| bobertdos | Chad: Well, is it the Ubuntu restricted driver you're using? | 00:06 |
| Odd-rationale | legend2440: iirc, the reason you don't have shutdown sounds is that ubuntu now shutsdown too fast before the sounds gets to play... | 00:06 |
| hiptobecubic^ | what's the difference between tee, echo >>, and cat >> ? | 00:06 |
| Chad | bobertdos, no im using the radeon driver | 00:06 |

| Odd-rationale | legend2440: it started since gutsy, i beleive... | 00:06 |
| ndo | Flannel: "usermod -G adm,dialout,cdrom,floppy,audio,dip,video,plugdev,lpadmin,scanner,admin -a ndo" like that? | 00:06 |
| bobertdos | Chad: the binary from ATI? | 00:06 |
| Flannel | hiptobecubic^: or "| tee -a" and "| tee" that is. | 00:06 |
| legend2440 | Odd-rationale: oh ok thanks | 00:06 |
| Flannel | ndo: yes | 00:06 |
| Chad | boertdos: it's the only driver Odd-rationale and I could get to work | 00:06 |
| hiptobecubic^ | Flannel, so nothing? | 00:07 |
| NiMa91 | ok, i'ma try boot on the non-ACPI computer and see where exactly it stalls | 00:07 |
| ndo | Flannel: ok good brb | 00:07 |
| NiMa91 | *where it stalls exactly | 00:07 |
| Chad | bobertdos: how do i do that? | 00:07 |
| Odd-rationale | bobertdos: no. the open source ati drivers... | 00:07 |
| Flannel | hiptobecubic^: Well, "tee" allows you to sudo it | 00:07 |
| Flannel | hiptobecubic^: but other than that, right. nothing. | 00:07 |
| hiptobecubic^ | you can't sudo cat or echo? | 00:07 |
| bobertdos | Odd-rationale: That's what I thought. His card is new enough where the ATI binary may be the only way to go. I don't know if we dare even go there though :p | 00:08 |
| soundray | hiptobecubic^: you can, but the redirection won't be sudo'd (as the calling shell handles it) | 00:08 |

| Jack_Sparrow | MuzikJunkie No, it is just the binary driver for nvidia | 00:18 |
| legend2440 | Chad: so there is no box there at all? or its just not enabled? | 00:18 |
| bobertdos | What just happened with that mass exodous?? | 00:18 |
| hdevalence | !netsplit | 00:18 |
| ubottu | netsplit is when two IRC servers of the same network (like Freenode) disconnect from each other, so users on one server stop seeing users on the other. If this is happening now, just relax and enjoy the show. See http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Netsplit | 00:18 |

| igorw | hey guys, when I make a bridge br0 (10.10.30.1), and add 2 interfaces to the bridge tap0 and eth0 (208.x.x.x), I can not use eth0 to connect to internet anymore.. how could I go around that? | 00:27 |
| legend2440 | Chad: well its up to you but i'm 99.9% sure that if you enable the ATI proprietary drivers you will be able to use compiz with no problem. you can alway uncheck the box and go back to the open source driver. i noticed in your xorg.conf it says Driver "radeon". i'm pretty sure that should say Driver "ati" but the proprietary fglrx drivers are very good in my experience. i have Radeon 9600 card | 00:27 |
| unop | groken, that totally depends on how you want to resolve names that are not fully qualified. if you are looking up a host named foo, do you want it to be resolved to foo.some.domain.address.com or foo.address.com | 00:27 |
| Chad | legend2440: except when i enable them i can't boot ubuntu black screen at login | 00:28 |

| Andorea | <bastid_raZor> yes please :) | 00:38 |
| unop | igorw, remove any ip addresses from eth0 and tap0, create the bridge and set the ip address of br0 to 208.181.56.117 (or if this address is not a static one, try updating it via dhcp) | 00:38 |
| bastid_raZor | Andorea; >> https://help.ubuntu.com/community/CairoDock | 00:38 |
| Jack_Sparrow | MuzikJunkie I will try to help but may need to leave soon | 00:38 |
| Andorea | <bastid_raZor> thanks :*** | 00:38 |
| igorw | unop: i get ya, and then I can have tap0 with local ip, that can use eth0 as gateway to the net | 00:38 |
| unop | igorw, errm, you'll have to give br0 a secondary IP address - a private one | 00:39 |
| MuzikJunkie | Jack_Sparrow: Does it matter if I am logged on as Root@hostname when i run this? | 00:40 |
| unop | igorw, tap0 and eth0 go out of use when part of a bridge, administering them becomes a no-op when they are a part of a bridge | 00:40 |
| Jack_Sparrow | MuzikJunkie nope you will sudo if needed anyhow | 00:40 |

| histo | MuzikJunkie: hrm.... wth. Well alright then i would sudo aptitude purge nvidia-glx | 01:14 |
| tovmeod | how can I check if it has mine? | 01:14 |
| Guest68309 | unop, thanks anyways, I think because the variable $? I use it so many times after that line, when it come back takes the zero value, but I don't know how to reset it, or am I wrong ? | 01:14 |
| histo | MuzikJunkie: get to run level 1 and use the nvidia installer | 01:14 |
| unop | Guest68309, hold on a sec | 01:15 |
| MuzikJunkie | histo: as i was doing earlier you mean? | 01:15 |
| histo | Make sure you have the build-essentials package. | 01:15 |
| histo | MuzikJunkie: yeah nvidia-glx should have worked for you fine. | 01:15 |
| histo | MuzikJunkie: but you can always try the nvidia installer as well. | 01:15 |
| Guest68309 | unop, don't try to execute my script because it requires a lot of files as well | 01:16 |
| tovmeod | are drivers the same for 64 bit or running 32 bit would be better? | 01:16 |
| inocentpc | I encountered a problem with not recognizing the USB flash drives. I installed linux Mint and other flavors of linux that came from ubuntu, and no USB. under XP, the laptop worked well, so it's not a hardware problem, I think. if you have suggestion let's talk in private, please. tnx. | 01:16 |

