| amenado | m0rpheus-> you can not get directly to the internet from ubuntu (in addition to the vpn established with windows) ? | 00:08 |

| superfirelord42 | llama_: i thought so, it doenst know where qt is installed... hold on... | 00:08 |
| ethereality | resskin, i dunno.... could be an oversight. | 00:08 |
| foo | Hm, I have a dell laptop. When I shut my lid, the screen turns off... but the laptop is still on. is there some type of standby or something? | 00:09 |
| amenado | m0rpheus-> well you have to ask #windows people to tell you how windows would allow two accesses to the internet then | 00:09 |
| Agent_bob | Amaranth heh. i'm using dapper anymore would be pre 2006 ? | 00:09 |
| belkinhelp2 | help...i cant get hddtemp to work | 00:09 |

| The-Kernel | what's a good application for controlling my wireless connections? | 00:10 |
| Amaranth | Agent_bob: i swear that worked at one point, maybe it works now and didn't then, i'm on OS X right now so can't test | 00:10 |
| Odd-rationale | foo: that is normal, however, you can set it to standby whenever you close the lid. System --> pref --> power managerment | 00:10 |
| legend2440 | ethereality: if you want Computer icon on desktop then in terminal tyoe gconf-editor then browse to /apps/nautilus/desktop/volumes_visible and check the box for computer icon | 00:10 |
| Agent_bob | well i'll find something i can use for now. thanks just the same. | 00:10 |
| m0rpheus | amenado, the server is properly configured: when I use a windows vpn client, I see the server's ip on "my-ip.com" web sites | 00:10 |
| foo | raheem / Odd-rationale: thank you! I'm in fluxbox, hmm, this is ubuntu server. Any way to do it on the CLI? | 00:10 |
| p00zer | anyone here use xampp phpmyadmin | 00:10 |

| Odd-rationale | foo: do you have gnome-power-manager installed? | 00:10 |
| XJman | Anyone have any ideas what would cause me to randomly lose my wireless card recognization? | 00:10 |
| m0rpheus | amenado, but when I'm using a Ubuntu, the IP is still the client's one | 00:11 |
| llama_ | XJman, deleting random files would do it. | 00:11 |
| amenado | m0rpheus-> which server ip is that? and from where are you making that query from? | 00:11 |
| ethereality | oh er, thanks, legend2440, i'll check into it ..... | 00:11 |
| foo | Odd-rationale: hmm, nope | 00:11 |
| Odd-rationale | foo: well, you will need it installed to use it... sudo apt-get install gnome-power-manager | 00:11 |
| llama_ | superfirelord42, still working on it? | 00:11 |
| XJman | Thats whats confusing me, I'm not deleting anything, changing packages, just surfing online and listening to music and I totally lost the card, | 00:12 |
| foo | Odd-rationale: and that will work with fluxbox, correct? | 00:12 |
| superfirelord42 | llama_: think i found it... | 00:12 |
| Odd-rationale | foo: corrct | 00:12 |
| superfirelord42 | llama_: just found it... apt-get install libqt4-dev | 00:12 |
| foo | Odd-rationale: alright, thanks, I'll try that | 00:12 |
| superfirelord42 | llama_: that installs the include files you where needing | 00:12 |
| m0rpheus | amenado, I configured my windows server to share is internet connection, so... is internet ip | 00:12 |
| === Lusule is now known as lusule_ | ||
| XJman | Then after a few minutes ubuntu finds it again and all is good. | 00:12 |
| resskin | XJman I read about a specific issue with some HP laptops in Micromart recently | 00:12 |
| Tomatix | Hm, my installer says "122%". The HDD light is on and my dvd rom has no activity. I am trying to reinstall 8.04 on my laptop, can someone tell my why the percentage are so high? | 00:13 |
| === lusule_ is now known as lusule|afk | ||
| superfirelord42 | llama_: and before we make again, do an ls /usr/X11R6/include | 00:13 |
| Odd-rationale | foo: after you install it, you can set the preferences by starting "gnome-power-preferences". also, you might want to add "gnome-power-manager &" to you ~/.fluxbox/startup so that is starts up every time you start fluxbox. | 00:13 |
| m0rpheus | amenado, you don't know how to route the stream ? | 00:13 |
| ethereality | ha, thanks, legend2440 ... well, that link does go to Places -> Computer ... | 00:13 |
| llama_ | k. | 00:13 |

| The-Kernel | is there a wireless indicator thing for the panel that I can install? | 00:13 |
| superfirelord42 | kk | 00:13 |
| Odd-rationale | foo: k. i gtg. good luck | 00:14 |
| amenado | m0rpheus-> its not how to route the stream, I may be mis-understanding what you are saying, | 00:14 |
| m0rpheus | amenado, it must be "route add -host" or something like thtat | 00:14 |

| ubottu | Sorry, I don't know anything about at76c50x | 00:14 |
| foo | Odd-rationale: ahh, ok, thanks | 00:14 |
| amenado | m0rpheus-> you have a connectivity between your ubuntu host and the windows server, that is not good enuff? | 00:15 |
| glitsj16 | The_Kernel: there's a pretty extensive thread on managing wireless connections at http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=587010 .. basically you seem to have people that favor either Network Manager or WCID .. | 00:15 |

| Geitekont | oops :S | 00:15 |
| belkinhelp2 | im trying hddtemp and get the file or directory not found error | 00:16 |
| m0rpheus | amenado, windows client => windows server => www.ip-adress.com = server's ip (what I want) | 00:16 |
| amenado | m0rpheus-> you seem to get confused on what you are trying to achieve ...both ends can already talk to each other right? | 00:16 |
| llama_ | superfirelord42, ls /usr/X11R6/include no such file or dir | 00:16 |
| belkinhelp2 | where would Ubuntu put "hda"? | 00:16 |
| m0rpheus | amenado, ubuntu client => windows server => www.ip-adress.com = client's ip (what I don't want) | 00:16 |

| digi_josh | does anyone know how to print a pdf from command line? | 00:17 |
| llama_ | superfirelord42, and then what. | 00:17 |

| superfirelord42 | llama_: then we run make... | 00:17 |

| dssuncin | does anybody know how to install libdvdcss? | 00:19 |
| amenado | m0rpheus-> let me paraphrase my question, what command do you type in the ubuntu host to get that ip address? | 00:19 |
| m0rpheus | amenado, connection is okay, but route to the net is not complete | 00:19 |
| resskin | m0rpheus I didn't really understand you problem. Are you saying you can't access the Ubuntu share from windows but it's alright the other way around? | 00:19 |
| llama_ | http://paste.ubuntu.com/28141/ | 00:19 |
| amenado | m0rpheus-> it is complete, you are using the internet already as you have said many times and you are using the VPN to secure the link in between | 00:19 |
| superfirelord42 | one sec.... | 00:19 |
| m0rpheus | resskin, I have a working VPN server, on a windows box, would like to use the server's internet connection from my Ubuntu's box | 00:20 |

| resskin | ghostlines synaptic or adept depending on the version | 00:22 |
| m0rpheus | amenado, my client's internet connection is limited, so I need to use my server's internet connection | 00:22 |
| ethereality | Ubuntu keeps stalling -- it freezes momentarily for a second at a time. Do you know why? | 00:23 |
| amenado | m0rpheus-> let me back up to the beginning ...both sides have internet connection? and then you used the VPN to secure the internet connection between them? | 00:23 |
| m0rpheus | with a "route add -host <server_ip> gw <gateway...>" maybe *-) | 00:23 |
| shamus | suselin, thank you very much | 00:23 |
| m0rpheus | amenado yes | 00:23 |
| sgodsell | ethereality, what does your dmesg say? | 00:23 |
| sgodsell | ethereality, any messages in there | 00:24 |
| dssuncin | anyone help installing libdvdcss | 00:24 |
| ethereality | sgodsell, no: it just acts like ... like windows does when it's thinking really hard | 00:24 |
| amenado | m0rpheus-> okay you just claimed both sides have internet connections, and you have used the VPN to secure the link. Now you want an additional internet access? | 00:24 |
| ethereality | everything just freezes for an instant -- no, i mean, the cursor and input does | 00:24 |
| ethereality | the music in rhythmbox keeps playing, though. | 00:24 |
| sgodsell | ethereality, what does uptime say. Or have you tried top | 00:24 |

| LordMetroid | Hey all, I am running Ubuntu 6.10 and it feels like it is a need for an update of the whole chibang | 00:26 |
| sgodsell | ethereality, uptime will tell you what the cpu is currently at, and top will show you which processes if any are eating the cpu | 00:26 |
| m0rpheus | amenado don't understand ? lol | 00:26 |
| LordMetroid | Partly because the package manager only gets 404 returned | 00:26 |
| LordMetroid | What does the LTS prefix mean? | 00:26 |
| sgodsell | what speed is your system ethereality ? | 00:26 |
| Starnestommy | LordMetroid: long term support | 00:26 |

| LordMetroid | Ohh, I don't need any LTS | 00:26 |
| superfirelord42 | llama_: tmake -o Makefile gpitch.pro | 00:26 |
| amenado | m0rpheus-> then you have to ask the #windows people to allow your windows server a second route to the internet, and it should distinguishe traffic going towards your ubuntu host and the windows host and the other host within the windows private lan | 00:26 |
| llama_ | superfirelord42, doing. | 00:27 |

| ethereality | i turned off the Visual Effects: should i wait to see if the system "freezes" again? | 00:28 |
| amenado | m0rpheus-> once a client is logged on to the windows server, the situation is as if you were then sitting in the server and not at the client, therefore any host or network reacheable from the server can be seen..you follow? | 00:28 |
| mariecpu | for bluez-utils | 00:28 |

| Amerikaner | alright thanks _xyz | 00:30 |
| Amaranth | oh, Amerikaner | 00:30 |
| glitsj16 | dssuncin: ok | 00:31 |
| holmser | Hi all... I'm trying to switch my mother over to ubuntu on her laptop and we are running into a snag getting it to recognize her sony memory stick | 00:31 |
| shwan | Amerikaner: If mean burning to cd or dvd , no there is no difference | 00:31 |
| superfirelord42 | llama_: yeah... they allow the program to use functions in them | 00:31 |
| kriss | Amaranth, heh sorry | 00:31 |
| Amaranth | Amerikaner: the DVD has more packages from main that you can install without internet access | 00:31 |
| m0rpheus | amenado, so i logged on the server, with ubuntu's client... and there not the same network | 00:31 |
| vita | Hey what is the differnce between the nvidia-glx-new and teh nvidia-glx-new-envy drivers? | 00:31 |
| _xyz | Anyone here ever had to compile the Kernel? | 00:31 |
| dssuncin | glits heres the error '“deb' is not known on line 41 in source list /etc/apt/sources.list | 00:31 |
| dssuncin | E: The list of sources could not be read. | 00:31 |
| Amaranth | Amerikaner: otherwise if you have good access where you're installing I would say get the CD | 00:31 |
| Amaranth | !kernel | 00:31 |
| ubottu | The core of the Ubuntu Operating System is the Linux kernel: see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Kernel - You shouldn't have to compile your own, but if you're convinced you do, see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Kernel/Compile - See also: /msg ubottu stages | 00:31 |
| resskin | Amerikaner well in one way - the DVD seems to support more hardware, so you can install from the DVD on some systems where the CD doesn't have those obscure drivers | 00:31 |
| Amerikaner | im asking cause i dont have any blank cd's w/ me | 00:31 |
| holmser | her card reader will read my MMC and SD cards, just not her memory stick | 00:31 |
| Amaranth | resskin: who says? | 00:31 |
| Amaranth | Amerikaner: you can burn the CD iso on a DVD | 00:32 |
| amenado | m0rpheus-> yes you log on to the windows server from the ubuntu..then you will see exact same things as if you were using a windows client that logged on to same server | 00:32 |
| kcman | can anyone tell me if there are some steps missing from this how to i found for making scripts to mount and umount iso? http://www.ubuntugeek.com/mount-isos-easely-in-gnome-nautilus.html | 00:32 |
| _xyz | Amaranth: i need to recompile the kernel to get my my X-Fi sound card drivers to work, but one of the pre-compile screens looks different than the one in this guide: http://intranet.etin.nl/images/alsa2.gif | 00:32 |
| Guest6824 | nenuit | 00:32 |
| dssuncin | I was trying to install libdvdcss online and man I don | 00:32 |
| resskin | Amaranth I'm basing that on trial - (specifically an old compaq) | 00:32 |
| Amerikaner | but theres really no need to get a DVD iso? | 00:32 |
| m0rpheus | amenado, excepting the sharing of the internet connection | 00:32 |
| dssuncin | know what the hell I am doing | 00:32 |
| m0rpheus | the bridge | 00:32 |
| moDumass | hey all, quite possibly a big problem but hopefully i can just delete this key, i created an encryption key, and cant remember the password, now i have nothing that is encrypted yet, but how do i delete the key? | 00:32 |
| superfirelord42 | llama_: normally, a compile is hte best route for an app like this... this time however, the compile is lacking some important files... | 00:33 |
| _xyz | Amerikaner: it offers a little more convenience in that you'll have to download fewer updates, other than that, no | 00:33 |
| glitsj16 | dssuncin: might be a spelling error there, double-check with the correct entree for medibuntu repo on that page | 00:33 |
| Amaranth | resskin: I haven't built my own kernel since Ubuntu came out, I don't really remember any of that, sorry. | 00:33 |
| resskin | Amerikaner not unless you're very unlucky no | 00:33 |
| moDumass | also does that make sense to anyone | 00:33 |
| ethereality | dinner -- bbl | 00:33 |
| amenado | Amaranth-> you can burn the same cd iso to dvd? you possibly can burn it, but i doubt it if you can boot the same.. eltorito is only for cdrom and not for dvd rom (but i stand corrected if am wrong) | 00:33 |
| m0rpheus | amenado, i've seen some tutorial about that, before, but the situation was not really the same, and all of them was talkin about "route add" cmd | 00:33 |
| kcman | anyone see my scripting issue? | 00:33 |
| Amerikaner | alrighty, thx guys | 00:33 |
| dssuncin | hmmm ok hang on gonna see what I can do | 00:33 |
| vita | Hey what is the differnce between the nvidia-glx-new and teh nvidia-glx-new-envy drivers? | 00:33 |
| holmser | any ideas on how to mount her memory stick? | 00:33 |
| ggD | hello~ i want to know how many GNU project's software in my Linux. | 00:34 |
| amenado | m0rpheus-> then you have to understand what route are you adding and to which router or host are you adding it to. | 00:34 |
| Amaranth | amenado: I've done it, works fine. | 00:34 |
| superfirelord42 | llama_: i wonder, dpkg -i thefileyouhadearlier.deb | 00:34 |
| llama_ | holmser, what exactly is the problem? any stuff you can offer to help people as far as diagnostics? is it just not being found, or being misidentified, etc? any interesting dmesg output? | 00:34 |
| m0rpheus | amenado, to route intertnet traffic into eth0->ppp0, not eth0 only | 00:34 |
| ggD | anyone know how to? | 00:34 |
| ubilicios | Hi guys having a heck of a time with an install. I am getting emask errors and not sure why. I have tried a different CD player and 2 different CD Roms | 00:34 |
| shwan | vita: envy is a driver manager i guess | 00:34 |
| === holmser is now known as holmser171 | ||
| m0rpheus | amenado, yep, that's why I m here :p | 00:35 |
| vita | shwan: are they better drivers | 00:35 |
| amenado | m0rpheus-> there are more things to it, not just a mere add of a route to a table, you ever wonder how it can distinguish where the packets should land or handed off to? | 00:35 |
| dssuncin | glits same error Type '“deb' is not known on line 41 in source list /etc/apt/sources.list | 00:35 |
| LordMetroid | Could I get a new Ubuntu repository, maybe I can upgrade then... | 00:35 |
| shwan | vita: that one can be managed from inside of envy, better dont ehink so , ubuntu have a driver manager so use that , it will upgrade better i think | 00:36 |
| llama_ | nope, segmentation fault superfirelord42 | 00:36 |
| SourcePower | Hi! | 00:36 |
| amenado | m0rpheus-> you are here, but this is for linux and not for #windows..i dont know what windows uses for route policy | 00:36 |
| dssuncin | followed the instructions on the link same error | 00:36 |
| unop | ggD, why do you want to know that? almost all software on an out-of-the-box install is released under a GNU GPL compatible license | 00:36 |
| kcman | can anyone help me i am trying to do the steps on this page http://www.ubuntugeek.com/mount-isos-easely-in-gnome-nautilus.html and i cant seem to get the chmod to work any thoughts? | 00:36 |
| SourcePower | How do I know if I using 32 or 66 bits ubuntu ? | 00:36 |
| SourcePower | 64 I meen | 00:36 |
| glitsj16 | dssuncin: can you put your sources.list up at paste.ubuntu.com or a pasteservice you use please, hard to tell what exactly went wrong there | 00:36 |
| kcman | !chomd | 00:36 |
| ubottu | Sorry, I don't know anything about chomd | 00:36 |
| definitely | is there any way to replace NAUTILUS WITH KONQUEROR ? | 00:36 |
| cpk1 | SourcePower: either you downloaded the 32 bit iso or the 64bit iso | 00:36 |
| kcman | !-/ | 00:37 |
| dssuncin | glits I tried to install automatix earlier and followed some commands online and now getting this error | 00:37 |
| amenado | m0rpheus-> i hope you are understanding what i just described..route policy and such.. | 00:37 |
| resskin | definitely there must be I replaced it with Thunar | 00:37 |
| resskin | I found a howto | 00:37 |
| shwan | SourcePower: try uname --help , or just look in you /boot directory you should see | 00:37 |
| resskin | Hang on I'll look | 00:37 |
| m0rpheus | amenado, if i follow U, route policy, on linux station is useless, if the server side is window ? that's it ? | 00:38 |
| dssuncin | how can I put my sources list up? | 00:38 |
| definitely | resskin: Ok | 00:38 |
| ggD | <unop>,yeah, but licensed under GPL mean it is GNU's software? | 00:38 |
| superfirelord42 | llama_: i am out of ideas, i just dont know how to make it work at this point... maybe someone else can step in and give you a hand... maybe someone who knows hte rest of the libraries possibly | 00:39 |
| amenado | m0rpheus-> correct, route policy on linux applies only on linux routers and host, your windows side server has its own way of routing/handling/forwarding/filtering packets | 00:39 |
| Amerikaner | why doesnt the offical ubuntu page have a dvd iso image download? | 00:39 |
| glitsj16 | dssuncin: never touched automatix .. go to paste.ubuntu.com , copy your /etc/apt/sources.list.d/medibuntu.list into that and give us the link so we can take a look at it | 00:39 |
| llama_ | superfirelord42, thanks for all your help anyways. Sorry it didn't work. | 00:39 |
| superfirelord42 | llama_: i recommend you go ahead and ask your question for help again... if you apsolutly cannot get it to work.. | 00:39 |
| superfirelord42 | llama_: you may be able to get the windows version to work on wine | 00:40 |
| _xyz | Anyone know my kernel pre-compile configuration screen doesn't have all the options pertaining to ALSA? | 00:40 |
| unop | ggD, licensed under the GPL means it can contribute to the GNU system - and GNU (or GNU/Linux) is technically what you use, not linux | 00:40 |
| llama_ | superfirelord42, what exactly should I be asking? There's a KDE version it is based off of, maybe I can just run that... | 00:40 |
| shwan | Amerikaner: why should be any there ? you can just burn cd iso into dvd | 00:40 |
| superfirelord42 | llama_: you can try that | 00:40 |
| superfirelord42 | llama_: it will pull down some kde libraries... | 00:40 |
| llama_ | superfirelord42, what exactly am I running in to though? | 00:40 |
| resskin | definitely you could look at this http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?p=5321425 | 00:40 |
| stage3 | kcman, what is your problem? | 00:40 |
| FarmCretin | im trying to make write a simple bash script to automate converting MKV file to xbox360 compatible MP4s and ive got it except for 1 thing: i need a hexeditor with CLI options. all the video file need the same address changed to 29. hexedit, as far as i know, doesnt do this. any ideas? | 00:40 |
| Amerikaner | yeah but the dvd image has all the packages and i dont have any blank cd's so why not put the blank dvd to more use? | 00:40 |
| m0rpheus | amenado, so I can't use any windows box as a gateway ? | 00:41 |
| gordonjcp | llama_: What exactly are you trying to do? | 00:41 |
| definitely | Thnx resskin alot , i hope it works | 00:41 |
| definitely | :) | 00:41 |
| amenado | m0rpheus-> you can, but ask the #windows people please, this is ubuntu not windows | 00:41 |
| m0rpheus | lol | 00:41 |
| _xyz | Anyone know why my kernel pre-compile configuration screen doesn't have all the options pertaining to ALSA? | 00:41 |
| superfirelord42 | llama_: you have run into an application whos binaries are old and segfault, and when compiling, you run into misisng include files | 00:41 |
| sysop1972 | Anybody here know samba quite well? | 00:41 |

| Odd-rationale | asmcoded: glad to hear.! | 00:42 |
| shwan | sysop1972: why ? | 00:42 |
| Amerikaner | so no official dvd iso image download link? | 00:42 |
| gordonjcp | superfirelord42: ah ok | 00:42 |
| resskin | definitely I hope so I couldn't find the script I used, but in any case it was only for Thunar | 00:42 |
| asmcoded | i use to use slackware 7.0 i was really into linux long ago today i felt in the mode for something new Odd-rationale is this like the best distribution? | 00:42 |
| m0rpheus | amenado, okay let's pay 4$ hotline call | 00:42 |
| dssuncin | glits new to the linux commands give it to me step by step | 00:42 |
| superfirelord42 | gordonjcp: basicly the problem is, the package is for gusty | 00:42 |
| gordonjcp | llama_: it's not qpitch but I've had reasonable results from fmit | 00:43 |
| superfirelord42 | gordonjcp: and is segfauling | 00:43 |
| ggD | <unop>, understand, i am thinking how to call my system, and maybe i have to call it GNU/Linux | 00:43 |
| m0rpheus | thanks, i will search out there :) | 00:43 |
| gordonjcp | superfirelord42: probably worth taking it to #lad | 00:43 |
| m0rpheus | lol | 00:43 |
| amenado | m0rpheus-> good luck | 00:43 |
| Odd-rationale | asmcoded: "best" is subjective. ubuntu id quite good. it is what i started on... | 00:43 |

| gordonjcp | amenado: glad to hear you're enjoying yourself | 00:44 |
| gordonjcp | asmcoded: Linux has had a GUI for a long time | 00:44 |
| iowaboy | how would I get a .deb file of vlc? I need to install vlc on a computer that doesn't have a network card | 00:44 |
| Amerikaner | _xyz, ur the man now dawg, thanks | 00:44 |
| gordonjcp | amenado: sorry, mis-tab | 00:44 |
| amenado | gordonjcp-> i am too, a cup of latte is good :P | 00:44 |
| _xyz | np | 00:44 |
| asmcoded | yes but back when i used it x11 it was very horrible so it was all text i guess the standard now is this graphical stuff right? | 00:45 |
| llama_ | gordonjcp, that app looks perfect, thanks. | 00:45 |

| justs0me | anyone try SELinux for ubuntu ? | 00:45 |
| justs0me | any problems ifso | 00:45 |
| unop | ggD, technically it would be wrong to call it linux as linux is just the kernel, one component in a bigger system -- the right term is GNU but GNU can use many other kernels such as freeBSD, opensolaris, hurd, even the win32 kernel - so if you use GNU with a linux kernel, you call it GNU/Linux (or GNU with Linux) | 00:45 |
| resskin | iowaboy I think it's on the Videolan site isn't it? | 00:45 |
| gizmo | anyone know any workarounds for an ATI radeon mobility 7500C other than generic "try flgrx" etc?? Dell & Tower work fine - VAIO not | 00:45 |
| glitsj16 | dssuncin: ok no problem .. open mousepad, open the file /etc/apt/sources.list.d/medibuntu.list, select all and copy the content into your clipboard, navigate to paste.ubuntu.com and paste it into the box .. hit the 'paste' button and provide the link you get in your browser's urlbar here | 00:45 |
| gordonjcp | amenado: I would but I'm off to bed and it would keep me awake | 00:46 |
| iowaboy | resskin, yeah, i just found it. Now I feel silly | 00:46 |
| amenado | gordonjcp have a good evening to you..its only nearly 5PM my time.. | 00:46 |
| dssuncin | wheres mousepad at under applications? | 00:46 |
| _xyz | Anyone know why my kernel pre-compile configuration screen doesn't have all the options pertaining to ALSA unlike this screenshot: http://intranet.etin.nl/images/alsa2.gif ? | 00:46 |

| kcman | is there an update for hardy to make your firefox 3.0? | 00:47 |
| Odd-rationale | asmcoded: most distro come with a gui. you can still find minimalist-type ones though... | 00:47 |
| dssuncin | I must be blind I dont see it | 00:48 |
| amenado | _xyz-> you can get the configs of the running kernel if you edit the /boot/config-generic ? | 00:48 |
| gizmo | socialevil: look into gparted - i think will do it without wiping...careful tho.. | 00:48 |
| psicobra | hi all any one know how to make a module auto load on startup? | 00:48 |
| dssuncin | glits have kubuntu whereabouts is it at | 00:48 |
| Odd-rationale | psicobra: /etc/modprobe.conf | 00:49 |
| kcman | is there a good site and or page to show me how to write damons? i think that is what they are called... | 00:49 |
| resskin | Odd-rationale in fact the netinstall Debian CD has the option of whether to install a Desktop or not | 00:49 |
| sysop1972 | shwan : Think you can help? | 00:49 |
| shwan | you can do int if you share them usin nautilus , if you want to edit /etc/samba/smb.conf you should have this line in global or each share writeable = yes and I do have create mask = 0771 too. | 00:49 |
| meg1 | psicobra: system > preferences > sessions | 00:49 |
| psicobra | Odd-rationale, thanks i want it to auto load ssb so what do i type? | 00:49 |
| amenado | socialevil-> save a copy of the files for your /home before repartitioning | 00:49 |
| resskin | Odd-rationale course some would say Debian is minimalist :) | 00:49 |
| ggD | <unop>,yeah, i understand this before, i just don't understand the diff between software released under GNU-(L)GPL AND GNU project's software | 00:49 |
| Odd-rationale | psicobra: add ssb to the list on it's own line... | 00:49 |
| socialevil | thanks | 00:50 |
| Odd-rationale | resskin: well, so does the alt. cd of ubuntu ;) | 00:50 |
| glitsj16 | dssuncin: no idea really in kubuntu, you can use any editor you are used to though | 00:50 |
| amenado | kcman-> you have to google for c programming and daemon | 00:50 |
| meg1 | can anyone point me to an easy solution to the nVidia "black windows" bug? | 00:50 |
| gizmo | socialevil: "resize" is what you want | 00:50 |
| kcman | amenado and that will tell me how to write like little macros for my start up? | 00:50 |
| sysop1972 | shwan : I do not want certain users to have access to certain shared folders though. | 00:50 |
| socialevil | yes | 00:50 |
| amenado | kcman-> macros is not a daemon..startup? you meant scripts during startup? | 00:51 |
| kcman | amenado yeah | 00:51 |
| dssuncin | name me a editor glits and I'll use alt f2 | 00:51 |
| resskin | Odd-rationale I did go Desk-topless for a while but I got a bit fed up with it | 00:51 |
| resskin | Obviously not old skool enough | 00:51 |
| amenado | kcman then look for a tutorial on scripts | 00:51 |
| glitsj16 | dssuncin: don't know if you will have gedit, but try that | 00:51 |
| dssuncin | gedit let me check | 00:52 |
| Odd-rationale | psicobra: i'm sorry. i was wrong. it is /etc/modules | 00:52 |
| gizmo | socialevil: yeah - resize-move button - but still backup criticals - i think I have had luck resizing NTFS partitions with it too - just don't move the partition... | 00:52 |
| Odd-rationale | psicobra: pleas undo everything you did to /etc/modprobe.conf ... sorry my bad... :( | 00:52 |

| superfirelord42 | luisjbb: what does it do? | 01:00 |
| glitsj16 | dssuncin: any luck yet ? | 01:01 |
| Sonderblade | is it just me, or has apt-get got much slower in the last six months or so? | 01:01 |
| linxeh | chriswr: ubuntu installs gdm by default, and sets it to run | 01:01 |
| linxeh | Sonderblade: maybe your isp got worse | 01:01 |
| linxeh | Sonderblade: or maybe you need to use a different mirror | 01:01 |
| upd | hi, im looking for mysql vulnerability scanner but i didn't found nothing can someone help me ? | 01:01 |
| superfirelord42 | luisjbb: i see cyborg as in controllers, and all sorts of stuff... | 01:01 |

| chriswr | linxeh: were would i put the files that i download from gnome-look.org then? | 01:02 |
| linxeh | chriswr: oh, you mean you are trying to change the greeter theme ? | 01:02 |

| poon | hrm | 01:03 |
| poon | :/ | 01:03 |
| chriswr | linxeh: i guess , im trying to make it look different , if thats what you mean by greater theme | 01:03 |
| yanger | oooh.. found it.. /etc/apt/apt.conf was the answer | 01:03 |

| AzMoo | Hey guys, I'm trying to install apache2-prefork-dev but it's telling me it has unmet dependencies. I followed the chain down and it tells me that it's trying to install the wrong version of libldap. What can I do about that? | 01:04 |
| glitsj16 | yanger: don't know the exact file location, but open synaptic's preferences and check the network tab to change proxy settings will have the same effect | 01:04 |
| meg1 | I just disabled the proprietary driver that Hardy auto-installed with the Hardware Drivers menu... | 01:04 |
| linxeh | chriswr: yes thats what the greeter themes are (your question made it sound like you were trying to install gdm, not a theme) | 01:04 |
| * Lamentit is ignored. Oh well. | 01:04 | |

| HELPMEPLZ | but it is not on the list | 01:19 |
| zoreau | unop: -2 doesnt seem to work, it doesnt look like a valid parameter (-s) | 01:19 |
| Odd-rationale | nick123: can you pastebin you xorg.conf file? | 01:19 |
| ASULutzy | HELPMEPLZ: yea, ndisgtk is a graphical front end for ndiswrapper, you can install it by typing sudo apt-get install ndisgtk into a command prompt | 01:19 |
| lap | hi | 01:19 |
| lap | i got a question | 01:19 |
| ASULutzy | !ask | lap | 01:19 |
| ubottu | lap: Please don't ask to ask a question, ask the question (all on ONE line, so others can read and follow it easily). If anyone knows the answer they will most likely answer. :-) | 01:19 |

| m0rpheus | amenado, you just wana say "go to #windows" lol | 01:22 |

| m0rpheus | doper, oui | 01:22 |
| zoreau | unop: it returned "data" XD not ery informative | 01:22 |
| zoreau | yeah I think I will try usin daemontools thru wine | 01:23 |

| Odd-rationale | noah: some repos don't provide the authentification... but if you are using the standard repos, sudo apt-get update should work... | 01:25 |

| HELPMEPLZ | sorry im a real noob | 01:25 |
| unop | m0rpheus, you are going offtopic there | 01:26 |
| unop | noah, try reinstalling the ubuntu-keyring package. sudo aptitude reinstall ubuntu-keyring | 01:26 |
| zoreau | HELPMEPLZ: you could manually download the ndisgtk package, ust make sure you have the one for your version of ubuntu (gutsy, hardy, etc) | 01:26 |
| unop | zoreau, so where did you get this file from? | 01:27 |
| HELPMEPLZ | o ok, why would it not come with the installation | 01:27 |
| Odd-rationale | HELPMEPLZ: try System --> Administration --> Software Sources. and enbale all the repos you need... (you may not need packports or unsupported.) | 01:27 |

But I have been trying for so long that I have run out of ideas on how to fix it, and as a gamer that is the one thing that can keep me using windows wich I really dont wanna do :P | 01:31 |

| shandog | any chicks here | 01:31 |
| unop | zoreau, did you try mounting with the -t iso9660 option? | 01:31 |
| amenado | m0rpheus-> you want windows then go there | 01:31 |
| zoreau | unop: before or after conerting to iso? | 01:32 |
| m0rpheus | amenado, a couple of line in my routing table, and it was ok | 01:32 |
| unop | zoreau, before -- and not relating to converting the iso | 01:32 |
| unop | zoreau, sudo mount -t iso9660 file.bin /path/to/mountpoint | 01:32 |

| m0rpheus | amenado, route del current default gw + route add -host <server_extern_ip> gw <my_local_gw> + route add default gw <server_local_ip> | 01:35 |
| Flannel | superfirelord42: /usr/lib/cgi-bin/ by default. You set it in the config for your virtual hosts | 01:35 |
| superfirelord42 | Flannel: Starnestommy thanks | 01:35 |
| unop | superfirelord42, but simply installing apache does not necessarily create that directory, and cgi-bin could be at another location - check your site's config file | 01:35 |
| Rosen | Flannel: yeah but its on a labtop so its hard for me to find a driver that works, since the gfxcard is non-ati and non-nvidia (atleast non of the drivers work) | 01:35 |
| zoreau | stupid msttcorefonts /rage | 01:35 |
| chriswr | odd-rationale: what did you say the folder was to put it in | 01:35 |
| unop | zoreau, hmm, not sure then, the file could be damaged/corrupted -- but try converting it to an ISO | 01:36 |
| m0rpheus | amenado, juste says it when you don't know, don't let people pay for you ego trip | 01:36 |
| Odd-rationale | chriswr: just go to the local tab, and select add | 01:36 |
| amenado | m0rpheus-> and which routing table was that? <-- you have not answered this | 01:36 |
| zoreau | yep about to do that | 01:36 |
| m0rpheus | I have | 01:36 |
| unop | m0rpheus, amenado, please take this to #ubuntu-offtopic | 01:36 |
| amenado | m0rpheus-> which routing table? you have a windows server, an ubuntu host, what else? | 01:36 |
| chriswr | k , i did that , and checked it , now when i restart it should show it? | 01:36 |
| Odd-rationale | chriswr: btw, you can use tab to autocomplete nicks... e.g. odd-<tab> | 01:37 |
| Odd-rationale | chriswr: yes, when yo log out.. | 01:37 |
| amenado | unop there are just some jerks that do know how to answer a simple question and likes to blame people who are trying to help them :) | 01:37 |
| m0rpheus | amenado, diff interface, different gw, different ip, you just have to link in the well order | 01:37 |
| chriswr | odd-rationale: whats autocomplete nicks? | 01:37 |
| Menz4xz | Hey, I want to download all .doc files from a website.. I don't actually see the links, but want to just rip all files within that subfolder that has the extension .doc, is this possible? For instance. www.site.com/files/paper.doc .. I tried wget www.site.com/files/*.doc and that does not work.. | 01:38 |
| Odd-rationale | chriswr: try it. just in your irc client, type the first few letters of the a nick then press tab | 01:38 |
| Flannel | Rosen: You should upgrade to something newer. Try Hardy or Dapper | 01:38 |
| Odd-rationale | Menz4xz: the is a DownloadThemAll plugin for FireFox | 01:38 |
| chriswr | Odd-rationale: ooooh ok , that helps a lot | 01:39 |
| chriswr | Odd-rationale: lol | 01:39 |
| Odd-rationale | chriswr: yeah, especially with nicks like mine... ;) | 01:39 |

| Veg1 | Hello. I need help setting my monitor resolution to 1280x1024, can anyone tell me how to do this? | 01:39 |
| zoreau | unop: Thanks for the help, I got it! converted to an iso, then used -o loop | 01:39 |
| unop | zoreau, cool | 01:40 |
| Odd-rationale | Veg1: what resolution do you have now? | 01:40 |
| Veg1 | 800x600 | 01:40 |
| Veg1 | I am certain my monitor and graphics card both support 1280x1024. | 01:40 |
| Rosen | Flannel: hehe it was upgraded to dapper, I just didnt realize it because my room-mate did it ... doh | 01:40 |
| Scunizi | Veg1: have you enabled the restricted drivers yet? | 01:40 |
| Odd-rationale | Veg1: what video drivers are you using? | 01:40 |
| Veg1 | I do not know how to enable restricted drivers. | 01:40 |
| Odd-rationale | Veg1: System --> admin --> restricted drivers | 01:41 |
| fwaokda | anyone ever get a external hdd to work with winxp in qemu? is there some parameter I have to include in the boot cmd line? | 01:41 |
| m0rpheus | amenado, gn in your own #dummy-in-routes chan :) | 01:41 |
| Flannel | Rosen: Well, that's better. You should try upgrading to Hardy. One nice thing is that you can go straight from Dapper to Hardy with a single upgrade (hooray for LTS) | 01:41 |
| amenado | unop can you kick m0rpheus please, he is harrasing folks here | 01:41 |
| Menz4xz | Odd-rationale: will that work in my case? | 01:41 |
| Odd-rationale | Menz4xz: what is your case? | 01:42 |
| frappe79 | Hi all, Can anybody please assist me in setting up my PCMCIA D-link wireless card? | 01:42 |
| Veg1 | So System -> Admin -> Hardware Drivers, and then install the drivers shown there?\ | 01:42 |
| Odd-rationale | Veg1: yes, the reboot when prompted. | 01:42 |
| Veg1 | When I attempt to install that file, it gives me a 404 error. | 01:42 |
| Veg1 | I'm using an nVidia graphics card, by the way. | 01:43 |
| Rosen | Flannel: yeah its very easy :) will do it now... shouldnt take long with my new 24Mb cable <3 | 01:43 |
| Odd-rationale | Veg1: is that machine connected to the net? | 01:43 |

