| Enanito | I really need some assistance installing my video drivers... Ive been following every single tutorial on google and still not getting to make my ati mobility radeon 9000 video card to work | 00:00 |
| Pilkington | and yes, i went to youtube and it sent me to adobe | 00:00 |
| Pilkington | where i had to pick one of 3 different files >_< | 00:00 |
| jamus | is it possible to make a 3d cube (6 windows)in advanced desktop effects? | 00:00 |
| mano | anybody know about rinetd | 00:00 |
| nano_ | Pilkington: just do the following: sudo apt-get install flashplugin-nonfree | 00:00 |
| FAJALOU | Enanito: you have looked in hardware drivers? | 00:00 |
| Enanito | and when i get to restricted drivers there is no ati driver to select | 00:00 |
| Enanito | yes fajalou | 00:00 |
| maco | Pilkington: dont use adobe's way | 00:00 |
| Harley^ | Howdy. I installed UbuntuStudio earlier today and when I attempt to compile a program, I get the following message;checking whether the C compiler (gcc ) works... no. NEXT LINE: configure: error: installation or configuration problem: C compiler cannot create executables. | 00:01 |
| Pilkington | i have no idea what sudo is =/ | 00:01 |
| nano_ | Enanito: go to ati website and dload the latest drivers for your hardware | 00:01 |
| Pilkington | but i downloaded it from somewhere else you told me to go to | 00:01 |
| maco | Pilkington: and what nano just said is the command line way to do the synaptic thing | 00:01 |
| Pilkington | synaptic or something | 00:01 |
| Enanito | i did it pilkington | 00:01 |
| acrousey | hi | 00:01 |
| Pilkington | i think i did it, but i'm going checking >_< | 00:01 |
| Pilkington | byb | 00:01 |
| PhoenixUK | nano_ oh it didnt give me any error this time writing setup(hd0,0) but nothing's happening, what should be my next step ? sorry to bother you mate : ) | 00:01 |
| FAJALOU | Enanito: what about envyng? | 00:01 |
| Pilkington | brb* | 00:01 |
| maco | Pilkington: a lot of us like the command line way of doing things because we find it faster | 00:01 |
| Enanito | Fajalou: I tried envy and it works if i login in safe mode... but on regular mode it takes me back to the login screen | 00:01 |
| kyncani | Harley^: wht do you need to compile ?? | 00:01 |
| kyncani | Harley^: why do you need to compile ?? | 00:01 |
| acrousey | i plan on putting Ubuntu Server on an old Compaq Presario... still running Windows ME | 00:02 |
| Pilkington | ok ok.. i did that synaptic thing, and clicked to install flashplayer, i got 9 files, now what? :S | 00:02 |
| acrousey | anything I should do with that? | 00:02 |
| Pilkington | i checked youtube and it doesn't work >_< | 00:02 |
| Enanito | now when i do the fglrxinfo it says it is mesa not ati... my xorg.conf is empty too | 00:02 |
| Mecha25 | PorkSoda, got it. you need to go into the preferences window, under Interfaces, Main Interface, WXWidgets (near the bottom) and turn off Embed Video in Interface | 00:02 |
| nano_ | PhoenixUK: well just follow the same instructions to the post in that link you posted...except make sure that you have your numbering scheme correct. | 00:02 |
| Harley^ | kyncani - A program that is NOT in the repository and NOT in synaptic. Its home built | 00:02 |
| maco | Pilkington: restart firefox first | 00:02 |
| Pilkington | i did :S | 00:02 |
| PorkSoda | Mecha25, Haha, yea. Just found that out :) | 00:02 |
| Bradj47 | im having screen resolution problems | 00:02 |
| Mecha25 | pilkington, you need to wait for it to install the files | 00:02 |
| kyncani | Harley^: all right then. You may take a look at build-essential | 00:02 |
| jamus | Pilkington: just dl the nonfree flash and disable any othr (likee genash) couse they will clash | 00:02 |
| Pilkington | it did as far as i was aware =/ | 00:02 |
| PorkSoda | Mecha25, Thanks, that does help | 00:03 |
| Harley^ | kyncani: It compiled without error in Debian Etch | 00:03 |
| Mecha25 | did it say "installation complete"? | 00:03 |
| Pilkington | well, i had no others installed, and i did download the nonfree flash | 00:03 |
| Bradj47 | is there a way i can change the screen resolution of the login screen? | 00:03 |
| FAJALOU | Enanito: i would suggest taking this issue to the ati irc. | 00:03 |
| Mecha25 | PorkSoda: no problem | 00:03 |
| maco | Harley^: you have build-essential installed? | 00:03 |
| Pilkington | the window just closed itself, so i assumed it was complete =/ | 00:03 |
| Enanito | thank you Fajalou | 00:03 |
| nano_ | Pilkington: generally when you are in irc...it would be correct for you to type the name of the person before you write anything to them or else your comments will generally be missed | 00:03 |
| FAJALOU | not sure what it is, but i would guess it is #ati | 00:03 |
| Harley^ | Ah.. yes. Build essential thats it ! | 00:03 |
| Mecha25 | pilkington, you didn't check the "Download Package Files Only" box did you? | 00:03 |
| jamus | Pilkington: restart browser | 00:03 |
| Pilkington | jamus, i did | 00:03 |
| nano_ | FAJALOU: but #ati might be crowded by windows users and he won't be able to get any help | 00:03 |
| Pilkington | mecha, i didn't click anything other than to install i think :S | 00:04 |
| Pilkington | nano, ok | 00:04 |
| jamus | Pilkington: restart? | 00:04 |
| Mecha25 | oh! you did hit apply, right? | 00:04 |
| Pilkington | jamus.. i did :S | 00:04 |
| FAJALOU | nano_: true, do you have any suggestions on what to do though/ | 00:04 |
| AngryElf | so, updatedb isn't finishing correctly -- I guess it's hanging at some point, any ideas on fixing that | 00:04 |
| jamus | wait a sec | 00:04 |
| Pilkington | oh wait.. the computer or just firefox? | 00:04 |
| maco | Pilkington: FF | 00:04 |
| nano_ | FAJALOU: when he went to ati site there should be linux install options...please post the link. | 00:04 |
| Pilkington | maco, ? | 00:05 |
| Mecha25 | should be just firefox, if you want a guaranteed solution, go to Add/Remove Programs in your applications menu, and select Ubuntu Restricted Extras. Then hit apply. | 00:05 |
| FAJALOU | Enanito: did you hear nano/ | 00:05 |
| Pilkington | mecha, ok i'll try that next | 00:05 |
| maco | Pilkington: ff = firefox | 00:05 |
| Mecha25 | you can use the box at the top of the window to search | 00:05 |
| Enanito | sorry | 00:05 |
| kyncani | AngryElf: how about running it yourself, see if it hangs, and if it does, look into /proc/??/fd/ where it's hanging ? | 00:05 |
| Enanito | yeah i got into #ati | 00:05 |
| Enanito | but no one answers | 00:05 |
| FAJALOU | when he went to ati site there should be l | 00:05 |
| jamus | Pilkington: pls use this url and see if it tells u smtng like ''plugins needed'' | 00:05 |
| FAJALOU | Enanito: when he went to ati site there should be linux install options...please post the link. | 00:06 |
| acrousey | hi, How do I boot ubuntu onto an older windows computer? | 00:06 |
| jamus | Pilkington: http://www.wgalil.ac.il | 00:06 |
| Enanito | ok thank you | 00:06 |
| nano_ | Enanito: looking at the ati.amd site....it seems that you have to select your OS and you specific hardware to get a driver...after this you hit "GO" and you get a *.run file....this is an linux executable....so d/load this and run it as root (i would imagine). | 00:06 |
| acrousey | just put in the disc? | 00:06 |
| Enanito | I tried it too | 00:06 |
| Enanito | made deb packages | 00:06 |
| Pilkington | jamus, it says "plugins needed" | 00:06 |
| Enanito | and installed them | 00:06 |
| Enanito | but it didnt work | 00:06 |
| Enanito | after rebooting it started as a "vesa" driver | 00:06 |
| jamus | Pilkington: its college site that uses flash i check with it after every instalation | 00:06 |
| kyncani | acrousey: yep, and make sure cdrom booting is enabled in bios | 00:07 |
| Enanito | even tho i modify it after in xorg.conf | 00:07 |
| acrousey | bios? | 00:07 |
| AngryElf | kyncani: what am I looking for there? there are 6 symlinks numbered 0-5 | 00:07 |
| wickedjester | can anyone help me get windows in my grub menu plz | 00:07 |
| nano_ | Enanito: what is the name of the ati-linux driver that you want to use | 00:07 |
| jamus | Pilkington: click on flash win and dl plugin ''nonfree | 00:07 |
| acrousey | kyncani: bios? | 00:07 |
| AngryElf | kyncani: the last two are / | 00:07 |
| jamus | Pilkington: click on flash win and dl plugin ''nonfree'' | 00:07 |
| kyncani | AngryElf: ls -l | 00:07 |
| nano_ | Enanito: "vesa" driver is basic linux provided, non ati driver. | 00:07 |
| PhoenixUK | nano_ Checking if "/boot/grub/stage1" exists... yes | 00:07 |
| PhoenixUK | Checking if "/boot/grub/stage2" exists... yes | 00:07 |
| PhoenixUK | Checking if "/boot/grub/e2fs_stage1_5" exists... yes | 00:07 |
| PhoenixUK | Running "embed /boot/grub/e2fs_stage1_5 (hd0)"... 17 sectors are embedded. | 00:07 |

| FloodBot3 | PhoenixUK: Please don't flood, use http://paste.ubuntu.com to paste, don't use Enter as punctuation. | 00:07 |
| PhoenixUK | Error 22: No such partition | 00:08 |
| jamus | Pilkington: then restart browser | 00:08 |
| jamus | Pilkington: should work | 00:08 |
| askand | Where can I download latest language XPI:s for Firefox? | 00:08 |
| AngryElf | kyncani: right, there are 6 symlinks /dev/pts/1, /var/lib/mlocate/mlocate.db and two links to '/' | 00:08 |
| Enanito | nano: but is there a way to install it | 00:08 |
| michelecs | Hi guys. Why my us_intl keyboard will not type '«' and '»' unless I modify some extra disposal settings and set them back as original? | 00:08 |
| acrousey | what is "Bios" | 00:08 |
| Enanito | nano: i tried everything step by step believe me | 00:08 |
| Pilkington | oh score, it works :D | 00:09 |
| kyncani | AngryElf: yeah, now that i think of it, these will tell you about opened files, not about directories ... | 00:09 |
| Pilkington | that add/remove programs thingy worked | 00:09 |
| Pilkington | thanks guys :D | 00:09 |
| nano_ | Enanito: post your /etc/X11/xorg.conf file to a pastesite so i can see | 00:09 |
| Harley^ | that works ! danke | 00:09 |
| PhoenixUK | nano_ http://paste.ubuntu.com/27158/ thats what i got | 00:09 |
| acrousey | kyncani: what is a "Bios" | 00:09 |
| Pilkington | ubuntu is confusing 0_o atleast it has good community support | 00:09 |
| AngryElf | kyncani: didn'd know about that anyways, so I learned something :) | 00:09 |
| kyncani | AngryElf: All right, you could also try a big "find /" and see if it's hanging somewhere | 00:09 |
| Mecha25 | pilkington: it is until you get used to it, then it's amazing | 00:09 |
| nano_ | PhoenixUK: I don't know exactly what your setup is...but your earlier problem was due to incorrect number usage...i still think that you are not providing the proper argument | 00:09 |
| Mecha25 | pilkington: until then, that's what this room's for | 00:09 |
| Enanito | nano: thats another problem | 00:09 |
| Enanito | nano: it is empty | 00:10 |
| octal | michelecs: what do you mean/ | 00:10 |
| Enanito | my xorg.conf is totally empty | 00:10 |
| jamus | Pilkington: ur welcome pls do come by whenu get to know stuff and help others | 00:10 |
| Mecha25 | Enanito: that is a problem... | 00:10 |
| cellfish | hey guys, i know this is against linux philosophy in general but does any know if there is any progress toward blu-ray / hd-dvd playability in ubuntu that would not require ripping (pop in the disc and it works)% | 00:10 |
| pepe__ | is there any way to view my file on a usb ntfs mounted disk from ubuntu | 00:10 |
| Pilkington | ooh, another question, jamus | 00:10 |
| Enanito | mecha25: yeah it is haha | 00:10 |
| glitsj16 | askand: are you looking for the locales ? if so, check synaptic for entrees starting with mozilla-firefox-locale | 00:10 |
| PhoenixUK | uhm, well I just follow what you've told me : ) and what's in that post, but it doesnt seem to work | 00:10 |
| kyncani | acrousey: you should google for it, keywords like bios boot cdrom. You may take a look for bios in wikipedia. As a side note, if you don't know what a bios is, ubuntu may not be your up of tea | 00:10 |
| AngryElf | kyncani: find hangs as well ( | 00:10 |
| nano_ | Enanito: do you currently have graphics? | 00:10 |
| Pilkington | why is it so quiet? i have volume turned to max on everything, master, youtube, my little speaker dial, and it's like what i would expect from windows at 30% :S | 00:11 |
| kyncani | AngryElf: yep, but now you should see where it's hanging | 00:11 |
| acrousey | it's all about the learning | 00:11 |
| nano_ | PhoenixUK: paste sudo fdisk -l | 00:11 |
| jamus | Pilkington: bios is hardware soft that come with every board to help configure things on it | 00:11 |
| michelecs | octal: when I star Ubuntu my keyboard will not type all the characters (eg. « and »). It will do if I pretend I modify the extra settings (like Euro sign on '5' and so on). | 00:11 |
| maco | acrousey: well BIOS stands for Basic Input/Output System, but it's configuration is what you reach when you press F2 (or whatever your comp tells you to) for Setup right when the Dell/HP/Compaq/whatever screen comes up | 00:11 |
| Mecha25 | double click on the volume/speaker icon in your upper right corner of your screen | 00:11 |
| Pilkington | jamus.. i have no idea what you just said | 00:11 |
| pepe__ | :( | 00:11 |
| jamus | Pilkington: *every motherboard | 00:11 |
| Enanito | nano: yes... as i mentioned before... i tried with envyng, it seems to installed it.. but i can login just in safemode... in regular mode it takes me back to the login screen... then if i try fglrxinfo it says i have a mesa driver.. and my xorg.conf is empty | 00:11 |
| Mecha25 | Pilkington: Double click on your volume icon in the top right hand corner of the screen | 00:11 |
| maco | kyncani: hey my mom has no idea what a bios is, but she loves ubuntu...says it's easier than windows | 00:11 |
| Pilkington | aye | 00:11 |
| octal | michelecs: does it behave like a a normal US keyboard? Do you have dead keys? Or does it partially behave as us_intl? | 00:12 |
| Mecha25 | pilkington: it should give you a bunch of volume controls, be careful, you can blow your speakers if you max everything | 00:12 |
| Pilkington | they're all on max =/ | 00:12 |
| kyncani | maco: your mom did not install ubuntu and you're troubleshooting it for her | 00:12 |
| Mecha25 | have you checked all tabs? | 00:12 |
| PhoenixUK | nano_ http://paste.ubuntu.com/27159/ | 00:12 |
| Pilkington | it's like 30% of what i get at max normally :< | 00:12 |
| Pilkington | all tabs, apart from line in | 00:12 |
| acrousey | thanks all | 00:12 |
| maco | kyncani: i installed it, yes, but i haven't had to do troubleshooting as there's been no trouble :) | 00:12 |
| will00 | im looking to leave a music server behind for college. and im looking for a program to automatically tag them as they are added to the server. is there something like that? | 00:13 |
| nano_ | Enanito: mesa is a standard - non accelerated - linux video driver... | 00:13 |
| === Bradj47 is now known as B47|away | ||
| maco | kyncani: that's why she's running ubuntu. because if she was running windows, there would be trouble to shoot | 00:13 |
| Mecha25 | Pilkington, go to System -> Preferences -> sound in your menu | 00:13 |
| nano_ | Enanito: if you have any sort of graphics then its not possible for /etc/X11/xorg.conf to be empty....are you sure you have read rights to this file? | 00:13 |
| Enanito | nano: and under restricted drivers i dont have an option to select ati video. | 00:13 |
| === mac-p200 is now known as macgyverdgi | ||
| Pilkington | mecha, i'm there :D | 00:13 |
| kyncani | maco: i can understand that you do not want to repair windows boxes ;) | 00:14 |
| Enanito | nano: yeah... i tried also with sudo cat /etc/X11/xorg.conf and it is empty | 00:14 |
| Mecha25 | See if there's any better options under Device, near the bottom of the window | 00:14 |
| nano_ | PhoenixUK: what partition are you trying to install inux. | 00:14 |
| maco | kyncani: the only troubleshooting has been hardware "uh, mum, you're video card will be dead, probably within the next year" | 00:14 |
| nano_ | PhoenixUK: *linux | 00:14 |
| PhoenixUK | any, doesnt matter | 00:14 |
| askand | glitsj16: that does not help since todays update :( | 00:14 |
| Pilkington | mecha, there are 5 options :S | 00:14 |
| michelecs | octal: I have dead keys my keyboard setting in Gnome is "USA international with dead keys". for example I can type "á ñ ö" and so on. | 00:14 |
| Mecha25 | Pilkington: any of them say ALSA Mixer in parentheses? | 00:15 |
| PhoenixUK | damn that looks messy, didnt know it made so many partitions.... never had so much troubles with it | 00:15 |
| === dymas is now known as meilannY | ||
| Pilkington | aye, the one i'm on now | 00:15 |
| AngryElf | how do I force fsck to run next time I boot? | 00:15 |
| === meilannY is now known as maylani | ||
| Pilkington | mecha, it says "HDA NVidia (Alsa Mixer)" | 00:15 |
| Flannel | AngryElf: sudo touch /forcefsck | 00:15 |
| Mecha25 | hm... check your speaker wiring, or it might just be a quiet youtube video | 00:15 |
| jamus | Pilkington: when u boot up u get ''press del for setup'' smtng like that (f2 in some pc's)-- thats Bios | 00:15 |
| kyncani | maco: there will be troubleshooting at some point, trust me on that one | 00:15 |
| Pilkington | no no, i was listening to this this morning on windows | 00:15 |
| octal | michelecs: oh, sorry. I have a different problem, then. | 00:16 |
| nano_ | PhoenixUK: there are 2 ways you can install grub on a driver...first one is to go into grubshell. and do setup..root and all that stuff..........another option, which i prefer to use is grub-install from linux command linux..."grub-install" does a lot of things for you automatically...the only thing you need to do is provide it with (hdX) of the harddisk you are trying to install it upon. | 00:16 |
| maco | kyncani: it's been 20 months | 00:16 |
| === maylani is now known as maylanni | ||
| Mecha25 | Pilkington, OH! in the window you got when you double clicked on your volume icon, go to Edit Preferences | 00:16 |
| xTOGx | hello | 00:16 |
| Pilkington | this is bjork when she went batshit-crazy.. my neighbours should be deaf >_< | 00:16 |
| nano_ | PhoenixUK: please post your /boot/grub/menu.lst file | 00:16 |
| kyncani | maco: try some years | 00:16 |
| Pilkington | mecha, i'm here 0_o | 00:16 |
| Mecha25 | Pilkington: are all boxes checked? | 00:16 |
| maco | kyncani: itll be 2 years this thanksgiving. actually it's 2 years for me today! | 00:16 |
| Pilkington | mecha, about half of them are | 00:16 |
| Mecha25 | check them all, you'll get more volume controls, one of them should be abnormally low | 00:17 |
| Pilkington | 0_o | 00:17 |
| jamus | Pilkington: if u r on laptop or desk pc with multimedia keys pls check u didnt mute | 00:17 |
| kyncani | maco: and i'm sure there has been things a windows user would not have handled | 00:17 |
| Pilkington | jamus, i don't have multimedia keys :P | 00:17 |
| maco | kyncani: um until i used ubuntu i was a windows user... | 00:17 |
| maco | kyncani: certainly not a mac user...ugh | 00:17 |
| Pilkington | mecha, 3 of my sliders are on full, all the others are at 0% :S | 00:18 |
| Mecha25 | Pilkington: it's designed so you can turn off ones that don't work, or that you don't need, but a bit too many are turned off by default. turn them all on, then check the volumes that appear in the main pane. well turn them up then | 00:18 |
| === dymas is now known as maylanY | ||
| glitsj16 | askand: someone asked a similar question, after installing the recent firefox updates he got it solved by creating a new profile for firefox .. | 00:18 |
| === maylanY is now known as melanY | ||
| maco | kyncani: so um i was a windows user, and i handled them, so umm.....what's your point? | 00:18 |
| Pilkington | mecha, what is the "LFE" channel? 0_o | 00:18 |
| nano_ | Enanito: if you really don't have a xorg.conf file....i guess what i would do is try to reconfigure X from square 1...you can do this by issuing....."dpkg-reconfigure xorg" as root | 00:18 |
| maco | kyncani: i think most of the knowledgeable people in here were windows users at one point | 00:18 |
| xxschwartzxx1 | i need someone who knows how to install ubuntu onto an external hard drive to help me out.. | 00:18 |
| crimsun | Pilkington: bass (low frequency) | 00:18 |
| Pilkington | crim, thanks | 00:18 |
| askand | glitsj16: hm thanks ill try that | 00:18 |
| maco | xxschwartzxx1: whats the issue? | 00:19 |
| crimsun | Pilkington: normally reserved for multichannel's subwoofer | 00:19 |
| Enanito | nano: I did and what it does is that it gives me a vesa driver again... even though i configure an Ati | 00:19 |
| Pilkington | OH MY GOD | 00:19 |
| Pilkington | i think i'm deaf | 00:19 |
| Mecha25 | Pilkington: told you to be careful, lol | 00:19 |
| Pilkington | mecha/crim thanks :P | 00:19 |
| xxschwartzxx1 | maco: i just need to know exactly what to do, i just burned the ubuntu iso to my cd, and i am ready to install | 00:19 |
| kyncani | maco: i don't have any point, but if some guy does not know what a bios is, does not look for the information, and you still advise him to install ubuntu, then you support him | 00:19 |
| Mecha25 | Pilkington: hope your speakers survived | 00:19 |
| Pilkington | i think i need hearing aids now >_< | 00:19 |
| nano_ | Enanito:okay now you should have an /etc/X11/xorg.conf file | 00:19 |
| jamus | kyncani: win is nice but linux is nicer more personal and better all in all for pll who actually work ith pcs (like server stuff ) | 00:20 |
| maco | kyncani: i didnt know what a BIOS was when i started, hun. not like i needed to touch it to install ubuntu | 00:20 |
| Pilkington | ok, thanks very much guys :D | 00:20 |
| nano_ | Enanito: i can't help you configure your X without this file....i don't know how you can have graphics and not have this file....believe me, it is impossible for X to run without this file!! | 00:20 |
| Enanito | nano: ok ill do it right now :) thank you really | 00:20 |
| Mecha25 | Pilkington: no problem, come bac anytime or post on the forums | 00:20 |
| kyncani | jamus: yep, sure is :) | 00:20 |
| nano_ | Enanito: and somehow you are running X without this file...i'm not sure....no prob. | 00:20 |

| Enanito | nano: that will be xserver-xorg right? | 00:21 |
| Pilkington | and thanks jamus too ^_^ | 00:21 |
| maco | xxschwartzxx1: just boot from the CD and when it gets to the partitioning step, make sure you choose your external drive. when you get to the confirmation step at the end, hit the "Advanced" button and tell it hda(1,0) (assuming you have only 1 internal and 1 external) | 00:21 |
| PhoenixUK | nano_ that doesnt tell me much, damn im so terrible heh... | 00:21 |
| kyncani | maco: but you do know now what a bios is, right ? | 00:21 |
| Enanito | nano: because nothing happens with dpkg-reconfigure xorg | 00:21 |
| nano_ | PhoenixUK: xorg | 00:21 |
| nano_ | rather | 00:21 |
| isor | xxschwartzxx1, try this link http://www.pendrivelinux.com/2007/11/13/installing-ubuntu-to-a-usb-hard-drive/ | 00:21 |
| nano_ | Enanito: okay xserver-xorg | 00:21 |
| xxschwartzxx1 | k well wish me luck bbl h[pefully.. | 00:21 |
| maco | kyncani: at some point since i started supporting people here and on ubuntuforums.org, i learned it, yes | 00:21 |
| joshual | hey, firefox (3) is deleting my bookmarks! | 00:21 |
| xxschwartzxx1 | hopefully* | 00:21 |
| maco | xxschwartzxx1: its a live cd so you can come in here and ask at any point if you're not sure what to do during install | 00:22 |
| jamus | Pilkington: practice makes perfection ---- or at least a lil better ;) | 00:22 |
| glitsj16 | askand: seems to be a new bug --> https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/firefox-3.0/+bug/248204 .. no fix yet i'm afraid | 00:22 |
| ubottu | Launchpad bug 248204 in firefox-3.0 "Firefox 3.0.1 not compatible with language packs" [Undecided,Confirmed] | 00:22 |
| nano_ | PhoenixUK: sorry, that was not intended for you....i get a lil confused trying to help out 2 ppl at once..sorry | 00:22 |
| PhoenixUK | nano_ xorg ? | 00:22 |
| xxschwartzxx1 | dont i need to restart though? | 00:22 |
| nano_ | PhoenixUK: yes, and after do xserver-xorg | 00:22 |
| kyncani | maco: so, you were using windows and did not know what a bios is. Now that you're using linux, you do know. Yeah, I'm sure your mom would have loved to know what a bios is ;) | 00:22 |
| nano_ | both need to be reconfigured | 00:22 |
| nano_ | PhoenixUK: make sure you "sudo" | 00:22 |
| maco | xxschwartzxx1: with a live cd, you can use the live system while it's installing | 00:22 |
| maco | kyncani: but that knowledge wasn't necessary to either install or use ubuntu | 00:23 |
| wickedjester | can someone help me get windows in the grub menu please | 00:23 |
| xxschwartzxx1 | maco: ok now im confused... don't i put the cd in, restart, and install? | 00:23 |
| Enanito | nano: i have a xorg.conf right now i will paste the results | 00:23 |
| askand | glitsj16: thanks :) | 00:23 |
| nano_ | Enanito: sweet ..please do. | 00:23 |
| kyncani | maco: nope, not necessary, it just happens that when you're using linux, you tend to know those things | 00:23 |
| maco | kyncani: i just read a lot on the forums, in here, and from blogs, so i learn plenty of things ive never had any reason to need to know :P just like i have no reason to know that in 13th century england they were sideless surcotes over cotehardies | 00:23 |
| maco | xxschwartzxx1: yes, but you can use a live ubuntu system while you install | 00:24 |
| isor | wickedjester, try this link http://www.linuxquestions.org/questions/linux-newbie-8/booting-windows-from-grub-577176/ | 00:24 |
| xxschwartzxx1 | maco:well whatever ill just brb lol... | 00:24 |
| Mecha25 | Whole Ubuntu Ease Debate: just so you know guys, the first time I tried Ubuntu it fried my MBR, and I lost everything. Some people have it easier than others | 00:24 |
| maco | xxschwartzxx1: so you can get online while it's installing and browse the web and ask questions in here as you go | 00:24 |
| nano_ | PhoenixUK: were you able to grub-install (hd0) with success? | 00:24 |
| maco | kyncani: but knowing what a BIOS is is certainly not a pre-req for using ubuntu | 00:24 |
| pepe__ | how can i access to my usb disk files ...there mount it NTFS windows any idea | 00:24 |
| maco | pepe__: using the latest ubuntu? | 00:25 |
| glitsj16 | askand: did creating a new profile solve your issue ? if so, you could suggest it as a workaround at the bug page .. just checking, other people might drop in with similar issues :) | 00:25 |
| kyncani | maco: I'm sure most linux users are more knowledgeable in computers than windows users | 00:25 |
| maco | pepe__: should be able to just plug it in and have it automount | 00:25 |
| Enanito | nano: there you are http://rafb.net/p/jF32qc77.html | 00:25 |
| fiction | I can't watch videos with compiz enabled, I get sound but no picture, is there a solution or a work around someone could point me too? | 00:25 |
| maco | kyncani: before dapper's release, i would've agreed. not so sure anymore. | 00:25 |
| DIL | Mecha25: google is a friend | 00:25 |
| maco | fiction: define videos | 00:25 |
| maco | fiction: flash? or standalone files? | 00:25 |
| fiction | both | 00:26 |
| kyncani | maco: I'm still sure of that, by the simple fact that people are used to windows and not ubuntu | 00:26 |
| maco | fiction: do you get sound in general? | 00:26 |
| fiction | well some flash works but that's a whole other issue, that's firefox I'm sure | 00:26 |
| maco | kyncani: being used to something doesn't make a person stupid | 00:26 |
| fiction | yeah sund works excellent, I'm listening to MP3's right now | 00:26 |
| DIL | !ntfs | pepe__ | 00:26 |

| nano_ | Enanito: your xorg.conf looks good....can you post the output of the following command "lsmod | grep ati" | 00:26 |
| kyncani | maco: and ? | 00:26 |
| Pilkington | hai guys, i'm back again.. what do i do about iTunes?? :S | 00:26 |
| Mecha25 | DIL: I got it working eventually, I'm now offering support to others, but I don't like people arguing about how easy/tough linux is compared to windows. It's totally different, you can't compare the the two difficulties | 00:26 |
| maco | Pilkington: dont use it? | 00:26 |
| DIL | Mecha25: i am with you | 00:27 |
| Enanito | nano: ok | 00:27 |
| maco | Pilkington: there's no iTunes on Linux. thatd involve Apple admitting they're not the only way to escape from Windows | 00:27 |
| Pilkington | maco, i've backed up the thousands of songs from ituens onto a few dvds :S | 00:27 |
| maco | Pilkington: ... | 00:27 |
| fiction | maco: I'm not too worried about getting flash video working fine at the moment, I'm more concerned with stand alone video | 00:27 |
| maco | Pilkington: *bought* from iTunes? with DRM? | 00:27 |
| Mecha25 | Pilkington: look at Rhythmbox, you should already have it, put the music into your Music folder, they should automatically get added | 00:27 |
| Pilkington | maco.. some things aren't avaliable for pirating | 00:27 |
| pepe__ | maco i try ntfs tool | 00:27 |
| Enanito | nano: http://rafb.net/p/NkfZTD23.html | 00:27 |
| Mecha25 | See ya guys, dinner. Good luck Pilkington | 00:27 |
| nano_ | PhoenixUK: did you issue the following "sudo grub-install hd0" | 00:28 |
| pepe__ | ubottu alight | 00:28 |
| ubottu | Sorry, I don't know anything about alight | 00:28 |
| maco | Pilkington: yes, but they're likely available on CDs :P | 00:28 |
| Pilkington | maco, i didn't like the rest of the album :P | 00:28 |
| DIL | Mecha25: i have learned so much from this channel it is amazing i am not Admin but i am learning still | 00:28 |

| maco | Pilkington: well you cant play DRM'd stuff on Linux. | 00:28 |
| joosep | so that i don't have to close my music player to watch a youtube video | 00:28 |
| Pilkington | maco OMG :O | 00:28 |
| nano_ | PhoenixUK: in normal | 00:28 |
| maco | Pilkington: DRM is t3h 3vil, and there's no way around that | 00:28 |
| glitsj16 | fiction: have you tried experimenting with the preferences in your media player for video output modules ? i know vlc for one has those, guess all decent players have a similiar setting .. | 00:28 |
| Enanito | nano: ok give me a second | 00:28 |
| Pilkington | maco, can't i kill it or something? | 00:28 |
| starn | does anybody know why when i use Teamspeak with Speex codecs and runing useing puleaudio [padsp teamspeak] other people hear me echoing to the point of not understanding me | 00:28 |
| askand | joosep: install libflashsupport | 00:28 |
| maco | Pilkington: this is kind of a "that's what you get for buying music that tries to restrict your rights" | 00:29 |
| Enanito | nano: Fatal mode ati not found | 00:29 |
| Pilkington | maco, that song literally isn't anywhere =/ | 00:29 |
| nano_ | Enanito: okay, ati driver is setup in your xorg.conf file but its not installed. | 00:29 |
| maco | Pilkington: if you have a windows box with iTunes 6 | 00:29 |
| Zamadatx | hey is a ati radeon xpress 200 old? | 00:29 |
| fiction | glitsj16: I've fiddled with them a little in VLC and MPlayer but I'm not really sure what I'm doing, so I didn't tinker much | 00:29 |
| maco | Pilkington: you can use QtFairUSe (according to crimsun) and un-DRM them | 00:29 |
| nano_ | Enanito: now, d/load and install the *.run file from ATI website and run it as root. | 00:29 |
| Zamadatx | is an ati radeon xpress graphics card old? | 00:29 |
| Pilkington | maco, ok ok i think i'll try that tomorrow, i'm guessing itunes is a no-go for today | 00:29 |
| Enanito | nano: ok give me one more second | 00:30 |
| Zamadatx | radeon 200* | 00:30 |
| maco | Pilkington: and then you can use your now-unlocked files on any computer instead of being stuck with what the @$$holes in the RIAA want | 00:30 |
| Pilkington | ooh, maco iTunes backed up all the tracks i had that i didn't buy from them too.. how do i get them off the dvd without itunes? | 00:30 |
| glitsj16 | fiction: you can't really harm anything, try them all i'd say | 00:30 |
| joosep | any chance i could get audacity and rhythmbox to work at the same time too | 00:30 |
| PhoenixUK | nano_ http://paste.ubuntu.com/27163/ like that ? | 00:30 |
| maco | Pilkington: copy and paste? | 00:30 |

| maco | matey | 00:31 |
| Pilkington | yarr | 00:31 |
| askand | glitsj16: that did not help im afraid, I downgraded to the version that is not in proposed | 00:31 |
| bbarton | can someone help me set up a static ip on my host?? | 00:31 |
| Pilkington | omg that sucks, was checking itunes website, americans pay like 50% of what we pay >:( | 00:32 |
| nano_ | PhoenixUK: yeah like that...but something is funny with your grub | 00:32 |
| glitsj16 | askand: thanks for trying, i guess for now that's the only thing you can do | 00:32 |
| pepe__ | ubottu works thnks | 00:32 |
| ubottu | Sorry, I don't know anything about works thnks | 00:32 |
| tarelerulz | AaronMT, how has gtkpod be for you . I had to have the newest version to get my ipod nano black to work. Have you figured out how to put picture on the ipod ? | 00:32 |
| maco | Pilkington: i pay whatever the cd costs | 00:32 |
| nano_ | PhoenixUK: if i were you i would just do the following "sudo apt-get install --reinstall grub" | 00:32 |
| Pici | pepe__: ubottu is a bot | 00:32 |
| pepe__ | :) | 00:32 |
| PhoenixUK | nano_ ok lemme try | 00:33 |
| bbarton | anyone?? I can't set up a static ip on my machine without going into winsucks... | 00:33 |
| Pilkington | maco, i generally prefer a CD, but sometimes they're impossible to find.. and where you can't find anything, somehow itunes has ahold of it | 00:33 |
| AaronMT | @tarelerulz - I have not used the program yet. I am curious as to if I can update my iPod's firmware through it or not | 00:33 |
| Pilkington | omg maco, what about podcasts? :S | 00:33 |
| maco | Pilkington: you may be interested in http://defectivebydesign.org | 00:33 |

| neosix | System >> Administration | 00:34 |
| NumBeast | Can anybody give me some advice on making an Ubuntu Cluster? | 00:34 |
| bbarton | network is fine.... dunno how to set the static in ubuntu | 00:34 |
| nano_ | PhoenixUK: i assume that the computer that you are trying to fix is not the computer that you are logged into irc chat with | 00:34 |
| maco | Pilkington: there are plenty of apps out there that can subscribe to podcasts :P | 00:34 |
| Blaqlight | omg I love 7.5 bytes per second download speeds. | 00:34 |
| maco | Pilkington: if you've never used Songbird, check it out | 00:34 |
| bbarton | 7.5 bytes???? you in antartica?? | 00:34 |
| starn | does anybody know why when i use Teamspeak with Speex codecs and runing useing pulseaudio [padsp teamspeak] other people hear me echoing to the point of not understanding me | 00:34 |
| Pilkington | i get it, you hate DRM and that i should burn in hell for having the audacity of wanting a track that doesn't seem to exist anymore in CD form or torrent form, but i'm not exactly a fan of DRM either >_< | 00:34 |
| NumBeast | Pilkington: Even rhythmbox can handle podcasts | 00:34 |
| maco | Pilkington: it's a music player based on Firefox with a very similar UI to iTunes and is practically tailored to podcsts | 00:34 |
| maco | NumBeast: hey RB can handle a *lot* | 00:35 |
| askand | glitsj16: sounds like there is something wrong in the plugins since it says that it is not compatible with 3.0.1 but is with 3.0 | 00:35 |
| smallfoot- | where is ubuntu roadmap? | 00:35 |
| neosix | bbarton: did you set static in Network? | 00:35 |
| maco | Pilkington: nah you shouldn't burn in hell | 00:35 |
| tarelerulz | AaronMT, updating the fireware might stuff not work . Like gtkpod and so on . I updated mine and it still works. iturn is the only thing I know that can do it easy | 00:35 |
| PhoenixUK | nano_ its funny because usually im the teaching guy (hardware/networking/windows), aint got much linux experience tho, last time I was using one was mandrake like 6yrs ago, appreciate your help alot :) PS. its downloading some stuff now, will keep you reported | 00:35 |
| maco | Pilkington: just avoid DRM because it's evil | 00:35 |

| NumBeast | Pilkington: what do you expect? | 00:35 |

| Pilkington | my memory isn't great :P | 00:36 |
| maco | Pilkington: it uses torrents for distribution of podcasts | 00:36 |
| NumBeast | Pilkington: sorry, that wasn't supposed to sound rude, but yeah, you can sync your ipod, rhythmbox works really well for that | 00:36 |
| maco | Pilkington: you dont need to remember, the channel is logged | 00:36 |

| glitsj16 | askand: okay thanks, if it is related to that you can manually decompress an xpi, change the max-version in the install.rdf, comprees the lot again and install it (or use an add-on tool to make xpi's compatible) | 00:37 |

| gerdpuke | if more then 1 file contains the same characters.... | 00:41 |
| Pilkington | oh, this is in rhythmbox btw | 00:41 |
| NumBeast | Flannel: why are you telling him about away when it was an auto away? :S | 00:41 |
| PhoenixUK | nano_ and that other command doesnt work | 00:41 |
| tyler_ | aguitel: and that will restore gnome-terminal and what not? | 00:41 |
| smallfoot- | n-iCe, try System->Preferences->Screen Resolution | 00:41 |
| nano_ | PhoenixUK: what does it say? | 00:41 |
| Flannel | NumBeast: Because he shouldn't be using an audible away | 00:41 |
| DEED | ? | 00:41 |
| AaronMT | @tarelerulz - Always best to be updated new | 00:41 |
| nano_ | PhoenixUK: file doesn't exist or soemthing? | 00:41 |
| unop | gerdpuke, no idea, you had best ask in #bash | 00:41 |
| Bsims | that and how do normal dvd's play full screen on a widescreen monitor | 00:41 |
| aguitel | tyler_, sudo apt-get install ubuntu-desktop | 00:41 |
| Bsims | some of my stuff is widescreen format | 00:42 |
| PhoenixUK | nano_ nvm used other command, it opened the file but its empty :S | 00:42 |
| Bsims | not all though | 00:42 |
| tyler_ | aguitel: thanks | 00:42 |
| gerdpuke | unop, think i could word it more intelligently? | 00:42 |
| PhoenixUK | i used gksudo gedit /boot/grub/menu.lst | 00:42 |
| Pilkington | oh wait no, i'm being retarded, nevermind | 00:42 |
| jamus | DEED: happend to me to u need get to change authrizations for that drive and then enable readwrite to ntfs | 00:42 |
| PhoenixUK | or something like that | 00:42 |
| nano_ | PhoenixUK: issue the following command, incase you don't have read permission somehow : "sudo cat /boot/grub/menu.lst" | 00:42 |
| aguitel | tyler_, try sudo apt-get remove kubuntu-desktop --purge | 00:42 |
| DEED | jamus: how to do that? | 00:42 |
| NumBeast | Bsims: ahh, Yeah I don't think you should have any problems | 00:43 |
| NumBeast | Can anybody give me advice on how to make an ubuntu cluster? | 00:43 |
| PhoenixUK | nano_ no such file or directory | 00:43 |
| Bsims | NumBeast: http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16824009094 | 00:43 |
| Bsims | Looking at this one | 00:43 |
| jamus | DEED: i dont remember how i did it but thats what u need (ill try to rememberthe command) | 00:43 |
| tarelerulz | AaronMt , The reason I ask why you want to update your firmware is sometimes that can break stuff and make it so program like gtkpod might not work after that. Plus I thought maybe you wanted some new feature that updating the firmware might bring or if you do homebrew software firmware is somehting you might want to look into . | 00:43 |

| herrmess | Any idea why for an nvidia 8400GS card the Screen Resolution shows 1024x768 as the highest possible resolution...? | 00:44 |
| Bsims | NumBeast: seems a good monitor for 219 americal pesos | 00:44 |
| Zamadatx | nvm it finished | 00:44 |
| PhoenixUK | ye "cat: /boot/grub/menu.lst: No such file or directory" | 00:44 |
| Bsims | er american even | 00:44 |
| PhoenixUK | exactly like this | 00:44 |
| DEED | jamus: ok thanx i but i dont know to do that or to login as root on graphic mode livecd dont allow me to do that | 00:44 |
| nano_ | PhoenixUK: also, can you send me the output of the following command "sudo mount -a & mount" | 00:44 |

| NumBeast | Bsims: That looks like a really good monitor for only 220 | 00:45 |
| IndyGunFreak | scen: probably... what video device? | 00:45 |
| NumBeast | scen: what do you mean by duplicate screen? | 00:45 |
| gerdpuke | jesus, that's easier then the 2 pages i was going to paste... | 00:45 |

| mikere | I am about to install another OS on this machine that will probably overwrite the grub bootloader (or however I should say that) and I would like to then reinstall grub as the main bootloader on the machine - does anyone here know how this would be done? | 00:46 |
| NumBeast | scen: one sec, I'm looking your card up | 00:46 |
| nano_ | PhoenixUK: send me the output of /etc/fstab file. | 00:46 |
| Flannel | !grub | mikere | 00:46 |

