| neopsyche | histo: see above | 00:08 |
| overlordpuppy | I think he means resolution across different monitors used as a shared display, instead of separate? | 00:08 |
| overlordpuppy | Is that about right? | 00:08 |
| Drk_Guy | Hi | 00:09 |
| histo | neopsyche: have you tried the nvidia setttings thing? | 00:09 |
| neopsyche | overlordpuppy: not exactly.. it will be a pure video signal that will get converted again at point of entry to the next system.. but .. it is just video.. not a desktop image.. so .. if i click stop .. on VLC .. the stream stops going out of s-video .. for example ;-) | 00:09 |

| Kronos | kitche sorry, its ep1centre from a min ago, i was using pidgin and it doesnt highlight when people chat to you i couldnt make sence of what was going on | 00:12 |
| neopsyche | Drk_Guy: they came with some nice option (especially for laptops too) to output a video overlay.. you could adjust the size of the screen output on tv.. and it would automatically resize a widescreen video to fit with black borders on 4:3 | 00:12 |
| Odd-rationale | porkchop: if you just want to try it out for some. or you are not too sure whether you really want to use Ubuntu, then youcould use Wubi. | 00:12 |

| Drk_Guy | !xinerama | neopsyche | 00:13 |

| Kronos | kitche: unfortunatly i dont know any different and i didnt exactly chose it... its what comes installed on the NAS as standard provided i'm making the right assumption in beliving that SAMBA is the bit of software that runs the NAS? | 00:22 |
| Drk_Guy | neopsyche, Ok, so we're on track, this might be easy as pie | 00:23 |

| bobertdos | Textbook: yeah, you shouldn't have to reinstall XP if the two are already on separate partitions....... | 01:08 |
| genii | Ben43: There isn't one | 01:09 |
| unop | Blaqlight, yea, big difference - urxvt is a fork from the original rxvt | 01:09 |
| KenBW3 | bobertdos: I meant hold XP altogether, or wipe it if already there | 01:09 |
| KenBW3 | :P | 01:09 |

| Sylphid | synapse9856, yes when associating ive noticed that the speed does appear to sync low and increase within a minute or so | 01:41 |
| squarebracket | also make sure you install qjackctl | 01:41 |

| Jack_Sparrow | rubi you can try this if you want a quick fix.. sudo apt-get install nvidia-settings go into settings and pick a generic lcd monitor and your res and hope for the best | 01:44 |
| soundray | insta: still no source? | 01:44 |
| rubi | Jack_Sparrow, mine is a Samsung - do i need to change the "generic " to samsung or does it not matter? | 01:44 |
| overlordpuppy | jamus: Wow. That was really random. | 01:44 |

| kyncani | Odd-rationale: oh, right, it's just that I asked him it depended heavily on what he did want to do, and xul is somehow specific, but I guess it's all right | 01:59 |
| glitsj16 | Magno182002: there's cairo-dock besides AWN | 01:59 |
| guyzmo | dunno, I'm asking, I don't know what's affected | 01:59 |
| jacob_linux | rockenrola1, the owner of the pc is mines | 01:59 |
| guyzmo | what's the difference between reporting a bug and asking a question ? | 01:59 |
| soundray | guyzmo: you don't have to report against a specific package | 01:59 |
| Magno182002 | glitsj16: ok ty i ll look for it ty vm | 01:59 |
| synapse9856 | Sylphid: 2 stories. Had no problems before with ubuntu, though that was back around edgy. | 01:59 |
| jacob_linux | rockenrola1, my brother uses it to check his myspace though, while i use it for classwork | 01:59 |
| blario6 | Jack_Sparrow: thanks again for the help earlier! finally figured it out | 02:00 |
| guyzmo | ok | 02:00 |
| bazhang | Magno182002, as far as dock animation, awn is at or near the top; you may try more compiz effects if that is what you are looking for-->help in #compiz-fusion | 02:00 |
| soundray | guyzmo: you should be pretty sure that a package needs changing if you report a bug | 02:00 |
| guyzmo | well I don't know | 02:00 |
| Sylphid | synapse9856, with fw-cutter? | 02:00 |
| ColdFyre | http://ralree.com/images/MacPCLinuxTruth.jpg | 02:00 |
| guyzmo | all worked when I was running feisty | 02:00 |
| guyzmo | and it's broken with hardy heron | 02:00 |
| Magno182002 | bazhang: ty i ll look now | 02:00 |
| jerrymay | anyone know what ia32-libs does? | 02:00 |
| rockenrola1 | jacob_linux: ok. but what seems to be the exact problem? can you ping the machine. can you connect to the machine using rdesktop? | 02:00 |
| bazhang | ColdFyre, you have a question with that? if not do not paste random things here | 02:00 |
| synapse9856 | Sylphid: I think it was ndiswrapper. | 02:00 |
| bizthepirate | Hey, how can I get gEdit to open files as read and write on a FTP connection, and not as Read Only. | 02:00 |
| edz | heh. | 02:01 |
| jerrymay | i'm trying to get maple 11 to work on 64bit does ia32-libs help? | 02:01 |
| edz | jacob, do you have samba? | 02:01 |
| jacob_linux | rockenrola1, i am able to use it, but i'm in summer school and i need to acess my data, but i can't get in with my brother in myspace, | 02:01 |
| glitsj16 | bizthepirate: look at http://www.micahcarrick.com/09-29-2007/gedit-html-editor.html, it has it all nicely written down :) | 02:01 |
| soundray | jerrymay: probably, if you can't get a native 64bit version | 02:02 |
| jacob_linux | rockenrola1, i'm a student preparing to go to college | 02:02 |
| Blaqlight | jerrymay: no. the number 32 implies 32 bit. | 02:02 |
| bizthepirate | soundray: heh, thanks/ | 02:02 |
| synapse9856 | Sylphid: I had an ndiswrapper working on it last week, but it would not connect to wireless for the life of it. It didn't show any APs. | 02:02 |
| jacob_linux | rockenrola1, cuny college :) | 02:02 |
| === Swish[\] is now known as Swish | ||
| === SuperLag_ is now known as SuperL4g | ||
| Blaqlight | jerrymay: course it could be backwards compatible too, as soundray said. | 02:03 |
| jacob_linux | rockenrola1, :( | 02:03 |
| jacob_linux | rockenrola1, I guess i'll work something out | 02:03 |
| soundray | !info ia32-libs | 02:03 |
| ubottu | Package ia32-libs does not exist in hardy | 02:03 |
| jacob_linux | rockenrola1, :( | 02:03 |
| Amun | ok. i used nvidia-settings to increase resolution to 1600x1200 (which I know my monitor can handle) on my Geforce FX 5950 Ultra. GDM's resolution makes it so I can barely see the login/password boxes, and when I re-login to ubuntu, my resolution is defaulted back to 800x600. how can i fix this? | 02:03 |
| edz | jacob: slap your brother in the face, kick him off his own machine, then access your data. | 02:04 |
| jerrymay | maple 11 is a 32 bit program | 02:04 |
| edz | :) | 02:04 |
| davemcnamara | I'm hoping for a bit of help- I'm online with my Leopard partition and I'd like to update to the prerelease MadWifi drivers in Ubuntu but I don't have any way to get online there. | 02:04 |
| rockenrola1 | jacob_linux: pacience!! when you login to the xp machine, does it display a warning saying that someone is using the pc? | 02:04 |
| St-Lemur | Hi, I recently upgraded to Hardy from Gutsy. Lately Firefox has been exhibiting a behavior where it loses sound and I have to kill it; when I re-start it it shows up in top but does not launch a window. Restarting X does not fix this. | 02:04 |
| davemcnamara | There's a FAT32 partition, too if it means anything. | 02:04 |
| bizthepirate | glitsj16: sorry, thanks to you.. my vision or add is bad :-/ | 02:04 |
| St-Lemur | Also, I have no sound in other programs. Is the process pulseaudio supposed to be hanging around? | 02:05 |
| kyncani | davemcnamara: update some packages to prerelease ? how about installing intrepid current alpha ? | 02:05 |
| glitsj16 | bizthepirate: no worries, ubuntu has accesibility support :p | 02:05 |
| bizthepirate | glitsj16: for add? | 02:05 |
| jacob_linux | rockenrola1, ... | 02:05 |
| jacob_linux | rockenrola1, ... | 02:05 |
| glitsj16 | bizthepirate: there'a a add helper plugin in compiz yes | 02:05 |
| Blaqlight | St-Lemur: are you using OSS or ALSA for sound? | 02:06 |
| rockenrola1 | jacob_linux: pacience. I asked you a question | 02:06 |
| bizthepirate | glitsj16: no way.... lol. | 02:06 |
| oc80z | hey where is the entire log from when i boot | 02:06 |
| soundray | jerrymay: the ia32-libs will probably enable you to run it. You may have to call it with linux32 to set up the environment properly | 02:06 |
| rockenrola1 | jacob_linux: does the cp machine displays a warning if someone is using the pc? | 02:06 |
| jacob_linux | rockenrola1, "the user "" is currently logged on to this computer. If you continue, JF has to disconnect from this computer | 02:06 |
| oc80z | i am looking to fix the was my notebook resumes/hibernates.. its not working | 02:06 |
| St-Lemur | Blaqlight: ALSA. When I was running ALSA under Gutsy I had a similar problem for a while but resolved it, but I forget how. I haven't changed any sound settings by hand since upgrading. | 02:06 |
| glitsj16 | bizthepirate: yup, using it myself to darken some windows, works great | 02:06 |
| jacob_linux | rockenrola1, yes | 02:06 |
| synapse9856 | Sylphid: Well, thanks for your help. Im going to mess around with ndiswrapper on it, see if it clears things up. | 02:07 |
| Dfronius | oc80z: do you have keytouch installed? | 02:07 |
| ani1 | 1> Afternoon folks i seem to be have a sound problem and wondering if anybody would mind helping with it. Every once and a while when i reboot i loose sound completely. I usually reinstall the alsa packages run sudo /etc/init.d/alsa-utils restart but this time its not working. If i run sudo /sbin/alsa force-reload i can get sound out of one ear but if i modify the sound slider at all the sound stops working. I have been through the sound troub | 02:07 |
| ani1 | les | 02:07 |
| ani1 | <ani1> hooting, the link that ubottu provides, but none of the posts seem to fix the problem except the alsa force-reload which only works if i dont modify the volume. Any sugestions? | 02:07 |
| mistform | hey, can someone help me out with this? I'm trying to install abraca. I tried sudo apt-get, but the program isn't working. then I downloaded the .3 from their website and I get the following errors when I try to build | 02:07 |
| mistform | http://paste.ubuntu.com/29164/ | 02:07 |
| rockenrola1 | jacob_linux: what options does it give you? | 02:07 |
| joshua__ | does anyone know anything about visual effects in ubuntu? | 02:07 |
| Blaqlight | St-Lemur: pulseaudio mysteriously showed up on everyone's machines after upgrading to hardy. | 02:07 |
| jacob_linux | rockenrola1, " "" is currently logged on this compute, and did not allow you to connect | 02:08 |
| St-Lemur | Blaqlight: Kill it? | 02:08 |
| Daisuke_Ido | err | 02:08 |
| macd | Blaqlight, it was pretty intentional ;) | 02:08 |
| Daisuke_Ido | Blaqlight: "mysteriously" is probably not the right term, as it was planned for | 02:08 |
| edz | would you guys say that firefox is the best browser for linux? | 02:08 |
| Dfronius | Any of you savy with Samba? | 02:08 |
| glitsj16 | St-Lemur: or configure it and use it ;) | 02:08 |
| Blaqlight | macd: I know, but it also seems to be a problem for some people's sound. | 02:08 |
| rockenrola1 | jacob_linux: well you can't do anything about that. your brother has to allow you to log in | 02:08 |
| edz | samba is easy | 02:08 |
| macd | Dfronius, pertaining to? | 02:08 |
| jacob_linux | rockenrola1, mmm, it seems that my brother has been declining the question | 02:08 |
| macd | !samba > Dfronius see the provate message from ubotu | 02:09 |
| ubottu | Dfronius, please see my private message | 02:09 |
| rockenrola1 | jacob_linux: exactly? talk to him | 02:09 |
| Sylphid | synapse9856, you may want to try the drivers from openwrt.net | 02:09 |
| Odd-rationale | edz: it is probably the best browser for any platform... :) | 02:09 |
| jacob_linux | rockenrola1, ok thank you VM! | 02:09 |
| rockenrola1 | jacob_linux: sorry. without question mark | 02:09 |
| Odd-rationale | but best is subjective... | 02:09 |
| edz | yaaa. | 02:09 |
| Dfronius | I can see my ubuntu box on the xp machine, but I can't interact or see the shares, and I can't see the xp box in my nautilus network places, but I can see and interact with the shares via terminal | 02:09 |
| macd | edz, with the exception of flash handling ff is pretty decent | 02:09 |
| soundray | edz: real men telnet to port 80 | 02:09 |
| Chad | Hey guys | 02:09 |
| Chad | i resized my partition | 02:09 |
| edz | hahaha soundray | 02:10 |
| Dfronius | macd: I already looked through those pages, and nothing there partains to my isue | 02:10 |
| edz | why not just lynx | 02:10 |
| edz | same thing. | 02:10 |
| macd | soundray, dont forget the curl+netcat warriors ;P | 02:10 |
| Chad | My windows partition is now 100 gb and i got 60gb not in a partition | 02:10 |
| amenado | jacob_linux-> take care of your brother's girlfriend, what willget him off the pc soonest | 02:10 |
| Kattman | Dfronius: try the machines Ipaddress | 02:10 |
| amenado | that* | 02:10 |
| Kattman | ipaddress | 02:10 |
| St-Lemur | Blaqlight: Hm, I'm having trouble switching between windows as well. Window pops to front but the contents is blank | 02:10 |
| macd | Dfronius, sometimes making the ubuntu box the WINS server helps resolve that | 02:10 |
| jacob_linux | amenado ok | 02:10 |
| Chad | When I'm installing ubuntu, specifically when I'm in the manual partition setup, what setting should i use? | 02:10 |
| davemcnamara | kyncani suggested that to update my MadWifi drivers to prerelease from os x I "update some packages to prerelease". How can I do this? | 02:10 |
| Dfronius | Kattman: I tried that too. smb:/// doesn't connect | 02:10 |
| Dfronius | macd: how do I do that? | 02:11 |
| AnimatedBox | does anyone know how to get gfxboot to work? | 02:11 |
| Kattman | smb:// ip address | 02:11 |
| jacob_linux | amenado i wish i can find a way to cutt him off as an administrator | 02:11 |
| chupy | someone speak spansih? | 02:11 |
| Odd-rationale | !es | 02:11 |
| ubottu | En la mayoría de canales Ubuntu se comunica en inglés. Para ayuda en Español, por favor entre en los canales #ubuntu-es o #kubuntu-es. | 02:11 |
| Kattman | two many /'s | 02:11 |
| Chad | I have 60 gb that i want to make my ubuntu partition but what format should i make it as, and how should i mount it? | 02:11 |
| edz | yo hablo espanol boquito | 02:11 |
| macd | Dfronius, in windows youll need to goto network config, and find the tab for advanced tcp/netbios and enable netbios over tcp, and make the ubuntu box the WINS server | 02:11 |
| Odd-rationale | Chad: ext3 is reccomened | 02:12 |
| edz | ext3 | 02:12 |
| __yy_ | Chad: the defaults should work fine for you | 02:12 |
| Blaqlight | St-Lemur: empty windows? | 02:12 |
| Odd-rationale | Chad: mount as / (root) | 02:12 |
| kyncani | davemcnamara: wait, by prerelease, you do mean that you don't want madwifi drivers already available in hardy but want something newer, right ? | 02:12 |
| Chad | Odd-rationale: also i'm dual booting windows and ubuntu | 02:12 |
| St-Lemur | Blaqlight: Yes. And apparently I can't switch to a terminal with ctrl-alt-f1 either | 02:12 |
| macd | Chad, the only thing I would change is making /home a seperate partition using about 60% of your disk. | 02:12 |
| Odd-rationale | Chad: the ubuntu installer should detect your windows parttion and make an grub entry for it... | 02:13 |
| Blaqlight | St-Lemur: since all this has been happening have you upgraded or something? | 02:13 |
| davemcnamara | kyncani: I want the ones that will make my atheros apple airport work. | 02:13 |
| leftyfb | Has anyone here used sshguard? I can run it manually to stderr as sudo, but adding it to syslog is giving me nothing. I THINK it's a problem with permissions, but i've already tried chowning sshguard to syslog and it still gave me nothing. Nothing in messages or syslog about sshguard at all. | 02:13 |
| St-Lemur | Blaqlight: It started happening after I upgraded, which was a few days ago | 02:13 |

| Chad | Well it sees my windows partition | 02:13 |
| Sylphid | synapse9856, this may help https://help.ubuntu.com/community/WifiDocs/Driver/bcm43xx/Feisty_No-Fluff#head-bc33832c0547766a33c3a84f13f971ca757b2851 | 02:13 |
| kyncani | davemcnamara: and the ones in hardy don't work, right ? | 02:13 |
| soundray | AnimatedBox: have you had a look at /usr/share/doc/gfxboot/gfxboot.html ? | 02:13 |
| Blaqlight | St-Lemur: have you full rebooted the computer since them? | 02:13 |
| Chad | so i then go into manual then i click on free space then new partition | 02:13 |
| Chad | right? | 02:13 |
| Blaqlight | then* | 02:13 |
| Chad | currently my windows partition is 100 gb while the free space is 60 gb | 02:14 |
| St-Lemur | Blaqlight: Yes. A reboot resolves the problems temporarily but they recur. Restarting X doesn't. | 02:14 |
| Odd-rationale | Chad: correct. | 02:14 |
| AnimatedBox | soundray: no. Didn't even think they had documentation about it | 02:14 |
| amenado | jacob_linux-> you have to be logged on it before you can modify things to allow as second remote logon | 02:14 |
| AnimatedBox | soundray: checking that out | 02:14 |
| __yy_ | Chad: there's an option to "use all available free space" ... why don't you use that? | 02:14 |
| davemcnamara | Kyncani: whatever came with the latest release doesn't seem to. https://help.ubuntu.com/community/MacBookPro#Wireless tells me how if I could connect from Ubunto already | 02:14 |
| insta | soundray: thanks for the help my printer now works over the network. | 02:14 |
| Chad | and my mount point should be? | 02:14 |
| kyncani | davemcnamara: if that's so, then you could the latest ubuntu's intrepid alpha and see from the livecd if it works or not. If it does not and there is no howto of some such on the web, then you're outta luck. | 02:14 |
| Chad | Boot? | 02:14 |
| Odd-rationale | Chad: / | 02:14 |

| Magno182002 | hey good night, hum has any fix to sound in more than one apps. example if i use audacity, any other player off music n video dont has sound, anyone has any tip i ve tried sound server but doesn't work; | 02:15 |

| insta | soundray: it was a cannon mx700 I need to compile support for its network protocal | 02:15 |
| ubottu | insta: Glad you made it! :-) | 02:15 |
| davemcnamara | Kyncani: Okay, thank you. | 02:15 |
| Rolaulten | Good evening, Seems like I am having some strange wireless issues with my Ubuntu install...best I can see I have the drivers loaded, however it does not seem like any packets are being sent from my PC to the router....and yet I know the network is running because I am able to read this IRC on a different PC | 02:15 |
| Chad | Odd-rationale: my mount point should be / | 02:15 |
| jacob_linux | amenado are you sure? take another look. IDK | 02:15 |
| insta | is there any way i can get this in to a package for the repositories? | 02:15 |
| bazhang | Magno182002, audacity the editor? or do you mean audacious | 02:15 |
| soundray | insta: I have a Canon -- will never get another | 02:15 |
| Odd-rationale | Chad: correct. | 02:15 |
| === freaky[t] is now known as fReAkY[t] | ||
| insta | soundray: it works perfect now | 02:16 |
| amenado | Jacob_linux yep am very sure | 02:16 |
| Magno182002 | audacity too other app has same prob iff i use flash video no other app ll has sound | 02:16 |
| soundray | insta: it's worth filing a bug report | 02:16 |
| __yy_ | Rolaulten: can you ping the not working box from the pc you're on now? | 02:16 |
| Chad | Odd-rationale: and this will still allow me to be able to boot windows from the windows partition when i want, right? | 02:16 |
| joshua__ | can someone help me please | 02:16 |
| Blaqlight | !ask | 02:16 |
| ubottu | Please don't ask to ask a question, ask the question (all on ONE line, so others can read and follow it easily). If anyone knows the answer they will most likely answer. :-) | 02:16 |
| bazhang | joshua__, with compiz? | 02:16 |
| joshua__ | i enabled visual effects on gnome and now i cant move windows around or close them | 02:16 |
| soundray | !bugs > insta | 02:16 |
| ubottu | insta, please see my private message | 02:16 |
| joshua__ | yes | 02:16 |
| bazhang | #compiz-fusion joshua__ | 02:17 |
| Odd-rationale | Chad: yes. ubuntu should detect the windows partition. | 02:17 |
| St-Lemur | Blaqlight: In fact, I'm going to have to reboot now, as I can't get up a terminal window. BIAM. | 02:17 |
| Odd-rationale | Chad: make sure that you set the windows partition to not be formatted... | 02:17 |
| Chad | Odd-rationale: ok well here i go O_O wish me luck | 02:17 |
| Rolaulten | _yy_: no, I do not know its network IP... | 02:17 |
| soundray | joshua__: try Alt-F2 metacity --replace | 02:17 |
| _TRJkiller_ | hi | 02:18 |
| Chad | Odd-rationale: actually one more question. what should my location for my new partition be, beggining or end? | 02:18 |
| Magno182002 | bazhang: sorry iff u dont see this is here "audacity too other app has same prob iff i use flash video no other app ll has sound" | 02:18 |
| joshua__ | where? in console? | 02:18 |
| soundray | joshua__: Alt-F2 | 02:18 |
| Odd-rationale | Chad: biggining. | 02:18 |
| __yy_ | Rolaulten: run ifconfig on the unworking machine and check its ip then. | 02:18 |
| Chad | Odd-rationale: ok thanks | 02:18 |
| soundray | joshua__: or in terminal if you prefer | 02:18 |
| joshua__ | what do i type in terminal? | 02:18 |
| AnimatedBox | hm. What's the command to see what device my OS is installed on? | 02:18 |
| Rolaulten | _yy_: will do, seems like I cant even load terminal up...let me just reboot this box real fast... | 02:19 |
| joshua__ | the alt f2 doens twork | 02:19 |
| Moonlight_Shadow | Can I install windows + backtrack + ubuntu dual boot ? | 02:19 |
| soundray | joshua__: metacity --replace | 02:19 |
| Moonlight_Shadow | on the same PC | 02:19 |
| __yy_ | Rolaulten: can't open a terminal? That bodes worse than network problems... | 02:19 |
| rockenrola1 | AnimatedBox: try df -h | 02:19 |
| joshua__ | that worked thanks | 02:19 |
| Chad | Odd-rationale: it gave me a message saying i should select a partition as swap space, how do i do that, and why do i need to do that? | 02:19 |
| joshua__ | what does that mean? | 02:19 |
| Rolaulten | _yy_: Yea...lets see if that goes away with a reboot | 02:19 |
| guyzmo | dammit | 02:19 |
| Odd-rationale | Chad: do you have more free space? | 02:20 |
| guyzmo | it's now asking me a PIN to pair with my mouse -_- | 02:20 |
| bazhang | joshua__, you just shut off compiz | 02:20 |
| soundray | joshua__: it disables compiz by replacing it with metacity (the non-effect window manager) | 02:20 |
| Chad | Odd-rationale: no i just used the entire thing for the partition | 02:20 |
| soundray | Moonlight_Shadow: backtrack? | 02:20 |
| _TRJkiller_ | Hello | 02:20 |
| Odd-rationale | Chad: ok. go back and make it a bit smaller... | 02:20 |
| tyler__ | how do i view usb ports?? in ubuntu??? | 02:20 |
| joshua__ | why doesnt compiz work though? | 02:20 |
| Moonlight_Shadow | yes soundray | 02:20 |
| Odd-rationale | Chad: how much ram do you have? | 02:20 |
| glitsj16 | Magno182002: it is a bit of a read, but http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?p=4928900 and http://www.pulseaudio.org/wiki/PerfectSetup have solutions for both issues (install the libportaudio2 for audacity and do the other pulseaudio configurations) | 02:20 |
| joshua__ | cant i have compiz and also this? | 02:20 |
| soundray | Moonlight_Shadow: what is it? | 02:20 |
| Chad | Odd-rationale: 1 gig, so like leave 5 gigs of free space? | 02:21 |
| Odd-rationale | Chad: 2 gb will be sufficient. | 02:21 |
| Moonlight_Shadow | soundray http://www.remote-exploit.org/backtrack.html | 02:21 |
| Moonlight_Shadow | !! | 02:21 |
| Odd-rationale | Chad: generally, swap == 2*ram | 02:21 |
| St-Lemur | re. | 02:21 |
| Chad | Odd-rationale: ok and with that 2 gb should i create another partition? | 02:21 |
| rockenrola1 | tyler__: try in the terminal lsusb | 02:21 |
| soundray | joshua__: try compiz --replace -- maybe restarting fixes the problem | 02:21 |
| Odd-rationale | Chad: yes. select use as swap. | 02:21 |
| Odd-rationale | Chad: for the partition type | 02:21 |
| Cybergeek|Vista | hi, | 02:22 |
| soundray | Moonlight_Shadow: so you want to triple-boot? | 02:22 |

| SebNaitsabes | Chad: install Ubuntu inside Windows in a http://www.virtualbox.org virtualmachine instead | 03:10 |

| bobertdos | blUbuntu: What that means is that the files have been copied over as read-only. You can take care of that by adding write permissions. | 03:18 |

