fryguy-- | Nikilos: so reinstall your wireless drivers, you probably got a new kernel | 23:10 |
| BCS-Satori_ | patrik: look here https://help.ubuntu.com/community/MacBook under Brightness | 23:10 |

| Fryguy-- | nerdygirl: you are in way over your head with that driver btw. You have pretty much 0 chance of getting it installed | 23:14 |
| gavi | Oli``, which is better? | 23:14 |
| mangosteen | i try to install it anyway then | 23:14 |
| bloodrock | nerdygirl, type ./configure | 23:15 |
| Oli`` | gavi: depends what you want to do - have a play | 23:15 |
| MatBoy | guys, I can recommend JWM :) | 23:15 |
| Fryguy-- | bloodrock: it needs kernel headers | 23:15 |
| nerdygirl | ./configure does nothing no such file or directory | 23:15 |
| Fryguy-- | nerdygirl: why not just google "ubuntu 3945" and solve the problem that way, instead of trying to manually compile kernel drivers | 23:15 |
| gavi | Oli``, which would u say is easier to get a hang of? | 23:15 |

| Oli`` | gavi: there are a LOT more apps you'll want to experiment with - those are just the two I use for the tasks I need to do. Avidemux is simple as hell but it's also limited to postprocessing-tasks. cenerella is fugly and complicated but it's powerful (like premiere). there are some apps in the middle but I have no use of them so haven't tested any | 23:16 |
| Oli`` | gavi: I mean Cinelerra http://cinelerra.org/ | 23:17 |
| gavi | Oli``, good explination.. i prob want the fugly one but not in this point in time... right now i want to start off with simple youtube video edits | 23:17 |

| Fryguy-- | purplestar: brasero might do what you need | 23:18 |
| Oli`` | purplestar: todisc | 23:18 |
| joaopinto | purplestar, you can try mandvd | 23:18 |
| joaopinto | Fryguy--, brasero supports dvd creation with menus ? | 23:18 |
| Fryguy-- | joaopinto: no idea | 23:18 |
| Oli`` | mandvd is good too | 23:18 |
| gavi | is avidemux good for this | 23:18 |
| purplestar | which one helps me create a DVD menu, music in background and then create DVD? | 23:18 |
| joaopinto | Fryguy--, dvd authoring and dvd burning are different functions, brasero as far as I know is a burning tool ;) | 23:18 |
| Fryguy-- | joaopinto: like i said i have no idea | 23:19 |
| joaopinto | purplestar, I believe mandvd allows that | 23:19 |
| Fryguy-- | joaopinto: i said "might do what you need" | 23:19 |
| gavi | im gona try it | 23:19 |
| Oli`` | purplestar: take a look at mandvd | 23:19 |
| gavi | thanks Oli`` | 23:19 |
| joaopinto | Fryguy--, no prob, you have an idea now :P | 23:19 |

| Oli`` | yes, with no warranties from me =) | 23:20 |
| Fryguy-- | ShinjinAkage: what do you want to mount | 23:20 |
| purplestar | is http://www.getdeb.net a trustworthy website? | 23:20 |
| Oli`` | purplestar: yes | 23:20 |
| joaopinto | with as much guarantees from me as you would get from the source | 23:21 |
| Fryguy-- | purplestar: sort of | 23:21 |
| ShinjinAkage | Fryguy--: An internal Hard drive. | 23:21 |
| joaopinto | purplestar, that particular package was built by me... | 23:21 |
| purplestar | Fryguy--: why do you say sort of? | 23:21 |
| Rhorse | ShinjinAkage, type ls -rt /dev for list of devices | 23:21 |
| Fryguy-- | ShinjinAkage: it'll be /dev/sda, /dev/sdb, /dev/sdc, /dev/sdd, etc, depending on how many hard drives you have in the machine and which one ubuntu is installed on | 23:21 |
| joaopinto | purplestar, because in general is is not safe to install .debs from random sites | 23:21 |
| purplestar | joaopinto: you built the deb package from http://www.getdeb.net/release/2881 ? | 23:21 |
| Fryguy-- | purplestar: it's not the official ubuntu repositories, so it's not supported by ubuntu, and you'll occasionally run into issues because of this | 23:22 |
| Rhorse | the most recently detected are at the bottom of the list | 23:22 |