| itai-michaelson | histo, because it makes the fonts look bad | 01:21 |

| histo | orgthingy: then you need dosbox or wine to use windows apps | 01:44 |
| orgthingy | unop: i dunno, ask my school man | 01:44 |
| buzzsaw | i am trying to compile a program and i got http://pastebin.com/m60110c02 however apt-get does not like makeinfo or textinfo for packages | 01:44 |
| orgthingy | i told my teacher i only have linux | 01:44 |
| histo | orgthingy: its kind of hard to answer you questions if you wont' explain. | 01:45 |
| orgthingy | she told me that sometimes, terminal is fine but not for all classes | 01:45 |
| histo | orgthingy: we've told you that you can use dosbox probably | 01:45 |
| victor_ | xtknight: can anyone look at my dmesg output for my TV Tuner Kworld ATSC 120: http://pastebin.com/m2eb867ba | 01:45 |
| SUPEROGT | Good nite, i want to load some modules at start up so i added to /etc/modules but it don't work. I guess i'm writing something wrong. The commands i use for enable my modules are modprobe ath_pci and modprobe wlan_scan_sta and i added these commands with and without the modprobe but nothing... Anyone have another alternative? | 01:45 |
| histo | !info dosbox > orgthingy | 01:45 |
| ubottu | orgthingy, please see my private message | 01:45 |
| orgthingy | histo: I need cmd.. because we're taking "cmd courses" in school | 01:45 |
| unop | madfrancis, what are you using to adjust settings? | 01:45 |
| histo | I give up | 01:45 |
| MuzikJunkie | histo: x did not start | 01:45 |
| smee | orgthingy: i would suspect your teacher is not aware of what the terminal in linux is capable of | 01:45 |
| MuzikJunkie | histo: black screen | 01:46 |
| histo | MuzikJunkie: hrm. okay remove nvidia-glx-new | 01:46 |
| iptel | hi ALL | 01:46 |
| orgthingy | smee: yes yes.. but some commands in cmd are different | 01:46 |
| histo | MuzikJunkie: and install nvidia-glx | 01:46 |
| bastid_raZor | orgthingy; have you thought about a virtual machine? i just caught the last of your issues | 01:46 |
| victor_ | xtknight: can anyone look at my dmesg output for my TV Tuner Kworld ATSC 120: http://pastebin.com/m2eb867ba | 01:46 |
| orgthingy | virtual machine.. nah, it barely works | 01:46 |
| iptel | народ плиз | 01:46 |
| MuzikJunkie | histo: aptitude purge nvidia-glx-new? | 01:46 |
| histo | !ru | 01:46 |
| ubottu | Пожалуйста посетите #ubuntu-ru для получения помощи на русском языке / Pozhalujsta posetite #ubuntu-ru dlya polucheniya pomoshi na russkom yazyke | 01:46 |
| smee | orgthingy: but if you need to have ait, best way is to use virtualbox and run windows/dos in there | 01:46 |
| JFCake | anyone know a good distro based on Ubuntu 8.04 with kernel 2.6.24 or higher? | 01:46 |
| orgthingy | my computer is so old :( | 01:46 |
| xtknight | vices, umm well 2.6.26 added support for kworld 120 btw | 01:46 |
| iptel | пожскажите плеер для Убунту | 01:46 |
| xtknight | vices, sorry wrong nick | 01:46 |
| iptel | мп3 | 01:46 |
| orgthingy | ok | 01:46 |
| xtknight | victor_, umm well 2.6.26 added support for kworld 120 btw | 01:46 |
| unop | orgthingy, wine cmd.exe | 01:46 |
| MuzikJunkie | histo: i cannot even get to a TTY | 01:46 |
| histo | orgthingy: use dosbox or virtualbox. | 01:46 |
| smee | orgthingy: there is also a dos emulator in the repos | 01:46 |
| JFCake | Nice one. | 01:46 |
| victor_ | xtknight: did you look at my dmesg output | 01:46 |
| MuzikJunkie | histo: recovery mode i guess? | 01:46 |
| histo | MuzikJunkie: reboot and at the grub screen hit esc and select recovery mode. | 01:46 |
| SUPEROGT | Anyone has any idea about load modules at startup ? | 01:47 |
| smee | orgthingy: the dos emulator would be less of an exercise to get up and running too | 01:47 |
| orgthingy | ah | 01:47 |
| orgthingy | wine has cmd :D | 01:47 |
| spiritwalker | hello does anyone knows why i have sdl libs installed and when i compile something ubuntu says they are not i'm relative new in linux | 01:47 |
| xtknight | victor_, yes i did. i dont know what it means | 01:47 |
| orgthingy | wine cmd.exe | 01:47 |
| orgthingy | :D | 01:47 |
| orgthingy | thanks a lot | 01:47 |
| histo | MuzikJunkie: yeah atleast we know your card is working we just have to figure out which driver it wants. IT should be nvidia-glx I don' know why it would try -new | 01:47 |
| WatchDragon | virtualbox = easy stuff | 01:47 |
| orgthingy | and yes, ill try dos emulators | 01:47 |
| kitche | spiritwalker: most likely need -dev | 01:47 |
| victor_ | xtknight: i also see this [ 4387.674395] cx88[0]: Calling XC2028/3028 callback | 01:47 |
| xtknight | victor_, compile a 2.6.26 kernel and try | 01:47 |
| smee | orgthingy: you want to make sure when dealing with permissions that the wine cmd is representing the situation as per normal windows lunacy | 01:47 |
| MuzikJunkie | histo: and you want me to run the aptitude purge...is this the same as unchecking the package in synaptic? | 01:48 |
| histo | orgthingy: yeah wine cmd.exe will work for you. | 01:48 |
| histo | orgthingy: just install wine sudo aptitude install wine | 01:48 |
| xtknight | victor_, p.s. enable CONFIG_SND in the new kernel if you want sound (and the proper module for your card), something most kernel compilation guides neglect to mention | 01:48 |
| orgthingy | i have wine already | 01:48 |
| histo | MuzikJunkie: purge will remove the configuration files | 01:48 |
| orgthingy | :) | 01:48 |
| MuzikJunkie | histo: is this what i need to run? | 01:48 |
| unop | orgthingy, wine does not have cmd.exe -- you need to run the cmd.exe that exists in your wine installation with wine | 01:48 |
| histo | MuzikJunkie: but yes aptitude purge just removes the package and its configs | 01:49 |
| histo | MuzikJunkie: sudo aptitude purge nvidia-glx-new | 01:49 |
| histo | MuzikJunkie: then sudo aptitude install nvidia-glx | 01:49 |
| histo | MuzikJunkie: hopefully that should fix it all. | 01:49 |