| Odd-rationale | Chad: could you post a screen shot? | 03:31 |
| oc80z | :P | 03:31 |
| Azur3 | ok, so if I load up windows I can use the tool that i used to partition my hdd for when I installed linux? | 03:31 |
| SebNaitsabes | which tool? | 03:31 |
| chris_gr | hi..Is it possible to restore a backup with partimage from a bootable harddrive?i mean to boot the HDD and restore a windose partition on that HDD.Single HDD system | 03:31 |
| rubengonc | Azur3, right | 03:31 |
| QuarterLife-Ubun | Hey all. | 03:32 |
| glitsj16 | evilbug: anything in your logs to start looking for clues as to why it does that ? | 03:32 |
| masood | ok.. i'll try them out now .. thanks ;) | 03:32 |
| Chad | Odd-rationale: http://imagebin.ca/view/tkgAih.html | 03:32 |
| rubengonc | Azur3, something like aprtition magic or something | 03:32 |
| SebNaitsabes | chris_gr: try #windows | 03:32 |
| QuarterLife-Ubun | Has anyone fixed Steam friends in wine yet? | 03:32 |
| strixv | Is there a way to list a directory's contents ("ls") and have it show the directories first? | 03:32 |
| oc80z | has anyone set up Hibernate / Suspend for their laptop? | 03:32 |
| QuarterLife-Ubun | Quick question while I'm still here :) | 03:32 |
| Azur3 | um, I think it was the default windows partitioner, ok thanks for the help guys, If I have anyproblem, I'll jump on the irc in firefox | 03:32 |
| evilbug | glitsj16- nothing at all, i installed it like io always have. | 03:32 |
| genii | QuarterLife-Ubun: PErhaps ask them in #winehq | 03:32 |
| SebNaitsabes | Azur3: Windows | 03:32 |
| _punker_ | in my experience windows must be installed first or you will have errors with linux | 03:32 |
| QuarterLife-Ubun | Yeah, will do. | 03:32 |
| SebNaitsabes | cannot do Linux partitions | 03:32 |
| === adi_smg is now known as Dytz^_^Jogja | ||
| QuarterLife-Ubun | Just checking, I'm headed for another irc room anyway | 03:33 |
| === Dytz^_^Jogja is now known as Dytz^_^Nomade | ||
| SebNaitsabes | lame when people leave like that oh well | 03:33 |
| QuarterLife-Ubun | This is default apparently. | 03:33 |
| strixv | oc80z, my hibernate/suspend works *sometimes*, I found better success with another package... s2both is the command | 03:33 |
| Odd-rationale | Chad: there is nothing in there... try posting again... | 03:33 |
| iggykoopa | you can install windows after, just have to reinstall grub | 03:33 |
| SebNaitsabes | he is gone | 03:33 |
| cchance | wow i cant find any Point Of sale that will install.. Anyone have any success with one? | 03:33 |
| oc80z | ok i saw that one when searching | 03:33 |
| * _punker_ tales note of iggykoopa post | 03:33 | |
| Chad | Odd-rationale: http://img254.imageshack.us/img254/1277/screenshotas3.png | 03:33 |
| kevinO | what driver should i be using with intel 945? | 03:33 |
| adityag | what is the cmd to check disk ? | 03:34 |
| oc80z | so strixv what is the (do you know) the command the GUI executed | 03:34 |
| glitsj16 | evilbug: hmm, never encountered "No Bootable Device" .. have you checked your boot partition has the boot flag set ? checked /etc/fstab for wrong UUID's or anything like that ? | 03:34 |
| kevinO | Intel® 945GC and ICH7 | 03:34 |
| oc80z | adityag, fsck | 03:34 |
| orionr | !gcc | 03:34 |
| ubottu | Compiling software from source? Read the tips at https://help.ubuntu.com/community/CompilingSoftware (But remember to search for pre-built !packages first) | 03:34 |
| chris_gr | SebNaitsabes why #windows ?i want to see if this can be done with partimage | 03:34 |
| strixv | oc80z, I don't know, but I suspect the gui uses pm-suspend and pm-hibernate | 03:34 |
| orionr | !asterisk | 03:34 |
| ubottu | Sorry, I don't know anything about asterisk | 03:34 |
| Odd-rationale | Chad: ok. let's try this all again... | 03:34 |
| strixv | oc80z, I have occasional success with suspend on my hp dv 6265us, but it works maybe 1 in 5 times | 03:34 |
| oc80z | Yikes! | 03:35 |
| adityag | oc80z: error "fsck.ext3: Unable to resolve 'UUID=ca27c6d8-b191-4681-9d86-fd1a220dbb56'" | 03:35 |
| Chad | odd-rationale: what about my dos error when i start my comp? | 03:35 |
| Odd-rationale | Chad: delete the /dev/sda2 and the swap partition so that you have just free space... | 03:35 |
| SebNaitsabes | chris_gr: part magic is wht they use for Windows stuff | 03:35 |
| oc80z | See ive got an iBook, so its (G$) not gunna be easy for me to debug when it goes into CLI mode.. | 03:35 |
| oc80z | and i havent found any shutdown/startup log files to shed light on the situation | 03:35 |
| SebNaitsabes | Chad: see my private message | 03:35 |
| iggykoopa | try parted magic or gparted...both good livecd's for doing that stuff | 03:35 |
| bbryan1 | what's the easiest way to install the java firefox plugin in 8.04? | 03:35 |
| Odd-rationale | Chad: hopefull reinstalling grub will fix it... | 03:36 |
| Odd-rationale | Chad: we'll try. | 03:36 |
| SebNaitsabes | bbryan1: there are a few ways | 03:36 |
| _punker_ | knoppix is really good for fixing a busted filesystem | 03:36 |
| chris_gr | SebNaitsabes partimage to backup ntfs work also..i didnt meant part magic | 03:36 |
| oc80z | adityag, try: df -h , look for the right /dev/hda* , usually mounted as /, then fsck <hda#> | 03:36 |
| adityag | whats this people ? WARNING!!! Running e2fsck on a mounted filesystem may cause | 03:36 |
| bbryan1 | SebNaitsabes: suggestions? | 03:36 |
| adityag | SEVERE filesystem damage. | 03:36 |
| oc80z | adityag, also look in etc/fstab | 03:36 |
| oc80z | ooh u cant do that? | 03:36 |
| bbryan1 | adityag: don't run fsck on a mounted file system | 03:36 |
| strixv | *Boot question: I want to increase the resolution/decrease the text size when my machine is booting/shutting down (like when it's doing starting apache..... done) | 03:36 |
| oc80z | *shrug* | 03:36 |
| bobertdos | bbryan1: Yes, a few, it depends on how Firefox is set up, really. | 03:36 |
| * oc80z nukes the sytem | 03:36 | |
| Chad | Odd-rationale: ok now i have my windows partition and free space, thats all | 03:36 |
| SebNaitsabes | bbryan1: the terminal if you know the command synaptic package manager or go to a site with a java plugin for example http://www.jonstorm.com click on where the Java plugin is and install it in Firefox like that | 03:37 |
| bbryan1 | bobertdos: how can i tell how firefox is setup? | 03:37 |
| glitsj16 | bbryan1: sudo apt-get install sun-java6-plugin didn't work ? | 03:37 |
| guyzmo | err you can fsck a mounted filesystem if you remount it readonly | 03:37 |
| guyzmo | eg: sudo mount -o ro,remount / | 03:37 |
| bobertdos | bbryan1: Well, are you using the Firefox that comes built-in to Hardy? | 03:37 |
| bbryan1 | glitsj16: nope | 03:37 |
| Odd-rationale | Chad: create a new partition so that you will just hav 2gb of free space. set mount to /, primary, and beggining. | 03:37 |
| chris_gr | glitsj16 you must have multiverse for that (java plugin...) | 03:37 |
| glitsj16 | bbryan1: that is assuming you run 32 bit ubuntu | 03:37 |
| bbryan1 | bobertdos: yes | 03:37 |
| adityag | bbryan1: how do i run fsck on unmmounted partition ? | 03:37 |
| bbryan1 | adityag: "fsck /dev/sda" | 03:37 |
| glitsj16 | chris_gr: yes, easily added though | 03:38 |
| bbryan1 | where /dev/sda is your unmounted partition | 03:38 |
| oc80z | from the live cd? | 03:38 |
| oc80z | i mean, why would u want to do that? | 03:38 |
| Chad | Odd-rationale: and the bottom to / again | 03:38 |
| joustin | well after spending 3 nights trying to install 8.01 i can only assume that my laptop is toast | 03:38 |
| oc80z | why not just hold the powerbutton, then linux will do it for you on reboot. | 03:38 |
| bobertdos | bbryan1: Hmm, then it's quite strange that gltsj16's suggestion didn't work. Oh well, we can work around that. | 03:38 |
| Odd-rationale | Chad: then with the 2gb of free space make swap, logical, beggining. | 03:38 |
| oc80z | joustin, whats the issue? installation hangs? | 03:38 |
| joustin | nah, i get errors with corruption etc | 03:38 |
| Odd-rationale | Chad: when you are down. let me see another screen shot of what you got... | 03:39 |
| bbryan1 | glitsj16: I don't i'm on 64 bit | 03:39 |
| joustin | i am installing the amd 64 version on my desktop at the moment | 03:39 |
| bbryan1 | that's probably my issue | 03:39 |
| Odd-rationale | done | 03:39 |
| adityag | bbryan1: i dont know the names of those partitions, how do i find it ? | 03:39 |
| bobertdos | bbryan1: You DID install jsun-java6-plugin though? | 03:39 |
| Chad | Odd-rationale: k | 03:39 |
| bobertdos | bbryan1: OH! Oh dear, well that's different. | 03:39 |
| shamilton | Question | 03:39 |
| joustin | i have downloaded and burned about 5 images alternate, full cd etc, and i cannot download the distro update either | 03:39 |
| bbryan1 | bobertdos: no installation candidate | 03:39 |
| bob3213243 | What software do I use to take a picture with my webcam? | 03:39 |
| bbryan1 | bobertdos: I tried installing the gcj java plugin, to no success | 03:40 |
| _punker_ | lol | 03:40 |
| chris_gr | bbryan1 after you enable multiverse remember to use the reload button | 03:40 |
| kevinO | cheese | 03:40 |
| _punker_ | just get a screen capture | 03:40 |
| Atomicsunset | wow this is a full room | 03:40 |
| bbryan1 | chris_gr: i did apt-get update | 03:40 |
| iggykoopa | i think they just added something called cheese for webcam pics | 03:40 |
| shamilton | GTK-Gnutella is saying there is a firewall on a standard highspeed modem (no router). Does Ubuntu 8.04 have a firewall by default? | 03:40 |
| Chad | Odd-rationale: http://img301.imageshack.us/img301/3775/screenshot1yy4.png | 03:40 |
| chris_gr | bbryan1 i meant on synaptic | 03:40 |
| adityag | how do i find the names of the unmounted partitions ? | 03:40 |
| SebNaitsabes | shamilton: yep there is a firewall type thing | 03:40 |
| SebNaitsabes | !firewall | 03:40 |
| ubottu | Ubuntu, like any other linux distribution, has firewall capabilities built-in. The firewall is managed using the 'iptables' command (see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/IptablesHowTo), or GUI applications such as Firestarter (Gnome) or Guarddog (KDE). | 03:40 |
| Atomicsunset | is there a way to increase the wireless thru ubuntu? im unable to connect to a network via ubuntu but no probs in vista hence why how im here now | 03:41 |
| iggykoopa | adi try sudo fdisk -l | 03:41 |
| Odd-rationale | Chad: that shoud be correct. | 03:41 |
| SebNaitsabes | !wireless | 03:41 |
| Atomicsunset | vista sees the network but ubuntu doesnt | 03:41 |
| ubottu | Wireless documentation can be found at https://help.ubuntu.com/community/WifiDocs | 03:41 |
| Chad | Odd-rationale: is that good? | 03:41 |
| Odd-rationale | Chad: looks good try continuing. | 03:41 |
| bbryan1 | bobertdos: there's no way to install it on 64bit? | 03:41 |
| Chad | Odd-rationale: ok | 03:41 |
| SebNaitsabes | !lan | 03:41 |
| ubottu | Sorry, I don't know anything about lan | 03:41 |
| Jack_Sparrow | !chroot | 03:41 |
| ubottu | https://wiki.ubuntu.com/DebootstrapChroot use this to build 32 bit environments on a 64 bit box | 03:41 |
| Joeseph | Hi. I'm having trouble getting adobe flash player working on firefox. the website I am viewing is http://www.nbc.com/The_Office/video/episodes/ ..... How do I get flash working? | 03:41 |
| Odd-rationale | Chad: did you ever reach a stop of installing grub or a bootloader? | 03:42 |
| Odd-rationale | *step | 03:42 |
| SebNaitsabes | Joeseph: ah yes I heped a woman with flash issues last night | 03:42 |
| shamilton | wow, ok is there a gui front end for iptables? | 03:42 |
| bobertdos | bbryan1: There is, but it's..........messy. | 03:42 |
| Chad | Odd-rationale: what do you mean a stop? | 03:42 |
| Odd-rationale | shamilton: firestarter | 03:42 |
| shamilton | thank you | 03:42 |
| iggykoopa | try firestarter for the firewall | 03:42 |
| Odd-rationale | Chad: a step...i mean | 03:42 |
| bbryan1 | bobertdos: have time to explain? | 03:42 |
| joustin | i give up, it seems i am stuck with version 6.06 | 03:42 |
| SebNaitsabes | Joeseph: have you installed Flash from the network or the website? | 03:42 |
| chris_gr | bbryan1 you open synaptic then you go to repositories and enable multiverse,after that you hit the reload button and you then search for java6,the you just click to install the plugin | 03:43 |
| Chad | Odd-rationale: no | 03:43 |
| Jack_Sparrow | Joeseph MSnbc is setup to only allow IE to access those, but there are ways around that.. but I need to go.. Just a nudge in the right direction | 03:43 |
| bbryan1 | chris_gr: i have multiverse enabled | 03:43 |
| Joeseph | SebNaitsabes: I installed it from their website with some guide I found, but It didn't seem to workk.... | 03:43 |
| rockenrola1 | joustin: how about using the update manager to upgrade your system? | 03:43 |
| slackd00d | when i installed ubuntu it noticed my other hard drive, when i finished the install and rebooted it doesnt detect it even though it's in my fstab. mounting it by hand doesn't work either. what could be causing this? | 03:43 |
| bbryan1 | i can't find the plugin in the repository list (likely because i'm on 64bit) | 03:43 |
| Odd-rationale | Chad: well. continue with the install... let's hope this works... when it is done. remove the cd and try booting... | 03:43 |
| Chad | Odd-rationale: ok | 03:43 |
| SebNaitsabes | Joeseph: Jack sparrow just said something and now i'll try it as a result of what he said | 03:43 |
| bobertdos | bbryan1: Well, I would need to find the right tutorials. I myself have never done it. I just know from my time spent here that it's a headache. | 03:44 |
| chris_gr | bbryan1 moment to check how it is called on 32 bit | 03:44 |
| Chad | Odd-rationale: ok installing now | 03:44 |
| oc80z | strixv, so you use s2both | 03:44 |
| Odd-rationale | Chad: I have to go right now, sorry. i;ll be back in like 30min. you should be done by then... | 03:44 |
| bbryan1 | bobertdos: I see, well thanks | 03:44 |
| Chad | Odd-rationale: k | 03:44 |
| Joeseph | SebNaitsabes: alrighty, I'm looking up stuff too, but I probably won't get far, so thanks for helping me. | 03:44 |
| SebNaitsabes | Joeseph: if you go to another flash site say Youtube do the videos play? | 03:45 |
| strixv | oc80z, yeah and it works well for hibernate. Not so much with suspend, on my machine. | 03:45 |
| _punker_ | im having the same flash probs | 03:45 |
| _punker_ | but they just started | 03:45 |
| _punker_ | and im piss drunk | 03:45 |
| joustin | at this point i think i am going to burn my laptop | 03:45 |
| leafw | can't get direct rendering with gnome, but works fine with other windowmanagers. fglrx here. Any suggestions appreciated. | 03:45 |
| mmcji | is there a difference in how and application is install in doing the install from root, vs. doing it with sudo? | 03:46 |
| SebNaitsabes | Joeseph: heh guess that site does not like me since I am from UK | 03:46 |
| orionr | bbryan1: I'm having the same issue. | 03:46 |
| shamilton | firestarter looks like an entirely seperate firewall program, will it allow me to get past the iptables? | 03:46 |
| chris_gr | bbryan1 sun-java- | 03:46 |
| tony_ | I'm having some troubles remotely accessing my desktop within my network. It worked just fine last week (it even worked outside of my network with DynDNS), but now it does nothing. | 03:46 |
| Joeseph | SebNaitsabes: Youtube does not load the videos, but it's under maintanence right now, so I don't know if that has anything to do with it. wiicade.com works, and I thought that was flash, maybe I'm wrong, I'll check.... | 03:46 |
| orionr | chris_gr: will the yahoo games page for you load the java? | 03:47 |
| chris_gr | bbryan1 sun-java-jre for example | 03:47 |
| rockenrola1 | mmcji: I don't think so | 03:47 |
| orionr | I Have java installed and i'm running ubuntu 32bit 8.04 | 03:47 |
| tony_ | I know Apache is running on it, and I can access it completely from itself, but my laptop (in the same network) gets nothing. I can ping it, but no access webpages, SSHing, anything.... | 03:47 |
| Joeseph | SebNaitsabes: Wiicade.com seems to work just fine, and it is flash7 | 03:47 |
| SebNaitsabes | Flash 7 | 03:48 |
| SebNaitsabes | hummmm | 03:48 |
| leafw | 5~the Desktop effects, though, work fine, which is puzzling. But xterm has ver ybad refresh rate -- no proper direct rendering | 03:48 |
| SebNaitsabes | Flash 9 is the latest for Linux | 03:48 |
| mmcji | rockenrola1: Thanks, that is what I was thinkng, but I was not 100% sure. | 03:48 |
| genii | tony_: Thats usually when it complains on startup "can't find adress, using 127.0.0.1" or such (apache2) | 03:48 |
| bobertdos | bbryan1: I've been told that in your case, IcedTea 7 is the best option, but I haven't found all Java applets to be friendly with IcedTea. | 03:48 |
| chris_gr | bbryan1 if you cant find it dont panic.I am prety sure you can install it from official sun javas website | 03:48 |
| glitsj16 | bbryan: there's this in the forums http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=202537 if you haven't seen that already | 03:48 |
| SebNaitsabes | Joeseph: which FLash you got installed? | 03:49 |
| SebNaitsabes | Joeseph: altough it does not matter that much | 03:49 |
| tony_ | genii, What should I look for to fix that? To get around my ISP, I've set apache to use port 100, and it worked fine before. I checked, and it is successfully hooked up to my network with the right IP address.... | 03:49 |
| chris_gr | but first try the free alternatives if you like .... | 03:49 |
| Joeseph | SebNaitsabes: I'm not too familiar with firefox plugins and such, how can I tell? | 03:49 |
| SebNaitsabes | right click on the FLash | 03:49 |
| SebNaitsabes | and about flash at the bottom I think it is | 03:50 |
| genii | tony_: The usual solution if your router supports is to assign always the same IP to the mac address of the server, then in /etc/apace2/ports.conf set that IP to listen on (along with the port) | 03:50 |
| tony_ | genii, And I've got really weird behavior now, too. I cannot access any webpage from my (Ubuntu) laptop.....I can access websites from my desktop, and I can do other Internet things on my laptop (like IRC, right here), but no webpages. Is something wrong with my laptop maybe? | 03:50 |
| genii | tony_: Likely just apache config | 03:50 |
| SebNaitsabes | Joeseph: yes right click on Flash on a site and you will see then | 03:51 |
| Joeseph | SebNaitsabes: there is no "about flash", but it gives me the option of 'quit | 03:51 |
| Joeseph | 'oops | 03:51 |
| Joeseph | enter key, sorry... | 03:51 |
| Joeseph | gives me the option of 'quit gnash', so I assume I'm using gnash. | 03:51 |
| todd__ | Ubuntu 8.04 doesn't seem to be applying my appearance settings upon subsequent reboots ... I've installed and selected Darklooks, and that selection persists, but the look and feel is clearly something else after a reboot ... thoughts? | 03:51 |
| SebNaitsabes | Joeseph: well that was a guess before and I just tryed for real. I got for my Flash 9 | 03:51 |
| SebNaitsabes | settings and about flash player 9 | 03:52 |
| Atomicsunset | is there a better wifi manager than what comes stock? | 03:52 |
| orgthingy | ops | 03:52 |
| SebNaitsabes | Joeseph: gnash hummmm that's the open source one, but it dosan't quite cut it for certain Flash | 03:52 |
| mmcji | tony_: what are you using for DNS servers. I use opendns 208.67.222.222 | 03:52 |
| SebNaitsabes | altough I haaven't tryed it yet | 03:52 |
| SebNaitsabes | Joespeh: most people will use the flashplugin-nonfree | 03:52 |
| Atomicsunset | im unable to connect to a wifi via ubuntu but effortlessly thru windows | 03:52 |
| SebNaitsabes | Joeseph: ,but if Gnash is good enough for your flash needs that's fine | 03:52 |
| mmcji | if you can do irc, but not internet, the you might be looking at a dns issue as the ip of your irc server is prob setup in your irc client. I am just brainstorming here | 03:53 |
| iggykoopa | atomic some people like wicd, never used it though | 03:53 |
| genii | Atomicsunset: Let me guess. Broadcom | 03:53 |
| tony_ | mmcji, ummm.....where should I look for that? You mean what's reported in my ifconfig? | 03:53 |
| Atomicsunset | lol | 03:53 |
| Atomicsunset | yes | 03:53 |
| mmcji | cat /etc/resolv.conf | 03:53 |
| Joeseph | SebNaitsabes: alrighty, how do I uninstall gnash and set up the flashplugin-nonfree ? I'll be looking too. I guess gnash isn't working, as I can't watch the office.... | 03:53 |
| mmcji | what does that show | 03:53 |
| SebNaitsabes | Joeseph: their is the propritary free as in price, but not as in freedom since closed source Adobe Flash and the free software Gnash flash player as well | 03:53 |
| Atomicsunset | oh i dont like the sound of you knowing my problem that easily :P | 03:53 |
| Atomicsunset | unless u know the cure! :P | 03:53 |
| SebNaitsabes | Joeseph: no I think it's something else since it's a MSNBC | 03:54 |
| fde | !broadcom | 03:54 |
| ubottu | Help with Broadcom bcm43xx can be found at https://wiki.ubuntu.com/WifiDocs/Driver/Broadcom43xx | 03:54 |
| tony_ | mmc, I'm using my ISPs...."domain ks.cox.net nameserver xx.xxx.xx.xx nameserver xx.xxx.xx.xx" | 03:54 |
| genii | fde: Heh, beat me to it :) | 03:54 |
| SebNaitsabes | Joeseph: I have something else for you to try | 03:54 |
| tony_ | mmcji, I'm using my ISPs...."domain ks.cox.net nameserver xx.xxx.xx.xx nameserver xx.xxx.xx.xx" | 03:54 |
| Atomicsunset | ok so there is a fix? | 03:54 |
| Joeseph | SebNaitsabes: alright, I'm ready. | 03:54 |
| tony_ | mmcji, My laptop one is similar, except that there is an extra "nameserver" line | 03:54 |
| fde | Atomicsunset: Yes, look at that link. | 03:54 |
| leafw | 5~ | 03:54 |
| Atomicsunset | k thank you very much | 03:54 |

| anom01y | Hi I have a newb question: what library do I need to install for this error message (trying to compile something) : checking for X... configure: error: Can't find X libraries. | 03:57 |
| anom01y | I installed libx11-dev but I still get the same error message | 03:57 |
| leafw | anom01y : some -dev package | 03:57 |
| Rolaulten | Good evening, I was here a little wile ago, but life got in the way. That said it would seem that I am having issues with my wireless....as far as I understand the drivers are installed yet I am unable to get onto my wireless network | 03:58 |
| fde | anom01y: sudo apt-get install apt-file && sudo apt-file update && apt-file search <whatever_file> | 03:58 |

| fde | Blaqlight: Right Click Desktop > Change Background > Fonts tab ... make the text smaller? | 03:59 |
| mmcji | Rolaulten: do you have a wireless router setup that has security like wpa integrated in it? and are you using it? If you can ping the wireless router, what happens if you disable the security? can you then access the internet? | 03:59 |
| fde | anom01y: Did you see what I told you? | 03:59 |
| Blaqlight | fde : no only terminal fonts. | 04:00 |
| fde | Blaqlight: Yes... it's the bottom listed there... or you mean tty etc? | 04:00 |
| anom01y | fde yes but I cant find the file because I dont know what the name of the file is | 04:00 |
| anom01y | or packages | 04:00 |

Where I work we have adapters to read notebook HDs in normalPC (USB connection). Please help. What should I do? The notebook is powered off. | 04:02 |
| anom01y | fde: that installs the wrong gphoto2 library (2.4.0) I am trying to install 2.4.2 but digikam installs 2.4.0 so I have to compile everything manually to get latest version because 2.4.0 doesnt work for my camera but 2.4.2 does | 04:02 |

| SebNaitsabes | Chad: ok nice one | 04:03 |
| SebNaitsabes | Chad: ,but can you boot WIndows to? | 04:03 |
| iggykoopa | bruno the first thing you should do is make an image of the disk with dd | 04:03 |
| mmcji | so it is not successfully connecting to the wireless router..if you turn the security off can you connect? Just for testing of course. | 04:03 |
| Chad | SebNaitsabes: Only one thing i have to put the cd in then select boot from hard drive then ubuntu | 04:03 |
| iggykoopa | then you can work with the image to try and restore the data | 04:03 |
| Chad | yeah i should be able to | 04:03 |
| SebNaitsabes | Chad: you shoudn't need the CD too boot into Ubuntu or Windows | 04:03 |
| Rolaulten | mmcji: lets find out...Heh...lucky I'm the "admin" for the network | 04:03 |
| fde | anom01y: It grabs whatever is latest... why do you need libgphoto2 2.4.2 ? | 04:03 |
| _Brun0__ | iggykoopa, I have a live CD that boots some recovery tools. including one to copy partitions. But if my notebook has just one partiton, where should I wirte the copy to? | 04:04 |
| bastid_raZor | !grub > Chad | 04:04 |
| ubottu | Chad, please see my private message | 04:04 |
| mmcji | what i would do, i would turn off the security, then statically assign tcp/ip on the laptop. | 04:04 |
| bastid_raZor | Chad; sounds like you have grub issues. ubottu should have the links to fix it. | 04:04 |
| Desuism | How do you set the permissions of a drive when I mount it through fstab | 04:04 |
| anom01y | fde well the latest gphoto2 I can get from apt-get install gphoto2 is 2.4.0 | 04:04 |
| Desuism | the way I'm doing it is, not working | 04:04 |
| fde | anom01y: yes... why do you need 2.4.2? | 04:04 |
| bob3213243_ | I'm trying to take a video using cheese but the video end of it is really buggy. is there something else. | 04:04 |
| BadRobert | hi World^^ | 04:04 |
| anom01y | because my camera doesnt work on 2.4.0, only 2.4.2 | 04:05 |
| anom01y | I tested it already | 04:05 |
| mmcji | example - ifconfig wlan0 10.10.10.3 netmask 255.255.255.0 | 04:05 |
| SebNaitsabes | Chad: well that's a start, but you should get Grub sorted out properly or the Windows boot loader so you can boot into Windows and Ubuntu like that | 04:05 |
| mmcji | example - route add default gw 10.10.10.254 | 04:05 |
| Chad | Sebnaitsabes, ok so it shows i need to install my graphics card driver? should i install the one reccomended? | 04:05 |
| anom01y | fde: Im just working on getting digikam installed now, I am afraid that if I try to apg-get install digikam it will overwrite my gphoto2 2.4.2 and replace it with 2.4.0 | 04:05 |
| anom01y | fde: unless I am mistaken | 04:05 |
| SebNaitsabes | Chad: uhmmm you should get your boot loader sorted out properly first | 04:06 |
| Chad | k | 04:06 |
| fde | anom01y: It won't... 2.4.2 is a newer version... epoch is the same | 04:06 |

| Chad | sebnaitsabes, here http://pastebin.com/m6114ccb2 | 04:08 |
| fde | anom01y: incase that confused you... epoch is the value before the colon when you see version like 1:3.2.1 ... its purpose is to give priority despite version... so 2:0.1.2 is installed over 1:2.1.0 ... make sense? | 04:08 |
| anom01y | yes thank you | 04:09 |
| fde | anom01y: so next time you compile something yourself... give it a high epoch, and you never have to worry :) | 04:09 |

| unop | Dewente, before doing what tho? | 04:37 |
| King | good nite | 04:37 |
| Akiv1 | wols: I haven't set up anything specific beyond default installation | 04:37 |
| Akiv1 | wols: How could I check? | 04:38 |
| wols | Akiv1: then do. same as in debian. Xorg logs | 04:38 |
| Dewente | unop, before keep reading about administration duties | 04:38 |
| wols | Akiv1: what card do you have? | 04:38 |
| bobertdos | Akib1: First and foremost, you'll want to install the Restricted Drivers for whatever card you have. | 04:38 |
| Akiv1 | I have a x3100 | 04:38 |
| wols | Akiv1: then you need to enable DRM | 04:38 |
| Dewente | unop, Learning the Bash Shell from O'Reilly tha's is a book too ? | 04:38 |
| Akiv1 | wols: How so? | 04:38 |
| wols | bobertdos: there is no "restricted driver" for intel cards | 04:38 |
| vina | gytrk | 04:39 |
| unop | Dewente, i would say you need to do both of them simultaneously | 04:39 |
| wols | Akiv1: again: check Xorg logs | 04:39 |
| Akiv1 | wols: It's odd because it seems like I have some of the Compiz effects | 04:39 |
| linkinxp | can someone help me with this? https://lists.ubuntu.com/archives/kubuntu-users/2006-November/010526.html | 04:39 |

| nickrud | darn | 04:40 |
| wols | Akiv1: then compiz should work | 04:40 |
| linkinxp | wols, what should i do? i have the folder! and the permissions are good! | 04:40 |
| wols | rubengonc: cause xorg made it so in the newest version. autodetection | 04:40 |
| wols | linkinxp: do what I told you | 04:40 |
| linkinxp | wols, how? im new in mount stuff | 04:40 |
| Akiv1 | wols: Right, which is what I thought ... It seems like it is working, but the thing is, I am following a tutorial to embed a terminal in the desktop and it says System > Preferences should have a COMPIZ entry | 04:41 |
| unop | Dewente, not necessarily - though you automatically exercise advanced shell scriping when doing advanced administration | 04:41 |
| wols | linkinxp: ah, when booting. then this is not really an error message I'd say. but: you need to find out where the messages occurs. e.g. by looking for the other text around this message and grepping for it in /etc/init.d/ for example | 04:41 |

| unop | Dewente, apart from bash there are a few other tools you might like to learn. awk, sed - and maybe perl or ruby | 04:42 |
| nickrud | sammyF you can change the way fsck is run with tune2fs (assuming ext2/3) | 04:42 |

| Akiv1 | linkinxp: Is that in Apt sources?\ | 04:43 |

| Windsurfer619 | arcos: To edit system files, you have to use a command called "sudo" and then the command you want to execute. So from a terminal, if you would type "sudo gedit /etc/modprobe.d/blacklist" to open a text-editor with that file in it. | 04:56 |

| pabix | unop, yes, but I can do this I think | 05:00 |
| bob3213243_ | jasonwoof I can send you the file. | 05:00 |
| ice_cream | lo; it's been a while... but i finally updated my distro to 8.04 . I...can't change the kernel, can i? (i see no new entry in /usr/src) | 05:00 |
| Windsurfer619 | chriswr: unfortunately, due to an interface decision with the Pidgin devs, it's not an easy task. The background colour is hard-coded, it would seem. | 05:00 |
| glitsj16 | bob3213243_: why didn't you get the wxcam .deb at sourceforge ? | 05:01 |
| wols | ice_cream: of course you can | 05:01 |
| bob3213243_ | I can. | 05:01 |
| chriswr | Windsurfer619: so , how would i do it? | 05:01 |
| nickrud | ice_cream if you updated, you should have gotten the latest version. Install linux-generic to be sure | 05:01 |
| chriswr | Windsurfer619: is there a config file i could use>? | 05:01 |
| Rolaulten | to add to this mess, when I do an ifconfig, I now have no wlan0 wereas before the reboot I did. | 05:01 |
| pabix | unop, I really need to learn how to use perl, it is non-understandable, but really powerful. | 05:01 |
| ice_cream | i only need headers by the same name and i'm good to go? | 05:01 |
| Cybergeek|Vista | http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?p=5433308#post5433308 | 05:01 |
| nickrud | ice_cream yes | 05:01 |
| JasonWoof | bob3213243_: I don't want your file. Better open it up and see what's in there. There's a good chance it contains instructions | 05:02 |
| nickrud | ice_cream linux-headers-$(uname -r) gets the currently running kernel's headers | 05:02 |
| wols | Rolaulten: check your logs then | 05:02 |
| JasonWoof | bob3213243_: if you see an icon, double-click it, if you're in the terminal, use: tar -xzf wxwhatever.tar.gz | 05:02 |
| unop | pabix, perl, it's like awk or sed or bash sometimes - they're cryptic too - but if you understand the syntax, it's easy | 05:02 |
| Rolaulten | wols: em, how, Im new to ubuntu as of this morning | 05:02 |
| wols | Rolaulten: the nvidia drivers from ubuntu wouldn't change your other kernel modules like wlan btw | 05:03 |
| bob3213243_ | jasonwoof Error: Wrong architecture 'i386' | 05:03 |
| wols | Rolaulten: what wlan chip? what drivers? | 05:03 |
| pabix | unop, awk or sed are a bit less cryptic… what confuses me is the $_, the split, the +shift :) | 05:03 |
| Rolaulten | wols: the wlan hardware is a linksys wusb11v4....and its pluged in so thats not the issue | 05:04 |
| nickrud | perl is proof that verbosity is not a bad thing | 05:04 |
| pabix | unop, no need to explain, I will try to undersand it myself | 05:04 |
| wols | Rolaulten: if you think you know better, suit yourserlf | 05:04 |
| pabix | I have saved the command line, and will analyse it as soon as I have finished my lunch | 05:04 |
| unop | pabix, well, i could find cases of awk and sed oneliners where you couldn't tell what was going on - and they too have implicit variables, context sensitivity, etc | 05:05 |
| ice_cream | nickrud, why do i need linux-generic, if i can just grab linux-headers-`uname -r` | 05:05 |

| nickrud | bob3213243 the 64bit version got started when only amd had 64bit consumer products, the name is an artifact of that timing | 05:14 |

| nickrud | fsloke sounds good, you've got a decent internal modem. Setting up hylafax includes setting up some seriously low level stuff. Their documentation (hylafax-doc) tells you how to do it. | 05:27 |
| Seven_Six_Two | nickrud, selling what? Tech support? I can see why, but I wouldn't spam irc. People here have given me far too much to do that. | 05:27 |

| fsloke | nickrud: Is there need a Fax machine in order to fax? | 05:33 |
| fsloke | or only use the Hylafax only. it already can fax? | 05:33 |
| fsloke | Hylafax => talk to => modem, modem then Fax | 05:33 |
| snarkster | fsloke: yes hylahfax can send a fax if you have a fax modem | 05:33 |
| Overand | snarkster: did you read the README or INSTALL file? | 05:33 |
| LSD|Ninja | fsloke: if you have a fax modem and fax software then there's no need for a seperate fax machine. Assuming the Fax software works of course | 05:34 |
| snarkster | overand yes i did.. i getting a python.h error | 05:34 |

| Overand | snarkster: try installing python-dev perhaps | 05:34 |
| Overand | that's a TOTAL shot in the dark though | 05:34 |
| snarkster | hmmm i just did apt-get install python* and it said it was installed | 05:35 |
| Overand | snarkster: 95% of the time, issues with compiling software is 'dependency issues' - not having the right software and software-dev packages installed | 05:35 |
| Overand | snarkster: aptitude show python-dev and see if it's there. | 05:35 |
| LSD|Ninja | Under Windows, Fax software tyically takes the form of a printer driver meaning you can fax from any program you can print from. No idea if Linux has that level of integration though (My guess would be no). | 05:35 |
| glitsj16 | plouffe: the "-o" switch in grep does exactly that | 05:36 |

| LinuxKitten | OVERAND? | 05:37 |
| Overand | LinuxKitten: try 'virtualbox' first | 05:37 |

| LinuxKitten | k | 05:37 |
| LinuxKitten | hihi | 05:37 |

| Overand | never heard of it | 05:37 |
| LinuxKitten | heh | 05:37 |
| Overand | oh man | 05:37 |
| snarkster | virtualbox is nice, but need commercial versipon to have usb support | 05:37 |
| Overand | LinuxKitten: you might have to compile it | 05:38 |
| LinuxKitten | ugh | 05:38 |
| Overand | LinuxKitten: doesn't look like there's a package for it out there | 05:38 |
| LinuxKitten | it should come with xscreensaver | 05:39 |
| Overand | it doesn't | 05:39 |
| Overand | it looks like xsublim is not maintained | 05:39 |
| eduardo_ | ji | 05:39 |

| Overand | LinuxKitten: hence my suggestion that you will need to compile it =P | 05:40 |
| eduardo_ | does anyone already used ubuntu mint ? | 05:40 |
| Overand | LinuxKitten: it looks like it's an xscreensaver 'hack' from several years ago | 05:40 |
| prueba | ubuntu mint? | 05:40 |
| LinuxKitten | ahh | 05:40 |
| prueba | what do u mean?? | 05:40 |
| LinuxKitten | how do i get it? | 05:41 |
| Overand | LinuxKitten: this is not probably a totally straightforward task | 05:41 |
| eduardo_ | yeah ! | 05:41 |
| eduardo_ | don't u know ? | 05:41 |
| LinuxKitten | ugh | 05:41 |

| Dan6688 | Overand: so is THAT the performance I should be expecting? =P | 05:42 |
| Overand | Dan6688: heh./ | 05:43 |

| Blaqlight | makson4l: why not use ntfs if your going to do that. | 05:48 |
| unop | Blaqlight, he's sharing between OSX and ubuntu | 05:48 |

| kracker | i'm fairly certain that my error lies either within my apache, mod_rewrite config | 05:58 |
| unop | Blaqlight, update-menus only works for the opendesktop menu system - not really applicable to fluxbox unless you use a script to generate a fluxbox-style menu file afterwards | 05:58 |

| === AsemAFK is now known as Guest64251 | ||
| unop | blackrabbit, but i guess you will have to temporarily disable the system wide flash plugin, run firefox as the user, install flash and then enable the system-wide flash plugin again | 06:00 |
| unop | Odd-rationale, don't think there is a passwd | 06:01 |
| Vereux0 | I keep getting a "Problem with Auto playback" error on skype. Anyone know how to fix this? | 06:01 |
| Odd-rationale | unop: how about for ssh connection? | 06:01 |
| blackrabbit | unop, hello thanks for the help, by disabling the system wide flash plugin do you mean uninstalling it or removing the link within the sudo account? | 06:01 |
| blackrabbit | unop, if I knew the exact instructions I could disable it for the sudo user while it still remains for the other users, and install Flash 10 beta for myself | 06:02 |

| Odd-rationale | unop: how? you need the current passwd to change the passwd... | 06:03 |
| unop | blackrabbit, yes, move it back when you are done installing flash for yourself | 06:03 |
| blackrabbit | unop, I could specify Flash 10 for that and not mess with FF3 right | 06:03 |
| blackrabbit | unop, thanks | 06:04 |
| unop | Odd-rationale, err no, use root to your advantage. sudo passwd $USER | 06:04 |

| unop | blackrabbit, if you use seamonkey - you might need to use the right path instead. | 06:04 |

| jpastore | evolution is screwde | 06:15 |
| prueba | and i tried 2 download the codecs but i couldnt :( | 06:15 |
| synapse9857 | prueba: WINE is finicky, if you want to play WMV files, I would do so from linux itself. I recommend VLC as a media player. | 06:15 |
| nickrud | jpastore you can try removing ~/.evolution. I'm just now trying evolution with imap again, I've had issues in the past. I really like evolution though. | 06:15 |
| jpastore | nickrud, will that destroy my contacts? | 06:16 |

| prymal | I think the issues with evolution and IMAP are dependant on the server. | 06:16 |
| nickrud | jpastore yep. That's why I keep them in local ldap. Many call that overkill, but I like the data abstraction | 06:16 |
| jpastore | nickrud, ok I just moved .evolution to .evo for now to test... | 06:17 |
| nickrud | jpastore have you tried using thunderbird? It's imap seems rock solid | 06:17 |

| bullgard4 | nickrud: Ah! Thank you very much for explaining. | 06:33 |
| meoblast001 | old versions of ubuntu used to let me test each driver | 06:33 |
| nickrud | bullgard4 it's based on the same engine that safari uses, iirc | 06:33 |
| meoblast001 | nickrud: how do i test if a driver works? | 06:34 |
| meoblast001 | nickrud: and then revert back if it fails | 06:34 |
| nickrud | meoblast001 if you are getting video, it's working ;) | 06:34 |
| nogagplz | meoblast001: glxinfo |grep direct | 06:34 |
| nogagplz | glxgears running smoothly also gives an inkling | 06:34 |
| nickrud | meoblast001 and you can revert to a default setup (as seen by ubuntu) with sudo dpkg-reconfigure -pcritical xserver-xorg | 06:35 |
| meoblast001 | nickrud: is Nexuiz supposed to run at "i cant play this game im tired of this" speeds at its lowest settings on an Intel 915 GM? | 06:35 |
| nickrud | meoblast001 I've never had an intel chip, so I can't really say much about them | 06:35 |
| bullgard4 | nickrud: I am no Apple user. Is Safari famous in the Linux world? | 06:35 |
| meoblast001 | Safari isnt available for Linux | 06:35 |
| nickrud | bullgard4 no. konqueror uses the same base code as well | 06:36 |
| {Matteo} | other way around | 06:36 |
| meoblast001 | konqueror doesnt work with myspace | 06:36 |
| {Matteo} | safari got its engine from konqueror | 06:36 |

| phantasmik | what am I thinking of then | 06:51 |
| phantasmik | so gtk is like .NET | 06:51 |

| Raheem | boGGdy, if i were you, i would boot from the livecd again, type sudo fdisk -l to find out the drive letter for my drive, then sudo grub-install drive letter .. but, before u do that, please wait for someone to confirm that it si the correct step | 07:23 |
| boGGdy | fde, I sure do. it boots perfectly from the live cd | 07:24 |
| unop | lebutcherpc, you can .. there's a little extra work to do tho. a search in your favourite search engine ought to get you to a good howto | 07:24 |
| fde | Raheem: thing is, he'd need to set up a chroot to accomplish that. | 07:24 |

