| azexia1 | dr_Willis: my first post had the dmesg output, there is no device made | 00:00 |
|---|---|---|
| gnuB_Chris | what is command line for rebooting hardy? | 00:00 |
| Seveas | azexia1, wouuld you mind giving a link to that post? | 00:00 |
| dr_Willis | azexia1, from what i recall researching 'sd' cards normally work. - but it depends on the interface the laptop has to the reader.. my last laptop actually used the 'usb' interface for the reader. My other laptop used some TexasInstruments interface. (from what i learned from lspci) | 00:00 |
| azexia1 | Seveas: i mean do they normally work? it's a new device so two unknowns i'm afraid, 1) card 2) card reader then it could be software | 00:00 |
| Seveas | gnuB_Chris, sudo reboot | 00:00 |
| Seveas | azexia1, and pastebin the output of lspci | 00:01 |
| Seveas | dr_Willis, yeah the t-i ones suck | 00:01 |
| gnuB_Chris | I tried that...it returns input/output error. system booted in RO mode | 00:01 |
| Seveas | gnuB_Chris, sudo mount -o remount,rw / | 00:01 |
| gnuB_Chris | i can su to root and try with the sam results | 00:01 |
| Seveas | then reboot | 00:01 |
| Shujah | I thought ? can't be unmounted? | 00:02 |
| Shujah | */* | 00:02 |
| maxen_ | what is the different between ubuntu and kubuntu? >>>> I am new in linux thanks | 00:02 |
| Seveas | Shujah, / can't be unmounted, but -o remount,rw will only make it read-write | 00:02 |
| jbroome | maxen_: gnome vs kde | 00:02 |
| Seveas | maxen_, different desktop environment | 00:03 |

| Buckland7777 | when i try to install java, it gives me an error: there's no space left. I'm running from a live cd, so is there any way i can install java to a flash card? | 00:03 |
| Buckland7777 | sorry | 00:03 |
| Shujah | ok | 00:03 |
| Buckland7777 | if anyone respondd | 00:03 |
| gnuB_Chris | ..sda1 is write-protected, mounting read-only | 00:03 |
| IndyGunFreak | maxen_: google for screenshots of both, and pertty much what you see, is the difference | 00:03 |
| Buckland7777 | i didn't scroll down | 00:03 |
| Seveas | gnuB_Chris, is this a usbdisk install? | 00:03 |
| maxen_ | thanks guys ^_^ | 00:03 |
| yojesus | Shujah: ty | 00:03 |

| Buckland7777 | anyone know how to install java to a custom location? | 00:04 |
| casey_ | I'm having a problem during boot and shutdown. After it shows the GRUB is starting message, it doesn't show the Ubuntu bootscreen and when I'm shutting down it doesn't shutdown. It just goes black and I have to turn the power off. Any ideas? | 00:05 |
| IndyGunFreak | !register > IndyGunFreak | 00:05 |
| ubottu | IndyGunFreak, please see my private message | 00:05 |
| grobda24 | Buckland7777, ... can you use symlinks in that location ? | 00:05 |
| Seveas | azexia1, hmm... that looks like the driver is working | 00:05 |
| kiff^ | hi to all! | 00:05 |
| grobda24 | :) | 00:06 |
| Buckland7777 | you're speakin a foreign language there, i'm fairly new to ubuntu, so you'll have to explain things to me | 00:06 |
| azexia1 | Seveas: yeah, driver looks fine | 00:06 |
| gnuB_Chris2 | sorry, gnuB_Chris failed to load the CGI. I didn't get any new advice. | 00:06 |
| Seveas | gnuB_Chris2, ? | 00:06 |
| ompaul | !test | 00:06 |
| ubottu | Failed! | 00:06 |
| gnuB_Chris2 | mount -o remount returned sda1 write-protected, mounting read-only | 00:06 |
| Seveas | gnuB_Chris, is this a usbdisk install? | 00:07 |
| Baby_Shambl3s | ompaul: huh? | 00:07 |
| Buckland7777 | grobda, how would i find out? | 00:07 |
| grobda24 | Buckland7777, ... search for help on "symbolic links" in the forums. They're a bit like shortcuts in windows (I say a bit). | 00:07 |
| gnuB_Chris2 | no. full install was working fine when I left work yesterday. I can ssh to the box, but everything is RO now | 00:07 |
| kapace | hello, i can't seem to access the preferences on my panel, i made the icons too big and now i can't click on the panel | 00:07 |
| Buckland7777 | ok, now that makes a little more sense | 00:07 |
| afallenhope | hey I was wondering if there's a way of disabling the startup sounds.. I went to the "System->Preferences->Sound" and it doesn't show any in use... but everytime I reboot I relogin | 00:07 |
| afallenhope | sorry I mean I hear the sounds | 00:08 |
| Ohzie | How do I use chmod to make a certain user unable to mount certain devices? | 00:08 |
| Ohzie | !chmod | 00:08 |
| ubottu | An explanation of how files and directories are organized on Ubuntu, and how they can be manipulated, can be found at https://help.ubuntu.com/community/LinuxFilesystemTreeOverview | 00:08 |
| IndyGunFreak | afallenhope: are you saving your changes?.. cuz i'ev turned off hte sounds no prob.; | 00:08 |
| grobda24 | Buckland7777, it means that you can make it look like Java is on one place when it's really in another. | 00:08 |
| kapace | !panel | 00:08 |
| ubottu | Sorry, I don't know anything about panel | 00:08 |
| Buckland7777 | i'm almost positive that i can then | 00:09 |
| Seveas | afallenhope, system -> admin -> loginscreen -> (tab) accesibility | 00:09 |
| azexia1 | Seveas: so what would you suggest i do? | 00:09 |
| gnuB_Chris2 | looks like FSTAB has a failsafe to remount in RO, but I can't seem to restart the system to clear that | 00:09 |
| IndyGunFreak | hmm, i thought he was referring to the login tone.. the africans humming | 00:09 |
| ompaul | Ohzie, that is now how you do that, you use the groups to do that: system -> admin -> users and groups | 00:09 |
| Seveas | azexia1, wait for the other cardreader to arrive before you draw conclusion | 00:09 |
| Seveas | or find a known-working cf card to test | 00:09 |
| Shujah | kapace, you cant right click panels | 00:09 |
| afallenhope | Seveas, thanks! that did it | 00:09 |
| ircleuser | hi, i'm new to this. I've got a question about how the ubuntu server edition will work on an older computer | 00:09 |
| Kagee | Is there any way i can make X (org) use every other " as « and » ? So if i type """"", any GUI gets «»«»« ? | 00:09 |
| Ohzie | ompaul: What's the program for users and groups? Right now I have no panel. :P | 00:09 |
| azexia1 | Seveas: sounds wise, thanks for the help =) | 00:10 |
| kapace | Shujah: it works for the other one | 00:10 |
| Seveas | gnuB_Chris2, could be that your disk went bad. Look in /var/log/kern.log | 00:10 |
| ompaul | Ohzie, log out and back in - should restore it | 00:10 |
| Buckland7777 | grobda, i think i can, how would i go about doing so? | 00:10 |
| Ohzie | ompaul: Specifically, I'm trying to build a kiosk, so I don't want it to have a panel | 00:10 |
| Shujah | kapace, so in one panel top/bottom you cant right click it? | 00:10 |
| Ohzie | but some certain places can still be accessed and I need to make them inaccessible. :[ | 00:10 |
| ircleuser | would the server thing work on an an a compaq presario? | 00:10 |
| dr_Willis | !find kiosk | 00:11 |
| ubottu | Found: kiosktool, datakiosk | 00:11 |
| Ohzie | Goodness gracious me! | 00:11 |
| ompaul | Ohzie, that is a single user the admin sorts out permissions for the future | 00:11 |
| Ohzie | Thank you dr_Willis | 00:11 |
| ircleuser | windows me? | 00:11 |
| dr_Willis | Ohzie, i know that kde has some kiosk features.. not sure about gnome | 00:11 |

| dr_Willis | Ohzie, then there are some browser-kiosk live cd's ive seen.. and kiosk extensions for firefox. | 00:11 |
| Ohzie | ompaul: I don't do the windows thing. :[ | 00:11 |
| ompaul | woops wrong tab there | 00:12 |

| kapace | Shujah: thats right | 00:12 |
| Shujah | kapace, > Terminal> gconf-editor> apps> panels> toplevels> top & bottom panels <-change the size of panel | 00:12 |
| kapace | cause all the icons took space | 00:12 |

| anticreeps | Hey i got a question i was told i can ask here, i did pppoeconf and all ect but when i try to connect to internet it says pap authenticate fail... anyone know why? | 00:13 |
| ompaul | gnuB_Chris2, not without physical access guess you got to visit machine | 00:13 |
| orangey | I was wondering how to copy ubuntu from one harddrive to another. | 00:13 |
| Shujah | anticreeps, dsl or dialup | 00:14 |
| anticreeps | dsl | 00:14 |
| gnuB_Chris2 | my buffer stopped again. I don't see any responses | 00:14 |
| ompaul | gnuB_Chris2, not without physical access guess you got to visit machine | 00:14 |
| Shujah | anticreeps, pap authetication failure means your login/password doesnt match to what was allocated to you by isp | 00:14 |
| uatec | Hello there | 00:14 |
| nietoyface | buenas tardes!!! | 00:15 |
| anticreeps | hmm | 00:15 |
| uatec | i'm trying to doesome commands that require me to use sudo | 00:15 |
| Ohzie | orangey: wouldn't it be something like sudo cp / /media/name_for_your_other_hard_drive | 00:15 |
| crashanddie | When I try to pair my mouse by going into the bluetooth preferences > services > input services > add, it "sees" my mouse (only the mac address, no name), when I try to connect to it, it just sits there for a while, and then all the bluetooth windows disappear | 00:15 |
| === USER_ is now known as qwerty | ||
| uatec | but whenever i do i get: sudo: timestamp too far in the future: Jul 13 01:00:40 2008 | 00:15 |
| uatec | what'sup with that? | 00:15 |
| uatec | i've tried to do sudo -k and sudo -K to clear the timestamp but it just gives me the same messagewhen i try to do that | 00:16 |
| uatec | how can i fix sudo? | 00:16 |
| Ohzie | orangey: but after you do that you'd have to install grub to the drive and delete the /boot folder and remount the new boot partition as /boot. | 00:16 |
| anticreeps | i see, maybe thats it but im sure i put right password ect, i will retry | 00:16 |
| crashanddie | Also, when I try to use hcitool scan, it sees my mouse (BT mac address), but no name, just "n/a". When I try to --connect to it, it times out, with the message "Can't get device information: Function not implemented" | 00:16 |
| Ohzie | orangey: that would make a bootable copy of your current system, if I'm not an idiot. | 00:16 |
| Shujah | anticreeps, you ought to be connecting via network | 00:16 |
| Ohzie | orangey: But beware, I'm kind of new to this, so I might be an idiot | 00:16 |
| anticreeps | like thru my hub? | 00:16 |
| LordFlashy | the sun java update broke my adept | 00:16 |
| IndyGunFreak | Ohzie: don't worry, if you're an idiot in here, people love jumping on you and telling you.. :) | 00:17 |
| Ohzie | IndyGunFreak: Then I'll assume I'm right, because nobody has told me I'm an idiot. | 00:17 |
| IndyGunFreak | lol | 00:17 |
| Ohzie | orangey: IndyGunFreak says I'm right, so go with what I said. Apparently I am awesome. | 00:17 |
| Shujah | anticreeps, once you started ubuntu your router should have auto-configured on zero config or roaming mode | 00:17 |
| IndyGunFreak | Ohzie: lol, i iddn't say that.. i don't know the answer, just saying if you were giving bad advice, you'd have gotten about 12 PMs..lol | 00:18 |
| qwerty | hello | 00:18 |
| anticreeps | ok | 00:18 |
| Seveas | Ohzie, you're an idiot | 00:18 |
| uatec | ooo | 00:18 |
| Seveas | :) | 00:18 |
| uniXrex | Hey, do the Hibernate and Standby options not work in Ubuntu 8.04? (I have installed the server edition, and then the GNOME GUI) | 00:18 |
| Shujah | anticreeps, see the network sign on you notification area? | 00:18 |
| Ohzie | Seveas: :( | 00:18 |
| Seveas | Ohzie, sorry, couldn't resist :) | 00:19 |
| uatec | better question, how can i make apt-get use the internet instead of just the CDs? | 00:19 |
| anticreeps | yes | 00:19 |
| richiefrich | ok why is there no icon to install this OS? i booted into the special graphics (is it kubuntu) i need it for linuxmce | 00:19 |
| Ohzie | Seveas: I assumed as much. =) Your lack of actually correcting the advice I gave orangey leads me to believe I am still awesome. So an awesome idiot, I shall be. | 00:19 |
| richiefrich | and i asked in #kubuntu | 00:19 |
| anticreeps | and it says connected 100mbps ect | 00:19 |
| Seveas | uatec, fix your sources.list (system -> admin -> software sources) | 00:19 |
| richiefrich | no one talks | 00:19 |
| anticreeps | id have to reboot my comp and retry | 00:19 |
| Shujah | uatec, open synaptic go to setting > repos and untick cd | 00:20 |
| Seveas | Ohzie, that would be a cool nickname, "Awesome Idiot" | 00:20 |
| richiefrich | i have a VIA chipset so i needed the special graphics | 00:20 |
| ephraim | Hey everyone | 00:20 |
| uatec | oh cool | 00:20 |
| richiefrich | and now i am booted to kde and i see no installer icon | 00:20 |
| ompaul | Seveas, you could register it if you wanted to ;-) | 00:20 |
| * ompaul runs | 00:20 | |
| uatec | thans Seveas , Shujah | 00:20 |
| Shujah | anticreeps, dont reboot open it > manual config | 00:20 |
| Ohzie | richiefrich: Does the normal vga driver in xorg work? :( | 00:20 |
| Seveas | Ohzie, btw, using cp for that is wrong. You need rsync with the proper flags to copy a system and keep it usable. So idiot it is :) | 00:20 |
| anticreeps | <--- not pro at this, kinda noobish ;*> | 00:21 |
| Ohzie | Seveas: Damnit. | 00:21 |
| richiefrich | Ohzie: yeah i am in kkde | 00:21 |
| Buckland7777 | what size disk does ubuntu need to install to? | 00:21 |
| richiefrich | Ohzie: i see no installer | 00:21 |
| richiefrich | Ohzie: whats the svript called | 00:21 |
| Ohzie | richiefrich: That's rather unfortunate, and I wish I could help. :[ | 00:21 |
| Shujah | anticreeps, most of us here are noobs :P noobs helping noobs | 00:21 |
| anticreeps | :) | 00:21 |
| richiefrich | SO no one knows what the installer sscript is called> | 00:22 |
| richiefrich | ?? | 00:22 |
| ompaul | Ohzie, or you could use dd for a bitwise copy down to partition size best done with a disk the same size or larger | 00:22 |
| Seveas | ompaul, you reading planet gnome? | 00:22 |
| ompaul | Seveas, no I guess I should | 00:22 |
| Ohzie | ompaul: That sounds sexy. I should write down 'dd' and look it up later. | 00:22 |
| ompaul | pm url | 00:22 |
| Ohzie | because that would be a useful tool | 00:22 |
| Seveas | ompaul, neh, just had a joke in mind that I won't tell now :) | 00:22 |
| Ohzie | orangey: I hope you're paying attention, because they're talking about how to do what you want to do | 00:22 |
| Seveas | Ohzie, dd is nice. I install windows with it | 00:22 |
| Shujah | dd can be mean :P | 00:23 |
| DemisM | dd was my ex | 00:23 |
| Seveas | Shujah, dd needs to be handled with care. It can make or break you. | 00:23 |
| Seveas | DemisM, locky you my ex was only AA | 00:23 |
| uatec | right, i'm trying to activate the driver for my graphics card, but i get the error message "the software source for the package xorg-driver-fglrx is not enabled" | 00:24 |
| uatec | what am i supposed to do about that? | 00:24 |
| orangey | ohzie: I'm listening : ) | 00:24 |
| Shujah | uatec, go to menu > system > hardware drivers & tick your driver | 00:24 |

| Shujah | yeah | 00:25 |
| uatec | that's what i was trying to do | 00:25 |
| uatec | when the error came up | 00:25 |
| uatec | ahaha | 00:25 |

| Shujah | gman_, whats wrong with sound? | 00:26 |

| gman_ | well installed ubuntu again and my speakers work they are new andi put n a cd and the sound dosent work still | 00:27 |
| crimsun | richiefrich: which installer? | 00:27 |

| crimsun | gman_: what type of speakers? usb? | 00:28 |
| Seveas | richiefrich, ubiquity | 00:28 |
| gnuB_Chris_ | so to sum up my problem again, I *think* my server failed and remounted the filesystem RO. according to fstab, this is possible. now I want to restart the server remotely. I can't seem to force it down | 00:28 |
| crimsun | richiefrich: I meant desktop or alternate/server. | 00:28 |

| crimsun | gman_: on the wiki/DebuggingSoundProblems, there's an alsa-info.sh script. Please download (save) it and run it using bash. | 00:29 |
| gnuB_Chris_ | Kagee..tried sudo and su. both return input/output error | 00:29 |

| sako | whats the best media player for ubuntu? Amarok? | 00:30 |
| richiefrich | VIA | 00:30 |
| crimsun | richiefrich: right, as Seveas mentioned, for desktop images, ubiquity is responsible. | 00:30 |
| gnuB_Chris_ | tried mount -o remount; returns sda1 is write protected. remounting RO. yes. it is a webserver | 00:30 |

| Seveas | Derander, edit /etc/init.d/courier-imap. Make the second line read: exit 0 | 00:34 |

| Derander | seveas: thanks, it worked :-) | 00:34 |
| dr_Willis | sudo halt, would power off i belive. | 00:34 |
| cirkit | gnuB_Chris_: if you just type 'mount' does that also return I/O error? | 00:35 |
| edge | yes halt allow to shut down | 00:35 |
| gnuB_Chris_ | mount returns options | 00:35 |

| r3mix | or compile it as .so or whatever | 00:36 |
| Kagee | cirkit: I/O might be sudo | 00:36 |

| andresj | hey there is a new openarena package for 0.7.7, but the -data package is not available yet. I have to get it from getdeb.net, but I think it should be put into the official repositories. | 00:40 |
| gnuB_Chris_ | i think the problem is that the root fs loads in fstab as relatime,errors=remount-ro | 00:40 |
| td123 | chi, so please explain your problem or don't ask at all | 00:40 |
| r3mix | can someone tell me how to compile a c file into a shared object | 00:40 |
| cirkit | gnuB_Chris_: do you have pmount installed? | 00:41 |
| corky | ok.. may i ask why the hell you guys removed the original TTY's from ubuntu since 7.10?! | 00:41 |
| corky | this is so annoying! | 00:41 |
| Derander | corky: ? | 00:41 |
| corky | especially when X fails | 00:41 |
| Derander | corky: like alt+f1 | 00:41 |
| Derander | corky: ? | 00:41 |
| gnuB_Chris_ | cirkit: no | 00:41 |
| Seveas | Derander, looks like you deleted lots of configfiles manually. remove all packages related to dovecot, mysql and courier and try again | 00:41 |
| corky | yes | 00:41 |
| blue112 | Sometimes (often), Ubuntu crashes. Just before crashing, it says "Erreur de segmentation" (core dumped in english I guess) and close every program (nautilus, metacity, eclipse). Not all at the time, but with about 3/4 minutes between each. When I try to reboot X (ctrl + alt + backspace), I fall back in console mode, where I have a lot of errors. There I do the sysreq keys, but after few (S, R) it really crashes, and doesn't answer to | 00:41 |
| blue112 | any key. | 00:41 |
| Derander | seveas: mmkay. | 00:41 |
| corky | Like alt+f1 Derander | 00:41 |
| andresj | to be clear, the openarena_0.7.7 is in the official repositories but openarena-data_0.7.7 is not there, only in getdeb.net :) | 00:41 |

| Derander | corky: they're not gone, you're experiencing a bug that I had once | 00:41 |
| Seveas | blue112, looks like bad memory or a corrupt harddisk | 00:41 |
| EnMasse187 | thanks seveas | 00:42 |
| td123 | corky: what do you mean remove corky, it is ctrl + alt + f (1-7) | 00:42 |

| cirkit | gnuB_Chris_: You may want to make sure your fstab has this entry for that ext 3 file system of yours: rw,user,noauto,uid=500,gid=500 0 0 | 00:42 |
| Derander | corky: Oh, that I didn't have - I just had a black screen - nevermind :x | 00:42 |

| Derander | corky: I've got an 8800gtx in this box. It was back with gutsy that I had the problem, so I don't remember the solution - but it involved tweaking framebuffers | 00:43 |

| AcBush | Hey Guys...I'm trying to install an RPM and it says The program 'rpm' is currently not installed. You can install it by typing sudo apt-get install rpm. Well, I do that and I get this: Package rpm is not available, but is referred to by another package. -- Any suggestions? | 01:04 |
| eftex | i have two sata hard-drives and installed osx on the first one... now my ubuntu-linux does not start anymore but i can see the partitions if i boot with a ubuntu live-cd... is the ubuntu-bootmanager or mbr installed on the first disk despite the ubuntu itself is installed on the 2nd disk? | 01:04 |
| Seveas | eftex, yup | 01:05 |
| shady6507 | Shujah: what exactly m i looking for? I see dev/sda for the disk and sda1 for the device, but in grub i see it on dev/sda1 and it looks like this...title:XP, rootnoverify (hd0,0), makeactive, chainloader +1 | 01:05 |
| eftex | Seveas: oh... :( can i install a mbr or bootmangaer on the 2nd disk to repair the boot for my ubuntu? | 01:05 |
| nickrud | AcBush you do not want to install via an rpm, you want a deb. What are you installing? | 01:05 |
| eftex | Seveas i would prefer not to touch the first hd | 01:05 |
| Seveas | eftex, dunno about macs | 01:05 |
| eftex | Seveas its a pc | 01:06 |

| dunas | Help. My display is normally 1440x900, and I managed to configure my xorg.conf to support that. I changed from KDE to GNOME, and uninstalled several KDE packages, and then restarted my X server. Suddenly, it wants to force 800x600 mode, and when I try to change it, it only changes the desktop's size- the room that's displayed remains the same. | 01:06 |
| eftex | okay thanks Seveas i knew its about grub but i was not sure if that is possible because i dont want to destroy the osx | 01:07 |
| nickrud | AcBush heh. you unpack it, and run the installer in it. tar.gz is a compressed archive | 01:07 |
| eftex | i want it to be seperated on each disk | 01:07 |
| dunas | x_x | 01:07 |
| Derander | eftex: Oo, I'm running a hackintosh too. | 01:07 |

| gman_ | Shujah:ok I saved it on my destop | 01:07 |
| shady6507 | Shujah: yes thats what i saw | 01:08 |
| Derander | eftex: The way I have things set up it just boots off hd#1, GRUB there takes care of everything. I don't know if you can put an MBR on disk #2 also | 01:08 |
| shady6507 | Shujah: on the fdisk -l command | 01:08 |
| gnuB_Chris_ | cir: apacheclt doesn't exist. I did apache2 as part of the lamp install. I think I use apache2 -k stop, but I don't have it in su path, so I am trying to locate it | 01:08 |
| Derander | eftex: Oh, read the question. I'm not an expert - but if you install an MBR on the second one and then use your bios to read that first, you should be in business | 01:08 |
| Shujah | shady6507, now change the xp address in grub/menu.lst by sudo gedit | 01:08 |

| shady6507 | im not sure what to change, you see what my grub file says for th address of XP, its (hd0,0), is that what I am supposed to change? | 01:10 |
| eftex | Derander: thats what i am now trying... but i want to "repair" my ubuntu its not a new install | 01:10 |
| eftex | (hd1,0) <-- thats the 2nd harddisk first partition right? | 01:10 |
| Derander | eftex: yes | 01:10 |
| shady6507 | Shujah:^ | 01:10 |
| eftex | k that should be fine since sdb is the harddisk on which linux runs and sda the one with osx | 01:10 |
| dunas | Ok, a little something else. Apparently it's convinced the monitor to run in 800x600, while it itself still responds to my commands. What do I do? | 01:11 |
| gnuB_Chris_ | ah...bingo, thanks. apache down | 01:11 |
| Derander | eftex: I don't think you'll have to repair anything, grub is installed by default - just switch the boot order in BIOS | 01:11 |
| AcBush | nickrud: Hey...There is vmware-install.pl and FILES, and INSTALL and some folders...what do I run? and how? | 01:11 |

| tobmalf | hey does anyone know what the new taskbar icon effects are listed under in compiz? (icon fly out, upon clicking) | 01:31 |
| micky | Seveas probaby i've entered the ip of ( ns1.nowlive.ro ) when i registered the domain.. hmm cant really remember thou :) anyway, thanks for the help | 01:31 |
| tobmalf | well, that would happen sooner or later if you go with postfix+courier :) | 01:32 |
| Seveas | micky, your registrar registers the domain with the .ro nameservers for you | 01:32 |
| Zamadatx | hey i need help with my swap file | 01:32 |
| Zamadatx | i created it but dont know how to save it | 01:32 |
| Seveas | !ops | tobmalf is a bot or just repeating things others said. Annoying anyway | 01:32 |
| dr_Willis | save? - how did you create it Zamadatx ? | 01:32 |
| tobmalf | think, to me, the holy spirit is just across the planet.. | 01:32 |
| Zamadatx | i follwed the ubuntu wiki | 01:33 |
| Zamadatx | i set up the swapfile at 784 mb ram which is twice the recognized rma | 01:33 |
| Zamadatx | ram* | 01:33 |
| gman_ | Shujah: its says that it couldnt find hom/gman/file and home/ gman / this | 01:33 |
| boselecta | i would like to set up amarok to automatically talk to my iPod nano (old version, long and skinny, not squarish) whenever i plug it in to the USB port. is this going to be a big chore? are there instructions for this? | 01:33 |
| Zamadatx | but when i try to have it load on boot step it says access denied and im the admin | 01:33 |
| Zamadatx | ! | 01:33 |
| dr_Willis | Zamadatx, are you meaning a swap partition? or are you really talking about making a swap file after install? | 01:33 |
| Zamadatx | drwillis:after install | 01:34 |
| Zamadatx | i was to stupid to makea swap partition lol | 01:34 |
| Pici | Seveas: thanks | 01:34 |
| cirkit | chi: "how to fix ubuntu mouse" doesn't tell anybody here anything on your issue. Elaborate. | 01:34 |
| dr_Willis | Zamadatx, Hmm.. You just make the swap file, and use mkswap on the file, and then put the proper entry in the fstab file - is all I thought one had to do. | 01:34 |
| Zamadatx | ya it loads for that session | 01:34 |
| Jordan_U | boselecta: AFIK it's supported by default in Amarok, look for an option to "Add Device" | 01:35 |
| parradoX | admins | 01:35 |
| Zamadatx | but it wont laod after boot unless oyu type that last part in again | 01:35 |
| Seveas | Zamadatx, add it to /etc/fstab :) | 01:35 |
| dr_Willis | Zamadatx, what last part. :) the basics of it i see are at http://www.cyberciti.biz/faq/linux-add-a-swap-file-howto/ | 01:35 |

| pteeb | and instead did what i pasted in there :( | 01:38 |
| chi | cirkit please help! | 01:38 |
| Derander | ;-) | 01:38 |
| chi | :( | 01:38 |
| Zamadatx | Seveas: when i type the path to save the swapfile it says access denied. | 01:38 |
| dr_Willis | Zamadatx, you need to be a bit more verbose and perhaps tell us the url of the guide you followed.. and what command... | 01:38 |
| pteeb | Soul_Sample, i don't have XGL installed though :( | 01:38 |
| gman_ | shujah: it says its a directory | 01:38 |
| pteeb | http://paste.ubuntu.com/26972/ is what its complaining about | 01:38 |
| Zamadatx | drwillis: ok | 01:38 |
| dr_Willis | Zamadatx, the term 'save the swap file' is whats confusing us.. You mean the Editing the fstab, to automount the swap file? | 01:38 |
| cirkit | Seveas: I honestly don't believe chi is in need of real help here. | 01:38 |
| cirkit | chi: You need to stop that now. | 01:39 |
| Zamadatx | seveas: ye, ubuntu wiki calls it saving but i think thats mroe exact | 01:39 |
| Zamadatx | yes* | 01:39 |
| dr_Willis | Zamadatx, what wiki. :) we dont have the whole wiki memorized... | 01:39 |
| * dr_Willis gets ready to edit a wiki. | 01:39 | |
| pteeb | Soul_Sample, have you gotten WC3 working with WINE? | 01:39 |
| Soul_Sample | pteeb: yes, it's working better than in windows | 01:40 |
| pteeb | mind if I asked you a few questions in pvt? real quick | 01:40 |
| Soul_Sample | pteeb: sure | 01:40 |
| Zamadatx | i dont have the link to the ubuntu wiki page for this i savedthe file and it was given to me in forums | 01:40 |
| eftex | hell yeah i am back alive | 01:40 |
| * Seveas shoots eftex | 01:40 | |
| eftex | very strange... i had to manually edit the entry in the grub | 01:40 |
| chi | You're no fun anymore cirkit, What happend to you? :( | 01:41 |
| Seveas | chi, this channel is not for fun. | 01:41 |
| eftex | so it does boot from hd(0.0) despite its the 2nd harddisk and fixing the mbr also worked with grub on hd(1.0) | 01:41 |
| chi | clearly | 01:41 |
| eftex | *thats really weird stuff* | 01:41 |
| dr_Willis | Zamadatx, the guide at http://www.cyberciti.biz/faq/linux-add-a-swap-file-howto/ - is about all there is to making a swap file. If you are having problems editing the fstab file to make the thing automount you need to edit it as root 'sudo nano /etc/fstab' and add a proper entry for the swapfile | 01:41 |
| Gralco | why does opera refuse to go open source | 01:41 |
| Zamadatx | sudo gedit /etc/fstab is where im stuck | 01:41 |
| Seveas | Gralco, ask opera. | 01:41 |
| chi | Gralco, Money. | 01:41 |
| dr_Willis | !sudo | 01:41 |
| ubottu | sudo is a command to run programs with superuser privileges ("root"). Look at https://help.ubuntu.com/community/RootSudo for more information. For graphical applications see !gksu (Gnome), or !kdesu (KDE) | 01:41 |
| eftex | can only be explainid that the linux-system does not recognize the hfs correctly or as first device at all after getting into the boot-process | 01:41 |
| gman_ | Shujah: it says it a directory now what??? | 01:42 |
| eftex | whatever... now its time to fix that wlan-driver-shit for my osx :) | 01:42 |
| Gralco | chi where do they get their prophets, i know i opera is on the wii | 01:42 |
| eftex | thx for ya help :) | 01:42 |
| * chi shrugs | 01:42 | |
| Seveas | eftex, grub (and grub-install) don't give a shit about what linux recognizes :) | 01:42 |
| Zamadatx | O nvm i had the line above it that was giving me errors that i already did | 01:42 |
| Gralco | chi but i don't know where they get currency | 01:42 |
| Seveas | Gralco, this is an ubuntu support channel. Other talk elsewhere please | 01:42 |
| dr_Willis | Zamadatx, normally one would use gksu gedit /etc/fstab for using the gedit. since gedit is an X app. :) nano being a console editor.. can use sudo. | 01:43 |
| dr_Willis | Zamadatx, heh heh.. | 01:43 |
| eftex | Seveas: yeah, but the fix of the mbr was targeted on hd(0.1) and now during boot i had to edit the entries so they point to hd(0.0) | 01:43 |
| Zamadatx | Seveaus; im new to linux and i dont know what to change in fstab | 01:43 |

| eftex | and the advanced compiz manager | 01:47 |
| piju_ | is it normal hardy temp 49 degrees ? | 01:47 |
| eftex | i dont know the packet-names for it | 01:47 |
| eftex | but they are in the synaptic-manager | 01:48 |
| Seveas | Zamadatx, search youtube for compiz to get inspiration. Install compizconfig-settings-manager to get all the buttons to tweak it | 01:48 |
| Zamadatx | i thought compiz was already in ubuntu | 01:48 |
| Zamadatx | gues not | 01:48 |
| dr_Willis | Zamadatx, compiz is. | 01:48 |
| Jordan_U | Zamadatx: It is | 01:48 |
| Zamadatx | ??? | 01:48 |
| eftex | Zamadatx: yes it is... but if you want to set it more easisly use that tools | 01:48 |
| dr_Willis | Zamadatx, the advanced settings tools are not | 01:48 |
| Gralco | richiefrich ubuntu's irc community channel where all the nice folks of ubuntu come to speak and help each other out =) | 01:48 |
| Zamadatx | o | 01:48 |
| Zamadatx | ok | 01:48 |
| Seveas | Zamadatx, compiz is, the tweaking tool isn't installed by default | 01:48 |
| wmcgree | @Zamadatx It is, but not all the customisation options are there | 01:48 |
| richiefrich | Gralco: i see | 01:48 |
| eftex | Seveas: (that should be changed in the future) | 01:48 |

| dr_Willis | SamSamSam, - /server newservername | 01:56 |
| Seveas | SamSamSam, /newserver name.of.server | 01:56 |
| lee | how do I get the cube to work to switch desktops? | 01:57 |
| zelrikriando | dr_Willis, I enabled everything on Compiz :D | 01:57 |
| Infinito- | SamSamSam, but wai | 01:57 |
| Zamadatx | im using pidgin is there any suggested irc clients for ubuntu? | 01:57 |
| Tim-S | is it normal for a clean install of ubuntu not to have a /booot/grub/grub.conf file? | 01:57 |
| SamSamSam | thatnk you Dr_Willis and Seveas | 01:57 |
| xxploit | Zamadatx, xchat | 01:57 |
| gman_ | Shujah no | 01:57 |
| dr_Willis | zelrikriando, you probrly cant even type without activating a dozen features then. :) | 01:57 |
| Juozapas | Zamadatx: irssi | 01:57 |
| zelrikriando | dr_Willis, :D | 01:57 |
| Zamadatx | they all say that but i cant open the rpm... | 01:57 |
| SamSamSam | Infinito- because nobody here wants to listen to what i want to talk about :OD | 01:57 |
| Seveas | dr_Willis, better use /newserver, that won't disconnect the current connection ;) | 01:57 |
| N1N31NCHN41L5 | sup dr_Willis | 01:58 |
| Zamadatx | is the trash in ubuntu compressed? | 01:58 |
| dr_Willis | Seveas, bah! :) | 01:58 |
| zelrikriando | lee, in advanced desktop effects setting | 01:58 |
| Seveas | Zamadatx, no | 01:58 |
| Infinito- | SamSamSam, I mistyped, I meant nothing sorry... hehe | 01:58 |
| dr_Willis | Zamadatx, nope. no trash compresser here. | 01:58 |
| Shujah | gman_, once in terminal go to /home/Desktop < once there use this command ./alsa-info.sh --no-upload | 01:58 |
| Zamadatx | can i make it compressed? | 01:58 |
| taxidude221 | hi people i need some help | 01:58 |
| dr_Willis | Zamadatx, youve seen an OS that has compressed trash? | 01:58 |
| Zamadatx | well there was a thing for windows that did it on its way to the trash | 01:58 |
| Seveas | dr_Willis, the trashcan in windows can be hooked to do all kinds of weird stuff. symantec crapware also hooks it | 01:59 |
| szhil1232 | Can any1 help me out with a gfx question on 8.04? My display sucks compared to windows boot and Im using ATI's driver and direct rendering is working (i have a x1400) Is something wrong or is the gfx just not that good with the linux drivers? | 01:59 |
| dr_Willis | if you got so much trash that it needs to be compressed.. well... :) its time to take out the trash. | 01:59 |
| Zamadatx | lol | 01:59 |
| theRealBall | anyone here use solaris? | 01:59 |
| Zamadatx | well i delete things to make them small as i can with most the features | 01:59 |
| Zamadatx | and they often fail and i need the trash | 02:00 |
| Seveas | theRealBall, only if I have to | 02:00 |
| dr_Willis | I am reminded of years ago of the 'disk compression' disasters.. so common. :) | 02:00 |
| Zamadatx | how do i open an pm file? | 02:00 |
| Seveas | theRealBall, but this is ab ubuntu support channel, not a solaris one | 02:00 |
| lee | zelrikriando, I can not find that. do I have to run it from the cli? | 02:00 |
| Zamadatx | what disaster? | 02:00 |
| Seveas | Zamadatx, with a text editor. It's a perl module | 02:00 |
| zelrikriando | lee, hold on | 02:00 |
| theRealBall | how else would one ask if we use any other os | 02:00 |
| theRealBall | geez | 02:00 |
| Zamadatx | does it run them? | 02:00 |
| dr_Willis | Zamadatx, you could proberly make a compressed trashcan with the FUSE tools. but it sounds liek a waste of time/cpu. | 02:00 |
| Zamadatx | ya im not doing that if i had a hard time with a swap file | 02:01 |
| dr_Willis | Zamadatx, back in the 80's the disk compression was a feature of dos. and resulted in a lot of lost data from hard drives :) | 02:01 |
| Zamadatx | is there any way t hide people signing out? | 02:01 |
| Seveas | dr_Willis, woah flashback :) | 02:01 |
| Tim-S | is it normal for a clean install of ubuntu not to have a /booot/grub/grub.conf file? | 02:01 |
| Seveas | Zamadatx, not with pidgin afaik | 02:01 |
| dr_Willis | Zamadatx, check the docs/guides for your irc client. :) xchat has a 'show join/part' option | 02:01 |
| Zamadatx | o whats the best compressor percentage ratio | 02:01 |
| whileimhere | Hi there. I was given a link to a site with the Ubuntu version of LIVES the other day. Does anyone know it offhand?> | 02:01 |
| zelrikriando | lee, make sure you have compizconfig-settings-manager installed | 02:02 |
| Soul_Sample | anybody knows how could I install finch if i have a newer pidgin (and thus the libpurple) files, and finch insists on the older ones? | 02:02 |
| Seveas | Zamadatx, depends on the content you feed it. | 02:02 |
| Zamadatx | how do i install xchat i have the rpm | 02:02 |
| dr_Willis | Zamadatx, depends on the data you are compressing and how critical cpu ussage is for you. vs time to decompress and other things. | 02:02 |
| Zamadatx | well i man all around compressor | 02:02 |
| szhil1232 | can any1 point me in the right direction? my notebook's gfx suck and i cant find anything on the net that would suggest something is wrong | 02:02 |
| Seveas | Zamadatx, you toss out the rpm and search for xchat in applications -> add/remove | 02:02 |
| Zamadatx | i use 7 zip on ultra | 02:02 |
| dr_Willis | Zamadatx, rpm? ubuntus do NOT use rpms. | 02:02 |
| Seveas | 7zip is good | 02:02 |
| Zamadatx | ... | 02:02 |
| dr_Willis | 7zip is handy. | 02:02 |
| zelrikriando | Zamadatx, why using a rpm ? | 02:02 |
| Zamadatx | i have had linux for one day | 02:03 |
| Seveas | szhil1232, strange. Lots of things are wrong on the net | 02:03 |
| Zamadatx | what does ubuntu use? | 02:03 |
| dr_Willis | !apt-get | Zamadatx | 02:03 |
| ubottu | Zamadatx: APT is the Advanced Package Tool, which together with dpkg forms the basic Ubuntu package management toolkit. Short apt-get manual: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/AptGetHowto - Also see !Synaptic (Gnome) or !Adept (KDE) | 02:03 |
| Seveas | Zamadatx, deb packages. And you don't need to download them manually | 02:03 |
| Billll | xubuntu supprot come froim here as well? | 02:03 |
| gman_ | Shujah : permission denied | 02:03 |
| szhil1232 | i mean specific to my case | 02:03 |
| whileimhere | !LIVES | 02:03 |
| ubottu | Sorry, I don't know anything about lives | 02:03 |
| Zamadatx | what is that seach for a progrm thing | 02:03 |
| Seveas | Billll, #xubuntu might be of more help but xubuntu questions are welcome here as well | 02:03 |
| Shujah | gman_,sudo ./alsa-info.sh --no-upload | 02:03 |
| zelrikriando | Zamadatx, use Synaptic Package Manager or apt-get...or a .deb but here a simple Add/Remove in your Application menu would do it | 02:04 |
| Billll | thank you :D | 02:04 |
| zelrikriando | :D | 02:04 |
| Seveas | Zamadatx, that has a list of all applications ubuntu has, several thousand. | 02:04 |
| taxidude221 | when trying to boot ubuntu from a live cd i choose "Boot ubuntu without making changes to your computer" or something like that then i get all these lines of i/o errors and other errors, what is the problem? | 02:04 |
| lee | zelrikriando, Thanks I did not have that installed and now it is working. Thanks a lot... | 02:04 |
| Zamadatx | ok whats the structure of using that | 02:04 |
| Zamadatx | what do i type for what i want | 02:04 |
| Seveas | taxidude221, bad cd or bad cd drive | 02:04 |
| szhil1232 | i seem to have the right driver and 3D accel but it blows, theres this line that appears and splits the screen and DVDs cant even play, it looks like scrambled video | 02:04 |
| Seveas | Zamadatx, xchat | 02:04 |
| Seveas | :) | 02:04 |
| Zamadatx | just the name? | 02:04 |
| Seveas | Zamadatx, make sure you select "show all available programs" | 02:04 |
| taxidude221 | oh darn well thanks seveas | 02:04 |
| zelrikriando | lee, if you want more info let me know...I know how to make nice looking desktops :p | 02:04 |
| Seveas | Zamadatx, yes. Why should it be more difficult? =) | 02:04 |
| taxidude221 | ill try it on my other comp where i burned it | 02:05 |
| hotking | how to upgrade to ubuntu8.04.1 from 8.04? | 02:05 |
| Zamadatx | idk windwos swap fille was easy | 02:05 |
| gman_ | Shujah it asks for password i put the password i set or another one?? | 02:05 |
| Seveas | hotking, just install the updates ubuntu tells you about, then you're at 8.04.1 now | 02:05 |
| suselin | hotking, should be done auto | 02:05 |
| whileimhere | Is there a uploader for google photos like there is for flicker? | 02:05 |
| Shujah | gman_, the password you set as first user is the password for root | 02:05 |
| lee | zelrikriando, thanks a lot. | 02:05 |
| Zamadatx | can you upgrade every 6 month version of ubuntu without uninstalling | 02:05 |
| zelrikriando | hotking, if you keep your stuff updated...you are on 8.04.1 | 02:05 |
| Seveas | Zamadatx, yes | 02:05 |
| Tim-S | is it normal for a clean install of ubuntu not to have a /booot/grub/grub.conf file? | 02:06 |
| Seveas | Tim-S, yes | 02:06 |
| Seveas | grub.conf is a redhat-ism. The proper name of that file is menu.lst | 02:06 |
| Infinito- | you've typed three ooo's there Tim-S | 02:06 |
| Zamadatx | can i disable this admin password thing? | 02:06 |
| taxidude221 | where can i find out which cd-rom drive i have? | 02:06 |
| Seveas | hello capt'n obvious :) | 02:06 |
| Seveas | Zamadatx, yes | 02:06 |
| Zamadatx | its getn annoying as windows | 02:06 |
| Tim-S | Infinito: ? | 02:06 |
| Zamadatx | where do i go? | 02:07 |
| Infinito- | Tim-S, "booot" | 02:07 |
| zelrikriando | Zamadatx, what is annoying? | 02:07 |
| Tim-S | oh haha | 02:07 |
| Seveas | taxidude221, hal-device-manager | 02:07 |
| Zamadatx | the admin password | 02:07 |
| Tim-S | so if I'm adding a password to grub I should do it in menu.lst? | 02:07 |
| taxidude221 | thanks | 02:07 |
| Zamadatx | i didnt realized it would be used after login | 02:07 |
| zelrikriando | Zamadatx, how? | 02:07 |
| lks | anyone know how to configure the microphone to work on skype?..thx | 02:07 |
| Zamadatx | whenever i do system stuff it ask | 02:07 |
| jm2k | sometimes my system runs slow -- whats the best way or tool to debug problems such as "too many resources" or memory usage? | 02:07 |
| zelrikriando | Zamadatx, like when you install/update stuff? | 02:07 |
| Zamadatx | ya | 02:07 |
| Zamadatx | mosty | 02:07 |
| jm2k | strace? or something like that? | 02:07 |
| zelrikriando | Zamadatx, that is safer that way though | 02:07 |
| Seveas | jm2k, top -b -n1 | 02:07 |
| dr_Willis | Zamadatx, proper system security is a 'process' learn how to use 'sudo' and use it properly. :) is the key to long life of the os. | 02:08 |
| Zamadatx | are there virouses for ubuntu? | 02:08 |
| Seveas | Zamadatx, not in the wild | 02:08 |
| taxidude221 | wait seveas is hal-device-manager for windows.....? | 02:08 |
| zelrikriando | Zamadatx, very few called 'rootkits' | 02:08 |
| Seveas | taxidude221, this is an ubuntu channel. what do you think? | 02:08 |
| taxidude221 | lol ok | 02:08 |
| jm2k | Seveas: same as looking at the System Monitor too !? !? | 02:08 |
| ElPando | where should the swap be, at the beginning or end of the disk? | 02:08 |
| szhil1232 | a rootkit isnt a virus | 02:08 |
| zelrikriando | Zamadatx, they are not a problem if you have a good security behaviour | 02:09 |
| jm2k | *tool | 02:09 |
| Zamadatx | are they as annoying as windows virouses? | 02:09 |
| zelrikriando | szhil1232, well....ok | 02:09 |
| dr_Willis | Zamadatx, nothing is as annoying as anything in windows. :) | 02:09 |
| Zamadatx | lol | 02:09 |
| dr_Willis | !virus | Zamadatx | 02:09 |
| Zamadatx | well that darn swap file is | 02:09 |
| ubottu | Zamadatx: A/V software is available, however read this to understand why Linux does not have a virus problem: http://librenix.com/?inode=21 | 02:09 |
| Seveas | dr_Willis, untrue. pulseaudio is more annoying than sound in windows | 02:09 |
| Seveas | FAR more annoying | 02:09 |
| gman_ | Shujah it says sudo: ./alsa-info.sh: command not found | 02:09 |
| szhil1232 | its a malicious software that runs below the OS essentially becoming the OS and virtualizing the users OS or simply changing the OS itself | 02:09 |
| Zamadatx | well im sure its because it uses ext3 and no exe files and a diff structure | 02:09 |
| xxschwartzxx | What other OS's are there besides Linux Mac and Windows? | 02:09 |
| dr_Willis | Zamadatx, that was rather trivial. you couldent figure out how to edit 1 file... you have now hopefully learned how to edit a system file with a text editor. | 02:09 |
| Zamadatx | lol | 02:10 |
| Zamadatx | it is easier | 02:10 |
| Zamadatx | i like it alot | 02:10 |
| dr_Willis | Zamadatx, ext3. and no .exe, has nothing to do witht he lack of viruses. :) | 02:10 |
| smallfoot- | xxor27h, FreeBSD, OpenBSD, NetBSD, DragonFlyBSD, Plan 9 from Bell Labs, AIX, HP-UX, Solaris, OpenSolaris, etc | 02:10 |
| xxschwartzxx | Oh. | 02:10 |
| xxschwartzxx | Any good? | 02:10 |
| ElPando | ... where should i put the swap partition? beginning or end? | 02:10 |
| smallfoot- | xxor27h, FreeDOS, Amiga OS 4, etc lots others | 02:10 |
| Zamadatx | what exactly is the difference between ext3 and everything else? | 02:10 |
| dr_Willis | Zamadatx, in theory a 'user' can only trash/alter their own files. thus a user cant trash the whole system. no matter what they do. :) (in theory) | 02:10 |
| ruMeL | i want to sleep ! | 02:10 |
| xxschwartzxx | Can any compete with Ubuntu? | 02:10 |
| smallfoot- | xxschwartzxx, some of them have some good features. Some of them are good for some stuff, but Linux, Mac, Windows are best for most desktop users | 02:11 |
| dr_Willis | Zamadatx, thats part of the reason for sudo. keep the root/system admin stuff as seperate from the users as you can. | 02:11 |
| xxschwartzxx | I see, | 02:11 |
| smallfoot- | xxschwartzxx, Plan 9 from Bell labs got some great network features and cool technology | 02:11 |
| xxschwartzxx | Oh? By technology you mean...? | 02:11 |
| Zamadatx | what re the advantages of ext3? | 02:11 |
| ElPando | imust say i'd rather have an admin account and a user one | 02:11 |
| szhil1232 | can any1 at least point me to where i may find my answer? Does my video card suck in ubuntu because im doing something wrong or would an ATI x1400 be expected to suck in ubuntu? | 02:11 |
| smallfoot- | xxschwartzxx, Solaris got some cool technology such as ZFS and DTrace. It is good on Servers. | 02:11 |
| suselin | journaling | 02:11 |
| xxschwartzxx | i see... | 02:11 |
| zelrikriando | small fragmentation ? | 02:12 |
| smallfoot- | xxschwartzxx, *BSD is great for servers too. OpenBSD got really great security. | 02:12 |
| dr_Willis | Zamadatx, its the 'standard' :) other filesystems may be better at some tasks.. but ext3 is good for most people. | 02:12 |
| tarelerulz | I made mount for the ipod using sudo and ipod says it is owned my root . So I did sudo root:normaluser /media/ ipod and it says it cant charge permision . To the subdircet . What do I do | 02:12 |
| ZachPruckowski | I just downloaded Ubuntu Server 8.04.1 and I'm trying to install it in Parallels, but I need to figure out how to disable PAE | 02:12 |
| Curtis | ? | 02:12 |
| mylogic | I can't wait for zfs to become the standard | 02:12 |
| ZachPruckowski | can anyone help me? | 02:12 |
| Zamadatx | does ubuntu defragment fast? | 02:12 |
| szhil1232 | lol @ tarelerulz | 02:12 |
| xxschwartzxx | I'm working on installing ubuntu to my external HD tomorrow :D | 02:12 |
| lazertek | szhil12 | 02:12 |
| suselin | what is pae | 02:12 |
| N1N31NCHN41L5 | Zamadatx: u dont defrag ubuntu | 02:12 |
| zelrikriando | Zamadatx, it does not fragment | 02:12 |
| Zamadatx | good | 02:12 |
| dr_Willis | Zamadatx, filesystems can fragment.. and ext3 has very little if any problems with fragmentation | 02:12 |
| Zamadatx | i was hopeing that | 02:12 |
| Zamadatx | i hate defragging | 02:12 |
| lazertek | szhil1232: just download envyng and it will do it automatically | 02:13 |
| bobrock_ | what are some good cli apps | 02:13 |
| maco | suselin: physical address extensions | 02:13 |
| Zamadatx | xchat gnome? | 02:13 |
| Mecha25 | not true, it fragments, you just doesn't notice because of advanced elevator algorithms and such | 02:13 |
| zelrikriando | Actually it does fragment but at very slow rate | 02:13 |
| dr_Willis | bobrock_, thats a little vague. :) try 'fortune | cowsay' its my fave. | 02:13 |
| szhil1232 | k ill give it a shot | 02:13 |
| moppen_ | good morning everyone! | 02:13 |
| lazertek | szhil1232: you'll be surprised how well it works | 02:13 |
| suselin | maco ty guess i need to read to find out what it is | 02:13 |
| ruMeL | oh dude, it's 3am, how can you say Good morning ? | 02:14 |
| Mecha25 | he's not on your coast | 02:14 |
| ruMeL | ok, maybe you're right. | 02:14 |
| moppen_ | iam from from germany and on our irc nobody can help me | 02:14 |
| Mecha25 | or continent for that matter I think | 02:14 |
| Zamadatx | when i check a program to be installed o i click apply changes and it starts? | 02:14 |
| lazertek | Zamadatx: what about xchat gnome | 02:14 |
| moppen_ | so i try it here | 02:14 |
| maco | suselin: the reason on 32bit you often only see 3.2gb of memory is that the pci devices are often memory mapped in the upper 3gb range | 02:14 |
| zelrikriando | ruMeL, it's 8pm here | 02:14 |
| dr_Willis | Zamadatx, it 'installs' the program. | 02:14 |
| lazertek | yes Zamadatx | 02:14 |
| ruMeL | Gosh. | 02:14 |
| maco | suselin: PAE lets those be remapped above 4gb so that you can use all 4gb of memory on a 32bit os | 02:14 |
| smallfoot- | heeeeeeeeelp brainstorm is broken | 02:14 |
| maco | suselin: if you have less than 4gb, you don't care | 02:14 |
| perlsyntax_ | i got my gps connect to my pc with linux how do i update the maps? | 02:14 |
| Zamadatx | yay this is better than googleing for software | 02:14 |
| suselin | maco ok | 02:15 |
| dr_Willis | Zamadatx, the joys of the package manager. :) | 02:15 |
| Zamadatx | i updated 22 thigns today after installing on 90 mb free ram | 02:15 |
| bobrock_ | ubuntu linux is one powerful os | 02:15 |
| lazertek | Zamadatx: seems like you just got into linux systems... you're gonna love it | 02:15 |
| Zamadatx | it took 1hour 30 minutes | 02:15 |
| tarelerulz | I have try use nautilus via sudo and change ipod dircotory to nomaluser did not work. I have been trying commmand line chown nothing. Maybe if someone shows me the right command > I want the ipod and all its dictorys writeble to my normal use so I can put music on it | 02:15 |
| lee | zelrikriando, no i can only have 1 desktop? do you know why? | 02:15 |
| Zamadatx | i used dsl and puppy on my ub 4 school | 02:15 |
| moppen_ | is here someone who is using a bcm4311 chip on a broadcom wireless lan card? | 02:15 |
| ElPando | guys, do i want my swap at the beginning, or at the end of the disk?? | 02:15 |
| zelrikriando | Zamadatx, you can still google for ubuntu software ...but a lot of it is right there | 02:15 |
| Zamadatx | i have reactos which is awindwos clone but free and opensource | 02:15 |
| lazertek | moppen_: is you wireless not working? | 02:15 |
| jasedude | Salutations folks | 02:15 |
| Zamadatx | but ubunu is a frst time for a real common linus os | 02:15 |
| zelrikriando | lee, did you configure the general options of Compiz? | 02:16 |
| maco | Zamadatx: yes, one of the nicest things about making my brother and sister use linux is that they can install software without asking me "do i hit next now? next or back? what about this one? do i hit next, back, or cancel this time? how about now?" | 02:16 |
| dr_Willis | ElPando, ive heard some speed is to be gained at the start.. but i doubt if you will notice any differance. I always put mine at the end. | 02:16 |
| zelrikriando | lee, in that setting manager I told you about | 02:16 |
| Zamadatx | lol | 02:16 |
| bobrock_ | what's up with ati 1300 i can;t get the drivers | 02:16 |
| dr_Willis | ElPando, for the fastest - you could have several swap partitions across several disks. but thats extreme | 02:16 |
| moppen_ | my wireless is working with ndiswrapper...but ndiswrapper doesnt support monitoring | 02:16 |
| bobrock_ | they down;t load | 02:16 |
| Zamadatx | can i expand my partition without damaging ubuntu? | 02:16 |
| ruMeL | well. | 02:16 |
| lazertek | Zamadatx: check out on google images how some customized ubuntu look... cuz i bet your first install looks ins't mindblowing | 02:16 |
| moppen_ | sorry for my broken english ;-) | 02:16 |
| bobrock_ | .time | 02:17 |
| smallfoot- | maco, one of the nicest things is that you dont have to run antispyware and antivirus and clean their computer all the time. my dumbass brother had a worm on his computer that spammed so much that our ISP shut our internet down and we were without internet connection | 02:17 |
| Zamadatx | i made the bottom bar 100% transparent and added an auto hide sidebar | 02:17 |
| gman_ | Shujah: it says sudo: ./alsa-info.sh: command not found | 02:17 |
| zelrikriando | Zamadatx, that s not much | 02:17 |
| lazertek | Zamadatx: once you customize it you can make it look better than vista and mac... like mine ... lol ;) | 02:17 |
| Zamadatx | lol | 02:17 |
| lee | zelrikriando, yes. I went to the Desktop size tab and tried to change the number of desktops to 2 and it will not let me | 02:17 |
| moppen_ | so i want to use the nativ driver for the bcm4311 chip | 02:17 |
| szhil1232 | lazertek envyNG isnt in package manager and googling it brings up a page that says that it has conflicts with some ubuntu utility, you use it on ubuntu without issues? | 02:17 |
| Zamadatx | i dont know if i want to change from human theme | 02:17 |
| ruMeL | I should go sleeping, I think. | 02:17 |
| suselin | try enablin 3d and compiz | 02:17 |
| maco | tarelerulz: is it mounting automatically when you plug it in, or did you manually do it on the command line? | 02:17 |
| ruMeL | "sorry for my broken english" too | 02:17 |
| Zamadatx | i dont like the desktop pic but dont know of antything that matches | 02:17 |
| lazertek | szhil1232: go to www.getdeb.net and download it there | 02:17 |
| jasedude | Hey, is any one here a WINE expert? I work for the IT department at my school and my boss is considering a switch to Ubuntu instead of vista, But I need to get one program we use working before we could switch. | 02:18 |
| szhil1232 | suselin: was that at me? | 02:18 |
| Zamadatx | is it just me or do the ones that say i have broken english speak it the best? | 02:18 |
| maco | smallfoot-: i have done no such thing, yet i still havent had internet for 2 months now | 02:18 |