| Flannel | mikere: First link there | 00:46 |
| nano_ | PhoenixUK: please send the output of "mount" command once again please | 00:46 |
| mikere | thanks, Flannel | 00:46 |
| WalloO | I can't hibernate..... that sucks.... :( | 00:46 |
| PhoenixUK | how do i do the previous one u asked ? | 00:46 |
| kyncani | Zamadatx: i don't think you can suspend2disk on a swap file, other than that, there are no difference between a swap file or partition | 00:47 |
| Zamadatx | ok thanks | 00:47 |
| Zamadatx | im currently partitioning for a few more os's so have a few more questions | 00:47 |
| NumBeast | scen: how many ports does it have and of what types? | 00:47 |
| DIL | does anyone have a Nvidia GeForce 8400GS that has been configured to work with 3D and or Compiz | 00:47 |
| PhoenixUK | nano_ http://paste.ubuntu.com/27168/ thats the mount, not sure how do i do the other one | 00:47 |
| Zamadatx | free space proceeding should be 0 right? | 00:48 |
| askand | glitsj16 I cant find the xpi for firefox 3 | 00:48 |
| solexious | [Q] How do i install ssl headders? | 00:48 |
| WalloO | DIL, I got a 7600 and 8800 I can provide you a xorg.conf. | 00:48 |
| nano_ | PhoenixUK: "cat /etc/fstab" | 00:48 |
| DIL | WalloO: willing to try | 00:48 |
| Zamadatx | is MiB million bytes? | 00:48 |
| Zamadatx | or bits? | 00:48 |
| WalloO | DIL, get it here: http://watermark.tuxfamily.org/xorg.conf | 00:48 |
| Pilkington | i have no idea 0_o | 00:48 |
| nano_ | PhoenixUK: when you mounted all your partitions, the most important of all partitions, /, wasn't mounted | 00:48 |
| Zamadatx | bytes because its capital right | 00:48 |
| PhoenixUK | nano_ http://paste.ubuntu.com/27169/ here u go | 00:49 |
| Pilkington | GiB is Gigabytes i assume | 00:49 |
| nano_ | PhoenixUK: i think you have some serious issues with your /etc/fstab file | 00:49 |
| Flannel | Zamadatx: no, its mibibytes. 1024 * 1024 bytes | 00:49 |
| Zamadatx | ??? | 00:49 |
| glitsj16 | askand: what language are you using firefox in ? | 00:49 |
| gerdpuke | alias! i think. changed ls to ls-lh, but, autocmpletion won't display the results the same way. | 00:49 |
| WalloO | DIL, this xorg.conf enable 1024x768 rendering with TV output | 00:49 |
| askand | glitsj16: swedish, sv-SE | 00:49 |
| nano_ | PhoenixUK: how can your fstab file be so dry? | 00:49 |
| jamus | DEED: try system/admministration/authorisations | 00:49 |
| Flannel | Zamadatx: "MB" as far as HDD mfcs are concerned are 1000 * 1000 bytes (or sometimes 1000 * 1024 bytes) | 00:49 |
| nano_ | PhoenixUK: did you install a new harddisk after installing ubuntu or something? | 00:49 |
| PhoenixUK | nano_ dont ask me, no idea if it helps but i couldnt get win xp to install on this earlier as well | 00:49 |
| Pilkington | anyway thanks for the help, i'm going spending a few years trying to find all my podcast feeds, thanks guys :D | 00:49 |
| Zamadatx | how much different is 1,000 MiB from 1,000 MB? | 00:49 |
| glitsj16 | askand: okay, i'll try to nose around for that, will report back | 00:49 |
| NumBeast | scen: you can usually plug in the second monitor to the second port, and then configure it with nvidia-settings | 00:50 |
| askand | glitsj16: thanks | 00:50 |
| Flannel | Zamadatx: 1000 MiB is 1.024 times 1000 MB | 00:50 |
| NumBeast | scen: sudo apt-get install nvidia-settings | 00:50 |
| Zamadatx | o not much? | 00:50 |
| Zamadatx | so | 00:50 |
| PhoenixUK | nano_ well i tried to install it few times, maybe thats why | 00:50 |
| AaronMT | /c//clear | 00:50 |
| Flannel | Zamadatx: 1 MiB is 1048576 bytes, 1MB is 1000000 bytes | 00:50 |
| Zamadatx | ok | 00:50 |
| Zamadatx | thanks | 00:50 |
| NumBeast | scen: afterward run /usr/bin/nvidia-settings & | 00:50 |
| Zamadatx | anyone reccommend any other os's? | 00:51 |
| nano_ | PhoenixUK: i don't think that you actually successfully installed ubuntu...or did you? | 00:51 |
| DIL | WalloO: i will use it as a trial to see if i can get mine to work as when i try to enable restricted drivers i get a black screen and monitors goes tp sleep and have to boot to safe mode to reset | 00:51 |
| Flannel | Zamadatx: When dealing with 10^6ish numbers, not big. But when you get into GB vs GiB, the differences become noticable | 00:51 |
| PhoenixUK | nano_ I did, then it asks you to restart after installation, after that reboot I got that grub error i posted at the begini | 00:51 |
| ki4cgp | Hi peeps, any idea why weather.com shows the interactive map for one user(me) and not another user? | 00:51 |
| PhoenixUK | nano_ grub stage 1.5 read error , to be exact | 00:51 |
| NumBeast | scen: and you can set up your second monitors to mirror the first | 00:52 |
| kyncani | PhoenixUK: the fstab you posted, is it from the live cd ? | 00:52 |
| NumBeast | scen: is that what you were looking for? | 00:52 |
| PhoenixUK | nano_ tried reinstalling 2 times, then i just started from live cd and came here | 00:52 |
| PhoenixUK | kyncani yes | 00:52 |
| kyncani | nano_: see ^ | 00:52 |
| PhoenixUK | im on live cd now, since the normal install wont boot | 00:52 |
| NumBeast | Can aybody give me advice on making an Ubuntu cluster? | 00:52 |
| glitsj16 | askand: https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/browse/type:3 only shows a dictionary for swedish, guess you're out of luck there .. looking into the language packages in synaptic for clues now | 00:52 |
| WalloO | DIL, ok. I use this xorg.conf with my computer conected to my tV and Video projector. So it works with restricted driver | 00:52 |
| nano_ | PhoenixUK: so right now you are running off livecd? | 00:52 |
| PhoenixUK | ye | 00:52 |
| nano_ | kyncani: what? | 00:53 |
| _xyz | can I dual boot xp and ubuntu by installing ubuntu + grub loader on a new separate drive and setting it as the primary HDD boot device? (that way the old XP HDD would be untouched) | 00:53 |
| kyncani | nano_: the fstab was the livecd's | 00:53 |
| Flannel | _xyz: Yep | 00:53 |
| nano_ | kyncani: yes, i now realize that | 00:53 |
| askand | glitsj16: Yea, I can only find versions for firefox 2 in synaptic | 00:53 |
| kyncani | PhoenixUK: what's the grub error ? | 00:53 |
| jamus | guys if u wanna share a partition with windows put it in /dos mount point in install and it works perfectly (sinc and everything) as long as it dont have win on it (clear partition)-- NTFS | 00:54 |
| nano_ | PhoenixUK: you need to mount your harddrive first, then you need to give me your /etc/fstab file | 00:54 |
| PhoenixUK | sorry if I was suppose to mention that earlier, but it's kinda logical that Im not on normal instal since i couldnt boot on it | 00:54 |
| _xyz | flannel: so the old HDD would have 0 software modifications to it and i would have a choice between which os to boot? | 00:54 |
| PhoenixUK | kyncani "grub stage 1.5 read error " | 00:54 |
| nano_ | kyncani: http://paste.ubuntu.com/27164/ | 00:54 |
| nano_ | kyncani: that is what he sent me | 00:54 |
| PhoenixUK | nano_ how do i do that ? | 00:54 |
| nano_ | kyncani: http://paste.ubuntu.com/27163/ | 00:54 |
| Flannel | _xyz: Correct | 00:54 |
| nano_ | PhoenixUK: ? | 00:54 |
| Jack_Sparrow | _xyz Wrong | 00:54 |
| burner | hi! i'm trying to install xubuntu on my carpc.. i don't have a cd-rom, so i've put the iso on a USB-stick | 00:54 |
| scen | 960 GT | 00:55 |
| scen | first monitor is a asus or something and the second is a tv with vga out | 00:55 |
| scen | and it | 00:55 |
| nano_ | kyncani: i didn't realize that the info he was sending was off live cd.... | 00:55 |
| scen | do u have any solutions | 00:55 |
| burner | when it boots i get this message: "Could not find kernel image: linux" | 00:55 |
| PhoenixUK | nano_ you said i have to mount hdd first and then check that whatever file | 00:55 |
| _xyz | thanks | 00:55 |
| Jack_Sparrow | Flannel If he sets his old xp install as slave or second master wont he have a problem with xp | 00:55 |
| kyncani | PhoenixUK: do you have two drives or only one ? | 00:55 |
| askand | glitsj16: http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=858240 it seems to have something to do with xulrunner :) | 00:55 |
| PhoenixUK | just one, IDE | 00:55 |
| fiction | exit | 00:55 |
| kyncani | PhoenixUK: and do you have ubuntu only or ubuntu and windows ? | 00:56 |
| Flannel | Jack_Sparrow: No, you just have to do mapping in GRUB, and it'll never know the difference | 00:56 |
| glitsj16 | askand: aha, nice find :) .. hope there's a fix | 00:56 |
| nano_ | PhoenixUK: yes, right now you are running an OS based completely off the livecd,.... your harddrve doesn't enter the equation at all. the settings that i was asking you for pertain to your harddive - which isn't in the equation at all. | 00:56 |
| jamus | PhoenixUK: if u have a new pc i suggest u fix partitions with gparted and then install if u want ill tell u exactly how | 00:56 |
| PhoenixUK | just ubuntu, windows has been wiped before | 00:56 |
| fiction | woops, thought I had the terminal selected | 00:56 |
| Zamadatx | hey anyone here used scientific linux?im partitioning and might get it but wnat to know how big it is installed | 00:56 |
| askand | yep seems to be a matter of time, thanks for helping out, goodnight | 00:56 |
| Flannel | _xyz: Thats true. You may need to modify the grub config slightly to get windows to boot happily. come back here and ask about grub mapping if you do have that problem. | 00:56 |
| _xyz | jack_sparrow: but only 1 hdd can be set as primary | 00:56 |
| jamus | PhoenixUK: partition must be ext3 not ntfs | 00:57 |
| kyncani | PhoenixUK: all right, you may try this (on the livecd) : sudo grub. Then type "root (hd0,0)" then "setup (hd0)", then reboot and see what happens | 00:57 |
| Jack_Sparrow | Flannel Ive had some XP systems give me hassles | 00:57 |
| Zamadatx | hey anyone here used scientific linux?im partitioning and might get it but want to know how big it is installed? | 00:57 |
| nano_ | PhoenixUK: so we need to bring your harddisk into the equation first...you can do this by issuing the following : sudo mkdir /media/harddrive && mount /dev/hda3 /media/harddrive | 00:57 |
| Flannel | Jack_Sparrow: If you map it in grub, XP doesn't know any different | 00:57 |
| burner | anyone? i'm trying to boot from a USB-stick, but get this message: "Could not find kernel image: linux" | 00:57 |
| PhoenixUK | kyncani i was following this http://ubuntuforums.org/archive/index.php/t-615668.html but it quite didnt work | 00:57 |
| nano_ | PhoenixUK: for the second command you will need to insert a "sudo " immediately after the "&&" symbol. | 00:57 |
| Jack_Sparrow | Flannel I know how to map it in grub, but it does not always go as planned. | 00:58 |
| nano_ | kyncani: prolly that didn't work for him cause he was running off livecd | 00:58 |
| toufikool | can some one tell me how can i go to french room pLS | 00:58 |

| Flannel | Zamadatx: No, use medibuntu | 01:03 |
| nano_ | kyncani: I think, if the drive is not mouted, then /dev/hdXX doesn't like to anything? | 01:03 |

| xxschwartzxx | Guys I need to know how do i install ubuntu to my external HD without removing or formatting my other data on my external? | 01:03 |

| pvl1 | xxschwartzxx, partition it | 01:03 |
| puwei | did you face the same problem ? ubuntu 8.04 can't visit google.com ,but other website is ok even the google.co.uk | 01:03 |
| nano_ | kyncani: then if /dev/hdaXX doesn't link to anything, then how can grub access the harddisk? | 01:03 |
| jamus | PhoenixUK: its best for u to dl and make livecd of gparted so u can know all ur partition setting(if u have ntfs volume u will have to change to ext3) | 01:03 |
| PhoenixUK | I had ubuntu 6.xx few years ago on this machine and there was 0 problems with it :S | 01:04 |

| geo | what problems do you have now? | 01:04 |
| PhoenixUK | i have that gparted here, trying to open it now | 01:04 |

| kyncani | nano_: and i found myself 2~3 weeks ago in a situation where grub-install did not work, grub's builtin find() command did not work either, but root() and setup() did work. And that already happened to me before | 01:05 |
| nano_ | kyncani: PhoenixUK problem is here: http://paste.ubuntu.com/27163/ | 01:05 |
| tech0007 | !medibuntu > Zamadatx | 01:05 |
| xxschwartzxx | plv1: yes its a live | 01:05 |
| PhoenixUK | looks like i got funny issue here isnt it ? haha | 01:06 |
| aestrivex | how does MAKEDEV work | 01:06 |
| nano_ | kyncani: grub-install "guesses" the correct values for /dev/XX . it is not accurate like going into grubshell,setup.root....etc. So i guess the problem is that PhoenixUK's computer hardwares is not guessed correctly by grub-install....so he will have to go into grub shell, do rootXX and setupXX | 01:06 |
| aestrivex | im trying to create a directory dev/video0 for my webcam but i cant figure out the appopriate input | 01:06 |
| kyncani | nano_, PhoenixUK : yeah, I was prolly in the same situation i think. That's why i advised using sudo grub, then root (hd0,0), then setup (hd0). | 01:06 |
| PhoenixUK | o i got GParted loaded | 01:07 |
| pvl1 | xxschwartzxx, use gparted to partition ur external and then make the install select the new partition | 01:07 |
| PhoenixUK | see 5 partitions there | 01:07 |
| PhoenixUK | 2 ext3 , extended and 2 linux-swap | 01:07 |
| CaptainMorgan | anyone run into a bad boot sequence that says that ext3 might not be a valid filesystem, and that it should be checked with fsck.... only to further state that a maintenance shell is being run, otherwise press ctrl-d for a normal startup... ? I wanted to restart my system remotely after a power outage, so the techs onsite powered it back on but ran into this beauty... normally it's just supposed to go straight to the login pr | 01:07 |
| CaptainMorgan | ompt | 01:07 |
| PhoenixUK | anyways, anything i should do with this software now ? like delete all of it or something ? | 01:08 |
| jamus | PhoenixUK: look at it to see what partitions u have | 01:08 |
| xxschwartzxx | pvl1: i really have never even done a part. and i dont know what gparted is.. | 01:08 |
| * puwei sorry for ask again. could you tell me , would you ever face the same problem,8.04 + firefox3.0 can't login google account .plz | 01:08 | |
| CaptainMorgan | I run apcupsd for battery ups graceful shutdowns too... so I dont believe it should be cnetered around the power outage... | 01:08 |
| aestrivex | how do i input MAKEDEV to create the directory /dev/video0 | 01:08 |
| pvl1 | !partitions | xxschwartzxx | 01:08 |
| PhoenixUK | jamus ? and ? | 01:08 |
| ubottu | xxschwartzxx: Partitioning programs: !GParted or QTParted (also "man mkfs" for formatting) - Mounting partitions in !GNOME under !Dapper: System -> Administration -> Disks - For !Edgy and later, see !fstab and !DiskMounter | 01:08 |
| kyncani | PhoenixUK: removing everything and trying again won't hurt i guess :) | 01:08 |
| PhoenixUK | ye, it was a fresh install anyways | 01:08 |
| nano_ | kyncani: well make sure that you the numbers of the arguments correct, here are PhoenixUK's settings: http://paste.ubuntu.com/27159/ | 01:08 |
| PhoenixUK | ok i removed everything, got 190gb unallocated now | 01:09 |
| PhoenixUK | whats the next step ? | 01:09 |
| pvl1 | xxschwartzxx, that help? | 01:09 |
| PhoenixUK | what partitions do i need to set ? | 01:09 |
| xxschwartzxx | no i cant find that | 01:09 |
| pvl1 | xxschwartzxx, do u know what synaptic is | 01:09 |
| nano_ | PhoenixUK: so u are doing a brand new install? | 01:10 |
| krughanh | xerxes | 01:10 |
| PhoenixUK | yeh seems so | 01:10 |
| xxschwartzxx | pvl1: i have seen it in the menus yse | 01:10 |
| pvl1 | xxschwartzxx, use that to isntall gparted | 01:10 |
| pvl1 | *install | 01:10 |
| kyncani | nano_, PhoenixUK : well, looks like his /boot is hda3, so that would be root (hd0,2) or (hd0,1) (don't remember grub's calling convention) | 01:10 |
| xxschwartzxx | can i do that while im using ubuntu off the cd? | 01:10 |
| tech0007 | CaptainMorgan: run 'sudo fsck -a -f /dev/XXX' to auto repair disk | 01:10 |
| pvl1 | !pastebin > wickedjester | 01:10 |
| ubottu | wickedjester, please see my private message | 01:10 |
| nano_ | kyncani: PhoenixUK, i guess that won't hurt...you can setup partitions any ways you want. | 01:10 |
| PhoenixUK | kyncani it's not anymore, it's all deleted now : P | 01:11 |
| nano_ | kyncani: it would be (hd0,2) | 01:11 |
| jamus | PhoenixUK: if u dont have anything important on it i suggest u repartition it to 1 ext3 partition(19 gb 1swap file partition(1gb) and the rest on ntfs partition (to be mounted as /dosin install ) and format it and install again | 01:11 |
| kyncani | PhoenixUK: all right, well, you may have more luck this time :) | 01:11 |
| nano_ | PhoenixUK: you need at bare minimum 1 swap partition and one "/" parition | 01:11 |
| jamus | PhoenixUK: ext (10 gb)****** | 01:11 |
| CaptainMorgan | tech0007, doesn't it need to be umounted first ?? | 01:12 |
| tech0007 | CaptainMorgan: yes | 01:12 |
| jamus | mount ext3 part as / | 01:12 |
| PhoenixUK | uhm.... | 01:12 |
| nano_ | PhoenixUK: i would recommend 1 swap , 1 "/" partition, and one /home partition so that next time in case you have to reformat everything you won't lose your dloads and other precious stuff like that. | 01:12 |
| kyncani | nano_, PhoenixUK : yeah, bare minimum is good, keep things simple | 01:12 |
| PhoenixUK | make it the simple way, and slow please, dont want to mess this :) | 01:12 |
| kyncani | nano_: i think from 8.04 on, you can reinstall and keep your /home, everything else get deleted | 01:13 |
| CaptainMorgan | tech0007, can this be accomplished remotely? I'm not seeing an easier route to do this, other than being onsite.... | 01:13 |
| CaptainMorgan | with a Live CD | 01:13 |
| nano_ | kyncani: PhoenixUK: how much ram do you have, and how big is your hdisk? | 01:13 |
| PhoenixUK | kyncani im on 7.10 | 01:13 |
| Zamadat1 | where do i get the google earth package thing? | 01:13 |
| PhoenixUK | nano_ 190gb, 1gb ram | 01:13 |
| puwei | /whois CaptainMorgan | 01:13 |
| kyncani | PhoenixUK: why don't you install 8.04 ? | 01:13 |
| tech0007 | CaptainMorgan: i dont think so | 01:13 |
| puwei | oh no | 01:13 |
| hagabaka | a few days ago adobe flash plugin was updated to version 10.x, but after updating to day it became 9.x again. is that right? | 01:13 |
| CaptainMorgan | puwei, why do you care ? | 01:13 |
| burner | hm, now i have booted from my USB-stick.. and eventually i get to a prompt, "BusyBox v1.1.3 ..." | 01:13 |
| burner | what next? :S | 01:13 |
| Zamadat1 | where do i get the linux google pack thing? | 01:13 |
| Zamadat1 | google earth | 01:14 |
| MrKennie_ | Zamadat1: medibuntu | 01:14 |
| nano_ | PhoenixUK: set up 2gigs swap partition, and the remaining space (assuming you want to use entire hdisk) as "/" partition with ext3 format. | 01:14 |
| CaptainMorgan | puwei, unless you find me interesting or degrading... hopefully the former | 01:14 |
| puwei | my english was poor | 01:14 |
| Zamadat1 | whats medibuntu a site? | 01:14 |
| PhoenixUK | kyncani, it threw me to ... forgot what was it, s something box, alot of troubles with it, so some ppl said that the only help was to just get earlier version and then update it | 01:14 |
| CaptainMorgan | k, thank you tech0007 ! | 01:14 |
| PhoenixUK | and here I come ; ] | 01:14 |
| Flannel | Zamadat1: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Medibuntu#Adding%20the%20Repositories | 01:14 |
| nano_ | PhoenixUK: kyncani : and that should be the simplest install possible | 01:14 |
| Zamadat1 | thank oyu | 01:14 |
| Zamadat1 | i love google earth and its in ubuntu now :) | 01:14 |
| puwei | i face a problem , how can i login to my google accounts | 01:15 |
| jamus | mountind ntfs partition as / dos enables u to sync with windows on another partition and not getting "lost+found" files on it | 01:15 |
| MrKennie_ | shame it's not entirely native, but it's ok | 01:15 |
| puwei | but no one , help me | 01:15 |
| CaptainMorgan | puwei, what does that have to do with Ubuntu ? | 01:15 |
| rockenrola | is there a free open source project like google earth? | 01:15 |
| PhoenixUK | nano_ i got this 2gb swap, lets say I want to have 2 partitions, which ones do I make ? | 01:15 |
| PhoenixUK | like 1 30gb for system, and rest for storage | 01:15 |
| MrKennie_ | not that I know of | 01:16 |
| Adman65 | http://www.pendrivelinux.com/2008/05/15/usb-ubuntu-804-persistent-install-from-linux/ | 01:16 |
| Adman65 | anyone else had problems with that tutorial ^ ? | 01:16 |
| NumBeast | Can anybody give me advice on creating an Ubuntu Cluster? | 01:16 |
| puwei | when i use ubuntu 7.10 it's no problem , but then i update to 8.04 and i can't login to google | 01:16 |
| puwei | account | 01:16 |
| kyncani | PhoenixUK: 20gb system is way more than enough | 01:16 |
| Adman65 | says it cannot find image 'linux' | 01:16 |
| nano_ | PhoenixUK: if you want 2 partitions i would recommend that you have 130 gigs devoted to /home partition and the remaining to / parition | 01:16 |
| jamus | PhoenixUK: sys needs much less (like 10gb should be enough ) | 01:16 |
| MrKennie_ | sounds like it can't find the kernel | 01:16 |
| CaptainMorgan | puwei, you're leaving out a lot of crucial information, which is probably why no one is choosing to assist you | 01:16 |
| Dr_willis | Adman65, from the error message. i imagine its wanting vmlinuz, or whatever the kernel name is instead of linux | 01:17 |
| AMDpenguin | does any one know to fix a fucked up reiserfs partition? | 01:17 |
| nano_ | PhoenixUK: so next time you hit a roadblock that kills your system you can reinstall OS without having to worry about losing your settings and dloads in /home dir | 01:17 |
| jamus | PhoenixUK: make livecd from gparted iso . and boot with it | 01:17 |
| enderbean | I've played DVDs previously on this computer with no problem, but a DVD gave me the following error message "ifoRead_VOBU_ADMAP vtsi failed" both with totem-xine and vlc. | 01:17 |
| PhoenixUK | uh | 01:17 |
| Adman65 | any idea what i could do about that? | 01:17 |
| CaptainMorgan | puwei, your issue is very vague, consider giving thorough details | 01:17 |
| IndyGunFreak | AMDpenguin: why did you use reiser? | 01:17 |
| AMDpenguin | flightgear files | 01:17 |
| kyncani | AMDpenguin: you might try reiserfsck, and it will probably kill an already dying filesystem | 01:17 |
| AMDpenguin | But i regret it | 01:17 |
| AMDpenguin | Already did tree rebuild made it worse | 01:18 |
| Innopeor | Hi, anybody know a good alternative to xwinwrap? | 01:18 |
| kyncani | AMDpenguin: did the --rebuild-tree ? Yep, it's dead all right | 01:18 |
| PhoenixUK | nano_ it doesnt say in this software anything like where its mounted | 01:18 |
| MrKennie_ | Adman65: recheck your grub configuration perhaps, check /boot make sure it has the kernel images etc. | 01:18 |
| PhoenixUK | it just gives me option to choose how many GB and what file system | 01:18 |
| nano_ | PhoenixUK: are you using gparted or the install process ? | 01:19 |
| PhoenixUK | gparted | 01:19 |
| nano_ | PhoenixUK: it should refer to "mount point" or something | 01:19 |
| jamus | PhoenixUK: u have to remember the (hd0,?) names | 01:19 |
| AMDpenguin | oh well | 01:19 |
| PhoenixUK | well i dont see any option like this | 01:19 |
| Adman65 | MrKennie, ya, i know, except im trying to use a liveUSB, so there is no boot :/ | 01:20 |
| jamus | PhoenixUK: (hd0,3) (hd0,5) and so on | 01:20 |
| volksman | anyone know any good X10 software? | 01:20 |
| PhoenixUK | i can click on the bar and click "new" then there comes window with following options: free space preceding, new size, free space following, create as ( primary / extended ) and filesystem | 01:20 |
| Monstrerose | frM | 01:20 |
| PhoenixUK | no mount point anywhere | 01:20 |
| Dr_willis | volksman, i recall some existing... some years back. :) but not sure if any of it has been updated recently. or how good it is. | 01:20 |
| nmourey | Hello: I am trying to install Windows 2000 in parallels and it just hangs ( ubuntu 8.04 ) ( parallels ver. 2.2 . build 2232) Ideas? | 01:20 |
| Monstrerose | #ubuntu-fr | 01:21 |
| Dr_willis | volksman, you are refering to the X10 Home automation stuff? | 01:21 |
| volksman | Dr_willis: yep! | 01:21 |
| jamus | PhoenixUK: gparted will partition only if u boot with live cd (else options are disabled) | 01:21 |
| volksman | Dr_willis: I know LinuxMCE can do it but I'm trying to avoid that route | 01:21 |
| volksman | Dr_willis: also trying to avoid code...it's for my father...hahah | 01:22 |
| PhoenixUK | jamus ye , im on live, BUT there is no any 'mount' options here, and you tell me i have to set some | 01:22 |
| nano_ | PhoenixUK: what are you options under filesystem setting | 01:22 |
| Dr_willis | volksman, that company was so big and annyong in the popup ads. :) years ago.. I did have the things being ran by my linux box ages ago.. so the software proberly exists.. but no idea about the state of it. | 01:22 |
| nano_ | PhoenixUK: do you see /home | 01:22 |
| jamus | PhoenixUK: u have to remember the divisions name alone | 01:22 |
| MrKennie_ | Adman65: well, in anycase, check make sure you got the kernel images. I would imagine the howto has something about the kernel? | 01:22 |
| nano_ | PhoenixUK: do you see /home, among other entries | 01:22 |
| PhoenixUK | ext2, ext3, swap, fat 16, fat 32, xfs and so on | 01:22 |
| burner\- | why do i get the a BusyBox prompt when booting the xubuntu cd?! | 01:22 |
| volksman | Dr_willis: no worries...thanks anyways...my father bought a ton of the stuff... :) | 01:22 |
| PhoenixUK | nope, no home | 01:22 |
| Adman65 | here: http://www.pendrivelinux.com/2008/05/21/usb-xubuntu-804-persistent-install-from-linux/ , not specifically, but im am going to do some poking around | 01:23 |
| kyncani | PhoenixUK: why don't you use the built-in installer, tell him to use the entire disk and be done with it ? | 01:23 |
| jamus | PhoenixUK: no mount points in gparted look at properties | 01:23 |
| amenado | PhoenixUK-> a mount point is a directory | 01:23 |
| nano_ | PhoenixUK: in one of those settings under "NEW" you will see a selection of /home /boot....and so on. | 01:23 |
| hagabaka | what's the reason for https://launchpad.net/ubuntu/hardy/+source/flashplugin-nonfree/10.0.1.218+10.0.0.525ubuntu1~hardy1+really9.0.124.0ubuntu2 ? the newer version of flash worked better for me and this version is causing problems with an application | 01:23 |
| MrKennie_ | burner\-: see any error messages prior to that? | 01:23 |
| crimsun | hagabaka: the newer Flash 10 beta 2 causes a regression on 64-bit non-PulseAudio users. | 01:23 |
| PhoenixUK | nano_ nothing like that | 01:23 |
| jamus | should say like smtng (hd0,3) (hd0,5) remember those | 01:23 |
| Dr_willis | volksman, i got a few box's full here, from ages ago. | 01:24 |
| teprrr | hi, is there some nice way to install a clean ubuntu installation from ubuntu to an usb stick? those I've read are using syslinux/lilo or other stuff I wouldn't mind to use | 01:24 |
| burner\- | MrKennie_, no.. its "Loading vmlinuz" and "loading initrd".. and then i get the xubuntu loading splash | 01:24 |
| PhoenixUK | kyncani thats what i did earlier and I got all these problems now ;], so just making sure this time its right | 01:24 |
| === ka2u is now known as ka2zzzz | ||
| teprrr | or should I just get a cd with installer and install the system to a stick from it? | 01:24 |
| PhoenixUK | so shall i just wipe it all and use the auto installer ? | 01:24 |
| Dr_willis | teprrr, syslinux is the normal way to get usb sticks booting I belive. | 01:24 |
| crimsun | hagabaka: keep in mind that you can reinstall the older, superceded 10.0.1.218+10.0.0.525ubuntu1~hardy1 | 01:24 |
| PhoenixUK | u saying it will work ? | 01:24 |
| PhoenixUK | :S | 01:24 |
| teprrr | Dr_willis, ahh. there's no other way to do it? | 01:24 |
| burner\- | MrKennie_, i'm booting from a USB-stick though.. | 01:24 |
| hagabaka | oh | 01:24 |
| MrKennie_ | burner\-: oh I see | 01:24 |
| hagabaka | how can I let it not be upgraded to this version? | 01:25 |
| Dr_willis | teprrr, there may be other ways , the pendrivelinux site may mention it. all the bootable usb sticks (vs usb drives) i use are using syslinux - its not hard to use. | 01:25 |

| kyncani | PhoenixUK: :) i see (sorry) | 01:25 |
| MrKennie_ | burner\-: it might be because it does not know/can't find your root partition | 01:25 |
| crimsun | hagabaka: pin it using Synaptic after reinstalling the "older" version | 01:25 |
| jamus | PhoenixUK: when u reinstall ubunto in partitions do manual select and choose from what u did in gparted | 01:25 |
| PhoenixUK | ok so again, what should i set in gparted ? | 01:26 |
| hagabaka | i use aptitude... | 01:26 |
| PhoenixUK | one swap and lets say 2 ext 3 ? | 01:26 |
| PhoenixUK | dont need any additional options like mount points and stuff ? | 01:26 |

| shadow420 | I have figured out the problem with my keyboard it was the keyboard itself it died | 01:27 |
| MrKennie_ | burner\-: often it's the root kernel boot option | 01:27 |
| burner\- | MrKennie_, i had a look at "casper.log".. its trying to find /dev/sda.. and then its says "cannot find a medium containing a live cd" or something | 01:27 |
| Dr_willis | teprrr, ive got usb sticks using syslinux, and vfat, and ext2 both. :) I think.. i havent messed with them in a few weeks. | 01:27 |
| PhoenixUK | jamus there is no 'home' | 01:27 |
| PhoenixUK | hyh | 01:27 |
| Dr_willis | teprrr, i normally play with Puppylinux, and slax, and geexbox on the things. | 01:28 |
| jamus | PhoenixUK: in ubuntu install ? there is 1 | 01:28 |
| DEED | maco: i'ts mounted but i cant paste on it on NTFS | 01:28 |
| PhoenixUK | jamus in GParted | 01:28 |
| DEED | maco: i need to login in root to paste on NTFS | 01:28 |
| MrKennie_ | burner\-: using grub I assume? | 01:29 |
| hagabaka | crimsun: is there an easy way to find out the older versions of packages? aptitude can't find the one you said | 01:29 |
| NumBeast | Can anybody give me advice on creating an Ubuntu Cluster? | 01:29 |
| MrKeishii | how do i do the sphere plugin on compiz fusion | 01:29 |
| kyncani | DEED: i think ntfs-config is supposed to easily give you rw access | 01:30 |
| alexur1 | When i run update-manager -d to get 8.10 it tries to upgrade to 8.04 which im already on so then it fails. when i click upgrade in update manager it shows the release notes for 8.04 | 01:30 |
| burner\- | MrKennie_, yeah i think so | 01:30 |
| jamus | PhoenixUK: in gparted just choose 10 gb ext3 for sys 2gb swap ad all the rest in ext3 or ntfs if u wanna later install win (doesnt work with ex3) | 01:30 |
| kyncani | alexur1: 8.10 is still alpha | 01:30 |
| puwei | thanks , when i using ubuntu 8.04 and firefox 3 to visit the web site , just can't use google.com to search and can't loggin google accunts, firefox tell me in left lower corner --waiting for www.google.com ,but ages a go no thing hape . first ,i think it's problem with firefox 3 , so i change to firefox 2 ,and the problem hapen again. so i del the firefox ,and install opera , proble just like the firefox . btw :visit other web is ok . even | 01:31 |

| binarydigit | anyone know how to convert a .img to a .iso or a program to burn .img? | 01:31 |
| teprrr | Dr_willis, ahh. I see. I'm thinking what to use as a base for a htpc setup.. I'm thinking about booting it from the stick and use external hdd only for storage, but haven't yet decided if that's the way to go.. | 01:31 |
| alexur1 | kyncani: so does that mean it wont upgrade through update-manager? | 01:31 |
| jamus | amendo ; FOR sys--- for sistem | 01:32 |
| kyncani | alexur1: you will, when 8.10 is released, in october | 01:32 |
| amenado | jamus be clear please, the user you are trying to help is not familiar with such terms | 01:32 |
| alexur1 | kyncani: http://www.ubuntu.com/testing/intrepid/alpha2 this website says i can upgrade to it | 01:32 |
| kyncani | alexur1: yep, but you should not use an alpha version and expect it to work | 01:32 |
| alexur1 | kyncani: thats okay | 01:33 |
| PhoenixUK | amenado maybe Im new to linux but im not total moron :D | 01:33 |
| kyncani | alexur1: then man update-manager, the instructions are in there | 01:33 |
| alexur1 | k | 01:33 |
| amenado | PhoenixUK-> no one call you as such, i want to make sure he gives you the correct info | 01:33 |

| jamus | PhoenixUK: then when u install ubuntu do ''manual partition '' and ext3 --( / ) swap ---( /swap) and 3rd as--- ( /home) | 01:35 |
| alexur1 | err 8.04 i mean! | 01:35 |
| Yacht | maco: i will try that, thanks | 01:35 |
| jamus | PhoenixUK: yes but make sure u manually choose partitions | 01:35 |
| TomorrowAgain | i need some help if someone would be so kind | 01:35 |
| amenado | jamus there you go..much better, | 01:35 |
| hagabaka | how can I find out the versions of package that are older than the current? | 01:35 |
| Shpook | I've got a laptop with Intel945 graphics, and any time I play a game that uses OpenGL, it freezes after 5-10 minutes. Has anyone run into this, and is there a fix? | 01:36 |
| fbianconi | Yacht: is there anyone else connected to that lan? | 01:36 |
| kyncani | alexur1: update-manager wants to give you 8.10 ? that's what you want, right ? | 01:36 |
| Yacht | yeah, me and him | 01:36 |
| Yacht | and his server comp, of course | 01:36 |
| DEED | omg so hard to copy and paste on ntfs from LiveCD can anyone tell me any easy way | 01:36 |
| alexur1 | kyncani: no its giving me 8.04 | 01:36 |
| PhoenixUK | Shpook is it only when using opengl games ? or others as well? | 01:36 |
| alexur1 | kyncani: typo sorry.. | 01:36 |
| kyncani | DEED: sudo ntfs-config. If it's not installed, install it with sudo apt-get install ntfs-config. | 01:36 |
| amenado | Yacht-> what is you ip address? lets guess your friends | 01:36 |
| maco | DEED: sudo cp doesn't work? | 01:37 |
| alexur1 | kyncani: i click upgrade for 8.10 but its giving me 8.04, i can tell because the release notes for 8.04 show up not for 8.10 | 01:37 |
| kyncani | alexur1: well, then do it the old way, edit sources.list and replace hardy with intrepid i guess | 01:37 |
| Yacht | amenado: no that's alright, i like my IP address being unknown =] | 01:37 |
| starn | does anybody know how to fix echoing in Teamspeak while usieng pulseaudio? and speex codecs and ubuntu 8.04 | 01:37 |
| alexur1 | kyncani: k ill try that | 01:37 |
| kyncani | alexur1: then apt-get dist-upgrade | 01:37 |
| DEED | kyncani: | 01:37 |
| maco | Yacht: your IP within the subnet has no bearing on us :P | 01:37 |
| ZeroCool | hi | 01:37 |
| Shpook | PhoenixUK: So far, it seems like only OpenGL, I believe. Alien Arena, Glest, FreedroidRPG. | 01:37 |
| amenado | Yacht-> as if it matters to us..you are behind a router, so your internal ip address does not count to us | 01:37 |
| DEED | kyncani: E: Couldn't find package ntfs-config | 01:37 |
| ZeroCool | hola | 01:38 |
| MrKennie_ | burner\-: I'm not really sure tbh, I would start by checking to make sure the image is where it expects it to be. | 01:38 |
| DEED | maco: sudo cp | 01:38 |
| DEED | cp: missing file operand | 01:38 |
| Yacht | amenado:, maco: like i said, i like to be secretive | 01:38 |
| fbianconi | Yacht you can try to guess from you IP if you' re using dhcp for assing them | 01:38 |
| maco | DEED: well you gotta tell it what file you want to copy and where too :P | 01:38 |
| Yacht | fbianconi: that's a good point | 01:38 |
| PhoenixUK | Shpook looks like overheating to me, but then it should occur in other demanding games as well, have you got the newest drivers to date installed ? | 01:38 |
| Yacht | fbianconi: why didn't i think of that | 01:39 |
| DEED | maco: ethernet drivers for windows XP to NTFS Driver C: | 01:39 |
| burner\- | MrKennie_, okay.. i'll have a go at http://www.startx.ro/sugar/isotostick.sh | 01:39 |
| burner\- | :P | 01:39 |
| MrKennie_ | burner\-: the best of luck :) | 01:39 |
| burner\- | thanks | 01:40 |
| TomorrowAgain | i've got a problem if someone could help me, i took out my ipod from the usb port without ejecting it and the for the ipod is still on the desktop, i tried re-logging, rebooting, to re plug in the ipod and tried to unmount the icon on the desktop but nothing seems to work, i'm getting this output when i try to unmount "/sbin/umount.hal: /media/IPOD is not recognized by hal", if anyone could help it'd be greatly appreciated | 01:40 |
| burner\- | *rebooting to linux* | 01:40 |
| amenado | Yacht okay..your router ip is 24-34-185-141..hide it :P | 01:40 |
| maco | DEED: its not like i know where they are on your disks... | 01:40 |
| Shpook | PhoenixUK: AFAIK, yes. I was thinking it was overheating, but the laptop itself never seems to get too hot while playing any of them. | 01:40 |
| shadow420 | DEED for example sudo cp win9x.exe where ever drivers go in ubuntu | 01:40 |
| Areio | Quick question: How would I go about creating an old-fashioned .IMG file (floppy image) from a directory? Is there some way of zipping files into an .IMG? | 01:40 |
| Yacht | amenado: hey that's mine! stop that =P | 01:40 |
| PhoenixUK | jamus so here im at manual setting, have set 1 ext 3 partition to '/' second ext 3 to '/home' , and i have one swap partition but I cant access the mount point setting for it, there is noone in there | 01:40 |
| maco | Areio: computers still have floppy drives? O_O | 01:41 |
| amenado | Areio-> dd | 01:41 |
| DEED | shadow420: i want to copy this R132254.EXE to /media ? | 01:41 |
| Areio | If they did, it would make my job a lot easier. ^^ I'm trying to boot Windows 1.01 via Sun's VirtualBox. I have the files themselves, I just need to get them into a bootable .IMG format. | 01:42 |
| maco | DEED: copy it to ~/Desktop/ and you can see it on the desktop | 01:42 |
| j800r | hey, can someone help me out here. I installed wine on my system to try and run world of warcraft, it didn't work, so i removed it along with wine, however, wine is still showing in my applications menu. how do i totally remove it? | 01:42 |
| jamus | PhoenixUK: choose ''label'' and label it again as swap | 01:42 |
| PhoenixUK | Shpook you can run some stability tests, make sure you do a memtest and some artifact scanning on the GPU | 01:42 |
| Areio | j800r: How did you go about removing it? | 01:42 |
| DEED | maco i hawe it on ubuntu desktop i want to copy on NTFS part... C: | 01:42 |
| dualmonitortroub | Hi all. Is there an easy way to setup a dual desktop with a second monitor plugged to a laptop running Ubuntu 8.04? | 01:42 |
| j800r | areio: add/remove | 01:42 |
| amenado | j800r-> apt-get remove --purge wine | 01:42 |
| PhoenixUK | jamus there isnt any option like that, should i delete it and do it again ? | 01:42 |
| jamus | PhoenixUK: or whatever there is to choose partition kind (dont remember) | 01:42 |
| Areio | And it's still showing up on the menu? | 01:43 |
| j800r | yes | 01:43 |
| maco | DEED: oh then cp ~/Desktop/*.exe /media/disk/path/to/wherever/the/hell/it/goes | 01:43 |
| jamus | PhoenixUK: absolutly not | 01:43 |
| hagabaka | how can I install an older version of a package using aptitude? | 01:43 |
| Areio | j800r: Odd. Does it still function as a program? | 01:43 |
| j800r | areio not really | 01:43 |
| maco | DEED: you can ls /media/disk (or wherever it is), and cd around a bit to see where your user's desktop is on the windows disk | 01:43 |
| PhoenixUK | jamus there is only 'mount point' which I can access in 2 other partitions, but in the swap one its grayed out | 01:43 |
| amenado | hagabaka-> you find the .deb file for it and use dpkg -i xxx.deb to install | 01:43 |
| jamus | PhoenixUK: should be a window with an aroow next to it | 01:43 |
| Areio | j800r: That is to say, can you actually use it to run Windows programs like you used to? | 01:43 |
| * j800r checks | 01:44 | |
| amenado | PhoenixUK-> no mount needed for swap it auto create such | 01:44 |
| PhoenixUK | jamus its grayed out, cannot click anything | 01:44 |
| j800r | no | 01:44 |
| jamus | PhoenixUK: u hve to redifine it as swap | 01:44 |
| j800r | not at all | 01:44 |
| amenado | PhoenixUK-> no mount point needed for swap it auto create such | 01:44 |
| unop | hagabaka, sudo aptitude install package=2.6.12 | 01:44 |
| PhoenixUK | amenado cool, cheers | 01:44 |
| unop | hagabaka, 2.6.12 being the version you want to install | 01:44 |
| DEED | maco: cp: cannot create regular file `/media/R132254.EXE': Permission denied | 01:44 |
| hagabaka | unop: i used that but aptitude can't find the version | 01:44 |
| PhoenixUK | jamus it's defined as file system swap just without any mount point, amenado said its fine | 01:44 |
| hagabaka | and the version is in dpkg log so it shouldn't be wrong | 01:45 |
| Areio | j800r: Okay, just one more thing to check and see if it's still actually installed, and not just a stray menu entry. Go to System > Administration > Synaptec Package Manager. | 01:45 |
| unop | hagabaka, well, the repos have to have that version available or aptitude won't be able to install it quite obviously | 01:45 |
| kyncani | j800r: i think windows programs / wine install menu entries in some menu-xdg directory (it's a hidden dir) in your $HOME. So "find $HOME | grep menu-xdg". The look for the file that has been installed by wow and delete it yourself. | 01:45 |
| dualmonitortroub | Help. How do I setup my desktop to stretch across two monitors? | 01:45 |
| maco | DEED: sudo | 01:45 |
| hagabaka | does backports repo delete older versions? | 01:45 |
| crimsun | hagabaka: generally, yes. | 01:45 |
| PhoenixUK | amenado should I tick them for formatting or just the system one ? | 01:45 |
| jamus | PhoenixUK: ok i didnt remember totaly sorry for missleading u ;D | 01:46 |
| amenado | dualmonitortroub-> look into xinerama | 01:46 |
| Areio | j800r: After you enter your password, go to the Search button. Type in "wine", and see what comes up. | 01:46 |
| maco | hagabaka: apt-cache policy <packagename> | 01:46 |
| unop | hagabaka, it might -- but not usually | 01:46 |
| hagabaka | where can I find it then? | 01:46 |
| maco | hagabaka: the one with stars is the one you have | 01:46 |
| MrKennie_ | dualmonitortroub: what gfx card you got? | 01:46 |
| unop | hagabaka, apt-cache search package | 01:46 |
| amenado | PhoenixUK-> since it is first time, go ahead and tick em..to format a partition for swap use | 01:46 |
| hagabaka | i have the newer version installed already | 01:46 |
| j800r | areio: it doesn't mark any wine packages as installed | 01:46 |
| PorkSoda | Any one successfully tunnel x11vnc through SSL? | 01:46 |
| j800r | i'm guessing it's just leftovers | 01:46 |
| unop | hagabaka, apt-cache search package # lists all available versions | 01:46 |
| jamus | PhoenixUK: right , no munt for swap ,, well thats it dude | 01:46 |
| dualmonitortroub | MrKennie: thinkpad r51 with a Radeon 7500 | 01:46 |
| PhoenixUK | amenado cannot format the swap one, just the other 2 | 01:47 |
| hagabaka | unop: it just prints packagename - description for me | 01:47 |
| amenado | PorkSoda-> no more different than any other vnc | 01:47 |
| legend2440 | j800r: open your home folder and type ctrl+h is .wine folder still there? | 01:47 |
| amenado | PorkSoda-> oops i read it as ssh | 01:47 |
| Areio | j800r: Okay, then it's (oddly enough >.> ...and I may be wrong...) a stray menu entry. Right-click on "Applications", and click "Edit Menus". | 01:47 |
| jamus | PhoenixUK: its ok do it as is | 01:47 |
| Shpook | PhoenixUK: I could, but I also just found a bug in launchpad. https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/linux/+bug/177518 Seems to describe the exact same symptoms. | 01:47 |
| maco | hagabaka: use the policy one i said. it lists versions and what repo they come from | 01:47 |
| ubottu | Launchpad bug 177518 in linux "opengl total freeze using DRI with intel 945 graphics chip" [High,Fix committed] | 01:47 |
| PorkSoda | most vnc apps don't offer it built in without using a stunnel setup and the like | 01:47 |
| Rhorse | Hello, all. do any model of usb cd/dvd writer work? | 01:47 |
| DEED | maco: cp: cannot create regular file `/media/sda1/R132254.EXE': Read-only file system | 01:47 |
| genii | hagabaka: apt-cache policy <packagename> | 01:47 |
| Areio | legend2440: Good call. | 01:47 |
| PorkSoda | amenado, right | 01:48 |
| hagabaka | maco: i'm not interested in that, i want an *older* version | 01:48 |
| amenado | PhoenixUK-> let the system take care of it..it will do what it has to do to make a swap partition | 01:48 |
| hagabaka | it only shows me the current versions on repositories | 01:48 |
| j800r | areio: and just uncheck wine? | 01:48 |
| MrKennie_ | dualmonitortroub: have you tried via system settings? | 01:48 |
| j800r | legend: i already deleted that folder | 01:48 |
| maco | hagabaka: install the one you want, then lock version on it | 01:48 |
| unop | hagabaka, then your older version is not available from the repos -- either backport or build from source | 01:48 |
| Areio | j800r: Yes, uncheck wine... although I'm not sure why it would still be there if you uninstalled wine properly. *shrugs* | 01:48 |
| unop | DEED, what filesystem on /dev/sda1? | 01:49 |
| amenado | PorkSoda-> but you can start your x11vnc at the remote end, and just do a ssh -C -X -l username remotipaddress | 01:49 |
| maco | hagabaka: http://ubuntulinuxtipstricks.blogspot.com/2007/07/tip-lock-versions.html <-- how to lock versions | 01:49 |
| dualmonitortroub | MrKennie: yes, it will only display same image on both monitors. How do I stretch a single desktop to both? | 01:49 |
| hagabaka | maco: i can't find the version I want, i just know the version string, and that it was installed a few days ago. now it's not in the cache either | 01:49 |
| DEED | unop: winxp | 01:49 |
| PhoenixUK | amenado in advanced later there is an option to tick 'Install boot loader' , then below, device for boot loader installation : and '(hd0)' is entered in the box, is should i leave it ticked and entered as it is ? | 01:49 |
| acrousey | what am i doing wrong? I burned the CD, fixed the BIOS, but my Compaq Presario still will not boot. I have been looking around that others have been having problems with Compaq Presarios, but nothing is helping. | 01:49 |
| unop | DEED, mount | grep -i sda1 # what filesystem listed by this command? | 01:49 |
| j800r | areio: the world of warcraft path is still there as well, so maybe it has something to do with that :\ | 01:49 |
| Areio | j800r: in the menu? | 01:49 |
| PorkSoda | amenado, I know, I'd like to keep it all web app based, and I'd use the built in vino in that case. | 01:49 |
| Dr_willis | acrousey, hmm how about this.. what files are on the cd? if its a single .iso file you burnt it wrong. ( seen this happen befor) | 01:50 |
| DEED | unop: dev/sda1 on /media/disk type ntfs (rw,nosuid,nodev,umask=222,utf8) | 01:50 |
| DEED | /dev/sda1 on /media/sda1 type ntfs (ro,noexec,nosuid,nodev,fmask=0111,dmask=0000 | 01:50 |
| amenado | PhoenixUK-> if you are dual booting you install grub where-ever ubuntu is installed and not on MBR..if only linux install its okay to use hda | 01:50 |
| unop | hagabaka, make sure you have all the repos enabled then -- then aptitude update | 01:50 |
| Painless | So, I'm guessing the beta for Ubuntu 8.10 Incontinent Iguana should be out soon? | 01:50 |
| unop | DEED, what version of ubuntu? | 01:50 |
| hagabaka | i do | 01:50 |
| j800r | areio: yes, the path in the programs menu was still there, and that was after uninstalling through wine | 01:50 |
| maco | hagabaka: was it in the repos before? | 01:50 |
| hagabaka | yes | 01:50 |
| unop | hagabaka, what package and version are you looking for? | 01:50 |
| amenado | PorkSoda-> then you have to use a proxy for such | 01:50 |
| MrKennie_ | dualmonitortroub: try https://help.ubuntu.com/community/XineramaHowTo | 01:50 |
| DEED | mm i think old version 6 | 01:50 |
| maco | hagabaka: because if you go to http://archive.ubuntu.com/ you should be able to find it | 01:50 |
| amenado | PorkSoda-> then you have to use a proxy for such in your client that is* | 01:50 |