| {Matteo} | kernel source* | 08:03 |
| Vereux0 | Is there a startup type folder in Ubuntu? | 08:03 |
| fde | error404notfound: distribute your cups.conf ? | 08:03 |
| bazhang | Vereux0, system prefs sessions startup | 08:03 |
| frold | Vereux0: yep session | 08:03 |
| nicholaspaul | fde: http://paste.ubuntu.com/29221/ | 08:04 |
| {Matteo} | kernel source directory is /usr/src/linux-headers-`uname -r`/ | 08:04 |
| fde | error404notfound: uhh... cupsd.conf ... sorry | 08:04 |
| {Matteo} | correct? | 08:04 |
| mic1394 | bazhang ok lets not talk about vbox or windows.. if i have ubuntu installed in my pc without vbox or vmware... and i am using a kvm switch.. while ubuntu is loading.. i switch using a kvm switch to a different pc.. ubuntu would load in low graphics mode.. why this happens and is there a way to avoid it | 08:04 |
| bazhang | mic1394, thought this was about vbox | 08:05 |
| error404notfound | fde: distributing that will do the job? | 08:05 |
| fde | nicholaspaul: ok... echo 'blacklist snd-ens1371' | sudo tee -a /etc/modprobe.d/blacklist ... then restart | 08:05 |
| fde | error404notfound: sure | 08:05 |
| mic1394 | bazhang well as a result of that.. virtualbox additions were uninstalled for some reason that i dont know | 08:05 |
| nicholaspaul | fde K. | 08:05 |
| bazhang | mic1394, no idea about windows version of vbox, sorry. | 08:06 |

| boGGdy2 | fde: should I reinstall? | 08:07 |
| fde | Vereux0: Don't try to understand Unix based on Windows knowledge, it'll confuse you. http://www.pathname.com/fhs/ | 08:07 |
| mic1394 | bazhang if you have ubuntu installed in your pc without vbox and you using 1 montir with 2 desktops... while ubuntu is loading and it did not start yet.. you switch to the other desktop.. you would realise that ubuntu boots in low graphics mode.. do you know why? | 08:07 |
| fde | Vereux0: kinda, yes | 08:07 |
| mic1394 | monitor* | 08:07 |
| fde | boGGdy2: Probably... it'll be quicker, and this is a fresh install we're dealing with right? | 08:07 |
| bazhang | mic1394, what video card, what driver how installed; pastebin lspci at paste.ubunt.com as well as xorg.conf | 08:08 |
| mic1394 | bazhang it is kvm switch and ubuntu issue here not vbox or windows | 08:08 |
| error404notfound | fde: but cupsd.conf doensn't contain anything about that printer, neither its uri, nor anything else | 08:08 |

| Shish_ | thanks for the help, have a good day | 08:29 |
| soreau | itai-michaelson: Change the resolution, or check Sys>Prefs>Screen Resolution | 08:30 |
| Nalkem | soreau, ouuuh ... dont remember it anymore ... made it 3 month ago .. or so | 08:30 |
| fde | nicholaspaul: Yes... your system was getting confused because 2 cards wanted the same device. | 08:30 |
| nicholaspaul | fde: ah gotcha. Well, Thanks again :) | 08:30 |
| rickb|server | Does anyone know of any software simaler to bnc that you can specify an IP to listen on and connect as well? | 08:30 |
| fde | nicholaspaul: So we just told the system to ignore the onboard (I'm guessing?) | 08:30 |
| nicholaspaul | fde- yup | 08:30 |

| soreau | hmm | 08:33 |
| debasys | fde: i don't want to screw my system, i want to be safe than sorry :) | 08:33 |
| soreau | itai-michaelson: Does your physical monitor report this, or ubuntu | 08:33 |
| fde | debasys: Nothing in there will break anything | 08:33 |
| debasys | fde: ok, and do i need Hotkeys Management [hotkey-setup] ? | 08:34 |
| soreau | debasys: You might look into Sys>Admin>Sys Mon to see if it's eating any cpu/mem (or what might be) | 08:34 |
| debasys | these services which are checked run on start up i guess? | 08:34 |
| fde | debasys: depends, does your keyboard have multimedia keys? do you mind configuring them manually? | 08:34 |
| debasys | soreau: yeah i am checking with system monitor | 08:34 |
| fde | debasys: They are services, running all the time. | 08:35 |
| itai-michaelson | soreau, report what? do you mean the settings? the monitor reports what the optimal settings are whenever i change the resolution.btw- ubuntu only offers me lower resolution | 08:35 |
| debasys | fde: i have a wireless mouse | 08:35 |
| soreau | debasys: Look into Sys>Prefs>Sessions to disable default items | 08:35 |
| fde | debasys: that's probably bluetooth | 08:35 |
| soreau | itai-michaelson: Is the driver installed correctly? What is the output of 'glxinfo|grep direct'? | 08:35 |

| itai-michaelson | soreau, yes , it didnt look better , just diabling the nvidia driver makes it look very smooth | 08:40 |
| fde | debasys: eh... guessing one the the LSB specs... you ever venture outside of the official repos? | 08:40 |
| debasys | soreau: so i am interested to reduce system memory use, though firefox takes most | 08:40 |

| soreau | debasys: What cpu do you have? | 08:41 |
| debasys | soreau: intel celeron 1.73 GHz | 08:41 |
| soreau | powertool08: One's safer than the other? (I really don't know) | 08:41 |
| soreau | powertool08: I would recommend a fresh install from live cd personally | 08:42 |
| debasys | soreau: but it is somewhat more fast in XP. i heard ubuntu should be atleast fast than win | 08:42 |
| bullgard4 | powertool08: You better tell where you have found ' safe-upgrade'. | 08:42 |
| debasys | soreau: but unfortunately never experienced that | 08:42 |
| powertool08 | soreau: aptitude says upgrade is depreciated and to use safe-upgrade | 08:42 |
| soreau | debasys: Well, in general yes.. are you running compiz by chance? Which process in sys mon is using most cpu power? | 08:43 |
| powertool08 | soreau: I was just curious what is different about it that makes it better. | 08:43 |
| debasys | soreau: no i have turned visual effects off | 08:43 |
| soreau | powertool08: Not sure.. what does apt-get upgrade say? | 08:43 |
| debasys | soreau: mostly it will be firefox which takes most memory | 08:43 |
| powertool08 | bullgard4: I found it when updating the way I usually did and aptitude said to use safe-upgrade instead | 08:43 |
| debasys | soreau: it will be around 200 MB, | 08:44 |
| soreau | debasys: Try using ff2? I really don't know.. are things faster while ff isn't running? | 08:44 |
| fde | soreau: FF2 uses about twice the RAM as FF3 here... how would that help? :P | 08:44 |
| debasys | soreau: actually if i have firefox+gimp+gedit plus pidgin it slows a down | 08:44 |
| soreau | fde: As I said, I really have nfc | 08:44 |
| powertool08 | soreau: apt-get doesn't have a safe-upgrade option so I guess its just an aptitude thing | 08:45 |
| fde | debasys: GIMP is a heavy app | 08:45 |
| debasys | soreau: so my temporary solution is to close those programs which i don't use currently | 08:45 |
| debasys | fde: yeah like photoshop | 08:45 |
| bullgard4 | powertool08: "updating the way I usually did" still is no exact description. (My Synaptic never tells me that.) | 08:45 |
| debasys | but anyway ubuntu has been in my blood since last few months. | 08:45 |
| debasys | there is no moving away :)] | 08:45 |
| powertool08 | bullgard4: I update via command line | 08:46 |
| fde | soreau: I think he's on the right basic route... it's just a slow machine though, so it won't improve incredibly. | 08:46 |
| soreau | debasys: Better hw ftw :P | 08:46 |
| soreau | fde: right ;) | 08:46 |
| debasys | yeah this old lenovo machine is actually relatively slow | 08:46 |
| bullgard4 | powertool08: Sorry, I will give up with you. | 08:46 |
| soreau | bullgard4: I'm about to give up altogether, no one's answered my question at all :p | 08:47 |
| debasys | ok guys thanks for listening, will now reboot to see some difference in performance [disabled some unncessery services] | 08:47 |
| powertool08 | bullgard4: ?? Not sure what you were asking, I don't use synaptic, I used sudo aptitude update && sudo aptitude upgrade in feisty, recently upgraded to hardy with clean install, and that command results in upgrade is depreciated, use safe-upgrade instead | 08:48 |

| Flannel | lamer: It's easy to fix. And I do agree with fde, tasksel is sort of a blunt instrument | 08:57 |
| lamer | i see that on synaptic you can't select to uninstall pachages by task. this is good. but using taskel even if i have leaved ALL other things selected it uninstalled ALL | 08:57 |

| mic1394 | bazhang what do you mean | 09:01 |
| Flannel | new2nix: or will scp suffice? | 09:02 |
| solaries | fde, bullgard4: afetr having spent ages for configuration until avahi worked, I wonder whether I'm the only one that actually uses it. Just curious. | 09:02 |
| Flannel | new2nix: scp and/or sftp | 09:02 |

| new2nix | flannel: im not 100% sure. I have ubuntu on a dedicated server using command line only (no desktop) I have downloaded a number of things and now want to get them locally and the fastest way possible | 09:02 |

| amber_ | soreau, correct | 09:04 |
| bazhang | mic1394, why that version of xchat? newest is not always better, esp in this case. always best to install from repos; third party websites and repos are a LAST resort. | 09:04 |

| mrrrti | beefcake: did you double-check all the channels in 'alsamixer'? | 09:14 |

| arvind_khadri | new2nix, yeah it is.. sudo /etc/init.d/gdm start | 09:37 |
| soreau | Nostahl: Hmm.. don't know exactly. If there's no message there. I compile the drivers from madwifi.org | 09:38 |
| new2nix | mrrrti: sorry, im not sure if its starting x or not as I am quite new to *nix and have only used command line until today | 09:38 |
| Nostahl | i have never ran into someone that the proprietary drivers worked heh | 09:38 |
| mrrrti | yes, but have you rebooted the machine since you installed ubuntu-desktop? | 09:38 |
| Nostahl | why does ubuntu offer them lmao | 09:38 |
| arvind_khadri | new2nix, just copy paste the command we gave to you | 09:38 |
| new2nix | root@usenet:~# sudo /etc/init.d/gdm start | 09:39 |
| new2nix | * Starting GNOME Display Manager... [ ok ] | 09:39 |
| b33r | Hi is there a way to find out if I'm using latest intel vga drivers? | 09:39 |
| DistroJockey | new2nix, hit alt+f7 | 09:40 |
| mrrrti | new2nix, you should use your normal account. i see that you're root there. | 09:40 |
| mrrrti | !sudo | 09:40 |
| ubottu | sudo is a command to run programs with superuser privileges ("root"). Look at https://help.ubuntu.com/community/RootSudo for more information. For graphical applications see !gksu (Gnome), or !kdesu (KDE) | 09:40 |
| new2nix | mrrrti i only ever login as root | 09:40 |
| mrrrti | that's not really recommended | 09:40 |
| new2nix | DistroJockey: alt+f7 is doing nothing | 09:41 |
| powertool08 | new2nix: run dmesg | tail, any errors? | 09:41 |
| Flannel | new2nix: You'll need to tunnel X over SSH. There's a lot of tutorials on the internet for how to set it up. And yes, you shouldn't be root. (you shouldn't even have the root account enabled) | 09:41 |
| DistroJockey | new2nix, k. X runs on Virtual Terminal 7. So GDM did not start | 09:42 |
| FisherP | hi, I have a problem 'df' shows that there is not quite 20g of my 20g partition used, but it still says that it's 100% used | 09:42 |
| === Allan is now known as Guest44203 | ||
| FisherP | can someone help me please | 09:42 |
| new2nix | Flannel: thanks, like i said im very new to unix i dont know how to add another user | 09:42 |
| SwedeMike | FisherP: this is normal, some space is reserved for root and to lessen fragmentation | 09:43 |
| new2nix | but i do need root access whichever user i use | 09:43 |
| Flannel | new2nix: You should have a normal (non-root) user set up to begin with. | 09:43 |
| FisherP | ok, | 09:43 |
| mrrrti | new2nix: the installation should have asked you about a "normal" user | 09:43 |
| === yacc_ is now known as yacc | ||
| Flannel | new2nix: No, you don't need root access. sudo takes care of thta. | 09:43 |
| powertool08 | new2nix: use "adduser" to add a non-root user | 09:43 |
| mic1394 | can someone help me on how to install source files.. am reading in here http://monkeyblog.org/ubuntu/installing/ it says When you're in the correct directory you execute a configure script: .. how do i get to the correct directory? | 09:44 |
| new2nix | powertool08: cool. Thanks | 09:44 |
| timsandtoms | For some reason I seem to get MUCH higher load times for webpages in Firefox 2 in Ubuntu 7.10 versus Firefox 3 in Windows XP, both of which run on this same computer. Any idea why? | 09:44 |
| mrrrti | new2nix: grep ^adm /etc/group | 09:44 |
| mic1394 | timsandtoms upgrade to firefox 3? | 09:45 |
| Flannel | mic1394: The sentence previous has a link regarding navigating in the terminal. You'll use 'cd' | 09:45 |
| arvind_khadri | mic1394, cd to it .. | 09:45 |
| new2nix | mrrrti: adm:*:4: | 09:45 |
| Flannel | !terminal | mic1394 | 09:45 |
| ubottu | mic1394: The linux terminal or command-line interface is very powerful. Open a terminal via Applications -> Accessories -> Terminal (Gnome) or K-menu -> System -> Konsole (KDE). Guide: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/UsingTheTerminal | 09:45 |
| Flannel | new2nix: You want admin, not adm. | 09:45 |
| FisherP | how can i do a 'du' of just the top director? | 09:46 |
| Flannel | new2nix: first off, what does ls /home/ give you? any folders? | 09:46 |
| timsandtoms | mic1394: Yeh, I probably will, but I had the same thing before even when XP ran Firefox 2. | 09:46 |
| Flannel | timsandtoms: du -c | grep total | 09:46 |
| mic1394 | timsandtoms lots of memory leak in firefox keep less tabs opened and use few addons and restart firefox after 3-4 hours | 09:47 |
| new2nix | mrrrti: FTP-shared carl ftp | 09:47 |
| Flannel | new2nix: 'groups carl' are you in the admin group? | 09:47 |
| baron1984 | I am having a real bad time with this Foxconn motherboard | 09:48 |
| timsandtoms | Flannel: 384848 total | 09:48 |
| new2nix | Flannel: i just added a user "carl" and this is what hapened | 09:48 |
| Flannel | timsandtoms: There you go. | 09:48 |
| timsandtoms | Flannel: What? What does that tell me? | 09:48 |
| Flannel | new2nix: ah. ok. What groups were returned? admin by any chance? | 09:48 |
| Flannel | timsandtoms: Oh... sorry. Wrong person. | 09:48 |
| timsandtoms | Flannel: xD Ah, haha, nice. | 09:48 |
| Flannel | FisherP: du -c | grep total | 09:48 |

| mic1394 | Flannel i have xchat-2.8.6.tar.bz2 in desktop i typed cd xchat-2.8.6 it says bash: cd: xchat-2.8.6: No such file or directory | 09:49 |
| Flannel | new2nix: Ok, before we get into all of this... why are you paying for an Ubuntu server somewhere when you're not really sure what you're doing at all? | 09:50 |
| FisherP | thanks Flannel | 09:50 |
| Flannel | mic1394: Why do you want to install that? xchat is in the repos | 09:50 |
| mic1394 | Flannel lol | 09:51 |
| adac | mic1394: first unpack it with tar xvfz xchat-2.8.6.tar.bz2 | 09:51 |
| new2nix | Flannel: i have a dedicated server split into 4 vps. i also do a little web hosting and the other vps are the web hosting packages, so im paying for that really. the ubuntu install is just to experiment with | 09:51 |
| mic1394 | Flannel i only found 2.8.4 and i tried to install from getdeb it doesnt work | 09:51 |
| mic1394 | Flannel i did extract it though | 09:51 |
| Flannel | new2nix: I'd really suggest trying this all out on a home box. Since... what you're doing is ... dangerous. to put it bluntly | 09:51 |
| mic1394 | Flannel bash: cd: xchat-2.8.6: No such file or directory | 09:52 |
| mic1394 | Flannel ops sory.. | 09:52 |
| new2nix | Flannel: but surely it will only corrupt the VPS installation not the whole box? | 09:52 |
| mic1394 | Flannel xchat-2.8.6 is the unpacked folder | 09:52 |
| haptiK | SNARF!! | 09:52 |
| baron1984 | is kerneloops in Intrepid? | 09:52 |
| Flannel | baron1984: #ubuntu+1 for Intrepid questions, thanks | 09:52 |
| mrrrti | new2nix: you can experiment with ubuntu server under virtualbox | 09:53 |
| Flannel | new2nix: Uh, yeah. I suppose it would. That is of course, assuming the VPS has no security holes. But even then, you're (worst case) giving someone a rooted box that you may not know about. | 09:53 |
| mic1394 | Flannel if the folder is in desktop and i typed cd foldername yet it still says bash no such file.. what could be the reason | 09:54 |
| Flannel | new2nix: If you download a liveCD and play with it for even just a little while, all of this will be a lot easier because you'll be much more familiar with the whole thing | 09:54 |
| new2nix | Flannel: the actual box is very well protected. | 09:54 |
| Flannel | mic1394: whats your current directory? | 09:54 |
| mic1394 | Flannel not sure what do you mean | 09:55 |
| DistroJockey | mic1394, try cd ~/Desktop/xchat and hit tab then enter | 09:55 |
| === knoppix is now known as gary4gar | ||
| new2nix | Flannel: iwill download one. thanks for all of your help | 09:55 |
| mic1394 | DistroJockey ok did that | 09:55 |
| DistroJockey | mic1394, *nods* | 09:55 |
| Flannel | new2nix: If you still want to go through with it, that's fine. We'll help you set up a non-root user. Just trying to give you suggestions for a better experience. | 09:55 |
| mrrrti | new2nix: try out virtualbox while you're at it | 09:56 |
| mic1394 | DistroJockey thanks | 09:56 |
| DistroJockey | mic1394, no problem | 09:56 |
| new2nix | Flannel: no im up for that!! i just want to learn as much as i can about it, as so far (only 5 weeks in) i already think it blows windows out the water | 09:56 |
| adac | mic1394: which irc client are you currently using? | 09:57 |
| new2nix | Flannel: so do the live cds need to be installed in a seperate partition or do i use virtualbox for that | 09:57 |
| mic1394 | adac mirc | 09:58 |
| b33r | Hi is there a way to find out if I'm using latest intel vga drivers? | 09:58 |
| adac | mic1394: ah ok! | 09:58 |
| Flannel | new2nix: The liveCD runs off the CD itself. A proper install will sit on a partition, whether you want to virtualize it or not... I don't know. Or you can use wubi. Where the install lives in a file or two on your windows install, and you don't need to partition. | 09:58 |
| mic1394 | adac why do you ask | 09:58 |
| fwaokda | how can i get sound in firefox :( | 09:58 |
| Flannel | new2nix: I personally have no experience with virtualization, so I'm not the one to make that judgement | 09:59 |
| nickweb | Is it just me, or is the latest banshee still not in the universe? | 09:59 |
| nickweb | I just ran apt install banshee, and it gave me 0.13.2 | 09:59 |
| Flannel | nickweb: whatever version Hardy shipped with, hardy will stay with. | 09:59 |
| adac | mic1394: Was just wondering. Do you use mirc under linux? | 09:59 |
| nickweb | Ah... | 09:59 |
| timsandtoms | My XChat-GNOME IRC Chat button in the menu doesn't have it's icon. Is there a quickfix? It's not really annoying enough to bother spending much time on :P | 09:59 |
| mic1394 | adac nah am running windows as host and ubuntu as guest using virtualbox | 10:00 |
| Flannel | nickweb: well, except bug/security fixes | 10:00 |
| nickweb | Just googled. sorry! http://linuxbasement.com/content/install-banshee-1-hardy | 10:00 |
| DistroJockey | fwaokda, try getting and using pavucontrol | 10:00 |
| adac | mic1394: :) you should go other way round: use ubuntu as host and windows as guest :) | 10:00 |
| DistroJockey | fwaokda, you are on Hardy rught? | 10:01 |
| fwaokda | DistroJockey, yes -- what is that? | 10:01 |
| DistroJockey | fwaokda, pulse audio controller | 10:01 |
| powertool08 | Flannel: So if a program has a new release the only way to upgrade to it is to install from .deb or source from programs website or to wait for next release of ubuntu? | 10:01 |
| mic1394 | adac lol i can barely install a software in ubuntu and want me to use ubuntu as host.. my pc will get messy | 10:01 |
| adac | timsandtoms: Use xchat the original program | 10:01 |
| timsandtoms | adac: Whats the difference? | 10:01 |
| fwaokda | DistroJockey, k it's installed. is it something I have to run or is it already running? | 10:02 |
| adac | mic1394: its fine :) | 10:02 |
| DistroJockey | fwaokda, start the thing that needs sound and run pavucontrol | 10:02 |
| Relaed | is xubuntu on eeepc fast ? | 10:02 |
| fwaokda | oh ok | 10:02 |
| bazhang | !eeepc | Relaed | 10:02 |
| ubottu | Relaed: Information about installing Ubuntu on an Asus EeePC can be found at https://help.ubuntu.com/community/EeePC | 10:02 |
| Flannel | powertool08: there are also backports, whether official, or personal (see !prevu) | 10:02 |
| adac | timsandtoms: xchat-gnome is totally different from original xchat | 10:02 |
| powertool08 | !prevu > powertool08 | 10:02 |
| ubottu | powertool08, please see my private message | 10:02 |
| Flannel | powertool08: And as usual, there are always exceptions to the rules. But as a rule of thumb, yes. | 10:03 |
| timsandtoms | adac: Meh. I already have this, and I'm not a big IRC user. I mostly just come here. So this works for now. | 10:03 |
| fwaokda | DistroJockey, still no worky :( is there a chance i have an old verison of flash? | 10:04 |
| adac | timsandtoms: I suggest you to install the original. People on #xchat had long conversatitions about why xchat-gone does even exist. | 10:04 |
| timsandtoms | adac: If this works, why would I switch? | 10:04 |
| === gary4gar is now known as cool | ||
| DistroJockey | fwaokda, hmm, shouldn't if you update now and then | 10:04 |
| adac | timsandtoms: well I thougt something is not working? | 10:05 |
| timsandtoms | adac: Just the icon not showing up in the menu, which isn't a big deal :P I was just asking if there was a quick fix for that, don't really feel like uninstalling and installing xchat | 10:05 |
| mic1394 | can someone check this please http://pastebin.ubuntu.com/29249/ trying to install xchat | 10:06 |
| DistroJockey | fwaokda, what about playing with some options in pavucontrol (like show all streams and right clicking to change output device) ? | 10:06 |
| fwaokda | ya, dang it's annoying. I've notice its stalling at the beginning and still no sound | 10:06 |
| fwaokda | DistroJockey, i'll keep looking in it i didn't see those options | 10:06 |
| adac | timsandtoms: sudo apt-get remove xchat-gnome | 10:06 |
| adac | timsandtoms: sudo apt-get install xchat | 10:07 |
| Flannel | mic1394: Why are you compiling xchat again? | 10:07 |
| adac | that should be all | 10:07 |
| DistroJockey | fwaokda, should be a Hint at the bottom | 10:07 |
| * soreau grabs his coat | 10:07 | |
| bazhang | mic1394, you are compiling xchat for what reason? and on vbox at that? | 10:07 |
| ikonia | Flannel: why compile xchat full stop ? | 10:07 |
| timsandtoms | adac: ...Right. I keep forgetting how easy terminal is. Been on Windows a lot lately, and haven't ever been a heavy linux user :P | 10:07 |
| Flannel | ikonia: again being "I'm asking for the second time" | 10:07 |
| fwaokda | DistroJockey, ya doesn't seem to be workin still i'll mess with it for a little longer | 10:07 |
| timsandtoms | adac: Well, I'll brb then | 10:07 |
| ikonia | Flannel: ahhhh | 10:08 |
| bazhang | mic1394, this is not windows where you install stuff from random websites | 10:08 |
| mic1394 | Flannel am just following a guide on how to install a source file http://monkeyblog.org/ubuntu/installing/ When you're in the correct directory you execute a configure script: ./configure. | 10:08 |
| Flannel | mic1394: Yes. I know that. but *why* compile? | 10:08 |
| ikonia | mic1394: but why | 10:08 |
| mic1394 | Flannel i downloaded xchat source file from xchat site | 10:08 |
| adac | timsandtoms: hope you come back :) | 10:08 |
| DistroJockey | fwaokda, yeah, probably something else. But it's a nice tool to have anyway. Good luck | 10:08 |
| Flannel | mic1394: Yes. but why? | 10:08 |
| ikonia | mic1394: why are you not installing the version ubuntu has compiled and package for you | 10:08 |
| mic1394 | Flannel lol am not sure what i am doing actually.. am just trying following this guide | 10:09 |
| ikonia | mic1394: more so when you don't seem to understand what your actually doing | 10:09 |
| ikonia | mic1394: why ? | 10:09 |
| mic1394 | ikonia i tried to install it from here http://getdeb.net/search.php?keywords=xchat but it doesnt seem to work | 10:09 |
| ikonia | mic1394: have you read the basics on how to use ubuntu and hte package manager ? | 10:09 |
| Flannel | mic1394: the point of doing so is "to have xchat" right? | 10:09 |
| ikonia | mic1394: your not listening | 10:09 |
| bastid_raZor | (you're) | 10:09 |
| adac | mic1394: just open a linux terminal and type sudo apt-get install xchat | 10:09 |
| mic1394 | ikonia not really have not | 10:10 |
| mic1394 | Flannel yes | 10:10 |
| bazhang | !lnw | mic1394 | 10:10 |
| ubottu | mic1394: Want to know the differences between Windows and Linux? This guide, called "Linux is Not Windows" is a pretty good read -- http://linux.oneandoneis2.org/LNW.htm | 10:10 |
| ikonia | bastid_raZor: it's a busy channel, are the gammar lessons really needed | 10:10 |
| ikonia | mic1394: https://help.ubuntu.com/8.04/newtoubuntu/C/index.html | 10:10 |
| Flannel | mic1394: sudo apt-get install xchat | 10:10 |
| mic1394 | adac but what version of xchat will that install | 10:10 |
| Flannel | mic1394: and then you're done! | 10:10 |
| bastid_raZor | ikonia; that would be a negative. | 10:10 |
| adac | mic1394: the newest | 10:10 |
| adac | 2.8.4 | 10:10 |
| ikonia | mic1394: check out those URL's | 10:10 |
| fwaokda | DistroJockey, do you know how i can figure out the name of my sound device so i can google it to see of any fixes? | 10:11 |
| adac | mic1394: but read those things the others have send you to get a basic idea | 10:11 |
| powertool08 | fwaokda: lspci | 10:11 |
| === taddis_ is now known as taddis | ||
| bastid_raZor | fwaokda; lspci should list it | 10:11 |
| DistroJockey | fwaokda, one thing to check is System - Preferences - Sound | 10:11 |
| mic1394 | thanks all will try my best | 10:12 |
| DistroJockey | fwaokda, I assume you have sound everywhere else except flash in Firefox ? | 10:12 |
| kompi02_ | TYUFDK | 10:12 |
| mic1394 | adac Flannel sudo apt-get install xchat installs 2.8.4 and not 2.8.6 | 10:13 |

| mic1394 | Setting up xchat (2.8.4-0ubuntu7) ... | 10:13 |
| Flannel | mic1394: Indeed. but what do you need from .6? | 10:13 |
| ikonia | mic1394: why do you want 2.8.6 and not 2.8.4 | 10:14 |
| adac | mic1394: yes, but newer version will come soon as a package i guess. May it was not stable enough yet | 10:14 |
| mic1394 | there are a lot of options that are not available in 2.8.4 and according to #xchat themselves 2.8.6 is much better than 2.8.4 | 10:14 |
| ikonia | mic1394: name 2 options please. | 10:14 |
| mathieu__ | ?? | 10:15 |
| mic1394 | ikonia well i wanted the /dns to resolve ips and it had an issue | 10:15 |
| bazhang | mic1394, newer is not better in this case | 10:15 |
| mic1394 | they said it is fixed in 2.8.6 | 10:15 |
| DistroJockey | fwaokda, all these Test buttons work in Sound Preferences? | 10:15 |
| ikonia | mic1394: anything else? | 10:15 |
| adac | mic1394: well for me 2.8.4 works nice | 10:15 |
| mic1394 | ikonia well i dunno whats so wrong and hard about installing a new updated software | 10:16 |
| bazhang | mic1394, you break the package management system for one | 10:16 |
| fwaokda | DistroJockey, oh wow they don't :( they did... whats happening to my poor poor lappytop /cry | 10:16 |
| ikonia | mic1394: because 1.) you don't know what your doing 2.) you don't know how that software will work against the ubuntu packaged system 3.) that has potential risks of breaking your package manament dependencies 4.) the source of that guide is unknown and untrusted | 10:17 |
| mib_dracorx | hi all | 10:17 |
| adac | mic1394: yeah bazhang is totally right. Espescially beginners should use the package system | 10:17 |
| DistroJockey | fwaokda, see if the work when you change to Pulse Audio rather than Autodetect | 10:17 |
| mib_dracorx | anyone using an acer laptop? | 10:17 |
| amenado | I have somehow disabled displaying files downloaded on firefox, anyone knows where to re-enable the list again? | 10:17 |
| mic1394 | hmmm | 10:17 |
| mib_dracorx | could need some help with that | 10:17 |
| ikonia | mib_dracorx: just exaplin the problem as someone not using an acer laptop may know how to resolve it | 10:18 |
| fwaokda | DistroJockey, nope | 10:18 |
| eq__ | hello | 10:18 |
| mic1394 | well didnt know actually as i was told there are more options in the new version so i wanted to try it out.. but it seems like it would be a very hard task i guess | 10:18 |
| ikonia | mic1394: it's not a hard task - it's a wasteful task | 10:19 |
| eq__ | im having a problem everytime i try to install ubuntu i get this blue screen with the msg "xdrive error" | 10:19 |
| eq__ | does anyone know whats that about? | 10:19 |
| mic1394 | lol.. np thanks a lot though and sorry if i bothered u guys | 10:19 |
| ikonia | mic1394: your looking at a "point" release | 10:19 |
| DistroJockey | fwaokda, does the following in a terminal work? paplay /usr/share/sounds/login.wav | 10:19 |
| mic1394 | ikonia hmmm | 10:19 |
| ikonia | mic1394: not a major release so the features should be minor bug fixes | 10:19 |
| preben_ | hello. Is there any moinmoin 1.7 package for ubuntu? | 10:19 |
| fwaokda | DistroJockey, nope :( | 10:19 |
| joaopinto | preben_, not on the official repositories, check on backports | 10:20 |
| preben_ | backport? | 10:20 |
| DistroJockey | fwaokda, ok, you probably need to restart pulseaudio or alsa or both (or reboot) | 10:20 |
| mic1394 | ikonia thats weird though.. what if someone is a regular IRC users and wants to try the new options in the new version | 10:20 |

| mic1394 | ikonia what can the user do | 10:20 |
| ikonia | mic1394: there shouldn't be "new options" - it's a point release, it should be bug fixes only | 10:20 |
| joaopinto | mic1394, you could check backports also | 10:21 |
| fwaokda | DistroJockey, ok and I just checked update manager and there is something about my sound in there im gonna do right quick. | 10:21 |
| DistroJockey | fwaokda, or possibly reinstall pulseaudio or alsa or both | 10:21 |
| DistroJockey | fwa ahh, k | 10:21 |

| ikonia | mic1394: ubuntu development team put a lot of time and effort into testing stable packages against the ubuntu system and releasing the best package versions for the mass majority, that is a LOT of time effort and experience | 10:21 |

| mrrrti | mic1394: the problem you describe is real. though, you will have the least amount of trouble if you just wait until the new version is packaged for ubuntu. | 10:22 |

| preben_ | I'm familiar with Debian, but new to Ubuntu, is there any depositories for Ubuntu like unstable/experimental so I can see if moinmoin 1.7 har been packaged at all? At the moment it is only the old old old 1.5.8 versin in ubuntu | 10:22 |