| Zikey | Hi, anyone using ubuntu with ICH10R raid 1 ? (i got 2 drives raid 1 and ubuntu sees them both instead of only 1) | 01:44 |
| Odd-rationale | HELPMEPLZ: download the .deb file. then double-click it to install in ubuntu... | 01:45 |
| amenado | HELPMEPLZ-> it is a .deb file? | 01:45 |
| Bubalooshi | Im back, I need help with my rwsolution | 01:45 |
| HELPMEPLZ | yes it is a DEB file, i just dont know know how to find it in the explorer | 01:45 |
| HELPMEPLZ | it's on my desktop in windows | 01:45 |
| Odd-rationale | Veg1: so you can not install the nvidia drivers? | 01:45 |
| wingsit | hi | 01:45 |
| Veg1 | That is correct. | 01:45 |
| lavalaba | hi people | 01:45 |
| wingsit | i have trouble installing ubuntu | 01:45 |
| wingsit | can anyone help | 01:46 |
| MatthewV | HELPMEPLZ, your windows files are usually accessable if you look in Places --> Computer (the desktop is in a different place depending on the version of windows) | 01:46 |
| Bubalooshi | I ran xrandr and I get minimum 480x600 and max 800x600 | 01:46 |
| Odd-rationale | Veg1: what type of nvdia card? | 01:46 |
| LabThug | anyone know whether the 64-bit kernel will run on a 32-bit machine? | 01:46 |
| HELPMEPLZ | it's vista, but i will look | 01:46 |
| Veg1 | It's a geforce 7950 | 01:46 |
| glitsj16 | LabThug: no | 01:46 |
| Bubalooshi | How do I get 1280x1024? | 01:46 |
| MatthewV | wingsit, just ask the specific question or problem that you have and someone might be able to help you :) | 01:46 |
| lavalaba | i wanna ask u somethin ! i have a dvd player in my car with all function tft monitor and kinda things i would like to try to put in linux ubuntu u guys think i can install it there or i need some special thing for it ? | 01:46 |
| mouseclone_ | hello everyone | 01:46 |
| MatthewV | Bubalooshi, does !resolution help at all? | 01:46 |
| LabThug | glitsj16, so, therefore if it runs on a machine, that machine is 64-bit, right? | 01:47 |
| mouseclone_ | anyone mind checking to see if godaddy.com is down or if it is just me | 01:47 |
| wingsit | i am trying to install ubuntu. I get all the installation done but cannot get into X. I am using nvidia 9800 | 01:47 |
| MatthewV | lavalaba, you want to install linux on your DVD player, if I understand you right? | 01:47 |
| LabThug | mouseclone_, it's loading for me | 01:47 |
| LabThug | slow, but loading | 01:47 |
| frappe79 | Hi all, Can anybody please assist me in setting up my PCMCIA D-link wireless card? | 01:47 |
| glitsj16 | LabThug: yes | 01:47 |
| Odd-rationale | Veg1: try apt-geting the appropriate nvidia-glx package. if it is a rather new card, get nvidia-glx-new | 01:48 |
| LabThug | frappe79, I don't have the PCMCIA version, but they work fine once you install madwifi | 01:48 |
| lavalaba | matthew thats right but as i said dvd player has everything dvbt receiver blutooth function navi tuner dvd player dual zone ipod settings sm vard reader | 01:48 |
| wingsit | i dont have internat on that machine | 01:48 |
| Veg1 | And how do I find the appropriate package? | 01:48 |
| lavalaba | u think its can function | 01:48 |
| bkid | Can someone help with gob2 and/or .gob files? | 01:48 |
| mattgman | is there a command that i can type in the alt+f2 window to show my desktop? such as, i play Eve Online full screen and cannot minimize it | 01:48 |
| MatthewV | lavalaba, what does it run at the moment? a lot of those multi function things run windows ce iirc..? | 01:48 |
| HELPMEPLZ | Q: i have found my other windows files, but where can i find items on the desktop? | 01:49 |
| Odd-rationale | Veg1: it is a recent card get -new, if old, get -legacy... | 01:49 |
| mouseclone_ | wingsit: use wget http://us.download.nvidia.com/XFree86/Linux-x86/177.13/NVIDIA-Linux-x86-177.13-pkg1.run | 01:49 |
| lavalaba | i dont know what he run at the moment i m just listenin music and lookin movie with it | 01:49 |
| mouseclone_ | wingsit: that is the driver from nvidia | 01:49 |
| bonhoffer | anyone know how i can change my default text-editor in ubuntu | 01:49 |
| Odd-rationale | Veg1: actually, just try "sudo apt-get install nvidia-glx" | 01:49 |
| Veg1 | Okay. | 01:50 |
| MatthewV | mattgman, you can usually set up a keyboard shortcut to show desktop (try checking !ccsm) | 01:50 |
| lavalaba | bonhoffer just on desktop right click | 01:50 |
| wingsit | k i will give it a try | 01:50 |
| lavalaba | settings thats all | 01:50 |
| mattgman | thanks matthewv | 01:50 |
| bonhoffer | lavalaba, only have command shell (server) | 01:50 |
| mouseclone_ | bonhoffer: perfered applications? | 01:50 |
| MatthewV | lavalaba, well if it's running windows ce, you might be able to google putting linux on those sort of devices, otherwise, i have no idea | 01:50 |
| bonhoffer | emacs | 01:50 |
| bonhoffer | not vi or whatever it is now | 01:50 |
| Veg1 | It gives the following error: | 01:51 |
| Veg1 | E: Unable to lock the administration directory (/var/lib/dpkg/), is another process using it? | 01:51 |
| lavalaba | matthew thanks | 01:51 |
| bonhoffer | nano maybe? | 01:51 |
| Veg1 | Actually now that I notice, my hardware drivers window has locked up | 01:51 |
| Flannel | bonhoffer: nano should be default | 01:51 |
| Odd-rationale | Veg1: make sure you close all other apt process (synpatics, hardware drivers amnager, etc) | 01:51 |
| Veg1 | And it won't let me close it =( | 01:51 |
| Veg1 | Maybe I should reboot | 01:51 |
| mouseclone_ | bonhoffer: you can also - right click -> Properties -> Open with(tab) | 01:51 |
| bonhoffer | mouseclone_, i don't have gnome | 01:51 |
| mouseclone_ | oh | 01:51 |
| bonhoffer | command shell | 01:51 |
| bonhoffer | emacs preferred | 01:52 |
| bonhoffer | so when i type something like crontab -e it opens emacs | 01:52 |
| mouseclone_ | i just use vi... and alway just do vi file | 01:52 |
| wingsit | mouseclone_ i dont wired network setup on that machine | 01:52 |
| Flannel | bonhoffer: You want to change it to emacs? install emacs, then update-alternatives, then export EDITOR=emacs in .bashrc | 01:52 |
| bkid | Q: can anyone help with gob2 or gob files? | 01:52 |
| HELPMEPLZ | Q: does anyone know how to access files on the windows desktop (vista) from the explorer? i have found the other windows files/folders.. | 01:52 |
| bonhoffer | Flannel, thanks! | 01:52 |
| bonhoffer | so modify .bashrc | 01:52 |
| lavalaba | how can i see my xp on ubuntu? | 01:52 |
| mouseclone_ | wingsit: are you using nv or nvidia in your xorg.conf? | 01:53 |
| lavalaba | or let me ask u like that how can i work with my xp system on my ubuntu? | 01:53 |
| Shujah | lavalaba, dude you meanxp on other pc or the one in dual boot? | 01:53 |
| lavalaba | dual boot | 01:53 |
| wingsit | let me check | 01:53 |
| Flannel | bonhoffer: the update-alternatives probably isn't necessary. But that'll change sensible-editor, and then the editor export will change "edit" which is what gets called by crontab, visudo, etc. | 01:54 |
| HELPMEPLZ | anyone? anyone know how to open a file saved to the windows desktop in ubuntu? | 01:54 |
| Shujah | lavalaba, C:\ can be accessed by default if you wanna access the partition. | 01:54 |
| Odd-rationale | lavalaba: just mount the windows partition, you should find it in places --> computer | 01:54 |
| lavalaba | ok thanks people | 01:54 |
| mouseclone_ | helpmeplz: you need to mount the ntfs partition | 01:54 |
| Flannel | bonhoffer: yeah. Just scroll down to the end and add "export EDITOR=emacs" or even just echo "export EDITOR=emacs" >> ~/.bashrc | 01:54 |
| Veg1 | Okay, what was that command again? sudo apt-get install nvidia-what? | 01:54 |
| Odd-rationale | nvidia-gls | 01:54 |
| Odd-rationale | glx | 01:54 |
| Veg1 | glx, okay =) | 01:55 |
| bonhoffer | Flannel, great! | 01:55 |
| Veg1 | Again, it gives a 404. | 01:55 |
| bonhoffer | when i try to save from cron -e -- nano wants to save the file as /tmp/crontab.T6iqyN/crontab | 01:55 |
| bonhoffer | what is up with that? | 01:55 |
| bonhoffer | just seems wrong to me | 01:55 |
| elik | Hi, I am a Debian Lenny user and recently switched over to Ubuntu (Kubuntu actually) Hardy Heron. I am a little disappointed to see that the version of some programs I used is more outdated that on Debian, and I am considering upgrading to Ubuntu I... I... How stable is it compared to Lenny? | 01:56 |
| wingsit | mouseclone_ I dont see anything under /etc/X11 | 01:56 |
| mattgman | found it! CTRL+ALT+D hides everything so you can see your desktop. SHAWEETNESS! | 01:56 |
| Odd-rationale | Veg1: hmm. do "sudo apt-get update" | 01:56 |
| mouseclone_ | helpmeplz: mount -t nfs /dev/device /folder/where/you/want/it/mounted | 01:57 |
| bonhoffer | it just seems that /tmp/crontab.T6iqyN/crontab | 01:57 |
| bonhoffer | is a crappy name for my crontab | 01:57 |
| Flannel | bonhoffer: `sudo update-alternatives --config editor` is the command to change "editor". I misspoke when I said sensible-editor uses alternatives, it actually uses EDITOR like edit | 01:57 |
| Veg1 | Okay, that's installing a bunch of packages. | 01:57 |
| ace_suares | hi there, anyone I know here? I want to test something in private. | 01:57 |
| mouseclone_ | wingsil: you do not have a /etc/X11/xorg.conf? | 01:57 |
| unop | elik, it's not fair comparing a debian unstable (and prerelease) version to a ubuntu stable version - and lenny is not stable | 01:57 |
| HELPMEPLZ | mouseclone: how do i mount the NTFS partition? | 01:57 |
| Odd-rationale | Veg1: no, it is updating your package list... | 01:57 |
| wingsit | mouseclone_ no... but i have a mess on my computer new. net me check further | 01:57 |
| elik | unop, I know, I wanted to compare Ubuntu unstable to Debian unstable | 01:57 |
| Veg1 | Oh I see. Anyway, it is done now, so now what? | 01:57 |
| unop | elik, but hardy (assuming that is what you are running now) is quite relatively stable | 01:57 |
| elik | unop, testing actually | 01:58 |
| mattgman | HELPMEPLZ: do an add-remove and find the NTFS Configuration Tool | 01:58 |
| Odd-rationale | Veg1: sudo apt-get install nvidia-glx | 01:58 |
| mouseclone_ | wingsil: do - sudo updatedb | 01:58 |
| Veg1 | Okay. | 01:58 |
| elik | unop, isn't hardy released? | 01:58 |
| mouseclone_ | wingsil: then do - locate xorg.conf | 01:58 |
| Flannel | elik: Intrepid isn't the same as "unstable" either. They can answer more questions re intrepid in #ubuntu+1 though. | 01:58 |
| unop | elik, it is | 01:58 |
| wingsit | mouseclone_ i dont have network access | 01:58 |
| Veg1 | And now its working =) | 01:58 |
| HELPMEPLZ | will this allow to me open files i have saved under windows? | 01:58 |
| Odd-rationale | Veg1: good. | 01:58 |
| Veg1 | There's no way I could get by without this chat. | 01:58 |
| Veg1 | Thanks a lot =) | 01:58 |
| elik | thx Flannel | 01:59 |
| mattgman | HELPMEPLZ: where are the files saved under windows? | 01:59 |
| bonhoffer | Flannel, hmm i have emacs installed but not coming up as an alternative for my editor | 01:59 |
| Shujah | HELPMEPLZ, go to menu > places > removabale media | 01:59 |
| HELPMEPLZ | they're on the desktop | 01:59 |
| Odd-rationale | Veg1: np | 01:59 |
| mouseclone_ | wingsil: no the updatedb will index your files on the computer | 01:59 |
| wingsit | k | 01:59 |
| mouseclone_ | wingsil: and locate filename will find the files and give you the path | 01:59 |
| mattgman | HELPMEPLZ: you should be able to access them unless you made your documents private in windows | 02:00 |
| Veg1 | I'll probably be back in about 30 seconds with a new problem. | 02:00 |

| bonhoffer | bigger deal -- why does crontab -e generate /tmp/crontab.T6iqyN/crontab | 02:00 |
| bonhoffer | tmp and T6i... seems odd | 02:00 |
| HELPMEPLZ | yeah i know to open it in windows.. | 02:00 |
| mouseclone_ | helpmeplz: if you mount the drive you should be able to save back to the drive. You will need to worry about NTFS security a little.. I can't remember all of the work arounds as I don't mount my windows console any more | 02:00 |
| mattgman | HELPMEPLZ: should be in your C:/Users/My Documents/Desktop? idk what the windows path is...cause winblows and i will never use it in my life | 02:01 |
| mouseclone_ | wingsil: what is the location of the file? | 02:01 |
| wingsit | mouseclone_ i am using nv | 02:01 |
| bonhoffer | like shouldn't there be something in cron.daily -- not /tmp/crontab.T6iqyN/crontab | 02:01 |
| bonhoffer | what is looking in /tmp | 02:01 |
| mouseclone_ | wingsil: that is the basic driver for nvidia | 02:01 |

| mattgman | HELPMEPLZ: you could always go back into windows and burn them to dvd or put them...somewhere else on that drive | 02:01 |
| wingsit | mouseclone_: how do i get the latest driver | 02:02 |
| HELPMEPLZ | yeah vista blows chunks, that's why im trying set up ubuntu, but it's proving to be more difficult than originally anticipated | 02:02 |

| Shujah | HELPMEPLZ, make a fat32 partition it can be accessed by both win & nix | 02:02 |

| Johnny | i dont want to dist-upgrade | 02:06 |
| Odd-rationale | Johnny: time to upgrade :) | 02:06 |
| wingsit | the entire computer is new | 02:06 |
| Johnny | everytime i do it fucks up | 02:06 |
| HELPMEPLZ | that's a good idea, should've done that earlier | 02:06 |
| Odd-rationale | Johnny: then reinstall ... ;) | 02:06 |
| mouseclone_ | CyberCod: I don't use wireless. I'm wired though a switch to my modem | 02:06 |
| LSD|Ninja | wingsit: you can install the nVidia drivers using the hardware drivers panel in System -> Administration | 02:06 |
| Johnny | dont have hardy cd's | 02:06 |
| Pollywog | !ohmy | 02:06 |
| ubottu | Please watch your language and topic to help keep this channel family friendly. | 02:06 |
| billenium | !lamp | 02:07 |
| ubottu | LAMP is an acronym for Linux-Apache-MySQL-PHP. However, the term is often used for setups using alternative but different software, such as Perl or Python instead of PHP, and Postgres instead of MySQL. For help with setting up LAMP on Ubuntu, see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/ApacheMySQLPHP - See also the Server CD installation process (different in Edgy+) | 02:07 |
| CyberCod | mouseclone_: ok... I just heard them saying they couldn't help with it, I thought I'd offer my help | 02:07 |
| mouseclone_ | wingsil: I would attempt a reinstall, and take all defaults | 02:07 |
| Odd-rationale | Johnny: download one, or order one from shipit... | 02:07 |
| wingsit | LSD: I cannot get into X | 02:07 |
| wingsit | mouseclone_ I try installing with 5 different CD alreayd | 02:07 |
| Johnny | and i dont have my home on a different partition so i'll lose everything | 02:07 |
| mouseclone_ | CyberCod: wingsil is the one that needs help with wireless from CLI | 02:07 |
| CyberCod | oh | 02:07 |
| CyberCod | ok | 02:07 |
| CyberCod | wingsit: do you know if the wireless card is detected? | 02:07 |
| fwaokda | Can someone help me get a usb hard drive to work in QEMU? I tried in their channel but its kinda unactive :( ???? | 02:08 |
| bobertdos | Johnny: Well, it's not a huge deal to make them. If we can't convince you to get Hardy, then I guess we'll just tell you what you want to know. All you basically have to do is extract the bz2 to the /opt directory. | 02:08 |
| wingsit | I dont need wireless if I can get my X working | 02:08 |
| bonhoffer | still wondering why crontab -e generates the file /tmp/crontab.T6iqyN/crontab <-- why such a random location??? | 02:08 |
| CyberCod | wingsit: what kind of errors are you getting? | 02:08 |
| mouseclone_ | CyberCod: thanks for looking out | 02:08 |
| glitsj16 | Johnny: firefox 3 is in the gutsy back-ports repo | 02:08 |
| Johnny | k bobertdos thanks | 02:08 |
| Johnny | how do i get it glitsj16 | 02:08 |
| nickrud | bonhoffer that's only a temporary one, when you save its placed in /var/spool/cron/crontabs | 02:09 |
| * mouseclone_ wishes godaddy would load | 02:09 | |
| wingsit | mouseclone_ I have the package downloaded from NVIDIA on this computer | 02:09 |
| bobertdos | Johnny: I would of course recommend uninstalling the distro version ahead of time. | 02:09 |
| owner | i need some one to explain to me in lay mans terms how to install ubuntu using netboot or PXE | 02:09 |
| bonhoffer | nickrud, thanks | 02:09 |
| CyberCod | wingsit: you need to run envy | 02:09 |
| bonhoffer | that makes sense | 02:09 |
| glitsj16 | Johnny: open synaptic, go to settings > repositories > sofware sources and tick the gutsy-backport entree under 'updates' | 02:10 |
| CyberCod | wingsit: what is your current version? | 02:10 |
| Johnny | already have glitsj16 | 02:10 |
| wingsit | 7.10 | 02:10 |
| bonhoffer | nickrud, hmm crontab -e didn't put it there, just in /tmp/crontab.T6iqyN/crontab | 02:10 |
| CyberCod | k | 02:10 |
| wingsit | trying to d/l 8.04 but takes time | 02:10 |
| Zikey | Hi, does ubuntu work fine with AHCI or do I have to force IDE ? | 02:10 |
| mouseclone_ | wingsit: why not 8.04? | 02:10 |
| owner | Please I need some one to explain to me in lay mans terms how to install ubuntu using netboot or PXE | 02:10 |
| MTecknology | ok.... I'm kinda frustrated that that extra option in the effects tab of the appearance applet is gone..... It used to be that if you installed compizconfig-settings-manager, an extra option would show up for the custom settings you created.... | 02:11 |
| glitsj16 | Johnny: then you should be able to sudo apt-get firefox-3.0 .. doesn't that work ? | 02:11 |
| mouseclone_ | wingsit: ha.. bittorrent or http download? | 02:11 |
| MTecknology | any ideas how to get it back? | 02:11 |
| wingsit | http download | 02:11 |
| bonhoffer | nickrud, wait -- i can't find it there but crontab -l works | 02:11 |
| CyberCod | envy is an auto installer for the nvidia and ati drivers... takes the work out of it... you have connectivity? or is this why you needed the wireless? | 02:11 |
| wingsit | well it just done... | 02:11 |
| Johnny | says its already newest version glitsj16 | 02:11 |
| Johnny | but its 2 something | 02:11 |
| bonhoffer | nickrud, wait -- is there | 02:11 |
| nickrud | bonhoffer try saving it. and that dir is root read onllllllly | 02:11 |
| Johnny | i'll try it through synaptic | 02:11 |
| Sergeant_Pony | how can I free up some space in ubuntu? it's using almost the whole hd (22gig) | 02:11 |
| bonhoffer | in a file named root | 02:11 |
| bonhoffer | nickrud, any way to test it | 02:11 |
| mouseclone_ | wingsit: did you say that 8.04 just finished? | 02:11 |
| nickrud | sudo crontab -e would do that I think | 02:11 |
| wingsit | yeah | 02:12 |
| wingsit | mouseclone_ i am burning it | 02:12 |
| owner | Any Help PPL Please | 02:12 |
| glitsj16 | Johnny: odd indeed, iguess you can visit packages.ubuntu.com and download the .deb from there | 02:12 |
| CyberCod | Sergeant_Pony: probably by getting rid of downloaded packages by cleaning out the /var/cache/apt/archives folder of all the .deb packages you've installed | 02:12 |
| mouseclone_ | wingsit: ok. I think that you will have better luck considering your hardware is newer than a year ago | 02:12 |
| wingsit | mouseclone_ I will give a try on that | 02:12 |
| nickrud | bonhoffer if you want to edit the main crontab, it's at /etc/crontab . Best way to test it is to set it to go off a minute or two after you save | 02:12 |
| wingsit | mouseclone_ thank you very much | 02:12 |
| CyberCod | wingsit: if you type in iwconfig what does it tell you? anything like wlan0? | 02:12 |
| brrrrrradical | tell me ... does anyone else's disk usage analyser say they have a 141gb hard disk when they only have an 80gb ? | 02:13 |
| nickrud | Sergeant_Pony you can run baobab , it's a nice gui showing where your space is used | 02:13 |
| wingsit | IEEE 802.11g essid:"" | 02:13 |
| Odd-rationale | brrrrrradical: do you have other disk mounted? | 02:13 |
| mouseclone_ | cybercod: iwconfig? interface wireless? and ifconfig is interface fastethernet? | 02:13 |
| brrrrrradical | theres only one lol | 02:13 |
| CyberCod | yup | 02:14 |
| Odd-rationale | brrrrrradical: no external drives, usb, etc? | 02:14 |
| bonhoffer | nickrud, thanks | 02:14 |
| wingsit | mouseclone_ early i could use wubi to install, but i cannot apt-get anything and says that nvidia-glk was corrupted | 02:14 |
| mouseclone_ | cybercod: sweet never knew that. I'm still picking up on things myself | 02:14 |
| AMDpenguin | how long will it take to resize EXT3 to 500GB from 20GB? | 02:14 |
| brrrrrradical | even if there was ... it says i have 99 gb free .. i have nothing that bih | 02:14 |
| brrrrrradical | big* | 02:14 |
| CyberCod | iwconfig will let you know if any of your network interfaces have wireless extensions | 02:14 |
| IndyGunFreak | AMDpenguin: have you ever read War and Peace? | 02:14 |
| AMDpenguin | ? | 02:14 |
| CyberCod | you can even turn on your wireless with that command if the card is supported/installed properly | 02:14 |
| IndyGunFreak | might be a good time to pick it up... | 02:14 |
| IndyGunFreak | or maybe Moby Dick | 02:15 |
| brrrrrradical | unless my 1gb flash drive transformed :O | 02:15 |
| Sergeant_Pony | nickrud: disk usage analyzer say's / is 100% | 02:15 |
| __yy__ | AMDpenguin: it depends pretty much entierly on how much data needs to be moved | 02:15 |
| HELPMEPLZ | hey wingsit | 02:15 |
| wingsit | yes | 02:15 |
| IndyGunFreak | AMDpenguin: it probably woudln't be that bad.. how much of that is free space? | 02:15 |
| mouseclone_ | cybercod: like ifconfig etho up, you would do iwconfig eth1 up, if eth1 was wireless? | 02:15 |
| AMDpenguin | 10GB expanding to the right | 02:15 |
| HELPMEPLZ | it sounds like you're having (had) the same problems i do | 02:15 |
| bonhoffer | one last thing, why doesn't tab completion work for my shell script ./myscript (i try to tab on the ./my) | 02:15 |
| wingsit | helpmeplz what was your problem exactly? | 02:16 |
| crazy6 | aw amarok won't play this mp3 | 02:16 |
| __yy__ | bonhoffer: is it executable? | 02:16 |
| HELPMEPLZ | did you find drivers for your wireless? | 02:16 |
| nickrud | Sergeant_Pony df? Yes, but baobab shows by dir, lets you identify what is bulking up. sudo apt-get clean will give you around a half gig back | 02:16 |
| CyberCod | i think with iwconfig it is something like sudo iwconfig wlan0 essid <something> mode managed but I might be missing something | 02:16 |
| bonhoffer | __yy__, yes 700 | 02:16 |
| AMDpenguin | gparted does all this bull crap with resizing it reads the whole partition twice | 02:16 |
| wingsit | HELPMEPLZ: My major problem is i dont have driver for nvidia.... | 02:16 |
| Odd-rationale | bonhoffer: are you in the dir of myscript? | 02:16 |
| mateus | Why the w32codecs package was abolished? | 02:16 |
| HELPMEPLZ | oh | 02:16 |
| CyberCod | wingsit, you'll have much better luck with hardy | 02:16 |
| mouseclone_ | cybercod: I will have to look at the man pages for that. when I run into it | 02:16 |
| d3vlabs | what can i use in Ubuntu to work with flash animation? | 02:16 |
| Johnny | glitsj16, i just upgraded to 3.0 and it still says im using 2.0.5 in the about | 02:17 |
| bonhoffer | Odd-rationale, yes -- but i just learned 700 requires sudo . . . :) | 02:17 |
| CyberCod | yeah, its a handy thing. | 02:17 |
| wingsit | HELPMEPLZ I would setup wireless if i can get into X | 02:17 |
| Pixeltime | owner: http://wiki.koeln.ccc.de/index.php/Ubuntu_PXE_Install | 02:17 |
| AMDpenguin | when will ubuntu requrie wat vista needs for ram? | 02:17 |
| CyberCod | d3vlabs: nothing that i'm aware of... I heard someone complaining the other day... but supposedly it is being worked on | 02:17 |
| mouseclone_ | d3vlabs: you can try Codeweavers Crossover. I think that they support for Flash MX | 02:17 |
| Bubalooshi | I have a question regarding my screen's resolution | 02:17 |
| glitsj16 | Johnny: how did you start the newly installed firefox 3 ? | 02:18 |
| Sergeant_Pony | nickrud: just cleaned up 688 meg so far | 02:18 |
| IndyGunFreak | AMDpenguin: i think thats awhile off.. ubuntu gets by fine on 512mb. | 02:18 |
| unop | mateus, they weren't - they aren't open-source and thus have to be distributed seperately | 02:18 |
| unop | !w32codecs | mateus | 02:18 |
| ubottu | mateus: medibuntu is a repository of packages that cannot be included into the Ubuntu distribution for legal reasons - See http://www.medibuntu.org | 02:18 |
| Blaqlight | anyone here know the difference between lenny and sid? | 02:18 |
| Bubalooshi | I cannot set my resolution to 1280x1024, it is stuck at 800x600 | 02:18 |
| Johnny | from the panel | 02:18 |
| brrrrrradical | guys do u reckon that my disk usage analyser is combing my hdd and my ipod even though my pod isnt plugged in? | 02:18 |
| CyberCod | wingsit: try sudo iwconfig wlan0 essid <yournetwork> mode managed | 02:18 |
| CyberCod | wingsit: and then put in sudo dhclient wlan0 | 02:19 |
| AMDpenguin | for me to use ubuntu all i got to do is shrink my 400GB ntfs partition down to around 60-80GB | 02:19 |
| mouseclone_ | bubalooshi: wrong driver for monitor or video in xorg.conf | 02:19 |
| wingsit | i am installing 8.04 again now. | 02:19 |
| glitsj16 | Johnny: try starting it from terminal manually, firefox-3 i think, your panel still points to ff2 | 02:19 |
| crazy6 | gah why won't amarok install mp3 support?!? | 02:19 |
| unop | Blaqlight, wrong channel to be asking that in -- but lenny is the unstable version of debian (next release) while sid is purely for testing new packages and/or new versions of packages | 02:19 |
| Blaqlight | AMDpenguin, just uninstall windows. | 02:19 |
| Bubalooshi | Should I type in xorg.conf? | 02:19 |
| wingsit | seems fine so far. be back 30 mins | 02:19 |
| mouseclone_ | bubalooshi: you can try forcing the settings in xorg.conf though and seeings if that works. just add the rezolution | 02:19 |
| Bubalooshi | How do I do this? | 02:20 |
| mateus | Thanks | 02:20 |
| unop | Blaqlight, more on that in #debian -- or http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Debian#Releases | 02:20 |
| mouseclone_ | budalooshi: xorg.conf is locate @ /etc/X11/xorg.conf | 02:20 |
| david_ | extreme | 02:20 |
| AMDpenguin | no i still play games like warrock and sims 2. (although i am starting to get sick of the sims 2) | 02:20 |
| mouseclone_ | use vi or nano or emacs | 02:20 |
| mouseclone_ | AMDpenguin: what type of AMD do you have? | 02:21 |
| Blaqlight | AMDpenguin, petentially they might work in wine. | 02:21 |
| AMDpenguin | be-2350 | 02:21 |
| MTecknology | I seriously can't figure out how to show/hide screenlets.... | 02:21 |
| mouseclone_ | wingsit: i love a 30 min install | 02:21 |
| Blaqlight | unop, I was just curious nothing more, sometimes I run into those two terms. | 02:21 |
| rebecca | anyone here know how to make dvd's play in ubuntu? | 02:21 |
| Bubalooshi | I feel like such a n00b, I cannot find the /etc folder for xorg.config | 02:22 |
| Odd-rationale | !dvd | rebecca | 02:22 |
| ubottu | rebecca: For playing DVD, see http://help.ubuntu.com/ubuntu/desktopguide/C/video.html - "libdvdcss2" can be found at !Medibuntu or (for Feisty and earlier) http://wiki.ubuntu.com/SeveasPackages - Try k9copy (available in !Universe) for backing up DVDs | 02:22 |
| AMDpenguin | Who cares if c2d adds 3-4 extra FPS | 02:22 |
| mouseclone_ | AMDpenguin: nice.. I built a spider platform box a few months back | 02:22 |
| rebecca | i dont know how to install anything | 02:22 |
| Bubalooshi | I found it | 02:22 |
| nibsa1242b | Is there a way to make pulse audio not distort my music. Every time I've listened to something since I've enabled it, it sounds distorted, almost staticity in a way, and the bass is messed up. | 02:22 |
| Commie_Jebus | ewwww | 02:22 |
| Commie_Jebus | AMD | 02:22 |
| AMDpenguin | OH i didnt build this computer i bought it for 300$ | 02:22 |
| mouseclone_ | Bubalooshi: do - sudo nano /etc/X11/xorg.conf | 02:22 |
| Sergeant_Pony | nickrud: any other ideas for freeing up space? | 02:23 |
| Dr_willis_ | !dvd | rebecca | 02:23 |
| ubottu | rebecca: For playing DVD, see http://help.ubuntu.com/ubuntu/desktopguide/C/video.html - "libdvdcss2" can be found at !Medibuntu or (for Feisty and earlier) http://wiki.ubuntu.com/SeveasPackages - Try k9copy (available in !Universe) for backing up DVDs | 02:23 |
| nickrud | Sergeant_Pony have you run baobab yet? | 02:23 |
| AMDpenguin | Upgraded the shitty sempron to an x2 and added a 500Gig Harddisk to replace a puny 80GB | 02:23 |
| Sergeant_Pony | nickrud: yes I did | 02:23 |
| Odd-rationale | rebecca: basically, you should add the Medibuntu repo (ses /msg ubottu medibuntu). install libdvdcss2, then it is recoomended that youreplace totem-gstreamer with totem-xine | 02:23 |
| nickrud | Sergeant_Pony it probably said most of your stuff was in your home dir? | 02:23 |
| Johnny | i just got ff3 working | 02:23 |
| Bubalooshi | How do I upgrade everything to 1280x1024? I am in xorg.config | 02:23 |
| Johnny | its even slower than 2 | 02:23 |
| IndyGunFreak | Bubalooshi: what video device do you have? | 02:24 |
| mouseclone_ | AMDpenguin: is spent about 900 for vid, cpu, mb, ps, mem | 02:24 |
| AMDpenguin | Only pain is dual booting ubuntu and windows | 02:24 |
| Bubalooshi | As in monito or videocard? | 02:24 |
| IndyGunFreak | as in videocard Bubalooshi | 02:24 |
| Bubalooshi | I'm no complely su, it's in my mothebord-VIA Unichrome AGP Pro S3 omething | 02:24 |
| AMDpenguin | wow its scary seeing ubuntu 11.04 | 02:25 |
| IndyGunFreak | Bubalooshi: hm, never heard o that one... | 02:25 |
| IndyGunFreak | AMDpenguin: why is that scary? | 02:25 |
| mouseclone_ | bubalooshi: would you like to see my xorg.conf? | 02:25 |
| Bubalooshi | Yes, please. | 02:25 |
| AMDpenguin | i will be 20 that year | 02:25 |
| Odd-rationale | after they changed the format of the xorg.conf file in Ubuntu hardy, i find it very difficule to troubleshoot resolution issues... :( | 02:25 |
| IndyGunFreak | AMDpenguin: lol, wel i guess thast one reason to be afraid | 02:25 |
| AMDpenguin | and i bet microsoft will be planning windows 10 | 02:26 |
| IndyGunFreak | lol | 02:26 |
| Zikey | Hi, what is the command to view the menu where you are able to select startup packages ? (BIND/APACHE/POSTFIX/MYSQL/...) ? | 02:26 |
| nickrud | Sergeant_Pony the system generally only puts a bunch of stuff in /usr, /share , and /var. My install (fairly full) runs to about 7 gb of system, everything else belongs to me and is in my $HOME | 02:27 |
| mouseclone_ | Odd-rationale: I have found for both AMD and nVidia it is best to use the drivers from them. They have auto configs. Every time my video messes up from an update I just rerun the AMD installer, and everythign is fised again. | 02:28 |
| unop | Zikey, services-admin or sysv-rc-conf | 02:28 |
| nickrud | Zikey bum and sysv-rc-conf are both nice | 02:28 |
| unop | !startup | Zikey | 02:28 |
| ubottu | Zikey: To add programs to start up when you log into your Gnome session go to System>Preferences>Sessions and use the Startup Programs tab. For more information, see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/AddingProgramToSessionStartup - See !boot for starting non-interactive programs at boot | 02:28 |
| nickrud | you're! too fast unop ;) | 02:29 |

| nickrud | Sergeant_Pony and / is full !!?? | 02:30 |
| unop | nickrud, heh, wish i could up this 62 WPS to about 3x that :) | 02:30 |

| unop | it's been a while since i have done anything like this - does anyone know of a versatile tool to help tag my music collection using online databases, update album-art, organize files, etc? - basically i want a winamp clone but ... | 02:33 |
| nickrud | unop I've used easytag, but someone told me exfalso is much better | 02:33 |
| IndyGunFreak | unop: easytag should do the trick i think | 02:34 |
| Kernel | hello all. i just noticed that the 8.04 ubuntu is lts..where as the kubuntu 8.04 is not...how does this work? if i use the ubuntu and install kde in it......will i have to worry about old vulnerable kde programs once the kubuntu8.04 is dropped? | 02:34 |
| oslo | bonjour | 02:34 |
| dapeng | dapeng | 02:34 |
| unop | IndyGunFreak, nickrud, easytag has this habit of frustrating me :) whenever i try selecting a few files, it seems to want to select them all | 02:34 |
| dapeng | hao | 02:34 |
| Johnny | ff3 is worse than ff2 | 02:35 |
| IndyGunFreak | unop: lol.. | 02:35 |
| mouseclone_ | wingis: how is that install coming? | 02:35 |
| wingsit | i dont know | 02:35 |
| wingsit | just came back from shower, but everything runs now | 02:35 |
| mouseclone_ | Johnny: that is ok, Opera keeps crashing on me | 02:35 |
| Kernel | !lst | 02:35 |
| ubottu | Sorry, I don't know anything about lst | 02:35 |
| Kernel | !lts | 02:35 |
| ubottu | LTS means Long Term Support. LTS versions of Ubuntu will be supported for 3 years on the desktop, and 5 years on the server. | 02:35 |
| mouseclone_ | wingsit: so gnome is all good? | 02:35 |
| unop | nickrud, exfalso is good -- only thing is it doesn't have a tag retrieval tool for my badly organised collection | 02:36 |
| nickrud | unop easytag sucks at adding album art in my experience (or I never figured it out right) | 02:36 |
| nickrud | now easytag is great at that | 02:36 |
| Flannel | Kernel: The KDE stuff won't be supported past 18 months | 02:36 |
| wingsit | mouseclone_ i will see in 5 mins | 02:36 |
| echosystm | hay guise! | 02:36 |
| echosystm | im looking to make a HTPC for my parents | 02:36 |
| hmuller | Anyone familiar with Dosemu / FreeDOS? | 02:36 |
| echosystm | but since they are complete noobs | 02:36 |
| wingsit | mouseclone_ yes it is working | 02:36 |
| Flannel | Kernel: Similarly to how having a Dapper Desktop will work after 3 years. The Desktop stuffs won't get updated, by the server stuffs will still | 02:36 |
| echosystm | i would like the OS to be read only | 02:36 |
| echosystm | does anyone know of a way to achieve this? | 02:36 |
| nibsa1242b | Does anyone else have a problem with Pluse audio where enabling it makes the bass part of music muffled like its coming out of a cell phone? | 02:36 |
| Kernel | Flannel: yea....so all the kde related apps will become stale and possilbe exploitable? | 02:37 |
| unop | nickrud, you mean easytag can retrieve tags online? | 02:37 |
| SeaPhor | !enter | echosystm | 02:37 |