| ncfi1013 | ok i got amarok to "see' my ipod now i need help with getting amarok to sync my ipod. can anybody tell me a VERY SIMPLE way to do this? | 01:51 |
| unop | hagabaka, you on hardy? | 01:51 |
| DEED | unop: Description: Ubuntu 7.04 | 01:51 |
| DEED | Release: 7.04 | 01:51 |
| DEED | Codename: feisty | 01:51 |
| dualmonitortroub | MrKennie: thanks, I'll look into it. | 01:51 |
| Areio | j800r: I don't know much about Wine (although I use it occasionally), but maybe the reason that the menu entry is still there is because you didn't uninstall WOW from within Wine before you uninstalled Wine itself. I could be wrong, but you never know. | 01:51 |
| hagabaka | unop: yes | 01:51 |
| amenado | PorkSoda-> wait a second, x11vnc server? or you meant the viewer? | 01:51 |
| hagabaka | it was in hardy-backports | 01:51 |
| Rhorse | has anyone gotten a usb cd writer to work? | 01:51 |
| j800r | areio: i deffinately uninstalled it through wine | 01:52 |
| acrousey | it's the cdromupgrade, dists, doc, install, isolinux, md5sum.txt, pics, pool, preseed, README.diskdefine, and another ubuntu disc | 01:52 |
| Dr_willis | acrousey, thats good then. :) | 01:52 |
| unop | DEED, do not paste in here -- install the ntfs-3g package and remount the disk | 01:52 |
| j800r | it's kind of a shame, cause i only wanted it for world of warcraft, but ah well :| | 01:52 |
| unop | hagabaka, and it is still - http://packages.ubuntu.com/search?suite=hardy-backports&keywords=flashplugin-nonfree | 01:52 |
| DEED | unop i try apt-get install ntfs... but dont work | 01:52 |
| unop | hagabaka, make sure you have the multiverse section of hardy-backports enabled | 01:53 |
| PhoenixUK | jamus alrighty its formatting the partitions now, hope it works this time, thanks for the help :) | 01:53 |
| acrousey | dr_willis: could it still be the disc? | 01:53 |
| hagabaka | unop: that is 10.0.1.218+10.0.0.525ubuntu1~hardy1+really9.0.124.0ubuntu2, which is not the same version | 01:53 |
| unop | DEED, not ntfs but ntfs-3g | 01:53 |
| xxploit | deed apt-get install ntfs-3g | 01:53 |
| === DBLobster is now known as U09526 | ||
| Areio | j800r: Then I can't be sure as to why it's still listed. ^_^ Removing the menu entry is a quick-fix which will just gloss it over, but there are probably still traces of it left around somewhere. | 01:53 |
| Dr_willis | acrousey, could be i guess. You could try booting the disk in a different pc, or try a different live cd (like puppylinux) and seeif it boots the puppy cd | 01:53 |
| DEED | unop: E: Could not open lock file /var/lib/dpkg/lock - open (13 Permission denied) | 01:53 |
| DEED | E: Unable to lock the administration directory (/var/lib/dpkg/), are you root | 01:53 |
| amenado | DEED you are still running in liveCd right? | 01:53 |
| jamus | PhoenixUK: sure dude i fought with it for like 4 days | 01:53 |
| DEED | amenado: yes | 01:53 |
| hagabaka | it is a "newer" package but actually reverts the update to flash 10 and gives you 9, as it says "really9.0.124.0..." | 01:53 |
| xxploit | DEED, sudo apt-get install ntfs-3g | 01:54 |
| acrousey | dr_willis: alright, will try | 01:54 |
| fbianconi | does anyone has openarena installed on 8.04? | 01:54 |
| PorkSoda | amenado, No x11vnc server | 01:54 |
| unop | hagabaka, well, you can search packages.ubuntu.com - that version does not exist anymore as far as i can see -- | 01:54 |
| amenado | DEED which ubuntu version? i was not paying attention, not sure if hardy liveCD had ntfs-3g drivers | 01:54 |
| unop | hagabaka, are you sure you didn't get that version of a third party repo? | 01:55 |
| hagabaka | unop: i have the needed information in sources.list since that's how i got the older version installed in the last upgrade. after this upgrade it gave me a version that I don't want, and I would like the version from last upgrade | 01:55 |
| DEED | amenado: 7.04 | 01:55 |
| hagabaka | yes I am sure | 01:55 |
| DEED | amenado: feisty | 01:55 |
| PorkSoda | I run x11vnc via: x11vnc -ssl SAVE -forever -usepw -httpdir /usr/share/vnc-java/ -httpport 3113 -https 3117, and get the SSL cert, but when I enter my password it says connection refused without fail | 01:55 |
| hagabaka | the version is in hardy-backports changelog | 01:55 |
| amenado | DEED the liveCD for that version does not include ntfs-3g then..so go ahead and install per the advise of others | 01:55 |
| Areio | *Repeating my original question:* How would one create an .IMG file (a floppy image) from a folder? Is there a program for this somewhere? | 01:55 |
| DEED | amenado: what to install? | 01:56 |
| unop | hagabaka, well, hardy has 9.0, hardy has 10.0 (as shown on that page) -- the version you want no longer exists, it's possible that it was removed from the repos | 01:56 |
| jamus | PhoenixUK: u want ur sys to be windows ready ull have to do different partitioning since win defauls is the first part but u'll handle it (u are a certified partitioner now):P | 01:56 |
| amenado | DEED the ntfs-3g | 01:56 |
| DEED | amenado: but i cant ? | 01:56 |
| fbianconi | Im having a problem of dependencies to openarena-data can' t update it | 01:56 |
| unop | hagabaka, did you check that the .deb does not exist in /var/cache/apt/archives still ? | 01:56 |
| xxploit | DEED, sudo apt-get install ntfs-3g | 01:56 |
| hagabaka | yeah, it's not there | 01:56 |

| rockyrock | hi guys, i can't enter both OSs that i have. I have Ubuntu 8.04 and XP. When i start my computer GRUB gives this message: Error 22. and then it stops. I inserted the Ubuntu CD then after i chose the language i pressed F6 to enter the boot options then i wrote "rescue" then i got a lot of texts then the computer stops at Kernel Panic message. What should i do??? | 01:59 |
| rockyrock | what's the problem? | 01:59 |
| unop | hagabaka, i would download the beta from abode's site and install it manually | 01:59 |
| PorkSoda | amenado, All I do is go to my host:port and it asks to accept the SSL cert, which I do, then asks me to load the java VNC applet which I do, than login and it refuses me. | 02:00 |
| starn | anybody know if its possible to make TeamSpeak [linux client] to stop with the echos when i talk to people? all they hear is echos from me. | 02:00 |
| kyncani | oh, right, i though he wanted to downgrade. Well, you will have to wait until 10.0.1 is in backports again, or wait for 8.10 | 02:00 |
| PorkSoda | But it works fine when I don't use SSL | 02:00 |
| Navop | When asked for primary domaine, must it be a registered domaine, or anything? | 02:00 |
| PorkSoda | So firewall[s]/router etc is configured for sure | 02:00 |
| hagabaka | i don't get the point of putting an older package in backports to override an actual newer version in backports. people who wanted older packages should just pin it into the release repository | 02:00 |

| amenado | PorkSoda-> not sure how your client works, but typically they would have options to use the certificate that is a *.pem file somewhere in your file folders.. | 02:01 |

| unop | hagabaka, there might have been some dependency issues that needed flashplugin-nonfree at version 10.0.1 - which is why they packaged 9.0 this way | 02:02 |

| unop | rockyrock, well if memtest is reporting errors with your memory -- then i would believe that somewhere along the line, something happened with your hardware - your memory and possibly more, and if memtest reports so many errors, it's possibly that nothing is going to work well | 02:08 |

| kyncani | will00: 1) you should not install from source. 2) if you install from source, "checkinstall" (it's a package) is supposed to handle these kind of problems. 3) there should be a README or INSTALL file with instructions for deinstalling | 02:09 |

| kyncani | Flannel: yeah, well, i suppose d3v|2 will be able to handle that ;) | 02:24 |
| Kinks | I just did a dist-upgrade to hardy from gutsy, and I have no sound - alsamixer shows proper levels for pcm / master, all of the 'modules' packages for my kernel (2.6.24-19-generic) are installed, and.. why yes.. my speakers are even on. | 02:24 |
| d3v|2 | i read that 8.04 comes with x-chat | 02:25 |
| Kinks | any ideas what else I can try? | 02:25 |
| amenado | sensae it looks like your eth1 retained what ip addr it got from another network when you have it associated, look for a lease file and see if contain such address | 02:25 |
| d3v|2 | but i cant find it | 02:25 |
| MrKennie_ | DeFi: are you using the ATI drivers or the default ones? | 02:25 |
| Flannel | d3v|2: Not installed by default, but xchat-gnome and xchat are in the repos. | 02:25 |
| DeFi | MrKennie_: the default ones | 02:25 |
| d3v|2 | kk | 02:25 |
| sensae | amenado: It's never been associated before :) | 02:25 |
| kyncani | Kinks: you can try the livecd and see if you have sound. If you do, double-triple-check the volumes and all | 02:25 |
| amenado | L1nc01n-> so you must have the java installed on your system | 02:25 |
| === B47|away is now known as Bradj47 | ||

| Kinks | maybe I should just try an earlier kernel | 02:26 |
| Construction_Wor | I just installed Ubuntu with Wubi and after Ubuntu Loaded Busy Box came up with a command line. Does anyone know what I type there to get to my desktop character by character? | 02:26 |
| sliverchair | wine: Depends: libldap-2.4-2 (>= 2.4.7) which is a virtual package. PreDepends: dpkg (>= 1.14.12ubuntu3) but 1.14.5ubuntu16 is installed. What does this mean? | 02:26 |
| MrKennie_ | DeFi: ok, have you tried to change the settings in the system settings | 02:26 |
| MrKennie_ | ? | 02:26 |
| kyncani | Kinks: well, trying the livecd is easy enough, that's the first thing i would do | 02:26 |
| MrKennie_ | DeFi: such as resolution and colour depth | 02:27 |
| tech0007 | help....how come i can see other people's shares when i do 'smbclient -L 127.0.0.1' http://paste.ubuntu.com/27193/ | 02:27 |
| DeFi | MrKennie_: i havnt gone past the select driver screen, since no drivers i set work | 02:27 |
| Kinks | I'm not sure what the point is - I already know my sound card and speakers work fine, they were doing wonderful on gutsy. | 02:27 |
| MrKennie_ | DeFi: so you got no gui at all? | 02:27 |
| DeFi | MrKennie_: you can set resolution etc on that screen | 02:27 |
| amenado | sensae look for a file with lease on it in /var/lib/dhcp3 | 02:27 |
| pvl1 | someone help me with an opengl problem? | 02:28 |
| DeFi | MrKennie_: the gui i have in a window that i can set graphics card and screen settings | 02:28 |
| Kinks | the live cd isn't really the easiest thing right now, I'd have to download it and burn it :( | 02:28 |
| sensae | amenado: And then? | 02:28 |
| L1nc01n | amenado, well I think I do. I was trying to access H drive at school remotely from the web like I used to on Windows, but I just switched to Linux, and it said I needed to install the plugin... so I did and now it acts like it loads (it says "starting applet" in the status bar) but then it doesn't do anything | 02:28 |
| kyncani | Kinks: if they work with the live cd, then it's a volume / config thingie somewhere and not a driver pb | 02:28 |
| pvl1 | Kinks, apart from the levels, are they all on? | 02:28 |
| MrKennie_ | DeFi: ah ok, you should have ati or radeon as drivers options yes? | 02:29 |
| amenado | sensae look at the contents and see if you can find that 192.168.x.x | 02:29 |
| Kinks | define "on" - I'm not using gnome or kde | 02:29 |
| DeFi | MrKennie_: yes | 02:29 |
| MrKennie_ | you've tried both? | 02:29 |
| DeFi | MrKennie_: there are lots of ati radeon options | 02:29 |
| amenado | L1nc01n-> can you launch the applet from a command line? | 02:29 |
| DeFi | MrKennie_: but it shows like i have 2 graphics cards? | 02:29 |
| L1nc01n | no idea. I'm not quite sure how to do that | 02:30 |
| billgoldberg | ! beer | 02:30 |

| pvl1 | Kinks, what application u using to play media | 02:30 |
| DeFi | MrKennie_: yeah | 02:30 |
| Kinks | currently mocp | 02:30 |
| L1nc01n | amenado, and honestly I'm not quite sure what package it was that it installed | 02:30 |
| Kinks | although I've tried audacious as well to make sure it wasn't an issue with mocp. | 02:30 |
| MrKennie_ | DeFi: ok, press ctrl+alt+F1 | 02:30 |
| amenado | L1nc01n-> google for applet tutorial + firefox | 02:30 |
| MrKennie_ | you should get a command prompt | 02:31 |
| DeFi | MrKennie_: cant switch | 02:31 |
| Kinks | I suppose I should see if oss works at all. | 02:31 |
| DeFi | it just makes the gui jump around | 02:31 |
| DeFi | its really screwed up | 02:31 |
| DeFi | :< | 02:31 |
| MrKennie_ | DeFi: ooh.. er | 02:31 |
| MrKennie_ | DeFi: tried ctrl+alt+F2 upwards? | 02:32 |
| sensae | amenado: And what should I do with the file? | 02:32 |
| pvl1 | Kinks, does it know to use alsa? | 02:32 |
| amenado | sensae-> does it contain 192.168.x.x ? | 02:32 |
| Kinks | well, given it tries JACK, then ALSA, and successfully loads - I'd say so. | 02:32 |
| DeFi | MrKennie_: all makes green and blue graphic error lines at the top of the screen and makes gui jump around | 02:32 |
| pixelmonkey | I have gnome-applets installed but I can't seem to gain access to multiload-applet. Anyone else have this problem in hardy? | 02:32 |
| MrKennie_ | DeFi: damn | 02:32 |
| DeFi | MrKennie_: i managed to ssh in from this pc, so i got a terminal, what you want me to do? | 02:32 |
| sensae | amenado: The file is dhclient.eth1.leases, and inside it's blank | 02:33 |
| MrKennie_ | DeFi: ah ok, you running kdm or gdm? | 02:33 |
| pvl1 | Kinks, oh idk then brb | 02:33 |
| DeFi | gdm for gnome | 02:33 |
| DeFi | and i tried to install kde, but ignore that for now | 02:33 |

| DeFi | * Stopping GNOME Display Manager... [ OK ] | 02:34 |
| sensae | amenado: That one contains 192.168.x.x | 02:34 |
| DeFi | MrKennie_: but the gui is still on the box | 02:34 |
| MrKennie_ | and can you copy the contents of xorg.conf to pastebin so I can see what's going on | 02:34 |
| amenado | sensae that is where it gets that address..so delete all those leases files | 02:34 |
| DeFi | ok | 02:34 |
| MrKennie_ | DeFi: ok, don't worry about that for now | 02:34 |
| sensae | amenado: Okay, then? | 02:35 |
| pixelmonkey | does anyone know a good gnome-system-monitor alternative that integrates with gnome-panel? | 02:35 |
| DeFi | MrKennie_: err, gonna be hard to copy from nano | 02:35 |

| kayce | so if i made a seperate / they would all be seperate from my /home partitions? | 02:40 |

| pvl1 | getthearm, edit ur fstab | 02:40 |
| DeFi | MrKennie_: http://defirence.pastebin.com/dbb8b089 | 02:40 |

| MrKennie_ | DeFi: you have 2 device sections each with different drivers | 02:41 |
| sensae | amenado: It's a fairly popular chipset and driver | 02:41 |
| pablocpg | hello i have no sound in my toshiba satellite L35 sp1011 | 02:41 |
| DeFi | MrKennie_: yeah, it thinks i have 2 graphics cards or something? | 02:41 |
| pablocpg | somebody knows about that | 02:41 |
| MrKennie_ | DeFi: do you have onboard graphics? | 02:41 |
| pablocpg | i have working a lot on this | 02:41 |

| kjetil1001 | No answers! can sombdy pls tell me what I am supposed to see on the screeun under ububtu install? I see nothing!! | 02:42 |
| pablocpg | in all the linux distributions have no sound | 02:42 |
| amenado | sensae i dont know then, maybe the chip variations made a difference, not all atheros work well with madwifi | 02:42 |
| Construction_Wor | I just installed Ubuntu with Wubi and after Ubuntu Loaded Busy Box came up with a command line. Does anyone know what I type there to get to my desktop character by character? | 02:42 |

| getthearm | ok i am editing fstab but i dont see an obvious field for 'auto' | 02:43 |
| PhoenixUK | amenado freshly installed, but had exactly same error as previously, however, looks like changing IDE tapes, and disconnecting cd-rom somehow worked ... strange issue | 02:43 |
| DeFi | MrKennie_: no onboard gfx | 02:43 |
| fbianconi | DeFi: no, only the "Configured Video Device" is being used | 02:43 |
| getthearm | do i want to replace 'defaults' | 02:44 |
| pvl1 | Painless, ati radeon 2600, i used envyng and had everything runnign fine, then it stopped | 02:44 |
| MrKennie_ | DeFi: ok | 02:44 |
| MrKennie_ | yea, which is vesa | 02:44 |
| Painless | getthearm: you need a line like '/dev/scd1 /mnt/here ext3 auto 0 0 | 02:44 |
| amenado | PhoenixUK-> we sometimes have to hack to make things work, whatever it takes to get it working.. | 02:44 |
| getthearm | oh ok ok | 02:44 |
| getthearm | thanks | 02:44 |
| Painless | pvl1: have you tried enabling the restricted driver in 'Hardware Drivers' ? | 02:44 |
| fbianconi | on the screen section try deleting some of the big modes and try again | 02:44 |
| DeFi | i really dunno what i did that would screw up the drivers like this :/ | 02:44 |
| Painless | getthearm: most welcome | 02:45 |
| pvl1 | Painless, it just says its in use, but not checked | 02:45 |

| MrKennie_ | DeFi: open that file to edit with nano or whatever you prefer | 02:45 |
| Construction_Wor | I just installed Ubuntu with Wubi and after Ubuntu Loaded Busy Box came up with a command line. Does anyone know what I type there to get to my desktop character by character? | 02:46 |
| DeFi | MrKennie_: ok... | 02:46 |
| MrKennie_ | actually, if xorg.conf is renamed to .bak will it be automagically regenerated? | 02:46 |
| MrKennie_ | that is, move xorg.conf out of the way | 02:46 |
| pvl1 | Painless, ugh last time i tried that (i did other things too) it got all messy on me, but ill try just that again | 02:46 |
| DeFi | kk | 02:46 |
| PhoenixUK | Construction_Wor had same problem, been fighting with it for whole day, trying disconnecting any additional drives that you have including floppy drive | 02:46 |
| fbianconi | Construction_Wor is it a repair shell or a regular one? | 02:47 |
| Painless | pvl1: I feel your pain, I have ati also... but the restricted drivers work well for my 9500 pro | 02:47 |
| Construction_Wor | I'm kinda new but it seemed like a repair shell | 02:47 |
| DeFi | MrKennie_: and now restart? | 02:47 |
| bob3213243 | Hey guys, I'm running AWN and I'm getting these odd vertical white lines on the right side of the dock. anyone have this problem? | 02:48 |
| MrKennie_ | DeFi: if you rename it to xorg.conf.bak xorg will attempt to automatically detect your hardware. I've had reasonable results but mileage may vary | 02:48 |
| pvl1 | Painless, hm ill check it out | 02:48 |
| MrKennie_ | DeFi: yea restart | 02:48 |
| pvl1 | Painless, thnx | 02:48 |

| DeFi | with ubuntu gnome... | 02:53 |
| MrKennie_ | DeFi: kubuntu-kde4-desktop if you want kde4 | 02:53 |
| Painless | flatman: next thing to try is a 'sudo apt-get check' | 02:53 |
| MrKennie_ | DeFi: it will install along side your gname installation | 02:54 |
| MrKennie_ | DeFi: gnome | 02:54 |

| MrKennie_ | DeFi: command line do sudo dpkg-reconfigure gdm | 03:02 |
| Painless | flatman: from what I'm reading on this forum post, we need to find the package that didn't install right and --purge remove it | 03:03 |
| DeFi | LiMaO: yes, but that doesnt change the login screen | 03:03 |
| DeFi | MrKennie_: ooh | 03:03 |
| MrKennie_ | DeFi: then choose the option you want, gdm most likely | 03:03 |
| flatman | how? | 03:03 |
| DeFi | ok | 03:03 |

| Painless | flatman: I'm at work and have to go on a service call... try that command then try and run the 'sudo dpkg --configure -a' | 03:08 |
| McShane | DeFi, you can edit the menus to take out some of the KDE apps, if you want | 03:08 |
| Painless | I should be back shortly | 03:08 |
| flatman | I got the original error | 03:08 |
| DeFi | McShane: yeah | 03:08 |
| negri | there are a macros program for ubuntu? | 03:08 |
| MrKennie_ | DeFi: that will install the kubuntu kde4 desktop package set, it's a sort of virtual package which refers to abunch of stuff | 03:09 |
| lolll | hi | 03:09 |
| DeFi | so do you guys prefer kde or gnome? | 03:09 |

| MrKennie_ | DeFi: kubuntu-kde4-destop | 03:10 |
| lolll | anyone knows why | 03:10 |
| DeFi | MrKennie_: so it wont remove kde4-desktop? | 03:10 |
| MrKennie_ | DeFi: only the virtual package itself | 03:10 |

| danfg | Cpudan80: i'm having trouble with a gif in firefox | 03:14 |
| LiMaO | lolll: well, as far as this channel is concerned, downloading such videos from the internet violates some rules and copyright stuff. and i don't know of any site that broadcast such movies legally. so the local theatre may be an option to you. :) | 03:14 |
| Cpudan80 | I've set "open with ImageViewer" as the default -- but still no dice | 03:14 |
| Cpudan80 | thoughts? | 03:14 |
| gurs | LiMao: no problem man | 03:14 |
| flatman | nickrud: can you help me than? | 03:14 |
| gurs | LiMao: I just asked b.c I did see any rules in this channel | 03:15 |
| nickrud | flatman good chance. put the complete output from sudo dpkg --configure -a on paste.ubuntu.com , I'll take a look | 03:15 |

| nickrud | !usplash | DeFi | 03:16 |
| ubottu | DeFi: To select the usplash artwork you want, use "sudo update-alternatives --config usplash-artwork.so && sudo update-initramfs -u" - See https://help.ubuntu.com/community/USplashCustomizationHowto for adding your custom artwork | 03:16 |
| shaft0r | Hey guys, I just installed samba and was trying to get things rolling when I felt decided to uninstall because I thought that would create a new smb.conf, well, it didnt and I deleted it when i uninstalled, so now samba (new install) wont start. Any suggestions? | 03:16 |
| Cpudan80 | Troski: how do you mean distinct ? | 03:16 |
| nickrud | Fezzler if they're both hardy, they're the same version ;) | 03:16 |
| DeFi | thanks nickrud | 03:16 |
| flatman | done | 03:16 |
| LiMaO | gurs: no worries. it's just that copyright infringement hasn't been broadly accepted anymore nowhere on the internet. unfortunately i should say. | 03:16 |
| nickrud | flatman could you give me the link | 03:17 |
| gurs | LiMao: well thanks either way | 03:17 |
| Troski | well, the drive manager is listing the two drives as being the same, and the total space available the sum of both drives | 03:17 |
| Cpudan80 | Troski: Are you talking about the disk usage analyzer? | 03:18 |
| flatman | sorry, http://paste.ubuntu.com/27195/ | 03:18 |
| Troski | yes, sorry | 03:18 |
| nickrud | flatman is that everything? | 03:18 |
| flatman | yes | 03:18 |
| Cpudan80 | Troski: that's normal, if you want it to only show the one drive hit edit --> preferences | 03:18 |

| DeFi | gurs: xchat | 03:19 |
| nickrud | flatman then put the contents of /var/lib/dpkg/updates/0044 on the pastebin | 03:19 |
| LiMaO | gurs: give kvirc or xchat a try. | 03:19 |
| flatman | that is what happens when I type sudo dpkg --configure -a | 03:19 |
| flatman | I can't open 0044 | 03:19 |
| nickrud | flatman I had to ask, that's a new one :) | 03:19 |
| gurs | DeFi: where can I get it from or I should "apt-get install?? | 03:19 |
| nickrud | flatman try sudo cat /var/lib/dpkg/updates/0044 | 03:20 |
| McShane | flatman, what package is that? | 03:20 |
| nck | my laptop wifi led is blinking when there is traffic in/out, not blinking when internet traffic idle, is that normal ? m using ndiswrapper. | 03:20 |
| DeFi | gurs: you can use the synaptic packet manager | 03:20 |
| gurs | ok thanks | 03:20 |
| Olgem | nck, I don't see the problem, shouldn't it be blinking when there is traffic, and not when there is none? | 03:20 |
| merther | in Hardy while trying to setup wifi I've got to use ndiswrapper to use my BCM4306 driver and in the steps I'm supposed to do sudo modprobe ndiswrapper but I get the error FATAL: Module ndiswrapper not found. ndiswrapper was installed through the Synaptic Package Manager | 03:20 |
| shiv1285 | Hello!!! i have question???? I want to uninstall ubuntu? Does anybody knows how can i format my computer ???? | 03:20 |
| Troski | okay, thanks, i thought that was the root of my real problem but i guess not hehe, my real problem is that i have vista on hd0 and ubuntu on hd1 and when i disable the sata for hd0 ubuntu doesnt boot | 03:20 |
| flatman | http://paste.ubuntu.com/27197/ | 03:21 |
| shaft0r | After removing and reinstalling samba, I get the following error. dpkg: error processing samba (--configure): subprocess post-installation script returned error exit status 1 | 03:21 |
| McShane | !install | shiv1285 | 03:21 |
| ubottu | shiv1285: Ubuntu can be installed in a lot of ways. Please see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Installation for documentation. Problems during install? See https://wiki.ubuntu.com/CommonProblemsInstall. Don't want to use a CD? Try http://tinyurl.com/3exghs - See also !automate | 03:21 |
| Fezzler | nickrud: Okay. I screwed up. I had trouble with my Gutsy-to-Hardy upgrade, so I downloaded full Hardy, made CD, booted and installed. Now I have two partitions with Hardy. Not what I wanted. So, how do go about cleaning this mess up. I have two HDs in my system. On was the boot HD and the other was mounted as /home. | 03:21 |
| Cpudan80 | Troski: dont disable sata then :-) | 03:21 |
| Cpudan80 | Troski: the real problem is you have vista :-P | 03:21 |
| nck | Olgem: ya. that is what i see. if i use iwl3945, the led is on all the time. but in ndiswrapper, blinking when traffic in/out. | 03:21 |
| nickrud | Fezzler a sec, I need to concentrate on flatman's for a sec. | 03:21 |
| Troski | yeah i know hehe | 03:21 |
| McShane | shiv1285, sorry, I misread your message | 03:21 |
| Troski | is there a workaround though? is it a bios problem or a grub problem? | 03:22 |
| Fezzler | nickrud: I'll wait :) | 03:22 |
| _xyz | would it be possible to install ubuntu on one HDD, then install Wine or Cedega, and point to the windows Steam directory to play Valve games? | 03:22 |
| McShane | shiv1285, do you have another operating system on your computer? | 03:22 |
| _xyz | where the steam dir would be on another HDD | 03:22 |
| shiv1285 | not yet | 03:22 |
| nickrud | flatman ls /var/lib/dpkg/updates , if there's more than the file 0044, let me know | 03:22 |
| _xyz | shiv1285: but they're working on it? | 03:22 |
| Olgem | _xyz, probably, ask in #wine or #winehq (I forget which one) | 03:22 |
| shiv1285 | Mcshane: I want to install Vista on it!! i have the CD for it | 03:22 |
| _xyz | ahh | 03:22 |
| flatman | That is everything!:) | 03:23 |
| Cpudan80 | Troski: when you disable sata - you fundamentally change how the device looks to both windows in vista -- you'd have to rewrite the bootloader each time you switch back and forth | 03:23 |
| nickrud | flatman ok, what we'll try is moving that file out of the way, and then checking dpkg's status. sudo mv /var/lib/dpkg/updates/0044 ~/Desktop | 03:23 |
| shiv1285 | Mcshane: When i put the vista CD in my drive it just hangs on the first screen | 03:23 |
| moderatelybc | not a big problem at the moment, but my shift and caps lock key aren't working all of sudden. any ideas/ | 03:23 |
| Cpudan80 | Troski: seriously though, you should keep sata enabled | 03:24 |
| McShane | shiv1285, that sounds like a problem that you should be able to solve in the #windows channel | 03:24 |
| gurs | see you all, bye | 03:24 |
| DeFi | Is there any way to switch users and login to a different session using the same account? | 03:24 |
| flatman | this time it's 0045 | 03:24 |
| LiMaO | moderatelybc: whenever a key (or group of them) stops working on my keyboard i tend to punch the whole keyboard aggressively. when i don't break the keyboard it works 100% of the time. | 03:24 |
| Troski | so if sata0 is disabled and sata1 and 2 are enabled it wont boot | 03:25 |
| nickrud | flatman that's the only file there? | 03:25 |
| shiv1285 | Mcshane: What is #windows channel | 03:25 |
| flatman | what do you mean? Where's there | 03:25 |
| smallfoot- | shiv1285, its a channel about Microsoft Windows, you know the other operating system... | 03:25 |
| DeFi | McShane: you have any idea? | 03:25 |
| nickrud | flatman you said the file name was 0045 , is that the only file in that updates directory? | 03:25 |
| DeFi | meh ;/ | 03:25 |
| flatman | no | 03:26 |
| nickrud | flatman you said yes earlier :) ls /var/lib/dpkg/updates , put the output on the pastebin | 03:26 |
| Troski | so could i change my ubuntu hd to sata0 and change the loader to hd0? | 03:27 |

| Shujah | Tim-S, one can prey once you develop a new OS it's open source and available to masses :D | 03:41 |
| philwyett | bob3213243_: Look at https://help.ubuntu.com/community/VNCOverSSH#VNC%20+%20SSH | 03:41 |
| Flannel | DeFi: There is no -686 kernel. -generic is the one you want | 03:41 |
| bazhang | Tim-S, keep in mind it is not a support channel | 03:41 |
| nickrud | SebNaitsabes google fu like kung-fu, takes training and experience to do it well ;) | 03:41 |
| Tim-S | I'm not looking for support, just some advice | 03:41 |
| Fezzler | nickrud: Good. Okay. I have two harddrives in my computer. A small 6gig I used as the boot drive and a big 200gig a mounted as /home. | 03:41 |
| SPYderZ | bazhang: this isnt really support | 03:41 |
| SPYderZ | ya... | 03:42 |
| pvl1 | whats "VideoOverlay""on" in xorg.conf? | 03:42 |
| DeFi | Flannel: Ubuntu will install a 386 kernel for x86 machines, which probably isn't what you'd want if you've got a Pentium II or better CPU. The 386 kernel is compiled to work with just about any x86 CPU, but extensions that appear in later CPUs can give your system a boost, if they're taken advantage of. To replace the kernel, open Synaptic or Adept and search for linux-image. You'll see several choices. Pick the one that best sui | 03:42 |
| SebNaitsabes | nickrud: whatever that means | 03:42 |
| DeFi | sorry for long paste | 03:42 |
| nickrud | Fezzler and you did another install, and ended up with two hardy installs you said? | 03:42 |
| Fezzler | nickrud: my upgrade from Gutsy to Hardy was buggy. So I downloaded complete Hardy CD and reinstalled. | 03:42 |
| Fezzler | nickrud: Yes. | 03:42 |
| Flannel | DeFi: No. Ubuntu installs the generic kernel by default. That website is outdated (by 20 months) | 03:43 |
| L1nc01n | SPYderZ, I see audio conferencing and it has Sound Playback (set to autodetect) and Sound capture, set to ALSA | 03:43 |
| DeFi | Flannel: ok, thanks :p | 03:43 |
| Shujah | L1nc01n, you can try the options and test - | 03:43 |
| SPYderZ | test | 03:43 |
| bazhang | SPYderZ, you are asking about 32 vs 64bit ubuntu? | 03:43 |
| DeFi | haha, only looked at the date now.. June 21, 2006 | 03:43 |
| nickrud | Fezzler ok, when you boot up ubuntu, the one that boots would be the latest (assuming you didn't do anything special). If you look at /boot/grub/menu.lst, the new install will be above the line with END DEBIAN AUTOMAGIC , and the older should be below that line | 03:43 |
| L1nc01n | SPYderZ, none of them respond on the sound capture | 03:43 |
| Fezzler | nickrud: Here is what I'd like to do if possible. Keep the new Hardy boot install on the 6gig. Delete the old and give all its space to the new. And again mount the existing /home on the 200gig. Possible? | 03:43 |
| pvl1 | whats "VideoOverlay""on" in xorg.conf? | 03:43 |
| SPYderZ | bazhang: ya basicly | 03:44 |
| flatman | nickrud: the error output is here http://paste.ubuntu.com/27201/ | 03:44 |
| Fezzler | nickrud: Yes, it boots to the new install. | 03:44 |
| Shujah | L1nc01n, http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?p=4928900 <-try some suggestions inthis page otherwise there is good highly detailed guide for pulseaudio google | 03:44 |
| SPYderZ | actually im asking if the 64bit has 32 bit subsystem why is everyone complaining | 03:44 |
| Fezzler | nickrud: Is it possible to do what I want to do? | 03:44 |
| L1nc01n | <SPYderZ> okay thanks | 03:44 |
| nickrud | flatman I need all the output, not just the end | 03:44 |
| SebNaitsabes | Fezzler: when new kernels are installed (assuming you didn't do something differnet from the default) they will keep on adding them to Grub. or the menu.lst if you like. then you can remove the kerenls your self and they will not be in menu.lst anymore | 03:45 |
| LollyDays | hi, I'm trying to install my netgear wg111t USB wireless, and I used ndiswrapper like the forum suggested, but I can't connect! | 03:45 |
| bazhang | SPYderZ, unless you have huge amounts of ram or want to do heavy video compositing, no real advantage to using 64bit at this point; the 32bit generic kernel does fine with 64bit cpu | 03:45 |
| Fezzler | nickrud: I have nothing on the old upgraded install that I can't live without | 03:45 |
| m_newton | back | 03:45 |
| nickrud | Fezzler yes, but first determine which partition is which. | 03:45 |
| m_newton | making bot less noisy | 03:45 |
| Fezzler | nickrud: Okay. How? | 03:45 |
| SPYderZ | bazhang: see this is what i don't get.... 64 bit OS's are good for 64bit CPU's . and yes.. memory is not a problem | 03:45 |
| nickrud | Fezzler another way to tell is to look at /etc/fstab. one will be mounted on / , the other somewhere in media | 03:45 |
| SPYderZ | im jsut asking why compatibility problems | 03:46 |
| Fezzler | nickrud: I do have Gnome Partition Editor installed | 03:46 |
| flatman | nickrud: http://paste.ubuntu.com/27202/ | 03:46 |
| nickrud | Fezzler later for that | 03:46 |
| SebNaitsabes | SPYderZ: usaully people say better to go with 32bit Ubuntu than 64bit Ubuntu even on 64bit proccessor, because of certain issues with 64bit Ubuntu | 03:46 |

| nickrud | flatman do sudo dpkg --purge clamav-base clamav-freshclam clamav clamtk | 03:48 |

| SebNaitsabes | CoddEr: you need a boot loader of some sort to boot Ubuntu | 03:51 |

| CodddEr | SebNaitsabes are you sure ? its just i command that i can run in grub not ? ( not to install it ) to run command for starting NOW once partition that i want ? | 03:53 |
| SebNaitsabes | CoddEr: I think there is a way to have Ubuntu only on a computer without a bootloader | 03:53 |
| CodddEr | SebNaitsabes that is waht i have | 03:53 |
| flatman | it worked perfectly. Thank you very much! | 03:53 |
| CodddEr | so how i can start it now | 03:53 |
| SebNaitsabes | CoddEr: however with a boot loader you get advantages such as recovery mode and memtest86 and all the kernels you have installed by default listed there | 03:54 |
| CodddEr | cuz now i have the windows bootloader ... | 03:54 |
| SebNaitsabes | CoddEr: that's with Grub | 03:54 |
| nickrud | flatman you're welcome | 03:54 |
| nickrud | flatman you can just delete those other files now | 03:54 |
| Fezzler | nickrud: Is that what you needed? | 03:54 |
| CodddEr | SebNaitsabes i know what are the advantages of bootloader i have many pcs with linux | 03:54 |
| CodddEr | ok how with grub ? | 03:54 |
| SebNaitsabes | CoddEr: how do you boot Ubuntu? | 03:54 |
| nickrud | Fezzler yes. I think I know what I'm seeing here. sdb1 was the old install, and sdb5 is the new? | 03:54 |
| SebNaitsabes | CoddEr: yes you can get Grub installed and it will go over your MBR. getting rid of the Windows boot loader. and it will be able to boot Windows as well | 03:55 |

