| leemajors | when you use the add/remove app to install something, how do you find out what the actual app name is and where it was installed to? (ie installing 7zip installs as 7z in /usr/bin/7z) | 00:00 |
| whalebone | hiyas guys, got a question :) been working all day trying to get dual monitor support to work and have gotten nowhere, and am now here, reset all drivers to the ATI supported driver, two Dell E177FPf LCD displays, ATI X300SE card. Both monitors showing the same desktop and activity. How do i get this thing to work? It was so easy under XP...*sigh* | 00:01 |
| SliMM | Fryguy--: how can I add multiple commands there, and, could I also add sudo/su? | 00:01 |
| Fryguy-- | leemajors: you can use dpkg -L from command line | 00:01 |
| whalebone | working on Hardy | 00:01 |
| Fryguy-- | SliMM: su/sudo is controlled by the group the user is in, and I don't know if/how to add multiple commands | 00:01 |
| whalebone | tried to edit xorg.conf a dozen different ways to no avail... | 00:01 |
| leemajors | Fryguy--: but don't you need to know what it's called first to use that? | 00:01 |
| Fryguy-- | leemajors: you need to know the name of the package, yes. | 00:02 |
| Fryguy-- | leemajors: you need to know the name of SOMETIHNG to install a package... | 00:02 |
| MrLinux | Fryguy-- : Where is webmin located ? | 00:02 |
| Fryguy-- | MrLinux: no idea, why ask me? | 00:03 |
| Bora | Hello: how to change a name of a harddrive inside places-computer? | 00:03 |
| leemajors | Fryguy--: that's my problem -- using the add/remove app, while it gives you the full name of something (7Zip) it doesn't always tell you the *actual* name | 00:03 |
| MrLinux | How do I find ? | 00:03 |
| MrLinux | How do I find a file for example | 00:03 |
| Fryguy-- | MrLinux: the locate command is helpful | 00:03 |
| leemajors | Fryguy--: so it took me ages last night to find out 7Zip is actually called 7z | 00:03 |
| Fryguy-- | MrLinux: or tracker | 00:03 |
| MrLinux | Not working | 00:03 |
| rizkhan | My wireless disconnects after some arbitrary intervals .. it does become ok .. n then really bad again | 00:03 |
| xqiu | leemajors: you can try "properties" of an app | 00:04 |
| Fryguy-- | rizkhan: interference | 00:04 |
| Fryguy-- | ? | 00:04 |
| rizkhan | i changed the channels .. n everything . | 00:04 |
| whalebone | sounds like interference of some sort | 00:04 |
| leemajors | xqiu: how do you know where it installs it to though? | 00:04 |
| x3 | any good front end for mencoder? | 00:04 |
| SliMM | Fryguy--: ok, thanks :-) | 00:05 |
| Fryguy-- | leemajors: after you obtain the name of the package from the interface, use dpkg -L to show a list of all files the package installs | 00:05 |
| Bora | how to change hard drive name inside my "places -> computer" i get error "operation not supported by backend" | 00:05 |
| rizkhan | so wat do u recommend ? shall i change the channel for wireless router | 00:05 |
| joaopinto | x3, avidemux is a nice gui for conversion, not sure it uses mencoder | 00:05 |
| whalebone | is the AP near a flourescent light fixture? | 00:05 |
| whalebone | once had that happen and it screwed with the signal somehow | 00:05 |
| Fryguy-- | or a microwave, or phones, or other routers, whatever | 00:05 |
| xqiu | leemajors: System ==> Administration ==> Synaptic Package Manager | 00:06 |
| whalebone | channel changing can work a lot of times, especially in a heavily congested area (cngested with signals) | 00:06 |
| xqiu | leemajors: search a package | 00:06 |
| x3 | yea thx Ill have a look but what Im looking for is a powerfull front end for mencoder.... | 00:06 |
| rizkhan | FryGuy: the problem doesnt happen wid the ubuntu on my laptop .. | 00:06 |
| rizkhan | only the desktop | 00:06 |
| xqiu | leemajors: then click the "Properties" button | 00:06 |
| gavi | dpes compiz-fusion-manager include emerald? | 00:06 |

| === jennifer is now known as lamont2 | ||
| leemajors | xqiu: ah, ok, so use synaptic instead of add/remove? | 00:07 |
| Fryguy-- | rizkhan: so the wireless card you are using probably isn't that good | 00:07 |
| amon-kill | hola | 00:07 |
| xqiu | leemajors: I like synaptic interface better | 00:07 |
| x3 | lol I been doing that as well but theres so many I decided to ask people that actually use them.... ;) | 00:07 |
| rizkhan | it was the latest one that i cud get | 00:07 |
| leemajors | xqiu: because the add/remove one doesn't always tell you the name of the app, which was my problem | 00:07 |
| rizkhan | may be its a driver issue | 00:08 |
| whalebone | Question: been working all day trying to get dual monitor support to work and have gotten nowhere, I reset the driver to the ATI supported driver, two Dell E177FPf LCD displays, ATI X300SE card, running on Hardy, both monitors showing the same desktop and activity. How do i get this thing to work? It was so easy under XP...*sigh* | 00:08 |

| leemajors | xqiu: well i'm a new user :) so i use add/remove, but once i installed the program using it, i now don't know how to run it, or find it, or anything... | 00:09 |
| whalebone | where was all these links earlier :) | 00:09 |
| Fryguy-- | whalebone: these are all on the front page of google | 00:09 |
| onthefence928 | i need to convert a .avi file to .wmv so i can play it on my 360, what's a good linux program that does this? | 00:09 |
| whalebone | lol | 00:09 |
| Fryguy-- | whalebone: a little effort is helpful sometimes | 00:09 |
| whalebone | wow, think of that, a little effort. i already googled my problem idiot | 00:09 |
| whalebone | i wouldnt be here otherwise | 00:10 |
| Fryguy-- | whalebone: well, these are all from the first page of google results, so hopefully you've already seen them all i guess | 00:10 |
| whalebone | you were a jerk earlier and now your beign a jerk again | 00:10 |
| leemajors | onthefence928: the 360 can play avis, even encoded with divx or xvid | 00:10 |
| whalebone | how about you ignore me and i'll do the same for you? | 00:10 |
| whalebone | thanks | 00:10 |
| rizkhan | whalebone, wats wrong wid u man ! | 00:10 |
| RAdams | !clone | 00:11 |
| whalebone | he's been a turd all day on this place | 00:11 |
| 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 | 00:11 |
| Fryguy-- | whalebone: so you wouldn't like me to link you to any more helpful links on getting multiple monitors configured with an ATI video card? | 00:11 |
| whalebone | nope, not from you | 00:11 |
| Fryguy-- | ok | 00:11 |
| x3 | looks like acidrip is the deal | 00:11 |
| nickrud | !attitude | Fryguy-- whalebone (no bone to pick with either, just no one needs to read this stuff) | 00:11 |
| ubottu | Fryguy-- whalebone (no bone to pick with either, just no one needs to read this stuff): The people here are volunteers, your attitude should reflect that. Answers are not always available. See http://wiki.ubuntu.com/IrcGuidelines | 00:11 |
| whalebone | I know this. | 00:12 |
| rizkhan | no u dont .. ! | 00:12 |
| whalebone | He's just got a smartarsed way of answering questions | 00:12 |
| leemajors | so my question still kind of stands, even though i know a work around. when i use the add/remove applications and install a program, how do i find out what it was installed as, what its name actually is and where it installed? | 00:12 |
| whalebone | and he was doing it earlier today | 00:12 |
| rizkhan | leemajors, synapics manager | 00:12 |
| rizkhan | *syanptic manager | 00:13 |
| nickrud | leemajors, the easiest way is dpkg -L <pkgname> | 00:13 |
| whalebone | telling folks to put forth some effort after they have come to irc is ignorant | 00:13 |
| whalebone | i already googled, called a friend, and sacrificed a chicken on the keyboard. | 00:13 |
| MrLinux | How do I find a file in the sistem ? | 00:13 |
| ariel_ | do a search | 00:13 |
| leemajors | rizkhan: yeah, that's the way i will do it from now on, but for new users, they use add/remove, and it's not clear where apps go when you use that to install... | 00:14 |
| MrLinux | root@server2:~# locate webmin | 00:14 |
| MrLinux | root@server2:~# | 00:14 |
| karenw | What is a good app for an ipod? | 00:14 |
| MrLinux | is not showing me nothing | 00:14 |
| ariel_ | or in places it has an search option | 00:14 |
| unop | karenw, gtkpod | 00:14 |
| unop | !webmin | 00:14 |
| ubottu | webmin is no longer supported in Debian and Ubuntu. It is not compatible with the way that Ubuntu packages handle configuration files, and is likely to cause unexpected issues with your system. See !ebox instead. | 00:14 |
| unop | MrLinux, ^^^ | 00:14 |

| sebastian | how do i install kde without all the programs? i want the minimal package | 00:15 |
| IdleOne | !kde | 00:16 |
| ubottu | KDE (http://kde.org) is the !desktop environment used natively in !Kubuntu. To install from Ubuntu: « sudo apt-get install kubuntu-desktop », or see http://help.ubuntu.com/community/InstallingKDE . See http://kubuntu.org for more information. For more information on KDE 4, see !kde4 | 00:16 |
| anirudh0 | sebastian, kdebase | 00:16 |
| anirudh0 | sebastian, dont install just konqueror or amarok, install kdebase...else there will be subtle problems(i/o plugins missing etc) | 00:16 |

| definitely | Anyone can HELP ME ? I cant say .conkyrc FILE as WESTERN ISO :((( | 00:18 |
| anirudh0 | sebastian, i would suggest kdebase, since it is the minimal set that fully works | 00:18 |

| sebastian | ok thx | 00:19 |
| anirudh0 | definitely, strange..whats your default language and character set? | 00:20 |

| ariel_ | Veinor, I have a few HP's laptops and your correct. There is no way to get it working right now. We are going to have to wait for an update. | 00:20 |
| anirudh0 | unlink, why do you want to do this though? | 00:20 |
| leemajors | without using synaptic(which i now know is the better app) how do you find the name of an installed program once you've installed it using add/remove applications? you can only use dpkg when you know the actual name... | 00:20 |
| unlink | anirudh0: i want to publish a private apt repository which is reachable from the internet | 00:21 |
| anirudh0 | unlink, just dont publish the address in the web...give it as needed to people you want to..this is very primitive, but should work | 00:21 |
| unlink | leemajors: dpkg --list is one way | 00:21 |
| definitely | anirudh0: : How to check ? :S | 00:21 |
| unlink | anirudh0: it will work fine. but i don't want to publish it to anyone but a few people | 00:21 |
| Fryguy-- | leemajors: unfortunately I don't know the name of the command line switch, but dpkg also supports a mechanism for listing packages, it might be dpkg --get-selections or something. See if the manpage has some details on it | 00:21 |
| leemajors | unlink: ah! that is a handy thing to know | 00:21 |
| kosnick | when in recovery mode i am root , right? i try to use apt-get to reinstall sth but i can not get the lock to /var/lib/dpkg | 00:21 |

| jon__ | hello | 00:22 |

| rizkhan | kosnick, some other tool might have it .. | 00:22 |
| jon__ | is snes9x two players? | 00:22 |
| leemajors | but still, for new users who have used the add/remove, it's pretty hard to figure out where their new program has gone... | 00:22 |

| anirudh0 | kosnick, reboot into normal mode solved it for me then | 00:45 |
| CorpseFeeder | anirudh0, There is no error. It just won't connect to the server and hangs. I can make only make it run if I install it as root and run it as root. But then there is no fonts. | 00:45 |

| plt258 | how do i add a destination in the "send to" when i rite click a file | 00:51 |
| instantsoup | i have a little problem with ubuntu 8.04. For some reason my gnome panels are blank and i cant open the alt+f3 thing to open apps (i can still open apps in the filebrowser though and ctrl+alt+f1 works too). This just happens randomly, i think this time it happened after i closed the image viewer. | 00:53 |
| kurozu | why does the terminal ask for password? i cant writ enything when its come | 00:54 |
| nickrud | kurozu, it just doesn't show the characters you type. It still reads them | 00:54 |
| eZe | hi, i just tried teamspeak and i get a constant beeping in the background, even when the microphone is on off, could this be a software problem? | 00:54 |

| CorpseFeeder | Google Earth 4.3 obviously has issues with my system... | 00:55 |

| ubottu | instantsoup: To reset the panel to defaults, type this in a !terminal: « gconftool --recursive-unset /apps/panel && killall gnome-panel » | 00:56 |
| plt258 | CorpseFeeder : most likely your cpu, google earth 4.3 needs SSEE, have you got an older system? | 00:57 |
| instantsoup | hmm ok thanks :) how do i open xterm without the alt+f3? | 00:57 |
| poningru | instantsoup: alt+f2? | 00:58 |
| poningru | ;) | 00:58 |
| CorpseFeeder | plt258, I don't know what SSEE is. GE 4.3 runs fine (apart from fonts) if run as root... so I don't see how the CPU type can be the problem. | 00:59 |
| instantsoup | uh dunno if alt+f3 or alt+f2, both are not working though :p | 00:59 |
| plt258 | didnt realize it ran at all, | 01:00 |
| poningru | instantsoup: you can always just go through the menu | 01:00 |
| CWii | CorpseFeeder, It's a processor execution process | 01:00 |
| CorpseFeeder | plt258, that's ok.. probably missed the earlier conversation ;) | 01:00 |

| ektoplasm | Hey, I have an issue with mounting and writing. I have added a second SATA drive to my machine, and formatted it with one partition set as ext3. I have successfully made it mount at bootup, but the problem I'm having is that I can't get every user to write to it, only root. This is a problem, because I'm sharing it through Samba, and others need to write to it. Any ideas? | 01:37 |

| FAJALOU | how can i find which driver my usb wifi card is? | 01:46 |

| mkz | I'm trying to create a dvd for my stand-alone player from an AVI file. I've used ffmpeg to transcode it to mpg, then used dvdauthore to create the dvd structure and toc. I then used mkisofs to create and iso of the dvd structure. Finally I'm burning the ISO to a dvd with growisofs. When I play the dvd in the player, the player identies it as a data disc. Anyone else run into this? | 01:47 |
| FAJALOU | saint-takeshi: all it says is atheros communications | 01:47 |
| FAJALOU | but i have had to use ndiswrapper to get it to work... | 01:47 |
| Leefmc | saint-takeshi: Well, it seems all the other ones before that (the apt mirror download is at like 40-50%), so if ones before that succeed, i dont get why that one thing fails everytime | 01:47 |
| Bodsda | Leefmc, i had that prob when uinstalling debian, try going back, it should give you a list of things, just choose the one after tat stage | 01:47 |

| saint-takeshi | but i think it's "restricted" | 01:48 |

| wuxia | i have two directories on two different directories; one of them contains 152 GB of data; i want the other to be a mirror of it; cp -R is not the ideal solution, as the data in the original partition will be updated, what is a tool i can use to mirror this? | 01:49 |
| saint-takeshi | try the "restricted drivers" | 01:49 |
| FAJALOU | there is no mention of it in restricted drivers | 01:49 |
| saint-takeshi | i think it's just called "hardware drivers" under system -> administration now (did the word "restricted" frighten new users?) | 01:50 |
| ubunubi | is there a way to make ubuntu not cache negative DNS entries? | 01:50 |
| FAJALOU | if i go into "Hardware Drivers" in System>administration, there is no mention of it, only my nvidia card. | 01:50 |
| === Insomniac20k is now known as Mattador | ||
| unop | ubunubi, define "negative DNS entries" | 01:50 |
| corq-FL | I ended up having to use the ndiswrapper method | 01:51 |
| ubunubi | unop:: when a DNS entry is invalid or unreachable or gets anything besides an "everything is great" response | 01:51 |
| At0x0 | I copied some files over from my old Ubuntu box to my new one. On both boxes, my user is "mike". Even after doing "chown -R mike *" and chmoding them I can't access the files/folders. | 01:51 |
| FAJALOU | saint-takeshi: is the driver for it in synaptic? | 01:52 |
| saint-takeshi | FAJALOU: i'm not sure then...i know there's something specific about atheros wifi cards....try aptitude search atheros in a terminal | 01:52 |
| ubunubi | unop:: there was a registry hack in xp that lets you disable the caching of them and it keeps your webbrowser from having to wait for a DNS cache update ,after not being able to reach a site, it can try again right away | 01:52 |
| kurozu | what am i going to do to see my main hd ? =& | 01:52 |

| At0x0 | Can anyone explain what I'm doing wrong here? http://paste.ubuntu.com/25110/ | 01:53 |
| FAJALOU | saint-takeshi: i did that, and what i got is that the restricted drivers for 2.6.24-19-generic are already installd | 01:53 |
| FAJALOU | should i try the 386 version also because only generic are installed right now. | 01:54 |

| Megaxel | I have a bootloader that lets me go from Vista to XP to NeoGrub | 02:02 |
| Megaxel | and don't particularly feel like messing everything up | 02:03 |
| Megaxel | If I can get NeoGrub working, that would be ideal | 02:03 |

| etronik | Hi all - I'm using torrentlfux web based BT (which uses bittornado I think) - but the downloads I tried brought my Ubuntu PC to its knees - two processes were taking 95% of the CPU : dd and klogd - any ideas ? | 02:03 |
| Fryguy-- | Megaxel: why aren't you just doing things the standard ubuntu way | 02:03 |
| Megaxel | unop: I only realized this AFTER I configured EasyBCD. As stated, the cliff notes of my problem would be that I am a n00b | 02:03 |
| unop | Megaxel, neogrub is unsupported here - you might have to find a neogrub channel or refer to it's documentation - if you insist on using it but we advise you against it | 02:04 |
| Fryguy-- | etronik: klogd going nuts suggests a much more serious issue. Is there anything noteworthy in /var/log | 02:04 |
| _rafa_ | can anyone help me with a couple of drivers? | 02:04 |
| etronik | Fryguy--: I'll have toi look | 02:05 |
| Megaxel | Well I don't think NeoGrub itself is the issue, more the syntax | 02:05 |
| Leefmc | Bodsda: I said isn't it needed, not indeed :p. "It" being the thing that failed downloading, apt mirror something. But its rather Moot, my LiveCD wasn't working so thats why i was using the mini iso, but i reburnt the livecd and now all is great! :D | 02:05 |
| Megaxel | I just need to know the generic locations of kernel and initrd | 02:05 |
| Fryguy-- | Megaxel: both are in /boot | 02:05 |
| Megaxel | (I hope, at any rate) | 02:05 |

| [gnubie] | Fryguy--: ok.. ;) | 02:12 |
| Leefmc | unop: Roger | 02:13 |
| Fryguy-- | [gnubie]: something is missing for the driver then, or you are using the wrong driver for your card. If it doesnt' show up in ifconfig or iwconfig then the driver isn't loaded. Unfortunately i don't have any more advice to give you in pursuit of the problem | 02:13 |

| WhyACow | thanks! | 02:32 |
| Fryguy-- | WhyACow: you'll probably have to fix grub after doing that as well | 02:33 |

| Fryguy-- | max____: try changing the driver from fglrx to ati in /etc/X11/xorg.conf i don't know what is causing your problem | 02:50 |
| crimsun | hyperstream: no, you can set a default device | 02:50 |

| max____ | nope ... :( | 02:52 |
| Leefmc | Fryguy--: Ah hah! working now, not sure why it wasn't before | 02:52 |
| max____ | and the store doesnt allow refunds... | 02:53 |
| Leefmc | Fryguy--: Perhaps my old machines pass was stuck on my client's connection id | 02:53 |
| renoboy | do i have to use cd everytime i want to use ubuntu? | 02:53 |
| Fryguy-- | max____: refunds for what | 02:53 |
| Fryguy-- | renoboy: no | 02:53 |
| max____ | I get to the low-graphics mode | 02:53 |

| max____ | Refund for the graphics card, I wanna go to another store and get an NVIDIA card. | 02:53 |
| renoboy | ok and i dont have to program the way it works or anything right. | 02:53 |
| unsungx | anyone here knowledgeable on Ubuntu problems on an Acer Aspire 5100? | 02:53 |
| hyperstream | crimsun: hmm where can i set the default device | 02:53 |
| bazhang | renoboy, you can change themes and such, but most things should work-->wireless may take a bit of tweaking; you should try the livecd first | 02:54 |
| crimsun | hyperstream: right-click the device in the Output devices tab | 02:54 |
| hyperstream | and set to default | 02:54 |
| bazhang | renoboy, then come back here when you have the cd burned and are in the live cd session | 02:54 |
| hyperstream | yes i understand that | 02:54 |
| Fryguy-- | annie_g: open up a terminal, navigate to the directory of flac files you want to convert, and type flac2mp3 /path/whereyou/want/the/mp3s/to/go "lame options" for example: flac2mp3 /tmp "-V 3" | 02:54 |
| renoboy | what is that livecd? and how do i go about changing themes? | 02:54 |
| annie_g | unsungx: Can you be more specific on problems you're asking about? | 02:54 |
| bazhang | renoboy, the installer cd (regular) has a try before you install option that is the live cd | 02:55 |
| hyperstream | crimsun: it doesnt actually work. the only way i can make it play thru my onboard is if i change it on the fly. is it not possible to start a application like Audacious and have it use the pulseaudio and use the DEFAULT in the options | 02:55 |
| annie_g | Fryguy--: I think I can handle that - than'n ya ... :o) | 02:55 |
| hyperstream | even tho my input and output are defaulted to my onboard | 02:55 |
| renoboy | ok so if i try it first then i can see if it works before i install? | 02:55 |
| bazhang | renoboy, the rest of your questions we can answer when you have that livecd going :) | 02:55 |
| unsungx | Alright ya, I have an Acer Aspire 5100, and originally I couldn't get my ati drivers installed, but fixed it, now I can't get my wireless card to work | 02:55 |
| hyperstream | it doesnt use it | 02:55 |
| annie_g | thank'n ya | 02:55 |
| Fryguy-- | annie_g: the code is somewhat straightforward, so feel free to have a look and modify it to your needs | 02:55 |
| unsungx | like ubuntu hates me i think | 02:55 |
| renoboy | ok | 02:55 |
| hyperstream | it still uses my sblive | 02:55 |

| bazhang | !themes > renoboy | 02:57 |
| ubottu | renoboy, please see my private message | 02:57 |
| annie_g | unsungx: Wireless can be a pain sometimes - you could try a NDIS wrapper - That's using a windows driver to work in linux. | 02:57 |
| crimsun | hyperstream: that's why I mentioned the gconf bit above | 02:57 |
| hyperstream | crimsun: i see | 02:57 |
| unsungx | yeah I read that online, seems to be my only solution ATM | 02:57 |

| bea1 | when I log in | 03:01 |
| craigbass1976 | Fryguy--, thanks though | 03:01 |
| Fryguy-- | bea1: there is a session manager in gnome that you can use | 03:01 |
| bea1 | I just started using ubuntu from windows vista so I'm extremely raw | 03:01 |

| bea1 | lol | 03:02 |
| Fryguy-- | bea1: go to sessions instead | 03:02 |
| bea1 | where is sessions? | 03:03 |
| Fryguy-- | bea1: i dunno, i don't use ubuntu so i don't know the menu structure, should be right near the other menu | 03:03 |

| Leefmc | ty | 03:11 |
| Leefmc | will do | 03:11 |
| Fryguy-- | Leefmc: if you have xauth installed and set up correctly, ssh -X and if you try to run a gui app it'll just run on your local display | 03:11 |

| widenose | Fryguy--: OK i checked the modem is ON | 03:24 |
| Seven_Six_Two | akuma55, what is the server for? who is it for? where is it to be accessed from? | 03:25 |
| theshelter | thank you kind sir | 03:25 |
| Leefmc | Question: To shut down a computer gently (ie, not pulling plug) via ssh, "shutdown" is correct right? Is -h needed? The --help is a bit odd with this: "-h halt or power off after shutdown" isn't shutting down synonymous with power off? | 03:25 |
| akuma55 | i already installed instlled ubuntu server and trying to make it a file server do any of you know how in can do that | 03:25 |
| unop | theshelter, actually. killall gnome-panel && gnome-panel & | 03:25 |
| Fryguy-- | widenose: disconnect your internet connection from that computer and reboot, see what happens | 03:25 |
| akuma55 | s<Seven_Six_Two> me | 03:25 |
| FelixTheCat | Leefmc: 'shutdown -h now' | 03:25 |
| bloodrock | akuma55, http://www.ubuntugeek.com/nfs-server-and-client-configuration-in-ubuntu.html | 03:25 |
| tomd123 | Leefmc: "sudo shutdown -h now" should work | 03:25 |
| Seven_Six_Two | Leefmc, not when you want to reboot | 03:25 |
| unop | Leefmc, -h requires a time argument | 03:25 |
| BioTeck | hello.. anyone using ubuntu on ibook? | 03:26 |
| Fryguy-- | Leefmc: yes you need h | 03:26 |
| Leefmc | Seven_Six_Two: Yea but.. -r reboots.. so what does "shutdown now" give you..? | 03:26 |
| soul_786 | by setting up an ftp server, is that set up on say the computer i have the files on? and then it can be accessed with passwords over the internet using the ftp address? | 03:26 |
| FelixTheCat | Leefmc: probably an error message. You need 'shutdown -h now' | 03:26 |
| Leefmc | haha, k | 03:26 |
| Fryguy-- | Leefmc: it varies from *nix to *nix, some reboot, some do non-acpi halt, some turn off, it varies, use -h | 03:26 |
| Seven_Six_Two | akuma55, you're the only akuma55 here, and you asked about setting up a file server | 03:26 |
| tomd123 | Leefmc: shutdown now doesn't work since -h accepts a time parameter... | 03:26 |
| Fryguy-- | akuma55: install an ftp server, proftpd is recommended | 03:26 |
| Killer--Tux | hello you all | 03:27 |
| Leefmc | tomd123: Well if you use just "shutdown" it tells you to give it a time | 03:27 |
| theshelter | Now that that is fixed....anyone know why my bottom panel might (seemingly) set itself underneath my top panel and not be able to be moved back to the bottom? | 03:27 |
| akuma55 | Fryguy--> ho do i do that | 03:27 |
| tomd123 | Leefmc: just do what everyone told you to | 03:27 |
| Fryguy-- | akuma55: apt-get install proftpd | 03:27 |
| Killer--Tux | hey guys do i have to have a hdd for linux to boot from a live cd | 03:27 |
| Fryguy-- | akuma55: and then hit up google for some results on how to configure it for your needs | 03:27 |
| Seven_Six_Two | Fryguy--, maybe, but akuma55 didn't say it's to be used from the internet | 03:27 |
| Leefmc | tomd123: I'm just learning man, relax :). In reality though, no one was quite sure what would happen without -h heh | 03:28 |
| Killer--Tux | what going on fryguy | 03:28 |
| Fryguy-- | Seven_Six_Two: so? ftp is a valid option for lan installs as well | 03:28 |
| Fryguy-- | Killer--Tux: bored | 03:28 |
| tomd123 | Leefmc: try it and get back to me :) | 03:28 |
| Killer--Tux | can you help me out with this question | 03:28 |
| Killer--Tux | lol | 03:28 |
| Killer--Tux | me 2 | 03:28 |
| Fryguy-- | Killer--Tux: not until you ask it | 03:28 |
| Seven_Six_Two | Fryguy--, yes, but not necessarily the best, depending on what it's for | 03:28 |
| Leefmc | tomd123: I will, with my other machine. Not my $4,000 Mac Pro :p | 03:28 |
| yoyoned | Killer--Tux: no, you can install it on the same drive, but it needs to be in a seperate partition | 03:28 |
| widenose | ok!! i started eth0 it took like 2 days to start but | 03:28 |
| Killer--Tux | do u need a hdd in order to run a liver cd ?!? | 03:28 |
| widenose | suddenly it start | 03:28 |
| swirv | I have a problem with k3b - I get 'cdrecord has no permission to open device' | 03:29 |
| yoyoned | Killer--Tux: no | 03:29 |
| Fryguy-- | widenose: ubuntu probably got your network configuration wrong. are you on dsl? | 03:29 |
| widenose | no | 03:29 |
| IdleOne | Killer--Tux, no | 03:29 |
| widenose | cable | 03:29 |
| Killer--Tux | so u can run the cd without the hdd | 03:29 |
| Killer--Tux | ?!? | 03:29 |
| IdleOne | Killer--Tux, it runs in ram only | 03:29 |
| Seven_Six_Two | Killer--Tux, yes. it uses the cd and memory | 03:29 |
| Fryguy-- | widenose: is the computer connected directly to the modem, or to a router? | 03:29 |
| IdleOne | Killer--Tux, the more ram the better the performance | 03:29 |
| ringer | when using my laptop with ubuntu the mousepad clicks on random things, how can i fix this? | 03:29 |
| Killer--Tux | becuse i can't get it to run | 03:29 |
| IdleOne | ringer, you have a touchpad? | 03:30 |
| B|ackPanther | Please,whenever i close my music player,and try to start it again it does not play,any help would be appreciated. | 03:30 |
| FAJALOU | Killer--Tux: all you need is ram, because the cd loads directly onto the ram, but to install you need a hdd. | 03:30 |
| Killer--Tux | yes that was what i was thinking but it gives me a error | 03:30 |
| tomd123 | Leefmc: shutdown -P now powers your computer off also, -h just halts it or powered off depending on the system, you most likely want powered off soo.... | 03:30 |
| Seven_Six_Two | Killer--Tux, oh yes. the error... | 03:30 |
| Rhorse | ringer, I've had that problem ever since I started with Ubuntu. Never solved it. It's rare enuf I can live with it and I do | 03:30 |
| widenose | Fryguy--: it's connected to modem directly. I checked again to be sure about it | 03:30 |
| ringer | IdleOne, yes | 03:30 |
| IdleOne | !touchpad | ringer | 03:31 |
| ubottu | ringer: For a comprehensive Synaptics Touchpad guide, see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/SynapticsTouchpad | 03:31 |
| Rhorse | ringer, Had it on two different machines and diff mouses. | 03:31 |
| gsevil | I messed up with dpkg-reconfigure xserver, and now after grub it said "invalid screen mode, press enter to search for more, space to continue" after 30 seconds it boot normally. how do i fix it | 03:31 |
| Seven_Six_Two | widenose, pppoe or dhcp? | 03:31 |
| Leefmc | tomd123: Thats what i dont quite understand though, there is a state where a machine can be "on" but "shutdown"? What the heck is running that it is considered "on"? | 03:31 |
| ringer | Rhorse, damn lol. ive had ubuntu for some time now, but alswys used my usb mouse | 03:31 |
| Fryguy-- | widenose: now that the systsem is booted, can you paste the results of ifconfig -a to www.pastebin.com plz | 03:31 |
| Killer--Tux | it a laptop and the hdd makes a wired noise like if it was dropped | 03:31 |
| Seven_Six_Two | Leefmc, the network card? | 03:31 |
| Killer--Tux | so am trying to run a live cd but that dosent work :( | 03:31 |
| nickrud | Rhorse, ringer for me, I set up gsynaptics and reduced the sensitivity of the pad, stopped having those phantom clicks | 03:31 |
| ringer | IdleOne, thanks ill take a look | 03:31 |
| BioTeck | that is the starwars sound.. lol | 03:31 |
| Fryguy-- | gsevil: go to /etc/X11 and restore one of the older xorg.conf files that is there (ubuntu makes a backup whenever you use dpkg-reconfigure | 03:31 |
| bloodrock | Killer--Tux, what error do you get | 03:32 |
| widenose | Fryguys--- OK I copy my terminal stuff to http://www.pasteplace.net/premiumusr/ballsac/ubuntulog.html | 03:32 |
| Rhorse | nickrud, hmm, I'll have to look into it | 03:32 |
| IdleOne | nickrud, I just turn touchpad off using gsynaptics also | 03:32 |
| nalioth | Fryguy--: please avoid that paste site | 03:33 |
| Fryguy-- | nalioth: yah i already clicked on it | 03:33 |
| tomd123 | Leefmc: dunno, just do -P then, I also never understood why there is a halt, maybe historical purposes?? :/ | 03:33 |
| renoboy | i downloaded i386 and i extracted it to my desktop now how do i write it to a cd as an iso image? | 03:33 |
| gsevil | Fryguy-- i dont think it's xorg.conf problem, it is the console before loading xorg. | 03:33 |
| * IdleOne always reads the link before clicking it. | 03:33 | |
| yoyoned | tomd123: I use halt -p a lot | 03:33 |
| tomd123 | renoboy: don't extract the iso | 03:33 |
| frosty | i just dropped in here to show my support for the new ibex human theme... | 03:33 |
| frosty | it's sweet. | 03:33 |
| binskipy2u | hey guys.. anyone have a "tweaking guide" for 64bit ubuntu 8.04 | 03:34 |
| nickrud | IdleOne, did that for a while, then tried with the tapping off. That works well too. But eventually I just worked out a decent sensitivity | 03:34 |
| renoboy | i extracted the file that i downloaded from ubuntu.com | 03:34 |
| frosty | i'm liking the light on dark.... | 03:34 |
| Leefmc | tomd123: No idea. Im not insanely technical, had an a+ at one time (ages ago, i've forgotten most of it), but i never remember talk of this semi-computer-afterlife thing heh | 03:34 |
| Killer--Tux | bloodrock | 03:34 |
| frosty | it's easier on my eyes. | 03:34 |
| Killer--Tux | give me a sec | 03:34 |
| tomd123 | renoboy: find a program that burns isos and use it.. | 03:34 |
| Seven_Six_Two | binskipy2u, what do you want to tweak? | 03:34 |
| IdleOne | nickrud, I very very rarely ever use the touchpad so having it off works well for me | 03:34 |
| binskipy2u | just for an awesome setup | 03:34 |
| renoboy | would clone DVD work? | 03:34 |
| akuma55 | <Fryguy--> thanx | 03:34 |
| binskipy2u | stuff like that | 03:34 |
| tomd123 | renoboy: if your on windows, google burnimg | 03:34 |
| IdleOne | !iso | 03:35 |
| ubottu | To mount an ISO disc image, type « sudo mount -o loop <ISO-filename> <mountpoint> » - There is a list of useful cd image conversion tools at http://wiki.linuxquestions.org/wiki/CD_Image_Conversion - Always verify the ISO using !MD5 before !burning. | 03:35 |
| soul_786 | renoboy: don't extract... take the iso image into a program like powerISO free download and it makes a bootable version straight from the iso image | 03:35 |
| tomd123 | renoboy: use this if your on windows, it's free and simple http://www.imgburn.com/ | 03:35 |
| Seven_Six_Two | binskipy2u, that's subjective. you don't need additional software to make config changes, you just have to know what you want to change | 03:35 |
| IdleOne | !burning > renoboy | 03:35 |
| ubottu | renoboy, please see my private message | 03:35 |
| binskipy2u | adding all multimedia stuff | 03:35 |
| binskipy2u | codecs and such | 03:35 |
| Seven_Six_Two | binskipy2u, they should be in synaptic. which codecs? | 03:36 |
| Lamentit | leemajors: Thank you! That worked completely! Thank you too, tomd123, for your help. | 03:36 |
| renoboy | ok if i use this powerISO can i use imgburn? | 03:36 |
| Hayley | Omg, ok | 03:36 |
| binskipy2u | you know adding multimedia support | 03:36 |
| soul_786 | use either or.. powerISO is just another piece of software | 03:36 |
| binskipy2u | for websites, java, mp3, audio etc etc | 03:37 |
| Fryguy-- | binskipy2u: multimedia support is added via various codecs, which ones do you need | 03:37 |
| Seven_Six_Two | binskipy2u, there is already multimedia support. what do you want to do specifically?? | 03:37 |
| FelixTheCat | Ugh! This bugs me. There is an apt command to install a server role after Ubuntu/Ubuntu server has been installed. | 03:37 |
| renoboy | ok so imgburn will burn it to the cd in a bootable version right | 03:37 |
| Fryguy-- | renoboy: yes | 03:37 |
| soul_786 | renoboy: yes | 03:37 |
| binskipy2u | thought you had to add repos or something | 03:37 |
| Hayley | My dual boot system is part SATA, IDE, and my Linux is on IDE but Grub keeps giving me error 17. The boot loader is on my IDE as well. Help? | 03:37 |
| bazhang | renoboy, sure | 03:37 |
| Fryguy-- | binskipy2u: depending on what you need, you might | 03:37 |
| adude | i installed virtual-box and now i don't have any sound | 03:37 |
| renoboy | ok thank u so is it ok that i extracted the download onto my desktop? | 03:38 |
| binskipy2u | you use medibuntu | 03:38 |
| binskipy2u | ? | 03:38 |
| Seven_Six_Two | binskipy2u, maybe, but not for the common stuff | 03:38 |
| binskipy2u | is there others | 03:38 |
| binskipy2u | or is that all you need for a complete system | 03:38 |
| bazhang | renoboy, dont extract, just burn iso as image file (not data) | 03:38 |
| Fryguy-- | Hayley: if possible, remove all hard drives of the other interface when installing ubuntu. Grub can sometimes get confused when installing and accidentally put itself on the wrong drive | 03:38 |
| Seven_Six_Two | binskipy2u, again, "complete" is subjective, and depends on your needs | 03:38 |
| widenose | my ubuntu work!?!!!1111 | 03:38 |
| soul_786 | u need to use hte iso renoboy... the files you extracted can be deleted... just keep hte '.iso' file | 03:38 |
| widenose | <3 Fryguy-- | 03:38 |
| binskipy2u | thanks | 03:38 |
| Hayley | So would you suggest I reinstall, Fryguy--? | 03:39 |
| bullgard4 | My dmesg start with " Initializing cgroup subsys cpuset". What is meant by 'cgroup'? | 03:39 |
| widenose | my ubuntu work becuz of fryguy. pls. every1 thank Fryguy-- for beeing halpful | 03:39 |
| widenose | my ubuntu work becuz of fryguy. pls. every1 thank Fryguy-- for beeing halpful | 03:39 |
| Hayley | !spam widenose | 03:39 |
| ubottu | Sorry, I don't know anything about spam widenose | 03:39 |
| Hayley | Gr | 03:39 |
| Hayley | Oh well | 03:39 |
| Fryguy-- | Hayley: I would, if possible. It might be the easiest solution. It'll probably take about the same amount of time to troubleshoot as to just reinstall with all drives of the other interface removed (you can put them back after you've installed) | 03:39 |
| nickrud | !helpersnack | Fryguy-- | 03:39 |
| ubottu | Fryguy--: Wow! You're such a great helper, you deserve a cookie! | 03:39 |
| Hayley | Fryguy--: Thx! =] | 03:40 |
| ventusignis | Can incorrect kernel boot options (from grub) force ubuntu into safe graphics mode? | 03:40 |
| crimsun | bullgard4: control group. | 03:40 |
| connor | How do I format a hard drive in ubuntu? | 03:40 |
| Fryguy-- | connor: mkfs | 03:40 |
| bullgard4 | crimsun: Thank you. | 03:40 |
| connor | explain? | 03:40 |
| Seven_Six_Two | ventusignis, more likely an update that's over written your xorg.conf | 03:40 |
| Fryguy-- | connor: mkfs is the command used to make a filesystem on a partition | 03:40 |
| bazhang | !gparted | connor | 03:40 |
| ubottu | connor: gparted is a !GUI partitioning program. Type « sudo apt-get install gparted » in a console to install it - A GParted "live" CD is available at http://gparted.sourceforge.net/livecd.php | 03:40 |
| ventusignis | You could use gparted. | 03:40 |
| ventusignis | as a frontend of sorts | 03:41 |
| bullgard4 | connor: It depends on the filesystem that you are going to install on your partition. | 03:41 |
| John1 | Is there a correct way to make the ISO file work and not become error 'proned'? | 03:41 |
| leemajors | ok, for the noobs among us who clicked on that link earlier, how do you force quit an app? | 03:41 |
| bazhang | !md5 | John1 | 03:41 |
| ubottu | John1: To verify your Ubuntu ISO image (or other files for which an MD5 checksum is provided), see http://help.ubuntu.com/community/VerifyIsoHowto or http://www.linuxquestions.org/linux/answers/LQ_ISO/Checking_the_md5sum_in_Windows | 03:41 |
| tomd123 | John1: what do you mean by error prone? | 03:41 |
| soul_786 | John1: most of the time there is no error but its a way to check and not screw up installation | 03:42 |
| connor | bullgard4: I'm formatting both of my internal hard drives so I can just have a simple ubuntu/vista dual boot | 03:42 |
| FelixTheCat | Found it! sudo tasksel install lamp-server | 03:42 |
| connor | installing xp was not a good idea | 03:42 |
| IdleOne | leemajors, click the X | 03:42 |
| Marfi | ....did i read it right? ubuntu 8.04.1? | 03:42 |
| nalioth | leemajors: open a terminal > type "xkill" and then click the berzerk app window | 03:42 |
| soul_786 | out of four iso downloads i havent have one problem | 03:42 |
| bazhang | Marfi, yes | 03:42 |
| leemajors | lol IdleOne you obviously didn't click the link | 03:42 |
| IdleOne | leemajors, it should bring up a not repsonding window and ask to force quit | 03:42 |
| John1 | Well, Somehow ImgBurn can create errors when I try to burn the ISO file to a CD. | 03:42 |
| Marfi | bazhang, may i ask....since WHEN did they make a (LTS).1? | 03:42 |
| nalioth | IdleOne: not with the link he clicked | 03:42 |
| IdleOne | leemajors, like I said I read links before clicking :) /me learned the hardway | 03:42 |
| bazhang | Marfi, responding to the ssl problem amongst others | 03:43 |
| tomd123 | Marfi: they came out with an updated 8.04 release. basically includes updated packages, thats it | 03:43 |
| IdleOne | nalioth, now I am curious lol | 03:43 |
| Pici | Marfi: 6.06 also had a .1 release... | 03:43 |
| nalioth | IdleOne: PM ? | 03:43 |
| Marfi | aight....i looked and was like....what the heck? | 03:43 |
| leemajors | IdleOne: yeah, looked harmless enough | 03:43 |
| Marfi | Pici, i didn't know that | 03:43 |
| leemajors | there was a time when firefox wasn't vulnerable to crap like that :| | 03:43 |
| Marfi | Pici, what was that one for, for my curiosity? | 03:43 |
| tomd123 | Marfi: since they used a rc in their lts release :) | 03:43 |
| IdleOne | nalioth, always | 03:43 |
| nalioth | leemajors: ALL browsers are subseptible to this to some extent | 03:43 |
| Fryguy-- | Marfi: if came out yesterday/today | 03:44 |
| soul_786 | I dont like firefox 3 beta but im too lazy to downgrade back to FF2 lol | 03:44 |
| John1 | Would anyone have a correct way to burn the ISO file to a CD? | 03:44 |
| Fryguy-- | soul_786: firefox3 is out of beta and has been for a couple of weeks | 03:44 |
| leemajors | nalioth: yep, true enough | 03:44 |
| Marfi | tomd123, i have never seen them do that. maybe its cause im slightly intoxicated....but thats just me | 03:44 |
| Pici | Marfi: This point release wasnt specifically for the ssl vulnerability, it has been on the release schedule since the beginning. | 03:44 |
| FelixTheCat | For anyone who cares, 'tasksel' will give you a curses menu and allow you to install a "role" to your server. | 03:44 |
| Fryguy-- | John1: imgburn in windows work | 03:44 |
| nalioth | John1: at 4x or less ( check your md5s ) | 03:44 |
| Pici | Marfi: Its because the release is an LTS | 03:44 |
| connor | Ok how do I format my hard drives with gparted? | 03:44 |
| Marfi | Pici, but did it come through as a normal update? | 03:44 |
| adude | when i try to open the volume control i get this error. (No volume control GStreamer plugins and/or devices found.) | 03:44 |
| Fryguy-- | connor: gparted is a pretty straightforward gui app. Do you have a specific question abou tit? | 03:45 |
| leemajors | Lamentit: how did you get on? | 03:45 |
| connor | I want both my internal hard drives formatted | 03:45 |
| John1 | What is the hash is not correct? | 03:45 |
| Pici | Marfi: Its not a new release. Its just all the updates rolled into a new ISO. | 03:45 |
| soul_786 | Fryguy: really? the update manager must have updated me then but theres certain things that I'm not liking still too much, maybe they decided not to change some things? like double clicking the address to highlight instead of single click | 03:45 |
| bazhang | John1, then re-dl the iso | 03:45 |
| nalioth | John1: you can use the torrent to 'fix it' w/o redownloading the whole thing | 03:45 |
| John1 | Alrighty thennnnnn | 03:46 |
| connor | How do I format using gparted? | 03:46 |
| tomd123 | John1: don't re-dl the iso, leave it, just use torrent to fix it.. it will check the parts which are corrupt and fix it | 03:46 |
| Lamentit | leemajors: I used the safely remove hardware wizard. And it just started right up. | 03:46 |
| leemajors | Lamentit: all working now? | 03:46 |
| bazhang | if its a torrent yes | 03:46 |
| John1 | Ah ok. | 03:46 |
| IntoxikCat | -Hi to all. | 03:46 |
| FelixTheCat | connor: First, you cannot be booted into the two drives you want formatted. Run a live cd with gparted and make sure all partitions are unmounted. | 03:46 |
| tomd123 | bazhang: you can also add it as a torrent, it doesn't have to be a torrent | 03:46 |
| connor | Oh | 03:47 |
| John1 | Just need to realize, Not all torrents are 'safe' | 03:47 |
| Lamentit | leemajors: Yup. Thanks! | 03:47 |
| John1 | =\ | 03:47 |
| leemajors | Lamentit: awesome, np :) | 03:47 |
| bullgard4 | connor: You did not describe your situation well enough. If you are going to install Ubuntu then the Ubuntu CD will usually format your Ubuntu partitions for you automatically. Otherwise you may consider using the program cfdisk. | 03:47 |
| ventusignis | Can't you unmount it from in gparted? | 03:47 |
| tehjord | Hey geys, I installed unbuntu x64 on my usb external hd, everything installed fine but when ubuntu starts to load, I get an ''error 2'' message, any idea what wrong ? | 03:47 |
| FelixTheCat | connor: Next, figure if you want to keep the current partitions or want to completely blow them away. | 03:47 |
| tomd123 | John1: the torrents provided on ubuntu's main website are "safe" :) | 03:47 |
| connor | bullgard4: I'm going to format both my internal hard drives, and just have 1 for my ubuntu/vista dual boot | 03:47 |
| IntoxikCat | Anybody know how repair an touchpad of Dell XPS M1530? With Ubuntu Hardy and BIOS 08. | 03:47 |
| FelixTheCat | connor: If you simply want to keep the partitions, there should be an option when you right-click each partition to format it. | 03:47 |
| John1 | I know. Lol | 03:47 |
| ventusignis | John1, unless your ISP bans bittorrent alltogether | 03:48 |
| ventusignis | I weep for those customers. | 03:48 |
| Sinister | how can i make a avi play in a regular dvd player ? | 03:48 |
| John1 | Which version of ImgBurn should be used for the ISO? | 03:48 |
| tomd123 | John1: the latest | 03:48 |

