| pukeman | will the technology ever exist? | 00:06 |

| tripps | DigitallyCrazy, they show up as not in use | 00:07 |
| * Brandano still thinks nobody will ever need more than 640 kb of memory anyway | 00:07 | |
| akuma5 | both | 00:07 |

| ikonia | pukeman: it's not an ubuntu support issue, check out ubottus message to you | 00:07 |

| pukeman | i was wondering if ubuntu would support my 128bit cpu. | 00:07 |
| Elijah | is there a partition manager viewer in ubuntu? | 00:07 |
| DigitallyCrazy | tripps: just reinstalling the drivers | 00:07 |
| pukeman | of if they made a version of it avaiable. | 00:07 |
| DigitallyCrazy | tripps: it should reset your xorg | 00:08 |
| ikonia | pukeman: you don't have one, please don't be silly | 00:08 |
| tripps | DigitallyCrazy, doing that now | 00:08 |

| ikonia | Nevermind: you dont need to use caps | 00:11 |
| ikonia | Nevermind: you don't need to ask every 30 seconds | 00:11 |
| DigitallyCrazy | tripps: okay, can you find an ATI menu item in the system ->administration menu? | 00:11 |
| DigitallyCrazy | tripps: don't use ubuntu to configure your display anymore | 00:12 |
| Nevermind | not 30seconds - 1 minute ))) | 00:12 |
| tripps | DigitallyCrazy, nope | 00:12 |
| DigitallyCrazy | tripps: okay... give me a minute... | 00:12 |
| the_fafa | Nevermind, i had a similar problem but i dont know a fix :( the brightness control works only if i remove the energy cell | 00:12 |
| Brandano | meww, try sudo mount -t cifs //<UAC path to share> /<mountpoint> -ouser=<windows user>[,nounix] | 00:12 |
| Elijah | fanatixx, so gparted isnt installed by default? kinda odd | 00:12 |
| tripps | DigitallyCrazy, what command can I use to see what driver is loaded? | 00:12 |
| kidbuntu | ..them | 00:12 |
| ksoviero | i need help installing the svn version of cheese | 00:12 |
| kidbuntu | anyone help.. it seems the documentation can't help me.. i have 2 harddisk.. i want to dual boot the, | 00:12 |
| WebcamWonder | Elijah: sudo aptitude install gparted | 00:12 |
| akuma5 | <Brandano> cifs | 00:12 |
| fanatixx | Elijah, i've used gparted and it worked for me.... unfortunatelly i don't know any other gui for a partition manager | 00:13 |
| Jonty | how long should running updmap-sys take? | 00:13 |
| akuma5 | <Brandano> should i use it instead | 00:13 |
| Brandano | yup, if you want read-write access | 00:13 |
| MeRodent | Elijah, or just use gparted from the live cd | 00:13 |
| kidbuntu | can anyone teach me to understand this root (hd0,0) | 00:13 |
| ksoviero | when i try to install cheese from the trunk (svn) i get an error that i cant fix | 00:13 |
| Elijah | i installed it, do i run from terminal | 00:13 |
| Brandano | the nounix option helps with older win98 shares with no access control | 00:13 |
| kidbuntu | and how do i arrange these parameters when trying to dual boot my other harddisk /dev/sdb5 | 00:13 |
| WebcamWonder | Elijah: It should be under the menus, don't remember exactly where | 00:14 |
| akuma5 | <Brandano> can you help me set it up or a link to a tutorial | 00:14 |
| fanatixx | Elijah, i think it's not installed by default to prevent user to do something wrong.... but it is on the Gnome menus in the liveCD | 00:14 |
| MeRodent | Elijah, just sudo gparted | 00:14 |
| Brandano | Let me dig it up | 00:14 |
| kidbuntu | and how do i arrange these parameters when trying to dual boot my other harddisk /dev/sdb5 with (hd0,0) | 00:14 |
| fanatixx | Elijah, you may press ALT+F2 and type it | 00:14 |
| ksoviero | is there a irc room for cheese (or gnome in general) | 00:14 |
| Elijah | got it | 00:15 |
| Elijah | i dunno, windows has one so i just figured ubuntu would, by default | 00:15 |
| fanatixx | Elijah, i dont know if you need to be root/fakeroot to use it | 00:15 |
| DigitallyCrazy | tripps: ahhh, yuck | 00:15 |
| Elijah | i mean who wouldn't want a partition manager | 00:15 |
| tripps | DigitallyCrazy, ? | 00:15 |
| WebcamWonder | Does the XV output has a bug with screwing up colors? | 00:15 |
| Brandano | akuma5, http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=12306 | 00:15 |
| DigitallyCrazy | tripps: apparently some other users have had this problem | 00:15 |
| Elijah | ill be darned though, i have 30 GB unused space in a unallocated part of the disk | 00:16 |
| MeRodent | Elijah, if you're smart enough to use one without stuffing up your system then your smart enough to find out how to install it. | 00:16 |
| DigitallyCrazy | tripps: and they had to uninstall xserv-xgl and compiz before getting it to work | 00:16 |
| akuma5 | <Brandano> thanx | 00:16 |
| tripps | DigitallyCrazy, ugh | 00:16 |
| Elijah | MeRodent, i guess thats a good point | 00:16 |
| DigitallyCrazy | tripps: yeah | 00:16 |
| tripps | DigitallyCrazy, xgl is not installed | 00:16 |
| tripps | DigitallyCrazy, BTW | 00:16 |
| fanatixx | Elijah, as ubuntu is a distro focused on the end user, i guess they meant to prevent them to use gparted incorrectelly | 00:16 |
| Varak_ | my rootkit is using that, just ignore it | 00:16 |
| DigitallyCrazy | tripps: http://ubuntuforums.org/archive/index.php/t-765565.html | 00:16 |

| kramer3d | can someone help me install ndiswrapper on hardy heron? | 00:16 |
| Brandano | Now, anyone knows how I can install the libdvdread dev packages using apt-get? | 00:17 |
| chouaiiiib | how to uninstall a tgz pak | 00:17 |
| kramer3d | i cant seem to make it work from Add/Remove Programs | 00:17 |
| openlinux | can sudo execute with other users instead of root? | 00:17 |
| fanatixx | Elijah, it is used for the swap memory, the virtual memory on your hard disk | 00:17 |
| Nevermind | does any1 know how to fix this: Fn+F7 and Fn+F8 doesnt work to control the BRIGHTNESS OF MY LAPTOP'S SCREEN +applet doesnt work too (laptop - HP G700) (i will not spam... dont kick, ok?) | 00:17 |
| Elijah | kinda like windows paging file? | 00:17 |
| ikonia | Nevermind: you don't need to use CAPS LOCK, please stop | 00:17 |
| fanatixx | Elijah, exactly | 00:18 |
| Brandano | openlinux, I believe you can run sudo su .... I am not sure. i am a bit new to this way of doing things | 00:18 |
| tripps | DigitallyCrazy, how do I find out what driver is loaded? | 00:18 |
| Elijah | it's 1.39 GB so thats what i am guessing | 00:18 |
| Elijah | fanatixx, thanks | 00:18 |
| ikonia | Brandano: no, thats not recommeneded | 00:18 |
| kramer3d | can someone help me install ndiswrapper on hardy heron? or point me to a tutorial | 00:18 |
| tripps | DigitallyCrazy, I mean compiz certainly isn't running right now and I don't use XGL | 00:18 |
| ikonia | openlinux: sudo exectues "super use privileges" | 00:18 |
| fanatixx | Elijah, no problems! glad to help you | 00:18 |
| Elijah | fanatixx, can i adjust that or is that determined on install? | 00:18 |
| openlinux | what should i use to run comands as another user? | 00:18 |
| ikonia | openlinux: su -c ? | 00:18 |
| unop | chouaiiiib, a .tgz (.tar.gz) file is a compressed archive -- if you installed something that was in such an archive, then you must look at the INSTALL README file within it to see how to uninstall the package -- you might also want to see the author/vendor's documentation/website | 00:18 |
| DigitallyCrazy | tripps: you checked in System Monitor? | 00:19 |
| ksoviero | um... help? | 00:19 |
| fanatixx | Elijah, you may determinate it on the install process... i dont know if you may change it after that... i think someone else in here could tell you more about it | 00:19 |
| ikonia | openlinux: you can specify other uses in the sudoers file | 00:19 |
| MeRodent | kramer3d, https://help.ubuntu.com/community/WifiDocs/Driver/Ndiswrapper | 00:19 |
| tripps | DigitallyCrazy, ps axuw | grep compiz shows nothing | 00:19 |
| ikonia | openlinux: eg: instead of root ALL:ALL say "jon ALL:ALL" | 00:19 |
| openlinux | thought sudoers file is only for using sudo for root. su is something different? | 00:20 |
| ikonia | openlinux: that will allow you to execute things as jon | 00:20 |
| unop | openlinux, sudo -u otheruser command | 00:20 |
| chouaiiiib | unop the pak is python2.5 i want to use python2.4 | 00:20 |
| ikonia | unop: -u good spot | 00:20 |
| tripps | DigitallyCrazy, I'm pretty sure it's running mesa VGA mode right now. Is there a command? | 00:20 |
| newbyx86 | sudoers file = for giving people access to sudo | 00:20 |
| newbyx86 | :| | 00:20 |
| dr_Willis | sudo is a very flexiable system. You can set up a lot of things with it. :) | 00:20 |
| DigitallyCrazy | tripps: i haven't heard of one... | 00:20 |
| openlinux | sweet! | 00:20 |
| unop | chouaiiiib, so you are saying you installed python from source ? | 00:20 |
| DigitallyCrazy | tripps: but I haven't had to get this deep into stuff | 00:20 |
| DigitallyCrazy | tripps: envyng has worked straight from the box for me multiple times | 00:21 |
| DigitallyCrazy | tripps: the only confusion I've had is when people have conflicts with other drivers | 00:21 |
| chouaiiiib | no i want to remove python2.5 | 00:21 |
| tripps | DigitallyCrazy, I've found managing graphics drivers/resolutions on ubuntu a royal pain in the ass. it takes many iterations to get anything to "stick" I've found | 00:21 |
| DigitallyCrazy | tripps: or forgot to remove an old one when upgrading | 00:21 |
| Brandano | As I said, I am still getting used to it. It's not like you are really meant to run everything from the command line anyway | 00:21 |
| unop | chouaiiiib, but how did you install python2.5 ?? | 00:21 |
| chouaiiiib | yes | 00:21 |
| unop | how | 00:21 |
| unop | ? | 00:21 |
| fanatixx | Elijah, i think that if you boot with the liveCD you may change it without any problem, but it's something to averiguate.... | 00:22 |
| Nevermind | does any1 know how to fix this: Fn+F7 and Fn+F8 doesnt work to control the brightness of my laptop screen +applet doesnt work too (laptop - HP G700) | 00:22 |
| crimsun | chouaiiiib: that likely will break some things. Are you sure that modifying the python-minimal package won't accomplish what you want? | 00:22 |
| DigitallyCrazy | tripps: have you looked at your xorg.conf file? | 00:22 |
| unop | chouaiiiib, did you use ./configure; make; make install to install python 2.5? | 00:23 |
| Elijah | fanatixx, so is it already installed on live cd or in the live menu? | 00:23 |
| tripps | DigitallyCrazy, ok so I am using envyng to uninstall again, confirm no restricted drivers are in use, uninstall compiz* then start from scratch? | 00:23 |
| kramer3d | the drivers (.inf) files are windows driver right? | 00:23 |
| OmiKrOn | hi | 00:23 |
| crimsun | chouaiiiib: (python-minimal is generated from the python-defaults source package) | 00:23 |
| OmiKrOn | any good IRC software for Ubuntu? I`m on chatzilla right now | 00:23 |
| chouaiiiib | I have already install 2.5 and I want to uninstall him | 00:23 |
| DigitallyCrazy | tripps: that's what that forum said | 00:23 |
| MeRodent | kramer3d, should be. | 00:23 |
| unop | crimsun, hold on, he mentioned something about using a .tgz file | 00:23 |
| DigitallyCrazy | tripps: I tried this once and ended up getting pissed and reformatting | 00:23 |
| Brandano | I think you can have several versions of python running at the same time, with a few tweaks. If you have a single application that requires a lower version you might as well run it on its own python | 00:23 |
| crimsun | unop: ok | 00:23 |
| DigitallyCrazy | tripps: but I had that option because it was a new install | 00:24 |
| === realityiswhere is now known as realityiswhere|a | ||

| loquitus_of_borg | I booted Ubuntu on my laptop today and it was locking up on bootup. So I did a bootup in recovery mode and was forced to do an fsck. It came up with some error and I noticed mention of some stuff possibly pertaining to mouse and a bunch of other stuff. Eventually I was able to boot into Ubuntu normally. But now, in XWindows at the login screen the mouse and keyboard do not respond. I can indeed do a ctrl-alt-f3 or whatever to ge | 00:37 |
| unop | OmiKoRn, dpkg -L util-linux | grep -i arch | 00:37 |
| tc0111 | i can _only_ run my old kernel (2.6.24-16), anything after -16 will not boot as it does not accept my crypto passphrase for the encrypted LVM that contains an LVM for /, /home & swap. any ideas on how to fix the initrd.img so that it detects and creates a proper image file that will allow booting? | 00:37 |
| tripps | DigitallyCrazy, yeah I did read that a little while back and was going to try it before people told me about envyng | 00:37 |
| DigitallyCrazy | ahhh | 00:38 |
| unop | OmiKoRn, if you have the arch utility -- this should tell you the package name. dpkg -S $(which arch) | 00:38 |
| DigitallyCrazy | tripps: ahhh | 00:38 |
| ksoviero | rand0m, that problem is fixed in the svn version of cheese, the one im trying to install | 00:38 |
| OmiKoRn | unop: i don't have it! what part of what package contains it is so hard to understand? | 00:38 |
| DigitallyCrazy | tripps: so I have nvidia, and maybe this will help... | 00:38 |
| ikonia | ksoviero: best thing to do is log a bug against cheese so the ubuntu packages will pick it up and repackge/update it for you | 00:38 |
| rand0m | ksoviero, any luck so far ? | 00:38 |
| tripps | DigitallyCrazy, I don't see why the xorg.conf file isn't "taking" though | 00:38 |
| DigitallyCrazy | tripps: type in ati and hit tab a couple times to see what ubuntu pulls up | 00:39 |

| akuma5 | i tryed sda1 instead of mount and it still didnt work | 00:59 |
| unop | akuma5, well, ok - you have to have some experience understanding this error - it means that the directory /mount does not exist -- try using /media instead | 00:59 |
| legend2440 | jerome_: try ./fretsonfire or whatever the name is or sudo ./fretsonfire | 00:59 |
| akuma5 | oh | 01:00 |
| unop | akuma5, sudo mkdir -v /media/my_share | 01:00 |
| bloodrock | akuma5, or try /mnt/my-share | 01:00 |
| RenatoSilva | fusion-icon! | 01:00 |
| jerome_ | When I double click it tells me that it is an executable text file and I have to click run | 01:00 |
| akuma5 | it worked with media thanx | 01:01 |
| unop | akuma5, you could create /mount first and then create /mount/my_share -- but we already have a directory to house things like this -- so why not use it | 01:01 |
| BruceD | jerome, right click on the file through nautilus, and tell what it wants to open the file with(on top) | 01:01 |
| jerome_ | legend2440: That doesnt do anything | 01:01 |
| jerome_ | BruceD, If I look at associations, it has open office, text editor and wine and wine is selected | 01:02 |
| MrLinux | I made a nice wallpaper for Ubuntu, who love it can download it from: http://www.best-tech.org/ubuntu.png | 01:03 |
| jerome_ | It is a "shell script" | 01:03 |
| BruceD | jerome, is it a windows app | 01:03 |
| tottto-drummond | nice job MrLinux | 01:04 |
| jerome_ | BruceD, it sure shouldn't be | 01:04 |
| MrLinux | thanks | 01:04 |
| renoboy | i need an image burner! | 01:04 |
| renoboy | what software is good to burn iso image? | 01:04 |
| BruceD | jerome, go to terminal, cd to the directory, type: sudo wine filename | 01:04 |
| unop | jerome_, a shell script written in which language? | 01:05 |
| akuma5 | <unop> sudo mount -t cifs //192.168.1.102/share_name /media/my_share -o username=theuser,password=thepass,iocharset=utf8,file_mode=0777,dir_mode=0777 | 01:05 |
| renoboy | need a good software to burn iso image of ubuntu to cd | 01:05 |
| jerome_ | It said creating wine directory, html disable, config updated | 01:05 |
| akuma5 | how do i use this command | 01:05 |
| jerome_ | unop Im not sure | 01:06 |
| unop | akuma5, again, at a terminal | 01:06 |
| jerome_ | It has no extension. I just double click it and it launches | 01:06 |
| akuma5 | i know i mean conf it | 01:06 |
| unop | akuma5, make sure you substitute the right values there -- only you know what they are unfortunately :) | 01:06 |
| unop | akuma5, they should be quite self-explanatory | 01:06 |
| bloodrock | renoboy, what os you useing to burn | 01:07 |
| akuma5 | sudo mount -t cifs //192.168.1.102/akuma55/media/akuma55 -o username=akuma55,password=xxxxxxx,iocharset=utf8,file_mode=0777,dir_mode=0777 | 01:07 |

| MachinTrucChose | which command tells me which kernel version I'm running? | 01:07 |
| MachinTrucChose | GNU/Linux kernel | 01:07 |
| bloodrock | renoboy, try isorecorder | 01:07 |
| renoboy | bloodrock>>> windows | 01:07 |
| unop | MachinTrucChose, uname -a | 01:07 |
| renoboy | ok ty | 01:07 |
| MachinTrucChose | thanks | 01:07 |
| unop | MachinTrucChose, or uname -sr to be more specific | 01:08 |
| jerome_ | well I suppose Ill just launch it via nautilus for now. thanks for trying | 01:08 |
| kramer3d | YES | 01:08 |
| unop | jerome_, xdg-open /path/to/filename # to open it from the terminal | 01:09 |
| MachinTrucChose | unop: I'm still running 2.6.24-17 even though I see the files for 2.6.24-19 in the /boot directory. How can I make GRUB load the latest kernel? I tried just editing menu.lst and replacing -17 with -19 but that didn't work | 01:09 |
| bloodrock | jero | 01:09 |
| Dan_ | live liquid funk drum & bass on air now @ www.electro-flashback.com hit the tune in button to launch the player | 01:09 |
| bloodrock | jerome_, where did you dl the old fretsonfire from | 01:09 |
| jerome_ | no idea | 01:09 |
| jerome_ | sourceforge actualy | 01:10 |
| jerome_ | Must go though, thanks again | 01:10 |
| === saki_ is now known as saki | ||
| unop | MachinTrucChose, that doesn't necessarily mean the 24-19 kernel is installed. use this command to find out. dpkg -l | grep -i linux-image # you should see all the kernels installed listed here | 01:10 |
| BruceD | jerome, make a new launcher, and choose location instead of application as the type | 01:10 |
| MachinTrucChose | unop: I see "linux-image-2.6.24-19-generic" | 01:11 |
| rafael | aries41857@hotmail.com | 01:11 |
| unop | MachinTrucChose, ok, run this command and give us the url it returns. which pastebinit || sudo aptitude install pastebinit; pastebinit < /boot/grub/menu.lst | 01:12 |
| Xerxes | Hello, I'm trying to get rid of netmeeting, but when I delete the files they just pop right back up, it's like they are viral | 01:13 |
| unop | Xerxes, and how did you "delete" the files? | 01:13 |
| genii | Isnt "netmeeting" a Windows application? | 01:13 |
| Xerxes | moved them to the trash | 01:13 |
| unop | genii, he could have meant gnomemeeting | 01:13 |
| unop | or gnomeeting perhaps | 01:14 |
| Xerxes | it's netmeeting, winblows app | 01:14 |
| MachinTrucChose | unop: no URL given. just a whole bunch of things it wants to uninstall. (175mb worth of stuff really). It also wants to install pastebinit | 01:14 |
| MachinTrucChose | I'll pastebin it | 01:14 |
| unop | Xerxes, and which files did you move to trash ? | 01:14 |
| unop | MachinTrucChose, ok, while you are at that .. | 01:14 |
| Xerxes | ALl of them | 01:14 |
| Nevermind | omg... didnt find any sites with a fix on my problem. any1 could gove me a hand? (laptop brightness issue - cand control it anyhow. laptop - HP G7000) | 01:14 |
| unop | paste the contents of this command too. cat /boot/grub/menu.lst | 01:14 |
| Xerxes | but they pop back up so fast I can't delete fast enough | 01:14 |
| unop | Xerxes, try and understand that we don't have a picture/understanding of your desktop / setup / directory structure -- now, which files (at which locations) did you delete? | 01:15 |
| MachinTrucChose | unop: http://pastebin.com/d115fbfc | 01:16 |
| Xerxes | C:\program files\netmetting | 01:16 |
| Xerxes | It has about 20 files, dlls, two exes | 01:16 |
| Xerxes | I drag them to the trash... | 01:16 |
| Xerxes | they go in the trash | 01:16 |
| Xerxes | they reappear in the folder and are still in the trash | 01:16 |
| Xerxes | I empty the trash before it repops, and it still repops back into the folder. | 01:16 |
| Fryguy-- | Xerxes: where are these files located? | 01:16 |
| Xerxes | C:\Program Files\NetMeeting\ | 01:17 |
| Fryguy-- | Xerxes: on the local ubuntu install? or a separate windows install | 01:17 |
| Xerxes | windows xp | 01:17 |
| Fryguy-- | Xerxes: when you drag them to trash, drag with right mouse button | 01:17 |
| Fryguy-- | and select "move" instead of copy | 01:17 |
| Xerxes | I didn't copy? | 01:17 |
| Fryguy-- | Xerxes: if you drag and drop between 2 separate resources, ubuntu (and windows) defaults to copy, not move | 01:18 |
| Xerxes | doesn't work either btw | 01:18 |
| bozrob | i just installed moblock and now it blocks any/all http traffic coming to my computer, and inorder to fix it everytime i reboot I have to input my dns servers, is there a way to fix this? | 01:18 |
| Xerxes | it's just windows, no ubuntu | 01:18 |
| Xerxes | just windows | 01:18 |
| unop | MachinTrucChose, run this command. sudo aptitude reinstall linux-image-2.6.24-19-generic | 01:18 |
| Fryguy-- | Xerxes: so why are you her | 01:18 |
| Fryguy-- | here | 01:18 |
| tech0007 | Xerxes: this is an ubuntu support channel | 01:18 |
| pharo | greetings, when I frist inserted the Ubuntu-Stuido CD I got a popup asking me if I want to install the metapackage etc... | 01:18 |
| pharo | I closed that popup because I wanted to do something else before... now that window does not pop up anymore ?! | 01:18 |
| unop | Xerxes, please head to ##windows | 01:18 |
| Xerxes | k | 01:18 |
| Fryguy-- | lolol | 01:18 |
| pharo | why, and what can I do in this situation ? | 01:18 |
| unop | some people... | 01:19 |
| Infinito- | jesus christ | 01:19 |
| Infinito- | lol | 01:19 |
| Fryguy-- | that's one of the funnier ones i've seen in the past 40 hours i've been in here over the past few days | 01:19 |
| Blackthorn | Anyone know how would I get to bash that's not running inside xwindows? | 01:19 |
| Fryguy-- | Blackthorn: ctrl-alt-f1 | 01:19 |
| crimsun | Blackthorn: as | 01:20 |
| crimsun | err, sorry. | 01:20 |
| unop | Blackthorn, it's called the console :) | 01:20 |
| MachinTrucChose | unop: it's once again saying it will remove 175mb of stuff, including unrelated stuff like mplayer, docbook-xml, and synaptic. Should I proceed? | 01:20 |
| renoboy | need link for loading ubuntu on ps3 | 01:20 |
| MachinTrucChose | same message as in pastebin | 01:20 |
| Infinito- | Blackthorn, and then ctrl+alt+f7 for comming back | 01:20 |
| unop | MachinTrucChose, ohh, errm, not really sure -- can you pastebin ? | 01:20 |
| Blackthorn | unop: I need to install my nvidia drivers; doesn't want it running. | 01:20 |
| Fryguy-- | renoboy: googling for "ubuntu ps3" yields this as the first result, check it out: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/PlayStation_3 | 01:21 |
| unop | Blackthorn, right, do it at the "console" then :) | 01:21 |
| andy_ | are there any precautions i should take before reinstalling my atheros restricted network driver? | 01:21 |
| Fryguy-- | renoboy: here is the 4th result http://psubuntu.com/ | 01:21 |
| andy_ | recompiling | 01:21 |
| pharo | greetings, when I frist inserted the Ubuntu-Stuido CD I got a popup asking me if I want to install the metapackage etc... I closed that popup because I wanted to do something else before... now that window does not pop up anymore ?! | 01:21 |
| MachinTrucChose | unop: same as previous pastebin. CTRL+F for "mplayer" | 01:21 |
| jc__ | I am trying to remove a package from the update manager without removing it from my computer, I tried echo "package_name hold" | dpkg --set-selections but its still listed, is it possible to do what I want to do? | 01:21 |
| Blackthorn | kk; lets try. | 01:21 |
| unop | MachinTrucChose, it might look the same, but let's not take that chance shall we ? :) | 01:21 |
| Fryguy-- | jc__: i don't have an answer, but out of curiosity, why do you not want ubuntu to update the package | 01:22 |
| Blackthorn | Yup; that doesn't work. | 01:22 |
| MachinTrucChose | unop: http://www.nomorepasting.com/getpaste.php?pasteid=17673 | 01:22 |
| qkacz | hey | 01:22 |
| Blackthorn | "You appear to be running x-windows" | 01:22 |
| Blackthorn | And it won't let me install it; | 01:23 |
| Fryguy-- | Blackthorn: you asked for a bash shell outside of x, not how to kill xwindows.. sudo /etc/init.d/?dm stop | 01:23 |
| jc__ | Fryguy--: because the new package is buggie on my system, already tried it and had to downgrade back to the previous version | 01:23 |
| Fryguy-- | then ctrl-alt-backspace | 01:23 |
| Fryguy-- | jc__: what package | 01:23 |
| unop | jc__, sudo aptitude hold package_name # this should work | 01:23 |
| Blackthorn | Sorry; wasn't sure how to phrase it... | 01:23 |
| rand0m | aside from compiz, is there another way to get a 3d cube desktop ? | 01:23 |
| BruceD | jerome, still there | 01:23 |
| Fryguy-- | rand0m: no | 01:23 |
| jc__ | screenlets version 0.12 is buggie for me, I want to keep 0.11 for the time being | 01:23 |
| prada | I do not have sound on my computer. Can someone help me figure this out | 01:23 |
| MachinTrucChose | unop, FYI, I'm a Kubuntu user (couldn't get an answer in #kubuntu, and figured it was a general grub question that applies to both). So even though synaptic is on the chop list, i use adept mainly. | 01:23 |
| Fryguy-- | rand0m: kde's kwin might have it in it's new compositing options, but i doubt it | 01:24 |
| Ademan | hey is there any hope for getting a tiny embedded computer with wifi and pretty robust sound output abilities? (maybe not surround sound... but the ability to control a decent set of speakers) I was thinking a wireless music client like that would be pretty awesome | 01:24 |
| Elijah | anyone know what a FRAGLIST.LUAR, it is on my ntfs drive | 01:24 |
| offline | hi what is the differences between wine-door and wine HQ ? | 01:24 |
| Fryguy-- | Ademan: squezebox | 01:24 |
| rand0m | i read something that mentioned something called "beryl" and/or "skybox" but couldn't find anything in specific searches | 01:24 |
| rand0m | its all good though, thanks again | 01:24 |
| Fryguy-- | rand0m: beryl is deprecated and has been rolled into compiz | 01:24 |
| unop | MachinTrucChose, ok, i tell you what -- let is remove these packages for now, install the new kernel, then boot off of it and come back and reinstall these packages | 01:24 |
| bozrob | does anyone know anything when it comes to moblock? | 01:25 |
| rand0m | oh ok | 01:25 |
| unop | MachinTrucChose, let it* | 01:25 |
| rand0m | i guess waht i was reading was outdated | 01:25 |
| Fryguy-- | Elijah: ##windows | 01:25 |
| pharo | when I frist inserted the Ubuntu-Stuido CD I got a popup asking me if I want to install the metapackage etc... I closed that popup because I wanted to do something else before... now that window does not pop up anymore ?! | 01:25 |
| qkacz | pls help me: how can I use WIFI with another wm (for ex. with dwm?). when I start with gnome, it handles it automatically finds the availabe networks, and autoconnects is its possible, but I dunno how to do it under dwm. | 01:25 |
| jc__ | unop: once I hold a package, should the "update manager" stop showing them? | 01:25 |
| Fryguy-- | qkacz: use iwconfig | 01:25 |
| rand0m | Fryguy--, since you're here.. i asked earlier & no one could help but would you by any chance know of a webcam program to capture video other than cheese? it keeps freezing when i try to capture video | 01:26 |
| Fryguy-- | rand0m: no | 01:26 |
| Ademan | Fryguy--: thanks alot, that's exactly what i was looking for, specifically though i'd like to get something software-less so that i could cook up my own solution | 01:26 |
| unop | jc__, that's the idea -- but it _could_ get upgraded (and thus unheld) if someother packages requires a newer version installed as a result of a dependency | 01:26 |
| MachinTrucChose | unop: it removed -17 which is the kernel I use. Will editing menu.lst and replacing -17 with -19 (now that it's reinstalled) allow me to boot the OS? | 01:26 |
| qkacz | Fryguy--: thx | 01:26 |
| Fryguy-- | Ademan: i'd really just recommend using squeezebox. it's pretty much a perfect execution of a wireless streaming music player | 01:26 |
| unop | MachinTrucChose, you shouldn't ever need to edit the menu.lst file -- it should all be done automatically i.e. via the command i just gave you | 01:27 |
| Fryguy-- | Ademan: also check out www.popcornhour.com if you need surround and media playback besides music | 01:27 |
| Fryguy-- | Ademan: not as good for music in my opinion, but extra functionality is nice (I own both, 1 for music, 1 for movies) | 01:27 |
| Ademan | awesome Fryguy-- thanks for the links | 01:27 |
| jc__ | unop: hmm ok, does it take a while for that to happen, because the update manager is still showing it as needing updating (I ran the command you told me) | 01:27 |
| MachinTrucChose | unop: you're right, it prompted me for that. I was just planning ahead in case it rebooted my computer. :) I told it "use the package maintainer's version". | 01:27 |
| unop | MachinTrucChose, and it's always a good idea to have the older kernels installed -- just incase you run into serious problems with a new one | 01:27 |
| Fryguy-- | jc__: run sudo apt-get update manually | 01:28 |
| unop | MachinTrucChose, so i suggest you install 24-17 now, before rebooting | 01:28 |
| prada | anyone | 01:28 |
| onthefence928 | hey i'm running steam under wine, but when i go to play CS and the MotD and help text aren't showing up, anyone have asimilar problem and know how to fix it? | 01:28 |
| MachinTrucChose | unop: ok, menu.lst now has all the kernels listed, from 16 to 19 | 01:28 |
| Fryguy-- | speaking of old kernels... i need to get around to compiling a new kernel from scratch :( | 01:28 |
| prada | and anyone help | 01:28 |
| pharo | when I frist inserted the Ubuntu-Stuido CD I got a popup asking me if I want to install the metapackage etc... I closed that popup because I wanted to do something else before... now that window does not pop up anymore ?! | 01:28 |
| Fryguy-- | !ask | prada | 01:28 |
| ubottu | prada: Please don't ask to ask a question, ask the question (all on ONE line, so others can read and follow it easily). If anyone knows the answer they will most likely answer. :-) | 01:28 |
| prada | i did | 01:28 |
| unop | MachinTrucChose, ok, keep them for now -- you can remove 16 later -- but keep 17 and 19 | 01:28 |
| jc__ | Fryguy--: done, and its still being shown on the list | 01:29 |
| prada | i dont have sound on my computer | 01:29 |
| MachinTrucChose | unop: got it. Reboot time? | 01:29 |
| Fryguy-- | prada: all you said was "i do not have sound on my computer" you need to give us an error message or something descriptive before we can help you | 01:29 |
| dayvid | good night | 01:29 |
| dayvid | :d | 01:29 |
| unop | MachinTrucChose, reboot now (into 2.6.24-19) and reinstall those packages that were removed | 01:29 |
| dayvid | ? | 01:29 |
| unop | MachinTrucChose, aye | 01:29 |
| danc3 | prada: turn up the volume | 01:29 |
| MachinTrucChose | unop: thanks. See you later, hopefully. | 01:29 |
| prada | apparently my driver is not installed right | 01:29 |
| gads_31 | Hi all, when I plug in a sd-card into my gateway laptop it doesn't mount. when I run "pccardctl status" it is listed. I got this running under Gutsy, but haven't been able to get it working under Hardy. | 01:29 |
| bloodrock | phaero, did you try rebooting/ | 01:30 |
| Fryguy-- | prada: what driver | 01:30 |
| prada | sound card? | 01:30 |
| Fryguy-- | prada: driver | 01:30 |
| danc3 | prada: then install it "right" | 01:30 |
| prada | i would think ? | 01:30 |
| prada | its obvious you guys do not have a clue | 01:31 |
| danc3 | lol | 01:31 |
| gads_31 | nope its like a mmc card for camaras. | 01:31 |
| Fryguy-- | prada: i have plenty of clues, i'm asking you questions, please answer them | 01:31 |
| danc3 | prada: would you like your money back? | 01:31 |
| tech0007 | lol | 01:31 |
| onthefence928 | danc3: well played | 01:31 |
| MachinTruc | unop: I'm back....on my Windows laptop. I get "error 17: unable to mount selected partition". It's like this for all kernel options, as well as memorytest | 01:32 |
| prada | how can i answer when i don't even know, myself.........danc3 i bet you are a real fat dork..now stop interrupting | 01:32 |
| Fryguy-- | prada: what card then | 01:33 |
| prada | uhmm | 01:33 |
| danc3 | prada: who's clueless, again? | 01:33 |
| pharo | when I frist inserted the Ubuntu-Stuido CD I got a popup asking me if I want to install the metapackage etc... I closed that popup because I wanted to do something else before... now that window does not pop up anymore ?! | 01:33 |
| prada | let me look | 01:33 |
| prada | shutup fatty | 01:33 |
| Fryguy-- | danc3: you. Either activately participate in helping or stop berating people | 01:33 |
| gads_31 | If I run from the windows partition then the sd-card reader works. any ideas? | 01:33 |
| danc3 | lol | 01:33 |
| bloodrock | pharo, did you try rebooting cd | 01:34 |
| jc__ | Fryguy--: unop: OK I just found that there is a lock version in synaptec that does what I want it to do | 01:34 |
| prada | I have a PCI sound blaster Xtreme Fidelity | 01:35 |
| pharo | bloodrock: I tryed remounting cd... relogging and rebooting... | 01:35 |
| anteaya | i just found these installation instructions for downloading cinelerra: http://cvs.cinelerra.org/getting_cinelerra.php#hardy it specifies x86, how do i find out if this will work with my hardware (not keen on downloading stuff that might not work with my hardware) | 01:35 |
| Blackthorn | Fryguy--: I got an error saying I'm missing a dev package but it's not showing in ubuntu's package manager, how would I go about finding it? | 01:35 |
| Blackthorn | libc development package. | 01:35 |
| Fryguy-- | prada: open up a terminal and type "aplay /dev/random" | 01:35 |
| pharo | bloodrock: I have no idea anymore what to try else ! | 01:35 |
| Fryguy-- | prada: what happens | 01:35 |
| Aquahallic_ | Evenin' all | 01:35 |
| Fryguy-- | Blackthorn: which one | 01:35 |
| Fryguy-- | Blackthorn: use apt-cache search to find packages | 01:36 |
| Aquahallic_ | anyone messed with getting TV out to work on ATI? | 01:36 |
| unsungx | me | 01:36 |
| Blackthorn | k | 01:36 |
| danc3 | prada: it's likely just muted... open 'alsamixer' in a terminal and unmute things. | 01:36 |
| pharo | bloodrock: i beg you help me find a trace... why it does not pop up anymore | 01:36 |
| unop | MachinTruc, was that the machine you installed the new kernel on? | 01:36 |
| prada | and actually a sound card on my motherboard....ok fryguy..i'm doing that now | 01:36 |
| Fryguy-- | danc3: actually it's likely the sound card doesn't work at all, xfi's have some known problems in ubuntu | 01:36 |
| phish | How can i run a program in wine under sudo? | 01:37 |
| Fryguy-- | prada: you have 2 sound cards? | 01:37 |
| Fryguy-- | phish: 'sudo wine programname' | 01:37 |
| MachinTruc | unop: no, that's the desktop. it's not booting anymre, so I'm usign a 2nd computer to talk to you | 01:37 |
| danc3 | the blind leading the blind..... | 01:37 |
| bloodrock | pharo, was it part of the install or what | 01:37 |
| MachinTruc | unop: I think my 2 hard drives confused grub. I'm googling a solution. | 01:37 |
| rand0m | as much as this is the main ubuntu room, and Gnome is the default window manager for it - can you guys at all support using other window managers ? | 01:37 |
| unop | MachinTruc, error 17 means grub finds the intended boot partition but does not understand the file system -- which means grub is possibly looking at your windows partition there | 01:37 |
| phish | Fryguy--: Tells me that sudo doesn't own the file which is really weird :/ | 01:37 |
| Fryguy-- | rand0m: i've used a few dozen window managers in my past | 01:37 |
| Fryguy-- | phish: dunno then, sorry. i don't use sudo | 01:38 |
| MrLinux | how I see someone on my sistem ? i wan a see my friend on watch i got the info | 01:38 |
| unop | MachinTruc, i suggest you use a live CD or something to boot up and repair grub -- have a look at the grub wiki for a howto .. | 01:38 |
| unop | !grub | MachinTruc | 01:38 |
| ubottu | MachinTruc: 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 | 01:38 |
| Fryguy-- | god, somebody just spammed my pm with a paste | 01:38 |
| MrLinux | i m having issues with watch, upon typing watch ttypts/1 doesnt work | 01:38 |
| Fryguy-- | !pastebin | prada | 01:38 |

| DarkAudit | from a fresh Ubuntu install and update, Amarok cannot autodetect my ipod. dcop kded mediamanager fullList results in call failed. I don't have all of KDE installed yet. Am I missing a package? | 01:38 |
| anteaya | this line is in the instructions to add a repository to my sources list: "for all x86 (full working on 32 and 64 bits)" does this mean that it will work for all systems? | 01:38 |
| MachinTruc | unop: last time I did that, Grub ended up istalling itself on the Windows HDD. I sort of want the two HDDs separate: one for Windows, one for Linux. To make sure I run into no problems if I remove one. | 01:39 |
| pharo | bloodrock: i have ubuntu hardy... and now want to change it to ubuntu-stuido... when I first inserted the cd I got a popup asking me if I want to do the desired task... but I wanted to do something else before... and now when i remount the cd... there is no popup anymore :( | 01:39 |
| Exidor | is anyone a router guru? I'm a tech with 13 years experience and I cannot get into my new router IP wise. | 01:39 |
| Fryguy-- | Exidor: #networking | 01:39 |
| unsungx | anyone care to deliver some insight into using custom icon packages? | 01:39 |
| MachinTruc | unop: but thanks for your help. I'm sure there's some Grub command trickery I can do t make it go to the other hdd | 01:39 |
| andy_ | is there a way i can download the atheros drivers source from apt-get? | 01:39 |
| unop | MachinTruc, is the windows HDD the first one (physically) ?? | 01:39 |
| Exidor | thanks Fryguy... just out of curiosity, do you work for Fry's? | 01:40 |
| unsungx | andy: negative | 01:40 |
| Fryguy-- | Exidor: no | 01:40 |
| andy_ | unsungx, what is madwifi-ng? | 01:40 |
| unsungx | im on a wired right now, my wireles is atheros | 01:40 |
| * [gnubie] waves | 01:40 | |
| MachinTruc | unop: no. | 01:40 |
| unsungx | i have no idea | 01:40 |
| rand0m | Fryguy--, i just want my desktop to look good, run smoothly (no need for super 3d effects & what not), and look nothing like windows.. | 01:40 |
| mgrant | MrLinux: could try something like http://www.cyberciti.biz/faq/linux-make-typescript-of-terminal-session/ but if you want to snoop them unawares, that's harder (and probably rude ;) ) | 01:40 |
| rand0m | what would you recommend ? | 01:40 |
| andy_ | unsungx, well i am trying to setup vmware, i am getting an error about a network header. and it said to recompile madwifi-ng, i guess i'm not using that | 01:40 |
| unop | MachinTruc, by default both grub and the windows bootloader install themselves to the MBR on the first available bootable harddrive -- which is really recommended | 01:40 |
| prada | I spammed you fryguy ? nope sorry i dont spam | 01:40 |
| bloodrock | pharo, ok so you loaded cd while in hardy is that right | 01:41 |
| unsungx | what kind of rig are you on? | 01:41 |
| prada | http://paste.ubuntu.com/25302/plain/ | 01:41 |
| Fryguy-- | rand0m: that's pretty vague :) try out dwm, awesomewm, openbox, fluxbox, or any of another few dozen window managers | 01:41 |
| unop | MachinTruc, so ubuntu is on the first physical harddrive? | 01:41 |
| pharo | bloodrock: yes, that is correct | 01:41 |
| prada | and yes i have two sound cards | 01:41 |
| spanther | hello there :) i wanted to ask if the ubuntu 64bit DVD 8.04.1 is LTS as the downloadable 8.04 CD is too ? | 01:41 |
| andy_ | unsungx, 64-bit Hardy, AR5212/AR5213 D-Link PCI wireless | 01:41 |
| MachinTruc | unop: I wanted the two drives to be "independent". So before installing Windows, I unplugged the Ubuntu HDD, then plugged it back after the install, and used Grub commands to boot Windows. | 01:41 |
| Fryguy-- | rand0m: or wmii, or enlightenment, or fvwm, or... whatever | 01:41 |
| MrLinux | can you give me a answer ? | 01:41 |
| [gnubie] | i don't know why i can't make my bcm4318 wlan chipset work on my hardy laptop using ndiswrapper. other distributions, it works flawlessly. any idea if there's a problem or something with ndiswrapper on hardy? | 01:42 |
| MrLinux | i need it real quick | 01:42 |
| mgrant | MrLinux: could try something like http://www.cyberciti.biz/faq/linux-make-typescript-of-terminal-session/ but if you want to snoop them unawares, that's harder (and probably rude ;) ) | 01:42 |
| Fryguy-- | rand0m: check out screenshot threads for distros that don't use gnome by default (gentoo and archlinux for example), for some inspriation | 01:42 |
| bloodrock | pharo, k hold on i'll try that | 01:42 |
| MachinTruc | unop: yeah, Ubuntu is on the first HDD. Windows isn't, because it would not boot until I used the "map hd0 hd1, map hd1 hd0" commands to trick it into thinking it was the first hdd | 01:42 |
| unsungx | andy_: is that an Acer type laptop? | 01:42 |
| Fryguy-- | [gnubie]: lots of people use ndiswrapper on hardy with no problems | 01:42 |
| andy_ | unsungx, this is a Gigabyte ep35-ds3r PC | 01:42 |
| unsungx | hmm | 01:42 |
| andy_ | (that is the motherboard, at least) | 01:42 |
| [gnubie] | hhmmmm.. | 01:42 |
| pharo | bloodrock: it worked once... but it does not anymore ... and I have no clue why... I tried to search for a file where it saved .. that I already opened it once... and searched google ... but did not find anything | 01:43 |
| andy_ | unsungx, have you tried vmware or virtualbox with the atheros card you have, and any luck? | 01:43 |
| rand0m | Fryguy--, , nice.. thanks... but once i install another wm, am i able to simply revert back to how i have it right now? or can i even have it so i get to choose which one i use before i boot in? | 01:43 |

| spanther | is the ubuntu 8.04.1 DVD LTS too just as the 8.04 CD is ? | 01:43 |
| pharo | bloodrock: thanks for trying to help me... really appreciate that :)) | 01:43 |
| bloodrock | pharo, did you try rebooting hardy | 01:43 |
| Fryguy-- | rand0m: gdm has a session manager built in, you can specify different profiles to log into | 01:43 |
| unsungx | andy_: I can't even get ubunto to recognize my wireless card | 01:43 |
| pharo | bloodrock: yes I did | 01:43 |
| unsungx | ubuntu)) | 01:44 |
| andy_ | unsungx, oh whcih one do you have? | 01:44 |
| unsungx | hardy | 01:44 |
| unop | MachinTruc, well, slightly complex setup -- i'm gonna ignore the details and say this -- you need to get grub to boot from the right partition which it isn't doing at the moment .. you can do this from a live CD and play around with your grub trick to get windows booted | 01:44 |
| andy_ | unsungx, lspci |grep -i wireless | 01:44 |
| andy_ | sorry grep -i ethernet | 01:44 |
| Exidor | #networking | 01:44 |
| unop | MachinTruc, .. after installing grub i.e. | 01:44 |
| andy_ | is the madwifi-ng source in ubuntu anywhere? | 01:44 |
| bloodrock | pharo, ok one more thing there is a package in the repos to set hardy to ubuntu studio controls | 01:44 |
| Fryguy-- | andy_: apt-cache search madwifi-ng ?? | 01:45 |
| MachinTruc | unpo: I'm at least getting to Grub, so I think with the right commands (and menu.lst modifs) I should be able to get it working. Thanks for your help. | 01:45 |
| bloodrock | pharo, have you tryed that package | 01:45 |
| andy_ | Fryguy--, surprisingly not seeing it, but they have a source site and everything?? | 01:45 |
| andy_ | maybe i want to use ath5k i have no idea | 01:45 |
| Fryguy-- | andy_: apt-src and apt-get have mechansims for getting source code of packages in the repositories | 01:45 |
| pharo | bloodrock: that package is only one step of the things I want... | 01:45 |
| Fryguy-- | brb bathroom | 01:46 |
| pharo | bloodrock: I need to find a way to get that popup again... it also installes more than only the metapackages... | 01:46 |
| bloodrock | pharo, ok i just put my ubuntu studio cd in and i got a window saying upgrade volume detected | 01:47 |
| pharo | bloodrock: yes... thats what I am talking about | 01:47 |
| pharo | bloodrock: close it and remount ... in my case it did not come up again | 01:47 |
| === bazhang_ is now known as bazhang | ||
| bloodrock | pharo, ok did you try opening nautilus and veiw the contents of cd | 01:48 |
| pharo | bloodrock: not even after relogg or reboot | 01:48 |
| pharo | bloodrock: yes that works... and I tried to start many of the files there in the hope to start the popup that way... | 01:49 |
| pharo | bloodrock: but had no luck | 01:49 |
| andy_ | Fryguy--, is ath_pci a separate driver from madwifi-ng? | 01:49 |
| Fryguy-- | andy_: no idea | 01:50 |
| bloodrock | pharo, what did you click on to close it | 01:50 |
| Shakti_418 | anyone with any experience making usplash themes? I've got everything working but the colors. Despite getting the color indexes via GIMP libusplash-dev seems to have it's own ideas about colors... what I'd really like to be able to do is to turn off any colors for the progess bar so my graphic is the only thing there.. anyone know how to do this? | 01:51 |
| cgibin | this tty watch giving me an error i m following this guide | 01:51 |
| cgibin | anyone knows watch ttypts/1 doesnt work | 01:51 |
| pharo | bloodrock: hm good question... at the question... If I want to integrate the internet in order to also get the updates included when present... on that window I clicked no and closed the following if I remember that right | 01:52 |
| Fryguy-- | pharo: you can edit /etc/apt/sources.list to choose where packages get installed from (and synaptic provides a front end for managing this as well) | 01:52 |
| spanther | Fryguy--: wb :) | 01:52 |
| Fryguy-- | spanther: back? heh i've hardly been gone | 01:53 |
| === Shakti_418 is now known as M_Cheevy | ||
| cgibin | any ideas? | 01:53 |
| Fryguy-- | cgibin: "doesn't work" doesn't mean anything to us | 01:53 |
| pharo | Fryguy--: it only makes it possible to install the packages that are on the disk ...not more | 01:53 |
| bloodrock | pharo, by that you must have started the process cuz so far i see cancel start package manager and run upgrade | 01:53 |
| spanther | Fryguy--: you went to bathroom and came back so i said welcome back :) | 01:53 |
| pharo | Fryguy--: that's not the same | 01:53 |
| Fryguy-- | pharo: i'm pretty sure that's not true | 01:54 |
| Aquahallic_ | anyone been successful with getting ati radeon tv out working? | 01:54 |
| cgibin | Fryguy--, man watch | 01:54 |
| pharo | Fryguy--: ok, then I must be right... in that case... please help me by showing that I am wrong... | 01:54 |
| pharo | Fryguy--: I'm in Synaptic now... what do I have to do | 01:55 |
| Fryguy-- | pharo: edit available repositories | 01:55 |
| Fryguy-- | pharo: it's in one of the menus | 01:55 |
| pharo | Fryguy--: ba adding the cd yes I did that | 01:56 |
| cgibin | its so simple on this freebsd, watch ttyp2 orwhatever how do i watch on this ubuntu? | 01:56 |
| bloodrock | pharo, did you double click on the file cdromupgrade on the ubuntu studio cd | 01:56 |
| Fryguy-- | pharo: so add repositories for the internte | 01:56 |
| pharo | bloodrock: yes I did | 01:56 |
| pharo | Fryguy--: did that | 01:56 |
| Fryguy-- | pharo: so now apt uses internet sources where available. What is the problem? | 01:57 |
| cgibin | i hate this irc i never get an answer in here | 01:57 |
| pharo | Fryguy--: that I still dont have upgraded to ubuntu studio | 01:57 |
| bloodrock | pharo, you must have started the upgrade ad then canceled it hey | 01:57 |
| Fryguy-- | pharo: what are you running now | 01:57 |
| mgolisch | isnt there some shellscript or something on the cd/dvd? | 01:58 |
| bloodrock | mgolisch, yes its called cdromupgrade | 01:58 |
| pharo | Fryguy--: and just chosing the seperate metapackages in synaptic does not install everything that the popup would if I figured that correctly... because the synaptic metapackages dont install things like the rt-kernel... it only recommends it | 01:59 |
| pharo | Fryguy--: Hardy Heron Ubunut | 01:59 |
| DarkAudit | grr... FC9 had too many "oh, by the way..." packages missing that ubuntu just knew to install from the outset | 01:59 |