| spiritwalker | -dev ??? sorry i'm really a small pidgin | 01:49 |
| orgthingy | well, it seems that it has cmd.exe :) | 01:49 |
| smee | orgthingy: ha, you have to use the "wine cmd" in an existing terminal though...i assumed this wasnt the case.. | 01:50 |
| unop | orgthingy, actually wait. wine has it's own cmd.exe but it isn't the fully compatible version with the actual microsoft cmd.exe - you'll need to get cmd.exe off of a windows CD | 01:50 |
| kitche | spiritwalker: libsdl-dev package if your trying to compile a program | 01:50 |
| orgthingy | unop : oh, i see | 01:50 |
| unop | orgthingy, the cmd.exe that comes with wine is wine's implementation of cmd.exe | 01:50 |
| histo | what is wrong with him just using dosbox | 01:50 |
| orgthingy | i see | 01:50 |
| MuzikJunkie | histo: installed nvidia=glx...rebooting | 01:50 |
| orgthingy | so, Ill get the real cmd | 01:50 |
| orgthingy | ms's cmd :) | 01:50 |
| SebNaitsabes | if I remember correctly Outlook can just have it's settings imported into Thunderbird when both are running on Windows. however what I am wondering is if I can get the settings from Outlook running in Windows into Thunderbird running in Ubuntu, without having to say first install Thunderbird into Windows and then copy the relivant setting files over to the one in Ubuntu | 01:51 |
| histo | MuzikJunkie: cross your fingers if not we'll just remove that and use the regular vesa driver temporarily | 01:51 |
| histo | orgthingy: yes | 01:51 |
| SebNaitsabes | also like THunderbird, outlook wil have it's own settings per user? | 01:51 |
| Ultraputz | thunderbird works with mapi? | 01:51 |
| orgthingy | ok, thanks for your help | 01:51 |
| smee | orgthingy: depending on which version of dos your class is using for the exercises, dosbox might be your better option | 01:51 |
| iratsu | what's a good terminal application to burn DVDs? | 01:51 |
| unop | histo, if his teacher want's him to use cmd.exe and he uses dosbox, he isn't guaranteed to get the same results | 01:51 |
| histo | iratsu: dd | 01:51 |
| SUPEROGT | Good nite, i want to load some modules at start up so i added to /etc/modules but it don't work. I guess i'm writing something wrong. The commands i use for enable my modules are modprobe ath_pci and modprobe wlan_scan_sta and i added these commands with and without the modprobe but nothing... Anyone have another alternative? | 01:51 |
| iratsu | histo: seriously? | 01:52 |
| MuzikJunkie | histo: black screen | 01:52 |
| orgthingy | smee: im downloading "freedos" (free DOS ) | 01:52 |
| orgthingy | and dos emulator | 01:52 |
| kindofabuzz | what school is still teaching DOS???!!?? | 01:52 |
| histo | !better > iratsu | 01:52 |
| ubottu | iratsu, please see my private message | 01:52 |
| MuzikJunkie | histo: recover mode? | 01:52 |
| kitche | iratsu: growisofs is the only way to burn dvd isos unless you use dd but have not tried using dd on dvd isos | 01:52 |
| histo | kindofabuzz: a lot of them unfortunately | 01:52 |
| kindofabuzz | jeeez | 01:52 |
| orgthingy | kindofabuzz: theyre teaching us how to use cmd actually | 01:52 |
| spiritwalker | ha ok that one i don't have so for what i understand -dev packages are for when we try compile things and the others are for programs use only right?? | 01:52 |
| smee | kindofabuzz: any school that holds history in high regard | 01:52 |
| unop | orgthingy, freedos does not have a cmd.exe .. iirc, it only has a command.com | 01:52 |
| kindofabuzz | they should teach you linux commands | 01:52 |
| Ultraputz | kindofabuzz - a lot of technical schools mention it because there are still a lot of systems that use it | 01:52 |
| orgthingy | oh :( | 01:53 |
| iratsu | kitche: hmm what i want to burn isn't an iso though | 01:53 |
| unop | kindofabuzz, the schools that expect you to work on windows .. | 01:53 |
| kindofabuzz | Ultraputz, true | 01:53 |
| SUPEROGT | they should teach how to read and think | 01:53 |
| histo | iratsu: make it an iso then burn that. | 01:53 |
| smee | kindofabuzz: true, but they are funded and indoctrinated by pay slips that dictate a microsoft world | 01:53 |
| Ultraputz | superogt - there'd be no point. | 01:53 |
| iratsu | histo: ah, ok | 01:53 |
| kitche | iratsu: then dd is not what you want | 01:53 |
| JFCake | Yo if I compile and update my kernel on hardy, will that bug/slow it a bit? | 01:53 |
| Ultraputz | "now that idiots have critical thinking skills, they can be stupid, critically." | 01:53 |
| kindofabuzz | JFCake, only if you screw it up, which is possible | 01:53 |
| unop | JFCake, depends on what exactly you do | 01:53 |
| spiritwalker | <kitche> any way thank you very very much my monitor and my head just say thanks | 01:53 |
| yyy_ | JFCake: only if you do it wrong :P | 01:54 |
| orgthingy | oh | 01:54 |
| MuzikJunkie | histo: in recovery...purge nvidia-glx? | 01:54 |
| lifebug | is it possible to get a seperate sound for dropping a file into trash on the desktop? i use hardy with gnome ... | 01:54 |
| orgthingy | DOS aint working :( | 01:54 |
| SUPEROGT | gosh... anyone knows any good ubuntu related forum ? | 01:54 |
| histo | MuzikJunkie: nvidia-glx didn't work either? | 01:55 |
| the_darkside_986 | How does one listen to internet radio as *.asx file? Totem keeps saying "Location not found" ??? | 01:55 |
| MuzikJunkie | histo: nope | 01:55 |
| histo | MuzikJunkie: wth | 01:55 |
| orgthingy | DOS emulator**** | 01:55 |
| histo | MuzikJunkie: yeah I guess to get back to working X | 01:55 |
| yyy_ | the_darkside_986: try vlc or mplayer maybe? | 01:55 |
| kitche | the_darkside_986: vlc or mplayer but most likely need win32codecs | 01:55 |
| MuzikJunkie | histo: i get through the splash and then the last four or so lines from the startup commands blink on the screen about 5 times and then the screen goes black with no access to TTY | 01:55 |
| JFCake | any how-not-to-fuck-up kernel upgrade method? | 01:55 |
| JFCake | :P | 01:55 |