| Fezzler | nickrud: I guess I don't know for sure | 03:56 |
| SebNaitsabes | CoddEr: what do you mean start Ubuntu once? | 03:56 |
| nickrud | Fezzler erm, let me repeat: sdb5 is the new, sdb1 is the /home you want (both on the 200gb) , and sda1 is the old install on the 6gb | 03:56 |
| Shujah | Fut_, none of the icons are showing | 03:57 |
| SebNaitsabes | CoddEr: the Windows boot loader can be edited to be able to boot Ubuntu as well as I put before | 03:57 |

| Guest26120 | hi... | 03:58 |
| Fezzler | nickrud: I want the 6g to be the ONLY boot partition and give all the remaining HD space to the new hardy install. Delete the old install. Then once again redirect or remount the 200g as /home | 03:58 |
| blue112 | (without makes all my system use proxy) | 03:58 |
| SebNaitsabes | CoddEr: you just want the Windows boot loader to be able to boot Ubuntu, without it using Grub to boot Ubuntu I see | 03:58 |
| d0wn | how do i add to environment variables | 03:58 |
| SebNaitsabes | CoddEr: not sure, this could be one that is more for the #windows channel since it's about editing the Windows boot loader so it can do what you want | 03:59 |
| Fezzler | nickrud: The old boot image(?) on the 6g is the buggy upgrade from Gutsy to Hardy. The new is a new Hardy install. | 03:59 |
| nickrud | Fezzler we need to make sure we're using the same terminology. You want the 6gb (sda) to be the ubuntu install and it's swap, and all of the 200gb (sdb) to be /home | 03:59 |
| CodddEr | SebNaitsabes no i want to enter somehow to ubuntu with changing any bootloader or the mbr | 03:59 |

| ionstorm6 | never drag a autohid bar over a none hiding bar | 04:02 |
| nickrud | Fezzler ok. You can copy over the install from sdb5 to sda1, and delete sdb2,5 and 6 and resize the sdb1 to take the whole disk. However, it's been a very long time since I moved around an install like that (2003?04?). | 04:02 |
| name_name | I have booted in to my hardy hareon live cd and was wondering if there was a way I can login to my old fresty system before upgrading | 04:02 |

| Fezzler | nickrud: This possible? The 200g mounted as /home should be easy and give me all my users back. That's why I set it up that way. | 04:02 |
| name_name | but I for got | 04:02 |
| CodddEr | SebNaitsabes not i mean something likee this , enter any live cd , start grub , and then NOT to install it , just to use it to start some kernel | 04:02 |

| CodddEr | SebNaitsabes no | 04:03 |
| SebNaitsabes | CoddEr: why then? | 04:03 |
| nickrud | Fezzler possible. But, it would probably be faster to reinstall ubuntu to sda1, after resizing the sdb (200gb) in the live cd. | 04:03 |
| CodddEr | SebNaitsabes i know how to config windows boot loader and grub | 04:03 |

| Shujah | ionstorm6, rm -rf .gnome .gnome2 .gconf .gconfd .metacity (be warned it will be like entering gnome for the first time all settings/configs will be erased) | 04:05 |
| CodddEr | SebNaitsabes , ok this is the only option ? | 04:05 |
| nickrud | Fezzler you don't need to, you could simply designate sdb1 as /home during the install (ask for manual partitioning). But if you delete the sdb2,5, & 6 and expand the sdb1, you'd get all the disk for /home | 04:05 |
| pvl1 | LiMaO, no idea, i had envyng install my driver for me first and it was all good, then in rsetricted drivers, it said in use but wasnt checked, so i chcked it, then trem and other games stop running, compiz was fine. then i used envyng, nothing changed, now i chose restricted again and its ewy. compiz nor games run. i have a readon 2600 HD | 04:05 |

| mercutio22 | hi. X just restarted by itself. Can someone help me diagnose? | 04:10 |
| SebNaitsabes | ShadowBelmolve: also usally people recommend 32bit Ubuntu even on a 64bit proccessor, because of certain issues with 64bit Ubuntu | 04:11 |
| LiMaO | pvl1: it's safe to | 04:11 |
| ShadowBelmolve | SebNaitsabes, ok, and with other OS? | 04:11 |
| DarkAudit | SebNaitsabes: I must've not found those issues yet :) | 04:11 |
| SebNaitsabes | you use 64bit then? | 04:11 |
| SebNaitsabes | well Flash and something else as in the issues | 04:12 |
| dstrbdfrk1 | i dont think my svideo plug is working is there a way i can test it?? | 04:12 |
| ShadowBelmolve | SebNaitsabes, the OS will only edit videos, to personal use i have this | 04:12 |
| pvl1 | LiMaO, it didnt turn it off | 04:12 |
| doodoohead | holy crap thats a big user list | 04:12 |
| SebNaitsabes | ShadowBelmolve: if DarkAudit uses 64bit Ubuntu and is saying something else well then listen to him | 04:12 |
| SebNaitsabes | ShadowBelvolve: yeah should be alright for that | 04:12 |
| LiMaO | pvl1: i have no idea what is locking that from being disabled | 04:13 |
| doodoohead | hows everyone | 04:13 |
| doodoohead | ? | 04:13 |
| SebNaitsabes | ShadowBelvole: if you have issues that you can't solve or whatever you can always put 32bit one on later anyway | 04:13 |
| DeFi | wow kde4 is noisy | 04:13 |
| DarkAudit | SebNaitsabes: I'm not a power user by any means... | 04:13 |

| ShadowBelmolve | SebNaitsabes, hey, the 64 bits will only edit videos, not will use flash or other thing, SO + cinelerra + ffmpeg only | 04:14 |
| SebNaitsabes | ShadowBelvole: yes probably won't have much of a performance issue, but if you got a 64bit proccessor yep put 64bit Ubuntu on | 04:14 |
| SebNaitsabes | ShadowBelvole: I meant performance gain | 04:15 |
| DeFi | when kde4 starts it doesnt start kmix and even if you start kmix yourself, all sound is channeled directly to the soundcard at full volume... that sucks | 04:15 |
| nickrud | the only real issue with 64bit is java plugin in firefox. there's a workaround (installing a 32bit version) | 04:15 |
| SebNaitsabes | DeFi: KDE hummmmmmm you should be in kubuntu for that I think | 04:15 |
| DeFi | SebNaitsabes :P | 04:16 |
| nickrud | Shell_n00B if no one steps up here soon, you could try #bash | 04:16 |
| SebNaitsabes | nickrud: well by the sounds of it he won't be using Java so not a problem for him then | 04:16 |

| curtis | sebnaitsabes: is there any difference? | 04:25 |
| Fezzler_ | nickrud, At main menu | 04:25 |
| SebNaitsabes | curtis: I would suggest to install Ubuntu on your PC psyically | 04:25 |
| izmeh | pvl1, the partition freeze up | 04:25 |
| SebNaitsabes | curtis: and if you want to try out other distros I would suggest to do that in virtual machines | 04:25 |
| nickrud | Fezzler_ I think we'll skip resizing your /home partition. There's a possibility of data loss. So, what we'll do is start the installer. You'll do all the step up to the partitioning. Tell me when you get there. | 04:25 |
| flatman | name_name: go to terminal | 04:25 |
| name_name | k | 04:25 |
| pvl1 | izmeh, yay! so now it reads fine without freezing and stuff? amarok works? | 04:26 |

| name_name | in the term.. | 04:26 |
| flatman | and enter sudo nautilus | 04:26 |
| nickrud | Fezzler_ yes. You have a little wasted space on there, but that's all right | 04:26 |
| SebNaitsabes | curtis: also mint like Ubuntu I guess has a Live CD that you can boot your computer from to try | 04:26 |
| curtis | sebnaitsabes: that is a good idea what do you think the second best linux distro is other then ubuntu? | 04:26 |

| roe_ | pvl1, you can install grub anywhere you would like, it is usually only helpful if installed to an MBR that you can boot from | 04:33 |

| flatman | name_name: try right-clicking on one of those folders then clicking properties | 04:33 |
| pvl1 | roe_, but by default where would it install if ubuntu is on an external | 04:34 |
| unop | pvl1, it depends on which device you install grub too -- it doesn't really matter whether the partition exists on an internal or external drive -- see the grub manpage | 04:34 |
| name_name | flatman: just did that a second before you said that | 04:34 |

| flatman | name_name: which are in your home folder | 04:37 |

| Shujah | dudeperson, any experience using nero its available on ubuntu | 04:54 |
| someguy222 | everything else seems to work ok, just flash has no sound | 04:54 |
| renatoanrr | #ubuntu-br | 04:54 |

| smallfoot- | make so i can rename device volume label on partition - http://img150.imageshack.us/img150/3985/labelab6.png | 04:55 |
| Shujah | dudeperson, there are other alternatives but if you know the interface nero would be better, google nero they ahve a .deb file | 04:55 |
| dudeperson | ok | 04:55 |
| mapp | Aaron2? | 04:56 |
| moderatelybc | Whenever I want to watch an online flash video full screen such as YouTube or Hulu, there is a constant flickering between full screen and the normal size. Any ideas? | 04:56 |

| mapp | firefox 10 beta? | 04:56 |
| mapp | lol | 04:56 |
| Aaron2 | I've gone through network manager, but it doesn't give me net. I put in my WPA code, set it to shared code, DHCP, no dice | 04:56 |
| someguy222 | *flash 10 | 04:56 |
| mapp | not a clue try xmpp4moz maybe | 04:56 |
| mapp | did you check /etc/network/interfaces file? | 04:57 |
| Aaron2 | me? | 04:57 |
| mapp | yes | 04:57 |
| Aaron2 | no, how do I do that? (total noob) | 04:57 |
| mapp | sudo nano /etc/network/interfaces | 04:58 |
| doug_ | \server alton-moore.net | 04:58 |

| PainThinner | does new version of ubuntu work with sagem fast modem ? | 05:00 |
| PainThinner | an usb modem | 05:00 |
| Aaron2 | I'm showing: | 05:00 |
| someguy222 | ive tried practically everything I could to get flash working with sound and cannot figure it out for the life of me | 05:00 |
| Aaron2 | iface wlan0 inet dhcp | 05:00 |

| Aaron2 | I would, but I'm on my other computer | 05:00 |
| mapp | ah ok | 05:00 |
| Aaron2 | can't get to my router right now | 05:00 |
| PainThinner | does it work with USB modem ? | 05:01 |
| mapp | someguy222 have you rebooted-i have problems with flash sometimes, reboot seems to cure it (i assume you tried) | 05:01 |
| Eyes`Only | someguy222: sudo aptitude install libflashsupport | 05:01 |
| Shujah | PainThinner, google soft/win modem linux + your model no | 05:01 |
| mapp | PainThinner - by the looks of it, from the google results (which you could have done0 - no | 05:01 |
| mapp | http://brainstorm.ubuntu.com/idea/4864/ | 05:01 |
| Aaron2 | It all looks okay, doens't iit? | 05:01 |
| someguy222 | yeah I tried | 05:01 |
| someguy222 | :/ | 05:01 |
| someguy222 | the wiki says not to apt-get libflashsupport as it doesnt support OSS | 05:02 |
| someguy222 | ? | 05:02 |
| sonicreindeer | Can seem to config my card in my laptop to talk to my router. Any words of wisdom this eve? | 05:02 |
| Eyes`Only | someguy222: not sure about the OSS thing, but it's fixed flash sound on every ubuntu box I've tried it on | 05:02 |
| Shujah | someguy222, also try switch to flash-nonfree its more stable | 05:03 |
| name_name | the drive is now empty | 05:03 |
| someguy222 | its asking me to remove oss-linux | 05:03 |
| someguy222 | which I can't do | 05:03 |
| someguy222 | flashnon-free huh | 05:03 |
| stephans_ | where you ssh -X -Y susebox & run vmware server console, and power on 2 server at once X windows on Ubuntu crashes. | 05:03 |
| Shujah | someguy222, yeah search for it | 05:03 |
| stephans_ | I presume that you want me to attach a log of some sort and file a bug report... so where what and how? | 05:04 |
| Eyes`Only | or just upgrade to flash10, where sound works without libflashsupport | 05:04 |
| Eyes`Only | flash10b2 is more stable for me than flash9 final ever was | 05:05 |
| someguy222 | I just uninstalled flash10 | 05:05 |
| PainThinner | mapp I need to install 2 files first ? | 05:05 |
| stephans_ | I think that it is a crying shame, just like BSOD to allow X to crash | 05:06 |
| someguy222 | i had no sound with flash10 | 05:06 |
| Eyes`Only | someguy222: you installed it by compiling and copying the .so? | 05:06 |
| someguy222 | yeah | 05:06 |
| stephans_ | nobody cares? | 05:06 |
| stephans_ | k | 05:06 |
| someguy222 | and i got nothing | 05:06 |
| Eyes`Only | weird, i'm using it right now | 05:06 |
| someguy222 | 64-bit ubuntu with an x-fi? | 05:06 |
| Ashfire908 | Hi, I'm installing Ubuntu 8.04 LTS Desktop from the LiveCD, and I would to verify that in the advanced settings on step 7, the http proxy is for apt (only). | 05:06 |
| someguy222 | oss? | 05:06 |
| Eyes`Only | no, alsa and pulseaudio | 05:07 |
| Eyes`Only | i can try to switch my engine to oss and see | 05:07 |
| PainThinner | I am not good at computers :P | 05:07 |
| someguy222 | yeah im oss only in order to get the xfi working | 05:07 |
| someguy222 | i think that might be why | 05:07 |
| someguy222 | but i cant figure out why everything else works but flash | 05:07 |
| brad_ | I just installed HH and all updates, now I have a Blank Disk Icon on the desktop that shouldn't be there as I don't have a Blank Disk in either drive. Further, I can't open my DVD burner ... likely related. I saw another post that cured this with a reboot. No to for me. | 05:08 |
| Eyes`Only | ok i switched to oss, going to restart ff and try it | 05:08 |
| someguy222 | k | 05:08 |
| someguy222 | well your alsa and pureaudio work | 05:08 |
| someguy222 | mine dont | 05:09 |
| someguy222 | just oss | 05:09 |
| Ashfire908 | Is the only use for the http proxy in the GUI 8.04 desktop installer for apt? | 05:09 |
| Shujah | brad2_, sudo fdisk -l how many cdroms you see? | 05:09 |
| Eyes`Only | ff worked, wonder if it used the oss tho | 05:09 |
| someguy222 | thats what i was gonna say yea | 05:09 |
| Ashfire908 | someguy222: i think pulseaudio can use oss. | 05:09 |
| banisterfiend | hey guys what's a good and lightweight UML modeling tool for gnome? | 05:09 |
| someguy222 | pulse reports an error when testing in the sound manager | 05:09 |
| banisterfiend | i dont want a fully fledged IDE, just a UML modeling tool | 05:10 |
| Ashfire908 | someguy222: prob needs to be configured to use oss... | 05:10 |
| brad_ | Shujah none at all just my HDD partitions | 05:10 |
| DIL | how would i update vbox from 1.5 to 1.6 do i uninstall 1.5 and reinstall 1.6 - i dont have the headers to install guest additions | 05:10 |
| someguy222 | how can I do that? again im a total noob | 05:10 |
| teamtrimble | hey all! any lawyers in here? | 05:10 |
| Ashfire908 | someguy222: I don't know. | 05:10 |
| PainThinner | I cant write the file to disk.it is too big | 05:10 |
| PainThinner | dowload file | 05:11 |
| glitsj16 | someguy222: Ashfire908 is correct, start OSS apps with "padsp <app-name>" to use pulseaudio | 05:11 |
| Shujah | oh sorry that weas terminal > cd /media ls | 05:11 |
| fbianconi | banisterfiend I try a long ago umbrello, it wasn't quite stable, but I'm talking like 2 years ago | 05:11 |
| teamtrimble | looking to remaster ubuntu similar to the way Dell did. Trying to get restricted format support for my customers, even if I haveto pay for it. | 05:11 |
| Ashfire908 | someguy222: I just know pulseaudio ties things like oss and alsa together with apps. yeah, there you go. | 05:11 |
| someguy222 | ok i just tested it and selecting alsa works apparently | 05:12 |
| someguy222 | not sure how that happened | 05:12 |
| Eyes`Only | someguy222: pulseaudio -L module-oss | 05:12 |
| Ashfire908 | teamtrimble: you mean the dvd stuff? | 05:12 |
| brad_ | Shujah : cdrom cdrom0 cdrom1 | 05:12 |
| someguy222 | it keeps saying device or resource busy | 05:13 |
| teamtrimble | Ashfire908, that, and mp3 and such. i believe that fluendo sells the legal (USA) codecs, but not for DVD. I heard there's a LinDVD product for that | 05:13 |
| someguy222 | but nothings open :/ | 05:13 |
| Ashfire908 | teamtrimble: I know there is a restricted extras package, if that is what you are talking about, which is free (as in beer, not freedom). | 05:13 |
| brad_ | cat /etc/fstab |grep cdrom returns both drives with udf,iso9660 user,noauto,exec,utf8 0 0 | 05:14 |
| brad_ | on /dev/scd0 and 1 | 05:14 |
| someguy222 | brb | 05:14 |
| teamtrimble | Ashfire908, I don't think that it's legal in the USA, I know where it is, but the last thing I want is for the RIAA to come after me or my customers. | 05:15 |
| mac-p200 | damn it | 05:16 |
| teamtrimble | Ashfire908, Personally, I think that it sucks, but as a business owner, i have more concerns than the average joe :) | 05:16 |
| mac-p200 | compiz hates me | 05:16 |
| Shujah | brad2_, you didnt use any image manipulating software like acetonel? | 05:16 |
| mac-p200 | it freezes my system | 05:16 |
| teamtrimble | mac-p200, what hw do you have? | 05:16 |
| hkittysmoothie | Espeak will not run for me -- it says it can not read the data file. | 05:16 |

| hkittysmoothie | Espeak will not run for me -- it says it can not read the data file. Can anyone help with this? | 05:19 |
| Ashfire908 | teamtrimble: there is a a libdvdcss package somewhere, it will deencrypt dvds so they can be played, which is alos legal. | 05:19 |
| nickrud | !dvdcss | 05:19 |
| ubottu | Sorry, I don't know anything about dvdcss | 05:19 |
| Ashfire908 | teamtrimble: If this stuff wasn't legal, a lot of people would have gotten sued already or something | 05:19 |
| nickrud | !libdvdcss | 05:19 |
| ubottu | 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 | 05:19 |
| Shujah | brad2_, it's a bug the dvd writer not being picked there is a work around but you'll have to get your hands dirty. | 05:19 |
| glitsj16 | someguy222: you did have it working under ALSA just yet no ? | 05:20 |
| brad_ | Shujah i dont have a problem getting my hands dirty, im not afraid of the terminal or anything like that ive been using linux awhile | 05:20 |
| hkittysmoothie | espeak will not run for me, it says that it can not read the data files and exits with a segmentation fault. Can anyone help? | 05:21 |
| teamtrimble | Ashfire908, I don't know. Why do we get the warnings about not being legal in USA and same for libdvdcss if it's legal? | 05:21 |
| Shujah | brad_ ok then open grub\menu.lst and after defoptions add this line all_generic_ide=1 , reboot and see if dvd-w works | 05:21 |

| Ashfire908 | teamtrimble: It says to check your local laws, it doesn't change the message for different contries | 05:25 |
| Ashfire908 | Phantom155K: saysing help me please won't help, and i'm not offering to help you, but you have to say your issue before someone can help you | 05:25 |
| fbianconi | Phantom155K sure, what is the problem? | 05:25 |
| glitsj16 | someguy222: oh i see, misread your post in that respect sorry | 05:25 |
| Shujah | dru, are you using compiz its not that stable and maxi/mini windows has that effect on some pcs | 05:26 |

| Phantom155K | i downloaded the iso and burned it to CD (yes as an image) And the menu comes up | 05:26 |
| DeFi | ok, ive found the best website ever! | 05:26 |
| Phantom155K | but when I try to install it, it won't do anything | 05:26 |
| dru | shujah: i will be watching a movie in vlc, and minimize it to answer a chat, then go back to it... then like an hour later i am trying to make a pic in photoshop and minimize photoshop to answer my aim and ubuntu freezes or reboots | 05:26 |
| Shujah | Phantom155K, if on windows better check the md5 sum of iso | 05:26 |

| nickrud | Phantom155K did you run the disk check on the menu? | 05:26 |
| dru | shujah: i have my effect on minimal | 05:26 |
| teamtrimble | Ashfire908, I don't know where to look if it's legal. | 05:27 |
| someguy222 | its ok | 05:27 |
| Phantom155K | I ran went to check the cd for defects but it does nothing | 05:27 |
| scho | prolly the media on burn | 05:27 |
| someguy222 | just wish I could get the damned thing fixed | 05:27 |
| Shujah | dru, dude that doesnt sound like a problem of mini/maxi windows? | 05:27 |
| scho | check with the md5 | 05:27 |
| dru | shujah: sometimes i dont even minimize it or maximize it .. i can just switch to a different window and it does | 05:27 |
| glitsj16 | someguy222: i was going to suggest taking another stab at getting pulseaudio working, with the help of http://www.pulseaudio.org/wiki/PerfectSetup & http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?p=4928900 .. flash 10 works just fine on pulseaudio once you get that configured, perhaps it's worth another shot | 05:28 |
| Phantom155K | the cd spins the light on the cd rom starts blinking but nothing | 05:28 |
| nickrud | teamtrimble there's a theory that it's illegal under the dmca, but it's never gone to court | 05:28 |
| Ashfire908 | teamtrimble: i don't really either, though i assume there is some place you can contact... | 05:28 |
| scho | did the iso check good? | 05:28 |
| abhi_ | hi, i am using ubuntu 8.04. i have all the multimedia codecs installed. I am not able to play files downloaded from youtube in totem..help | 05:28 |
| someguy222 | that command I tried earlier with pulseaudio gave me a device is busy error | 05:28 |
| Shujah | dru havent you checked the system logs | 05:28 |
| dru | shujah: where? | 05:28 |
| hkittysmoothie | espeak will not run for me, it says that it can not read the data files and exits with a segmentation fault. Can anyone help? | 05:29 |
| nickrud | Phantom155K so it may be a bad burn. do an md5 sum check, and if the iso passes that, try burning again at a very slow speed. See the following for how to check md5sum | 05:29 |

| teamtrimble | Ashfire908, can you point me to some documentation? | 05:37 |
| Shujah | abhi_, dude an easier way would be to convert em into avi | 05:37 |
| abhi_ | Shujah, : pls tell me | 05:37 |
| glitsj16 | abhi_: i understand, just trying to get a clear view on the context, could you check with the totem youtube plugin to see if that works ? | 05:37 |
| * nickrud doesn't take legal advice from wikipedia | 05:38 | |
| abhi_ | ok | 05:38 |
| Ashfire908 | nickrud: it's easily checkable. | 05:39 |
| abhi_ | glitsj16, : where is that option i can't find. | 05:39 |
| will00 | would there be any problem clipping the black orange and red wires on a main psu connector and splicing in an old atx aux connector? | 05:40 |
| teamtrimble | Ashfire908, thanks! ...and what about mp3 and windows media? | 05:40 |
| scho | the gstreamer plugs fixed flv prob thanks | 05:40 |

| Jack_Sparrow | will00 Not the best choice | 05:41 |
| Ashfire908 | teamtrimble: looking at lame in the resrticted extras, only one that could be non-free, i know the licences/issues with them all, but vlc can do wma and all that stuff... to my knoledge | 05:41 |
| abhi_ | glitsj16, : yes . there is utube browser. and i have checked it. | 05:41 |
| will00 | jack_sparrow, do you have another idea? maybe molex with some resistors? | 05:41 |
| scho | thx nickrud | 05:42 |
| glitsj16 | abhi_: via the sidebar dropdown you can search youtube and play a sample | 05:42 |
| Jack_Sparrow | will00 I wouldnt bother. PS are too easy to come by... and an old atx PS probably wouldnt carry the load anyhow. | 05:42 |

| Jack_Sparrow | nickrud I was typing my response at the same time you were typing yours, I was not correcting you | 05:45 |
| nickrud | Jack_Sparrow a joke, I might very well have not noticed it. Thanks | 05:45 |

| acrousey | hi, it seems that i am having problems booting CD's on my computer. I went into BIOS, CD first option, and experimented even with PuppyLinux to see if it was the CD I was making. It must not be the CD so I am guessing it is the computer. | 05:46 |
| abhi_ | nickrud, : let me check | 05:46 |
| pteeb | seems as if my little tasks at the top right have dissapeared, how do you get them back? > < | 05:47 |
| pteeb | my tray | 05:47 |
| nickrud | abhi_ there's a bunch of them. search for gstreamer in synaptic, make sure you have all the playback ones | 05:47 |
| acrousey | any suggestions? | 05:47 |
| nickrud | pteeb right click panel, select add to panel, and add the notification area | 05:48 |
| pteeb | notification area! thats what it is | 05:48 |
| pteeb | thank you nickrud , my SAVIOR | 05:48 |
| scho | acrousey try a known bootable disk to verifiy | 05:48 |
| nickrud | pteeb yeah, I do not know why they changed the name from systray, everyone calls it that | 05:48 |
| acrousey | scho: known being the Windows disc that it came with? | 05:49 |
| Jack_Sparrow | Fox news pateneted the name/phrase | 05:49 |
| fbianconi | pteeb did you changed window manager (compiz/metacity) ? | 05:49 |
| scho | possibly | 05:49 |
| nickrud | ah | 05:49 |
| acrousey | scho: I think that worked but i did it from within the window, more of a reboot than a boot | 05:49 |
| nickrud | Faux News again | 05:49 |
| scho | I got a pressed Ubuntu cd that had problems once | 05:50 |
| scho | usually it's a media problem or burn if the hardware is newish | 05:50 |
| fr500 | is firefox crashing when saving files for anyone else? | 05:50 |
| acrousey | scho: I was thinking that my burning clients were not letting me do it | 05:51 |
| scho | yeah | 05:51 |
| fr500 | scho: sucks... | 05:51 |
| Jack_Sparrow | acrousey If trying to boot up a Dell or HP, you need toburn the CD's very slowly | 05:51 |
| scho | like in security? | 05:51 |
| openstandards | can anyone download and install oss 4? | 05:51 |
| acrousey | Jack_sparr: what about a Compaq Presario? | 05:51 |
| scho | slow burn is always a good rule | 05:51 |
| acrousey | would that work for toast titanium? | 05:52 |
| Jack_Sparrow | acrousey Not sure, but slow burn will eliminate that as a possibility | 05:52 |
| scho | oh you aren't on windows? | 05:52 |
| Aaron_ | hey i have a question how do i bring up back my wireless connection? | 05:52 |
| acrousey | i'm on my laptop which is a MacBook | 05:52 |
| acrousey | but the computer that I want to tinker with is a Compaq Presario with WinME | 05:53 |
| Aaron_ | hey i have a question how do i bring up back my wireless connection? | 05:53 |
| Rolcol | Is it ok to recompress a gzip file like this?: gzip < harddrive.gz | bzip2 > harddrive.bz2 | 05:53 |
| scho | oh I'm not much on mac but same basics | 05:53 |
| acrousey | yeah | 05:53 |
| BenniBoya | hey, how big is a ubuntu install now? | 05:53 |
| hkittysmoothie | espeak will not run for me, it says that it can not read the data files and exits with a segmentation fault. Can anyone help? | 05:53 |
| acrousey | but I figure it is time to learn to do this kind of stuff, so i want to tinker | 05:53 |
| nickrud | BenniBoya I have about 4.1gb used, not counting /home. Fair amount of extra stuff installed, but not kde or xubuntu | 05:54 |
| glitsj16 | fr500: the only time it did that for me was with an incompatible add-on i made compatible via nightly tester tools .. using any of those ? | 05:54 |
| acrousey | so, slower speeds, like what? | 05:54 |
| scho | make sure it's booting from cd first in bios | 05:54 |
| fr500 | glitsj16: nope | 05:54 |
| acrousey | would 1x bee too slow? | 05:55 |
| Jack_Sparrow | acrousey 4x 8x etc | 05:55 |
| scho | 4x is lowest possible here | 05:55 |
| Rolcol | acrousey, was that "yeah" to my question about recompressing gzip or was it unrelated? | 05:55 |
| Shujah | 8x is what I use mostly | 05:55 |
| acrousey | 2x? | 05:55 |
| Jack_Sparrow | acrousey I have had no issues with 4x | 05:55 |
| glitsj16 | fr500: okay, any specific errors when running firefox from terminal and letting it crash ? | 05:55 |
| scho | the media prolly won't go to 1x | 05:55 |
| fr500 | letme check | 05:55 |
| nickrud | Aaron_ you should be able to left click the network icon in the systray and select a network | 05:55 |
| acrousey | i have the 2x option with toast | 05:55 |
| scho | yeah 2 or 4 or 8x | 05:56 |
| acrousey | alright | 05:56 |
| Jack_Sparrow | acrousey make sure you are burning as image and not as a file | 05:56 |
| Aaron_ | nickrud, can you tell me the application name though? | 05:56 |
| scho | I think it's disc at once | 05:56 |
| scho | or session at once | 05:56 |
| acrousey | i've been burning with an option of ISO 9660 | 05:56 |
| fr500 | glitsj16: just segfaults | 05:57 |
| scho | yes | 05:57 |
| acrousey | does it need to be a CD-RW? | 05:57 |
| scho | not really | 05:57 |
| Jack_Sparrow | acrousey Do you see one file *.iso on the cd or many files folders | 05:57 |
| scho | good q | 05:57 |
| nickrud | Aaron_ NetworkManager handles network connections in ubuntu, but you don't run it directly. nm-applet is the control system, it's the thing I was saying to click. If you don't see it in the systray, hit alt-f2 and run nm-applet --sm-disable to get it back | 05:57 |
| acrousey | Jack_Sparr: I see .iso | 05:57 |
| Jack_Sparrow | acrousey then you are burning it wrong | 05:58 |
| Shujah | lols thats why | 05:58 |
| Jack_Sparrow | !isoburn | 05:58 |
| ubottu | Sorry, I don't know anything about isoburn | 05:58 |
| Jack_Sparrow | !burniso | 05:58 |
| ubottu | To burn an ISO image of a CD in Linux, Mac OS or Windows, read the howto at https://help.ubuntu.com/community/BurningIsoHowto | 05:58 |
| glitsj16 | fr500: not very usefull but thanks for trying .. experiencing the same starting it via firefox -safe-mode ? | 05:59 |
| acrousey | jack_sparr: no, I was burning it right, I know what you mean, i am not burning the one file but all of them from the .iso | 05:59 |
| stiev | Hello, is there an LVM expert here? | 05:59 |
| scho | right usually its like burn image to disc | 06:00 |
| acrousey | whawhat i do is i open the .iso file and in the finder window say "toast it" so i burn within the folder than just the folder | 06:00 |
| abhi_ | anyone here had tried to do module programming in ubuntu? | 06:00 |
| scho | should be an option to burn an image | 06:01 |
| scho | so it will be bootable | 06:02 |
| acrousey | but does it need to be CD-RW? | 06:02 |
| Shujah | no | 06:02 |
| scho | naw | 06:02 |
| scho | if you are practicing | 06:03 |
| acrousey | good, you guys have no idea how many CD-R's i've gone through today | 06:03 |
| scho | is that a newer pc? | 06:03 |
| acrousey | like 4 or 5 | 06:03 |

| legend2440 | hkittysmoothie: you have espeak-data installed? | 06:09 |
| acrousey | he's gone | 06:10 |
| hkittysmoothie | legend2440: yup | 06:10 |
| sonicreindeer | acrousey, try out the UltraISO utility for Windows. Never burned a frisbee using the utility. Itś simple, direct, and to the point with one right-click of the mouse. There should be a Mac port available should you need it. Google " UltraISO " to queue the site. Hopefully, this will assist your efforts to burn a fast and accurate Hardy installation ISO. | 06:10 |
| glitsj16 | Bladezor: you can do that by providing a grub boot splash image, this has more info --> https://help.ubuntu.com/community/GrubHowto (don't know the name of the specific image used in your example though, there's a "grub-splashimages" package you can install, might be in there) | 06:11 |
| acrousey | sonicreind: thanks! | 06:11 |
| legend2440 | hkittysmoothie: so when you type espeak hell in terminal you get error? | 06:11 |
| Bladezor | glitsj16, alright thanks :) | 06:11 |

| snowpunk98 | Can someone help me figure out why a 2nd hard drive I just added to my system isnt showing up, I have mounted and its no where to be fuond | 06:15 |
| amenado | snowpunk98-> what was your command to mount such drive? | 06:15 |
| Mrevox11 | Hello everyone. I was just wondering what other visualizations someone might reccomend for rhythmbox. the Goon Viz just gets tiring. | 06:16 |
| fbianconi | snowpunk mounted like in connected right? | 06:16 |
| snowpunk98 | Plugged drive in, created /mnt/Backup edited fstab, did mount -a | 06:16 |
| legend2440 | hkittysmoothie: i don't have espeak-data file in my home folder. its in usr/share/espeak-data do you have espeak-data folder in your home directory? | 06:16 |
| amenado | snowpunk98-> try to mount manually | 06:16 |
| snowpunk98 | /dev/sdb1 /mnt/Backup ext3 defaults 0 0 | 06:16 |
| snowpunk98 | is what I put in fstab | 06:16 |
| snowpunk98 | amenado, how do I do that | 06:17 |
| amenado | snowpunk98-> man man; man mount please | 06:17 |
| hkittysmoothie | legend2440: I have an espeak-data folder in my home directory, but there's nothing in it. | 06:17 |
| Mrevox11 | Anyone? | 06:17 |
| legend2440 | hkittysmoothie: maybe try renaming that folder and then try and if that doesn't work try reinstall espeak-data | 06:19 |
| snowpunk98 | amenado, thats honestly not very helpful | 06:19 |
| snowpunk98 | I did mount -a and man doesnt say anything about manually mounting | 06:19 |
| hkittysmoothie | legend2440: To what should I rename it? | 06:19 |
| fbianconi | snowpunk98 it's sudo mount -a, or gksudo, you need adminstrative privileges | 06:19 |
| legend2440 | hkittysmoothie: espeak-data-bak | 06:19 |
| snowpunk98 | fbianconi, I already did that and the command runs fine but it doesnt show up | 06:20 |
| fbianconi | snowpunk98 what "mount" says | 06:20 |
| hkittysmoothie | legend2440: Yay, thank you, it works now. | 06:21 |

| ubottu | To replicate your packages selection on another machine (or restore it if re-installing), you can type « dpkg --get-selections > ~/my-packages », move the file "my-packages" to the other machine, and there type « sudo dpkg --set-selections < my-packages && sudo apt-get dselect-upgrade » - See also !automate | 06:21 |

| fbianconi | do you have permissions to read there? | 06:22 |
| glitsj16 | snowpunk98: amenado might be helping after all, since the man for mount states that "defaults" implies nouser, so a regular non-root user wouldn't be able to mount it .. | 06:22 |
| legend2440 | hkittysmoothie: lol glad it worked | 06:22 |
| fbianconi | snowpunk98 did you chmod +rx on that dir? | 06:23 |
| snowpunk98 | sudo chmod -R 755 /mnt/Backup | 06:24 |

| d343k | i dont think u can | 06:37 |
| AgentHeX | someone i know is having problems playing DVD discs from totem and VLC. the device appears to be mounted to /media/cdrom0, but playback fails. does anyone have any diagnostics i can try to trace the problem? | 06:37 |
| Bidget | yeah I think windows will only recognize ntfs partitions so you would need that at least | 06:38 |
| acrousey | hey, i don't think that i downloaded the CD correctly because when I MD5 it through my DiskUtility on my Mac I get CRC32 $741DEDF6 | 06:38 |
| d343k | bob u can read files from linux to windows but i dont thin it works the other way around | 06:38 |
| AgentHeX | Bidget: it recognizes FAT32 as well (vfat) | 06:38 |
| acrousey | should i just try downloading again? | 06:38 |
| Bidget | ah right yeah | 06:38 |
| Bidget | forgot about that one | 06:39 |
| amenado | bob3213243-> let me give you some hints, google for putty and openssh on ubuntu | 06:39 |
| === arthurfurlan_ is now known as arthurfurlan | ||

| kyleprager | i think noapic is messing with the SATA driver | 06:44 |
| Eyes`Only | bob321324: can you ssh to your ubuntu box from your ubuntu box? | 06:44 |
| stiev | is there someone who could help me with LVM problems here? | 06:44 |
| bob3213243 | amenado Yes I'm not coming to this without killing myself over it all day. the big issue is that the PuTTy / VNC fix is too complicated for the people I am trying to set this up for. Hence I am looking for a clean or simple way to access ubuntu from windows over the WAN. | 06:45 |

| AgentHeX | bob321324313243: are the clients ubuntu? | 06:46 |
| Eyes`Only | bsd: sooo... you want us to tell you how to install a better heatsink? | 06:46 |
| stiev | I've used that, but I prefer filezilla or filezilla portable. they just need to put the host as "sftp://ipaddress-or-dns" | 06:47 |
| AgentHeX | heh... totally butchered your name | 06:47 |
| Bidget | bsd, it sounds like a hardware problem not a problem with ubuntu... | 06:47 |
| AgentHeX | bob3213243: are the clients ubuntu or windows? | 06:47 |
| bsd | bidget I think so | 06:47 |
| bsd | bsd my first hard disk is damaged because of this problem | 06:47 |
| Bidget | bsd, if your computer is overheating then you either need to clean it out and make sure all the fans are working or possibly install a new heatsink | 06:48 |
| Pithecanthropus | wols: Just dropped in to say thank you for your help last night. Today I managed to fix the audio problems, and have been having a blast with Ubuntu Studio and Ubuntu generic kernels ever since. This is a great OS, and I'm really happy so far. | 06:48 |
| kyleprager | can someone recomend a boot option i can switch on that will make my ubuntu install stop freezing? | 06:48 |
| kyleprager | noapic and nolapic haven't worked | 06:48 |
| Bidget | kyleprager, have you tried the ubuntu alternate install cd? That's the one I had to use | 06:48 |
| amenado | bob3213243-> you yourself need to understand how to setup the server services on your ubuntu so users from other host can login, start with ssh..then once you get that working, you have to then use an ssh client (putty) to login | 06:48 |
| bob3213243 | agenthex windows is the one trying to access the ubuntu box. | 06:48 |
| pw- | i've got a bit of a problem here, ubuntu seems to have installed the proper restricted drivers for my network card, yet i've got no connection | 06:49 |
| kyleprager | Bidget: no, i havent tried that. what is it? | 06:49 |
| AgentHeX | bob3213243: if security isn't an issue, you can use FTP | 06:49 |
| moo_cow | how can i check which 32 bit libs are needed for a program that is not a dynamic executable? | 06:49 |
| bsd | bidget Everthing is working ok my heatsink is clean | 06:49 |
| Bidget | kyleprager, hold on I will see if I can find a link for you. When I first installed I had to use the alternate install because my video card wasnt supported by the other one | 06:49 |
| Bidget | bsd, then your computer probably isnt overheating | 06:49 |
| bob3213243 | amendo ssh and samba are setup I can login without issue via putty but it is too complicated dude. | 06:49 |
| AgentHeX | bob3213243: if security is an issue, a VPN with samba on the ubuntu box might be more appropriate. | 06:49 |
| === Jetjie0932 is now known as Sad_ | ||

| hkittysmoothie | I'm not getting any sound playback with espeakedit, sound playback works fine with anything else. Any help? | 06:51 |
| Bidget | kyleprager, if you just go to the download page on www.ubuntu.com and check the box that says you want the alternate cd | 06:51 |
| AgentHeX | bob3213243: "The SshClient program from www.ssh.com has a graphical file management | 06:51 |
| AgentHeX | client (a front-end to sftp, I think). It's free for personal use. " | 06:51 |
| Bidget | kyleprager, you can try that one, if it still isn't working then you'll have to ask soemone else for help Im not an expert I just thought maybe you could give that a try | 06:51 |

| bob3213243 | agenthex yeah the ubuntu box is all setup and I use it extensively via ssh no problem. the issue is just the people I am trying to do this want it very very simple. | 06:52 |
| Bidget | kyleprager, well the alternate cd is just a different installer. My install kept crashing so I tried the alternate install cd and it worked fine | 06:52 |
| AgentHeX | bob3213243: http://hartvig.de/2008/mounting-your-ssh-shares-in-microsoft-windows/ | 06:53 |
| bsd | I think the problem comes from factory beacuse since I got the computer I've been seeing color bars lately once in a while but I haven't noticed it was getting really hot | 06:53 |
| Bidget | bsd, sounds like you'll have to call up acer and talk to them about it then. This is a forum for ubuntu support... | 06:53 |
| d343k | anyone running a p5n32 se sli deluxe? | 06:53 |
| bob3213243 | agenthex thanks alot man. I was getting very frustrated. lol | 06:53 |
| bsd | Bidget i will | 06:53 |
| kyleprager | Bidget: i havent yet been able to undertand why its crashing so i wouldnt know what options to look into. Are there any logs you would recommend checking to see what the problem is? I've had it freeze the same using the nvidia driver and the open source nv driver. and I've tried starting with noapic and nolapic (and all combinations thereof). | 06:53 |