| andy_ | where does networkmanager store its interface configuration? | 01:59 |
| Fryguy-- | pharo: so you installed "ubuntustudio-desktop"? | 01:59 |
| pharo | bloodrock: yes I guess thats what I did | 01:59 |
| bloodrock | pharo, why not just save all stuff you want to a diff drive and load ubuntu studio over hardy?? | 02:00 |
| andy_ | for people having trouble with vmware and ath_pci, i had to compile the ath5k module from compat-wireless. then sudo make unload and sudo make load. it is fixed | 02:00 |

| pharo | bloodrock: because the standard stuido installation does not have network-manager for example | 02:00 |
| andy_ | i will try | 02:00 |
| Fryguy-- | !ask | MachinTruc | 02:00 |
| ubottu | MachinTruc: 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. :-) | 02:00 |

| unsungx | actually this time i got nothing andy | 02:03 |

| Fryguy-- | minhaaj: what exactly are you trying to do | 02:13 |
| minhaaj | i want all access root has to my /root | 02:13 |
| superlinux | hi all | 02:13 |
| Fryguy-- | !sudo | minhaaj | 02:13 |
| ubottu | minhaaj: sudo is a command to run programs with superuser privileges ("root"). Look at https://help.ubuntu.com/community/RootSudo for more information. For graphical applications see !gksu (Gnome), or !kdesu (KDE) | 02:13 |
| andy_ | unsungx, the only thing i can think of is the wireless antenna is not pointed properly | 02:13 |
| minhaaj | writing etc and var directory | 02:13 |
| minhaaj | there is no way to get superuser priviliges permanently ? | 02:13 |
| Fryguy-- | minhaaj: sudo -i or sudo su | 02:13 |
| pharo | bloodrock: nop... only nautilus window again | 02:13 |
| minhaaj | or atleast own /root directory | 02:13 |
| Maarek7 | question: I have ubuntu server 8.04 running ssh, and I can't get ubuntu desktop to map a drive due to the needed by the server | 02:13 |

| minhaaj | when you shut down terminal its gone | 02:14 |
| unsungx | i may disconnect so sorry if i do | 02:14 |
| Fryguy-- | minhaaj: right | 02:14 |
| minhaaj | what ? | 02:14 |
| bazhang | never log in as root | 02:14 |
| Fryguy-- | minhaaj: you REALLY don't want to be running X as root and doing everything on your system as root | 02:14 |
| RenatoSilva | Fryguy--: preferences | 02:14 |
| minhaaj | why not ? | 02:14 |
| RenatoSilva | Fryguy--: nice | 02:14 |
| pharo | bloodrock: but thank you... you have done so much trying to help me... cant ask any further from you ... I guess I will give up... it's 0 | 02:14 |
| Joelito | anyone? :( | 02:14 |
| minhaaj | i hate using sudo again and again | 02:14 |
| mannytu | !sudo | 02:15 |
| ubottu | sudo is a command to run programs with superuser privileges ("root"). Look at https://help.ubuntu.com/community/RootSudo for more information. For graphical applications see !gksu (Gnome), or !kdesu (KDE) | 02:15 |
| Fryguy-- | minhaaj: because you will break your system | 02:15 |
| saint-takeshi | minhaaj: sudo nautilus / | 02:15 |
| pharo | bloodrock: 03:15 o'clock here | 02:15 |
| RenatoSilva | Fryguy--: do you know ntfs-config? I guess it does such thing | 02:15 |
| saint-takeshi | then set the permissions in nautilus | 02:15 |
| Fryguy-- | RenatoSilva: no | 02:15 |
| minhaaj | well when you have to write it ever 3 minutes you are in trouble saint-takeshi | 02:15 |

| bloodrock | pharo, k sorry 1 more thing thou do you have enuff disk space or an extra disk you can install studio and dual boot with hardy | 02:16 |
| minhaaj | php files | 02:16 |
| minhaaj | in www | 02:16 |
| minhaaj | in /var/www | 02:16 |
| bazhang | use sudo | 02:16 |
| Fryguy-- | minhaaj: so change the ownership of /var/www so that you can write to it (or more specifically, add yourself to the group that /var/www is so you have access to the directory) | 02:16 |
| bruno_ | hi all. how can i manually install sub-java6-plugin into firefox 2 on ubuntu 8.04 | 02:17 |
| pharo | bloodrock: yes I could... but why do that ? | 02:17 |
| tripper001 | are there diffrent kinds of kde? kde and KUbuntu? | 02:17 |
| minhaaj | how do i do that Fryguy-- ? | 02:17 |
| minhaaj | thats what i am looking for | 02:17 |
| Fryguy-- | minhaaj: chgrp or chmod | 02:17 |
| OB1FoShoB | anyone else having probs with pidgin? | 02:17 |
| minhaaj | permanent access as owner | 02:17 |
| minhaaj | chmod /var ? | 02:17 |
| bazhang | tripper001, kde3 and kde4 | 02:17 |
| Fryguy-- | minhaaj: /var/www | 02:17 |
| bloodrock | pharo, can always delete 1 or the other after playing with em | 02:17 |
| minhaaj | how about /var ? would that work ? | 02:17 |
| saint-takeshi | minhaaj: or system > administration > users and groups | 02:17 |
| minhaaj | or chmod /etc ? | 02:18 |
| Fryguy-- | minhaaj: it would work, and you'd break things | 02:18 |
| OB1FoShoB | pidgin starts crashing when i send messages, anyone? | 02:18 |
| tripper001 | does kde4 have a lot of bugs? | 02:18 |
| Fryguy-- | minhaaj: don't chmod /etc, you'l lbreak your system | 02:18 |
| bloodrock | pharo, just a thought | 02:18 |
| tripper001 | i can't get system doc's or anything like that | 02:18 |
| unsung1 | omg how am i in here twice!? | 02:18 |
| bazhang | tripper001, try the live cd | 02:18 |
| minhaaj | how so Fryguy-- ? | 02:18 |
| tripper001 | what live cd? | 02:18 |
| pharo | bloodrock: yes that's true... but I only wanted to use hardy to get studio up and running ^ | 02:18 |
| saint-takeshi | tripper001: not any more than the latest gnome or xfce | 02:18 |
| Fryguy-- | minhaaj: for one thing, you will break sudoers and you won't be able to sudo anymore | 02:18 |
| bazhang | tripper001, #kubuntu-kde4 | 02:18 |
| tripper001 | saint duh? | 02:18 |
| andy_ | unsung1, irc works by a 'heartbeat'. if your old one hasn't had to report a' heartbeat' yet it's still connected | 02:18 |
| kevin_112 | Could someone please tell me how to get xfapplet to display the network manager applet? | 02:18 |
| unsung1 | anyhow, Andy: Wireless is working, thanks a bunch, your magic worked | 02:18 |
| minhaaj | how does that work ? | 02:18 |
| andy_ | unsung1, oh what did you do? | 02:19 |
| Fryguy-- | minhaaj: sudoers requires the /etc/sudoers file to have very specific permissions for security reasons, and totally stops working if it doesn't match | 02:19 |
| unsung1 | reset modem, router and the biggest one | 02:19 |
| unsung1 | connected to the network | 02:19 |
| andy_ | unsung1, ah i see | 02:19 |
| amenado | minhaaj-> have you tried some linux tutorials yet? specially in system administrations? perhaps you should try one if you have not done so | 02:19 |
| unsung1 | lol | 02:19 |
| pharo | bloodrock: thanks again for your great support!!! that really cheers me up and motivates me to continue my quest tomorrow | 02:19 |
| minhaaj | oh ok | 02:19 |
| unsung1 | it was an old pebkac | 02:19 |
| andy_ | unsung1, well i am still having trouble with vmware, it's a PITA compared to virtualbox for wireless i dont know why | 02:19 |
| minhaaj | btw chmod /var/www won't work | 02:19 |
| minhaaj | missing parameter | 02:19 |
| Fryguy-- | minhaaj: it does, you just aren't doing it right | 02:19 |
| bloodrock | pharo, another thing to try is a hard boot which is shuting machine off | 02:20 |
| minhaaj | should it be chmod +x /var/www ? | 02:20 |
| bazhang | just asking for trouble | 02:20 |
| unsung1 | hmmm | 02:20 |
| Fryguy-- | minhaaj: take a look at the manpage for chmod to see how it works | 02:20 |
| minhaaj | have to be sudo for that ? | 02:20 |
| Fryguy-- | minhaaj: no, you don't want to make www executable | 02:20 |
| bloodrock | no prob sorry couldn't get it solved | 02:20 |
| pharo | bloodrock: ok... will to that as well... | 02:20 |
| saint-takeshi | anyone here know how to change the amount of shared video memory on an acer notebook? CMOS tells me i have 8mb of video ram, but the sticker on my laptop claims i can have "upto 252mb" so i'd quite like to go up to 128 or 192 | 02:20 |
| pharo | bloodrock: *do | 02:20 |
| OB1FoShoB | pidgin starts crashing when i send messages, anyone? | 02:20 |
| rand0m | man this is dumb but how do i make it so all my windows are transparent ? | 02:20 |
| pharo | bloodrock: good night | 02:21 |
| Fryguy-- | rand0m: compiz, or xcompmgr | 02:21 |
| amenado | andy_-> i doubt it that you can even access wireless stuff within virtual box | 02:21 |
| bloodrock | phar nite | 02:21 |
| eboyjr | You need a compositor | 02:21 |
| === adante_ is now known as adante | ||
| Fryguy-- | rand0m: and transset | 02:21 |
| minhaaj | -R, --recursive | 02:21 |
| minhaaj | change files and directories recursively | 02:21 |
| minhaaj | do i have to use this ? | 02:21 |
| rand0m | ok on another topic | 02:21 |
| Fryguy-- | minhaaj: yes | 02:22 |
| Fryguy-- | minhaaj: ls -ld /var/www | 02:22 |
| Fryguy-- | minhaaj: what is the group of www | 02:22 |
| FloodBot3 | Fryguy--: Please don't flood, use http://paste.ubuntu.com to paste, don't use Enter as punctuation. | 02:22 |
| minhaaj | what do you mean ? | 02:22 |
| rand0m | in ubuntu (on another machine, beside me), i just installed fluxbox and fluxconf, | 02:22 |
| amenado | saint-takeshi-> up to does not mean you have that much installed, you can install that much if necessary | 02:22 |
| Fryguy-- | minhaaj: type ls -ld /var/www and tell me what group /var/www is | 02:22 |
| rand0m | when i type 'startfluxbox', i get errors saying not to have another window manager running | 02:22 |
| minhaaj | root Fryguy-- | 02:22 |
| Fryguy-- | minhaaj: it's root:root? | 02:22 |
| rand0m | so how do i close gnome while keeping terminal open, and then open fluxbox ? | 02:22 |
| minhaaj | as in owner/group/others ? | 02:23 |
| minhaaj | yes its root/root | 02:23 |
| amenado | rand0m-> perhaps if you do it in a console not in an Xwindow | 02:23 |
| Fryguy-- | rand0m: fluxbox probably has a command line parameter to become the current window manager, --replace maybe | 02:23 |
| rand0m | so startfluxbox --replace ? | 02:23 |
| minhaaj | so now i use chmod -r /var/www ? | 02:24 |
| Fryguy-- | minhaaj: ok, so sudo chgrp -R minhaaj /var/www/, then sudo chmod -R g+rw /var/www/ | 02:24 |
| crdlb | Fryguy--: fluxbox is one of the window managers that doesn't bother with that convention :/ | 02:24 |
| minhaaj | chgrp ? | 02:24 |
| crdlb | (xfwm4 is another) | 02:24 |

| kevin_112 | Please, could someone help me? | 02:24 |
| Fryguy-- | !ask | kevin_112 | 02:25 |
| ubottu | kevin_112: 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. :-) | 02:25 |
| Elijah | kevin_112, yeah, i did that too in the beginning, we are just supposed to ask the question, in as few posts as possible | 02:25 |
| Rhorse | Fryguy--, thanks. So, there is a switch for connecting to a specific node and for supplying password and such? | 02:25 |
| Fryguy-- | Rhorse: yes | 02:25 |
| saint-takeshi | amenado: it's shared memory, shouldn't i just be able to turn it up? or would i need to put in more system memory? | 02:26 |
| kevin_112 | ubottu & Elijah: I'm sorry. I am running xfce, and I wanted to know how could I get the gnome network manager applet to display itself with the xfapplet in XFCE. | 02:26 |
| ubottu | kevin_112: Error: I am only a bot, please don't think I'm intelligent :) | 02:26 |
| Rhorse | Fryguy--, OK, thanks that's what I needed to know. I will try it. | 02:26 |
| xcesarfrancox | Hi everyone, I'm trying to install samba so I can enable file sharing with my desktop, but I get an error while doing it | 02:26 |
| minhaaj | well it worked Fryguy-- but how did you do that ? | 02:26 |
| minhaaj | what is the logic ? | 02:26 |
| amenado | saint-takeshi-> huh? shared memory? on a video card? | 02:26 |
| Elijah | kevin_112, dont be sorry, and ubotto is a droid, not a real person, i dont know anything about xfce and cannot help you | 02:27 |
| Fryguy-- | minhaaj: files have 3 levels of permissions, owner, group, and everyone else. I set the group for all of those files to the group that you belong to, and then gave the group read/write permissions | 02:27 |
| lanoxx | whats the reason ubuntu can not resolve netbios names of windows computers? do i need some additional package/program for this to work? | 02:27 |

| saint-takeshi | amenado: my original question stated that it's a laptop | 02:27 |
| minhaaj | sudo chgrp -R minhaaj /var/www/ -r makes it recursively editable whats chgrp ? | 02:28 |
| nano_ | is it possible to have tab completion act after the following "apt-get install <tab?>" | 02:28 |
| minhaaj | change group ? | 02:28 |
| Fryguy-- | minhaaj: change group | 02:28 |
| amenado | saint-takeshi-> so go ahead and add more ram, not sure if it will do what you wanted though | 02:28 |
| minhaaj | i presume i can use it on other directories too ? | 02:28 |
| Fryguy-- | minhaaj: yes | 02:28 |
| saint-takeshi | intel GMA965 X3100 (directx10 compatible acceleration....or it would be if i could give it more than 8mb of my system ram) | 02:29 |
| minhaaj | ok lately i have been facing a problem you might help me with Fryguy-- how do you copy all your home directory to usb ? | 02:29 |
| Fryguy-- | minhaaj: might want to go read some documentation on administration of linux systems before you go nuts though. Most flies have their permissions set a specific way for a specific reason | 02:29 |
| minhaaj | it won't allow me to do so and inspite of the fact i have the access to home | 02:29 |
| Fryguy-- | minhaaj: mount the usb drive somewhere (/mnt/tmp or whatever), then cp -a /home/ /mnt/tmp | 02:29 |
| AndyCR | minhaaj: File permissions will be messed up, fat32 doesn't support them. I would tar them. | 02:29 |
| minhaaj | actually i have tried 10 back up techniques and i screwed up ubuntu 10 times | 02:30 |
| AndyCR | ? | 02:30 |
| AndyCR | How? | 02:30 |
| minhaaj | i was on kubuntu before. installed 10 times and updated ten times but i have never been able to back up | 02:30 |
| xcesarfrancox | I had samba installed before, when sharing files from/to another ubuntu laptop, but I can't share anything between my ubuntu laptop and my xp desktop, so I did a 'sudo aptitude remove samba' and now I try with 'sudo aptitude install samba' and I get: * Starting Samba daemons [fail] | 02:30 |
| AndyCR | Wouldn't you restore to a test directory before writing over your home folder? | 02:30 |
| minhaaj | i dont know AndyCR somebody told me to copy home directory to back up settings | 02:31 |
| Fryguy-- | minhaaj: like i said, take some time to find and read some documentation on the administration of *nix systems. It'll help you understand some of the fundamentals better so you don't run into as many problems | 02:31 |
| minhaaj | i did that, and reinstalled and over wrote home, i got my desktop and settings but not programs and links were broken | 02:31 |
| minhaaj | Fryguy--: give me a link please | 02:31 |
| saint-takeshi | actually, i guess it could be a bios thing. they maybe lock down the options and expect you to use acer's bloatware under vista to set it up properly | 02:31 |
| minhaaj | i used sback up, home back up user, mondomindi | 02:31 |
| saint-takeshi | and i already deleted my recovery drive. | 02:31 |
| minhaaj | nothing works, tried simple tar.gz won't work | 02:31 |
| Fryguy-- | minhaaj: http://www.google.com/search?q=linux+administration&ie=utf-8&oe=utf-8&aq=t&rls=org.mozilla:en-US:official&client=firefox-a | 02:31 |
| saint-takeshi | angers | 02:31 |
| minhaaj | thanks Fryguy-- | 02:32 |
| minhaaj | i won't stop until i am able to back up. i want something like norton ghost. | 02:32 |
| Fryguy-- | minhaaj: dd acts like ghost | 02:32 |
| WalloO | mindframe, partimage | 02:32 |
| DIL | partimage | 02:33 |
| minhaaj | i test alot with ubuntu and do crazy stuff so i am bound to mess up. but if i have ghost it won't have to worry. i can get a particular restore | 02:33 |
| xcesarfrancox | I had samba installed before, when sharing files from/to another ubuntu laptop, but I can't share anything between my ubuntu laptop and my xp desktop, so I did a 'sudo aptitude remove samba' and now I try with 'sudo aptitude install samba' and I get: * Starting Samba daemons [fail] What do I have to do to share files with my desktop?? install ubuntu on it??? format c:??? | 02:33 |

| akuma5 | like | 02:33 |

| Fryguy-- | minhaaj: dd if=/dev/partition/you/want/to/backup of=/location/where/you/want/equivalent/of/iso/to/go | 02:33 |
| AndyCR | But it's a bit complex for something like this | 02:33 |
| minhaaj | its command line AndyCR too many attributes i am new to linux. | 02:33 |
| WalloO | minhaaj, partiamge | 02:34 |
| minhaaj | just been a month and i am loving it. i won't sleep at night. i am always busy configuring :D i have turned into an addict | 02:34 |

| newbyx86 | try out slackware | 02:34 |

| newbyx86 | if yo uwant to learn the command line | 02:34 |
| RenatoSilva | what's my nick? | 02:34 |
| CostaRicanQuaker | from the terminal | 02:34 |
| Fryguy-- | CostaRicanQuaker: install restricted extras | 02:34 |
| minhaaj | it creates an iso of whole partition and on boot gives you an installation mode ? | 02:34 |
| newbyx86 | use ubuntu for a year, know ubuntu; use slackware for a year, know linux. :P | 02:34 |
| CostaRicanQuaker | Fryguy: how? | 02:35 |
| minhaaj | slackware is the oldest i presume | 02:35 |
| Fryguy-- | CostaRicanQuaker: sudo apt-get install restricted-extras or something | 02:35 |
| CostaRicanQuaker | what's the exact command? | 02:35 |
| RenatoSilva | tell my nick | 02:35 |
| Fryguy-- | minhaaj: it's one of the older ones | 02:35 |
| Fryguy-- | RenatoSilva: | 02:35 |
| WalloO | minhaaj, I don't know. If you want do do creazy things with linux, then use a VM | 02:35 |
| xcesarfrancox | CostaRicanQuaker: sudo aptitude install ubuntu-restricted-extras | 02:35 |
| minhaaj | the place i live, very few people know linux. they are surprised when i show them stuff like compiz and cli skills | 02:35 |
| minhaaj | :D | 02:35 |
| RenatoSilva | Fryguy--: nicksaid, I don't understand this plugin | 02:35 |
| minhaaj | i couldnt get to configure virtualbox WalloO | 02:35 |
| minhaaj | :s | 02:35 |
| minhaaj | i couldnt configure wine too. but i keep trying. one day i'll succeed :) | 02:36 |
| Fryguy-- | minhaaj: the documentation for it is pretty straightforward | 02:36 |
| xcesarfrancox | CostaRicanQuaker: take a look at www.ubuntuguide.org | 02:36 |
| minhaaj | you people have been so helpful. no wonder linux pwns microsoft | 02:36 |
| CostaRicanQuaker | xcesarfrancox: thank you | 02:36 |
| xcesarfrancox | you're welcome | 02:36 |
| Fryguy-- | minhaaj: lol :( | 02:36 |
| minhaaj | well when you are at a higher level you think its pretty easy. for newbies its pretty much greek | 02:36 |
| minhaaj | yea truly you people are amazing. | 02:36 |
| CostaRicanQuaker | xcesarfrancox: how come the nickname? | 02:36 |
| AndyCR | minhaaj: No offense intended, but I'm sure Microsoft would walk you through and hold your hand for free | 02:37 |
| Fryguy-- | minhaaj: and to think, i don't use linux | 02:37 |
| DIL | well the only way to lern greek is to ask | 02:37 |
| xcesarfrancox | CostaRicanQuaker: yup, ubuntu community is the best, I just hope my problem was that easy so anyone could help me :( | 02:37 |
| WalloO | minhaaj, use the one from sun microsystem, not the one in ubuntu repository | 02:37 |
| minhaaj | who cares AndyCR | 02:37 |
| DIL | the ubuntu one is fine | 02:37 |
| minhaaj | got a link WalloO ? | 02:37 |
| AndyCR | minhaaj: You, apparently, since you're comparing us to Microsoft | 02:37 |
| mariachiac | problem with revolution and nvidia GForce FX series5. I prevously had to enable ubuntu to operate on low graphics mode. What shal I do to get better resolution? | 02:37 |

| minhaaj | windows is for zombies without brain | 02:38 |
| Maarek7 | exit | 02:38 |
| Fryguy-- | minhaaj: I use windows | 02:38 |
| mariachiac | the commands I ran were as following ctrl-alt-f1, sudo nano /etc/X11/xorg.c;onf, scroll down to your video device, change driver to vesa _Mart_ | 02:38 |
| mariachiac | then sudo /etc/init.d/?dm restart _rp | 02:38 |

| xcesarfrancox | CostaRicanQuaker: I'm from Colombia by the way... :) | 02:38 |
| minhaaj | :as | 02:38 |
| CostaRicanQuaker | xcesarfrancox: no, the combination of names | 02:38 |
| minhaaj | :s | 02:38 |
| akuma5 | does any body know the command to mount a drive | 02:38 |
| minhaaj | Fryguy--: it sux | 02:38 |
| NSsmiles | hi | 02:38 |
| AndyCR | akuma5: mount | 02:38 |
| WalloO | minhaaj, you're welcome... :) | 02:38 |
| CostaRicanQuaker | oh, so it has nothing to do with franco the dictator | 02:38 |
| Fryguy-- | minhaaj: i disagree, but it's outside of the scope of this channel anyway | 02:38 |
| xcesarfrancox | CostaRicanQuaker: My name is Cesar and my last name is Franco | 02:38 |
| jbroome | akuma5: sudo mount /dev/whatever | 02:38 |
| DIL | mount /dev/hdX# | 02:38 |
| minhaaj | okie dokie :) | 02:38 |
| nano_ | How do I get my system to log the occurrence of a specific command? | 02:39 |
| AndyCR | minhaaj: So all you want to do is backup your home folder once? | 02:39 |
| minhaaj | yep | 02:39 |
| minhaaj | and thats something i have never been able to do :s | 02:39 |
| minhaaj | once i get a clone ready that i can install after each mess, i won't care about testing more things | 02:39 |
| minhaaj | thats how one learns | 02:39 |
| DIL | how about home user backup | 02:39 |
| AndyCR | minhaaj: I would just drag and drop them | 02:39 |
| minhaaj | didnt work for me DIL | 02:39 |
| minhaaj | it does create a back up but it won't restore | 02:40 |
| minhaaj | back up restore won't even open | 02:40 |
| minhaaj | AndyCR: you mean open usb and nautilus home and drag home directory to usb ? | 02:40 |
| DIL | home user restore | 02:40 |
| AndyCR | minhaaj: Yeah, that seems the simplest way | 02:40 |
| nano_ | How do I get my system to log the occurrence of a specific command? | 02:40 |
| minhaaj | thats what i meant DIL | 02:40 |
| DIL | k | 02:40 |
| Fryguy-- | !repeat | nano_ | 02:40 |
| ubottu | nano_: 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 | 02:40 |
| AndyCR | But if you do it to a USB stick you'll want to tar them first | 02:40 |
| AndyCR | Fat32 doesn't get permissions | 02:41 |
| akuma5 | what does fuse: mount failed: Device or resource busy | 02:41 |
| * nano_ :D | 02:41 | |
| minhaaj | well it won't tar. | 02:41 |
| akuma5 | mean | 02:41 |
| minhaaj | permissions stuff | 02:41 |
| akuma5 | ? | 02:41 |
| AndyCR | minhaaj: That's weird. | 02:41 |
| Fryguy-- | akuma5: is it already mounted? | 02:41 |
| mariachiac | It's becaues I am unable to change the resolution to 1024 by 688 | 02:41 |
| DIL | partimage is gui pretty straight forward | 02:41 |
| AndyCR | Does root own any of the files under home or something? | 02:41 |
| xcesarfrancox | Somebody help me, I can't share files between my laptop and my desktop, my laptop has ubuntu and my desktop has windows XP | 02:41 |
| mariachiac | 600* | 02:41 |
| Fryguy-- | !samba | xcesarfrancox | 02:42 |
| ubottu | xcesarfrancox: Samba is the way to cooperate with Windows environments. Links with more info: https://wiki.ubuntu.com/MountWindowsSharesPermanently and http://help.ubuntu.com/ubuntu/serverguide/C/windows-networking.html - Samba can be administered via the web with SWAT. | 02:42 |
| minhaaj | yep. now i have apton cd | 02:42 |
| obf213 | does anyone elses firefox crash the first time they play a flash video in a while...for example if i leave and come back an hour late play a flash video firefox crashes "segfault" | 02:42 |
| minhaaj | i dont have to downlaod updates but i still i have to make alot of configs when i reinstall | 02:42 |
| ziggy__ | any one want to help me get set up with vmare? or compiz fushion plugins? | 02:42 |
| minhaaj | i have no idea andy | 02:42 |
| ziggy__ | VMware | 02:42 |
| mariachiac | brb | 02:42 |
| Fryguy-- | ziggy__: try virtualbox instead, as for compiz, compizconfig-settings-manager | 02:42 |
| AndyCR | minhaaj: I've never tried. When I set up a new machine, I just use scp to copy the home folder from another machine I use. All my home folders are the same, more or less | 02:42 |
| ziggy__ | ok | 02:43 |
| AndyCR | minhaaj: It seems extremely strange that it wouldn't tar, though. | 02:43 |
| ziggy__ | Thanks dude | 02:43 |
| minhaaj | yea but how do you save your programs settings that are in etc ? | 02:43 |
| lanoxx | can anyone tell me how netbios name resolution works between ubuntu and windows? which service is responsible for it? | 02:43 |
| minhaaj | and some in var i presume | 02:43 |
| xcesarfrancox | Fryguy--: I already have samba installed, but when I go to Places -> Network -> Workgroup -> Desktop I don't see any of my shared folders | 02:43 |
| Fryguy-- | minhaaj: you don't, that is part of the baseline system configuration, and is dependent on what is installed and such | 02:43 |
| Fryguy-- | xcesarfrancox: are you logged in correctly? and on the right workgroup? | 02:44 |
| Fryguy-- | minhaaj: if you want to back up the whole system, back up the whole system, the only discrete component that can easily be maintained separately is /home | 02:44 |
| xcesarfrancox | I'm on the right workgroup, but I guess it is supposed to ask for my windows user and pwd, but anything prompts | 02:45 |
| friendlys | how can i get the numeric chmodded value of the file by using the chmod command? i recall it was something like chmod -v - somefile ? can someone correct me ? | 02:45 |
| xcesarfrancox | Fryguy--: I'm on the right workgroup, but I guess it is supposed to ask for my windows user and pwd, but anything prompts | 02:45 |
| Fryguy-- | friendlys: ls -l will give you want you want | 02:45 |
| minhaaj | Fryguy--: yea but how would i restore whole system ? | 02:45 |
| Fryguy-- | xcesarfrancox: no idea then | 02:45 |
| Fryguy-- | minhaaj: by backing up the entire partition, useing partimage, or dd, or whatever | 02:45 |
| minhaaj | that would be great. i have a 8 gb usb and i can back up whole system including programs | 02:45 |
| xcesarfrancox | Fryguy--: thanks... :( | 02:45 |
| xcesarfrancox | Fryguy--: do you think it is a problem of my ubuntu laptop or my windows desktop? | 02:46 |
| Fryguy-- | xcesarfrancox: no idea | 02:46 |
| CostaRicanQuaker | Fryguy: do i have to reboot for the codecs to start working? | 02:46 |
| DIL | xcesarfrancox: you are not alone | 02:46 |
| Fryguy-- | CostaRicanQuaker: no | 02:46 |
| xcesarfrancox | Fryguy--: ok thankyou | 02:46 |
| friendlys | i need it in numeric | 02:46 |
| CostaRicanQuaker | Fryguy: they're not working then | 02:46 |
| CostaRicanQuaker | or that didnt work then | 02:46 |
| CostaRicanQuaker | i clicked on one of the mp3s | 02:47 |
| CostaRicanQuaker | and it says i dont have the codecs necessary | 02:47 |
| ziggy__ | Qustion about compiz fushion what is it called to get the gooyee affect on the bottem of the page to choose what your looking at | 02:47 |
| xcesarfrancox | DIL: what do you mean?? is that common my problem? (I'm sorry, my english is note very good) | 02:47 |
| CostaRicanQuaker | You do not have a decoder installed to handle this file. You might need to install the necessary plugins. | 02:47 |
| CostaRicanQuaker | i thought i did | 02:48 |
| minhaaj | ok Fryguy-- | 02:48 |
| DIL | xcesarfrancox: mine went away after an update i can see my xp box but cannot connecty to the share | 02:48 |
| minhaaj | though i am not sure i understand partimage or dd | 02:48 |
| ana | hola soy ana | 02:48 |
| ana | me gustaria platicar con un hombre maduro | 02:48 |
| DIL | partimage is gui pretty straight forward | 02:48 |
| Fryguy-- | ziggy__: preview or thumbnail or something | 02:48 |
| xcesarfrancox | DIL: but do you even see the folders? I mean, I have about 6 or 7 folders, but when I enter my desktop it doesn't even show one single folder | 02:49 |
| zenwryly | I'm looking for a voice transcription/speech to text/voice recognition solution for transcribing my small voice memos to save me typing. I don't need anything more complicated than that. I don't need, for example, to control the computer with voice. Any reccomendations? | 02:49 |
| DIL | xcesarfrancox: no folders | 02:49 |
| gordonjcp | zenwryly: there's nothing particularly good for that, even in the closed-source world | 02:49 |
| CostaRicanQuaker | help anyone? | 02:49 |
| xcesarfrancox | CostaRicanQuaker: go to Aplicaciones (I guess you have ubuntu on spanish) Añadir/quitar | 02:50 |
| CostaRicanQuaker | um nope, it's in english | 02:50 |
| CostaRicanQuaker | ok | 02:50 |
| gordonjcp | zenwryly: my fiancee had something running on Windows XP that was supposed to type up her college notes as she dictated them, to try and mitigate the effects of dyslexia | 02:50 |
| gordonjcp | zenwryly: they results were at best comical | 02:50 |
| zenwryly | gordonjcp: hehe | 02:50 |
| gordonjcp | s/they/the/ | 02:50 |
| Fryguy-- | zenkk: dasher maybe | 02:50 |
| DIL | xcesarfrancox: post your smb.conf file see if someone can see why you are having a problem | 02:50 |
| CostaRicanQuaker | ok xcesarfrancox | 02:50 |
| zenwryly | gordonjcp: was that dragon? | 02:50 |
| CostaRicanQuaker | now what? | 02:50 |
| gordonjcp | zenwryly: kurzweil | 02:50 |
| xcesarfrancox | CostaRicanQuaker: then search for gstreamer and install gstreamer extra plugins | 02:51 |
| gordonjcp | zenwryly: not really suited to highly techy comp sci or forensic chemistry | 02:51 |
| xcesarfrancox | DIL: Do I post it here or on the forums? | 02:51 |
| DIL | xcesarfrancox: i meant pastebin | 02:51 |
| xcesarfrancox | DIL: Sorry, I don't know about that | 02:52 |
| DIL | xcesarfrancox: there are a buch of smart people here | 02:52 |
| CostaRicanQuaker | xcesarfrancox, where do i look for it? | 02:52 |
| CostaRicanQuaker | i typoed it on the search box | 02:52 |
| CostaRicanQuaker | and it didnt show up | 02:52 |
| zenwryly | gordonjcp: hmm, well I don't mind typing the terminology bits | 02:52 |
| xcesarfrancox | CostaRicanQuaker: ok, let's do it from the terminal, wait please | 02:53 |
| Smaug | so I'm about to get a VPS (upgrading my site from being on shared) and am planning on using Ubuntu on the server. I have never used linux before. What resources do you all reccomend to help me on the right track? | 02:53 |
| CostaRicanQuaker | ok | 02:53 |
| CostaRicanQuaker | thats better | 02:53 |
| Fryguy-- | Smaug: www.ubuntu.com | 02:53 |
| Smaug | Fryguy--: i should have guessed that one | 02:53 |
| Fryguy-- | Smaug: also the ubuntuguide and the wiki | 02:54 |
| Smaug | are those on ubuntu.com as well? | 02:54 |
| xcesarfrancox | CostaRicanQuaker: did you install ubuntu-restricted-extras? | 02:54 |
| Fryguy-- | Smaug: prolly | 02:54 |
| CostaRicanQuaker | nope | 02:54 |
| Smaug | ok. ty | 02:54 |
| goldbond | i have an ubuntu box that cannot connect to the internet | 02:54 |
| goldbond | how can i wipe its hdd? | 02:54 |
| CostaRicanQuaker | i copied and paste the comand fryguy gave | 02:54 |
| Fryguy-- | goldbond: wouldn't you rather fix the problem | 02:54 |
| perlsyntax | how do i install the compiz-theme? | 02:55 |
| perlsyntax | ? | 02:55 |
| saint-takeshi | goldbond: that's an impressive leap of logic, there... "canny get online...bugger....reformat!" | 02:55 |
| xcesarfrancox | CostaRicanQuaker: sudo aptitude install ubuntu-restricted-extras | 02:56 |
| xcesarfrancox | CostaRicanQuaker: that should give you mp3 support | 02:56 |
| perlsyntax | how do i install the compiz theme from gnome-look? | 02:56 |
| xcesarfrancox | CostaRicanQuaker: for a full multimedia support do the following: sudo aptitude install gstreamer0.10-plugins-ugly-multiverse gstreamer0.10-plugins-bad-multiverse gstreamer0.10-plugins-bad gstreamer0.10-plugins-ugly gstreamer0.10-ffmpeg libxine1-ffmpeg libdvdread3 | 02:57 |
| CostaRicanQuaker | xcesarfrancox: http://paste.ubuntu.com/25316/ | 02:57 |
| perlsyntax | anyone? | 02:57 |
| goldbond | saint-takeshi: well, i am going to donate it | 02:57 |
| neurobuntu | goldbond, what do you mean by wipe? do you mean just delete the files, or completly remove all traces of files from the computer? | 02:57 |
| perlsyntax | hello! | 02:57 |
| traderdave | hello everyone | 02:58 |
| xcesarfrancox | CostaRicanQuaker: maybe you don't have universe and multiverse repositories enabled | 02:58 |
| CostaRicanQuaker | its now downloading | 02:58 |
| CostaRicanQuaker | with that last command you gave me | 02:58 |
| perlsyntax | is someone going to help me? | 02:58 |
| perlsyntax | please | 02:58 |
| CostaRicanQuaker | let me try after that | 02:58 |
| xcesarfrancox | CostaRicanQuaker: ok, but let's check if you have enabled universe and multiverse | 02:58 |
| CostaRicanQuaker | perlysyntax: yes, patience | 02:59 |
| perlsyntax | sorry | 02:59 |
| CostaRicanQuaker | ok, how | 02:59 |
| Fryguy-- | goldbond: darik's boot and nuke | 02:59 |
| xcesarfrancox | please go to system -> administration -> software sources | 02:59 |
| goldbond | neurobuntu: i want to get rid of the files, but i would like to do it as quickly as possible. i'm not a secret agent, but i don't want to make it easy for people to poke around | 02:59 |
| Fryguy-- | goldbond: google it, first result, it's a boot cd that will wipe the hard drive clean | 02:59 |
| CostaRicanQuaker | i got software properties | 02:59 |
| CostaRicanQuaker | don't see sources | 02:59 |
| neurobuntu | goldbond, simply boot a live cd , open the Partition Manager, then reformat the partition | 02:59 |
| mynnx | howdy folks! | 03:00 |
| xcesarfrancox | perlsyntax: which compiz theme? | 03:00 |
| neurobuntu | goldbond, it won't prevent a forensics expert from being able to access the files, but the average person won't be able to | 03:00 |
| goldbond | i am running shred now, but it is really slow | 03:00 |
| goldbond | i have a few more hdds i want to sell on ebay | 03:00 |
| neurobuntu | goldbond, a simple reformat should do it | 03:00 |
| perlsyntax | 83640-LM_Glossy.emerald | 03:00 |
| DIL | any secure wipe will be slow | 03:00 |
| xcesarfrancox | CostaRicanQuaker: please wait | 03:00 |
| CostaRicanQuaker | no hay problema | 03:00 |
| xcesarfrancox | perlsyntax: do you have emerald installed? | 03:00 |
| goldbond | is there anything between a secure wipe and re partitioning? | 03:01 |
| perlsyntax | i not sure i don't think so | 03:01 |
| goldbond | maybe just writing zeros once | 03:01 |
| neurobuntu | goldbond, not really | 03:01 |
| perlsyntax | apt-get install emerald? | 03:01 |
| xcesarfrancox | perlsyntax: please do this from a terminal: sudo aptitude install emerald emerald-themes | 03:01 |
| neurobuntu | you have to overwrite the bits 2 or 3 times for it to truly be secure... thats a lot of data to write | 03:01 |
| neurobuntu | it takes time | 03:01 |
| DIL | partioning will wipe mft | 03:01 |
| neurobuntu | DIL: but it won't wipe the actual data, which is still recoverable after a reformatting | 03:02 |
| xcesarfrancox | perlsyntax: then you have to open up the emerald theme manager, and there you can import the theme you want and select it, then you do this: hit alt+f2 and write emerald --replace | 03:02 |
| goldbond | what is the easiest way to partition? | 03:02 |
| MrGnu | if you do like a quadruple reformat, you definetly destroy the traces | 03:02 |
| neurobuntu | goldbond, LivCD | 03:02 |
| traderdave | anyone familiar with dual boot in vista? trying to install ubuntu on new partition and can't get it to work by installing it or using the option to try before installing | 03:02 |
| DIL | yes | 03:02 |
| goldbond | from the command line? | 03:02 |
| mynnx | hey has anyone had a problem getting ubuntu to see usb drives with ehci? when i modprobe ehci_hcd and rmmod uhci_hcd nothing shows up in dmesg | 03:02 |
| MrGnu | Switch between op systems, this will do it, but really, once is enough Goldbond. | 03:02 |
| neurobuntu | traderdave: search google there are HUNDREDS of walkthroughts | 03:02 |
| xcesarfrancox | perlsyntax: also try fusion-icon: sudo aptitude install fusion icon | 03:02 |
| traderdave | have tried that | 03:02 |
| MrGnu | Unless you are worried about your top secret swiss bank accounts being found | 03:03 |
| mynnx | traderdave, what happens? | 03:03 |
| xcesarfrancox | CostaRicanQuaker: gksudo gedit /etc/apt/sources.list | 03:03 |
| mynnx | saying you "can't get it to work" doesn't help us much | 03:03 |
| traderdave | well I get to the screen that asks what language I want to install, then my monitor flashes rainbow colors after that | 03:03 |
| xcesarfrancox | CostaRicanQuaker: and post it like the output of the command before | 03:03 |
| mynnx | whoa weird | 03:03 |
| mynnx | does it work in the livecd, traderdave? | 03:04 |
| traderdave | yes, then when I reboot into Vista, I have to repair network connections | 03:04 |
| traderdave | something about TCP settings | 03:04 |
| mynnx | that's really odd | 03:04 |
| CostaRicanQuaker | perlysyntax: i got two things, the sources list file and http://paste.ubuntu.com/25317/ | 03:04 |
| mynnx | the live cd shouldn't have any impact on vista | 03:04 |
| traderdave | I have tried burning it to CD and also Wubi | 03:04 |
| mynnx | anyone have any input on my question? | 03:04 |
| CostaRicanQuaker | xcesarfrancox: http://paste.ubuntu.com/25318/ | 03:04 |
| xcesarfrancox | CostaRicanQuaker: try this sudo gedit /etc/apt/sources.list | 03:05 |
| CostaRicanQuaker | also, look up, that post under perlysyntax was for you | 03:05 |
| goldbond | one last question. how can i reformat a second hdd from the command line? | 03:05 |
| MrGnu | Get another CD mynnx, test it out | 03:05 |
| xcesarfrancox | yup, I did realize that, lol | 03:05 |
| CostaRicanQuaker | http://paste.ubuntu.com/25319/ | 03:05 |
| mynnx | CD? that's traderdave's problem | 03:05 |
| Fryguy-- | goldbond: cfdisk and mkfs | 03:05 |
| xcesarfrancox | perlsyntax: how are we doing man? | 03:05 |
| perlsyntax | i had to type compiz --replace and it work | 03:06 |
| MrGnu | oh.. mynnx, can you repost? | 03:06 |
| Fryguy-- | traderdave: try the safe graphics mode | 03:06 |
| tripps | wow that was a 4 hour battle to restore my X server to the way it was before . . . . much work has to be done on the graphic config tools, methodologies, etc. methinks :) | 03:06 |
| mynnx | yeah, sure! my external drive has terrible speeds (according to hdparm), leading me to believe that it's only running usb 1.1 | 03:06 |
| Fryguy-- | tripps: add some documentation to related launchpad bugs, or go vote on ubuntu brainstorm then | 03:07 |
| traderdave | safe graphics mode in Vista? | 03:07 |
| MrGnu | /action is happy because he finally got Kubuntu to work with his Hardy Heron and Compiz Fusion...\ | 03:07 |
| MrGnu | doh | 03:07 |
| MrGnu | lol | 03:07 |
| MrGnu | That is what you get when your using Kopete lol | 03:07 |
| scorpio | ))0) | 03:07 |
| xcesarfrancox | CostaRicanQuaker: parce que universe y multiverse estan habilitados pero en realidad no te sabria decir porque no te deja instalar el paquete ubuntu-restricted-extras | 03:07 |
| Fryguy-- | sometimes i wonder why people are so excited about compiz | 03:07 |
| tripps | Fryguy--, will do - is there a link for ubuntu brainstorm? | 03:07 |
| g6pd_ | howdy | 03:07 |
| Fryguy-- | tripps: http://brainstorm.ubuntu.com/ | 03:07 |
| mynnx | any ideas, MrGnu? | 03:08 |

| g6pd_ | i got a new laptop Model gigabyte W566N-DC44M Intel® Core 2™Duo Processor T9300 6M cache my question is simple | 03:09 |
| AndyCR | tripps: X is about the ugliest thing left in Linux, architecturally | 03:09 |
| mynnx | it's a gutsy ubuntu server | 03:09 |
| scorpio | kill your sell loser | 03:09 |

| Fryguy-- | xcesarfrancox: wonderful, nobody cares (and i happen to like windows). | 03:09 |
| Fryguy-- | !language | xcesarfrancox | 03:10 |

| MrGnu | ok.. hmm ok.. THe hard Drive , if you are running on USB , you should be able to test it | 03:10 |
| xcesarfrancox | ok sorry | 03:10 |
| Fryguy-- | g6pd_: not in the same partition, no. unless you feel like doing overly complicated chroot stuff | 03:10 |
| mynnx | test it? yeah hdparm -tT reports only 1MB/s rates | 03:10 |
| MrGnu | Your on Gnome mynnx | 03:10 |

| mynnx | ubuntu server | 03:10 |
| jimbo_ | Hi everyone. Is there any way of setting an ethernet card to listen only? I don't know what network a cable belongs to, and want to ID with tcpdump before the card starts throwing out an IP/mac address | 03:10 |
| MrGnu | Ok | 03:10 |

| Ademan | is apache2 supposed to have 4 processes and one of them running as root? that certainly doesn't seem right... (does it create a process per virtual server? or what?) | 03:19 |
| MrGnu | About your slow hardrive issue mynnx, sorry dude, I suck, the only thing I can think of is that if its on the USB, external, that you may want to consider getting another plug, and if its an internal drive and the system is confused, then I d run a hardware test, to see if it could be the driver maybe? Sometimes, if Ubuntu does not recognize a drive, it could be using a default driver, which reduces IO speed to the hard drive arm and stu | 03:19 |
| CostaRicanQuaker | Fryguy: No plugins are installed | 03:19 |
| CostaRicanQuaker | hmmm | 03:20 |
| ruffleS | Fryguy--, Gnea: so if i wanna recompile ubuntu kernel i can just copy the config file fom /boot/ into /usr/src/linux/.config, and then streamline it the way i want? | 03:20 |
| MrGnu | Really suck, thought that I d figure it out, but .. oh well, sorry I was not that much help mynnx | 03:20 |
| Fryguy-- | Ademan: seems right to me, there's a master processes that spawns worker threads as necessary | 03:20 |

| nikonadictk | anyone? | 03:31 |
| g6pd_ | <shyam_k- from expirience windows is a very agressive os not tolerating other os | 03:31 |
| SuperQ | You should use the winehq.com packages, they are up to date with the releases | 03:31 |
| shyam_k | yeah but for that the partition in which ubuntu was previously installed got deleted and added up with vista's data partition.. so he dont have a clean parititon to install.. | 03:31 |
| SuperQ | CostaRicanQuaker: If you want flash player, you should install the "ubuntu-restricted-extras" package | 03:32 |

| CostaRicanQuaker | SuperQ: what is the command for doing that? | 03:32 |

| DIL | nikonadictk: what message | 03:40 |
| nikonadictk | DIL that my password has been denied.. | 03:41 |
| nicknock | dil there is no error msg it just dosn't save the password in the knetworkmanager | 03:41 |
| unop | nikonadictk, using password (YES) means that your password is right, but there is something else preventing you from logging in -- privilieges most likely | 03:41 |
| DIL | nikonadictk: did you give root a pw | 03:41 |
| shyam_k | DIL: g6pd_ now the thing is he just cant boot to vista that the grub shows error,..i said him to re install grub with ubuntu live cd.. so that he can boot in to vista for once and have the parition seperated from vista and then installing ubuntu again in the freed parition..but for that i just wanted to verify that grub works even there is only vista.. | 03:41 |
| khajavi | HELP: How can I find programs and packages that depend on libgtkmm(shared library) ? any command line? | 03:41 |
| nikonadictk | how do I fix that unop because it says password(YES)... I am using the password I know will work, I am 100% sure, I would not have chosen any other password | 03:42 |
| nicknock | if i type in Su and command it wants my password so yes i think | 03:42 |
| shyam_k | khajavi: ldd? | 03:42 |

| marvin__ | Hi guys, I'm trying to get UTF-8 to work in Amarok using the following faq, thing is though, http://amarok.kde.org/wiki/FAQ is that I don't know what to do with the perl script | 03:42 |
| unop | !sudo | nicknock | 03:42 |
| ubottu | nicknock: sudo is a command to run programs with superuser privileges ("root"). Look at https://help.ubuntu.com/community/RootSudo for more information. For graphical applications see !gksu (Gnome), or !kdesu (KDE) | 03:42 |
| DIL | shyam_k: if you want vista only boot in safe mode with vista cd and fixboot or fixmbr | 03:42 |
| marvin__ | Can anyone tell me what to do with the perl script? | 03:42 |
| shyam_k | DIL: oh ok | 03:43 |
| unop | !root | nicknock | 03:43 |
| ubottu | nicknock: Do not try to guess the root password, that is impossible. Instead, realise the truth... there is no root password. Then you will see that it is 'sudo' that grants you access and not the root password. Look at https://help.ubuntu.com/community/RootSudo | 03:43 |
| SuperQ | marvin__: depends on what it is | 03:43 |
| shyam_k | DIL: just wanted to instruct him a solution using ubuntu:) | 03:43 |