| the_darkside_986 | I'm using the _LATEST_ moblock in Ubuntu Hardy and I have no idea how to whitelist specific IPs now. They changed the format or something. | 01:57 |
| Ultraputz | general question -- how is everyone's experience with flash under hardy ? | 01:57 |
| SUPEROGT | smee: not so obvious for me, i'm spanish talker :P tks | 01:57 |
| unop | MISI, where are you now? within the live CD? | 01:57 |
| MISI | yes | 01:57 |

| neothecat | has anyone have problems with 8.04 where certain apps, like vmware and rhythmbox, where i open upa preference box, and it just freezes? | 01:58 |
| histo | MuzikJunkie: after removing nvidia-glx? | 01:58 |
| kindofabuzz | Ultraputz, try Flash 10 beta, solved alot of crashing for me | 01:58 |
| MuzikJunkie | histo: yes | 01:58 |
| smee | SUPEROGT: ah. but english is not a problem to deal with no ? | 01:58 |
| histo | MuzikJunkie: and it worked the first time? | 01:58 |
| MuzikJunkie | histo: yes | 01:58 |
| unop | MISI, did you mount your linux partitions? | 01:58 |
| MuzikJunkie | histo: restore an old xorg/ | 01:58 |

| smee | SUPEROGT: since im not aure about a spanish ubuntuforums | 01:58 |
| histo | MuzikJunkie: it should have on its own. | 01:58 |
| kindofabuzz | Ultraputz, no, you gotta d/l it | 01:58 |
| kindofabuzz | google it | 01:58 |
| histo | MuzikJunkie: edit the xorg.conf and change the driver to vesa from nvidia see what happens. | 01:58 |
| Ultraputz | from adoobie? | 01:58 |
| histo | MuzikJunkie: or nv | 01:58 |
| Ultraputz | otay | 01:58 |
| kindofabuzz | yup | 01:58 |
| SUPEROGT | they are mhhhh slow? | 01:58 |
| histo | MuzikJunkie: I would try nv first then vesa | 01:59 |
| kindofabuzz | lol adoobie | 01:59 |
| MISI | unop, i installed in on same partiyion as windows | 01:59 |
| MuzikJunkie | histo: where do i go from here? | 01:59 |
| histo | MuzikJunkie: you can restart sudo /etc/init.d/gdm restart | 01:59 |
| SUPEROGT | they don't respond ever... so i tried another option like irc but is useless | 01:59 |
| unop | MISI, eh? you mean you installed linux on an ntfs partition? | 01:59 |
| MuzikJunkie | histo: no access to TTY...have to pull the power | 01:59 |
| kindofabuzz | imposible ain't it? | 01:59 |
| SUPEROGT | they don't respond ever... so i tried another option like irc but is useless | 01:59 |
| histo | MuzikJunkie: Are you sure this is an nvidia card? | 01:59 |
| SUPEROGT | tks smee | 02:00 |
| MuzikJunkie | histo: XFX NVIDIA GEFORCE | 02:00 |
| histo | MuzikJunkie: reboot the recovery mode and sudo nano /etc/X11/xorg.conf | 02:00 |
| smee | SUPEROGT: most of what i have learnt about linux over that last 4-5 years has been through my own experimentation and friends | 02:00 |
| MISI | unop, yes, its bad? | 02:00 |
| histo | MuzikJunkie: you are going to want ot change the driver section to nv from nvidia | 02:00 |
| histo | !nvidia > MuzikJunkie | 02:00 |
| ubottu | MuzikJunkie, please see my private message | 02:00 |
| MuzikJunkie | histo: ok never used nano | 02:00 |
| jimd1 | hi guys. I'm trying to add a new user to my ubuntu desktop set up. When I create the account using System > Administration > Users and Groups, after the account appears to b created it is missing a number of folders such as music, pictures, public, etc. Anyone have any ideas on how these other folders "should" get created? | 02:01 |
| histo | MuzikJunkie: its an editor | 02:01 |
| unop | MISI, yes indeed, grub does not know how to read off of ntfs partitions to get the boot images | 02:01 |
| smee | SUPEROGT: not being a stagnant project means it always presenting new things to learn | 02:01 |
| histo | MuzikJunkie: the keys ont he bottom are Ctrl then the letter | 02:01 |
| MuzikJunkie | histo: i know, just not familiar with it | 02:01 |
| histo | MuzikJunkie: well use which ever editor your are familiar with. | 02:01 |
| corpus_fenestrum | quit | 02:01 |
| smee | jimd1: this behaviour you want is like windows server profiles ? | 02:01 |
| histo | MuzikJunkie: nano will ask you to save any changes on exit. | 02:01 |