| mofux | hi, i have hardy running with a radeon 9600 + fglrx driver + xserver-xgl and video / scrolling of internetpages is kinda slow, when i try to remove xserver-xgl all i get is a white screen when i log back in to gnome... i couldn't find anything usefull on the net yet, could you guys maybe point me? | 02:18 |
| zelrikriando | lee, that is hmm...hold on | 02:18 |
| suselin | try the ubuntu indiana jones wallpaper | 02:18 |
| lazertek | szhil1232: isn't it great ubuntu does the dependecies so great!... One of the main reasons ubuntu ranked 1str | 02:18 |
| === mIgggUeL_ is now known as miggguel | ||
| smallfoot- | suselin, where can i find that? | 02:18 |
| moppen_ | lazertek, you have an idea? | 02:18 |
| moppen_ | for my wireless driver problem | 02:19 |
| zelrikriando | lee, the virtual horizontal size is what you want to increase | 02:19 |
| maco | tarelerulz: when you manually mount it, if you want your user to have read/write access, you have to use -o (for options) uid=tarelerulz,rw (replace tarelerulz with your username on the computer) | 02:19 |
| Zamadatx | is java faster in ubuntu with the same resources as windows ? | 02:19 |
| vvd | hey, is it possible to disable auth for nm-applet (using nm-applet without authenticating)? | 02:19 |
| suselin | gnome look site | 02:19 |
| maco | tarelerulz: the uid= make you the owner | 02:19 |
| lazertek | moppen_: if you're wifi isnt out of the box compatible there are workarounds like ndiswrapper and madwifi... what card do you have? | 02:19 |
| maco | vvd: why would it need authentication? | 02:19 |
| Zamadatx | and wwho came up with calling it gnome? | 02:19 |
| maco | Zamadatx: its an acronym, so it's actually GNOME | 02:20 |
| suselin | Zamadatx, a troll did | 02:20 |
| moppen_ | it works with ndiswrapper | 02:20 |
| vvd | maco: when i wanna use it (change stuff like IP) it asks for a passwd | 02:20 |
| Zamadatx | whats it stand for? | 02:20 |
| szhil1232 | theres no results under envy (hardy heron) for getdeb.net | 02:20 |
| moppen_ | but ndiswrapper doesnt support monitoring | 02:20 |
| lazertek | moppen_: that what is the problem? | 02:20 |
| Zamadatx | if my drivers all work perfect should i even getwine? | 02:20 |
| lee | zelrikriando, that is it. Thanks for the video too. | 02:20 |
| moppen_ | so i will try the nativ driver | 02:20 |
| szhil1232 | err no results from search | 02:20 |
| lazertek | moppen_: i'm sure you can monitor | 02:20 |
| moppen_ | with ndiswrapper??? | 02:21 |
| Zamadatx | is compiz in the ubuntu app list? | 02:21 |
| maco | vvd: network manager does? it shouldn't. are you sure you don't mean network-admin (which i think comes if you switch to manual mode instead of network manager's automatic roaming mode)? | 02:21 |
| zelrikriando | Zamadatx, yeah | 02:21 |
| taxidude221 | bye guys ima go test if ubuntu works on my other pc with the live cd i got | 02:21 |
| maco | Zamadatx: its preinstalled | 02:21 |
| smallfoot- | is there any website where people can go whine about everything that sucks in ubuntu? | 02:21 |
| Zamadatx | do i have to restart for it? | 02:21 |
| maco | Zamadatx: wine has nothing to do with drivers | 02:21 |
| zelrikriando | Zamadatx, you should look at the vid I linked | 02:21 |
| zelrikriando | Zamadatx, usually not :) | 02:21 |
| lazertek | moppen_: let me make sure | 02:21 |
| Zamadatx | i have seen compiz | 02:21 |
| bliZZardz | i have feisty running and want to upgrade to hardy - i have the cd for the latter. Do i need to upgrade to gusty and then to Hardy? which is the quickest and the safest way? | 02:21 |
| Zamadatx | i wanted it on windows | 02:21 |
| AMDpenguin | how can i use Fat32 as / | 02:21 |
| vvd | maco: dunno exactly, but i have enabled manual config (not roaming) | 02:21 |
| Zamadatx | the desktop is why i first decided i wanted ubuntu | 02:22 |
| Jordan_U | AMDpenguin: Why do you want to? | 02:22 |
| lazertek | moppen_: download ndismonitor and you'll be able to monitor | 02:22 |
| zelrikriando | Zamadatx, my video is a tutorial not a show off thing | 02:22 |
| maco | vvd: then that's network-admin (system -> administration -> networking) | 02:22 |
| Zamadatx | o | 02:22 |
| === acidicbase_ is now known as acidicbase | ||
| Zamadatx | i ont need tutorials i need time to guess whow to do stuff | 02:22 |
| moppen_ | if i type iwpriv wlan0 on my terminal there doesnt stand monitoring | 02:22 |
| maco | vvd: um, maybe system -> admin -> authorization will let you set it so that network-admin doesn't question you | 02:22 |
| maco | vvd: i havent played around with PolicyKit enough to tell you how exactly | 02:22 |
| zelrikriando | Zamadatx, You should watch it anyway :) | 02:22 |
| AMDpenguin | fat32 is way better than ext3 | 02:22 |
| moppen_ | ndismonitor? i will search it on google | 02:22 |
| maco | AMDpenguin: ehh?? | 02:22 |
| Zamadatx | isthere 5 star popularity or only 4 star in add remove programs? | 02:22 |
| maco | AMDpenguin: how so? it's not even journalled | 02:23 |
| vvd | maco: i have looked there too, but had no luck yet. ty | 02:23 |
| lazertek | moppen_: let me know if you get that to work... it should | 02:23 |
| smallfoot- | AMDpenguin, what the fuck are you smoking? | 02:23 |
| * Jordan_U smells a troll | 02:23 | |
| moppen_ | ok wait! i try it now | 02:23 |
| Pici | smallfoot-: Watch the language | 02:23 |
| AMDpenguin | umm i would use JFS but JFS isnt supported by ubuntu | 02:23 |
| khajavi | rymastersys dosnt work for m. it doesnt create an ISO of my Ubuntu? any alternative software to create a remaster of my ubuntu? | 02:23 |
| smallfoot- | Pici, sorry | 02:23 |
| ruMeL | good night folks | 02:24 |
| AMDpenguin | reiser and xfs both suck | 02:24 |
| Zamadatx | in wich submenu is compiz located in the application menu? | 02:24 |
| bazhang | smallfoot-, no cursing | 02:24 |
| * zelrikriando is using a gutsy repository on hardy heron and is proud of it | 02:24 | |
| gway9000 | there is only one complaint i have against ubuntu - my ATI card did not work after an upgrade and my new Nvidia card will not enable 3d so i had to dual boot to "enjoy" the 3d stuff" no worries though i will see what october brings | 02:24 |
| AMDpenguin | oh well | 02:24 |
| AMDpenguin | I will use JFS | 02:24 |
| Zamadatx | my ati card worked but ti was restricted at first | 02:25 |
| AMDpenguin | Too bad Microsoft have to be bitches about NTFS | 02:25 |
| zelrikriando | Zamadatx, it's more like in the administration menu....and you want to install compizconfig-settings-manager too | 02:25 |
| lazertek | zelrikriando: why? | 02:25 |
| bazhang | AMDpenguin, take chat elsewhere please. | 02:25 |
| Zamadatx | isnt there a program to read ntfs from ubuntu? | 02:25 |
| AMDpenguin | yeah there is | 02:25 |
| smallfoot- | bazhang, sorry, it wont happen again... | 02:25 |
| Zamadatx | whats it calle dmy whole comp is ntfs | 02:25 |
| lazertek | Zamadatx: ntfs-3g | 02:25 |
| smallfoot- | bazhang, can you make me unbanned from #ubuntu-offtopic? | 02:25 |
| N1N31NCHN41L5 | Zamadatx: look in ubuntu forums for easy full install of compiz-fusion | 02:25 |
| khajavi | how can I create iso of my ubuntu? | 02:25 |
| Zamadatx | besides this second hd | 02:25 |
| Jordan_U | Zamadatx: Yes, it should mount by defualt | 02:25 |
| Zamadatx | o | 02:25 |
| khajavi | create live cd? | 02:25 |
| Zamadatx | ok | 02:25 |
| zelrikriando | lazertek, because I have no choice...oh yes...I can compile from source...but have no time to fix it | 02:25 |
| === allen is now known as Bob_Sagot | ||
| AMDpenguin | Yeah but if you suffer a crash on ubuntu with TNFS mounted you cant remount it | 02:26 |
| smallfoot- | AMDpenguin, yeah, NTFS seems reasonably good... its a shame its closed :( | 02:26 |
| Zamadatx | so its not that reliable? | 02:26 |
| smallfoot- | bazhang, thanks | 02:26 |
| kindofabuzz | hola! | 02:26 |
| AMDpenguin | at least APPLe gives detailed Info on HFS+ | 02:26 |
| smallfoot- | oh, didnt know that | 02:26 |
| lazertek | khajavi: u mean of the ubuntu installation or the programs | 02:26 |
| bobrock | how can I make an image of my ubuntu partition | 02:27 |
| tato | I have a partition, in that partition I've copied the windows xp cd-rom, how can I make GRUB boot it as if it were the cd-rom? | 02:27 |
| Zamadatx | i just got compiz off he add remove programs thing but whered the files go to open it | 02:27 |
| kindofabuzz | bobrock, partimage | 02:27 |
| bliZZardz | guys..[reporting Q] i have feisty running and want to upgrade to hardy - i have the cd for the latter. Do i need to upgrade to gusty and then to Hardy? which is the quickest and the safest way? | 02:27 |
| bobrock | ok | 02:27 |
| Jordan_U | Zamadatx: The only problem with it is that it cannot *fix* problems with NTFS, so if you pull the plug without unmounting properly you need to run chkdisk from windows | 02:27 |
| gway9000 | bobrock: partimage | 02:27 |
| moppen_ | lazertek, i dont find a download for ndismonitor | 02:27 |
| AMDpenguin | none of the linux filesystems can even compete with NTFS | 02:27 |
| Zamadatx | is there anything that makes it better/ | 02:27 |
| bliZZardz | running [gksu "sh /cdrom/cdromupgrade"] doesnt throw any promps | 02:27 |
| khajavi | lazertek: I want to create a Live iso of my curent ubuntu | 02:27 |
| zelrikriando | lazertek, I really should fix that though :) | 02:27 |
| lazertek | Jordan_U: you need to use ntfsfix yo fix ntfs partitions | 02:28 |
| bazhang | AMDpenguin, please stop with the chat. | 02:28 |
| evilbug | does anyone know how i can make it so that my macbook pro (2nd gen) doesn't heat up like crazy with no extra bg processes (fresh install) and just xchat and pidgin running? | 02:28 |

| lazertek | khajavi: but that wont let you install it | 02:28 |
| Zamadatx | whats gonna be in ext4? | 02:28 |
| lazertek | zelrikriando: probably | 02:29 |

| tarelerulz | I did this to the dirotory I mount my ipod in sudo chown -hR tarelerulz /media/ipod and I get this chown: changing ownership of `/media/ipod/Recordings': Operation not permitted. What is wrong | 02:31 |
| Zamadatx | the wikipedia article sent by amdpenguin | 02:31 |
| zelrikriando | lazertek, it's a library that is obsolete in hardy :) | 02:31 |
| bobrock | partimage does not work unless i umnount drive | 02:31 |
| Zamadatx | in apperance/ | 02:31 |
| zelrikriando | lazertek, that's why I should reinstall from source :) | 02:31 |
| td123 | Zamadatx: can you resend it again, I just joined | 02:31 |
| bobrock | how do I do that | 02:31 |

| Zamadatx | and who comes up with the releae names? | 02:32 |
| bobrock | exit | 02:32 |
| lazertek | zelrikriando: i c | 02:33 |
| AMDpenguin | everything in linux is a text file | 02:33 |
| gway9000 | bobrock: there is a cd that incorporates partimage it is called PING | 02:33 |
| Zamadatx | teh names are all so random | 02:33 |
| lazertek | Zamadatx: the ubuntu developers | 02:33 |
| Jordan_U | Zamadatx: The release names are the year and month of release, ie: 8.10 | 02:33 |
| zelrikriando | lazertek, http://mirror.phy.bnl.gov/debian-root/ubuntu/ | 02:33 |
| AMDpenguin | i mean the config files are in text files. Its not bloated crap like microsoft | 02:33 |
| Zamadatx | ya but the utsy somehting names after that | 02:33 |
| zelrikriando | lazertek, if you find an easy way around...I am opened to suggestions | 02:33 |
| Zamadatx | gutsy something* | 02:33 |
| Jordan_U | Zamadatx: Those are development code names, like longhorn | 02:34 |
| moppen_ | lazertek, you had check it? | 02:34 |
| Zamadatx | well longhorn doesnt sound to odd | 02:34 |

| gnuB_Chris_ | ok. still working on this RO fs issue. Is it possible to umount everything and then mount -a? | 02:35 |
| zelrikriando | lazertek, several packages...it's quite a big thing | 02:35 |
| Zamadatx | whats the control alt delete keys in ubuntu | 02:35 |
| bazhang | smallfoot-, not here; perhaps #defuse | 02:35 |
| gway9000 | Zamadatx: you will notice that a lot of the linux symbols are animals - that is because that when all the geeks were programming in smoked filled rooms that was all they saw from inhaling all the smoke | 02:35 |
| zelrikriando | lazertek, let me check which library I need | 02:35 |
| Zamadatx | lol | 02:35 |

| moppen_ | lazertek, thank you very much! | 02:37 |
| moppen_ | :-) | 02:37 |
| amatson97 | dudes need help i have looked at the #desmume no one is home is any one here familiar with the software | 02:37 |
| lazertek | moppen_: no prob | 02:37 |
| mftom | not only does pidgin close randomly...my ubuntu freezes up from time to time and the only way to restart is hold down the power button | 02:37 |
| bazhang | AMDpenguin, take the chatter to #ubuntu-offtopic | 02:37 |
| Jordan_U | lucas_: What happens when you try to install firefox? | 02:37 |
| zelrikriando | lazertek, libkernlib1 and libpacklib1 are the lib's that arent available on hardy | 02:37 |
| jm2k | how do i remove startup scripts? | 02:37 |
| Zamadatx | when i use virtaulbox it always stays at 100% cpu even with a puppy linux runing a text based os | 02:37 |
| smallfoot- | jm2k, well GTK applications look like shit on other distros, which gives Linux a bad reputation, many sites you can see applications and they look like 1990 | 02:37 |
| zelrikriando | lazertek, I need those to install something :) | 02:37 |

| Jordan_U | ronin12345: squid is one I hear used a lot | 02:38 |
| lucas_ | Jordan_U, its in spanish something like I should check if repositories are completed, but they are and all i did was an update, it uninstall some packages and firefox it was something about a partial update or something like that | 02:38 |
| smallfoot- | jm2k, linux doesnt support ACPI 3 | 02:38 |
| lazertek | zelrikriando: or get the source and compile it on hardy... that's the same thing as getting it from there repository | 02:38 |
| SodaKiller | I have installed ubuntu on a tablet pc (viewsonic) all is working fine execpt the pen stylus. it did have "wacom" drivers already installed. is it safe to assume that the wacom drivers would only install if ubuntu detected somekind of pen device during installation? | 02:38 |
| smallfoot- | jm2k, no gui to mount ISO images | 02:38 |
| td123 | smallfoot-: if the program does the job then there shouldn't be a need to change it. eyecandy is not first priority on GNU/Linux | 02:39 |
| Jordan_U | lucas_: Did you recently upgrade from another release? | 02:39 |
| Zamadatx | and can ubuntu boot from wan like open solaris? | 02:39 |

| jm2k | smalfoot-: unfortunately, there aren't many graphic/GUI designers interested in Linux... when it becomes more popular, we'll see them flock to us and abandon Windows. | 02:39 |

| td123 | Zamadatx: it's system->administration->system monitor | 02:42 |

| lucas_ | Jordan_U, where to paste it | 02:43 |
| cristian | hello | 02:43 |
| Jordan_U | !paste | lucas_ | 02:43 |
| ubottu | lucas_: 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) | 02:43 |
| lazertek | zelrikriando: i mean you don't find a version that downloads and installs... usually is right above the dev in synaptic | 02:43 |
| moppen_ | main.c: In Funktion »read_config_from_file_desc«: | 02:43 |
| moppen_ | main.c:825: Warnung: Unverträgliche implizite Deklaration der eingebauten Funktion »strchr« | 02:43 |
| td123 | smallfoot-: you have to learn. gnu/linux is not windows. it won't act the same as windows. one of the most powerful things about it is the use of the terminal as unfriendly as that may sound | 02:43 |
| amatson97 | is any one here into DS emulators | 02:43 |
| the_darkside_986 | Is it normal to have multiple gvfsd and gvfsd-burn,-trashd processes running? I have a lot of them according to System Monitor. | 02:43 |

| SodaKiller | has anybody configured a the stylus on a tablet pc? | 02:44 |
| lenswipe | lazertek: No its the ones that come with a player bundled with them, interactual player, thats the ones VLC cant play | 02:44 |
| lazertek | landslide: kubuntu just means ubuntu but kde desktop | 02:44 |
| td123 | smallfoot-: if you want to, ask me a question describing you're situation | 02:44 |
| lazertek | zelrikriando: ah | 02:44 |
| Zamadatx | http://packages.ubuntu.com/feisty/games/desmume | 02:44 |
| smallfoot- | td123, i know... and i really do appreciete the terminal, its great for shell scripts, but at the same time, i want to be able todo many of the things from a GUI too | 02:44 |
| lenswipe | lazertek: There are others and what happens is when i press play VLC just closes... :'( | 02:44 |
| lucas_ | Jordan_U, http://paste.ubuntu.com/26981/ | 02:44 |

| td123 | smallfoot-: oh, you still have ntfs partitions then? | 02:49 |
| piju_ | zelrikriando, what the max value u could have ? | 02:49 |
| smallfoot- | td123, yeah, i have two disks, 1 with ext3 partitions, other disk with NTFS partitions | 02:49 |

| td123 | smallfoot-: oh, you're trying to change the disk label through ubuntu? | 02:49 |
| smallfoot- | td123, yeah | 02:49 |

| the_darkside_986 | Zamadatx: there has been only 1 time in my whole life I have managed to resize an NTFS partition w/o ruining it. DEFRAG it, preferably about 12 times. Belive me :/ | 02:50 |
| piju_ | zelrikriando, are u using hardy ? on laptop or desktop ? | 02:50 |
| Zamadatx | can i change filesystem to something else? | 02:50 |
| td123 | smallfoot-: uhhh why not through windows then? | 02:50 |
| Taylor | does audacity have change pitch effect in Linux? | 02:50 |
| zelrikriando | piju_, laptop hardy | 02:50 |
| bmunat | i've downloaded 8.04.1 from a couple different sources and I can't get the iso to successfully burn... and the md5 comes out different from what is listed on the ubuntu md5 hashes page.... anyone else having this problem? and any suggestions? | 02:50 |
| piju_ | ur cpu ? brand ? | 02:50 |
| smallfoot- | td123, sure, i can reboot... its just that there really ought to be a GUI todo it from ubuntu | 02:50 |
| zelrikriando | piju_, duo centrino | 02:50 |
| lazertek | Zamadatx: what do u mean | 02:50 |
| lucas_ | Jordan_U, it keeps saying something i think its some kind of bug in ubuntu | 02:50 |
| amatson97 | is any one here into DS emulators | 02:50 |
| Zamadatx | did you burtn at a slwo speed? | 02:50 |
| piju_ | zelrikriando, 32 or 64 ? | 02:50 |
| zelrikriando | piju_, my laptop is an ASUS | 02:50 |
| Zamadatx | i burned at 1x speed | 02:50 |
| zelrikriando | piju_, 32 as far as I know :) | 02:51 |
| Jordan_U | lucas_: What keeps saying what? | 02:51 |
| Zamadatx | the drive in ubuntu is called filesystem can i change the name? | 02:51 |
| moppen_ | yeahh it runs | 02:51 |
| td123 | smallfoot-: I found out how to do it :P | 02:51 |
| zelrikriando | piju_, why are you concerned? | 02:51 |
| Starkid | i have been trying to make partitions for ubuntu manually, i already have 2fat32 partitions on my 80gb sata, i tried to make but it says , cant exceed 4 primary partitions, can u guy help me with it? when i make / and boot partitions i cant make swap :S, can someone help me with it? | 02:51 |
| lazertek | amatson97: there are some for ubuntu if you looking | 02:51 |
| lucas_ | Jordan_U, it says it has broken packages | 02:51 |
| zelrikriando | piju_, if it heats too much....you will notice (kernel panic and stuff) | 02:51 |
| piju_ | zelrikriando, before this, im using debian, its temp only around 36-45 | 02:52 |
| smallfoot- | td123, how? | 02:52 |
| the_darkside_986 | Starkid: you must use another tool such as GParted and make one extended partition. The Ubuntu partitioner isn't advanced enough for making fancy partitions like that. | 02:52 |
| Zamadatx | whats with all the programs that arer Kblah | 02:52 |
| td123 | smallfoot-: first install ntfsprogs "sudo aptitude install ntfsprogs" | 02:52 |
| piju_ | zelrikriando, when im using hardy, my laptop temps went to 60++ when i load lots of apps | 02:52 |
| piju_ | zelrikriando, but not on debian | 02:52 |
| zelrikriando | piju_, the laptop do heat more with time...try cleaning the fan and stuff | 02:52 |
| the_darkside_986 | With GParted, you can make one extended partitions, and put multiple partitions within it. | 02:52 |
| bobrock | I guess I will live with this glitch | 02:52 |
| lazertek | Zamadatx: they are kde integrated programs | 02:52 |
| Starkid | the_darkside_986: if i put swap as extended, it will still work? | 02:52 |
| Jordan_U | lucas_: can you pastebin the output ( if any ) of "sudo dpkg --configure -a" ( even if it's spanish ) | 02:52 |
| Zamadatx | whats kde? | 02:52 |
| smallfoot- | td123, i always do 'sudo apt-get install ...' | 02:52 |
| Starkid | the_darkside_986: i m already using gparted, | 02:53 |
| td123 | smallfoot-: ok, do apt-get then | 02:53 |
| the_darkside_986 | It should. I believe that's what I do all the time. | 02:53 |
| lazertek | Zamadatx: a desktop enviornment like gnome.. you should really read up some stuff | 02:53 |
| bobrock | linux is cool | 02:53 |
| lucas_ | Jordan_U, wait i got another sources.list checking that | 02:53 |
| lazertek | bobrock: oh yea! | 02:53 |
| smallfoot- | bobrock, yeah it got some cool stuff, like compiz | 02:53 |
| Zamadatx | welll i just got ungrounded from comp after 2 years | 02:53 |
| the_darkside_986 | I have extended partitions: /, /home, and "linux swap" | 02:53 |
| amatson97 | is any one here into DS emulators | 02:53 |
| Zamadatx | ya | 02:53 |
| Starkid | ok, the_darkside_986: "/" and "/boot", primary and swap= extended? | 02:53 |
| Zamadatx | i agve link a while ago | 02:54 |
| the_darkside_986 | I don't have /boot separate, actually. | 02:54 |
| td123 | amatson97: you're lucky somebody responded ya :P | 02:54 |
| smallfoot- | amatson97, are you a girl? | 02:54 |
| td123 | lol | 02:54 |
| the_darkside_986 | I have first, an NTFS partition, and then an Extended Partition which I setup as /, /home, and "swap" | 02:54 |
| Starkid | oh right, thats wat the prob, | 02:54 |
| td123 | smallfoot-: did you install ntfsprogs? | 02:54 |
| the_darkside_986 | You can rename extended partitions' mount point from Ubuntu install though. | 02:54 |
| amatson97 | no i aint a girl | 02:55 |
| Starkid | m trying backtrack :s not ubuntu thanx anyways | 02:55 |
| bobrock | whats a good rss news reader | 02:55 |
| amatson97 | i have the software i have problems with it | 02:55 |

| zelrikriando | piju_, I ll tell you something....last month my laptop started to break...kernel panic and stuff...I looked at the temperature...90°C + when busy..I tried several things (putting books under the laptop...) ...but what fixed it is : take it appart , clean the fan AND the grid, changing the themal coupling paste | 02:55 |
| smallfoot- | amatson97, are you born 1997? | 02:55 |
| td123 | smallfoot-: ... so your basically saying no to something because it doesn't have a gui? | 02:55 |
| Zamadatx | this channle should be split... | 02:56 |
| amatson97 | no 1990 | 02:56 |
| lazertek | Zamadatx: why too many posts | 02:56 |
| Zamadatx | ya | 02:56 |
| smallfoot- | td123, well, i think it should have a gui, so its easy to use, and anyone can use it, but if i want use cli, i can do that | 02:56 |
| Zamadatx | im used to slower chats | 02:56 |
| lazertek | Zamadatx: you'll get used to it | 02:56 |
| Zamadatx | i hope so | 02:56 |
| bobrock | evolution is mail client | 02:56 |
| lazertek | Zamadatx: in a way its good... lot more people to help too | 02:57 |
| Zamadatx | anone have dolphin file manager? | 02:57 |
| bliZZardz | is dist-upgrade still supported for upgrading? | 02:57 |
| bobrock | cli is the best | 02:57 |
| bobrock | minimul gui | 02:57 |
| td123 | smallfoot-: show me whats so hard about using the terminal, here's how to do it. "sudo apt-get install ntfsprogs" then "sudo ntfslabel /dev/ntfspartition newlabel" that's it!!! how ez. you should try things before judging them.. | 02:57 |
| amatson97 | well if any one is willing to help PM me please cause i am trying to fix it i would be very greatful | 02:57 |
| nickrud | bliZZardz not preferred, do-release-upgrade is | 02:58 |
| lazertek | im out... later | 02:58 |
| smallfoot- | td123, with terminal, you have to remember stuff, its especially hard for users who dont know what to type | 02:58 |
| Jordan_U | lucas_: np | 02:58 |
| Zamadatx | hae to ask but can u make ubuntu faster? | 02:58 |
| bliZZardz | nickrud : i am running feisty and want to start using hardy. I have the cd for the latter. | 02:58 |
| smallfoot- | td123, personally, i often use terminal | 02:58 |
| nickrud | bliZZardz you'd have to go thru gutsy to get to hardy | 02:58 |
| td123 | smallfoot-: ... what do you use the terminal for then.. | 02:59 |
| bliZZardz | nickrud: or can i remove feisty and install hardy ? | 02:59 |
| nickrud | bliZZardz yes. | 02:59 |
| zelrikriando | I would suggest a fresh install | 02:59 |
| Zamadatx | is there a better thing than blender? | 02:59 |
| td123 | smallfoot-: I don't believe you if you're complaining about such a thing as ntfslabel | 02:59 |
| bliZZardz | nickrud : am trying this out for the first time - how do i save /home and then do the install? | 02:59 |
| smallfoot- | td123, apt-get, ls, uname, etc | 02:59 |
| Zamadatx | where can i see my system information and harware ram etc | 02:59 |
| cybertaur1 | Hello everyone, I have a question about amarok: is there an easy way to remove (or quarantine at least) duplicates in your library based on artist / title information? | 02:59 |
| cybertaur1 | Or should I write my own python script | 02:59 |
| zelrikriando | Zamadatx, blender is actually good | 02:59 |
| bliZZardz | nickrud : is dist-upgrade supported? (i guess not) | 03:00 |
| Zamadatx | i used it on windows | 03:00 |
| nickrud | bliZZardz best way is to backup to an external medium, and when you install the new version, make /home a separate partition , then return | 03:00 |
| td123 | smallfoot-: all of those things are harder to use then ntfslabel. Just want to point that out | 03:00 |
| nickrud | bliZZardz dist-upgrade isn't supported for skipping releases, never has been | 03:00 |
| zelrikriando | Zamadatx, unfortunalty other options can not be installed natively...maybe with Wine though | 03:00 |
| Zamadatx | wine is slow | 03:00 |
| bliZZardz | nickrud : can i just copy the files or do i need to take care of MBR etc?? | 03:00 |
| smallfoot- | td123, yeah, but you have to use ntfslabel for ntfs, ext3label for ext3, etc fatlabel for fat32, i think, etc i think there should just be a 'label' command | 03:01 |
| zelrikriando | Zamadatx, what makes you think that? | 03:01 |
| Zamadatx | ive used it | 03:01 |
| sunaboz1 | is curl faster than wget for http and ftp downloads? or just the same? | 03:01 |
| nickrud | bliZZardz all you really need to backup is everything in your $HOME, that will retain all your personal configs. The factoid clone, which I'll give, helps you retain your package list easily | 03:01 |
| nickrud | !clone | bliZZardz | 03:01 |
| zelrikriando | Zamadatx, for what software? | 03:01 |
| Zamadatx | anything better than ktorrent bcause i might get that | 03:01 |
| ubottu | bliZZardz: To replicate your packages selection on another machine (or restore it if re-installing), you can type « dpkg --get-selections > ~/my-packages », move the file "my-packages" to the other machine, and there type « sudo dpkg --set-selections < my-packages && sudo apt-get dselect-upgrade » - See also !automate | 03:01 |
| Zamadatx | can i make my ubuntu partition larger ithout damaging it? | 03:02 |
| anteaya | i am browsing the screensavers, and the Pictures Folder screensaver is displaying some unusual pictures. How do I find out where these pictures are located? | 03:02 |
| Zamadatx | becaus ei only made it 20 gb | 03:02 |
| Zamadatx | i want it 30 | 03:02 |
| cybertaur1 | Zamadatx: I'm using utorrent on wine, and it works really well | 03:02 |
| Zamadatx | well thats not bery hevy | 03:02 |
| smallfoot- | Zamadatx, mine is 20 gb too, its enough for me... i think you can enlarge it with GParted | 03:02 |
| Alfie | hi everyone | 03:02 |
| smallfoot- | hi alfie! :) | 03:02 |
| Zamadatx | and nothing happens to ubuntu? | 03:02 |

| Curtis | ? | 03:03 |
| sunaboz1 | is curl faster than wget for http and ftp downloads? or just the same? | 03:03 |
| zelrikriando | I remember how I got my partition larger | 03:03 |
| Alfie | I need help... | 03:03 |
| bliZZardz | nickrud : ok ..am going ahead with the remove+install - hope all goes well and i am able to connect back within few hrs :) | 03:03 |
| Zamadatx | is there any speech t text software? | 03:03 |
| zelrikriando | ...I wiped my whole system :D | 03:03 |
| nickrud | bliZZardz just be sure to back up your $HOME to external media | 03:03 |
| Alfie | I'm new | 03:03 |
| Zamadatx | not text to speech speech to text | 03:03 |
| anteaya | Alfie: state the question, if someone can help you they will | 03:03 |
| Zamadatx | why would you do that? | 03:03 |
| bliZZardz | nickrud : what is the best way to backup? | 03:03 |
| cybertaur1 | sunaboz1: I'd imagine (though I'm no expert) that the limiting factor on both is your internet connection, not the specific tools, so I'd guess them to be the same. but like I said, I don't know. | 03:03 |
| Zamadatx | i like this irc thing | 03:04 |
| Alfie | I'm new in ubuntu, is my first day, so i'm learning | 03:04 |
| nickrud | bliZZardz me, I just plugged in my external and drag & dropped everything. I was lazy. | 03:04 |
| bliZZardz | :) | 03:04 |
| bliZZardz | nickrud : and remove feisty? | 03:04 |
| anteaya | Alfie: good, welcome | 03:04 |
| Zamadatx | where can i see information like ram and hardrive size etc? | 03:04 |
| zelrikriando | Zamadatx, I got rid of 3 messy partition + I took the opportunity to get a clean fresh install of hardy :) | 03:04 |
| Alfie | Thanks | 03:04 |
| Zamadatx | o | 03:04 |
| nickrud | bliZZardz just do the install, it will reformat the partition so your install will be from scratch | 03:04 |
| td123 | smallfoot-: because if you combined all those tools together, you would be dealing with an overly complex application. It'll be a lot harder to keep it up. smaller apps tend to be faster/easier to maintain | 03:04 |
| Alfie | How can I install half life | 03:05 |
| bliZZardz | nickrud : cool .thanks | 03:05 |
| quaternio | hi guys, i have a question about upgrading my system | 03:05 |
| Alfie | I'm using wine | 03:05 |

| lucas_ | Jordan_U, now i cant get firefox in spanish... | 03:05 |
| cybertaur1 | sunaboz1: http://episteme.arstechnica.com/eve/forums/a/tpc/f/96509133/m/1340947045 - "they both use the same protocol", also maybe http://daniel.haxx.se/docs/curl-vs-wget.html helps | 03:05 |

| smallfoot- | td123, yeah, but would be easier for end-users who dont know so much about their computer and what file system it is | 03:05 |
| zelrikriando | I do not recommend the 'upgrade' feature of ubuntu | 03:05 |
| nickrud | bliZZardz seriously, think about giving 10-15gb to / , the right amount of swap, and all the rest to /home . Makes backups and re-installs (for whatever reason) much simpler | 03:05 |
| Alfie | I receive this error.,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,err:dosmem:load_winedos Could not load winedos.dll, DOS subsystem unavailable | 03:06 |

| anteaya | Alfie: I don't know what half life is, is it a windows program? | 03:06 |
| quaternio | the online instructions say to make sure your system is up to date using the update manager. and then if you click on 'check...' again, it will tell you that there s an update available. | 03:06 |
| quaternio | however, mine doesnt say that. | 03:06 |
| Alfie | Yes, is game | 03:06 |
| td123 | smallfoot-: ok, fine, you win. make a front-end for all those apps and call it glabel, otherwise stop complaining | 03:06 |
| Alfie | an old game | 03:06 |
| quaternio | i am currently using fiesty. | 03:06 |
| zelrikriando | quaternio, what does it say? | 03:06 |
| quaternio | zelrikriando: it just says the system is up to date | 03:06 |
| Zamadatx | what month oes the next ubuntu version come out? | 03:06 |
| Alfie | Anteaya, I'm trying to install Counter Strike, using wine | 03:06 |
| bliZZardz | nickrud : am a relative n00b on partitions - hence do not understand what you just said. | 03:07 |
| zelrikriando | Zamadatx, october I think | 03:07 |
| quaternio | zelrikriando: i've even checked that the proper repos are being checked. | 03:07 |
| cybertaur1 | alfie: http://ubuntudaily.com/2007/02/22/play-half-life-and-other-steam-games-with-wine/ | 03:07 |
| nickrud | bliZZardz a sec, I'll see if I can find a short, good explanation | 03:07 |
| piju_ | zelrikriando, my cpu is intel core 2 duo, i see 2 temp value now, why cpu1 is hotter than cpu0 ? | 03:07 |
| LordFlashy | Another process is using the packaging system database (probably some other Adept application or apt-get or aptitude). | 03:07 |
| anteaya | Alfie: i don't know wine, i don't use it, but from what i understand you can't install windows programs on linux, you can just use them with wine | 03:07 |
| LordFlashy | how can I fix this? | 03:07 |
| zelrikriando | quaternio, I recommend a fresh install of the system if possible...but that is just my opinion | 03:07 |
| bliZZardz | nickrud : any good links will be good/ | 03:07 |
| supertard | how do i install mysql php extension, the repository is saying 404 when i try to install with sudo synaptic | 03:07 |
| LordFlashy | it's occuring after rebooting | 03:07 |
| anteaya | Alfie: have you gone to this page yet? http://www.winehq.org/ | 03:07 |
| Alfie | yep | 03:08 |
| Alfie | I can install for example Winamp | 03:08 |
| Jordan_U | LordFlashy: Is another application using the package management system ( synaptic, apt, dpkg ) ? | 03:08 |
| Alfie | or Winrar | 03:08 |
| quaternio | zelrikriando: i was afraid that might be the advice :( | 03:08 |
| zelrikriando | piju_, I am not sure why...mine are at about the same temp | 03:08 |
| Lynet | Alfie: Checked the appdb at winehq? | 03:08 |
| cybertaur1 | alfie: or better yet, http://blog.linuxoss.com/2007/02/wine-gaming-steam-half-life-half-life-2-counter-strike-source-and-16/ seems to have step-by-step instructions | 03:08 |
| td123 | piju_: 1 cpu tends to be hotter then the other because one is used more since a lot of apps are still programed for 1 processor. this is normal | 03:08 |
| Zamadatx | is qcad any good/ | 03:08 |
| smallfoot- | Alfie, you can install Winamp, WinRAR etc with Wine.... | 03:08 |
| quaternio | zelrikriando: is there no way to, er, update the update manager or something? | 03:08 |
| Alfie | but with the setup file from Hal life i receive a message saying 16 not suppported | 03:08 |
| LordFlashy | it's been happening since adept stalled the other night installing sun java | 03:08 |
| zelrikriando | quaternio, upgrade is not so bad....but doesnt match a real fresh install :) | 03:09 |
| piju_ | td123, how to make load balance between 2 cpu ? | 03:09 |
| Alfie | 16buts sorrry | 03:09 |
| smallfoot- | Alfie, though why not use Linux software instead? there are good music player for Linux such as XMMS, Audocious, Rhymebox, etc | 03:09 |
| Bridger | **A simple question for anyone that can help: The title bars (of applications) on my screen just randomly seemed to disappear. How can I fix this? | 03:09 |
| Alfie | yea, but I did that cause I was trying to install something | 03:09 |
| LordFlashy | how can I pull up a list of processes to kill? | 03:09 |
| zelrikriando | quaternio, I cannot help you on this, but there exist some 'manual' ways to do it I think | 03:09 |
| supertard | the ubuntu repo is broken | 03:09 |
| Alfie | Now i know i can | 03:09 |
| Bridger | Does anyone know how to bring back title bars? | 03:10 |
| Alfie | but i have problems witth that game | 03:10 |
| cortef | does anyone speak russian ? | 03:10 |
| quaternio | zelrikriando: ok, thanks anyway for chiming in. | 03:10 |
| td123 | piju_: you can't, the applications have to be written to use threads otherwise they are executed on 1 processor. this is also true on all other oses (win, mac...) | 03:10 |
| Alfie | tell me a game that can be played as counter strike but linux based so i'll use | 03:10 |
| clever | !universe | 03:10 |
| ubottu | 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 | 03:10 |
| Alfie | sorry, my english is very poor | 03:10 |
| piju_ | td123, thanks for explanation | 03:11 |
| smallfoot- | Alfie, you can play Counter Strike in Linux using Wine | 03:11 |
| nhaines | I'm currently having a problem with flashplugin-nonfree on my desktop computer where if I go to Flickr, for example, I don't see a lot of Flash overlays such as the little arrows next to the navigation menu options. Using the same version of flashplayer-nonfree on my laptop computer yields normal operation. Does anyone have any suggestions on how to fix this? removing the package from my desktop computer and reinstalling hasn't hel | 03:11 |
| zelrikriando | quaternio, I did a reinstall 3 weeks ago...I made some backups first on some DVD's...it wasnt as bad | 03:11 |
| Jordan_U | LordFlashy: Do you get any output from "sudo lsof | grep /var/lib/dpkg/lock" ? | 03:11 |
| Alfie | Smallfoot, I know but i have problems installing it | 03:11 |
| Bridger | **A simple question for anyone that can help: The title bars (of applications) on my screen just randomly seemed to disappear. How can I fix this? | 03:12 |
| td123 | piju_: np, we're just in a state of slowly transitioning into multiple cpus on desktops so more apps should start showing up to utilize multiple processors, just really slowly | 03:12 |