| nikonadictk | unop can you show me how to completly reinstall both mysql and phpmyadmin | 03:44 |
| g6pd_ | <shyam_k i dunno what is the problem but gennerally is just the shortcuts to os that doesnt work he may well get it back somehow (past my knoledge) | 03:44 |
| nikonadictk | unop I guess I dont need to remove phpmyadmin because chaning the mYSQL password should fix it | 03:44 |
| unop | nikonadictk, sudo aptitude purge mysql mysql-common mysql-server mysqladmin etc && sudo aptitude install mysqladmin mysql-server # the exact package names are unknown to me, please verify them | 03:45 |
| DIL | nikonadictk: if root did not have a pw it is mysql - u root | 03:45 |
| DIL | -u | 03:45 |
| unop | DIL, he knows his password, it is right, mysql just isn't letting him log in | 03:46 |
| nikonadictk | unop can I do that with sudp apt-get... I am in CLI through SSH | 03:46 |
| DIL | k | 03:46 |
| unop | nikonadictk, use aptitude | 03:46 |
| unop | nikonadictk, you can use apt-get -- but use aptitude, it's installed by default anyway | 03:46 |
| nikonadictk | unop gotya | 03:46 |
| nikonadictk | unop it says score 604 | 03:46 |
| BoltClock | unop: sorry to cut in, but whats the difference between the two of them? | 03:46 |
| unop | BoltClock, one sec | 03:47 |
| nikonadictk | should I accept the solution unop? | 03:47 |
| erpo | I need to burn some files on my server to a DVD+R. What's the best way to do this? I only want to burn some of the files in a directory, not all of them. | 03:47 |
| unop | nikonadictk, well, i dunno what it is doing .. so i suggest you use the pastebinit utility and paste that output to a pastebin | 03:47 |
| erpo | I tried making a new directory and some symbolic links to the files I wanted, and then told growisofs to burn that new directory to dvd, but all I got was a dvd full of symbolic links. | 03:47 |
| DIL | !k3b | 03:47 |
| ubottu | k3b is a feature-rich and user-friendly burning application for KDE (and, as all KDE applications, works fine on GNOME). For a guide, see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/K3BHowto | 03:47 |
| nikonadictk | roger that unop : http://paste.ubuntu.com/25323/ | 03:48 |
| erpo | DIL: command line only. | 03:48 |
| erpo | DIL: It's a headless server. | 03:48 |
| unop | BoltClock, aptitude is considered to be an advanced apt-get .. it pretty much does all what apt-get can do, only slightly different -- but where it is good at is managing dependencies, it has a better algorithm | 03:48 |
| unop | nikonadictk, yes, go ahead and select this option | 03:49 |
| aib | i see a cron job for slocate in cron.daily but it's not being run. anyone know why? | 03:50 |
| nikonadictk | alright unop its working... BTW THANK YOU SO MUCH FOR ALL THIS HELP I realy appreciate it | 03:50 |
| nikonadictk | unop I mean working as the aptitute is uninstalling... what next ha | 03:50 |
| unop | nikonadictk, mysql working already? wow | 03:50 |
| unop | ha | 03:50 |
| nikonadictk | ha | 03:50 |
| BoltClock | unop: i see | 03:50 |
| BoltClock | unop: should i use aptitude in future then, or? | 03:50 |
| unop | nikonadictk, you'll need to make sure that the /etc/mysql/my.conf no longer exists -- infact, remove /etc/mysql completely | 03:51 |
| aib | `slocate test' : slocate: fatal error: Could not find user database '/var/lib/slocate/slocate.db' | 03:51 |
| aib | `ls /etc/cron.daily/` : ... slocate ... | 03:51 |
| nikonadictk | sudo rm -rf /etc/mysql unop? | 03:51 |
| nickrud | aib it should be run by anacron, when you boot or at 7:30 am | 03:51 |
| aib | nickrud, its not happening. | 03:51 |
| irocha_ | hi | 03:51 |
| unop | nikonadictk, actually don't worry, i gave you a command that should take care of this | 03:52 |
| aib | this is a brand new system (3 days old). many many reboots since then | 03:52 |
| nikonadictk | alrighty.. next to re-install of them correct | 03:52 |
| nickrud | aib do you have an anacron crontab fragment in /etc/cron.d ? | 03:52 |
| unop | nikonadictk, just let the command finish and try mysqladmin again | 03:52 |
| aib | yep its the only thing there | 03:52 |
| nuno_nunes | Hi ppl | 03:52 |
| nikonadictk | unop as in do the mysqladmin command you gave me before: mysql -u root -p password | 03:52 |
| unop | nikonadictk, the command ought to reinstall them -- but make sure all these packages that were just removed (inadvertently) are reinstalled | 03:52 |
| nickrud | aib is crond running? | 03:52 |
| unop | nikonadictk, yes, eventually, try that | 03:53 |
| aib | nickrud, should i see crond in ps ax | grep crond? | 03:53 |
| nikonadictk | unop it says the file /usr/bin/mysql does not exist.... | 03:53 |
| nickrud | aib cron , not crond sorry | 03:53 |
| unop | BoltClock, aptitude tends to install recommended packages by default -- it's a good thing and a bad thing, bad thing is the bloat that accumulates over time .. best to use apt-get to install and aptitude to remove | 03:53 |
| nickrud | aib and to answer the question, yes you should see cron running | 03:54 |
| unop | nikonadictk, hold on | 03:54 |
| aib | nickrud, /usr/sbin/cron is running | 03:54 |
| nikonadictk | unop take your time | 03:54 |
| aib | ls /et30 7 * * * root test -x /etc/init.d/anacron && /usr/sbin/invoke-rc.d anacron start >/dev/null | 03:54 |
| BoltClock | unop: ok, thanks | 03:54 |
| nicknock | seems like mac is the way to go | 03:54 |
| nickrud | aib try running /etc/init.d/anacron , and check the /var/log/syslog | 03:55 |
| orbisvicis | im missing my .dbus file, whats it for, what are its permissions, what program will create it ? | 03:55 |
| aib | nickrud, Jul 5 22:55:22 mist anacron[7183]: Anacron 2.3 started on 2008-07-05 \n Jul 5 22:55:22 mist anacron[7183]: Normal exit (0 jobs run | 03:55 |
| orbisvicis | hm actually .dbus directory i think, im not sure anymore | 03:56 |
| nicknock | to many bugs | 03:56 |
| unop | BoltClock, but sometimes apt-get struggles on installing a package because of some complex dependency issue - you could use aptitude then - usually works | 03:56 |

| shyam_k | DIL: unfortunately(or fortunately) he dont have vista cd with him,but he has ubuntu cd with him..now i see http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=224351 this thread to install grub from live cd.. it has this command "find /boot/grub/stage1" and that should output something like (hd0,1) no matter what operating system he has in disk right? | 04:00 |
| orbisvicis | whats an application that uses dbus | 04:00 |
| unop | rand0m, depends on the file you want to extract | 04:00 |
| unop | orbisvicis, gnome-session | 04:00 |

| shyam_k | ok my question is,find /boot/grub/stage1 should report something like (hd0,1) no matter what OS is in disk right? | 04:01 |
| gizmobay | Anyone know the name of the package that helps track down the cause of a segfault. I can't remeber the name and I know it's only available for deb and ubuntu. | 04:01 |
| === theFATMAN is now known as Obi | ||
| rand0m | unop, Rhorse - right now im using konquerer as the file manager, and i installed the plugins from synaptic package manager which indicated it shoudl give it extraction capabilities as a file manager | 04:01 |
| rand0m | but it doesn't | 04:01 |
| orbisvicis | unop, so if i deleted .dbus and rebooted into a gnome-session, why has .dbus not been recreated ? | 04:01 |
| nickrud | aib same as mine. It's been a while since I tracked anacron & cron, I'm not sure why it would be ignoring that tab | 04:01 |
| nikonadictk | unop in the middle of the command that you gave me... it is sitting at this invoke-rc.d: initscript mysql, action "start" failed. | 04:01 |

| nibsa1242b | What plugin do I need to watch the video on this page http://www.wftv.com/news/16586129/detail.html ? | 04:02 |
| unop | rand0m, you'll need to ask someone who uses konqueror that -- maybe in #kubuntu | 04:02 |
| Shadow_X | anyone know of a good data recovery app? | 04:02 |
| rand0m | Rhorse, *.tar.gz | 04:02 |

| gizmobay | thanks tomd123 | 04:03 |
| rand0m | Shadow_X, photorec | 04:03 |
| Rhorse | rand0m, use the console | 04:03 |
| unop | orbisvicis, ~/.dbus contains user configuration files -- so the directory is only created if you make changes to it's configuration - otherwise it uses the system default | 04:03 |
| rand0m | Rhorse, dont know the commands :\ | 04:03 |
| aib | Shadow_X, http://www.livecdlist.com/?pick=All&showonly=Rescue&sort=&sm=1 | 04:03 |

| nibsa1242b | tomd123: in totem it plays the into advertisement video, and then doesn't play the actual vid. with the xine plugin it doesn't play the vid at all. | 04:05 |
| tomd123 | nibsa1242b: oh, sry I didn't actually click on the link, normally it's a flash video :) it works for me, install all gstreamer codecs and it works for me | 04:05 |
| nikonadictk | unop http://paste.ubuntu.com/25328/ | 04:05 |
| nibsa1242b | tomd123: does the second (actual news) video work for you? | 04:05 |
| unop | orbisvicis, well, i'm not sure what settings and how they are configured -- things would seem the same without ~/.dbus but it's probably working different, it's not like it affects the GUI so much you notice changes | 04:05 |
| tomd123 | nibsa1242b: dunno but it works under totem browser plugin | 04:06 |
| Rhorse | rand0m, and tar -x *.tar will extract the files | 04:06 |
| nibsa1242b | tomd123: ok, I'll reinstall totem | 04:06 |
| tomd123 | nibsa1242b: ya, the second video after the commercial works, I'm watching it as we speak :) | 04:06 |
| nibsa1242b | tomd123: ok, glad to know it works for you | 04:06 |
| Rhorse | rand0m, unop gave the best solution. try it | 04:06 |
| unop | rand0m, actually. cd directory && tar zxvf file.tgz | 04:06 |
| tomd123 | nibsa1242b: go to add/remove, search for gstreamer, (make sure to check the show all programs) and install all the codecs you see | 04:07 |
| nickrud | nibsa1242b I'm seeing the same as you, getting the ad but not the newscaster | 04:07 |
| Rhorse | unop, will that work for *.tar.gz as well? | 04:07 |
| unop | nikonadictk, ctrl+C to end this task, and restart it -- see if that makes a change | 04:07 |
| orbisvicis | unop, thanks ill try fiddling see what brings it back | 04:07 |
| nibsa1242b | tomd123 nickrud: are you in FF2 or FF3? | 04:07 |
| unop | Rhorse, .tgz is .tar.gz - just named shorter | 04:07 |
| unop | Rhorse, in the same way .tbz is .tar.bz2 | 04:07 |
| unop | Rhorse, so, yes to your question | 04:08 |
| tomd123 | nibsa1242b: ff3 | 04:08 |

| crimsun | smolloy: (and, I asked to migrate to this channel, because we tend to keep the other channel as distro-independent as possible) | 04:10 |

| smolloy | crimsun: sometimes, but I installed the latest flash beta (version 10 I think) cos I hear there were problems | 04:13 |
| unop | rand0m, use the second directory -- you really ought to be putting your themes there | 04:13 |
| sir_phobos | right | 04:14 |
| crimsun | smolloy: you'd need intrepid's libasound2 and libasound2-plugins, then. | 04:14 |

| nikonadictk | unop ... ooooh ouch thats a bummer so what do you suggest I do now to fix my mistake.... | 04:17 |
| heyan | Hi, My laptop is Dell 640m. When i open the webpage in Firefox, my screen always turn black and locked. What is the matter? | 04:17 |
| FAHTAW | Varak_, thank you i found it. im new to all this | 04:17 |
| shelbyscates | Fryguy--: thanks a lot :D | 04:17 |
| unop | nikonadictk, what you can do is this tho. cd /var/cache/apt/archives && sudo dpkg -i --force-all mysql-server-5.0* | 04:17 |
| sir_phobos | i just built a new system. tried to install ubuntu with the 32-bit desktop live cd. when i try to run the disk check, install, or boot with the live cd i get a repeating error. something like [numbers] buffer i/o error on device fd0.... i also have some older versions of GParted and I was trying to partition with those. they load the menu but after i selected language and keyboard, it would return something like: !!! Invalid loop location: /gparted.dat.... | 04:17 |
| ganjaman | yeah thats why intel didn't put hyperthreading into the quadcore, windumb doesn't regconize it | 04:17 |
| Fryguy-- | heyan: is your video card set up correctly | 04:17 |
| shelbyscates | thanks guys :) | 04:18 |
| unop | nikonadictk, then when you are done with that. use the last aptitude command i gave ya | 04:18 |
| smolloy | crimsun: http://paste.ubuntu.com/25335/ | 04:18 |
| Varak_ | FAHTAW: me too good luck | 04:18 |
| ganjaman | does the 640m dell work in higher altitudes? | 04:18 |
| nikonadictk | unop gotchya budy | 04:18 |
| Fryguy-- | ganjaman: actually they didn't put hyperthreading in quadcore because the core architecture uses shorter pipelines that actually cause a detrimental behavior when used with hyperthreading | 04:18 |
| heyan | where can i check it? | 04:18 |
| Fryguy-- | heyan: glxinfo | grep -i direct | 04:18 |
| ganjaman | fryguy: yeah but the next generation is able to do that | 04:18 |
| crimsun | smolloy: ok, and amarok's xine config? | 04:19 |
| Fryguy-- | ganjaman: able to, sure, but it slows things down | 04:19 |
| Silcon_Rat | Hello | 04:19 |
| heyan | direct rendering: Yes | 04:19 |
| Fryguy-- | ganjaman: the next generation is going to be more fully separate cores | 04:19 |
| Fryguy-- | heyan: not sure then, sorry | 04:19 |
| smolloy | crimsun: Is that /home/smolloy/.kde/share/apps/amarok/xine-config ?? | 04:19 |
| Silcon_Rat | I have a small problem if someone could help me please | 04:19 |
| ganjaman | fryguy: a independent core, and a huge l3 | 04:19 |
| Fryguy-- | !ask | SiliconViper | 04:19 |
| ubottu | SiliconViper: 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. :-) | 04:19 |
| heyan | what not sure? | 04:19 |
| Fryguy-- | ganjaman: = not hyperthreading | 04:20 |
| Fryguy-- | ganjaman: also != long pipeline | 04:20 |
| ganjaman | ahm | 04:20 |
| Fryguy-- | heyan: i don't know how to help you | 04:20 |
| crimsun | smolloy: I believe so; I don't have that directory locally. | 04:20 |
| Fryguy-- | ganjaman: did you just read a blog post somewhere? or do you actually understand chip design and cpu architecture? | 04:20 |
| Fryguy-- | ganjaman: just curious | 04:20 |
| mallinj | noob question: how do I browse available Wifi networks? I tried Wifi Radar.. no luck. | 04:21 |
| Fryguy-- | mallinj: click on the network icon on the top right of your screen | 04:21 |
| heyan | hi, could anybody help me on "black screen" problem? | 04:21 |
| smolloy | crimsun: http://paste.ubuntu.com/25337/ | 04:21 |
| mallinj | Fryguy--: doesn't list available networks. | 04:21 |
| Silcon_Rat | When my system starts up on the bootup logo the resolution is not supported it says on my monitor please switch to 1280*1024-60Htz i have gone into the menu.lst and added vga=794 but still it comes up with the same thing I am wondering if its something to do with the refresh rate. It also does the same when I shutdown any help would be great thanks! | 04:21 |
| rand0m | hrm.. i can't get my background set in fluxbox on ubuntu ? | 04:21 |
| nibsa1242b | nickrud tomd123: well it sorta works... if I try to open up another vid (for example YouTube) in a tab, FF crashes, or I only get audio and no video... but its better then nothing | 04:22 |
| sir_phobos | i just built a new system. tried to install ubuntu with the 32-bit desktop live cd. when i try to run the disk check, install, or boot with the live cd i get a repeating error. something like [numbers] buffer i/o error on device fd0... i also have some older versions of GParted and I was trying to partition with those. they load the menu but after i selected language and keyboard, it would return something like: !!! Invalid loop location: /gparted.dat..... | 04:22 |
| unop | rand0m, sure, use fbsetbg | 04:22 |
| Silcon_Rat | I should point out that Gnome displays the correct resolution fine | 04:22 |
| ganjaman | yeha but nehalem makes use of some core architecture | 04:22 |
| crimsun | smolloy: ok, looks good. Your symptoms are not consistent with known PulseAudio issues but rather an ALSA bug. | 04:22 |
| Leefmc | Question: Is it possible to have Terminal highlight messages by type? Especially, "my" commands, etc? | 04:22 |
| orbisvicis_ | unop, dbus-launch will create .dbus | 04:22 |
| smolloy | crimsun: A known ALSA bug? (...hoping...) | 04:22 |
| ganjaman | 6 cores and 12 threads or something | 04:22 |
| the_fafa | sir_phobos, what are you doing with fd0? | 04:23 |
| crimsun | smolloy: yes, particularly on newer HDA codecs | 04:23 |
| shyal | anyone know the solution to the tiny font problem in google earth for hardy? | 04:23 |
| Fryguy-- | mallinj: then your wireless card isn't configured correctly | 04:23 |
| rand0m | unop: i did.. i said fbsetbg -f /myuser/mydir/mypic.jpg | 04:23 |
| rand0m | in the startup thing | 04:23 |
| smolloy | crimsun: Sorry, what do you mean by "HDA codecs"? | 04:23 |
| sir_phobos | the_fafa: nothing. i am just running the ubuntu install cd and get that error when i try to install or check the disk for errors | 04:23 |
| Fryguy-- | rand0m: use feh | 04:23 |
| unop | orbisvicis, interesting -- wonder why your directory isn't created on logon tho because dbus-launch is used somewhere in the gnome startup process | 04:23 |
| unop | rand0m, sudo apt-get install feh && fbsetbg -f /myuser/mydir/mypic.jpg | 04:24 |
| nikonadictk | alright unop I installed the last command without error | 04:24 |
| nikonadictk | now should I try mysql -u root -p pass | 04:24 |
| shyam_k | though the ubuntu partition is deleted and merged with vista,in a dual boot system,a live cd shows the ubuntu partition and views its files.But partition list at the manual partitioning stage wont show ubuntu partition but the merged bigger partition of vista instead.. what can be done atleast to boot to vista for once without the vista cd..?would grub-install /dev/hda work? | 04:24 |
| unop | nikonadictk, ok, one last one to make sure | 04:24 |
| crimsun | smolloy: if you have a newer computer, you likely have an implementation of Intel's High Def Audio spec | 04:24 |
| shyal | hi anyone here use google earth on hardy? | 04:24 |
| the_fafa | sir_phobos, what install cd, and did you verify the iso before you burnt it to cd? | 04:24 |
| smolloy | crimsun: Have you a link to a bug report, or somewhere with a work-around? | 04:24 |
| unop | nikonadictk, sudo aptitude reinstall mysql-server-5.0 mysql-client mysql-common | 04:24 |
| Fryguy-- | shyal: put vista disc in, and use fixmbr | 04:24 |
| mallinj | Fryguy--: Well, I reinstalled Umbuntu thinking that would solve the prob.. everything works fine except for Wifi. Maybe the Atheros drivers don't work for my card? (Sony VAIO) | 04:24 |
| smolloy | crimsun: By the way, I really appreciate you helping me like this. Cheers! | 04:24 |
| nikonadictk | gotchya unop | 04:25 |
| Fryguy-- | mallinj: they probably do, you just might need to take some extra steps to install them | 04:25 |
| shyal | vista disk? woot? | 04:25 |
| Fryguy-- | !ndiswrapper | mallinj (maybe) | 04:25 |
| ubottu | mallinj (maybe): Wireless documentation can be found at https://help.ubuntu.com/community/WifiDocs | 04:25 |
| shyam_k | means would grub-install /dev/hda work if the system only have vista parition in it and a deleted merged parition of ubuntu? | 04:25 |
| unop | nikonadictk, and cross your fingers and try logging on to mysql | 04:25 |
| sir_phobos | ubuntu 32-bit desktop live cd, ubuntu studio 32-bit alternate.... neither work and have on other systems i have tried | 04:25 |
| nikonadictk | unop through waht method.... the command or phpmyadmin | 04:25 |
| shyam_k | Fryguy--: unfortunately he dont have a vista cd:( | 04:25 |
| crimsun | smolloy: it really depends on your HDA hardware. `lspci -nv|grep -A1 040[13]' | 04:25 |
| Fryguy-- | sir_phobos: try safe graphics mode or the alternate install cd | 04:26 |
| Fryguy-- | shyam_k: out of luck then | 04:26 |
| unop | nikonadictk, try the command line first to verify mysql works -- then phpmyadmin | 04:26 |
| timandtom | How do I change how often fsck runs? I've got a 60GB SCSI drive, it currently runs every 37 boots, which actually happens rather fast | 04:26 |
| nikonadictk | k | 04:26 |
| shyam_k | Fryguy--: was looking for any hack with ubuntu live cd.. | 04:26 |
| shyal | Fryguy: you need a vista cd to fix ge on ubuntu?? | 04:26 |
| Silcon_Rat | how often do you wait before you re-post your question i know the are a lot of people before me :) just so i dont get forgotten | 04:26 |
| unop | timandtom, use the tune2fs command -- see its manpage on how to | 04:26 |
| Fryguy-- | shyal: no, he's asking how to get vista to boot after getting rid of ubuntu from what i understand | 04:26 |
| sir_phobos | Fryguy--: i have an alternate install cd that worked on other systems and doesn't on this system | 04:26 |
| smolloy | crimsun: http://paste.ubuntu.com/25339/ | 04:27 |
| smolloy | crimsun: Short paste! | 04:27 |
| Fryguy-- | !work | sir_phobos | 04:27 |
| ubottu | sir_phobos: Doesn't work is a strong statement. Does it sit on the couch all day? Does it want more money? Is it on IRC all the time? Please be specific! Examples of what doesn't work tend to help too. | 04:27 |
| unop | timandtom, if you use something other than extX .. then consult the relvant documentation for that particular filesystem | 04:27 |
| DistroJockey | sir_phobos, sounds like your cd/dvd drive is a bit broken | 04:27 |
| shyam_k | Fryguy--: shyal the problem seems that the grub requires files from an earlier ubuntu /boot | 04:27 |
| nikonadictk | nope... unop still not working.. I try to log into mysql -u root -p with my password and it does not work still access denied.... :( can you help me some more??? | 04:27 |
| shyam_k | right? | 04:27 |
| shyal | ah sorry, didn't realise you were writing to someone else (its late and my eyes are killing) | 04:27 |
| sir_phobos | DistroJockey: i think it has something to do with it being SATA | 04:27 |
| Fryguy-- | shyal: grub needs linux installed somewhere to work | 04:27 |
| shyam_k | yeah | 04:27 |
| DistroJockey | sir_phobos, ahh, yes, possibly | 04:28 |
| timandtom | unop: I use ext3. So I just do # -c 50(or whatever I need) -U something? What do I put for the something? | 04:28 |
| Silcon_Rat | When my system starts up on the bootup logo the resolution is not supported it says on my monitor please switch to 1280*1024-60Htz i have gone into the menu.lst and added vga=794 but still it comes up with the same thing I am wondering if its something to do with the refresh rate. It also does the same when I shutdown any help would be great thanks! | 04:28 |
| the_fafa | sir_phobos, try the alternate or another disk like kubuntu to install ubuntu. do you even have a floppy drive? | 04:28 |
| unop | nikonadictk, unless you were asked for a password during the install the default password ought to be blank, did you try a blank one? | 04:28 |
| sir_phobos | the_fafa: no i don't have a floppy drive | 04:28 |
| shyam_k | Fryguy--: but can the vista parition be splitted without loosing its data while installing a new ubuntu? | 04:28 |
| nikonadictk | so I should type in mysql -u root | 04:28 |
| Fryguy-- | shyam_k: yes | 04:29 |
| shyam_k | wow how? | 04:29 |
| Fryguy-- | shyam_k: you should always make a backup though | 04:29 |
| Fryguy-- | shyam_k: the ubuntu installer will resize it for you | 04:29 |
| ganjaman | i am cornholio | 04:29 |
| nikonadictk | unop just that plain command | 04:29 |
| Fryguy-- | shyam_k: or use a gparted livecd if you want | 04:29 |
| ganjaman | i need tp for my bunghole | 04:29 |
| unop | timandtom, i'm not a big fan of extX, so i dont use it -- but i am guessing that this is how it goes. sudo tune2fs -c 50 /dev/blah # after making sure /dev/blah is unmounted | 04:29 |
| Fryguy-- | shyam_k: or go grab some 3rd party software like partitionmagic | 04:29 |
| unop | nikonadictk, yep | 04:29 |
| shyam_k | Fryguy--: but with gparted,can we safely split it first? | 04:30 |
| Fryguy-- | shyam_k: yes | 04:30 |
| kyncani | Silcon_Rat: how about booting without bootsplash ?? | 04:30 |
| nikonadictk | ya I am getting an access denied... is there a config file I can edit or something | 04:30 |
| timandtom | unop: Ah, damn. I can't unmount my only drive, correct? | 04:30 |
| shyam_k | Fryguy--: thats more than enough..ill check the docs.. | 04:30 |
| Silcon_Rat | yeah i thought about that kyncani but i would rather have it to be honset i like the cool graphics | 04:30 |
| Silcon_Rat | lol | 04:30 |
| Silcon_Rat | its sad i know but i like it | 04:30 |
| nikonadictk | nikonadict I think I had messed with the tables for the Mysql database... is there a chance those werent wiped out completly during the reinstall and are affecting my login password?? | 04:30 |
| Silcon_Rat | plus i would like to learn how to fix things | 04:30 |
| nikonadictk | unop ** | 04:30 |
| Fryguy-- | timandtom: right, you can boot another operating system and do it though (livecd or whatever) | 04:30 |
| Fryguy-- | nikonadictk: they probably weren't wiped out at all | 04:31 |
| unop | timandtom, well you can, but not recommended - also you can complete this tune2fs command while still being live but that isn't recommended either | 04:31 |
| kyncani | Silcon_Rat: ;) well, trying the different vga modes would be a good idea i guess | 04:31 |
| Silcon_Rat | yeah i did that | 04:31 |
| unop | timandtom, best to do this offline | 04:31 |
| Silcon_Rat | but i have a feeling it might be | 04:31 |
| crimsun | smolloy: I presume your modinfo says you're using 6stack-dig ? | 04:31 |
| Silcon_Rat | something to do with the refresh rate | 04:31 |
| crimsun | smolloy: sorry, modprobe -c, not modinfo | 04:31 |
| twiztidmind | what the command to check the owner of a file i installed vmware and it's telling me permission denied when i try to run it | 04:31 |
| Silcon_Rat | any idea what command it is to run it at 60Hrtz | 04:31 |
| timandtom | Fryguy--, unop, Ah, dang. Not worth the effort :) Thanks though. | 04:32 |
| esac | i have a raw unformatted partition i want to use with vmware. vmware complains that it does not have access to it. how do i give access to /dev/sda4 ? | 04:32 |
| Fryguy-- | twiztidmind: ls -l | 04:32 |
| kyncani | Silcon_Rat: nope ... :/ -> i'm already out ;) | 04:32 |
| Fryguy-- | esac: #vmware | 04:32 |
| unop | nikonadictk, try this. sudo dpkg-reconfigure -plow mysql-{server,client,common} mysql-{server,client}-5.0 | 04:32 |
| the_fafa | sir_phobos, i found a similar problem in launchpad. several acer and dell did not work with the live cd. go for the alternate cd and install in text mode. it should work if its the same problem. | 04:32 |
| esac | Fryguy--: my question is a generic one | 04:32 |
| Fryguy-- | esac: no, your question is about vmware | 04:32 |
| Silcon_Rat | thanks for trying kyncani anyway :) | 04:32 |
| esac | fine | 04:32 |
| Fryguy-- | esac: and it's certainly not about ubuntu | 04:32 |
| smolloy | crimsun: I grepped for 6stack in modprobe -c, and got nothing | 04:33 |
| esac | how do i gave user 'rayben' access to sda4 ? | 04:33 |
| Fryguy-- | esac: as an aside, try specifying a mount point rather than the raw device | 04:33 |
| nikonadictk | unop it says dpkg-reconfigure: mysql-server is not installed | 04:33 |
| unop | timandtom, if you really have to -- use that tune2fs command | 04:33 |
| unop | nikonadictk, does it keep going? or does it halt there? | 04:33 |
| twiztidmind | ok vmware is owned by root when i sudo it it says command not found, this doesnt make sence | 04:33 |
| Fryguy-- | esac: chown, chgrp, and/or chmod can do that. This is almost certainly not what you want to do, however | 04:33 |
| nikonadictk | it stops and brings me backt o command line unop | 04:33 |
| Fryguy-- | twiztidmind: ? | 04:33 |
| unop | nikonadictk, try this. sudo dpkg-reconfigure -plow mysql-{client,common} mysql-{server,client}-5.0 | 04:33 |
| sir_phobos | the_fafa: my dvd drive is samsung. in bios it says TSSROCK or something. i will try a few alternate cds and see what happens. thanks. (i'll probably be back though) | 04:34 |
| crimsun | smolloy: ok. If you encounter problems still, try using position_fix=3 single_cmd=1 | 04:34 |
| spanther | heya there does somebody know how to check CPU temperature ? | 04:34 |
| Fryguy-- | spanther: lm-sensors | 04:34 |
| nikonadictk | unop now it seems to be going through the last command you sent me | 04:34 |
| crimsun | smolloy: i.e., echo options snd-hda-intel position_fix=3 single_cmd=1|sudo tee -a /etc/modprobe.d/alsa-base | 04:34 |
| Fryguy-- | twiztidmind: what are you trying to do | 04:34 |
| nikonadictk | oooh unop ITS ASKING ME FOR A NEW MYSQL PASSWORD!!!! | 04:34 |
| the_fafa | sir_phobos, good luck. tell the guys if its not working.. the bug is #97306 | 04:34 |
| spanther | Fryguy--: thank you :) | 04:34 |
| unop | nikonadictk, heh | 04:34 |

| mallinj | fryguy--: I installed the NDISwrapper with my windows driver for the wireless card... still doesn't show me wireless networks.. | 04:35 |
| unop | :) | 04:35 |
| Fryguy-- | mallinj: i have no idea | 04:35 |
| spanther | Fryguy--: have installed it but how to start? | 04:35 |
| spanther | Fryguy--: is there a GUI frontend? | 04:35 |
| nikonadictk | heh thnx man for all of this... lets see if this works once it finishes starting the scripts.. | 04:35 |
| Fryguy-- | spanther: type sensors-detect | 04:35 |
| smolloy | crimsun: what do those settings mean? | 04:35 |
| twiztidmind | im just trying to get VMware to run | 04:35 |
| nikonadictk | unop just finished should I try the command we were trying before | 04:35 |
| unop | nikonadictk, nope, just try and connect to mysql | 04:36 |
| Fryguy-- | spanther: conky gdesklets, screenlets all have front-ends to it i think, and there's a gnome-panel app for it as well i think | 04:36 |
| Fryguy-- | twiztidmind: well, where is the vmware binary located? | 04:36 |
| nikonadictk | unop using the command: mysql -u root ??? I usually connect through PHP myadmin I don't know the terminal command | 04:36 |
| spanther | Fryguy--: which gnome panel app :D | 04:36 |
| crimsun | smolloy: I need to run, but you can find descriptions in modinfo snd-hda-intel|grep ^parm | 04:36 |
| Fryguy-- | spanther: no idea | 04:36 |
| spanther | aww :( | 04:36 |
| unop | nikonadictk, try that | 04:36 |
| Fryguy-- | spanther: i don't use gnome | 04:36 |
| twiztidmind | i installed everything into default directiries | 04:36 |
| nikonadictk | unop phpmyadmin works | 04:36 |
| unop | nikonadictk, nice | 04:37 |

| azn_emo_boi101 | I had Ubuntu installed, then installed Linux Mint. How do I get GRUB to use Ubuntu's boot.lst file now? | 04:43 |
| marvin__ | ok thanks unop, i'll try it | 04:43 |
| Fryguy-- | azn_emo_boi101: copy the menu.list file from ubuntu over to mints /boot/grub directory | 04:43 |
| unop | marvin__, to run it on multiple files in a directory. for i in *.mp3; do perl /path/to/script "$i"; done | 04:43 |

| azn_emo_boi101 | I need to install Ubuntu 8.04. | 04:45 |
| azn_emo_boi101 | Can I update from CD? | 04:45 |
| Fryguy-- | azn_emo_boi101: yes | 04:45 |
| azn_emo_boi101 | Will that default it? | 04:45 |
| Fryguy-- | azn_emo_boi101: or you can just use update manager | 04:45 |
| bullgard4 | azn_emo_boi101: Yes. | 04:45 |
| fok|zz | Fryguy : i got ubuntu installed - i cant get sound for quake 3 or inside web broswers like youtube.com | 04:45 |

| unop | marvin__, Fryguy--, that command's going to run the script on every file (not just mp3s) -- i suggest making it explicit with -iname "*.mp3" | 04:46 |
| Fryguy-- | fok|zz: why are you asking me | 04:46 |
| WiltonStone | if somebody could help me get the ati driver to work with ubuntu, i would be most grateful | 04:46 |
| azn_emo_boi101 | Will update manager use the CD? | 04:46 |
| Fryguy-- | fok|zz: try alsa-oss i guess, i have no idea | 04:46 |
| Rhorse | tripps, do you have medibuntu installed? | 04:46 |
| bullgard4 | azn_emo_boi101: Usually not. | 04:46 |
| marvin__ | unop, when you say -iname, what would the command be like? | 04:46 |
| WiltonStone | i dont even know where to start | 04:46 |
| Fryguy-- | !ati | WiltonStone | 04:46 |
| ubottu | WiltonStone: For Ati/NVidia/Matrox video cards, see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/BinaryDriverHowto | 04:46 |
| azn_emo_boi101 | Howcan I make it? | 04:46 |
| shyam_k | Fryguy--: just the normal resize buttons seen on gparted should resize the parition without loosing the data on an ntfs partition too right?that way he can get a new partition from his vista data partition right? i didnt think its soo easy now in ubuntu:) | 04:46 |
| WiltonStone | !ati | 04:46 |
| AmritP | hello all | 04:47 |
| Fryguy-- | shyam_k: yes | 04:47 |
| shyam_k | great! | 04:47 |
| fok|zz | any one ? - i cant get sound for quake 3 or inside web broswers like youtube.com | 04:47 |
| unop | marvin__, find /path/to/dir -iname "*.mp3" -type f -exec perl /path/to/script '{}' \; | 04:47 |
| bullgard4 | azn_emo_boi101: But you can make it to do so. There is an option for doing so. But this is not the default way. | 04:47 |
| Fryguy-- | fok|zz: like i suggested, use alsa-oss | 04:47 |
| AmritP | I have made a few changes to the login file under /etc/pam.d/ and the the changes are taking no effect... | 04:47 |
| marvin__ | ok, thank you i'll try that | 04:47 |

| WiltonStone | thanks fryguy | 04:48 |

| AmritP | is there any way to get rid of it? | 04:48 |
| Rhorse | fok|zz, did you install medibuntu yet? | 04:48 |
| azn_emo_boi101 | How do I make update manager use a CD? | 04:49 |
| tripps | !medibuntu | 04:49 |
| ubottu | medibuntu is a repository of packages that cannot be included into the Ubuntu distribution for legal reasons - See http://www.medibuntu.org | 04:49 |
| Fryguy-- | fok|zz: for firefox, create a file in /etc/firefox-3/ called firefoxrc, add the line FIREFOX_DSP=aoss, and then sudo apt-get install alsa-oss | 04:49 |
| WiltonStone | what is the restricted-manager? | 04:49 |
| Guiri | Can someone tell me how to execute sc_serv? I downloaded the shoutcast server but when I type ./sc_serv it says No such file or directory | 04:49 |
| Guiri | but cleraly it's there | 04:49 |
| Fryguy-- | azn_emo_boi101: add it to your sources.lst, either manually or through synaptic | 04:49 |
| Guiri | has anyone experiences this error before? | 04:49 |
| azn_emo_boi101 | fryguy: How do I do that? | 04:49 |
| Fryguy-- | WiltonStone: it's a set of drivers that can be included in a base install either for legal or philisophical reasons | 04:50 |
| AmritP | so.... anyone? | 04:50 |
| Fryguy-- | azn_emo_boi101: use the synaptic gui and edit your available sources | 04:50 |
| azn_emo_boi101 | Okay. | 04:50 |
| AmritP | i just need to get rid of that mail status thing right after loging in | 04:50 |
| azn_emo_boi101 | Thanks. | 04:50 |
| tripps | Rhorse, I don't think I have it installed, though I do have skype medi packages for example. | 04:50 |
| azn_emo_boi101 | Fryguy: If I do that, will it change GRUB to use Ubuntu? | 04:50 |
| WiltonStone | "Enable accelerated the accelerated ATI graphics driver in the restricted-manager" - how do i do that | 04:50 |
| Fryguy-- | azn_emo_boi101: no | 04:50 |
| Guiri | anyone on the executive problem above? | 04:50 |
| Rhorse | fok|zz, https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Medibuntu | 04:51 |
| Fryguy-- | WiltonStone: the restricted drivers menu is in the s ystem menu | 04:51 |
| WiltonStone | oh ok | 04:51 |
| WiltonStone | thx | 04:51 |
| DistroJockey | Guiri, does it show when you type the following?: ls -al | 04:51 |
| the_fafa | Guiri, chmod u+x ? | 04:51 |
| azn_emo_boi101 | FryGuy: So, you said I just copy the menu file? | 04:51 |
| Fryguy-- | azn_emo_boi101: if you want to use the menu.lst from ubuntu, yes | 04:52 |
| Guiri | -rwxr-xr-x owned by me | 04:52 |
| Guiri | for sc_serv | 04:52 |
| azn_emo_boi101 | Fryguy: How can I make it not use LinuxMint's at all? | 04:52 |
| AmritP | Guiri: chmod 777 sv_serv | 04:52 |
| Guiri | the_fafa: tried it. still get that error which is odd | 04:52 |
| shelbyscates | hey guys :) can someone help me with xmodmap? i have my ~/.Xmodmap file with the string i want "keycoode 123 =" but i dont know what tp put after '=' :( i tried putting a bunch of stuff but it always gives me errors when i do 'xmodmap ~/.xmodmap' | 04:52 |
| orbisvicis_ | unop, what are your permissions on ~/.gvfs | 04:52 |
| Fryguy-- | azn_emo_boi101: reinstall grub and tell it to use your ubuntu partition instead | 04:52 |
| azn_emo_boi101 | Is it hard to reinstall grub? | 04:53 |
| shelbyscates | what do i put after = to make it do stuff? | 04:53 |
| kyncani | Guiri: you do know about icecast, which is an audio streaming server ? | 04:53 |
| kyncani | Guiri: (and is already packages into ubuntu) | 04:53 |
| Guiri | kyncani: yes. Shoutcast is easier to mirror for me but thank you | 04:53 |
| Fryguy-- | shelbyscates: man xmodmap | 04:53 |
| Fryguy-- | shelbyscates: should give you plenty of usage information | 04:53 |
| Guiri | kyncani: it's executable in my os x terminal when I downloaded it to mac oddly enough | 04:53 |
| unop | orbisvicis_, stat -c "%a" /home/user/.gvfs/ 700 | 04:53 |
| shelbyscates | Fryguy--: it didnt really explain what to put after=.. :( | 04:53 |
| Guiri | but when I tar -xvf the file | 04:53 |
| azn_emo_boi101 | Thanks everyone. | 04:54 |
| AmritP | anyways.... can /anyone/ help me? | 04:54 |
| Guiri | it doesn't do anything.. | 04:54 |
| bloodrock | azn_emo_boi101, get a iso called supergrub it can fix grub and windows boot loaders | 04:54 |
| shelbyscates | asking here is always a last resort, trust me ;) | 04:54 |
| the_fafa | Guiri, did you specify sv_serv? what does ls -l say now? | 04:54 |
| AmritP | Guiri: chmod 777 it, then execute it | 04:54 |
| orbisvicis_ | unop, odd mines 600 | 04:54 |
| Guiri | AmritP: thanks. i tried that. same thing.. | 04:54 |
| orbisvicis_ | unop, thanks | 04:54 |
| Guiri | rwxrwxrwx | 04:54 |
| Guiri | the_fafa: | 04:54 |
| unop | orbisvicis_, doesn;t make a real difference tho | 04:55 |
| Guiri | bash: ./sc_serv: No such file or directory | 04:55 |
| Guiri | but it's right there | 04:55 |
| bullgard4 | What command will give me information about my loadable Linux driver module 'sd_mod'? | 04:55 |
| unop | orbisvicis_, also, it might make a difference because i did build by hand a lot of the gnome desktop | 04:55 |
| shyam_k | Fryguy--: thanks and thanks all.. bye | 04:55 |
| shelbyscates | i suppose nobody knows what to put afterwards :( | 04:56 |
| DistroJockey | bullgard4, lsmod maybe? | 04:56 |
| sweetgu1 | can somebody help me create a file? | 04:56 |
| Fryguy-- | sweetgu1: use touch | 04:56 |
| unop | bullgard4, modinfo | 04:56 |
| sweetgu1 | fryguy--: what do you mean | 04:56 |
| Guiri | hmm | 04:56 |
| hlfshell | what file sweet? | 04:56 |
| unop | bullgard4, sudo modinfo sd_mod | 04:56 |
| orbisvicis_ | unop, thats good to keep in mind ; ) | 04:56 |
| Fryguy-- | sweetgu1: type 'touch <name of file here>" | 04:56 |
| bullgard4 | DistroJockey: Your answer is wrong. lsmod will only list the names of modules loaded and their dependencies. | 04:57 |
| Guiri | the_fafa: perhaps because I'm on a 64bit machine? | 04:57 |
| Guiri | do I need to enable 32bit compabilitilty? | 04:57 |
| === kat is now known as Guest40945 | ||

| DistroJockey | bullgard4, I realize that now, Thanks! | 04:57 |
| bullgard4 | unop: Thank you for your help. | 04:57 |

| Fryguy-- | Guiri: you don't | 04:57 |
| XYZ | oh well | 04:57 |
| sweetgu1 | hlfshell: im trying to compile nautilus, and it needs eel-2.23.2 | 04:57 |
| XYZ | thanks guys | 04:57 |
| Fryguy-- | sweetgu1: why are you compiling nautilus | 04:57 |
| sweetgu1 | Fryguy--: in terminal? | 04:57 |
| sweetgu1 | Fryguy--: I can't figure out how to activate the treeview on the left side, any ideas? | 04:58 |
| the_fafa | Guiri, is it a binary or a interpreted script? | 04:58 |
| Guiri | the_fafa: I think a script | 04:58 |
| Fryguy-- | sweetgu1: should be in the edit or view menus | 04:58 |
| Guiri | when I try to type in sc_serv it doesn't do anything.. it's like it isn't executable or something | 04:58 |
| sweetgu1 | Fryguy--: where specifically? | 04:59 |
| the_fafa | Guiri, what does head ./sc_serv look like? | 04:59 |
| Guiri | ELF$4?4 (444???????????7?`t | 04:59 |
| Guiri | tt??((( Q?td/lib/ld-linux.so.2GNUCDA1?C(3*#@ | 04:59 |
| Guiri | . | 04:59 |
| Fryguy-- | sweetgu1: no idea, i don't use nautilus | 04:59 |
| Guiri | and quite a bit of junk | 04:59 |
| the_fafa | Guiri, quite binary :) elf | 05:00 |
| Guiri | the_fafa: what? | 05:00 |
| sweetgu1 | Guiri: Masterbation helps | 05:00 |
| sweetgu1 | Fryguy--: What do you mean? | 05:00 |
| XYZ | nobody knows what to put after =? that sux D: im sorry im annoyingly impatient, but id at least appreciate someone saying "no, piss off" rather than waste my time staring at the screen in the event someone does tell me :\ | 05:00 |
| Fryguy-- | sweetgu1: i mean, i have no idea, i don't use nautilus | 05:00 |
| sweetgu1 | Fryguy--: I'm saying what is it you use | 05:01 |
| Guiri | the_fafa: can I run it still? | 05:01 |
| bloodrock | xyz put =? after what | 05:01 |
| Fryguy-- | sweetgu1: windows explorer | 05:01 |
| === CO_VIRUS is now known as co_fa | ||
| the_fafa | Guiri, it is a compiled file and its no script. when its set executable it should run.. as long as its compiled for your 64bit system. | 05:01 |
| unop | sweetgu1, to enable treeview in the sidepane -- enable the sidepane (view -> sidepane) and select the drop-downlist in the sidepane and choose tree :) | 05:01 |
| XYZ | bloodrock: i have my ~/.Xmodmap file with the string i want "keycoode 123 =" but i dont know what tp put after '=' :( i tried putting a bunch of stuff but it always gives me errors when i do 'xmodmap ~/.xmodmap' | 05:02 |
| sweetgu1 | unop: ooh thankyou :) | 05:02 |
| Guiri | the_fafa: so even if I chmod +x it doesn't do anything, which means it's compiled for the 32bit? | 05:02 |
| === Shadow_X is now known as Shadow_X-zZzZz | ||
| XYZ | oh well, just checking, thanks guys :) | 05:03 |
| bloodrock | xyz so the keycode is going to be 123 | 05:03 |
| XYZ | ah | 05:04 |
| XYZ | bloodrock: yes, its actually 178, i was using 123 as an example :) | 05:04 |
| chalcedony | After this operation, 1298kB disk space will be freed. Hardy 8.4 . why? | 05:04 |
| bloodrock | xyz why the = after 123 maybe you don't need the = | 05:05 |
| Fryguy-- | chalcedony: are you removing packages | 05:05 |
| earlmred | chalcedony: because there's less space being used. | 05:05 |
| chalcedony | Fryguy--: no update /upgrade | 05:05 |
| chalcedony | earlmred: that was my guess | 05:05 |
| earlmred | chalcedony: a whole 1MB less will be used. | 05:05 |
| Guiri | mm seems hopeless | 05:05 |
| Fryguy-- | chalcedony: probably removing some unnecessary stuff | 05:05 |
| XYZ | uhm... i followed some tutorials that got me to that point,.. they just didnt show me what tp put after = so what when i press the key it does what i want :\ | 05:05 |
| DistroJockey | XYZ, maybe instead of i want "keycoode 123 =" you could spell keycode right? | 05:05 |
| XYZ | DistroJockey: lmao XD | 05:06 |
| XYZ | good point.. XD | 05:06 |
| DistroJockey | :) | 05:06 |
| chalcedony | :) | 05:06 |
| bullgard4 | unop: '~$ lsmod | grep sd' lists only 'sd_mod' (and one module dependent on it). '~$ sudo modinfo sdmod | grep description' reports: " SCSI disk driver (sd) driver."