| wingsit | mouseclone_ I am connecting to see if I can get online | 02:37 |
| nickrud | unop oh, on line. No, I was thinking poorly there, sorry | 02:37 |
| Flannel | Kernel: In 15 months, yes. | 02:37 |
| Odd-rationale | echosystm: can you just give them an unprivileged account? | 02:37 |
| Kernel | and why dont they do both kde and gnome? not enough kde users? | 02:37 |
| Flannel | Kernel: It had to do with the 3.5 and 4 split | 02:38 |
| Sergeant_Pony | nickrud: that command is taking a long time to run | 02:38 |
| unop | nickrud, ohh yea, it does - i forgot about that for an instant -- but i think it only helps if you have complete albums - not random files | 02:38 |
| Flannel | Kernel: nothing to do with userbase, they just were splitting their efforts between the two, and decided to drop the LTS because of it | 02:38 |
| nickrud | Sergeant_Pony yeah, it scans every directory and adds up the files to give you a total size | 02:38 |
| Flannel | Kernel: https://lists.ubuntu.com/archives/kubuntu-devel/2007-December/002066.html | 02:39 |
| r0oter | does anybody knows how can I make my terminal transperant to my background desktop and not to an application? | 02:39 |
| Kernel | Flannel: ah ok. i was hoping there would be lts for kde too.....i use alot of kde apps.. | 02:39 |
| nickrud | Sergeant_Pony we'll get back all the root level directory totals, get an idea of where the space is used. baobab does it in a nice gui, du is slower and less intuitive | 02:39 |
| noriyuki | How can I change my password using the terminal? | 02:40 |
| MTecknology | noriyuki, passwd | 02:40 |
| noriyuki | THANKS! | 02:40 |
| nickrud | echosystm if they don't have sudo privs (default for any new account) the system is read only to them | 02:40 |
| MTecknology | yw | 02:40 |
| Sergeant_Pony | nickrud: http://pastebin.ca/1074935 | 02:40 |
| r0oter | any clues? | 02:40 |
| craig_ | In a command line, I can do an iwlist scan, iwconfig eth1 essid "networkname", ans dhclient eth1. This will get me on the wireless network here. However, I can't do it with wifi-radar (the GUI app) How come? | 02:41 |
| Kernel | hmm will they do a lts of kubuntu for the next release..after they get all the new kde stuff sorted out? | 02:41 |
| nickrud | Sergeant_Pony /opt is where most of your space is taken up on the / partition | 02:41 |
| nickrud | Sergeant_Pony strike that, poor reading | 02:41 |
| MTecknology | r0oter, I used to know how to do that, but i can't remember what terminal emulator i used or how i did it - sorry | 02:42 |
| Sergeant_Pony | nickrud: ok? | 02:42 |
| Flannel | Kernel: That's yet to be seen. And probably isn't likely, because it would mean they'd have to support all the non-KDE stuff for a year on their own (after Intrepid support runs out, there'll be a year between that and 10.04 LTS) | 02:42 |
| noriyuki | how can i change to a password that is "too simple" | 02:42 |
| craigbass1976 | Oops, I didn't knwo I was in twice... The iwconfig blurb is mine. Anyone know why the command line works and the gui doesn't? | 02:42 |
| Kernel | ah ok. thanks for the help Flannel :0 | 02:43 |
| r0oter | MTecknology: do we need to do it throughout another app? | 02:43 |
| wingsit | mouseclone_ The installl is fine, I will play with it for a while. Thank you | 02:43 |
| Flannel | noriyuki: Why do you want to do that? | 02:43 |
| r0oter | MTecknology: or do we just config something? | 02:43 |
| MTecknology | r0oter, i think it depends on whether compiz is enabled or not.... | 02:43 |
| noriyuki | I had a password that I used to like which is not very simple | 02:43 |
| fwaokda | when I go to change icons for certain... icons ha - I don't know what folder they're in. where can I find icons to choose from on my ubuntu hardy install? | 02:43 |
| noriyuki | but is shorter | 02:43 |
| nickrud | Sergeant_Pony nothing there looks out of place. 15gb on /home, 20gb total, and about 5gb in / . Something else is wrong | 02:43 |
| mouseclone_ | wingsit: glad the install of 8.04 worked | 02:43 |
| noriyuki | Flannel: The one I have now is very large | 02:44 |
| nickrud | Sergeant_Pony so I'd say you have to move some stuff out of /home | 02:44 |
| Flannel | noriyuki: I don't understand what you're asking | 02:44 |
| r0oter | MTecknology: yeah I did disabled it and then my terminal turned out all black, no transperancy. | 02:44 |
| Sergeant_Pony | nickrud: ok.... | 02:44 |
| Johnny | im seriously f'ing sick of firefox crashing | 02:45 |

| wingsit | btw does any one know how i can speed up the wireless speed | 02:45 |
| MTecknology | r0oter, interesting... sorry i can't help ya any more | 02:45 |
| nickrud | Sergeant_Pony the / total is the total in the whole file system. subtract /home from that to see what's in the system. | 02:45 |
| wingsit | i have two computer sit side by side one is downloading much faster | 02:45 |
| noriyuki | Flannel: I want to change my password "passwd" is there a way to make the ccomputer to change it to anything no matter how simple it is | 02:46 |
| justs0me | which 3rd party repo is recommended/ | 02:46 |
| nickrud | Sergeant_Pony do you expect to have /home on a separate partition? | 02:46 |
| LSD|Ninja | justs0me: what do you need that isn't in the normal repos? | 02:46 |
| noriyuki | Flannel: I want to change my password "passwd" is there a way to make the ccomputer to change it to anything no matter how simple it is | 02:46 |
| Flannel | noriyuki: What are you trying to accomplish? Auto log in? Or you just really enjoy security issues? | 02:46 |
| justs0me | dunno, sorry im used to fedora | 02:47 |
| Sergeant_Pony | nickrud: when I set this up | 02:47 |
| merther | anyone had success with using wine for the new iTunes 7.7? | 02:47 |
| Flannel | justs0me: What are you looking for? | 02:47 |
| noriyuki | Flannel: the password I have is too large. So I want to change it to a simpler one.... | 02:47 |
| Sergeant_Pony | nickrud: when I set this up on my laptop I did all defaults | 02:47 |
| Flannel | noriyuki: Yes, passwd will do that. | 02:47 |
| justs0me | i need nvidia driver, but i dunno which one i nedd | 02:47 |

| Bam_Bam | How / can I use my creative x-fi soundcard in Ubuntu? http://opensource.creative.com/soundcard.html | 02:47 |
| LSD|Ninja | Drivers* | 02:47 |
| Flannel | justs0me: You don't need a third party. Just go to .. yeah, what LSD|Ninja said. | 02:48 |
| Sergeant_Pony | nickrud: this is a dual boot laptop. winxp and ubuntu 8.04 | 02:48 |
| noriyuki | Flannel: but it says that the pass is too simple. Is there a way to makeubuntu to change it no matter how simple | 02:48 |
| justs0me | and just click enable and it will dl the driver? | 02:48 |
| nickrud | Sergeant_Pony ah, then the standard doesn't use a separate home partition. It's all in one partition. if you put the contents of /etc/fstab and sudo fdisk -l I could tell you more | 02:48 |
| LSD|Ninja | justs0me: yep | 02:48 |
| justs0me | oh | 02:48 |
| justs0me | not used to this simple stuff | 02:48 |
| justs0me | =X | 02:48 |
| nickrud | Bam_Bam from what I hear, the best use for those cards is as doorstops. | 02:48 |
| Bam_Bam | hmmf... | 02:48 |
| Bam_Bam | Thanks... | 02:49 |
| nickrud | Bam_Bam I'm a jokester, someone else may have some real help for you | 02:49 |
| wingsit | anyone know how to speed up wireless speed? | 02:49 |
| Flannel | noriyuki: Again, if its complaining about simplicity, the password is probably not a good idea. What are you trying to accomplish with such a diminuitive password? | 02:49 |
| Bam_Bam | nickrud, I haven't had much luck so far... so I might actually agree with you | 02:49 |
| [pq] | i experience problem with gnome keyboard layout selector and compiz: i use 2 keyboard layout, say "usa" (default) and "usa-dvorak" (secondary).

| lenswipe | nickrud: even for the sake of cowbell :( | 02:50 |
| LSD|Ninja | justs0me: another thing you might want to do is install the ubuntu-restricted-extras package. That'll install a whole bunch of stuff like java, flash, additional codecs and whatnot that you need 3rd party repos for in Fedora. The only repo you might want to add is medibuntu: http://www.medibuntu.org/ that has stuff like DVD playback, Skype and Google Earth in it | 02:50 |
| noriyuki | Flannel: I had that password before formating alright? And I put another one when I formatted. I want the other one... I just want a answer my friend can you help me? | 02:51 |

| wingsit | chriswr_ emacs for crazy editing | 02:52 |
| chriswr | im trying to copy a walktrough off gamefaq.com | 02:52 |
| Flannel | noriyuki: Its probably a bad idea to have that password, but use this to get around it: sudo passwd [username] (where [username] is your user) | 02:52 |
| chriswr | if that helps | 02:52 |
| noriyuki | it doesnt work | 02:52 |
| === gardar`afk is now known as gardar | ||

| echosystm | has anyone here used 802.11n? | 02:53 |
| echosystm | is it much better than G? | 02:54 |
| nickrud | Sergeant_Pony ok, it all looks normal. ext3 reserves some space where only root can write (about 5%, helps protect the os from a truly full disk) and dead space in files would use up the other 1gb. Your disk is full. You have to move some stuff out of /home to make space | 02:54 |
| matthias_N | hi, when the power saving is running i can after that not get back my screen no mather what key i hit i can only turn off the computer and start it all over to be able to access the computer | 02:54 |
| matthias_N | echosystm: yes | 02:54 |
| justs0me | LSD|Ninja: i mean liek fedora has 2 3rd party repos and its highly recommened to only install one, this is not the case with the above mentioned? | 02:54 |
| bpgoldsb | If a package (postfix) wants to run dpkg-reconfigure, is there a way to install it with a 'dont run dpkg-reconfigure' setting? | 02:54 |
| LSD|Ninja | echosystm: not directly. I have the capability on my MacBook but without an n-capable access point it's only in g mode | 02:54 |
| Flannel | justs0me: We do recommend medibuntu for the things it offers. But if you're not going to use anything in it, there's no reason to add it. | 02:55 |
| LSD|Ninja | justs0me: there's no overlap between the Ubuntu and Medibuntu repositories so it's safe to have both enabled | 02:55 |
| Sergeant_Pony | nickrud: how do I do that? | 02:55 |
| NetTroller | have a question about Konverstation...setting timestamp to am/pm instead of 24 hour..is there a room for questions like that ? | 02:55 |
| nickrud | justs0me missed some of what you said, but I'd recommend sticking with the ubuntu repos only. On any machine I need to have work, that's what I do | 02:55 |
| justs0me | if i add medibuntu should i also as the 'ubuntu-restricted-extras? | 02:55 |
| nickrud | Sergeant_Pony move some files to another partition (like the ntfs one) | 02:56 |
| LSD|Ninja | justs0me: ubuntu-restricted-extras isn't a repo, it;s a metapackage that install stuff like java, and additional codecs | 02:56 |
| === PV1 is now known as PrivateVoid | ||
| justs0me | LSD|Ninja: dunno what a metapack is, but i assume i get it from mediubuntu ? | 02:57 |
| matthias_N | anyone have solved the problem with power management ???, i can not enter the computer once the power saving is activated ... | 02:57 |
| LSD|Ninja | justs0me: medibuntu exists because the packages with in (such as libdvdcss) can't be distributed in the normal Ubuntu repos for licencing or legal reasons | 02:57 |
| teethdood | can I enrypt an installed Ubuntu HD? | 02:58 |
| LSD|Ninja | justs0me: a metapackage is a package that doesn't install anything itself but has dependencies for a whole bunch of other packages. It's basically for simplifying the installation of a group of packages | 02:58 |
| jbroome | !truecrypt | teethdood | 02:58 |
| ubottu | teethdood: Truecypt is a free open-source on-the-fly disk encryption software. See https://help.ubuntu.com/community/TruecryptHiddenVolume | 02:58 |
| matthias_N | echosystm: what about 802.11n ??? | 02:58 |
| nickrud | justs0me metapackages are simply lists of packages to install. ubuntu-restricted-extras is a list of packages that provides good java, media playback etc, and it comes from the regular ubuntu repos. | 02:58 |
| justs0me | oh | 02:58 |
| matthias_N | does the power aaving management work for everybody here ??? | 02:59 |
| justs0me | easy enought | 02:59 |
| craigbass1976 | In a command line, I can do an iwlist scan, iwconfig eth1 essid "networkname", ans dhclient eth1. This will get me on the wireless network here. However, I can't do it with wifi-radar (the GUI app) How come? | 02:59 |
| LSD|Ninja | justs0me: heh, it seems like a lot to get your head around but at the end of the day it's a hell of a lot easier than getting all this stuff working in Fedora | 03:00 |
| nickrud | justs0me there are two packages from medibuntu worth getting: libdvdcss2 , and w32codecs. http://help.ubuntu.com/Medibuntu has a section on getting them manually, without actually adding the repo | 03:00 |
| justs0me | LSD|Ninja: lol im seeing that | 03:00 |
| LSD|Ninja | nickrud: adding the repo will make it easier for updates though | 03:01 |
| nickrud | LSD|Ninja how often do they get updated ;) Every two years or so? | 03:01 |
| justs0me | nickrud: ah, thanks | 03:01 |

| arvind_khadri | !grub | Jessiah | 03:21 |
| Dr4k3n | i did it everything fine | 03:21 |
| ubottu | Jessiah: 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 | 03:21 |

| Dr4k3n | i have 512mb ram ddr2 533mhz | 03:21 |
| dr_Willis | Jessiah, the order/numbering of the drives may have changed. You may need to change the hd(0,0) or whatever. to the proper #'s | 03:22 |
| nickrud | Jessiah swap the disks around I bet | 03:22 |

| Bam_Bam | http://rafb.net/p/HV1m8O93.html | 03:23 |
| Jessiah | or how would i just reinstall grub? from the ubuntu disc? | 03:23 |
| Dr4k3n | well arvind_khadri tell me how can i see the booting log or errors? | 03:23 |
| bobertdos | jpratt: It's generally best to have restricted drivers enabled for full 3D support. You will then want to install compizconfig-settings-manager. | 03:23 |
| Dewente | nickrud, this book worked for u ? | 03:23 |
| nickrud | EminX it'll depend on your vga driver, lspci | grep VGA , tell us that line | 03:23 |
| dr_Willis | Jessiah, are these sata or ide disks? | 03:23 |
| nickrud | Dewente I used it a lot once | 03:23 |
| Jessiah | all sata, 6 total | 03:24 |
| jpratt | I know about the settings mangeger jsut Trying to set up my aunts comp | 03:24 |
| nickrud | Bam_Bam sudo apt-get install build-essential | 03:24 |

| Bam_Bam | ok | 03:24 |
| jpratt | manager** | 03:24 |
| justs0me | soldats: wth does compiz have to do with it ? | 03:24 |
| Dr4k3n | ok arvind_khadri which one is for the booting? | 03:24 |
| Dewente | nickrud, i hopefully work for me.. because over the internet we found a lot of old tutorials right ? | 03:24 |
| dr_Willis | Jessiah, you could use the live cd, or if you can get to the grub menu, go to its 'shell' and try reinstalling grub that way followign that guide. You can check to see where it finds the menu.lst and so forth. to be sure you got the proper hd(X,Y) | 03:25 |
| d3vlabs | is anything more advanced then filezilla for ubuntu | 03:25 |
| djhash | how do you manually update "locate"'s database? | 03:25 |
| arvind_khadri | Dr4k3n, there are logs in /var/log/boot | 03:25 |
| nickrud | Dewente the basic admin is the same everywhere, since it's based on unix. Each distro has it's quirks at higher levels. | 03:25 |
| elec | is the intrepid kernel that is available via git, 2.6.26 stable? | 03:25 |

| samubuntu | anybody knowledgeable with mythtv setup? | 03:26 |
| dr_Willis | samubuntu, thers the #mythbuntu channel | 03:26 |
| Dewente | nickrud, look,, i got ubuntu server, but i'd like to be a guru at red hat | 03:26 |
| Jessiah | dr_Willis, gonna check on that.. cant get into the menu as i did a grub-update? and the menu was no longer present.. it was only booting into Born again shell after some updates... | 03:26 |
| samubuntu | thanks dr. w | 03:26 |
| djhash | samubuntu: if I remember correctly.. I recommend you install and configure mysql ahead of time.. might save you some hassle. | 03:26 |
| Dewente | nickrud, for better job | 03:26 |
| Jack_Sparrow | samubuntu #ubuntu-mythtv | 03:27 |
| dr_Willis | Jessiah, if the menu is totally gone.. sounds like the bios may be booting the wrong hard drive now. | 03:27 |
| nickrud | Dewente then you will need to use redhat. The configuration of each system (apache, bind, etc) is fundamentally the same, so your skills will transfer simply, but the do lay out the configs slightly differently | 03:27 |
| dr_Willis | Jessiah, but somthing seems weird about all this.. | 03:27 |
| Jessiah | dr_Willis the menu was gone before i popped in this drive | 03:27 |
| elik | Anyone here have good experience with bridge-utils? | 03:27 |
| justs0me | soldats: i glances over that site but i dont see why compiz would make me not able to install 'ubuntu-restricted-extras'? | 03:27 |
| Jessiah | dr_Willis checking the guide tho.. | 03:28 |
| Dewente | nickrud, i think the same , where can i get a copy of redhat ? | 03:28 |
| EminX | nickrud: how can I check | 03:28 |
| dr_Willis | Jessiah, grub is one of those tools. thats its worth reading that guide.. and the grub manual./docs/homepage a few timnes. :) its got some cool features | 03:28 |
| nickrud | Dewente you can get fedora for free, it's sorta the alpha of red hat. | 03:28 |
| Jack_Sparrow | Dewente I didnt think redhat was free | 03:28 |

| unavailable | transmission tops out at 150 k on my system, even with 500+ seeds whereas ktorrent will hit max of 1000 + | 04:29 |
| IndyGunFreak | unavailable: ?.. really?.. i just downloaded the newest ubuntu 8.04 desktop CD... and hit 850k | 04:29 |
| veo[test-morph] | transmission didn't allow me to select which files i wanted inside the torrent | 04:29 |
| unavailable | thats another reason i like ktorrent | 04:29 |
| IndyGunFreak | veo[test-morph]: yes it does | 04:30 |
| unavailable | plus in transmission the peerguardian addin locked up | 04:30 |
| zod21 | veo[test-morph] use utorrent in wine its much more efficient | 04:30 |
| unavailable | bah | 04:30 |
| veo[test-morph] | than ktorrent? | 04:30 |
| zod21 | yeah | 04:30 |
| peepsalot | i need to format an sd card. not sure which device it corresponds to though, can anyone help? | 04:30 |
| unavailable | doubt it | 04:30 |
| zod21 | haha ok | 04:30 |
| unavailable | utorrent is owned by bittorrent now | 04:30 |
| IndyGunFreak | actually, utorrent is nice under Wine.. but i prefer transmission(you can choose which files to download by the way) | 04:30 |
| unavailable | utorrent phones home to bittorrent | 04:31 |
| zod21 | i still use it and its fast as ever | 04:31 |
| wala3alabalu | any ubbuntu server network guru's here? | 04:31 |
| veo[test-morph] | maybe i'll give it a try | 04:31 |
| unavailable | i wouldnt | 04:31 |
| kc | zod21 i am back total shell for now sorry but i was hoping that user would load but then memory killed over | 04:32 |
| zod21 | yeah man, its not bad, just read how to set it up in google, and set it as the default setting for torrents | 04:32 |
| veo[test-morph] | as for audio playing, any good alternative to amarok ? | 04:32 |
| m_newton | Starnestommy: hey man | 04:32 |
| IndyGunFreak | veo[test-morph]: just normal audio playing?.. or like a full featured player... for just general playing, i like audacious.. | 04:32 |
| veo[test-morph] | normal audio | 04:32 |
| IndyGunFreak | for ipod manager, album art, etc, i use banshee | 04:32 |
| unavailable | veo[test-morph ]if peer guardian blocks bittorrent.com its for a reason, and if, while starting utorrent, peerguardian goes crazy blocking bittorrent, there's a problem | 04:32 |
| error404notfound | I know the ip address of a remote printer, I know its model, make and drivers, how can I write a shell script that adds this printer to my Gnome's Admin> Printing so that all I would have to do to add that printer would be double clicking the script | 04:32 |

| kc | idleone thanks | 04:33 |
| veo[test-morph] | yeah it's a bit heavy for what i want (but nice though) | 04:33 |
| muros | zod21, found a fix | 04:34 |
| Nigel | I have a problem with apache and mysql installations..can anyone help ? | 04:34 |
| zod21 | muros awesome | 04:34 |
| muros | http://www.codeweavers.com/support/forums/general/?;t=26;msg=35899 | 04:34 |
| muros | problem lies with crossover on dual screen | 04:34 |
| muros | using xrandr to turn off the laptop screen fixes the issue | 04:34 |
| veo[test-morph] | the day linux get a good daytrading analysis software it's gonna be perfect for me, no more vbox ;_; | 04:34 |
| muros | though, if the laptop lid is closed, the screen should not be on | 04:34 |
| veo[test-morph] | too bad qtstalker is so limited : | 04:35 |
| soldats | muros: you could also use "xset dpms force off" to turn the screen off | 04:35 |
| muros | so, if the laptop screen was not on when the lid is closed, this issue would not ocour | 04:35 |
| zod21 | hey fellas i gotta bounce, be back on in a sec kc | 04:35 |
| zod21 | gonna check somethin | 04:35 |
| Ububegin | i tried to stop a process using kill 27504 (processid) .. but when i ps -ef . it is still there. any other more potent commands to kill a process | 04:35 |
| muros | soldats, any reason why ubuntu turns the screen on when the lid is closed ? | 04:36 |
| cpk1 | Ububegin: -R | 04:36 |
| muros | eg, powered and started from the docking station | 04:36 |
| __yy | Ububegin: kill -9 pid | 04:36 |
| soldats | muros: theres a switch on the lid insude the laptop itself that tells the screen to turn off so if something goes backwards it mayreverse the settings | 04:36 |
| veo[test-morph] | also any good alternative for irc client? i really have trouble with xchat, back to mirc with wine ~ | 04:37 |
| muros | ? | 04:37 |
| Starnestommy | veo[test-morph]: regular xchat or xchat-gnome? | 04:37 |
| Baxtor | Hey everyone, im setting up my HD4850, got all the drivers to work, got compiz running, i am having troubles with my Xv videoplayback, from the ubuntu guide it says i need to enable TexturedVideo rather than VideoOverlay, should i also turn off OpenGLOverlay? | 04:37 |
| human | flash developers for linux should be killed...:| | 04:37 |
| soldats | veo[test-morph]: irssi is amazing if you like text based | 04:37 |
| IndyGunFreak | veo[test-morph]: ?.. you can't be serious... xchat, xchat-gnome, kvirc, konversation, irssi | 04:37 |
| unavailable | Man i still think yall should look into utorrent/bittorrent.com's business practices and why peerguardian blocks their traffic. | 04:37 |
| IndyGunFreak | why in the world would you run an IRC client in wine | 04:37 |
| veo[test-morph] | i use irssi when i run a client with ssh | 04:37 |
| unavailable | im out for now | 04:37 |
| IndyGunFreak | that would be like running firefox in wine | 04:37 |
| muros | i find it strange, that when the laptop lid is closed the laptop in hardware mode sets the primary display to external because the lid is closed, linux is enabling the screen even though it is closed. | 04:37 |
| daggerx | greetings | 04:38 |
| human | hi | 04:38 |
| veo[test-morph] | IndyGunFreak because i'm used to it, have my scripts, my habits, and it's hard to change after what.. 10years? lol | 04:38 |
| IndyGunFreak | veo[test-morph]: if you are familiar w/ irssi, that would be my choice, second would be xchat | 04:38 |
| Ububegin | __yy: thank god, it can kill now.. cpk1 : the -R doesnt work. I dont think there is a -R for the kill command. Follow __yy answer. thanks all | 04:38 |
| soldats | muros: it may just be switching to external to save power but with some laptops you cant fully power save unless you do it manually | 04:38 |
| Flannel | veo[test-morph]: Try xchat proper (not xchat-gnome) there's a surprising difference | 04:38 |
| veo[test-morph] | there's a gui version of irssi or still ol good terminal one | 04:38 |
| kcman | zod21 okay i am in a gui now but is there a way for me to edit the other user's perfrences? | 04:38 |
| Flannel | veo[test-morph]: terminal is a GUI version ;) | 04:38 |
| veo[test-morph] | well i understand myself :D | 04:39 |
| IdleOne | the original gui hehe | 04:39 |
| IndyGunFreak | veo[test-morph]: well, you said yourself "mirc in wine doesn't work that well"..lol, so sounsd like you need to adapt and overcome and try xchat or irssi. | 04:39 |

| a8ksh4 | ls | 04:39 |
| veo[test-morph] | yeah that's why i'm asking, but to go back to client line, or use xchat that left me weird aftertaste :D | 04:40 |
| IndyGunFreak | veo[test-morph]: i personally really like xchat, but as i said earlier, i'm nto a CLI guy | 04:40 |
| veo[test-morph] | i was hoping to find something that i can easily put down to tray and that tell me when i have notice and such | 04:40 |

| Flannel | veo[test-morph]: as much as I shudder to say it.. have you tried pidgin? | 04:40 |
| IndyGunFreak | veo[test-morph]: xchat has notice in tray.. | 04:40 |
| soldats | veo[test-morph]: pidgin can do it | 04:40 |
| bazhang | Casper12345, you have a question about that? | 04:41 |
| veo[test-morph] | IndyGunFreak that was related tothe irssi proposition | 04:41 |
| IndyGunFreak | veo[test-morph]: oh ok.. | 04:41 |
| Casper12345 | naa sorry | 04:41 |
| Casper12345 | jus being silly | 04:41 |

| Casper12345 | ok | 04:41 |
| kcman | indeygunfreak do you know if i can edit one user preferences from another user account? | 04:42 |
| soldats | Flannel: id only conside irssi a GUI if you add a graphical background to it otherwise there s really nothing graphical about it, irssi IMO is a NUI. ncurses user interface | 04:42 |
| jbroome | kcman: with sudo you can | 04:42 |
| kcman | jbroome how? | 04:42 |
| jbroome | *sigh* | 04:43 |
| soldats | HA | 04:43 |
| a8ksh4 | What are you trying to change in the other account kcman? | 04:44 |
| veo[test-morph] | i just looked at pidgin, if you got like 8 servers active, it's not that practical at all | 04:44 |
| Ububegin | i am currently using chatzilla.. are there other better IRC clients to suggest.. | 04:45 |
| Ububegin | for ubuntu | 04:45 |
| soldats | veo[test-morph]: stick with xchat or switch to irssi | 04:45 |
| levander | Ububegin: pidgin is one | 04:45 |
| levander | Ububegin: I think pidgin is the default ubuntu one, it talks a lot of different chat protocols | 04:45 |
| levander | like yahoo | 04:45 |
| soldats | Ububegin: xchat s great fr beginniners and advanced users | 04:45 |
| veo[test-morph] | yeah, so xchat delivered with ubuntu got less functions than the current one? | 04:46 |
| kcman | a8ksh4 i just set some wav's to play at login and what not then when i tried them out there was so much going on that my gui will not load, so i made another account hoping that i could edit the sounds down to nothing or defaults and reduce some of the apps at that accounts start up... | 04:47 |

| jbroome | lginn02: you probably want the i386 version of k9copo | 05:01 |
| nickrud | lginn02 try looking for it in add/remove | 05:01 |
| lginn02 | ok i guess that the 64bit ver.? | 05:01 |
| Fezzler | How do I completely remove all nvidia drivers? | 05:01 |
| nickrud | lginn02 no, its for the hppa processor, not intel compatible at all | 05:02 |
| Fezzler | And anything they may leave behind. | 05:02 |
| jbroome | lginn02: apt will pull the right version for your machine | 05:02 |
| nickrud | lginn02 you were trying to download it from some website? | 05:02 |
| lginn02 | im running amd anyways | 05:02 |
| lginn02 | hmm not in add remove | 05:03 |
| jbroome | !info k9copy | 05:03 |

| lginn02 | k | 05:03 |
| nickrud | lginn02 you running kubuntu or ubuntu? | 05:04 |
| jbroome | shouldn't matter. i have k9copy running on gnome | 05:04 |
| lginn02 | ubuntu | 05:04 |
| lginn02 | hardy | 05:04 |
| nickrud | lginn02 then if you don't see it in synaptic, do the following: | 05:04 |
| lginn02 | its dwnloading | 05:05 |
| nickrud | nm ;) | 05:05 |
| lginn02 | so far | 05:05 |

| nickrud | lginn02 somewhere in that range, anyway ;) | 05:07 |

| bazhang | http://openfacts.berlios.de/index-en.phtml?title=TI%20FlashMedia%20xx12%2Fxx21%20driver Llewxam the only thing I could find is this as the other yields 404 not found | 05:07 |
| krister | could anyone answer a quick vim question | 05:07 |
| Fezzler | If I use Hardware Drivers to enable nvidia, it uninstall the "legacy" driver and replaces it with "new." But I need "legacy." How do I enable without getting drives switched? | 05:07 |
| nickrud | lginn02 I was going to give you some information about adding the additional ubuntu repositories, gives you access to a lot more stuff. You should probably check it anyway. See the next factoid. | 05:07 |
| Flannel | !ask | krister | 05:08 |
| ubottu | krister: Please don't ask to ask a question, ask the question (all on ONE line, so others can read and follow it easily). If anyone knows the answer they will most likely answer. :-) | 05:08 |
| nickrud | !hardysources | lginn02 | 05:08 |
| kcman | bazhang any thoughts? | 05:08 |
| ubottu | lginn02: In System->Admin->Software Sources, enable (main) (universe) (restricted) and (multiverse) and disable the Cdrom on the Ubuntu Software tab. On the Updates tab, enable (hardy-security) and (hardy-updates). | 05:08 |
| itsme | does anyone know a program that can read what i write??? | 05:08 |
| krister | oh ok sorry...wasnt sure what the protocol was...didnt want to come in and start shouting | 05:08 |
| lginn02 | k brbh | 05:08 |
| bazhang | kcman, the second user does not load properly? | 05:08 |
| jbroome | itsme: try orca | 05:08 |
| krister | when in insert mode in vim, why do the arrow keys no longer move the cursor but insert a new line with a single capital letter? | 05:09 |
| nickrud | Fezzler sudo apt-get install nvidia-glx-legacy , then just ignore hardware drivers | 05:09 |
| Flannel | kevinmcq: Do you have vim-full installed? | 05:09 |
| Starnestommy | krister: try :set nocp | 05:09 |
| bobertdos | lginn02: The other two percent comes from things like miscellaneous deb and archive files. Sometimes, there's stuff you build from source code, but that's pretty much it :) | 05:09 |
| Llewxam | bazhang: thanks. i'll try with that. | 05:09 |
| krister | whats the cp stand for? | 05:09 |
| kcman | bazhang there is just to much going on and i dont have enought memory (this is an old machine) and i want to know if i can edit the preferences from a differenct account | 05:09 |

| bin4y | hi, how do i make the winkey shortcuts work? | 05:09 |
| bobertdos | krister: That's the bash command for copying files. | 05:10 |
| bazhang | kcman, you want to get in and remove those wav files? or what; please clarify | 05:10 |
| kcman | yeah if removeal will help then sure | 05:10 |
| kcman | i know there dir if that will help | 05:10 |
| krister | i guess i should ask what the technically correct way to navigate while in insert mode in vim is | 05:10 |
| Flannel | krister: Do you have vim-full installed? | 05:10 |
| krister | the arrow keys work just fine when not in insert mode | 05:10 |
| Flannel | krister: or rather, "vim" itself, instead of just vim-tiny | 05:10 |
| lginn02 | k | 05:11 |
| krister | i dont know - whatever came with ubuntu...didnt know there was a vim full or tiny | 05:11 |
| bobertdos | bin4y: System->Preferences->Keyboard Shortcuts. When you assign them to something, they're denoted as Super L and Super R, | 05:11 |
| CrocoJet | smbclient use what kind of protocol ? | 05:11 |
| nickrud | bin4y if you want to use the winkeys, you have to use gconf-editor /apps/gnome-settings-daemon/keybindings . you would type something like <Super>t to use the super key with t | 05:11 |
| bazhang | kcman, not sure what all else you have done; you can try removing them and see if that works | 05:11 |
| Fezzler | nickrud: Okay done. But how is it enabled or recognized? Do I need to reboot? Can I run a command line to check it is installed and enabled? | 05:11 |
| === braden_ is now known as zod21 | ||
| Flannel | krister: if its the one that came with it, its just vim-tiny. you'll want to install the real one to use vim. Why are you using vim anyway? just need an editor? Tried nano? | 05:11 |
| nickrud | Fezzler you can do sudo modprobe nvidia, then log out and back in. Then run glxinfo | grep direct, if it says yes, you're using 3d acceleration | 05:12 |
| kcman | bazhang there really isnt much else to my understanding other than remaking account in different name and then deleting old | 05:12 |

| theRealBall | no it's a windows laptop sorry | 05:13 |
| nickrud | flatman but where? What command did you run? | 05:14 |
| bazhang | theRealBall, then you may want to ask in ##windows | 05:14 |
| Flannel | krister: "-full" includes gvim | 05:14 |
| krister | ohhh | 05:14 |
| krister | that would explain it | 05:14 |
| bobertdos | flatman: Expand the details on the updates. Sometimes, when it gets stuck, it's because it's waiting for your input as to whether or not to continue with something. | 05:14 |
| theRealBall | yes i know heh | 05:14 |
| nickrud | and syntax on. Can't believe I have to get all that just for syntax coloring | 05:14 |
| krister | what exactly does the nocp option do in vim | 05:15 |