| smee | jimd1: it is possible with linux, but i forget how | 02:01 |
| MISI | unop, i jusy used the option that was in the installation, so what can i do now> | 02:01 |
| MuzikJunkie | histo: nothing in there about nvidia...there is a glx module though | 02:02 |
| unop | jimd1, these directories get created as and when needed by applications that the user runs | 02:02 |
| MuzikJunkie | hist: gedit :-) | 02:02 |
| unop | MISI, the best thing to do is create a new partition with gparted, and install linux on that one | 02:02 |
| jimd1 | unop: when my first account was created by the installer (when I first installed ubuntu) it created these folders for me. | 02:03 |
| smee | jimd1:ahh i think i remember now, there is a folder somewhere with this blank setup that gets used | 02:03 |
| MuzikJunkie | hist: device sectiojn has "Configured video device" Driver nvidia...there it is | 02:03 |
| unop | jimd1, edit /etc/skel then | 02:03 |
| unop | smee, ^^ | 02:03 |
| smee | jimd1: try searching on ubuntu forums for these words : new user profile home | 02:03 |
| jimd1 | unop: I am supposed to copy those? | 02:03 |
| generato1 | does anyone here know how to configure SSH?? | 02:04 |
| smee | jimd1: no, this folder is copied by the 'new user' app when you create the user | 02:04 |
| unop | jimd1, no, create all the files and folders that you expect the new user to have in /etc/skel .. whenever you create a new user from then on, those files and folders will be copied to the user's homedir | 02:04 |
| MISI | unop, ok, i will try, i have also a qurstion, how yo uninstall that one from the ntfs partition, the wondows installer cant do it | 02:04 |
| MuzikJunkie | histo: driver is nvidia and glx module is present | 02:04 |
| jimd1 | smee: i used the System > administration > users and groups to create the new user. i simply filled in the dialog box and clicked. those folders are not copied or made at that time | 02:05 |

| ani1 | Hey all, I am having a problem with my sound. After reboots it stops working correctly i have purged the alsa installs and restarted alsa-utils.

This isn't a hardware issue since it worked before the reboot... My ALSA output is found here http://pastebin.ca/1080205 | 02:13 |

| kdb424 | Windows is on Fat 32 | 02:28 |
| Xsss4hell | rockenrola1, it is a very simple idea. LOOPBACk from screen to another virtual v4l2 device | 02:28 |
| Scunizi | nevermind | 02:28 |
| bonhoffer | it looks like freenas might do what i need, but i am not sure about using it as a print server | 02:28 |
| bonhoffer | and if i use ubuntu i am not sure if i can do software raid | 02:28 |
| bonhoffer | still confused about how software raid works | 02:28 |
| kdb424 | I'm in mac now, Will it still work? | 02:28 |
| SebNaitsabes | kdb424: well on PC's anyway with Ubuntu Hardy Heron. there is a built in driver for Windows that is on a NTFS. and files can as a result easily be moved/copyed into Ubuntu | 02:28 |
| tech0007 | bonhoffer: there's lots of soft raid howto's out there | 02:28 |
| Zoem | Hi, is there a way to see which process originated a network packet? | 02:29 |
| bonhoffer | tech0007, sure, i've been poking at them | 02:29 |
| SebNaitsabes | kdb424: bootcamp hummm do you know about Mac virtualmachine software? | 02:29 |
| bonhoffer | can ubuntu do that? | 02:29 |
| kdb424 | I want them to remain where they are, because I can access all mac files, except my username protects them from accessing them | 02:29 |
| bonhoffer | someone told me i can do different hard-drive sizes on freenas -- with software raid | 02:29 |
| tech0007 | kdb424: do u see the xp partition under Places menu? | 02:29 |
| bonhoffer | that doesn't make sense | 02:29 |
| kdb424 | SebNaitsabes : Yea, I prefer trippleboot because I can still use them as virtual machines too | 02:29 |
| Xsss4hell | so I redefine the question | 02:29 |
| bonhoffer | i guess the drobo does something like that | 02:29 |
| kdb424 | Yea. I see the linux and XP | 02:30 |

