| rizkhan | can the document viewer open them, ? | 00:01 |
| owner | trying to get you on another machine | 00:01 |
| unop | X3, why won't you install the packages available in the repositories? | 00:01 |
| owner | dont see you | 00:01 |
| ivorybishop | public mistakes deserve public apologies i think | 00:01 |
| purplestar | how can I log into hotmail email automatically? | 00:01 |
| owner | in the same freenode then ubuntu | 00:01 |
| superfirelord42 | owner: ok..... | 00:01 |
| X3 | becaue theire old buggy and I rather have newer ones and that is not a valid argument to say jsut use the repos | 00:01 |
| debCarlos | EnMasse187: But, i don't know if it's fast, because i only did it for test... and it was slow... but maybe it's because i was emulating Windows... | 00:01 |
| superfirelord42 | owner: do you know hte version on the wifi? | 00:01 |
| Shujah | ivorybishop, gone are the time when public mistakes deserved public lashes :P j/k | 00:02 |
| keri | i am learning how this program works. it is not like windows at all | 00:02 |
| superfirelord42 | like v4 or v7? | 00:02 |
| superfirelord42 | or something? | 00:02 |
| Driv3r912 | purplestar, when logging into hotmail, just check the box that says "log me on automatically" | 00:02 |
| owner | no clue boss | 00:02 |
| owner | i can find out | 00:02 |
| ivorybishop | Shujah: hehe, i would prefer that to remain the case indefinitely :) | 00:02 |
| superfirelord42 | please check... | 00:02 |
| owner | if youm lead me tru it | 00:02 |
| X3 | sorry seems like thats all I get here I want to learn more and I get pushed to a simple sudo apt-get | 00:02 |
| DeFirence | what is the default x display? | 00:02 |
| owner | but i can use wire | 00:02 |
| superfirelord42 | it should be written on the wifi card | 00:02 |
| purplestar | Driv3r912: i mean... whenever I clean out my cookies in firefox, it have to enter all that login info again. Any solution? | 00:02 |
| owner | i prefer that | 00:02 |
| unop | X3, fair enough - but your setup is not likely to be supported in here then - anyway, before building a package setup the build environenment. sudo apt-get build-dep package_name | 00:03 |
| bleck | DeFirence: :0 ? | 00:03 |
| EnMasse187 | debCarlos: kk | 00:03 |
| DeFirence | bleck, ok, ty | 00:03 |
| superfirelord42 | owner: the install would still have to be wire.. but i want to make sure afwords, you will have the wifi you want... | 00:03 |
| docjay | could someone give me hand installing a driver in ubuntu? | 00:03 |
| X3 | Im not asking for support | 00:03 |
| owner | the wirless i wanted to know if it ill work after inslallation is complete | 00:03 |
| askand | Has the problem with firefox crashing when using libflashsupport been fixed? | 00:03 |
| bleck | DeFirence: make sure if you are running a program, that you are running it as the same user as your x session, else it wont find the display | 00:03 |
| X3 | jsut helpnin how to get thisngs done better | 00:03 |
| sysop1972 | how do I open a text editor as root with gnome? | 00:03 |
| purplestar | Driv3r912: any solution? | 00:03 |
| Driv3r912 | well, when you clear cookies, that is the result. Cookies is what stores your passwords and information, so when you delete it, the browser looses it all. You just have to start over again. | 00:03 |
| Shujah | __yy, okay dude I'm downloading ktorrent thanks for the suggestion | 00:03 |
| owner | ok thank you thats just what i was hoping 4 | 00:03 |
| bleck | DeFirence: eg: don't start something as root | 00:03 |
| Bosambo | Anyone here any good at configuring network interface? | 00:04 |
| DeFirence | ah yeah | 00:04 |
| unop | X3, i'm just saying, you are free to build stuff from source - but then you are on your own dealing with issues | 00:04 |
| purplestar | how do I tell Firefox to keep all the hotmail cookies when I delete all cookies in firefox? | 00:04 |
| DeFirence | im tying to start a application in x over ssh :) | 00:04 |
| X3 | thought I understand why ubuntu insists on keppeng things toba controlled environmennt | 00:04 |
| unop | sysop1972, gksudo gedit | 00:04 |
| DeFirence | trying* | 00:04 |
| piece | i am about to do a bare-bones install, if i use my hardy mini.iso image can i just replace "hardy" with "intrepid" in /etc/apt/sources.list, aptitude update && aptitude upgrade and i'm good to go? | 00:04 |
| bobertdos | Bosambo: I suppose I could give it a shot ;) What's up? | 00:04 |
| piece | i will have only the cli installed when i do this | 00:04 |
| bleck | Shujah: I would recommend azureus, if you want a full featured client, otherwise for something lighter ktorrent | 00:04 |
| Driv3r912 | As far as I know, you can't select cookies you want to keep and ones you delete. When you choose to delete cookies, it deletes all of them. | 00:04 |
| DeFirence | bleck, which i got working | 00:05 |

| uri | receives an error after installing : | 00:05 |
| Legendario | ? | 00:05 |
| X3 | yes sir but this is why I want a comprehesive list of cpompilers dependencoes and all else that may help me even build in a future not so far deb files | 00:05 |
| docjay | could someone give me hand installing a driver in ubuntu? | 00:05 |
| keri | i went to the web site lime ware and it accepts ubutu and i hit download. I dont know if it download or not. Is there a special way to download or what am i doing wrong. | 00:05 |
| uri | cannot check root file system because it is not mounted read-only | 00:05 |
| uri | anyone? | 00:05 |
| piece | unop: ok, thanks | 00:05 |
| sysop1972 | unop : I downloaded a program called scite but I would like to use it in the GUI as root if possible | 00:05 |
| X3 | looking on the net is pretty much sudo apt get nonsense | 00:06 |
| Driv3r912 | sorry about that purplestar... | 00:06 |
| superfirelord42 | uri: are you using the live cd or the alternate? | 00:06 |
| unop | sysop1972, why do you want that anyway? you should only use your editor under sudo unless really needed | 00:06 |
| __yy | X3: you want a comprehensive list off all the dependencies for all software? | 00:06 |
| jamus | i icreased my swap partition after install do i need to configure something or does it automaticlly change it? | 00:06 |
| uri | superfirelord42> : alternate i can't seem to get live-cd to work | 00:06 |
| debCarlos | sysop1972: isn't scite an IDE ? | 00:06 |
| em_ | linxeh: flash cookies, hmmm interesting... thanks for the link. also firefox has added an app database as part of their web offline initive, so now we really will have lots of info being stored. wonder to what extent they are considering the security implications of that. persoanlly I use noscript and seldom enable flash | 00:07 |
| dawn | Im haveing problems setting up my video card i got it installed and it says its in use but it doe sent allow me to enable visual effect when i try to enable it i get the error (Desk top could not be enabled) | 00:07 |
| jamus | increasd (in size) ******* | 00:07 |
| superfirelord42 | uri: at what stage does this error appear? | 00:07 |
| X3 | _yy just about | 00:07 |
| bastid_raZor | keri; where do you have firefox download things to? | 00:07 |
| Shujah | whats ssdp - got a warning on firestarter at port 1900? | 00:07 |
| docjay | could someone give me hand installing a driver in ubuntu for LIRC? | 00:07 |
| keri | i dont know | 00:07 |
| __yy | X3: you don't think that's a bit absurd? How could someone possibly compile that list? | 00:07 |
| uri | <superfirelord42>: after finished installing , when i try to boot, the orange bar filles and then i get this massege | 00:07 |
| __yy | X3: pretty much the closest you'll get to that is apt-get, which does that internally | 00:08 |
| dawn | I'm having problems setting up my video card i got it installed and it says its in use but it doesent allow me to enable visual effect when i try to enable it i get the error (Desktop effects could not be enabled) | 00:08 |
| X3 | ok not that much then but I want to know where to place the progrmas when compiling them and absolutly build deb pachkages | 00:08 |
| sysop1972 | unop : sorry.. I am a newb... I didn't realize opening something in the terminal would actually open it in the GUI.. I am so acustomed to windows. | 00:08 |
| dawn | can any one help me with my video card | 00:08 |
| keri | bastid_raZor, i dont know | 00:08 |
| superfirelord42 | hmmm, uri, reboot and in grub hit e to edit the prompt | 00:08 |
| debCarlos | dawn: Hi :) Good to see you again, aleady tried with the Nvidia Ubuntu How to ? | 00:08 |
| debCarlos | !nvidia | 00:08 |
| ubottu | For Ati/NVidia/Matrox video cards, see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/BinaryDriverHowto | 00:08 |
| uri | <superfirelord42>: ok then what? | 00:09 |
| unop | X3, usually doing apt-get build-dep before building a package suffices, if you are building something exotic, read the README or INSTALL file for a list of required libraries | 00:09 |
| __yy | X3: it generally doesn't matter where you put a program while compiling it, somewhere in your home directory is usually easiest | 00:09 |
| dawn | debCarlos: hey im haveing problems with it i dont know what to do | 00:09 |
| Owner_ | ok got the img file need the rarwrite thing now | 00:09 |
| superfirelord42 | uri: select line kernel... hit e to edit | 00:09 |
| debCarlos | !nvidia | dawn | 00:09 |
| ubottu | dawn: For Ati/NVidia/Matrox video cards, see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/BinaryDriverHowto | 00:09 |
| unop | X3, if you need to search for a particular development library say gtk-2.0 .. do something like aptitude search "libgtk.*-dev" | 00:09 |
| docjay | could someone give me hand installing a driver in ubuntu for LIRC? | 00:09 |
| Owner_ | I am on a new machine | 00:09 |

| debCarlos | dawn: You should see that... | 00:09 |
| bastid_raZor | keri; go to edit> preferecnes> select the main tab and that will tell you where files are put when you download them | 00:10 |
| dawn | debCarlos: ok ill read it brb 2 min | 00:10 |
| Owner_ | how do i chnge ur color so i can see you better | 00:10 |
| superfirelord42 | Owner_: like this? | 00:10 |
| unop | sysop1972, even on windows you can open GUI apps at the command-line/terminal .. but that is not the issue, if you find you need to constantly open your editor or IDE as root, you really ought to change the permissions on the files or directories you are editing | 00:10 |
| jamus | dawn: did u change the thing in system/ preferences/ appearence?? | 00:10 |
| superfirelord42 | Owner_: supposably when your name is mentioned, your client should highlight the line.... | 00:11 |
| Owner_ | ok | 00:11 |

| keri | bastid_raZor, it is not on desk top | 00:14 |
| bastid_raZor | keri; your files are downloaded to your desktop then. ~/Desktop in CLI | 00:14 |
| Svindle | Yeah, it works fine in my XP partition | 00:14 |
| Svindle | it is in .mp3 format, however. Would have have a severe problem in Ubuntu? | 00:14 |
| Owner_ | not finding any | 00:14 |
| unop | X3, i don't think you are approaching this the right way -- each source package has a list of prerequisites in terms of libraries that need to be installed on the system, the appropriate compilers, etc are invoked by the configure and make scripts, you don't need to adjust these things -- just make sure that your build environement is setup | 00:14 |

| superfirelord42 | Svindle: not really, mp3 is pretty supported... | 00:15 |
| Owner_ | can you look up the specs on online with the mod no. | 00:15 |
| Svindle | I thought so :D | 00:15 |
| superfirelord42 | unless only mp3 is making the problem | 00:15 |
| Owner_ | u know | 00:15 |
| unop | X3, most often you will find all the info you need if you read the README or INSTALL files in the source packages | 00:15 |
| superfirelord42 | Owner_: no, the version is needed to get hte correct specs | 00:15 |

| haegl | hello, Is there a way to tell gnome not to show some disks in Places->Removable Media & desktop? The reason is that /dev/sdc1 and /dev/sdd1 are part of a NTFS stripped volume (/dev/mapped/chaos) that is already mounted. | 00:16 |
| X3 | ok Jack I wannt to learn how to compile better place progrmas on expected dirs and possibly even build deb packages adn I would like a more comprehensive list of compilers and so forth that would help me on the way | 00:16 |
| Owner_ | wireless g | 00:16 |

| superfirelord42 | Owner_: all of that model are wireless G | 00:16 |
| maco | X3: list of compilers? we use GNU compilers in the Linux world | 00:16 |
| X3 | unop yes sometimes but not often | 00:16 |
| Driv3r912 | hmmm... I am not really familiar with that format, there is software called K3B, you can install to help you in a GUI Visualized way on burning ISOs and creating CDs. | 00:16 |
| debCarlos | superfirelord42: What happened with owner, did he install Ubuntu :) ? | 00:16 |

| dawn | # nvidia-glx-new | 00:17 |
| bastid_raZor | keri; nevermind the CLI ;) if in that dialog box download to Desktop is checked that is where it went. if you have the download window open then you should be able to use that file from there.. are you sure limewire is what you want for a torrenting application in Ubuntu? | 00:17 |
| Driv3r912 | 00:17 | |

| hatter | can xchat be changed to read from top down instead of bottom up ? | 00:17 |
| maco | X3: those are all you need. if you need build dependencies for something "sudo apt-get build-dep <package>" will get all the build dependencies for <package> | 00:17 |
| debCarlos | dawn: The legacy one :) | 00:17 |
| Owner_ | meanwhile please send me the rarwrite link agian i am on a new machine | 00:18 |

| superfirelord42 | Owner_: you only have one floppy? | 00:40 |
| Owner_ | no lots of them | 00:40 |
| maco | keri: then wait for it to say it's done and without quotes type "sudo dpkg -i *deb" and enter your password at the prompt | 00:40 |
| IndyGunFreak | ivorybishop: are you using Nvidia? | 00:40 |
| superfirelord42 | Owner_: no, use a diffrent floppy each time | 00:40 |
| Owner_ | like 30 | 00:40 |

| lucas_ | maco: I did but I don't want to install texlive-full ? | 00:42 |
| dawn | deffently not dual core i have no idea | 00:42 |

| debCarlos | dawn: If you have a 32 bit OS, you should pick IA32 | 00:44 |
| ivorybishop | IndyGunFreak: Taught me a good lesson: Always have a partition image backup before hitting that update button. Also, it helps to fully document a solution to a problem on an OS you are very shaky on. lol | 00:44 |
| superfirelord42 | dawn: do you know if you have a pentium 3 or 4 or a pentium P or what? | 00:44 |
| dawn | i got ubuntu i have no idea if its 32 64 | 00:44 |
| IBeLeeB | anyone have a parted that works? | 00:44 |
| dawn | pentium 4 | 00:44 |
| SaGe | Hi all, i have a question. I have previously installed ubuntu, but decided on a better way to partiton it. Because I am running a dual boot with XP, once I formatted the drive Ubuntu was on, grub stopped working. So i still have grub sitting on my first drive, but it doesnt work. If i install Ubuntu again, will there be any problems>? | 00:44 |
| dawn | i think | 00:44 |
| superfirelord42 | its 32 bits.... | 00:44 |
| dawn | ya pentium 4 | 00:44 |
| IndyGunFreak | ivorybishop: yeah, i've been very lucky, updates have never caused me an issue, otehr than needing to recompile my wifi driver on my laptops(which i know is coming, so i save the files to do it) | 00:44 |
| FAJALOU | SaGe: shouldn't have any, especially if it doesn't work, but format the drive w/ grub on it just to be sure. | 00:45 |
| debCarlos | dawn: Your card is of TNT/TNT2 series or of RIVA PCI series ? | 00:45 |
| superfirelord42 | debCarlos: pentium 4 was x86 wasnt it? | 00:45 |
| dawn | yes | 00:45 |
| maco | dawn: what does the sticker for the CPU say on your laptop? | 00:45 |
| IndyGunFreak | dawn: uname -a will tell you if you have 32 or 64bit | 00:45 |
| maco | dawn: or desktop | 00:45 |
| dawn | the driver version i need is 1.0-71xx | 00:45 |
| FAJALOU | i am using an nvidia card with compiz, and every time the screen goes to the administration password, and it gets dim, the dimmness doesn't go away until i move an open window around the screen, is there a way to fix this? | 00:45 |
| lucas_ | got it thanks maco | 00:45 |
| dawn | its not a laptop | 00:46 |
| SaGe | FAJALOU: The problem is, on that drive is XP, and I don't want to format it. I had grub write over the MBR. Though, i did repair the MBR, so grub should be gone... but its not. | 00:46 |
| dawn | but on my desktop its says pentium 4 | 00:46 |
| debCarlos | superfirelord42: yes | 00:46 |
| dawn | PENTIUM $ | 00:46 |
| dawn | 4 | 00:46 |
| superfirelord42 | dawn: it definatly is 32 bit.. | 00:46 |
| IndyGunFreak | dawn: just run uname -a in a terminal, that will tell you if you have 32 or 64bit. | 00:46 |
| dawn | thats what i thought | 00:46 |
| keri | maco, dpkg_i is not a comman | 00:46 |
| IndyGunFreak | it should be 32bit... | 00:46 |
| IndyGunFreak | but i saw someone manage to get 64bit installed on a pentium IV the other day | 00:46 |
| FAJALOU | SaGe: if you tell the new ubuntu install to use it's Grub, then it shouldn't matter what is on the other drives, GRUB will be run from the ubuntu partition | 00:46 |
| superfirelord42 | IndyGunFreak: how and why? | 00:47 |
| superfirelord42 | Owner_: how goes it? | 00:47 |

| IBeLeeB | Greetings All.......... trying to connect a 6tb scsi raid 5 tower, and am having obvious problems...... currently, parted doesn't work right...... anyone have any ideas? | 00:47 |
| dawn | thats 32 bit i think | 00:47 |
| IndyGunFreak | dawn: it is | 00:47 |
| SaGe | FAJALOU: Doesnt grub have to be written over the MBR for it to work in this case? | 00:47 |
| bastid_raZor | keri; that is true. dpkg -i on the other hand is a command. | 00:47 |
| dawn | ok | 00:47 |
| IndyGunFreak | i686/i386 is 32bit | 00:47 |
| dawn | now i found the driver i need | 00:47 |
| dawn | but do i download it off the internet and run it | 00:47 |

| IndyGunFreak | unusual. | 00:48 |
| dawn | ya i know | 00:48 |
| stewart_ | how can i get my windows vista partition to mount on startup? | 00:48 |
| FAJALOU | SaGe: not sure about that, but I know that my grub works even with windows, and if Ubuntu does overwrite your MBR, then it is recoverable, and with a disk called Super Grub Disk, you can recover you MBR or also your GRUB menu | 00:48 |
| dawn | should i uninstall the driver that i have download this driver off the internet and run that installer | 00:48 |
| IndyGunFreak | SaGe: you can also recover grub from a Live CD, if you have one | 00:49 |
| IndyGunFreak | !grub | SaGe | 00:49 |
| ubottu | SaGe: grub is the default Ubuntu boot manager. Lost grub after installing windows: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/RecoveringUbuntuAfterInstallingWindows - Making GRUB floppies & other GRUB howtos: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/GrubHowto | 00:49 |
| jamus | dawn: give me the full name of ur driver and ill try search stuff on it maybe it will help u | 00:49 |
| SaGe | FAJALOU: Yea, i just use the XP cd to recover the MBR. What do I have to specify as far as where grub should be installed? | 00:49 |
| dawn | ok | 00:49 |
| dawn | you mean the name of my video card | 00:49 |
| stewart_ | how can i get my windows vista partition to auto- mount on startup? | 00:50 |
| keri | maco, http://pastebin.com/m6e9c579f | 00:50 |
| FAJALOU | SaGe: unless you are installing /home /boot /etc /lib etc on different partitions, i think that it will auto-detect it. | 00:50 |
| bambino | ANDRES | 00:50 |
| suselin | !fstab | stewart_ | 00:50 |

| superfirelord42 | Owner_: what? | 00:50 |
| Owner_ | when i press enter it goes away | 00:50 |

| superfirelord42 | which files Owner_? | 00:51 |
| unop | SaGe, simple make a new partition and mount /home/data on that | 00:51 |
| stewart_ | ubottu: no better than any other irc user i would suspect | 00:51 |
| ubottu | stewart_: Error: I am only a bot, please don't think I'm intelligent :) | 00:51 |
| Owner_ | let with drivers | 00:51 |
| unop | simply* | 00:51 |
| gaile | hey guys newbie, question :) I installed the oftc-ircd throught apt-get install, where can i find the example.conf or something like that? | 00:51 |
| dawn | jamus: heres the name of my video card nVidia Corporation NV5M64 [RIVA TNT2 Model 64/Model 64 Pro] this website will help http://www.nvidia.com/object/IO_32667.html that will tell you what driver i need and here is the place i found where to download the driver http://www.nvidia.com/object/unix.html | 00:51 |
| FAJALOU | why would you want / & /home on the same drive? just put /home on a different partition, | 00:51 |
| Owner_ | net and cd | 00:51 |
| dawn | so shuld i uninstall the driver that i have and download this one | 00:51 |
| superfirelord42 | Owner_: cd? | 00:52 |
| Owner_ | got the boot and root | 00:52 |
| SaGe | FAJALOU: well, i have a 320GB drive, and a 1000GB external. I want to keep basically everything on the external. But system files should go on the 320. | 00:52 |
| Owner_ | cd-drivers | 00:52 |
| superfirelord42 | Owner_: i dont know where you got the cd one.. | 00:52 |
| bastid_raZor | keri; okay, it is installed. look under applications>internet to see if it has it listed as an application to run. if not i can tell you how to add it | 00:52 |
| Owner_ | net-drivers | 00:52 |
| keri | bastid_raZor, http://pastebin.com/m6e9c579f | 00:52 |
| superfirelord42 | you dont need cd-drivers | 00:52 |
| restricted | HI. Is it possible to do something like a symlink, but have the link be copy on write? | 00:52 |
| Owner_ | all img | 00:52 |
| unop | FAJALOU, there could be quite a few reasons for choosing to do that - for one, it is easier to image a single partition rather than two | 00:52 |
| Owner_ | ok | 00:52 |
| superfirelord42 | Owner_: try the net one again with a diffrent floppy | 00:52 |
| Owner_ | it was part og the img files | 00:53 |
| unop | SaGe, you can mount /home/data seperately if you want | 00:53 |
| Owner_ | sorry | 00:53 |
| Owner_ | ok | 00:53 |
| MSChatfTW | # Appears as ANNA | 00:53 |
| hml | i have a djvu file; how can I print it? | 00:53 |
| superfirelord42 | Owner_: no prob, its just a waste since you dont have a cd drive on that computer, hehe... | 00:53 |
| keri | bastid_raZor, where i go....... i went to applications | 00:53 |
| dawn | debCarlos: IndyGunFreak superfirelord42 should i unisntall the driver that i have and install the one i found | 00:53 |
| FAJALOU | SaGe: i would listen to others more than me in this case, i know that i have /home on a different partition b/c it's easier for me. | 00:53 |
| Owner_ | ok ic | 00:54 |
| bastid_raZor | keri; applications > internet ... frostwire should be listed if not i can help you add it to the list. | 00:54 |
| SaGe | unop, FAJALOU: Okay, so I should be good to just install Ubuntu :D. If i mount a drive to a certain part, nothing is done to the data on it right? | 00:54 |
| IndyGunFreak | dawn: don't really know, i don't mess w/ installing graphics drivers that aren't managed by Hardware Drivers | 00:54 |
| Owner_ | will i be able to ad thi later if i wanted to | 00:54 |
| debCarlos | dawn: Yes, if it doesn't work, why do you have to keep it ? :) | 00:54 |
| SaGe | FAJALOU: What is stored in /home? | 00:54 |
| superfirelord42 | dawn: ill let them field that... drivers are not my thing... | 00:54 |
| unop | SaGe, no | 00:54 |
| superfirelord42 | Owner_: if you have a cdrom drive you add later, it will work... | 00:54 |
| X3 | hi again is there a way to stop all the verbose on boot? | 00:55 |
| dawn | ok ill try it | 00:55 |
| keri | bastid_raZor, i dont see internet | 00:55 |
| superfirelord42 | X3: yes... add quiet | 00:55 |
| unop | SaGe, all the user settings are stored on /home | 00:55 |
| superfirelord42 | X3: and splash | 00:55 |
| FAJALOU | SaGe: you will have to tell ubuntu to do a custom partition, and then direct ubuntu to use your hdd as /home, and then the other one as / if you already have stuff on /home that is usable for a /home partition then don't tell it to format it. | 00:55 |
| bastid_raZor | keri; are you using ubuntu 8.04? | 00:55 |
| Jimboe | X3 turn your monitor off | 00:55 |
| MSChatfTW | # Appears as SUSAN | 00:55 |
| Owner_ | good | 00:55 |
| SaGe | unop: is it similar to 'my documents' on windows? | 00:55 |
| unop | X3, add the 'quiet' keyword to the grub line | 00:55 |
| keri | bastid_raZor, not sure | 00:55 |
| FAJALOU | SaGe: not quite, it is all of your preferences etc. | 00:55 |
| hatter | I dont have System -> Preferences -> Theme in my menus | 00:56 |
| superfirelord42 | Owner_: did it write? | 00:56 |
| soto | How do I tell grub where my boot partition is so that update-grub updates the menu.lst with the right one? | 00:56 |
| SaGe | FAJALOU: So what would be the point of having that on a seperate partiton or drive? | 00:56 |
| hatter | should all ubuntus have this ? | 00:56 |
| unop | SaGe, alsmost, but more like the %userprofile% folder on windows -- i.e. c:\documents and settings\username\ | 00:56 |
| Owner_ | no luck | 00:56 |
| Fungusman | hey guys | 00:56 |
| Owner_ | i am biting my nails here | 00:56 |
| Fungusman | I want to blacklist my onboard wifi card | 00:56 |
| Fungusman | How do I do this ? | 00:56 |
| FAJALOU | you could basically take your /home partition and put it on another linux computer and tell the other linux distro to use /home on that partition, and all your prefs will be there. | 00:56 |
| bastid_raZor | keri click system> then do you have About Ubuntu in that drop down? | 00:56 |
| jamus | dawn: NVidia binary X.Org 'legacy' driver --------supports the TNT, TNT2, TNT Ultra, GeForce, and GeForce2 chipsets | 00:56 |
| superfirelord42 | Owner_: i know, its soo close... hehe... ok.. redownload the image, it may be corrupt... | 00:56 |
| Fungusman | And does it will it really stop it from being used ? | 00:56 |
| debCarlos | dawn: But make a backuo of your xorg.conf file , $ cp /etc/X11/xorg.conf ~/ | 00:56 |
| SaGe | FAJALOU, unop: How much data would be stored there? Assuming basically any applications/documents etc. are stored elsewere? | 00:56 |
| Fungusman | I don't want it on at all | 00:56 |
| superfirelord42 | Owner_: http://ftp.egr.msu.edu/debian/dists/sarge/main/installer-i386/current//images/floppy/net-drivers.img | 00:57 |
| Owner_ | ok | 00:57 |
| debCarlos | *backup | 00:57 |
| HappyHater | Fungusman, disable it in your bios | 00:57 |
| superfirelord42 | Owner_: what is the exact error? | 00:57 |
| FAJALOU | SaGe: if you want to fully reinstall your os. I have done a clean install of ubuntu before with /home on a different partition, and had all of my preferences still there. | 00:57 |
| Fungusman | MY bios isn't that good | 00:57 |
| SaGe | FAJALOU: as for how big the partition should be? | 00:57 |
| keri | bastid_raZor, no | 00:57 |
| jamus | dawn: u tryed that 1? | 00:57 |
| bastid_raZor | keri in the terminal type lsb_release -a | 00:57 |
| FAJALOU | SaGe: depends how many people are going to be using the partition? | 00:57 |
| Fungusman | how would I disable it in the bios ? | 00:57 |
| unop | SaGe, errm, it depends -- evolution stores mail there, firefox its cache, other programs might save stuff too -- it could be quite big | 00:58 |
| FAJALOU | SaGe: sorry the computer | 00:58 |
| SaGe | FAJALOU: Just 1 person, as I said nothing will be in there by my choice, so it should just be program preferences and application data that needs to be there | 00:58 |
| ajitam | hi I can use my vnc only if I'm log in to my ubuntu. Is there a way I can login with terminal ? | 00:58 |
| Owner_ | hey this ma be a stupid Q but what if I drag and drop it on the exe. | 00:58 |
| SaGe | FAJALOU, unop: should a few gigs be fine or..? | 00:58 |
| keri | bastid_raZor, 8.04 | 00:58 |
| FAJALOU | SaGe: mine is 33gb, and i only use about 7% of it, | 00:59 |
| unop | SaGe, yea, i would say 5 is probably enough, 10 quite generous | 00:59 |
| FAJALOU | i would say prolly about 20 gb should be fine, | 00:59 |
| superfirelord42 | Owner_: i have no idea | 00:59 |
| bastid_raZor | keri; what do you have listed under applications? | 00:59 |
| FAJALOU | SaGe: i like a big drive for stuff, as you can see ;) | 00:59 |
| SaGe | unop, FAJALOU: lol, and what about a swap partiton? | 00:59 |
| Owner_ | hehe just a tought | 00:59 |
| lildonkey | como redimencionar mi disco duro sin perder el sistema opertativo en este caso ubuntu | 00:59 |
| unop | SaGe, same amount as your RAM | 00:59 |
| FAJALOU | SaGe: how much RAM? | 00:59 |
| superfirelord42 | Owner_: what is the error you keep getting with that image? | 00:59 |
| lildonkey | lo que pasa que por error instale ubuntu en solo 6gb | 01:00 |
| SaGe | FAJALOU, unop: I was told it was supposed to be 2x the amount of ram, I have 3GB ddr2 (667mhz) | 01:00 |
| unop | SaGe, or twice if you might be upgrading the amount of RAM you have | 01:00 |
| lucas__ | people, whos having troubles with adobe flash player and firefox?? | 01:00 |
| FAJALOU | !spanish | lildonkey | 01:00 |
| ubottu | lildonkey: En la mayoría de canales Ubuntu se comunica en inglés. Para ayuda en Español, por favor entre en los canales #ubuntu-es o #kubuntu-es. | 01:00 |
| SaGe | unop: nope won't be upgrading for a while | 01:00 |
| lildonkey | y me disco es de 100 gb no quiero desperdiar espacio | 01:00 |
| unop | SaGe, it's quite unlikely that you will use 3GB of swap -- although, it helps when you are hibernating | 01:00 |
| FAJALOU | lol SaGe then 3 or four gb | 01:00 |
| FAJALOU | if you have 3gb then you should be fine if you don't hibernate, | 01:00 |
| SaGe | unop: a feature I never use, though I do play games. | 01:01 |

| superfirelord42 | Owner_: there is a chance it will work better... | 01:11 |
| cpk1 | dawn: I would say the easiest way would be to switch to another terminal by pressing ctrl and alt and f2 and the same time and then stopping X by doing "sudo invoke-rc.d gdm stop" then run the nvidia installer then do "sudo invoke-rc.d gdm start" | 01:11 |

| cpk1 | dawn: go to terminal 2 by pressing ctrl and alt and f2 at the same time and then log in (when you type your password it wont show anything) then stop the X server with "sudo invoke-rc.d gdm stop" and then do "sudo sh NVIDIA-Linux-x86-71.86.06-pkg1.run" then when that is done do "sudo invoke-rc.d gdm start" after that it should send you to your gnome login, if not try pressing ctrl and alt and f7 at the same time to go to the gnome login | 01:15 |
| dawn | how do i start the terminals back up | 01:15 |
| superfirelord42 | cesar_bo: dpkg -i package name i belive | 01:15 |
| superfirelord42 | cesar_bo: hold on... | 01:15 |
| superfirelord42 | cesar_bo: i think ubuntu prefers using a diffrent command though... | 01:16 |
| lildonkey | ok i going to do it | 01:16 |
| cpk1 | dawn: if you still cant get to the gnome login, you might need to do some tweaking, which is where the fun part comes in, I hope you have a livecd if that happens =P | 01:16 |
| jamus | listen | 01:16 |
| superfirelord42 | debCarlos: dpkg -i packagename for package install right? or does ubuntu prefer something else... | 01:16 |
| cesar_bo | superfirelord42: dpkg -i would install a deb file, I want to get the .deb file from an installed app | 01:16 |
| debCarlos | superfirelord42: Yep | 01:17 |
| cesar_bo | superfirelord42: as backwards, from installed to .deb :D | 01:17 |

| jamus | lildonkey: this way u keep all ur goodstuff | 01:18 |
| debCarlos | cpk1: Sorry, i have no clues about how to do it.... can you tell him how to stop it ? | 01:18 |
| cassie | it's not NTFS, it's ext3, it's the linux drive from my old computer | 01:19 |

| jamus | lildonkey: ya man | 01:20 |
| rooster | basically the system was fine yesterday...today (while machine was turned off) I pulled out a wireless usb adapter, and it caused mayhem when I tried to boot the system | 01:20 |
| Owner_ | ok dd is ready but how do i use it | 01:20 |
| superfirelord42 | cesar_bo: it was something file, i keep thinking apt-file, but i dont htink so | 01:20 |
| cpk1 | debCarlos: I'm sure there are other ways but I do it by stopping either gdm or kdm -- "sudo invoke-rc.d gdm stop" | 01:20 |
| dawn | debCarlos: i made a mistake and clicked ctl alt f2 just to see what it would do and the ctl alt deleate and it turned of my computer give me the instrutions agian lmao | 01:21 |

| Owner_ | i put it in the same folder as rarwrite and my img files | 01:21 |
| rooster | I can get into recovery but am clueless as to how to fix the problem | 01:21 |
| cpk1 | dawn: go to terminal 2 by pressing ctrl and alt and f2 at the same time and then log in (when you type your password it wont show anything) then stop the X server with "sudo invoke-rc.d gdm stop" and then do "sudo sh NVIDIA-Linux-x86-71.86.06-pkg1.run" then when that is done do "sudo invoke-rc.d gdm start" after that it should send you to your gnome login, if not try pressing ctrl and alt and f7 at the same time to go to the gnome login | 01:21 |

| Xavura | I want to make it so I can type something in my browser and it automatically redirect to a URL | 02:17 |
| Xavura | I added something to /etc/hosts and it doesn't work | 02:17 |
| superfirelord42 | SaGe_1: thats good... | 02:18 |
| Swish | Xavura, URL autocomplete? does firefox do that? | 02:18 |
| debCarlos | dawn: Does the driver have a README or INSTALL file? You should read those.... i'm no sure about the xorg.conf too.. | 02:18 |
| SaGe_1 | superfirelord42: kk, continue | 02:18 |
| superfirelord42 | SaGe_1: root (hd0) | 02:18 |
| Swish | I think so. | 02:18 |
| Owner__ | i just want to see the ubuntu across my destk that will really do it 4 me | 02:18 |
| SaGe_1 | superfirelord42: continue | 02:18 |
| unop | Xavura, you can add a firefox keyword | 02:18 |
| dawn | ok 1 sec it said if you dont know what to do theres a read me | 02:18 |
| Xavura | Swish: NOT URL complete, I mean, so I can type chicken and it go to http://www.somewebsite.com | 02:18 |
| Owner__ | color coding | 02:18 |
| cpk1 | dawn: in xorg.conf under the "device" section there should nvidia for the driver | 02:18 |
| Xavura | For example | 02:18 |
| superfirelord42 | SaGe_1: i messed up, do root (hd2,0) | 02:18 |
| Xavura | I had it in Windows so I am sure I can do it in Linux | 02:19 |
| cappicard | Xavura, keywords in firefox | 02:19 |
| superfirelord42 | SaGe_1: you said it was sdc1 right? | 02:19 |
| SaGe_1 | superfirelord42: it is sdc1, yes | 02:19 |
| Xavura | cappicard: I don't want to do it in Firefox, I don't just use Firefox you know | 02:19 |
| Commie_Jebus | is there a wy to speed up GNOME? | 02:19 |
| Xavura | I want to do it properly, via /etc/hosts | 02:19 |
| superfirelord42 | Owner__: did you put hal on the floppy? | 02:19 |
| slackpipe | unop: it failed, but i may have xorg setup wrong | 02:19 |
| Xavura | Commie_Jebus: Buy more RAM :P | 02:19 |
| cappicard | Xavura, set up a proxy server (e.g. squid) | 02:19 |
| dawn | ok i found xorg.conf in my home folder where i had the driver | 02:19 |
| slackpipe | unop: let me see what i can find on google | 02:19 |
| Owner__ | no not yet | 02:19 |
| superfirelord42 | SaGe_1: ok, setup (hd0) | 02:19 |
| Commie_Jebus | Xavura: I have 4gigs | 02:19 |
| SaGe_1 | superfirelord42: shouldn't it be hd1,0? though, since it is the second harddrive? | 02:19 |
| Owner__ | use the zip too | 02:19 |
| Commie_Jebus | Xavura: thats more then enough | 02:20 |
| Swish | what is this firefox keywords thing? A plugin? | 02:20 |
| dawn | debCarlos: ok i found xorg.conf in my home folder where i had the driver should i switch the files | 02:20 |
| superfirelord42 | SaGe_1: according to that, its the third | 02:20 |
| Xavura | cappicard: I don't need to set up a proxy server :S I just need to edit /etc/hosts | 02:20 |
| Xavura | It just wont' work | 02:20 |
| unop | slackpipe, did you attempt to reboot? | 02:20 |
| superfirelord42 | well SaGe_1 what did it say after the root command? | 02:20 |
| SaGe_1 | superfirelord42: Oh, i forgot it puts my external as first. | 02:20 |
| Commie_Jebus | Xavura: DDR3 800 1gigx4 | 02:20 |
| Swish | that isn't what /etc/hosts is for. hosts changes a word to an IP, nothing more | 02:20 |
| cappicard | for hosts, it's 1.2.3.4 host host.domain | 02:20 |
| SaGe_1 | superfirelord42: it didn't say anything | 02:20 |
| dawn | debCarlos: cant i leave it how it is | 02:20 |
| Xavura | so can't I change a word to a url? | 02:20 |
| superfirelord42 | SaGe_1: that explains alot.... you have an external drive? | 02:20 |
| Swish | Xavura, not with hosts. | 02:21 |
| SaGe_1 | superfirelord42: yea | 02:21 |
| Xavura | without installing a server or whatever | 02:21 |
| debCarlos | dawn: Ok, then, do $ sudo gedit /etc/X11/xorg.conf and there, under device section, you'll find something like Driver "vesa" change vesa for "nvidia" :) | 02:21 |
| cappicard | just setup keywords in your respective browsers | 02:21 |
| superfirelord42 | SaGe_1: is it booting from the external or the internel? | 02:21 |
| Xavura | I could on Windows by simply editing a file | 02:21 |
| Swish | cappicard, how do you setup "keywords" in firefox 3? | 02:21 |
| SaGe_1 | superfirelord42: internal, the external isnt touched at all | 02:21 |
| Xavura | I don't want to do it for all my browsers... | 02:21 |
| unop | Swish, in the bookmarks organiser | 02:21 |
| superfirelord42 | SaGe_1: the external is throwing it off... hehe... | 02:21 |
| cappicard | there's a add on for firefox you can install. i forget the name of it. | 02:21 |
| superfirelord42 | SaGe_1: do a ctrl-shit-t | 02:21 |
| ozzloy | i am compiling with gcc -ggdb asdf.c, and i get a segmentation fault but no core dump. how is this possible? | 02:21 |
| cappicard | or use the google bookmark thingy | 02:21 |
| SaGe_1 | superfirelord42: okay | 02:21 |
| superfirelord42 | SaGe_1: if i recall, it should open a new tab... | 02:22 |
| slackpipe | unop: yeah, i think i messed up the xorg, but i have the settings now | 02:22 |
| SaGe_1 | superfirelord42: yep | 02:22 |
| dawn | debCarlos: its allready nivida | 02:22 |
| superfirelord42 | SaGe_1: sudo -i | 02:22 |
| dawn | so am i all set | 02:22 |
| SaGe_1 | superfirelord42: continue | 02:22 |
| dawn | tto turn my vid card on and restart computer and test it | 02:22 |
| unop | slackpipe, depending on your graphics card, you might need to install additional drivers for best results | 02:22 |
| superfirelord42 | SaGe_1: cd /boot/grub | 02:22 |
| debCarlos | dawn: There it's fine :) | 02:22 |
| dawn | ok | 02:22 |
| debCarlos | *there then | 02:22 |
| dawn | im going reboot | 02:22 |
| dawn | BRB | 02:22 |
| superfirelord42 | debCarlos: still working on it with Owner__ its going slow... | 02:22 |
| slackpipe | unop: planned on installin the nvidia drivers after i got it runnin, figured the nv driver would work for now | 02:23 |
| Swish | unop, ahh, cool, thanks :) | 02:23 |
| SaGe_1 | superfirelord42: "-bash: cd: /boot/grub: no such file or directory" | 02:23 |