| raddy | and innovative | 07:39 |
| Rat409 | kcman: just copy paste the commands from the tutorial | 07:39 |
| raddy | I wish it to be graduted for inclusion | 07:39 |
| tanath | bsd, what could cause it to get permission denied? | 07:39 |
| kcman | rat409 ok but the one step run in the dir how do i get to that dir i am not quite sure | 07:39 |
| raddy | It would even paint Gnome a Hi-Fi look | 07:40 |
| R0b0t1 | I have a problem with my ubuntu keyboard preferences. I cannot type into any window except for the login window, and trying to change the keyboard layout does not work. Trying to restore the defaults doesn't work. Is there a way I can fix this? | 07:40 |
| massmc | hi, is there a way to flush ram cache? | 07:40 |
| GunSlinger`x | can any1 help me to install n configure file in tar.gz format? | 07:40 |
| Rat409 | kcman: you can unpack it anywhere in your home folder,doesn't matter just use appropriate path to the windows driver for the ndiswrapper -i command | 07:40 |
| jasonago | DigitalNinja: I think there are php backports??? | 07:41 |
| tanath | DigitalNinja, you could temporarily change your repo list to hardy, install/upgrade it (with necessary dependencies), and change back | 07:41 |
| AgentHeX | GunSlinger`x: tar zxvf <filename> ; ./configure | 07:41 |
| kcman | massmc i know restarting the machine will clear all cashe that is old school trick though | 07:41 |
| AgentHeX | GunSlinger`x: something like that | 07:41 |
| bsd | tanath: I don't know | 07:41 |
| bsd | maybe group permission | 07:41 |
| kcman | rat409 can you give me example if the unzipped folder is on my desktop? | 07:41 |
| R0b0t1 | kcman: If you want to totally clear the ram, thats pretty useless, as it will make the machine do _nothing) | 07:41 |
| DigitalNinja | jasonago: Thanks! | 07:41 |
| R0b0t1 | _* | 07:41 |
| Rat409 | raddy: i'd go to ubuntu package search check backports | 07:41 |
| DigitalNinja | tanath: That sounds scary | 07:41 |
| massmc | kcman, good idea lol. I should have thought about that ;) | 07:42 |
| tanath | DigitalNinja, 'tis odd... | 07:42 |
| DigitalNinja | tanath: I don't want to break things by doing an upgrade | 07:42 |
| kcman | robot1 like i said that is really old school trick | 07:42 |
| R0b0t1 | I have a problem with my ubuntu keyboard preferences. I cannot type into any window except for the login window, and trying to change the keyboard layout does not work. Trying to restore the defaults doesn't work. Is there a way I can fix this? (I'm on a differen't OS on the same computer, my keyboard is one of the new Mac Aluminum ones) | 07:42 |
| GunSlinger`x | thats it AgentHeX ? no other package needed? | 07:42 |
| bsd | tanath: Have you looked for support at Postfix's web site? | 07:42 |
| tanath | DigitalNinja, well, it was said there's no show-stopper bugs, so i thought i'd try it | 07:42 |
| tanath | bsd, nope | 07:42 |
| R0b0t1 | kcman: flushing the ram will remove all of the instructions, as in, the computer will not do anything. Thus, you will need to restart. | 07:42 |
| Rat409 | kcman: cd /home/you/Desktop/folder then sudo ndiswrapper -i /home/you/Desktop/folder/filename.inf | 07:43 |
| AgentHeX | GunSlinger`x: i have no idea what tar.gz file you're working with. usually gzipped tarballs containing source code will have to be unzipped, configured, compiled, and installed. | 07:43 |
| bsd | tanath: you should | 07:43 |
| tanath | i just hope i'm not screwed on reboot | 07:43 |
| wbmj | tanath have you tried to purge postfix? | 07:43 |
| R0b0t1 | I have a problem with my ubuntu keyboard preferences. I cannot type into any window except for the login window, and trying to change the keyboard layout does not work. Trying to restore the defaults doesn't work. Is there a way I can fix this? (I'm on a differen't OS on the same computer, my keyboard is one of the new Mac Aluminum ones) -.- | 07:44 |
| kcman | rat409 just so as i am clear there is no simple click files for dummies like me??? | 07:44 |
| tanath | wbmj, well, that made me have to remove lsb & rkhunter... :-/ | 07:44 |
| Rat409 | kcman theres gtk-ndiswrapper in repos | 07:44 |
| AgentHeX | you run "tar zxvf <filename>.tar.gz" to untar the file (the x switch is to extract an archive), you run ./configure if you're in the same folder on the command line that you just extracted and the configure file is there. you run "make" to compile the package after the configure script has been run. then you run "make install" (typically as root with "sudo make install") to install the package to its necessary directories. this is NOT a uni | 07:45 |
| GunSlinger`x | thanks AgentHeX | 07:45 |
| wbmj | tanath: but it did remove postfix? | 07:45 |
| tanath | wbmj, yes | 07:45 |
| tanath | wbmj, now removing the next in line :P | 07:45 |
| DigitalNinja | tanath: I would upgrade but the email software I'm using requires Dapper | 07:45 |
| wbmj | tanath: you should be able reinstall now | 07:45 |
| tanath | wbmj, i appear to be fully upgraded now.... but with 2 packages held back for some reason | 07:46 |
| tanath | linux-doc openbox | 07:46 |
| Rat409 | tanath: thats normal sometimes | 07:46 |
| Rat409 | just ignore it | 07:46 |
| wbmj | tanath: sound like you're out of the woods | 07:47 |
| Jason2gs | Hai R0b0t1 | 07:47 |
| tanath | Rat409, nah, just needed to poke aptitude. it's going now | 07:47 |
| Jason2gs | I lub you enough to answer :) | 07:47 |
| tanath | wbmj, indeed. thx | 07:47 |
| R0b0t1 | I have a problem with my ubuntu keyboard preferences. I cannot type into any window except for the login window, and trying to change the keyboard layout does not work. Trying to restore the defaults doesn't work. Is there a way I can fix this? (I'm on a differen't OS on the same computer, my keyboard is one of the new Mac Aluminum ones) | 07:47 |
| tanath | wbmj, i figured postfix was more necessary, so didn't try that | 07:47 |
| wbmj | tanath: no prob | 07:47 |
| absbs | what is the difference between kubuntu and kubuntu remix? | 07:48 |
| R0b0t1 | Fine... I'll just post it on the forums -.- | 07:48 |
| hkittysmoothie | I'm not getting any sound playback with espeakedit, sound playback works fine with anything else. Any help? | 07:48 |

| windowsXP | guys whats up | 07:49 |
| kcman | rat409 the gtk does not do anything | 07:50 |
| windowsXP | ubuntu is a direct rip of windows. | 07:51 |
| windowsXP | sorry to burst your guys' bubble | 07:51 |
| AgentHeX | windowsXP: you got enemies here. this chat room ain't big enough for all of us | 07:51 |
| windowsXP | whatever | 07:51 |
| windowsXP | if you wanna disagree then fine | 07:51 |
| windowsXP | but dont call me a troll because of it | 07:51 |
| kcman | thanks windows for stoping bye | 07:51 |
| AgentHeX | you are a troll ;) | 07:51 |
| Assurbanipal | good day... | 07:51 |
| windowsXP | why do you think you guys are becoming so popular? | 07:52 |
| windowsXP | whats different about ubuntu? | 07:52 |
| windowsXP | and how is that similar to windows? | 07:52 |
| kcman | if your such a fan of windowsxp why are you not updating or something | 07:52 |
| AgentHeX | it doesn't get infected with viruses and malware? | 07:52 |
| Assurbanipal | can someone help me through? i tried to install oxygen openoffice, but things didnt go well | 07:52 |
| windowsXP | haha | 07:52 |
| windowsXP | i force reboots on updates, dont worry about it | 07:52 |
| AgentHeX | when windows catches up to linux, let us know. | 07:52 |
| windowsXP | oh please | 07:52 |
| windowsXP | the notion that linux gets no viruses | 07:52 |
| kcman | little hard to write viruses for something that is your cookie cutter os | 07:53 |
| AgentHeX | i didn't say it never gets them, but it's far less succeptible given restricted user priviliges | 07:53 |
| windowsXP | ok so you had the chance to build an os with security in mind | 07:53 |
| windowsXP | but you're still ripping windows | 07:53 |
| AgentHeX | anyway, when windows supports ext3 among a host of other filesystems, let me know | 07:53 |
| windowsXP | the same OS you talk trash about | 07:53 |
| windowsXP | you're piggy-backing off its popularity | 07:53 |
| windowsXP | so just accept that | 07:53 |
| AgentHeX | uh... | 07:53 |
| kcman | is there a mute button here | 07:53 |
| AgentHeX | i wish | 07:53 |
| windowsXP | laf no there's not | 07:53 |
| windowsXP | im sorry that you're hearing the "other side" | 07:54 |
| windowsXP | i know how painful it is | 07:54 |
| AgentHeX | it's like listening to a banshee on crack | 07:54 |
| windowsXP | when the same OS you're stealing and driving SUN microsystems into bankruptcy | 07:54 |
| windowsXP | right | 07:54 |
| windowsXP | it's that bad | 07:54 |
| kcman | oh there is pain but not on my part i am fine you talk all your trash you want your only wasting your time | 07:54 |
| AgentHeX | kcman: but he's wasting MY time, too :-D | 07:54 |
| windowsXP | laf | 07:54 |
| HappyHater | how are they stealing from windows? | 07:54 |
| windowsXP | wasting time because someone disagrees | 07:54 |
| windowsXP | typical inux user | 07:54 |
| kcman | agenthex sorry i know | 07:55 |
| windowsXP | give it a few more versions, you'll get the picture if you havnen't by now | 07:55 |
| kcman | typical windows cant spell | 07:55 |
| windowsXP | laf | 07:55 |
| Assurbanipal | can someone help me through? i tried to install oxygen openoffice, but things didnt go well | 07:55 |
| kcman | thought you had spell checker | 07:55 |
| R0b0t1 | I have a problem with my ubuntu keyboard preferences. I cannot type into any window except for the login window, and trying to change the keyboard layout does not work. Trying to restore the defaults doesn't work. Is there a way I can fix this? (I'm on a differen't OS on the same computer, my keyboard is one of the new Mac Aluminum ones) | 07:55 |
| AgentHeX | no, wasting my time because i'm trying to argue with an ass | 07:55 |
| windowsXP | robot1: switch to windows xp | 07:55 |
| windowsXP | it fixes your problems | 07:55 |

| Assurbanipal | can someone help me through? i tried to install oxygen openoffice, but things didnt go well | 08:02 |
| AgentHeX | illdecree: you'll probably want to edit your xorg.conf file | 08:02 |
| error404notfound | how can I change resolution of the Terminals located at Ctrl+alt+F1 , F2 etc? | 08:02 |
| InvalidCo | and I have installed libdvdcss and compiled mplayer from svn source | 08:02 |
| illdecree | agenthex: i have tried numerour times to edit that file, but it keeps telling me that i do not have permission | 08:02 |
| brianlightfoot | dr_martins the drivers are from Ubuntu gusty restricted repos | 08:03 |
| GunSlinger`x | then use gedit... | 08:03 |
| SitUbuntuSit | illdecree, gksu gedit filename | 08:03 |
| lucas__ | hello... i dont know why firefox closes everytime i watch youtube........... | 08:03 |
| kcman | okay i have to ask a question about ndiswrapper | 08:03 |
| dr_martins | and what videocard you have? | 08:03 |
| Sir_Fawnpug | InvalidCo, this may sound rediculously obvious, but do you have a DVD in your DVD drive? | 08:03 |
| error404notfound | anyone? | 08:03 |
| InvalidCo | Sir_Fawnpug: yes | 08:04 |
| AgentHeX | illdecree: what's your editor? you'll prolly have to edit with sudo on the command line | 08:04 |
| brianlightfoot | Dr_martins the card is a nvidia 6600 | 08:04 |
| InvalidCo | hmm | 08:04 |
| InvalidCo | I lifted my laptop to a different angle while executed mount /dev/dvd /mnt/dvd | 08:04 |
| SitUbuntuSit | AgentHeX, if he is using an editor outside of command line, use gksu, not sudo | 08:04 |
| InvalidCo | and now the dvd drive is making a weird noise :O | 08:04 |
| kcman | rat409 you still here | 08:05 |
| Sir_Fawnpug | InvalidCo, ahh, just checking. Well, what do you get when you ls -l /dev | grep "dvd" | 08:05 |
| brianlightfoot | and it currently displays opengl games at much higher rez then 800x600 | 08:05 |
| kate_mins | Hello , does tar.gz have size limit ? | 08:05 |
| SitUbuntuSit | AgentHeX, so gksu gedit filename would work. NEVER use sudo and open any program outside of terminal. | 08:05 |
| illdecree | im just using gedit | 08:05 |
| carib909 | how to do a root copy by drag and drop? | 08:05 |
| SitUbuntuSit | gksu gedit filename illdecree from command line or alt-f2 | 08:05 |
| Sir_Fawnpug | kate_mins, I think the tar format has a size limit. I'll have to look it up for you. | 08:05 |
| AgentHeX | what's the risk of using "sudo gedit /filename"? | 08:05 |
| GunSlinger`x | can sum1 help me concerning asterisk?? | 08:05 |

| kcman | is anyone here that can help a linux dummie like me? | 08:06 |
| AgentHeX | !gksu | 08:06 |
| ubottu | If you need to run graphical applications as root, use « gksudo », as it will set up the environment more appropriately. Never just use "sudo"! (See http://psychocats.net/ubuntu/graphicalsudo to know why) | 08:06 |
| AgentHeX | ok | 08:06 |
| brianlightfoot | but when I try fullscreen mode at 800x600 I get a unsuported mode message my samsung lcd | 08:06 |
| InvalidCo | Sir_Fawnpug: I mean symlinks named dvd and dvdrw | 08:06 |
| SitUbuntuSit | AgentHeX, it can do odd things to permission... you can use gksudo or gksu | 08:06 |
| Sir_Fawnpug | InvalidCo, do you have read permission on /dev/dvd? | 08:06 |
| illdecree | im having a major prob here.... i spose NOW i can edit xorg.conf... but im not sure what values to put there... i cannot find them anywhere | 08:06 |

| SitUbuntuSit | carib909, gksu nautilus if you must i guess | 08:08 |
| AgentHeX | SitUbuntuSit: i typically use vi on the command line, so running apps with sudo is what i do. i tend not to launch graphical apps from the terminal. | 08:08 |
| SitUbuntuSit | AgentHeX, me too... much cleaner i think | 08:08 |
| dr_martins | brianlightfoot, well! If it won't to run - try to check it! =) | 08:09 |

| Sir_Fawnpug | kate_mins, according to the FSF's manual for tar, there aren't any intrinsic limitations to the format concerning file size. However, you still may have to deal with filesystem limitations. | 08:11 |

| kcman | i need some help if anyone can spear some time | 08:12 |
| brianlightfoot | really the thing that I don't get is that if I set my desktop rez at 800x600 it displays fine but fullscreen games I get that invalid mode message if I display higher rez the games work but ETQW at the much higher rez is just to slow on my pc | 08:12 |
| greyspacebt3 | Does Anyone have a link that might help me get my ALFA AWUS036H usb antenna able to surf the web, or in managed mode. Many thanks as I have been searching for weeks. | 08:12 |
| kate_mins | Sir_Fawnpug: what is the Ubuntu filesystem limitations for file size ? | 08:12 |
| Sir_Fawnpug | kate_mins, well, it depends on which filesystem you've chosen. If you're using ext3, I think a single file can be 36GB, but I might be mistaken about that | 08:13 |
| brianlightfoot | but I'll try checking the nvidia drivers in the restricted drivers manager I think I updated my nvidia drivers manually awhile back | 08:14 |
| Flannel | kate_mins: It depends on how the filesystem was set up, it can be anywhere from 16G to 2T | 08:14 |
| bullgard4 | '~$ sudo ethtool eth0' reports: "Link detected: yes." A link between which two points is meant here? | 08:14 |
| kcman | i need some help can anyone help me | 08:14 |
| xnv | kcman: You have to specify your problem first. | 08:15 |
| Flannel | !anyone | kcman | 08:15 |
| ubottu | kcman: A large amount of the first questions asked in this channel start with "Does anyone/anybody..." Why not ask your next question (the real one) and find out? | 08:15 |
| kate_mins | Flannel: what is the filesystem default file size ? (ubuntu 8.04) | 08:15 |
| leeash | I have a really silly question about open office, if someone has a moment. | 08:15 |

| greyspacebt3 | Please, | 08:16 |
| greyspacebt3 | help me get my ALFA AWUS036H usb antenna able to surf the web, or in managed mode. Many thanks as I have been searching for weeks. | 08:16 |
| kcman | sorry i just got it guys give me a second to rewrite it | 08:16 |
| leeash | Well, I don't want to draw out a long question if no one is interested in giving it a shot. | 08:16 |
| leeash | :) | 08:16 |
| xnv | leeash: OK, then, yes, I know the answer to your question. Now ask it. :-) | 08:16 |
| greyspacebt3 | like my long and clear question for example | 08:16 |
| leeash | Basically I'm wondering why using the same fonts I'm getting different page lengths in OO than in Word (which I have to use for school related reasons). | 08:17 |
| leeash | It seems that the fonts are appearing larger in Word. | 08:17 |
| Flannel | kate_mins: How big is your partition? | 08:17 |
| leeash | So when I export my .odt to .doc and then open that in Word everything gets pushed down a few pages. | 08:17 |
| wols_ | cause neither word nor OOo are typesetting programs | 08:17 |
| wols_ | even when they pretend otherwise | 08:17 |
| leeash | I realize that. | 08:17 |
| leeash | I use LaTeX for anything important. | 08:18 |
| kate_mins | Flannel: 500GB | 08:18 |
| Sir_Fawnpug | kate_mins, did you let ubuntu repartition your harddrive, or did you do it manually? | 08:18 |
| leeash | I just thought there might be something about the way the two programs render the fonts that I could tweak. | 08:18 |
| leeash | Other than simply changing the font size. | 08:18 |
| xnv | leeash: You might also try asking in #openoffice.org | 08:18 |
| Flannel | kate_mins: Actually, pastebin the output of "sudo fdisk -l" (thats an L) | 08:19 |
| leeash | Excellent idea. | 08:19 |
| b0rris | is there a program equivalent to speedfan for windows? | 08:19 |
| yowshi | whats a good altetrnative to cpu-z? | 08:19 |
| greyspacebt3 | How do I install the USB ALFA antenna in Ubuntu | 08:19 |
| kcman | i am trying to install drivers for a wireless adapter i found a page that is a good how to but i am stuck with how to get the inf and what not to install so i can use my wireless card | 08:20 |
| _jdd_ | b0rris: i think fancontrol is about equivalent | 08:20 |
| kate_mins | Flannel: http://pastebin.com/m1defd85d | 08:20 |
| Flannel | kate_mins: Or, if you know which device it is (/dev/sdXY) you can just give the output of this: sudo /sbin/dumpe2fs /dev/sdXY | grep "Block size" | 08:21 |
| GunSlinger`x | how to make bluetooth working in ubuntu? | 08:21 |
| Sir_Fawnpug | kate_mins, actually I just looked up the maximum filesize value on an ext3 partition, and it looks like the maximum size of a file can be 2TB. | 08:21 |
| b0rris | cheers, i modded my psu fans and thier loud as without control | 08:21 |
| leeash | Also. Does anyone here run Ubuntu on a Macbook? | 08:21 |
| _jdd_ | b0rris: also, I think it's in the package lm-sensors | 08:21 |
| Flannel | kate_mins: what is the output of: sudo /sbin/dumpe2fs /dev/sda1 | grep "Block size" | 08:21 |
| bluefoxx | has anyone else encountered problems booting 8.04 with a floppy device in the system? for me if theres a floppy in a system it gets stuck and goes to "busybox intramfs" and then nothing | 08:22 |
| leeash | My battery indicator in Ubuntu decided to stop working and now always shows 0% battery life, even after a full charge. | 08:22 |
| uur | hello | 08:22 |
| b0rris | yup i found a howto thread about it, thanks alot | 08:22 |
| greyspacebt3 | leeash,, did you put your battery in backward...? | 08:22 |
| greyspacebt3 | kidding | 08:22 |
| leeash | The hardware indicator still works fine. | 08:22 |
| Sir_Fawnpug | kate_mins, so theoretically you could put everything on your harddrive into a tar archive | 08:23 |
| uur | how can i install objective c compiler on ubuntu? | 08:23 |
| Flannel | kate_mins: don't need to pastebin, it should only be one line (and we really just need the number) | 08:23 |
| Sir_Fawnpug | uur, look for gcc in synaptic | 08:23 |
| uur | i installed gcc but it does not compile objective c programs | 08:23 |
| Sir_Fawnpug | uur, I'm not exactly sure what the exact package name is (I haven't messed with objective C any), but I believe there is GCC's objective C compiler in apt | 08:23 |
| Sir_Fawnpug | uur, well gcc itself is just the C compiler | 08:24 |
| kate_mins | Flannel: Block size: 4096 | 08:24 |
| uur | by the way, i don't have synaptic,ii don't have x | 08:24 |
| Flannel | kate_mins: Alright, your max file size is 2TB | 08:24 |
| kate_mins | Flannel: thanks for your help :) can i ask you another question ? | 08:24 |
| Flannel | kate_mins: Yep | 08:25 |

| greyspacebt3 | does anyone have a ALFA | 08:26 |
| Sir_Fawnpug | uur, gobjc, according to http://packages.ubuntu.com/hardy/gobjc, should be the name of the package | 08:26 |
| chriswr | is there any good proxy programs for ubuntu? | 08:27 |
| Bubulle | !packaging | Decepticon | 08:27 |
| ubottu | Decepticon: The packaging guide is at http://wiki.ubuntu.com/PackagingGuide - See https://wiki.ubuntu.com/UbuntuDevelopment/NewPackages for information on getting a package integrated into Ubuntu - Other developer resources are at https://wiki.ubuntu.com/UbuntuDevelopment - See also !backports | 08:27 |
| jpds | !proxy | chriswr | 08:27 |
| ubottu | chriswr: Many Ubuntu IRC channels prohibit access from !proxies such as !TOR and web (Java, etc) gateways due to a high level of abuse. You can however obtain a hostmask cloak: see http://freenode.net/faq.shtml#cloaks. If you're using mibbit, please try joining #ubuntu again. Mibbit takes a long time to connect, so you may have missed a message to do this. | 08:27 |
| Flannel | kate_mins: Well, most people either use gzip or bzip2, (.gz and .bz2) But the compression amount depends on what sort of data youre compressing as much as what compression method you're using. Either would be a fine choice | 08:27 |
| b0rris | 7-zip is good for compression | 08:27 |
| jpds | chriswr: Err, maybe tinyproxy and squid? | 08:27 |
| Aku | abeyy | 08:27 |
| chriswr | jpds: ok , thnx ill check them out | 08:28 |

| kate_mins | Flannel: i never used .gz tool , can you give me an example how i can compress folder with her sub-folders ? | 08:28 |

| chriswr | is anyone familiar with medusa? | 08:29 |
| Bubulle | kate_mins, you can do it using gnome, right-click on a folder and select create an archive. | 08:29 |
| Flannel | kate_mins: Theres a graphical tool which will make it easy. You actually do it in two steps. gz only compresses a single file, so first you have to make all the files into a single file (called a tar). Its a two step process (except you don't see the steps individually usually). This is why you sometimes see .tar.gz (which is sometimes shortened to .tgz) | 08:30 |
| Flannel | mahesh: What do you want to do with the php? a web server? | 08:30 |

| BLep | hey | 08:34 |
| BLep | i have a question | 08:34 |
| BLep | what's the unstable realease of ubuntu called in debian is called sid | 08:34 |
| BLep | on debian what is it called? | 08:34 |
| BLep | sorry in ubuntu what it is called | 08:34 |
| Flannel | BLep: What? sid is debian | 08:34 |
| BLep | i meant ubuntu =) | 08:35 |
| Flannel | BLep: Ubuntu doesn't have an "unstable" release like debian does. | 08:35 |
| greyspacebt3 | gaelfx,, I am not going anywhere,,, thanks | 08:35 |
| BLep | does it have testing Flannel | 08:35 |
| BLep | ? | 08:35 |
| Flannel | BLep: Right now we have the development version (its alpha software currently) of the next release. Its not really fit for use. | 08:35 |
| BLep | does hardy have the latest packages version installed? | 08:35 |
| greyspacebt3 | gaelfx, If you want results , I would be glad to paste what I have done so far. | 08:35 |
| Flannel | BLep: What? | 08:36 |
| gaelfx | greyspacebt3: try this: http://linux-wless.passys.nl/query_part.php?brandname=Alfa | 08:36 |
| Flannel | BLep: Hardy has the latest as of Hardy's version freeze (more or less) | 08:36 |
| BLep | im asking does hardy has the latest versions of packages? | 08:36 |
| mrtimdog | Gnome panel drawers... Do they usually pause for a second or two after the first icon when sliding open? | 08:36 |
| Sir_Fawnpug | BLep, not all of the packages in Hardy are bleeding edge, but in most cases their current enough | 08:36 |
| gaelfx | not sure which card is yours, but it should be listed there, if it'll work | 08:36 |
| jeeves__ | does anyone know what would cause a lengthy longin time with ProFTPd? | 08:37 |
| BLep | Sir_Fawnpug: on which version of ubuntu i can get the latest. packages? | 08:37 |
| BLep | ? | 08:37 |
| BLep | so i can put it in my sources.list | 08:37 |
| Flannel | BLep: assuming you want a stable system, Hardy has the latest you'll find. | 08:37 |
| kcman | i have to download with this command "sudo apt-get install ndiswrapper-utils" but utils is not there only common is there so when i go to install using the command sudo ndiswrapper -m i can not use it because i have commons not utils anyone help me | 08:37 |
| BLep | Flannel: nope i do not want a stable pc =) | 08:38 |
| BLep | that's why im asking | 08:38 |
| Flannel | kcman: I believe its ndiswrapper-utils-1.9 | 08:38 |
| Sir_Fawnpug | BLep, to be honest, I'm not sure. Ubuntu, like most other distros, usually does extensive testing on packages to make sure they are stable. | 08:38 |
| jeeves__ | Flannel, hey man, how's it going? | 08:38 |
| gaelfx | greyspacebt3: try this: what have you tried so far? | 08:38 |
| BLep | so what can i do | 08:38 |
| Flannel | BLep: Intrepid is the next version. Intrepid support/questions are handled in #ubuntu+1, and the topic there will tell you how to upgrade to it. | 08:38 |
| chriswr | is anyone familiar with medusa? if so , can anyone help me with recovering a password with it , or point out a tutorial? | 08:38 |
| Flannel | Howdy jeeves__ | 08:38 |
| greyspacebt3 | gaelfx... I have done this so far. http://pastebin.com/m25768104 It is there, but it doesn't work. I'll check out your link now. thanks | 08:39 |
| jeeves__ | Flannel, anything I can help with in here? | 08:39 |
| gaelfx | can someone help me make recognize my DVD-burner? | 08:39 |
| Sir_Fawnpug | BLep, well it depends on the package developer. Most of them have CVS or subversion, you could compile from source in those cases. | 08:39 |
| Flannel | jeeves__: Help with whatever you feel comfortable helping with. | 08:39 |
| Sir_Fawnpug | Some of them distribute .debs of their own | 08:39 |
| BLep | so ubuntu does not have something like debian sid. sarge woody etc? | 08:40 |
| mohd | hi | 08:41 |
| Sir_Fawnpug | BLep, I'm mostly a gentoo user so I'm not sure. Flannel seems to indicate that it doesn't. | 08:41 |
| Flannel | BLep: No, the release system is different. Each version sticks with whatever versions of software it was released with (plus bugfixes/security patches). New versions of software are put into the next release | 08:41 |
| GibbaTheHutt | BLep, not really, you can always try betas or older versions though, just depends waht you are after | 08:41 |
| BLep | im after betas | 08:42 |
| chriswr | is anyone familiar with medusa? if so , can anyone help me with recovering a password with it , or point out a tutorial? | 08:42 |
| Flannel | BLep: so, Hardy was shipped with version X of foobar, Version Y is released tomorrow, and will never be in Hardy. You'll need to upgrade to Intrepid (8.10) to get version Y. | 08:42 |

| andrew777 | computer | 08:46 |
| andrew777 | i want to install ubuntu 5.04 on my old computer | 08:46 |
| Flannel | andrew777: You're better off finding a linux distro thats tailored to older computers. If you used 5.04, you'd have security vulnerabilities that would never be patched | 08:46 |
| redduck676 | any hints on how to control my fan speed? i have a lenovo 3000 N200. | 08:46 |

| andrew777 | ok, i will thanks | 08:47 |
| Flannel | andrew777: Try xubuntu. Also, DeLiLinux is for older computers, DSL, yeah. | 08:47 |
| andrew777 | i don't want live cd | 08:47 |
| redduck676 | andrew777: debian. openbsd. depends on what you want to use the computer for. | 08:48 |
| chriswr | anyone know what the best screen recorder would be for a lot of movement??????? | 08:48 |
| Sir_Fawnpug | andrew777, you can configure DSL to run as a regular installation (My school's LUG used to sell thumbdrives with it on it) | 08:48 |
| uur_ | http://sudrap.org/paste/3944/ this is the output of sudo apt-get update && sudo apt-cache policy gobjc | 08:48 |

| ikonia | andrew777: driver for what ? | 08:49 |
| andrew777 | vga | 08:49 |
| ikonia | andrew777: you don't need drivers | 08:49 |
| ikonia | andrew777: ubuntu's xorg has most drivers you need packaged in | 08:49 |
| ikonia | andrew777: what video card is this for ? | 08:49 |
| Flannel | uur: Pastebin your sources.list. I'm fairly sure I know the problem, I'd just like to be sure | 08:50 |

| ikonia | andrew777: that looks like it's supported | 08:50 |
| Sir_Fawnpug | andrew777, the svga driver should work, but if it doesnt, i810 might work as well. Either way, xorg usually comes with thoe drivers because they're so common | 08:51 |
| uur_ | where is sources.list file? | 08:51 |

| bullgard4 | '~$ sudo ethtool eth0' reports: "Link detected: yes." A link between which two points is meant here? | 09:03 |
| ikonia | gaelfx_: is /dev/cdrw a link to a device, such as scd0 ? | 09:04 |
| gaelfx_ | ikonia: sysinfo seems to know what kind of drive it is, but when I check the properties from nautilus, it says everything unknown | 09:04 |
| ikonia | bullgard4: normally means there is no cable plugged in | 09:04 |
| Billyium | well its on a flash game site | 09:04 |
| ikonia | bullgard4: sorry, means there is a cable plugged in | 09:04 |
| gaelfx_ | ikonia: right on the money | 09:04 |
| ikonia | gaelfx_: ok, do you have 2 cd/dvd drives in this machine ? | 09:05 |
| gaelfx_ | ikonia: it | 09:05 |
| bullgard4 | ikonia: How is the ethtool command able to detect if there is a cable plugged in? | 09:05 |

| gaelfx_ | ikonia: 's a lappy, no space for that ;) | 09:05 |
| exot | hello all, I would like to enable a connection to my office from outside, I have ubuntu server. any leading points ? | 09:05 |
| ikonia | bullgard4: it's not - it's responding to "link_status" from the network card | 09:05 |
| ikonia | gaelfx_: ok perfect. | 09:05 |
| gaelfx_ | ikonia: they put the ' too close to enter | 09:05 |
| ikonia | gaelfx_: so if you put in a blank cd - it does nothing, it doesn't mount "blank cd" on your desktop ? | 09:05 |
| gaelfx_ | ikonia: correct | 09:06 |
| hkittysmoothie | How can I set the window buttons on my panel so that they do not look like buttons? The way they are now looks really ugly with a transparant panel | 09:06 |

| WonTeR | how to install gcc on Ubuntu 6.06.2 LTS \n \l | 09:07 |
| ikonia | WonTeR: apt-get install gcc | 09:07 |
| ikonia | WonTeR: or the "gcc" package in synaptic | 09:08 |

| ikonia | bullgard4: no | 09:08 |
| gaelfx_ | ikonia: ok, so how do I teach Ubuntu about my new hardware? | 09:08 |
| WonTeR | apt-get install gcc | 09:08 |
| WonTeR | Reading package lists... Done | 09:08 |
| WonTeR | Building dependency tree... Done | 09:08 |
| WonTeR | Package gcc is not available, but is referred to by another package. | 09:08 |
| WonTeR | This may mean that the package is missing, has been obsoleted, or | 09:08 |
| WonTeR | is only available from another source | 09:08 |
| FloodBot3 | WonTeR: Please don't flood, use http://paste.ubuntu.com to paste, don't use Enter as punctuation. | 09:08 |
| ikonia | gaelfx_: it seems to know | 09:08 |
| WonTeR | E: Package gcc has no installation candidate | 09:08 |
| ikonia | WonTeR: install the "build-essential" package | 09:08 |
| weezelding | what free virtual machine would support a usb when windows xp is the guest os? | 09:08 |
| gaelfx_ | ikonia: ok, I'll try to reboot again and see if it figures it out | 09:08 |
| ikonia | WonTeR: I suspect gcc has been updated to gcc 3 and gcc 4 in seperate packages | 09:08 |
| Pilkington | i still get lost trying to get this messenger working, heh.. atleast it's on now | 09:08 |
| gaelfx_ | ikonia: be back in a few probably | 09:08 |
| ikonia | gaelfx_: its most off, as it see the cdrw part | 09:09 |
| ikonia | gaelfx_: but even though it sees that, it doesn't want to use it | 09:09 |
| weezelding | and vmware is out of count | 09:09 |
| Pilkington | anyway, i was wondering what are my chance of getting games to run on my ubuntu? :S | 09:09 |
| ikonia | gaelfx_: before you go, can we do a quick test ?? | 09:09 |
| gaelfx_ | ikonia: surely | 09:09 |
| ikonia | Pilkington: as in windows games ? | 09:09 |
| it-linux | Pilkington : what kind of games do you want? | 09:09 |
| ikonia | gaelfx_: install a package called "gnomebaker" | 09:09 |
| Pilkington | ikona, aye | 09:09 |
| ikonia | Pilkington: thats all down to wine, nothing to do with ubuntu | 09:09 |
| Pilkington | it-linux, steam games, HL2, guild wars, older command and conquer games and stuff | 09:10 |
| gaelfx_ | ikonia: I already have k3b and Brasero, do you still want gnomebaker? | 09:10 |
| ordinateur | j #servhome | 09:10 |
| ikonia | gaelfx_: are you on kde ? | 09:10 |
| Pilkington | ikona, i mean.. will they be playable? i hear they're really poor performance :S | 09:10 |
| it-linux | Pilkington : use wine | 09:10 |
| ikonia | Pilkington: again - nothing to do with ubuntu, thats down to wine | 09:10 |
| gaelfx_ | ikonia: no, just using some progs from their side | 09:10 |
| WonTeR | . | 09:10 |
| Pilkington | ikona, uuh, i take it you guys don't know >_< | 09:10 |
| ikonia | gaelfx_: I only suggest gnome baker as its linked into gnome (I'm wondering if the issue is hal) | 09:10 |

| ikonia | ca42: so your %100 in what your saying | 09:25 |
| sachin | fghg | 09:25 |
| ikonia | ca42: however, turn of hostbased checking as although each machine mounts the same /home partition, they are different machines with different "host keys" | 09:25 |
| ikonia | sachin: do you have a question | 09:25 |
| kcman | it-linux no this is a pmci card for a laptop | 09:25 |
| ca42 | ikonia: Hmm and those host keys are stored where ? | 09:25 |
| kcman | it-linux i just bought it at my px | 09:26 |
| ikonia | ca42: look in your sshd_config - they are basiclly added to client's "known_hosts" file | 09:26 |

| kcman | ikonia i guess yes i am still trying to build a driver | 09:26 |
| ikonia | kcman: which device was this for | 09:27 |
| ca42 | ikonia: Hmm ok but it is not enough that they are in there right ? | 09:27 |
| kcman | a belkin pmci wireless adapter | 09:28 |

| Sorres | im trying to install java, and it says to insert the root password, where do i find that? | 09:37 |
| ikonia | hellop: that file system is personal to each system | 09:37 |
| hellop | ikonia, I accidently reset all the permissions | 09:37 |
| ikonia | hellop: reboot and it should re-create all those devices | 09:37 |
| hellop | you can encrypt the paste and give me the pass.. | 09:37 |
| ikonia | hellop: just make sure /dev/null and /dev/console are rw rw rw by all | 09:37 |
| hellop | ikonia, someone in #debian said that rebooting will reset sys and proc but not dev | 09:37 |
| ikonia | hellop: you don't need to see it, reboot and udev will recreate them | 09:37 |

| kcman | ikonia how do i find the device id i am almost donw | 09:38 |

| belkinhelp2 | but when i do a terminal hddtemp my hard drive is showing an actual 28C | 09:39 |
| hellop | ikonia, because it's a deb derivative and no one in debian would pastebin the perms of their /dev dir | 09:39 |
| belkinhelp2 | how do i change lm sensors to give me the correct output? | 09:39 |
| ikonia | hellop: 1.) thats not a reason to get debian support in here 2.) rebooting will let udev recreate your devices with the correct permissions | 09:39 |

| hellop | wols_, so see I can access the /bin dir, but /lib not having execute perm on the directory, would also prevent me from running a chmod in another dir.. ? | 10:14 |
| Madkinder | lucas_: try avidemux | 10:14 |
| kernel_ghost | lucas_: what format does it require | 10:14 |
| ikonia | hellop: use a livecd to fix and use the proper support resources for your distro please. | 10:14 |
| lucas_ | avi | 10:14 |
| hellop | ikonia, I'm talking about a perms issue that is the same on debain and ubuntu... | 10:14 |

| lucas_ | i need to convert videos for my zen, an avi file to a size off 320x240 with an bitrate of 800 does anybody have a command for it? | 10:29 |
| Bod | lucas_, look up the package ffmpeg | 10:30 |
| lucas_ | Bod: already have that | 10:30 |
| Bod | !info ffmpeg | 10:30 |
| ubottu | ffmpeg (source: ffmpeg): multimedia player, server and encoder. In component universe, is optional. Version 3:0.cvs20070307-5ubuntu7 (hardy), package size 187 kB, installed size 664 kB | 10:30 |
| lucas_ | ......... | 10:30 |
| newb | my Intel 945G graphics chipset isn't working with Hardy. anyone know how to solve this? i was going through /var/Xorg.0.log.old and I found this message which was weird: (II) [drm] loaded kernel module for "i915" driver. | 10:30 |
| Bod | lucas_, i believe ffmpeg can convert those formats | 10:30 |
| Pilkington | in winedoors, i just started it first time and it's asking me to "locate installer for AutoHotKey 1" what am i looking for? :S | 10:30 |
| lucas_ | i first tryed mencoder | 10:30 |
| newb | it should load a i945 driver if i'm not mistaken? | 10:30 |
| lucas_ | but what is the actual command? | 10:30 |
| Mr-Snick | St3mchen - sudo apt-get install tor privoxy | 10:31 |
| Bod | lucas_, haha, no idea man ffmpeg | 10:31 |
| negri | how can a bind a key to program? | 10:31 |
| Bod | negri, ccsm --> General-->commands or 1 of those tabs anyway (not on ubuntu atm) | 10:31 |
| newb | oh i checked there is only an i915 driver :( | 10:32 |
| Slart | negri: I think you can use ccsm for that | 10:32 |
| negri | what is ccsm? :S | 10:32 |
| Bod | !ccsm | 10:32 |
| IndyGunFreak | isn't there a drive cloner in the repositories? | 10:32 |
| ubottu | 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 | 10:32 |

| __ryan__ | newb, the 915 driver is also for the 945, it's actually all under the '810' driver | 10:33 |

| ubottu | Sorres: Ubuntu can be installed in a lot of ways. Please see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Installation for documentation. Problems during install? See https://wiki.ubuntu.com/CommonProblemsInstall. Don't want to use a CD? Try http://tinyurl.com/3exghs - See also !automate | 10:54 |
| Bodsda | Sorres, sorry, wrong one | 10:54 |
| poningru | Sorres: assuming you are using ubuntu and not kubuntu go into system->admin->synaptic | 10:55 |
| poningru | make sure you have internet connection | 10:55 |
| poningru | as it will be downloading the software | 10:55 |
| poningru | Sorres: what exactly are you looking for? | 10:56 |
| Sorres | poningru: well im trying to get freecol to work, but it doesnt start. i used the synaptic package manager to install it | 10:56 |
| Chaotic_Descent | uh... is there a way I can browse my digital camera's files so I can delete them? so far all I can do is copy them with some special importing thing that pops up. | 10:57 |
| arenax | have you try sudo apt-get install ... | 10:57 |
| arenax | i konsole | 10:57 |
| Bodsda | Sorres, when you type freecol into a terminal what happens? | 10:57 |
| massmc | ho do i get rid of the join/part messages on the channel | 10:57 |
| Gallez | is it possible to install ubuntu on a pendrive in such a way that the pendrive is treated as a normal hdd? by that i mean is it possible to put the pendrive ubuntu in the grub list and boot it normally? | 10:57 |
| Sorres | Bodsda: exec: 26: /usr/lib/jvm/java-6-sun/jre/bin/java: not found | 10:57 |
| Bodsda | Sorres, what is freecol? | 10:58 |
| Bodsda | !info freecol | 10:58 |
| ubottu | freecol (source: freecol): an open version of Colonization. In component universe, is optional. Version 0.7.2-5ubuntu1 (hardy), package size 12718 kB, installed size 18456 kB | 10:58 |
| wols_ | a free colonization clone for linux | 10:58 |
| wols_ | !usb install | 10:58 |
| ubottu | Sorry, I don't know anything about usb install | 10:58 |

| wols_ | doh! | 10:58 |
| wols_ | thanks Bodsda | 10:58 |
| Bodsda | mwahaha | 10:58 |
| Bodsda | your welcome | 10:58 |
| Bodsda | wols_, i remember there being a factoid about how to install software, any ideas what the trigger is? | 10:59 |
| Sorres | Bodsda: when i type !info freecol it says "event not found" | 10:59 |
| === WikiMan is now known as MatthewV | ||
| wols_ | Bodsda: run synaptic and go from there? or what software do you mean? | 10:59 |
| x_ | helloo everybody , what's the command for installing the JAVA ?! " sudo apt-get istall java " didn't worked | 10:59 |
| wols_ | Sorres: where do you type it? | 11:00 |
| Bodsda | Sorres, oh dont do that, thats just something on irc, search synaptic for 'java' and install it | 11:00 |
| wols_ | !java | x_ | 11:00 |
| ubottu | x_: 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 | 11:00 |
| Chaotic_Descent | my camera doesn't show up under Computer, even though it detects it and can import photos. | 11:00 |
| Bodsda | wols_, no its just someone asked on here earlier and i thought there was a factoid with some links to all the different ways | 11:00 |
| matteo_ | noone speak italian here? | 11:00 |
| Sorres | wols_: in the terminal | 11:00 |
| wols_ | !it | 11:00 |
| manifest | !ita | 11:00 |
| ubottu | Vai su #ubuntu-it se vuoi parlare in italiano, in questo canale usiamo solo l'inglese. Grazie! | 11:00 |
| ubottu | Sorry, I don't know anything about ita | 11:00 |
| Bodsda | Chaotic_Descent, its probably detected, type sudo fdisk -l in a terminal, is it there? | 11:01 |
| wols_ | Sorres: ther is no "!info" command in the terminal | 11:01 |
| Bodsda | wols_, he saw me use !info on here i think | 11:01 |
| Sorres | Bodsda: in synaptic manager the java:common is green on the box | 11:01 |
| wols_ | of course | 11:01 |
| Sorres | wols_: yeah i misunderstood :) | 11:01 |
| Chaotic_Descent | Bodsda: nope. not listed. only /dev/sda#'s are listed. | 11:02 |
| Bodsda | Sorres, hmmm, not sure then,.,. can you pastebin all the output (including the command) from your terminal please -- after typing freecol | 11:02 |
| Bodsda | Chaotic_Descent, then its not detected as a valid drive, try changing the setiings in your camara to act as a mass storage device | 11:02 |
| Bodsda | !paste | Sorres | 11:02 |
| ubottu | Sorres: pastebin is a service to post multiple-lined texts so you don't flood the channel. The Ubuntu pastebin is at http://paste.ubuntu.com (make sure you give us the URL for your paste - see also the channel topic) | 11:02 |
| Chaotic_Descent | Bodsda: I don't think my camera has settings like that... | 11:03 |
| Bodsda | Chaotic_Descent, is it a digital camera? | 11:03 |
| Chaotic_Descent | Bodsda: yes. point&shoot. | 11:03 |
| Bodsda | Chaotic_Descent, does it have a memory card? | 11:03 |
| Chaotic_Descent | Bodsda: yes. SD card. | 11:03 |
| Bodsda | Chaotic_Descent, then it should have the setting | 11:03 |
| Sorres | Bodsda: http://paste.ubuntu.com/27246/ | 11:04 |
| Chaotic_Descent | Bodsda: nope. no setting like that. | 11:05 |
| Bodsda | Chaotic_Descent, can you see the drive in lsusb? | 11:05 |
| Bodsda | im not sure im afraid Sorres, java isnt being detected for some reason | 11:06 |
| ale_ | webcam....with problen somebody help me?? | 11:06 |
| Chaotic_Descent | it's not even a crappy camera. it's a high-end Canon. | 11:06 |
| Chaotic_Descent | Bodsda: where is lsusb? | 11:06 |
| Sorres | Bodsda: in the synaptic, is it only java common that has to be installed? | 11:06 |
| Bodsda | Chaotic_Descent, type lsusb into a terminal | 11:06 |
| Bodsda | Sorres, im not sure | 11:07 |
| Chaotic_Descent | Bodsda: yup. it's there. | 11:07 |
| Bodsda | Sorres, im on windows atm so i cant be certain | 11:07 |
| Sorres | Bodsda: i can try to reinstall it | 11:07 |
| Sorres | ok | 11:07 |
| IndyGunFreak | Sorres: are you using 64bit by chance? | 11:07 |
| Bodsda | Chaotic_Descent, wouldnt it be easier to just delete them using the camera? | 11:07 |
| Sorres | IndyGunFreak: no im not | 11:07 |
| ale_ | i have a color problem with my web cam.... | 11:08 |
| IndyGunFreak | ok | 11:08 |
| Chaotic_Descent | Bodsda: not if I want to delete a few hundred pictures but leave a few on there, no. | 11:08 |
| Bodsda | !elaborate | ale_ | 11:08 |