| unop | bullgard4, it does appear to be so , i'd say yes | 05:08 |
| bullgard4 | unop: What are "bus_type methods"? | 05:08 |

| JeffFromOhio | fok|zz: I think I can help with the quake 3 thing - quake 3 and games made with it use the old "Open Sound System". Ubuntu uses ALSA. There is a way to enable OSS emulation on ALSA | 05:20 |
| Fryguy-- | fok|zz: considering you didn't acknowledge my directions at all, and come back here spamming the same exact question over and over again, what am I expected to believe | 05:20 |
| Fryguy-- | fok|zz: are you using 8.04 | 05:20 |
| unop | tehquickness, pmount does not require sudo .. but anyway. pmount-hal /dev/sdb | 05:20 |
| JeffFromOhio | But I can't remember what it is at the moment - still if you search for "enable OSS on ALSA" I bet you can find something | 05:20 |
| DistroJockey | JeffFromOhio, in a terminal: md5sum nameof.iso | 05:21 |
| unop | !md5 | JeffFromOhio | 05:21 |

| JeffFromOhio | DistroJockey - yeah, but I need a 'known good' md5sum to compare it to | 05:21 |
| tehquickness | unop: Well in the case pmount-hal /dev/sdb returns, Error: could not execute pmount | 05:21 |
| Fryguy-- | tehquickness: try my directions | 05:21 |
| tehquickness | Fryguy--: it says the device does not exist | 05:22 |

| earlmred | eh, i'm too lazy to scroll. | 05:24 |

| Fryguy-- | KenzoIX: ext3 or reiserfs | 05:25 |
| pgreptom | KenzoIX: I'd go EXT3. | 05:26 |
| earlmred | tehquickness: and you're trying to mount /dev/sdb ? | 05:26 |
| Fryguy-- | earlmred: his hard drive is probably da broked | 05:26 |

| KenzoIX | ok... then I guess I'll go ext3, thanks :D | 05:26 |

| naynay | Hi everyone, i reinstalled ubuntu on my machine today, during the install i messed up and erased the entire harddrive, insted of leaving the small fat32 partition for my XP MBR, is there anyway to set grub to boot it, or am I going to need to repartition, and use a recovery console to reinstall the windows mbr? | 05:26 |
| earlmred | tehquickness: try rebuilding the partition table. | 05:26 |
| unop | tehquickness, unless there is some output that is missing here | 05:26 |
| earlmred | naynay: yes, grub can boot xp. | 05:27 |
| earlmred | naynay: should be the first result on google for "boot windows from grub" | 05:27 |
| tehquickness | earlmred: How do you rebuild a partition table?? No data missing | 05:27 |
| earlmred | tehquickness: what do you mean, no data missing? | 05:27 |
| unop | "without losing data" i'll assume | 05:27 |
| tehquickness | earlmred: oops, sorry. That part was for unop | 05:28 |
| naynay | earlmred: okay, i looked some but the solultion i found gave me a grub error somethign about invalid executable type, but i'll look again, i probably messed it up | 05:28 |
| earlmred | tehquickness: do you have data on that drive you need? | 05:28 |
| === Starnestommy is now known as sheep | ||
| tehquickness | hmmmm i would like to keep it if I can | 05:28 |
| Fryguy-- | naynay: if you erased the entire hard drive, where is windows | 05:28 |
| earlmred | you don't have it backed up, i'm guessing. | 05:28 |
| tehquickness | earlmred: that was the backup. lol. I have alot of it burned to dvds, but not the most recent stuff | 05:30 |
| naynay | Fryguy--: The windows install in on a 20gb slave drive, but windows has to write a boot file (or something to that effect) to the master drive | 05:30 |
| earlmred | holy hell. | 05:30 |
| earlmred | people have 20GB drives still? | 05:30 |
| Fryguy-- | lol | 05:30 |
| Fryguy-- | naynay: so just use fixmbr, and then use grub recovery from livecd | 05:30 |
| naynay | i didn't want to use a big drive for windows, I have a very small budget | 05:31 |

| jscinoz | hi | 05:32 |
| earlmred | hi jscinoz | 05:33 |
| earlmred | how are you? | 05:33 |
| jscinoz | is the update-grub2 script in the package grub-pc supposed to actually do anything | 05:33 |
| jscinoz | good thanks earlmred | 05:33 |
| jscinoz | trying to get grub2 to work but having a few issues >_< | 05:33 |
| earlmred | jscinoz: no, they just put that script there for fun. | 05:33 |
| jscinoz | earlmred, :P but it doesnt seem to generate /boot/grub/grub.cfg (thats what i thought it did?) | 05:33 |
| Johnny | how do i get mozilla-mplayer to be able to save videos to my hard drive | 05:33 |
| Fryguy-- | jscinoz: probably menu.lst | 05:34 |
| Johnny | and how do i configure it so it will cache the whole movie 100% before playing | 05:34 |
| earlmred | jscinoz: try removing grub.cfg first, rm -rf / boot/grub/grub.cfg, and then run ./upgrade-grub2 | 05:34 |
| stemount^ | !danger | 05:34 |
| ubottu | DO NOT RUN THAT COMMAND That particular command is DANGEROUS and shouldn't be uttered here. REST OF YOU: DANGER, WILL ROBINSON, DANGER! Do not use the command or utter it here thank you! | 05:34 |
| tehquickness | unop: what do i need to do after I install it? | 05:35 |
| earlmred | jscinoz: i don't think the script does anything with the cfg file being present. | 05:35 |
| stemount^ | jscinoz: don't do that cmd | 05:35 |
| stemount^ | jscinoz: do this instead | 05:35 |
| stemount^ | [[ | 05:35 |
| stemount^ | rm -f /boot/grub/grub.cfg; update-grub2; | 05:35 |
| unop | tehquickness, errm, not quite sure, never had to use gpart -- but i would start by reading the manpage man gpart | 05:35 |
| blind1 | mm k... what about 8.04.1 ??? was scheduled for 3th of july | 05:36 |
| jscinoz | stemount^, one second, gotta go use the alternate cd rescue shell + activate lvm + chroot into system >_< | 05:36 |
| jscinoz | thats how borked it currently is lol | 05:36 |
| unop | tehquickness, out of curiosity -- how many partitions did you have on the drive? | 05:36 |
| stemount^ | jscinoz: heh | 05:36 |
| tehquickness | unop: Just one | 05:36 |
| stemount^ | jscinoz: why do you use LVM? :O | 05:36 |
| jscinoz | stemount^, its this: 4 velociraptor > software raid 0 > encryption > lvm > home/root/swap | 05:37 |
| unop | tehquickness, gimme 2 minutes - let's see what i can come up with | 05:37 |
| jscinoz | nom nom fast :P | 05:37 |
| stemount^ | heh cool jscinoz | 05:37 |
| jscinoz | thanks | 05:38 |
| Fryguy-- | lol 4 veliciraptor. sounds like a waste of hardware to me lolol | 05:38 |
| jscinoz | annoying thing is... | 05:38 |
| earlmred | why didn't you get 4 SSDs? | 05:38 |
| stemount^ | and why software raid? :) | 05:38 |
| * Fryguy-- has bets on no backup | 05:38 | |
| jscinoz | grub2 can see boot on the raid0 array (outside the encrypted lvm) and it can see the required logical volume (main-boot) but it cant figure out its filesystem (even though ext2.mod is loaded) | 05:38 |
| tehquickness | well I mean cant I just replace the partition table with fdisk? There was only 1 partition that was fat32 | 05:38 |
| jscinoz | stemount^, nvidia fakeraid is horrible | 05:38 |
| earlmred | jscinoz: you know they sell these magical pieces of hardware... | 05:39 |
| stemount^ | jscinoz: I know I bought a cheap HP server to play with and nearly cried | 05:39 |
| jscinoz | earlmred, unfortunately most SSDs arent actually living up the the speed hype. | 05:39 |
| earlmred | jscinoz: they're called RAID controllers. | 05:39 |
| blind1 | ===> 8.04.1 <=== where? :/ | 05:39 |
| DistroJockey | tehquickness, take a look at photorec and testdisk | 05:39 |
| jscinoz | earlmred, the overhead on software raid isnt huge | 05:39 |
| earlmred | jscinoz: it is with striping across 4 drives, with encryption. | 05:39 |
| tehquickness | DistroJockey: thanks | 05:39 |
| DistroJockey | tehquickness, no problem | 05:40 |
| jscinoz | earlmred, even then, its not that bad | 05:40 |
| jscinoz | hell my eeepc can handle LVM (merge the 16gb and 4gb ssd) and encryption on top of that just fine | 05:40 |
| jscinoz | and its only got a 900mhz celeron | 05:40 |
| earlmred | you must be some kind of elite hacker | 05:40 |
| jscinoz | earlmred, i'd doubt it. | 05:40 |
| unop | tehquickness, sudo gpart -vvd /dev/sdb | 05:40 |
| Fryguy-- | what exactly are you doing that is so hard drive intensive that you need 4 10k drives in raid0 and actually notice speed | 05:40 |

| noah_ | what is the super tab? | 05:58 |
| Shoopuf | Flannel, philwyett: Thanks, I will try gnochm and comix. :) Comix sounds cooler lol. | 05:59 |
| RAdams | noah_: #compiz-fusion | 05:59 |
| jscinoz | sshirley, hmm not sure >_< wish i could but im not sure where to go from here, sorry :( | 05:59 |
| RAdams | shoopuf: 90% chance gnochm will do what you want over comix | 05:59 |
| Shoopuf | My 56k modem does not have free drivers in Ubuntu (I have to pay some company for the drivers...) so does anyone recommend a good 56k modem to buy that will work in Ubuntu? | 05:59 |
| _2 | noble-: crap. it's still a problem with startkde ! even when i parse the env correctly it takes over display :0 | 05:59 |
| _2 | no. | 05:59 |
| jbroome | Shoopuf: any of the serial external ones should be fine | 06:00 |
| Shoopuf | jbroome: I was thinking internal. :P Is that bad? | 06:00 |
| jbroome | Shoopuf: google around for "hardware modem" that's the key. | 06:00 |
| RAdams | shoopuf: 3COM serial external modems. internal: 3COM PCI modems newer than 1995 | 06:00 |
| Shoopuf | OK thanks guys, one more question... | 06:00 |
| Ebiggs | Has anyone else had issues with sound in Firefox on Hardy? | 06:01 |
| Calaaro1 | Short question: How do I get to the command line in Ubuntu? :P | 06:01 |
| RAdams | ebiggs: in flash, or sound period? | 06:01 |
| sshirley | jscinoz: when a device gets recognized, what happens? | 06:01 |
| Shoopuf | Calaaro1: I usually go to Applications Menu > Accessories > Terminal | 06:01 |
| Calaaro1 | Shoopuf: Ah, thank you very much. ^_^ | 06:01 |
| Ebiggs | RAdams, Well...only flash so far but I wasn't sure where to go to test other sounds in it.. | 06:01 |
| jscinoz | sshirley, i believe it sees if it matches a udev rule and then makes the /dev/ device for it | 06:01 |
| Shoopuf | Thanks guys for the great support, very excited to become a part of this community. :) Bye. | 06:02 |
| noah_ | ok, compiz-fusion channel is dead.... | 06:02 |
| bullgard4 | [GNOME] How can I read the file file:///home/<username>/.recently-used.xbel conveniently? | 06:02 |
| RAdams | ebiggs: sudo apt-getinstall libflashsupport | 06:02 |
| Ebiggs | RAdams, Already installed that. | 06:02 |
| bbechdol | Hi eveyyone | 06:02 |
| noah_ | can anyone here explain what the super button is in compiz-fusion | 06:02 |
| RAdams | ebiggs: firefox version? Flash version? output of uname -r? | 06:02 |
| RAdams | noah_: the windows key, usually | 06:02 |
| Ryuho | usually, it means the window key | 06:02 |
| noah_ | i tried | 06:03 |
| sshirley | jscinoz: can I tell which of these /dev/video* is mapped to that camera? | 06:03 |
| Ryuho | you can change that though | 06:03 |
| noah_ | oh ok, it works | 06:03 |
| bbechdol | Has anyone used there WIIRemote on Hardy yet? | 06:03 |
| Ebiggs | RAdams, I have an audigy 4 sound card. In sound preferences I can't get sound out of pulse audio, OSS, or many others and I think that may be the problem. | 06:03 |
| Shoopuf | Is 200 MB enough for my Swap space? | 06:03 |
| Ebiggs | RAdams, Especially since libflashsupport has to do with pulseaudio... | 06:03 |
| jscinoz | sshirley, not that i know how, the best way would perhaps be to open gstreamer-properties, go to video and input, then just go through the devices until you find which one gives the camera image | 06:03 |
| bullgard4 | Hardy produces a start message: "Starting kernel event manager." This message is not reflected in dmesg. What program is 'kernel event manager'? I suppose that it is udev-related. | 06:03 |
| jscinoz | Shoopuf, how much ram is in this system? | 06:04 |
| RAdams | Shoopuf: depends. it is most likely, but not ideally. | 06:04 |
| Shoopuf | jscinoz: desktop Ubuntu 1GB ram | 06:04 |
| RAdams | bullgard4: kernel event manager, among other things, creates and begins dmesg | 06:04 |
| Ebiggs | RAdams, Firefox 3, Flash 9, 2.6.24-16-generic. 10 minute old install, haven't restarted after the initial updates. | 06:04 |
| RAdams | bullgard4: hence why you don't see it there | 06:04 |
| jscinoz | Shoopuf, generally you want swap to be double your ram (for hibernate to work) although you could probably get away with less or none (my eeepc has 1gb of ram, and no swap and doesnt seem to run into any problems) | 06:04 |
| jscinoz | but becareful on the memory usage with no swap | 06:05 |
| Shoopuf | jscinoz: Oh wow OK I will change my swap to 2 GB then... (hmmm how to do that lol) | 06:05 |
| RAdams | ebiggs: iirc, i had that problem until using the -19 kernel, but YMMV | 06:05 |
| RAdams | shoopuf: gparted | 06:05 |
| Shoopuf | Thanks again | 06:05 |
| Ebiggs | RAdams, is that one of the default updates or do I have to bother with that myself? | 06:05 |
| RAdams | Shoopuf: read man gparted after installing it; you can bork your system if you just stab at it | 06:05 |
| RAdams | Ebiggs: default update | 06:06 |
| jscinoz | Shoopuf, its not *required* but recommened. if you cannot make it bigger without extensive change to current partitions, just leave it as it is | 06:06 |
| Ebiggs | Ok. I'll reboot and see where I get. | 06:06 |
| RAdams | Ebiggs: good luck | 06:06 |
| bullgard4 | RAdams: What program does start the program 'kernel event manager'? Where can I find a description of 'kernel event manager'? I grepped my kernel Documention for 'kernel event manager' but got no hit. | 06:06 |
| rabiddachshund | Can I copy my entire disk to an external drive, format the entire thing to dual boot another OS, then copy my ubuntu install back to the original? | 06:07 |
| Ebiggs | RAdams, was that behavior of my sound preferences normal, or something that the newer kernel will straighten up? | 06:07 |
| Shoopuf | Is there a way to transfer all my Windows XP Firefox cookies/bookmarks/addons to Ubuntu? | 06:07 |
| === linux_ is now known as Guest64302 | ||
| RAdams | ebiggs: not sure. I didn't play with it enough | 06:08 |
| jscinoz | Shoopuf, the desktop installer can do that automatically i believe (it asks as the last step of install i think) | 06:08 |
| bullgard4 | Shoopuf: I believe yes, Firefox has got an import function. | 06:08 |
| Ebiggs | RAdams, no dice. | 06:08 |
| _2 | i don't get it. i can make all desktop evnironments start on successive xservers, but not kde any help here ? or do i ask elsewhere ? | 06:09 |
| Guest64302 | hi everybody i need a program so i can play vbr like real player | 06:09 |

| jmazaredo | segmentation fault | 06:10 |
| _2 | jmazaredo hmmm gksu sudo ? | 06:10 |
| RAdams | bullgard4: you were more right than I was. I was incorrect; I apologize. kernel event manager IS udev apparently. I'm reading on it now. | 06:10 |
| jmazaredo | also my xorg is down | 06:11 |
| _2 | jmazaredo ok. wht caused all this fun ? | 06:11 |
| bullgard4 | RAdams: Any more information would be appreciated. | 06:11 |
| RAdams | bullgard4: one moment... | 06:11 |
| jmazaredo | tty4 main process ended | 06:11 |
| _2 | jmazaredo ? | 06:11 |
| jmazaredo | dunno when i woke it just hanged | 06:11 |
| sshirley | jscinoz: ok, i cycled through until I found the camera at /dev/video2 | 06:11 |
| sshirley | :-) | 06:11 |
| jmazaredo | i tried restarting | 06:12 |
| jscinoz | sshirley, :) | 06:12 |
| sshirley | jscinoz: Now I need to find the built-in mic | 06:12 |
| _2 | jmazaredo restart to runlevel one | 06:12 |
| jscinoz | sshirley, >_< | 06:12 |
| jmazaredo | cant | 06:12 |
| sshirley | jscinoz: thanks, so far. :-) | 06:12 |
| jmazaredo | cant login to root | 06:12 |
| jscinoz | sshirley, camera should have its own Alsa device (hw cameraname or something) | 06:12 |
| sshirley | jscinoz: how can i find the avail. alsa devices? | 06:13 |
| RAdams | bullgard4: http://packages.ubuntu.com/hardy/udev & man udev | 06:13 |
| jmazaredo | now i can login to root | 06:13 |
| jscinoz | sshirley, amixer should list them | 06:13 |
| delfick | hello, today i'm getting some new computer hardware (new motherboard, intel core duo (currently have an AMD Athlon)) and I'm wondering will I be able to plug in my harddrive and expect ubuntu to just work on the new hardware or will I have to do anything special? | 06:13 |
| RAdams | delfick: post the output of your uname -r | 06:14 |
| _2 | jmazaredo don't have to just reset the box with ctrl+alt+del and at the grub splash/prompt press [esc] select the boot listing you start on press [e] select the kernel line press [e] at the end of the line add "single" hit [enter] het [b] | 06:14 |
| Ebiggs | RAdams, did you have any other suggestions on the sound issue? | 06:15 |
| RAdams | ebiggs: you're not getting ANY sound anywhere, correct? | 06:15 |
| sshirley | jscinoz: too many to go through at 1:30 am EST. :-) I'll look through it tomorrow. Thanks! | 06:15 |
| delfick | RAdams : 2.6.24-19-generic | 06:15 |
| Ebiggs | No, everything outside of firefox works. I'm not sure if its just flash that doesn't within that or not though. | 06:15 |
| Ebiggs | RAdams, I can hear audio on flash videos saved on my hard drive in Totem, music is fine, etc. | 06:16 |
| jmazaredo | in logs network manager,smtpd.runlevel.xorg all says segmentation fault | 06:16 |
| RAdams | delfick: should be fine, but I would be prepared to get dropped out of xorg and have to dpkg-reconfigure xserver-xorg or so | 06:18 |
| delfick | RAdams: k then, thnx :) | 06:18 |
| bullgard4 | RAdams: So is the startup message: "Starting kernel event manager" equivalent to "Starting udev"? | 06:19 |
| nelson_ | Hola!!! hay alguien de Argentina.. o q hable español¿? | 06:19 |
| RAdams | bullgard: from what I'm reading, yes | 06:19 |
| Ebiggs | RAdams, this is 64-bit Hardy, by the way. | 06:19 |
| bazhang | !es | 06:20 |
| ubottu | En la mayoría de canales Ubuntu se comunica en inglés. Para ayuda en Español, por favor entre en los canales #ubuntu-es o #kubuntu-es. | 06:20 |
| Flannel | !ar | nelson_ | 06:20 |
| ubottu | nelson_: La comunidad local de Argentina se puede encontrar en #ubuntu-ar y en su canal de offtopic: #ubuntu-ar-cafe | 06:20 |
| bullgard4 | nelson_: Aqui hablemos en Engles. | 06:20 |
| nelson_ | thanks! gracias!! | 06:20 |
| xocite | Here we speak in English heh | 06:20 |
| RAdams | ebiggs: google your soundcard and 64 bit hardy... iirc, other people had the same problem with 64 bit and audigy cards. | 06:21 |
| Blaqlight | I just rebooted my computer and now I have no more sound. | 06:22 |
| jscinoz | ok | 06:22 |
| bullgard4 | Blaqlight: !sound | 06:22 |
| bullgard4 | !sound | Blaqlight | 06:23 |
| jscinoz | If anyone can possibly help me with my grub2 problem it would be greatly appreciated. Issue is as follows: | 06:23 |
| ubottu | Blaqlight: If you're having problems with sound, first ensure ALSA is selected, by double clicking on the volume control, then File -> Change Device (ALSA Mixer). If that fails, see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Sound - https://help.ubuntu.com/community/SoundTroubleshooting - http://alsa.opensrc.org/DmixPlugin - For playing audio files, see !Players and !MP3 | 06:23 |
| Shoopuf | Is there anything bad about accessing NTSF partitions through Ubuntu? | 06:23 |
| Fryguy-- | Shoopuf: no | 06:23 |
| jscinoz | /boot is on lvm on raid0 and is formatted as ext3, core.img has the biosdisk, pc, lvm, raid, and ext2 modules. on boot, grub2 rescue shell opens, lsmod shows that the previously listed modules are all there, and ls shows the md0 device, and the logical volume where /boot is (main-boot) however ls (main-boot) returns unknown filesystem, and thus my system cannot be booted. What am i doing wrong? | 06:23 |
| RAdams | shoopuf: almost usually always no | 06:23 |
| bullgard4 | Shoopuf: No. | 06:23 |
| j3tt | somewhat off-topic, is there an appropriate channel to ask questions about the GPL? | 06:24 |
| Fryguy-- | j3tt: #linux prolly | 06:25 |
| bazhang | #ubuntu-offtopic j3tt | 06:25 |
| RAdams | j3tt: #gnu | 06:25 |
| Fryguy-- | j3tt: or #ubuntu-offtopic | 06:25 |
| j3tt | thanks guys | 06:25 |
| RAdams | get it from the source... | 06:25 |
| elkbuntu | RAdams, is probably got the closest guess | 06:25 |
| pramod | hi | 06:25 |
| Martinzz | Hi I can connect to the network but not to the internet with my 7.10 any suggestions? | 06:25 |
| RAdams | alright, night all. Ebiggs, if you don't find anything from google on audigy and 64 bit hardy, check your dmesg and post on ubuntu forums; i am almost certain that exact thing has happened before | 06:25 |
| pramod | how to run cricket in ubuntu | 06:26 |
| Fryguy-- | Martinzz: do you have entries in /etc/resolv.conf | 06:26 |
| bullgard4 | Martinzz: "Can not connect" is no exact description. | 06:26 |
| Martinzz | no I dont | 06:27 |
| Martinzz | I get permision denied then I tried sudo and nothing | 06:27 |
| Fryguy-- | Martinzz: you need to add nameservers there, of the format "nameserver x.x.x.x" where x.x.x.x is a dns ip | 06:27 |
| Fryguy-- | Martinzz: if you are using dhcp it should have been populated automatically (and suggests a problem with your dhcp server), if you are using static IP it needs to be configured manually | 06:28 |
| Sapph424 | Hi. Is there a utility that can monitor a specific program as far as what IPs/ports it makes connections to/receives connections from? | 06:28 |
| Martinzz | how can I tell if ip is static or not? | 06:28 |
| Fryguy-- | Sapph424: netstat will give you the information you need | 06:28 |
| Fryguy-- | Martinzz: did you configure an IP yourself? | 06:29 |
| Josdell | Hi everyone, I read on the Ubuntu website that you can install Hardy on a USB Flash drive or external hard drive, so what I want to know does installing GRUB on the partition Linux is installed on(sdb1) stop Grub from being installed as the bootloader for the entire computer? and if not, can I stop it from installing on the entire computer in any way? | 06:29 |
| Martinzz | yes Ive been trying | 06:29 |
| Martinzz | I installed ubuntu 7.01 but cant connect | 06:29 |
| Fryguy-- | Martinzz: so if you are configuring a static IP yourself, you are responsible for configuring the dns entries for that IP as well | 06:29 |
| Fryguy-- | !usb | Josdell | 06:30 |
| ubottu | Josdell: For information about installing Ubuntu from USB flash drives, see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Installation/FromUSBStick - For a persistent live USB install, see: https://wiki.ubuntu.com/LiveUsbPendrivePersistent | 06:30 |
| Martinzz | the ip I got it automatically | 06:30 |
| Josdell | Fryguy: I'm not trying to install Ubuntu onmy computer, I'm installing it to a Flash Drive | 06:30 |
| Fryguy-- | Josdell: so see the second link .... | 06:31 |
| Fryguy-- | Martinzz: then something is wrong with your dhcp server, and you should figure out why it's not providing you with a dns entries. in the meantime you can manually add something like "nameserver 4.2.2.2" to /etc/resolv.conf to get dns | 06:31 |
| Josdell | Fryguy: I'm not trying to do a LiveUSBPersistent Install either. I'm actually installing the real Ubuntu on a Flash drive, It's been a long ways, but I'm getting really far, I just want to know if Grub would only be installed on the USB if I installed GRUB on(Through the standard Ubuntu installer) sdb1 as compared to sdb itself. | 06:33 |
| DesiSinger | question -- ffmpeg audio and video are not insync after the conversion - audio is way ahead of the video | 06:33 |
| DesiSinger | any suggestions | 06:34 |
| Fryguy-- | Josdell: yes | 06:34 |
| Fryguy-- | DesiSinger: no idea, this isn't really a video encoding support channel | 06:34 |
| Josdell | Fryguy: Thanks for the information, are you sure it is reliable? | 06:34 |
| Fryguy-- | Josdell: no | 06:34 |
| Josdell | Fryguy: well it's worth a shot, so thanks, bye | 06:35 |
| Martinzz | I cant get this work | 06:36 |
| Martinzz | its killing | 06:36 |
| tehquickness | Should there be any reason why my battery with Vista lasts around 5-6 hours, but Ubuntu only says it is going to last me 3? | 06:36 |
| Martinzz | I give up | 06:36 |

| Fryguy-- | tehquickness: might be estimating incorrectly | 06:36 |
| Fryguy-- | Martinzz: have fun | 06:36 |
| tehquickness | gotcha | 06:36 |
| Headley_Grange_ | anyone know how to install ibuild in ubuntu hardy? | 06:37 |
| nano_ | if /var/log/messages* don't have an entry in /etc/logrotate.conf; does that mean that these collections of logs are not being rotated? | 06:39 |
| nano_ | or is there some default rotation that the files will be subjected to. | 06:40 |
| Flannel | nano_: Are they in /etc/logrotate.d/? | 06:40 |
| nano_ | Flannel, nope | 06:40 |
| nano_ | Flannel, so ur saying that files that are rotated are then placed in logrotate.d? | 06:41 |
| nano_ | Flannel, whats the difference between /etc/logrotate.d/ entries, and in /etc/logrotate.conf | 06:42 |
| Flannel | nano_: logrotate.d is included in logrotate.conf | 06:42 |
| === noah_ is now known as wiltonstone | ||
| mecha | to anyone, just wonderind how to display the motd by default when i open the terminal??? | 06:43 |
| Flannel | nano_: You'll notice inside logrotate.conf there is an include directive for /etc/logrotate.d/ | 06:43 |
| Fryguy-- | mecha: add what you want to display in your ~/.bashrc file | 06:43 |
| nano_ | Flannel, yes i see it "include /etc/logrotate.d" | 06:43 |
| wiltonstone | so what is the best p2p program for ubuntu? | 06:43 |
| Fryguy-- | wiltonstone: i like rtorrent | 06:43 |
| mecha | Fryguy, i did the sudo pico motd and edited there, what should i do? | 06:44 |
| wiltonstone | is it good for music and movies? | 06:44 |
| Fryguy-- | mecha: add what you want to display in your ~/.bashrc file | 06:44 |

| wiltonstone | thx | 06:44 |
| pingui | hi | 06:44 |
| mecha | Fryguy, how? | 06:44 |
| Fryguy-- | edit the file, add a command that display the motd | 06:45 |
| LSD|Ninja | rtorrent is good for a CLI app, it needs a couple more improvements before it can better the GUI ones though | 06:45 |
| nano_ | Flannel, im just confused because in my /var/log directory; im having a whole bunch of message.x.gz files being collected....this would imply that logrotate is acting on them....but there is no entry for message-logs in /etc/logrotate.conf or in /etc/logrotate.d | 06:45 |
| pingui | can someone answer me a question | 06:45 |
| Darkness3477 | Hey, I've partitioned my Drive so I can run Windows for gaming. It's roughly 50gig for each drive. Is ther a way I can access files on the windows partition from Ubuntu? I'm guessing there is, so if someone could tell me what to google for I'd be very appreciative | 06:45 |
| amenado | what is the correct syntax to upgrade inkscape from 0.45 to 0.46? i tried apt-get upgrade inkscape | 06:45 |
| mecha | Fryguy, what is the command? | 06:45 |
| filter3d | Darkness: You need to add NTFS support to your Ubuntu OS | 06:45 |
| Fryguy-- | mecha: no idea, motd probably | 06:45 |
| pingui | can you | 06:46 |
| mecha | Fryguy, didn't work | 06:46 |
| Flannel | nano_: messages rotation gets taken care of by sysklogd in cron.weekly | 06:46 |
| Starnestommy | pingui: you haven't even asked the question yet | 06:46 |
| Fryguy-- | Darkness3477: what version of ubuntu | 06:46 |

| pingui | heeee osrry i wanted to know what the funciopn of the sync now button on the new opera | 06:47 |
| Fryguy-- | Stargazer: #xubuntu | 06:47 |
| Flannel | nano_: Basically, it takes care of its own log rotation | 06:47 |
| Darkness3477 | Fryguy--: 8.04 | 06:47 |
| Fryguy-- | pingui: #opera | 06:47 |
| Fryguy-- | Darkness3477: ntfs support is enabled by default | 06:47 |
| nano_ | Flannel, is message the only type of log that takes care of its own rotation? | 06:47 |
| __yy | rand0m: tar -zxvf thefile.tar.gz to extract it | 06:47 |
| amenado | i guess 7.10 does not have the 0.46 update for Inkscape, only on 8.04 | 06:47 |
| Darkness3477 | Ok, so how do I access those files? lol | 06:47 |
| zachera | I just installed vsftpd to my Ubuntu and I wanted to know how I can disable Anonymous FTP access and allow myself, one user, to have access to the whole system. I want to have a password to protect from other users accessing the FTP. | 06:47 |

| YAOMTC | I need to convert WMA to WAV, MP3, or OGG, but soundKonverter, ffmpeg, Audacity, and dir2ogg have all not worked for me! | 06:47 |
| Flannel | nano_: I have no idea. You could quickly look, to see if theres anything else in /var/log that is rotated and isn't in logrotate | 06:48 |
| Darkness3477 | KK thanks. | 06:48 |

| Crshman | Fryguy--: o really? awesome | 06:49 |
| bastid_raZor | Crshman; i've had a 5200 working fine with medium settings of compiz | 06:49 |
| Crshman | how does it do under max settings? | 06:50 |
| YAOMTC | crimsun: I have mplayer, but I'm not sure I have all the codecs | 06:50 |
| bastid_raZor | Crshman; the cube and a small lag in desktop rotation .. 1280x1024 | 06:50 |
| Crshman | ah | 06:50 |
| Crshman | very cool | 06:50 |

| zachera | For vsftpd. | 06:52 |
| b1 | halaww | 06:52 |
| zachera | Fryguy--: For vsftpd. | 06:52 |
| __yy | rand0m: tar -zvpf in that case | 06:52 |
| Fryguy-- | zachera: #vsftpd, this isn't an ftp server support channel | 06:52 |
| __yy | rand0m: you should read the tar manpage for what those options are doing | 06:52 |
| zachera | Fryguy--: I went there; nobody answered in 20+ minutes. | 06:52 |
| YAOMTC | crimsun: How do I get the mplayer codecs I need? | 06:53 |
| b1 | oyea?????? | 06:53 |
| crimsun | YAOMTC: mediubuntu for w32codecs, etc. | 06:53 |
| Fryguy-- | zachera: that doesn't make it any more OK to ask in here. we don't know either | 06:53 |
| crimsun | sorry, medibuntu | 06:53 |
| Blaqlight | !medibuntu | 06:53 |

| snarkster | hi, how do i change the resolution of the logon screen? | 06:55 |
| Fryguy-- | snarkster: edit /etc/X11/xorg.conf and set the resolution of the login screen to be the first one on the list | 06:55 |
| Fryguy-- | !resolution | snarkster | 06:55 |
| ubottu | snarkster: The X Window System is the part of your system that's responsible for graphical output. To restart your X, type « sudo /etc/init.d/?dm restart » in a console - To fix screen resolution or other X problems: http://help.ubuntu.com/community/FixVideoResolutionHowto | 06:55 |
| __yy | rand3sk: oops, should have been -xvpf | 06:56 |
| pingui | no i just need to know my username and password | 06:56 |
| wiltonstone | Fryguy--: I used the synaptic package manager to install rtorrent, but i dont know where it is | 06:56 |
| Fryguy-- | pingui: whoami will tell your your username, there is no way to determine your password | 06:56 |
| Fryguy-- | wiltonstone: it's a command line tool, run rtorrent from the terminal | 06:56 |
| Blaqlight | there doesn't seem to be a program that does anything other than xml/html websites. anyone know of something else? | 06:57 |
| Fryguy-- | Blaqlight: ? | 06:57 |
| snarkster | fryguy thank you for the info, but my desktop is 1024x768 but the logon screen is either 8x6 or 6x4 | 06:57 |
| wiltonstone | there is not a way to search for files on it? | 06:57 |
| Fryguy-- | snarkster: right, so change the order of the resolutions listed in /etc/X11/xorg.conf so that 1024x768 is listed first | 06:57 |
| Blaqlight | I need something like frontpage for building websites. | 06:57 |
| Fryguy-- | wiltonstone: where, on rtorrent? no, for torrents you need to have a .torrent file already. search on the internet | 06:58 |
| bastid_raZor | Fryguy--; that will make the login/boot change? there is a way in grub to specify screensize. | 06:58 |
| Fryguy-- | Blaqlight: nvu | 06:58 |
| Fryguy-- | bastid_raZor: grub settings only affect console resolution, gdm runs in X | 06:58 |
| s3a | icecat is the continuation of iceweasel? | 06:58 |
| wiltonstone | Fryguy--: I am looking for a p2p program where i can search other people's computers for files | 06:59 |
| Fryguy-- | wiltonstone: frostwire or emule | 06:59 |
| bastid_raZor | Fryguy--; i see, i was misunderstanding. thanks. | 06:59 |
| Blaqlight | Fryguy--, thanks :-) | 07:00 |
| snarkster | ok now that thats fixed ima going to restart the X server | 07:01 |
| snarkster | later | 07:01 |

| Varak_ | how do i ensure that i have the source for my kernel (not just the kernel-headers) installed and linked correctly? | 07:03 |

| Varak_ | ls /lib/modules/`uname -r`/build shows something | 07:03 |
| Varak_ | but /lib/modules/`uname -r`/source does not | 07:04 |

| s3a | y does firefox have proprietary artwork, like y is i t needed when its free license already protects its contents including artwork?? | 07:35 |
| rand0m | ugh, permission denied while trying to drag & drop the file | 07:35 |
| Fryguy-- | s3a: it's source code is under a free license, not it's other assets | 07:35 |
| rand0m | how do i move somethign in terminal | 07:35 |
| Fryguy-- | rand0m: mv | 07:35 |
| unop | rand0m, cd && sudo mv /wbar-1.3.3 . | 07:36 |
| Fryguy-- | rand0m: scroll up, we pasted to like like 3x how to do it | 07:36 |
| KoolD | thanks | 07:36 |
| s3a | y cant the other assets be protected by such a license? like y all this tension and problems to start things like iceweasel for example? | 07:36 |
| rand0m | i read every line you guys gave me.. im lost | 07:36 |
| K-Ton | Hi, i have trouble with my internet speed. I'm using wifi connection, it works well, but the download speed after 10-30 seconds drops down. It starts with full speed (1-1,5mb/s) and drops to 30-40kb/s. If i stop the download, and after a minute return to it, it has full speed again until a half minute. I'm using wicd with madwifi config. Can anyone help me? | 07:36 |
| Fryguy-- | s3a: ask mozilla | 07:36 |
| rand0m | just saying "and move it to /home/james" doesn't mean much to me.. i wouldn't know how to move something via terminal commands | 07:37 |
| s3a | Fryguy--: aww man lol im lazy | 07:37 |
| billoutre | #tbg youplala | 07:37 |
| unop | guess rand0m can't see me | 07:37 |
| Jester45 | s3a: like Fryguy-- said its source is free and thats why debian can only use the source and cant use the firefox image/name or anything to do with firefox they have to rename it | 07:37 |
| rand0m | unop, i can | 07:37 |
| rand0m | but do i type exactly that ? | 07:37 |
| Shoopuf | Am I doing something wrong? I downloaded GnoCHM to read .CHM files but there's no scroll bar to scroll down in the "content" window pane! :( | 07:37 |
| unop | s3a, read the mozilla license - it'll all make sense then | 07:37 |
| rand0m | and that'll make it end up in /home/james/wbar-1.3.3 ? | 07:37 |
| Metatron1 | m having difficulty with ltsp-build-client in ubuntu, i use mirror command to point to iso of 8.04 cd, but it fails to fetch with Package.gz in restricted directory, does so with extramirror set to standard repo, anyone seen this? the Package.gz does exsist in the folder | 07:37 |
| unop | rand0m, yes | 07:38 |
| rand0m | ok | 07:38 |
| heyan | Hi, my screen always turns black when i open webpage. | 07:38 |
| rand0m | im just trying to understand what im doing instead of blindly follow | 07:38 |
| rand0m | sry if im annoying | 07:38 |
| heyan | could anyone help me? | 07:38 |
| s3a | Jester45: Fryguy--: unop: y doesnt ubuntu have iceweasel or icecat or wtv? | 07:38 |
| Jester45 | K-Ton: is this with any internet source? what about using a webbased speedtest and is the downloading via P2P or http/ftp | 07:38 |
| heyan | it is very annoying | 07:38 |
| adante | does anybody use apt-file? i can't get it to update because it says it can't get http://archive.ubuntu.com/ubuntu/dists/hardy-updates/Contents-i386.gz | 07:38 |
| Fryguy-- | s3a: no idea | 07:38 |
| unop | s3a, because ubuntu has made concessions about firefox and has come to an agreement with mozilla -- while debian has to adhere to the DFSG and social contract | 07:39 |
| Jester45 | s3a: because ubuntu isnt limited like debian ubuntu can enclude firefox | 07:39 |
| mr_daniel | I am working on reduce the power-consumption of my notebook | 07:39 |
| mr_daniel | is there a command I can check how many watts my notebook is consuming at the moment? | 07:39 |
| Fryguy-- | mr_daniel: no | 07:39 |
| heyan | my screen always turns black when i open webpage. it is very annoying | 07:39 |
| K-Ton | Jester45: yes, it is. I have tried http, ftp downloads. It does drop when i'm using the update manager. I also tried my neighbor's connection, and it happens there too. | 07:39 |
| Shoopuf | Anyone use CHM Viewer? | 07:40 |
| unop | Shoopuf, yes, but what is the real question? | 07:40 |
| s3a | Jester45: unop: would it be a good brainstorm idea to make iceweasel or icecat or wtv the main browser at least ONLY in free software only mode? (wen u press f6 twice on boot) | 07:40 |
| mr_daniel | Fryguy--: ok | 07:40 |
| Jester45 | K-Ton: and this is with a fast server. my dedicated server gets under 100kb/s on the repo some times | 07:40 |
| rand0m | unop, its not working.. i got an error.. how about i just delete that folder and we'll start over ? | 07:41 |
| ^White^ | 0_0 | 07:41 |
| Fryguy-- | rand0m: what is the error | 07:41 |
| ^White^ | Cucbku ! | 07:41 |
| Calaaro1 | This might sound like a silly question, but I'm only new to Ubuntu. There's a few audio options in the sound menu. How do I know which controls my actual sound? I have a SoundBlaster Live! 24-bit card. And is there any way to relabel them to make sure I know which is which? | 07:41 |
| ^White^ | )) | 07:41 |
| rand3sk | Fryguy--, mv: missing destination file operand after `/wbar-1.3.3' | 07:41 |
| rand3sk | Try `mv --help' for more information. | 07:41 |
| Shoopuf | unop: I downloaded CHM Viewer to view a .CHM file... There's two vertical panes: the "sidebar" and the actual "content" pane. But the text goes off the bottom off the window in the "content" pane and there doesn't seem to be any way to scroll down to read the rest of it?? | 07:41 |
| Fryguy-- | Calaaro1: trial and error, and no | 07:41 |
| Jester45 | s3a: if you dont like firefox dont use it... its there by defualt because most users want it or dont care | 07:41 |
| Fryguy-- | rand3sk: sudo mv /wbar-1.3.3. ~ | 07:41 |
| Calaaro1 | Fryguy--: Thanks for putting it bluntly. :P | 07:41 |
| Gazingson | I am trying to put code in wine to have it run a program on a cd | 07:42 |
| avis | Shoopuf, you can try another chm viewer, see if it does it too | 07:42 |
| Gazingson | how do i do that | 07:42 |
| s3a | Jester45: well i do like it but i want to support this free software ideology | 07:42 |
| Gazingson | what's the path | 07:42 |
| K-Ton | Jester45: yes it is a fast server, i have tried many ways. | 07:42 |
| earlmred | free software?! | 07:42 |
| earlmred | HAH. | 07:42 |
| earlmred | Free software will never be successful. | 07:42 |
| Fryguy-- | Gazingson: if wine is installed correctly, you should be able to just double click on the setup file on the cd | 07:42 |
| rand0m | just took me to another line | 07:42 |
| tritium | earlmred: stay on topic, please | 07:42 |
| L815 | earlmred, tell that to google | 07:42 |
| K-Ton | Jester45: I have had this problem for half year | 07:42 |
| Fryguy-- | rand0m: so then it's successful | 07:42 |
| Gazingson | well fryguy then something is wrong | 07:42 |
| rand0m | ok cool | 07:42 |
| Fryguy-- | rand0m: cd ~/wbar-1.3.3 | 07:42 |
| avis | earlmred, take it to #ubuntu-offtopic | 07:42 |
| Gazingson | let me try again | 07:42 |
| Rat409 | s3a: google Gnusense | 07:42 |
| earlmred | avis: you take it to ubuntu-offtopic. | 07:43 |
| rand0m | Fryguy--, nice, k im in there | 07:43 |
| Jester45 | earlmred: then leave this channel and BTW free software runs most of the internet... freenode this irc network is free software | 07:43 |
| Fryguy-- | rand0m: and since you decided to make that stuff owned by root, sudo chown -R james ~/wbar-1.3.3 | 07:43 |
| unop | s3a, personally, i don't think it's something worth hassling about - firefox is free, it fits into ubuntu's definition of free software | 07:43 |
| earlmred | Jester45: netcraft confirms linux is dying and IIS is winning. | 07:43 |
| L815 | earlmred, why waste time of others, just because yours is of no value (so it seems). | 07:43 |
| tritium | earlmred: last warning. Stay on topic. | 07:43 |
| rand0m | Fryguy--, if its owned by root, its a mistake.. does that line correct it? | 07:43 |

| rand0m | Fryguy--, lots and lots of error.. ill pastebin | 07:44 |
| Jester45 | K-Ton: does this only happen with this computer/ linux and have you tried axel? its like wget but multi connections | 07:44 |
| avis | i'm sorry if i called the ops too early he was just being ugly | 07:45 |
| tritium | avis: no worries | 07:45 |
| s3a | unop: :( is it possible to get it tho? like if i compile it maybe? | 07:45 |
| Jester45 | lol that guy was funny wasting his time in here | 07:45 |
| s3a | unop: am i asking stupid questions? | 07:45 |
| rand3sk | http://paste.ubuntu.com/25380/ | 07:45 |
| mahesh | <s3a> i got it dude | 07:45 |
| Jester45 | ty tritium | 07:45 |
| Fryguy-- | rand0m: hahahaha, this is gonna be not fun at all | 07:46 |
| s3a | mahesh: k, thats good :) | 07:46 |
| rand0m | Fryguy--, haha oh no what'd i do ? | 07:46 |
| Fryguy-- | rand0m: especially since i dont' use ubuntu and don't know the names of all of the development packages you need | 07:46 |
| K-Ton | Jester45: only with this computer, it's a notebook. I have used debian, and it worked neither. I don't know what axel is, can you tell me more please? | 07:46 |
| tritium | No problem. | 07:46 |
| unop | s3a, well, as far as i know, it is only available to debian -- you could download the debian source package and compile it for your system - but be prepared for any surprises | 07:46 |
| mahesh | s3a: do you know how to share files using pidgin | 07:46 |
| Fryguy-- | rand0m: sudo apt-get install x11-dev or something (maybe xorg-dev) | 07:46 |
| rand0m | should i do that from the main dir ? | 07:46 |
| s3a | mahesh: conversation-->send file | 07:46 |
| Fryguy-- | rand0m: do it from wherever | 07:46 |
| rand0m | k | 07:47 |
| rand0m | sudo apt-get install xll-dev | 07:47 |
| rand0m | err lol | 07:47 |
| rand0m | wow | 07:47 |
| unop | rand3sk, you could just do this. sudo apt-get build-dep fluxbox | 07:47 |
| Fryguy-- | rand0m: i have typed FAR FAR worse into irc channels :/ | 07:47 |
| renoboy | what is a good torrent downloader? | 07:47 |
| Fryguy-- | renoboy: i like rtorrent | 07:47 |
| K-Ton | Jester45: i have tried the speed test at http://www.speedtest.net/, ping is okay, but my speed is 300-400 kbps. My connection is 20mbps | 07:47 |
| Fryguy-- | renoboy: also check out azureus, transmission, and deluge | 07:47 |
| Fryguy-- | renoboy: and ktorrent | 07:47 |
| mahesh | s3a: my friend says he is not able to share file with me from gtalk (he's using windows) | 07:48 |
| Jester45 | K-Ton: have you used wget? its a simple commandline downloader but axel opens multipule connections just run axel url://ofsomelargefile | 07:48 |
| rand0m | ahha k building dependcy trees now | 07:48 |
| rand0m | i can't get over how rad you guys are | 07:48 |
| rand0m | a few years ago when id come around linux rooms asking for help, i'd get flamed like ten | 07:48 |
| frold | what is recommanded when you have a totally fresh hardy install... any changes I need to do...? | 07:48 |
| L815 | lol | 07:48 |
| Jester45 | K-Ton: is this speed lan speed also? or just when connecting to an internet source | 07:48 |
| Bacta | Why does Firefox take a longer time to start under Ubuntu than under XP? | 07:48 |
| Fryguy-- | frold: www.ubuntuguide.com | 07:48 |
| L815 | Bacta, xul is a hog :P | 07:49 |
| unop | K-Ton, don't forget to divide 20Mbps by the number of contenders on that line | 07:49 |
| Bacta | well is there anyway of fixing this? | 07:49 |
| Fryguy-- | i <3 my 20mbps connection | 07:49 |
| dgregory | ? | 07:49 |
| Fryguy-- | Bacta: how long does it take in windows, and how long does it take in ubuntu | 07:49 |
| frold | Fryguy--: seems to be .org :D | 07:49 |
| L815 | Bacta, give it a bit of time. After a while it should boot up quicker | 07:49 |
| Fryguy-- | frold: ok | 07:50 |
| Bacta | about 3 seconds in XP, 8-10 in Ubuntu | 07:50 |
| Jester45 | frold: thats very opionated but i suggest making sure your audio works and video is working good then get multi media codecs if you watch movies or listen to music | 07:50 |
| L815 | isn't there a package that caches things to boot them faster? | 07:50 |
| L815 | like preload or something | 07:50 |
| nano_ | Bacta, stability >> system overall speed, i would prefer anyday | 07:50 |
| L815 | you could always use Opera, very fast | 07:50 |
| Bacta | nano_: Ubuntu is about as stable as XP for me. both crash | 07:50 |
| rand0m | a ha.. not that i've done that build-dep fluxbox thing | 07:50 |
| Orbur | ? | 07:50 |
| rand0m | typing 'make' actually did something | 07:50 |
| Bacta | evince crashes all the time | 07:50 |
| Bacta | taking my entire system with it | 07:50 |
| unop | rand0m, not? | 07:51 |
| nano_ | Bacta, when XP crashes it is a mystery, when linux crashes you can determine exact cause and fix it | 07:51 |
| rand0m | *now | 07:51 |
| rand0m | its all good | 07:51 |
| nano_ | Bacta, y does your system crash? | 07:51 |
| unop | rand0m, right :) | 07:51 |
| rand0m | after "make" whatdo I do? it seems to have .. made everything ? | 07:51 |
| rand0m | :P | 07:51 |
| nano_ | Bacta, have you checked your system logs? | 07:51 |
| Bacta | nano_: I've had a bug filed for evince several weeks now. No fixes yet | 07:51 |
| Fryguy-- | rand0m: sudo make install | 07:51 |
| LMJ | hello the chan | 07:51 |
| rand0m | k done | 07:51 |
| Fryguy-- | rand0m: now type wbar | 07:51 |
| unop | rand0m, well, you should really be following the instructions as per the README / INSTALL file | 07:51 |
| nano_ | Bacta, so your system crashes when you are trying to use evince to view pdf's | 07:52 |
| L815 | does anyone know if compiz + video will work better with intel cards in the next release of ubuntu/ | 07:52 |
| rand0m | unop, oh ok i didnt know i was back on track | 07:52 |
| Bacta | nano_: Certain pdfs take it's member usage upto 1.5 gigs. | 07:52 |
| Fryguy-- | L815: seems to work fine in this release | 07:52 |
| Bacta | it's a well reported bug but there have been no fixes | 07:52 |
| s3a | mahesh: i dont no wat to say but sometimes file transfer has problem for me 2 with certain ppl | 07:52 |
| nano_ | what is member usage? | 07:52 |
| unop | rand0m, you should be ok -- but it's a good practise to follow the right instructions | 07:52 |
| s3a | mahesh: use an email to send stuff for now | 07:52 |
| Bacta | *memory | 07:52 |
| unop | practice* | 07:52 |
| L815 | Fryguy--, it works decently, except when I move the video or a menu pops up it turns blue ;o | 07:52 |
| rand0m | unop, : i tried doing that first :p.. s'what got me into a mess | 07:52 |
| mahesh | s3a: its all right thankyou | 07:53 |
| rand0m | for some reason, i 2nd guess, 3rd guess, and then need to ask questions | 07:53 |
| unop | rand0m, i seriously doubt that :) | 07:53 |
| Blue_Shoe12 | are there really 1207 users here??? | 07:53 |
| s3a | mahesh: sry | 07:53 |
| L815 | 1235 is what i got :p | 07:53 |
| rand0m | in any case... | 07:53 |
| rand0m | another error | 07:53 |
| Fryguy-- | Blue_Shoe12: vast majority are idle, but yes | 07:53 |
| s3a | Blue_Shoe12: many r probly inactive | 07:53 |
| unop | rand0m, whats that? | 07:53 |
| Blue_Shoe12 | haha, lovely crew | 07:53 |
| Bacta | people say Linux is so much more stable etc. but so far that's not been my experience :( | 07:53 |
| crdlb | L815: "you're doing it wrong" | 07:54 |
| Blue_Shoe12 | anybody talking come from australia? | 07:54 |
| mahesh | s3a: ok... its becoz both of them has to use the same type of messenger application | 07:54 |
| L815 | crdlb, what do you mean? | 07:54 |
| crdlb | L815: with EXA, you should be able to use Textured Xv | 07:54 |
| unop | Bacta, Linux is -- gnome isn't - big difference | 07:54 |
| crdlb | which means no blue overlay | 07:54 |
| rand3sk | http://paste.ubuntu.com/25382/ | 07:54 |
| L815 | crdlb, you mean using x11 output? | 07:54 |
| crdlb | L815: no | 07:54 |
| K-Ton | Jester45: on LAN the speed is acceptable,300-400kb/s | 07:54 |
| Bacta | well KDE isn't any better | 07:54 |
| rand3sk | http://paste.ubuntu.com/25382/ unop | 07:54 |
| s3a | mahesh: no, my gf uses windows and i get no problems with her but sometimes with others i have problems | 07:54 |
| Fryguy-- | Bacta: linux is just a kernel, the software you choose to run on top of it affects it's stability | 07:54 |
| Bacta | and will probably be forked soon | 07:54 |
| L815 | crdlb, xgl seems to work, but it's buggy when fullscreen, opensuse's xgl works a tad bit better | 07:54 |
| L815 | on my system that is | 07:55 |
| crdlb | L815: you're not using that now are you? | 07:55 |
| mahesh | s3a: ok.. | 07:55 |
| Bacta | ok, rephrase: Why is Ubuntu more unstable than XP? | 07:55 |
| s3a | mahesh: im just tryin to not point u in wrong direction.. | 07:55 |
| L815 | crdlb, no i'm using aiglx now | 07:55 |
| unop | rand0m, sounds like wbar is using an old IMLIB API - meaning, it's probably too old to run | 07:55 |
| Jester45 | K-Ton: if your getting 300-400 kb/s on lan thats all you can get with internet as your internet traffic goes though the lan | 07:55 |
| s3a | Bacta: be more precise | 07:55 |
| crdlb | L815: Xgl is dead, and suse seems to do AIGLX rather badly sometimes :) | 07:55 |
| unop | rand0m, what is wbar? | 07:55 |
| Fryguy-- | Bacta: maybe you have a hardware configuration that ubuntu isn't good with? "unstable" is a pretty generic term. What metric are we using to measure it? | 07:56 |
| L815 | crdlb, well it's the past now, because I'm back to ubuntu :) | 07:56 |
| mahesh | s3a:: thats ok | 07:56 |
| Jester45 | Bacta: that would be the system its running on linux is much much more stable for me | 07:56 |
| rand0m | unop, a dock/launcher similar to that of os-x.. im using fluxbox right now & can't handle just the one bar it comes with | 07:56 |
| daYZman-w | hi | 07:56 |
| L815 | i have to admit that ubuntu's aiglx is ahead of suse's :P | 07:56 |
| Fryguy-- | rand0m: you should check out avant-window-navigator too | 07:56 |
| daYZman-w | does anyone know how to upgrade from ubuntu 8 hardy to ubuntu ultimate 1.8? | 07:56 |
| crdlb | L815: do you have an Option "AccelMethod" line in your xorg.conf (Device section)? | 07:56 |
| rand0m | i did.. i have it on my gnome desktop, but couldn't get it going with fluxbox | 07:56 |
| Fryguy-- | daYZman-w: ubuntu ultimate is a completly unsupposed version of ubuntu | 07:56 |
| crdlb | daYZman-w: that's no upgrade | 07:56 |
| Bacta | ok im out | 07:57 |
| Fryguy-- | unsupported* | 07:57 |
| mahesh | thank you bye | 07:57 |
| L815 | crdlb, i'll check when i boot up ubuntu , currently not on it | 07:57 |
| Josdell | Hi everyone, I have two partitions on my drive, one boots with GRUB, One boots with syslinux. How do I make it that the one with GRUB boots and the syslinux doesn't, can I do this by taking the boot flag off of the syslinux partition? | 07:57 |
| unop | rand0m, i would use AWN if i were you - or use something similar like fbpanel or idesk | 07:58 |
| x3 | I have ebox firewall installed but cant access its GUI | 07:58 |
| crdlb | L815: if it has an AccelMethod XAA line, that would explain why it's using the hardware overlay instead of textured video | 07:58 |
| K-Ton | Jester45: no, for example with d4x download manager can download with 1,8mb / sec, for a minute, or for more, but then it slows down too. And it really downloads the data. And if i stop it, and return, it downloads again fast. | 07:58 |
| rand0m | unop, i tried using awn.. couldn't get it going with fluxbox | 07:58 |
| unop | rand0m, why won't it play nice? | 07:58 |
| Fryguy-- | unop: i think avant needs a compositor running. fluxbox = no compiz = no compositor | 07:58 |
| rand0m | it seems to install just fine | 07:58 |
| L815 | crdlb, if it is there, do I remove it or replace it with something else? | 07:59 |
| Fryguy-- | rand0m: try running xcompmgr, it might fix things | 07:59 |
| unop | hmm | 07:59 |
| crdlb | L815: but to answer your original question, I think that may improve in intrepid, particularly since the radeon driver supports textured video now, so they can work the kinks out a bit more thoroughly | 07:59 |
| rand0m | i read all that in online tutorials | 07:59 |
| L815 | isnt xcompmgr buggy? | 07:59 |
| jedimind | how would you go about changing the font color on the main panel in ubuntu ? | 07:59 |
| K-Ton | Jester45: i have ran today apt-get update, it says i have to download 100mp updates, i clicked okay, and it downloaded 1mb/s, and half way it slowed down. | 07:59 |
| Fryguy-- | L815: yes | 07:59 |
| dynamethod | what does it mean when ubuntu locks up and the caps lock and scroll lock lights on the keyboard flash on and off? | 07:59 |
| rand0m | i did sudo apt-get install xcompmgr | 07:59 |
| crdlb | L815: either remove it or change it to EXA | 07:59 |
| rand0m | buuut not sure how to use it if i need to | 07:59 |
| Fryguy-- | rand0m: lol | 07:59 |
| Fryguy-- | rand0m: i'm completely guessing btw | 07:59 |
| L815 | crdlb, i'm thinking it will improve in interprid, i mean it did for hardy :) | 07:59 |
| Josdell | Hi everyone, I have two partitions on my drive, one boots with GRUB, One boots with syslinux. How do I make it that the one with GRUB boots and the syslinux doesn't, can I do this by taking the boot flag off of the syslinux partition? | 08:00 |
| rand0m | Fryguy--, lol its all good.. your guess is way better than mine | 08:00 |
| Fryguy-- | !repeat | Josdell | 08:00 |
| ubottu | Josdell: 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 | 08:00 |
| L815 | Fryguy--, is it still being developed? | 08:00 |
| Fryguy-- | L815: no idea | 08:00 |
| L815 | crdlb, thanks for the help :) | 08:00 |
| syntropy | Does anyone know if AMD ships their programming manuals like Intel does? | 08:00 |
| crdlb | L815: EXA is the big factor in this, since textured video cannot work with compiz using the old XAA mode | 08:00 |
| K-Ton | Jester45: i'm using ubuntu for a year, and sometimes the speed is okay and stable, and sometimes it's not. | 08:00 |
| ali__ | Hi, I am using aptproxy on my work, It works. but new updates will not be updated on client machines | 08:00 |
| crdlb | and EXA used to be very slow | 08:00 |
| Jester45 | K-Ton: the ubuntu servers are very busy as i said my dedicated 100mbit server gets under 100kb/s its just the ubuntu server cant handle 50,000 people downloading from it at major speeds. | 08:01 |
| rand0m | unop, fbpanel & idesk.. do u know if those work with fluxbox ? | 08:01 |
| Fryguy-- | rand0m: yes | 08:01 |
| Fryguy-- | rand0m: the fb in fbpanel stands for fluxbox | 08:01 |

