| unop | lenswipe, answers are not always available here -- you might like to check the forums, documentation and other sources for any information that might help you | 00:01 |
| crimsun | rgb: hmm, there's a possible usb controller issue, but I don't think it's too likely [yet] | 00:01 |
| Algeris | so people are still active here, flowing in the river not frozen in time | 00:02 |
| Shujah | lenswipe: go to usr/share/icons/human <-thats the icon theme - change the file after renaming the last one as .old | 00:02 |
| crimsun | rgb: if you play the same song (so that it's cached), is the symptom reproducible? | 00:02 |
| rgb | crimsun: That would mean both my HD is failing AND my USB ports are fucked. How likely are both outside of the motherboard just being dead, which isn't the case I assuem since I can still use my PC. | 00:02 |

| spork969 | devaudio: "dd: reading '/dev/cdrom': Input output error" | 00:04 |
| unop | Apophis__, the fact that you can process bigger chunks of data can mean you get the job done quicker - hence faster :) depends on the algorithm doing the data processing tho | 00:04 |
| luke__ | how do you check your usb ports | 00:04 |
| Shujah | lenswipe, I havent myself changed the main menu but try usr/share/icons.human/24x24(that is default)/places/gnome-main-menu make sure you are using human | 00:04 |
| MpChester | i installed ubuntu on a different harddrive then my windows installation .. ubuntu boots fine but during the bootloader it gives me the option for windows .. but when i click it it gives me "Error 25: Disk read error" Press any key to continue | 00:04 |
| Apophis__ | yeah unop - effectively faster - but not because it's still not 45nm | 00:04 |
| Apophis__ | :P | 00:04 |
| unop | W89, not much faster but see my last post | 00:04 |
| Shujah | MpChester, you are not giving the right hd of windows :D | 00:05 |

| Apophis__ | bluetooth master where art thou? | 00:05 |
| ScaryLptp | it's pretty hilarious that the windows key, in Ubuntu, is called the Super key, especially since I'm hating every aspect of Ubunto so far. :P | 00:05 |
| Algeris | format c: and all problems vanish | 00:05 |
| Apophis__ | yes | 00:05 |
| Apophis__ | hehe | 00:05 |
| Apophis__ | that was the worst change in the thinkpad lineup | 00:05 |
| Apophis__ | to add the windows key | 00:05 |
| spork969 | devaudio: never mind, its quicker to just right click on the cd and hit copy and then choose copy to file. thanks though. | 00:06 |

| burner | anyone have a .deb for rhythmbox 0.11.6? | 00:06 |
| acid2_ | erm, any tips for getting fonts to look half decent in Ubuntu? Mainly monospace fonts - both Monospace and Inconsolata look rubbish - very blurry, and the spacing between letters is wrong | 00:06 |

| MpChester | Thanks :) | 00:07 |
| rgb | crimsun: It played back completely this time. Now I'm totally lost, hehe. | 00:07 |
| crimsun | rgb: I would not suspect bad RAM. | 00:07 |
| crimsun | rgb: I would suspect a controller issue if it is in fact reproducible across usb mass storage devices | 00:08 |
| rgb | crimsun: Ok, and the song played find after having it play to about halfway before. | 00:08 |
| Shujah | acid2_ mewnu>system>preferences>appearence>fonts change subpixel smoothing if on lcd | 00:08 |
| rgb | crimsun: Which controller? | 00:08 |
| crimsun | rgb: usb 2.0 | 00:08 |
| W89 | is used as the bluetoot? | 00:08 |
| rgb | crimsun: That would mean it should play fine over HD, no? | 00:08 |
| unop | burner, looks like you will have to compile from source and make the .deb yourself - even intrepid only has 11.5 | 00:09 |
| rgb | crimsun: Which as we already found out was not the case. | 00:09 |
| devaudio | remove auto-sigs, should I use a .forward file or something internal to postfix | 00:09 |
| crimsun | rgb: note that I'm glossing over some issues; it's not necessarily hardware; it can be a kernel issue. There's at least one known kernel issue with usb 2.0 controllers. | 00:09 |
| rgb | crimsun: Shall I mount the HD again and play the same song stored there? | 00:09 |
| Doppp | ubuntu rocks | 00:10 |
| crimsun | rgb: and/or try a different one not cached in RAM | 00:10 |
| rgb | crimsun: Will try both. | 00:10 |

| unop | muibe, if the admin used syslog effectively, he'd know | 00:11 |
| rgb | crimsun: Same song, on HD. | 00:11 |
| burner | unop: so much work though to get all hte plugins and what not working correctly and i'm lazy... ;) | 00:11 |
| unop | burner, well, it doesn't appear that anyone has compiled it and made .debs available, i did look on PPA and intrepid - and it's only 5 minutes work :) go on, contribute to ubuntu :) | 00:12 |

| ubunubi | LieZ^: it's always preferred to install from the repo, so all the depencies and whatnot can be managed, and an uninstall be easy and be sure you don't have any conflicts | 00:31 |
| lenswipe | ubuntubi: now what.. | 00:31 |
| ubunubi | LieZ^: you should double check you have all the offical repo's turned on | 00:31 |
| aesonn | can you install oracle from the repo? | 00:32 |

| Jai`Lemon | Anyone ever heard of ChaCha? (chacha.com) - I work for them from home making $15/hour, google it, it's reputable. Just thought I'd share it. I have invites if anyone wants. It's hard to get hired without one. You get paid via a refillable debit card anytime you want. It's linked a real checking account. It's a real company, you work as an indepent contractor.

| bayden | i downloaded2.3 gb for that | 00:35 |
| Shujah | bayden: ? | 00:35 |
| lenswipe | ubuntubi: kk sec | 00:35 |

| lenswipe | ubuntubi: that didnt help at all :( | 00:36 |
| unbuntu | can someone help me with display server problem | 00:36 |
| Shujah | lenswipe, dude make a new profile and make it default | 00:36 |
| rgb | bayden: Eh, it being 700 MB does not guarantee that it's a movie. | 00:36 |
| lenswipe | shujah: HOW???? | 00:36 |
| rgb | bayden: Might also be a game, or just more useless padded anti-p2p files. | 00:37 |
| bayden | it is | 00:37 |
| lenswipe | Shujah: i cant open the terminal... | 00:37 |
| overlordpuppy | Is there a package for openlibraries? | 00:37 |

| unop | ra21vi, when you set a binary as setuid and use a call such as seteuid()/setreuid() to escalate process privileges -- EUID is the ID of the user whose privileges are being used by the binary after the call, RUID or UID is the ID of the user who invoked the binary -- this does not really apply to scripts tho, only compiled binaries | 00:37 |
| lenswipe | Shujah: now what? | 00:37 |

| Musli | can anyone help me i'm really in need for some help | 00:38 |
| rgb | bayden: That's not correct. Sure, most movies are encoded to a target size of 700 MB to fit on a CD, but it can just as well be 2 gigabytes for quality. | 00:38 |
| lenswipe | what do i call it? | 00:38 |
| rgb | Saying it's a movie _because_ it's 700 MB is wrong thinking. | 00:38 |
| Shujah | lenswipe, edit > profiles > new | 00:38 |
| lenswipe | Shujah: what do i call it? | 00:38 |
| makkbe_ | Musli: help with what? | 00:38 |

| majortool | how do i set shortcuts for individual applications in gnome | 00:38 |
| majortool | ? | 00:38 |
| ubunubi | lenswipe:: while you're in that sudo terminal rm -r ~/.gconf/apps/gnome-terminal/profiles -- if his suggestion doesn't work | 00:39 |
| bayden | but its 700mb it says | 00:39 |
| Shujah | lenswipe, base it on default | 00:39 |
| lenswipe | Shujah: your sujjestion did not wok | 00:39 |
| rgb | bayden: Never mind. I apparently can't make myself understandable, sorry. | 00:39 |
| lenswipe | Shujah: shall i: rm -r ~/.gconf/apps/gnome-terminal/profiles | 00:39 |
| Shujah | lenswipe, ubunubi can guide you to that solution | 00:40 |
| lenswipe | ubuntubi: shall i just run rm -r ~/.gconf/apps/gnome-terminal/profiles | 00:40 |
| ubunubi | lenswipe: i would | 00:40 |
| lenswipe | kk | 00:40 |
| krel | is there any way to use xvnc4viewer in fullscreen without needing to exit fullscreen mode to change workspaces? | 00:40 |

| crimsun | rgb: right | 00:41 |
| Musli | i cant get the damn flash thing to work correct some sites i cant even visit because of to much lag | 00:42 |
| Shujah | lenswipe, then it will take you to the customizable part, colors and all? | 00:42 |
| lenswipe | Shujah: yep | 00:42 |
| rgb | crimsun: Any ideas? | 00:42 |
| crimsun | rgb: at this point, because we've ruled out ALSA and PulseAudio, you'd need to do some legwork on patterns | 00:42 |
| Kohlrak | musli, hardy or gutsy? | 00:42 |
| Musli | hardy | 00:42 |
| Shujah | lenswipe, there change the color to black on white | 00:42 |
| lenswipe | Shujah: i can completely remake a terminal profile, its just when i open my terminal from Applications:Terminal it crashes | 00:42 |
| Kohlrak | you using the nonfree plugin or gnash? | 00:42 |
| rgb | crimsun: Okay. No idea what you mean. | 00:43 |
| mattx86 | is there a guide for setting up a samba (standalone with unix user authentication) on ubuntu server 8.04 lts? | 00:43 |
| lenswipe | Shujah: done. | 00:43 |

| Shujah | lenswipe, then sudo terminal again and make the new profile default i.e. open newname profile when launching | 00:43 |
| Musli | this lag is really bugging me :( | 00:43 |
| Kohlrak | musli, gnash or nonfree? | 00:43 |
| jyoseph | anyone have a program they'd recommend for capturing video on your screen? | 00:43 |

| rgb | crimsun: Ah, that kind of patterning. | 00:44 |
| jyoseph | i.e. - gawker | 00:44 |
| crimsun | rgb: without using systrace, it's a bit difficult for me to continue. | 00:44 |
| Shujah | nope have you made a new profile yet... ? | 00:44 |
| lenswipe | Shujah: i have 1 profile apart from Default, thats all | 00:44 |
| Musli | nonfree | 00:44 |

| powertool08 | teq: for an exact copy of a partition, dd /dev/old partition /dev/new partition | 00:47 |
| rgb | crimsun: Any idea on how it's related to video and those interupting during playback? | 00:47 |
| Musli | and my cpu is like on 90 % all the time on that site | 00:47 |
| monostone | what function does the clone output in compiz serve? | 00:47 |
| Kohlrak | musli, nothing you can do. It's a problem in every OS and it's the site owner's fault. | 00:47 |
| teq | powertool08: how do i check the name of my hd? | 00:47 |
| Musli | is it? | 00:47 |
| Kohlrak | He has too much flash, too many images, and so forth | 00:47 |

| lenswipe | Shujah: i know | 00:47 |
| paul_5666 | hi all, i just accidentally deleted all the files in one of my folders, ive unmounted that drive, and im trying to use e2undel but it wont make. does anybody know any other solutions. | 00:47 |
| Musli | www.aftonbladet.se | 00:48 |
| rgb | Musli: If you use Firefox you can install FlashBlock. | 00:48 |
| Musli | cant do anything on that site | 00:48 |
| lenswipe | Shujah: ive done that but when i launch a terminal it launches in black on white | 00:48 |
| Musli | i have flashblock rgb | 00:48 |
| rgb | Musli: That way the flash doesn't get loaded when you visit the site. | 00:48 |
| lenswipe | Shujah: and it crashes | 00:48 |
| rgb | Musli: Only after you let it. | 00:48 |
| Shujah | so whjat does it crash | 00:48 |
| powertool08 | teq: its usually /dev/hda where hda could be hdb, sda, sdb, etc | 00:48 |
| ubunubi | lenswipe:: my next solution would be opening synaptic and search for gnome-terminal, and set it to: reinstall | 00:48 |
| Shujah | lenswipe, wait a sec lemme check something | 00:48 |
| lenswipe | Shujah: PM me and ill speak to you there | 00:48 |
| lenswipe | Shujah its hard to explain on 1 line | 00:48 |
| Kohlrak | Musli, that site is 70% images, 10% flash, and 19% javascript, have fun | 00:49 |
| teq | powertool08: would that be "dd" or "cp"? | 00:49 |
| rgb | Musli: I can visit the site fine, but that's because I have no flash installed due to using the Live CD atm. | 00:49 |
| rgb | Musli: So if you wish to use that site, using Firefox with the Flashblock add-on will help you. | 00:49 |
| Musli | yeah rgb i know i used the live cd and it worked fine for me to | 00:49 |
| powertool08 | teq: dd copies byte per byte, cp is usued for moving single files, small folders | 00:49 |
| paul_5666 | hi all, i just accidentally deleted all the files in one of my folders, ive unmounted that drive, and im trying to use e2undel but it wont make. does anybody know any other solutions. | 00:50 |
| Kohlrak | rgb, the problem is the site not flash. Flash isn't even so much the problem as all the images. Look at them. Not to mention it's go a javascript thing going down the right side. | 00:50 |
| teq | powertool08: thanks man | 00:50 |
| flavio | alguem fala portugues? | 00:50 |
| powertool08 | teq: np | 00:50 |
| achilles | I accidentally removed myself as admin can anyone tell me how to fix this??? | 00:50 |
| ubunubi | paul_5666: you mean it won't compile...or isn't recovering your files properly? | 00:50 |
| rgb | Kohlrak: Flashblock takes out all the flash that might be on the site. | 00:50 |
| paul_5666 | ubunubi: wont compile | 00:51 |
| rgb | If the Javascript is messing up, also use NoScript, which you should be using anyways if you use Firefox. | 00:51 |
| lensy | Shujah: my whole laptop just died | 00:51 |
| ubunubi | paul_5666: why are you trying to compile it? crap the version from Synaptic so you don't have to compile it | 00:51 |
| Starnestommy | achilles: go into recovery mode, then do gpasswd -a <username> admin | 00:51 |
| ubunubi | paul_5666: grab* | 00:51 |
| paul_5666 | ubunubi: ok thanks | 00:51 |
| Kohlrak | rgb, that might work. Flash gets in the way of good flash sites though, but they're few | 00:51 |
| rgb | Kohlrak: You can choose to let a site use flash when you have Flashblock installed. | 00:52 |

| paul_5666 | ubunubi: ive installed it, but does e2undel read ntfs file systems? | 00:57 |
| digitaltao | apt-get install rar? | 00:57 |
| lenswipe | ubuntubi: something like that, so where do i go from here? | 00:57 |
| lenswipe | ubuntubi: reinstall? | 00:57 |
| ubunubi | paul_5666: no. it's for e2 (ext2), as the name implies | 00:57 |

| ubunubi | paul_5666: sounds like you need to install ntfsprogs package from synaptic..it contains an ntfsundelete | 00:58 |
| td123 | digitaltao: Go to the synaptic package manager, and you will find plenty of neat things in their :) | 00:58 |
| Shujah | digitaltao, install unrar | 00:59 |
| swegner | c0mrade: you can edit the permissions on it to remove read access, but that won't help if you plan to distribute it to others | 00:59 |
| paul_5666 | ubunubi: cheers | 00:59 |
| xzenome | c0mrade, I'm not sure. But could you not just chmod it so that no one has read access to it? | 00:59 |

| lenswipe | ubuntubi: it wont let me right click on it | 01:01 |
| joshual | swegner: yeah but its a bit unecessary ive heard you can install it just as easily on desktop | 01:01 |
| ubunubi | paul_5666: after installing ntfsprogs...type ntfsundelete --help | 01:01 |

| ubunubi | lenswipe:: be googling for locations of bash and terminal and gnome-terminal profiles..since it works for sudo and not your user...it's gotta be a user specific profile problem | 01:08 |

| ubunubi | lenswipe:: you installed fusion-icon and ran metacity --replace, that quickly? | 01:11 |
| lenswipe | --ubuntubi: the file metacity--replace cannot be found | 01:11 |

| ubunubi | lenswipe: you'll need to do it often probably, lol. it's buggy as it gets | 01:15 |
| swegner | Arodon: if you can connect from computers within your LAN but not outside, then it's a matter of your router | 01:15 |
| ERGLupin | im trying to install 8.04.1 on a 2GB thumb drive and it says its too small and needs more than 2GB but on the site it says a 1GB is fine | 01:15 |
| ubunubi | lenswipe: but now you know how | 01:15 |
| enmasse | Stormx2: sorry | 01:15 |
| Stormx2 | Arodon: Apache will accept connections from outside by default. You'll need to set up firewall rules and forward ports on your router, though | 01:15 |
| lenswipe | ubuntubi: yeh probly, thx for ur help anyway | 01:16 |
| ScaryLptp | so what kind of idiotic terminal command do I use to adjust mouse scrolling? cause apparently no one thought to put it with the rest of the mouse preferences. | 01:16 |
| Arodon | swegner, Stormx2: k thanks | 01:16 |
| ubunubi | lenswipe:: np that we killed them all at once :P | 01:16 |
| Shujah | ERGLupin, tried alternative cd? | 01:16 |
| lenswipe | ubuntubi: i recon the thought of a reinstall made me age about 60 years in 2 minutes | 01:16 |
| Stormx2 | !firewall | Arodon, open port 80 using firestarter | 01:16 |
| ubottu | Arodon, open port 80 using firestarter: Ubuntu, like any other linux distribution, has firewall capabilities built-in. The firewall is managed using the 'iptables' command (see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/IptablesHowTo), or GUI applications such as Firestarter (Gnome) or Guarddog (KDE). | 01:16 |
| ERGLupin | Shujah nope just the default one | 01:16 |
| ERGLupin | its want it mentions in the guide | 01:16 |
| ubunubi | lenswipe:: haha, it cant be that bad ;) | 01:16 |
| ERGLupin | actually... | 01:16 |
| lenswipe | ubuntubi: the reinstall is fine, | 01:16 |
| ubunubi | lenswipe:: keep regular backups, and rolling back a few days is never more than 20minutes to a full working system | 01:16 |
| unop | ERGLupin, 1GB wll only give suffice for a very very basic install -- without most desktop features, etc | 01:16 |
| coler41 | can anyone tell me why when i go to hardware drivers I don't see anything. The box is completely empty | 01:17 |
| lenswipe | ubuntubi: its just putting the cofiguration back | 01:17 |
| ERGLupin | unop i just want it to use Aircrack on my MacBook | 01:17 |
| td123 | ScaryLptp: I will suggest google to cool you off | 01:17 |
| ubunubi | lenswipe:: purchase TrueImage Home 10 | 01:17 |
| ERGLupin | and i have a 2GB | 01:17 |
| ERGLupin | but it says its too small | 01:17 |
| lenswipe | ubuntubi: whats one of those? and where can i get one cheaply? | 01:17 |
| ubunubi | lenswipe:: when i foobar'd my entire file system earlier, it took me 15 minutes including reboots, to get back to my system from last week :) | 01:17 |
| Shujah | hardware drivers only mentions non-free drivers | 01:17 |
| Stormx2 | ERGLupin, there are linux distributions specifically designed for security testing, I'd imagine they include aircrack-ng | 01:17 |
| unop | ERGLupin, you'll need to use some other smaller distro then -- or another version of ubuntu - like the !minimal CD | 01:17 |
| swegner | coler41: the hardware drivers dialog will only show restricted drivers. If you don't see any there, you probably don't need them | 01:18 |
| ERGLupin | !minimal CD | 01:18 |
| ubottu | Sorry, I don't know anything about minimal cd | 01:18 |
| Infinito- | enmasse, linux is much better than windows, once you master it. The only advantage of windows are some very good softwares that are developed to run only on windows :/ | 01:18 |
| ubunubi | lenswipe:: http://www.acronis.com/homecomputing/products/trueimage/ | 01:18 |
| unop | !minimal | ERGLupin, | 01:18 |
| ubottu | ERGLupin,: The Minimal CD image is very small in size, and it downloads most packages from the Internet during installation, allowing you to select only those you want (the installer is like the one on the !Alternate CD). See https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Installation/MinimalCD | 01:18 |
| ERGLupin | well that sounds like a pain | 01:18 |
| Shujah | the biggest advantage is win-games but the situations changing | 01:18 |
| ERGLupin | what is a good small linux distro | 01:18 |
| enmasse | Infinito-: i know and thats what bugging me because i do music production so a ton of my apps are gone but also is the problem of an unstable computer | 01:18 |
| ERGLupin | you would recommend for someone who really only has used UBUNTU | 01:18 |
| Stormx2 | Infinito-: Don't say ubuntu is better or worse than windows. That's a value judgement, not a fact. | 01:18 |
| lenswipe | ubuntubi: ty | 01:18 |
| ERGLupin | and works well with MacBook OoTB | 01:18 |
| enmasse | guys i like gnome and all but how can i try kDE? | 01:18 |
| unop | ERGLupin, perhaps slax for your needs - DSL too | 01:18 |
| coler41 | How can I access my hardware. In other words I have 2 video cards. I want to disable one | 01:18 |
| swegner | enmasse: try kubuntu :) | 01:19 |
| ERGLupin | do you know off the top of your head if Slax works out of the box with at least sound mouse and wifi on MacBook? | 01:19 |
| nyko | Good night !!And sweet dreams !! | 01:19 |
| unop | enmasse, install it. sudo aptitude install kde | 01:19 |
| Stormx2 | enmasse, using kde is very easy. Use your favourite package manager to install 'kubuntu-desktop' | 01:19 |
| Arodon | enmasse: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/InstallingKDE | 01:19 |
| WalloO | coler41, if it's an integrated one (in the motherboard), you can disable it from the bios | 01:19 |
| anabolix | is there a movie maker software that comes with ubuntu? | 01:19 |
| Shujah | enmasse you can install kde separately or within ubuntu which willbe messy | 01:20 |
| ubunubi | anabolix: no, not by default. but i'm sure there's quite a few available for download | 01:20 |
| ERGLupin | Shujah i installed it from Synaptic | 01:20 |
| ERGLupin | and it was easy | 01:20 |
| anabolix | ubunubi: any recommended ones>? | 01:20 |
| unop | ERGLupin, not sure of a macbook -- definitely not on a PPC | 01:20 |
| enmasse | hmm thanks for the tips, but i still can't even get tor running :( | 01:20 |
| Shujah | since you have just switched - I'll suggest you unistall ubuntu and try kubuntu - that would be clean and less likely to cause problems | 01:20 |
| ERGLupin | unop its Intel | 01:20 |
| unop | ERGLupin, it ought to then | 01:20 |
| Stormx2 | Shujah: Installing KDE within ubuntu is not messy by any definition of the word. Ubuntu's modular design ensures that it isn't messy. | 01:21 |
| ubunubi | anabolix: what kind of source video format are you working with//importing? | 01:21 |
| paul_5666 | i just tried using ntfsundelete to attempt to recover my files but it didnt work =( no more options | 01:21 |
| ERGLupin | yea if I remember right Slax is known for device support | 01:21 |
| paul_5666 | ? | 01:21 |
| ERGLupin | or was that Knoppix | 01:21 |
| enmasse | but can anyone help me get tor + privoxy running and configured with firefox? | 01:21 |
| Shujah | Stormx2, messy in the sense that too many applications are available for any given task - a somewhat refined user can handle it - but newcomers ought to refrain just my humble view] | 01:21 |
| Don_Miguel | prolly Knoppix | 01:21 |
| unop | ERGLupin, that would be knoppix | 01:21 |
| ERGLupin | ahh yea | 01:21 |
| ubunubi | paul_5666: if ntfsundelete didn't recover them, and you don't want to pay for data recovery -- you're probably not getting that data back | 01:21 |
| anabolix | im not sure, just had a random thought of making a movie by piecing together clips/pics with some music | 01:21 |
| ERGLupin | is there a decent installer with it yet? | 01:21 |
| paul_5666 | ubunubi: ok then thanks for ur help mate | 01:22 |
| ERGLupin | last time I checked it was kind of round about | 01:22 |
| unop | ERGLupin, slax was designed as a security auditor's distro | 01:22 |
| anabolix | ubunubi: im not sure, just had a random thought of making a movie by piecing together clips/pics with some music | 01:22 |
| ubunubi | anabolix:: each movie maker type app will handle some video formats and not others. would help to pick a format so you can pick the app that handles that format the best//easiest | 01:22 |
| ERGLupin | i remember using small Slax distros | 01:22 |
| ERGLupin | from Mini CDs | 01:22 |

| ubunubi | anabolix:: you can try something like pitivi from the repo..it'll handle quite a few common formats b/c it interfaces with gstreamer...if that doesn't float your boat try openmovieeditor | 01:25 |
| Stormx2 | logi4023, how are you connected to the internet? | 01:25 |
| logi4023 | wired/ethernet | 01:25 |
| anabolix | ubunubi: thanks alot for the help :D :D | 01:25 |
| logi4023 | it was working fine for 6 months till today. | 01:25 |
| ubunubi | logi:: is the ping that slow when you're in another OS on the same computer//conenction//ISP ? | 01:25 |
| enmasse | unop: i dont see a file/folder in the bin that says tor??? | 01:25 |
| unop | chrismo16, it's not a good idea adding . to PATH | 01:25 |
| unop | enmasse, bin? | 01:26 |
| Stormx2 | anabolix, other video editors to try: PiTiVi, Kino, Cinepaint | 01:26 |
| ubunubi | logi4023: is it a slow ping to every site or just some? and has it been all day? or just in the last bit? | 01:26 |
| enmasse | unop: yes im in username/bin looking for a tor file or folder | 01:26 |
| unop | enmasse, why username/bin .. i said /usr/bin | 01:26 |
| td123 | Stormx2: how about cinerrella? | 01:26 |
| chrismo16 | unop, yeah i heard that but I am learning linux through vid tutorials and it makes following the lessons easier | 01:27 |
| enmasse | unop: thats what i meant by username | 01:27 |
| Stormx2 | td123, I just copied and pasted off the ubuntu studio website :P | 01:27 |
| enmasse | unop: is that what usr means? | 01:27 |
| logi4023 | all day. all sites external to local network. | 01:27 |
| unop | enmasse, /usr does not translate to your username | 01:27 |
| ubunubi | logi4023: have you tried all the common stuff like rebooting already? | 01:27 |
| unop | enmasse, it is a directory on your system | 01:27 |
| Stormx2 | logi4023: Could be issues at your ISP then, or maybe your router has thrown a wobbly. | 01:27 |
| enmasse | unop: thanks for clearing that up, anyways im in usr/bin | 01:27 |
| anabolix | thanks stormx2 | 01:27 |
| Shujah | cinerrella is geared toward professionals try avidemux pretty handy and many extensive guides online | 01:27 |
| anabolix | btw the best way to remove installed programs is with purge? | 01:27 |
| unop | enmasse, what does this command return? which tor | 01:28 |
| enmasse | unop: let me type that in terminal | 01:28 |
| Stormx2 | anabolix, only if you want to remove configuration too. | 01:28 |
| ubunubi | anabolix:: depends on why you're removing it and if you plan on reinstalling it and what your preferences/settings in tact | 01:28 |
| unop | anabolix, that's not the "best" way, it is one way -- not necessarily good | 01:28 |
| logi4023 | other pcs on the same local network are loading sites ok. | 01:28 |
| enmasse | unop: im in terminal and typed which tor and got nothing | 01:28 |
| Stormx2 | enmasse, have you actually installed tor? | 01:28 |
| unop | enmasse, then type this command out. sudo apt-get install tor | 01:29 |
| ubunubi | logi4023: even the same router? | 01:29 |
| enmasse | Stormx2: according to tork i have | 01:29 |
| coler41 | can anyone tell me how to get my visual effects to work. When I first installed Ubuntu it worked. Now it doesnt seem to work. Is there anywhere I can check my hardware? | 01:29 |
| Shujah | i dont think enmasse installed tor - should tork install it as dependency ? | 01:29 |
| === tshine_afk is now known as tshine | ||
| enmasse | unop: according to tork i have installed it | 01:29 |
| Stormx2 | !tor | enmasse | 01:29 |
| ubottu | enmasse: TOR is a project aiming to provide anonymous connections via specialized !proxies - See https://help.ubuntu.com/community/TOR for information and help - Note that TOR is blocked on most Ubuntu IRC channels, please see !hostmask and !tor-gpg | 01:29 |
| Stormx2 | Just follow the guide. | 01:29 |
| unop | enmasse, but according to which, you have not | 01:29 |
| Mr_Bad_News | is there a way to change the color of the command line when ubuntu boots up | 01:29 |
| Shujah | coler41, go to menu > system > preferences > appearence > visual effetcs | 01:29 |
| Mr_Bad_News | so its not white | 01:29 |
| logi4023 | yes, same router. | 01:29 |
| Stormx2 | unop, it could have installed it in a location outside of his PATH. | 01:29 |
| enmasse | Shujah: thats what i was thinking too but tork says i have installed it | 01:29 |
| enmasse | unop: tork says i have installed tor | 01:29 |
| Stormx2 | which wouldn't pick it up, then. | 01:30 |
| enmasse | unop: in home/ali/.tork/tor | 01:30 |
| unop | Stormx2, it shouldn't really though it's a possibility | 01:30 |
| studebaker__ | when i change resolv.conf it goes back to the default when i restart | 01:30 |
| chrismo16 | unop is ubuntu trying to keep me from adding . to the PATH? | 01:30 |
| unop | enmasse, bahh | 01:30 |
| R0b0t1 | Hmm | 01:30 |
| Stormx2 | unop, I've never heard of "tork". | 01:30 |
| Stormx2 | enmasse, what is tork? | 01:30 |
| enmasse | unop: but WHEN i go there i cant find anything! | 01:30 |
| smadow | hello, can someone please assist me with a specific question? | 01:30 |
| enmasse | GUYS HOW DO I GET RID OF TORK!? | 01:30 |
| unop | enmasse, then use that then /home/ali/.tork/tor | 01:30 |
| Shujah | tork is tor with gui for kde | 01:30 |
| Stormx2 | smadow: Yes. | 01:30 |
| coler41 | i tried that, but the screen turns white. Anyway i can check for hardware conflicts? | 01:30 |
| ubunubi | logi4023: how much of a ping difference from the other machines are we talking? 20%? 200%? 500%? | 01:30 |
| enmasse | unop: i tried that then it says show me the cleint | 01:30 |
| enmasse | unop: but then i cant find a client file?!? | 01:31 |
| R0b0t1 | I'm having problems with my Macintosh keyboard, I can't change the function keys to act like function keys. They adjust the volume and brightness, is there a way I can make them normal? | 01:31 |
| ubunubi | !patience | enmasse | 01:31 |
| ubottu | enmasse: The people here are volunteers, your attitude should reflect that. Answers are not always available. See http://wiki.ubuntu.com/IrcGuidelines | 01:31 |
| Barracuda | Hi guys. I am trying to install package /pkcs11-helper and do a "sudo ./configure" in this package but I get this error "error: OpenSSL enabled but cannot be found". Any one know how to fix this problem??? | 01:31 |
| unop | chrismo16, it probably is, adding . to PATH is quite insecure, you could have an executable file named ls in your current directory that deletes as much as it can, the next time you go to list files in that directory, you've just committed suicide | 01:31 |
| enmasse | sorry ubottu, excuse my ignorance im sorry | 01:32 |
| unop | chrismo16, i suggest not doing this | 01:32 |
| Shujah | TorK is a powerful anonymity manager for the KDE Desktop on Linux and Unix systems. It first helps you to install, configure and use Tor. It then reduces, the task of anonymizing most applications to a single-click | 01:32 |
| ubunubi | R0b0t1: System>Preferences>Keyboard>Layouts>Keyboard Model> then select your Apple Laptop model from the drop down menu | 01:32 |
| smadow | hey all, so I have installed ubuntu within windows (maybe through wubi, if I recall correctly) | 01:32 |
| chrismo16 | unop ok thanks | 01:32 |
| enmasse | okay shujah ill take your advice and do that first, if you can tell me how to get rid of TORK | 01:32 |
| R0b0t1 | Its an iMac, and it has no specific model to select that I can see. | 01:32 |
| smadow | what I would like to do now is to setup my dell as a dual boot | 01:32 |
| Stormx2 | Barracuda: Are you sure pkcs11-helper isn't in the repositories? | 01:32 |
| Shujah | enmasse, open synaptic manager and search for tor, see if its installed or not - TOR not TORK | 01:32 |
| glitsj16 | Barracuda: probably you have only the OpenSSL binary ionstalled, you will need the dev files of that package to build (and ./configure doesn't need sudo on a side-note, only sudo make install) | 01:33 |
| R0b0t1 | Its a chrome/aluminum deal | 01:33 |
| mark1 | anyone know, whats the lightest window manager available in Ubuntu? | 01:33 |
| smadow | and, in this dual boot, I would like to have all my data, etc from windows saved, and all my data from this ubuntu | 01:33 |
| ubunubi | R0b0t1: try the generic "Macintosh" profile and see | 01:33 |
| unop | enmasse, if you install tor the right way, it should install it in /usr/bin/tor or /usr/sbin/tor -- please just do this. sudo apt-get install tor | 01:33 |
| smadow | ideas of how to go about this? | 01:33 |
| unop | enmasse, when that is finished type which tor and you should get the location for it | 01:33 |
| Barracuda | Stormx2: no I cant't find it in the repositories | 01:33 |
| enmasse | unop: will do | 01:33 |
| coler41 | is there a program equvelint to device mananger | 01:33 |
| unop | enmasse, to remove tor. sudo aptitude remove tor | 01:33 |
| enmasse | Shujah: where is the package manager located, currently im using add/remove | 01:34 |
| enmasse | unop: where can i learn these terminal commands because as of right now these seem more efficient | 01:34 |
| unop | Shujah, you can access the package manager in different ways, apt-get is one way | 01:34 |
| Shujah | enmasse, menu > system > administration > synaptic package manager | 01:34 |
| td123 | enmasse: go to system->adminstration->synaptic package manager | 01:34 |
| Stormx2 | smadow, dual booting is pretty easy. install windows first, then install windows. You'll get the option of which OS to start when you first turn on your computer | 01:34 |
| Stormx2 | Barnabas, try installing libssl-dev | 01:34 |
| Shujah | yes apt-get is the same thing | 01:34 |
| Stormx2 | Sorry, Barracuda, try installing libssl-dev | 01:34 |
| smadow | stormx, you said install windows, then install windows, what do you mean? | 01:35 |
| Mr_Bad_News | does anyone know how to change the color of your tty* terminals font? | 01:35 |
| td123 | smadow: install windows, then ubuntu | 01:35 |
| unop | enmasse, http://www.debian.org/doc/FAQ/ch-pkgtools.en.html | 01:35 |
| ubunubi | coler41: sudo lshw ...will give you 99% of the hardware info you need | 01:35 |
| Stormx2 | smadow, sorry, tired. Install windows, then install ubuntu. | 01:35 |
| Barracuda | I will try | 01:35 |
| Stormx2 | !wubi | smadow, you might also want to look into wubi, it'll be a lot easier. | 01:35 |
| ubottu | smadow, you might also want to look into wubi, it'll be a lot easier.: 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. | 01:35 |
| smadow | okay, and will ubuntu keep my ubuntu partition intact?, stormx2 | 01:35 |
| enmasse | unop: thanks | 01:35 |
| enmasse | when using synaptic to remove programs how would i go about removing something like Tork? | 01:36 |
| smadow | stormx2, I am currently using wubi, I am looking to trun this into dual boot | 01:36 |
| logi4023 | pings from other local pcs are 10x faster than those on ubuntu pc. | 01:36 |
| unop | enmasse, search for tork, right click, mark for removal | 01:36 |
| Barracuda | Stormx2: libssl-dev is actually already installed | 01:36 |
| smadow | I want to keep my wubi ubuntu and use it as dual boot | 01:36 |
| Stormx2 | smadow, hold on, I'm a little confused as to your current situation. The machine we're talking about, what operating systems does it have currently? | 01:36 |
| enmasse | thanks | 01:36 |
| Shujah | enmasse, right click (e.g. tor) you get the options reinstall, install, complete removal etc | 01:36 |
| R0b0t1 | Is there an option so that I can use my iMac's keyboard's function keys as normal function keys, instead of them adjusting the volume and other things? I am unable to use program shortcuts that include the F1-12 keys. | 01:36 |
| smadow | Stormx2, it has windows with a wubi ubuntu installed on it | 01:36 |
| Mr_Bad_News | my wireless card keeps shutting off at random times | 01:37 |
| enmasse | thanks | 01:37 |
| unop | enmasse, or use that aptitude command to the same effect | 01:37 |
| Mr_Bad_News | does anyone know how i fix it? | 01:37 |
| Shujah | R0b0t1, pref > key board shortcuts | 01:37 |
| enmasse | im gonna try the apt command also on some programs i dont use like k3b | 01:37 |
| smadow | stormx2, what I want to do is convert the wubi into its own partition, I find that apps often crash and thene can't reopen | 01:37 |
| Mr_Bad_News | i'll be doing something and all the sudden i dont get any signal even though nm-applet says im connected | 01:37 |
| Stormx2 | smadow, I need to go get some sleep. Ask your question again, I'm sure someone can help out. If not, try posting a topic on ubuntuforums.org | 01:37 |
| === RogueShadowTC1 is now known as Adam-S | ||
| smadow | I assume that is a wubi issue, over being ubuntu | 01:37 |
| ubunubi | R0b0t1: sure. download "keytouch" from synaptic repos...you can individually program any key to do just about anything, multimedia related or not | 01:37 |
| smadow | okay, thanks stormx2 | 01:38 |
| Stormx2 | smadow, Yeah, I'd imagine it would be. | 01:38 |
| ubunubi | !keytouch | R0b0t1 | 01:38 |
| ubottu | R0b0t1: Keyboard shortcuts can be set in System -> Preferences -> Keyboard Shortcuts. If your multimedia keys don't work with that, try the 'keytouch' package, explained at http://keytouch.sourceforge.net - See !Keyboard for changing layouts | 01:38 |
| enmasse | i have an ati 9600xt with 128 mb is this suitable for visual effects such as beryl/compiz? | 01:38 |
| Shujah | enmasse, install the compiz-script and run it | 01:38 |
| unop | enmasse, yes | 01:38 |
| Stormx2 | Mr_Bad_News: And you can't access the internet during the period it reports no signal? | 01:38 |
| R0b0t1 | ubunubi: You don't get it, I want to disable the multimedia functions so they act like normal function keys... | 01:38 |
| powertool08 | enmasse: should be, I have same card 256mb and it works fine, also beryl is outdated, use compiz-fusion | 01:38 |
| enmasse | Shujah: what is this compiz script? | 01:39 |
| ubunubi | R0b0t1: i DO get it. that's why i said use keytouch to reprogram ANY key to be ANY key | 01:39 |
| Mr_Bad_News | yea Stormx2 | 01:39 |
| ubunubi | R0b0t1: reading comprehension FTW | 01:39 |
| Shujah | R0b0t1, dude you'll map the multimedia keys to another function | 01:39 |
| enmasse | powertools08 what is this fusion? | 01:39 |
| unop | R0b0t1, i think you want xmodmap then | 01:39 |

| smadow | anybody have any ideas about that previous question? | 01:41 |
| tony_v | compiz takes up a alot | 01:41 |
| smadow | I would be very appreciative :-D | 01:41 |
| Mr_Bad_News | me tony_v ? | 01:41 |
| unop | enmasse, that doesn't mean you can let your guard down and let anything run on your PC -- always run stuff from reliable or trustworthy sources, if not, run it safely and after verification | 01:41 |
| Mr_Bad_News | i dont know the bios | 01:41 |

| powertool08 | Mr_Bad_News: I have also moved the jumper, removed the battery many times and it simply reset bios, no other problems | 01:45 |

| enmasse | Shujah: how do i spin the cube? | 01:46 |
| unop | Mr_Bad_News, it probably is the only way you are going to be able to reset the BIOS password | 01:46 |
| Shujah | enmasse, dude lemme find a good online guide with all the relevent commands | 01:47 |
| powertool08 | enmasse: sudo aptitude update && sudo aptitude install compiz-core-settings-manager (or something similar) then you can easily configure all options of compiz | 01:47 |
| achilles | unop: most forums I try and sign up for just sits and tries to load then pulls up a download for the php file | 01:47 |
| enmasse | powertool08: already got it man :D how do i spin the cUBE?! :D | 01:47 |
| Shujah | enmasse, check this site > http://forlong.blogage.de/ <-cubes are defined | 01:47 |
| powertool08 | enmasse, ctrl+alt+click and drag mouse | 01:47 |
| Atomhunter | I have a problem how do i fix it... I had tried to mount a volume (for my xp files) and it asked for a pass word, so i had it save my wrong username and password and now i can't mount it how do i fix this? | 01:48 |
| lidia_ | pagiiiiiiiiii | 01:48 |
| powertool08 | ctrl+alt+arrow left/right | 01:48 |
| unop | achilles, hmm, strange -- try using another browser to see if the same thing happens - galeon or opera for e.g. | 01:48 |

| Mr_Bad_News | i have one right now that i tried it too and it beeps now when i try to start it up | 01:48 |
| enmasse | yeah | 01:48 |
| Shujah | enmasse, dude tweak the effects you dont need everything | 01:48 |
| Mr_Bad_News | and its the same model so i dont want to do that | 01:49 |
| enmasse | Shujah: lol i kinda enabled everything | 01:49 |
| Atomhunter | I have a problem how do i fix it... I had tried to mount a volume (for my xp files) and it asked for a pass word, so i had it save my wrong username and password and now i can't mount it how do i fix this? HELP!!!! plz | 01:49 |
| powertool08 | Mr_Bad_News: moved the jumper on a dell? yes once or twice, mostly on my asus mobo tho | 01:49 |
| Mr_Bad_News | theres no way i can download something and burn it to a cd to reset it? | 01:49 |
| chrismo16 | is there a video player besides totem that can resize the viseo when you resize the program window? | 01:49 |
| Mr_Bad_News | by jumper what do you mean powertool08 ? | 01:49 |
| jmallin | Has anyone here installed MagicJack on a linux box? | 01:49 |
| Leefmc | Question: Anyone have a comment on if i should not abandon apt-get in favor of aptitude? | 01:49 |
| ubunubi | chrismo16: VLC | 01:49 |
| macrobad | Mr_Bad_News: which model is it? I have never had Dell, just curious.. | 01:49 |
| Atomhunter | why won't anyone help me!! | 01:49 |
| powertool08 | Mr_Bad_News: I have seen live cd's which have bios password crackers on them, no clue how well they work | 01:49 |
| chrismo16 | ubunubi for some reason my mov wont play in vlc | 01:49 |
| unop | Leefmc, apt-get does somethings that aptitude does not | 01:50 |
| ubunubi | Leefmc: i'd abandon both and just use synaptic..but unop will probably chime in and dissagree :P | 01:50 |
| Shujah | enmasse, hey get these two apps two - compiz fusion icon (lets you change compiz to metacity with a single click) and emerald themes | 01:50 |
| Mr_Bad_News | i have two optiplex gx150's | 01:50 |
| Leefmc | ubunubi: That doesn't help me over ssh heh | 01:50 |
| Leefmc | unop: Oh yea? Does aptitude have things apt-get does not? | 01:50 |
| unop | Leefmc, yes | 01:50 |
| Leefmc | unop: Suck heh | 01:50 |
| ubunubi | leefmc: didn't see you specify that as restriction | 01:50 |
| Mr_Bad_News | while im here does anyone know how to change the command line color | 01:50 |
| enmasse | Shujah: need some help, i was in the compiz config and enabled some effects, but in appearance i have none selected... so what do i do? | 01:50 |
| Mr_Bad_News | and when i start my computer it doesnt show it booting up | 01:50 |
| unop | ubunubi, i don't use synaptic, but use both apt-get and aptitude - neither is better overall, each does certain things better than the other | 01:51 |
| Mr_Bad_News | it says bios passed and goes blank until the gdm | 01:51 |
| Leefmc | ubunubi: I didnt, but then again i didnt mention anything about a 3rd option. ;P | 01:51 |
| powertool08 | Mr_Bad_News: its a 3 pin jumper near your cmos battery, unplug power, move jumper one pin left or right depending on configuration, push power button to drain power completely, move jumper back to original pins, plug in and boot | 01:51 |
| Leefmc | ubunubi: So if you wanna get technical, hehe | 01:51 |
| X3 | Evening guys again and sorry to bother.... I have 2 ide hdd on 1 partinion I have xp pro on there and on second partition I have ubuntu (dual boot and works) on the secont hdd I formated it for linux and have also have a partition for the linux swap there..... is this kosher or should then linux swap be on the hdd ubuntu is on???? | 01:51 |
| logi4023 | if entering the ip address of a site loads much faster than entering the domain name, what could be the cause of this problem? | 01:51 |
| Atomhunter | Will some one plz help me!!! | 01:51 |
| Atomhunter | I have a problem how do i fix it... I had tried to mount a volume (for my xp files) and it asked for a pass word, so i had it save my wrong username and password and now i can't mount it how do i fix this? | 01:51 |
| Shujah | enmasse, press ctrl+win key + left mousebutton | 01:51 |
| ubunubi | unop: i saw your schpeel on your apt vs aptitude speech the other night, hence my comment | 01:51 |
| R0b0t1 | Ok, would saying my multimedia keys also have the labels F1 to F12 on them change anything? For example, when in OSX, I have the option to "Disable function keys as multimedia buttons". I wish to do something like that.... | 01:51 |
| enmasse | Shujah: where and i tried pressing that | 01:52 |
| Shujah | *press ctrl+win key only | 01:52 |
| macrobad | logi4023: big dns server's latency | 01:52 |