| diilbertAtWork | I am wondering how to remove the password prompt when I resume from suspend. | 11:08 |
| Bodsda | Chaotic_Descent, apart from looking really hard for that setting, theres nothing else i can suggest im afraid | 11:08 |
| natalisushka | Hi guys, anyone knows some terminal like putty or something through which I can connect to a server automatically at start without having to enter user and pass? | 11:08 |
| diilbertAtWork | Any ideas would be appreciated. | 11:09 |
| Chaotic_Descent | Bodsda: why does Windows let me browse my camera's files and delete them then? | 11:09 |
| unop | natalisushka, setup public key authentication with ssh - then you don't have to type a password | 11:09 |
| natalisushka | unop, Do you know how to do that? | 11:10 |
| Bodsda | Chaotic_Descent, because A) windows is an entirely different OS, B) it has specialized software for your camera C) You paid for the extra support D) because no one has bothered to create an app to do your job on linux yet or E) because your camera has the wrong setting enabled | 11:10 |
| natalisushka | unop, Can you tell me please how to do it? | 11:10 |

| Chaotic_Descent | I didn't install any special software for my camera in Windows, so unless it's special software that's part of Windows, it's not. I noticed Linux had problems reading from a generic USB SD card reader as well. It was in some kind of odd file system format that it didn't like very much, and while I managed to get it to read from it finally, there was absolutely no way for it to properly eject the drive after I had manually loa | 11:12 |
| Chaotic_Descent | ded it. | 11:12 |

| unop | ale_, stop pasting in here | 11:13 |
| poningru_ | shah: no the wubi installation is limited to ubuntu | 11:13 |

| AbstortedMinds | thanks guys | 11:14 |
| bboschman | Hi | 11:14 |
| Sorres | all maps are possible to rename yes? | 11:14 |
| shah | poningru_: my ques is is it better to install inside windows or out side windows, im planning to multi boot different linux distros | 11:15 |
| ale_ | http://paste.ubuntu.com/27250/ | 11:15 |
| bboschman | I got a problem installing 8.04.1 on my DELL server (see screenshot: https://jesusch.de/~jesusch/img/ubuntu-error.jpg ) | 11:15 |
| wols_ | shah: don't install via wubi if you can help it | 11:15 |
| bboschman | anyone aware of this problem? | 11:15 |
| bboschman | all I found on google was regarding IDE master/slave stuff | 11:15 |
| wols_ | bboschman: secure connection failed. if you must have a https cert, use a proper one or it's useless | 11:15 |
| poningru_ | shah: better to install outside of windows | 11:15 |
| shah | poningru_: okey | 11:16 |
| bboschman | wols_, I care about secure passwords - not about spending money to cert authorities | 11:16 |
| Chaotic_Descent | Is there a directory where normally a digital camera plugged into a USB cable would show up? /dev? /etc? I'm not so familiar with the file system. | 11:16 |
| bboschman | so therefor it's not useless | 11:17 |
| wols_ | bboschman: so does my firefox. it just doesn't display your page since it deems it insecure and tampered with. have a nice day | 11:17 |
| Sorres | Bodsda: do u think the problem can be that one map is called something else then what it says in the terminal | 11:17 |
| bboschman | wols_, there is a button to accept the selfsigned cert | 11:17 |
| unop | Chaotic_Descent, plug the camera in, open up a terminal and examine the output of this command. dmesg | tail | 11:18 |
| moDumass | hey all, does anyone else have issues with tor atm | 11:18 |

| wols_ | and frankly your site is not worth that. if you want help you better make it easy for people wanting to help you. note how no one commeted on your problem yet? | 11:19 |
| bboschman | wols_, so you suppose me to buy a ssl-cert for much money? | 11:19 |
| Chaotic_Descent | unop: I'm not sure how to understand the output of that. | 11:19 |
| wols_ | no. I suggest not to use https for throwaway stuff like this | 11:19 |

| wols_ | !pulsaudio | 11:39 |
| ubottu | Sorry, I don't know anything about pulsaudio | 11:39 |
| wols_ | !pulseaudio | 11:39 |
| ubottu | PulseAudio is a sound server intended as a drop-in replacement for !ESD - See https://wiki.ubuntu.com/PulseAudio for information and installation instructions | 11:39 |
| MariachiAC | Jason, I cna't use kde | 11:39 |
| __ryan__ | pulseaudio is installed and running | 11:39 |
| __ryan__ | ships with ubuntu by default does it not | 11:39 |
| jasonago | MariachiAC: why? because you're on ubuntu? | 11:39 |
| MariachiAC | Jason, no because i use the Orca screen reader and it only works well with gnome. | 11:40 |
| jasonago | I have a kubuntu install...I'm planing to switch to ubuntu... | 11:40 |
| plutarcus | hi all | 11:40 |
| guest23232 | jasonago.. how come? - dont you like kubuntu? | 11:40 |
| plutarcus | can someone help me installing google sketchup on ubuntu with wine? | 11:40 |
| jasonago | MariachiAC: I think you can run kde apps on gnome...you just need to download the needed kdelibs... | 11:41 |
| jasonago | I even tried running amarok, kopete, and other kde apps on xubuntu... | 11:41 |
| __ryan__ | wols_, pulseaudio is running already | 11:41 |
| MariachiAC | Jason Ues I can, but Orca (the screen reader for graphical environments) does not work wwell with KDE applicaitons. I am not able to read windows. | 11:41 |
| _ZEUS_ | I have found a sollution to my problem now it sais something else: "ffmpeg: error while loading shared libraries: libvorbisenc.so.2: cannot open shared object file: No such file or directory" | 11:42 |
| dynamethod | HI there i asked this question in #gimp but i really need a reply, how do i import fonts into gimp? i cant find arial bold in the font dialog, so i'd like to import it if possible(using ubuntu 8.04 and GIMP 2.4.5) | 11:43 |
| jasonago | guest23232: I liked it preety well...but there are things that I dont like as well...there are so many settings which I don't like to mess up with...ubuntu seems more streamlined...I'll install ubuntu then download only my fave kde apps...amarok, kopete, kpdf, akregator... | 11:43 |
| jasonago | also I liked nautilus more than konqueror...BUT I like konqueror's ftp capabilities... | 11:43 |
| wols_ | !fonts | 11:44 |
| jasonago | does nautilus understand ftp? | 11:44 |

| andycan | Why cant i use cpu-freq governors, When setting a governor to powersave in cpu-freq it remains on highest possible clock. cpufreq-set -u value -d value -g gov syntax however worked? | 11:44 |
| guest23232 | jasonago: am i rite in thinking kubuntu is better for lower spec PCs because I have an old laptop I wouold like to try it on | 11:44 |
| guest23232 | also is it KDE or gnome? | 11:44 |
| wols_ | guest23232: not right | 11:44 |
| jasonago | in kubuntu we just copy paste fonts without hassle...can we do that on ubuntu? | 11:44 |
| wols_ | guest23232: use xubuntu with xfce | 11:44 |

| guest23232 | wols: whats kubntu for then? | 11:45 |
| guest23232 | *kubuntu | 11:45 |
| wols_ | guest23232: it uses kde. kde and gnome use about the same amount of RAM: a lot | 11:45 |
| guest23232 | ahhhh ok | 11:45 |
| jasonago | guest23232: Uhm, relatively kubuntu may require higher PC spec because kde is more heavy compared to gnome or xfce... | 11:45 |
| Sorres | what do i have to type in terminal to navigate to cd/usr/java ?? | 11:46 |
| dynamethod | hey how do i install arial-bold font onto ubuntu 8.04? i need this for gimp but i dont have a .font folder, only .fontconfig which contains 2 cache files | 11:46 |
| guest23232 | im fairly confident with using ubuntu and everything would xubuntu be like relearning linux again? | 11:47 |
| lordnoid | guest23232: no | 11:47 |
| Aaron_ | wols_, does ubuntu has a sid version of? | 11:47 |
| Aaron_ | ubuntu? | 11:47 |
| jasonago | guest23232: uhm i tried xubuntu by downloading the xubuntu-desktop on top of kubuntu...xubuntu is preety like gnome... | 11:47 |
| Aaron_ | like in debian? | 11:47 |
| jasonago | xubuntu interface is easy to learn just like ubuntu's gnome... | 11:48 |

| dmseg | ikonia: when i click somethong it should open up in a giffy when i run stuff (openoffice or say doom game it stucks!) so i was worndering if i can install ubuntu on my laptop the /proc filesystem also is really big! so i need a good performnce you know | 12:01 |
| === gardar is now known as gardar`afk | ||
| lordnoid | Nockian: if you got an internet connection 8.04.1 = 8.04 :P | 12:01 |
| Nockian | ok | 12:01 |
| ikonia | dmseg: ok - so thats graphical | 12:01 |
| ikonia | dmseg: not task driven | 12:01 |
| ikonia | dmseg: /proc is not a real file system | 12:01 |
| lordnoid | is compiz standard enabled in xubuntu :P? | 12:01 |
| ikonia | dmseg: first thing, tell me what video card you have | 12:02 |
| dmseg | ikonia: /proc virtual filesystem takes 64mb of ram not good! (intel 64mb vram nice one) | 12:02 |
| ikonia | dmseg: thatss the kernel - it's not taking up ram, its what the kernel is running | 12:02 |
| ikonia | dmseg: what video card do you have | 12:02 |
| Nockian | is there a repository that i can add to my apt sources.list that provides packages for newer kernels? | 12:03 |
| ikonia | Nockian: not advised | 12:03 |
| wols_ | Nockian: why do you need a newer kernel | 12:03 |
| Nockian | ikonia: well, it's either that or compile from hand. | 12:03 |
| ikonia | Nockian: ubuntu puts a lot of effort into making kernel compatible with core system | 12:03 |
| wols_ | ikonia: I found one reason where it is necessary... | 12:03 |
| ikonia | Nockian: check out wols question | 12:03 |
| ikonia | wols_: I'm aware of a few. | 12:03 |
| wols_ | ikonia: ICH10 in my case | 12:04 |
| Nockian | because i'm using a bleeding edge motherboard that has a bug that's been fixed for a driver (reports a false positive with ECC memory that floods the syslogd) | 12:04 |
| dmseg | ikonia: /proc has kernels as well as i/o suff other distro's have smaller ones | 12:04 |
| ikonia | dmseg: why are you arguing over /proc - thats just a kernel interface, don't worry about it, that is what your kernel is currenlty running | 12:04 |
| ikonia | dmseg: what video card do you have ? | 12:04 |
| dmseg | ikonia: intel 810gm or somethin 64mb of vram | 12:05 |
| wols_ | Nockian: if you know what you are doing you can install the intrepid ibex kernel. but careful! and you are on your own when something blows up... | 12:05 |
| ikonia | dmseg: ok, so an onboard video vard | 12:05 |
| ikonia | dmseg: how much physical ram do you have ? | 12:05 |
| dmseg | ikonia: yes its supported well | 12:05 |
| ikonia | dmseg: how much physical ram do you have ? | 12:05 |
| dmseg | ikonia: 256mb ram actua is 248mb | 12:05 |
| ikonia | dmseg: ok - so your actually lacking ram in general | 12:06 |
| Nockian | wols_: thank you | 12:06 |
| dmseg | ikonia: heh yep | 12:06 |
| ikonia | dmseg: so that is a pretty solid reason of why it's suffering a little with performance | 12:07 |
| lordnoid | ikonia: i thought 256MB is the recommended requirement for xubuntu | 12:07 |
| ikonia | dmseg: you can try to reduce the over head, with minimal running daemons, disabling compiz | 12:07 |
| ikonia | lordnoid: it is | 12:07 |
| ikonia | lordnoid: to quote from the website but it is strongly recommended to have at least 256 MB RAM | 12:07 |
| dmseg | lordnoid: it is but i dont know why its very slow | 12:07 |
| ikonia | lordnoid: because your low on ram | 12:08 |
| wols_ | lordnoid: RAM is always a fluid thing. there never is a true cut off point | 12:08 |
| KOPRajs | hello | 12:08 |
| KOPRajs | where can I get my actuall running kernel config in Ubuntu, pls? | 12:09 |
| lordnoid | well you can alway check if your ram is full :) and otherwise buy ram.. its cheap nowadays | 12:09 |
| KOPRajs | is it accessible through /proc/something? | 12:09 |
| ikonia | lordnoid: keep in mind dmseg is running 256 - 64meg for his video card | 12:09 |
| dmseg | sorry guys have to go Jake syas there's somethin worng with the ubuntu server maybe ill coe back here and ask bout that heh | 12:09 |

| KOPRajs | th | 12:10 |
| KOPRajs | thx | 12:10 |
| lordnoid | ikonia: maybe he didnt install correct video drivers ;s idk :p | 12:10 |
| ikonia | lordnoid: he's just short of ram | 12:10 |
| wols_ | lordnoid: most probably | 12:10 |
| lordnoid | ok :P | 12:10 |
| wols_ | ikonia: bloated ubuntu :P | 12:10 |
| KOPRajs | there's no /proc/*config* ... I'm on Hardy installed from Windows | 12:11 |
| wols_ | KOPRajs: but there is a /boot/config* | 12:11 |
| ikonia | KOPRajs: /boot - confis are in there | 12:11 |
| KOPRajs | ok | 12:11 |
| wols_ | KOPRajs: there should be a /proc/config.gz (hopefully) | 12:12 |
| ikonia | wols_: thats disabled in ubuntu kernels for some reason | 12:12 |
| KOPRajs | maybe some module needs to be loaded to get /proc/config.gz? | 12:12 |
| dmseg | lordnoid: driver are fine (bot_reply remote http://rohan.net/remote/replyirc.php=drivers are fine| lordnoid) | 12:12 |
| wols_ | KOPRajs: as ikonia said. disabled. usually it's a kernel settin | 12:12 |
| wols_ | g | 12:12 |
| ikonia | dmseg: that url is dead | 12:12 |
| KOPRajs | well... if I need to change only a few things in kernel... I just link /bootconfig to /usr.src/linux/.config... run menuconfig, change, make, install ? | 12:13 |
| ikonia | dmseg: even if your using the correct video drivers, your still shy on ram a little | 12:13 |
| dmseg | ikonia: quiet strict i must asy | 12:13 |
| ikonia | dmseg: your using 256mb - 64mb - that puts you bellow the recommended | 12:13 |
| ikonia | dmseg: strict ? | 12:13 |
| ikonia | dmseg: in what way, your url is dead | 12:13 |

| TecR0c | Is there a tool like visionapp in linux ? | 12:39 |
| TecR0c | i want it so i can manage my rdp's | 12:39 |
| TecR0c | so i can have multiple running at the same time which i can manage easier. | 12:40 |
| bazhang | Xsss4hell, what did you add to your sources.list? there are two sets (nearly) in there | 12:40 |
| prap19_ | bazhang--so wat next should i do? | 12:40 |
| Xsss4hell | bazhang, I replaced mine with yours, deleted all sources.list.save and deleted the contents in /var/lib/apt/lists and /var/lib/apt/lists/partial except the folder partial which is needed | 12:41 |
| slashjamiec | hey | 12:41 |
| ZeroA4 | TecR0c, what is versionapp ? | 12:41 |
| Xsss4hell | bazhang, then sudo apt-get update | 12:41 |
| bSON | hi | 12:41 |
| slashjamiec | How are you bSON? | 12:41 |
| TecR0c | ZeroA4: it is an application which manages your remote desktops. so you can quickly switch between them and view several at the same time. | 12:42 |
| bazhang | http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=844185 prap19_ | 12:42 |
| bSON | are the package descriptions in gnome-app-install localized? for me they are english despite my locale being set to de_DE.UTF-8 | 12:42 |
| bSON | slashjamiec: i'm fine, thanks for asking :) | 12:42 |
| ZeroA4 | TecR0c, like VNC ? | 12:43 |
| bazhang | Xsss4hell, that is not the correct directory; are you using ubuntu or another distro | 12:43 |
| Xsss4hell | bazhang, I am using Ubuntu Hardy | 12:43 |
| bazhang | Xsss4hell, the correct place is /etc/apt/sources.list | 12:43 |
| TecR0c | ZeroA4: yes like VNC but i want to manage window servers aswell | 12:44 |
| TecR0c | and i don't want to load vnc on them | 12:44 |
| ZeroA4 | TecR0c, VNC has windows servers | 12:44 |
| Xsss4hell | bazhang, yes I saved the contents of your file into that place | 12:44 |
| bazhang | Xsss4hell, are you using gnome? | 12:44 |
| Xsss4hell | yes | 12:44 |
| TecR0c | i want to do it all through rdp | 12:44 |
| prap19_ | <bazhang> | 12:44 |
| bazhang | prap19_, read that link I sent you | 12:45 |
| TecR0c | I dont want to install software on those windows servers. | 12:45 |
| prap19_ | <bazhang> i doing a mistake it seems.I am not able to apply the solution that is given in UBUNTUFORUM | 12:45 |
| bazhang | Xsss4hell, gksudo gedit /etc/apt/sources.list and then paste in the new one over the old one | 12:45 |
| ZeroA4 | TecR0c, the terminal server client that comes with ubuntu can conect to RDP ie Terminal Server/Windows Remote Desktop | 12:45 |
| trinux | whats the problem when totem wont play a flash video at all, and vlc only does sometimes when i re-encode the flash movie with ffmpeg? | 12:45 |
| bazhang | prap19_, what exact error did you get (pastebin if over one line to paste.ubuntu.com) | 12:46 |
| TecR0c | Yeah i know ZeroA4 but i want an applicatoin which can manage them easier | 12:46 |
| Xsss4hell | bazhang, OK I solved the problem. It was really strange and I don't understand what the reason was. I doubleclicked sources.list the assigned applications opened up. I changed the Mainserver to a Server in Germany and it worked.. | 12:46 |
| TecR0c | i have 20 servers i need to rdp too | 12:46 |
| bazhang | trinux, and you are re-encoding why? | 12:46 |
| ZeroA4 | TecR0c, whats is the dificulty ? | 12:46 |
| bazhang | Xsss4hell, nice. | 12:47 |
| prap19_ | <bazhang> it says command not found | 12:47 |
| TecR0c | so i want an application which can manage rdp sessions easier then tsclient | 12:47 |
| Xsss4hell | bazhang, yes Security is ticked now.. | 12:47 |
| bazhang | prap19_, what command | 12:47 |
| Xsss4hell | I bazhang I wont touch it in my life | 12:47 |
| Xsss4hell | :D | 12:47 |
| acrousey | I am a huge noob, so i know what it sounds like when i say that I feel like such a BAMF running PuppyLinux on RAM... I am lame... | 12:47 |
| bazhang | haha | 12:47 |
| prap19_ | /etc/modprobe.d/alsa-base :command not found | 12:47 |
| trinux | bazhang: somebody told me so when i reported i have no sound | 12:47 |
| prap19_ | i did by sudo administrator | 12:48 |
| Xsss4hell | TecR0c, there are many commercial ones | 12:48 |
| bazhang | trinux, this is for youtube dl's? vlc can play them fine without re-encoding | 12:48 |
| ZeroA4 | TecR0c, I would use VNC | 12:48 |
| Xsss4hell | TecR0c, which also support linux and other OS | 12:48 |
| TecR0c | i know | 12:48 |
| trinux | bazhang: why do i have no sound only with this type of format? | 12:48 |
| bazhang | acrousey, do you have a question? | 12:48 |
| Xsss4hell | TecR0c, but? | 12:48 |
| TecR0c | but don't i have to install the vnc viewer on them ? | 12:48 |
| acrousey | not at the moment | 12:49 |
| bazhang | trinux, flv downloads? are you using wine? what about sound? pulse, alsa, autodetect or other? | 12:49 |
| acrousey | i'm waiting for ubuntu desktop to finish downloading | 12:49 |
| Xsss4hell | TecR0c, No you need to install the vnc server on them. the vnc viewer is just needed for the computer you are sitting on | 12:49 |
| acrousey | i have dsl so it takes a while | 12:49 |
| trinux | bazhang: i downloaded the files via youtube-dl a python script. no wine. using alsa | 12:50 |

| Milos_SD | How can I change my existing login username, without messing up programs that I installed and files I copied to home folder (which name will be change with usename change)? :) | 12:50 |
| Xsss4hell | TecR0c, I had a tool I don't remember the name. it was commercial but pretty cheap I think 50bucks It could install vnc-server automatically on machines I selected in the "Active Directory Domain" I was the Domain Admin of course | 12:50 |
| trinux | !pxe | 12:51 |
| ubottu | Sorry, I don't know anything about pxe | 12:51 |
| bazhang | trinux, have you tried setting to autodetect? (for sound) | 12:51 |
| trinux | bazhang: autodetect where? | 12:51 |
| TecR0c | Xsss4hell: Yeah that tool would be useful | 12:51 |
| bazhang | trinux, also, what about alsamixer in terminal to make sure that nothing is muted | 12:51 |
| Xsss4hell | I TecR0c I was able to control the machines/servers remote or even make my changes visible to the employees so they can follow and trust me by telephone. Or hidden ;) | 12:51 |
| TecR0c | Please let me know if you remember the name | 12:51 |
| === MONIQUEEE is now known as Andy` | ||
| sluxor | does anyone know how to get rar to ignore crc errors? | 12:52 |
| bazhang | trinux, in the sound preferences panel (autodetect) | 12:52 |
| === Andy` is now known as Andy`` | ||
| sluxor | because I know for a fact not all of my downloads are corrupt | 12:52 |
| sluxor | since everything non-rared i download works fine | 12:52 |
| unop | sluxor, ignoring crc errors would mean you don't get the original files back | 12:52 |
| Xsss4hell | TecR0c, lemme look.. i can't promise that I find it again.. I'm out of that biz now.. working as programmer parttime | 12:52 |
| TecR0c | I will def have a think about going vnc | 12:52 |
| unop | sluxor, what are you using to unrar? | 12:53 |
| hateball | sluxor: unrar kb | 12:53 |
| TecR0c | i know it is very good how you can control their sessions without having to log them out etc. | 12:53 |
| sluxor | unop: I don't think so considering everything rared is corrupt and everything non-rared isnt.. | 12:53 |
| TecR0c | Thanks. | 12:53 |
| sluxor | unop: i tried both rar and unrar | 12:53 |
| unop | sluxor, hmm, i think the p7zip utility can unrar too -- you might want to give it a try | 12:54 |
| trinux | haha, this is weird. now all of a sudden the original flash movie plays and the re-encoded one has no sound. a few days ago it was vice versa | 12:54 |
| bazhang | trinux, good news | 12:55 |
| ramvi | I'm customizing the livecd with the help of https://help.ubuntu.com/community/LiveCDCustomization . I try to start gnome to do changes from there, with /etc/init.d/gdm start (howto in the comments), but what is the username and the password? | 12:55 |
| trinux | but i still fail to understand the sound system on linux | 12:55 |
| sluxor | unop: just did , it doesn't :S | 12:55 |
| hateball | sluxor: have you tried unrar with the kb switch? | 12:55 |
| sluxor | hateball: yes it takes me back to the helpfile | 12:56 |
| TecR0c | Which is the best vnc server for windows ? | 12:56 |
| trinux | alsa modules of the kernel, yes. the mixer says only "default". if you choose alsa it sometimes works, then it does not. in different applications you have to configure alsa, but the device is only "default" etc. etc. | 12:56 |
| bazhang | !vnc | 12:56 |
| ubottu | VNC is a protocol for remote desktop. https://help.ubuntu.com/community/VNCOverSSH describes how to use it securely. It works best over fast connections, otherwise look at !FreeNX | 12:56 |
| trinux | why does this have to be so complicated ... | 12:56 |
| hateball | sluxor: that would be for instance: unrar e -kb filename.rar | 12:57 |
| sluxor | ah worked now.. thanx guys' | 12:57 |
| Xsss4hell | TecR0c, I think I found it. I think it was a product from this company: http://www.tools4ever.com/ I also found this http://www.bozteck.com/vncscan/ and this http://www.amtsoftware.com/Active-Administrator/ | 12:57 |

| vrijmetse | hang on.. anyone listening? | 13:23 |
| Fome | Slart: nothing changes when I start totem | 13:24 |
| dr_Willis | ubuntu-baby, the 'hardware drivers manager' icon in the menus is normally used to install those things. | 13:24 |
| andycan | How to disable some certain update from showing up? I installed flash 10 beta 1, now the ubuntu backports repo keeps bugging me with this "flashplugin-nonfree" update that i dont want! | 13:24 |
| ubuntu-baby | My display res is 640x480...I cant change it..and there is nothing inside hardware driver manager | 13:24 |
| vrijmetse | .. | 13:24 |
| vrijmetse | anyone? | 13:24 |
| genii | ablaze: It's possible but not as simple as from USB | 13:24 |
| Slart | Fome: hmm.. hang on.. let me check something | 13:24 |
| Smegzor | I have created limited user accounts for my family. Are those accounts able to reboot or shutdown the pc? I notice they have those options in their log off screens. How do I prevent them from rebooting/shutting down while retaining that ability for my own account? | 13:24 |
| yesudeep | Whenever I run aptitude on my ubuntu server installation, i get these messages: http://pastebin.com/f60f79753 | 13:24 |
| dr_Willis | ubuntu-baby, if the driver is installed and the res is incorrect. I normally install the 'nvidia-settings' tool and run it with 'sudo nvidia-settings' and tweak the display | 13:25 |
| Slart | vrijmetse: just ask your question.. on one line.. with all the info you've got.. if someone knows the answer they will answer | 13:25 |
| yesudeep | perl: warning: Setting locale failed... | 13:25 |
| yesudeep | What seems to be the problem? | 13:25 |
| Fome | Slart: btw: in the "Sound" menu in Totem the options "Volume up" and "Volume down" are greyed | 13:25 |
| ablaze | well::: i will give it a try please ::: if it will not work then i will try use CD or usb please | 13:25 |
| Slart | Fome: in system, preferences, sound.. is everything set to pulseaudio? | 13:25 |
| genii | ablaze: Does the machine have already Windows? | 13:26 |
| Fome | Slart: no, everything is set to ALSA | 13:26 |
| Slart | Fome: set it to pulseaudio | 13:26 |
| ablaze | yes | 13:26 |
| ablaze | windows XP professional version 2002 service pack 3 | 13:27 |
| Fome | Slart: Hey! That fixed it! :) | 13:27 |
| ablaze | but i want to totally remove windows xp and install linux | 13:27 |
| Fome | Slart: may I ask why ALSA isn't working? | 13:27 |
| ablaze | and how ur message containing my name is in brown? | 13:27 |
| genii | ablaze: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Installation/FromWindows May help you then | 13:28 |
| brett_h | If you have a machine bound to multiple IPs (accessing the same network, say the public internet) --- how do you know which one will be used for outgoing traffic (not from bound ports and interface, etc)? | 13:28 |
| Slart | Fome: it probably works.. but it might have some problems playing more than one sound at a time | 13:28 |
| Slart | Fome: pulseaudio uses alsa too.. it's just a layer above alse.. | 13:28 |
| Fome | Slart: OK, well this seemed to solve my problem anyway. Thanks a bunch! | 13:28 |
| genii | ablaze: Any messages which contain your username here appear differently so that they are easy to find | 13:28 |
| Slart | Fome: you're welcome | 13:28 |
| achadwick | For ablaze and others: http://www.slax.org/ appear to have a Windows-installable USB boot image. You might be able to make the Ubuntu Live"CD" USB stick from that. Assuming that ablaze only has a Windows install available as a runnable system. | 13:28 |
| Slart | brett_h: I assume by the value of default gateway | 13:29 |
| ablaze | thanks a lot for ur replies ::: i will give it a try and tell u if any problem ::: so nice of u | 13:29 |
| t0th_- | how i install flash firefox 3 ubuntu? | 13:30 |
| dani_ | jj | 13:30 |
| Smegzor | Does anyone know how to limit who can shut down a pc? | 13:31 |
| ablaze | genii: I have used unetbootin with ubuntu 8.04_live ::: it works well but after restarting it shows a bird like thing and after some time the monitro starts blinking and nothing happened | 13:31 |
| Slart | t0th_-: sudo apt-get install flashplugin-nonfree | 13:31 |
| genii | ablaze: I have not used that and so am not much assistance with it | 13:31 |
| ablaze | genii: thanks anyway | 13:31 |
| newb | if i download the latest ubuntu image what kernel will it have?? | 13:32 |
| brett_h | Slart: I'm not sure what makes the default, but it's not using any of the defined "gateway"s in /etc/network/interfaces | 13:32 |
| newb | do i still have to upgrade? | 13:32 |
| bushwakko | I need help with this problem: http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=856042 | 13:32 |
| Slart | brett_h: route prints out a list of routes etc.. there should be one default gateway there | 13:32 |
| Slart | brett_h: I think there are software available if you want to use more than one interface for load balancing or pairing | 13:33 |
| === Tim-S_ is now known as Tim-S | ||
| brett_h | Slart: nope, I just want to know where outgoing traffic will come from on my server, it's not using any of the default gateways in route | 13:33 |
| s`s | newb: to find out the version of the kernel you have, type uname -r in a terminal | 13:33 |
| mindstab | he i have a problem, i cant uninstall gforge because of some error: http://paste.ubuntu.com/27268/ | 13:34 |
| dongsheng | /quit | 13:34 |
| brett_h | Slart: says default gateway is ...113 and when I, say, send a mail, I get it from ...115 | 13:34 |
| Slart | brett_h: you don't have a line starting with "default" in the output from route? | 13:34 |
| brett_h | Slart: I have 3 and it's not using those IPs | 13:34 |
| s`s | newb: if you haven't installed it yet, I'll tell you that you will have 2.6.*.* because that's the kernel that is part of ubuntu 8.04 | 13:34 |
| s`s | newb: you will need to do updates once you install, but they are all automatic and it will prompt you for it | 13:35 |
| Slart | brett_h: hmm.. you can see the bandwidth usage from different interfaces using for example nload ... | 13:35 |
| ubuntu-baby | No my Nvidia Geforce 6150 driver is not installed properly. Is there any way I can go back to the original settings? | 13:35 |
| Slart | brett_h: is it the same if you use ping, ftp, http etc? or you've just checked mail? | 13:35 |
| macrobad | Hey, guys! Could someone remind me where I can find the apt-get history? | 13:36 |
| brett_h | Slart: I'm just confused all around, are you familiar with IP allocation? We have a /29 subnet of 8 IPs, 5 usable... the "Gateway" one they gave us is not one of the usable | 13:36 |
| Slart | brett_h: sounds correct | 13:36 |
| Virca314 | Òóò êòî íèòü ïî ðóññêè ãîâîðèò? | 13:36 |

| macrobad | Virca314: Да. But speak English, please! :) | 13:37 |
| brett_h | Slart: OK, but no machine actually binds that IP, at least none of mine | 13:37 |
| newb | s`s: so the latest download image will not have the latest kernel ie. 19? | 13:37 |
| brett_h | Slart: is that a network device on their end or something? | 13:37 |
| MatthewV | bushwakko, something here about high cpu usage being normal for glxgears... http://wiki.cchtml.com/index.php/Glxgears_is_not_a_Benchmark FWIW i have the same graphics card as you and also get 100% cpu usage... | 13:37 |
| Slart | brett_h: the x.x.x.115 ? | 13:37 |
| brett_h | Slart: it's defined as my gateway, but it isn't one of my machines (no, the 113 - thats the gateway they said) | 13:37 |
| ubuntu-baby | How can I Reinstall My GeForce 6150 Card? | 13:37 |
| Slart | brett_h: the gateway is usually a router or something that the isp puts somewhere between you and the internet | 13:37 |
| bushwakko | MatthewV: dragging windows around also gives high cpu | 13:37 |
| brett_h | Slart: the 115 IS my machine, but it isn't the gateway defined, so I want to figure out why thats where traffic is coming from (the machine has other IPs to use, too) | 13:37 |
| s`s | newb: let me put it this way, the current kernel that I have on Ubuntu 8.04 that's totally updated as of five minutes ago has kernel 2.6.24-19-generic | 13:38 |
| ubuntu-baby | Can I go back to the default setting for Geforce 6150 (Like the way it was when I first Installed Ubuntu) | 13:38 |
| bushwakko | MatthewV: whats your fps in glxgears then? | 13:38 |
| Slart | brett_h: so traffic flows from your machine -> gateway -> internet | 13:38 |
| chattan | Hi guys | 13:38 |
| s`s | newb: whether or not that exact build is part of the install image, I'm not sure. but once you install it and run the updates, that's the version you'll have | 13:38 |
| brett_h | Slart: Yeah, I gotcha, but does that mean I should see traffic as coming FROM the gateway? I assume not, this isn't NAT | 13:38 |
| MatthewV | bushwakko, i dont know, cant remember the switch to show fps ;) | 13:38 |
| s`s | chattan: hello | 13:38 |
| bushwakko | MatthewV: glxgears shows its fps in console | 13:38 |
| chattan | s`s: nice to meet u | 13:38 |
| === vali is now known as adsum | ||
| bushwakko | just type glxgears in a console and you'll see it | 13:38 |
| brett_h | Slart: So my confusion is that this machine has multiple IPs bound, why is 115 the outgoing? where is that defined? | 13:39 |
| s`s | chattan: same to you | 13:39 |
| MatthewV | bushwakko, not by default - it needs a switch, to do so, and I can't remember it ;) | 13:39 |
| fyrestrtr | brett_h: in your routing table. | 13:39 |
| bushwakko | MatthewV: pretty sure i've never used a switch | 13:39 |
| chattan | s`s: Thanks;-) | 13:39 |
| === bjorge is now known as bjorge_ | ||
| brett_h | fyrestrtr: The IP traffic is coming from isn't in "route" | 13:39 |
| bushwakko | just turn it on | 13:39 |
| bushwakko | wait 5 sec | 13:39 |
| bushwakko | it will report it | 13:39 |
| === bjorge_ is now known as bjorge | ||
| Slart | brett_h: if you had asked me that question 5 minutes ago I would have said, "check the output from route, find the default gateway".. but now I'm not so sure any more | 13:39 |
| fyrestrtr | brett_h: you want to know where the traffic is originating from? | 13:39 |
| bushwakko | 9829 frames in 5.0 seconds = 1965.758 FPS | 13:40 |
| ubuntu-baby | Why is nothing shown in System->Administration->Hardware Drivers | 13:40 |
| brett_h | fyrestrtr: the machine has multiple public IPs, I know traffic is coming from one, but I want to find out why, so I can understand it | 13:40 |
| Slart | brett_h: could you pastebin the output from "route" ,"cat /etc/network/interfaces" and "ifconfig" | 13:40 |
| chattan | s`s: I can't login in Ubuntu 8.10 alpha 2 which i use VMware install | 13:40 |
| brett_h | fyrestrtr: I need it to be a well known and defined location and right now it seems random | 13:40 |
| yesudeep | So how does one fix the locales problem? | 13:40 |
| MatthewV | bushwakko, ah you're right, sorry that was the case in the old one - i get around 3300 fps, with that vid card, athlon X2 3800+ and 1GB ram | 13:40 |
| ubuntu-baby | How Can i Disable the Restricted Driver -- for Nvidia Geforce 6150 | 13:40 |
| fyrestrtr | brett_h: "why" is because there is something on your machine listening on a port to which the remote IP is connecting. | 13:40 |
| brett_h | Slart: Yeah | 13:40 |
| bazhang | chattan, ibex discussion in #ubuntu+1 | 13:41 |
| brett_h | fyrestrtr: huh? I'm talking about the other way around | 13:41 |
| bushwakko | MatthewV: seems wrong to me though | 13:41 |
| brett_h | fyrestrtr: no bound IP/port, this is a machine sending traffic | 13:41 |
| chattan | bazhang: Get it , Thanks | 13:41 |
| fyrestrtr | brett_h: you want to know about outbound traffic or inbound traffic? | 13:41 |
| MatthewV | bushwakko, i personally wouldn't worry about it, unless its affecting other things... | 13:41 |
| ubuntu-baby | Anyone! | 13:41 |
| brett_h | fyrestrtr: out | 13:41 |
| ubuntu-baby | Its pretty hard to do anything in 640X480 res | 13:41 |
| fyrestrtr | brett_h: use netstat | 13:42 |
| bushwakko | MatthewV: I started checking this stuff out after getting some poor performance in the kde4 effects, like their impl. of wobbly windows and stuff | 13:42 |
| TheBeast08 | I'm getting a lot of flickering in videos/games with desktop effects enabled and the latest ATI drivers - anyone have any 'definitive' solution? | 13:42 |
| fyrestrtr | TheBeast08: disable desktop effects when gaming. | 13:42 |
| MatthewV | bushwakko, well i'm running gnome and stock compiz - so i can't really help you other than to let you know that it all works fine for me.. | 13:42 |
| Slart | brett_h: I think he wants to be able to configure what interface outgoing traffic uses.. | 13:42 |
| Slart | bah.. sorry.. fyrestrtr look above | 13:43 |
| TheBeast08 | fyrestrtr, that's what I'm doing at the moment - just doesn't seem right to have to disable it for perfectly normal tasks | 13:43 |
| brett_h | Slart: http://pastebin.com/d121ca1e8 | 13:43 |
| fyrestrtr | if you want to configure what is your outbound interface, then you need to set a manual route -- if you want to know what is connecting out or listening in, use netstat, if you want to control it or restrict it, use a firewall. | 13:43 |
| fyrestrtr | TheBeast08: it is the way to get it done. | 13:44 |
| brett_h | Slart: when I send stuff I'm getting it from .115, though | 13:44 |
| decline | Hi. I have added a couple of DNS-ips to dhlclient.conf to be able to connect to the Internet. However IRC and MSN seems to require I set DNS in the programs individually. I set XChat to use the DNS, it worked, but how should I do it with Pidgin? Can't get it working... | 13:44 |
| fyrestrtr | TheBeast08: you can always run your game on another X server listening on another screen with no DE enabled. | 13:44 |
| brett_h | why that instead of .108 or .114? | 13:44 |
| fyrestrtr | brett_h: because that is your default outbound gateway. | 13:44 |
| brett_h | fyrestrtr: please explain where it says that? | 13:44 |
| KOPRajs | hi there, how can I resize image file on Ubuntu installed from Windows? | 13:45 |

| fyrestrtr | brett_h: you have a single interface, bound to mutiple public IPs, correct? You want to now direct traffic OUT from one of the public IPs -- is this the problem you are facing or is it more -- the traffic is going out, I just don't know from what application or user. | 13:46 |

| ubottu | ines: 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? | 13:47 |
| brett_h | fyrestrtr: yeah, one physical interface, multiple bound IPs, none of them are the gateway ... take any random app, browser or whatever - why is it coming from 115 rather than the other bound IPs when 115 is not a gateway | 13:47 |

| fyrestrtr | brett_h: what is 115? a host on your net? | 13:52 |
| brett_h | fyrestrtr: this is all one single machine, 115 is one of the IPs bound to the same interface, eth0 | 13:52 |
| Smegzor | bazhang: they're my kids, when u figure out how to get them to do what I say, please pass the trick on ;) | 13:52 |
| bushwakko | kk | 13:52 |
| bazhang | ubuntu-baby, what does gksudo displayconfig-gtk offer? or nvidia-settings for that matter | 13:52 |
| Slart | brett_h: when you're sending stuff you get it from x.x.x.115, right? according to ifconfig that's the ip of the eth0:1 interface.. | 13:52 |
| brett_h | Slart: yup, yup | 13:52 |
| brett_h | Slart: but is that an answer? I don't understand | 13:53 |
| ubuntu-baby | bazhang - how do i access nvidia-settings ? | 13:53 |
| brett_h | Slart: what is magic about eth0:1? | 13:53 |
| bazhang | Smegzor, then the hack above would be the best it seems | 13:53 |
| brett_h | Slart: why not eth0:0? or eth0? | 13:53 |
| bazhang | ubuntu-baby, need to install it | 13:53 |
| fyrestrtr | brett_h: its the first IP bound to the eth0 device. | 13:53 |
| brett_h | fyrestrtr: first how? there are eth0 and eth0:0 | 13:53 |
| ubuntu-baby | bazhang- My terminal is open..would u mind giving me the command? | 13:53 |
| Slart | brett_h: so it's using eth0:1 to send stuff out.. either it's some random "what gets loaded first at boot" thing .. or it's actually specified somewhere | 13:53 |
| decline | Anyone who knows how to set DNS-IPs in Pidgin? | 13:53 |
| fyrestrtr | brett_h: paste your network card configuration | 13:53 |

| jacobian | I've tried just replacing with UUIDs in fstab but it doesn't work, they revert to the old ones | 13:55 |
| abcZ | ? | 13:55 |
| jacobian | I mean, they revert to the wrong UUIDs on upgrade | 13:55 |
| Slart | brett_h: perhaps there is something you can specify in /etc/network/interfaces.. some kind of keyword to stop ubuntu from generating the automatic route for it | 13:55 |

| jacobian | How does the /dev/dvd link get created in Ubuntu 8.04? | 13:57 |
| SeveredCross | What, may I ask, was the point of installing Linux, if you were going to use Winamp through Wine. | 13:57 |
| bazhang | SeveredCross, he wants what he wants. | 13:58 |
| IdleOne | perhaps he has not found a comparable audio player | 13:58 |
| ubuntu-baby | bazhang- You do not appear to be using the NVIDIA X driver. Please edit your X configuration file (just run `nvidia-xconfig` as root), and restart the X server. | 13:58 |
| fyrestrtr | brett_h: you'll need to use route to specifically alter the routes, as I believe the routing table is calculated from ifconfig settings automatically by the kernel. | 13:58 |

| Slart | ER_A: I think that workgroup thing is handled by that weird ms network name thingy.. wins or whatever it's called | 14:24 |
| babo | theeyealtering, aye. then i do a iwconfig interface mode managed eth1 && iwconfig network essid "Open Network" && dhclient .... | 14:24 |
| ER_A | mind even when i navigate shares via IP addresses I still get "network timed out" when transfering a file | 14:24 |
| babo | theeyealtering, or something similar to above that works. | 14:24 |
| bazhang | ubuntu-baby, sudo apt-get remove packagename | 14:24 |
| Slart | ER_A: I think nmdb is supposed to do that in samba | 14:24 |
| babo | that might be a little out. I'm on windows now ... | 14:24 |

| Slart | ER_A: that is more strange than the first thing.. smb is slow and clunky.. but it usually works | 14:25 |
| vrijmetse | this is insane. I can't even run the "try ubuntu" from the cd. It stucks at "Running local boot scripts /etc/rc.local". What to do ? | 14:25 |
| ER_A | nmdb? | 14:25 |

| ER_A | yeh i know... and the transfer rates are really erratic anything from 50kb/s to 2mb/s | 14:25 |
| ubuntu-baby | bazhang: OK I got synaptic to work. Its Downloading .... So once its done..Do I need to run it? Or will it run and setup automatically? | 14:26 |