| mib_dracorx | oki, Explaining my problem. It's all about wireless as usual. It uses a bmc43* chipset and as long as it doesnt work, I can't even connect to repo, but transfer files from another pc | 10:22 |
| ikonia | idefix: danke ;) | 10:22 |
| Diable-Rouge_ | !fr | 10:22 |
| mib_dracorx | and it doesnt yyet work, the wlan | 10:23 |
| idefix | jow but about my question? how can you see that? what linux does when you click on something from the menu? | 10:23 |
| Diable-Rouge_ | ubottu: i'm frensh | 10:23 |
| ubottu | Sorry, I don't know anything about i'm frensh | 10:23 |
| ikonia | idefix: use the gnome menu editor ? | 10:23 |
| idefix | Diable-Rouge /join #ubuntu-fr | 10:23 |
| Diable-Rouge_ | ok the ubuntu frensh url please | 10:23 |
| mic1394 | ikonia all apperciated.. we always hope for the better and hopefully things will be | 10:24 |
| Diable-Rouge_ | ok | 10:24 |
| ikonia | mic1394: your using "the better" | 10:24 |
| ikonia | mic1394: 2.4.8 - is not always "better" | 10:24 |
| idefix | linux still sometimes seems a bit cluttered to me | 10:24 |
| idefix | (I saw the movie Titanic ツ | 10:24 |
| adac | I tried to watch a 720p trailer of a movie with mplayer. Unfortunately it was lagging a lot...but why? With a quad core it should work fine, or not? | 10:25 |
| ikonia | adac: the codec maybe ? | 10:25 |
| SilentDis | hello :) | 10:25 |
| Schalken | adac: got drivers for your graphics chip? | 10:25 |
| ikonia | adac: was it playing from a local drive, or off the net ? | 10:25 |
| adac | ikonia: yes drivers are installed (nvidia proprietary) | 10:26 |
| cirkit | adac: what kind of connection you have? | 10:26 |
| adac | Schalken^ | 10:26 |
| adac | no it was already downloaded | 10:26 |
| DistroJockey | adac, and 1 more thing. Is Visual Effects enabled (compiz)? | 10:26 |
| adac | completetly | 10:26 |
| ikonia | adac: what codec is it using ? | 10:26 |
| preben_ | no moin in backport. Ok, thanks! I'll compile it manually :-) | 10:27 |
| adac | DistroJockey: enabled yes | 10:27 |
| Schalken | adac: when you play it from the command line does it say "your computer is too slow to play this" in big letters in the terminal? | 10:27 |
| adac | ikonia: how to check that? | 10:27 |
| moldy | hi | 10:27 |
| cirkit | adac: does this happen with every single video player? | 10:27 |
| adac | Schalken: I played it over the firefox mplayer plugin | 10:27 |
| DistroJockey | adac, I'd try with it turned off | 10:27 |
| moldy | when using ubuntu stable, can i do automatic updates per cronjob, or is this not advisable? | 10:27 |
| ikonia | adac: run "file" against the file | 10:27 |
| adac | cirkit: no only with hd stuff | 10:27 |
| ikonia | moldy: update manager will alert you when new stuff is available, daily normally | 10:27 |
| ikonia | moldy: you can then chose if you want to download them or not | 10:27 |
| idefix | ikonia how then do you see that with the gnome menu editor? | 10:27 |
| ikonia | idefix: in the properties it normally shows what it's running | 10:28 |
| moldy | ikonia: i know, but i am not sitting at all my machines daily or even weekly | 10:28 |
| ikonia | idefix: right click on it | 10:28 |
| adac | ikonia: i was plying it with mplayer plugin on firefox | 10:28 |
| ikonia | moldy: is the machine on 24x7 ? | 10:28 |
| moldy | ikonia: yes | 10:28 |
| ikonia | adac: run file against the local file | 10:28 |
| adac | but it was completely downloaded so it is not the connection | 10:28 |
| adac | ikonia: on which file? the movie? | 10:29 |
| ikonia | adac: correct | 10:29 |
| ikonia | moldy: what is the machines use | 10:29 |
| moldy | ikonia: server | 10:29 |
| ikonia | moldy: is it a server install or a desktop install, and does it "serve" important stuff ? | 10:29 |
| adac | ikonia: where is it located? /tmp ? | 10:29 |
| ikonia | adac: where did you download it | 10:29 |
| adac | ikonia: played over mplayer plugin | 10:29 |
| moldy | ikonia: it's a desktop install and serves not very important stuff | 10:29 |
| adac | so not downloaded | 10:29 |
| ikonia | adac: ok - so it's streaming it | 10:30 |
| moldy | ikonia: basically, my question is "how high is the risk for an automatic update breaking something" | 10:30 |
| ikonia | moldy: cool, so if it randomly reboots for things like Xorg updates and kernel updates, thats not a big deal | 10:30 |
| adac | ikonia: yes, but it was fully buffered | 10:30 |
| === icqnumber_ is now known as icqnumber | ||
| ikonia | moldy: pretty slim | 10:30 |
| ikonia | adac: buffered still = network dependant | 10:30 |
| ikonia | adac: especially on big stuff like HD movie | 10:30 |
| moldy | ikonia: updates reboot the machine without user interaction? | 10:30 |
| adac | ikonia: there was 100% "downloaded" | 10:30 |
| moldy | i didn't know that yet :) | 10:31 |
| ikonia | moldy: if you set it to auto update yes, your accepting kernel updates - it needs to reboot | 10:31 |
| adac | ikonia: mplayiE6POw: RIFF (little-endian) data, AVI, 1232 x 720, 23.98 fps, video: DivX 5, audio: MPEG-1 Layer 3 (stereo, 48000 Hz) | 10:31 |
| ikonia | adac: thats the stream file - not the movie | 10:31 |
| adac | ikonia: ok so I try to download it andd test it again | 10:31 |
| ikonia | adac: what is the url for the file please. | 10:31 |
| adac | ikonia: http://beta.vreel.net/watch_16039.html | 10:31 |
| moldy | ikonia: oh, that is cool. i could just schedule the update for night times, when the machine is not used. how do i enable auto updates? i would just have written a shell script that runs apt-get upgrade... | 10:31 |
| ikonia | moldy: 2 minutes, I think I have a document that does that, there are better ways than "apt-get update" | 10:32 |
| moldy | ikonia: thanks | 10:32 |
| ikonia | moldy: 2 minutes to see if I can dig it out | 10:32 |
| fwaokda | DistroJockey, something we did fixed it, it appears. I just wanted to say, as a new comer to ubuntu, thanks. You've been really REALLY helpful over and over again in here. | 10:33 |
| linduxed | ive got an ext.hdd. that naturally has vfat on it. now i need to put a whole deal of 4+ gig files on it and i cant reformat it right now to a better filesystem. is there any relatively painless way to fix this? | 10:33 |
| DistroJockey | fwaokda, glad to hear it's fixed and you're welcome. You are not sure what may have fixed it? | 10:33 |
| mrrrti | linduxed: can't windows upgrade in-place? | 10:34 |
| adac | ikonia: does it work the vis? | 10:34 |
| mrrrti | to ntfs, that is | 10:34 |
| adac | *vid | 10:34 |
| ikonia | adac: just downloading, | 10:34 |
| cool | linduxed, Use NTFS | 10:34 |
| adac | :) | 10:34 |
| fwaokda | DistroJockey, nope, although we i started to restart the computer before it went off it made a system beep whatever that means... | 10:34 |
| ikonia | linduxed: vat = 4gig limit - nothing you can do around that | 10:34 |
| adac | ikonia: but is there a download button? I can't find one | 10:34 |
| fwaokda | DistroJockey, then when it came back up everything is good to go | 10:35 |
| linduxed | mrrrti: plz elaborate, upgrade? | 10:35 |
| ikonia | adac: no, I'm waiting for it to buffer | 10:35 |
| SilentDis | linduxed: eep. you could split the files using rar/zip/etc... but that's very innefective. why not reformat to EXT2 or the like, so you won't have to worry about the journal, and just use the ext2 driver if ya need it on windows? | 10:35 |
| adac | ikonia: ok! | 10:35 |
| linduxed | cool: well i cant change the filesystem if ive got files there right? | 10:35 |
| ikonia | linduxed: correct | 10:35 |
| mrrrti | linduxed: yes, i think there is an option in windows where you can upgrade the filesystem from FAT32 to NTFS | 10:35 |
| DistroJockey | fwaokda, yeah, I think the sound system crashed on you and the reboot probably just restarted it up nice again | 10:35 |
| linduxed | ikonia: i was going for some way to say....automagically split files or something | 10:35 |
| mrrrti | linduxed: after that is done, you will naturally be able to put bigger files on it | 10:36 |
| fwaokda | awesome | 10:36 |
| linduxed | mrrrti: will look for it then | 10:36 |
| miki | siema | 10:36 |
| DistroJockey | fwaokda, are ways to restart sound without reboot, but as you had that sound thing in Updates, it was probably best to reboot :) | 10:36 |
| mrrrti | linduxed: yes, good luck! | 10:36 |
| linduxed | SilentDis: what driver is that? | 10:36 |
| miki | ? | 10:36 |
| cool | linduxed, you can | 10:36 |
| miki | ? | 10:36 |
| miki | ? | 10:36 |
| FloodBot1 | miki: Please don't flood, use http://paste.ubuntu.com to paste, don't use Enter as punctuation. | 10:36 |
| ikonia | moldy: I can't find the document yet - still looking | 10:36 |
| SilentDis | linduxed: let me hit google and look around. i know i used it for a while when i was swapping around myself... for all of about 3 weeks... lol | 10:37 |
| fwaokda | DistroJockey, ya sounded like a good course of action ;) | 10:37 |
| SilentDis | linduxed: http://www.fs-driver.org/ | 10:38 |
| DistroJockey | fwaokda, if it happens frequently that sound stops, there is a deeper issue that will need looking into | 10:38 |
| cool | linduxed, try http://support.microsoft.com/kb/307881 | 10:38 |
| DistroJockey | fwaokda, but I hope it doesn't :) | 10:39 |
| fwaokda | DistroJockey, alright well its even better than it was before. Used too I couldn't do multiple programs that required sound but now i can listen to billy joel and load up a flash trailer :) | 10:39 |
| SilentDis | linduxed: if you're going to use windows to change from fat to ntfs, f air warning: backup data before doing such a thing. there is ALWAYS a chance of total data loss, then you'd be reformatting anyway | 10:39 |
| DistroJockey | fwaokda, great! One of the benefits of PulseAudio :) | 10:39 |

| b33r | Hello I want to change my integrated intel vga GMA3100 to something better any suggestions? | 10:59 |
| hl3 | ikonia: ii nvidia-kernel-common ii nvidia-settings ii nvidia-xconfig | 10:59 |
| hl3 | koshari: yes, I used -legacy already. | 10:59 |
| Nom- | Hi all. Can anyone recommend a good software package for scheduling commands to be run across mutliple machines? I want to distribute jobs based on available memory / current load on those machines rather than just statically assign via cron | 10:59 |
| ikonia | hl3: I said please show me the output of "dpkg -l | grep -i nvidia" in a pastebin - the full output, in a pastebin please. | 10:59 |
| koshari | hl3 i think the legacy package is for tnt/banshee ect | 10:59 |
| baron1984 | b33r: Try a Geforce 8800 | 11:00 |
| baron1984 | they've come down a lot | 11:00 |
| ikonia | koshari: it can work better on some earlier geforce 2 cards too | 11:00 |
| ikonia | koshari: it's not documented, but Ive seen positive results | 11:00 |
| b33r | baron1984, can you be a bit more specific which brand and price, I'm willing to spend max $250 | 11:00 |
| Handcrafted | can anyone help with my problem | 11:00 |
| koshari | ikonia i have uses mx2 32 cards using nvidia pretty well. | 11:00 |
| baron1984 | b33r: In that case, Geforce 9 GTX, why not? | 11:01 |
| baron1984 | :P | 11:01 |
| ikonia | koshari: I agree, | 11:01 |
| moldy | ikonia: ok, thank you | 11:01 |
| baron1984 | 9800 GTX that is | 11:01 |
| b33r | how much does it cost? :/ | 11:01 |
| SilentDis | b33r: $250? wow, virtually any nvidia card with 256+ onboard will run wonderfully for you :) | 11:01 |
| baron1984 | $250 should get him one with at least 512 megs | 11:01 |

| ikonia | hl3: please stop using phrases like "wtf" and "stfu" | 11:02 |
| b33r | well which brand do you recommend or can you give me a link for specs? | 11:02 |
| SilentDis | b33r: check out http://www.pricewatch.com/ and browse the nvidia vid cards there. $250 will buy you a LOT of vid card :) | 11:02 |
| baron1984 | omgwtfbbqroflcopter even? | 11:02 |
| baron1984 | B-) | 11:02 |
| ikonia | hl3: you told me you already have nvidia-glx-legacy installed | 11:02 |
| hl3 | ikonia: I did. But then -xconfig removed it apparentlky | 11:02 |
| hl3 | *apparently | 11:02 |
| hl3 | probably that was the problem | 11:03 |
| SilentDis | b33r: basically, when it comes to linux, right now, your two options are the intel chipset (if you insist on totally open drivers) or nvidia if you demand awesome performance and don't mind closed source drivers | 11:03 |
| b33r | SilentDis, but which is better? asus? gigabyte? inno3d? sapphire? which one? :/ | 11:03 |
| koshari | hl3 different nvidia config tools are compatable with the different binary | 11:03 |
| b33r | SilentDis, I already have an intel vga GMA3100 | 11:03 |
| baron1984 | ATI drivers just suck | 11:04 |
| SilentDis | b33r: hrm... i actually have a budget evga nvidia card in my home box right now and it works wonderfully. | 11:04 |
| baron1984 | there is no delicate way to put that | 11:04 |
| piko_water | any body using the tiscali ? | 11:04 |
| SilentDis | baron1984: ati keeps promising better... but yeah... they suck for linux right now lol | 11:04 |
| baron1984 | Nvidia's drivers are awesome, because they replace about a third of your X Server | 11:04 |
| baron1984 | and make it behave | 11:04 |
| baron1984 | ATI's will never get better as long as they use DRI/DRM interface | 11:05 |
| baron1984 | if you don't mind losing half your 3d performance, ATI is great | 11:05 |

| ActionParsnip | dynamethod: easy recovery pro | 12:37 |
| DistroJockey | troythetechguy, *nods* | 12:37 |
| asa_ | hi | 12:37 |
| gordonjcp | hi, I'm having a problem installing the python-dev package - I get the error python-dev: Depends: python2.5-dev (>= 2.5.2) but it is not going to be installed | 12:38 |
| Kardoso | Can I use any USB netcards in Ubuntu like as T-Mobile 3G Netcard? | 12:38 |
| dynamethod | ActionParsnip i cant find it :S | 12:38 |
| cafree | I was logged in remotely to my box using ubuntu's remote desktop (vnc) functionality and all the sudden it stopped responding. Is there a way to reset it? | 12:38 |
| gordonjcp | attempting to install python2.5-dev gives a similar error | 12:38 |
| troythetechguy_ | Interestingly, on the "details" section of "fonts" under "appearance", I notice a difference when I change from slight to medium hinting, but not when I change from medium to full. | 12:38 |
| ActionParsnip | dynamethod: http://www.google.co.uk/search?source=ig&hl=en&rlz=1G1GGLQ_ENUK248&=&q=easy+recovery+pro&btnG=Google+Search | 12:39 |
| ActionParsnip | dynamethod: you could just restore from backup | 12:39 |
| dynamethod | got no backup :S | 12:39 |
| troythetechguy_ | I'm not sure if this is any indication of what maybe wrong. | 12:39 |
| ActionParsnip | dynamethod: why not. your data is not important? | 12:39 |
| dynamethod | its not my data, my mates | 12:39 |
| gjut | Anyone here running an old graphics card? I run a TNT2 using the legacy drivers on Hardy Heron, but cannot get the resolution any higher than 800x600... I read something about bugs, am not sure if there are workaounds | 12:39 |
| ActionParsnip | dynamethod: then its not important to him | 12:39 |
| ActionParsnip | gjut: can we see your xorg.conf | 12:40 |
| dynamethod | but they want it back, so it must be ;) | 12:40 |
| ActionParsnip | !paste | gjut | 12:40 |
| ubottu | gjut: 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) | 12:40 |
| mrrrti | gjut: i don't know if this is the recommended way, but have you tried manually editing xorg.conf? | 12:40 |
| DistroJockey | BonezAU, take a look at the following post (use at your own risk) : http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=311158 | 12:40 |
| gjut | ActionParsnip: Where do i paste it? | 12:40 |
| troythetechguy_ | Another find is when I run nvidia-settings, the resolution is shown as 86x84 dots per inch. I thought this should be 96X96, the dpi size I selected for fonts. | 12:40 |
| ActionParsnip | gjut: the link ubotu gave | 12:40 |
| gjut | ok :) | 12:40 |
| ActionParsnip | then give us the address of the page when youve clicked paste | 12:41 |
| ActionParsnip | dynamethod: get a copy of easy recovery pro and run it on the disk in another pc | 12:42 |
| Kardoso | ActionParsnip: Does Ubuntu support any USB net modems like as T-Mobile 3G netmodem? I got a software for it in Windows, will Ubuntu support it without the manager software? | 12:42 |
| troythetechguy_ | The video card is detected correctly, and the proper driver is installed. Does it make a difference that nvidia-settings shows EMA e15t4 (CRT-0) for my monitor, and my monitor is e15t4 LCD? | 12:42 |
| ActionParsnip | Kardoso: never tried man, sorry | 12:42 |
| DistroJockey | troythetechguy, so it's not a totally fresh install. You have nvidia binary drivers installed right? | 12:42 |
| Twigathy_ | troythetechguy_: "CRT-0" is just an identifier, ignore it :) | 12:42 |
| Twigathy_ | iirc... | 12:42 |
| DistroJockey | troythetechguy_, ^ | 12:43 |
| error404notfound | suppose if I am a network admin, how can I detect if anyone gobbling up the bandwidth? | 12:43 |
| Twigathy_ | iftop is a neat little tool | 12:43 |
| troythetechguy_ | DistroJockey: Well, it's a fresh install, and then I installed the nvidia drivers. | 12:43 |
| Twigathy_ | There's another good web based one but I don't remember the name of it >_< | 12:43 |
| troythetechguy_ | Twigathy_: Thanks. | 12:43 |

| muntrue | Hey everyone! i need some help installing VirtualBox. Its driving me insane. I keep getting the following message ; Could not find VirtualBox installation. Please reinstall. | 12:43 |
| ActionParsnip | gjut: good job | 12:44 |
| Kardoso | ACtionParsnip: Its ok. I'm sorry. If anony can please answer to my previous message | 12:44 |
| gjut | ActionParsnip: ;) | 12:44 |
| mrrrti | gjut: only 800x600 shows under Screen Resolution? | 12:44 |
| muntrue | DistroJockey, Hey remember me ? I finally got that ATI card working :) | 12:44 |
| gjut | mrrrti: yes, despite my xorg settings | 12:44 |
| slobad23 | kardosa - i tried to get my t-mobile 3g stick working without any success | 12:44 |
| DistroJockey | muntrue, remember the name :) Excellent! :) | 12:45 |
| slobad23 | :-( | 12:45 |
| muntrue | DistroJockey, Had to remove Hardy and go with Gutsy tho. but atleast its working | 12:45 |
| DistroJockey | muntrue, while not the best outcome, whatever works I guess :) | 12:45 |
| muntrue | DistroJockey, Strange thing is, the exact same thing i tried in hardy, somehow worked in gutsy.. | 12:46 |
| DistroJockey | muntrue, not that strange really | 12:46 |
| gjut | mrrrti: using the nv I had nothing higher than 640x480. | 12:46 |
| Kardoso | Slobad23: Oh. I read it sadly. thanks for help | 12:46 |
| troythetechguy_ | muntrue: I'm about to do the same, remove hardy and go back to gutsy due to font issue. What was your issue? | 12:46 |
| mrrrti | gjut: you've edited the Monitor section yourself? | 12:47 |
| muntrue | troythetechguy, My ATI card was acting up all weird. Refresh rate looked extremely slow and compiz was a no go | 12:47 |
| Kardoso | slobad23: :( | 12:47 |
| gjut | mrrrti: Yes... ? | 12:47 |
| DistroJockey | troythetechguy_, first I would try without installing the restricted/binary nvidia drivers | 12:47 |
| betim | where does xfontsel look for fonts? | 12:47 |
| ActionParsnip | gjut: heres my section screen: http://paste.ubuntu.com/29279/ | 12:47 |
| muntrue | Hey everyone! i need some help installing VirtualBox. Its driving me insane. I keep getting the following message ; Could not find VirtualBox installation. Please reinstall. | 12:47 |
| mrrrti | ActionParsnip: don't think his problem is with the monitor settings? | 12:48 |
| ZeroA4 | muntrue, did you install from the .deb ? | 12:48 |
| troythetechguy_ | DistroJockey: When I did the fresh install, the only resolution available was 800 x 600, which is too big. I had to install the nvidia driver to get a 1024 x 768 resolution. | 12:48 |
| slobad23 | how do i get ubuntu to show file extensions? | 12:48 |
| MaximLevitsky | Sorry for asking this, but how I can install manpages for glibc functions like ioctl (can't seem to find this anywhere, I double checked synaptic, and launchpad) | 12:48 |
| ActionParsnip | mrrrti: looks ok to me | 12:48 |
| muntrue | ZeroA4, I did that too but then Virtualbox is not showing up anywhere. Its not in the applications and terminal tells me to install virtualbox via apt-get | 12:49 |
| DistroJockey | troythetechguy_, was that using vesa or nv ? | 12:49 |
| ZeroA4 | estrange | 12:49 |
| muntrue | ZeroA4, The apt-get one works, is showing up in application but is just not starting. giving me the above message | 12:49 |
| ActionParsnip | gjut: backup your xorg.conf and add the lines i pastebinned, should give you 1024x768 | 12:49 |
| MaximLevitsky | slobad23: in which program? | 12:49 |
| gjut | ActionParsnip: I pasted your into mine. I'll restart X now, or? | 12:49 |
| slobad23 | ubuntu 8.04 running gnome - i want to have the file extensions visible all the time | 12:50 |
| mrrrti | gjut: add the fallback to 800x600 | 12:50 |
| troythetechguy_ | DistroJockey: Good question. I imaged the fresh install withou the nvidia driver installed so I can quickly get back to a clean install. Would this information be in my xorg.conf file? | 12:50 |
| DistroJockey | troythetechguy_, and nv is not the same as nvidia btw | 12:50 |
| gjut | mrrrti: How? | 12:50 |
| slobad23 | using the default nautilus 2.22.3 that comes with it | 12:50 |
| mrrrti | gjut: add it to the line of resolutions | 12:50 |
| MaximLevitsky | slobad23: What program you want them to be usable? nautilus? | 12:50 |
| mrrrti | gjut: i think the problem is with your vertical and horizontal refresh rates though | 12:51 |
| DistroJockey | troythetechguy_, probably won't be in xorg.conf as that has been made "automatic" | 12:51 |
| mrrrti | !modeline | gjut | 12:51 |
| ubottu | gjut: A Modeline is a config line in the X server configuration file that gives info about a connected display and how to drive it at a specified display resolution. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/XFree86_Modeline for more details. Here are 2 links to generate modelines which fit your monitor: http://bohne-lang.de/spec/linux/modeline/ and http://xtiming.sourceforge.net/cgi-bin/xtiming.pl | 12:51 |
| MaximLevitsky | I think that file extensions aren't hidden by default in any program | 12:51 |
| gjut | mrrrti: What does a fallbacl line look like? (it is my 2nd day with ubuntu) | 12:51 |
| mrrrti | what resolution do you want? | 12:51 |
| Kardoso | ActionParsnip: What are in the "Lost+Found" directory? Why are that directory blocked? | 12:51 |
| gjut | mrrrti: The Hor/Vert were added by me | 12:52 |
| mrrrti | gjut: and always make a backup copy of your xorg.conf before saving/replacing | 12:52 |
| slobad23 | well i have just saved an html doc from bluefish and it doesnt show it as ".html" but just the name of the file | 12:52 |
| gjut | I guess 1024 to 1280 would be the expected | 12:52 |
| muntrue | ZeroA4, Any ideas ? | 12:52 |
| mrrrti | gjut: what _resolution_ do you want? and is it a CRT or TFT screen? | 12:52 |
| mrrrti | ok | 12:52 |
| MaximLevitsky | slobad23: sorry for not noticing, nautilus here shows file extensions | 12:52 |
| ActionParsnip | Kardoso: if its in the menu, I think its stuff thats not been assigned | 12:52 |
| MaximLevitsky | slobad23: I don't see an option to turn them on/off | 12:53 |
| gjut | It is an old Samtron 75E, perhaps eigth years | 12:53 |
| troythetechguy_ | DistroJockey: So if I install the image, where would I find if it's NV or Vesa? | 12:53 |
| fsloke | how you all learn ubuntu? | 12:53 |
| Kardoso | ActionParsnip: In Nautilus | 12:53 |
| gjut | fsloke: trial and error? | 12:53 |
| mrrrti | fsloke: read and google :) | 12:53 |
| ZeroA4 | muntrue, i think i need to create some groups and add my user to those groups... but the error i got said so | 12:53 |
| DistroJockey | troythetechguy_, not to sure on that sorry | 12:53 |
| MaximLevitsky | slobad23: maybe you want to see hidden files | 12:53 |
| fsloke | oic | 12:53 |
| ActionParsnip | Karlprof: no idea man, sorry | 12:53 |
| fsloke | :) | 12:53 |
| fsloke | u all no a develper right | 12:53 |
| muntrue | ZeroA4, :S I ment with my Virtualbox error hehe | 12:53 |
| fsloke | ubuntu deve? | 12:53 |
| MaximLevitsky | Anyway anybody know which package contains glibc manpages? | 12:54 |
| slobad23 | i must have done something dodgey with my bluefish saved file - i am in home in examples folder and files show extensions - i was just confused that it wasnt showing as ".html" but was still recognised as being a web page | 12:54 |
| fsloke | not ubuntu developer? | 12:54 |
| mrrrti | fsloke: i think many of us started long before it was this easy to get started with linux... so you had to know what you were doing to get anything running | 12:54 |
| ZeroA4 | muntrue, dont know... i really just double clic on the .deb... | 12:54 |
| muntrue | Hey everyone! i need some help installing VirtualBox. Its driving me insane. I keep getting the following message ; Could not find VirtualBox installation. Please reinstall. | 12:54 |

| MaximLevitsky | slobad23: yep, unlike windows linux tries to guess file type using content of file too | 12:55 |
| Kardoso | ActionParsnip: Thanks, I'll check it :) | 12:55 |
| DistroJockey | MaximLevitsky, may be better using info instead of man | 12:55 |
| slobad23 | clever little thing :) | 12:55 |
| mrrrti | gjut: make a copy of your working configuration | 12:56 |
| ActionParsnip | MaximLevitsky: probably glibc | 12:56 |
| MaximLevitsky | DistroJockey: I tried that, I am not that stupid | 12:56 |
| DistroJockey | MaximLevitsky, didn't say you were | 12:56 |
| mrrrti | gjut: cp /etc/X11/xorg.conf ~/xorg.conf.working-date | 12:56 |
| fsloke | my end product is To setup a fax server that can be fax | 12:56 |
| MaximLevitsky | DistroJockey: of course, sorry | 12:56 |
| DistroJockey | MaximLevitsky, glibc-doc is not installed by default | 12:57 |
| fsloke | the problem is... the HylaFax forum x so active... :( | 12:57 |
| MaximLevitsky | DistroJockey: I already installed that package (with man pages) on my home computer, and I remember that it had very unintuitive name, I don't remember it now again, and can't find this in synaptic | 12:58 |
| ActionParsnip | MaximLevitsky: use cli and try tab completing the package | 12:58 |
| DistroJockey | MaximLevitsky, I saw a description of: Contains The GNU C Library Reference manual in info and html format as well as the man pages for libpthread functions and the complete GNU C Library ChangeLog. | 12:58 |
| ActionParsnip | MaximLevitsky: sudo apt-get glibc then press tab | 12:59 |
| DistroJockey | MaximLevitsky, just thought it may help | 12:59 |
| Pici | MaximLevitsky: I think you're looking for manpages-dev | 12:59 |
| Pici | !info manpages-dev | 12:59 |
| ubottu | manpages-dev (source: manpages): Manual pages about using GNU/Linux for development. In component main, is optional. Version 2.77-1 (hardy), package size 1325 kB, installed size 2972 kB | 12:59 |
| fsloke | sudo mean u can install any app | 13:00 |
| fsloke | sudo will ask for your password | 13:01 |
| DistroJockey | !sudo | fsloke | 13:01 |
| ubottu | fsloke: sudo is a command to run programs with superuser privileges ("root"). Look at https://help.ubuntu.com/community/RootSudo for more information. For graphical applications see !gksu (Gnome), or !kdesu (KDE) | 13:01 |
| MaximLevitsky | Pici: thanks a million, I tried just manpages, but skipped this one, I will now write this down | 13:01 |
| === mrrrti is now known as mgreen | ||
| fsloke | ya... super user can install the application | 13:01 |

| niruto | hello | 13:02 |
| Pici | fsloke: Do you have a question? | 13:02 |
| fsloke | no | 13:02 |
| MaximLevitsky | Pici: I guess that manpages-dev really should be called glibc-manpages | 13:03 |
| Pici | MaximLevitsky: Its an odd name for a package, I agree. | 13:03 |
| DistroJockey | MaximLevitsky, or better yet, have them as part of glibc-doc :) | 13:03 |
| MaximLevitsky | DistroJockey: I agree %100 | 13:04 |
| mouser- | I'm upgrading ubuntu to 8.04 and it has hung at "Generating locales..." specifically "en.AU.UTF-8..." Is there a way I can recover the installation? The computer is still responsive, just not the upgrade. | 13:04 |
| MaximLevitsky | mouser-: this is normal | 13:04 |
| MaximLevitsky | mouser-: it takes lots of time to update the locales | 13:04 |

| MaximLevitsky | mouser-: open the dropdown terminal to see progress there | 13:05 |
| mgreen | gjut: i think you need to specify HorizSync and VertRefresh | 13:06 |
| mouser- | MaximLevitsky: That's where I saw the progress. Does "lots of time" include 14 hours? | 13:06 |
| gjut | mgreen: no, still 800x600. And now the only thing showing in the options are 640x480, even if im at the larger | 13:06 |

| niruto | how i can see movies from vreel in my ubuntu ? | 13:07 |
| MaximLevitsky | mouser-: take a look at 'top' output, or htop and try to locate hung process, it should be a child of dpkg, or apt | 13:08 |
| gjut | It is a Samtron 75E (17') | 13:08 |
| mgreen | yeah, i googled it | 13:08 |
| MaximLevitsky | DistroJockey: I mean that what I said about long time doesn't include 14 hours, obivosly this is a bug | 13:09 |

| muntrue | DistroJockey, The .deb installs fine too. But after that there is no virtualbox to be found anywhere.. | 13:20 |
| central | sorry | 13:20 |
| DistroJockey | muntrue, you added the vbox user etc. ? | 13:20 |
| mgreen | central: try again with pastebin | 13:20 |
| central | oki start with the console | 13:21 |
| muntrue | DistroJockey, No not yet, the only user is root now. But that shouldnt stop it from running / showing up | 13:21 |
| central | but how to tell you whats wrong ? | 13:21 |
| MaximLevitsky | jay__: first be carefull with partition editing, then yes gparted is I think the best partition editor | 13:21 |
| DistroJockey | muntrue, umm | 13:21 |
| === troy_ is now known as troythetechguy_ | ||
| muntrue | DistroJockey, I dont meen that the virtual machine wont start. The entire application wont work. -> Could not find VirtualBox installation. Please reinstall. | 13:21 |
| MaximLevitsky | jay__: in linux that is | 13:21 |
| gjut | mgreen: strange. There are many new lines, he did not add either... | 13:22 |
| DistroJockey | muntrue, "only user is root" what do you mean by that? | 13:22 |
| kompi10 | lubous | 13:22 |
| jay__ | MaximLevitsky: how do i partition or format the unused 50GB's? | 13:22 |
| jay__ | MaximLevitsky: with Gparted | 13:22 |
| mgreen | gjut: http://paste.ubuntu.com/29290/ this is the original one, but with monitor settings added | 13:23 |
| muntrue | DistroJockey, crw-rw---- 1 root vboxusers 10, 63 2008-07-22 13:36 /dev/vboxdrv | 13:23 |
| MaximLevitsky | jay__: how many partitions you already have | 13:23 |
| mgreen | gjut: please make a backup of your xorg.conf | 13:23 |
| mgreen | gjut: keep all revisions and mark which of the works | 13:23 |
| [newb]MIki | is there a way to connect windwos and ubuntu 8.04 so i can browse the harddrives from eachother? | 13:23 |
| jay__ | MaximLevitsky: it says 3 , the last one says file type ext3 and only gives option to unmount | 13:24 |
| DistroJockey | muntrue, not got it installed atm but that looks a bit wrong | 13:24 |
| muntrue | [newb]MIki, Samba | 13:24 |
| [newb]MIki | sudo apt-get install samba ? | 13:24 |
| MaximLevitsky | jay__: just right click on empty space, and select 'new' | 13:24 |
| muntrue | DistroJockey, Hmm, but should that stop it from running ? and saying its not installed ? | 13:24 |
| muntrue | !samba | 13:24 |
| ubottu | Samba is the way to cooperate with Windows environments. Links with more info: https://wiki.ubuntu.com/MountWindowsSharesPermanently and http://help.ubuntu.com/ubuntu/serverguide/C/windows-networking.html - Samba can be administered via the web with SWAT. | 13:24 |
| muntrue | !samba [newb]MIki | 13:24 |
| DistroJockey | muntrue, yeah. very likely | 13:24 |
| ubottu | muntrue: Error: I am only a bot, please don't think I'm intelligent :) | 13:24 |
| muntrue | DistroJockey, odd. The thing is i had it running before. then I uninstalled it because the headers were not compiled | 13:25 |
| PrimoTurbo | [newb]MIki: If you want to browse your linux partitions from Windows check this out - http://www.fs-driver.org | 13:25 |
| muntrue | DistroJockey, now thats all fine and the app wont run | 13:25 |
| central | AttributeError: 'NoneType' object has no attribute 'new_gc' | 13:25 |
| PrimoTurbo | you can just automount your ntfs drive from ubuntu | 13:25 |
| gjut | mgreen: ok, new try. Whatever happens. Thanks for all help! | 13:25 |
| mgreen | gjut: don't forget the backup :) | 13:26 |
| [newb]MIki | thx guys :) | 13:26 |
| hl3 | hello | 13:26 |
| hl3 | ubuntu insists on beeping at me like crazy. How can I easly tell all stupid kde, gnome, konsole, vim, and other annoyances to finally shush the frick up? | 13:26 |
| DistroJockey | muntrue, I'm not familiar with it really, but I'm thinking you need to chmod that dir to be vboxusers:vboxusers (I may be wrong though) | 13:26 |
| DistroJockey | muntrue, I'd check some documentation | 13:27 |
| mgreen | hl3: there is an option under System > Preferences > Sound | 13:27 |
| central | ? | 13:27 |
| muntrue | DistroJockey, I did. nothing shows up for this error. All the solutions on the forums seem to be to install the .deb. But that doesnt work either lol | 13:27 |
| mgreen | hl3: under the tab System Beep | 13:28 |

| central | ok that is the error message when i start deluge File "/var/lib/python-support/python2.5/deluge/tab_details.py", line 82, in paint_customprogress | 13:29 |
| DistroJockey | muntrue, well, installing via the package managers is the best way. When you do it any other way it can break stuff. (As you can see) | 13:29 |
| central | gc = progress_window.new_gc() | 13:29 |

| ubottu | rick10101: Don't feel ignored and repeat your question quickly; if nobody knows your answer, nobody will answer you. You can search https://help.ubuntu.com or http://wiki.ubuntu.com while you wait. Also see !patience | 13:30 |
| muntrue | DistroJockey, Yea.. odd stuff. I think somehow the .deb and the ose version are conflicting. but there is now no trace to be found of any.. | 13:30 |
| sinster | noob here. im upgrading from gutsy to hardy and its hung at "Generating locals. . .\n en-AU.UTF-8. . ." What should I do? I am scared if I abort I will mess up my system . . ? | 13:31 |
| DistroJockey | muntrue, yeah, I'm thinking you will need to remove all traces of the installs you did (hard if you didn't use a package manager) | 13:31 |
| wers | can I install ubuntu via wubi on windows then remove windows? :D | 13:31 |
| mgreen | wers: well... no | 13:31 |