| nickrud | Fezzler ok, I'm not an nvidia expert, but that should be enough. put a copy of /var/log/Xorg.0.log on a pastebin | 05:16 |
| bazhang | chriswr, then install the modules | 05:16 |
| theRealBall | which was why i crossed over to solaris where buncha old unix farts have patience for almost anything | 05:16 |
| chriswr | bazhang: i did | 05:16 |
| chriswr | bazhang: do i need to install verr? | 05:16 |
| nickrud | bin4y ah, you using compiz or metacity. I forgot the new keybinding dialog includes window manager stuff now | 05:16 |
| bin4y | nickrud, compiz? metacity? i do not understant :/ | 05:17 |
| lginn02 | ok thanks for the info im new to all this linux codeing and stuff. I tried linux awhile back but whent back to xp. But finally have had enought of there bs i got a virus in one of there updates. and appaently im not the only one getting it. | 05:17 |
| nickrud | bin4y ok, do you have the fancy desktop effects? If so, you're using compiz (that's the application that makes it happen) | 05:17 |
| m_newton | can some one help plz, i have a A215 S7428, but the internet does not work! currently i am on windows and have ubuntu 8.04 installed with wine | 05:18 |
| bin4y | nickrud, yeah what ever comes with a fresh ubuntu hardy install | 05:18 |
| albech | just recently my computer started booting gnome in 1280x720 instead of 1280x800. It is like it wont save the resolution settings | 05:18 |
| albech | running 7.10 btw | 05:18 |
| nickrud | bin4y it could be either way. do this in a terminal: ps -A | grep metacity && ps -A | grep compiz , one of them will be found | 05:19 |
| Kristopher | hai, i downloaded a ubuntu iso image and am not sure if it is the right download... | 05:19 |
| Kristopher | it is "ubuntu-8.04.1-alternate-amd64" | 05:19 |
| bin4y | binay@binay-desktop:~$ ps -A | grep metacity && ps -A | grep compiz | 05:19 |
| bin4y | binay@binay-desktop:~$ | 05:19 |
| bin4y | that means? | 05:20 |
| Flannel | Kristopher: Are you on AMD64? | 05:20 |
| chriswr | can someone help me install virtualbox? | 05:20 |
| lginn02 | is there a way that i can change the way my desktop looks. to maybe something other than the mac theme? | 05:20 |
| kgroves42 | Anyone know how to get my panels back | 05:20 |
| Kristopher | does it only work on amd 64-bit chips like the turion line? do i need another version for a pentium 3? | 05:20 |
| bin4y | sorry for the paste :> | 05:20 |
| nickrud | bin4y hm, that worked weird. Run them each separately | 05:20 |
| Flannel | Kristopher: pentium 3 isn't 64 bit. You want the i386 version | 05:20 |
| nickrud | bin4y never mind, you have compiz, since it didn't find metacity | 05:20 |
| chriswr | can somone help me install , backtrack in virtualbox , im haveing lots of troubles | 05:21 |
| Fezzler | nickrud: http://paste.ubuntu.com/28188/ | 05:21 |
| St-Lemur | Hi. My display settings under gdm are screwed up and I can't figure out how to get them back to a place where they work. Specifically: my monitor, which was working fine in 1280x1024, is now flickering all the time; my mouse cursor has disappeared; and when I replace xorg.conf with any old version I get a huge desktop that scrolls off the screen and no mouse cursor. | 05:21 |
| bobertdos | lginn02: How much do you want to change it? just the wallpaper, desktop effects? icons? | 05:21 |
| bin4y | nickrud, it's compiz | 05:21 |
| bin4y | nickrud, :-) | 05:21 |
| Kristopher | <Flannel>, i have 2 computers i want to run it on | 05:21 |
| Kristopher | one is a turion 62 x2 | 05:21 |
| Kristopher | *64 | 05:22 |
| lginn02 | the bars | 05:22 |
| nickrud | bin4y gconf-editor /apps/compiz/general/allscreens/options , look for show_desktop_key, and change it to <Super>d | 05:22 |
| bin4y | nickrud thanks :> | 05:22 |
| Flannel | Kristopher: That's the correct one for a 64bit install, yes. Although you can also use the 386 version on that system. So yes, both ISOs are the right ones | 05:22 |
| lginn02 | just dont know whats out there to change it to really | 05:22 |
| nickrud | bin4y you can change a lot there | 05:22 |
| Kristopher | ok thanks, just seemed odd that there was a version specifically for amd64 ;) | 05:22 |
| jebblue | chriswr http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=593512 | 05:22 |
| nickrud | Fezzler looking | 05:23 |
| bin4y | nickrud, it worked :> | 05:23 |
| Kristopher | can i run it without messing up my current win vista installation? or will i need to partition the drive ? | 05:23 |
| Viking667 | I've got a quick query. Given that my attempt to upgrade the recommended way, isn't working, would I be able to (say) tinker with sources.list, then do a apt-distupgrade? | 05:23 |
| Viking667 | OR would that fall flat on its face? | 05:23 |
| Flannel | Viking667: Ubuntu, Kubuntu, what? | 05:24 |
| jebblue | chriswr also http://phorolinux.com/installing-virtualbox-ose-on-ubuntu-710-gutsy-gibbon.html | 05:24 |
| Viking667 | Ubuntu, from 7.10 to 8.04 | 05:24 |
| d0wn | how do I list X sessions? | 05:24 |
| Flannel | Viking667: sudo apt-get update && sudo apt-get install ubuntu-desktop ubuntu-standard ubuntu-minimal linux-generic , then change gutsy to hardy in sources.list, then sudo apt-get update && sudo apt-get dist-upgrade | 05:25 |
| bazhang | https://help.ubuntu.com/community/VirtualBox chriswr you read this yet? | 05:25 |
| nickrud | Fezzler well, you're getting the vesa driver, not nvidia. gksu gedit /etc/X11/xorg.conf , look for the Section "Device" , and add a line Driver "nvidia" to the section | 05:25 |
| Viking667 | I've stripped out quite a few packagesso that I have enough room to download the replacement packages. I've got about 1 GB free on the drive. | 05:25 |
| Viking667 | ... and could tack on swap space in a crush. | 05:25 |
| Jyrgazud | Hello all... looking for info on doing dual video out on ibm t20 using ubuntu. | 05:25 |
| Flannel | Viking667: you need those metapackages to make the upgrade pleasant | 05:25 |
| Viking667 | which ... metapackages... ? | 05:26 |
| kgroves42 | Hello, does any one know how to get my panels back? Alt-F2 does not do anything, so I can't get to the terminal, without rebooting into safe mode | 05:26 |
| krister | do you guys know any irc channels with sed gurus hanging around | 05:26 |
| zoreau | sudo apt-get install *** <<-- this installsstuff, howto i RE-install stuff | 05:26 |
| nickrud | kgroves42 applications->accessories->terminal | 05:26 |
| nickrud | kgroves42 heh. No panels | 05:26 |
| Flannel | zoreau: After having removed it? or what? | 05:26 |
| bob3213243 | Hey, for some reason my mute button on my laptop stopped working. It pops up and says it muted but it doesn't adjust the volume settings at all. I can go to the mixer and mute it or turn it down. | 05:26 |
| kgroves42 | yea no panels | 05:27 |
| zoreau | no its still installed | 05:27 |
| Fezzler | nickrud: It says Driver "nv" | 05:27 |
| zoreau | i mean, i could uninstall, then install....isnt therea reinstall? | 05:27 |
| Flannel | zoreau: zoreau sudo apt-get --reinstall install * | 05:27 |
| Fezzler | nickrud: change to "nividia" anyway? | 05:27 |
| nickrud | kgroves42 hm, there's gotta be a way | 05:27 |
| zoreau | thanks | 05:27 |
| lginn02 | is there a good windows emulator for games other that wine and cedega | 05:27 |
| nickrud | Fezzler yes | 05:27 |
| Flannel | krister: ask in #ubuntu-offtopic | 05:27 |
| nickrud | Fezzler then log out and back in | 05:27 |
| Viking667 | lginn02: I think those are the only two I know of. | 05:28 |
| lginn02 | thats what i was thinkine | 05:28 |
| jebblue | kgroves42 type "gnome-panel &" in a terminal window | 05:28 |
| krister | ok thanks | 05:28 |
| nickrud | kgroves42 ctl-alt-f2, log in, gconftool --recursive-unset /apps/panel , ctl-alt-f7, log out and back in | 05:28 |
| axenory | how can I keylock a folder | 05:28 |
| bob3213243 | So I'm thinking there is a disconnect between the volume button software and the actual volume. | 05:28 |
| lginn02 | im just hoping that starcraft 2 will work in wine ok | 05:29 |
| Kristopher | "This one assumes you are using the Desktop CD. If you are using the Alternate CD"... what is the difference? | 05:29 |
| kgroves42 | well I can't get to a terminal window | 05:29 |
| Viking667 | I'm not sure, frankly. It runs using the Bink engine, doesn't it? | 05:29 |
| bob3213243 | Hey, for some reason my mute button on my laptop stopped working. It pops up and says it muted but it doesn't adjust the volume settings at all. I can go to the mixer and mute it or turn it down. | 05:29 |
| chriswr | bazhang: im getting a newer error now , any ideas? The VirtualBox kernel driver is not accessible to the current user. Make sure that the user has write permissions for /dev/vboxdrv by adding them to the vboxusers groups. You will need to logout for the change to take effect.. | 05:29 |
| chriswr | VBox status code: -1909 (VERR_VM_DRIVER_NOT_ACCESSIBLE). | 05:29 |
| bob3213243 | So I'm thinking there is a disconnect between the volume button software and the actual volume. | 05:29 |
| Flannel | Kristopher: alternate CD isn't a liveCD, it uses debinstall. It's more flexible | 05:29 |
| nickrud | kgroves42 clt-alt-f2 will give you a console, the pre-terminal | 05:29 |
| bazhang | chriswr, the link explains that | 05:29 |
| Flannel | Kristopher: "amd64" is 64 bit (intel/amd), i386 isn't just for intel either. Those are just the standard arch names | 05:29 |
| chriswr | bazhang: oh ok | 05:30 |
| zoreau | could someone tell me what the Default output plugin for audio in XMMS is? i think it somehow got changed | 05:30 |
| d3vlabs | need a css editor | 05:30 |
| d3vlabs | for ubuntu | 05:30 |
| nickrud | zoreau it should be pulse or pulseaudio for hardy | 05:31 |
| zoreau | oh im in gutsy :P | 05:31 |
| nickrud | zoreau set it to esd | 05:31 |
| Viking667 | so, any clues as to what "metapackages" I need? | 05:31 |
| Viking667 | (to ensure a successful upgrade) | 05:31 |
| nickrud | d3vlabs bluefish | 05:31 |
| d3vlabs | thanks | 05:31 |

| jcarouth | does anyone have experience with a logitech usb mic/headset configuration? | 05:32 |
| nickrud | dang, I just got ready to paste that flanneloid back in ;) | 05:32 |
| zoreau | hmmits not working. for some reason XMMS cant play audio, but other media/audio players arefine. | 05:32 |
| buhammot | would anyone know why i cannot perform a "make clean modules" on a driver? i am just getting error messages that are about 10 lines in | 05:32 |
| Fezzler | nickrud: Xlib: extension "GLX" missing on display ":0.0". | 05:32 |
| nickrud | Fezzler hm. lsmod | grep nvidia | 05:32 |
| Viking667 | ahh, right. There it was. | 05:33 |
| jebblue | zoreau on my 7.10 system it is OSS driver 1.2.10 | 05:33 |
| Viking667 | my apologies for not noticing it earlier. I'll go kick that off - I updated yesterday. | 05:33 |
| Fezzler | nickrud: Resolution is now hi res (yea!) except login is 800x600 (:() and glxinfo produces above still | 05:33 |
| zoreau | damn cuz OSS isnt workin either | 05:33 |
| nickrud | Fezzler do lsmod | grep nvidia | 05:33 |
| Kristopher | <Flannel>, well what is a "live cd" ? ;) | 05:33 |
| zoreau | nvm I got it, the ALSA plugin worls | 05:33 |
| Fezzler | nickrud: nvidia 4718832 0 | 05:33 |
| Fezzler | i2c_core 24832 2 nvidia,i2c_viapro | 05:33 |
| Fezzler | agpgart 34760 2 nvidia,via_agp | 05:33 |
| Viking667 | hm. Guess I'd better BOOT the thing first... eh heh heh. | 05:33 |
| axenory | how can I keylock a folder? | 05:34 |
| ZeroOP_ | i was wondering, which is better KDE or Gnome? | 05:34 |
| sysop1972 | I am on a page http://www.reallylinux.com/docs/sambaserver.shtml and they have a GUI program that allows you to modify your samba permission, users, folders.. Anything like that in Ubuntu? | 05:34 |
| jebblue | zoreau cool I"d check into the oss thing on the side tho that should work I think | 05:34 |
| Viking667 | ZeroOP_: that's flamewar material | 05:34 |
| nickrud | Fezzler now give me the /var/log/Xorg.0.log again | 05:34 |
| ZeroOP_ | well, i was thinking about installing KDE to see if i like it | 05:34 |
| ZeroOP_ | since ubuntu comes with gnome | 05:34 |
| zoreau | blasphemy! | 05:34 |
| ZeroOP_ | but i don't know. | 05:34 |
| ZeroOP_ | if i should put forth the effort. | 05:34 |
| Viking667 | ZeroOP_: no reason why you can't. | 05:35 |
| ZeroOP_ | i would have no idea on how to install it. | 05:35 |
| jebblue | zoreau lol | 05:35 |
| ZeroOP_ | and if it's crap, i don't want to bother. | 05:35 |
| Viking667 | I've got Ubuntu on one machine, got Kubuntu on another machine. Wife loves kubuntu | 05:35 |
| nickrud | ZeroOP_ sudo apt-get install kubuntu-desktop, then when you log in, look under options->session on the loging screen | 05:35 |
| Viking667 | I like KDE, but still prefer gnome. | 05:35 |
| Fezzler | nickrud: http://paste.ubuntu.com/28193/ | 05:35 |
| khin | hi, i have this flash drive and apparently cannot reformat it. i tried "sudo fsck.vfat /dev/sdb1" and get "There are differences between boot sector and its backup", so I select "Copy original to backup". Then I get "FATs differ but appear to be intact. Use which FAT?" I select "Use first FAT". Then I get "Free cluster summary wrong" and select "Correct". Then I get "Leaving file system unchanged" and it does nothing | 05:35 |
| Flannel | Viking667: sudo apt-get update && sudo apt-get install ubuntu-desktop ubuntu-standard ubuntu-minimal linux-generic , then change gutsy to hardy in sources.list, then sudo apt-get update && sudo apt-get dist-upgrade | 05:35 |
| ZeroOP_ | that's all there is to it? | 05:35 |
| ZeroOP_ | the apt-get? | 05:35 |
| Viking667 | Flannel: yup. Saw that thanks. | 05:35 |
| Viking667 | just doing so now. | 05:35 |
| nickrud | Fezzler is this a fresh copy? It looks like you're using the nv driver, and we changed that | 05:36 |
| Flannel | Kristopher: a Live CD is where you put a CD in, boot from it, and you run off the CD without touching the computer (and the installer is a program you run) | 05:36 |
| lginn02 | trying to play a dvd but get an error that says' could not read from resource" | 05:37 |
| Fezzler | nickrud: yes fresh | 05:37 |
| kgroves42 | Hi, I am back, and I can't get my panels, to work, Ctr-Alt-F2 worked but I did not get what I should try to get those panels back, also how do I get back to this screen after I hit ctl-Alt-f2? | 05:37 |
| Kristopher | <Flannel> ok, i think i want that one :) can i use the alternate cd as a live cd? i don't want to touch this hardrrive ;) | 05:37 |
| === yamarisu is now known as nenolod | ||
| ZeroOP_ | so if i run that apt-get KDE will be installed? or is there somthing else i need to do? | 05:37 |
| Jyrgazud | Hey, anyone know any resources for getting dual video out working on a T20 in ubuntu or know how to do it? | 05:37 |
| nickrud | Fezzler check your /etc/X11/xorg.conf again, make sure it has nvidia. Then log out and back in. Then give me a fresh copy again | 05:37 |
| nickrud | ZeroOP_ nope, that's all you need to do | 05:38 |
| nickrud | ZeroOP_ except sit back and wait for a large download ;) | 05:38 |
| m-c | Q: Any ideas how to really adjust the buffer size for gstreamer - Totem? I tried raising the "network-buffer-threshold" in the configuration editor, but Totem still plays for two seconds, then buffers, then another two seconds, and buffers... | 05:38 |
| jebblue | kgroves42 hopefully I'm not butting in with Nickrud's help but I think Ctrl Alt F7 should return you | 05:38 |
| bin4y | how do i make my ubuntu an ssh server? | 05:39 |
| Flannel | Kristopher: No, you'd need the desktop CD instead of the alternate CD | 05:39 |
| === gardar is now known as gardar`afk | ||
| Flannel | bin4y: sudo apt-get install openssh-server | 05:39 |
| kgroves42 | thanks | 05:39 |
| ZeroOP_ | i'm waiting now | 05:39 |
| ZeroOP_ | :) | 05:39 |
| ZeroOP_ | thanks for the help | 05:39 |
| ZeroOP_ | ^^ | 05:39 |
| FloodBot1 | ZeroOP_: Please don't flood, use http://paste.ubuntu.com to paste, don't use Enter as punctuation. | 05:39 |
| bin4y | Flannel, and then? | 05:39 |
| nickrud | jebblue missed it, thanks. kgroves42 in ctl-atl-f2 , do gconftool --recursive-unset /apps/panel | 05:39 |
| Flannel | bin4y: then... you're done. | 05:39 |
| ZeroOP_ | oh, i can't type like i normally do. | 05:39 |
| Kristopher | ok, i guess i will have to download that one :) (live cd) | 05:39 |
| Viking667 | I've got this error here: W: GPG error: http://nz.archive.ubuntu.com hardy-security Release: The following signatures were invalid: BADSIG 40976EAF437D05B5 Ubuntu Archive Automatic Signing Key <ftpmaster@ubuntu.com> | 05:40 |
| ZeroOP_ | lol | 05:40 |
| bin4y | Flannel, really? no configuration and stuffs? | 05:40 |
| lginn02 | what does the error " could not read from resource" mean when im trying to play a dvd??? | 05:40 |
| nickrud | ZeroOP_ if you mean the password, it doesn't echo your keystrokes back. Type blindly ;) | 05:40 |
| kgroves42 | thanks I will try it | 05:40 |
| ZeroOP_ | no i ment the flood bod | 05:40 |
| ZeroOP_ | bot | 05:40 |
| chriswr | how would i give user permission to this file /dev/vboxdrv? | 05:40 |
| Flannel | bin4y: Already all set up for what most people want (on most packages, anyway). | 05:40 |
| jebblue | nickrud how do you mentally track so many conversations? I'd go nuts :-) | 05:40 |
| ZeroOP_ | i have a tendancy to write many short lines instead of one long one | 05:40 |
| Flannel | bin4y: Only other thing you might need to do is router stuff, but that's just port forwarding, not really something that's Linux specific | 05:41 |
| Flannel | ZeroOP_: You'll get used to it. | 05:41 |
| nickrud | jebblue normally I just pick one and stick with it. Tonight I'm working in memory of rob2 (who would run like 20 at once) and trying for 3 ;) | 05:41 |
| ZeroOP_ | so this is my 3rd day with Ubuntu and i love it :) | 05:41 |
| ZeroOP_ | i'm fresh from Vista/XP | 05:41 |
| jcarouth | where should i start trying to debug sound configuration problems? i have a logitech usb headset (headphones/mic) and can hear output from microphone in speakers when testing in System > Preferences > Sounds but will not record in Audacity | 05:41 |
| m-c | ZeroOP_: Welcome to the new. How did you hear about Ubuntu? | 05:42 |
| jebblue | nickrud what happened to rod2? | 05:42 |
| chriswr | what is the command to give user permission to this file /dev/vboxdrv? | 05:42 |
| nickrud | jebblue burnout I think. | 05:42 |
| Viking667 | lol. I'm glad I cleaned out the packages.... only 364MB to download, instead of 889 Mb that zoombuggy had for EACH of her two distupgrades | 05:42 |
| jebblue | ah | 05:42 |
| ZeroOP_ | my friend tried it, liked it, told me to try it. and he trashed it yesterday and went back to XP | 05:42 |
| m-c | jcarouth: Check the mic is not muted | 05:42 |
| jebblue | sorry rob2 | 05:42 |
| lginn02 | what does the error " could not read from resource" mean when im trying to play a dvd??? | 05:42 |
| nickrud | jebblue or, moved on to another project. He was special | 05:42 |
| buhammot | any reason from a fresh ubuntu hardy install that it wont perform a make operation on a r8169 driver? | 05:42 |
| nickrud | lginn02 what player? | 05:43 |
| Viking667 | lginn02: normally means the program couldn't read fromthe dvd | 05:43 |
| lginn02 | totem | 05:43 |
| nickrud | lginn02 never liked totem for dvd's. Install vlc, and try playing with that | 05:43 |
| ZeroOP_ | but i should never need windows again :) | 05:43 |
| ZeroOP_ | i don't really play games these days | 05:43 |
| Jyrgazud | vlc is pretty good:) | 05:43 |
| ZeroOP_ | i just blog and work on my book :) | 05:43 |
| Viking667 | I can't seem to get ANY player to treat my files properly - Radeon driver, whether I use wxvlc, totem, or whatever. | 05:44 |
| lginn02 | i was trying to use k9copy but cant figure it out. it a dvd copy program | 05:44 |
| nickrud | I hated vlc, it used to have this really ugly interface, violated my eyes. I'm glad they changed | 05:44 |
| Viking667 | Only one I haven't tried yet is mplayer, and that's 'cos I don't have it | 05:44 |
| lginn02 | i have a player called xine | 05:45 |
| Fezzler | nickrud: Screen look nice but still getting Error: couldn't find RGB GLX visual | 05:45 |
| Fezzler | Xlib: extension "GLX" missing on display ":0.0". | 05:45 |
| nickrud | lginn02 that's another good player. Don't like the interface much, but it plays well | 05:45 |
| m-c | Viking667: What kind of files? Have you tried Ogg media files? | 05:45 |
| nickrud | Fezzler gedit /var/log/Xorg.0.log, show me that | 05:45 |
| Fezzler | nickrud: xorg report nvisia | 05:45 |
| lginn02 | crap i get the same simalar error | 05:46 |
| lginn02 | it cant read it | 05:46 |
| Viking667 | m-c: the error isn't with the actual files themselves, as they play fine on a vesa-based machine (K6-II@533, Trident Cyberblade/i7 (non-3D) | 05:46 |
| nickrud | lginn02 install vlc , and run it from the terminal. then try opening the dvd, you'll get some errors if it won't play. Put them on paste.ubuntu.com | 05:46 |
| lginn02 | its a new dvd just watched it living rm | 05:46 |
| rustychicken | anybody know of a tool to calibrate wacom tablets? | 05:47 |
| Fezzler | nickrud: http://paste.ubuntu.com/28194/ | 05:47 |
| Viking667 | my problem is either: colourspace is proper, but the file plays at like 1/10th speed, or it plays quickly enough, but the colourspace is all washed out. | 05:47 |
| Viking667 | Doesn't seem to matter what output driver (for video) that I use. | 05:47 |
| Kristopher | the Desktop cd works as a 'live cd' *and* can install ubuntu onto the harddrive? | 05:47 |

| nickrud | Fezzler you're still using the nv driver. You can see it all over the log. | 05:47 |
| nickrud | Fezzler put a copy of the xorg.conf up as well | 05:48 |
| Viking667 | nickrud: ask him which xorg.conf he is using. | 05:48 |
| Viking667 | that's shown in Xorg.0.log | 05:48 |
| nickrud | Viking667 that's what I'm wondering :) | 05:48 |

| muaddib | Hey all | 05:51 |
| muaddib | question | 05:51 |
| Viking667 | Try it for six months straight, alternating each day with Gnome. | 05:51 |
| Viking667 | THAT'LL really twist your whisker | 05:51 |
| muaddib | What package do I need to look at to configure the soft buttons on a laptop | 05:51 |
| nickrud | kgroves42 very weird. Somehow gnome-panel must have dropped out of your gnome-session settings | 05:51 |
| Viking667 | uhm, I jkust saw that too. | 05:52 |
| muaddib | like volume control and the DVD button or screen rotation | 05:52 |
| Viking667 | search for "hotkeys" | 05:52 |
| kgroves42 | that does not sound good | 05:52 |
| ZeroOP | i'm clearly going to pick one :) | 05:52 |
| Viking667 | I can't search at the moment, apt 's all locked up doing an upgrade | 05:52 |
| nickrud | kgroves42 it's fixable, let me think a sec | 05:52 |
| ZeroOP | but i like how much sharper KDE looks. | 05:52 |
| Viking667 | ZeroOP: right. Then find out how to do the same thing in Gnome. There's a vidtool in the Control Center to show how fonts look. | 05:53 |
| jebblue | exit | 05:53 |

| nickrud | Fezzler I"ve got some reading on bulletproof X on my list, but haven't got there yert | 05:54 |
| sps` | I have a question about installing a print driver. | 05:54 |
| nickrud | kgroves42 you do get icons on the desktop, right? | 05:54 |
| kgroves42 | nickrud- yes | 05:55 |
| Fezzler | nickrud: give me one more wild idea to try before I call it quits tonight | 05:55 |
| kgroves42 | and my IM starts | 05:55 |
| buhammot | so.. no one knows a crap about networking here? | 05:55 |
| nickrud | kgroves42 in ctl-alt-f2, run sudo apt-get install nautilus-open-terminal , then when you log in open a file manager window and right click in a blank spot. You'll see open terminal here. That will get a terminal | 05:56 |
| nickrud | Fezzler reboot | 05:56 |
| bin4y | this package-installar is not closing, how do i force close it? | 05:56 |
| nickrud | bin4y which one? | 05:56 |
| ZeroOP | Viking667: i was fiddling with fonts, the box that lets you choose "subpixel shading" and all that stuff | 05:56 |
| ZeroOP | Viking667: right? | 05:57 |
| bin4y | nickrud, It has Package Installer written on its title | 05:57 |
| Fezzler | nickrud: Why not! BRB | 05:57 |
| ZeroOP | but i'll be flipping back and forth between the two for a while | 05:57 |
| ZeroOP | :) | 05:57 |
| ZeroOP | I have a debating process to do | 05:57 |
| Viking667 | yup. | 05:57 |
| Viking667 | That's the one | 05:57 |
| nickrud | bin4y hm, how did you open it? (the name doesn't ring any bells for me) | 05:57 |
| Viking667 | ZeroOP: sorry, am shuffling three things | 05:57 |
| Viking667 | but yes, that's exactly the tool I was thinking of. | 05:58 |
| rafaelscj | hi, how do I to connect to an ad-hoc network? | 05:58 |
| bin4y | nickrud, i clicked a .deb file and it started downloading things. i cancelled the download and it's not closing, it's grayed | 05:58 |
| nickrud | bin4y alt-f2 , killall gdebi | 05:58 |
| ZeroOP | i did fiddle with it :) | 05:58 |
| nickrud | bin4y then, after you do that, open a terminal and type apt-get -f install | 05:59 |
| nickrud | bin4y sudo apt-get -f install that is | 05:59 |
| ZeroOP | although Konkueror has to go | 05:59 |
| ZeroOP | :) | 05:59 |
| Viking667 | replace THAT with Dolphin | 05:59 |

| ZeroOP | i've been using firefox for internet | 05:59 |

| _xyz | ok | 06:05 |
| Viking667 | _xyz: ls -al /your/dir | 06:05 |
| Fezzler | GeForce FX 5500 APG | 06:05 |
| giacom1 | you are trying to remove i directory _xyz | 06:05 |
| giacom1 | ? | 06:05 |
| kgroves42 | YEA! I can get to my panel- Thanks alot nickrud | 06:05 |
| nickrud | Fezzler doesn't that use nvidia-glx ? (although I've seen other people have problems with 5500) | 06:05 |
| _xyz | ok | 06:05 |
| khin | why can i not reformat this flash drive | 06:05 |
| khin | is this drive just shot at the hardware level | 06:06 |
| giacom1 | rm -r will remove your directory | 06:06 |
| Fezzler | nickrud: I'll try another | 06:06 |
| am_ | hello! everybody! | 06:06 |
| giacom1 | does anyone know how to revert pidgin to 2.3.1 from 2.4.1? | 06:06 |
| axscode | hi i wanted to ask.. whats the command to check which interface is active... | 06:06 |
| Fezzler | nickrud: shall we remove legacy and try something else? | 06:06 |
| nickrud | Fezzler I'm almost certain it's nvidia-glx, not -legacy or new | 06:06 |
| Madsy | khin: fsck is pretty picky about the partitions | 06:06 |
| axscode | like in BSD, there's a status: Active | 06:07 |
| Fezzler | nickrud: command line to remove legacy | 06:07 |
| khin | Madsy i just want to wipe out the drive and start over | 06:07 |
| _xyz | Viking667, what does 'ls -al /your/dir' do besides list the files? | 06:07 |
| giacom1 | does anyone know how to revert pidgin to a version that isn't in the aptitude? | 06:07 |
| rafaelscj | How Do I do to connect to a wireless network? | 06:07 |
| Viking667 | _xyz: uhm,, gee? Show you what files you need to remove? | 06:07 |
| _xyz | viking667, so i need to delete them one by one thru terminal? | 06:08 |
| Viking667 | If you want to remove those files too, then giacom1's suggestion holds true | 06:08 |
| nickrud | Fezzler sudo apt-get remove --purge nvidia-glx-legacy && sudo modprobe -r nvidia should remove all refs to legacy | 06:08 |
| Viking667 | i.e. rm -r /your/dir | 06:08 |
| giacom1 | _xyz: under the command line, do rm -r | 06:08 |
| _xyz | ok thanks | 06:08 |
| giacom1 | you will remove the whole directory | 06:08 |
| m_newton__ | some one say something bout me | 06:08 |
| Viking667 | you MUST make sure, deletes are not generally recoverable. | 06:08 |
| * Viking667 flicks the fly | 06:08 | |

| Fezzler | nickrud: so I guess modprob produced it | 06:15 |

| spanther | how to remove "totem" (videoplayer in gnome menu) completely? | 06:21 |
| CakeProphet | Totem, Rhythmbox, VLC, and a bunch that I installed for just a little bit to try but are no longer on my system. | 06:21 |
| CakeProphet | spanther: open up a terminal and type "sudo apt-get remove totem" | 06:21 |
| khin | well i repartitioned using gparted and apparently the drive is a-ok | 06:21 |
| jasonago | CakeProphet: try running the hardware tests...maybe your sound device is not working... | 06:21 |
| chriswr | what are shell scripts? | 06:21 |
| CakeProphet | spanther: it will ask for your password... type that in and hit enter | 06:21 |
| owen1 | where can i get retune (for sync my ipod)? | 06:21 |
| spanther | CakeProphet, i did that but i still can find an entry for "videoplayer" which opens totem in the menu | 06:21 |
| m-c | CakeProphet: Try running 'aplay <wavefile.wav>' in the command line | 06:22 |
| cnoe | i want to start a new session everytime i use xfce4, but i accidently saved one and now even if i start a new session, it goes to another | 06:22 |
| spanther | CakeProphet, and totem still opens :/ | 06:22 |
| CakeProphet | jasonago: hardware tests as in the ones in system-preferences? already did that... they work. | 06:22 |
| Fezzler | nickrud: Okay. My login page is 800x600 but my GNOME is 1224x768 | 06:22 |
| CakeProphet | spanther: ....oh wait lawl... I actually have this problem too. I tried to remove totem and it still exists. | 06:22 |
| CakeProphet | ... | 06:22 |
| spanther | CakeProphet, lool :) | 06:22 |
| spanther | how to fix it then xD | 06:22 |
| nickrud | Fezzler and what about glxinfo? | 06:22 |
| CakeProphet | spanther: try add-remove programs in applications | 06:23 |
| jasonago | chriswr: they are bunch of commands grouped into a file...somewhat batch file in windows/dos... | 06:23 |
| CakeProphet | I'm going to do that now. | 06:23 |
| nickrud | Fezzler 1224x768 sounds .... odd | 06:23 |
| m-c | why would you remove totem... ? | 06:23 |
| Seven_Six_Two | spanther, which totoem | 06:23 |
| Viking667 | yeah | 06:23 |
| CakeProphet | m-c, because we use a different player? | 06:23 |
| Viking667 | 1280x768 | 06:23 |
| Fezzler | nickrud: Error: couldn't find RGB GLX visual | 06:23 |
| m-c | CakeProphet: not necessary to remove totem for that | 06:23 |
| Fezzler | nickrud: Xlib: extension "GLX" missing on display ":0.0". | 06:23 |
| nickrud | Fezzler I'm at a loss then. | 06:23 |
| Viking667 | hehehehehe. There goes the upgrade... | 06:24 |
| Viking667 | I'm glad I left space now. | 06:24 |
| CakeProphet | m-c, no use having a player you never use. That's why I got rid of mplayer | 06:24 |
| Fezzler | nickrud: last message is repeated 9 times | 06:24 |
| m-c | but Totem is part of the default supported system | 06:24 |
| m-c | and it takes no memory when not in use, and little disk space | 06:24 |
| Fezzler | nickrud: thanks for trying | 06:24 |
| CakeProphet | m-c, so is a lot of things that I don't use. | 06:24 |
| spanther | weird Oo when i remove totem and libs of it then it wants to remove deskbar-applet too o.o | 06:25 |
| nickrud | Fezzler I'm totally at the end of my guesses. That's about all I've been doing for a while now, sorry | 06:25 |

| CakeProphet | m-c, I was having problems with my sound before I removed totem. Though it could be related. | 06:25 |
| Viking667 | I wanted to remove some stuff, but then get told "Oh, I'm removing this and that and this too, do you want me to continue" andI say, what the HEY? | 06:25 |
| khin | mplayer is the best video player IMO... i never use anything else | 06:26 |
| jasonago | spanther: that's what happende to my old kubuntu install...I removed firefox2 so i can install firefox3...the result? it removed the other programs with the same dependencies as of firefox...so I reinstalled hardy ubuntu...not kubuntu...heheh | 06:26 |
| m-c | CakeProphet: Worst case, you can back up /home and perform a reinstallation | 06:26 |
| Viking667 | I prefer mplayer. But it has issues working across a network. | 06:26 |
| CakeProphet | m-c, .wavs don't work either. | 06:26 |
| Viking667 | i.e. I can't use anything other than X drivers | 06:26 |
| m-c | khin: mplayer has codec libraries that may not be legal in some places | 06:27 |
| CakeProphet | m-c, (in regards to aplay) | 06:27 |
| CakeProphet | I don't have a sound card... and my speakers are just external speakers that I've got plugged into the audio out. | 06:27 |
| m-c | CakeProphet: It could be that the default card is not set right in alsa. | 06:27 |
| m-c | CakeProphet: Did aplay give you an error? | 06:27 |
| khin | m-c 90% of my drive is not legal in some places | 06:27 |
| spanther | jasonago, well this happens to hardy too :( apt does not care if these libs are needed for other applications (synaptics doesn't show a warning for it) so thats mean :( | 06:27 |
| abchirk | is there a command which shows the ram usage I mean not like htop in %. I mean how much mb one program is using? | 06:28 |
| Ahadiel | abchirk, top? | 06:28 |
| jasonago | CakeProphet: it looks like that is the problem...maybe try experimenting if oss alsa or others work... | 06:28 |
| CakeProphet | m-c, ah wait... it's working. | 06:28 |

| jasonago | spanther: maybe we should report this to ubuntu...this is not a funny thing...if we remove a program, the library and its helper dependencies should not be removed if other programs still depends on it... | 06:30 |

| Flannel | spanther: When you mark them for removal, it should pop up saying "these other things will be removed too" | 06:34 |

| blimey85 | is it true that Ubuntu has poor hardware support? I keep hearing that people have a hard time getting it to install on some stuff. I'm using it on SliceHost and have had no issues but they probably choose hardware that works really well with it. | 07:15 |

| Viking667 | seems pretty stalled to me. | 07:26 |
| blimey85 | paolo - yes it's possible. you can list unstable repositories in your sources list and they'll get pulled in... or you can download and install a .deb file manually, or of course install from source | 07:27 |
| blimey85 | what's the command to check the current Ubuntu version? | 07:27 |
| Seven_Six_Two | paolo, it might be. I don't know about that program's dependencies or what it does. | 07:27 |
| blimey85 | isn't it lsb -l or something like that | 07:27 |
| Viking667 | blimey85: uname -a or check inside /etc/issue | 07:27 |
| jeeves__ | Seven_Six_Two, ok, where in the GUI is it? | 07:27 |
| blimey85 | thank you! | 07:27 |
| Seshuan | Would xfire work in wine? | 07:28 |
| blimey85 | it's rebooting. | 07:28 |
| paolo | blimey85: thanks for your reply. if I add unstable repositories, how do i chose the version I want? would by default give the most unstable? | 07:28 |
| NoName86 | alright i got the same prob just now..... | 07:28 |
| NoName86 | .i checked the top | 07:28 |
| NoName86 | and i coundnt find any process running in high memory | 07:28 |
| paolo | Seven_Six_Two: it doesn't really matter what it does. My question is, how can I have that particular versoin, without having to download the .deb by hand | 07:28 |
| blimey85 | paolo - if you are doing it through apt (using sources list) then you'll get the newest version. You can always download the .deb or source for the program and do it that way too... | 07:28 |
| NoName86 | im wondering will it be the musix application cause the problem | 07:28 |
| blimey85 | paolo - do you need a particular version or the very latest? | 07:29 |
| paolo | blimey85: the very last would be good | 07:29 |
| jeeves__ | Seven_Six_Two, and I don't have a "firewire" group | 07:29 |
| energy | help | 07:29 |
| paolo | blimey85: so you are saying that if I try to do it through apt, the whole system would be intrepid right? | 07:30 |
| energy | ** ERROR **: Failure while preparing statement, (error=1, table itemsets has no column named parent_node_id) SQL: "INSERT INTO itemsets (item_id,parent_item_id,node_id,parent_node_id,read,comment) VALUES (?,?,?,?,?,?)" | 07:30 |
| energy | aborting... | 07:30 |
| energy | Aborted | 07:30 |
| energy | liferea | 07:30 |
| energy | ? | 07:30 |
| blimey85 | paolo - find a source for the latest version and add that to your sources list... then when you do "apt-get upgrade" you should pull in the newest version | 07:30 |
| andycan | When will be the 2.6.25.xx kernel released under repos? | 07:30 |
| nano_ | Flannel: bro, i have tried but I still get different results from running "groups" vs "groups myname" | 07:31 |
| Seven_Six_Two | jeeves__, might just be video group. I don't know because I don't have firewire | 07:31 |
| ndlovu | I'm trying to delete a directory structure over ftp with something like 2000 files using gftp. it's a painfully slow process - any faster ways without shell access? | 07:31 |
| blimey85 | paolo - it depends on the source you add... if you have one just for that, then no. If you change one of the major sources in your list then maybe... for example, if you change from Hardy to Intrepid, it's going to pull a lot of new packages | 07:31 |
| sniff | can i safely update running kernel (2.6.24-19-generic to same version) with adept, without rebooting? i want libs and apps upgraded, but don't want to reboot because current kernel is running nicely | 07:31 |
| DistroJockey | jeeves__, neither do I. If you click your username and choose properties then User Privileges, you should see ticks in most boxes, you could try ticking the ones that aren't | 07:31 |
| jeeves__ | DistroJockey, nm, I'll just run it as root | 07:31 |
| paolo | blimey85: I am still not sure I understand. This is what I want http://packages.ubuntu.com/intrepid/unison . How do I find a source only for that package? | 07:31 |
| DistroJockey | jeeves__, if everything is unticked, close the Users and Groups thing and reopen it | 07:31 |
| intravenous | server slashnet | 07:31 |
| DistroJockey | jeeves__, try and find a way not to if you can | 07:32 |

| pbp | If I don't have a stable internet connection and wants to install packages manually, how can I ensure that the dependencies are taken care of | 07:32 |
| nano_ | I get different results when I run "groups" vs "groups myname"...does anybody know what could cause this? | 07:32 |
| sniff | pbp: apt-get first downloads all and _then_ installs | 07:32 |
| ndlovu | can I upload a php script that will do the job easier? | 07:33 |
| DistroJockey | jeeves__, I noticed a bug when I checked my User Privileges (nothing was ticked, so I closed and reopened and most things were ticked) | 07:33 |
| jeeves__ | DistroJockey, everything is ticked here | 07:33 |
| pbp | sniff: but i want to know all the dependencies so tha it can be downloaded separately and installed | 07:33 |
| shashi__ | I have created a partition by using GParted in Ubuntu 8.04 . I would like to include that partition in /etc/fstab, and i would like to include by using UUID (like how Ubuntu does) . If i specify UUID in /etc/fstab file, and if issue "mount -a" command, i am getting the error "mount: special device /dev/disk/by-uuid/0fc296ce-6376-4ecc-952d-48e99ae5604d does not exist" . Anyone tell me what i am missing ? | 07:34 |
| jeeves__ | DistroJockey, ok, on to the MP3 player. | 07:34 |
| blimey85 | Viking667 - I'm up... it shows 7.10... wouldn't let me ssh immediately for some reason... took a couple minutes and then showed it had been up for 5 minutes... but everything seems to be working | 07:34 |
| DistroJockey | jeeves__, k. In that post I mention it did mention directory permissions. Might want to look at that sometime | 07:34 |
| jeeves__ | DistroJockey, idealy, I'd like to just mount it like a regular drive | 07:34 |
| Flannel | pbp: apt-cache showpkg [package] | 07:34 |

| jm2k | What is the recommended MySQL "long_query_time" time? I know default is 10 secs but isn't 10 secs too long? | 07:35 |
| jeeves__ | DistroJockey, I was looking on the forums, and since it's a Philips GoGear, there is some messed up way of attaching to it. | 07:35 |
| Viking667 | blimey85: good one. Now time to kick off the next upgrade. | 07:35 |
| Flannel | jm2k: You'll be better off asking in #mysql | 07:35 |
| Viking667 | But I guess you know that already | 07:35 |
| blimey85 | yea, starting it right now | 07:35 |
| adred | hi my box couldn't read FAT partition, what should i do? my files are stored there :( | 07:36 |
| jm2k | Flannel: i did ask, no response. | 07:36 |
| pbp | flannel, sniff: thanks for that info | 07:36 |
| DistroJockey | jeeves__, for fstab you need to either get the /dev/???? from sudo fdisk -l or the UUID from sudo blkid | 07:36 |
| Viking667 | I'm still awaiting localedef | 07:37 |
| paolo | blimey85: any hint? | 07:37 |
| sniff | but talking about dependencies, is my system safe without rebooting if i apt-get upgrade running kernel with newer package but which is of same version? | 07:37 |
| jeeves__ | DistroJockey, well, fdisk only shows the mounted drives | 07:37 |
| DistroJockey | jeeves__, it will show connected drives, even if not mounted | 07:37 |
| adred | hi my box couldn't read FAT partition, what should i do? my files are stored there :( | 07:37 |
| Viking667 | now, what the heck could be holding up locales? It's been sitting metaphorically twiddling it's thumbs for over 40 minutes. | 07:38 |