| ER_A | i think it must be a setting issue as my ubuntu box is dual boot and there shares are fine on that | 14:27 |
| bazhang | ubuntu-baby, then run the nvidia-xconfig (with sudo) and finally nvidia-settings (ditto) | 14:27 |
| ER_A | slart... so what kind of setup do you have? | 14:27 |
| ER_A | im interested to know how you can use SAMBA on a MS box | 14:27 |
| Slart | ER_A: I just use regular dns.. one xubuntu server running dhcp/dns/samba.. two ubuntu clients and one vista laptop | 14:28 |
| Slart | ER_A: samba is the linux version of ms filesharing.. it's already built in if you're running xp | 14:28 |
| ER_A | ahhh i understand... still getting to grips with linux networking :P | 14:29 |

| trakinas | ops | 14:36 |
| bazhang | Viper550, but ubuntu's xorg is quite a bit different | 14:36 |
| weird-donkey | so i found myself something to read such files, | 14:36 |
| weird-donkey | ill look into that | 14:36 |

| trakinas | !mplayer | weird-donkey | 14:36 |

| Shujah_ | vrijmetse, check md5 of cd from windows | 14:36 |

| weird-donkey | yeah | 14:36 |
| sdadasdasd | ive got no sound since i installed and nothing muted or owt so whats going on????? | 14:36 |

| trakinas | Blais1: press tab to go to capture | 14:55 |
| Slart | [globa|fin]: I have no problems with hardy.. but sure.. I've read about other people having problems.. but people were having problems with 7.10 too | 14:55 |
| un1t | hi, i have two Displays running on Ubuntu but i want to deactivate the second... what i have to do? | 14:55 |
| Blais1 | trakinas, there is no aux, is this because I'm using Pulse Audio? | 14:55 |
| charlie-jayne | thanks rambo3 :) | 14:55 |
| muddler | globalfin: The audio setup (called pulseaudio) can cause problems in 8.04 but I've not had trouble with it. That's the only thing I can think of | 14:55 |
| ER_A | globa|fin: ubuntu support will run out for 7.10 at somepoint but i can't rember when exactly | 14:55 |
| Gnea | !vmware | charlie-jayne | 14:55 |
| ubottu | charlie-jayne: VMWare Player is in Ubuntu's !Multiverse repository (package "vmware-player", only for Feisty and Edgy), and http://www.easyvmx.com/easyvmx.shtml can create VMs for it. Instructions can be found at https://help.ubuntu.com/community/VMware - See also !virtualizers | 14:55 |
| un1t | ubuntu configured all display automatically | 14:55 |
| Blais1 | trakinas, on capture I have one volume slider, it's set to 100 | 14:55 |
| un1t | *s | 14:56 |
| trakinas | Blais1: dont know... thought it would be the same | 14:56 |
| Blais1 | ok | 14:56 |
| ER_A | hardy is more secure than 7.10 is in my opinion | 14:56 |
| trakinas | Blais1: anyway, give a try to google. i have to leave the chat for awhile. | 14:57 |
| trakinas | cheers | 14:57 |
| ER_A | more GUIs are locked and need unlocking eg: network manager wasn't locked in gutsy | 14:57 |

| [globa|fin] | Slart, I too have personally had no problems with hardy, however this other guy where I work has gotten totally annoyed with Google Toolbar not working and crashing everything. Then he read that hardy is still unstable, etc. on the Internet - so he wants to switch. But I have really had no problems - and I dont want to switch in the middle of my projects, so I was wondering of there were some reasons not to switch... | 14:58 |
| Blade_Wizard_Fal | bazhang: any ideas? | 14:58 |
| ER_A | firefox was in beta version when hardy was rekleased and alot of users got upset with it but i havnt had a problem | 14:58 |

| t0th_- | how i install flash firefox 3 ubuntu? | 14:59 |
| Blade_Wizard_Fal | bazhang: ok | 14:59 |
| Slart | [globa|fin]: I would still stick with hardy.. it's a LTS version.. fixes will be coming in.. unless this guy has some better reasons for switching than "I heard on the internet that it was unstable" | 14:59 |
| bazhang | http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=571188 Blade_Wizard_Fal | 14:59 |
| ER_A | indeed hardy is the way forward | 14:59 |

| ER_A | ubuntu-baby: what card is it? | 15:02 |
| [globa|fin] | Slart, I want to stick with it. The other guy is really annoyed and has "read" about some issues, slow, unstable, etc. He has some weight over what goes on in the systems here, so whatever he decided happens. I told him it was an LTS version - so he grilled me about being an "experimental rabbit". He also claims his system has been running slow. What I would really need is some good strong reason not to switch other than: "its new" and "im in | 15:02 |
| [globa|fin] | the middle of stuff".. | 15:02 |

| candive | bazhang, You are Good, thank you very much | 15:04 |

| bazhang | candive, nice going | 15:04 |

| Slart | [globa|fin]: sigh.. well.. sounds like he's made up his mind.. tell him flash doesn't work with 7.10.. if he likes google toolbar perhaps that will turn him around.. or a swift kick to the middle region =) | 15:05 |
| candive | bazhang, I love command! :) thanks again. Chow. | 15:05 |
| Blade_Wizard_Fal | bazhang: the first command that tells me to do :sudo ifconfig <interface> down, returns a bash error, saying that no such file or directory exists... | 15:06 |

| m1r | hello | 15:21 |
| Slart | decline: nah.. that's probably something else | 15:21 |
| muddler | laughtear: I haven't looked through this guide but it might take you through step-by-step: http://apcmag.com/how_to_dual_boot_linux_and_windows_xp_linux_installed_first.htm | 15:21 |
| unop | laughtear, select an unused partition to install windows on and it should be ok -- if you try and install windows on a linux partition, it will attempt to format it | 15:22 |
| Shujah_ | andare, open nvidia setting from menu > system > admin > nvidia | 15:22 |
| Slart | decline: you could try pinging that server address? | 15:22 |
| andare | it's not there | 15:22 |
| laughtear | muddler, thanks a lot; unop: windows does not accept the hdd i choose for it, and insist on doing something to the hdd which grub is on. | 15:23 |
| Slart | decline: or not.. I don't get a ping response.. stupid paranoid network admins | 15:23 |
| muddler | laughtear: windows is stubborn, it may well overwrite grub requiring you to rewrite grub to your mbr | 15:23 |
| decline | Slart, ah hehe, not me either | 15:23 |
| andare | nvidia dosen't show up under menu > system > admin > nvidia | 15:23 |

| Brandon__ | hmm. I can ping google.com, but when I type apt-get update it says it failed to fetch a bunch of stuff. Anyone ever see this? I can't do apt-get install php5 and stuff. It says it can't find the package. 8.04 | 15:23 |
| muddler | laughtear: you could just let windows do it's stuff and then sort the mbr with a linux live cd afterwards | 15:24 |
| jimmy51vinsky | ikonia, switching to jimmy51 | 15:24 |
| unop | laughtear, do you know what exactly the message says? | 15:24 |
| laughtear | muddler: i know, it even may wipe the whoe hdd | 15:24 |
| laughtear | unop: which message? | 15:24 |
| Slart | decline: you can try doing a telnet messenger.hotmail.com 1863 | 15:24 |
| unop | laughtear, the message windows install is giving you | 15:24 |
| andare | all that did was bring up Run Application | 15:24 |
| decline | Slart, like that? "telnet messenger.hotmail.com 1863"? Fails... | 15:24 |
| Shujah_ | andare, in run application enter this command nvidia-settings then enter | 15:25 |

| Slart | decline: ah.. that works for me | 15:25 |
| muddler | laughtear: Page 4 of that guide suggests that it will mark your linux partition as inactive, that's all, but be careful that it does install to a different partition | 15:25 |
| andare | ok i'll give that a show | 15:25 |
| Slart | decline: ok.. so we have something to work with | 15:25 |
| Slart | decline: what ip number does messenger.hotmail.com resolve to? | 15:25 |
| Slart | decline: 65.54.239.140 ? | 15:25 |

However when i use Ubuntu Live CD ...Or when I first installed Ubuntu on my system....The res and graphics was a lot better. Now How do I go back to that state? | 15:26 |
| laughtear | unop: well, as i remembered (here i am as windows, telling you): i will install windows, but i must do something to the hdd above (linux) to make myself able to start, so go back the previous step, choose one of that hdd's partition (which linux is on it) and format it for xp, or create another partition on it... | 15:26 |
| decline | Slart, Slart, 65.54.239.80 | 15:26 |
| decline | -Slart ;) | 15:26 |
| Shujah_ | andare, go to display | 15:26 |
| Slart | decline: ah.. so we're not getting the same ip.. perhaps "your" server is termporarily down | 15:26 |
| Slart | decline: try using my ip-number instead of messenger.hotmail.com | 15:27 |
| Brandon__ | How do I make it so I can ssh ubuntu? I installed the ssh-client but it's refusing port 22. Is this normal? | 15:27 |

| Shujah_ | *xserver display | 15:28 |
| Slart | decline: any other network weirdness going on? | 15:28 |
| muddler | laughtear: might it be that windows requires a master rather than slave to boot from or something peculiar like that, and your linux drive is the only one of such? | 15:29 |
| decline | Slart, maybe. Can you access www.diskusjon.no ? I can't.... | 15:29 |
| laughtear | muddler: probably my linux drive is the master... | 15:29 |
| Slart | decline: works fine here | 15:29 |
| muddler | laughtear: what I'm getting at is that switching jumpers on the hard drives may help you install to the other drive, and you can always change them back | 15:29 |
| ubuntu-baby | ? | 15:29 |
| decline | Slart, yeah it should be working... | 15:29 |
| andare | there is no nvidia display there is only enable tooltips , display status bar , slider text entries , include x display names in the config file , show really quit dialog | 15:29 |
| Slart | decline: so you've got a general networking problem.. but still we're talking on IRC | 15:30 |

| decline | Slart, + most other www sites work | 15:30 |
| Brandon__ | unop, isi t bad if it says it can't find the package? It says. :Package openssh-server is not available, but is referred to by another package. This may mean that the package is missing, has been obsoleted, or is only available from another source" | 15:30 |
| Slart | decline: your ISP hasn't been paying its bills? =) | 15:30 |

| laughtear | muddler: can i use the ultimate boot disk to swap it from there? | 15:30 |
| Slart | !alternate | sunru | 15:30 |
| ubottu | sunru: The Alternate CD is a classical text-mode install CD. It supports a wider range of hardware than the !LiveCD, and can also be used as an upgrade CD. Look for the alternate checkbox on the Ubuntu download page - See also !minimal - Torrent at http://releases.ubuntu.com/8.04/ubuntu-8.04-alternate-i386.iso.torrent | 15:30 |
| sunru | oh | 15:30 |

| ZeroIdent | Need help-aptitude began to erase important system elemts and I stopped it (Ecited Terminal) but am unsure of how to fix | 15:30 |

| Sivam | hi all | 15:42 |
| rambo3 | ubuntu-baby, i don't know was it nvidia-glx | 15:42 |

| sdakak | lesshaste Turn off the backports in synaptic and say reload, upgrade all? | 15:43 |
| lesshaste_ | Gnea, how do you do that? | 15:43 |
| lesshaste_ | Gnea, I'd like to do it for all packages | 15:43 |
| Gnea | lesshaste_: try sdakak's suggestion | 15:43 |
| sdakak | Can anyone tell me how to have a completely panel-less desktop? | 15:43 |
| jimmy51 | ikonia, i think the tftproot is /var/lib/tftpboot/ | 15:43 |
| ikonia | jimmy51: go for it | 15:43 |
| Gnea | lesshaste_: if not, you may need to uninstall the packages by hand, then reinstall them. | 15:43 |
| lesshaste_ | sdakak, it says nothing to upgrade | 15:43 |
| ohyouknow1987 | i cant get to medibuntu it says server not found | 15:44 |

| lesshaste_ | ikonia, I am trying to restabilise my setup by getting rid of any backports | 15:45 |
| Gnea | ohyouknow1987: i already gave you a link to help you out. | 15:45 |
| ikonia | lesshaste_: ok | 15:45 |
| lesshaste_ | ikonia, do you know how to list all the installed backport packages for example? | 15:45 |
| ikonia | lesshaste_: one moment, I don't think you can do it by repo | 15:46 |
| lesshaste_ | ikonia, ok | 15:46 |
| sdakak | ikonia: Hey. He wants downgrade his backports | 15:46 |
| jimmy51 | ikonia, ah, i see. the 775 is the permission mode and the -R makes it recursive | 15:46 |
| decline | Slart, yea hehe this is mysterious. First of all, how could it just suddenly start demanding the DNS ip's to work, and why is everything else than MSN working when I got the DNS ip's :| | 15:46 |
| mrtimdog | Hi, any reason synaptic marks for update packages which have been pinned to a particular version? | 15:46 |
| ikonia | lesshaste_: I see | 15:46 |
| ikonia | jimmy51: you got it | 15:46 |
| Gnea | lesshaste_: this is a bit of a longshot, but: dpkg -l | grep ^ii | grep bpo you might get mixed results. | 15:46 |
| ikonia | jimmy51: you want it to be able to see the images too, not just the dir, hence the -R | 15:46 |
| Slart | decline: I have no idea.. it's very weird | 15:46 |
| Joeseph | I've recently wiped my old computer and gave it away, and the other hard drive on it I did not wipe had ubuntu on it. If I just put the hard drive into my new computer, would it work? | 15:47 |
| Shujah_ | tried amsn? | 15:47 |
| lesshaste_ | Gnea, hard to tell if that worked or not | 15:47 |
| lesshaste_ | ikonia, any help much appreciated | 15:47 |
| Shujah_ | Joeseph, you might have to edit grub | 15:47 |
| Gnea | lesshaste_: that just tives you a list. try pastebining it | 15:47 |
| Gnea | !pastebin | lesshaste_ | 15:47 |

| Joeseph | Shujah_: but It might work? is the only way to try? | 15:48 |
| lesshaste_ | Gnea, http://paste.ubuntu.com/27293/ | 15:48 |
| Dante123 | okay Slart. I forgot it was flash based | 15:48 |
| lesshaste_ | ikonia, ok so any tips on how to remove all backports? | 15:48 |
| ikonia | lesshaste_: I'm wondering if you delselect proposed which should update apt-cache policy, and do an apt-get update will it prompt you for the downgrade | 15:48 |
| ikonia | lesshaste_: s/proposed/backports | 15:49 |
| lesshaste_ | ikonia, it didn't sadly | 15:49 |
| ross | i'm having some problems installing virtual box | 15:49 |
| Shujah_ | Joeseph, if the grub address fro hd doesnt change e.g. it was hd0 and its hd0 now then it'll boot - so you might try to boot you'll know | 15:49 |
| ikonia | lesshaste_: give me a few minutes, | 15:49 |
| lesshaste_ | ikonia, unless there just weren't any.. but I suspect it only goes up that way | 15:49 |
| lesshaste_ | ikonia, ok | 15:49 |

| lesshaste_ | Gnea, ok | 15:50 |
| lesshaste_ | thanks anyway | 15:50 |
| Gnea | ross: it told you what to do | 15:50 |
| sdakak | ross: Are you using the os version? Why not head over to their site and grab the binary package. It builds the kernel module automatically and provides usb support. | 15:50 |
| Gnea | lesshaste_: good luck | 15:50 |
| lesshaste_ | basically my sound has died so how about just reinstalling everything sound related | 15:50 |
| Jack_Sparrow | ross vbox has a channel.. but did you install it from our repos or go and try to get the latest and do it yourself | 15:50 |
| lesshaste_ | is that possible? | 15:50 |
| lesshaste_ | how do you reinstall packages? | 15:50 |
| sdakak | ross: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/VirtualBox | 15:50 |
| Joeseph | Shujah_: Alrighty, then I'll give it a try. but, while I'm here.... I'd like to wipe my ubuntu install also and install UbuntuStudio. since I do not have a DVD player in my computer, I can't install it that way. Could I wipe and reinstall from the command line? | 15:50 |
| ross | errr | 15:51 |
| ikonia | lesshaste_: do you have synaptic ? | 15:51 |
| lesshaste_ | ikonia, yes | 15:51 |
| lesshaste_ | ikonia, but I mostly use the command line | 15:51 |
| ross | i installed it from the site | 15:51 |
| jimmy51 | ikonia: ok, my permissions are read/write for root, but read only for all else. i still can't get/put files. either i don't have the tftproot set to the correct folder, or something else is going on. | 15:51 |

| ross | what to do what to do | 15:52 |

| Gnea | .......Please install the virtualbox-ose-modules package for your kernel, e.g. virtualbox-ose-modules-generic......... | 15:54 |
| Shujah_ | Joeseph, well yeah you can mount the dvd by acetonel (on still installed ubuntu) but I'm not sure if it'll work | 15:54 |
| jimmy51 | ikonia, permissions look correct (when viewed with thunar) but i still can't GET/PUT | 15:54 |
| bartmon | Jack_Sparrow, ikonia: excellent, thanks! | 15:54 |
| Jack_Sparrow | np | 15:54 |
| Joeseph | Shujah_: It might just be easier to get a dvd player.... | 15:55 |
| === sbazemore is now known as sbazemore_ | ||
| ikonia | jimmy51: what does your tftp config show ? | 15:55 |
| Gnea | ross: cat /proc/version will tell you what kernel you're using | 15:55 |
| Shujah_ | Joeseph, it is, and much less likely to backfire | 15:55 |
| jimmy51 | ikonia, that's in /etc/inetd.conf, right? | 15:55 |
| ikonia | jimmy51: don't know, is that where you set it up? | 15:55 |
| ross | gnea: ok, i'm using the 18-generic vesion | 15:55 |
| ikonia | jimmy51: hang on, I'll get it myself | 15:55 |
| Shujah_ | Joeseph, though you might wanna check the md5 before going through all the hassle | 15:55 |
| Joeseph | Shujah_: alright, I'll probably try that... that way I don't even have to boot it. | 15:55 |
| Gnea | ross: then download the 18-generic package | 15:56 |
| Blade_Wizard_Fal | anyone? | 15:56 |
| lesshaste_ | ikonia, thanks.. I feel we are very close... you didn't quite mean apt-show-versions -i; apt-show-versions -b | grep hardy-backports | 15:56 |
| lesshaste_ | did you? | 15:56 |
| Joeseph | Shujah_: what is the md5... wait, I'll llook it up. | 15:56 |
| ross | gnea: only the 18-generic package? | 15:56 |
| jimmy51 | ikonia: in my inetd.conf i have this: tftp dgram udp wait root /usr/sbin/in.tftpd /usr/sbin/in.tftpd -s /var/lib/tftpboot | 15:56 |
| lesshaste_ | ikonia, that lists things like autoconf/hardy uptodate 2.61-4 | 15:56 |
| ikonia | lesshaste_: still working it thorugh | 15:56 |
| ikonia | jimmy51: ok | 15:56 |
| m-c | Is there a command line interface to burning a cdrom? Is it as simple as dd? | 15:56 |
| Gnea | ross: whatever works | 15:57 |
| Shujah_ | Joeseph, md5 is a dvd/cd check to see if the data was corrupted during download - | 15:57 |
| ikonia | jimmy51: what version of ubuntu are you using ? | 15:57 |
| lesshaste_ | ok | 15:57 |
| Gnea | m-c: yes. no. | 15:57 |
| jimmy51 | ikonia: 8.04 | 15:57 |
| Joeseph | Shujah_: oh.... Wiki told me it was a cryptographic algorithm that is now considered unsafe.... hahaha | 15:58 |
| ikonia | jimmy51: I've just pulled down tftpd and it setup the tftp root as /srv/tftp | 15:58 |
| Shujah_ | md5 is unsafe :s | 15:58 |
| Gnea | hangnails are unsafe | 15:58 |
| m-c | Gnea: Ah. So, what program provides the command line interface to burn a cdrom? | 15:58 |
| mic1394 | is there an audio/video player that plays all formats and codecs in ubuntu such as vlc in windows? | 15:58 |
| jimmy51 | ikonia, ok, maybe my config is bad. i'll change the root to /srv/tftp | 15:58 |
| bartmon | I have another question. Why is my new IDE device located at /dev/sdX and not /dev/hdX as the other IDE devices i have? | 15:58 |
| Joeseph | mic1394: you mean vlc for ubuntu? | 15:59 |
| Gnea | m-c: cdrecord | 15:59 |
| s`s | mic1394: vlc can be installed in windows, linux, AND mac | 15:59 |
| Gnea | mic1394: vlc | 15:59 |
| ikonia | jimmy51 changing it won't do anything I'm more concerned why your config is different than mine out of the box | 15:59 |
| m-c | Gnea Thank you | 15:59 |
| ross | gnea: it's installing | 15:59 |
| mic1394 | is there anything better than vlc ? or do u guys suggest anthing else? | 15:59 |
| jimmy51 | ikonia, i'm folliwng this procedure: http://www.howtoforge.com/ubuntu_pxe_install_server | 15:59 |
| Shujah_ | Joeseph, wiki md5 sum :P | 16:00 |
| Gnea | mic1394: mplayer is nice, but vlc tends to top everything these days | 16:00 |
| mic1394 | hmm | 16:00 |
| mic1394 | thanks everyone | 16:00 |
| ikonia | jimmy51: that is for version 6.10 | 16:00 |
| ikonia | jimmy51: thats over 18 months old | 16:00 |
| m-c | Gnea Is the cdrecord application part of the ubuntu repositories? | 16:00 |
| jimmy51 | ikonia: it's for edgy, so i've changed the package to get the hardy packages | 16:00 |
| ikonia | jimmy51: yes, but more than package names change | 16:01 |
| ikonia | jimmy51: hardy lays things out very differently | 16:01 |
| Gnea | m-c: yes | 16:01 |
| ikonia | jimmy51: for example hardy uses tcpd wrappers, edgy did not | 16:01 |
| ikonia | jimmy51: you can't mix and match guides like that | 16:01 |
| m-c | Gnea Just found it, nevermind | 16:01 |
| Joeseph | Shujah_: that makes sense... so that's how it works... interesting. | 16:01 |

| DeFirence | FFS! my pidgin just screwed up again and its using all my ram and most cpu and its uninterruptable | 16:08 |
| ikonia | jimmy51: seems over kill, but if that makes you feel more comforable | 16:08 |
| ikonia | DeFirence: we know what FFS means, please don't use it any more | 16:08 |
| iiinc | Hello. Is there a way to install all of the debug symbol packages for my installed apps? I've added the ddebs repository, I'm just tired of hunting for -dbgsym packages. | 16:09 |
| jimmy51 | ikonia: probably overkill, but it doens't take too long. thanks for helping thus far | 16:09 |
| DeFirence | err, its eating my pc from the inside | 16:09 |
| ikonia | jimmy51: no problem | 16:09 |
| DeFirence | and i cant do anything | 16:09 |
| DeFirence | except a cold reboot | 16:09 |
| codyzapp | might try recompiling pidgin then. | 16:09 |
| ikonia | why ? | 16:10 |
| ikonia | codyzapp: why would recopiling pidgin change that ? | 16:10 |
| ikonia | recompiling | 16:10 |
| Blade_Wizard_Fal | s's: didn't work...still the same error... | 16:10 |
| bartmon | Hmmm, I'm experiencing poor copying performance (<4MB/s) between two HDDs with UDMA6 enabled. Any ideas? | 16:10 |
| codyzapp | might be a bug in your pidgin. or a missing componet or file etc. | 16:11 |
| DeFirence | this is the second time this has happened | 16:11 |
| ikonia | codyzapp: it's precompiled by ubuntu - how could it have missing file or component | 16:11 |
| codyzapp | you accidently delete it? or something goes screwy. | 16:11 |
| d0t | firefox always freezes... :/ | 16:12 |
| ikonia | codyzapp: come on - so surly a re-install of pidgin would be more realistic than a recompile | 16:12 |
| lesshaste_ | how can I switch to some non alsa sound system to see if that will help? | 16:12 |
| shader42 | Starnestommy: ty | 16:12 |
| DG19075 | I'd do a re-install of pidgin from the terminal and go from there | 16:13 |

| codyzapp | ikonia, you can see if any errors show up. | 16:13 |
| ikonia | DG19075: but why suggest from the terminal | 16:14 |
| ikonia | codyzapp: synaptic will show the same errors | 16:14 |
| Spockz | Hello, I just tried apt-get update and he can't find the edgy-security sources. | 16:14 |

| andare | ubuntu tweak is a program that i was try'n to use and i don't want it no more | 16:15 |
| Starnestommy | Spockz: I think edgy isn't supported anymore | 16:15 |
| ikonia | andare: there is no package for it as I recall, you have to remove it by hand | 16:15 |
| andare | cuz i am try'n to find out how to tweak the performance | 16:15 |
| Spockz | Starnestommy: aha, is there a way I can upgrade? Or should I do a new install? | 16:16 |
| andare | and how would i remove it from hand? | 16:16 |
| Starnestommy | Spockz: I'm not sure | 16:16 |

| ikonia | andare: an OS is as secure as the user who maintains it, ubuntu and any linux distro can be very unsecure | 16:18 |
| ikonia | !it | gigiark | 16:19 |
| ubottu | gigiark: Vai su #ubuntu-it se vuoi parlare in italiano, in questo canale usiamo solo l'inglese. Grazie! | 16:19 |
| andare | how? | 16:19 |
| nixnoob | ikonia: its more secure than running windows as admin at all times no matter how you look at it :) | 16:19 |
| Blade_Wizard_Fal | legend2440: tried it, didnt work...still says it isnt installed... | 16:19 |
| ikonia | nixnoob: no it's not, please don't make missleadig comments | 16:19 |
| andare | i have heard for alot of ppl that are computer geek's that linux is more secure than windows so how can linux NOT be secure? | 16:19 |
| nixnoob | ikonia: whatever you say. | 16:20 |
| ikonia | andare: this is not the channel to discuss it, join #ubuntu-offtopic for general discussion, and you can also read up on some generic white papers on security to explain the differences | 16:20 |
| kaolaBuntuPH | what is a nice backup tool for ubuntu that can restore your software in case of mulfunction | 16:20 |
| kaolaBuntuPH | ?? | 16:20 |
| kaolaBuntuPH | help plz | 16:20 |
| nixnoob | ikonia: just compare the number of viruses for each OS, i am right. | 16:20 |
| kaolaBuntuPH | i had 2 re4mt and update things when my system is down.. | 16:20 |

| andare | ok so what kind of channel is this then if i may ask? | 16:21 |
| ikonia | nixnoob: we are not discussing virus's - we where discussing security, secrutiy does not mean virus | 16:21 |
| kaolaBuntuPH | so what software would you recommend on ubuntu | 16:21 |
| ikonia | andare: an ubuntu OS support channel | 16:21 |
| puwei | dose ubuntu hase the gohst ,so i can ease recove my OS | 16:21 |
| andare | show's on how much i know about linux | 16:21 |

| kaolaBuntuPH | no help..huhuhu | 16:22 |
| nic | hello | 16:22 |
| kaolaBuntuPH | hello | 16:22 |
| andare | on one last ? then if u want me to let u alone then i will | 16:22 |
| ikonia | kaolaBuntuPH: please see the messages I sent to Kopfgeldjaeger:, they where meant for you | 16:22 |
| nic | how can i change the port in xchat from a irc server? o.O | 16:22 |
| andare | how can i make the performace look alot better use'n ubuntu? | 16:23 |
| ikonia | Kopfgeldjaeger: sorry, those messages where not meant for you | 16:23 |
| ikonia | andare: that depends on the reason it's slow, you need to diagnose why it's slow | 16:23 |
| kaolaBuntuPH | ok but i want a backup tool that can restore my installed software also | 16:23 |
| dolley | ok | 16:23 |
| kaolaBuntuPH | is there? | 16:23 |
| ikonia | kaolaBuntuPH: then you need some sort of generic whole system image tool | 16:23 |
| kaolaBuntuPH | how about aptoncd? | 16:23 |
| andare | i got my computer for about $100 and it was made for windows 2000 | 16:23 |
| trooper | What about PING | 16:24 |
| kaolaBuntuPH | b | 16:24 |
| trooper | http://ping.windowsdream.com/ | 16:24 |
| trooper | dont let windowsdream confure you | 16:24 |
| unop | kaolaBuntuPH, aptoncd is for the purposes of installing ubuntu -- not really backing up and restoring | 16:24 |
| [globa|fin] | Hey. I want to install xfce. Currently I have Ubuntu 8.04 server install. I installed a GUI by typing [sudo aptitude install ubuntu-desktop] which installed the latest GNOME. To install Xfce, can I just do [sudo aptitude remove ubuntu-desktop] and then type in [sudo aptitude install xfce]? To installed Xfce? | 16:24 |
| kaolaBuntuPH | but you can restore softwares using it right? | 16:24 |
| ikonia | kaolaBuntuPH: no | 16:25 |
| ikonia | kaolaBuntuPH: it makes a local repo, nothing more | 16:25 |
| andare | so then i guess my computer is really slow cuz i don't have the $$$ to upgrade so that's why i'm try'n to learn how to tweak and overclock if it's possible for my computer to even handle it | 16:25 |
| unop | kaolaBuntuPH, not necessarily -- it's quite possible that you upgraded packages from the online repositories and in the process pulled in other dependencies too | 16:25 |
| ikonia | andare: overclocking is a bad idea | 16:25 |
| kaolaBuntuPH | so no software installed will be reinstalled then? | 16:25 |
| ikonia | andare: and is not something that is a topic in this channel | 16:25 |
| j800r | yo, i need repository help. i'm having problems with the medibuntu repository when i use update manager | 16:25 |
| andare | then what about tweaking? | 16:25 |
| nickrud | [globa|fin] there's more to removing gnome, but you can install sudo apt-get install xubuntu-desktop to run xfce. Just choose it under options->sessions on the login screen | 16:25 |
| andare | ok srry | 16:25 |
| ikonia | andare: how much ram do you have ? | 16:25 |
| kaolaBuntuPH | can u gve me a specific name for the image copy thing for ubuntu? | 16:25 |
| nickrud | [globa|fin] to be clear, you don't have to remove gnome to install xfce. | 16:26 |
| kaolaBuntuPH | can sbackup do it also? | 16:26 |
| andare | sd 765 mb | 16:26 |
| ikonia | kaolaBuntuPH: you have been given a few, | 16:26 |

| andare | i don't know my cpu | 16:26 |

| lil-romeo | were does it stands:P | 16:34 |
| unop | andare, ubuntu | 16:34 |

| j800r | i'd say a linux newbie dist would be kubuntu | 16:35 |
| dolley | i have an laptop | 16:35 |
| unop | kaolaBuntuPH, if you recommend people use sudo with X apps like that, they will develop the habit, and it's not a good habit to develop -- see !worksforme | 16:36 |
| j800r | the kde desktop is more familiar to windows users | 16:36 |
| dolley | this S3G-Linux-x86-2.0.16 | 16:36 |
| kaolaBuntuPH | sHOCkwAV1: just google your wireless card, forums may help you bout it | 16:36 |
| nickrud | kaolaBuntuPH it's not an opinion, there's very good reasons. Not least, the possibility of writing config's in your home directory owned by root | 16:36 |
| andare | so how would i be able to use ubuntu aka linux without be'n a pain in someone's back side? | 16:36 |

| j800r | ubuntu has most stuff there already | 16:37 |
| db92 | dolley, what you are telling me seems irrelevant :P try an lspci in terminal and tell me where it says ati or nvidia | 16:37 |
| lil-romeo | well mate i cant find gconf-editor, apps, nautilus | 16:37 |
| nickrud | andare we're accustomed to pains in the backside here :) Usually they stop being a pain and become an asset | 16:37 |
| lil-romeo | gconf editor | 16:37 |

| albech | how come firefox 3 doesnt appear in the Synaptic Package Manager? | 17:13 |
| unop | !firefox3 | 17:14 |
| ubottu | Firefox 3 Final is currently in the Hardy package repositories. For best results, do not install via archives downloaded from mozilla.com. | 17:14 |
| unop | albech, maybe you need to retrieve the updated package lists from the repos. sudo apt-get update | 17:14 |
| Flannel | albech: What version of Ubuntu are you using? | 17:15 |
| albech | im still running 7.10 | 17:15 |

| redduck676 | kafitz: what kind of mess? | 18:40 |
| wols_ | netcatc: use a live CD and check what's still there of the partition | 18:40 |
| kafitz | i installed it from source, ran into so difficulties and now need help uninstalling it | 18:40 |
| kafitz | so i can do it from apt-get | 18:40 |
| carib909 | seveas, what should i repeat? | 18:40 |
| kafitz | ive tried removing everything | 18:40 |
| redduck676 | kafitz: if you still have a source do ''make uninstall'' | 18:40 |
| Seveas | carib909, you should *stop* repeating your question every minute | 18:40 |
| wols_ | kafitz: ask who gave you the source how to unisntall. or read the docs. there is no standard way of uninstalling self compiled source. that's a big reason we discourage it | 18:40 |
| Shujah-1 | sree, check this out > http://www.tuxfiles.org/linuxhelp/fstab.html -- might help | 18:40 |
| netcatc | wols_: already am witch Live Cd at moment | 18:40 |
| redduck676 | kafitz: and no, apt-get won't help you removing stuff you compiled by hand | 18:40 |
| kafitz | make uninstall only worked for liltorrent | 18:40 |
| netcatc | wols_: /dev/sda3 8111 18159 80718592+ 83 Linux | 18:40 |
| d0t | wols_: cfdisk /dev/sdb works fine :) thanks. | 18:41 |
| wols_ | netcatc: so it's ther | 18:41 |
| kafitz | theres a make clean for rtorrent and make distclean | 18:41 |
| sree | Shujah: OK | 18:41 |
| carib909 | If you read the two questions you will see that one said can the oher corrected it to can and added the pastebin link. | 18:41 |
| wols_ | netcatc: erm. look at its CONTENTS | 18:41 |
| netcatc | wols_: | 18:41 |
| netcatc | unable to mount as the type disappeared | 18:41 |
| Reformer81 | I used Compiz with the AWN dock. However, there are times when I need to turn off Compiz (switching to metacity) and I lose the dock. So my question is this: How can I create a panel in Gnome that disappears while Compiz & AWN are running, but comes back when I disable Compiz? | 18:41 |
| carib909 | can´t | 18:41 |
| redduck676 | kafitz: you can look at the files in the install target and remove them by hand. | 18:41 |
| wols_ | netcatc: file -s the partition | 18:41 |
| redduck676 | (next time use aptitude to install it in the first place) | 18:41 |
| baconnessie | kafitz: you can look at the files in the install target and remove them by hand. | 18:41 |
| d0t | wols_: do i need to delete the partition and then resize it ? | 18:42 |
| baconnessie | (next time use aptitude to install it in the files in the first place) | 18:42 |
| kafitz | ok, i will try that then | 18:42 |
| netcatc | wols_: data | 18:42 |
| wols_ | redduck676: that would mean he understands waht a makefile means | 18:42 |
| kafitz | yeah, i will | 18:42 |
| wols_ | d0t: why? | 18:42 |
| netcatc | wols_: dev/sda3: data | 18:42 |
| wols_ | netcatc: seems you hosed your sda3 | 18:42 |
| baconnessie | netcatc: file -s | 18:42 |
| d0t | wols_: so how can i resize it ? | 18:42 |
| Shujah-1 | Reformer81, as far as I know only way to do that would be to increase the unhide time of bottom panel 10 times and use awn on top of it | 18:43 |
| wols_ | d0t: you can etierh delte it and recreate it at the new size or use gparted | 18:43 |
| baconnessie | kafitz: you can look at the files in the install target and remove them by hand. | 18:43 |
| Reformer81 | Shujah-1: Hmm... I guess that is doable. | 18:43 |
| baconnessie | yeah, i will try that would be to increase the new size or use awn on top of it | 18:43 |
| Reformer81 | Thank you | 18:43 |
| netcatc | baconnessie: /dev/sda3 data | 18:43 |
| kafitz | sorry for being naive, but how do i find the install target? | 18:44 |
| baconnessie | wols_: so how can i guess that is doable. | 18:44 |
| sree | Shujah: I Think there is no problem with my fstab. It is something else | 18:44 |
| baconnessie | i guess that is doable. | 18:44 |
| netcatc | baconnessie: must mount the partition | 18:44 |

| Malix | hi all. How do you get rid of firefox3.0 beta 5. no matter what I do, thats what I get when I install firefox from official hardy repository | 18:47 |
| trooper | is there a gnome-panel-applet around that shows BOTH cpu temperature and frequency with the possiblity to alter the frequency like cpufreq-selector does? | 18:47 |
| trakinas | xkcd pws! | 18:47 |
| Myrtti | Seveas: better than telling why it's doing that for real ;-) | 18:47 |
| Shujah-1 | Reformer81, didnt work? | 18:47 |
| threedee | I'd like to download the source for commands "ls" and "cd". How can I do that. Thankyou. | 18:47 |
| trooper | err that doesnt show both but lets one choose the frequency from it :-) | 18:47 |
| Seveas | threedee, apt-get source coreutils | 18:47 |
| pakonja | Seveas, direct rendering: Yes, that means I got it installed... thanks | 18:47 |
| DarkAudit | Malix: do you have the updates repository enabled? | 18:47 |
| threedee | Seveas: Thankyou very much | 18:47 |
| Reformer81 | Shujah-1: Oh, not that. I haven't tried it yet :) I'm sure it will work, though. | 18:48 |
| netcatc | wols_: reiserfsck --rebuild-tree | 18:48 |
| Reformer81 | Shujah-1: But then I'm still going to need to take extra steps to make the gnome panel useful after disabling compiz. | 18:48 |
| Sinister | why does devede take so damn long i have 4gb ram a 3.2 dual core pent 4 and it takes hours whats the deal is there anything faster ? | 18:48 |

| Shujah-1 | Reformer81, make sure hide time is super short too & hide pixel are 0. | 18:48 |
| MethodOne | threedee: ls is part of coreutils, and cd is part of bash. run the command apt-get source coreutils or apt-get source bash | 18:49 |

| gnomefreak | Malix: enable -proposed and you will get 3.0.1 | 18:49 |
| Malix | k, I'll try that | 18:49 |

| keanu | asked this earlier but had to leave - yesterday I was able to play music fine in amarok (it's all I've been using) and was able to play files locally and from my NAS. Today, I can't play any mp3 or flac (don't have any others to test) in Amarok, VLC, totem, mplayer, or xine. any ideas on how to fix it? | 18:49 |

| wraund | keanu: are there any error messages? | 18:50 |
| Pici | IdleOne: Finished? | 18:50 |
| netcatc | wols_: thanks for incentive | 18:50 |
| Malix | gnomefreak: whats 'proposed' in kubuntu terms | 18:50 |
| keanu | wraund, nope. it acts like it's about to play, and just sits there doing nothing. skipping to the next track (which also doesn't work) in most of the above programs causes them to freeze | 18:51 |
| wraund | ahh.. | 18:51 |
| wraund | close it all down | 18:51 |
| gnomefreak | Malix: proposed is a repo that is used to push packages to before they go into update (im fairly sure its updates) | 18:51 |
| wraund | then open a terminal, and run 'killall amarokapp' without quotes | 18:51 |
| wraund | then type amarok | 18:51 |
| wraund | and press enter | 18:51 |
| graft | does anyone have an audio setup that "just works", i.e. all applications can use the sound card without interference or crashing simultaneously? and if so, how was it achieved? | 18:51 |
| wraund | see if errors are displayed there :) | 18:51 |
| Lusule | quick question: assume i've installed this on a small fraction of my drive and now decide i like it - can i expand it to get rid of windows completely, or do i have to reinstall? | 18:51 |
| Malix | gnomefreak: but I have all those enabled o_O | 18:51 |
| gnomefreak | Malix: once in proposed it needs testing before it hits normal repos | 18:51 |
| keanu | wraund, I've restarted both the NAS and laptop several times with no luck. | 18:51 |
| wraund | keanu: see if any terminal messages appear | 18:52 |
| gnomefreak | Malix: no you dont. you dont have proposed if you didnt add it | 18:52 |
| keanu | wraund, ok | 18:52 |
| Shujah-1 | graft, you can have one too > http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?p=4928900 | 18:52 |
| Malix | gnomefreak: ok, but I did have 3.0 final before, today I noticed it got back to b5 | 18:52 |
| IdleOne | n njhakhgyhhgcxbghsbgdh4 nvgxxxzzzzxzzcxcx | 18:53 |
| gnomefreak | Malix: if you look at list you will see something like deb http://gb.archive.ubuntu.com/ubuntu/ intrepid-proposed main restricted universe multiverse | 18:53 |
| keanu | wraund, no errors when trying to play music - it just sits there doing nothing | 18:53 |
| wraund | ok | 18:53 |
| gnomefreak | Malix: 3.0.1 is in proposed it is next security point release | 18:53 |
| wraund | open... | 18:53 |
| wraund | settings > configure amarok | 18:53 |
| wraund | look under engine | 18:53 |
| Malix | gnomefreak: yes, but isn't 3.0 final already there? | 18:53 |
| wraund | what is it using | 18:53 |
| gnomefreak | Malix: but it will your repos in a week or so | 18:53 |
| gnomefreak | Malix: final is in -updates | 18:54 |
| Reformer81 | Shujah-1: Well, this will work for now. But I'm curious... isn't there someway to modify the panel's configuration file on the fly? For example, set a "visible" attribute to zero? | 18:54 |
| Malix | atleast I have it on _this_ computer, but on the other it reverted to b5 o_O | 18:54 |
| keanu | wraund, xine | 18:54 |
| oobe | im having a problem with cron not working is there somthing special i need to do to get cron to work | 18:54 |
| gnomefreak | Malix: 3.0.1 is newer than final | 18:54 |
| Malix | gnomefreak: well, obviously, but isn't there 3.0 final in the normal repositories? | 18:54 |
| Malix | no? | 18:54 |
| wraund | keanu: and what is the output plugin shown as? | 18:54 |
| wols_ | Malix: apt-cache policy for ffox3? | 18:54 |
| graft | Shujah-1: hm, okay, trying that | 18:54 |
| gnomefreak | Malix: than you need to update it becasue only one not updated to final is in gutsy and im working on that sort of | 18:54 |
| DarkAudit | Malix: -updates, not the main ones | 18:54 |
| keanu | wraund, auto detect | 18:55 |
| gnomefreak | Malix: yes its in -updates repo | 18:55 |
| carib909 | No sound, cannot find card! how to fix? | 18:55 |
| gnomefreak | Malix: not in gutsy only hardy | 18:55 |
| Shujah-1 | Reformer81, you can probably make a script for it, place it on the desktop - But I gather that would be too much hassle for something like that | 18:55 |
| wraund | keanu: what options does the drop down menu give you | 18:55 |
| Malix | gnomefreak: I have hardy | 18:55 |
| wols_ | !sound | carib909 | 18:55 |
| ubottu | carib909: If you're having problems with sound, first ensure ALSA is selected, by double clicking on the volume control, then File -> Change Device (ALSA Mixer).