| nickrud | bliZZardz http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=282018 is decent. | 03:12 |
| Jordan_U | LordFlashy: Ok, but nothing other than that? | 03:12 |
| ffm | Hey, any idea why flash is so slow when fullscreen in ubuntu? | 03:13 |
| LordFlashy | nope | 03:13 |
| piju_ | td123, im using 32bit on 64bit capable cpu now | 03:13 |
| Jordan_U | ffm: Adobe hates Linux | 03:13 |

| bliZZardz | nickrud : thanks | 03:13 |
| ffm | Jordan_U: any way I can fix that? | 03:13 |
| Shoopuf | Bridger: I found that my title bars disappeared entirely yesterday. Compiz-Fusions "Window Decorations" seemed to be the culprit. | 03:13 |
| piju_ | td123, is it diffrent when im using 64bit ? i mean the using of cpu | 03:13 |
| quaternio | zelrikriando: yeah... i'm just complaining :p | 03:13 |
| piju_ | *the use of cpu | 03:13 |
| anteaya | i am browsing the screensavers, and the Pictures Folder screensaver is displaying some unusual pictures. How do I find out where these pictures are located? There are images of people with guns on my computer, and this goes against my personal philosophy. How do I find them to remove them? | 03:14 |
| anteaya | please | 03:14 |
| Alfie | Is there anyone who can help me but in private | 03:14 |
| LordFlashy | it's ok I think I'll reinstall | 03:14 |
| LordFlashy | thanks :D | 03:14 |
| Bridger | nhaines and Shoopuf: Thanks, I was able to bring back at least the basic Ubuntu/Human title bars, so I should be able to at least function. I'll play around and see if I can't get my nice Compiz themes back as well. | 03:14 |
| ubunubi | is there a good place to go to look for *.deb files of 3rd party apps that are newer versions than what's in the repo -- but aren't availa directly from the software developer's website ? ..maybe someone who tends to compile newer stuff and post it on their own PPA or something? | 03:14 |
| nickrud | Jordan_U I was told last night that adobe released a new version of flash that didn't quite jibe with ubuntu's sound setup, about a week after hardy release | 03:14 |
| nickrud | Jordan_U so adobe doesn't hate linux, it just likes to screw around with us | 03:15 |
| nhaines | Bridger: congrats! :D Get "Advanced Desktop Effects" from Add/Remove and you can play around with it. It'll show up in System > Preferences as well. | 03:15 |
| Shoopuf | anteaya: Only place I know that holds pictures is /home/your_name/Pictures ..but there might be a few others, try there first | 03:15 |
| td123 | piju_: yes, the 64bit version utilizes all the 64bit capabilities (mainly just more/larger registers) which might have a performance increase but that's only noticeable if you're using it for intensive apps. but the 32bit version has more support for different things like flash without having to install additional stuff | 03:15 |
| nhaines | ubunubi: there is hardy-proposed as well as hardy-backports repositories from Ubuntu. | 03:15 |
| bliZZardz | nickrud : i have taken the backup of /home - last Q : will the cd install ask me for the settings? if yes, how can i just format the present disk and start from scratch? | 03:15 |
| Bridger | nhaines: I've already got that on my menu and ready to go... but how would I go about getting Compiz/Emerald set as the default window manager? | 03:15 |
| Candol | I have the compizconfig installed how do I set different backgrouds for each desktop? | 03:16 |
| anteaya | Shoopuf, that directory has been deleted since i never use it, thanks though | 03:16 |
| ubunubi | nhaines:: something more recent than that. i looked in proposed...i guess i should check backports | 03:16 |
| nickrud | bliZZardz the whole disk, you're not running any other os on the machine? | 03:16 |
| nhaines | Bridger: Compiz is already set by default. | 03:16 |
| erUSUL | !ccsm | Candol | 03:16 |
| ubottu | Candol: ccsm is To enable advanced customization of desktop effects in Ubuntu 8.04 (Hardy), install 'compizconfig-settings-manager' or 'simple-ccsm'. If you install the latter, a new option will appear in your appearance properties - See also !compiz - Help in #compiz-fusion | 03:16 |

| bliZZardz | nickrud : have a dual boot(win xp) | 03:16 |
| Bridger | Ack! Now I'm having another problem... every time I click inside of Firefox, it goes full screen. Not the default full-screen either... I'm not sure what's happening. | 03:16 |
| ubunubi | nhaines:: naw it's not in backports either :(( it's too niche to wind up there (those take attention from higher ups to get in those repos) | 03:16 |
| nhaines | ubunubi: that is true. | 03:17 |
| nickrud | bliZZardz use manual partitioning, and set it to use the same partitions you already have for ubuntu. | 03:17 |
| ubunubi | nhaines: i checked getdeb. com ..but it only has newer version of major software packages like Gimp and Blender | 03:17 |
| td123 | piju_: temps will be the same. 64bit apps are usually not multithreaded if the app for 32bit isn't | 03:17 |
| bliZZardz | nickrud : ok | 03:17 |
| bliZZardz | nickrud : anything else that i need t keep in mind? can i startoff/ | 03:17 |

| odinriko | Is there a way in gnome to make the panels not show on a specific workspace? | 03:32 |
| Drk_Guy | Thanks Bodsda | 03:32 |
| Bodsda | Drk_Guy, no probs ;~) | 03:32 |
| td123 | obf213: hmm... dunno, that plugin seems to be really stable along with ff3 (I haven't heard if it crashing once) try googleing it and include the website that is crashing it | 03:32 |
| obf213 | any flash crashes the first time its open | 03:32 |
| Bodsda | odinriko, i dont think so, try asking in #gnome | 03:32 |
| odinriko | bodsda: thank you, will do | 03:33 |
| td123 | obf213: you could try reinstalling ff3 and flash freshly and see if you're configuration is screwed up but other then that, dunno | 03:33 |
| td123 | obf213: you could also just remove flash all together to stop making it crash | 03:34 |
| obf213 | td123, quick question does your firefox ask you to save tabs. | 03:34 |
| obf213 | you cant use internetz w/o flash | 03:34 |
| Bodsda | obf213, you can change settings in ff's preferences | 03:34 |
| td123 | obf213: yes, I leave that since I sometimes say yes :) | 03:34 |
| Bodsda | obf213, yes you can, you just cant view things that use flash | 03:34 |
| Curtis | anyone have the rtl8187b? | 03:35 |
| bastid_raZor | the topbar of the gnome desktop.. how might i change the color of the font where it says applications places system? | 03:35 |
| obf213 | Bodsda, yes which in todays day and age is internetz | 03:35 |
| rand0m | how do I get more options in my "add to panel" in gnome? I want to have a tasklist with icons instead of tiles like in xfce | 03:35 |
| starn | does anyone know how to get sound to work in FireFox 3 [Ubuntu 8.04] in any formate.. Flash or others... i have the plugins and still does not work. | 03:35 |
| Curtis | starn: do you get sound when the computer turns on? | 03:36 |
| Bodsda | obf213, i assume internetz = The Internet in which case, no, the internet is not run with flash. | 03:36 |
| obf213 | hmm i am skeptical that i have ff3, it has never once given me the option to save tabs and its not in mu preferences | 03:36 |
| starn | Curtis: yes all my other programs have sound currently i got teamspeak runing with sound | 03:36 |
| obf213 | Bodsda, im not saying the internet is run with flash. im saying there is so much flash content out there it would suck tonot have it | 03:36 |
| nhaines | Bodsda: he probably meant "internetz" = the World Wide Web. | 03:36 |
| wols | starn: start ff3 from a xterm then try again and check xterm output | 03:37 |
| Bodsda | obf213, many people disagree, there are CLI web browsers which definately dont rely on flash | 03:37 |
| joshman09 | still unable to close the wine program that seems to be stuck | 03:37 |
| === fernando is now known as Guest61799 | ||
| Bodsda | nhaines, yeah | 03:37 |
| joshman09 | how can i force close it | 03:37 |
| td123 | obf213, you can run update manager and press check to see if there are any updates for you but ff3 w/ adobe flash should be as stable as they get | 03:37 |
| Curtis | huh | 03:37 |
| tech0007 | joshman09: killall wine | 03:37 |
| starn | Curtis: i dont even know what xterm is. i started useing linux [ubuntu] to learn to use it. | 03:37 |
| Bodsda | joshman09, you have been given many solutions, please try one or two of them | 03:38 |
| Curtis | have you tried to restart the computer? | 03:38 |
| starn | Curtis: me? i've done every thing i know of. | 03:38 |
| nhaines | Bodsda: That's not very helpful. He said he was still unable to close it. Presumably after trying wineserver -k | 03:38 |
| bullgard4 | What is an 'about channel' as in ChanServ: "http://www.kernelnewbies.org/ is not on this network, which is why you're on an "about" channel." | 03:38 |
| tech0007 | joshman09: or ask #winehq | 03:39 |
| Bodsda | nhaines, like i said, he has been given many solutions, i can almost guarantee one of them works, if it doesnt he only has to restart x | 03:39 |
| Curtis | make sure that firefox does not have any updates | 03:39 |
| afallenhope | hey I get the followign error: Error connecting to ftp: Access denied: 530 | 03:39 |
| joshman09 | thanks guys | 03:40 |
| Bodsda | bullgard4, #freenode please, its not an ubuntu related issue | 03:40 |
| afallenhope | I'm using curlftps.. I tried it as a normal user as well as root | 03:40 |
| bullgard4 | Bodsda: He Mr. policeman, I will not obey your order because your reasoning is wrong. | 03:40 |
| banisterfiend | hey guys, how do i get my printer working? it's a usb printer | 03:41 |
| wols | !printing | banisterfiend | 03:41 |
| ubottu | banisterfiend: Printing in Ubuntu is done with cups. See https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Printers - https://wiki.ubuntu.com/HardwareSupportComponentsPrinters - http://linuxprinting.org - Printer sharing: https://wiki.ubuntu.com/NetworkPrintingFromWindows | 03:41 |
| nhaines | bullgard4: The reasoning is correct. Freenode members will be able to give a better answer than Ubuntu members. | 03:41 |
| afallenhope | Sorry guys I looked up the error code.. innvalid password. | 03:41 |
| xantres | Hello, is this a place where an Ubuntu noob can seek help? | 03:42 |
| wols | xantres: yes | 03:42 |
| Bodsda | bullgard4, it was not an order, merely a suggestion to where you would find an answer to your problem. But it is not an Ubuntu issue, which is why i pointed you elsewhere for your answer | 03:42 |
| alraune | here | 03:42 |
| tech0007 | !welcome | xantres | 03:42 |
| ubottu | xantres: Welcome to #ubuntu - the Ubuntu support channel. | 03:42 |
| Phobos | anyone know how to get /etc/motd to show in a customized livecd? | 03:42 |
| krsnadasa | is there a way to see what hardware you have installed on your system so when you recompile your kernel you can select only those drivers? | 03:42 |
| wols | Bodsda: he has a history of asking OT questions | 03:42 |
| wols | krsnadasa: you can but why do you want to remove drivers from the kernel? | 03:42 |
| Bodsda | wols, cheers dude, il bear that in mind | 03:42 |
| krsnadasa | wols: no need if i am running it on a laptop so how do you check ? | 03:43 |
| starn | Curtis: i might of found my prob but i have all updates. | 03:43 |
| xantres | I am trying to get my dual monitors working, can anyone assist? | 03:43 |
| wols | krsnadasa: not true. | 03:43 |
| krsnadasa | wols: how so ? | 03:43 |
| wols | krsnadasa: lshw for example. you are also STRONGLY discouraged to compile your own kernel | 03:43 |
| smallfoot- | 2.6.26 will have support for UDF 2.50, please add support for 2.60 | 03:43 |
| Curtis | stran: what is it? | 03:43 |
| starn | Curtis: ok i did all i knew to do.. i even ran firefox useing padsp. | 03:44 |
| krsnadasa | wols: i am not going to need b43 dirvers or realtek etc | 03:44 |
| wols | krsnadasa: it takes a few MB for modules and that all but you become a lot more flexible and your question shows you don't know much about kernels or compiling or such either which means there is a high failure of borking it | 03:44 |
| wols | erm, a high chance of borking it | 03:44 |
| cirkit | krsnadasa: You could always blacklist / unload modules from your kernel. | 03:44 |
| wols | krsnadasa: just don't ask here when your kernel breaks please | 03:44 |
| td123 | xantres: https://wiki.ubuntu.com/DisplayConfigGTK | 03:44 |
| krsnadasa | wols: fine enough | 03:45 |
| cirkit | krsnadasa: Unless you have experience with kernel compiling and more than a basic understanding on how the Linux kernel works, do not compile your own it is very likely something will certainly go wrong. | 03:45 |
| td123 | xantres: what I mean is install DisplayConfigGTK | 03:45 |
| nhaines | krsnadasa: Most drivers are compiled as kernel modules and are therefore not actually loaded unless you actually have the hardware. | 03:45 |
| krsnadasa | wols: the thing is i tried installing the newest compat drivers becuase the ubuntu ones are a lil falty for my iwl4956 and i get a module error thats why i want to compile a new kernel | 03:45 |
| cirkit | krsnadasa: As I said, for the modules you don't need, you can statically remove them from the kernel. | 03:46 |
| alraune | cirkit: what do you think of kernelcheck | 03:46 |
| wols | !tell krsnadasa about errors | 03:46 |
| ubottu | krsnadasa, please see my private message | 03:46 |
| krsnadasa | cirkit: ^^^ | 03:46 |
| Bodsda | krsnadasa, you dont need to compile a kernel because a driver doesnt wor | 03:46 |
| krsnadasa | nhaines: ^^^ | 03:46 |
| Bodsda | work* | 03:46 |
| nhaines | krsnadasa: You should only need to compile the iwl4956 drivers as a module. It should not require recompiling the kernel. | 03:46 |
| LanUser | Hello - Hello - I enabled udev to keep my TV card IDs from changing and now X won't start properly, I goes full resolution temporarily but then goes black and ends in a low resolution mode | 03:46 |
| starn | Curtis: with xterm i get "** Message: GetValue variable 1 (1) and says same thing but with 2 (2) | 03:47 |
| xantres | td123: it states: "displayconfig-gtk will be accessed from the existing System > Preferences > Screen Resolution dialog, via an "Advanced..." button on that dialog." I do not have an advanced button on that dialog screen | 03:47 |
| wols | LanUser: udev is always enabled by default | 03:47 |
| cirkit | alraune: I've not used it. | 03:47 |
| wols | LanUser: you never enable it | 03:47 |
| krsnadasa | nhaines, Bodsda: i know but when i try to modprobe the driver i get a error: not right symbols or something and someone told me i don't have the right libs or kernel | 03:47 |
| krsnadasa | cirkit: ^^^ | 03:47 |
| LanUser | wols: not on my recently installed 8.04 system it wasn't, at lest in rc2 | 03:47 |
| wols | krsnadasa: where did you get that 4965 module exactly? | 03:48 |
| Bodsda | krsnadasa, fix the dependency errors then | 03:48 |
| nhaines | krsnadasa: you will have to compile the module specifically for your kernel, but you shouldn't need to do more than that. | 03:48 |
| krsnadasa | combat wireless | 03:48 |
| krsnadasa | Bodsda: how ? | 03:48 |
| wols | krsnadasa: and that is what? | 03:48 |
| cirkit | krsnadasa: By default, that module is included with the default Ubuntu kernel. | 03:48 |
| krsnadasa | wols: google | 03:48 |
| nhaines | Bodsda: It isn't a dependency error. The binary modules are not compatible with her kernel. | 03:48 |
| td123 | xantres: restart x then? dunno | 03:48 |
| nhaines | cirkit: she said she needs a newer version. | 03:48 |
| Bodsda | krsnadasa, it said you dont have the right libs or kernel, -- go get them | 03:48 |
| unlink | If i click "Set..." in the dropdown from the clock applet, my entire session locks up, except for the authentication dialog that pops up. Which is a problem if it pops up behind another window. | 03:48 |
| wols | krsnadasa: exact error please | 03:48 |
| cirkit | nhaines: Interesting. | 03:48 |
| krsnadasa | cirkit: i told you its acting funky and other posts say to use compat wireless | 03:48 |
| unlink | Which application should i file this as a bug under? | 03:49 |
| krsnadasa | Bodsda: it dosent say that thats what some one told me | 03:49 |
| xantres | td123: I have restarted my pc several times while troubleshooting this issue, is there anything else you recommend, this is a new install | 03:49 |
| Bodsda | krsnadasa, we need error messages as wols said | 03:49 |
| speckal | I just installed 8.04 and restarted to boot for the first time. Where the boot menu should be, there is a flashing cursor. How can I fix? | 03:49 |
| unlink | gnome-panel? metacity? policykit-gnome? | 03:49 |
| krsnadasa | wols, Bodsda, cirkit: hold on a sec let me recompile that driver brb | 03:49 |
| pvl1 | unlink, do u have compiz running? | 03:50 |
| Bodsda | !paste > krsnadasa | 03:50 |
| ubottu | krsnadasa, please see my private message | 03:50 |
| td123 | xantres: hmmm, seems odd. are you sure you're looking in the right place | 03:50 |
| alraune | cirkit: I tried once and found it easy to use, but on the testmachine (PIII, 600MHZ, 256RAM) it took hours, so I broke up then ; ?? is it right to think you get a kernel specialized for the machine you compile on ? | 03:50 |
| s3a | would ubuntu brainstorm be the right place to suggest a new feature for firefox? | 03:51 |
| xantres | td123: As far I am aware, there is only 1 System>preferences>Screen Resolution | 03:51 |
| cirkit | alraune: I can imagine it take a while on a P3. I've got Ubuntu on my laptop with a core2duo and 4GB RAM so I wouldn't suspect it take very long. | 03:51 |
| Bodsda | s3a, no | 03:51 |
| s3a | Bodsda: were would i suggest my idea then? | 03:51 |
| Bodsda | s3a, the firefox website probably | 03:51 |
| alraune | cirkit: is it right to think you get a kernel specialized for the machine you compile on ? | 03:51 |
| Bodsda | alraune, when you compile something, it is compiled for the kernel your machine is using | 03:52 |
| s3a | Bodsda: o lol that was kind of a ridiculous question i asked then | 03:52 |
| * Derander hates Postfix. | 03:52 | |
| Bodsda | s3a, yeah ;~) | 03:52 |
| s3a | Bodsda: thx | 03:52 |
| cirkit | alraune: What Bodsda said. | 03:52 |
| Bodsda | s3a, your welcome ;~) | 03:52 |
| speckal | I just installed ubuntu 8.04 and restarted to boot for the first time. Where the grub boot menu should be, there is a flashing cursor. How can I fix? | 03:53 |
| krsnadasa | WARNING: "rfkill_force_state" [/usr/src/compat-wireless-2008-07-12/drivers/net/wireless/iwlwifi/iwlcore.ko] undefined! | 03:53 |
| pvl1 | speckal, did u try to open anything else? | 03:53 |
| alraune | Bodsda,cirkit: but kernelcheck installs a whole new kernel | 03:53 |
| pvl1 | speckal, also can u reboot from the terminal | 03:53 |
| speckal | pvl1: open? machine will not boot | 03:54 |
| Bodsda | alraune, sorry, i dont know what your question is, i just answered the compiling question | 03:54 |
| pvl1 | speckal, oh. idk then, did u check the forums? | 03:54 |
| cirkit | alraune: I'll check it out as I have not used kernelcheck before. Maybe I'm too old school. | 03:54 |
| speckal | yes. been googling for an hour now | 03:54 |
| xantres | td123: Those screenshots near the bottom of the document mentioned do not look familiar | 03:55 |
| xantres | td123: is there a package I need to install for this to work? | 03:55 |
| td123 | xantres: those could be how they might look like (i think those were developement docs) | 03:55 |
| Bodsda | speckal, have you tried reinstalling grub? | 03:55 |
| jachee | say I've got a list of about 5000 files that are spread out through a whole lot of directories throughout a hard disk (the list is brought to me by locate and pipes and sort) now I want to move those files to another place and have the directory structure replicated. mv doesn't seem to be the tool for this, anyone have any insight? | 03:55 |
| td123 | xantres... didn't you install displayconfiggtk? | 03:56 |
| phish | !iso | 03:56 |
| ubottu | To mount an ISO disc image, type « sudo mount -o loop <ISO-filename> <mountpoint> » - There is a list of useful cd image conversion tools at http://wiki.linuxquestions.org/wiki/CD_Image_Conversion - Always verify the ISO using !MD5 before !burning. | 03:56 |
| pvl1 | speckal, do u have initscripts installed? | 03:56 |
| speckal | ? | 03:56 |
| xantres | td123: where can I find that in the add/remove menu, or shall I use the synaptic package manager? | 03:56 |
| krsnadasa | wols, Bodsda, cirkit: http://paste.ubuntu.com/26991/ is the error | 03:57 |
| Shujah | xantres, menu>add remove | 03:57 |
| pvl1 | speckal, in synaptic | 03:57 |
| td123 | xantres: ahhh nvm, type "sudo displayconfig-gtk" | 03:57 |
| alraune | Bodsda: I asked if -when you compile a kernel on a machine instead of using an ready "all fitting" one, won't you then get a taller and kernel supporting the Hardware better ? | 03:57 |
| Bodsda | krsnadasa, have you tried doing what it says? | 03:57 |
| krsnadasa | wols, Bodsda, cirkit: http://paste.ubuntu.com/26992/ is the dmsg | 03:57 |
| speckal | pvl1: I cannot get there. My machine will not boot | 03:57 |
| krsnadasa | Bodsda: what press dmsg ? | 03:58 |
| pvl1 | speckal, does it get past grub? | 03:58 |
| td123 | xantres: did that help? | 03:58 |
| Shoopuf | I've seen a Gnome Panel 'widget' before that contains system monitoring information... How do I get that? | 03:58 |
| Bodsda | alraune, only if you somehow manage to work out what all the drivers are for and somehow select the correct ones then maybe, in general its just way WAY to much hassle | 03:58 |
| bastid_raZor | the topbar of the gnome desktop.. how might i change the color of the font where it says applications places system? | 03:58 |
| Bodsda | krsnadasa, look at dmesg | 03:58 |
| speckal | pvl1: no. that's where the flashing cursor appears... where grub should be | 03:58 |
| jachee | Shoopuf: right-click your panel, click Add to Panel, it's on the list | 03:58 |
| krsnadasa | Bodsda: http://paste.ubuntu.com/26992/ is the output | 03:58 |
| tech0007 | Shoopuf: rightclick on panel then add to panel | 03:58 |
| pvl1 | speckal, ah then its a grub problem. do u have the live cd? | 03:58 |
| Shoopuf | jachee, tech0007: Is there one for temperature? | 03:59 |
| Kefga_X_ | My gateway laptop is working great on Ubuntu, except for one thing. I have no control over brightness... I've been googling for about 3 days, but still can't solve it, please help! | 03:59 |
| speckal | pvl1: yes | 03:59 |
| Shoopuf | motherboard/vidia card | 03:59 |
| Shujah | Shoopuf, would be show computer frequency | 03:59 |
| tech0007 | Shoopuf: just check the list | 03:59 |
| pvl1 | speckal, so just use it to reinstall grub | 03:59 |
| Bodsda | krsnadasa, yeah, that just says your driver isnt compiled correctly ,.,. lol | 03:59 |
| krsnadasa | wols, cirkit: does that mean i have to recompile kernel ? | 03:59 |
| speckal | pvl1: didn't work | 03:59 |
| krsnadasa | Bodsda: well how else do i compile it ? | 03:59 |
| pvl1 | how did u reinstall it | 03:59 |
| offline | hi, on synaptic, there are packages with ubuntu icon on their side. what does it mean? | 03:59 |
| obf213 | removing ubufox i think was the problem | 03:59 |
| speckal | pvl1: same behavior with opensuse 11.0, ubuntu 8.04 and ubuntu 7.10 | 03:59 |
| obf213 | it was messing up stuff | 03:59 |
| Bodsda | krsnadasa, what process did u use to compile it? | 04:00 |
| starn | does anyone know why even with me runing firefox 3 under padsp and have my flash plugin and still does not have sound?i got the video just no sound all other programs have sound hope some one can help me. | 04:00 |
| krsnadasa | Bodsda: i did a make clean, make, make install, modprobe iwl4965 | 04:00 |
| speckal | pvl1: I have grub installed both in the boot partition header and in the drive's mbr | 04:00 |
| Shujah | starn, download libflashsupport from synaptic | 04:00 |
| Bodsda | !compile | krsnadasa | 04:00 |
| ubottu | krsnadasa: Compiling software from source? Read the tips at https://help.ubuntu.com/community/CompilingSoftware (But remember to search for pre-built !packages first) | 04:00 |
| matelot | Hi is "devilspie" still required - if I want to set a default workspace for an app ? | 04:00 |
| pvl1 | speckal, did u edit the menu.lst? | 04:00 |
| matelot | in 8.0.4 | 04:00 |
| speckal | yeah | 04:00 |
| pvl1 | matelot, if u have compiz, no | 04:00 |
| speckal | pvl1: no. it looked fine to me | 04:00 |
| matelot | no not enabled | 04:00 |
| starn | Shujah: ok.. sec downloadings now.. i'll report back when done | 04:01 |
| nhaines | Bodsda: It doesnt really do much good to throw Ubottu tips at people randomly unless you know it will solve their problem. | 04:01 |
| pvl1 | matelot, then use devilspie | 04:01 |
| krsnadasa | Bodsda: i read the readme and i followed all the directions so what else to do ? | 04:01 |
| nhaines | speckal: Current version of Ubuntu is 8.04.1 | 04:01 |
| Bodsda | speckal, can u pastebin menu.lst and device.map please | 04:01 |
| Bodsda | nhaines, i know it is helpful, whats your point? | 04:01 |
| matelot | pvl1 Hardy/Gnome doesn't give that optioneh ? | 04:01 |
| Bodsda | krsnadasa, ./compile make sudo make install is the correct compiling procedure i believe | 04:02 |
| pvl1 | matelot, in synaptic | 04:02 |
| matelot | pvl1 I know | 04:02 |
| krsnadasa | Bodsda: which i did follow | 04:02 |
| nhaines | Bodsda: It's not helpful. She just told you how she compiled it. If you can't help her, please don't give her useless information. | 04:02 |
| matelot | Just want to make sure devilspie is still required to do that | 04:02 |
| pvl1 | matelot, u cant find devilspie in there? | 04:02 |
| Bodsda | nhaines, if you cant be helpfull, stop talking | 04:02 |
| nhaines | krsnadasa: It sounds like you followed the correct steps (generically). Have you installed the kernel headers. | 04:02 |
| speckal | Bodsda: I don't know how if the machine isn't booting. I can tell you that menu.lst is whatever ubuntu set it up for (2 HDs, raid-1 on a '/' part and on a swap part) completely unedited by me, and device.map is (hd0) /dev/sda2 (hd1) /dev/sdb2 | 04:02 |
| matelot | yes in synaptic | 04:02 |
| matelot | pvl1 yes in synap | 04:02 |
| nhaines | Bodsda: please try to be a little more constructive in channel. | 04:02 |
| starn | Shujah: wow sound.. and loud.. anyways um this well this help with any other sound issues i had? or is it every thing i tried useing has flashed? | 04:02 |
| * Derander hates stupid postfix | 04:03 | |
| Bodsda | krsnadasa, you just said you did make clean, make, make install, modprobe iwl4965 | 04:03 |
| krsnadasa | nhaines: yes and yes i read the README in the driver sorce | 04:03 |
| krsnadasa | Bodsda: yea why ? | 04:03 |
| fent | is there a way to set up remote desktop to start as a service? | 04:03 |
| Bodsda | krsnadasa, can you pastebin the README please | 04:03 |
| pvl1 | matelot, i think ur problem iare the repos | 04:04 |
| krsnadasa | Bodsda: sure one sec | 04:04 |
| alraune | fent: put in rc.local | 04:04 |
| Fezzler | can some help me fix my resolution? it is too low 800x600? Nvidia GeForce FX 5500 w/ 256m | 04:04 |
| Bodsda | nhaines, im being constructive, a little scrolling reveals im being more constructive then yourself, so get off my case | 04:04 |
| matelot | pvl1 I have no problem man | 04:04 |
| banisterfiend | how do i open up another desktop in gnome? | 04:04 |
| speckal | Bodsda, pvl1: would the flashing cursor behavior be caused by no partition being marked active? | 04:04 |
| Kefga_X_ | Does anyone know how to fix brightness control issues? | 04:04 |
| speckal | maybe I should check that | 04:04 |
| Shujah | starn, there is a bug where two apps can't use sound at the same time, it wont help there, though most problems are with pulseaudio you can always switch to alsa and check | 04:04 |
| matelot | pvl1 - devilspie IS in synaptic | 04:04 |
| tech0007 | Fezzler: did u check the logs if ur using restricted driver? | 04:04 |
| pvl1 | speckal, is there a partition flagged as boot | 04:04 |
| krsnadasa | Bodsda: http://paste.ubuntu.com/26994/ | 04:04 |
| pvl1 | matelot, ooo so whats wrong? | 04:04 |
| nhaines | Flannel: Bodsda: ignoring the steps that people have taken to resolve an issue on their own and giving them pointers to instructions that no longer apply is not helpful. | 04:04 |
| speckal | pvl1: that's what I mean. let me check that | 04:05 |
| nhaines | Bodsda: ignoring the steps that people have taken to resolve an issue on their own and giving them pointers to instructions that no longer apply is not helpful. | 04:05 |
| krsnadasa | nhaines: http://paste.ubuntu.com/26994/ is the readme | 04:05 |
| nhaines | krsnadasa: Thank you. I'll take a look at it now. | 04:05 |
| Fezzler | tech0007: How do I do that? I'm a newbie. | 04:05 |
| Fezzler | tech0007: Is that a Terminal commands? | 04:05 |
| matelot | krsnadasa, my question is : is devilspie STILL required in Hardy to set def. workspace | 04:05 |
| Bodsda | nhaines, nice try, we can take this to #ubuntu-ops if you wont? | 04:05 |
| tech0007 | Fezzler: system->administration->systemlogs...Xorg.0.log | 04:05 |
| matelot | krsnadasa:...the most current gnome.... | 04:06 |
| starn | Shujah: well um currently i am runing programs all with sound.. but i had to use pulseaduio.. and use command padsp but anyways thank you for the help this place is nothing like tech support for windows.. never get the info i need. | 04:06 |
| nephlim | does anyone know of an app i can use to boot and check the drive for errors and fix them? | 04:06 |
| nhaines | Bodsda: If you think it is necessary, then I am happy to discuss it there. | 04:06 |
| krsnadasa | matelot: come again ? | 04:06 |
| pvl1 | matelot, yes most likely | 04:06 |
| fent | i'm not sure what to paste into rc.local | 04:06 |
| Bodsda | krsnadasa, can you remove any of the bad files so we can try again from scratch | 04:06 |
| fent | i was using the remote desktop setup off of the system menu | 04:06 |
| Bodsda | nhaines, im not the one with the problem | 04:06 |
| pteeb | XGL and Compiz are two different packages with two different sets of desktop effects right? | 04:07 |
| alraune | nephlim : e2fsck | 04:07 |
| matelot | krsnadasa - My question is: Is devilspie STILL NEEDED in the latest Hardy/Gnome to set default workspace | 04:07 |
| Fezzler | tech0007: I don't think so. | 04:07 |
| matelot | pvl1 - thanks | 04:07 |
| Shujah | starn, volunteers VS paid techs dude :P what are the other sound problems anyway? | 04:07 |
| krsnadasa | Bodsda: i did a make uninstall too but no good | 04:07 |
| pvl1 | pteeb, nope compiz depends on xgl | 04:07 |
| nephlim | thanks alraune | 04:07 |
| pteeb | and beryl is now included in compiz right? | 04:07 |
| nhaines | Bodsda: I will meet you in that channel. | 04:07 |
| Bodsda | krsnadasa, ok, just make sure theres no left over files floating about, also, if its only a small driver, try redownloading it, then let me know when your ready | 04:08 |
| tech0007 | Fezzler: open terminal then run this 'cat /var/log/Xorg.0.log | grep nvidia' | 04:08 |
| Fezzler | tech0007: System>Admin>Hardware Drivers shows Nvidia not enabled. Enable it? | 04:08 |
| Bodsda | nhaines, ok | 04:08 |
| alraune | fent: in rc.local you can put programms to be started automatically at bootup | 04:08 |
| tech0007 | Fezzler: yes | 04:08 |
| nephlim | alraune, would that be on a standard resuce/boot cd? | 04:08 |
| pvl1 | pteeb, compiz, is now compiz fusion which is beryl and compiz | 04:08 |
| krsnadasa | matelot: i don't use that tool but according to google and pkge info, yes | 04:08 |
| fent | yeah i'm not sure what the program is since it was a gui setup | 04:08 |
| matelot | krsnadasa - thanks | 04:08 |
| superlinux | HI ALL | 04:08 |
| krsnadasa | Bodsda: i have the tgz with me and tried that ;) | 04:09 |
| krsnadasa | matelot: no problem | 04:09 |
| Bodsda | krsnadasa, what kernel are you using? | 04:09 |
| ganymede | hello, on ubuntu, mplayer changes resolution when i fullscreen and i can cycle screen resolutions, but on other distros, fullscreening mplayer just fullscreens at whatever the current resolution is. how do i ask mplayer to not change the resolution on fullscreen? | 04:09 |
| pvl1 | hello superlinux | 04:09 |
| s3a | im trying to learn python and this pdf book tells me to put the source of the app in the PATH environment, were is that? | 04:09 |
| alraune | nephlim : you can use the live cd, but also can boot to console and run then, see man e2fsck | 04:09 |
| Fezzler | tech0007: BRB - need to restart system. okay? | 04:09 |
| Derander | echo ${PATH} | 04:09 |
| tech0007 | Fezzler: yes | 04:09 |
| krsnadasa | 2.6.26-3 | 04:09 |
| krsnadasa | generic* | 04:10 |
| superlinux | TO ALL ARABS WHO WANT TO LEARN DEBIAN FROM AN ARAB VOICE: SERACH FOR " superlinux " in videos.google.com | 04:10 |
| Bodsda | s3a, in a terminal type echo $PATH | 04:10 |
| superlinux | pvl1: hi | 04:10 |
| Derander | export PATH=new/stuff:${PATH} | 04:10 |
| fent | alraune: is there a way to find out what program the remote desktop setup from the system menu runs? | 04:10 |
| Bodsda | krsnadasa, thats what it says if you type uname -a into a terminal? | 04:10 |
| krsnadasa | nhaines: any ideas ? | 04:10 |
| krsnadasa | Bodsda: yes | 04:11 |
| alraune | fent: how do you start manually ? | 04:11 |
| xocite | Derander: normally you want the $PATH first and the new path last | 04:11 |
| === ^ADIT^ is now known as indra_faresia | ||
| Derander | xocite: That works too. | 04:11 |
| fent | alraune: It starts when i login | 04:11 |
| nhaines | krsnadasa: as long as you have the right headers, it should proceed normally. | 04:12 |
| s3a | Bodsda: do i have to replace PATH with an actual path or i just type that? | 04:12 |
| alraune | fent: ?? diddnt you say that is what you wanted ? | 04:12 |
| Bodsda | krsnadasa, the only thing i can think of is trying with the *.*.22 kernel | 04:12 |
| krsnadasa | nhaines: yea i don't know what the problem is :( | 04:12 |
| Bodsda | s3a, just type that | 04:12 |
| krsnadasa | Bodsda: even though i am on a higher kernel ? | 04:12 |
| === nt is now known as NT | ||
| fent | alraune: no i want it to start when the pc starts so i can remote in without having to physically be at the box after a reboot | 04:13 |
| Bodsda | krsnadasa, yes, im not really certain, but if it works with an older kernel then you have isolated the problem | 04:13 |
| s3a | Bodsda: the book tells me that and it works but it's the commands after that that dont work for me | 04:13 |
| krsnadasa | Bodsda: how do i make it compile for the older headers? | 04:13 |
| s3a | Bodsda: http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=857047&page=2 | 04:13 |
| Bodsda | krsnadasa, you need to install an older kernel and then boot from that kernel at the grub loader | 04:13 |
| alraune | fent: can u find it under programms ? | 04:14 |
| krsnadasa | Bodsda: *shiver* i should just try to upgrade kernel and if that don't work then i will try an older kernel ;) | 04:14 |
| pvl1 | speckal, is it flagged? | 04:14 |
| krsnadasa | Bodsda: thanks for you help anyway | 04:14 |
| Bodsda | krsnadasa, your welcome | 04:15 |
| fent | alraune: no its not listed in the applications menu. It is built into the the system menu under preferences. | 04:15 |
| alraune | what happens if u type remotedesk in terminal ? | 04:16 |
| darthanubis | how do I kill an "uninterruptable" process without rebooting or killing the desktop? | 04:17 |
| darthanubis | totem is locked, and eating resource | 04:17 |
| pvl1 | darthanubis, sudo killall <process> | 04:17 |
| darthanubis | is totem good for anything? | 04:17 |
| alraune | darthanubis: killall i.e. firefox | 04:17 |
| darthanubis | pv1 I tried the obvious | 04:18 |
| pvl1 | darthanubis, playing videos and songs i guess | 04:18 |
| darthanubis | the normal methods have not worked | 04:18 |
| Pithecanthropus | hello all | 04:18 |
| darthanubis | hence my asking | 04:18 |
| darthanubis | I'm not a noob | 04:18 |
| pvl1 | darthanubis, sorry idk, look into htop is all i can recommened, its like a task manager | 04:19 |
| darthanubis | done that | 04:19 |
| ubunub1 | what can I do to change the load order of the services under the splash screen on bootup? | 04:19 |
| alraune | fent: what happens if u type remotedesk in terminal ? | 04:19 |
| pvl1 | darthanubis, o well then idk | 04:19 |
| Pithecanthropus | I was wondering if any of you guys could help me out with something | 04:19 |
| darthanubis | thx for your honesty | 04:19 |
| tech0007 | !ask | Pithecanthropus | 04:19 |
| ubottu | Pithecanthropus: Please don't ask to ask a question, ask the question (all on ONE line, so others can read and follow it easily). If anyone knows the answer they will most likely answer. :-) | 04:19 |
| fent | ok one sec | 04:19 |
| pvl1 | ubunub1, system-pref- sessions | 04:20 |
| Pithecanthropus | ok | 04:20 |
| fent | alraune: command not found | 04:20 |
| simtower | hi, i have a machine here which has obviously not crashed, but will not respond to most keyboard/mouse input including control-alt-backspace or control-alt-f1 f2 etc. anything else I can try? | 04:20 |
| ubunub1 | pvl1: that only changes stuff launched in gnome. i need to change the services order during boot | 04:20 |
| === pteague_work is now known as pteague_laptop | ||
| pvl1 | ubunub1, then in the current session tab change the numbers | 04:20 |
| pvl1 | ubunub1, oh, no idea | 04:21 |
| tech0007 | simtower: alt-sysrq RESIUB | 04:21 |
| Fezzler | tech0007: Nvidia enabled. Still res. 800x600. Ubuntu keeps asking for restart | 04:21 |
| pteeb | i want more fancy effects, i have compiz-fusion 0.7.4 installed. any other packages? | 04:21 |
| tech0007 | Fezzler: try system->preferences->screen resolution | 04:21 |
| Pithecanthropus | I'm about to install Ubuntu (Ubuntu Studio, actually) on an AMD Athlon 64 4000+ Socket 949 pc, with 1gb ddr 400 (2.5 cas latency), 160gb sata2 drive, on a chaintech vnf4 ultra mobo and a gigabyte geforce 6600GT 128mb ddr3 video board: what should I install, i386 or amd64? | 04:21 |
| pvl1 | pteeb, get the compiz settings manager, there are a lot more effects in compiz then u think | 04:22 |
| nhaines | pteeb: compiz-fusion-manager | 04:22 |
| Pithecanthropus | (i have both versions copied to cd/dvd, for both ubuntu and ubustu) | 04:22 |
| Fezzler | tech0007: 800x600 or 600x480 only choices | 04:22 |
| simtower | tech0007:i pushed alt and the PrtSc/SysRq button but nothing happened, is that what you meant? (fwiw its worth i can get it to go to sleep with Fn+F4) | 04:22 |
| pvl1 | Pithecanthropus, amd64 | 04:22 |
| Shujah | Fezzler, first restart | 04:22 |
| nhaines | Pithecanthropus: I always reccomend 32-bit unless there's some good reason to use 64-bit. | 04:22 |
| pvl1 | nhaines, a athalon 64 processor should be a reason | 04:23 |
| nhaines | Pithecanthropus: good reasons include: scientific software, intense mathematical processing, more than 4GB RAM on the system, like to play with 64bit stuff... | 04:23 |
| Pithecanthropus | pvl1 - really? just flat out like that, amd64? no incompatibility problems or anything with website viewing (flash video playback, for example)? | 04:23 |
| alraune | fent: I have no experience with remote_desk applet; I would install VNC on both machines, which can be staretd via command line or rc.local | 04:23 |
| tech0007 | simtower: you press alt-sysrq + letter (R E S I U B) in that sequence w/ brief pause in between...the last (B) will reboot ur machine | 04:24 |
| Pithecanthropus | I currently have 1gb on it, probably max it out at 2 or 4 tops in the future. It currently runs winXP. | 04:24 |
| Fezzler | tech0007: okay, restarted complete | 04:24 |
| simtower | tech0007: is that a safe reboot or just a reset? | 04:24 |
| smallfoot- | R E S I U B = Raising Elephants ???? Is Utterly Boring | 04:24 |
| pvl1 | Pithecanthropus, amd 64 is a 64 bit architecture hence the name | 04:24 |
| Shujah | Pithecanthropus, make swap of 2 gb when you do install ubunstu | 04:24 |
| Fezzler | tech0007: Nope. asking for restart again | 04:24 |
| tech0007 | simtower: safe reboot | 04:24 |
| Animemachine13 | Erm | 04:25 |
| fent | ok | 04:25 |
| fent | thanks | 04:25 |
| Pithecanthropus | do I set the swap from the installer itself, or after installation, á la windows? | 04:25 |
| tech0007 | Fezzler: better follow this guide https://help.ubuntu.com/community/BinaryDriverHowto/Nvidia | 04:25 |
| Fezzler | tech0007: the two rounded blue arrows at upper right | 04:25 |

| nadu | hi guys i just installed 8.04 and i need to install java...which pakcage to i select | 04:25 |
| Animemachine13 | I'm looking to format one of my NTFS drives to a EXT3 format, can anyone help? | 04:25 |
| pvl1 | Pithecanthropus, unless im totally wrong. do some research to be sure | 04:25 |
| Pithecanthropus | will amd64 version be faster or any better than i386? | 04:25 |
| pvl1 | Pithecanthropus, how much ram u got? | 04:25 |
| nadu | there are so many...java1,java2,java 5,6 | 04:25 |
| Shujah | Fezzler, when you go to menu > system > admin > hardware drivers is the nvidia card selected? | 04:25 |
| Pithecanthropus | 1gb | 04:25 |
| alraune | Animemachine13 : yes | 04:26 |
| tech0007 | Pithecanthropus: i'd go for x86 if i were you | 04:26 |
| nadu | which java package do i install for ubuntu if i just want to view java on the web and such | 04:26 |
| Pithecanthropus | my only experiences with 64bit OS's are vista 64 on an 8gb ram system and mac os x... on whatever. | 04:26 |
| nadu | ?? | 04:26 |
| Shujah | nadu, jdk is reinstalled, and it works most of the time - for bank transactions its better to get sun java | 04:26 |
| pvl1 | tech0007, theyre synonymous | 04:26 |
| simtower | thanks again tech0007, i didn't know about this alt+sysrq trick | 04:27 |
| tech0007 | pvl1: what? | 04:27 |
| Shujah | *preinstalled * | 04:27 |
| CaptainMorgan | !cups | 04:27 |