| Seven_Six_Two | jeeves__, oh sorry I forgot it was the philips. what output does dmesg give when you plug it in? | 07:41 |
| DistroJockey | jeeves__, also saw mention of installing something called gnomad that solved the persons problem | 07:41 |
| Viking667 | .... huh? Even a "kill -9 <pid> doesn't kill it. | 07:41 |
| Eonoo | Viking667: Error: No closing quotation | 07:41 |
| Viking667 | yeah, I know. Sorry. I'll correct it, just to suit your neat bot heart. | 07:41 |
| jeeves__ | DistroJockey, gnomad made a mess out of my system, and crashed my player. I had to reflash it with a proper firmware (through windows), and then move my songs back! LOL | 07:42 |
| spoo1 | Seven_Six_Two all it asked me was stuff about the keyboard | 07:42 |
| DistroJockey | jeeves__, ouch | 07:42 |
| jeeves__ | Seven_Six_Two, one sec. I'll paste bin it | 07:43 |
| Seven_Six_Two | spoo1, it didn't ask for a resolution? | 07:43 |
| spoo1 | nope | 07:43 |
| spoo1 | Seven_Six_Two nope | 07:43 |
| Viking667 | I killed the parent process in the end... | 07:43 |
| DistroJockey | jeeves__, sorry, I better stop suggesting stuff then as I can't test it | 07:43 |
| Seven_Six_Two | spoo1, ouch. looks like you need to start reading | 07:43 |

| jeeves__ | Seven_Six_Two, did you see that pastebin post? | 07:45 |
| jeeves__ | DistroJockey, http://www.pastebin.ca/1075209 | 07:45 |
| spoo1 | Seven_Six_Two, why would it work fine on the live CD but not after install? | 07:45 |
| blimey85 | Viking667: did you just say you killed something during your upgrade? | 07:45 |
| Seven_Six_Two | jeeves__, yeah. and your device looks unsupported to me... | 07:45 |
| Viking667 | yeah. Had to kill a "locale-def" | 07:45 |
| blimey85 | sorry I was only half paying attention... trying to do five things at once while keeping an eye on my own upgrade | 07:45 |
| Viking667 | but I wouldn't normally have to do that. | 07:45 |
| jeeves__ | Seven_Six_Two, once again... Philips can't play nice. LOL. | 07:45 |
| blimey85 | which version are you currently on? | 07:46 |
| Viking667 | me? Currently upgrading TO hardy. | 07:46 |
| Seven_Six_Two | spoo1, I don't know, but It happened to me although I keep a backup of my xorg.conf now | 07:46 |
| Viking667 | the packages are downloaded and installed, now it's configuring. | 07:46 |
| gukkels | Hi! Can anyone give me link on something like "STEP-BY-STEP HOWTO - how to tranfer existing ubuntu on new larger drive"? I suspect it is trivial task, but I found nothing on google. | 07:46 |
| spoo1 | Seven_Six_Two, that sounds like a good idea.... | 07:46 |
| spoo1 | Seven_Six_Two, would that help with a RAM issue also? | 07:47 |
| Seven_Six_Two | jeeves__, I had a cheap philips webcam that I never got working either. I took it apart to see what was inside. | 07:47 |
| DistroJockey | jeeves__, may not fix it, but I found this: http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=605461 | 07:47 |
| Seven_Six_Two | spoo1, you can ask, but I don't know a lot about it | 07:48 |
| jeeves__ | Seven_Six_Two, that's too bad. it's a nice 8gb unit. I'd REALLY like to make it work. then my switch from microcrap to Ubuntu will be worth it! | 07:48 |
| blimey85 | it's a shame not everything can be upgraded this way. | 07:48 |
| jeeves__ | DistroJockey, thanks, one sec, I'll look | 07:48 |
| mudonirc | hi all | 07:48 |
| DistroJockey | gukkels, first you will need a live cd with gparted on it | 07:48 |
| blimey85 | for example, I'd love to be able to apt-upgrade joomla | 07:48 |
| spoo1 | Seven_Six_Two, since I installed Ubuntu it has show that I only have 256 Mib of RAM but in fact I have 1 GiB installed and my BIOS reads it | 07:48 |
| DistroJockey | gukkels, as you can't copy the partition you are running from | 07:48 |
| forztl | does anyone have a workaround for using the scroll wheel in the gnome workspace switcher with compiz? | 07:50 |
| jeeves__ | DistroJockey, nope, no help | 07:50 |
| DistroJockey | gukkels, then you would use gparted to copy the partition to the new drive (then resize it bigger) and make a swap partition. Then install grub and fix /etc/fstab to set the right UUID's. Maybe not the easyest way looking at that :) | 07:50 |
| Seven_Six_Two | spoo1, dunno sorrry | 07:50 |
| DistroJockey | jeeves__, *nods* | 07:51 |
| spoo1 | Seven_Six_Two, no problem thanks anyway | 07:53 |

| ubottu | envyng is an updated version of the *UNSUPPORTED* envy package. It is now part of the ubuntu universe repository (envyng-gtk OR envyng-qt) and has community support. As an early version, its results may vary but this should be used over the unsupported envy package. | 07:56 |

| webbi | ompaul, how that help? | 08:01 |
| Ham1979 | I wanted to install xwindows and did kubunutu instead of ubuntu | 08:01 |
| kaiwen | your xorg.conf should be in teh directory /etc/X11 | 08:01 |
| Ham1979 | I thought I had removed it but the kubuntu log in comes up when the system restarts | 08:01 |
| kaiwen | Ham | 08:02 |
| kaiwen | that has to do with the kdm | 08:02 |
| webbi | ompaul, is there anyway to know how that device is called in /dev/ ? | 08:02 |
| Ham1979 | hmmm | 08:02 |
| kaiwen | you can switch it with dpkg-reconfigure kdm | 08:02 |
| kaiwen | try that ;)_ | 08:02 |
| Ham1979 | thanks | 08:02 |
| kaiwen | are you talking about just the login screen? | 08:02 |
| DistroJockey | Ham1979, check what is listed when you click Sessions at the login screen | 08:03 |
| kaiwen | if that's so, you can change it do the gdm login screen doing that | 08:03 |
| kaiwen | if you want to switch to Xwindows session you have to do what DistroJockey suggested | 08:03 |
| Ham1979 | it says Gnome(Previous) but nothing happens when I click | 08:03 |
| kaiwen | type it in terminal ham | 08:03 |
| kaiwen | sudo dpkg-reconfigure kdm | 08:03 |
| Ham1979 | default display kdm or gdm what does that mean? | 08:03 |

| Flannel | roxygirl: You could use any programming language to make a variety of types of UIs. There may be some pre-fam "form" sort of thing, but I'm not aware of one. You might ask in #mysql or #postgres or something similar if they have any tools | 08:10 |

| kaiwen | ok | 08:16 |
| kaiwen | spoo1 try this first | 08:16 |
| Viking667 | Time I headed into a reconfigure of locales, I think. | 08:16 |
| Ham1979 | i think i must have 2 gnomes installed as yesterday i added icons on my desktop and now xubuntu is empty | 08:16 |
| schone | i just used GParted to format a drive to ext3. But for some reason I can not seem to find it any more? Any tips to have it showing? | 08:16 |
| Viking667 | uh. Install hasn't yet finished. darn. | 08:16 |
| kaiwen | go to terminal and do this: sudo dpkg-reconfigure xserver-xorg | 08:17 |
| Viking667 | gotta wait. | 08:17 |
| kaiwen | and see if that helps, the instruction should be noob friendly | 08:17 |
| kaiwen | but, there is a catch, make sure the driver is vesa | 08:17 |
| DistroJockey | schone, sounds like the UUID changed. If you were using fstab to mount it before that is | 08:17 |
| schone | Distrojockey : I just looked at the status in GParted it doesn't seem to be mounted anymore | 08:18 |
| schone | Is there a quick way to mount it? | 08:18 |
| DistroJockey | schone, did you have to manually mount it before formatting, or was it automatic? | 08:18 |
| schone | it found it automatically ( well GParted did ) but I couldnt actually mount it or view it (NTFS before) | 08:19 |
| spoo1 | Kaiwen, it was the same as what I did earlier | 08:19 |
| kaiwen | really | 08:19 |
| kaiwen | ok open xorg.conf | 08:19 |
| DistroJockey | schone, you can mkdir a place to mount it, then mount /dev/xxxx /place/to/mount/to | 08:19 |
| DistroJockey | schone, sudo mount that is ^ | 08:20 |
| kaiwen | spoo1; scroll down until you find something that says "Default Screen" | 08:20 |
| blimey85 | how would one install the latest PHP on Hardy? Is there a source for the latest php releases? | 08:20 |
| DistroJockey | schone, you need to replace /dev/xxxx with what the devices name is | 08:21 |
| kaiwen | under that tell me what is under Modes | 08:21 |
| kaiwen | under the subsection "Display" | 08:21 |
| vixy_fox | Evening everyone. I'm having an issue with Second Life running poorly in Ubuntu 8.04, and I tried looking up for a solution online but couldn't find any. I was wondering if anyone might know how I can get a better performance out of it? (Sorry if this is not the place to ask) | 08:21 |
| DistroJockey | schone, or mount it using gparted? | 08:21 |
| Ham1979 | kaiwen was this for mesudo dpkg-reconfigure xserver-xorg | 08:21 |
| kaiwen | Ham, no | 08:22 |
| kaiwen | Ham, tell me what you are trying to do overall | 08:22 |
| kaiwen | Ham, are you just trying to change the login screen? or the session type | 08:22 |
| Ham1979 | I take it I have gnome and xubuntu installed then | 08:23 |
| Ham1979 | which look similar? | 08:23 |
| ompaul | done | 08:23 |
| kaiwen | hmm? | 08:23 |
| kaiwen | Ham, can you tell me what you are trying to do though? | 08:23 |
| timmytron | whoa.. | 08:23 |
| spoo1 | Section "Screen" | 08:23 |
| spoo1 | Identifier"Default Screen" | 08:23 |
| spoo1 | Monitor"Configured Monitor" | 08:23 |
| spoo1 | Device"Configured Video Device" | 08:23 |
| spoo1 | EndSection | 08:23 |
| FloodBot2 | spoo1: Please don't flood, use http://paste.ubuntu-nl.org to paste, don't use Enter as punctuation. | 08:23 |
| kaiwen | ok it seems to not detect ur monitor | 08:24 |
| Ham1979 | I just want xwindows (gnome) to start when the pc reboots. I set up all my desktop icons yesterday but now I have reconfigured kdm xubuntu has started and my desktop is blank and no thunderbird | 08:24 |
| kaiwen | what's the main resolution you want spoo1? | 08:24 |
| spoo1 | 1366x768 | 08:25 |
| kaiwen | Ham, that makes it easier, go to sessions at the login and choose gnome | 08:25 |
| blimey85 | does anyone know the target release timeframe for Intrepid? | 08:25 |
| kaiwen | ok spoo1 if that is the resolution do the following: | 08:25 |
| blimey85 | and is Ubuntu going to do a cross-promo with Dodge? lol | 08:25 |
| DistroJockey | blimey85, October | 08:25 |
| blimey85 | thanks | 08:26 |
| DistroJockey | np | 08:26 |
| Flannel | blimey85: https://wiki.ubuntu.com/IntrepidReleaseSchedule more questions in #ubuntu+1 | 08:26 |
| Ham1979 | thanks | 08:26 |
| kaiwen | After the device line | 08:26 |
| kaiwen | Ham does it work? | 08:26 |
| vixy_fox | Was wondering if anyone had a solution to Second Life client having poor FPS when running in Ubuntu 8.04? | 08:27 |
| kaiwen | spoo1: press enter and type the follow : SubSection "Display" | 08:27 |
| DistroJockey | vixy_fox, tried turning off Desktop Effects? | 08:27 |
| spoo1 | kaiwen, where at? | 08:28 |
| kaiwen | press enter then tab, next type in: modes "1366x768" | 08:28 |
| spoo1 | in terminal? | 08:28 |
| kaiwen | read what i typpe | 08:28 |
| kaiwen | no at xorg.conf | 08:28 |
| vixy_fox | DistroJockey: Concidering my system specs I would hope I would not have to | 08:28 |
| spoo1 | ok | 08:28 |
| kaiwen | at the place where i told you to find | 08:28 |
| DistroJockey | vixy_fox, heh, try anyway :) | 08:28 |
| Ham1979 | kawiwen: very strange it still starts the same session but I can reset that up - just having trouble with thunderbird permission setting up a profile | 08:28 |
| kaiwen | thunderbird permission. have you tried running thunderbird under sudo? | 08:29 |
| vixy_fox | DistroJockey: What's the easiest way to turn it off? | 08:29 |
| kaiwen | tell me if that works | 08:29 |
| kaiwen | if that works, i may know the problem | 08:29 |
| schone | distrojockey it is asking my to specify a filesystem type? | 08:29 |
| DistroJockey | vixy_fox, System - Preferences - Appearance | 08:29 |
| DistroJockey | vixy_fox, then Visual Effects | 08:30 |
| vixy_fox | DistroJockey: Believe it or not... that made it worse >.> | 08:30 |
| DistroJockey | schone, what did you format it as? | 08:30 |
| DistroJockey | vixy_fox, hmm | 08:30 |
| schone | ext3 | 08:30 |
| vixy_fox | Distrojocky: They way it looks right now. It looks as if your running duke nukem 3d, on a very crappy machine. | 08:31 |
| DistroJockey | vixy_fox, maybe a restart of X now that Visual Effects are disabled? | 08:31 |
| rhalff | hi my upgrade hangs while updating locales, I can't kill -9 localedef either, any suggestions ? | 08:31 |
| DistroJockey | schone, as ext3 mount shouldn't need to ask that I would have thought | 08:32 |
| vixy_fox | DistroJockey: I'm really going to dislike it if I'm going to have to keep restarting X each time I run Second Life. I've seen videos of it running perfectly fine, on systems with less performance than mine. | 08:32 |
| vixy_fox | DistroJockey: And running Visual Effects at the same time in the videos | 08:32 |
| schone | hmm | 08:32 |
| DistroJockey | vixy_fox, and you have restricted drivers? | 08:32 |
| vixy_fox | DistroJockey: I'm not to sure how I could tell. I used Envy to install my nVidia drivers. | 08:33 |
| DistroJockey | schone, can you pastebin what you tried and see please? | 08:33 |
| DistroJockey | vixy_fox, then yep. | 08:33 |
| schone | http://paste.ubuntu.com/28221/ | 08:34 |
| vixy_fox | DistroJockey: What I find odd, is when I go and use 3D cube to move between panes, it doesn't lag at all, even when I can still see the Second Life window. | 08:34 |
| schone | there u go distrojockey | 08:34 |
| vixy_fox | DistroJockey: That is why this is really confusing me. | 08:34 |
| DistroJockey | vixy_fox, maybe a quick check to see if glxgears gives any errors when run in terminal | 08:34 |
| vixy_fox | DistroJockey: What exactly would I type in terminal to test that? | 08:35 |
| DistroJockey | vixy_fox, glxgears | 08:35 |
| DistroJockey | schone, so /media/Backup exists? | 08:36 |
| schone | yep | 08:36 |
| DistroJockey | schone, and the result of? sudo mount /dev/sdc1 /media/Backup | 08:36 |
| vixy_fox | DistroJockey: I came up with an error. How do I use pastebin? | 08:37 |
| DistroJockey | !pastebin | vixy_fox | 08:37 |
| ubottu | vixy_fox: 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) | 08:37 |
| Viking667 | yeesh. Locales wouldn't define, and the program stopped, dead. | 08:37 |
| schone | distrojockey : sudo mount -t ext3 /dev/sdc1 ./Backup worked! | 08:37 |
| Viking667 | ... though funnily eneugh, still in running state, even as I shut down. | 08:38 |
| Viking667 | ah, it's gone. | 08:38 |
| DistroJockey | vixy_fox, go there, paste and copy the location from the Adress bar | 08:38 |
| vixy_fox | DistroJockey: http://paste.ubuntu.com/28224/ | 08:38 |
| DistroJockey | schone, Cool! And the one I mentioned didn't? | 08:38 |
| TEN | Does anyone know how to make sure that ENABLED=1 in /etc/defaults/vdr is not ignored? (In other words, VDR currently won't autostart on reboot which is kind of nonsensical for a DVR ;) ) | 08:38 |
| schone | distrojockey: it is labelled 250.1 GB Media - is there a way to change this? | 08:38 |
| schone | distrojockey : no i think the format of the command wasnt write | 08:39 |
| Josdell | Hey everyone, I just watched The Dark Knight. It is so epic, sorry just gotta say it :) | 08:39 |
| Gurpartap | What application to use to add bubble comments to pictures? | 08:39 |
| DistroJockey | schone, label command maybe (need to unmount) | 08:39 |
| DistroJockey | vixy_fox, looks like the kernel and the driver don't match. You will need to fix that | 08:40 |
| vixy_fox | DistroJockey: I'm a complete newbie at Ubuntu really. Can you point me in the right direction of how to do that? | 08:40 |
| nextplace | kaiwen: I know now the Problem of my hibernating Problem: It'S the w-lan card (Atheros A5007 PCI-E) | 08:40 |
| Gurpartap | I just need to add some notes to a screenshot/mockup | 08:40 |
| kaiwen | nextplace: lol, mine was my audio card | 08:41 |
| kaiwen | weird reason, but it was true | 08:41 |
| kaiwen | lol | 08:41 |
| DistroJockey | vixy_fox, same issue you get when a new driver is released and you install it manually. Umm, maybe, sec | 08:41 |
| Ham1979 | kaiwen - how do i run thunderbird under sudo in xwidnows | 08:41 |
| kaiwen | go to terminal | 08:41 |
| kaiwen | sudo thunderbird | 08:41 |
| nextplace | kaiwen: it halts everytime on this line | 08:41 |
| vixy_fox | DistroJockey: KK, what I noticed though, is Envy doesn't have the newest nVidia driver in it. It has 173.14.05 where the newest driver is 173.14.09 | 08:42 |
| kaiwen | nextplace:same | 08:42 |
| kaiwen | nextplace: that's why i dont' use it | 08:43 |
| vixy_fox | DistroJockey: I had tried to install the .09 driver manually, but it didn't work out right, so I tried using Envy after uninstalling the .09 driver. The kernel I guess didn't change with it. | 08:43 |
| kaiwen | nextplace: it always halts, then u don't knwo what happens | 08:43 |
| DistroJockey | vixy_fox, yeah, I guess that's one reason why envyng is "unsupported" | 08:43 |
| nextplace | kaiwen: now, I don't use it either | 08:43 |
| nextplace | kaiwen: It starts quickly anyways | 08:43 |
| kaiwen | nextplace: yeah, to tell you the truth, it's a bit dangerous to use it, i almost wanted to reinstall b/c | 08:43 |
| kaiwen | i thought it was the kernel error | 08:43 |
| vixy_fox | DistroJockey: To get the newest driver installed, the .09, what would be the best way to install it? | 08:43 |
| schone | distrojockey : do you know the command to relabel? | 08:44 |
| kaiwen | then i took at might laptop batter to reset the memory and it worked fine, and figure out it was the hibernation | 08:44 |
| DistroJockey | vixy_fox, you might be better following the manual steps | 08:44 |
| kaiwen | nextplace: basically it's bugy, dangerous, and you may encounter unexpected errors | 08:44 |
| nextplace | kaiwen: I'm gonna write a bugreport now | 08:45 |
| kaiwen | it does start quickly ;) | 08:45 |
| kaiwen | kaiwen; ok, cool, i have the same problem, but it was b/c of my network card | 08:45 |
| kaiwen | i mean audio card | 08:45 |
| nextplace | kaiwen: the developement team has to know to fix this kind of bugs | 08:45 |
| Ham1979 | kaiwen: sudo mozilla-thunderbird brings up the profile i setup yesterday which is cool but how do i set it so that i don't have to go into termianl each time i wanna start thunderbird | 08:45 |
| kaiwen | urs is network | 08:45 |
| kaiwen | lol | 08:45 |
| kaiwen | Ham i know ur problem :p | 08:45 |
| kaiwen | see i told u lol | 08:46 |
| vixy_fox | DistroJockey: I tried doing that, but there are different places that tell you different things about manual install.. and I just don't know which one to follow. | 08:46 |
| kaiwen | i knew it was permissions | 08:46 |
| kaiwen | wait let me find it so i can explain it | 08:46 |
| DistroJockey | schone, the following may help (read all of it first) : https://answers.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+question/4670 | 08:46 |
| kaiwen | Ham you'll have to change your user permissions | 08:46 |
| kaiwen | are you under gnome or kde? | 08:46 |
| DistroJockey | vixy_fox, I thought the script you get and run from the nvidia site does all, and prompts when you don't have what it needs | 08:47 |
| Ham1979 | gnome | 08:47 |
| kaiwen | hmm | 08:47 |
| spoo1 | kaiwen, you are awesome!!! | 08:47 |
| kaiwen | are u able to go to kde? | 08:47 |
| kaiwen | i'm running kde now | 08:47 |
| Viking667 | bah. | 08:47 |
| vixy_fox | I tried following it, but for some reason the xconfig or something wasn't installed right and it freaked out on me relaly >.> | 08:47 |
| DistroJockey | vixy_fox, not used their drivers for a while (so may not be much help) | 08:47 |
| kaiwen | unless | 08:48 |
| kaiwen | u can somehow get into user accounts | 08:48 |
| Viking667 | Now it works. Had to reboot before a dpkg --configure locales would work. | 08:48 |
| kaiwen | in gnome | 08:48 |
| kaiwen | spoo1 did it work? | 08:48 |
| spoo1 | yup | 08:48 |
| kaiwen | cool | 08:48 |
| spoo1 | seemlessly | 08:49 |
| kaiwen | lol | 08:49 |
| kaiwen | thatz good | 08:49 |
| DistroJockey | vixy_fox, yeah, that happens a bit. You may need to run something like nvidia-settings or the reconfigure command listed at the top of xorg.conf | 08:49 |

| xintron | jc6: It says virtualbox isn't installed. Although I installed it using their .deb packaged from the website | 09:10 |

| DistroJockey | schone, but then I guess you would need sudo to access it | 09:14 |
| Viking667 | hm. Strange. machine just dies | 09:14 |
| schone | well it worked that time distro | 09:14 |
| legend2440 | spoo1: you have 2 x 512 0r 1 stick of 1 gig? | 09:14 |
| spoo1 | legend2440, and just like on that forum I have 2x512 | 09:14 |
| schone | but it doesnt appear in nautilus | 09:14 |
| Viking667 | ouch | 09:14 |
| xintron | jc6: How do I intall support for X in Vbox? | 09:15 |
| Smegzor | nevermind. solved it. I must have unticked the box that tells the login menu to include XDMCP (oops) Oh well. fixed now :) | 09:15 |
| DistroJockey | schone, hmm | 09:15 |
| jc6 | xintron: Do you mean support in xchat | 09:15 |
| xintron | jc6: Nvm | 09:16 |
| paul_5666 | hi all, im trying to run fdsk on my 2nd hdd which is a NTFS FS, how do i do so? i already forced the mount | 09:16 |
| jc6 | xintron try /join #virtualbox | 09:16 |
| schone | wierd | 09:16 |
| DistroJockey | schone, I can't understand why it would show | 09:17 |
| legend2440 | spoo1: maybe try switching sticks from 1 bank to another or make sure they are seated correctly. also if you press ESC as Ubuntu is is starting you can choose memtest to rundiagnostics on memory. | 09:17 |
| DistroJockey | schone, so you mounted it at /mnt/sdc1 ? | 09:17 |
| vixy_fox | DistroJockey: So I was able to uninstall, reinstalled with the newest driver. Tried the glxgears test, no errors now, and seems to run okay. When I try to open secondlife up again though... it won't open at all. I tried reinstalling the .deb, but it won't run. Any ideas? | 09:18 |
| schone | distro: it mounts perfectly under media | 09:18 |
| schone | umm i was using the name of the drive to mount it | 09:19 |
| Viking667 | right. Let's try that again... | 09:19 |
| DistroJockey | vixy_fox, glad to hear you fixed the driver issue. No idea on Second Life though sorry. Maybe you can redirect it to another X display. (check launch options for the program) | 09:19 |
| DistroJockey | schone, so it's mounted in /media and you can see it? | 09:20 |
| schone | yep | 09:20 |
| vixy_fox | distrojockey: How do I check the launch options? | 09:20 |
| DistroJockey | schone, cool :) | 09:21 |
| DistroJockey | vixy_fox, read it's man page I guess | 09:21 |
| DistroJockey | vixy_fox, or README file or documentation | 09:21 |
| vixy_fox | DistroJockey: Alright. Thank you so much for your help. I'm just glad that I have the driver issue fixed ^_^ | 09:21 |
| schone | so i can leave it under /media? | 09:22 |
| DistroJockey | vixy_fox, you're welcome. Me too, that would have been causing a few issues. Good luck | 09:22 |
| Viking667 | I know this is probably a FAQ, but why the hell is this happening? perl: warning: Setting locale failed.; perl: warning: Please check that your locale settings: LANGUAGE = (unset), LC_ALL = (unset), LANG = "en_NZ" are supported and installed on your system. | 09:22 |
| Viking667 | the locales generated were all .UTF-8 locales. | 09:23 |
| Viking667 | could this be an issue? | 09:23 |
| DistroJockey | schone, well, media is generally used for removable media, but it should be fine if you are happy with it being there | 09:23 |
| schone | yer if its working thats all good | 09:24 |
| DistroJockey | schone, aye :) | 09:24 |

| taso_ | http://www.pastebin.ca/1075302 ... It's not return a valid result, however, if I switch the second and first name server it will; shouldn't it search the first name server, then the second? If not, that's what I want it to do, how could I make this happen? | 09:47 |
| spoo1 | DistroJockey thank you very much :) | 09:47 |
| DistroJockey | spoo1, no problem | 09:47 |
| Gripey | mavsman4457, native linux games or console or other | 09:47 |
| Flannel | paul_5666: What line are you using now? | 09:47 |
| MatthewV | tckb, you could, but it is generally easier to use packages where available | 09:47 |
| paul_5666 | Flannel: fsck -p -f -t ntfs /media/windows_virtual | 09:47 |
| hellohector | how do i turn of kubuntu as the default system ? | 09:48 |
| butterz | hellohector, wadoumean gamma issues, what is your lcd problem exactly | 09:48 |
| mavsman4457 | Gripey: it's just made for anything, linux, pc, mac, and it's been ported to xbox and psp | 09:48 |
| hurricaneharry | mavsman4457: looks like your sources aren't complete (missing files) | 09:48 |
| MaximLevitsky | Small question, is it safe to turn off remote gnome system using 'shutdown' while gui is running there? | 09:48 |
| hellohector | well, the light colours are really really light | 09:48 |
| Gripey | hellohector, choose in login screen at session | 09:48 |
| hellohector | and my samsung226bw screen doesnt allow me to change settings from the monitor | 09:48 |
| mavsman4457 | alright well I've got the binary files but I'm confused as to how to install it through that | 09:48 |
| tckb | yeah .. but wen i tried to install it by using the package manager .. its giving me errors | 09:48 |
| Flannel | paul_5666: without sudo? | 09:48 |
| hellohector | its usually driver based | 09:48 |
| butterz | hellohector, i just got a samsung monitor, maybe i have gamma issues :P | 09:48 |
| paul_5666 | Flannel: im root already | 09:48 |
| Flannel | tckb: Yes, the repository is down at the moment. | 09:48 |
| tckb | its conflivitng | 09:48 |
| mavsman4457 | Gripey: it just gives me a two folders: install and usr | 09:49 |
| tckb | no not that.. i install avant manager by off repos... | 09:49 |
| hellohector | Gripey. I installed kubuntu and ever since then its the default ? the login screen and everything is different | 09:49 |
| hellohector | how do i revert ? | 09:49 |
| Flannel | paul_5666: type fsck and hit tab twice, do you see fsck.ntfs? | 09:49 |
| AaronH | hellohector, you should just have to read and possible rearrange the contents of this file /boot/grub/menu.lst | 09:49 |
| taso_ | My DNS server is returning "NOT FOUND" , how do I make it check the next DNS server for the results ? | 09:49 |
| Flannel | paul_5666: I'm not really sure you can fsck an ntfs drive, now that I'm actually thinking. | 09:49 |
| mavsman4457 | HurricaneHarry: did you read that comment I just made or should I say it again? | 09:49 |
| tckb | no if i try installing it using the ppa reps it is conflicing | 09:49 |
| paul_5666 | Flannel: nope dont see it | 09:49 |
| Gripey | hellohector, you want to get rid of kde completely? | 09:50 |
| vpxavier | hello all | 09:50 |
| Flannel | paul_5666: I imagine you can't fsck ntfs, which makes sense. What are you trying to fix? | 09:50 |
| mavsman4457 | HurricaneHarry: I've got the binary files but I don't really know how to install them, it just comes with usr and install folders | 09:50 |
| schone | distrojockey - im trying to move files between drives and im being told in nautilus that i dont have the permission | 09:50 |
| butterz | hellohector, i dont really have anything to compare it to since i have never used a flatpanel, but sometimes things look kind of bluish green. | 09:50 |
| Guest34926 | will apt-get remove kde && apt-get install gnome work? | 09:50 |
| hellohector | gripey; what is the difference? i'm totally confused about it.. kde ? I just installed it via terminal and i don't like it. i miss my ubuntu login and stuff | 09:50 |
| paul_5666 | Flannel: its just saying the ntfs journal did something | 09:50 |
| hellohector | butterz this screen is awesome on everything else.. | 09:50 |
| DistroJockey | hellohector, change Session at login and when asked if you want it as default say yes. As for the startup splash screen, that is changed somewhere | 09:51 |
| Flannel | Guest34926: No. ubuntu-desktop, but this is easier: | 09:51 |
| Flannel | !puregnome | Guest34926 | 09:51 |
| ubottu | Guest34926: If you want to remove all !KDE packages and have a default !Ubuntu system follow the instructions here << http://psychocats.net/ubuntu/puregnome >> | 09:51 |
| cckk | hello everyone im trying to install my ati tv wonder hd 650 i cannot find any info on the net about it, thanks in advance for any help | 09:51 |
| Flannel | paul_5666: You'll probably wind up needing to boot windows and fix it. | 09:51 |
| Guest34926 | Flannel: thats for hellohector | 09:51 |
| hurricaneharry | mavsman3357, I don't know an answer to your problem, it's something you should find out where you got the game i think. | 09:51 |
| paul_5666 | ah ok =( thanks anyway Flannel | 09:51 |
| Flannel | paul_5666: "fix it" probably means clean shutdown. | 09:51 |
| hellohector | so annoying that you can easily install stuff with one line of command code | 09:52 |
| hellohector | but not reverse it easily | 09:52 |
| paul_5666 | Flannel: ok | 09:52 |

| Gripey | hellohector, see the puregnome link above | 09:52 |
| spoo1 | anyone know a lot about RAM issuess? | 09:52 |
| DistroJockey | spoo1, define alot ;P | 09:52 |
| Flannel | hellohector: You can remove most stuff easily (same way as installing), and there are ways of removing metapackages easily too, but that's simpler actually. | 09:52 |

| vpxavier | but 11000 was an example just to say this it must be different from port 80 | 09:56 |

| spoo1 | I don't think so but how do I check | 10:02 |

| Gripey | lavalaba, gnome-look.org | 10:02 |
| DistroJockey | spoo1, as cckk mentioned devices do map into main memory, but that should not be an issue with 1GB of RAM (may be wrong) | 10:02 |
| Flannel | _ZEUS_: What version of Ubuntu are you using? | 10:02 |
| vpxavier | aaronH, my local machine is accessible via port 80 in local network. I guess I have to forward port 11000 of the server to port 80 of my local machine | 10:02 |

| spoo1 | DistroJockey, I even reported it as a bug.... don't think its Ubuntu's problem though | 10:04 |
| DistroJockey | spoo1, cckk: only thing I can think to check is kernel boot parameters. Can you pastebin /boot/grub/menu.lst please? | 10:04 |
| Flannel | fwaokda: The launcher properties have an icon selection bit | 10:05 |
| HaXeri | oh sorry this xchat normally logs to ubuntu fi this doesent work | 10:05 |
| Gripey | HaXeri, np :) | 10:05 |
| AaronH | vpxavier, iptables should allow you to forward 11000 to 80 | 10:05 |
| vpxavier | ty, I'll have a look at it | 10:06 |
| fwaokda | Flannel, is there a place where ubuntu stores icons? | 10:06 |
| AaronH | vpxavier, use the GUI for iptables to set it up, makes it easy... it called firestarter, install it with "sudo apt-get install firestarter" | 10:06 |
| Flannel | fwaokda: There is. Uh... /usr/share/artwork? No, pixmaps? something like that. | 10:07 |
| Flannel | fwaokda: but you can pick an arbitrary path if you've got your own | 10:07 |
| fwaokda | ok thanks | 10:08 |
| spoo1 | DistroJockey, is there any info that I should censor in that? | 10:08 |
| vpxavier | @aaronH, I have only command lines and webmin on my server | 10:08 |
| DistroJockey | spoo1, not that I can think of. But take a look and do so if you wish. But make it clear you edited it | 10:09 |

| xnv | kcman: What happens when you log in now? | 10:14 |
| cckk | sorry you got it | 10:14 |
| kcman | xnv the memory required is to much for the machine so it just freezes | 10:14 |
| spoo1 | DistroJockey, I would almost say that I have a hardware problem but if the BIOS reads it then I would think its fine... I did run the memtest86 and it read the same (although I didn't let it finish) | 10:15 |
| legend2440 | cckk: is that ati hd 650 the pci version? | 10:15 |
| cckk | spool have you tried lshw | 10:15 |

| chrislees | Hi, I have a problem with a friend's computer. Even when there are no extra programs running, the System Monitor still shows data going to or from the network | 10:24 |
| spoo1 | DistroJockey, I'm not sure but I think I remember seeing 3 at least | 10:24 |
| xnv | kcman: Was this some sort of prank, or is there another reason you set them to really big files? | 10:24 |
| chrislees | When I look with netstat, there is no process identified for this stuff. It's TCP and it's going to port 80, but the process name is "-" | 10:24 |
| spoo1 | DistroJockey, so it was a few months ago last time I opened it | 10:25 |
| DistroJockey | spoo1, if you have 4 slots, then the sticks should be in slot 0 and slot 3 | 10:25 |
| kcman | they are wavs and i am sure it only has to do with the age of the machine really, this is from circa 2000 xp new age stuff... | 10:25 |
| AaronH | chrislees, use "netstat -t" to see what is connected and sending and receiving data | 10:25 |
| spoo1 | DistroJockey, and that could cause this? | 10:25 |
| ndlovu | AaronH, I'm getting the output "No i2c device files found. Use prog/mkdev/mkdev.sh to create them." from 'sudo sensors-detect' any idea what it's saying? | 10:25 |
| chrislees | AaronH, I have been using sudo netstat -vatnp | 10:25 |
| DistroJockey | spoo1, not sure, but it is the best way to have them :) | 10:25 |
| schone | Distrojockey did you get my paste link? | 10:26 |
| chrislees | AaronH, a typical line from this command when there is network traffic would be: | 10:26 |
| chrislees | tcp 0 0 192.168.1.102:54463 61.9.129.151:80 TIME_WAIT - | 10:26 |
| cckk | DistroJockey: spool yeah if you have a dual channel mb | 10:26 |
| ndlovu | AaronH, nm, I think this page explains it: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/SensorInstallHowto | 10:26 |
| kyle_l5l | MaximLevitsky, well, I had WPA2 working with another distro...right now, iwlist ath0 shows my wireless network and so on, but iwconfig always shows Encryption Key: off, and sometimes has the link quality at 0, even though iwlist gives different (sane) results. | 10:26 |
| DistroJockey | schone, yep, sorry, not to good on fstab yet | 10:26 |
| schone | ahhh damn | 10:27 |
| spoo1 | DistroJockey, I'll check that out then... | 10:27 |
| cckk | distrojockey spool the only prob is bios shouldnt show 1Gib if its a dual channel | 10:27 |
| spoo1 | cckk, so that could be my problem? | 10:27 |
| DistroJockey | spoo1, *nods* check MB chipset while you are at it | 10:27 |
| xnv | kcman: Are you able to get to a terminal on that machine? | 10:27 |
| AaronH | chrislees, its running on port 80 which is http related, so more than likely you have a browser open on the system that is loading your network | 10:27 |
| kidbuntu | !cpanel | 10:27 |
| ubottu | Sorry, I don't know anything about cpanel | 10:27 |
| kcman | well i am on it now so it works just fine | 10:27 |
| kidbuntu | !wordpress | 10:27 |
| ubottu | Sorry, I don't know anything about wordpress | 10:27 |
| kcman | it is just loading that user is the stoping point for now | 10:27 |
| chrislees | AaronH, that's the strange thing - no browser open, and only the destination port is port 80 | 10:27 |
| kcman | i can su the user account from here and get to the terminal for the user that way | 10:28 |
| mrtimdog | chrislees: Try 'netstat -at | fgrep LISTEN' then use 'lsof -i :1234' where 1234 is the port number of the listening port returned from netstat to show which application is using that port. | 10:28 |
| chrislees | And besides, when I have Firefox open and connecting, it shows Firefox in the list of processes | 10:28 |
| DistroJockey | schone, I know you can specify a umask in fstab, but not sure on exact syntax or mask you should use | 10:28 |
| AaronH | chrislees, did you check "ps -e" for any browsers? | 10:28 |
| mrbichel | Hello i am experiencing a problem logging in this is my .xsession-errors file. I searched around for the error on the forums but didn't find a solution that worked. I trid deleting soem configuration files so that gdm would reset them and i tried deleting .Xauthority but its all the same. The failsafe gnome session works fine. Any ideas? http://paste.ubuntu.com/28237/ | 10:28 |
| xnv | kcman: OK, do so, and then rm ~/.gnome2/sound/events/gtk-events-2.soundlist | 10:28 |
| mrtimdog | chrislees: Also take a look at iptraf | 10:29 |
| cckk | spoll distrojockey yeah it possible i agree with distro jockey check mb chipset too / clr bios via hardware too | 10:29 |
| kcman | xnv ok one second plz | 10:29 |
| kyle_l5l | MaximLevitsky, and, whenever I change any settings in network-manager, it always sets wpa-driver to wext in /etc/network/interfaces, even though I have an atheros card (in the other distro, I always passed -Dmadwifi to wpa_supplicant) | 10:29 |
| AaronH | chrislees, "top" might give you a clue too.... if the program is sending and receiving and using processor power the program should be near the top on "top" | 10:29 |
| macsim`work | how can I remove the gnome addon on firefox ? I remove gnome-firefox support but form input still styled | 10:30 |
| spoo1 | cckk, ?? "/ clr bios via hardware" ?? | 10:30 |
| xnv | kcman: Let me know if that file doesn't exist for you. It's possible. | 10:30 |
| chrislees | AaronH: Thanks for the two commands suggested - top shows nada interesting but the other two commands I will try when the traffic goes back up | 10:30 |
| chrislees | mrtimdog: Will do | 10:30 |
| kcman | xnv yeah that is what it said no cannot does not blah blah blah | 10:30 |