| superfirelord42 | ? | 02:23 |
| superfirelord42 | debCarlos: he had several disconnects... | 02:24 |
| slackpipe | unop: i got it up in "low graphics mode" | 02:24 |
| SaGe_1 | superfirelord42: I can go through the gui and get to it, if thats fine | 02:24 |
| superfirelord42 | SaGe_1: ok, i just need to konw its contents.. it tells me what is what in grub... | 02:24 |
| dawn | debCarlos: if i turn the vid card to in use wont it install a new driver | 02:24 |
| superfirelord42 | Owner__: any luck? | 02:24 |
| SaGe_1 | superfirelord42: hmm... | 02:25 |
| SaGe_1 | superfirelord42: is boot normally located under /home? | 02:25 |
| superfirelord42 | SaGe_1: no... under / | 02:25 |

| superfirelord42 | Owner__: did you put http://chris.silmor.de/hal91/hal91.img on a floppy yet? | 02:26 |
| SaGe_1 | superfirelord42: which i bet makes a big difference | 02:26 |
| superfirelord42 | SaGe_1: wait, which one has /boot in it? | 02:26 |
| SaGe_1 | superfirelord42: /dev/sdc3 | 02:26 |
| SaGe_1 | superfirelord42: and the contents of the device.map: (hd0)/dev/sda | 02:26 |

| Owner__ | right | 02:27 |
| merula | frappe79, use Terminal Server Client | 02:27 |

| SaGe_1 | superfirelord42: apparently :) | 02:27 |
| superfirelord42 | ok... SaGe_1 go back to the grub tab... | 02:27 |

| aaronb | jeeves__ : have you tried samba? | 02:51 |
| debCarlos | cpk1: did dawn completed the installation of the drivers ? | 02:51 |
| superfirelord42 | SaGe_1: but we just overwrote your anything in your mbr executable | 02:51 |

| Owner__ | no such file or dir | 02:52 |

| simulous | i wanted to try Ubuntu server because i wanted to set up a Linux based gateway/router on a virtual machine so i can manage more of the network resources such as evenly distributing the bandwidth amongst hosts on my lan. | 03:12 |

| Nigel | I'm seeing that..well.. I might as well download the newest version.. | 03:15 |
| debCarlos | Ok, Owner_, i think superfirelord42 wants that you paste the output of mount in the pastebin, then give to he the direction of the paste. | 03:15 |
| Sylphid|work | Nigel, i would recommend getting the latest... although there are 2 ways to use wubi | 03:15 |

| Nigel | I figure I'll just let the installer download the latest (8.04) for me.. | 03:16 |
| normloman | yeah i cant get on to gnome look | 03:16 |
| debCarlos | Owner_: For that do the command he told you and then copy+paste in pastebin, then the page gives a direction to you, that is the direction you have to give him :) | 03:16 |
| normloman | the site may be down | 03:16 |
| debCarlos | !pastebin | 03:16 |
| ubottu | pastebin is a service to post multiple-lined texts so you don't flood the channel. The Ubuntu pastebin is at http://paste.ubuntu.com (make sure you give us the URL for your paste - see also the channel topic) | 03:16 |

| sammyF | hello again .. can anybody help with a ACL883 soundcard/Pulseaudio related problem? please? | 03:19 |
| debCarlos | superfirelord42, what does it do? | 03:19 |
| superfirelord42 | debCarlos: because he currently is booted on a floppy, we want to change floppies | 03:19 |
| sammyF | debCarlos: maybe he's got an EEE or something similar | 03:19 |
| joshman10 | is there better chat program than xchat? | 03:19 |
| Sylphid|work | Nigel, I would use at least 20G | 03:19 |
| superfirelord42 | debCarlos: that lets us use the ram as the root, isntead of being stuck on a floppy | 03:20 |

| pteeb | how can you find the external/internal ip addresses of networked computers? lan/wlan? do you use nmap -sP? | 03:20 |

| Bob24 | could someone please tell me how i can remove all the nvidia drivers on my system and any other video drivers, so i can install the video from scracth? | 03:22 |
| wols | nano_: kernel. blacklist it if you don't want it loaded | 03:22 |
| wols | !blacklist | nano_ | 03:22 |
| ubottu | nano_: To blacklist a module, edit /etc/modprobe.d/my_blacklist and add « blacklist <modulename> » to the end of that list - To explicitly load modules in a specific order, list them in /etc/initramfs-tools/modules and type « sudo update-initramfs -u » | 03:22 |

| Storrgie | is there a firewall in ubuntu? | 03:23 |
| unop | Bob24, recreate a new /etc/X11/xorg.conf file - you do not need to uninstall drivers | 03:23 |
| nano_ | wols: I don't want to blacklist it, i just want to know how ehci_hcd is loaded | 03:23 |
| Owner__ | ok u mean with the hal91 still in it | 03:23 |
| superfirelord42 | Owner__: yes... | 03:23 |
| sammyF | wols: I just changed my mainboard, and Pulseaudio doesn't seem to recognize the integrated soundcard. In the sound prefs, no device is shown, and apparently no output sink is loaded. any idea what I could change? | 03:23 |
| jbchenhuang | why not use eva in the KDE4? | 03:23 |
| wols | godzirra: it's a realtek 8188 varian | 03:23 |
| wols | t | 03:23 |
| wols | sammyF: alsa drivers | 03:23 |
| wols | !alsa | 03:23 |
| ubottu | If you're having problems with sound, first ensure ALSA is selected, by double clicking on the volume control, then File -> Change Device (ALSA Mixer). If that fails, see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Sound - https://help.ubuntu.com/community/SoundTroubleshooting - http://alsa.opensrc.org/DmixPlugin - For playing audio files, see !Players and !MP3 | 03:24 |
| godzirra | Okay. So read up on ndiswrapper and set it up as an 8188? | 03:24 |
| Owner__ | do i need to connect anything to it at any moment | 03:24 |
| superfirelord42 | Owner__: not yet... this is all local... | 03:24 |
| debCarlos | superfirelord42, are he following the instruction fo the ubuntu page of floppys ? | 03:24 |
| wols | godzirra: 8187. there is a native driver for the chip but maybe not for your subtype | 03:24 |
| Bob24 | you mean this "sudo dpkg-reconfigure -phigh xserver-xorg" | 03:24 |
| debCarlos | *are* ? is | 03:24 |
| godzirra | How do I try it? | 03:24 |
| Owner__ | cos now its no connected to anything but power | 03:24 |
| superfirelord42 | debCarlos: yeah, but one floppy wont be transfered from the image, so i want to use a linux dd tool to do it | 03:24 |
| superfirelord42 | Owner__: that is fine... | 03:24 |
| Owner__ | ok | 03:25 |
| debCarlos | oh, ok :) | 03:25 |

| Owner__ | hal91 | 03:58 |
| erpo | jediknight_c2k: You probably want Terminal Server Client. | 03:58 |
| nabs | aha | 03:58 |
| superfirelord42 | Owner__: doesnt matter, it should never reach the floppy if you do it right... | 03:58 |
| Owner__ | oh ok | 03:58 |
| Owner__ | ok i f2 into set up | 03:58 |
| superfirelord42 | ok, get to boot order.... | 03:59 |
| merula | jediknight_c2k, yeah, erpo is right. Terminal Server Client is the right thing to use -- just set the "Protocol" to "RDP" or RPDv5 | 03:59 |

| Owner__ | ok | 03:59 |
| erpo | mreyebrows: I don't know mac. But maybe HTTP or SMB? | 03:59 |
| __yy__ | mreyebrows: osx can likely do NFS, might be worth looking into that | 03:59 |
| Dotted | erpo it seems to be software raid | 03:59 |
| mreyebrows | its sorta a large file | 04:00 |
| godzirra | thanks.. I'll try that and hopefully it'll work. | 04:00 |
| Owner__ | nop | 04:00 |
| superfirelord42 | Owner__: do you see netboot etherboot or anything that may hint a network device? | 04:00 |
| mreyebrows | about 4.0gb of music | 04:00 |
| erpo | Dotted: It's probably fakeraid. | 04:00 |
| superfirelord42 | Owner__: , what devices do you see? | 04:00 |
| mreyebrows | i was thinking just a direct firewire link | 04:00 |
| Owner__ | net device | 04:00 |
| mreyebrows | but i dont think xubuntu supporrts firewire | 04:00 |
| Dotted | but i didnt even install it on my raid array | 04:00 |
| Owner__ | atapi cd rom | 04:00 |
| Dotted | so why does ubuntu even touch it? | 04:00 |

| Owner__ | intel undi ,pxe -2.0 | 04:01 |
| superfirelord42 | Owner__: net device, move that first in the list.... | 04:01 |

| superfirelord42 | Owner__: we will be switching to http://hugi.to/blog/archive/2006/12/23/ubuntu-pxe-install-via-windows, it should work better and faster... the floppy way just isnt going to happen... | 04:01 |
| godzirra | Bodsda: huh.. that link didnt work for me. | 04:01 |

| __yy__ | debCarlos: you could build/install gcc 3.x manually | 04:03 |
| Awsoonn | CLI | 04:03 |

| Awsoonn | erpo: the local system is debian, | 04:04 |
| Awsoonn | sshfs is not found | 04:05 |
| debCarlos | superfirelord42, then, when i make qemu ( $ make) it will ask me wich compiler i would like to use ? | 04:05 |

| hyougin | remove*, I tried purge, dkpg etc | 04:18 |
| genii | Dotted: This is a problem in wubi which has been around a while. When it can't find a driver for the raid device it uses usually some sub-disk of it. | 04:18 |
| superfirelord42 | Owner__: , it isnt endless... its not that many... you will reach the end... i garuntee it... | 04:18 |

| hyougin | ive tried removal and complete removal and it refuses to delete | 04:19 |
| superfirelord42 | Owner__: you dont need the folder 386 though.... | 04:19 |
| __yy | Seven_Six_Two: openmosix? | 04:20 |
| nickrud | hyougin what does sudo apt-get remove --purge firefox-2 say? | 04:20 |
| erpo | Dotted: I'm not being rude. I'm helping you to use the terms that will get you good answers rather than terms that will cause people with the solution to your problem to chase down blind alleys. | 04:20 |
| genii | Dotted: I agree it is frustrating and discouraging. | 04:21 |
| hyougin | Package firefox-2 is not installed, so not removed | 04:21 |
| superfirelord42 | Owner__: you need the .cfg folder... the pxelinux.0 file, and the ubuntu installer folder | 04:21 |
| superfirelord42 | and its contents | 04:21 |

| Owner__ | ftf or ftp or what | 04:22 |
| hyougin | that didn't output anything | 04:22 |
| Dotted | possible to recover the array, you think? | 04:22 |
| erpo | Keaton: Yes. | 04:22 |
| arvind_khadri | Keaton, yeah | 04:22 |
| jediknight_c2k | and i have asked why when i do so it doesnt work. | 04:22 |
| Keaton | Alright, just wanted to make sure of that. I'm planning on nuking my XP partition and running it through VirtualBox instead. | 04:22 |
| genii | Dotted: However, the stipulation that it does not work on raid arrays is on the page https://wiki.ubuntu.com/WubiGuide if anyone ever bothers to read documentation | 04:22 |
| superfirelord42 | Owner__: you can do ftp.... not tftp... | 04:23 |
| erpo | jediknight_c2k: You need to set up the XP box as a server. | 04:23 |
| nickrud | hyougin if you have any firefox installed with synaptic, that will output the package names | 04:23 |
| hyougin | arvind_khadri, no synaptic did | 04:23 |

| hyougin | 2.0.0.15+1nobinonly-0ubuntu0.8.04.2 0 | 04:24 |
| Dotted | genii one would figure that sort of thing would be inside the program itself stating that fakeraid wont work, instead of blindly installing >_> | 04:24 |
| clowner | hi all | 04:24 |
| merula | Keaton, they make it for linux, and you can run whatever you want in it. | 04:24 |
| Seven_Six_Two | __yy, yeah, multi os one one pc...it's going to stay there indefinitely. I'm going to see if it'll work with my kernel | 04:24 |
| erpo | Keaton: VMWare has very limited support for 3D games. Very limited. | 04:24 |
| merula | clowner, welcome. | 04:24 |

| arvind_khadri | hyougin, does it say installed?? | 04:24 |
| erpo | Keaton: Do you know about wine? | 04:24 |
| clowner | i was update my ubuntu | 04:24 |
| hyougin | it says (none) | 04:24 |
| Keaton | erpo: Yeah, but it doesn't run all my games. | 04:24 |
| hyougin | but it IS installed | 04:24 |
| Awsoonn | Thanks to those who helped me, I got it goin' :) | 04:24 |

| Awsoonn | you rock! | 04:25 |
| merula | clowner, what is it you are asking about? | 04:25 |
| nickrud | hyougin what do you mean, refuse to delete then? You can run firefox, even though dpkg says none are installed? | 04:25 |
| hyougin | its in internet -> firefox | 04:25 |

| superfirelord42 | Owner__: thank g-d no.... | 04:26 |
| arvind_khadri | hyougin, as rm -rf is dangerous... | 04:26 |
| merula | hyougin, rm -rf is one of those special commands you only use when you know absolutely what the hell you are doing. | 04:26 |
| godzirra | wols: I found a linux driver from realtek for the 8187, but it refuses to compile on my machine. sigh. | 04:26 |
| arvind_khadri | CppIsWeird, iptraff | 04:26 |
| erpo | joshman10: Hibernation is finnicky. Sometimes it just doesn't work. Same with suspend. | 04:26 |
| genii | Dotted: If your win raid setup has ability to mark a drive dirty then add it back in I'd suggest to do that with the one it installed itself to. | 04:26 |
| arvind_khadri | CppIsWeird, thats iptraf | 04:26 |
| hyougin | well then how would you suggest getting rid of it | 04:26 |
| superfirelord42 | Owner__: i dont now why, but your floppies and floppy drive, is hte most picky situation i ahve seen. it just wasnt ment to happen | 04:27 |

| superfirelord42 | Owner__: anyways, netboot is really cool stuff, normall users dont use it often... but its very cool... | 04:27 |

| Owner__ | with that address | 04:28 |
| superfirelord42 | Owner__: your just not as lucky, hehe... you get the hard introduction into linux.... but once its installed, you will feel better with your system... | 04:29 |
| nickrud | hyougin aha! you are using a non ubuntu firefox package ;) | 04:29 |
| superfirelord42 | Owner__: plus all the work you put into it will make it even more interesting... | 04:29 |
| hyougin | eh? | 04:29 |
| gooody | __yy: i want to share a file from hardy to gutsy but hardy did not let me choose what to use to share the file. | 04:29 |

| hyougin | oooh, now it says no firefox | 04:30 |
| Dotted | genii but why is that? why would ubuntu touch the raid array when it isnt getting installed on it? granted windows is on the raid array, but that shouldn't make the raid array fail? :/ | 04:31 |

| hyougin | debCarlos, firefox | 04:32 |
| debCarlos | ohh | 04:32 |

| arvind_khadri | SaGe, ask your question!! | 04:32 |
| SaGe | I finally getthe desktop up and working. However, through a previous Wubi installation I could use restricted drivers for my graphics card, and they worked perfect. Now on this actual install, they don't seem to work at all. | 04:32 |
| nickrud | hyougin just one pointer, you should do your compiling in your home dir somewhere, it's easier | 04:33 |
| SaGe | I am stuck at 640X480 too, whereas before ubuntu recognized my resolution of 1440x900 | 04:33 |

| mariecpu | Is it possible to download a .deb package file of bluez-utils with all the tools enabled? Or could someone possibly create one? | 04:34 |

| debCarlos | How much time takes to compile qemu? | 04:36 |
| SaGe | arvind_khadri, what I dont understand is why it worked perfectly on the wubi installation | 04:36 |

| superfirelord42 | debCarlos: not that long i think | 04:37 |

| arvind_khadri | SaGe, :D software... my card worked with restricted drivers in 7.10 but doesnt anymore | 04:37 |
| arvind_khadri | nickrud, for which?? | 04:37 |
| nickrud | arvind_khadri firefox 3 | 04:37 |
| wols | gooody: there is no reason to use that realtek driver | 04:38 |
| wols | godzirra: r8187 for example | 04:38 |
| genii | gooody: NFS is installed already | 04:38 |
| wols | gooody: sorry, wrong tab complete | 04:38 |
| arvind_khadri | nickrud, i didnt need any as i updated from 7.10 to 8.04 the machine took care .. :) | 04:38 |
| nickrud | arvind_khadri argh, I thought you said something about compiling, I'm suffering from overscroll I think | 04:39 |
| godzirra | wols: Okay... I found the windows vista 32 bit drivers and installed them into ndisgtk | 04:39 |
| godzirra | it says Hardware present: yes | 04:39 |
| gooody | genii: but in hardy i can't choose between samba and nfs | 04:39 |
| godzirra | But if I try and configure the networks, I don't have any option for wirelesss still. | 04:39 |
| wols | godzirra: why would you use a vista driver again? | 04:40 |
| godzirra | Because gateway is stupid and doesn't have an xp driver for the 8199 | 04:40 |
| arvind_khadri | nickrud, :) i dont compile much..as i did once and faced a hell lot of trouble | 04:40 |
| godzirra | and the 8187 I couldnt get to compile with the linux drivers. | 04:40 |
| godzirra | And I can't find any 8199 drivers for anything other than vista. | 04:40 |
| nickrud | arvind_khadri likewise. Why else use debian/ubuntu ;) | 04:40 |
| pyCube | anybody know how the stinking "complete" command works in, say, tcsh or bash? | 04:41 |
| superfirelord42 | Owner__: did you get the files dl'd? | 04:41 |
| arvind_khadri | nickrud, thinking of getting goubuntu/gentoo :) | 04:41 |
| wols | godzirra: never ever use linux manufacturer drivers. and there is an open r8187 | 04:41 |
| wols | and last but not least, run update-pciids | 04:41 |
| godzirra | let me google some more. I must have missed it I guess. | 04:41 |
| arvind_khadri | nickrud, shall we pm | 04:41 |
| mariecpu | http://paste.ubuntu.com/27889/ - can anyone help me sort out this compile error? | 04:42 |

| godzirra | the modifued ones on the datanorth site don't compile for me for some reason. | 04:43 |
| owner | tryied on all two machines already no luck | 04:43 |

| superfirelord42 | owner did you try simply opening it on internet explorer? | 04:43 |

| owner | its har to get the file from ie i can not even remember to file structure after two or thre lin k deep | 04:45 |

| superfirelord42 | owner it works for me... | 04:48 |
| wols | godzirra: yes | 04:48 |
| godzirra | r8187 is the name? | 04:48 |
| superfirelord42 | noooooo it doesnt, mine gave a time estimate of 16 hours... | 04:48 |
| wols | and the !errors thing was about the datanorth compilation thing btw | 04:48 |
| superfirelord42 | that should take 16 minutes | 04:48 |
| jediknight_c2k | ok i'm gonna go try that.... | 04:48 |
| godzirra | Ah, gotcha,. | 04:49 |
| owner | iknow works for me too only in IE the same link | 04:49 |
| godzirra | sorry. | 04:49 |
| godzirra | you said not to use the drivers from realtek | 04:49 |
| godzirra | so I wasn't sure what the errors thing was for. Sorry. | 04:49 |
| genii | gooody: I'm currently on 8.04 kde3 so can't check it here in Gnome right now. But it has NFS as an option in my sharing section. | 04:49 |
| superfirelord42 | owner i dont know what to tell you, i dont know a way to get them other than down them one by one... | 04:49 |
| godzirra | Hrm.. it says the r8187 module is now rtl8187 and is included in the kernel. | 04:50 |
| owner | i will see if it lets me into root then i will navigate my way to netboot | 04:50 |
| arvind_khadri | `Bleu, just check up whether its there in the 7.10 repo or not | 04:50 |
| superfirelord42 | owner, ok... | 04:51 |
| godzirra | I hate to be that dumb noob... | 04:51 |
| Bodsda | how can i make panel applets (python) ? | 04:51 |
| godzirra | but all the links I've found either say its already in the kernel and should work (I g et an error when trying to load the .ko) or it says to download the driver from realtek | 04:51 |
| `Bleu | arvind_khadri: I dont think it is, thats why i was wondering if there is a different way to get it working | 04:51 |
| arvind_khadri | godzirra, dont feel so...everyone needs time to learn | 04:51 |

| owner | oh hild on a munit | 04:53 |
| wols | godzirra: no. you're not listening | 04:53 |
| godzirra | You say not to use the realtek drivers f rom realtek, but the r8187 drivers. All the google pages I've turned up say that the drivers are either in the kernel already, or to download them from realtke. | 04:53 |

| junior | can anyone help me with a kiba dock problem? i cant find it for a 64bit ubuntu | 04:55 |
| owner | i am getting netboot.tar | 04:55 |
| wols | junior: probably need to compile it yourself | 04:55 |
| Amgine | ah... not sure I can help with that Bodsda. | 04:55 |
| superfirelord42 | owner: from where? | 04:55 |
| Bodsda | junior, why not just install the 32 bit version? | 04:55 |

| owner | now what | 04:57 |
| godzirra | I used the vista drivers and loaded them with ndisgtk, and it says it saw the hardware. I've not tried the realtek drivers because you have said not to use them, and I can't find any other drivers. | 04:57 |
| arvind_khadri | `Bleu, i cant open them ,...i hate this ISP.. wait for a few mins... | 04:57 |
| owner | ok\ | 04:57 |
| godzirra | If you will tell me how to find the exact revision of the chip, I will be happy to do whatever I can to get this to work. I appreciate your help and I'm sorry oyu're getting frustrated at me, but I just don't understand what I'm supposed to be doing at this point. | 04:57 |

| wols | Pence: don't run cups | 04:58 |
| godzirra | You told me to use the opensource driver. Which I can't find, and then you told me to find out the exact revision of the chip, and I asked how. | 04:58 |
| junior | so should i uninstall this 64 bit ubuntu and install the other one(i think 32bit) and will it still work on a core2quad computer? also sorry for those who i offended by messeging them, didnt realize it would offend anyone | 04:58 |

| homoswami | can we talk in another room? the noise in here is killin' me | 04:59 |
| superfirelord42 | yeah, but are all the stuff in the folder? | 04:59 |
| bobertdos | homoswami: certainly | 04:59 |

| Driv3r912 | I have a problem starting Ubuntu. Once in a while, my system boots and the passes the USplash screen, after that, it goes blank. Sometime restarting multiple times or moving my mouse before the logon screen appears makes it stop, other times, it boots normally. Any ideas anyone? | 05:02 |
| superfirelord42 | owner: hold on, im reading it... | 05:02 |
| owner | got the file in there though | 05:02 |
| wols | rigel: you might need current, newer fglrx drivers than those in hardy | 05:02 |
| godzirra | wols: So what am I supposed to be doing? I can't find any open source 8187 driver, I don't know how to get the exact chipset of the card, ndiswrapper says the hardware is there (with vista drivers) but doesn't work, and you say I'm not supposed to use the linux driver from realtek. | 05:02 |
| erpo | junior: Unless you have more than 4GB of memory or you know you absolutely must have 64 bit, you should go with 32 bit. | 05:02 |
| rigel | wols: will i be able to get fglrx from apt-get? is there a filename? | 05:03 |
| superfirelord42 | owner, do you see pxelinux.0 in the folder? | 05:03 |
| Jack_Sparrow | junior Stick with 32 | 05:03 |
| debCarlos | man, i just readed the thing of the bot, xDDDD | 05:03 |
| owner | yeah 14kb | 05:04 |
| junior | what if i have 4 gb of memory? should i still use the 32bit ubuntu? also, is there an easier way to change the 64bit to 32 bit or do i just have to uninstall and reinstall? | 05:04 |
| arvind_khadri | debCarlos, you seem to be a non english speaker :) | 05:04 |
| wols | rigel: not a newer than what is in hardy already | 05:04 |
| superfirelord42 | owner, start tftp | 05:04 |
| owner | its on | 05:04 |
| superfirelord42 | do you know your network settings? | 05:04 |
| owner | i have to find out not off the top of my head | 05:05 |
| owner | if you know what i mean | 05:05 |
| junior | what if i have 4 gb of memory? should i still use the 32bit ubuntu? also, is there an easier way to change the 64bit to 32 bit or do i just have to uninstall and reinstall? | 05:05 |
| jediknight_c2k | so... terminal server client, now getting connection refused... any ideas why? | 05:06 |
| debCarlos | <arvind_khadri>: yep :) | 05:06 |
| superfirelord42 | owner: put in 192.168.33.100 for a start address, set the pool size to 5, bootfile to pxelinux.0... do not yet click save... | 05:06 |
| Jack_Sparrow | junior create a sep /home, life will be easier | 05:06 |
| superfirelord42 | owner: look up your dns server on your current windows machine... | 05:06 |
| superfirelord42 | and put that in... | 05:06 |
| genii | junior: if your cpu is 64 bit use 64 bit install. All 4Gb will be seen. If qa 32 bit cpu use server install and then install ubuntu-desktop. 4gb will still get seen | 05:06 |
| arvind_khadri | debCarlos, could see that in your grammar...dont mind it but it should be "I read about the bot thing" | 05:06 |
| pyrourk | hi to all =) | 05:06 |

| superfirelord42 | nck: reinstall hte sudoers package? or i think if you run visudoers it will recreate it... | 05:14 |
| Jack_Sparrow | nck look for .Trash in root since it had to be removed with root access | 05:14 |
| owner | thats w00t | 05:14 |
| superfirelord42 | nck: did you delete it with the rm command? | 05:14 |
| Jack_Sparrow | junior Install 32 bit.. at least until you get more comfortable. You can have both installed.. 32 and 64 | 05:15 |
| superfirelord42 | owner, set hte size of pool to 5..... is there anything we did not fill except for additional option? | 05:15 |
| owner | nop | 05:16 |
| nck | i try | 05:16 |
| junior | Jack_sparrow: but would that be a waste of Hard Drive? should i just install the 32bit and be done with that? because i really dont see me using the 64bit if 32bit is easier | 05:16 |
| superfirelord42 | owner: is your windows firewall running? | 05:16 |
| bullgard4 | "man autoconf - Generate configuration scripts." What are 'configuration scripts' for? | 05:17 |
| debCarlos | <gooody>: Try running as root # ifconfig | grep -m 1 -i "inet addr" .... your ip is the number after inet addr :) | 05:17 |
| owner | i hope so | 05:17 |
| owner | heh he | 05:17 |
| Jack_Sparrow | junior many people run multiple linux's one to keep as stable and one for experimenting. hard drive space is not the premium that it once was | 05:17 |
| superfirelord42 | owner, flip over to the tftp srever tab... | 05:17 |
| owner | to | 05:17 |
| debCarlos | *"inet addr" | 05:17 |
| superfirelord42 | owner... although i hate to say this.. it may have to go down for a short while... it may block the dhcp and tftp | 05:17 |

| superfirelord42 | hyde: any luck? | 06:02 |
| Reformer81 | Bodsda: But even after changing to ALSA, this same issue stuck around. | 06:02 |

| genii | superfirelord42: Not in repos. Although searching for "citrix" results are rdesktop and tsclient | 06:06 |
| legend2440 | godzirra: only way to tell if you have 8189 or 8187L or 8187B is to physically look at the card. once you know that you may be able to find a how to for that specific card | 06:06 |
| raymond | superfirelord42: i would really be thankful if you hlp me how to install it | 06:06 |

| superfirelord42 | ah, raymond, open a terminal | 06:07 |
| banisterfiend | Bodsda: so what do i do about sound not working in audacity? someone said DE had bloated, or 'pulse' stolen my sound, or something about osund servers, wtf? | 06:07 |
| MagicMarkerPen | Any one know of any solutions to the problem with JMB361 raid controller, Please help me I have been pulling my hair out for the last 18 hours | 06:07 |
| raymond | ok | 06:08 |
| sysop1972 | genii : I have all the users installed. I guess the next thing is to modify the smb.conf? | 06:08 |
| raymond | superfirelord42: ok | 06:08 |
| superfirelord42 | raymond: mkdir citrixinstall && cd citrixinstall | 06:08 |
| Bodsda | banisterfiend, try this, close audacity, in a terminal run killall pulseaudio open audacity and try and play something | 06:08 |

| Blade_Wizard_Fal | i am looking for a way to have a music player ( i currently use Rhythmbox) on random/shuffle, but still allow for manually selecting the next song, or even creating a playlist, then going back to random when the playlist is empty...anyone know if this is possible, and how? | 06:09 |
| superfirelord42 | raymond: do you already have hte file downlaoded? | 06:09 |
| superfirelord42 | *downloaded | 06:09 |
| genii | sysop1972: Yes. So in this case you want a share section for each directory you made there which you want to specify allowed users, who can read or write there, and invalid users, etc | 06:09 |
| raymond | superfirelord42 yeah | 06:09 |
| superfirelord42 | Owner__: have you turned off the firewall | 06:09 |
| superfirelord42 | raymond: what dir is it in? | 06:10 |
| superfirelord42 | on your desktop? | 06:10 |
| raymond | superfirelord42: desktop | 06:10 |
| MagicMarkerPen | superfirelord42, Have you tryed xbmc its avalible as a deb package | 06:10 |
| superfirelord42 | raymond, what is it called? | 06:10 |
| superfirelord42 | xbmc? im assuming its a citrix alternate? | 06:10 |
| superfirelord42 | MagicMarkerPen: is that a citrix alternate? | 06:10 |
| Bodsda | Blade_Wizard_Fal, i wouldnt have thought so, not without manually coding something, when its on shuffle it will shuffle your playlist aswell | 06:11 |
| raymond | superfirelord42: there are 4 files | 06:11 |
| superfirelord42 | what is the tar.gz file? | 06:11 |
| superfirelord42 | what is it called? | 06:11 |
| Reformer81 | If I install Firefox 3 will it affect my Firefox 2 in any way? | 06:11 |
| sysop1972 | ok well i have the smb.conf file open. can you give me an example? I have a user named james and a folder named sales that I would like him to have access to. | 06:11 |
| raymond | setup.wfc | 06:12 |
| Bodsda | Reformer81, it should replace the browser but keep the settings | 06:12 |
| Sorres | hello. i downloaded my sound card driver wich is a tar.gz package, i extract it to my deskotop and run the installer, but when i press the run in terminal the terminal doesnt show. | 06:12 |
| banisterfiend | Bodsda: that didn't work :( ok here's what happened, my fren opened up a 250mb file in gimp..and i kind of crashed my system...every since then things have been acting weird, like i can't click synaptic from the menu anymore it says 'can't grab mouse error' or something like that, and programs seem to be running slower, and now this audacity thing....does it all sound related? really gnome/x-windows is starting to run really sl | 06:12 |
| banisterfiend | ow and crappy and less programs work properly everyday. what does it sound like to you? | 06:12 |
| Blade_Wizard_Fal | Bodsda: yea, i was just hoping that someone might no a way...or maybe a specific music player that would allow something along those lines... | 06:12 |
| raymond | superfirelord42: setupwfc | 06:12 |
| Reformer81 | Bodsda: Crap | 06:12 |
| Reformer81 | Bodsda: Then I'm screwed. | 06:12 |
| Bodsda | Blade_Wizard_Fal, not to my knowledge, sorry | 06:12 |
| genii | sysop1972: http://www.cyberciti.biz/tips/how-do-i-set-permissions-to-samba-shares.html has some simpler examples. There are other options you can specify to narrow down what rights other users have or don't have there as well | 06:12 |
| Bodsda | Reformer81, why? | 06:12 |
| Blade_Wizard_Fal | bodsda: thats alright...ill keep looking..thank you | 06:13 |
| superfirelord42 | raymond: fine... mv ~/Desktop/TheNamesOfThe4Files ./ | 06:13 |
| Reformer81 | Bodsda: Because I wanted both installed. | 06:13 |
| Bodsda | banisterfiend, it only sounds related in the sense that something went wrong and you have no idea what it was. I dont know a fix as we have no erros, maybe a reinstall | 06:14 |
| spiderfire | Reformer81: you can make another user | 06:14 |
| raymond | superfirelord42: thats all | 06:14 |
| raymond | superfirelord42 thanks | 06:14 |
| spiderfire | Reformer81: have a seperate config in your homdir for each browser | 06:14 |
| Bodsda | Reformer81, thats easy enough, just download it from the firefox website and compile it, when u click on the compiled version youll get FF£, when u click it from the menu ul get FF2 -- why do you want both? | 06:14 |
| Reformer81 | Crap, guys... I need help. I just installed Firefox 3 because some jerk in #firefox said it would be safe to do without it affecting my FF2 at all. Now FF2 no longer has all my bookmarks and settings. What can I do to fix this? | 06:14 |
| superfirelord42 | raymond: its not done | 06:14 |
| raymond | superfirelord42: oh | 06:15 |
| superfirelord42 | raymond: sudo aptitude install libxaw6 libmotif3 | 06:15 |
| superfirelord42 | raymond: we have to install several things, then run setup... | 06:15 |
| Reformer81 | Bodsda: Because I'm comfortable with FF2; everything works. I wanted to try out FF3 before completely making the switch. | 06:15 |
| spiderfire | Reformer81: 2 users, 2 configs, 2 browsers | 06:15 |
| Reformer81 | Bodsda: But it's too late now... it's all screwed up. | 06:15 |
| superfirelord42 | Owner__: ? | 06:15 |
| Reformer81 | spiderfire: That's really kind of defeating the purpose. I shouldn't have to completely change users just to use a different browser. | 06:15 |
| gigo | can anyone help how to create DMZ security? | 06:15 |
| Bodsda | Reformer81, you should back up ~/.mozilla then install FF£ from repo's if you dont like it uninstall it reinstall FF2 and replace the ~/.mozilla folder | 06:16 |
| Owner__ | hey | 06:16 |
| Bodsda | s/£/3 | 06:16 |
| superfirelord42 | raymond: tell me when that command completes... | 06:16 |
| Reformer81 | Bodsda: Well, I already installed it because I was told FF3 used a different config directory. | 06:16 |
| superfirelord42 | Owner__: did you turn off hte firewall on that machine? | 06:16 |
| Owner__ | just jigling with the machine a bit | 06:16 |
| Owner__ | yeah | 06:16 |
| Owner__ | i id | 06:16 |
| Bodsda | gigo, DMZ security??? DMZ is Demiliterized zone -- which is no security | 06:16 |
| Owner__ | did still nothing no logs nothing | 06:16 |
| raymond | superfirelord42: i already install those files | 06:16 |
| superfirelord42 | Owner__: ok, try rebooting again.. and watch the dhcp tab.... | 06:17 |
| Bodsda | Reformer81, i believe it does | 06:17 |
| superfirelord42 | raymond: then sudo ./setupwfc | 06:17 |
| Owner__ | restarting that machine to see i dont knowif it will help | 06:17 |
| Reformer81 | Bodsda: It didn't. That's what I'm saying. After running FF3, it immediately starting asking for settings for all my FF2 extensions. When I quit FF3 and started up FF2, all my extensions were gone. | 06:17 |