| joaopinto | everything that comes out of the repositories is not as safe as from them | 23:22 |
| joaopinto | purplestar, yes I did | 23:22 |
| purplestar | Fryguy--: but will installing that DEB comprimise my ubuntu security? Because I use ubuntu for netbanking etc | 23:22 |
| Fryguy-- | ShinjinAkage: and then you'll have to specify the right partition for the drive that you find, use cfdisk or fdisk to find these | 23:22 |
| === woody86 is now known as woody86_not_real | ||
| Fryguy-- | purplestar: yes | 23:22 |
| purplestar | joaopinto: I use Ubuntu for netbanking, credit card account etc, is it safe to install that? | 23:22 |
| === woody86_not_real is now known as woody86 | ||
| joaopinto | purplestar, if you have the same reason for trust me, as you would truste on the source, unless you are a programmer and usually check the code before compiling :) | 23:23 |
| purplestar | joaopinto: maybe you built that package to hack my ubuntu? How can I be certain its safe? | 23:23 |
| Fryguy-- | purplestar: you can't | 23:23 |
| purplestar | does anyone here know joaopinto ? Is he a regular member of Ubuntu community? | 23:23 |
| joaopinto | purplestar, maybe all the ubuntu devs owned your system .. please give me a break | 23:23 |
| Oli`` | purplestar: you can't but the same *could* be said for things already installed on your computer. you haven't checked every line of code, have you? | 23:23 |
| purplestar | can anyone here vouch for joaopinto and his credibility? | 23:24 |
| Fryguy-- | purplestar: if you have concernes about security, don't install packages from sources other than the ubuntu repository. pretty simple | 23:24 |
| purplestar | Oli``: do you know joaopinto and is http://www.getdeb.net/release/2881 safe webpage? | 23:24 |
| Oli`` | purplestar: in fairness, I gave you a link there too. it's a common resource for Ubuntu users | 23:24 |
| purplestar | Fryguy--: yes thats why Im asking about http://www.getdeb.net/release/2881 | 23:24 |
| joaopinto | purplestar, forget it.. keep with the repositories please.. you already got enough information | 23:24 |
| purplestar | joaopinto: yeah I will keep with the Ubuntu, because I do not know you, nor can I trust someone I dont know. thanks anyway | 23:25 |
| purplestar | does anyone know a DVD authoring package from Ubuntu repos? | 23:25 |
| Fryguy-- | purplestar: check out mandvd | 23:25 |

| purplestar | nickrud: Hello, May I please ask you to verify for me if mandvd is safe for me to install from http://www.getdeb.net/release/2881 ? | 23:29 |
| Fryguy-- | SliMM: you need to generate keys for the server itself for fingerprinting purposes | 23:29 |
| Fryguy-- | SliMM: it's done as part of the package install for openssh, so i dunno what you are doing | 23:29 |
| purplestar | joaopinto: do yuou know nickrud ? | 23:29 |
| Rhorse | ShinjinAkage, what you prolly want is -t vfat | 23:29 |
| joaopinto | SliMM, Please read http://pkeck.myweb.uga.edu/ssh/ , if you are looking for passwordless ssh logins | 23:29 |

| rsbax | ntoskrnl: ffmpeg will be capable of reading the *.flv properly? | 23:33 |
| Fryguy-- | j-ninja0: wine isn't an emulator. if you are looking for virtualization, check out virtualbox of vmware | 23:33 |
| purplestar | joaopinto: but I wont install anything outside of Ubuntu repos unless they can be verified by Seveas or nickrud or a well known regular here | 23:34 |
| j-ninja0 | why do you think im using linux. i dont pay for software | 23:34 |
| Oli`` | j-ninja0: Wine is not an emulator =) | 23:34 |
| Overand | Is there a way to use LTSP, but have a 'thin' installation on a system that can't/shouldn't boot from the network? | 23:34 |
| IndyGunFreak | j-ninja0: then that shows you know little about linux goals... | 23:34 |
| td123 | j-ninja0: wine != emulator | 23:34 |