| Guest39365 | could someone help me? i have my xbox360 controller plugged in its being recognized but it doesnt do nothing when i press the buttons. i tried to configure in zsnes and joystick calibration but when i press it doesnt work..my controller works fine it works on my xbox and it worked before i reinstalled ubuntu any help? | 01:52 |
| Mr_Bad_News | i just see the battery | 01:52 |
| Shujah | anywhere are the water effects turned on? | 01:52 |
| unop | ubunubi, but you didn't see all of it, if you still want to know why aptitude resolves dependencies better than apt-get does, i can explain | 01:52 |
| ubunubi | R0b0t1: what you said makes no sense. repeating it won't get you any extra help | 01:52 |
| enmasse | Shujah: how do i even know if any effects are turned on? | 01:52 |
| isorbuttsor | Atomhunter, unmount it | 01:52 |
| Atomhunter | it won't unmount | 01:52 |
| ubunubi | unop: no thanks i'm pretty sure i caught the whole thing :P unless you took it private | 01:53 |
| macrobad | Shujah: I believe, in compizconfig-settings-manager | 01:53 |
| isorbuttsor | Atomhunter, reboot | 01:53 |
| Atomhunter | i can't even mount it.......i i have rebooted | 01:53 |
| Shujah | enmasse, from terminal give command compiz-tray-icon | 01:53 |
| powertool08 | Mr_Bad_News: hmm, I'm pretty sure all mobo's have that jumper, i'd check the mobo for manufacturer/model/rev info and try to find a manual online | 01:53 |
| Guest39365 | oh and ubuntu recognizes the controller..i type lsusb and i see it and joystick calibrator see it too its just that when i press the buttons no input/output anyideas? do i have to install something for it to work? | 01:53 |
| Shujah | enmasse, then press Ctrl+Win key | 01:53 |
| Mr_Bad_News | the battery is the little flat lithium one yes powertool08 ? | 01:53 |
| unop | ubunubi, we didn't take it private, i just didn't feel like going through with it | 01:54 |
| powertool08 | Mr_Bad_News: yes | 01:54 |
| cokencode | untu | 01:54 |
| chrismo16 | ubunubi: any other prog u suggest? or do u know of a way to get my mov working? | 01:54 |
| Mr_Bad_News | theres no jumpers next to it | 01:54 |
| enmasse | Shujah: ali@EnMasse:~$ compiz-tray-icon | 01:54 |
| enmasse | The program 'compiz-tray-icon' is currently not installed. You can install it by typing: | 01:54 |
| enmasse | sudo apt-get install gnome-compiz-manager | 01:54 |
| enmasse | bash: compiz-tray-icon: command not found | 01:54 |
| enmasse | ali@EnMasse:~$ sudo apt-get install gnome-compiz-manager | 01:54 |
| enmasse | [sudo] password for ali: | 01:54 |
| FloodBot3 | enmasse: Please don't flood, use http://paste.ubuntu.com to paste, don't use Enter as punctuation. | 01:54 |
| enmasse | Reading package lists... Done | 01:54 |
| cokencode | hey guys, i want to watch youtube videos and i'm running xubuntu. | 01:54 |
| unop | enmasse, no, don't ever paste in here | 01:54 |
| ubunubi | chrismo16:: i'd try to fix your video issues instead of just move to another player, if i was you | 01:54 |
| b4m5usi | alowww | 01:54 |
| cokencode | is there an apt-get i can run | 01:54 |
| cokencode | to install flash ? | 01:54 |
| Shujah | install compiz-fusion-icon | 01:54 |
| enmasse | omg soooo sorry | 01:54 |
| cokencode | I really hate adobe | 01:54 |
| Leefmc | # is comment in bash, right? | 01:54 |
| enmasse | :( | 01:54 |
| b4m5usi | hay leh gbung g nich | 01:54 |
| unop | cokencode, sudo aptitude install flashplugin-nonfree | 01:54 |
| Atomhunter | isorbuttsor: i had tried mounting it and had told it to remember the password and username, and it gave me an error and i couldn't change the password or username and now can't mount it | 01:54 |
| enmasse | Shujah: anyways says i need to install gnome compiz manager | 01:55 |
| powertool08 | Leefmc: yes | 01:55 |
| cokencode | unop: that's not working for some odd reason | 01:55 |
| Ahadiel | enmasse, It's called "fusion-icon" btw | 01:55 |
| enmasse | okay | 01:55 |
| unop | cokencode, why not? | 01:55 |
| ubunubi | unop:: i dont mind learning. but personally i only use synaptic..._just_ so my install/unintsall history gets kept in 1 file. i do lots of rollbacks and need a paper trail of installs to sync my test VMs to | 01:55 |
| Shujah | dude install it and install compiz-fusion-icon and emerald manager from synaptic | 01:55 |
| neothecat | is there a way i can setup GDM so when one user logins in, it starts gnome, but when another logs in, it starts kde? | 01:55 |
| R0b0t1 | Is there a way I can disable the multimedia functions of my Apple keyboard? I wish to use the function (F) keys for program shortcuts. | 01:55 |
| Guest39365 | is anyone having problems with there joypad not working or is it just me? | 01:55 |
| Mr_Bad_News | powertool08, i dont know if its a boot password or a bios | 01:55 |
| cokencode | oh wait | 01:55 |
| Mr_Bad_News | is there a difference | 01:55 |
| cokencode | yes it is, sorry | 01:55 |
| unop | ubunubi, apt-get and aptitude use dpkg to actually install packages, a log file exists in /var/log/dpkg.log | 01:55 |
| cokencode | i made a typo the first time apparently | 01:55 |
| Mr_Bad_News | i dont get anything but a password prompt when i start up | 01:56 |
| ubunubi | R0b0t1: i bet if you installed that app and built a custom keyboard layout. it would work find | 01:56 |
| dr_Willis | neothecat, gdm rembers the last saved 'selection' from the sessions menu. so each user can have their own default. | 01:56 |
| ubunubi | unop:: yes but synaptic keeps a history log sorted by date and session that's searchable (easily) | 01:56 |
| macrobad | Shujah: I cannot find compiz-fusion-icon there. However, it suggests me to install gnome-compiz-manager | 01:56 |
| powertool08 | Mr_Bad_News: both are controlled by bios, you can set it to only prompt when you try to change bios settings, or at every boot | 01:56 |
| Shujah | ok install it | 01:56 |
| ubunubi | unop:: and create a download script based on that log, to sync my other machines to | 01:56 |
| enmasse | apparently i have compiz gnome installed but it wants to be gey... | 01:56 |
| dr_Willis | neothecat, have user #2 select kde from the sessions, it will ask to save it as default.. | 01:56 |
| ubunubi | unop: i'm sure it can be done with the others. but it's easiest (for me) that way | 01:56 |
| unop | ubuntulog, so does the dpkg.log -- maybe not as searchable, but if you are adept with grep or perl, it's no pain | 01:56 |
| cokencode | hmmm, it installed but it's still not playing | 01:56 |
| R0b0t1 | But I shouldn't need to! Theres obviously something that decided they could be used as such, I wish to disable it. | 01:56 |
| cokencode | unop: installed, but flash vids not playing in firefox ... any suggestions ? | 01:57 |
| unop | ubunubi, apt-get --print-uris :) can assist creating download scripts | 01:57 |
| burner | use flash 10! | 01:57 |
| unop | cokencode, navigate to about:plugins to see if flash is loaded | 01:57 |
| macrobad | Shujah: Well, I'm not that curious after all! :) | 01:57 |
| neothecat | dr_Willis: ok, it looked like whatever session was used last is always used regardless of who logs in, but i will double check. thanks! | 01:57 |
| shade1 | how do I figure out what version of openssh is on my ubuntu server? It's ubuntu v. 8.04.1 | 01:57 |
| Shujah | macrobad, lols | 01:57 |
| burner | shade1: ssh -version | 01:58 |
| dr_Willis | neothecat, it shouldent be. it reads the .dmrc file I think, in each users home dir when they login. to decide on their default sessiion | 01:58 |
| shade1 | burner: thanks | 01:58 |
| Atomhunter | HELP!!! I had tried to mount my XP volume and used the wrong user and password, and told it to save it and now i can't mount it!!!! HELP!! | 01:58 |
| ubunubi | shade1: open synaptic, search for openssh..and look at the installed version label | 01:58 |
| isorbuttsor | Atomhunter, if you typed wrong password that password would not get saved | 01:58 |
| macrobad | shade1: greetings! | 01:59 |
| Shujah | I think he forgot the password | 01:59 |
| burner | Atomhunter: xp volume meaning an ntfs or a network filesystem? | 01:59 |
| Atomhunter | well then i got a weird error then!.............ntfs | 01:59 |
| shade1 | macrobad: hello! | 01:59 |
| burner | Atomhunter: you don't need a user/pass to mount ntfs | 01:59 |
| shade1 | macrobad: you seem to hang around here a lot ;) | 01:59 |
| enmasse | Shujah: hey | 01:59 |
| burner | !ntfs | Atomhunter | 01:59 |
| ubottu | Atomhunter: To view your Windows/Mac partitions see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/AutomaticallyMountPartitions - For NTFS write access, see /msg ubottu NTFS-3g or /msg ubottu FUSE | 01:59 |
| mike1 | /list | 01:59 |
| R0b0t1 | ubunubi: Fine, what was that programs name? | 01:59 |
| Shujah | ? yeah | 01:59 |
| zachb | My friend just upgraded firefox, and now it doesn't work: tips? | 01:59 |
| enmasse | Shujah: im in compiz config right now and looking at the settings of the effects | 01:59 |
| isorbuttsor | Atomhunter, did you restart the computer either shutdown or restar | 02:00 |
| dr_Willis | burner, unless it was the root/sudo password it was wanting? to mount the share.. - Im confused as to why it wanted a password for him also. | 02:00 |
| enmasse | Shujah: what does control super mean? | 02:00 |
| Shujah | go to effects - water effects tick it | 02:00 |
| ubunubi | R0b0t1: keytouch & keytouch editor | 02:00 |
| Atomhunter | isorbuttsor: yep | 02:00 |
| enmasse | i did that | 02:00 |
| macrobad | shade1: Well, actually I've come for the first time today, but noone seems to know the answer to my question, even google... | 02:00 |
| dr_Willis | enmasse, super key = windows key.. so 'ctrl-windowskey' | 02:00 |
| enmasse | okay | 02:00 |
| shade1 | macrobad: what is it? | 02:00 |
| macrobad | Does anybody happen to know what LOWER_UP network interface state means precisely? You can observe it with 'ip link show' command for example. | 02:00 |
| shade1 | macrobad: why do you ask? | 02:01 |
| enmasse | dr_Willis: to enable compiz effects like water effect do i have to go to system appearance and enable anything from there? or can i just do it all form compizconfig? | 02:01 |
| Shujah | enmasse, then press ctrl+win key just to check if compiz is running | 02:01 |
| isorbuttsor | Atomhunter, then you should be able to mount it how are you trying to mount it command line or through nautilus | 02:01 |
| Atomhunter | through the file viewer..... | 02:01 |
| tony_v | mods, heads up. Smadow is going to try to do a dual boot (I told him to use gparted and a fresh ubuntu install to preserve his wubi install) If he's back he didn't understand how to set which partition to be root. Just a heads up so y'all know what's up | 02:01 |
| enmasse | Shujah: i press it but nothing is happening... | 02:01 |
| ubunubi | R0b0t1: you could also try this: http://ubuntuforums.org/archive/index.php/t-106209.html but it seems more complicated to me | 02:01 |
| Shujah | enmasse, so compiz is not running | 02:01 |
| enmasse | Shujah: how do i get it running? | 02:01 |
| dr_Willis | enmasse, the main thing i do with compiz.. is turn it off. | 02:02 |
| Curtis | does anyone know how to update your version of firefox? | 02:02 |
| isorbuttsor | Atomhunter, try mounting it in terminal | 02:02 |
| Shujah | install gnome-compiz-manager :P | 02:02 |
| R0b0t1 | ubunubi: Well, I'm thinking, something that is already on my computer decided that they could be used as such. Something must be able to disable it. | 02:02 |
| dr_Willis | enmasse, you enable the effect. then use the hotkey to activate those effects | 02:02 |
| enmasse | hmm but my compiz is not running willis | 02:02 |
| macrobad | shade1: I was wondering, 'coz I had to troubleshoot my wireless today, and got confused with this flag arbitratly appearing and disappearing. Well, if nobody knows, I'd ask tomorrow. | 02:02 |
| Atomhunter | i got it to work with the link buner gave me | 02:02 |
| enmasse | well | 02:03 |
| enmasse | its running now | 02:03 |
| ubunubi | R0b0t1: you can try to tell keyboard layout to use the Generic 102 profile and see if that converts them. if not you'll still have to manually map them through one of the two solutions I've already provided | 02:03 |
| burner | awesome | 02:03 |
| Atomhunter | burner:thanks | 02:03 |
| burner | np | 02:03 |
| Atomhunter | isorbuttsor: thanks | 02:03 |
| shade1 | macrobad: when we were trying to troubleshoot mine the other day, I read something about it being useful to tell whether or not the cable was plugged in, but I'm not really sure what that means | 02:03 |
| Shujah | yeah so the effects are working? | 02:03 |
| enmasse | yeah | 02:04 |
| enmasse | lol rain effect IS AWESOME :D! | 02:04 |
| Shujah | now install emerald theme manager for additional eyecandy | 02:04 |
| Curtis | does anyone have the rtl8187b wireless card? | 02:04 |
| enmasse | Shujah: whats that? | 02:04 |
| ubunubi | !wireless | curtis | 02:04 |
| ubottu | curtis: Wireless documentation can be found at https://help.ubuntu.com/community/WifiDocs | 02:04 |
| unop | macrobad, my inital thought was it had to do with a lower layer property, LOWER_UP meaning the physical layer was up, LOWER_DOWN meaning physical layer down, cable unplugged, signal dropped, etc -- this url does indicate the same.. http://busybox.net/lists/busybox/2008-June/031749.html | 02:04 |
| ubunubi | !realtek > curtis | 02:04 |

| unop | macrobad, what you were seeing yesterday was probably because of an intermittent wireless signal | 02:05 |
| dr_Willis | aesfubar, using a rpm converted to deb.. was a wrong thing to do... | 02:05 |
| ubunubi | aesfubar: what you're doing wrong is everything. trying to install flash from a converted RPM is a great/fast way to trash your system from every playing flash | 02:05 |
| ubunubi | ever* | 02:06 |
| aesfubar | how do i fix it? | 02:06 |
| cokencode | what do i need to apt-get install to watch wmv videos ? | 02:06 |
| ubunubi | cokencode: w32codes from the mediabuntu repo | 02:06 |
| dr_Willis | Flash is in the 'ubuntu-restricted-extras' package - and in the package manager under.. somthing with 'flash' in the name. :) | 02:06 |
| dr_Willis | !find flash | 02:06 |
| ubunubi | cokencode: w32codecs * | 02:06 |
| achilles | unop: opera works fine, just firefox and galeon didn't work they both try and dl php | 02:06 |
| ubottu | Found: flashblock, flashrom, flashybrid, libflash-dev, libflash-mozplugin (and 8 others) | 02:06 |
| vbcoderx | sup guys | 02:06 |
| enmasse | guys if i enable the fire effect of compiz and the water effect, and then set fire to stuff and then splash it with water, will the fires be extinguised? | 02:07 |
| powertool08 | lol | 02:07 |
| enmasse | what | 02:07 |
| vbcoderx | lol | 02:07 |
| Leefmc | Question: Is there a way to search the terminal? Im trying to search a manual for a specific argument, but i can't find it heh | 02:07 |
| enmasse | that was a serious question | 02:07 |
| td123 | enmasse: uhhh, whatever | 02:07 |
| Leefmc | Search as in, CtrlF like | 02:07 |
| enmasse | and im trying to solve it right now :) | 02:07 |
| dr_Willis | enmasse, the pc will just explode. | 02:07 |
| isorbuttsor | enmasse, it will just burn your computer to ashes | 02:07 |
| vbcoderx | lol just do sudo gedit pathhere | 02:08 |
| vbcoderx | then u can ctrl f | 02:08 |
| === shade1 is now known as shader42 | ||
| vbcoderx | if its a manual | 02:08 |
| vbcoderx | then u can open it with gedi | 02:08 |
| vbcoderx | t | 02:08 |
| unop | Leefmc, what manual, you mean man page? | 02:08 |
| enmasse | i thought it would explode from the steam >.< | 02:08 |
| macrobad | unop: hmm... Actually, UP reports administrative state (i.e. enforced by your commands), and NO-CARRIER report operational state (e.g. you brought the interface up, but the signal was lost, or you couldn't get authenticated). It seems, that LOWER_UP doubles this functionality, doesn't it? | 02:08 |
| Fungusman | how do I make my user root | 02:08 |
| Leefmc | unop: Yea | 02:08 |
| Fungusman | This is my laptop | 02:08 |
| dr_Willis | !sudo | Fungusman | 02:08 |
| ubottu | Fungusman: 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) | 02:08 |
| Fungusman | And I can;t use apache cause Im not a ROOT user | 02:08 |
| vbcoderx | you can run as root using sudo | 02:08 |
| Leefmc | unop: But thats sort of irrelevant, i just need a way to search the terminal | 02:08 |
| unop | Leefmc, press / then the text you want to search for | 02:08 |
| Fungusman | I want to be root all the time | 02:09 |
| ubunubi | Fungusman: that's a bad idea :P | 02:09 |
| monostone | Im trying to convert a bin/cue raw image into an iso via bchunk, but although I set MODE2/2352 i still get an 'incorrect fs' error when trying to mount -t iso9660. Any ideas on how to proceed? | 02:09 |
| spork969 | SNuxoll: K&R? | 02:09 |
| IndyGunFreak | Fungusman: you need to learn linux better, thats a horrible idea | 02:09 |
| vbcoderx | sudo su will do it for your entire terminal session | 02:09 |
| macrobad | Actually, my original idea was about power saving mode, but I have LOWER_UP on my loopback interface... :) | 02:09 |
| vbcoderx | or you can set the root password, and login with it | 02:09 |
| Leefmc | unop: Eh? -bash: /deb: No such file or directory | 02:09 |
| Fungusman | if I have a browser window already open, is there a hot key or something that I can sudo it | 02:09 |
| vbcoderx | it comes disabled usually | 02:09 |
| Fungusman | Why is it a bad idea? | 02:09 |
| Fungusman | Security ? | 02:09 |
| Pseudo | Hello all, i'm new to Ubuntu | 02:09 |
| unop | Leefmc, you need a better terminal then :) | 02:09 |
| dr_Willis | Fungusman, no, and there should be no need to run the browser as root. | 02:10 |
| Leefmc | unop: haha | 02:10 |
| Leefmc | unop: Im using the default ubuntu one, does it suck that bad? | 02:10 |
| Leefmc | unop: Why are they using a faulty terminal heh.. | 02:10 |
| Fungusman | so I should use bash to copy my files into this rooted folder ? | 02:10 |
| macrobad | At this point I feel tempted to "use the source", although it's not what I should be doing at this time.. | 02:10 |
| unop | macrobad, as i said earlier, i am not really sure what it means, my first impression was that - but i am far from sure | 02:10 |
| ubunubi | Fungusman: preferably, yes | 02:10 |
| dr_Willis | Fungusman, thats very good practice.. to use sudo to do system type tasks. | 02:10 |

| shader42 | macrobad: unop, I think the same thing. It makes sense, and the websites I've seen (it was probably the same one) corroborate that. | 02:11 |

| dr_Willis | Fungusman, with a sudo at the start.. if its to a system type place. | 02:11 |

| isorbuttsor | kc dunno what fl studio is | 02:16 |
| kcaj | Ah, is ardour available through synaptics? | 02:16 |
| unop | macrobad, http://lxr.linux.no/linux/include/linux/if.h#L50 says this. #define IFF_LOWER_UP 0x10000 /* driver signals L1 up */ | 02:16 |
| unop | :) | 02:16 |
| enmasse | kc i think your best bet is to just dual boot because ardour is like sonar 6/7 | 02:16 |
| unop | macrobad, which is what i had assumed, physical layer connectivity | 02:16 |
| enmasse | and sonar 6/7 is NOTHING like fl studio | 02:16 |
| kcaj | Hmm, I see. | 02:16 |
| monostone | as well, which is the command that prints the file type? | 02:16 |
| enmasse | im partial to reason 4 :D | 02:16 |
| Storrgi1 | is anyone running multiple monitors on an nvidia card? i have some questions regarding your setup | 02:16 |

| kcaj | Yeah cuz FL Studio is just... really I mean, that is what I grew up with, I have so many VSTi and DXi, etc. and DVDs and CDs full of sounmds | 02:17 |
| isorbuttsor | kcaj, rosegarden does audio and midi, muse does audio and midi | 02:17 |
| enmasse | kcaj: what kind of music you produce? | 02:17 |
| monostone | unop: thanks | 02:17 |
| kcaj | it is the most familiar environment to me | 02:17 |

| kcaj | I mostly make rap and hip-hop, although I've been known to tear up some turntables ;) can do trance, IDM, dance, etc. etc. as well | 02:17 |
| enmasse | kcaj: i do dub/downtempo/progressive metal/rock | 02:17 |

| isorbuttsor | kcakc hydrogen is a crossplatform drum machine | 02:19 |
| enmasse | yeah thats why i kind of stopped music production because rap/hip hop is SOOOO comercialized and boring | 02:19 |
| Mecha25 | I need some generic not-how-to, but-whether-to partitioning advice | 02:19 |
| enmasse | unless you're talking about underground or classic | 02:19 |
| kcaj | See, that is the same reason I do the rap/hip-hop, to fight that stereo type and help propel it | 02:19 |
| Mecha25 | specifically, is there any reason I need to keep an NTFS partition, other than to run Windows? | 02:20 |
| enmasse | but thats why i switched over to rock/metal/progressive | 02:20 |
| unop | guys take the music chat stuff to #ubuntu-offtopic please | 02:20 |
| enmasse | sorry lol | 02:20 |
| kcaj | See, yeah I mix it a lot with classical stuff, 60s, 70s, and 80s rock music, all kinds of things, I'm a polygamist when it comes to my marriage to music. | 02:20 |
| macrobad | shader42: Well, I've fixed them! Although, it was not that easy to understand why I needed to restart networking and NetworkManager when switching between manual mode and roaming mode. Anyway, now I can go to bed without any troubles in my mind! ^^ | 02:20 |

| Atomhunter | Mecha25: ugh! hows that vista working for you? | 02:23 |
| Mecha25 | it's getting annoying though, I keep having to resize the partitions when I get more ubuntu apps or more media files. Vista is amazing, once you tweak it. The default settings are a pile of bull !@#$ on a stick, once you fix that it's great. | 02:23 |
| Mr_Bad_News | i took it out Atomhunter and im still getting a password prompt | 02:23 |
| powertool08 | Mecha25: you can also download stuff so windows can see into your linux partition | 02:23 |
| burner | Mecha25: lies | 02:23 |
| Mr_Bad_News | how long do i leave it out? | 02:24 |
| Mecha25 | powertool: yeah, but it only works with ext2, I have ext3 | 02:24 |

| unop | Mr_Bad_News, you would need to consult your motherboard's manual for location on these jumpers -- each motherboard varies in terms of layout and schematics | 02:29 |
| shader42 | *guys* | 02:29 |
| Mr_Bad_News | i dont have one unop | 02:30 |
| macrobad | unop: I've made a couple of local copies so far, because occasionally I have to spend a month or two in a "village" without proper internet access. | 02:30 |
| td123 | k20a: what do you mean it shows an older version, have you installed a newer version but it selects the older one or what | 02:30 |
| isorbuttsor | k20a, edit the /boot/grub/menu.lst file | 02:30 |
| unop | shader42, not so much, every now and then i have to apply a patch or so - but that's about it, i don't code in C very well | 02:30 |

| Mr_Bad_News | theres just two pins | 02:30 |
| Mr_Bad_News | what do i do powertool08 | 02:30 |
| td123 | isorbuttsor: I think he wants to install a newer version of the kernel | 02:30 |
| Mr_Bad_News | it was hiding under a power cord near the fan | 02:30 |
| powertool08 | Mr_Bad_News: 2 pins with a 2 pin jumper on it? | 02:30 |
| unop | Mr_Bad_News, those two pins could be anything :) please consult the manual to be sure what to do | 02:31 |
| k20a | isorbuttsor i don't want to because i have both 32 bit and 64 bit installed...i just want to update the kernal of my 64bit | 02:31 |

| macrobad | shader42: Not really, since I don't code in C, and just studying linux so far. Perhaps, in winter... | 02:31 |
| Mr_Bad_News | one pin | 02:31 |
| unop | Mr_Bad_News, you should be able to get the manual on the vendor's website | 02:31 |

| powertool08 | Mr_Bad_News: it will have a label on the mobo next to it, probably CMOS or something, it can be hard to read tho | 02:32 |
| Mr_Bad_News | hell yes | 02:32 |
| Mr_Bad_News | got it | 02:32 |
| Mr_Bad_News | thanks powertool08 | 02:32 |
| unop | Mr_Bad_News, well, again, that could be seen as quite ambiguous - pswd doesn't necessarily mean the BIOS password eh? | 02:32 |
| powertool08 | np | 02:32 |
| Mr_Bad_News | do i put the plastic cover back on | 02:32 |
| Mr_Bad_News | or will that enable the password again | 02:32 |
| powertool08 | yes, put the jumper back on | 02:33 |
| Otaru | boot with it off, and then turn off and put back on | 02:33 |
| Otaru | that will re-enable the feature but not set a password | 02:33 |
| k20a | what do i type in terminal to update my kernal | 02:33 |
| unop | k20a, sudo aptitude install linux-image # probably | 02:34 |

| aeshan | powertool08, how do i re-install ubuntu to repair the problem? | 02:40 |
| powertool08 | aeshan: what is the problem, you might not have to re-install | 02:40 |
| unop | neil_d, yes or was it 5903 for the 4th session .. can't remember exactly | 02:40 |
| unop | neil_d, actually, you might not see anything with netstat as you have inetd running vnc .. but you probably would see an open port if you used a port scanner | 02:41 |

| patrickwang | .. | 02:41 |
| unop | jamus, yes, you need to edit the /etc/fstab file if the partition is a fixed partition | 02:41 |

| neil_d | unop: I did, but I wanted to check the port, so I used a simpler program. | 02:42 |

| espinha | somebody use the mouse A4tech x-755 fs on ubuntu? plz | 02:43 |
| unop | neil_d, i understand the reasoning for using telnet .. but in my experience with inetd, telnet is not always reliable | 02:43 |
| powertool08 | aeshan: and I would run 2 of the 3 varying one at a time to see which one is causing the crash if the logs don't tell you | 02:43 |

| Shujah | Dewente3, if you are new to Linux that would be a bit complicated. but if you can understand the commands by all means use it | 03:15 |
| tech0007 | KnomeDE: see 'man usermod' | 03:15 |

| Shujah | enmasse, dude download emerald theme manager and change the theme | 03:16 |
| leftStanding | erm.. ok, but these packages aren't specific to either | 03:16 |
| enmasse | okay | 03:16 |
| ubunubi | can anyone tell me why the aliases i have in my ~/.bash_alias aren't in effect when i open a new terminal? | 03:16 |
| [Iggy] | jdsbluedevl, then you can uninstall compiz with aptitude | 03:16 |
| ubunubi | er, ~/.bash_aliases | 03:17 |
| rockenrola | ubunubi: you have to logout and log back in | 03:17 |
| conrad2k | tech007: It seems to have the silconmotion driver package | 03:17 |
| jdsbluedevl | [Iggy]: I guess I can. I want to see what I can do before doing that first, obviously | 03:17 |
| ubunubi | rockenrola: k will try that, thanks | 03:17 |
| Bob_Sagot | well, that didnt help | 03:17 |

| unop | tennispolska, explain what you are trying to do | 03:25 |
| rockenrola | plenty of good tutorials out there. for me I believe it is best to have a goal. decide what program you would like to build and hands on it | 03:25 |
| * mneptok prefers to fly blind and shoot randomly | 03:25 | |

| SkinnYPup | For Hardy | 03:26 |
| mneptok | tennispolska: your card is not supported by the MadWiFi drivers distributed through the package system? | 03:26 |
| conrad2k | tech007: done! what next? | 03:26 |
| tech0007 | conrad2k: ctrl-O then [enter] to save.....ctrl-X to exit | 03:26 |
| tennispolska | it is, its an atheros 50007 | 03:26 |
| mneptok | tennispolska: Ubuntu should offer to install those drivers for you. | 03:26 |
| conrad2k | tech007: its saved | 03:26 |
| tech0007 | conrad2k: logout of X, then ctrl-alt-F1 to console, then sudo /etc/init.d/gdm restart | 03:27 |

| [Iggy] | bibstha: DISPLAY=:0 glxinfo | grep render | 03:29 |
| trashguy | Anyone ever have like dns just stop working and network run slow? | 03:29 |
| unop | FLeiXiuS, xorg is trying to move away from a static configuration and try and configure things automagically when needed -- so a lot of the options have been left out when you try and configure it as there is little need (or that's the idea atleast) | 03:30 |
| Shujah | enmasse, dude i'm from Pakistan so the lineage would be south east indian I think :D | 03:30 |
| trashguy | this is insane | 03:30 |
| enmasse | Shujah: im also from paksitan lol | 03:30 |
| enmasse | Shujah: pakistan | 03:30 |

| flush | whats a good silent fan for pc's | 03:30 |
| bibstha | Mesa DRI Intel(R) 965GM 4.1.3002 x86/MMX/SSE2 | 03:30 |

| [Iggy] | bibistha, what video card do you have? | 03:32 |
| tech0007 | bibstha: did u see if rendering is 'yes' when u ran glxinfo? | 03:32 |
| Shujah | enmasse, you can always uninstall compiz if you want to - its better to change it via compiz-fusion-icon | 03:32 |
| FLeiXiuS | unop any alternatives? | 03:32 |
| unop | FLeiXiuS, unfortunately, there is no solution -- as i said, that wizard tries to build the xorg.conf file which is no longer used -- and since xorg is trying to move away from it, there is no need to build a config file | 03:32 |
| judgepg | hi folks, can someone help me out with smb sharing? I've got folders that I've never shared (and you can't click through them). Any thoughts? | 03:32 |
| bibstha | tech0007: yaa | 03:32 |
| Nichevo | Hi all, could someone please tell me what the equivalent to ctrl-alt-delete is in Ubuntu :) | 03:32 |
| unop | FLeiXiuS, the only alternative is to edit the xorg.conf by hand - as far as i know | 03:33 |
| Shujah | atrl+alt+backspace | 03:33 |
| j_baker | gremory: Is there a command-line way to do that that that I could try out? | 03:33 |
| gremory | that's it then :P you showld try usind network manager. there is a option named VPN connections. | 03:33 |
| judgepg | Nichevo, You can kill the process in the process window | 03:33 |
| tech0007 | bibstha: whats the issue | 03:33 |
| Nichevo | thanks :) | 03:33 |
| unop | Nichevo, Shujah, heh, no | 03:33 |
| FLeiXiuS | unop wonderful..be back in a few then lol | 03:33 |
| judgepg | Nichevo, You can kill the process in the system monitor* | 03:33 |
| hepee | ctrl+alt+bkspce restarts cocmputer, system monitor is the equiliv | 03:33 |
| unop | Shujah, please be careful with the advice you give people | 03:33 |
| Shujah | unop - it'll logout | 03:33 |
| hepee | you may have to bind it to a shoutcut | 03:33 |
| gremory | you have an icon of the network manager in your tray bar | 03:33 |
| DIL | judgepg: you cant click through them ? | 03:33 |
| Nichevo | I had a windowed game crash on me | 03:34 |
| rockenrola | How can I run a script automatically after resuming from hibernation? | 03:34 |
| unop | Shujah, he might be wanting to open up the task-manager or equivalent | 03:34 |
| judgepg | DIL, thanks for getting back. No, they are showing, and I do have shared folders which work through, but I also have zombie folders | 03:34 |
| bibstha | tech0007: well kubuntu displayed it as vesa, i think its the intel driver thanks :) but im getting very log fps in glxgears so just worried | 03:34 |
| Nichevo | hard booted since | 03:34 |
| Nichevo | I couldn't get to anything | 03:34 |
| judgepg | DIL, Do you know if they're symlinks? | 03:34 |
| vbcoderx | hmm acn someone help me install ubuntu-desktop on ubuntu server from an ubuntu desktop cd? | 03:34 |
| DIL | nah | 03:34 |
| FLeiXiuS | vbcoderx sudo apt-get install ubuntu-desktop | 03:34 |
| Nichevo | Thanks all :) :) | 03:34 |
| vbcoderx | i did that | 03:34 |
| vbcoderx | i set the sources to only the cd rom | 03:35 |
| vbcoderx | but it can't find it | 03:35 |
| unop | vbcoderx, you will need the alternative CD for that | 03:35 |
| FLeiXiuS | did you update first? | 03:35 |
| vbcoderx | damn >.< | 03:35 |
| unop | vbcoderx, or use the online repositories | 03:35 |
| vbcoderx | yes | 03:35 |
| j_baker | gremory: Yup, but it has a checkmark for enable networking, view wireless networks and about. (and it takes forever for that menu to come up) | 03:35 |
| judgepg | DIL, wonder from where the shortcuts came from if they're not defined in smb.conf | 03:35 |
| trashguy | rockenrola, my other ocmputers work fine booted it up | 03:35 |
| vbcoderx | i did sudo nano /etc/apt/sources.list | 03:35 |
| vbcoderx | then edit | 03:35 |
| vbcoderx | ed | 03:35 |
| vbcoderx | then sudo apt-get update | 03:35 |
| vbcoderx | then sudo apt-get install ubuntu-desktop.. | 03:35 |
| unop | vbcoderx, you can't use the normal desktop CD as a repository -- well you can, but it won't provide all you need | 03:36 |
| vbcoderx | i guess i'll just download teh alt cd | 03:36 |
| Blaqlight | vbcoderx, I would think ad the cd's tour sources, then sudo aptitude install ubuntu-desktop | 03:36 |
| gremory | j_baker: are you cliking there with left mouse button or right mouse button? | 03:36 |
| Shujah | yeah he might wanna go to task manager sorry | 03:36 |
| vbcoderx | tour sources? | 03:36 |
| unop | vbcoderx, if you are going to download the alternate CD just for this, you might as well enable the repositories and install from them | 03:36 |
| vbcoderx | lol.. i have alraedy renabled them | 03:36 |
| nike | whats up | 03:36 |
| j_baker | RIght. When I left click nothing happens | 03:36 |

| vbcoderx | well shit.. i already started from repositores lemme open a new ssh window | 03:38 |
| trashguy | whats the command to restart network | 03:38 |
| ubunubi | bogey-: none of that addresses my issue | 03:38 |
| garrett__ | anyone know if it's possible to use rhythmbox to play mp3s without importing them? like.. just file -> opendir or something? | 03:38 |
| j_baker | Yup. Nothing happens. | 03:38 |
| icogens | So, I killed pulse-audio just a minute ago, only to see a sudden and drastic spike in memory and cpu usage from pidgin, which i killed as it's memory use shot up past 300 MiB. Has anyone else witnessed this behavior? | 03:38 |
| unop | ubunubi, ~/.bash_aliases is a non-standard file .. it has to be sourced from within ~/.bashrc if you want to use it | 03:38 |
| garrett__ | i don't want to have to import everything | 03:38 |
| [Iggy] | keith-, I don't believe the installer downloads anything other than a set "image" of the Ubuntu installation disk | 03:38 |
| gremory | that is wierd... | 03:38 |
| ubunubi | unop: i have it sourced already | 03:38 |
| ubunubi | unop: it's still simply ignoring it | 03:38 |
| unop | ubunubi, sourced from where tho? | 03:38 |
| robertj_ | anyone here have an IBM T61, I was thinking about buying one and wanted to know if it behaved itself fairly well with ubutu | 03:38 |
| ubunubi | unop: ~/.bashrc | 03:39 |
| robertj_ | also pondering an X61 :) | 03:39 |
| tech0007 | !hcl | robertj_ | 03:39 |
| ubottu | robertj_: For lists of supported hardware on Ubuntu see https://wiki.ubuntu.com/HardwareSupport - To help debugging and improving hardware detection, see https://wiki.ubuntu.com/DebuggingHardwareDetection | 03:39 |
| ubunubi | unop: there's where the bash man page suggests | 03:39 |
| gremory | j_baker: aren't you on kubuntu? | 03:39 |
| j_baker | Nope. Ubuntu running gnome. | 03:39 |
| gremory | ok | 03:39 |
| nobo | hi friends, | 03:40 |
| vbcoderx | unop: it returns: Installed: (none) Candidate: 1.102 Version table: 1.102 0 500 http://us.archive.ubuntu.com hardy/main Packages | 03:40 |
| unop | ubunubi, yes, it might be that your ~/.bashrc has some errors in it and stops executing when it encounters the errors and does not complete it's job successfully | 03:40 |
| nike | hey | 03:40 |
| Shujah | trashguy, sudo /etc/init.d/networking restart | 03:40 |
| Shujah | hiya nobo | 03:40 |
| nike | whats a good windows immulater? | 03:40 |
| nobo | can anyone tell me any dvd player on linux can play at speed 60X | 03:40 |
| vbcoderx | niek what u mean | 03:40 |
| nobo | just like winddvd | 03:40 |
| nike | emulate | 03:40 |
| ubunubi | unop: bash launches fine without any errors. in fact, it's sources the alias file fine, because if i purposely put a typo in the alias file, every terminal i launch complains. but if i have just a properly formatted alias in there, it does _not_ take effect | 03:41 |
| vbcoderx | like to run windows programs? | 03:41 |
| joaquin | holaaaaaaaaa | 03:41 |
| nobo | no | 03:41 |
| emilioeduardob | hi! i just unplugged and plugged a pen drive but it doesn't get mounted automatically and it doesn't show on the mount applet | 03:41 |
| nike | yea | 03:41 |
| manguy | how can i chmod everything in a directory? | 03:41 |
| jsquared | manguy: chmod [perm] * | 03:41 |
| unop | ubunubi, what happens when you source bash_aliases directly | 03:41 |
| mpn | i have a dell XPS 410, it came with an internal TEAC 12-in-1 media reader... | 03:41 |
| Shujah | manguy, chmod -R | 03:41 |
| td123 | emilioeduardob: try plugging it into another port | 03:41 |
| jsquared | Shujah: that does it recursively | 03:41 |
| mpn | ...and when I plug in a card the light comes on but the card isn't mounted | 03:42 |
| manguy | thanks! | 03:42 |
| joaquin | alguna latinaaa??? | 03:42 |
| Blaqlight | nike, WINE | 03:42 |
| enmasse | Shujah: what is compiz fusion icon? | 03:42 |
| ubunubi | unop:: then the alias runs fine | 03:42 |
| unop | !es | joaquin | 03:42 |
| ubottu | joaquin: 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. | 03:42 |
| hepee | thanks for the help... hopefully i won't be back for a while | 03:42 |
| joaquin | ok sorry | 03:42 |
| Shujah | enmasse, it's an app which will let you change from metacity to compiz and viceversa on a single click | 03:42 |
| nobo | can anyone tell me any dvd player on linux can play at speed 60X like windvd? | 03:42 |
| gremory | olá | 03:42 |
| unop | ubunubi, strange .. make a backup of your ~/.bashrc, create a new one and have one line sourcing .bash_aliases -- see what happens then | 03:43 |
| enmasse | Shujah: what is this metacity i keep hearing of | 03:43 |
| emilioeduardob | is there a way to detect the pen drive without restarting ubuntu? | 03:43 |
| gremory | !pt | 03:43 |
| ubottu | Por favor use #ubuntu-br ou #ubuntu-pt para ajuda em português. Obrigado. | 03:43 |
| jdsbluedevl | [Iggy]: I did what you said, and it didn't work | 03:43 |
| gremory | !it | 03:43 |
| ubottu | Vai su #ubuntu-it se vuoi parlare in italiano, in questo canale usiamo solo l'inglese. Grazie! | 03:43 |
| jdsbluedevl | also, I rechecked Metacity, and it appears running gnome-system-monitor still doesn't have scrollbars | 03:43 |
| unop | !abusethebot > gremory | 03:43 |
| ubottu | gremory, please see my private message | 03:43 |
| Shujah | enmasse, default window manager of gnome | 03:43 |
| tech0007 | emilioeduardob: run 'lsusb' to check if its detected | 03:43 |
| ubunubi | unop:: for sourcing directly from ~/.bashrc i just uncommented the #if [ -f ~/.bash_aliases ]; then# . ~/.bash_aliases #fi (3 lines)...is that broken sourcing syntax (even tho it was in the default .bashrc) | 03:44 |
| enmasse | Shujah: so how do i go about uninstalling compiz but still being able to run my windows decorations? | 03:44 |
| mpn | did anyone get an internal TEAC media reader to mount cards in ubuntu | 03:44 |
| emilioeduardob | tech0007: it's not detected, but it was 2 minutes ago.. if i restart it apears again | 03:44 |
| Shujah | enmasse, you can't do that with compiz specific effects | 03:44 |
| rockenrola | ubunubi: how about sourcing .bashrc ? | 03:45 |
| mpn | internal TEAC media reader, cards aren't mounting but the light comes on when a card is plugged in | 03:45 |
| enmasse | Shujah: so how can i make it so that i am not running any effects that slow down my pc but still have my windows decorations and make these settings saved so i dont have to keep redoing them on every boot | 03:45 |
| unop | ubunubi, it looks normal .. although i prefer writing it this way. test -f ~/.bash_aliases && source ~/.bash_aliases | 03:45 |
| tech0007 | emilioeduardob: 'sudo rmmod ehci_hcd' then re-insert the drive | 03:45 |
| Shujah | enmasse, what specific decorations do you want | 03:45 |
| jsquared | is there a way to tell Ubuntu not to show my local desktop when I'm remoting into it? | 03:45 |
| enmasse | Shujah: just the one where i can see minimize/max/x | 03:46 |
| ubunubi | rockenrola: if i source ~/.bashrc directly from terminal, the aliases do not take effect | 03:46 |
| enmasse | Shujah: to me compiz seems more like a novelty, i can do without it | 03:46 |
| rockenrola | ubunubi: than it must be the test that fails. try an echo in it | 03:46 |
| unop | ubunubi, tried this? source /home/$USER/.bashrc | 03:46 |
| enmasse | Shujah: but its hard for me to say that the cube is NOT fun :D | 03:46 |
| mpn | my tv tuner doesn't work either, internal PCIe ATI that dell put in | 03:46 |
| Shujah | enmasse, I diddnt get you - mini/max/x are default so you'll have em without compiz | 03:46 |
| jdsbluedevl | so I ask everyone here again: how in the holy h*!! do I get scrollbars into my user windows in GNOME? Issue at http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=788755 | 03:46 |
| miked595 | /msg NickServ identify miked595 inc595ubus | 03:47 |
| emilioeduardob | tech0007: same problem, after that i did modprobe on that module and nothing happends | 03:47 |
| ubunubi | unop: can that just be sitting on it's own line? everything else in there is encased between if.... fi 's ? | 03:47 |
| mpn | xawtv gets no channels | 03:47 |
| enmasse | Shujah: thats what i thought but when i went into terminal and typed compiz everything just went away... | 03:47 |
| Shujah | jdsbluedevl, in edit> profile > edit have you disabled scrol bars? | 03:47 |
| td123 | jdsbluedevl: if its a bug without a fix, you can't... and don't yell please | 03:47 |
| unop | ubunubi, no, comment out those three lines and put this on a line of its own | 03:47 |
| Shujah | enmasse, thats because you have not selected an emerald theme | 03:47 |
| unop | ubunubi, this is just a different way of writing the same 3 lines | 03:47 |
| ubunubi | unop: if i do that, and launch a terminal, my terminal breaks. never get a command line | 03:48 |
| jdsbluedevl | Shujah: no | 03:48 |
| enmasse | Shujah: so how do i go about doing that now that i have emerald? | 03:48 |
| tech0007 | emilioeduardob: unload ehci_hcd | 03:48 |
| Shujah | enmasse, dude have you installed fusion icon yet? | 03:48 |
| ubunubi | unop: nvm, changing your txt to .bash_aliases instead of .bashrc fixed it | 03:48 |
| unop | ubunubi, puzzling .. not sure why .. just make that. source ~/.bash_aliases then | 03:48 |
| jdsbluedevl | td123, I was yelling because no one was listening to me, either in here or at Ubuntuforums.org | 03:48 |
| Shujah | enmasse, right click and select emerald manager | 03:48 |
| enmasse | Shujah: well i went into synaptic and could not find compiz-fusion-icon | 03:48 |
| unohu | enmasse: enmasse do u need anything from compiz? or plain metacity will do? | 03:49 |
| jdsbluedevl | just look at that thread and see how many of those posts were mine | 03:49 |
| enmasse | Shujah: i only found compiz-fusion-bcop | 03:49 |
| unop | ubunubi, i never said .bashrc :) | 03:49 |
| enmasse | Shujah: well i will try metacity and see how different it is but as of now compiz is just for aesthetics and i can do without it :) | 03:49 |
| emilioeduardob | tech0007: i unloaded it but nothing happends | 03:49 |
| ubunubi | unop: yes you did. i copy&pasted it:: ubunubi, tried this? source /home/$USER/.bashrc | 03:49 |
| unop | ubunubi, if you put .bashrc there, there is an endless loop going on, .bashrc keeps sourcing itself endlessly | 03:49 |
| td123 | jdsbluedevl: if people knew the answer, I'm sure they would help you, remember, these are volunteers not paid customer service you can yell at | 03:49 |
| unop | ubunubi, that was meant to have gone on the command line .. sorry, i should have said | 03:50 |
| mpn | my hardware isn't working in ubuntu | 03:50 |
| enmasse | Shujah: i went into terminal and typed emerald and it says i already have a decoration manager... | 03:50 |
| ubunubi | unop: thanks for the help | 03:50 |
| unop | ubunubi, I was talking about this one. test -f ~/.bash_aliases && source ~/.bash_aliases | 03:50 |
| unop | that should have gone in .bashrc | 03:50 |
| unohu | enmasse: you have to type emerald --replace | 03:50 |
| enmasse | Shujah: ahh i see what i did wrong I DONT have just FUSION-icon | 03:50 |
| enmasse | Shujah: i thought i need compiz-fusion-icon | 03:50 |
| tech0007 | emilioeduardob: its not in lsusb? restart ubuntu then check | 03:51 |
| miked595 | sup channel | 03:51 |
| unohu | enmasse: if u dont need compiz then y do u need compiz-icon? | 03:51 |
| unop | ubunubi, you're thanking me? does that mean you've got this resolved? | 03:51 |
| hexoroid | can anybody tell me in which file you change tftp port ? is it in /etc/xinetd.d/tftp | 03:51 |
| enmasse | Shujah: i thought you said i needed it to go to metacity | 03:51 |
| ubunubi | unop:: yes | 03:51 |
| conrad2k | tech007: it didn't work. I can only boot to shell now, the GUI is gone. How do I restore the old display? | 03:51 |
| Shujah | enmasse, dude it is called compiz-fusion-icon its in the ubuntu repo wonder why you cant get it, try searching via add/remove programs | 03:51 |
| unop | ubunubi, cool, what was it you did? | 03:51 |
| enmasse | Shujah: okay, i was searching thru sinaptic but ill try add/remove | 03:52 |
| unohu | enmasse: if you dont need compiz ...then go to appearence preferences and disable all effects ..that will do.... | 03:52 |
| ubunubi | unop:: the line you meant for me to type in terminal was what i put in .bashrc, which was making it an endless loop. just edited it to .bash_aliases | 03:52 |
| emilioeduardob | tech0007: i tried restarting and then it shows, but if i unmount it and extract it , and plug it again it doens't show till the next rebiit | 03:52 |
| emilioeduardob | reboot | 03:52 |
| enmasse | unohu: i did that but then it makes my windows x/min/max go away | 03:52 |
| unop | ubunubi, ahh ok .. wonder why the default test was failing then .. something wrong with bash or your .bash_aliases file | 03:53 |
| tech0007 | conrad2k: post /var/log/Xorg.0.log to paste.ubuntu.com then 'sudo cp /etc/X11/xorg.conf.bak /etc/X11/xorg.conf' to restore backup | 03:53 |
| unohu | enmasse: after disabling logout once and log in....... | 03:53 |
| ubunubi | unop:: it was just unediting the default test i c&p'd to you. never changed my alias file the whole time. it's default test was failing somehow | 03:53 |
| enmasse | unohu: how do i log out / login? | 03:54 |
| miked595 | anyone know where I could find a script like pastebin? | 03:54 |
| mpn | my card reader dosent work | 03:54 |
| conrad2k | tech007: not sure i understand about posting to paste.ubunto.com | 03:54 |
| miked595 | mpn pay it more | 03:54 |
| unohu | enmasse: red button in the corner...... | 03:54 |
| ubunubi | unop:: you could probably reproduce it on your system. i just unedited the alias test that's already there. you could test yourself | 03:54 |
| enmasse | Shujah: i typed emerald --replace and turned off ALL compiz effects | 03:54 |
| tech0007 | emilioeduardob: run 'tail -f /var/log/messages' to check what keeps ur pendrive from remounting | 03:55 |
| unop | ubunubi, maybe that was meant to have been written with 'source' rather than '.' . only exists for backwards compat. with the old bourne shell i.e. if [[ -f ~/.bash_aliases ]]; then source ~/.bash_aliases; fi | 03:55 |
| mpn | i put in a card, the light comes on, but the card isnt mounted | 03:55 |
| enmasse | unohu: hey dude what is emerald theme manager? | 03:55 |
| SubZeroLux | my install is having problems taking my passwords now- i sometimes have to enter them two times before anything happens- sometimes it accepts but does not perform the command i requested, any ideas? | 03:55 |
| tech0007 | !paste | conrad2k: | 03:55 |
| ubottu | conrad2k:: 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) | 03:55 |
| miked595 | what kind of card mpn | 03:55 |
| mpn | internal teac reader that came with the dell | 03:55 |
| ishmandoo | i have a problem with my ubuntu computer, could someone help me? | 03:55 |
| unop | ubunubi, my ~/.bashrc is my very own, i've been using it for years across all sorts of systems | 03:55 |
| ubunubi | unop: ah ic | 03:55 |
| harriseldon | mpn have you checked the system logs? | 03:55 |
| mpn | it's one of those 12-in-1 TEAC readers that dell bundles in their machines | 03:55 |
| unop | ubunubi, it hardly resemebles the default ubuntu one now | 03:56 |
| mpn | no where is that | 03:56 |
| emilioeduardob | tech0007: it says "device not accepting address 9, error -32" after new "high speed USB device using ehci_hcd and address 9" | 03:56 |
| ishmandoo | anyone? | 03:56 |
| Flannel | !ask | ishmandoo | 03:56 |