| raymond | superfirelord42: is there like a guide step by step becasue i think you are to advace to linux than me | 06:20 |
| bogeyman | i cant remember lol | 06:20 |
| Bodsda | bogeyman, i know you can use chmod +w file to add write permissions, maybe try chmod -w file | 06:20 |
| superfirelord42 | raymond: what happened? | 06:21 |
| bogeyman | ye i did that but it would not work | 06:21 |
| raymond | superfirelord42: so i kind of confuse and lost | 06:21 |

| bogeyman | how can u make it so root cant write to a file then | 06:24 |
| genii | Owner__: It's supposed to use the network adapter to try and load an operating system | 06:24 |
| Bodsda | bogeyman, sudo chmod a-w file | 06:24 |
| superfirelord42 | Owner__: basicly, netboot gets an ip from the server and asks if there is a boot file for it... | 06:24 |

| ripps | pvl1: Also, in menu editor, the icons are all there. The only place the icons are missing is in menus. | 06:53 |
| pvl1 | ripps, hm. never heard of that. check the forums for something like it | 06:53 |
| pvl1 | ripps, could the icons have changed ownership? | 06:54 |
| mechdave | Viking669, What I always do is back up all my stuff and then do a new install to avoid stuff like that | 06:54 |
| ripps | pvl1: No, I think is something to do with how gnome is cacheing the icons. | 06:54 |

| keeper_fx | superfirelord42: any other ideas? | 07:04 |
| superfirelord42 | keeper_fx: is it ext3? | 07:04 |
| debCarlos | kcman: with $ chmod a+x | 07:04 |
| Light- | tyler_: yes, unless gvfs does its magic (I think it temp mounts it or something) | 07:05 |
| kcman | debCarlos all i put was "chmod name.bin | 07:05 |
| superfirelord42 | keeper_fx: lilo may work... despite the fact it is old and is used way less... | 07:05 |
| pvl1 | ffiarpg, i think you should try configuring mouse device, as the stylus kinda thing. is that what you were essentially trying to do? | 07:05 |
| keeper_fx | superfirelord42: yes, i can use it | 07:05 |

| Light- | tyler_: PM me its easier to help in PM | 07:06 |
| debCarlos | kcman: for change it perms you have to type a+x... chmod a+x filename.bin ... remember, replace filename.bin with the name of the bin you're triying to run :) | 07:06 |
| ffiarpg | pvl1: i think so, i am trying to get ubuntu to recognise my tablet pen and allow me to write and draw with it, as well as use it instead of a mouse | 07:06 |
| superfirelord42 | keeper_fx: i think, if you know how to install it, you may want to try lilo on hte usb... it may work... | 07:06 |
| pvl1 | cckk, the only way i remember of doing something like this was using JACk, which was a problem to set up, but i remember that there was some utility to remap stuff on it. | 07:07 |

| mechdave | error404notfound, hang on mate be with you directly | 07:08 |
| pvl1 | cckk, np | 07:08 |
| debCarlos | kcman: ok, it was just for be sure... you're sure $ sh give you an error? Try with $ /bin/sh filename.bin :) | 07:08 |
| keeper_fx | superfirelord42: if lilo wont work then worse thing that happens is i reformat and have my 8 gigs back ;p | 07:08 |

| HPI_Fred | awww well im having trouble with getting ubuntu to recognize my 7800 gtx since i did the kernel and driver update | 07:09 |
| HPI_Fred | it wont even recognize the driver now( it did when i first did it but wouldnt use it) | 07:09 |
| superfirelord42 | Owner__: i hope this works, im running out of time... its later over here... | 07:09 |
| kcman | debCarlos yeah i typed "$ sh filename.bin" and got error so i will do you new command and see if that one works | 07:09 |
| pvl1 | ffiarpg, oh, well good luck, but i think that you literally have to make the mouse device be a stylus. also if you downoad files/drivers i think that xorg need to read them in the files section | 07:09 |

| ffiarpg | pvl1: yeah this does seem like it will be fairly complicated, i may just have to find someone who has the same os and same computer as me, there is a youtube video demonstrating it so i know it can be done, ill see what i can do | 07:11 |
| andresj | hey has anybody else experienced this? I have desktop effects enabled. I have ehanced magnifier enabled. I Meta-Scroll so that its zoomed in. I Meta-Lock so that I can work properly. But the pointer doesn't work as expected. It seems that it only makes it look like its locked, but its actually moving as if it wasnt. | 07:11 |

| HPI_Fred | which one was that pvll | 07:19 |
| pvl1 | mechdave, did ug et that? | 07:19 |
| HPI_Fred | im sorry pvl1 | 07:19 |
| superfirelord42 | Owner__: only other ideas i have, is burn a cd and put it in another computer, then you can use dd to make the floppies... | 07:19 |
| pvl1 | CompCrash, oh ew. idk, did u check the forums? | 07:19 |
| superfirelord42 | Owner__: or some fancy tricks with a usb drive... | 07:19 |
| pvl1 | HPI_Fred, ? | 07:19 |

| HPI_Fred | when i checked and restarted took me to a blank sccreen | 07:20 |
| unohu | hi..please recommend a voip client compatible with google talk...... | 07:20 |
| andresj | really, nobody has experienced this bug I described? Compiz's Enhanced Magnifier locking function only locking the visuals, but not locking the pointer? | 07:20 |
| === max is now known as Guest60503 | ||
| pvl1 | HPI_Fred, what does "glxinfo | grep rendering" say? | 07:21 |
| HPI_Fred | and wbmj i have a geforce 7800 gtx-two actually and they were running in sli before this happened | 07:21 |
| superfirelord42 | Owner__: well, basicly, cd idea means you get a ubuntu cd, run it on one of your desktops, and use dd to create the floppies instead of creating them from windows | 07:21 |
| HPI_Fred | give me a moment and ill let you know | 07:21 |
| Owner__ | will i now be able to like use the driv of another machine | 07:21 |
| bob3213243 | bodsda no one is there? | 07:21 |
| Owner__ | anybody ever try that | 07:21 |
| genii | andresj: They may know far more about compiz bugs and idiosyncracies in the channel #compiz-fusion | 07:21 |
| pvl1 | unohu, first 3 links http://www.google.com/search?source=ig&hl=en&rlz=&=&q=ubuntu+voip+google+talk&btnG=Google+Search | 07:21 |
| bob3213243__ | are there any sites that support girls in ubuntu? things themes, icons and walls? | 07:21 |
| debCarlos | Owner__: i don't think so... anyway, maybe you can find more in google :) | 07:21 |
| superfirelord42 | Owner__: or the usb idea, requires a minimal linux distro, like hal91, and basicly concerns moving a bigger distro from the usb, do a small partition of your hard disk... and booting from it... | 07:21 |
| pvl1 | andresj, what? | 07:22 |
| Owner__ | ican do that as long as it can help et ubuntu on the gateay | 07:22 |

| cckk | pvl1: jack is a pre alsa driver processor/ how would i tell alsa driver to change the mic input to an out put | 07:22 |

| andresj | pvl1: u know the enhanced magnifier? Meta+scroll wheel? | 07:22 |
| Owner__ | ok so live cd then what | 07:23 |
| HPI_Fred | here is what it says pvl1: direct rendering: No (If you want to find out why, try setting LIBGL_DEBUG=verbose) | 07:23 |
| bob3213243 | bodsda no one is talking | 07:23 |
| mechdave | duum, don't worry if some of those directories don't exist on your system | 07:23 |
| pvl1 | cckk, well the thing is, what i did was i igot jack running, and i found an app that remmapped mysuff, but im pretty sure that jack sits on top of alsa | 07:23 |
| mechdave | duum, http://paste.ubuntu.com/27923/ | 07:23 |
| genii | gnomefreak: I'm tempted now to /nick kdefreak | 07:23 |
| Owner__ | i stall it first on that machine | 07:23 |
| mechdave | duum, that should help you out | 07:23 |
| superfirelord42 | Owner__: basicly, you browse your drive from the live cd (and get a first expirence with ubuntu) | 07:23 |
| gnomefreak | genii: i dont have it anymore | 07:23 |
| Bodsda | bob3213243, thats different to no one is there | 07:23 |
| superfirelord42 | Owner__: and from the live cd, you create your floppies..... using your images on your hard disk... | 07:23 |
| Owner__ | yeh i was thinking of doing that | 07:23 |
| genii | gnomefreak: Hah :) | 07:23 |
| Owner__ | go on | 07:24 |
| pvl1 | andresj, yea? | 07:24 |

| dave11 | I cant get the language translator to work, does any body have any ideas on how to fix it? | 07:26 |
| superfirelord42 | Owner__: and thats another advantage... you get to learn about linux from the live cd | 07:26 |
| pvl1 | HPI_Fred, check what | 07:26 |
| Owner__ | yeah i reckon | 07:26 |
| mechdave | duum, an easy way to do it would be to chown -R root:root /var again and then just step through the paste and just change the files of different ownership | 07:26 |
| superfirelord42 | Owner__: the livecd is equipted with pidgin so you can even use irc in it... | 07:26 |
| andresj | pvl1: can you try it please? I think this is a problem in the software and i wanna see if its not only me. (btw by locking i mean that the screen doesnt move with the mouse) | 07:27 |
| bob3213243 | anyone know of any sites that have themes and icons for girls? | 07:27 |
| pvl1 | cckk, jackeq in synaptic | 07:27 |

| Owner__ | i learned alot too | 07:31 |
| Owner__ | thx | 07:31 |
| superfirelord42 | Owner__: i once heard someone wanted linux installed, booted it with a floppy, transfered the drivers over seriel cable... | 07:31 |
| mechdave | duum, dd will do stuff like ghost have a look at man dd | 07:31 |
| HPI_Fred | driver just says nvidia | 07:31 |
| persian_x | bullgard4: Ive never heard of that, what is it? | 07:31 |
| duum | mechdave: i don't work as root... i just had a user ask me to give him access to his files.. i was thinking ok- no problem and chown'd all of var instead of /var/his_dir (www directory) | 07:31 |

| mechdave | duum, Oops :( | 07:31 |
| pvl1 | andresj, np. compiz is so much fun wif all the settings | 07:31 |
| wbmj | HPI_Fred : ok add Load "dri" to the Module Section | 07:31 |
| Evan__ | does any one know where there is a list of "features requests" for Nautilus ...that people actually listen to? | 07:31 |
| bullgard4 | persian_x: Please search Synaptic for 'flash'. I do not know by heart. | 07:32 |
| duum | mechdave: exactly. i did it twice too. for for hidden stuff .* | 07:32 |
| mechdave | duum, is that on a server? | 07:32 |
| Owner__ | ust nda confuses me so i rather like to be helped throught it mu first time | 07:32 |
| HPI_Fred | wbmj there is no module section | 07:32 |
| pvl1 | HPI_Fred, uhm. do u know how to make it load dri? | 07:32 |
| andresj | pvl1: lol as opposed to GNOME's simpicity you mean, no? :) | 07:32 |
| persian_x | bullgard4: Thanks | 07:32 |
| duum | mechdave: yea. it is on co-located vm (xen i think, or it will be soon). | 07:32 |
| HPI_Fred | no i dont pvl1 and i honestly dont see a modules section there at all | 07:32 |
| pc04_ | anjing | 07:33 |
| duum | mechdave: it is basically shared between me and another. | 07:33 |
| mscott | # join/ubuntu-fr | 07:33 |
| pvl1 | well its like built on top of gnome and the others. its like the whipped cream on a cake. but yes, gnome is very plain without compiz | 07:33 |
| pvl1 | HPI_Fred, one sec | 07:33 |
| mechdave | duum, so you have set up a virtual machine with ubuntu? | 07:33 |
| A[D]minS | if i want to run task everyday @ 7am ... this is the correct crontab line ? --> * 7 * * * task | 07:33 |
| A[D]minS | ? | 07:33 |
| duum | mechdave: actually i'm just using a commercial service (linode) | 07:33 |
| wbmj | HPI_Fred ; looks like thats your problem You will need to add a Module Section to xorg.conf with Load "dri" | 07:34 |
| bullgard4 | genii: Where is "Bus, slot, sub-device" documented? | 07:34 |
| pvl1 | HPI_Fred, y do u need dri btw? | 07:34 |
| mechdave | duum, Ah righto, I host my own machines in my place | 07:34 |
| HPI_Fred | you said to check for it pvl1 | 07:34 |
| pvl1 | wbmj, what about the glx and gl core? | 07:34 |
| HPI_Fred | i said it isnt on there | 07:34 |
| duum | mechdave: the host is unknown to me- the guests can be whatever you like, ubuntu, debian, etc. they have smaller images too for some distributions like debian. | 07:34 |
| pvl1 | HPI_Fred, i think that was wbmj that asked | 07:34 |
| debCarlos | Owner__: man, i forgot, but we should have given to superfirelord42 a cookie like: | 07:35 |
| Slart | A[D]minS: hmm.. no.. something like * 7 0 0 0 .. or else it would run every second where the hour is 7 | 07:35 |
| debCarlos | !cookie | 07:35 |
| ubottu | Wow! You're such a great helper, you deserve a cookie! | 07:35 |
| A[D]minS | ahaaa | 07:35 |
| A[D]minS | ok | 07:35 |
| HPI_Fred | im sorry i was wrong wbmj said that my mistake | 07:35 |
| wbmj | pvl1: Glxgears won't run for HP until dri is present | 07:35 |
| duum | mechdave: i've found it is allot easier to outsource the hosting so to speak. not having to worry about hardware is great. plus you get a really fast connection. | 07:35 |
| === Guest79973 is now known as max | ||
| HPI_Fred | i have no idea what dri is | 07:35 |
| HPI_Fred | let alone why i need to enable it | 07:35 |
| A[D]minS | Slart: so it should be * 7 0 0 0 ? | 07:35 |
| nck | ubuntu 8.04.1 unable connect to windows network, nothing show up in network windows. help | 07:35 |
| A[D]minS | or 0 7 * * | 07:35 |
| mechdave | duum, that is pretty cool, You would need a bit of horsepower to run several vm's on a server tho :) | 07:36 |
| === max is now known as Guest6389 | ||
| pvl1 | wbmj, i mean in addition to dri | 07:36 |
| Slart | A[D]minS: sorry.. I got it backwards.. 0 7 * * * | 07:36 |
| A[D]minS | Slart: or 0 7 * * * < --- ? | 07:36 |
| A[D]minS | ok 0 to make it 0 minute and 7 hour every day .,, every month ? | 07:36 |
| duum | mechdave: yea, that is why i'm not hosting a bunch of vm's. they have that all setup. makes everything allot easier. | 07:36 |
| genii | bullgard4: man lspci has some info and futher resources. There may be some online reference but offhand I don't know where | 07:36 |
| wbmj | pcl1: the new xorg doesn't necessarily need all the modules loaded | 07:36 |
| pvl1 | mechdave, how much hp are we talking about? | 07:36 |
| Slart | A[D]minS: yes.. all days, all weeks, all months, when hour is 7 and minutes is 0 | 07:37 |
| mechdave | duum, yeah speed is good, I am only on a adsl2 connection, ok for people to access it in Asia/Aust but rest of the world not so god | 07:37 |
| mechdave | duum, good | 07:37 |
| bullgard4 | genii: I did consult 'man lspci' before. -- Thank you. | 07:37 |
| duum | mechdave: you know the other thing is if you aren't doing much with what you have and want complete control this is the only way to go. | 07:37 |
| Slart | A[D]minS: I think man crontab has quite a few examples is you need more info | 07:38 |
| mechdave | pvl1, I am not sure, but when I last tried running a vm it took alot of processor power to do it | 07:38 |
| duum | mechdave: that is if you don't want to run a server... | 07:38 |
| HPI_Fred | im still lost wbmj and pvl1 have you both given up on me? lol | 07:38 |
| A[D]minS | Slart: ok thx :) | 07:38 |
| Owner__ | what | 07:38 |
| duum | mechdave: servers are allot of work... | 07:38 |
| mechdave | duum, yeah, I like the challenge of the hardware and software sides myself | 07:38 |
| pvl1 | mechdave, just that i have a ubuntu server right next to my main pc (dual) and i was thinking about trying it | 07:38 |
| pvl1 | HPI_Fred, i jjust thought wbmj took over | 07:39 |
| HPI_Fred | oh lol well he might have | 07:39 |
| mechdave | pvl1, you could try it, I don't know how the new ones are now! | 07:39 |
| HPI_Fred | im not sure what to do to add a dri module or if i even need to is all i dont know what dri is | 07:39 |
| Owner__ | ok i am out | 07:39 |
| duum | mechdave: what do you do? i'm not against it... i have a server sitting here besides me that isn't on cause i haven't had the time or cash to replace a hard drive that is dead. just don't have time for everything. | 07:40 |
| wbmj | HPI_Fred: it might be better for you to type man xorg in terminal.....a little reading can be helpful | 07:40 |
| pvl1 | HPI_Fred, add this anywhere in your xorg.conf: http://paste.ubuntu.com/27927/ | 07:40 |

| CompCrash | pvl1, thanks. ill let you be now. you look busy. | 07:51 |
| HPI_Fred | wbmj but if i have my old config file that still doesnt solve problem of why the drivers arent working after being updated and with the updated kernel...even if it did it probably still wouldnt work right | 07:51 |

| HPI_Fred | i apologize for being such a pain | 07:51 |
| mechdave | dave11, or maybe the README has a list | 07:51 |

| Josdell | Hi everyone, I'm getting a White Screen Of Death when the LiveCD tries to boot, It is an ASUS Motherboard, AMD Athlon CPU, and a ATI Radeon Xpress 1250 Graphics card. It is a customized Live Cd that I'm trying to boot, but I've tested the CD and Install on other computers and it works fine, any ideas? | 07:53 |
| pvl1 | HPI_Fred, have u tried envy by anychance? | 07:53 |
| HPI_Fred | yes | 07:53 |
| Light- | Josdell: what about booting inti safe graphics mode? | 07:53 |
| Light- | *into | 07:53 |
| HPI_Fred | when i installed nvidia glx from synaptics it removed some envy files | 07:53 |
| wbmj | HPI_Fred: then you should compare the two files...if the nVidia driver is in the backup the just rename it xorg.conf and delete the newer one | 07:54 |
| Josdell | Light- I know I might have to do that, but what would I do from there? | 07:54 |
| HPI_Fred | but then i went back and uninstalled glx and then used evnyng to reinstall latest driver....works worse | 07:54 |
| Josdell | Light- Is safe graphics mode the terminal correct? | 07:54 |
| pvl1 | cckk, sudo apt-get install jackd | 07:55 |
| Light- | Josdell: It appears that none of the graphics drivers on your LiveCD will work with that card, or if they do, they arent getting detected. You need to use the VESA driver | 07:55 |
| cckk | pvl1: thanks ill get right back | 07:55 |
| === Guest60504 is now known as max | ||
| dave11 | mechdave: found it thanks again! | 07:55 |
| pvl1 | Josdell, if its customized it might not have the right ati stuff installed. ati is really annoying to set up sometimes | 07:55 |
| HPI_Fred | wbmj i wouldnt even know where or how to begin to even find the files to compare them | 07:55 |
| === max is now known as Guest82947 | ||
| Light- | Josdell: Try it and see, I thought it booted using no framebuffer and using vesa graphics drivers | 07:56 |
| Josdell | Light- i manually installed ATI Catalyst Drivers for the Radeon Graphics card, but yeah it probably has to do with that, yeah ATI can be a you know what | 07:56 |
| Light- | royal PITA | 07:56 |
| * Light- used to own an ati card | 07:56 | |
| wbmj | HPI_Fred both xorg.conf and the backup are in /etc/X11/ | 07:56 |
| mechdave | dave11, no worries m8te | 07:56 |
| Josdell | Light- When I'm in safe graphics mode, would I use Ubuntu as normal? right? | 07:58 |
| Light- | Josdell: There would be no hardware acceleration, and you might not be able to use high resolutions | 07:58 |
| Josdell | Yeah I get that, but when I install Ubuntu onto the Computer, Ubuntu would run fine correct? | 07:58 |
| cckk | !jackd | 07:59 |
| ubottu | Sorry, I don't know anything about jackd | 07:59 |
| Light- | Josdell: Sorry I cant say for sure, but I imagine so, once you get the ati driver up and running | 07:59 |
| Josdell | cckk: you should look around the forums for info for jackd | 07:59 |
| HPI_Fred | this is so difficult for a beginner lol | 07:59 |
| cckk | joshdellthanx | 08:00 |
| negge | Josdell: it will work properly but the resolution will be low and you won't be able to use any desktop effects | 08:00 |

| mechdave | sysop1972, I use xchat... i find it easiest | 08:02 |
| negge | sysop1972: if you want a textbased client I'd say irssi is the best | 08:02 |

| negge | but I'm not sure | 08:06 |

| === mija_schnarchle is now known as mija | ||
| hyougin | guess i'll ask around elsewhere | 08:07 |
| Josdell | hyougin | 08:07 |
| hyougin | ..? | 08:07 |
| bazhang | Russel-Athletic, then you should run it, with sudo; also ask in #kubuntu-kde4 if it is more kde specific | 08:08 |
| hyougin | yeah? | 08:08 |
| pvl1 | hyougin, look into gnump3d | 08:08 |
| Russel-Athletic | it doesn't work because it quits with the same error | 08:08 |
| Russel-Athletic | it is more a package manager problem | 08:08 |
| Josdell | hyougin: First if you are doing it over a router, one your Ubuntu needs to be working with good wireless, and your router's settings itself may need to be chaned too,a nd your XP settings | 08:08 |
| Russel-Athletic | i just want to remove the stuff regardless if it didn't configure right | 08:08 |
| bazhang | Russel-Athletic, the reconfigure quits? | 08:08 |
| hyougin | why wireless? | 08:09 |
| Russel-Athletic | yes: "too many errors, stopping" | 08:09 |
| Josdell | hyougin: are you doing it over wireless or wired | 08:09 |
| hyougin | wired. | 08:09 |
| Russel-Athletic | and a lot of "x is not configured" errors | 08:09 |
| bazhang | Russel-Athletic, are you able to install or remove any other packages? | 08:10 |
| richard__ | morning everyone. Question for you: Can I tell what users are currently logged on (and perhaps get some stats) for my ubuntu ftp server? | 08:10 |
| Russel-Athletic | no | 08:10 |
| hyougin | both computers have gigabit cards | 08:10 |
| Josdell | hyougin: it is most likely the settings you have on your Windows that are making it slow | 08:10 |
| Russel-Athletic | aptitude says i have to run dpkg --configure -a | 08:10 |
| === Guest41078 is now known as max | ||
| Russel-Athletic | or should i try to remove with dpkg? | 08:10 |
| bazhang | Russel-Athletic, pastebin the errors from that command in paste.ubuntu.com | 08:10 |

| Lusule | please could i get some help with a graphics problem - i just installed my nvidia graphics driver, it worked fine, now i reboot and it can't find it - i don't want to have to keep installing it | 08:11 |
| Russel-Athletic | bazhang: http://paste.ubuntu.com/27936/ | 08:11 |
| mechdave | john-technical, your usb should be ok out of the box in Ubuntu | 08:12 |
| john-technical | thats the prob i cant even load it in windows as windows cannot find the correct drivers | 08:12 |
| bazhang | Russel-Athletic, is this gutsy or hardy | 08:12 |
| Russel-Athletic | hardy | 08:12 |

| Russel-Athletic | sudo aptitude install kubuntu-kde4-desktop | 08:13 |
| Russel-Athletic | but this was a month ago and worked fine | 08:13 |
| mechdave | cruddpuppet, np | 08:14 |
| bazhang | Russel-Athletic, and the most recent update is when it broke? | 08:14 |
| Russel-Athletic | yesterday i updated with sudo aptitude dist-upgrade and it stops working | 08:14 |
| Lusule | tim56 - that happens when i reboot? how do i fix it? | 08:14 |
| Russel-Athletic | but then aptitude did still work | 08:14 |
| Russel-Athletic | but now a lot of new kde4 packages came in and i tried to install a new software and than it broke like it is now | 08:14 |
| bazhang | Russel-Athletic, could you cat /etc/apt/sources.list and paste that to paste.ubuntu.com | 08:15 |
| bazhang | Russel-Athletic, what new software | 08:15 |
| tim56 | lusule: reinstall it, but to prevent it from happening again, install it from ubuntu's sources, use google to help you out. | 08:15 |

| ubottu | StonedToo: 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? | 08:56 |
| Viking667 | because every single time I try it, I get exactly the same errors; firstly that /tmp has improper permissions, second that it can't find /tmp/<some-var>/hardy.tar.gz.gpg, even though it downloaded the tarball fine. | 08:57 |
| Light- | StonedToo: sounds dodgy, use gparted | 08:57 |
| kcman | Light yeah well first i need to check to see if i am at 16 or 24 bit, i just recently got my ati rage mobility to render 3d in ubuntu but still geting crapy out put so all the online how to's have said the samething make sure you are in 16 bit so i need to check | 08:57 |
| Light- | StonedToo: You can download and boot to a CD with gparted on it so you can modify partitions that would otherwise be in use | 08:57 |

| etoilemock | could I get a help from someone? | 09:09 |
| kcman | bazhang i am not planning on doing that at all i was just messing with the help option in the chanserv and saw a bunch of names before messags and thought maybe channel mod had turned that off or something to that extent | 09:09 |

| Raheem | I am not sure abt how to do it .. but, cfdisk with expect .. in a script .. may be a solution for you .. i don't knw much about it though | 09:12 |
| zetheroo | arvind_khadri: there was a command to update apt-cacher ... but I forgot it | 09:12 |
| arvind_khadri | zetheroo, hmm google it then... and check the ubuntu wiki... we would have done the documentation :) | 09:13 |

| bazhang | Suzari, via wine? | 09:18 |

| cckk | bazhang: ok, the first package would be ubuntustudio-desktop? they have many packages and i dont want to install in a bad order | 09:19 |
| Suzari | I've looked through every website | 09:19 |
| Suzari | Doesn't seem to correspond with Wine 1.0 | 09:19 |
| bazhang | cckk, that would pull in everything (be warned: big download) | 09:19 |

| ne2k__ | hello all. I'm trying to install Skype using their official skype repository, which has an apt sources.list line of "deb http://download.skype.com/linux/repos/debian/ stable non-free". The trouble is, my architecture is amd-64, but they only have an i386 repository. I suspect the i386 one might work -- is there a way to pretend my architecture is i386 just for that sources line, or should I... | 09:22 |
| Viking667 | sod. I can't cut-n-paste. | 09:22 |
| ne2k__ | ...install it manually? | 09:22 |
| Viking667 | ... at least, not with links2 | 09:23 |

| Flannel | cckk: I'm not really sure how Myth works (so it might be different) but all the others (Xubuntu, Kubuntu, Ubuntu, and Studio) peacefully coexist (you can have them all installed if you want), and you choose which to use when you log in. | 09:24 |
| cckk | Flannel: is there a better option for what i am trying to do? trying to change my mic jack to an output jack eg.. headphones like i do in the realtek module in windows | 09:25 |
| Flannel | cckk: I have no idea. If its possible, you probably don't need ubuntu studio. | 09:26 |
| Viking667 | Right. Try this: http://paste.ubuntu.com/27952/ | 09:28 |
| cckk | Flannel: thank you for your help, how did you make bazhang and my name light up earlier at the same time ? | 09:28 |

| Flannel | cckk: The same way you're doing it to us. Your client highlights lines with your name in it. | 09:28 |