| L815 | crdlb, the video plays normally with compiz, only when I move the player, the video output stays in place (causing the blue screen), until the window is stationary, then the video moves to the new area. | 08:01 |
| unop | rand0m, i use fluxbox and idesk | 08:01 |
| rand0m | screen? | 08:02 |
| berkelep | anyone know how to solve this issue with vsftpd? http://pastie.org/228449 | 08:02 |
| K-Ton | Jester45: i understand it, but i have this issue everywhere. | 08:02 |
| L815 | not a big problem, just gets annoying sometimes | 08:02 |
| scort | cat: ubuntu???: No such file or directory | 08:02 |
| crdlb | L815: yep, that's because it's using a hardware overlay to put the video directly on the screen, instead of a more modern method | 08:02 |
| unop | rand0m, screen? | 08:02 |
| rand0m | sry.. screenshot ? | 08:02 |
| L815 | crdlb, hmm , i read many solutions to use x11 or xv output (maybe it's the same?), but the video is blocky when enlarged :/ | 08:03 |
| unop | rand0m, errm, gimme a sec | 08:03 |
| Fryguy-- | rand0m: lol you don't want to see my screenshot | 08:03 |
| ali__ | how to fine current availabe device nod names ( such as cdroms or hard drives) | 08:03 |
| L815 | crdlb, I'll just suck it up until interprid, or Kde4 is less buggy :) | 08:03 |
| crdlb | L815: "X11" output means draw the video with no acceleration whatsoever | 08:03 |
| rand0m | Fryguy--, : may I? im curious to see what you tenured guys use as a setup | 08:03 |
| L815 | crdlb, that makes sense | 08:04 |
| Fryguy-- | ali__: check /etc/fstab for cdroms and stuff, check df for currently mounted devices, and fdisk -l to detect drives and partitions | 08:04 |
| Fryguy-- | rand0m: k | 08:04 |
| saljs | Shalom all! | 08:04 |
| L815 | crdlb, regardless of the issues, to me the video playback seems 'crispier' than windows, which is always a plus | 08:05 |

| saljs | Ubuntu is not detecting my iPod. It has always worked before, however, this is a fresh partition and this is the first time i've plugged said iPod into this partition | 08:05 |
| saljs | Suggestions? | 08:05 |
| Jester45 | K-Ton: well if your LAN speeds are the same its something with your network be it the driver under linux the card your wireless router the wireless signal strength. if other machines work fine then its the driver under linux or the card. if its external try using it on a diffrent machine. if you dont think its the wireless card and your router support ethernet try using a wired connection | 08:05 |
| L815 | saljs, did you try using rhythmbox? | 08:05 |
| ali__ | thanks Fryguy-- | 08:06 |
| saljs | L815: Yes, but the problem lies with the fact that the iPod is not being detected by the computer. It's not in ~/media or on my desktop. | 08:06 |
| rand0m | Fryguy--, : LOL | 08:06 |
| L815 | saljs, ahh my mistake , i missread | 08:06 |
| Fryguy-- | rand0m: yah | 08:06 |
| saljs | No problem bud | 08:06 |
| avis | saljs, there is a good number of ipod specific things i the repo. one in particular is a ipod diagnostic of sorts, text based, that might be useful. lsusb might be useful too just to see if it even sees it. might try lsusb | 08:06 |
| K-Ton | Jester45: this is a linux-only problem, under windows it's working fine. | 08:06 |
| rand0m | unop, : is that idesk just on top of the default (but customized) bar ? | 08:07 |
| icqnumber | !mp3 | 08:07 |

| saljs | avis: It's not detecting anything I plug in now. I think I might just need to repartition. | 08:07 |
| Fryguy-- | rand0m: like i said, you don't want to see my screenshot | 08:08 |
| avis | saljs, i think its odd that you just reinstalled and it stopped. wouldn't think reinstalling would be necessary though might try lsusb first | 08:08 |
| avis | saljs, wouldn't be necessary, sorry | 08:08 |
| fenrisx | [h]ardopc sounds familiar.. something to do with quake 3 when i played back in the day.. idk | 08:08 |
| unop | rand0m, idesk is what draws the icons , just the icons -- the bar is drawn on top of the wallpaper using imagemagick in a script i wrote | 08:08 |
| L815 | saljs, check your /etc/fstab (i think that's it) | 08:08 |
| CrackWhoreBob | shouldn't nautilus be able to get rid of a read only file ? | 08:08 |
| L815 | saljs, I mean see if there is a listing for mounting your ipod | 08:09 |
| CrackWhoreBob | btw good evening ladies and gentlemen | 08:09 |
| Jester45 | K-Ton: are you using ndiswrapper? or a not dont yet linux driver | 08:09 |
| Narlzac85__ | I recently replaced my broken motherboard and now when I do a large file transfer over the network, my network connection stops working until I reset the interface. Any suggestions before I reinstall? | 08:09 |
| Flannel | CrackWhoreBob: deletion is writing | 08:09 |
| CrackWhoreBob | allow me to introduce myself | 08:09 |
| rand0m | oh | 08:09 |
| f3rr311 | Hello ne one on | 08:09 |
| avis | saljs, i think there might be issues with redetection like if it were plugged in when you reinstalled. i'm thinking in the cases where its disconnected and reinstalled, it would pick it up alright. not sure what a fix would be though | 08:09 |
| K-Ton | Jester45: I don't know, i'm using the default driver what is built in ubuntu 8.04 | 08:09 |
| saljs | avis: i think that's the deal. | 08:10 |
| unop | rand0m, idesk does not draw the bar tho -- it's actually meant to draw desktop icons -- but i got creative and made this | 08:10 |
| avis | i'm curious if anyone has gotten eve-onlne working in hardy with sound ? it looks awfully neat | 08:11 |
| annie_g | Convert .uif to a .iso with ubuntu ? ? | 08:11 |
| saljs | avis: Yes, I have seen a few people running it. | 08:11 |
| Jester45 | K-Ton: im going to say its a flaky driver that isnt working so good. try getting a newer driver if possible thats the only suggestion i have other than using a new card | 08:11 |
| kushalsejwal | I created a wrong mountpoint named "music" in /media now when I delete it its gives me error "you dont have privilage" how can I delete that !!! | 08:12 |

| s3a | gparted doesnt resize ntfs partitions?! | 08:12 |
| K-Ton | Jester45: thank you, i'm going to install ndiswrapper | 08:12 |
| unop | rand0m, this is actually what idesk does - http://troumad.developpez.com/linux/serveurx/icewm/ecrans/idesk1.jpg | 08:12 |
| Fryguy-- | kushalsejwal: use sudo | 08:12 |
| kushalsejwal | fryguy: okay and which command??? | 08:12 |
| unop | "how can i delete that?" ha ha | 08:12 |
| avis | kushalsejwal, if you unmount it with sudo you wont have to touch the contents which would be liked to a actual working device if its mounted | 08:12 |
| Fryguy-- | kushalsejwal: make sure whatever you have there is unmounted, then sudo rm -rf /media/music/ | 08:13 |
| Flannel | CrackWhoreBob: What don't you understand? | 08:13 |
| K-Ton | Jester45: after installing this driver have to I do something? Will it be default? | 08:13 |

| kushalsejwal | avis: I just created this new mount point with mk dir there is nothing in that | 08:13 |
| kushalsejwal | its empty | 08:13 |
| Jester45 | K-Ton: make sure your card is supported. also if your using a opensource driver check to see if they have bugs or a newer version is out. also if you feel like it make a bug report your self | 08:13 |
| hallucinative | Does anyone know if Ubuntu works on AMD Duel cores yet?, last time i tested, it didn't work so well without a bit of messing around and even then it crashed after half an hour :( | 08:13 |
| Josdell | hi everyone, how can I choose what partition on an USB drive to boot, I'm trying to get a GRUB partition to boot over the syslinux partition. | 08:13 |
| Rat409 | unop: i was curious,so built wbar on hardy,works fine. fwiw i missed the whole convo | 08:13 |
| avis | kushalsejwal, you can do something like sudo umount /dev/sdc1 | 08:14 |
| Jester45 | K-Ton: i dont use wireless so i cant help you with that | 08:14 |
| unop | rand0m, right, but you can put the icons wherever you like and it'll remember those positions | 08:14 |
| Flannel | CrackWhoreBob: What do you mean nautilus won't identify it? | 08:14 |
| K-Ton | Jester45: okay, thanks everything. | 08:14 |
| unop | Rat409, are you saying you got wbar built on hardy? | 08:14 |
| CrackWhoreBob | it won't pick it up | 08:14 |
| nomopofomo | anyone know a good place to go to ask hardware questions? | 08:14 |
| CrackWhoreBob | i open nautilus and it doesn't see it | 08:15 |
| Rat409 | unop: yes | 08:15 |
| CrackWhoreBob | so i cann't delete it | 08:15 |
| CrackWhoreBob | its just file on my desktop | 08:15 |
| Rat409 | i'm in fvwm atm but have normal hardy gnome with several wm's | 08:15 |
| unop | Rat409, wbar fails on rand0m's machine for some odd imlib reason -- you might like to give him a hand | 08:15 |
| Flannel | CrackWhoreBob: If its read only, you can't delete it anyway. Where are you looking? | 08:15 |
| Jester45 | nomopofomo: #hardware | 08:15 |
| Jester45 | nomopofomo: freenode makes channelname guessing easy :) | 08:15 |
| Rat409 | unop: says he needs imlib2-dev | 08:16 |
| s3a | why cant i resize my drive?? (im respecting space limits) | 08:16 |
| Rat409 | unop: the readme | 08:16 |
| f3rr311 | whatsanyone here fimilar with kde ( i know in wrong room) | 08:16 |
| nomopofomo | cool :) | 08:16 |
| Flannel | !anyone | f3rr311 | 08:16 |
| Fryguy-- | !ask | f3rr311 | 08:16 |
| ubottu | f3rr311: 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? | 08:16 |
| ubottu | f3rr311: 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. :-) | 08:16 |
| CrackWhoreBob | i am looking on my desktop | 08:16 |
| CrackWhoreBob | why cann't i delete read only | 08:17 |
| unop | Rat409, errm, we installed all the fluxbox requisites - that includes imlib2-dev too -- he was able to build fine, just that the binary fails | 08:17 |
| CrackWhoreBob | i got a bunch of files that are read only that i can use but not delete now | 08:17 |
| CrackWhoreBob | i recently had virus breach awhile back | 08:17 |
| f3rr311 | ok am having a issue when i logout reboot or shutdown using the kde logo button and hiting shut dow ect.. | 08:17 |
| unop | rand0m, why don't you talk to Rat409 here, he seems to have gotten wbar installed fine | 08:17 |
| hallucinative | Does ubuntu work on AMD Duelcore? | 08:17 |
| jbroome | hallucinative: yes | 08:18 |
| CrackWhoreBob | i take that back | 08:18 |
| unop | hallucinative, yes | 08:18 |
| CrackWhoreBob | i don't know | 08:18 |
| CrackWhoreBob | it could just be guy playing with me | 08:18 |
| rand0m | Rat409, you've had success installing wbar on fluxbox ? | 08:18 |
| CrackWhoreBob | i can still use the files but i cann't get this one off my desktop | 08:18 |
| Rat409 | i did make then sudo make install then ran it as normal user,it didn't generate a user-config so used defaults from /usr/share/wbar,i did copy /usr/share/wbar/dot.wbar to /home as .wbar | 08:18 |
| unop | CrackWhoreBob, to delete files you need to be able to write to them - deletion is a write operation | 08:18 |
| CrackWhoreBob | so how can i write this one | 08:19 |
| chowder | I'm loving the nick | 08:19 |
| chowder | lol | 08:19 |
| unop | CrackWhoreBob, give yourself permissions to do that -- right click on the file, properties - permissions .. | 08:19 |
| f3rr311 | it goes to a black screen with my mouse pointer only and if i try to restart x it make mouse go away and then it just sits ther | 08:20 |
| Flux-D | Sorry to ask this again but can anyone give me the result of uname -r from the server and destop versions of Ubuntu | 08:20 |
| trajan | i was wondering if it were possible to source compile (easily) all the packages on a ubuntu system or if there was some sort of repository that had had optimized binaries for your particular architecture? | 08:20 |
| f3rr311 | it is supose to show a bacwards loading bar | 08:20 |
| CrackWhoreBob | ok | 08:20 |
| cellofellow | Hi. How do I set the "Hidden" attribute on a file on my FAT32-formatted thumbdrive? Is there some command line utility for manipulating Windows attributes (Read-Only, Hidden) on a FAT32 drive? | 08:21 |
| trajan | cellofellow: i'm sure theres something in mtools that will do it | 08:22 |
| cellofellow | ok, I'll look at that | 08:22 |
| unop | Flux-D, that is a silly request -- it could be anything on another person's machine -- not everyone is running the same version of the linux kernel - some old, some new, some not so old or not so new -- what are you actually trying to do? | 08:22 |
| CrackWhoreBob | unop you rock bro lemme try it now | 08:22 |
| trajan | cellofellow: mattrib iirc | 08:22 |
| unop | CrackWhoreBob, you puzzle me | 08:23 |
| trajan | no one knows anything about optimized binaries or source compiling eh? | 08:23 |
| unop | trajan, sounds like you want to run gentoo instead | 08:24 |
| cellofellow | trajan: acts weird, thinks it's working with floppies. I have no floppy drive. | 08:24 |
| trajan | unop: i do actually | 08:24 |
| trajan | unop: i just wondered if ubuntu had similar capabilities | 08:24 |
| Flux-D | unop, I am just looking for the default info, I am planning on compiling a new kernel, and wanted to see what one ubuntu default uses | 08:24 |
| unop | trajan, why compile all packages? that's a waste of time (well, not if you have it) -- takes a good few days | 08:24 |
| trajan | unop: and i'm not trying to troll | 08:24 |
| frold | howto found what grafic card I have and howto get the proper drivers? | 08:25 |
| unop | Flux-D, packages.ubuntu.com should tell you | 08:25 |
| LSD|Ninja | frold: easiest way is to just use teh hardware drivers panel | 08:25 |
| Flux-D | unop, whats the package name? | 08:25 |
| Varak_ | # insmod dvbloopback.ko | 08:26 |
| Varak_ | insmod: error inserting 'dvbloopback.ko': -1 Unknown symbol in module | 08:26 |
| Varak_ | how do i fix? | 08:26 |
| trajan | unop: because with all of the optimizations in my gentoo setup i've noticed a pretty significant performance increase ( at the cost of waiting forever for stuff to compile) | 08:26 |
| unop | trajan, ubuntu allows you to build stuff from it's source packages -- if you're clever enough, you can script something on top of apt/dpkg | 08:26 |
| unop | Flux-D, linux-image | 08:26 |
| LSD|Ninja | sounds like a waste of effort to me | 08:26 |
| trajan | unop: something similar to source rpms in the redhat world? | 08:26 |
| LSD|Ninja | trajan: source .debs :P | 08:26 |
| unop | trajan, yes | 08:26 |
| CrackWhoreBob | unop you are the man to talk to | 08:26 |
| trajan | unop: :> | 08:26 |
| CrackWhoreBob | i am sorry just getting tired and frustrated | 08:26 |
| Rat409 | unop: cool app wbar uses 3 mb ram | 08:27 |
| CrackWhoreBob | i work late and need to get some sleep | 08:27 |
| trajan | unop: thanks thats what i was after cheers | 08:27 |
| CrackWhoreBob | will be back to shoot the bull | 08:27 |
| LSD|Ninja | If you're into the whole ricing thing though you're probably better off sticking with Gentoo | 08:27 |
| CrackWhoreBob | maybe contribute to the community because i will be around for awhile | 08:27 |
| trajan | LSD|Ninja: thanks bud i'll keep it under consideration | 08:27 |
| f3rr311 | Wow i got ran over | 08:29 |
| unop | Rat409, my idesk uses 4 - but i've got quite a few icons | 08:29 |
| Flux-D | unop, so if I install the linux-image-2.6.24-16-server or linux-image package, then reboot, and select it from grub I can get the old version back ? | 08:29 |
| unop | Flux-D, indeed | 08:30 |
| unop | Flux-D, but beware the server image is optimized for server machines -- not ideal for desktops | 08:30 |
| Rat409 | unop: yes,i've used it before idesktool is nice with it also a gui iirc | 08:31 |
| frold | LSD|Ninja: when I go til Hardware drivers, I have a restricted ATI driver that I can enable | 08:31 |
| Flux-D | unop, my box is in a datacenter, they compiled their own version of kernel and use it with ubuntu 8.04, I would like to use the ubuntu default one, will this also work for that? | 08:31 |
| LSD|Ninja | frold: so enable it :) | 08:31 |
| f3rr311 | CAN Someone help me Please | 08:32 |
| trajan | out of curiousity, is pretty much everything in ubuntu done in a gui of some sort? | 08:32 |
| unop | Flux-D, yes -- but you should choose the appropriate one for your machine and the tasks it does - is it a server machine? | 08:32 |
| Flux-D | f3rr311, ask your question | 08:32 |
| f3rr311 | ihave | 08:32 |
| LSD|Ninja | trajan: moreorless | 08:32 |
| Rat409 | Flux-D: the current is 2.6.24-19 for desktop | 08:32 |
| f3rr311 | Its up there ^^^ | 08:32 |
| frold | well, how do I know if its the best support grafic driver for my grafic card? | 08:32 |
| __yy | trajan: can be but doesn't have to be | 08:32 |
| unop | trajan, yes, since it is catered for the end-user -- but you are not obliged to use a GUI | 08:32 |
| trajan | LSD|Ninja: that's pretty convenient, no loss of flexibility? | 08:32 |
| Ayabara | I want to remove old kernels. What do I search for in synaptic? | 08:32 |
| Flux-D | thanks Rat409 | 08:33 |
| LSD|Ninja | trajan: you still have to use the terminal for more than I'd like but most of that stuff is outside the scope f the target audience anyway | 08:33 |
| frold | well, how do I know if its the best support grafic driver for my grafic card? LSD|Ninja | 08:33 |
| LSD|Ninja | trajan: if you want flexibility you use Gentoo, Slackware Debian proepr or whatever | 08:33 |

| Flux-D | unop, yes server install, then I installed ubunut-desktop on it for gui and using nx to view gui | 08:33 |
| f3rr311 | it goes to a black screen with my mouse pointer only and if i try to restart x it make mouse go away and then it just sits there | 08:34 |
| f3rr311 | it is supose to show a backwards loading bar | 08:34 |
| unop | Flux-D, right, but what does your machine do primarily? serve content or cater to your desktop needs? | 08:34 |
| trajan | LSD|Ninja: i see | 08:34 |
| trajan | now i'm curious to see how well some of these gui tools work | 08:35 |
| L815 | if i get the server install, is all i have to do is apt-get ubuntu-desktop to get a gui working? | 08:35 |
| Flux-D | unop, kinda both, gui is usually off though but nx runs if I need gui | 08:35 |
| unop | L815, yes | 08:35 |
| trajan | i'm assuming they have stuff for at/cron, grub, init, etc etc | 08:35 |
| cellofellow | trajan: I can't get mattrib actually working :( | 08:35 |
| unop | Flux-D, then i would say - use the server kernel | 08:35 |
| L815 | unop, hmm what about wireless access before installing a gui? | 08:35 |
| trajan | cellofellow: the last time i used mtools was probably 8 years ago sorry | 08:35 |
| unop | L815, you'll need to use a non-GUI way of getting it up | 08:36 |
| f3rr311 | im using kde but there are no ppl in kubuntu that can help atm | 08:36 |
| cellofellow | I don't know how to get it to access my USB drive (sdb1, using drive J or Z insists on being non-existant sdb4) | 08:36 |
| trajan | cellofellow: i dont know if theres anything better now for dealing with dos stuff | 08:36 |
| L815 | unop, oh okay, thanks :) | 08:36 |
| trajan | cellofellow: it doesnt come up a lot for me | 08:36 |
| Flux-D | unop, so once again grab the server kernel deb, install it reboot and select the new kernel from grub, does this also get me header files to comppile stuff? | 08:36 |
| cellofellow | probably not, seeing as it's a rare thing | 08:36 |
| trajan | cellofellow: what's the problem with it though? | 08:36 |
| trajan | cellofellow: other than it just doesnt work :P | 08:37 |
| Flux-D | Rat409, u there? | 08:37 |
| Rat409 | Flux-D: yes | 08:37 |
| cellofellow | trajan: keeps accessing non-existent /dev nodes. | 08:37 |
| avis | L815, you'd use /etc/network/interfaces for non-gui of wireless. i think you can man /etc/network/interfaces, google helps too | 08:37 |
| Flux-D | Rat409, is that hardy or intrepid? | 08:37 |
| unop | Flux-D, don't manually download and install -- use apt-get -- since it handles all the dependencies -- yes, reboot and you should be able to choose the new kernel -- no, it does not get the headers to compile stuff -- you need the linux-headers package | 08:37 |
| Rat409 | hardy desktop version | 08:37 |
| cellofellow | trajan: got it to work, used a symlink for sdb4 pointing to sdb1. | 08:38 |
| L815 | avis, thanks, i think i just might do a server install :) | 08:38 |
| trajan | cellofellow: :> | 08:38 |
| unop | cellofellow, what? | 08:38 |
| Flux-D | Rat409, default ubuntu desktop isntall ? | 08:38 |
| cellofellow | fooled the program, so who cares? | 08:38 |
| Rat409 | Flux-D: yes | 08:38 |
| unop | cellofellow, errm, that's really crazy | 08:38 |
| un_dave | could someone help me out setting up a new printer ? | 08:39 |
| unop | cellofellow, why don't you just operate on /dev/sdb1 instead of doing this? | 08:39 |
| trajan | heh kinda it should read the same partition table as everything else | 08:39 |
| un_dave | i have a laser brother hl-2140 | 08:39 |
| Flux-D | Rat409, from packages.ubuntu.com I see linux-image-2.6.24-18-server as latest | 08:39 |
| trajan | but hey if it worked it worked | 08:39 |
| cellofellow | unop: huh? | 08:39 |
| cellofellow | I am working directly on the disk, not an FS. | 08:40 |
| Rat409 | Flux-D: yes and i said i used std desktop version it upgraded 2 days ago to -19 via apt | 08:40 |
| Flux-D | Rat409, ah ok so its an update | 08:40 |
| Rat409 | Flux-D: yes default was -16 | 08:40 |
| unop | cellofellow, if you are using mtools -- you need to configure mtools to point J or Z drive to the right device -- not go about creating random symlinks | 08:40 |
| Flux-D | Rat409, okay cool thanks again | 08:41 |
| unop | cellofellow, i believe the mtools config file is at /etc/mtools.conf | 08:41 |
| cellofellow | unop: I couldn't figure it out, | 08:41 |
| cellofellow | unop: oh, the conf file? I'll do that next time. :) | 08:41 |

| === efeg is now known as Stoyann | ||
| avis | Dezine, you should try ctrl-backspace before a restart. that'll restart the xserver. if that doesn't work there is a key combination sequence that is useful, in not losing data i could get you a link if you want | 08:47 |
| gerhard | hi i need to copy a dvd9 to two dvd5. which tool should i use? | 08:47 |
| __yy | MiddleOfNowhere: and route for the default gateway | 08:47 |
| Dezine | avis, once it goes out I can't do anything | 08:48 |
| gerhard | the tool should be able to ignore bad sectors | 08:48 |

| MiddleOfNowhere | ifconfig (ipaddress) | 08:48 |
| MiddleOfNowhere | ? | 08:48 |
| __yy | MiddleOfNowhere: I suggest you read the man page | 08:48 |
| avis | right Dezine and there is a key sequence combination when ctrl-backspace fails, to help in the proper shutting down and restart of your system. i'll get a link. i dont have the solution to your problem though. | 08:48 |
| MiddleOfNowhere | link? | 08:48 |

| ctx144k | hello all. is there a way to get ubuntu-server 8.04 cd-image (not version 8.04.1)? | 08:49 |
| avis | here you go Dezine http://www.brunolinux.com/01-First_Things_To_Know/Skinny_Elephants.html | 08:49 |
| unop | ctx144k, head to releases.ubuntu.com | 08:50 |
| avis | Dezine, my mistake. ctrl-alt-bkspace restarts the xserver. i dont give it much thought | 08:50 |
| ctx144k | there i can see only 8.04.1 images | 08:50 |
| Dezine | oh well | 08:50 |
| Dezine | maybe my card is on the outs | 08:50 |
| Flannel | ctx144k: Why do you want the old one? | 08:50 |
| unop | ctx144k, guess you didn't look too hard eh? :) http://releases.ubuntu.com/8.04/ | 08:50 |
| Flannel | unop: Those are 8.04.1 as well | 08:51 |
| unop | ohh sheesh | 08:51 |
| unop | :) | 08:51 |
| unop | excuse me | 08:51 |
| ctx144k | unop :) | 08:52 |
| avis | Dezine, one possible solution, if it gets to the point where you might pull the card, if its ati or nvidia, you can use the unsupported envy package, to compile in a very recent driver for you. at your own risk. note that if you use it and it works, you'd have to use something like sudo envy -t for to start if after kernel upgrades. its worth a shot, if your considering retiring hardware | 08:52 |
| avis | Dezine, you'd use envyng-gtk from the repos, the ones floating around are unsupported | 08:52 |
| Metatron1 | im having difficulty with ltsp-build-client in ubuntu, i use mirror command to point to iso of 8.04 cd, but it fails to fetch with Package.gz in restricted directory, does so with extramirror set to standard repo, anyone seen this? the Package.gz does exsist in the folder | 08:53 |
| Dezine | avis, I think I need a new card, kind of odd for it to do that. It's done it with Windows too | 08:53 |
| wiltonstone | here's a brainbuster, for some reason my flash stuff stopped working, i cant see youtube videos anymore | 08:53 |

| Chaotic_Descent | how can I get a US web proxy working? someone told me to go get Tor and... I'm getting kinda confused as it wants 2 other apps/plugins and right now I'm trying to install Privoxy. do I get the Debian package? | 08:54 |
| avis | wiltonstone, i've installed the libflashsupport package in hardy for and it helps things like sound quitting in flash, but the occasional firefox dies still happens every once in awhile. i've found that for myself using that package is necessary | 08:54 |
| Metatron1 | Tor is an app to annonymize your surfing and net use, is that what u want a proxy for? | 08:55 |
| gerhard | hi i need to copy a dvd9 to two dvd5. which tool should i use? | 08:55 |
| gerhard | the tool should be able to ignore bad sectors | 08:55 |
| Chaotic_Descent | sorta. I just want websites to think I'm in the USA. | 08:55 |
| trajan | gerhard: tried dvd::rip? | 08:55 |

| Chaotic_Descent | someone told me to use Tor because I asked how to get a working USA proxy, because none of the ones I'm finding seem to work. | 09:00 |
| avis | i'm sorry wiltonstone its a mystery to me, maybe somebody else knows | 09:01 |
| trajan | Chaotic_Descent: tor works pretty good | 09:01 |
| trajan | Chaotic_Descent: although really slowly | 09:01 |
| SELTERBEATS | Sweet | 09:01 |
| f3rr311 | any gurus on that have a minute | 09:01 |
| Chaotic_Descent | great. that site you gave me leads to more proxies that don't work. or I'm doing something wrong. | 09:01 |
| wiltonstone | avis, i had flash working a while ago, but since then i have made some changes, ill figure it out when I'm more sober thanks for the help | 09:01 |
| Chaotic_Descent | I know how to search for them. I just can't tell if any of them work. maybe I should get rid of this stupid proxy plugin and just do it straight to firefox. maybe the plugin is screwing up. | 09:02 |
| trajan | Chaotic_Descent: afaik tor only needs privoxy but i know jack and shit about ubuntu and how things work in it. i can say i have tor happily working on other distros | 09:02 |
| SELTERBEATS | Okay so this is the support channel, but are there support channels for dufferent categories or no? | 09:02 |

| Chaotic_Descent | I never understood the difference between the package manager and the add/remove programs. | 09:04 |
| trajan | jessica: portage is kinda nice | 09:04 |
| avis | Chaotic_Descent, sorry it should be in /etc/privoxy/config if i remember correctly | 09:05 |
| SELTERBEATS | Oh haha | 09:05 |
| jessica | so is apt (comming from ubuntu) | 09:05 |
| Flannel | Chaotic_Descent: add/remove is a simplified version of a package manager. | 09:05 |
| Flannel | Chaotic_Descent: It only shows a small subset of the programs available | 09:05 |
| Chaotic_Descent | guess I should just use the package manager all the time then. | 09:05 |
| avis | Chaotic_Descent, sudo apt-cache search string is very useful from the command line | 09:05 |
| Chaotic_Descent | that would explain why I can't FIND things in add/remove programs. | 09:06 |
| trajan | :> | 09:06 |
| trajan | jessica: i never got along with the debian way of doing things personally :P but it's a personal taste | 09:06 |
| jessica | ah ok | 09:06 |
| trajan | i've heard good things about apt/dpkg | 09:06 |
| avis | Chaotic_Descent, i dont use it very much myself however i think to see a broader range of things avilable you have to further define your software download preferences in the upper right drop down | 09:06 |
| trajan | what ever they call it :> | 09:06 |

| rand0m | what are all the window managers that work with ubuntu? so far i've tried gnome, xubuntu (what's the diff between xubuntu and kubuntu??), fluxbox, and enlightenment... any others ? | 09:42 |
| Rhorse | rand0m, what release are you wanting to install E17 on?\\\\\\\\\ | 09:42 |
| f3rr311 | 5460 frames in 5.0 seconds = 1092.000 FPS | 09:42 |
| Metatron_ | im having problems with ltsp-bild-client im on dial up and want to use ubunto iso as mirror it is mounted correctly but --mirror option to iso complains about not able to fetch Packages.gz for restircted folder, i use --extramirror to standard ubuntu repo and it cant fetch either, anyone seen this? | 09:43 |
| snadge | wtf happened to the linux-igd package? its vanished :( | 09:43 |
| presto | what do you have f3rr311 | 09:43 |
| rand0m | Rhorse, : i have ubuntu 8.04.. i just tried installing e17 and it says something about needing feisty.. whatever that is | 09:43 |
| laughtear | i can't find an application which i've installed by debian packager, anybody help? | 09:43 |
| nikolam | rand0m, Those are desktop environments. Window managers manage just windows, that`s it. | 09:43 |
| f3rr311 | ATI 9800 XT | 09:43 |
| f3rr311 | Raedon | 09:43 |
| rand0m | nikolam, okay whatever on terminology.. know any other desktop environments then ? | 09:43 |
| f3rr311 | KDE | 09:44 |
| presto | f3rr311 i think it should be higher | 09:44 |
| laughtear | help | 09:44 |
| LSD|Ninja | 1092fps seems low for a 9800XT... | 09:44 |
| Metatron_ | rand0m: xubntu uses kde i think , ive tried fluxbox , jwm and icewm on ubuntu they work but you are missing some of the gnome features that can make setup difficult, fluxbox jwm and icewm are all lite weight and use smaller amounts of resources | 09:44 |
| nikolam | rand0m, Difference in in what desktop environment is used by default and rest of management programs | 09:44 |
| Ayabara | when I add the medibuntu repository, it says it has updates for mplayer/skype/amarok and some others. should I install those? | 09:44 |
| f3rr311 | i know the driver for this card ora bit horrid and no help | 09:44 |
| Rhorse | rand0m, this site tells you how to do it: http://timony.com/mickzblog/2008/04/15/e17-on-ubuntu-revisited/ | 09:44 |
| Metatron_ | you might be missing a desktop too depending on the file manager you use, fluxbox for example doesnt support desktop icons | 09:44 |
| LSD|Ninja | f3rr311: even so, it should be higher | 09:44 |
| nikolam | rand0m, I use XFCE. And xfwm4 window manager. | 09:44 |
| laughtear | i ask for help ladies? | 09:44 |
| LSD|Ninja | I remember getting 3000-5000 on a 9500 Pro a few years ago | 09:44 |
| presto | ati has gotten alot better as of recent | 09:44 |
| rand0m | nice, thanks guys | 09:45 |
| Mango420 | Can anyone tell me how to add "www-data" to the GROUP under permissions? Thanks. | 09:45 |
| presto | i get almost 4k from a 9600xt | 09:45 |
| f3rr311 | ok | 09:45 |
| laughtear | this is the third time i have no response from here, did you improved a customer care service or somn' somewhere else | 09:45 |
| f3rr311 | i cant resrt my system so i cant remove the prop drivers from kubuntu menu | 09:45 |
| f3rr311 | lol | 09:45 |
| Metatron_ | rox is a nice filer manger to if you looking to for litghter weight componets, it has a pinboard that supports a desktop with icons, works well with flux jwm or icewm | 09:45 |
| laughtear | just need a hand because of (probably) rootkit damn viruses | 09:46 |
| f3rr311 | and i have nben asking to no avail | 09:46 |
| nikolam | rand0m, When you change Wm, Environment stays. For instance when you use compiz, that is done by just changing window manager, not environment | 09:46 |
| LSD|Ninja | The people with GeForce 4s were doing better but Linux performance wasn't why I bought the 9500 Pro so I didn't really care | 09:46 |
| Mango420 | !group | 09:46 |

| ikonia | fent: what version of ubuntu are you using | 10:41 |
| fent | umm 8.1 | 10:41 |
| CorpseFeeder | ikonia, I could do that, unfortunately I speak english and dmesg speaks gobbleygook - I don't know what any of the output means or what I am looking for. | 10:41 |

| ikonia | fent: so why is that anything to do with ubuntu ? | 10:42 |
| bazhang | fent then go to ##windows | 10:43 |
| ikonia | fent: why are you asking in an ubuntu support channel | 10:43 |
| fent | i just asked if anyone could get to the page | 10:43 |
| ikonia | fent: again - nothing to do with ubuntu | 10:43 |
| ikonia | fent: you work for an ISP, there must be a lot of networking/internet support there | 10:43 |
| fent | web pages have nothing to do with it? why are you making this difficult | 10:43 |
| ikonia | fent: and tools for diags | 10:43 |
| ikonia | fent: your question and support request has nothing to do with ubuntu or the ubuntu support community. | 10:44 |
| CorpseFeeder | ikonia, do you want me to pastebin my entire syslog and dmesg? | 10:44 |
| fent | i didnt ask for support just a simple can anyone get to the page | 10:44 |
| ikonia | fent: thats support | 10:44 |
| ikonia | fent: and yes, I can get there | 10:44 |
| fent | ok cool | 10:44 |
| fent | all i wanted to know | 10:44 |
| ikonia | CorpseFeeder: seems over kill, is there anything obvious in either | 10:44 |
| fent | not to argu with you | 10:44 |
| ikonia | fent: perhaps find a better generic support channel for that sort of request in future | 10:44 |
| fent | ook... | 10:45 |
| CorpseFeeder | ikonia, there is stuff which mentions 1394 in both, but nothing in either looks obvious to me. | 10:46 |

| f3rr311 | ati.amd.com | 10:49 |

| ikonia | f3rr311: I don't think thats the case, what was the issue with the packaged drivers ? what is your card | 10:51 |
| ikonia | f3rr311: just so your aware, the drivers shipped with ubuntu are the same ones from ati.amd.com - they are just tried and tested compatible versions, so the drivers you think "suck" so much, are actually ATI's drivers, so complain to them - not calling "kubuntu's drivers suck" | 10:52 |

| kushalsejwal | Hi friends | 10:59 |
| LSD|Ninja | Obi_Bong_Kedoobi: yeah, this sort of thing has always sucked in Linux. Ubuntu had it somewhat right in 7.10 but took a long, runny dump iver it in 8.04 | 10:59 |
| Obi_Bong_Kedoobi | LSD|Ninja: any known solutions? | 11:00 |
| Obi_Bong_Kedoobi | LSD|Ninja: i have a ATI HD 2400 XT | 11:00 |
| LSD|Ninja | Obi_Bong_Kedoobi: you'll probably end up having to manually screw around with xorg.conf :/ | 11:00 |

| Obi_Bong_Kedoobi | meh | 11:03 |
| CorpseFeeder | ikonia, yes, /dev/raw1394 is present | 11:03 |
| ikonia | Obi_Bong_Kedoobi: because it's bad language - you don't need to say it, as you said - so much wrong with the world - why use bad language | 11:03 |
| bumblebee | when i shall choose the partion under the isntallation it says that i only have 8 mb free space, but when i check my harddisc now i have 45 gb free space, anyone knows what the problem can be? | 11:03 |
| kushalsejwal | anybody there?? | 11:03 |
| LSD|Ninja | I find the bible bashing puritans more annoying than the bad language actually | 11:04 |
| ikonia | CorpseFeeder: that a good start, so the device is still there. Now Ive not used the application your using do I don't know if this is possible, but can you point your application at that device ? | 11:04 |
| Obi_Bong_Kedoobi | like i said, friend, like i said | 11:04 |
| Obi_Bong_Kedoobi | lol | 11:04 |
| ikonia | LSD|Ninja: and that is also not allowed in here, so not needed | 11:04 |
| Obi_Bong_Kedoobi | its all good | 11:04 |
| Obi_Bong_Kedoobi | lol | 11:04 |
| * Obi_Bong_Kedoobi agrees | 11:04 | |
| Almindor | is there a way to make gnome use "ionice -c 3" for disk operations (e.g: nautilus copying etc.) | 11:04 |
| * Obi_Bong_Kedoobi agrees with LSDNinja that is | 11:05 | |
| Obi_Bong_Kedoobi | he he | 11:05 |
| ikonia | Almindor: I don't know/think you can do that as default | 11:05 |
| erichammond | Upgrading from 7.04 to 7.10. It just installed libc6 and now everything freezes. I can ping, connect to ssh port, but nothing else. Ideas? | 11:05 |
| CorpseFeeder | ikonia, I don't know what you mean. I can point the camera at the computer, but I think that is just being silly. | 11:05 |
| Almindor | that's a shame, copying stuff from say NTFS really kills usability | 11:05 |
| Guest58086 | hi, I want to ask a question about how to user GtkTextBuffer in GTK. | 11:05 |
| === fReAkY[t] is now known as freaky[t] | ||
| * Obi_Bong_Kedoobi looks at the bo_g and remembers he has to go. "Peace be with you." | 11:06 | |
| Guest58086 | I want get the signed "changed" for GtkTextBuffer | 11:06 |
| ikonia | Almindor: I could well be wrong, but I can't see any option for it, that obvious, you may be able to do something from within gconf | 11:06 |
| bumblebee | when i shall choose the partion under the isntallation it says that i only have 8 mb free space, but when i check my harddisc now i have 45 gb free space, anyone knows what the problem can be? | 11:06 |
| joaopinto | Guest22370, you better search for a development channel | 11:06 |
| ikonia | CorpseFeeder: I mean tell the application to use that device file | 11:06 |
| Guest58086 | thank you | 11:06 |
| Almindor | ikonia, well.. if "nautilus" process was the author of the copying window process (and that one actually does the copying) then starting nautilus with ionice would be enough | 11:07 |
| cyb3r3li0g | #freebsd | 11:07 |
| joaopinto | bumblebee, free space inside of a defined partition is not the same as a space unallocated | 11:07 |
| CorpseFeeder | ikonia, No. that was my original problem I asked about. Nothing shows up under the ieee1394 tab in Kino, so I can't "point to" any device. | 11:07 |
| joaopinto | bumblebee, you need to shrink your existing partition so that space becomes unallocated, free for a new partition | 11:07 |
| bumblebee | joaopinto ok, how do i do that? | 11:08 |
| ikonia | CorpseFeeder: I don't have kino (it's a kde app is it not ?) so I can't explain to you any better, but basiclly is there a "device" menu in kino that you can say --> /dev/raw1934 | 11:08 |
| joaopinto | bumblebee, use manual partition during the installer.. selected your windows partition and resize it to a smaller size | 11:08 |
| ikonia | CorpseFeeder: the constant Jul 6 18:26:39 dalek-laptop kernel: [ 1267.460238] ieee1394: Node changed: 0-01:1023 -> 0-00:1023 | 11:09 |

| CorpseFeeder | ikonia, I have no idea. I am using gnome, and Kino and this same camera works faultlessly on my desktop PC with a PCI firewire card running hardy. | 11:09 |
| ikonia | thats quite a worry | 11:09 |
| Almindor | hmm damnit ionice is root only | 11:09 |
| ikonia | CorpseFeeder: ahh ok, so it's not a kde app, one moment then | 11:09 |
| Almindor | can't even start transmission with it automatically :( | 11:09 |
| avi_me | Hi . I have a program that is supported specifically for redhat , i managed to install it on ubuntu and it runs fine. only problem is with the gui , the menus are showing squares instead of text. when i run the same program on redhat , the menus are showing fine... can anyone direct me to a solution ? | 11:09 |
| ikonia | Almindor: ionice is a process control, its sensible that root owns that | 11:09 |
| joaopinto | Almindor, you can use ionice on a running process with -p | 11:10 |
| Almindor | ikonia, not for starting new process, doesn't make sense | 11:10 |
| joaopinto | avi_me, what program is that ? | 11:10 |
| ikonia | Almindor: yes for starting new proceses, %100 perfect sense | 11:10 |
| CorpseFeeder | ikonia, what does the "Node changed" thingies mean? Is that when I was turning the cam on and off and unplugging it/plugging it in? | 11:10 |
| avi_me | synopsys vcs-mx | 11:10 |
| ikonia | Almindor: why should you a normal user be allowed to ionice your stuff over someone elses | 11:10 |
| joaopinto | ok, no idea :P | 11:10 |
| bumblebee | joaopinto ive tried that, and i select the harddrive, choose fat32 or nts, then /windows and when i select ok it comes that somethings wrong, dont remember excactly what it says | 11:10 |
| Almindor | ikonia, 0% sense, if I have the right to execute the process then I have the right to make it use less disk | 11:10 |
| j1647 | hi | 11:10 |
| j1647 | guys | 11:11 |
| j1647 | how are u | 11:11 |
| ikonia | CorpseFeeder: in kino, in preferences under ieee can you select /dev/raw | 11:11 |
| joaopinto | !enter | j1647 | 11:11 |
| ubottu | j1647: Please try to keep your questions/responses on one line - don't use the "Enter" key as punctuation! | 11:11 |
| ikonia | Almindor: no, thats not how unix systems are designed | 11:11 |
| j1647 | ok | 11:11 |
| joaopinto | Almindor, you have rights over the process.. not over the entire disk I/O | 11:11 |
| joaopinto | because that is a shared resource | 11:11 |
| Almindor | ikonia, so a typical user won't be able to tweak his own processes because "that's not how linux is designed"? I can understand going to -c 1, but -c 3? | 11:11 |
| stapel | Can I have Visual Effect enabled for two users on the same host that are both logged in? | 11:12 |
| CorpseFeeder | ikonia, No. The entire preferences window is blank except for a drop down selection button which is empty of all devices | 11:12 |
| ikonia | Almindor: thats correct, a use can't tweak SYSTEM settings | 11:12 |
| Almindor | ikonia, going to -c 3 should be allowed for users, period | 11:12 |
| ikonia | CorpseFeeder: I'd make a guess then (just a guess) that your firewire bus has hung | 11:12 |
| j1647 | | | 11:12 |
| joaopinto | Al_Fuego, a user wont be able to tweak system resources.. because he doesn't own the system, which is pretty logical | 11:12 |
| joaopinto | ops, was Almindor | 11:12 |
| ikonia | Almindor: thats your opinion, the majority of the world would disagree | 11:12 |
| Almindor | no actually the majority of desktop users would agree, especially if they want gnome to not freeze every boot | 11:13 |
| ikonia | CorpseFeeder: I'm guessing (again just a guess) something to do with the quick sucession of active/suspend changes | 11:13 |
| ikonia | Almindor: nope - it's the way it is, because it works for the majority, however this isn't really an ubuntu issue to discss in here | 11:13 |
| f3rr311 | what type of fps shoukd i be getting fro fgl_glxgears | 11:13 |
| ikonia | f3rr311: depends on your system, the drivers, how compatible the drives are with your card/the system | 11:14 |
| joaopinto | Almindor, you need to learn something about Unix or operative systems in general.. the ionice utility is not related in any way to gnome | 11:14 |
| CorpseFeeder | ikonia, should I try hitting it? Sometimes that will fix firewire card problems.... doesn't it? | 11:14 |
| stapel | Can I have Visual Effect enabled for two users on the same host that are both logged in? | 11:14 |
| Almindor | joaopinto, I never said it was | 11:14 |
| ikonia | CorpseFeeder: may want to take a reboot - start again and see if the problem is identical | 11:14 |
| f3rr311 | 5343 frames in 5.0 seconds = 1068.600 FPS | 11:14 |
| joaopinto | Almindor, there may be an issue on the application side.. gnome/whatever that you are trying to resolve with an OS level tweaking | 11:14 |
| f3rr311 | 7286 frames in 5.0 seconds = 1457.200 FPS | 11:14 |
| Almindor | joaopinto, my point is that I should be able to automate starting a process with lower io priority as a user (higher is another thing) | 11:14 |
| ikonia | f3rr311: we don't need to see that | 11:14 |
| CorpseFeeder | ikonia, I have done the reboot thing several times already.... no luck. | 11:14 |
| joaopinto | Almindor, so your conclusion that ionice should be changed to help gnome users.. is pointless | 11:14 |
| f3rr311 | thats with the fglx from adept | 11:14 |
| ikonia | CorpseFeeder: and it behaves the same way | 11:14 |
| ikonia | CorpseFeeder: as in starts working but then drops out | 11:15 |
| Almindor | joaopinto, you assume too much | 11:15 |
| ikonia | Almindor: joaopinto I suggest this is not the best place to discuss this, perhaps take it to ubuntu-offtopic ? | 11:15 |
| j1647 | friends ! there is a turkish language's chat server ? | 11:15 |
| ikonia | !tr | j1647 | 11:16 |
| ubottu | j1647: Turk ubuntu kullanıcıları, Türkçe yardım ya da geyik için #ubuntu-tr hizmetinizde. | 11:16 |
| saschahl | joaopinto: his point is that ionice -c3 should be allowed as user just the same way "nice -n 19" is | 11:16 |
| j1647 | ok thanks | 11:16 |
| j1647 | D | 11:16 |
| j1647 | :D | 11:16 |
| CorpseFeeder | ikonia, No. It refuses to work at all. It only partially worked for a few moments when first I started to fiddle with it about an hour ago, then it stopped and won't come back at all. | 11:16 |
| stapel | Can I have Visual Effect enabled for two users on the same host that are both logged in? | 11:16 |
| f3rr311 | well im tring to get a issue fixed and i was told that this is the place to go | 11:16 |
| ikonia | stapel: sure | 11:16 |
| Almindor | saschahl, thank you, someone finally got it | 11:16 |
| ikonia | f3rr311: who told you what, and what is the issue | 11:16 |
| CorpseFeeder | ikonia, I am out of time. I have to go. Bye | 11:17 |
| stapel | ikonia: have you tried it? | 11:17 |
| Almindor | saschahl, my point about gnome was just an example of pretty logical usage (ionice transmission so it's torrent checking doesn't kill everything else) | 11:17 |
| f3rr311 | ATI drivers from kubuntu | 11:17 |
| ikonia | Almindor: you can make ionice setuid if you want | 11:17 |
| f3rr311 | adept | 11:17 |
| Almindor | yes, I'll have tro | 11:17 |
| ikonia | stapel: not directly no | 11:17 |
| bumblebee | joaopinto maybe i should mention that i share the harddisc with windows xp | 11:17 |
| ikonia | f3rr311: but what's the issue | 11:17 |
| Almindor | it's a 1 user desktop so.. :) | 11:17 |
| f3rr311 | Low fps | 11:17 |
| stapel | ikonia: it does not work for me | 11:17 |
| r0wr | asdf | 11:17 |
| ikonia | Almindor: the drivers are ati drivers, check the compatability with the drivers | 11:17 |
| ikonia | stapel: how is the second user using the desktop ? | 11:18 |
| Almindor | ikonia, wrong nick | 11:18 |
| ikonia | Almindor: sorry | 11:18 |
| Almindor | :) | 11:18 |
| stapel | ikonia: what do you mean? I do fast user switching between the two. | 11:18 |
| ikonia | f3rr311: the drivers are ati drivers, check the compatability of the drivers with your card on the ati website | 11:18 |
| ikonia | stapel: oooh I see | 11:18 |
| l815 | is there a way to install the most current transmission? | 11:18 |
| f3rr311 | they are comapatible | 11:18 |
| ikonia | stapel: I don't know how fast switching would effect that | 11:19 |
| ikonia | f3rr311: I didn't mean compatible, but check for known issues | 11:19 |
| ikonia | f3rr311: they are closed source drivers from ati.amd.com - so ubuntu can't change them or "fix" them | 11:19 |
| f3rr311 | well the driver in the synaptic are like 4 months old | 11:19 |
| ikonia | f3rr311: yes thats right | 11:19 |
| stapel | ikonia: Is that a bug perhaps? Where can I report it? | 11:19 |
| ikonia | stapel: launchpad.net | 11:19 |
| dusty | Hey guys I have an ubuntu server. If I leave an ssh connection from my home ubuntu desktop to my server I come back to it in the morning to find: Read from remote host stoned-hacker.co.uk: Connection reset by peer Connection to stoned-hacker.co.uk closed. how can I stop this from happening ? | 11:19 |
| joaopinto | f3rr311, if you need a newer driver you can use envygn, anyway for your card model the one available on the repositories should be fine | 11:20 |
| ikonia | dusty: most common - change the time out on your firewalls / isp's firewalls | 11:20 |
| j3tt | l815, which version of ubuntu are you using? | 11:20 |
| l815 | j3tt, hardy | 11:21 |
| dusty | ikonia, I don't run a firewall on my home box, and the server just has basic iptables firewall (which i've tested by keeping off ) and it still happens. | 11:21 |
| f3rr311 | i understand that but i cant top 100 fps on fgl_glxgears | 11:21 |
| f3rr311 | should be around 2000-4000 | 11:21 |
| l815 | j3tt, the version installed is 1.06 and on the website it's at 1.22 | 11:21 |
| ikonia | dusty: where is the server, on the same network or across the internet | 11:21 |
| f3rr311 | 1000 * | 11:21 |
| joaopinto | f3rr311, have you installed the fglrx driver ? | 11:21 |
| f3rr311 | Yes | 11:21 |
| j3tt | l815, doesn't the website have an updated .deb package? | 11:22 |
| joaopinto | f3rr311, have you checked that it is enabled form the glxinfo output ? | 11:22 |
| dusty | across the internet | 11:22 |
| dusty | at a datacentr | 11:22 |
| dusty | +E | 11:22 |
| f3rr311 | yes | 11:22 |
| ikonia | dusty: ok - so the ISP's going to have peremeter firewalls in front of them | 11:22 |
| l815 | j3tt, nope :/, i'll probably just compile from source | 11:22 |
| dusty | yeah and so will the DC. | 11:22 |
| dusty | ok i see what your saying, its out of my control. | 11:22 |
| joaopinto | l815, you can get the latest version from getdeb | 11:22 |
| ikonia | l815: what feature do you want from the later version | 11:22 |
| dusty | sucks | 11:22 |
| ikonia | dusty: contact your ISP/DC they may change it for specific hosts | 11:23 |
| l815 | joaopino, ahh i forgot about that site, thanks! | 11:23 |
| ikonia | dusty: I've had it changed many times, thats the point of firewalls | 11:23 |
| l815 | ikonia, it has built in ipfilters now | 11:23 |
| f3rr311 | its enabled and running | 11:23 |
| dusty | ikonia, i doubt my broadband ISP will the DC may. | 11:23 |
| dusty | so there will be no point if my BB ISP does not. | 11:23 |
| joaopinto | dusty, if you need to have a terminal session safe from the network drop you can use the utility "screen", that will allow you to resume the ssh session | 11:23 |
| ikonia | dusty: well, your ISP may have nothing to do with it, it may just be your DC peremter firewalls, so try it | 11:23 |
| ikonia | dusty: joaopinto's suggest is also excellent | 11:24 |
| joaopinto | dusty, also it maybe network issues not related to configuration, but just some peak outage | 11:24 |
| joaopinto | some ISPs are not that reliable for continuous connections | 11:24 |
| f3rr311 | also i have to keep running this sudo iwconfig wlan0 rate 54M for my rt2500 wireless card | 11:25 |
| LSD|Ninja | rt2500 :/ | 11:25 |