| nadu | Shujah: do i get sunjava-j2sdk1.5? | 04:27 |
| nhaines | Pithecanthropus: 64bit can be slightly slower in some cases, but most people don't really see much of a difference. | 04:27 |
| tech0007 | simtower: np | 04:27 |
| VvWolverinevV | hi, can anyone tell me why there are three commas next to my name every time ubuntu asks for an admin password? | 04:27 |
| Shujah | nadu, from terminal > sudo apt-get install --reinstall -y sun-java6-jre sun-java6-plugin | 04:28 |
| Pithecanthropus | ok.. so with 1 or 2gb ram, the amd64 version isn't really going to aid in getting the "most" out of my system then, right? | 04:28 |
| nadu | ty | 04:28 |
| pvl1 | tech0007, o nvm now im confused | 04:28 |
| tech0007 | Pithecanthropus: yup | 04:29 |
| nadu | Shujah: if you dont mind me asking...what does the '-y' option do and what does jre stand for | 04:29 |
| bliZZardz | got Hardy installed - and it simply rocks :) | 04:29 |
| pvl1 | tech0007, although i do agree with u | 04:29 |
| nadu | bliZZardz: is hardy 8.04? | 04:29 |
| bliZZardz | nadu L yea | 04:30 |
| bliZZardz | Nadu : yes | 04:30 |
| Shaba1 | I think so nadu | 04:30 |
| nadu | bliZZardz: ya thats what i just installed | 04:30 |
| Pithecanthropus | is amd64 more secure or stable? or are x86 an x64 the same? | 04:30 |
| pvl1 | Pithecanthropus, take that back go with what tech0007 said, but if u have a lot of ram, more than a gig u should really need a lot of swap at all | 04:30 |
| Shaba1 | Either that or "Hoary" | 04:30 |
| nadu | bliZZardz: its way b etter than 7.04 was | 04:30 |
| bliZZardz | nadu : i had to upgrade from feisty and tonnes of probs. | 04:30 |
| bliZZardz | nadu : didnt go via gutsy - just removed feisty | 04:30 |
| Shujah | jre - java runtime environment I guess | 04:30 |
| nadu | bliZZardz: nice...ya i just put in my hard drive and it said the last time i logged into 7.04 was 270 days ago | 04:30 |
| bliZZardz | nahu : how did you do it?? update via the net? | 04:30 |
| nhaines | Pithecanthropus: Probably not. :) x64 can do larger math at once, but of course it means that programs use more memory and can sometimes take longer. | 04:30 |
| nadu | bliZZardz: ya i did the same i formatted and got a new cd | 04:31 |
| bliZZardz | nadu: cool | 04:31 |
| tech0007 | Pithecanthropus: security doesnt depend on arch x86 or 64bit,,,its more than that | 04:31 |
| nadu | bliZZardz: i am loving it...what irc client are you using? | 04:31 |
| pteeb | xchat fo lyfe | 04:31 |
| bliZZardz | nadu: pidgin | 04:31 |
| nhaines | haha, irssi here! | 04:31 |
| nadu | bliZZardz: oh i didnt know pidgin can do irc | 04:31 |
| nadu | konversation here | 04:31 |
| nadu | lol | 04:31 |
| nadu | i like the mirc feel | 04:31 |
| Pithecanthropus | pvl1 and tech0007: swap file and ram - how and when do I set that up? Is this swap file a similar asset as it is in Windows? | 04:31 |
| bliZZardz | nadu : create an account and thats it | 04:31 |
| nhaines | nadu: pidgin makes me dizzy in this channel but it can be nice for quieter channels. :) | 04:31 |
| xantres | td123: uhh, I think I messed up, is there a way to reset the displayconfig-gtk? | 04:32 |
| tech0007 | Pithecanthropus: set swap to 1.5X of ram or max of 2Gb | 04:32 |
| Commie_Jebus | konversation is ok I just wish there was gonversation ;) | 04:32 |
| bliZZardz | nhaines : wats the prob with pidgin? | 04:32 |
| nadu | ah ic | 04:32 |
| nadu | Commie_Jebus: lol ya | 04:32 |
| tech0007 | Pithecanthropus: its page file in windows (i think) | 04:32 |
| pvl1 | Pithecanthropus, swap is usefull if u have low ram, its like the pagefile in XP. if i were you id just do it all at once, the installed has its own partitioner, but if ur dualbooting u might need to do it by hand | 04:32 |
| bliZZardz | how do i increase the screen brightness? | 04:33 |
| nhaines | bliZZardz: nothing at all! I just prefer more conventional interfaces for IRC, especially for busy channels. But I don't mind it a bit for quieter ones. | 04:33 |
| naudiz | ubuntu sucks slackware, FreeBSD and NetBSD are the anti-buntu -- ubuntu is an ancient African phrase meaning "I can't configure slackware" | 04:33 |
| xantres | is td123 here? | 04:33 |
| Commie_Jebus | how do I use a movie as my wallpaper | 04:33 |
| Pithecanthropus | tech0007: and if I were to up my ram in the future to 2gb or 4gb, should I increase it as well? is 1gb of ram low for ubuntu? - I thought it would be allright. | 04:33 |
| pvl1 | tech0007, quote from wikipedia: Despite being natively 64-bit, the AMD64 architecture is backward-compatible with 32-bit x86 instructions. -- does that mean it can do both? | 04:33 |
| nadu | hey guys how come i cant get unipeak.com to work in 8.04 | 04:34 |
| nhaines | I remember trying to install Slackware from a boot floppy and a root floppy back in 1995. Good times. :) | 04:34 |
| Commie_Jebus | X64 isnt worth it... | 04:34 |
| xantres | Does anyone know how to reset the displayconfig-gtk? | 04:34 |
| Pithecanthropus | pvl1: for the moment I am dualbooting this box... but as soon as I fall in love with linux and not my expectations of it (which I know I will), I'm killing windows in this pc. | 04:34 |
| tech0007 | Pithecanthropus: u jst waste your harddisk space if u've got more than 2GB of swap | 04:34 |
| Shujah | xantres, whats the problem? | 04:34 |
| Commie_Jebus | tech0007: I like 3g\ | 04:35 |
| Pithecanthropus | pvl1: amd64 can run 32bit apps. For example, winxp is 32bit, and that's currently the OS I'm using. | 04:35 |
| tech0007 | pvl1: not really sure | 04:35 |
| pvl1 | Pithecanthropus, well dont jump to conclusions, there may be a need, just shorten the partition | 04:35 |
| trakinas | has anyone here used jabbin? i get handshake error | 04:35 |
| tech0007 | Pithecanthropus: right | 04:35 |
| Pithecanthropus | pvl1: by amd64 I mean my processor, not the ubuntu versions. | 04:35 |
| pvl1 | Pithecanthropus, figured look at this: http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=856485 | 04:36 |
| Commie_Jebus | Pithecanthropus: why are you on windows? | 04:36 |
| pvl1 | Pithecanthropus, i know | 04:36 |
| rand0m | anyone know how to get google earth working ? (plz dont just google my question and copy paste the answer because i followed instructions in the first five links and failed ) | 04:36 |
| bliZZardz | i had compiz on feisty which had some good effects - like cube etc while shuffling across workspaces - how do i enable it in Hardy? | 04:36 |
| pvl1 | bliZZardz, it should be the same way | 04:36 |
| xantres | Shujah: well I was trying to configure my 2 Samsung 2253bw widescreen monitors to join together, but I it kept messing up, now it won't do anything now. | 04:36 |
| bliZZardz | pvl1 : but it aint - am getting the effects only for dragging windows | 04:37 |
| s3a | pvl1: if ur talking about processor, ya the amds can run 32 bit perfectly | 04:37 |
| krsnadasa | Bodsda: guess what... i found another error but this time half way through compiling the kernel so i think i might just be missing a library... | 04:37 |
| Shujah | xantres, so you are in terminal at the moment? | 04:37 |
| Pithecanthropus | Commie_Jebus: because this is going to be my first succesful (or so I hope) linux install ever... I've always used windows, and vista64 on another pc I use as a workstation | 04:37 |
| xantres | Shujah: I am stuck with only 1 monitor working at 800x600 | 04:37 |
| pvl1 | bliZZardz, getting the compiz settings manager (it might be named differently) | 04:37 |
| xantres | Shujah: I have it open now, ys | 04:37 |
| Bodsda | krsnadasa, does it give you a single dependency? | 04:37 |
| Pithecanthropus | Commie_Jebus: This is going to be my personal learning/hobbie pc. | 04:37 |
| tech0007 | !dualboot > Pithecanthropus | 04:37 |
| ubottu | Pithecanthropus, please see my private message | 04:37 |
| Commie_Jebus | Pithecanthropus: just use a live cd :) | 04:37 |
| krsnadasa | Bodsda: no | 04:38 |
| trakinas | !jabbin | 04:38 |
| ubottu | Sorry, I don't know anything about jabbin | 04:38 |
| Shujah | xantres you have nvidia? | 04:38 |
| trakinas | !gtalk | 04:38 |
| ubottu | gtalk is an instant messaging program from Google. Currently, Google does not have an official standalone gtalk client for Linux (though you can chat via your browser in gmail) but supports connections from third party clients such as Pidgin. See: http://www.google.com/talk/otherclients.html | 04:38 |
| pvl1 | s3a, yea i got that but then are 64bit processors supposed to use the 64 bit arch? | 04:38 |
| Pithecanthropus | Commie_Jebus: Ubuntu Studio only comes in alternate installs. | 04:38 |
| Bodsda | krsnadasa, pastebin the error, lets see if its helpfull | 04:38 |
| xantres | Shujah: I have ATI | 04:38 |
| s3a | pvl1: no performance is lost using 32 bit but when using amd, alot is gained with 64 bit (i think 30% processing speed increase) | 04:38 |
| bliZZardz | how do i increase screen brightness? | 04:38 |
| nhaines | Pithecanthropus: you know, you can always use the Desktop CD to install Ubuntu without partitioning. It's not exactly as fast but maybe you could try 32-bit and 64-bit Ubuntu that way before you go and repartition. | 04:38 |
| krsnadasa | Bodsda: http://paste.ubuntu.com/26998/ | 04:39 |
| s3a | pvl1: my statistics are not exact | 04:39 |
| Shujah | xantres, so have you checked if in hardware drivers ati is selected? | 04:39 |
| krsnadasa | Bodsda: don't u love errors that don't help LOL | 04:39 |
| evilkry | possible to ssh from osx terminal into ubuntu and run X? | 04:39 |
| pvl1 | s3a, well i understandthat apps that take advantage of the arch are supposed to like run much better, specially for like movie/image editing and such | 04:39 |
| s3a | pvl1: so wats ur problem/question exactly? | 04:40 |
| bliZZardz | Pithecanthropus: just installed hardy from the cd - removed all partitions and installed it - it is a charm | 04:40 |
| Bodsda | krsnadasa, actually the error is quite helpfull, it tells us that its not your fault, the programmers have made a mistake, im not a c programmer and dont know how to fix files like that im afraid, id suggest trying to get the driver from somewhere else | 04:40 |
| rand0m | how do I install google earth in ubuntu ? | 04:40 |
| Pithecanthropus | hmm | 04:40 |
| xantres | Shujah: well when I go into ATI drivers, I choose radeon, but there are 4 selections, fgdev, fglrx, vesa, and plain radeon | 04:40 |
| Pithecanthropus | tech0007: I can only dual-boot if both ubuntu and winxp are on drive C? | 04:40 |
| pvl1 | s3a, not a problem, im just trying to understand which like verusion of ubuntu should be installed on an amd 64, my computer is fine | 04:40 |
| krsnadasa | Bodsda: that was the kernel error ( i was compiling the kernel) ;) | 04:40 |
| Pithecanthropus | tech0007: thanks for the link. I was planning on installing ubuntu on another drive, drive D: | 04:41 |
| s3a | pvl1: how much ram do u have? | 04:41 |
| Bodsda | krsnadasa, hhmm, not sure then, theres definately errors | 04:41 |
| xantres | Shujah: sorry, fbdev, not fgdev | 04:41 |
| krsnadasa | lol | 04:41 |
| Shujah | xantres, try fglrx | 04:41 |
| pvl1 | s3a, well its not meits about Pithecanthropus. i think he or she has 1 gig | 04:41 |
| Pithecanthropus | tech0007: drive d: is a 100gb partition of full free space I had set out for ubuntu. Drive C only contains my xp system. | 04:41 |
| pvl1 | *its about | 04:41 |
| xantres | shujah: okay, open source or proprietary? | 04:41 |
| nhaines | Pithecanthropus: you can install Ubuntu on different physical drives and still dual-boot. | 04:42 |
| krsnadasa | Bodsda: i am sure i am missing some kind of package for building source.. but what ? | 04:42 |
| pvl1 | Pithecanthropus, if u already partition then just leave it. and install ubuntu on that partition, it should do the swap for u but u can later change it as u wish | 04:42 |
| Bodsda | krsnadasa, youve installed build-essential and gcc+? | 04:42 |
| s3a | pvl1: with min 1 gb, u should go for 64 bit with a 1.5 gb swap but emulating 32 bit xp or vista will be kinda slow | 04:42 |
| pvl1 | Pithecanthropus, hence linux is awesome, u can change everything | 04:42 |
| krsnadasa | Bodsda: yea | 04:42 |
| rand0m | plz to install google earth ? | 04:42 |
| joshman09 | anybody know the channel for vmware? | 04:43 |
| nhaines | Pithecanthropus: my advice is to delete your D: partition and just leave it blank. Ubuntu will configure and partition the blank space for you. | 04:43 |
| Pici | !googleearth | rand0m | 04:43 |
| ubottu | rand0m: Google Earth is now available, for free (only as in price), for Linux, too. To download it see http://earth.google.com/download-earth.html - A package for Ubuntu is available in the !Medibuntu repository | 04:43 |
| tung | rand0m: http://earth.google.com/download-earth.html | 04:43 |
| nck | my wifi led blinking after installing the lastest ndiswrapper , is that normal sign? | 04:43 |
| s3a | pvl1: i use 64 bit and i love seeing things pop faster than 32 bit and im using intel! amd has greater 64 benefits | 04:43 |
| Bodsda | krsnadasa, not sure im afraid, sorry | 04:43 |
| rand0m | Pici, tung.. thanks, i found that.. what do I do with the .bin though ? | 04:43 |
| Shujah | xantres, proprietary | 04:43 |
| krsnadasa | Bodsda: no problem and thanks | 04:43 |
| Pithecanthropus | s3a: how much ram do you have? | 04:43 |
| Bodsda | krsnadasa, your welcome | 04:44 |
| Shujah | xantres, did you update from 7.10? | 04:44 |
| Candol | I need help with the advanced Desktop manager can someone help me? | 04:44 |
| s3a | Pithecanthropus: exactly 1 gb | 04:44 |
| pvl1 | s3a, now im confused. ok i have a intel duo quad, my ubuntu was set up using the x86 architecture. Pithecanthropus has an amd 64, should he install the 64 bit? | 04:44 |
| pvl1 | Candol, whats up? | 04:44 |
| tung | rand0m:http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=295673 | 04:44 |
| nhaines | pvl1: it is completely a matter of choice, and either will work well. | 04:45 |
| Pithecanthropus | s3a and all: I run vista64 on an Intel c2q processor and, although I know it is leaps ahead of this athlon, I cant help but feel the x64 system so much faster, more stable, and more capable than any other 32bit experience I've had. | 04:45 |
| tung | rand0m: hope this help | 04:45 |
| pvl1 | nhaines, for a 64 bit, right? but what about for a intel quad, which is more effecient or better? | 04:45 |
| Pithecanthropus | s3a and all: that was why I was doubting the x64 or x86 install on this pc.. but this pc is very much slower than my vista64 bit pc.. so... | 04:45 |
| Candol | I can not see my desktop icons after enabling the multiple backgrounds. | 04:46 |
| s3a | Pithecanthropus: wait i dont get how its slower? ubuntu should be faster than vista | 04:46 |
| Pithecanthropus | pvl1: intel c2q is a 64bit processor as well. | 04:46 |
| s3a | pvl1: a 64 bit cpu with min 1 gb should use 64 bit in my opinion | 04:46 |
| nhaines | pvl1: It was my understanding that Intel's 64-bit processors were not as efficient but as I stick with AMD processors lately I couldn't really say. | 04:46 |
| pvl1 | Pithecanthropus, c2q? | 04:46 |
| Commie_Jebus | Pithecanthropus: what the hell is c2q? | 04:46 |
| Pici | Commie_Jebus: Core 2 quad | 04:47 |
| pvl1 | s3a, well is an amd64 a 64 bit arch? | 04:47 |
| Pithecanthropus | s3a: other box is a vista64 install on 1tb hdd, c2q and 8gb ram | 04:47 |
| rand0m | tung, thank you | 04:47 |
| s3a | nhaines: they are not as efficient however, in the end intel wins barely bcuz of its actual faster speed | 04:47 |
| bliZZardz | the windows are getting greyed out after having installed Hardy(esp firefox) -- bug with firefox3 - beta? | 04:47 |
| nhaines | s3a: that may be. :) | 04:47 |
| Pithecanthropus | s3a: this box is single core athlon 64 4000+ 1gb ram | 04:47 |
| s3a | Pithecanthropus: i have a 3 ghz intel single core pentium 4 with 1 gb ram which is weaker than ur comp and it flies | 04:47 |
| Pithecanthropus | pvl1: c2q = core 2 quad | 04:48 |
| tech0007 | Pithecanthropus: u can do either i386 or amd64 | 04:48 |
| nhaines | bliZZardz: make sure you upgrade your kernel and Firefox! But the kernel should be the most help. Download the Ubuntu 8.04.1 ISOs for future installs, which will solve this problem as well. | 04:48 |
| pvl1 | Pithecanthropus, yea i read that. thanks tho | 04:48 |
| s3a | Pithecanthropus: do 64 bit | 04:48 |
| s3a | Pithecanthropus: u can also use live cd to test if u dont believe me | 04:48 |
| pvl1 | s3a, so i have a c2q, do u recommend i change? | 04:48 |
| Candol | pvl1, I can not view my desktop icons after enabling the cube and multiple desktop icons | 04:48 |
| === tim is now known as PiercedDad | ||
| Commie_Jebus | I have a 64 but i use 32... | 04:49 |
| pvl1 | Candol, multiple desktop icons? | 04:49 |
| Pithecanthropus | pvl1: If I were to install ubuntu studio on my c2q with 8gb ram, I would go 64 bit, as I did with the vista install. | 04:49 |
| s3a | pvl1: ofcourse, i have a weak ass comp compared to u ppl and like i said 64 bit makes my comp even faster however note that it uses more ram therefore prepare to have some swap | 04:49 |
| xantres | shujah: okay, now I have the two displays working, but my main(left) when I move my mouse around the screen has to scroll vertically and horizontally | 04:50 |
| Pithecanthropus | s3a: so I should get more ram for a faster 64 bit ubuntu on this pc then. | 04:50 |
| s3a | pvl1: with 1 gb there shouldnt be much access on swap, so u should usually have a faster system | 04:50 |
| pvl1 | s3a, Pithecanthropus i have 3 gigs ram, that enof? | 04:50 |
| bliZZardz | 230 updates!! how much time would it take approx? | 04:50 |
| s3a | pvl1: defenitely | 04:50 |
| xantres | Shujah: to view the whole screen | 04:50 |
| nhaines | bliZZardz: you can upgrade just the kernel for a big boost. | 04:50 |
| pvl1 | s3a, so u think i should switch to the 64 bit? | 04:50 |
| magic_ninja | how do i show the active users on my box | 04:50 |
| s3a | Pithecanthropus: nono, i just mean if u happen to reach ur limit, ull be on swap but 1 gb is enuf to not be super swap dependent, in the end ur comp is faster | 04:50 |
| bliZZardz | nhaines: as in?how do i do it? | 04:50 |
| Candol | pvl1, I started using the cube. I went into gconf-editor and unchecked the "show desktop" to enable multiple background images for each desktop. Now I do not have any of my shortcuts on the desktop. | 04:51 |
| Pithecanthropus | all: lol, I feel I've touched an undecided topic with my doubts. | 04:51 |
| nhaines | bliZZardz: If you already have Ubuntu installed, simply use the Update Manager to download and install the updates. | 04:51 |
| krsnadasa | any one know what this error means ? http://paste.ubuntu.com/26998/ | 04:51 |
| Candol | pvl1, and I can not add any shortcuts. | 04:51 |
| tech0007 | Pithecanthropus: http://www.phoronix.com/scan.php?page=article&item=616&num=1 | 04:51 |
| bliZZardz | nhaines : update manager shows 230 updates - hence am asking | 04:51 |
| tech0007 | Pithecanthropus: its old but it still applies | 04:52 |
| nhaines | bliZZardz: I don't understand your question. You should install all those updates. Especially the security updates. | 04:52 |
| nhaines | bliZZardz: Do you mean you want to just install certain updates? | 04:52 |
| xantres | Does anyone know where I can get more monitor drivers, specifically for Samsung 2253bw? | 04:52 |
| trakinas | krsnadasa: compiling kernel in ubuntu is a pain in the * | 04:52 |
| trakinas | :/ | 04:52 |
| pvl1 | Candol, do "sudo apt-get install compizconfig-settings-manager" | 04:52 |
| Pithecanthropus | tech0007: AAAAAH. THANKS. I'll read up, be back in a bit. | 04:52 |
| Pithecanthropus | pvl1: depends. Do you do video editing or heavy computing stuff on your box? | 04:52 |
| tech0007 | Pithecanthropus: np | 04:52 |
| krsnadasa | trakinas: i can tell lol, i wonder if i should just jump onto debian ? | 04:52 |
| Pithecanthropus | pvl1: because if you don't, and you only use 32bit apps, then I wouldn't know if it was worth it. | 04:53 |
| pvl1 | Pithecanthropus, well i have edited movies on my xp boot (dont yell at me) and i do program a bit | 04:53 |
| bliZZardz | nhaines: there are 230 updates listed - which amounts to 200+MB - am sure this would take a minimum of 1 hour.Can i just install the security updates as of now? and install the the "recommended updates" later? | 04:53 |
| trakinas | krsnadasa: if you want to compile kernel and stuffs, yes. maybe even into gentoo. | 04:53 |
| Pithecanthropus | pvl1: on my behald I want to use ubuntu studio to help me coax the most out of an old system, intended for media creation and general computer learning | 04:53 |
| magic_ninja | i have a real problem | 04:53 |
| Candol | pvl1, I have that | 04:53 |
| krsnadasa | trakinas: *shiver* gentoo *shiver* | 04:53 |
| Candol | pvl1, that is what i used to set up the cube | 04:54 |
| magic_ninja | for some reason it shows two users logged in, but i only have one | 04:54 |
| Pithecanthropus | pvl1: I already dished out a lot of cash on my workstation (with vista64), so I'm not going to invest much more on this athlon... | 04:54 |
| dallas | hi | 04:54 |
| magic_ninja | and it doesn't show who the other user logged in is | 04:54 |
| Candol | pvl1, I think I know what I did | 04:54 |
| trakinas | krsnadasa: shiver? | 04:54 |
| s3a | Pithecanthropus: pvl1: cinelerra (linux video editor) is ideal for 64 bit | 04:54 |
| pvl1 | Candol, ok so use that for settings, but what setting did u set up when this changed and y | 04:54 |
| Pithecanthropus | pvl1: BUT, on the workstation (with a core 2 quad), I did go for 64 bit. | 04:54 |
| nhaines | bliZZardz: yes, you could. | 04:54 |
| tech0007 | magic_ninja: 'who' on terminal | 04:54 |
| nhaines | bliZZardz: Right-click on the updates list and say "uncheck all" | 04:54 |
| krsnadasa | trakinas: i remember when it first came out i just never like it | 04:54 |
| bliZZardz | nhaines : yo. am doing it | 04:54 |
| pvl1 | Pithecanthropus, y? will it run better? | 04:54 |
| dallas | anyone know how to get java runing right on ubuntu? | 04:55 |
| nhaines | bliZZardz: then just check the security updates. :) But it's the kernel that'll improve performance. | 04:55 |
| trakinas | krsnadasa: gentoo is really different from when it started. much more easier. | 04:55 |
| pvl1 | dallas, y isnt it runnign right currently? | 04:55 |
| Pithecanthropus | pvl1: I won't yell at you. People will yell at me for saying I love vista64 ultimate... because I do, frankly. | 04:55 |
| magic_ninja | tech0007, for some reason the 2nd user hides from "who" | 04:55 |
| tech0007 | !java | dallas: | 04:55 |
| ubottu | dallas:: To install a Java runtime/interpreter on Ubuntu, look at https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Java - For the Sun Java runtime install sun-java6-jre from the !Multiverse repository | 04:55 |
| bliZZardz | nahines : am not sure what do you mean by 'kernel' here!! how do i choose just the ketnel updates alone? | 04:55 |
| trakinas | there are 2 distros i love the most: debian and gentoo (they are on alphabetical order) | 04:55 |
| Candol | pvl1, I was going by this http://tutorialninjas.net/2008/05/09/multiple-desktop-backgrounds/ | 04:55 |
| bliZZardz | *kernel | 04:55 |
| dallas | awesome | 04:55 |
| dallas | think thats what i need | 04:56 |
| tech0007 | magic_ninja: not showing the userid of the 2nd user? | 04:56 |
| IceDingo | you can go to java.com and it has a linux version | 04:56 |
| Flynsarmy | Gah, flash player got even LESS stable with that last update. it not only still occasionally crashes firefox, it now has thousands of tiny white boxes everywhere and makes xorg use up 100% cpu on some swf's | 04:56 |
| magic_ninja | tech0007, yes | 04:56 |
| krsnadasa | trakinas: i am a debian guy, but because of the fuss and me coming back to linux after 6 yrs i figured why not try ubuntu its based on debian | 04:56 |
| Pithecanthropus | pvl1: well, I went for 64 bit to be able to do more stuff at a time and to allow the quad core processor to do it's work, without an os bottleneck, using all 8gb's of ram, for video and graphic rendering | 04:56 |
| pvl1 | Pithecanthropus, eh i wont judge u, it looks nice. but im now very confused as to the difference. i thought i386 and 64bit were completly different processosr | 04:56 |
| nhaines | bliZZardz: Go down in the recommended updates list and find the 'linux-image' updates | 04:56 |
| dallas | tired that icedingo | 04:56 |
| dallas | but thanks anyway | 04:56 |
| dallas | brb | 04:56 |
| IceDingo | ok | 04:56 |
| pvl1 | Pithecanthropus, well my point in programming is to learn 3d programming | 04:56 |
| IceDingo | how big is the update from 7.10 to 8.04? | 04:56 |
| nhaines | krsnadasa: it's really good to have you, and I'm sorry to say that compiling kernel modules is the one thing that hasn't improved. ;) | 04:57 |
| Pithecanthropus | pvl1: what are you using? python and blender? | 04:57 |
| bliZZardz | nahines : nothing like that . I can see 'distribution updates' | 04:57 |
| nhaines | IceDingo: about 800MB, usually. | 04:57 |
| IceDingo | ok | 04:57 |
| IceDingo | thanks | 04:57 |
| s3a | is the ubuntu kernel 100% free when u choose free software only mode on boot of live cd? | 04:57 |
| tech0007 | magic_ninja: on which pts? and display? | 04:57 |
| nhaines | s3a: yes. | 04:57 |
| trakinas | krsnadasa: oh yes! my first distro was debian. i was going to use kurumin (based on debian) but a friend told me to use debian. | 04:57 |
| pvl1 | Pithecanthropus, learning c++ and i still havent chosen if ima go straight into opengl or use an engine and which engine (more likely) but id wanna implement python or ruby for the game logic | 04:57 |
| krsnadasa | nhaines: lol thanks | 04:57 |
| s3a | nhaines: and wen u dont choose that mode, ur kernel is not 100% free? | 04:57 |
| trakinas | s3a: linux kernel are always free. | 04:57 |
| magic_ninja | tech0007, shows the pts and the x serve display on tty7 but not the other "mystery user" | 04:58 |
| bliZZardz | nhaines: let me go ahead and install the 67+mb and then see. hope the restricted modules doesnt break the X - it has done this to me umpteen number of times. | 04:58 |
| bliZZardz | :( | 04:58 |
| s3a | nhaines: not as in price | 04:58 |
| s3a | nhaines: i meant like no proprietary wireless card drivers in my kernel, right? (i chose free software only option) | 04:58 |
| nhaines | s3a: I understand. :) If you don't choose that mode, there are one of a couple of non-free hardware drivers that might be installed, only if you have them. | 04:58 |
| bliZZardz | presently Hardy looks really neat - praying to god that X doesnt break! | 04:58 |
| nhaines | s3a: But yes, if you chose free-software only, it should be "pure". | 04:58 |
| Shujah | EXIT | 04:59 |
| Pithecanthropus | pvl1: well, I don't know much about c++ or python, but that's what I want to get into as well in the future. I wouldn't know about the requirements or processor usage of both for learning purposes yet | 04:59 |
| Shujah | exit | 04:59 |
| trakinas | Shujah: /exit | 04:59 |
| Shujah | .exit | 04:59 |
| s3a | nhaines: :D, i asked bcuz i dint feel an impact or anything in the actual install, developpers should make it so that the install says free software only mode during the installation setup | 04:59 |
| krsnadasa | lol | 04:59 |
| bliZZardz | Pithecanthropus: pvl1: what is the conversation abt? (i see c++ and python :D ) | 04:59 |
| s3a | nhaines: just an idea | 04:59 |
| pvl1 | Pithecanthropus, hm. for now ill stick with this and research. | 04:59 |
| Pithecanthropus | pvl1: but I do know about editing video and working with After Effects, Fusion, Combustion, 3dStudio Max, Cinema 4d | 04:59 |
| pvl1 | bliZZardz, uhm uses for 64bit | 04:59 |
| trakinas | krsnadasa: hehe | 04:59 |
| pvl1 | Pithecanthropus, thats all video card | 04:59 |
| Pithecanthropus | pvl1: Cakewalk Sonar, Reason, ProTools and all Adobe and Macromedia | 05:00 |
| nhaines | s3a: The non-free stuff is extremely minimal. But if you need it, you need it. :) | 05:00 |
| pvl1 | Pithecanthropus, no idea what that is | 05:00 |
| Pithecanthropus | pvl1: and for them... the 64bit OS is amazing. | 05:00 |
| trakinas | Pithecanthropus: so you should have a dual boot. :] | 05:00 |

| s3a | nhaines: wait r u sayin i have proprietary stuff in my system? or did u just mean that the normal installation that is not the free software only mode has a minimal amount of proprietary software? | 05:01 |
| mouser- | bliZZardz: Aside from marking them manually, I don't think it differentiates between security update and regular update. Perhaps it should, like Windows and many other update managers do. | 05:01 |
| Pithecanthropus | trakinas: I will, but to keep certain stuff I use under xp. This pc has xp. Not vista 64. Is Cinelerra strong? | 05:01 |
| nhaines | s3a: I'm saying that the normal mode only has a minimal amount of proprietary software, restricted to certain drivers. | 05:01 |
| trakinas | s3a: there is a 100% free software, but i forgot its name. | 05:02 |
| Pithecanthropus | pvl1: I just cited a lot of media production software I use. I work in communications and advertising, hence the need for 64bit os's. | 05:02 |
| Pithecanthropus | pvl1: hence, also, my interest in the Ubuntu Studio flavour. | 05:02 |
| s3a | trakinas: if ur talkin bout gnewsense, i dont want to leave ubuntu, i just want free software only | 05:02 |
| trakinas | Pithecanthropus: vista s0x. hehe! yes. cinelerra is strong | 05:02 |
| pvl1 | Pithecanthropus, yea gotcha. eh studio is like ubuntu with just a buncha apps already isntalled. u can get the same apps, just have to synaptic them | 05:03 |
| trakinas | s3a: ok | 05:03 |

| krsnadasa | trakinas: ummm the newest kernel seems to be compiling just the newest prepatch has some problems | 05:04 |
| Pithecanthropus | pvl1: I was under the impression the Ubuntu Studio kernel was real-time? | 05:04 |
| Dex-Freudii | i've just upgraded hardy, and it uninstalled firefox!!! | 05:04 |
| trakinas | krsnadasa: i see... no need for me to compile kernels right now | 05:04 |
| pvl1 | Pithecanthropus, what du mean? | 05:04 |
| EnMasse187 | guys ubuntu had been ticking me off so i just switched back to windows xp :) | 05:04 |
| krsnadasa | Dex-Freudii: don't panic just goto the add/remove and add it again | 05:05 |
| nhaines | pvl1, Pithecanthropu: actually, I think Ubuntu Studio uses the realtime kernel. | 05:05 |

| Pithecanthropus | pvl1: Ubuntu Studio is RTOS | 05:05 |
| EnMasse187 | guys did you hear what i just said | 05:05 |
| Pithecanthropus | pvl1: Regular Ubuntu isn't. | 05:05 |
| Dex-Freudii | krsnadasa: i tried apt-get install firefox and won't work | 05:05 |
| EnMasse187 | i JUST went back to windows xp | 05:05 |
| krsnadasa | trakinas: i wish i could say same thing but thanks to good old iwl4965 the infamous intel i do :) | 05:05 |
| krsnadasa | Dex-Freudii: error please | 05:05 |
| trakinas | haha | 05:05 |

| EnMasse187 | I WAS JUST KIDDING | 05:06 |
| EnMasse187 | how could you guys believe that | 05:06 |
| nhaines | pavel989: It means the kernel can guarantee certain programs that it will give them a certain amount of time slices. | 05:06 |
| Dex-Freudii | firefox: Depends : firefox-3.0 but won't install | 05:06 |

| EnMasse187 | mouser-: what is? | 05:07 |
| krsnadasa | Dex-Freudii: try a dpkg -i -f firefox | 05:07 |
| Pithecanthropus | pavel: it's an operating system with a ... well, they explained. | 05:07 |
| pavel989 | Pithecanthropus, well then i guess u should go with ubunut studio | 05:07 |
| nhaines | pavel989: It's not common in desktop OSes and so Ubuntu isn't set up that way by default. But if you need it, there's a specially compiled kernel for you waiting in the repositories! :D | 05:07 |

| dallas | ok i'm still lost i know i need to uncomment some lines in my repository list but not sure witch | 05:08 |
| krsnadasa | Dex-Freudii: or a apt-get remove firefox and then a apt-get install firefox | 05:08 |
| * Ubuntu is kid tested, mother approved. | 05:08 | |

| Pithecanthropus | pavel1989: now all I have to learn how to do is write code and identify resources to compile a driver for my prodikeys ps2 midi controller keyboard and I'll be set | 05:08 |
| Dex-Freudii | firefox is not installed | 05:08 |
| tech0007 | dallas: do it the easy way ...system->adminsitration->software sources | 05:08 |
| Pithecanthropus | pavel1989: otherwise, I'd have to dish out cash on a USB or regular midi interface controller. | 05:09 |
| nhaines | pavel989: linux-image-rt | 05:09 |
| pavel989 | Pithecanthropus, well depending on which language, coding isnt too dificult | 05:09 |
| trakinas | dallas: pastebin your sources. | 05:09 |

| Pithecanthropus | but if it isn't, and this is open source, and I'm getting into this whole deal, then the proper thing to do for me would be to find out how to make it work and distribute it :) | 05:10 |
| Pithecanthropus | I have no idea, trakinas. It's creative, and they only work with winXP | 05:10 |
| xantres | With Dual monitors setup, my left monitor won't show the whole desktop, it has me scrolling, does anyone know what is causing that? | 05:10 |
| Dex-Freudii | installing firefox-3.0 requieres uninstalling ubuntu-desktop among others | 05:11 |

| pavel989 | Pithecanthropus, well c++ is wild wild language and should be considered devil worship, but it is strong. python is much more productive | 05:12 |
| Pithecanthropus | nhaines: that's why I want to get into this. I'm actually quite psyched. | 05:12 |
| nhaines | pavel989: yes, but you can't program a device driver in Python! | 05:12 |
| Dex-Freudii | i was running firefox fine untill i just upgraded :( | 05:12 |
| Dex-Freudii | that's a bug | 05:12 |
| pavel989 | nhaines, im sure out there, there is a way | 05:12 |
| Pithecanthropus | nhaines: ofcourse, the only thing I can program is math games in basic. | 05:12 |
| krsnadasa | Dex-Freudii: remember its never the computers fault its the users fault | 05:12 |

| Pithecanthropus | nhaines: or play with the logo turtle. | 05:12 |
| nhaines | pavel989: I doubt there is. It's not why Python is "for". I love Python. :) | 05:12 |

| trakinas | nhaines: same. | 05:25 |
| trakinas | but i have to learn how to do that on tty's. | 05:25 |

| sjwu823 | sjwu823: aww what would be the correct way to get netapplet to load automatically then? | 05:49 |
| Neo_The_User | if i smash my flash device that will do it to right? | 05:49 |
| Jaseem | so, I have to burn it. | 05:49 |
| PmDematagoda | Neo_The_User: you do realise that you are going to end up with a broken PC? | 05:49 |
| Jaseem | can i do that without burning? | 05:50 |
| Neo_The_User | oh yes of coarse! | 05:50 |
| orkid | so many choices for window manager. hmmmmm | 05:50 |
| wbmj | whit74 : Are you trying to install Hardy | 05:50 |
| krsnadasa | Jaseem: do you know what a iso is ? | 05:50 |
| PmDematagoda | Neo_The_User: well, your choice | 05:50 |
| Jaseem | some sort of compression, am I right? | 05:50 |
| krsnadasa | Neo_The_User: smashing the flash dosent help | 05:50 |
| Ranirahn2 | some one uses susbend? | 05:50 |
| krsnadasa | Jaseem: do a google search for iso and ubuntu backup ;) | 05:50 |
| Neo_The_User | if i erase the menu.lst file i can reinstall ubuntu and re-install ubuntu, will my system be fine? | 05:51 |
| crimsun | Ranirahn2: suspend-to-{ram,disk}? | 05:51 |
| krsnadasa | Ranirahn2: suspend don't work so well | 05:51 |
| krsnadasa | Neo_The_User: it depends on which ubuntu version | 05:51 |
| wbmj | my mistake you already said so | 05:51 |
| Neo_The_User | 8.04.1 | 05:51 |
| Ranirahn2 | so still dont work.... | 05:51 |
| krsnadasa | Neo_The_User: and then reinstall with what version ? | 05:51 |
| Neo_The_User | 8.04.1 | 05:52 |
| PmDematagoda | Ranirahn2: I think 2.6.24 doesnt work well in suspend, but 2.6.25 seems to have this fixed | 05:52 |
| Jaseem | Thanks. | 05:52 |
| Neo_The_User | via live c | 05:52 |
| Neo_The_User | d | 05:52 |
| krsnadasa | Neo_The_User: and the final reinstall with what version ? | 05:52 |
| Neo_The_User | 8.04.1 | 05:52 |
| PmDematagoda | Ranirahn2: but in order to have the best suspension and hibernation, your hardware and drivers also have to be compliant | 05:52 |
| mwhit74 | wbmj: ok well do you know how to fix it? or a way around it? | 05:52 |
| krsnadasa | Neo_The_User: well then if you don't mind losing your data no problem ;) your system will be all good | 05:52 |
| sjwu823 | pavel989: ohh so maybe my question is wrong. my point in asking is this: i need netapplet to load on boot for a miniature ubuntu (ubuntu core /w x) livecd tool for pc repair. | 05:52 |
| PmDematagoda | Ranirahn2: what's the VGA you have? | 05:53 |
| Ranirahn2 | ou.....then I just dont use that | 05:53 |
| krsnadasa | Ranirahn2: ;) | 05:53 |
| Ranirahn2 | VGA is? | 05:53 |
| trakinas | i have to go folks | 05:53 |
| PmDematagoda | Ranirahn2: uhm, Nvidia, ATi, Intel? | 05:53 |
| trakinas | bye all! | 05:53 |
| sjwu823 | pavel989: automatically might mean update-rc.d .... but i imagine not in this case the right way to have it load automatically. | 05:53 |
| Ranirahn2 | nvidia | 05:53 |
| wbmj | whit74: try booting the liveCD in safe mode | 05:53 |
| PmDematagoda | Ranirahn2: ah, that could be a problem | 05:54 |
| Ranirahn2 | i have laptop lenovo 3000 n100 | 05:54 |
| PmDematagoda | Ranirahn2: The Nvidia drivers are not the best in suspend and hibernation | 05:54 |
| krsnadasa | Ranirahn2: i have a asus f9sg | 05:54 |
| Neo_The_User | does ubuntu support coreboot? | 05:54 |
| krsnadasa | Neo_The_User: coreboot ? | 05:54 |
| Neo_The_User | i have nvidia with ubuntu | 05:54 |
| Neo_The_User | *hate | 05:54 |
| Neo_The_User | now have ati | 05:54 |
| Neo_The_User | yes coreboot | 05:54 |
| krsnadasa | Neo_The_User: i have nvidia :) with ubuntu | 05:55 |
| Neo_The_User | its terrible | 05:55 |
| Neo_The_User | crashs 1 / 3 boots | 05:55 |
| krsnadasa | Neo_The_User: i don't get what coreboot means? | 05:55 |
| sjwu823 | pavel989: never mind. i just thought of what to do. i'll add it sudoers as a passwordless app that can be run by the default live user. | 05:55 |
| krsnadasa | Neo_The_User: no problems for me | 05:55 |
| Ranirahn2 | when I move alot then susbend is nice do have but if not then I need every time shotdown | 05:55 |
| tritium | nvidia is well-supported | 05:55 |
| PmDematagoda | tritium: with suspend and hibernation? | 05:56 |
| nhaines | coreboot is a Linux-based BIOS firmware. | 05:56 |
| tritium | PmDematagoda: yes | 05:56 |
| krsnadasa | tritium: i can't hibernate with my nvidia ;( | 05:56 |
| PmDematagoda | tritium: but it seems that quite a lot of suspend and hibernation problems are due to the Nvidia driver not being able to handle it | 05:56 |
| metalpres | Neo_The_User: how can you hate nvidia with ubuntu? i had nothing but problems with ati, once i switched to nvidia everything just worked | 05:57 |
| Ranirahn2 | is there any change that there will be fix for susbend/hibernate system? | 05:57 |
| Neo_The_User | i booted up in low graphics mode almolst everyday | 05:57 |
| Neo_The_User | infinite loops | 05:58 |
| Ranirahn2 | some nice day maybe:P | 05:58 |
| metalpres | the ati drivers were such a pain in the balls to get working right, nvidia drivers just click and go, works perfect | 05:58 |
| PmDematagoda | Ranirahn2: you could try TuxOnIce | 05:58 |
| Neo_The_User | again and again low graphics mode | 05:58 |
| Neo_The_User | i have dual monitors | 05:58 |
| metalpres | weird | 05:58 |
| PmDematagoda | metalpres: and how long ago was that? | 05:58 |
| Neo_The_User | dual monitors + envy + ubuntu = trouble | 05:58 |
| EnMasse187 | can someone help me update enemy territory? | 05:58 |
| metalpres | last time i used ati was like 6 months ago, i have no idea if ati has made progress with their drivers since then | 05:58 |
| Ranirahn2 | what is tuxonice? | 05:59 |
| metalpres | just upgraded to an 8600 gtx | 05:59 |
| PmDematagoda | metalpres: I believe ATi drivers have progressed quite a lot during those 6 months | 05:59 |
| tritium | PmDematagoda: that is true | 05:59 |
| PmDematagoda | Ranirahn2: http://www.tuxonice.net/ | 06:00 |
| Neo_The_User | i use the drivers from the ati webiste ad it works fine | 06:00 |
| Neo_The_User | i almost always have to use envy | 06:00 |

| Neo_The_User | ubottu sorry | 06:00 |
| ubottu | It's ok, I can't stay mad at you. | 06:00 |

| metalpres | im really interested in the new ati 4850, that card is crazy fast and cheap | 06:01 |
| Flaim | Hi folks. I need some help w/ a logitech quickcam for notebooks working on my laptop.. | 06:01 |

| Hobbsee | hey there | 06:07 |

| PmDematagoda | EnMasse187: do you have the patch? | 06:07 |
| Pithecanthropus | can anyone help me? | 06:07 |
| sassasu | Flaim: thanks. i am trying to figure out why my /home partition is 90% used... /home is 40GB. I have files for only 15GB. But it shows i have used 35.7GB. Why this happens? | 06:08 |
| Ahadiel | Guest50078, Try setting your keyboard layout. | 06:08 |
| Guest50078 | how | 06:08 |
| Ahadiel | Guest50078, System => Pref => Keyboard I believwe | 06:08 |

| Pithecanthropus | thanks, Ahadiel. | 06:09 |
| Pithecanthropus | I'm just really confused about where my Ubuntu install went. | 06:09 |
| Flaim | aww poo, it won't let me assign the blue Access IBM character to anything.. heh | 06:09 |
| Shoopuf | Pithecanthropus: Don't you get the GRUB showing up on startup? | 06:09 |
| Flaim | key, not character.. | 06:09 |

| pteeb | anyone help me compile a gtk theme? | 06:10 |
| Pithecanthropus | Shoopuf: no. | 06:10 |
| PmDematagoda | EnMasse187: do ./name-of-patch | 06:10 |
| Ahadiel | luftetari, What's the error, and is it NTFS? | 06:10 |
| Pithecanthropus | Shoopuf: And GRUB WAS installed. | 06:10 |
| Flaim | sassasu: that you'll have to figure out, read up on the command 'du' and it will help you out. | 06:10 |
| octal | Pithecanthropus: what do you get? | 06:10 |
| Pithecanthropus | octal: Windows. | 06:11 |
| Pithecanthropus | octal: :) | 06:11 |
| Flaim | sassasu: but for now, try this: du -sh .|less | 06:11 |
| sassasu | Flaim: thanks very much flaim.. I will try that. | 06:11 |
| octal | Pithecanthropus: why not trying to install it again? | 06:11 |
| sassasu | bye | 06:11 |
| Pithecanthropus | Octal: it just boots into windows as usual. | 06:11 |
| Flaim | that will tell you what dirs have the most crap in em | 06:11 |
| Flaim | yep! | 06:11 |
| octal | Pithecanthropus: if you just installed it, it won't hurt trying again. | 06:11 |
| Flaim | anyone had luck getting a Logitech Quickcam for Notebooks working? | 06:11 |
| luftetari | Ahadiel extern hard disk with USB | 06:12 |
| Ahadiel | !pm | luftetari | 06:12 |
| ubottu | luftetari: 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. | 06:12 |
| Pithecanthropus | Octal: because it IS installed, it created a new partition, which I can't even see on windows, resizing one of my disks from 120gb to 42gb | 06:12 |
| Ahadiel | luftetari, That's also not very much info, and how do you know it has an error? | 06:12 |
| Pithecanthropus | Octal: also, there's no refference to GRUB on my boot.ini file. | 06:12 |
| luftetari | i cant see my extern HD USB | 06:13 |
| Guest50078 | the only thang that happens whin i push the fn key and up or down i selict difrent icons | 06:13 |
| octal | Pithecanthropus: did you already have some personal data in your installation? | 06:13 |
| Ahadiel | luftetari, pastebin the output of dmesg | 06:14 |
| bazhang | Guest50078, you have it mapped to fn plus f1-f12? | 06:14 |
| Ahadiel | !paste | luftetari | 06:14 |
| ubottu | luftetari: 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) | 06:14 |
| Pithecanthropus | Octal: what do you mean? | 06:14 |
| Guest50078 | how do i do that | 06:14 |
| Pithecanthropus | Octal: also, I can't see any files that say grub on them on my C: drive. | 06:14 |
| Pithecanthropus | Octal: everything just looks like plain windows to me. | 06:14 |
| octal | Pithecanthropus: Am I right if I assume that you NEVER got to actually use it since you installed it, and therefore, you don't have done anything in that installation? | 06:14 |
| Pithecanthropus | Octal: I just finished installing it 3 minutes ago. | 06:15 |
| bazhang | Guest50078, just pushing fn will likely have little effect | 06:15 |
| Pithecanthropus | Octal: this is my first ever Linux install. | 06:15 |
| octal | Pithecanthropus: Ok. I don't know *for sure* what happened. When I did, it worked. You might have --though-- installed it on the partition instead of the MBR. | 06:15 |
| mwhit74 | nhaines: what did you say to try for visual C++ on here | 06:15 |
| octal | Pithecanthropus: Ubuntu doesn't actually load from boot.ini. That's Windows specific (since it lives INSIDE a proprietary NTFS partition). | 06:16 |
| octal | Pithecanthropus: If you install GRUB on your MBR, your MBR code will get modified and you will be given the option to boot from the Linux partition or the Windows partition. | 06:16 |
| Pithecanthropus | Octall: when I was done installing it, the computer rebooted, booted into windows, windows did a checkdisk for drive integrity (probably due to the resize), then got into the system, told me the system had changed and needed to restart. I restarted it, and here I am, in XP. | 06:16 |
| octal | Pithecanthropus: Try it again, but install GRUB on the MBR. | 06:17 |
| pteeb | i have a gtk theme folder, with the images and gtkrc file, how do i load it? | 06:17 |
| Guest50078 | all i know is i pushed alot of random keys and looked up and the screen was dark i thank thats when it happend so i reset and its still dark | 06:17 |
| Pithecanthropus | Octal: GRUP was installed on my MBR on the C: drive. Ubuntu Studio was installed on a new partition made from my D: drive, which was in itself a partition of the same physical HDD my C: drive is in. | 06:17 |
| Pithecanthropus | Octal: I DID install GRUB to the MBR. | 06:18 |
| octal | Pithecanthropus: I don't know what happened, then. :-( | 06:18 |
| octal | Pithecanthropus: I would try again, though. | 06:19 |
| Pithecanthropus | Octal: The partition and hdd resize was obviously done as D: has gone from 120gb to 42gb. | 06:19 |
| Guest50078 | x | 06:19 |
| Guest50078 | \ | 06:19 |
| Pithecanthropus | Alright, second time around, let's see what happens. | 06:19 |
| Guest50078 | ops | 06:19 |
| Pithecanthropus | Let's hope this does the trick and doesn't mess up my C: drive instead. When murphy's law hits, it hits. | 06:19 |
| Pithecanthropus | be back in a bit, hopefully. | 06:19 |
| krsnadasa | were do i get the kernel(generic) source from ? | 06:19 |
| octal | Pithecanthropus: probably your partitions are already made. You won't have to modify your Windows partitions again. | 06:20 |
| EnMasse187 | PmDematagoda: hey ? | 06:20 |
| EnMasse187 | PmDematagoda: so can you help? | 06:20 |
| octal | Pithecanthropus: good luck. | 06:20 |
| Pithecanthropus | Octal: I just hope you're right. | 06:20 |
| Pithecanthropus | thanks | 06:20 |