| gordonjcp | since upgrading to hardy, apt-cache search seems to be broken - it returns huge lists of packages unrelated to the search | 09:41 |
| * gordonjcp is liking hardy less and less | 09:41 | |
| christine_ | ne2k__ - do I just add that to my grub.lst? | 09:41 |
| arvind_khadri | gordonjcp, which package do you want?? | 09:42 |
| christine_ | menu.lst I mean | 09:42 |
| ne2k__ | christine_: well, it needs to be in the correct format, but yes | 09:42 |
| speedRS | Could someone give me a hand with NIS users and access permission please? | 09:42 |
| gordonjcp | arvind_khadri: I searched for "eric" and it returned 732 packages, most of which not even tangentially related to Python | 09:42 |
| arooni | on hardy; how do i transfer files to my pocket pc (messages from dmesg: [34379.296963] ipaq 2-6:1.0: PocketPC PDA converter detected; [34379.300712] usb 2-6: PocketPC PDA converter now attached to ttyUSB) | 09:42 |
| gordonjcp | arooni: that means it's being treated as a serial port | 09:43 |
| StonedToo | Raheem: ok i've worked it out ... use "sfdisk /dev/sdxx < file" where every line in file stands for one partition with <start><size><id><bootable> ... values are in cylinders and comma seperated | 09:43 |
| Raheem | glad to hear StonedToo | 09:43 |
| arvind_khadri | gordonjcp, you should use aptitiude for that | 09:43 |
| arooni | gordonjcp, ok how do i use it? | 09:43 |
| gordonjcp | arooni: no idea, I don't have a pocketpc | 09:43 |
| arooni | gordonjcp, it has a microsd card in it | 09:43 |
| bazhang | !info sfdisk | 09:43 |
| ubottu | Package sfdisk does not exist in hardy | 09:43 |
| gordonjcp | arvind_khadri: I don't like aptitude | 09:43 |
| arvind_khadri | gordonjcp, hmm.. then use grep with apt-cache | 09:44 |
| gordonjcp | arvind_khadri: that's a pain in the backside - it's something that has changed since Gutsy | 09:44 |
| Phase | I have a external harddrive icon stuck on my desktop. I can connect it and stuff and a new one will come up (and unmounts properly), but this has happened several times. Is there a way I can get rid of that icon without killing X/gnome/restarting? | 09:45 |
| gordonjcp | arvind_khadri: I think I'll just upgrade to Gutsy | 09:45 |
| arvind_khadri | gordonjcp, you mean downgrade :) | 09:45 |
| christine_ | ne2k__ - Thanks for the help - will try it now | 09:45 |
| cckk | Flannel: while i wait for the answer from studio channel can i pick your brain a bit about other issues i have in my conversion to linux? | 09:45 |
| Flannel | cckk: Best to just ask the channel in general. Ask away! | 09:45 |
| gordonjcp | cckk: #lad might be a good place to ask about linux audio stuff | 09:46 |
| negge | Phase: doesn't it disappear if you right-click it and click Unmount? | 09:47 |
| Viking667 | Gah. Now I can't seem to ftp to ANY Ubuntu ftp mirror. | 09:47 |
| gordonjcp | arvind_khadri: I mean upgrade... | 09:47 |
| Phase | negge, Nope. It's stuck, the icon is, rather. | 09:47 |
| gordonjcp | arvind_khadri: Hardy is a downgrade from Gutsy | 09:47 |
| arvind_khadri | gordonjcp, :) might me... am not qualified enough to make a statement | 09:47 |
| Phase | If I was to go plug it back in, it would remount, the another icon that looks the same will pop up, and I can Right Click > Unmount, and it unmounts properly. | 09:47 |
| negge | gordonjcp: wouldn't say that, only thing I miss is the old xorg | 09:48 |
| Kartagis | i unplugged a usb disk and it was umounted. but because i was in that disk using nautilus, the /media/ link was not removed. do i need to reboot for it to be removed or is there something else i can do? | 09:48 |
| RoninBaka | I want to be able to use a lot of pci wireless cards at the same time I was told to get a "backplane" how does that work? | 09:48 |
| gordonjcp | arvind_khadri: well, look at it this way, it's got a broken firefox 3, broken sound, and broken video, and broken apt | 09:48 |
| negge | Phase: go to your /media folder and see if you have many entries there that are empty when you double-click them | 09:48 |
| gordonjcp | gutsy was bad enough, but hardy is unusable | 09:48 |
| negge | if you remove those (sudo rmdir directory) the icon should disappear | 09:48 |
| cckk | thank you, i have an ati hd 650 usb tv tuner that i cannot find how to make work in linux, i googled the forums and only came up with gatos.sourceforge.net which doesnt help with my specific card gordonjcp i have a few general question im converting from windows to linux about 5 days in to it | 09:49 |
| Slart | Kartagis: I wouldn't worry about it.. try connecting the drive again and removing it properly if you really want the mountpoint deleted | 09:49 |
| negge | gordonjcp: the audio part is bad yeah, the rest works great | 09:49 |
| Slart | Kartagis: or just delete it yourself.. it's just a folder.. just make sure the disk isn't mounted when you delete it =) | 09:49 |
| gordonjcp | negge: well, I've got all kinds of video weirdness on my laptop | 09:49 |
| weirdoguy | hi, I have a problem. I can't add icons in my Ubuntu anymore. I placed the icons at /usr/share/icons (like I usually do), but when I go to themes > customize, it doesn't add up anymore. Am I missign something? thanks | 09:49 |
| gordonjcp | negge: in particular, it dims the screen to minimum randomly whenever it feels like | 09:49 |
| Kartagis | Slart: when i connect it again, it's something like /media/disk-1 | 09:50 |
| negge | gordonjcp: that's probably the drivers' fault, not Ubuntus | 09:50 |
| Phase | negge, rm: cannot remove `WD External': Input/output error | 09:50 |
| negge | gordonjcp: okay | 09:50 |
| gordonjcp | negge: works perfectly in Gutsy | 09:50 |
| negge | Phase: did you use rmdir or rm? | 09:50 |
| gordonjcp | negge: there's not *much* difference in the drivers between the two | 09:50 |
| Phase | Both. | 09:50 |
| Slart | Kartagis: ah.. it creates a new mountpoint.. well.. that makes sense.. then just delete the folder manually.. I don't think a reboot will delete it | 09:50 |
| === Spaces is now known as FreeSystem | ||
| Phase | rmdir: failed to remove `WD External': Device or resource busy | 09:50 |
| negge | gordonjcp: laptops have always been a difficult subject | 09:50 |
| arvind_khadri | gordonjcp, the latest update fixed lots of bugs... every edition has some probs or the other.. | 09:51 |
| negge | Phase: okay, try to unmount that one | 09:51 |
| negge | Phase: and make sure you're using sudo | 09:51 |
| gordonjcp | negge: this is a regression though | 09:51 |
| Kartagis | Slart: I get the error phaedra gets, even if it's unmounted | 09:51 |
| gordonjcp | negge: and we're talking about a Thinkpad R50e, which is one of the best-supported laptops you can et | 09:51 |
| negge | gordonjcp: lets hope the next version will be better | 09:51 |
| gordonjcp | get | 09:51 |
| bazhang | gordonjcp, what specific issues do you have | 09:51 |
| gordonjcp | negge: it will be if they ditch the stupid pulseaudio stuff | 09:51 |
| Slart | Kartagis: phaedra? what is the error? | 09:52 |
| negge | gordonjcp: apparently it isn't if you have those kind of problems. I installed Hardy on some random Fujitsu-Siemens and everything worked out of the box, hotkeys, wireless, no problems | 09:52 |
| weirdoguy | anyone? please help? | 09:52 |
| negge | gordonjcp: I agree, or atleast make it better (which it probably will be) | 09:52 |
| gordonjcp | bazhang: apt doesn't work properly any more and pulseaudio has broken my sound | 09:52 |
| gordonjcp | negge: better still, make it optional | 09:52 |
| Kartagis | rm: dizin "/media/disk" can't be deleted: Device or resource busy | 09:52 |
| === kennet is now known as Zeeon | ||
| bazhang | gordonjcp, please clarify the apt problems | 09:52 |
| gordonjcp | negge: you can't remove it without killing ubuntu-desktop | 09:52 |
| negge | gordonjcp: yeah but you don't have to use it right? | 09:53 |
| gordonjcp | bazhang: any given apt-cache search query matches a couple of hundred packages, mostly unrelated to the query | 09:53 |
| Slart | Kartagis: hmm.. can you pastebin the output of "cat /etc/mtab" ? | 09:53 |
| negge | Phase: any luck? | 09:53 |
| gordonjcp | negge: well, you do, because it entirely takes over the soundcard | 09:53 |
| gordonjcp | negge: which prevents you using anything else | 09:53 |
| axscode | hi guyz.. whats the device name of USB drive in /dev in ubuntu? | 09:53 |
| negge | gordonjcp: the problem with pulseaudio isn't pulseaudio itself it is the applications not using it which then messes it all up (atleast that's what I've heard) | 09:54 |
| Kartagis | Slart: http://pastebin.com/fc425119 | 09:54 |
| gordonjcp | negge: and if you stop it and start jack, it keeps trying to start itself up again and kills the machine | 09:54 |
| gordonjcp | axscode: /dev/sd*something* | 09:54 |
| negge | axscode: write sudo fdisk -l and see for yourself | 09:54 |
| gordonjcp | axscode: dmesg will tell you more | 09:54 |
| weirdoguy | hi guys, do I have to do chmod after adding icons in the /usr/share/icons folder? | 09:54 |
| koshari | axscode generally a usb device in ubuntu vanilla will mount in /media under the name of the volume-device | 09:54 |
| gordonjcp | negge: well, for me the problem is that pulseaudio doesn't want to give up control of the sound hardware | 09:54 |
| gordonjcp | negge: I don't want to use it, and I never will want to use it | 09:55 |
| Slart | Kartagis: ah.. there is still a disk mounted there.. (check the last line).. do this in a terminal to unmount it, "sudo umount /media/disk" | 09:55 |
| negge | weirdoguy: I don't know but if the other icons have different ownership it's probably best to chmod them | 09:55 |
| axscode | i apears.. but not accessible | 09:55 |
| koshari | gordonjcp the whole idea of pulseaudio is to add a mxer control layer, | 09:55 |
| negge | gordonjcp: it's not supposed to | 09:55 |
| koshari | !punseaudio | 09:55 |
| ubottu | Sorry, I don't know anything about punseaudio | 09:55 |
| gordonjcp | koshari: I haven't got a use for that | 09:55 |
| Kartagis | it worked, thanks Slart | 09:56 |
| gordonjcp | koshari: it just gets in the way | 09:56 |
| MatthewV | gordonjcp, not having followed what was happening previously, but if you need a program to run without pulseaudio, run it as "pasuspender <program>" | 09:56 |
| Slart | Kartagis: you're welcome | 09:56 |
| negge | gordonjcp: any specific app you use that doesn't work well with pulseaudio? | 09:56 |
| koshari | gordonjcp if you had 2 devices that want to use the soundcard at once you do | 09:56 |
| === bazhang is now known as gripey | ||
| gordonjcp | negge: jackd | 09:56 |
| weirdoguy | @negge: Yeah, my ubuntu is acting weird. It doesnt recognize the folders that I put in the /usr/share/icons or ~/.icons >> I really don't know why. It was working before. But after a reformat, now it doesnt work | 09:56 |
| cckk | how do i make my file folder show a thumnail inside eg. i have a movie it has a cover its stored in a folder under videos called hero, cna that folder show the picture of hero as it does in windows? | 09:56 |
| koshari | !pulseaudio | 09:56 |
| 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 | 09:56 |
| gordonjcp | koshari: no, under no circumstances do I ever want pulseaudio | 09:56 |
| gordonjcp | koshari: I use jack | 09:56 |
| negge | weirdoguy: I've never added my own icons anyway so I don't really know what the problem is | 09:56 |
| Flannel | gordonjcp: so remove it | 09:57 |
| Slart | gordonjcp: then uninstall it? | 09:57 |
| Light- | !lol | 09:57 |
| ubottu | Please don't use "LOL" and "OMG" and so forth on a regular basis. This is IRC, not IM, and using those lines on their own is not required, and it is rather annoying to the rest of the people in the channel; thanks. | 09:57 |
| gordonjcp | Flannel, Slart: can't, without removing the ubuntu-desktop metapackage, and all that implies | 09:57 |
| Light- | hey theres actually a lol trigger | 09:57 |
| Slart | gordonjcp: that doesn't imply anything afaik.. it's a meta package | 09:57 |
| Flannel | gordonjcp: ubuntu-desktop is a metapackage. Removing it doesn't imply *anything*. removing it won't make any difference. | 09:57 |
| weirdoguy | well thanks negge :) Anybody knows why adding icons to the right folders doesn't work. Am I missing something? | 09:57 |
| gordonjcp | Slart: it uninstalls most of the rest of the desktop apps | 09:57 |
| Flannel | gordonjcp: No it doesnt | 09:57 |
| negge | cckk: you mean a video thumbnail or a thumbnail of the cover picture? | 09:57 |
| Slart | gordonjcp: no it doesn't | 09:57 |
| gordonjcp | Flannel: I've done it, and broken my system doing it | 09:58 |
| gripey | !puregnome | gordonjcp please read this | 09:58 |
| ubottu | gordonjcp please read this: If you want to remove all !KDE packages and have a default !Ubuntu system follow the instructions here << http://psychocats.net/ubuntu/puregnome >> | 09:58 |
| Slart | gordonjcp: and I've done it.. and it didn't =) | 09:58 |
| gordonjcp | I'd say try it for yourself but I don't feel that destructive | 09:58 |
| koshari | gordonjcp so what if it removes ubuntu-desktop, its only a matapackage | 09:58 |
| cckk | negge: a thumbnail of the cover picture | 09:58 |
| Flannel | gordonjcp: That's not how metapackages work. Unless you did autoremove or tweaked something else. | 09:58 |
| gripey | ubottu lag | 09:58 |
| ubottu | You have lag, I don't have lag | 09:58 |
| Slart | gordonjcp: did you use apt? aptitude? synaptic? | 09:58 |
| gordonjcp | Slart: apt | 09:58 |
| negge | cckk: if you're looking at the folder in Icon view you should see thumbnails by default unless you've messed with some settings | 09:59 |
| Flannel | gordonjcp: If you refuse to remove pulseaudio, please at least stop complaining about it. | 09:59 |
| Slart | gordonjcp: ok.. I just did a sudo apt-get remove ubuntu-desktop.. it only uninstalled that package, 52 kb worth of files.. and I'm still here | 09:59 |
| gordonjcp | Slart: hm | 09:59 |
| gordonjcp | no idea then | 09:59 |
| gordonjcp | Flannel: I removed it, it killed my desktop | 09:59 |
| cckk | negge: i havent messed with any setting AFAIK but going over them would be a great idea since i am really new to this | 10:00 |
| Flannel | gordonjcp: You did something else, removing it, as Slart just demonstrated, doesn't do anything else. | 10:00 |
| negge | cckk: so you don't see any thumbnail? | 10:00 |
| gordonjcp | Flannel: I know perfectly well what I did and what the results were | 10:00 |
| cckk | negge: noothing not even one anywhere | 10:00 |
| negge | hmm | 10:01 |
| gordonjcp | Flannel: in any case, I've reinstalled Hardy on my desktop, but left it dual-boot with Slackware so I can actually get some audio work done | 10:01 |
| Phase | negge, Sorry.. got distracted, some idiot trying to troll me.. annoying pests. | 10:01 |
| Phase | negge, It worked (umount I mean), thanks :) | 10:01 |
| negge | Phase: great | 10:01 |
| Slart | gordonjcp: why don't you try it now.. with the --simulate flag.. just to satisfy my curiousity | 10:01 |
| Slart | gordonjcp: that's -s .. I'm not sure if there actually is a "--simulate" switch | 10:02 |
| Phase | Which one is 8.04, hardy? | 10:02 |
| Slart | Phase: yes | 10:02 |
| negge | Phase: yeah | 10:02 |
| Phase | Ah, gotcha. | 10:02 |
| gordonjcp | Slart: there is, and that only seems to want to remove the ubuntu-desktop package | 10:02 |
| Phase | I'm a loyal debian.. just use ubuntu for the desktop :) | 10:02 |
| gordonjcp | Slart: I don't trust it though | 10:02 |
| Phase | Don't know much about the naming scheme and such. | 10:03 |
| negge | Phase: it's not that complicated | 10:03 |
| cckk | negge: i just went under my music folder and went to view/reset viw to default | 10:03 |
| Slart | gordonjcp: hehe.. your machine, your call.. can't you just disable pulseaudio from starting at boot then? | 10:03 |
| negge | cckk: any change? | 10:03 |
| cckk | negge: still no go | 10:03 |
| gordonjcp | Slart: doesn't seem to "stick" | 10:03 |
| negge | cckk: go to options and see if you can find anything there | 10:03 |
| === gripey is now known as bazhang | ||
| gordonjcp | Slart: every so often I'll be working and then jack will spit the dummy, and sure enough there's a pulseaudio process started up | 10:04 |
| Slart | gordonjcp: how did you disable it? | 10:04 |
| weirdoguy | hi, i just browsed my /usr/share/icons folder and noticed that the icons folders I put in there (using terminal) has an X mark on it. What does it mean? Is this the reason why I can't see the folders in the icon selection? please help | 10:04 |
| cckk | negge: how about preferences since there is no options? | 10:04 |
| RoninBaka | Whats the morhterboard youknow of with the most PCI slots? | 10:04 |
| gordonjcp | Slart: set ~START to 0 in /etc/defaults/pulseaudio | 10:05 |
| bazhang | #hardware will know RoninBaka | 10:05 |
| negge | weirdoguy: navigate to the folder from the terminal and write ls -la to see if there are any ownership/permission differences between the files | 10:05 |
| negge | cckk: yeah that's what I meant | 10:05 |
| Slart | gordonjcp: have you tried replacing /usr/bin/pulseaudio with a dummy executable? | 10:05 |
| negge | I can't believe you have to replace pulseaudio with a dummy file to disable it, there's gotta be some neat way to uninstall it | 10:06 |
| Slart | gordonjcp: that variable might just be for starting pulseaudio in system wide mode.. it can still be started by a regular user | 10:06 |
| fbianconi | the letter of the name (g)utsy (h)ardy (i)ntrepid are correlatives | 10:06 |
| gordonjcp | Slart: not yet, it's something I've considered | 10:06 |
| Flannel | negge: Yeah, you just remove the package | 10:06 |
| === macsim`work is now known as macsim | ||
| negge | Flannel: according to gordonjcp that's kinda difficult:) | 10:06 |
| cckk | negge: no love i change 2 items /preview/show thumbnails -- always /preview/only for files smaller than --1GB | 10:07 |
| weirdoguy | thanks negge, when i do that I see drwx------ for the folder that I added. The stock icons has different writings on it | 10:07 |
| gordonjcp | Flannel: possibly it's some weird interaction with it being upgraded from Gutsy | 10:07 |
| negge | cckk: that's weird | 10:07 |
| Flannel | negge: it's not. But whatever. | 10:07 |
| gordonjcp | Flannel: i'll try it with a clean install | 10:07 |
| weirdoguy | Does it mean that drwx----- has a wrong ownership? | 10:07 |
| gordonjcp | since I've lost a day or so to it, I may as well lose another 45 minutes | 10:07 |
| Light- | negge: its the same for me, I can see thumbnails for videos but not in folders if teh folder contains video/images | 10:07 |
| Light- | negge: err, the folder icon gives no hint of its contents is what I mean | 10:08 |
| Flannel | gordonjcp: Even if it does, all it would take to get it back is to reinstall the ubuntu-desktop metapackage | 10:08 |
| negge | Flannel: I have this problem that I can't listen to anything else (eg. music through Rhythmbox) while watching Youtube videos. This is because the libflashpulseaudio plugin (or whatever it's called) doesn't work so I don't have it installed. Would removing pulseaudio clear all this up? | 10:08 |
| Flannel | negge: I have no idea | 10:08 |
| cckk | negge: what about /preferences/tree view defaults/show only folders --checked | 10:08 |
| negge | Light-: cckk actually I've never checked if it works if the folder contains both kind of files. Maybe it's a bug | 10:09 |
| Slart | negge: you can have multiple sound sources using just alsa.. but I think you'll have to use dmix.. and do a lot of configuring in the alsa config files | 10:09 |
| negge | cckk: I don't see why that would help | 10:09 |
| negge | Slart: Flannel okay | 10:09 |
| cckk | negge: it didnt anyway | 10:09 |
| negge | hehe | 10:09 |

| negge | Slart: I don't know, that's what they say I guess | 10:10 |
| negge | worst coders in the world if that's true | 10:10 |
| Light- | 32-bit flash runs on 64-bit linux | 10:10 |
| negge | can't be that hard to port it | 10:10 |
| negge | Light-: yeah but barely | 10:11 |
| cckk | if it counts theres no 64 bit flash for windows either shitty.. | 10:11 |
| negge | I'm gonna go eat now | 10:11 |
| Light- | flash itself is shitty, we need an open standard | 10:11 |
| Slart | negge: they must have written it directly in machine code.. for that blazing speed ;) | 10:11 |
| negge | Slart: hehe yeah | 10:11 |
| Slart | Light-: I'm still waiting for svg to catch on.. | 10:11 |
| cckk | anyone else have any ideas for my folder with icon problem or the ati hd 650 usb driver problem? | 10:12 |
| negge | Light-: indeed, but we'll all be old before that new standard gets popular. Just look at MP3, shittiest format ever but still the most popular (even though alternatives are slowly becoming more popular) | 10:12 |
| Light- | id also be interested if someone managed to solve cckk's folder problem | 10:12 |

| Slart | cckk: I might not have been paying attention when you described the problem.. would you mind doing it again? | 10:13 |
| negge | Light-: that's the problem. Although change isn't always good either | 10:14 |
| cckk | Slart: sure which problem tv tuner or folder problem? | 10:14 |
| Slart | cckk: ngghh.. tv tuners give me the creeps.. I'll go with folder problems for 200, please | 10:14 |
| Light- | I could never get his TV Tuner to work properly with tvtime, so I sold it | 10:14 |
| Light- | *my | 10:14 |
| cckk | Slart: lol, for 200 how do i make my file folder show a thumnail inside eg. i have a movie it has a cover its stored in a folder under videos called hero, can that folder show the picture of hero as it does in windows? | 10:15 |
| Light- | Slart: like in Windows, the folder icons display pictures of the content in the icon | 10:15 |
| Light- | you know, if KDE can do it and GNOME cant, then i'll be :( | 10:16 |
| Slart | yea.. I understand.. I'd be surprised if gnome couldn't do that.. | 10:16 |
| MatthewV | just as a note, i had a folder that had a file in it called cover.png iirc (or .cover.png?) and for some reason konqueror would always display that as the folder thumbnail, but i never saw any other file browser (nautilus) do it | 10:16 |
| cckk | light can kde do it? and is kde a better gui? | 10:16 |
| MatthewV | so Light- i think you might be right... :S :( | 10:17 |
| Light- | cckk: I dont know, I dont use or like KDE | 10:17 |

| glyn | i do a nopic nolapic and it seems to boot ok until it gets to the desktop, then it just keeps loading and loading | 10:54 |
| ramin | I didn't change anything | 10:54 |
| Slart | cckk: well.. there's brainstorm.. or launchpad.. | 10:54 |
| ramin | so I don't see why that would happen | 10:54 |
| ikonia | glyn: what do you mean loading and loading ? | 10:54 |
| negge | message144: only problem with installing "manually" is it won't get updated with apt-get and you have to remove it manually aswell | 10:54 |
| ikonia | glyn: there is no "loading" message on the desktop, can you please be more specific | 10:55 |
| glyn | ive left it for ages and it doesnt seem to get any further | 10:55 |
| ne2k__ | negge: yuk, it uses qt | 10:55 |
| negge | ne2k__: that's bad... | 10:55 |
| message144 | negge: ok... and if i do it manually will it automatically download and install dependencies? | 10:55 |
| ne2k__ | negge: I'll get over it ;-) | 10:55 |
| glyn | it shows the desktop but no taskbar or icons | 10:55 |
| negge | message144: nope, but it will tell you which ones you're missing | 10:55 |
| ikonia | glyn: at what point, you say it loads the desktop - you should be able to move the mouse at that point | 10:55 |
| Slart | ramin: the computer gnomes sometimes change things at night when noones around =).. (that's gnomes with a S).. or it's a bug.. or you by mistake pressed some weird key combo that changes that | 10:55 |
| ikonia | glyn: ok - so you get a background and nothing else ? | 10:55 |
| message144 | negge: ok.. so im wondering how I would actually install it manually | 10:55 |
| message144 | heh | 10:56 |
| negge | message144: on packages.ubuntu.com, which repository does it say it's in? | 10:56 |
| ramin | perhaps | 10:56 |
| glyn | yes i can move the mouse but it seems to jump and temporarily lock up | 10:56 |
| ikonia | message144: dpkg -i file | 10:56 |
| ramin | i'll just restart | 10:56 |
| cckk | slart you think its safe to use that code file? | 10:56 |
| message144 | negge: http://packages.ubuntu.com/hardy/php5-cli | 10:56 |
| ramin | gotta test out some scripts anyway | 10:56 |
| ramin | my vnc problem may also be solved | 10:56 |
| ikonia | glyn: the first thing I'd do in that situation is run a cd verification check, make sure your CD is %100 | 10:56 |
| ramin | so i might be back | 10:56 |
| Slart | cckk: I don't think it will kill your computer.. I don't know if it works | 10:56 |
| glyn | yes i get a cursor and the orangy desktop | 10:56 |
| negge | message144: why don't you just use apt-get install php5-cli? | 10:56 |
| ikonia | glyn: do you have an ATI video card in that laptop ? | 10:56 |
| Slart | cckk: give it a try.. | 10:56 |
| message144 | negge: because none of the mirrors have the version I need | 10:56 |
| glyn | ive tried several cds | 10:57 |
| cckk | slart ill report back in a few | 10:57 |
| glyn | even the proper ubuntu hardy i ordred | 10:57 |
| glyn | intel graphics | 10:57 |
| negge | message144: you mean you want another version than the one that is in the repos? | 10:57 |
| ikonia | glyn 1.) have you verified the cd with the CD checking tool | 10:57 |
| message144 | negge: yes | 10:57 |
| glyn | ive used several different cds, dont think its that | 10:57 |
| ikonia | glyn: have you verified the CD with the CD checking tool | 10:58 |
| message144 | negge: im trying to find /pool/main/p/php5/php5-cli_5.2.4-2ubuntu5.1_i386.deb | 10:58 |
| glyn | ive used several cds, including hardy cd from canonical | 10:58 |
| nydexia | hi | 10:58 |
| ikonia | glyn: well you answer the question please. | 10:59 |
| negge | message144: http://lug.hampshire.edu/ubuntu/pool/main/p/php5/ they have almost the same one | 10:59 |
| negge | php5-cli_5.2.4-2ubuntu5.2_i386.deb | 10:59 |
| * made_of_storm brb | 10:59 | |
| ikonia | glyn: please answer the question, have you used the CD checking tool | 10:59 |
| message144 | negge: but its slightly different | 10:59 |
| negge | message144: I don't see why you would need that particular version | 10:59 |
| nydexia | I read from forrums that to install a pcmcia card you have to use modprobe usbserial vendor=0x1199 product=0x0112 | 10:59 |
| glyn | yes ive verified them all | 10:59 |
| glyn | and they are fine | 10:59 |
| message144 | negge: thats the version that apt-get is looking for when i do apt-get install php5-cli | 10:59 |
| ikonia | glyn: I'm afraid I don't believe you as you refused to answer that question 3 times | 10:59 |
| nydexia | how do I find the vendor id and product id for my card? | 10:59 |
| negge | message144: why can't you just use that version? | 10:59 |
| message144 | negge: because i didnt know that was an option and i dont know how to | 11:00 |
| glyn | i check them everytime i burn a cd before installing, they are fine | 11:00 |
| negge | message144: well if you're gonna run some random PHP script from command-line I doubt the version makes any difference, especially since it's such a small difference | 11:00 |
| ikonia | glyn: why did you not say that 3 - 4 asks ago with a simple "yes" | 11:00 |
| ikonia | glyn: I'm afraid I don't believe you | 11:00 |
| glyn | plus i have tried all 3 of them | 11:00 |
| ilf | got https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/hardy/+source/linux/+bug/88746 - none of the mentioned solutions work for me. any idea? | 11:00 |
| ubottu | Launchpad bug 88746 in linux "ehci_hcd module causes I/O errors in USB 2.0 devices" [High,Confirmed] | 11:00 |
| negge | message144: you can atleast install it with apt and if it doesn't work you remove it and try to find that specific version you're looking | 11:00 |
| negge | for | 11:01 |
| message144 | negge: its the "ubuntu5.1" part that is different.. not the php version | 11:01 |
| negge | message144: yeah but that shouldn't matter | 11:01 |
| message144 | negge: so how would i tell apt to get a differen version? | 11:01 |
| nydexia | how do I install zte my39 pcmcia evdo card in ubuntu? | 11:01 |
| glyn | how can all 3 cds get stuck at the same spot? if they hav installed on my other systems perfectly? | 11:01 |
| negge | message144: you can only get the newest version via apt | 11:01 |
| eleftherios | I am on 8.04 on a Thinkpad T61. I updated last night and the wireless card stopped working. I use network-manager, I can see the networks, it scans but it never connectes (either to protected or unprotected networks). Any ideas? | 11:02 |
| message144 | negge: so what do you think is the best way to install this? | 11:02 |
| ikonia | glyn: the tool is not just for checking the CD's it's checking your CD rom also, and as yours is USB and can get flooded with data - thats why I wanted you to check the CD's could be read %100 on the machine your using | 11:02 |
| ikonia | glyn: but I'm afriad I don't believe what your telling me, so I can't help | 11:02 |
| negge | message144: I think the only reasonable way to do this is apt-get install php5-cli | 11:02 |
| glyn | ah thx i didnt realise it checked the drive also | 11:03 |
| glyn | i thought it just checked the actual cd | 11:03 |
| negge | message144: then check if it works with whatever it is you're trying to do | 11:03 |
| glyn | il give it a go | 11:03 |
| ikonia | glyn: you shouldn't have lied | 11:03 |
| ikonia | glyn: you said you'd tested it | 11:03 |
| ikonia | glyn: so you where telling me lies | 11:03 |
| message144 | negge: thats what I originally tried and I got an error which is what brought me to this chan :) | 11:03 |
| glyn | ive tested them on another computer thats what i meant | 11:03 |
| negge | message144: what kind of error? from php or ? | 11:03 |
| ikonia | glyn: don't lie | 11:03 |

| ikonia | glyn: I asked 3 - 4 times | 11:04 |
| negge | message144: you got that when you wrote apt-get install php5-cli? | 11:04 |
| message144 | negge: yes | 11:04 |
| Raheem | ikonia, glyn .. c'mon | 11:04 |
| ikonia | Raheem: what ? | 11:04 |
| negge | message144: then do sudo apt-get update first and then sudo apt-get install php5-cli | 11:04 |
| message144 | negge: you will notice it is looking for an older version that doesnt exist on the repos | 11:04 |
| Raheem | let him test it again .. that's fair enough | 11:04 |

| glyn | yeh, il brb | 11:04 |
| ikonia | Raheem: when getting info from a user it's important to not be lied to | 11:05 |
| Raheem | ikonia, it is obvious that most of the issues comes from a bad burn | 11:05 |
| message144 | ikonia: is there any chance of that borking anything? | 11:05 |
| negge | message144: no | 11:05 |
| message144 | negge: ok | 11:05 |
| negge | it just updates the list file so it knows which packages are the newest | 11:06 |

| message144 | negge: hey that worked... thank you very much :) | 11:06 |
| negge | message144: no problem | 11:06 |

| Slart | cckk: nope.. only one instance of installing stuff at a time | 11:07 |
| ramin | both of my problems were solved by a simple restart :) | 11:07 |
| Slart | cckk: it will just give you an error if you try | 11:07 |
| Raheem | ramin, that's good news | 11:07 |
| ramin | however I have a question | 11:07 |
| negge | ramin: sometimes that's the case:) | 11:07 |
| ramin | is there anyway of logging into root using a .sh (shell) script | 11:07 |
| ramin | automatically | 11:07 |
| negge | ramin: why would you wanna do that? | 11:08 |
| ramin | here is the thing | 11:08 |
| ikonia | Raheem: I am not pushing - I'm explaining that I won't be following up the help as I can't trust what the user is telling me | 11:08 |
| ramin | on startup, I want a script to mount my harddrives, start my ssh, and start my samba | 11:08 |
| ramin | but it needs to go into root for some of that | 11:08 |
| Slart | ramin: sudo can get the password from a text file.. read the man page for sudo.. of course this means the password will either be in the script of cleartext in a file somewhere | 11:08 |
| Raheem | ikonia, newbies ;) | 11:09 |
| shah_ | hi guys just now top and bottom bars in ubuntu | 11:09 |
| cckk | slart well in that case ill go home and try im at my office hopefully youre still on in 45 minutes or so | 11:09 |
| ikonia | Raheem: no - people who lie. | 11:09 |
| ramin | that's completely fine Slart | 11:09 |
| Slart | cckk: I'll probably still be here | 11:09 |
| negge | ramin: ssh and samba should start automatically after you installed them and your harddrives will be mounted if you edit /etc/fstab | 11:09 |
| ramin | it's my personal machine | 11:09 |
| JuzzyD | Good evening folks | 11:09 |
| ramin | hmm, samba does not | 11:09 |
| ramin | ssh might | 11:10 |
| JuzzyD | Can anyone help me with an issue with a script I have. please. | 11:10 |
| DIFH-iceroot | JuzzyD: just ask your question | 11:10 |
| negge | ramin: I haven't used Samba but SSH starts automatically on startup, that I know | 11:10 |
| negge | Samba should too I guess | 11:10 |
| JuzzyD | usage='An error has occurred \n \n Usage: mp4convert INPUTFILE OUTPUTFILE' when I echo usage, it doesn't display the new lines. | 11:10 |
| ramin | negge | 11:10 |
| ramin | what would I put in my fstab | 11:10 |
| JuzzyD | I was getting to it iceroot! Patience young jedi. | 11:10 |
| ramin | I tried doing it, had no clue | 11:10 |
| _jdd_ | ramin: you could put that stuff in a bash script in /etc/init.d i think and have the script owned by root:root | 11:11 |

| ramin | let me restart against | 11:11 |
| JuzzyD | Thanks negge! | 11:11 |
| ramin | again* | 11:11 |
| glyn | just tried a disc verification | 11:11 |
| Decepticon | is it possible that i can install ubuntu without a monitor | 11:12 |
| ramin | and see if samba starts | 11:12 |
| negge | JuzzyD: did it work? | 11:12 |
| glyn | n its come up with that | 11:12 |
| DIFH-iceroot | JuzzyD: "set -x" will show you debug in the shell, so its "easy" to find the problems | 11:12 |
| negge | Decepticon: of course, if you know what buttons to press and when | 11:12 |
| kcman | ok i have wine and now i cant seem to get the files i want to use in it to go to that file how do i navigate wine with ubuntu? | 11:12 |
| JuzzyD | Nope :( | 11:12 |
| Decepticon | negge is there such a install walkthrough | 11:12 |
| negge | JuzzyD: typical | 11:12 |
| negge | Decepticon: not really, it all depends on your system | 11:13 |
| negge | Decepticon: why don't you just get a monitor | 11:13 |
| Decepticon | i dont have a car | 11:13 |
| kcman | anyone here know how to work wine? | 11:13 |
| MatthewV | kcman, wine stores its files in ~/.wine/ and by default stores programs etc in ~/.wine/drive_c/ if that helps | 11:13 |
| negge | Decepticon: yeah but you do use a monitor right now right? | 11:13 |
| Slart | kcman: are you continuing some discussion you started earlier? or was that just a very confusing question? | 11:13 |
| karname | is graphical tools to wiev connecting program and port to internet in ubuntu? | 11:13 |
| negge | or have one at home | 11:13 |
| Decepticon | negge im on a laptop, this is for my headless machine | 11:13 |
| kcman | Slart i guess i was just being myself and that means confusing | 11:14 |
| negge | Decepticon: I see | 11:14 |
| Slart | kcman: ok.. deep breath.. ask the question again.. | 11:14 |
| nicobrain | hello..... | 11:14 |
| negge | Decepticon: your only option is to get it hooked up to a monitor while installing, there are so many things you have to see while installing that it's practically impossible to do it without one | 11:15 |
| glyn | rite dun a noapic nolapic and its now checking the cd... | 11:15 |
| phesto | was just testing ma installation | 11:15 |
| kcman | Slat how do i get things to install and or move to the wine dir? | 11:15 |
| JuzzyD | How do i turn this debug thing off sorry folks? | 11:15 |
| negge | kcman: you double-click setup.exe like you would on Windows | 11:15 |
| Raheem | kcman, c the post of MatthewV | 11:15 |
| Decepticon | negge isnt it possible to do a minimal netinstall with no questions asked (some kind of server install) and then upgrade to desktop via ssh vnc | 11:15 |
| JuzzyD | the opposite of set -x | 11:15 |
| nicobrain | i have a problem with mounting usb....i become the error-msg:"/media/disk is a folder, but waiting for an file" | 11:16 |

| Slart | kcman: you install programs by running the regular windows installer.. just as you would do in windows.. the windows files are located in ~/.wine/drive_c/ | 11:16 |

| Slart | kcman: .wine is hidden by default in nautilus.. press ctrl+h to show hidden files | 11:16 |
| kcman | ok thanks all | 11:16 |
| JuzzyD | And negge, I found the solution to my linebreak issue. echo needs -e to display them as intended. | 11:16 |
| Decepticon | negge i really dont want to lug a monitor around on my bike :/ | 11:16 |
| kcman | Slart thank you | 11:16 |

| ikonia | gaelfx: basiclly if you search to anything on the interenet not all the hops will be "to the internet" someone will be from the intenret to the host, so you ahve to work out from the trace where your extenral internat access beings | 11:25 |

| ikonia | gaelfx: can I ask what your trying to achieve, I may give you a better answer | 11:27 |
| bobJR | it manual mounted | 11:27 |
| bobJR | thats good to | 11:27 |
| gaelfx | ikonia: well, I want my school to forward ports so uTorrent can listen, but I want to make sure it's not gonna be a ton of work for them | 11:28 |
| jbjohns | my problem is: Yaws does not act correctly when a client surfs to http://my.server.com/ it gives a 404. The user has to go to http://my.server.com/index.html to see the page. According to the docs this is not what should happen | 11:28 |
| gaelfx | ikonia: or I may try to do it myself :P | 11:28 |
| ikonia | gaelfx: if your perimeter stuff is blocking it (which as I school I would expect) you have no choice in the matter, it's blocked | 11:28 |
| ikonia | gaelfx: few schools will allow torrenting on their network | 11:28 |
| _jdd_ | apinunt: it looks like the card is working | 11:28 |
| _jdd_ | apinunt: or at least getting an ip | 11:29 |
| gaelfx | ikonia: my school is in China, and they usually do what I ask :D | 11:29 |
| ikonia | gaelfx: just ask then, you don't need to work it all out | 11:29 |
| gaelfx | ikonia: I'm teaching here, so they like me to be happy | 11:29 |
| abchirk | hm no one? :( | 11:29 |
| gaelfx | ikonia: yeah, you're probably right | 11:29 |
| gaelfx | ikonia: but I would like to improve my netfu, so it doesn't hurt knowing these things | 11:30 |
| ikonia | gaelfx: not at all | 11:30 |
| _jdd_ | apinut: "sudo iwconfig eth1 essid 'my essid'" to make it associate | 11:30 |
| gaelfx | later taters, thanks again ikonia | 11:31 |
| kcman | another wine question let say i d/load something that needs to be in the wine dir, i cant just copy and paste how do i get it there? | 11:31 |

| Light- | bobJR: if it was called /dev/usb, you could try "sudo mount -t fat32 /dev/usb /media/drive" but I dont know what device nodes ubuntu assigns to usb devices | 11:34 |
| apinunt | _jdd_: So you know if anything needs to be entered into the wireless router we are trying to connect to? When it was purchased it was the last unit available and being used by the shop, and when connected to the system the LAN worked without having to do anything, but not the wireless. To make things more difficult we cannot log into the setup screen as they appear to have changed the... | 11:34 |
| apinunt | ...default password and we've yet to be given what it is. | 11:34 |
| abchirk | kcman maybe the directory isn't writeable? | 11:34 |
| _jdd_ | apinunt: there should be a button you can hold in to flush the wireless routers settings on it somewhere, normally near the power in. sometimes it has a sticker over it | 11:35 |
| christaker | how could i return my starting services (at boot) to their defaults? | 11:35 |
| bobJR | thanks light | 11:35 |

| ramin | is it fine if I am mounting ntfs partitions in my fstab? | 11:35 |
| Light- | well, usb block devices anyway | 11:35 |
| ramin | in the type, i just put ntfs | 11:35 |
| Light- | ramin: yes that should be fine | 11:36 |

| apinunt | Light: lsusb, but you may have to install it. | 11:36 |

| venkat | Hi.Can any tell me how to play .mp3 songs ? | 11:38 |
| Slart | !mp3 | venkat | 11:39 |
| _jdd_ | apinunt: I've never seen one that restoring the factory defaults put it in an uninstallable / unrecoverable state. Mostly they just work then, after a little configuring. | 11:39 |

| Light- | Heron: your ram size+1gb should be safe | 11:39 |
| db92 | anything i can do about annoying firefox crashes by flash? | 11:39 |
| Slart | Heroin: there's an old rule that says 2xRAM.. but that's a very old rule | 11:39 |
| Heroin | Light-: i have 2048mb of ram so i made a 2048mb swap | 11:39 |

| Light- | Heron: if you use hibernate and suspend that is, otherwise just make it 1gb | 11:39 |

| ubottu | christaker: Error: I am only a bot, please don't think I'm intelligent :) | 11:43 |
| _jdd_ | apinunt: you should be fine if you flush the settings, hard wire a comp to it, and use the default admin pass. I don't think it could possibly break anything. | 11:44 |
| Slart | Peddy: find might have some switches to search for a specific file size..man find for syntax | 11:44 |
| Slart | christaker: Is the bug causing you any problems? does the computer shut down eventually? | 11:44 |
| Peddy | Slart, any specific ideas? I don't even know where to begin :O | 11:45 |
| === erichammond1 is now known as erichammond | ||

| Light- | Peddy, and see of theres a size option | 11:45 |
| apinunt | _jdd_: We've got the manual, and as we've had little luck getting the login password we may have to resort to the reset and see if any problems arise. Thanks and if stumped we'll be back. | 11:45 |
| _jdd_ | apinunt: Hopefully the wireless is just off in the config. Good luck. | 11:46 |
| christaker | at shutdown process write this message for many times and then (after 15-20 sec) shutdown normally i think.. | 11:46 |
| apinunt | _jdd_: Thanks again, we'll give it a try. | 11:47 |
| Slart | Peddy: I've got a simpler solution... right click on your gnome panel (the grey thing where the applications menu is located).. select "+Add to panel".. find the Search for files app.. click ok | 11:47 |

| db92 | anything i can do about annoying firefox crashes by flash? i dont have gnash, i use the nonfree | 11:47 |

| Peddy | Light-, Slart I'll try those things. | 11:47 |
| _jdd_ | db92: no, I don't think so although someone may have figured something sneaky out. | 11:48 |
| Peddy | Slart, is the program just called 'search', because I already have tracker installed. | 11:48 |
| Slart | Peddy: nope.. I didn't mean the tracker search thingy.. although you might be able to use that too | 11:49 |
| Peddy | Slart, so its just 'search'? | 11:49 |

| _jdd_ | Trist_an: yes, but how you do it depends on what language the script is in | 12:08 |
| dns53 | jokkaa you need to tell compiz to use the emerald instead of the gtk decorator | 12:08 |

| venkat | glitsj16 : ok | 12:10 |
| _jdd_ | Trist_an: not off the top of my head, but I know there are a few ways. you could possibly use sed. Google for "split string bash" without the quotes | 12:11 |
| arcsky | how do i unrar a many .rar files in the same time ? | 12:11 |
| jokkaa | koshari, " replace: No to-string for last from-string" im getting that message.. | 12:11 |
| Trist_an | _jdd_, I thought sed was only to manipulate lines but it would'nt modify something inside a single line... | 12:12 |
| koshari | jokkaa sorry, wrong way round, "emerald --replace | 12:12 |
| acee1234 | how do you install drivers in ubuntu | 12:13 |
| _jdd_ | Trist_an: you can return matches from sed by placing parentheses around things if I remember correctly. Just a sec | 12:13 |
| koshari | jokkaa providing you have emerald installed :-) | 12:13 |
| glitsj16 | venkat: there are several gstreamer plugins totem uses, you could check your synaptics and make sure you have at least gstreamer0.10-alsa, gstreamer0.10-pulseaudio, totem-gstreamer .. also the gstreamer0.10-plugins-bad *good and *ugly set are very usefull (for video support) | 12:13 |
| dns53 | acee1234 you generaly come with all the drivers you need, there are restricted drivers (binary proprietary) under system > administration > drivers | 12:14 |
| _jdd_ | Trist_an: as an example, this will output what wireless access point you are currently connected to: iwconfig 2>/dev/null | sed -n -e 's/.*ESSID:"\([^"]*\)".*/\1/p' | 12:14 |
| chr | hi....i cant find java 6 plugin in synaptic when searching.... | 12:14 |
| _jdd_ | Trist_an: \1 refers to the part in parentheses (specifically the first group of parentheses) | 12:15 |
| jokkaa | koshari, lol thx:p | 12:15 |
| koshari | acee1234 most drivers should autoload however yo may need to manually load somedrivers with modprobe | 12:15 |
| acee1234 | dns53: ok then perhapse im missing something else i plugged in the adapter but it doesnt show up in if config | 12:15 |
| chr | do i need extra repositories for java | 12:16 |
| jokkaa | koshari, still nothin happens.. | 12:16 |
| dns53 | acee1234 what hardware? | 12:16 |
| jokkaa | koshari, do i have to reboot or something | 12:16 |
| koshari | acee1234 do a dmesg after you attach the device and it will tell you if its detected | 12:16 |
| acee1234 | dns53: alfa G model awus03h | 12:17 |