| f3rr311 | that hardest card to get to work lol | 11:26 |
| joaopinto | f3rr311, have you tried to install the driver from ATI's site ? If yes you may have caused some conflict with the repos driver.. your card should be supported without major issues by the current ubuntu repos drivers | 11:26 |

| LSD|Ninja | Shoopuf: set up a second machine as a file server :P | 11:31 |

| lance | i am unable to format that | 11:32 |
| ikonia | lance: whats the problem when you try ? | 11:32 |
| planetxmail | lance: format to what filesys? | 11:32 |
| lance | how do i find that | 11:33 |
| ikonia | lance: open "gparted" from the applications menu | 11:33 |
| Shoopuf | Thanks guys, BRB gonna make a FAT32 partition. :) | 11:33 |
| ikonia | lance: you can then select your disk and make a partition and add a file system | 11:33 |
| planetxmail | ya gparted is easiest appproach | 11:33 |

| audio_ | anyone? how to configure performance/dynamic settings on ubuntu? | 11:34 |
| planetxmail | u may need to install it | 11:34 |
| l815 | lance, open terminal and "sudo apt-get install gparted" | 11:34 |
| ikonia | lance: open synaptic from system -> administraton menu and search for gparted then install it | 11:34 |

| Muiske | ikonia: thanks, I'll try it! | 11:36 |
| l815 | ubuntu does what firefox is known for | 11:36 |
| ikonia | anna: grub doesn't touch your file system | 11:36 |
| caiqixian | 这个是什么东东阿 | 11:36 |

| ikonia | anna: what happens when you try to mount it ? | 11:37 |
| audio_ | nobody knows how to set cpu performance in ubuntu? or is it not possible at all? | 11:37 |
| l815 | if only Opera looked better under gtk :/ | 11:37 |
| ikonia | audio_: what do you mean by setup cpu perfomance | 11:37 |
| ikonia | audio_: your cpu will perform as good as it can | 11:37 |
| anna | anna: Well, it says it's not a valid NTFS | 11:37 |
| l815 | audio_, "sudo apt-get install cpufrequtils" in terminal | 11:37 |
| screenname57648 | how do you tinker with which drives it mounts when you startup? | 11:37 |
| f3rr311 | does anyone have a idea hot to make this run on kde startup | 11:38 |
| screenname57648 | other than by altering /etc/fstab? | 11:38 |
| anna | or that i must specify filesystem type | 11:38 |
| ikonia | anna: specify a file system type then, what file system is on it ? | 11:38 |
| audio_ | ikonia: well. to have it set on max cpu frequency or to have it scale dynamicly | 11:38 |
| anna | And the UUID seems gone. | 11:38 |
| sybux | Hi all. | 11:38 |
| f3rr311 | sudo iwconfig wlan0 rate 54M | 11:38 |

| caiqixian | What are you talking about ? | 11:38 |
| sybux | I'm looking a simple method to add statistic on my apache 2 website. | 11:38 |
| f3rr311 | awstats | 11:39 |
| planetxmail | awstats | 11:39 |
| anna | ikonia: You think it only killed a boot sector or something like that, right? | 11:39 |
| screenname57648 | why doesn't vi work on hardy? | 11:39 |
| f3rr311 | LOL | 11:39 |
| sybux | thx | 11:39 |
| audio_ | l815: and then? | 11:39 |
| ikonia | anna: yes, it should only write to the mbr - nothing more | 11:39 |
| screenname57648 | loll | 11:39 |
| anna | ikonia: A partition has a MBR too? | 11:39 |
| ikonia | screenname57648: it works fine | 11:39 |
| ikonia | anna: sort of | 11:39 |
| ikonia | anna: what disk was it ? | 11:39 |
| anna | ikonia: Cause I did install to the partition | 11:39 |
| ikonia | anna: as in what device | 11:39 |
| planetxmail | MBR is on the first disk first partiton that is only 512 bytes | 11:39 |
| screenname57648 | ikonia: no it doesn' | 11:40 |
| anna | ikonia: /dev/sda1 | 11:40 |

| screenname57648 | what package is it in? | 11:40 |
| ikonia | anna: what does "sudo fdisk -l /dev/sda" show | 11:40 |
| l815 | audio_, http://www.thinkwiki.org/wiki/How_to_use_cpufrequtils | 11:40 |
| ikonia | screenname57648: it's called vim | 11:40 |
| ikonia | screenname57648: vi is a symlink to vim | 11:40 |
| Kaja | Shoopuf, it's in the admin menu. | 11:40 |
| trumbun | hi, I wish to install Ubuntu using the System Wubi. My current system is setup with Windows Xp and Fedora 9. | 11:40 |
| lance | i installed gparted | 11:40 |
| anna | ikonia: That one looks unchanged, still NTFS partition | 11:40 |
| screenname57648 | what happens when you go to insert mode and use the cursors? | 11:40 |
| trumbun | Is it possibil to use Wubi since I don't wish to partion againg the hard drive | 11:40 |
| lance | what is the next step | 11:40 |
| l815 | lol wow i didnt know you get a preview of songs when hovering over them | 11:40 |
| Shoopuf | Kaja: Thanks, it was called "Partition Editor" in the Administration menu. :) | 11:40 |
| caiqixian | I try it a few days ago. | 11:41 |
| l815 | that's awesome :D | 11:41 |
| bazhang | trumbun, yes | 11:41 |
| ikonia | anna: so thats a reasonable sign, so just sudo mount -t ntfs /dev/sda1 /mnt | 11:41 |
| audio_ | l815: thx. 2 bad it is not graphical like in kde | 11:41 |
| trumbun | since i use grub as the boot loader | 11:41 |
| l815 | audio_, np, kde does have a lot of those types of advantages | 11:41 |
| bazhang | screenname57648, /join #vim | 11:41 |
| screenname57648 | thx bazhang but it's ubuntu - specific | 11:42 |
| caiqixian | Use wubi to install system | 11:42 |
| ikonia | screenname57648: whats the problem with vim ? | 11:42 |
| screenname57648 | ikonia: as I said, press i then use cursors | 11:42 |

| ikonia | screenname57648: I think your wrong | 11:43 |
| screenname57648 | I may be wrong | 11:43 |
| lance | i installed the gparted but i am unable to see that on system tools | 11:43 |
| l815 | screenname57648, you can use screenlets | 11:43 |
| screenname57648 | ok well I'll check that | 11:43 |
| Johnny_5 | i only get sound from 1 of my 2 speakers instead of stereo sound....is there a way 2 modify esd so i have stereo sound again?? | 11:43 |

| screenname57648 | matter of opinion as to whether its' broke | 11:45 |
| screenname57648 | I think it is | 11:45 |
| l815 | lance, it should be called "Partition Editor" | 11:45 |
| ikonia | lance: it's in application | 11:46 |
| l815 | wow major dejavu ;o | 11:46 |
| ikonia | screenname57648: no - it's not, it's behaving to spec | 11:46 |
| lance | no i don't find that under applications | 11:46 |
| l815 | lance, did you check under "Administrator" | 11:46 |
| screenname57648 | ikonia: lol that's not an excuse. | 11:46 |

| screenname57648 | bazhang: could you explain what screenlets is? I read your description but it's a cryptic gobblegobble | 11:47 |
| screenname57648 | vi is meant to be a usable text-editor | 11:47 |
| screenname57648 | vi is meant to provide users with helpful functionality | 11:47 |
| l815 | screenname57648, a screenlet is like a widget kinda | 11:47 |

| idk-- | soundray: will any ide cable work? | 13:00 |
| Dr_willis | x3, make it if it dosent exist | 13:00 |
| soundray | Pizarro3: normally, the VPN setup should handle all this for you. | 13:01 |
| Dr_willis | x3 ~.gnome/nautilus-scripts according to the guide. | 13:01 |
| x3 | ah lemme check | 13:01 |
| Pizarro3 | soundray, I got this meesage: Cannot determine ethernet address for proxy ARP | 13:01 |
| Pizarro3 | soundray, is that important? | 13:01 |
| x3 | thx dr-willis Ill give that a go | 13:01 |
| soundray | idk--: no, it has to have 80 leads and be compliant with a specification I forget the name of -- ATA133 perhaps? | 13:02 |
| soundray | Pizarro3: yes | 13:02 |
| idk-- | soundray: what does the floppy drive ide cable have? | 13:02 |
| soundray | Pizarro3: do you recognize the IP you get as typical for your work network? | 13:02 |
| idk-- | soundray: or are they different | 13:02 |
| soundray | idk--: it won't even fit (34 leads) | 13:02 |
| idk-- | soundray: oh ok | 13:03 |
| idk-- | soundray: well ill try that when i can get a cable. thx for your help | 13:03 |
| soundray | idk--: before you go... | 13:03 |

| soundray | idk--: do you have an IDE hard disk drive? | 13:03 |
| idk-- | soundray: yes | 13:03 |
| Pizarro3 | soundray, I don't understand. When I use the Netork Utility and choose the eth0 a still geting my local ip (192.168.2.101) | 13:03 |
| === yacc__ is now known as yacc | ||
| soundray | idk--: disconnect it, connect the new CD drive in its place, and try to boot a Live CD. | 13:04 |
| soundray | idk--: at least you will know that your new CDROM is working. | 13:04 |
| idk-- | soundray: yeh. ok ill try that | 13:04 |
| ubunubi | is there that much filesystem overhead for ext3?..my hd is benchmarking at around 68mb/s..but file copies in nautilus are running at about 23MB/sec...any suggestions or numbers for comparison? | 13:05 |
| idk-- | soundray: do i have to switch the cords on the motherboard, or can u even do that | 13:05 |
| soundray | Pizarro3: don't look at the eth0 one -- I think VPN creates a ppp0 device, that's the one you should look at. | 13:05 |
| soundray | idk--: I would just disconnect it at the hard disk drive and connect that end to the CD-ROM. | 13:06 |
| idk-- | soundray: ok | 13:06 |
| idk-- | soundray: thx | 13:06 |
| Pizarro3 | soundray, you're right, looking at ppp0 I can see my "local" ip as the one whitin my work place network | 13:06 |
| Calaaro1 | Hi all. I can't seem to get the sound to work in the VLC player. And the video is all pixellated. Not the encoding kind of pixellation, more of the overlay kind, but it's not the overlay thing, I disabled that. | 13:06 |
| soundray | Pizarro3: can you ping any address on your work network? | 13:07 |
| === hot_noodles is now known as Fenix | ||
| Pizarro3 | soundray, Yes I pinged 2 of them and I got pong | 13:07 |
| soundray | Pizarro3: excellent | 13:07 |
| soundray | Pizarro3: can you list their shares with 'smbclient -L ipaddress'? | 13:08 |
| Pizarro3 | soundray, I'm going to try that using a console, just a second | 13:08 |
| Pizarro3 | soundray, I got this: Connection to ipaddress failed (Error NT_STATUS_BAD_NETWORK_NAME) | 13:09 |

| Flux-D | Can anyone tell me how to change a lilo.conf so I can install grub? | 13:09 |
| Flux-D | !lilo | 13:10 |
| ubottu | lilo is an alternative [Li]nux Boot[Lo]ader. Note: it is recommended that you use GRUB on Ubuntu instead. | 13:10 |
| Flux-D | !grub | 13:10 |
| ubottu | grub is the default Ubuntu boot manager. Lost grub after installing windows: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/RecoveringUbuntuAfterInstallingWindows - Making GRUB floppies & other GRUB howtos: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/GrubHowto | 13:10 |
| soundray | Pizarro3: you should substitute ipaddress with the IP address of one of the machines that you know are up (sorry, I thought that was clear) | 13:10 |
| Pizarro3 | soundray, sorry me! that's was really silly from me | 13:10 |
| soundray | Pizarro3: what are you doing anyway, connecting to work on a Sunday ;) | 13:11 |
| idk-- | soundray: it was the cable | 13:12 |
| soundray | idk--: good, at least you don't have to send the drive back :) | 13:12 |
| idk-- | soundray: yep lol | 13:12 |
| Pizarro3 | soundray, the question is that I don't know which is the IP of the resources name, I just know the names of the shares.. | 13:13 |
| soundray | Pizarro3: but you said you had pinged two of them... ? | 13:13 |
| idk-- | soundray: i am just looking for an 80 lead ide cable right? | 13:14 |
| Anon6651 | can anybody help me I'm a newbie and i get the grub error 21 --- please | 13:14 |
| soundray | Pizarro3: just do 'smbclient -L 123.45.67.89' or whatever the IP is | 13:14 |
| Pizarro3 | soundray, yes I did randomly but for example, we have ashared drive called "software", I don't know which is the IP for that folder, you know what I mean? | 13:14 |
| pharo | greetings... somehow medibuntu seems to be down... is that correct ? | 13:14 |
| soundray | idk--: yes, see if you can manufacture one from a telephone cable | 13:15 |
| erUSUL | pharo: that's what i see too | 13:15 |
| soundray | idk--: (I'm not serious) | 13:15 |
| pharo | erUSUL: any known details ? | 13:15 |
| idk-- | soundray: lol | 13:15 |
| Anon6651 | error 21? anyone? | 13:15 |
| erUSUL | pharo: nope | 13:15 |
| soundray | Pizarro3: okay, you need to find out what the IP or hostname is of the server that shares "software" | 13:15 |
| soundray | Pizarro3: just try the two addresses that you know and see if "software" is listedd | 13:16 |
| Pizarro3 | soundray, ok | 13:16 |
| Anon6651 | thanks anyhow | 13:16 |
| soundray | Anon6651: you need to bring a *little* bit of patience | 13:17 |
| CostaRicanQuaker | help, i need to install flash to see youtube | 13:17 |
| Dr_willis_ | grub error 21 - can not find disk | 13:17 |
| Pizarro3 | soundray, is there any way to ping to all the computers from x.x.x.0 to x.x.x.255 automatically? | 13:17 |
| CostaRicanQuaker | and i dont know how | 13:17 |
| soundray | CostaRicanQuaker: 'sudo apt-get install flashplugin-nonfree' | 13:17 |
| soundray | Pizarro3: yes, 'ping -b x.x.x.255' (it's called broadcasting) | 13:18 |
| CostaRicanQuaker | !pastebin | 13:18 |
| ubottu | pastebin is a service to post multiple-lined texts so you don't flood the channel. The Ubuntu pastebin is at http://paste.ubuntu.com (make sure you give us the URL for your paste - see also the channel topic) | 13:18 |
| CostaRicanQuaker | soundray: http://paste.ubuntu.com/25421/ | 13:19 |
| soundray | Pizarro3: note, however, that machines can be configured to respond to direct pings, but not to broadcast pings. | 13:19 |
| Pizarro3 | soundray, I have response to 3 of them | 13:19 |
| CostaRicanQuaker | still mozilla isn't playing youtube vids | 13:19 |
| soundray | CostaRicanQuaker: restart firefox then | 13:19 |
| soundray | Pizarro3: try them all in turn with smbclient -L | 13:19 |
| NudaCris | com | 13:20 |
| Pizarro3 | soundray, the first one says: Connection to 10.10.10.25 failed (Error NT_STATUS_CONNECTION_REFUSED) | 13:20 |
| soundray | Pizarro3: it's better to be refused than ignored ;) | 13:20 |
| Pizarro3 | soundray, the second one, asked me for my password and once done, says: session setup failed: NT_STATUS_INVALID_COMPUTER_NAME | 13:20 |
| CostaRicanQuaker | soundray: nothing happened, is there a way to manually install it like on windows by clicking where it says get the latest flash player or whatever? | 13:21 |
| soundray | Pizarro3: just hit Return on the password prompt | 13:21 |
| Pizarro3 | soundray, the third one says: Connection to 10.10.10.30 failed (Error NT_STATUS_CONNECTION_REFUSED) | 13:21 |
| Dr_willis_ | flash not working.. is a different problem then flash not being installed. :) | 13:21 |
| Dr_willis_ | flash is got to be the #1 pain on linux these days | 13:21 |
| Pizarro3 | soundray, you are right! I just hit return and I got all the shares! | 13:21 |
| CostaRicanQuaker | Dr_Willis: what must i do to fix the problem? | 13:22 |
| soundray | CostaRicanQuaker: yes, but let's check first what happened to your installation. Do a 'sudo updatedb' (that'll take a minute to update the file index) | 13:22 |
| Pizarro3 | soundray, those drives names I was taling about are there, in the second cmputer | 13:22 |
| Pizarro3 | soundray, but now what? why can't I see this through my network places? | 13:22 |
| soundray | Pizarro3: use Places-Connect to Server now | 13:23 |
| soundray | Pizarro3: put the IP address where it asks for the server | 13:23 |
| gunny17 | hello all. | 13:23 |
| kushalsejwal | Hi friends!! | 13:23 |
| Pizarro3 | soundray, and in shared I have to put the name of the folder, right? | 13:24 |
| CostaRicanQuaker | soundray: nothing happened, i typed sudo updatedb into the prompt and nothing changed | 13:24 |
| mumbles | is mediauntu.org down for people ? | 13:24 |
| soundray | CostaRicanQuaker: it has worked than. Now, do a 'locate libflashplayer' and pastebin the output pls | 13:24 |
| kushalsejwal | When I open any windows NTFS drives from ubuntu I always see 3 folders which are hidden in windows | 13:24 |
| CostaRicanQuaker | how do i do that? | 13:25 |
| CostaRicanQuaker | sudo locate libflashplayer ? | 13:25 |
| soundray | Pizarro3: I'm not sure actually :( | 13:25 |
| kushalsejwal | RECYCLER,System Volume Information, and $RECYCLE.BIN | 13:25 |
| zaggy-nl | CostaRicanQuaker, just locate libflashplayer should work | 13:25 |
| kushalsejwal | if I rename and put "." before their name | 13:25 |
| zaggy-nl | sudo update shouldn't give any info if it updated succesfully | 13:25 |
| soundray | CostaRicanQuaker: type L O C A T E... and so on | 13:25 |
| kushalsejwal | would that create any problem in windows? | 13:25 |
| soundray | CostaRicanQuaker: all lowercase please | 13:25 |
| zaggy-nl | *updatedb | 13:25 |
| weng | anybody | 13:26 |
| kushalsejwal | can anybody answer my query? | 13:26 |
| Dr_willis_ | kushalsejwal, leave those alone - is the best advice. | 13:26 |
| Pizarro3 | soundray, no way, it doesn't let me in | 13:26 |
| soundray | Pizarro3: doesn't even ask for a password? | 13:26 |
| kushalsejwal | Dr_willis: that mean I should not rename them | 13:26 |
| kushalsejwal | ?? | 13:26 |
| CostaRicanQuaker | soundray: nothing happens | 13:27 |
| CostaRicanQuaker | it just gives me the prompt again | 13:27 |
| Pizarro3 | soundray, that's why, it asks me for a password, but When I write it it doesn't accept it | 13:27 |
| soundray | kushalsejwal: you'll create problems in Windows if you do | 13:27 |
| gunny17 | Can anyone tell me the best channel for a newbie Ubuntu/ Linux participant in IRC to hang out on for general info? | 13:27 |
| soundray | CostaRicanQuaker: you haven't misspelled or anything? locate libflashplayer | 13:27 |
| kushalsejwal | okay so I would leave then | 13:28 |
| Pizarro3 | soundray, it always shos as domain: WORKGROUP | 13:28 |
| CostaRicanQuaker | nope | 13:28 |
| CostaRicanQuaker | i just copied and pasted | 13:28 |
| CostaRicanQuaker | soundray | 13:28 |
| soundray | CostaRicanQuaker: then the flashplugin-nonfree package hasn't worked. Let's remove it completely and try again. Run 'sudo apt-get --purge remove flashplugin-nonfree' | 13:28 |
| soundray | CostaRicanQuaker: when that's gone through, do a 'sudo apt-get install flashplugin-nonfree' and pastebin the output pls | 13:29 |
| kushalsejwal | I have installed wine. now if I want to try a game setup what should I write in terminal??? | 13:29 |
| Pizarro3 | soundray, it doesn't recognize my passowrd | 13:29 |

| soundray | Pizarro3: and it's not something obvious, like caps lock or a typo? | 13:30 |
| kushalsejwal | ??? | 13:31 |
| zhaozhou | Anyone know what to do with the mktemp/coreutils block? | 13:31 |

| * soundray wonders where all his coffee went | 13:31 | |
| zhaozhou | Oh, wrong channel. | 13:31 |
| soundray | CostaRicanQuaker: yes | 13:31 |

| delfick | hello, I just installed some new hardware in my computer and I've loaded up a livecd but gparted doesn't see any of my SATA harddrives (bios does see them), anyone know anything I could do.. ? :) | 13:32 |

| soundray | Pizarro3: it could be, but I don't know enough about Windows networking to help you with that | 13:32 |

| Pizarro3 | soundray, you know, in Wind I just click on "map network drive" and then I write : //servername/share name and that's it | 13:33 |
| kushalsejwal | guys help me too :( | 13:33 |
| Pizarro3 | soundray, is there any tool to scan the netrwork at a glance? to see al the computers connected, their network name, etc? | 13:33 |
| soundray | Pizarro3: you could try bypassing the gnome vfs and mount it on the command line: | 13:33 |
| CostaRicanQuaker | soundray: didnt work :( | 13:34 |
| benn1 | kushalsejwal: cd to the setup. then type wine $Setupname.exe | 13:34 |
| Pizarro3 | soundray, because I still wondering why I can't see the computers in may network places? | 13:35 |
| soundray | Pizarro3: 'sudo mount -t cifs -o user=pizarro3,pass='your password' //server-ip/sharename /mnt' | 13:35 |

| kushalsejwal | What should I write in terminal if I want to try a game's setup from a DVD thru Wine in ubuntu | 13:36 |

| soundray | CostaRicanQuaker: was there nothing about it downloading the .tar.gz? | 13:38 |
| CostaRicanQuaker | soundray: thats all that showed up | 13:38 |
| soundray | CostaRicanQuaker: it hasn't downloaded the plugin as it should. | 13:39 |
| CostaRicanQuaker | soundray: is it because i-m on dapper? | 13:39 |
| CostaRicanQuaker | soundray: will it be easier if i upgrade to hardy? | 13:40 |
| Metatron | ive been trying and trying to use ltsp-build-client with an iso file of ubuntu as a mirror, does it make a difference that i am using a mounted .iso file and not the actual CD? the CD has issues in this machine. is there some kinda security causing my foul up? | 13:40 |
| soundray | CostaRicanQuaker: I don't know -- I would have expected it to work in dapper. I do think that upgrading is a good idea, though, if you have enough space and follow the upgrade instructions | 13:41 |
| edson | somebody use emulator for neo geo? or XGngeo? | 13:41 |

| soundray | CostaRicanQuaker: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/HardyUpgrades scroll down to section 1.3 | 13:43 |
| penguincentral | bloodrock: there used to be a preferences window | 13:43 |
| penguincentral | right? | 13:44 |

| CostaRicanQuaker | upgrade to for ubuntu servers? | 13:46 |
| CostaRicanQuaker | i-m not on a server | 13:46 |
| bloodrock | penguincentral, they took it out but you can install system-config-samba | 13:46 |
| soundray | CostaRicanQuaker: no, I said 1.3 | 13:46 |
| soundray | CostaRicanQuaker: Upgrade from 6.06 LTS to 8.04 LTS | 13:46 |
| CostaRicanQuaker | oh | 13:46 |
| CostaRicanQuaker | # Make sure the "dapper-updates" software channel is enabled. | 13:47 |
| CostaRicanQuaker | # Be sure that you have all updates applied before you upgrade. | 13:47 |
| CostaRicanQuaker | how do i do that? | 13:47 |
| soundray | Pizarro3: that's the question you should ask the channel, and mention that you can ping hosts on the VPN | 13:47 |
| bloodrock | penguincentral, get it from synaptic package manager or apt-get | 13:47 |
| soundray | CostaRicanQuaker: FOLLOW THE INSTRUCTIONS | 13:47 |
| penguincentral | bloodrock: ok | 13:47 |

| efdeee | hi, im using ubuntu on a device with a low resolution (eee) and i was wondering where to disable the setting that keeps me from moving windows up when the titlebar is already at the top of the screen | 13:50 |
| efdeee | (some windows just wont fit and i like to press OK buttons ;) | 13:50 |
| Dr_willis_ | efdeee, you can hold-alt and click anywhere in the window , and drag them past. normally from anyehere in the window | 13:51 |
| soundray | efdeee: are you on compiz or gnome? | 13:51 |
| Pizarro3 | soundray, yes you're right | 13:51 |
| efdeee | soundray: both | 13:51 |
| efdeee | Dr_willis_: thats what im trying but it blocks once the titlebar hits the top | 13:51 |
| soundray | efdeee: :) sorry | 13:51 |
| soundray | efdeee: are you on compiz or metacity? | 13:52 |

| ctx144k_ | hmm, i see in htop many /usr/sbin/console-kit-daemon prozesses | 13:53 |
| efdeee | soundray: restart required after changing gconf settings? | 13:53 |
| ctx144k_ | why i have so many prozesses of that? | 13:53 |
| soundray | Pizarro3: it's a difficult one. It's strange that it seems to be using your local hostname somehow. You might try asking on ubuntuforums | 13:53 |
| Pizarro3 | one question, Is there anyway to use remote desktop from Ubuntu to the one that Win offers? | 13:53 |
| soundray | efdeee: no | 13:53 |
| ctx144k_ | and how can i reduce that | 13:53 |

| apinunt | Ubuntu 7.01 - I started to copy about 16 small .ave files to a 4GB memory stick and after it began to copy the 7th file I received a warning message "unsafe to remove" message. The LED on the memory stick has continued to flash, although it is not making any progress on copying the files and the cancel button does nothing. I also have a USB hard drive mounted and notice that it's icon has... | 13:57 |
| apinunt | ...now disappeared. How can I unmount and remove the memory stick? | 13:57 |
| efdeee | my gf got me one actually | 13:57 |
| Pizarro3 | Guys, I'm trying to get rid of XP in my computer, that's why I have to find solution for two important things: a) be able to map network drives that are on Win servers (work place), b9 be able to connect to remote XP desktop XD | 13:57 |
| SuperLag | efdeee: soundray: good battery life? | 13:57 |
| efdeee | superlag: so-so, but apparently there's a really good replacement battery for 40 pounds or so | 13:57 |
| soundray | SuperLag: no. I've ordered a 6600 mAh battery | 13:58 |
| efdeee | yes, that one | 13:58 |
| SuperLag | interesting | 13:58 |
| incorrect | hello, does anyone run trac 0.11 on hardy? | 13:58 |
| SuperLag | I've never had good battery life with Linux, in any case, on any laptop. :/ | 13:58 |
| joaopinto | Pizarro, a) Places -> Connect to server, b) Applications -> Internet -> Remote Desktop Viewer | 13:58 |
| bloodrock | Pizarro, might try here for helphttp://www.aeonity.com/frost/howto-windows-xp-vpn-into-remote-location | 13:58 |
| joaopinto | I meant, Pizarro3 | 13:58 |
| soundray | SuperLag: it's got much better recently, though | 13:59 |
| kyncani | apinunt: you may look into umount -l | 13:59 |
| joaopinto | Pizarro3, both are trivial features | 13:59 |
| soundray | SuperLag: I get two hours, can't really complain since it's only a 4400 mAh battery | 13:59 |
| mumbles | ok mediaubuntu is back up | 13:59 |
| efdeee | my eee gets superhot tho | 13:59 |
| SuperLag | efdeee: ouch. that's not good. | 13:59 |
| soundray | efdeee: mine isn't too bad, but the fan whines | 14:00 |
| Pizarro3 | joaopinto, the first one doesn't work for me, soundray and I have een for a hour trying to make it work..the second one I'm going to test it | 14:00 |
| apinunt | kyncani: Command not found. | 14:00 |
| efdeee | soundray: i think mine is passively cooled | 14:00 |
| holger | hallo | 14:00 |
| efdeee | soundray: i dont hear/see a fan | 14:00 |
| soundray | efdeee: it was mentioned on eeeuser.com that some come without one | 14:01 |
| kyncani | apinunt: it's a root command, so use sudo and add a correct path if needed | 14:01 |
| efdeee | soundray: i dont mind the heat as long as it doesnt melt... | 14:01 |
| apinunt | kyncani: I tried both with and without and get "command not found" | 14:01 |
| Pizarro3 | joaopinto, I have a VPN connection that works properly, I can ping the hosts on it, but I can't see them in my network places, and somehow, the systems still using my local host name instead fo the one thet the VPN gives me | 14:01 |
| Pizarro3 | joaopinto, any ideas? | 14:02 |
| soundray | efdeee: what frequency does cat /proc/cpuinfo report on yours? | 14:02 |
| joaopinto | nope, i have no experience with VPN | 14:02 |
| Pizarro3 | joaopinto, that's the point, I use VPN to access our network drives .. XD | 14:02 |
| efdeee | 630 | 14:03 |
| efdeee | i heard its actually 900 but underclocked | 14:03 |
| efdeee | im a bit weary of changing it tho | 14:03 |
| Pizarro3 | Hey guys, SOMEHOW, the desktop connection is workin fine for me now with the VPN connection! | 14:03 |
| soundray | efdeee: I've been wondering that. Mine runs at the full 900. | 14:03 |
| Pizarro3 | But whay I can't map the units???? | 14:03 |
| efdeee | soundray: i heard the 100mhz fsb runs at 66 or so for the 701 model | 14:04 |
| soundray | efdeee: yes -- I wouldn't change it on yours if it's already hot | 14:05 |
| joaopinto | Pizarro3, you could try to manually smbmount ... | 14:05 |
| kyncani | apinunt: umount is /bin/umount | 14:05 |
| === theking is now known as TheKiNG|Linux | ||
| soundray | joaopinto: we tried with mount -t cifs ( pizarro3) | 14:06 |
| joaopinto | ah ok | 14:06 |
| Pizarro3 | joaopinto, yes tha't another issue, when I try that, I get: sudo: unable to resolve host chakir-desktop | 14:06 |
| Pizarro3 | , where chakir-desktop is the name of my computer (local) | 14:06 |
| soundray | joaopinto: that's where the local hostname comes in and spoils it somehow | 14:07 |
| efdeee | soundray: its not like im going to use it to play games or something anyways.. 600 is ok atm | 14:07 |
| Metatron | ive been trying for two weeks to use build client offline atm it seems to be building. the only difference was i used an actual CD in the CD drive rather than mount and point to an iso with --mirror, anyone know why that would mater? some security thing maybe? | 14:07 |
| joaopinto | Pizarro, erm. add the name into /etc/hosts ? | 14:07 |
| Metatron | ltsp-build-client that is | 14:07 |
| joaopinto | i mean Pizarro3 | 14:07 |
| SANDHI | kiki | 14:07 |
| Pizarro3 | joaopinto, let me check it, just a second | 14:07 |
| gokhan_ | sa aga | 14:07 |
| joaopinto | Pizarro, gksudo gedit /etc/hosts | 14:08 |
| soundray | efdeee: I use one particular program where the controls are hidden because of the lack of height | 14:08 |
| kyncani | apinunt: an easy solution would be to unplug your usb devices, plug them again, remove partially copied files and start the transfer again. But I would "umount -l" them first. | 14:08 |
| Pizarro3 | joaopinto, what name should I add? my VPN ip? | 14:08 |
| soundray | efdeee: I'll try to enable a higher virtual resolution -- not sure if the intel driver supports it, but worth a shot | 14:09 |
| apinunt | kyncani: I'm sorry, poor eyesight, and I was typing unmount -l, and reading the man page it says the device cannot be unmounted if it is busy which it appears to be. | 14:09 |
| efdeee | soundray: using the XP display driver you can rotate the screen 90 degrees | 14:09 |
| efdeee | wonder if theres something like that for linux as well | 14:09 |
| joaopinto | Pizarro, no, your desktop name: chakir-desktop, which should be associated with 127.0.0.1 | 14:09 |
| soundray | efdeee: xrandr | 14:09 |
| Pizarro3 | joaopinto, I have this in hosts: 127.0.1.1 chakir-desktop.[DOMAIN NAME] | 14:09 |
| efdeee | *makes a note* | 14:09 |
| apinunt | kyncani: The sudo umount -l command only returned a usage message. | 14:09 |
| joaopinto | append chakir-desktop (without the domain name) | 14:10 |
| Pizarro3 | Where in DOMAIN NAME is the name of my company, and I hidden it for security reasons | 14:10 |
| joaopinto | append it to the existing line | 14:10 |
| Pizarro3 | joaopinto, soryy I don't catch you, what do you mean with "append it" with the existing line? | 14:11 |
| joaopinto | erm, I mean, thatt line should be 127.0.1.1 chakir-desktop.[DOMAIN NAME] chakir-desktop | 14:11 |
| sajuuk | hey guys how do i see my detected hardware (ram, vga and such)? | 14:12 |
| LSD|Ninja | sajuuk: lshw or dmidecode | 14:12 |
| kyncani | apinunt: -l *is* a valid umount option with linux. Anyway, just unplug the damn devices. | 14:12 |
| apinunt | kyncani: I unplugged the pen drive, and all my desktop icons have disappeared, although the programs that were running seem to still be running. | 14:12 |
| nerdygirl | my hardware drivers tab states that my ATI driver is installed but my xorg.conf states otherwise | 14:12 |
| sajuuk | thx dude | 14:12 |
| Pizarro3 | I can't execute the sudo command, whenever I do it ti says: sudo: unable to resolve host chakir-desktop | 14:13 |
| Pizarro3 | I need to get in root mode to change hosts file | 14:13 |
| joaopinto | nerdygirl, have you enabled the the restricted driver from the hardware drivers dialog ? | 14:13 |
| SANDHI | jhj | 14:13 |
| apinunt | kyncani: Can I get my Desktop icons back without stopping any programs running? | 14:13 |
| soundray | nerdygirl: ignore xorg.conf . Check glxinfo and glxgears | 14:13 |
| joaopinto | Pizarro3, please add the hostname into /etc/hosts, I already explained that | 14:14 |
| kyncani | apinunt: yeah, start nautilus | 14:14 |
| nerdygirl | yes, the restricted driver is enabled from the hardware driver tab | 14:14 |
| joaopinto | nerdygirl, or from the terminal: glxinfo | grep direct | 14:14 |
| Pizarro3 | joaopinto, yes I know, but to change the content for that file I have to be root, an dto change to root, I need to execute sudo right? | 14:14 |
| Amelia_cute | hi | 14:14 |
| nerdygirl | says enabled and in use | 14:14 |
| Amelia_cute | need help here | 14:14 |
| joaopinto | Pizarro, gksudo /etc/hosts | 14:14 |
| apinunt | kyncani: I'm quite new, is there a command for that? | 14:14 |
| === erle64- is now known as erle- | ||
| kyncani | apinunt: nautilus is the app that shows directories, so open something in the places menu. Nautilus is also the thing that draws desktop icons | 14:15 |
| joaopinto | I believe gksudo unlike sudo does not check for the hostname | 14:15 |
| soundray | nerdygirl: it's all fine, then. See if glxgears reports a decent framerate | 14:15 |
| Amelia_cute | how to adjust screen resolution in ubuntu...i bought a new monitor yesterday and cannot setting to 1024x768 | 14:15 |
| Pizarro3 | joaopinto, nothing happened | 14:15 |
| zhaozhou | !resolution | Amelia_cute | 14:15 |
| ubottu | Amelia_cute: The X Window System is the part of your system that's responsible for graphical output. To restart your X, type « sudo /etc/init.d/?dm restart » in a console - To fix screen resolution or other X problems: http://help.ubuntu.com/community/FixVideoResolutionHowto | 14:15 |
| zhaozhou | Um, no. That's wrong. | 14:15 |
| joaopinto | Pizarro3, ok, so you are out of luck, you will need the live cd to fix your hosts file | 14:15 |
| Armada | playing embeded video in firefox on ubuntu either through flash or totem is a bit buggy as it often kills all audio | 14:15 |
| nerdygirl | my resolution right now is 640x480 and there isn't an option to change it!! | 14:16 |
| standhila | i have some problem with my polipo+firefox | 14:16 |
| standhila | can anyone help | 14:16 |
| zhaozhou | Oh, no, wait, it were right. At least the last part. ;-) | 14:16 |
| Pizarro3 | joaopinto, actually this is a WUBI installation | 14:16 |
| sajuuk | nerdygirl: go to system>preferences>screen resolution | 14:16 |
| efdeee | ok, going back to music festival now | 14:17 |
| efdeee | soundray: thanks for the advice :) | 14:17 |
| LSD|Ninja | sajuuk: that one sucks, it should die | 14:17 |
| joaopinto | Pizarro, well. you should be able to get into it anyway.. doing a loopback mount from the livecd | 14:17 |
| soundray | efdeee: enjoy | 14:17 |
| sajuuk | really? | 14:17 |
| apinunt | kyncani: I tried Home Folder, Desktop, and Computer and nothing appears. | 14:17 |
| joaopinto | I believe wubi disk files are just loopback images of the FS | 14:17 |
| nerdygirl | there i have only 1 resolution: 640x480, nothing else | 14:17 |
| Pizarro3 | joaopinto, but I installed this yesterday, what could be wrong? I cant even cnagne the system files | 14:17 |
| joaopinto | otherwise you will need to read the WUBI FAQ | 14:17 |
| zhaozhou | nerdygirl, Prepare to get yourself inte most common, and also most beginner-scary problem in whole GNU/Linux. | 14:17 |
| === SANDHI is now known as ce_strezz | ||
| sajuuk | im gonna sit and listen on this resolution problem | 14:18 |
| sajuuk | although im quite fine with it | 14:18 |
| nerdygirl | coffee in hand, waiting.. | 14:18 |
| joaopinto | Pizarro3, someone (presumably you) provided an improper hostname on /etc/hosts | 14:18 |
| soundray | zhaozhou: are you talking about the page on fixing video resolution? | 14:18 |
| eviking5 | Why can't I access my mySQL from other computers on my network? | 14:18 |
| LSD|Ninja | Setting your resolution, refresh rat and aspect ratio shouldn't be this hard. Why the hell is it taking so long? | 14:18 |
| joaopinto | Pizarro3, if it was not your with a manual change to a network setting.. then it is a bug with the wubi installer | 14:18 |
| soundray | zhaozhou: it doesn't seem to have been updated for hardy | 14:18 |
| joaopinto | Pizarro3, the .[DOMAIN] was not expected on that /etc/hosts line | 14:18 |
| E70DX | a | 14:19 |
| E70DX | a | 14:19 |
| soundray | nerdygirl: see if you can configure your display properly with 'gksudo displayconfig-gtk' | 14:19 |
| nerdygirl | your saying i should give up and go back to windows? | 14:19 |
| sajuuk | zhaozhou: if you think setting resolution is bad, try doing that with a wacom.... that was fun | 14:19 |
| kyncani | apinunt: you can run "nautilus" from a terminal, or there may be a run command thing in the menu somewhere, maybe alt-f2 | 14:19 |
| zhaozhou | soundray, I think it should apply to all ubuntu releases, but i don't run ubuntu myself... | 14:19 |
| sajuuk | nerdygirl: nah, its just a problem faced by many | 14:19 |
| soundray | zhaozhou: agreed | 14:19 |
| Amelia_cute | i use sudo /etc/init.d/?dm restart | 14:20 |
| Pizarro3 | joaopinto, OK I got it, I did: gksudo nano /etc/hosts | 14:20 |
| Amelia_cute | cannot also | 14:20 |
| zhaozhou | sajuuk, I'm quite familiar with the xorg.conf now, don't think it will be any problems right now. But, i get your point. (: | 14:20 |
| Amelia_cute | to adjust my screen resolution | 14:20 |
| sajuuk | heheh | 14:20 |
| sajuuk | i spent 2 days fixing the mess on that xorg file | 14:20 |
| apinunt | kyncani: I just googled and found alt F2 and nautilus -q, although that did not work. | 14:20 |
| joaopinto | Pizarro, you were to successfully change it ? | 14:20 |
| sajuuk | i learnt a lot, but i felt really sick afterwards | 14:20 |
| zhaozhou | Amelia_cute, Don't run that. Just check the link. (: | 14:20 |
| nerdygirl | OH i see, i need to add these resolutions to the driver, but where is it? | 14:20 |
| Amelia_cute | how to adjust it? | 14:20 |
| soundray | Amelia_cute: please try to configure your new display with 'gksudo displayconfig-gtk' | 14:20 |
| LSD|Ninja | nerdygirl: you need to set custom modelines in xorg.conf | 14:20 |
| zhaozhou | nerdygirl, In xorg.conf, located at /etc/X11/xorg.conf | 14:21 |
| zhaozhou | LSD|Ninja, No need for modelines | 14:21 |
| zhaozhou | LSD|Ninja, I hate those. | 14:21 |
| Pizarro3 | joaopinto, I were successful to open the file with root rights, but I can't write | 14:21 |
| joaopinto | Pizarro3, so still without out luck, you can't sudo/gksudo :( | 14:21 |
| sajuuk | modelines? | 14:21 |
| LSD|Ninja | zhaozhou: I hate the whole idea of xorg.conf | 14:21 |
| zhaozhou | LSD|Ninja, I love it. (-: | 14:21 |
| sajuuk | wait on, what is the whole idea of xorg.conf? | 14:21 |
| soundray | LSD|Ninja: modelines are a very last resort ( sajuuk, nerdygirl) | 14:22 |
| zhaozhou | sajuuk, What you need to define is 1. horisontal refresh rate of you're screen, and 2. vertical refresh rate of your screen. | 14:22 |
| Pizarro3 | joaopinto, wel amyway I don0t understand it, I've just installed the wubu yesterday, no changes on it, and I can't open files like root?=?=?== | 14:22 |
| zhaozhou | Then it will do the rest itself. | 14:22 |
| joaopinto | Pizarro3, what hostname have you provied when asked by wubi ? | 14:22 |
| zhaozhou | sajuuk, xorg.conf is the configuration file for X. | 14:22 |
| joaopinto | was it desktop-blah or desktop-blah.domain ? | 14:22 |
| kyncani | apinunt: hmm, just reboot the box i guess. If you often have this kind of usb malfunction, you can use the "umount -l" command, google for "umount -l" to have some howto/tutorial/... | 14:22 |
| Pizarro3 | joaopinto, I wasn't asked for a host name...Only for my name | 14:23 |
| zhaozhou | sajuuk, That was wrong. Horisontal _SYNC_, and vertical refresh. | 14:23 |
| joaopinto | Pizarro3, like I said.. probably a bug with wubi, which is odd because I did not have that issue | 14:23 |
| sajuuk | and what's so bad/good about the xorg.conf? | 14:23 |
| apinunt | kyncani: I just tried sudo killall nautilus and that did not work either, so I guess I will have to kill my running programs and reboot the system. | 14:23 |
| kyncani | apinunt: linux not handling usb plug/unplug gracefully is a curse ... | 14:23 |
| Pizarro3 | joaopinto, I understand that, but Why I can't turn into root rights? | 14:23 |
| zhaozhou | sajuuk, I can myself define my own way of having my X server made up. (: | 14:23 |
| nerdygirl | well, it can't find a driver in that folder | 14:24 |
| joaopinto | sajuuk, nothing bad.. except that it shouldn't exist at all ... anyway that conversation will go better in #ubuntu-offtopic | 14:24 |
| zhaozhou | sajuuk, You can disable/enable ANYTHING, have any video card run any kind of setup anyhow anywhere! I love it! | 14:24 |
| soundray | nerdygirl: see if you can configure your display properly with 'gksudo displayconfig-gtk' | 14:24 |
| joaopinto | Pizarro3, because getting root right depends on sudo, and sudo checks if your hostname is properly set.. which is not on your case | 14:24 |
| Pizarro3 | pfff | 14:24 |
| eviking5 | Why can't I access mySQL from other computers on my network? | 14:24 |
| LSD|Ninja | I used to be able to run through xf86config with my eyes shut back in the day, but it should be as simple as moving a slider these days. I mean Windows has had this capability for 15 years, why is it still so difficult in Linux? | 14:24 |
| joaopinto | Pizarro3, you will need a livecd to fix it | 14:24 |
| sajuuk | sigh, now u make me feel as if i shouldnt talk about it :p, why shouldnt it exist? It seems logical for it to exist? | 14:25 |
| zhaozhou | eviking5, Listen variable? | 14:25 |
| nerdygirl | ok, rebooting, cross my fingers | 14:25 |
| eviking5 | zhaozhou, where? | 14:25 |
| Amelia_cute | how to adjust screen resolution???? | 14:25 |
| joaopinto | eviking5, because by default mysql is bind to the localhost address. please check your mysql.cnf | 14:25 |
| apinunt | kyncani: I agree, and hope that will improve quickly as I also have problems with external hard drives ocassionally and tire of having to check them on a WinXP system to get them to work again. | 14:25 |
| soundray | Amelia_cute: please try to configure your new display with 'gksudo displayconfig-gtk' | 14:25 |
| zhaozhou | sajuuk, Haha. (-: | 14:25 |
| zhaozhou | eviking5, The mysql configuration file. | 14:25 |
| Pizarro3 | joaopinto, I have a Knopix live, | 14:25 |
| eviking5 | joaopinto, can I just add more binding addresses? | 14:25 |
| joaopinto | Amelia_cute, you already got the answer, several times.. please proceed and provide some feedback | 14:25 |
| joaopinto | Pizarro3, it should be sufficient | 14:25 |
| sajuuk | what was that channel? #ubuntu-offtopic? | 14:25 |
| LSD|Ninja | dislayconfig-gtk is the good one, though for some retarded reason it wasn't updated proeprly for hardy | 14:26 |
| Amelia_cute | cannot joaopinto | 14:26 |
| mcf3782 | Has anyone on here ever installed Ubuntu on a Dell Inspiron 8100? I'm trying to do that, and running into some problems. I could use some help. | 14:26 |
| zhaozhou | eviking5, You can bind it to your external drive, or any drive, but not $N specific NICs | 14:26 |
| apinunt | kyncani: I'll end all my running processes and restart my system now, and thanks for your help. | 14:26 |
| Pizarro3 | joaopinto, so I have only need to edit hosts file and add what? again chakir-host at the end of the line? | 14:26 |
| joaopinto | eviking5, you should bind to ALL, or to your specific IP, please read the conf instructions | 14:26 |
| kyncani | apinunt: np, look into the umount -l command though | 14:26 |
| eviking5 | ok, cheers. | 14:26 |
| Pizarro3 | joaopinto, I don't uinderstan what should be the server name that sudo is expecting? | 14:26 |
| joaopinto | zhaozhou, you mean addressed, not drive :P | 14:26 |
| kyncani | apinunt: (for next time) | 14:26 |
| joaopinto | Pizarro, the name it expects is the hostname.. without the .domain part | 14:26 |
| zhaozhou | joaopinto, Ah, yes. Sorry. (: | 14:26 |
| soundray | mcf3782: describe the problems, one at a time | 14:26 |
| Pizarro3 | joaopinto, in fact, I don't need even a live, I can restart in XP and do it from there | 14:26 |
| soundray | Amelia_cute: how are you getting on? | 14:27 |
| apinunt | kyncani: Will do and thanks again. | 14:27 |
| joaopinto | Pizarro3, I don't think you can access your WUBI disk image from XP | 14:27 |
| Pizarro3 | joaopinto, ok, I'm restarting with KNopix | 14:27 |
| Pizarro3 | see you in some minutes | 14:27 |
| joaopinto | ok | 14:28 |
| mcf3782 | I've downloaded the 8.04 ISO and burned it to disk. It boots with no probelm, but when I get to the disk partitioning point; it's identifying the internal hard drive as "sda". I can't seem to partition an "sda". | 14:29 |
| mcf3782 | Every other distribution I've ever loaded identifies this drive as "hda". | 14:29 |
| Scrosson | My sound has stoped working, and i keep having problems with realplayer and sound working for a video then next time sounds gone. | 14:29 |
| Kokos | hi! i have enabled logging on UFW. Does anybody know what is a path to this logfile? | 14:29 |
| soundray | mcf3782: it's just a name. All drives are identified as sd* rather than hd* now | 14:30 |
| mcf3782 | This same hardware has had FC4, Knoppix, and Gentoo loaded, so I feel pretty sure that the hardware is kind of linux compatable | 14:30 |
| Amelia_cute | soundray : same situation | 14:30 |
| joaopinto | mcf3782, what is the specific problem that you have when partitioning ? | 14:30 |
| Amelia_cute | i got 400x600 cannot change to 1264x768 | 14:31 |
| soundray | mcf3782: just use the installer's partitioner | 14:31 |
| |aspire| | hello | 14:31 |