| Dynos | hi, i cant play a dvd, libdvdcss is already installed | 13:32 |

| mgreen | gjut: have you tried the nvidia way? | 13:34 |
| gjut | Sorry, nvidia-glx-legacy | 13:34 |
| gjut | mgreen: yesterday... | 13:35 |
| DistroJockey | rick10101, then you will need to force the mount (check man mount) | 13:35 |
| mgreen | oh, maybe you don't have the driver running... | 13:35 |
| prymal | maxdemon: I'm trying to access a NAS box, that has public login (no pwd rqd) and passworded logins | 13:35 |
| rick10101 | OK I will check it out cheers | 13:35 |
| mgreen | gjut: lsmod | grep nvidia | 13:35 |

| mahidhar | how 2 mount the usb port | 13:37 |

| lesergi | I have to install Ubuntu in computer without Internet, how I can add some packages into DVD? | 13:37 |
| lesergi | for example, amsn, amule... | 13:38 |

| kelvin911 | anyone know how to view stk file? | 13:38 |
| Pici | kelvin911: Whats a stik file? | 13:38 |
| rick10101 | Distrojockey, When I click details there is is a choice 2 to force the mount so im gonna give it a try | 13:38 |
| Pici | stk rather. | 13:38 |
| m1r | lesergi: aptoncd | 13:38 |
| homy | The usage is that I want to run "fetchmail" on the imap server before getting mail from that imap server. | 13:39 |
| gjut | I'm using a Swedish Ubuntu, but don't seem to get it | 13:39 |
| mgreen | gjut: you can try to disable the nvidia driver temporarily and try with the 'nv' one. please do that and check if you got more resolutions to pick from | 13:39 |
| kelvin911 | it could be a collection of jpg | 13:39 |
| homy | Is that possible with evolution | 13:39 |
| DistroJockey | rick10101, should be ok, but having a backup is recommended | 13:39 |
| homy | ? | 13:39 |
| rick10101 | DistroJockey, Where is the command line so I can force mount the hd | 13:39 |
| mgreen | gjut: you didn't find the hardware driver manager? | 13:40 |
| DistroJockey | rick10101, you said you had a choice? | 13:40 |
| Pici | kelvin911: Without knowing more about the file format, I'm just going to wildly guess that comix might be able to view it. | 13:40 |
| gjut | mgreen: There is one called "Hardware drivers". I trying it | 13:40 |
| rick10101 | DistroJockey, Yes I have to type something in the command line to force mount it, It tells me what to write in choice 2. | 13:41 |
| rick10101 | So how do I find the commandline | 13:41 |
| jay__ | what is that program called that makes ubuntu look cooler like all the alt-control-arrow keys form all the windows into a cube | 13:41 |

| jay__ | thanks | 13:41 |
| lesergi | m1r: with aptoncd I can build a CD repo right? | 13:41 |
| DistroJockey | rick10101, then do what it suggests I guess (I havn't seen this first hand as I cleanly unmount my NTFS drives) | 13:41 |
| kelvin911 | Pici: i believe this is the software http://www.download.com/eREAD/3000-2125_4-10803641.html | 13:41 |
| muntrue | DistroJockey, To come back on the VirtualBox issue. I used apt-get and a deb file. Any idea where those traces meight have gone ? | 13:42 |
| kelvin911 | is there a linux version of it? | 13:42 |
| gjut | mgreen: are all other settings ok with "nv" only? | 13:42 |
| lesergi | m1r: I'm trying also https://help.ubuntu.com/community/LiveCDCustomization | 13:42 |
| DistroJockey | muntrue, any .folders in your ~/ ? | 13:42 |
| Pici | kelvin911: I've never heard of it before. You may be able to run it in Wine, or you could try looking for other linux ebook readers, I know those exist. | 13:42 |
| central | hello i have a problem with deluge torrent when i start it he did for 1 seconde then stop by it self how to fix it please | 13:43 |
| DistroJockey | muntrue, hidden vbox related stuff in home that is :) | 13:43 |
| homy | any ideas where I can ask about my problem with evolution email? | 13:43 |
| rick10101 | I get the message only root can do that when I tried to force the mount | 13:43 |
| muntrue | DistroJockey, yea theres a .Virtualbox folder in home lol | 13:43 |
| gjut | ok, restarting xorg | 13:43 |
| DistroJockey | rick10101, yep, you will need to prefix that command with sudo | 13:43 |
| mgreen | gjut: yes, only disable 'nvidia' and reenable 'nv' | 13:43 |
| muntrue | DistroJockey, I guess ill remove that.. Also on a side track.. Is apt-get not the same as packet manager ? | 13:43 |
| Sudowman | homy: #evolution ? | 13:43 |
| kelvin911 | which ebook reader are available for linux? | 13:44 |

| rick10101 | DistroJockey, Is there any software to do this, Maybe to change the partition type of the hard drive, Would this fix it? | 13:44 |
| DistroJockey | muntrue, :) apt-get is a package manager | 13:44 |

| pabix | could that work with Ubuntu with some package? | 13:53 |
| bazhang | pabix, best to ask in #fedora | 13:53 |
| rick10101 | DistroJockey, This is very conufusing do you know which command I will have to type in to force mount the hard drive? | 13:53 |
| DistroJockey | rick10101, mkdir aplace to mount it and mount it with the force command (I guess) Check some guides maybe | 13:53 |

| DistroJockey | rick10101, as I said, I don't usually need to and I am reluctant to suggest forced mounting (even though it may be needed) | 13:54 |
| central | can you see whats wrong with deluge ? | 13:54 |
| bazhang | central, please clarify | 13:54 |
| DistroJockey | rick10101, you're welcome and good luck | 13:55 |

| Muntrue | Abed, Im not an expert but what apps/dongle are you using ? | 14:17 |
| Jack_Sparrow | justinallen Just for reference here is how you mount manually From the terminal/CLI type... sudo mkdir /media/disk-1 then sudo mount /dev/sda(x) /media/disk-1 (x) being your partition | 14:17 |
| Abed | Muntru, I can't enable my bluetooth radio | 14:17 |
| mgreen | central: well, you moved your settings. and they were the problem. i recommend you find your torrent again and start from scratch. good luck! | 14:17 |

| busfahrer | Excuse me i am trying to setup moodle on ubuntu. the problem is the system is a server so I cant go to http://localhost/moodle/admin for the setup. I modified the permissions so I can access that directory from another box, but the browser still seems to want to access "localhost" (i.e. the box the browser is running on) for some things, and the pages look really ugly, as if CSS was missing. The installation cant finish because of that. Any i | 14:19 |
| Abed | Muntru, i dunno when i type /etc/init.d/bluetooth start it works but hcitool dev the list is empty | 14:19 |

| a_ok | justinallen: you can also see whats mounted just by doing df | 14:20 |
| Abed | Muntrue, hold on plz | 14:20 |
| justinallen | genii: ok cool..thanks..yeah..everything that shows up in fdisk, shows up in mount | 14:20 |
| justinallen | a_ok: oh ok..that helps too..hehe | 14:20 |
| Abed | Muntrue, I there is no Restricted Drivers | 14:21 |
| genii | a_ok: That won't show swap partitions | 14:21 |

| snmpee_ | no version of envy works on hardy, go ask #nvidia about it, have a nice day. | 15:03 |
| Lars_G | two questions. A) is there no more a metapackage for developer tools? (basic set, gcc, make, autotools)? I can't find it. and B) Is there a meta or a select number of packages I can use to install X11 related libraries on a server without enabling a X11 graphical start? or should I just pull in Xorg and eliminate the xdm init script? | 15:03 |

| Caesi | hullo.. I sent in my laptop and the motherboard was exchanged.. now I the sound doesn't work anymore under Linux (I know it works cos at the first splashscreen there is sound) - any idea on how I can fix this? :) | 15:12 |
| geppy | s_spiff: Can you send me a private message? I'll try to help you | 15:12 |
| geppy | cr0w: Just say what it is, don't preface it | 15:12 |
| histo | Muntrue: ahh you can do it in private via /msg ubotu whatever | 15:12 |
| ljsoftnet | histo: just found this from FAQ of Steam "The Steam Client is strictly a Windows application and there are no plans to create a native Linux Steam Client at this time." | 15:12 |
| geppy | Caesi: Can you make sure that nothing is muted? | 15:12 |
| cr0w_ | eHm ..i have a notebook..today i have installed Ubuntu ^^ | 15:12 |
| Caesi | I did | 15:12 |
| Muntrue | histo, i should try that. saves the clutter | 15:12 |
| s_spiff | geppy: did you get my pm? | 15:13 |
| Caesi | I'll check again | 15:13 |
| histo | ljsoftnet: yeah thats why I responded that way at first but aparently they hired a linux developer to port stuff. | 15:13 |
| geppy | ljsoftnet: Sorry that I didn't say this earlier, but the stuff about valve is well-intentioned misunderstanding. They . . . | 15:13 |
| ASULutzy | ljsoftnet: I heard they were going to release a linux Steam. Not that it really matters because it works just fine in Wine | 15:13 |
| geppy | ljsoftnet: Yeah, they put a "linux developer" posting on their careers page, and everyone assumed that Steam was being ported. | 15:13 |
| gjut | geppy: Sorry, you are probably all correct. Yesterday night after installing the system I made an update, yes. And, there was a kernel upgrade from 2.6.24-2 to 2.6.24-3 or something! Forgot about it. | 15:13 |
| valchers | my problem is that - i convert wmv, mpeg, avi files to flv, but thei not convert audo, video converts grate but audio is silence | 15:13 |
| ljsoftnet | ah ok | 15:13 |
| histo | ljsoftnet: I doubt it will happen as well just knowing the history of steam. | 15:14 |
| geppy | gjut: I think your thanks belong to histo. :P | 15:14 |
| ASULutzy | valchers: Converting, you're doing it wrong ;) | 15:14 |
| simard | is there a way to copy panels in gnome ? I am thinking about the principal top one with Applications, Places, System.. that would be to have it on two screens for my dual head setup | 15:14 |
| gjut | geppy: I din'r know one could send to many at a time | 15:14 |
| geppy | simard: Yes, you can create a new one with the same layout, that'd be the simplest way that I know of | 15:14 |
| histo | geppy: nah to snmpee_ | 15:14 |
| Caesi | geppy, everything's on as loud as possible :) | 15:14 |
| ASULutzy | valchers: Do you have to do like -oac copy when converting? | 15:14 |
| cr0w_ | geppy i don't succeed to qualify the visual effect..i have a VIA Chrome 9 HC IGP | 15:15 |
| geppy | gjut: Oh, righto. I don't know about most clients, but with gaim/pidgin, you can just put my name anywhere in the message and i'll get a blue tab and a noise | 15:15 |
| cr0w_ | ... | 15:16 |
| the_darkside_986 | Is there a good way to manage non-root user passwords of MySQL in Ubuntu? I tried phpMyAdmin but it simply doesn't change the user's password from blank to what I set it to, even after I restarted mysqld. | 15:16 |
| robert_ | going to exit now thanks for help | 15:16 |
| geppy | caesi: Hmmm, I'm not sure what to say. Is it the same Ubuntu install, or have you reinstalled? Can you private message me the output of these two commands? `lsof /dev/dsp` and `lsof /dev/snd/*` | 15:16 |
| Caesi | same install | 15:16 |
| Caesi | k | 15:16 |
| geppy | the_darkside_986: There are command-line mysql utilities if that's alright with you | 15:16 |
| simard | geppy: surely there must be files somewhere in my home folder that contain these panel settings | 15:16 |
| the_darkside_986 | yeah i'll use anything as long as there are clear instructions and it works | 15:16 |
| geppy | simard: Yes, but the things are easier to manipulate via the GUI. | 15:16 |
| niruto | http://veronlinepeliculas.blogspot.com can you see the vreel movies ? | 15:17 |
| simard | geppy: possibly, but I dislike the idea of not having a copy paste function, thats why I'm going to spend more time finding how to do it from a shell than dragging around twice | 15:18 |
| Caesi | geppy, how do I paste multiple lines? | 15:18 |
| bieb | can someone help with the install of vmware server on 8.04? or is this better asked in the vmware channel? | 15:18 |
| snmpee_ | bieb: well, did you get an error? | 15:19 |
| cr0w | sorry..i'm disconnected.. | 15:19 |
| bieb | yeah | 15:19 |
| abchirk | someone had today a nice tip with a music / movie player.. it was something with i , but it wasn't kaffeine or xine. and short name? Any suggestions?Ü | 15:19 |
| Illuzionz | Banshee :P | 15:19 |
| cr0w | geppy i have a Via Chrome 9 hp igp..and i don't succeed to qualify a visual effect | 15:19 |
| histo | Is there a keyboard shortcut to minimize windows? | 15:19 |
| rw | How would I let totem open a video using only the terminal? | 15:20 |
| histo | rw: probably somethingl ike totem /path/to/video | 15:20 |
| geppy | simard: Aye, understood. I would actually try googling it. I don't think it's going to be in a simple ~/.config or ~/.gnome2 folder. I _think_ it's going to be in gconf at this point, but I'm going looking around trying to help people with a lower baseline of functionality right now | 15:20 |
| histo | rw: or man totem to see some options | 15:20 |
| bieb | snmpee_: when it gets to the vmware-config.pl, there is an error: "error: conflicting types for ‘uintptr_t’" after this there are a few other errors, then Execution aborted | 15:20 |
| geppy | Caesi: Use pastebin or paste.ubuntu.com | 15:20 |
| geppy | bieb: I can, I just did it last night | 15:20 |
| rw | doesn't work | 15:21 |
| geppy | bieb: I'm assuming that you can't build the kernel modules? I have a fix for that | 15:21 |
| bieb | ok geppy | 15:21 |
| simard | geppy: ok thank you :) | 15:21 |
| rw | I'm reading man pages now, thanks | 15:21 |
| livingtarget | rw: try "totem --enqueue your_file_name" | 15:21 |
| rw | will try | 15:21 |
| livingtarget | probably some other cmd that works too, but that works for me | 15:21 |
| Illuzionz | ehm, i somehow managed to zoom in or something, but how the *** do i get back to normal screen:P? | 15:21 |
| livingtarget | --play works too | 15:22 |
| bazhang | Illuzionz, scroll key on mouse | 15:22 |
| linduxed_ | is there any way to get to know what application is ocupying ALSA so i cant get sound? | 15:22 |
| Illuzionz | No man | 15:22 |
| Muntrue | Illarane, hold the sindows (super) key and scroll down | 15:22 |
| Illuzionz | Not working:p | 15:22 |
| snmpee_ | bieb: read http://www.howtoforge.org/the-perfect-desktop-kubuntu-8.04-lts-p5 search the page for "error: conflicting" | 15:22 |
| snmpee_ | bieb there's a solution on that page | 15:23 |
| Muntrue | Illuzionz, Hold the windows (super) key and scroll down | 15:23 |
| bieb | cool | 15:23 |
| genii | Illuzionz: Maybe try ctrl key with the scroll | 15:23 |
| rw | livingtarget: doesn't work. It says 'cannot open display". | 15:23 |
| histo | Found it alt+F9 | 15:23 |
| bazhang | Illuzionz, aye with ctrl key | 15:23 |
| Illuzionz | i was figuring out the show desktop shortcut key, but now i zoomed in onto my xchat screen | 15:23 |
| rw | Could this be because I'm ssh'ed into the server? | 15:23 |
| msshams | please tell me that cacti and zabbix are applications with same usage? | 15:23 |
| livingtarget | rw: not running X / GUI atm? | 15:23 |
| livingtarget | :D | 15:23 |
| Illuzionz | Nope | 15:23 |
| untermensch | livingtarget: how ? | 15:23 |
| Muntrue | Illuzionz, Hold the windows (super) key and scroll down | 15:23 |
| Illuzionz | not working | 15:23 |
| rw | livingtarget: I am | 15:24 |
| rw | running x | 15:24 |
| kelvin911 | how to list a sequence using linux command? | 15:24 |
| untermensch | can you not run x but still run GUI programs ? | 15:24 |
| Illuzionz | i hit something like windows key + u/y | 15:24 |
| snmpee_ | kelvin911: please be more specific with your question. | 15:24 |
| Jack_Sparrow | snmpee_ May I have a word in PM when you have a second | 15:24 |
| untermensch | kelvin911: do you mean with one program ? | 15:24 |
| livingtarget | untermensch: erm not really but I dunno if ppl are newbies and know what X is :P | 15:25 |
| kelvin911 | for N in {1..99}; do echo "&N" >> file; done | 15:25 |
| kelvin911 | but i want 01 02 03 04 .... 99 instead of 1 2 3 .... 99 | 15:25 |
| untermensch | livingtarget: i was wondering how someone in here killed x and was still on pidgin/xchat/w/e | 15:25 |
| untermensch | kelvin911: what are you speaking of? | 15:25 |
| thebishop | is there a deb that contains a lot of additional, maybe "quirky" fonts that I can use in Gimp? | 15:26 |
| livingtarget | heh surely in ctrl+alt+f1 you could've killed x and still run a chat window somewhere | 15:26 |
| mrtimdog | kelvin911: use printf | 15:26 |
| bringatowel | is there any program which can show the make & model of my RAM? | 15:26 |
| the_darkside_986 | untermensch, I suppose it prevents the client from giving a clean quit message so they just wait for timeout. | 15:26 |
| kelvin911 | for N in {1..99}; do echo "&N" >> file; done <----- this gave me 1 2 3 4 .... 99 | 15:26 |
| kelvin911 | i want 01 02 03 04 .... 99 | 15:26 |
| untermensch | livingtarget: where would it run? x is dead!!! ah!! | 15:26 |
| untermensch | the_darkside_986: would it just time out? | 15:26 |
| livingtarget | untermensch: point taken, I just forget x != gdm | 15:27 |
| rw | Ok, I'm reprashing my question. In my terminal session, I am connected to my other ubuntu box using ssh to do so. I was wondering how I can open a video file from the other computer using totem on this computer, using nothing but the terminal. | 15:27 |
| valchers | em.. wat is path to ffmpeg directory? | 15:27 |
| Muntrue | untermensch, hitting those keys would swtich from GUI to a no GUI shell. you can get back with alt+shift F4 or something like that to the GUI shell | 15:27 |
| kelvin911 | i mean for N in {1..99}; do echo "$N" >> file; done | 15:27 |
| kelvin911 | hello? | 15:27 |
| Sylphid|work | !ot kelvin911 | 15:27 |
| ubottu | Sorry, I don't know anything about ot kelvin911 | 15:27 |
| livingtarget | rw: I don't know exactly how you would go about there's a --display command that might help you out just try totem --help and explore the --display command | 15:27 |
| Sylphid|work | !offtopic kelvin911 | 15:27 |
| ubottu | Sylphid|work: Error: I am only a bot, please don't think I'm intelligent :) | 15:27 |
| ASULutzy | rw: The best way to do that would be to mount the drive using a share | 15:28 |
| kelvin911 | all noob here? | 15:28 |
| rw | asulutzy: I was thinking I was going to have to do that. | 15:28 |
| Sylphid|work | !offtopic | kelvin911 | 15:29 |
| ubottu | kelvin911: #ubuntu is the Ubuntu support channel, #ubuntu+1 supports the development version of Ubuntu and #ubuntu-offtopic is for random chatter. Welcome! | 15:29 |
| valchers | where is path to ffmpeg dir, if i instal apt-get install ffmpeg in /etc/ffmpeg no | 15:29 |
| rw | Now I'm new to ssh using only the terminal. How wold I copy a file from the server to my local machine? | 15:29 |
| rw | OR isn't that possible either? | 15:29 |
| fde | valchers: dpkg -L ffmpeg | 15:29 |
| untermensch | Muntrue: lol really ? i always rebooted | 15:29 |
| ASULutzy | rw: Easiest way is to just click Places -> connect to server, and select ssh and fill in the info there | 15:29 |
| mrtimdog | rw: see man scp | 15:30 |
| ASULutzy | rw: Also there's scp | 15:30 |
| rw | asulutzy; I'm on fluxbox and nautilus can't handle ssh. But I'll take a look at scp | 15:30 |
| rw | thanks | 15:30 |
| mrtimdog | rw: ... or rsync | 15:30 |
| Muntrue | untermensch, hehe it does not kill X , just switch shells | 15:30 |
| flyrev | Hi. I have messed up my system by installing old packages -- now I am attempting to fix it by using the Ubuntu 7.10 Live DVD (it is a 7.10 system), chrooting to the system and apt-get-ing packages. However, I get all kinds of strange error messages about hal, like this one (during apt-get -f install) dpkg: warning - old pre-removal script returned error exit status 1 -- and eventually the script dies. | 15:30 |
| AbuAnsar | hello | 15:31 |
| flyrev | I can't seem to find anything useful on Google; the threads related are either unhelpful or unsolved. | 15:31 |
| untermensch | Muntrue: is there anyway to kill x ? | 15:31 |
| amenado | rw you can try mounting a remote filesystem.. sshfs remote.com:/home/dir/vidio /media/local/home-pc | 15:31 |
| ljsoftnet | AbuAsnar: hi | 15:31 |
| AbuAnsar | i m using ubuntu 8.04 and i installed Google Earth | 15:31 |
| AbuAnsar | but i cant view in 3D | 15:31 |
| flyrev | I would very much like to resolve this *without* a reinstall | 15:31 |
| AbuAnsar | do you guys know how to fix the problem? | 15:31 |
| untermensch | AbuAnsar: is your graphics card active ? | 15:31 |
| Muntrue | untermensch, yea there is, i would have to look it up tho if you really want to know | 15:31 |
| AbuAnsar | untermensch how to activate it? | 15:31 |
| untermensch | Muntrue: no need for all the trouble. i was just curiouse. thanks though =] | 15:32 |
| ASULutzy | rw: Yea, I share folders on the remote machine and then just sudo smbmount //192.168.0.102/share /media/videos -o username=$USER something like that | 15:32 |
| untermensch | AbuAnsar: go to system/admin/restricted drives manager | 15:32 |
| AbuAnsar | system --> administration --> hardware drivers doesnt show anything | 15:32 |
| Michael_Knight | Hello. Is it any software like SELinux or Apparmor in Ubuntu out of the box? | 15:32 |
| untermensch | one step ahead of the game.. | 15:32 |
| bazhang | !info apparmor | 15:32 |
| ubottu | apparmor (source: apparmor): User-space parser utility for AppArmor. In component main, is standard. Version 2.1+1075-0ubuntu9.1 (hardy), package size 306 kB, installed size 2060 kB | 15:32 |
| === beaver is now known as Beaver_ | ||
| AbuAnsar | untermensch i did but it doesnt show anything , its empty | 15:32 |
| bazhang | Michael_Knight, see above | 15:32 |
| Muntrue | untermensch, why would you want to kill X tho | 15:32 |
| ezguy | hi, i keep getting this error: ata1.00: exception Emask 0x0 SAct 0x0 SErr 0x0 actionn | 15:33 |
| untermensch | anybody here remember the bash to find graphics card ? | 15:33 |
| livingtarget | ok I have a question about samba in nautilus in ubuntu 8.04 vs 7.10. In the old nautilus it would never 'mount' a samba network share it would only browse it. Now with the new nautilus it starts asking passwords (it's an empty password = windows machines) and then mounts it. Is there any way to get rid of the password box or revert to the old behaviour? | 15:33 |
| ezguy | it corrupted my data and i have replace the drive 3 times but keep running into this problem, any ideas what could be the problem? | 15:33 |
| cr0w | I have a Via 'Chrome 9' videocard and am trying to enable 'desktop effects'. Will this be possible? | 15:33 |
| untermensch | Muntrue: cause sometimes i feel REALLY smart when i can use the shell mode (ctrl + alt + f1) | 15:33 |
| bazhang | Michael_Knight, selinux is optional; needs to be installed | 15:33 |
| cr0w | I have a Via 'Chrome 9' videocard and am trying to enable 'desktop effects'. Will this be possible? | 15:34 |
| Michael_Knight | bazhang: Ubuntu 9.1 ? and what is the current stable version? I know that it is possible to install SELinux or AppArmor. I've just wanted to know default features. | 15:34 |
| Muntrue | untermensch, lol but you can still use that one and go back to X with ctrl + akt + f4 | 15:34 |
| livingtarget | muntrue is right | 15:34 |
| untermensch | Muntrue: lol, i always did sudo shutdown now, then went to "continue normal reboot" | 15:35 |
| livingtarget | try going in ctrl+alt+f1 and do 'sudo /etc/init.d/gdm stop' :D | 15:35 |
| bazhang | Michael_Knight, apparmor is standard in current 8.04; selinux is installable from repos | 15:35 |
| livingtarget | remember to start it again | 15:35 |
| untermensch | livingtarget: lol nah i'm good | 15:35 |
| snmpee_ | untermensch: lspci | 15:35 |
| BlearyBram | Michael_Knight: current stable version is of course 8.04 (Hardy) | 15:35 |
| cr0w | I have a Via 'Chrome 9' videocard and am trying to enable 'desktop effects'. Will this be possible? | 15:35 |
| untermensch | that's it! | 15:35 |
| AbuAnsar | untermensch do you know why i cnt see any restricted drivers? its empty | 15:35 |
| untermensch | i thought so.. | 15:35 |
| Michael_Knight | bazhang: thanks | 15:35 |
| untermensch | AbuAnsar: please post the output of lspci | 15:35 |
| bazhang | np | 15:35 |
| untermensch | snmpee_: isn't that for all your drivers > | 15:35 |
| AbuAnsar | ok hold on a sec | 15:35 |
| Muntrue | untermensch, Now there is no more need for that ;) | 15:36 |
| snmpee_ | untermensch that's for all your bus devices | 15:36 |
| rw | Thanks for the help. SCP and rsync are working fine. | 15:36 |
| untermensch | snmpee_: that's what i thought. isn't there a graphics specific one? | 15:36 |
| bringatowel | is there any program which can show the make & model of my RAM? | 15:37 |

| AbuAnsar | 00:02.0 VGA compatible controller: Intel Corporation Mobile GM965/GL960 Integrated Graphics Controller (rev 03) | 15:37 |
| untermensch | Muntrue: lol well yea. except for one of the options instead of "continue with normal reboot" is "fix x" which has come in handy a lot. | 15:37 |
| AbuAnsar | 00:02.1 Display controller: Intel Corporation Mobile GM965/GL960 Integrated Graphics Controller (rev 03) | 15:37 |

| BonezAU_ | can someone please tell me how to install a new kernel from the Ubuntu Kernel PPA website. I have added the info to my sources.list but can't see any new packages available | 15:37 |
| AbuAnsar | hi | 15:37 |
| cr0w | hi | 15:37 |
| Muntrue | untermensch, you can also restart X by hitting Ctrl + alt + backspace (dont test that now it will reboot X ) | 15:37 |
| cr0w | I have a Via 'Chrome 9' videocard and am trying to enable 'desktop effects'. Will this be possible? | 15:37 |
| AbuAnsar | untermensch i m usin a macbook and desktop effects work fine | 15:38 |
| shaun-marlin_ | Hi there, I am trying to setup a simple webserver on 7.10 desktop, but I am unable to get in to configure certain files in apache2 | 15:38 |
| untermensch | Muntrue: lol i had no idea. i tried that once cause i saw it on the forums.. but i didn'tk now what it did | 15:38 |
| shaun-marlin_ | I am using a GUI | 15:38 |
| bieb | snmpee_: I now get this error: "gcc: error trying to exec 'cc1plus': execvp: No such file or directory" .. I found this "http://www.go2linux.org/vmware-server-on-f7-the-cc1plus-file-missing" and ran the reply " I have simalry problem on kubuntu and i fond the packet apt-get install g++-4.1 " still with no luck | 15:38 |
| untermensch | AbuAnsar: ok well than that's not the problem... | 15:38 |
| AbuAnsar | hmm | 15:38 |
| snmpee_ | shamus: #apache wants to help you | 15:38 |
| matcol | i'm interested in pre-installing ubuntu on systems as a retailer - could someone point me at the relevant legalese or just tell me if that's ok with canonical? | 15:38 |
| untermensch | AbuAnsar: what's the prob again ? | 15:38 |
| Muntrue | untermensch, It just restarts X so you can do that instead of a hard reboot | 15:39 |
| untermensch | matcol: i'm pretty sure it is. | 15:39 |
| AbuAnsar | untermensch i can't view Google EArth in 3D | 15:39 |
| BonezAU_ | can someone please tell me how to install a new kernel from the Ubuntu Kernel PPA website. I have added the info to my sources.list but can't see any new packages available | 15:39 |
| AbuAnsar | and restricted drivers are not listed when i go to system / admin / hardware drivers | 15:39 |
| untermensch | Muntrue: how could you even hit ctr + alt + backspace if you were in the situation that you would need to hard reboot? | 15:39 |
| untermensch | hmm | 15:39 |
| untermensch | AbuAnsar: how old is this graphics card ? | 15:39 |
| AbuAnsar | like few months old :) | 15:39 |
| matcol | untermensch, pretty sure is usually pretty unsure :) | 15:40 |
| untermensch | AbuAnsar: wow, i'm lost =\ | 15:40 |
| AbuAnsar | its a macbook | 15:40 |
| AbuAnsar | maybe that could be the reason? | 15:40 |
| untermensch | matcol: lol it's free ware. i doubt they would. but you could ask. send them an email or something. idk | 15:40 |
| Muntrue | untermensch, I have never really had a situation where linux crashed so hard. but Ctrl + alt + backspace works just as well as switching shells. | 15:40 |
| untermensch | AbuAnsar: i'm really not positive. i try to stay away from macs tbh | 15:40 |
| genii | AbuAnsar: Almost all the restricted drivers are written for i386 type kernel, unfortunately | 15:41 |
| AbuAnsar | hmm | 15:41 |
| untermensch | Muntrue: i have.. =\ i think it's more of the dying hard drive i have though. =[ | 15:41 |
| AbuAnsar | untermensch are they not that good to use them? | 15:41 |
| lsa | Hello all... I have instaled Java with synaptic in ubuntu, then I installed iriverter and cant run it.... this is what I get in terminal: http://paste.ubuntu.com/29324/ | 15:41 |