| ne2k__ | if I cd to a directory that is a symbolic link, e.g. ~/PingerLogs -> /usr/local/myapp/var/log/pinger, the shell shows that I am in ~/PingerLogs. there is also a directory called ~/pinger with a file ~/pinger/ip_addrs.txt. from within ~/PingerLogs, I can type cat ../p<tab>/ip<tab> and get the command line cat ../pinger/ip_addrs.txt completed for me. however, cat then reports No such file or... | 12:17 |
| ne2k__ | ...directory, because /usr/local/myapp/var/log/pinger/../pinger/ip_addrs.txt does not exist. is this considered to be a bug? if so, in what? | 12:17 |
| Trist_an | _jdd_, thabks. In fact , I think what I was looking is the dirname command | 12:17 |
| jokkaa | koshari, yeah i have installed emerald. and i have the emerlad theme manager installed and running | 12:17 |
| _jdd_ | Trist_an: actually, I just found the utility dirname | 12:17 |
| _jdd_ | Trist_an: which seems to do exactly what you want. | 12:18 |
| dns53 | acee1234 ok wifi can have problems, the hardware manufacturers are hostile to linux, check the wiki and forums for suggestions | 12:18 |
| Trist_an | _jdd_, thanks ;) | 12:19 |
| koshari | jokkaa so your 3d is working? if you change to emerald do your window decorations change? | 12:19 |
| _jdd_ | Trist_an: was about to tell you about it. lol. | 12:19 |
| acee1234 | dns53: it came with linux drivers on the cd. I just dont know what to do with them | 12:19 |

| chriswr | i have no idea what that is | 12:23 |

| roachmmflhyr | I have loaed a few modules from a patched rtl-8185 driver to get my wifi working but after a restart I has to run insmod XXXXXX.ko commands to get my card working again how can I add this to startup? | 12:31 |
| jlc | update manager is locking up when I try to install the latest update "libpcre3" how do I close the process. | 12:31 |
| glitsj16 | EminX: the package you just downloaded and installed still resides on your system at /var/cache/apt/archives .. if you want to install it on another ubuntu machine, backup that entire dir (for possible dependencies) and copy it to the other pc .. there's also a package called aptoncd that might be worth a look for those kind of operations | 12:31 |

| dns53 | the program split can do this | 12:34 |
| EminX | glitsj16: if I install something from synaptic pm, does it save also the files on that cashe folder | 12:34 |

| _jdd_ | roachmmflhyr: yes, individually. | 12:34 |

| Slart | CanOfRats: one guess would be "join" | 12:35 |
| ubottu | beelzebub, please see my private message | 12:35 |
| fredreichbier | did ubuntu provide a bzr update recently? | 12:35 |
| glitsj16 | EminX: yes that's the default setting, if you haven't changed that in synaptic they should all be there | 12:35 |
| jokkaa | koshari, no.. perfect | 12:35 |
| jlc | glitsjl6, I may have it, lemme see. | 12:35 |
| Chaotic_Descent | what do they call those shortcuts in windows that launch applications? "shortcuts"? because I'm trying to find info on editing them and I can't find it. | 12:35 |
| Slart | CanOfRats: but it seems that wasn't correct.. you can use cat or something similar to join the files afterwards. | 12:35 |
| roachmmflhyr | _jdd_, such ass XXXXX.ko and such or do I create aliases? | 12:35 |
| Chaotic_Descent | er... this is Wine related, not Windows, just in case you're wondering why I'm asking about Windows in #ubuntu | 12:36 |

| EminX | glitsj16: ok i would ask you and some more questions about the way to install in other computers, if you have time | 12:36 |
| _jdd_ | roachmmflhyr: /etc/modules is a text file, a list of module names to load one at a time. these generally don't end in .ko | 12:36 |
| Pici | massmc: Please disable those sort of scripts if you are going to be going away in this channel. | 12:36 |
| koshari | jokkaa so why wont it let you select normal or extra effects on the visual effects tab in appearance prefs? | 12:36 |
| * massmc is away: I'm busy | 12:36 | |
| DIFH-iceroot | if i am using Kubuntu (kde 3.5.9) is the hole support until oct. 2009? or only the kde 3.5.9 support and the rest (ubuntu) has LTS? | 12:36 |
| glitsj16 | jlc: "killall update-manager" from terminal would also be an option i guess | 12:36 |
| jlc | glitsgl16, I don't see it, what other option do I have other than re-booting? | 12:36 |
| Chaotic_Descent | fredreichbier: ... I don't think so. hotkeys generally mean you press a few keyboard keys. I'm talking about a file that launches an application. | 12:37 |
| jokkaa | koshari, no idea.. screen turns white, and then back to none | 12:37 |

| roachmmflhyr | _jdd_, btw thanks for your help | 12:37 |
| _jdd_ | roachmmflhyr: if you can do "modprobe modulename" with no ko, you're good to stick the modules you need loaded into /etc/modules. I'm honestly a bit fuzzy on this, might have to go re-read some stuff | 12:37 |
| chriswr | plz help , whenever i try to install something in repo's i get this message E: timidity: subprocess post-installation script returned error exit status 1 | 12:37 |
| _jdd_ | roachmmflhyr: no problem. | 12:37 |
| fredreichbier | Chaotic_Descent: yes, it was only a idea ;) | 12:37 |
| EminX | glitsj16: so if I copy all the files on that folder, should I copy them in the same directory in other computers | 12:37 |
| Chaotic_Descent | fredreichbier: they're .lnk files. | 12:38 |
| Slart | chriswr: something went wrong installing timidity.. remove it and install it again.. | 12:38 |
| koshari | jokkaa dunno mate, theres a good reason i dont use ATI radeon , you will need someone who has a bit of experiance with radeons to walk you through. | 12:38 |

| alf | #ubuntu-es | 12:39 |
| jokkaa | koshari, any ideas what i could use insted? | 12:39 |
| Chaotic_Descent | I was hoping I could find some kind of thing in Wine that lets me edit the .lnk files in the start menus. | 12:39 |
| chriswr | slart: remove timidity or the thing i just installed? | 12:39 |
| Slart | Chaotic_Descent: well.. wine is for running windows programs.. it's not an emulation of a windows system.. there are other software for that | 12:39 |
| Pici | Chaotic_Descent: Because Wine is not an emulator, its an api implementation so the programs can run in linux | 12:39 |
| glitsj16 | EminX: correct, apt (the package manager) will find them there and not go out to the internet, on ubuntu machines this is, other linux distro's have similar but different package managers, just don't mix 'em and you'll be fine | 12:39 |
| Slart | chriswr: timidity | 12:39 |
| chriswr | j | 12:39 |
| chriswr | 'k | 12:39 |
| koshari | jokkaa btw your hardware should crap it in given i use ancient mx2 cards to successfully use compiz/emerald | 12:39 |
| Chaotic_Descent | ok, but doesn't Wine include most of the Windows OS apps? it's got stuff like notepad. | 12:40 |
| _jdd_ | roachmmflhyr: see around step 10 here: http://www.cyberciti.biz/tips/compiling-linux-kernel-module.html | 12:40 |
| glitsj16 | jlc: could be, but i don't know of anything recent, nor have other people reported problems that i know of | 12:40 |
| Pici | Chaotic_Descent: Those are still applications, not the entire windows 'experience' | 12:40 |
| koshari | jokkaa personally i would use nvidia or intel gpus however iam sure someone could coach you to get it to work | 12:40 |
| jlc | ty! | 12:40 |
| jokkaa | koshari, well ill click around and hope for the best xD | 12:41 |
| _jdd_ | roachmmflhyr: basically stick it under /lib/modules/$(uname -r)/ and add a line in /etc/modules | 12:41 |
| chriswr | slart: i got the same message again when i tried removing and installing again | 12:41 |
| EminX | glitsj16: thanx again (Y) | 12:41 |

| Slart | chriswr: or unmass.. whichever is causing this problem | 12:52 |

| glitsj16 | heh | 13:00 |
| Soopa | I have Apache installed on this PC and I want to be able to mess around with web pages in my ~ path | 13:00 |
| IntrepidOne | heh | 13:00 |
| Soopa | like http://localhost/~soopa | 13:00 |
| Soopa | can someone point me to a tutorial on how to set that up in apache? | 13:00 |
| Chaotic_Descent | Light-: what about a working directory? I looked that up online and it said to use the Ubuntu file address format and use a command like this: gnome-terminal --working-directory /home/yourlogin/.wine/drive_c/Program\ Files/EA\ GAMES/Battlefield\ 1942/ -x wine BF1942.EXE +game DC_Final | 13:01 |
| Circus-Killer | Soopa, best thing is to create a symlink | 13:01 |
| Circus-Killer | from a folder in your home directory to /var/www | 13:01 |
| Soopa | Circus-Killer: in /var/www? | 13:01 |
| Circus-Killer | delete www in /var | 13:01 |
| Light- | Chaotic_Descent: yes you can do that too, the \ is an escape character that you can use instead of quoting folder names | 13:02 |
| Soopa | there's a more elegant solution that that, isn't there? | 13:02 |
| Circus-Killer | then create a www symlink which points to a dir in your home | 13:02 |
| Chaotic_Descent | Light-: except mine isn't working. It doesn't do anything. | 13:02 |
| Soopa | well, I'd like to keep the root pages | 13:02 |
| Slart | Circus-Killer: I would say the other way around.. create a symlink in /var/www pointing to a folder in your home | 13:02 |
| Jurgeni | Soopa: in /etc/apache2/mods-available there are userdir.load and userdir.conf | 13:03 |
| seagullman | quick question (i think).. i believe i need to run modules-update or update-modules, but bash told me it is "deprecated and should not be used", what should i do? | 13:03 |
| sawyer_ | how could I make a directory listing that shows all the files in subdirectories, but so that each file has its respective path shown before the filename? | 13:03 |
| Soopa | so http://localhost would be different than http://localhost/~soopa | 13:03 |
| Circus-Killer | that what i just said, the www in /var must be the link, which points to an actually dir in /home/user | 13:03 |
| Jurgeni | Soopa: create symlinks to them in /etc/apache2/mods-enabled | 13:03 |
| Light- | Chaotic_Descent: Well, for starters did you change yourlogin to your actual login? also did you make sure that BF1942.exe exists in that directory? remember its case sensitive | 13:03 |
| Chaotic_Descent | can I use wine "D2Loader-1.12.exe -w" or do I use that without quotes? | 13:03 |
| Soopa | Jurgeni: aha, that's what I was looking for... thanks | 13:03 |
| Slart | Soopa: there are other ways to create sites in apache.. check the man page.. you can have different document roots for different sites.. as well as config files etc | 13:03 |
| Chaotic_Descent | Light-: yeah. I changed the path and filenames to my own... | 13:03 |
| Jurgeni | Soopa: ~/public_html will be in localhost/~username | 13:03 |
| glitsj16 | Soopa: a2enmod userdir, details --> http://clau.sparetimegroup.net/index.php/ubuntu/enabling-apache-user-home-public_html-directory-in-ubuntu-710/ (works for hardy just as well) | 13:03 |
| Light- | Chaotic_Descent: lol ok just checking. im not sure actually, try with and without quotes | 13:04 |

| chao1 | :'( | 13:04 |
| icesword | testdisk | 13:04 |
| icesword | try it | 13:04 |
| Chaotic_Descent | Light-: ug... that was ugly. then again, maybe it's supposed to do that. maybe that was the "-w" windowed mode. I couldn't resize it. | 13:05 |
| icesword | chao1, how do you mean "corrupted | 13:05 |
| Chaotic_Descent | Light-: well I WOULD, but I need to use a command-line option for it, which of course I can't DO because I can't edit .lnk files! | 13:05 |

| chao1 | in ubuntu | 13:06 |
| auror | i cant open it | 13:06 |
| Light- | Chaotic_Descent: well, if you cant get it to work by typing in the full path, just type "cd /path/to/exe" then "wine exe -options" | 13:06 |
| seagullman | quick question (i think).. i believe i need to run modules-update or update-modules, but bash told me it is "deprecated and should not be used", what should i do? | 13:06 |
| glitsj16 | chao1: were you able to see it before ? | 13:06 |
| chao1 | It was my main partition | 13:06 |
| Light- | Chaotic_Descent: You could then put those commands into a shell script so you can run the game by typing ./gamename | 13:07 |
| icesword | chao1, hmm, recommend you to reboot, | 13:07 |
| chao1 | I had a partition free | 13:07 |
| fosco_ | seagullman, mostly sure you do not need that, but try sudo depmod -a | 13:07 |
| chao1 | so i installed ubuntu on it. which is where I am | 13:07 |
| icesword | chao1, well, what did you do before you found something is wrong | 13:07 |
| chao1 | now | 13:07 |
| glitsj16 | chao1: okay, check out that data recovery page i'd suggest and look into ddrescue | 13:07 |
| icesword | chao1, i am confused | 13:07 |
| Chaotic_Descent | oh... oh just lovely. I didn't quit that messed up Wine game that opened... and now it's running in the background and I have no way to get to it. | 13:08 |
| chao1 | would you like to see it for your self? I have remote desktop available | 13:08 |
| chao1 | just gotta tell me how to let you see it | 13:08 |
| Chaotic_Descent | apparently it's not one of the apps I can alt-tab to. | 13:08 |

| icesword | glitsj16, what you say about chao1 's problems | 13:09 |
| Light- | Chaotic_Descent: type "ps -U yourusername", find the PID of the process, then "kill -9 PID" | 13:09 |
| seagullman | fosco_, thanks.. the thing is i installed cdemu from debs and afterwards the cdemu command didn't work. i've looked at installation instructions for source and i see that they do a modprobe after.. should i be doing that? | 13:09 |
| fosco_ | seagullman, not sure, never used that | 13:09 |
| seagullman | fosco_, ok, thanks anyway mate | 13:10 |
| Light- | Chaotic_Descent: Or an easier way would be to open System Monitor (system>admininstration) and right click teh process>kill | 13:10 |
| glitsj16 | icesword: hard to judge based on little or no detailed info, but ddrescue is a powerful tool if it's really corrupted, perhaps a simple fsck on the partiton might reveal that it's not all that messed up | 13:10 |
| chao1 | icesword: how would I give you remote desktop link? | 13:10 |
| Chaotic_Descent | I think the terminal that launched it killed it when I closed it... I'm just... wading through the muck. | 13:10 |

| icesword | chao1, don't do that | 13:11 |
| seagullman | fosco_, thanks heaps actually, depmod solved my problem | 13:11 |
| chao1 | ?? | 13:11 |
| icesword | glitsj16, i agree, but what to do | 13:11 |
| fosco_ | seagullman, nice to hear that ;) | 13:11 |
| _empemp_ | i have lost my direct rendering with 82855 intel card in ubuntu | 13:11 |

| chao1 | (system rescue cd is a live linux cd) | 13:12 |
| mysterycool | ubuntu 8.10 is out?! o_O | 13:12 |
| Pici | mysterycool: no. | 13:13 |
| glitsj16 | icesword: chao1 could try to run the fsck check on the drive from live cd, that at least is not so time-consuming than ddrescue doing a full device copy | 13:13 |
| mysterycool | oh k | 13:13 |
| chao1 | sorry I meant 8.04 | 13:13 |

| mysterycool | so i am correct, isnt ubuntu 8.10 coming out in september or october? | 13:13 |
| Slart | mysterycool: 8.10... 8 = 2008, 10 is month 10 ie october... | 13:13 |
| icesword | glitsj16, hmm, seems you guess his hd is broken most possibly? | 13:13 |
| db92 | Chaotic_Descent, this is not wine whine chan, #winehq would def be more appropriate | 13:13 |
| Pici | Chaotic_Descent: If you need specific help with an application in wine, #winehq is the place to be | 13:13 |
| _jdd_ | Chaotic_Descent: I don't run Diablo 2 in windowed mode. | 13:13 |
| Light- | Chaotic_Deescent: So what happens if you run it in fullscreen mode, but make Wine itself run inside a virtual desktop (window) | 13:14 |
| glitsj16 | icesword: don't know, the fsck will at least show some light on things for chao1 no ? | 13:14 |
| Chaotic_Descent | _jdd_: but can you alt-tab out and back without it? | 13:14 |
| jokkaa | Is there anyone who is good with ati drivers? My dual headed card shows samething on both screens but only one of them shows movies.. any help? | 13:14 |

| _jdd_ | Chaotic_Descent: No. | 13:15 |
| Chaotic_Descent | ehhh. they say the virtual desktop gets in the way of normal game input like hitting shifts and alts and mousebuttons at the same time. | 13:15 |
| glitsj16 | chao1: if you could paste it on the net somewhere and give us the link people can take a look yes | 13:15 |
| chao1 | just a quick question | 13:16 |
| glitsj16 | chao1: always a good idea to let several people take a peak, far from an expert in data recovery personally | 13:16 |
| glitsj16 | chao1: yes, ask away | 13:17 |
| chao1 | how do I find out which partitions are on my disk? I know I have everything in an extended partition (hda2) and I have one swap. but not sure what everything is | 13:17 |

| db92 | are there codecs on ubuntu for real files? (.rm) | 13:19 |
| glitsj16 | chao1: do you know what filesystem(s) the disk in question has ? fsck can do some repair attempts, but you'll need to know the correct switches, look at the "man fsck", i'm doing the same as we type | 13:19 |
| chao1 | it was ext3 | 13:19 |

| CostaRicanQuaker | what do i do? i already tried reinstalling from the download and nothinghappend | 13:19 |
| anewbie | are you sure that you type it corect | 13:20 |
| anewbie | sudo fsdisk -l | 13:20 |
| _jdd_ | CostaRicanQuaker: try typing fro and hitting tab in the terminal | 13:20 |
| anewbie | or if you are root withour sudo | 13:20 |
| glitsj16 | chao1: ok thx, i'll try to put together a fsck command you can run from live cd, just don't try to mount the partition in question, that could make things worse | 13:20 |
| icesword | anewbie, no, it is sudo fdisk -l | 13:20 |
| fvwmnet | anewbie: fdisk? | 13:20 |
| CostaRicanQuaker | so what is the command? | 13:21 |
| CostaRicanQuaker | of all of those? | 13:21 |
| CostaRicanQuaker | i'll remove it first and try reinstalling it | 13:21 |
| mechdave | glitsj16, can't you just boot the live disk and then run fsck /dev/whatever from a terminal? | 13:21 |

| glitsj16 | chao1: there's a few unrecovered read errors in there, boot from live cd like mechdave suggested and run "fsck /dev/sda2 (if that is the correct partition, thought you mentioned that during the conversation here) .. | 13:39 |
| fantomas | histo: is it ok to install package from skype.com for 7.04 on 8.04? | 13:39 |
| histo | fantomas: it is fine to install a stand a lone deb like that. | 13:39 |

| chao1 | well hda2 is my extended partition | 13:40 |

| ubottu | Welcome to #ubuntu - the Ubuntu support channel. | 13:46 |
| icesword | chao1, well, enough, | 13:46 |
| Pici | !botabuse | chao1 | 13:46 |
| ubottu | chao1: Please investigate with me only in /msg or in #ubuntu-bots (type also /msg ubottu Bot). Don't use commands in the public channels if you don't know if they really exist. Also avoid adding joke/useless factoids. | 13:46 |
| xnv | icesword: Not sure what the apt howto would tell me about the Intel Math Kernel library even if ubottu did know about it | 13:46 |
| chao1 | what was that about? | 13:47 |
| icesword | xnv, it is said you can use a command to solve depend problems | 13:47 |
| Soopa | what email client do you all use? I wonder if Evolution is the best or if there's a different one I should try... | 13:47 |
| itai | Soopa, i use thunderbird | 13:48 |
| Soopa | Yeah, I like thunderbird too | 13:48 |
| xnv | icesword: This is not an Ubuntu package that's having the problem, so I doubt apt would know anything about it. | 13:48 |
| chao1 | thunderbird is good. you can install themes there | 13:48 |

| Pici | chao1: ? | 13:51 |
| chao1 | why did you report me? | 13:51 |
| CostaRicanQuaker | fosco: i installed it | 13:51 |
| glitsj16 | chao1: going over the man page for fsck, i do think you should run it from a live cd, now fsck relies on your /etc/fstab to run the checks and that doesn't seem to work | 13:51 |
| CostaRicanQuaker | now what? will it work now | 13:51 |
| fosco_ | yes | 13:51 |
| fosco_ | Soopa, i use evolution | 13:51 |
| Pici | chao1: Report you? I told you to stop playing with the bots in here, you can play with them in #ubuntu-bots or in a private message | 13:51 |

| Pici | chao1: You cannot fsck a mounted partition | 14:17 |
| zero5liters | server irc.velocityirc.net | 14:17 |

| mechdave | now sudo fsck /dev/whatever | 14:19 |

| takamarou | bobertdos, I haven't gotten to the point where I choose the drivers. I'm still in the screen where I choose the printer, add a username and password, and press verify. When I press Verify it says "This print share is not available" | 14:33 |

| Jack_Sparrow | godzirra /join #ubuntu+1 and why not ask realtek when they are going to support linux | 14:34 |
| fantomas | Selenos: under buggy I mean - adjusting using mixer works only in alsamixer, but not in Gnome mixer which does something terrible - randomly and independently slides right and left channels). And I have no sound from microphone | 14:34 |

| Pici | adac: The default hosted path for apache is /var/www | 14:36 |

| unavailable | silverchair #6 | 15:23 |
| genii | sliverchair: Because Compiz just does that once in a while and then you need to restart whatever the decorator is for it | 15:23 |
| Lusule | why do i only seem to have one desktop now? how do i get more? | 15:23 |
| sliverchair | genii, I'm not sure, my it's Compiz or Java | 15:23 |
| Bubalooshi | I just don't know how to boot from an external CD drive | 15:24 |
| LaNCeloT_RW | godzirra, we can try with those from my tutorial just adding the line of your card, if it doesn´t work we can try with another from realtek website | 15:24 |
| abchirk | Bubalooshi normally put in the cd / dvd and set in bios to boot from that drive | 15:24 |
| godzirra | k. | 15:24 |

| abchirk | Bubalooshi yes you can remove the partition with it | 15:25 |

| LaNCeloT_RW | colton, Try with a sudo dpkg --clear-avail && sudo apt-get update | 16:05 |
| LaNCeloT_RW | colton, and then you try to do whatever you wree trying | 16:05 |
| melter | amenado: this is the man page for the interfaces file format, so isn't that the point? | 16:05 |

| godzirra | lol | 16:06 |

| amenado | melter well you have to read it carefully, and cite what you claim..i could not find anything that specifies to put in interfaces file..read the blurb again please | 16:06 |

| Jack_Sparrow | bonez44 yes | 16:08 |
| amenado | melter and also it states some of these clients use their own configuration files | 16:08 |
| Pici | bonez44: Thats compiz, and its available on many distributions | 16:08 |
| genii | vices: Likely it needs some additional options. For instance the ati installer needs running like bash/sh ati-whatever.run --buildpkg Ubuntu/hardy | 16:08 |
| colton | lancelot, it appears to be working, thanks a lot | 16:08 |
| melter | amenado: right, but ifup uses /sbin/dhclient3, /sbin/dhclient, /sbin/pump, /sbin/udhcpc, and /sbin/dhcpcd in that order | 16:09 |
| LaNCeloT_RW | colton, welcome ;-) | 16:09 |

| mytruehero | I'm trying to set up VNC server on a machine which I only have SSH access to. I have the server installed, and followed a tutorial that had me edit a few configuration files, but I get an error when I try to connect. ps aux shows that the server isn't running, and when I type "vncserver", it gives some promising looking output but still doesn't show up in ps aux and still doesn't allow me to connect. | 16:24 |

| slushpuppy\ | Hi, where is the configuration file for alsamixer? | 16:39 |
| glitsj16 | schone: yes, it's a text file, you can edit it with your favorite editor, like "sudo gedit /etc/fstab" to be able to edit and add entrees for them | 16:39 |
| MXIIA | Pici, I tried Xubuntu, didn't load | 16:39 |

| godzirra | LaNCeloT_RW: Is there a way to backup drivers from windows? | 16:43 |
| godzirra | I looked at the driver details, but there was only a .sys file listed there. | 16:43 |
| ZeroSerenity | I'm sitting here trying to do something stupid along the lines of "startx" but I know that can't be right. | 16:44 |
| Bodsda | tmTim-Work, try xubuntu it is for lower spec machines | 16:44 |
| schone | tahnks | 16:44 |
| Blinny | Pici: The funny thing is, I can lynx right to us.archive.ubuntu.com/ubuntu/dists/gutsy... etc | 16:44 |
| Pici | Blinny: darn. I was *just* going to ask you to try that | 16:44 |
| tmTim-Work | I run gnome on Debian just fine though, it has to be something else | 16:44 |
| glitsj16 | schone: can you paste your present /etc/fstab as well please ? so i don't add something you already have in there | 16:44 |
| LaNCeloT_RW | godzirra, look for the .inf file related to this .sys file .. they should have the same name | 16:44 |
| Bodsda | ZeroSerenity, 'start x' or 'sudo start x' something like that i think | 16:44 |
| Blinny | Pici: I got quick fingers (; | 16:44 |
| tmTim-Work | maybe some process that starts up automaticlly | 16:44 |
| godzirra | okay. | 16:45 |
| schone | glits : http://paste.ubuntu.com/28049/ | 16:45 |
| tmTim-Work | I'll look into the differences between xubuntu besies it being xfce instead of gnome | 16:45 |
| ZeroSerenity | Wait a sec. startx worked this time. I frigging hate using caps. | 16:45 |
| glitsj16 | schone: got it thx | 16:45 |

| fr4nk-k | Heroin: Well... looks correct; what exactly is the problem? | 17:07 |
| fwaokda | Where do i go to edit certain visual effects like title bar transparency of windows when they're not in use and stuff like that? | 17:07 |
| db92 | getBoa, so i activated hiddenmenu and set timeout to 0, so it all looks as if it boots as if theres no ubuntu there :P | 17:08 |

| Slart | will00: monitor? snmp can give you quite a lot of info | 18:06 |
| soundray | noriyuki: reinstall your current modules package and reboot: 'sudo apt-get --reinstall install linux-ubuntu-modules-$(uname -r)' | 18:06 |
| soundray | debCarlos: then you should know | 18:06 |
| chriswr | is it possible to dual boot 2 linux distros? | 18:06 |
| soundray | chriswr: of course | 18:06 |
| The_ManU_212 | chriswr: vmware | 18:06 |
| soundray | The_ManU_212: chriswr said dual-boot, not virtualization | 18:07 |
| Jack_Sparrow | chriswr yes | 18:07 |
| linuxkrn | anyone know how I can list all files and directories in an apt-get package? | 18:07 |

| fwaokda | when my ubuntu hardy laptop goes to standby it wont go back and I have to shut it down and restart to get it back up, where can i go to fix this??? | 18:07 |
| Jack_Sparrow | linuxkrn or use synaptic to review them | 18:07 |
| homy | Do you know where I can ask about GTKMM? | 18:08 |
| godzirra | soundray: gotcha, thanks | 18:08 |

| The_ManU_212 | soundhow is it possible to dualboot? | 18:08 |
| noriyuki | soundray: I am doing so I will tell you when its done | 18:08 |

| zaapiel | i won the nigerian lotto again | 18:09 |
| * zaapiel quickly emails them all his information | 18:10 | |
| soundray | The_ManU_212: you need to have the installation in different partitions (swap can be shared, unless you are planning to hibernate one while using the other). | 18:10 |
| barni_ | help please | 18:10 |
| sysop1972_ | jeruvy: do you do it from a cd or do you remove the linux hard drive and connect it to the windows system? | 18:10 |
| homy | I have a problem with gtkmm. Where can i ask? | 18:10 |
| soundray | The_ManU_212: the one that you install last will set up its boot loader on the hard disk. If it's Ubuntu, it will recognize if there is another distribution and will create an entry for it in the boot menu. | 18:10 |
| The_ManU_212 | soundand how to switch between them? | 18:10 |
| noriyuki | soundray: it should work now right? | 18:11 |
| Tm_T | hi kids | 18:11 |
| Slart | barni_: if you want someone to answer your question you've got to give people some more info | 18:11 |
| Jack_Sparrow | The_ManU_212 select on booting the system | 18:11 |
| soundray | noriyuki: don't know what else you might have changed. Perhaps you need to reinstall alsa packages, too | 18:11 |
| Jeruvy | sysop: yup, I have a drive dock that I just plug the drive into and it mounts | 18:11 |
| The_ManU_212 | soundray: how to leave ubuntu to switch to grub and boot the other without to shutdown | 18:11 |
| noriyuki | it says failed to connect stream invalid argument | 18:11 |
| barni_ | Slart: what info, my pc freezes every time/ | 18:11 |
| Slart | barni_: does it freeze all the time? after a set number of minutes? when you run a certain program? what kind of computer is it? anything in the logs? etc | 18:11 |
| Jack_Sparrow | The_ManU_212 Nope | 18:11 |
| seagullman | chriswr, i'm not one that should be giving advice but if nobody else is helping you i might be able to | 18:12 |
| bobJR | is there somthing to use beside symnatic for ubuntu | 18:12 |
| soundray | The_ManU_212: you have to hibernate or shutdown one to use the other. If you don't want that, then it's not dualbooting, but virtualization. | 18:12 |
| The_ManU_212 | Jack_Sparrow: ah i know i also have 3 systems, but i thought he wanted to run both on the same time | 18:12 |

| godzirra | Woo! | 18:12 |
| Jack_Sparrow | The_ManU_212 you will need a vm soultion to do that.. and they are far from perfect | 18:12 |
| soundray | !virtualization | The_ManU_212 | 18:12 |
| godzirra | Everything is copacetic. | 18:12 |
| ubottu | The_ManU_212: There are several solutions for running other operating systems (or their programs) inside Ubuntu, while using the native CPU as much as possible: !kvm is the preferred approach in Ubuntu. See also !QEmu (with !KQemu), !VirtualBox, !VMWare, as well as !WINE and !Cedega for Windows applications | 18:12 |
| seagullman | christel, sorry, not talking to you | 18:12 |
| noriyuki | soundray: this is what I have done > the command line you just wrote for me > sudo apt-get ubuntu-desktop > sudo apt-get alsa-base and all libs | 18:12 |
| chriswr | seagullman: can you dual boot any os? | 18:13 |
| noriyuki | soundray: and I also removed OSS I believe | 18:13 |
| soundray | noriyuki: that's nonsense | 18:13 |
| seagullman | chriswr, i think so, what do you want to do? | 18:13 |

| noriyuki | soundray: okay I follow you tell me what to do then plz Im frustrated | 18:14 |
| chriswr | seagullman: lol , i was hearing about something called vmware , you know anything about that? | 18:14 |
| Slart | !vmware | 18:14 |
| ubottu | VMWare Player is in Ubuntu's !Multiverse repository (package "vmware-player", only for Feisty and Edgy), and http://www.easyvmx.com/easyvmx.shtml can create VMs for it. Instructions can be found at https://help.ubuntu.com/community/VMware - See also !virtualizers | 18:14 |
| TuxguinIowa | it is a mmorpg for ubuntu | 18:15 |

| chriswr | thnx slart | 18:15 |

| rockenrola | does anyone know of a way or tool to retrieve all email addresses from an imap account? | 18:15 |
| barni_ | because it freezes suddenly, even if there are no programs at all | 18:15 |
| seagullman | chriswr, i saw them say that, and someone said "virtualization", i THINK it might be when you load an operating system within another | 18:15 |
| noriyuki | the command line you just wrote 5 mins ago? | 18:15 |
| Ab3L | hello | 18:15 |
| soundray | noriyuki: yes | 18:15 |
| noriyuki | soundray: no | 18:15 |
| seagullman | chriswr, probably wrong tho | 18:15 |
| Slart | barnie: ok, how many minutes are we talking about here.. 2 minutes? 20? 2000? | 18:16 |
| soundray | noriyuki: I did tell you to reboot, though | 18:16 |

| noriyuki | soundray: didnt see it sorry sir, ill be back in a min | 18:16 |

| fwaokda | When my hardy laptop goes into stand by it doesn't come back :( How can I go about fixing it? | 18:16 |
| XStylus | I downloaded it directly from gparted.sourceforge.net | 18:16 |
| chriswr | seagullman: k , i was seeing it on some forms and they said that they like BackTrack , and somone in here said that was vmware , so i guess ill look into it | 18:16 |

| XStylus | Gparted keeps giving me the error "partition cannot have a length of -1 sectors" | 18:17 |
| Slart | XStylus: ah.. but you don't need gparted to format a partition.. there are usually command line tools for that.. or you mean creating the partition? | 18:18 |
| slashzul | some more sophisticated network backup management tools - | 18:18 |
| andresj | in other words, whats the command to edit the init scripts? (to disable/enable) | 18:18 |

| fwaokda | cool, for ubuntu? | 18:18 |
| Slart | slashzul: there is at least one that does those things.. bakula perhaps.. | 18:18 |
| debCarlos | XStylus: Yes, there are command tools such as $ cfdisk or $ sfdisk or $ fdisk :) | 18:18 |
| XStylus | Slart: Would like to create and format the partition. | 18:18 |
| seagullman | chriswr, i just had a quick look on wikipedia, i vmware is used for virtualization, virtualization is like creating a simulation of a computer with certain hardware, if that makes sence | 18:18 |
| soundray | andresj: 'sudo update-rc.d apache2 remove' | 18:18 |

| noriyuki | soundray: no substancial result | 18:19 |
| andresj | soundray: thanks :) | 18:19 |
| apo | eh, wrong line. Let's try this again. | 18:19 |
| apo | Hi. I've just installed pam-mount and configured it. It seems to be working, but when I log in I get "done opening session (ret=0); Module is unknown; Clean global config (28); clean system authtok (28)" and go back to the login prompt | 18:19 |
| XStylus | I hope you'll forgive me in saying that I'd prefer something more GUI based, if one exists. | 18:19 |
| apo | /var/log/auth.log says that the unknown module is pam_open_session. | 18:19 |
| Jeruvy | arek_: its the same as one, but what are you using 2 for? | 18:19 |
| chriswr | seagullman: nope , not the least bit , probably not what i need though | 18:19 |
| apo | Any ideas what I'm doing wrong? | 18:19 |
| debCarlos | XStylus: cfdisk is very friendly, but remember, you have to run it as root | 18:19 |
| noriyuki | soundray: it still doesnt work | 18:19 |
| Slart | XStylus: hmm... If I were you I'd get the gparted live cd and create the partition from that.. that way you don't have to mess with the installed version of gparted | 18:19 |
| sysop1972_ | could someone send me a smb.conf file that is setup to share multiple folders with multiple users so I can modify it. | 18:19 |
| apo | (the done opening session... part is just the end of the log.) | 18:20 |
| Slart | XStylus: but it's your machine.. you decide | 18:20 |
| XStylus | So is it bad when "cfdisk" gives me "FATAL ERROR: Cannot open disk drive"? | 18:20 |
| debCarlos | XStylus: Slart is right :) | 18:20 |
| seagullman | chriswr, if you just want to load another os on your harddrive i could help ya | 18:20 |
| soundray | noriyuki: perhaps try reinstalling alsa-base and alsa-utils as well, in case you've overwritten anything that was in those packages | 18:20 |
| seagullman | chriswr, couldn't tell you which os to choose tho | 18:20 |
| chriswr | seagullman: i guess i could try windows with it | 18:20 |
| chriswr | since i allready have it installed | 18:20 |
| soundray | noriyuki: beyond that, I won't be able to help you. Do ask the channel again, but consider that you may have to backup and reinstall. | 18:20 |
| debCarlos | XStyus: You need to call it giving the drive you want to edit, something like $ cfisk /dev/roudrive | 18:20 |
| noriyuki | soundray: I already tried that several times in the past. no changes | 18:20 |
| noriyuki | yea I think I will reformat | 18:21 |
| seagullman | chriswr, what are you running now? | 18:21 |
| seagullman | chriswr, ubuntu i guess | 18:21 |
| noriyuki | soundray: I cant find any solution so I think I will reformat | 18:21 |
| chriswr | seagullman: yep | 18:21 |
| seagullman | chriswr, so you only have ubuntu on and you want to add something else? | 18:21 |
| soundray | noriyuki: backup your /home of course, and perhaps /etc so you can refer to it. Maybe also /var/cache/apt/archives so you won't have to re-download everything. | 18:21 |
| seagullman | chriswr, do you know about partitioning? | 18:22 |
| chriswr | seagullman: i got windows xp installed also | 18:22 |