| tech0007 | smee: yup | 03:10 |
| craigbass1976 | I'm booted to a livecd on a busted windows box. Is there ANY way to import the IE bookmarks into the livecd mozilla so that I can then dump them out and restore once I've reinstalled windows? | 03:10 |
| hydroponic | vilemaxim: Any way around that? | 03:10 |
| smee | tech0007: can you try right clicking on the file and using extract? | 03:10 |
| Zoem | rafaelscj I have no gateway, nat, or other device that would use a 192 block address. I have an IP direct from my ISP, with their gateway | 03:10 |
| === me is now known as interesting | ||
| === interesting is now known as in_tern | ||
| vilemaxim | hydroponic: Gibbster: oh sorry... I miss read what he was sasking for. you are right | 03:11 |
| tech0007 | smee: "Unsupported Method" Sub items Errors: 1 | 03:11 |
| Zoem | holyguyver hmmm... I believe there are setting for the login window appearance *in* the login window... but you would need to login again to check. so, maybe thats a long shot | 03:11 |
| snmpee | What is the package for galga?? | 03:11 |
| smee | tech0007: and double clicking it opens fileroller? | 03:11 |
| ColOfNature | okay, so: if i plug in the ide drive which has ubuntu installed, then if i chose my sata drive from the bios boot menu grub loads but returns error 17 if i try to load ubuntu, or err 13 if i choose windows. if, on the other hand, i chose the ide drive with ubuntu installed from the boot menu i don't get grub, i just get "Missing operating system". I've unplugged the ubuntu drive, and win is... | 03:11 |
| ColOfNature | ...working fine (or as fine as it usually does). Anyone have any ideas? | 03:11 |
| FF|h0lus | Why ubuntu can't connect to my internet | 03:11 |
| FF|h0lus | Wifi | 03:11 |
| tech0007 | smee: yup, it shows me the contents of the archive, i cant just extract it | 03:11 |
| vilemaxim | hydroponic: use chmod -r 0600 /home/username | 03:12 |
| FF|h0lus | Windows connecting without problems | 03:12 |
| hydroponic | vilemaxim, Gibbster: OK thanks | 03:12 |
| xtrxfr | craigbass1976: I don't think you can get the file to the livecd, but if you have an internet connection, you can email and attached those files to yourself. | 03:12 |
| holyguyver | Zoem I cannot mess with my login settings from within the window for the resalution is so badly off that I cannot see anything when I am in my loginwindow. | 03:12 |
| vilemaxim | FF|h0lus: ifconfig will tell if you have an ip address | 03:12 |
| Gibbster | So... any takers on why an ide drive would pretend to be a scsi drive? | 03:12 |
| ace_suares | Gibbster: i think most sata drives do that | 03:13 |
| gam3r111 | i neeeeed help | 03:13 |
| gam3r111 | rlly bad | 03:13 |
| holyguyver | Gibbster, maybe for fun, maybe it thin's it is at a masquerade. | 03:13 |
| craigbass1976 | xtrxfr, well, I've got the favorites folder; just have to copy that and hope for the best. If he was running Ubuntu, this wouldn't have happened. :P | 03:13 |
| vilemaxim | FF|h0lus: that needs to be run in a terminal if you are a new | 03:13 |
| tyler_d1 | errors updating ubuntu -- ran dpkg -configure -a and now its frozen at Generating locales - en_AU.UTF-8... | 03:13 |
| smee | tech0007: one sec | 03:13 |
| vilemaxim | tyler_d1: frozen? | 03:14 |
| xtrxfr | there you go :) | 03:14 |
| thefool | anyone here know much about pulseaudio? | 03:14 |
| thefool | it is the default in hardy yet I can't actually "use" it as it was meant to be used, I can't figure out how to control individual applications volumes etc. and pavucontrol (the program that does that) seg faults after installing via apt-get | 03:14 |
| ace_suares | gam3r111: help with what | 03:14 |
| tyler_d1 | vilemaxim: stuck frozen - not processing | 03:14 |
| Gibbster | ace_suares: it's a pata. holyguyver: but there's no chamber music... | 03:14 |
| vilemaxim | tyler_d1: kill it and see if you have enough disk space df -h | 03:14 |
| FF|h0lus | vilemaxim ye I write to terminal this | 03:14 |
| ace_suares | Gibbster: maybe your bios emulates pata trough sata ?? | 03:14 |
| FF|h0lus | and what is the next step ? ; p | 03:14 |
| tyler_d1 | vilemaxim: I did and there is | 03:14 |
| Gibbster | ace_suares: I doubt it... it's a really old system (and bios) | 03:15 |
| Gibbster | ace_suares:think 2000 | 03:15 |
| gam3r111 | i have vista and ubuntu dual booted on a computer and i wasusing bcd in windows to let the vista loader be incharge instead of grub and i cant boot back into ubuntu | 03:15 |
| tyler_d1 | vilemaxim: just prior to this there is a message relating to firefox 3.0 - dependency problems - leaving unconigured | 03:15 |
| tyler_d1 | vilemaxim: unconfigured | 03:15 |
| ColOfNature | anyone know how to stop grub from running unless i boot to the drive it is installed on? | 03:15 |
| holyguyver | Gibbster 2000 is not old, until this year I was running on a 1998. | 03:15 |
| Gibbster | ace_suares: I do have another sata drive using a sata card, but that's for a different set of drives | 03:16 |
| ace_suares | Gibbster: well then I dont see how an ide drive can become a scsi drive... you mean /dev/sda or something ? | 03:16 |
| vilemaxim | tyler_d1: hmmm.. the next think I would do is start modifing the post and pre install scripts to see how far they are getting... but I would be afraid to direct you to do that. | 03:16 |
| ace_suares | gam3r111: i have no clue about MS products, including the boot laoder. | 03:16 |
| gam3r111 | i have vista and ubuntu dual booted on a computer and i wasusing bcd in windows to let the vista loader be incharge instead of grub and i cant boot back into ubuntu | 03:16 |
| Gibbster | ace_suares: I have three drives: a pata drive sdc, and two sata drives running off a sata card: sda and sdb | 03:16 |
| tyler_d1 | vilemaxim: care to give me a hint as the system is unusable in teh current state | 03:16 |
| gam3r111 | well can someone help me | 03:17 |
| chh111 | i got a critical problem trying to upgrade from 8.04.1 to 8.10,can any one help me? | 03:17 |
| ace_suares | Gibbster: well if your pata is connected to the normal ide0 , then it should be /dev/hda | 03:17 |
| Gibbster | ace_suares: the trouble is when I disconnect either of the sata drives, my system doesn't boot | 03:17 |
| vilemaxim | tyler_d1: but if you are up for the adventure the scripts are in /var/lib/dpkg/info | 03:17 |
| Gibbster | ace_suares: yeah, that's what I thought | 03:17 |
| IdleOne | chh111, #ubuntu+1 | 03:17 |
| tyler_d1 | vilemaxim: always up for an adventure | 03:17 |
| ace_suares | Gibbster: it's your bios that does that. | 03:17 |
| vilemaxim | tyler_d1: I just put echo "here" | 03:17 |
| gam3r111 | i have vista and ubuntu dual booted on a computer and i wasusing bcd in windows to let the vista loader be incharge instead of grub and i cant boot back into ubuntu | 03:17 |
| gam3r111 | i have vista and ubuntu dual booted on a computer and i wasusing bcd in windows to let the vista loader be incharge instead of grub and i cant boot back into ubuntu | 03:17 |