| Fryguy-- | John1: i use 2.4.1.0 | 03:48 |
| bullgard4 | connor: Then use cfdisk to format your partitions. | 03:48 |
| renoboy | can any one give me exact file name of ISO file to burn? | 03:48 |
| connor | So if I boot a gparted livecd, I can just select each hard drive and format the entire thing? | 03:48 |
| Fryguy-- | connor: yes | 03:48 |
| connor | I will do that | 03:48 |
| bazhang | connor, this is for dual boot? | 03:49 |
| John1 | The only reason Im asking is I wish to try Ubuntu and not have to deal with Windows anymore. | 03:49 |
| theshelter | anyone know real quick where you set double click to "roll" the active window...I did it before and forgot where it was... | 03:49 |
| FelixTheCat | connor: yes. If there are already partitions and you don't want them, you'll want to delete each one. Just be sure that's what you want - you WILL lose all data. | 03:49 |
| connor | bazhang: yes | 03:49 |
| unsungx | hello again, i went over to the compiz what not channel and go no help, anyone versed with knowledge on the whole 3d cube desktop business care to open a private channel with me? | 03:49 |
| connor | I'm going to format both so I can have fresh installs of both | 03:49 |
| bazhang | connor, then install windows first | 03:49 |
| Fryguy-- | John1: so then burn the ubuntu iso, put it in the drive, and install it | 03:49 |
| connor | bazhang: I am | 03:50 |
| Lamentit | Hmmm. How do I find out the default charset for my ubuntu box? | 03:50 |
| ventusignis | As I asked earlier, can incorrect kernel boot options (from grub) cause Ubuntu to boot into safe graphics mode? | 03:50 |
| FelixTheCat | connor: One other thing, will you install one OS per drive? | 03:50 |
| connor | felixthecat: no | 03:50 |
| renoboy | can anyone give me the exact name of the ISO file that i need to burn? | 03:50 |
| Fryguy-- | ventusignis: if you messed with them, yes | 03:50 |
| IdleOne | ventusignis, sounds like a plausible occurence | 03:50 |
| John1 | I shall do so my friendly neighborhood geek. | 03:50 |
| FelixTheCat | connor: Are you thinking about having some kind of RAID between the two drives for each OS? | 03:50 |
| ventusignis | I think it may be the vga=xxx option. | 03:51 |
| connor | felixthecat: my computer came with two internal hard drives | 03:51 |

| _rafa_ | can someone help me with some driver stuff? | 03:52 |
| FelixTheCat | connor: Are they on a RAID card? Otherwise, it's easiest to install Windows on the first drive and Linux on the 2nd. | 03:52 |
| connor | felixthecat: i planned on installing windows first | 03:52 |
| guangdawangluo | hello, folks | 03:52 |
| soul_786 | renoboy: it shuld be as long as you used one of those programs and burned the iso file | 03:52 |
| connor | whats a RAID card? I am pretty sure they are both sata drives | 03:52 |
| ventusignis | I will try changing it to vga=868 and see what happens then. | 03:53 |
| Killer--Tux | thanks guys !!! | 03:53 |
| geom | con-man, with LBA32 support it doesnt matter | 03:53 |
| FelixTheCat | connor: I understand, but you said you are NOT installing one OS per drive. | 03:53 |
| geom | which goes firsy | 03:53 |
| geom | first* | 03:53 |
| renoboy | yea i used clone dvd it has an ISO burning feature/ | 03:53 |
| Fryguy-- | ventusignis: vga= options in grub don't affect the graphics mode of ubuntu at all. that's just console resolution | 03:53 |
| connor | felixthecat: no I am not | 03:53 |
| connor | felixthecat: i am just going to use the second drive for data storage | 03:53 |
| connor | Ok I'm going to boot the gparted cd now | 03:54 |
| soul_786 | renoboy: then you should be set to go, make sure it boots from the cd drive and itll guide u through either the LiveCD feature or a direct install | 03:54 |

| CWii | FrancoGG, you know why. | 04:17 |
| bazhang | titan, install from package manager not random websites | 04:17 |
| tech0007 | ghee: mplayer is same as gmplayer -< gui | 04:17 |
| WhyACow | how do i boot livecd into a shell where i can run rsync? | 04:17 |
| Fryguy-- | titan: depends on what it is. And why are you downloading from the internet instead of just using the repositories | 04:17 |
| legend2440 | happypinguin: i have ati radeon 9600 with the open source driver and when i do locate fglrx.ko i get no file by that name found. so not sure. are you using the ati proprietary drivers? | 04:17 |
| jamiejackson | i'm in paranoid mode, and i don't want any opportunity for anything to write to it, will letting it mount then umounting it *definitely* guarantee that nothing writes to the disk? | 04:17 |
| titan | its 2nd life | 04:17 |
| tech0007 | ghee: it doesnt play w/ gmplayer? | 04:17 |
| Fryguy-- | WhyACow: when the livecd boots, press alt-f2, type gnome-terminal, and there you go | 04:18 |
| bear1 | titan I'm new from windows also I found that one big change in ubuntu from vista is add/remove programs function. | 04:18 |
| Fryguy-- | ghee: if mplayer doesn't play it, probably nothing will | 04:18 |
| ghee | tech0007: no it stutters, flashing with that error | 04:18 |
| WhyACow | thanks Fryguy-- | 04:18 |
| titan | its not in the install programs feture | 04:18 |
| bear1 | In windows you just remove programs in Ubuntu you actually add programs thats where I got all my programs. | 04:18 |
| ghee | tech0007: actually VLC does play it, but without sound ;-( | 04:18 |
| tech0007 | ghee: what kind of media is it? make sure u have ubuntu-restricted-extras installed | 04:18 |
| Fryguy-- | titan: there should be some directions that come with the program to install it. 2nd life is a binary so it's going to have a completely nonstandard way of installing it. | 04:18 |
| Dr_willis | titan, the site should have docs on how to insall.. if its a self-insalling executable. one normally does a 'sh ./whateveritis.bin' or similer command. | 04:18 |
| Billll | alright I'm burning unbunto as a iso image? | 04:19 |
| bear1 | oh yea hes going to have to use the Wine program I'm guessing | 04:19 |
| happypinguin | legend2440, I'm working on my friends laptop. He has an ATI X1200.. He needs to have TV-out. Does the opensource driver support TVOut using some GUI app? | 04:19 |
| bazhang | Billll, yes | 04:19 |
| ghee | tech0007: it's AVI, i'm pretty sure i have the extras, i'll check now | 04:19 |
| IdleOne | Billll, yes | 04:19 |
| tech0007 | jamiejackson: if its mounted ro, nothing's going to write on it | 04:19 |
| Fryguy-- | bear1: pretty sure 2ndlife has a native linux version, not sure | 04:19 |
| Billll | alright because it's a bit frustratign when it's not booting up from floppy to Cd =P | 04:19 |
| Dr_willis | Second Life has a Native Linux Client. :) it got GPL'd the other day i recall. | 04:19 |
| bear1 | oh cool | 04:19 |
| jamiejackson | tech0007: someone suggested i let it mount automatically, then umount it, that's why i'm asking | 04:20 |
| ghee | tech0007: yep, i have them installed | 04:20 |
| bullgard4 | In 'CFS scheduler' does CFS stand for 'Common Functional Specification'? | 04:20 |

| akuma55 | <Fryguy--> what was the thing you said to install for ftp on ubuntu server again | 04:20 |
| legend2440 | happypinguin: not sure about gui app but i use svideo cable to connect to TV to watch movie avi's on TV | 04:20 |

| cafree | I'm trying do a clean install of ubuntu using lvm raid 0, and I get an error that of one of the lvm volumes I created does not exist. Did I forget to install a package before restarting ubuntu? | 04:21 |
| happypinguin | legend2440, I suppose the linux-restricted-modules provides the proprietary driver, is that right? | 04:21 |
| tech0007 | jamiejackson: 'umount /devicepath' to unmount it | 04:21 |
| akuma55 | witch one is the best that you wout sugest | 04:21 |
| Leefmc | Question: Does nautilus support tabbed browsing? I swore i read that, but i see no sign of it | 04:21 |
| Fryguy-- | btw bullgard4: google for "what does cfs scheduler mean" and you'll see some more detailed information about the scheduler if you want (along with figure out it's name) | 04:21 |
| tech0007 | Leefmc: not yet, its planned in IOI | 04:22 |
| jamiejackson | tech0007: right, but is there any chance that anything will write to the disk before i umount it? | 04:22 |
| tech0007 | Leefmc: *II | 04:22 |
| belendax | /who freenode/staff/* | 04:22 |
| tech0007 | jamiejackson: if its ext3, it will have an lost+foudn folder, other than that i dont know | 04:22 |
| Leefmc | tech0007: Will that be an update to naut? Or Ubuntu .. Goat. (damn them and the naming scheme hehe) | 04:22 |
| akuma55 | what do you use | 04:22 |
| Fryguy-- | akuma55: i don't run an ftp server | 04:23 |
| tech0007 | Leefmc: i hope so coz i like that tabbed browsing alot | 04:23 |
| ghee | tech0007 yeah, i did that, but don't understand the output: "A: 0.0 V: 0.2 A-V: -0.165 ct: -0.013 5/ 5 ??% ??% ??,?% 0 0" | 04:23 |

| John1 | Ah ok. The reason why I wish to do such is because, I wish to learn much and be able to help with many things. | 04:26 |

| === mallinj is now known as jsmjsm | ||
| John1 | Does Ubuntu allow all types of Security keys? | 04:27 |

| akuma55 | <Fryguy--> what do you mean | 04:27 |
| Fryguy-- | John1: ? | 04:27 |
| jsmjsm | I am having trouble using the wireless connections in Ubuntu. | 04:27 |
| John1 | Lol. | 04:28 |
| Fryguy-- | akuma55: i mean it depends on how you have your network setup. If you have a router, you'll have to do port forwarding for example. Network configuraton and specifics of configuring proftpd are outside of the scope of this channel, check out google results for "ubuntu proftpd" for more information | 04:28 |

| Seracht | last question (hopefully) best SVN app? | 04:45 |
| Fryguy-- | DanaG: from what I know, all realtek drivers are awful in linux and have terrible throughput, both wired and wireless. I don't know why, and I don't know if it's true or not. But i've seen the source for some of the older realtek wired nics, and the comments are pretty funny | 04:45 |

| bazhang | renoboy, in windows no idea | 04:52 |
| rand0m | k so i did sudo apt-get install gdesklets and it did its thing but now what ? | 04:52 |
| tech0007 | renoboy: go to system information | 04:52 |
| Fryguy-- | renoboy: in windows, right click on my computer, properties, device manager, find the card there and give us as much information about it as possible | 04:52 |
| renoboy | do u think anyone in here knows how? | 04:52 |

| renoboy | so would it be easier if i just did it that way? | 05:06 |
| DanaG | 20 minutes! That's just plain RIDICULOUS! | 05:06 |
| bazhang | renoboy, we dont know the chipset just the model name | 05:07 |
| DanaG | And I'll bet it would've let me merrily go on for HOURS with it still thinking I was online... when I wasn't. | 05:07 |

| martosurf | hi guys/gals, please tell me i'm not the only one, every time i want to open GDM via "gksudo gdm" at the shell or clicking System>Administration>Login screen the window opens only to close half second later, i think this must be associated with a recent update because i didn't experienced this before and i'm chatting now from a brand new installed ubuntu 8.04, in fact i deleted all partitions and installed a fresh copy | 05:08 |

| jsmjsm | I'm struggling with setting up wireless in Ubuntu... Atheros chipset... using the Windows drivers.. not working | 05:08 |
| Fryguy-- | DanaG: it's partly a function of the protocols that various IM clients use. If you really think it should be filed as a bug, pidgin has a bug tracking system that you can get to at www.pidgin.im, go file a bug and the developers will get to it when they have a chance | 05:08 |

| merula | Redian, I would -assume- that to get a zune working, you first have to get it connected/recognized to the system, but I've never used a zune. -- the workstation requires a full install of *some* OS like windows and then the setup for a zune. | 05:24 |

| hyperstream | merula: i did that i had to import the .emerald file its there listed | 05:41 |
| Fryguy-- | vluther: i'd recommend taking the time to learn iptables syntax manually and just deal directly with iptables. It seems like you are going to be maintaining a pretty complicated setup, so it's probably best in the long run | 05:41 |

| rand0m | what's a good place to look for ubuntu screenshots of peoples setups so i can get inspiration for how to setup my desktop ? when i google it, i just get screenshots of default ubuntu screens | 06:01 |
| renoboy | what info do u need from there | 06:01 |
| leemajors | bloodrock: hmm, i haven't noticed. that one could take me days to diagnose :) however when the mouse stops working I can just switch right on over to the touchpad which works fine, and i don't have this problem in windows.. | 06:02 |
| [[thufir]] | how do I figure out which process has my network usage pegged? netstat looks ok to my untrained eye. | 06:02 |
| tj83 | rand0m i dont know.. but i'll pastebin mine if you like | 06:02 |
| rand0m | sure thanks | 06:02 |
| __yy | [[thufir]]: use nethogs | 06:02 |
| === sheep is now known as Starnestommy | ||
| rand0m | always interested to see how people have their desktops setup | 06:02 |
| lardarse | [[thufir]]: network usage? don't know, but you could try running top to see if tehre's a correllation between cpu usage and net usage | 06:02 |
| [[thufir]] | __yy: thanks | 06:03 |
| bloodrock | leemajors, k that kinda answers my thinking if no prob in windows it not a position prob | 06:03 |
| [[thufir]] | when I try to install nethogs I get: Could not get lock /var/cache/apt/archives/lock | 06:03 |
| renoboy | lardarse>> i pressed alt+f2 and it says run application and i checked the box run in terminal and i typed in lspci but nothing comes up | 06:04 |
| __yy | [[thufir]]: sounds like you're trying to use twp package managers at once | 06:04 |
| hyperstream | is there anyway to theme xchat into a dark colored style, i mean i cant change the background color of the userlist of server/channel/query tree window or the window i type in. | 06:04 |
| [[thufir]] | lardarse: top looks ok, cpu usage is normal | 06:04 |
| renoboy | what info do u need? | 06:04 |
| tj83 | rand0m http://imagebin.ca/view/i1kfxQ.html | 06:04 |
| bloodrock | leemajors, i'm blank on any other ideas sorry | 06:04 |
| lardarse | renoboy: then in the alt-f2 box, type gnome-terminal, and then type lspci in the terminal window that pops up | 06:04 |
| Xpistos | question about grub: I have 4 versions of the kernal. How do I get rid of three of them? | 06:05 |
| renoboy | ok now what? | 06:05 |
| leemajors | bloodrock: it's cool, thanks for trying :) | 06:05 |
| lardarse | renoboy: paste the output to pastebin http://paste.ubuntu.com and then ask the person who told you to type in lspci what to do next | 06:06 |
| geom | Xpistos, err edit you grub.con or menu.lst | 06:06 |
| [[thufir]] | apt-get from the command line is the same thing as the synaptic gui? | 06:06 |
| __yy | Xpistos: you can remove the entries from /boot/grub/menu.lst , but that doesn't remove the kenels, just the grub entries | 06:06 |
| Madpilot | [[thufir]], yes | 06:06 |
| Finiras | when I try to use find, locate or slocate, nothing happens. it doesnt even give an error, even when I do it with sudo, while im a 100% sure that the file is somewhere in the filesystem. what do I do wrong in a command like this? sudo slocate reservoir (this is supposed to search for all files in the filesystem with that word in the name right) | 06:06 |
| __yy | [[thufir]]: pretty much | 06:06 |
| renoboy | so bazhang is still on line? | 06:06 |
| bloodrock | Xpistos, you could cut and to be safe save to a seperate file the kernels you don't use in menu.lst | 06:06 |
| Xpistos | __yy: Just as long as they don't show on boot cause the screen isgetting a little crowded | 06:06 |
| [[thufir]] | when I tried to install through synaptic, it also was unable to get a lock. | 06:07 |
| __yy | Xpistos: take them out of menu.lst and they won't show on boot | 06:07 |
| bloodrock | *miseed putting paste in my suggestion | 06:07 |
| lardarse | [[thufir]]: only 1 program can manage packages at a time | 06:07 |
| Xpistos | that works for me | 06:08 |
| [[thufir]] | how do I stop whatever unknown program is managing packages? | 06:08 |
| lardarse | [[thufir]]: probable causes for not getting a lock are that update manage is running, synaptic is running, or you have either ap-get or aptitude running in another terminal window | 06:08 |
| Xpistos | __yy: Is there any reason I would need any other than 2.6.24.19 and 2.6.24.19 recovery to show up? | 06:08 |
| Madpilot | [[thufir]], are you running 8.04? Is there a sort of gear icon in the notification area beside the clock? | 06:09 |

| [[thufir]] | thanks, it was apt running in the background. I have a slow connection, how do I disable automatic updates? | 06:15 |
| rohan | are official xdeltas provided, to update my iso from 8.04 to 8.04.1? or unofficial xdeltas? | 06:15 |
| Xpistos | Cross your fingers!!!! | 06:15 |
| rohan | because 8.04 -> 8.04.1 is not a "significant" change, so it makes sense to provide xdeltas | 06:15 |
| Blaqlight | downloading source off the internet just dies. it gets a little into it, then the connection dies. | 06:15 |
| lardarse | [[thufir]]: updates won't download automatically (unless they changed something that i dont' know about) | 06:16 |

| lardarse | [[thufir]]: i am drawing up a blank | 06:17 |
| Flannel | rohan: Depending on your definition of significant, it could be. Since a good deal of the packages were updates (although I have no hard numbers backing this up) | 06:17 |
| lardarse | suggest you ask on the forums | 06:17 |
| Blaqlight | __yy, firefox 3 | 06:17 |

| Xpistos | __YY: Thanks that did the trick | 06:18 |
| lardarse | saint-takeshi: no... the usual way involves turning the monitor on before turning the computer on, and then looking in the top-left closely. this may not work for on-board video though | 06:18 |
| __yy | Xpistos: np | 06:18 |

| jerkface03 | how can i find out which packages i've installe with apt-get? | 06:41 |
| Fryguy-- | jerkface03: dpkg --list | 06:41 |
| Fryguy-- | jerkface03: or dpkg --get-selections | 06:41 |
| Gazingson | okay...just did the lsusb | 06:41 |
| jerkface03 | i'm trying to purge all this x11 stuff | 06:41 |
| kari | ubunubi:thanks for the info and i got my loco team | 06:41 |
| jerkface03 | but there's still reminance of it around | 06:41 |
| ubunubi | kari:: np. enjoy | 06:41 |
| runes | wow I didn't realize how easy it was to set apache to support users home folders | 06:42 |
| Gazingson | hey.. | 06:42 |
| tj83 | Gazingson, so what is the link? or card? | 06:42 |
| Gazingson | here it is | 06:42 |
| Gazingson | fryguy | 06:42 |
| jerkface03 | i uninstalled xorg-dev, but i still see x11 stuff when i do dpkg --list | 06:43 |
| Gazingson | Bus 006 Device 004: ID 0bda:0158 Realtek Semiconductor Corp. | 06:43 |
| jerkface03 | what is causing it to stay there? | 06:43 |
| jerkface03 | i purged it and autocleaned | 06:43 |
| m1dn1ght_ | Fryguy - in some horrible (or awesome) twist of fate, I'm suddenly unable to replicate the problem and it seems to be working fine now | 06:43 |
| Gazingson | Bus 006 Device 003: ID 0bda:8189 Realtek Semiconductor Corp. | 06:43 |
| m1dn1ght_ | Sorry to waste your time :) | 06:43 |

| ubottu | Gazingson: some help for recent Realtek chipsets can be found at https://help.ubuntu.com/community/WifiDocs/Device/RealtekRTL8187b | 06:43 |
| tj83 | i wrote it.. its probably crude.. bit it works Gazingson | 06:43 |
| __yy | jerkface03: there is a lot more to x11 than x11-dev. Why are you trying to remove X? | 06:43 |
| Gazingson | sounds good to me | 06:44 |
| Gazingson | long as it works | 06:44 |
| jerkface03 | installed only x11 on ubuntu server for dev purposes | 06:44 |
| Fryguy-- | jerkface03: there's a lot of X packages, and if you have ubuntu-desktop installed you'll still have remnants. remove ubuntu-desktop and see what happens | 06:44 |
| jerkface03 | don't need it anymore | 06:44 |
| tj83 | Gazingson, it works.. pulled my hair out for along time on that one. | 06:44 |
| jerkface03 | not using desktop, using server | 06:44 |
| Gazingson | thansk | 06:44 |
| Gazingson | thanks | 06:44 |
| jerkface03 | ahh wait | 06:44 |
| jerkface03 | i think that got rid of it | 06:44 |
| jerkface03 | sec | 06:44 |
| Gazingson | i need to learn so i don't always bother people in here | 06:44 |
| Gazingson | and do things like you tj83 | 06:44 |
| jerkface03 | no it's still there? | 06:45 |
| ksax | i can't get openoffice to work, it always says that i don't have the correct permissions. any help? | 06:45 |
| Fryguy-- | Gazingson: just google everything, and put the word ubuntu in any search term you google for. most of the time you'll find your solution in the first page of results or so | 06:45 |
| jerkface03 | purge gets rid of everything right? even dependencies that are only used for x | 06:45 |
| jerkface03 | ? | 06:45 |
| tj83 | Gazingson, plz edit that wiki and put your model number in the list for me.. you will need to register or give me model number | 06:45 |
| Gazingson | ??? | 06:45 |
| Fryguy-- | jerkface03: no purge removes configuration files | 06:45 |
| jerkface03 | christ | 06:45 |
| jerkface03 | how do i remove it all? | 06:45 |
| Gazingson | brb | 06:46 |
| Gazingson | brb | 06:46 |
| tj83 | Gazingson, i like to keep track of what computers have that card for helping others.. just let me know your exact model number. | 06:46 |
| Fryguy-- | jerkface03: there should be a 'remove dependencies' options, check out the manpage for dpkg or apt-get to see | 06:46 |
| runes | question? What is the official backup program supported in Ubuntu? | 06:46 |
| Fryguy-- | runes: there is no "official" backup program. If you are looking to backup entire partitions, use dd, otherwise check out something like rdiff-backup | 06:46 |
| jerkface03 | is there anyway i can uninstall these god damn packages? | 06:47 |
| Jester45 | !backup | 06:47 |
| ubottu | There are many ways to back your system up. Here's a few: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/BackupYourSystem , https://help.ubuntu.com/community/DuplicityBackupHowto , https://wiki.ubuntu.com/HomeUserBackup , https://help.ubuntu.com/community/MondoMindi - See also !sbackup and !cloning | 06:47 |
| Fryguy-- | jerkface03: i just told you, there is probably a with dependencies option, have a look in the man page and see | 06:47 |
| tj83 | !language jerkface03 | 06:47 |

| ackbahr | Hi there! In System>preferences>removable media , I don't have the 'CD & DVD' tab. Can someone help me? | 06:48 |
| Fryguy-- | IntrepidOne: pretty sure purge just removes configuration files | 06:48 |
| jerkface03 | wait wait | 06:48 |
| jerkface03 | autoremove | 06:48 |
| jerkface03 | that was the option! | 06:48 |
| andy_ | ackbahr, i don't either. are you sure they're supposed to be there? | 06:49 |
| Gnea | ackbahr: they threw it under the Storage tab | 06:49 |
| andy_ | (it is ironic the icon for removal media is a cd, and there is no cd tab) | 06:49 |
| IntrepidOne | Fryguy--, "remove --purge" uninstall and gets rid of conf files | 06:49 |
| andy_ | i dont have a Storage tab either | 06:49 |
| Fryguy-- | IntrepidOne: yes that's what i just said, he's wanting to remove dependencies | 06:49 |
| Gnea | hrm | 06:49 |
| ksax | i can't get openoffice to work, it always says that i don't have the correct permissions. any help? | 06:50 |
| Fryguy-- | IntrepidOne: purge is mostly useless to him | 06:50 |
| IntrepidOne | Fryguy--, oh sorry well then depending how he installed the package and if the depends are no longer used it will remove them auto. or at least suggest to | 06:50 |
| Gnea | ksax: when performing what operation? | 06:50 |
| akuma55 | <Fryguy--> when im done with nano how deo i get out | 06:50 |
| ksax | opening openoffice | 06:50 |
| ksax | it doesn't matter which | 06:50 |
| Fryguy-- | akuma55: 1. why are you asking me. 2. there is a list of keyboard shortcuts at the bottom of your screen | 06:50 |
| ksax | writer, etc. | 06:51 |
| ackbahr | Gnea: I'll look closer | 06:51 |
| Fryguy-- | akuma55: ^X prolly | 06:51 |
| MGrunde | ksax, try sudo dpkg-reconfigure openoffice.org | 06:51 |
| renoboy6 | I have the broadcom 43xx wireless chipset and am using https://help.ubuntu.com/community/WifiDocs/Driver/bcm43xx/Feisty_No-Fluff how can I get ndiswrapper onto my machine as well as the drivers without a net connection? | 06:51 |

| cl0s_ | how would I go about disabling compiz when i start up games or certain apps and then re-enabling it after exit? | 06:51 |
| ackbahr | Gnea: No 'storage tab' here.... :( | 06:51 |
| IntrepidOne | the ^ means ctrl | 06:51 |
| Gnea | renoboy6: got a usb drive? | 06:51 |
| tj83 | cl0s, metacity --replace | 06:51 |
| Fryguy-- | renoboy6: it would be easiest to just bring your computer downstairs and plug it in for the download | 06:51 |
| Gnea | ackbahr: sec, booting up a hardy system | 06:51 |
| renoboy6 | yes i do | 06:51 |
| ackbahr | andy_: Well, most of the things I saw about this assumed it was there! | 06:51 |
| ksax | didn't help, i still have missing access rights | 06:52 |
| Gnea | renoboy6: there ya go :) | 06:52 |
| cl0s_ | metacitty --replace turns off compiz? | 06:52 |
| andy_ | ackbahr, it may have been in the past. i am not sure where the options for cd autorun went | 06:52 |
| tj83 | cl0s, and then compiz --replace | 06:52 |
| ackbahr | Gnea: Thanks a lot.... | 06:52 |
| cl0s_ | ooo ok.. thankss, will try | 06:52 |
| tj83 | cl0s, yes | 06:52 |
| Gnea | ksax: can you take a screenshot? | 06:52 |
| renoboy6 | well i already downloaded it and burned on to a cd will that work? | 06:52 |

| cvn` | how do i uninstall ubuntu? there is some problem when i dual boot it and i need to uninstall it | 06:52 |
| ksax | just a minute | 06:52 |
| Fryguy-- | renoboy6: probably, try it and see | 06:52 |
| Fryguy-- | cvn`: replacing with windows? | 06:52 |
| Gnea | renoboy6: the windows drivers or the .deb packages or both? | 06:53 |
| andy_ | ackbahr, i think that some cd auto run options are configurable in gconf-editor | 06:53 |
| kari | how can i play dvd files(.dat)? | 06:53 |
| ackbahr | Fryguy--: That's the hardcore way..... | 06:53 |
| Gnea | cvn`: what's the problem? | 06:53 |
| renoboy6 | both | 06:53 |
| tj83 | cvn`, more appropriate to uninstall the problem which is whatever else is on your computer :) j/k | 06:53 |
| ackbahr | andy_: ok, I'll try that | 06:53 |
| Gnea | renoboy6: should work fine | 06:53 |
| ripped | hello can some help me plez!!!!!!!!!! | 06:53 |
| Fryguy-- | !ask | ripped | 06:53 |
| ubottu | ripped: 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. :-) | 06:53 |
| ackbahr | tj83: Like Windows, probably | 06:53 |
| ripped | *someone | 06:53 |
| andy_ | ackbahr, youll have to dig for the specific key though. gconf-editor is like a whole nest | 06:53 |
| IntrepidOne | renoboy6, put the cd in the computer and it should open up a window showing you the files. then you can continue to follow the install instructions | 06:53 |
| Gnea | ripped: in order to obtain a clue, you must provide one, please. | 06:54 |
| renoboy6 | lol is doesnt have install instructions... | 06:54 |
| ripped | um...firefox has no sound plez someone help. | 06:54 |
| cvn` | hello Gnea.. i was trying to dual boot my system with ubuntu and windows. i started by installing ubuntu first, but after i install windows later, ubuntu doesnt seem to work. i think i'll try by installing windows first then ubuntu. so now i need a clean system to start on with. but how do i remove ubuntu off? | 06:54 |
| Fryguy-- | ripped: what in firefox is trying to play sound | 06:54 |
| Flannel | !grub | cvn` | 06:54 |
| ubottu | cvn`: grub is the default Ubuntu boot manager. Lost grub after installing windows: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/RecoveringUbuntuAfterInstallingWindows - Making GRUB floppies & other GRUB howtos: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/GrubHowto | 06:54 |
| andy_ | cvn`, do you care about any data on the drive presently? | 06:54 |
| Gnea | ripped: keep it to the channel. | 06:54 |
| ackbahr | andy_: So I noticed a few days earlier | 06:54 |
| ripped | a youtube video. | 06:54 |
| Flannel | cvn`: Use the first link there, and you'll get Ubuntu back | 06:54 |
| ksax | gnea: the screenshot is at http://img224.imageshack.us/img224/4706/screenshotgc8.png | 06:54 |
| Fryguy-- | cvn`: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/RecoveringUbuntuAfterInstallingWindows | 06:54 |
| Gnea | cvn`: oh ok, you just need to use the livecd again | 06:55 |
| Fryguy-- | cvn`: http://www.howtogeek.com/howto/ubuntu/reinstall-ubuntu-grub-bootloader-after-windows-wipes-it-out/ | 06:55 |
| ripped | sorry gnea | 06:55 |
| andy_ | you want to uninstall ubuntu or fix it? | 06:55 |

| ackbahr | andy_: Looked for "audio", didn't see anything that looked close to it.... | 06:55 |
| kari | how can i play dvd files(.dat)? | 06:55 |
| Fryguy-- | ripped: set up firefox to use the alsa-oss wrapper | 06:55 |
| xtknight | ackbahr, ok so you want to have audio cds automatically play? | 06:56 |
| Gnea | cvn`: what's happened, is that the windows bootloader has replaced grub - you can still replace grub in the MBR and still be able to dual boot with no issues | 06:56 |
| ripped | anyways i trying to watch a youtube a vid. but it has no sound my other things work. | 06:56 |
| ackbahr | xtknight: No, I want them to stop doing this | 06:56 |
| Gnea | kari: mplayer | 06:56 |
| cvn` | Gnea: but windows can't load, the GRUB error was hanged. will replacing grub helps? | 06:57 |
| ackbahr | I'm ripping them, and I don't want to close a player 80 more times (I'm ripping a lot of them, actually) | 06:57 |
| Fryguy-- | cvn`: yes | 06:57 |
| Bax | this is driving me nuts. I can't format my EHD to fat32 on my xp laptop (which recognizes my EHD) and I can't get my ubuntu on my desktop to recognize ntfs, even with ntfs-3d. Should I just return my WD external hard drive? | 06:57 |

| ackbahr | Sorry folks who are trying to help me, but my 14 month-old daughter just woke up, and the lukewarm bottle of milk can't wait. See you all later, and thanks! | 06:57 |
| ripped | well can someone plez tell me what to do. no sound on firefox. i think is the flash thing. | 06:57 |
| Fryguy-- | ripped: i told you, set up firefox to use alsa-oss | 06:58 |
| Fryguy-- | ripped: http://jorgecaceresyanez.blogspot.com/2007/01/youtube-videos-firefox-adn-ubuntu.html | 06:58 |
| ripped | how? | 06:58 |
| Gnea | cvn`: is grub providing a grub error number? | 06:58 |

| Gnea | kari: i'm sorry, i forgot what the problem was? | 07:04 |

| Metatron | sudo rm or start nautilis as root | 07:05 |
| yowshi | how do i format a drive in an HDD thats in an external drive cage plugged into the comp via usb? | 07:05 |
| Fryguy-- | ripped: are you running firefox3? if so that file needs to go into /etc/firefox-3, not /etc/firefox | 07:05 |
| kevinmcq | xtknight: zcat[1]: what if they're in trash, same story? | 07:05 |
| jerkface03 | great | 07:05 |
| jerkface03 | i unstall x11 | 07:05 |
| jerkface03 | and now nothing is working | 07:05 |
| jerkface03 | i can't connect via ssh | 07:05 |
| jerkface03 | and samba fails on startup | 07:05 |
| xtknight | kevinmcq, basically, except the path to the trash... i cant remember that off hand, it is no longer ~/.trash | 07:05 |
| FloodBot3 | jerkface03: Please don't flood, use http://paste.ubuntu.com to paste, don't use Enter as punctuation. | 07:05 |
| Gnea | yowshi: right click on it, properties | 07:05 |
| greenfishx3 | thanks Fryguy-- and slavi1 | 07:05 |
| slavi1 | xtknight: which card you said you had? montego ddl? | 07:05 |
| zcat[1] | kevinmcq: sudo rm /home/kevinmcq/.local/Trash/file | 07:05 |
| xtknight | kevinmcq, you could try 'gksu nautilus trash:///' and then empty | 07:05 |
| jerkface03 | can someone help me? is there a repair option somewher? | 07:05 |
| xtknight | slavi1, ya Montego DDL | 07:05 |
| jerkface03 | somewhere* | 07:05 |
| Gnea | !repeat | jerkface03 | 07:05 |
| ubottu | jerkface03: 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 | 07:05 |
| slavi1 | greenfishx3: also, look at the command 'man' | 07:05 |
| Fryguy-- | !enter | jerkface03 | 07:05 |
| ubottu | jerkface03: Please try to keep your questions/responses on one line - don't use the "Enter" key as punctuation! | 07:05 |
| jerkface03 | Gnea: not a repeat, a new problem | 07:06 |
| zcat[1] | kevinmcq: sudo rm /home/kevinmcq/.local/share/Trash/file sorry.. | 07:06 |
| slavi1 | xtknight: I was actually wondering about that one since turtlebeach makes their own audio chip (no alsa support) | 07:06 |
| kevinmcq | ok thanks folks, next question, this ubuntu 8.04 install is on my thinkpad x40, and i cant get silly ubuntu to stop changing my brightness | 07:06 |
| xtknight | slavi1, it says the chip on which barracuda is based, is supported. http://www.alsa-project.org/main/index.php/Matrix:Vendor-C-Media | 07:06 |
| emmet | jerkface03 whatsup? | 07:06 |
| Fryguy-- | jerkface03: probably just uninstalled some packages you shouldn't have. try and identify them and reinstall them | 07:06 |
| kevinmcq | i want to keep my brightness low to preserve battery life | 07:06 |
| xtknight | slavi1, cmi8788 i think | 07:06 |
| yowshi | cool now to get it ready for the next time ubuntu upgrades heh | 07:06 |
| Gnea | jerkface03: you repeated the whole "can someone pleze help me?" thing - it's implied by now, you don't need to repeat it. | 07:06 |
| kevinmcq | but it just keeps turning it up | 07:06 |
| slavi1 | hmm, your 8738 seems to have only 1 hardware output channel ... | 07:06 |
| slavi1 | xtknight: I know ... | 07:06 |
| xtknight | slavi1, oh what do you mean? | 07:06 |
| slavi1 | look at the aplay output | 07:07 |
| zcat[1] | kevinmcq: sudo rm -rf /home/kevinmcq/.local/share/Trash/* ought to be pretty harmless.. just make doubletriplesure there's no space between the path and the * | 07:07 |
| MGrunde | slavi1, I can't seem to find anything regarding blacklisting modules loaded in the initrd in the wiki. Do you happen to have an idea what page it was on? | 07:07 |
| jerkface03 | Fryguy--: is there repair functionality built into the installation cd or something? | 07:07 |

| zcat[1] | generally if the install CD gives you a shell, it's because the install kernel doesn't have support for your cdrom or drive interface and can't load the next stage | 07:08 |

| Fryguy-- | bullgard4: there should be other formats available | 07:20 |
| Fryguy-- | mariachiac: have you done a check on the CD to make sure it was burned correctly | 07:20 |
| tj83 | mariachiac, have you tried re-downloading and burning the disk? have you check the md5sums? | 07:20 |

| slavi1 | MGrunde: you can try to disable that | 07:25 |
| Fryguy-- | onisciente: create and ext3 | 07:25 |

| xtknight | MGrunde, maybe some options in /etc/initramfs-tools (which is looked at when you do update-initramfs or mkinitramfs) | 07:25 |
| bullgard4 | Fryguy--: On my Hardy computer there are installed the DEB program packages xslt1.1 and xsltproc. "detlef@MD97600:~$ man xslt; No manual entry for xslt". What do you mean by 'xslt'? | 07:25 |
| MGrunde | slavi1, and that does fix the thermal problem, but it also causes a few other problems of its own. | 07:25 |

| Fryguy-- | onisciente: not really | 07:26 |

| xtknight | what's the preferred way to adjust cpu speed? the cpu scaling applet does not permit me to actually modify anything, only see the frequency ? | 07:31 |
| slavi1 | not desktop, btw, it makes a good emulator system, I wonder if it can run PSX realtime | 07:31 |
| petar20 | whats the easiest command to find out wht /dev your burner is+ | 07:31 |
| xtknight | petar20, df -h | 07:31 |
| slavi1 | xtknight: the applet has governors that you can choose | 07:31 |
| Fryguy-- | petar20: cat /etc/fstab | 07:31 |
| onisciente | is there a program such cleaner for windows? Something that remove old temporary files. | 07:31 |
| msshams | i installed glipper from apt-get. but now i cant run it from terminal and i can't find it at application list menu. can you help me plz? | 07:31 |
| slavi1 | onisciente: no | 07:31 |
| ozkelligirl | any one know how i can make co for testing sound systems | 07:31 |
| LSD|Ninja | slavi1: it's going to become more common now that Vista SP1 has arrived and Intel are making it a part of a future centrino platform (I can't recall if it's Montevina or the one after though) | 07:32 |
| Fryguy-- | onisciente: if you care about removing termporary files, when you remove the package that is using them, use the purge options | 07:32 |
| xtknight | slavi1, unfortunately i dont think i have the options. well i left-click on it, and nothing happens. alternate way to set cpu governor or does that require a recompile?> | 07:32 |
| slavi1 | onisciente: there is a /tmp directory that gets wiped on every boot, that's where temp stuff goes to | 07:32 |
| slavi1 | onisciente: there is also /var but that is for temp stuff that needs to remain | 07:32 |
| Fryguy-- | xtknight: i'm not sure if there is any way to manually set a cpu frequency like that | 07:32 |
| xtknight | i want to use 100% duty cycle, not throttled at all. any way to set taht? | 07:32 |
| slavi1 | xtknight: hmm, hold on | 07:32 |
| Fryguy-- | xtknight: stop powernowd | 07:32 |
| Fryguy-- | xtknight: not sure why you'd want to do that, it's just wasting power, but powernowd is what you want to get rid of | 07:33 |
| slavi1 | onisciente: don't worry with the menial tasks you were used to in Windows ... | 07:33 |
| xtknight | Fryguy--, i see, that did it | 07:33 |
| xtknight | i dont, i guess. i just dont want it throttling when i want my full 3 ghz for video or whatever else | 07:33 |
| Fryguy-- | it uses full cpu power if it needs it, it doesn't otherwise | 07:34 |
| Fryguy-- | xtknight: it shouldn't be noticable | 07:34 |
| slavi1 | xtknight: it is probably set to ondemand, so don't worry about it :) | 07:34 |
| xtknight | ah k i just never saw it go up to 3 ghz and wondered | 07:34 |
| magnetron | QUESTION: are there any deb-torrent or apt-torrent ubuntu repositories? can i use apt-torrent or debtorrent to get my .deb packages? | 07:34 |
| slavi1 | xtknight: at desktop use, my CPU always stays at 1.6GHz, for a game, it jumps to 2.4GHz | 07:34 |
| ozkelligirl | fryguy do you know of a program for making cds for testing sound systems? | 07:34 |
| Fryguy-- | ozkelligirl: why would you ask me? | 07:35 |
| tj83 | xtknight, /sys/devices/system/cpu/cpu0/cpufreq/scaling_governor ? | 07:35 |
| slavi1 | ozkelligirl: you could probably create a track using Audacity .... | 07:35 |
| ozkelligirl | you seam smart | 07:35 |
| Fryguy-- | ozkelligirl: i don't know anything | 07:35 |
| slavi1 | tj83: you remember that?! | 07:35 |
| xtknight | tj83, ondemand | 07:35 |
| xtknight | lol | 07:35 |
| Fryguy-- | ozkelligirl: looks like some decent results here http://www.google.com/search?hl=en&safe=off&client=firefox-a&rls=org.mozilla%3Aen-US%3Aofficial&q=soundsystem+test+cd&btnG=Search | 07:36 |
| Fryguy-- | ozkelligirl: I usually just use test tones when I'm calibrating sound systems | 07:36 |
| slavi1 | it's interesting how this channel changed ... there are very little newbie type questions here ... :) | 07:36 |
| slavi1 | Fryguy--: you're a sound person? | 07:36 |
| Fryguy-- | slavi1: most of these questions are newbie questions, what are you talking about? | 07:36 |
| LOWER_CASE | Hi, can anyone recommend an Appointment Manager application? I don't necessarily want to use Evolution, since I already use Thunderbird for email. | 07:36 |
| tj83 | slavi1, from debian days | 07:36 |
| Fryguy-- | slavi1: yes, very much so | 07:36 |
| Fryguy-- | LOWER_CASE: sunbird | 07:36 |