| chriswr | seagullman: i only have one hdd btw and yes i did jack_sparrow | 18:28 |
| noriyuki | soundray: but it doesnt show any other monitor but the laptop's | 18:28 |
| Jack_Sparrow | !enter > joshua__ | 18:28 |
| ubottu | joshua__, please see my private message | 18:28 |
| seagullman | Jack_Sparrow, you might wanna take over if you have the time, i dont know a whole lot | 18:29 |
| joshua__ | how do i install ndiswrapper on ubuntu | 18:29 |
| joshua__ | how do i install ndiswrapper on ubuntu? | 18:29 |
| soundray | noriyuki: you may have to restart X so it will be detected | 18:29 |
| LSD|Ninja | fyrfry: try picking a monitor that's reasonably close and then seeing what it gives you. All picking a monitor does really is set the resolution/refresh limits | 18:29 |
| soundray | !ndiswrapper > joshua__ | 18:29 |
| ubottu | joshua__, please see my private message | 18:29 |
| noriyuki | so it is not plug and play | 18:29 |
| soundray | noriyuki: no | 18:30 |
| joshua__ | yeah thanks... i try the forum but get stuck | 18:30 |
| fyrfry | LSD|Ninja: I just tried LCD widescreen 1440x900 which is exactly what I have. It went to a screen full of grey/white/black squigles and such | 18:30 |
| Jack_Sparrow | seagullman I just sat back down so I am not up to speed on his problem | 18:30 |
| joshua__ | where is the ndiswrapper directory? and debian directory? | 18:30 |
| seagullman | chriswr, anyway so what you should do is download gnome partition editor | 18:30 |
| soundray | joshua__: please read the link that ubottu sent to you | 18:30 |
| chriswr | seagullman: is it in repos? | 18:30 |
| noriyuki | soundray: THere is no way to configure it as plug and play | 18:31 |
| joshua__ | soundray i'm using them | 18:31 |
| joshua__ | but i can't find the directory | 18:31 |
| seagullman | chriswr, you should download an iso for it, search google, burn it to cd and you need to boot off it | 18:31 |
| soundray | joshua__: what do you mean by 'directory'? Have you installed the package? | 18:31 |
| fyrfry | LSD|Ninja: I've just tried several different options and they all yield the same thing | 18:31 |
| debCarlos | XStylus: You said you have downloaded GPARTED from sourceforge ? | 18:31 |
| Jack_Sparrow | !gparted | 18:31 |
| ubottu | gparted is a !GUI partitioning program. Type « sudo apt-get install gparted » in a console to install it - A GParted "live" CD is available at http://gparted.sourceforge.net/livecd.php | 18:31 |
| XStylus | debCarlos: Correct, but did not succeed in installing it. | 18:32 |
| soundray | noriyuki: it depends on your graphics card | 18:32 |
| joshua__ | i get a package that ends in tar.gz | 18:32 |
| LSD|Ninja | fyrfry: sounds like sopmething else is b0rken then, any driver or X upgrades recently? | 18:32 |
| joshua__ | i believe i installed it | 18:32 |
| chriswr | seagullman: ummm , theres in repos , you just want me to make a cd though? | 18:32 |
| joshua__ | but only have a folder | 18:32 |
| XStylus | debCarlos: I originally had gparted from apt-get | 18:32 |
| joshua__ | on desktop | 18:32 |
| soundray | noriyuki: just restart your X and try System-Preferences-Screen Resolution again | 18:32 |
| seagullman | Jack_Sparrow, he wants to install a third operating system, he has only a windows partition and installed ubuntu within it | 18:32 |
| chriswr | seagullman: im just gona do windows and ubuntu right now | 18:32 |
| === xxxbuntu is now known as FoneHome | ||
| XStylus | debCarlos: I'm hoping that an updated version of gparted will have the -1 sector glitch rectified, on the hope that the glitch is in gparted and not with the RAID somehow. | 18:33 |
| noriyuki | soundray: I just rebooted the X, it still doesnt recognize the monitor | 18:33 |
| soundray | !enter | joshua__ | 18:33 |
| ubottu | joshua__: Please try to keep your questions/responses on one line - don't use the "Enter" key as punctuation! | 18:33 |
| fyrfry | LSD|Ninja: it's been a few days since it happened and I'm not on much these days so I can't remember. I have done nothing but dl the usual updates for the last few weeks | 18:33 |
| chriswr | seagullman: just wanting to dual boot them though | 18:33 |
| noriyuki | soundray: I have a 7400 nvidia | 18:33 |
| XStylus | debCarlos: But testing initalization of the raid with other methods is a good way to test that though... :) | 18:33 |
| debCarlos | XStylus: Ok, you extrcted the .tar.bz2 archive ? | 18:33 |
| seagullman | chriswr, well the one in the repos will allow you to run it in ubuntu, but you wanna boot off the cd so you can modify your harddrive | 18:33 |
| === xxxbuntu is now known as FoneHome | ||
| XStylus | debCarlos: Yes. | 18:33 |
| debCarlos | XStylus: How do you tried to install it ? | 18:33 |
| soundray | noriyuki: which driver are you using? | 18:33 |
| chriswr | seagullman: allright , you know a web site , or do i need to just google it up? | 18:34 |
| joshua__ | ok. so if i got it where would i go to find it? | 18:34 |
| Jack_Sparrow | chriswr get the stand alone livecd of gparted. that is good advice | 18:34 |
| debCarlos | *did | 18:34 |
| seagullman | chriswr, just google "gparted", should be easy | 18:34 |
| XStylus | debCarlos: Went to the gparted-0.3.8 directory, typed ./configure, got an error. | 18:34 |
| === xxxbuntu is now known as fonehome | ||
| noriyuki | soundray: hardware drivers > Nvidia acelerated graphics card | 18:34 |
| chriswr | allright | 18:34 |
| soundray | noriyuki: in that case, try setting it up through nvidia-settings | 18:35 |
| debCarlos | XStylus: checking for XML::Parser... configure: error: XML::Parser perl module is required for intltool ?? | 18:35 |
| soundray | noriyuki: you may have to 'sudo apt-get install nvidia-settings' | 18:35 |
| Jack_Sparrow | !gparted > chriswr | 18:35 |
| ubottu | chriswr, please see my private message | 18:35 |
| seagullman | chriswr, sorry am i misunderstanding? you installed ubuntu within windows yes? or did you just try it out or something? | 18:35 |
| joshua__ | can i get help properly loading and running ndiswrapper? | 18:36 |
| XStylus | debCarlos: More like: "configure: error: C compiler cannot create executables. See 'config.log' for more details." | 18:36 |
| seagullman | if anyone thinks the advice i'm giving is bad, please speak up. i'm not exactly skilled at this but i have done it | 18:36 |
| seagullman | in regards to chriswr's case | 18:36 |
| soundray | joshua__: what's wrong with what's on the website? You need to say exactly where you get stuck. | 18:37 |
| pdlnhrd | can anyone help with getting a tv video card to work? | 18:37 |
| debCarlos | XStylus: Can you paste your config.log in pastebin ? | 18:37 |
| Jack_Sparrow | seagullman You are fine... nudge me if you have a question.. I am trying to get some other work done | 18:37 |
| debCarlos | !pastebin | 18:37 |

| chriswr | seagullman: try it out , i have no idea how to , i can run windows and i can run ubuntu , but i want to boot them up at the same time , and have 1 desktop of my cube effect as windows , and the others just my ubuntu | 18:37 |
| netham45 | I'm trying to use xUbuntu, an XBox port of Ubuntu, but it just crashes when I try to start X. From what I've read, I believe it's an issue with the xcalibur video encoder, but I don't know how to fix it. Any ideas? | 18:37 |
| joshua__ | after download the site says to untar it and go to the directory, where is the directory? | 18:38 |
| XStylus | debCarlos: Just a sec | 18:38 |
| chriswr | seagullman: right now if i wanted to use windows i would have to fully restart and choose windows | 18:38 |

| Slart | herrmess: I'm just guessing but I think some clients need one open port per torrent.. it could have just two ports to chose from? | 18:52 |
| td123 | herrmess: I think the limit can be set in the preferences. btw, having more then 2 torrents active won't get them any quicker :) | 18:52 |
| axenory | soundray: so how can I make a backup only for the programs installed at least so I dont have to write down everything and install them again.....? | 18:52 |

| ManicDeity | chriswr the XP is on a different partition, right? Just wipe that partition. | 18:53 |

| Jack_Sparrow | chriswr I need to run but there is lots of good help in here | 18:53 |
| joshua__ | soundray its says: Realtek Semiconductor Co., Ltd. RTL8101E PCI Express Fast Ethernet controller (rev 01). does that help? | 18:53 |

| XStylus | Er... sorry, that was for Flannel | 18:54 |
| soundray | axenory: do you remember the name of the package that ruined it for you? If so, you can edit the file ~/my-packages and remove the lines that relate toit. | 18:54 |
| chriswr | manicdeity: i ran the ubuntu install cd in windows , does that make a difference? | 18:54 |
| alraune | rubydiamond : i've done just the other way, but ubuntu got working imaging machines, too | 18:54 |
| Slart | herrmess: hmm.. then I have no idea.. perhaps the developer thought only using two torrents at a time was a decent setting everyone should use? =) | 18:54 |
| axenory | mmmmm its getting a little complicated I cant understand pretty well:) | 18:55 |
| herrmess | Slart :) my guess is that the upload is low so the torrents are limited by number. | 18:55 |
| joshua__ | thanks legend | 18:55 |
| soundray | legend2440: thanks -- joshua__, is that what you have, a gateway t-1620? | 18:55 |

| axenory | I will come later I have to eat.....lll | 18:55 |
| td123 | herrmess: try using a different app for torrents if you're unhappy, that's the great thing about choice:P | 18:55 |
| soundray | axenory: then don't clone -- just reinstall and install only the packages you know are safe | 18:56 |

| soundray | summatusmentis: does it work when you use the bridging option? | 19:04 |

| LSD|Ninja | eclipse is java iirc, it's almost impossible for a java app to be 'light' | 19:04 |
| soundray | joshua__: yes, everything between the 'quote' marks | 19:04 |
| joshua__ | okay. I did that and got nothing back | 19:04 |
| summatusmentis | soundray: I don't know, I don't believe bridging works when I'm on wireless | 19:04 |
| herrmess | Anjuta... ok, let's try. | 19:04 |
| soundray | joshua__: try a 'sudo modprobe rtl8187' and see if it reports anything | 19:04 |

| ere4si | sidelil: sudo apt-get remove --purge should work | 19:07 |
| soundray | legend2440: I know, I was hoping to avoid the compile route, because Ubuntu may have updated the driver since that page was written | 19:07 |
| Jack_Sparrow | chriswr yes, you can still dual boot if you do a normal install on a sep partition | 19:07 |
| sidelil | ere4si, it doesn't unfortunately | 19:07 |
| legend2440 | soundray: oh ok | 19:07 |

However, it's performance lately has been pretty bad, so I contacted Belkin, and they sent me a replacement. The replacement is a V. 8000. I plugged this into the laptop, and restricted drivers manager detected it, and said that its an Atheros card, and gave me two checkboxes to check for it, I did, then it restarted my system. | 19:09 |
| maryam | Well, now it says that the drivers are in place, but I am unable to access the wireless card | 19:09 |

| soundray | joshua__: in that case, you should try to compile a driver yourself. Instructions on https://help.ubuntu.com/community/WifiDocs/Device/RealtekRTL8187b | 19:15 |
| Slart | palomer: I've been lucky so far.. haven't found a img-file that wasn't also an iso | 19:15 |
| jeffluo | Is there anyone from China? | 19:15 |

| Slart | !ch | jeffluo | 19:15 |
| ubottu | Sorry, I don't know anything about ch | 19:15 |
| Slart | !cn | jeffluo | 19:15 |
| ubottu | jeffluo: For Ubuntu help in Chinese 您可以访问中文频道： #ubuntu-cn 或者 #ubuntu-tw 或者 #ubuntu-hk | 19:15 |
| daxroc | I would much prefer a more stable release than many poor ones ... Guess I am alone on that one | 19:15 |

| kernelupdate | Slart: any way I can know how there's no problems? | 19:16 |
| neoncore | when i reboot | 19:16 |
| debCarlos | XStylus: ? | 19:16 |
| LSD|Ninja | daxroc: LTS releases let breakage slide because they have 3 years to fix it | 19:16 |
| Slart | kernelupdate: mm.. I would try doing that update again... if it wasn't completed it should redo it.. | 19:16 |
| fxkr | Slart: which plays nicely together with the "I have no name!" prompt | 19:16 |
| neoncore | it kind loads some | 19:16 |
| neoncore | after that | 19:16 |
| Slart | kernelupdate: but check what kernel you have running.. uname -a | 19:16 |
| XStylus-LX | debCarlos: Still here | 19:16 |
| neoncore | Loading Please wait | 19:16 |
| neoncore | and | 19:16 |
| debCarlos | XStylus, did you make the ls -a /dev/i2o ? | 19:16 |
| neoncore | tell's me if i want to execute commands as root | 19:16 |
| neoncore | sudo and etc.. | 19:16 |

| XStylus-LX | debCarlos: Wasn't even worth postbinning. It was just this: " . .. hda" | 19:17 |
| Slart | kernelupdate: that sounds like the latest one.. perhaps it was completed then | 19:17 |
| Slart | fxkr: ah.. | 19:17 |
| kernelupdate | I hope so... | 19:17 |
| neoncore | hello please help | 19:17 |
| kernelupdate | it's just that I don't know if any other update was incomplete... | 19:17 |
| fxkr | Slart: but i have another idea: i ran "whoami", which gave me: "whoami: cannot find name for user ID 1002" | 19:17 |
| soundray | joshua__: if not, ask the nice people in this channel again -- be patient though, sometimes it takes some time to find someone who will help. | 19:17 |
| kernelupdate | thanks anyway | 19:17 |

| Slart | neoncore: not if you keep shouting | 19:18 |

| itsme | hi everyone, Im in a doubt... Im tryin to find out what version of ubuntu its the best for my laptop... I have an Intel Centrino duo, and I saw there are two versions of ubuntu, 32bits and 64bits... which one should I download? | 19:18 |
| Slart | neoncore: but it helps if you actually repeat your question | 19:18 |
| === julia_ is now known as Guest59372 | ||
| Slart | neoncore: you have a reason to shout at us?.. oh.. please tell me that reason | 19:19 |
| XStylus | debCarlos: Did you still need me to postbin it anyway...? | 19:19 |
| daxroc | LSD|Ninja: Thinking of going back to Gentoo , at least their honest :P | 19:19 |
| debCarlos | XStylus, mm, weird :) ... anyway, good news, i already solved the lbuuid thing, you have to download this package ( http://ufpr.dl.sourceforge.net/sourceforge/e2fsprogs/e2fsprogs-libs-1.41.0.tar.gz), it is e2fsprogs-libraries. Then install it, for that, move tha package to /usr/src, then extract it and run as root # ./configure && make && make install | 19:19 |
| Hardy_Feisty | maybe he wants to become ruler of the world with some hidden virus | 19:19 |
| neoncore | becouse i said the question with no answer at all | 19:19 |
| LSD|Ninja | How did he make his money anyway, he's South African and apartheid's only been over for 15 years or so... | 19:19 |

| td123 | neoncore: stop acting like a spoiled child and find the answer yourself, if people don't know what the answer is!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!1 | 19:19 |
| XStylus | debCarlos: Cool on the libuuid. I'd be happier if we can fix the raid though... :P | 19:19 |
| itsme | 32bits or 64bits for intel centrino duo?? | 19:20 |
| LSD|Ninja | itsme: Core Duo or Core 2 Duo? | 19:20 |
| neoncore | at least they could say td123 | 19:20 |
| Slart | neoncore: and how does that make it ok for you to shout at me? my name is Markus, I'm from Sweden.. I work as a teacher during the daytime, I sometimes help people out here because it's fun most of the time.. now tell me again why you are shouting at me | 19:20 |
| neoncore | that they don't know | 19:20 |
| itsme | LSD|Ninja, intel centrino 2 duo | 19:20 |
| XStylus | debCarlos: Let me take a moment to try the libuuid stuff for a sec | 19:20 |
| LSD|Ninja | itsme: Core Duo is 32, Core 2 Duo is either/or (though unless you have or need more than 4GB RAM stick with 32) | 19:20 |
| debCarlos | XStylus: It's another step to the solution... install a easy to use GUI | 19:20 |

| deathchimp | so, i have a question. Can anyone point me to an article explaining why flash wont play any audio in hardy? | 19:21 |
| dru | hey on my moms linux computer at her house .. the internet does not connect, so i brought the tower over to my house and and the internet connected fine right away ... does this mean it is her modem that is not connecting or what? | 19:21 |
| XStylus | debCarlos: 404 error on the link | 19:21 |
| itsme | LSD|Ninja, it says intel core 2 duo, i have 2gb ram | 19:21 |
| Slart | palomer: there is a img to iso conversion program.. it's probably named something like img2iso.. search in synaptic for img, I'm sure you'll find it | 19:21 |

| daxroc | itsme: you can check your processor specs under the live cd via cat /proc/cpuinfo | 19:22 |
| Slart | deathchimp: flash and sound sometimes work.. sometimes not.. are you using pulseaudio? | 19:23 |
| === dorins_ is now known as dorins | ||
| deathchimp | slart yes, all that works on my system | 19:23 |
| neoncore | deathchimp is your card builtin | 19:23 |
| neoncore | ? | 19:23 |
| Slart | deathchimp: do this.. "sudo apt-get install pavucontrol paman padevchooser" those are pulseaudio tools | 19:23 |
| deathchimp | slart, yes AVI files play fine, sound card is built in, but only cause the other one is creative XFI | 19:24 |

| deathchimp | slart, thank you, have to wait for an update to complete before i try it | 19:25 |
| neoncore | Start did you read my proplem | 19:25 |
| legend2440 | deathchimp: do what Slart says but also sometimes installing libflashsupport helps its a Support library for sound output of Flash 9 with pulseaudio | 19:25 |
| Slart | deathchimp: my guess is that flash is trying to play audio on your xfi or something.. but we'll see when those tools are installed | 19:25 |

| Slart | deathchimp: it works now? | 19:34 |
| deathchimp | slart yea, no idea why | 19:35 |
| dr_Willis | sns, if using the nvidia drivers, i normally tweak mine with the 'nvidia-settings' tool thats in the repositries | 19:35 |
| wild_oscar | I *thought* it would enable or disable network | 19:35 |
| jeffluo | .. | 19:35 |
| Slart | deathchimp: wow.. this wasn't supposed to fix anything.. but hey.. if it works.. great =) | 19:35 |
| wild_oscar | but it's a rather useless button | 19:35 |
| deathchimp | slart thanks man, no idea must have just kicked it. | 19:35 |
| wild_oscar | sns: what seems to be the problem? | 19:35 |
| sns | dr_Willis: tried that. can try it again | 19:35 |
| debCarlos | Weird... run $ sudo passwd and enter the new unix password (To root) then run $ su , enter that pass and try it again :) | 19:35 |
| XStylus | debCarlos: "su root" asks for a password I don't have (and never put in for root) | 19:35 |
| Slart | deathchimp: hehe.. perhaps installing those tools restarted pulseaudio.. well well | 19:35 |
| sns | wild_oscar: problem is that I can't get it to show any other resolutions than 640x480 and 800x600 | 19:36 |
| hittingpilot | My flash player won't let youtube videos go full screen | 19:36 |
| Slart | XStylus: there is no root password in ubuntu | 19:36 |
| easylabs | i have a real problem any one can help¿? | 19:36 |
| dr_Willis | bbarton, somthing is seriously weird if you are trying to run a 'linux' dns client with wine. You may want to tell the channel the original problem and what you are trying to do. (not me, i gotta help the wife) | 19:36 |
| XStylus | Slart: So then I assume there's no way to "su" to root then? | 19:36 |
| wild_oscar | sns: what videocard do you have? have you tried changing it manually in xorg.conf? | 19:36 |
| dr_Willis | XStylus, there is.. but no real need to. | 19:36 |
| Slart | XStylus: well.. you shouldn't really have to su to root.. but if you really really have to you can use sudo -i | 19:36 |
| td123 | XStylus, to set a root password. Do "sudo passwd root" | 19:36 |
| sns | nvidia 7150 | 19:37 |
| LSD|Ninja | XStylus: everything you need root for in general use can be handled with sudo on Ubuntu | 19:37 |
| rockenrola | XStylus: well in the terminal you could do "sudo bash" that gives you a root terminal | 19:37 |
| db92 | aptitude wants to remove some packages it considers unnecessary, is this safe? | 19:37 |
| XStylus | That's about what I figured. | 19:37 |
| Slart | XStylus: but think twice before you do it.. ubuntu is designed to use sudo and such.. | 19:37 |
| alraune | sns :as using no hdtv, i'm carefull : usually settings are stored /etc/X11/xorg.conf, to configure it takes (sudo terminal) dpkg-reconfigure -phigh xserver.xorg | 19:37 |
| Slart | db92: it usually is.. what packages does it want to remove? | 19:37 |
| td123 | XStylus, your best bet is to do sudo bash if you want root terminal | 19:37 |
| harvey1 | quick shell script problem, how do you define parameters, I tried MODE="-l" ls $MODE, but I get invalid options | 19:37 |
| debCarlos | XStylus, you have to give the root a pasword, you can do it by typing $ sudo passwd then enter NEW root password.... then $ su :) | 19:38 |
| db92 | Slart, plenty of stuff, but im just worrying cos it looks as if its going to remove mpeg codecs or something :\ | 19:38 |
| sns | alraune: I know that. Problem seems to be a bit more complex I'm sorry to say | 19:38 |
| db92 | Slart, sec pasting | 19:38 |
| Slart | db92: did you remove any software recently? | 19:38 |
| db92 | Slart, http://paste.ubuntu.com/28098/ | 19:38 |
| db92 | Slart, well i did remove kubuntu desktop few hours ago, but i still got that message before doing that :\ | 19:39 |
| hittingpilot | My firefox won't display youtube videos full screen | 19:39 |
| Slart | db92: ouch.. that's a lot of software.. I'd be careful | 19:39 |
| debCarlos | XStylus, i'm going to eat, wait me for 5 minutes :) | 19:39 |
| wild_oscar | sns: do you have the command nvidia-settings ? | 19:39 |
| db92 | Slart, aptitude just insists on removing it | 19:39 |
| XStylus | debCarlos: Well, apparently su root pwned sudo because it's compiling it now. | 19:39 |
| db92 | Slart, i cant proceed without doing so :\ | 19:39 |
| avis | has anyone had any experience with sbackup creating tar files that cannot be opened ? it seems like the tar process it yields never ends | 19:40 |
| Slart | db92: if I were you I'd ask this question to one of the local guru's.. | 19:40 |
| XStylus | debCarlos: Catch ya' when you get back. Thanks for all your help thus far. | 19:40 |
| db92 | Slart, and that would be? :/ | 19:40 |
| sns | wild_oscar: yes. But resolution makes the app unusable | 19:40 |
| harvey1 | ls '$MODE' doesnt help either | 19:40 |
| alraune | sns : thought so, could you paste your /var/log/Xorg.0.log | 19:40 |

| johnny05 | Hey guys. Setting up an apache server. It's all running fine, but for some reason apache doesn't have access to some directories. I've tried chmod 777 on everything and that works, but there has to be a better way. I think it has something to do with the user that is creating the directories not belonging to the group that the webserver belongs to, but i'm not sure. | 19:44 |

| db92 | Pici, been days since i last used it | 19:47 |
| Slart | Pici: I guess he'll have to reinstall them when aptitude is done.. | 19:47 |
| Cheery | what are the differences with ubuntu and debian really? they seem like a same system, ubuntu just has more updated repositories | 19:47 |
| XStylus | debCarlos: su root got the package installed. Then went back to gparted and did ./configure. Now it's saying it needs libparted 1.7.1 | 19:47 |
| Pici | db92: then it looks okay to me. | 19:47 |
| bullgard4 | Is it customary to block port 113 or leave it open? | 19:47 |

| sheep | bullgard4: if it's casuing problems with irc and you aren't running an ident daemon, try blocking it | 19:48 |
| Slart | johnny05: there is a "groups" command to list the groups | 19:48 |
| Slart | johnny05: there might be some switches for it.. check the man pages.. see if they mention any other commands | 19:48 |
| debCarlos | XStylues: Yeah, it says that to me too. But for libparted you need readline :S | 19:48 |

| debCarlos | XStylus, readline : (http://ftp.gnu.org/gnu/readline/readline-5.2.tar.gz) and parted: (http://ftp.gnu.org/gnu/parted/parted-1.8.8.tar.gz) you have to do the same thing you did with e2fsprogs-libraries with them :) | 19:50 |

| loquitus_of_borg | Slart: keep in mind that if I run xclock, it runs the remote version | 20:20 |
| Slart | simotempler: on gparted, the menu gparted, click on show features.. is ntfs listed there? | 20:20 |

| umanerrr | Hi there everyone. I was trying to create away to be notified on my cellphone when someone from my msn messenger contact list signed on. I was trying to do this by having aMSN running and having a custom command executed once a specific person logged in. I installed msmtp and mailx and i am able to send emails with the following command "echo "subject: testing" | msmtp recipien@domain.com". The problem is that it only sends a blank email, with a subject. I | 20:21 |
| umanerrr | need to be able to define the body of the message because i cannot receive blank messages on my phone. Could anybody please help me out. i read the msmtp manual and was not able to find how to define the message. If someone knows how to do it with msmtp or with another app that can send emails with a single command on the command line that would be great, thanks in advance. (ps: to receive the messages on my phone i set the recipient to | 20:21 |

| simotempler | Slart sorry | 20:21 |
| Slart | simotempler: are you sure you've got ntfs-3g installed? | 20:21 |
| bonez45 | Slart: if my system shows that compiz-fusion is installed and newest version, what's required to enable it.. to have it running? | 20:22 |

| debCarlos | Anyone knows what happened to XStylus ? | 20:22 |
| loquitus_of_borg | Slart: nope... that's why I am asking here. | 20:22 |
| XStylus | I'm here | 20:22 |
| debCarlos | ok | 20:22 |
| dr_Willis | shah, put a PROPER entry in fstab. :) its not a list of moutn commands.. the syntax is different. | 20:22 |
| XStylus | Sorry, just NOW looked back to the chat window. ^^;;; | 20:22 |
| debCarlos | XStylus, i didn't see you :), how is it going ? | 20:22 |
| Slart | simotempler: hmm.. hang on.. let me check something | 20:22 |
| simotempler | Slart: is FAT16 or FAT32 a bad idea for a drive this large | 20:23 |
| Slart | loquitus_of_borg: very strange | 20:23 |
| dr_Willis | shah /dev/XXX /media/winstorage ntfs-3g defaults,locale=en_US.UTF-8 0 1 | 20:23 |
| Slart | simotempler: how large is it? | 20:23 |
| bonez45 | Slart: ok......once installed, should compiz-fusion just run, or do I have to configure it before it will run? | 20:23 |
| simotempler | 320GB | 20:23 |
| linxeh | simotempler: fat32 is fine | 20:23 |
| Slart | bonez45: you probably need 3d accelerated graphics drivers of some kind.. | 20:23 |
| Slart | simotempler: fat32 should be ok.. it's not perfect but it's ok | 20:23 |
| XStylus | Bumpy. Installed readline and parted, then attempted to make gparted again, no joy. | 20:23 |
| Slart | simotempler: fat16 is a very very bad idea | 20:24 |
| simotempler | is it as good as or better than NTFS for bot windows and linux | 20:24 |
| linxeh | simotempler: NTFS is far better for Windows use | 20:24 |
| XStylus | debCarlos: Trying one more trick | 20:24 |
| Slart | simotempler: ah.. figured it out.. you need ntfsprogs installed too | 20:24 |
| linxeh | simotempler: and with NTFS3G you should be ok on linux | 20:24 |
| simotempler | hmmm how can i format it to that so | 20:24 |
| Slart | !info ntfsprogs | 20:24 |
| ubottu | ntfsprogs (source: linux-ntfs): tools for doing neat things in NTFS partitions from Linux. In component main, is optional. Version 2.0.0-1ubuntu2 (hardy), package size 262 kB, installed size 672 kB | 20:24 |
| XStylus | debCarlos: And it too failed. Still says "requires libparted >= 1.7.1" | 20:25 |
| debCarlos | XStylus: I said you, you have to install libparted-dev with $ aptitude install libparted1.7-dev | 20:25 |
| XStylus | And I know for certain its installed. | 20:25 |
| simotempler | Slart checking now | 20:25 |
| Slart | simotempler: so, sudo apt-get install ntfsprogs, restart gparted and it should be able to do ntfs just fine | 20:25 |
| shah | dr_Willis, i just need to replace XXX with sda5, thats it or any more changes? | 20:25 |
| dr_Willis | shah, yes.. and no idea. :) thats a paste from my fstab. so it works for me. for my single user ssytem | 20:25 |
| bonez45 | Slart: I have Via chrome 9 s3 video... which is on the motherboard.. I am guessing for compiz-fusion to work, I'll need a better add-in video card.... | 20:26 |
| debCarlos | XStylus, and then.... compile gtkmm: (http://ftp.gnome.org/pub/GNOME/sources/gtkmm/2.12/gtkmm-2.12.7.tar.bz2) | 20:26 |

| Slart | loquitus_of_borg: perhaps firefox does some kind of weird thing on startup.. I can't run one 32 bit firefox and one 64 bit firefox at the same time for example.. perhaps firefox is just the weird exeption here | 20:26 |
| XStylus | Soooooooo many steps... phew. | 20:26 |
| simotempler | Slart - cheers bud works a treat now | 20:27 |
| dr_Willis | firefox is weird in so many ways... | 20:27 |
| debCarlos | XStylus, yep... and i'm doing them too :) | 20:27 |
| _Ben | hi guys! anyone know where i can get wmadec? | 20:27 |
| Slart | bonez45: nah.. if you have 3d acceleration it should be fine.. perhaps not fast but it will run.. perhaps you'll get better answers in #compiz-fusion, those guys are supposed to be the experts after all | 20:27 |
| Slart | simotempler: you're welcome | 20:27 |

| Baby_Shambl3s | Slart: hmmm why didnt i think of looking at the man pages thnx | 20:37 |
| Slart | loquitus_of_borg: ahh.. so it was firefox being weird.. good catch | 20:37 |
| loquitus_of_borg | slart: if you are user foobar locally and already running firefox and then connect remotely to ssh with user foobar and try to run firefox, you'll get this behaviour... gay | 20:37 |

| Slart | loquitus_of_borg: ahh.. that might have been it | 20:39 |
| loquitus_of_borg | the point I guess is to keep certain "stupid" people from running firefox twice. I don't see a problem with it. | 20:39 |
| loquitus_of_borg | perhaps some sort of vista protection for morons that made its way over to linux | 20:39 |
| Slart | loquitus_of_borg: stupid people will do stupid things anyway.. this won't stop them =) | 20:40 |

| nirohirokato | quick easy question, what is the latest release of Ubuntu which still supports the PPC architecture? | 20:55 |
| Slart | !ppc | 20:55 |
| ubottu | PowerPC. Formerly used by Apple for the Macintosh line of computers. Variants are now used in popular gaming consoles. PPC was a fully supported Ubuntu architecture up to and including edgy. It is now a community port, see https://wiki.ubuntu.com/PowerPCFAQ | 20:55 |
| db92 | Slart, cos i didnt actually know there was a way to show trash on the desktop id made a launcher with "xdg-open trash:/" but it didnt change the image each time something went in :P | 20:55 |
| Jack_Sparrow | !ppc | 20:55 |
| zod21 | hahaha ok well XStylus join #ubuntu101 and ill tell ya what i mean | 20:55 |
| jadams | beef: k, thanks | 20:55 |
| frostburn | Baby_Shambl3s, google user agent switcher extension for firefox | 20:55 |
| zod21 | its too hard in here | 20:55 |
| zod21 | too much chatter lol | 20:56 |
| Slart | db92: ahh... well the gconf-trick is far easier =) | 20:56 |
| zod21 | any one else can join also | 20:56 |
| nirohirokato | Slart, thank you very much :D | 20:56 |
| db92 | Slart, yes obviously :P | 20:56 |
| debCarlos | XStylus, anyway, i find out some things: 1. glib can be installed with apt ($ apt-get install libglib2.0-dev) 2. The other have to be compiled :S | 20:56 |
| Slart | nirohirokato: you're welcome | 20:56 |
| db92 | how can i check my hard drives free space? | 20:56 |
| Slart | db92: df -h | 20:56 |
| _Ben | baby_shambl3s if you install internet explorer or opera in wine you might be able to download the windows version of mozilla through that. otherwise install windoze in a vm | 20:56 |
| jadams | db92, du -h | 20:56 |
| db92 | or to be more precise, my partitions :P | 20:56 |
| jadams | err | 20:57 |
| jadams | df -h | 20:57 |
| Baby_Shambl3s | _Ben, frostburn: yah thxn for the help | 20:57 |
| vlt | Hello. How can I make one machine's block device available on another one? I tried nbd-server but it seems as if it wants a real file to share to the nbd-clients ... Any idea? | 20:57 |
| XStylus | debCarlos: I... ...think it's working...! | 20:57 |
| debCarlos | XStylus, YES!!! :D | 20:57 |
| _ruben | vlt: i'd use the iscsi protocol (ietd on server and open-isci on client) | 20:58 |
| vlt | _ruben: Thanks, I'll try ... | 20:58 |
| LetsGo67 | What must I do to prevent laptop from overheating? | 20:58 |
| XStylus | At least, it partitioned it and formatted it without spitting it out. This version of gparted doesn't see it as /dev/i2o/hda, but rather as /dev/sdb. Dunno if that's because the liveCD loaded the RAID card differently or what. | 20:58 |
| frostburn | LetsGo67, get a cooling pad, or better laptop | 20:59 |
| XStylus | Let's reboot and see if it sticks. | 20:59 |
| debCarlos | XStylus, who knows, but if it worked.... great :D !!! | 20:59 |
| jeeves__ | Jack_Sparrow, hey man, how's it going? | 20:59 |
| Slart | LetsGo67: make sure you use the powersaving stuff | 20:59 |
| XStylus | debCarlos: Well now ubuntu needs to mount it and play happily with it. We'll see. | 20:59 |
| Slart | LetsGo67: so the cpu lowers the frequency when you don't need the power | 20:59 |
| alraune | LetsGo67 clean the fan(s) | 20:59 |
| LetsGo67 | frostburn and Slart: no, I'm just worring about my laptop exploding | 20:59 |
| Jack_Sparrow | jeeves__ FIne.. thanks | 21:00 |
| Slart | LetsGo67: it will crash before it explodes | 21:00 |
| LetsGo67 | frostburn, slart, alraune: laptops, iPods, cell phones explode all the time. | 21:00 |
| debCarlos | XStylus, yup | 21:00 |
| frostburn | LetsGo67, as long as it's not the battery overheating, the hard drives/cpu can be up to 50c | 21:00 |
| jeeves__ | Jack_Sparrow, can you reccomend a good time lapse video encoder to make AVI files from JPEGs? | 21:00 |
| _Ben | LetsGo67- look for dust in the heatsink and remove any if you fine it. Possibly replace thermal compund on cpu and make sure you never lay it on your lap or on a bed, sofa ect | 21:00 |
| alraune | <LetsGo67 !ot | 21:00 |
| Slart | LetsGo67: "all the time" is taking it a bit far, isn't it | 21:00 |
| LetsGo67 | frostburn, slart, alraune, _Ben, if it is off? | 21:00 |
| Jack_Sparrow | jeeves__ Not really, but you can check some of the tools at getdeb.net | 21:01 |
| === braden_ is now known as zod2108 | ||
| jeeves__ | Jack_Sparrow, ahhhh, remember the traffic cam project I was working on? well, I have ~30Gb of pics and now I need to compress them | 21:01 |
| rrowell | BTW: If anyone cares I re-burnt the Kubuntu CD with a much lower write speed and now it seems to work fine, so moral is try lower right speed if you are having problems with "corrupted files" on a verified good CD | 21:02 |
| Slart | jeeves__: imagemagick is good at all things imageish | 21:02 |
| _Ben | LetsGo67-is your laptop overheating when its switched off ?? | 21:02 |
| rrowell | err s/right/write | 21:02 |
| Jack_Sparrow | jeeves__ See what they have over there. something might work for you | 21:02 |
| LetsGo67 | _Ben, sorry, not overheating. I'm worried about it exploding if I leave it in the car. | 21:02 |
| jeeves__ | Slart, actully, I have the pics, I just need to compress them. I'd like to find a way of running shell script that will download the lastest picture, and encode it onto the end of the video each time. | 21:03 |
| Slart | jeeves__: I'm not entirely sure but imagemagick might be able to do that too.. let me check | 21:03 |
| jeeves__ | Slart, it needs to be able to make a AVI file | 21:03 |
| Baby_Shambl3s | C:\\Program\ why is there two backward slashes when wine is supposed to emulate windows config? | 21:04 |
| Slart | jeeves__: of course, you'll have to write the script yourself | 21:04 |
| Slart | Baby_Shambl3s: because the \ isn't a folder divider in linux.. it's the escape character | 21:04 |
| jeeves__ | Slart, yea, I know. The end goal is for the script to start at midnight, and download a pic every 10 minutes. Then once it has the newest picture, to add it to the end of the time lapse video and build a new video every day | 21:04 |
| === mcasadevall_ is now known as NCommander | ||
| LetsGo67 | How can I stop my laptop from exploding? | 21:05 |
| Slart | Baby_Shambl3s: to write a \ on a command line in linux you have to write two \... so it's \\ | 21:05 |
| Baby_Shambl3s | Slart: oh k didnt know | 21:05 |
| Slart | Baby_Shambl3s: and wine isn't an emulator.. =) | 21:06 |
| rrowell | LetsGo67, You must immerse it in water immediately | 21:06 |
| Baby_Shambl3s | Slart: yeha i know just read what it is | 21:06 |
| Jack_Sparrow | LetsGo67 That isnt really a ubuntu support question.. but remove the battery and you will be fine | 21:07 |
| jeeves__ | Slart, did you find anything? | 21:07 |
| debCarlos | XStylus, You know, i tried to compile glibmm, and it gets to bizarre... it ask me for install a glib >= glib2.16 ... and for compile it i hav to uninstall previous version, but if i do that, then GNOME gets damaged :S | 21:07 |
| Slart | jeeves__: still looking.. | 21:07 |
| jeeves__ | Slart, k, thanks | 21:07 |
| ozzloy | http://xrl.us/kpz48 can someone help me with this? firefox thinks everything is spelled incorrectly | 21:08 |
| ozzloy | ?? | 21:08 |
| ncfi1013 | how do i create that "straight line" symbol for the command line? | 21:08 |
| _Ben | ozzloy- well try speelcheckre | 21:08 |
| XStylus | debCarlos: Perhaps it's best to just give up on the endeavor and stick with working with the LiveCD. | 21:08 |
| debCarlos | XStylus, yes, or install a precompiled package :) | 21:09 |
| Jack_Sparrow | ncfi1013 bang is above your enter keey with shift | 21:09 |
| Slart | jeeves__: it seems imagemagick can't create movies.. but mencoder can.. here's a page discussing this..http://www.gfd.geophys.ethz.ch/~pjt/makingMovies.html | 21:09 |
| ozzloy | _Ben: i don't know what that means. could you explain a little more? | 21:09 |
| jeeves__ | Slart, thanks. I'll hop over to the #mencoder channel. | 21:09 |
| Slart | jeeves__: or wait.. perhaps it can do it after all.. well.. check out that page.. it's in there | 21:10 |
| XStylus | debCarlos: My thoughts are that it's choking on the i2o driver. In the LiveCD it didn't recognize it as an i2o RAID, and a few forums I'm reading seem to indicate that gparted frequently chokes on i2o RAIDs. | 21:10 |
| ErikWestrup | Anyone here using rTWi webinterface with rTorrent? | 21:10 |
| debCarlos | XStylus, ... | 21:10 |
| jeeves__ | Slart, np. I just asked over there. I'd like to make sure that the script runs at a VERY LOW prio in the background | 21:10 |
| XStylus | debCarlos: Yes...? | 21:10 |
| Slart | jeeves__: run it with "nice".. or use nice in the script | 21:10 |
| Slart | jeeves__: it seems this rather simple lines is all that's needed.. convert -delay 6 -quality 95 test*ppm movie.mpg | 21:11 |
| heliquebec | hey folks, anyone faced that issue before? got an ibm thinkpad t22, when trying to install ubuntu (lastest version) the computer stall at installing system detecting file systems 15% after completing all 7 step. | 21:11 |
| Slart | jeeves__: convert is one of the tools included in imagemagick | 21:11 |
| debCarlos | XStylus, i forgot wich packages we installed... and now i have to uninstall them, i think i like the GPARTED from repos .. | 21:11 |
| rrowell | heliquebec, Did you try the "verify CD" option from the boot menu? | 21:11 |
| jeeves__ | Slart, can you mash up a command line for me to try (in the directory where the JPEGs are) | 21:11 |
| Slart | jeeves__: sure.. what are the jpegs called? | 21:12 |
| Chiko_Simpatico | hola | 21:12 |
| Chiko_Simpatico | a todos | 21:12 |
| heliquebec | rrowell I did, and I even downloaded twice and burned twice just to be sure. | 21:12 |
| debCarlos | XStylus, well, i remember that parted was one of them and e2fsprogs too.... :) | 21:12 |
| jeeves__ | Slart, I have a script that renames them with the date, time, and sequance # | 21:12 |
| XStylus | debCarlos: I may have a list | 21:12 |
| ethana2 | where's ubuntu's multimedia key manager? | 21:12 |
| unknowing | hey, does anyone know if i have ubuntu duel installed with windows vista if i can get my files from windows vista and open them here on linux? | 21:13 |
| ethana2 | unknowing: yes. | 21:13 |
| ethana2 | but not the other way around | 21:13 |
| jeeves__ | Slart, sorry, make that.... location_-_date_-_hour_-_minute_-_second.jog | 21:13 |
| unknowing | ethana2: how? | 21:13 |
| ethana2 | windows has terrible fs support | 21:13 |
| jeeves__ | Slart, sorry, make that.... location_-_date_-_hour_-_minute_-_second.jpg | 21:13 |
| ethana2 | unknowing: Just Works | 21:13 |
| debCarlos | XStylus, can you give it to me? I have uninstalled some of them, but i don't remember all :( | 21:13 |
| ethana2 | jsut make sure you shut down windows cleanly every time | 21:13 |
| Slart | jeeves__: try this convert -delay *.jpg testmovie.mpg | 21:13 |
| _Ben | ozzloy-lolies | 21:13 |
| jeeves__ | Slart, how about mencoder? | 21:14 |
| unknowing | ethana2: lol so your not going to help me by telling me how? just going to say, just works? | 21:14 |
| ethana2 | it's very, very simple | 21:14 |
| ethana2 | places -> windows | 21:14 |
| Slart | jeeves__: it might not be needed.. | 21:14 |
| ethana2 | basically | 21:14 |
| debCarlos | XStylus, did we installed gettext ? | 21:14 |
| Slart | jeeves__: but I think it would be almost the same.. | 21:14 |
| ncfi1013 | do i find devede in the adept package manager | 21:14 |
| Slart | !info devede | 21:14 |