| Oli`` | purplestar: please drop this. | 23:34 |
| IndyGunFreak | j-ninja0: but there's some other free options, i imagine you'll find them | 23:34 |

| purplestar | Oli``: are you an OP? | 23:34 |
| Oli`` | purplestar: no but you're taking this too far. you can't trust getdeb. don't use it | 23:34 |
| joaopinto | j-ninja0, and WINE is not a pure emulator. its more like a wndows reimplementation | 23:34 |
| IndyGunFreak | purplestar: what are you trying to install? | 23:34 |
| td123 | lol, purplestar playing tough guy | 23:34 |

| purplestar | IndyGunFreak: mandvd from http://www.getdeb.net/release/2881. safe? | 23:35 |
| td123 | william: did you check synaptic? | 23:35 |
| SliMM | Fryguy--: http://pastebin.ubuntu.com/25087/ | 23:35 |
| IndyGunFreak | purplestar: never heard of it but i'm w/ nickrud i don't use really anything outside the repos. | 23:35 |
| purplestar | nickrud: I have never installed anything outside of repos. But i want a good DVD authoring program. joaopinto recommendd mandvd from http://www.getdeb.net/release/2881. But I am not sure its safe | 23:36 |
| Fryguy-- | SliMM: you pasted the key wrong | 23:36 |
| IndyGunFreak | purplestar: there are tools for creating dvd's in the repos i imagine | 23:36 |
| purplestar | IndyGunFreak: me either, thanks for looking | 23:36 |
| nickrud | purplestar, getdeb has a long reputation | 23:36 |
| td123 | purplestar: just use something that's in the repos | 23:36 |
| purplestar | nickrud: so you think mandvd from http://www.getdeb.net/release/2881 would be rather safe? | 23:36 |
| Fryguy-- | SliMM: the format of authorized keys is "key comment" one per line | 23:37 |
| td123 | purplestar: just try it | 23:37 |
| william | td123, i did a search for ace and 2 zillion things showed up. i have already got anything that looked plausable aka 7-zip and any archive manager looking thing | 23:37 |
| j-ninja0 | im just wanting an oppinion of a good one not a "need to know what" (eg. is cedega any good?) | 23:37 |
| SliMM | Fryguy--: in authorized_keys? | 23:37 |
| Oli`` | It's a good thing I'm not an op >:D | 23:37 |
| Fryguy-- | SliMM: looks like you are using puttygen, and copied the wrong thing | 23:37 |
| SliMM | Fryguy--: that refferes to my private key | 23:37 |
| nickrud | purplestar, I"ve never heard anything that says getdeb is an unreliable source. And I would if it was suspected | 23:37 |
| purplestar | td123: whats the best DVD authoring program in repos that help me create a DVD menu, background musc, background picture and inport my personal mpeg? Is "todiscgui" the best one? | 23:37 |
| kosnick | my ubuntu crashed and so far i can not find a solution to recover it. If i install a new over the old one what will happen to the apps i already have installed? I have separate partitions for os and /home . What if i install a newer version (i had 7.04 and want to change it to 8.04) | 23:37 |
| SliMM | Fryguy--: line 8 | 23:37 |
| Fryguy-- | SliMM: when you use puttygen there is a box that says "copy this for openssh" | 23:37 |
| purplestar | nickrud: ok thanks | 23:37 |
| Fryguy-- | SliMM: you copied the key wrong | 23:37 |
| SliMM | no, ssh-keygen | 23:37 |
| j-ninja0 | cedega, any good? | 23:38 |
| IndyGunFreak | purplestar: ive used getdeb in the past w/o issue.. i imagien you'll be ok w/ that program.. but thats just my thinkin | 23:38 |
| SliMM | I'll just do it again | 23:38 |
| td123 | purplestar: I don't know any packages that do that, mainly since I've never needed them. Just try whatever you think works and you'll learn | 23:38 |
| purplestar | IndyGunFreak: yeah, but I will do what you initally suggested, just stick with the ubuntu repos. thats the safest option. thanks | 23:38 |
| IndyGunFreak | ya | 23:38 |

| purplestar | td123: im trying todiscgui now | 23:39 |