| Kunin | Out of curiosity, anyone else have an eee 901 and tried to get UBuntu on it? | 07:37 |
| slavi1 | Fryguy--: any advice on a PC sound card? | 07:37 |
| xtknight | tj83, ya i think ill leave it now to save power, as long as it can scale up, but thx for the info. that was what i was looking for | 07:37 |
| Fryguy-- | Kunin: www.ubuntu-eee.com | 07:37 |
| tj83 | never tried in ubuntu.. but works in debian | 07:37 |
| Fryguy-- | slavi1: onboard | 07:37 |
| Kunin | I got mine running, after 2 days of fighting the drivers, just wondering if anyone else had that | 07:37 |
| slavi1 | Fryguy--: :( | 07:37 |
| sonicjosh | I need the install path of firefox | 07:37 |
| Kunin | fryguy -> Yeah, I used that but there were some issues getting the network drivers(wired and wireless) running, wondering if anyone else had the same issues | 07:37 |
| slavi1 | Kunin: I have a friend that loaded up Xubuntu on his, not sure of the exact model, it's the 300USD one | 07:37 |
| Fryguy-- | slavi1: any onboard sound with digital output is going to output bitperfect audio. | 07:37 |
| bullgard4 | Fryguy--: http://packages.ubuntu.com/search?searchon=contents&keywords=xslt&mode=exactfilename&suite=hardy&arch=any does not find xslt. Where can I get xslt from? | 07:38 |
| slavi1 | Fryguy--: I need digital in :P | 07:38 |
| Fryguy-- | bullgard4: no idea, it'd be better for you to find another documentation source than docbook-xsl | 07:38 |
| berkelep | yo all. having some issues with webmin creating users with duplicate ids. | 07:38 |
| Kunin | slavil 901 probably, the 901 is 600USD and just game out | 07:38 |

| Kunin | *came out | 07:38 |
| LOWER_CASE | Fryguy-- Thanks. | 07:38 |
| Fryguy-- | slavi1: i'm into audio playback, not recording | 07:38 |
| ironporcupine | hello? | 07:38 |
| slavi1 | Kunin: no, his is older, it's the 7" model with 4gb of solid state built in | 07:38 |
| ogre | i got my wireless card stuck in monitor mode how do get it back to normal? | 07:38 |
| leemajors | is there any spotlight equivalent for ubuntu? | 07:39 |
| Fryguy-- | ogre: iwconfig should be able to do it for you | 07:39 |
| Fryguy-- | leemajors: tracker | 07:39 |
| slavi1 | Fryguy--: well, I am going to hook up my klipsch promedia 5.1 to it :) | 07:39 |
| berkelep | before i installed webmin, had several users created. then went to add more users and webmin created them with the same ids as the existing ones. | 07:39 |
| ironporcupine | help????????? | 07:39 |
| Fryguy-- | !ask | ironporcupine | 07:39 |
| ubottu | ironporcupine: 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. :-) | 07:39 |
| leemajors | cheers Fryguy--:) | 07:39 |
| Fryguy-- | !webmin | berkelep | 07:39 |
| ubottu | berkelep: webmin is no longer supported in Debian and Ubuntu. It is not compatible with the way that Ubuntu packages handle configuration files, and is likely to cause unexpected issues with your system. See !ebox instead. | 07:39 |
| slavi1 | ouch | 07:39 |
| slavi1 | xtknight: http://www.phoronix.com/scan.php?page=article&item=939&num=1 | 07:40 |
| berkelep | ubottu: thank you. | 07:40 |
| ubottu | Sorry, I don't know anything about thank you. | 07:40 |
| slavi1 | berkelep: he's a bot ... he doesn't mind the work ;) | 07:40 |

| slavi1 | mayankjain: IRC | 07:42 |
| bullgard4 | Fryguy--: I will try to find a better documentation source for explaining the term 'ata_piix' to me. But your answer surprises me because the file /usr/share/doc/linux-doc-2.6.24/Documentation/DocBook/libata.tmpl is part of the official Ubuntu documentation. | 07:42 |
| Starnestommy | mayankjain: server irc.freenode.net port 6667 channel #ubuntu | 07:42 |
| Fryguy-- | guest2342: sudo apt-get install ntfs-3g | 07:42 |
| mayankjain | then what to do | 07:42 |
| guest2342 | if i have it on the desktop? | 07:42 |
| Gazingson | i have a sudo apt-get install ndiswrapper-common ndiswrapper-utils-1.9 ndisgtk | 07:42 |
| guest2342 | that woudl work? | 07:42 |
| tj83 | Gazingson, may i ask why the desperate need for ndiswrapper? | 07:42 |
| Gazingson | i don't even know | 07:43 |
| Fryguy-- | bullgard4: no, that's part of the linux kernel documentation | 07:43 |
| Gazingson | did not even mean to paste that | 07:43 |
| slavi1 | tj83: ndiswrapper needs to die ... | 07:43 |
| Gazingson | i have realtek 8189 | 07:43 |
| Gazingson | can't get wireless | 07:43 |
| tj83 | another one! | 07:43 |

| slavi1 | tj83: ??? | 07:43 |
| tj83 | !realtek \ Gazingson | 07:43 |
| ubottu | tj83: Error: I am only a bot, please don't think I'm intelligent :) | 07:43 |
| Fryguy-- | slavi1: contribute some time and port some drivers over to linux then :0 | 07:43 |
| semisonic | ANyone know any answer's to my q? | 07:43 |
| tj83 | !realtek | Gazingson | 07:43 |

| petar20 | does a dvd need to be mounted in order to burn it? its a blank dvd9 | 07:43 |

| Fryguy-- | ironporcupine: use pidgin | 07:44 |
| semisonic | Does the Latest Ver of Ubuntu Server work natively with COmpaq SmartArray.. eg. DL-380? | 07:44 |
| Gazingson | so what do i need to do | 07:44 |
| bullgard4 | Fryguy--: Yes, that is true. And Ubuntu provides the linux kernel documentation as a package on its basic repositories. | 07:44 |
| Fryguy-- | bullgard4: yes, and? | 07:44 |
| tj83 | you need to follow that link and the instructions i wrote there. | 07:44 |
| ironporcupine | does pidgin support voice and cam? | 07:44 |
| mayankjain | what to write in server name in irc | 07:44 |
| Fryguy-- | ironporcupine: no | 07:44 |
| Fryguy-- | mayankjain: irc.freenode.net | 07:44 |
| mayankjain | to connect to this chat | 07:44 |
| slavi1 | Fryguy--: I can't help if Broadcomm is a bunch of members of the “National Socialist German Workers’ Party” | 07:44 |
| tj83 | Gazingson, follow that link and the step-by-step how to. | 07:44 |
| Gazingson | i tried to | 07:45 |
| slavi1 | ironporcupine: not yet ... | 07:45 |
| Gazingson | so many times | 07:45 |
| Gazingson | i am 100% new at this | 07:45 |
| ironporcupine | i need a chat program that supports voice and cam | 07:45 |
| Gazingson | this is like day 2 for me | 07:45 |
| bullgard4 | Fryguy--: So Ubuntu considers this as the documentation for Ubuntu users. | 07:45 |
| Gazingson | with no background | 07:45 |
| tj83 | Gazingson, i wrote it, i'v tested it, i have helped many with it. it WORKS | 07:45 |
| mayankjain | why screen name and username is diff | 07:45 |
| gsevil | I suspend my computer and it return tu login screen, how can I fix? | 07:45 |
| Gazingson | i believe you | 07:45 |
| xtknight | slavi1, do you have an hd tuner card? | 07:45 |
| Jcink | ironporcupine, what about skype | 07:45 |
| tj83 | Gazingson, all you have to do is copy and paste each line and your done | 07:46 |
| Gazingson | okay | 07:46 |
| Fryguy-- | bullgard4: so then google how to use xslt to transform it into the format you want and read it. Otherwise find it pre-converted to another format. You've been told this already | 07:46 |
| ironporcupine | i cant figure skype out | 07:46 |
| akuma55 | <Fryguy--> i got ftp access to my server but i can find my secondary drive | 07:46 |
| lf_ar | hey | 07:46 |
| slavi1 | xtknight: had ... removed it (I wasn't using it and couldn't get MythTV configured) | 07:46 |
| lf_ar | how do i change my general mp? | 07:46 |
| lf_ar | on ubuntu | 07:46 |
| Jcink | ironporcupine, what do you mean? | 07:46 |
| tj83 | ironporcupine, you need mediabuntu repo and the sudo apt-get install skype | 07:46 |
| slavi1 | it was an Avermedia with the bt878 chipset (which is supposedly well supported) | 07:46 |
| Fryguy-- | akuma55: there's plenty of proftpd documentation out there, and I linked you to a bunch of it. I don't use proftpd so i can't help you | 07:46 |
| xtknight | slavi1, oh i see.. well i have a radeon HD and fglrx is buggy with it. radeonhd has no xv support yet, so im out of biz | 07:47 |
| slavi1 | actually, I still have it :) (just not in my computer) | 07:47 |
| bullgard4 | Fryguy--: I will try. | 07:47 |
| Fryguy-- | lf_ar: general mp? | 07:47 |
| lf_ar | password | 07:47 |
| lf_ar | ubuntu | 07:47 |
| ironporcupine | i have skype | 07:47 |
| guest2342 | ok, i still cant get the ntfs config tools. how do i make my ntfs writable? | 07:47 |
| slavi1 | xtknight: that's why when I upgraded, I bought nVidia :) | 07:47 |
| mayankjain | (notice) This nickname is registered. Please choose a different nickname, or identify via /msg NickServ identify <password>. | 07:47 |
| tj83 | akuma55, vsftp is (in my opinion) better | 07:47 |
| ironporcupine | i am too new to this user system | 07:47 |
| mayankjain | how to change my nic name | 07:47 |
| Fryguy-- | guest2342: what version of ubuntu are you using? | 07:47 |
| xtknight | slavi1, this is why ive got an nvidia next to me as well. but i boght radeon hd since the radeonhd project is officially funded and going well | 07:47 |
| ironporcupine | i just dont understand it | 07:47 |
| guest2342 | 7.04 | 07:47 |
| Starnestommy | mayankjain: /nick new-nickname | 07:47 |
| LOWER_CASE | For an Appointment Manager, can anyone recommend the "Lightning" add-on? (for Thunderbird which I already use) | 07:47 |
| xtknight | slavi1, once it drives me over the edge the nvidia will be going in temporarily hehe | 07:48 |
| mayankjain | ok | 07:48 |
| slavi1 | xtknight: I am enthusiastic for it but "I'll believe it when I see it" :P | 07:48 |
| Fryguy-- | lf_ar: type "passwd" in a terminal | 07:48 |
| ironporcupine | i give up | 07:48 |
| Jcink | ironporcupine um. well, all you need to do is pretty much sign up for an account at skype and then login with it, its really not different from a messenger. | 07:48 |
| guest2342 | fryguy--: i'm using 7.04 | 07:48 |
| lf_ar | ok Fryguy-- thx! | 07:48 |
| mayankjain | but why I m not connected to this chatl | 07:48 |
| mayankjain | through pidgin | 07:48 |
| slavi1 | mayankjain: /nick nickname | 07:48 |
| Dethnull | is there anything i should know/read before i try to install ubuntu 8 on a laptop? | 07:48 |
| gsevil | do you know how to suspend in ubuntu 8.04? | 07:48 |
| Fryguy-- | guest2342: you should upgrade, all newer versions of ubuntu support read/write to ntfs without any effort | 07:48 |
| xtknight | slavi1, i was thinking of trying to make a tuner app for my card to bypass mythtv since ive had nothing but buggy experiences with it. i havent even found anything other than mythtv that can autotune or use my card... | 07:48 |
| ironporcupine | but how do i get to the different chat rooms? | 07:48 |
| guest2342 | aghh | 07:49 |
| Jcink | Roll over their username | 07:49 |
| guest2342 | cant i do it with this one? | 07:49 |
| Fryguy-- | ironporcupine: /j #newroomnamehere | 07:49 |
| Jcink | and there is a little icon | 07:49 |
| xtknight | slavi1, haupauge hvr 1800, actually the windows software isnt that great either | 07:49 |
| Jcink | oh | 07:49 |
| Fryguy-- | guest2342: you probably can, but your operating system is over a year old, you should upgrade anyway | 07:49 |
| slavi1 | xtknight: that would be nice ... are you going to write it in python? :P | 07:49 |
| Dethnull | antying i need to know about installing ubuntu on a laptop? | 07:49 |
| Jcink | ironporcupine, do you mean in skype, or on IRC | 07:49 |
| Dethnull | bwefore i do it | 07:49 |
| Fryguy-- | Dethnull: make sure you know what driver you need for your wireless card | 07:49 |
| guest2342 | lol im actually using winxp | 07:49 |
| Whtiger | So, does anyone know why scp would hang on transfering anything larger than about 1K? | 07:49 |
| ironporcupine | skype | 07:49 |
| slavi1 | Dethnull: don't count on wireless working ... | 07:49 |
| guest2342 | and i need to get rid of a dll | 07:49 |
| xtknight | slavi1, i don't know, maybe. if i do at all, that is. more familiar with C though. but do you know of any hd tuner apps besides mythtv? | 07:49 |
| guest2342 | virtumonde virus | 07:49 |
| mayankjain | what to do to get connected to this chat | 07:49 |
| slavi1 | xtknight: nope | 07:50 |
| Dethnull | still problem with using the wireless for wifi? | 07:50 |
| guest2342 | thought id be able to get rid of it with linux | 07:50 |
| guest2342 | and now it can't write.. | 07:50 |
| Dethnull | thought they got that working | 07:50 |
| slavi1 | xtknight: you should learn Perl :) | 07:50 |
| merula | Whtiger, I'm not exactly sure -- have you checked your firewall settings? is the rest of your net working properly? | 07:50 |
| Fryguy-- | mayankjain: type /j #ubuntu | 07:50 |
| slavi1 | shouldn't there be a small util in Apps -> System Tools with like 2 check boxes? | 07:50 |
| Jcink | ironporcupine ok if you roll over someones username there is a little blue button with a speech balloon | 07:50 |
| mayankjain1 | test | 07:50 |
| Jcink | ironporcupine, click that and it starts a chat | 07:50 |
| mayankjain1 | g8t | 07:51 |
| xtknight | slavi1, i am not into scripted languages as much i guess | 07:51 |
| pwuertz | Whtiger: sounds like broken NAT routing to me | 07:51 |
| slavi1 | :D | 07:51 |
| mayankjain1 | I am connected | 07:51 |
| Whtiger | merula: yeah, everything else seems to work fine. I'm connected to the server via ssh right now. I can transfer tiny files fine. | 07:51 |
| mayankjain1 | thanks | 07:51 |
| mayankjain1 | :) | 07:51 |
| Dethnull | so basicly just check to see what driver im going to need for my wireless card and thats pretty much it | 07:51 |
| [gnubie] | anyone here able to make their bcm4318 chipset work on ubuntu 8.04 lts? i tried using b43 and ndiswrapper but both doesn't work.. :( | 07:51 |
| === hc is now known as hischild | ||
| Fryguy-- | Dethnull: sure | 07:51 |
| Whtiger | pwuertz: care to elaborate? | 07:51 |
| ironporcupine | ok, thanks | 07:51 |
| pwuertz | Whtiger: you know what NAT is? | 07:51 |
| Whtiger | pwuertz: Network Address Translation | 07:51 |
| merula | Whtiger, IIRC, scp uses a different port than ssh - are you sure the server is accepting scp connections too? | 07:51 |
| Fryguy-- | merula: it doesn't | 07:52 |
| merula | aw damn. | 07:52 |
| slavi1 | use sftp | 07:52 |
| pwuertz | Whtiger: ok.... is there a router doing NAT anywhere between you and this server? | 07:52 |
| Fryguy-- | sftp is the same as scp | 07:52 |
| slavi1 | hmm | 07:52 |
| Gazingson | okay okay | 07:52 |
| Fryguy-- | same protocol same everything, you will run into the same issue | 07:52 |
| slavi1 | then why wouldn't it work? | 07:52 |
| Gazingson | so i got part one done | 07:52 |
| Gazingson | i download the program | 07:52 |
| LSD|Ninja | I was about to say, I've never had to forward more than port 22 toget the whole ssh suite working :P | 07:52 |
| Gazingson | now completely lost | 07:52 |
| xtknight | Whtiger, network driver problem? | 07:52 |
| merula | Whtiger, sorry -- It's the blind leading the blind on this one, Whtiger -- Fry knows what he's talking about. | 07:52 |
| Fryguy-- | merula: no i don't | 07:52 |
| Whtiger | pwuertz: yeah | 07:53 |
| xtknight | Whtiger, check dmesg, enable debug options for the network module you are using | 07:53 |
| slavi1 | if you can browse dirs and such, then there shouldn't be a problem, unless there is a switch or something that cuts the transfer off | 07:53 |
| xtknight | and try disabling some of the special network options like tcp offloading ,etc,etc | 07:53 |
| merula | Fryguy--, haha, and yet you're correcting us. I'd say that counts as being knowledgeable. ^_^ | 07:53 |
| slavi1 | Gazingson: which line in the wiki howto are you stuck on? | 07:53 |
| mayankjain1 | I have one query | 07:54 |
| mayankjain1 | how can I install gcc from cd ? | 07:54 |
| Gazingson | slavil here is the link | 07:54 |
| Gazingson | https://help.ubuntu.com/community/WifiDocs/Device/RealtekRTL8187b | 07:54 |
| Fryguy-- | bullgard4: http://www.mjmwired.net/kernel/Documentation/DocBook/libata.tmpl | 07:54 |
| slavi1 | mayankjain1: queries need to be take to MySQL/PosgreSQL | 07:54 |
| Gazingson | stuck on part after download | 07:54 |
| xtknight | mayankjain, if you have access to the internet, type sudo apt-get install build-essential | 07:54 |
| mayankjain1 | :) | 07:54 |
| xtknight | gcc is not included on the cd by default | 07:54 |
| Jcink | I have a quick question, someone just installed hardy... they're having issues with flash that I never did. first the sound didn't work, and I had him do this : http://mikewilliamson.wordpress.com/2008/05/06/flash-sound-in-ubuntu-hardy-heron/ now it works, but he complains he has to activate flash objects... something tells me he is not using flash plugin nonfree... is that the problem? if so, what do i tell him to remove. | 07:54 |
| mayankjain1 | my net is too slow :( | 07:54 |
| mayankjain1 | at home | 07:54 |
| Fryguy-- | merula: i don't really know anything abou tlinux | 07:54 |
| slavi1 | Gazingson: did you do "sudo apt-get install patch" ??? | 07:55 |
| tj83 | *****attention all you regulars, you linux masters, you individuals devoting your time to help others****** on the subject of realtek wireless chipsets will you please use !realtek for individuals seeking this help. also note that lspci does not list the rtl8187 8189 chipsets but is rather usb based. so lsusb appropriately. **** thanks | 07:55 |
| xtknight | mayankjain, oh, so you need gcc huh? | 07:55 |
| pwuertz | Whtiger: when you do NAT, the router adds some additional bytes of overhead to the routed packages... this might result in packages that are above some threshold of your ISP's routers | 07:55 |
| Gazingson | not sure at all | 07:55 |
| Gazingson | how i would even do that | 07:55 |
| slavi1 | build-essential is on the cd | 07:55 |
| mayankjain1 | can I download it and take it on my pen and install it | 07:55 |
| slavi1 | Gazingson: open a terminal | 07:55 |
| pwuertz | Whtiger: so if your packets are too big.. your ISP throws them away | 07:55 |
| xtknight | hmmm | 07:55 |
| tj83 | Gazingson, pm me | 07:55 |
| slavi1 | apps -> accessories -> terminal | 07:55 |
| merula | Jcink, I would see if you can install the latest version of adobe's flash plugin | 07:55 |
| pwuertz | Whtiger: that limit is around 1.4kb | 07:55 |
| leemajors | is there also a quicksilver replacement? | 07:55 |
| xtknight | mayankjain, ya you'd need all the dependencies and stuff, might be somewhat difficult | 07:55 |
| slavi1 | and now I hand you off to the person who wrote the guide :) | 07:55 |
| Fryguy-- | pwuertz: actually it's 1500 | 07:55 |
| Fryguy-- | bytes | 07:56 |
| pwuertz | Fryguy--: thanks ;) | 07:56 |
| slavi1 | build-essential is on the cd | 07:56 |
| Jcink | merula, I think he did, but firefox isn't picking it up, i think it's not using the nonfree one.. | 07:56 |
| mayankjain1 | I can download | 07:56 |
| Whtiger | pwuertz: I can download larger files fine, just uploading | 07:56 |
| mayankjain1 | from here | 07:56 |
| merula | Jcink, the only problem would be if he's using a 64-bit version of hardy. Otherwise, you could set up flash to autoplay. | 07:56 |
| mayankjain1 | can I know the dependency ? | 07:56 |
| slavi1 | xtknight: build-essential is on the cd | 07:56 |
| pen | anyone here know about xvkbd? | 07:56 |
| pwuertz | Whtiger, Fryguy--: but you usually choose something below so you won't hit the threshold | 07:56 |
| tj83 | Gazingson, its 3am here.. my bed time was like 6 hours ago LOL.. PM me and i will give you 30 min and you will have wireless. | 07:56 |
| pen | what is the key for left? | 07:56 |
| slavi1 | mayankjain1: build-essential is on the cd | 07:56 |
| pen | the arrow left | 07:56 |
| Fryguy-- | pwuertz: no | 07:56 |
| mayankjain1 | ok | 07:57 |
| Jcink | merula, so you're saying that because he has to click to play, he's always got to click? thats a side effect of 64 bit? ugh. | 07:57 |
| Fryguy-- | pwuertz: you use networking software that works correctly and you set the MTU to 1500 | 07:57 |
| xtknight | slavi1, oh i didnt know that | 07:57 |
| mayankjain1 | is there something like pkd_add | 07:57 |
| Fryguy-- | Jcink: no it's not | 07:57 |
| === bibo is now known as shatong | ||
| mayankjain1 | on ubantu ? | 07:57 |
| Fryguy-- | Jcink: flash works fine in 64-bit | 07:57 |
| wers | how do I install a .run file | 07:57 |
| wers | ? | 07:57 |
| Fryguy-- | mayankjain1: apt-get | 07:57 |
| pwuertz | Whtiger: yes.. because the packets going out from your system behind the NAT are enlarged and thrown away | 07:57 |
| shatong | is Virtualbox okay to use now in hardy heron? | 07:57 |
| Fryguy-- | wers: ./nameoffile.run | 07:57 |
| Fryguy-- | shatong: sure | 07:57 |
| pen | anyone here know about xvkbd? | 07:57 |
| pen | what is the key for left? | 07:57 |
| xtknight | virtualbox is fine | 07:57 |
| merula | Jcink, hmm... it might not have moved the plugin to the correct location. Check the install instructions and redo the installation. -- What I meant by "64-bit having issues" is that flashplayer 9 has issues auto-installing on 64-bit ubuntu period. | 07:57 |
| xtknight | wers, type chmod +x ./file.run , and then ./file.run | 07:58 |
| mayankjain1 | apt-get install from net | 07:58 |
| pwuertz | Whtiger, Fryguy--: yep, so we just need to find out why Whtigers router is not doing MTU clamping | 07:58 |
| nickolaus_ | Is there a search app for ubuntu that allows me to search for image files? | 07:58 |
| mayankjain1 | right? | 07:58 |
| shatong | Fryguy-- : the last time i used Virtualbox in hardy it can't find the modules it needs so I compiled virtualbox from source and it messed up my ubuntu system | 07:58 |
| Fryguy-- | mayankjain1: apt-get installs from wherever you have it configured to install from | 07:58 |
| Syntux | mayankjain1, right | 07:58 |
| xtknight | mayankjain, not if you enable apt-cdrom entries in /etc/apt/sources.list and run sudo apt-get update thereafter | 07:58 |
| slavi1 | mtu for dsl is like 1486, no? | 07:58 |
| Fryguy-- | mayankjain1: see /etc/apt/sources.list | 07:58 |
| wers | ooh. thanks xtknight. what is chmod for? | 07:58 |
| Fryguy-- | slavi1: for pppoe it is | 07:58 |
| xtknight | wers this gives you executable permissions for the file | 07:58 |
| slavi1 | wers: man chmod | 07:59 |
| mayankjain1 | ok.. | 07:59 |
| berkelep | how to upgrade from gutsy to hardy? | 07:59 |
| xtknight | wers not every user can execute certain files, it is a security thing | 07:59 |
| merula | So, I'm trying to change out my icons in Gnome on Hardy. Any help? I have no idea how to swap them out. | 07:59 |
| xtknight | merula, flash 9 used to have issues with 64-bit. Hardy Heron makes these issues transparent | 07:59 |
| nickolaus_ | Is there a search app for ubuntu that allows me to search for image files? | 07:59 |
| wers | oh yah. thanks xtknight | 07:59 |
| Fryguy-- | berkelep: http://www.forwardyouth.com/ubuntu/upgrade-from-gutsy-to-hardy/ | 07:59 |
| mayankjain1 | what is the compete command fro apkt-get | 07:59 |
| slavi1 | berkelep: the update applet should tell you | 07:59 |
| Fryguy-- | nickolaus_: try tracker | 07:59 |
| Jcink | merula and Fryguy-- , he somehow had flashblock installed... just deleted it. sorry to bother you guys when it was that stupid. thanks anyway | 07:59 |
| mayankjain1 | apt-get install <pkg_name > | 07:59 |
| xtknight | mayankjain, sudo apt-get install build-essential ? | 07:59 |
| berkelep | Fryguy--: thanks. | 07:59 |
| Fryguy-- | mayankjain1: sudo apt-get install build-essential | 07:59 |
| slavi1 | mayankjain1: sudo apt-get install build-essential | 07:59 |
| mayankjain1 | ok. | 08:00 |
| merula | xtknight, then explain how I've got adobe flash 9 and it refuses to load onto my 64-bit firefox. | 08:00 |
| xtknight | merula, i am not sure. | 08:00 |
| kantor | hi, why are the md5sums from Ubuntu 8.04 CD ISO and 8.04.1 the same ?? | 08:00 |
| Fryguy-- | merula: no idea, it works fine for most people | 08:00 |
| merula | Jcink, No prob man. It's all good. | 08:00 |
| Whtiger | pwuertz: thank you! The MTU default was too low | 08:00 |
| ubunubi | nickolaus_: locate *.jpg | 08:00 |
| xtknight | merula, it worked for my 64bit, run firefox from the console and see if there's errors? | 08:00 |
| xtknight | merula, and are you using flash from the repositoriies? | 08:00 |
| pwuertz | Whtiger: too low? I assumed it was too high ;) | 08:01 |
| kantor | Ubuntu 8.04 and 8.04.1 is exactly the same ? ? | 08:01 |
| pwuertz | Whtiger: whatever works for you ;) | 08:01 |
| merula | Fryguy-- && xtknight, I have not installed it from the repositories. What's the package name? | 08:01 |
| Fryguy-- | kantor: pretty much | 08:01 |
| xtknight | kantor, 8.04.1 is a rollup of updates | 08:01 |
| Fryguy-- | merula: flashplugin-nonefree or something | 08:01 |
| xtknight | that you can get from installing 7.04 | 08:01 |
| xtknight | 8.04* | 08:01 |
| Whtiger | pwuertz: well, then maybe it was too high, but I set it to 1500 and it works now | 08:01 |
| Whtiger | which was the top of the range | 08:01 |
| pwuertz | Whtiger: great! | 08:01 |
| Flannel | kantor: 8.04.1 only exists separately as ISOs, installed systems are identical once you update | 08:02 |
| xtknight | merula, yup flashplugin-nonfree | 08:02 |
| Whtiger | pwuertz: either way, thanks for pointing me in the right direction =) | 08:02 |
| kantor | because I checked the md5sums and are the same, that means that the ISO's are the same | 08:02 |
| Flannel | kantor: Where did you get your ISOs? | 08:02 |
| merula | Fryguy--, "already the newest version." -- Refuses to hook into my version of firefox it seems. I can't do anything on youtube. (I'm not really missing it, but sometimes the g/f sends me video links... >.> ) | 08:02 |
| neil_d | it would be handy if a 'update' like 8.04.1 was done every few months. | 08:02 |
| Flannel | neil_d: Six months | 08:02 |
| Fryguy-- | neil_d: every april and october | 08:03 |
| kantor | from the main server http://releases.ubuntu.com/ Flannel | 08:03 |
| Flannel | Fryguy--: No, July and January | 08:03 |
| Flannel | kantor: What md5s do you have? | 08:03 |
| kantor | Flannel, I feel a little strange to se that 8.04 and 8.04.1 is exactly binary equal . . . | 08:03 |
| nickolaus_ | ubunubi nope. | 08:03 |
| ubunubi | nickolaus_: what type of pictures are you trying to find | 08:03 |
| Fryguy-- | Flannel: april and october, hence why the version number is (last number of year of relese) dot (month of release), and they are always .04 and .10 | 08:04 |
| kantor | Flannel, http://releases.ubuntu.com/8.04.1/MD5SUMS and http://releases.ubuntu.com/8.04/MD5SUMS | 08:04 |
| Fryguy-- | Flannel: for the past 2 years at least | 08:04 |
| Flannel | Fryguy--: No, those are full releases. Point releases for LTS are July (this one) and six months from now, so January | 08:04 |
| jneves | anyone having problems with pidgin vs msn? Mine stopped connecting last week (for at least 5 days now) | 08:04 |

| Starnestommy | eep. | 08:06 |
| ompaul | Done | 08:06 |
| Flannel | kantor: You'll notice that those are both 8.04.1 ISOs (check the filename). I'm not sure you can get 8.04 anymore on the officials | 08:06 |
| neil_d | quite a few there | 08:06 |
| ariqs | is there an open source fireworks screensaver backpage for ubuntu? for july 4th and all | 08:06 |
| wers | i got this "Consider setting TMPDIR to a directory with more free space." | 08:06 |
| ariqs | backpage - package. | 08:06 |
| wers | how do I do that? | 08:06 |
| Fryguy-- | wers: export TMPDIR=/location/of/a/huge/drive | 08:07 |
| ompaul | wers, you need a partition with space on it | 08:07 |
| Madpilot | ariqs, there is a fireworks screensaver in Ubuntu already - check the Screensaver setup | 08:08 |
| berkelep | attempting to upgrade from gutsy to hardy using sudo apt-get dist-upgrade. this only upgrades to the latest release of gutsy. suggestions? | 08:08 |
| wers | Fryguy--, so I do TMPDIR=hda1? | 08:08 |
| ompaul | !update | berkelep | 08:08 |
| ubottu | berkelep: For upgrading, see the instructions at https://help.ubuntu.com/community/UpgradeNotes | 08:08 |
| Fryguy-- | wers: no, it has to be a mount location | 08:08 |
| xtknight | wers, you have to mount hda1 to a directory,. and then point it to the directory to which you mounted hda1 | 08:08 |
| Fryguy-- | wers: do you have /tmp mounted as a separate partition | 08:08 |
| Fryguy-- | berkelep: what is wrong with the link i gave you | 08:09 |
| wers | Fryguy--, so TMDIR=/home? | 08:09 |
| ompaul | wers, pastebin /etc/fstab and then talk about it | 08:09 |
| ompaul | !pastebin | wers | 08:09 |
| ubottu | wers: 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) | 08:09 |
| ariqs | <Madpilot>: what is it called? I don't see it | 08:09 |
| nutmeg_ | I'm looking to get a 3D card for my machine (running ubuntu 8.04 + latest updates from apt-get). Is there anything I should know about adding hardware to my system? Will it automagically be detected, configured and "just work" or will I need to explicitly install drivers? | 08:09 |
| berkelep | Fryguy--: installing on a remote server w/out gui interface. | 08:09 |
| jneves | nutmeg_: depends on the card you buy | 08:10 |
| Fryguy-- | nutmeg_: if you get nvidia, and not a 9000 series, you will be prompted to install a driver, but the process should be painless | 08:10 |
| Madpilot | arqis, Skyrocket | 08:10 |
| Fryguy-- | berkelep: so edit sources.list to point to hardy, sudo apt-get update and sudo apt-get dist-upgrade | 08:10 |
| ariqs | ah, thanks. I went by that cause it starts out with no fireworks | 08:11 |
| kantor | Flannel, yes you've right in the 8.04 folder are still 8.04.1 ISO's | 08:11 |

| xtknight | JbCrash, openoffice impress | 08:12 |
| Madpilot | ariqs, Skyrocket is kind of interesting - flight sim + fireworks :) | 08:12 |
| nutmeg_ | If I'm prompted to install a driver, where do I get it? Do nVidia provide ubuntu / generic linux drivers for their cards? | 08:13 |
| nutmeg_ | ... in the box | 08:13 |
| Fryguy-- | nutmeg_: it's in ubuntu, the process will be automatic | 08:13 |

| Fryguy-- | mkdir /home/allan/tmp && export TMPDIR=/home/allan/tmp | 08:15 |
| rand0m | if i "sudo apt-get install xubuntu-desktop" will that overwrite my current desktop setup like panels & what not, or just add more stuff to menus & change the window manager ? | 08:15 |

| ompaul | wers, as Fryguy-- said | 08:16 |
| orbisvicis | where is the apache directive that aliases phpmyadmin ? | 08:16 |
| orbisvicis | if installed from synaptic | 08:16 |

| jscinoz | Ubuntu's grub-pc seems to have a too large kernel.img, and thus when i try to make core.img wiht the modules needed to boot when /boot is on lvm-on-raid, its bigger than the 32k limit | 08:22 |

| Fryguy-- | RudyValencia: no idea, sorry | 08:23 |
| RudyValencia | Hm. | 08:23 |
| jscinoz | merula, on other distro's the kernel.img is smaller so you can fit pc + lvm + raid + biosdisk + ext2 in <32k, but with ubuntu's kernel.img it comes to 34k and cant fit in the MBR >_< | 08:23 |

| Mayank | is it port based ? | 08:32 |
| Fryguy-- | Dethnull: and most bioses have a load fail safe defaults | 08:32 |
| Dethnull | there is a pass on the bios | 08:32 |
| Fryguy-- | Dethnull: then hit up google for using the debug command in windows to reset the bios | 08:32 |

| Mayank | for identifying the traffic what ubuntu do | 08:33 |
| jacovt | I am trying to dual boot Ubuntu 8.04 with Windows XP. Problem is that the Ubuntu installer does not seem to recognize that I have existing partitions on my disk, and the options I get when running the partitioner is only to use the full disk, or manually create new partitions. I do have a XP partition, and a FreeBSD partition on the drive, and I would like to replace this FreeBSD partition with an Ubuntu installation. Any ideas? | 08:33 |
| nutmeg_ | Sorry Fryguy, my bad. Saw this : "<akuma55> | <Fryguy--> sudo /mount /dev/sda1 /media/store" and got confused. | 08:33 |
| Fryguy-- | sonicjosh: how did you i nstall it? as far as I know it doesn't prompt for a password | 08:33 |
| Mayank | is it port based | 08:33 |
| Tul|y | jacovt, just use the wubi installer | 08:33 |
| sonicjosh | Fryguy--: add/remove | 08:34 |
| Mayank | Fryguy | 08:34 |
| Mayank | can you tell me | 08:34 |
| Fryguy-- | Mayank: what is identifying the traffic? different applications do different things, some rely on ports, some do stateful packet inspection, some do stateless packet instruction | 08:34 |
| jacovt | Tul|y: That was my next option, but I would really like to know the cause of this problem... :) | 08:34 |
| Rapha | the problam about ubuntu 8.04 dont find my CD-ROM driver and I dont install | 08:34 |
| Fryguy-- | sonicjosh: no idea why it's prompting you for a password | 08:34 |
| Mayank | what is stateful packet inspection | 08:34 |
| Fryguy-- | jacovt: try using gparted livecd to set up the partitions before booting ubuntu | 08:35 |
| Fryguy-- | Mayank: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Stateful_firewall | 08:35 |
| Tul|y | jacovt, i'd say best bet is to remove the freebsd partition with another prog like partition magic ect. then either use wubi or install it manually yourself | 08:35 |
| jacovt | Fryguy--: You mean, create and actualy ext3 partition beforehand? :) | 08:35 |
| [gnubie] | hello all.. i have a running ubuntu 8.04 lts.. i remember that there is a way to OEM ubuntu installation.. how can i access it from my desktop to create my customized ubuntu? | 08:35 |

| Mayank | identifying traffic means to know weather packet coming belongs to which application | 08:36 |
| Fryguy-- | [gnubie]: it's in the f4 menu i think | 08:36 |
| pan__ | what is dccchat? | 08:36 |

| ubunubi | is it possible to use "ln" to create something that works like an NTFS junction for directories? | 08:39 |
| Fryguy-- | ubunubi: what is an ntfs junction | 08:39 |
| Tul|y | any1 know why my wg511t wont connect to my router, i installed the new madwifi drivers 2ce now, still nothing, everything checks out but yet i cant connect, anyone had this issue before or know a solution? | 08:40 |
| Fryguy-- | Tul|y: try without any security enabled? | 08:40 |
| Tul|y | Fryguy--, i'll do it now | 08:41 |
| ubunubi | Fryguy--: a special entry into the file table that makes a directory reference a directory somewhere else on the disk, transparently (aka, if you have a junction between c:\DirectoryA and d:\directoryB..and a program is set to save data to DirectoryA, the data is really saved in DirectoryB) | 08:41 |
| Fryguy-- | ubunubi: yes, that's what ln does | 08:41 |
| ubunubi | fryguy:: when i use it it creates a file link instead of replacing the directory itself | 08:42 |
| Fryguy-- | ubunubi: if you add a file into the symblink it does into the target directory | 08:42 |
| Fryguy-- | which is exactly what a junction is from the definition you just gave, what am i missing | 08:42 |
| ubunubi | fryguy:: i need the directory the symlink is in, to be the symlink, instead of a file | 08:43 |
| Fryguy-- | oh | 08:43 |
| Fryguy-- | you'll have to remove the directory and recreate it with a symlink | 08:43 |

| Ryuho | i should install that, thanks | 10:15 |
| livingdaylight | Juozapas: it was all working before without having to install libflashsupport | 10:16 |
| Ronald | Juozapas: to have FF crash every 3rth flash loaded | 10:16 |
| Fryguy-- | livingdaylight: you'll have to look around for documentation on enabling alsa-oss for another browser | 10:16 |
| Ronald | flash doesn't get along with pulseaudio | 10:17 |
| livingdaylight | Fryguy--: but it was never an issue before. Either in Firefox or Epiphany... have we installed updates in the last couple days that have borked youtube which worked fine before? | 10:17 |
| compu73rg33k | I installed firefox32, but the icon isn't associated with the program. Is there any way to associate the firefox logo with the program when it's in the applications list and in window list | 10:17 |
| Juozapas | my problem come with hardy. when i played amarok ant some flash (youtube) via ff | 10:17 |
| Fryguy-- | livingdaylight: maybe, i don't know | 10:17 |
| livingdaylight | Juozapas: yes, but this is after a fresh reboot even.... | 10:17 |
| Juozapas | yeah... i just can recommend try that | 10:18 |
| Ryuho | i forgot what esd does | 10:18 |
| Ryuho | but it's suppose to help with audio problems | 10:18 |
| Peddy | can anyone tell me how /etc/acpi/resume.d scripts work? They aren't executed after resuming for some reason. Thanks. | 10:18 |
| Fryguy-- | Ryuho: esd is a software sound mixer, part of the enlightenment desktop that was ported to other desktops because of it's usability, it has been widely deprecated with the addition of dmix to alsa | 10:19 |
| Fryguy-- | Ryuho: it stands for enlightenment sound daemon | 10:19 |
| Ryuho | oic.. since i have alsa.. it's kinda useless huh | 10:19 |
| bullgard4 | [Hardy] I have got a "SC | 10:19 |
| Xerxes | I had a question about multicore chips. I run a java client and in the task manager it often takes up 50% and stops, I assume it's maxing one of the cores, how do I allocate more CPU speed to my java program? | 10:20 |
| bullgard4 | [Hardy] I have got a "SCSI low-level driver for Intel PIIX/ICH ATA controllers". What does 'PIIX/ICH' stand for? | 10:20 |
| Ronald | Xerxes: cannot | 10:20 |
| Fryguy-- | Xerxes: if the applicaton you are running is single threaded, then it can only use 1 processor | 10:20 |
| Fryguy-- | Xerxes: if the application is able to use more than 1 processor, then it will | 10:20 |
| livingdaylight | is Ubuntu really ready for the Desktop in 2008? | 10:21 |
| Xerxes | that sucks, I need to buy a single core opteron then :/ | 10:21 |
| Fryguy-- | livingdaylight: probably not | 10:21 |
| livingdaylight | can't even install ubuntu and watch youtube | 10:21 |
| Fryguy-- | livingdaylight: most people can | 10:21 |
| dr_Willis | livingdaylight, it works better on my laptop then windows does. | 10:21 |
| Juozapas | it works better everywhere z] | 10:21 |
| livingdaylight | Fryguy--: including myself a day ago, but its borked for no reason at all | 10:21 |
| livingdaylight | dr_Willis: you're just saying that | 10:22 |
| Fryguy-- | livingdaylight: and i told you how to fix it, so what is the problem? | 10:22 |
| dr_Willis | livingdaylight, flash issues are the not the fault of Ubuntu. Since ubntu has no controll over the flash code. | 10:22 |
| Ronald | Fryguy--: it should be working out of the box, thats "desktop ready" | 10:22 |
| livingdaylight | dr_Willis: same difference; either way ubuntu is not ready if i can't watch youtube... it really shouldnt be a big deal and it was working only yesterday. so what happened? | 10:22 |
| Fryguy-- | Ronald: and like i said, it's probably not desktop ready | 10:22 |
| livingdaylight | i thought linux was 'stable'? | 10:23 |
| livingdaylight | Fryguy--: i use alsa | 10:23 |
| Fryguy-- | livingdaylight: it is | 10:23 |
| Fryguy-- | livingdaylight: and flash uses oss | 10:23 |
| bazhang | livingdaylight, it is a problem with adobe not linux | 10:23 |
| dr_Willis | livingdaylight, no idea. go ask the flash guys. ask them where flash for my 64bit linux is at while you are at it. | 10:23 |
| Ronald | bazhang: wrong. its the users problem, he wants youtube | 10:23 |
| Fryguy-- | dr_Willis: nswrapper | 10:23 |
| Ronald | and gutsy had no problem, so its a regression | 10:23 |
| dr_Willis | I wonder when flash became a 'critical' need. | 10:23 |
| bazhang | indeed. | 10:24 |
| Tux2K81 | hello , I've installed FF3 from the mozzile website (not repositories).. in that case, how do I install any plugins??? | 10:24 |
| Ronald | dr_Willis: it is in my book of desktop readyness ;) | 10:24 |
| livingdaylight | dr_Willis: i would but it was working fine a day ago. I never had this problem in gutsy which was a more cutting edge release. Hardy is supposed to be hardy but its flakey and falling apart every other day... stop blaming everyone else | 10:24 |
| Fryguy-- | Tux2K81: http://addons.mozilla.org/ | 10:24 |
| bazhang | livingdaylight, this getting offtopic. | 10:25 |
| Fryguy-- | livingdaylight: we already told you how to fix the problem. is there something else we can help you with | 10:25 |
| Tux2K81 | Fryguy--: but the quicktime plug-ins arent there , so for the mearntime I cant see any apple trailers | 10:25 |
| livingdaylight | Fryguy--: what? alsa-oss? | 10:25 |
| dr_Willis | livingdaylight, sure.. like the last 'icq' quit working with Pidgin issue... that was our fault. goodbye this is over. | 10:25 |
| Fryguy-- | livingdaylight: yes | 10:25 |
| Fryguy-- | dr_Willis: actually that was icqs fault, they changed their protocol and broke every single 3rd party client, linux, mac, windows, solaris, bsd, whatever | 10:26 |
| livingdaylight | Fryguy--: ok, please tell me again what do i do with alsa-oss to fix it.. i've gone into System>preferece>Sound and changed everythingto alsa ages ago... things were working and have stopped working since this morning... what do i do, please? | 10:26 |
| dr_Willis | Fryguy--, :) yes. thats the point. | 10:26 |
| Fryguy-- | livingdaylight: you install alsa-oss, and add FIREFOX_DSP=aoss to /etc/firefox-3/firefoxrc (you have to create the file, it won't exist) | 10:27 |

| Fryguy-- | livingdaylight: you'll have to hit google to figure out how to enable alsa-oss for those browsers | 10:28 |
| Flannel | dew: Login Screen Setup, theres an automatic login option | 10:28 |
| livingdaylight | i'm sure i wouldn't have this issue with suse or pclos or mandriva or fedora.... | 10:28 |

| kartofelek | yeah, why to take long way | 10:36 |
| kartofelek | rand0m, you have no flash plugin | 10:36 |
| Fryguy-- | rand0m: does about:plugins work in knoqueror? and if so, does it show flash as being installed? | 10:37 |
| rand0m | kartofelek, i figured that might be the case.. I know i installed it for firefox and opera.. figured it out just be installed for konq | 10:37 |
| kartofelek | rand0m you need to find the extension in mozilla folder | 10:37 |
| kartofelek | in konq settings find the extensions tab | 10:38 |

| Sertse | tinkering with my other comp doing a min install. What is something light, yet has "system" stuff included? Currently it only has "just" a wm.. and I doubt I want to search for a package config each thing itself.. | 10:41 |
| Fryguy-- | Sertse: what? | 10:41 |
| bazhang | Sertse, you want a complete package of apps and such? | 10:41 |
| rand0m | kartofelek, hmm im not quite sure what i do in that tab | 10:41 |
| rand0m | i scanned for new plugins but it finds nothing, even when i go to the firefox folders | 10:42 |

| petar20 | does a dvd need to be mounted in order to burn it? its a blank dvd9 | 10:42 |

| definitely | anyone can help me ? | 10:43 |
| morbyte | dr_Willis: ty. im using gnome. so ... | 10:43 |
| Fryguy-- | definitely: try #conky | 10:43 |
| dr_Willis | RedWolf, one normally updates, then upgrades. | 10:43 |
| definitely | Fryguy--: everyone are sleeping in that channel ; | 10:43 |
| Fryguy-- | nick_server: anything in /var/log/messages | 10:44 |
| RedWolf | :\ I ran those but it still shows upgrades on the Update manager | 10:44 |
| arcsky | if i want to add a test.txt into my tar file monkey.tar.gz without a new package operation, how do i do that ? | 10:44 |
| dr_Willis | Conky - has a decent web site with forum/faq/examples last i looked. | 10:44 |
| nick_server | Fryguy--, not checked | 10:44 |
| dr_Willis | RedWolf, could be the update manager is confused. after you do update/upgrade.. you should be up to date | 10:44 |
| berkelep | Fryguy--: thanks for the upgrade info awhile ago. i'm receiving the error sendmail: fatal: no login name found for user ID 1100 when i try to access /etc/passwd. this poses a problem because that's where i would edit the users. suggestions? | 10:44 |
| Fryguy-- | berkelep: what are you doing and why | 10:45 |
| RedWolf | dr_Willis, How can I clea that out? | 10:45 |
| nils__ | ver tsirc.dyn.pl | 10:45 |
| Sertse | Well I'm "just" on xorg and icewm atm on my other comp. Which doesn't really have anything to edit mouse/power/network etc etc as you know. unlike a normal install which gives you everything in system-prefs/administration. | 10:45 |
| dr_Willis | RedWolf, no idea. I normally disable that annoying nag icon. I dont need it to remind me. I update/upgrade once a week anyway. | 10:45 |
| berkelep | trying to fix the things webmin screwed up i.e., remove users that have the same user ids | 10:45 |
| Fryguy-- | Sertse: you can use the command line tools and manual config editing to set all of that if you want | 10:45 |
| RedWolf | rofl okay so how can I disable th enag icon | 10:45 |
| bazhang | Sertse, then you might want something that is configured out of the box like fluxbuntu or xubuntu, then switch the wm | 10:46 |
| Fryguy-- | you can't have a minimal install with a full feature configuration interface. Those are contradicting goals | 10:46 |