| unop | ubunubi, ubuntu's keeping you dancing :) atleast you aren't twiddling your thumbs ;) | 03:57 |
| SubZeroLux | can i repeat my question? | 03:57 |
| Coded1 | i have an old pinnacle pci tv (cable analog), it gets recognized in xubuntu in hardy from viewing lsmod | grep bt i get a bunch of drivers (about 10 or so) like v4l2_common, videodev, bttv, etc what node in /dev should i point a media player to, to watch tv? | 03:57 |
| mpn | okay i plugged it in wit the system log up and it sayded the following: | 03:57 |
| ishmandoo | my ubuntu computer has been working great but the optical drives dont seem to work, every time I try to read a cd or dvd, it says that it cant mount it. any ideas? | 03:57 |
| miked595 | mpn don't flood the channel | 03:57 |
| ubunubi | unop:: no kidding. i woke up at 5am and started working on it. and looked down to see why i was hungry already..and realized it was 10:40am already -- definately wasn't bored | 03:57 |
| hexoroid | can anybody tell me in which file you change tftp port ? is it in /etc/xinetd.d/tftp | 03:58 |
| tech0007 | emilioeduardob: sorry, this is beyond my level of knowledge now | 03:58 |
| mpn | mounded /dev/sdf1 on behalf od uid 1000 | 03:58 |
| nickrud | SubZeroLux generally every 5 - 10 minutes is good | 03:58 |
| unop | subzero2000, what password is this? | 03:58 |
| emilioeduardob | tech0007: thanks for the help =) | 03:58 |
| SubZeroLux | my primary login and my su/root | 03:58 |
| unop | hexoroid, yes, and you need to restart xinetd | 03:58 |
| SubZeroLux | i did a bios update last night and things got a little bit- odd :/ | 03:58 |
| unop | SubZeroLux, you've enabled the root account? | 03:59 |
| ishmandoo | my ubuntu computer has been working great but the optical drives dont seem to work, every time I try to read a cd or dvd, it says that it cant mount it. any ideas? | 03:59 |
| harriseldon | mpn that is a good sign. Do you have multiple users logged at the same time (fast user switching)? | 03:59 |
| mpn | theres only one user, me | 03:59 |
| SubZeroLux | unop: yes, i've been running this install for months now | 03:59 |
| miked595 | mpn, type dmesg and paste the output here http://paste.ubuntu.com/ | 03:59 |
| ubunubi | ishmandoo: edit your default fstab, and set fs to auto instead of whatever it may be for the cdrom | 03:59 |
| ferric | hiya - how do i set the default resolution that ubuntu starts X up in? /etc/X11/xorg.conf? | 03:59 |
| harriseldon | mpn it looks like it is mounted. Do you see an icon on the desktop? | 03:59 |
| ishmandoo | how do i do that? | 03:59 |
| mpn | it says it mounted buts it not in gnome? | 03:59 |
| ubunubi | ferric: do you have gnome-desktop installed? //graphical X desktop environment? | 04:00 |
| mpn | theres no icon | 04:00 |
| miked595 | oh type mount | 04:00 |
| ishmandoo | gnome | 04:00 |
| unop | SubZeroLux, hmm, could be one of the pam modules at fault -- i would check these files /var/log/{auth.log,syslog} | 04:00 |
| ubunubi | ishmandoo: pastebin me your fstab | 04:00 |
| unop | SubZeroLux, might also find information in the other files in the same directory | 04:00 |
| SubZeroLux | unop: makes sense, i edited part of that earlier trying to install fprint for my biometrics- which brings me to my next question | 04:01 |
| ishmandoo | i'm sorry, i have no idea how to do that | 04:01 |
| ishmandoo | what is my fstab? | 04:01 |
| ubunubi | ishmandoo:: do you know how to open a terminal? | 04:01 |
| ishmandoo | yeah | 04:01 |
| mpn | heres what it say after i plug in the card http://paste.ubuntu.com/26574/ | 04:01 |
| SubZeroLux | unop: aah, you're absolutely right, my pam.d/common-auth had a duplicate line in it that must have caused a conflict | 04:02 |
| ubunubi | ishmandoo: open a terminal, type gedit /etc/fstab ...then copy that text and paste at http://ubuntu.pastebin.com and paste the link//URL to that in this chat | 04:02 |
| harriseldon | mpn the mount point is usually /media/[volume id]. You can check in nautilus (file manager) for the drive. If it is there, then we can look into why it is not showing up. | 04:02 |
| miked595 | mpn, what des it say when you type "mount" | 04:02 |
| SubZeroLux | ok, second part- i am on a Dell XPS m1330, i'd like to enable the biometric fingerprint scanner, i heard fprint was a good package, anyone have much experience with that? | 04:02 |
| unop | SubZeroLux, now that doesn't make sense, pam ought to ignore the repeat | 04:02 |
| ishmandoo | http://ubuntu.pastebin.com/m5c8582da | 04:03 |
| cupe^ | When I install Ubuntu 8.04, is there a way to manually choose packages to install and not? For example, can I completely skip Gnome? | 04:03 |
| mpn | /dev/sdf1 on /media/MP3S type vfat (...) | 04:03 |
| SubZeroLux | unop: it was slightly different, one said requisite the other was 'required' for pam_unix.so nullok_secure (two entries) | 04:03 |
| ubunubi | ishmandoo: check your PM | 04:03 |
| mpn | MP#S is the volume name | 04:03 |
| conrad2k | tech007: okay, i am back where i started with 800x600 resolution, except the screen colors are inverse! | 04:03 |
| mpn | *mp3s | 04:03 |
| miked595 | there's ur mount point | 04:03 |
| unop | SubZeroLux, ahh now, that makes sense | 04:03 |
| SubZeroLux | it was part of the fprint config setup, but the packages would not install | 04:04 |
| miked595 | what happens when u visit /media in gnome? | 04:04 |
| mpn | ah wait i finded it | 04:04 |
| tech0007 | conrad2k: post to paste.ubuntu.com your /etc/X11/xorg.conf and /var/log/Xorg.0.log | 04:04 |
| unop | SubZeroLux, not sure you'd find much info on biometrics in here -- you might like to try #debian or some authoritative source | 04:04 |
| mpn | it was /media/MP3S | 04:04 |
| ferric | ubunubi: yeah, I think gnome or something starts up, but i'm connected to my TV and the rez is too high, so i can't see anything | 04:04 |
| SubZeroLux | unop: sounds good, thanks | 04:04 |
| miked595 | hehe | 04:04 |
| mpn | thanks very much | 04:04 |

| ferric | ubunubi: but I can drop to a shell and edit xorg.conf | 04:04 |
| unop | SubZeroLux, yw | 04:04 |
| tech0007 | cupe^: you dont want a gui? | 04:04 |
| miked595 | mpn, gj | 04:05 |
| cupe^ | tech0007: I want openbox. Not a full DE. | 04:05 |
| khin | hi i have a question about a file i downloaded off bit torrent, it takes the form of all these little tiny files that end in .ts.xvid.r#, where # is the file number. is there some way to read this mess in ubuntu and re-assemble the actual video file? | 04:05 |
| Chriz21 | can i get the ubuntu mobile notebook download link????? | 04:05 |
| mpn | yeah for some reason gnome isn't adding an icon like it does with the other drives | 04:05 |
| conrad2k | tech007: I'll try to do that | 04:05 |
| harriseldon | cupe^ is the system so low on hard drive resources that you cannot just change the session in gdm? | 04:05 |
| mpn | but its mounting | 04:05 |
| cupe^ | tech0007: But the question was more of.. can I i.e choose not to install gnome, pidgin, etc etc? | 04:05 |
| cupe^ | harriseldon: Nah, I just dont want gnome or any DE at all. | 04:06 |
| tech0007 | cupe^: nope, they're installed by default | 04:06 |
| Shujah | back | 04:06 |
| miked595 | that a problem with the hotplug? | 04:06 |
| cupe^ | tech0007: That sucks. :/ | 04:06 |
| tech0007 | cupe^: you can remove them and check this link https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Openbox | 04:06 |
| cupe^ | Guess I'll have to use server install, then? | 04:06 |
| harriseldon | cupe^ you will be hard pressed to find an app that does not require gnome libraries | 04:06 |
| khin | does anyone know what .ts.xvid.r<number> is | 04:06 |
| rockenrola | cupe^: the alternate install doesn't do that? | 04:06 |
| miked595 | cupe^, get ubuntu server for now DE | 04:06 |
| cupe^ | harriseldon: Well.. I don't need ALL of the gnome libs, do I ? | 04:06 |
| Shooooo | What version of VMWare should I use (server/workstation?) if I want to use Ubuntu as my main OS and run Windows XP Pro in the VM? I didn't see VMWare in the repositories | 04:06 |
| miked595 | no^ | 04:07 |
| ubunubi | Shooooo: you have to download vmware server source and compile | 04:07 |
| === allen is now known as Bob_Sagot | ||
| ubunubi | Shooooo: it's no longer in the repos | 04:07 |
| harriseldon | cupe^ they are only loaded as needed. If you have the hard drive space, it does not hurt to be there | 04:07 |
| cupe^ | miked595: Just what I thought. Thanks. | 04:07 |
| Shooooo | ubunubi: server source, thanks i'll D/L now | 04:07 |
| ubunubi | Shooooo: unless you only need vmware player... | 04:07 |
| cupe^ | harriseldon: Mkay. | 04:07 |
| Flannel | cupe^: Alternate CD can install a GUI-less box too. If you've got it already | 04:07 |
| Shooooo | ubunubi: Haven't created the Virtual Machine yet, so I think I need server. :) | 04:07 |
| === conrad2k is now known as conradk | ||
| cupe^ | The thing is that I want a system that is as clean as possible :> | 04:07 |
| harriseldon | cupe^ you can always try debian. Then you get no gui by default. | 04:07 |
| ubunubi | Shooooo: yup | 04:07 |
| ubunubi | Shooooo: make sure to run the compile as root to avoid a bunch of headaches | 04:08 |
| Shujah | like ubuntu kubuntu xubuntu there oughta be a ubuntu for gaming gbuntu | 04:08 |
| unohu | cupe^: give arch linux a try.... | 04:08 |
| Shooooo | This is so exciting, with a Virtual Machine I might not *EVER* have to boot into Windows again! xD (besides for a few games) | 04:08 |
| cupe^ | harriseldon: Aiight, thanks. | 04:08 |
| cupe^ | unohu: I did. | 04:08 |

| miked595 | anyone know where I can get pastebin source code? trying to run a private one inside an intranet. | 04:09 |

| ice_cream | hmm.. so i finally decided to grab ff3 w/o updating first on 7.10 ...i ended up w/ some kind of Gran Paradiso 3.0a8 with the %#*@ earth icon =/ | 04:12 |
| bazhang | khin, the r<number> is part of a rar archice | 04:12 |
| Shooooo | ubunubi: Should I get the .RPM or the .TAR.GZ? | 04:12 |
| tech0007 | khin: did i download that from torrent? | 04:12 |
| Flannel | ice_cream: 7.10 backports has an alpha version of firefox 3. | 04:12 |
| * ice_cream nods | 04:12 | |
| ubunubi | Shooooo: tar.gz ....rpm is bad | 04:12 |
| ice_cream | but why the earth icon!?! | 04:12 |
| miked595 | ubunubi, w00t! thanx | 04:12 |
| corollax | shooo: I concur. Go with tar.gz | 04:13 |
| ice_cream | it makes me want to uninstall everything just looking at it | 04:13 |
| ubunubi | miked595: enjoy | 04:13 |
| oiaohm | So alien or ubuntu not working too well. | 04:13 |
| oiaohm | on ubuntu | 04:13 |
| ice_cream | i know, i'm demanding | 04:13 |
| harriseldon | mpn I just found this regarding drives on desktop http://ubuntuforums.org/archive/index.php/t-443791.html | 04:14 |
| IdleOne | ubunubi, rpm is not bad. it is just not used by Ubuntu | 04:14 |
| ice_cream | now i have to go through and manually replace it w/ my pretty red firebird icon =/ | 04:14 |
| khin | bazhang so do I need to un-rar it or something before I can do anything else | 04:14 |
| phish | How can i change the look of gnome-panel? I've seen screenshots where it's black (not color-filled) but it looked nice. How can i do that? | 04:14 |
| ubunubi | IdleOne: for his purpose it would be detrimental to use | 04:14 |
| Shooooo | ice_cream: You can change your theme if you like, it will probably also change that earth icon to something else. :) Any icon packs you can put in the /home/.icons/ folder. | 04:14 |
| cupe^ | ice_cream: Why don't just update Fx? ;P | 04:14 |
| bazhang | khin, just click the first one it should auto-join | 04:14 |
| miked595 | unohu, I just thought about ubuntu MID.. that would be pretty lean right? | 04:14 |
| ice_cream | i should probably update the whole system then | 04:14 |
| Shooooo | phish: Download a theme from places like gnome-look.org and put the theme into the /home/.themes/ (theme or themes) folder... then open "Appearance" and drag the theme folder into the Appearance window | 04:15 |
| Atomic | hey guys, i have a problem that isn't really related to Ubuntu, but no other chans seem to know and maybe someone here does anyhow... anyway, a forum that i go to is acting a little weird. i can't just type in the url or it'll gimme a 404 but if I go to google and tpye in the url and click the first link (just a normal link to the site) it'll open and the site seems fine. This isn't a problem on my side, as the same thing is happening to | 04:15 |
| phish | Shooooo: Alright, thanks :) | 04:15 |
| bazhang | Atomic, this is using ubuntu? | 04:15 |
| ubunubi | is it possible to mount an iso in r/w mode and add files, and the iso parameters auto be adjusted on dismount to accommodate the added files? | 04:16 |
| bazhang | ubunubi, /msg ubottu uck | 04:16 |
| ice_cream | Shooooo, i am a minimalist, and i dont run gnome, so 'changing theme' will not work =P | 04:16 |
| Shooooo | Atomic: Maybe the web site admins made it so you can only access that particular page if you are coming from a certain page, to prevent direct connections to that page. | 04:16 |
| khin | bazhang i guess i need to install unrar | 04:16 |
| miked595 | ubunubi, not that i know of | 04:16 |

| cupe^ | ice_cream: yep | 04:17 |
| Atomic | bazhang: well it happens when i use my ubuntu partition, or XP | 04:17 |
| cupe^ | ice_cream: Fx is the CORRECT abbrevation! ;) | 04:17 |
| Atomic | Shooooo: ah good point, yes, i will check | 04:17 |
| ubunubi | tech0007: will that allow r/w ISO and not corrupt it (by auto adjusting) ? | 04:17 |
| cupe^ | FF = Final Fantasy. | 04:17 |

| nickrud | enmasse gtk1 is obsolescent, gtk2 is current | 04:20 |
| harriseldon | enmasse gtk draws the widgets for gnome | 04:20 |
| nickrud | enmasse and gnome is built on gtk2 | 04:20 |
| enmasse | Shujah: okay, but i was looking through the package manager and saw i didnt even have gnome installed, so should i install it? | 04:20 |
| Shujah | enmasse, :S that cant be dude | 04:21 |
| harriseldon | enmasse are you using kubuntu or xubuntu or other derivative? | 04:21 |
| enmasse | guys i was looking thru my package manager and saw i didnt even have gnome core installed... so to use a gnome theme I NEED gnome core right? Im using hardy heron | 04:21 |
| nickrud | enmasse no! That's a package from debian, and isn't really intended for ubuntu (used to break stuff in the old days, not sure about now) | 04:21 |
| nickrud | enmasse if you have ubuntu-desktop installed, you can use any theme that's properly made | 04:22 |
| enmasse | kk | 04:22 |
| enmasse | lol | 04:22 |
| nickrud | enmasse note the "correctly made" :) And, a nice tool for use with themes is gnome-color-chooser | 04:22 |
| enmasse | hmm okay ill look at it :D | 04:23 |

| koolranch | Hi everyone, I'm trying to uninstall my bluetooth drivers, but they don't shop up with hciconfig. According to lsmod, bluetooth is being used by rf comm and l2cap. Will I screw up my computer by rmmod ing those two processes? | 04:26 |
| ignignokt00 | hi. i'm trying to get data from an external ext3 disk to my mac disk. i'm running an 8.04 live cd at the moment, and while i can read both drives fine, nautilus gives me "read only" error messages when i try to copy or change anything, but 'mount' tells me that my mac disk is mounted rw. it's obviously something permissions related, so how do i get around it? | 04:26 |
| enmasse | omg BuufIcons or Umicons lol? | 04:26 |
| tech0007 | ignignokt00: 'gksu' or 'gksudo' | 04:27 |
| ignignokt00 | tried. no luck. | 04:27 |
| ignignokt00 | let me see what the message actually says | 04:27 |
| nickrud | enmasse what do you mean? png or svg mostly, some xpm. Usually come in icon packs ;) | 04:28 |
| enmasse | nickrud: lol what i meant was which do you guys like more | 04:28 |
| ignignokt00 | The destination is read-only. | 04:28 |
| koolranch | Can anyone help me with that bluetooth issue? | 04:28 |
| ignignokt00 | trying to drag from root nautilus window to root nautilus window | 04:28 |
| enmasse | nickrud: and if i download any icons i can use them in gnome right? do they auto change or do i have to change manually each icon for each thing? | 04:28 |
| Shujah | enmasse, I'm oldfashioned still using Tangerine :P | 04:28 |
| nickrud | enmasse you would download an icon pack, drag it onto the window opened with right click desktop, change background, then select custom on the theme tab section. Then you can change the icons enmasse ;) | 04:29 |
| Shujah | enmasse, download anyicontheme drag to appearance window- it'll install | 04:29 |
| enmasse | Shujah: lol dude if i get icons from deviant art i can just use them right? I dont have to change each icon manually for everything right? | 04:29 |
| bobertdos | ignignokt00: I'll admit, that's peculiar if you're trying to go from root to root...........I suppose you could try chmodding the directories/files you're trying to copy....... | 04:30 |
| Shujah | enmasse, yes you'll change all the icons in theme | 04:30 |
| harriseldon | enmasse as long as it is part of valid gnome icon theme, all the icons will change automatically | 04:30 |
| ignignokt00 | more specifically? and if i chmod my os x user folder, it won't mess up anything in os x? | 04:30 |
| ignignokt00 | i know this is an ubuntu channel, lol | 04:30 |
| Shujah | enmasse, gnome-llok and gnome-arts are customization pools check em out | 04:31 |
| nickrud | enmasse changing just one icon in all places it might be used (menus, panel, desktop, etc) is not trivial, sadly | 04:31 |
| ignignokt00 | feel a little out of place, but an os x channel would do me worse | 04:31 |
| p47ch | does anybody here can help with a problem with a pendrive in xubutu ? | 04:31 |
| ubunubi | !anyone | p47 | 04:31 |
| ubottu | p47: 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? | 04:31 |
| bobertdos | ignignokt00: Well, I for one, will forgive you :D | 04:31 |
| ignignokt00 | preciate it :) | 04:32 |
| bobertdos | ignignokt00: Besides, Mac's are Unix based and Linux is Unix based.......meh, it all fits in my opinion. | 04:32 |

| ice_cream | what is this 'dragging' pfft | 04:32 |
| Vock | hey, i just have a question about multiple partitions/HDDs in ubuntu: I was using an FTP client, and for some reason it couldn't see outside of the linux partition, to a different HDD or partition, anyone know why? | 04:32 |
| ice_cream | use real commands, ignignokt00 =P | 04:32 |
| ignignokt00 | haha, i can try it from the command line if you like | 04:32 |
| ignignokt00 | will that error message be more useful? | 04:33 |
| SkinnYPup | Does VmWareServer work on Hardy ? | 04:33 |
| enmasse | kk | 04:33 |
| ubunubi | vock:: are all your partitions the same file FS? ..what was the ftp client? was it running in wine? | 04:33 |
| ice_cream | you could also try umounting, changing fmask and dmask, mounting again | 04:33 |
| ice_cream | (er... in fstab) | 04:33 |
| nickrud | ignignokt00 if you really don't want to ask on osx , ask on a bsd channel (isn't osx bsd based more than linux based?) Anyway, this is not an osx help channel | 04:33 |
| bobertdos | ignignokt00: Anyway, I can't promise chmodding your directories will be completely harmless to the Mac OS, but in theory, you should always be able to change them back. | 04:33 |
| pun | how to use qq in ubuntu 8.04 | 04:33 |
| harriseldon | vock can you cd out of the current directory at all? sometimes ftp will prevent that for security reasons. It may be a setting on the ftp server. | 04:34 |
| ferric | ok, so, lotsa threads on the forums about setting up yoru system with TVOut... can anyone point me to the definitive one? | 04:34 |
| Vock | ubunubi:The ftp client was gFTP, not running under wine | 04:34 |
| Vock | I can cd out a bit, past the home directory | 04:34 |
| ignignokt00 | thanks bobert i'll give it a go | 04:34 |
| Vock | but won't let me switch to a different partition | 04:34 |
| bobertdos | ignignokt00: If you want to try it, I'd suggest adding full permissions, (777). | 04:34 |
| SkinnYPup | I have a few vmware machines on my 6.06 I'd like to continue using. Anyone using Vmwareserver on their Hardy? | 04:35 |
| ubunubi | vock:: and you were trying to connect to another FTP. were you trying to send files from another partition/hdd to the ftp server? | 04:35 |
| Vock | and all my partions are NTFs | 04:35 |
| bobertdos | ignignokt00:: or equivalently a+rwx........whichever :p | 04:35 |
| harriseldon | vock do you mean it will let you go from /home/user to /home/user/Documents or can you goto /home/user2/? | 04:35 |
| ignignokt00 | sudo: cd: command not found | 04:35 |
| ubunubi | ignignokt00: why do you need to chmod your OSX files?? | 04:35 |

| ubunubi | ignignokt00: you can't sudo cd | 04:36 |
| nickrud | ignignokt00 you can't use sudo with cd. | 04:36 |
| ignignokt00 | well, apparently | 04:36 |
| ice_cream | (i was laughing to myself about my own problem, sorry) | 04:36 |
| Vock | I don't have a /home/user2/ | 04:36 |
| ignignokt00 | it won't even let me cd to my user directory | 04:36 |
| Vock | but i can get out of the my documents directory | 04:36 |
| ignignokt00 | which is odd, considering i did in a root nautilus | 04:36 |
| * ice_cream had just updated to fx 2.0.0.15 =D | 04:36 | |
| harriseldon | vock are you saying that on your client computer you cannot change to a directory outside of the current partition? not on the server | 04:37 |
| nickrud | ignignokt00 then it sounds like you need to use sudo -i so you are root, and can fix whatever you broke | 04:37 |
| ignignokt00 | ubunubi: i need to chmod my osx files because i'm trying to copy data from an external ext3 disk to my osx user folder.. | 04:37 |
| Vock | sorry, yes, on the client side | 04:37 |
| ubunubi | ignignokt00: if you sudo cp the files. they'll go over just fine | 04:37 |
| ignignokt00 | i haven't broken anything | 04:37 |
| ubunubi | ignignokt00: without chmodding anything | 04:37 |
| bobertdos | reverx: Umm, have you tried using ndisgtk (with ndiswrapper)? | 04:37 |
| ignignokt00 | i promise you, they won't | 04:37 |
| ignignokt00 | or rather, they didn't | 04:38 |

| harriseldon | reverx it looks like the wireless card is BCM4310. Broadcom has some issues on Linux with native drivers. I have no experience with these cards. Maybe someone else in the channel has experience with these cards | 04:39 |

| vasocreta | so, after much searching, I have decided to try my luck here. Anyone have suggestions on getting networking and sound to come back up after suspend and hibernate in Hardy Heron? | 04:40 |
| nickrud | TsuruyaSan plug in a cable to your router, you should get a connection automatically | 04:40 |
| TsuruyaSan | More importantly, how do you view the sites the "connecting to the internet" help file points to? | 04:40 |
| ignignokt00 | ubunubi: http://pastebin.ca/1068816 | 04:40 |
| TsuruyaSan | ice_cream: That's in Soviet Russia | 04:40 |
| bobertdos | reverx: Well, as long as you follow the guides and end up buying a supported card, you should ultimately end up with a nice, solid G connection :) | 04:40 |
| PorkSoda | Any one heard of a bug with the gnome-themes-extras package? Specifically with the DarkLooks theme? | 04:40 |
| ice_cream | oh, i thought ubuntu was international | 04:40 |
| harriseldon | TsuruyaSan are you asking how to get your network card working or how to launch firefox? | 04:40 |
| TsuruyaSan | nickrud: It's working fine on Windoze, but there's no connection on Ubuntu | 04:41 |
| reverx | bobertdos: Thats good to know | 04:41 |
| PorkSoda | Any one have a sec to confirm a bug? | 04:41 |
| TsuruyaSan | I know how to launch firefox | 04:41 |
| nickrud | TsuruyaSan is this wireless or cabled? | 04:41 |
| TsuruyaSan | Now how do I connect to the Internets | 04:41 |
| TsuruyaSan | Cabled | 04:41 |
| TsuruyaSan | On a comtrend CT-301 ADSL Modem | 04:41 |
| reverx | bobertdos: I did notice though that for the BCM4310 there were 3 different versions on the link you gave me | 04:41 |
| enmasse | Shujah: haha got the icon them working :D | 04:41 |
| zty | hello | 04:41 |
| harriseldon | TsuruyaSan is this a wired or wireless connection? Are you plugged directly into the ADSL modem? | 04:41 |
| TsuruyaSan | Wired | 04:42 |
| TsuruyaSan | Yes. | 04:42 |
| ubunubi | ignignokt00: this may not be the sole problem. but having escaped characters in the mountpoint name can't be helping...i'd copy line #12 into my /etc/fstab and remove the "\040HD" from the mountpoint | 04:42 |
| ice_cream | ignignokt00, strange that you have a backslash after Macintosh, eh? | 04:42 |

| Rhorse | is there an add-on graphical audio equalizer for gnome/alsa? | 04:42 |
| nickrud | TsuruyaSan ah, pppoeconf is the hard way, the best way (if the modem supports it) is having the modem negociate the connection, and have it give a dhcp address to ubuntu | 04:42 |

| PorkSoda | Shooooo, On Heron, if you install gnome-themes-extras,, the darklooks theme will not "stick" | 04:43 |

| bobertdos | reverx: Yeah, that's because that table is designed to show you different scenarios with the same card. Example, Does it work with ndiswrapper? No Does it work completely plug and play? No. Does it work when you install fwcutter, Yes. | 04:46 |

| aa235315 | it seemed like the easies way to do it, since im a total noob when it comes to Linux | 04:48 |
| reverx | bobertdos: sorry fwcutter | 04:48 |
| nickrud | TsuruyaSan you might want to install pppoeconf, then run sudo pppoeconf in a terminal. Once you do that, you can do sudo pon sudo poff to start stop internet. But I'd hack the modem eventually, it's a much better way to configure it | 04:48 |
| nickrud | TsuruyaSan and hack is only software hack by the way | 04:48 |

| bobertdos | koolranch: That is what it appears to be from my point of view. I see C headers and source files, so yes, I would say so. | 04:58 |
| Shooooo | enmasse: Sorry, no idea, I never used gtk 2.0 themes... I use the Metacity ones. :) | 04:58 |
| mwhit74 | harriseldon: yes it is i mean i am running it now on this computer so i got it to work once but its been a long time since then | 04:58 |
| merula | enmasse, oh wait... I see. With Emerald, it just sets the windows... you have to run the emerald manager program and then ensure that the package is installed | 04:58 |

| * TsuruyaSan leads Jarrett to a chair. "Here, don't hurt yourself :P" | 05:00 | |
| enmasse | merula: lol | 05:00 |
| TsuruyaSan | Anywhoo, cya. | 05:00 |
| JarrettGreen | thanks shoopz - we are best friends | 05:00 |
| enmasse | not really | 05:00 |
| enmasse | no have cash :( | 05:01 |
| Agent_bob | mwhit74 i have never see ubuntu live CD's "rar'd" | 05:01 |
| merula | enmasse, oh that blows. | 05:01 |
| cvd-pr | i cant even watch flash videos in firefox with out crashing, its there anything i can do in lunx | 05:01 |
| mwhit74 | Agent_bob: well can you point me to the correct website then? | 05:01 |
| ubunubi | cds-pr: with the correct supported hardware, and proper configuration -- yes, just about anything | 05:01 |
| harriseldon | mwhit74 when you insert a cd into a computer and boot it up, the bios will search the drives according the boot order for a device that can boot. If the bios is not set to search the cd drive, it will not boot | 05:01 |
| Agent_bob | !install | mwhit74 | 05:01 |
| ubottu | mwhit74: Ubuntu can be installed in a lot of ways. Please see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Installation for documentation. Problems during install? See https://wiki.ubuntu.com/CommonProblemsInstall. Don't want to use a CD? Try http://tinyurl.com/3exghs - See also !automate | 05:01 |
| ice_cream | cvd-pr, wait for the bug to be fixed =) | 05:02 |
| Shoopz | cvd-pr: Are you using the Macromedia Flash package from the Add/Remove and Firefox latest version (non-beta)? :P | 05:02 |
| cvd-pr | Shoopz, sure like always | 05:02 |
| mwhit74 | harriseldon: i have already checked this, i think it is the cd i am using | 05:02 |
| JarrettGreen | sooooooooooooo | 05:02 |
| ice_cream | he's back! | 05:03 |
| harriseldon | mwhit74 then you may want to burn another cd or check the md5sum of your iso image and verify it against the md5sum listed on the download page | 05:03 |
| cvd-pr | i notice tha firefox crach if i install the libflash | 05:03 |
| badbrainz | I accidentally set the gnome-terminal to run a command and close on startup - resulting in not being able to use it. How can I reset this mistake? | 05:03 |
| JarrettGreen | oh i've been here | 05:03 |
| Agent_bob | mwhit74 http://ubuntu.com | 05:03 |
| harriseldon | mwhit74 then you can verify that your iso is not corrupted | 05:03 |
| JarrettGreen | designing | 05:03 |
| kcaj | What is a programs to record my desktop all that I do? | 05:03 |
| merula | Shoopz, by the way, I'm having the same problem running Firefox 3.0 Beta and installing the latest adobe flash v9 | 05:03 |
| kcaj | and then put it on a youstube | 05:03 |
| JarrettGreen | xubuntu blows | 05:03 |
| JarrettGreen | I'll say that | 05:03 |
| cvd-pr | but if i dont install the libflash support i dont have flash audio | 05:03 |
| JarrettGreen | for sure | 05:03 |
| ice_cream | hmm why is that? you dont like xfce? | 05:03 |
| Shoopz | merula: Sadly it seems Flash is quite sluggish in Firefox. :( Depressing. | 05:03 |
| JarrettGreen | I dunno | 05:04 |
| merula | Shoopz, no, not sluggish. Impossible to install normally, yes. | 05:04 |
| JarrettGreen | I was impressed with the GUI but not the functionality of the GUI | 05:04 |
| JarrettGreen | that probably made no sense | 05:04 |
| * ice_cream shrugs | 05:04 | |
| badbrainz | xfce + compiz is nice, imo | 05:04 |
| kcaj | me needs program to record desktop actions, like for a tutorial, and make a youtube | 05:04 |
| JarrettGreen | I like linux, but iut's going to take more to get my mom to use it | 05:05 |
| JarrettGreen | make sen se? | 05:05 |
| kcaj | any suggests? | 05:05 |
| cvd-pr | I think that libflash is the problem | 05:05 |
| ice_cream | i just use a server version of ubuntu and manually install something... like fluxbox in this case | 05:05 |
| JarrettGreen | I can't feel muy face ;) | 05:05 |
| harriseldon | kcaj look at recordmydesktop (there is a gtk version) | 05:05 |
| JarrettGreen | Can't feel my face but I can still msiley face :) :) :) :) | 05:05 |
| merula | I dunno, kcaj && JarrettGreen, something about the simplicity of gnome works. It's simple to understand, and yet, it has all sorts of powerful features behind it. | 05:05 |
| cvd-pr | ? | 05:05 |
| Agent_bob | kcaj i could sujest that you don't teach others until you don't have to ask how to teach them... | 05:06 |
| JarrettGreen | merula - I need to try out gnome - this was KDE 4 | 05:06 |
| Agent_bob | kcaj but that might defete the purpose. | 05:06 |
| merula | JarrettGreen, grab the latest ubuntu | 05:06 |
| JarrettGreen | is there a good GUI for server stuff/ | 05:06 |
| JarrettGreen | ? | 05:06 |
| ice_cream | gnome was ok until i suddenly started a hatred for bulky stuff | 05:06 |
| cvd-pr | libflashsupport have a bug? | 05:06 |
| JarrettGreen | I'm using webmiun | 05:06 |
| Shoopz | ice_cream: I thought GNOME was minimalist? | 05:06 |
| merula | ice_cream, how do you keep emoting? | 05:07 |
| ice_cream | Shoopz, no way | 05:07 |
| Agent_bob | ice_cream tried fluxbox ? | 05:07 |
| kcaj | I am only going to teach them that compiz fusion rox them hahaha | 05:07 |
| enmasse | merula: hey | 05:07 |
| ice_cream | merula, what? | 05:07 |
| merula | enmasse, yeah? | 05:07 |
| kcaj | Ubuntu Satanic Edition + compiz fusion (0.7.6) == omgs rox | 05:07 |
| Iggie | ice_cream: bulky stuff? | 05:07 |
| enmasse | merula: okay i found emerland theme manager thing and added the theme there and logged and logged back in and still the same thing... | 05:07 |
| Shoopz | kcaj: Once I tried compiz-fusion I can't live without it... Super-M (negative), Super-E (Expo)... (Desktop wall).... godly! | 05:07 |
| merula | ice_cream, you are able to put emotes into chat... I forgot the command. | 05:07 |
| ice_cream | Agent_bob, that's what i said... i'm using fluxbox =) | 05:07 |
| enmasse | and its kinda starting to get me ticked off... | 05:07 |
| ice_cream | merula, i just manually type an = sign and then a letter, like P or D | 05:07 |
| nickrud | merula that's a really good description of why I use gnome myself. I've watched it change over the years, and sometimes forget just how much it does for me now | 05:07 |
| merula | enmasse, um... hmph... lemme think... it took a few tries for me to get it right. | 05:07 |
| ubunubi | kcaj: that theme looks obnoxious, how do you get work done? | 05:08 |
| hardy | help needed "installation of debian through usb" | 05:08 |
| p47ch | Shoopz: the same of me | 05:08 |

| Agent_bob | ice_cream sorry. only caught the hatred of bloat. my bad. | 05:08 |
| ice_cream | merula, but just because you see an emote doesnt mean that i do, as it's client specific =) | 05:08 |
| p47ch | Shoopz: I love compiz | 05:08 |
| harriseldon | hardy what do you mean "through usb?" | 05:08 |
| kiwis | im having a problem upgrading, when i type sudo apt-get upgrade i get ... E: Some index files failed to download, they have been ignored, or old ones used instead. | 05:08 |
| Shoopz | Sorry I was going offtopic, if you guys wanna chat about compiz-fusion and themes come hit us up in /join #ubuntu-offtopic :P | 05:08 |
| merula | ice_cream, gah... sorry. ::headdesk:: it's been a long day. | 05:08 |