| Fryguy-- | kosnick: you'll lose all of your applications, but most of your settings will be restored | 23:39 |
| nickrud | purplestar, or, if you're feeling frisky, try compiling it yourself from the sources | 23:39 |
| Pici | purplestar: or devede | 23:39 |
| kosnick | Fryguy : thanks | 23:39 |
| joaopinto | DeVeDe may also do what you want, not sure | 23:39 |
| IndyGunFreak | devede, thats the one i was trying to rememnber | 23:39 |
| purplestar | Rhorse: wanted something with more options than dvdauthor. im trying todiscgui now | 23:39 |
| purplestar | nickrud: but how do I know the source code is reliable? I cannot understand source code. So its the same thing. dont know if I can trust anything from outside the repos | 23:40 |
| Fryguy-- | purplestar: so then don't | 23:40 |
| Oli`` | purplestar: how can you trust anything in the repos? | 23:40 |
| purplestar | Pici: ok ill look at devede too | 23:40 |
| Fryguy-- | purplestar: and just use the repos | 23:40 |
| purplestar | Fryguy--: im not going to. im tryung todiscgui now | 23:40 |
| nickrud | purplestar, gotta trust somewhere. The original source is what the repos start with. So, if you get the source from the original site, you're as safe as you can get | 23:40 |
| Fryguy-- | purplestar: you are beating a dead horse at this point. you've been given numerous suggestions to your problem | 23:40 |
| sakura13 | nabend | 23:41 |
| SliMM | Fryguy--: so, after I used ssh-keygen I have two files ~/.ssh and a fingerprint on the screen | 23:41 |
| SliMM | Fryguy--: what should I do next? | 23:41 |
| purplestar | ok thanks everyone. I have decided to only use ubuntu repos. And i just installed todiscgui and will try that. thanks everyone for your help | 23:41 |
| sakura13 | hmm versteh was nicht bei ubuntu wo ist denn bittte openssh | 23:41 |
| Fryguy-- | SliMM: you should have id_rsa and id_rsa.pub | 23:41 |
| Rhorse | purplestar, DVDStyler, DeVeDe, ManDVD, and tovidgui are others that I think are still actively developed. | 23:41 |
| joaopinto | ufff | 23:41 |
| SliMM | Fryguy--: I do | 23:41 |
| SeaPhor | i am building a new server to replace an existing server, any way to import the users, policies, and server settings, or will i need to set all up manually | 23:42 |
| Fryguy-- | SliMM: so copy id_rsa.pub over to your server, and then "cat id_rsa.pub > ~/.ssh/authorized_keys" | 23:42 |
| === abd is now known as palmtree | ||
| purplestar | Rhorse: im going to try todiscgui, devede. | 23:42 |
| kosnick | as i said already my ubuntu crashed . i think it has to do with vars.sh . Someone proposed that i should reistall initscripts with " sudo aptitude reinstall initscripts" but when i do this i get some error with /usr/lib/libsigc-2.0.so.0 . Any explanations about it? | 23:42 |
| insomninja | what is the difference between /dev/random and /dev/urandom? | 23:42 |
| === steven is now known as StevenX | ||
| Rhorse | purplestar, OK -- Also KDE has some tools if you're ok with that dte. | 23:42 |
| Fryguy-- | insomninja: urandom will continue to generate psuedorandom data when it runs out of entropy, random will block | 23:42 |
| X-m | hey | 23:43 |
| purplestar | Rhorse: : Couldn't find package dvdstyler | 23:43 |
| purplestar | Rhorse: im using Gnome, how do I use KDE? | 23:43 |
| Fryguy-- | purplestar: just install KDE apps, and it'll just work | 23:43 |
| william | purplestar, have you tried "sudo apt-get install kubuntu-desktop" | 23:43 |
| purplestar | Fryguy--: which KDE apps? :P | 23:44 |
| magribe | Hi. I've recorded a sequence with audacity it worked perfectly but then if I try to record a second sequence while the first one is playing at the same time after a while the sound lags. What can I do? | 23:44 |
| SliMM | Fryguy--: then? | 23:44 |