| puwei | quick local switcher mean ? | 06:44 |
| EnMasse187 | PmDematagoda: no i have not used et before on ubuntu, and i dont know if i have the drivers, im just guessing i dont because the games not running... | 06:44 |
| bazhang | jeela, try alt-f2 | 06:44 |
| gaelfx | pvl1: usually when watching video, hence the audio freeze symptom | 06:44 |
| bazhang | puwei, it is a firefox addon, let me get you a link | 06:44 |
| PmDematagoda | EnMasse187: go to Hardware Drivers in System>Administration and see if you can install the driver from there | 06:44 |
| gaelfx | pvl1: but occasionally it freezes with nothing open | 06:44 |
| puwei | oh i'll try google that , thanks | 06:45 |
| EnMasse187 | PmDematagoda: kk | 06:45 |

| gaelfx | pvl1: it's not listed as a process that's running, no | 06:45 |
| pvl1 | y do ppl compile kernels? | 06:46 |
| bazhang | puwei, you need to restart firefox after choosing the correct language and setting scim to correct keyboard input | 06:46 |
| Bladesman | And is SpeakUP supported? | 06:46 |
| jeela | bazhang: it is of no use | 06:46 |
| pvl1 | <gaelfx> ok so no effecrs. what video card u got? | 06:46 |
| PmDematagoda | pvl1: for specific uses and purposes | 06:46 |
| bazhang | jeela, do you have 3d drivers for your card installed | 06:46 |
| jeela | bazhang: how can I kow this ? | 06:46 |
| Madpilot | Bladesman, 2.6.24-19-generic on hardy. no idea about speakup - never heard of it. | 06:46 |
| pvl1 | <PmDematagoda> what can it do? | 06:46 |
| Bladesman | Thank you... | 06:47 |
| gaelfx | pvl1: NVidia GeForce 6150 | 06:47 |
| pvl1 | <gaelfx> howd u set up the driver? | 06:47 |
| bazhang | jeela, go to system preferences appearance tab (visual effects) and set there-->it will let you know if you can | 06:47 |
| PmDematagoda | pvl1: it can increase the performance at times, you can tweak security options and features, make the kernel image smaller, add new features/drivers, and quite a lot more perhaps | 06:47 |
| Bladesman | Madpilot: SpeakUP is a screen reader module for the blind. | 06:47 |
| gaelfx | pvl1: not using the restricted driver, just running the out of the box version | 06:48 |
| puwei | ok, i have a slowly net speed :) | 06:48 |
| bazhang | back in a minute | 06:48 |
| maco | gaelfx: no restricted driver on nvidia = no 3d | 06:48 |
| pvl1 | <gaelfx> i strongly urge u get envy and use that. that might fix it | 06:48 |
| gaelfx | maco: That's not what I'm concerned about here, thanks | 06:49 |
| pvl1 | <maco> compiz isnt the problem | 06:49 |

| kcman | i d/loaded alternate cd for 8.04 | 07:09 |
| PmDematagoda | marie, isnt bluez in the repositories? | 07:09 |
| gaelfx | pvl1: it might have been that I disabled the restricted NVidia driver first and that messed up my resolution in the first place | 07:09 |
| kcman | alraune i d/loaded alternate cd for 8.04 | 07:09 |
| marie | I think it's packaged with the kernel or such, but I need the latest version | 07:09 |
| alraune | kcman:checked the cd ? | 07:09 |
| pvl1 | <gaelfx> after using envy u shouldnt touch that at all | 07:09 |

| icewolf | I have a simple question, which ATi driver is best for Ubuntu? I just installed the ati offical one and with compiz enabled it goes all white, I am in failsafe right now | 07:14 |
| marie | I'm trying to setup a bluetooth sniffer to record wiimote signals and send packages to the wii | 07:14 |

| roxygirl | Hi. I'm starting a new business and looking for some sort of database/accounting program to keep track of customers, registrations, contact info, invoicing, etc. I would really appreciate it having a good GUI, to keep the learning curve to a minimum. any ideas? | 07:14 |
| gaelfx | pvl1: hey, did you mean 'sudo apt-get install envy-core'? | 07:14 |
| icewolf | PmDematagoda: radeonHD? | 07:14 |
| PmDematagoda | icewolf: yes | 07:15 |
| marie | PmDematagoda: there isn't a package for the libs? | 07:15 |
| rockenrola1 | michelle: is your wireless card reconized by the system? | 07:15 |
| icewolf | PmDematagoda: I've tried FLGRX and the ENVY ones, envy did not work correctly. | 07:15 |
| theRealBallchalk | marie: what exactly do you have in mind with this project if you don't mind me asking? | 07:15 |
| icewolf | PmDematagoda: radeonHD meaning? who makes that driver? | 07:15 |
| PmDematagoda | marie: I think the libs are included, else bluez wont work :) | 07:15 |
| alraune | roxygirl: open office has a lot of that stuff | 07:15 |
| marie | theRealBallchalk, cheating | 07:15 |
| PmDematagoda | icewolf: ati = Red Hat and some others, radeonHD=Novell and AMD(and maybe others) | 07:15 |
| PmDematagoda | icewolf: but both drivers are pretty similar | 07:16 |
| theRealBallchalk | i honestly dont see what osx can't do linux can do | 07:16 |
| icewolf | PmDematagoda: I am not seeing the difference, I am confused, I tried the offical ATI driver, which does not like compiz fusion. but this RadeonHD driver, is it made by ati? | 07:16 |
| roxygirl | alraune: i've found open office to be buggy, and crash alot. i'm trying for other alternatives... | 07:16 |
| chriswr | anyone know if world of warcraft works well with ubuntu? | 07:16 |

| theRealBallchalk | bazhang: a little bit of both why? | 07:17 |
| chriswr | lol | 07:17 |
| icewolf | PmDematagoda: is the performance of all the ati drivers fairly similar? | 07:17 |

| maco | theRealBallchalk: have a good window manager | 07:17 |
| PorkSoda | Have to ask a general question, but to weed out "if" I should ask the question.. Any one have experience using x11vnc through ssl? | 07:17 |
| bazhang | theRealBallchalk, chat in #ubuntu-offtopic; support here | 07:17 |
| theRealBallchalk | bazhang: ohh thanks | 07:18 |
| Vamkiir | chriswr depends - you can use wine for emulation of win32, I heard it works ok with that. | 07:18 |
| maco | theRealBallchalk: i really quite hate that OSX/Finder lack the ability to have focus follow mouse, to keep an unfocused window on top, to shade windows... | 07:18 |
| PmDematagoda | icewolf: ati and radeonHD are pretty similar from what ive heard, except that they used to deviate in the way they communicated with the card(emphasis on USED to) | 07:18 |
| Shujah_ | chriswr, yes WoW is stable via wine/ubuntu | 07:18 |
| * theRealBallchalk coming from #solaris i'm a bit naive of ubuntu chans | 07:18 | |
| chriswr | vamkiir: yeah thats what i was wondering , thnx | 07:18 |
| maco | theRealBallchalk: it just makes it unusable for me. i want proper window management features, and only Linux or BSD will satisfy me | 07:18 |
| PmDematagoda | icewolf: radeonHD is in the repos, apt-get install xserver-xorg-video-radeonhd | 07:18 |
| Vamkiir | oh btw | 07:18 |
| jeela | bazhang: I am still having problem with compiz. Complete error is http://paste.ubuntu.com/27009/ | 07:18 |

| Vamkiir | if you are a serious gamer though, I heard Cedega is better. | 07:19 |
| icewolf | PmDematagoda: bonus thank you :) | 07:19 |
| theRealBallchalk | thanks i can you helping out here bazhang good luck | 07:19 |
| Vamkiir | it has better emulation of Direct X | 07:19 |
| bazhang | jeela, you went to hardware drivers and saw if they were in use? what about appearances (visual effects tab) | 07:19 |
| PmDematagoda | Vamkiir: not any more though, Ive heard that Cedega is going down these days | 07:19 |
| Shujah_ | chriswr, you might try googling for playonlinux it'll help too | 07:19 |
| Vamkiir | really? | 07:19 |
| maco | Vamkiir: Wine has been catching up to Cedega and Crossover | 07:19 |

| bazhang | reverx, seems to be broadcom from what I can tell; though they sometimes switch things out so hard to know for sure | 07:30 |
| orkid | how can i install 'awesome' (a window manager) version 2.3 in hardy ? the version in the repos is 2.0final, intrepid has 2.3, backports doesn't seem to have it ? | 07:30 |
| gaelfx | pvl1: I installed the core and the gtk, gtk made it show up in the app menu | 07:30 |
| alraune | Tux2k8: that means that this host blocked there | 07:30 |
| Tux2K8 | alraune : so it blocked from connecting via ssh? | 07:31 |
| Tux2K8 | alraune : 10x for the answer | 07:31 |
| alraune | yes | 07:31 |
| bazhang | orkid, why you need the very latest? | 07:31 |
| orkid | the configs have changed a lot | 07:31 |
| icewolf | PmDematagoda: hah package not found | 07:31 |
| orkid | i'm guessing most docs are available for 2.3 now bazhang | 07:31 |
| bazhang | orkid, what does that mean | 07:31 |
| PmDematagoda | icewolf: how did you install it in the first place? | 07:31 |
| orkid | it means a lot of bug fixed and features have been added since 2.0 | 07:32 |
| Tux2K8 | any idea how to configure denyhosts to block after 2 failed passwords (ssh) ?? | 07:32 |
| reverx | bazhang: alright - many thanks. | 07:32 |
| pvl1 | <gaelfx> envy ng comes up? | 07:32 |
| bazhang | orkid, you will have to either find a deb or compile it yourself | 07:32 |
| bazhang | orkid, unless they have a repo | 07:32 |
| icewolf | PmDematagoda: the ati offical install utility | 07:32 |
| PmDematagoda | icewolf: so that wasnt from the repos? | 07:33 |
| Rat409 | orkid: fwiw http://awesome.naquadah.org/ | 07:33 |
| orkid | i have a deb, but it requires a newer version of pango. :S i thought backports would have all this . :S | 07:33 |
| orkid | tx Rat409 i know :) | 07:33 |
| gaelfx | pvl1:envyng-core -qt -gtk all come up | 07:33 |
| icewolf | PmDematagoda: correct, and now I do not know how to remove it | 07:33 |
| gaelfx | pvl1: but nothing that is only envyng | 07:33 |
| bazhang | orkid, newest is not always better; other things may error out as a result | 07:33 |
| pvl1 | <gaelfx> i guess try the core. wont harm ya | 07:33 |
| orkid | i know, bazhang | 07:33 |
| Rat409 | icewolf: you using sudo with the command? | 07:33 |
| l815 | anyone know how my laptop runs a lot hotter with ubuntu than arch? could ubuntu's configuration be off? (vaio laptop) | 07:34 |
| orkid | i think i'm going to have to install from source, just trying to keep it as close to debs as possible | 07:34 |
| PmDematagoda | icewolf: I dont think the fglrx driver would cause much problems anyway, just install radeonHD, and then do:-sudo dpkg-reconfigure xserver-xorg and select radeonHD | 07:34 |
| Rat409 | orkid: google checkinstall works most of time if not always /usr/local | 07:35 |
| Rat409 | orkid: its in repos iirc | 07:35 |
| orkid | tx theRealBallchalk | 07:35 |
| orkid | erm sry | 07:35 |
| orkid | tx Rat409 | 07:35 |
| gaelfx | pvl1: got it | 07:35 |
| icewolf | PmDematagoda: ok thanks boss | 07:36 |
| pvl1 | <gaelfx> ok is it in apps-system? | 07:36 |

| wols | !anyone | 07:42 |
| ubottu | 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? | 07:42 |
| vaportrailnew123 | my youtube downloads are exceptionally slow. any idea y? | 07:42 |
| neil_d | I have an iptables script to setup a firewall, if I run it after bootup everything appears to work. If I run it as part of the boot scripts, then something strange happens, once booted, if I run "sudo iptables -L -v" it hangs and never returns :( what could cause this ? | 07:43 |
| hateball | Anyone know if it's possible to send magic packets over a WLAN conection? Not TO a wireless NIC, but rather from and to a ethernet one. | 07:43 |
| chriswr | anyone familiar with startup-manager , if so im on the appearance tabe and under bootloader themes it wont let me check " use background image for bootloader menu " , anyone know why? | 07:44 |
| Rat409 | neil_d: firestarter does it here occassionally i restart it. from /etc/init.d | 07:44 |
| pvl1 | <chriswr> is grub fine? | 07:44 |
| rockenrola1 | chriswr: me too. sounds like a bug | 07:44 |
| chriswr | pvl1: idk , what you mean? | 07:45 |
| neil_d | Rat409: do you know if the firewall is working at that stage ? | 07:45 |
| Rat409 | neil_d: yes,it set iptables | 07:45 |
| pvl1 | chriswr: when ur computer boots, does it give u a list of stuff before loading ubuntu? | 07:45 |
| chriswr | pvl1: yes, windows media center , ubuntu , and windows | 07:46 |
| vaportrailnew123 | my youtube downloads are exceptionally slow. any idea y? | 07:46 |

| rockenrola1 | chriswr: forget what I said. have you chosen an image first? | 07:46 |
| chriswr | wols: but mine work fine | 07:47 |
| pvl1 | <chriswr> ok. well u can always do it by hand. there are howtos in the forums which explain how | 07:47 |
| chriswr | rockenrola1: nope , will that fix it? | 07:47 |
| vaportrailnew123 | what do i do? | 07:47 |
| rockenrola1 | chriswr: it will be enabled | 07:47 |
| chriswr | pvl1: ok , if i cant get it working ill do that | 07:47 |
| pvl1 | <chriswr> should work now. but good luck | 07:48 |
| chriswr | rockenrola1: woop , that fixed it , thnx | 07:48 |
| Rat409 | neil_d: a dirty work-around might be to call a restart via /etc/rc.local | 07:48 |
| chriswr | pvl1: got it , thnx | 07:48 |

| [}-o0o-{] | Hi | 07:52 |
| rockenrola1 | I need to run a command after resuming from hibernation. ideias ? | 07:52 |
| [}-o0o-{] | Newb question | 07:52 |
| [}-o0o-{] | GeForge 7600 is supported in Ubuntu 8.04? | 07:53 |
| wols | yes | 07:53 |
| Pithecanthropus | anyway - two questions: 1. Ubuntu Studio's sound is awful on my pc. I'm using an SB Audigy, and everything sounds completely distorted. Anybody know anything about this? It's hideous. | 07:53 |
| wols | !studio | 07:53 |
| ubottu | UbuntuStudio is a collection of packages for the artist who wishes to use Ubuntu as their Digital Audio Workstation. It contains all the best Audio/Visual components from the Ubuntu repositories. For more info and install instructions, join #ubuntustudio or see http://ubuntustudio.org | 07:53 |
| Ahadiel | [}-o0o-{], GeForce* and yes, yes it is. | 07:53 |
| Pithecanthropus | 2. My screen resolution is stuck at 1024x768 | 07:53 |
| [}-o0o-{] | Ahadiel: Full ? and 3D | 07:53 |
| Pithecanthropus | ...and now, after pressing num lock, everything i type, beeps. | 07:54 |
| Ahadiel | [}-o0o-{], Yes, after enabling the restricted driver you'll have 3d acceleration. | 07:54 |
| Pithecanthropus | wth? | 07:54 |
| GodFatheR | Can anyone help a new ubuntu user attempt an install of synce? | 07:54 |
| rockenrola1 | Pithecanthropus: disable the beep | 07:54 |
| Pithecanthropus | why does it beep though??? | 07:54 |
| [}-o0o-{] | Ahadiel: Do you have a link/instruction howto enable the restricted driver | 07:54 |
| wols | !studio | Pithecanthropus | 07:54 |

| Pithecanthropus | wols, thank you. I've checked and haven't found much help. | 07:55 |
| Ahadiel | [}-o0o-{], System => Admin => Restricted Drivers | 07:55 |
| rockenrola1 | Pithecanthropus: not sure. but I always disable the beep | 07:55 |
| wols | Pithecanthropus: this is a ubuntu support, not ubuntu studio | 07:55 |
| Pithecanthropus | I mean, I like the system and all, but, I haven't managed to make it work properly yet. | 07:56 |
| [}-o0o-{] | Ahadiel: Thank's , apreciated | 07:56 |
| Pithecanthropus | I see wols. I guess Ubuntu and Ubuntu Studio are completely different then? | 07:56 |
| Flannel | Pithecanthropus: No, theyre not. | 07:57 |
| Flannel | Pithecanthropus: Have you tried the non realtime kernel? | 07:57 |
| Pithecanthropus | they are to wols. I'm heading off to #UbuntuStudio as well. | 07:57 |
| Pithecanthropus | no, Flannel. | 07:58 |
| Pithecanthropus | this is the first time I've ever tried linux, to be honest | 07:58 |
| Pithecanthropus | and setting it up has been an incredible pain | 07:58 |
| Pithecanthropus | I tried Ubuntu via Live CD and that just messed up my windows | 07:58 |
| Pithecanthropus | had to edit my boot ini, manually remove wubi and ubuntu | 07:58 |
| Pithecanthropus | ubuntu itself wouldn't even boot | 07:58 |
| GodFatheR | Can anyone help a new ubuntu user attempt an install of synce? | 07:59 |
| Pithecanthropus | I've had all sorts of trouble. Like, I learned the hard way that you can't have "USB Mouse Support" on in your CMOS because it's incompatible with Ubuntu. | 07:59 |
| Ahadiel | GodFatheR, sudo apt-get install synce? | 07:59 |
| GodFatheR | "couldnt find package synce" | 08:00 |
| === vark is now known as dieg0s | ||

| JDStone | any ideas? | 08:01 |
| Pithecanthropus | great. 32 users in #ubuntustudio. | 08:01 |
| neil_d | Rat409: I did a iptables-save to a file and used iptables-restore in rc.local and that seems to have fixed the problem | 08:01 |
| alraune | Pithecanthropus:My usb mouse works fine.. | 08:01 |
| Pithecanthropus | alraune, my usb mouse works fine as well. But I have it as disabled on my bios features. | 08:01 |
| rockenrola1 | GodFatheR: aptitude search synce | 08:02 |
| wols | !info synce | 08:02 |
| ubottu | Package synce does not exist in hardy | 08:02 |
| Pithecanthropus | otherwise I couldn't get Ubuntu or Ubuntu Studio to install. | 08:02 |
| Ahadiel | GodFatheR, I quick and easy google of "Synce" goes a long way... http://www.synce.org/moin/SynceWithUbuntu | 08:02 |
| alraune | Pithecanthropus:so wheres the prob ? | 08:02 |
| Pithecanthropus | it would give me a "could not initialize i8046" error. | 08:02 |
| Ahadiel | GodFatheR, A quick* | 08:02 |
| wols | Pithecanthropus: your BIOS support sucks. how old is the PC? | 08:03 |
| Pithecanthropus | the problem is my audio is completely blasted (heavily distorted and low) and I can't set my screen resolution past 1024x768 | 08:03 |
| GodFatheR | Ahadiel, Been there done that | 08:03 |
| Pithecanthropus | wols, it's a chaintech vnf4 ultra motherboard. | 08:03 |

| Pithecanthropus | on an athlon 64 4000+ socket 939. | 08:03 |
| Pithecanthropus | old enough? | 08:03 |
| GodFatheR | Ahadiel, I receive errors during the installation instructions | 08:04 |
| GodFatheR | I can follow it step by step if you wouldnt mind | 08:04 |
| GodFatheR | Ahadiel, let you know what it says | 08:04 |
| alraune | Pithecanthropus:did you configure your monitor+graca? | 08:04 |
| Ahadiel | GodFatheR, pastebin the errors for me | 08:04 |
| Pithecanthropus | yup | 08:04 |
| Pithecanthropus | downloaded the latest nvidia drivers | 08:04 |

| wols | Pithecanthropus: the problem is not your display but your driver | 08:07 |
| Ahadiel | Pithecanthropus, sudo nvidia-xconfig, then restart X | 08:07 |
| Guest36289 | i thing i can not put subs with devede | 08:07 |

| wols | Pithecanthropus: if you did download drivers from nvidia.com you hsoed you ubuntu already. congrats | 08:08 |
| Pithecanthropus | let me try the sudo nvidia-xconfig | 08:08 |
| GodFatheR | Ahadiel, This is the first one, not familiar with what it means though http://pastebin.com/d26aa102f | 08:08 |
| Pithecanthropus | wols: I didn't download anything from nvidia.com | 08:08 |
| Pithecanthropus | I got it from the repositories. | 08:08 |
| Pithecanthropus | Ubuntu itself recommended it. | 08:09 |
| Ahadiel | GodFatheR, sudo apt-get -f install | 08:09 |
| Ahadiel | GodFatheR, Just as it says to do -_- | 08:09 |

| Pithecanthropus | hmm | 08:10 |
| Pithecanthropus | it's not doing anything | 08:10 |
| Pithecanthropus | how do i get to the terminal? | 08:11 |
| Ahadiel | Pithecanthropus, terminal or alt+f2? | 08:11 |

| Raheem | i just noticed that I cannot play, or copy video-cds to hdd in linux .. tried it in Ubuntu Hardy, Sabayon 3.5 & Mandriva Spring, with no luck.. any help ? | 08:12 |
| GodFatheR | Ahadiel, yeah I did that as well just like it said but got more problems, http://pastebin.com/d116d7953 | 08:12 |
| wols | !dvd | Raheem | 08:12 |
| ubottu | Raheem: For playing DVD, see http://help.ubuntu.com/ubuntu/desktopguide/C/video.html - "libdvdcss2" can be found at !Medibuntu or (for Feisty and earlier) http://wiki.ubuntu.com/SeveasPackages - Try k9copy (available in !Universe) for backing up DVDs | 08:12 |
| octal | Pithecanthropus: welcome aboard. | 08:12 |
| alraune | Raheem:what type of file ? | 08:12 |
| Pithecanthropus | Ahadiel: I have no Applications. lol | 08:12 |
| GodFatheR | Ahadiel, I dont know I had done most of the stuff that was reccomended but was met with failure or errors | 08:12 |
| Raheem | wols, thanks .. but i am talking about videocds .. not dvds .. i was able to play it in 7.10 until the recent kernel upgrade | 08:13 |
| Ahadiel | Pithecanthropus, then in alt+f2 type "gnome-terminal| | 08:13 |
| Pithecanthropus | Octal: man this thing is turning out to be fun. I was under the impression it would be more trouble free. | 08:13 |
| Ahadiel | err gnome-terminal* | 08:13 |
| Ahadiel | GodFatheR, try sudo apt-get -f install librra-tools | 08:13 |
| Raheem | vcds | alraune | 08:13 |
| wols | !tell Raheem about errors | 08:13 |
| ubottu | Raheem, please see my private message | 08:13 |
| alraune | Raheem:sudo apt-get install vlc (a player including codecs) | 08:13 |
| Pithecanthropus | ahadiel | 08:14 |
| Pithecanthropus | I get: Using X Configuration file: /etc/X11/xorg.conf | 08:14 |
| Ahadiel | Pithecanthropus, I don't need to know what it says, just if the command executed correctly. | 08:15 |

| Pithecanthropus | WARNING: The CorePointer device was not specified explicitly in the layout; using the first CorePointer in the config input list. | 08:15 |
| Raheem | alraune, this is not a player, codec issue .. this is something to do with the mounting of vcds .. i read it in forums .. but, i just want to know anyone successfully playing vcds | 08:15 |
| Pithecanthropus | then another warning about CoreKeyboard | 08:15 |
| GodFatheR | Ahadiel, already installed? | 08:15 |
| alraune | Raheem:I can | 08:15 |
| octal | Pithecanthropus: Nah, you just get to personalize it a little and make it suit your needs, but it gets very trouble free after a while. -- Actually, it doesn't. I'll bet you will start trying lot of different things with Ubuntu and you will keep it fun. | 08:16 |
| Ahadiel | GodFatheR, I guess you would try sudo apt-get autoremove first | 08:16 |
| Raheem | hhmm.. alraune did u do any special settings ? or it just played out of the box ? which kernel ? | 08:16 |
| akuma55 | what does this mean "Path is not Writable -- make sure you chmod +w this path"? | 08:16 |
| Pithecanthropus | octal: as of right now, I can't get audio out of it (I can, but it sounds incredibly distorted and low) and I can't change my screen resolution to anything higher than 1024*768 | 08:17 |
| hkittysmoothie | I recently uninstalled (and purged) the shorewall firewall, but I still get messages in my ftp log that shorewall is blocking the connection? How do I get rid of it? | 08:17 |
| Ahadiel | akuma55, It means you chmod +w /that/path | 08:17 |
| wols | akuma55: it means the user trying to write to this path doesn't have the permissions to do so | 08:17 |
| GodFatheR | Ahadiel, http://pastebin.com/dd445ac8 | 08:17 |
| Raheem | as far as i know, this happens with all the distros with the kernel 2.6.16 & above | 08:17 |
| alraune | Raheem:2.6.24-16, codecs,player,suitable dvd combo, nothing special | 08:17 |
| akuma55 | oh | 08:18 |
| Pithecanthropus | octal: if the regular flavor of ubuntu is more user-friendly, I might uninstall this and head that way. Problem is, how do I uninstall it?? | 08:18 |
| wols | Raheem: this is wrong. cause I doubt linux people can't play VCDs for >2 years now... | 08:18 |
| Pithecanthropus | octal: just a format? | 08:18 |
| wols | Pithecanthropus: you don't uninstall an OS. you simply overwrite it | 08:18 |
| Raheem | nope.. that was a type .. i mean 2.6.24-16 :) | 08:18 |
| Raheem | typo * | 08:18 |
| alraune | wols:VCD=video cd ?! | 08:18 |
| Ahadiel | GodFatheR, sudo apt-get install librra0-tools | 08:18 |
| Raheem | yes alraune | 08:18 |
| rockenrola1 | Pithecanthropus: can't you just uninstall the ubuntustudio metapackage ? | 08:19 |
| Raheem | i still have 7.10 with an older kernal in the other partition , can play it fine | 08:19 |
| Pithecanthropus | wols: right. For some reason I was hoping I could download and replace the RealTime Kernel in Ubuntu Studio for the regular kernel in ubuntu, and download the rest of the OS from the repositories. | 08:19 |
| GodFatheR | Ahadiel, http://pastebin.com/m19b619e3 | 08:19 |
| octal | Pithecanthropus: I can't know for sure, as I'm not an expert, but you might as well try it. It's worth the ride. | 08:19 |
| Pithecanthropus | rockenrolal: this Ubuntu Studio version is off the Alternate Install dvd image from ubuntustudio.org | 08:20 |
| hkittysmoothie | I recently uninstalled (and purged) the shorewall firewall, but I still get messages in my ftp log that shorewall is blocking the connection? How do I get rid of it? | 08:20 |
| alraune | Raheem:few days ago we had an unsolved problem with DRM_DVDs,couldnt be accessed on certain drives | 08:20 |
| alraune | Raheem:can u mount/acces the drive ? | 08:21 |
| Ahadiel | GodFatheR, sudo apt-get remove opensync-plugin-synce-legacy && sudo apt-get -f install | 08:21 |
| Raheem | alraune, i am talking about Video CDs .. in hardy it gives me I/O erros .. | 08:21 |
| rockenrola1 | Pithecanthropus: ubuntu studio is just a meta package as ubuntu-desktop. basically a group of programs. it is therotically possible to switch | 08:21 |
| Raheem | yes, I can mount / view the drive contents .. can't play it, can't copy it | 08:21 |
| Pithecanthropus | hmm | 08:21 |
| Pithecanthropus | rockenrolal: let me check that out | 08:21 |
| DistroJockey | Pithecanthropus, take a look at: sudo tasksel | 08:22 |
| alraune | raheem:What an error occurs ? | 08:22 |
| Raheem | the same drive can be accessed through VMWare [winxp guest] | 08:22 |
| Raheem | I/O erros, it says | 08:22 |
| alraune | raheem:tried differnt cd's ? | 08:22 |
| Raheem | yup.. so many ;) | 08:23 |
| akuma55 | Ahadiel, how do i do that | 08:23 |
| GodFatheR | Ahadiel, I think that fixed the error, http://pastebin.com/m2ae1da47 , question is, wherre do I start from here? | 08:23 |
| alraune | raheem:and in the same drive u can watch them with ubuntu 7 ?? | 08:24 |
| Ahadiel | GodFatheR, Well let's see, where did that error stop you in the guide? | 08:24 |
| hkittysmoothie | I recently uninstalled (and purged) the shorewall firewall, but I still get messages in my ftp log that shorewall is blocking the connection? How do I get rid of it? | 08:24 |
| Raheem | alraune, yes . in 7.10 i can watch it .. with older kernel | 08:24 |
| alraune | raheem:same drive ? | 08:25 |
| Raheem | same drive | 08:25 |
| GodFatheR | Ahadiel, well the tutorial stated something along the lines of skipping a step, if you had the new kernel 2.6.24-19 but there is no reference to the specific step needed to skip | 08:25 |
| GodFatheR | Ahadiel, it was around that area | 08:25 |
| GodFatheR | Ahadiel, probably right at the core librarires | 08:26 |
| alraune | raheem:did you try to copy them via terminal ? | 08:26 |
| Raheem | as I said, I have VMWare Server installed in Hardy .. i have winxp guest in it .. I usually copy the cd through winxp guest to my pen drive, take it hardy & watch it .. | 08:26 |
| GodFatheR | libraries* | 08:26 |
| Pithecanthropus | DistroJockey: dude, I just got into the tasksel. That rocks! | 08:26 |
| uatec_ | Hello there | 08:26 |
| DistroJockey | Pithecanthropus, aye :) | 08:26 |
| vircuser | hey | 08:26 |
| === vircuser is now known as bigs | ||
| Raheem | yes, I did .. it gives i/o error .. i can't give u the exact error now, because I am at office using xp :( | 08:26 |
| uatec_ | for some reason i'm upgrading ubuntu 7 to ubuntu 8 | 08:26 |
| uatec_ | and my CPU is going crazy | 08:26 |
| uatec_ | just at the section "Setting up ca-certificates..." | 08:26 |
| Pithecanthropus | DistroJockey: I can download or enable/disable apps. One of them is the Ubuntu Desktop. My question is, if I just get that, will that come with everything regular ubuntu has? | 08:27 |
| Raheem | i think i would leave it for now .. it is not critical ... will come back with exact errors in few hours | 08:27 |
| uatec_ | is this normal? should i just wait or kill it? | 08:27 |
| Pithecanthropus | DistroJockey: including the Ubuntu Kernel? | 08:27 |
| uatec_ | i've been waiting like 15 minutes already | 08:27 |
| neil_d | I need some pointers, I have two computer (both with modems), how would I go about getting a ppp conection between them ? | 08:27 |
| Flannel | Pithecanthropus: if you install ubuntu-desktop and the generic kernel, you'll have it. | 08:27 |
| Pithecanthropus | flannel: how do I get the generic kernel? | 08:27 |
| DistroJockey | Pithecanthropus, should get the apps, not sure about the kernel | 08:27 |
| hkittysmoothie | I recently uninstalled (and purged) the shorewall firewall, but I still get messages in my ftp log that shorewall is blocking the connection? How do I get rid of it? | 08:27 |
| Flannel | Pithecanthropus: ubuntu-desktop doesn't depend on a kernel, to allow you to run whichever one you'd like. so, sudo apt-get install ubuntu-desktop linux-generic | 08:27 |
| alraune | raheem:just an idea, maybe wrong driver for cd,see you then | 08:27 |
| DistroJockey | Pithecanthropus, and removing tasks from there may not remove all either | 08:28 |
| GodFatheR | Ahadiel, So I wasnt sure if the "step" they were referring to was everything up to the core library step or including the core library step | 08:28 |
| Raheem | alraune, thanks | 08:28 |
| Flannel | hkittysmoothie: Which package(s) did you install/remove? and what version of Ubuntu are you on? | 08:28 |
| GodFatheR | Ahadiel, you must forgive how newbish I am but you must run into this alot lol | 08:28 |
| DistroJockey | Pithecanthropus, but it's great for getting LAMP up and running :) | 08:28 |
| Flannel | Pithecanthropus: linux-generic is the generic kernel | 08:28 |
| Pithecanthropus | DistroJockey and Flannel: so in the end, the safest bet is to overwrite and install Ubuntu, eh? | 08:28 |
| Pithecanthropus | DistroJockey: what is LAMP? | 08:29 |
| Ahadiel | GodFatheR, Umm, I believe the step being refered to is the "kernel module" one. I would just go on from Core Libraries. | 08:29 |
| Raheem | !LAMP | 08:29 |
| ubottu | LAMP is an acronym for Linux-Apache-MySQL-PHP. However, the term is often used for setups using alternative but different software, such as Perl or Python instead of PHP, and Postgres instead of MySQL. For help with setting up LAMP on Ubuntu, see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/ApacheMySQLPHP - See also the Server CD installation process (different in Edgy+) | 08:29 |
| DistroJockey | Pithecanthropus, you have an 8.04.1 install atm? | 08:29 |
| hkittysmoothie | Flannel: I installed shorewall and shorewall-doc, both of which I removed. I'm on Hardy | 08:29 |
| Flannel | Pithecanthropus: You mean reinstall? That'll certainly be the cleanest. | 08:29 |
| DistroJockey | Pithecanthropus, Linux Apache Mysql and PHP/Perl | 08:29 |
| Pithecanthropus | Flannel: do you think my problems have to do with the kernel? | 08:29 |
| GodFatheR | Ahadiel, ok thanks, let me try that , YOU ARE THE MAN?WOMAN | 08:29 |
| GodFatheR | MAN/WOMAN | 08:29 |
| Pithecanthropus | Flannel: or particular drivers for my hardware? Yes, I'm running 8.04.1. | 08:29 |
| GodFatheR | ;P | 08:30 |
| DistroJockey | Pithecanthropus, LAMP = nice web server setup basically | 08:30 |
| Flannel | hkittysmoothie: The problem is "shorewall" on hardy is a transitional package. The new shorewall is in the package "shorewall-shell" which installing "shorewall" installed automatically. But removing "shorewall" hasn't removed "shorewall-shell". You want to purge "shorewall-shell" and also "shorewall-common" | 08:30 |
| Pithecanthropus | DistroJockey: cool. | 08:30 |
| rockenrola1 | Pithecanthropus: reinstall migth not be a bad ideia. do you have an ubuntu cd? if you do my advise create a separate partition for your home folder | 08:30 |
| hkittysmoothie | Flannel: thanks, I'll try it. | 08:30 |
| Pithecanthropus | DistroJockey: while we're at it, I'm gonna download the regular Ubuntu desktop. | 08:30 |
| Flannel | Pithecanthropus: It could very well, yes. You don't have to get rid of -studio to get the generic kernel though. Just install linux-generic, and then reboot and choose the generic kernel at grub. | 08:30 |
| DistroJockey | Pithecanthropus, what about the Alternate CD? | 08:30 |
| Flannel | Pithecanthropus: Of course, it might be -studio related (I believe they use JACK, I don't know for sure) | 08:31 |
| Pithecanthropus | rockenrolal: I have a separate Ubuntu CD in x86 and x64 flavours, and Studio in the same x86 and x64 flavours. I just didn't know which to install at first. | 08:31 |
| anonymouss | whats the difference between rm -rf * and rm -rf *.* ? | 08:31 |
| DistroJockey | Pithecanthropus, if you don't need a live CD, I'd get the Alternate | 08:31 |
| Pithecanthropus | rockenrolal: as you can see, I was really really keen on going ubuntu. | 08:31 |
| Flannel | Pithecanthropus: What from studio are you going to use? | 08:32 |
| GodFatheR | Ahadiel, How did you know what to get rid of by the way? | 08:32 |
| GodFatheR | Ahadiel, I would have never been able to figure that out. | 08:32 |
| rockenrola1 | Pithecanthropus: good! go with x86. you will experience less problems with flash | 08:32 |
| Ahadiel | GodFatheR, it's all in the error, it said unmet dependencies of X, so I removed X. | 08:32 |
| Pithecanthropus | Flannel: Yes, I have jack. Don't see anything special with it though. As for Studio, I was planning on using this pc as a media creation box, ie: audio, video, graphics. | 08:32 |
| GodFatheR | Ahadiel, How did you isolate exactly what X was? | 08:33 |
| Pithecanthropus | rockenrolal: currently on ubustu x86 as well. | 08:33 |
| hkittysmoothie | Flannel: Thanks, now shorewall is all gone. But FTP connections are still failing | 08:33 |
| Pithecanthropus | DistroJockey: both ubuntu install cd's have alternate and live methods, ubustu, on the other hand, are only alternates. | 08:33 |
| Flannel | Pithecanthropus: Alright, well, every (program) that comes bydefault in studio is in the regular Ubuntu repositories. So you can always just install/use the programs | 08:33 |
| Ahadiel | GodFatheR, http://pastebin.com/m19b619e3 see lines 7 and 8 | 08:33 |
| DistroJockey | Pithecanthropus, ahh | 08:34 |
| Pithecanthropus | Flannel: so what's the main advantage of studio? just the Real Time Kernel? | 08:34 |
| rockenrola1 | Pithecanthropus: basically yah | 08:34 |
| Flannel | Pithecanthropus: Its just all installed by default. The difference between studio and regular ubuntu is the same as the difference between ubuntu and kubuntu (well, ok, the latter has a little bit more of a difference, but semantically its the same) | 08:34 |
| Flannel | Pithecanthropus: but yeah, the real time kernel was created originally by the studio team | 08:35 |
| Pithecanthropus | all: hmm, maybe I killed it by installing LADSPA and DSSI audio plugins without knowing what they are or do? | 08:35 |
| GodFatheR | Ahadiel, wow ok, thanks | 08:35 |
| jeela | I cant run Compiz Error: jamil@jamil-desktop:~/compiz-0.6.2$ compiz --replace | 08:35 |
| jeela | /usr/bin/compiz.real: symbol lookup error: /usr/lib/compiz/libdecoration.so: undefined symbol: decor_apply_gravity | 08:35 |
| jeela | Window manager warning: "" found in configuration database is not a valid for keybinding "toggle_shaded" | 08:35 |
| GodFatheR | Ahadiel, well I have anotherr problem but its related to synce if your familiar with it | 08:36 |
| Ahadiel | GodFatheR, Sorry, but I am not. | 08:36 |
| DistroJockey | Flannel, any idea on how to swap or add those different kernels (studio and server mainly) to a standard Ubuntu install while keeping the current one? | 08:36 |
| hkittysmoothie | All attempts at connecting to my ftp server fail. I'm running pure-ftp, with pureadmin. This is what I get when trying to connect: http://paste.ubuntu.com/27017/ | 08:37 |
| Flannel | DistroJockey: you can have any/all the servers (generic, server, rt) installed at once. You'd just select them with GRUB (and I have no idea how the GRUB ordering works) | 08:37 |
| GodFatheR | Ahadiel, Thanks for your help! | 08:37 |
| Flannel | hkittysmoothie: Thats not a firewall problem, since you're connecting fine. That's an authentication problem. Are you sure your passwords/etc are set up properly? | 08:38 |
| DistroJockey | Flannel, yep, aware of that, but it's getting those kernels installed that I am not to sure on. (Not really looked though, so if you don't know, don't worry) | 08:38 |
| Pithecanthropus | I'm installing the ubuntu desktop and it's programs from tasksel. | 08:38 |
| DistroJockey | :) | 08:39 |
| Pithecanthropus | taking quite a while though | 08:39 |
| hkittysmoothie | Flannel: I've made sure that I'm entering the passwords correctly -- I even temporarily set it to "aoeu" just so that I could be sure that it was being entered correctly. | 08:39 |
| DistroJockey | Pithecanthropus, to be expected | 08:39 |
| Flannel | DistroJockey: Sure, linux-generic, linux-server, and linux-rt are the packages | 08:39 |
| DistroJockey | Flannel, ahh, cool. Thanks :) | 08:39 |
| Pithecanthropus | I maximized then minimized the window, and now it's all black. Yay. | 08:40 |
| Pithecanthropus | lol | 08:40 |
| Pithecanthropus | I'm having a blast. | 08:40 |
| DistroJockey | heh :) | 08:40 |
| Flannel | DistroJockey: -386 is also available, although I'm not sure if that really would be classified as the same difference magnitude as the others. Its an arch thing, not a type of kernel. | 08:40 |
| DistroJockey | Pithecanthropus, It'll come back when it's ready :) | 08:40 |
| Pithecanthropus | this reminds me of when I was like 12 and somehow deleted my father's pc's double-space information | 08:40 |
| Pithecanthropus | from his DOS hard disk. | 08:41 |
| DistroJockey | Flannel, ahh nice. Handy to know. Not that I'll need it really. Only one 386 running that I look after. | 08:41 |
| Pithecanthropus | DOS. Those were the days. | 08:41 |
| DistroJockey | Pithecanthropus, double-space *shudders* | 08:42 |
| Pithecanthropus | when Monkey Island II came in 7 3.5 floppy disks. | 08:42 |
| Flannel | DistroJockey: most 386s (except the early ones) probably run fine with generic. -386 is only around in case your proc really doesn't like the ability-finding techniques of -generic | 08:42 |
| Pithecanthropus | and people bought Creative Labs multimedia kits, with a sound blaster 16 and 4x cd rom. | 08:42 |
| DistroJockey | Flannel, cool :) | 08:43 |
| Pithecanthropus | Flannel, so after this | 08:43 |
| wols | Flannel: ubuntu kernel was compiled for 386? | 08:43 |
| Pithecanthropus | in terminal, I do sudo apt get linux generic? | 08:44 |
| Johnny_5 | i just put a new sound card n my comp...how can i set it so i can use a keyboard shortcut 2 adjust the volume??? right now i have 2 use ALSA mixer 2 adjust the volume.... | 08:44 |
| paul_5666 | hi all, i can't open open office database, whilst i have just installed the whole suite by using the add/remove software box. word opens fine | 08:44 |
| DistroJockey | Pithecanthropus, close, but you missed some -'s and the install bit :) | 08:44 |
| hkittysmoothie | Anyone have an idea as to why my ftp server always fails authentication? | 08:44 |
| Pithecanthropus | sudo apt -get install linux generic | 08:44 |
| Pithecanthropus | eh, linux-generic | 08:45 |
| DistroJockey | Pithecanthropus, sudo apt-get install linux-generic | 08:45 |
| Pithecanthropus | I have to learn this stuff fast. | 08:45 |
| hkittysmoothie | paul_5666: I had the same problem and ended up having to install the database program specifically via add/remove | 08:45 |
| Johnny_5 | i just put a new sound card n my comp...how can i set it so i can use a keyboard shortcut 2 adjust the volume??? right now i have 2 use ALSA mixer 2 adjust the volume.... | 08:46 |
| paul_5666 | hkittysmoothie: thats how i installed it in the first place | 08:46 |
| Johnny_5 | i'm still usin' gutsy | 08:46 |
| Pithecanthropus | thanks. Other than the audio and video problems, I'm really liking this system. | 08:46 |
| Flannel | wols: the -386 kernel is | 08:46 |
| Pithecanthropus | ..well, OS. | 08:46 |
| Pithecanthropus | ok | 08:46 |
| Pithecanthropus | I got a mistake from tasksel: aptitude fale. | 08:47 |
| Pithecanthropus | faild | 08:47 |
| Pithecanthropus | ahh! failed | 08:47 |
| Pithecanthropus | 128. | 08:47 |
| hkittysmoothie | paul_5666: so you installed each program individually? or did you select the option to install the whole suit? | 08:47 |
| octal | Johnny_5: have you tried System => Preferences => Keyboard Shortcuts yet? | 08:47 |
| ross | hi, would I be able to install internet explorer on ubuntu and make it work? | 08:47 |
| Flannel | Pithecanthropus: sudo apt-get update && sudo apt-get install ubuntu-desktop linux-generic | 08:47 |
| paul_5666 | hkittysmoothie: i installed it individually then when that didint work i installed it as a suite. | 08:47 |
| VelcroMan | Can't VMware player boot from a usb-stick? | 08:47 |
| hateball | ross: Yes | 08:47 |
| hkittysmoothie | ross: http://www.tatanka.com.br/ies4linux/page/Main_Page | 08:47 |
| Johnny_5 | yeah, but i can try again usin' the new card i guess... | 08:47 |
| hkittysmoothie | paul_5666: Then I don't know, sorry | 08:48 |
| paul_5666 | hkittysmoothie: ok... ill just uninstall it then try again. | 08:48 |
| Johnny_5 | brb | 08:48 |
| Pithecanthropus | 126mb of additional space, flannel. It's working :) | 08:48 |
| Pithecanthropus | le's hope this fixes or helps. | 08:49 |
| Pithecanthropus | (how do I do the whole 4 monitor switching deal?) | 08:49 |
| DistroJockey | Pithecanthropus, not sure what happened to the tasksel operation. Not seen that before. Still have the complete error message you could pastebin? | 08:49 |
| Pithecanthropus | it just said what I typed: aptitude failed (128) | 08:50 |
| DistroJockey | Pithecanthropus, ahh, k | 08:51 |
| DistroJockey | Pithecanthropus, do you have 4 monitors? | 08:52 |
| Pithecanthropus | no | 08:52 |
| Pithecanthropus | Distro, I meant the 4 desktop switching I've seen so much on youtube | 08:53 |
| paul_5666 | hi, my open office database doesnt work when installed. does anyone have a fix? | 08:53 |
| Pithecanthropus | I only have one desktop visible. | 08:53 |
| Pithecanthropus | hmm | 08:53 |
| SNuxoll | Pithecanthropus: you mean virtual desktops | 08:53 |
| hateball | Compiz cube | 08:53 |
| hateball | Most likely | 08:53 |
| DistroJockey | Pithecanthropus, ahh, compiz + desktop-cube plugin | 08:53 |
| SNuxoll | Pithecanthropus: ctrl + alt + lef/right | 08:53 |
| Pithecanthropus | I'm getting a system restart required | 08:53 |
| ross | i tried that, but there's one problem with one line | 08:53 |
| Pithecanthropus | be right back | 08:53 |
| ross | the wget http://www.tatanka.com/br/ies4linux/downloads/ies4linux-lastest.tar.gz doesn't work | 08:54 |

| rockenrola | kari: that is a weird quuestion | 09:04 |
| DistroJockey | kari, why would you want to? | 09:04 |
| wols | kari: not doable. php is a php source file, mp3 is a compressed music format | 09:04 |
| kaustav | its urgent guys... I need to setup Ubuntu. but am unable to boot the LIVE CD... the X server doesn't start | 09:04 |
| wols | mohi: ls /var/www/ | 09:04 |

| kaustav | wols: I ordered the Ubuntu discs. can't it fixed somehow ? | 09:05 |
| orphean | Pithecanthropus: var/log is a directory. you need to access the files inside it | 09:05 |
| mohi | wols: just index.html | 09:05 |
| mohi | ompaul: sure. 1 min plz | 09:05 |

| kaustav | rockenrola: I ordered | 09:05 |
| wols | mohi: then you didn't run the ln command as I told you. DO IT! | 09:05 |
| orphean | kari: try renaming it to <whatever>.mp3 and see if it plays. it might. | 09:05 |
| rockenrola | kari: change the extension | 09:05 |
| mohi | orphean: oh! BTW I can see the phps in my ~/public-html | 09:05 |
| DistroJockey | Pithecanthropus, sudo apt-get install pastebinit && cat /var/log/Xorg.0.log | 09:05 |
| ompaul | mohi, you need to symlink the php dir to the www dir | 09:05 |
| Flannel | kaustav: Try the "install ubuntu" option instead of boot the live CD option | 09:05 |
| mohi | ompaul: oh! BTW I can see the phps in my ~/public-html | 09:05 |