| FloodBot1 | gam3r111: Please don't flood, use http://paste.ubuntu.com to paste, don't use Enter as punctuation. | 03:17 |
| Zoem | holyguyver hmmm, I think also the startup manager might have something to help you. its in the Add/Remove Programs | 03:17 |
| vilemaxim | tyler_d1: you understand bash scripts | 03:17 |
| smee | tech0007: did you "sudo apt-get install 7zip" or "sudo apt-get install 7zip-full" | 03:17 |
| vilemaxim | ? | 03:17 |
| yclian | Hi guys, I am upgrading one of my server from Gutsy to Hardy, but it seems that the locale is screwed. Am seeing "perl: warning: Setting locale failed." whenever a package is installed. | 03:18 |
| gam3r111 | i have vista and ubuntu dual booted on a computer and i wasusing bcd in windows to let the vista loader be incharge instead of grub and i cant boot back into ubuntu | 03:18 |
| ace_suares | Gibbster normally, ide0 goes before the sata drives... and in the bios, in boot order, you must be able to set it | 03:18 |
| yclian | Thing thing is hanging there btw: Setting up locales (2.7.9-4) ... Generating locales... en_AU.UTF-8... | 03:18 |
| tech0007 | smee: apt-get install p7zip | 03:18 |
| tyler_d1 | vilemaxim: somewhat | 03:18 |
| smee | tech0007: also, is the 7zip a multipart? | 03:18 |
| Gibbster | ace_suares: yeah... that's another thing. I installed on the ide drive, but it wouldn't boot until I set the boot sequence to scsi | 03:18 |
| troythetechguy_ | System/prefrences/screen resolution states my refresh rate is 76 Hz, but my on screen display for my monitor says it's 60 Hz. Which one is probably correct? | 03:18 |
| tech0007 | smee: just 1 file, it has an iso inside it | 03:19 |
| Gibbster | ace_suares: this was before the sata drives were even formatted | 03:19 |
| uriel_ | customizing my user interface | 03:19 |