| kiwis | any help greatly appreciated | 05:09 |
| Shoopz | kiwis: You mean downloading Ubuntu Udates? | 05:09 |
| mwhit74 | harriseldon: i think that is my problem i didn't get the right files to do the install i am working on that now | 05:09 |
| nickrud | kiwis try a different mirror | 05:09 |
| Flannel | kiwis: pastebin the output of sudo apt-get update, and your sources.list | 05:09 |
| ubunubi | ignignokt00: np. if you run into any issues actually copying it. boot into OXS and open a termin and type "id" to get your user id, then mount the hfs+ in fstab using uidmask=(set to osx id) | 05:09 |
| hardy | harriseldon,pendrive......... | 05:09 |
| ignignokt00 | great, thanks | 05:09 |
| bobertdos | ubunubi: Huh, I learned something, I was sure the Macintosh file systems were journaled too........ | 05:10 |
| Agent_bob | kiwis you did update didnt you ? | 05:10 |
| port | is anyone here good with bluetooth? I can connect to my headset with rfcomm, but not hcitool. It auto disconnects. | 05:10 |
| kiwis | i didnt get any | 05:10 |
| ubunubi | bobertdos: they are (or can be) but it can be disabled just like ext3 | 05:10 |
| Agent_bob | kiwis not upgrade. update | 05:10 |
| kiwis | and i just installed kubuntu | 05:10 |
| harriseldon | hardy you booted off a debian pendrive and want to install it to your hard drive? Or are you asking how to install debian to a pendrive? | 05:10 |
| bobertdos | ubunubi: true | 05:10 |
| kiwis | no | 05:10 |
| merula | enmasse, okay, you've dragged the folder into the emerald themer and it's there. You've selected it and quit out of the themer, then reloaded X and it's still bad? | 05:10 |
| p47ch | kiwis: I think it's possible your repositoies are old, wich version of ubuntu you have ? when was the last time you made a update ? | 05:10 |
| Flannel | kiwis: pastebin the output of sudo apt-get update, and your sources.list | 05:10 |
| Agent_bob | kiwis sudo apt-get update then try the upgrade. | 05:10 |
| Iggie | !paste | kiwis | 05:11 |
| ubottu | kiwis: 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) | 05:11 |
| JarrettGreen | here's question - When it comes to linux distros is there a huge difference b eteen fedora and ubuntu in a lamp coimmad line server stetting | 05:11 |
| nickrud | kiwis see Flannel above | 05:11 |
| ubunubi | bobertdos: and what we just learned was hard's hfs+ driver doesn't have write support for hfs+ yet if journaling on the hfs+ is enabled at the time | 05:11 |
| ubunubi | hardy's* | 05:11 |
| enmasse | hmm | 05:11 |
| MariachiAC | Wehre do I get gcc libs and gnome-speech-ibmtts? It's not in the repositories for ubuntu. | 05:11 |
| nickrud | JarrettGreen you're not going to get a "best" discussion here, you might get some interest in #ubuntu-offtopic | 05:11 |
| JarrettGreen | zi'm jsut confused as to what seperate linix distros in general | 05:11 |
| hardy | ???.........i want to setup a pendrive through which i can install the debian...............sry if this is nt clear | 05:12 |
| bobertdos | ubunubi: Aha! *mentally notes this :)* | 05:12 |
| enmasse | merula: what i did was download the theme, right click, change desktop, install the theme THEN drag the theme into emerland themer and quit out the themer | 05:12 |
| JarrettGreen | ahhhh off topic | 05:12 |
| Flannel | JarrettGreen: #ubuntu-offtopic is the perfect place for that question | 05:12 |

| ubunubi | ignignokt00: if you copy any system files (non-media//user created). remember to run "repair permissions" from OSX disk utility on reboot to clean up any messes before they cause system issues | 05:12 |
| JarrettGreen | meh. | 05:12 |
| ignignokt00 | cool, that's good to know | 05:13 |

| ubunubi | ignignokt00: and mostly. dont forget to reenable journaling when you're done :P | 05:13 |
| * nickrud would never use redhat over ubuntu/debian, becasue he'd have to learn something new | 05:13 | |
| JarrettGreen | is there any reason to have GUI on ubunutu for server admin stuff if you're a noob? Aside from webmin> | 05:13 |
| ignignokt00 | bah of course | 05:13 |
| JarrettGreen | ? | 05:13 |
| merula | nickrud, <salute> | 05:13 |
| Agent_bob | ubunubi "repair permissions" that's a mac command ? | 05:13 |
| port | is anyone here good with bluetooth? I can connect to my headset with rfcomm, but not hcitool. It auto disconnects. [i've googled it to death] I've wasted the better part of 2 weeks trying to get it to work. In windows it works fine | 05:14 |
| nickrud | JarrettGreen webmin is depreciated in ubuntu, ebox is the replacement. And a light gui is useful | 05:14 |
| kiwis | http://paste.ubuntu.com/26587/ | 05:14 |
| Flannel | JarrettGreen: No, there are no server tasks that require a GUI | 05:14 |
| ubunubi | JarrettGreen: it's helpful for true noobies, i find. even if just because you can turn on firefox and google for help or have an IRC client for assistance | 05:14 |
| JarrettGreen | ebox huh | 05:14 |
| JarrettGreen | ? | 05:14 |
| phish | how do i remove an application ( like pidgin or nautilus ) from automagically starting up? | 05:14 |
| merula | JarrettGreen, of course -- you need to have the gui since you're not able to do *absolutely* everything efficiently via terminal | 05:14 |
| JarrettGreen | apt-get ebox? | 05:14 |
| jbroome | webmin is the devil. | 05:14 |
| enmasse | merula: so let me get this right, drag theme into themer select it and close themer and everything should change? | 05:14 |
| Flannel | kiwis: That's not what we asked for. sudo apt-get update, and then also the contents of /etc/apt/sources.list | 05:14 |
| Gnea | jerrcs: a GUI is never useful on a server. just a waste of resources. | 05:14 |

| JarrettGreen | Sweet- you guys are non-jerk linux people | 05:15 |
| JarrettGreen | ;) | 05:15 |
| hardy | harriseldon.......u got me ??? | 05:15 |
| nickrud | JarrettGreen you should do a search for ebox in synaptic or with apt-cache, there are many plugins | 05:15 |
| Agent_bob | ubunubi irssi :) | 05:15 |
| merula | enmasse, you should only have to right-click once, which you did... so just drag it over, select it, and then quit, then restart X by using Ctrl-Alt-Backspace | 05:15 |
| Iggie | kiwis, can you paste your sources.list? | 05:15 |
| ubunubi | Agent_bob: of course there are alternatives, but they're not _nearly_ as easy to use or multi task getting help, as a GUI version | 05:15 |
| ice_cream | JarrettGreen, that's because they arrived later and missed your rant =) | 05:15 |
| ubunubi | Agent_bob: he could even use lynx to google for help. but that takes ages compared to firefox | 05:15 |
| phish | ubunubi: any chance you know the command for it? ( using xfce and the menus are wack ) | 05:15 |
| Agent_bob | ubunubi elinks :) | 05:15 |
| nickrud | JarrettGreen we try to keep the jerkyness down, but they still pass through here | 05:16 |
| bobertdos | phish: For average apps, they can be removed from the Startup tab in the Sessions Menu under System->Preferences. | 05:16 |

| xipietotec | ? | 05:16 |
| ubunubi | phish: xfce probably doesn't have the same session editor that gnome has. can't help ya there. you'll have to look up XFCE documentation | 05:16 |
| enmasse | merula: okay still no luck.... | 05:16 |
| harriseldon | hardy did you look here? http://www.debian-administration.org/articles/446 | 05:17 |

| JarrettGreen | I like ubuntu - I just use it at a Ruby on Rails enviroment for our web production | 05:18 |
| JarrettGreen | any RoR devs here? | 05:18 |
| ubunubi | hardy: you want to install debian FROM a pendrive to your system. or from a LiveCD *to* the pendrive? | 05:18 |
| mwhit74 | shoopz thanks | 05:18 |
| Shoopz | mwhit74: Or if you don't want to pick a mirror location you can download via torrent. :) | 05:18 |
| bobertdos | mwhit74: Only in terms of transfer rate | 05:18 |
| bobertdos | mwhit74: other than that, no big deal | 05:19 |
| enmasse | so i take it no one know how to install that theme ... | 05:19 |

| ice_cream | or something ... or ##linux =P | 05:24 |
| harriseldon | Flannel hardy asked for debian, not Ubuntu | 05:24 |

| carbuntu | can anyne tell me why my screenres went from bad to worse after updating nvidia card driver to enable desktp effects, also i frgot how to make 4 desktops show instead of 2 | 05:26 |
| port | is anyone here good with bluetooth? I can connect to my headset with rfcomm, but not hcitool. It auto disconnects. [i've googled it to death] I've wasted the better part of 2 weeks trying to get it to work. In windows it works fine | 05:26 |
| JarrettGreen | how do I install ebox | 05:26 |
| bobertdos | You might want to check your processes list to make sure you don't have any audio related programs dangling in the background. | 05:26 |
| phish | Is there any way to change the resolution of the boot screen? Right now it's killing my old CRT with this huge resolution on boot. | 05:26 |
| JarrettGreen | apt-get install ebox | 05:26 |
| JarrettGreen | ? | 05:26 |
| Flannel | JarrettGreen: sudo apt-get install ebox | 05:26 |
| kiwis | flannel: http://paste.ubuntu.com/26589/ | 05:26 |
| Agent_bob | grant_ change ownership of your home dir to your user if | 05:26 |

| khin | sigh this movie is in a file format that cannot be fast forwarded... i have to wait it out until it gets to where i left off! how horrible. i tried converting to a different format but the quality goes down into the ground | 05:27 |
| bobertdos | TeslaTony: You might want to check your processes list to make sure you don't have any audio related programs dangling in the background. | 05:27 |
| nickrud | JarrettGreen gksu synaptic , and search (ctl-f) for ebox . There are several plugins you'll want as well | 05:27 |
| JarrettGreen | nickrud - thanks bud I appreciate the help | 05:27 |
| JarrettGreen | but I don't know if I have synaptic | 05:27 |
| JarrettGreen | just apt- | 05:27 |
| Flannel | kiwis: You don't need to open it with kdesu. And, you can't use kate in a termnal. `cat /etc/apt/sources.list` will output it for you though. Also, the output to `sudo apt-get update` | 05:27 |
| ice_cream | what kind of vodka was it? | 05:28 |
| hardy | thanx harriseldon,ubunubi,flannel..............i dint get the solution in debian channel......bt i got tht here.....gud channel | 05:28 |
| Agent_bob | grant_ sudo chown $USER $HOME -R | 05:28 |
| JarrettGreen | ice_cream - everyone is glad you asked | 05:28 |
| Flannel | hardy: Please don't ask for debian support here in the future, thanks. Try #debian on oftc | 05:28 |
| ubunubi | hardy:: best of luck. follow the instructions closely for best results//least frustration | 05:28 |
| Adam-S | carbuntu, Right click on the desktop switcher and select preferences that should let you enable 4 virtual desktops. To fix my screenres I had to run nvidia-settings, | 05:28 |
| grant_ | Bob: I am a complete newb, I dunno what that means | 05:28 |
| JarrettGreen | ice_cream we distilled it oursleves | 05:28 |
| hardy | ok...Flannel | 05:28 |
| Agent_bob | grant_ ok. | 05:28 |

| SkinnYPup | how to you rmdir a non empty directory in terminal ? | 05:29 |
| port | rm -r | 05:29 |
| SkinnYPup | port -thanks | 05:29 |
| gaten | im having problems with wine. after running wine for a couple of hours and closing it, the sound for the entire system does not work. also, I can't open open gnome terminal, or firefox. they just hang. the only solution is to reboot the system, even restarting gdm doesn't fix it. | 05:29 |
| JarrettGreen | ice-cream - what do you do | 05:29 |
| JarrettGreen | ? | 05:29 |
| ice_cream | student | 05:29 |
| ubunubi | SkinnYPup: rm -ri for extra protection | 05:29 |

| * Agent_bob sorry that he doesn't have time to walk grant_ through his issue, but well have to go. | 05:29 | |
| Flannel | JarrettGreen: Take it to #ubuntu-offtopic | 05:30 |
| kiwis | Flannel: kk http://paste.ubuntu.com/26590/ | 05:30 |
| JarrettGreen | son of a B flannel | 05:30 |
| ice_cream | yea i'm already in offtopic so | 05:30 |
| Flannel | kiwis: You just installed this? | 05:30 |
| JarrettGreen | please define 'ON-topic' | 05:30 |
| nickrud | JarrettGreen you're beginning to be a bit disruptive, so please take it over there | 05:30 |
| kiwis | Flannel: yes today this afternoon | 05:30 |
| === pingu__ is now known as mwhit74 | ||
| kiwis | Flannel: i have 6.1 | 05:31 |
| Flannel | kiwis: You should install a current version (8.04). Edgy (6.10, what you have installed) is no longer supported (and hasn't been for a few monts) | 05:31 |
| JarrettGreen | nickrud - how is typing some words 'disruptive' | 05:31 |
| kiwis | 6.10 | 05:31 |
| mwhit74 | what is the equalivent of publisher on ubuntu | 05:31 |
| Flannel | kiwis: months. The reason you can't update is because the repositories have been taken down. | 05:31 |
| Adam-S | JarrettGreen, on topic? Why that would be found in the topic of this channel! OMG | 05:31 |
| nickrud | JarrettGreen alcohol talk is not welcome here. Ebox is, so stay on that | 05:31 |
| Adam-S | sorry :( | 05:31 |
| kiwis | flannel: oh =/ | 05:31 |
| JarrettGreen | sorry guys | 05:32 |
| JarrettGreen | I'm a good IRCr | 05:32 |
| JarrettGreen | just celebrating | 05:32 |
| nickrud | JarrettGreen think absolute disney G rated, and you'll never go wrong ;) | 05:32 |
| Flannel | JarrettGreen: Take the celebration to #ubuntu-offtopic, this isn't the place for it. | 05:32 |
| harriseldon | mwhit74 check out scribus (look for it online) | 05:32 |
| JarrettGreen | lol | 05:32 |
| Flannel | JarrettGreen: but you're welcome to do so there. | 05:32 |
| JarrettGreen | k | 05:32 |
| JarrettGreen | I'll move | 05:32 |
| JarrettGreen | thanks flannel | 05:32 |
| JarrettGreen | sorry man | 05:32 |
| kiwis | flannel: is it possible to do dl the latest version instead of burnin another disk | 05:33 |
| JarrettGreen | ice-cream over there> | 05:33 |
| JarrettGreen | ? | 05:33 |
| ice_cream | yea | 05:33 |
| Flannel | kiwis: You'd have to update three times. It'll be easier (and faster, and less bandwidth) to just download the new version and do a fresh install | 05:33 |
| mwhit74 | harriseldon: thanks i think that is what i am looking for | 05:33 |
| harriseldon | mwhit74 yw | 05:34 |
| carbuntu | omg, can anyone tell me hw to save and exit out of nano, i just edited xorg.conf | 05:34 |
| bobertdos | grant_: Would you like me to pick up where Agent_Bob left off? | 05:34 |
| Flannel | carbuntu: ctrl-O is save (Write Out) and ctrl-X is quiet | 05:34 |
| Flannel | carbuntu: quit, even. | 05:34 |
| bobertdos | TeslaTony: Did you get my last message? | 05:35 |
| carbuntu | so do ctrl O, then ctrl X | 05:35 |
| Flannel | carbuntu: yep, or just ctrl-X, and it will ask if you want to save changes. | 05:35 |
| harriseldon | cardbuntu yes it is listed on the bottom of the screen (provided you are actually in nano) | 05:35 |
| TeslaTony | bobertdos: You asked if I had any sound related programs running that I didn't know about? Yeah...killed PulseAudio, and my screen froze (mouse worked, but nothing else did) | 05:35 |
| JarrettGreen | I'm over in off-topic flannel | 05:36 |
| TeslaTony | bobertdos: When I tried logging back in it hung again, so I switched to KDE4 (I love backups) | 05:36 |
| kiwis | flannel: i keep doin update but get the same error http://paste.ubuntu.com/26591/ | 05:36 |
| JarrettGreen | ask iceMream | 05:36 |
| carbuntu | yes, nw i did ctrl O am i spsd to enter | 05:36 |
| JarrettGreen | just so ya know | 05:36 |
| Flannel | kiwis: Right. You can't update, because the repositories don't exist anymore. | 05:36 |
| bobertdos | TeslaTony: I guess I'm not quite sure what to tell you then. I imagine there's a command-line equivalent to changing that setting though. Maybe you could try hunting it down? | 05:37 |
| kiwis | flannel: kk ill just burn a cd of the latest i guess then | 05:37 |
| Flannel | kiwis: That's what I'd recommend | 05:38 |
| TeslaTony | bobertdos: Yeah. Hopefully I can tweak things from KDE4 and get it all fixed. Thanks for the help. | 05:39 |
| Bidget | hey can anyone tell me why my avant window navigator has stopped working? It was just about 2 or 3 days ago and it's not working anymore, it will show up fine but I can't click on the icons or anything | 05:39 |

| Bidget | is there a specific channel for avant window navigator | 05:42 |
| Scunizi | Not that I'm aware of. | 05:42 |
| unohu | Bidget: try #awn | 05:43 |
| Bidget | thanks | 05:43 |
| bobertdos | TeslaTony: Best of luck, sorry I couldn't be more helpful. | 05:43 |
| mcquaid | anyone have issues with using the e100 module? This onboard nic worked fine in dapper, didn't upgrade the box since dapper, now it's hardy and have network lockups | 05:44 |
| mcquaid | i've seen various things on the forums but no solutions | 05:44 |
| mcquaid | some use the deprecated eepro100 but thats even worse | 05:44 |
| shey | hello | 05:45 |
| carbuntu | hmmmm.... edited xorg.conf and changed default depth from 24 to 16, but i'm still getting like 640 x 480 screenres, can anyone help | 05:45 |
| carbuntu | plus, the little spray effect when i click on the firefx icon seems to have disappeared | 05:45 |
| ubunubi | carbuntu: screen depth is just the amount of colors. has nothing to do with resolution | 05:45 |
| Adam-S | carbuntu, When I enabled Nvidia binary drivers I had to run nvidia-settings for it to detect my monitor correctly. Ever try it? | 05:46 |
| carbuntu | Adam, no, but tell me more | 05:46 |
| Adam-S | lemme try to find the details.... one moment | 05:47 |
| carbuntu | k, i appreciate | 05:47 |
| bobertdos | After recovering Ubuntu from an installation of XP, I seem to have lost my splash screen. Does anyone know how to remedy this? | 05:47 |
| Bidget | I'm trying to hook a blackberry pearl 8100 up to my computer and it's not detecting it, are there any apps or drivers that I can download to make it work? I looked in the repos but couldn't find anything | 05:47 |
| bobertdos | and by splash screen, I mean the Ubuntu loading screen before login | 05:48 |
| Adam-S | carbuntu, "sudo nvidia-settings" is what I had to do, I believe I had to install the package also. that should be... something like "sudo apt-get install nvidia-settings" hopefully somebody will correct me if that's wrong. | 05:49 |
| Adam-S | I ran it from a gnome-terminal and it opened up a dialog. | 05:49 |
| Adam-S | but it might be in the preferences menu after you get the package. | 05:49 |
| Adam-S | ... I mean Administration menu | 05:50 |
| shey | please cant you see me | 05:50 |

| SkinnYPup | What is the location of the directory of C header files that match your running | 05:55 |
| SkinnYPup | kernel?" | 05:55 |
| legend2440 | jargonjustin: edit /boot/grub/menu.lst and make sure it says # groot=(hd0,0). then kernel updates won't change it | 05:55 |
| cdoublejj|afk | k | 05:55 |
| Sinister | i know df shows all my hard drives but is there anything that shows total disk space used and free ? | 05:55 |
| Starnestommy | cdoublejj|afk: binaries made on one system often don't work on another | 05:55 |
| Starnestommy | cdoublejj|afk: for example, one built for amd64 won't work on a ppc | 05:56 |
| ripps | Suddenly, for no discernable reason, my Xv stopped working in Ubuntu 8.04.1 with fglrx 8.6 from Envy. I reintialized my xorg.conf and everthing. Why won't Xv work anymore? | 05:56 |
| cdoublejj|afk | i knew it each linux distro is way diffrent that is so gay thank fully linux can compile shit with out a seprate program | 05:56 |
| carbuntu | shoot, now i d0ont seem to have the bar across the top of my windows that has minimize, etc, and apparently the window on the terminal is so big i dont see the command prompt, what to do, what to do | 05:56 |
| nickrud | carbuntu try alt-f2 gtk-window-decorator --replace , and if that fails alt-f2 metacity --replace | 05:57 |
| unohu | Sinister: df | 05:58 |
| Shak- | anyone? would running itunes on windows with virtualbox to upgrade iphone/itouch firmware work? | 05:58 |
| kernel_ghost | Shak-: yes | 05:59 |
| SkinnYPup | What directory are C header files for the working kernel in on 8.04 ? | 05:59 |
| redek | hello everybody, I can´t play a dvd on the totem player, I supposedly installed the plug-ins of gstreamer, but still can't | 05:59 |

| isleshocky771 | I'm trying to use scp to pass a file from one ubuntu system to another and I'm getting the error: "command-line: line 0: Bad configuration option: PermitLocalCommand" | 05:59 |
| Sinister | df dont add them all up | 05:59 |
| isleshocky771 | Any insight would be appreciated. | 05:59 |
| Shak- | kernel_ghost: ok cool, have you done it yourself? | 05:59 |
| kernel_ghost | Shak-: yep | 06:00 |
| c0mp13371331337 | Is it just not possible to listen to mp3s on the computer while playing doom3? I noticed starting doom3 from the command line, it barks at me about sound device /dev/dsp being busy, which is true because I have mpd running. But I'd like to be able to frag to some Creedance. :-D | 06:00 |
| carbuntu | nickrud, will i have to restart x to apply changes | 06:00 |
| Shak- | kernel_ghost: do you use itunes within virtualbox to sync too? I don't see why I should use amarok/gtkpod anymore if I've got a windows install lying around | 06:01 |
| nickrud | SkinnYPup /usr/src/linux-headers-$(uname -r) | 06:01 |
| tonyyarusso | isleshocky771: what command are you issuing? | 06:01 |
| nickrud | carbuntu you shouldn't, no | 06:01 |
| SkinnYPup | nickrud : ty ! | 06:01 |
| kernel_ghost | Shak-: sure do, I also use it to do other naughty things that apple doesnt like | 06:01 |
| isleshocky771 | tonyyarusso: scp 200807110051.sql.tgz user@domain.com:~/ | 06:02 |
| carbuntu | ok, then the first one dint work i guess, so now i do alt f2, then metacity --replace | 06:02 |
| Iggie | c0mp13371331337, pulseaudio allows you to stream sound from multiple sources | 06:02 |
| nickrud | what is the name of the pulseaudio wrapper, anyway? | 06:02 |
| tonyyarusso | isleshocky771: do you get the same thing if you substitute /home/user for ~ ? | 06:02 |
| ripps | Suddenly, for no discernable reason, my Xv stopped working in Ubuntu 8.04.1 with fglrx 8.6 from Envy. I reintialized my xorg.conf and everthing. Why won't Xv work anymore? | 06:02 |
| isleshocky771 | tonyyarusso: yes | 06:03 |
| Shak- | kernel_ghost: ha, like? I'm trying to think what else I'd need windows for | 06:03 |
| JarrettGreen | hi!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! | 06:03 |
| tonyyarusso | isleshocky771: have you edited your ssh config by hand? | 06:03 |
| c0mp13371331337 | Iggie: So should it 'just work'? Or do I need to get down and dirty with some configurations? | 06:03 |
| isleshocky771 | tonyyarusso: no | 06:03 |
| nickrud | c0mp13371331337 try padsp <doom command> | 06:03 |
| gnub | I have a question, I have Windows partitions and another linux partition, they are all in /Media | 06:03 |
| carbuntu | nickrud, thanks, metacity replace wrkd | 06:03 |
| JarrettGreen | flannel? | 06:03 |
| nickrud | carbuntu yw | 06:04 |
| gnub | The Windows partitions are named what I named them in Windows but the linux one says disk | 06:04 |
| tonyyarusso | isleshocky771: hmm... Well, see if you can find that option in the config and comment it out for now perhaps. | 06:04 |
| nickrud | JarrettGreen Flannel's probably called it a night | 06:04 |
| kernel_ghost | Shak-: i use it for freeing the poor phone from its limitations ;) | 06:04 |
| gnub | How can I change that to say linux without breaking things | 06:04 |
| JarrettGreen | ooooh | 06:04 |
| kernel_ghost | Shak-: I'm just being humane u see | 06:04 |
| === delta_ is now known as DWebb | ||
| carbuntu | nickrud, i'm still having prob getting screenres right can yu suggest something | 06:04 |
| nickrud | carbuntu what video card are you using? | 06:04 |
| Bidget | ok here's an easy enough question, how do I align the icons on my desktop to a grid or at least make them straight and evenly spaced?? | 06:05 |
| unohu | gnub: try changing the label of partitions | 06:05 |
| === DWebb is now known as TS71DWebb | ||
| Shak- | kernel_ghost: aha I see, I can't wait for the next pwnage tool to be released | 06:05 |
| gnub | unohu, Ya thats what I want to do, how do I go about doing that | 06:05 |
| kernel_ghost | Shak-: well it wont be long now..... | 06:05 |
| carbuntu | nvidia, not sure ezackly which | 06:05 |
| nickrud | Bidget there is already a grid (which can't be changed, sadly). You can do right click desktop, arrange icons. That's about it. | 06:05 |
| nickrud | !nvidia | carbuntu | 06:05 |
| ubottu | carbuntu: For Ati/NVidia/Matrox video cards, see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/BinaryDriverHowto | 06:05 |
| Bidget | nickrud, that doesn't do anything though... | 06:05 |
| c0mp13371331337 | nickrud: Thanks, but that didn't seem to help the cause. MPD kept playing my music, doom3 kept being silent. | 06:06 |
| Adam-S | carbuntu, did you get the nvidia-settings dialog to show up? | 06:06 |
| genii | gnub: sudo tune2fs -L newnamehere /dev/thediskdevicenamehere | 06:06 |
| Bidget | nickrud, also there is no arrange icons option when I right click | 06:06 |
| Shak- | kernel_ghost: speaking of which, I hadn't migrated to ubuntu yet when I first pwned my phone, has the tool been released for linux? | 06:06 |
| carbuntu | adam, no | 06:06 |
| nickrud | Bidget sorry, that's clean up by name | 06:06 |
| kernel_ghost | Shak-: i dont think so | 06:06 |
| Bidget | nickrud, ah I see. | 06:06 |
| kernel_ghost | Shak-: I own a mac anyway | 06:06 |
| c0mp13371331337 | nickrud: although this time it barked that ioctl OSS_GETVERSION failed and that the sound subsystem is disabled. | 06:06 |
| nickrud | c0mp13371331337 I'm assuming mpd is using alsa directly? | 06:06 |
| kernel_ghost | Shak-: but when I am using ubuntu and want to do my magic, I use widnows in vm | 06:06 |
| Bidget | nickrud, is there something I can download that will help organize my desktop for me or anything? | 06:07 |
| Adam-S | carbuntu, you try "sudo apt-get install nvidia-settings" in a terminal? | 06:07 |
| isleshocky771 | tonyyarusso: That command doesn't exist anywhere. | 06:07 |
| Shak- | kernel_ghost: ah ok, vm or vbox? or does it not matter | 06:07 |
| c0mp13371331337 | nickrud: I didn't tell it to use anything else, so if that's what it uses by default then yes. | 06:07 |
| nickrud | Bidget no. That's one of the weaknesses of gnome, I tend to keep stuff in a couple folders on the desktop for that reason | 06:07 |
| tonyyarusso | isleshocky771: what? | 06:07 |
| kernel_ghost | Shak-: it doesnt matter | 06:07 |
| isleshocky771 | I can't find that directive in the sshd_config | 06:07 |
| kernel_ghost | Shak-: i've used both at various points | 06:07 |
| Shak- | kernel_ghost: do you prefer one over the other? | 06:08 |
| nickrud | c0mp13371331337 you can try installing alsa-oss , then running aoss <doom> . That used to work | 06:08 |
| kernel_ghost | Shak-: I also do other peoples iphones in vmware fusion on mac so i dont affect my mac setup | 06:08 |
| Bidget | nickrud, hmm... well there has to be something out there... I guess I'll have to look around | 06:08 |
| Bidget | nickrud, thanks though | 06:08 |
| SB | How do you install .tar.gz packages? For example I have one that I download from adobe flash. I pretty sure you run something in the terminal after you download it. | 06:08 |
| kernel_ghost | Shak-: ultimately I prefer vmware, but virtualbox is fine | 06:08 |
| nickrud | c0mp13371331337 I don't do a lot of special stuff with sound, this is stuff I've used a few times over the years | 06:08 |
| Adam-S | So similar to the problem I was having, I just want it to work. | 06:08 |
| Shak- | SB: tar -zxvf, or you could just use the gui archive manager | 06:08 |
| Shak- | kernel_ghost: ok cool, im gonna try this out now, thanks for the help :) | 06:09 |
| c0mp13371331337 | nickrud: Seems I already have it installed, let me try the command now..... BRB | 06:09 |
| nickrud | SB you should do sudo apt-get install libflashplugin-nonfree , that will install flash for you properly | 06:09 |
| kernel_ghost | Shak-: if u can call it that :) | 06:09 |
| Shak- | kernel_ghost: I tried google and no luck :p | 06:10 |
| kernel_ghost | Shak-: well enjoy. u wont have any issues | 06:10 |
| ClawEEE | hehe luck | 06:10 |
| SB | Shak, nickrud. Thanks. | 06:10 |
| SB | nickrud: it says E: Couldn't find package libflashplugin-nonfree | 06:10 |
| gnub | genii, sudo tune2fs -L "BackTrack 3" /dev/sda5 | 06:10 |
| gnub | genii, still named the same thing though | 06:10 |
| gnub | genii, in /media | 06:11 |
| nickrud | SB generally anything you would want to install from the web, check in the repositories for it first. See next factoid for finding it | 06:11 |
| nickrud | !hardysources | SB | 06:11 |
| ubottu | SB: In System->Admin->Software Sources, enable (main) (universe) (restricted) and (multiverse) and disable the Cdrom on the Ubuntu Software tab. On the Updates tab, enable (hardy-security) and (hardy-updates). | 06:11 |
| carbuntu | adam, ok, i got the nvidia settings installed and open, dont knw what to do with it | 06:11 |
| gnub | Do I need to unmount it first or remount | 06:11 |
| legend2440 | SB: do you mean flashplugin-nonfree ? | 06:12 |
| Adam-S | click X Server Display Configuration on the left side there. | 06:12 |
| FloodBot3 | !netsplit | 06:13 |
| ubottu | netsplit is when two IRC servers of the same network (like Freenode) disconnect from each other, so users on one server stop seeing users on the other. If this is happening now, just relax and enjoy the show. See http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Netsplit | 06:13 |
| c0mp13371331337 | nickrud: 'aoss doom3' works like a charm! Many thanks! | 06:13 |
| carbuntu | adam, ok, did that | 06:14 |
| Adam-S | carbuntu, Hopefully once you've clicked on X Server Display configuration you'll see it has detected all your monitors usual resolutions and you will be able to pick one. | 06:14 |
| Adam-S | carbuntu, I hope. | 06:14 |
| nickrud | c0mp13371331337 I've been doing some looking, and you might want to check out libao-pulse , that should get you the padsp working, if you wrap both mpd and doom in that, you should be able to integrate them both into pulseaudio and have gnome stuff work as well | 06:15 |
| carbuntu | nope, 640 x 480 | 06:15 |
| Adam-S | carbuntu, Try clicking Detect Displays. And what does it say your display is>? | 06:15 |
| nickrud | c0mp13371331337 I'm putting that on my to do list somewhere, checking that idea for truth. If you do it first, let me know | 06:16 |
| TheRealCdoublejj | how do install the rpm package from simple direc media layer | 06:16 |
| nickrud | !rpm | TheRealCdoublejj | 06:16 |
| ubottu | TheRealCdoublejj: RPM is the RedHat Package Management system. Ubuntu uses !APT, not RPM. RPM packages are not supported (the package "alien" can allow installing them, but it's quite dangerous) | 06:16 |
| c0mp13371331337 | nickrud: I'll try that as well, thanks again! | 06:16 |
| nickrud | TheRealCdoublejj I spent over an hour yesterday helping someone clean up from trying to install an rpm they aliened to a deb. Screwed up their package management something fierce. | 06:17 |
| TheRealCdoublejj | shit how do i get sdl for ubuntu i neeed it so i can compile and use my snes emulator much much work for an emulator | 06:17 |
| nickrud | TheRealCdoublejj sdl is available in the repositories, do a search for sdl in synaptic. You'll want the -dev packages for compiling | 06:18 |
| TheRealCdoublejj | linux is like the early windows it uses lots of commands and stuff | 06:18 |
| sgt | How to monitor CPU and HD temp at Ubuntu ? | 06:18 |
| nickrud | TheRealCdoublejj yeah, ain't it great :)) | 06:18 |
| carbuntu | adam, i dont see 'detect display' anywhere, if its at the bottom of the window it may not be visible to me... isn't there sme keyboard manuever for shrinking window size | 06:18 |
| nickrud | sgt there are several packages that do that, do a search in synaptic for cpu temp | 06:19 |

| TheRealCdoublejj | so when i compile some thing i have to use terminal type in file patch and what not and use -dev | 06:20 |
| Adam-S | carbuntu, you can hold alt and should be able to drag the window around | 06:20 |
| c0mp13371331337 | nickrud: I just installed that package, tried padsp doom3, no sound in doom3. Still getting the same ioctl OSS_GETVERSION failed message. | 06:20 |
| nickrud | TheRealCdoublejj yah, the -dev files have the header files you need to compile against | 06:20 |

| octal | lonejack, I don't know, but you might want to search for a package that includes an "irc server". | 06:21 |
| TheRealCdoublejj | normally i just click shit | 06:21 |
| octal | lonejack: or "irc daemon" | 06:21 |

| powertool08 | chriswr: I've had good experiences with clamav, it takes awhile to scan but I'm usually scanning hundreds of gb at a time | 07:30 |
| gnomefreak | yao_ziyuan: i would file a bug report and attach the files in /var/log/dist-upgrade so i can see exactly what package caused this issue | 07:30 |
| powertool08 | chriswr: I also used f-prot on a live cd once and found over 80 viruses on my aunts computer | 07:30 |
| aguai | it doesnt seems follow that system -> look and feel-> font.... | 07:31 |
| gnomefreak | bazhang: did you say he had intrepid sources by mistake and tried to upgrade but than relized that he didnt want intrepid or was he on intrepid and trying to downgrade | 07:31 |
| chriswr | powertool08: you know if one will cancel out the other or will those 2 work good together? | 07:31 |
| bazhang | gnomefreak, he changed sources.list back from intrepid; didnt say how they got there | 07:31 |
| gnomefreak | he also doesnt have -update repos enabled | 07:31 |
| powertool08 | chriswr: you might want to get chkrootkit and rkhunter to scan for linux rootkits, although rare, a few do exist and if you get really outdated could get one | 07:31 |

| cdoublej | plus a smartphone | 07:32 |
| bazhang | cdoublej, you have been asked many times to stop with the offtopic chat here | 07:32 |
| powertool08 | chriswr: they are more on-demand scanners so you only run them when you decide to, don't need all that active protection like on windows | 07:32 |
| gnomefreak | yao_ziyuan: were you on intrepid and wanted to downgrade to hardy? | 07:32 |
| bashca | have problem installing new ieee ?? any idea | 07:32 |
| cdoublej | oh sorry baz | 07:32 |
| bazhang | cdoublej, wont ask again. | 07:33 |

| chriswr | powertool08: cool , they dont take up a lot of space do they? | 07:33 |
| yao_ziyuan | let me restate my problem: i was trying to upgrade my kubuntu 8.04 to "8.04.1" by kdesu "adept_manager --dist-upgrade-devel" , but it resulted in some broken packages (listed at http://www.bytecool.com/ioiforum/read.php?1,8009,8009#msg-8009), and removing these broken packages requires *almost all packages on my system" to be removed too, and i already let the removal go halfway. so i'm very afraid my system will be dead after a reboot. so now i only | 07:33 |
| w33d5 | /join #macosx | 07:33 |
| gnomefreak | yao_ziyuan: thats why | 07:33 |
| cdoublej | sorry didn't realize it was a strict channel | 07:33 |
| gnomefreak | yao_ziyuan: using the -devel you were trying to upgrade to intrepid | 07:33 |
| bazhang | yao_ziyuan, you upgraded to intrepid | 07:33 |
| powertool08 | chriswr: I don't think so, I only have a 10 gb / drive (53 gb /home on another partition) and I never got above 53% full on the 10 gb | 07:33 |
| powertool08 | chriswr: so in short... no | 07:34 |

| bazhang | darkben, did you check the opera forums | 07:37 |

| starn | i am sure this has been asked befor but google dint help me.... why is it when i run two programs that use sound only one can have sound? in ubuntu [newest] like i am runing teamspeak and i want to also listen to music but i cant due to only one working at a time. | 07:38 |
| bazhang | darkben, firefox is the default ubuntu browser; why are you using opera? | 07:38 |

| darkben | faster with dialup | 07:38 |
| cdoublej | if add another hard drive to the computer is there any thing special i have to do to install programs to it via apt-get? | 07:38 |
| darkben | also firefox 3 has no support for persian language | 07:38 |
| bazhang | darkben, check opera forums or channel then | 07:38 |
| darkben | sure | 07:39 |
| gnomefreak | yao_ziyuan: wont change the fact that you have intrepid packages and you will keep getting failures until all intrepid and non supported packages are removed. -f install wont remove all of them | 07:39 |
| darkben | tanx | 07:39 |
| cdoublej | ff 3.0 took a step backwards | 07:39 |
| yao_ziyuan | gnomefreak: or maybe i should first go to a text-based console? | 07:39 |
| powertool08 | chriswr: hmm, I dunno, only used it once and it was from a livecd, I don't know how it was setup, but if its .exe you can use wine | 07:39 |
| chriswr | powertool08: ok , thnx | 07:39 |

| SodaKiller | powertool08 -> what do you mean "restricted extras" | 07:54 |
| starn | does anyone know how to have two programs have sound at the same time? i can only run one program that uses sound at a time.. err well with sound that is. | 07:54 |
| starn | kinda makes it hard to talk or do alot of media editing to only have one program with sound so ya know. | 07:55 |
| gnomefreak | yao_ziyuan: there is a reason we dont support downgrades and it is because you will rarely get rid of everthing and install what you want again it will have problems. but feel free to remove libgtk2 and whatever the qt lib is for kubuntu (however it will not remove everything so there is a 70% chance you will have a screwed up system | 07:55 |
| powertool08 | SodaKiller: in your sources enable multiverse and restricted (I use kde so I don't know the drop down menu sequence) | 07:56 |
| Iggie | SodaKiller, you can add that repository in synaptic | 07:56 |
| powertool08 | SodaKiller: if you open synaptic and go to the settings it will list them | 07:56 |
| gnomefreak | yao_ziyuan: your choice i gave you the ways to do it safe and unsafe but remember we cant fix it for you since you are only one at pc. libc6 if removed it will remove EVERYTHING so you wan tto keep that but if its intrepids than you will NEVER fix this | 07:57 |

| mcquaid | damn, what do nvidia users do to get brightness working in totem. i used to use opengl but that's no longer avail in hardy gstreamer for whatever reason | 08:05 |
| genii | cdoublej: Backporting is when they have for instance an app for a later version of ubuntu which they then "backport" to earlier versions of ubuntu | 08:05 |
| bashca | make[1]: Leaving directory `/usr/src/linux-headers-2.6.24-19-generic' | 08:06 |

| khin | anyone know if there is a way to "reset" this | 08:13 |
| bazhang | khin, how big is the drive | 08:13 |
| khin | 2 GB | 08:13 |
| rizkhan | khin: do a ls -a n see if there hidden files | 08:13 |
| nano_ | In gnome-terminal, is it possible to change the blinking cursor into a blinking underscore instead of a blinking block? | 08:13 |
| johnnypea | bazhang, there are default one, arent they? | 08:13 |
| bazhang | johnnypea, those are default yes | 08:13 |
| khin | all it says with ls -a are . and .. | 08:14 |
| arooni_____ | /tmp/stp-preride-guide-2008.pdf could not be saved, because you cannot change the contents of that folder. ... (ff3 on ubuntu hardy)... whats up???? | 08:14 |

| zetheroo | please help .... this is not working for me .... http://www.ubuntugeek.com/howto-change-cpu-frequency-scaling-in-ubuntu.html | 08:16 |
| bashca | bazhang, sorry i couldn't find it ?? any help please | 08:16 |
| johnnypea | bazhang, ones with some good stuff | 08:16 |
| bazhang | johnnypea, what constitutes 'good stuff' | 08:16 |
| anto9us | zetheroo, does your cpu support scaling? | 08:17 |
| Iggie | johnnypea, using unknown repositories is a great way to hose your computer really fast | 08:17 |
| zetheroo | anto9us: how can I tell? | 08:17 |
| bazhang | bashca, you removed something basic like that to compile and now cant get back? what does apt-cache search intel show (long list so look carefully) | 08:17 |
| bashca | ok | 08:18 |
| johnnypea | Iggie, thats why I am asking for tested one | 08:18 |
| jj_ | why my fetion friends are all inline ? | 08:18 |
| bazhang | johnnypea, what exactly do you want to add | 08:18 |
| anto9us | zetheroo, what model of cpu is it? | 08:18 |
| zetheroo | umm | 08:18 |
| bazhang | jj_, what does that mean | 08:18 |
| zetheroo | this is a duo core 2 ghz | 08:18 |
| Iggie | johnnypea: yeah... the tested ones are already supplied in your ubuntu installation | 08:18 |
| bashca | bazhang, where i can paste it | 08:18 |
| johnnypea | Iggie, :) ok thx anyway | 08:18 |
| anto9us | zetheroo, is it in a laptop computer? Scaling tends to be supported only by mobile processors. | 08:19 |
| bazhang | bashca, no need to paste; you need to do the searching | 08:19 |
| yao_ziyuan | i'm picking NETBOOT files for grub at http://archive.ubuntu.com/ubuntu/dists/d | 08:19 |
| yao_ziyuan | should i select "hardy" or "intrepid"? | 08:19 |
| bashca | bazhang, i did and i got long list | 08:19 |
| === gwardone_ is now known as gwardone | ||
| zetheroo | anto9us: Thinkpad T60 | 08:19 |
| Iggie | johnnypea: there aren't any secret file servers lurking on the internet with gigabytes of goodies :p | 08:19 |
| bazhang | yao_ziyuan, hardy | 08:19 |
| yao_ziyuan | is "intrepid" 8.04.1? | 08:19 |
| bazhang | yao_ziyuan, no | 08:19 |
| zetheroo | anto9us: I am pretty sure scaling is possible | 08:19 |
| Iggie | johnnypea: when it comes to repos, that is | 08:19 |
| johnnypea | Iggie, good to know :P | 08:19 |
| rsk | yao_ziyuan: intrepid will be 8.10 | 08:19 |
| gwardone | hello... i was wondering if there is a ubuntu on usb stick edition. | 08:19 |
| yao_ziyuan | bazhang: what happens if i do a clean install of "intrepid" via NETBOOT? | 08:20 |
| bazhang | yao_ziyuan, not a good idea | 08:20 |
| yao_ziyuan | OK | 08:20 |
| zetheroo | anto9us: "cat /sys/devices/system/cpu/cpu0/cpufreq/scaling_available_frequencies" gives me "2000000 1667000 1333000 1000000" | 08:20 |
| anto9us | zetheroo, I have scaling working on my other laptop, I seem to recall a reboot got it working, something to do with kernel module I think, anyway, reboot might sort it | 08:20 |
| zorglu_ | q. anybody on feisty 7.04, i need the result of a "ulimit -l" | 08:20 |
| zetheroo | anto9us: ok .. I will reboot ... thanks | 08:21 |
| nano_ | Is it possible to change the permission of a file in /proc, such that after reboot the change is still intact? | 08:21 |
| bazhang | nano_, why would you want to do that | 08:21 |
| bashca | bazhang, no nothing related to wireless ?? | 08:21 |
| doctorgonzo | hey hey, all. | 08:21 |
| nano_ | bazhang, I want to echo somevalue to > /proc/acpi/video/VGA/LCD/brightness | 08:21 |
| johnnypea | Iggie, I had one with PRISM lunchers for GOOGLE and I cant find it any more | 08:22 |
| nano_ | bazhang, I have a script that will do it, but I need to change the permission of this file permanently such that my script can run without having root privilages | 08:22 |
| doctorgonzo | ok. this has been driving me crazy. i've been fumbling with getting audio to work right with my FLASH plugin in FF3.0 I have my intel, on-board, audio and a USB headset. OS audio works find on USB and speakers. | 08:22 |
| zorglu_ | johnnypea: build it yourself with "prism for firefox" extension | 08:22 |
| bazhang | nano_, and that does what | 08:22 |
| doctorgonzo | flash audio only comes out of intel card and ONE speaker.. | 08:22 |
| nano_ | bazhang, it changes the brightness of my LCD | 08:23 |
| jj_ | can i speak Chinese? | 08:23 |
| rizkhan | zorglu_: unlimited | 08:23 |
| bazhang | jj_, not here; in #ubuntu-cn | 08:23 |