| obf213 | hey, i remember on the old distros there was a much more comprehesive preferred application application, for example u could choose how .doc files were opend etc. where is that? the preferred applications now has like 3 choices | 23:44 |
| purplestar | william: no, what does that do? | 23:44 |
| Fryguy-- | SliMM: connect to server and it'll use the key | 23:44 |
| Oli`` | purplestar: please don't run that | 23:44 |
| william | purplestar, that install kde :) | 23:44 |
| purplestar | what does sudo apt-get install kubuntu-desktop" do? | 23:44 |
| insomninja | Fryguy--, thanks, so random is to be preferred in an encryption context I suppose? | 23:44 |
| joaopinto | purplestar, I need to say this.. dvdstyler is available from getdeb :D | 23:44 |
| purplestar | joaopinto: hehe :) | 23:44 |
| Fryguy-- | insomninja: yes | 23:44 |
| Oli`` | joaopinto: >_< | 23:44 |
| purplestar | joaopinto: are you a regular here? | 23:44 |
| william | magribe, you might try the low latency kernal for that | 23:44 |
| joaopinto | purplestar, yes, at least during last month | 23:44 |
| purplestar | joaopinto: are you a programmer? | 23:45 |
| SliMM | Fryguy--: I'll connect using putty, from my windows machine | 23:45 |
| Fryguy-- | SliMM: then you need to use puttygen to generate your key | 23:45 |
| SliMM | Fryguy--: does that matter, as long as I take the private key with me? | 23:45 |
| Fryguy-- | or import id_rsa into puttygen and have it convert it to a .ppk for you | 23:45 |
| SliMM | Fryguy--: ok | 23:45 |
| Fryguy-- | SliMM: putty uses a completely different format for keys | 23:45 |
| Oli`` | joaopinto: now you've done it.. another 25 minutes explaining the merits and drawbacks of getdeb | 23:45 |
| nickrud | purplestar, this is getting repetitive, if you want to continue searching for a handle on trust over irc, please continue it on #ubuntu-offtopic | 23:45 |
| joaopinto | purplestar, I was i the past, google for "ptlink software", right now I just do packaging & web dev work for getdeb | 23:45 |
| obf213 | how do i get rhythmbox to not load when i plug in my ipod? | 23:46 |
| purplestar | joaopinto: yuou said you compiled the mandvd deb on that website. Did you read and understand ever line of code? If not, then how can you be sure its safe? | 23:46 |
| SliMM | Fryguy--: but otherwise I shouldn't be able to login from putty, right? | 23:46 |
| purplestar | nickrud: ok | 23:46 |
| Fryguy-- | purplestar: the only distro that does line by line auditing of code is openbsd, if you care about that you should be running openbsd instead of anything else | 23:46 |
| joaopinto | purplestar, oh.. wait.. you believe the ubuntu developers read the entire source from another author when packaging :) ? | 23:46 |
| purplestar | Fryguy--: ok | 23:46 |
| Fryguy-- | SliMM: you can still log in with password based authentication | 23:46 |
| matelot | z | 23:46 |
| SliMM | Fryguy--: I want to disable that | 23:47 |
| thunder_storm | hello everybody | 23:47 |
| matelot | hi | 23:47 |
| Fryguy-- | SliMM: /etc/ssh/sshd_config | 23:47 |
| SliMM | Fryguy--: how can I disable that? | 23:47 |
| purplestar | joaopinto: nickrud has asked us to stop or go to #ubuntu-offtopic. meet you there :) | 23:47 |
| gavi | i seem to be having trouble applying a theme in emerald.. i imported my theme.. i see the theme inside emerald.. but theme is not applied.. why?? | 23:47 |
| gavi | i also tried emerald --replace | 23:48 |
| gavi | no go | 23:48 |
| SliMM | Fryguy--: what should I do there? | 23:48 |
| Fryguy-- | SliMM: read teh manpage and change the setting that corresponds to password based authentication. | 23:49 |
| Fryguy-- | SliMM: btw, I'd recommend not doing that | 23:49 |
| thunder_storm | i have a question, i have a graphics-card with two dvi-connectors. If it does not matter where I connect my monitor (port 1 or 2)? | 23:49 |