I am trying to install ubuntu using the wubi(windows based ubuntu installer), entering my password, size 8 gb and wich harddrive i want it installed on. but when i start the installation it cant download something and the installation stops.. can someone please help me out | 10:46 |
| Fryguy-- | berkelep: you shouldn't be editing /etc/passwd manually unless you know what you are doing | 10:46 |
| bazhang | bumblebee, you get the busybox login? | 10:46 |
| Fryguy-- | deja vu | 10:47 |
| Sertse | haha, thought that'll be whereit ends up. thanks :) | 10:47 |
| bazhang | indeed. | 10:47 |
| bumblebee | bazhang is that where i set my pw etc? | 10:47 |
| dr_Willis | bumblebee, wubi is really not reccomended. (and i dont use it) but you may want to try to defrag/scandisk the windows drive. then try the installer again | 10:48 |
| dr_Willis | bumblebee, and you do have 8gb of free space right? | 10:48 |
| bazhang | bumblebee, no; that means the hdd did not mount and you have to do so from there-->what exact error message do you get | 10:48 |
| bumblebee | dr_Willis yes i do | 10:48 |
| berkelep | Fryguy--: the user no longer exists. not possible to delete it with userdel. i had been adding users by editing /etc/passwd and it was working fine; then i installed webmin, and it started creating users with the same ids as the existing users. now cleaning up the mess. | 10:49 |
| bumblebee | bazhang thats the strange thing, it says it got an error but doesnt say what error | 10:49 |
| Fryguy-- | berkelep: lol | 10:49 |
| bazhang | bumblebee, then you may wish to try the Dr's suggestion | 10:49 |
| Fryguy-- | berkelep: make sure you remove entries from /etc/shadow and /etc/group as well | 10:49 |
| RedWolf | is there a guide to installing Windows to run as a dual boot from an ISO instead of using a CD? | 10:49 |

| RedWolf | I'm on Ubuntu, but my job is requiring me to install windows | 10:50 |

| ubunubi | redwolf:: compile vmware server then and run it in a VM :) (or virtualbox if you prefer) | 10:50 |

| ubunubi | redwolf:: google install vmware ubuntu and pick a tutorial then (if you already have the XP ISO handy)..tell vmware to create a new VM..and instead of a physical CD drive tell it to use the ISO on your hd instead, then boot the VM..and it'll launch the install | 10:53 |

| ubottu | shaio: 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 | 10:58 |
| Chaotic_Descent | Amarok doesn't play my music either. in fact, it crashes. | 10:58 |
| Fryguy-- | Chaotic_Descent: do you have codec for mp3 installed? | 10:59 |
| hyperstream | correct me if im wrong- there used to be a gui that could look and make up perm mounting positions as well as writing it to fstab? | 10:59 |
| mjr69 | Hi, got a problem with sleep hibernate on Sony VGN S2XP with ATI Radeon 9800. Any known solutions? | 10:59 |
| Chaotic_Descent | Fryguy--: no. | 10:59 |
| btnam | Fryguy. Thank you. I think I should use another bittorrent then. | 10:59 |

| Fryguy-- | Chaotic_Descent: need a codec for mp3 playback to work | 10:59 |
| morbyte | so normally, i should have a pulseaudio daemon running to be able to use pulseaudio? oh damn i dont want to dig through all the manual configuration stuff, thats why i took ubuntu :/ | 10:59 |
| Fryguy-- | btnam: deluge might do what you need. or you can just configure your router yourself | 11:00 |
| livingdaylight | Fryguy--: well, your solution works for Firefox... thx | 11:00 |
| shaio | yeah, but it's frustrating... | 11:00 |
| livingdaylight | Fryguy--: everytime i wanna watch a youtube i get to open Firefox. I still don't understand why it suddenly stopped working in Epiphany and Opera | 11:00 |
| Fryguy-- | livingdaylight: if you run "aoss opera" from command line opera will work too (and you can just change the shortcuts to do that instead of run opera itself) | 11:00 |
| shaio | ubuntu is on the wrong foot with hardy | 11:00 |
| Chaotic_Descent | where do I install the MP3 codec from? system tools, or is it in with the sound & video stuff? | 11:00 |
| Fryguy-- | !mp3 | 11:01 |

| Fryguy-- | shaio: there are plenty of other operating systems available if ubuntu doesn't suit you | 11:01 |
| naught101 | has anyone managed to get internet sharing going like this: 3G wireless usb modem => laptop => ethernet NIC => Wifi hub => other computers/ | 11:01 |
| Chaotic_Descent | Hrm... mp3 codec doesn't seem to be in the add/remove applications place at all... is it in the package manager? *goes on wild goose hunt* | 11:01 |
| shaio | off to slack i guess :D | 11:01 |
| Fryguy-- | Chaotic_Descent: i just linked you to the documenation you needed.. | 11:02 |

| Xavura | thanks bud | 11:06 |
| Xavura | so | 11:06 |
| geek_inn2 | what does uid 1000,gid 100 and dmask,fmask mean | 11:06 |
| Fryguy-- | Xavura: check out man ssh for a list of other command line options | 11:06 |
| Xavura | ssh user@dom/ip -p port | 11:06 |
| Xavura | i tried ssh --h | 11:06 |
| Xavura | for help, didn't help | 11:06 |
| Xavura | Is ssh user@dom/ip -p port correct? | 11:07 |
| Fryguy-- | geek_inn2: users in the system are assigned a user id and a group id | 11:07 |

| Fryguy-- | Xavura: ssh -p user@host | 11:07 |
| Xavura | port? | 11:07 |
| Fryguy-- | yes | 11:07 |
| Xavura | where do I put the port, that's all I need to know | 11:07 |
| Fryguy-- | ssh -p port user@host | 11:07 |
| Xavura | thanks | 11:07 |
| Fryguy-- | Xavura: see man ssh for usage detalis | 11:07 |
| Xavura | I will | 11:07 |
| Xavura | But I needed to know that really QUICK, thanks | 11:08 |
| Fryguy-- | Xavura: the -p is on the 2nd line of the man documentation :/ | 11:08 |

| dacubuntu | hi | 11:12 |
| Fryguy-- | Chaotic_Descent: did you restart whatever media player you were using | 11:12 |
| dacubuntu | how do i enable write support on ipods and mac format drives? | 11:12 |
| Xavura | if I type in a terminal for example | 11:12 |
| Fryguy-- | dacubuntu: you don't | 11:12 |
| M_Cheevy | bazhang: I've read contradictory info. some say, you have to use specific palette positions, other's say you specify it in the .c file, some say in hex some say in decimal... no matter what I do, the text background stays this ugly blue | 11:12 |
| Xavura | gedit & | 11:12 |
| Xavura | then close the terminal, will my instance of gedit still be there? | 11:12 |
| geek_inn2 | yes,gid and uid but what are other fields dmask,umask,fmask | 11:12 |
| dacubuntu | frguy: cant? | 11:12 |
| Fryguy-- | Xavura: no | 11:13 |
| Xavura | Fryguy--: how do I do it then, that's what I was told | 11:13 |

| rausb0 | Xavura: only if you close the shell by typing "exit", not if you close the terminal with the [X] button | 11:13 |
| Xavura | rausb0: that's useful, Fryguy-- how do I use nohup, real quick example? | 11:13 |

| petar20 | bazhang.. I know.... because they are that good.. but im not using a bad disc.. trust me | 11:15 |
| Xavura | Fryguy--: ah I found it, nice | 11:16 |
| petar20 | bazhang: because I wouldnt want to watste a crappy cheap dye on my pioneer setups | 11:16 |

| bazhang | petar20, no, I meant as a test; to rule out other possible error vectors | 11:16 |

| petar20 | bazhang oh hmm sounds like a good idea | 11:17 |
| M_Cheevy | so has anyone managed to figure out how to set the colours of the usplash screen elements in the [theme].c file? I've used gimp to find the color indexes I need, tried entering them as hex & bin but it's really a crap shoot what colors come up. Any body got any pointers? | 11:17 |

| dr_Willis | Hmm,, the bot had a factoid or 2 on usplash | 11:17 |

| fsckbuntu | i want to redo this installation, too much bulk | 11:18 |
| Xavura | Peddy: sorry? | 11:18 |
| fsckbuntu | recommend format, reinstall server base install? | 11:18 |
| gnomefreak | fsckbuntu: stick cd in cdrom and reboot and reinstall it | 11:18 |
| Peddy | can anyone tell me how /etc/acpi/resume.d scripts work? They aren't executed after resuming for some reason. Thanks. | 11:19 |
| Fryguy-- | fsckbuntu: if that's what you want to do, go ahead and do it | 11:19 |
| petar20 | bazhang: same results, it doesnt matter, as soon as I pick a dvd9 it complains ,heres my dmesg log http://pastebin.com/m5ae7d6e4 | 11:19 |
| l815 | server install doesnt have a gui | 11:19 |
| fsckbuntu | install everything ontop, seems to be the recommend action for people trying to get away from bloat | 11:19 |
| dr_Willis | 'bloat' - another buzz word - that tends tomean very little these days. | 11:19 |
| l815 | i don't get the bloat issue, because the extra apps can easily be uninstalled | 11:19 |
| fsckbuntu | server iso text install, how many mb RAM does it use fresh install | 11:19 |
| bazhang | petar20, this is using cd/dvd creator or other | 11:19 |
| * dr_Willis wonders who installed the 'bloat' to begin with. :) | 11:19 | |
| Starnestommy | Peddy: are all of the scripts failing or just some of them? | 11:19 |
| pen | I have a question on im-switch | 11:19 |
| gnomefreak | fsckbuntu: you can get a fluxbuntu or xubuntu for a basic set of packages or you can install in server mode but you will need if you want a gui a desktop | 11:19 |

| petar20 | ubunubi how? | 11:20 |
| Fryguy-- | petar20: because it needs it | 11:20 |
| dr_Willis | geek_inn2, it does pay to read about whats going on with ntfs/vfat so you learn the fundamentals. and are not just cut/pasteing commands you have no idea about. :) | 11:20 |
| Starnestommy | Peddy: er, ignore that | 11:20 |
| bazhang | petar20, this is on a server? | 11:20 |
| ubunubi | petar20: in your fstab, on the cdrom entry, set it's option to fs to 'auto' | 11:21 |
| Starnestommy | pen: try gksudo nautilus instead of sudo nautilus | 11:21 |
| fsckbuntu | you can't just "uninstall" something that inherently installs 9000 packages in various places pointing to this and that service god knows where to begin or end | 11:21 |

| tristan_ | anyone able to help me get awn-manager working? | 11:21 |
| fsckbuntu | "fresh" is fresh | 11:21 |
| Starnestommy | Peddy: are they all marked as executable? | 11:21 |
| Fryguy-- | fsckbuntu: so then do that | 11:21 |
| bazhang | fsckbuntu, that is offtopic here. | 11:21 |
| fsckbuntu | good, eat me | 11:21 |

| spectre | hi to all,I need to modify my profile on https://launchpad.net, but I don't find how to do it,can you help me ? | 11:22 |
| Starnestommy | pen: did it work before removing gcin? | 11:22 |
| fsckbuntu | so corporate now is the website, doesnt even give you the option of previous versions | 11:22 |
| Tux2K8 | how do I uninstall FF3 which I installed directly from the mozzile site?? | 11:22 |
| fsckbuntu | force 8.04 on you | 11:22 |
| gnomefreak | fsckbuntu: join #ubuntu-offtopic | 11:22 |
| Xavura | Let's say I SSH into a server and I want to download a file and open it in an editor, is there no command I can use or do I have to screw around | 11:22 |
| ikonia | Tux2K8: remove the binaries and libraries manually | 11:22 |
| Fryguy-- | Xavura: use scp | 11:23 |
| ikonia | Xavura: wget will download a file for you | 11:23 |
| Xavura | ikonia: | 11:23 |
| tristan_ | fsckbuntuL um corporate um no, does it require me to put an amex in no! | 11:23 |
| ikonia | Xavura: yes ? | 11:23 |
| bazhang | fsckbuntu, would you like an earlier version | 11:23 |
| Tux2K8 | ikonia : you mean , to go to "where is firefox" and remove everything manually? | 11:23 |
| hyperstream | How do i add something like: /DozeDrivez/MainDump to my 'Places' or 'Computer' menu's/folders | 11:23 |
| pen | Starnestommy, I am not sure, I switch from scim to gcin then back. There was some problems with gcin so I removed it | 11:23 |
| gnomefreak | bazhang: they are there on ubuntu.com just hav eto look for it | 11:23 |
| ikonia | Tux2K8: no - I mean remove the binaries and libraries that the mozilla installed manually | 11:23 |
| Xavura | Fryguy--: what is that ikonia: that is too much messing around, I want to just do "cmd filename" and it open in editor after downloading, then when I close it reupload | 11:23 |
| fsckbuntu | even centos.org offers easy place to find older versions | 11:23 |
| petar20 | bazhang... once more it needs to support DL break | 11:23 |
| ubunubi | tux2k8:: there isn't a good way. that's why you should heed the 1000 warnings not to install FF3 directly from the mozilla website and use the repo verison instead | 11:23 |
| Xavura | I know that's basically FTP, but whatever, is it possible | 11:23 |
| pen | Starnestommy, now after removing gcin the messages appears | 11:23 |
| ikonia | Tux2K8: you've installed something outside of the package manager | 11:23 |
| Xubuntaner | can someone give me the german channelname? | 11:23 |

| petar20 | bazhang: if I wanted to i could ubrn my disc with imgburn but I want to use cli | 11:24 |
| rausb0 | Xavura: you want to look at sshfs | 11:24 |
| Starnestommy | fsckbuntu: http://old-releases.ubuntu.com/releases/ | 11:24 |
| Xubuntaner | thx | 11:24 |
| Xavura | rausb0: is there plenty of info on google or | 11:24 |
| fsckbuntu | just want a release that isn't fscked | 11:24 |
| bazhang | petar20, not sure about dl break | 11:24 |
| tristan_ | fsckbuntu: you can get the different distros from the ftp wth are you talking about | 11:24 |
| ikonia | Xavura: that doesn't exist - svn is the closest to that sort of thing | 11:24 |
| rausb0 | !info sshfs | Xavura | 11:24 |
| ubottu | xavura: sshfs (source: sshfs-fuse): filesystem client based on SSH File Transfer Protocol. In component universe, is optional. Version 1.9-1 (hardy), package size 31 kB, installed size 116 kB | 11:24 |
| gnomefreak | fsckbuntu: 8.04 is fine if you want less bloat dont use kde or gnome | 11:24 |
| jonaskoe1ker | hi all; my eth1 device fails to exist when I boot 2.6.24-19. I'm using ipw2200 for my intel 2915 (abg). When I modprobe ipw2200, I get "ipw2200: probe of 0000:0b:02.0 failed with error -5". The internet suggests booting linux with acpi=noirq, which I do, and I still get that message. How do I make my wireless interface work? | 11:24 |
| Xavura | ikonia: well I can't use FTP because it is broken on my installation so I need an alternative | 11:24 |
| Scrosson | is it possible to change where software installs to? | 11:25 |
| ikonia | Xavura: scp or wget | 11:25 |
| Fryguy-- | Xavura: like i've said 2x already, use scp | 11:25 |
| gnomefreak | fsckbuntu: use xubuntu or fluxbox or openbox or a number of others | 11:25 |
| bazhang | Scrosson, why would you want to? | 11:25 |
| Scrosson | because i have my main drive (smaller) and my slave drive (bigger) | 11:25 |
| pen | Starnestommy, I don't understand why is it asking gcin | 11:25 |
| Xavura | I heard... | 11:25 |
| jonaskoe1ker | Scrosson: I think it would take violence towards .deb-files; and what's the motivation? | 11:25 |
| Xavura | I'm just trying to get a few alternatives | 11:25 |
| Starnestommy | pen: I think you didn't remove gcin fully | 11:25 |
| ikonia | Xavura: those are you best two options | 11:25 |
| Chaotic_Descent | hm. that stupid ubuntu-restricted-extras doesn't work on my DVDs either. hurray! | 11:25 |
| Xavura | Or sshfs? That sounds good | 11:26 |
| rausb0 | ikonia: why not use sshfs? | 11:26 |
| ikonia | Chaotic_Descent: if you want help - ask | 11:26 |
| Starnestommy | Chaotic_Descent: you may need libdvdcss | 11:26 |
| geek_inn2 | can i set temporary lablel for partition in fstab using LABEL=""? | 11:26 |
| Fryguy-- | scrosson, you can mount /usr (probably the biggest part of filesystem), onto another partition | 11:26 |
| pen | Starnestommy, ok, so what should I do? | 11:26 |
| bazhang | Chaotic_Descent, that is libdvdcss2 from www.medibuntu.org | 11:26 |

| Scrosson | hmm k | 11:26 |
| ubunubi | geek_inn2: why not just set a perm label with e2label ? | 11:26 |
| lardarse | jonaskoe1ker: you should do 'lspci' and paste the outpuut into http://paste.ubuntu.com (not here!) because it will probably be required | 11:26 |

| bazhang | fsckbuntu, please join #ubuntu-offtopic | 11:27 |
| Fryguy-- | Scrosson: oh. Wine by default installs stuff into your home directory. You can move your home directory to another partition if you want | 11:27 |
| pen | Starnestommy, that message still comes up | 11:27 |
| tristan_ | fsckbuntu: it does its called OpenSource | 11:27 |
| Scrosson | how oO? | 11:27 |
| gnomefreak | tristan_: please dont | 11:27 |

| tristan_ | sorry | 11:27 |
| Xubuntaner | ok uhm the german channel is empty... so i will try it here | 11:27 |
| Starnestommy | pen: what about the output of sudo aptitude search gcin? | 11:27 |
| ubunubi | scrosson:: you could also just make your hidden c_drive wine directory a symbolic link to a directory on another parition that has space. wine will never know the difference ;) | 11:27 |
| lardarse | oops | 11:28 |
| Xubuntaner | it all started with my main kernel not working | 11:28 |
| lardarse | jonaskoelker: unfortunately, i can take you no further, as i know nothjing about wireless networking | 11:28 |
| Scrosson | which ever is easiest/best | 11:28 |
| jonaskoelker | lardarse: ok | 11:28 |
| pen | Starnestommy, two entries | 11:28 |
| Chaotic_Descent | hrm... so the initial link I was given links to... although I thought that first page was going to solve the problem. I'm only looking at the DVD section because it's not working. | 11:28 |
| ubunubi | Scrosson: symlink is easier than moving your entire home directory :PP | 11:28 |
| Xubuntaner | i dont know how to repair it. at present im running an older functional kernal | 11:28 |
| pen | Starnestommy, both p | 11:28 |
| Xubuntaner | kernel* | 11:29 |
| Scrosson | am sure ill have other software ill need to add later, which id like on my slave. | 11:29 |
| Fryguy-- | ubunubi: probably not, and it's a lot more fragile | 11:29 |
| Scrosson | is it possible to make a partition bigger? | 11:29 |
| Starnestommy | pen: did you logout then login again after removing it? | 11:29 |
| Fryguy-- | Scrosson: sure, use gparted to do that | 11:29 |
| Scrosson | okay | 11:29 |
| Scrosson | can u also tell me how to symlink thing because im new to this | 11:29 |
| pen | Starnestommy, yes | 11:29 |
| jonaskoelker | Scrosson: open a terminal; type "ln -s /path/to/existing/file /path/where/you/want/the/symlink" | 11:30 |
| pen | Starnestommy, actually I installed the deb from the website first then I removed and try the one in repository | 11:30 |
| Fryguy-- | Scrosson: it'd be better if you moved your home directory to a bigger partition instead | 11:30 |
| ubunubi | Scrosson: if you're moving your entire home directly you dont need the symlink | 11:30 |
| pen | Starnestommy, both are not working | 11:30 |
| ubunubi | directory* | 11:30 |
| Fryguy-- | Scrosson: the symlink thing will work, but it's pretty fragile and you'll likely run into problems later on | 11:30 |
| pen | Starnestommy, I use alien to convert from rpm to deb to install the newer one from the website | 11:30 |
| Starnestommy | pen: the one from the website may have done something strange | 11:30 |
| Scrosson | okay | 11:30 |
| pen | Starnestommy, maybe | 11:30 |
| Scrosson | so how do i move it without breaking anything? | 11:30 |
| pen | Starnestommy, but the file content looks normal | 11:30 |
| ubunubi | fryguy: i wasn't suggesting symlinking his home directory, just the wine/c_drive/wow install directory | 11:30 |
| Starnestommy | pen: that might explain it. Alien often fails to correctly convert packages | 11:30 |
| tristan_ | anyone able to help with a AWN-MANAGER error? | 11:31 |

| Chaotic_Descent | ok... ok. so I did what it told me to. I installed libdvdcss2 and VLC still crashes when trying to play a DVD. | 11:31 |
| pen | Starnestommy, so what should I do now to fix it? I'm really clueless | 11:31 |
| ubunubi | fryguy:: what can possibly go wrong? the directory will never move | 11:31 |
| Starnestommy | pen: so am I | 11:31 |
| Chaotic_Descent | why is this so damned complicated? | 11:31 |
| Xubuntaner | anyone out there to help me repairing my mainkernel? msg me | 11:31 |
| Fryguy-- | Scrosson: set up a new partition the size you want and stuff, then sudo cp -a /home/ /location/of/new/partition. Then edit fstab to mount this new partition to /home, and then mount it and you are done | 11:31 |
| Fryguy-- | ubunubi: but his hd mount might | 11:32 |
| bri-h | Anybody here really understand pulseaudio - I'm having a hard time getting it working. I've got everything working using ALSA though and I'm wondering what the advantage of pulseaudio would be. | 11:32 |
| Scrosson | ty | 11:32 |
| ubunubi | Fryguy--: the power of UUIDs | 11:32 |
| Fryguy-- | ubunubi: right, and there's no sense in coupling a symlink in a nested directory to a possiibly variable mountpoint in another part of the directory structure | 11:32 |
| Scrosson | can i like murge my two partitions on one drive into one? | 11:33 |
| Fryguy-- | ubunubi: not to mention if it does break and an outsider tries to fix it they are going to have a heck of a time identifying a broken symlink in that case | 11:33 |
| Fryguy-- | Scrosson: you can delete one, and then grow the other to be full size | 11:33 |
| ubunubi | Fryguy--: i think that's being overly cautious, but that's just me | 11:33 |
| Fryguy-- | ubunubi: considering how easy it is to make separate home directory, i don't think so | 11:34 |
| berkelep | Fryguy--: any suggestion on how to switch to root or edit /etc/shadow, etc/group without sudo? | 11:34 |
| ubunubi | Fryguy--: easier to fix a symlink later, than explain to scrosso how he deleted all his partitions in gparted trying to make new ones :P | 11:35 |
| Fryguy-- | berkelep: like i told you, you need to get into rescue mode, there is no way | 11:35 |
| pen | Starnestommy, do you know why im-switch can't set to scim? | 11:35 |
| Scrosson | hmm | 11:35 |
| berkelep | Fryguy--: how do i do that if the system is on a remote server? | 11:35 |
| Fryguy-- | ubunubi: probably not | 11:35 |
| Scrosson | cp: cannot overwrite non-directory `/dev/sda3' with directory `/home' | 11:35 |
| Fryguy-- | berkelep: you don't | 11:35 |
| Fryguy-- | berkelep: you already asked this and i already answered it. my answer isn't going to change an hour later | 11:36 |
| Fryguy-- | Scrosson: you need to mount the device somewhere | 11:36 |
| MrWizeGuy1983_ | Scrosson, what are you tryin' to do? lol are you trying to mount home by using cp? | 11:36 |
| Fryguy-- | Scrosson: mkdir /mnt/tmp && sudo mount /dev/sda3 /mnt/tmp | 11:36 |

| fulhack | I have a theoretical question.. say I create a ramdrive... and I migrate the apps that are run the most on the PC to this drive, perhaps the directories w/ the most writes. and so forth.. thus redusing the number of writes to the disk drive..

| ubunubi | fulhack: in theory. but if something else keeps the drive constantly spun up anyway...then no, no savings | 12:02 |
| Fryguy-- | Saiko: use ethtool | 12:02 |
| kaktuspalme | hmm, the acpi video module has a bug, if i close my lid then the whole system freezes | 12:02 |
| burdenx | how can i extract multiple rar archives ? | 12:02 |
| magnetron | Chaotic_Descent, most people would install the "ubuntu-restricted-extras" package. if you could give me the link to the page you are talking about, i can check it for you | 12:02 |
| fulhack | ubunubi: So the actual saving would be if the drive spun down? Not just keeping the reads/writes to a minimum? | 12:02 |
| fserve | is ubuntu 8.04.1 released? | 12:02 |

| peta120 | ubunubi: oh well thanks anyways | 12:04 |
| burdenx | dr_Willis, i tried to right click on the first one, Extract here, it took ridiculous time then I canceled it | 12:04 |
| Saiko | Fryguy-- changes made with ethtool are permanent? | 12:04 |
| ubunubi | fulhack: even without a spin down you would theoretically be preventing some wear & tear on the drive head by reducing read/writes..but it would almost be negligible | 12:04 |
| dr_Willis | burdenx, i always use the command line for such tasks. | 12:04 |
| Fryguy-- | Saiko: don't think so | 12:04 |
| fulhack | ubunubi: Hm.. Okay. Do you know if any work has been done in this field? Migrating the OS to ram to conserve energy? | 12:04 |

| offline | chaotic: if u have installed ubuntu-restricted-extras theb u sould be able to play mp3's, or try with other player | 12:05 |
| fulhack | To my knowledge, RAMs consume a much smaller amount of energy, right? | 12:05 |
| offline | *then | 12:05 |
| magnetron | Chaotic_Descent, yeah, run the "update manager" | 12:05 |
| ubunubi | fulhack: yeah i've read a few articles about it. but the thing is, you have to get the entire OS and programs in RAM and prevent disk access (can save RAM contents to disk on shutdown or something) for any appreciable benefit | 12:05 |
| pen | Fryguy--, still there? | 12:05 |
| pen | Fryguy--, I found out that | 12:05 |

| pen | Fryguy--, why is it looking for the wrong directory? | 12:06 |
| fulhack | ubunubi: Aha.. So this means a vast amount of RAM or a really minimal system I guess.. hmm.. It's interesting though. Especially for portable computers. | 12:06 |
| Ging | would it be too much to ask the changes to xorg.conf to happen without restarting X ? | 12:06 |

| * dundee_ | 12:07 | |
| pen | Ging, you could try google, i remember there is a way to preview the change | 12:07 |
| ubunubi | fulhack: seeking and read/writing of course use more energy than just spinning idling (without spindown)..but i haven't run my own test to see if the extended battery life is worth the effort of configuring all disk-hog programs to use a ram disk instead | 12:07 |
| Ging | restarting will take less time | 12:07 |
| bullgard4 | evince-gtk: "Document (postscript, pdf) viewer (gtk version) " What is meant by 'gtk version'? | 12:07 |
| ubunubi | fulhack: but the difference in power consumption to seek/read/write is fractions of a watt from idle spinning | 12:08 |
| ubunubi | fulhack: so you'd have to guage things like how long the system is accuring 'saved' fractions of watts vs battery consumption to see if you'd ever accumulate enough savings to matter appreciably | 12:08 |
| Saiko | whats the difference? full half duplex? >media: 1000baseTx-HD, 1000baseTx-FD | 12:09 |
| pen | Fryguy--, hello? | 12:09 |
| pan__ | when i type in free mem is ram? | 12:10 |
| ubunubi | Saiko: half duplex means it can send/recieve in only one direction at a time. full duplex means there's simultaneous bi-directional communication happening | 12:10 |
| fulhack | ubunubi: Hmm, yes, you're probably right. The savings when not spinning down would be very very small.. I think I will look into having a small "emergency" system running in RAM though.. Say.. only having firefox and perhaps a small office suite in it. That would be excellent if no wall outlets are available. | 12:10 |
| Saiko | what am I doing wrong? | 12:11 |

| ging | ok now this is very wrong | 12:11 |

| ubunubi | fulhack: just set mine up today actually | 12:13 |
| ging | dont supose it auto backsup does it? | 12:13 |
| fulhack | ubunubi: Yes, exactly. Hmm.. Then the question is if the power savings from the drive are worth the work.. Getting 10 more minutes just doesn't make sense. | 12:13 |

| hyperstream | today- had issues with running Audacious, further investigation showed me that PulseAudio is in hardy(recently upgraded) however, i researched it and found its a new Audio server. so i used pulseaudio driver for this application and upon reading up on it. i found alsa also branches off and sends stuff to pulse, now it was playing thru my SBLIVE instead of onboard we'll call sblive card1 and Onboard card2, i then got the gui for pu | 12:45 |
| hyperstream | lse- and made the CARD2 default. since then Audacious has worked fine, a few other movie applications and such still used CARD1, didnt bother me, now that i have installed the libflashsupport for flash in firefox, it seems to be using CARD1 rather than CARD2, even tho in theroy its ment to be playing thru PULSE | 12:45 |

| pen | hyperstream, :-) make sure to check this fundamental thing before set out a research | 13:07 |
| pen | hyperstream, actually pulseaudio would cause some latency | 13:08 |

| xaustenx | is there a way to fix the problem i'm having with installing these nvidia drivers where it doesn't detect the ubuntu kernel AND can't compile the nvidia kernel? | 13:10 |
| ubunubi | xaustenx: are you using hardy? | 13:11 |
| xaustenx | yes, using 8.04 | 13:11 |
| ubunubi | xaustenx: use EnvyNG and be done with it, IMO | 13:12 |
| hyperstream | pen: thanks man | 13:12 |
| pen | hyperstream, np :) | 13:12 |
| pan__ | say i did sudo apt-get install fluxbox | 13:12 |
| xaustenx | i have envyng but it doesn't have the most recent driver with the 6800 support i'd like to have | 13:12 |

| ubunubi | xaustenx: so you're trying to install an unsupported video driver...gl with support on that :P | 13:13 |

| pan__ | but it not there | 13:13 |
| xaustenx | it's nvidia | 13:13 |
| pan__ | so i wonder where it could be | 13:13 |
| xaustenx | :\ | 13:13 |
| dr_Willis | pan__, check the fluxbox docs. - installing a package will NOT NOT NOT automatically copy 'system' config files to the users home dirs. | 13:13 |
| pan__ | oh | 13:13 |
| dr_Willis | pan__, most likely some system wide fluxbox dir. | 13:13 |
| xaustenx | i was hoping they'd address some of the issues i have with my card in that driver since it had "added 6800 support" | 13:13 |
| pen | hyperstream, try this | 13:14 |
| dr_Willis | pan__, this is how most programs work. the user can copy the system wide config to their home dir and customize it as they want | 13:14 |

| fshapps | Hi - I'd like to switch from Vista to Ubuntu. I have a dual-core Intel laptop. What is the consensus on 32bit vs. 64bit? | 13:27 |
| joaopinto | fshapps, there are no major problems using 64bits | 13:30 |
| joaopinto | for the regular desktop use the performance benefit is minimal | 13:30 |
| fshapps | joaopinto - I have 4 gigs of RAM so 64bit would be nice. However, I'm concerned about the possibility of components which don't support the 64bit version. At this point are there any "popular" apps which don't support 64bit? | 13:32 |
| ubunubi | fshapps: yeah basic things like flash for online videos | 13:33 |
| fshapps | Actually - flash does work | 13:33 |
| ubunubi | fshapps: using ghetto workarounds and running 32bit apps anyway -- sure | 13:33 |
| Signil | hi, I am on hardy right now.. on running finger,who,w etc I get nil.. "15:32:15 up 4:31, 0 users" why is it so? | 13:34 |
| hyperstream | pen: works fine now | 13:34 |
| hyperstream | pen: should i install packages 1 by one and report it? | 13:34 |
| ubunubi | fshapps: but if you're gonna run 32bit apps or 32bit plugins...that can't utilize the 1 benefit of 64bit computing -- why bother with the hassle for now? :P | 13:34 |
| cemunal | hi | 13:34 |
| joaopinto | fshapps / Ububegin , flash works fine on 64 bits | 13:34 |
| hyperstream | pen: wait no- there it goes just crashed | 13:34 |

| theblue | all* | 13:35 |
| Signil | hi, I am on hardy right now.. on running finger,who,w etc I get nil.. "15:32:15 up 4:31, 0 users" why is it so? | 13:35 |
| ubunubi | joaopinto: yes, using the 32bit plugin and some magic voodoo | 13:35 |
| theblue | I installed hardy off a usb drive onto my computer, and it decided to put GRUB on the usb drive, instead of the hard drive. | 13:35 |
| ubunubi | joaopinto: but no point in being 64bit if you running 32bit stuff to get them to work | 13:35 |
| theblue | what should i do to make it so that i don't need the usb drive to boot> | 13:35 |
| joaopinto | ubottu, no magic voodoo, using the 32bits version yes.. because adobe does not provide a 64 bits version... but is tjust that | 13:35 |
| fshapps | Thanks for the input - consensus seems to be for normal computing 64bit isn't worth the hassle. I guess my last gig of RAM will remain unused. Thanks! | 13:35 |
| pen | hyperstream, it might be firefox's problem | 13:36 |
| joaopinto | ubunubi, is not on the flash player that you would benefit on having 64 bits.. so that is pretty pointless | 13:36 |

| ubunubi | fshapps: short version: pro, extra ram, if your programs are also 64bit...cons: hassle and everything else :P | 13:39 |
| fshapps | Yep - here's an interesting quote from the thread I linked to: | 13:40 |
| fshapps | One thing to remember when choosing 64bit or 32bit is that not only is the Linux Kernel progressing the distro of your choice will forever be progressing, as well, and issues that some might of had using one software architecture may not be there in later versions. | 13:40 |

| gnomefreak | xaustenx: why compile them we have them in repos | 13:47 |
| xaustenx | where are those located? | 13:48 |
| joaopinto | nullmindless, gnome-control-center | 13:48 |
| ubunubi | gnomefreak: he's trying to compile an unsupported version | 13:48 |
| xaustenx | well, it's nvidia, but it's brand new :P | 13:48 |
| deamer | 4870 ftw | 13:48 |
| gnomefreak | xaustenx: in the restricted repos | 13:48 |
| gnomefreak | ubunubi: what card isnt supported? | 13:48 |
| ubunubi | gnomefreak: not talking about the card, talking about the driver version | 13:49 |
| nullmindless | joaopinto: thx | 13:49 |
| gnomefreak | ubunubi: that doesnt make sense driver support is for cards | 13:49 |
| Webby | malzeit | 13:50 |
| gnomefreak | ubunubi: unless you mean they are newest drivers and we dont include them thats not unsupported since we dont support the nvidia drivers anyway. also since envy is in repos it will grab you the right drivers for your card | 13:52 |

| ubunubi | gnomefreak: envy doesn't grab the latest and greatest. it has releases just like ubuntu. like 8.6 is the newest driver from ati but the latest envyng will only install 8.4 | 13:53 |

| Bullit | simple question, how to make hidden files vissible ? | 13:53 |
| xaustenx | and yes, what ubunubi said is true, envy is behind a few releases from what nvidia has listed | 13:53 |
| joaopinto | Bullit, if you mean on nautilus. just press CTRL-H | 13:54 |
| gnomefreak | ubunubi: the latest and greatest doesnt support cards that the version in repos dont. they are most likely bug fixes depending on version number. and are not needed and yes envy will grab drivers from nvidia website | 13:54 |
| ubunubi | !usplash | m_cheevy | 13:54 |