| Gnea | geppy: foremost isn't the same as photorec. | 16:26 |
| BlearyBram | geppy: because gentoo swapped drive links. | 16:26 |
| bastid_raZor | Joker_-_; nice | 16:26 |
| geppy | Joker_-_: heh, yeah, that's why I used the phrase 'errant program' when I first came in here. | 16:26 |
| abhi_ | hi, i have decided to buy a mac book. can i install ubuntu over mac and use both by dual boot like xp. | 16:26 |
| Joker_-_ | geppy: lol | 16:26 |
| geppy | BlearyBram: Oh, the gentoo bit wasn't me, that was joker in the long past | 16:26 |
| craigbass1976 | I want to have one email account that I can check from wherever (this I can do already) but I'd also like to save sent messages on the server as well and have my clients update so that I have the same sent emails on every client. WHere do I start? | 16:27 |
| hiptobecubic | craigbass1976, gmail? | 16:27 |
| craigbass1976 | Currently running postfix and dovecot | 16:27 |
| geppy | Gnea: quote from the internets: "Foremost (foremost.sourceforge.net) might help too; it ignores the file system structure and just looks for beginning and endings of files. So it needs distinctive files (e.g. jpeg) and contiguous files. " | 16:27 |
| Joker_-_ | abhi_: you can, but you can also go back to apple store and ask for a refun if you've got it for least than 30 days | 16:27 |
| geppy | Gnea: Maybe not the same, but to me it looks like the same idea with the same advantages and limitations | 16:27 |
| craigbass1976 | hiptobecubic: no, mail server is my own | 16:27 |
| Gnea | geppy: so you haven't actually used it yet? | 16:27 |
| geppy | craigbass1976: gmail and pop3 | 16:27 |
| abhi_ | Joker_-_, : what | 16:27 |
| craigbass1976 | geppy: I don't trust google | 16:28 |
| geppy | Gnea: Haven't used foremost? No. I've used photorec, but either way that's not what I'm interested in: I'm interested in using the filesystem structure data that I've already verified is on the disk. | 16:28 |
| geppy | craigbass1976: err, hotmail? yahoo! ? | 16:28 |
| Joker_-_ | abhi_: lets suppose you realy wanted an mac, you'll have to use the stupid program they give you with it to boot... bootcamp or something liek that | 16:28 |
| Gnea | geppy: well, when you get some results (or no results), come talk to me. | 16:28 |
| BlearyBram | abhi_: you can certainly get GRUB working on Mac as well, not sure you could use bootcamp for the bootloader though. | 16:28 |
| geppy | craigbass1976: you could set up your own pop3 server | 16:28 |
| geppy | Gnea: The thing is that if foremost requires contiguous files, it's not going to find anything that photorec hasn't already found. I've already recovered what that class of utility can | 16:29 |
| craigbass1976 | geppy: I already have a pop3 server. I'm running postfix and dovecot. I can currently check from anywhere, but want a way to synchronize my clients | 16:29 |
| Joker_-_ | abhi_: I bet theres a lot of howtos on the net about your mac, just google something like "YourMacbookType ubuntu howto" | 16:29 |
| Gnea | geppy: the point is that you haven't actually used it yet, and so you're just wasting time now. | 16:29 |
| abhi_ | BlearyBram, : does bootcamp detect linux. can't i use grub... | 16:29 |
| Joker_-_ | abhi_: I'm pretty sure you'll have a walk trough | 16:29 |
| craigbass1976 | geppy: Thunderbird on my laptop, for instance, doesn't have mail in the sent folder that thunderbird on my desktop does, or that my work box does | 16:30 |
| abhi_ | Joker_-_, :ok | 16:30 |
| Joker_-_ | abhi_: nope, you can't use grub. Well you can, but inside bootcamp. | 16:30 |
| sipior | craigbass1976: why not change over to imap? | 16:30 |
| geppy | Gnea: I don't see how that's a logical conclusion. According to the foremost project page, " Foremost is a console program to recover files based on their headers, footers, and internal data structures". That isn't the class of utility that I'm looking for. | 16:30 |
| Joker_-_ | abhi_: Macs doesnt work like intel compat. when it comes to booting | 16:30 |
| abhi_ | Joker_-_, : bootcamp is macs bootloader? | 16:30 |
| geppy | craigbass1976: Don't ask me, I don't do my own mailservers and I don't use thunderbird. | 16:30 |
| BlearyBram | Joker_-_: Oh, ugh... | 16:30 |
| Joker_-_ | abhi_: yeah. Not 100% sure of the name tho | 16:31 |
| * craigbass1976 shakes his head | 16:31 | |
| sipior | craigbass1976: is imap not an option? | 16:31 |
| Joker_-_ | abhi_: but it's something like that. A friend of mine had to pay to have it... Mac is devil. Remember that | 16:31 |
| hiptobecubic | craigbass1976, honestly it sounds like what you want is a webapp. | 16:31 |
| craigbass1976 | sipior: probably. I'm googling--I know nothing about it | 16:31 |
| BlearyBram | Joker_-_: when it comes to OSS, rather devilish, but doesn't it look "nice"? :P | 16:31 |
| hiptobecubic | just tell yahoo or gmail or whatever you want to use your server | 16:32 |
| Joker_-_ | BlearyBram: yup, looks just like gnome :P | 16:32 |
| Joker_-_ | BlearyBram: wich i dislike tho ;) | 16:32 |
| Gnea | geppy: because you're basing an assumption, thus extrapolating the concept of 'assuming' to a whole new level, on what a website tells you, rather than making another attempt at obtaining the data that you require, over an unsaid fear or something. You asked for help, I offered, now you're telling me that my help is no good. Please, go elsewhere if you're looking for trouble. | 16:32 |
| BlearyBram | Joker_-_: a K fan? :P | 16:32 |
| abhi_ | Joker_-_, :so it is not combined with mac book. i check at apple.com that mac book uses core2duo. so why does't it follow intel style booting. | 16:32 |
| Joker_-_ | BlearyBram: Hell no, a shell fan. K is the wors imo. I'd pick XFCE at elast. | 16:32 |
| BlearyBram | Joker_-_: Hence :P | 16:33 |
| Joker_-_ | abhi_: it's a hard drive thing | 16:33 |
| BlearyBram | Hah, shell, got to learn the art of it. :S | 16:33 |
| abhi_ | Joker_-_, : oh | 16:33 |
| hiptobecubic | all hail the shell! | 16:33 |
| Joker_-_ | abhi_: I dont know everything and why, but I've eard it's somehow "the future way" of booting. It doesnt use bios or anything | 16:33 |
| abhi_ | Joker_-_, : oh | 16:34 |
| Joker_-_ | abhi_: try to read a bit about that, You'll get better informed than from an appel-hating random guy on irc ;) | 16:34 |
| vg | hi to all | 16:34 |
| abhi_ | Joker_-_, : :) | 16:34 |
| Alan_M | wow this room is kinda quiet today | 16:35 |
| nownot | im setting up a vpn server, i get bad source address from client. i believe this means i have to setup a route to go from the tun interface to the interface going to my network. is this right? | 16:35 |
| Joker_-_ | abhi_: anyway, just google your mac, ubuntu and howto | 16:35 |
| Joker_-_ | abhi_: I bet you'll get everything you need | 16:35 |
| abhi_ | Joker_-_, : ok. | 16:35 |
| abhi_ | which laptop is best compatible with ubuntu? | 16:35 |
| BlearyBram | abhi_: I really want to know that answer myself. I heard Dell and ThinkPad seemed to be best, but I don't know. | 16:36 |
| Joker_-_ | abhi_: I guess everything is kinda compatible. The newer, the less likely to be fully compatible tho | 16:36 |
| Alan_M | https://wiki.ubuntu.com/LaptopTestingTeam abhi_ you can try looking at this link :) | 16:37 |
| Alan_M | im not sure of how "up to date" it is. | 16:37 |
| fwaokda | how do you edit tilda? like its options? | 16:37 |
| Raheem | abhi_, http://www.linux-laptop.net/ that also helps i believe | 16:37 |
| Joker_-_ | abhi_: Corporations are building drivers for windows, but thats the community who has to develop drivers for the majority of hardware in linux, without having the specs needed from manifacturers most of the time... Reverse engeneering ftw. | 16:38 |
| Alan_M | Raheem: i wasnt aware of that page, thanks :) | 16:38 |
| abhi_ | Joker_-_,, BlearyBram : few days back i am compiling kernel . one option is there for 1>dell 2>toshiba. | 16:38 |
| Joker_-_ | abhi_: so the older it is, the most likely it is to be compatible | 16:38 |
| Raheem | :) | 16:38 |
| abhi_ | that true | 16:38 |
| cr0w | hi i have a problem..as the themes are settled? I do not succeed to us.. | 16:38 |
| fwaokda | whats the command to uninstall a program from shell? | 16:38 |
| Sudowman | fwaokda: apt-get remove | 16:39 |
| Alan_M | cr0w: can you rephrase your question? i am not understanding you buddy :) | 16:39 |
| Raheem | abhi_, i am using hp compaq 6720s .. core2duo .. works perfectly | 16:39 |
| abhi_ | thinks dell is selling laptops with ubuntu in us | 16:39 |
| Alan_M | abhi_: you are right | 16:39 |
| cr0w | Alan_m i want install a theme.. | 16:39 |
| fwaokda | ty :) | 16:39 |
| cr0w | but..i don't succeed .. | 16:39 |
| crawler | hi everybody | 16:39 |
| abhi_ | Raheem, : which model | 16:39 |
| Joker_-_ | abhi_: I have a few friends who got everything working out of their macs... none uses ubuntu tho | 16:39 |
| Alan_M | cr0w: what part of installing are you having trouble with? do you get any error messages? | 16:39 |
| Joker_-_ | abhi_: but any distro is the same when it comes to hardware | 16:39 |
| abhi_ | Joker_-_, : good joke | 16:39 |
| xidryck | hi, im a newbie in ubuntu. do i need an anti-virus in ubuntu? | 16:40 |
| leftyfb | xidryck: no | 16:40 |
| Raheem | HP Compaq 6720s . .the only issue I had was with the wireless.. but it got solved when i upgraded to 8.04 | 16:40 |
| Sudowman | xidryck: nope, but you should configure a firewall | 16:40 |
| Joker_-_ | abhi_: heh, wasnt a joke, no pun intended ;) | 16:40 |
| Raheem | !antivirus | 16:40 |
| ubottu | antivirus is something you don't really need on Linux, unless you serve windows clients. ClamAV and aegis are decent linux virusscanners. Also see !linuxvirus | 16:40 |
| xidryck | leftyfb> what abount in wine? | 16:40 |
| Alan_M | xidryck: ubuntu is linux..and linux doesnt have any virii associated with it, so the simple and short answer is no :) | 16:40 |
| Joker_-_ | abhi_: have you googled like I told you to? | 16:40 |
| xidryck | thanks all | 16:40 |
| cr0w | Alan_M i download the theme and I do not know what I must make. | 16:40 |
| Alan_M | cr0w: can you please take this back out of private message so that we can all contribute? thank you :) | 16:41 |
| Joker_-_ | abhi_: whats your macbook type? | 16:41 |
| abhi_ | Joker_-_, : i will check it latter | 16:41 |
| leftyfb | xidryck: windows virus's are VERY difficult, or impossible to run in wine. People have tried. | 16:41 |
| chubby_sby | how active samba in ubuntu 8.40 | 16:41 |
| abhi_ | Joker_-_, : i am going to buy | 16:41 |
| Joker_-_ | abhi_: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/MacBook | 16:41 |
| Alan_M | cr0w, are you on Ubuntu hardy herron? | 16:41 |
| Joker_-_ | abhi_: first hit | 16:41 |
| cr0w | yes | 16:41 |
| Darkchef | hey all, anyone know how to limit the cpu usage ?? its making my laptop very hot ?? | 16:41 |
| xidryck | leftyfb> so wine is safe | 16:41 |
| Joker_-_ | abhi_: I simply typed: macbook ubuntu howto: 62 000 hits in 0,24 secs... | 16:42 |
| Joker_-_ | talk about efficiency | 16:42 |
| Joker_-_ | I bet google doesnt work on Windows :) | 16:42 |
| Darkchef | abhi_: try google first | 16:42 |
| Darkchef | joker _-_ - it does | 16:42 |
| Windsurfer619 | leftyfb: Wine isn't "Safe". You can still infect things or delete your system running something with wine. | 16:42 |
| Joker_-_ | Darkchef: wow, stunning :P | 16:42 |
| Sudowman | Darkchef: in /etc/limits.conf | 16:42 |
| xidryck | sudowman> how do i configure a firewall in ubuntu? | 16:43 |
| bsrat | have machine 64bit amd, 4gb. is it better to install 32bit or 64bit to run my 32-bit fps games | 16:43 |
| Darkchef | gksudo /etc/limits.conf ? | 16:43 |
| Alan_M | cr0w: you can follow these steps, go to the system tab...go to the preferences submenu item...then move your mouse over to the Appearance menu item, click on that....then drag the theme that you got from the website to the little list of themes..and it should be all set. | 16:43 |
| leftyfb | Windsurfer619: I never said wine was "safe". But for the most part, people have tried to run some of the most dangerous virus's in wine and failed. | 16:43 |
| winboard | hallo | 16:44 |
| Sudowman | xidryck: To configure a firewall manually you should use iptables, see man iptables, but I think there are easier ways to do it with a gui | 16:44 |
| === eth01officehowde is now known as eth01|canarywhar | ||
| Sudowman | !firewall | 16:44 |
| ubottu | Ubuntu, like any other linux distribution, has firewall capabilities built-in. The firewall is managed using the 'iptables' command (see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/IptablesHowTo), or GUI applications such as Firestarter (Gnome) or Guarddog (KDE). | 16:44 |
| Windsurfer619 | leftyfb: That may be true, but the ultimate goal of wine is to get those viruses to actually work the same as on windows. | 16:44 |
| leftyfb | Windsurfer619 / xidryck : regardless, wine for the most part should be used to those 1 or 2 windows applications you can't live without. Not for installing crapware you found on limewire or some xxxgirls.exe someone sent you over IM. | 16:44 |
| leftyfb | Windsurfer619: incorrect | 16:44 |
| Darkchef | Sudowman - that conf file is empty | 16:45 |
| Sudowman | Darkchef: see man limits.conf | 16:45 |
| Windsurfer619 | leftyfb: Viruses rely on bugs and quirks in the windows API. Wine is trying to replicate those bugs and quirks. | 16:45 |
| Darkchef | ok | 16:45 |
| Joker_-_ | well, I'm off, be back later | 16:45 |
| xidryck | leftyfb> okay. i just used it to play warcraft III but when i run warcraft all i see is black screen | 16:46 |
| leftyfb | wine is not trying to emulate any bugs or quirks. Nor is it trying to emulate most of the windows api that most applications do not need to run. | 16:46 |
| Darkchef | sudowman : ok ill give it a go | 16:46 |
| Sudowman | Darkchef: my bad it is /etc/security/limits.conf | 16:46 |
| leftyfb | xidryck: that's not a virus. | 16:46 |
| vaibhav | what is happening here | 16:46 |
| vaibhav | anyone here | 16:46 |
| vaibhav | i want help | 16:46 |
| bazhang | vaibhav, ubuntu support | 16:46 |
| xidryck | sudowman> i will try help. there is something in there that says about installing firewall | 16:46 |
| vaibhav | hi | 16:47 |
| Raheem | vaibhav, many here.. state ur issue please | 16:47 |
| vaibhav | i am using ubuntu 5.10 | 16:47 |
| xidryck | leftyfb> i know. i just don't know how to configure it right | 16:47 |
| bazhang | vaibhav, that is eol | 16:47 |
| vaibhav | i am unable to install packages using apt-get | 16:47 |
| vaibhav | please help | 16:47 |
| DRebellion | vaibhav, 5.10 is no longer supported | 16:47 |
| DRebellion | you should upgrade | 16:47 |
| bazhang | vaibhav, there are no more repos for that | 16:47 |
| vaibhav | how to upgrade | 16:47 |
| leftyfb | xidryck: did you look on winehq.org ? | 16:47 |
| NeoGeo64 | the beauty of linux is that you dont have to upgrade if you dont want to | 16:47 |
| leftyfb | vaibhav: what error do you get? | 16:47 |
| bazhang | vaibhav, back up and fresh install | 16:48 |
| DRebellion | vaibhav, download the 8.04 cd from ubuntu.com and install | 16:48 |
| xidryck | leftyfb> not yet | 16:48 |
| vaibhav | ok | 16:48 |
| vaibhav | i am thinking of installing debian | 16:48 |
| xidryck | leftyfb> maybe later. ill set up a firewall for now | 16:48 |
| vaibhav | fed up of this | 16:48 |
| vaibhav | ubuntu | 16:48 |
| vaibhav | 5.10 | 16:48 |
| bazhang | #debian for that vaibhav | 16:48 |
| xidryck | vaibhav> what is devian? | 16:48 |
| phillipedison189 | debian is harder to install.. | 16:48 |
| vaibhav | oh | 16:49 |
| leftyfb | xidryck: is this ubuntu machine a laptop or desktop? | 16:49 |
| Raheem | vaibhav, u r free to install what u want .. | 16:49 |
| DRebellion | vaibhav, you're using a release that's nearly 3 years old. The latest one is *much* improved. | 16:49 |
| vaibhav | yeah | 16:49 |
| xidryck | leftyfb> laptop | 16:49 |
| vaibhav | ok | 16:49 |
| vaibhav | i will upgrade | 16:49 |
| leftyfb | phillipedison189: debian is not harder to install than ubuntu? It's almost exactly the same installation (txt) | 16:49 |
| xidryck | leftyfb> toshiba satellite | 16:49 |
| Darkchef | sudowman : this conf file doesnt help at all | 16:49 |
| phillipedison189 | ah, have things changed since I tried to install sarge?... | 16:50 |
| DRebellion | phillipedison189, this is #ubuntu not #debian | 16:50 |
| DRebellion | oh, right, earlier message | 16:50 |
| DRebellion | ;) | 16:50 |
| carl | For those of you who work in the IT Department of your respective companies, I was wondering what software you use to manage your hardware(whats in each machine/etc)? | 16:51 |
| regeya | manage? bwahahahaha | 16:51 |
| * regeya notes that at his office, it's it management via anarchy | 16:52 | |
| gregory | hello! anyone can help me installing PROSAVAGE DDR videocard driver??? thx | 16:52 |
| carl | lol, ya that is how it is currently here.. I am attempting to straighten it all out | 16:52 |
| regeya | basically the unofficial official policy is that people get to do whatever they want, and they yell at me when their computers stop working. any attempts on my part to rein that in are met with "b-b-but you're giving him too much power!!!" | 16:52 |
| Armored_Azrae1 | carl: Not an IT dept, but for our cluster, we have different machine "classes" organized by hardware, with a set of mac addresses per class. This allows us to control each class of machines separately. The closest thing we use to an accounting system for them though is the records of what MAC addresses are currently on the control lists for each of them, and location queries over SNMP (etc controlled by cfengine). | 16:53 |
| regeya | I'm tempted (since it's a mac shop) to use radmind, but I don't know how well that owuld work with newer machines | 16:53 |
| Sudowman | Darkchef: its where you can put limits on how much users are using the cpu, I thought that's what you wanted | 16:54 |
| Armored_Azrae1 | carl: Data is kept in python pickles at the moment, as management of these machines is infrequent. Not particularly robust if you have many different kinds of systems (i.e. if most systems would be a different class) but in our environment, and many others, people have only 5 or 6 kinds of computers, and just mass numbers of them. | 16:54 |
| regeya | and I have various things shared between machines I can "restore" via rsync, as well as rsync'ed "snapshots" (actually, hardlinked to conserve space) of our fileserver | 16:54 |
| regeya | read the manpage of rsync; iirc the script I have on the ubuntu box is about a dozen lines, most of it to name dirs and purge old copies | 16:55 |
| regeya | whoops, that last line, s/ubuntu/debian/ | 16:56 |
| regeya | since it's a ppc machine and ubuntu doesn't acknowledge ppc machines anymore (hey, guys, there are still a lot of ppc machines out here) | 16:56 |
| jeffwheeler | I'm running two 20" Dell monitors powered by a Nvidia graphics card, one with DVI and one with, uh, whatever the old ones are called, hehe. I've never got them to work beyond a clone, so I always just turn one of them off. | 16:56 |
| gabunga | hi all | 16:56 |
| gabunga | i am trying to deinstall exim4 from my ubuntu | 16:57 |
| === sacul is now known as sacul_away | ||
| Thoku | Hi Jeffwheeler | 16:57 |
| jeffwheeler | The primary monitor just turned to almost solid black with random flashes, and said "Auto-Adjust in Progress." I can see the mouse clearly, but nothing else is visible at all. | 16:57 |
| gabunga | but got a lot of trouble | 16:57 |
| === robert_ is now known as robert_klein | ||
| jeffwheeler | It no longer says Auto-Adjust in Progress (it only did for a few seconds), but still displays random flashing gray on top of the black screen. | 16:58 |
| Thoku | Jeffwheeler: If you enable xinerama in the nvidia gui options set up you can get both screens working. I have a 19" and a 15" set up working together | 16:58 |
| Dr_Willis | I normslly use twinview - and DISABLE xinerama. | 16:58 |
| Dr_Willis | and i use my 2 monitors as one wide desktop | 16:58 |
| jeffwheeler | Oh, I'm sorry; I'm insane. I'm running an ATI card. | 16:58 |
| gabunga | http://paste.ubuntu.com/29338/ | 16:58 |
| xidryck | anyone knows how to add a universe repository? so i can install firestarter | 16:59 |
| gabunga | hier is my paste | 16:59 |
| Dr_Willis | !repos | 16:59 |
| ubottu | The packages in Ubuntu are divided into several sections. More information at https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Repositories and http://www.ubuntu.com/ubuntu/components - See https://wiki.ubuntu.com/RecommendedSources for the recommended way to set up your repositories | 16:59 |
| gabunga | Dr_willis do you mean me? | 16:59 |
| Thoku | jeffwheeler: ah ok. | 16:59 |
| fwaokda | How do i assing a dynamic ip address to a device that is appearing in my wireless notification applet? | 16:59 |
| Dr_Willis | gabunga, no - i got no idea what exim4 even is., :) | 17:00 |
| kevinO | does anyone have any idea why my login screen and desktop are running at different resolutions? | 17:00 |
| gabunga | :-( | 17:00 |
| bastid_raZor | Dr_Willis; i have the exact same setup.. i prefer it over xinerama.. twinview gives you a bit more working space | 17:00 |
| gabunga | i am just trying to remove it | 17:00 |
| hiptobecubic | kevinO, your xorg.conf is not correct | 17:00 |
| Dr_Willis | kevinO, users can have their own custome res. | 17:00 |
| KenBW2 | kevinO: good question - i've noticed that | 17:00 |
| KenBW2 | Dr_Willis: i thought resolution was managed by xorg.conf - a system-wide config file? | 17:01 |
| kevinO | hiptobecubic, the resolution information is no longer held in xorg.conf | 17:01 |
| ingenieroariel | Hello everyone, I would like to know how to add a repository to my source.list, but only use it for an specific set of packages (5 or so) | 17:01 |
| ingenieroariel | I have linux mint and would like to add some gis packages from debian lenny | 17:01 |
| ingenieroariel | but just downloading the .deb's would not be so future proof | 17:01 |
| ingenieroariel | and I don't want either to get lenny packages conflicting with mint packages (a custom vesion of ubuntu | 17:01 |
| Dr_Willis | !info xandr | 17:01 |
| FloodBot1 | ingenieroariel: Please don't flood, use http://paste.ubuntu.com to paste, don't use Enter as punctuation. | 17:01 |
| ubottu | Package xandr does not exist in hardy | 17:01 |
| Thoku | Dr_Willis: xinerama is better imo. You can pass the windows between the 2 screens which twinview doesn't let you do. | 17:01 |
| Dr_Willis | KenBW2, tht defines what red. | 17:01 |
| hiptobecubic | kevinO, then why did changing my xorg.conf fix that problem for me | 17:01 |
| KenBW2 | Dr_Willis: so what's the dofference? | 17:01 |
| kevinO | hiptobecubic, i have no idea, maybe you had gutsy then upgraded? | 17:01 |
| Dr_Willis | Thoku, Huh? i drag my windows from one monitor to the 2nd all the time with twinview. Twinview works MUCH better for me then xinerama | 17:01 |
| hiptobecubic | kevinO, no. clean ubuntu 8.04 install | 17:02 |
| bastid_raZor | Thoku; you are wrong, i drag them all the time. | 17:02 |
| Dr_Willis | KenBW2, the user can pick what res he wants, from the allowed res;s | 17:02 |
| gregory | hello! anyone can help me installing PROSAVAGE DDR videocard driver??? thx | 17:02 |
| KenBW2 | Dr_Willis: ah | 17:02 |
| Thoku | Dr_Willis: I end up with 2 xsessions, 1 for each screen. | 17:02 |
| kevinO | Dr_Willis, I didnt mean i want my own custom res, i want them to be the same, how do i do that? | 17:02 |
| Dr_Willis | Thoku, you have is set up tht way then. thats one way to do it., | 17:02 |
| hiptobecubic | kevinO, i went under "screen" and got rid of all of the resolutions except the one i wanted on my desktop and that forced the login screen to take it as well | 17:02 |
| Dr_Willis | kevinO, no idea. could define only ONe rex i xorg.conf i guess. | 17:03 |
| ingenieroariel | How do I add an entry to sources.list that is only used for a smallset of packages (i.e. a couple of gis packages from debian lenny on a ubuntu 8.04 box) | 17:03 |
| hiptobecubic | because there were no other choices | 17:03 |
| KenBW2 | Dr_Willis: so where's the config file for users' reses? | 17:03 |
| kevinO | hiptobecubic, i dont even have that section. | 17:03 |
| gabunga | HALLO ALL | 17:03 |
| Thoku | Dr_Willis: Ah ok | 17:03 |
| bazhang | ingenieroariel, mint? | 17:03 |
| ingenieroariel | yup | 17:03 |
| gabunga | please helo | 17:03 |
| Agion | hi, can anyone help me getting my flash work?? | 17:03 |
| gabunga | i mean help | 17:03 |
| gabunga | http://paste.ubuntu.com/29338/ | 17:03 |
| Dr_Willis | KenBW2, kde and gnome both have a config tool for tht i thought. or you can use the various xrandr tools to set the res on the fly as a user. | 17:03 |
| bazhang | ingenieroariel, mint is not supported here | 17:03 |
| gabunga | i cannot remove exim4 | 17:03 |
| ingenieroariel | In fact I want to do that on ubuntu jeos too | 17:03 |
| ingenieroariel | :D | 17:03 |
| Alan_M | is the guy with the theme problems here still that i was helping a few minutes ago? | 17:03 |
| hiptobecubic | kevinO, you don't have a section called 'Screen' ? | 17:04 |
| staj | help | 17:04 |
| KenBW2 | Dr_Willis: yea but i assume theres a config file somewhere? | 17:04 |
| ingenieroariel | so I could try any suggestion there | 17:04 |
| Dr_Willis | KenBW2, proberly is a setting somewhere.. of course. | 17:04 |
| Alan_M | if he's still here im sorry....my internet connection just died..and i couldnt get it back for a while. | 17:04 |
| kevinO | KenBW2, you are having the same problem as me? at the login screen the display is off to the left or right, an auto adjust on the monitor fixes it, but once you login, the display is off again | 17:04 |
| === MrObviouszzz is now known as MrObvious | ||
| KenBW2 | Dr_Willis: so is that the difference between Screens and Graphics and Screen Resolution config apps? | 17:05 |
| bazhang | ingenieroariel, what you want is apt-pinning; not for the faint of heart and highly unrecommended | 17:05 |
| staj | hi guys | 17:05 |

| Alan_M | staj, please dont spam | 17:05 |
| staj | ok | 17:05 |
| staj | sorry | 17:05 |
| KenBW2 | kevinO: no, just that the login screen is at 1024x768 and when i login its 1152x864 | 17:05 |
| Dr_Willis | KenBW2, i use the nvidia-0settings tool to set the system wide res, then the users can select their own using the other tools. | 17:05 |

| Agion | hi, can anyone help me getting my flash work?? | 17:08 |
| Dr_Willis | Zunde, not doable under gnome I belive... other desktops/windowmanagers can have tht feature. | 17:08 |
| Raheem | ingenieroariel, well, in my opinion, mint is nothing but Ubuntu, with some apps pre-installed .. you can always get them in ubuntu though | 17:08 |
| KenBW2 | Agion: whats the problem with it | 17:08 |
| adaead | [ U y a r ý ] : KenBW2 : Lütfen Seviyeyi Düþürmeyiniz Aksi Taktirde Kanaldan Uzaklaþtýrýlýcaksýnýz !. | 17:08 |

| Alan_M | I have a problem myself, I have a ricoh 5 in 1 memory card reader....its not auto mounting...i tried to put in a memory card to the slot..and its not even recognizing that the card is there...suggestions? | 17:09 |
| ingenieroariel | I have tried a couple of times, to get ubuntu pimped up, but mint does a better job out of the box | 17:09 |
| Dr_Willis | kevinO, the new 'auto configuring-minimal' X system now - have a very minimal xorg.conf :) and it can cause troubles. | 17:09 |
| ingenieroariel | I still use ubuntu server and ubuntu jeos | 17:09 |
| ingenieroariel | :D | 17:09 |
| eshat | anzone else knowing how ubuntu mounts USB Sticks automaticlly ??? | 17:09 |
| leftyfb | Agion: sudo apt-get install flashplugin-nonfree --reinstall | 17:10 |
| bazhang | ingenieroariel, but that is offtopic here and not supported | 17:10 |
| KenBW2 | eshat: what do you mean by automatically | 17:10 |
| Armored_Azrae1 | eshat: As far as I can tell it watches the HAL. | 17:10 |
| Agion | ok, I'll try it | 17:10 |
| ingenieroariel | :P, thanks a lot bazhang for your pointer | 17:10 |
| regeya | eshat: is that what you mean? at startup? then yes, if you're using it at startup and just keep it plugged in, then yes, follow that advice; otherwise, hopefully someone sitting in front of their ubuntu box please tell eshat where to look | 17:10 |
| ingenieroariel | :D | 17:10 |
| bazhang | np | 17:10 |
| Armored_Azrae1 | px2: Check the HTTP headers on the response to a request. | 17:10 |
| Dr_Willis | ingenieroariel, im using mint on a lot of mahines also.. :) I just keep quiet about it. :P | 17:10 |
| ingenieroariel | shh | 17:10 |
| regeya | KenBW2: on my home machine, here's the steps I go to mount a USB disk: 1.) plug it in. 2.) wait | 17:11 |
| Sinnerman | hi. im using cryptkeeper and encfs. is it possible to get encfs to default to AES whilst using cryptkeeper? | 17:11 |
| eshat | Armored_Azrae1: I restarted hal, no success | 17:11 |
| hiptobecubic | what exactly is the idea behind mint? just prettier? | 17:11 |
| KenBW2 | regeya: what if he/she wants it mounted at boot? | 17:11 |
| Alan_M | !ot | hiptobecubic | 17:11 |
| ubottu | hiptobecubic: #ubuntu is the Ubuntu support channel, #ubuntu+1 supports the development version of Ubuntu and #ubuntu-offtopic is for random chatter. Welcome! | 17:11 |
| Armored_Azrae1 | eshat: Plug it in, check dmesg | 17:11 |
| Dr_Willis | hiptobecubic, it has some packags installed/setup by default that ubuntu cant/wont do. Check homepage for more | 17:11 |
| Armored_Azrae1 | (see if there's a plug event registered on udev) | 17:11 |
| * ingenieroariel sits quiet with a tiny smile and a guilty look | 17:11 | |
| Agion | KenBW2: the problem is that it flashes black in like 3-5 times a sec.... | 17:11 |
| kevinO | ok, so where can i find some normal screen resolution values to put in my xorg.conf. | 17:11 |
| eshat | Armored_Azrae1: dmesg find's the device and there are no problems | 17:12 |
| bazhang | lets take mint chat to #ubuntu-offtopic please | 17:12 |
| regeya | KenBW2: hey eshat, are you wanting it to mount at boot? if so, follow KenBW2's advice, otherwise... | 17:12 |
| KenBW2 | regeya: oh yea | 17:12 |
| hiptobecubic | kevinO, have you tried using nvidia-settings? | 17:12 |
| kevinO | hiptobecubic, i dont have a nvidia chipset or video card | 17:12 |
| Armored_Azrae1 | eshat: Sorry then--I know about udev, and that HAL triggers the plug, but that's about it :( | 17:12 |
| hiptobecubic | kevinO, what do you use? | 17:12 |
| regeya | KenBW2: if I want to mount a disk at boot, then absolutely, I'll ad the filesystem's uuid to fstab. but I don't make a habit of it on removable media, because it's removable | 17:13 |

| fwaokda | is there anyway to have a terminal window embedded into my desktop? | 17:15 |
| kevinO | hiptobecubic, nope that doesnt work either, i have even tried to deleteing the xorg file altogether then regenerating it with dexconf. | 17:16 |
| Dr_Willis | fwaokda, theres some tricks to do that. Or thers some Hit F12 and have one popdown tools also. | 17:16 |
| FibonacciGold | fwaokda: You could try something like yakuake | 17:16 |
| kevinO | kevinO, but it just does the auto value crap | 17:16 |

| fwaokda | bazhang, i was using tilda but i want one that continually runs on my desktop below all other windows | 17:17 |

| bazhang | yakuake is kde fwaokda similar to tilda | 17:18 |
| hiptobecubic | fwaokda, if you hot-key the terminal to something easy to do you might be alright not having it embedded. you'd have to minimize windows to get to it anyway. I use alt-gr+space to open a terminal window and i don't even have to move my hands from the homerow | 17:18 |

| SebNaitsabes | yassine_: I got a nice tutorial that covers insatlling Skype, it's for Kubuntu, but you can figure out from that for Ubuntu :) | 17:28 |
| kevinO | fwaokda, are you able to set an ip address on your phone? | 17:28 |
| Sudowman | thorny_sun: you should be able to press a letter ( I think it is e ) to edit the params. Add init=/bin/bash to the line with the kernel, and it should boot into a root shell | 17:28 |

| kevinO | fwaokda, you probably can set the ip address on the htc, being that its showing up in your network adapters, its probably got a dhcp ip address already. | 17:31 |

| SebNaitsabes | CanOfRats: no don't think so, but you can send photos through IM networks in Pidgin and what not of course | 17:53 |
| kevinO | Dr_Willis, if it then probes the card and monitor and uses those values ill be sol? | 17:53 |
| falstaff | SebNaitsabes, yes i did this | 17:53 |
| arvind_khadri | falstaff, first see the logs for any crash report | 17:53 |
| cr0w_ | exist a program in order to protect a folder with a password ?! | 17:53 |
| falstaff | sebastien, Pop up doesnt works without compiz | 17:53 |
| fwaokda | kevinO, yup | 17:53 |
| SebNaitsabes | falstaff: Compiz shoudn't need to be used for anything to do with Wine | 17:54 |
| kevinO | fwaokda, how did it work | 17:54 |
| fwaokda | kevinO, im stuck at a point in the instructions as detailed here -- http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?p=5435658#post5435658 | 17:54 |
| Odd-rationale | jlewis: what folder is the locked folder in? | 17:54 |
| SebNaitsabes | falstaff: interesting to some extent issue, but it's not really Ubuntu so try #winehq | 17:54 |
| VileTimes | Zyna: I had an old laptop that didn't like the Ubuntu install CD either. I eventually installed Ubuntu server, and eventually turfed that in favour of Crux Linux | 17:54 |
| cr0w_ | exist a program in order to protect a folder with a password ?! | 17:54 |
| jlewis | Odd-rationale; it is in my Home folder under my username. | 17:54 |
| falstaff | arvind_khadri, the game doesnt crash... compiz also not. The game has multiply window, but only the "poping" window disapears | 17:54 |
| Zyna | VileTimes, no, you think that would help getting ubuntu unstalled? | 17:54 |
| snmpee_ | Dr_Willis bitlbee is an interesting IM app as well, it uses irc to interface with all those IM networks | 17:54 |
| Abed | problem with my bluetooth adapter { it isn't enabled} | 17:54 |
| Odd-rationale | jlewis: ok. pastebin the output of "ls -l ~" | 17:55 |
| arvind_khadri | falstaff, hmm not sure ask #compiz-fusion | 17:55 |
| Dr_Willis | kevinO, try it and see.. i guess | 17:55 |
| arvind_khadri | !bluetooth | Abed | 17:55 |
| ubottu | Abed: For instructions on how to set up bluetooth, see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/BluetoothSetup | 17:55 |
| VileTimes | Zyna: It might help you narrow down the problem. If your machine can boot up DSL, then it doesn't like the Ubuntu spalsh screen. | 17:55 |
| nico_ | where can i set mac addresse ?? in /etc/network/interfaces ? or in /etc/init.d/network ?? | 17:55 |
| Abed | !bluetooth | 17:55 |

| Abed | arvind_khadri, yeah it is not enabled yet | 17:56 |
| SebNaitsabes | x_hunter: you want to phone real phones? or just computers? | 17:56 |
| Zyna | VileTimes, I allready tried nosplash, didnt help | 17:56 |
| Odd-rationale | nico_: do sudo /etc/init.d/networking stop | 17:56 |
| kevinO | fwaokda, in those instructions at the bottom read "If you get an error that no devices are connected to odccm you should probably blacklist ipaq module, by adding | 17:56 |

| kevinO | yeah, did you get my last message? | 17:57 |
| fwaokda | kevinO, btw i tried the blacklisting thing and that didn't work | 17:57 |

| SebNaitsabes | yes yes that can happen | 18:03 |
| ZeroOP_ | but yeah, tahnks for the lead on their website | 18:03 |