| jj_ | Thanks | 08:23 |
| bashca | bazhang, sorry i know u r busy but you are only hope i got to restore my driver | 08:23 |
| zorglu_ | rizkhan: on 8.04 it is 32kbyte | 08:23 |
| rizkhan | zorglu_: wat is this btw :P | 08:23 |
| zorglu_ | rizkhan: the amount of ram you can lock . aka prevent it from being swappec | 08:24 |
| tengulre | bzzhang: I known you are chinese too. | 08:24 |
| zorglu_ | swapped | 08:24 |
| SodaKiller | my understanding is it that the tablet PC has a stylus and would like to know how can i tell if Ubuntu is even seeing the device? | 08:24 |
| bazhang | tengulre, this is english only | 08:24 |
| bazhang | !cn | tengulre | 08:24 |
| ubottu | tengulre: For Ubuntu help in Chinese 您可以访问中文频道： #ubuntu-cn 或者 #ubuntu-tw 或者 #ubuntu-hk | 08:24 |
| rizkhan | oh yeah, ist 32 on 8.04 | 08:24 |

| rizkhan | *its | 08:24 |
| anto9us | Jaffarkelshac, hugin promises to do it, not tried it myself though, it's in the ubuntu repositories | 08:26 |
| rizkhan | using dual monitors, i am having my cursor as a weird rectangular box instead of a pointer, any reasons | 08:26 |
| Jaffarkelshac | cheers i will try it out | 08:26 |
| zetheroo | anto9us: I rebooted and still don't get the option | 08:26 |
| bazhang | bashca, paste output of lsmod -a to paste.ubuntu.com | 08:26 |
| SodaKiller | anybody can suggest a command that will let me see if the pen stylus is detected? | 08:26 |
| khin | rizkhan yeah it says 800 MB is in use but theres nothing on the drive | 08:26 |
| bazhang | bashca, dont paste in this channel | 08:26 |
| rizkhan | khin: did u try remounting it ? | 08:27 |
| liufei | hello | 08:27 |
| anto9us | zetheroo, I recall I couldn't set scaling in gui, I had to do it through command line but I set it to a fixed scale which is what I wanted | 08:27 |
| zetheroo | anto9us: so perhaps setting it through the GUI was only for Gutsy? | 08:28 |
| orgthingy | Hi | 08:28 |
| orgthingy | how can I change the menu bar in ubuntu? | 08:28 |
| orgthingy | u know, I want it to have "1" menu like Windows | 08:28 |
| bashca | ok | 08:28 |
| orgthingy | not one up, and one down | 08:28 |
| anto9us | zetheroo, perhaps, I know it works on Hardy but I had to do it with command line | 08:28 |
| bazhang | orgthingy, get some themes from gnome-look.org | 08:28 |
| starn | does anyone know how to make teamspeak work with PulseAudio? | 08:29 |
| orgthingy | ah, ok | 08:29 |
| zetheroo | anto9us: it works in Hardy? ... have you ever got it working ... through the GUI I mean... | 08:29 |
| rizkhan | khin: it could be due to the trash folder | 08:29 |
| bashca | bazhang, no nothing appear lsmod -s | 08:30 |
| anto9us | zetheroo, command line only, not tried gui for a while though, like I say, I just set it fixed scale and left it at that, didn't like it slowing down | 08:30 |
| bazhang | bashca, -a not -s | 08:30 |
| IGI | hi | 08:30 |
| IGI | 1 question | 08:30 |

| IGI | ubuntu is suck | 08:31 |
| IGI | i am russia | 08:31 |
| bazhang | IGI, then you best depart | 08:32 |
| genii | IGI: It runs on either. But since you're in an Ubuntu channel I'll say Ubuntu | 08:32 |
| doctorgonzo | l2grammar, IGI | 08:32 |
| bashca | bazhang, http://paste.ubuntu.com/26608/ | 08:32 |

| doctorgonzo | IGI -- dasvidanya , comrade! | 08:33 |
| bazhang | bashca, reading now | 08:33 |
| bashca | ok | 08:33 |
| bazhang | brrrrrradical, need a question | 08:33 |
| brrrrrradical | i just disconnected an ipod without unmounting it... now the icon is stuck on the desktop and whenever i reconnect my pod i cant play music from it | 08:33 |
| doctorgonzo | ok. anyone experiencing trouble with FF3.x and flash plugins? | 08:33 |
| flingwing | Hey guys - does anyone know what the 'best practice' is for small office networks- Amount of network socket per square meter or anything? | 08:33 |
| SodaKiller | i was, but not anymore ;) doctorgonzo | 08:33 |
| laughtear | hi from intrepid ibex...=) | 08:34 |
| doctorgonzo | 1.) i installed so damn many. how do you find out which you are running. 2.) how to remove them all 3.) how to install the default Adobe one and get STEREO sound to work? achl. | 08:34 |
| doctorgonzo | SodaKiller: ach. plx help! | 08:34 |
| bazhang | bashca, what is airprime? | 08:35 |
| anto9us | flingwing, only thing to consider is length of cable in my experience and then it would have to be a really big building for it to make a considerable difference | 08:35 |
| bashca | no idea | 08:35 |
| zetheroo | anto9us: hey ... much simpler and faster is to use Ubuntu Tweak.... its a slick app with all the power management needs in a nice GUI setting | 08:35 |
| SodaKiller | nothing really, i just installed it from the synaptic package manager. | 08:35 |
| bazhang | bashca, you were successful in compiling that module or not | 08:35 |
| anto9us | zetheroo, it worked for you did it? | 08:35 |
| bashca | bazhang, am using ZTE mdsl usb | 08:35 |
| brrrrrradical | i just disconnected an ipod without unmounting it... now the icon is stuck on the desktop and whenever i reconnect my pod i cant play music from it | 08:36 |
| doctorgonzo | SodaKiller: which one? i installed the default Adobe one and it wasn' tworking for audio at ALL. then FF had me install some GStreamer ones + other. | 08:36 |
| bazhang | bashca, what is that | 08:36 |
| doctorgonzo | i'd like to remove them all and get the default adobe one back on and set for my FF plugin. | 08:36 |
| bashca | bazhang, it's usb mdsl modem for net connection | 08:36 |
| zetheroo | anto9us: I always had Ubuntu Tweak installed ... but I went through it again and there was a Power Management section with CPU frequency options etc..... | 08:36 |
| bazhang | bashca, why did you want aircrack then | 08:36 |
| bashca | bazhang, how compiling the module please | 08:36 |
| anto9us | zetheroo, cool, I'll look at that on my other laptop, thanks | 08:36 |
| bashca | i just test it | 08:37 |
| bazhang | bashca, paste output of lspci to paste.ubuntu.com | 08:37 |
| doctorgonzo | if anyone is able to help me sort out some flash plugin' + audio problems, feel free to PM me. | 08:37 |
| SodaKiller | use synaptic package manager to remove other ones that did not work, and install adobes (it's listed in there), and thats all. then it worked. | 08:37 |
| starn | does anyone know how to make teamspeak work with PulseAudio? it normally uses [oss /dev/dsp] | 08:37 |
| bazhang | doctorgonzo, install from repos. | 08:37 |
| zetheroo | anto9us: and yes I just tested it now and on battery power my CPU stays at 1GHZ | 08:37 |
| doctorgonzo | SodaKiller: lol. it was like 2-3am.. i don't remember what they were all called. | 08:37 |
| doctorgonzo | i can try searching for 'gstream' or something and just start removing them. | 08:37 |
| bashca | bazhang, http://paste.ubuntu.com/26609/ | 08:38 |
| brrrrrradical | can anyone point me to a channel that can help with my problem? | 08:38 |
| bazhang | brrrrrradical, what happens when you click on the icon or try to remove it | 08:38 |
| brrrrrradical | ummm | 08:38 |
| doctorgonzo | brrrrrradical: what's your problem? | 08:38 |
| SodaKiller | not sure then doctorgozo, maybe the fellas can help more | 08:38 |
| bazhang | his ipod unsafely removed doctorgonzo | 08:38 |
| aesfuba1 | when i'm downloading a package from the synaptic manager where does it come from lol | 08:38 |
| rsk | aesfuba1: ubuntu mirrors | 08:38 |
| zetheroo | aesfuba1: online repos | 08:39 |
| bazhang | aesfuba1, the software repositories | 08:39 |
| SodaKiller | i have a question, , my /etc/X11/xorg.conf is empty but ubuntu loads fine. what can be causing this? | 08:39 |
| brrrrrradical | i can move it around the desktop... i can open it but theres nothing in the folder... and if i try to unmount i get "/sbin/umount.hal: /media/B_RAD'S POD is not recognized by hal" | 08:39 |
| doctorgonzo | i always hate the flash plugin. it's not fun to listen to only my left-speaker on youporn. i'd like it to work on my USB headset instead like every other app does --- won't bother my roomies that much ;-) | 08:39 |
| bazhang | !repos | aesfuba1 | 08:39 |
| ubottu | aesfuba1: The packages in Ubuntu are divided into several sections. More information at https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Repositories and http://www.ubuntu.com/ubuntu/components - See https://wiki.ubuntu.com/RecommendedSources for the recommended way to set up your repositories | 08:39 |
| aesfuba1 | whoa cool thanks | 08:39 |
| bazhang | doctorgonzo, keep it family-friendly thanks | 08:39 |
| Iggie | SodaKiller, empty? | 08:39 |
| anto9us | brrrrrradical, bit of a cliche but have you tried a reboot? | 08:40 |
| brrrrrradical | yer lol | 08:40 |
| brrrrrradical | twice | 08:40 |
| bazhang | brrrrrradical, who owns that icon | 08:40 |
| anto9us | brrrrrradical, does dmesg show anything interesting? | 08:40 |
| aesfuba1 | is there like a massive manual that i can download | 08:40 |
| bazhang | aesfuba1, for what | 08:41 |
| SodaKiller | yea Iggie _> i am trying to add a pen stylus device, but when i type "sudo nano /etc/X11/xorg.conf" it shows nothing. | 08:41 |
| aesfuba1 | for everything | 08:41 |
| SodaKiller | normally i can edit files easy no problem with nano | 08:41 |
| aesfuba1 | :P | 08:41 |
| brrrrrradical | define interesting ... | 08:41 |
| bazhang | aesfuba1, can you narrow it a bit | 08:41 |
| aesfuba1 | for ubuntu | 08:41 |
| orgthingy | what's so special about ubuntu? | 08:41 |
| orgthingy | i mean | 08:41 |
| anto9us | brrrrrradical, related to ipod | 08:41 |
| orgthingy | other dist. are so good | 08:41 |
| bazhang | aesfuba1, the ubuntuguide.org; the ubuntu wiki are a good place to start | 08:42 |
| orgthingy | i dont get whats so special about ubuntu | 08:42 |
| gwardone | woot woot. | 08:42 |
| aesfuba1 | ok | 08:42 |
| bazhang | orgthingy, seriously offtopic | 08:42 |
| orgthingy | and how it got one of the most popular Linux dist. | 08:42 |
| anto9us | brrrrrradical, unplug and plug in, then type dmesg | 08:42 |
| yao_ziyuan | it turns out that removing almost all my packages is a normal behavior because intrepid is a brand-new distro... | 08:42 |
| brrrrrradical | mk | 08:42 |
| orgthingy | oh? thats off-topic? | 08:42 |
| bazhang | orgthingy, yes. | 08:42 |
| doctorgonzo | other distros are so good, yes. | 08:43 |
| doctorgonzo | my alltime fav is gentoo | 08:43 |
| bazhang | !ot | 08:43 |
| ubottu | #ubuntu is the Ubuntu support channel, #ubuntu+1 supports the development version of Ubuntu and #ubuntu-offtopic is for random chatter. Welcome! | 08:43 |
| bazhang | take chit chat to offtopic channel | 08:43 |
| doctorgonzo | but i think ubuntu's livecd and idiot-proof installer + driver install works really well for nubs and ppl who don't want to mess with install. | 08:43 |
| brrrrrradical | two icons now... i can access the new icon but i cant play music from it ... music is "not playable" according to amarok | 08:43 |
| doctorgonzo | wait. how is talking about ubuntu Offtopic for #ubuntu? | 08:44 |
| SodaKiller | Iggie -> Alright i tried sudo gedit /etc/X11/xorg.conf and its empty! | 08:44 |
| brrrrrradical | rhythmbox recognises the songs but cant play em | 08:44 |
| doctorgonzo | isn't that like right ON TOPic with this chan? | 08:44 |
| SodaKiller | am i missing something here? | 08:44 |
| bazhang | doctorgonzo, there is a chat channel for that. | 08:44 |
| GibbaTheHutt | not if not support | 08:44 |
| doctorgonzo | oh, ok. i should join that one too :-) | 08:44 |
| Iggie | SodaKiller, i'd go to your /etc/X11/ folder in nautilus and check for a failsafe backup of xorg.conf that Ubuntu might be using | 08:44 |
| DJones | doctorgonzo: this is purely a support channel, whereas #ubuntu-ot is for chatting generally and for questions like that | 08:44 |
| nano_ | how can i search a man file while ignoring case?? | 08:44 |
| SodaKiller | Iggie - > will check hold on | 08:45 |
| doctorgonzo | oh. ok. sounds good. i was just making friendly with a troller. | 08:45 |
| anto9us | brrrrrradical, you have all your codecs installed? | 08:45 |
| doctorgonzo | sorry for feeding the trolls. | 08:45 |
| brrrrrradical | yes .. everything has been working good up to this point | 08:45 |
| starn | does anyone know how to make teamspeak work with PulseAudio? it normally uses [oss /dev/dsp] any other thing i have to do? | 08:46 |
| Iggie | starn, have you tried using WINE to install and use the Windows version of TS? | 08:46 |
| aruquon_ | hey everyone | 08:47 |
| anto9us | brrrrrradical, I suggest you keep trying in here till you find someone with experience of ipod, sorry I can't help, I don't own one | 08:47 |
| brrrrrradical | okie dokie | 08:47 |
| starn | hmm no.. i figured linux version would be more stable. | 08:47 |
| brrrrrradical | cheers | 08:47 |
| bashca | bazhang | 08:47 |
| aruquon_ | adept is trying to install java, but java is waiting for me to authorize a EULA, so it's just sitting there, but I can't actually do anything to click okay. is there anything i can do? | 08:48 |
| bazhang | brrrrrradical, who owns that icon that does not work, and have you remounted the ipod from within amarok again after fully quitting amarok (not set to panel) | 08:48 |
| Iggie | starn, pulseaudio is apparently pretty flaky with the native version | 08:48 |
| bazhang | aruquon_, tab to ok then hit enter | 08:48 |
| aruquon_ | bazhang, no, doesn't work | 08:48 |
| bazhang | aruquon_, open up details | 08:48 |
| aruquon_ | i did that | 08:49 |
| aruquon_ | otherwise i wouldn't realize why it's just sitting there | 08:49 |
| aruquon_ | hitting tab doesn't do anything | 08:49 |
| anto9us | starn, do you have any other audio application running? It may steal the audio device | 08:49 |
| bazhang | aruquon_, how do you know there is a eula then | 08:49 |
| starn | nope | 08:49 |
| aruquon_ | because it shows it when i hit 'show details' | 08:49 |
| aruquon_ | but it doesn't let me hit okay or tab to okay | 08:50 |
| bazhang | aruquon_, and there is no check box or okay | 08:50 |
| bashca | bazhang please | 08:50 |
| bazhang | bashca, wait | 08:50 |
| bashca | ok | 08:50 |
| aruquon_ | yes, there's a check box, but clicking it doesn't do anything | 08:50 |
| anto9us | starn, do you have padsp installed? | 08:50 |
| Iggie | aruquon_, try the space bar | 08:51 |
| aruquon_ | nothing | 08:51 |
| bazhang | bashca, paste output of ifconfig to paste.ubuntu.com | 08:51 |
| starn | anto9us, i dont even know what that is | 08:51 |
| bazhang | aruquon_, click then enter | 08:51 |
| starn | anto9us, i am pretty new to linux. | 08:51 |
| brrrrrradical | just so u know guys ... i rebooted and ran recovery mode and now the icon is gone | 08:51 |
| anto9us | starn, type sudo apt-get install pulseaudio-utils | 08:52 |
| aruquon_ | it's still nothing | 08:52 |
| bazhang | brrrrrradical, good; now remount ipod with amarok still quit | 08:52 |
| cdoublej | what the heck i closed out firefox and other programs and cpu usage whent up? | 08:52 |
| cdoublej | and is still up | 08:52 |
| brrrrrradical | it automatically mounted ^^ | 08:52 |
| akatsuki | hellos does anyone know if safari is working fine on ubuntu? and which version is the one that works better? | 08:52 |

| gluonman | If I've downloaded a .rar archive from the web but then couldn't extract the contents because of an error saying that it's a bad archive, is there a way to fix it and access the content? Or is it nothing but trash? | 08:52 |
| aruquon_ | can i quit adept in the middle of it trying to do this? | 08:52 |
| starn | anto9us, ok appearntly i allready have it. | 08:53 |
| aruquon_ | then i could install that specific package via the command line | 08:53 |
| bazhang | aruquon_, not the best option but yes | 08:53 |
| bazhang | aruquon_, what package are you installing | 08:53 |
| Sivam | hi | 08:53 |
| aruquon_ | it's trying to install sun-java6-bin | 08:53 |
| Sivam | is there any way to launch a login shell | 08:53 |
| Sivam | from bash | 08:53 |
| anto9us | gluonman, kb switch of unrar may keep any recoverable files | 08:53 |
| bazhang | aruquon_, part of ubuntu-restricted-extras? | 08:54 |
| aruquon_ | i don't remember | 08:54 |
| gluonman | anto9us, can you explain the procedure? | 08:54 |
| rabelais | akatsuki, safari does not run on linux, unless you run it through wine | 08:54 |
| SodaKiller | Iggie -> i couldn't find it, you think there's a way to get the config and readd it to xorg.conf? | 08:54 |
| bazhang | aruquon_, try from the command line and paste any errors when installing the package I mention above | 08:54 |
| anto9us | gluonman, type unrar --help, it explains all switches | 08:54 |
| gluonman | anto9us, alright. If I still need help I'll be back. | 08:55 |
| bazhang | bashca, you are connected via modem now? that is the ppp entry? | 08:55 |
| brrrrrradical | yer guys amarok works too ... its all good | 08:55 |
| aruquon_ | bazhang, you mentioned a package above? | 08:55 |
| bashca | yes | 08:55 |
| bazhang | brrrrrradical, ipod safely removed and working now? | 08:55 |
| bashca | bazhang, yes | 08:55 |
| brrrrrradical | yep | 08:55 |
| aruquon_ | adept is frozen, so i guess i have to kill it? | 08:55 |
| Iggie | SodaKiller, dunno | 08:55 |
| SodaKiller | Iggie- > all i have when i type locate xorg.conf , is the /etc/X11/xorg.conf and /usr/share/displayconfig-gtk/xorg.conf.fallback | 08:55 |
| bazhang | ubuntu-restricted-extras from command line aruquon_ | 08:55 |
| brrrrrradical | umm is there a channel for games problems or should i ask here? | 08:56 |
| bazhang | brrrrrradical, which games | 08:56 |
| bazhang | brrrrrradical, via wine or native linux | 08:56 |
| brrrrrradical | alien arena ... urban terror | 08:56 |
| brrrrrradical | native | 08:56 |
| aruquon_ | after i kill adept, what do i need to do to fix the package management system so that it will work again? | 08:56 |
| bazhang | here brrrrrradical | 08:56 |
| bazhang | aruquon_, first try via command line and see if it errors out | 08:57 |
| akatsuki | rabelais which safari version is working fine using wine/ | 08:57 |
| akatsuki | ? | 08:57 |
| akatsuki | you dont know? | 08:57 |
| Iggie | SodaKiller, then delete xorg.conf, make a copy of the fallback file, and rename the copy to "xorg.conf" | 08:57 |
| bazhang | akatsuki, check appdb | 08:57 |
| akatsuki | where is that | 08:57 |
| bazhang | !appdb | akatsuki | 08:57 |
| ubottu | akatsuki: The Wine Application DB is a database of applications and help for !Windows programs that run under !WINE: http://appdb.winehq.org | 08:57 |
| gluonman | anto9us, is the syntax unrar --kb <filename.rar>? | 08:57 |
| brrrrrradical | kewl ... now sometimes (especially in urban terror) when i am playing fullscreen suddenly the game will go windowed and i cant move the mouse at all ... i can use the keyboard though, so i usually ctrl-alt-backspace | 08:58 |
| aruquon_ | E: Could not get lock /var/lib/dpkg/lock - open (11 Resource temporarily unavailable) | 08:58 |
| aruquon_ | E: Unable to lock the administration directory (/var/lib/dpkg/), is another process using it? | 08:58 |
| anto9us | starn, type man padsp and see if you can make sense of it | 08:58 |
| aruquon_ | now i'm going to try killing adept | 08:58 |
| bazhang | brrrrrradical, this is with compiz or not | 08:58 |
| anto9us | gluonman, looks correct to me, yes | 08:58 |
| brrrrrradical | yer with compiz | 08:58 |
| bazhang | brrrrrradical, try without | 08:58 |
| nano_ | whati is the "ssb" module? | 08:58 |
| gluonman | anto9us, because that didn't really do anything but give me the same output as unrar --help | 08:58 |
| anto9us | gluonman, syntax was wrong then | 08:59 |
| brrrrrradical | okie dokie ... it only happens once in a while but if it does it again i will let u guys know ... thanks | 08:59 |
| bazhang | np | 08:59 |
| gluonman | anto9us, 'twas my guess. | 08:59 |
| anto9us | gluonman, unrar e -kb <filename.rar> | 08:59 |
| khin | can anyone figure out how the following situation can occur | 08:59 |
| khin | http://paste.ubuntu.com/26611/ | 08:59 |
| gluonman | anto9us, I'll try that. Thank you. | 08:59 |
| bazhang | khin, this the usb stick still? | 09:00 |
| khin | bazhang yes | 09:00 |
| aruquon_ | okay got the same error | 09:00 |
| aruquon_ | how do i manually remove the lock? | 09:00 |
| bazhang | khin, what about emptying the trash per rizkhan | 09:00 |
| aruquon_ | and check the database for integrity or whatever else is needed? | 09:00 |
| Tipolosko | hi :) | 09:00 |
| bazhang | aruquon_, you killed adept? | 09:00 |
| aruquon_ | yes | 09:00 |
| bazhang | !aptfix | 09:00 |
| ubottu | If an APT front-end crashed and your database is locked, try this in a !terminal: « sudo fuser -vki /var/lib/dpkg/lock;sudo dpkg --configure -a » | 09:00 |

| chazco | Hi... anyone know if there is a way to make Ubuntu only install the updates it really needs? Its consuming far too much data running it on two systems... each gets ~5-60MB a time :( | 09:02 |
| bashca | bazhang, am waiting.... | 09:02 |
| Slart | chazco: uninstall the stuff you don't want updated.. | 09:02 |
| bazhang | bashca, the system does not see your wifi card; and you cannot find the intel driver for it? is that pretty much the situation? | 09:02 |
| starn | anto9us, Sweet it Works! | 09:03 |
| Slart | chazco: you can also set it to only install security updates | 09:03 |
| Tipolosko | bazhang: sorry, bazhang.. no problem with my ubuntu systems so far :) do you know a channel for ubuntu general chatting? | 09:03 |
| bashca | bazhang, how can resolve it please | 09:03 |
| aruquon | okay i installed java from the command line, and adept worked to install the rest | 09:03 |
| aruquon | thanks bazhang | 09:03 |

| Zeeon | Hey, I know this is not a direct ubuntu problem, but i hope you can help anyways I'm trying to run america's army but the resolution seems not to be supported by my monitor how do i make the game run in a window? or if someone have experience with the game how do i change res. before entering the game? | 09:03 |
| chazco | Slart - Security updates would do it... cant uninstall everything though :D | 09:03 |
| bazhang | bashca, that is the situation, correct? | 09:03 |
| Tipolosko | bazhang: thanks for your help! :) | 09:03 |
| bazhang | np | 09:03 |
| bashca | yes | 09:04 |

| chazco | Slart - I use them... | 09:04 |
| gluonman | anto9us, didn't work. Still said it was a bad archive. So am I to assume it's trash? Or might there be another way to recover the contents? | 09:04 |
| Zeeon | Shak-: I don't know but i can find out... | 09:05 |
| Wobbo | Should install the /boot folder on a none raid part of one of the hd's? | 09:05 |
| GibbaTheHutt | off the ut2k4 engine i think | 09:05 |
| anto9us | gluonman, doubt it, sorry | 09:05 |
| Iggie | Zeeon, according to the WINE application database, that game does not run well at all, sorry | 09:05 |
| gluonman | anto9us, thanks for your help. | 09:05 |
| bazhang | bashca, and you checked synaptic and there is nothing there? what was the command used to remove those drivers btw (full command please, not just remove-old) | 09:05 |
| GibbaTheHutt | AA has native linux (if you dont mind it not being latest release) | 09:05 |

| KeithWeisshar | why am i getting no sound in the chromium game from the usb headphone | 09:06 |
| KeithWeisshar | i only get the sound from the onboard speakers | 09:06 |
| Zeeon | Shak-: yes that what i got as well | 09:06 |
| Iggie | oh | 09:06 |
| KeithWeisshar | from the onboard sound card | 09:06 |

| bazhang | \3TATUK, not here | 09:07 |
| KeithWeisshar | when i boot ubuntu i get sound from the usb headphone but the sound for the chromium game only comes from the onboard sound, why | 09:07 |
| anto9us | Wobbo, I always do it that way, allow a decent size for it, about +200 meg or so as it can get a bit cramped with multiple kernels and modules sometimes | 09:07 |
| bashca | bazhang, http://paste.ubuntu.com/26612/ | 09:07 |
| Shak- | Zeeon: I don't have the game on me, but did you try looking for config files where you installed the game? there might be a resolution parameter somewhere there | 09:07 |
| KeithWeisshar | why do i only get sound from speakers in chromium | 09:07 |
| KeithWeisshar | my headphone is a usb version | 09:07 |
| bazhang | bashca, look for that package in synaptic | 09:08 |
| bashca | bazhang, idid but it's not there | 09:08 |
| bazhang | KeithWeisshar, what is chromium | 09:08 |
| Zeeon | Shak-: yes i tried found one called defuser.ini who had som res like settings but im not sure what to change and the settings i found seemed to be 800x600 and surely my monitor supports that :) | 09:08 |
| KeithWeisshar | it's a shooter game that came with ubuntu | 09:08 |
| KeithWeisshar | it's in the ubuntu repositories | 09:09 |
| bazhang | KeithWeisshar, native or via wine | 09:09 |
| KeithWeisshar | native | 09:09 |
| anto9us | Wobbo, it has to load the kernel before it can do any RAID stuff so the kernel would have to be outside the RAID itself | 09:09 |
| bazhang | KeithWeisshar, you have two sound cards? | 09:09 |
| Wobbo | anto9us: you mean installing a separate /boot folder | 09:09 |
| anto9us | Wobbo, yes | 09:09 |

| wols | so installing is hard. for some reason or other that user doesn't want to use AHCI | 09:24 |
| anto9us | snarkste1, and I don't think you need the .tiff part inside the loop | 09:24 |
| Guest69750 | can any1 help me connect thru kvpnc to windows server thru inet ? | 09:25 |
| anto9us | wols, I think that's the latest kernel | 09:25 |
| gordonjcp | winmodems eh? | 09:25 |
| snarkste1 | hmm i keep getting a > instead of any activity | 09:25 |
| gordonjcp | does anyone even still provide dialup? | 09:25 |
| wols | I know. the question now is: how to install ubuntu on a p45 mobo? is there any solution yet? mobos are out in the streets | 09:26 |
| gordonjcp | snarkste1: sounds like you've got a missing quote | 09:26 |
| huiii | hello | 09:26 |
| anto9us | wols, only way is to compile your own kernel with support I guess | 09:26 |
| wols | anto9us: that doesn't really help at install time... | 09:26 |
| genii | gordonjcp: Surprisingly a lot of people still use dialup. But modems are also useful to have working if you like to fax | 09:26 |
| huiii | i am logged in as ROOT and i want to see who logged in as USER, how do i do that?? | 09:27 |
| snarkste1 | hmm yah somehting isnt right | 09:27 |
| anto9us | wols, install on another system then connect the hard drive to that mobo, may work | 09:27 |
| genii | huiii: w or who command | 09:27 |
| bazhang | huiii, why are you logged in as root | 09:27 |
| Iggie | logging in as root is danger, will robinson | 09:27 |
| gordonjcp | genii: yeah, I just did a bit of googling | 09:27 |
| * snarkste1 says Danger Will Robinson Danger!!! | 09:27 | |
| huiii | genii: thx | 09:27 |
| bashca | bazhang, ?? | 09:28 |
| gordonjcp | genii: looks like several ISPs here will offer dialup, but it's expensive | 09:28 |
| anto9us | snarkste1, it's expecting another parameter from somewhere | 09:28 |
| gordonjcp | genii: probably rarity value | 09:28 |
| genii | gordonjcp: Heh, maybe. | 09:28 |
| snarkste1 | yup | 09:28 |
| snarkste1 | just not sure | 09:28 |
| huiii | bazhang: i am writing a bash script that will be executed from acpi-hotkey-event, that is root-level but want to apply the execution on the logged USER-level | 09:28 |
| bazhang | bashca, /join #aircrack | 09:28 |
| Whokai | hey willys | 09:29 |
| gordonjcp | genii: costs extra because they need to hire a steam boiler inspector to bring their dusty old portslave back up | 09:29 |
| SodaKiller | wwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwww | 09:29 |
| SodaKiller | whops sorry | 09:29 |
| genii | gordonjcp: The ISP I volunteer admin at has about 3000 dialup users and only about 200 high-speed users | 09:29 |
| bashca | thanks | 09:29 |
| gordonjcp | genii: interesting, where's that? | 09:29 |
| genii | gordonjcp: I'll pm it to you | 09:29 |
| snarkste1 | wow people still living under rocks | 09:29 |
| rockstrongo | Dial up still the only option for some urban areas | 09:30 |
| rockstrongo | Mostly because of the old wiring | 09:30 |
| huiii | genii: is there an other way, so that i just get USERNAME? | 09:31 |
| ondrej | hi, I found some old machine with edgy and I need to do upgrade... but edgy is no longer in archives, so where to get update-manager-core ? | 09:32 |

| bazhang | bashca, need to be patient there. | 09:34 |
| sn9 | msian_tux_lover: there have been a couple hundred -- are you sure you want to read all that? | 09:35 |
| bashca | ok | 09:35 |
| GibbaTheHutt | bashca, whats the problem, think I missed it | 09:36 |
| msian_tux_lover | sn9, need to know what have I been updating and why.....I always just apt-get upgrade and dun bother to see why | 09:36 |
| Mr_Bad_News | can anyone tell me how i get mozilla-mplayer to buffer the whole video before it plays and make it so i can save it to my harddrive | 09:36 |
| msian_tux_lover | and also I am involved in doing some desktop migration to Ubuntu for some local Govt thingy | 09:36 |
| sn9 | msian_tux_lover: you can read the changes in the update manager as you download -- just click the triangle | 09:37 |
| msian_tux_lover | sn9, I need to know what did I update and what bugs it squashed | 09:37 |
| particle_man | anyone else having this problem? Rosegarden only plays sound if jack is topped | 09:37 |
| Mr_Bad_News | anyone | 09:37 |
| sn9 | Mr_Bad_News: it has a config file somewhere | 09:37 |
| KeithWeisshar | which vendor is better, frozentech, on-disk, or osdisc? | 09:37 |
| Mr_Bad_News | im trying to watch this movie and it wont work | 09:38 |
| Mr_Bad_News | you can right click sn9 | 09:38 |
| === fdfdfd is now known as Patata | ||
| Mr_Bad_News | it only buffers 19% and stops | 09:38 |
| Mr_Bad_News | it wont let me save it to my hard drive | 09:38 |
| === Patata is now known as Xintor | ||
| bashca | GibbaTheHutt, i tried to inject my ipw with patch injection and i follow the steps by removing the old 1 and the new 1 failed how can reinstall the old 1 | 09:38 |
| Mr_Bad_News | or pause or fast forward | 09:38 |
| anto9us | msian_tux_lover, you can see your updates sudo cat /var/log/apt/term.log but it won't tell you why | 09:39 |
| rockstrongo | have you used the Medibuntu repositories | 09:39 |
| sn9 | Mr_Bad_News: copy the url and wget it | 09:39 |
| Zeeon | is there a command option for running an application in a window if its normally run in full screen like quake -w | 09:39 |
| Mr_Bad_News | i dont want to do that | 09:39 |
| Mr_Bad_News | i want mozilla-mplayer to buffer and save it | 09:39 |
| LSD|Ninja | How do I confirm what compix window decorator I'm using? | 09:39 |
| icewaterman | grrml, i hate smart bios programmers. because some "smart" developer thought that resuming from suspend-to-disk can only be achieved from the first harddisk, i cannot resume from s2disk via usb-stick... | 09:40 |
| anto9us | Zeeon, depends on the application, typing <application> --help usually gives a clue | 09:40 |
| GibbaTheHutt | bashca, not sure, but it may help if you specify specifically what you did, the error, and then what you want to revert to | 09:40 |

| Mr_Bad_News | ikonia, how do i make it so it will buffer the whole video and let me save it to hard drive | 09:41 |
| ikonia | Mr_Bad_News: I don't know if you can save it to the hard disk, normally you right click on a link and do "save as" | 09:41 |
| neil_d | anyone know how to get a Intel AC'97 modem controller to go ? | 09:41 |

| Hailsematary | it's kde-based | 10:04 |
| ikonia | shady: no, I'm looking at the logs, unbuni told you not to do it | 10:04 |
| jeeves__ | ikonia, is what I want to do simple? I don't want to kill my M$ partition, I just need some more space on this linux root | 10:04 |
| msian_tux_lover | sorry to be a bug, again, may I know where can I refer to the list updates issued so far for 8.04? | 10:04 |
| jeeves__ | sn9, naaa, I like outlook's "unread" feature. that way, everything is sorted, and I don't spend 20 minutes moving crap around | 10:04 |
| Hailsematary | I want to install ubuntu and have a seperate partition | 10:05 |
| shady | ikonia, i must have missed that part...i forget his name but there was another that gave me that link and suggested that | 10:05 |
| ikonia | jeeves__: (you can call it MS - you don't have to slate microsoft to be cool) | 10:05 |
| geom | Hailsematary, edit your /etc/fstab to point to /home then | 10:05 |
| sn9 | jeeves__: oh, you can sort by unread-status | 10:05 |
| === Squawk_ is now known as Squawk | ||

| ikonia | shady: I've just read the link, people told you not to do it, you where given that link because you inisited thats what you wanted to do | 10:05 |
| ikonia | shady: thats what the logs show | 10:05 |
| Hailsematary | my point is about the .vlc etc files | 10:05 |
| Hailsematary | I mean program configs | 10:05 |
| jeeves__ | sn9, I have them throughout differen't folders, so I didn't know if it'd be easy to have a pre-defined search that only shows unread ones | 10:06 |
| ikonia | jeeves__: gparted will resize it, very simple, but again, there is a risk | 10:06 |
| geom | Hailsematary, You dont even need /home to install ubuntu or any other distro for that matter | 10:06 |
| sn9 | jeeves__: view, current view, define views, new | 10:06 |
| shady | ikonia:interpretation is in the eye i guess.. | 10:06 |
| geom | aslong as you have / | 10:06 |
| jeeves__ | ikonia, I'm just too lazy to type ou microsoft, and I think that M$ shows their true intent | 10:06 |
| ikonia | shady: no - it's quite clear, you where told not to do it | 10:06 |
| Hailsematary | geom: yes I know the system is going to be installed on / but I have .mozilla, .thunderbird folders at my seperate home partition | 10:07 |
| ikonia | jeeves__: M$ is not cool, and a bit childish to be honest | 10:07 |
| Iggie | msian_tux_lover, are you looking for someting like http://www.ubuntu.com/usn? | 10:07 |
| Hailsematary | I mean do they malfunction when I carry my home? | 10:07 |

| jeeves__ | ikonia, ok, once gparted is launched, how do I go about resizing it? | 10:07 |
| ikonia | !gparted | jeeves__ | 10:07 |
| ubottu | jeeves__: gparted is a !GUI partitioning program. Type « sudo apt-get install gparted » in a console to install it - A GParted "live" CD is available at http://gparted.sourceforge.net/livecd.php | 10:07 |
| shady | ikonia: well im sorry but i must have misunderstood, what I got what that this is what I was told to try, and I dont need to be reminded again of what the logs say | 10:07 |
| msian_tux_lover | Iggie, seems like it, thanks a lot | 10:08 |
| Iggie | np | 10:08 |
| ikonia | shady: then don't try to pretend someone told you to do it, people advised you clearly not to do it, you said you still wanted to so was given the link, but don't blame "someone told me to do it" for your insistance to do it | 10:08 |
| sn9 | jeeves__: you can define a folder sorting style with view->current view->define views->new | 10:09 |
| jeeves__ | sn9, thanks. is there a way to just add this to the seach field @ the bottom? | 10:09 |
| Xor | Hello, I'm trying out the new (svn) NetworkManager applet, i made an adsl connection, but it's asking for the password each time I connect, I don't see a "save password" feature, any idea? | 10:10 |
| sn9 | jeeves__: search field? | 10:10 |
| ikonia | Xor: contact the maintainer, ubuntu does not maintina newtowk manager | 10:10 |
| shady | ikonia:sigh omg im not "pretending" anything, this is my memory and understanding. And you have the all knowing logs. I came seeking help not outright beratement | 10:10 |
| Xor | ikonia, I understand that, I just thought maybe someone here knows a solution :) | 10:10 |
| jeeves__ | sn9, in outlook, there is a feature to just click on that will show only the unread without a bunch of hoops to jump through | 10:10 |
| powertool08 | for a ln -s is it ln -s /path/to/exec /usr/bin or ln -s /usr/bin /path/to/exec? | 10:11 |
| Luci | Hi there, I was wondering if there is any way to get my Eyetoy working in Ubuntu 8.04? | 10:11 |
| ikonia | shady: I'm not berating you, but making statments like "someone told me to do it" is not fair on the multiple people that advised you not to do it, | 10:11 |
| sn9 | jeeves__: if you have a view already defined that sorts by unread-status, just choose it | 10:11 |
| ikonia | shady: the advice to fix it is - your out of luck I'm afriad, your using the wrong hardware technology, the wrong disk layout, and you've used a tool to resize that can't actually do resizes | 10:11 |
| backslash7 | How can I copy /home/backslash/test.txt to /home/backslash/new/text.txt without having to type the filename again? | 10:11 |

| ikonia | cp /home/backslash/test.txt /home/backslash/new/ | 10:12 |
| Iggie | Luci, behold the might of Google: http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=272328 | 10:12 |
| ikonia | jeeves__: the risk is small, so don't fret too much, but it's unfair to not say "there is a risk" | 10:12 |
| sn9 | jeeves__: don't use gparted until you turn off swap | 10:13 |
| Luci | Oh merciful Iggie, thank you ever so much! | 10:13 |
| backslash7 | got it | 10:13 |
| Iggie | Luci: Well, the information may be outdated, so don't thank me yet :) | 10:13 |
| sn9 | Xor: it will save in your keyring automagically | 10:13 |
| shady | ikonia: ok then, i feared this may be my only option anyway, so, can you advise me of the best way to start clean? should i use the 2 drives seperately for each OS? or partition them both and put the OS's on one drive and use the other drive for their respective storage areas? | 10:13 |
| Luci | Iggie: HTTP request sent, awaiting response... 404 Not Found 10:13:48 ERROR 404: Not Found. | 10:14 |
| jeeves__ | ikonia, I have my windows partition @ the start of the disk, followed by my swap, then my root. How can I move the chunk of space that I just sliced off of the window parition? The swap is in the way? Can I just expand the swap over the new 2Gb partition I made, then resize the swap to move the 2Gb to the end, and then reabsorbe the 2Gb into my root? | 10:14 |
| Xor | sn9, a small window is popping up each time i connect, asking for the password | 10:14 |
| Luci | Iggie: I guess you can read the future :( | 10:14 |
| jeeves__ | sn9, how do I turn off the swap? | 10:14 |
| akatsuki | hello | 10:14 |
| ikonia | shady: my first tip - don't use fakeraid, use the 2 disks seperatly as you don't have a real raid card, and your not using one OS so can't use software raid | 10:14 |
| Slart | shady: why are you using raid in the first place? | 10:14 |
| befr0d | swapoff /dev/<swapdevice> | 10:14 |
| ikonia | shady: second tip - put windows on your first drive and install windows first | 10:14 |
| sn9 | Xor: system -> prefs -> encryption and keyrings | 10:15 |
| akatsuki | does xubuntu 8.04 its exactly the same thing as ubuntu 8.04 but using xfce? | 10:15 |
| sn9 | jeeves__: sudo swapoff -a | 10:15 |
| ikonia | shady: keep it as simple as possible | 10:15 |
| sn9 | jeeves__: type that when booted from cd | 10:15 |
| jeeves__ | befr0d, ok, I thought I needed a swap space. and will it turn it back on (or does it move it to the new space I make later?) | 10:15 |
| akatsuki | if is that then... i can make ubuntu a xubuntu just installing xfce? | 10:15 |
| shady | slart: this was an XP only system put in Raid 0 to begin with | 10:15 |
| akatsuki | or whats the difference? | 10:15 |
| jeeves__ | sn9, can I do this without booting from a CD? | 10:15 |
| Slart | akatsuki: almost =) the difference is very small.. some tools differ between them.. ubuntu uses gedit for example.. xubuntu uses mousepad (another text editor) | 10:15 |

| jeeves__ | can someone kill sheri please? | 10:16 |
| Slart | shady: well.. I would go with separate disks then.. raid 0 with fakeraid won't give you any speed increase anyways.. might as well not do it | 10:16 |
| Xor | sn9, What to do there ? bear with me, the password im being asked to put is my adsl connection password | 10:16 |

| Slart | shady: I did the same thing with a computer of mine many years ago.. raid 0 with on board raid.. then the motherboard died... I've still got the drives in a box.. when I become a millionaire I'll send them to norway to get my files back =) | 10:20 |

| Luci | jeeves__: Indeed, if you have one | 10:21 |
| simon_ | when i run apt-get update it comes up with errors | 10:21 |
| Slart | shady: if you want to save yourself some trouble you could create a smaller partition on the xp-drive for your documents and personal files.. that way it's easier to reinstall xp without backing stuff up | 10:21 |

| sn9 | CoolFox: for gnome, there is alacarte | 10:43 |
| Delano | Slart: weird... so what did I do wrong? | 10:43 |
| ikonia | UbuntuNooB: depends how you want to block it | 10:43 |
| ikonia | gabunga: ok - have you configured the ssl parameters ? | 10:43 |
| Slart | Delano: you did the sudo apt-get install xmms2 ? | 10:43 |
| gabunga | where to configure | 10:43 |
| gabunga | it´s my firs time | 10:43 |
| CoolFox | alacart?? | 10:43 |