| Shoopuf | I am currently using Windows XP but want to install Ubuntu... So I used Gparted to make a 20 GB EXT3 partition and am leaving the rest for XP... Anyway, do I need to make a "Swap" partition with Gparted too or is the EXT3 partition good enough? | 13:54 |
| ubunubi | gnomefreak:: sorry but that's uninformed | 13:55 |
| === poningru_ is now known as poningru | ||
| tytytyty | Shoopuf: depends.. if u have lots of ram, u might not need swap | 13:55 |
| joaopinto | gnomefreak, actually I saw some feedback that some models were only supported using envy, supported as working in acceptable conditions, but I guess those are very new models | 13:55 |
| nullmindless | tytytyty: no, make a swap | 13:55 |
| gnomefreak | ubunubi: no it isnt that is what envy was made to do so you didnt have to compile the kernel modules but it grabs the run file from website. if it is behind in code i cant control that but you need to file a bug on it than | 13:55 |
| Seracht | hi, can you guys suggest a good text editor (similar to Kate/vim) | 13:55 |
| sampoo | any idea when the 2.6.25 kernel is going to be available through apt? | 13:56 |
| nullmindless | Shoopuf: use GParted to create "unallocated space" and the installer will make an ext3 and swapfs for you using this space | 13:56 |
| joaopinto | Seracht, gedit ? | 13:56 |
| ubunubi | gnomefreak:: it fetches only the driver that release of envyng supports, it doesn't fetch the newest | 13:56 |
| gnomefreak | joaopinto: and that means it grabs a newer version than 169.12 | 13:56 |
| gnomefreak | ubunubi: it does if it is updated to | 13:56 |
| poningru | Seracht: gvim | 13:56 |
| nullmindless | Seracht: gedit is Applications->Accessories->Text Editor | 13:56 |
| gnomefreak | hence the file a bug on it comment | 13:56 |
| Seracht | hmm is Gedit good though? | 13:56 |
| tytytyty | nullmindless: swap is usefull, but my ram usage nv gets past 30% | 13:57 |
| nullmindless | Seracht: abiword is good, and gedit has a plugin system | 13:57 |
| ubunubi | gnomefreak: envyng hasn't _been_ updated to support the newest drivers yet | 13:57 |
| gnomefreak | more than likely they didnt change the version of the run file the script grabs | 13:57 |
| nullmindless | tytytyty: if you use a swap it will make hibernation much faster | 13:57 |
| gnomefreak | ubunubi: if you want it to file a bug on it for the 3rd time | 13:57 |
| tytytyty | nullmindless: ic.. nv used dat :p | 13:57 |
| nullmindless | tytytyty: also virtual memory mapping and disk caching will improve | 13:57 |
| ubunubi | gnomefreak: it's not a bug | 13:57 |
| gnomefreak | ubunubi: its simple to change | 13:57 |
| gnomefreak | ubunubi: yes it is. it is a wishlist bug | 13:57 |
| gnomefreak | thats why we have wishlist in the bug report importance | 13:58 |
| ubunubi | gnomefreak: whatever dude | 13:58 |
| mythril | anyone have any good suggestions on download managers/accelerators for ubuntu? | 13:58 |
| britt | is anybody else having 3D/GLX issues with the newer kernels?? For some reason I only get 40FPS on glxgears, where I should be getting 1300+ | 13:59 |
| tytytyty | nullmindless: isnt swap virtual memory? | 13:59 |
| poningru | tytytyty: yes | 13:59 |
| poningru | but it is required for things like hibernate etc. | 13:59 |
| xaustenx | does alt+tab not work when i play games in full screen mode? | 13:59 |
| CorpseFeeder | I am looking for a PCMCIA Firewire card that is guaranteed to work in Ubuntu. Where do I find out which cards are compatible? | 14:00 |
| Justaman | how do you play games in ubuntu? I can not configure wine.... | 14:00 |
| nullmindless | tytytyty: im saying that a portion of a file can be expressed as a memory segment, see "Memory Mapping" on wiki | 14:00 |
| xaustenx | it's just eve | 14:00 |
| joaopinto | !wine | Justaman | 14:00 |
| ubottu | Justaman: 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. | 14:00 |
| tytytyty | poningru: would i need a swap partition as big as my ram for hibernation? | 14:00 |
| xaustenx | they use cadega(s?) | 14:00 |
| gnomefreak | !wine > Justaman (please see pm) | 14:00 |
| ubottu | Justaman, please see my private message | 14:00 |
| poningru | britt: the only thing diff in newer kernel is a the dri is within the kernel itself | 14:00 |
| Justaman | got it thx | 14:00 |
| poningru | tytytyty: yes | 14:00 |
| nullmindless | tytytyty: a good example is binaries, you only use 5% of a programs functionality maybe, so it would be nice to map the binary into memory and access it on demand using a cache | 14:00 |
| M_Cheevy | anyone have experience making usplash themes... I've managed to get one built and installed, but the progress bar color & text background colors are not what I expected based on the png8 palette indexes I used (used gimp to get the indexes). anyone know what might be the problem | 14:01 |
| britt | poningru: and that shouldnt explain my problems. I even installed the nvidia driver from the nvidia site and everything. This is very frustrating--i'm doing all I can NOT to go to Vista :( | 14:01 |
| tytytyty | nullmindless: yeah.. i noe its advantages to have the whole program in ram | 14:01 |
| poningru | britt: you probably dont have the driver installed correctly | 14:01 |
| gnomefreak | britt: turn off compiz see if it gets better | 14:02 |
| tytytyty | but since my ram is hardly used up | 14:02 |
| nullmindless | tytytyty: memory mapping will accomplish this better | 14:02 |
| Seracht | is there an autoformatter in gedit? | 14:02 |
| Seracht | or know a plugin | 14:02 |
| tytytyty | the swap is just sitting there not being used | 14:02 |
| poningru | britt: why did you install from the site? | 14:02 |
| poningru | and not the ubuntu installer? | 14:02 |
| britt | gnomefreak: I tried that--no change. | 14:02 |
| WalloO | britt, what is your problem with nvidia card? | 14:02 |
| britt | poningru: Why not? | 14:02 |
| nullmindless | tytytyty: your ram has a throughput of X/mbs, and your disk has throughput of Y/mbps, if you ONLY use RAM you couldnt do any parellel loading | 14:02 |
| tytytyty | nullmindless: free shows that swap is not being used at all | 14:02 |
| poningru | britt: because ubuntu's package has taken into account a lot of stuff nvidia would not | 14:03 |
| poningru | i.e whats in the kernel and whats not etc. | 14:03 |
| joaopinto | tytytyty, your RAM can always be used for disk I/O cashing, that will provide you performance on something which is not RAM related and is an usual bottleneck | 14:03 |
| britt | WalloO: I tried one other linux distro, and that seems to work perfectly | 14:03 |
| tytytyty | nullmindless: but isnt the throughput of ram much much greater than that of a harddisk? | 14:03 |
| nullmindless | tytytyty: yes, but having the ability to get data from RAM and disk has an advantage | 14:03 |
| WalloO | britt, what doesn't work? | 14:03 |
| britt | poningru: you do have a point there. I used the website driver so I can turn off the powersaving bullcrap | 14:04 |
| nullmindless | tytytyty: maybe half the binary is in RAM and the other half being read from disk | 14:04 |
| britt | WalloO: 3D performance | 14:04 |
| WalloO | britt: which card do you have? | 14:04 |
| CorpseFeeder | I am looking for a PCMCIA Firewire card that is guaranteed to work in Ubuntu. Where do I find out which cards are compatible? | 14:04 |
| European-African | how can I get files of my n90 in linux? | 14:04 |
| britt | WalloO: Geforce FX 5200Go | 14:04 |
| britt | WalloO: old card--got a good deal on the lappy tho | 14:05 |
| nullmindless | tytytyty: virtual memory also gives you the ability to create "private" segments. A program can create a mapped area of the disk and modify it without writing the changes back immediately | 14:05 |
| alen | can someone help me and my scanner :D:D:D | 14:05 |
| joaopinto | !anyone | alen | 14:05 |
| ubottu | alen: A large amount of the first questions asked in this channel start with "Does anyone/anybody..." Why not ask your next question (the real one) and find out? | 14:05 |
| WalloO | britt, is 5200 go a card which uses computer ram instead of graphic card video ram? | 14:06 |
| nullmindless | tytytyty: under your config if a program begins to eat memory it could cause your system to lock up, whereas my system would start disk trashing and I would kill it before hand | 14:06 |
| tytytyty | nullmindless: isnt virtual memory just a extension of the physical memory? | 14:06 |
| britt | WalloO: I dont think so. lemme check real quick tho. | 14:06 |
| nullmindless | tytytyty: your kernel will still be doing all the virtual memory mappings, thats part of the kernal - you can't turn that off | 14:06 |
| nullmindless | (err i shouldn't say can't, but never would typically) | 14:06 |
| tytytyty | nullmindless: if some crappy progs does begin to eat up my memory | 14:06 |
| aladin | If I append content to a multi-volume DVD with "growisofs -M ...", then the new content is only visible if I reinsert the DVD. Any idea how I can force Linux to reread the DVD without reinserting it? | 14:06 |
| alen | i have problem with scanner on ubuntu 8.04 | 14:06 |
| tytytyty | nullmindless: and it starts swapping to disk | 14:07 |
| WalloO | britt, sorry, it'S for laptop | 14:07 |
| tytytyty | nullmindless: wouldnt the result be the same as it filling up my ram? | 14:07 |
| tytytyty | nullmindless: the kernel will start killing off non critical processes den finally crashes | 14:07 |
| britt | WalloO: nope. its apparently got its own memory | 14:07 |
| ubunubi | aladin: unmount the dvd drive and remount it? | 14:07 |
| britt | WalloO: are you suggesting Ubuntu may not be using my card memory | 14:07 |
| WalloO | britt, what do you use to set the xorg.conf file (configure X server)? | 14:07 |
| joaopinto | aladin, maybe unomunting and mounting it ? | 14:08 |
| WalloO | britt, no, not at all... | 14:08 |
| britt | WalloO: well I was using 'nvidia-xconfig' but I also did diffs of the two files to make sure it didnt change * too* much | 14:08 |
| nullmindless | tytytyty: I mean no disrespect, but I think you may wish to have a good read of the wiki: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Memory-mapped_file | 14:08 |
| WalloO | britt, this is not nvidia-settings? | 14:09 |
| tytytyty | nullmindless: no offence taken.. i just wanan learn and clear doubts :0 | 14:09 |
| nullmindless | it explains its drawbacks and advantages, some of which both of us have explored | 14:09 |
| rramalho | hi | 14:09 |
| britt | WalloO: no. this directly sets up xorg.conf in order to use the new driver. | 14:09 |
| aladin | ubunubi: joaopinto: unmounting and mounting it does'nt work..... | 14:09 |
| rramalho | i've just added a nvidia 8800GTS to my ubuntu 7.10 machine | 14:09 |
| rramalho | and the machine just crashes on boot | 14:10 |
| britt | WalloO: perhaps something broke supportwise on the old cards? | 14:10 |
| britt | WalloO: I have zero problems with my 8600 | 14:10 |
| joaopinto | rramalho, you mean.. the graphical session crashes ? | 14:10 |
| britt | WalloO: and zero problems with the other four laptops I own | 14:10 |
| britt | lol | 14:10 |
| joaopinto | rramalho, switch to a terminal console with: CTRL-ALT-F1 | 14:10 |
| rramalho | joaopinto: nop. crashes on the boot process | 14:11 |
| jam1 | Hi guys, I've installed Ubuntu 8.04 using the Windows installer. Now, the uninstaller doesn't work... I double-click it and nothing happens, and the same when trying this via the control panel... | 14:11 |
| joaopinto | rramalho, then login and sudo: sudo dpkg-reconfigure xserver-xorg | 14:11 |
| psyco | Guys, can I switch my master (linux ) hd to slave and have linux still work? | 14:11 |
| joaopinto | the whole boot ? that is odd | 14:11 |
| joaopinto | rramalho, can you boot into rescue mode and try the xserver reconfigure ? | 14:11 |
| rramalho | i can't get anywhere joaopinto. it just crashes. even in rescue mode. | 14:11 |
| WalloO | britt, ok. It seems I can't be of a big help here.... when it starts, you see the nvidia logo, and glx and other 3D options are enabled in xorg.con, right? | 14:12 |
| rramalho | preparing restricted drivers | 14:12 |
| rramalho | AND then crashes | 14:12 |
| psyco | Guys, can I switch my master (linux ) hd to slave and have linux still work? | 14:12 |
| CorpseFeeder | Is there no such thing as a PCMCIA firewire card that works in linux? | 14:12 |
| joaopinto | rramalho, that is odd.. because on rescue mode it is not using any hw specific drivers.. it is just using VESA | 14:12 |
| alec | does anyone know anything about downloading and running text adventure games? | 14:12 |
| HeXiLed | psyco yes | 14:12 |
| psyco | HeXiLed : THanks | 14:12 |
| rramalho | it just starts dumping a LOT of kernel information joakim- | 14:12 |
| rramalho | it just starts dumping a LOT of kernel information joaopinto | 14:12 |
| britt | WalloO: yes. I have done this on the other computers, and I'm pulling out my hair trying to figure out what Im doing.although I hated it, fedora got me 1300FPS with the driver installed (I just hate yum with a passion) | 14:13 |
| HeXiLed | rramalho joaopinto tugas :) | 14:13 |
| rramalho | lol | 14:13 |
| joaopinto | :P | 14:13 |
| emilioeduardob | hi! i'm trying to play games with wine(warcraft) but my notebook set the processor speed at 800mhz only, i tried setting it to 1,8ghz with cpufreq-set but whenever a i run Wow.exe it goes back to ondemand | 14:13 |
| rramalho | poia | 14:13 |
| britt | WalloO: everything seemed 'normal' and compiz runs fine (to a point--no rain activity) | 14:13 |
| rramalho | pois :p | 14:13 |
| alec | are there any repositories i can add that have text adventure games? | 14:13 |
| WalloO | britt, and what is your framerate? | 14:14 |
| rramalho | joaopinto: but it works with a mandriva 2009 live cd | 14:14 |
| rramalho | :S | 14:14 |
| mikeyfbi | Question: Are there any beefed up file browsers other than the default? | 14:14 |
| britt | WalloO: WalloO 218 frames in 5.0 seconds = 43.421 FPS | 14:14 |
| jam1 | Uhm, so how do I fix this wui uninstaller...? | 14:14 |
| emilioeduardob | is there a way to set wine to use a certain CPU freq? | 14:14 |
| mikeyfbi | i guess i'm using nautilus. | 14:15 |
| britt | WalloO: I about died the first time I saw that. It's not hardware related--it's gotta be software, I just have to figure out what i'm doing. | 14:15 |
| WalloO | britt, if you had 60 Imay have said you have a fram sync, fur 43,421 is probably not that | 14:15 |
| britt | WalloO: oh--and the CPU chokes too. 100% | 14:15 |
| BlackRose666 | hi all | 14:16 |
| p3glax | hi, after some security updates, ntfs mounting through nautilus is broken. i just get "you are not priviledged..." when trying to mount a ntfs partition. is there a fix already? | 14:16 |
| WalloO | britt, you test glxgear? | 14:16 |
| BlackRose666 | had the same on debian :D | 14:16 |
| BlackRose666 | but with the ext3 root FS | 14:16 |
| britt | WalloO: thanks for your help BTW--this is just a real headscratcher | 14:16 |
| BlackRose666 | was so weird :/ | 14:16 |
| version-next | how do i install VNC client | 14:17 |
| joaopinto | version-next, just Add/Remove programs. search for it | 14:17 |
| BlackRose666 | maybe in apt repos? | 14:17 |
| BlackRose666 | apt-cache search VNC | 14:17 |
| britt | WalloO: yeah glxgears works. Basically, my Eee PC could kick this laptop all the way to the curb, and an intel 915 graphics shouldnt do that compared to an actual video card. | 14:17 |
| version-next | joaopinto: there is nothing | 14:17 |
| BlackRose666 | and yall find it :) | 14:17 |
| CorpseFeeder | HELP!!! I can't find any info on working PCMCIA firewire cards. I am looking for a PCMCIA Firewire card that is guaranteed to work in Ubuntu. Where do I find out which cards are compatible? Does such a thing not exist? I can't find anything on the forums except unsolved or unrelated issues.... | 14:17 |
| WalloO | britt, it seems you are in software mode, not hardware. But how to fix that.... | 14:18 |
| jam1 | Guys, any WUI uninstaller help please? It does not work! | 14:18 |
| soundray | !info xtightvncviewer | version-next | 14:18 |

| joaopinto | verruckt, yes there is just search for "vnc", you will get the remote desktop viewer, vinagre | 14:19 |
| soundray | version-next: if you can't find that, you may have to enable universe | 14:19 |
| britt | WalloO: yeah even though I see the nvidia logo and all that, you're right--its almost like i'm in a crazy hardware mode. | 14:19 |
| scorpioA | smbody know server for OpenArena? | 14:19 |
| CorpseFeeder | has anyone EVER got firewire to work from a plugin card on a laptop??? | 14:19 |
| britt | WalloO: lol. crazy software mode * | 14:19 |
| WalloO | have you tried to use a xorg.conf file from one of your other computer, just to check. | 14:20 |
| britt | WalloO: actually---no. I could though. Lemme pull it. | 14:20 |
| Kill1 | hey guys | 14:21 |

| lance | what is startx | 14:23 |
| britt | Kill1: hope you have better luck than I | 14:23 |
| soundray | lance: are you logged into gnome? Then you don't need startx | 14:23 |
| britt | lance: is there a logout button | 14:23 |
| lance | yup | 14:24 |
| the_fafa | how do i add a missing python module? | 14:24 |
| britt | soundray: it sounds like when you launch gnome from the console. | 14:24 |
| britt | soundray: hitting logout will kick u back to the console | 14:24 |
| alec | can anyone tell me anything about running interactive fiction games? | 14:24 |

| soundray | !games > alec | 14:25 |
| ubottu | alec, please see my private message | 14:25 |
| britt | WalloO: apparently that computer is off. I'm abotu 200 miles from it at the moment. | 14:26 |
| CorpseFeeder | I am getting no where. vlearly no one in ere knows anything about firewire cards, :( | 14:26 |
| soundray | lance: what happens when you hit the Quit applet (top panel on the right) | 14:26 |
| CorpseFeeder | *cleary | 14:26 |
| britt | CorpseFeeder: there are sites online that will list compatable cardsa with linux. | 14:26 |
| soundray | CorpseFeeder: you need to say what the problem is | 14:26 |
| lance | britt .. i logged out .. i logged in again .. i don't find the shut down & restart button | 14:26 |
| DroP-PsyChoSiS | any1 here know how to remove fglrx ? | 14:26 |
| soundray | DroP-PsyChoSiS: it depends on how you enabled it. | 14:27 |
| britt | WalloO: I'm going to try the new ubuntu-ish nvidia driver | 14:27 |
| nullmindless | DroP-PsyChoSiS: are u trying to use compiz, do a google for compiz-check | 14:27 |
| WalloO | britt, ok | 14:27 |
| britt | brb | 14:27 |
| DroP-PsyChoSiS | i cant remember i said fglrxinfo and i tuned me i must install something i did and now my gaming graphics are in their chops | 14:27 |
| nullmindless | DroP-PsyChoSiS: it will tell u if ur using FGLRX or not | 14:27 |
| DroP-PsyChoSiS | no | 14:27 |
| DroP-PsyChoSiS | i am using it | 14:27 |
| CorpseFeeder | soundray I've been stating the problem for the last 30 minutes. britt - I can't find any sites which list firewire cards. I have been asking that too. | 14:28 |
| DroP-PsyChoSiS | i wanna get ride of it tho :S | 14:28 |
| lance | i logged out .. i logged in again .. i don't find the shut down & restart button ...... what will i do | 14:28 |
| DroP-PsyChoSiS | log out | 14:28 |

| jam1 | Any idea why would the WUBI uninstaller not work?? | 14:28 |
| DroP-PsyChoSiS | they will reappear | 14:28 |
| cara | Hi all, I installed ubuntu-wubi a while back and today the grub4dos can't find any of the kernels. I'm not sure what happened between now and then other than I decided to boot into windows for the first time in almost a month and a half. | 14:29 |
| leikao | sudo reboot | 14:29 |
| soundray | CorpseFeeder: any PCMCIA firewire card should work. Buy from a vendor who will give you a no-quibbles exchange if it doesn't, just in case. | 14:29 |
| cara | I'm not sure what to do | 14:29 |
| gnomefreak | alec: you need to add the repo to it not the site. most repos you find tell you how to add it | 14:29 |
| morbyte | im looking for a program/script that is able to change the exif-information within jpeg-images... my camera saved the wrong dates and now f-spot is sorting them in the wrong order :/ is there anything out there which accomplishes this? | 14:29 |
| alec | gnomefreak: ok thanks | 14:30 |
| crusie | hiya | 14:30 |
| soundray | DroP-PsyChoSiS: please keep your questions on one line. Do you get any output from 'grep fglrx /etc/X11/xorg.conf'? | 14:30 |
| crusie | I was wondering... I just installed ubuntu... where do I download packages? I mean... I'd love to have wine installed... isn't that on the repostoeries? | 14:30 |
| soundray | Hi gnomefreak. Long time no see | 14:30 |
| PhantomFreak | I'm having an issue with printers in Linux, have a Epson C62 on a LPD print server and for some reason it only wants to print about the first inch... Anyone got any ideas? | 14:30 |
| gnomefreak | hi soundray :) it has been | 14:30 |
| gnomefreak | soundray: ive been getting work done instead of being here | 14:30 |
| cara | crusie: type sudo apt-cache search wine | 14:31 |
| crusie | ahhh sry... remember now... *found synaptic....* | 14:31 |
| britt | WalloO: installing new nvidia/ubuntu driver | 14:31 |
| soundray | gnomefreak: that can be a good thing ;) | 14:31 |
| gnomefreak | yep | 14:31 |
| WalloO | britt, so? | 14:31 |
| DroP-PsyChoSiS | soundray, nope nothing :/ | 14:31 |
| cara | so can anyone help me? | 14:31 |
| lwg | hello | 14:31 |
| Kill1 | ah my system is updating so cant install nvidia drivers right now | 14:32 |
| cara | that is freakin' weird maybe I'll play around with grub4dos and see what's going on | 14:32 |
| cara | bbl | 14:32 |
| crusie | hmmm how come wine 1.0 isn't on the repo's ? | 14:32 |
| WalloO | crusie, if there is no change between a RC and a release, there is no update | 14:32 |
| gnomefreak | crusie: because it doesnt fit for SRU most likely and noone filed a wishlist bug for it. it needs to be backported to Hardy as 1.0 is in intrepid | 14:33 |
| PhantomFreak | Anyone with any ideas? A printer which only printd about an inch then halts perminantly? | 14:33 |
| gnomefreak | crusie: please file a backport bug on it | 14:33 |

| CorpseFeeder | Hm.... well my current firewire card does not work. If I could find into on known working firewire PCMCIA cards, then I could buy a working one :( | 14:34 |
| lance | it's not fixed .. shutdown & restart button are missing in the panel | 14:34 |
| gnomefreak | soundray: ah maybe ishould make my chroots over again before monday | 14:34 |
| soundray | CorpseFeeder: is it detected at all? | 14:34 |
| gnomefreak | crusie: you dont have to file a bug someone already did it and its been updated in hardy in the backports repos | 14:35 |
| lance | is there any otherway | 14:35 |
| soundray | crusie: did you get the backports factoid from ubottu? | 14:35 |
| gnomefreak | crusie: see system>admin>software sources | 14:35 |
| crusie | soundray: what am I supposed to look for there ? | 14:35 |
| CorpseFeeder | soundray, yes it is detected - just does not do anything. | 14:35 |
| gnomefreak | atleast i think that is still the path | 14:36 |

| * gnomefreak goes to play with something new ;) | 14:36 | |
| soundray | crusie: you are supposed to enable the backports repository, install wine from their and disable it again (unless you're courageous) | 14:36 |
| DroP-PsyChoSiS | i didnt flood the channel | 14:37 |
| soundray | crusie: go via System-Administration-Software Sources -- Updates tab. There is a tickbox for backports. | 14:37 |
| lance | no.. it is not showing shutdown & restart button ... | 14:37 |
| DroP-PsyChoSiS | so | 14:37 |

| Reformer81 | lance: You added the "Quit" applet? | 14:38 |
| soundray | crusie: close the dialog, let it update the package lists and install wine using your favorite package manager | 14:38 |
| crusie | which would be synaptic... I'm a windows man :( | 14:39 |
| CSills | I think they call if unrar | 14:39 |
| soundray | lance: are you a member of admin? Check with 'groups', it should list admin | 14:39 |
| dher | hello | 14:39 |
| Reformer81 | soundray: That shouldn't affect his ability to add a Quit applet to his panel, though. | 14:39 |
| dher | i have problems with wine, it dont sound when i am pplaying | 14:40 |
| Kill1 | Csills does it come with ubuntu package or do I have to download it ? | 14:40 |
| crusie | does this option with the backports go for update manager (system updater?) too ? | 14:40 |
| DroP-PsyChoSiS | soundray, i jst wanna know how to remove what i installed which was fglrxinfo :( after typing that in the terminal it said to me that i must type some other stuff to install it... so i did and i messed up my warcraft III graphics so i jst wanna remove it | 14:40 |
| soundray | Reformer81: he has a Quit applet on the panel. The dialog just doesn't show Restart and Shutdown | 14:40 |

| janbanan | Hey. Im trying to install my Creative SB X-FI Soundcard, but it absolutely won't work. I can't get through the install. Someone, help? | 14:41 |
| soundray | Reformer81: it does? I'm on the wrong track then | 14:41 |
| DroP-PsyChoSiS | im a noob | 14:41 |
| Reformer81 | soundray: Yeah, all the users on my system can do basically whatever they want in that dialog. | 14:41 |
| crusie | janbanan: I recently had the same soundcard.... my way of "fixing" it was to install an old sb LIVE! 5.1 instead | 14:42 |
| Reformer81 | janbanan: What do you mean by "install?" The actual hardware or the drivers? | 14:42 |
| crusie | using the xi-fi in my media center :P | 14:42 |
| janbanan | Reformer81: The drivers ;P | 14:42 |
| Reformer81 | janbanan: Just so I'm clear, you're not trying to install the drivers with the disc that came with the card, are you? | 14:42 |
| lance | so what will i do next | 14:43 |
| janbanan | crusie: in fact.. i have a sb live 5.1.. but it sucks. want to use the sb x-fi | 14:43 |
| janbanan | Reformer81: Nope. Sorry, im new to linux.. so.. I've downloaded the drivers from creative.com | 14:43 |
| crusie | janbanan: problem is that creative is pretty closed with their drivers... they hardly even support windows.. | 14:43 |
| WalloO | britt, libgl1-mesa-glx, nvidia-glx-new it's everything which is installed with glx | 14:44 |
| liuk94 | ciao a tutti | 14:44 |
| Reformer81 | janbanan: Those are Windows drivers, aren't they? | 14:44 |
| crusie | janbanan: did you download the linux or windows drivers=? | 14:44 |
| britt | WalloO: Yeah those do install, what module do I put in my xorg.conf | 14:44 |
| janbanan | Reformer81: no, its linux-drivers. betas ;p | 14:44 |
| Reformer81 | janbanan: It's a .run file? | 14:44 |
| janbanan | crusie: linux | 14:44 |
| britt | WalloO: obviously not nvidia....right? | 14:44 |
| Reformer81 | janbanan: And where is it going wrong with the installation? | 14:44 |
| britt | WalloO: nvidia_new | 14:44 |
| lance | is there any way to get the buttons back | 14:45 |
| janbanan | Reformer81: when i run the install-file. i'll show you the errormessage in pm | 14:45 |

| Reformer81 | janbanan: Double-check the creative website and see if it has other files you need to download. Looks like you just downloaded a script to automate the compiling of the drivers | 14:47 |
| janbanan | Reformer81: .. and that means? | 14:47 |
| hyperstream | to install wine 1.1.0 i need to download from site? cause i just apt-getted 0.9.59 | 14:48 |
| britt | WalloO: and under the 'Display' section of xorg.conf | 14:48 |
| Reformer81 | janbanan: Oh, sorry :). The file you downloaded isn't the actual drivers. It is just a script (like a .BAT file in DOS if you're familiar with that). Double-check the Creative website and make sure you get all the files you need. | 14:48 |

| minhaaj | sudo apt-get remove flashplugin-nonfree ? | 15:14 |
| will02 | my kernel keeps reporting "kernel: [18810.546376] CIFS VFS: Error 0xffffff90 on cifs_get_inode_info in lookup of /Music/S" when im connected to a hamachi vpn, to get it working again, it has to be restarted, i did some research on the problem, and it said it was a problem with the network card, but mine is fully supported | 15:14 |
| soundray | minhaaj: please try what I suggested | 15:14 |

| brightwebworks | Ubuntu is great | 15:25 |
| brightwebworks | wow..just installed it today and it got almost everything functioning on my laptop | 15:25 |
| minhaaj | yea it rocks bright | 15:25 |
| European-African | brightwebworks, its like that | 15:25 |
| minhaaj | welcome to real world :) | 15:25 |
| brightwebworks | Man, the wireless picked up without any configuration on my part. | 15:26 |
| brightwebworks | I didn't do anything and everything works. | 15:26 |
| hydroponic | nm, fixed by compiling it myself from an svn checkout | 15:26 |
| brightwebworks | The installation took less than 10 minutes. | 15:26 |
| soundray | !yay | brightwebworks | 15:26 |
| ubottu | brightwebworks: Glad you made it! :-) | 15:26 |
| unop | fLoOd`, afaik, a purge and install is not the same as a reinstall - some configuration files are unaffected in a reinstall (in aptitude atleast) | 15:26 |
| brightwebworks | It runs about 20 times faster than windows | 15:26 |
| minhaaj | and its free :) | 15:26 |
| xaustenx | 20 times faster and infinitely better** | 15:26 |
| unop | minhaaj, and what's happening to you ATM? | 15:27 |
| brightwebworks | The 3D effects also work look a champ | 15:27 |
| minhaaj | nothing unop | 15:27 |
| minhaaj | still trying to figure out | 15:27 |
| brightwebworks | so does Hibernate when I close the lid on my laptop | 15:27 |

| brightwebworks | The experience was so rewarding that I am switching from Windows XP to Ubuntu on my work computer. | 15:27 |

| ariel_ | brightwebworks, what laptop do you have? model is important. | 15:28 |

| soundray | minhaaj: so you installed via aptoncd | 15:28 |
| brightwebworks | I have a SONY PCG-GRT390ZP | 15:28 |
| unop | minhaaj, disable the CD repository and enable all the others | 15:28 |
| soundray | minhaaj: do what it says then | 15:28 |
| Hex_101 | minhaaj, disable it in the re. | 15:28 |
| brightwebworks | Ubuntu proved to be a 100% compatible with this model. | 15:28 |
| Hex_101 | never mind do what unop said :P | 15:28 |
| brightwebworks | Everything works without any effort on my part. | 15:29 |
| minhaaj | i have disabled it and restarted firefox it still is trying to access it | 15:29 |
| minhaaj | let me try again | 15:29 |
| soundray | minhaaj: you should either insert the aptoncd cd, or disable it through System-Administration-Software Sources | 15:29 |
| unop | minhaaj, i give up on you, you never do what we say and keep doing some random other thing | 15:29 |

| minhaaj | i have sound | 15:30 |
| minhaaj | thanks anyways unop. nice try. | 15:30 |
| brightwebworks | But what I loved about uBuntu is that before I even installed the entire OS I had the chance to test it to see how it would work. | 15:30 |
| soundray | minhaaj: if you're still getting that message, then you haven't | 15:30 |
| brightwebworks | Linux has never been this easy before. | 15:30 |
| soundray | minhaaj: or you haven't updated the package lists | 15:30 |
| minhaaj | i have do you need a screenshot now ? | 15:30 |
| minhaaj | i have let me try again soundray | 15:31 |

| fluffles | soundray, not that i know of. where should this backup be? | 15:36 |
| soundray | fluffles: /boot/grub/ | 15:36 |

| mako-dono | stabbyjoe12: there are proxy software that would access your hotmail account via http/s and forward emails to another address or fetch them to your local inbox | 15:39 |
| grulk | IdleOne, does samba will help me doing that to? | 15:39 |
| fluffles | soundray, the backup is the same file; all default and commented. my original menu.lst is gone, last time i saw it was in the compare dialog of the installer when it confronted me about menu.lst | 15:40 |
| benben_ | anyone knows how to set up dual screen display on ubuntu? | 15:40 |
| bazhang | !xinerama | 15:41 |
| ubottu | 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 | 15:41 |
| soundray | fluffles: assuming that you have mounted your root fs to /mnt, you should try rm'ing the faulty menu.lst. Then do a 'chroot /mnt bash' and create a new menu.lst with 'sudo update-grub' (follow the instructions) | 15:41 |
| bazhang | benben_, see /msg ubottu dualhead | 15:41 |
| saikor | if you're using an nvidia card. Use nvidia-settings | 15:41 |
| fluffles | soundray, okay | 15:41 |
| benben_ | bazhang, sorry im not really familiar with IRC chat...what's /msg ubottu dualhead? | 15:42 |
| soundray | benben_: it's a way to get the bot to send you a help message | 15:42 |
| bazhang | benben_, just type that where you type text and the bot will give you a pm | 15:43 |
| soundray | benben_: are you on 8.04? | 15:43 |

| grulk | hey guys, If I share the printer I would only need Cups or I will need Samba as well? | 15:43 |
| unop | dante123, remove "quiet splash" | 15:43 |
| soundray | dante123: no, just remove quiet (and splash to have textual output) | 15:43 |
| unop | grulk, both | 15:44 |
| dante123 | thanks soundray and unop | 15:44 |

| benben_ | soundray: intel 965 | 15:45 |
| sfire | Billll: the computer BIOS doesn't support CD booting? | 15:45 |
| Billll | indeed | 15:45 |
| Billll | a bit old | 15:45 |
| sfire | Billll: you normally have to change the boot order in BIOS | 15:45 |
| Billll | really | 15:45 |
| benben_ | soundray: I tracked down to the point that xrandr sends back error when my combined screen resolution is above 1024x1024 | 15:45 |
| Billll | that's it? | 15:45 |
| rocko_ | hey does ubuntu come with non free packages by default? | 15:45 |
| sfire | Billll: yes | 15:45 |
| Billll | so i place boot order of Cd drive on top? | 15:45 |
| bazhang | rocko_, no | 15:46 |
| sfire | yes | 15:46 |
| Billll | alright | 15:46 |
| soundray | benben_: are you using the intel or i810 driver? | 15:46 |
| Billll | I'm gonig a bit crazy over this I'll see if this works | 15:46 |
| benben_ | soundray_, yes i believe so | 15:46 |
| soundray | benben_: which one? | 15:47 |
| benben_ | soundray_: how can i check? | 15:47 |
| soundray | benben_: look through /var/log/Xorg.0.log | 15:47 |
| rocko_ | bazhang, so same goes for the other ubuntu's like kubuntu, xubuntu, and edubuntu..etc right? | 15:47 |
| bazhang | rocko_, yes but easily added | 15:47 |
| rocko_ | bazhang, ok cool cause I want only free software gnu | 15:48 |
| Billll | alright | 15:48 |
| minhaaj | ok i installed flash plugin through terminal, but i still won't play | 15:49 |
| minhaaj | there seems to be a conflict between existing plugins, any idea what it could be ? | 15:49 |
| astro_ | ahoj | 15:49 |
| benben_ | soundray_: well Xorg.0.log is a huge file I have not much idea where to look for | 15:49 |
| Billll | Sfire: I made Cd first priority and it's still making A: drive first priority | 15:50 |
| soundray | minhaaj: your pastebin suggested no conflicts | 15:50 |
| minhaaj | i am zapped | 15:50 |
| sfire | Billll: did you save it? | 15:50 |
| minhaaj | wat do i do ? :s | 15:50 |
| unop | find /usr/lib/{firefox,mozilla}/plugins/ -iname "*flash*" | 15:50 |
| soundray | benben_: there should be lots and lots of lines beginning (after the (II) ) with the name of the driver (intel, i810 or vesa) | 15:50 |
| minhaaj | it wasn't there last time i check, let me retry | 15:51 |
| net_ninja | hello, I am trying to install ubuntu on an old ibm thinkpad with a 500mhz celeron, and I keep getting an acpi or some junk, CD error when I try to do an intall or a live cd run, any ideas | 15:51 |
| Billll | Sfire: no i didn't but in the order of prioritys Cd was first | 15:51 |
| net_ninja | I already update the bios with the most recent i could find on ibm crappy website | 15:51 |
| bazhang | net_ninja, what about alternate cd | 15:51 |
| sfire | Billll: are you sure you burned the CD correctly? | 15:51 |
| m1r | net_ninja: use alternate cd for older pc, xubuntu is recomended | 15:51 |
| minhaaj | unop yes it under /usr/lib/flashplugin-nonfree/ | 15:51 |
| benben_ | soundray_: I believe there is this intel.dvr module that's loaded but let me read the file ... | 15:51 |
| Billll | I burned CD is .iso | 15:52 |
| minhaaj | libflashplayer.so | 15:52 |
| soundray | net_ninja: try with the acpi=force kernel option (hit F6 at the boot screen) | 15:52 |
| sfire | Billll: but did you burn it as an image.. or just put the .iso on the disc? | 15:52 |
| minhaaj | but not in the plugins folder of firefox 3 ... shall i copy paste ? | 15:52 |
| Billll | and to check to see if it's a bootable CD I took CD out and bput it back in and it automatically booted in windows | 15:52 |
| net_ninja | ok cool I will try the altnate and the force kernel. | 15:52 |
| net_ninja | thx guys | 15:52 |

| net_ninja | k | 15:53 |
| benben_ | soundray_: sorry | 15:53 |
| Billll | Sfire: did I do this correctly? | 15:53 |
| dolags32128 | is there a way to show thumbnails in an open file dialog box? | 15:53 |
| sfire | Billll: it doesn't sound like it from what I'm hearing | 15:53 |
| Billll | Sfire: that's what I did to chekc to see if it was bootable | 15:53 |
| minhaaj | ./usr/lib/mozilla or /usr/lib/mozilla/plugins ? | 15:54 |
| soundray | benben_: you're using the right driver. I don't know why you don't get dualhead config through Preferences-Screen Resolution -- it works fine with the same chipset here | 15:54 |
| Billll | alright hhmm | 15:54 |
| sfire | if the other machine wouldn't boot off it either then its probably not bootable | 15:54 |
| Billll | Sfire: I am using a program called imgburn | 15:54 |
| soundray | benben_: is your system a fresh install or an upgrade from gutsy? | 15:54 |

| benben_ | soundray_: I have a maximum resolutiion at 1024x1024 | 15:55 |
| minhaaj | gotta reboot ? | 15:55 |
| benben_ | soundray_: but it's supposed to be 2048x2048 | 15:56 |
| sfire | Billll: do you have Nero? if so burn it using that.. if not get the demo version | 15:56 |
| unop | minhaaj, rebooting is seldom necessary with linux | 15:56 |
| Billll | alright | 15:56 |
| Billll | I'll get demo nero | 15:56 |
| minhaaj | i mean browsser | 15:56 |
| minhaaj | and btw it still won't work | 15:56 |
| fluffles | soundray: i did as you said, grub now added boot options for my partitions, but when i choose them i get Error 17: Cannot mount selected partition, and grub falls back to the menu again. i fixed it now by editing (hd0,0) to (hd0,1). its booting linux now =) thanks! | 15:56 |
| soundray | benben_: perhaps it's not detecting your screen capabilities correctly. Have a look with gksudo displayconfig-gtk | 15:56 |
| sfire | Billll: also burn it at 4x | 15:56 |
| minhaaj | i noticed there is a flashplugin-alternative.so | 15:56 |
| soundray | !yay | fluffles | 15:56 |
| ubottu | fluffles: Glad you made it! :-) | 15:56 |
| minhaaj | could it be the problem ? | 15:56 |
| sfire | Billll: I've seen TONS of problems from burning too fast | 15:56 |

| unop | minhaaj, | 15:58 |
| minhaaj | i uninstalled gnash. let me see if its still there | 15:58 |

| Gaming4JC | any other place I can get some packages for Ubuntu, on an Windows computer | 16:06 |
| sfire | Billll: did you download the image using FTP? | 16:06 |
| Gaming4JC | I was going to carry it over to my Ubuntu from a thumb drive... | 16:06 |
| sfire | Billll: if so you should check your image also | 16:06 |

| Billll | Sfire: priv chat? | 16:13 |

| rocko_ | bazhang, see http://www.gnu.org/software/gnuzilla/ | 16:14 |

| rocko_ | I know but I want 8.0.4 though | 16:14 |
| Billll | aahh okay | 16:14 |
| sfire | Billll: a way to make sure your image is complete.. it checks for corruption | 16:14 |

| spiritssight | Can someone please point me the right direction for help with installing rpm on a gnome system | 16:15 |
| rocko_ | bazhang, it can use gnash | 16:15 |

| Stormx2 | Caesi: It's fairly straight forward. GTK themes are usually packages as a .tar.gz, is that the format you have it in? | 16:45 |

Help! | 17:41 |
| Linuxkeitaro | I clicked on hardware drivers while waiting for your response and I saw that the ATI driver is not in use | 17:42 |
| ikonia | Amir_: because you need the menu.lst on the deleted partition for grub to work | 17:42 |
| Linuxkeitaro | should that matter? | 17:42 |
| DIL_VBOX | fixmbr | 17:42 |
| ikonia | Amir_: I suggest you either re-install grub, or re-install the vista bootloader | 17:42 |