| Slart | ncfi1013: yes.. it's in multiverse.. see !repos | 21:15 |
| unknowing | ethana2: my places doesnt show windows | 21:15 |
| XStylus | debCarlos: No. Hang on a sec, lemmie pull up the list | 21:15 |
| Slart | jeeves__: "convert -delay *.jpg testmovie.mpg" | 21:15 |
| shelly | how do I decline an update so that it stops appearing in the toolbar | 21:15 |
| debCarlos | XStylus, ok :) | 21:15 |
| andy_brizza | hi all. Does anyone know where I could find a standard /etc/passwd file - same as after a clean installation of 7.10 - mine has gone all corrupted on me :-( | 21:15 |
| Slart | jeeves__: "convert -delay 5 *.jpg testmovie.mpg" | 21:15 |
| alephant | Hi all... I pulled down the kernel GIT tree; how do I build a kernel package from the GIT sources? | 21:15 |
| Slart | jeeves__: sorry.. forgot the number after delay | 21:15 |
| jeeves__ | Slart, and "convert" should be installed or what package is it a part of? | 21:15 |
| alephant | Sorry, I suck. | 21:15 |
| alephant | STFW | 21:15 |
| alephant | sorry | 21:15 |
| ethana2 | unknowing: did it shut down cleanly? | 21:15 |
| * alephant grins sheepishly. | 21:16 | |
| Slart | jeeves__: it's part of the imagemagick package | 21:16 |
| Slart | !imagemagick | 21:16 |
| ubottu | Sorry, I don't know anything about imagemagick | 21:16 |

| unknowing | ethana2: sure.... maybe.... what do you mean by cleanly | 21:16 |
| ethana2 | not hibernate, not crash | 21:16 |
| jeeves__ | Slart, ok, building the package now | 21:16 |
| Irishman04 | any 1 play halo 3 | 21:16 |
| ethana2 | irishman: wine doesn't even do halo /2/ yet | 21:16 |
| XStylus | debCarlos: e2fsprogs-libs-1.41.0, readline-5.2, parted-1.8.8, glibmm-2.16.4, gtkmm-2.12.7, build-essential, libparted1.7-dev | 21:17 |
| th0r | andy_brizza, I don't think there is a 'standard' passwd file | 21:17 |
| XStylus | Is there any negative effects to leaving them installed? | 21:17 |
| Irishman04 | cause im looking for recruits for my clan | 21:17 |
| ethana2 | i wouldn't buy an xbox 360, ever | 21:17 |
| ethana2 | you can't run your own code on it | 21:17 |
| ethana2 | /and/ it's microsoft | 21:17 |
| jeeves__ | Slart, ok, it's chewing on that command now | 21:18 |
| Slart | jeeves__: I'm trying it here too | 21:18 |
| ozzloy | http://xrl.us/kpz48 can someone help me with this? firefox thinks everything is spelled incorrectly?? | 21:18 |
| debCarlos | XStylus, ok, but don't uninsall build-essentials or the ones you installed with apt, the can be useful later :) | 21:18 |
| debCarlos | *the = they | 21:18 |
| Slart | jeeves__: mine failed.. mpeg2encode: not found | 21:18 |
| jeeves__ | Slart, it's complaining it can't find "mpeg2encode" | 21:19 |
| ozzloy | i installed the US english dictionary to no avail | 21:19 |
| * bobJR I R Rawkin : ACDC - Soul Stripper | 21:19 | |

| * bobJR I R Rawkin : ACDC - Baby,Please Don't Go | 21:19 | |
| jeeves__ | Slart, ok, and I tried apt-get install mpeg2encode and it can't find the package | 21:19 |
| _Ben | ozzloy appologies for earlier nonsense my keyboard got hijacked.... check that your spell checker has the correct language settings | 21:19 |
| kcman | is there a version of deamon tools for linux? | 21:19 |
| dupondje | hellow, how do I get the ubuntu-proposed upgrades installed ? | 21:19 |
| * bobJR Rawkin This Room : ACDC - Baby,Please Don't Go | 21:19 | |
| bobJR | fuk | 21:19 |
| * bobJR Rawkin This Shit : ACDC - Baby,Please Don't Go | 21:20 | |
| bobJR | there we go | 21:20 |
| ethana2 | !ohmy | bobJR | 21:20 |
| ubottu | bobJR: Please watch your language and topic to help keep this channel family friendly. | 21:20 |
| ozzloy | _Ben: i installed the US English dictionary. i don't know where i would check settings on that. | 21:20 |
| bobJR | kcman command line | 21:20 |
| kcman | bobJR yeah i am sure there are commands for mounting images but what of the other file types? | 21:21 |
| andy_brizza | th0r: but surely a lot of the lines are pretty standard - for all the ("non-user") accounts that are created by default on an installation? If I had those I could add the one or 2 real accounts? Or am I missing something? | 21:21 |
| debCarlos | XStylus, just the ones you installed manually, because you can't update them, just make a $ make uninstall on their folders ;) | 21:21 |
| ozzloy | _Ben: it shows in "Extensions" but the "Preferences" is greyed out. | 21:21 |
| Slart | jeeves__: ok.. I tried the mencoder way.. it actually worked.. here's my command line " mencoder "mf://*.jpg" -o movie.avi -ovc lavc " | 21:21 |
| earthling | kcman : you can use " mount -t iso9660 <image> <mount point>" as su | 21:21 |
| jeeves__ | Slart, with all of the ""s? | 21:21 |
| Jack_Sparrow | !iso | 21:21 |
| ubottu | To mount an ISO disc image, type « sudo mount -o loop <ISO-filename> <mountpoint> » - There is a list of useful cd image conversion tools at http://wiki.linuxquestions.org/wiki/CD_Image_Conversion - Always verify the ISO using !MD5 before !burning. | 21:21 |
| debCarlos | I'm off for a minute :) | 21:21 |
| _Ben | ozzloy thats odd... Is there any info in the firefox help? | 21:21 |
| ozzloy | _Ben: and under "Languages" i have a bunch of different languages, one of which is "en-GB" | 21:22 |
| Slart | jeeves__: nah.. just the ones around mf://*.jpg | 21:22 |
| Slart | jeeves__: I don't even know if those are really needed | 21:22 |
| kcman | earthling question <mount point> would be what? | 21:22 |
| gnychis | should I install 32-bit Ubuntu or 64-bit ubuntu on a Thinkpad X300 laptop? | 21:22 |
| jeeves__ | Slart, ok, one sec | 21:22 |
| Jack_Sparrow | kcman sudo mkdir /media/anythingyouwantittobe | 21:22 |
| ozzloy | _Ben: the about firefox shows my user-agent has "en-US;" in it | 21:22 |
| Jack_Sparrow | gnychis 32 | 21:22 |
| _Ben | ozzloy in that case install the english gb dictionary and not the us one as us spellings are different from gb | 21:22 |
| Slart | gnychis: go with 32 bit unles you've got > 4GB of memory | 21:23 |
| ozzloy | _Ben: did you look at the link i pasted? | 21:23 |
| _Ben | ozzloy unless yer american of course lol | 21:23 |
| tiagoOM | does anyone know which encoding is used by rhythmbox to save locations of files on playlist.xml file? | 21:23 |
| earthling | kcman : any place known folder would do like /mnt/mount .. you can make that by typing /mnt/mount | 21:23 |
| ozzloy | _Ben: i have both installed | 21:23 |
| _Ben | ozzloy sorry no my keyboard was noy under my control at the time... | 21:23 |
| gnychis | Slart: I do have 4GB of memory... but if 32-bit is more stable then I'm OK with that | 21:23 |
| ncfi1013 | thanx i dont really understand everything i was told but it sounds like it will be of help | 21:23 |
| jeeves__ | Slart, it worked!!! now to just slow it down a bit, and figure out how to add files (more JPGEs) to the end of the video one frame at a time | 21:24 |
| corky_ | Ok, Apparently ubuntu just stops working randomly, I couldn't take real screen shots so i grabbed my old camera and took some pics, http://www.2shared.com/file/3610904/f9851081/errortar.html | 21:24 |
| Slart | gnychis: I don't see a difference in stability.. you'll only be able to use about 3.5 GB with 32 bit.. | 21:24 |
| corky_ | What the hell is wrong?.. ubuntu 8.04 over here, updated and all... :X | 21:24 |
| td123 | gnychis: if you do heavy computing, 64bit is better, 32bit actually doesn't use some registers on the processor.. | 21:24 |
| ozzloy | _Ben: i yam american. but in the screenshot i linked, i have common words underlined in red | 21:24 |
| ZimCS | Does anyone know how to isntall CGI on apache2 in Ubuntu? | 21:24 |
| Slart | jeeves__: I don't think you'll be able to just add an image at the end.. you'll probably have to recreate the entire movie every time | 21:24 |
| td123 | on a 64bit processor | 21:24 |
| corky_ | also: no nvidia drivers, nothing custom except skype for ubuntu 7.04 and pidgin :X | 21:24 |
| ozzloy | _Ben: http://xrl.us/kpz48 | 21:25 |
| Slart | jeeves__: ok.. slowing it down a bit.. there ought to be a switch for that... | 21:25 |
| ozzloy | _Ben: where it says "this is spelled correctly, so why is it underlined in red?" | 21:25 |
| jeeves__ | Slart, well, that's a wast of CPU time!!! LOL. it's a time lapse capture of a web accessable camera, so that's what I'd like to be able to add to the end of it | 21:25 |
| Slart | jeeves__: will you be creating huuuge movies? | 21:25 |
| _Ben | ozzloy i see where that might be an issue... I'd recommend removing ALL languages and dictionaries before adding in just your regional ones | 21:26 |
| ozzloy | _Ben: it's like that for every input text box | 21:26 |
| gnychis | Slart: are there any reasons against using 64-bit? | 21:26 |
| Slart | jeeves__: you could create a move of the last 6 hours and save that.. then recreate that last bit and join the movie with the older stuff | 21:26 |
| ozzloy | _Ben: i'll give that a shot | 21:26 |
| _Ben | ozzloy it looks like its using the wrong language so thats all i can come up with | 21:26 |
| Slart | gnychis: some stuff are quirky.. flash for example | 21:26 |
| jeeves__ | Slart, nope. I'd like to find a way that every night @ midnight, the script will start a new video file. And every 10 mins when the script downloads a new picture, it would just add it to the movie. then, it can slowly build the video over the day | 21:26 |
| Slart | jeeves__: ah.. but one day worth of images can't be that bad.. how many images are we talking about? | 21:27 |
| _Ben | can anyone help me find wmadec i have been searching all day, its not even in w64codecs... | 21:27 |
| speedbaron | is there a hotmail email client for ubuntu? | 21:28 |

| Jack_Sparrow | speedbaron Do you have a paid pop account on hotmail | 21:28 |
| Slart | jeeves__: do you really need to update the movie every 10 mins? will people be watching these movies during the day? | 21:29 |
| speedbaron | Jack_Sparrow: yes... they don't offer pop anymore | 21:29 |
| Jack_Sparrow | speedbaron Hotmail no loinger offers pop3? | 21:29 |
| b0xd | how to turn ON system beep? | 21:29 |
| speedbaron | yep | 21:30 |
| jeeves__ | Slart, it's 144 pics/day and yes, people will be checking all day long. I'd like to double the capture rate if I can make the video update | 21:30 |
| LSD|Ninja | When did hotmail offer POP3? | 21:30 |
| Slart | jeeves__: hmm.. well.. let's see what mencoder can do.. perhaps there is a "add a frame to the end of this movie" option somewhere | 21:30 |
| speedbaron | Jack_Sparrow: they stopped offering it | 21:30 |
| LSD|Ninja | (I take it we;re talking about downloading messages with a POP client, not accessing POP accounts from hotmail) | 21:30 |
| b0xd | so, how do i turn beep on? | 21:31 |
| Jack_Sparrow | speedbaron gmail still offers it | 21:31 |
| jeeves__ | Slart, ok, thanks. as I said, there will be 144 captured pics/day, and I'd like to encode the videos so they last ~2-3 mins (maybe 5 mins)/day. | 21:31 |
| Dedi | hotmail pop is still working | 21:31 |
| _Ben | wmadec is a windows application used to decode wmas in jinzora, does anyone know if it is possible to port wmadec to linux or run it in wine? or is there an alternative | 21:31 |
| jeeves__ | Slart, so, if my math isn't off, that's 2.083333333 frams/sec | 21:32 |
| Jack_Sparrow | Dedi Thanks, I just cant figure out why they would kill off pop | 21:32 |
| Slart | jeeves__: if you have more hard disk space than you have cpu power you could skip the filters and compression during the day.. only use the fine settings for the "once a day" conversion | 21:32 |

| th0r | sahak, you can use alien to convert it, but it isn't recommended | 21:54 |

| Xepra | i can mount it just fine | 22:01 |
| LSD|Ninja | speedbaron: rpm doesn't resolve deps on it's own afaicr, that's provided by front ends like yum. a similar relationship exists between apt-get and dpkg on debian systems | 22:01 |
| vergil | s/cd/image/ | 22:01 |
| Xepra | or maybe not hybrid, but has multiple partitions | 22:01 |

| sahak | alien also does not work "dpkg-gencontrol: error: current host architecture 'amd64' does not appear in package's architecture list (i386)" | 22:02 |
| Xepra | probably because the osx cd hides the partition with the data on it | 22:02 |
| LSD|Ninja | Xepra: unless you're using an OSx86 CD then that's probably not going to work | 22:02 |
| Xepra | tried both | 22:02 |

| Xepra | either way they are just dummy partitions | 22:03 |
| Xepra | not bootable | 22:03 |
| Xepra | they work fine in a real comp | 22:03 |
| LSD|Ninja | Xepra: They're on an ISO or UDF session as opposed to the HFS+ session the OS X files are on | 22:03 |
| Xepra | but i am trying to boot them in xen | 22:04 |
| vergil | sahak: to be quite honest with you, if you're putting any piece of IBM software on a non IBM supported linux, get ready for library hell | 22:04 |
| Xepra | can ubuntu read an hfs? | 22:04 |
| d600 | how would i change the permissions on a mounted iso | 22:04 |
| LSD|Ninja | kcman: not winrar, search synaptic for rar | 22:04 |
| khamael | I saw a program once, called rpm2targz. it extracted the rpm to where it would be installed | 22:04 |
| Xepra | kcman: sudo apt-get install rar | 22:04 |
| LSD|Ninja | khamael: alien will convert an rpm to a deb | 22:04 |
| kcman | LSD|Ninja yes my master i will | 22:04 |
| vergil | sahak: I can only recommend that you find a way to back up the critical stuff to a system that can load the rpm | 22:04 |
| Xepra | then fileroller (archive manager) can read and extract them | 22:04 |
| kcman | Xepra yes i will do | 22:04 |
| vergil | rpm is basically a fancy cpio anyhow iirc, so you can ruin your life that way, or relocate where the package goes | 22:05 |
| Xepra | Ninja: shouldn't there be a standard way of reading multi-partition/mixed/hybrid cds/dvds? | 22:05 |
| Xepra | I mean the data is there... I just can't get it to mount | 22:06 |
| vergil | Xepra: you're using standard and macosx cd in the same sentence ;) | 22:06 |
| Xepra | lol | 22:06 |
| LSD|Ninja | Xepra: I don't mess around with OS X on non-Apple hardware so I'm not the person to ask | 22:06 |
| vergil | I'm guessing Apple has done some obfuscation to make what you're attempting difficult | 22:06 |
| Xepra | well its not apple specific | 22:06 |
| Xepra | it is cd/dvd formatting specific | 22:07 |
| LSD|Ninja | vergil: I think Xen is screwing things up, OSx86 CDs boot fine on normal hardware | 22:07 |
| vergil | Ahh, did not know that. | 22:07 |
| LSD|Ninja | vergil: retail OS X CDs don't boot on anything but Apple hw | 22:07 |
| Xepra | i have the osx86 cd too | 22:07 |
| vergil | My bad - assumed they were one and the same. | 22:07 |
| Xepra | either way they both are hiding data | 22:07 |
| Xepra | in fact i think most boot cds do this | 22:08 |
| Xepra | as do any mixed mode or hybrid cds | 22:08 |
| khamael | LSD|Ninja: but rpm2targz converts the rpm into a tar.gz, with the files rpm -ivh would have installed | 22:08 |
| Xepra | i just want to know how to mount the second "partition" of a cd/dvd | 22:08 |
| LSD|Ninja | khamael: alien is better since you can add/remove them with standard debian tools | 22:08 |
| LSD|Ninja | Xepra: it's not a partition, it's a session | 22:08 |
| khamael | LSD|Ninja: ok | 22:08 |
| bono | hello | 22:08 |
| bono | PORT STATE SERVICE | 22:09 |
| bono | 135/tcp filtered msrpc | 22:09 |
| bono | my ubuntu has such status | 22:09 |
| bono | how i close port 135? | 22:09 |
| LSD|Ninja | Xepra: beyond requiring a multisession drive (which all drives are these days), I have no idea how you'd mount one session or another though | 22:09 |
| Xepra | thanks, i didnt know what terminology to use | 22:09 |
| Xepra | heh | 22:09 |
| bono | or i should keep it | 22:10 |

| chillent | Hello. How can I get my Linksys WMP11v2 PCI wireless card to work in Ubuntu 8.04? I've tried using ndiswrapper-1.48 on each .inf file that I could find on the driver CD, but nothing worked. I've even tried the new auto ndis-wrapper and that couldn't help me either. Any suggestions? | 22:10 |
| LSD|Ninja | scribawf: reinstall linux-image | 22:11 |
| bobertdos | What's a more robust editor for workspaces? One that would allow them to be labeled and so forth? | 22:11 |
| bono | No | 22:11 |
| LSD|Ninja | chillent: what chip is on that card? | 22:11 |
| bono | It's a VM | 22:11 |
| sn0rlax | Ok, so when I did an aptitude safe-upgrade earlier there were updated PHP packages, but I haven't got an email about them from the ubuntu-security-announce mailing list. What's up with that? | 22:11 |
| bono | It's 8.04 installed in VMware | 22:11 |
| scribawf | LSDNinja; Tnx | 22:11 |
| nickrud | bobertdos you can name workspaces in either metacity or compiz ... | 22:11 |
| bono | server version | 22:11 |
| LSD|Ninja | bono: if it's in a VM then you shouldn't need to close it | 22:12 |
| chillent | I'm not quite sure. How can I tell? | 22:12 |
| LSD|Ninja | chillent: lspci | 22:12 |
| Viking668 | ha ha ha ha ha!!! HEHEHE hehe haha!! ROFL. | 22:12 |
| Viking668 | I found the error! | 22:12 |
| Viking668 | ooops. | 22:12 |
| sn0rlax | ah who cares what am i doing on irc | 22:12 |
| nickrud | sn0rlax you can see the changelogs with C in aptitude or use the changelog command | 22:12 |
| Johnny | can somebody help me with my wireless card i cant figure this out, every so often my card suddenly dies and in network manager it says its not configured, iwlist scan outputs no results and /etc/init.d/networking restart does nothing | 22:13 |
| superfirelord42 | nickrud: he just left | 22:13 |
| bobertdos | nickrud: I THOUGHT I saw that in the manager, yeah! Thanks! | 22:13 |
| LSD|Ninja | chillent: look for lines that say ethernet | 22:13 |
| tovella | how can i restore my custom compiz settings after disabling, then enabling compiz? | 22:13 |
| nickrud | superfirelord42 some people have 0 patience ;( | 22:13 |
| godhead | ernet.org 6667 | 22:13 |
| bono | Hi ,LsdNinja,WHY? | 22:13 |
| nickrud | tovella they're remembered here ... | 22:13 |
| bono | Why in VM will be no necessary to turn off,Lsdninja | 22:14 |
| superfirelord42 | nickrud: he should have seen who i had to help yesterday in #wine, took 2 hours.... | 22:14 |
| nickrud | !helpersnack | superfirelord42 ;) | 22:14 |
| ubottu | superfirelord42 ;): Wow! You're such a great helper, you deserve a cookie! | 22:14 |
| pgreptom | Hi. I turn on my computer today, and X will not start. I have figured out, for some reason - the "nv" driverj ust magically quit working. It's not even listed in "Restricted Drivers" anymore. I re-installed it w/ apt-get, but still no dice. I can only startx using "nv" - not "nvidia". "nv" crashes.... Says it can't find a screen, and crashes. Any ideas? | 22:15 |
| pgreptom | er, "nvidia" crashes ^^ | 22:15 |
| Johnny | anyone | 22:15 |
| chillent | 02:00.0 Ethernet controller: Linksys, A Division of Cisco Systems WMP11v4 802.11b PCI card | 22:15 |
| superfirelord42 | wow, that bot never ceases to supprize me... | 22:15 |
| Johnny | i dont know what to do my wireless card just suddenly dies | 22:15 |
| tovella | nickrud: ...they're remembered where? | 22:16 |
| __yy__ | Johnny: does dmesg | tail say anything helpful? | 22:16 |
| llama_ | It sounds ridiculously simple, but I've never downloaded a .deb before, and then tried to install it; how do I install a .deb I've already downloaded to my computer? | 22:16 |
| nickrud | tovella in your gconf settings, you can see them in gconf-editor /apps/compiz | 22:16 |
| cautionaryx | lama_: is it on your desktop? | 22:16 |
| __yy__ | llama_: dpkg -i thefile.deb I believe | 22:16 |
| chillent | <LSD|Ninja>: 02:00.0 Ethernet controller: Linksys, A Division of Cisco Systems WMP11v4 802.11b PCI card | 22:16 |
| superfirelord42 | llama_: dpkg -i thepackage.deb | 22:16 |
| tovella | nickrud: ahh, thanks. | 22:16 |
| cautionaryx | what they said | 22:17 |
| jeeves__ | how can I find out why firefox and evoulation keeps crashing? | 22:17 |
| nickrud | llama_ doublclick it, gdebi will get any dependencies | 22:17 |
| ozzloy | Thybo: sorry, simple-ccsm | 22:17 |
| Xepra | pgrempton: are you trying to use the nv or the binary nvidia driver? | 22:17 |
| superfirelord42 | llama_: do what nickrud said, i fogot ubuntu prefers gedebi.... | 22:17 |
| llama_ | nickrud, I don't use gnome, I'm using fluxbox, and a very stripped down ubuntu altogether- custom install. YEah, superfirelord42, that didn't work. | 22:18 |
| hagus | I install OO3 yesterday. Everything works fine but although I have OO3 in menu system, the association between Open Office and .odt files has been broken. Any suggestions on how to fix that? | 22:18 |
| pgreptom | Xepra: I'm trying to use the driver the "new" nvidia driver in apt-get... the one "Restricted Hardawre" uses.. but it won't startx with it, says no screen found.. if I dpkg-reconfigure xserver-xorg, it works again.. it uses the default driver I suppose | 22:18 |
| hagus | installed even | 22:18 |
| llama_ | it's not on my desktop, it's in a folder in my desktop called "Downloads". | 22:18 |
| dbbolton | how can i figure out why my computer doesn't have video output? | 22:18 |
| Xepra | fyi nickrud and tovella: those settings are saved in ~/.gconf -- which is what gconf edits, as nickrud was saying | 22:18 |
| superfirelord42 | llama_: cd into that folder, and do gdebi -i package.deb | 22:18 |
| Kris07 | I can't launch a Terminal. What I get back after trying to open one is "Failed to execute child process "gnome-terminal" (No such file or directory) " This also happens with other apps. | 22:18 |
| superfirelord42 | llama_: if that does not work, dpkg -i package.deb | 22:18 |
| tovella | Xepra: thanks... it got that part. | 22:19 |
| nickrud | Xepra yeah, easier to point people at the tools, the xml can be hard to parse | 22:19 |
| Xepra | ya, i know - i was just mentioning | 22:19 |
| Johnny | __yy__, http://pastebin.com/m6e2d35c2 | 22:19 |
| llama_ | superfirelord42, I already tried dpkg, I got an error. I just tried gdebi, and I don't have that app. | 22:19 |
| Xepra | its useful if you want to backup/move the settings | 22:19 |
| chillent | LSD|Ninja, 02:00.0 Ethernet controller: Linksys, A Division of Cisco Systems WMP11v4 802.11b PCI card | 22:19 |
| Xepra | also may explain why they went missing | 22:19 |
| superfirelord42 | llama_: what is the error from dpkg? | 22:19 |
| HappyHater | I'm trying to install gnome on xubuntu but 'sudo apt-get install gnome' says broken packages | 22:19 |
| hagus | How does one go about creating a file association in Ubuntu? | 22:19 |
| Johnny | its eth0 and i dont know what the problem is | 22:19 |
| nickrud | llama_ you can install gdebi, and call it with gdebi /path/to/deb , works fine that way | 22:19 |
| llama_ | It seems that it was dependency problems. | 22:19 |
| LSD|Ninja | chillent: I saw. I was googling for what chip it may use. | 22:19 |
| Johnny | it just suddenly stops working and i have to restart | 22:20 |
| superfirelord42 | HappyHater: i think its gnome-desktop | 22:20 |
| Xepra | pgremptom: i haven't messed with the restricted nvidia drivers - I use the binary nvidia driver from the nvidia site | 22:20 |
| Xepra | it works amazingly well | 22:20 |
| superfirelord42 | HappyHater: never mind, they changed the names | 22:20 |
| Xepra | it did randomly quit working because of some update though | 22:20 |
| nickrud | HappyHater install ubuntu-desktop | 22:20 |
| __yy__ | Johnny: hmm, nothing jumps out at me... (that command should be run right after the wireless fails to get useful information btw) | 22:20 |
| Xepra | I had to manually disable nv and nvidia_new to get it to work again | 22:20 |
| nickrud | Xepra that would have been a kernel upgrade, you need to reinstall the one from nvidia with each kernel upgrade | 22:20 |
| LSD|Ninja | chillent: All I can seem to find is info on using ndiswrapper :/ | 22:20 |
| pgreptom | Xepra: Sigh. What do you suggest I do? | 22:21 |
| fbc | Is there an F-SPOT equivalent for movies? | 22:21 |
| superfirelord42 | llama_: can you pastebin the output? | 22:21 |
| Xepra | nickrud: a reinstall didnt work | 22:21 |
| HappyHater | nickrud, that comes with a bunch of apps too doesn't it? I just want gnome without all the stuff that comes along in ubuntu | 22:21 |
| Xepra | pgreptom: there are a bunch of howtos for the different nvidia drivers, i would go with the one you download and run from the nvidia site personally | 22:21 |
| llama_ | superfirelord42, I thought I figured it out, downloaded a library it said it was missing... | 22:21 |
| dbbolton | how can i figure out why my computer doesn't have video output? | 22:21 |
| CelticLord | nuit!! | 22:21 |
| nickrud | HappyHater just install the stuff you want then. Start with gnome-session and gnome-panel | 22:22 |
| llama_ | but then I try running the app, "qpitch", and it says "segmentation fault" | 22:22 |
| Xepra | pgrempton: but make sure you follow their install instructions | 22:22 |
| Xepra | its a bit nasty because you have to kill x | 22:22 |
| chillent | LSD|Ninja, hmm. what do you think i should do? | 22:22 |
| Xepra | but other than that it is really straight forward | 22:22 |
| superfirelord42 | llama_: qpitch? what are its dependinces according to dpkg? | 22:22 |
| Kris07 | I can't launch a Terminal. What I get back after trying to open one is "Failed to execute child process "gnome-terminal" (No such file or directory) " This also happens with other apps. | 22:22 |
| llama_ | "libportaudio2" | 22:23 |
| superfirelord42 | llama_: hold on.... | 22:23 |
| llama_ | said it couldn't configure (last 2 mesg @ superfirelord42 | 22:23 |
| Xepra | download run script, chmod +x it, ctrl-alt-f1, login, sudo /etc/init.d/gdm stop, ./runnvidia thingy. You may have to disable nv and nvidia_new in /etc/linux-restricted...-common./ | 22:23 |
| superfirelord42 | llama_: got it... | 22:23 |
| llama_ | so I did sudo apt-get install libportaudio2, and then ran dpkg, seemed to go well, but the app won't open. | 22:23 |
| nickrud | Kris07 what does which gnome-terminal say? | 22:24 |
| superfirelord42 | llama_: used to tune a musical instrument? | 22:24 |
| llama_ | yes. | 22:24 |
| MitchM | i have a default deny in my hosts.allow along with an allow sshd: <net>... people from <net> can connect to ssh... and everyone else is blocked. Except if they are in my /etc/hosts file (they are still allowed ssh), why? | 22:24 |
| superfirelord42 | llama_: hold on... | 22:24 |
| llama_ | superfirelord42, holding. ;) | 22:24 |
| superfirelord42 | hmmm, llama_: it appears for gusty... hold on.. still readin.. | 22:24 |
| superfirelord42 | llama_: if you want, you can build it from source.... | 22:25 |
| llama_ | superfirelord42, yeah, that's true. | 22:25 |
| Kris07 | nickrud, I don't get what you mean | 22:26 |
| amikrop | Hello. My RSA public key, is the same as my GPG public key? | 22:26 |
| superfirelord42 | llama_: that way, it isnt using libraries made for gusty... or trying to an failing | 22:26 |
| llama_ | superfirelord42, I would have thought that a ubuntu .deb that recent shouldn't have had problems. That's frustrating. :\ | 22:26 |
| axisys | how to add a user to a group? | 22:26 |
| nickrud | Kris07 in a console (clt-alt-f1) log in, and type which gnome-terminal. That will show what program, and the path to it, that is run when you try to run gnome-terminal | 22:26 |
| nickrud | Kris07 clt-alt-f7 to get back to the gui | 22:26 |
| axisys | adduser --group dialout username did not work | 22:27 |
| superfirelord42 | llama_: the problem is each version of ubuntu has diffrent libraries... but one possiblilty, do an apt-get install qt4 | 22:27 |
| axisys | adduser --system --group dialout username did not work either | 22:27 |
| superfirelord42 | that wont work | 22:27 |
| HappyHater | is it possible to run multiple instances of X? | 22:27 |
| superfirelord42 | anyone remember what package qt4 is? | 22:27 |
| llama_ | E: couldn't find package qt4 | 22:27 |
| llama_ | @superf | 22:27 |
| nickrud | HappyHater yes | 22:27 |
| llama_ | @ superfirelord42 | 22:28 |
| nickrud | libqt4-core ? | 22:28 |
| superfirelord42 | llama_: yeah, thats not hte name, im trying to remember it... | 22:28 |
| superfirelord42 | llama_: libqt4-core | 22:28 |
| HappyHater | nickrud, do I have to login as a different user? | 22:28 |
| Kris07 | nickrud, What's clt? | 22:28 |
| superfirelord42 | nickrud: ty... | 22:28 |
| llama_ | superfirelord42, already installed, latest version. | 22:28 |
| nickrud | HappyHater generally you need to log in as a different user, iirc | 22:28 |
| superfirelord42 | llama_: ok.. there goes that possiblity.. | 22:29 |
| HappyHater | thanks | 22:29 |
| nickrud | Kris07 control-alt-f1 , -f7 to get back | 22:29 |
| llama_ | what's the exact untar argument/s for /tar/bz2? | 22:29 |
| superfirelord42 | llama_: i think your best bet is to remove the package and then try to compile it.... you can try to get the older libraries, but it may not work... | 22:29 |
| llama_ | .tar.bz2* | 22:29 |
| superfirelord42 | llama_: tar -jxvf file.tar.bz2 | 22:29 |
| nickrud | llama_ tar xf will do it, tar is smart about compression these days | 22:30 |
| nownot | i want to set up a webdav directory in 8.04 any ideas on how to do it? | 22:30 |
| === gardar is now known as gardar`afk | ||
| L52 | nownot: you'll need a webserver like apache | 22:30 |
| nownot | L52: yeah i have all that jazz, i just cant get it working | 22:31 |
| kushalsejwal | any body using pidgin or had used pidgin here?? | 22:31 |
| HappyHater | nickrud, even with a new user it still says the server is already active for display 0 | 22:31 |
| Viking667 | darn. Still the same trouble, even with the correction of the spelling | 22:31 |
| L52 | nownot: where's the problem? | 22:31 |
| axisys | how to copy the moving screen.. i want to be able to play it to show how I installed something | 22:31 |
| llama_ | nickrud, superfirelord42, I run tar -jxvf qpitch-1.0.tar.bz2, and I just get a list of files. Do I need to uninstall the faulty /deb isntall first? I've never uninstalled manually (i.e., without aptitude) before. | 22:31 |
| nickrud | HappyHater you do have to point it at a different display. The easiest way is editing the menus, enabling new login under system tools, and use that | 22:31 |
| amikrop | I was asked my public RSA key. How can I see it? | 22:32 |
| nickrud | llama_ yes, dpkg -r qpitch | 22:32 |
| HappyHater | ok | 22:32 |
| superfirelord42 | llama_: nope, that extracts it, for a list, its tar -tjvf qpitch-1.0.tar.bz2 | 22:32 |
| superfirelord42 | llama_: and you need to remove the bad one like nickrud said... | 22:32 |
| Baby_Shambl3s | in asp where is the page directive again? is it inside the script tag or above it? | 22:32 |

| nickrud | Baby_Shambl3s bad joke I guess. an asp is a poisonous small snake, most famous for killing Cleopatra | 22:34 |
| superfirelord42 | kushalsejwal: that means its a registered name... choose a diffrent name... | 22:34 |
| axisys | glitsj16: thnx | 22:34 |

| glitsj16 | axisys: yes you can mouse out part of the screen you'd like to capture | 22:35 |

| notwist | Hey, I have a quick question regarding installing the aurora theme or GTK or whatever. I have configured it, compiled and installed without problem, but now when i choose "aurora midnight" everything is black and well but the edges are all sharp, like its still fallen back to "default" edges in some way. How do i get the smoooth edges? | 22:35 |
| zeno | !sound > zeno | 22:35 |
| ubottu | zeno, please see my private message | 22:35 |
| nickrud | Baby_Shambl3s no, I know nothing about microsoft programming (actually I wish that were true, I don't know the web stuff at all) | 22:35 |
| superfirelord42 | kushalsejwal: if you register it, then it will try to make you enter a password, someone may know a workaround though... | 22:35 |
| notwist | I tried the guides on the internet about how to install aurora and i followed it exactly, still the edges are all sharp | 22:36 |
| nickrud | kushalsejwal switch to xchat ;) | 22:36 |
| Baby_Shambl3s | nickrud, awww :'( | 22:36 |

| EnMasse187 | i used wine to install a game called morrowind, and some mods for it, i tried to uninstall them using the uninstallers, everything went good except for the folders that still remain in the menu bar sub folders of wine... | 22:41 |
| EnMasse187 | how do i get rid of those folders? | 22:41 |
| notwist | EnMasse187: try searching for them. maybe they're somewhere in the filesystem | 22:41 |
| notwist | like under /home/.wine or something | 22:42 |
| notwist | not sure... | 22:42 |
| EnMasse187 | well i just got linux a week ago | 22:42 |

| notwist | i cant understand why I get an error that supposedly shouldnt happen, atleast doesnt in the tutorials that are like 4 things you need to do | 22:44 |

I've tried using ndiswrapper-1.48 on each .inf file that I could find on the driver CD, but nothing worked. I've even tried the new auto ndis-wrapper and that couldn't help me either.

| _xyz | can I install Ubuntu and the Grub loader to one HDD while leaving the Windows HDD untouched? or do I HAVE to plug out the Windows HDD for this? | 22:48 |
| superfirelord42 | sgodsell: he got it fixed in #winehq | 22:48 |
| sgodsell | oh | 22:48 |
| tjohnson | I have a question for something I want to do on the cli, is there a better channel for that | 22:48 |
| nickrud | bryst what kind of partition on the secondary? | 22:48 |
| teratoma_ | digitaltao: are you talking about gnu flash and all of that stuff? flashplugin-nonfree is probably what you want | 22:48 |
| glitsj16 | axisys: what frontend are you using if any ? recordmydesktop was it yes ? | 22:48 |
| Johnny | i thought firefox crashing was supposed to be fixed in ff3 | 22:49 |
| bonez45 | are NVIDIA cards the standard, the preferred video hardware for running ubuntu with compiz? | 22:49 |
| Johnny | wtf | 22:49 |
| ompaul | tjohnson, you should ask and see if this place can do the answer in one line - or if you need to join a #bash or some such | 22:49 |
| Johnny | how do i get it to stop crashing every three seconds | 22:49 |
| digitaltao | teratoma_ : Allright thanks. | 22:49 |

| bryst | nickrud, I just formatted it to ext3 | 22:49 |

| llama_ | superfirelord42, @ | 22:50 |
| tjohnson | so I want to search every file for a string | 22:50 |
| superfirelord42 | llama_: im still looking... | 22:50 |
| notwist | _xyz: you can have GRUB and list both linux and windows | 22:50 |
| nickrud | bryst do you want it writeable by everyone, or just you? | 22:50 |
| tjohnson | including subdirs | 22:50 |
| notwist | _xyz: you can also choose windows as the default | 22:50 |
| sgodsell | tjohnson, use grep | 22:50 |
| bryst | I'm the only person that uses this computer | 22:50 |
| chillent | Hello. How can I get my Linksys WMP11v4 PCI wireless card to work in Ubuntu 8.04?