| DistroJockey | spoo1, CMOS jumper on MB if available | 10:31 |
| cckk | spool, yeah there a jumper next to the mb battery switch positions if on pin 1,2 to 2,3 momentarily to reset to default factory settings in bios and to clear errors | 10:31 |
| xnv | kcman: gconftool-2 -t bool -s /desktop/gnome/sound/event_sounds false | 10:31 |
| xnv | kcman: Run that in the user's terminal | 10:32 |
| DistroJockey | cckk, sorry :) | 10:32 |
| spoo1 | DistroJockey, oh no I don't think I'll mess with jumpers | 10:32 |
| cckk | distrojockey no worries i still type with 2 fingers lol | 10:32 |
| kcman | xnv that one took | 10:32 |
| DistroJockey | cckk, me too :) | 10:32 |
| MaximLevitsky | kyle_l5l, you use manual settings? | 10:32 |
| kcman | xnv so i asume i am good to login to that account now? | 10:32 |
| xnv | kcman: Do gconftool-2 -R /desktop/gnome/sound ... read that event_sounds = false, just to be sure | 10:33 |
| DistroJockey | spoo1, if you try getting that RAM inplace and let us know the MB's model number, we can help further if the RAM move doesn't help | 10:33 |
| cckk | spool while your in the mb check and see if both stick are the same speed and type eg, registered or non registered | 10:33 |
| xnv | kcman: And, if so, yes, try to login | 10:33 |
| MaximLevitsky | kyle_l5l, you should enable 'roaming mode' on wlan0 | 10:33 |
| DistroJockey | cckk, spoo1 : good idea :) | 10:33 |

| kyle_l5l | MaximLevitsky, I was doing the manual config. in network-manager | 10:36 |
| cckk | distrojockey thanks | 10:36 |
| Bobobobobobo | http://tinyurl.com/ads912 | 10:36 |
| kyle_l5l | MaximLevitsky, well what do you know, network-manager is actually nice to use...and I can easily switch between wireless and wired networks now. Thanks! I've been fighting with it for days... | 10:37 |
| bonespur | how do i automount my fat32 partitions on boot in hardy? | 10:38 |
| spoo1 | DistroJockey, cckk : I'm going to shut 'er down and take a look under the hood I'll brb (hopefully with all that info) oh and before I go what is the risk of the jumper idea? | 10:38 |
| chazco | Hi... is there any issue with the repos? Almost invariable i get errors when trying to use them (updates/installs)... occurs on all sorts of packages and has persisted over many, many reinstalls. Some times it can be fixed, other times the entire package system and even the whole system becomes unusable... | 10:39 |
| MaximLevitsky | kyle_l5l, I must add that network manager it qute broken in the 'Manual mode', to say correctly if you turn it on, it doesn't manage interface at all, but you need ifup/ifdown to turn it off/on | 10:39 |
| DistroJockey | spoo1, k, I'll be here. Jumper is fine, unless you have some weird setting in BIOS that you need to enable again | 10:39 |
| cckk | make sure to ground yourself before touching any componets other than that go to town dont force the jumper either its should be nice and easy | 10:39 |
| DistroJockey | spoo1, and you don't remember which^ | 10:39 |
| spoo1 | DistroJockey, nope all in BIOS is defalt | 10:40 |
| kyle_l5l | MaximLevitsky, ahh...yeah, I was noticing that it didn't seem to do much... | 10:40 |
| trym | hello | 10:40 |
| DistroJockey | spoo1, but as you said you reset to defaults' it should not be a problem | 10:40 |
| cckk | spooll youre good | 10:40 |
| MaximLevitsky | kyle_l5l, and even then it is broken, for example here when I switch to manual mode it sets wireless card to a specific channel behind my back | 10:40 |
| ndlovu | why might my computer just switch off for no apparent reason? I've checked the cpu temperature, which seems fine (actually a bit low probably - 20*C). /var/log/messages and /var/log/syslog show up nothing unusual. | 10:40 |
| zoreau | practice static safety--Hack Naked!! | 10:40 |
| spoo1 | DistroJockey, ok I may try that... so its 1,2 to 3,4? | 10:40 |
| MaximLevitsky | kyle_l5l so even ifup/ifdown doesn't work properly | 10:41 |
| cckk | spool usually 1,2 to 2,3 | 10:41 |
| DistroJockey | spoo1, use slot 0 and 2 or 1st and 3rd | 10:41 |

| ubottu | LAMP is an acronym for Linux-Apache-MySQL-PHP. However, the term is often used for setups using alternative but different software, such as Perl or Python instead of PHP, and Postgres instead of MySQL. For help with setting up LAMP on Ubuntu, see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/ApacheMySQLPHP - See also the Server CD installation process (different in Edgy+) | 10:42 |
| DistroJockey | spoo1, they are usually in pairs (have 1 stick in the first pair and 1 stick in the second) | 10:42 |

| DistroJockey | Flynsarmy, have heard java and flash can be a pain | 11:16 |

| AaronH | does flashplayer x86 work on ubuntu 64bit? | 11:17 |
| erUSUL | Flynsarmy: for firefox you can intall the icedtea based java plugin | 11:17 |
| DistroJockey | Flannel, ahh yeah, Cheers. Why not on the other also as it is called cdimages? :) | 11:18 |
| Flynsarmy | DistroJockey, Flash is a pain on 32-bit. it uses up so much cpu just watching hulu vids :S (Dr Horrible anyone?) | 11:18 |
| erUSUL | AaronH: yep through ndispluginwrapper. it is a matter of doing 2sudo apt-get install flashplugin-nonfree" | 11:18 |
| Flannel | DistroJockey: cdimage is the "unofficial" one, whether all the... other things (ports, etc) are. It just happens to be where the DVDs hide as well. Most of the stuff is a CD, honest ;) | 11:19 |
| AaronH | thanks erUSUL | 11:19 |
| erUSUL | AaronH: no problem | 11:19 |

| ubottu | LAMP is an acronym for Linux-Apache-MySQL-PHP. However, the term is often used for setups using alternative but different software, such as Perl or Python instead of PHP, and Postgres instead of MySQL. For help with setting up LAMP on Ubuntu, see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/ApacheMySQLPHP - See also the Server CD installation process (different in Edgy+) | 11:24 |

| tyler-wylie | Hey #ubuntu, I'm about to do a fresh install on my laptop and am wondering what the differences are in 32 and 64 bit ubuntu(mainly for Flash, in Fedora you can install nspluginwrapper + pulse support) etc | 11:35 |
| DistroJockey | havocstorm, http://forums.nvidia.com/lofiversion/index.php?t47184.html | 11:36 |
| DistroJockey | tyler-wylie, stick with 32bit | 11:36 |
| havocstorm | DistroJockey, thanks | 11:37 |
| tyler-wylie | DistroJockey: Not worth the effort or advantage to go 64 bit? | 11:37 |
| DistroJockey | tyler-wylie, exactly | 11:37 |
| DistroJockey | havocstorm, you're welcome | 11:37 |
| tyler-wylie | DistroJockey: as far as ubuntu is concerned? (Have a 64 bit gentoo server and fedora desktop, so I kinda know what it takes on those to get certain 64 bit things working) | 11:38 |
| DistroJockey | tyler-wylie, not at this stage atleast | 11:38 |
| egor | hi all | 11:38 |
| AaronH | erUSUL, my friend is reporting that "sudo apt-get install flashplugin-nonfree" is not installing flash for him, any suggestion? | 11:39 |
| egor | strange problem - nw card is recognised, but not functioning | 11:39 |
| erUSUL | AaronH: any meaningfull error mensage ? | 11:39 |
| DistroJockey | tyler-wylie, well, I've heard of difficulties with flash and java on 64bit Ubuntu and if you don't have 4GB of RAM or above it's probably not worth it | 11:39 |
| tyler-wylie | DistroJockey: yea that's why I was contemplating 64 bit (k)ubuntu, I have 4gb of ram and plan to run VMWare workstation | 11:40 |
| AaronH | erUSUL, nope :/ | 11:40 |
| egor | toshiba tekra laptop, marvel network card. couldn't connect to dhcp or any other server, no error messages except "connection timeout"-like messages | 11:40 |
| === BlackHawk is now known as Mark_vH | ||
| DistroJockey | tyler-wylie, well, if you can, it's worth a try | 11:40 |
| erUSUL | AaronH: :| then i can not help much... | 11:41 |
| DistroJockey | tyler-wylie, given your planned usage | 11:41 |
| tyler-wylie | DistroJockey: Yea the biggest pain for me on Fedora was when installing certain packages I'd have to install 32 and 64 bit crap | 11:41 |
| tyler-wylie | DistroJockey: I'm probably still going to go 32 bit, and use a PAE kernel | 11:41 |
| AaronH | erUSUL, well, thanks again for your help thus far :) | 11:41 |
| DistroJockey | tyler-wylie, I did read today that PAE can slow things down | 11:41 |
| DistroJockey | tyler-wylie, which makes sense | 11:42 |
| tyler-wylie | DistroJockey: well yea it's a hack to get 36 bit memory addressing over 32 | 11:43 |
| tyler-wylie | DistroJockey: I wish I knew how much of a performance hit it causes | 11:43 |
| DistroJockey | tyler-wylie, yeah, no idea on that | 11:43 |
| DistroJockey | tyler-wylie, try both, make a blog and report back ;P | 11:44 |

| tyler-wylie | DistroJockey: Well, I had a masochistic stroke and put Gentoo on my laptop, got it running fine minus 2 things which I really need. Either way I'm just like eh screw it and going to do the lazy kubuntu way | 11:45 |
| DistroJockey | tyler-wylie, heh, from what I read, Gentoo 2008 was bad when released | 11:46 |
| tyler-wylie | DistroJockey: Eh it's fine as a release, it's more thinkpad acpi isn't working, no matter what I pass to modprobe I can't get brightness to change | 11:47 |
| DistroJockey | tyler-wylie, check slashdot, think I saw it there | 11:47 |
| tyler-wylie | DistroJockey: and am going back to a kubuntu setup I think, either that or opensuse with kde 3.5.9 | 11:48 |
| dmseg | hey guys in the ubutu thin client how to they tell me to copy sources.list form server to chroot i dont really get that! | 11:48 |

| jorgenpt | Any tips on debugging a machine that suddenly stopped booting? I replaced chassis and PSU, and now it hangs during boot. The last kernel message it shows is about recognizing the USB keyboard HID :o | 11:49 |
| tyler-wylie | DistroJockey: I loved opensuse 11, it's very well put together, but I don't know, its package manager is still way behind anything like fedora's or debians | 11:49 |
| dmseg | jorgenpt: use the old keyboard and try | 11:50 |
| jorgenpt | dmseg: Stops at the same point w/o keyboard | 11:50 |
| jorgenpt | Or, well, uhm. Let me see what the last is without the keyboard. | 11:50 |
| tyler-wylie | DistroJockey: I really enjoy fedora but it pains me to see how much they shot themselves in the foot with fedora 9. Ubuntu/Kubuntu 8.04 is just beautiful | 11:50 |
| Sivam_ | hi | 11:50 |
| DistroJockey | tyler-wylie, This is a tad offtopic here but I find Ubuntu to be the best | 11:51 |
| Sivam_ | is there any UI tool to configure firewall | 11:51 |
| Sivam_ | in Ubuntu | 11:51 |
| dmseg | jorgenpt: ok is something wrong with your usb port a full kernel stop will only ouccur in a hardware error | 11:51 |
| jorgenpt | The last thing it stops on without the kb is ata10: PATA max UDMA/133 cmd 0x1f0 ctl 0x3f6 bmdma 0xfc00 irq14 | 11:52 |
| jorgenpt | ata11: PATA max UDMA/133 cmd 0x170 ctl 0x376 bmdma 0xfc00 irq15 | 11:52 |

| dmseg | dn_: notepad++ | 11:54 |
| jorgenpt | dmseg: That was hardly much, 1.5 lines. ;) | 11:54 |
| tyler-wylie | AaronH yup | 11:54 |
| dn_ | would be nice with autocomplete and maybe some kind of macros?:) | 11:54 |

| dn_ | but ill just try all ot them, thanks | 11:54 |
| dmseg | dn_: notepad ++ has loads of features | 11:54 |
| DistroJockey | jorgenpt, sounds like something connected to an IDE port to me (bad drive/connection) | 11:54 |
| jorgenpt | Only SATA, no IDE in use | 11:54 |
| jorgenpt | And it passes those lines if a USB keyboard is connected. | 11:55 |

| dn_ | dmseg: screenshots look promising, thanks | 11:55 |

| dmseg | jorgenpt: pm me your full hardware change report | 11:55 |
| dmseg | dn_: your welcome | 11:55 |
| jorgenpt | dmseg: As I said, only new chassis and new PSU | 11:55 |
| jorgenpt | Hardly something that relates to the hw in any way. | 11:55 |
| dmseg | PSU? | 11:56 |
| jorgenpt | Power Supply Unit, | 11:56 |
| DistroJockey | jorgenpt, only suggestion atm is to disable IDE and possible PS/2 in BIOS (just a guess/hunch) | 11:56 |
| Flannel | aleboco: #ubuntu-bugs will be able to help you out | 11:56 |

| aleboco | Flannel, thanks | 11:57 |
| Operator | how would i do that | 11:57 |
| dn_ | dmseg: hmm, any idea what the name of the package is? or is there none? | 11:57 |

| dn_ | dmseg: so no offical package and only .exe on the officale site.. I like | 11:58 |

| spoo1 | DistroJockey, cckk : I'm back | 11:59 |
| Flannel | dn_: N++ uses the same backend for highlighting/etc as SciTE | 11:59 |
| MeniShevitz | just a 'lil guidance on manually setting x's resolution and preferred display | 11:59 |
| MeniShevitz | because the via drivers hate my machine :) | 11:59 |

| dn_ | Flannel: I dislike scite the last time I used it - but I guess scite/gedit is the way to go:( | 11:59 |
| DistroJockey | spoo1, be right there | 12:00 |
| dmseg | dn_: sorry i like wine a lot | 12:00 |

| MeniShevitz | after you have removed wine from synaptics | 12:00 |
| DistroJockey | havocstorm, nope, sorry, someone else may though | 12:00 |
| Flannel | dn_: What did you dislike about it? gedit isn't bad. It does syntax highlighting/etc. but there are others too. | 12:00 |
| Flannel | Amarilis: you need to go through 7.10 | 12:00 |
| Amarilis | ohhh.....sh*** | 12:00 |
| MeniShevitz | Flannel - any idea why is that so? | 12:01 |
| haichman | ok thanks | 12:01 |
| MeniShevitz | the 7.10 thing | 12:01 |
| Flannel | MeniShevitz: Why what is? | 12:01 |
| dn_ | Flannel: I disliked scite - but maybe I'm just used to ides to much :) will give both a try agian, thanks | 12:01 |
| Flannel | MeniShevitz: Because the repositories are only set up for that. Transitional packages/etc are there for 7.04 to 7.10, but not 7.04 to 8.04 | 12:01 |
| MeniShevitz | oic | 12:01 |

| toan | how to install vmware? please | 13:09 |
| Little_Boy | hello | 13:09 |
| toan | helo | 13:09 |
| toan | what your name? | 13:09 |
| havocstorm | flannel, slart, there are three versions, nvclock, nvclock-gtk, nvclock-qt which one do I use? | 13:09 |
| Slart | havocstorm: nvclock is the command line utility.. the other are gui's | 13:10 |
| Flannel | murlidhar: Nothing. Your time got changed (backwards) and sudo has protections against that. sudo -k clears the timestamp, allowing you to do it normally | 13:10 |
| Slart | havocstorm: the gtk one would work nicely for gnome | 13:10 |

| murlidhar | Flannel, so what is the name for it in ubuntu | 13:11 |
| havocstorm | slart, I installed the gtk, but I can't find it, how do I run it? | 13:12 |

| msandbu | forgot the sudo part | 13:13 |
| Slart | havocstorm: nah.. don't think you need sudo | 13:13 |
| havocstorm | it says command not found | 13:13 |
| Slart | havocstorm: just run nvclock in a terminal | 13:13 |

| havocstorm | slart, msandbu, what command do I use to have the fan speed on auto | 13:15 |
| Slart | havocstorm: nvclock -f -F auto | 13:15 |
| mojo | zoreau: if you had the ip, you'd still need an application on the destination box listening (at some port) for the message to come in and do something with it... a | 13:16 |
| havocstorm | slart, msandbu, "Your fan doesn't support fanspeed adjustment"... wtf? | 13:16 |

| havocstorm | slart, msandbu, gah, the fan is on max now and it's freakin annoying | 13:18 |
| Circus-Killer | um, well, by the sounds of it you have different problem. all i did was remove the problematic add-on (downloadhelper), which was causing my crashes | 13:18 |
| havocstorm | slart, msandbu, is there anything else I can do? | 13:18 |
| Slart | havocstorm: are you sure you can change the fan speed? can you change it in windows? | 13:18 |
| Circus-Killer | @ Johnny | 13:18 |

| havocstorm | msandbu, what do you do about your 8600? Do you enable accelerate graphics? | 13:22 |
| eross | is a fax server possible, using an all-in-one printer? | 13:22 |
| Mark-H | msandbu, i am assuming, with it having an AMD K6, i would download the 64bit version of ubuntu? | 13:23 |
| Slart | Mark-H: nope | 13:23 |
| Slart | Mark-H: depends on how much memory you've got, if you ask me | 13:23 |
| Mark-H | 188mb | 13:24 |
| Slart | Mark-H: you *can* run the 64 bit version.. | 13:24 |
| Mark-H | dang, i was half way through the download, ill start the 86 then, hehe | 13:24 |
| Slart | Mark-H: you have 188 Mb memory??+ | 13:24 |
| Mark-H | i just want to make sure it is compatible before i FDISK the sucker | 13:24 |
| Mark-H | thats what windows claims, yes | 13:25 |
| Slart | Mark-H: you might want to use the alternate install then.. running a live cd with 188 Mb can be.. a bit slow | 13:25 |
| Slart | !alternate | 13:25 |
| ubottu | The Alternate CD is a classical text-mode install CD. It supports a wider range of hardware than the !LiveCD, and can also be used as an upgrade CD.

| BonezAU | Hi, I just built a brand new PC today with a NVidia GeForce 9600 GT (512mb) - I can not get any nvidia drivers working, tried envyNG, the restricted drivers built in with Ubuntu and also downloading the linux driver from Nvidia themselves. Is there a trick to getting this to work? | 13:55 |
| Chousuke | xnv: hostname refers to the name of a machine | 13:55 |
| carolyn | Thanks to all who answered, but I get connect refused when I try ssh ipaddr However ping ipaddr works | 13:55 |
| xnv | Chousuke: So you're saying SSH's documentation is wrong? | 13:55 |
| linkinxp | hello i need information in how to see the log of grub?? cause when its loading i see an error but i goes to fast..... | 13:55 |

| san | dkT: maybe you can upgrade to ff3. the plug in is available | 13:56 |
| ubottu | Sorry, I don't know anything about pos | 13:56 |
| xnv | carolyn: It may be that the machine you are trying to connect to does not have an SSH server installed. | 13:56 |
| Chousuke | carolyn: you need to install an ssh server on the machine. | 13:56 |

| carolyn | OK checking if ssh server installed (its my machine) | 13:56 |

| Chousuke | carolyn: and yes, you can limit it to LAN only. | 14:00 |
| Chousuke | carolyn: I don't remember how though; either sshd can be configured directly or you can use a firewall. | 14:00 |
| Chousuke | carolyn: check sshd's manual after you've installed the server | 14:01 |
| xnv | Chousuke: I happen to agree, but this is the way SSH has done it for years. I have no problem if you want to inform the someone that hostname can also be an IP, but you shouldn't jump to the conclusion that it only resolves a hostname and doesn't handle IPs. | 14:01 |

| henux | Chousuke: yes | 14:59 |
| Chousuke | henux: grub itself ignores everything that's commented, so there must be at least one autogenerated (or manual) kernel entry. | 14:59 |

| rvtcadmin | hi, i'm new to ubuntu and the command line. i'd like to try ffmeg, and i've heard the version i'd get via synaptic may be old. how hard is it to compile it from source? should i attempt such a thing, as a, you know, wholesome learning experience? or is it out of newbie league? | 15:17 |
| Carpe|Diem | Has anyone played native quake III on ubuntu? If so, how can I fix the mouse sensitivity problem | 15:18 |
| kristjan_eerik | rvtcadmin, it's not that hard, get the dependencies (sudo apt get build-dep ffmpeg), ./configure, make and sudo make install. now if you get errors, it gets a bit more difficult ;) | 15:19 |
| veryhappy1988 | has anyone yet an answer for my problem | 15:19 |

| Shishire | I accidentally pulled my iPod out of the cable when it was already mounted, and the icons remained on the desktop. When I plugged it back in, it created new icons and new mount points. Restarting the computer does fix this problem for me, but I need to know if there is a simpler way. | 15:31 |
| amenado | giuseppe__-> try pressing ctrl+alt+ - or + on the numkeypad several times pausing for each press to see the effect | 15:32 |
| bazhang | Shishire, you mean when removing it unsafely? not sure what you mean here. | 15:32 |
| Shishire | yeah | 15:32 |
| Shishire | the wire came out | 15:32 |
| Shishire | accidentaly | 15:32 |
| Helion | How was I to search the repositories for needed packages | 15:32 |
| Shishire | it wasn't being used, but it was still mounted | 15:33 |
| amenado | Shishire-> a mount point is just a directory, so you can remove that directory anytime after you unmount | 15:33 |
| giuseppe__ | amenado nothing appens | 15:33 |
| bazhang | Helion, apt-cache search related name or via packages.ubuntu.com or in synaptic | 15:33 |
| Shishire | amenado, not the problem, I can remove the mount point, but the desktop icons are still present | 15:33 |
| amenado | giuseppe__-> try several times..just pause everytime you pressed those combo | 15:33 |
| Helion | bazhang thanks | 15:33 |
| amenado | Shishire-> is the icon a mount point? | 15:34 |
| bazhang | np | 15:34 |
| Shishire | no, its one of the gnome virtual device logos | 15:34 |

| LaNCeloT_RW | Guys, anyone remember the name of an application called "Cross..Something" to run WindoUs applications on Linux!? | 15:35 |
| kristjan_eerik | giuseppe__, touch-ing a file wouldn't change it but try to see if you have a back-up of the xorg.conf file and then use that. | 15:35 |
| maek | because the GUI feels a bit slow | 15:35 |
| veryhappy1988 | well perhaps anyone could give a look about this how i must install it and how i must use it: fsam7400-0.5.1 | 15:35 |
| bazhang | LaNCeloT_RW, crossover office | 15:35 |
| amenado | Shishire-> then perhaps launch gconf-editor and dig through desktop to find the icon display and disable it from there | 15:35 |
| LaNCeloT_RW | bazhang, CrossOver... great! :-) | 15:35 |
| LaNCeloT_RW | Thanks! | 15:35 |
| bazhang | :) | 15:35 |
| amenado | giuseppe__-> i dont know then, your xorg.conf does not have the resolution your monitor supports? | 15:35 |
| Shishire | amenado, i'm not trying to make it disable icon, just to not draw and mount duplicates | 15:36 |
| LaNCeloT_RW | bazhang, this can only run office or other applications as well? I can´t remember LOL | 15:36 |
| giuseppe__ | amenado emmm where i can see that? | 15:36 |
| amenado | Shishire-> again, look for entries there that may be duplicates..you have to try and see | 15:36 |
| giuseppe__ | remember i installed linux 3 ays ago | 15:36 |
| bazhang | LaNCeloT_RW, not sure about that; seems wine would be for games more so and that would be for office type apps | 15:37 |
| babo | is it possible for another system to purge their dns cache for one domain only ? | 15:37 |
| kristjan_eerik | giuseppe__, /etc/X11/xorg.conf | 15:37 |
| amenado | giuseppe__-> it is in /etc/X11/xorg.conf , perhaps you need to go google for ubuntu +resolution+xorg.conf tutorials to get you more explanations | 15:37 |
| LaNCeloT_RW | bazhang, Ok! I´ll try anyway.. I remember I used CrossOver on Ubuntu 6.10 with great success | 15:37 |

| nurdglaw | ping 192.168.0.1 - w/less router - comes back connect: network is unreachable | 15:55 |
| nm824 | o | 15:55 |
| sacul | orgthingy: you shouldn't need to do that.. Just making sure that firefox exits and there are no flash processes running should free your soundcard | 15:55 |
| planetxmai1 | xfs? use ext3 it is MUCH more widely used and tested | 15:55 |
| nurdglaw | iwconfig shows lo, eth0 wmaster0 and wlan0 | 15:55 |
| orgthingy | sacul: i did | 15:55 |
| orgthingy | I closed all of youtube tabs | 15:55 |
| nck | whats it show under wlan0? | 15:55 |
| Popolon | avoid reiserfs on important and hardware raid storage | 15:55 |
| bazhang | nurdglaw, is this an open network? | 15:55 |
| Popolon | ext3 works better | 15:55 |
| nurdglaw | lots, including Access Point: Not-Associated | 15:56 |
| kristjan_eerik | how to confirm that my laptop is dying from heat death? I have this old laptop that keeps restarting. I've run memtest86+ and it found no errors (tests didn't complete because it crashed). I placed a block of ice on the cpu (avoided condensation of course ;)) and that made the computer last longer. I've ruled out the HDD as it kept restarting even when booting from a liveCD | 15:56 |
| bazhang | Popolon, you see my suggestion? | 15:56 |
| Popolon | no, 2s I look at | 15:56 |
| planetxmai1 | reiserFS is just fine... its only real advantage is for if you have loads of small files ( like email files ) it reads and writes very fast .... other than that ext3 is just as fast | 15:56 |
| Ninave | Cant pick that when formating it under windows... is it better to burn out the ubuntu cd and formate it from there? | 15:56 |
| Popolon | bazhang : sure | 15:56 |
| Popolon | I use it a lot | 15:56 |
| nck | do you have wlan0 in /etc/network/interfaces? | 15:56 |
| Popolon | but this doesn't works on firefox | 15:56 |
| veryhappy1988 | who can say anything about fsam-0.5.1? | 15:56 |
| bazhang | Popolon, I mean the ff plugin | 15:56 |
| Popolon | if I'm in french | 15:56 |
| iasio | planetxmai1, sure, it is, I am using ext3 currently. I was thinking to make a partition in XFS format for my files | 15:56 |
| Popolon | oh there is a ff plugin ?? | 15:57 |
| nurdglaw | bazhang - limited by MAC address, used to include this laptop before I tried to upgrade to 8.04 LTS | 15:57 |
| Popolon | because I use it without a plugin on my linux from scratch box | 15:57 |
| bazhang | Popolon, quick locale switcher | 15:57 |
| Popolon | bazhang, is this on synaptic or on firefox website ? | 15:57 |
| planetxmai1 | i only use ext3 and resierFS, i cnat testify about the others | 15:57 |
| bazhang | Popolon, mozilla | 15:57 |

| bazhang | heh | 15:58 |
| Grackle | Where is the OEM install mode? | 15:58 |
| bazhang | nurdglaw, what does sudo dhclient wlan0 in the terminal return | 15:58 |
| Grackle | It is not listed on my alternate install cd. | 15:58 |
| planetxmai1 | Im sure when ext4 is stable... it will become defacto linux FS standard to replace ext3 ( Im sure it will encorperate reiserFS features ) and since resierFS will soon die as a 'brand' since the coder is a convicted murderer... ext4 will be it's viable replacement...then they may just dump reiserFS altogether... maybe not tho | 15:59 |
| Ninave | Okey.. running ext3 on the system.. but what about the harddrive I want to share in the network with windows machines.. can windows read ext3 or ntfs? | 15:59 |
| planetxmai1 | samba | 15:59 |
| planetxmai1 | linux can read fat and ntfs | 16:00 |
| planetxmai1 | but windows can only read fat and ntfs | 16:00 |
| planetxmai1 | look at samba | 16:00 |
| nurdglaw | bazhang - starts with wmaster0: unknown hardware address type 801, couple of Permission denied, receive_packet failed sned_packet: network is donw - looks bad | 16:00 |
| nck | ifconfig doesn't show it? | 16:00 |
| nurdglaw | ifconfig only shows lo | 16:01 |
| Ninave | alright... so it dosent realy matter then what filesystem those drives have as long as they are formated in windows | 16:01 |
| Ninave | Samba? okey.. doing that.. thanks | 16:01 |
| veryhappy1988 | there again | 16:01 |

| newzsiy | Hello, during updating from the update-manager of the latest kernel, I get a Menu which allow me to choose which option to deal with the new updated kernel, which one to choose any advice thanks!!? | 16:09 |
| Popolon | I believe this works well if I switch the whole session to chinese | 16:09 |
| planetxmai1 | you have to edit /etc/apt/sources.list and yes you can point to a repos that is on a HD or CD or network | 16:09 |
| alephant | planetxmail: what dist are you talking about with your 2.6.26-19 kernel? | 16:09 |
| Popolon | I have to trick the session files on french to have scim everywhere by default, I suppose | 16:09 |
| planetxmai1 | Ubuntu | 16:09 |
| bazhang | Popolon, install the ff plugin, set locale to chinese (requires ff restart), set scim to pinyin (or other input) then type away. | 16:09 |
| Popolon | that's what I done | 16:10 |
| bazhang | that's odd then. | 16:10 |
| bonespur | newbyx86: choose the latest kernel and you could include the previous version just for keepsake | 16:10 |

| Malvin | Does anyone know if there is a minimum disc read speed required to install ubuntu? | 18:07 |
| Commie_Jebus | how do you recompile ubuntu? | 18:07 |
| paolo | legend2440: it looks like it is a bug... but I wonder why it has not been fixed yet | 18:08 |
| kyncani | Malvin: there is none. | 18:08 |
| Commie_Jebus | Malvin: none. | 18:08 |
| legend2440 | paolo: what is it set to 96? | 18:08 |
| yapp1 | Know any one a good config tool for MS SQL Server winXP or Linux? | 18:08 |
| Starnestommy | cookies: sudo update-rc.d -f tor remove | 18:08 |
| Commie_Jebus | yapp1: first, NEVER ask about windows here... | 18:09 |
| genii | Malvin: I've had bad failures on older 4x and 8x CD drives when tryig to install from them, but on 32x and up everything else identical everything worked | 18:09 |
| Commie_Jebus | yapp1: second, google is your friend | 18:09 |
| remoteCTRL | kyncani: humm.. k, thanks, any other recommendations? *g* | 18:09 |
| paolo | legend2440: resolution: 129x127 dots per inch | 18:09 |
| Malvin | kyncani: Hmm. It keeps failing at the same percentage and I scanned the hard drive for bad sectors and reburned the image on another dvd to make sure the dvd wasnt the problem. | 18:09 |
| paolo | legend2440: fonts are too small | 18:09 |
| cookies | thanks! | 18:09 |
| Malvin | genii: Yes this is a very old laptop with 8x read speed. | 18:09 |
| Mycah_ | hi | 18:10 |
| Mycah_ | is there a difference between the account i made when installing Ubuntu and Root? | 18:10 |
| legend2440 | paolo: how do you find out 129 x 127? | 18:10 |
| Mycah_ | or is the account I made a root user, as well? | 18:10 |
| marlun | How safe is the ubuntu-proposed repository? | 18:10 |
| paolo | legend2440: xdpyinfo|grep resolution | 18:10 |
| genii | Malvin: Also some cd makes are very bad for trying to read discs that are tightly crammed. Mitsumi for instance are horrible | 18:10 |
| sysop1972 | genii : Will security = share still allow me to restrict access to certain folders? | 18:11 |
| kyncani | Malvin: must be a bug somewhere. You could open a terminal; type "dmesg" and look for error messages | 18:11 |
| inik | Mycah_: use sudo | 18:11 |
| Malvin | genii: Well this is a 4gb dvd and a 800mb image. | 18:11 |
| LaNCeloT_RW | Wine + Meta Trader 4 = Up and Running ! :-) | 18:11 |
| LaNCeloT_RW | Thanks guys! | 18:11 |
| Malvin | Memorex. | 18:11 |
| legend2440 | paolo: mine says resolution: 77x76 dots per inch | 18:11 |
| Mycah_ | ok. But I just looked at the users on my computer and one was root, just wondering if that was another user i could actually go on or if they was jsut here | 18:11 |
| legend2440 | paolo: and my fonts are 96 | 18:12 |

| awperator | Help: how do I get out of low-graphics mode! | 18:13 |
| legend2440 | paolo: fonts can be changed in System>Pref>appearance | 18:13 |
| paolo | legend2440: that is only for gnome | 18:13 |
| genii | sysop1972: I would suggest to use Security = share and restart samba again, see if logins are valid from windows box | 18:14 |
| paolo | legend2440: I want to change the dpi settings | 18:14 |
| Malvin | genii: Did you ever find a way around it? I don't want to upgrade the dvd-rom on a machine this old. Should I get a slimmer distro that will fit on a cd maybe? | 18:14 |
| paolo | legend2440: for X | 18:14 |
| legend2440 | paolo: oh ok yes i'm using gnome | 18:14 |
| adac2 | how can I read out on terminal if the current os is ubuntu? | 18:14 |
| genii | sysop1972: when security = share then the share definitions in smb.conf should hold the specifics of who can do what, etc etc. | 18:14 |
| paolo | legend2440: I am not.. | 18:15 |
| d0wn | When I log in to a newly created user account via ssh, I get a -sh: [[: not found error. any way of fixing this? | 18:15 |
| Ubunub1 | currently if I SSH into my machine with X forwarding I can only see windows from programs I launch during the SSH session -- anyway i can connect to my actual desktop and see windows of currently running apps through SSH? | 18:15 |