| x3 | it is a support issue | 14:33 |
| joaopinto | |aspire|, it depends on the java version you have installed | 14:33 |
| soundray | |aspire|: to get a listing of files in an installed package, run 'dpkg -L packagename' | 14:33 |
| babolat | How do you add more space for your nautilus bookmarks so that you have all bookamarked locations in Places (Instead of having to go to Places > Bookmarks > Location) ? | 14:34 |

| soundray | x3: I've missed it. Sorry, I don't know. Repeat your question in 15 minutes or so when new people have logged on. Try to present your issue unemotionally | 14:39 |

| mcf3782 | I found a couple of references online that suggest booting with the 'noapic' and 'nolapic' flags from the F6 menu. I have those selected (meaning they have an 'x' by them). But it doesn't seem to have changed the "Boot Options" line that's displayed on the bottom of the screen. Is this normal/correct? | 14:49 |
| wweasel | Quick advice: What partition type can be mounted R/W in Linux and in OS X, and can carry large (>2GB) files (therefore not FAT32)? | 14:49 |
| wweasel | Wait, only needs to be writable in Linux. Can be RO in OSX | 14:50 |
| soundray | paul555: do you have more than one hard disk? | 14:50 |

| hiptobecubic | ShackJack, can you play yahoo games? because i cannot. | 14:51 |
| soundray | paul555: what happens sometimes is that ubuntu installs grub on what it thinks is the first hard disk drive in the system, but your BIOS thinks otherwise. I think that's what's happened here. | 14:51 |
| ShackJack | wweasel: There is an O/S implimentation of ext2 for OSX | 14:52 |
| edmond | hello any1 can help | 14:52 |
| ShackJack | hiptobecubic: I haven't tried.... I just go to Yahoo com to find them? | 14:52 |

| wweasel | ShackJack: Above mentioned HFS (not +) as being RW in Linux. Trying that. Then NTFS. | 14:53 |

| ubottu | VMWare Player is in Ubuntu's !Multiverse repository (package "vmware-player", only for Feisty and Edgy), and http://www.easyvmx.com/easyvmx.shtml can create VMs for it. Instructions can be found at https://help.ubuntu.com/community/VMware - See also !virtualizers | 14:54 |
| soundray | mcf3782: I don't know, but you can add them manuall on the command line instead to be sure. | 14:54 |
| wweasel | edmond: 'sudo chown USERNAME FOLDERNAME' | 14:54 |

| gnomefreak | nibsa1242b: not a good idea switching between them so please set up different profiles | 14:56 |

| gnomefreak | nibsa1242b: most of the bugs that are left are compatiblilty issues with compiz and profile/extension issues | 14:57 |
| ryanakca | soundray: yes, but I then need to do the depends of the depends, and the depends of the depends, etc. And I still wouldn't know which ones come by default / aren't pulled because they are already installed. | 14:58 |
| nibsa1242b | gnomefreak: do you have a guide to where I can set up different profiles? | 14:58 |
| spezticle | that DID work... but didn't solve the problem :) i need to install my nvidia drivers and im guessing i have to boot to a command line or exit out of X all together? | 14:58 |

| tux | hi guys i wanted to know how to reconfigure my xserver | 15:05 |
| soundray | ryanakca: on the machine where you need it, run 'apt-get -y -s --print-uris build-essential' and create a download script from the output. You can then download the files on another machine, e.g. with 'wget -i downloadscript' | 15:05 |
| soundray | tux: what for? | 15:06 |
| spezticle | soundray i opened that menu, there isn't anything in it. | 15:06 |
| gnomefreak | tux: sudo dpkg-reconfigure xserver-xorg | 15:06 |
| gnomefreak | or add -phigh in there | 15:06 |

| komputes | magnetron: well I very well can't open a network with WEP if it has know security flaws | 15:07 |
| hiptobecubic | #firefox | 15:07 |
| soundray | nibsa1242b: I'm not sure, sorry | 15:07 |
| magnetron | komputes, if you really need WPA then you should get yourself a cheap router. | 15:07 |
| ShackJack | ilya00567885: Blender is pretty gosh-darned "serious" :P | 15:07 |
| ryanakca | soundray: and if I said I didn't yet have access to said machine? (it's a live CD for my mum's laptop... in Ottawa) | 15:07 |
| nibsa1242b | soundray: its ok, I just didn't see an option down there for Pulse, hopefully things work properly | 15:07 |
| * soundray is a former ultrasound researcher, not a sound expert | 15:07 | |

| WinterWeaver | maek: I havent seen that option in Hardy, it was available in Gutsy though | 15:08 |
| komputes | magnetron: i have one, but that is not my goal, this leads me to believe, why doesn't this work on ubuntu? | 15:08 |

| magnetron | komputes, it's possible to do it in ubuntu as well. there are no instructions or simple installs for it, though. if you need wpa, use your router or take the time to implement it in ubuntu. good luck. | 15:12 |

| perlsyntax | Dr_willis, is there a fronend to it? | 15:21 |
| magnetron | daYZman, practically, yes | 15:21 |
| jerheij | does anyone know how i can boot with the "noapic acpi=off" command? | 15:21 |
| LSD|Ninja | Peter_Swinkels: you need write access for deletion so that's normal | 15:21 |
| Peter_Swinkels | Oh I can delete files. I can't move them to the trash. | 15:21 |
| daYZman | magnetron, so basically, everything in synaptic? | 15:21 |
| magnetron | daYZman, yes | 15:21 |
| ShackJack | jerheij: I think you just push esc into GRUB then add those to the boot options line... (you can change there to do perminantly as well) | 15:22 |
| aguitel | how create cd audio with mp3 files in ubuntu ? | 15:22 |
| jerheij | how can i change perminantly? | 15:22 |

| daYZman | magnetron, is there a way to select everything in synaptic? | 15:22 |
| army | aguitel: start "brasero" | 15:22 |
| jerheij | if i change it itll go back at next boot SnackJack | 15:22 |
| perlsyntax | ? | 15:22 |
| magnetron | daYZman, you can save yourself some disc space by just installing the packages you actually want | 15:23 |
| nuno_nunes | Hi ppl | 15:23 |
| aguitel | army ;brasero get me error | 15:23 |
| ShackJack | aguitel: And the error is....? | 15:23 |
| dirtbag666 | (btw: Bluetooth is working fine ^^) | 15:23 |
| army | daYZman: you can't install everything at the same due to dependency conflicts also you need a lot of discspace since there are about 18.000+ or 23.000+ packages if I'm not mistaken | 15:24 |
| nibsa1242b | gnomefreak: sry went afk for a min, don't know if I saw all your messages... got something about the page for how to install pluse, was that it? | 15:24 |

| jerheij | shackjack? | 15:24 |

| jerheij | ill try that, im in GUI in linux now =) | 15:24 |
| Nutzebahn | Hello. Could someone tell me how many lines of code Ubuntu 8.0.4 contains? | 15:25 |
| ShackJack | jerheij: sudo gedit /boot/grub/menu.1st ;) | 15:25 |
| magnetron | Nutzebahn, no | 15:25 |
| ShackJack | Nutzebahn: I doubt it... | 15:25 |
| Nutzebahn | What about 7.10? | 15:25 |
| army | aguitel: sudo apt-get install gstreamer0.10-fluendo-mp3 | 15:26 |
| ShackJack | Nutzebahn: Ubuntu is a collection of many open source projects maintained by thousands of different people ... so it's likely no accurate estimate exists | 15:26 |
| magnetron | Nutzebahn, you don't even know what you are asking | 15:26 |
| jerheij | is that the bash command shackjack? | 15:26 |
| ShackJack | magnetron: Maybe it's for a trivia question :) | 15:26 |
| nibsa1242b | Nutzebahn: you'd have to figure out how many lines of code each application contained, that would be quite time consuming. | 15:26 |
| ShackJack | jerheij: Yes, so you can edit that file as root user... | 15:26 |
| magnetron | ShackJack, i guess | 15:26 |
| jerheij | and how do i save after change? | 15:27 |
| ShackJack | jerheij: Just be certain you are appending the right parameters... | 15:27 |
| gnomefreak | nibsa1242b: yes | 15:27 |
| ShackJack | jerheij: It's gedit - a GIU program should be pretty evident :) | 15:27 |

| jerheij | wazzup gekaapie >_< | 15:28 |
| ShackJack | jerheij: I don't know what you mean "it doesnt matter"... | 15:28 |
| army | aguitel: brasero uses gstreamer and you need the mp3-module. brasero is also the application shipped and maintained by gnome so its a safe option to choose | 15:28 |
| soundray | ryanakca: sorry, I haven't managed to crack this yet and will have to adjourn now | 15:29 |

| lochru | im going slightly mad trying to get the lastest broadcom drivers for my wireless to work >.< | 15:29 |
| jerheij | that the fact im using vmware for ubuntu isn't a problem... | 15:29 |
| ShackJack | army: Is that the same reason perhaps my Sound Juiceer doesn't include MP3 as a selectable option in output format (though it lists in edit profiles but doesn't add) | 15:29 |
| ShackJack | jerheij: I don't know what you're referring to - using gedit? using bash? be specific... | 15:30 |
| army | ShackJack: yes and also rhythmbox | 15:30 |
| ShackJack | army: Were you referring to the gstreamer plugins or a different module? | 15:30 |
| aguitel | army: ShackJack ,the error in brasero is:Session error : the drive can't be locked (ongoing burning process) (brasero_burn_record burn.c:2270) | 15:30 |
| nibsa1242b | Nutzebahn: why don't you get download all of the source for the programs that are on the live cd; then use some kind of random statistical method to come up with a sample group, figure out the aprox # of lines of code per MB, and then you'd have an estimated # of lines of code. | 15:31 |

| Rhorse | when my friend uses apt-get on his 8.04 machine, it works but it keeps trying to configure evolution and throwing up dependency errors related to configuration. Is there any way to have dpkg ignore the configuration of the package? | 16:49 |
| army | CostaRicanQuaker: yes 1 coder on hurd versus say 800 on linux at the same time | 16:49 |
| army | CostaRicanQuaker: hurd has a lot features needed for the future | 16:50 |
| army | CostaRicanQuaker: compare hurd with Sun Solaris running all applications in Java | 16:51 |
| CostaRicanQuaker | what desktop environment does gnewsense use? and if it's based on ubuntu why isn;t it official? | 16:51 |
| === fserve_ is now known as fserve | ||
| army | CostaRicanQuaker: gnewsense uses gnome, but ubuntu tries to get people to linux and they do a damn good job | 16:52 |
| arun_ | LSD|Ninja: but a projct was thr on google summer code abt reiserfx | 16:52 |
| LSD|Ninja | gnewsense kinda sounds like nuisanse :P | 16:52 |
| CostaRicanQuaker | technically speaking, could one install gnewsense and have KDE on it? | 16:52 |
| LSD|Ninja | "A free as in freedom GNU/Linux distribution, that takes all the non-free blobs out of a rather popular distribution." <- will definitely be a nuisance then | 16:53 |
| === rubydiam_ is now known as rubydiamond | ||
| joaopinto | CostaRicanQuaker, it is not official because there are plans to make a gnewsense alike option on the ubuntu installation | 16:53 |
| army | arun_: reiserfs is not the path to go since kernel developers are not willing to maintain it. even novell is dropping it | 16:53 |
| texwiller1969 | cioa | 16:53 |

| tv7497 | bazhang: sir well very time my ddclient starts during boot up it gives an error message to edit something true in certain folder in etc any help sir ? | 16:55 |
| army | CostaRicanQuaker: just use ubuntu with only main and universe it covers mainly what gnewsense is about | 16:55 |
| CostaRicanQuaker | LSD|Ninja: why would that be a nuisance? | 16:55 |
| arun_ | oh!!! | 16:55 |
| arun_ | so u ppl r saying ext3 is the best filesytem | 16:55 |
| arun_ | right? | 16:55 |
| tv7497 | bazhang: sir you there ? | 16:55 |
| joaopinto | CostaRicanQuaker, yes | 16:55 |
| CostaRicanQuaker | 5 years you'd say? | 16:56 |
| joaopinto | arun_, yes. it is the recommended default | 16:56 |
| LSD|Ninja | CostaRicanQuaker: Installing a distro with no binary blobs and then screwing about trying to get those same binary blobs up and running manually would be a pain in the rear end | 16:56 |
| army | arun_: ext3 for now, yes or you must be willing to experiment with ext4 (only handy with larger file systems) | 16:56 |
| Rhorse | m-c, ok, so you mean do a sudo apt-get --reinstall install evolution? | 16:56 |
| army | LSD|Ninja: can you tell me why you need blobs? | 16:57 |
| tv7497 | Myrtti: little bit help :) | 16:57 |
| Myrtti | tv7497: hum? | 16:57 |
| joaopinto | armorial, LSD|Ninja your conversation should go to #ubuntu-offtopic | 16:57 |
| CostaRicanQuaker | LSD|Ninja: so that means it would be less userfriendly for the windows user who's just switching to linux like myself? | 16:57 |

| m-c | Rhorse: Is it not installed now? Sounded like It was not. Either way, yes, uninstall and re-install. | 16:59 |
| joaopinto | ah.. and some paths on the config maybe pointing to the other user's home dir | 16:59 |
| bullgard4 | dmesg prints the line: "[ 0.000000] ACPI: PM-Timer IO Port: 0x1008." What does 'PM' stand for? | 16:59 |
| Janeux | joao thanks, and gconf and other gnome also will be fine???? | 16:59 |
| tv7497 | Myrtti: few lines back addressing you ?? didnt you get that ? | 16:59 |
| CostaRicanQuaker | joaopinto: would you say five years for gnewsense to be an option within ubuntu? | 16:59 |

| m-c | You're welcome. Go ahead and ask your questions, Pithecantropus | 17:12 |
| Enselic | unop: well it doesn't actually; GIMP 2.12 is a later version than GIMP 2.4, so it should not be interpreted as a decimal number | 17:12 |
| tv7497 | Myrtti: okieee thanx for help | 17:12 |
| Pithecantropus | I'm new to Open Source and I really like the whole philosophy behind it | 17:12 |

| Enselic | unop: same goes for Blender, Linux and all other programs I can think of | 17:13 |
| Condoulo | m-c, I wasn't asking how to install it. =/ I was more or less asking how the new beta 2 of flash 10 runs on Linux (since flash performance with Flash 9 is horrid) | 17:13 |
| m-c | Condoulo Flash Player is tied into the Ubuntu operating system and the Firefox web browser, although the software is closed and so it is not as well supported as the open source applications within Ubuntu. | 17:14 |

| Pithecantropus | anyway, last night I tried setting up Ubuntu Studio on an Athlon 64 4000+ socket 939 pc, on a chaintech zenith vnf4 ultra mobo, with 1gb ddr 400 RAM, a gigabyte 6600GT, a soundblaster audigy and roughly 320gb hdd. | 17:14 |
| Pithecantropus | (of which 50gb are free on one hdd unit, and 30 are on another) | 17:15 |
| Enselic | unop: 2.6.18 > 2.6.2 | 17:15 |
| Pithecantropus | the system is running winxp sp2 | 17:15 |
| Enselic | unop: so same there | 17:15 |
| unop | Enselic, i believe it was 2.6.02 back then | 17:15 |
| Krepta | how does it make sense to use 2.4 and then use 2.14? To confuse the enemy? | 17:15 |
| Shift1186 | got a question about sound... When i have music playing in VNC or any other music program for that matter... Sykpe and other programs dont seem to be able to play sounds. I know this was a hardware problem back in the day of the orginal Soundblaster. Anyone know how to fix this? | 17:15 |
| Pithecantropus | and I planned on installing it on one of the partitions... | 17:15 |
| Shift1186 | and i meant VLC.. not VNC :p | 17:15 |

| unop | Enselic, not really :) i don't perform any arithmetic on these numbers | 17:17 |
| Pithecantropus | thing is, I couldn't get either Ubuntu Studio AMD64 or Ubuntu (both Hardy) to install. Alternate install takes forever (literally), and I could install Ubuntu via live cd as a "part of windows", but it simply takes forever to boot into the OS. In fact, I just reset the machine and go into windows, so I'm not sure if it boots at all. | 17:17 |

| CWii | ompaul, Don't feed trools. | 17:25 |
| cjc | what? | 17:25 |
| hiptobecubic | Enselic, he's right i think. if they call it 2 dot 4 then it's 2 dot 4. What i'm saying is i've never known anyone to refer to version numbers that way so it seems likely that they don't either. | 17:25 |
| CWii | tolls* | 17:25 |
| m-c | rubydiamond: It could be that GRUB cannot find the boot partition | 17:25 |
| iskin | The reason it would be called 2 point 4 instead of 2 dot 4 is because it is a decimal point. | 17:25 |
| CWii | I hate this keyboard... | 17:25 |
| Xavura | it hates you too | 17:25 |
| ompaul | cjc, you are offtopic what point are you trying to make? | 17:26 |
| CWii | I know | 17:26 |
| rubydiamond | m-c: what is then solution? | 17:26 |
| ragsagar | yes Xavura | 17:26 |

| noah_ | i can get flash to work, just not videos | 17:26 |

| Xavura | err youtube videos are flash | 17:26 |

| ompaul | cjc, then please be quite, unless you are (A) looking for ubuntu help or (B) giving ubuntu help this is a support channel for Ubuntu | 17:26 |
| ragsagar | Xavura: i think u have to load appropriate module | 17:27 |
| Xavura | ragsagar: I don't know how | 17:27 |
| unop | iskin, but the dot is not always a decimal point incase you missed out part of the discussion | 17:27 |
| cjc | all right | 17:27 |

| noah_ | what i mean is that i can see all flash but flash movies | 17:27 |
| Xavura | err formats? | 17:27 |
| iskin | unop, with number it's a decimal point w/ text it is a period when ending a sentence and a dot when it's something like a web address. | 17:27 |
| Xavura | what does that have to do with a usb device | 17:28 |
| m-c | rubydiamond: Might try checking /boot/grub/menu.lst to ensure it is correct. Also, there is a grub repair tool on the liveCD. Lastly, you can always resort to a fresh install, after backing up /home, if needed. | 17:28 |
| cjc | how could i free the fish? | 17:28 |

| bobbob1016 | Pithecantropus, Normal Ubuntu installs don't go in "Add/Remove Programs" on XP, just Wubi. Also, I'd say to try a 32bit, and see if that takes forever. 64bit has come a long way, but isn't 100% yet, or so I've heard. | 17:57 |

| unohu | alphaman1101: its always best to check with wine ar cadega forum | 17:58 |
| Pithecantropus | bobbob1016: then it might just be a compatibility issue I think.. it's the only thing that would make sense to me | 17:59 |
| Pithecantropus | NetTroller: I did. there's hardly any info on it | 17:59 |
| bobbob1016 | Pithecantropus, That makes sense. 64bit might not have a driver for it, and 32bit would. Just a thought. | 17:59 |

| Pithecantropus | genii: meaning trying Feisty now, which I've never done as this is my first ever -and failed- linux install, would probably not work either | 18:07 |
| WalloO | thebishop, using fat32 may be the best thing to do | 18:07 |
| thebishop | WalloO, i can rw as root now that journaling is disabled | 18:08 |
| Pithecantropus | genii: I swear man, it's all murphy's fault. | 18:08 |
| thebishop | but ubuntu mounts it such that my user account is read-only | 18:08 |

| Pithecantropus | genii: as soon as you think about it, shit happens. | 18:08 |
| thebishop | WalloO, i know how to use fstab, but i've found that ubuntu acts funny when fstab is altered | 18:09 |
| unohu | dennda: there is a config.example file... | 18:09 |
| Pithecantropus | genii: what gets me is that I was very, very much psyched about ubuntu and using it to revamp my old pc | 18:09 |

| Pithecantropus | genii: I'm not familiar with linux terminal commands as of yet. | 18:10 |

| NetTroller | Pithecantropus: you dont' need to format ...just go into administration..check the drives..see if the ext3 is there and get rid of it..then start again | 18:13 |
| _fr1wp | care to explain | 18:13 |
| Pithecantropus | genii and NetTroll: ok, so if anything I'd have to wipe hdd's, install XP SP2, then reboot, and see if I can get Ubuntu to install this time around. | 18:13 |

| Pithecantropus | NetTroller and erisco: I work in media content creation so it has to be. But I absolutely HATE the idea of dishing out unnecessary cash for mac workstations | 18:23 |
| kyncani | WebcamWonder: yep, if a package has not finished installing, that will finish the install. (making sure all packages are configured) | 18:23 |
| m-c | erisco: Have you looked at google calendar? | 18:23 |
| zetheroo | I have an MDF file here ... how do I extract it? | 18:24 |
| Lynet | _fr1wp: Car crashes are luckily not that common, but that does not mean that it isn't a good idea to wear a seatbelt now does it? | 18:24 |
| Pithecantropus | NetTroller and erisco: why go mac pro for 4000 bucks when you can go vista 64 with more punch for much much less? | 18:24 |
| erisco | m-c, I would rather Google not knowing what I do every day ;) | 18:24 |
| Tommck | unohu, I would really like to be able to make a driver floppy, since I need to install these in 2 computers. | 18:24 |
| WebcamWonder | kyncani: Will try, but it was installed since it was pushed into the repos | 18:24 |
| macd | Pithecantropus, amen. but this is kinda #ubuntu-offtopic material | 18:24 |
| kyncani | WebcamWonder: -f install will make sure it's not half-installed | 18:24 |
| Pithecantropus | erisco and NetTroller: ofcourse, my initial idea was to set up that quad core with ubuntu studio though | 18:24 |
| m-c | erisco: There is a calendar program built into Ubuntu - Evolution, I think - but I have never used it | 18:25 |
| WebcamWonder | kyncani: 0 upgraded, 0 newly installed, 0 to remove and 0 not upgraded. | 18:25 |
| army | it's Evolution | 18:25 |
| erisco | m-c, evolution is more than a calendar, I think I uninstalled it | 18:25 |
| XLV | anyone here with a amd/ati radeon card? thinking of switching from nvidia to a radeon 4850, need to know whats the quality and stability of the radeon closed source drivers.. also how well dual view is implemented? i have two displays, a 24" and a 22" tft lcd, to connect to the card | 18:25 |
| CrackWhoreBob | blah | 18:25 |
| gnomefreak | evolution or sunbird are the 2 most popular | 18:25 |
| Pithecantropus | erisco, NetTroller and macd: but until I managed to get CS3 and my midi controller working on it, I needed to start producing right away | 18:25 |
| kaushal | thanks | 18:25 |
| kaushal | it's working now | 18:25 |
| kaushal | strange | 18:25 |
| nck | where is kde4 icon set stored in file system | 18:25 |
| erisco | Pithecantropus, what do you guys do? 3D animation? | 18:26 |
| kaushal | WalloO> thanks | 18:26 |
| kaushal | it's working now | 18:26 |
| CrackWhoreBob | blah | 18:26 |
| WalloO | kaushal, you're welcome | 18:26 |
| kaushal | WalloO> | 18:26 |
| kyncani | WebcamWonder: you may try to reinstall the kernel. May be something like sudo apt-get install --reinstall linux-image-2.6.24-19-generic | 18:26 |
| genii | nck: Perhaps enquire in #kubuntu-kde4 channel about that | 18:26 |
| m-c | XLV: Yes, I can help you with that | 18:26 |
| CrackWhoreBob | i have no ideas what u b saying | 18:26 |
| _fr1wp | lynet: thanks for explaining it | 18:26 |
| tim3 | how can i install kubuntu apps in ubuntu ? | 18:26 |
| Pithecantropus | erisco: graphic design, web design, video editing, music creation and getting into motion graphics and 3d animation as well. | 18:27 |
| Fryguy-- | tim3: the same way you install any other applicatino | 18:27 |
| gnomefreak | tim3: sudo apt-get install | 18:27 |
| CrackWhoreBob | that is just dfsiufl | 18:27 |
| WalloO | tim3, they are available from the repository. use synaptic | 18:27 |
| kyncani | WebcamWonder: that way, if it cannot be reinstalled because of something you've done with usplash, you should get an error message you can start working with (or tell us) | 18:27 |
| Pithecantropus | erisco: I set up an ad and communications agency about a year ago | 18:27 |
| erisco | Pithecantropus, the whole works eh? neat | 18:27 |
| Pithecantropus | erisco: yup. step by step. | 18:27 |
| tim3 | i did sudo apt-get install kTouch | 18:27 |
| m-c | XLV: You should know that AMD released the specification for almost all the ATI-model cards, earlier this year, and there are Free Software drivers being written for them at a furious pace. You can already try out the developer versions of these open drivers, and the drivers for R500 chips and older will be built into the next version of Ubuntu | 18:27 |
| Tommck | does anyone have a "driver floppy" for a piece of hardware that they could send me, so I can study the format? | 18:28 |
| gnomefreak | tim3: dont use caps | 18:28 |
| Pithecantropus | erisco: it all depends on where ideas take us... or what the clients need, or both. | 18:28 |
| gnomefreak | tim3: its in main repo | 18:28 |
| tim3 | Ohh sorry guys | 18:28 |
| === belendax|away is now known as belendax | ||
| kyncani | tim3: open synaptic and search for ktouch. It will tell you the package is named ktouch and not kTouch | 18:28 |
| tim3 | Ok | 18:28 |
| Pithecantropus | erisco: and now with the whole 100 dollar laptop initiative, and the android platform, google's move to open source and spurts of economic growth worldwide | 18:29 |
| Pithecantropus | erisco: I figured open source OS's and apps are a way to descentralize information | 18:29 |
| XLV | m-c, but do there drivers support 4850/70? and if they dont, or they need more polish, how well closed source amdati drivers work? | 18:29 |
| WebcamWonder | kyncani: Pastebin? | 18:29 |

| Marshalrusty | Hey folks, I have a relatively quick one for anyone around. I had three partitions and Ubuntu on the third. I then merged the first two, so Ubuntu is now on the second one, and it's very confused. It's a fresh install from yesterday, so I can just go ahead and reinstall it if necessary, but I was hoping for a more reasonable solution | 18:29 |
| unohu | Tommck: did u check the fakeraid howto....doesnt seem like u need extra drivers..... | 18:30 |
| Tommck | army, that's Promise's driver, no? | 18:30 |
| Pithecantropus | erisco: both in content creation to access. And I like the possibilities. | 18:30 |
| Tommck | unohu, it's not Fakeraid | 18:30 |
| WebcamWonder | kyncani: From my understanding, it worked: http://paste.ubuntu.com/25475/ | 18:30 |
| magnetron | Marshalrusty, please explain what you mean by "merging" two partitions | 18:30 |
| m-c | XLV: Yes the drivers will support the 4850/70 cards, although efforts appear to be starting with earlier released cards. The closed drivers are notoriously poor, on the other hand. | 18:30 |
| army | Tommck: which raid? | 18:30 |
| Fryguy-- | Marshalrusty: just reienstall grub from the livcd, gooing "ubuntu grub windows" will give you plenty of resources | 18:30 |
| Tommck | army, it's HPT1740 Rocketraid | 18:30 |
| XLV | m-c, as i see it not even the closed source drivers support 4850/70 | 18:31 |
| XLV | m-c, so i guess i should hold off the purchase | 18:31 |
| orgthingy | the sounds arent clear now | 18:31 |
| bas1234 | does anyone know if it is possible to test cd/dvd burning from the live cd? | 18:31 |
| orgthingy | how to change it to how it was previously? | 18:31 |
| Fryguy-- | bas1234: brasero should be installed on the live cd | 18:31 |
| orgthingy | it sounds like old-stereo now, lol | 18:31 |
| kyncani | WebcamWonder: Yep, looks all right. Rebooting into 2.6.24.19 should work | 18:31 |
| Marshalrusty | magnetron: There were three logical partitions (100GB, 100GB, 39GB). Ubuntu was on the third. Now there are two partitions (200GB and 39GB). Ubuntu is on the second one | 18:31 |
| Fryguy-- | bas1234: or any of the other cd burning packages | 18:31 |
| WebcamWonder | kyncani: k em rebooting | 18:32 |
| carpediem | when an app wants to Browse my filesystem (like, File > Save As), it takes an excessively long time to open, for every app. I've been using Gnome for 6 years, never seen this. I'm not even sure where to begin to troubleshoot. Any ideas? | 18:32 |
| m-c | XLV: I purchased a 3650 and I found it difficult to get dual monitors working with the closed drivers. The open drivers had no problems, but there is no 3D support for R600 chips, yet. | 18:32 |
| magnetron | Marshalrusty, i understand that, but what do you mean by "merging" two partitions? | 18:32 |
| Marshalrusty | magnetron: GRUB failed completely, but that was an easy fix from the CD | 18:32 |
| Fryguy-- | carpediem: do you have a hostname set, and entered in /etc/hosts correctly | 18:32 |
| bas1234 | Fryguy--, stupid I didn't think of that ... thanks will go and try now | 18:32 |
| magnetron | Marshalrusty, so what's the problem? | 18:32 |
| carpediem | Fryguy--: hmm, I'll give that a shot. I did just rebuild this machine this week. | 18:32 |
| thebishop | how can i configure ubuntu's automount service? | 18:32 |
| Pithecantropus | hey erisco | 18:33 |
| magnetron | thebishop, that depends, in what way do you want to configure it? | 18:33 |
| XLV | m-c, got some link of the website of ati oss drivers? | 18:33 |
| carpediem | Fryguy--: yeah, it's set. Is it better to unset it? | 18:33 |
| Marshalrusty | magnetron: The two partitions were deleted and recreated. It's NTFS, so the only way I see Ubuntu being affected is that it's now on the hd0,2 rather tha hd0,1 | 18:33 |
| Fryguy-- | carpediem: no | 18:33 |
| erisco | Pithecantropus, yes? | 18:33 |
| Fryguy-- | carpediem: is there an entry in /etc/hosts that matches it | 18:33 |
| Pithecantropus | you wouldn't happen to know anything about that Can't read CTR while initializing i8042 | 18:33 |
| magnetron | Marshalrusty, so what's the problem? | 18:33 |
| Pithecantropus | error, would you? | 18:33 |
| Marshalrusty | magnetron: It doesn't boot :) | 18:34 |
| Pithecantropus | in my install attempts? | 18:34 |
| carpediem | Fryguy--: yeah, there's a 127.0.0.1 entry | 18:34 |
| Fryguy-- | Marshalrusty: so reinstall grub | 18:34 |
| malocite | HELP! I am trying to install Ubuntu 8.04 Gutsy on my inlaws computer, I have four other machines with Ubuntu that have had no issues at all. This machine cannot see the IDE harddrive when I use the installer. | 18:34 |

| malocite | The drive works no problem, and I can see it when I use the Live Gparted CD to test. | 18:34 |
| erisco | Pithecantropus, unfortunately no | 18:34 |

| thebishop | magnetron, it mounts my HFS-formatted ipod as ro for users. i've disabled journaling so rw should be available. it works as root | 18:35 |

| Marshalrusty | I reinstalled GRUB successfully | 18:35 |
| Fryguy-- | Marshalrusty: so change the drive/partition that grub looks for ubuntu.. /boot/grub/menu.lst, just like all of the tutorials say to do | 18:35 |
| WebcamWonder | kyncani: didn't worl :( | 18:35 |
| acce245 | ATI drivers work fine on my machine... | 18:35 |

| Pithecantropus | I'll post back somewhere about it. | 18:36 |
| gnomefreak | m-c: an advanced user would have sti drivers from repos working | 18:36 |
| gnomefreak | s/sti/ati | 18:36 |
| gnomefreak | nerdygirl: they dont load at start up if configured right | 18:36 |
| m-c | gnomefreak: they are still trashy drivers | 18:36 |
| gnomefreak | s/dont/do | 18:36 |
| gnomefreak | m-c: most of them are | 18:37 |
| kyncani | WebcamWonder: that does not sound right according to the pastebin logs you gave, you should take a look at the /boot/grub/menu.lst that update-grub updated. Maybe pastebin it | 18:37 |
| Pithecantropus | erisco: and whatever I did to do it. Ubuntu forums. | 18:37 |
| erisco | Pithecantropus, the animations get pretty intensive do they not? | 18:37 |
| Pithecantropus | erisco: yup | 18:37 |
| Pithecantropus | erisco: processor intensive | 18:37 |
| erisco | Pithecantropus, I remember trying to render a simple animation of water flowing into a cup on blender | 18:37 |
| WebcamWonder | kyncani: help if i told ya i was under wubi? | 18:37 |
| m-c | nerdygirl: These open 3D drivers for ATI will be built into the default build of the next Ubuntu release. | 18:37 |
| erisco | Pithecantropus, took a good 10 minutes at least for the 30 second animation | 18:37 |
| Pithecantropus | erisco: although nVidia has this gelato program that I wish would be more open so that all users could benefit from their GPU's for rendering | 18:38 |
| bobertdos | I'm a little new to the whole server seen, but I might be making a DHCP server for the camp I worked for. We shouldn't NEED our own domain for that, should we? | 18:38 |
| kyncani | WebcamWonder: oh, wubi, i don't know how that works (i don't have ms windows here= | 18:38 |
| magnetron | thebishop, you would have to add a line to your fstab file. the line should contain the UUID of your ipod and the "user" option. i can't describe the details, but look for info on fstab | 18:38 |
| Pithecantropus | erisco: new 3d Studio renderers and cinema 4d are fast though | 18:38 |

| WebcamWonder | kyncani: menu clearly shows only 17 and 16 listed | 18:38 |
| m-c | WebcamWonder: Things might run better with running under the LiveCD. Wubi , as I understand it , is just for demonstration , not for long term use. | 18:39 |
| nerdygirl | says i have to configure display.. hmm | 18:39 |
| bobertdos | Fryguy--: I didn't think so | 18:39 |
| thebishop | magnetron, the problem i have with fstab is that ubuntu won't auto-create the mountpoint and show the device on the desktop/Places if i manually configure it | 18:39 |
| Pithecantropus | erisco: but they're all processor intensive. It ticks me off to know people have anywhere from 100 to 800 dollars worth of hardware just sitting there on their pc's, idling | 18:39 |
| bobertdos | :) | 18:39 |
| kyncani | WebcamWonder: yeah, i don't know how wubi works, can't help you there | 18:39 |

| Tommck | army, I had had it working before (through a painful way, involving the live DVD).. no mdadm, no LVM, nothing.. one single drive | 18:41 |
| Fryguy-- | bobertdos: set your clock to be not UTC in ubuntu | 18:41 |
| thebishop | its really nice how it creates/deletes the mounted directory by default | 18:41 |
| army | Tommck: not really, driver binds the two disks together based on the information in the controller | 18:41 |

| Tommck | m-c it's not on a motherboard | 18:42 |
| Pithecantropus | thank you all for all your help | 18:42 |

| malocite | Fryguy--: SOrry, didn't see that , I am using a shitty irc client, as for the drivers for the Mobo, I don't see any reference to them on any website including asus, and other people have used this mobo to install ubuntu without issue. Do you have a link to the site that you got your fix from, I'd love to read it | 18:45 |
| army | Fryguy--: for one reason, the device is only a sata-controller and two they never build hardware controllers in the segment and third I inspected enough of those devices to know this is fakeraid | 18:45 |
| m-c | XLV: Plus, you can know there will be open drivers coming in the near future. | 18:46 |

| igor_ | might be stupid question, but my desktop seems to be slightly zoomed in. I have to move mouse around to see remainder of screen. I made sure i'm not using advanced effects to zoom in, even turned off desktop zoom. Any ideas? | 18:46 |

| XLV | m-c, yeah, i suppose we can count on it | 18:46 |
| army | Fryguy--: another hint, start looking into the driver | 18:46 |
| ovm | fryguy, this problem is a new problem, y had alsa before | 18:46 |
| Fryguy-- | army: my controller card implements pure hardware raid, why can't his? | 18:46 |
| thebishop | magnetron, i want it to create the mount point when the device is connected and delete the directory when the device is removed. this is the behavior for every other device i use, the only problem is its getting the permissions wrong for this one | 18:46 |
| XLV | m-c, if only they had some uvd support out, i would yank that 6600gt out of the htpc in no time | 18:46 |
| malocite | fryguy--: How would I (if I could even find them) use those drivers during a linux install? | 18:47 |
| army | Fryguy--: my controller card also implements it, but they're somewhat more pricy | 18:47 |
| m-c | nerdygirl: System -> Pref -> Screen Resolution , or maybe you need to use the ATI-proprietary configuration tool. (do not know much about that second option though) | 18:47 |
| magnetron | thebishop, look, listen to me: create the folder and the icon will only show up when it's mounted. trust me on this one. | 18:47 |
| thebishop | ok | 18:47 |
| nerdygirl | there isn't an option to change it under screen resolution, isn't there a way to force i by command? | 18:47 |
| m-c | XLV: I upgraded from a 6600GT with dual monitors. The open R600 works for me fine, even without yet having the 3D support | 18:47 |
| Fryguy-- | malocite: unsure off of the top of my head, there should be plenty of information about how to load extra drivers in ubuntu livecd on google. A8N is a somewhat common board, i wouldn't be surprised if it was specifically mentioned | 18:48 |
| coreyo | When I try to tab complete a second parameter after already supplying a tab-completed first-parameter with a space, in a bash console, the tab completion breaks. Does anyone know of a fix? This started happening several releases ago. | 18:48 |

| Tommck | army, yes.. that means that arrays (many disks together) can be accessed as single disks... that's kind of the point to RAID. How do you read that as "we're combining devices at the software level to fake it" ? | 19:14 |
| Dr_willis_ | soshka, you mean the programs just 'hang' instead of closing their windows? how can you tell? | 19:14 |
| Fryguy-- | soshka: I am sure there is somebody in several other channels that know the answer as well. Why not ask your question in a hundred other channels as well? | 19:14 |
| Myrtti | profxavier: the channel policy is that we do not help in breaking into computers, assist in piracy or other harmdoing. | 19:14 |

| Myrtti | profxavier: as the usage of keyloggers in legit stuff is very rare, we'd like you to explain for us the legit uses you want it to be used. | 19:15 |
| Fryguy-- | WebcamWonder: no idea, i don't use grub, why are you asking me? | 19:15 |
| Chousuke | Fryguy--: unrar-free doesn't always work though. :/ | 19:15 |
| kevinmcq | Fryguy--: will that work? i got it from apt-get but wasn't sure if it would be able to handle part files | 19:15 |
| Dr_willis_ | kevinmcq, 'unrar e firstrarpackage.rar' normally :) after you install unrar-free | 19:15 |

| Dr_willis_ | kevinmcq, if all elese fails, wine can run winrar.exe | 19:16 |
| soshka | dr_willis_ basically i close it by pressing the x in top right corner, so it disappers from the tool bar that shows all the running progs, but if i switch skype on again it tells me another skype is running so i have to manually go to session manger and close it ther | 19:16 |

| nerdygirl | so if i wanted to run say lotro under wine i'm screwed unless i get the ati drivers to work? | 19:19 |
| Fryguy-- | kevinmcq: no i mean like unrar x | 19:20 |
| Fryguy-- | kevinmcq: just like i said | 19:20 |
| Guiri | Great, but my question was on ufw | 19:20 |
| Guiri | good call on that one | 19:20 |
| Dr_willis_ | nerdygirl, with ati cards and wine+games. you are often screwed anyway. | 19:20 |
| Guiri | Is ufw a front for iptables? | 19:20 |
| kevinmcq | Fryguy--: not sure i follow | 19:20 |
| Dr_willis_ | nerdygirl, ati drivers are gettting better i hear. But i dont use ati any more. | 19:20 |
| Grell | unrar (not the free version) seems to work on more rar files | 19:20 |
| Fryguy-- | Guiri: your question was why isn't ufw used, to which i responded. do you have a more specific questin | 19:20 |
| kevinmcq | Fryguy--: are you saying i should use unrar instead of unrar-free? | 19:20 |
| Dr_willis_ | Grell, ive not found one that it dident work on. :) | 19:20 |

| Grell | well, theyre both free | 19:21 |

| pen | najeeb, you can follow this guide | 20:10 |
| najeeb | ok | 20:10 |
| m-c | db92: I had some idea. That was my second guess. | 20:10 |

| najeeb | just give me a minute | 20:12 |
| najeeb | i'll try to understand | 20:12 |

| Pizarro2 | WebcamWonder, that's already done in the XP partition, I'm talking what do I have to do with those dlls at linux's side | 20:12 |

| WebcamWonder | Pizarro2: Your XP partition is in no way connected to your wine "emulation" of windows... it is very much possible that the features that your application asks are not yet implemented | 20:13 |
| deea | Hi all. I'm having a strange problem with apt-get: if searching for a package with apt-cache I find the desired ones, but it trying to install them I get this error: Package sopcast is not available, but is referred to by another package. | 20:13 |
| deea | This may mean that the package is missing, has been obsoleted, or | 20:13 |
| deea | is only available from another source | 20:13 |
| deea | E: Package sopcast has no installation candidate | 20:13 |

| fongkwan | m-c thank you for your attention to my question. =) At the moment, i have the xorg-driver-fglrx and fglrx-control installed | 20:14 |
| deea | sorry for the paste, copied it from terminal | 20:14 |
| pen | WebcamWonder, you are saying the wrong thing | 20:14 |
| Pizarro2 | WebcamWonder, so how is supposed that a Win application is ececuted by wine? All win applications have dlls spereaded thru the win partition? | 20:14 |
| najeeb | dear pen, where should i use the code | 20:14 |
| noah_ | DIL, is that toolbar the same as this one: http://linuxowns.files.wordpress.com/2008/06/n4.png | 20:14 |
| pen | Pizarro2, WebcamWonder is not saying the right thing | 20:14 |
| noah_ | DIL, it doesnt look the same | 20:14 |
| WebcamWonder | pen: What am I saying wrong? :s | 20:14 |
| pen | WebcamWonder, it's not an emulator and you can access your win partition in ubuntu and run it with wine | 20:15 |
| WebcamWonder | pen: That is not the debate here | 20:15 |
| m-c | fongkwan: Those are the closed-source driver versions, which are notoriously problematic in Linux. As you probably know, the key strength of linux is getting open and free drivers for your hardware, for true ownership of your computer. | 20:15 |
| DIL | noah_: you can adjust it to be trasparent or opaque | 20:15 |
| najeeb | pen, where should i use the code given in the box | 20:15 |
| WebcamWonder | pen: that is why I place emulation in quotes and he is talking about running apps off windows paritions | 20:15 |
| Pizarro2 | pen, WebcamWonder, What I want to know is how wine does know where are the DLLs that a certain win app needs? | 20:15 |
| pen | najeeb, oh sorry, I was looking somewhere else...in your terminal | 20:16 |
| noah_ | DIL, i like the way that it is kinda 3D, sitting on a platform, can you do that? | 20:16 |
| pen | Pizarro2, oh, actually if you look into your home folder, show hidden files you can find a folder named .wine | 20:16 |
| mud | Has anyone managed to get the sun presentation minimizer to work in impress? No-one's chatting on #openoffice | 20:16 |