| UbuntuNooB | ikonia: for example i want to block http://www.friendster.com, what do i need to do? | 10:44 |
| wols | brrrrrradical: I asked you to do something | 10:44 |
| CoolFox | brrrrrradical, even this IRC client? | 10:44 |
| CoolFox | can you open another session of the client? | 10:44 |
| Delano | Slart: it tells me it's already installed | 10:44 |
| brrrrrradical | i did it wols | 10:44 |
| brrrrrradical | and i pmed u | 10:44 |
| Blagoicho | hello | 10:45 |
| Slart | Delano: try using the --reinstall switch | 10:45 |
| wols | no you did not. you only did half | 10:45 |
| jisatsu | can I run a script and not have it exit when I logout? | 10:45 |
| wols | brrrrrradical: and PMing was your 2nd mistake | 10:45 |
| ikonia | gabunga: /etc/apache2/mods-available/ssl.conf | 10:45 |
| wols | jisatsu: screen or nohup | 10:45 |
| brrrrrradical | 2nd mistake? | 10:45 |
| brrrrrradical | what was my first | 10:45 |
| gabunga | ahh ok let me check :-) | 10:45 |
| jisatsu | wols: thanks, I'll look into it | 10:45 |
| wols | brrrrrradical: first was not doing what I asked you | 10:45 |
| ikonia | UbuntuNooB: put www.friendstart.com in your /etc/host file and map it to 127.0.0.1 | 10:45 |
| nagyv | hello! could someone tell me what a "system user" is in adduser --system? I coldn't find any docs on it. | 10:45 |
| gabunga | thanks for first | 10:45 |
| Delano | "invalid operation", Slart | 10:45 |
| wols | nagyv: one that is in /etc/passwd and that logs in usually | 10:45 |
| brrrrrradical | i did what u asked | 10:45 |
| brrrrrradical | i sent the link | 10:46 |
| Slart | Delano: sudo apt-get install --reinstall xmms2 | 10:46 |
| UbuntuNooB | ikonia: i c.. i'll test it.. brb | 10:46 |
| brrrrrradical | and u didnt answer | 10:46 |
| brrrrrradical | please dont get snappy | 10:46 |
| nagyv | wols: that would be a normal user, isn't it? | 10:46 |
| wols | brrrrrradical: stop that and reread waht I asked. ALL of it. until then: please stop talking to me or I have to ignore you | 10:46 |
| kidbuntu | why do i get syntax error near unexpected token 'newline' when typing this ssh-copy-id -i ~/.ssh/iphone_identity.pub root@<device ip> | 10:46 |
| sn9 | ikonia: there's gotta be an easier way | 10:46 |
| wols | nagyv: yes | 10:46 |
| UbuntuNooB | ikonia: one more thing, how do i do that? :) | 10:46 |
| ikonia | sn9: easier than what ? | 10:46 |
| ikonia | UbuntuNooB: open /etc/hosts with a text editor | 10:46 |
| sn9 | ikonia: than /etc/hosts | 10:46 |
| wols | sn9: no. it's about the easiest way possible | 10:47 |
| wols | sn9: and pretty effective | 10:47 |
| ikonia | sn9: you can install iptables, proxy software, but 1 line in 1 file is pretty much the easiest thing to do | 10:47 |
| brrrrrradical | http://paste.ubuntu.com/26621/ | 10:47 |
| sn9 | wols: ick -- kubuntu does it all graphically | 10:47 |
| kidbuntu | why do i get syntax error near unexpected token 'newline' when typing this ssh-copy-id -i ~/.ssh/iphone_identity.pub root@<device ip> | 10:47 |
| UbuntuNooB | ikonia: k its open. next? | 10:47 |
| nagyv | wols: but that's strange, as by default --system won't add a group, he won't get a group and its shell will be /bin/false. Is it really the normal user? | 10:47 |
| ikonia | UbuntuNooB: put in the entry for your website and then point it at 127.0.0.1 | 10:47 |
| Blagoicho | hello | 10:47 |
| brrrrrradical | is this what u wanted wols ? http://paste.ubuntu.com/26621/ | 10:48 |
| wols | nagyv: then it's a user which does system work. like daemons. daemons sometimes run udner a certain user but have no login shell | 10:48 |
| Blagoicho | #sx | 10:48 |
| nagyv | wols: thanks | 10:48 |
| cher | hi | 10:48 |
| wols | brrrrrradical: it's half of what I wanted. one more time addressing me and it's /ignore | 10:48 |

| gluonman | I can't get flash to work with Mozilla firefox. | 10:51 |
| sn9 | gluonman: what does it do instead of working? | 10:52 |
| gluonman | sn9, umm... not work | 10:52 |
| Slart | !doesntwork | 10:52 |
| ubottu | 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. | 10:52 |
| gluonman | sn9, I can't watch youtube videos, for instance. | 10:52 |
| shady | ikonia: one more question for ya | 10:53 |
| UbuntuNooB | ikonia: i can still access friendster? look at this http://paste.ubuntu.com/26631/ | 10:53 |
| brrrrrradical | hmmmm | 10:53 |
| ikonia | shady: shoot | 10:53 |
| ikonia | UbuntuNooB: you still need www | 10:53 |
| === macsim is now known as macsim`work | ||
| backslash7 | I'm trying to access a usb stick using a 3rd party program | 10:53 |
| === macsim`work is now known as macsim | ||
| ikonia | backslash7: which program | 10:53 |
| backslash7 | but it always says "CANNOT OPEN" | 10:53 |
| Slart | UbuntuNooB: try typing just friendster.com in firefox | 10:53 |
| shady | ikonia: i am in my bios now now and changing my SATA settings from RAID...should i change it to IDE or AHCI? | 10:53 |
| brrrrrradical | wols ls -l shows this: http://paste.ubuntu.com/26621/ ... running it shows this: http://paste.ubuntu.com/26629/ | 10:53 |

| backslash7 | ikonia: GRUB4DOS | 10:54 |
| shady | ikonia: ty | 10:54 |
| sn9 | gluonman: did you close all firefox windows after installing flash? | 10:54 |
| backslash7 | Also fdisk /dev/sdd says CANNOT OPEN | 10:54 |
| wols | brrrrrradical: is this urban terror an installer file? | 10:54 |
| ikonia | backslash7: what device file are you using | 10:54 |
| wols | backslash7: sudo? | 10:54 |
| backslash7 | ikonia: /dev/sdd | 10:54 |
| brrrrrradical | umm can i pm u wols? | 10:54 |
| backslash7 | yes | 10:54 |
| ikonia | backslash7: and is /dev/sdd there ? | 10:54 |
| gluonman | sn9, yes. I downloaded the tar.gz file from adobe's website and extracted the installer and then ran it in terminal and then opened firefox and youtube still doesn't display videos. | 10:54 |
| wols | ikonia: ahci is better btw | 10:55 |
| UbuntuNooB | Slart: i can still access friendster.com | 10:55 |
| backslash7 | ikonia: It was mounted before, I unmounted it and now it says cannot open | 10:55 |
| backslash7 | I can even mount it again | 10:55 |
| sn9 | gluonman: don't go to adobe's website | 10:55 |
| backslash7 | fdisk says the same | 10:55 |
| gluonman | sn9, I've been through this process before. As soon as I upgraded to 8.04 it seems my old flash stopped working. | 10:55 |
| ikonia | backslash7: unplug it and plug it back in | 10:55 |
| gluonman | sn9, what should I do alternatively? | 10:55 |
| arvind_khadri | hi,after adding a default gateway ,the entry isnt permanent,changes after a reboot ,how to make it permanent | 10:55 |
| Slart | UbuntuNooB: hmm.. that's odd | 10:55 |
| backslash7 | ikonia: and unmount after plugging in again ? | 10:55 |
| ikonia | backslash7: or to be blunt - just use grub | 10:55 |
| brrrrrradical | urban terror is not an installer file | 10:55 |
| ikonia | backslash7: why do you want to unmount it ? | 10:56 |
| brrrrrradical | it runs the actual game | 10:56 |
| sn9 | gluonman: just install the package flashplugin-nonfree | 10:56 |
| backslash7 | ikonia: I thought i cannot modify a mounted device | 10:56 |
| backslash7 | Just for safety | 10:56 |
| gluonman | sn9, I did. | 10:56 |
| gluonman | sn9, not quite working. | 10:56 |
| ikonia | backslash7: depends if your just writing to the boot sector | 10:56 |
| Slart | UbuntuNooB: let me try it here on my machine.. | 10:56 |
| backslash7 | ikonia: So it can be mounted and I can do stuff with it? | 10:56 |
| ikonia | backslash7: depends on what stuff | 10:56 |
| backslash7 | ikonia: Yes to the MBR | 10:56 |
| backslash7 | That's why | 10:56 |
| sn9 | gluonman: did you do "about:plugins" ? | 10:56 |
| ikonia | backslash7: your not acessing the file system - so the device file should still be usable | 10:56 |
| backslash7 | okay | 10:57 |
| backslash7 | Ill try | 10:57 |
| sgt_keroro | UbuntuNooB: Check how you computer perform name lookup. | 10:57 |
| gluonman | sn9, I'm not familiar with that. | 10:57 |
| ikonia | backslash7: but then I don't see why your making it hard on your self, or obviously in linux if your using /dev/sdd - so why not just use grub | 10:57 |
| sn9 | gluonman: in firefox's url bar | 10:57 |
| brrrrrradical | wols: urban terror is not an installer, it simply runs the game | 10:57 |
| animatedgif | anyone know of a good program that will allow me to view animated .gifs? | 10:57 |
| gluonman | sn9, let me check that out. | 10:57 |
| Slart | UbuntuNooB: it works here.. no typos? | 10:57 |
| sn9 | animatedgif: firefox | 10:57 |
| animatedgif | and generally a good image viewer ? | 10:57 |
| animatedgif | sn9: uh hunh. | 10:58 |
| sgt_keroro | it first lookup to your dns server, than change entry at your host name will not affect anything. | 10:58 |
| Slart | UbuntuNooB: you remember to save the file and so on? | 10:58 |
| backslash7 | ikonia: I replugged it and the program is still saying "Error: Cannot open file for read/write access." (/dev/sdc now it's mounted there) | 10:58 |
| banisterfiend | waht's a good IDE for ubuntu that supports ruby and erlang?? | 10:58 |
| kidbuntu | how do i check my ip address of my iphone | 10:58 |
| ikonia | backslash7: maybe an issue with grub4dos, why are you not using grub ? | 10:58 |
| ikonia | kidbuntu: look in the iphone settings | 10:58 |
| backslash7 | ikonia: It's for a usb stick | 10:58 |
| ikonia | backslash7: so ? | 10:58 |
| backslash7 | I need grub4dos don't worrk im sure | 10:58 |
| sn9 | banisterfiend: maybe eclispse, maybe anjuta | 10:59 |
| backslash7 | worry* | 10:59 |
| kidbuntu | ikonia: can you direct me. i'm a complete noob | 10:59 |
| ikonia | backslash7: nah, you can install grub onto a usb stick | 10:59 |
| backslash7 | yes | 10:59 |
| banisterfiend | is linuxmint better than ubuntu? | 10:59 |
| ikonia | kidbuntu: open your iphone manual | 10:59 |
| backslash7 | but I need the grub4do | 10:59 |
| backslash7 | d | 10:59 |
| backslash7 | s | 10:59 |
| ikonia | backslash7: why ? | 10:59 |
| Slart | UbuntuNooB: oh.. and you might want to press ctrl+refresh if you have the site open.. | 10:59 |
| backslash7 | I just do ^^ | 10:59 |
| ikonia | banisterfiend: matter of opinion, try it | 10:59 |
| ikonia | backslash7: why though ? | 10:59 |
| gluonman | sn9, I'm looking at the information. It just mentions gnash, etc. which are things I've already installed. No further directions. | 10:59 |
| sn9 | gluonman: uninstall gnash | 10:59 |
| arvind_khadri | ikonia, hi,after adding a default gateway ,the entry isnt permanent,changes after a reboot ,how to make it permanent | 11:00 |
| wols | brrrrrradical: it must be cause the error looks like it's a script | 11:00 |
| backslash7 | ikonia: I'm just sticking to tutorials since I had trouble doing this by myself | 11:00 |
| ikonia | arvind_khadri: are you using dhcp ? | 11:00 |
| gluonman | sn9, alright. | 11:00 |
| wols | brrrrrradical: head <urban terror file> | 11:00 |
| backslash7 | ikonia: You would say I can use just grub ? | 11:00 |
| arvind_khadri | ikonia, yup... | 11:00 |
| ikonia | backslash7: contact the guy who wrote the turorial though | 11:00 |
| wols | brrrrrradical: or better yet: "file <urban terror file>" | 11:00 |
| bashca | bazhang, 1 more Q please how can get default source list | 11:00 |
| banisterfiend | *************waht's a good IDE for ubuntu that supports ruby and erlang??**************** | 11:00 |
| backslash7 | ikonia: Can I chainload NTLDRs out of grub ? | 11:00 |
| ikonia | arvind_khadri: I assume your adding the gateway with route add | 11:00 |
| backslash7 | sure huh | 11:00 |
| wols | backslash7: yes you can | 11:00 |
| backslash7 | of course | 11:00 |
| backslash7 | wasnt thinking omg | 11:00 |
| arvind_khadri | ikonia, yah :) | 11:00 |
| ikonia | backslash7: no idea, I'd imagine so | 11:00 |
| wols | ikonia: chainloader +1 like ubuntu does it automatically when installing it | 11:01 |
| ikonia | arvind_khadri: ok - the most probable cause is either 1.) your dhcpd server isn't offering up a gateway, 2.) your client is not requesting one | 11:01 |
| ikonia | wols: yes, | 11:01 |
| bashca | bazhang, i followed this link http://www.debuntu.org/2006/03/27/9-how-to-ipw2200-getting-intel-pro-wireless-2200-bg-to-work-on-debian-ubuntu but when searching the file on source lits i can't find it ?? | 11:01 |
| sn9 | banisterfiend: have you looked at eclipse or anjuta | 11:01 |
| Slart | banisterfiend: extremely annoying.. we don't want a attention competition here... just ask your question like the rest of the people here manage to do | 11:01 |
| sn9 | ? | 11:01 |
| backslash7 | How can I just install the GRUB-MBR to a usb stick ? | 11:01 |
| backslash7 | I don't wanna loose data and formats | 11:01 |
| gluonman | sn9, I uninstalled it. | 11:01 |
| arvind_khadri | ikonia, ok any way to work it around other than adding it everytime?? | 11:01 |
| tapas | hi | 11:01 |
| gordonjcp | tapas: hello | 11:02 |

| tapas | i want to install a ubuntu chroot on a debian system | 11:02 |
| gluonman | sn9, alright. | 11:02 |
| tapas | i was thinking of using debootstrap | 11:02 |
| tapas | but it seems debootstrap needs a scripüt per suite | 11:02 |
| ikonia | arvind_khadri: well what is your dhcp server | 11:02 |
| wols | bashca: that's a evry outdated tutorial. ipw2200 is part of the mainline kernel now and has been for a long term | 11:02 |
| ikonia | gabunga: yes? | 11:02 |
| wols | brrrrrradical: no you cannot | 11:02 |
| wols | !pm | brrrrrradical | 11:02 |
| ubottu | brrrrrradical: Please ask your questions in the channel so that other people can also benefit AND help you. Please don't PM a user in the channel without asking first, some find it rude. | 11:02 |
| sn9 | tapas: which branch of debian? | 11:02 |
| gluonman | sn9, wow. I guess gnash was just getting in the way. | 11:03 |
| gluonman | sn9, thank you. | 11:03 |
| bashca | wols, but i lost it by mistake how can recover it this main Q ??? | 11:03 |
| kidbuntu | ikonia: i dont have it anymore | 11:03 |
| arvind_khadri | ikonia, the machine is connected to a router so i assume the ISP | 11:03 |
| ikonia | kidbuntu: don't have what ? | 11:03 |
| tapas | sn9: etch, 4.0 | 11:03 |
| wols | bashca: reinstall the kernel | 11:03 |
| ikonia | arvind_khadri: ok, that would make sense | 11:03 |

| arvind_khadri | ikonia, so?? | 11:04 |
| shubbar | all's well in Ubuntu so far, except for the wireless | 11:04 |
| kari | how to fix NTLDR missing problem? | 11:04 |
| tapas | on a debian host | 11:04 |
| brrrrrradical | wols : this is what i get when i enter "file <urban terror file>" : http://paste.ubuntu.com/26632/ | 11:04 |
| wols | kari: that's a windows problem | 11:04 |
| shubbar | i cann't seem to get around getting disconnected | 11:04 |
| sn9 | tapas: debootstrap is debootstrap, if it's recent enough | 11:04 |
| ikonia | arvind_khadri: lets have a quick look at the client, please open /etc/dhcp3/dhclient.conf | 11:04 |
| wols | brrrrrradical: how do you exactly try to run Urbanterror? | 11:04 |
| Slart | kari: done something to your hard drives? you might want to fix the mbr.. google or try ##windows | 11:04 |
| ikonia | arvind_khadri: in the request line does it have "routers" | 11:05 |
| arvind_khadri | ikonia, oops the system is somewhere else :) sorry | 11:05 |
| ikonia | arvind_khadri: ahh, ok, can't do much about it then | 11:05 |
| shubbar | kari: use the installation cd and ... | 11:05 |
| ikonia | :q! | 11:05 |
| ikonia | oops | 11:05 |
| kari | wols:yes after i install ubuntu it started | 11:05 |
| brrrrrradical | double click on the file (ioUrbanTerror.i386) ... which worked up until i accidentally changed what it opened with | 11:05 |
| shady | ikonia: should i format both drives with fat32 to be able to share files between them? | 11:05 |
| ikonia | shady: nah | 11:05 |
| arvind_khadri | ikonia, if you dont mind could you just tell me what all should be looked upon ... | 11:05 |
| wols | kari: sudo fdisk -l and cat /boot/grub/menu.lst both outputs in a pastebin please | 11:05 |
| ikonia | shady: ext3 for ubuntu, ntfs for windows | 11:05 |
| ikonia | arvind_khadri: sure look at dhclient.conf make sure it has "routers" in the request field | 11:06 |
| shady | ikonia: thank and, dang u r fast | 11:06 |
| tapas | gaius:~# debootstrap hardy /mnt/ubuntu-chroot/ http://archive.ubuntu.com/ubuntu/ | 11:06 |
| arvind_khadri | ikonia, ok , what if it has?? | 11:06 |
| tapas | E: No such script: /usr/lib/debootstrap/scripts/hardy | 11:06 |
| ikonia | arvind_khadri: then connect to your router, and look at your router config | 11:06 |
| tapas | sn9: sometimes an error message is more informative than a mere description | 11:06 |
| tapas | sn9: did you see my debootstrap error message 3 messages ago? | 11:07 |
| arvind_khadri | ikonia, oh ok :) thanks...catch you later...thanks a lot :) | 11:07 |
| sn9 | tapas: did you grab debootstrap from lenny/sid? | 11:07 |
| ikonia | arvind_khadri: no problem | 11:07 |

| aslamc | bonespur you can type in chmod 777 [file/folder] this will give it full permissions | 12:33 |
| aslamc | shak there is a virtualized software MOL is kinda like virtual pc on mac | 12:33 |
| aslamc | it emulates mac on linux | 12:34 |

| Shoopuf | VirtualBox > VMWare?? | 12:36 |
| aslamc | shoopuf they both work pretty good... | 12:37 |

| Shoopuf | negge: Fair enough... Any harm in keeping the repository on my computer or should I get rid of it? | 13:40 |
| poopuser | ppl i beg of u can someone provide link or explain how to install lilo on usb stick plz | 13:40 |
| negge | Shoopuf: no it's safe to keep it | 13:40 |
| ice_cream | negge, hmm, but what does 'unused' mean | 13:40 |
| Dr_willis | poopuser, normally to make a usb stick bootable, ive used syslinux, or one of its variants | 13:41 |
| negge | ice_cream: it means that no other application depends on that package | 13:41 |
| decko | Another thing that I try to do is create another user, but the new user don't use the theme too | 13:41 |
| ice_cream | and it is less version that a package of the same name on the system, i guess | 13:42 |
| ice_cream | smaller version than* | 13:42 |
| holyguyver | Does anyone know how to get my sound input to work on Hardy with a 00:10.1 Audio device: nVidia Corporation MCP51 High Definition Audio (rev a2) ? | 13:42 |

| aslamc | negge i was trying to get my mic to work (it was a wierd case) and then my music wont play anymore my sound does tho.... i downloaded a whole bunch of packages gstream ugly etc... but no luck.. any ideas | 13:45 |
| negge | aslamc: you mean you can get sound but you can't listen to music? | 13:46 |
| Dr_willis | poopuser, syslinux is normally used by many of the 'installed-to-usb' linux disrtos. Its documented, and in the syslinux package. | 13:46 |
| decko | :( | 13:47 |
| decko | I'm seeing that i'll have to install ubuntu again | 13:47 |
| negge | poopuser: if you're looking to make a bootable live CD or something similar just google "install ubuntu on usb drive", there are an endless amounts of guides ot there | 13:47 |
| decko | :( | 13:47 |
| aslamc | negge: yeza | 13:47 |
| negge | decko: you can try removing ubuntu-desktop and then reinstalling it | 13:47 |
| negge | I've never done it but it might work | 13:47 |
| aslamc | negge: it was playing before i tried gettin my mic to work | 13:47 |
| holyguyver | No help? | 13:47 |

| drsoulman | little question | 13:48 |
| negge | holyguyver: have you tried fiddling with the settings under System --> Preferences --> Sound? Maybe changing from ALSA to something else or vice versa will help | 13:48 |
| simotempler | what is the difference between doing : sudo sh ./armyops250linux.run and sudo ./armyops250linux.run | 13:48 |
| holyguyver | negge I have tried everything, it is a repetely reported bug in hardy. | 13:48 |
| drsoulman | i'm having a problem with sound on my laptop | 13:48 |
| negge | aslamc: okay... try going to System --> Preferences --> Sound and choose ALSA on all places | 13:48 |
| Dr_willis | simotempler, if the .run program is done properly, not much. really. | 13:49 |
| Xavura | Where do I go to change the name of my computer | 13:49 |

| Pici | !rpm | whatisneveritis | 13:52 |

| aslamc | so its something else... | 13:56 |
| holyguyver | aslamc it isn'r supposed to play mp3s out of the box | 13:57 |
| Pici | aslamc: Have you installed the ubuntu-restricted-extras package so that you can play mp3 files? | 13:57 |
| drsoulman | patch did not solve the problem but now i know how to use patch | 13:57 |
| aslamc | i think all the plugins are installed... well it was playing before after i installed all the codecs but now its not but sound is working | 13:57 |

| mahesh | pici:: yup | 14:02 |
| wols | or use vlc. should play most stuff out of the box | 14:02 |
| holyguyver | mahesh or you could just cut out the middleman & use LinuxMint as your OS instead of Ubuntu, it comes with all of the codecs preinstalled & activated. | 14:02 |

| fudus5 | i have a windows .exe file i'd like to make a shortcut of on the desktop. how do i do this? | 14:02 |
| hlfshell | do you have wine installed fudus5 ? | 14:02 |
| MXIIA | fudus5, use wine and just put the file | 14:02 |
| MXIIA | on the desktop | 14:02 |
| fudus5 | clicking the .exe directly works fine, but i want to make a shortcut on the desktop | 14:03 |
| icewaterman | anyone good with awk? because i have a string and i want only a specific part of it (position of it unknown) extracted. maybe sed can do that as well. to be more specific: i want to parse cat /proc/cmdline but i only need the root=/dev/sdxy part (or even better the device sdxy would do). so how can i extract that. | 14:03 |
| hlfshell | alright fudus5 | 14:03 |
| whatisneveritis | fudu make a symbolic link | 14:03 |
| fudus5 | so i don't need to go to containing file with all the .dlls and stuff | 14:03 |
| hlfshell | you can just make a regular shortcut pointing towards the .exe as you would a normal file/program fudus5 | 14:03 |
| whatisneveritis | cd into your desktop | 14:03 |
| whatisneveritis | ln /target/to/exe/file -s | 14:03 |
| aslamc | pici: anything else it could be | 14:03 |
| fudus5 | what about all the .dlls though? | 14:04 |
| holyguyver | mahesh , yes pici is right this room cannot offer support for LinuxMint, but I can offer support to you :p | 14:04 |
| whatisneveritis | well try that, if it doesn't work, write a small sh script which cds into the directory, and runs the exe from that directory | 14:04 |
| Pici | holyguyver: Not in this channel though. | 14:04 |
| holyguyver | Pici of course not, but I can lead him to the right channel on the right server :-p | 14:05 |

| mahesh | holyguyver: wat support? | 14:05 |
| hlfshell | whats the reason nullmind ? | 14:05 |
| fudus5 | oh i added wine to beginning | 14:05 |
| nyko | Hi; i can t received on amule but i m on high ID !! | 14:05 |
| fudus5 | workee now | 14:05 |
| holyguyver | Pici if someone would prefer a different distro I see no problem in recamending one that they might like more. | 14:06 |
| Pici | fudus5: you need a small script to run: wine /path/to/zmud.exe | 14:06 |
| nullmind | hlfshell: wine uses the internal process model of linux, so permissions are just as important | 14:06 |
| Pici | fudus5: And just run that with a desktop launcher | 14:06 |
| hlfshell | ah. thanks for the info nullmind | 14:06 |
| holyguyver | mahesh this is a support channel for Ubuntu, I suggested for you a different distro, which is of course supported in it's own channel. | 14:06 |
| fudus5 | i just put wine /path/ and it worked :P | 14:06 |
| ziarkaen_ | fudus5, there are plety of native MUD clients that you can run | 14:06 |
| Xavura | Is there anything you can download to get transparency for ALL windows | 14:06 |
| Dr_willis | !mud | 14:06 |
| ubottu | Sorry, I don't know anything about mud | 14:06 |

| ziarkaen_ | xavura, compiz | 14:07 |
| Pici | Xavura: you can modify compiz's settings for opacity, but #compiz-fusion would be the right place to speicifcally ask about that | 14:07 |
| fiXXXerMet | Installed ubuntu using the alternate CD. Setup 3 partitions. sda1 & sdb1 as raid, sda2 & sdb2 as swap and sda3 & sdb3 as raid. I then put /boot as an ext3 fs on md0 and then / as a xfs fs on md1. After rebooting, I get a grub error at stage 1.5, error 17 | 14:07 |
| Xavura | Oooh | 14:07 |
| fudus5 | is it possible to get aero glass like effect on the border? | 14:07 |
| Xavura | I have compiz fusion | 14:07 |
| mahesh | holyguyver: ok | 14:07 |
| fudus5 | plain transparency is boring | 14:07 |
| nullmind | fudus5: you can use emerald to theme that maybe | 14:07 |
| Xavura | How do I enable it or should I ask in #compiz-fusion | 14:07 |
| AbdulAkbarr | How can i check is some service running now via console? For example cron? | 14:08 |
| Xavura | transparency that is | 14:08 |
| Dr_willis | fudus5, compiz and the emerald themes thing - has Plenty of look alike aero themes | 14:08 |
| fudus5 | don't know how to install themes so :P | 14:08 |
| trakinas | hi guys! | 14:08 |

| holyguyver | mahesh do to patent issues ubuntu chooses to not support mp3, mpeg, & other video & audio formats out of the box, however someone can if they know how easily get Ubuntu to support them. If you would prefer a linux distro that has all of that stuff turned on automaticly there are lots of distros that have that LinuxMint is one of them, it is Ubuntu but with all of that stuff automaticly turned on, plus a lot of other helpful improvements. | 14:09 |

| unop | scales138, see the tar manpage | 14:13 |

| Snowball | Question to the GERMAN users: Did the channel #ubuntuusers.de move? I have been chatting in that channel very often, but since about a week, there is NOBODY in this channel any more... | 14:14 |
| FTB | Hmm? | 14:14 |
| hlfshell | might be a firefox issue meowskisbane | 14:14 |
| meowskisbane | hlfshell: ff3 too in ubuntu hardy | 14:14 |
| trakinas | meowskisbane: they probably has an issue with linux... try with epiphany | 14:14 |
| meowskisbane | ok thanks trakinas | 14:14 |
| DJones | Snowball: You might be better asking that in #ubuntu-de | 14:14 |
| FTB | Hmm? | 14:14 |
| trakinas | meowskisbane: you are welcome. if the issue persist, contact them and protest. | 14:14 |
| Pici | AbdulAkbarr: cron's init script doesnt seem to support the status argument, but if its listed in ps aux, or if pidof cron returns a number, then its running. Normally I'd check /etc/init.d/$service status | 14:14 |
| hlfshell | meowskisbane - also, if that doesnt work, go into the #firefox channel, as it might be a problem with firefox remembering your login name (cookies, temp files, etc) | 14:14 |

| hlfshell | khaleel5000 - go to system -> preferences - > screen resolution | 14:15 |
| Pici | Snowball: #ubuntu-de is probably a better place to find Ubuntu German users | 14:15 |
| FTB | Hmm? | 14:15 |
| scales138 | unop: yeah i looked at it | 14:15 |
| nullmind | KILL FTB | 14:15 |

| syscode | Any one knows how to configure ethernet interface (eth0)? | 14:15 |
| unop | scales138, did you see the description for -C ? | 14:15 |
| hlfshell | khaleel5000 - nevermind, didnt see the KDE part. | 14:15 |

| hlfshell | khaleel5000, trakinas - oops :-) | 14:15 |
| FTB | Hmm? | 14:16 |
| nixnoob | syscode: ubuntu dekstop or server? | 14:16 |
| khaleel5000 | hlfshell: no problem | 14:16 |
| syscode | desktop | 14:16 |
| julian_ | anyone know if there is a deb package for mysql dbd support? | 14:16 |
| trakinas | hlfshell: in kde i think is in Control Center, or just like you'd do in windows: clic in the desktop, configure, screen. smth like that. cannot remember by heart. :/ | 14:16 |
| Pici | FTB: Can we help you? | 14:16 |
| scales138 | unop: ahhhh | 14:16 |
| nixnoob | syscode: have you tried using network-manager? | 14:16 |
| unop | scales138, you didn't read the manpage properly :) | 14:16 |
| scales138 | unop: so tar -xvf backup.tar -C /home/me would extract to the "me" me folder? | 14:17 |
| nixnoob | syscode: eth0 is wired correct? there shouldn't be a need for any configuration as long as your router has DHCP enabled. | 14:17 |
| unop | julian_, is this perl DBI / DBD ? | 14:17 |
| syscode | yes, nixnoob. Thats where I got the idea there's a problem.. It tells me :the interface doesnot exist. Check that it is correctly typed and | 14:17 |
| syscode | that it is correctly supported by your system" | 14:17 |

| ubottu | Hi! I'm #ubuntu's favorite infobot, you can search my brain yourself at http://tinyurl.com/5zfb6t - Usage info: http://wiki.ubuntu.com/UbuntuBots | 14:17 |
| julian_ | i dont think so. but im not exactly sure. i search for an apache module to authenticate through htaccess against a mysql table | 14:18 |
| unop | scales138, well, by default tar extracts to the current directory, -C changes the directory and tar then extracts to the current directory | 14:18 |
| holyguyver | !ubottu | 14:18 |
| syscode | Thats the theory I heard.. DHCO is enabled | 14:18 |
| nixnoob | syscode: a wired interface that is not recognized is well impossible AFAIK.... | 14:18 |
| zamaran | holastraca | 14:18 |

| trakinas | Pici: this is not portuguese. =P | 14:19 |
| zamaran | obrigado | 14:19 |

| nixnoob | was there a kernel update yesterday? | 14:19 |
| julian_ | unop: i dont think so. but im not exactly sure. i search for an apache module to authenticate through htaccess against a mysql table | 14:19 |

| ubottu | BubbleWrap: 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. :-) | 14:20 |
| BubbleWrap | like a text based one for my vps | 14:20 |
| syscode | so why do i get the interface doesnot exist. Check that it is correctly typed and | 14:20 |
| syscode | that it is correctly supported by your system" | 14:20 |
| Pici | BubbleWrap: w3m, links2, lynx | 14:20 |

| MXIIA | Links2, Bubblewrap | 14:20 |
| syscode | could it be that a driver is missing? | 14:20 |
| khaleel5000 | hlfshell: is there a gui based ubuntu control center or something to configure screen resolution? | 14:20 |
| unop | scales138, you got it right .. tar xvf file.tar -C /path/to/dir | 14:20 |
| fudus5 | time to try out emerald whee | 14:20 |
| syscode | let me check.. | 14:20 |
| Pici | holyguyver: No, I have a permanent ubottu query window for that | 14:20 |
| aslamc | bubblewrap i'd recommed lynx for text and opera for gui.... man opera is too good | 14:20 |
| BubbleWrap | links or links2? | 14:20 |
| scales138 | unop: thanks! | 14:20 |
| julian_ | anyone know if there is a deb package for mysql dbd support? | 14:21 |
| nixnoob | Does anyone know if there was a kernel update yesterday? | 14:21 |
| BubbleWrap | whats the difference? | 14:21 |
| unop | julian_, i am not sure then -- i'd know if you were talking about perl - not sure about apache | 14:21 |
| hlfshell | khaleel5000 - if youre running KDE, go to channel #kubuntu for help with ubuntu and KDE :-) | 14:21 |
| nixnoob | BubbleWrap: I like elinks. | 14:21 |
| khaleel5000 | hlfshell: thanks | 14:21 |
| hlfshell | khaleel5000: np | 14:21 |
| BubbleWrap | i just want a simple browser so i can google something real quick lol | 14:21 |
| DJones | nixnoob: Yes, pretty sure there was a minor update, not enough to need a restart though | 14:21 |
| nixnoob | BubbleWrap: a few different features. | 14:21 |
| BubbleWrap | ic ic | 14:21 |
| holyguyver | Pici when will ubotu be back? | 14:21 |
| syscode | i get from ifconfig eth0 Link encap:Ethernet HWaddr 00:0C:76:E6:71:6B | 14:21 |
| nixnoob | DJones: yea but it borked my nvidia drivers, I need to reinstall them | 14:21 |
| BubbleWrap | whats a simple one to use for noobs? | 14:21 |
| hlfshell | BubbleWrap - links is pretty small and will allow you to do that easily. | 14:21 |
| BubbleWrap | k | 14:22 |
| hlfshell | It is also really easy. | 14:22 |
| mattgyver83 | I continually have issues with Firefox 3.0 lagging and then not responding in Ubuntu 8.04, does anyone have any similar issues, or know if this is common? | 14:22 |
| BubbleWrap | apt-get install links? | 14:22 |
| MXIIA | <_< I have Konsole and Terminal... and I can't uninstall Konsole. | 14:22 |
| Pici | holyguyver: I dont have a timeline on that, but the bots are running the same code. | 14:22 |
| MXIIA | just go through Add/Remove, Bubblewrap | 14:22 |
| BubbleWrap | i cant | 14:22 |
| trakinas | why people keep blaming our community (linux community) when they cant found support for they hardware? | 14:22 |
| BubbleWrap | this is my vps..cli | 14:22 |
| MXIIA | then apt-get install links | 14:22 |
| W8TAH | what does it mean when apt update tells me that pacakges are being kept back | 14:22 |
| DJones | nixnoob: My nvidia drivers worked fine through the updates, have you used a non repo version of them, thats normally an issue if you've manually installed/used envy/envyNG | 14:22 |
| Pici | BubbleWrap: yep | 14:22 |
| holyguyver | Pici , I know but it is just not the same, it is like when Rose had to choose between The Doctor & the clone hand Doctor. | 14:22 |
| Pici | BubbleWrap: w3m is installed ootb iirc | 14:23 |
| Pici | holyguyver: #ubuntu-offtopic please | 14:23 |

| BubbleWrap | o nm | 14:23 |
| Pici | BubbleWrap: out of the box, if I recall correctly. | 14:23 |
| aslamc | trakinas cuz they don't know the the hardware manufacturers are supposed to give dirver support on linux... its their responsibility | 14:23 |

| mahesh | wols:: ok | 14:27 |
| Xavura_ | but if I ssh into my server and do ls there are none | 14:27 |
| Shoopuf | mahesh: First you uncompress the .tar.gz file, then you open whatever README type of files is inside... They usually say how to do it. :) | 14:27 |
| Xavura_ | so do I need to install something on my server to enable colours | 14:27 |
| Starnestommy | BubbleWrap: you should never use user applications as root, especially not ones that access the internet | 14:27 |
| Fudus | irc servers like kicking you off if you're on root :/ | 14:27 |
| Fudus | silly servers | 14:27 |
| syscode | where are the rooter configuration files? | 14:27 |
| Pici | syscode: rooter? | 14:27 |

| hlfshell | hold on let me see where else it could be col_sanders | 14:28 |
| wols | Pici: all people act stupid very often. It doesn't mean they ARE stupid. big distinction | 14:28 |

| gnu_d | wols, I'm reading the list. | 14:29 |

| djhash | syscode: browser** not webpage | 14:29 |
| BubbleWrap | nixnoob: huh | 14:29 |
| BubbleWrap | nixnoob: yes | 14:29 |
| wols | Pici: I didn't | 14:29 |
| Fudus | much better to run as root so you can isntall without prompts! | 14:29 |
| syscode | djhash - tried that one - it didnt come up | 14:29 |
| JuzzyD | Is there some sort of known issue with transfers via USB on Ubuntu? | 14:29 |

| Fudus | plus i can save stuff in /etc/ very important | 14:29 |
| BubbleWrap | nixnoob: ubuntu server 8.04 | 14:29 |
| Xavura_ | anyone? | 14:29 |
| nixnoob | BubbleWrap: did you sudo irssi? | 14:29 |
| Shoopuf | JuzzyD: I transfer files to and from a USB drive and an iPod frequently. No problems ever. | 14:29 |
| JuzzyD | I seem to be able to find the question asked if I google it, but no answers | 14:29 |
| wols | gnu_d: pastebin the output | 14:29 |
| djhash | syscode: can you ping it? | 14:29 |
| hlfshell | sorry col_sanders - idont see it. try joining the nautilus channel | 14:29 |
| JuzzyD | Larger files, 1gb+ | 14:29 |
| BubbleWrap | nixnoob: no, i apt getted it, apt getted screen, and run screen then irssi | 14:30 |
| nixnoob | djhash: i told him to do that but he ignored me | 14:30 |
| JuzzyD | Im transferring a 700mb file right now, it has 15 minutes to go and is transferring at 320k/s | 14:30 |
| col_sanders | hlfshell: will do. tnx anyway :) | 14:30 |
| nixnoob | BubbleWrap: is the root account enabled in the server version? | 14:30 |
| khaleel5000 | hlfshell: sorry if i have disturbed you...wierdly, when i went to hardware testing, when the time came for screen test, screen kida flickered, and the resolution was fine! (but I logged out and back had same issue, re-ran hardware testing it was fine )...any idea whats the problem? | 14:30 |
| gnu_d | wols, http://rafb.net/p/OLPtNI61.html | 14:30 |
| JuzzyD | It started at 3mb/s and just got slower and slower and slower | 14:30 |
| wols | gnu_d: AC97 99% | 14:31 |
| nixnoob | Im so tired. | 14:31 |
| djhash | syscode: are you still there? | 14:31 |
| syscode | hummm.. haven't tried that one.. will have to log off here to try pinging... | 14:31 |
| gnu_d | wols, now what's the driver ? | 14:31 |
| syscode | thanks for the advice | 14:31 |
| Shoopuf | JuzzyD: I'm no expert, but that sounds about right. :P USB transfers are pretty slow, particularly a 700MB file... I notice that the less I touch my computer during the transfer the higher the speed goes. | 14:31 |
| hlfshell | next time you log out khaleel5000, save your session? | 14:31 |
| syscode | will come later, hopefully via ubuntu.. :) | 14:31 |
| wols | gnu_d: ac97 | 14:31 |
| Slart | If I want to get the source for a package, edit the source and then compile/install with my change, can I do it using apt or similar tools? | 14:31 |
| MXIIA | What is the difference between "XChat-GNOME IRC Chat" and XChat IRC"? | 14:31 |
| hlfshell | try it now khaleel5000 - set your resolution, and when you logout save your session. | 14:32 |
| gnu_d | wols, where to get it ? | 14:32 |
| djhash | syscode: g/l. | 14:32 |
| wols | Slart: yes. you get the source with apt-get source | 14:32 |
| nixnoob | Slart: you have to enable the source code repo and i think yes | 14:32 |
| Starnestommy | MXIIA: xchat-gnome is incomplete | 14:32 |
| wols | !source | Slart | 14:32 |
| ubottu | Slart: You can easily fetch a package's source with apt-get. See: http://www.debian.org/doc/manuals/apt-howto/ch-sourcehandling.en.html | 14:32 |
| Pici | MXIIA: The gnome version is a bit nicer looking, but also hides some more advanced settings from users. | 14:32 |
| marshall | my Login Window dialog keeps crashing, i go System>Administration>Login Window, then put in my password and the window appears, then immediately closes | 14:32 |
| Shoopuf | MXIIA: Most people asked say they much prefer regular X-Chat (non-Gnome) | 14:32 |
| wols | gnu_d: your ubuntu already comes with it | 14:32 |
| syscode | thanks djhash | 14:32 |
| wols | !alsa | 14:32 |
| ubottu | If you're having problems with sound, first ensure ALSA is selected, by double clicking on the volume control, then File -> Change Device (ALSA Mixer). If that fails, see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Sound - https://help.ubuntu.com/community/SoundTroubleshooting - http://alsa.opensrc.org/DmixPlugin - For playing audio files, see !Players and !MP3 | 14:32 |
| Slart | wols: where would the source end up? or I can specify that? | 14:32 |
| Brandon__ | What's the easiest way to figure out if I have internet on a ubuntu server? Is there a quick command? | 14:32 |
| marshall | Shoopuf: i prefer xchat to xchat-gnome | 14:32 |
| wols | Slart: in . | 14:32 |
| MXIIA | Yea, I am using GNOME now, I will try regular. thanks | 14:32 |
| gnu_d | wols, but why it doesn't work, I tried Xubuntu too, no sound too. | 14:32 |
| Brandon__ | oh nevermind ping works | 14:33 |
| nixnoob | Brandon__: ping google.com | 14:33 |
| wols | !doesn't work | 14:33 |
| ubottu | 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. | 14:33 |
| hlfshell | anyone in here happen know what off_t is? | 14:33 |
| hlfshell | in C? | 14:33 |
| Pici | hlfshell: try ##c | 14:33 |
| hlfshell | will do Pici, thanks | 14:33 |
| Brandon__ | yeah. So odd. Okay I have internet and I have SSH installed. I've set up like 3 servers now. This is the first time I've had a problem. I can't SSH into the darn thing. Anyone know how to diagnose a problem like this? | 14:34 |
| wols | Brandon__: router present? | 14:34 |
| JuzzyD | Shoopuf, Man, I remember my USB transfers being faster than my net connection in the past. This is ludicrous that I can send stuff through the air in my house at 500k/s but I plug something into the computer to store something on it, and it takes 3 times as long | 14:34 |
| erUSUL | hlfshell: it seems a custom defined type you just grep for the definition on the source code | 14:34 |
| Brandon__ | wols, University network. | 14:34 |
| hlfshell | thanks erUSUL | 14:34 |
| wols | Brandon__: they might blocj port 22 or all incoming even | 14:34 |
| wols | Brandon__: public IP or private? | 14:35 |
| nixnoob | Brandon__: port forwarding? | 14:35 |
| Brandon__ | wols, I've used this to SSH into a server I was building 2 weeks ago | 14:35 |
| Brandon__ | It was using the same LAN line | 14:35 |
| Brandon__ | or whatever it's called. | 14:35 |
| Pici | Brandon__: Is the ssh server installed and running? | 14:35 |
| Slart | wols: thanks | 14:35 |
| wols | sudo netstat -anp |grep 22 | 14:35 |
| tia | l ady d newcomer | 14:36 |
| Brandon__ | wols, tcp6 0 0 :::22 :::* LISTEN 7490/sshd | 14:36 |
| mjg | i have a funny issue if anyone has an idea: | 14:36 |
| nixnoob | wols: what does that command do | 14:37 |
| Pici | Brandon__: Can you ssh to yourself? | 14:37 |
| wols | nixnoob: which one? | 14:37 |
| Pici | Brandon__: From the server to itself rather. | 14:37 |
| nixnoob | wols: netstat -anp | grep 22 | 14:37 |
| Shoopuf | JuzzyD: OK maybe it is a problem then. :P Ask your question again maybe someone will know of possible USB issues... | 14:37 |
| mjg | i'm using a dell laptop, with monitor attached. i have the screen displayed fine (the same screen on both monitors) | 14:37 |
| wols | nixnoob: netstat displays network connections | 14:37 |
| mjg | but sometimes when i go fullscreen, it only goes fullscreen to the size of the laptop screen | 14:37 |
| Brandon__ | Pici, yep | 14:37 |
| mjg | othertimes, it recognizes the entire monitor screen | 14:37 |
| mjg | i have no idea why :( | 14:38 |
| Brandon__ | It's odd though. Maybe someone changed something. For some reason my static IP is different. Maybe someone messed with the network cables. | 14:38 |
| nixnoob | wols: mine just says unix 3 STREAMING CONNECTED /process/here | 14:39 |
| JuzzyD | Hrmms, just doing some reading, and full speed 1.1 USB speed should have me transferring at 1.5mb/s | 14:39 |
| wols | nixnoob: you are a user | 14:39 |
| ziarkaen | they exagerrate the speeds by ALOT | 14:39 |
| JuzzyD | So I'm getting 20% of that, and I have no other USB devices plugged in leeching the bandwidth | 14:39 |
| gordonjcp | JuzzyD: weird | 14:40 |
| Shoopuf | It also depends on the version of the devices... Some use USB 1.0, some use 2.0... | 14:40 |
| nixnoob | wols: it has to be run using sudo? | 14:40 |
| Shoopuf | I've plugged USB 2.0 devices into a USB 1.0 hub and lose speed. | 14:40 |
| gordonjcp | JuzzyD: I regularly transfer files 2GB or larger to and from USB, on a variety of devices | 14:40 |
| JuzzyD | That's the 1.0 quoted full speed on wiki | 14:40 |
| wols | nixnoob: no | 14:40 |
| wols | doesn't have to, only sometimes | 14:40 |
| marshall | my Login Window dialog keeps crashing, i go System>Administration>Login Window, then put in my password and the window appears, then immediately closes | 14:41 |
| JuzzyD | 2.0 speed is much faster, I know the usb storage device is 2.0, not sure about this old piece of crap laptop though | 14:41 |
| JuzzyD | so I'm working on the assumption of 1.0 | 14:41 |
| [k0d3]||4[tran] | Hey - I am having some stability and crashing problems with the GNOME desktop that I installed on my ubuntu-server 8.04 installation.