| genii | Malvin: Maybe use external USB cdrom rive | 18:15 |

| bombshelter13 | Hey, quick question: I have a system with two ethener interfaces, eth0 and eth1, and am setting up DHCPD. I would like to exclude one of these interfaces, such that dhcpd only responds to requests on eth0. Where do I make this change in ubuntu? | 18:17 |
| bombshelter13 | ethener=ethernet, sorry | 18:17 |
| sysop1972 | genii : still cannot write to the folder | 18:17 |
| lazertek_ | someone explain this to me... my irc is working but i can't browse anything on any computer... i tried resetting the connection but no luck | 18:18 |
| genii | sysop1972: OK, no write priveleges . But login valid now? | 18:18 |
| kyncani | bombshelter13: dpkg -L yourdhcpserverpackagename | grep /etc/ -> this will list your dhcp server config files | 18:18 |
| inik | bombshelter13: you need to edit /etc/network/interfaces | 18:19 |
| iuri | hi there | 18:19 |
| sysop1972 | genii: I can access the folder | 18:19 |
| iuri | what the name of tovid pkg on ubntu | 18:19 |
| lazertek_ | anybody know why this is happening... my irc connects but i can't use the internet to browse any websites... i tried on different computers and tried resetting the connection | 18:19 |
| bombshelter13 | inik: ahhh, that's probably where I need to look, thanks | 18:19 |
| CutMeOwnThroat | lazertek_: perhaps dns stopped working - try to ping and IP and a name... look in /etc/resolv.conf | 18:20 |
| bombshelter13 | inik: know where I can learn about the format of these files? | 18:20 |
| inik | bombshelter13: good luk. you can do it in graphic mode also | 18:20 |
| ghostlines | i can't change file permissions even when i'm root, can someone help me? | 18:20 |
| inik | ghostlines: maybe | 18:20 |
| bombshelter13 | inik: no graphics mode on this router :D | 18:20 |
| lazertek_ | CutMeOwnThroat: let me try ping-in google | 18:20 |
| LaNCeloT_RW | is there a way to make TouchPad of my laptop more sensitive to the touches? Like, sometimes i have to click stronger than I was used to | 18:20 |
| kyncani | bombshelter13, inik : I'd say that's probably not where you need to look if you're setting up a server and not a client | 18:21 |
| CutMeOwnThroat | lazertek_: ping 205.178.152.27 would work, ping google.com would not | 18:21 |
| Ubunub1 | currently if I SSH into my machine with X forwarding I can only see windows from programs I launch during the SSH session -- anyway i can connect to my actual desktop and see windows of apps that were running before I connected via SSH? | 18:21 |
| sysop1972 | genii: here is the file if you need to see it http://pastebin.com/d6b177add | 18:21 |
| bombshelter13 | kyncani: i'm starting to think that, yeah... but I couldn't find anything relevant to it on examining dhcpd.conf | 18:21 |
| cobal2 | hi ppl i have a problem, ubuntu 8.04 crashes sometimes and a black screen comes | 18:21 |
| inik | ghostlines: did you try chmod 664 filename | 18:21 |
| d0wn | lazertek_: I think CutMeOwnThroat was right. it sounds like a dns outage | 18:22 |
| d0wn | Oh, oops | 18:22 |
| bombshelter13 | it complains that I haven't defined a scope covering the interface I'm trying not to respond to requests on. | 18:22 |
| d0wn | That's what CutMeOwnThroat said, sorry | 18:22 |
| cobal2 | anyone help me? | 18:22 |
| lazertek_ | d0wn: CutMeOwnThroat it only replies once when i ping the ip tho | 18:22 |
| genii | sysop1972: OK. Looks like we will require in this case linux names corresponding with the windows logon names. But to create them with invalid shell and home directory but valid login password (which is same as on the windows machines and also same as we previously made for them with smbpasswd program). | 18:22 |
| d0wn | Hmm | 18:22 |
| kyncani | bombshelter13: so, dpkg -L told you dhcpd.conf, then *I* would take that config filename and google for it, that should quickly lead to good documentation | 18:23 |
| cobal2 | hey ppl i need some help | 18:23 |
| cobal2 | any advanced ubuntu users here? | 18:23 |
| itai | is there a way to automate the keyring so i never have to enter a password when starting evolution? | 18:23 |
| Algyz | !ask | cobal2 | 18:23 |
| ubottu | cobal2: Please don't ask to ask a question, ask the question (all on ONE line, so others can read and follow it easily). If anyone knows the answer they will most likely answer. :-) | 18:23 |
| CutMeOwnThroat | lazertek_: "once"? | 18:24 |
| Ayabara | any good applications for editing video on linux? | 18:24 |
| lazertek_ | d0wn: CutMeOwnThroat when i cancelled it resulted saying 100% packets lost... how do i fix this... if it is even from my side or is it the isp | 18:24 |
| cobal2 | i use ubuntu 8.04 | 18:24 |
| Algyz | Ayabara: yes, cinelerra, avidemux | 18:24 |
| Algyz | Ayabara: cinelerra is very profi ;) | 18:24 |
| lazertek_ | CutMeOwnThroat: yea... it gave me this reply and then hung " ping 205.178.152.27" | 18:24 |
| genii | sysop1972: So you can make the users like: sudo adduser --home /dev/null --shell /bin/false theirusername | 18:24 |
| bombshelter13 | kyncani: documentation, yes... good... not so sure about that so far. :/ | 18:24 |
| cobal2 | sometimes gnome crashes AND a black screen appears | 18:24 |
| albech | when trying to so: /etc/init.d/vboxdrv start it tells me 'No suitable module for running kernel found'?? | 18:25 |
| ShinjinAkag1 | I downloaded quite a few files all named the same except for a number in the filename. Is there a BASH script that can go through and make sure I have them all? | 18:25 |
| lazertek_ | CutMeOwnThroat: "PING 205.178.152.27 (205.178.152.27) 56(84) bytes of data. | 18:25 |
| lazertek_ | " | 18:25 |
| Algyz | albech: install kernel modules | 18:25 |
| Ayabara | Algyz, thanks. can I use cinelerra to xfer from my cam to my pc as well? | 18:25 |
| Algyz | Ayabara: use kino | 18:25 |
| CutMeOwnThroat | lazertek_: aha... I cannot ping that IP anymore either - seems google took that server out (?) | 18:25 |
| CutMeOwnThroat | perhaps google is too much of a moving target, to pick an IP | 18:26 |
| rockyrock | hi guys, how can i prevent a user from deleting other users' files? | 18:26 |
| Ayabara | Algyz, thanks | 18:26 |
| ShinjinAkag1 | Whats the terminal move command? | 18:26 |
| cobal2 | algyz i explained my promblem twice but no one saw | 18:26 |
| Haci1 | cobal2: can u give us some more info?Have notice any pattern to when it crashes, such as which programs u have running? | 18:26 |
| genii | sysop1972: This is similar to how previously we made the smbuser name. So that if someone logs onto the linux box as one of these names directly, they will have no usuable shell to make commands, also it will not put them anywhere they could destroy things if they do su to name either | 18:26 |
| d0wn | lazertek_: try pinging 64.233.187.99, it's another google server | 18:26 |
| rockyrock | deleting the "w" permission didn't work for me! | 18:26 |
| cobal2 | mozilla firefox 3.0 | 18:26 |
| inik | rockyrock: change umask 200 | 18:27 |
| GleepGlop | I mucked up my sources.list can someone point me to an original for hardy i can use? | 18:27 |
| CutMeOwnThroat | funny, aint it - it worked when I wrote it... and a minute later it's gone... just my kind of luck, I guess | 18:27 |
| Algyz | cobal2: look into your home folder, there's hidden file xsession-errors | 18:27 |
| rockyrock | inik, what is umask 200? | 18:27 |
| sysop1972 | genii: I still need the samba sers setup the same way, correct? | 18:27 |
| lazertek_ | d0wn: ha that works | 18:27 |
| lazertek_ | d0wn: so how do i fix this | 18:27 |
| inik | mask for file permissions | 18:27 |
| bastid_raZor | cobal2; .xsession-errors if you're using terminal | 18:27 |
| inik | man umask | 18:27 |
| Algyz | cobal2: look into this file, maybe you'll see some errors | 18:27 |
| tj13820 | how do you get CGI:IRC to be usable in an APACHE environment? | 18:27 |
| genii | sysop1972: After all the appropriate names are created, change the Security = share int he smb.conf file back to Security = user once more. All else can remain the same | 18:28 |
| LaNCeloT_RW | Guys, I was looking on google and found something called gsynaptcs, alright, installed that BUT it says to enable an option called SHMConfig on xorg.conf , but I couldnt find on xorg.conf, any ideas? | 18:28 |
| cobal2 | ok looking for it | 18:28 |
| rockyrock | inik, the terminal says "No manual for umask" | 18:28 |
| bastid_raZor | GleepGlop; what did you do to your sources.list | 18:28 |
| GleepGlop | dont ask, too stupid to mention :) | 18:28 |
| d0wn | lazertek_: do you have any processes running that have high network use? like p2p or anything? | 18:28 |
| inik | rockyrock: you can also remove group permission or add stiky bit to files | 18:28 |
| lmosher | I really impressed my friends showing them "neverball", does anyone know of any simple/fun 3d games for linux? | 18:29 |
| lazertek_ | d0wn: i close it all... right now nothing is running except ric.. | 18:29 |
| tj13820 | lmosher: BZFlag | 18:29 |
| inik | rockyrock: but command present. just google it | 18:29 |
| d0wn | lazertek_: did you connect to irc via ip instead of domain name? | 18:29 |
| albech | i just installed the generic vbox module and im still getting the message.. no suitable module for running kernel found | 18:29 |

| cobal2 | last tree lines | 18:30 |
| bastid_raZor | GleepGlop; i'm still using 7.10 but possibly you could get into synaptic and change what server you're using.. that may change some of it back. | 18:30 |
| GleepGlop | bastid_raZor: i was making bash script to install from my own personal repo and wiped out my sources.list in the process | 18:30 |
| rockyrock | inik, i tried with a file. I changed the owner of the file and also the group to be "root" and i deleted it and it worked! | 18:30 |
| CutMeOwnThroat | lazertek_: look at /etc/resolv.conf and see what nameserver is configured, if any | 18:30 |
| lazertek_ | d0wn: i tried going to google with the ip using firefox and it worked | 18:30 |
| d0wn | lazertek_: did you connect to irc before, or after this started happening? if it was before, it sounds like your DNS servers have gone out | 18:30 |
| tj13820 | how do you get CGI:IRC to be usable in an APACHE environment? | 18:30 |
| lazertek_ | d0wn: before and after | 18:30 |
| CutMeOwnThroat | lazertek_: on most home setups with dhcp, the router also acts as dns server - you can see the ip of the router with /sbin/route -n | 18:31 |
| albech | does vbox require a certain arch? | 18:31 |
| Ayabara | Algyz, cinelerra isn't in the repos for ubuntu? | 18:31 |
| GleepGlop | wait, there is another hardy machine on my subnet. ill ssh and copy that one | 18:31 |
| cobal2 | algyz have seen my msg? | 18:31 |
| inik | rockyrock: it's because you are owner of directory | 18:31 |
| Hami | copy files and dir(s) from a server to a laptop using terminal I cannot get the last part to work, on the server I am doing cp -r data "what next"? hami@data? | 18:31 |
| tj13820 | how do you get CGI:IRC to be usable in an APACHE environment? | 18:31 |
| rudolf_ | wer hilft beim installieren link http://clipgrab.de/download_de.html ? | 18:31 |
| inik | so you can change it and its content - files | 18:31 |
| Ayabara | Algyz, nevermind | 18:32 |
| * Ayabara managed to google | 18:32 | |
| lazertek_ | CutMeOwnThroat: that ip is wierd... its showing 192.168.1.0 | 18:32 |

| visf | hi does anybody know how do i edit my fstab to auto mount my new hard drive | 18:32 |
| lazertek_ | CutMeOwnThroat: and under that 169.254.0.0 | 18:32 |
| d0wn | lazertek_: that's a local network ip | 18:32 |
| bastid_raZor | Hami; scp files files user@host:directory-to-save | 18:32 |
| d0wn | well, the first ip | 18:32 |
| CutMeOwnThroat | lazertek_: not the Destination one, the one on "Gateway" | 18:32 |
| shwan | visf: search ubunru wiki | 18:32 |
| lazertek_ | CutMeOwnThroat: ah yea... i see it | 18:32 |
| lazertek_ | CutMeOwnThroat: i see the ip but how do i fix the dns outage | 18:33 |
| Hami | <bastid_raZor> thx | 18:33 |
| skomara | Hey hello guys am just going trough the basics in computer and linux,i shall definitely need your assisstance,right guys? | 18:33 |
| rockyrock | inik, so any file inside my directory can be removed, right??? | 18:33 |
| === elyk is now known as telyk | ||

| rhilton | Hey folks. Whenever I try to install apache2-prefork-dev in synaptic, I get: " Depends: libaprutil1-dev but it is not going to be installed" Any ideas? | 18:34 |
| hiptobecubic | I just downloaded stepmania and it's precompiled. The whole game is in a safe-contained folder. It runs if you jsut open the folder and run "stepmania" but i'd like it to install properly, whatever that means. Why doesn't it need to be in /usr/bin etc? I'm not sure i understand how this works | 18:34 |
| bastid_raZor | Hami; and yes you'll need the -r in there.. | 18:34 |
| jcarouth | howdy all. what software is available for recording screencasts? i've been tinkering with ffmpeg the patched version, but having a lot of troubles with it | 18:34 |
| kyncani | bombshelter13: dpkg -L dhcp3-server | grep /etc/ should have given you two files i think, one would be dhcpd.conf, the other /etc/default/dhcp3-server. The latter is the one where listening interfaces are specified i would think. | 18:34 |
| rockyrock | inik, so i can't delete others files if the files are in their directories. Even if other people have "w" permission? | 18:34 |
| CutMeOwnThroat | lazertek_: if there is none at all, edit the file as root and add "nameserver ip_of_router" and you're all set (until it gets messed up again by an irate dhcp client on your machine or whatever messed it up in the 1st place) | 18:34 |
| inik | yes | 18:34 |
| brahmana | Which was the last ubuntu release to ship a 2.4 kernel? | 18:34 |
| inik | by owner of file or directory | 18:34 |
| inik | you can ln them | 18:35 |
| rudolf_ | wer hilft beim installieren link http://clipgrab.de/download_de.html ? | 18:35 |
| inik | hardlinked | 18:35 |
| * kyncani does not think ubuntu ever released with a 2.4 kernel | 18:35 | |
| rockyrock | inik, aha thnx so much | 18:35 |
| Xamusk | is there any way to use one of those flawed openvpn certificates in Ubuntu? (those that are flagged in the blacklist) | 18:35 |
| lazertek_ | CutMeOwnThroat: what would be the nameserver? | 18:35 |
| rudolf_ | Leche kannst du bitte helfen? | 18:35 |
| CutMeOwnThroat | lazertek_: and I'm guessing at the setup - the router need not be the dns-server also - it's just that in many setups using dhcp, it is (so... it's not a requirement, just something you find often) | 18:36 |
| CutMeOwnThroat | lazertek_: well, is there one? | 18:36 |
| LaNCeloT_RW | Guys!? Any ideas? | 18:36 |
| LaNCeloT_RW | Guys, I was looking on google and found something called gsynaptcs, alright, installed that BUT it says to enable an option called SHMConfig on xorg.conf , but I couldnt find on xorg.conf, any ideas? | 18:36 |
| hiptobecubic | !de > rudolf_ | 18:36 |
| ubottu | rudolf_, please see my private message | 18:36 |
| rockyrock | inik, wait you said by owner of file or directory! But the file i tried it was root's ownership! | 18:36 |
| Xamusk | LaNCeloT_RW, you have to create the option | 18:36 |
| inik | what's about directory owner? | 18:37 |
| lazertek_ | CutMeOwnThroat: you mean like www.google.com | 18:37 |
| rudolf_ | ich kann kein english | 18:37 |
| rockyrock | inik, yes it was my ownership! | 18:37 |
| LaNCeloT_RW | Xamusk, just add the line 'SHMConfig' 'true' ? | 18:37 |

| hiptobecubic | !de | rudolf_ | 18:37 |

| brahmana | ok at least what was kernel version shipped with feisty? | 18:38 |

| kyncani | brahmana: 2.6.20 i think | 18:39 |

| Legendario | can anyone help me with a hardware issue? I wanna know if ram chip i've bought is compatible with my motherboard. I bought a DDR400 memory chip and the manual says it is compatible with PC2100/PC1600 | 18:39 |
| lazertek_ | CutMeOwnThroat: you mean the word nameserver | 18:39 |
| brahmana | kyncani, ok. so dapper was the last one to ship 2.4? | 18:39 |
| indarkness | hello legendario | 18:40 |
| CutMeOwnThroat | lazertek_: resolv.conf, not resolve.config | 18:40 |

| Legendario | hello indarkness! | 18:40 |
| kyncani | brahmana: dapper -> 2.6.15 | 18:40 |

| inik | rockyrock: you make file in directory what belongs to another user | 18:41 |
| brahmana | kyncani, Ok. Thank yoy very much. | 18:41 |
| LaNCeloT_RW | Xamusk, it's not sensitive yet like I'd like to but at least gsynaptics works now | 18:41 |
| brahmana | kyncani, BTW, where did you find that info? | 18:41 |
| justs0me | will a B43 wireless driver for broadcom work with a BCM4312 [14e4:4312] (rev 01) | 18:41 |
| Legendario | indarkness, what is pc3200 | 18:41 |
| Legendario | ? | 18:41 |
| indarkness | pc 3200 is 400, 2700 - 333 | 18:41 |
| inik | so that user have full permissions to change directory content | 18:41 |
| Xamusk | LaNCeloT_RW, you can tweak the settings though | 18:41 |
| lazertek_ | CutMeOwnThroat: cat /etc/resolve.conf says it doesnt exist either | 18:41 |
| brahmana | kyncani, my search attempts were futile.. | 18:41 |
| th0r | indarkness, but they are backward compatible | 18:41 |
| CutMeOwnThroat | lazertek_: btw, it's good solid practice (and saves typing) to use the autocomplete function of bash - you write /etc/res[TAB] and bash completes the name | 18:42 |
| inik | and can mv rm ANY file | 18:42 |
| LaNCeloT_RW | Xamusk, still not good... sometime seems I have to PRESS the touchpad to click =/ | 18:42 |
| kyncani | brahmana: you would find it on packages.ubuntu.com. I keep this info with a script of mine :) | 18:42 |
| CVirus | what is 8.04.1 ? | 18:42 |
| LaNCeloT_RW | Xamusk, already set everything on Sensitve: High | 18:42 |
| CutMeOwnThroat | lazertek_: and it is NOT resolvE.conf, but resolv.conf | 18:42 |
| lazertek_ | CutMeOwnThroat: sorry about that... | 18:42 |
| Xamusk | LaNCeloT_RW, you also have to change acceleration | 18:42 |

| lazertek_ | CutMeOwnThroat: there are two nameservers... they are basically the dns server ip's | 18:43 |
| indarkness | legendario ... you is brazilian | 18:43 |
| LaNCeloT_RW | Xamusk, let me see | 18:43 |
| justs0me | CVirus: 8.04 is hardy and the 8.04.1 is hardy with sp1; what i was told | 18:43 |
| kyncani | brahmana: entire list (which is quite long), then look for packages named linux* | 18:43 |
| Legendario | indarkness, yes i am. Why? | 18:43 |
| CVirus | sp1 ? | 18:43 |
| th0r | adac2, use update-rc.d | 18:43 |
| indarkness | sim ... assim fica melhor conversa com vc | 18:43 |
| brahmana | kyncani, oh.. thats the trick.. ll try that now.. | 18:43 |

| cdc | I was watching a movie online with Firefox, firefox crashed due to bad data on a tab I had open. I try to launch the movie again and I receive no sound. I killed firefox in the system monitor and tried to relaunch the video which was a no go. I have even tried launching media player to play an mp3 but no sound. The only fix I have found is restarting the computer. Any advice/resolution would be much appreciated. | 18:44 |
| CVirus | justs0me: what is sp1 ? | 18:44 |
| indarkness | qual a frenquencia da placa mae | 18:44 |
| adac2 | th0r: so once i have copied the init file to /etc/init.d/ i just start update-rc.d is this right? | 18:44 |
| justs0me | CVirus: service pack 1, like windows, its just a updated hardy | 18:44 |
| indarkness | o que veio marcado nela | 18:44 |
| th0r | adac2, check 'man update-rc.d' | 18:44 |

| Legendario | indarkness, não tem muito brasileiro aqui | 18:45 |
| Xamusk | cdc, usually when that happens it's because some program locked access to /dev/dsp, you have to kill that proccess and also check volume settings | 18:45 |
| gronne | m-c: I've edited many settings, but could I have missed one? | 18:45 |

| CutMeOwnThroat | lazertek_: ok - that is as it should be - but if there are entries, probably one or more of them are not working - you can use the program "host" to check on them (call it without arguments to get its help, or read man host) - for me, dns often also failed, when just the 1st of the nameservers does not work - so you could also try to just reverse the order, or you could try to add the ip of your router as an additional nameserver en | 18:48 |

| LaNCeloT_RW | Xamusk, tried to find some different sections to put on my xorg.conf put none solved the problem | 18:51 |
| hiptobecubic | when i try to run a program it works fine, but when i put a link to the executable in /usr/bin and try to run it frmo there, it doesn't find the necessary files. As if it's not looking where the real executable is. how can i accomplish this? | 18:51 |
| Xamusk | LaNCeloT_RW, strange, I've never seen that... if the issue were only with single clicking, the gnome mouse settings app should fix it, but if you say they're both with problems then I don't know | 18:52 |
| Legendario | Pici, i was telling him to talk to me in private, but he wasn't getting it... | 18:52 |
| LaNCeloT_RW | Xamusk, I will check the Gnome mouse app | 18:52 |
| CutMeOwnThroat | lazertek_: er... what's it supposed to do anyways... and how can it be "more secure" dns is dns - and I doub't it can be "faster and better" than every other server... oh well - but what's there to "set up"? | 18:52 |
| cdc | Xamusk: it worked. I found the program that had it locked up. | 18:52 |
| kyncani | GleepGlop: I had this once, the fix involved setting up APT::Cache-Limit in apt.conf (google with that) | 18:52 |
| LaNCeloT_RW | Xamusk, already checked and modfied but let me see it again | 18:52 |
| cdc | Xamusk: thats a nifty tool, thanks. | 18:52 |

| Xamusk | cdc, indeed, though even I sometimes can't find the right app then I have to restart too | 18:53 |
| hiptobecubic | inik, well i put a link to the real executable into /usr/bin which is already in path. It finds the executable when i type "stepmania" at the terminal but then it doesn't find the rest of the files | 18:53 |
| CutMeOwnThroat | lazertek_: well, I was suggesting you use a root dns server... perhaps this is more polite and appropriate, though :) | 18:53 |
| lazertek_ | CutMeOwnThroat: root dns server? | 18:54 |
| CutMeOwnThroat | lazertek_: well, wikipedia sais about it (opendns): While OpenDNS is currently a free service, people have complained about how the service handles failed requests. If a domain cannot be found, the service redirects you to a search page with search results and advertising provided by Yahoo. | 18:54 |
| inik | hiptobecubic: export PATH=$PATH:/<your app executebles> | 18:54 |
| Xamusk | LaNCeloT_RW, actually, usually three fingers=right click, two fingers=middle click | 18:54 |
| hiptobecubic | inik, so export PATH=$PATH:/usr/share/Stepmania-3.9/ ? | 18:55 |
| lazertek_ | CutMeOwnThroat: ah... so the dns i have is my isp's dns server? | 18:55 |
| gronne | does anyone of you have rosetta stone? | 18:55 |
| genii | sysop1972: Line 49 for instance should not have a ; at start, this denotes a commented line. Also if memeory serves we made the username map =/etc/smbusers previously, and not in /etc/samba/smbusers so you may want to adjust one in either smb.conf to fit, or move the one in /etc to /etc/samba directory | 18:55 |
| CutMeOwnThroat | lazertek_: yeah, you can read about it here http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Root_server after you fixed your dns :-P - you're not really supposed to use them directly, though :) | 18:55 |
| inik | hiptobecubic: try it | 18:55 |

| inik | hiptobecubic:it is easiest. but not best way to resolve | 18:56 |
| hiptobecubic | inik, didn't work | 18:56 |
| CutMeOwnThroat | lazertek_: well, your modem gets an ip of a nameserver together with its own IP - so whatever your provider sends it, you have - normally they have their own dns running | 18:56 |
| hiptobecubic | inik, what's the best way to resolve | 18:56 |

| CutMeOwnThroat | lazertek_: well, it wouldn't be faster than a well-working dns from your provider - but I've seen some pretty horribly-working ones, too - so it would be faster than that | 19:02 |

| LaNCeloT_RW | Xamusk, it was 110 i changed to 50 ... i will try 500 LOL | 19:02 |
| Maximander | basically, iphone is detected by udev as a camera, not a mass storage device, so it doesn't create nodes in /dev | 19:02 |

| jorgia | Greetings...will someone please help me? i am suddenly unable to boot into Kubuntu 8.04. | 19:13 |
| inik | jorgia: some errors? | 19:14 |
| genii | sysop1972: Yes, that is correct | 19:14 |
| jorgia | inik It goes straight to memory check... | 19:14 |
| dfriis | Haha, how long can a message be here? Mine will be like a novel | 19:14 |
| albech | hmm my screen is only running 800x600 now :( | 19:14 |
| albech | and in the resolution conf i can only choose 640x480 and 800x600 | 19:15 |
| inik | jorgia: memory check on POST before linux boot? | 19:15 |
| legend2440 | hiptobecubic: there are .deb files for stepmania. may be easier http://www.getdeb.net/search.php?search_distro_id=7&keywords=stepmania | 19:15 |
| jorgia | no...it's a linux memory check i think | 19:16 |
| lazertek_ | CutMeOwnThroat: so is there a way speed the internet... somehow getting my isp dns to work again... why does the dns outage happen anyways | 19:16 |
| hiptobecubic | legend2440, thank you! | 19:16 |
| Dave-X | nned help with wifi.... it connects to open networks but fails for encryption | 19:16 |
| dfriis | Well, I've got my hands on a nice computer that I'd like to use as a home file server/ftp server/web server. You know, for storing music, movies and one or two simple web sites. I just want a simple setup, no dns/firewall stuff. I'd like lvm...I think...cause I'd like the storage to be _one_ volume and I think that the ftp storage will be the same as my home file storage. I also want the system to be on one volume and all the files on | 19:16 |
| CutMeOwnThroat | lazertek_: the opendns ones could just be slow... if you added that one on top, it's the one that will be tried 1st - and having non-functional ones lateron doesnt/wouldnt matter | 19:16 |
| inik | jorgia: after grub screen or before? | 19:16 |
| andresj | anybody know of terminal type problems when connecting to a FreeBSD server? Home key or End key don't work properly under remote nano. | 19:16 |
| legend2440 | hiptobecubic: you have to download both debs and install the data one first | 19:16 |

| jorgia | inik: it says grub is starting (1.5)...then gives a couple seconds to choose options...then goes straight to the memory check | 19:17 |

| Xamusk | like described in the first page I sent you? | 19:18 |

| LaNCeloT_RW | Xamusk, in one of them the mouse was REALLY sensitive.. but the click was the same | 19:18 |
| Xamusk | LaNCeloT_RW, only loggin out won't work, you have to restart with Ctrl+alt+backspace | 19:19 |
| LaNCeloT_RW | Xamusk, ok, let me see then | 19:19 |

| L0stm4n | anyone know why they release kernel updates without updating the kernel modules to go with it? Kind of annoying letting updates go off and breaking virtualbox | 19:45 |

| fyrestrtr | lazertek_: when servers go down :) | 19:45 |
| MeniShevitz | it's for developers l0stm4n | 19:45 |
| Fructose | henri: Do you meaning "cutting" as in "editing"? | 19:45 |
| snitty | i see buying games does not work. With steam, do i buy the game at a store, than run it in steam in wine? | 19:45 |
| L0stm4n | virtualbox is for developers? | 19:45 |
| MindVirus | Is anyone having issues installing some nspr thing? | 19:46 |
| henri | Fructose: Yes | 19:46 |
| MeniShevitz | snitty: i don't know if steam runs under wine, and if it does how well does it run. | 19:46 |
| MeniShevitz | i haven't been into wine for a while. | 19:46 |
| snitty | it runs perfect under wine | 19:46 |
| Fructose | henri: Yes, there are. Did you try searching with Synaptic? | 19:46 |
| fyrestrtr | no, virtualbox is for virtualization. | 19:46 |
| L0stm4n | I use virtualbox all the time for running windows apps that don't work with wine | 19:46 |
| Stormx2 | snitty, appdb.winehq.org | 19:46 |
| Grackle | Deus_Gear, http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=227057 You can do it this way. Perhaps the gui tools don't support it. | 19:46 |
| SaGe | I have a simple question. I have a harddrive I want to mount but I do not know the device name (e.g. hda etc.), how can I find this out quickly? | 19:46 |
| lazertek_ | fyrestrtr: so that mean anybody using that dns wouldn't be having those problems too right | 19:46 |
| MeniShevitz | you can buy the games through steam, or feed steam the serials. | 19:46 |
| MeniShevitz | @snitty. | 19:46 |
| snitty | ah i see. | 19:47 |
| Stormx2 | SaGe: sudo fdisk -l ? | 19:47 |
| snitty | so if i use a keygen, i get games for free? | 19:47 |
| henri | Fructose: is it the same as "Add/Remove" in Applications? | 19:47 |
| Fructose | henri: No | 19:47 |
| MeniShevitz | lol no snitty. most keygen serials are blacklisted. | 19:47 |
| SaGe | Stormx2: thanks :D | 19:47 |
| lazertek_ | fyrestrtr: i mean anybody using that dns has those problems right | 19:47 |
| snitty | dang it | 19:47 |
| MeniShevitz | it's worth a try though, if you like being a jerk :P | 19:47 |
| MeniShevitz | i know i do :D | 19:47 |
| fyrestrtr | lazertek_: depends on what the problem is? Are you unable to lookup a zone? Is your local DNS forwarder down? Is the domain suspended? | 19:47 |
| snitty | i like keeping my money :) | 19:47 |

| Stormx2 | SaGe, just do you know, a device like "/dev/hda" represents the entire disk drive, while "/dev/hda1" represents a partition on said drive. | 19:48 |
| MeniShevitz | well, you should enjoy not reaping the harvest of other peoples work then as well :P | 19:48 |
| MeniShevitz | being two faced is fun :) | 19:48 |
| fyrestrtr | lazertek_: a resolver is just a forwarding agent for requests, which it passes on the chain till it reaches a computer that is authoritative for that domain -- and then you get the response. | 19:48 |
| paincakes | Hi. I have installed Hasty, and i cant seem to get it to work with my GFX-card. Running Radeon X1550 | 19:48 |
| henri | Fructose: I do not understand what is the difference between this synaptic thing and the "Add/remove" in Applications. | 19:48 |
| snitty | BIO SHOCK WORKS IN STEAMM!!!!!! | 19:48 |
| SaGe | Stormx2: yea i know that, I've had to do quite a few things to get my system working. I just forgot the command, the alternative was booting up gparted and looking that way | 19:48 |
| fyrestrtr | Hasty? | 19:48 |
| tylere | How can I disable Ubuntu's video driver voodoo? Due to some weirdness I installed the latest driver off nvidia.com, and I had it working great. Had to reboot due to alsa issues, and now X is using VESA again, despire xorg.conf specifying nvidia driver | 19:48 |
| SaGe | henri: basically no difference. Which is funny | 19:49 |
| lazertek_ | fyrestrtr: i can't browse any website with my isp's dns but i can when i manually browse with the ip addresses... | 19:49 |
| MeniShevitz | snitty: i really don't think anything that works through steam will work in wine. | 19:49 |

| MeniShevitz | snitty: steam is a online store/service, not a game service. | 19:49 |
| Stormx2 | SaGe: You can always install gparted, you know ;) | 19:49 |
| SaGe | Snitty, MeniShevits: alot if not all steam games work. | 19:49 |
| fyrestrtr | lazertek_: this means your ISP's DNS is not working correctly. Change your DNS to 4.2.2.2 and 4.2.2.3 or 208.67.222.222 208.67.220.220 | 19:49 |
| SaGe | Snitty, MeniShevits: I play tf2 myself | 19:49 |
| MeniShevitz | snitty, SaGe: it depends on directx 9.1 support. | 19:49 |
| SaGe | Snitty, MeniShevits: not realy. | 19:50 |
| Grackle | henri, synaptic shows you everything and gives you all the options. It is more powerful than add/remove./ | 19:50 |
| SaGe | Snitty, MeniShevits: you can force direct x 8 or 7 | 19:50 |

| lazertek_ | fyrestrtr: what do you mean when you said level 3? | 19:51 |
| fyrestrtr | duo_: don't have that problem so don't know the cure. | 19:52 |

| fyrestrtr | lazertek_: Level 3 is a ISP for ISPs ;) | 19:52 |
| Fructose | roshan: What makes you think that's a file you should be looking for? | 19:52 |
| SaGe | sotec_prod: Yes, its not really the cpu that matters. You can either buy an expensive adapter which supports 4 or 6 natively, or you can get a few graphics cards in your machien | 19:52 |

| lazertek_ | fyrestrtr: ah... i am in congo tho currently so that won't give me slow responses right? | 19:53 |
| fyrestrtr | sotec_prod: one slot = one card | 19:53 |
| SaGe | sotec_prod: what kind of hardware are you running off of? | 19:53 |
| fyrestrtr | lazertek_: no, it should be very fast. | 19:53 |
| Fructose | roshan: A lot of people recommend using VLC for video. What are you using? | 19:53 |
| sotec_prod | or does the video card have to go into the special PCI video card slots | 19:53 |
| lazertek_ | fyrestrtr: so i have them all except i put the 4.2.2.2 first... that would be the same as having only that since it would try that first right? | 19:54 |

| jordan_cbr | can someone helpme? | 19:54 |
| SaGe | sotec_prod: yes a video card goes in the video card slot :P | 19:54 |
| fyrestrtr | lazertek_: yes, but generally request are cached. | 19:54 |