| Pithecanthropus | With help from Flannel, Wols and Distrojockey, I have now also installed the regular Ubuntu Kernel (generic) and ubuntu desktop package, but I still have the same audio issues, so it's not a kernel or version problem per se. | 09:33 |
| wols | !ask | skillmenta | 09:33 |
| ubottu | skillmenta: 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. :-) | 09:33 |
| wols | Pithecanthropus: what exact audio chip? | 09:33 |
| DistroJockey | Pithecanthropus, can you describe the distortion at all? | 09:33 |
| Pithecanthropus | wols: for my SB Audigy? | 09:33 |

| bazhang | compubomb, try the minimal installer iso 9mb | 11:42 |
| ikonia | compubomb: is is / going to be everything ? | 11:42 |
| skillmenta | ikonia: im trying to. it's not that it's not allowed it's just a limitation. what possible gain could i be getting? umm...none - so i am being respectful | 11:42 |
| compubomb | ikonia: i'll just give it 2 partitions not going over 30gb total | 11:42 |
| moderatelybc | Installing latest Bricolage on Ubuntu Hardy and it tells me that I don't have a version >= 7.3 of PostgreSQL, but I have 8.3. Does the same with Apache. Any ideas? | 11:42 |
| ikonia | skillmenta: the limitation = 1 ip, so dont try to use 2 ip | 11:42 |
| compubomb | i hate winxp 50gb and ubuntu 30gb so i'm left with roughly 80gb for storage space for both. | 11:43 |

| compubomb | i'm going to use ntfs partition which i know ubuntu supports fairly well now. | 11:43 |
| ikonia | compubomb: my laptop is using 4.5 gig, thats an install, plus a lot of application, plus some data, I can't see an install needing more than that for the actual applications | 11:43 |
| skomara-jibagger | how can i format ma mp-3 player | 11:43 |
| skillmenta | im not im trying to use 1 | 11:43 |
| ikonia | compubomb: I wouldn't advise installing onto an ntfs partition | 11:43 |
| compubomb | nono.. | 11:43 |
| skillmenta | i dont wanna use my home IP, it's just because i have a gui at home | 11:43 |
| compubomb | seperate from ntfs partition | 11:43 |
| ikonia | skillmenta: your trying to use 2 , and masquarade that as 1 | 11:43 |
| ikonia | compubomb: ahh, so not on ntfs, my mistake | 11:44 |
| compubomb | i'm just making sure winxp & ubuntu partitions are in the font of the partition table etc. | 11:44 |
| skillmenta | no im trying to download off 1. i only have flux on my dedi server | 11:44 |
| skillmenta | i only download the .torrent file to my home IP | 11:44 |
| ikonia | skillmenta: why are you not using your dedicated server then ? | 11:44 |
| ikonia | skillmenta: download it to your dedicated server, use that, as it's meant to be | 11:45 |
| skillmenta | because it's got no GUI!! I can't get around the captchas! that's what i'm trying to figure out lmao | 11:45 |
| skillmenta | keep up m8 | 11:45 |
| bazhang | skomara-jibagger, if it turns up as a usb storage device you can do so; can you see it mounted when you plug it in? | 11:45 |
| ikonia | skillmenta: you said it had fluxbox on ? | 11:45 |
| skomara-jibagger | yes | 11:45 |
| ikonia | skillmenta: I assume flux=fluxbox ? | 11:45 |
| skillmenta | i said flux, as in torrentflux | 11:45 |
| ikonia | skillmenta: ah, ok, | 11:45 |
| skillmenta | it was obvious what im talking about because im on about torrents | 11:46 |
| ikonia | skillmenta: well, stop trying to get around the limitations, use 1 tacker at a time per ip | 11:46 |
| ikonia | skillmenta: it's not obvious your talking about that, or I would't have made the mistake | 11:46 |
| bazhang | skillmenta, no one understood what you were talking about. | 11:46 |
| rockenrola | skillmenta: can't you just download it to your pc and then upload it to the server ? | 11:46 |
| * kyncani also think flux == fluxbox | 11:46 | |
| skillmenta | well maybe your just not reading me properly | 11:46 |
| ikonia | skillmenta: please try to be descriptive | 11:47 |
| bazhang | skillmenta, flux = fluxbox here | 11:47 |
| DistroJockey | no, fluxbox = fluxbox | 11:47 |
| skillmenta | in a torrents sense, i assumed ppl would understand | 11:47 |
| mrbichel | Hello my update mannager suddenly removed firefox and installed some update to xulrunner. Now i can't reinstall firefox3. | 11:47 |
| fehrp | hi all | 11:47 |
| === fehrp is now known as rejj_on | ||
| DistroJockey | flux is a state | 11:48 |
| leonardnimoy | can I use compiz effects and pekwm skins together? | 11:48 |
| mrbichel | i get this: firefox-3.0: Depends: xulrunner-1.9 (>= 1.9~rc) but it is not going to be installed E: Broken packages | 11:48 |
| skillmenta | anyway it's a limitation not a rule! i've contacted the admins of the trackers and they tried to help, im not (trying) breaking any rules or they would've said something | 11:48 |
| sparklingshrew | i thought flux was flow of current or some such, but there we go :p | 11:48 |
| rejj_on | there is something weird in ubuntu here: When I stick in my usb headphone, I hear the ubuntu startup sound, but afterwards when playing music, only PCM output works, there is total silence in the headphone. | 11:48 |
| bazhang | skillmenta, how does this relate to ubuntu support | 11:48 |
| === sparklingshrew is now known as shinygerbil | ||
| skillmenta | because i'm trying to figure out how to get the torrent metafile to contain my server ip rather than my home IP. the tracker assigns an idividual .torrent file to the IP that requests it. i need that .torrent file to be specific to my server IP | 11:50 |
| leonardnimoy | sometimes my ubuntu doesnt start up, it just shows the bootscreen, I had to restart 5 times until it finally loaded | 11:50 |
| kyncani | mrbichel: i have firefox installed from hardy-updates/main | 11:50 |
| ikonia | skillmenta: iptables with masqurading is the most realistic way | 11:50 |
| harveyd | just having a problem with a small shell script | 11:50 |
| harveyd | http://paste.arandomurl.com/4879ddcb993b3 | 11:50 |
| skillmenta | i thought using a proxy to download the .torrent via my server | 11:50 |
| skillmenta | thankyou | 11:51 |
| TtyS2 | leonardnimoy: sounds more like a hw problem than a problem with ubuntu, sure u dont have a disk that starts to defunct? | 11:51 |
| harveyd | it gives me datestring not found or something along those lines | 11:51 |
| ikonia | harveyd: datestring = `date +%C%Y-%m=%d | 11:51 |
| ikonia | harveyd: need the back ticks | 11:51 |
| banisterfiend | hey where is the 'workspace switcher applet' i can't see it, where do i find it in gnome? | 11:51 |
| harveyd | ah k, cheers | 11:51 |
| skillmenta | i think it's when you log out | 11:52 |
| mrbichel | if i tell synaptic to install firefox now it wants to remove a bunch of important apps ie. ubuntu desktop. Have anyone else ha this problem? | 11:52 |
| skillmenta | and can change user | 11:52 |
| __ryan__ | how do i add identd to xinetd? | 11:52 |
| rejj_on | http://pastebin.com/m43d86588 this is the output I get from the usb headphone. It seems ubuntu recognises the headphone but then fails to initialise? | 11:52 |
| skillmenta | it's saying it will remove the meta package | 11:52 |
| ikonia | mrbichel: firefox is already installed | 11:52 |
| ikonia | __ryan__: /etc/xinetd/include.d | 11:52 |
| skillmenta | i don't think it actually removes it - can someone confirm this tho - i dont wanna b responsib;e | 11:52 |
| DistroJockey | banisterfiend, right-click a panel, then Add to Panel... Workspace Switcher | 11:53 |

| kyncani | mrbichel: i have firefox installed from hardy-updates/main -> so enable hardy-updates repositories | 11:53 |
| N3bunel | sorry | 11:53 |
| ikonia | mrbichel: firefox is installed in every ubuntu desktop install | 11:53 |
| ikonia | mrbichel: by default | 11:53 |

| rockenrola | rejj_on: whay are your phones usb? | 11:53 |
| ikonia | rockenrola: /etc/xinet.d | 11:53 |
| mrbichel | yes i know but my problem is that update mannager just removed it and won't let me install it again | 11:54 |
| rockenrola | ikonia: thats for me? | 11:54 |
| rejj_on | rockenrola: this is not helping. | 11:54 |
| ikonia | mrbichel: update-manager doesn't remove it, did you ask it to remove it | 11:54 |
| ikonia | rockenrola: yes sorry | 11:54 |
| omec | hello everyone i've installed ubuntu but i am having some sound issues here. I do have sound but i cannot manage it from the desktop (volume icon) ... maybe someone had the same problem and maybe can give me a hand..rgds | 11:54 |
| __ryan__ | ikonia, do i add a file in /etc/xinet.d called identd or do i need to add a line in to xinetd.conf | 11:54 |
| ikonia | rockenrola: no it wasn't | 11:54 |
| ikonia | __ryan__: you add a line file called ident then set it up with something like this (I'll post a pastebin link in a moment | 11:54 |
| mrbichel | yes it said it needed to in order to install another update so i allowed it and thought i could probably reinstall it afterwards. | 11:55 |
| __ryan__ | ikonia, thanks no rush | 11:55 |
| mrbichel | it wanted to update xulrunner | 11:55 |
| zoli21 | omec: press F2 and write: "gnome-volume-control". Do you see the volume control? | 11:55 |
| ikonia | __ryan__: here is an example of the cvs package, you should be able to use it to make your ident service http://paste.ubuntu.com/27049/ | 11:55 |
| mrbichel | and it did, the strange this is that now synaptic says that xulrunner is missing for firefox3 | 11:55 |
| banisterfiend | DistroJockey: thanks :) | 11:55 |
| DistroJockey | banisterfiend, you're welcome :) | 11:55 |

| __ryan__ | ikonia, thanks i'll give it a try | 11:56 |
| mrbichel | no | 11:56 |
| ikonia | __ryan__: make sure disable = no, and your ports and path and args and bind settings are pesonal to your machine AND ident | 11:56 |
| __ryan__ | ikonia, not sure what to put under args? unless it's the actual ident i want | 11:57 |
| rockenrola | mrbichel: have you tried to remove and purge firefox and xulrunner, and install them again ? | 11:57 |
| mrbichel | purge? | 11:57 |
| omec | hello zoli2l: I can access to that and i've istalled alsa mixer and trough that I can control the sound volume...i guess the issue is that trough the desktop icon I cannot access to the PCM (i am in a asus laptop. I hope u understand my lousy english :P) | 11:58 |

| mrbichel | no because if i try to remove xulrunner synaptic also wants to remove ubuntu desktop amonger others | 11:59 |

| deathchimp | <alraune> i don't have the complete log so I cant follow it. It detected the screen resolution correctly on the live CD, I just cant figure it out now. | 12:20 |

| rockyrock | hi guys, i'm reading a book about Ubuntu and it says that there is a Device Manager like the one in Windows in Ubuntu and i can reach it from System> Administration> Device Manager. BUT I can't find it!!! I have 8.04 | 12:22 |
| H__ | rockenrola it's a package manager i happen to use. it adds an icon to my taskbar when there are updates. For manual work i use synaptic | 12:22 |

| Frogzoo | bitchxuser: ubuntu's a bit more user friendly | 12:23 |
| omec | DistroJockey, yes...trough pavucontrol I also get access to the laptop control (like alsa mixer) the issue just remains in the stupid volume control icon that does not provide me control to the PCM (identified in alsa and pavucontrol as ALSA PCM on front:0 (ALC861 Analog) via DMA)... does it make sense? it seems that different applications rule the same hardware in different ways... | 12:23 |
| DistroJockey | Jemt, Alt and scroll wheel on your mouse? | 12:23 |
| yamitenshi | DistroJockey: didn't do the trick, as soon as the tooltip disappears the widget loses keyboard focus =\ | 12:23 |
| opt1k | so i selected those 2 | 12:23 |
| kane77 | Jemt, iirc Alt+scrolling changes opacity | 12:23 |
| rockenrola | H__: well can't help with that. but synaptic, aptitude and similar should be fine. they are all basically the same thing | 12:23 |
| alraune | <deathchimp:dpkg-reconfigure -phigh xserver-xorg | 12:23 |
| Jemt | kane77, Nope :) | 12:23 |
| Jemt | Win+scroll does | 12:23 |
| DistroJockey | omec, sorry, no further ideas atm | 12:23 |
| DistroJockey | yamitenshi, sorry, no further ideas atm | 12:24 |
| bitchxuser | Frogzoo How can Ubunto be more user-friendly, if it's just taking Debian packages (some of them) ? | 12:24 |
| H__ | rockenrola thanks, i'll search for the keyword 'hold' some more later. /me afk food now. bbl | 12:24 |
| rockyrock | Where is the Device Manager in ubuntu 8.04??? | 12:24 |
| alraune | <opt1k:did you use that repair option ? | 12:24 |
| yamitenshi | bitchxuser: easier to use for beginners, I think | 12:24 |
| kane77 | Jemt, hmm.. well change it then.. (compizconfig-settings-manager is the name of the program) | 12:24 |
| opt1k | alraune yes | 12:24 |
| WhyACow | does anyone have a tutorial for shrinking a raid0 using mdadm? | 12:25 |
| yamitenshi | DistroJockey: okay, no problem | 12:25 |

| deathchimp | file; backup in /etc/X11/xorg.conf.20080713072458 | 12:25 |
| DistroJockey | rockyrock, why do you need one? | 12:25 |
| bitchxuser | I was just reading Linux Hater's Blog and it says Ubuntu is the most user-hated distribution, not user-friendly. See for yourself: http://linuxhaters.blogspot.com/2008/07/you-hate-ubuntu.html | 12:25 |
| rockyrock | DistroJockey, to follow the book i'm reading! | 12:26 |
| jussi01 | bitchxuser: thats well offtopic for here | 12:26 |
| DistroJockey | rockyrock, whick book? | 12:26 |
| rockyrock | DistroJockey, is still there is one in Ubuntu 8.04? | 12:26 |
| rockyrock | DistroJockey, Beginning Ubuntu Linux - From Novice To Professional (2006) | 12:27 |
| DistroJockey | rockyrock, a few things have changed. What does it call it? | 12:27 |
| omec | thanks anyway ... i'll keep trying to find a solution, i am to happy with this distro to give up now (even if in mandriva and fedora i did not have this issue) | 12:27 |
| yamitenshi | bitchxuser: and what exactly is that opinion of non-user-friendlyness based on? | 12:27 |
| bitchxuser | yamitenshi user votes on the site | 12:28 |
| rockyrock | DistroJockey, this what the book says "When using Windows, you might have come across Device Manager, the handy tool that lists | 12:28 |
| AnotherNick | where do i put all this ? ./compiz-check | 12:28 |
| yamitenshi | bitchxuser: but it doesn't say why they vote | 12:28 |
| rockyrock | your PC’s hardware. Ubuntu contains a similar piece of software, as shown in Figure 8-1, which | 12:28 |
| rockyrock | you can open by selecting System ➤ Administration ➤ Device Manager." | 12:28 |
| AnotherNick | ./compiz-check | 12:28 |
| se_user | #ubuntu-uk | 12:28 |
| bitchxuser | yamitenshi they hate it so they vote for it; those who hate, say, Gentoo, vote for Gentoo | 12:28 |
| AnotherNick | sudo aptitude purge compiz-quinn-aiglx | 12:28 |
| alraune | <deathchimp:ready now ? | 12:28 |
| opt1k | so alraune any help for me or should i just reinstall ubuntu (which is not an option) | 12:29 |
| deathchimp | alraune> yea | 12:29 |
| bitchxuser | yamitenshi I didn't say "user-unfiendly" I said "user-hated" | 12:29 |
| rockenrola | opt1k: what is the problem? | 12:29 |
| opt1k | reckenrola> everything is choppy since i first booted an hour ago | 12:29 |
| opt1k | including chat messages | 12:29 |
| se_user | join #ubuntu-uk | 12:30 |
| rockenrola | opt1k: did you update something ? | 12:30 |
| Oli`` | se_user: stop advertising | 12:30 |
| alraune | <opt1k:no reinstall, as there was anything happen before; didi you already check the Graficsc./monitor section ? | 12:30 |
| opt1k | alraune no | 12:30 |
| bitchxuser | se_user but I'm not in the uk! | 12:30 |
| yamitenshi | bitchxuser: yeah, but all I'm trying to say is you shouldn't base your opinion on what others say about a distro | 12:30 |
| opt1k | rockenrola> yes yesterday but i cant remember now what it was | 12:30 |
| se_user | sorry i did not mean to advertise i was trying to connect to the uk chanal i am new to irc u see | 12:31 |
| opt1k | brb bathroom | 12:31 |
| DistroJockey | rockyrock, yeah, that sort of disappeared. You can put it back with: sudo apt-get install gnome-device-manager | 12:31 |
| alraune | rockenrola: he had a dirty shutdown, then hints about xserver | 12:31 |
| rockenrola | that reminds me. is there a cronology of ubuntu updates? | 12:31 |
| rockenrola | ok | 12:31 |
| bitchxuser | yamitenshi did you see the site? there was a bowl and everything | 12:31 |
| yamitenshi | bitchxuser: I can imagne some people want to configure more on their system, but then ubuntu is just not their distro, it's as simple as that. But if all you need to configure is the appearance of the system, why not use a distro that comes with easy ways to configure and install everything? | 12:31 |
| harveyd | I have a shell script that runs fine for me | 12:32 |
| rockyrock | DistroJockey, do u have it already in ur Ubuntu?? | 12:32 |
| bitchxuser | yamitenshi I think it's more of a quality problem than tweakability | 12:32 |
| Soul_Sample | m1r: hello from hrvatska ^^ | 12:32 |
| harveyd | going to install it as a cron job, whats the easiest way to test that it will run under cron | 12:32 |
| Oli`` | se_user: sorry! I thought you were telling people to join =( | 12:32 |
| Oli`` | se_user: *=) | 12:32 |
| rockyrock | DistroJockey, or this is one of the changes that happened with 8.04? | 12:32 |
| bazhang | yamitenshi, is this related to ubuntu support? | 12:32 |
| bitchxuser | yamitenshi that's what LH is mostly talking about anyway | 12:32 |
| DistroJockey | rockyrock, do now, just installed it. No menu entry though | 12:32 |
| se_user | oh no need to appolgise it was my fult | 12:33 |
| Milos_SD | Firefox 3 with Flash non-free player 10 is crashing on nvidia.com page... | 12:33 |
| rockenrola | harveyd: make it output to a log file | 12:33 |
| yamitenshi | bitchxuser: I know, but that doesn't relate to why ubuntu is or isn't user-friendly | 12:33 |
| AnotherNick | how do i install compiz? anyone? | 12:33 |
| bitchxuser | bazhang sorry I thought this was a general Ubuntu channel and #ubuntu-support would be elsewhere | 12:33 |
| bazhang | bitchxuser, yamitenshi please take this chat to #ubuntu-offtopic | 12:33 |
| bazhang | np | 12:34 |
| yamitenshi | bazhang: sorry, off-topic indeed | 12:34 |
| DistroJockey | rockyrock, Ahh, found the entry under Applications - System Tools | 12:34 |
| AnotherNick | how do i install compiz? anyone? | 12:34 |
| harveyd | rock, yeh, but I meant is there a way to ./run_as_cron script.sh , I dont want to set up a cron to run in 2 minutes, and wait randomly for it to finish | 12:34 |
| bitchxuser | bazhang #ubuntu is for all things Ubuntu, #ubuntu-support is for support and #ubuntu-offtopic is for everything else, right? | 12:34 |
| AnotherNick | how do i install compiz? anyone? | 12:35 |
| bazhang | bitchxuser, here is support the ot channel is for general chat (ie gentoo etc) | 12:35 |
| yamitenshi | bitchxuser: nope, #ubuntu is for ubuntu support, type /topic and see for yourself | 12:35 |
| bazhang | bitchxuser, ie just the two channels | 12:35 |
| rockenrola | harveyd: don't really understand your problem then | 12:36 |

| rockyrock | DistroJockey, I just want to know why Ubuntu people changes these? | 12:40 |
| bitchxuser | bazhang no thanks; if you called it #ubuntu-misc instead - maybe, but #ubuntu-offtopic just sounds bad. I have to go anyway... | 12:40 |
| ubuntu_ | Is anyone here an expert on fixing grub after reinstalling xp on a dual boot - I want someone to logon to my pc remotely via vnc through my live CD if someone is willing to help me on this please! | 12:40 |
| rockyrock | DistroJockey, yes it shows. It says that it's a communication device | 12:40 |
| DistroJockey | rockyrock, ohh, called moving with the times, something MS doesn't do too well ;) | 12:40 |
| rockyrock | DistroJockey, what does mean if it shows? | 12:41 |
| ubuntu_ | ive tried all the help pages but cant get it to work | 12:41 |
| inik | ubuntu_ -you need to boot from live cd and use fdisk to change boot flag | 12:41 |
| DistroJockey | rockyrock, means you have a decent driver (I think) | 12:41 |
| inik | i can help you easily | 12:41 |

| rockyrock | DistroJockey, what is wvdial? | 12:45 |

| donda | i am getting download speed 100 kbps in firefox .but in update manager i am getting 10 kbps.can any one tell y this is happening | 12:45 |
| DistroJockey | rockyrock, It's most likely what you need | 12:45 |

| bazhang | donda, the security servers are sometimes that slow or even slower | 12:46 |
| rockyrock | DistroJockey, so... | 12:46 |
| unop | donda, the mirror you are using to download might be slower due to load, etc | 12:47 |

| arvind_khadri | Miksago, yup | 12:47 |

| DistroJockey | rockyrock, is a utility that helps in making modem-based connection to Internet that is included in some important Linux distributions. | 12:47 |
| Blinkiz | scorpian: hehe, you right. But it's a ubuntu 8.04 server machine | 12:48 |

| Xavura | Like the cache | 12:48 |
| Miksago | Julouste: a windows 2003 server | 12:49 |
| rockyrock | DistroJockey, so all what i have to do is installing wvdial on my Ubuntu 8.04 and my modem is going to work?? | 12:49 |
| Miksago | Xavura: try ~/firefox/ | 12:49 |
| Miksago | erm, ~/.firefox/ | 12:49 |
| opt1k | alraune: everything is working fine now, thx | 12:49 |
| unop | donda, well, tough question -- usually the mirrors closer to you give the best "speeds" .. but you can try the us or uk mirrors to see if things improve | 12:49 |
| DistroJockey | rockyrock, you will need to configure wvdial a bit | 12:49 |
| opt1k | btw, my awn has no instead of showing icons showing some vertical white lines | 12:49 |
| donda | unop: ok | 12:50 |
| rockyrock | DistroJockey, is there any tutorial that can help me? | 12:50 |
| Xavura | There is no ~/.firefox | 12:50 |
| Miksago | erm, .mozilla then | 12:50 |
| scorpian | Xavura ~/.mozilla/firefox/ | 12:50 |
| DistroJockey | rockyrock, probably, I learnt from the man page | 12:50 |
| Xavura | ah ha | 12:50 |
| Blinkiz | Miksago: I don't think you will be any lucky on this. This feature is not well tested on ubuntu. Next version, 8.10, will have better support for integration with active directory. You can try by installing "likewise-open-gui" to have active directory support | 12:51 |
| * Miksago remembers the last time he used linux; it was 4 years ago | 12:51 | |
| rockyrock | DistroJockey, what is the man page? | 12:51 |

| mahidhar | how 2 get yahoo messenger ?? | 12:51 |
| Miksago | Blinkiz: I've got the likewise-open | 12:51 |
| DistroJockey | rockyrock, man wvdial (after you have installed it ofcourse) | 12:51 |
| arvind_khadri | mahidhar, use pidgin | 12:51 |
| arvind_khadri | !pidgin | mahidhar | 12:51 |

| Miksago | but it says to configure something in nsswitch | 12:51 |
| Blinkiz | Miksago: Well, as I said, ubuntu is not very active directory friendly at the moment | 12:52 |
| DistroJockey | rockyrock, wvdial.conf is a second page that may be helpful (If I recall correctly) | 12:52 |
| Miksago | yeah | 12:52 |
| mahidhar | arvind_khadri, how 2 register in it | 12:52 |
| Miksago | i had that problem two years ago | 12:52 |
| rockyrock | DistroJockey, ahh. so i'll install it and then i'll read the documentation of wvdial | 12:52 |

| arvind_khadri | mahidhar, kopete is a IM default in KDE as pidgin is in GNOME | 12:54 |
| TtyS2 | kopete can be used in gnome with no trouble at all, uses it on ubuntu 8.4 | 12:55 |

| DistroJockey | arvind_khadri, not too sure actually, but I think it was Warty :) | 13:00 |
| Airido | so followed the instructions on https://help.ubuntu.com/community/WifiDocs/Device/Broadcom_BCM4318_%5BAirForce_One_54g%5D | 13:00 |
| Airido | and still it doesn't work | 13:00 |
| Blinkiz | I have found a bug in synaptic package manager gui. What package/project at launchpad should I submit this bug into? | 13:00 |
| arvind_khadri | DistroJockey, ya thats 5.03 :D | 13:00 |
| DistroJockey | arvind_khadri, ahh :) | 13:00 |
| arvind_khadri | DistroJockey, :) | 13:00 |
| Blinkiz | Well, I found it. It was simple "synaptic" | 13:01 |
| Airido | There's a button to activate wireless card on my laptop, but it's not working and the card won't operate | 13:01 |
| === dodger is now known as Karyo | ||
| donda | can any one reply my quwstion | 13:01 |
| arvind_khadri | Airido, did you follow the tutorial properly?? | 13:01 |
| Airido | yes | 13:01 |
| arvind_khadri | Airido, which kernel?? | 13:02 |
| Airido | how do I know that? | 13:02 |
| alraune | airido: uname -a | 13:02 |
| TtyS2 | Airido: do u activate the card as the laptop is turned on, in other words just before the booting it self or after its done booting | 13:02 |
| arvind_khadri | Airido, uname -a | 13:03 |
| meb | can someone explain to a newbie what the dashes do in the command: wget -q http://site.org/file.gpg -O- | sudo apt-key add - | 13:03 |
| arvind_khadri | !tab | Airido | 13:03 |
| ubottu | Airido: You can use <tab> for autocompletion of nicknames in IRC, as well as for completion of filenames and programs on the command line. | 13:03 |
| meb | the one on the end mostly | 13:03 |
| alraune | meb? | 13:03 |
| DistroJockey | meb, see man wget | 13:03 |
| meb | and the one right before the pipe | 13:03 |
| Airido | my kernel 2.6.24-17-generic | 13:03 |
| Airido | arvind_khadri: thanks for the tip :) | 13:04 |
| alraune | meb: adding a pgp-key to ur keyring | 13:04 |
| arvind_khadri | Airido, welcome | 13:04 |
| Airido | TtyS2: after booting | 13:04 |
| meb | the dashes have something to do with standard output/input I was wondering what | 13:04 |
| Airido | TtyS2: should I try it during the booting? | 13:04 |
| DistroJockey | meb, they are options that the command uses | 13:05 |
| arvind_khadri | Airido, the tutorial is a old one i feel it points to 7.10 | 13:05 |
| Airido | arvind_khadri: it says 8.04 | 13:05 |
| donda | can any one tell me please how to sync pocket pc in ubuntu | 13:06 |
| TtyS2 | Airido: sounds like my fujitsu siemens, has to activate it manually, and as soon as possible after turning the laptop on, other wise the software wont find it when booting the ubuntu | 13:06 |
| seyo | #PEKALONGAN | 13:06 |
| Airido | arvind_khadri: ant it uses the new driver b43 | 13:06 |
| DistroJockey | donda, did you google the following and not have any luck?: sync pocket pc in ubuntu | 13:07 |
| Airido | TtyS2: I'll try your tip and be back in a few moments... | 13:07 |

| Vegombrei | hi i need help to configure samba | 13:15 |
| DistroJockey | rockyrock, may need a driver called ltmodem | 13:16 |
| ocka_cari | pankalanbun | 13:16 |
| rockyrock | DistroJockey, aha, so there is problem with recognizing the modem | 13:16 |
| DistroJockey | rockyrock, possibly, yeah | 13:16 |
| rockyrock | DistroJockey, ok thnx i'll search about it now | 13:17 |
| DistroJockey | rockyrock, I did a search with Synaptic for ltmodem and it looks like you need the restricted kernel module for your kernel | 13:18 |
| bindaas | hi | 13:18 |
| adri__ | hello | 13:19 |
| rockyrock | DistroJockey, "restricted kernel module for your kernel". Sorry but i don't know what is this ;) | 13:19 |

| adri__ | some one use zenoss? | 13:19 |
| bindaas | how to reslove this error? | 13:19 |
| DistroJockey | rockyrock, can you use Synaptic to search for ltmodem ? | 13:19 |
| DistroJockey | rockyrock, if you can, you will see what I mean | 13:19 |
| rockyrock | DistroJockey, no i dont have internet connection! I'm on windows now, everytime i reboot to test what i read on Ubuntu!!! it's a disaster | 13:20 |

| ocka_cari | hey | 13:22 |
| ocka_cari | heyyyyyyy | 13:22 |
| rockyrock | DistroJockey, look man i'll continue reading my book about ubuntu and then i'll read the Dialup section in ubuntu.com then i'll come back here | 13:22 |
| rockyrock | DistroJockey, but i'm so frustrated cuz in the page about dialup in ubuntu.com they said that software modem doesn't work on ubuntu! | 13:23 |
| DistroJockey | rockyrock, ok, you do need that winmodem driver though. Good luck | 13:23 |
| ocka_cari | palangkaraya | 13:24 |
| bindaas | what is the syntax error when i am trying export? | 13:24 |
| hateball | Lilli: If you just installed 7.10, you could just as well install 8.04 clean :) | 13:24 |
| chimp | hello, sorry i was just talking to a guy named "alucard"? about a screen resolution problem, is he still here? | 13:25 |
| DistroJockey | hateball, Lilli : better yet 8.04.1 | 13:25 |
| hateball | DistroJockey: Are the ISO's remastered then? | 13:25 |
| x_hunter | hi | 13:25 |
| x_hunter | Hello | 13:25 |
| DistroJockey | hateball, yep | 13:25 |
| hateball | DistroJockey: Alright | 13:26 |
| bindaas | updating is always pain ,its better to install new version,just save your home | 13:26 |
| Lilli | hateball: yes but installing 8.04 didn't work, reason I don't know | 13:27 |
| hateball | Lilli: If a fresh install doesnt work... I personally wouldnt try to upgrade. Have you tried the 8.04.1 remastered ISO like DistroJockey mentioned? | 13:28 |
| DistroJockey | Lilli, I suggest getting the Alternate CD (make sure you md5sum the download and burn at a slow speed) | 13:28 |
| chimp | so, I just followed some advice I got on here and bricked my system, undoubtedly my fault, but i was wondering if anyone could help me get gnome running again? | 13:28 |

| chimp | hateball, i tried to configure my screen resolution on the xorg, failed and now dont have a screen | 13:30 |
| sxjast | Sorry to bother, can someone help in installing flash plugin for my firefox? | 13:30 |
| hateball | chimp: In 8.04? Should be able to just rename /etc/X11/xorg.conf to make it go back to default at least. | 13:31 |
| wols | !flash | 13:31 |
| 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 | 13:31 |
| Lilli | hateball, DistroJockey: OK, I will burn alternate CD of Xubuntu 8.04.1 and try that. If it doesn't work, I will come back. :) Thank you! | 13:31 |
| hateball | Lilli: Good luck | 13:31 |
| DistroJockey | Lilli, good luck. Off to bed for me. | 13:32 |
| DistroJockey | later all :) Have fun! | 13:32 |
| hateball | Cya | 13:32 |
| chimp | hateball, how? | 13:32 |
| hateball | chimp: sudo mv /etc/X11/xorg.conf /etc/xorg.conf.old or whatever name you feel like really :) | 13:33 |
| hateball | chimp: thats /etc/X11 in both cases obviously... | 13:33 |

| hateball | haroskyline: actually, apt-get remove firefox* and then try reinstalling it | 13:46 |

| m1r | wirydust: take files u need from windows drive after u installed | 13:49 |
| IndyGunFreak | wirydust: i'm guessing google will turn up the .inf file you'r elooking for.. or, if you're dual booting, look under Windows for the .inf file.. and copy/paste it to your linux partition | 13:49 |
| haroskyline | hateball: okay, that worked, now where do I replace the icon on top ? | 13:50 |
| psyber | use wine to install the Sri very and search for the INF | 13:50 |
| wirydust | indygunfreak, m1r: ok i shall try it | 13:50 |
| IndyGunFreak | yeah, that would work to, if he has wine. | 13:50 |
| hateball | haroskyline: rightclick, properties and enter the proper commands | 13:50 |
| m1r | wirydust: what revision is your adapter ? | 13:50 |
| haroskyline | hateball: Proper? Um.. | 13:50 |
| RobbingDaHood | I got Ubuntu 8.04 and a "Intel PRO/Wireless 2200BG" I use "networking manager" trying to connect to a WPA-PSK network but are stuck in a endless loop when "Changing interface configuration"... I have tried to google some help without results yet, and still searching... Anyone know a fix? | 13:51 |
| hateball | haroskyline: or delete it, and send a new one from the menu | 13:51 |
| wirydust | m1r: dwl g 122 c1 ver 3.0 | 13:51 |
| charwin | hi everyone | 13:51 |
| m1r | wirydust: i have same, it is working native on 8.04 | 13:51 |
| haroskyline | hateball: Eh.. it's not working from the menu either. You mean the applications menu, correct? | 13:51 |
| wirydust | m1r: what would u suggest me then? | 13:51 |
| hateball | haroskyline: Yep | 13:51 |
| IndyGunFreak | RobbingDaHood: the wpa might be your issue.. just as a test, have you tried turning off your wireless security to see ifyou can connect? | 13:52 |
| hateball | haroskyline: Check which command you use from the commandline, and then replace the command in the shortcuts | 13:52 |
| m1r | wirydust: did u try get it working without ndiswraper * | 13:52 |
| haroskyline | hateball: Do you want the url to the page I got the commands from, so you can see what I did? | 13:52 |
| RobbingDaHood | IndyGunFreak: I don't know how to, I am quite new to ubuntu and Linux... | 13:52 |
| psyber | if there's no Linux driver u must use ndiswrapper | 13:53 |
| hateball | haroskyline: Sure, but you're on the right track now tho ;) | 13:53 |
| IndyGunFreak | RobbingDaHood: that has nothing tod o w/ Ubuntu or Linux, it has to do w/ the model router you have, logging into it, and turning off wireless security, | 13:53 |
| IndyGunFreak | RobbingDaHood: you won't want ot leave it like that, but i'm guessing wpa is your issue.. | 13:53 |
| ubuntu | does anyone know how to make grub only see my current kernel images at boot then having it see everyone thats installed? | 13:53 |
| IndyGunFreak | most of them work well w/ WEP | 13:53 |
| haroskyline | I followed the instructions on this page. | 13:53 |
| haroskyline | hateball: http://www.debianadmin.com/install-firefox2-in-ubuntu-and-list-of-recomended-addons.html | 13:54 |
| wirydust | mir: no i did not, should i simply plug in and try | 13:54 |
| IndyGunFreak | ubuntu: gksudo gedit /boot/grub/menu.lst and put a # sign in front of the kernel lines you don't want in your grub list | 13:54 |
| m1r | wirydust: yes | 13:54 |
| RobbingDaHood | IndyGunFreak: Ahhh... I am not able right now to turn security off, sry | 13:54 |
| ubuntu | IndyGunFreak ks | 13:54 |
| IndyGunFreak | RobbingDaHood: understood.. | 13:54 |
| GL-san | anyways | 13:54 |
| GL-san | anyone is got a bit of time? | 13:54 |
| ubuntu | IndyGunFreak thanks* | 13:54 |
| GL-san | i got a few question | 13:55 |
| wirydust | m1r: from where should i configure ssid etc. now, any gui available ? | 13:55 |
| IndyGunFreak | ubuntu: each kernel will have 2-3 lines, you only need to put the # sign in front fo the "title" line | 13:55 |
| RobbingDaHood | IndyGunFreak: But have tried to connect to other no-security networks without a problem | 13:55 |
| m1r | wirydust: in network manager, top right corner | 13:55 |
| IndyGunFreak | RobbingDaHood: then that confirms what i believe the problem is. | 13:55 |
| IndyGunFreak | its a wpa issue. | 13:55 |
| hateball | haroskyline: That link is a bit dated :p However it seems the problem is that the /usr/bin/firefox points to /opt/firefox etc. So... remove /usr/bin/firefox and --reinstall. Should do the trick... I think | 13:56 |
| pinoccio | i can't switch to console mode in hardy, i get a black screen, can someone help ???? | 13:56 |
| ubuntu | IndyGunFreak ok | 13:56 |
| haroskyline | hateball: Yeah, I'll learn from my mistake next time. Haha, why did firefox 3 have to be so crappy.. :[ | 13:56 |
| wirydust | thanks m1r: i can see my ssid signal there | 13:56 |
| hateball | haroskyline: Hardy has Firefox2 in the repos as well, so you can just apt-get it | 13:56 |
| pinoccio | i can't switch to console mode in hardy, i get a black screen, can someone help ???? | 13:57 |
| wirydust | m1r: i should try to connect wirelessly now :) | 13:57 |
| ronin12345 | Any reason why dvd playback would be really juddery? | 13:57 |
| m1r | wirydust: good, if u feel that your conection is slower then on windows, then try with ndiswrapper | 13:57 |
| pinoccio | i can't switch to console mode in hardy, i get a black screen, can someone help ???? | 13:57 |
| hateball | haroskyline: Did you run the final release version? Beta was a bit crap I thought as well, but 3.0 is nice... | 13:57 |
| IndyGunFreak | !patience | pinoccio | 13:57 |
| ubottu | pinoccio: The people here are volunteers, your attitude should reflect that. Answers are not always available. See http://wiki.ubuntu.com/IrcGuidelines | 13:57 |
| rokra | Hi | 13:57 |
| RobbingDaHood | IndyGunFreak: Okay... but i have checked http://hostap.epitest.fi/wpa_supplicant/ and think my card is WPA supported, but I am not sure I find that site a litle confusing :( | 13:57 |
| IndyGunFreak | ronin12345: i used to have that problem a lot in Edgy and Feisty, not since then.. | 13:57 |
| haroskyline | hateball: Firefox isn't in /bin/ | 13:58 |
| rokra | Nobody plays Counter strike source on ubunutu? | 13:58 |
| hateball | haroskyline: should be in /usr/bin tho | 13:58 |
| === irid is now known as Airido | ||
| IndyGunFreak | RobbingDaHood: i really don't know anything wpa supplicant.. but It would appear wpa is your issue, so you'll need to seek out further helpw/ wpa supplicant.. or switch your wireless settings to WEP | 13:58 |
| Zeeon | If i use the "deafult" option in fstab the drive will be automounted on boot up but i need root access to unmount ? as auto and nouser is default options? | 13:58 |
| hateball | haroskyline: or you can do a: find / |grep firefox and clear out any traces. Then do a reinstall of it | 13:59 |
| haroskyline | OH | 13:59 |
| Airido | my headphones jack words randomly after each boot. How can I fix that? | 13:59 |
| haroskyline | hateball: I found it in File System> OPT | 13:59 |
| haroskyline | hateball: When I went to delete it, it said I don't have the permissions to. | 13:59 |
| GL-san | IndyGunFreak, i got my wireless to work with fwcutter, but then, after a while, it just stops working, disabling it and re-enabling it does nothing | 13:59 |
| RobbingDaHood | IndyGunFreak: hmm... I am not able to switch the security either... but where can I get more help? I will try to write on the forum, but is there other options for me? | 14:00 |
| hateball | haroskyline: Yep, thats where it installed... but according to the link you made a symlink in /usr/bin/ as well. As for removing, you'll have to sudo | 14:00 |
| IndyGunFreak | RobbingDaHood: the forum would be a good start.. | 14:00 |
| hateball | haroskyline: Just as you had to when installing | 14:00 |
| haroskyline | I think the /bin/ one is gone, from the commands you had me do earlier, to un-install | 14:00 |
| xs142 | Hi there, can someone help me? The ubuntu Update Manager shows me updates but when I try to install them it goes "W: Failed to fetch [Long Link] 404 Not Found.. What should I do? | 14:01 |
| shafire | hey | 14:01 |
| shafire | which ftp client do you prefer? | 14:01 |
| haroskyline | hateball: I think the /bin/ one is gone, from the commands you had me do earlier, to un-install | 14:01 |
| GL-san | xs142, have you got inet? | 14:01 |
| xs142 | GL-san: No idea | 14:01 |
| xs142 | GL-san: You mean internet? :P It's this computer.. | 14:02 |
| hateball | haroskyline: wipe out the /opt/firefox then and reinstall from repository. No reason it shouldnt work at least from commandline then | 14:02 |
| GL-san | then you've a problem with your sources | 14:02 |
| lazertek_ | anyone know how to enable the smilies in xchat? | 14:02 |
| xs142 | I haven't touched them :( | 14:02 |
| Flynsarmy | Is there a way to get nautilus to send keepalives when on sftp URL's? | 14:02 |
| lazertek_ | can't find the option in ubuntu | 14:02 |
| xs142 | GL-san: How do I fix it? | 14:02 |
| shafire | which ftp client do you prefer? | 14:02 |
| haroskyline | hateball: How do I un-install it from command line? | 14:02 |
| haroskyline | hateball: Sorry, I've only used ubuntu and linux for a few hours. | 14:03 |
| GL-san | administration > software sources | 14:03 |
| GL-san | make sure it points to the correct repositories | 14:03 |
| ocka_cari | indonesia | 14:03 |
| hateball | haroskyline: Nothing to be sorry about. Some people use Windows a lifetime and never say sorry.... Anyhow, rm -rf /opt/firefox or wherever it was located should do the trick | 14:04 |
| xs142 | GL-san: How do I know? | 14:04 |
| idorock89 | wht do you wanna knw? | 14:04 |
| GL-san | he's having 404 when using the update manager in ubuntu | 14:04 |
| haroskyline | hateball: I've seen the rm command before, doesn't it like, destroy everything? | 14:04 |
| GL-san | yup | 14:05 |
| GL-san | it does | 14:05 |
| lazertek_ | hateball: right about that... everytime someone sees my customized ubuntu they regret using windows | 14:05 |
| hateball | haroskyline: Yes, it removes stuff | 14:05 |
| mpih | Anybody know who to talk to about technical issues with Planet Ubuntu? Who's maintaining it? | 14:05 |
| haroskyline | hateball: It worked, it's gone. | 14:05 |
| harveyd | ok, having a nightmare getting a cron job running | 14:05 |
| haroskyline | hateball: So now.. | 14:05 |
| Zeeon | when adding ntfs drives rw to fstab should i use ntfs-3g or plain ntfs as filesystem? | 14:05 |
| hateball | haroskyline: Also, you dont really need to remove the /opt/firefox/, just not use it. | 14:05 |
| xs142 | Ahh switching from Sweden to Main seems to have sortedd it | 14:05 |
| xs142 | Thanks :) | 14:05 |
| xxploit | ntfs-3g | 14:06 |
| harveyd | Sun Jul 13 13:05:44 UTC 2008 is what I get from date | 14:06 |
| Zeeon | thanks... | 14:06 |
| lazertek_ | hey anybody know to enable smilies in xchat? | 14:06 |
| hateball | haroskyline: Can you run firefox from commandline now? If not... sudo apt-get install firefox-2 or firefox-3 depending which you want | 14:06 |
| fent | is there a way to check the ubuntu firewall? | 14:06 |
| harveyd | 5 13 * * * /script.sh > /cron.log was in my cron file | 14:06 |
| haroskyline | hateball: Hmm... nope. | 14:06 |
| nogagplz | I don't think it has a firewall by default? | 14:06 |
| Shujah_ | fent, you'll have to install one | 14:06 |
| harveyd | and it never ran at 5 past | 14:07 |
| fent | oh.. | 14:07 |
| fent | interesting | 14:07 |
| Soul_Sample | is there a version of finch that works with the new libpurple installed with the newest pidgin? | 14:07 |
| sxjast | Can someone help me out in installing flash on AMD 64, gutsy ? | 14:07 |
| Flynsarmy | Is there a way to get nautilus to send keepalives? | 14:07 |
| haroskyline | hateball: Invalid operation "firefox-2" | 14:07 |
| harveyd | the script runs fine, path is fine | 14:07 |
| hateball | haroskyline: make sure you type: sudo apt-get install firefox-2 | 14:07 |
| harveyd | just never actually runs | 14:07 |
| GL-san | anyways | 14:07 |
| haroskyline | Oh, thanks. | 14:07 |
| GL-san | back to my question | 14:08 |
| Airido | my headphones jack words randomly after each boot. How can I fix that? | 14:08 |
| GL-san | i'm having some wireless problems in 8.04 amd64 | 14:08 |
| sxjast | Can someone help me out in installing flash on AMD 64, gutsy ? | 14:08 |
| haroskyline | hateball: Okay, that worked. Now, Add/Remove programs said firefox was still installed when it wasn't, is that potentially bad? | 14:08 |
| GL-san | i got the wireless to work off a clean install yesterday using ffwcutter | 14:08 |
| GL-san | but then, this morning, it wont work anymore | 14:09 |
| rockenrola | sxjast: install ubuntu-restrited-extras | 14:09 |
| hateball | haroskyline: Nah... Well I dont know for sure, I dont use Add/Remove ;) | 14:09 |
| haroskyline | hateball: It worked! | 14:09 |
| lazertek_ | GL-san: is it showing any access points | 14:09 |
| GL-san | yes | 14:09 |
| GL-san | it shows the access points, and connects to them | 14:09 |
| hateball | haroskyline: Good ;) | 14:09 |
| haroskyline | hateball: Sweet, thanks a bunch. I admire how you guys help, I wouldn't mind mastering linux just to do that. | 14:09 |
| GL-san | but i've no connection to the internet | 14:09 |
| GL-san | everything fails and says unknown host | 14:10 |
| hateball | haroskyline: My pleasure :) | 14:10 |
| GL-san | yesterday i was on it fine, but today it wont work anymore | 14:10 |
| GL-san | restarting the pc didn't seem to help either | 14:10 |
| Eftarjin | hi, is there something special to do to install ubuntu on a USB key ? grub fails to install, and i have no /target/boot/grub/menu.lst after that | 14:10 |
| GL-san | so i removed the accesss points and restarted the networking | 14:10 |
| GL-san | still nothing | 14:10 |
| haroskyline | fireball: Now, one last question, could I have both 2 and 3 installed? | 14:11 |
| PmDematagoda | GL-san: can you post the outputs of cat /etc/hosts and cat /etc/host.conf | 14:11 |
| lazertek_ | GL-san: what wireless card do you have? | 14:11 |
| GL-san | wrt54gs | 14:11 |
| Theo_ | how do i mount an hfs drive on my ibook? (using xubuntu 6.06) | 14:11 |
| GL-san | sadly i'm back to winblows atm | 14:11 |
| yvdzhi | mlm | 14:12 |
| GL-san | i'm doing dual boot on this pc with the hopes of eventually saying bye to windows | 14:12 |
| GL-san | but i'm having a bit of trouble with the wireless | 14:12 |
| Shujah_ | Theo_, synaptic search for hfs | 14:12 |
| idorock89 | hiiiiiiii | 14:12 |
| PmDematagoda | GL-san: you can access your Windows drive through Ubuntu? | 14:12 |
| GL-san | yes | 14:12 |
| Theo_ | i did | 14:12 |
| GL-san | i've no problem accessing drives | 14:12 |
| Theo_ | i got some hfs tools | 14:12 |
| GL-san | or installing anything | 14:12 |
| GL-san | it is just the wireless | 14:12 |
| GL-san | oh yeah, and the nxclient | 14:12 |
| esminis | hi | 14:13 |
| PmDematagoda | GL-san: then try cat /etc/hosts > /path/to/windows/somefile.txt the same applies for the other command | 14:13 |
| PmDematagoda | GL-san: except that you specify a difference file name | 14:13 |
| GL-san | also | 14:14 |
| GL-san | i was trying to install nxclient | 14:14 |
| GL-san | but the only built i could find was i386 | 14:14 |
| GL-san | i installed hardy amd64 | 14:14 |
| lazertek_ | GL-san: reinstall it and it should do the trick! and you'll happily back to the mighty ubuntu | 14:14 |
| Flynsarmy | Not getting any sound when receiving messages in Emesene. Sounds plugin is enabled and sounsd are working in all other apps. any ideas? | 14:15 |
| GL-san | well | 14:15 |
| Shujah_ | Theo_, this might help > https://lists.ubuntu.com/archives/ubuntu-users/2005-January/019105.html | 14:15 |
| GL-san | i tried reinstalling | 14:15 |
| Theo_ | when i do "sudo mount /dev/hda2 /media/hda2" it says "/media/hda2 does not exist" what am i doing wrong? | 14:15 |
| PmDematagoda | GL-san: are you sure that there isnt a X64 version? | 14:15 |
| hateball | Theo_: Does that folder exist? | 14:15 |
| Theo_ | no | 14:15 |
| GL-san | i googled and found that people got nxclient working by forcing install of the i386 | 14:15 |
| GL-san | there is not PmDematagoda | 14:15 |
| Theo_ | so i should make it, hateball? | 14:15 |
| hateball | Theo_: Then that's the problem. A mountpoint needs to exist | 14:15 |
| GL-san | i've googled it to the end of the world | 14:15 |
| Ward1983 | hateball or unop, can i do this from a windows machine aswell? | 14:15 |
| GL-san | there's plenty of how-to for forcing install of the i386 | 14:16 |
| GL-san | but no amd64 client | 14:16 |
| hateball | Ward1983: Do what? | 14:16 |
| PmDematagoda | GL-san: there is a deb file? | 14:16 |
| Ward1983 | hateball or unop, copying over ssh | 14:16 |
| Ward1983 | hateball or unop,but the GUI way | 14:16 |
| Theo_ | thanks | 14:16 |
| GL-san | yes | 14:16 |
| hateball | Ward1983: Yeah, use WinSCP | 14:16 |
| GL-san | the i386.deb | 14:16 |
| Ward1983 | thanx :) at work they got win | 14:16 |
| GL-san | which is what i forced to install | 14:16 |
| GL-san | it installed fine | 14:16 |
| Ward1983 | thanx hateball at work they got win | 14:16 |
| GL-san | all files are present | 14:16 |
| haroskyline | Ehh, I got firefox installed correctly, but now how do I set it up as the default browser? | 14:16 |
| GL-san | but it fails to start | 14:16 |
| PmDematagoda | GL-san: then you should be able to install it with dpkg -i --force-architecture name-of-deb.deb | 14:17 |
| PmDematagoda | GL-san: you already installed it? | 14:17 |
| GL-san | yes | 14:17 |
| Shujah_ | haroskyline, firefox is the default browser in 8.04 | 14:17 |
| GL-san | like i said | 14:17 |
| GL-san | i used the force-architecture | 14:17 |
| GL-san | but it wont start | 14:17 |
| GL-san | all dependencies are met too | 14:17 |
| PmDematagoda | GL-san: did you try running it through the terminal? if so, does it turn up any errors? | 14:17 |
| harveyd | ok, I just added * * * * * echo "Hello" > /home/user/test.log to my crontab (crontab -e) | 14:17 |
| harveyd | and not getting any output | 14:17 |
| haroskyline | Shujah_: Yeah, but I just replaced it with firefox 2. | 14:17 |
| GL-san | says file/folder doesn't exit | 14:17 |
| lazertek_ | talking about winscp reminds me of a question i had since a couple months but completely forgot | 14:17 |
| GL-san | however | 14:17 |
| GL-san | it is there | 14:17 |
| harveyd | any ideas? | 14:17 |
| GL-san | i can browse to it fine | 14:17 |
| Shujah_ | haroskyline, go to menu>system>preferences>preffered applications and change browser | 14:18 |
| hateball | haroskyline: System - Settings - Prefered applications | 14:18 |
| PmDematagoda | GL-san: that's pretty weird | 14:18 |
| haroskyline | Thanks, both of you. :] | 14:18 |
| idorock89 | haha | 14:18 |
| GL-san | that's what i said | 14:18 |
| Shujah_ | that was a crooked smile :P | 14:18 |
| lazertek_ | how do i setup ssh on a computer so that i can connect through it by ssh from the internet that doesn't have a fixed ip? | 14:18 |
| rockenrola | harveyd: see if the cron service is running | 14:18 |
| harveyd | it is | 14:18 |
| harveyd | at least I can see it in top | 14:19 |
| haroskyline | Can I have firefox 2 and 3? | 14:19 |
| GL-san | i got everything but those 2 things to work correctly | 14:19 |
| harveyd | 2086 root 15 0 18608 552 412 S 0 0.2 0:00.02 cron | 14:19 |
| GL-san | actually i got the wireless workign, for a few hours | 14:19 |
| hateball | haroskyline: Yeah... but it's a bitch | 14:19 |
| haroskyline | hateball: Haha, okay.. Hmm. | 14:19 |
| haroskyline | Hateball: Thanks for your help, big time. | 14:19 |
| hateball | haroskyline: Well no, but requires some setting up to use different profiles | 14:19 |
| Theo_ | Thanks for the help! I managed to mount my hfsplus partition! | 14:19 |
| GL-san | i got my ntfs drives working fine too | 14:20 |
| stanis_sh | still can't get the sound working :( | 14:20 |
| Shujah_ | stanis_sh, tried alsa? | 14:20 |
| GL-san | anyways, lemme go fetch the host.conf and host | 14:21 |
| GL-san | brb | 14:21 |
| stanis_sh | Shujah_ - yes | 14:21 |
| Lynet | Ok, who packaged ff3 for hardy? I have set *every* file format to always ask but it still insists on opening .mp4 videos in an embedded window instead of asking if i want to download. | 14:21 |
| PmDematagoda | GL-san: ok | 14:21 |
| plouffe | Is there an application to detect and list available wifi networks in Ubuntu? | 14:21 |
| stanis_sh | asoundconf shows the settings of the correct chip but I can't hear a sound | 14:21 |
| lazertek_ | hmmm... seems only windows xchat can get smilies... :( | 14:21 |
| Shujah_ | stanis_sh, realtek? | 14:21 |
| hateball | plouffe: NetworkManager | 14:21 |
| tof | plouffe try wicd | 14:21 |
| stanis_sh | Shujah_ - sigmatel | 14:21 |
| plouffe | hateball are you talking about system>administration>Netowrk (in hardy) ? | 14:22 |
| === adam is now known as Guest63559 | ||
| plouffe | tof thanks I will look :) | 14:22 |
| hateball | plouffe: No, you should have an icon in the tray. Networkmanager-gnome | 14:22 |
| Shujah_ | stanis_sh, try some of the suggestions in this page >http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?p=4928900 | 14:22 |