| amenado | munk_-> try to paste it in pastebin, will give it a shot | 17:43 |

| ikonia | Amir_: download and burn off the livecd then | 17:45 |
| Amir_ | ikonia: can I reinstall grub without reinstalling ubuntu? | 17:45 |
| Linuxkeitaro | a little update icon | 17:45 |
| ikonia | Amir_: no, you can't re-install grub as there will still be no partition for the menu.lst to exist on | 17:45 |
| MrLinux | I have a question, there is a application that will costumize the bash ? I mean for every user I create.. to make it colored | 17:45 |
| ikonia | Amir_: I suggest you download and burn the 8.04 cd from the 7.10 livecd | 17:46 |
| amenado | daYZman-w-> its sudo iwlist wlan0 scan <-- i used wlan0, replaced it with your correct interface name maybe eth0? ath0? eth1 ? | 17:46 |
| ``Cube | Linuxkeitaro: yea, but it's not always fast, sometimes takes weeks for ubuntu rep to get the latest, OR AM I WRONG (I MIGHT BE WRONG INDEED, PLEASE HELP ME THEN) | 17:46 |
| ikonia | MrLinux: that can be done in users .profile | 17:46 |
| Kohlrak | i had to force close nautilus, now i can't save anything and certain programs are freezing. I typed a crap load of stuff that i didn't save, is there any way to fixthis without rebooting? | 17:46 |
| Amir_ | ikonia: ok, last question before I do that...can I reinstall the vista bootloader somehow? | 17:46 |
| ikonia | ``Cube: there is no need for cas lock | 17:46 |
| ikonia | Amir_: sure, but why go to the effort if you don't need to | 17:46 |
| MrLinux | ikonia : But I want to make it by default | 17:46 |
| MrLinux | ikonia : for every user | 17:46 |
| DIL_VBOX | with XP you would boot to safe mode and do fixmbr - google fixmber vista see what you get | 17:46 |
| Linuxkeitaro | ``Cube - most distros don't have the absolute latest - they need to test for stability first | 17:46 |
| ``Cube | ikonia: sorry, that was unintended! | 17:46 |
| ikonia | MrLinux: what sort of customisation ? | 17:46 |
| ikonia | DIL_VBOX: same in vista | 17:46 |
| Amir_ | ikonia: (also, I just really want to make sure vista still works, because I've got some important files there that I didn't backup!) | 17:47 |
| MrLinux | ikonia : I want to make it colored | 17:47 |
| ikonia | Amir_: then I still suggest you use ubuntu to mount the partition to check the vista data | 17:47 |
| ``Cube | Linuxkeitaro: alright! so, about how much time after official release is the package marked as update? | 17:47 |
| ``Cube | usually? | 17:47 |
| ikonia | MrLinux: in what way coloured ? | 17:47 |
| JuJuBee | I tried using knetworkmanager to connect, I now have an accesspoint MAC, but stull says unassociated | 17:47 |
| daYZman-w | amenado, how do i find out which interface name the wlan is using? | 17:47 |
| Amir_ | how do I do that? | 17:47 |
| amenado | munk_-> from your paste line 5 iwl3945: Microcode SW error detected. Restarting 0x82000008. <-- seems like iwl3945 driver is faulty with your nic card | 17:47 |
| ikonia | Amir_: boot the ubuntu livecd - visit places in the gnome menu and you should see your vist disk | 17:47 |
| Linuxkeitaro | ok, so I can login to FAILSAFE Gnome and get to a desktop - but still no regular Gnome | 17:48 |
| ikonia | Amir_: however, as your in the livecd anyway, why not download and butn 8.04 | 17:48 |
| amenado | daYZman-w-> try sudo iwconfig and it should list which wireless interfaces you have | 17:48 |
| MrLinux | ikonia : what do you mean ? I just simply want to make 'example@server:~' colored | 17:48 |
| Linuxkeitaro | I just turned on fglrx to see if that helps | 17:48 |
| ikonia | Linuxkeitaro: I suspect your video card drivers are the issue | 17:48 |
| munk_ | amenado, and what can i do? | 17:48 |
| Kohlrak | Amir_, be careful........ it is very hard to get to linux from a MS mbr | 17:48 |
| Linuxkeitaro | ikonia: we'll see now if enablings fglrx helps at all | 17:48 |
| ikonia | MrLinux: then modify the default .bashrc | 17:48 |
| Amir_ | ikonia: uh oh...I'm in the the live cd and it's not detecting the vista disk | 17:48 |
| JuJuBee | ikonia : if iwconfig shows the access point MAC, does that mean it associated? | 17:48 |
| ikonia | JuJuBee: no | 17:49 |
| Amir_ | kohlrak: what do you suggest? | 17:49 |
| Linuxkeitaro | there we go - that did it | 17:49 |
| Linuxkeitaro | :) | 17:49 |
| amenado | munk_-> look around for a good driver, google for it, iwl3945 see what others have as problem and solutions | 17:49 |
| equiv | how can i get 3D acceleration to work with a nvidia gefoce 440 4 go? | 17:49 |
| daYZman-w | amenado, i see. i only have lo and eth0, both have no wireless extensions. | 17:49 |
| Linuxkeitaro | boo for proprietary drivers, but yay for you guys including them so the desktop would actually load up | 17:49 |
| haggis | Hi! How do I keep aptitude from removing packages that are unused? | 17:49 |
| JuJuBee | Don't know why it wont associate. I never had trouble before I went to this conference and used their wifi. | 17:49 |
| Kohlrak | Amir_, the current boot loader should allow you to use vista... if it doesn't, you may have accidentally deleted vista | 17:49 |
| munk_ | amenado, yeah im doing that now and im trying to find a solution, at least now i know where the problem is...thanks | 17:49 |
| JuJuBee | What can I try to fix? | 17:49 |
| ikonia | Kohlrak: thats not what he's doing - don't worry | 17:49 |
| Kohlrak | I heard vista is a pain with dual boot machines | 17:49 |
| ikonia | Amir_: download ubuntu 8.04 and it will all work | 17:50 |
| LSD|Ninja | I don't know what driver is on the CD but Ubuntu supported the Intel 3945 without any trouble for me in 8.04 | 17:50 |
| ikonia | Kohlrak: nah, straight forward | 17:50 |
| MrLinux | ikonia : if I modify the .bashrc for root, all users will have the same ? | 17:50 |
| amenado | daYZman-w-> then you dont have your wireless activated, get a working driver for it..if it is bcm43xx type of chips, i cant help you on that, i lost far too many hair troubleshooting that | 17:50 |
| Amir_ | kohlrak, ikonia: oh, wait, if I go into computer on the live cd it detects the vista drive | 17:50 |
| Amir_ | and I can access my files | 17:50 |
| ikonia | MrLinux: no, root is not the default user | 17:50 |
| Amir_ | does that mean reinstalling ubuntu will fix it for sure? | 17:50 |
| MrLinux | ikonia : the sudo user ? | 17:50 |
| amenado | munk_-> you're welcome, i wish i could be more of help.. | 17:50 |
| LSD|Ninja | Linuxkeitaro: including the hardware drivers control panel was one of the best things Ubuntu ever did | 17:50 |
| Kohlrak | Amir_, yea... It doesn't lable the drives ABCD and so forth. | 17:50 |
| fok|zz | how can i get the sound blaster x-fi to work i got the drivers, i just dont kow how to install them they have an installer and a tar.bz2 | 17:50 |
| ikonia | MrLinux: no - /etc/skel is the skel directory, update in there, then any new users will get that bashrc in their home dir | 17:51 |
| amenado | LSD|Ninja-> perhaps you can assist munk_ he's having difficulty with it | 17:51 |
| bakarat | i'm running 7.10 with kernel 2.6.22 it seems, it is possible to update this to 2.6.24/25? | 17:51 |
| Linuxkeitaro | LSD|Ninja - I agree | 17:51 |
| bakarat | (truecrypt is complaining) | 17:51 |
| Linuxkeitaro | plus, now my wife's aunt won't have to deal with virii anymore! | 17:51 |
| Kohlrak | is there an equivalent to "start-> run" in linux? | 17:51 |
| daYZman-w | amenado, right, i think it is. | 17:51 |
| AlphaXero | alt+f2? | 17:51 |
| bakarat | Kohlrak: alt+F2 i believe | 17:51 |
| ``Cube | Kohlrak: the terminal | 17:51 |
| fok|zz | how can i get the sound blaster x-fi to work i got the drivers, i just dont kow how to install them they have an installer and a tar.bz2 | 17:51 |
| ikonia | Kohlrak: alt+f2 | 17:51 |
| Linuxkeitaro | I installed the 'buntu because she had 40 cpu viruses on WinXP | 17:52 |
| Kohlrak | i can't use the termninal, that's why i need this | 17:52 |
| Kohlrak | thank you | 17:52 |
| fok|zz | any help with that ? | 17:52 |
| Linuxkeitaro | and this isnt' the first time it's happened | 17:52 |
| ``Cube | fok|zz: it doesn't work, I got that too :( | 17:52 |
| bakarat | Kohlrak: you can't use the terminal? :| | 17:52 |
| JuJuBee | ikonia : it seems to have noticed that I changed channels (freq) but still wont associate. | 17:52 |
| amenado | daYZman-w-> good luck, there are some here that are able to make that bcm43xx work though | 17:52 |
| LSD|Ninja | amenado: all I know is what happened when I booted the desktop CD on my sisters Lenovo (which I'd fitted an Intel wireless card into in place of the original broadcom), I haven't really played around with it as much as the Atheros cards I ususally use | 17:52 |
| Kohlrak | bakarat, no i can't | 17:52 |
| bakarat | Kohlrak: why not? | 17:52 |
| fok|zz | CUBE - > so what do i need to do install onboard ? | 17:52 |
| ikonia | JuJuBee: just use iwconfig to set the correct parameters | 17:52 |
| Linuxkeitaro | that reminds me do any of the packages - such as mplayer-mozplugin play wmv files in Firefox? | 17:52 |
| Kohlrak | something went wrong with the hard drive after i opened so many files | 17:52 |
| bakarat | anyone? kernel 2.6.24/25 in ubuntu 7.10, how does one do it? | 17:52 |
| AlphaXero | also if you want a general app launcher try GnomeDo. Its not quite as polished as Quicksilver but it works | 17:52 |
| Kohlrak | i hadto force close nautilus | 17:52 |
| tim_ | trying to update and getting: http://pastie.org/228200, can anyone help? | 17:53 |
| ikonia | bakarat: dont do it | 17:53 |
| amenado | LSD|Ninja-> oh well, i did direct munk to look aroung google for solutions... | 17:53 |
| bakarat | ikonia: but truecrypt is complaining that with kernels prior to 2.6.24, my system may freeze up randomly on writing :( | 17:53 |
| ``Cube | fok|zz: there is no way to get these drivers working, I got that soundcard as well, tried _anything_, but nothing worked, had even to reinstall ubuntu because it ****ed something up | 17:53 |
| chjunior | how do I upgrade edubuntu from 6.06 to 8.04? | 17:53 |
| LSD|Ninja | chjunior: just let the update manager handle it | 17:53 |
| AlphaXero | anyway, i dropped in to see whether anyone else was experiencing random gnome crashes | 17:53 |
| ikonia | bakarat: but ubuntu 7.10 is not built around that kernel, so will complain a lot more | 17:53 |
| ``Cube | chjunior: exactly | 17:53 |
| burdenx | hi, i tried to install some new panel applets, but when i go to "Add to panel" , I can't find them in there, they don't appear, I only have what came installed with my ubuntu, any idea? | 17:53 |
| bakarat | ikonia: is there an alternative (and preferably as easy) way to encrypt a partition in ubuntu? | 17:54 |
| chjunior | LSD|Ninja: it didnt't, I think | 17:54 |
| amenado | tim_-> open up your /etc/apt/sources.list and remove the duplicates? | 17:54 |
| ``Cube | burdenx: which panels? | 17:54 |
| ikonia | bakarat: run the risk | 17:54 |
| carpediem | tim_: you have both feisty and gutsy in your sources.list | 17:54 |
| LSD|Ninja | chjunior: unless you tell it otherwise the update manager will only prompt you for new LTS releases | 17:54 |
| tim_ | amenado: o.k. that is all -- i just have some duplicates | 17:54 |
| burdenx | ``Cube, the normal panels i have on my desktop, top and bottom panel | 17:54 |
| carpediem | tim_: that's not a good thing | 17:54 |
| tim_ | carpediem: thanks, i'll fix that | 17:54 |
| DroP-PsyChoSiS | Anyone can u pls help me get a higher refresh rate in ubuntu?? i used refreshlock in windows but now i dont know what to use :/ | 17:54 |
| Kohlrak | is there a way to access the terminal without the terminal window or alt + f2 in gnome and without rebooting? XD | 17:54 |
| ``Cube | burdenx: yea, but what did you install | 17:54 |
| carpediem | tim_: just put a # in front of the feisty ones if you are running gutsy | 17:55 |
| LSD|Ninja | DroP-PsyChoSiS: try displayconfig-gtk | 17:55 |
| ikonia | Kohlrak: why can't you use a terminal or alt+f2 | 17:55 |
| tim_ | i think i am running gutsy | 17:55 |
| LSD|Ninja | DroP-PsyChoSiS: you have to run it in a terminal, probably with sudo | 17:55 |
| burdenx | ``Cube, i installed a couple of applets from here http://www.ubuntu-unleashed.com/2008/05/some-gnome-panel-applets-you-may-not.html | 17:55 |
| JuJuBee | ikonia : I turned off security (wep) so I left out those lines. I still cannot get a lease. | 17:55 |
| carpediem | tim_: sudo gedit /etc/apt/sources.list | 17:55 |
| Beererde | hi. something keeps overwriting my motd, what can i do??? | 17:55 |
| amenado | tim_-> yeah, do not mix the repository sources..just pick one that matchers yours | 17:55 |
| Kohlrak | alt+f2 isn't working, and terminal was busted when i force closed nautilus for freezing. Trying to get into a terminal to find why the heck nothin'gs working | 17:55 |
| ikonia | JuJuBee: check all your settings | 17:55 |
| LSD|Ninja | DroP-PsyChoSiS: resolution selection has been a weak point in X for years though, don't hold your breath | 17:55 |
| tim_ | not sure how they got mixed . . . | 17:55 |
| ikonia | Kohlrak: a terminal should not be effected by nautlius | 17:56 |
| burdenx | ``Cube, GNOME IP display applet and Bubbling Load Monitoring | 17:56 |
| Beererde | DroP-PsyChoSiS: have a crt? | 17:56 |
| ikonia | Kohlrak: if your desktop has hung ctrl+ald+backspace will reset your desktop | 17:56 |
| JuJuBee | ikonia : iwconfig eth1 shows correct ESSID, Mode, Freq, AP... but wont get a lease | 17:56 |
| Kohlrak | ikonia, some how it was | 17:56 |
| ``Cube | burdenx: did you try killing and restarting gnome panel? | 17:56 |
| amenado | Beererde-> remove the write perms for other than root? | 17:56 |
| tannji | can anyone help me configure Pulse Audio? I get sound indicated in volume meters, but no sound to speakers | 17:56 |
| burdenx | ``Cube, no, how can i do that? | 17:56 |
| Kohlrak | well, ikonia, i'm trying to save, now, alot of typing i did, but even gedit got hung | 17:56 |
| ikonia | JuJuBee: so that looks quite reasonable, is your wirless router your dhcp server, or is that another machine | 17:56 |
| JuJuBee | Yes | 17:56 |
| ikonia | Kohlrak: if your desktop has hung - it's gone | 17:56 |
| Amir_ | ikonia: what does the trouble of reinstalling the vista bootloader involve? | 17:57 |
| Beererde | amenado: i set it to read only... but i could try that aswell | 17:57 |
| tc111 | between kernel 2.6....-16 and 19, my password is no longer accepted for my encrypted LVM (/, /home, swap). 16 work fine, 18 & 19 do not. Any idea how to correct this problem? | 17:57 |
| Kohlrak | ok, thanks anyway | 17:57 |
| kthakore | /j #c++ | 17:57 |
| ikonia | JuJuBee: can you stick ifconfig -a and iwconfig in a pastebin please. | 17:57 |
| Kohlrak | Amir_, no access to linux XD | 17:57 |
| JuJuBee | sure | 17:57 |
| Beererde | tc111: checked keyboard layout? | 17:57 |
| ikonia | Amir_: just a bit of messing around, why do you want to bother with this, re-installing ubuntu as you said you plan to do will resolve this quick | 17:57 |
| tc111 | Beererde: why? | 17:57 |
| Beererde | tc111: maybe the newer kernel has another keyboard map | 17:58 |
| ikonia | Beererde: nope | 17:58 |
| burdenx | ``Cube, killall gnome-panel ? | 17:58 |
| DIL_VBOX | Amir_, listen to the man | 17:58 |
| Bill_MI | AlphaXero, can gnome-do take over launching *.desktop files to get around a bug? It would have to get the URL out of file. | 17:58 |
| tc111 | Beererde: would it choose a different map when upgrading using aptitude or the update-manager? | 17:58 |
| Beererde | tc111: no.. | 17:58 |
| burdenx | ``Cube, Thanks a lot, worked :D | 17:59 |
| Amir_ | ikonia: mostly becase I have a project I was working on that is due tomorrow and it's in vista... I just wanna get in there fast and deal with reinstalling ubuntu later | 17:59 |
| AlphaXero | So Gnome random restarts on me and every time I return from Suspend my sound is gone. If anyone has ideas please let me know :-) | 17:59 |
| AlphaXero | i'm not sure bill | 17:59 |
| rand0m | i was running gdesklets yesterday but i seem to have closed all of the desklets i was using to save resources - the gdesklet still appears in the tray and there's nothing happens when i left or right click it.. what do i do ? | 17:59 |
| tc111 | Beererde: ok, i'm game for another suggestion... | 17:59 |
| ikonia | Amir_: so why don't you say this instead of dragging this out - just say "i'm not re-installing ubuntu, I need to use vista now" | 17:59 |
| amenado | tc111-> thats a risk with encryption, you have to make sure you have a backup before doing any upgrades or else..you'd get a deadweight.. | 17:59 |
| ikonia | Amir_: boot from a windows vista CD, drop into rescue mode and use "fixboot" options as DIL_VBOX suggested earlier | 18:00 |
| Beererde | tc111: are you sure it just not accepts the password, or does it maybe not load a driver correctly? | 18:00 |

| Amir_ | ikonia: thank you...I'm sorry for the trouble | 18:01 |
| ikonia | Amir_: it's no trouble | 18:01 |
| JuJuBee | ikonia : yes, how to fix? | 18:01 |
| tc111 | amenado: alway have fresh backup, cron rsync every 4 hours to a truecrypt volume on SD card | 18:01 |

| Amir_ | k, wish me luck | 18:02 |
| amenado | tc111-> well , you have to go back to the old kernel(s) and recover, and then troubleshoot why the upgrades causes the inability to decrypt | 18:02 |
| JuJuBee | amenado : http://paste.ubuntu.com/25223/ | 18:03 |
| grobda24 | anabelle ... why are you using PPPOECONF ? Why not use the network setup ? | 18:03 |
| tc111 | Beererde: good question.... not sure, when i switch to a different terminal, it says the passphrase is not correct, but that could be because it doesn't know what to do with it if a driver is missing... where would i check | 18:03 |
| Linuxkeitaro | I love the concept of meta-packages | 18:03 |

| Bill_MI | Hi folks. Starting in Hardy, URLs passed from *.desktop files to Firefox are truncated at the "?". Does anyone know where these *.desktop files are handled? | 18:03 |
| AlphaXero | is there an app that monitors all apps for crashes and compiles a report if there is one? | 18:03 |
| Linuxkeitaro | also, very awesome graphics on the desktop effects. I'm just talkinga bout teh basic default stuff not compiz | 18:03 |
| Linuxkeitaro | I have 8.04 on my laptop, but teh graphics card is too wimpy for that stuff | 18:04 |
| tc111 | Beererde: i have another notebook configured the same and it had no issues with the upgrades (diffs: amd vs. intel [both x86_64]) | 18:04 |
| anabelle | grobda24 what is the network setup? | 18:04 |
| Linuxkeitaro | and so this is the first time I saw like the firefox logo bleeding out when I click on it on the panel | 18:04 |

| JuJuBee | amenado : any ideas? | 18:05 |
| tc111 | Beererde: searched launchpad and didn't find anything relevant | 18:05 |
| SnowRaptor | My friend is having problems with his realtek 8197 | 18:05 |
| amenado | JuJuBee-> that looks okay, now compare what you have in /lib/firmware/ and /lib/modules/`uname -r`/kernel/wireless to see if they are the same drivers. | 18:05 |
| SnowRaptor | he loads the module, DMESG says " usbcore: registered new interface driver rtl8187" but no wlan0 appears | 18:05 |

| ianliu_88 | SeaPhor: Ive tried... but ubuntu seems to not recognize it as a window | 18:06 |
| JuJuBee | amenado no such dir ... /kernel/wireless | 18:06 |
| amenado | ikonia i suspect the drivers is causing it not to associate..thats why i asked if he can compare.. | 18:06 |
| tc111 | Beererde: my passphrase is in proper sentence form with spaces and punctuation | 18:07 |
| ikonia | amenado: its worked in the past - it's not the drives, he's been on someone elses network which has changed his default setup | 18:07 |
| SeaPhor | ianliu_88, try ctrl+alt+d? NOT Delete , just "d" | 18:07 |
| amenado | JuJuBee-> maybe it is /lib/modules/`uname -r`/ubuntu or some kind of variations to hold your ipw220 driver | 18:07 |
| tc111 | Beererde: no freaky-odd hieroglyphs | 18:07 |
| Beererde | tc111: hmm, i doubt it does not load a driver, since it seems to check if the password is correct... | 18:07 |
| ianliu_88 | SeaPhor: hmm let me try | 18:08 |
| amenado | ikonia ah okay..didnt know that | 18:08 |
| redhat89 | I have a question about the wireless manager | 18:08 |
| redhat89 | in ubuntu | 18:08 |
| redhat89 | my friend made hers disappear by removing it from startup | 18:08 |
| redhat89 | how can she get it back? | 18:08 |
| Beererde | tc111: but i remember searching totally wrong places in similar situations and in the end it just was swapped z/x keys | 18:08 |
| ikonia | amenado: hence why downing the interfaces, using iwconfig to set the parameters correctly, and then bringing it up should reset it | 18:08 |
| ikonia | amenado: there are known bugs with encyption on/off for the intel cards and the gnome setup tool | 18:09 |
| munk_ | amenado, its been working now...i dunno i hope it keeps it up...thanks again | 18:09 |
| ianliu_88 | SeaPhor: no luck... the program is running, as I can see in the system monitor.. | 18:09 |
| JuJuBee | amenado : ls /lib/firmware/ == 2.6.20-17-generic 2.6.22-15-generic 2.6.24-19-generic | 18:09 |

| tc111 | Beererde: if it were a missing driver, how would i recreate an initrd.img for kernel -19 while running under kernel -16? | 18:09 |
| Beererde | tc111: you could try and set up a new crypted volume with password "123" and check with both kernels | 18:09 |
| SeaPhor | ianliu_88, did you run a cmd to start it? | 18:09 |
| Beererde | tc111: if it does not work with the new, file a bug report | 18:09 |
| Beererde | tc111: there should be an initrd in the repos | 18:10 |
| ikonia | Beererde: initrd is genererated at kernel instrall | 18:10 |
| ikonia | install | 18:10 |
| amenado | JuJuBee-> per ikonia, you'rs work before hand, i didnt realize that..anyhow, i suggest to look at those just for comparisons, uname -r would tell you your current kernel you are using | 18:10 |
| Beererde | ikonia: then he should have one | 18:10 |

| tc111 | Beererde: not a bad thing if it works | 18:11 |
| amenado | tc111-> do you have an entry in your /etc/security/pam_mount.conf for encrypting such volume? perhaps take a look? | 18:11 |
| Beererde | tc111: to what stage does it boot? best thing would be to check the kernel log | 18:12 |
| tc111 | amenado: would they be different files between -16 and -19? | 18:12 |
| tc111 | amenado: -16 works just fine and always has | 18:12 |
| redhat89 | can anyone help? | 18:13 |
| amenado | tc111-> i would think you must insert the specific line for each volume you wanted to encrypt/decrypt | 18:13 |

| JuJuBee | No encrytion | 18:15 |
| SamusMan | I am having trouble with my wireless...I seem to have no wlan. iwconfig does not list a wlan and sudo ifconfig wlan up results in a no such device error. I read that wireless could also be eth1, and I don't have that either. | 18:15 |

| ikonia | JuJuBee: and your home network is no encyption ? | 18:16 |
| JuJuBee | Now it does not. | 18:16 |
| JuJuBee | I usually use it | 18:16 |
| ikonia | JuJuBee: ok, so lets take a quick step back | 18:16 |

| ikonia | JuJuBee: your %100 certain YOUR ap is now using no encyption | 18:16 |
| JuJuBee | Yes | 18:16 |

| ikonia | JuJuBee: lets stop all networking on your laptop for a moment then, sudo /etc/init.d/networking stop | 18:17 |
| amenado | JuJuBee-> use a nick before your responses so it would not be confusing.. | 18:17 |

| ikonia | JuJuBee: your not going to like this, but I think you'd benifit from a reboot, it looks like your drive is hung/locked | 18:31 |
| spoon_man | arunvkumar, deb is just an install wrapper around the file -- the content within the package can't be changed from 64-bit to 32-bit | 18:31 |
| x3 | mmm | 18:31 |
| arunvkumar | use chees | 18:31 |
| ikonia | JuJuBee: it can happen | 18:31 |
| JuJuBee | ikonia : how can you tell? | 18:31 |
| mindrape | pull up a terminal. cd /etc/X11 sudo nano xorg.conf make the changes you want and save. You should probably create a backup of the file first incase you eff it up. sudo cp xorg.conf xorg.conf.backup | 18:31 |
| Bill_MI | CostaRicanQuake, No. Linux is not running so you can only see the drives and all their data. | 18:32 |
| ikonia | JuJuBee: I'm making an assumption, based on the fact that your eth1:avhi interface has an interface | 18:32 |
| ikonia | JuJuBee: has an ip address sorry | 18:32 |
| x3 | antivirus (I know the argument but I rather wack one on anywho | 18:32 |

| CostaRicanQuake | so i can get grub to run again? | 18:32 |
| Bill_MI | CostaRicanQuake, I never tried WUBI | 18:32 |
| ikonia | arunvkumar: its quite a lot of work - what software package is it | 18:32 |
| DIL | CostaRicanQuake: download helix or knoppix 5.1 | 18:32 |
| tc111 | amenado, Beererde: ok, zcat'd both -16 and -19 initrd.img files and they are different, running diffs on a few of the files to see what's different between them... brb... | 18:32 |
| JuJuBee | ikonia : the eth1:avahi is a 169.254.x.x address (default when cannot find one) I use 192 at home and work | 18:33 |
| arunvkumar | nobdys answering me | 18:33 |
| arunvkumar | ??????? | 18:33 |
| ikonia | JuJuBee: ok - just checking | 18:33 |
| arunvkumar | hellooooooooooooooo | 18:33 |
| ikonia | arunvkumar: I've answered you 3 times | 18:33 |
| spoon_man | arunvkumar, scroll up, I gave you your answer | 18:33 |
| Bill_MI | CostaRicanQuake, WUBI is an install in Windows. It doesn't access another install. | 18:33 |
| JuJuBee | ikonia : still reboot? | 18:33 |
| ikonia | arunvkumar: what software package are you trying to get 64 bit | 18:33 |
| x3 | arunkuvar what is the question | 18:33 |
| JuJuBee | ikonia : I have tried rebooting a couple of times. | 18:33 |
| ikonia | JuJuBee: I would to get a "known" platform, plus now you've used iwconfig to force the correct settings | 18:33 |
| |WolF1 | Question:when i do sudo apt-get update , and after that sudo apt-get install , i receive this E: Sub-process /usr/bin/dpkg returned an error code (1) can any one help me | 18:33 |
| CostaRicanQuake | then how do i get grub again? | 18:33 |
| ikonia | JuJuBee: it sounds like a cop out, but it's not, you've forced some new settings on to it | 18:33 |
| JuJuBee | Ok, I will reboot and come back... | 18:33 |
| JuJuBee | brb | 18:34 |
| ikonia | JuJuBee: I'll be here | 18:34 |
| Beererde | CostaRicanQuake: install wubi, start it, install grub | 18:34 |
| Beererde | CostaRicanQuake: if you have no cd | 18:34 |
| bakarat | is 8.04 workable yet? :) | 18:34 |
| Beererde | CostaRicanQuake: you can install wubi with daemon tools without cd | 18:34 |
| bakarat | or should i lay off on upgrading? | 18:34 |
| amenado | bakarat ye... workable on which platform? | 18:35 |
| arunvkumar | clear | 18:35 |
| spoon_man | bakarat, workable? | 18:35 |
| spoon_man | 8.04 is pretty solid | 18:35 |
| bakarat | amenado: spoon_man well when 8.04 first came out there were a lot of complaints (including from just bout every of my friends who upgraded) | 18:35 |
| x3 | bakarat 8.04 is very workable and has had kernel update to address vulnerabilities | 18:35 |
| Bill_MI | Beererde, does WUBI access an existing install? I thought it was its own Windows install. | 18:35 |
| spoon_man | bakarat, 8.04 does seem to have some issues with wifi | 18:35 |
| arunvkumar | ubuntu is not detecting my modem | 18:35 |
| amenado | bakarat do a fresh install, i would not recommend upgrade... | 18:35 |
| Beererde | Bill_MI: yes, but when it is running, you can install grub to the mbr | 18:36 |
| spoon_man | bakarat, and getting sound to work can be quirky | 18:36 |
| bakarat | amenado: i'd rather not... | 18:36 |
| arunvkumar | wht should i do/ | 18:36 |
| arunvkumar | ubuntu is not detecting my modem | 18:36 |
| arunvkumar | wht should i do/ | 18:36 |
| bakarat | spoon_man: those are indeed the problems they were complaining about | 18:36 |
| ikonia | arunvkumar: what make and model is it ? | 18:36 |
| amenado | bakarat it is your choice, you can have a separate partition to install this | 18:36 |
| Bill_MI | Thanks, Beererde | 18:36 |

| Fryguy-- | tim_: a lot of linux applications, if/when they break, will give you plenty of clues as to what is wrong. It's usually worthwhile to read the error messages yourself, as you can often resolve the issue without seeking more knowledgable people | 18:50 |

| RenatoSilva | Fryguy--: "If you have a reason to use 64-bit, go for it, otherwise use 32-bit". why? | 18:55 |
| jujub | Think it is because I pulled the plug before loggin out | 18:56 |
| amenado | RenatoSilva-> it is your choice, | 18:56 |
| RenatoSilva | AlphaXero: I thought 64-bit versions were faster? Are them? | 18:56 |
| Fryguy-- | RenatoSilva: because 32-bit is somewhat more stable than 64-bit, especially with windows wrapped driver support, and 64-bit doesn't give you anything beneficial for the most part. the only thing that affects standard users is the ability to use >= 4gb ram | 18:56 |
| Killer--Tux | laterz guy | 18:56 |
| AlphaXero | not expecially | 18:56 |
| Fryguy-- | RenatoSilva: for certain types of applications it is. in other situations 64-bit is slower | 18:57 |
| AlphaXero | at this stage there are more advantages to 32 bit | 18:57 |

| Fryguy-- | simps: i just read the new question | 19:04 |
| amenado | simps once more, what do you like to accomplish? just to issue a command to be run on a remote host? | 19:04 |
| ShackJack | a13x: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/BootFromUSB | 19:04 |
| masood | hi.. anyone know why some packages in ubuntu repository have a weird version scheme such as 4:3.5.9 ??? | 19:05 |
| jujub | ikonia & amenado : one last thought, when I tried to boot from the 8.04 live CD, I could not get this working either. | 19:05 |
| Sonistar | simps: isnt there a man? | 19:05 |
| simps | amenado, yes, essentially | 19:05 |
| slavi1 | RenatoSilva: ia32 == x86, amd64 == x86-64, ia64 is itanium ... | 19:05 |
| slavi1 | core2duo is amd64, not ia64 | 19:05 |
| RenatoSilva | does intel just use AMD technology on their 64-bit CPUs? | 19:05 |
| slavi1 | RenatoSilva: yes | 19:05 |
| amenado | simps okay then make sure the command you are issuing is a valid command at the remote host, an example would be ls -la | 19:05 |
| PittCaleb | #ubuntu-us-nj | 19:05 |
| Rubbermans | hello. i have a problem; my numpad isnt working anymore | 19:05 |
| RenatoSilva | slavi1: I can't understand this.... | 19:05 |
| Rubbermans | i can turn it on/off, but it just dont work. | 19:05 |
| tim_ | still waiting with 99% [8 Packages bzip2 0] . .. just worried since i get no feedback | 19:05 |
| simps | Sonistar, it does not seem to help | 19:05 |
| Fryguy-- | simps: -X is used for sending screen commands, not for running applications remotely. There is no way to use screen to "inject" a command into another screen | 19:06 |
| Rubbermans | The five response like a tab. What can be the problem? | 19:06 |
| simps | amenado, would the command response show up in the screen? | 19:06 |
| slavi1 | RenatoSilva: Intel made EMT64 (ia64), AMD simply extended x86 to 64bits, Intel licensed the tech from AMD | 19:06 |
| Madassasin | I'm running Hardy, and I'm having big problems connecting to the Internet via PPPoE. On Windows everything works fine, that nkicks out being ISP or wrong auth info. Basically, when I try to connect, either via pon dsl-provider, or via the graphic tool, it just won't connect. Sometimes it will, but will disconnect after 2-3 minutes with intense activity. I've set it up either via both pppoeconf and the graphic tool, same results. Any ideas? | 19:06 |
| Fryguy-- | simps: -X is used for things like splitting the viewport, or resizing a viewport | 19:06 |
| KrimZon | is there an ftp server for linux that will let me customize the folders to share, rather than sharing every single user's home directory by default? | 19:06 |
| amenado | jujub-> thats what I suspected earlier, your driver either went dead or your wifi nic card became faulty.. | 19:06 |
| RenatoSilva | slavi1: the obvious thing would be Intel developing its own technology | 19:06 |
| slavi1 | they did (EMT64), but it didn't catch on | 19:06 |
| amenado | simps it should, unless you piped the output somewhere else | 19:06 |
| jujub | I will be back soon | 19:06 |
| simps | amenado, so if the command were like 'echo 1', then it should echo it in the screen? | 19:07 |
| Fryguy-- | slavi1: EMT64 is instruction set identical to AMD64, and is what all modern intel desktop processors use | 19:07 |
| tc111 | amenado, Beererde: first diff found??? here - http://paste.ubuntu.com/25237/ | 19:07 |
| RenatoSilva | slavi1: my bad english. didn't catch on? what do you mean? it failed on the market? | 19:07 |
| slavi1 | Fryguy--: they changed emt64 ... | 19:07 |
| amenado | simps it should, unless you piped the output somewhere else | 19:07 |
| slavi1 | RenatoSilva: nobody wanted to compile their code to emt64 | 19:07 |
| RenatoSilva | Fryguy--: that was what I always have heard | 19:07 |
| simps | amenado, i did not output it somewhere else ;s | 19:07 |
| elliott | does nayone here have experience running ePSXe through wine? | 19:08 |
| Rubbermans | My numpad isn't working. I can turn it on/off, but it dont work. For example, the 'five' response like a tab. What can be the problem? | 19:08 |
| slavi1 | emt64 proper is not compatible with amd64 ... but modern Intel CPUs have both | 19:08 |
| RenatoSilva | Fryguy--: I'm confused! | 19:08 |
| amenado | simps okay..so it should display it | 19:08 |
| Fryguy-- | RenatoSilva: so download 32-bit iso and install | 19:08 |
| Fryguy-- | RenatoSilva: the decision isn't that hard... | 19:08 |
| slavi1 | no need to be confused, just isntall amd64 ... | 19:08 |
| amenado | tc111-> yes, if your fstab entry uses uuid, and detects different ones, it may not mount it | 19:09 |
| RenatoSilva | slavi1: you've said emt64 = ia64 = itanium = not me , but now it = all modern inte cpus???? | 19:09 |
| arafatm | I'm trying to compile screen from source so that I can apply the vertical split patch. WHen I do a ./configure I get the following error: "configure: error: !!! no tgetent - no screen". Any idea what I may be missing? I did a google search with no results. | 19:09 |
| slavi1 | hmm, I prolly made a mistake :P | 19:09 |
| RenatoSilva | Fryguy--: I'm not confused about this | 19:09 |
| RenatoSilva | Fryguy--: but about that | 19:09 |

| marcin | lenovoR61i it's allright | 19:10 |
| RenatoSilva | Fryguy--: And AMD cpus? | 19:10 |
| RenatoSilva | Fryguy--: do they support emt64? | 19:11 |
| arafatm | Fryguy--: Thank you. Not sure how I missed that. | 19:11 |
| Fryguy-- | MrLinux: add them do the adm group. the users and groups control panel manages this process for you if you are running gnome | 19:11 |
| Fryguy-- | genii: no | 19:11 |

| FloodBot3 | NOTICE - If you couldn't speak to the channel during the past minutes, please try again now. | 19:12 |

| PittCaleb | thx | 19:14 |
| jack-desktop | BlueLaguna: are you using compiz fusion? | 19:14 |

| kantor | hi, how can I modify PolicyKit in such a way that only allows you to authenticate as the root user when you want to set up the clock for instance ? | 19:15 |
| slavi1 | In the mid 90s, Intel realised that x86 was crap ... | 19:15 |
| Fryguy-- | RenatoSilva: yes. and this isn't the correct place to be talking about the history of instruction set design. You've been given all of the ubuntu-related answers you need, join #ubuntu-offtopic if you would like to continue the discussion with someone | 19:15 |
| slavi1 | so they started a joint project with HP to build the itanium processor (ia64) | 19:15 |
| rubydiam_ | hi ppl | 19:15 |
| PittCaleb | fryguy - what is that channel name please? | 19:15 |
| rubydiam_ | what are the basic and most commonly used namp commands | 19:15 |
| Fryguy-- | PittCaleb: i dunno, #courier or #courier-imap rpobably | 19:15 |
| rubydiam_ | nmap | 19:16 |
| slavi1 | 10 years later, Intel said "screw this" and started working on the core architecture, HP didn't care about Itanium much since they have their own processor called Alpha | 19:16 |
| slavi1 | hence ia64 is dead | 19:16 |
| Fryguy-- | rubydiam_: like i've said to you 2x already, see the manpage for information, or google, or see if #nmap exists on this channel and ask them | 19:16 |
| SegFaultAX | nmap 192.168.1.100-255 | 19:16 |

| dalla | how do i install that | 19:31 |
| Fryguy-- | Ajax_: what happens if you run it from a terminal | 19:31 |
| marcd | 630 x 480 only | 19:31 |
| honeybee | hello | 19:31 |
| Fryguy-- | dalla: sudo apt-get install pidgin | 19:31 |
| Fryguy-- | marcd: what driver are you using | 19:32 |
| marcd | intel | 19:32 |
| Ajax_ | FRYGUY: How would I accomplish that? | 19:32 |
| amenado | tim_-> honestly, i suggest to people to do a fresh install of newer ubuntu rather than upgrade, seems so many have issues with upgrading | 19:32 |
| Fryguy-- | Ajax_: alt-f2 | gnome-terminal | pidgin | 19:32 |
| dalla | its already installed | 19:32 |
| Fryguy-- | marcd: so then go into xorg.conf and add some more resolutions, like i said ubuntu is probably incorrectly identifying your hardware | 19:33 |
| Fryguy-- | dalla: so then it should be in the applications menu, run it | 19:33 |
| Ajax_ | FRYGUY: Same deal, opens and quits | 19:33 |
| tc111 | amenado: ok, not a file diff, but a missing file... libpopt.so.0 is missing from the 19/lib folder, any idea what its purpose might be? | 19:33 |

| Fryguy-- | dalla: so then why do you want to run it | 19:34 |
| slavi1 | dalla: go into pidgin's create accounts, create a new account, one of account type options will be AIM or Oscar | 19:34 |
| rhalff | I want to install ubuntu on a intel dual core and use xen, should I install the 64bit or 32bit version ? | 19:34 |

| Fryguy-- | rhalff: either or | 19:35 |
| slavi1 | rhalff: 64bit | 19:35 |
| Guiri | Who created the dokuwiki package? I have a few questions about it,such as why ACL isn't available | 19:35 |
| amenado | tc111-> if you go back to your older kernel, is that file i was referring to pam_mount.so exist? or not at all? | 19:35 |
| tc111 | amenado, slavi1: like a crypto passphrase so that /, /home & swap can be loaded? | 19:35 |
| rhalff | ok thanks, could be xen had bugs or something with 64 | 19:35 |
| Fryguy-- | Ajax_: remove your ~/.purple directory and start pidgin again without sudo (you will lose all of your accounts and logs if you do this) | 19:35 |
| slavi1 | no ... | 19:35 |
| rhalff | ok great | 19:35 |
| tc111 | amenado: in the initrd.img??? | 19:35 |
| Guiri | also the md5 in the dokuwiki package is wrong | 19:35 |
| amenado | tc111-> i dont know about the libpopt.so | 19:35 |
| slavi1 | rhalff: use kvm? | 19:35 |

| slavi1 | rhalff: if xen has problems, use kvm :) | 19:36 |
| Ajax_ | FRYGUY: where is that dir? | 19:36 |
| slavi1 | rhalff: I use VMWare Server, but that's besides the point | 19:36 |
| Fryguy-- | Ajax_: the dir is ~/.purple | 19:36 |
| Fryguy-- | Ajax_: ~ = home directory | 19:37 |

| ubottu | arunomi, please see my private message | 19:50 |

| frapell | guys, i've a really old computer, that i wanted to install ubuntu on... i tried first the 8.04 version, but was not good... so i went back a few years, and installed 6.06 on it... thing is, that this machine is very old and it has no LAN card... so i plugged in the hdd in my computer, and i installed ubuntu and all updates and packages from internet using a virtual machine. Then, when i plugged the hdd back to the old computer, ubuntu started great, but | 19:54 |
| frapell | i did some searches on google | 19:54 |
| frapell | but couldn't find nothing on how to solve this | 19:54 |
| frapell | i tried running sudo dpkg-reconfigure -a on it | 19:55 |
| frapell | it took like 4 hours | 19:55 |
| frapell | when it finished, i rebooted, and everything is still the same | 19:55 |
| slavi1 | frapell: you haven't stated your problem ... | 19:55 |
| frapell | slavi1: the USB is not working :( | 19:55 |

| slavi1 | frapell: don't know what to say ... | 19:57 |
| DeFirence | yup | 19:57 |
| frapell | slavi1: do you think that it has something to do with the fact that i installed the system using a virtual machine instead of installing it in the actual computer ? | 19:57 |
| tc111 | amenado: correct, aes was used and is present (in -16), can't test -19 because.... well, old ground already covered | 19:57 |
| DeFirence | Fryguy--, any ideas? | 19:57 |
| davetarmac | is there a way that I can check to see whether a perl module is installed or not? | 19:58 |
| kitche | davetarmac: by looking at cpan most likely | 19:58 |

| davetarmac | cheers | 19:58 |
| tc111 | amenado: its actually aes_x86_64 but there is an alias in 'aliases' for aes to aes_x86_64 | 19:58 |

| drixomanbeta | i have xp installed on a 80gb drive i created during its setup... | 20:12 |
| jujub | amenado : I have returned. | 20:13 |
| rubydiam_ | he sent me a link as PM | 20:13 |
| Fryguy-- | ankhi: i don't really know anything | 20:13 |
| minhaaj | thats strange | 20:13 |
| minhaaj | i had this problem with java jre | 20:13 |
| StevenX | Fryguy--, I have, but I cannot find it. | 20:13 |
| minhaaj | i removed the package manually and reinstalled it and it worked | 20:13 |
| drixomanbeta | what do I do then? | 20:13 |
| rubydiam_ | ("41 Anddos: http://sturly.com/ mygirlfriend . jpg") was sent to me by Anddos | 20:13 |
| ankhi | Fryguy--, ha! Do you happen to not know anything about IceCat/Gnash too? :) | 20:13 |
| jujub | I was giving some thought to teh drivers for my wifi. If they were going bad, then when I booted from Live cd, would that not work fine? | 20:13 |
| minhaaj | how about installing each package individually ? | 20:13 |
| Fryguy-- | StevenX: /usr/bin/compizconfig-settings-manager probably. use dpkg -L to find out what files the package installed | 20:13 |
| rubydiam_ | please kick him out | 20:13 |
| Fryguy-- | ankhi: no | 20:14 |
| StevenX | Fryguy--, when i try to turn "sudo compiz-config-settings-manager" it says command not found. | 20:14 |
| minhaaj | sudo apt-get install python-kaa-metadata | 20:14 |
| Fryguy-- | StevenX: no first dash probably | 20:14 |
| rubydiam_ | Anddos: yt? | 20:14 |
| drixomanbeta | i got tons of room for more partirtioning for installing ubuntu.. | 20:14 |
| walla1 | can anyone tell me when i "GStreamer resource error: OpenWrite" in my terminal when i try and play an mp3 in banshee, i have gstreamer good,bad,ugly | 20:14 |
| Fryguy-- | drixomanbeta: install windows, then install ubuntu, and pay attention to what it tells you when it gets to the end part for installing grub | 20:14 |
| OB1FoShoB | minhaaj: i don't know what to do, i really don't want to reload | 20:15 |
| StevenX | Fryguy--, I tried it w/o the first days, i.e., compizconfig-settings-manager, still cannot be found. It is very bad that compiz is so easy to start on GNOME but hard on KDE. | 20:15 |
| minhaaj | did you try what i told you ? | 20:15 |
| minhaaj | sudo apt-get install python-kaa-metadata | 20:15 |
| Fryguy-- | StevenX: it's for gnome, not kde | 20:15 |
| linuksnub | after installing the nvidia beta drivers for the new 9 series cards, it works fine the first time that i start the GDM, however when i reboot it reverts back to low-graphics mode... any ideas on this? | 20:15 |
| jujub | ikonia : mind continuting to assist me with wifi? | 20:15 |
| Fryguy-- | StevenX: like i said, use dpkg -L to see what files it installed | 20:15 |
| JoshuaRL | who is an admin in here? | 20:15 |
| Fryguy-- | linuksnub: you installing beta drivers that aren't supported = you are on your own | 20:15 |
| StevenX | Fryguy--, compiz-fusion is for GNOME? Maybe I should switch back to it then. I like the things compiz can do. | 20:15 |
| OB1FoShoB | python-freevo: Depends: python-kaa-imlib2 (>= 0.2.2) but it is not going to be installed | 20:15 |
| OB1FoShoB | Depends: python-kaa-metadata (>= 0.7.1) but it is not going to be installed | 20:15 |

| Amaranth | This IRC client sucks for channel management but that should do for now | 20:16 |
| minhaaj | paste it in google and search | 20:16 |
| drixomanbeta | so what do I do when its asking me to install grub? | 20:16 |
| OB1FoShoB | i have | 20:16 |
| Fryguy-- | drixomanbeta: install it to /dev/sda (or whatever letter you ahve) | 20:16 |
| Kunin | Need a little help undoing something.. I broke my sound | 20:17 |
| Fryguy-- | !ask | Kunin | 20:17 |
| ubottu | Kunin: 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. :-) | 20:17 |
| lanuser | linuksnub you sure your booting to the same kernel you installed the driver for? | 20:17 |
| Kunin | I followed: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/EeePC/Fixes#head-e0a73989f4da231d3f1b623f795ffc86e0d6a192 to try and fix the mic... not only did it break the mic but broke all sound | 20:18 |
| nando | how do i install a RPM package? | 20:18 |
| Kunin | how do I undo whatever the sudo m-a update... stuff did? | 20:18 |
| minhaaj | well it worked for me OB i manually uninstalled and reinstalled | 20:18 |
| Fryguy-- | nando: if you insist on installing an rpm, use alien to convert it to a .deb first, but what you are doing is almost certainly wrong. what specifically are you trying to do | 20:18 |
| JoshuaRL | PriceChild: hey dude | 20:19 |
| drixomanbeta | i already tried to dual-boot several time and nothing seems to work out,.... | 20:19 |
| Fryguy-- | drixomanbeta: how many hard drives do you have | 20:19 |
| drixomanbeta | ubuntu is just messing up my windows.... | 20:19 |
| drixomanbeta | one 320GB... | 20:19 |
| dr_Willis | a second hard drive makes life so much easier | 20:19 |
| Fryguy-- | drixomanbeta: so when you boot, you get a menu to boot ubuntu or windows right? | 20:19 |
| levander | What's the command to get the status of your wifi card? It's similar to ifconfig... | 20:19 |
| minhaaj | hey drwillis | 20:19 |
| minhaaj | :) | 20:19 |
| dr_Willis | of course ive rarely had issues dual booting with 1 hd. | 20:19 |
| Fryguy-- | dr_Willis: i'd argue it's harder | 20:19 |
| drixomanbeta | totally blank as i wiped it several time already in my dual booting attempt.... | 20:19 |
| dr_Willis | Fryguy--, id argue that you are.. well.. :) i wont be mean.... :) | 20:20 |
| drixomanbeta | yeah.... | 20:20 |
| enigmata | What is wrong here? http://pastebin.ca/1063166 | 20:20 |
| drixomanbeta | that was before i wiped it.. | 20:20 |
| dr_Willis | Fryguy--, with the new pc's i got i can hit F8 and pick what hd to boot. makes it even easier. No grub on the windows hd at all. | 20:20 |
| drixomanbeta | now my disk is clean... | 20:20 |
| Fryguy-- | dr_Willis: 2 hard drives = 2 installs of grub and swapping bios settings to boot from drive to drive, or a grub that has a cross drive dependency | 20:20 |
| drixomanbeta | i know to i got to install xp first... | 20:20 |
| Fryguy-- | drixomanbeta: can you answer my question/ | 20:21 |
| drixomanbeta | assuming i done that...what nexrt... | 20:21 |
| Fryguy-- | drixomanbeta: when you boot, you get the menu, then what | 20:21 |
| dr_Willis | Fryguy--, totally wrong.. I install grub to one hard drive. and it depends on the bios. | 20:21 |
| Fryguy-- | dr_Willis: and the other hard drive | 20:21 |
| dr_Willis | Fryguy--, but these are only on newer machines. :) | 20:21 |
| drixomanbeta | i tried to go i xp and it tell me unmountable erroe... | 20:21 |
| Kunin | never mind... I figured it out, thanks anyway... that was scary | 20:21 |
| icarus | is NFS native to linux as much as SMB is native to Win XP? | 20:21 |
| Fryguy-- | icarus: yes | 20:21 |
| Reivec | if I install and activate dmraid on a live CD, but get no devices in /dev/mapper, what can I do there? I have done this before on other systems and it seems to work, but on this one has little effect | 20:22 |
| drixomanbeta | but now i want to start over from beginning so i'm wiping the disk..... | 20:22 |
| newt^^ | Can i run games such as wow thru wine? or do i have to get cedega? | 20:22 |
| icarus | anyone know of a better linux-to-linux protocol besides NFS? or is NFS easy&competent? | 20:22 |
| Kunin | new question... I've got things basically how I want them... how can I make a recovery USB drive(it's an eee) incase I screw things up again? | 20:22 |
| Fryguy-- | drixomanbeta: http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=509160 | 20:22 |
| dr_Willis | icarus, nfs is fairly easy to get going and has been in use for years. | 20:22 |
| kitche | newt^^: yes wow runs on wine | 20:23 |
| enigmata | What is wrong here? http://pastebin.ca/1063166 | 20:23 |
| Reivec | newt^^, I believe you can. I have seen several howtos on how to run wow in linux using wine, cedega, or crossover | 20:23 |
| Fryguy-- | icarus: nfs is by far the best lan solution for *nix file transfers | 20:23 |
| dr_Willis | icarus, for just doing a few transfers, ssh/scp/sshfs is also handy. but a bit slower. | 20:23 |
| mariachiac | When installing Ubuntu, after choosing english, pressing install ubuntu, ubuntu logo shows, then screen goes black. What shal I do? | 20:23 |
| Fryguy-- | mariachiac: use safe graphics mode option | 20:24 |
| icarus | so I can have a nfs daemon and a samba daemon manage the same share (so samba for the win machines and nfs for the nix machines) | 20:24 |
| Fryguy-- | mariachiac: or the alternate cd | 20:24 |
| Fryguy-- | mariachiac: or try noacpi flag | 20:24 |
| mariachiac | Ok, I'll try that now. | 20:24 |
| Fryguy-- | mariachiac: or use the server install cd and install ubuntu-desktop from apt after getting the base system up and running | 20:24 |
| minhaaj | corrupt boot cd mariachiac | 20:24 |
| Fryguy-- | icarus: yes | 20:24 |
| drixomanbeta | assuming i installed xp....the xp setup only detect about 120GB, i don't know why.... | 20:24 |
| dr_Willis | mariachiac, often the Language dialog pops up so fast.. you dont notice the menu befor it. hit 'escape' to check out the other options also. | 20:24 |
| rsavela | I'm having trouble installing 8.04 on an Asus A8N-Premium - the pata hard disk is not seen by ubuntu. Passing "insmod=amd74xx" on boot doesn't help either. Any ideas? (currently works with Suse 10.3 w/amd74xx on the initrd) | 20:24 |
| Fryguy-- | drixomanbeta: need to have at least service pack 1, and that is the cause of your problem btw | 20:25 |
| icarus | Fryguy--: awesome! because I am having a bad bad time getting ubuntu to correctly mount a smb share | 20:25 |
| Fryguy-- | drixomanbeta: and it's probably 137gb | 20:25 |
| icarus | NFS for the win I guess! | 20:25 |
| drixomanbeta | smth like that... | 20:25 |
| drixomanbeta | is missing sp1 the reason? | 20:25 |
| Fryguy-- | drixomanbeta: yes | 20:25 |

| enigmata | Fryguy: did that through the registry. | 20:28 |
| Fryguy-- | drixomanbeta: windows xp prior to service pack 1 couldn't detect drives larger than 137gb properly, and so after you install ubuntu and change information on the drive, windows gets confused | 20:29 |

| enos | !headers | 20:30 |
| ubottu | To install the Linux (kernel) headers, open a terminal and: sudo apt-get install linux-headers-$(uname -r) To install headers for libraries, you need the accompanying -dev packages | 20:30 |