| MXIIA | Is there a BitTorrent client for FireFox 3? | 14:52 |
| mgolisch | ? | 14:52 |
| Shoopuf | MXIIA: Yes, it should be already installed -- called "Transmission" | 14:52 |
| unop | MXIIA, have a look on the firefox extensions page | 14:52 |
| Shoopuf | oh sorry, for firefox (blush) | 14:52 |
| hlfshell | MXIIA - i can't say if there is or not for firefox3, but i can recommend Azerus as a bit torrent client in general too | 14:52 |
| KenBW2 | MXIIA: Opera has a bittorrent client built in if that's what you're after | 14:53 |
| MXIIA | Well there is a BitTorrent client for Windows FireFox3, I can't seem to find one for Linux | 14:53 |
| KenBW2 | MXIIA: what do you mean by "for Firefox"? | 14:54 |
| erUSUL | !bittorrent | MXIIA | 14:54 |
| ubottu | MXIIA: Torrent clients: Transmission (GTK and terminal-based), Deluge-Torrent, Freeloader, BitStormLite, BitTornado-GUI (GTK), KTorrent (KDE), QTorrent (Qt), Azureus (Java), TorrentFlux (web-based), bittornado, rTorrent, cTorrent, bittorrent, aria2 (terminal-based) - FAQ: http://www.bittorrent.com/FAQ.html - See also !P2P | 14:54 |

| flakrat | Will the official Ubuntu 8.0.x repo ever release the nVidia 175 series of drivers or to get those do I need to install manually? | 14:55 |
| hateball | flakrat: manually | 14:55 |
| KenBW2 | would i realistically be able to run VMWare/other on 2.4GHz/512MB RAM? | 14:55 |
| unop | MXIIA, i don't see why you won't just use a normal torrent client ? firefox should open up .torrent files in your torrent client which will go on to donwload files, etc | 14:56 |
| Shoopuf | KenBW2: Not with 512 RAM methinks | 14:56 |
| flakrat | hateball, thanks | 14:56 |
| MXIIA | Yea, I use Transmission, but I don't like the interface of it. | 14:56 |
| hlfshell | KenBW2 - I got XP running super smoothly in a VM window on a 2.4 ghz 1 gig ram yesterday using Vbox | 14:56 |
| hlfshell | KenBW2: but i think 512 is a bit low RAM wise. You can certainly try it. | 14:56 |
| unop | MXIIA, pick a client that you like then :) | 14:56 |
| KenBW2 | Shoopuf: i know someone who runs Ubuntu on 256MB RAM, so surely 2x265 = 512 | 14:56 |
| unop | MXIIA, there are quite a few to choose from | 14:57 |
| Slart | MXIIA: azureus is available.. or you can run utorrent using wine | 14:57 |
| KenBW2 | hlfshell: i know someone who runs Ubuntu on 256MB RAM, so surely 2x265 = 512 | 14:57 |
| seisen | deluge | 14:57 |
| MXIIA | Yea, I think I will run uTorrent with wine | 14:57 |
| MXIIA | I used that when I used windows. | 14:57 |
| l3d | ok I think I have done this right I installed the apple2 under synaptic and now was wondering how to start it | 14:57 |
| hlfshell | Yah I read that one. It should work KenBW2 - just realize that on only 512 some of the more graphic intensive or processor intensive programs will cause a larger slowdown. | 14:57 |
| _Brun0_ | VBox pawns. But a note: VirtualBox from Uubntu repository doesn't work on Uubntu 8.04 hardy heron for me. I had to install it manually. | 14:57 |
| hlfshell | Do you need help selecting a VM client or setting it up KenBW2 ? | 14:57 |
| KenBW2 | hlfshell: ok, thanks | 14:57 |
| hlfshell | _Brun0_ - i too love VBox :-) | 14:58 |
| KenBW2 | hlfshell: well im just toying with the idea atm | 14:58 |
| Flynsarmy | What's the diff between the nvidia restricted drivers that come with ubuntu and the nvidia drivers from theri website? | 14:58 |
| hlfshell | KenBW2 - well good luck with it then. IT does work and its really not that hard. | 14:58 |
| poopuser | HELP!guyz! l ( how can i erase mbr of usb stick coz grub's ghost keeps hounting me | 14:58 |
| KenBW2 | hlfshell: can you recommend a VM client? | 14:58 |
| _Brun0_ | KenBW2: VirtualBox | 14:59 |
| Shoopuf | KenBW2: I forgot to ask, what OS will you be running in the VM? :) I guess that would effect the answer. | 14:59 |
| hlfshell | KenBW2 - Virtual Box, OSE (open source edition). IT's completely free and its wizards makes running/modifying the VM a dream | 14:59 |
| KenBW2 | hlfshell: my policy is Open Source first, proprietary if no good alternative exists | 14:59 |
| unop | Flynsarmy, the latter are probably newer versions - or might even be the same, the ones in the repo have been placed in packages so it makes installation, uninstallation, etc easier | 14:59 |
| trakinas | MXIIA: deluge is a hack of a good client. there is another one, but cant remember its name | 14:59 |
| Shoopuf | Interesting, 3 people said VirtualBox... Better than VMWare? | 14:59 |
| hlfshell | KenBMW2 - to install windows on a newly made VM in virtual box takes 2 more minutes then just flat out installing windows :-) | 14:59 |
| knittl | my ubuntu (hardy) won't let my play two audio streams simultanously :( what can i do about it? | 14:59 |
| KenBW2 | Shoopuf: Just for if i want to toy with other OSes, like Fedora or Kubuntu | 14:59 |
| MXIIA | Ok, I will google deluge. | 14:59 |
| unop | !ot | 14:59 |
| ubottu | #ubuntu is the Ubuntu support channel, #ubuntu+1 supports the development version of Ubuntu and #ubuntu-offtopic is for random chatter. Welcome! | 14:59 |
| hlfshell | Shoopuf - I've recently made the change and have loved it so far. MAybe there are things that I havent seen that would change me back, but so far I would recommend it over VMWar | 15:00 |
| seisen | !deluge | MXIIA | 15:00 |
| ubottu | MXIIA: deluge is a new Bittorrent client, created using Python and GTK+, intended to bring a native, full-featured client to !GTK environments such as GNOME and Xfce - See http://deluge-torrent.org/ for more information or http://download.deluge-torrent.org/stable/ubuntu/feisty/ for downloading. | 15:00 |
| KenBW2 | MXIIA: just install it with sudo apt-get install deluge-torrent | 15:00 |
| MXIIA | Ok, thank you | 15:00 |

| syscode | hiyas, am back again after a short adventure with the router on 8.0.4... | 15:14 |
| nixnoob | backslash7: it should automount to your desktop | 15:14 |
| th0r | backslash7, open a terminal, type 'tail -f /var/log/messages' and then plug in the drive | 15:15 |
| erUSUL | backslash7: "tailf /var/log/messages" on terminal then plug the usb stick | 15:15 |
| nixnoob | backslash7: you can check the properties there. | 15:15 |
| syscode | thanks nixnoob and djhash for the advice.. not sirted yet, but feel it might be on the way.. | 15:15 |
| trakinas | backslash7: df -a | 15:15 |
| th0r | erUSUL, (tail -f) | 15:15 |
| backslash7 | th0r: Let's say I cannot replug the device, it's just there, not mounted | 15:15 |
| backslash7 | trakinas: see above | 15:15 |
| knittl | amarok/totem/vlc/rhythmbox @ Slart | 15:15 |

| th0r | erUSUL, really!? learn something new every day! | 15:16 |

| th0r | erUSUL, now what will I do with all those dashes | 15:16 |
| erUSUL | th0r: and if you read the man page you see that it has some advantages over tail -f | 15:16 |
| unop | yousif111, replace /tmp/g with your filename | 15:16 |
| Xavura_ | wow | 15:16 |
| nixnoob | Slart: only if you are using OSS | 15:16 |
| knittl | Slart: yap. or in some cases one will even crash | 15:16 |
| syscode | pinging 192.168.1.1 gets nothing - and so is an attempt to point browser there | 15:16 |
| trakinas | Xavura_: depending on what you want to do, you just need to import the image you want before changing the wallpaper. | 15:17 |
| Jman | trakinas how do i go about getting that to run you think? | 15:17 |
| backslash7 | Noone? | 15:17 |
| Slart | knittl: if you go to system, preferences, sound and set everything to use pulse.. any changes? | 15:17 |
| KenBW2 | nixnoob: will that be why it's not letting me run from my Fedora DVD? | 15:18 |
| nixnoob | syscode: what happens if you sudo dhclient eth0 | 15:18 |
| syscode | however, pinging 192.168.1.254 seems to work - but browsing there, get the browser to show the title of the router box on the window, nothing else | 15:18 |
| trakinas | Jman: have no idea, but try installing moz-plug. i think that is the name | 15:18 |
| nixnoob | KenBW2: i dunno whats the eroor message | 15:18 |
| knittl | Slart: default mixer tracks too? | 15:18 |
| erUSUL | backslash7: do "dmesg" the logged mesages from whe it was mounted should be there but you will have to search for them | 15:18 |
| nixnoob | syscode: thats weird have u been screwing with your router settings? | 15:18 |
| Slart | knittl: nah.. you can leave that one | 15:18 |
| syscode | will need to try, nixnoob | 15:18 |
| knittl | Slart: hm, vlc still crashes | 15:19 |
| syscode | no - i didn't touch the settings at all | 15:19 |
| unop | syscode, you trying to find the IP address of your router? | 15:19 |
| nixnoob | syscode: I'm really not sure that doesn't make any sense. | 15:19 |
| nixnoob | unop: no, hes trying to configure the interface | 15:19 |
| KenBW2 | nixnoob: oh ive closed it now | 15:19 |
| syscode | the ip of the router is 192.168.1.254 | 15:20 |
| _empemp_ | which flash plugin do you use? | 15:20 |
| KenBW2 | nixnoob: it was something about not being able to access my dvd drive | 15:20 |
| knittl | Slart: totem pops an error »failed to connect to stream: invalid argument« | 15:20 |
| nixnoob | KenBW2: yea I told ya its weird just use the official version. | 15:20 |
| syscode | should 192.168.1.254 not be the ip? do i need to try change this to 192.168.1.1 ? | 15:21 |
| nixnoob | syscode: thats also weird most routers have 192.168.0.1 or 192.168.1.1 | 15:21 |
| esox | bonjour, je n'ai pas de correction orthographique dans openoffice 2.4 | 15:21 |
| unop | syscode, your IP can be anything but 192.168.1.254 | 15:21 |

| ubottu | esox: Ce canal est en anglais uniquement. Si vous avez besoin d'aide ou voulez discuter en francais, merci de rejoindre #ubuntu-fr ou #kubuntu-fr | 15:21 |
| unop | syscode, that is, if you use a subnet mask of 255.255.255.0 | 15:21 |

| JonathanEllis | Hi. I understand to run a script I type either ./<scriptname> but what if I want to run it from a different directory? <pathname>/./<scriptname> doesnt work | 15:21 |
| unop | nixnoob, 192.168.1.254 is standard on some routers | 15:22 |
| syscode | unop - but 192.168.1.254 takes me to the router on xp | 15:22 |
| ikonia | JonathanEllis: /$path/$to/$script | 15:22 |
| hateball | JonathanD: ./ indicates you run from current directory | 15:22 |
| Jman | ill be honest linux seems likes it alot more of a pain that its good | 15:22 |
| erUSUL | JonathanEllis: is <pathname>/<scriptname> | 15:22 |
| Jman | just my opinion | 15:22 |
| Slart | knittl: hmm.. odd.. let me google a bit | 15:22 |
| unop | syscode, right, that has to be your default gateway then .. your IP address must be something different | 15:22 |
| backslash7 | is fat32 == vfat ? | 15:22 |
| knittl | Slart: thanks a lot | 15:22 |
| unop | syscode, so if i were you, i'd pick an IP address of 192.168.1.1, subnet mask 255.255.255.0 and default gateway 192.168.1.254 | 15:23 |
| erUSUL | JonathanEllis: . stands for the current directory so when you type ./scriptname you are actually telling the shell /pathname/scriptname | 15:23 |
| syscode | oh! i see, - unop | 15:23 |
| icewaterman | how can i get a substring from a variable in bash that is matching a regex | 15:23 |
| nixnoob | unop: why not just sudo dhclient eth0 | 15:23 |
| trakinas | why people cant use linux here | 15:23 |
| KenBW2 | nixnoob: is downloading | 15:23 |
| trakinas | ? | 15:23 |
| nixnoob | KenBW2: what you trying to set up? | 15:23 |
| erUSUL | JonathanEllis: the same gfoes for .. (parent directory) or ~ (home directory) they are alias | 15:23 |
| unop | icewaterman, use sed | 15:23 |
| syscode | so how can i preoceed from here? | 15:23 |
| Qhestion | if i want to copy everything except files/dirs_in_the_'build'_directory into build/temp/, how do i do that? "cp -a !(build/*) build/temp" seems not to work... | 15:23 |
| icewaterman | unop: i tried for the last 2 hours | 15:23 |
| trakinas | svn client is working perfectly in linux but not in win2k. | 15:23 |
| trakinas | :/ | 15:24 |
| erUSUL | icewaterman: ask in #bash | 15:24 |
| icewaterman | and i have no idea why my solution doesnt work | 15:24 |
| trakinas | this is driving me insane. | 15:24 |
| unop | icewaterman, sed -r 's/.*\(pattern\).*/\1/' <<<"$VARIABLE" | 15:24 |
| KenBW2 | nixnoob: just so i can play with other distros without installing them | 15:25 |
| Flamelor | good evening everybody | 15:25 |
| === mndo_ is now known as mndo | ||
| unop | nixnoob, syscode, well, from what i had gathered in the last few minutes is that you wanted a static setup -- if you are trying to use dhcp, use that instead | 15:25 |
| trakinas | Flamelor: howdy | 15:25 |
| syscode | am using dhcp | 15:25 |
| evingrano | I'm sure this has been talked about...I just installed Ubuntu 8.04 on my Acer Expensia 5420 and i can connect to the network wired or wireless | 15:26 |
| syscode | well.. am trying to, unop.. the connection doesnt work though | 15:26 |
| unop | icewaterman, actually. sed -r 's/.*(pattern).*/\1/' <<<"$VARIABLE" | 15:26 |
| evingrano | can't connect | 15:26 |
| nixnoob | KenBW2: have fun, i personally find them to be all the same just with different packages | 15:26 |
| KenBW2 | nixnoob: yea, thats what i found withFedora | 15:26 |
| Flamelor | evingrano do you set the DNS-Server? This was my fault at the begining | 15:26 |
| syscode | tried to follow https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Router after advice from nixnoob and djhash here | 15:26 |
| KenBW2 | nixnoob: plus Ubuntu is easier to use | 15:26 |
| syscode | that the problem was the router setting | 15:27 |
| unop | syscode, ok, run dhclient on that interface again .. then pastebin the output of this command. ifconfig; route -n | 15:27 |
| evingrano | DNS server on the router in the app? | 15:27 |
| nixnoob | KenBW2: just more support and debian is much easier. | 15:27 |
| KenBW2 | nixnoob: yea, the community support for ubuntu is amazing | 15:28 |
| Flamelor | @evingrano on your workstation. | 15:28 |
| Flamelor | Go to the Network-Setting-Dialog and choos DNS | 15:28 |
| syscode | thanks unop. will do. | 15:28 |
| Xavura_ | WHERE are the default Ubuntu wallpapers | 15:28 |
| syscode | have to log off for that.. | 15:28 |
| unop | syscode, you might need sudo where appropriate | 15:28 |
| Xavura_ | They aren't in usr/share, there isn't a wallpaper dir... | 15:28 |
| unop | syscode, not necessary | 15:28 |
| syscode | no? | 15:28 |
| yousif111 | unop: thank yo again the second command is working too for me. | 15:29 |
| ttt-- | if there is a 1pixel wide blue column on my screen, it that probably a hardware error? | 15:29 |
| icewaterman | unop: i always get invalid reference \1 on `s' command's RHS when i try that | 15:29 |
| KenBW2 | anyone know if a script i put in /etc/acpi/suspend.d needs sudo on commands? | 15:29 |
| syscode | am currently on the XP part of the box.. | 15:29 |
| Xavura_ | oh come on | 15:29 |
| Xavura_ | I've been trying to find out for like half an hour | 15:29 |
| Xavura_ | Nobody know where the default Ubuntu wallpapers are? | 15:29 |
| flodin | i messed something up with nvidia-glx-new (i think i installed a conflicting package: nvidia-xconfig, causing nvidia-glx-new to be removed). Now it is marked as "half installed" and when I do dpkg-reconfigure nvidia-glx-new I get " nvidia-glx-new is broken or not fully installed" | 15:29 |
| flodin | what can I do? | 15:29 |
| Flamelor | its alrady said Xavura_ | 15:29 |
| flodin | the same error appears if i try to uninstall the package | 15:30 |
| Xavura_ | no it hasn't been said Flamelor | 15:30 |
| unop | syscode, ohh ok, you need to reboot into linux and try this then. , assuming eth0 is what you are configuring. sudo dhclient eth0; ifconfig eth0; route -n | 15:30 |
| Xavura_ | if it had been said would I be here asking still? | 15:30 |
| Flamelor | oh sry | 15:30 |
| Xavura_ | err no | 15:30 |
| Flamelor | one moment | 15:30 |
| ttt-- | Xavura_, /usr/share/backgrounds | 15:30 |
| KenBW2 | Xavura_: it's got to be somewhere in your home folder since you dont need root priveliges to change them | 15:30 |
| Xavura_ | backgrounds :S | 15:30 |
| KenBW2 | ttt--: am i wrong? | 15:30 |
| unop | icewaterman, even now? | 15:30 |
| syscode | cool. thanks unop | 15:30 |
| Xavura_ | why are they backgrounds on Ubuntu and wallpapers on everything else I can think of | 15:30 |
| Xavura_ | thanks anyway | 15:30 |

| yousif111 | oh ok | 15:31 |
| unop | icewaterman, ok, what is contained in the variable? | 15:31 |
| KenBW2 | nixnoob: i installed VB as you suggested, and it's gone: it's not in Applications and "bash: virtualbox-ose: command not found" | 15:32 |

| ShawnP | its the open source version of the .net framework | 15:35 |
| Flamelor | ok - thank you! | 15:36 |
| unop | Qhestion, you need to enable extglob for that | 15:36 |
| evingrano | @Flamelor, DNS tables are filled properly...weird. I can't even ping the router | 15:36 |
| icewaterman | unop: that returns everything else but the root= part | 15:36 |
| Flamelor | evingrano - sry, i have no other suggestion... | 15:37 |
| ShawnP | should be able to get it from the updater | 15:37 |
| unop | icewaterman, it shouldn't -- make sure you don't have any aliases or functions for sed that might cause bash to run sed differently | 15:37 |
| icewaterman | unop: dont have such an alias | 15:37 |
| evingrano | @Flamelor, np...thanks for the suggestion...banging my head on this one | 15:37 |

| Slart | knittl: but hibernation is still a bit new for linux it seems | 15:51 |
| unop | ice_cream, use find. find /path -type f -iname "*.rb" -print0 | xargs -0 cp -t tmp | 15:51 |
| unop | ice_cream, like the command you just suggested | 15:52 |
| knittl | Slart: i narrowed my problem down a few days ago. after hibernation, if i put amarok on pause irc/jabber, everything breaks down. | 15:52 |
| icewaterman | unop: just a hint: -exec from find will save you the xargs | 15:52 |
| knittl | same with totem/rhythmbox (if they are open and playing network is fine…) | 15:52 |

| Shoopuf | Any reason why Ubuntu Wireshark wont recognize my Network interface, but XP Wireshark does? | 15:53 |
| unop | icewaterman, you need .* around the expression to have that excluded from the captured expression .. as we are using s/// .. | 15:53 |
| ice_cream | if you two (unop, icewaterman) knew how to do it, why not answer Qhestion's question earlier? | 15:53 |
| syscode | unop, just did as you suggested.. how can i paste here large chunks of text without being punished..? | 15:53 |
| unop | !paste | syscode | 15:53 |
| ubottu | syscode: 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) | 15:53 |

| |MUSE| | hello, what program would you use to synchronise 2 folders? | 15:54 |
| unop | ice_cream, because i was helping icewaterman then .. but your solution needs addressing, it is not safe | 15:54 |

| unop | Qhestion, did you get anywhere with your tar question? | 15:55 |
| Qhestion | unop: i am still trying to understand what you all said | 15:56 |
| Qhestion | unop: currently i am browsing the tar and cp man pages, thinking about hardcoding the directories that will be added | 15:56 |
| joni_ | ya where are you? | 15:57 |
| unop | Qhestion, i'm not aware of a way to have the contents of the current directory placed in a named directory in a tarball | 15:58 |
| syscode | ok.. ifconfig eth0; route -n is @ http://paste.ubuntu.com/26673/ | 15:58 |
| porkpie | hi guy's .. how do I add a binary to bootup ? | 15:58 |

| syscode | sudo dhclient eth0 @ http://paste.ubuntu.com/26670/ | 15:58 |
| unop | Qhestion, what i would do is simply extract the tarball into a seperate directory rather than go through the hassle i.e. tar zxvf file.tgz -C foo | 15:58 |
| porkpie | when it reboots | 15:59 |
| TB` | Hi all | 15:59 |
| syscode | hope these can help finding why the system wouldnt connect to the internet well | 15:59 |
| Qhestion | unop: unfortunately this is not possible: this is for a contest and the rules explicitly forbid writing allowed the directory | 15:59 |
| syscode | a reminder - its ubuntu 8.0.4 | 15:59 |
| Qhestion | unop: ... writing outside of the allowed ... | 16:00 |
| unop | syscode, i don't see why you can't connect to the internet, everything here is perfect | 16:00 |
| unop | Qhestion, hmm, you might like to ask this question in #bash - they might know | 16:00 |
| syscode | oh.. unop.. thanks for looking | 16:00 |
| Qhestion | unop: thanks, i will. | 16:00 |
| ice_cream | unop, why was it dangerous, btw | 16:00 |
| unop | syscode, what happens when you try and ping a host .. like google.com ? | 16:00 |
| TB` | Any idea when Ubuntu 8.10 is coming out? | 16:01 |
| syscode | what else can i do? should i give up then? | 16:01 |
| ice_cream | unop, it was taking at most one argument into a cp command | 16:01 |
| gordonjcp | TB`: October | 16:01 |
| TB` | Thanks | 16:01 |
| DJones | TB`: Probably towards the end of October | 16:01 |
| gordonjcp | TB`: the clue is in the title | 16:01 |
| TB` | Oh sorry, didn't read it gordonjcp | 16:01 |
| syscode | i can ping any site i like | 16:01 |
| gordonjcp | 8.<10> | 16:01 |
| syscode | it pings fine | 16:01 |
| syscode | which is why initially i thought the problem was in the browser | 16:02 |
| gordonjcp | TB`: the current one came out in April, and is 8.<04> | 16:02 |
| syscode | but then when i tried ftp, or download apps - it didnt work either | 16:02 |
| unop | ice_cream, hold on | 16:02 |
| TB` | I know that | 16:02 |
| FTB | Hmm? | 16:02 |
| astroboyf06 | http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=824974&highlight=D600 I have this exact same problem | 16:02 |

| Mimi | Mmmmm where do I go if I want to change what key stroke moves the window, etc? It's not on Keyboard Shortcuts. If I hit the shift key it moves the window, so I cant select text | 16:04 |
| ice_cream | unop, to rewrite it slightly shorter and avoid colors/aliases --> /usr/bin/ls | /usr/bin/grep -v ".rb" | xargs -n 1 -iHI cp -r HI tmp | 16:05 |
| Ghost-R | which is a Light Weight Flash Player for Hardy 32bit ? | 16:05 |
| unop | ice_cream, ls does not properly escape filenames that contain unusual characters, including spaces, newlines and other ASCII control characters -- now your command works fine when filenames are properly named, but it does not take into consideration exceptions | 16:05 |
| Ghost-R | flashplayer-nonfree hangs the browser | 16:05 |
| unop | ice_cream, you should never ever parse the output of ls, ls was never created to be used in scripts or compound commands .. it was simply written to list objects in interactive sessions, thats all | 16:06 |
| Whitor | nm, dmesg helped figgure it out | 16:06 |
| unop | ice_cream, if you must copy files in such a way .. use find. find . -exec cp '{}' /path/to/dest \; | 16:07 |
| shab | so i'm having a very strange problem... my screen will flicker between a red grade to normal constantly | 16:09 |
| shab | its not a monitor problem | 16:09 |

| ubottu | To install Flash see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/RestrictedFormats/Flash (a recent version for !Dapper is available in !backports) - See also !Restricted and !Gnash | 16:09 |
| unop | ice_cream, why using ls and xargs that way is actually dangerous is when you have filenames with spaces, a file named "foo bar" will actually be passed down the pipe to xargs as two strings and xargs will think it has to copy two files one "foo" and another "bar" | 16:09 |

| ice_cream | find is not working the way i want it to | 16:11 |
| unop | ice_cream, no please, don't make excuses about using ls that way -- if you must really know, ask in #bash, they will give you good reasons for avoiding ls completely | 16:11 |
| hlfshell | unop - what would you use other than ls? | 16:12 |
| ice_cream | k i'll ask them | 16:12 |
| unop | hlfshell, find, tar, cpio | 16:12 |
| ice_cream | foo\ bar copied correctly btw | 16:12 |
| unop | ice_cream, that's properly quoted but ls doesn't do quoting for you | 16:12 |
| ice_cream | i just made a filename called foo\ bar first | 16:13 |

| Pici | DASPRiD: Probably automatically installed, as a dependency, not explicitally. | 16:22 |
| DASPRiD | because i have many packages marked with A | 16:23 |

| Xavura | they make things quicker and easier but I don' tknow how | 16:28 |

| Xavura | oh | 16:29 |
| Xavura | yeah that's kind of what I need, how to pop up the menu with a keystroke | 16:29 |
| RasQulec | Xavura: The alt key works for me to bring up the menu, does your alt key work correctly elsewhere? | 16:29 |
| Xavura | but for the TOP menus I think you can use alt | 16:29 |

| Nevermind | any1 up for it? (Turn on WiFi on HP G7000) | 16:30 |
| mgolisch | Shoopuf: mostlikely because it depends on packages which are not in the repo | 16:30 |
| aslamc | shoopuf i think that means its either an older version or conflicting | 16:31 |
| mgolisch | Shoopuf: why not use the banshee package from the ubuntu repos | 16:31 |
| RasQulec | Xavura: do you have that key that looks like a menu on your keyboard? | 16:31 |
| Xavura | Raskall_: err that looks like a menu? explain | 16:31 |
| RasQulec | near right super [windows] and control | 16:31 |
| Shoopuf | mgolisch: I got the one in the repos but this new Banshee 1.0.0 is supposed to be really good | 16:31 |
| Xavura | err no just space, super, ctrl | 16:31 |

| Xavura | zs6otb: forget a forward slash? lol | 16:34 |
| Xavura | haha | 16:34 |
| RasQulec | Xavura: I think xmodmap will do it | 16:34 |
| Xavura | RasQulec: what's that, how do I get to it, how do I use it | 16:34 |
| RasQulec | Xavura: left super is 115 I think | 16:34 |
| aslamc | shoopuf why don't you download it from getdeb.net | 16:34 |
| Xavura | this is what I mean, I have absolutely no idea | 16:34 |
| td123 | SamDunne: you can just copy the files to a backup drive and then reinstall again selecting the entire disk | 16:35 |
| mgolisch | SamDunne: yeah backup first then kill the windows partition, then resze the ubuntu one, but dont do it ithout backups! | 16:35 |
| mgolisch | SamDunne: unless the data isnt important | 16:35 |
| RasQulec | Xavura: I dont know, you will have to look it up, I think you have to configure a script in your home dir to map them using that | 16:35 |

| Xavura | even if my mouse is not in the input box | 16:38 |
| SamDunne | =( | 16:38 |
| RasQulec | Xavura: okay put "keycode 115=menu" into ~/.xmodmap if you want to keep it | 16:39 |
| ASULutzy | SamDunne: Alternatively you could just delete everything on the NTFS partition other than the music and use it as storage | 16:39 |
| SamDunne | Good idea | 16:39 |
| ASULutzy | SamDunne: It's not like you can't just convert the Windows partition into a storage space | 16:39 |
| RasQulec | Xavura: it brings up the menu for the currently selected item that has keyboard focus | 16:39 |
| td123 | SamDunne: you can also convert the ntfs partition to ext3 | 16:39 |
| ASULutzy | td123: Doing that would format it? | 16:39 |
| SamDunne | How do I do that? | 16:39 |
| SamDunne | Yeah | 16:39 |
| SamDunne | So just delet everything on the windows partition apart from music etc? | 16:39 |
| td123 | ASULutzy: ya, I mean format it to ext3 | 16:39 |
| RasQulec | Xavura: Menu may need to be propercase | 16:40 |
| Xavura | RasQulec: it worked how you typed it | 16:40 |
| Xavura | RasQulec: ok well x chat doesn't let you blur the input field so that's why right | 16:40 |
| SamDunne | ASULutzy thanks I'll do that =) | 16:40 |
| ice_cream | unop, yea, the -1 switch of ls is important for that reason | 16:40 |
| lesshaste | what's the easiest way to add a password to a pdf document? | 16:41 |
| RasQulec | Xavura: perhaps, I have not used xchat but if it doesnt give the input focus then it wont work | 16:41 |
| ASULutzy | td123: that wouldn't be a solution, he wants to keep his 30 GB of music. SamDunneYea, just convert it to storage by deleting everything other than the music ;) | 16:41 |
| === Dark_Sage is now known as Tertius | ||
| Xavura | it gives the focus input | 16:41 |
| Xavura | and it works for what I wanted to use it better, it doesn't really work for x chat | 16:41 |
| myconid | I apt-get'd nagios, removed it, and now when I reinstall it seems to know I previously installed it; and wont try to configure itself. | 16:41 |
| === Tertius is now known as OTertius | ||
| Xavura | but I never really need to right click in x chat so it's ok | 16:41 |
| myconid | how do I make apt-get reconfigure nagios ? | 16:41 |
| Xavura | RasQulec: one thing though, if I reboot will the key still be mapped | 16:41 |
| erUSUL | myconid: dpkg-reconfigure packagename | 16:42 |
| myconid | erUSUL: it wont even install now (I deleted /etc/nagios) :) | 16:42 |
| erUSUL | myconid: you need to do "sudo apt-get remove --purge nagios to get rid of conf files too | 16:42 |
| RasQulec | Xavura: no, you need to put the stuff in quotes into ~/.xmodmap | 16:43 |
| * delcoyote hi | 16:43 | |
| lesshaste | what's the easiest way to add a password to a pdf document in linux? | 16:43 |
| erUSUL | myconid: :| brute force is not usually the best action... a "man apt-get" shoulb have been a better aproach ;P | 16:43 |
| ice_cream | unop, actually, xargs -iVAR rm -v VAR correctly works, even if spaces | 16:43 |
| myconid | erUSUL: I think I broke it.. http://pastebin.com/m774e4aa7 | 16:43 |
| RasQulec | lesshaste: truecrypt it would be easy :P | 16:44 |
| Xavura | RasQulec: it is empty/doesn't exist is that normal | 16:44 |
| RasQulec | Xavura: Yes, you need to make it | 16:44 |
| lesshaste | Raskall_, can acroread then open it? | 16:44 |
| erUSUL | myconid: sudo dpkg -i --force-all path/to/deb/file | 16:44 |
| simmerz | firefox 3 randomly crashes on me. any ideas why? | 16:45 |
| RasQulec | lesshaste: no you will have to extract it, if there is not a tool for adding a password to the pdf then you will have to put it in an archive like that | 16:45 |
| simmerz | doesn't appear to be flash that causes it | 16:45 |
| Xavura | RasQulec: thanks | 16:45 |
| Oli``` | Hi all. This computer has been on for a few days now and when I try and launch new apps, they stall half-way through loading. Ones that are already running are stable. Restarting the whole computer is the only fix I've found. I've no idea what's causing it, or how to tell so any input would be lovely! | 16:45 |
| erUSUL | myconid: usually yo will see them on /var/cache/apt/archives/ | 16:45 |
| myconid | see what? | 16:45 |
| aslamc | shoopuf make sure u let me know how u like banshee | 16:45 |

| ChoboMog | Does anyone know how powerfull a graphics card it takes to run Compiz at 1080p? | 16:46 |
| myconid | ChoboMog: about 75 watts | 16:46 |
| unop | ice_cream, you still aren't getting the point - ls doesn't escape at all - http://pastebin.com/d3674fe7b | 16:46 |
| RasQulec | ChoboMog: an intel x3100 or higher I bet | 16:47 |
| ChoboMog | okay | 16:47 |
| Slart | ChoboMog: just running it.. something in the geforce 6 series would run it without sweating I guess | 16:47 |
| jals | anyone have a good Grip guide for setting encoding flags and stuff? | 16:47 |
| Slart | ChoboMog: depends on the amount of effects you use too | 16:47 |
| td123 | wth, whats an intel x3100 :) | 16:47 |
| RasQulec | td123: its the intel 965's video chip | 16:48 |
| ASULutzy | td123: Integrated graphics card, i965 | 16:48 |
| ChoboMog | I'm currently using a radeon 9200/p4 3ghz, which can run 720p playback without issue, but I wasn't sure how intensive compiz would be compared to that | 16:48 |
| td123 | ahh | 16:48 |
| RasQulec | ChoboMog: that should work, it doesnt seem to take much to run compiz | 16:48 |
| ASULutzy | ChoboMog: I have an onboard x3100, it works to run compiz, it won't do much more than that though | 16:48 |
| ChoboMog | the main settings I use are wobbly windows, awn dock, and the hot-corner like effects | 16:48 |
| unop | ice_cream, the only way to get around this is to have fields delimited by the NULL character (\0) passed to arg .. e.g. find -print0 .. as far as i know, there is no ls that does that, GNU ls especially | 16:48 |
| [k0d3]||4[tran] | Hi: Say that I want to uninstall my GNOME desktop, and install IceWM. Running: [sudo aptitude remove ubuntu-desktop] would take me back to the Ubuntu 8.04 installation (server w.GUI) I have server command line. Could i just then do [sudo aptitude update] followed by [sudo aptitude install icewm]? | 16:48 |
| Oli``` | ChoboMog: I'm running compiz at 1920*1200 on two screens on a single 8800 GTS. Compiz isn't that heavy as long as you have a new enough card with enough graphics RAM | 16:49 |
| ChoboMog | okay | 16:49 |
| RasQulec | [k0d3]||4[tran]: that should install all the dependencies | 16:49 |
| thehumanerror | Does anyone have any experience getting a Treo 650 to synchronise with Ubuntu? | 16:49 |
| Slart | [k0d3]||4[tran]: that should work.. I don't even think you need the sudo apt-get update there | 16:49 |
| thehumanerror | or know anything about the GNOME Network Applet | 16:49 |
| Vermux | why when Im running adept_manager it doesnt give me administrator rights to install updates unless I rub sudo adept_manager? (using kubuntu) | 16:50 |
| thehumanerror | I mean, GNOME Bluetooth Applet | 16:50 |
| ChoboMog | excellent...I'll give it a shot, thanks | 16:50 |
| Oli``` | ChoboMog: just seen your other message - a 9200 might start to feel the heat at 1080p... that is getting on in years | 16:50 |
| Slart | [k0d3]||4[tran]: but it can't hurt.. so might as well run it.. unless you've updated recently | 16:50 |
| RasQulec | ChoboMog: how much video ram does it have? | 16:50 |
| ChoboMog | 128mb | 16:50 |
| jeeves__ | can someone tell me how to expand my FS3 partition that my root is in without needing a live CD? I don't have blank disks, and I can't find the ones I had mailed to me | 16:51 |

| unavailable | I have a Jabra BTE-0te1 bt headset, and a usb cord. am i able to bt enable my comp with this setup? | 16:53 |
| thehumanerror | MolePrince, if you got the all the files back, you could use EasyTag to rename all the files from their tags | 16:54 |
| thehumanerror | I think | 16:54 |
| gordonjcp | jeeves__: nope, I've never resized a partition | 16:54 |
| Oli``` | ChoboMog: completely agree with RasQulec - give if a year or two and ATI could well be top for Linux graphics but they're coming from a long way behind | 16:54 |
| RasQulec | jeeves__: You might be able to make grub mount a live cd that is stored on a non root partition but I dont have experience in setting that up | 16:54 |

| mjg | unop ah right, so the low nice = more cpu cycles, high nice = low cpu | 17:10 |
| mjg | unop so if i set something to very high nice value, will the program itself (ie - firefox) become slow? | 17:11 |
| coolasjon | I can't find a fix | 17:11 |

| chriswr | whats the difference from grub and usplash???? | 17:24 |
| Pici | ballsac: Are you going to be serving files to Windows systems? | 17:24 |
| Bob_Sagot | theres anti-virus for linux? | 17:24 |
| gordonjcp | Bob_Sagot: there is | 17:24 |
| ballsac | Pici : I would be doing a lot of internet browsing, checking email and using microsoft word, excel etc. | 17:24 |
| ballsac | btw | 17:25 |
| ronin12345 | there are also virus for Linux | 17:25 |
| Bob_Sagot | Lol, one day I suppose Linux users may need anti-virus | 17:25 |
| gordonjcp | ronin12345: no | 17:25 |
| ballsac | how does on go about running word | 17:25 |
| gordonjcp | Bob_Sagot: unlikely | 17:25 |
| myconid | Bob_Sagot: my fileserver is linux.. but i run AV for the windows clients that access it. | 17:25 |
| gordonjcp | Bob_Sagot: it's very very handy for scanning incoming mail | 17:25 |
| cube_ | my display resets after reboot, and editing out the undesired resolution from xorg.conf doesn't help or saving my session with the correct display so what should i do | 17:25 |
| ballsac | how to install word in ubuntu | 17:25 |
| chriswr | bob_sagot: there is chkrootkit in synaptic for root kits | 17:25 |
| atlef | ballsac: you need wine | 17:25 |
| Pici | ballsac: Unless you are sharing files with Windows users, you really don't need antivirus. Linux is not succeptable to any viruses in the wild. | 17:25 |
| ballsac | the CD i have dosent wor | 17:25 |
| myconid | ball: apt-get install openoffice | 17:25 |
| Bob_Sagot | ok, i was just making a quick remark | 17:26 |
| Pici | ballsac: OpenOffice supports editing and saving .doc files. | 17:26 |
| ballsac | atlef : ok where can i get wine (im assuming it's a program, not the drink :)) | 17:26 |
| chriswr | whats the difference from grub and usplash???? | 17:26 |
| atlef | ballsac: or create a virtual machine and install windows to it | 17:26 |

| simmerz | firefox 3 randomly crashes on me. any ideas why? doesn't appear to be flash causing it. | 17:27 |
| ronin12345 | gordonjcp: there have been and are linux viruses but their effect is very limited due to the fact that updates are released and applied faster | 17:27 |
| Bob_Sagot | its just an idea | 17:27 |
| Pici | chriswr: usplash just displays the nice picture when you boot, grub actually loads the kernel | 17:27 |
| gordonjcp | ronin12345: uhm, no | 17:28 |
| Bob_Sagot | ballsac: but if you dont like it, you will need to install wine on your linux distro then install word | 17:28 |
| gordonjcp | ronin12345: there are various exploits for Linux, but no viruses | 17:28 |
| chriswr | pici: can you tell me how to install new ones? | 17:28 |
| cube_ | how do i make my correct resolution stay after a reboot? | 17:28 |

| ikonia | mahesh: the package "mysql" is in the ubuntu repos | 17:55 |
| mahesh | ikonia:: mysql package | 17:55 |
| unop | DieseL`nix, you need to be connected to a network if you want to mount a remote share -- using nautilus or otherwise | 17:55 |
| ikonia | mahesh: you can install it by opening synaptic and searching for mysql, the marking it for install | 17:55 |
| mahesh | ikonia: no i got it from my friend | 17:55 |
| ikonia | mahesh: you don't need to | 17:55 |
| trakinas | mahesh: install it via synaptic | 17:55 |
| ikonia | mahesh: it's in the ubuntu repo's | 17:55 |
| DieseL`nix | when i'm not it left the "mount" there it just would throw up an error until i was connected | 17:56 |
| mahesh | ikonia: synaptic doesnt show it | 17:56 |
| DieseL`nix | with fstab, if i'm not connected on boot it's not going to mount now is it? | 17:56 |
| ikonia | mahesh: if you open up synaptic from system -> administration -> synaptic | 17:56 |
| mahesh | ikonia: i searched it!! | 17:56 |
| ikonia | mahesh: I can see it in front of me | 17:56 |
| mahesh | ya | 17:56 |
| trakinas | me too | 17:56 |
| grant_ | ikonia:http://pastebin.com/d2064ecfc | 17:56 |
| ikonia | mahesh: the client is called mysql-client, the server is mysql-server | 17:57 |
| Jeruvy | DieseL`nix: well the mount will be done, it will fail. Once the connection is up tho it should work fine. This is really basic networking, I do not see any problem with the suggestions. | 17:57 |
| mahesh | ikonia: ya i see it | 17:57 |
| unop | trakinas, not sure what has happened there -- usually you are prompted for additional locales to install -- btw, athena happens to be my hostname too :) | 17:57 |

| mahesh | ikonia: which is in my media | 17:57 |
| Jeruvy | DieseL`nix: well then you're stuck doing it with nautilaus. | 17:57 |
| ikonia | mahesh: then untar it and read the "README" file, however it will break your pacakge managment facilities | 17:58 |
| DieseL`nix | i dont understand how such a massive bug can be in a "new" version?? | 17:58 |

| hansemann | so i can just install LVM now without any formating? | 18:42 |
| anto | msl, i still dont get it? | 18:42 |
| xnv | hansemann: LVM is not a program. | 18:42 |
| xnv | hansemann: It is a way to store data on your hard drive. It involves using a partition editor. | 18:43 |
| newk | Rik_T: u dont happen to know how to set ubuntu as the default option? | 18:43 |
| hansemann | yea. i heard that you could use it to make one partition on two harddrives. so thats why im asking. | 18:43 |

| Rik_T | newk: No, sorry, I don't. | 18:44 |
| PrimoTurbo | Hey guys I needed to edit the sudoers files with visudo, whats the shortcut to save the file? | 18:44 |
| xnv | hansemann: You have to have free space on your hard drive to create an LVM. | 18:44 |
| ___Max | I need to get the necessary packages to install wine 1.1.1, how do I do this? | 18:44 |
| NTolerance_ | PrimoTurbo: ctrl+o | 18:44 |
| PrimoTurbo | thnx where do i find the rest fo the shortcuts | 18:45 |
| trakinas | NTolerance_: not with vi | 18:45 |
| hansemann | so my root drive doesnt need to be lvm? | 18:45 |
| NTolerance_ | nano is default on recent ubuntu installs | 18:45 |
| trakinas | NTolerance_: ohhh! awesome | 18:45 |
| hansemann | or partition | 18:45 |
| xnv | hansemann: I'm not sure what you think "formatting" means, but if you have free space, you have to "format" it to use it. So, creating an LVM without formatting your disk is completely useless. | 18:45 |
| NTolerance_ | at least gutsy and hardy are that way, not sure about anything older | 18:45 |