| Shujah_ | Lynet, though its not a real solution you can link .mp4 to d4x | 14:24 |
| plouffe | hateball , it shows the card and all in network manager. | 14:24 |

| plouffe | Atheros, took me a long time to install it | 14:24 |
| plouffe | AR242x | 14:25 |
| lazertek_ | plouffe: i have atheros and if follow the how-to's its pretty quick... | 14:25 |
| hateball | plouffe: Well you could try wicd like tof suggested. I havent had much luck with anything else than Intel and Realtek cards... | 14:25 |
| lazertek_ | hateball: which broadcom card? | 14:25 |
| plouffe | just noticed I don't have wicd in Synaptic | 14:26 |
| lazertek_ | plouffe: which broadcom card? | 14:26 |
| plouffe | lazertek_: I have an Atheros card | 14:26 |
| lazertek_ | plouffe: which one? madwifi works well for atheros | 14:26 |
| tof | plouffe you need add source of wicd search on google | 14:27 |
| toresn | how can i achieve wireless tv-out in ubuntu? | 14:27 |
| IndyGunFreak | wicd is the repos if i recall. | 14:27 |
| stanis_sh | Shujah_: I have no /etc/asound.conf :( | 14:27 |
| plouffe | lazertek_: AR242x, as I said the card shwos up in network manager, so I am guessing it is installed right | 14:27 |
| IndyGunFreak | plouffe: i can already tell you, no its not. | 14:27 |
| tof | plouffe : http://wicd.sourceforge.net/download.php | 14:27 |
| IndyGunFreak | i have that device. | 14:27 |
| toresn | how can i achieve wireless tv-out in ubuntu? what extra devices to i need (that is supported by ubuntu)? | 14:28 |
| lazertek_ | plouffe: not necesarrily... can you see any accespoints? | 14:28 |
| plouffe | thanks tof | 14:28 |
| alraune | stanis_sh:apt-get install alsaconf | 14:28 |
| lazertek_ | plouffe: i have th same one and works perferct with madwifi | 14:28 |

| alraune | stanis_sh:apt-get install alsamixer, sry | 14:28 |
| plouffe | lazertek_: access points as in wifi networks? | 14:28 |
| Ward1983 | toresn, just buy a device that can convert svideo or composite to radio signals, they come in pairs, transmitter and receiver | 14:28 |
| lazertek_ | plouffe: yes... and let give a link real quick which will make ur wireless card work like a charm | 14:29 |
| Ward1983 | toresn, those things support everything that generates a proper composite of svideo, etc signal | 14:29 |
| plouffe | lazertek_: thanks | 14:29 |

| plouffe | tof thanks , bye :) | 14:29 |
| K^Holtz | IndyGunFreak: no, its set to Human | 14:29 |
| IndyGunFreak | plouffe: the problem is, that device is not actualy an AR242x it gets misdetected by the ubuntu kernel | 14:29 |
| Ward1983 | toresn, should you not have a tv out yet you could consider buying a cheap scan converter to convert vga to tv-out | 14:30 |
| plouffe | IndyGunFreak: so what do I need to do? | 14:30 |
| IndyGunFreak | plouffe: what model laptop is that? | 14:30 |

| PmDematagoda | GL-san: whoa | 15:05 |
| Soul_Sample | Jack_Sparrow: well, i installed that yesterday, and i changed the panels earlier today, i'm sure of that. i somehow don't see the two connected | 15:05 |
| PmDematagoda | GL-san: hold up | 15:05 |
| harveyd | hmm, I dont even have .local | 15:05 |
| GL-san | btw, last part of the pastebin was the other problem i was talking about | 15:06 |
| Jack_Sparrow | Soul_Sample you can reset panels to default. | 15:06 |
| GL-san | with the nx client | 15:06 |
| harveyd | its a server install, not a desktop, guess its lost | 15:06 |
| Soul_Sample | Jack_Sparrow: how? | 15:06 |
| Jack_Sparrow | !resetpanels | 15:06 |
| ubottu | To reset the panel to defaults, type this in a !terminal: « gconftool --recursive-unset /apps/panel && killall gnome-panel » | 15:06 |
| PmDematagoda | GL-san: hmm, ok, just post the hostname command, I want to make sure | 15:06 |
| GL-san | ok | 15:07 |

| Soul_Sample | Jack_Sparrow: well, no :S it was only a transmission.deb file and it didn't say that it'll change any dependencies and\or other files | 15:10 |

| gpd | My laptop has a weird acpi issue - when on it freezes until you move the mouse or press a key then starts again fine. acpi off is not ideal - where should i look? blacklist options? newer kernels? bios options? | 15:12 |
| Soul_Sample | Jack_Sparrow: yes, as i've said, my sytem worked fine after that, and i know that because i was playing with a custom made panel background today... the panels worked after upgrading transmission. i really didn't touch anything and that is perhaps the main reason why i'm clueless why it won't load the conf file... and it's where it should be, i checked | 15:12 |

| gpd | It is a samsung R20 and works fine otherwise. freeze symptom is during normal operation - running top, don't touch anything and it will freeze, touch the mouse or a key and all returns. with acpi=off this goes away. | 15:14 |

| haroskyline | Hello, everyone. I was wondering if someone could explain how to fully install something? | 15:25 |
| bazhang | haroskyline, install what | 15:26 |
| mytruehero | Jack_Sparrow: The command is "reboot" | 15:26 |
| Jack_Sparrow | mytruehero as an example sudo apt-get install pastebinit && sudo fdisk -l > ~/Desktop/Partition_Layout.txt && lsb_release -a >> ~/Desktop/Partition_Layout.txt && cat /home/$USER/Desktop/Partition_Layout.txt | pastebinit (Provide Pastebin link in channel) | 15:26 |
| haroskyline | bazhang: Second-Life, so it shows up in my applications, etc. | 15:26 |
| bazhang | haroskyline, read the installer instructions from secondlife should be a binary file | 15:26 |
| haroskyline | bazhang: Is bin short for binary? | 15:27 |
| hateball | haroskyline: Also not all installers create launchers for you | 15:27 |
| Shujah_ | haroskyline, you can add it manually in menu - and use check install if you are compiling it | 15:27 |
| bazhang | haroskyline, yes | 15:27 |
| grep-wock | oh... hai! | 15:27 |
| Jack_Sparrow | mytruehero as an example sudo reboot > ~/Desktop/Reboot-info.txt might work | 15:27 |
| mytruehero | My problem is that I'm trying to create a cron job to reboot my machine but it's not working. I thought that if I could capture the output of the command when cron runs it that I might be able to figure out what's going on (or not going on) | 15:27 |

| WIGGMPk | ActionParsnip: im not sure I follow you, when you say "both" what are you referring to? LAN & WAN? | 16:14 |

| GL-san | ActionParsnip, are you familiar with force installing packets for diff architectures? | 16:44 |
| GL-san | >.> | 16:44 |
| suselin | !fsck | steveny | 16:44 |
| ubottu | steveny: fsck is the FileSystem ChecKer, which runs automatically when you boot if you didn't shutdown cleanly. Type "man fsck" for information on running it manually. The command "sudo shutdown -F -r now" will force a reboot and a filesystem check; "sudo touch /fastboot" will skip a filesystem check at next reboot | 16:44 |
| steveny | ok...after the fschk http://pastebin.com/d34605e | 16:45 |
| ActionParsnip | GL-san: do you mean installing i386 on amd64 (for example) | 16:45 |
| GL-san | yes | 16:45 |
| geonerd | e.net | 16:45 |
| GL-san | that's exactly what i mean | 16:45 |
| djhash | RobbingDaHood: its hard to trouble shoot you without actually being able to look into some files for errors.. can you get internet connection on the other computer? or mount a usb drive and copy the info to it so you can pastebin it on this computer?! | 16:46 |
| ActionParsnip | GL-san: i dont think you can man, no idea, sorry | 16:46 |
| GL-san | i've a lil problem here, i tried installing nxclient i386 on hardy amd64 | 16:46 |
| IntangibleLiquid | I would like to ask for you advice on Edubuntu thin client network. I intend to setup a public training center using edubuntu for disadvantaged children. But people are unfamiliar with Linux, cannot speak or read english, so human resources are quite hard to takle | 16:46 |
| steveny | before it was plug and play with 7.-- now with 8.04 it is plug and charge :( | 16:46 |

| Akazawa | I need some help. I try to do apt-get install flashplugin-nonfree in the powerpc version of hardy and I get E: Package flashplugin-nonfree has no installation candidate | 16:48 |
| ActionParsnip | Akazawa: you need to enable restricted repos and run sudo apt-get update | 16:48 |
| WalloO | Akazawa, maybe this plugin do not exist for PPC.... | 16:48 |
| td123 | Akazawa: that's because i386 binaries aren't ppc compatible.. | 16:49 |

| sdakak | ActionParsnip: hateball: Is there any virtualisation solution that allows me to do that? | 17:19 |
| steveny | clean install | 17:19 |
| suselin | DC, i have always used the package from their site | 17:19 |
| max_ | Ugh, I just installed the required modules for Virtualbox, now my computer is completely messed up. | 17:19 |
| hateball | sdakak: Not at the moment no sdakak | 17:19 |
| Guest39599 | thanks djhash and ubottu | 17:20 |
| tauscher | ActionParsnip: sounds stupid, but maybe it'll be better if I do a reboot and then check again | 17:20 |
| hateball | sdakak: But you can try Wine | 17:20 |
| DC | Suselin - I got it from the TC site but it would not install | 17:20 |
| max_ | The sound isn't working, the screen resolution is around half what it was before, the graphics driver is basically not here anymore. | 17:20 |
| sdakak | hateball: ActionParsnip: Do you know whether cedega has better directx support than wine? | 17:20 |
| lazertek_ | sdakak: i found out yesterday on osx virtualization allows that... im curious why not linux | 17:20 |
| bullgard4 | What filename emerges from the compilation of the file ../gnome-panel-2.22.2/applets/clock/clock.c? | 17:20 |

| isor | steveny, does it showup in the /mnt folder | 17:20 |
| ActionParsnip | sdakak: indeed | 17:20 |

| steveny | media has my external 200gb hd, mnt is empty | 17:21 |
| djhash | RobbingDaHood: this might be a silly question.. but are you sure you are within range of the wireless router? | 17:21 |
| max_ | Okay, this is seriously messed up. My graphics driver isn't supported in the hardware driver manager anymore, and my sound isn't working at all. This is competeley messed up. | 17:21 |

| Pinas | and where do i get the md5 checksum of the correct ubuntu image | 17:22 |
| Pinas | there is nothing on the download page (ubuntuusers.de) | 17:22 |
| ActionParsnip | Pinas: you download the md5sum for the iso you downloaded as well | 17:22 |
| ActionParsnip | !md5sum | Pinas | 17:22 |
| ubottu | Pinas: To verify the integrity of a download, use the md5sum - see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/HowToMD5SUM for more | 17:22 |
| sdakak | ActionParsnip: Can you please give me a run down on them? I am trying to get pretty high requirements RC plane simulators running in linux. One is calle RealFlight G4, other is Hanger FSone | 17:22 |

| bastid_raZor | Mobilefrogge; ctrl+f7 | 17:33 |
| lazertek_ | or that | 17:34 |
| bastid_raZor | !envyng | 17:34 |
| ubottu | envyng is an updated version of the *UNSUPPORTED* envy package. It is now part of the ubuntu universe repository (envyng-gtk OR envyng-qt) and has community support. As an early version, its results may vary but this should be used over the unsupported envy package. | 17:34 |
| Mobilefrogge | that didnt work | 17:34 |
| raavi | ATI drivers doesn't work with RAM above then 3GB | 17:34 |

| Mobilefrogge | i have no idea what apt get is, and i cant find the damn device manager | 17:36 |
| Mobilefrogge | or hardware info | 17:36 |
| raavi | lazertek_: Alternatively someone told to tweak /proc/mtrr | 17:36 |
| lazertek_ | raavi: im sure there are work arounds tho | 17:36 |
| lazertek_ | raavi: there you go | 17:36 |
| MasterShrek | ActionParsnip, in a minute while i boot it up | 17:36 |

| RobbingDaHood | yes... It is the one I use on my windows com.... But the ssid is with the letter "æ" is that a problem? | 17:36 |
| raavi | lazertek_: I want to find out whether it is ubuntu's problem or ATI's | 17:36 |
| RobbingDaHood | djhash: yes... It is the one I use on my windows com.... But the ssid is with the letter "æ" is that a problem? | 17:37 |
| lazertek_ | raavi: more like ati driver support | 17:37 |
| lazertek_ | raavi: ati is reposible for the drivers not ubuntu | 17:37 |
| Mobilefrogge | is there like a user guide for complete newbies to linux? | 17:37 |
| amenado | Mobilefrogge-> you can get a book on linux | 17:37 |
| djhash | RobbingDaHood: maybe.. cause this line "Authentication with 00:00:00:00:00:00 timed out." shows that its trying to connect to a nothing!!! | 17:37 |
| lazertek_ | Mobilefrogge: yes a lot... | 17:37 |
| lazertek_ | Mobilefrogge: linux bible is one of them | 17:37 |
| Mobilefrogge | can yo suggest one? | 17:37 |

| RobbingDaHood | djhash: what do you mean by that? | 17:38 |
| Mobilefrogge | i just need the basics, like what is apt get | 17:38 |
| erkan_ | how are you today | 17:38 |

| amenado | Mobilefrogge-> mark sobel new book on ubuntu..dont know exact title though | 17:38 |

| Mobilefrogge | suselin, o | 17:38 |
| lazertek_ | raavi: that doesn't mean its ubuntu... it just means that ubuntu support found a workaround themselves | 17:38 |
| Mobilefrogge | suselin, i'd prefer ubuntu specific info | 17:38 |
| suselin | Mobilefrogge, it has some courses with the basics | 17:39 |
| lazertek_ | Mobilefrogge: most linux are the same its only minor differences | 17:39 |
| isor | Cola_Pesce, k maybe try putting the cd of kubuntu in while in windows or if you plan to wubi a diff ubuntu it should uninstall the kubuntu | 17:39 |
| raavi | lazertek_: Anyway, I will wait for the next driver release..to see whether they will fix this. | 17:39 |
| Flaim | Hey, I have a logitech webcam and it's coming up very dark, like the gain is super low.. anyone know how to fix that? | 17:39 |
| suselin | Mobilefrogge, buy the book | 17:39 |
| djhash | RobbingDaHood: no device has a mac address of zeros.. so when its trying to authenticate with a mac address of zeros.. it could mean that it does not find the router.. so maybe the "ssid" is confusing ubuntu in someway or other.. | 17:39 |
| Mobilefrogge | the mark sobel book? | 17:39 |

| Syberjj | bubulle - why not? | 17:45 |
| Cola_Pesce | and this will uninstall kubuntu? | 17:45 |

| DC | What else to people use for full disk encryption? | 17:45 |
| Bubulle | Please, how do I cancel print job from other users? | 17:45 |
| Mobilefrogge | nickrud, and i should use adept manager to get a better one? | 17:45 |
| Ashfire908 | Is there a ubuntu data resotre program? i think it only deleted stuff. | 17:45 |
| __yy | DC: it's pretty much truecrypt all the way for disk encryption in linux | 17:45 |
| nickrud | Bubulle point your web browser at localhost:631 , you can get complete control over all people's print jobs there | 17:45 |
| amenado | Bubulle-> which protocol does your printer uses? | 17:45 |
| nickrud | Mobilefrogge yes, use plain old xchat | 17:46 |
| DC | __yy I guess I'll just use the source instead of depending on the packages | 17:46 |
| isor | Cola_Pesce, my experience is that no matter which version or distro wubi will only allow 1 wubi install so it will uninstall the wubi in now and then you open close cd-rom and then start a wubi install | 17:46 |
| Bubulle | Syberjj, wonder why 3D chips whant to achieve gigabits/s of memory thansfer and you want this to cross some few megabits of a network link? | 17:46 |
| Bubulle | amenado, cups | 17:46 |
| Ashfire908 | amenado: i picked reinstal grub when i selected the root sys, and then i told it the partition setup (i asumed it wasn't going to be stupid and reinstall) and then it deleted everything then it just started preping to install when i yanked the power cable. | 17:46 |
| amenado | Bubulle-> okay per nicrud, on your browser localhost:631 and look around | 17:47 |
| DC | __yy how easy are the dependencies? | 17:47 |
| __yy | DC: no idea, I've always used the packages myself | 17:47 |
| Cola_Pesce | ok. what if i try to format the whole partition where kubuntu is, and fix the boot loader? may it work? | 17:47 |
| amenado | Ashfire908-> no biggie, you have your /home separate so, just re-install | 17:47 |
| DC | __yy which distros did you use it on? | 17:47 |
| Snappl | Would it be possible for me to keep windows on my computer if i tried ubuntu? | 17:47 |

| isor | Cola_Pesce, yes you could do that if you had placed kubuntu on a sperate partition | 17:48 |
| __yy_ | DC: hrm, well, sounds like it's time to start reading some docs | 17:49 |
| nickrud | !virus | dr_martins (useful for screening windows viruses as a mail server) | 17:49 |
| ubottu | dr_martins (useful for screening windows viruses as a mail server): A/V software is available, however read this to understand why Linux does not have a virus problem: http://librenix.com/?inode=21 | 17:49 |
| Bubulle | amenado, at least for me I have some Icon on task bar when I print something and I can click on it to manage the job. But not for other users jobs. | 17:49 |
| Ashfire908 | amenado: no biggie? i have to reconfigure everything in /etc and reinstall ALL of my programs! | 17:49 |
| lazertek_ | live cd won't give you the same performace as if you installed it and you won't be able to install and keep packages and setting with the live cd Snappl | 17:49 |
| amenado | Bubulle-> well, you have to physically turn off the printer, then manage the lpr queue with cups..stops cups also so it does not send out printing jobs | 17:49 |
| Cola_Pesce | ok thanx | 17:49 |
| Syberjj | bubulle - and i dont want a 20frames/sec game running, just wanna be able to chat | 17:49 |
| Ashfire908 | amenado: you know if there are any file recovery programs? | 17:49 |
| pteeb | i need to inject a .dll into a .exe running with WINE | 17:49 |
| Snappl | So, how would i go about telling my computer what drive ot boot off of? | 17:49 |
| === __yy_ is now known as __yy | ||
| amenado | Ashfire908-> on the bright side -- it is a great learning experience yes? | 17:49 |
| grout | any one here play WoW on wine? | 17:50 |
| amenado | Ashfire908-> not from a formatted partitions | 17:50 |
| nickrud | Snappl are you planning on installing it on a second drive, or sharing a drive with windows? | 17:50 |
| lazertek_ | when you install ubuntu it will install grub and giv eyou the option of booting ubuntu or windows Snappl | 17:50 |
| __yy | pteeb: that sounds like a very wine specific question, you might have better luck in a wine specific channel | 17:50 |
| dr_martins | nickrud, thanx | 17:50 |
| Flaim | Can someone tell me how to adjust the brightness on a logitech webcam, beyond the settings in, for example, camorama? | 17:50 |
| pteeb | kk thanks __yy , i'll give it a try | 17:50 |
| Jsn0327 | After trying to return my laptop from standby mode, after grub, all i get is the blank screen. I know that it has at least started to initalize ubuntu because my wifi light is blinking which means that the driver was loaded. I've had this problem before but it was a while back and I can't remember what I did to fix it. I think that I had to do something through recovery mode. I am running gusty. Can someone please help me out? | 17:50 |
| Snappl | hmm, well does partitioning the drive count as a seperate one? | 17:50 |
| amenado | Bubulle-> look around for lpadmin lpstat commands, those are related to managing printer queues | 17:50 |
| Bubulle | Syberjj, I am able to chat, with Wow running with Wine or Cedega, and compiz effects allow me nice switchs from the game to Ubuntu native programs such as chat | 17:50 |
| nickrud | Snappl no. | 17:51 |
| Snappl | ight then, the same drive | 17:51 |
| Ashfire908 | amenado: no, it didn't format. i wasn't that stupid. | 17:51 |
| nickrud | Snappl then the installer will set it up for both to boot at your choice like lazertek_ said | 17:51 |
| Snappl | cool then, now to wait for my live CD.. | 17:51 |
| versus | hi, what are the disadvantages of using noapic or acpi=off? can I run a dual core opteron 64bit xen host with these settings without problems? | 17:51 |
| Bubulle | amenado, I seek some emergency solution, just a (sorry) "kill the shit" when the print jobs turn mad. | 17:51 |
| amenado | Ashfire908-> i thought you said it did try to format, then you pulled the plug? what status is it on now? | 17:51 |
| Snappl | thanks for clearing that up for me | 17:51 |
| Ashfire908 | amenado: all it did was destory the major dirs. | 17:51 |
| grout | bubulle: how did u do that? when i alt-tab out of WoW in wine WoW dies. | 17:52 |
| wols | versus: no. no dualcore or smp | 17:52 |
| Syberjj | bubulle - ok hold on... u let the program run and send the chat info to other programs? | 17:52 |
| onexused | If I want never want to upgrade one package past a certain version (say I don't want Firefox 3.0+), how do I tell my package manager(s) that? | 17:52 |
| Syberjj | bubulle - how O_o | 17:52 |
| amenado | Bubulle-> turn of the printer is the emergency cure...then turn off CUPS, then troubleshooot | 17:52 |
| djhash | RobbingDaHood: are u using the "\" in the router? | 17:52 |
| lazertek_ | onexused: go to synaptic and put a lock version on it | 17:52 |
| Ashfire908 | amenado: i told it what the root part was, it accessed the disak a lot, (no format) then it said installing base system and then i pulled the power cable out | 17:52 |
| versus | wols so, I cant use these settings with dual cores at all? | 17:52 |
| nickrud | Bubulle best advice I could make is writing a quick script that disables the printer, and assigning it to a launcher on your panel | 17:52 |
| db92 | how can i check if someone is leeching off of my connection? | 17:53 |
| amenado | Ashfire908-> well destroying the major dirs, would be difficult to recover, the time to re-install is what? a mere 30 mins? | 17:53 |
| screenname57648 | hello how do I alter my Places menu? | 17:53 |
| Bubulle | amenado, thanks, that did it. I had paper stuck into the lazer printer. Turned it off, killed tha cups, ppd job madness, | 17:53 |
| lazertek_ | db92: lol... u feel like someone is? | 17:53 |
| Flaim | db92: check the logs on your router | 17:53 |
| db92 | lazertek_, yup, unbelievably huge lag without any internet-related apps running | 17:53 |
| RobbingDaHood | djhash: what / ? | 17:53 |
| Ashfire908 | amenado: twenty, but it only deleted them, which does not actually delete the data. | 17:53 |
| RobbingDaHood | djhash: what \ ? | 17:53 |
| Bubulle | Syberjj, I use wine and Wow and compiz togather without problems. | 17:54 |
| hateball | screenname57648: you do it from the file browser -> bookmarks | 17:54 |
| amenado | Bubulle-> before you restart the CUPS clear all the print queues i think in /var/share | 17:54 |
| lazertek_ | just check what computers are connected on your router | 17:54 |
| Ashfire908 | amenado: it justs removes the file's record. | 17:54 |
| FreeSystem | hello | 17:54 |
| Bubulle | Syberjj, look at my recorded Wow on Linux here: http://www.noiraude.net/videos/wow-linux-bery.ogg | 17:54 |
| nickrud | Bubulle /var/spool/cups | 17:55 |
| SilverDawn | Hello everyone, Im using 'mint linux' trying to figure one small issue out, My sound seems to be insanely quiet unless i boost master up to 100 =\ | 17:55 |
| Tita1 | hey, how do you find your local ip, ( Like 192.168.0.1 ) | 17:55 |
| amenado | Ashfire908-> you have a fast internet access, you may perhaps use the debootstrap to load the basic files needed for ubuntu, no kernel is installed | 17:55 |
| lightwind_ | cool 12XX user online@_@ | 17:55 |
| SilverDawn | Its not like that on my other box... is there a reason for this? | 17:55 |
| Pollywog | what is apparmor and why is it complaining about MySQL after an apt-get upgrade? | 17:55 |
| MyName | Hi | 17:55 |
| SilverDawn | The card is.... HDA AT SB, Realtek ACL888 chip | 17:55 |
| MyName | is ubuntu better than windows vista ? | 17:55 |
| Bubulle | thanks nickrud | 17:55 |
| lazertek_ | SilverDawn: this is ubuntu support... eventhough its ubuntu based you should probably check the mint channell | 17:55 |
| SilverDawn | The mint channel is ... empty at all times | 17:56 |
| Tita1 | Thats an opinion... | 17:56 |
| * SilverDawn coughs | 17:56 | |
| nickrud | Pollywog it's a security thing, the mysql config for it is in /etc/apparmor.d/usr.bin.mysqld | 17:56 |
| Pollywog | nickrud: ty | 17:56 |
| db92 | Bubulle, thats pretty nice :P | 17:56 |
| Tita1 | So anyway, is there like a "Ipconfig" command in Ubuntu to see your local IP adress? | 17:56 |
| lazertek_ | SilverDawn: that's why you should probably install ubuntu | 17:56 |
| nogagplz | MyName: It depends. What do you normally use Windows for | 17:56 |
| db92 | Bubulle, the video i mean | 17:56 |
| Ashfire908 | amenado: Is that basicly an install? | 17:56 |
| lazertek_ | SilverDawn: or ask in mint forums | 17:56 |
| amenado | Tita1-> sudo ip a or ifconfig -a | 17:56 |
| Tita1 | ok | 17:56 |
| amenado | Ashfire908-> yeah, see if you have already started, you would have been almost done :P | 17:57 |
| Syberjj | bubulle, yeah i also run wow on linux, but what i want is to be able to chat in the wow server from my laptop while letting it continue to run on my pc | 17:57 |
| MyName | nogagplz, not too much | 17:57 |
| MyName | scientific computation, c/c++ development, grpahic design, gaming, music recoridng, video encoding, animation, desktop publishing, web design | 17:57 |
| Ashfire908 | amenado: I'm going to try to get /etc and /var/log back... | 17:57 |
| Pollywog | nickrud: I am not sure why apparmor complained | 17:57 |
| screenname57648 | hateball: ok that's a step in the right direction | 17:57 |
| nogagplz | Not too much includes what MyName? | 17:57 |
| Pollywog | does it write to the logs? | 17:57 |
| screenname57648 | hateball: what about the rest of the Places menu? | 17:57 |
| amenado | Ashfire908-> i know, its a difficult decision.. :) | 17:57 |
| nickrud | Pollywog take a look at /var/log/messages | 17:57 |
| pulse00 | hi all. i'm trying to configure my xorg.conf to use BigDesktop Mode in dual monitor setup. the only way i could get this to work was amds Control Center. for some reason though, the changes are reverted after a reboot. i'm running the tool as root. anyone heard of this problem ? | 17:57 |
| MyName | nogagplz, as i just typed | 17:57 |
| Pollywog | nickrud: k ty | 17:58 |
| lazertek_ | Syberjj: you should probably ask in #wine | 17:58 |
| nextplace | how do i install a .bin file? | 17:58 |
| amenado | Bubulle-> oh the queue is at /var/spool/cups | 17:58 |
| nogagplz | Sorry, didn't see it >> | 17:58 |
| Tita1 | Uh.. I tried "ip a" and "ifconfig -a" and some crazy shit came up, but no IP starting with "192" | 17:58 |
| lazertek_ | nextplace: wine | 17:58 |
| nickrud | Pollywog have you moved your mysql database? I move mine to /home/mysql , that's how I learned about apparmor | 17:58 |
| hateball | screenname57648: Oh those... not sure, never had to alter them... Probably in some config file somewhere ;) | 17:58 |
| screenname57648 | great | 17:58 |
| amenado | Tita1-> be nice, no cursing please | 17:59 |
| Pollywog | nickrud: negative, I have not done anything with it lately | 17:59 |
| nextplace | lazertek_: it's a native linux program | 17:59 |
| nogagplz | Apart from gaming which isn't its strong point, you should be able to do the other things just fine. | 17:59 |
| Tita1 | Fine, some crazy poop came up | 17:59 |
| isor | SilverDawn, did you open you mixer and adjust like front and master and maybe pcm | 17:59 |
| Simotempler | hi there - if i have a dual boot of linux and xp installed on a hard drive 20GB each and I want to install a new 500GB HD for media and files will both linux and xp detect it as I have a spare slot in my system. Also should I just format the new drive to FAT or NTFS for use with both ubuntu and xp??? | 17:59 |
| === mohammad__ is now known as Serial0 | ||
| lazertek_ | yes but its an emulator that will let you install windows applications | 17:59 |
| Bubulle | Syberjj, no way to remote the 3D windows unless you get software rendering and then it slow to the point you won't be able to do anything | 17:59 |
| nogagplz | So long as you approach it knowing that Ubuntu is not Windows, and doesn't aim to be Windows | 17:59 |
| nickrud | Pollywog tail -f /var/log/messages , and try starting mysql with sudo /etc/init.d/mysql start . Should give you some good info | 17:59 |
| lazertek_ | nextplace: well some win apps | 17:59 |
| amenado | Tita1-> your cable is okay? your dhcp server working? are you using wireless? | 17:59 |
| Pollywog | nickrud: ty | 17:59 |
| SilverDawn | Doesnt alsa start to distort sound once you start putting the bars into their 'red'zones | 18:00 |
| SPYderZ | hi guys don't want to disturb but ... I know it's the same question over and over again.. but how do i use sound in firefox 3.0 on ubuntu hardy 8.04 . i found some tutorials but they don't seem to work | 18:00 |
| lazertek_ | Simotempler: if you format it in ntfs its fine because you can use it in ubuntu too | 18:00 |
| legend2440 | pulse00: yes same thing happens here. i got it working by using these 3 commands in terminal.. put sudo before the commands and you might want to backup xorg.conf first http://www.fedoraforum.org/forum/showthread.php?t=124634 | 18:01 |
| nickrud | SilverDawn most transistors start to clip at somewhere above 80% output, so most likely yes for your sound card | 18:01 |
| lazertek_ | Simotempler: you can also foormat it in ext3 and download a program in windows that will let you use it in there | 18:01 |
| harveyd | is there an isdef for shell? I just want to set HOME=/path if it hasnt been set | 18:01 |
| Syberjj | bubulle - but it also shows youtube videos and other stuff. cant it send me one "picture" of the screen every second? | 18:01 |
| soulchild | HI all, i just compiled a kernel, created /dev/console and /dev/null but now i have no fonts or icaons in Gnome, and ideas ???? | 18:01 |
| isor | SilverDawn, hasn't on my machine all you can do is try if sound gets shity then readjust | 18:01 |
| grout | How can i add more virtual desktops? | 18:01 |
| Syberjj | bubulle - the main problem is that i dont evern get to the point of having slowness problems or whatever, but when i start wow remotely it crashes | 18:01 |
| hateball | grout: rightclick the desktop chooser | 18:02 |
| SPYderZ | grout: right click the virtual desktom chooser | 18:02 |
| nickrud | harveyd #bash is a good place to ask about bash scripting | 18:02 |
| SPYderZ | hi guys don't want to disturb but ... I know it's the same question over and over again.. but how do i use sound in firefox 3.0 on ubuntu hardy 8.04 . i found some tutorials but they don't seem to work | 18:02 |
| grout | Thanks | 18:02 |
| ninix | hi, anyone know the problem with the google toolbar, the bookmark tab | 18:02 |
| harveyd | ah k, thanks | 18:02 |
| SilverDawn | hrm, im not getting clipping at all on this new card | 18:03 |
| SilverDawn | Thats neat | 18:03 |
| SilverDawn | lol | 18:03 |
| Simotempler | lazertek i know ntfs is meant to be a clumsy format but is FAT worse and if I formatted to ext3 and got a program for xp to access how would those file work say if windows media player was playin video etc.? | 18:03 |
| dr_martins | HRLP me! How to install TTF-Fonts into Ubuntu | 18:03 |
| SPYderZ | can anyone help me please? | 18:03 |
| nickrud | SPYderZ the best sound guy I know in ubuntu recommends http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=789578&page=25 | 18:03 |
| SPYderZ | dr_martins: apt-get msttcorefonts | 18:03 |
| Simotempler | would they ever crash | 18:03 |
| Bubulle | Syberjj, did you try teleport, a kind of software KVM, that let move mous and keyboard across computers? | 18:03 |
| SPYderZ | nickrud: thanks | 18:03 |
| surferbic | hello | 18:03 |
| surferbic | I got my wirless card to work yea | 18:04 |
| sjdurfey | is there any reason why i cant copy files from a read-only directory? | 18:04 |
| Bubulle | Syberjj, it won't display Wow remotely but will let you type and act mouse remotely | 18:04 |
| amenado | sjdurfey-> because you can not get to that directory? | 18:04 |
| nickrud | dr_martins and if you have some fonts lying around you want to use, right click the desktop and select change background. Then select the fonts tab, and drag the ttf file onto the window. | 18:04 |
| dr_martins | SPYderZ, Terminal said, that it is WRONG OPERATION | 18:04 |
| Syberjj | bubulle - yeah but that wont let me see the chat... >.< | 18:04 |
| Simotempler | sjdurfey - sudo natiulius and copy that way | 18:05 |
| SPYderZ | dr_martins: sudo apt-get msttcorefonts | 18:05 |
| SPYderZ | .... | 18:05 |
| SPYderZ | i thinks :P | 18:05 |
| nickrud | dr_martins sudo apt-get install msttcorefonts will get you arial and a few other useful web fonts | 18:05 |
| franku | what's the diff between ubuntu-8.0.4 desktop download and LiveCD download? | 18:05 |
| SPYderZ | ups.... | 18:06 |
| nickrud | franku the 'desktop' and 'live' cd's are the same | 18:06 |
| macd | franku, one is for install purposes only, the livecd runs live and installs. | 18:06 |
| macd | franku, nvm, I suppose desktop isnt alternate ;P | 18:06 |
| Bubulle | Syberjj, I don't use VNC but freenx and ncxlient from nomachine software. This has better performance ahtn VNC, Did you try it? | 18:06 |
| franku | nickrud, I was hoping someone would say that | 18:06 |
| dr_martins | SPYderZ, I've tryed it | 18:07 |
| Joe_le_fourbe | bonjour | 18:07 |

| lazertek_ | surferbic: check linux.org | 18:09 |
| Bubulle | Syberjj, There is a setting I do'nt remember to allow replication 3D applications. I used it with Blender. If you can get glxgears to display on a NX remote, it will do for wow. | 18:09 |

| DarkAudit | the repo Azureus is 2.5, but there's a .deb of the latest vuze on spftpedia | 18:38 |
| molgrum | aha ok | 18:38 |

| ross | lol ok | 18:38 |

| cogumel0 | what does the -a do ? | 18:39 |
| molgrum | ok | 18:39 |
| ikonia | molgrum: they are the most common causes | 18:39 |
| ikonia | cogumel0: all interfaces | 18:39 |
| GL-san | shows al | 18:39 |
| yoyoned | ross: there is pc-bsd as well. I's freebsd based, but made for desktop use | 18:39 |
| ikonia | molgrum: are you over clocking at all ? | 18:39 |
| RB2 | DarkAudit, The strangest part was that I booted up my machine this morning and I just plugged in the USB headset. As soon as I did, the startup sound played because it had been sitting there queued for this device. :-P | 18:39 |
| cogumel0 | and without -a only shows the ones currently being used ? | 18:39 |
| molgrum | ikonia: hmm, i'm not sure :/ | 18:40 |
| GL-san | just a list | 18:40 |
| RB2 | DarkAudit, it was GSC I was trying to get to work. | 18:40 |
| ross | also, what programs do you recommend for burning cd/dvds in ubuntu? | 18:40 |
| GL-san | no details | 18:40 |
| ikonia | molgrum: your not sure if your overclocking - I'd say your not if you don't know | 18:40 |
| cogumel0 | ok, cheers. | 18:40 |
| molgrum | ikonia: i have memories being in bios and fiddling with overclocking, so i might be | 18:40 |
| hateball | ross: Brasero is nice | 18:40 |
| molgrum | i'll have to check that | 18:40 |
| ikonia | molgrum: ok, so another step is set the bios to "fail safe defaults", most bioses have that option | 18:41 |

| ikonia | molgrum: sure | 18:42 |
| Krepta | from the Adobe site | 18:42 |

| ikonia | King_of_Hearts: sorry, I meant "why did you chose the server edition" | 18:49 |
| hyphenated | Syberjj: they're not "created", they're already running. | 18:49 |
| King_of_Hearts | When I try to install the OS, it stops when installing packages, usually around 2% or 6% | 18:49 |
| krish | Pici: The ubuntu title font | 18:49 |
| Syberjj | hyphenated - ok i didnt know that lol | 18:49 |
| Pici | krish: https://wiki.ubuntu.com/DIYMarketing | 18:49 |
| Pici | krish: In the fonts section | 18:49 |
| berntsen | Syberjj: You select switch users on the logout screen | 18:49 |
| King_of_Hearts | I've burnt around 6 disks on various speeds with different drives, all slowest possible burns | 18:49 |
| krish | Pici: Thanks :) | 18:50 |
| Julouste | Syberjj: startx -- :1 I think | 18:50 |
| hyphenated | Syberjj: you should have a 'start new session' option in one of the menus | 18:50 |
| xodiac13 | i would like to know if atheros chipset is support by the lates ubuntu | 18:50 |
| Syberjj | hyphenated - ok i didnt know that ^_^ and how can i have 2 graphical sessions running at the same time? | 18:50 |
| === PV1 is now known as PrivateVoid | ||
| ikonia | King_of_Hearts: 1.) why are you using the server edition 2.) how long did you leave it when it stopped 3.) does numlock on the keyboard still turn the light on and off | 18:50 |
| King_of_Hearts | I suspect the servers CD drive is wonky, because I cannot validate the CD with the "Check CD for Defects" option | 18:50 |
| ikonia | King_of_Hearts: what do you mean you can't validate it - does it error ? | 18:50 |
| Syberjj | hyphenated - i dont.... >.< | 18:51 |
| xodiac13 | i need help | 18:51 |
| Pici | King_of_Hearts: If that check is failing, then either the burn is bad, the iso file is bad or the drive is bad. Pick at least one ;) | 18:51 |
| King_of_Hearts | 1. because the coputer is a server intended for a small business, 2. I left it for a good half hour, 3. I'm 99% positive it did | 18:51 |
| Syberjj | Julouste - k gonna try that out ^_^ | 18:51 |
| King_of_Hearts | Thats the thing, i burnt the disk 6 times, and even redownloaded the .iso twice, and double checked the md5 hash | 18:51 |
| bbyever | im having trouble recording sound. could someone help me? | 18:52 |
| King_of_Hearts | latest 2 burns were on a 2x speed burn, lowest I could go, and still I got nowhere | 18:52 |
| ikonia | King_of_Hearts: I've had many a burn that can be too slow, too fast, bad program to burn | 18:52 |
| xodiac13 | does ubuntu 8.04 support the atheros chipset for wireless support | 18:52 |
| Flannel | King_of_Hearts: can you validate it in another computer? | 18:52 |
| xodiac13 | ? | 18:52 |
| Syberjj | bbyever - try closing firefox and try again. flash bugs sound | 18:52 |
| grendal_prime | hey i got a cabnet full of hd's that i got because they needed to be whiped out. What is the quickes and most definat method of doing this? | 18:52 |
| bbyever | Syberjj: ok, i'll try that | 18:52 |
| ikonia | Flannel: execellent idea, validate it on the computer you burnt | 18:52 |
| King_of_Hearts | give me a moment and I will verify that the CD is validatable on another unit | 18:52 |
| Syberjj | bbyever - and in sound options make sure u are using ALSA for everything unless u have a hardware soundcard | 18:53 |
| Flannel | ikonia: I wouldn't validate on the computer that burned it, but a third party, if one is available | 18:53 |
| Julouste | Syberjj: sudo startx -- :1 for another x session, which you would probably switch to with cntrl, alt, F8 sudo startx -- :2 for next session, etc | 18:53 |
| award | a clarification question: can i complie a kernel on one computer and install the produced .debs on another? | 18:53 |
| ikonia | Flannel: why ? | 18:53 |
| ikonia | award: yes if the dependencies are met | 18:54 |
| Syberjj | Julouste - but do those sessions have a graphical interface? (gnome) | 18:54 |
| Flannel | ikonia: because the burner computer could be the one with problems, and it might read it back fine. | 18:54 |
| award | ikonida: ok great thanks | 18:54 |
| Julouste | Syberjj: They should do. | 18:54 |
| ikonia | Flannel: it wouldn't read it back find as the checksums would fail - a failty cd drive can't make the checksums fall into line | 18:54 |
| Syberjj | Julouste - thanks allot | 18:54 |
| zeeeee | hi, i'm running a program that's doing a bunch of disk IO - is there any way to determine which process this is? | 18:55 |
| kcaj | supp | 18:55 |
| kcaj | I'm so mads :( | 18:55 |
| kcaj | I can't get my wireless card working | 18:55 |
| zeeeee | (i.e. how to find out what processes are performing lots of disk IO?) | 18:55 |
| kcaj | 'I can see wireless networks, but they always stay at 0% and never connect | 18:55 |