Do NOT take polls in the channel. If you insist on getting people's opinions, ask BestBot in #ubuntu-bots. | 20:34 |

| tannji | Crim: no result, let me open my meter | 20:36 |
| crimsun | enigmata: linux-headers-$(uname -r) is the package you need | 20:36 |
| crimsun | tannji: does the command appear to hang, or does it complete after 10 seconds? | 20:37 |

| keshavkhera | enos, i love it too :D | 20:39 |
| dr_Willis | enigmata, its not in /usr/bin/password thats the binary file to change the password. passwords are saved in /etc/shadow . and its not very easy to 'recover' a lost password. You can change the password without knowing the old one, using various methods | 20:40 |

| dr_Willis | krim, theres a unoffical repo that has the latest wine. | 20:40 |
| * enos remembers the old redhat 5.2 days = everything almost never worked | 20:40 | |
| dr_Willis | check the !wine factoid | 20:40 |
| Fryguy-- | krim: ubuntu upgrades software for you automatically, if you want to check manually, sudo apt-get update, then sudo apt-get upgrade | 20:41 |
| dr_Willis | !wine | krim | 20:41 |
| ubottu | krim: 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. | 20:41 |

| lukehasnoname | Is there any sort of official changelog for the 8.04.1 release? | 20:44 |
| dr_Willis | enigmata, in theory you could 'delete' the password, and the user would be able to login without entering a password.. but if you have rights to edit that file.. you shoudl also have rights to run 'sudo passwd username' and change the password correctly. | 20:44 |
| tannji | crim: http://paste.ubuntu.com/25255/ | 20:44 |
| Fryguy-- | enigmata: if you are su, just type "passwd <username>" to set a new passwd for that user | 20:45 |
| WattoDaToydarian | Fryguy-- oops I'm sorry about that... | 20:45 |

| rsavela | Any ideas as to how I can make and IDE disk visible to Ubuntu on an nForce 4 chipset? (amd74xx?) cdrom does work. | 20:47 |
| Fryguy-- | RenatoSilva: google | 20:47 |
| Fryguy-- | rsavela: is the disk visible in bios | 20:47 |
| Lynet | Hilikus: Depends on what part of the boot you are talking about. Most deamons, networking etc is started from rc2.d. And then there is the very early kernel stuff, most of which is handled by the initial ramdisk loaded by the kernel. | 20:48 |
| rsavela | yes, works with Suse 10.3 - 2.6.22 kernel with amd74xx driver | 20:48 |
| RenatoSilva | Fryguy--: except google. that's obvious ;) | 20:48 |
| Fryguy-- | RenatoSilva: google is a search engine, you are searching for help, i am confused | 20:49 |
| RenatoSilva | Fryguy--: irc channels if you need it very well explained | 20:49 |
| rsavela | I had to put the amd74xx first in the initrd though. | 20:49 |
| tannji | crimsun: http://paste.ubuntu.com/25257/ | 20:49 |
| Fryguy-- | RenatoSilva: this one would work i guess, or #linux, or grab a list of channels using /list and pick one | 20:49 |
| Fryguy-- | RenatoSilva: i don't memorize an index of every irc channel in existence, sorry | 20:49 |

| Fryguy-- | boogieman: is there any reason you are using utorrent instead of one of the half dozen or so native linux torrent clients available | 21:11 |
| joaopinto | drixomanbeta, there is no relation between SP1 and your problem | 21:11 |
| Fryguy-- | joaopinto: he's installing windows to a machine that doesn't recognize the full size of the hard drive, it is probably the source of his problem | 21:11 |
| drixomanbeta | any solution to the BSOD problem? | 21:11 |
| boogieman | saxin: does it matter?? im writing like this because i have a terrible hangover i can barely see | 21:12 |
| joaopinto | boogieman, since your question is more wine related, that ubuntu or linux... please try asking on #winehq | 21:12 |
| drixomanbeta | that's the one i'm worried about... | 21:12 |
| boogieman | fryguy: its my favorite client | 21:12 |
| joaopinto | Fryguy--, is question is not about that.. is about the inability to mount a windows partition from linux | 21:12 |
| Fryguy-- | boogieman: so then point firefox to a command, something like wine "C:/Program Files/uTorrent/uTorrent.exe" then | 21:12 |
| joaopinto | drixomanbeta, is your partition fine ? can you use from windows ? | 21:12 |
| joaopinto | i mean.. use it | 21:12 |
| drixomanbeta | yeah.... | 21:12 |
| Fryguy-- | joaopinto: no it's not, it's about being unable to boot windows | 21:12 |

| tannji | crimsun, object not found | 21:13 |
| drixomanbeta | which i will right now... | 21:13 |
| Fryguy-- | joaopinto: at least that's what he was claiming an hour ago, with the same error message | 21:13 |
| joaopinto | boogieman, so please ask for help on ##windows.. since your problem is related to the windows install.. and not to Ubuntu | 21:13 |
| mado | well guys ... | 21:13 |
| tannji | crimsun, should I copy that and past to terminal? | 21:13 |
| drixomanbeta | i just want some insight so i don't have to start over again..... | 21:13 |
| mado | i tried "amd64" ... and it doesn't work too! | 21:13 |
| joaopinto | drixomanbeta, do get it from a proper place.. a windows chan | 21:14 |

| Fryguy-- | woot it's bazhang | 21:15 |
| drixomanbeta | some how ubuntu dual boot is causing that unmountable error so i should be in the right place.... | 21:15 |
| bumblebee | hi, can someone recommend me a free burning program that i can use to burn the iso file to a cd? | 21:16 |
| joaopinto | drixomanbeta, have you tried to mount it from the terminal ? | 21:16 |
| Fryguy-- | drixomanbeta: you are, now install sp1 and don't say anything else until you have | 21:16 |
| Fryguy-- | bumblebee: imgburn | 21:16 |
| joaopinto | drixomanbeta, not really.. dual boot has nothing to do with your ntfs partition problems | 21:17 |

| Fryguy-- | RenatoSilva: try it and see | 21:17 |
| Striking7 | Grep is being evil to me though. | 21:17 |
| ikonia | Striking7: what process is it ? | 21:17 |
| Striking7 | I have this line: netstat -nap | grep 3000 | grep -o "[0-9]{4,6}" | 21:18 |
| Fryguy-- | Striking7: use netstat | 21:18 |
| DroP-PsyChoSiS | hi all i ran into a problem while trying to install ATI prapritry drivers. it almost installed perfectly but it gave me a error . main prob is this "X Server: unable to detect" any1 know how i can get my X server back up and running . | 21:18 |
| Striking7 | So this should grab the only 4 to 6 digit numbers from netstat's output and give it to me. | 21:18 |
| cast | Fryguy--: lol. | 21:18 |
| Striking7 | But the grep -o gives me nothing | 21:18 |
| Fryguy-- | cast: ? | 21:18 |
| Striking7 | It never matches. | 21:18 |
| * cast looks at Striking7's cmd | 21:18 | |
| Striking7 | if I take out the {4,6} it'll output each number on a line, so it's matching the digits. | 21:19 |
| Fryguy-- | Striking7: try egrep | 21:19 |
| joaopinto | DroP-PsyChoSiS, yoou should use the version available on the repositories | 21:19 |
| Striking7 | thanks cast | 21:19 |
| x3 | is there a way to display users in room in x chat | 21:19 |
| RenatoSilva | Fryguy--: nice mess | 21:19 |
| DroP-PsyChoSiS | can u pls tell me how to reinstall it joaopinto | 21:19 |

| ubottu | user_: Error: I am only a bot, please don't think I'm intelligent :) | 21:20 |
| Striking7 | cast - for some reason when I try doing that with awk, it just prints the whole input line | 21:20 |
| Fryguy-- | Striking7: and like cast said, awk is better at pulling pid from matching lines anyway | 21:20 |
| boogieman | latersss dudes | 21:21 |
| DroP-PsyChoSiS | joaopinto, im want to install the praprietry driver but i cant coz of this X server thing :( | 21:21 |

| Striking7 | Fryguy--: agreed. Awk was being moody with me. | 21:21 |
| Fryguy-- | Striking7: and 1 prints first column, and 2 prints second column, etc | 21:21 |
| Striking7 | Fryguy--: I know - but it wasn't. I first tried this: | 21:21 |
| Striking7 | netstat -nap | grep 3000 | awk "{ print $4 }" | 21:22 |
| Striking7 | But it gave me the whole input line | 21:22 |
| Striking7 | Changing the 4 to anything from 0 to 7 gave me back the whole input line. | 21:22 |
| Striking7 | (this is on gutsy) | 21:22 |

| joaopinto | Striking7, yes.. all the difference | 21:23 |
| StevenX | Fryguy--, but shouldn't they be working? | 21:23 |
| Fryguy-- | StevenX: maybe | 21:23 |

| user_ | true dbmoodb | 21:29 |
| tannji | crimsun: I used " bash ~/home/tannji/Desktop/alsa-info.sh" it just sends the cursor to the next line in terminal | 21:29 |

| user_ | but with our fiewall, it is secure enough for now | 21:29 |

| dbmoodb | Refefer: during the installation you can pick which one (hard disk to install too) last time i installed if i remmeber correctly --if that doesn't work you can just disconnect / disable in bios the second / other drives | 21:30 |

| enigmata | Fryguy: it was McAfee. What idiot took the ad/remove programs option out of the Control Panel? GEEZE! | 21:31 |

| Fryguy-- | user_: no it doesn't | 21:33 |
| zelrikriando | Fryguy--, I cant reboot... | 21:33 |
| Hilikus | was there a kernel update release recently? like last week or so? | 21:33 |
| dbmoodb | openssh has not had a hole for a few years now(of note in anyway) | 21:33 |
| Fryguy-- | user_: and certainly not any more or less than any other piece of security-relevant software | 21:33 |
| zelrikriando | Fryguy--, the logout button isnt working anymore | 21:33 |
| user_ | true | 21:33 |
| wil | cast: so what would complinging look like? example? | 21:33 |
| Brucevdk | Ayabara: sudo apt-get install libmad0 lixbine1-ffmpeg | then try in amarok? | 21:34 |
| Refefer | Fryguy--: The issue (I think) is that windows is on Disk 2, with the mbr on disk 1, and ubuntu is being installed on Disk 2, and writing the mbr on disk 1. I don't want to lose either's ability too boot up. Anyway I can tell it to write to the mbr on Disk 1 | 21:34 |
| Refefer | ? | 21:34 |

| zelrikriando | Fryguy--, in fact...my toolbar isnt working anymore | 21:34 |
| cast | hm. | 21:34 |
| crimsun | tannji: terminal | 21:34 |
| Fryguy-- | fritzophrenic: are you running X? | 21:34 |
| fritzophrenic | yes | 21:34 |
| dbmoodb | when its says grub instal.. last time i installed / from the alt cd you might get it (pick the second / drive you want) | 21:35 |
| dbmoodb | glxinfo not fixinfo fritzophrenic | 21:35 |
| Fryguy-- | dbmoodb: his problem is he has pata and sata drives and grub is getting confused which drive to install to | 21:35 |
| cast | should ubuntu users use aptitude install or apt-get install? | 21:35 |
| dbmoodb | Fryguy--: so he should tell it which one | 21:35 |
| Fryguy-- | cast: it doesn't really matter | 21:35 |
| zelrikriando | my system is half frozen...what should I do | 21:35 |
| user_ | oh, i was thinking of ssl v2 vuln, not ssh, sorry | 21:35 |
| Fryguy-- | dbmoodb: yes, and grub gets it wrong | 21:35 |
| * dbmoodb .... | 21:36 | |
| Ayabara | Brucevdk, already installed, but now it suddenly works again.. | 21:36 |
| Ayabara | oh well | 21:36 |
| Fryguy-- | dbmoodb: which is why i told him to remove all drives of the other interface from his computer when he's installing | 21:36 |
| Brucevdk | Ayabara: how about Rhythmbox? | 21:36 |
| TiZ_ | Hi. I've copied some fonts over from my Windows partition, and I want to use them as my system fonts. Except they're displayed a couple pixels higher than they're supposed to be. Is there anything I can do to correct this? | 21:36 |
| fritzophrenic | yes, gixinfo gives "command not found" | 21:36 |
| zelrikriando | crimsun, my system is half frozen now...what should I do??? | 21:36 |
| * dbmoodb ah is this a known bug (i suggested that before you Fryguy-- if you care to scroll) but last time i installed there was an option just choose the drive you want | 21:36 | |
| dbmoodb | it there isn't then i will file a bug | 21:36 |
| Fryguy-- | TiZ_: play around with font hinting in the appearance menu | 21:36 |
| RoRza | can anyone tell me how to lock ubuntu without turning off ? | 21:36 |
| Fryguy-- | fritzophrenic: it's glxinfo | 21:36 |
| RoRza | like locking in windows | 21:36 |
| crimsun | zelrikriando: "half-frozen"? What did you do? | 21:37 |
| TiZ_ | I'll give it a shot, Fryguy--. | 21:37 |
| tannji | crimsun, ran that in terminal | 21:37 |
| Fryguy-- | RoRza: click the power button, and one of the options should be lock screen | 21:37 |
| dbmoodb | RoRza: yes i can they removed it from the system options. go to system logout and its there | 21:37 |
| cast | Fryguy--: oh. in the past apt-get didn't things as automagically installed or manually, so aptitude would come through and want to remove a whole lot of packages it deemed unneeded. thus in debian stable land mixing the two is to be avoided if you want to keep things simple. was wondering if its the same in ubuntu | 21:37 |
| fritzophrenic | oh, 'el' not 'eye' | 21:37 |
| x3 | yea press ctr alt del and choose lock desktop | 21:37 |
| Refefer | Fryguy-- and dbmoodb: If I was to disconnect my sata drive, which is what my computer boots from, wouldn't it still install the bootloader on the wrong drive? After all, once I reinstalled ubuntu, it'd still install the bootloader on the drive that is not booted from | 21:37 |
| RoRza | ? | 21:37 |
| zelrikriando | crimsun, nothing...I tried to reboot about trying what you said... | 21:37 |
| fritzophrenic | need a new font, apparently | 21:37 |
| Fryguy-- | Refefer: i said disconnect the other drive | 21:37 |
| Ayabara | Brucevdk, rhythmbox as well. | 21:37 |
| dbmoodb | RoRza: you can add an applet for the gnome-panel (look for the lock screen applet) | 21:37 |
| x3 | or lock screen | 21:37 |
| Fryguy-- | Refefer: if you boot from the sata drive, then disconnect the pata drives | 21:37 |
| Brucevdk | Ayabara: ok great | 21:37 |
| zelrikriando | crimsun, I think it started to break when I tried to acces my sound preferences though...the GUI never came up | 21:38 |
| dbmoodb | Fryguy--: your missing the point he wants ubuntu on one and not the other | 21:38 |
| Ayabara | Brucevdk, yes :-) | 21:38 |
| Kernel | hello all. i uninstalled open office as i never use it....and now when it says i have upgrades....it wants to upgrade open office? how is this possible? | 21:38 |
| Fryguy-- | dbmoodb: i'm not missing any point, he's not giving us any specifics | 21:38 |
| RoRza | 10x ...guys | 21:38 |
| user_ | https://lists.ubuntu.com/archives/ubuntu-security-announce/2008-May/000706.html | 21:38 |
| tannji | crimsun: 15:33:42 (61.59 KB/s) - `index.html?p=alsa-driver.git;a=blob_plain;f=utils%2Falsa-info.sh' saved [20364] | 21:38 |
| crimsun | zelrikriando: ok, so can you reboot? | 21:38 |
| dbmoodb | .... your not reading | 21:38 |
| Kernel | open office just takes up space for me...and adds large downloads when updating. | 21:38 |
| Ayabara | any better musicplayers for gnome than rhythmbox? isn't there an amarok-like alternative? | 21:38 |
| zelrikriando | crimsun, how? | 21:38 |
| Refefer | Fryguy--: but then I can't install ubuntu on my pata drive... | 21:38 |
| crimsun | tannji: right, now, did you `mv index* alsa-info.sh'? | 21:38 |
| user_ | not a big fan of open office, i like vim | 21:38 |
| Fryguy-- | dbmoodb: neither are you, you were the one who is just like "oh install grub on the right drive" without paying any attention to the context of the problem | 21:38 |
| crimsun | zelrikriando: power-cycle the machine? | 21:38 |
| zelrikriando | crimsun, my taskbar frost | 21:38 |
| zelrikriando | ok | 21:39 |
| tannji | crimsun, will now | 21:39 |
| dbmoodb | amarok is good. there is a gtk based alternative exaile | 21:39 |
| TiZ_ | The hinting didn't help, unfortunately. I think it's in the font itself. Is there anything I can use to make it come down lower? | 21:39 |
| Fryguy-- | Refefer: so you want to install ubuntu on a drive, and then boot from a different drive? | 21:39 |
| dbmoodb | Fryguy--: .... its an ubuntu problem | 21:39 |
| Refefer | Fryguy--: exactly | 21:39 |
| Fryguy-- | dbmoodb: yes | 21:39 |
| tannji | crimsun: mv: cannot stat `index*': No such file or directory | 21:39 |
| Fryguy-- | Refefer: if the drives are different interfaces, I don't know how to trick grub into using the right drive, sorry | 21:39 |
| dbmoodb | Fryguy--: i told you thats what he wanted to do. now if you had read that ...ah nevermind | 21:39 |
| crimsun | tannji: where did you save the file? | 21:39 |
| user_ | E: Couldn't find package pptp-client | 21:39 |
| user_ | still no dice | 21:40 |
| Fryguy-- | user_: like i said, just right click on the network icon on the top right of the screeen and configure your vpn there | 21:40 |
| user_ | no dice also | 21:40 |
| dbmoodb | try network-manager-pptp-gnome | 21:40 |
| dbmoodb | and apt-get build-dep on that package perhaps | 21:40 |
| tannji | crimsun: the only file I have saved is alsa-info.sh, on the desktop | 21:41 |
| ninjabob7 | does anyone know how to get midi working with java? I can play midi files with Timidity++, but Java can't find a sequencer | 21:41 |
| crimsun | tannji: no, wget saved the file somewhere. What directory are you at in the Terminal? | 21:41 |
| TiZ_ | Is there any program that will let me bring the characters in a font down lower? It's a really good looking font, but it's a couple pixels too high and that ruins it. :| | 21:42 |
| crimsun | ninjabob7: you need to either close timidity and/or pasuspend | 21:42 |
| tannji | crimsun: ah..... ~$ | 21:42 |
| Seracht | hi, what's the application that has all the music codecs that I should get? | 21:42 |
| amenado | i didnt know wubi have Read-Only Demo mode (live cd desktop it says) -- am comparing a wubi install on a guest xp (on vbox) and an xp as host | 21:42 |
| ninjabob7 | well it doesn't work even before i installed timidity | 21:42 |
| tannji | crimsun, cd to desktop then? | 21:42 |
| crimsun | tannji: sure, or provide the full path | 21:42 |
| dbmoodb | Seracht: gstreamer ? or xine ? | 21:42 |
| ninjabob7 | i installed a lot of midi packages but it still doesn't work | 21:42 |
| Seracht | dbmoodb I meant like mp3 codecs | 21:42 |
| ninjabob7 | i also tried the alsa-oss wrapper | 21:43 |
| dbmoodb | Seracht: gstreamer or xine | 21:43 |
| crimsun | ninjabob7: alsa-oss is irrelevant here | 21:43 |
| ninjabob7 | http://www.tuxguitar.com.ar/tgwiki/doku.php?id=doc:error_midi_unavailable_linux | 21:43 |
| dbmoodb | trying playing the .mp3 in totem | 21:43 |
| Seracht | I swear I thought it was some universal codec pack | 21:43 |
| Seracht | hmm | 21:43 |
| ninjabob7 | first result for the error | 21:43 |
| johnnypea | hello ,can somebody tell what " 403 Forbidden" means? | 21:43 |
| crimsun | ninjabob7: the issue is by default, pulseaudio grabs the audio device exclusively, so you need to either use timidity or jackd. | 21:43 |
| ninjabob7 | so how? | 21:43 |
| Fryguy-- | TiZ_: like i said, you need to play with the font hinting | 21:43 |
| Devlin_ | Evening ladies and gents | 21:44 |
| TiZ_ | Fryguy-- Font hinting did nothing. | 21:44 |
| Devlin_ | I have a problem | 21:44 |
| crimsun | ninjabob7: well, does your hardware provide a sequencer? (likely not) | 21:44 |
| ninjabob7 | the sound works in java, just not the midi music | 21:44 |
| Fryguy-- | TiZ_: then you are out of luck | 21:44 |
| ninjabob7 | don't think so | 21:44 |
| Fryguy-- | johnnypea: it means the website isn't allowing access to that resource | 21:44 |
| user_ | E: Unable to find a source package for network-manager-pptp-gnome | 21:44 |
| TiZ_ | I see. Well, thank you anyways. | 21:44 |
| ninjabob7 | but the snd_seq_midi module is loaded | 21:44 |
| crimsun | ninjabob7: /dev/seq* access is problematic with pulseaudio. Use ALSA directly. | 21:44 |
| zelrikriando | crimsun, ok I rebooted using 'sudo reboot' (I had a terminal handy) | 21:45 |
| johnnypea | it says when I whant to download or update repositores? why is that? | 21:45 |
| ninjabob7 | ok, so how do i do that? | 21:45 |
| zelrikriando | crimsun, for now the sound is back but I dont know for how long it will be like this | 21:46 |
| crimsun | ninjabob7: you need to describe precisely what you're trying to do, which means you need to tell me which applications you're using. | 21:46 |
| crimsun | ninjabob7: (that are related to audio) | 21:46 |
| crimsun | zelrikriando: did you install libflashsupport? | 21:46 |
| zelrikriando | crimsun, yeah | 21:46 |
| Devlin_ | For some weird reason, when I copy files from CD/DVD in the gui(nautilus/metacity/gnome) it marks them read-only and I have to manually sort them out | 21:47 |
| zelrikriando | crimsun, I dont like when the sound fails...my whole system is going wild when that happens | 21:47 |
| ninjabob7 | crimsun: I'm trying to run a java-based game that uses midi for music. everything works, including sound, except the music. there are no other apps open except whatever loads with xfce | 21:47 |
| tannji | crimsun: Wget command did this: http://paste.ubuntu.com/25264/ I dont see a path to where it saved to, and it is not in the download folder or desktop | 21:48 |
| ninjabob7 | here is the error message: "javax.sound.midi.MidiUnavailableException: Audio Device Unavailable" | 21:48 |
| user_ | okay, well lets get back to the basics... I downloaded the tarball for pptpd, and when i compile it, i get "/usr/bin/ld: crt1.o: No such file: No such file or directory" does anyone know where to get the ctrl.o library? | 21:48 |
| Fryguy-- | user_: sudo apt-get install pptpd | 21:48 |
| crimsun | tannji: it's in your $HOME. | 21:48 |
| tannji | crimsun: I see how busy you are, I am in no hurry = )\ | 21:48 |
| crimsun | tannji: mv -f ~/index* ~/alsa-info.sh | 21:49 |
| ygor_abreu | Hey guys..dows any1 know how can i convert to a video file, the webcam logs that amsn create? they are .cam extension... | 21:49 |
| erUSUL | user_: whay are you compiling from source??? | 21:49 |
| user_ | because i like source | 21:49 |
| Fryguy-- | user_: if you like source, then you probably shouldn't be using ubuntu, and you should use a distribution more suitable for source compilations | 21:49 |
| erUSUL | user_: sudo apt-get build-dep pptpd | 21:50 |
| user_ | My first time with deb based linux | 21:50 |
| Fryguy-- | user_: in ubuntu, the ubuntu way is to use the precompiled binary packages in it's repository for as much as possible. you are defeating a large point of the purpse of ubuntu | 21:50 |
| user_ | i figured i would give it a try | 21:50 |
| dbmoodb | user_: enjoy the apt-get | 21:50 |
| Devlin_ | yes, user_ - learn to love apt-get, it is your best buddy. | 21:50 |
| Reformer81 | user_: Yeah, you'll love apt. :) | 21:50 |
| user_ | lol | 21:50 |
| johnnypea | please, I cannot update or download new repositores due to "403 Forbidden" thing? please can anybody help, I am looking for a solution for almost a month | 21:51 |
| user_ | y | 21:51 |
| user_ | sorry y unintended | 21:51 |
| Reformer81 | ygor_abreu: Look into ffmpeg. | 21:51 |
| Fryguy-- | johnnypea: what repository | 21:51 |
| amenado | hmmm ...something new .. Connect to a 802.1x protected wired network... was this on hardy before? or only on 8.04.1 ? | 21:51 |
| dbmoodb | johnnypea: try changing the repositories your are using | 21:51 |
| dbmoodb | amenado: i think it was on gutsy | 21:51 |
| crimsun | ninjabob7: / tannji: I'm away to find a new wifi hotspot, should be able 15-20 mins. | 21:51 |
| amenado | dbmoodb-> not on my gutsy...i havent not seen this before | 21:52 |
| tannji | crimsun, roger | 21:52 |
| dbmoodb | mmm perhaps i had installed it --- its for vpn i think | 21:52 |
| Gigi | how can I access the pastbin... need to ask something!! | 21:52 |
| johnnypea | everything worked but from out of nothing it stopped working...I can update or download no repositores at all | 21:52 |
| Fryguy-- | !pastebin | Gigi | 21:52 |
| ubottu | Gigi: 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) | 21:52 |
| Reformer81 | Gigi: http://paste.ubuntu.com | 21:52 |
| Fryguy-- | johnnypea: what repository | 21:52 |
| Gigi | thanks. | 21:52 |
| Gigi | Had the older link | 21:52 |
| TiZ_ | Hey, is it possible, when you click a link to download a file in firefox, to open it as root? | 21:53 |
| Reformer81 | TiZ_: Thankfully, no. | 21:53 |
| johnnypea | Fryguy--, all of them :( | 21:53 |
| amenado | dbmoodb it must only on 8.04.1 i just installed it via wubi...anyone else can confirm if this is available a part of stock install on 8.04 hardy ? | 21:53 |
| erUSUL | TiZ_: you need windows for that XD | 21:53 |
| TiZ_ | Hm. Then where else am I going to put the fonts I download? | 21:53 |
| dbmoodb | what Reformer81 . it is possible -- yes i can confirm that (its part of stock) | 21:53 |
| Devlin_ | That's easy | 21:53 |
| Fryguy-- | johnnypea: all of them what? there are hundred of ubuntu repositories in existence, and you aren't using them all, which ones are you using | 21:53 |
| Reformer81 | TiZ_: Just download it then use sudo to do what you need. | 21:53 |
| erUSUL | !fonts | TiZ_ | 21:53 |
| ubottu | TiZ_: Font installation basics here: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/FontInstallHowto - No fonts in Flash? Install "msttcorefonts" (from !Multiverse), "gsfonts", and "gsfonts-x11". No fonts in MPlayer? see !MPlayer | 21:53 |
| Fryguy-- | TiZ_: open up fonts:// in nautilus and drag drop | 21:54 |
| dbmoodb | * what Reformer81 said -- its is possible but its NOT A GOOD IDEA. | 21:54 |
| Gigi | I'm trying to make wine work... but when I type winecfg I get this http://paste.ubuntu.com/25265/ | 21:54 |
| drpcken | is it possible to disable the laptop touchpad when a usb mouse is connected? | 21:54 |
| Reformer81 | dbmoodb: Well, I guess I made a bad assumption ... thought something that stupid shouldn't be possible :) | 21:54 |
| TiZ_ | Thanks for the responsiveness, guys. | 21:54 |
| johnnypea | Fryguy--, you mean the source of repositories? | 21:54 |
| TiZ_ | :) | 21:54 |
| Fryguy-- | johnnypea: yes | 21:54 |
| amenado | drpcken-> possible, if you tinker with it in the xorg.conf file | 21:54 |
| Fryguy-- | Gigi: do you have a ~/.wine/drive_c already/ | 21:54 |
| dbmoodb | Reformer81: yes your answer is better for end users i suppose | 21:54 |
| ygor_abreu | Reformer81: thx mate | 21:55 |
| johnnypea | Fryguy--, I have tried the US and CZECH download servers but none of them are working for me | 21:55 |
| Gigi | Fryguy-- I do not, but when I click on autodetect, it appears... but if I do close and reopen, drive c goes away.... It has been long time not using windows nor wine... so do not remember | 21:55 |
| dbmoodb | johnnypea: what version of ubuntu are you on ? | 21:55 |
| Ali__ | Anyone have used a wireless connection on DELL VOSTRO 1500 in ubuntu? | 21:55 |
| drpcken | how can i open and edit my xorg.conf? its been a couple months since i turned on my ubuntu box :) | 21:55 |
| johnnypea | dbmoodb, 8.04 HARDY | 21:55 |
| Fryguy-- | drpcken: gksu gedit /etc/X11/xorg.conf | 21:55 |
| Gigi | drpcken I guess - gedit /etc/xll/xorg.conf | 21:56 |
| Ali__ | ?????????/ | 21:56 |
| Fryguy-- | Ali__: which card? the dell card or the intel card | 21:56 |
| drpcken | the reason i want to disable touchpad is because sometimes, for no reason at all the mouse cursor will start drifting right or left... i'm assuming its the touchpad | 21:56 |
| dbmoodb | Ali__: it should work | 21:56 |
| Ali__ | I think it has detected the card | 21:57 |
| dbmoodb | have you tried to use it ? | 21:57 |
| Ali__ | but it needs the network name | 21:57 |
| Gigi | Readint the error it says "err:dosmem:setup_dos_mem Cannot use first megabyte for DOS address space, please report | 21:57 |
| Gigi | " | 21:57 |
| Fryguy-- | so then give it th enetwork name | 21:57 |
| user_ | okay, now i have pppd, where do i find the package for pptp-client, i only seep the rpm and tarball option? | 21:57 |
| Ali__ | but I want an applicaion to search for wireless networks and connect to | 21:57 |
| Fryguy-- | user_: sudo apt-get install pptpclient i think, or apt-cache search pptp and check out the results | 21:57 |
| Fryguy-- | Ali__: click on the network icon on the top right of your screen | 21:58 |
| johnnypea | :( | 21:58 |
| dbmoodb | its called networking-manager and its in the top right hand corner just try that :) | 21:58 |
| dr_Willis | Gigi, i see that message all the time.. even on programs that work... | 21:58 |
| dbmoodb | you have wifi networks near you yes ? | 21:58 |
| Ali__ | It needs the network name! | 21:58 |
| user_ | my networking manager doesnt have crap | 21:58 |
| erUSUL | !info pptp-linux | user_ | 21:58 |

| Fryguy-- | Ali__: browse the interface some more, there is a scan option there | 21:58 |
| dbmoodb | user_: get the pptp package for it | 21:58 |
| Ali__ | Is it exactly the name that is seen in windows? | 21:58 |
| dbmoodb | network-manager-pptp-gnome | 21:59 |
| dbmoodb | Ali__: yes | 21:59 |
| Fryguy-- | user_: enable the universe and multiverse repositories in synaptic | 21:59 |
| Fryguy-- | user_: in the system menu | 21:59 |
| drpcken | ok how about this, is it possible to disable the little eraser head thingy on laptop keyboards? you know that controls the mouse cursor? | 21:59 |
| zelrikriando | crimsun, do you think it's fixed now? | 21:59 |
| Ali__ | Well, how can I make sure that the wireless card is detected? | 21:59 |
| dbmoodb | well go lspci -v |grep wire | 22:00 |
| Fryguy-- | Ali__: use ifconfig and iwconfig and make sure you have a wireless interface | 22:00 |
| dbmoodb | if that fails try lspci -v --- find your wireless card | 22:00 |
| johnnypea | I dont understand that, everything else works for me excluding the Updates for Ubuntu | 22:00 |

| Qubed | sooo uhhh | 22:01 |
| Qubed | why is my ubuntu sucking? | 22:01 |
| Fryguy-- | !ask | Qubed | 22:01 |
| ubottu | Qubed: 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. :-) | 22:01 |
| ninjabob7 | crimsun: so how do I use alsa instead of pulseaudio? I have the xfce4-mixer-alsa package installed, but I don't know how to tell it to use that one | 22:01 |
| Fryguy-- | !pulse | ninjabob7 | 22:02 |
| ubottu | ninjabob7: PulseAudio is a sound server intended as a drop-in replacement for !ESD - See https://wiki.ubuntu.com/PulseAudio for information and installation instructions | 22:02 |
| satlan | what is the shortcut to change direction? (ctrl-shift in windows) | 22:02 |
| Qubed | k....how do I make firefox, or a lot of other apps, actually start....the process starts, it shows in the taskbar, and then it disappears, and leaves a sleeping process | 22:02 |
| Gigi | its working | 22:02 |
| Gigi | I killed the old .wine folder and now it goes through | 22:02 |
| Gigi | thanks! | 22:03 |
| Fryguy-- | Qubed: what video card are you using | 22:03 |
| Qubed | ati radeon 9200 if I recall | 22:03 |
| Qubed | yeah that sounds right | 22:03 |
| Fryguy-- | Qubed: are you using 3d desktop effects | 22:03 |
| user_ | user_: enable the universe and multiverse repositories in synaptic>> i dont see multiverse and universe | 22:03 |
| Qubed | no | 22:03 |

| Fryguy-- | Qubed: are you sure | 22:04 |
| RenatoSilva | I've configured my DSL connection through #pppoeconf, but now I need to make my other dialed connection to work. I've got to put my modem driver working, I use Gnome-PPP to connect and it goes ok, but the only way to make internet really work was by commenting these lines [http://pastebin.com/d53d9fed8] in /etc/network/interfaces and restarting the system. I believe my prior DSL config was the cause of not being able to | 22:04 |
| Qubed | well, firefox is the main thing, like it will start for a while, then if I close it, I can't get it to start again | 22:04 |
| Salvat | hi every one | 22:04 |
| Finiras | I am looking for a command that lets me see system information - such as processor, RAM storage, free disk space - I do not have access to a graphical interface | 22:04 |
| Qubed | also uhh, the visual boy advance........it started weirding out on me doing the same thing | 22:04 |
| unop | Qubed, ok, make sure that firefox hasn't crashed and you have defunct/hung processes lying about - same with your advance | 22:05 |
| Fryguy-- | Finiras: cat /proc/cpuinfo, free, and df are the 3 commands you can use | 22:05 |
| Salvat | can anyone post some information that acutually works of how to install lineage2 in ubuntu | 22:05 |
| Qubed | I killed all firefox processes | 22:05 |
| Finiras | fryguy-- thanks I'll try it | 22:05 |
| unop | Qubed, killall -9 firefox-bin # at a terminal to make sure | 22:05 |
| user_ | i hate myself for switching to ubuntu :( | 22:06 |

| Broken | Hello - I've just built a new box from components I got from ebuyer. I had to get a replacement motherboard, because the previous one was a) unstable and b) wouldn't pass POST later on. | 22:06 |
| user_ | no compiling from sourch? | 22:06 |
| Qubed | yeah, no process killed, they is all dead | 22:06 |
| Salvat | i love ubuntu it blows windows away | 22:06 |
| Salvat | just give your self time and you will learn | 22:06 |
| Reformer81 | user_: Linux shouldn't make you hate yourself. So go to whatever you used before and be happy :) | 22:06 |

| unop | Qubed, now launch firefox from a terminal and see if it spits out any error messages that might help troubleshoot | 22:06 |
| Fryguy-- | Salvat: that's a subjective opinion, and doesn't apply to user_ since he comes from a somewhat more advanced linux backround | 22:07 |
| Salvat | i just made the switch a week ago and have already reintalled 4 times l;ol | 22:07 |

| Broken | I do not have this problem when simply deleting partitions. | 22:07 |
| user_ | I love linux, but switching distros is a little frustrating | 22:07 |
| Salvat | use the free cd | 22:07 |
| Salvat | that you wrote | 22:07 |
| Broken | It seems to me that it's either when I create a new partition or when the partition gets formatted that the problem arises. | 22:07 |