Any suggestions? | 22:50 |
| tjohnson | how do you search subdirs with grep | 22:51 |
| sgodsell | grep -r | 22:51 |
| notwist | tjohnson: recursive. usually -r | 22:51 |
| nickrud | bryst then I'd just make it owned by you. mount the partition, then chown bryst:bryst /media/<drive> | 22:51 |
| notwist | tjohnson: recursive = all folders beneath | 22:51 |
| tjohnson | I was using cat * | grep string, but that only does one dir | 22:51 |
| nickrud | bryst it will be remembered every time you mount it | 22:51 |
| notwist | tjohnson: try "man grep" :) | 22:51 |
| bryst | how do I mount it in terminal? | 22:51 |

| notwist | cchance: use google documents ;) | 22:52 |
| superfirelord42 | cchance: you can write it down on the excel equivlent in open office | 22:52 |
| DarkAudit | woot! apt-build IS bugged... sort of | 22:52 |
| cchance | notwist no wifi | 22:53 |
| nickrud | bryst do sudo fdisk -l , and put the results on paste.ubuntu.com. We'll set it up so it automounts when you boot, and has the right ownership | 22:53 |
| notwist | cchance: what? | 22:53 |
| notwist | cchance: im not sure i understand your problem | 22:53 |
| cchance | superfirelord42 i though of that but it didnt seem verry secure | 22:53 |
| cchance | notwist, the shows i have not internet there | 22:53 |
| notwist | cchance: if you don't have internet at the store i'm not sure how you can share it with your home computer. you'd have to save it on a USB memory or something | 22:54 |
| ArrPirate | anyone know if there is a way to mount a FATx partition with ubuntu? | 22:54 |
| cchance | notwist | 22:54 |
| cchance | sorry | 22:54 |
| notwist | ArrPirate: yeah, just mount -t FAT something | 22:54 |
| superfirelord42 | cchance: neither is keeping it on paper in some places... hehe... you could password protect the file? | 22:54 |
| nealmcb | on hardy when I open system/prefs/appearance I get a window with a blank interior and I can't close it without killing gnome-appearance-properties | 22:54 |
| nickrud | ArrPirate yes, mkdir /path/to/mountpoint && sudo mount /dev/<device> -t vfat /path/to/mountpoint | 22:54 |
| sgodsell | ArrPirate, mount -t vfat /device_to_be_mounted /my_mount_point | 22:55 |
| cchance | notwist, im not talking about the store. we move from place to place i already have something emplemented at teh store. But i need soething for my laptop at our off location shows | 22:55 |
| bryst | nickrud done | 22:55 |
| ArrPirate | vfat will handle fatx drives? | 22:55 |
| nickrud | ArrPirate that will mount it read only | 22:55 |
| ArrPirate | note that I don't mean the 'x' as a wild card | 22:55 |
| superfirelord42 | llama_: apt-get install tmake | 22:55 |
| nickrud | bryst give me the link, so I can see it | 22:55 |
| notwist | cchance: what exactly do you want the program on your laptop to _do_? | 22:55 |
| bryst | nickrud http://paste.ubuntu.com/28129/ | 22:55 |
| yuri_ | hello, i have a phone line connected to my laptop and would like to make normal telephone calls from my laptop. what package should i use? im having trouble finding anything | 22:55 |
| cchance | superfirelord42 but it would seem that they would have a way to get into a lost passworded file? | 22:56 |
| sgodsell | ArrPirate, yes | 22:56 |
| nickrud | bryst next, where do you want to mount it? The usage usually suggests a good place | 22:56 |
| cchance | notwist, check out customers and keep a record. check out by product serial or something.. | 22:56 |
| glitsj16 | axisys: there's a manual for recordmydesktop at http://recordmydesktop.sourceforge.net/rug/toc.php .. if you're using the gtk-frontend, use the right-click menu's in the tray to start screen selection area .. is that what you wanted ? | 22:56 |
| bryst | nickrud just for storage of pics, movies, etc. | 22:56 |
| superfirelord42 | cchance: i think there is a tool to work with scanners, like barcode scanners if that is what you want... | 22:56 |
| MrGlass | any ideas? I just got a USB wifi adapter. How do I load drivers/install it? its a netgear wg111t | 22:57 |
| umanerrr | Hello there. I am desperately trying to send emails through the command line using sendmail. It works in windows xp (virtual machine) fine, but it simply does not workin in ubuntu. I use the following syntax "sendmail -f SENDER@gmail.com -t RECIPIENT@gmail.com -u SUBJECTNAME -m MESSAGE BODY -s smtp.gmail.com:587 -xu GMAILUSERNAME -xp PASSWORD" (i do the same in windows but with "sendmail.exe").

| umanerrr | is as if the command does not get executed, there is a small black rectangle that appears below and starts blinking but i cannot execute other commands, it is like it does not register, the "USERNAME@COMPUTERNAME:~$" does not appear. and i do not receive an error from sendmail, the message simply does not get sent. I hope someone can help. Thanks in advance | 22:57 |
| shamus | can somebody help me with: http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?p=5406500 | 22:57 |

| ArrPirate | nickrud: didn't work | 22:57 |

| lazertek_ | how do install wordpress on hardy... | 22:58 |
| lazertek_ | i installed it from svn but can't launch it | 22:58 |

| lazertek_ | anyone know how to install wordpress on hardy | 23:01 |
| unop | !info wordpress | lazertek_ | 23:01 |

| lazertek_ | unop: any way to get 2.6 from repos or is there another repos for 2.6 | 23:02 |

| mariecpu | what should ldconfig return? | 23:02 |
| nickrud | ArrPirate you need to use nicks in lines, I missed your line | 23:03 |
| lazertek_ | unop i guess it did install that but how do i launch it now | 23:03 |
| lazertek_ | unop i dont see it in the menus | 23:03 |
| superfirelord42 | nickrud: it didnt work... for ArrPirate... | 23:03 |

| gnu | salut | 23:03 |
| unop | lazertek_, 2.3.3 is the latest in hardy - if you need a newer version, you need to install from source (svn as you mentioned) | 23:03 |

| nownot | does anyone have a good tutorial on setting up webdav? | 23:04 |

| notwist | is GTK2 installed with ubuntu by default? | 23:04 |
| MrGlass | is there a guide on how to use NDIS wrapper? | 23:04 |

| nickrud | notwist you compiled it? | 23:05 |
| Lichte | !amr | 23:05 |
| ubottu | Sorry, I don't know anything about amr | 23:05 |

| lazertek_ | unop that what i read too... guess ill keep asking around if anybody might know | 23:06 |
| craigbass1976 | ForsakenSoul, what if you try uninstalling it first? | 23:06 |
| MrGlass | !ndiswrapper | 23:06 |
| notwist | nickrud: yeah.. and then moved the themes to /usr/share/themes or whatever but they look weird | 23:06 |
| ubottu | Wireless documentation can be found at https://help.ubuntu.com/community/WifiDocs | 23:06 |
| superfirelord42 | nownot: i think it comes with the tomcat server distribution.. but it may be seperate | 23:06 |
| notwist | nickrud: the aurora midnight for example looks nothing like on the picture.. it's just black. like it only imports the colours and nothing else | 23:06 |
| ForsakenSoul | craigbass1976: did that also | 23:06 |
| nickrud | notwist don't know aurora at all. doesn't the webpage you got it from have some info? | 23:06 |
| notwist | nickrud: http://www.gnome-look.org/content/show.php/Aurora+Gtk+Engine?content=56438 | 23:06 |
| nickrud | brynk you there yet? | 23:07 |
| notwist | nickrud: all the tutorials ive seen pretty much says, compile, unpack themes, run them. exactly what i did. i have no idea why they won't look correct | 23:07 |
| bryst | nuckrud: how do I find the UUID? | 23:07 |
| ForsakenSoul | i think it has something to do with the updates .... because after I reinstalled the os before I did an update and restarted it was all working | 23:07 |
| ForsakenSoul | but I can't tell which package broke it ;( | 23:07 |
| ForsakenSoul | :( | 23:07 |

| shamus | suselin: I'm in ubuntu on both machines. Windows is broken on the laptop so I'm trying to recover files through a live cd to my desktop | 23:15 |
| silvia | Anyone can give me a hand using my broadcom wireless with ndiswrapper instead of fwcutter? I've been through some howtos and tutorials but still no luck. I'd say my foremost problem is that ndiswrapper dos not detect my wlan board... but I'm pretty sure it is compatible with the windows driver I'm feeding it | 23:15 |
| nickrud | ubuntuuser29823 /j #ubuntu-de bitte | 23:15 |
| opt1k | i got a problem with terminal, i accidentally typed smth in the field load custom command in shell (or whatever the name is) and now terminal won't open. what to do? | 23:15 |
| suselin | shamus, you have them networked | 23:15 |
| lazertek_ | sudo gedit /var/www/testphp.php | 23:16 |
| shamus | suselin: they are using the same router, the laptop wireless, the desktop not | 23:16 |
| lazertek_ | oops | 23:16 |
| bryst | nickrud: file now looks like this: http://paste.ubuntu.com/28132/ | 23:16 |
| suselin | shamus, if you have a shared folder you can copy over | 23:17 |
| shamus | suselin, I'm trying to get the 2 machines to connect over the network to each other | 23:17 |
| unop | umanerrr, you sorted your sendmail thing out? | 23:17 |
| suselin | shamus, did you enable samba | 23:17 |
| ubuntuuser29823 | i want to update my ubuntu 8.x with ubuntu studio | 23:17 |
| neeto | Where do you change which extensions get opened in which programs by default? | 23:17 |
| ubuntuuser29823 | a website shows me, that i can find the update in the "universe quell" | 23:17 |
| ubuntuuser29823 | but what is that? | 23:17 |
| nickrud | bryst looks good, so let's test: sudo umount /data && ls /data . Make sure you don't see lost+found. Then sudo mount /data && ls /data , make sure you see it. Then, ls -ld /data , make sure it shows your username as the owner | 23:18 |
| ubuntuuser29823 | where can i find that? | 23:18 |
| shamus | suselin, no i did not | 23:18 |
| suselin | shamus, do that | 23:18 |
| opt1k | i got a problem with terminal, i accidentally typed smth in the field load custom command in shell (or whatever the name is) and now terminal won't open. what to do? | 23:18 |
| shamus | suselin, how? (new to ubuntu) | 23:18 |
| superfirelord42 | ubuntuuser29823: what was the site? | 23:18 |

| nickrud | opt1k you need to tell us a bit more about what you did, there's many things you could have done that might make the terminal not run | 23:19 |

| Reaby | we got major problem in loco channel, one person has updated his computer and now everythign else in usb is lost than hid devices- also he got apic error on cpu0 - any ideas to fix, since we got none. | 23:19 |
| Reaby | modprobing other modules causes error | 23:19 |
| suselin | shamus, synaptic | 23:20 |
| opt1k | nickrud: heh i think i typed in that field sh path/to/shell.sh instead of in terminal window | 23:20 |
| neeto | _xyz: you can log in as root, but it's not a good idea, since you can really screw stuff up on accident. in fact, having to type sudo every time you need root permissions to do something is one of the reasons why linux is so secure. | 23:20 |
| notwist | nickrud: in case you care i solved the theme thing :) | 23:20 |
| ubuntuuser29823 | dieser channel macht überhaupt keinen sinn | 23:20 |
| lazertek_ | ubuntuuser29823: if you are trying to activate updates... just go to synapic package manager then go to repositories youll see it there | 23:20 |
| shamus | suselin, I don't need samba, samba is for cross compatibility of windows and ubuntu. I need the 2 ubuntu machines to share a folder | 23:20 |
| _xyz | neeto: ok, it makes sense | 23:20 |
| nickrud | Reaby first thing, I'd do sudo apt-get install --reinstall linux-image-$(uname -r) | 23:20 |
| nickrud | notwist jump in, there's no status here ;) | 23:20 |
| _xyz | neeto: how can I log in as root though? | 23:20 |
| Reaby | nickrud: ok, let's try that. | 23:20 |
| bryst | nickrud: looks good to me http://paste.ubuntu.com/28133/ | 23:20 |
| suselin | shamus, then nfs | 23:20 |
| notwist | nickrud: the themes had to be put in ~/.themes and not in /usr/share/themes/ | 23:21 |
| unop | shamus, setup NFS | 23:21 |
| notwist | nickrud: maybe its a root issue | 23:21 |
| nickrud | notwist hm, either should work really. | 23:21 |
| mikegnome | How I set my workspace d/tops to transparent? | 23:21 |

| superfirelord42 | Reaby: wait, he is missing his usb drivers? | 23:21 |
| Reaby | superfirelord42: also that. | 23:21 |
| superfirelord42 | Reaby: or his usb devices on the /dev tree? | 23:21 |
| bryst | nickrud: thanks for you help | 23:21 |

| === qwer_ is now known as julian | ||
| EDocToor | hi | 23:22 |
| neeto | _xyz: if you've never logged in as root, there are several things to do, and it will make it simple to log in after this. First, drop sudo -s into a terminal, and enter your password. You are now officially logged in as root. | 23:22 |
| silvia | I don't want to be rude, so how long should I wait before repeating a pleafor help? :-) | 23:22 |
| notwist | nickrud: dunno, point is it worked and it's pretty cool. you should try it :) | 23:22 |
| nickrud | bryst you're welcome. Now I have to go figure out what I did that makes my keysssssssssssssss repeat everytime I'm highlighted here while I'm typingggggggggggggggggggggg ;) | 23:22 |
| superfirelord42 | Reaby: he probably needs to apt-get his kernel modules, they sound missing... i dont remember the package though... | 23:22 |
| unop | !patience | silvia | 23:22 |
| ubottu | silvia: The people here are volunteers, your attitude should reflect that. Answers are not always available. See http://wiki.ubuntu.com/IrcGuidelines | 23:23 |
| nickrud | opt1k what field, that's the key here | 23:23 |
| _xyz | neeto: 'and it will make it simple to log in after this' .. so something is changed permanently? | 23:23 |
| Reaby | superfirelord42: ok, i locate those and say to install them also. | 23:23 |
| neeto | _xyz: After that, you should type passwd, which will change your password as root, put in a password (probably the same as you use for everything else so it's easy to remember) and from then on you can just type su to login as root | 23:23 |
| EDocToor | I use UBUNTU, but what is the name of the kids version of ubuntu... if there is a children version ... age 11 and 13 ... | 23:23 |
| === julian is now known as qwer_ | ||
| unop | silvia, wait 5 minutes or so before asking your question again - what is your question? | 23:23 |
| bryst | nickrud: lol, good luck | 23:23 |
| nickrud | EDocToor edubuntu | 23:23 |
| glitsj16 | EDocToor: edubuntu seems what you want | 23:23 |
| opt1k | nickrud: heh, if i could remember that.. but i think it was the one load custom command in shell | 23:23 |
| jxw002 | notwist: Could I ask for some more help? | 23:23 |
| opt1k | smth like that | 23:23 |
| notwist | jxw002: sure mate | 23:23 |
| EDocToor | thanks | 23:23 |
| neeto | _xyz: but be mindful of what you are doing when you are logged in as root. You can't undo anything you do as root, and it's easy to kill stuff accidentally | 23:23 |
| unop | neeto, do not recommend setting the root password please | 23:24 |
| nickrud | I've been messing with sound, and the sound is lagging badly. | 23:24 |
| superfirelord42 | Reaby: so he is missing his modules for usb, what else was happening? | 23:24 |
| unop | !sudo | neeto, _xyz | 23:24 |
| ubottu | neeto, _xyz: 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) | 23:24 |
| _xyz | neeto: so the login IN THE LOGIN screen would now become 'su' and my old user account would be 'gone' or permanently updraded? | 23:24 |
| notwist | neeto: why root when you can sudo? | 23:24 |
| _xyz | i was just asking him | 23:24 |
| jxw002 | notwist: now I have new drive to use, how can I setup apt-get install, so everytime I download some files via apt-get install, it will automatically save to my new drive | 23:24 |
| _xyz | anyway, i think i'll stick to SUDO | 23:24 |
| Reaby | superfirelord42: well he just installed kernel-image again, and is now rebooting computer | 23:24 |
| neeto | notwist: not sure, _xyz was asking so I told him. | 23:24 |
| unop | _xyz, please do not try and do that -- it is not recommended logging on as root | 23:24 |
| _xyz | thanks for the info | 23:24 |
| notwist | jxw002: perhaps you could merge the new partition with your current to create more space | 23:25 |
| superfirelord42 | Reaby: what channel is he in? | 23:25 |
| umanerrr | Hello there. I am desperately trying to send emails through the command line using sendmail. It works in windows xp (virtual machine) fine, but it simply does not workin in ubuntu. I use the following syntax "sendmail -f SENDER@gmail.com -t RECIPIENT@gmail.com -u SUBJECTNAME -m MESSAGE BODY -s smtp.gmail.com:587 -xu GMAILUSERNAME -xp PASSWORD" (i do the same in windows but with "sendmail.exe"). When i type that command in terminal and then press enter, it | 23:25 |
| umanerrr | is as if the command does not get executed, there is a small black rectangle that appears below and starts blinking but i cannot execute other commands, it is like it does not register, the "USERNAME@COMPUTERNAME:~$" does not appear. and i do not receive an error from sendmail, the message simply does not get sent. I hope someone can help. Thanks in advance | 23:25 |
| nickrud | opt1k that doesn't ring a bell, do you have any memory of what your intent was? | 23:25 |
| neeto | _xyz: yeah yeah, no worries, be careful | 23:25 |
| Reaby | superfirelord42: #ubuntu-fi | 23:25 |
| nickrud | umanerrr you might try asking on #sendmail | 23:25 |
| notwist | umanerrr: you should try making a forum thread instead of spamming the channel | 23:25 |
| Jack_Sparrow | umanerrr Please stop spamming | 23:25 |
| notwist | _xyz: being root isnt necessary, just so you know | 23:25 |
| notwist | _xyz: sudo works fine :) | 23:25 |
| superfirelord42 | Reaby: ah, didnt catch it was a language channel earlier.. | 23:25 |
| opt1k | nickrud: my intent was to run the shell script from terminal, but i know i was editing smth in terminal properties and accidentally i typed in sh command in that field instead of terminal window :( | 23:26 |
| jxw002 | notwist: I see, thank you | 23:26 |
| Reaby | superfirelord42: yep, we runned out of ideas, that's why i came here | 23:26 |
| superfirelord42 | Reaby: he may be expiancing this... http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=292273 | 23:26 |
| unop | umanerrr, the sendmail you have on windows is not the same sendmail on linux (and the sendmail utility varies from linux system to system) -- on ubuntu, it is the exIm utility -- and the reason it is not sending you back to the prompt is because it is waiting for you to type a message out | 23:26 |
| _xyz | anyone know if for X-Fi cards, ALSA supports EAX and OSS doesn't? | 23:26 |
| nickrud | opt1k what terminal properties? edit->current profile ? | 23:26 |
| opt1k | yep | 23:26 |

I'd say my foremost problem is that ndiswrapper dos not detect my wlan board... but I'm pretty sure it is compatible with the windows driver I'm feeding it | 23:27 |
| Jack_Sparrow | umanerrr Are you here or are we in the presence of some script | 23:27 |
| superfirelord42 | Reaby: tell him to try sudo apt-get install linux-ubuntu-modules-$(uname -r) | 23:27 |
| Gaming4JC | Anyone know how yo make a directory public on an FTP, like the Ubuntu Repos do where you can view files? | 23:27 |

| EDocToor | umanerrr; or sendmail --help | 23:27 |
| superfirelord42 | Reaby: if the reinstall of the image does not work, that will install his modules... hopefully | 23:27 |

| nickrud | dang, sound is still lagged. | 23:41 |

| opt1k | tx4support | 23:41 |
| Oli`` | legend2440: hmm it's enabled already =\ | 23:41 |
| nickrud | nopper I've heard of a script that will build a list of installed packages from /usr/share/doc , and then reinstall them all. That's the only technique I've heard of | 23:41 |
| superfirelord42 | SliMM: i dont see one in the repos, could be build elsewhere | 23:41 |
| burzum | hi | 23:42 |
| superfirelord42 | SliMM: or you could install it via the linux installer if i recall... | 23:42 |
| unop | nopper, does this command list installed packages? dpkg -l | 23:42 |
| shamus | suselin, I now have a folder called "smb://ubuntu/" | 23:42 |
| nopper | do you know the name of this script? | 23:42 |
| trashguy | whats a repo? | 23:42 |
| burzum | where in ubuntu 6.06 is the php5 cli binary stored? | 23:42 |
| obsolete | How buggy are the Pre-released updates in Synaptic? | 23:42 |
| SliMM | superfirelord42: what's the linux installer? | 23:42 |
| obsolete | Is it a good idea to enable them? | 23:42 |
| nopper | yes i could get a complete list | 23:42 |
| nopper | but how to force the reinstall phase | 23:42 |
| unop | !who | nopper | 23:42 |
| ubottu | nopper: As you can see, this is a large channel. If you're speaking to someone in particular, please put their nickname in what you say (use !tab), or else messages get lost and it becomes confusing :) | 23:42 |
| nopper | nickrud, yes i could get a complete list but how to force the reinstall phase? | 23:43 |
| nopper | :D | 23:43 |
| legend2440 | Oli``: maybe its bug-buddy i n synaptic | 23:43 |
| raheem | !repo trashguy | 23:43 |
| superfirelord42 | SliMM: i belive they have an installer on their page.. hold on, i can check and give you the link... | 23:43 |
| glitsj16 | trashguy: a software repository, a collection off installable application packages | 23:43 |
| ubottu | Sorry, I don't know anything about repo trashguy | 23:43 |
| legend2440 | Oli``: maybe its bug-buddy in synaptic | 23:43 |
| trashguy | i thought this was the freebsd chan for a sec was goign to slap someone ^^ | 23:43 |
| unop | nopper, does this complete ok? sudo apt-get install -f | 23:43 |
| Jack_Sparrow | !clone > nopper | 23:43 |
| ubottu | nopper, please see my private message | 23:43 |
| SliMM | superfirelord42: that'd be great, thanks | 23:43 |
| nopper | unop, doesnt' work | 23:43 |
| m0rpheus | hi all | 23:44 |
| Oli`` | legend2440: still installed | 23:44 |
| unop | !doesn't work | nopper | 23:44 |
| ubottu | nopper: Doesn't work is a strong statement. Does it sit on the couch all day? Does it want more money? Is it on IRC all the time? Please be specific! Examples of what doesn't work tend to help too. | 23:44 |
| nopper | .. this bots makes me crazy | 23:44 |
| loquitus_of_borg | Is there a way to mount a zfs partition into linux? | 23:44 |
| unop | nopper, I can't read your mind or screen -- you need to open up and explain what is happening if you want to be helped | 23:44 |
| superfirelord42 | SliMM: download is http://www.eclipse.org/downloads/download.php?file=/eclipse/downloads/drops/R-3.4-200806172000/eclipse-SDK-3.4-linux-gtk.tar.gz looking for instructions.... | 23:44 |
| Jack_Sparrow | nopper Only if you dont pay attention | 23:45 |
| legend2440 | Oli``: not sure. never actually seen any bug report app when something crashes | 23:45 |
| nopper | unop, Jack_Sparrow i don't have a second machine so i can't do it | 23:45 |
| SliMM | superfirelord42: i have downloaded that, but I want to install it "properly" | 23:45 |
| nickrud | nopper then you haven't got them totally wrong. http://ubuntuforums.org/showpost.php?p=4020978&postcount=4 should help | 23:45 |
| kcman | so mount -t 9660 iso and then what to mount an iso? | 23:45 |
| Jack_Sparrow | !iso | 23:45 |
| ubottu | To mount an ISO disc image, type « sudo mount -o loop <ISO-filename> <mountpoint> » - There is a list of useful cd image conversion tools at http://wiki.linuxquestions.org/wiki/CD_Image_Conversion - Always verify the ISO using !MD5 before !burning. | 23:45 |
| superfirelord42 | SliMM: thats what im looking for... | 23:45 |
| unop | nopper, second machine? can't you log on the machine in question? | 23:46 |
| obsolete | Is it a good idea to enable the pre-release updates in Synaptic? | 23:46 |
| SliMM | superfirelord42: i.e. where should I place its contents, how should I start it, how should I create a menu item for it | 23:46 |
| superfirelord42 | llama_: ? | 23:46 |
| CppIsWeird | is there a cli version of the information presented in a right-click properties of a directory? | 23:46 |
| Oli`` | legend2440: oh it was my bad - it's apparently disabled on final releases by default - I was too used to beta versions =) | 23:46 |
| unop | CppIsWeird, what kind of information are you after? | 23:46 |
| superfirelord42 | SliMM: yup... i know... im trying to find that out... i have done eclipse before, just been a while... | 23:47 |
| nopper | unop, ok i've tryed but it doesn't do anything | 23:47 |
| SliMM | superfirelord42: that's why I like .debs, they keep the system organised | 23:47 |
| legend2440 | Oli``: oh ok | 23:47 |
| CppIsWeird | unop, directory count, file count, total size, etc. | 23:47 |
| unop | nopper, nothing at all? not even spit out any information? | 23:47 |
| raheem | CppIsWeird: ls -la ? | 23:47 |
| nopper | 0 upgraded, 0 newly installed, 0 to remove and 0 not upgraded. | 23:47 |

| superfirelord42 | llama_: what was the error? | 23:47 |
| unop | !clone | nopper (follow these instructions here) | 23:47 |
| ubottu | nopper (follow these instructions here): 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 | 23:47 |
| llama_ | it couldn't find a server? | 23:48 |
| SliMM | superfirelord42: i do, i have eclipse 3.2 up and running | 23:48 |
| nopper | unop i've mentioned you at the end of phrase | 23:48 |
| nopper | .. | 23:48 |
| CppIsWeird | i want it to be of the directory recursively, a total of everything from the directory on. | 23:48 |
| === obsolete is now known as Obsoletex | ||
| unop | nopper, instead of using two machines here -- use one, clone onto the same machine | 23:48 |
| Obsoletex | Is it a good idea to enable the pre-release updates in Synaptic? | 23:48 |
| nopper | unop it's what i've done right now o.o | 23:48 |
| llama_ | superfirelord42, it downloaded 10.1 out of 10.8 MB of build-essential. All the other files downloaded properly. | 23:48 |
| raheem | CppIsWeird: what info exactly r u looking for ? disk usage? | 23:49 |
| superfirelord42 | llama_: what didnt download? | 23:49 |

| llama_ | @ superfirelord42 | 23:49 |
| suselin_ | shamus, if you have a shared folder | 23:49 |

| superfirelord42 | llama_: got it... hmm... | 23:50 |
| danfg | how do i get the output of, say, ls -1, and execute a command on each file listed? | 23:50 |
| nopper | same | 23:50 |
| unop | CppIsWeird, all those utilities i listed give you the information you want .. you need to use them individually | 23:50 |
| superfirelord42 | llama_: try apt-get again... maybe internet hickuped or something ot the server | 23:50 |
| llama_ | it recommended something like --fix-missing, or apt-get update | 23:51 |
| unop | danfg, don't use ls like that. use find instead. find . -type f -exec echo {} \; | 23:51 |
| llama_ | I'm running apt-get update right now. just finished that. | 23:51 |
| superfirelord42 | SliMM: apparnetly there are some issues with 3.4 on ubuntu... im reading them... | 23:51 |
| unop | nopper, sudo aptitude reinstall $(dpkg -l | cut -d" " -f 3) | 23:51 |
| nickrud | nopper ah, misunderstood. http://ubuntuforums.org/showpost.php?p=4020954&postcount=3 , replace apt-get install with dpkg -i on the second line | 23:51 |
| lenswipe | Does anyone know if ubuntu will load balance between network cards? | 23:51 |
| biovore | it can.. | 23:52 |
| unop | lenswipe, only if you set it up to | 23:52 |
| biovore | ethernet bonding.. | 23:52 |
| mariecpu | http://paste.ubuntu.com/27889/ - can anyone help me sort out this bluez-utils compile error? | 23:52 |
| lenswipe | unop: is it a pain in the ass to do? | 23:52 |
| nickrud | nopper no, that won't work, sorry | 23:52 |
| danfg | unop: nice, but i'm guessing exec is a find option, is there a command that gets an output and uses the contents of each line to execute a command? | 23:52 |
| nopper | nickrud, | 23:52 |
| superfirelord42 | SliMM: hehe, spoke to soon, wasnt a bug, was a wishlist... | 23:52 |
| nopper | the problem is also present when i'm doing for example aptitude reinstall -f hal | 23:52 |
| biovore | for ethernet bonding google debian ethernet bonding.. should be some hits on how to do it.. basiclly just need to edit 1 file.. | 23:52 |
| kcman | ok so mount is >> sudo mount -o loop filename.iso <mountpoint>? i dont understand the mount point how does that work? | 23:52 |
| llama_ | superfirelord42, it seems to be finished and have worked properly this time? I think? That seems pretty fast for 42mb of data. :\ | 23:53 |
| m0rpheus | well... don't wana disturb, but I need help, too... lol | 23:53 |
| SliMM | superfirelord42: 3.2 is in the repos sience feisty | 23:53 |
| nopper | that prints out this error | 23:53 |
| nopper | failed in buffer_read(fd): files list for package `system-config-printer-common': Is a directory | 23:53 |
| unop | lenswipe, mind the language -- and yes, your mileage may vary -- but with the right how-tos, it should be ok | 23:53 |
| nopper | i think that the file containing the list of files is broken so i need to reinstall all packages | 23:53 |
| superfirelord42 | llama_: what happens when you execute make? | 23:53 |
| nopper | to avoid future problems | 23:53 |
| llama_ | there is no makefile. | 23:53 |
| nickrud | nopper I'm reasonably good with packaging, but I don't have an answer. And that's why you need dpkg , it will recreate that stuff for you. | 23:53 |
| llama_ | do you mean tmake? | 23:53 |
| llama_ | @ superfirelord42 | 23:54 |
| superfirelord42 | SliMM: basicly, to use the eclipse package, unzip it and execute eclipse... | 23:54 |
| nopper | what the dpkg command to do it? | 23:54 |
| superfirelord42 | llama_: no i mean make | 23:54 |
| nopper | dpkg -if ? | 23:54 |
| m0rpheus | anyone could help me, configuring route over VPN ? ... | 23:54 |
| llama_ | make: *** No tagets specified and no makefile found. Stop. | 23:54 |
| unop | danfg, exec -find is what you need. -find can take any unix command. e.g. to move all files to another directory. find . -maxdepth 1 -type f -exec mv -v {} /other/directory \; | 23:54 |
| nickrud | nopper dpkg -i <package>-<version>.deb , and the <version>.deb is the thing I'm not sure how to recreate for you. | 23:54 |
| llama_ | @ superfirelord42 | 23:54 |
| superfirelord42 | SliMM: i dont remember where ubuntu puts them... but you can put it in /opt i think... /opt/eclipse-2.4 | 23:55 |
| superfirelord42 | llama_: good, that installed.. basicly im checking to see if stuff installed, gcc --version? | 23:55 |
| nopper | the problem persists | 23:55 |

| danfg | unop: i'll look into find. i think i found the command i was also looking for: xargs, i'll educate myself on find and xargs, thanks! | 23:56 |
| amenado | m0rpheus-> we'll give it a shot..what you got? | 23:56 |
| llama_ | it wants an argument. | 23:56 |
| superfirelord42 | llama_: supposably, tmake will make a Makefile for you... | 23:56 |
| llama_ | tmake qpitch.pro? | 23:56 |
| llama_ | @ superfirelord42 | 23:57 |
| superfirelord42 | llama_: i think its just tmake, no arguments, just like make.. | 23:57 |
| superfirelord42 | llama_: but if it doesnt work, do it with the argument... | 23:57 |
| llama_ | it tells me usage, then options I can use. | 23:57 |
| llama_ | Usage: | 23:57 |
| llama_ | tmake [options] project-files | 23:57 |
| m0rpheus | amenado, thx :) I have to connect Ubuntu to a windows VPN server, to use is Internet connection | 23:57 |
| unop | danfg, find -exec takes the place of xargs -- you can use xargs but you need to be careful with using it, you need to escape anything you pass it properly, or you can find yourself doing serious damage to files | 23:57 |
| superfirelord42 | llama_: tmake qpitch.pro i belive | 23:57 |
| superfirelord42 | llama_: im looking up the man pages... | 23:58 |
| raheem | !vpn | 23:58 |
| llama_ | I ran that, lots of output. Do I run "make" now? | 23:58 |
| ubottu | From more information on vpn please refer to https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Gaming_VPN_Using_PPTPD | 23:58 |

| Agent_bob | in dapper 6.6 is it a well known issue with the gnome-pannel that you can't delete the last pannel and that if you empty it you can't move it ? | 23:58 |