| wols_ | hagus: lots, yes | 19:05 |
| kaushal | how to get that | 19:05 |
| DarkAudit | whileimhere: all the *-look sites seem to be unreachable :( | 19:05 |

| karol_ | :) | 19:05 |
| wols_ | hagus: but unless you tell us more about the problem we cannot say how | 19:05 |
| Shujah-1 | there is a Shift+Win Key + LMB I know about | 19:05 |
| Sigike | Im gone read this, i'll let you know if it works or not, cause the restricted drivers gave me a blank screen | 19:05 |
| wols_ | socialevil: the Xorg.0.log from your ubuntu install. NOT from the live cd | 19:05 |
| kaushal | it's not there <Reformer81> | 19:06 |
| kaushal | i just checked it out | 19:06 |
| Reformer81 | kaushal: Uh huh. | 19:06 |
| Reformer81 | kaushal: You're out of luck then. | 19:06 |
| Reformer81 | kaushal: I don't think they've created a Fire Phewwwwww plugin yet. | 19:06 |
| ablaze | i have a computer with processor intel pentium 797 MHz with 264 MB RAM ::: i am interested in Linux ::: i should try which kind of linux ::: Ubuntu or something else ? please ::: i want a Linux OS which is rapid and does not slow down the system plz | 19:06 |
| Sigike | I have one question, what if it fails, i always reinstalled linux after a blank screen, is there an easier way to get back on my desktop without reinstalling ubuntu? | 19:07 |
| Reformer81 | kaushal: Look for "Burn" animation :) | 19:07 |
| Reformer81 | I gotta run all... | 19:07 |
| trooper | ablaze: try xubuntu | 19:07 |
| kristian_ | should i use a firewall with linux? And which one? | 19:07 |
| DJones | !xubuntu | ablaze: I'd suggest xubuntu with those specifications | 19:07 |
| ubottu | ablaze: I'd suggest xubuntu with those specifications: Xubuntu is Ubuntu with Xfce instead of !GNOME. More info at http://www.xubuntu.org and http://wiki.ubuntu.com/Xubuntu/ - To install from Ubuntu: « sudo apt-get install xubuntu-desktop » - Join #xubuntu for support - See also: !Ubuntu and !Xubuntu-Channels | 19:07 |
| LSD|Ninja | ablaze: yeah, xubuntu is probably what you want to be looking at | 19:07 |
| wols_ | kristian_: no | 19:07 |
| kaushal | <Reformer81>have you seen the video ..vista vs ubuntu in youtube | 19:07 |
| doryian | linux has a built-in firewall | 19:08 |
| wols_ | doryian: you still shouldn't use it | 19:08 |
| kristian_ | did a test and told me that i have plenty of ports open? | 19:08 |
| Malix | wols_: I am not making this up, I have no idea how to prove this other than this: http://www.kotikone.fi/malix/snapshot1.jpg | 19:08 |
| hagus | wols_, I had accumulated several kinds of linux to test. Some did not succeed and ultimately, I was left with several partitions I did not want. I erased many of them. | 19:08 |
| wols_ | unless you have a real reason. and having to ask shows you there is no reason | 19:08 |
| hagus | I am left with Vista and Ubuntu. | 19:08 |
| wols_ | Malix: help->about | 19:08 |
| hagus | The Vista part boots up OK. Ubuntu does not. | 19:09 |
| Delamundo | Ok, can I get some help with a sound problem I am having? | 19:09 |
| doryian | in terminal type ufw enable or ufw disable, depends | 19:09 |
| wols_ | !errors | hagus | 19:09 |
| ubottu | hagus: If you have problems or errors, you will need to describe/paste them. Please use the !pastebin for errors that cannot be quoted in a single IRC message | 19:09 |
| ablaze | thanks :::: i already installed ubuntu and it seems very heavy ::: now i will give a try to xbuntu ::: thanks a lot | 19:09 |
| wols_ | !ask | Delamundo | 19:09 |
| Delamundo | Flash does not work on my x64 distro. | 19:09 |
| doryian | xubuntu is faster than ubuntu? | 19:09 |
| michael_ | ubuntu is heavy ? | 19:09 |
| ubottu | Delamundo: 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. :-) | 19:09 |
| wols_ | !flash | Delamundo | 19:09 |
| ubottu | Delamundo: 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 | 19:09 |
| socialevil | wols_, yes | 19:09 |

| wols_ | !ot | trooper | 19:10 |
| ubottu | trooper: #ubuntu is the Ubuntu support channel, #ubuntu+1 supports the development version of Ubuntu and #ubuntu-offtopic is for random chatter. Welcome! | 19:10 |
| wraund | keanu: your most welcome mate | 19:10 |
| Delamundo | can see it ( on websites such as youtube) but there is no sound. I have read up on the different installations of it, and have done them, to no avail. Still no sound. | 19:10 |
| hagus | OK - Easy summary of problem is I have a corrupted menu.lst. How do I go about fixing it? | 19:10 |
| shau | hello... | 19:10 |
| Malix | wols_: http://www.kotikone.fi/malix/snapshot2.jpg | 19:10 |
| wols_ | hagus: corrupted HOW? | 19:10 |
| ablaze | i should download an alternate CD of xbuntu and install from that CD like i did for ubuntu? | 19:10 |
| hagus | I tried editing it myself :) | 19:10 |
| Malix | trooper: not my computer, I just troubleshoot it | 19:11 |
| wols_ | Malix: locate firefox | 19:11 |
| shau | somebody knew about a sound problem on ubuntu 8.04 at T61p laptop? | 19:11 |
| trooper | Malix: no ofense meant, was just wondering ... | 19:11 |
| kristian_ | oh it meant my routers firewall isnt on !!! | 19:11 |
| wols_ | hagus: unless we know what you edited, no way to help | 19:11 |
| hagus | OK - nm. | 19:11 |
| redduck676 | Malix: uggh, try aptitude update | 19:11 |
| redduck676 | that failing change your severs. | 19:11 |
| wols_ | redduck676: that won't help | 19:11 |
| wols_ | redduck676: apt-cache policy doesn't lie | 19:12 |

| Malix | redduck676: I've done that several times now, no help | 19:12 |
| redduck676 | Malix: that as in? | 19:12 |
| wols_ | Malix: I'd purge firefox and reinstall it. possible even with dpkg -i | 19:13 |
| Malix | wols_: k, just a sec | 19:13 |
| sploozer | I'm trying to write a silly bash script with stats a dir and then removes files within that dir that have a file size less than x ...i've pasted the it here http://rafb.net/p/JGY9kB45.html some reason it doesnt work can someone take a peak? | 19:13 |
| redduck676 | wols_: isn't 500 an internal server error that means apt can't get a .deb from a server? | 19:13 |
| metalpres | how do you disable the alt hotkey in gnome? right now it defaults to allowing you to move a window without clicking the title bar, but because of that I can use alt in other apps for other functions | 19:13 |
| wols_ | redduck676: no | 19:13 |
| redduck676 | sploozer: ugggh, wrong by design IMHO. find can do size comparison and has -delete | 19:14 |
| Joeseph | Hello. I have a windows network that I can see when I go to Places->Network. I can see a PC on my network, but when I double click it, nothing happens. I know I need to sign in to get to it, but How do I do that? | 19:14 |
| Malix | wols_: still beta5 | 19:15 |
| sploozer | hmm | 19:15 |
| wols_ | Malix: create a new profile? | 19:15 |
| redduck676 | sploozer: also, you are missing a '$' in 'rm i' | 19:15 |
| wols_ | Malix: dpkg -S /usr/bin/firefox | 19:15 |
| android6011 | i just got an external hard drive that I want to put ubuntu on, I want it encrypted however. my question is if i encrypt it just by using the alternate install disk how safe will my data be if the drive gets stolen | 19:16 |
| socialevil | wols_, http://pastebin.com/d158e8287 | 19:16 |
| redduck676 | wols_: well, http://www.w3.org/Protocols/rfc2616/rfc2616-sec10.html this thinks 500 is indeed an internal server error :-) | 19:16 |
| Malix | wols_: it replied: firefox-3.0: /usr/bin/firefox | 19:16 |
| wols_ | redduck676: and apt is http since when? | 19:16 |
| finalbeta | hey, I can't connect to my windows shares from my feisty install. anyone knows why? The shares do work. Just not from the feisty install. Simply get a message that the share couldn't mount. | 19:17 |
| wols_ | Malix: dpkg -l |grep firefox | 19:17 |
| michael_ | hmm.... i don't know whether i'm in love with gnome or i hate it | 19:17 |
| wols_ | socialevil: what card was it again? | 19:17 |
| sploozer | redduck676: find /test53/* -size-290k -type f -exec rm -f | 19:17 |
| sploozer | ??? | 19:17 |
| sploozer | redduck676: find /test53/* -size-290k -type f -exec rm -f '{}'\' | 19:18 |
| wols_ | redduck676: maybe you should read up on pinning. there it is explained what those numnbers mean. priority | 19:18 |
| socialevil | Ati radeon Xpress 1100 | 19:18 |
| redduck676 | sploozer: missing a space after -size, i'd alis add an echo infront of rm | 19:18 |
| Joeseph | so does anyone know how to log into a windows pc? | 19:18 |
| wols_ | socialevil: try fglrx instead not radeon | 19:18 |
| Malix | wols_: ii firefox-3.0 3.0+nobinonly-0ubuntu0.8.04.1 safe and easy web browser from Mozilla | 19:18 |
| socialevil | i did | 19:18 |
| Malix | argh, damn tabs | 19:18 |
| redduck676 | sploozer: also you need an '+' after the rm | 19:18 |
| redduck676 | or simply use -delete | 19:19 |
| zaputr | how often transfering information between processes System V IPC is used??? | 19:19 |
| wols_ | Malix: get a new profile. it IS the newest and not 3.0b5 | 19:19 |
| Joeseph | !network | 19:19 |
| ubottu | Wireless documentation can be found at https://help.ubuntu.com/community/WifiDocs | 19:19 |
| Joeseph | !windowsNetwork | 19:19 |
| ubottu | Sorry, I don't know anything about windowsnetwork | 19:19 |
| Joeseph | !windows | 19:19 |
| socialevil | when i install fglrx and do everything like its written in ubuntu site.. after reboot it sais that my graphic and my monitor are not recognized and i need to do that manually.. but there is no ASUS to choose only acer | 19:19 |
| ubottu | For discussion on Microsoft Windows, or help with same, please visit ##windows. See http://launchpad.net/distros/ubuntu/+bug/1 http://linux.oneandoneis2.org/LNW.htm and /msg ubottu equivalents | 19:19 |
| Funcan | Evening all... if you were daft enough to install with no swap partition, is there a gui for adding a swapfile easily? | 19:19 |
| wols_ | socialevil: then you need to edit xorg.conf manually. you can do that now with radeon driver too | 19:20 |
| Malix | wols_: k. but I really don't see how a new profile could affect which version the application says it is? or am I just rather dense here? | 19:20 |
| wols_ | hooray for the useless autosense | 19:20 |
| socialevil | wols_, i cant.. i dont know what to edit .. | 19:20 |
| Malix | though it is rather weird I get beta5 currently | 19:20 |
| wols_ | Malix: dpkg doesn't lie. either you have a local copy of the firefox binary somewhere (in ~ or /usr/local) or it's the profile | 19:20 |
| wols_ | Malix: only the newest deb package isinstalled and NOT 3.0b5 | 19:21 |
| sploozer | redduck676: keeps saying missing argument to '-exec' | 19:21 |
| redduck676 | sploozer: either add a + at the end of '\;' (+ being prefered) | 19:21 |
| sipior | Funcan: i don't believe there is a gui for that, but you can easily make one with dd, mkswap and swapon | 19:21 |
| ozzloy | when i go to Places -> Network -> Windows Network, i can see windows computers, but i can't actually connect to them. i am not prompted for a username/pw either. how do i troubleshoot this? | 19:21 |
| sploozer | find /test53/* -size -290k -type f -exec rm -f +'{}'\'; | 19:22 |
| sploozer | ? | 19:22 |
| Joeseph | ozzloy: I'm having the exact same problem | 19:22 |
| ozzloy | Joeseph: ^5! | 19:22 |
| redduck676 | sploozer: no. find /test53/ -size -290k -type f | 19:22 |
| bobertdos | ozzloy, Joeseph: Do you know if Samba is properly installed? | 19:22 |
| redduck676 | if you like what you see add a '-delete' at the end | 19:22 |
| ozzloy | Joeseph: ping me in here if you find a solution | 19:22 |
| mg | Hi People! I lately used a nice programm for watching videos, but I forgot its name. I installed it with apt-get in ubuntu. Any idea? | 19:22 |
| SwedeMike | mplayer ? | 19:23 |
| Joeseph | bobertdos: shoot, I forgot I wiped it this morning... maybe, I'll check synaptic | 19:23 |
| ozzloy | bobertdos: i did sudo aptitude install samba, not sure what else is necessary | 19:23 |
| mg | SwedeMike: no, i think it was vlc... | 19:23 |
| melter | is there any harm in uninstalling network-manager and network-manager-gnome? | 19:24 |
| sploozer | redduck676: I still need the exec component thought for it to remove those files | 19:24 |
| Malix | wols_: I agree with you 100%, it should be 3.0 and not 3.0b5, and there are no local copies as far as I can tell | 19:24 |
| daemon3 | Does anyone have a problem with the k system tray? Many times the icons appear in windows on the desktop. Anyone else have that problem? | 19:24 |
| michael_ | is there any truth, that keeping 1mb of free space between partitions is a more safe way ? | 19:24 |
| Kirbuchi | melter: just make sure you have another manager before you uninstall it | 19:24 |
| sploozer | find /test53/* -size -290k -type f -exec rm -f '{}'\; | 19:24 |
| SwedeMike | mg: well then, vlc is also a video player | 19:24 |
| melter | Kirbuchi: like what? | 19:24 |
| Malix | wols_: and it was 3.0 final as of few days ago | 19:24 |
| sploozer | find /test53/* -size -290k -type f -exec rm +f '{}'\; | 19:24 |
| DigitalNinja | How do I install the Hardy Heron php packages on Dapper? I have opened up backports if that helps. | 19:24 |
| redduck676 | sploozer: for the 3rd or so time, use -delete. | 19:24 |
| isploit | ther are quite a frew rss client, i dont know with one to try, they all semm good, any advice? | 19:25 |
| redduck676 | if you really inisit you can use -exec echo rm -rf {} + | 19:25 |
| sipior | Funcan: to be more specific: "dd if=/dev/zero of=swapfile bs=1024 count=1000000" makes a gigabyte (empty) file, "mkswap swapfile" will make it a swap file, and "swapon swapfile" will make it available to the system. | 19:25 |
| Malix | wols_: we noticed the issue when adblock ceased to work | 19:25 |
| Joeseph | bobertdos: I now have samba. what do I need to do now? | 19:25 |
| piquadrat | Hi! I have a problem with my microphone on a Lenovo T60. I hear myself speaking when I wear a headset, but skype and ekiga don't capture anything. Soundcard is a Intel HDA | 19:25 |
| ozzloy | oh interesting, there's another computer on the network that i can connect to without username/pw | 19:25 |
| lucassantana | Oi | 19:25 |
| ozzloy | and it shows the contents fine | 19:25 |
| Kirbuchi | melter: i use wicd, i added it to the repositories, installed it and then uninstalled network-manager | 19:25 |
| lucassantana | Algum Brasileiro? | 19:25 |
| Funcan | sipior: Cheers. It isn't for me, it is for a friend, I'll knock up a bash script to do it for him | 19:25 |
| lucassantana | Jesus ama Vocês | 19:26 |

| kira | hi guys .... i want to install dome fonts but in gnome nautilus the link fonts:/// do not work can you help me? | 19:26 |
| wols_ | lucassantana: if you don't stop we hate you. and jesus as well | 19:26 |
| normloman | is your microphone selected in alsa mixer? | 19:26 |
| melter | Kirbuchi: what's the purpose of a network manager? is it just for wireless connectivity? | 19:26 |

| remitaylo1 | does anyone know how the 'Sharing Options' feature works? works great for me, but I'd like to know where the settings get persisted to. they seem to be user-specific, not system-wide, yet i can't find anything in my home directory | 19:27 |
| piquadrat | normloman: what do you mean with "selected"? It's not muted, anyway | 19:27 |
| bobertdos | Joeseph, ozzloy: In theory, Samba should be all that's needed. What version of Windows are you running on that end? | 19:28 |
| brede | #ubuntu-de | 19:28 |
| normloman | lemme see something | 19:28 |
| normloman | hold on | 19:28 |
| Kirbuchi | melter: no it's not just for wireless, its a gui for conecting to diferent networks wired or wireless. I really don't know much about that, i used network-manager and it worked fine with wired networks but always gave problems with wireless, so i tried wicd and now it works fine with both | 19:28 |
| seisen | Wicd is nice to use it does give you more options than network-manager | 19:29 |
| Joeseph | bobertods: I'm running vista. | 19:29 |
| Psi-Jack | How it Linux's ATI X1600 support these days? Does it do Compiz yet? ;) | 19:29 |
| Joeseph | I can see my Vista-PC, but I don't know how to give it my user name and password. | 19:29 |
| normloman | well what i did was I went into terminal and typed alsamixer ... then i switched from playback to capture and there is a little symbol next to the device that is select4ed for capture | 19:29 |
| ozzloy | bobertdos: windows xp, idk service pack | 19:30 |
| ozzloy | bobertdos: i could find out | 19:30 |
| melter | seisen: does it work with dhcpcd? network-manager apparently requires dhcp3-client | 19:30 |
| normloman | like it has the L__R CAPTURE below it | 19:30 |
| seisen | do you mean does allow dhcp connections? | 19:30 |
| normloman | but again im no expert. I've been using ubuntu for a few months | 19:30 |
| sploozer | redduck676: thanks | 19:30 |
| normloman | so you may know this already | 19:30 |
| Psi-Jack | Anyone? ;) | 19:30 |
| bobertdos | ozzloy, Joeseph: I would perhaps consider running the network config wizard on your Windows machines again. Other than that, I can't think of a very good reason why this would be happening. | 19:31 |
| Psi-Jack | I'm wondering if ATI's display drivers are better these days from what they were about 8-10 months ago, and if it supports things like Compiz fusion yet? | 19:31 |
| Loki-G4- | server gr.irc.gr | 19:31 |
| Joeseph | bobertdos: I can get to it on my windows side. | 19:32 |
| bughunter2 | hey, why is there no lua.pc pkg-config file installed on Ubuntu by default? | 19:32 |
| bughunter2 | (that is, when installing the package lua) | 19:32 |
| Seveas | bughunter2, you need a lua-dev or liblua-dev package for that | 19:32 |
| wild_oscar | howdi! I installed a new firefox upgrade (proposed by apt-update) and lost sound on flash apps | 19:32 |
| bughunter2 | ah | 19:32 |
| piquadrat | normloman: wait a minute, I think I see what you mean. Let me test it with a skype test call | 19:32 |

| babo | i can connect to the internet via a usb to my nokia mobile phone. I've no idea what chip is used there, probably hsdpa or something. My phone runs Symbian. Is there any chance that there's drivers out there for linux to do the same thing ? That's a fairly wide question admittedly ... | 19:34 |

| the_darkside_986 | Is there a very simplistic build system for Ubuntu that requires only Gedit for source and simply adding the names of source files to a list and typing a simple command to build everything? Makefiles are too tedious and autotools are hopelessly overly complex. | 19:35 |

| Falling-Inferno | bobertdos: Ok what is it? | 19:55 |
| scoates | linxeh: I'm not looking for a workaround. I'd like to know how a user can crash the entire box with mv, and fix that. | 19:55 |

| mathias | Hello, does anybody knows how to install the drivers for an internal wifi card when the (incomplete) tutorial from the french ubuntu website does not help ? | 20:04 |
| linxeh | david123: its more a divide and conquer approache - breaking data into chunks and processing each chunk separately on a different machine, then combining the results | 20:04 |
| Falling-Inferno | bobertdos: I want to be able to acsess it when I get on linux and I don't want it in a Windows Partition. | 20:05 |

| ActionParsnip | kristian_: please direct you speech, webmin is cool for a web based system | 20:05 |

| ActionParsnip | kristian_: I use it, its fine | 20:06 |
| onthefence929 | i have a 2part problem, for some reason when i installed ubuntu, it somehow made one of my hardrives dissapear (but only on the detection of it, i can still access the information that was on it, it was/is a windows XP partition, it just says everything is on my second harddrive, leaving my 1st harddrive as unallocated space, though winXP detects it correctly). how am i supposed to fix this? | 20:06 |
| onthefence929 | 2) i am trying to reinstall windows XP, and the install disk says it can't detect any harddrives. i think the problems are related. | 20:06 |
| onthefence929 | thanks | 20:06 |
| Falling-Inferno | bobertdos: Its not NTFS its FAT32. | 20:06 |

| bobertdos | gkrellmhelp: indeed it is, I just found that out myself :) | 20:15 |
| mathias | bobertdos: thank you for answering :) I tried that too, but it does not seem to work. I used the driver for Windows XP. The installation goes well, but then under the driver name, there's written "Hardware present: no". I've been using the wifi for almost three years, therefore I do know I have a wifi card. Do you have any idea about what I could try ? The french tutorial gives no information abou | 20:15 |

| th0r | gkrellmhelp, gkrellm predates gnome and kde...so probably doesn't install to the menus. For gnome you can add it using alacarte or create a .desktop file in /usr/share/applications | 20:16 |

| gkrellmhelp | th0r what's alacard? | 20:16 |
| med186 | kikou | 20:17 |
| th0r | gkrellmhelp, alacarte...it is a menu editor for gnome | 20:17 |
| gkrellmhelp | and or how would I go about greating a .desktop file? What about making it autostart upon login/boot? | 20:17 |
| onthefence929 | bobertdos: i guess so, did you see my original question? | 20:17 |
| th0r | gkrellmhelp, it isn't 100%. | 20:17 |
| th0r | gkrellmhelp, to get it to autostart have it running when you shut down the first time and tell gnome to save the session. | 20:18 |
| Zamadatx | i jsut used fire in compiz and am wondering how to make it go away? | 20:18 |

| vixy_fox | nixnoob: so just install 32 bit ubuntu? | 20:36 |
| dai | I'm gay and use ubuntu | 20:36 |
| nixnoob | vixy_fox: I think it is possible to patch a 32 bit kernel so that it will use more than 4 Gigs of RAM... | 20:36 |
| nixnoob | vixy_fox: the problem with the vanilla 32 bit install is that you will not get to use all 6 Gigs of RAM. | 20:36 |
| dai | I do have it all 3D though | 20:36 |
| vixy_fox | nixnoob: This is true. What sort of compatibility issues are you refering too though? | 20:37 |

| Gorion | I have a problem, i have setup apache,php5,svn with DAV (ubuntu 8.04), i added a location in my config file (http://pastebin.com/m47406b8b) and the other files are all accesable (ac1 -> http://pastebin.com/d59d2af0d). The error i am getting is a 404 error when i connect to the svn page by http | 20:37 |
| th0r | keio, edit the file with 'sudo gedit /boot/grub/menu.lst' and you should find a line starting 'kernel' that has the splash option in the line. Change it to read splash=verbose and that should do it | 20:37 |
| Joeseph | bobertdos: I think I confused you. I am attempting to see and copy shared files on my windows machine onto this ubuntu machine. I can see my Win. machine in Place-> network, yet it does not prompt me for a password and gives me a blank screen when I click on it. | 20:37 |
| nixnoob | vixy_fox: unless you are an experienced linux user with many kernel compilations under your belt I would recommend not futzing with the kernel... Vixy, the issues I'm refering to are only things I have read since I only use 32 bit. | 20:38 |

| ohgood | bobertdos, hmm, do you know something about this 404 for xubuntu ? http://cdimage.ubuntu.com/xubuntu/releases/hardy/alpha-1/ | 20:38 |
| Lusule | with regard to nvidia drivers: i have the new 9600 and it doesn't seem to be supported according to that faq - anyone know any different? | 20:38 |

| legend2440 | demofish: cabextract is in synaptic. its probably already installed | 20:38 |

| wols_ | mansour: pidgin is GUI from the start | 20:39 |

| McShane | CostaRicanQuaker, synaptic is the GUI version, aptitude is the CLI | 20:49 |
| coldboot | shau: It doesn't depend on the laptop model name, you won't get a response to that. | 20:49 |
| linxeh | Xavura: might be wrong. any reason that pressing space/enter isnt suitable ? | 20:49 |
| bobertdos | Joeseph: You do have user accounts set up on the Windows machines, yes? | 20:49 |

| Ben | I have hardy heron installed on VMware Workstation (host OS is Vista Ultimate). The virtual machine is set up to bridge its connection to the internet, but I can't get websites to load within it. The funny thing is, Ubuntu can update fine (I just updated from 7.10 to 8.04), so the guest OS DOES have internet access. What's going on? | 20:54 |
| uga | coldboot: yes, I do that. Just wondering why linux formatted ones aren't accepted yet windows formatted ones are | 20:54 |
| coldboot | shau: Pull the card out, type dmesg, then put the card in and type dmesg. | 20:54 |

| LumpyCam | orudie: use 'screen' | 20:54 |
| coldboot | shau: See what messages are different after you put the card back in. | 20:54 |
| coldboot | uga: It might be the wrong options passed to mkfs. | 20:54 |
| uga | trakinas: I almost gave away my rebel... 200eur? | 20:54 |
| trakinas | uga: because of fat itself. is a matter of lucky. | 20:54 |
| uga | or 150 was it | 20:54 |
| coldboot | uga: It also might be that windows fucks up the formatting a little bit, but cameras have only been configured to work with the messed up version. | 20:54 |
| trakinas | uga: nein. dont have the money now. =/ | 20:54 |
| linxeh | uga: are you sure the camera can read fat32 ? | 20:54 |
| uga | coldboot: maybe. I tried several things | 20:55 |
| uga | linxeh: afaik yes, but I tried with fat16 too | 20:55 |
| uga | which is what the camera uses | 20:55 |
| linxeh | ok | 20:55 |
| linxeh | and fat16 didnt work ? | 20:55 |
| Tux2K8 | where the trash is stored? | 20:55 |
| trakinas | uga: find out which fat it uses. | 20:55 |
| uga | linxeh: uh, it should anyway, since the camera supports 8GB cards, and 8GB isn't supported by fat16 | 20:55 |

| CostaRicanQuaker | coldboot: what's the difference between sudo apt-get install and sudo aptitude install ? | 20:57 |
| Red_Wraith | Thanks. Also, when I choose a graphics card, what's more important, clock speed or RAM? | 20:57 |
| coldboot | CostaRicanQuaker: apt-get isn't as good as aptitude for keeping things clean. | 20:57 |
| coldboot | CostaRicanQuaker: aptitude is smarter, hence the name. | 20:57 |
| uga | linxeh: what I'm not sure is about fat parameters | 20:57 |

| Red_Wraith | coldboot: how would I benchmark my system? | 21:00 |
| CostaRicanQuaker | coldboot: it says ldconfig deferred processing now taking place and gives me the prompt again, i looked up under internet and the browser hasnt been installed yet | 21:00 |
| McShane | coldboot, here's my fglrxinfo output: http://paste.ubuntu.com/27341/ | 21:00 |
| coldboot | Red_Wraith: I dunno, there are various Windows game benchmarks like 3dmark. | 21:01 |
| Phase | Is there a program in the ubuntu repository that will use freedb or something similar to mass update id3 tags? | 21:01 |
| McShane | coldboot, I installed those drivers with EnvyNG, if that matters | 21:01 |
| jokkaa | Does anyone know how i can get my ubuntu to find my digital camera? | 21:01 |
| jokkaa | quickest way | 21:01 |

| user___ | hello can you help me with real player install | 21:02 |
| Myrtti | !envy | coldboot | 21:02 |
| ubottu | coldboot: 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. | 21:02 |
| failure | Anybody have an example preseed file? | 21:02 |
| bughunter2 | Phase: was that one for me? | 21:02 |
| coldboot | McShane: This is good output, acceleration is on. | 21:02 |
| Phase | bughunter2, About XP? That was for onthefence929 | 21:02 |
| coldboot | Myrtti: Funny how that doesn't really explain what envy is. | 21:02 |
| McShane | coldboot, cool, thanks. As for what EnvyNG is: http://albertomilone.com/projects.html | 21:02 |
| bughunter2 | no i was talking about lua.pc pkg-config file which isn't installed by lua-dev | 21:02 |

| === melter_ is now known as melter | ||
| bughunter2 | i know | 21:03 |
| bughunter2 | but you said "i'll look into it" | 21:03 |
| bughunter2 | you could be some package maintainer, i don't know | 21:03 |
| bughunter2 | :P | 21:03 |
| user___ | can you help me with real player install | 21:03 |
| Phase | As a response to someone answering my question :P | 21:03 |
| bughunter2 | Phase: ok ;) | 21:03 |

| Phase | bughunter2, :) | 21:03 |
| user___ | real player . rpm how i install it | 21:03 |
| McShane | coldboot: okay, I figured as much: ) | 21:04 |
| uga | linxeh: any chances you know how to check formatting parameters of an existing fat partition? | 21:04 |
| bughunter2 | user___: no RPM on Ubuntu, basically "RTFM" | 21:04 |
| Lusule | that didn't work :( | 21:04 |
| bughunter2 | or convert RPM to DEB, with 'alien' | 21:04 |
| isaacj87 | hey all this is a noobish question, but how can I save a GIMP project as a project so that I can open it up and edit it again? | 21:04 |
| lil-romeo | hello all friends | 21:04 |
| user___ | ok where i get this | 21:04 |
| trakinas | user__: try the mplayer way for playing real files | 21:04 |
| bughunter2 | user___: apt-get install alien | 21:04 |
| SodaKiller | all your petro are belong to us. | 21:04 |
| bughunter2 | user___: then, 'man alien' | 21:04 |
| shau | coldboot : i did the things you said -> between the two dmesg logs there is no difference | 21:05 |
| user___ | in terminal? | 21:05 |
| lil-romeo | does somebody alow me to help? with my network drivers wireless it works on this edition but i need serious help | 21:05 |
| bughunter2 | user___: but most likely, your RPM package is readily available for Ubuntu | 21:05 |
| bughunter2 | so try to install the package first using th enormal ways | 21:05 |
| bughunter2 | "in terminal?" <-- where else? | 21:05 |
| Lusule | and i can't remember the name of the guy who was helping me now :( | 21:05 |
| user___ | ok i am new man on this so step by step or i will get lost | 21:05 |
| bughunter2 | user___: there is ubuntuguide.org | 21:06 |
| Joeseph | great. irony. whenever I run the system monitor, my computer shoots up to 100% and runs slow. Otherwise it's fine.... hahahahahahaha | 21:06 |
| lil-romeo | Does anyone knows something about wireless network drivers that want me to help for a few minutes | 21:06 |
| McShane | uga, have you used gparted? | 21:06 |
| dynamethod | is there some command that can be used in the bash terminal to view my internet speed? | 21:06 |
| coldboot | shau: Hmm, I'm not sure then. That means the kernel isn't detecting any card reader. What version of ubuntu? | 21:07 |
| bughunter2 | dynamethod: there probably is a program for that, just 'wget' some file from the net | 21:07 |
| user___ | E: Could not open lock file /var/lib/dpkg/lock - open (13 Permission denied) | 21:07 |

| m1r | lil-romeo: little more info please | 21:07 |
| user___ | E: Unable to lock the administration directory (/var/lib/dpkg/), are you root? | 21:07 |
| bughunter2 | user___: type 'sudo ' in front of your command | 21:07 |
| coldboot | !sudo | 21:07 |
| 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) | 21:07 |
| lil-romeo | sudo dpkg --configure -a | 21:07 |
| bughunter2 | user___: and use the same password as you already have used to logon | 21:07 |
| dynamethod | how about a bash command to view my cpu temperature? | 21:07 |
| lil-romeo | try | 21:07 |
| user___ | ok | 21:07 |
| user___ | ok | 21:07 |
| bughunter2 | user___: i advise you to read the ubuntu beginner guides carefully, it really avoids much questions | 21:07 |
| bughunter2 | and that way, you educate yourself :D | 21:07 |
| McShane | Joeseph, there appears to be a bug in the monitor -- you can reduce its resource footprint by disabling smooth refresh and increasing the update intervals by a few seconds | 21:08 |

| bughunter2 | it really helps | 21:08 |
| evan__ | hey i installed mohaa via loki installer and it works a little bit ... its in possible for me to modify settings | 21:08 |

| user___ | ok but it so long | 21:08 |
| coldboot | shau: Hmmm, maybe google the model name of your laptop and "card reader" or "compact flash" or something like that. | 21:09 |
| user___ | so i try to get it fast | 21:09 |
| coldboot | shau: Does the thing work in Windows, or any other computer? | 21:09 |
| shau | coldboot : just another thing - lspci -v shows System peripheral: Ricoh Co Ltd xD-Picture Card Controller (rev 11) | 21:09 |
| bughunter2 | user___: you shouldn't rush | 21:09 |
| bughunter2 | that's really the most important part | 21:09 |
| bughunter2 | patience.. | 21:09 |
| coldboot | shau: Okay so that should be working. | 21:09 |
| coldboot | shau: So ls /dev/sd* | 21:09 |
| user___ | i will try to read it | 21:09 |
| uga | McShane: heh, it didn't provide existing FS's info, and after formatting with same format (fat16) again, the camera refused accepting it | 21:09 |
| orudie | LumpyCam still here ? | 21:09 |
| coldboot | shau: See if you see any /dev/sd[a-d][0-9] files | 21:09 |
| coldboot | shau: It's probably automatically set to one of those sd* devices, you have to guess which one. | 21:10 |

| uga | linxeh: I should be ashamed after so long working on similar stuff ;) | 21:33 |
| coldboot | shau: Yeah all card readers should work fine. | 21:33 |
| uga | btw, I even said 256 when I should have said 255 | 21:33 |
| * uga blushes even more | 21:33 | |

| penetrarthur | th0r: is it gonna be possible to install this cd using wine ? | 21:34 |
| uga | th0r: I got no excuses. I teach network protocols =) | 21:34 |
| michael_ | hmm | 21:34 |
| trakinas | mfdavid: i dont know where in dev the webcam goes, but try this: dmesg | grep webcam | 21:35 |
| michael_ | has anyone else the same problems? opening 'settings' in gnome xchat and 100% cpu usage? | 21:35 |
| shau | coldboot: Now I don't see any devices listed | 21:35 |
| th0r | penetrarthur, I have no idea...don't do any more in wine than I have to | 21:35 |
| uga | th0r: and I've worked on little endian devs (vs big endian network protos) on a daily basis. So reading hex this way should be as easy as stealing a lollypop to a kid =) | 21:35 |

| trakinas | xintron: yes | 21:37 |
| coldboot | shau: Well the lsmod output is good. | 21:37 |
| penetrarthur | th0r: how is fuseiso different from mount command ? | 21:37 |
| coldboot | shau: Did you see some /dev/sd* devices before? What were they? | 21:37 |
| Jack_Sparrow | Gerrit you cant go from feisty to any other release except gutsy | 21:37 |
| xintron | trakinas: Care to share? | 21:37 |
| trakinas | xintron: apt-get install apache2 svn svnserver dav | 21:37 |
| th0r | penetrarthur, fuseiso allows you to mount a disk image, an iso file | 21:38 |
| trakinas | xintron: http://www.howtogeek.com/howto/ubuntu/install-subversion-with-web-access-on-ubuntu/ | 21:38 |
| coldboot | shau: Basically once the kernel detects the card reader, it should automatically create some devices under /dev, you may already know this. | 21:38 |
| Gerrit | Jack_Sparrow: Okay, thanks. | 21:38 |
| Jack_Sparrow | np | 21:38 |
| hwilde | anybody user SolarWinds Orion for snmp monitoring? what snmpd do you run | 21:38 |
| th0r | penetrarthur, it does the same thing that daemontools does for windows | 21:38 |
| penetrarthur | ok | 21:38 |
| coldboot | shau: Then you mount that device in some directory. You have to have a card in the card reader for this to happen, not just an empty card reader. | 21:38 |
| mandana | trakinas: thanks. but I don't pass any parameters on Windows. Just the IP address should do it. | 21:38 |

| Jack_Sparrow | ralf_ automatix has never work or been supported by or in Ubuntu | 21:48 |
| ralf_ | h | 21:48 |
| ralf_ | oh | 21:48 |
| td123 | Scott: why do you need to reinstall hardy? | 21:48 |
| ralf_ | no i like hardy | 21:49 |
| ScottWegner | Michael88: hmm, couple things to note: first of all, you will need to open a port on your router to access it remotely. I believe the port is 5900-- have you done this? | 21:49 |
| Michael88 | ScottWegner yes | 21:49 |
| Jack_Sparrow | X3 I would not recommend leaving backports enabled | 21:49 |
| ralf_ | i downloaded the vmware player+server rpms from vmware and install it wit sudo alien -i *.rpm | 21:49 |
| X3 | it is | 21:49 |
| ScottWegner | Michael88: ok. The other thing is (although I'm not *entirely* sure), but I believe you need to be logged into the Ubuntu machine locally before you can connect remotely | 21:50 |
| ralf_ | buts not work | 21:50 |
| Jack_Sparrow | ralf_ Trying to use RPM's is a REALLY bad idea as well | 21:50 |
| Jack_Sparrow | !alien | 21:50 |
| ubottu | RPM is the RedHat Package Management system. Ubuntu uses !APT, not RPM. RPM packages are not supported (the package "alien" can allow installing them, but it's quite dangerous) | 21:50 |
| jotil | hello | 21:50 |
| jotil | installed SELinux using synaptic (package: selinux-basic). it removed AppArmor. then changed from upstart to sysvinit (installed sysvinit and it automatically removed upstart). rebooted the system and it worked fine. | 21:50 |
| X3 | JAck all backports are enabled on syunaptic | 21:50 |
| ralf_ | but with apt there is no vmware | 21:50 |
| hubar | ScottWagner: I installed network-manager-vpnc (along with vpnc) from synaptic. | 21:50 |
| jotil | so as the next step, added "selinux=1 enforcing=1" in the Grub kernel options to start with SELinux enabled but the system is not booting. i am getting stuck at the (initramfs) prompt. seems like the kernel is not being able to load? any help anyone? | 21:50 |
| ScottWegner | Michael88: So a good thing to try would be to log in and then try connecting-- do you have an extra laptop or computer you can test with now? | 21:50 |
| hubar | ScottWegner: now what do I do? | 21:50 |
| Jack_Sparrow | X3 and I am suggesting that you dont enable them | 21:50 |
| ralf_ | on vmware site only rpm or tar | 21:51 |
| marcules | Good Evening :) | 21:51 |
| ScottWegner | hubar: if you click on the network manager icon, you can see an entry for VPN connections, click "Configure VPN" to create a new one | 21:51 |

| tj20e8 | but got make errors | 22:18 |
| tj20e8 | heaps of em | 22:18 |
| pteeb | td123, how would I say, unpack the iso into a folder | 22:18 |
| tj20e8 | so then I tried to make it work with the alternative; ndiswrapper | 22:18 |
| tj20e8 | and make errors again | 22:18 |
| td123 | pteeb: well just copy the contents of the mounted iso to a folder... there are also some tools to extract them I think | 22:18 |
| tj20e8 | although my compiler seems all up to date | 22:18 |
| tj20e8 | so I getting rather annoyed here | 22:19 |
| pteeb | td123, i used a tool called f---- i think, but i cant remember :( | 22:19 |
| tj20e8 | mainly because noone else in the world seems to have this problem | 22:19 |
| tj20e8 | or seems to be able to relate to it | 22:19 |
| td123 | pteeb: just mount and copy files | 22:19 |
| th0r | pteeb, fuseiso will allow you to mount the iso file | 22:19 |
| tj20e8 | or even recognize me complaining about it | 22:19 |

| Paddy_EIRE | pteeb: make sure its not in use right click the volume icon on the dektop and select unmount | 22:41 |

| MrCollins | I have an small biz pc shop and want to keep the same subnet across the company | 22:42 |
| Paddy_EIRE | !ask | 22:42 |
| ubottu | Please don't ask to ask a question, ask the question (all on ONE line, so others can read and follow it easily). If anyone knows the answer they will most likely answer. :-) | 22:42 |
| ScottWegner | blackbinary_ops: what's up? | 22:42 |
| Gnea | MrCollins: http://www.peplink.com/products/balance-200-300/ | 22:42 |
| Paddy_EIRE | pteeb: are you sure its not in use | 22:42 |
| Gnea | MrCollins: YMMV ;) | 22:42 |
| blackbinary_ops | I have an external harddrive. it runs esata so it is as fast as an internal drive. I want to boot Ubuntu off it. That is not the problem. Is it possible for it to work on multiple computers? | 22:42 |
| xyzzy | ScottWegner: "stdout"? | 22:43 |
| Paddy_EIRE | pteeb: In a terminal try "sudo umount -a" | 22:43 |
| Gerrit | Hi. I'm trying to remove a package 'ptex-bin' ('apt-get install -f' is trying to do the same) but it fails with "mv: cannot stat `/etc/texmf/texmf.d/30ptex.cnf': No such file or directory". What can I do? | 22:43 |
| pteeb | it goes Do you want to empty the trash before you unmount? | 22:43 |
| Paddy_EIRE | yeah | 22:43 |
| pteeb | what exactly will that do? | 22:43 |
| Sorcererbob | MrCollins, if you're all at the same site can't you use a DHCP server to keep it all in the same subnet? | 22:43 |
| ScottWegner | xyzzy: stdout is the output you see on the command line. Basically, if you specify "> {somefile}" after a command, then whatever *would-have* been output on the command line, will go into that file instead | 22:43 |
| xyzzy | I see. | 22:44 |
| pteeb | oh Paddy_EIRE , i understand now. | 22:44 |
| failure | anybody? | 22:44 |
| xyzzy | That's strange, because I'm pretty sure the desktop was stdout if I understand correctly, yet it's not covered in bits of source... | 22:44 |
| muddler | blackbinary: someone may correct me but I think the install customizes ubuntu to your hardware. A "live-cd" style system might get around that problem | 22:44 |
| ScottWegner | blackbinary_ops: it's probably best not to try to use the same ubuntu installation for many different computers. The main problem would be hardware incompatibilities between different machines. A better idea would be to simply but your /home partition on the external harddrive | 22:44 |
| Paddy_EIRE | pteeb: as far as I know gnome used to always ditch the trash back into the volume it has been deleted from... now I believe it uses your ~./trash directory... should be fine whether or not you empty iy | 22:44 |
| Paddy_EIRE | *it | 22:44 |
| ScottWegner | xyzzy: I'm not sure what you mean.. | 22:45 |

| Reformer81 | kcman: Okay.... run sudo apt-get install sun-java6-jre | 23:54 |

| travis | windows control center has a personalized screen section built in | 23:54 |
| Reformer81 | travis: This isn't Windows :) | 23:54 |
| travis | i know | 23:54 |
| travis | but mabe theres a way to fill in that values by hand directly into xorg | 23:55 |
| ScottWegner | travis: I imagine that the configuration file format isn't exactly the same between windows and Linux | 23:55 |
| travis | so the screen works smoothly | 23:55 |
| Reformer81 | travis: What do you mean by "screen"? | 23:55 |
| ScottWegner | travis: I'm not aware of any direct "translation" utility | 23:55 |
| Reformer81 | travis: Resolution and such? | 23:55 |
| travis | refresh rates | 23:55 |
| travis | horizontal sync | 23:55 |
| travis | etc... | 23:55 |
| Reformer81 | travis: Yes, you can configure all that manually in Xorg. | 23:55 |
| travis | active horizontal pixels | 23:56 |
| ScottWegner | travis: the settings for nvidia are saved in the fiile ~/.nvidia-settings-rc -- you can check this file to see if the format is similar to Windows | 23:56 |
| gnuB_Chris | travis: you really should just load the nvidia package. it will do all that for you. | 23:56 |
| Reformer81 | travis: /etc/X11/xorg.conf | 23:56 |
| travis | and things like that | 23:56 |
| travis | gnuB_Cris | 23:56 |
| Reformer81 | travis: However, like gnuB_Chris said, when you install the nVidia drivers, that should all be configured automatically for you. | 23:56 |
| travis | my screen requires personalized configuration | 23:56 |
| travis | not a generic one | 23:56 |
| Reformer81 | travis: So, your monitor then? | 23:57 |
| travis | i'll check out .nvidia-settings | 23:57 |

| travis | connected via rgb | 23:57 |
| Reformer81 | travis: And did you go to System -> Preferences -> Screen Resolution? | 23:57 |