| === kitsune_ is now known as [agatha] | ||
| weretaco | well.. i need to be on static IP in the office | 18:16 |
| weretaco | which also means specifying a dns server | 18:17 |
| weretaco | i tried it before adding a script to add the static DNS servers to the resolv.conf on bootup | 18:17 |
| jlewis | Odd-rationale: What denom are you? | 18:17 |
| kevinO | weretaco, is the static ip in the office much different from your home? | 18:17 |
| weretaco | but then it'd have to wait for the non existant first one left from the dhcp to timeout before moving on | 18:17 |
| Sudowman | thorny__sun: I would recommend setting the root passwd, so that if something goes wrong when you boot back into the real ubuntu you should be able to fix it from there | 18:17 |
| Flannel | Sudowman, thorny__sun: you really don't need a root password. sudo covers everything you need. | 18:17 |
| thorny__sun | Sudowman: yeah-- and now i will actually try to remember it | 18:18 |
| Flannel | thorny__sun: You didn't need to boot to a liveCD anyway. You should've used the recovery console | 18:18 |
| thorny__sun | Sudowman: so how does 'passwd root' change the root password of my hd install root instead of the root password of my live cd root? | 18:19 |
| kevinO | weretaco, couldnt you just give your home network the same subnet ip as your work? | 18:19 |
| thorny__sun | Sudowman: it just doesn't seem like i should be able to do this? isn't this a security hole? | 18:19 |
| Chousuke | thorny__sun: depends; which system are you booted to? | 18:20 |
| thorny__sun | Chousuke: I booted to live cd | 18:20 |
| Chousuke | then it changes the livecd root user's pass | 18:20 |
| thorny__sun | Flannel: so forgetting the root password doesn't matter at all? | 18:20 |
| Sudowman | Chousuke: he/she is chrooted into ubuntu install | 18:20 |
| Flannel | thorny__sun: All you need to do is boot to the recovery console, and re-add your user to the admin group. No liveCD needed. And certainly don't set a root password | 18:20 |
| Chousuke | Sudowman: ah, hmm | 18:20 |
| Chousuke | in that case, yes. | 18:21 |
| Flannel | thorny__sun: The root password doesn't exist by default. The root account is locked. | 18:21 |
| Ithilin | could someone tell me where the .bashrc or .zshrc files are? I need to edit them. | 18:21 |
| thorny__sun | Sudowman: so chroot then transfers me over to my hd isntall as root on that? | 18:21 |
| Flannel | Ithilin: ~/.bashrc (/home/user/.bashrc | 18:21 |
| Sudowman | Flannel: recovery console? is that single user mode? | 18:21 |
| halp9 | hi. How to set in GNOME to have PL language and PL locale for my current user? | 18:21 |

| Flannel | Ithilin: the same (just different name) | 18:21 |
| Ithilin | ok thanks again | 18:21 |
| Flannel | Ithilin: Although it may not exist already | 18:22 |
| Sudowman | thorny__sun: yeah, but keeps certain things from livecd such as kernel and /proc | 18:22 |
| thorny__sun | Flannel: i'll set my root password anyway since i don't remember it | 18:22 |
| soundray | halp9: prepare your system with System-Administration-Language Support, then choose Polish as the language at the login screen | 18:22 |
| Flannel | thorny__sun: You should lock your root account. You should not have a root password set. | 18:22 |
| zoreau | are there any music players that let me play music over the network | 18:22 |
| Flannel | thorny__sun: sudo passwd -l root | 18:22 |

| kevinO | weretaco, if you make your home networks ip adress the same as your works, then you can give your laptop the static ip it needs for your work. and you can keep your home network dhcp, just make sure the starting range for ip addresses will accommodate your work ip address. a static ip will work on a dhcp as long as its within range and not assigned already i believe. | 18:24 |
| pmmadog | thank you | 18:24 |
| Flannel | thorny__sun: In the future, remember the -a | 18:24 |
| kevinO | weretaco, then you should be able to go to and from with no configuration | 18:25 |
| Flannel | thorny__sun: yes. The root account is locked, and there's no need to unlock it | 18:25 |
| thorny__sun | Flannel: yeah-- figured that out a little too late | 18:25 |
| thorny__sun | Flannel: so that means knowing the password is useless? | 18:25 |
| zoreau | anyone know of a music and/or video player that can open files located somewhere on my home network | 18:25 |
| Flannel | thorny__sun: there is no password to know. | 18:25 |
| thorny__sun | oh ok | 18:25 |
| Zyna | VileTimes, tried to install 8.04 server this time and it gets stuck at USB init as well... just says 8 ports detected in the last line... that's it... just stops and after a few seconds the cd stops rotating | 18:26 |
| Flannel | zoreau: Once you've mounted your network shares, any/all players should be able to open them | 18:26 |
| thorny__sun | Flannel: Sudowman: may i say that usermod should append by default and remove only with an extra switch | 18:26 |
| soundray | zoreau: if you mount the network share, you can play the music files in the share with any player | 18:26 |
| skaflem | zoreau: I just share the media-files with smb/nfs, and open them "localy" on my computer :) | 18:26 |
| weretaco | kevinO: I think i might run into issues with that | 18:27 |
| weretaco | because the DNS ip will be different | 18:27 |
| weretaco | I am thinking | 18:27 |
| zoreau | soundray: how do i mount the folder? | 18:27 |
| Sudowman | thorny__sun: you can do that if you want, using aliases | 18:27 |
| weretaco | that I could write a bash script that pings the gateway here on the lan, since that connects before X starts anyways | 18:27 |
| weretaco | if it's up, I know I'm at work | 18:27 |
| weretaco | if it fails, I'm at home | 18:27 |
| soundray | zoreau: Places-Connect to Server | 18:27 |
| weretaco | then i cna just modify resolv.conf if i'm here with the right dns, and at home let dhcpd overwrite it | 18:28 |
| zoreau | oh well then it should be working, but its not | 18:28 |
| soundray | zoreau: what version of Ubuntu do you have? | 18:28 |
| Flannel | thorny__sun: most people just use users/groups, and avoid the issue. | 18:28 |
| kevinO | weretaco, just setup a dns for each place, in order of which place you want to use the internet the most i guess :)) | 18:29 |
| zoreau | 8.04 hardy | 18:29 |
| weretaco | yeah.. i was doing that | 18:29 |
| weretaco | but it takes soo long to timeout on dns :P | 18:29 |
| weretaco | unless you can change that | 18:29 |
| weretaco | hrmmm | 18:29 |
| kevinO | every internet service provider should give you a dns ip to use | 18:29 |
| soundray | zoreau: just to clarify: you can access the share, but not play the files? | 18:29 |
| kevinO | oh you already did that | 18:29 |
| zoreau | correct | 18:30 |
| jonny__ | hi@all | 18:30 |

| === zack__ is now known as Sodamodo | ||
| zoreau | Im currently looking at the music on my other comp thru Banshee's 'open file' andall the songs are greyed out | 18:30 |
| thorny__sun | Flannel: what do you mean users/groups? i created a new group and was tryin to add my user to it.. how would you do that? | 18:30 |
| Sudowman | Flannel: sudo is no more secure than logging in as root, providing you know not to login as root when you dont need to. | 18:30 |
| Flannel | thorny__sun: in the GUI, system > admin > users and groups | 18:31 |
| thorny__sun | oh | 18:31 |
| Flannel | !sudo | Sudowman | 18:31 |
| ubottu | Sudowman: sudo is a command to run programs with superuser privileges ("root"). Look at https://help.ubuntu.com/community/RootSudo for more information. For graphical applications see !gksu (Gnome), or !kdesu (KDE) | 18:31 |
| Flannel | Sudowman: that page explains some of the benefits of using sudo vs using root | 18:31 |
| zoreau | soundray: Banshee and thestandard Movie Player | 18:31 |
| keram` | how can i make it so that when a network interfaces comes up it automatically creates a secondary interface on a different subnet (like ifconfig eth0:1 192.168.10.5) | 18:31 |
| soundray | zoreau: it could be just a permissions problem. If it's that, copying those files to your local desktop would fail, too. Have you tried that? | 18:32 |
| zoreau | Movie player crashes, and banshee wont open remote files | 18:32 |
| keram` | i have tried using post-up ifconfig eth0:1 192.168.10.5 but it doesnt seem to do anything | 18:32 |
| zoreau | i just copied one to make sure it could open, it wasfine | 18:32 |
| Sudowman | Flannel: I think the reason is more that if ubuntu ever does get widespread like windows, and everyone is competent enough to know how to login as root, then ubuntu will suffer from the same problems as windows | 18:33 |
| Sinnerman | hi is there a way to find out what icon a program is using to display in the notification area? | 18:33 |
| kevinO | weretaco, there has got to nbe some program that will allow you to choose a location | 18:33 |
| weretaco | yeah.. i just want automagical :P | 18:33 |
| soundray | zoreau: you might try mounting the share on the command line instead of through gnome | 18:33 |
| ml | ok so I wanted to hack the scripts in the livecd (usb version), I managed to find the filesystem on the liveusb ubuntu 8.04, called filesystem.squashfs, I extracted it, modified the /etc/init.d/myscript, repacked the squashfs files, recopy on key, and now it looked as if it would work, but then I lost every right (cannot sudo su, cannot startx, etc...) ne1 knows why ? | 18:33 |
| thorny__sun | Sudowman: thanks so much for the help and time!! u saved me! | 18:33 |
| Sudowman | Flannel: if you know how to use linux properly logging in as root is fine | 18:33 |
| fwaokda | soundray, i looked on the forums but no how-tos | 18:34 |
| zoreau | soundray: how do I do that | 18:34 |
| kevinO | weretaco, then the way i described to you about putting both networks is the best your going to get for now unless you can find a program on the net for it | 18:34 |
| Flannel | Sudowman: sudo does nothing to keep you from breaking your own system. You can have a root terminal, etc. It provides the admins more control over what non-admins can do, plus the security benefits (guessing username and password instead of just password) | 18:34 |
| weretaco | yeah | 18:34 |
| weretaco | I think I found an option for DNS timeouts | 18:34 |
| weretaco | so if I lower that | 18:35 |
| kevinO | but you still have the timeout issue | 18:35 |
| DarkAudit | getting strange sound system behavior... no audio previews in Nautilus, no sound from VLC, and ALSA lib control.c:909:(snd_ctl_open_noupdate) Invalid CTL front:0 | 18:35 |
| weretaco | i shoudlnt see the difference really | 18:35 |
| kevinO | ahh cool | 18:35 |
| soundray | fwaokda: http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=30936 | 18:35 |
| weretaco | just have it timeout soon enough that I don't notice it :P | 18:35 |
| kevinO | 1 second :) | 18:35 |
| DarkAudit | all dependent on what the session is. In GNOME or KDE, I get the errors. *Not* in fluxbox | 18:35 |
| imaginativeone | I need a better irc client than pidgeon | 18:35 |
| snmpee_ | Sudowman: logging in as root generally a bad practice. in fact, most of the linux channels have root@ banned to encourage using lesser accounts. I'm not going to argue with you, but there's no reason to take such risks. | 18:35 |
| imaginativeone | are there any others? | 18:35 |
| Flannel | Sudowman: There's absolutely no reason to enable the root account in Ubuntu, which is why we don't support it, and ask you not to recommend it to people here, unless you're going to be here to support them 24/7 | 18:35 |
| Flannel | imaginativeone: xchat | 18:35 |
| DarkAudit | if I'm in fluxbox, audio previews in Nautilus works fine | 18:35 |
| fwaokda | soundray, thanks i'm trying it now | 18:35 |
| imaginativeone | flannel: thanks | 18:36 |
| soundray | zoreau: I can only give you a rough pointer, as it's been some time since I did this: 'sudo mount -t cifs -o user=username,pass='password' //server/sharename /mnt' | 18:36 |
| soundray | zoreau: note this is insecure when you're on a shared system | 18:36 |
| zoreau | how so? | 18:36 |
| soundray | zoreau: another user might read your commandline, which contains the password, by typing 'ps aux' | 18:37 |
| === AsemAFK is now known as Scissor_Man | ||
| === Scissor_Man is now known as Asema | ||
| Sudowman | Flannel: snmpee_ : I dont want to argue either, but the fifth point on that page is BS , for obvious reasons | 18:38 |
| soundray | zoreau: have a look at 'man mount' -- it explains how you can put the user and pass in a credentials file and not have it show up in the process list | 18:38 |
| snmpee_ | Sudowman take it to #ubuntu-offtopic | 18:38 |

| fwaokda | soundray, mine doesn't have ipaq runnin :( so i dont think that how to works for me mine says "rndis_host" | 18:40 |

| Awsoonn | Flannel: domo | 18:41 |

| taime1 | conference mode, ops.. c'mon.. | 18:46 |

| Sudowman | thorny_sun: yes, with physical access you can do anything. You can put a boot passwd onto the machine to stop people booting into livecds or other operating systems, but then attackers can just steal your harddisk and get your data | 19:22 |

| naftilos76 | hi to everybody, i've just imigrated from fedora to ubuntu and it seems great! But i still have a tiny problem with firefox 3. It indicates that java is not working when i try java in java.com. Any ideas? | 19:24 |
| DarkAudit | something broke in ALSA, but the test seems to work. Only when certain applications need sound does it fail. Any idea what I broke? | 19:25 |
| thorny_sun | unop: little borther isn't around-- and as Sudowman and I just demonstrated the password is kinda useless if you have physical access anyhow | 19:25 |
| hiptobecubic | naftilos76, have you installed java using synaptic/aptitude? | 19:25 |
| mgreen | migzu_: yes, but it worked before using proprietary drivers, right? | 19:25 |
| === level09__ is now known as level09 | ||

| mgreen | neuromit: go for AMD64, perhaps? | 19:29 |
| DarkAudit | spi343: yes. Totem works, Amarok works, VLC does *not*, mouseover preview of an audio file does *not*... and only when in GNOME. In another session manager, it all works | 19:29 |
| migzu_ | mgreen, And how do i do taht | 19:29 |
| Hotkey | Sylphid|work that seems more like a way to get a script to run an ap. | 19:29 |

| migzu_ | friends | 19:29 |
| shesek | if I accidentally changed the password for mysql's user debian-sys-maint, what should I do ? | 19:30 |
| wols | neuromit: you can however run a amd64 kernel with your 32bit userland just fine | 19:30 |
| mgreen | neuromit: amd64 works very good nowadays, though | 19:30 |
| neuromit | if you enable PAE under kernel 2.6 you can get 36 bit addressing which is up to 64gb of ram | 19:30 |
| deserteagle | hello all | 19:30 |
| wols | neuromit: tell me which program can actually use PAE | 19:30 |
| Hotkey | Sylphid|work in the windowz world I had an app running in the background that would allow me to define any key combos and have that combo type anything when I pressed the keys. Like name, address, state, city, zip code, credit card number, email address, etc. | 19:30 |
| jochmen | cant type fast running linux on the nintend ds | 19:30 |
| abhi_ | how can i edit the files in /usr/share/applications/xx.desktop | 19:30 |
| wols | besides, you can use a bigmem kernel | 19:30 |
| neuromit | wols: the kernel uses pae not individual programs (if I understand) | 19:30 |
| migzu_ | mgreen, Could this problem be because of amd64? | 19:31 |
| deserteagle | does anyone have a clue as to why i can play music just fine with my xmms but not vlc? | 19:31 |
| deserteagle | new sound card | 19:31 |
| jochmen | ;) | 19:31 |
| mgreen | migzu_: i'm running amd64 | 19:31 |
| neuromit | well I use matlab and aI analyze very large data sets needed as much ram as possible | 19:31 |
| migzu_ | So am i | 19:31 |
| spi343 | DarkAudit, in System->Preferences->Sound you can change the sound playback driver, maybe you can try them all | 19:31 |
| wols | neuromit: just use a amd64 kernel | 19:31 |
| jochmen | !sound | 19:31 |
| ubottu | If you're having problems with sound, first ensure ALSA is selected, by double clicking on the volume control, then File -> Change Device (ALSA Mixer). If that fails, see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Sound - https://help.ubuntu.com/community/SoundTroubleshooting - http://alsa.opensrc.org/DmixPlugin - For playing audio files, see !Players and !MP3 | 19:31 |

| ubottu | To blacklist a module, edit /etc/modprobe.d/my_blacklist and add « blacklist <modulename> » to the end of that list - To explicitly load modules in a specific order, list them in /etc/initramfs-tools/modules and type « sudo update-initramfs -u » | 19:37 |
| mgreen | hiptobecubic: do you have a specific issue that we may be of help of or are you sure that you need that package? | 19:37 |
| spi343 | wols, ok that would disable it for good, i just need something like /etc/init.d/pcmcia stop; do stuff without pcmcia; then restart service | 19:38 |

| naftilos76 | Hi i changed from fedora to ubuntu Ultimate Edition and java does not seem to work when i go to java.com for a check...Any ideas? | 19:39 |
| Sylphid|work | Hotkey, you may be able to put some static entries into the clipboard and set shortcuts to paste from there | 19:39 |
| hiptobecubic | and he does a really awkward look replacement of hardy with intrepid in the sources file. it seems like there is a better way to do it, which is what i'm looking for | 19:39 |
| Hotkey | Sylphid|work thx | 19:39 |

| jcg | Como utilizar o Squad, para ler um arquivo de log?..Alguem sabe? | 19:41 |
| hiptobecubic | mgreen, msome quicktime videos don't work and others do, which is exactly the problem he's describing in the post. He says that the mplayer from intrepid doesn't have the same issue so he switches "hardy" with "intrepid" in sources.list. then installs mplayer, then switches it back | 19:41 |

| FibonacciGold | Chad: How are you "installing" the ATI driver. | 20:18 |
| ubuntu | why don't you make programs easier to install? and why ubuntu doesn't come with what's necessary to compile some installation programs? | 20:18 |
| mgreen | hailu: have you tried unmounted with the console? | 20:18 |
| chriswr | phaverkamp: got another error | 20:18 |
| NinjaElf | soundray thanks. thats a little more then i expected. I'll play with that and see how it works. | 20:18 |
| hailu | no, i'm not sure how to do that mgreen | 20:19 |
| phaverkamp | @chriswr i did to from what i remember what is it now? | 20:19 |
| ubuntu | may I send my fstab to anyone who can fix it? | 20:19 |
| soundray | NinjaElf: I'm sure there are more elegant solutons | 20:19 |
| soundray | ubuntu: you can pastebin your fstab. ubottu sent you a private message explaining how | 20:19 |
| chriswr | phaverkamp: FATAL: No bootable medium found. System halted! | 20:19 |
| jack_spratt | is there a good IRC channel for beginner web devs? | 20:19 |
| phaverkamp | @chriswr Is that while booting a vm? | 20:20 |
| FibonacciGold | Chad: Start your ubuntu in recovery mode and select option to reconfigure your xserver , then log in as normal and use envy to install driver. Might work.... | 20:20 |
| ubuntu | ok thanks I'm on it | 20:20 |
| Pici | jack_spratt: #html , #webgurus | 20:20 |
| bastid_raZor | !envy | 20:20 |
| 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. | 20:20 |
| TerminalTed | jack_spratt, try #php | 20:20 |
| NinjaElf | soundray I'm extremely new to scripting. I don't realy understand this part "do filenames="$filenames $i.png" | 20:21 |
| jack_spratt | Pici & TerminalTed: Thanks :) | 20:21 |
| soundray | ubuntu: installing software could hardly be any easier. You don't have to compile things. See the other private message | 20:21 |
| soundray | !software > ubuntu | 20:21 |
| ubottu | ubuntu, please see my private message | 20:21 |
| mgreen | hailu: i don't know the recommended way to do that via the console, but you could try 'sudo umount /media/thedisk | 20:21 |
| phaverkamp | @chriswr at this point i think your into something where i cant help you, Google is prob your best bet now.. | 20:21 |
| chriswr | phaverkamp: idk , i click start and a pic starts up on the little screen and then it goes black and says that.... | 20:21 |
| lunaris | ubottu can you help me? | 20:21 |
| ubottu | lunaris: Error: I am only a bot, please don't think I'm intelligent :) | 20:21 |
| mgreen | hailu: let me know how that works | 20:21 |
| lunaris | I need some help | 20:21 |

| Pici | /topic #webgurus | 20:22 |
| lunaris | what should I do? | 20:22 |
| soundray | zz: annoying... do you have onboard graphics in addition to the card? | 20:22 |
| chriswr | phaverkamp: what you mean by vm? | 20:22 |
| mgreen | hailu: so, you plug it in. works fine. you unmount with right mouse button on desktop. it won't go away... correct? | 20:22 |
| Pici | jack_spratt: Oops, guess it doesnt exist then, sorry. | 20:22 |
| lunaris | I'm running xubuntu | 20:23 |
| mohan34u | lunaris: which company? what model? | 20:23 |

| regeya | and though most people likely use bash or other bourne-compatible shells, it's always good to point out what shell we're talking about when talking about shellscripting ;-) | 20:23 |
| Chad | FibonacciGold: oh hey thanks for helping yeah i already reset and am using envy, i installed the driver via the reccomended one at the driver installation panel | 20:23 |
| lunaris | Hardy | 20:23 |
| soundray | NinjaElf: then see what 'seq 1 10' does | 20:23 |
| hailu | right, no errors when i unplug the drive, it just doesn't go away from the desktop and /media | 20:23 |
| alienseer23-eee | hello, i have an wmp54g wireless linksys installed under a fresh install of hardy, it can see all networks, but will not connect to my 64 hex encrypted network...help? | 20:23 |
| ubuntu | ok this is my cross http://paste.ubuntu.com/29379/ | 20:23 |
| zz | soundray~ nope, I am thinking baout pulling out my harddrive and controller card to see if it fixes it | 20:23 |
| bastid_raZor | if i add a drive to my fstab can i test to see it i did it right by unmounting said drive and then sudo mount -a ? | 20:23 |
| hailu | mgreen, so now i have disk, disk-1 -> disk-7 | 20:23 |
| FibonacciGold | Chad: So all good then ? | 20:23 |
| ubuntu | please check it out | 20:23 |
| mohan34u | lunaris: tell some details about your SATA hard disk.. | 20:24 |
| soundray | ubuntu: and what's the problem? | 20:24 |
| hailu | it's my backup drive, i just installed a clean 8.04 | 20:24 |
| phaverkamp | @chrisrw Virtual machien | 20:24 |
| hailu | so i'm copying over tons of stuff | 20:24 |
| ubuntu | fstab you know, partitios configuration | 20:24 |
| mgreen | hailu: yes, but i want you to check what the result is when you unmount it with the console | 20:24 |
| Chad | FibonacciGold: no because every time i install the recommended card i get black screened, thats what caused it in the first place | 20:24 |
| lunaris | 250GB I think ti's Seagate mohan34u | 20:24 |
| lunaris | its* | 20:24 |
| soundray | ubuntu: your fstab looks okay. Tell me what problem you are experiencing | 20:24 |
| mgreen | hailu: it's possible this is a bug, and we need to make sure | 20:24 |
| NinjaElf | soundray I don't think it will work. my files have .png on the end of each one. I tried the first code that you provided me and it says. "invalid floating point argument: 13635.png" | 20:24 |
| mohan34u | lunaris: how you are saying its not recognized? | 20:25 |
| hailu | okay, sec, i understand, i'll plug it in now and umount it via the console mgreen | 20:25 |
| ubuntu | I edited it, and I think thas why ubuntu doesn't boot | 20:25 |
| FibonacciGold | Chad: Ok, sorry I miss understood. Have you tried the restricted driver installer that ships with ubuntu ? | 20:25 |
| lunaris | I cannot see it it media mohan34u | 20:25 |
| zz | soundray: thinking about disabling all nonesential onboards like LAN and secondary IDE and FDD | 20:25 |
| soundray | NinjaElf: you or I must have missed a quote | 20:25 |
| lunaris | I had that problem with Linux Mint Elyssa | 20:25 |
| lunaris | but I typed sudo commands that I typed on Elyssa | 20:25 |
| mohan34u | lunaris: is it bootable? what kind of disk..? USB? | 20:25 |
| phaverkamp | @chriswr Virtual machien | 20:25 |
| soundray | zz: noapic and nolapic might help as well | 20:25 |
| soundray | !bootoptions > zz | 20:25 |
| ubottu | zz, please see my private message | 20:25 |
| lunaris | mohan34u :internal...was storage on win | 20:26 |
| hailu | mgreen fyi, the ext. drive has 2 partitioned, so just now disk-6 and disk-8 popped up when i plugged the drive in | 20:26 |
| Atomicsunset | what do i do with the ndiswrapper files once i extract them? | 20:26 |
| zz | Thankyou oh so much mighty ubottu | 20:26 |
| * phaverkamp goes AFK | 20:26 | |
| mgreen | hailu: the plot thickens... | 20:26 |
| zz | soundray~ thx, will try that stuff first | 20:26 |
| Chad | FibonacciGold: no I only used the proprietary one | 20:26 |
| chriswr | phaverkamp: yeah , i have a backtrack iso mounted | 20:26 |
| chriswr | on it | 20:26 |
| chimp | Is there a way to convert a wubi installation to a full installation easily? | 20:26 |
| TaoTeShau1 | when doing updates i get some errors | 20:26 |
| hailu | mgreen, i did sudo umount /media/disk-6, no errors, it's gone successfully | 20:26 |
| mohan34u | llunaris: how many disks you have internally? if more than one check whether /dev have sda1, sda2... etc.. | 20:27 |
| FibonacciGold | Atomicsunset: You can use the package manager to get ndiswrapper, then you don't have to compile it yourself. | 20:27 |
| NinjaElf | soundray I'm not sure what you mean? I tried putting the file names in double quotes. though still get the same error | 20:27 |
| mgreen | hailu: great. what about the icon? | 20:27 |
| ubuntu | check this out http://paste.ubuntu.com/29379/ , ain't advertisement :P | 20:27 |
| lunaris | mohan34u : I have two hdd | 20:27 |
| Atomicsunset | i cant connect to the internet tho fibonaccigold | 20:27 |
| hailu | mgreen, gone as well | 20:27 |
| mgreen | nice | 20:27 |
| mohan34u | lunaris: then type ls /dev/sd*, how many you got? | 20:27 |
| FibonacciGold | Atomicsunset: Are you able to connect a hard wire whilst doing the installations ? | 20:28 |
| mgreen | hailu: unmount the other partition | 20:28 |
| Atomicsunset | i dont have a hard wire | 20:28 |
| chriswr | phaverkamp: nvm i got it , had to go to settings and click on mount immage and use the one on desktop | 20:28 |
| hailu | mgreen same with 8 | 20:28 |
| chriswr | lol | 20:28 |
| Atomicsunset | i wish i did this would be much simpler :P | 20:28 |
| soundray | NinjaElf: I'll post the first part again on a line by itself. Both double quote marks are essential: | 20:28 |
| soundray | for i in $(seq 2000 3000) ; do filenames="$filenames $i.png" ; done | 20:28 |
| Atomicsunset | i have 3 hotspots | 20:28 |
| hailu | so, what's with the other 6 icons sitting in my filesystem... :/ | 20:28 |
| Skyrail | Is there a where to reset all of gnomes settings/configs because I've still got a load of settings in my home folder left over from a Fedora install which has kind of messed up my Ubuntu install a little | 20:28 |
| mgreen | hailu: ok, now do it all again, but do it with right click context menu | 20:28 |
| Atomicsunset | ubuntu can only see 2 | 20:28 |
| lunaris | mohan34u : /dev/sda /dev/sda1 /dev/sda2 /dev/sda3 /dev/sdb /dev/sdb1 | 20:28 |
| hailu | ok mgreen | 20:28 |
| Atomicsunset | the third is the one i connect to | 20:28 |
| FibonacciGold | Atomicsunset: Ok, well if you have the source for ndiswrapper that will do. extract the tar and then cd into the folder, you know how to do that ? | 20:28 |
| ubuntu | ehhh?? wait a minute | 20:28 |
| Atomicsunset | not yet | 20:29 |
| piyush | hi | 20:29 |
| Atomicsunset | im trying to convert myself to ubuntu but i havent used linux in years | 20:29 |
| FibonacciGold | Atomicsunset: Ok, here goes: | 20:29 |
| mohan34u | lunaris: no driver problem.. what exactly system saying when you access that disk? | 20:29 |
| ubuntu | there are four partitions there | 20:29 |
| Atomicsunset | lol appreciate your help | 20:29 |
| TaoTeShau1 | anyone know how i would kill a process... like the [update manager] without using the system monitor? | 20:29 |
| FibonacciGold | Atomicsunset: tar xzvf ndiswrapper-tar-file-name | 20:29 |
| ubuntu | I tried many combinations of 0s and 1s | 20:29 |
| FibonacciGold | Atomicsunset: Where you substitute ndiswrapper-file-name with whatever tar you have downloaded. | 20:30 |
| lunaris | mohan34u : it's ntfs partition.I was using WinXP | 20:30 |
| ubuntu | I suspecting it couldn't be the problem | 20:30 |
| ]Spectre[ | hi,I have an issue with the wireless. I have upgraded ubuntu to the lastest kernel (Ubuntu 8.04.1, kernel 2.6.24-19-generic) and now ubuntu tell me that there is only the cabled network.my wireless board is an atheros 802.11 card.When I start with the oldest kernel 2.6.24-16 the wireless board works ok.can you council me ? thanks | 20:30 |
| soundray | NinjaElf: after that, the shell variable $filenames contains all the filenames. Do an 'echo $filenames' -- the beginning should look like this: 2000.png 2001.png 2002.png 2003.png... | 20:30 |
| Atomicsunset | ok im familiar with the untarring | 20:30 |
| Atomicsunset | spectre your in my boat with me :P | 20:30 |
| mohan34u | lunaris: no.. is the problem arise in ubuntu or xp? | 20:30 |
| hailu | mgreen, that worked as well, there was no disk-6/8 this time, only 132.8 GB Media and 27.3 GB Media | 20:30 |
| FibonacciGold | Atomicsunset: Cool, then cd into the new directory that is created and type: sudo ./configure | 20:30 |
| mgreen | TaoTeShau: killall processname (if you have multiple) | 20:30 |
| lunaris | in ubuntu | 20:31 |
| Atomicsunset | ok is that it? | 20:31 |
| lunaris | monah34u : in ubuntu | 20:31 |
| FibonacciGold | Atomicsunset: No, then you need to issue to more commands: sudo make and then sudo make install | 20:31 |
| zz | soundray~ ok forget this, going to double check i don't need anything then do an alt install | 20:31 |
| ]Spectre[ | Atomicsunset :) | 20:31 |
| hailu | ok, so now it's working ok, but i wonder how i can get rid of the other icons lurking | 20:31 |
| NinjaElf | soundray aaah it works. cool! | 20:31 |
| mgreen | hailu: so it's not reproducible? | 20:31 |
| mohan34u | lunaris: so its a dual booting system. there is no driver problem in ubuntu.. | 20:31 |
| hailu | mgreen aparently not | 20:31 |
| ubuntu | Anyone knows how to return to some previous global configuration? | 20:31 |
| mohan34u | lunaris: what exactly ubuntu saying when you access the drive? | 20:31 |
| zz | dpkg-reconfigure -phigh ? | 20:32 |
| soundray | NinjaElf: so now you can copy all those files to the destination directory with 'cp $filenames /path/to/destination/' | 20:32 |
| EvilDennisR | ubuntu: Are you still talking about your fstab ? | 20:32 |
| dangyogi | /msg ubottu etiquette | 20:32 |
| ubuntu | yes sir ! | 20:32 |
| mgreen | hailu: those problems are the worst... if you encounter it again, please note what was different. | 20:32 |
| EvilDennisR | ubuntu: Did you pastebin it like I asked ? | 20:32 |
| ubuntu | is my principal hobbie by now | 20:32 |
| NinjaElf | Soundray your going in the credits of the LUG video. :) | 20:32 |
| lunaris | mohan34u : that hdd is not bootable.no system on it. Xubuntu is not displaying me any problem...I just cannot see it when I go to media | 20:32 |
| ubuntu | this is the link http://paste.ubuntu.com/29379/ | 20:32 |
| hailu | mgreen ok, can you think of anything else i can do to get these ghost images out of /media? | 20:32 |
| soundray | NinjaElf: :) which LUG? | 20:33 |
| herr | !es | 20:33 |
| ubottu | En la mayoría de canales Ubuntu se comunica en inglés. Para ayuda en Español, por favor entre en los canales #ubuntu-es o #kubuntu-es. | 20:33 |
| mgreen | hailu: if they're not mounted, you could simply delete them | 20:33 |
| EvilDennisR | ubuntu: So what happens when you try and boot ? | 20:33 |
| mohan34u | lunaris: do you have any files on that disk? are you able to view that files on xp? | 20:33 |
| mgreen | hailu: since there's nothing "under" that directory, you can simply purge it | 20:33 |
| lunaris | mohan34u : I have about 75% used space there...All my documents are there | 20:34 |
| dangyogi | is this the place to get help with a bug in ubuntu (update manager)? | 20:34 |
| dmacnutt | EvilDennisR: pastebin is for lusers | 20:34 |
| NinjaElf | soundray Peterborough LUG. plugintolinux.ca . Its a new idea, I've started recording our meetings, so we can revisit anything we missed. | 20:34 |
| EvilDennisR | dmacnutt: haha | 20:34 |
| ubuntu | yep I was going to enter to argentina channel but there were 5 guys talking about life, so I bet for possibilities | 20:34 |
| mgreen | dangyogi: we will help you determine if it's a bug - if we're lucky :) | 20:34 |
| hailu | mgreen, this happened: | 20:34 |
| hailu | sudo rm -rf /media/disk* | 20:34 |
| hailu | rm: cannot remove directory `/media/disk': Device or resource busy | 20:34 |
| mohan34u | is that disk mounted.. what 'mount' command saying? | 20:34 |
| dangyogi | update manager hangs. Looks like it's in sudo. ubuntu 8.10 -- it's still hung now | 20:35 |
| soundray | NinjaElf: cool :) good luck. Logging off, see you later. | 20:35 |
| EvilDennisR | dmacnutt: tv night at my place tonight.. Gonna watch harold and kumar 2 | 20:35 |
| dmacnutt | ot! EvilDennisR | 20:35 |
| bysse | dangyogi: have you tried apt-get? | 20:35 |
| EvilDennisR | ubuntu: So what happens when you boot.. | 20:35 |

| linuxviewer | I recently swapped a hard drive running the latest version of Ubuntu server to another computer (different MAC address for onboard NIC). Where do I change the MAC address within Ubuntu server so that the two ports will work again? | 20:36 |
| lunaris | it is mounted | 20:36 |
| mgreen | hailu: you can check what process is locking it with 'fuser' | 20:36 |
| lunaris | brb | 20:36 |
| dangyogi | bysse: no | 20:36 |
| hailu | mgreen ah ok, new day, new command | 20:36 |
| ubuntu | ok, it boots normally for a while, til in the end appears a message about X server configuration problem | 20:36 |
| esculayd4724 | Ok, after I am done downloading the .iso for the Desktop version I am going to burn it to a CD. So.. how will my drivers get there like for my wireless internet ? | 20:37 |
| bysse | dangyogi: try updating update-manager with apt-get (sudo apt-get install update-manager) | 20:37 |
| ubuntu | offers me an option to fix it but it can't | 20:37 |
| mgreen | hailu: yeah, we all wish umount would just say what app it is, wouldn't we...? | 20:37 |
| hailu | heh | 20:37 |
| mohan34u | lunaris: unmount it, and remount.. I hope that may work.. | 20:37 |
| EvilDennisR | ubuntu: Eh? Walk me through what happens when you turn on your computer from the off state | 20:38 |