| ikonia | kcaj: calm down and explain your problem clearly on one line if possible | 18:55 |
| bbyever | Syberjj: and then the sound preferences freezes | 18:56 |
| kcaj | Alright, I installed the cutter stuff f or broadcom, my wireless card works and is recognized by my system and my system detects wireless networks, however, it nev er actually can connec t to them... even if the signal is around 50%, when it tries to connect it jst says 0% and never grabs an IP | 18:56 |

| Syberjj | bbyver - i have no idea what that is >.< | 18:57 |
| kcaj | 'Through manual configuration I can make wlan0:athi or whatyever come up, but it always has an invalid ip (I forget what now, and now it is impossible to check since where I am at currently, has no wifi I can use, only a wire, and my mother location only has wifi, no wire) | 18:57 |
| kcaj | so I've been goig back and forth going nuts ;) haha | 18:57 |

| kcaj | Is there a better network manager than the default one or something that works good with broadcom stuff? | 18:57 |
| ikonia | kcaj: I suspect your getting yourself a little confused | 18:58 |
| Syberjj | bbyver - but anyway, multiple audio things working at the same time require hardware work from the soundcard, onboard cards cant do that so u have to use the ALSA sound software that will do the work using processor power | 18:58 |
| mobilefrogge | this wireless card issue killing me | 18:58 |
| ikonia | kcaj: first thing to do is paste the output of the following commands in a pastebin please. "ifconfig -a" and then "iwconfig" | 18:58 |
| kcaj | I couldn't even get my card to work at first, but, at least now it works. | 18:58 |
| Syberjj | bbyver - well... most things already work using aLSA but firefox+flash dont so it bugs other sound apps | 18:58 |
| ikonia | kcaj: that way we can take a look at what's going on | 18:58 |
| mobilefrogge | kcaj what kind of card is it? | 18:58 |
| IndyGunFreak | mobilefrogge: what wireless device do you have? | 18:58 |
| Syberjj | byver - maybe u can try starting the sound recording software using "aoss softwarename" | 18:58 |
| kcaj | Dude, it will not help atm, right ikonia, because, at the moment, I can't connect to a wifi due to my physical location, even if there was one available, like where I physically was last night, it would not connect | 18:59 |

| ikonia | kcaj: not wlan:autohi | 19:04 |

| kcaj | Is there some kind of more comprehensive network manager? | 19:06 |
| IndyGunFreak | greenfish: you added the medibuntu repository? | 19:06 |
| kcaj | I read around last night and it seems like that might be the problem, that my network manager isn't handling the card properly, and I'm sure that, the problem is probably something related to that | 19:06 |
| greenfish | IndyGunFreak: IndyGunFreak deb http://packages.medibuntu.org/ hardy free non-free | 19:07 |
| ikonia | kcaj: as it stands, I can't see a problem, I'd walk through configuring wlan0 with you to determain that | 19:07 |
| kcaj | ikonia, well, tomorrow, I'll have a wire, and an open wifi | 19:07 |
| IndyGunFreak | greenfish: don't know, i've never done it that way, but adding the repository should work. | 19:07 |
| FTB | Hmm? | 19:08 |
| kcaj | but until then I mean, I can tell you 100% that no matter how I tried to connect to an open wifi last night, NOTHING worked. It would just stay at 0% when the icon changed to the "wifi bars" | 19:08 |

| Fezzler | tmapj: How do I find out and why is it important | 20:16 |
| Flannel | Fezzler: uname -a | 20:16 |
| phreck | but its sitting in its folder, and from the terminal to launch it, i have to go to /home/user/folder/ | 20:16 |
| phreck | symbolic link or something? | 20:17 |
| Flannel | phreck: Its all in its own folder? | 20:17 |
| tmapj | fezzler restart and see if it says -rt on your start up selection | 20:17 |
| phreck | im lost, i used to know how at one point. but im a little off. | 20:17 |
| phreck | Yea its all in its own folder | 20:17 |
| Flannel | tmapj: No need to restart, just uname -a | 20:17 |
| phreck | i untarred/make/make installed it there | 20:17 |
| tmapj | Flannel what? | 20:17 |
| Carpe|Diem | is there something like a device manager in ubuntu? to see the hardware my pc has | 20:18 |
| tmapj | Flannel do you have ubuntu studio? | 20:18 |
| Flannel | tmapj: you don't need to restart, "uname -a" will tell you if you're using the realtime kernel | 20:18 |
| phreck | lspci | 20:18 |
| orionr | Carpe|Diem: lspci | 20:18 |
| malocite | brb, gonna switch clients | 20:18 |
| Fezzler | tmapj: Okay, but what do you mean start-up selection? I boot to a multi-user login screen. | 20:18 |
| mobilefrogge | Carpe|Diem: you can see your stuff, but you can't edit it like in windows | 20:18 |
| === askme is now known as malocite | ||

| buzain | clear | 20:19 |
| phreck | any idea Flannel ? | 20:19 |
| Flannel | phreck: Usually when you make install, it'll get put into /usr/local/ (/usr/local/bin, with other stuff in the other /usr/local directories) /usr/local/bin is in your path. | 20:19 |
| tmapj | fezzler i dont know how to help you | 20:20 |
| Fezzler | tmapj: Thanks. | 20:20 |
| malocite | I have just reinstalled Ubuntu and have my /home folder on a different drive, but I currently cannot access it, and I cannot remember how to correct this. Can someone please point me in the right direction? | 20:20 |
| Flannel | phreck: If you want to just move it, you can move it to /opt and then add that path (/opt/vmware/whatever) to your path | 20:20 |
| phreck | So by dropping it in user/local/bin i may fix my issue? | 20:20 |
| thorny_sun | is there a way to know where a file is located? i.e. if i want to know where svn is-- how would i do that? | 20:20 |
| tmapj | your welcome, sorry | 20:20 |
| Flannel | phreck: The binary, yes. And the other files in their corresponding /usr/local/* directories | 20:20 |
| Flannel | thorny_sun: which svn | 20:20 |
| Fezzler | Can anyone help me troubleshoot my nvidia GeForce FX 5500 setup? All I have is 800x600 and no Compiz at all. | 20:21 |
| kray | Hi. I'm having trouble with resume on my x61t. I just see a blank screen with a text cursor after resuming. I can change virtual terminals but not type anything. | 20:21 |
| thorny_sun | Flannel: thanks!! | 20:21 |
| thorny_sun | which!! where have you been all my life | 20:21 |
| Fezzler | Or, please. someone confirm that I should give up as Hardy does not work fully with nvidia as Fiesty and Gutsy did. | 20:21 |

| Zamadatx | is ther ea less crowded version of this chat? | 20:25 |
| Stale | I added this too the /etc/sudoers Cmnd_Aliases IR_CMDS = /etc/init.d/iguanaIR, /usr/sbin/lircd. And gave them to a user. But only the iguanaIR works, not lircd. | 20:25 |
| Flannel | Fezzler: If it keeps asking you to restart, something's not right. (I have no idea whats not right, but something.) This may help the screenres: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/BinaryDriverHowto/Nvidia#Low%20Screen%20Resolutions | 20:25 |
| Zamadatx | is there a less crowded version of this chat?? | 20:25 |
| Flannel | Zamadatx: Have you installed ccsm yet? | 20:25 |
| Zamadatx | no | 20:25 |
| Zamadatx | i typed compiz --replace | 20:26 |
| Zamadatx | it reloaded windows | 20:26 |
| malocite | Zamadatx: I could do with a few more actually :) Supports a little light for me today :( | 20:26 |
| Flannel | Zamadatx: compiz is enabled by default, so that's not necessary. You will however need to install compizconfig-settings-manager | 20:26 |
| Flannel | Zamadatx: or simple-ccsm for a simpler one | 20:26 |
| Zamadatx | i typed compiz in the add remove orgram thing | 20:26 |
| Zamadatx | porgram* | 20:26 |
| Zamadatx | i downloadded it | 20:27 |
| matt444 | ok, so i accidentally closed a gnome-terminal. can I somehow go back and get the output is it still there somewhere? | 20:27 |
| Flannel | Zamadatx: What version of Ubuntu are you running? | 20:27 |
| Zamadatx | newest | 20:27 |
| malocite | matt444: What output did you want to recapture? | 20:27 |
| Zamadatx | installed and got it yesterday | 20:27 |
| matt444 | malocite: output of commands i ran | 20:27 |
| mado | hi guys ... | 20:27 |
| cowbud | matt444: the commands you run may still be available in history but that also depends on how many terminals you had open.. | 20:28 |
| malocite | matt444: If you relaunch the gnome-terminal and press the uparrow you can re-run the commands if you don't emember them | 20:28 |
| Flannel | Zamadatx: you *dont* need to install compiz-fusion. It's installed by default. You *do* need to install the settings manager. Add/remove probably won't have it. use synaptic, or sudo apt-get install compizconfig-settings-manager, and then it'll show up in your preferences | 20:28 |
| matt444 | cowbud: how do i retrieve history? | 20:28 |
| mado | can you help please? ... i'm looking for a "ubuntu 8.04"-geforce9500-driver | 20:28 |
| matt444 | malocite: can't rerun them. | 20:28 |
| Zamadatx | what is synaptic? | 20:28 |

| Flannel | Zamadatx: Its a graphical package manager, similar to add/remove (not as simple, but more powerful) | 20:28 |
| Zamadatx | where do i find the shortcut to it? | 20:29 |
| Flannel | Zamadatx: System > Admin > Synaptic Package Manager | 20:29 |
| Zamadatx | k | 20:29 |

| pvl1 | Yacht, the package gparted should be able to do it for you very easily and raltime is like a specific linux kernel i believe which is very effecient for things like movie editing | 20:37 |
| genii | Yacht: sudo mkfs.msdod -F16 /dev/<devicenamegoeshere> | 20:37 |
| genii | mkfs.msdos rather | 20:37 |

| thorny_sun | Flannel: actually i just found it-- in my .profile-- just like you said-- it checks for the /bin directory and if it's there, then it adds it to path | 20:38 |
| Guest11258 | Xchat | 20:38 |

| Arianna | lol i wouldn't know :/ | 20:56 |
| Arianna | this laptop was given to me without any documentation | 20:56 |
| Flannel | malocite: No. You say "use this partition as /home, don't format it" and it wont touch stuff | 20:56 |
| freddy_ | anyone know of this scrip? to install the basic stuff...like flash player...codecs...etc? i just installed 8.04 thanks.. | 20:56 |
| Guest11258 | go to your terminal and type in ifconfig or iwconfig | 20:56 |
| Flannel | freddy_: There is no script. But all of those things are easy to install. | 20:56 |
| [TiZ] | Arianna: Does it not connect to any wireless network at all, or does it connect and drop connection later? | 20:56 |
| crimsun | pen: that should be 9.0.124, which is what hardy shipped with | 20:56 |
| xxschwartzxx | So to install to an external hard drive, i burn the iso to a cd, then diconnect my normal hd, start up my computer and put in the cd with the iso and install? | 20:56 |
| pvl1 | hagus, well this guide should set it all up so that it works. is the file empty? | 20:56 |
| Arianna | it doesn't recognise that networks exist | 20:56 |
| Arianna | its like neither card is there | 20:56 |
| crimsun | pen: I can assist you in #ubuntu-audio-help if you have further questions | 20:56 |
| freddy_ | something like easyubuntu | 20:57 |
| xocite | xxschwartzxx: You can do it that way. | 20:57 |
| Arianna | i can plug in my ethernet and it doesnt detect anything, and it doesn't detect my wireless either | 20:57 |
| freddy_ | or something like that | 20:57 |
| pen | crimsun, what should I do to make my sound back? | 20:57 |

| freddy_ | flannel* | 20:57 |
| malocite | Flannel: Ahh... I just re-installed but didn't pick that option and was trying to work backwards and it was't working.... so basically doing it that way I can just specify use this drive. and bang, when I login as that new user it will use that directory | 20:57 |
| [TiZ] | Arianna: Right click on your network icon, then click Connection Information, and tell me what the Driver is | 20:57 |

| xocite | thorny_sun: typically, if you can type commands into a terminal, the shell is interactive | 21:09 |

| danand_ | flowy - take a look at your init scripts - /etc/rc2.d for instance. you should probably have a ref to gdm or kdm in there. ie on my system S30gdm. that script starts gdm / X for you at boot | 21:19 |
| thorny_sun | Jordan_U: as far as i can tell, i'm never running in a login shell? | 21:19 |

| Dr_willis | [TiZ], you need to set the proper options in the fstab file normally. umask,dmask, fmask. but i never cen rember the right options to use. | 21:23 |
| Zod21 | its libdvdcss | 21:24 |
| thorny_sun | xocite: Jordan_U: right-- so if my .profile (which is only read by login-shell's) has a line that add's ~/bin to the path it will only do so the next time i run a login shell-- correct? | 21:24 |
| Dr_willis | [TiZ], you do NOT chmod/chown ntfs filesystems. it wont work. :) you mount them with the proper options | 21:24 |
| Jordan_U | thorny_sun, So rather than initialize these variables every single time a shell is started, these specific variables are set once at login | 21:24 |
| thorny_sun | which in my case is probably on restart? | 21:24 |
| pvl1 | Jordan_U, i just installed the rt and its running much slower than the norm | 21:24 |
| [TiZ] | Dr_willis, Do those mask options apply to ntfs-3g? I know they did to vfat. | 21:24 |
| Xsploit | what would be the command to give read/write permissions to user 'x' in all recursive folders of /var/www ? | 21:24 |
| evilbug | how do i install kde in hardy aside from kubuntu-desktop because i don't want all the bundled apps, just kde? | 21:25 |
| thorny_sun | xocite: Jordan_U: since i only just added the ~/bin dir just now | 21:25 |
| xocite | thorny_sun: if you use a graphical login manager, this variables that Jordan_U is referring to is typically set before the initialization of X | 21:25 |
| Jordan_U | thorny_sun, Yes | 21:25 |
| Jordan_U | thorny_sun, Whereas if you make a .bashrc that will be run with every new shell | 21:25 |
| Chimp_away | whats the best way of updating my video card driver? | 21:25 |
| xocite | thorny_sun: place "export PATH=$PATH:/home/user/bin" in your ~/.bashrc | 21:25 |
| Dr_willis | [TiZ], it works the same for ntfs-3g., vfat, and ntfs i belive.. a ntfs guide on the topic is here 0-> http://www.linux-ntfs.org/doku.php?id=ntfs-en#common_mount_options | 21:25 |

| thorny_sun | xocite: so all i'd have to do is restart x? | 21:25 |

| Jordan_U | thorny_sun, You can also always use "source" to re-run your .profile in a specific shell | 21:26 |
| Guest26795 | now thats what i need(perl ebook) | 21:26 |
| Dr_willis | dannyboy, ive seen many on various websites for download, or guides. | 21:26 |
| thorny_sun | xocite: Jordan_U: but someone (i'm assuming ubuntu wizards) already put that code in my .profile for a reason? | 21:26 |

| thorny_sun | xocite: how do you restart x? ctl-alt-backspace? | 21:26 |
| xocite | thorny_sun: yes | 21:27 |
| pvl1 | hagus, load it from a terminal by doing "sudo gedit /yourmenulst" | 21:27 |

| merula | alright folks, I'm having a hell of a time sharing my usb printer on Hardy to my local network's WinXP machines. Any ideas? | 21:28 |
| Jordan_U | thorny_sun, Yes, you will notice that checking for a $HOME/bin and if it's there adding it to your path is only possible after login but does not need to be done with every new shell. | 21:28 |
| evilbug | would "sudo apt-get install kde" suffice and would i need to access some other repos? | 21:28 |
| d3vlabs | hi I have ubuntu 8.04 installed right now. I need to put windows vista on the same machine so i have vista and ubuntu | 21:28 |
| Xsploit | what would be the command to give read/write permissions to user 'x' in all recursive folders of /var/www ? | 21:28 |
| d3vlabs | how do I proceed | 21:28 |
| khin | hey... i noticed that since upgrading to hardy from dapper i cannot hibernate effectively: all the programs close out as in a restart. i can suspend effectively. however, for long term down time this is not really acceptable | 21:29 |
| thorny_sun | Jordan_U: right | 21:29 |
| merula | Xsploit, check `man chmod` | 21:29 |
| ratpoison | evilbug: I think the proper way is apt-get install kubuntu-desktop, lemme check | 21:29 |
| thorny_sun | Jordan_U: xocite: thank for helping me understand-- makes more sense now... | 21:29 |
| merula | Xsploit, I think there's a recursive option in there | 21:29 |
| khin | although suspend seems to use almost no power but that was over a length of only six hours | 21:29 |

| Jordan_U | d3vlabs, Boot from a linux LiveCD, resize your Ubuntu partition, install Vista ( Vista will rudely remove Ubuntu's bootloader, grub ) then get grub back by following: | 21:30 |

| evilbug | ratpoison- and i have to manually uninstall all the other apps i won't need? | 21:31 |
| Jordan_U | thorny_sun, It is all about a division between what should be done when and what should be configurable by the user, for instance users can't modify /etc/profile but they can modify their own .profile | 21:31 |
| Xsploit | ok, whats the command to list the current permissions for a folder? | 21:31 |
| merula | !chmod | Xsploit | 21:32 |
| ubottu | Xsploit: An explanation of how files and directories are organized on Ubuntu, and how they can be manipulated, can be found at https://help.ubuntu.com/community/LinuxFilesystemTreeOverview | 21:32 |
| Jordan_U | flowy, Do you have a file /etc/init.d/gdm ? | 21:32 |
| ratpoison | oh, I'm not sure how to completely remove GNOME. There is a blog post somewhere, I can google it. But from personal experience, I think that backing up your /home/ and installing kubuntu from scratch is much better | 21:32 |
| Jordan_U | ratpoison, Who is asking about removing all of gnome? | 21:32 |
| flowy | Jordan_U: yes | 21:32 |
| braden_ | kubuntu is badass but i like gnome | 21:33 |

| cchance | Guys how can i tell without opening the case what memory slots are covered in my notebook? | 21:33 |
| ratpoison | evilbug: oh, that's what I thought you meant. Yeah, sure, then you just apt-get remove them. But having both GNOME and KDE is kind of a blot imho | 21:33 |

| xocite | malocite: also, see if you are part of the malocite group | 21:58 |
| malocite | yes it is | 21:58 |
| mado-ka | can i edit the file you told me to show you so that i can change the resolution?? | 21:59 |
| Fezzler | When I use the Hardware Driver app it uninstalls EnvyNG and then seems to go into a cycle of endlessly asking me to restart and limits me to 800x600. At Envy Gives me good screen resolution. | 21:59 |
| mado-ka | Jordan_U: ? | 21:59 |
| unop | malocite, secondly - is /home/malocite your home directory -- grep -i $USER /etc/passwd | 21:59 |
| Jordan_U | mado-ka, Are you sure nvidia is enabled in hardware drivers? | 21:59 |
| malocite | xocite: echo $GROUP ? | 21:59 |
| malocite | xocite: echo $GROUP ? - Nothing comes up | 21:59 |
| mado-ka | Jordan_U: ... hardware drivers doesn't show me a thing | 21:59 |
| xocite | malocite: look in /etc/group | 21:59 |
| unop | malocite, you need the groups command for that | 21:59 |
| unop | malocite, groups; id | 21:59 |
| Jordan_U | mado-ka, How did you install the nvidia drivers again ( or am I thinking of the wrong person? ) | 22:00 |
| malocite | malocite:x:1000:1000:Howard,,,:/home/malocite:/bin/bash | 22:00 |
| xocite | malocite: like unop said, make sure /home/malocite is your directory, make sure you are part of your own group, and then | 22:00 |
| xocite | malocite: if that is the case, "sudo chown -R malocite:malocite /home/malocite" | 22:00 |
| unop | malocite, now you can take ownership .. | 22:00 |
| mado-ka | dunno ... i installed "nvidia-glx-new" because someone told me to ... | 22:00 |
| malocite | unop: How do I see what group I am in? | 22:00 |
| hagus | It tells me -a is an invalid option. | 22:00 |
| Moptop650 | Is it possible to boot to command-line only on a Ubuntu 6 live CD? | 22:00 |
| unop | malocite, groups; id | 22:00 |
| mado-ka | i used the command "sudo apt-get install " | 22:00 |
| Jordan_U | pvl1, When you boot hit escape to see the grub menu, from there you can try recovery mode and / or boot an older kernel version | 22:00 |
| Zamadatx | hey im running open city and its flashing black in some spots | 22:00 |
| hagus | pvl1: it tells me -a is an invalid option | 22:00 |
| unop | Moptop650, no, but you can kill X after booting up | 22:00 |
| Jordan_U | Moptop650, Yes | 22:01 |
| Zamadatx | i can run sim city 4 on windows so i should be able to run this | 22:01 |
| Moptop650 | Jordan - How? | 22:01 |
| malocite | unop: ok, malocite is the first thing to appear in the groups list. | 22:01 |
| Jordan_U | Moptop650, edit the kernel parameters to add "1" to the end which should start you in single user mode | 22:01 |
| pvl1 | hagus, and your putting in "sudo mount -a" exactly like that into a terminal? | 22:01 |
| malocite | gid=1000(malocite) | 22:01 |
| unop | malocite, yea, i figured, it's ok to take ownership now via chown | 22:01 |
| Moptop650 | Jordan - How do I do that - im guessing its something I type into it when it first starts up? | 22:02 |
| hagus | I am at the /media/sda directory using terminal and I type sudo mount -a | 22:02 |
| hagus | The result then is nothing at all happens. | 22:02 |
| hagus | It simply goes to the next line of the konsole | 22:03 |
| cchance | Hey anyone got a good website that will make my ubuntu look like osx? the one i found has bad tabs... the tabs look like they where hand drawn | 22:03 |
| unop | hagus, which means the command completed successfully | 22:03 |
| Zamadatx | i have graphics problem | 22:03 |
| malocite | unop: Doing that now, I'll let you know how it comes out :) It seems to take a while, lots of files in there :) | 22:03 |
| hagus | ok ty unop :) I did not realise that | 22:03 |
| Zamadatx | in opencity it keeps flashing black | 22:03 |
| pvl1 | Jordan_U, oops forgot about the recovery modes, ill try that later, ty | 22:03 |
| Jordan_U | mado-ka, Ahh, Ok let me see if I can edit your xorg.conf and send it back to you | 22:03 |

| unop | malocite, ok, you need this. chmod 740 /home/malocite | 22:07 |
| Jordan_U | Drk_Guy, No, AFIK you need to recompile your kernel to get Vista UDF to work :( | 22:07 |

| Moptop650 | Anyone, how can I boot to command-line only on a Ubuntu 6 live CD? | 22:08 |
| Drk_Guy | Jordan_U, that isn't really recommended, why motu's won't compile it with support? | 22:08 |
| ubunub1 | Moptop650: you've already been given an answer | 22:08 |
| unop | xocite, 740 would have worked, nothing wrong there -- infact, group only has read currently anyway | 22:08 |
| malocite | unop: I an now move into the irectory, drying to login with gdm (restarted gdm first) | 22:08 |
| Moptop650 | Ubunub1 1 When? I was AFK for a second | 22:08 |
| unop | malocite, ok | 22:09 |
| Jordan_U | Drk_Guy, Don't know | 22:09 |
| ubunub1 | Moptop650: they said to add "1" to the end of your kernel parameters on boot to start single user mode | 22:09 |

| jackstraw | hi, ive got 8.04 and ive just installed apache2 but when i start it it throws up a 'segmentation' error. anyone got any ideas why this is happening? | 22:09 |
| unop | malocite, chmod 750 ~/* | 22:09 |
| malocite | unop: I'm going to write a guide for this after wards :) | 22:10 |
| Drk_Guy | !kernel | 22:10 |
| ubottu | The core of the Ubuntu Operating System is the Linux kernel: see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Kernel - You shouldn't have to compile your own, but if you're convinced you do, see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Kernel/Compile - See also: /msg ubottu stages | 22:10 |
| ubunub1 | Moptop650: when your sitting at the LiveCD menu list. highlight the LiveCD option, and down at the bottom you'll see a bunch of edit...add "single" to the end after nosplash quiet like "quiet splash single" | 22:10 |
| unop | malocite, actually, chmod 750 ~/* ~/.* | 22:10 |
| Drk_Guy | !stages | 22:10 |
| ubottu | The Ubuntu Kernel gets updated in stages. If you have the updated kernel, but do not have the corresponding restricted modules, you may be leaving yourself with no X when you reboot. If you have compiled binary versions of your video driver, eg from the nVidia site, you will need to recompile them for the new kernel. This is normal, and not a bug. | 22:11 |
| sbattey | My synaptics touch pad does not work after a suspend to ram, in ubuntu hardy | 22:11 |
| mado-ka | thank you Jordan_U ... i edited the file as you showed me ... | 22:11 |
| Moptop650 | ubunub1 - There isnt one.. Theres just "Enter something to boot, default is 'Live'" | 22:11 |
| mado-ka | i saved the file Jordan_U... should i restart now? | 22:11 |
| hvgotcodes | when is do an apt-get upgrade its says there are packages that will be kept back but when i click the software update icon it updates them -- how do i do it from the command line? | 22:11 |
| malocite | unop: Uhoh , can't execute /bin/bash: permission denied | 22:11 |
| ubunub1 | Moptop650: k, then look down about 1 inch from bottom of the screen and you'll see a row of text ending with "quiet splash" | 22:11 |
| danand_ | hvgotcodes - you can just apt-get install the packages that are kept back... | 22:12 |
| Moptop650 | ubunub1 - Ok, 1 minute | 22:12 |
| unop | hvgotcodes, those packages are held back because of some conflicts with currently installed packages, you might be able to install them explicitly | 22:12 |
| hvgotcodes | how can i find the conflicts? | 22:12 |
| mado-ka | *waiting* Jordan_U | 22:12 |
| unop | hvgotcodes, aptitude why-not name_of_package_held_back | 22:13 |

| === ubunub1 is now known as Ubunub1 | ||
| Moptop650 | Ubunub1 - Nevermind, I typed live single and it worked :] | 22:13 |
| Moptop650 | Thanks for the help anyways :] | 22:13 |
| hvgotcodes | unop: is there an equivalent apt-get command? | 22:13 |
| unop | hvgotcodes, i don't think so | 22:13 |
| Ubunub1 | Moptop650: lots of ways to do the same thing in linux :P | 22:13 |
| Moptop650 | Yeah.. :) | 22:14 |
| hvgotcodes | ok i just installed and it is running | 22:14 |
| hvgotcodes | can this bork my system? | 22:14 |
| danand_ | hvgotcodes - they may not be held back because of conflicts ... sometimes packages are held back because they now have different (additional) dependancies ... requiring you to install further packages.... apt likes to ask first rather than installing new packages | 22:14 |
| Moptop650 | Would cfdisk /dev/hda let me mess with the actual machine's harddrive? | 22:14 |
| Drk_Guy | Jordan_U, If i compile my kernel, nvidia will still work? | 22:14 |
| mado-ka | Jordan_U: ?? | 22:15 |
| hvgotcodes | danand_: thanx | 22:15 |
| unop | hvgotcodes, possibly -- but you must pay attention to the warnings apt throws at you | 22:15 |
| hvgotcodes | unop: when i tried an upgrade it just says the following packages will be kept back | 22:16 |
| danand_ | hvgotcodes - just run apt-get -s install held_back_packages to see what it will do. used to have this problem on my old debian machine ... | 22:16 |

| Zamadatx | how do i get google earth for ubuntu? | 22:37 |
| MatBoy | pvl1: using a scrip that goes into every dir and does the things you normally have to do manually | 22:37 |
| malocite | pvl1: You can specify the mount points, yeah | 22:37 |
| MatBoy | SVN install | 22:37 |
| Zamadatx | i went to google and it said for linux but i can find where can only find the bin file | 22:37 |
| TheCharmingboy | HELP | 22:37 |

| pvl1 | malocite, never knew that, idk how it does that, but the option tells u if its make a swap, and it typically would, otherwise u can just do it after an install. swap isnt even too neccessary if u have a lot of ram | 22:38 |
| TheCharmingboy | But it says: Username or Password is incorrect, and I can't log in | 22:38 |

| pvl1 | dunas, np | 22:39 |
| TheCharmingboy | Hello? | 22:39 |
| TheCharmingboy | Please? | 22:39 |
| babba | pvl1, obviously.. but what should i write there.. because XP mbr's wants the HD to be first (but it's second because of USB that is first) | 22:39 |
| pvl1 | MatBoy, you should be able to find it in there to change the paths, but i mean like u dont ahve to deal with that using awn | 22:39 |

| Neulingg | spiderfire:why does the 7.10 work thats what i dont understand | 23:00 |
| pvl1 | stapel, hm, i dont think thats a problem with the hardware, have u tried anything else? | 23:00 |
| Jordan_U | Candale, I don't know but never do that while connected to the internet | 23:00 |
| DreamBoat | lol i am trying to convert but if i cant get my EverQuest to work i will have to just dule boot | 23:00 |
| pvl1 | stapel, oh | 23:00 |
| mado-ka | Jordan_U: ... what do i have to do? | 23:00 |
| mado-ka | is "envyng" a package? | 23:00 |
| glitsj16 | Candale: that's very unusual .. what doesn't work 'correctly' if started a regular user ? | 23:00 |
| spiderfire | Neulingg: then theres no more to say except play with the f keys to get in with a safe mode, vga, vesa, laptop display. whateverr it is that wont load | 23:00 |
| querent | DreamBoat: what have you tried? | 23:01 |
| Jordan_U | Candale, Have you tried renaming your .mozilla folder to go back to default settings? | 23:01 |
| querent | wine? | 23:01 |
| GuyFromHell | actually, this could be a fun game to play with my mouse. i launch it from the bottom right and hit the button i want to. | 23:01 |
| mavsman4457 | Can anyone help me trying to mount my external hard drive? | 23:01 |
| DreamBoat | yeah, and I am trying to get rc1 but when wine updates, it goes right to 1.1.1 | 23:01 |
| Neulingg | spiderfire: i tried to boot to the safe mode and it didnt work :(. | 23:01 |
| Candale | when I start it the reg way It doesn't open to a home page at all and I do not get any of my settings | 23:01 |
| pvl1 | GuyFromHell, its a gameboy! | 23:01 |
| stapel | pvl1, it seems like such a basic task, but yet there does not seem to be an easy way of doing it | 23:01 |
| Candale | I havn't tried renaming my .mozilla folder. I will try that | 23:01 |
| Jordan_U | mado-ka, Not sure if it will help, but install envyng from synaptic / apt then use it ( Applications -> System Tolls I think ) to install the newest nvidia drivers | 23:02 |
| DreamBoat | querent: I can get the launcher up but then it just vanishes | 23:02 |
| pvl1 | stapel, yes i understand, i tihnk i found a howto, just gimme sec | 23:02 |
| fbianconi | Neulingg: does it gives any message or the display bink in a funny way? | 23:02 |
| stapel | pvl1, thanx | 23:02 |
| mado-ka | there is no "envyng"-package in synaptic! Jordan_U | 23:02 |
| Neulingg | fbianconi: well i heqr just clicking and then it stops to boot | 23:03 |
| Neulingg | fbianconi: i try to burn it again | 23:03 |
| spiderfire | Neulingg: and what i tell you? | 23:03 |
| querent | don't know. I'm probably not the one to be talking to, actually. found this: http://www.linuxforums.org/forum/linux-newbie/24494-winex-everquest.html | 23:04 |
| Candale | Jordan_U, That worked. Thanks a ton. I have been stewing on this for quite a while. | 23:04 |
| mado-ka | do you mean "nvidia-glx-envy" ?? Jordan_U | 23:04 |
| jchaoul | Pici: I am learning and experimenting. Far as I can tell Cocoa was derived from NEXTstep 4.0. GNUstep is also derived from nextstep 4.0 and they supposively added much of the support for cocoa. apt-get install GNUstep is all it took. It installed sample .apps that ran native on the X desktop, I almost fell over. Yahoo_mac is yahoomessenger for mac. I downloaded it and ran through a GPL util dmg2img. | 23:04 |
| Jordan_U | mado-ka, No, envyng-gtk | 23:04 |
| pvl1 | stapel, have u tried efax? | 23:04 |
| Jordan_U | Candale, np | 23:04 |
| stapel | pvl1, no not yet | 23:05 |
| pvl1 | stapel, i mean this could be a last resort here: http://www.vmware.com/appliances/directory/216 | 23:05 |
| stapel | is it in synaptyc? | 23:05 |
| mado-ka | ok ... thanks Jordan_U | 23:05 |
| pvl1 | stapel, also what are you using to send it, open office? | 23:05 |

| will00 | im using proftpd and i have to access the server over a set non default port. however i want my friends to be able to access the same server over the default port. do i have to get two seperate domain names or can i just set up two servers on different ports? | 23:05 |
| jchaoul | wy not? | 23:06 |
| jchaoul | Pici: why not? | 23:06 |
| pvl1 | will00, is it a standard proftpd install from synaptic? | 23:06 |
| will00 | pvl1 yes | 23:06 |
| stapel | pvl1, I have it installed, but frontend do I use with it? | 23:06 |
| pvl1 | will00, get gproftpd. its a nice gui (frontend) to it | 23:06 |
| will00 | pvl1, thats what iv been using | 23:07 |
| pvl1 | stapel, oi hold on | 23:07 |
| jchaoul | Pici: ell as far as I can tell dmg is an apple hfsplus zlib compressed image file. the util simply uncompresses it. Its still an hfsplus image file if I'm reading everything correctly | 23:07 |
| pvl1 | will00, oh it can set up 2 servers no prob | 23:07 |
| Pici | jchaoul: I dont know, it just doesnt sound like it would work to me. | 23:07 |
| pvl1 | stapel, efax-gtk | 23:07 |
| will00 | pvl1 yes i know it can, but can it do it to the same domain? | 23:07 |
| jchaoul | Pici: there is a mac shell util that works exactly the same as dmg2img switches and all, the same is just different | 23:07 |
| pvl1 | will00, different ports yes, on the other hand uc an set up different dir per user | 23:08 |
| jchaoul | the name is diff sorry | 23:08 |
| will00 | ok | 23:08 |

| tylere | Having a big problem with HH. Installing using the altervative CD (for lvm2). Installation appeared to go fine but it evidently did not install a boot loader. The machine *will not* boot. Not getting a lilo/grub error, just NOTHING. | 23:11 |
| FAJALOU | tylere: do you have another computer that can burn a disk? | 23:11 |
| pvl1 | tylere, ur gonna need a live cd to fix grub | 23:11 |
| FAJALOU | or super grub disk | 23:11 |
| pvl1 | FAJALOU, whats that? | 23:11 |
| FAJALOU | pvl1: basically what it does is it tries to find grub on your machine, and reinstall it or fix it. | 23:12 |
| FAJALOU | you can also have it find the MBR (what windows uses) and use that one, | 23:12 |
| pvl1 | FAJALOU, oh wow i never knew about that, ive just told ppl to use the live cd to fix grub | 23:12 |
| Jordan_U | jchaoul, I think that some DMGs ( like image backups of a system ) contain HFS+ volumes but not all | 23:13 |
| pvl1 | FAJALOU, which has the problem of mounting the filesystem with write permission | 23:13 |
| Ximal | would anyone know how to detect and install a dvd reader/writer with lightscribe ? or is that windows only compatible ? | 23:13 |

| pvl1 | FAJALOU, i must start telling ppl to use that | 23:14 |
| pvl1 | FAJALOU, ty | 23:14 |
| FAJALOU | pvl1: np, it's really nice, but a little confusing at first. | 23:14 |

| mado | i can't tell you how happy i am! | 23:15 |
| pvl1 | stapel, have to reboot, ill bbs | 23:15 |
| Mecha25 | I can do alt+ctrl+f2/3/4 etc and get a terminal, but from there I have to reboot | 23:15 |
| mado | is there anything left to do? Jordan_U? | 23:15 |

| smallfoot- | why dont ubuntu scrap that "linux for human being" bs, the brown theme, and get a normal name with a nice theme, and compile it for i686 instead of 386 | 23:16 |

| smallfoot- | Mecha25, yeah, but it still slow 386, instead of have 686 | 23:16 |
| FAJALOU | mado: some config files get messed with with envy-ng and it is hard to work around, if you can find a better option, it is normally better to do so, but if it works yay! :) | 23:16 |
| Mecha25 | um... I don't notice a difference, it's a ton faster than windows ever was for me | 23:16 |

| pvl1 | Mecha25, well i have a pretty splash and it didnt show that it as doing a check | 23:22 |
| pvl1 | Mecha25, but eh, computer works | 23:22 |
| Jordan_U | pvl1, Ahh, the default splash in hardy should show it | 23:23 |
| zod21 | hey anyone know how to make your own channel | 23:23 |

| pvl1 | Jordan_U, yea i know, but that isnt as impressive | 23:23 |

Is there any way to provide more memory for the process or am I hitting a hard limit here? | 23:42 |

| Jordan_U | scorp2025, Do you have a swap partition / file ? | 23:43 |
| Dr_willis | wickedjester, edit the /boot/grub/menu.lst file and put a proper entry for it. One is in the examples for windows on hda1 | 23:44 |

| Gothfunc- | hi. i have just setup an ldap server and installed ldap-auth-client and followed the steps. is that all that should be needed? how do i test it? reboot and login? | 23:44 |
| scorp2025 | Jordan_U: yeah, but it's rather small (1GB). | 23:45 |
| scorp2025 | Jordan_U: shall i increase its size? | 23:46 |
| Jordan_U | scorp2025, You could try making a swap file but what program are you using that needs that much ram, there may be a better alternative for large files | 23:46 |
| FAJALOU | scorp2025: it's a general rule to have your swap be double your RAM, but if your RAM is like 16 gbs then just increase | 23:46 |
| mano | hi# | 23:46 |
| FAJALOU | !hi | mano | 23:46 |
| ubottu | mano: Hi! Welcome to #ubuntu! | 23:46 |
| mano | anyone know about riinetd | 23:46 |
| Cynical_ | there must be something wrong with my internet connection. I can't get a single file to finish downloading | 23:47 |
| === braden_ is now known as zod21 | ||
| mano | thanks ubottu | 23:47 |
| nano_ | FAJALOU: the rule that swap = 2xram is outdate | 23:47 |
| nano_ | d | 23:47 |
| mano | ok my problem is this basically | 23:47 |
| scorp2025 | Jordan_U: Do have an alternative program, which also capable of creating a pdf from jpgs? convert from imagemagick is even worse... | 23:47 |
| FAJALOU | nano: then what should it be? | 23:47 |
| sume | I'm trying to associate bittorrent files with utorrent/wine.. is that possible? | 23:48 |

| mano | i have a web server running on a machine and want to redirest requests to that webserver to another webserver using rinetd | 23:48 |
| CyberCod | anyone tell me what I gotta do? | 23:48 |
| trinux | Cynical_: when you use wget it can usually resume a download | 23:48 |
| nano_ | FAJALOU: try the "free" command at numerous times on the terminal....you will find that most of you swap is never used if you have sufficient ram | 23:48 |
| Cynical_ | sume, have you tried Transmission? | 23:48 |
| FAJALOU | nano_: true, | 23:48 |
| mano | anybody? | 23:48 |
| nano_ | FAJALOU: for a laptop...swap should atleast equal the amout of physical ram so that you can hibernate properly | 23:48 |
| Jordan_U | scorp2025, Never used it but you might try sam2p | 23:48 |
| mano | rinetd? | 23:49 |
| mano | anybody used it successfully | 23:49 |

| nano_ | FAJALOU: for a desktop and server use, it really just depends on what type of stuff you are running...however for basic desktop..ram=swap isn't a bad deal (of course assuming that you have a modern system with relatively plenty of ram) | 23:49 |

| Delamundo | Ok, so I am new at ubuntu. I am a long time Windows user, newly converted. ANY suggestions? | 23:50 |
| FAJALOU | nano_: i have it doubled, just in case. | 23:50 |
| Mecha25 | mano, sorry, never heard of rinetd | 23:50 |
| FAJALOU | but yet again, i only have 1gb ram | 23:50 |
| nano_ | FAJALOU: are you on a laptop? | 23:50 |
| Blaqlight | Delamundo, like what? | 23:50 |
| isor | CyberCod, need to open nautlius as root | 23:50 |
| mano | thanks Mecha25 | 23:50 |
| Mecha25 | delamundo, learn the terminal, if you want a long-term goal | 23:51 |
| mano | anybody else | 23:51 |
| glitsj16 | mano: if the servers are apache, you can use mod_rewrite | 23:51 |
| mano | must be someone | 23:51 |
| mano | i know | 23:51 |
| Mecha25 | mano, you have tried googling the problem, yes? | 23:51 |
| FAJALOU | nano no desktop | 23:51 |
| glitsj16 | k | 23:51 |
| gavi | found the answer gnome-terminal | 23:51 |
| mano | but i wan to be able to redirect other services too | 23:51 |
| mano | many times | 23:51 |
| Delamundo | any suggestions would be benificial. I am a newbie, as I have said. | 23:51 |
| mano | i done everything | 23:51 |
| mano | just for some reason doesnt work | 23:51 |
| Blaqlight | anyone installed GDM themes successfully before? | 23:51 |
| Mecha25 | delamundo: linux is what you make of it, if you want it to be good, you have to be willing to make it that way yourself | 23:52 |
| nano_ | FAJALOU: how much ram do you have? | 23:52 |
| PorkSoda | All*, Totem, has a bad picture compared to vlc. I had just noticed it per the fresh install of heron. I tried to install totem-xine and set the default backend gstreamer to totem-xine via, sudo update-alternatives --config totem. To no avail. The picture is still bad even though totem does show it is using different codecs. | 23:52 |
| nano_ | Blaqlight: i have, and there isn't anything to it | 23:52 |
| FAJALOU | 1g | 23:52 |
| PorkSoda | How would I use the vlc codecs, and or, anyone know another route to improve totem picture | 23:52 |
| PorkSoda | ? | 23:52 |
| Mecha25 | porksoda: why not just use VLC? | 23:52 |
| Pilkington | oh my god i finally got this thing to work | 23:52 |
| Pilkington | hi! | 23:52 |
| Blaqlight | nano_, ok so how do I then as I haven't. | 23:52 |
| nano_ | FAJALOU: i have 2gigs so swap=ram for me.....yeah with 1gig maybe 2gig swap is a good idea....you can always keep an eye on it with the free command, as i said earlier | 23:52 |
| === braden_ is now known as zod21 | ||
| FAJALOU | true true | 23:53 |
| Mecha25 | pilkington: now you that you've figured out problem A, what's problem B? | 23:53 |
| PorkSoda | Well, I generally use totem because you can simply remove the controls. :) That is a biggie to me hehe | 23:53 |
| joao_ | #ubuntu-br | 23:53 |
| Pilkington | problem B was i have no idea how to use console properly and nowhere i look can help me :S | 23:53 |
| nano_ | Blaqlight: go to a site like http://gnome-look.org and download whatever gdm theme you want, ...then go into SYSTEM->ADMIN->LOGIN WINDOW | 23:53 |
| Mecha25 | porksoda: try F11 in VLC | 23:53 |
| Blaqlight | PorkSoda, agreed | 23:53 |
| nano_ | Blaqlight: and the rest is self-explanatory | 23:53 |
| mano | nobidy then | 23:53 |
| fbianconi | mano: im reading it's manpage, which version are you running? | 23:54 |
| nano_ | Pilkington: what exact problems are you having? | 23:54 |
| glitsj16 | Blaqlight: look at https://help.ubuntu.com/community/UbuntuEyeCandy, it's all explained there | 23:54 |

| === braden_ is now known as zod21 | ||

| PhoenixUK | After installing ubuntu 7.10 i got "GRUB Loading stage 1.5 read error" when trying to boot, I found this solution http://ubuntuforums.org/archive/index.php/t-615668.html , following it when booted from live cd ,but when I try to execute this command "root (hdx,y) setup (hdx) quit" I get message "Error 11: Unrecognized device string", also after doing "gksudo gedit /boot/grub/menu.lst" the file opens but it's empty ? any ideas o | 23:55 |
| atma_ | anyone ? | 23:56 |
| nano_ | Pilkington: just install flash player from Synaptic | 23:56 |
| Pilkington | from what now? 0_o | 23:56 |
| mano | fbianconi: | 23:56 |
| mano | fbianconi: you there | 23:56 |
| AngryElf | where does ubuntu stick locatedb | 23:56 |
| nano_ | Pilkington: just do the following: sudo apt-get install flashplugin-nonfree | 23:56 |
| AngryElf | ? | 23:57 |
| maco | Pilkington: system -> admin -> synaptic | 23:57 |
| Pilkington | uuh | 23:57 |
| maco | Pilkington: choose flashplugin-nonfree | 23:57 |
| Pilkington | which one of those 2 am i doing? :S | 23:57 |
| Pilkington | ok ok | 23:57 |
| Pilkington | give me a second | 23:57 |
| Pilkington | i'm a ubuntu-tard :S | 23:57 |
| PhoenixUK | bump, anyone ? | 23:57 |
| Mecha25 | PorkSoda: try right clicking on the video and selecting FullScreen | 23:57 |
| maco | Pilkington: or applications -> add/remove and choose ubuntu-restricted-extras to get flash, java,etc | 23:57 |
| nano_ | PhoenixUK: the error you are getting is prolly cause your arguments to grub aren't correct ...i.e. (hdX, Y) | 23:58 |
| Pilkington | oh my god.. tell me one thing at a time, i just got 3 things to do from you guys >_< | 23:58 |
| nano_ | PhoenixUK: grub starts numbering drives and partitions from 0...not from 1 like linux does | 23:58 |
| === Barnabas is now known as dIGIT | ||
| Mecha25 | pilkington, any of the 3 will work | 23:58 |
| PorkSoda | Mecha25, Yea, that works, but I like to keep the vid small without controls while I'm working. | 23:58 |
| PorkSoda | And the like | 23:58 |
| PhoenixUK | uhm what should I do then ? | 23:58 |
| maco | Pilkington: when he said to install it from synaptic, the first thing i said was just an explanation of his answer | 23:58 |
| Mecha25 | PorkSoda, oh, you need a skin | 23:58 |
| nano_ | PhoenixUK: so if you are trying to install grub on 1st partition of 1st harddisk...you would do setup(hd0,0) | 23:58 |
| PhoenixUK | o did that | 23:59 |
| mano | rinetd | 23:59 |
| maco | Pilkington: the second thing i said was a way of getting flash, java, audio/video codecs, and bunches else all at once if you'd rather skip the hassle of all those separate thigns | 23:59 |
| glitsj16 | AngryElf: i believe the default is at /var/lib/mlocate/mlocate.db | 23:59 |
| PhoenixUK | I*, lemme check the message again | 23:59 |
| PorkSoda | Sounds like a route I need to go. Shame I can't get totem working %100 | 23:59 |
| PorkSoda | or %98.3432 | 23:59 |
| Enanito | hello | 23:59 |
| Pilkington | ok, it's downloading something =/ | 23:59 |
| nano_ | Pilkington: when it comes to flash...just go to youtube and firefox 3.0 will auto-detect and fire up synaptic automatically for you....its takes care of it pretty good... | 23:59 |
| Mecha25 | PorkSoda, I can get VLC controlless, in a sec | 23:59 |