| user_ | well people here are telling me if i want to compile from source to switch distros again | 22:08 |
| crimsun | zelrikriando: libflashsupport should fix that particular symptom, but it may introduce instability. | 22:09 |
| user_ | is there a place to get a bunch of popular libraries? | 22:09 |
| crimsun | zelrikriando: (the underlying issues are all fixed in intrepid) | 22:09 |
| unop | user_, that would be bad advice -- and that's not true -- sometimes you do have to compile and that's fine in ubuntu too | 22:09 |
| Fryguy-- | user_: right, it's not the way you should be installing software in most distributions of linux | 22:09 |
| Fryguy-- | user_: distributions pre-package software for you for a reason (centos included) | 22:09 |
| crimsun | ninjasenses: remove the pulseaudio package, for starters | 22:09 |
| user_ | true, RPM has its frustrations too | 22:10 |
| greenfishx3 | how do i find out if im running i386 or i686 kernel? | 22:10 |
| Fryguy-- | greenfishx3: i386 | 22:10 |
| RenatoSilva | I've configured my DSL connection through #pppoeconf, but now I need to make my other dialed connection to work. I've got to put my modem driver working, I use Gnome-PPP to connect and it goes ok, but the only way to make internet really work was by commenting these lines [http://pastebin.com/d53d9fed8] in /etc/network/interfaces and restarting the system. I believe my prior DSL config was the cause of not being a | 22:10 |
| greenfishx3 | Fryguy--: sorry? | 22:10 |
| unop | Qubed, not really sure what is happening there -- maybe there's a problem with the gnome desktop keeping windows open | 22:10 |
| Fryguy-- | greenfishx3: use uname to check | 22:11 |
| unop | user_, what are you compiling? | 22:11 |
| user_ | pptp | 22:11 |
| Fryguy-- | unop: a package that is in ubuntu repositories | 22:11 |
| Qubed | I'd bet on something like that...because the visual boy advance thing, the main window starts up, but when the game is supposed to start, it doesn't.... | 22:11 |
| user_ | it wont find it... | 22:11 |
| greenfishx3 | thank you Fryguy-- | 22:11 |
| user_ | i dot see it in package manager too | 22:11 |
| unop | user_, maybe you don't have all the ubuntu repos enabled | 22:11 |
| Reformer81 | user_: Could you pastebin your sources.lst file? | 22:12 |
| Niklas_E | is there any icq client where you can change skin and gui? | 22:12 |
| unop | !repositories | user_ | 22:12 |
| ubottu | user_: The packages in Ubuntu are divided into several sections. More information at https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Repositories and http://www.ubuntu.com/ubuntu/components - See https://wiki.ubuntu.com/RecommendedSources for the recommended way to set up your repositories | 22:12 |
| Fryguy-- | user_: i don't you earlier to enable multiverse and universe repositories in synaptic, in the system menu | 22:12 |
| Fryguy-- | Niklas_E: pidgin | 22:12 |
| user_ | user_: enable the universe and multiverse repositories in synaptic | 22:12 |
| broken_quiche | Does anyone know of a reason for a livecd to freeze when formatting hard disk partitions? | 22:13 |
| user_ | cant find that option | 22:13 |
| Fryguy-- | broken_quiche: bad burn, incomptaible hardware, or a bad hard disk, or other bad hardware | 22:13 |
| Reformer81 | broken_quiche: First make sure it's actually frozen. That process can take a while without showing any progress. | 22:13 |
| drpcken | if i have the xorg.conf open, how can i disable a line? for instance if i want to disable a piece of hardware? | 22:13 |
| unop | user_, not synaptic -- but software properties -- actually, see the wiki that ubottu just recommended | 22:13 |
| broken_quiche | I left it for around 40 minutes. | 22:13 |
| w30 | broken_quiche, maybe it runs out of memory | 22:13 |
| Reformer81 | drpcken: Add # to the beginning of the line. | 22:13 |
| Bulzor | can anyone help me with a problem regarding firefox? | 22:13 |
| icenate001 | hi i tried to burn ubuntu to cd... but it didnt work said invalid cd type.. when i ran the setup | 22:13 |
| Fryguy-- | broken_quiche: make sure the disc is valid (run verify disc), and if it is, try using the alternate cd to install. if you still have problems, conduct some basic hardware diagnosis to make sure that all of your hardware is working correctly | 22:14 |
| unop | !ask | Bulzor | 22:14 |
| ubottu | Bulzor: 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. :-) | 22:14 |
| broken_quiche | Heh, it's got 4GB. | 22:14 |
| Fryguy-- | !ask | Bulzor | 22:14 |
| broken_quiche | of RAM | 22:14 |
| Bulzor | firefox crashes when i visit certain websites | 22:14 |
| Reformer81 | Bulzor: What sites? | 22:14 |
| broken_quiche | Fryguy--: Yeah, I did check CD for defects. | 22:14 |
| drpcken | so what if i want to disable a whole section of "InputDevice"? | 22:14 |
| Bulzor | like this one www.blabbermouth.net | 22:14 |
| Reformer81 | Bulzor: What version of Firefox? And what errors, if any, does it give you? | 22:14 |
| Fryguy-- | drpcken: append '#' to each line you want to comment out | 22:14 |
| broken_quiche | I'm thinking that this may be a hardware problem; I've only just built this box and I had a faulty mobo last time. | 22:15 |
| geirha | icenate001: http://screencasts.ubuntu.com/Downloading_and_Burning_an_Ubuntu_ISO | 22:15 |
| icenate001 | ty | 22:15 |
| broken_quiche | Well, OpenSUSE has done this. | 22:15 |
| Reformer81 | broken_quiche: If you're getting the same problem from two different distros, it's most like hardware-related. | 22:15 |
| user_ | actually someone mentioned that pptp isnt secure earlier.. Is there any way i can do a PoC on my works pptp server to prove to them that we can't use this old and busted method of VPN | 22:15 |
| broken_quiche | Reformer81: I mean that OpenSUSE succeeded in doing the job, sorry. | 22:16 |
| broken_quiche | And thanks. | 22:16 |
| Fryguy-- | user_: this isn't the correct place to be asking about conducting security audits on corporate networks | 22:16 |
| Reformer81 | broken_quiche: Oh, okay. | 22:16 |
| broken_quiche | Thanks to you, also, w30 | 22:16 |
| user_ | k... | 22:16 |
| Bulzor | It's the newest version of firefox and i dont get any error messages when it crashes | 22:16 |
| Fryguy-- | Bulzor: what page | 22:16 |
| w30 | Bulzor, Firefox gets flaky for me when I visit porn sites; I think they run about scripts on you when you load their pages so Firefox crashers rather than let them have their way with yo. Ha! | 22:16 |
| Reformer81 | Bulzor: Try running 'firefox' from a terminal. When it crashes, check the terminal window for error messages. | 22:16 |
| w30 | about a million | 22:17 |
| Qubed | aye I'm back....I just found out that I can't get firefox to show up as a user, but running as root it starts up fine, does that help any? | 22:17 |
| Bulzor | ok i will try | 22:17 |
| Fryguy-- | Qubed: going back to my original question from quite a few minutes ago that you ignored. are you running 3d effects, and are you sure | 22:17 |
| broken_quiche | Are there any BIOS settings that I could change in the hope that things will stabillise? | 22:17 |
| Qubed | what are 3d effects? | 22:17 |
| Fryguy-- | Qubed: use the gpu to render your desktop, it's enabled by default | 22:18 |
| broken_quiche | The thing is, I fiddled with BIOS settings before and, um, ended up with my system being unable to pass POST. | 22:18 |
| Reformer81 | Qubed: Turn them on and find out. Also, Google for "compiz." :) | 22:18 |
| unop | hmm, firefox crashed on me too visiting blabbermouth.net | 22:18 |
| Fryguy-- | Qubed: if your video card isn't set up correctly it can cause problems | 22:18 |
| Qubed | unless ubuntu installs 3d stuff automatically, I don't | 22:18 |
| Qubed | wait | 22:18 |
| cafree | I messed up my install a little, creating a partition and associating it with media, forgetting that's a folder that actually exists. How can I "reassign" /media to my root partition? | 22:18 |
| Qubed | compiz is bad? or good? | 22:18 |
| Fryguy-- | Qubed: it does | 22:18 |
| broken_quiche | Still, I supose that if that is the case, I can always remove the CMOS battery... right? | 22:18 |
| Reformer81 | broken_quiche: If you're not too good at fiddling with your BIOS, I wouldn't suggest doing it again :P | 22:18 |
| Fryguy-- | Qubed: compiz is 3d effects, installed by default | 22:18 |
| broken_quiche | Reformer81: Well I don't know whether it was PEBKAC or faulty components. | 22:18 |
| Fryguy-- | Qubed: turn them off in the appearance menu and see if problems persist | 22:18 |
| Bulzor | this is strange .. when i start firefox in terminal and visit blabbermouth it dont crash :S | 22:18 |
| tripps | what is recommended, to use my ATI radeon restricted driver supplied by ubuntu, or use the driver install utility from ATI's website? I've heard from wine folks and others that the compiled version from ATI is better. | 22:19 |
| Fryguy-- | cafree: just unmount it | 22:19 |
| Reformer81 | Bulzor: Heh... that is odd :) | 22:19 |
| greenfishx3 | whats the cli command to find out what speed/core your processor have? | 22:19 |
| Qubed | where would I find out where to enable/disable 3d effects? | 22:19 |
| Fryguy-- | greenfishx3: cat /proc/cpuinfo | 22:19 |
| Fryguy-- | Qubed: in the appereance menu | 22:19 |
| Qubed | k k | 22:19 |
| dew | tripps: i had decent luck using EnvyNG to install ati drivers | 22:19 |
| unop | cafree, unmount your /media partition -- and you have the folder back .. you'll need to disable the partition from loading up again by editing the /etc/fstab file and changing the mount point to where this partition should from now on be mounted | 22:19 |
| Bulzor | but dude thx alot .. starting firefox in terminal is np :D | 22:19 |
| Fryguy-- | !envy | dew: tripps: | 22:19 |
| tomd123 | cafree: reinstall maybe? if you just installed, you can just do a fresh install to make it clean | 22:19 |
| ubottu | dew: tripps:: 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. | 22:19 |
| cafree | Fryguy--, I think it's more than that. It's got the actually "pointers" or whatever to my cdroms and such | 22:20 |
| Fryguy-- | cafree: explain | 22:20 |
| Qubed | oh now this is good *appearance dialog does not show up* | 22:20 |
| Reformer81 | Bulzor: Actually, it is a problem... but if you're okay with it then cool. | 22:20 |
| dew | Fryguy--: thanks, but i /did/ say EnvyNG ;) | 22:20 |
| greenfishx3 | Fryguy--: hmm i have a 4400+ dual core cpu, that command you gave me says 1000mhz cpu mhz is that normal | 22:20 |
| cafree | Fryguy--, during the installation, I associated with a partition with /media, like I did with associating another partition with / | 22:21 |
| Bulzor | :) | 22:21 |
| Fryguy-- | greenfishx3: sure, ubuntu steps down your processors speed when you aren't using it | 22:21 |
| w30 | greenfishx3, proc has lots of specs, just cd /proc and do a cat meminfo and etc. on interesting file names in /proc | 22:21 |
| tripps | Fryguy--, dew, cool - checking that out | 22:21 |
| === charles is now known as snoopcat | ||
| Fryguy-- | cafree: so unmount it, and edit fstab so that you don't mount it again | 22:21 |
| cafree | Fryguy--, now when I mount that partition, I see several files: cdrom, cdrom0, cdrom1, etc etc | 22:21 |
| greenfishx3 | ah cool Fryguy-- and thanks w30 | 22:21 |
| Fryguy-- | greenfishx3: look at powernowd if you want details | 22:21 |
| Bulzor | i'm pretty new to linux but i got to say this is far better than windows :) much much better and faster | 22:21 |
| cafree | Fryguy-- yeah but now my /media doesn't display cdrom, cdrom0, cdrom1, etc | 22:22 |
| snoopcat | is there a code that goes in terminal for internet explorer 7? | 22:22 |
| unop | cafree, copy those directories into the /media folder | 22:22 |
| dew | i'm actually about to give installing the version from the amd site a crack | 22:22 |
| unop | cafree, or move them rather | 22:22 |
| greenfishx3 | Fryguy--: awesome ^_^ | 22:22 |
| Reformer81 | snoopcat: IE is a Windows program, not Linux. | 22:22 |
| nibsa1242b | where is the FF3 cache located? | 22:22 |
| Fryguy-- | cafree: so then unmount /media, remove it from fstab and reboot | 22:22 |
| snoopcat | oh | 22:22 |
| dew | see if it sorts out my shitty 1080p performance | 22:22 |
| snoopcat | ok | 22:22 |
| snoopcat | lol | 22:22 |
| Bulzor | why use internet explorer in linux? :/ | 22:22 |
| Fryguy-- | nibsa1242b: ~/.firefox/somewhere/deep/in/here | 22:22 |
| cafree | Fryguy--, I think you're misunderstanding what I'm saying. I did that | 22:22 |
| tomd123 | snoopcat: although ie has been known to run under wine+linux :) | 22:22 |
| snoopcat | to play a game=) | 22:22 |
| cafree | unop: that simple, huh? | 22:22 |
| Reformer81 | snoopcat: Use Firefox... | 22:22 |
| snoopcat | i have wine | 22:22 |
| cafree | unop, I'll give it a shot | 22:22 |
| Fryguy-- | cafree: and you restarted? | 22:22 |
| Reformer81 | snoopcat: Ah. | 22:22 |
| Manger | hey all | 22:22 |
| cafree | Fryguy--, yes | 22:23 |
| snoopcat | firefox doesnt work | 22:23 |
| nibsa1242b | snoopcat: tomd123 there is always ies4linux | 22:23 |
| snoopcat | it sucks | 22:23 |
| user_ | snoopcat to play a game??? | 22:23 |
| Manger | i need some assistance with troubleshooting a webcam | 22:23 |
| Fryguy-- | cafree: so now what is the problem | 22:23 |
| iplaythisgame | I have a question, allow mouse keys keeps enabling. Im not sure what is doing it but it comes on every couple days. Anyone run across this before? | 22:23 |
| snoopcat | lol yeh | 22:23 |
| user_ | sounds like a social engineering plou | 22:23 |
| user_ | y | 22:23 |
| unop | cafree, should be -- just make sure you associate this partition with a new mount point now (in /etc/fstab) -- that's it | 22:23 |
| Manger | are there any webcam gurus in the house? | 22:23 |
| Fryguy-- | cafree: you have /media back on your root partition, and things should be showing up | 22:23 |
| crater_fan | hello all, mplayer on my m/c freezes when starting a video file. No audio/video just a black window. Any idea what is happening ? | 22:23 |
| nibsa1242b | snoopcat: is the game in java? | 22:23 |
| Fryguy-- | !ask | Manger | 22:23 |
| ubottu | Manger: 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. :-) | 22:23 |
| snoopcat | well is there a code for hypercam? | 22:23 |
| snoopcat | yeah it is | 22:23 |
| dew | crater_fan: probably the wrong video output thingy | 22:23 |
| snoopcat | i have java | 22:23 |
| user_ | you can use about:cionfig to make your firefox look like explorer | 22:23 |
| snoopcat | but somebody said i need IE7 | 22:24 |
| Reformer81 | snoopcat: Have you tried it yet? | 22:24 |
| nibsa1242b | snoopcat: yeah, but it doesn't work right with FF3 unless you remove icedtea | 22:24 |
| cafree | Fryguy--, two things. A) my /media does not display my cdroms (maybe it shouldn't because they have no disks?), B, my partition, when mounted has entries for cdrom0, cdrom1, etc | 22:24 |
| snoopcat | yeh... | 22:24 |
| Bulzor | btw is it possible to start windows xp inside ubuntu using virtual box if your windows is on a different disk? | 22:24 |
| crater_fan | dew, I used to use -vo x11 that is not working right now. | 22:24 |
| cafree | unop, I'll try that | 22:24 |
| snoopcat | woah im confused | 22:24 |
| dew | crater_fan: did you try gl or gl2? | 22:24 |
| Fryguy-- | cafree: so put a disc in and see what happens | 22:24 |
| crater_fan | dew, how do I know what is the correct parameter now ? | 22:24 |
| snoopcat | well | 22:24 |
| Manger | ok will do | 22:24 |
| Reformer81 | Bulzor: No. Virtual machines won't let you boot an actual partition. | 22:24 |
| crater_fan | dew, no. I will try now. | 22:24 |
| snoopcat | can somebody help me get hyper cam? | 22:24 |
| dew | crater_fan: i dunno, trial and error? ;) | 22:24 |
| nibsa1242b | snoopcat: yeah, but it doesn't work right with FF3 unless you remove icedtea or iceweasel or something... I'll tell you what it is in a min | 22:24 |
| Reformer81 | snoopcat: Look at "Applications -> Add/Remove" | 22:24 |
| dew | crater_fan: also try xv | 22:25 |
| cafree | Fryguy--, all right, thanks for your help, but it sounds like this isn't an issue you've run across before. I'll play around and report back | 22:25 |
| crater_fan | dew, okay | 22:25 |
| Fryguy-- | cafree: i haven't run across any issue before, i don't use linux | 22:25 |
| Gman_ | i'm trying to install Ubuntu on an HP NetServer LC3. When booting with a bootable CD, the kernel uncompresses fine, but never loads. This happens with all combinations of boot options. It happens as well with the latest Debian (Lenny?). On the other hand, I can boot some other LiveCDs just fine (such as DSL). Any thoughts? | 22:25 |
| snoopcat | and then what? | 22:25 |
| Bulzor | Ok Reformer 81 | 22:25 |
| nibsa1242b | snoopcat: remove icedtea-gcjwebplugin it conflicts with Java running properly. | 22:25 |
| snoopcat | ok will do | 22:25 |
| cafree | Fryguy--, just like the atmosphere, eh? | 22:25 |
| Fryguy-- | cafree: sure | 22:25 |
| icenate001 | my friend is having trouble with CounterStrike:Source it is really laggy for him when he connects to a game using wine.. and on mine it doesnt lag one bit and my computer is much older than his | 22:25 |
| nibsa1242b | snoopcat: then close and reopen FF3 and see if that helps | 22:25 |
| cafree | Fryguy--, to each his own, I suppose | 22:26 |
| snoopcat | ok | 22:26 |
| crater_fan | dew, none of these worked. gl, gl2, x11, xv | 22:26 |
| Fryguy-- | cafree: the contents of /media is autogenerated and used on the fly, so if you put a disc in it should just work. if you really need to you can just recreate /media/cdrom or whatever. they are just directories | 22:26 |
| perlsyntax | what lib to i need to catch wireless packet? | 22:26 |
| dew | crater_fan: harsh, what gfx hardware do you have? | 22:27 |
| perlsyntax | is it pcap | 22:27 |
| Fryguy-- | cafree: hald is what is responsible for it | 22:27 |
| Fryguy-- | perlsyntax: yes | 22:27 |
| snoopcat | there is no iced tea on my system | 22:27 |
| snoopcat | lol... | 22:27 |
| crater_fan | dew, I think ATI X1400. | 22:27 |
| Ace2016 | Hi all | 22:28 |
| Manger | ok.. I have a creative WebCam Notebook Ultra. trying to get it to work. I think the owner tried some things, as the webcam should have been supported out of the box. When I try to run camorama or gqcam gives an error and says that the /dev/video0 cannot be found. lsusb shows it fine, modprobed gspca(the module responsible for the driver for the camera) and still same thing. I'm thinking I have to symlink something somewhere but I have no idea. Can anyon | 22:28 |
| nibsa1242b | snoopcat: good because you don't want Icedtea | 22:28 |
| perlsyntax | fryguy, that what it call on ubuntu? | 22:28 |
| snoopcat | alrighty | 22:28 |
| dew | crater_fan: did you install some driver for it? a restricted driver? | 22:28 |
| Fryguy-- | perlsyntax: no idea, apt-cache search should be able to help you find the right library. probably libpcap | 22:28 |
| snoopcat | so, is there a code that goes in terminal for hypercam? | 22:28 |
| saba | someone can help me with a SWF playing problem in Ubuntu?? | 22:28 |
| Ace2016 | where can i get flash 10 beta 2 for ubuntu? | 22:28 |
| Fryguy-- | !ask | saba | 22:28 |
| ubottu | saba: 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. :-) | 22:28 |
| unop | perlsyntax, pcap (or libpcap) is the library - you probably need something like wireshark or pcaputils to actually interface with the library | 22:28 |
| dew | crater_fan: in the system menu somewhere there's a thing that'll do it for you | 22:28 |
| Hilikus | hey guys, im trying to install the nvidia binary driver, im using kernel 2.6.24-19-server. im using envying but i get this error Error! Bad return status for module build on kernel: 2.6.24-19-server (i686) | 22:28 |
| Hilikus | Consult the make.log in the build directory | 22:28 |
| crater_fan | dew, I think so. I did install when I upgraded from 7.10 to 8.04 | 22:28 |
| Ace2016 | i mean there is an rpm but no deb | 22:28 |
| dew | crater_fan: well, check ;) | 22:29 |
| dew | crater_fan: i gotta go, but good luck ;) | 22:29 |
| hyphenated | Manger: best bet is to search the forum with the id number you get from lsusb | 22:29 |
| crater_fan | dew, okay. Thanks for the help. | 22:29 |
| dew | crater_fan: if you still have trouble, investigate EnvyNG | 22:29 |
| Fryguy-- | Hilikus: so pastebin the make.log | 22:29 |
| nibsa1242b | snoopcat: according to http://appdb.winehq.org/objectManager.php?sClass=version&iId=5266&iTestingId=11957 hypercam may work well under Wine | 22:29 |
| Hilikus | any ideas? the log says /var/lib/dkms/nvidia/173.14.05/build/nv.c:2024: error: implicit declaration of function ‘HYPERVISOR_memory_op’ | 22:29 |
| crater_fan | dew, okay. | 22:29 |
| perlsyntax | i think i have libpcap | 22:29 |
| hyphenated | Manger: or if you're lazy, google "ubuntu xxxx:xxxx" | 22:29 |
| perlsyntax | :) | 22:29 |
| Hilikus | Fryguy-- you want to see the whole log? | 22:29 |
| saba | i tried installing all of SWF player (gnash and flashplayer_nonfree) and both stops working in a day or two.. | 22:30 |
| mithraic | A (simple?) Compiz question: How do the settings for fixed viewports in the "Place Windows" plugin work? I tried entering "X Viewport Positions" and "Y Viewport Positions" of (2,1) to specify the top row, second column, to no apparent effect. | 22:30 |
| Manger | k | 22:30 |
| nibsa1242b | snoopcat: if you can't make it work under Wine, then I suggest finding some other type of Cam software that does run in linux and using it | 22:30 |
| icenate001 | are there any emulators for windows out there other than wine and cedega that would work for Counter strike source | 22:30 |
| icenate001 | i mean work better for cs:source | 22:30 |

| hyphenated | w30: even 'unzip' should work on executable zip files | 22:34 |

| craigbass1976 | ok. just checking | 22:47 |
| unop | craigbass1976, what is wrong with wine anyway? | 22:47 |
| Fryguy-- | mariachiac: poor detection of your graphics card. Change your drive in /etc/X11/xorg.conf to "vesa" so you can actually get the machine to come up with a gui, and then identify what video card you use, and the driver necessary for it, install the driver and be on your way | 22:47 |
| WalloO | craigbass1976, try reactos... maybe it can work... but in a VM | 22:47 |
| Tux2K8 | Fryguy--: if so , why my KAD is always firewalled in amule? (amule is in high ID) | 22:48 |

| unop | BlakStone, ok, here is something for you to consider -- if you performed a md5sum or sha1sum check on all images in a folder and you get a couple with the same checksum/hash - whats the chance that these images are not the same? | 22:59 |
| Reaper | With the default settings. | 22:59 |
| obidiah | kramer3d: it depends on your card. but in my experience, ndiswrapper is better 90% of the time | 22:59 |
| ikonia | Reaper: always use the native drivers if possible | 22:59 |
| Madassasin | Fryguy--, this also happened on opensuse 11, so how to I switch back to the nv driver? | 22:59 |
| kramer3d | O_O | 22:59 |
| kramer3d | thanks obidiah | 22:59 |
| obidiah | use the windows 98 driver for your card | 22:59 |
| Fryguy-- | Madassasin: edit /etc/X11/xorg.conf and change the driver | 22:59 |

| obidiah | kramered: use the windows 98 driver for your card | 23:00 |
| Reaper | Alrighat. | 23:00 |
| kramer3d | why dont they just make ndiswrapper the default :/ | 23:00 |
| drixomanbeta | now i installed xp w/ sp2...so what's next.. | 23:00 |
| ikonia | drixomanbeta: then you need to get the error, and report it back to we can assis | 23:00 |
| tomd123 | unop: they are the same if the hashes work out, it would have to be a once in a lifetime thing if it does happen | 23:00 |
| Fryguy-- | DroP-PsyChoSiS: it's detected fine, paste /var/log/Xorg.log or something | 23:00 |
| ikonia | drixomanbeta: you need to install ubuntu next | 23:00 |
| drixomanbeta | huh? | 23:00 |
| obidiah | kramer3d: it's a political thing | 23:00 |
| ikonia | drixomanbeta: you need to install ubuntu next | 23:00 |
| K915 | hi all :] | 23:00 |
| ikonia | K915: hello | 23:00 |
| Fryguy-- | kramer3d: because it involves the user of closed source non-linux proprietary drivers which is against the philosophy that ubuntu chose to adopt when picking packages to be available in the base system | 23:00 |
| obidiah | kramer3d: it's not politically correct from an open source ideology point of view | 23:01 |
| unop | tomd123, you should be telling BlakStone that -- not me :) | 23:01 |
| drixomanbeta | would it result in that BSOD again...? | 23:01 |
| Fryguy-- | drixomanbeta: no | 23:01 |
| tomd123 | unop: whoops, I mean blackstone | 23:01 |
| ikonia | drixomanbeta: no, and if it does get the exact error and report it back | 23:01 |
| Fryguy-- | drixomanbeta: stop being stubborn and just go install | 23:01 |
| obidiah | kramer3d: but in practice you end up using ndiswrapper for the wireless card and the proprietary driver for video | 23:01 |
| drixomanbeta | okay... | 23:01 |
| Lyk4n | A guy is getting windows support in here, lol.. | 23:01 |

| Madassasin | Is anyone able to help with the nvidia proprietary driver? After I log in, all I see in a mouse cursor with an orange background 0.0. Ideas, please? | 23:02 |
| ikonia | Madassasin: does the problem go away if you switch to something such as nv or vesa | 23:03 |
| Lyk4n | I know that, I came in after he said he has just installed service pack 2 for XP and was asking for what to do next.. | 23:03 |
| Madassasin | ikonia, yea, nv works | 23:03 |
| Lyk4n | Sorry if I misunderstood, that's when I came in.. | 23:03 |

| ikonia | Madassasin: what driver version and what card do you have | 23:03 |
| Madassasin | ikonia, I'm not usre 'bout driver version, it's the latests available in the repositories (including backports and proposed), but my card is 8800GT | 23:04 |

| kramer3d | kk | 23:04 |
| drixomanbeta | do i create a new logical or primary partition? | 23:04 |
| obidiah | kramer3d: in a shell, enter the command: 'lspci -vvv' | 23:05 |
| jorisslob | Ok, fixed it with gconf-editor | 23:05 |
| Fryguy-- | drixomanbeta: primary | 23:05 |
| obidiah | also do lsusb | 23:05 |
| Madassasin | ikonia, sorta, I had it on opensuse 11 as well and I scrapepd it for ubuntu | 23:05 |
| ikonia | drixomanbeta: thats up to you, partition as you see fit, but keep it as simple as possible | 23:05 |
| Madassasin | ikonia, but on gutsy I didn't | 23:05 |
| drixomanbeta | what's the mount point for the ntfs and the new partition? | 23:05 |
| DroP-PsyChoSiS | the prob is that it wont detect the xserver while trying to install my proprietry radeon 9200 drivers | 23:05 |
| ikonia | Madassasin: looks like it's worth logging a bug with nvidia then | 23:05 |
| ikonia | Madassasin: try the "nvidia-glx" package then, or the nvidia-glx-new, see how they behave differently | 23:06 |
| Fryguy-- | drixomanbeta: new mount point should be /, leave the ntfs one default | 23:06 |
| ikonia | drixomanbeta: don't set that up at install | 23:06 |
| Madassasin | ikonia, I'll try | 23:06 |
| Fryguy-- | drixomanbeta: pretty much every screen is going to be default | 23:06 |
| obidiah | kramer3d: once you get the pci id for your wireless card, you can google it | 23:06 |
| ikonia | Madassasin: just for interests sake | 23:06 |
| mariachiac | Fryguy-- once I've done the commands you've specified for hte video card. Will i have ot install the drivers? | 23:06 |
| Madassasin | ikonia, ok, rebooting | 23:06 |
| DroP-PsyChoSiS | Fryguy--, http://pastebin.com/m108c1fdd | 23:06 |
| obidiah | kramer3d: and you can look at the list of drivers recommened at ndiswrapper.sourceforge.net | 23:06 |
| Fryguy-- | mariachiac: what commands | 23:06 |
| drixomanbeta | do i need a swap space and it being primary or logical? | 23:07 |
| grgs_ | hello ... I need your help | 23:07 |
| Fryguy-- | drixomanbeta: yes you need swap, probably make it logical | 23:07 |
| ikonia | drixomanbeta: you can only have primay partitions of 4 or less | 23:07 |
| Fryguy-- | drixomanbeta: should be able the same size as your ram | 23:07 |
| Fryguy-- | !ask | grgs_ | 23:07 |
| ubottu | grgs_: 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. :-) | 23:07 |
| grgs_ | ok | 23:08 |
| Fryguy-- | DroP-PsyChoSiS: like i said, no idea | 23:08 |
| mariachiac | ctrl-alt-f1, sudo nano /etc/X11/xorg.conf, scroll down to your video device, change driver to vesa _Mart_ | 23:08 |
| mariachiac | then sudo /etc/init.d/?dm restart _rp | 23:08 |
| Fryguy-- | !fglrx | DroP-PsyChoSiS | 23:08 |
| ubottu | DroP-PsyChoSiS: For Ati/NVidia/Matrox video cards, see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/BinaryDriverHowto | 23:08 |
| Fryguy-- | mariachiac: yah, no driver install needed, vesa is always there | 23:08 |
| mariachiac | ok | 23:09 |
| Bora | hello, any way to rename a new installed hard drive? | 23:09 |
| ikonia | Bora: what do you mean, rename ? | 23:09 |
| drixomanbeta | okay do i leave the boot loader option as it is ? | 23:10 |
| Bora | I want to have my hard drive name to be Bora on > computer | 23:10 |
| ikonia | Bora: change the label | 23:10 |
| Fryguy-- | drixomanbeta: put it in /dev/sda | 23:10 |
| ikonia | drixomanbeta: leave it at default for the installer | 23:10 |
| ikonia | drixomanbeta: don't change anything | 23:10 |
| grgs_ | I install gutsy ubuntu version and i have problem to HUAWEI E220 3G Modem. The problem is that there is in / dev the ttyUSB0 or ttyUSB1. Any Idea? | 23:11 |
| drixomanbeta | what | 23:11 |
| opt1k | hey, what do I have to do to forward ports so i can get my torrent running? | 23:11 |
| Bora | where to change? i try to right-click and select rename, but it says something about backend not supported | 23:11 |
| drixomanbeta | i got two guy telling me differnet procedure... | 23:11 |
| ikonia | drixomanbeta: select the default options for the boot loader | 23:11 |
| ikonia | drixomanbeta: no you've not | 23:11 |
| Fryguy-- | opt1k: ubuntu runs with a firewall rule to enable everything. consult your router documentation for how to forward ports on your router | 23:11 |
| drixomanbeta | the default on my is (hd0) | 23:11 |
| ikonia | Bora: what file system is on it | 23:11 |
| ikonia | drixomanbeta: thats fine | 23:11 |
| drixomanbeta | is that it? | 23:11 |
| drixomanbeta | okay... | 23:12 |
| unop | BlakStone, you still here? | 23:12 |
| Bora | ikonia: i thing it is ex2 | 23:12 |
| opt1k | Fryguy-- I did that, but what service name do I have to put to forward ports for torrents? www? https? i don't get it | 23:12 |
| Fryguy-- | opt1k: the service name doesn't matter it's the port you want to forward, and all torrent clients support running on a different port | 23:12 |
| Fryguy-- | opt1k: consult your router documentation, it's not an ubuntu problem | 23:13 |
| opt1k | Fryguy--: btw, where can i change the settings to ubuntu firewall, and tx for this one | 23:13 |
| Fryguy-- | opt1k: edit iptables rules manually, if you need a gui, try firestarter | 23:13 |
| Gman99999 | is there anyone that can tell me why the hell I can't mount my windows partition anymore it says cannot mount volume you are not priviledged enough to mount volume | 23:13 |
| PaulATL | Hello - I just upgraded from gutsy to hardy, and I can no longer redirect audio to my USB headset. On gutsy, I used the asoundconf command, and it worked for most programs. On hardy, I installed all the pulseaudio packages, but still cannot figure out how to redirect audio output to my USB headset. How do I do it? | 23:13 |
| opt1k | Fryguy--: thanks | 23:13 |
| Gman99999 | there is no fstab file to change either, the fstab is blank | 23:13 |
| unop | Gman99999, usually only root can mount fixed volumes | 23:13 |
| Bora | ikonia: please stay with me for this matter.. i first want to rename this 500G to Bora, and then make my other 500G ntfs openable to copy all to this new hard, and then format the ntfs with something else like ex2 | 23:13 |
| Fryguy-- | Gman99999: fstab can't be blank | 23:14 |
| ikonia | Bora: just grabbing the command, it's something like lablext3 | 23:14 |
| unop | Gman99999, if your /etc/fstab file is blank -- you really ought to be worried | 23:14 |
| Fryguy-- | Gman99999: make sure you are looking at the right file | 23:14 |
| Gman99999 | how do i access it properly? | 23:14 |
| Fryguy-- | Gman99999: gksu gedit /etc/fstab | 23:14 |
| ricardo_ | Hey there everybody... How do I enable num lock automatically at boot? I'm on Kubuntu Hardy, and supposedly numlockx isn't an option on KDE. Thanks. | 23:14 |
| unop | Gman99999, define access actually - read or write? | 23:14 |
| Gman99999 | read | 23:15 |
| Fryguy-- | Gman99999: sudo cat /etc/fstab | 23:15 |
| unop | Gman99999, less /etc/fstab | 23:15 |
| Gman99999 | ok i have an fstab | 23:15 |
| unop | Fryguy--, unnecessary use of sudo there | 23:15 |
| Fryguy-- | unop: yes | 23:15 |
| Bora | ikonia: what is lablext3 how to access it? is it a command? | 23:15 |
| ikonia | Bora: thats not the command, it's like that, I can't remember the correct command name, I'm just searching | 23:15 |

| [swb] | xchat, true transparency, I found a patch that is quite old on the net, anyone know why its not in the default packages? | 23:16 |
| ikonia | Bora: you could always do it within gparted | 23:16 |
| Gman99999 | unop I have a bunch of stuff in the fstab what do i write in there to make it so that it can be like it used to be abd i can read my windows partition? | 23:16 |
| ganesh | hi everybody | 23:16 |
| grgs_ | I install gutsy ubuntu version and i have problem to HUAWEI E220 3G Modem. The problem is that there is in / dev the ttyUSB0 or ttyUSB1. Any Idea? | 23:16 |
| Fryguy-- | [swb]: no idea, find the email of the package maintainer and inform them | 23:16 |
| Gman99999 | unop this seems to break after every few updates | 23:16 |
| Bora | gparted did the format and select file type, but can't rename the label to something i want | 23:16 |
| Niceguy1012 | Yo | 23:16 |
| ikonia | Bora: why not | 23:16 |
| [swb] | Fryguy--, how do I find that? | 23:16 |
| unop | Gman99999, if you want normal users to be able to mount it, you'll need to add a 'user' option to the mount-point -- but your windows partition ought to mount automatically if it has an entry in the /etc/fstab | 23:17 |
| Bulzor | is it hard to make the desktop look like a kube if you know what I mean | 23:17 |
| Fryguy-- | [swb]: apt-cache show xchat or something. i have no idea | 23:17 |
| grgs_ | thanks | 23:17 |
| Fryguy-- | Bulzor: install compizconfig-settings-manager and configure compmiz however you want (including the cube) | 23:17 |
| Gman99999 | unop I'll pm you what's in the file | 23:17 |
| Bora | ikonia: i don't know, it's a brand new hard it was and i was able to format it using ext3 but don't know how to label it something i want? how? | 23:17 |

| PaulATL | Hello - can anyone help me with pulseaudio on hardy? I want to be able to switch my default audio output between my speakers and my USB headset. I can't seem to make it work. | 23:17 |
| unop | Gman99999, you might be interested in the pmount command. pmount-hal /dev/sdXX # should mount the device without the need for sudo | 23:18 |
| unop | Gman99999, i don't take PMs -- please use a !pastebin | 23:18 |
| Bulzor | Ok thx alot Fryguy | 23:18 |
| Gman99999 | unop jeez so much work | 23:18 |
| tripps | ok I used envyng to get latest drivers. I rebooted and sitting at 640x480. Screen resolution under Admin menu is useless (seems completely different from gutsy, where it let you select display driver, etc.). I'm using hardy heron. Please help me get my desktop back | 23:18 |
| gcarrillo | hehe | 23:18 |
| unop | Gman99999, it's also so that other people can contribute - we have no exclusivity in here | 23:19 |
| Gman99999 | ok | 23:19 |
| ikonia | Bora: open gparted, then use the option "set disk label" under partition | 23:19 |
| Fryguy-- | !pm | Gman99999 | 23:19 |

| unop | Gman99999, does the volume not mount on startup?? | 23:21 |
| Fryguy-- | billy12: did you restart the interface after changing | 23:21 |
| Bora | ikonia: ok, i selected msdos? is it ok? and now format it to what? and how to rename the hard to Bora so it appears on my computer as Bora? | 23:22 |
| ikonia | Bora: what ? | 23:22 |
| billy12 | Fryguy--, yes | 23:22 |
| ikonia | Bora: I think that maybe the wrong option | 23:22 |
| arhlo | hi.. | 23:22 |

| Fryguy-- | Bulzor: it's called "cube" lol | 23:24 |
| PaulATL | arhlo: I need to go get my laptop, but I think I can help you... brb | 23:24 |

| Bulzor | nice memory there :) | 23:25 |

| SliMM | ikonia: what about /var? | 23:25 |
| ikonia | Bora: you want to change the disk label, | 23:25 |
| Fryguy-- | SliMM: /src is just a convention, you an put things whever you want, and /var is another suitable location for it | 23:25 |
| ikonia | SliMM: what about it ? | 23:25 |
| gcarrillo | nm...gnome-backgrounds | 23:26 |

| DigitallyCrazy | tripps: I'll be back, let me switch to linux | 23:26 |
| ikonia | SliMM: there is nothing "wrong" with using /var, you asked for opinions and I'm informing you that FHS suggests /srv | 23:26 |
| CSills | anybody good with Pro-ftpc | 23:26 |

| SliMM | ikonia: and I sometimes end up moving a lot of things around because I believe it would be better | 23:29 |
| ikonia | Bora: the disk name is just a name - nothing more | 23:29 |
| ikonia | SliMM: thats part of the learning experience | 23:29 |
| Bora | ikonia: now don't need to change the disk lable... | 23:29 |
| Gman99999 | Fryguy-- it says i still can't mount it even after i changed that | 23:29 |
| unop | Gman99999, there might be problems with the volume and ntfs-3g is refusing to mount it because of that -- what really happens when you try and mount it manually? | 23:29 |
| Fryguy-- | i wonder why freebsd doesn't follow fhs for that | 23:29 |
| Sample | does anyone know why my gnome sometimes hangs during loading. i get the login screen, and when i enter my user\pass it loads an empty orange screen with a grey rectangle in the upper left part of the screen. when i cross over it with a mouse, it changes to a text-selection cursor. and i can do nothing from there. any ideas? | 23:29 |

| Bora | ikonia: but just need to change the name lable of the hard drive to appear on my computer | 23:30 |
| SliMM | ikonia: it is indeed | 23:30 |
| Fryguy-- | SliMM: ? | 23:30 |
| Gman99999 | unop i usually don't mount i manually, i usually don't like having to deal with extremely mental commands | 23:30 |
| ikonia | Bora: ok - so you don't "need" to | 23:30 |
| Gman99999 | unop how do i mount it manually everytime i ask this question i get a different answer | 23:31 |
| unop | Gman99999, I know and really thats not the point -- i'm asking you to test whether the volume is actually in a mountable state | 23:31 |
| SliMM | Fryguy--: is it safe to let the users that can be accessed via ssh use "sudo"? | 23:31 |
| Bora | ikonia: yes i need to change the name label!!!!!!! | 23:31 |
| ikonia | Bora: why ? | 23:31 |
| ikonia | Bora: why do you "need" to | 23:31 |
| Fryguy-- | SliMM: sure | 23:31 |
| ikonia | Bora: the disk label does not effect anything | 23:31 |
| unop | Gman99999, sudo mount -t ntfs-3g /dev/sdXX /path/to/mount_point | 23:31 |
| Gman99999 | unop ok i just find it weird that i get a different answer from every person i've asked about mounting a hard drive | 23:31 |
| Bora | ikonia: come on, to know the diferences between my other hards... | 23:32 |
| SliMM | Fryguy--: I don't really like this sudo thing, su seems better to me | 23:32 |
| Fryguy-- | Gman99999: people do it different ways | 23:32 |
| Fryguy-- | SliMM: so then use su | 23:32 |
| unop | Gman99999, everyone's just looking at the problem in different ways | 23:32 |
| ikonia | Bora: they are not all called the same | 23:32 |
| Gman99999 | what is the path to the mount point? | 23:32 |
| unop | Gman99999, also, there is usually more than one way to get from A to B on *nix | 23:33 |
| Bora | ikonia: i know, but are you telling me that i don't have the freedom to name my disks the way i want them? | 23:33 |
| ikonia | Bora: no, I'm not telling you anything | 23:33 |
| unop | Gman99999, any thing you like -- just make sure that directory exists first | 23:33 |
| ikonia | Bora: but in that case - why am I looking for the command for you | 23:33 |
| SliMM | Fryguy--: the only reason I see for using sudo is that a user could change the root password and su wouldn't work anymore :-? | 23:33 |
| ikonia | Bora: look for yourself | 23:33 |
| unop | Gman99999, example. /media/windows | 23:33 |
| Bora | ikonia: ok... thanks.... | 23:33 |
| Fryguy-- | SliMM: and it promotes using root for single commands instead of staying in a root shell and accidentally blowing up your system | 23:34 |
| Gman99999 | can i make up any name for it | 23:34 |
| hiptobecubic | what is the command in the terminal for displaying system information? Such as kernel version, ubuntu version, etc? | 23:34 |
| Fryguy-- | unop: he already has an fstab entry: http://pastebin.com/m719923c1 | 23:34 |
| Gman99999 | unop this is where things are confusing, I don't know what to call it, if it needs a specific name or what | 23:34 |
| SliMM | Fryguy--: I'll think of this harder | 23:34 |
| unop | Gman99999, you can indeed - but you need to have an empty directory by that name | 23:34 |
| jftsang | Hello | 23:34 |
| Fryguy-- | hiptobecubic: uname -r for kernel version | 23:34 |
| hiptobecubic | Fryguy--, ok thakns | 23:34 |

| SliMM | ha! what a pretty SD car icon! | 23:35 |
| unop | Fryguy--, i'm not even going to bother converting that mount point into something readable :) | 23:35 |
| Fryguy-- | jftsang: append & to commands to put them into the backround, ctrl-z an already running command to suspend it, us bg to put it into the background, fg to bring it back to the foreground, jobs to see a list of jobs running in the current shell | 23:35 |
| jftsang | does the & go before the command or after it? | 23:36 |
| unop | after | 23:36 |
| jftsang | so application& | 23:36 |
| unop | yes | 23:36 |
| Fryguy-- | unop: it's Windows(hard drive) in ascii | 23:36 |

| Hilikus | what's the difference between a server kernel and a "common" kernel? | 23:46 |
| ace | what is gconf-editor??????? | 23:47 |
| JanWinnicki | unop: cause i don't know if it is possible at all, i know that i can unmount, but don't know how to eject without terminal | 23:47 |
| ikonia | Hilikus: one aimed at home hardware, the other at enterprise hardware (bottom line) | 23:47 |
| ammar | mi poi aiutare | 23:47 |
| unop | ace, it's something like the registry editor on windows -- only it's for the gnome desktop | 23:47 |
| ammar | perfavore | 23:47 |
| ikonia | Hilikus: same source tree, just more specific options | 23:47 |
| yaser | Enter text here... | 23:47 |
| ace | how do i run it | 23:47 |
| ikonia | ace: what do you want to change ? | 23:48 |
| unop | ammar, no one here speaks english -- you need to go to #ubuntu-it | 23:48 |
| unop | ace, type gconf-editor in alt+f2 | 23:48 |
| ace | i wanna know about it | 23:48 |
| yaser | hiiiii | 23:48 |
| ikonia | ace: playing around with it is not the best option, use it if you have something specific to do | 23:48 |
| ikonia | yaser: hello, can we help ? | 23:48 |
| ace | k | 23:48 |
| Hilikus | ikonia i'm runnig a server (mysql, php, ampache and a bunch of other stuff) and also mythtv. im using a server kernel. since i upgraded to the lastest kernel 2.6.24-19-server the nvidia driver stopped working. in the previous kernel i installed it using envyNG but it doesnt work now | 23:49 |
| ace | does it may effect if i change anything in dat editor | 23:49 |
| Hilikus | so i'm thinking on changing to a different kernel, is that a good idea? | 23:49 |
| ikonia | Hilikus: why are you using the server kernel ? | 23:49 |
| ikonia | Hilikus: the nvidia drivers are "home use" so therefore not setup to run with the server kernel | 23:49 |
| unop | ace, yes, use it with caution - it is not a toy or a game -- obviously | 23:49 |
| Hilikus | ikonia because of the LAMP, samba, etc | 23:50 |
| ace | k | 23:50 |
| ikonia | Hilikus: that doesn't mean you need a server kernel | 23:50 |
| ikonia | Hilikus: are you running this on a home PC ? | 23:50 |
| Hilikus | ikonia yes | 23:50 |
| ace | can i have any notes or materials 2specify how 2use the editor | 23:50 |
| ikonia | Hilikus: ok, so use the desktop kernel | 23:50 |
| ikonia | Hilikus: that way things like restricted drivers are available | 23:51 |

| ace | where colud i get it 4m | 23:52 |
| Hilikus | i basically have a hybrid. its server distro with a window manager | 23:52 |
| ikonia | Hilikus: basiclly - you need to install the linux-generic image | 23:53 |
| Hilikus | ikonia because it is a server | 23:53 |
| ikonia | Hilikus: image, I mean package | 23:53 |
| joelfrederico | tripps, still there? | 23:53 |
| ikonia | Hilikus: your not running it on a server though | 23:53 |

| === joelfrederico is now known as DigitallyCrazy | ||

| === ace is now known as axn | ||
| DigitallyCrazy | tripps:start at the beginning | 23:54 |
| Hilikus | ikonia oh the other reason i used server is because i didnt want all the bloatware that comes with desktop, like gnome and all that | 23:54 |
| akuma5 | <unop> i need help seting mine up can you help me i have been trying since yesterday | 23:54 |
| ikonia | Hilikus: you can uninstall that | 23:54 |
| DigitallyCrazy | tripps: you started with restricted drivers? | 23:55 |
| tripps | DigitallyCrazy, yes and they worked fine | 23:55 |
| ikonia | Hilikus: so for the sake of 10 minutes of removing packages, you've damaged your compatability and performance | 23:55 |
| unop | akuma5, ok, tell us what you have done so far and where you are encountering trouble at | 23:55 |
| DigitallyCrazy | tripps: so then you went for EnvyNG? | 23:55 |
| tripps | DigitallyCrazy, I used envyng to install the latest | 23:55 |
| tripps | DigitallyCrazy, yes | 23:55 |
| DigitallyCrazy | tripps: what happened? | 23:55 |
| tripps | DigitallyCrazy, rebooted, X complained it was in lowres mode, and I couldn't get anything to work | 23:55 |

| axn | i have installed compiz & i have tried to keep different wallpapers on different workspaces but i did not get them can u help out | 23:56 |
| ikonia | Hilikus: well, thats just how it is I'm afraid, server OS's are not aimed at home user hardware / setups | 23:56 |
| Hilikus | ikonia is that generic kernel the same that comes with the desktop flavor? | 23:56 |
| ikonia | Hilikus: I've explained how to fix it, | 23:56 |
| tripps | DigitallyCrazy, rebooted and still in low res mode | 23:56 |

| DigitallyCrazy | tripps: okay | 23:56 |
| meww | any one cna help me | 23:57 |

| unop | WebcamWonder, what is the current colour depth - you can check /var/log/Xorg.log.* | 23:58 |
| DigitallyCrazy | tripps: EnvyNG dl's drivers and installs them as packages sorta | 23:58 |
| jc__ | how can I remove a program from the update manager? | 23:58 |
| tripps | DigitallyCrazy, right | 23:58 |
| ikonia | jc__: remove it from your system then update manage won't pick it up | 23:59 |
| DigitallyCrazy | tripps: and it does so in such a way that they won't be upgraded by ubuntu automatically | 23:59 |
| Hilikus | ikonia just to make sure, by installing that package it wont install the full Gnome stuff right? | 23:59 |
| unop | akuma5, ok, and what are you having trouble with? | 23:59 |
| DigitallyCrazy | tripps: so you'd need to uninstall everything | 23:59 |
| axn | how do i get different wallpapers on different workspaces? | 23:59 |
| tripps | DigitallyCrazy, ok then how do you actually "use" them | 23:59 |
| ikonia | Hilikus kernel is nothing to do with gnome - so your fine | 23:59 |

| meww | I can't view my Vista shared folder in ubuntu???????? anyone can help | 23:59 |
| Hilikus | ikonia thats what i thought, thanks | 23:59 |

| drpcken | hey i'm trying to disable the little eraser head mouse cursor mover on my laptop, i tried commenting out the inputs on the xorg.conf but it didn't work | 23:59 |
| ikonia | jc__: ahhh apt-cache policy | 23:59 |
| akuma5 | <unop> the first part i kinda skipped it | 23:59 |