| amews_aj | ye, but how (sorry, linux newb here) | 20:39 |

| FibonacciGold | XJman: Start out by downloading deb packages or source for ndiswrapper and then you need to download the specific driver from your manufacturer. | 20:46 |
| ]Spectre[ | how can I check if a driver is loaded and running under ubuntu ? I need to check if the driver for a wireless card ( AR242x 802.11abg Wireless PCI Express Adapter (rev 01)) is installed and working,can you help me ? thanks | 20:47 |
| mgreen | onthefence928: yes, what i meant was that you can check out the compatibility before you consider crossover | 20:47 |
| mgreen | onthefence928: i think you will see that most applications are available as free software | 20:47 |

| XJman | FibonacciGold: It always gives me an error 2 and a whole army of warnings and errors no matter what I run form there | 20:52 |
| ActionParsnip | mgreen: i have no idea what that means. Just try them all see what you like, if all else fails have a small windows boot | 20:53 |
| ubuntu | Thanks I'll learn to chroot | 20:53 |
| sysdoc | grindhold: In FF tools>Addons | 20:53 |
| Sudowman | ubuntu I dont think that post from ubottu is what you need | 20:53 |

| ubuntu | I'm about to reinstall it all | 20:54 |
| hwilde | is there a command line serial port terminal proggram? like gtkterm but command line? | 20:54 |
| grindhold | FibonacciGold: the command didn't remove or install any packages | 20:54 |
| ubuntu | listen, how may I return to some configuration | 20:54 |
| wlievens | I'm running dapper, and it turns out that for most software I need there aren't any packages for recent versions | 20:54 |
| ubuntu | previously made, I didn't make bachups | 20:54 |
| kosh | Spectre: try not to change anything, just take a look. Then tell me if you could find it | 20:54 |
| grindhold | FibonacciGold: more funny is that i am able to use firefox and apt doesnt remark it as installed | 20:54 |
| wlievens | so I'm considering upgrading - if possible | 20:55 |
| Sudowman | ubuntu so you want to back up you're configuration, then reinstall ubuntu | 20:55 |
| wlievens | but this is a vps so I'm not sure I can even do that | 20:55 |
| grindhold | sysdoc: i tried this but i cant remove stuff there | 20:55 |

| XJman | FibonacciGold: Its a desktop, and its installed into a desk, it can't move from its position to an internet connection. Lets say for instance I run sudo /configure after cd into the directory I'll get 150 lines of errors | 20:56 |
| ubuntu | I said, I'm about to reinstall ubuntu, because I don't get a solution | 20:56 |
| FibonacciGold | grindhold: Well, unless you can uninstall it from there, I'm stumped. You could possible disable it in the preferences or info:plugins | 20:57 |

| ubuntu | look, I started installing programs, from tar files, you know compiling all that stuff | 20:59 |
| ubuntu | because I wanted to install brasero, and it asked me to install another thing all the time to continue compiling | 20:59 |
| fowarek | Is there an alternative that I might be able to do it using windows? | 21:00 |
| mgreen | ubuntu: yes, dependencies can be daunting | 21:00 |
| ubuntu | ahh now you see | 21:00 |
| mgreen | but it's in the repositories? | 21:00 |
| mgreen | what's the issue at the moment?= | 21:00 |
| amenado | wlievens-> in your existing system, did you happen to have a separate /home partition? | 21:00 |

| Jooboo | hey, i have 6.06, how do i upgrade to 8.04 with CD? | 21:01 |
| ubuntu | no, it starts to boot , but doesn't finish | 21:01 |

| Jooboo | amenado, a fresh install doesnt work out so well, is there anyway to upgrad with CD? | 21:02 |
| mgreen | well, if this doesn't get resolved, remember to always make a backup copy of the configuration files you change | 21:02 |

| amenado | Jooboo-> you dont have to use the liveCD to do a fresh install if you have an existing linux system, you can use debootstrap | 21:04 |
| EvilDennisR | ubuntu: So you just need to reconfigure your xserver it sounds like? | 21:04 |
| TaoTeShau1 | sigh | 21:04 |
| ubuntu | aha | 21:04 |
| mgreen | ubuntu: yes, if you reinstall, how much do you have to install again to be where you want to be? | 21:04 |
| Jooboo | amenado, explain | 21:04 |
| ubuntu | how | 21:04 |
| ubuntu | exactly ! | 21:04 |
| ubuntu | it's a big deal | 21:04 |
| mgreen | ubuntu: how long have you had this installation? | 21:04 |
| EvilDennisR | ubuntu: Your machine boots up, and tries to start X, it can't, then it gives you that blue box screen that says it can't start X, right ? | 21:04 |
| ubuntu | one month approx | 21:05 |
| EvilDennisR | ubuntu: Or does it take you to the xserver config low-resolution thing | 21:05 |
| Jooboo | amenado, what is debootstrap? | 21:05 |
| ubuntu | I put to install everything | 21:05 |
| amenado | Jooboo-> create a separate ext3 partitions (two) one for new linux and /home ..then use debootstrap to install the basics sytem | 21:05 |
| mgreen | ubuntu: ok, so backup your home directory and reinstall? i wouldn't normally recommend it, but you seem to be on the verge to do it... ;) | 21:05 |

| === pierre_ is now known as hurty | ||
| amenado | Jooboo-> its the official ubuntu installer..you can install it via sudo apt-get install debootstrap | 21:05 |

| ubuntu | so in home is my configuration? | 21:06 |
| mgreen | ubuntu: yes, all your firefox bookmarks, chatlogs and other configuration is in your home directory | 21:06 |

| Sudowman | ubuntu: do you know of any changes you made to x before it stopped working ? | 21:07 |

| BananusM_ | then maybe a console based app with eq ? | 21:09 |
| FibonacciGold | djcraigey: How long is a piece of string.... | 21:09 |
| djcraigey | 42? | 21:09 |

| dmacnutt | BananusM_: for example, I have a media player with an equalizer | 21:09 |
| Juul | djcraigey, on a scale from 1 to parasol: dry | 21:09 |
| djcraigey | string sizes vary :) | 21:09 |
| quaal | cottima, because it is shit | 21:09 |
| EvilDennisR | ubuntu: Your machine boots up, and tries to start X, it can't, then it gives you that blue box screen that says it can't start X, right ? | 21:09 |
| FibonacciGold | djcraigey: So does stability... depends on what you do with it really. | 21:09 |
| EvilDennisR | ubuntu: Or does it take you to the xserver config low-resolution thing | 21:10 |
| LordMetroid | 1379 people and no one uses any unofficial repositories for older version | 21:10 |
| cottima | does not smell like it | 21:10 |
| djcraigey | true :) was speaking in general in comparisson to vista for example. | 21:10 |
| cottima | quaal that does not tell me why I should disable it. | 21:10 |
| TaoTeShau1 | djcraigey: i say its stable for a week... b/c i cant do anything right now and have no clue why it stopped working correctly | 21:10 |
| BananusM_ | dmacnutt: does that media player has a name ? | 21:10 |
| goldins | what are the advantages of nfs4 over nfs3? | 21:10 |
| dmacnutt | BananusM_: it would, but I was using an example | 21:11 |
| === wobblyw1 is now known as wobblywu | ||
| dmacnutt | goldins: nfs4 is newer | 21:11 |
| EvilDennisR | ubuntu: Good idea, blow away your system and reinstall when you could of simply fixed your issue with a few commands.. | 21:11 |

| quaal | cottima how bout because it wont work in lounix? | 21:12 |
| djcraigey | ah right, but you'd say its worth a try ? | 21:12 |
| ubuntu | if you could explain it in english or spanish I'd understand it | 21:12 |

| hiptobecubic | man i give up on this flash encoding nonsense | 21:13 |
| mgreen | ubuntu: there is no magic fix for your problem, since no one here actually knows what you did. if you want to _fix_ your installation and not nuke it, you have to provide some information ;) | 21:14 |

| WatchDragon | i want to mess with beryl too, but i donno if the gutsy release will run on hardy | 21:53 |
| th0r | SeveredCross, I kind of lost interest in it when I looked at what had to be installed to get it running. I used to run it as it was one of the quickest around, but now xfce gives me just about the same thing | 21:53 |
| th0r | mgreen, no...I don't like loading down my cpu with overhead | 21:53 |
| mgreen | !apt-get | Mirto | 21:54 |
| ubottu | Mirto: APT is the Advanced Package Tool, which together with dpkg forms the basic Ubuntu package management toolkit. Short apt-get manual: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/AptGetHowto - Also see !Synaptic (Gnome) or !Adept (KDE) | 21:54 |
| === tolecnal_ is now known as tolecnal | ||
| SeveredCross | th0r: Yeah, there's a whole big mess that is necessary to install it. | 21:54 |
| SeveredCross | It does look nice though, even on low-powered machines. | 21:54 |
| Chad | What do i do? how do I disable the graphics driver, at the state it's in i cannot even run ubuntu! | 21:54 |
| bysse | mgreen: yeah synaptic was the thing i was looking for | 21:54 |
| Mirto | bysse: thx guys | 21:54 |
| ZEU | what is this core.21572 core.22578 core.23264 | 21:54 |
| th0r | SeveredCross, agreed...there isn't anything prettier than a proper E install | 21:54 |
| open_sauce | Chad, is your normal hard drive mounted? can you see an icon for it on the desktop? | 21:54 |
| Chad | open_sauce: no | 21:54 |
| bysse | !Synaptic | Mirto | 21:54 |
| ubottu | Mirto: synaptic is Ubuntu's Graphical Package Manager. For a good howto see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/SynapticHowto | 21:54 |
| mgreen | th0r: i'm not one to judge, normally, but nowadays cpu load is the least to worry about | 21:54 |
| th0r | mgreen, well...to each his own | 21:55 |
| bysse | Mirto: np | 21:55 |
| hiptobecubic | mgreen, so i'm discovering that the problem with accents in flash has to do with xkb i think. Do you use a keyboard layout that allows you to input accents using keycombinatinos? | 21:55 |
| mgreen | th0r: indeed. i've been on fluxbox for a couple of years | 21:55 |
| Chad | open_sauce: I have no idea what i should do. | 21:55 |
| mrcollins | mgreen: fluxbox? | 21:55 |
| mgreen | hiptobecubic: nice work! i'll look into it | 21:56 |
| mgreen | mrcollins: yes, check it out if you're low on resources | 21:56 |
| th0r | mgreen, I need to try some of those...fluxbox, blackbox, ice...got into E when it was the hottest thing around, and moved to xfce when they left E16 to work on E17...and haven't looked at the others | 21:56 |
| mgreen | mrcollins: though, xfce is recommended | 21:56 |
| open_sauce | chad, can you launch a terminal window? are you familar with the terminal? | 21:56 |
| Mirto | ubottu: the thing is that i can read those, but I cant understand much - beginnings are always hard | 21:56 |
| hiptobecubic | mgreen, if you just paste in accents that have already been typed, they show up correctly (on my box anyway). so the issue must be something with how flash is reading keystrokes? or how x is reading them? | 21:57 |
| unop | jeffwheeler, you need to open up named pipes on the FIFO to be able to read/write from it. | 21:57 |
| Chad | open_sauce: yeah i'm familiar with it, and yes i can launch it | 21:57 |
| jeffwheeler | unop: yep, thanks; I had nothing reading from it (#bash knew) | 21:57 |
| vincenz1 | no help for nm icon disappeared? | 21:57 |
| mgreen | th0r: yes, xfce is nice, indeed, but i've found that i'm missing out on the latest advancements of ubuntu when using xfce | 21:57 |
| Sudowman | Mirto: ubottu is a robot. You did know that didn't you? | 21:57 |
| maddog | hi guys hw do i get my bottom task bar back i got rid of it thinking i could get it back .now i cant see things on minimize | 21:57 |
| mgreen | !botsnack | Mirto | 21:58 |
| ubottu | Mirto: Yum! Err, I mean, APT! | 21:58 |
| maddog | any help would be nice | 21:58 |
| open_sauce | chad: ok, launch terminal and type df -h to list mounted drives and see if you can spot your main drive mounted, looking at size column might help you identify it | 21:58 |
| th0r | mgreen, agreed...but I hate to throw in all those support libs for gnome. I usually keep up with what is on sourceforge and freshmeat and am not above compiling my own | 21:58 |
| unop | jeffwheeler, here's something that could help too. http://www.linuxquestions.org/questions/programming-9/bash-inputoutput-redirect-problem-515156/ | 21:58 |
| Folk_Theory | maddog: | 21:58 |
| Folk_Theory | click on the top one | 21:58 |
| Folk_Theory | *right click it | 21:58 |
| Folk_Theory | and select new pane; | 21:59 |
| Folk_Theory | *panel | 21:59 |
| Chad | open_sauce: they are all under 500M | 21:59 |
| bysse | Mirto: Did you manage to get synaptic up and running? | 21:59 |
| mgreen | th0r: yes, but those support libs don't actually bog your cpu 'til you actually use them... but you're a developer, i guess, so you already knew that ;) | 21:59 |
| th0r | mgreen, right. (not a developer...just an old hand <smile>) | 21:59 |
| BOZG | Are there any good programmes for Ubuntu for creating PDFs? | 21:59 |
| maddog | i done that but i cant see my windows minamized | 22:00 |
| Folk_Theory | BOZG: try open office writer | 22:00 |
| jeffwheeler | BOZG: from what? | 22:00 |
| th0r | BOZG, openoffice | 22:00 |
| Chad | open_sauce: oh hey I mounted it by going to places, I mounted the drive with ubuntu installed on it | 22:00 |
| mgreen | hiptobecubic: well, that's what's so vexing... i guess a bug report would be in place | 22:00 |
| open_sauce | chad: nice! | 22:00 |
| Mirto | bysse: too much noice for me, I will find my way though. | 22:00 |
| hiptobecubic | mgreen, i'm not sure how to do that. i was going to make a forum post and see if anyone has had/fixed this issue | 22:00 |
| NiMa91 | (woah, 1358 users) hi there, I just switched from an ACPI motherboard to a weird non-ACPI motherboard and now, not only will GRUB not even load, but trying to use a ubuntu 7.10 disc in it with acpi=off caused it to spout some sort of APIC time error and freeze | 22:00 |
| Mirto | bysse: thanx for help anyway | 22:01 |
| open_sauce | chad: try to df -h again and see if you can see it listed | 22:01 |
| NiMa91 | I take it changing motherboard was a _bad_ idea | 22:01 |
| maddog | is there anyone nice enough to use my remote desk top and sort my system out ? | 22:01 |
| Abed | i have a question ... i am using mgg321 and oggenc for converting MP3s and OGGs but wut in need a .sh file so that it will do a specific operation to get each file in a folder and process it so any one?? | 22:01 |
| Chad | open_sauce: another guy earlier was trying to help me set up my graphics and we could not do it every time i used the driver from the driver window it made it go black screened at login | 22:01 |
| mgreen | hiptobecubic: yes, after searching, that's great if you would :) | 22:01 |
| bysse | Mirto: ok good luck | 22:01 |
| Chad | open_sauce: yeah its mounted now | 22:01 |
| mgreen | hiptobecubic: unfortunately, i don't think adobe is included in upstream :( | 22:01 |
| itrebal | when upgrading to 8.04, might localedef take a /very/ long time to run? | 22:02 |
| zerogate | after enabling my nvidia glx drivers my ubuntu hardy launches in low graphics mode - anybody? | 22:02 |
| NiMa91 | GRUB just shows a blinking cursor at the top-left, then prints "GRUB" and does nothing | 22:02 |
| hiptobecubic | mgreen, i've been searching for days. should it just be in general help or what? what do you mean by not included in upstream? | 22:02 |
| mgreen | itrebal: this seems to be a common problem | 22:02 |
| open_sauce | chad: ok the last column shown by df -h is where it is mounted, can you CD to that directory? | 22:02 |
| itrebal | mgreen: any suggested solution? | 22:02 |
| maddog | waiting for help | 22:02 |
| bysse | Abed: you just want to loop through all files in a directory and executing a command for each file right? | 22:02 |
| Chad | open_sauce: btw i have a ATI radeon x1650 pro agp 512 mb card | 22:02 |
| mgreen | itrebal: not that i know of, unfortunately :( | 22:02 |
| Folk_Theory | maddog: click on top panel and select new panel | 22:02 |
| Folk_Theory | right click it i mean | 22:02 |
| unop | Abed, for file in *.mp3; do convert_command "$file" "${file//.mp3/.ogg}"; done | 22:02 |
| itrebal | mgreen: is this a recoverable issue? | 22:02 |
| isleshocky78 | Has anyone have a tutorial for compiling MySQL workbench on Ubuntu or know of a built package? | 22:03 |
| Abed | bysee, yeah | 22:03 |
| Chad | open_sauce: k i opened up the drive directory | 22:03 |
| bysse | Abed: http://tldp.org/HOWTO/Bash-Prog-Intro-HOWTO-7.html#ss7.1 | 22:03 |
| open_sauce | chad: Im probably not gonna be able to get your graphics card set up correctly, but hopefully can at least get it to boot again | 22:03 |
| mgreen | hiptobecubic: upstream is just what it sounds like. application developer > distribution (ubuntu) > user | 22:03 |
| maddog | folk i did that mate its just not showing minamized windows anymore :( | 22:03 |
| Abed | bysse , unop, thnx | 22:03 |
| open_sauce | chad: ok, can you see a directory in there called etc? | 22:03 |
| Chad | open_sauce: yeah | 22:04 |
| itrebal | mgreen: if i were to kill localedef, would it survive? | 22:04 |
| bysse | Abed: np, ask if you have more troubles | 22:04 |
| mgreen | itrebal: i don't know of a workaround or fix, sorry | 22:04 |
| itrebal | ok, thanks | 22:04 |
| Abed | bysse, indeed i have a trouble with my bluetooth can u help me or no? | 22:04 |
| open_sauce | chad: cd into etc/X11 | 22:04 |
| mgreen | itrebal: any successes you have in this issue, please let us know. there have been at least three people today reporting the same issue | 22:04 |
| vincenz1 | mrgreen can you help me? | 22:04 |
| NiMa91 | also, on a more relevant-to-current-flow-of-questions note, every time I update X, it installs the main ubuntu version of nvidia-glx-new, but not the kernel module, and I'm using nvidia's own package for both, so it ends up breaking my X setup every time it updates | 22:04 |
| Chad | open_sauce: k i did | 22:04 |
| bysse | Abed: don't think i can, haven't had bluetooth for a while. But whats the problem? | 22:04 |
| open_sauce | chad: then do ls -l to list files, Im hoping alongside an xorg.conf that a backup had been made like xorg.conf.somethingelsehere | 22:05 |
| Abed | bysse, i can't enable the bluetooth radio | 22:05 |
| mgreen | vincenz1: do you have the icon back if you reboot your system? | 22:05 |
| NiMa91 | what would be the best way to either get it to use the ubuntu kernel module or the nvidia X driver? | 22:05 |
| Abed | bysse, at all | 22:05 |
| Thoku | HI all | 22:05 |
| itrebal | mgreen: my system isn't going to be bricked though, right? it'll be repairable? | 22:05 |
| open_sauce | chad: thats a letter l not a number 1 (sorry not sure what level you are at so being careful) | 22:05 |
| mgreen | vincenz1: i don't actually know what's supposed to happen when you press the hardware button for you wifi card to deactivate it | 22:05 |
| vincenz1 | mr green I tried . no! | 22:05 |
| bysse | Abed: sorry never done that, don't even have bluetooth atm | 22:06 |
| LocutusOfBorg | hello | 22:06 |
| Thoku | I'm looking for a script that can sort music files into a Rhythmbox type structure. It needs to be headless | 22:06 |
| Chad | open_sauce: i got a file named xorg.conf.bak | 22:06 |
| mgreen | vincenz1: so, you've had it working, pressed the button, and you can no longer use your wifi card? | 22:06 |
| Folk_Theory | yo | 22:06 |
| open_sauce | chad: awesome, does the date on it look like around the time you tried to get the drivers working? | 22:07 |
| unop | Thoku, what is the "rhythmbox type structure" ? | 22:07 |

| unop | WatchDragon, xmms is being phased out .. audacious maybe | 22:08 |

| open_sauce | chad: ah thats why, at this point we want to be in your mounted drive folder, and then cd to etc/X11 | 22:13 |
| amrik | hi i installed nvidia drivers using envy and now i cannot enable extra graphical effects under appearance. I don't think XGL is working correctlyt | 22:13 |
| hwilde | Xazzza2, sry.. that wasn't the link I wanted. sudo dpkg-reconfigure xserver-xorg | 22:13 |
| amrik | glxgears also does not work | 22:13 |
| _Brun0_ | how can I know the progress of a running backup in sbackup? | 22:14 |
| inik | Xazzza2: if you remove old one, new file will created after restart | 22:14 |
| Folk_Theory | maddog: download a program called something like compizconfig-manager | 22:14 |
| Xazzza2 | Thanks mate | 22:14 |
| WatchDragon | ha, i needed a codec, dumb me, and my fist song that plays is AC/AD - big balls, lol | 22:14 |
| open_sauce | :chad under df -h, the last column tells you where your main drive is mounted, can you cd to it in the terminal? | 22:14 |
| maddog | i got it | 22:14 |
| Folk_Theory | using add/remove programs utilitiy | 22:14 |
| Chad | open_sauce: i have my x11 foler open right now | 22:14 |
| itrebal | is there a Recommended Way of enabling/disabling locales? | 22:14 |
| Folk_Theory | right | 22:14 |
| Chad | open_sauce: how do i cd it? | 22:14 |
| Folk_Theory | play with it and experiment, and youll see the differences | 22:14 |
| maddog | im just to thick to understand how to use it .i tick the boxes but dont see any diferance :) | 22:14 |
| generato1 | Sudowman.....am i going about this the worong way? | 22:14 |
| open_sauce | chad: are you looking at X11 as a folder on the desktop or in the terminal? | 22:15 |
| Folk_Theory | also the official compiz website has really good explanations of what every effect does | 22:15 |
| Chad | open_sauce: desktop | 22:15 |
| amrik | can someone help me with getting nvidia drivers working on 2.6.24-19 kernel? | 22:15 |
| Folk_Theory | some options' names are very non-descriptive but the website describes them much better | 22:15 |
| mgreen | maddog: some of the effects you have to manually activate | 22:15 |
| mgreen | maddog: it usually says which key combination to use | 22:16 |
| bysse | maddog: look at the configuration application folk gave you. You can define shortcuts there | 22:16 |
| maddog | so do you have to press the short cut keys to use the effects ? | 22:16 |
| mgreen | !nvidia | amrik | 22:16 |
| ubottu | amrik: For Ati/NVidia/Matrox video cards, see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/BinaryDriverHowto | 22:16 |
| Thoku | amrik: As far I know there isn't a problem with them. | 22:16 |
| bysse | amrik: shouldn't be a problem, i'm using nv drivers on that kernel | 22:16 |
| Folk_Theory | maddog: yes but i always change which keys to use to more convinient ones | 22:16 |
| open_sauce | chad: we need to do this in the terminal as we need root access to backup / restore the xorg.conf file so, when you type df -h in the terminal can you look at the last column to see where your main drive is mounted? | 22:17 |
| amrik | i think it might be because i am using an 8800 | 22:17 |
| kindofabuzz | why does the supported version of xchat in the repos suck? the non supported on is the best | 22:17 |
| maddog | i see .god im mentaly challanged hehehe | 22:17 |
| esculayd4724 | hello. | 22:17 |
| amrik | mgreen: ubuntu does not recognize the card; there is no option to use the restricted driver | 22:17 |
| Folk_Theory | only for some. obviously like writing in fire requires activation. otherwise every time you move your mouse therell be fire all over.... | 22:17 |
| Chad | open_sauce: /media/disk | 22:17 |
| boobsbr | howdy, is there an app to make screencaps of a video on linux]? like wmp classic does? | 22:17 |

| wlievens | unfortunately I'm a horrible newbie at linux administration | 23:08 |
| skylighter | deathowner: what am i looking for? | 23:08 |
| ndo | guys, ive got a trouble, ive used some commant like " sudo usermod -G vboxusers ndo" and now i cant suor sudo :( | 23:08 |
| chriswr | wlievens: we all were at once | 23:08 |
| BabakM | deathowner: I have Asus AM602 USB ADSL Modem | 23:08 |

| Coggz | how do I use a crossover cable to connect 2 pcs/laptops and share files | 23:09 |
| wlievens | chriswr: yeah, it's just that this "learn from banging your head against the wall" process is bad for headaches | 23:09 |
| Flannel | ndo: the proper syntax is usermod -G vboxusers -a ndo. the -a is important (it appends instead of replacing) | 23:09 |
| BabakM | but it didn't help me | 23:09 |
| __yy_ | ndo: ouch, usermod -G sets the groups to exactly those specified, you need to use -a -G to add to the list of groups a user is in. | 23:09 |
| NiMa91 | I used to change distros every week, like I said before, my favourite distro being MEPIS, until I found ubuntu | 23:09 |
| Flannel | ndo: You'll need to reboot to recovery mode (at GRUB) and add yourself to the admin group again | 23:09 |
| wlievens | thing is I am not at liberty to just change distor because it's a VPS server | 23:09 |

| smith748 | what version of x.org does ubuntu use | 23:11 |
| Blaqlight | screaming and yelling at my computer works well, but throwing it out the window is more satisfying. | 23:12 |
| skylighter | deathowner: it says NVIDIA binary XFree86 4.x/X.Org driver | 23:12 |

| wlievens | I need apache 2.2 for a feature in mod_proxy that I'm missing, but another module doesn't exist as a package for apache2.2 for dapper | 23:12 |
| wlievens | so I'm *trying* now to build those modules myself | 23:12 |
| Flannel | wlievens: Apache 2.2 isn't in dapper. Apache 2 is. | 23:12 |
| Abed | I would like to convert from ogg to mp3 using command line | 23:12 |
| Flannel | wlievens: You should probably consider upgrading to Hardy if you need apache2.2 | 23:12 |
| wlievens | Flannel: I found a backport somewhere, I think | 23:12 |
| chriswr | wlievens: so your just trying to get apache 2.2? | 23:12 |
| marcellopa | thanks bye ! | 23:12 |
| smith748 | does the hd4850 work in hardy heron | 23:12 |
| cottima | sorin-mihai was I suppose to run something after grub? and do you have an idea why (hd1,0) does not work as root in grub? | 23:12 |
| wlievens | Flannel: can you just upgrade the distro on a VPS? | 23:13 |
| Flannel | !info xserver-xorg | smith748 | 23:13 |
| NiMa91 | my forum topic's sliding down the board, and, in the meantime, I'm failing to balance my whiny impatience and off-topicness with helping others | 23:13 |

| Beaver_ | bonjours :) | 23:13 |
| wlievens | chriswr: I have apache 2.2 installed, but it won't start because the mod_dav_svn module is built for the wrong platform | 23:13 |
| BabakM | seems no body wants to help :( | 23:13 |
| Flannel | wlievens: You can upgrade dapper to hardy, yes. | 23:13 |
| NiMa91 | sorry, but I don't know anything about installing USB modems :/ | 23:13 |
| chriswr | wlievens: better off just upgrading like flannel said | 23:13 |
| wlievens | okay | 23:13 |
| wlievens | probably | 23:13 |
| wlievens | but | 23:13 |

| omni | I've disabled gnome-panel and now I can't use the ALT+F2 run dialog | 23:15 |
| Flannel | Guy: All you need is the deb packages. You can make a CD of packages, or just download them manually and sneakernet, or whatever, yes. | 23:15 |
| chriswr | wlievens: probably a good idea | 23:15 |
| chriswr | lol | 23:15 |

| smith748 | ati videocard | 23:16 |
| NiMa91 | Abed: http://www.linuxquestions.org/questions/linux-software-2/convert-ogg-to-mp3-306172/ might help... I'ma look for something more specific though | 23:16 |
| Flannel | Guy: If you have an Ubuntu connection that's connected to the internet, check out AptOnCD. | 23:16 |
| Piniek | hi | 23:16 |
| wlievens | should I heed the not-skipping advice | 23:16 |
| wlievens | i.e. upgrade twice | 23:16 |
| wlievens | from DD to FF to HH | 23:16 |
| Abed | NiMa91, thnx | 23:16 |
| Flannel | wlievens: Dapper to Hardy isn't skipping. | 23:16 |
| chriswr | wlievens: you could just reinstall the whole OS like i did if you dont have anything you need on your comp | 23:17 |
| Guy | APTonCD yeah ive tried it, it skips packages. | 23:17 |

| wlievens | I mean | 23:17 |
| chriswr | wlievens: vps? | 23:17 |
| Flannel | wlievens: If you were going to upgrade piecewise, you need to go Dapper Edgy Feisty Gutsy Hardy. Or you can go LTS to LTS, Dapper to Hardy (scroll down further in the Hardy upgrade notes) | 23:17 |
| wlievens | there's a whole lot of configuration going on beihnd the scene | 23:17 |

| Odd-rationale | Chad: just restart X | 23:36 |

| smith748 | chriswr: yes | 23:39 |
| smith748 | the last thing to check is my video card | 23:40 |

| snarkster | thoku coming from an ipod? | 23:40 |
| cypha | anyone good with broadcom? | 23:40 |

| unop | Thoku, and mv cannot cope with this layout? | 23:40 |
| nibbler_ | hi | 23:41 |
| unop | Thoku, lltag can rename these files in an order you want | 23:41 |
| zerogate | sorin-mihai, where can i see the exact error msg? my ubuntu just launches in low graphics mode after rebooting after enabling the restr. driver | 23:41 |
| Thoku | unop: It can be it doesn't sort the layout and name mangling | 23:41 |
| Chad | Odd-rationale: http://pastebin.com/m3c076eea | 23:41 |

| elad` | I need the man for fork(), shmat(), etc. Help? | 23:41 |

| elad` | (I want to be able to access them offline.) | 23:41 |
| Jack_Sparrow | zerogate nVidia video card and the update killed it? | 23:41 |
| elad` | (They didn't come installed out of the "box".) | 23:41 |

| soundray | elad`: install the manpages-dev package | 23:42 |
| Thoku | unop: Is there a tool for merging the sorted libraries though? | 23:42 |
| elad` | Thanks! | 23:42 |
| elad` | cypha, have you tried plugging it in? | 23:42 |
| nibbler_ | ubuntu totally rocks | 23:43 |
| unop | Thoku, hmm, you could possibly use lltag to place files into your existing heirarchy -- but i am not so sure what happens when files already exist | 23:43 |
| sorin-mihai | zerogate, /var/log/Xorg.*.log or using System > Administration > Logs or something like (i don't have english version here) | 23:43 |
| snarkster | i use amarok to put music on my daughters ipod with cover art. | 23:43 |
| Thoku | I don't really mind if it over writes them. Saves me the hassle | 23:43 |
| Thoku | unop: ^ see above. | 23:43 |
| zerogate | Jack_Sparrow, what do you mean? | 23:43 |
| meoblast001 | can anyone help me get MonoDevelop into Design GTK mode? | 23:44 |
| unop | Thoku, you could use lltag interactively to prompt you .. but that could be a nuisance with a lot of files, you can force it to overwrite files too | 23:44 |
| LordMetroid | So, now my Ubuntu works as it should again, back to old trustworthy 6.10 | 23:44 |
| zerogate | sorin-mihai, very long log file, what must i search for? | 23:44 |
| unop | Thoku, but these files must have the appropriate tags | 23:44 |
| Jack_Sparrow | zerogate Do you have an nVidia video card and did the kernel update kill it? | 23:44 |
| Chad | Odd-rationale: well? | 23:44 |
| Odd-rationale | Chad: hold on... | 23:44 |
| xTheGoat121x | This is really weird. My PulseAudio setup works, for the most part... but there are some things that are just a bit odd. | 23:44 |
| snarkster | m4a files | 23:44 |
| MuzikJunkie | anyone able to help with new video card? Just installed the nvidia 6200 and I cannot start X. I have tried the dpkg-reconfigure command and even tried to run xfix in recover mode...nothing seems to make X want to start. | 23:44 |
| Thoku | unop, They do. However I presume I need to write a shell script to do this | 23:44 |
| zerogate | Jack_Sparrow, i have a nvidia 8600gm and i have problems with 3d drivers since the beginning | 23:45 |
| xTheGoat121x | And I'd like to fix it and get it working. | 23:45 |
| snarkster | rythmbox cant play those | 23:45 |
| snarkster | or can it | 23:45 |
| zerogate | Jack_Sparrow, no kernel update involved | 23:45 |
| Thoku | snarkster: it can | 23:45 |
| andre | hey guys | 23:45 |
| unop | Thoku, no, lltag is already a perl script - all you need to do is figure out the appropriate command line for your needs | 23:46 |
| NiMa91 | still no takers for my problems regarding a non-ACPI tyan thunder 2500 motherboard and both GRUB and my Linux LiveCD not working? | 23:46 |
| soundray | Hello andre | 23:46 |
| Odd-rationale | Chad: do "gksudo gedit /etc/X11/xorg.conf" and make your xorg.conf file look like this: http://pastebin.com/m1388f182 | 23:46 |
| unop | Thoku, the manpage and documentation contain examples | 23:46 |
| Thoku | unop: Ok thanks | 23:46 |

| andre | ? | 23:46 |
| sorin-mihai | zerogate, i'm not sure... and maybe is not beeing logged in this file but in other files that are in /var/log too... | 23:47 |
| unop | andre, use mount | 23:47 |

| Odd-rationale | yes | 23:49 |
| Odd-rationale | andre: yes | 23:49 |
| andre | Odd-rationale: I just want to get all of the updates via command-line that I get hassled about with GUI | 23:49 |
| Kalamarencu | !interrupt | 23:49 |
| ubottu | You can interrupt an upgrade during the download phase. It will resume from where it left off when you run it again later. | 23:49 |
| soundray | andre: or 'sudo apt-get dist-upgrade' which is more resistant to failure ( Odd-rationale?) | 23:49 |

| Chad | Odd-rationale: ok i logged in and out now try the desktop effects? | 23:50 |
| Odd-rationale | Chad: the normal way... | 23:50 |
| Intelli | I am trying to use some Optical Character Recognition software. So far having poor results with gORC, and I don't think I've got tesseract to do anything. Can anyone assist me? | 23:50 |

| bastid_raZor | Kalamarencu; MSI is that part of wine? | 23:51 |