(More storage/better internet connection then machines I'm surfing on) And that way when I get back home all my files are there wai | 20:16 |
| pen | Pizarro2, and most likely the apps you install with wine will be there too | 20:17 |
| WebcamWonder | Pizarro2: For further questions you may goto #winehq | 20:17 |
| fongkwan | m-c In searching for drivers/installation of drivers, Envy popped up, is that something I should continue reading up and trying out? Or in your opinion, I should try those developer drivers out? | 20:17 |
| pen | Pizarro2, yes, /join #winehq | 20:17 |
| Pizarro2 | pen, ok, now: If I'm trying to run an app that needs aditional DLLs, ..Where do I have to put them? | 20:17 |
| Pizarro2 | WebcamWonder, ok thank | 20:17 |
| DIL | noah_: i did it on a laptop and i followed that tutorial and googled to find what i liked you will have to do the same - it was not hard | 20:17 |
| Fryguy-- | TheManiacKY: so right click, get the link, and then use wget to get it | 20:17 |
| m-c | fongkwan: You should stay away from envy. See : !envy | 20:17 |
| WebcamWonder | Pizarro2: ~\.wine\windows\ <= try that or system32 under that | 20:18 |
| pen | m-c, fongkwan there is envyng which is in the repository | 20:18 |
| Pizarro2 | WebcamWonder, OK! that's what I wanted to go" | 20:18 |
| TheManiacKY | Fryguy-- How would I keep the wget session running once I disconnect from ssh? | 20:18 |
| mud | TheManiacKY you probably need to SSH into your linux computer and then wget from there | 20:18 |
| Fryguy-- | TheManiacKY: use nohup, or gnu screen | 20:18 |
| WebcamWonder | Pizarro2: Sorry, I couldn't make myself clear, I though you knew the location to wine folders :) | 20:18 |
| DIL | noah_: there are osx themes you can download | 20:18 |
| ljaysvistakilla | how do i ./compiz-check | 20:19 |
| Jeffreyf | AmritP: it is a LInksys WMP54GS | 20:19 |
| Pizarro2 | WebcamWonder, no I'm completly new! XD | 20:19 |
| Fryguy-- | ljaysvistakilla: you run just that, if the file is in your current pwd | 20:19 |
| TheManiacKY | Fryguy-- Could I queue up multiple files this way? Just issue several wget commands? | 20:19 |
| perlsyntax_ | i install something in root and it inmy trash how do i remove it? | 20:19 |
| AmritP | Jeffreyf: i've always had a problem with linksys drivers and such... so just use ndiswrapper... | 20:19 |
| Fryguy-- | TheManiacKY: sure | 20:19 |
| alphaman1101 | What do you guys bet zune wont work under cedega? | 20:20 |
| perlsyntax_ | anyone | 20:20 |
| najeeb | sudo apt-get install skype | 20:20 |
| ljaysvistakilla | i dont think its there how do i gert it | 20:20 |
| perlsyntax_ | ? | 20:20 |
| Jeffreyf | AmritP: Even if I am using the restricted drivers? | 20:20 |
| DIL | noah_: for example http://gnome-look.org/content/show.php?content=19714 | 20:20 |
| Fryguy-- | ljaysvistakilla: depends on where you put it | 20:20 |
| alphaman1101 | .. | 20:20 |
| perlsyntax_ | how do i remove something from my trash if it install in root??? | 20:20 |
| ljaysvistakilla | im trying to get my video card working | 20:20 |
| Fryguy-- | perlsyntax_: use sudo | 20:20 |
| Shaba2 | Hey folks is there a linux equivalent to ctrl-alt-del on windows | 20:21 |
| perlsyntax_ | then how do i get into my trash them if i sudo? | 20:21 |
| Fryguy-- | Shaba2: ctrl-alt-delete works | 20:21 |
| Fryguy-- | Shaba2: if you want to just restart gui use ctrl-alt-backspace | 20:21 |
| Shaba2 | I got a runaway program process I cannot stop with the xfre gui desktop | 20:21 |
| Shaba2 | if that makes snese | 20:21 |
| Fryguy-- | perlsyntax_: use a terminal | 20:21 |
| pen | Shaba2, yes | 20:21 |
| Shaba2 | no I do not want to restart the whole machine Fryguy-- | 20:21 |
| Fryguy-- | Shaba2: so use kill or xkill to kill it | 20:21 |
| osxdude | Shaba2: Open a tty and do sudo killall <process name> | 20:21 |
| fongkwan | m-c, in that case I'll stay away from Envy. I thought it was my hope | 20:22 |
| AmritP | Jeffreyf: like i said... i have always had a problem with linksys drivers, ndiswrapper uses the windows drivers and lets you use them (and you said that they work under windows right, so this would be perfect) | 20:22 |
| Shaba2 | just stop this program that is trying to access a bad folder on a cd | 20:22 |
| fongkwan | !envy | 20:22 |
| ubottu | envyng is an updated version of the *UNSUPPORTED* envy package. It is now part of the ubuntu universe repository (envyng-gtk OR envyng-qt) and has community support. As an early version, its results may vary but this should be used over the unsupported envy package. | 20:22 |
| Shaba2 | that is the thing | 20:22 |
| alphaman1101 | Hey i just downloaded the zune installation. Tryed to run it and it says that i cant find a good volume for exctraction. and that it needs permissions. Anyone got a fix | 20:22 |
| perlsyntax_ | that didn't work | 20:22 |
| Shaba2 | how do I found out which process it is? | 20:22 |
| Jeffreyf | AmritP: Thanks! I will give it a shot and will be back. | 20:22 |
| ljaysvistakilla | how come after installing my intel video drivers under hardware drivers its not there? | 20:22 |
| perlsyntax_ | fryguy | 20:22 |
| osxdude | Sudo it, alphaman1101 | 20:22 |
| Fryguy-- | Shaba2: use ps aux to get a list of processes on your system | 20:22 |
| AmritP | Jeffreyf: np :) | 20:22 |
| alphaman1101 | osxdude, will try | 20:22 |
| Fryguy-- | perlsyntax_: if you want to delete something from the trash, delete it. If it has root permissions use sudo. What is the problem | 20:23 |
| Shaba2 | ok that gave me a long list Fryguy-- | 20:23 |
| bobertdos | How fast and how much RAM would I need to effectively make my DHCP server? | 20:23 |
| perlsyntax_ | i don't know where to find the trash can in the term | 20:23 |
| __yy_ | bobertdos: to just run a dhcp server? not much at all | 20:23 |
| Fryguy-- | bobertdos: a 286 with a meg or 2 of ram should be fine | 20:23 |
| Ahadiel | perlsyntax_, I believe it's ~/.Trash | 20:23 |
| bobertdos | hehe, excellent | 20:23 |
| Shaba2 | I still cannot tell which one it is | 20:23 |
| flexgrip | Does anyone know why permissions change on folders and hardware after I reboot? Owners of a lot of stuff resets after a reboot. | 20:24 |
| Fryguy-- | Shaba2: run xkill and just click on what you want to kill | 20:24 |
| alphaman1101 | osxdude, http://clintrules.pastebin.com/m4a67cefa | 20:24 |
| Fryguy-- | flexgrip: what specifically | 20:24 |
| AaronMT | Anyone know why update manager will not notify me of any updates? I have to resort to doing an 'apt-get update' in a terminal manually...... | 20:24 |
| perlsyntax_ | i try that | 20:24 |
| AmritP | bobertdos: you can use a 386 with 16 mb of ram and a special distro that turns it into a dhcp/fw if you want... | 20:24 |
| osmosis_ | I have cacti installed, and my hosts added, but its as if no data is being returned by the hosts. snmpwalk works. any help ? | 20:24 |
| perlsyntax_ | didn't work | 20:24 |
| Fryguy-- | perlsyntax_: ~/.local/share/Trash | 20:24 |
| Shaba2 | the window( or what ever you call it on linux) has a title bar of BeanTownBabe - File Manager. | 20:24 |
| bobertdos | Yes, sounds good guys | 20:24 |
| osxdude | oh | 20:24 |
| Shaba2 | If that helps Fryguy-- | 20:24 |
| TheManiacKY | thanks guys | 20:25 |
| Fryguy-- | Shaba2: kill nautilus | 20:25 |
| _Axel | #plasma | 20:25 |
| perlsyntax_ | i try to cd it didn't work | 20:25 |
| osxdude | alphaman1101: hmmmm | 20:25 |
| Fryguy-- | perlsyntax_: maybe it's ~/.share/local/Trash | 20:25 |
| Fryguy-- | !trash | perlsyntax_ | 20:25 |
| ubottu | perlsyntax_: The location of Trash has changed in 8.04, it is now located in ~/.local/share/Trash | Looking for the trash in previous versions: ~/.Trash | 20:25 |
| alphaman1101 | osxdude, it should be owned by me right? its in my folder | 20:25 |
| osxdude | alphaman1101: yes, of course | 20:26 |
| osxdude | but, alphaman1101 you are running it as root. | 20:26 |
| osxdude | with sudo... | 20:26 |
| osxdude | so that wont work.... | 20:26 |

| alphaman1101 | osxdude, thats makeing it want to be owned by root? | 20:26 |

| perlsyntax_ | ubottu,How do i get into the trash in the term? | 20:28 |

| JoshieP0x | hello | 20:28 |
| alphaman1101 | osxdude, ok i changed permissions but its still givving same error | 20:28 |

| ubottu | JoshieP0x: Hi! Welcome to #ubuntu! | 20:28 |
| osxdude | alpha man, are you sure it's root:root? not root:osxdude for example? | 20:28 |
| Fryguy-- | Shaba2: no idea | 20:28 |
| JoshieP0x | :) | 20:29 |
| alphaman1101 | Fryguy--, .. ok | 20:29 |
| Shaba2 | dam I am downloading and iso | 20:29 |
| osxdude | alphaman1101: , are you sure it's root:root? not root:osxdude for example? | 20:29 |
| Fryguy-- | Shaba2: probably unmount it first | 20:29 |
| Shaba2 | I hate to have to reboot | 20:29 |
| Shaba2 | only 13% done | 20:29 |
| alphaman1101 | osxdude, ahh | 20:29 |
| pen | Shaba2, ? | 20:29 |
| pen | Shaba2, usually restart x is sufficient | 20:29 |
| Shaba2 | but will firefox pic up where it left off | 20:29 |

| ljaysvistakilla | how do i doputting the text "SKIP_CHECKS=yes" in the file ~/.config/compiz/compiz-manage | 20:29 |
| AnythingJe | Is it just me or do the newer versions of Transmission no longer have the option to move the data, but continue seeding? | 20:29 |
| Fryguy-- | perlsyntax_: why not | 20:29 |
| bobertdos | Shaba2: Let me take a stab at it. What are you trying to kill? | 20:30 |
| alphaman1101 | osxdude: clint@clint-laptop:~/Desktop$ sudo chown root:root /home/clint/.wine ran it again still the same | 20:30 |
| pen | AnythingJe, what do you mean | 20:30 |
| DIL | perlsyntax_: /home/user/.local/share/Thhrash | 20:30 |
| perlsyntax_ | i got it | 20:30 |
| alphaman1101 | osxdude, forgot to set it recurring | 20:30 |
| Fryguy-- | ljaysvistakilla: you are following very old directions for whatever it is you are trying to do | 20:30 |
| flexgrip | Fryguy: Sorry, I seem to lose permissions after reboot for stuff like /dev/nvidia0 /dev/nvidiactl and .sabnzbd and .xbmc in my home dir. | 20:30 |
| osxdude | did you make sure you ad the -R.... yea. alphaman1101 | 20:30 |
| Shaba2 | Ok I was using rissoto picture view to view some jpgs on a cdrom | 20:30 |
| AnythingJe | pen: well, I want to move my data to a different drive, and in my searches came up with "File -> Move data" but those are old forums from 2007, and that doesn't look like it is an option anymore | 20:30 |
| Shaba2 | well on of the folders has and error so risotto got stuck | 20:31 |
| alphaman1101 | osxdude, its still | 20:31 |
| osxdude | interesting. | 20:31 |
| Shaba2 | Fryguy--: told me how to kill the window | 20:31 |
| alphaman1101 | osxdude, think microsoft got smart? | 20:31 |
| fongkwan | pen, yea... that's nvidia tho, prior to my video card upgrade i too was using nvidia and it was a easy install | 20:31 |
| ljaysvistakilla | im trying to get my video card to work with desktop efects on this extensa 5620 laptop | 20:31 |
| osxdude | yes, microsoft got smaret with sudo. | 20:31 |
| Shaba2 | but the system is still trying to acess that cdrom | 20:31 |
| Fryguy-- | flexgrip: nothing in your home directory is going to change permissions. Things in /dev/ will since they are recreated on every startup. Add yourself to the correct group to use those devices (or edit devfs configuration so they come up with the permissions you want) | 20:31 |
| fongkwan | !ati | 20:31 |

| Fryguy-- | Shaba2: so unmount the cdrom | 20:32 |
| pen | Billll, details? | 20:32 |
| Shaba2 | how Fryguy--? | 20:32 |
| osxdude | alphaman1101: is it showing up at all on the machine? | 20:32 |
| pw-toxic | hi | 20:32 |
| Fryguy-- | Shaba2: well where is the cdrom mounted? | 20:32 |

| AnythingJe | pen: not really without the .torrent file | 20:32 |
| JoshieP0x | how do you mount a drive to a windows share? | 20:32 |
| Shaba2 | I tried "unmount" in a terminal window and that did not work | 20:32 |
| * DIL wonders if maxi priest is here | 20:32 | |
| Fryguy-- | JoshieP0x: what? | 20:32 |
| alphaman1101 | osxdude, that was what was surprising to me. Ubuntu dosnt even see it at all dosnt even see it in the port | 20:32 |
| bobertdos | Shaba2: If you do umount it, you'll have to use the force option | 20:32 |
| Fryguy-- | Shaba2: it's umount | 20:32 |
| JoshieP0x | I have a share on a windows box | 20:33 |

| JoshieP0x | i want to have access to it | 20:33 |

| Shaba2 | I tried ejecting it with thunar | 20:33 |
| osxdude | that maybe the reason why you were getting the error form the Zune installer... | 20:33 |
| Billll | pen: It happened in "select and install software" installation, but no specific errors, it did give an error at about 6% isntalling | 20:33 |
| Shaba2 | that did not work | 20:33 |
| pen | AnythingJe, yea, keep trying | 20:33 |
| Fryguy-- | ljaysvistakilla: glxinfo | grep -i direct | 20:33 |
| osxdude | that maybe the reason why you were getting the error form the Zune installer... alphaman1101 | 20:33 |
| JoshieP0x | thanks. | 20:33 |
| Billll | pen: I'm reisntallnig again | 20:33 |
| pen | Billll, select and install software? | 20:33 |
| flexgrip | fryguy: I added /dev/nvidia0 and nvidiactl to the group video then added my user account. After a reboot they go back to being on no group at all. As far as the stuff in my home directory, I have done chmod 777 -R .sabnzbd and chown flexgrip .sabnzbd and after a reboot i check and they belong to root. | 20:33 |
| alphaman1101 | osxdude, possible but it seems like it cant find the software for unzipping | 20:33 |
| Billll | pen: reinstallnig "select and isntall software | 20:33 |

| Fryguy-- | flexgrip: what's the gid of video | 20:38 |
| ljaysvistakilla | fryguy how do i edit that file | 20:38 |
| WebcamWonder | !question | achilles | 20:38 |
| ubottu | achilles: 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. :-) | 20:38 |
| bobertdos | achilles: I'll take a stab at it, what do you need? | 20:38 |
| Shaba2 | Fryguy--: umount did not work | 20:39 |
| Fryguy-- | ljaysvistakilla: gksu gedit /etc/X11/xorg.conf | 20:39 |
| Fryguy-- | !work | Shaba2 | 20:39 |
| ubottu | Shaba2: Doesn't work is a strong statement. Does it sit on the couch all day? Does it want more money? Is it on IRC all the time? Please be specific! Examples of what doesn't work tend to help too. | 20:39 |
| flexgrip | fryguy: does 195 sound right? | 20:39 |
| Billll | !spam > lenswipe | 20:39 |
| Shaba2 | says /media/cdrom0: device is busy | 20:39 |

| lenswipe | Bill: "M000" = spam | 20:40 |
| perlsyntax_ | how can i search for it? | 20:40 |
| l815 | you can convert rpm files to deb, that owns! | 20:40 |
| Fryguy-- | ljaysvistakilla: well there needs to be | 20:40 |
| lenswipe | which is why i used the !spam command | 20:40 |
| Billll | lens they have a mute button therefore stop annoying me | 20:40 |
| lenswipe | is that supposed to be a threat? | 20:41 |
| ljaysvistakilla | fryguy do i need to upgrade xserver? | 20:41 |
| bobertdos | Shaba2: Like I said, you will need to FORCE it. Type man umount to see what the option is for forcing. | 20:41 |
| Fryguy-- | ljaysvistakilla: probably not | 20:41 |
| Billll | lens: no act lieka human ... | 20:41 |
| lenswipe | Billl: I think you would do well to take your own advice and stop posting pointless comments in the IRC such as M000 | 20:41 |
| ljaysvistakilla | fryguy i dont even know if my intel vid drivers on installed right | 20:41 |
| Shaba2 | bobertdos: I tried "sudo umount /media/cdrom0 -f" | 20:41 |
| Fryguy-- | ljaysvistakilla: they are | 20:41 |
| Billll | lens: what you justs aid is pointless... | 20:42 |
| SliMM | hello again | 20:42 |
| lenswipe | Bill: back on topic please | 20:42 |
| perlsyntax_ | hello! | 20:42 |

| Billll | lens: I suggets you take your own advice and only take your own advice liek i would do the same for myself | 20:42 |
| Billll | :D | 20:42 |
| bobertdos | Shaba2: Try looking up the device path instead. | 20:42 |
| Fryguy-- | ljaysvistakilla: add the composite option to xorg.conf, just like i said | 20:42 |
| Fryguy-- | ljaysvistakilla: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/BinaryDriverHowto/ATI | 20:42 |
| lenswipe | Billl: you are still spamming and extending the issue NOW LEAVE IT! | 20:42 |
| achilles | does anyone know how to get s3 unichrome to work right my resolution is all wrong and video is just a mess | 20:42 |
| tzfardea | Fryguy--, Cool, is there any explanation for this? | 20:42 |
| ljaysvistakilla | i got intel vid drivers | 20:42 |
| Fryguy-- | tzfardea: #gentoo | 20:43 |
| SliMM | I used the following commands: mkdir /srv/svn, addgroup subversion, adduser stefan subversion | 20:43 |
| lenswipe | Billll: end of | 20:43 |
| tzfardea | Fryguy--, Thanks | 20:43 |
| SliMM | with sudo, of course | 20:43 |
| Fryguy-- | tzfardea: short answer, burn gentoo cd, put in drive, and go | 20:43 |
| Billll | lens: dont's spam me or have bots spam me in private if you want to send me a message send it yourself through rpivate or not at all it's very annopying and I have no clue what i did therefoe we may be able to come to a compromise if we tlak this out got it? | 20:43 |
| Fryguy-- | tzfardea: long answer, create chroot | 20:43 |
| bobertdos | achilles: Please type people's names when you're talking to them so they hear you. | 20:43 |
| ljaysvistakilla | fryguy i got intel video card | 20:43 |
| Shaba2 | bobertdos: is that not /media/cdrom0? | 20:43 |
| SliMM | and chmod 770 /srv/svn | 20:43 |
| Varak_ | you tell em billll! | 20:43 |
| Fryguy-- | ljaysvistakilla: i heard you the first time | 20:43 |
| SliMM | but I cannot cd to /srv/svn | 20:43 |
| SliMM | why? | 20:43 |
| Billll | lens: that sound reasonable enough? | 20:43 |
| lenswipe | Billll: i said leave it, i will not discuss the issue further | 20:43 |
| lenswipe | The search domain keeps being set to home on ubuntu hardy meaning that the internet doesnt work, does anyone know how to stop this | 20:43 |
| achilles | was talking to anyone that could help me sorry | 20:43 |
| bobertdos | achilles: I would try checking the Restricted Drivers section to see if any are available. | 20:44 |
| l815 | is there a big difference between VirtualBox free edition and the OSE edition (other then being open source)? | 20:44 |
| Fryguy-- | SliMM: are you the owner/group of /srv? | 20:44 |
| Billll | lens: I'm only beign logical as well as a human | 20:44 |
| Fryguy-- | l815: no | 20:44 |
| Billll | I don't want to have a bot spam me | 20:44 |
| l815 | Fryguy--, k thanks | 20:44 |
| Billll | KTHX | 20:44 |
| SliMM | fry well, my user is "stefan" | 20:44 |
| Billll | ^_^ | 20:44 |
| SliMM | Fryguy--* | 20:44 |
| bobertdos | Shaba2: Type mount to see a list of everything that's currently mounted. | 20:44 |
| lenswipe | Billll: i am about to click the ignore button next to your name as you actually started the pointless comments as of now i will no longer see your messages.... | 20:44 |
| Fryguy-- | SliMM: i don't care what your user is, is he the owner or group of /srv | 20:44 |
| Pizarro2 | I made to work finally the win application, now I just have a samll problem, my app works, but it is still not detecting an DLL | 20:44 |
| Fryguy-- | Pizarro2: join #winehq | 20:45 |
| achilles | bobertdos where is that located | 20:45 |
| Pizarro2 | Fryguy--, the guys there don't answer | 20:45 |
| SliMM | Fryguy--: oh, of /srv, no | 20:45 |
| SliMM | fry just /srv/svn | 20:45 |
| Billll | lens: thank you for agree to my prevoius suggestion ^_^ | 20:45 |
| Fryguy-- | SliMM: then chmod xx0 means you can't chdir there | 20:45 |
| lenswipe | Ubuntu hardy keeps setting the search domain to home meaning that my internet doesnt work, anbyoe have a solution to that? | 20:45 |
| bobertdos | achilles: That should be under System->Administration | 20:45 |
| SliMM | Fryguy--: chmod 770 /srv/svn, not /srv | 20:45 |
| Pizarro2 | The issue is How can I do something ismillar like "regsver32" in win? | 20:45 |
| Fryguy-- | lenswipe: your search domain doens't have anything to do with internet access | 20:46 |
| SliMM | Fryguy--: which is somehow different | 20:46 |
| amenado | Pizarro2-> those are windows questions eh not ubuntu | 20:46 |
| SliMM | Fryguy--: I didn't change permissions of /srv | 20:46 |
| Fryguy-- | Pizarro2: that doesn't give you the right to come in here and ask us. | 20:46 |
| Pizarro2 | Fryguy--, I don't have the right of nothing, this is a Ubuntu channel right? | 20:47 |
| Fryguy-- | SliMM: ls -lR /srv | 20:47 |
| Pizarro2 | amenado, I'm asking which toll wine has like the win's regsvr32 | 20:47 |
| alphaman1101 | osxdude, well i got some leeway. I got amarock to see the thing at least :P | 20:47 |
| Fryguy-- | Pizarro2: exactly, this is the ubuntu support channel, not the wine support channel, what you are doing is specific to wine and has nothing to do with ubuntu | 20:47 |
| osxdude | lol | 20:47 |
| Shaba2 | bobertdos: "umount /dev/scd0 -f" says "umount: /media/cdrom0: device is busy" | 20:47 |
| osxdude | good job, alphaman1101 | 20:48 |
| Fryguy-- | Shaba2: use -f | 20:48 |
| amenado | Pizarro2-> have you visited the #winehq as suggested already? | 20:48 |
| Shaba2 | I used -f | 20:48 |
| SliMM | drwxrwx--- 2 root subversion 4096 2008-07-06 20:33 svn | 20:48 |
| SliMM | ls: cannot open directory /srv/svn: Permission denied | 20:48 |
| Shaba2 | just forgot to type it in cher | 20:48 |
| Shaba2 | here | 20:48 |
| __yy_ | Shaba2: try using umount -l | 20:48 |
| Pizarro2 | amenado, yes I did, but it only says to copy de dlls to the winw/../system folder, I've done that without success | 20:48 |
| |aspire| | Casey: hi | 20:48 |
| Casey | ? | 20:48 |
| Fryguy-- | SliMM: so then you aren't the owner or group of that directory, just like i asked you before | 20:49 |
| Fryguy-- | SliMM: its' root:subversion, not stefan:stefan | 20:49 |
| amenado | Pizarro2-> well we dont know much about wine..good luck to you.. | 20:49 |
| trend | hello | 20:49 |
| Jowi | SliMM, you need to be either root or in group "subversion" | 20:49 |
| Fryguy-- | SliMM: chmod 0 means you cant' cd | 20:49 |
| SliMM | Fryguy--: i am in group subversion :-) | 20:49 |
| lenswipe | Fryguy--: it does, when that is empty the internet works, when it is set to home the internet does not work... | 20:49 |
| Fryguy-- | SliMM: no you aren't | 20:49 |
| Fryguy-- | SliMM: use id to check | 20:49 |
| Shaba2 | __yy_: invalid option | 20:49 |
| Billll | pen: has to be a CD error it happened again at 6% | 20:49 |
| JuJuBee | I have 2 external HD's Data1 and Data2. What is the best way to copy everything from Data1 to Data2 ? Considering speed.. | 20:49 |
| Billll | =P | 20:49 |
| Jowi | SliMM, open a new terminal and type "groups" to verify | 20:49 |
| Billll | been havign problems with CD | 20:49 |
| bobertdos | Shaba2: I think you're stuck. If I were you, I'd just wait for your iso to finish, if it can. | 20:49 |
| Fryguy-- | JuJuBee: mount borht drives and copy from one to the other | 20:50 |
| WebcamWonder | Pizarro2: YOu wish to register dlls under wine? | 20:50 |
| Shaba2 | Na | 20:50 |
| __yy_ | Shaba2: it shouldn't be, that's a lowercase L, btw | 20:50 |
| trend | what is the most compatibile fs type? I need to have an ext hd readable in osx/linux/windows | 20:50 |
| iamjk | what's the secret to editing files using nataulis on an ftp? using hardy | 20:50 |
| Shaba2 | thanks bobertdos | 20:50 |
| Shaba2 | I think that is what I am going to do | 20:50 |
| Fryguy-- | trend: fat32 | 20:50 |
| amenado | trend try to use fat32 | 20:50 |
| Fryguy-- | trend: maybe ntfs | 20:50 |
| Dr_willis_ | trend, windows can read ext2/3 - and linux can read/write ntfs... so i guess you find out what OsX can read/write. | 20:50 |
| Shaba2 | I have xnview downloading too and that is only going to take 15 minutes | 20:50 |
| Shaba2 | I will let that go then reboot | 20:50 |
| trend | :/ but doesn't fat32 have a 2gb filesize limit? | 20:50 |
| SliMM | stefan@gauss-server:~$ sudo adduser stefan subversion | 20:51 |
| SliMM | The user `stefan' is already a member of `subversion'. | 20:51 |
| Fryguy-- | trend: yes | 20:51 |
| Dr_willis_ | trend, yes it does. | 20:51 |
| Pizarro2 | WebcamWonder, yes, I tell you: With this app I had the same problem under win; I had to register the DLL to make the app works proprely, now in wine even the app statrs up, it tells me the same message like in win, but now I don't have regsvr32 | 20:51 |
| Fryguy-- | SliMM: use id to check | 20:51 |
| amenado | trend then try to limit it below that | 20:51 |
| trend | ext3 might be the best solution.. | 20:51 |
| Fryguy-- | SliMM: you probably added it and didn't log out and log back in | 20:51 |
| WebcamWonder | Fryguy--: 4gb if I remember correctly | 20:51 |
| SliMM | Fryguy--: oh, yes, I didn't | 20:51 |
| trend | oh, maybe it is 4gb | 20:51 |
| JuJuBee | Fryguy-- : just a simple cp -R Data1/* Data2/ ? | 20:51 |
| bobertdos | achilles: Are you making any progress? | 20:51 |
| Fryguy-- | SliMM: use id | 20:51 |
| Fryguy-- | SliMM: to make sure of these things :) | 20:51 |
| SliMM | Fryguy--: I didn't know I should have, thanks | 20:51 |
| Jowi | SliMM, open a new terminal and check. | 20:51 |
| trend | cool, thanks for the input guys :) | 20:51 |
| Fryguy-- | JuJuBee: yes | 20:51 |
| CostaRicanQuaker | Friguy: what is the offtopic channels name again? | 20:51 |
| WebcamWonder | trend: I believe it is 4gb | 20:52 |
| Enselic | !offtopic | 20:52 |
| ubottu | #ubuntu is the Ubuntu support channel, #ubuntu+1 supports the development version of Ubuntu and #ubuntu-offtopic is for random chatter. Welcome! | 20:52 |
| Fryguy-- | !offtopic | CostaRicanQuaker | 20:52 |
| ubottu | CostaRicanQuaker: please see above | 20:52 |
| JuJuBee | Fryguy-- will that preserve perms etc ? | 20:52 |
| === mint is now known as nev_chen | ||
| CostaRicanQuaker | Thanks guys | 20:52 |
| WebcamWonder | Pizarro2: The command syntax is regsvr32 -> try that | 20:52 |
| Fryguy-- | JuJuBee: if you are going between 2 linux filesystems it might, look at cp -a (or the manpage) for more detailed cp command line options | 20:52 |
| ]RandoM[ | i finally got myself connecting to my company's openvpn.. but i can only access network resources by ip, hostnames don't seem to resolve ?? | 20:52 |
| achilles | bobertdos I recently reconfig my xorg.conf to get my tablet and mouse to work is it possible that something got messed up in there or would that not make a difference. | 20:52 |
| Pizarro2 | WebcamWonder, also in Linux? | 20:52 |
| Miesco | Im running 'fdisk /dev/sdb1' (my usb stick), will this only affect my usb stick, not my hd? | 20:52 |
| ]RandoM[ | anybody familiar with that problem? | 20:52 |
| Fryguy-- | ]RandoM[: make sure you are using a dns server that has your local hostnames | 20:53 |
| WebcamWonder | Pizarro2: Yes, i just tried and it apparently is the same syntax | 20:53 |
| Fryguy-- | ]RandoM[: probably need to add it to /etc/resolv.conf | 20:53 |
| ]RandoM[ | is that on the openvpn server side or client side? | 20:53 |
| ]RandoM[ | the hostnames resolve when i connect with a windows openvpn client | 20:53 |
| bobertdos | achilles: Well, I would say it's certainly possible. xorg.conf controls A LOT of different aspects of the OS after all. | 20:53 |
| JuJuBee | Fryguy-- I am going from Fat32 to NTFS so I can format the Fat32 drive as ext3 then move the data back | 20:54 |
| Pizarro2 | WebcamWonder, the command exists, but no success | 20:54 |
| WebcamWonder | Pizarro2: What does it say? | 20:54 |
| Pizarro2 | WebcamWonder, err:module:import_dll Library MFC42.DLL (which is needed by L"C:\\windows\\system32\\Database_Temate.dll") not found | 20:54 |
| Jowi | ]RandoM[, probably your client. when you connect to VPN you should get ip, gateway and dns from the vpn server. verify the dns server | 20:54 |
| Pizarro2 | WebcamWonder, the lib Database_... is the one I want to register | 20:54 |
| ]RandoM[ | jowi: how do i do that?\ | 20:55 |
| SliMM | Fryguy--: one more problem now: I can cd and mkdir via ssh, but not via nautilus' sftp connection | 20:55 |
| WebcamWonder | Pizarro2: Was this application compiled/written by Microsoft Visual Studio? | 20:55 |
| Jowi | ]RandoM[, I haven't used any linux vpn clients. perhaps the info is listed in "sudo ifconfig"? | 20:55 |
| === Lurkinson1 is now known as hornyhamster | ||
| achilles | bobertos: I only messed with the input device and never did i do anything with the video are. if I pasted my xorg.conf to you would you be able to tell if there is a problem? cause I have no idea | 20:55 |
| Pizarro2 | WebcamWonder, well actually using Lab Windows (National INstruments) | 20:55 |
| ]RandoM[ | ok, maybe my sys admin will know what's up | 20:56 |
| WebcamWonder | Pizarro2: I have no clue what that is, but google search suggests it is a part of visual studio compiled apps... if they are related you might want to try winetricks | 20:56 |
| Pizarro2 | WebcamWonder, the app is working fine, excepts one of its features wich is to create and opens mdb files (access) | 20:56 |
| Jowi | ]RandoM[, when you find the dns ip address, see if you can ping it. yeah, your sysadm should know. | 20:56 |
| Pizarro2 | WebcamWonder, and that's why it needs the database_.. dll file | 20:57 |
| bobertdos | achilles: I suppose I could try, although I'm not very good at reading those system files. There weren't any restricted drivers, I assume? | 20:57 |
| Pizarro2 | WebcamWonder, winetricks? | 20:57 |
| ]RandoM[ | jowi: ok thanks | 20:57 |
| SliMM | Fryguy--: any idea why? | 20:57 |
| achilles | bobertdos: no there were not | 20:57 |
| WebcamWonder | Pizarro2: http://wiki.winehq.org/winetricks <= used to solve common problems like missing dlls and programs (including access and visual studio | 20:57 |
| Fryguy-- | SliMM: no | 20:57 |
| SliMM | Fryguy--: ok, I'll reboot then | 20:58 |
| Pizarro2 | WebcamWonder, ok thanks I'm going to take a look to it | 20:58 |
| WebcamWonder | Pizarro2: Correcting myself visual studio runtime files | 20:58 |
| Fryguy-- | SliMM: ? | 20:58 |
| Fryguy-- | SliMM: why | 20:58 |
| SliMM | Fryguy--: perhaps it will help | 20:58 |
| Fryguy-- | SliMM: help what | 20:58 |
| Fryguy-- | SliMM: you pretty much never have to reboot | 20:58 |
| WebcamWonder | Pizarro2: mfc42 MS mfc42 (see vcrun6 below) is a listed fix under winetricks, good for you :) | 20:59 |
| SliMM | Fryguy--: well I see no other way of being able to write to that folder via sftp :-? | 20:59 |
| Fryguy-- | SliMM: use ssh:// instead of sftp:// | 20:59 |
| Jowi | SliMM, your ftp server is probably set to "jail" you into your home directory | 20:59 |
| Fryguy-- | Jowi: he's not funning an ftp server | 20:59 |
| Jowi | Fryguy--, ah | 21:00 |
| mud | miesco - type "df" to see which device is which | 21:00 |
| mud | miesco - or "sudo fdisk -l" | 21:01 |
| poli | What would be the best way to partition a 8.04 server with RAID1, encrypted partition and LVM under it? I tried doing it manually but the support for encryption wasn't included in initramfs. | 21:02 |
| bobertdos | achilles: What version of Ubuntu are you running? | 21:02 |
| Pizarro2 | WebcamWonder, MFC42 installed, now the app doesn't ask me again for the database_dll, but it cant's open a conenction... | 21:03 |
| SliMM | Fryguy--: can I use ssh:// in nautilus? | 21:03 |
| WebcamWonder | Pizarro2: any specific errors, also try the vcrun6 as it includes a few more dlls | 21:04 |
| H4LL0CK | hello | 21:04 |
| Pizarro2 | WebcamWonder, yes and also I'm installing the jet engine, since is the one for mdb files | 21:04 |
| H4LL0CK | anyone knows to install the FluxBox in Ubuntu Hardy Heron | 21:04 |
| Fryguy-- | H4LL0CK: sudo apt-get install fluxbox | 21:05 |
| H4LL0CK | mmm | 21:05 |
| DaveG| | anyone know how to stream audio output other the internet? | 21:05 |
| H4LL0CK | yes | 21:05 |
| Fryguy-- | DaveG|: icecast | 21:05 |
| H4LL0CK | i do this before | 21:05 |
| DaveG| | Fryguy--, that streams the audio that is being played? | 21:05 |
| Fryguy-- | H4LL0CK: great, so it is installed | 21:05 |
| Fryguy-- | DaveG|: no | 21:05 |
| Fryguy-- | DaveG|: use pulseaudio for that | 21:05 |
| H4LL0CK | no | 21:05 |
| Fryguy-- | H4LL0CK: yes | 21:05 |
| DaveG| | Fryguy--, how would i do it to a windows machine? would they have to have pulseaudio? | 21:05 |
| H4LL0CK | ok | 21:05 |
| jbroome | maybe? | 21:06 |
| H4LL0CK | lol | 21:06 |
| Fryguy-- | DaveG|: yes | 21:06 |
| krish | hi, mail to trademarks@ubuntu.com is bouncing back | 21:06 |
| krish | any help? | 21:06 |
| DaveG| | Fryguy--, is it simple to set up... =/ | 21:06 |
| Fryguy-- | DaveG|: no | 21:06 |
| DaveG| | Fryguy--, will you give me an answer that's good ? :P | 21:06 |
| Fryguy-- | DaveG|: no | 21:06 |
| DaveG| | haha | 21:06 |
| DaveG| | damn you | 21:06 |
| H4LL0CK | i probed to install it in the Synaptic and wasn´t fluxbox | 21:06 |
| Fryguy-- | !pulse | DaveG| | 21:06 |
| ubottu | DaveG|: PulseAudio is a sound server intended as a drop-in replacement for !ESD - See https://wiki.ubuntu.com/PulseAudio for information and installation instructions | 21:06 |

| IndyGunFreak | WT: you can, but its a pain, what makes you tyhink your cdburner is dead? | 21:55 |
| WT | IndyGunFreak: It says my Hardy disk is blank | 21:56 |
| WT | it isn't | 21:56 |
| WT | I just burned 2 of them with a windows machine | 21:56 |
| WT | it won't boot from the cd | 21:56 |
| IndyGunFreak | how are you burning it? | 21:56 |
| Mimi | Can't he use WUBI ? | 21:56 |
| IndyGunFreak | yeah,. wubi could work | 21:56 |
| IndyGunFreak | !wubi | 21:56 |
| ubottu | Wubi is an Ubuntu installer for Windows users that allows you to install and uninstall Ubuntu like a Windows application, in a simple and safe way. http://wubi-installer.org/support.php for troubleshooting. Please file bugs at http://launchpad.net/wubi/+filebug. | 21:56 |
| halobec | malocite did you install the ndiswrapper ? | 21:56 |
| army | hoarycripple: the original author | 21:57 |
| Mimi | if you go to that website, read the FAQ too | 21:57 |
| IndyGunFreak | i personally hate wubi, but if you have no cd drive, and you want to try Ubuntu, wubi is the easiest way | 21:57 |
| WT | IndyGunFreak: I burned it on windows...I'm sure the disk is ok | 21:57 |
| WT | it works on the windows machine | 21:57 |
| IndyGunFreak | WT: the disk works on the windows machine, so when you insert the disk, you see file son the disk? | 21:57 |
| WT | IndyGunFreak: yeah autoruns | 21:57 |
| VladimirBG | acpi maintainer around perhaps? | 21:58 |
| WT | IndyGunFreak: but on my linux laptop it says the disk is blank | 21:58 |
| Mighty_Penguin | how can i vnc into another computer with that current session? for example right after i start i type `vncserver' and on another computer i connect to it, but it looks totally different, how can i fix this? | 21:58 |
| WT | IndyGunFreak: I'm running gutsy | 21:58 |
| IndyGunFreak | WT: hmm, seems that could be a problem.. have you tried booting that disk? | 21:58 |
| WT | IndyGunFreak: yeah... nothing | 21:58 |
| IndyGunFreak | hmm, that kinda sucks. | 21:58 |
| WT | IndyGunFreak: just boots from the hard drive -- gutsy | 21:58 |
| IndyGunFreak | can you boot a thumb drive(and do you have one) | 21:58 |
| IndyGunFreak | WT: and you're sure the CD is first in the boot sequence in your bios? | 21:59 |
| WT | IndyGunFreak: I have a 160gb external drive and a 1gb thumb | 21:59 |
| WT | IndyGunFreak: yeah :) | 21:59 |
| IndyGunFreak | WT: can you boot a USB device though? | 21:59 |
| WT | IndyGunFreak: the drive is dead, I'm sure | 21:59 |

| WT | IndyGunFreak: yeah.. USB boot is no problem | 21:59 |

It has just returned for the second time after 3 days of waiting. When it didnt work, the network assistant would see my wireless realm but it couldnt connect. What can i do to prevent this from happening again? | 22:10 |
| dqb | it seesm parts of the FUSE package are missing... | 22:10 |
| Mimi | Flux-D, the difference between a hda and sda is the type of hard disk you have on your box (ide or scsi | 22:10 |
| marvin__ | arcos: use wicd | 22:10 |
| arcos | how do i get ti | 22:10 |
| arcos | it | 22:10 |
| marvin__ | arcos: You may need to reinstall your network firmware driver | 22:10 |
| marvin__ | search google :p | 22:10 |

| marvin__ | search google for it | 22:11 |
| WT | IndyGunFreak: thanks... trying unetbootin... seems to be working | 22:11 |
| Mimi | Oh yea!, is there a way to make the network applet / keyring , not ask me for the keyring password whenever i want to connect to my wireless? (without recompiling the applet) | 22:11 |
| marvin__ | arcos: the thing is , is that once you upgrade to hardy your network firmware settings get messed up, thatz why you have to reinstall | 22:11 |
| marvin__ | Mimi: use wicd | 22:11 |
| arcos | okay | 22:11 |
| arcos | so first i download wicd | 22:11 |

| spiritssigh1 | ok know I reboot the system or just do the ctrl - alt -backspace thing | 22:42 |
| Bidget | ubuntu-user2, I think as long as you set up your partitions right it shouldn't be a problem, I have windows xp and ubuntu on my computer and it works fine | 22:42 |
| john__ | thanks | 22:42 |
| l815 | does KDE's power manager work for gnome? | 22:42 |
| Dr_willis_ | ubuntu-user2, you may have to manually eit the gentoos grub config, and rerun the gentoo grub installer to let gentoo controll the mbr. | 22:42 |
| iplaythisgame | ubuntu-user2, ubuntu's installer is pretty good at seeing other os instalations | 22:42 |
| ubuntu-user2 | Bidget: ok, on step 7 of the livecd installer, clicking on advanced shows "Install boot loader" is checked | 22:43 |

| Leefmc | Bah suck. Recordmy desktop has a bug in it. Anyone know if the newer version has a deb package anywhere? (3.7.3) | 22:43 |
| IndyGunFreak | Leefmc: can you compile it from source? | 22:43 |
| ubuntu-user2 | ok guys so it says install boot loader under step 7. and I thought I'd just select my boot device. However, that might cause issues with the previous grub entries getting overwritten.... which is something that is crucial to keep.... | 22:44 |
| Leefmc | IndyGunFreak: Maybe heh, being new it sort of sucks. But i will try (i already tried, but i need to install more support for it iirc) | 22:44 |
| Bidget | hey IndyGunFreak is there a command I can use when I type 'make' or whatever to make it go to 32-bit or something? Or something similar? | 22:44 |
| IndyGunFreak | Leefmc: hold on a sec. | 22:44 |
| IndyGunFreak | Leefmc: where did you download the source code? | 22:44 |
| unop | Bidget, are you on a 32bit system at the moment? | 22:44 |
| Dr_willis_ | ubuntu-user2, the grub menu.lst will still be there. so you really wont lose much. You will just have to reinstall grub to use the proper root/menu.lst | 22:44 |
| Bidget | unop, no I have an amd64 | 22:45 |
| Mimi | Why can't I play games and listen to music at the same time? :P | 22:45 |
| Leefmc | IndyGunFreak: http://recordmydesktop.sourceforge.net/downloads.php | 22:45 |
| unop | Bidget, look into cross compiling for a different architecture then | 22:45 |
| ubuntu-user2 | Dr_willis_: ok cool. Then I can use the ubuntu grub entries and the gentoo grub entries and consolidate them later....? | 22:45 |
| IndyGunFreak | Leefmc: did you download the gtk version? | 22:45 |
| Leefmc | IndyGunFreak: Dont need the gtk | 22:45 |
| Bidget | unop, ok. Can you point me in any specific direction? Im pretty new haha | 22:45 |
| popey | IndyGunFreak: sudo apt-get source gtk-recordmydesktop | 22:45 |
| IndyGunFreak | Leefmc: ok, well, i have no idea how to use the cli version. | 22:45 |
| Leefmc | IndyGunFreak: The bug is in recordmydesktop, so first that needs to work heh | 22:45 |
| hoarycripple | Strictmasterr, first, is the external drive mounted read-write? Check /etc/mtab. If it is, then chmod -R ugo+rw | 22:46 |
| Dr_willis_ | ubuntu-user2, yes. ubuntu however often auto-updates the grub/menu.lst - so it might 'rewrite' the mbr to use its own menu.lst after a upgrade.. I normally let ubuntu controll the boot loader. :) | 22:46 |
| Leefmc | IndyGunFreak: Well, what are you trying to do? I can give you the commands | 22:46 |
| unop | Bidget, heh, i would go on google myself :) i don't have any specific bookmarks or such | 22:46 |
| IndyGunFreak | popey: its actually sudo apt-get build-dep gtk-recordmydesktop but that doesn't guarantee all sources are met | 22:46 |

| IndyGunFreak | i was just curious. | 22:46 |
| Bidget | unop, alright well I'll see what I can come up with thanks :) | 22:46 |
| Dr_willis_ | ubuntu-user2, if you have each os on its own HD. you could have grub just boot the mbr of the other hd.. that would keep them seperate | 22:46 |
| Leefmc | IndyGunFreak: Ok.. heh, im confused on what you want ;P | 22:47 |
| ubuntu-user2 | Dr_willis_: no problem if ubuntu wants to control boot sequence. As long as I can handle the gentoo entries, it will be fine. And sounds like it. So I shouldn't change anything in the installer and just proceed to install the to emptry parition, right? | 22:47 |
| IndyGunFreak | Leefmc: i don't want anything, you asked about recordmydesktop.. saying you needed more sources. | 22:47 |
| ubuntu-user2 | Dr_willis_: na 12G hd... old laptop. | 22:47 |
| Dr_willis_ | ubuntu-user2, right. then later you look at the gentoo grub menu.lst and copy/paste the proper entries to the end of the ubuntu menu.lst | 22:47 |
| IndyGunFreak | Leefmc: try this.. run sudo apt-get build-dep recordmydesktop in a terminal, and then try compiling again.. may/may not work | 22:47 |
| Leefmc | IndyGunFreak: Yea, for compiling (zlib, etc), i just need to download them | 22:47 |

| joel_ | is there a way to disable the vertical scroll from switching workspaces? | 23:07 |
| Squares | Well how do i take them out | 23:07 |
| alex-weej | joel_: install compizconfig-settings-manager and find the viewport switcher options | 23:07 |
| alex-weej | Squares: first of all ask the question why you are building your own kernel modules | 23:07 |
| keaton | Greets, #ubuntu. | 23:08 |

| christo_m | Im getting some error about the disc being faulty when installing via Wubi, i md5sum'd the ISO and it's fine, any ideas? | 23:08 |

| Squares | i dont know what you mean | 23:08 |
| kalila | .conf | 23:08 |
| joel_ | ok, which option do i disable? | 23:08 |
| alex-weej | Squares: why are you building a kernel? | 23:08 |

| bobertdos | mister7292: Yes, switching kernels could have very well caused problems. For future wireless NIC installations, I would use ndis-gtk. It streamlines the process quite a bit. For the time being though, I'd say the system probably isn't liking having two sets of drivers installed on top of each other. I don't know of a way to remove old versions. | 23:25 |

| TheTjalian | I mean, you could ask ATi yourself, but they'll probably go all "Oh noez linux = no go sorry" | 23:46 |
| Sergeant_Pony | Jack_Sparrow: all fixed and working once again :) | 23:46 |
| mikebo | i've set ALSA in Preferences > Sound but totem-xine seems to be using Pulse, how do i make it use ALSA? | 23:46 |
| CorpseFeeder | TheTjalian, well, they do have linux drivers, but I have no idea how to use them.... | 23:47 |
| giorgos | it seems ok | 23:48 |

| ubottu | pastebin is a service to post multiple-lined texts so you don't flood the channel. The Ubuntu pastebin is at http://paste.ubuntu.com (make sure you give us the URL for your paste - see also the channel topic) | 23:49 |
| kjdro | hmmmm curious... as i see lspci gives me only these: 00::11.0 Bridge: nVidia Corporation MCP55 Ethernet (rev a2) | 23:49 |
| giorgos | so what is the problem and i cannot see tv? | 23:49 |
| giorgos | can i use a windows program for that? | 23:49 |
| kjdro | that is the only thing close to eth driver.. and there are 2 lines like the above .. is this ok ? | 23:49 |
| joel_ | how do you enable the default desktop icons? | 23:49 |
| PorkSoda | I'm running a program under wine, and the icon for it has disappeared in the gnome-panel, and the program is minimized, but still running as sys monitor shows,, how do I at least get it to unmimize? | 23:50 |
| TheTjalian | PorkSoda - doesn't Ubuntu have an Alt+Tab feature? | 23:51 |
| TheTjalian | so you can scroll through the programs | 23:51 |
| === Odd-rationale_ is now known as Odd-rationale | ||
| kenbw2 | yea, alt+tab | 23:51 |
| TheTjalian | or is that a windows only thing | 23:51 |
| kenbw2 | it works the same | 23:51 |
| timz1 | how do i run something in the terminal as root when its in /media/..., it says not a directory | 23:51 |
| timz1 | ? | 23:51 |
| TheTjalian | ah ok, good | 23:51 |
| drpcken | TheTjalian, are you on windows? | 23:52 |
| TheTjalian | yes | 23:52 |
| kenbw2 | or if you use Compiz you can Super+Tab | 23:52 |
| drpcken | lol yea i thought so if you would ask about alt tab without trying it | 23:52 |
| DJAdmiral | or as I like to call it, Tux+Tab | 23:52 |
| TheTjalian | yeah hehe | 23:52 |
| DJAdmiral | I renamed my win key to the Tux key | 23:52 |
| TheTjalian | Hehe, Tux+Tab | 23:52 |
| kenbw2 | ye, i want a Tux ky | 23:52 |
| PorkSoda | Yes, apparently alt-tab only shows what is in the gnome-toolbar though. | 23:52 |
| DJAdmiral | I even put tux stickers on them | 23:52 |
| Xodiac13 | can someone please help me | 23:52 |
| DJAdmiral | !ask | 23:52 |
| timz1 | my keyboard has a tux :) | 23:52 |
| ubottu | 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. :-) | 23:52 |
| TheTjalian | hmm, that's weird | 23:52 |
| PorkSoda | Good suggestion, gave me hope, but didn't work. :P ;l | 23:52 |
| Xodiac13 | i need help with running a program that i have installed | 23:53 |
| TheTjalian | is there some sort of task manager? perhaps bringing this up god let you maximise it | 23:53 |
| Xodiac13 | its called flightgear, alien arena 2007, and super mario chronicles | 23:53 |
| TheTjalian | up could* | 23:53 |
| kjdro | hmm, it seems i have a lot of unknown devices ... is there a way to install them ... i have nvidia based motherb board | 23:53 |
| kenbw2 | @Xodiac i assume youve tried looking in Applications | 23:53 |
| DJAdmiral | Xodiac13: that's three programs. games, rather. | 23:53 |
| Xodiac13 | i looked in | 23:54 |
| Xodiac13 | application under games | 23:54 |
| DJAdmiral | Xodiac13: But what exactly is the problem? | 23:54 |
| Xodiac13 | and i cant find them well how do i start playing the games | 23:54 |
| timz1 | if i do "cd /media/..." it works, but i need to do it as root, how do i get to it as root? it says "not a directory" | 23:54 |
| Xodiac13 | i dont know how to run them | 23:54 |
| kenbw2 | theyre not listed? | 23:54 |
| Tully | Hi I installed Ubuntu in my free partition space. I was running CentOS. Now ubuntu is installed and running fine but CentOS is not in the bootloader option menu. Is there a way I could fix the bootloader to show both Ubuntu and CentOS? | 23:54 |
| DJAdmiral | Tully, edit your /boot/grub.lst | 23:54 |
| john__ | yes | 23:54 |
| Fryguy-- | Tully: edit /boot/grub/menu.lst | 23:55 |
| soundray | PorkSoda: if it has vanished from the gnome window list, it's probably not in a useful state now. If it was my system, I'd kill that program. | 23:55 |
| bigbadjesus | does anyone know of a way to put a panel for the file manager in my taskbar | 23:55 |
| akuma5 | i need help me add a drive to samba through swat | 23:55 |

| Fryguy-- | akuma5: try #samba | 23:55 |
| kenbw2 | @bigbadjsus what do you mean | 23:55 |
| DJAdmiral | bigbadjesus: simply make a panel shortcut to nautilus | 23:55 |
| kenbw2 | oh right | 23:55 |
| bigbadjesus | ok | 23:56 |
| kenbw2 | right-click > Add to Panel | 23:56 |
| kenbw2 | Custom Launcher | 23:56 |
| john__ | <i am not that good in samba | 23:56 |
| kenbw2 | in Command type Nautilus | 23:56 |
| kenbw2 | nautilus* | 23:56 |
| DJAdmiral | lowercase nautilus | 23:56 |
| akuma5 | <Fryguy--> i been in there since yesterday nobody have said a word in 48 hours | 23:56 |
| Tully | how can I figure out what to put in the menu.lst for the duel boot? So that centos will show. Is there a way I can bring up the options or mount the old hd to look at the centos grub list? | 23:56 |
| soundray | bigbadjesus: or just drag Home Folder from the Places menu to the panel. | 23:56 |
| spiritssight | I am trying to get help with my monitor(s) issues, any one here able to help or point me to a IRC room that would be good??? (ATI - Dell E1505 - NEC exatinal) | 23:56 |

| Xiro | I can't get Compiz to work, I have installed it via an update and through the update managers, but the compiz icon is not in the programs list or system list | 23:57 |

| kenbw2 | type in Terminal "compiz --replace" | 23:57 |
| Fryguy-- | Xiro: it's a window manager, it's probably running right now | 23:57 |
| Fryguy-- | Xiro: go to the system appearances menu and make sure that 3d effects are enabled | 23:58 |
| te_ | hello folks | 23:58 |
| soundray | PorkSoda: I see, so it's detached and doesn't have a window. Is there any problem with it then? | 23:58 |
| PorkSoda | I restarted gnome-panel and "compiz to no avail, I'm checking out wmctrl now | 23:58 |
| te_ | how do i restore grub to what it was at the installation | 23:58 |

| WT | does anyone know how to keep windows from stealing focus -- it's the worst feature of OSs | 23:58 |
| Fryguy-- | !grub | te_ | 23:58 |
| ubottu | te_: grub is the default Ubuntu boot manager. Lost grub after installing windows: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/RecoveringUbuntuAfterInstallingWindows - Making GRUB floppies & other GRUB howtos: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/GrubHowto | 23:58 |

| nickolaus | is there an overly aggressive wifi connection handler for ubuntu?> | 23:58 |
| timz1 | about editing /boot/grub/menu.lst since some configuring after installing ubuntu i have Ubuntu 8.04.1, kernel 2.6.24-16-generic and ~(generic mode) twice and i have the exact same text twice in menu.lst, can i just delete one of them? | 23:58 |
| Xiro | Fryguy--: I am sure it's not running, cause I can't activate the 3D effects in System>Settings>Apperance | 23:59 |
| soundray | te_: move your existing menu.lst out of the way and create a new one with 'sudo update-grub' | 23:59 |
| PorkSoda | soundray, I jsut tweaked wine a bit, and am wondering if I messed it up, I'm going to ask in wine also, but figure it is more of a gnome thing. | 23:59 |
| DJAdmiral | ubunubi: possibly | 23:59 |
| Fryguy-- | WT: the OS isn't what is responsible for that, it's the window manager, and so it depends on what window manager you are using. if you don't lik ethe behavior of your window manager and it's not configurable to your needs, there are dozens of others to try if you would like | 23:59 |