| amikrop | Hello. I have a Game Boy Advance game (in an actuall Game Boy disquette). Is there any way I can play it in my pc? | 19:55 |
| fyrestrtr | lazertek_: which means that it won't try it for a request you have already made -- you'll have to restart your networking to clear the DNS cache and then it will request from the first listed nameserver in /etc/resolv.conf | 19:55 |
| SaGe | sotec_prod: you have two options. Get an adapter card for around 400$ and that will do it, or you can get two Pci-e video cards, most have 2 dvi slots on them, thats 4 monitors for about half the price | 19:55 |
| Daisuke_Laptop | amikrop: no. | 19:55 |
| sotec_prod | SaGe, I know that. But there is the video card pci slot and the other pci slots. The video card pci slot is set offset. | 19:55 |
| amikrop | Daisuke_Ido: Not even with some emulator? | 19:55 |
| phex | Anyonw know howto make apt-get recreate databases automatically for an application if you reinstall it? | 19:55 |
| Daisuke_Laptop | amikrop: those are rom catridges with built-in sram for game saves | 19:55 |
| sotec_prod | SaGe: so I am going to need a motherboard with 2 video card slots. | 19:56 |
| SaGe | sotec_prod: Yes. | 19:56 |
| Fructose | roshan: I usually just use VLC and don't have any problems. I don't know much about the other media players. | 19:56 |
| Daisuke_Laptop | amikrop: the best you could do is download the rom and play with an emulator | 19:56 |
| sotec_prod | balls. | 19:56 |
| amikrop | Daisuke_Laptop: Can't I use such a thing? | 19:56 |
| amikrop | Daisuke_Laptop: Where can I download the ROM, from? | 19:56 |
| roshan | Fructose: kk i''lll try using it | 19:56 |
| SaGe | sotec_prod: a lot of modern motherboards come with multiple slots. | 19:56 |
| SaGe | sotec_prod: an nVidia one has 3 pci-e slots all running at 16X | 19:56 |
| lazertek_ | fyrestrtr: hmm... so i have to restart my network... but once the dns is resolved my download speed won't make a difference because of the dns would it? | 19:56 |
| Daisuke_Laptop | that would be piracy, and i will not discuss that here | 19:56 |
| Daisuke_Laptop | use google | 19:56 |
| SaGe | sotec_prod: so its not un common or anything | 19:57 |
| sotec_prod | yea, but he's looking to spend no money at all since he's got a warehouse full | 19:57 |
| fyrestrtr | lazertek_: download speed has nothing to do with DNS | 19:57 |
| sotec_prod | SaGe, yea, I know. I'm talking limited or no budget here. | 19:57 |
| SaGe | sotec_prod: OH! | 19:57 |
| lazertek_ | fyrestrtr: that's what i thought... thanks.. i appreciate it | 19:57 |
| SaGe | sotec_prod: I was under the impression you had money, thats why you were building it yourself | 19:57 |
| sotec_prod | I'm just trying to find out what my options are with what he has. | 19:57 |
| sotec_prod | yes :D | 19:57 |
| SaGe | sotec_prod: you may be able to emulate it, though I am not sure | 19:57 |
| SaGe | sotec_prod: how recent of parts do you have? | 19:57 |
| lazertek_ | fyrestrtr: also if i use a different dns than the routers will that admin be able to monitor what sites i am browsing? | 19:57 |
| fyrestrtr | phex: try dpkg-reconfigure nameofapp | 19:57 |
| fyrestrtr | lazertek_: of course. | 19:58 |
| amikrop | Daisuke_Laptop: Piracy? But I own the game. | 19:58 |
| fyrestrtr | lazertek_: a DNS is not a proxy. | 19:58 |
| Daisuke_Laptop | doesn't matter, use google. | 19:58 |
| sotec_prod | SaGe: I know that I can get 3 working over a network using some software, no problem. But I'm looking at 5 because that's what he asked for. | 19:58 |
| Daisuke_Laptop | if you can't google for it, that isn't my issue, we don't discuss that here. | 19:58 |
| SaGe | sotec_prod: how recent is the hardware you have availible? | 19:58 |
| lazertek_ | fyrestrtr: is there anyway to hide that.. not that i need to but just curious | 19:58 |
| fyrestrtr | lazertek_: use a proxy service | 19:59 |
| sysop1972 | genii: as soon as I enable that usermap I can no longer access the folder. Is it possible that it cant find the file? When I create the file with scite I am just saving it without an extension. | 19:59 |
| sotec_prod | SaGe: like I said, it's mostly bulk business and municipal computers, so the P4 era mostly | 19:59 |
| lazertek_ | fyrestrtr: but what if i am connecting to a open connection for example... i can't use a proxy there | 19:59 |
| SaGe | sotec_prod: I am not sure your options, are we talking AGP? | 19:59 |
| sotec_prod | unfortunately most are Dell or Compaq | 19:59 |
| fyrestrtr | lazertek_: depends on the proxy and what ports it allows. You can have a web proxy, a ssl proxy, a ftp proxy, etc. | 20:00 |
| shadfc | im having problems with my system getting really choppy every few minutes. It usually lasts around 5 seconds and then everything is back to normal. Any ideas? Its a fresh hardy install | 20:00 |
| sotec_prod | SaGe: I'm taking AGP and PCI into account, although most of the Dells he has are Optiplex, newer, slimmer form factor | 20:00 |
| sotec_prod | so pci | 20:00 |
| meoblast001 | hello | 20:00 |
| meoblast001 | im using dgen and sdl is reporting no audio device available | 20:00 |
| SaGe | sotec_prod: You may be able to find a PCI display adapter that is made for multiple monitors | 20:00 |
| meoblast001 | i've been getting strang audio problems lately where only 1 program can create audio at a time | 20:00 |
| lazertek_ | fyrestrtr: so if i connect to a college network for example... how can i setup a proxy there? | 20:01 |
| sysop1972 | genii : Should there be anything else inn the smbusers file other than that line?\ | 20:01 |
| sotec_prod | SaGe: there is no limit to the amount of parts, the only thing is, will the parts limit this project. | 20:01 |
| SaGe | sotec_prod: That is how you got multiple monitors in the first place way back when | 20:01 |
| sotec_prod | pci display adapter. I'll try that | 20:01 |
| lazertek_ | fyrestrtr: well i would have to set it up on my computer right... so how would i do that | 20:01 |
| fyrestrtr | lazertek_: you connect to a proxy, then you connect to the network you want. The proxy should already be setup beforehand. | 20:01 |
| Fructose | shadfc: Have you tried looking at the System Monitor or top to see what happens during that 5 seconds? | 20:01 |
| lazertek_ | fyrestrtr: but the proxy server would be my own computer right? | 20:01 |
| fyrestrtr | lazertek_: its no use to set it up on your computer because you won't be hiding anything. The proxy should be outside your network for it to be useful. | 20:01 |
| sotec_prod | SaGe: but this is of course extending the desktop, not cloning the desktop. He wants an array, not a bunch of copies. | 20:01 |
| SaGe | sotec_prod: display adapter is the same as video card, so you'll have to scower google, probably for something like old posts on how to setup a dual monitor rig or something like that. | 20:01 |
| SaGe | sotec_prod: yea | 20:02 |
| lazertek_ | fyrestrtr: any outside proxy's i can connect to? | 20:02 |
| SaGe | sotec_prod: I am not sure if you will be able to get 5 out of it this way though, but you may be able to. | 20:02 |
| sotec_prod | i've tried that search already, but I'll give it another go. All I found was desktop broadcasting boxes | 20:02 |
| phex | fyrestrtr - thanx, that worked like a charm :) | 20:02 |
| sotec_prod | I'll try it SaGe, thanks | 20:02 |
| fyrestrtr | lazertek_: google is your friend :) | 20:02 |
| SaGe | sotec_prod: I can take a quick look now :) | 20:02 |
| lazertek_ | fyrestrtr: that's exactly what i'm doing except my connection is too slow for some reason | 20:03 |
| shadfc | Fructose: i tried running top but nothing jumps when it happens even with a low refresh delay (.1 - .5 seconds). Seems like it happens too suddenly and bogs the system down too much to reflect in it before its done | 20:03 |
| SaGe | sotec_prod: I can get you a link to the new adapter stuff, give me a minute | 20:04 |
| sotec_prod | ok thanks | 20:04 |
| markqvist | Hi there everyone. I'm having a problem, and if anyone has some pointers, I would be very happy. I'm currently installing Ubuntu JeOS on a laptop for use in a project i'm doing, but when i connect a slim apple usb keyboard, it simply doesn't respond at all. Why is this? Do i need to enable it somehow? I'm not running any graphical interface at all right now, only text console. | 20:04 |
| fyrestrtr | lazertek_: probably because your proxy is overloaded. | 20:04 |
| _xyz | ubuntu | 20:04 |
| lazertek_ | fyrestrtr: i don't have a proxy setup... i have dhcp setup on my router | 20:04 |
| lazertek_ | fyrestrtr: and a different dns on my computer | 20:05 |
| paincakes | I tried to run: sudo apt-get install linux-restricted-modules-generic restricted-manager | 20:05 |
| paincakes | i get : You should explicitly select one to install. | 20:05 |
| paincakes | E: Package restricted-manager has no installation candidate | 20:05 |
| daedra | markqvist: can you unplug it and then type? | 20:05 |
| daedra | markqvist: if so, type dmesg | 20:06 |
| fyrestrtr | lazertek_: again -- the DNS is not a proxy. DNS will just help you in the initial request to find the IP address of a host. DHCP is assigning you a private IP from your router. Your *public* IP is what the router is getting from your ISP. So, anything you access is linked to your public IP. To access something not allowed, you need to connect to the proxy from your public IP, then have the proxy connect to the restricted site, and th | 20:06 |
| fyrestrtr | en send you the information. This way, the connect logs from the router only show access to the proxy machine's IP. | 20:06 |
| Fructose | shadfc: What version are you using? | 20:06 |
| markqvist | daedra, i tried unpluggin, pluggin it in again, and rebooting with it both plugged in and out... doesn't respond at all. | 20:06 |
| fyrestrtr | lazertek_: I cannot be more verbose than that :) | 20:06 |
| _xyz | if i used the sudo make, make install and make datainstall routine, what's the reverse of it (how do I uninstall it)? | 20:06 |
| daedra | markqvist: ok, try this | 20:06 |
| markqvist | the caps lock key isn't responding either | 20:06 |
| shadfc | Fructose: hardy heron | 20:07 |
| daedra | markqvist: run `watch lsusb >> errorlog.txt` | 20:07 |
| daedra | and then plug it in | 20:07 |
| markqvist | okay.. one moment... | 20:07 |
| lazertek_ | fyrestrtr: what you just said gave me a better understanding... so you are saying that i have to setup the proxy on my router to a public proxy right | 20:08 |
| fyrestrtr | lazertek_: yes, the proxy needs to be outside your network -- it needs to be a computer on the Internet. | 20:08 |
| fyrestrtr | lazertek_: for example, a public web proxy is hidemyass.com | 20:09 |
| fyrestrtr | lazertek_: go there, and type any website you want to visit. | 20:09 |
| Rewt` | ok, somehow or another, FireFox now starts "on top" of everything, including the system bars | 20:09 |
| lazertek_ | fyrestrtr: I get it now... just another quick question... there wouldn't be a way to get a faster speed than what the isp is limiting your speed to right.. | 20:09 |
| Fructose | shadfc: I don't know of any recent issues like that. You might examine your running programs to see if any might perform some processor-intensive operations every few minutes. I've heard of Apache doing that. | 20:09 |
| fyrestrtr | lazertek_: upgrade your connection, get another ISP. | 20:09 |
| shadfc | Fructose: it almost seems like its still the firefox fsync problem, but im using a recent version direct from mozilla and i thought they addressed that | 20:10 |
| SaGe | sotec_prod: still with me? | 20:10 |
| markqvist | daedra: okay... the textfile displays four entries, one of them recognized as "Apple Computer, Inc". The other as "Apple Computer Inc. Hub in Apple Aluminium Keyboard" | 20:10 |
| lazertek_ | fyrestrtr: i'm in congo paying 200 dollars for a 100kpbs connection... | 20:10 |
| sotec_prod | SaGe, I | 20:10 |
| lazertek_ | fyrestrtr: one of the best deals around here | 20:10 |
| sotec_prod | am here | 20:10 |
| xTheGoat121x | Afternoon everyone | 20:10 |
| Fructose | shadfc: Well, does it happen when Firefox is closed? | 20:10 |
| SaGe | sotec_prod: I have found what you want :) | 20:10 |
| fyrestrtr | lazertek_: I'd say you have bigger problems than your internet speed if you are in the congo. | 20:10 |
| daedra | markqvist: ok I've thought of a more useful output | 20:10 |
| sotec_prod | excellent! | 20:10 |
| === Kopfgeldjaeger is now known as kgj2 | ||
| cleaton | how can i change wich audio card alsa should use? | 20:10 |
| shadfc | Fructose: well, its not predictable, but i closed firefox a few minutes ago and it hasn't happened yet | 20:10 |
| lazertek_ | fyrestrtr: that's true but i got my security too | 20:11 |
| markqvist | daedra: and then there's one for my usb disk, working fine. And a last one with ID 0000:000 which i guess is just some root hub or something... | 20:11 |
| cleaton | from the terminal | 20:11 |
| daedra | markqvist: try this: watch eval 'dmesg | tail' >> errorlog2.txt | 20:11 |
| === kgj2 is now known as Kopfgeldjaeger | ||
| daedra | so your keyboard is recognised... | 20:11 |
| SaGe | sotec_prod: I am not sure how old the technology is, you may be able to find one lying around. If you can, try and find one that isn't usb, though I am not sure how much of an impact that will have | 20:11 |
| SaGe | sotec_prod: I am also not sure how much stress it will put on the videocard, but try and get the best you can find | 20:11 |
| SaGe | sotecprod:http://www.tigerdirect.com/applications/SearchTools/item-details.asp?EdpNo=3921559&CatId=467 | 20:12 |
| SaGe | sotec_prod: you want something like that, but obviously doesn't have to be that one :) | 20:12 |
| soulchild | Hi all,... is there the mplayer plugin for ff3 ? | 20:12 |
| Fructose | shadfc: I'm not much help here, then. There is a #firefox channel here and one on the official Mozilla IRC network. | 20:12 |
| lazertek_ | fyrestrtr: 1 last thing... my wireless card stopped working after i upgraded my kernel and my ubuntu from 8.04 to 8.04.1.. so i would have to re-install my card right? | 20:12 |
| lazertek_ | fyrestrtr: or do i just need to reactivate? | 20:12 |
| sotec_prod | Yes, I did see this yesterday when I was researching. It's a great idea, though, they're quite expensive. | 20:13 |
| shadfc | Fructose: ahh, its not firefox. it just happened again with firefox closed | 20:13 |
| SaGe | sotec_prod: yea, this one only supports 3 monitors, then 3 mirror. So you'll have to see what you can find | 20:13 |
| fyrestrtr | lazertek_: I don't know about it, but seems you might need to reinstall it if its a kernel module. My wireless is supported without such headaches so I have no experience with it. | 20:13 |
| soulchild | Mplayer-plugin for firefox 3 ??? | 20:13 |
| sotec_prod | that supports 3? *looks again* | 20:13 |
| SaGe | sotec_prod: the other kind is a newer video adapter, its basically just the same as a graphics card only less power but more monitor output, I can't seem to find it though. | 20:14 |
| lazertek_ | fyrestrtr: yea i had to use madwifi... guess i'll reinstall and sees how it goes... | 20:14 |
| thanius | Hi there, I need help with mounting permissions. EVerytime I mount a remote space, my users can't write to it in the mountpoint | 20:14 |

| notwist | Avatar_: do you think theres any way to save it? | 20:53 |

| genii | sysop1972: The other entries there in [sales] share remain unchanged | 20:54 |
| Avatar_ | notwist: very tedious :( | 20:54 |
| leafw | any special package for VLC to play .mpg ? | 20:54 |

| Slart | leafw: nope.. vlc is pretty sel sustained | 20:55 |
| Slart | *self | 20:55 |

| Avatar_ | notwist: in fact I believe gparted is still buggy, it screwed up my partitions more than once | 20:55 |
| notwist | daedra: well it's 650 gb and i dont really have that much extra space anywhere :( | 20:55 |

| Slart | leafw: ok, seems it's having sound problems.. try this "pkill -9 pulseaudio; pulseaudio -D" | 20:57 |
| notwist | I mean the best option feels like finding a program that would just look at the partition and say "allright this can't be salvaged but atleast here's this" | 20:57 |
| Slart | leafw: then try the movie again | 20:57 |
| Vitya | who knows how can I look info.linux.driver through terminal? | 20:57 |

| amenado | ubuntu_-> yes am here | 21:16 |
| markqvist | Klavier, pressing ctrl-alt usually frees the keyboard/mouse capture. Did you try that? | 21:16 |
| bastid_raZor | chazco; that being said, my experience tells me it isn't the repo's .. something with your connection dropping or locally to your area? | 21:16 |
| chazco | bastid_raZor - I thought maybe it was the connection, but ive tried several... so maybe the computer, but it seems fine and has been reinstalled (many times)... maybe the NICs but i've tried both wired and wifi (separate tech)... HDD and RAM are fine... at a loss | 21:17 |

| ubuntu_ | amenado! It says " Select physical volume for RAID" and I don't see that option! | 21:18 |
| markqvist | dedi_: Thanks! I downloaded and installed JeOS (unvirtualized) because i needed a gui-less ubuntu to install Ubuntu Mobile onto, but now i realize that was stupid, since the kernel is slimmed down. Can you give me some pointers on how to install a full-featured kernel instead? | 21:18 |
| ubuntu_ | amenado! that's during the partition use | 21:19 |
| zoreau | so is there a point to xmms-client-cli. its a command line interface, for a program that already gets controlled thru the terminal | 21:19 |
| bastid_raZor | chazco; at a loss here too.. good luck in the future. possibly someone else in the channel will be more helpful. | 21:19 |
| markqvist | dedi_: Or should i just go with installing everything over again on a full kernel from the beginning? | 21:19 |

| ubuntu_ | yes | 21:24 |
| ubuntu_ | ameando! yes | 21:24 |
| dpod | Wicky 656: if you want to copy directly to root, then yes: you need to enable root log on. If you don't mind intervening on the local remote computer after scping, then you could do something like this: sudo scp local_directory/* non-root-user@remote_machine:/some_directory/ and then login to the remote machine as non-root-user, change to sudo, and move the files to the real target. | 21:25 |

| amenado | ubuntu_-> so your steps are not the same as what that tutorial is about? | 21:30 |
| yengamatic | but if you can enable from System menu, it should be installed | 21:30 |
| amenado | ubuntu_-> you have to follow what it says..otherwise we maybe be skipping something | 21:30 |
| dpod | Wicky656: I'm not sure how it could be a bug. It's really a binary choice: either an account can remote log in or it can't. If you want to scp to an account, then you have to be able to log in. Otherwise it would be a huge security flaw: people could put things on your computer as root without demonstrating that they know the password. Remote root login is a greater security flaw than no remote root login, but it is less a security flaw than allowing people to pu | 21:30 |
| troythetechguy | Is it worth installing the drivers from Nvidia's site, rather than using the proprietary drives that com with Ubuntu? | 21:30 |
| Fructose | tehquickness: It depends on the file, I guess. It could be a problem with the device it's stored on. There could be some unique property of the file that screws GNOME up. Can't say for sure. | 21:30 |

| Fructose | tehquickness: Good luck | 21:31 |
| dpod | Wicky656. BTW did you mean "can I do this without having to enter the password each time?" Then there is a different answer: you can use ssh-keygen to allow automatic remote log in. You still need to set a root password, and you are still using it. But the public/private key pair mean that you don't have to actually type the password. | 21:31 |
| amenado | ubuntu_-> i dont think the livecd supports raid0 installs, you have to use alternative i believe | 21:31 |

| Amerikaner | i have no raid anymore, i deleted the previous raid array and put my bios setting to IDE, why cant i just install on a single HD now? i thought no raids worked w/ the stock install cd | 21:37 |
| m-c | Randocal: The version of xchat-gnome in Synaptic shows the users just fine. | 21:37 |
| m-c | Amerikaner: If you cannot boot, then reinstall Ubuntu | 21:37 |
| sacul | vipaca: I prefer python as it is my language of choice right now but I can learn just about any language within a few days. The basics are all the same. | 21:37 |
| Randocal | m-c when you click on the list yes, but id like it to be always visible.... is there a way to turn that feature on? I couldn't see it anywhere. | 21:37 |
| m-c | nope | 21:38 |
| Amerikaner | thats the problem, i cant reinstall because after the splash it goes straight to busybox | 21:38 |

| Wicky656 | DrAvatar: that might be an option | 21:41 |

| Slart | DrAvatar, Wicky656: sudo can be made to accept input from a file instead of a keyboard.. that way you can put your password in a file and feed it to sudo.. it's not a good solution but if you really have to use sudo in a script it's one way of doing it. | 21:41 |

| soul_786 | Okay i read up on ext3 vs ext2 and is there a distinguishable difference in performance? I'm planing on installing ubuntu fresh onto an eeepc 900 so which option would i be better with? | 21:58 |
| Flannel | dubby: Its super easy to edit the fstab. There isn't a whole lot that a GUI would make easier | 21:58 |
| AlexJP | bobertdos, ok hang on il do that | 21:58 |
| AlexJP | bobertdos, thanks for the help btw | 21:58 |
| AlexJP | :) | 21:58 |
| Slart | soul_786: I would go with ext3.. it's the standard fs in ubuntu | 21:58 |
| rizkhan | wireless on ubuntu keeps on disconnecting after some time .. | 21:58 |
| bobertdos | AlexJP: that's why I'm here :) | 21:58 |
| kooldude | loz: go to file->devices->curris logic blahblahblah rev. 4 (oss mixer) | 21:58 |
| rizkhan | need to restart it all again | 21:58 |
| Slart | soul_786: I haven't noticed a performance hit.. I run ext3 on my small laptop without any problems | 21:58 |
| dubby | Flannel: I know, but my fstab is pretty big from a lot of different places a manager tool would be nice | 21:58 |
| smookin | Kooldude: i bought it like 2 days back | 21:59 |
| dubby | Flannel: a lot of them are noauto | 21:59 |
| kooldude | smookin: when was it made? | 21:59 |
| soul_786 | Alright, i was just concerned with how much space it would take up on the SSD. Hopefully it'll still rub smooth. | 21:59 |
| Amerikaner | if anyones interested, i fixed the problem by setting the hard drive back to raid even though theres no raid volume | 21:59 |
| e-zak | firefox, anybody using? Mine started to crash X after the last update | 21:59 |
| smookin | Kooldude:Jan 08 | 21:59 |
| rizkhan | using a linksys usb wireless, it was ok a while ago, but now again it disconnects all the time. | 21:59 |
| DrAvatar | soul_786: ext2 perf is worse coz if you lose power, next time boot up a fsck is involved :-) | 22:00 |
| loz | kooldude: i have compiled the oss driver correctly, and it appears to recognize the sound, but does not have any sound coming out of the green jack | 22:00 |
| rizkhan | changed the channel on the router, it dint work either | 22:00 |
| Wicky656 | DrAvatar: it looks like it can be done by a pull but I don't think it can with a push CODE: ssh youruser@yourserver "sudo cat /something/secure" >local_copy | 22:00 |
| Slart | soul_786: if you want to I can format a smallish partition with ext2 and ext3 just to see if there is a difference in available space.. I don't think it will be though | 22:00 |
| Flannel | dubby: Those are removable ones. You just want "defaults" as your options | 22:00 |
| bobertdos | e-zak, Are you running Hardy Heron? | 22:00 |
| Wicky656 | DrAvatar: assuming you are in sudo -i | 22:00 |
| AlexJP | bobertdos, its just removing | 22:00 |
| kooldude | smookin: it means it is to new... or the company dosen't like ubuntu | 22:00 |
| Flannel | soul_786: /lastlog -clear | 22:00 |
| Flannel | sorry | 22:00 |
| v1k1ng0 | hello | 22:01 |
| smookin | Kooldude: hmmm... what about NDSWRAPPER | 22:01 |
| kooldude | loz: check the output | 22:01 |
| v1k1ng0 | I've a question | 22:01 |
| e-zak | bobertdos: yes | 22:01 |
| SHAMO | xf86config file ...O_O) i dont have that one is that a problem ?? | 22:01 |
| loz | kooldude: which command? | 22:01 |
| soul_786 | I'm not too worried to be honest, it was just the small HDs getting filled so I'll just try it out and if its not working how i'd like it then ill just reformat and do it again =) | 22:01 |
| AlexJP | bob: its gone now, shall i use synaptic to search for flash? | 22:01 |
| kooldude | smookin: comes preinstalled | 22:01 |
| newbie_guy | what's the differnce between ReiserFS and ext3 ?:D | 22:01 |
| v1k1ng0 | I have a dell xps laptop, and I want configure the hdmi audio output for tv | 22:01 |
| v1k1ng0 | someone can help me? | 22:01 |
| Fructose | newbie_guy: ReiserFS is a muder's file system. Use ext3 | 22:02 |
| smookin | Kooldude: in the 8.04 version of ubuntu | 22:02 |
| Fructose | *murderer's | 22:02 |
| Slart | newbie_guy: reiserfs uses some kind of weird data structure for storing files.. it's supposed to be faster if you've got many small files | 22:02 |
| v1k1ng0 | how can I configure that my audio output was digital output? | 22:02 |
| kooldude | loz: it should have it in volume control-> prefrences | 22:02 |
| kooldude | smookin: yes | 22:02 |
| bobertdos | AlexJP: good, now I will tell you you have two options here. The first option is to use Synaptic to install flashplugin-nonfree. That's the latest version of flash 9, BUT I have found that it seems to have audio issues in Hardy. | 22:02 |
| Slart | newbie_guy: but it takes a bit longer to mount when you boot up | 22:02 |
| Corkster | !moo | 22:02 |
| ubottu | Sorry, I don't know anything about moo | 22:02 |
| newbie_guy | ohh... glas that i took ext3 :D | 22:02 |
| joomla_user | !alsa | v1k1ng0 | 22:02 |
| ubottu | v1k1ng0: 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 | 22:02 |
| AlexJP | bobertdos, i will go for option 2 then | 22:03 |
| kooldude | smookin: eversince i started using it (6.04lts) | 22:03 |
| Stormx2 | bobertdos, what's the other option? | 22:03 |
| bobertdos | AlexJP: *flashplayer-nonfree | 22:03 |
| AlexJP | bobertdos, well, i think i will... | 22:03 |
| Fructose | newbie_guy: Besides the author murdering his wife, it can also be damaged if your computer shuts down unexpectedly. ext3 is a better bet for typical users | 22:03 |
| instabin | hello | 22:03 |
| fuhgawz | i need help to make ubuntu read a perc4 raid controller | 22:03 |
| AlexJP | bobertdos, in synaptic right? | 22:03 |
| v1k1ng0 | ubottu: thanks, I have debian (no ubuntu) | 22:03 |
| ubottu | v1k1ng0: Error: I am only a bot, please don't think I'm intelligent :) | 22:03 |
| bobertdos | AlexJP,Stormx2: The other option is to install the beta of Flash 10. For me, this solved my audio issues. | 22:04 |
| loz | kooldude: i get this when i type ossinfo -e 11: HD Audio play front (VMIX0) (device file /dev/oss/hdaudio0/pcm0) | 22:04 |

| AngryPunk | Hello everyone, I've got a strange problem. There is a blank disc icon on my desktop, my drive is empty, it works in windows, but i cant get it to even open up in Ubuntu because it thinks theres a blank disc in it when there is not | 22:04 |
| Flannel | Fructose: Please stop that, it's not relevant. | 22:04 |
| Stormx2 | bobertdos, okay, cause I'm having audio issues with flash 9 too. | 22:04 |
| Slart | Fructose: what does the author's personal life has to do with the product.. there is a team behind reiserfs.. | 22:04 |
| smookin | Kooldude: the thing i was browseing ubuntu forums a wile back in search of the drivers and i came across a topic which said use NDSWRAPPER to make ur hardware work on ubuntu | 22:04 |
| Stormx2 | bobertdos, do you have any install tips for flash 10? | 22:04 |
| kooldude | smookin: it should come preinstalled if you have the shipit version for shure | 22:05 |
| AlexJP | bobertdos, how would i install it | 22:05 |
| Fructose | Slart: Was a team. Development came to a halt due to trial. | 22:05 |
| Slart | newbie_guy: the wikipedia has some good info on reiserfs http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/ReiserFS | 22:05 |
| bobertdos | AlexJP,Stormx2: The main tip for 10 is to make absolutely certain you have no other active versions of Flash or Gnash anywhere in the system. | 22:05 |
| kooldude | loz: what is your cards name | 22:05 |
| loz | kooldude: i think the program is working fine; but still no sound , there is no preferences | 22:05 |
| chriswr | how do i switch my cube spin from ctrl + alt + left click to just middle click? | 22:05 |

| Xzerious | Any help for a newbie? | 22:06 |
| Stormx2 | bobertdos: okay, cheers | 22:06 |
| stefg | !ask | Xzerious | 22:06 |
| AlexJP | bobertdos, where do i find this beta | 22:06 |
| ubottu | Xzerious: Please don't ask to ask a question, ask the question (all on ONE line, so others can read and follow it easily). If anyone knows the answer they will most likely answer. :-) | 22:06 |
| chriswr | xzerious: you needing help? | 22:06 |
| kooldude | loz: srry edit-> prefrinces | 22:06 |
| Fructose | Xzerious: It's probably a hardware problem. I told you in #linux. | 22:06 |
| Xzerious | I am using a live cd for ubuntu, but whenever I try to install it it will come up "Permission Denied" | 22:06 |
| Xzerious | Like 20 times or something. | 22:06 |
| bobertdos | AlexJP,Stormx2: Here is the link to the tar: http://download.macromedia.com/pub/labs/flashplayer10/flashplayer10_install_linux_070208.tar.gz | 22:07 |
| Xzerious | It will load up quite well for a couple of mins then it will come up "Permission denied". | 22:07 |
| chriswr | Xzerious: probably have it set to root permision | 22:07 |
| e-zak | bobertodos, I'm running Hardy Heron, why you asked? | 22:07 |
| smookin | Kooldude: thanks any way for your help realy appreciated | 22:07 |
| Fructose | chriswr: It's a LiveCD | 22:07 |
| Xzerious | Yeh | 22:07 |
| kooldude | smookin: just to let you know... from what i know is that ndswrapper is a network card muti driver | 22:07 |
| === scotty2 is now known as scotty2-work | ||
| bobertdos | e-zak: Well, I wanted to be sure you weren't still running the old Beta or anything like that. | 22:08 |
| Fructose | Xzerious: You've tried mutliple liveCDs and both have given you rather cryptic problems on this 5-year-old machine of yours. There's a very good chance it's a hardware problem. | 22:08 |
| chriswr | Fructose: Xzerious do you not have permisions on live cd? | 22:08 |
| bobertdos | e-zak: You have installed all the updates, right? | 22:08 |
| smookin | Kooldude: Ok thanks | 22:08 |
| e-zak | bobertdos: yes, I did. | 22:08 |
| loz | kooldude: the GUI is of very poor quality, there is no edit or preferences, i hope you do mean in OSS | 22:08 |
| Fructose | chriswr: They should be handled automatically. He can't even boot. | 22:08 |
| kooldude | smookin: hmmm | 22:08 |
| chriswr | Fructose: so when he boots it comes up with access denied? | 22:09 |
| kooldude | loz: hmm | 22:09 |
| AlexJP | bobertdos, it wont run | 22:09 |
| Stormx2 | bobertdos: not working with amd64... | 22:09 |
| Xzerious | Well, I can boot, it comes up with the menu and stuff and when I click on "Install Ubuntu" but then it will come up with that. | 22:09 |
| kooldude | loz: no in the volume control | 22:09 |
| e-zak | bobertdos: it was working before... i was without net for two weeks and when I updated it, it started to crash.. mainly on youtube | 22:09 |
| AlexJP | bobertdos, im clicking execute on the install file, its just sitting there | 22:09 |
| bobertdos | Stormx2: Oh yes, for you it's going to be harder :p | 22:09 |
| chriswr | xzerious: so your trying to install it? | 22:09 |
| Xzerious | Yep | 22:09 |
| loz | kooldude: no, i am afraid not... | 22:10 |
| kooldude | loz: it is in my os | 22:10 |
| chriswr | Xzerious: i just installed in windows so i could dual boot | 22:10 |
| Fructose | Xzerious: Sounded like a hard drive issue when you gave your Gentoo error message. If you can boot up with the LiveCD, the rest of your hardware is probably fine. | 22:10 |
| kooldude | which version are you carrying | 22:10 |
| den_des | !ubuntu | den_des | 22:10 |
| ubottu | den_des, please see my private message | 22:10 |

| B4light | What do I do to change my screen resolution manually? | 22:10 |
| Xzerious | Ahh | 22:10 |
| Fructose | Xzerious: So, if it's an option, I'd try swapping out your hard drive. | 22:10 |
| bobertdos | AlexJP: You have to run the installer from the terminal. | 22:10 |
| chriswr | xzerious: can you private message me the proplem error? | 22:11 |
| stefg | !fixres | B4light | 22:11 |

| Slart | testdisck2: google had some weird ideas about those numbers.. | 22:14 |

| Slart | testdisck2: you typed them in a terminal? | 22:14 |
| AlexJP | bobertdos, how do i get it to start? | 22:14 |
| testdisck2 | Slart nvm sir :) it kinda fixed it self the error | 22:14 |
| AlexJP | do i type sudo start filename here? | 22:14 |

| Slart | testdisck2: no worries | 22:14 |
| Kruzen | Anyone know where I can find information on configuring pam_mount for an AD Ldap home folder path | 22:15 |

| Flannel | soul_786: Yeah. "recommended" is 8G. If you're worried, you can always use Xubuntu. Minimum for Xubuntu is 1.5G | 22:20 |
| bobertdos | AlexJP: How goes it? | 22:20 |
| AlexJP | bobertdos, trying to tell it my mozilla directory | 22:20 |
| zabecki-tech | I really could use help on the file shares | 22:20 |

| Jordan_U | FarmCretin, I would suggest installing something like webshell that will almost certainly work if you set it to listen on port 433 that way you can fix the other stuff once you are behind the firewall and know what they do and don't block | 23:06 |

| kdorf | Seveas: well, thanks for at least verifying I can't get 3D on both of them at the same time so I don't waste time trying to make it work | 23:39 |
| bob39w | Seveas: it says like: mode 4b is 1600x1200 in xorg.log | 23:39 |
| digitaltao | hey guys, i just got a new netgear wireless n USB adapter how to I install and configure it in Ubuntu? | 23:39 |
| Seveas | bob39w, pastebin the entire logfile and give me the url. Need to see the entire lo | 23:39 |
| Seveas | g | 23:39 |
| bob39w | ok | 23:39 |
| chriswr | glitsj16: i know how to edit but the file you are telling me to edit doesnt exist | 23:40 |
| Seveas | digitaltao, make sure you have the latest version of ubuntu and all updates. Then plug it in and it should work. If not, run lsusb after plugging it in and pastebin the output | 23:40 |
| bogeyman | ahh | 23:40 |

| Skyrail | Erm, I'm having a number of problems installing ubuntu, firstly my resolution is stuck at 800x600 (I usually have it at around 1280x1024) but then even worse neither of my HDD's are being recognised at the partitioning step :/ | 23:41 |
| digitaltao | Seveas: allright I will try that. | 23:41 |
| zabecki-tech | I used gedit | 23:41 |
| zabecki-tech | then I reloaded samba | 23:41 |
| gaurio | Ok, here I am again. The thing I forgot to say is I want to remove a directory. How can I do this? | 23:41 |
| zabecki-tech | I get the cannot access message | 23:41 |
| glitsj16 | chriswr; okay .. did you try find or locate to check if you have it somewhere else ? (if you just installed it, run "sudo updatedb" , let that finish and check with "locate conky" to see where it is on HD) | 23:41 |
| bobertdos | zabecki-tech: What's your Windows workgroup name? | 23:42 |
| Seveas | Skyrail, the video problem could be a missing driver (how new is the card?) Haven't heard of unrecognized disks in a looooooong time though. Is the cd ok? | 23:42 |
| zabecki-tech | mshome | 23:42 |
| Seveas | gaurio, sudo rm -r /usr/local/whateveryouinstalled | 23:42 |
| zabecki-tech | Like I said they can see me and the folders in windows but the cannot open the folders. | 23:42 |
| bob39w | Seveas: http://pastebin.com/m582ddfc8 thats all of it. | 23:42 |
| gaurio | Seveas: Thank you again! | 23:42 |
| AlexJP | hello is it possible to chat on multiple servers simultaneously using xchat | 23:42 |
| Starnestommy | AlexJP: yes | 23:43 |
| Skyrail | Seveas: the card is an nVidia 7900GS so it's 'quite' new so to speak. I always have video card problems. Always, no matter what the card it's a complete pain as I can never seem to remember how to fix it properly, and if I do It never works more then once. | 23:43 |
| bolla85 | bye bye and good nigght | 23:44 |
| Seveas | Skyrail, ubuntu devs are still improving nvidia driver integration. After installing hardy (when that finally succeeds) try using the envy tool for the videocard | 23:44 |
| glitsj16 | chriswr: there should be a system-wide /etc/conky/conky.conf .. you can always copy that to your user dir as a base and edit that after renaming it to .conkyrc | 23:44 |
| Seveas | Skyrail, still puzzled about the disks though... what kind of disks? does 'sudo fdisk -l' see them? | 23:44 |
| Skyrail | As for the disc, I'm sure it's okay, I downloaded it using DownloadThemAll (or whatever the addon is called) and used the MD5 sum and it seemed okay with it, I burnt it onto disc in Windows using nero and got the problem, so I tried taking it over onto linux and burning it using that | 23:44 |
| digitaltao_ | Allright here is my pastebin for lsusb http://www.pastebin.org/52466 | 23:44 |
| MaxHeadroom | Hello, does anyone here use Toonel proxy? am trying to find info about their rep | 23:44 |
| bobertdos | zabecki-tech: and you changed all the attributes? browseable, valid users, writable? | 23:45 |
| zabecki-tech | yes | 23:45 |
| Skyrail | Seveas: two different ones, both 250Gb SATA :/ fdisk sees...nothing 0_o | 23:45 |
| zabecki-tech | I want anyone to be able to access them. | 23:45 |
| bobertdos | hmm............Perhaps you should try making a new directory in Home with maximum permissions to all. | 23:46 |
| AlexJP | StarfleetNDP, any tips? | 23:46 |
| bob39w | Seveas: did you get my pastebin? and thanks.. | 23:46 |
| zabecki-tech | I have tried that. | 23:46 |
| chriswr | locate conky | 23:46 |
| lazertek | anybody know how i can make posts under a different page other than home in wordpress? | 23:47 |
| Seveas | bob39w, saw it and am reading it, the driver is quite unhelpful as it doesn't say why attempts to use higher resolutions fail, which seems to indicate that they don't fail | 23:47 |
| Seveas | bob39w, which resolution do you get? | 23:47 |
| Seveas | lazertek, try #wordpress :) | 23:47 |

| askand | What does it take to have a package backported? | 23:48 |
| lazertek | Seveas: i did but nobody is active on there... and since I am putting up info on ubuntu i thought maybe someone could help me out here | 23:48 |
| arooni-mobile | ubuntu has been freezing up a bit often; how can i figure out why that happened (twice today) | 23:48 |
| Seveas | askand, someone who backports it :) | 23:48 |
| notwist | wow, i wish somebody told me about "envy" before i tried installing nvidia drivers manually... | 23:48 |
| lazertek | Seveas: didn't get you | 23:49 |
| bob39w | ok i used the 915 res hack or what ever and i got it to get me to liike 1280x1024 with the choice of 1600x1200 but i click it and it all goes WILD. like black screen and like 5 diff screens. | 23:49 |
| Jack_Sparrow | lazertek You need to ask in Wordpress and be patient | 23:49 |
| Seveas | bob39w, try using 'intel' instead of 'i810' in /etc/X11/xorg.conf | 23:49 |
| glitsj16 | chriswr: there's a howto at http://sudosys.be/?q=conky you might find instructive | 23:49 |
| bob39w | ok | 23:50 |
| digitaltao_ | So I Just bought a new netgear wireless usb adapter WN121T. Ubuntu is not recongnizeing it even though it shows up in lsusb. Here is my pastebin for LSUSB http://www.pastebin.org/52466 any ideas guys? | 23:50 |
| Seveas | that doesn't need the 915 hack | 23:50 |
| bob39w | ok | 23:50 |
| zabecki-tech | any ideas | 23:50 |
| lazertek | Jack_Sparrow: i know but there is no one active there so if someone here knows it would be great help | 23:50 |
| bob39w | so do i set my xorg.conf to defult? | 23:50 |
| Seveas | lazertek, apparently noone in here knows, sorry :) | 23:50 |
| Jack_Sparrow | lazertek We are politely telling you that asking here is offtopic | 23:50 |
| MonkeysUncle | ya offtopic bitch | 23:51 |
| Jack_Sparrow | MonkeysUncle Please dont do that | 23:51 |
| lazertek | Jack_Sparrow: i know... sorry about that... guess i'll ask in ubuntu offtopic | 23:51 |
| lazertek | MonkeysUncle: go suck yo ***** you *** ** * ***** figure it out... | 23:51 |
| bobertdos | zabecki-tech: I admit, I'm running out | 23:51 |
| lazertek | MonkeysUncle: you can't help then keep shut | 23:51 |

| Seveas | digitaltao_, you'll need to use ndiswrapper with that thing | 23:52 |
| Seveas | https://answers.edge.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+question/23148 should help you along | 23:52 |
| MonkeysUncle | lazertek: sorry, but I dont speak idiot | 23:52 |
| Skyrail | Seveas: does the not-finding-harddisks problem sound like a corrupt download? | 23:52 |
| lazertek | MonkeysUncle: well learn to show some respect then | 23:52 |
| Seveas | Skyrail, not necessarily | 23:53 |
| digitaltao_ | Seveas, ok what is ndiswrapper? | 23:53 |
| lazertek | Jack_Sparrow: i didnt mean to be rude | 23:53 |
| Jack_Sparrow | lazertek Stop | 23:53 |
| lazertek | Jack_Sparrow: ok... lol .. i was just apologizing... | 23:53 |
| Seveas | digitaltao_, read that page I linked you to :) | 23:53 |
| MonkeysUncle | oh god... I got kicked cause I told him i dont speak his language | 23:54 |
| MonkeysUncle | what next | 23:54 |
| digitaltao_ | oh thanks sevas I didnt see that | 23:54 |
| zabecki-tech | Well I will try a few things will be back. | 23:54 |

| === SunWuKung is now known as SunWuKung|away | ||
| Skyrail | Seveas: if it's nothing terribly obvious or a problem with ubuntu/my hardware then maybe I should try and see if other distros recognise them...I need to get some up-to-date distros really haha | 23:54 |
| Seveas | Skyrail, try fedora, their latest version is a bit newer than ubuntu's latest. Could just be the difference. I suspect a missing driver for your sata controller | 23:55 |
| === onisciente is now known as Diego-Poa | ||
| Skyrail | Seveas: that's a shame, maybe i can try next release, or if anyone creates the drivers for the next update for 8.04. I'll scout around for other distros, I just picked ubuntu as it was the first distro I picked a while ago to get into linux =] | 23:57 |
| Yud_Zroc | how do i use a windows xp recover cd (oem) to restore windows... | 23:58 |
| Yud_Zroc | grub wont let me | 23:58 |
| Jack_Sparrow | Skyrail did you try booting the cd with all_generic_ide | 23:58 |
| Seveas | Skyrail, the 2nd alpha version of the next ubuntu release is also out already. You could try that to see if the driver is there. It's not recommended for daily use yet though | 23:58 |
| Seveas | Yud_Zroc, find a windows support channel. This is ubuntu support | 23:58 |
| Yud_Zroc | Seveas: its an ubuntu problem....it wont let me can it... (its for a friend) | 23:59 |
| Seveas | Yud_Zroc, and grub doesn't boot cd's. If you want to boot from cd, change that in your bios | 23:59 |
| MonkeysUncle | but I thought Ubuntu loves | 23:59 |
| MonkeysUncle | Windows | 23:59 |
| Jack_Sparrow | Skyrail To get live cd to run this often helps..At start or install press F6 and remove Quiet and Splash from the command line. If it still fails.. Repeat and after removing quiet and splash add all_generic_ide before the "--" | 23:59 |
| Jack_Sparrow | MonkeysUncle Again, please stop.. Try and stay on topic | 23:59 |