| kyncani | new2nix: xdm is like 80 years old | 19:19 |
| liviu | For the first time Internet It's working! | 19:19 |
| ks3 | Camish: I believe it's a feature of BIND. I'd imagine it's built into the GUI configuration tools. I think it's ddns-update-style. | 19:19 |
| lemon | snarkster: ubuntu | 19:19 |
| Photocopy | ........ | 19:19 |

| xnv | CostaRicanQuaker: vim is better | 19:20 |
| Camish | ks3: Am gonna look it up | 19:20 |
| pasteeater | xenomorph99: I think you are using commands that are for a newer version of ffmpeg than what medibuntu has. Try replacing "-vcodec libx264" with "-vcodec x264" | 19:20 |
| Photocopy | Why cant I get any help T_T | 19:20 |
| Sylphid|work | lemon, is the remote computer behind NAT? | 19:20 |

| kyncani | javier: you do have ntfsprogs installed ? | 19:20 |
| ks3 | Camish: Sounds good. Check out the ddns-update-style directive for DHCPd, and there should be something similar in BIND. | 19:20 |
| xenomorph99 | pasteeater, it says that is unknown too | 19:20 |
| blackiskate_ | #quit | 19:21 |

| gregL | <Photocopy could be no one knows the answer.. | 19:21 |
| liviu | this is my video card | 19:21 |

| xnv | CostaRicanQuaker: Have you tried to find it in Synaptic? | 19:22 |

| NTolerance_ | tennispolska: no guarantees though, NVidia is faltering in a big way on drivers recently | 19:24 |
| xenomorph99 | Not x264? | 19:24 |
| xnv | CostaRicanQuaker: emacs is just a pain in the butt. It does a lot of the same stuff as vim, but it requires more awkward key combos | 19:24 |
| liviu | My only problem is the video card! | 19:24 |
| theRealBall | oh ok | 19:24 |
| liviu | ATI Technologies Inc Radeon Mobility M6 LY | 19:24 |
| new2nix | kyncani: can i still use a GUI on a dedicated server | 19:24 |

| sobersabre | what auto-configuration tool of X runs in ubuntu ? | 19:24 |
| vi390 | liviu: whats the prob with the Video Card ? (Does it have Video ?) | 19:24 |
| xnv | CostaRicanQuaker: You can also get it from Synaptic. | 19:25 |
| Photocopy | GleepGlop: My name is Photocopy and yes I have a desktop but no, I am always live session user, cause its a persistent live bootable usb | 19:25 |
| sobersabre | what can overwrite my configurations ? | 19:25 |
| theRealBall | flavors such as freebsd is unix certified why hasn't linux? | 19:25 |
| pasteeater | xenomorph99: and "-acodec aac" | 19:25 |

| ikonia | jimmy51vinsky: I asked you to test it | 20:09 |
| Flannel | javier: If you open up the box, you'll see little non-ribbon cables going to it. Also, your BIOS may say what your disks are. And I'm sure theres a way to tell in Ubuntu too. | 20:09 |

| jimmy51vinsky | ikonia, i would like to test it, i'm trying to figure out how | 20:09 |
| ikonia | jimmy51vinsky: tftp is the client - so tftp to your server | 20:09 |
| jimmy51vinsky | from windows? | 20:09 |
| ikonia | jimmy51vinsky: from windows ?? | 20:10 |
| javier | Flannel, its a laptop, do laptops also have sata disks?? | 20:10 |

| axisys | how do I dump/export a dns zone ? | 20:13 |
| Flannel | javier: I'm not sure how Windows handles that then. The problem is Windows install CDs don't know how to deal with SATA drives. Your best bet is to ask in ##windows and/or consult google. | 20:13 |
| ikonia | axisys: the zone file should be on your box | 20:13 |

| mymach_ | that has wifi and it is connecting easily through the router, so i know it is not a network issue | 20:23 |
| Gueul2rak | thx | 20:23 |
| ikonia | mymach_: if none of your PC's can browse the internet then the problem is network related | 20:23 |
| hrcn | kushalsejwal: it's difficult , cos just few people use the keyboard, no expert develop that, only if that hardware were so many people use . | 20:23 |
| kushalsejwal | ok | 20:23 |
| mymach_ | just browse the net yes, but the pcs are working fine on skype and irc | 20:23 |
| ikonia | mymach_: yes, but if NONE of your machines can browse the internet than it is a network issue - not an ubuntu desktop issue | 20:24 |
| mymach_ | also whenever I i try to open any website there is this weird "waiting for sun.63afe561.info" in the status bar | 20:24 |
| george_ | every command i write it says that <<command not found>> like apy -cache | 20:24 |
| ikonia | george_: the command is apt-cache | 20:25 |

| aslamc_ | Mr_Bad_News: in the command line? | 20:29 |
| axisys | ikonia: ok man.. its cool.. we all are cool! | 20:29 |

| Mr_Bad_News | you can always use apropos or apt-cache search to find a program too aslamc_ | 20:30 |

| Mr_Bad_News | yea | 20:31 |
| ikonia | zildjian: why would ubuntu know | 20:31 |

| happihippo | when i get a message from an ichat client, it's formatted with html. I can't figure out how to turn off html formatting | 20:31 |

| ikonia | jmunro: there are some excellent docs on the wiki | 20:33 |
| DieseL`nix | Flannel, connect to server uses smb | 20:33 |
| atlef | jmunro: remastersys | 20:33 |
| jmunro | i have a specific problem, i only remove packages, not add, yet the iso size increases | 20:33 |
| atlef | jmunro: http://www.linuxmint.com/wiki/index.php/Remastersys | 20:34 |
| DieseL`nix | whats the best way to map a windows network share? | 20:34 |
| Flannel | DieseL`nix: It can use a number of protocols, including FTP, etc. Are you using samba in this case? | 20:35 |
| DieseL`nix | nautilus in gutsy is broke, and i usually use "connect to server" to map network shares, but hey they broke that. so now i have to do it through fstab | 20:35 |
| DieseL`nix | what's the best protocol to do it? | 20:35 |
| jmunro | atlef: that appears to be based on creating a livecd from your current setup, i only want to modify the default livecd | 20:36 |
| DieseL`nix | i as trying cifs but i see it sends passwords in plain text | 20:36 |
| atlef | jmunro: well, have you allready installed it? | 20:36 |
| jmunro | i followed a tutorial and it worked fine, but the iso is 100mb bigger than before, which is odd since i only removed packages | 20:36 |
| dr0fnax | Alsa is working through pulseaudio now. What if I'll download alsa driver to support my built-in nvidia modem? Can it break my sound output? | 20:36 |
| dr0fnax | *I mean, special driver for alsa | 20:36 |
| chrismo16 | I installed wmii. where do i set it as default? | 20:37 |
| DRebellion | DieseL`nix, cifs | 20:37 |
| DRebellion | common internet file system | 20:37 |
| jmunro | this livecd is for a very specific purpose, the system im running on is my own, this livecd is being created for students | 20:37 |
| Dr_willis | chrismo16, if it dosent have a entry in the sessions menu under gdm/kdm you may need to create a desktop file for it. find 'gnome.desktop' and clone/alter it. | 20:37 |
| _plague_87 | please OP on #ubuntu-rs | 20:37 |
| DieseL`nix | DRebellion, but it sends passwords in place text?? | 20:38 |
| DieseL`nix | that's kinda useless? | 20:38 |
| DRebellion | DieseL`nix, that's what samba does, yes. | 20:38 |

| DRebellion | romme, it's just alerting you of the fact someone failed to login, which is a possible security breach attempt. | 20:40 |
| Lynet | DieseL`nix: What is it connecting to? smb/cifs/windows networking supports a bunch of different authentication methods. | 20:40 |
| romme | DRebellion: but i would like to change the email the alerts are sent to | 20:40 |
| DieseL`nix | well it's just a windows share on a win2003 box | 20:40 |
| DRebellion | romme, not sure how to do that. | 20:40 |
| DieseL`nix | i want to know what's the most secure way to map it with linux | 20:41 |
| ere4si | romme: try asking in #ubuntu-server | 20:41 |
| Sylphid|work | romme, you could change /etc/aliases | 20:41 |
| romme | Sylphid|work: thanks | 20:41 |
| Lynet | DieseL`nix: Hmm. Check the samba documentation, there should be a way to tell it to only use ntlm/ntlmv2 | 20:42 |
| Blaqlight | anyone know how to remove the xchat task bar button and just minimize it too the tray? | 20:42 |
| Sylphid|work | Blaqlight, /set gui_tray_flags - Toggle tray flags. (1=Hide to tray on exit, 2=Don't show balloons unless hidden or iconified, 4=Minimize to tray) | 20:43 |
| DieseL`nix | Lynet, i reckon nautilus smb support does that | 20:43 |
| DieseL`nix | but gutsy broke it | 20:43 |
| DieseL`nix | and the only way to fix is to get the latest nautilus - not available for gutsy yet# | 20:44 |
| DieseL`nix | i could get a .deb but apparently that's not a good idea? | 20:44 |
| chrismo16 | Dr_willis: do u mean system>>preferences>>session? | 20:44 |
| Blaqlight | Sylphid|work, thanks | 20:45 |

| Lynet | DieseL`nix: It might fail/not work. Should normally not have any really nasty effects since a .deb will most of the time uninstall fine. | 20:50 |
| Flannel | ali__: Please watch your language, and remember that the people here are volunteers. | 20:50 |

| Lynet | DieseL`nix: As in, if the new nautilus doesn't work you can uninstall it and reinstall the one from the repositories. | 20:51 |

| Boricua | :| | 20:56 |
| Blaqlight | dnathe4th, how much video ram you have on your machine, compiz uses quite a few resources | 20:56 |

| ali__ | nixnoob: and then where does emerald come in | 21:02 |
| nixnoob | ali__: you can use the regular gnome themes or you can substitute emerald for the gnome decorator emerald is prettier | 21:03 |
| ali__ | nixnoob: and at gnome looks do i get compiz themes/gtk2 themes/beryl themes/emerald themes/or metacity themes? | 21:03 |

| ali__ | nixnoob: and then what? | 21:05 |
| tj_style | i have question, cause i'm newbie in ubuntu | 21:05 |
| ali__ | nixnoob: emerald --replace metacity right? | 21:05 |
| nixnoob | ali__: you will need to do this each time you restart your computer, or you can add that command to sessions in the system > preferences menu and it will run each time your ocmputer starts. | 21:05 |
| Blaqlight | ali__, two ways, drag and drop them into the window, or by using the import button within the application. | 21:05 |
| nixnoob | ali__: emerald --replace & | 21:05 |
| ali__ | nixnoob: wait just emerald --replace & | 21:05 |

| Flannel | thesaltydog: no, its not on the desktop disk. Or at least, if it was, it would still be on the Alternate | 21:33 |
| thesaltydog | on gutsy it was on the alternate cd | 21:33 |

| doryian | ok thank you again | 21:33 |

| Sylphid|work | syscode, what was the lowest mtu you tried? | 21:34 |
| Stormx2 | Yodude, you're accessing linux shares from linux? or linux shares from windows? | 21:34 |
| Boricua | by the way is there a program to watch dvds other than totem? because i cant fast forward or put subtitle no menu either | 21:34 |

| Yodude | Stormx2: linux shares from linux | 21:35 |
| Boricua | ooo i have it install, ill try. kk | 21:35 |
| Stormx2 | Yodude, you need to use smbfs then | 21:35 |

| nixnoob | cc77: alot more ram CPU cycles. | 21:42 |
| regeya | I have my amd64 cd burnt already; last of the parts should arrive on monday. this will replace a used athlon xp machine that just burnt a psu. btw, if any devs are here, hardy is the most bulletproof release I've used to date. was even mostly trouble-free on my wife's everex stepnote. kudos. | 21:43 |
| jedi1 | Ericthegreat, depends | 21:43 |
| jedi1 | do you have deb files? | 21:43 |
| Ericthegreat | lemme see | 21:43 |
| nixnoob | cc77: dependning on the specs of the machine that may or may not make a noticable difference. | 21:43 |
| Stormx2 | regeya, why amd? | 21:43 |
| joseph_ | My desktop freezes whenever the person I'm talking with in Skype starts their video, but I can still talk to them for at least several minutes. Any ideas as to what could be causing this? It used to work fine. | 21:43 |
| atlef | Stormx2: the name of the 64bit distro | 21:43 |
| syscode | Sylphid|work: set mtu to 1394 on network/interfaces - but no joy... | 21:43 |
| Stormx2 | atlef, pardon? | 21:44 |
| cc77 | nixnoob, I'm thinking dual/quadcore machine with modern onboard card. | 21:44 |
| huy_ | joseph: may be the graphic card? | 21:44 |
| mavsman4457 | nixnoob: I tried adding the ppa repositories using the software source thing but when I updated the sources list in the terminal and tried to install the package it gave me nothing | 21:44 |
| regeya | Stormx2, no particular reason. 6 of one, 1/2 doz. other. I came very close to getting a core duo system. ohhh...you mean the distro? yeah, 64-bit amd-specific build. | 21:44 |
| NTolerance_ | cc77: IMHO the only concern would be memory consumption | 21:44 |
| Sylphid|work | syscode, try ping -s 1300 google.com | 21:44 |
| Stormx2 | No, I didn't mean the distro. I don't know what atlef is on about. | 21:44 |
| atlef | <Stormx2> regeya, why amd?3 | 21:44 |
| joseph_ | huy_: possibly, but im not sure what could have changed recently to make it a new issue | 21:44 |
| Ericthegreat | doc file lang file plugins file save file jttl_audio.conf mupen64 with cog looking things mupen64.ini the icon and a txt | 21:44 |
| Stormx2 | atlef, AMD is a processor manufacturer. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/AMD | 21:44 |
| nixnoob | cc77: as long as you arent planning on using any demanding 3d applications you should be fine with 1 GB of RAM perhaps even less. | 21:45 |
| atlef | Stormx2: yes | 21:45 |
| Sylphid|work | syscode, the -s option changes the packet size that is used | 21:45 |
| joseph_ | can anyone point me to a good place to start trying to unravel what's crashing my computer? | 21:45 |

| wexell32 | yea... look ma' grand'ma friendly linux os.... :D | 21:45 |
| cc77 | NTolerance_, really that tiny 1024x8xx something resolution would harm the performance that hard? | 21:45 |
| atlef | Stormx2: but the name of the ubuntu 64bit cd is amd64 | 21:45 |

| atlef | again <Stormx2> regeya, why amd?3 | 21:46 |
| Sylphid|work | syscode, basicly we want to find the largest number you can get replies with and set your MTU to that number +28 | 21:46 |
| syscode | Sylphid|work: pings fine | 21:46 |
| Stormx2 | atlef, I was asking him why he was going with AMD for his processor. | 21:46 |
| McShane | StormX2: Uh... okay: Someone said "I have my amd64 cd burnt already; last of the parts should arrive on monday. this will replace a used athlon xp machine that just burnt a psu." Then you said, "Why AMD?" | 21:46 |
| NTolerance_ | cc77: not much on a modern PC | 21:46 |
| cc77 | nixnoob, No I´m thinking of ubuntu worstation working with vmware sever, hosting OS's. No 3D stuff at all. | 21:46 |
| Sylphid|work | syscode, try using 1350 | 21:46 |
| atlef | Stormx2: ah, you are going to suggest a intel | 21:47 |
| Stormx2 | McShane, he also said <regeya> wish me luck; I'll be building an athlon 64 x2 system this coming week ;-) | 21:47 |
| atlef | *an | 21:47 |

| Ericthegreat | jedi you think that script is safe? | 21:47 |
| huy_ | i tried 64 cd, couldn't find the driver for my wireless card, hahahaha | 21:47 |
| nixnoob | cc77: if you dont have a dedicated graphics chip you will need a bunch of RAM. | 21:47 |
| regeya | hehe...okay, guys, I answered Stormx2's question, sorta. No particular reason. I had seriously considered getting a Core Duo machine, but went with an athon 64 system. meh...aside from that, I have no interest in participating in a flamewar, so let me elaborate that I've bought a pile of parts online and for that reason am asking for luck :-> | 21:47 |
| nixnoob | cc77: like i said it depends on what you want to do, i give my VM's 400 MB ram each and its more than enough. | 21:47 |
| Stormx2 | regeya, I hope you downloaded the mobo manual! I'm getting a new machine on monday, everything except for a case. | 21:48 |
| regeya | mainly I'm happy to be getting hardware...but we've strayed too far offtopic. in all seriousness, does anyone have a major pitfall I should watch out for on the amd64 distro? | 21:48 |
| McShane | Stormx2, right... But since this is a software support channel, one assumes that you are referring to software instead of hardware | 21:48 |

| huy_ | font rendering.. any one know how to improve it? | 21:48 |
| cc77 | nixnoob, my question was based on should I use ubuntu server or ubuntu workstation for my remote vmware server. Both situations have onboard graphics. | 21:48 |
| De_Mon | I just installed some linux headers and tried to compile a module and got the error "scripts/genksyms/genksyms: not found | 21:48 |

| Stormx2 | atlef, be more patronising. I dare you. | 21:49 |
| nixnoob | cc77: shared memory? | 21:49 |
| De_Mon | there is a scripts/genksyms directory in the headers folder, but no script... where is is? | 21:49 |

| atlef | Stormx2: no problem, dra til helvete | 21:49 |
| Stormx2 | huy_: There are font rendering options under System > Preferences > Appearence | 21:49 |
| regeya | Stormx2, atlef: hey, now, chill out...like I said, I was mainly bragging that I am getting a big pile o' hardware, asking for good luck with that, didn't mean to start either a flamewar or a snarkfest :-> | 21:50 |
| cc77 | nixnoob, that is the next step, but the host hosting vmware server should have atleast 4gb ram and if I'm lucky 8gb (depends on motherboard I choose). | 21:50 |
| regeya | and with that...I'm irc'ing on the job, am now going to sneak away from the office :-> | 21:50 |
| Blaenk | no one? how come I can't lsiten to amarok while I listen to a youtube flash video, on gnome | 21:50 |
| nixnoob | cc77: with that much RAM you need not worry about the GUI overhead it will make little difference | 21:50 |

| gord_ | Hey, is there a way to limit the speed of a cd rom drive on read? My drive speeds up and makes a lot of noise. | 21:52 |
| Stormx2 | cc77: if you're looking to have 4GB+ of ram, you'll need 64 bit. | 21:52 |
| atlef | regeya: good luck | 21:52 |
| Josdell | Hi everyone, is it possible to boot from a USB Device that needs two USB ports? Does Ubuntu read it as One External Hard Drive? | 21:52 |
| gord_ | why does it need 2 ports? | 21:52 |
| Stormx2 | cc77, unless you're dependent on wine apps and don't want to chroot, it's best to run 64bit ubuntu if you have a 64 bit processor. | 21:53 |
| chrismo16 | does anyone have experience with wmii? | 21:53 |
| Josdell | gord: for power to spind the disk | 21:53 |
| atlef | regeya: as long as you keep to nvidia and intel, you will get the best results | 21:53 |
| gord_ | Josdell, then it only uses 1 port, and 1 as a power source | 21:53 |
| jedi1 | Stormx2, forgot to add about using java | 21:53 |

| ajhtiredwolf | Hey does anyone know how to tell cheese which video device to use? | 21:54 |
| Stormx2 | Ericthegreat, depends on the kind of script. Usually double clicking it will work fine. | 21:54 |
| gord_ | Josdell, booting from usb devices depends largely on the settings available in your motherboard's bios | 21:54 |

| Sylphid|work | syscode, what was the highest you got a working ping | 21:54 |
| cc77 | Stormx2, I want just want to use ubuntu to host some OS's in vmware. That server will not be used for anything but that. | 21:54 |

| m-c | seniors already are turned off of computers -- just give them a simple way to access the internet | 22:57 |
| rand0m | true.. but i´m using myself as an example. I´m only 24 and been using computers since before i was 10. Only recently did I make the switch to Ubuntu, and there was definitely a learning curve | 22:57 |
| coolasjon | I have 2 kernels in the grub thing and the top one, after an update, which is 2.6.24-19 won't work, any help? | 22:57 |
| ursos | nameusername: you could install hardy and netbook remix. it really turns the os more intuitive. | 22:57 |
| rand0m | nameusername, i would recommend running it off a livecd first to get them used to it before completely overwriting another os | 22:57 |
| ursos | rand0m: because you were used to something else. my mom, 60y-o, never used anything but gnome | 22:58 |
| regeya | the minus, nameusername, is that you're setting someone up with something a repair shop probably won't have experience with, and some commercial websites still (ugh) develop with IE in mind. on the plus side, linux distributions tend to be fairly well organized, and both gnome and kde are fairly simple to use. | 22:58 |

| nameusername | how are the drivers for cameras with these distributions | 22:58 |
| jedi1 | coolasjon, what do you expect of us? | 22:59 |
| ursos | regeya: another plus side is that linux tends to be curious-proof. without automatic ponr dialers popping everywhere in 5 minutes of regular-guy-usage | 22:59 |
| Sylphid|work | syscode, try running sudo tcpdump -nn while pulling up a non working site and paste the output to http://paste.ubuntu.com | 22:59 |
| nameusername | as in, will they be able to plug in the camera and have that work relatively easily | 22:59 |
| ursos | rand0m: for older people you just have to have firefox, openoffice and some solitaire. | 22:59 |
| McShane | !coolasjon | doesn't work | 22:59 |
| SeveredCross | Soul_Sample: If you're on Ubuntu Hardy, you should have those, as long as you're using GNOME's regular copying. | 22:59 |

| ursos | rand0m: why would they mess with /etc anyway? | 22:59 |

| Soul_Sample | SeveredCross: yes, i'm on hardy, but i don't have them. maybe due to having to change the max_sectors thingy to 64 or something. but the copying appears to be instant, and it's certainly not because if i try to unmount i get an error and not much is actually transferred | 23:01 |

There are linux driver issues with many wifi cards these days. https://answers.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+question/32516 The cost of a wifi device may be much less than the effort required to enable and maintain a difficult to support wifi device with non-free drivers.

| Atomhunter | jack@Jack-Desktop:~$ cp ~/Documents/Programming | 23:19 |
| Atomhunter | cp: missing destination file operand after `/home/jack/Documents/Programming' | 23:19 |
| Atomhunter | What i'm i doing wrong in this command to get this error? | 23:19 |

| Atomhunter | oh.....damn......stupid letters thanks | 23:20 |
| bsund | :) | 23:20 |
| bsund | change directory | 23:20 |
| bsund | gavi, i think theres a colorscheme in vim that does what you ask for | 23:23 |
| gavi | bsund, vim is the name of the app? | 23:24 |
| amatson97 | hey hey guys | 23:24 |
| amatson97 | yo has any one got desmume running on ubuntu HH 8.04 | 23:25 |
| mwhit74 | is there a program like publisher in windon'ts for web design in linux | 23:25 |
| jpratt | Hey, I have my laptop connected to a Gateway FPD1830 and the top bar doesnt stretch all the way across the screen help? | 23:26 |
| bsund | gavi, or vim-gtk .. but it seems it only does so in a specified colorscheme and syntax and cant remember which heh.. should be able to configure but learning vim takes a while.. | 23:26 |
| gordonjcp | mwhit74: What exactly are you trying to do? | 23:26 |
| gordonjcp | gavi: gedit has a plugin that marks whitespace | 23:26 |
| failure | i have a file thats r--r--r-- | 23:26 |
| failure | ive tried to chmod this sucker in every possible way | 23:27 |
| koolranch | Hi, can someone help me with something?: I can't exit out of the blacklist in terminal | 23:27 |
| failure | i cant change ownership to root from root or the group. | 23:27 |
| bsund | gavi, check this one out http://www.vim.org/tips/tip.php?tip_id=1040 | 23:27 |
| gavi | bsund thanks | 23:27 |
| failure | "Operation not permitted" every time. | 23:27 |
| jpratt | I really need help... | 23:28 |
| gordonjcp | failure: are you sudoed? | 23:28 |
| failure | sudo -i =) | 23:28 |
| failure | i'm wearing my tuxsudo | 23:28 |
| bsund | gavi, but vim is bit tricky if you havent used it before.. really powerful editor when you learn it though | 23:28 |
| gordonjcp | jpratt: seems a bit odd | 23:28 |
| mwhit74 | gordonjcp: design a web page | 23:28 |
| gordonjcp | mwhit74: ok | 23:28 |
| jpratt | Gordonjcp: It is | 23:29 |
| gordonjcp | mwhit74: that's a fairly broad description of the task | 23:29 |
| td1231 | gavi: I recommend going over the vim-tutor if you're new to vim, I definately recommend it | 23:29 |
| gordonjcp | jpratt: can you get a screenshot of it? | 23:29 |
| the_padawan | failure: is the file your are trying to chmod on a different filesystem? ie, is it on a NTFS partition or an external drive? | 23:29 |
| gordonjcp | gavi: or you could just use gedit ;-) | 23:29 |
| failure | the_eraser yeah, its actually on a "home directory filer" | 23:29 |
| mwhit74 | gordonjcp: ahh well i dont know any code but mainly something like publisher, not real sure what kinda of details you are looking for | 23:29 |
| failure | oops that was for the_padawan | 23:29 |
| td1231 | gordonjcp: ya, that's what I used when I was new to gnu/linux in general :) | 23:30 |
| the_padawan | failure: and that is a filesystem you mounted yourself? | 23:30 |
| gordonjcp | td1231: what? | 23:30 |
| failure | i figured that had something to do with it. | 23:30 |
| mwhit74 | gordonjcp: i mean a nice user interface and suck | 23:30 |
| failure | the_padawan its actually automounted. | 23:30 |
| koolranch | Hey someone, how do I exit the blacklist in terminal? | 23:30 |
| jpratt | Gordonjcp: I got one | 23:30 |
| td1231 | gordonjcp: I used to use gedit when I was new :) | 23:30 |
| failure | its an automounted home directory. | 23:30 |
| failure | e/g /h/& | 23:30 |
| gordonjcp | mwhit74: yeah, it *is* a nice interface, and having the ability to add plugins is great | 23:30 |
| gordonjcp | mwhit74: I used to use vim when I was new to Linux, now I use gedit | 23:31 |
| glitsj16 | gavi: if you want to go the gedit route, activate the 'draw spaces' plugin for highlighting whitespace in preferences | 23:31 |
| gordonjcp | bah | 23:31 |
| gordonjcp | mwhit74: disregard ;-) | 23:31 |
| td1231 | gordonjcp: wierd | 23:31 |
| jpratt | Gordonjcp: how do i get it to you? | 23:31 |
| e2_2 | popey, ty... btw much better.. dunno what why i installed xchat-gnome | 23:31 |
| gordonjcp | td1231: I'm more focused on getting things done than pratting about with the editor | 23:31 |
| gordonjcp | jpratt: can you uplaod it somewhere? | 23:31 |
| jpratt | gordonjcp working on it | 23:32 |
| td1231 | gordonjcp: must resist flame | 23:32 |
| mwhit74 | gordonjcp: sorry i didn't follow your last 3 posts at all | 23:32 |
| gordonjcp | mwhit74: that's because I wasn't making sense | 23:32 |
| the_padawan | failure: check out the -o options for the mount command. also, check which mount options are listed in fstab, in the 4th column | 23:32 |
| daxroc | Evening all | 23:32 |
| e2_2 | popey, so much better ... cool | 23:32 |
| mwhit74 | gordonjcp: ok good thought i just went retarded or something | 23:32 |
| gordonjcp | mwhit74: I don't know what publisher is, but generally you need to know a bit about the code behind webpages to create them successfully | 23:32 |
| gordonjcp | td1231: flame eh? | 23:33 |
| frojnd | I need some help with setting network interface for my server. How can I reconfigure it ? | 23:33 |
| gordonjcp | td1231: flame away, but in #ubuntu-offtopic if you must | 23:33 |
| Blaenk | what's that website where it has deb packages, I'm trying to find super karamba | 23:33 |
| daxroc | Is there a known method for gnome panel app to adjust brightness on new sony laptops , afaik they dont use the acpi registers anymore ? | 23:33 |
| failure | the_padawan its not mounted using fstab. its mounted using /etc/auto.home | 23:33 |
| glitsj16 | Blaenk: getdeb.net perhaps ? | 23:33 |
| wfstargazer | Confused and Dazed about installing app from a .tar.gz file any quick suggestions? | 23:33 |
| failure | you know what | 23:33 |
| failure | i figured out a solution. | 23:33 |
| Blaenk | glitsj16: thanks | 23:33 |
| td1231 | gordonjcp: I meant [I] must resist [your] flame | 23:33 |
| gordonjcp | td1231: I still use vim for some things, like particularly on my laptop which is a bit slow for running X, or if I'm shelled into a server | 23:33 |
| failure | ill just ssh to the file server. | 23:33 |
| jpratt | gordonjcp: One minute | 23:33 |
| the_padawan | failure: ok | 23:33 |
| failure | im a coward i know | 23:33 |
| gordonjcp | td1231: but like I said, gedit has basically replaced anjuta, kdevelop, vim and bluefish for my editing needs | 23:34 |
| mwhit74 | gordonjcp: publisher is a program to design web pages by literally importing pictures and text, laying it out how you want it to look and setting up the links correctly then making it a fuctional web page on the net | 23:34 |
| j0nr | hey all....I have an SSH problem | 23:34 |
| gordonjcp | mwhit74: oh ok | 23:35 |
| gordonjcp | mwhit74: I don't recommend using that sort of thing | 23:35 |
| gordonjcp | mwhit74: it's not *very* hard to learn how to do it properly | 23:35 |
| mwhit74 | gordonjcp: you could almost compare it to powerpoint but just a web designing program | 23:35 |
| gordonjcp | mwhit74: haven't used powerpoint either | 23:35 |
| mwhit74 | gordonjcp: where can i learn | 23:35 |
| j0nr | added a second HDD to my server, then rebooted it and now I can't SSH into it?? | 23:35 |
| gordonjcp | mwhit74: there are loads of sites out there on the net | 23:35 |
| mwhit74 | gordonjcp: are you straight linux | 23:36 |
| aslamc_ | hey fellas! | 23:36 |
| gordonjcp | mwhit74: ooh well now, what kind of question is that? I hardly know you ;-) | 23:36 |
| === aslamc_ is now known as aslamc | ||
| jpratt | gordonjcp:ypic.com/view.php?pic=2dtt993&s=4 | 23:36 |
| jpratt | Gordonjcp: http://tinypic.com/view.php?pic=2dtt993&s=4 ** | 23:36 |
| e2_2 | aslamc, hi dude | 23:36 |
| j0nr | added a second HDD to my server, then rebooted it and now I can't SSH into it?? | 23:36 |
| j0nr | oops | 23:37 |
| frojnd | Can someone tell me how can I reconfigure my /et/network/interfaces, I've moved my server to another location with different dsl modem. Please ? | 23:37 |
| gordonjcp | mwhit74: yes, I've been using Linux pretty much exclusively for about 10 years, maybe a bit more | 23:37 |
| jpratt | and I know its the 6.06 background but im on hardy | 23:37 |
| mwhit74 | gordonjcp: it was a question to see what kinda of OS you run because eveything i have mentioned is MS stuff which is usually run on windos | 23:37 |
| gordonjcp | mwhit74: I have no recent experience of Windows, except to use a web browser and telnet, and some custom admin GUI thing | 23:37 |
| aslamc | just got opsuse11 on one of my laptops n looks great excpet i don't see package manager at the speed its supposed to be... | 23:37 |
| mwhit74 | gordonjcp: why so defensive | 23:37 |
| aslamc | its downloading slower than 10.0 | 23:37 |
| gordonjcp | mwhit74: it was a joke. I'd say laugh, but the moment has gone | 23:38 |
| gaile | guys how to enable the invidia settings | 23:38 |
| gordonjcp | jpratt: aha | 23:38 |
| gordonjcp | jpratt: right-click on the bar, click "Properties", and click "Expand" | 23:38 |
| mwhit74 | gordonjcp: ok, well say i learned how to write the code what then would you say to use in linux | 23:38 |
| gordonjcp | mwhit74: gedit ;-) | 23:38 |
| jpratt | gordonjcp it is | 23:39 |
| Flannel | aslamc: This is #ubuntu, you should try #opensuse | 23:39 |
| gordonjcp | jpratt: does it change when you uncheck it? | 23:39 |
| Quicksilva | Does anyone here have the iphone 3g? sucks having an expensive paperweight :((( | 23:39 |
| jpratt | makes it smaller | 23:39 |
| j0nr | oops | 23:39 |
| j0nr | added a second HDD to my server, then rebooted it and now I can't SSH into it?? | 23:39 |
| Flannel | j0nr: Are you mixing SATA and PATA? | 23:40 |
| === arooni________a is now known as arooni | ||
| j0nr | Flannel: huh? | 23:40 |
| mwhit74 | gordonjcp: no why you make a web page on that, are there plug ins and stuff | 23:40 |
| Flannel | j0nr: Is one of the harddrives SATA, and the other IDE? | 23:40 |
| j0nr | Flannel: no both IDE | 23:40 |
| arooni | folks: is there an efax.com viewer for ubuntu hardy? | 23:40 |
| gaile | anybody knows how to enable the nvidia settings? | 23:40 |
| Flannel | j0nr: And where did you connect the new drive? (and where was the old drive?) | 23:41 |
| gordonjcp | mwhit74: well I don't really use many plugins when I'm doing web site code in it | 23:41 |
| j0nr | Flannel: so far I just plugged in the second HDD, it is purely storage space, not even mounted yet...this is why I cant see why anything would have changed | 23:41 |
| Flannel | arooni: http://packages.ubuntu.com/hardy/efax-gtk | 23:41 |
| j0nr | Flannel: the new drive is on the middle of the IDE cable | 23:41 |
| gordonjcp | mwhit74: one thing that's very handy is it has tabs along the top so you can have many files open at once | 23:41 |
| mwhit74 | gordonjcp: ok well it looks like i need to lean some code. is it java or html that i need to learn | 23:41 |
| gordonjcp | mwhit74: so you've got your HTML template open in one, a CSS file open in another | 23:41 |
| gordonjcp | mwhit74: html | 23:41 |
| candive | sgaile, ystem, preferences appearance, visual effects. | 23:42 |
| mwhit74 | gordonjcp: CSS? | 23:42 |
| arooni | Flannel, that doesnt open .efax files from efax.com does it? | 23:42 |
| gordonjcp | mwhit74: if you want some good examples, look at http://www.opendesigns.org/ | 23:42 |
| gordonjcp | mwhit74: "Cascading Style Sheets" - basically it's a thing that tells the page how to look | 23:42 |
| candive | gaile, system, preferences appearance, visual effects. | 23:42 |
| andycas | What is the default root password | 23:42 |
| gordonjcp | mwhit74: we should take this to -offtopic | 23:42 |
| gaile | system->administration->Nvidia X server settings | 23:42 |
| gordonjcp | andycas: there isn't one | 23:42 |
| mwhit74 | gordonjcp: well it looks like i need to learn some code then | 23:42 |
| gordonjcp | mwhit74: it's probably best | 23:42 |
| mwhit74 | gordonjcp: yea prolly | 23:43 |
| andycas | gordonjcp: When i left psw blank it didnt log in | 23:43 |
| gaile | You do not appear to be using the NVIDIA X driver. Please edit your X configuration file (just run `nvidia-xconfig` as root), and restart the X server. | 23:43 |
| j0nr | Flannel: do you think adding this 2nd HDD would have this effect though? I can VNC in no problem | 23:43 |
| gaile | i just installed the envyNG | 23:43 |
| gordonjcp | mwhit74: I know it seems hard to begin with, but it's not *really* and you'll be able to make cleaner faster sites ;-) | 23:43 |
| Flannel | j0nr: Oh, you can VNC in to it? No. If its booting, then its not a hardware issue. | 23:43 |
| vaportrailnew123 | how can i get the default picture viewer to show animated gifs? | 23:43 |
| gordonjcp | mwhit74: incidentally I charge about 200 quid an hour to clean up the mess that Dreamweaver leaves ;-) | 23:43 |
| gordonjcp | andycas: correct | 23:43 |
| Flannel | j0nr: I thought your boot sequence was messed up, but VNC means its up. | 23:43 |
| gordonjcp | andycas: that would be because there is no password set | 23:43 |
| Flannel | arooni: I have no idea. | 23:43 |
| mwhit74 | gordonjcp: quid? and i will have to look into that | 23:43 |
| frojnd | I can ping my local hosts, but I can't ping the www.internet.net Any ideas what could be missed in /etc/network/interfaces ? | 23:44 |
| jussi01 | gaile: sudo nvidia-xconfig | 23:44 |
| gordonjcp | mwhit74: "quid" == GB Pounds | 23:44 |
| Atomhunter | gordonjcp: what type of mess? i have dreamweaver i use in my xp for web design | 23:44 |
| j0nr | Flannel: this is what I thought, but since i added the HDD is when I have been unable to ssh into it | 23:44 |
| gordonjcp | Atomhunter: have you looked at the code it produces? | 23:44 |
| jedi1 | good night | 23:44 |
| gaile | jussi01: idid, command not found | 23:44 |
| Atomhunter | gordonjcp: i guess but it's not as nasty as Frontpages..... | 23:44 |
| mwhit74 | gordonjcp: oh i think i have heard of that | 23:44 |
| DeviN__ | can someone explain this to me? I just got a laptop and whatim guessing it has a stuck pixel, its stuck on red but it goes away then comes back so whats that mean? | 23:44 |
| gordonjcp | Atomhunter: yeah, fortunately I haven't run across much Frontpage | 23:44 |
| Flannel | j0nr: You can VNC in though, right? So we can diagnose from there. First, check that ssh is running, we'll try restarting it, etc. | 23:44 |
| travis_ | what is the best app to convert ogg video into avi? | 23:45 |
| gordonjcp | DeviN__: that you have an intermittently stuck pixel? | 23:45 |
| krkek | I have an intel core 2 duo cpu but installed ubuntu from the i386 image (been using it for a while now). should I go for the amd64 image? what would be the easiest way to update and not break anything? | 23:45 |
| j0nr | Flannel: I think i have tried restarting... /etc/init.d/ssh restart | 23:45 |
| mwhit74 | gordonjcp: is the language easy enough i can teach myself | 23:45 |
| gordonjcp | mwhit74: oh yeah, definitely | 23:45 |
| vaportrailnew123 | what program should i use to view animated gifs? | 23:45 |
| andycas | gordonjcp: How do i set a password? (I do not have a sudo user) | 23:45 |
| jin_ | krkek, just stick with the i386 version | 23:45 |
| gordonjcp | mwhit74: grab a template from opendesigns.org and have a look at it, and google for "html tutorial" | 23:46 |
| DeviN__ | how can it be a stuck pixel and go away and come back? | 23:46 |
| arooni | is there a way to view .efx files (efax.com's stupid properitrary file format) .... on ubuntu hardy? | 23:46 |
| gordonjcp | andycas: uhm, you should fix sudo ;-) | 23:46 |
| Atomhunter | gordonjcp: I have to use both Dreamweaver CS3 (which i think may be the cleanest), and Frontpage.......and frontpage is so horrible it leaves so much horrible code, you look at a page made with Frontpage and you can hardly read it | 23:46 |
| mwhit74 | gordonjcp: kinda meaning that i am no expert coder i just took my first C++ class ever ( only coding i have ever done ) but i am average at it i guess | 23:46 |
| amatson97 | can some one help me i am a bit f a n00b but when i ./configure somthign i always get packages that are missing and i can nto find them | 23:46 |
| gordonjcp | Atomhunter: I work in a studio full of Mac heads, and code away in Ubuntu ;-) | 23:46 |
| mwhit74 | gordonjcp: i guess i just dont think like a programmer, i think like an engineer | 23:46 |
| andycas | gordonjcp: How, i have no sudoers, i cant access root to give myself sudo rights either | 23:46 |
| gordonjcp | mwhit74: it's surprisingly easy, you'll get your head around it | 23:47 |
| frojnd | I can ping my local hosts, but I can't ping the www.internet.net Any ideas what could be missed in /etc/network/interfaces ? Anyone ? I'm not so familiar with ubntu server... | 23:47 |
| gordonjcp | andycas: you're in a pickle | 23:47 |
| td1231 | amatson97: go to synaptic and find the packages that are required | 23:47 |
| andycas | gordonjcp: recovery mode should log me in as a root though, yes? | 23:47 |
| gordonjcp | andycas: you can't go root because you've lost sudo? | 23:47 |
| amatson97 | i have tried that i can not see them | 23:47 |
| gordonjcp | andycas: it should | 23:47 |
| Flannel | j0nr: Does it give you any errors? | 23:47 |
| andycas | gordonjcp: So how would i give sudo right to my user in there? | 23:47 |
| krkek | jin_, fair enough, thanks :) that was my other option. the only drawback so far has been firefox, it isn't using both cores and it's pretty noticeable.. would compiling it myself help? | 23:47 |
| gordonjcp | andycas: ok, so what did you do, change your groups without remembering to leave yourself in "admin"? | 23:48 |
| Atomhunter | gordonjcp: lol i wish i had a mac.......i'm digging Ubuntu right now, learning python, i know enough HTML to code by had a decent page, but it is quicker and easier to make a 10+ page site in DW than to hand code it | 23:48 |
| glitsj16 | amatson97: do you have build-essentials installed ? | 23:48 |
| mwhit74 | gordonjcp: and you say i can make it work in gedit. i guess i will have to do my research cause that just seems crazy to me. | 23:48 |
| vaportrailnew123 | can someone please tell me how to view animated gifs? | 23:48 |
| amatson97 | No package 'atk' found,No package 'pango' found No package 'cairo' found | 23:48 |
| jin_ | krkek, no, it won't help. | 23:48 |
| gordonjcp | Atomhunter: when you say "10+ page site", do you mean ten static HTML pages all broadly similar? | 23:48 |
| krkek | jin_, okay, thanks | 23:48 |
| gordonjcp | mwhit74: you edit the file in gedit, and view it in your browser - it's pretty straightforward | 23:48 |
| amatson97 | build essentials i am sure got them | 23:48 |
| gordonjcp | vaportrailnew123: open it in a browser? | 23:49 |
| j0nr | Flannel: http://pastebin.ubuntu-uk.org/972 | 23:49 |
| gordonjcp | andycas: what did you do that might have caused the problem? | 23:49 |
| andycas | gordonjcp: I installed new shiny 8.04, but my username was bad, so i tried to change it but i couldnt, so i created a new one and immediately deleted the old sudo one | 23:49 |
| mwhit74 | gordonjcp: ok and what is the CSS thing for? it sounds alot like publisher without the interface and its in code | 23:49 |
| gordonjcp | andycas: oh ok | 23:49 |
| Atomhunter | gordonjcp: with spry, and same look, but different bodies, but those each are used to make more | 23:49 |
| gaile | hey guys, sudo nvidia-xconfig <-- command not found, why is it missing? i just installed the envyNG | 23:49 |
| vaportrailnew123 | gordon: i can open it in an internet browser, but i want to be able to open in a normal picture view | 23:49 |
| e2_2 | why doesn't flash work with ubuntu? | 23:50 |
| max_ | print "Hi"; | 23:50 |
| Flannel | andycas: Just reboot to the recovery console, and usermod -G admin -a [username] (don't forget the -G or the -a) | 23:50 |
| max_ | Hey all I am a noob at Linux | 23:50 |
| gordonjcp | andycas: that's easy then - log into the recovery console, and say "usermod -G -a admin <username>" | 23:50 |
| max_ | Although I am currently learning | 23:50 |
| Trenskow | can someone help me getting my sound chipset setup on macbook3,1 with hardy heron | 23:50 |
| vaportrailnew123 | im trying to configure my nvidia drivers and i got this error | 23:50 |

| Atomhunter | max_: ME TOO:-D | 23:51 |
| Trenskow | but no sound | 23:51 |