| SliMM | Fryguy--: why's that? | 23:49 |
| Fryguy-- | SliMM: just makes it much more difficult to log into the machine. at least wait until you have publickeys set up correctly | 23:49 |
| thunder_storm | the card is a NVIDIA GeForce 8800 GT | 23:49 |
| Fryguy-- | thunder_storm: it shouldn't matter | 23:50 |
| SliMM | Fryguy--: I do have physical access to the server | 23:50 |
| Fryguy-- | SliMM: then go ahead i guess | 23:50 |
| corevette | ubuntu poll: http://troy-sobotka.blogspot.com/2008/07/what-do-you-think-about-ubuntu-design.html | 23:50 |
| SliMM | Fryguy--: a question about man | 23:50 |
| obf213 | hmm "multimedia" tab is missing from my removable drives and media. so i can't stop rhythmbox from opening up my ipod...grr. any ideas as to what i should od | 23:50 |
| SliMM | Fryguy--: it says there sshd(8), what does that mean? | 23:50 |
| SliMM | i mean, what does the 8 stand for? | 23:51 |
| Fryguy-- | SliMM: the manpage is broken up into numbered sections | 23:51 |
| Fryguy-- | SliMM: i forget what all of the sections mean, it's mostly as a convention for the cases where there are 2 manpages with the same name | 23:51 |
| SliMM | Fryguy--: ok, thanks, how can I access section 8? | 23:52 |
| Fryguy-- | ? | 23:52 |
| SliMM | just man ssh(8)? | 23:52 |
| leemajors | hello all | 23:52 |
| SliMM | sshd(8) | 23:52 |
| Fryguy-- | SliMM: you are reading section 8... | 23:52 |
| nickrud | obf213, try preferred applications as a preference | 23:52 |
| SliMM | Fryguy--: well, I was reading sshd_config.. anyway | 23:53 |
| ShinjinAkage | How do I create an archive through the terminal? | 23:53 |
| Fryguy-- | SliMM: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/SSHHowto | 23:53 |
| Fryguy-- | SliMM: has what you need | 23:53 |
| Fryguy-- | ShinjinAkage: use tar | 23:53 |
| obf213 | nickrud, apparently in 8.04 they decided to leave out the option as to how u want to configure it i guess. i had to go to nautilus settingsk and I couldn't even but in a different command, say Floola for example | 23:53 |
| obf213 | great design.... | 23:53 |
| Fryguy-- | ShinjinAkage: check out the manpage for tar, it has sample usage scenarios, should be everything you need | 23:54 |
| Fryguy-- | obf213: file a bug in launchpad | 23:54 |
| x3 | Hi Fryguy how you doing ? Got ubuntu locked and loaded and all is well | 23:54 |
| x3 | thax | 23:54 |
| WebcamWonder | For installation of Flash Player 10, what is the "installation path of Mozilla, Netscape or Opera" for Firefox: /usr/lib/mozilla ? | 23:54 |
| Fryguy-- | x3: were you the one with 3 hard drives who kept getting grub installed to the wrong one because of a mix of sata and ide? | 23:55 |

| x3 | I kept getting errors yea | 23:55 |
| obf213 | nickrud, i dont have that tabs is what I am saying | 23:55 |
| Fryguy-- | x3: so did you end up unplugging sata drives, installing, and then plugging them back in? | 23:55 |
| x3 | apparently sata IDE drives is a no no during install | 23:55 |
| Fryguy-- | x3: you should file a bug in launchpad about it. It should be a resolvable issue | 23:56 |
| nickrud | obf213, you mentioned removeable drives & media, and yes it's not there, it's under preferred applications. And you are sure there's no multimedia tab there? | 23:56 |
| x3 | yea I did unplug drives in the end but funny I tried it before as well but didnt work (suspect a bad burn) | 23:56 |
| supersako | anyone here use a wacom tablet with ubuntu? | 23:56 |
| Fryguy-- | x3: the fact that you found a workaround is nice, but ubuntu should be able to handle that without you modifying your hardware config | 23:56 |
| x3 | indeed | 23:56 |
| x3 | Im battling filezzila update package synaptic pac installs a older version | 23:57 |
| supersako | im having trouble with my wacom bamboo in ubuntu | 23:57 |