| chuck | wow why is the kernel downloading at 33kB/s >_> | 03:19 |
| IdleOne | it seems that my browser has been hi-jacked. I have some porn site comming up on firefox startup. anybody seen this happen lately? | 03:19 |
| uriel_ | i need help with costomixing my user interface | 03:19 |
| CarlFK | where can I import slugify from so I can use it in a view ? | 03:19 |
| vilemaxim | tyler_d1: if you messed with them at all you should be able to find the line that it is sticking at. That might explain what is happening. Once you find the line you can run it directily and see the error you get. | 03:19 |
| ace_suares | Gibbster: can't be anything else then your bios. Or maybe the ROM of you sata adapter does this ? Can you disable that rom or set it uo (Ctrl-M ?) | 03:19 |
| ace_suares | uo up | 03:19 |
| uriel_ | anybody know somthin bout that? | 03:19 |
| FF|h0lus | vilemaxim plz check the pm ;) | 03:19 |
| smee | tech0007: to eliminate corrupted archive, download an entirely seperate 7zip file and try using that | 03:19 |
| tech0007 | IdleOne: recreate your firefox profile | 03:19 |
| CarlFK | whoops, this isn't #django... | 03:19 |
| vilemaxim | tyler_d1: you might have to manually figure out the vars | 03:20 |
| ace_suares | uriel_: what do you want to customize.. | 03:20 |
| tech0007 | smee: ok will do | 03:20 |
| smee | tech0007: preferably a 7zip file not made with the p7zip program | 03:20 |
| IdleOne | tech0007, my question is more how did this happen ? | 03:20 |
| Gibbster | CarlFX: your python talk ain't welcome here ;-) | 03:20 |
| ndo | guys, ive got trouble. when i run virtualbox, my gnome goes broken. system is still working, but i cant use it.. :( | 03:20 |
| uriel_ | i meen like the windows and stuff | 03:20 |
| uriel_ | ive seen other people download them | 03:20 |
| tech0007 | IdleOne: some pages have scripts on them, i have adblock and noscripts extensions | 03:21 |
| vilemaxim | FF|h0lus: You do not have an IP. Are you connecting through a wire or wireless? | 03:21 |
| uriel_ | is there a prgram to use these downloads with or a prosses | 03:21 |
| Sylphid | ndo, how much memory do you have? | 03:21 |
| Gibbster | ace_suares: I really don't mind that the drive shows up as sdc. my problem is that when I disconnect another sata drive, I can't boot | 03:21 |
| Shish_ | what would cause ubuntu to transfer at usb 1.0 speed on usb 2.0 mem stick? (i'm getting 1.2 Mb/sec in nautilus file transfer dialog) / same usb port on xp transfers at 2.0 speed, please help? | 03:21 |
| FF|h0lus | vilemaxim Wireless | 03:21 |
| ndo | Sylphid: 1gig | 03:21 |
| Gibbster | ace_suares: grub hard disk error when I disconnect one drive, and nothing at all when I disconnect another | 03:21 |
| ndo | Sylphid: why? | 03:21 |
| vilemaxim | FF|h0lus: well.... do you know if your card is supported under ubuntu? | 03:21 |
| FF|h0lus | vilemaxim I don't know ;( | 03:22 |
| Sylphid | Sylphid, you may not have enough to run 2 systems simultaniously | 03:22 |
| vilemaxim | FF|h0lus: lspci | 03:22 |
| Sylphid | ndp, you may not have enough to run 2 systems simultaniously | 03:22 |
| vilemaxim | FF|h0lus: another terminal command | 03:22 |
| uriel_ | ace_suares,did ya get that? | 03:22 |
| ace_suares | Gibbster: but that is also done by your bios | 03:22 |
| FF|h0lus | ok | 03:22 |
| Sylphid | ndo, you may not have enough to run 2 systems simultaniously | 03:22 |
| Sylphid | man i cant type tonight... | 03:22 |
| Gibbster | ace_suares: what is? | 03:22 |
| NDPMacBook | Huh | 03:22 |
| vilemaxim | FF|h0lus: that will tell you all PCI devices | 03:22 |
| NDPMacBook | I run 3 systems! | 03:22 |
| vilemaxim | FF|h0lus: we are looking for the wireless card | 03:23 |
| ace_suares | uriel_: I dont understand you question. Can you rephrase it ? | 03:23 |
| ace_suares | Gibbster: determining what drive can boot | 03:23 |
| Sylphid | ndo, what is your load avg? | 03:23 |
| HappyHater | how do I switch between channels in irssi? | 03:23 |
| vilemaxim | FF|h0lus: not all cards are supported, but it is much better now that it was a few years ago | 03:23 |
| ndo | Sylphid: but what have my ram to do with blacking out gnome? oke i understand if i have not enough ram, i can be slow, but not crashing gnome tough, or is it? | 03:23 |
| ace_suares | Gibbster: oh and there is a whole slew of stuff like 'hd0' in grub which changes if you change drives. hd1 will be hd0 etc. | 03:23 |
| FF|h0lus | vilemaxim In PCI I don't have but in Network Controller: Texas Instruments ACX 100 22Mbps wireless interface | 03:23 |
| chuck | is the ubuntu archive server slow or something | 03:24 |
| uriel_ | ace suares, how do i change my desktop interface to look well better ive seen downloads in the gnome website but i dont know how to use them is there a program to use them with or a prosses? | 03:24 |
| Gibbster | ace_suares: yeah, that probably explains the 'Grub Hard disk error', but not the blank screen | 03:24 |
| FF|h0lus | this is PC not notebook and this is extrenal card | 03:24 |
| Gibbster | ace_suares: only the pata drive is marked as bootable\ | 03:24 |
| smee | uriel_: can you please explain yourself more | 03:24 |
| vilemaxim | FF|h0lus: now if I was trying to figure this out on my own, I would drop that in google with the word linux and or ubuntu to see if anyone has gotten that card working. | 03:25 |
| ace_suares | Gibbster: well on what drive you have the grub installed... !? | 03:25 |
| ace_suares | Gibbster: marked as bootable in the partition table ? ha ha only for DOS 6.x important | 03:25 |
| Gibbster | ace_suares: the pata drive. | 03:25 |
| Sylphid | ndo, what do you mean by 'blacking out' | 03:25 |
| tech0007 | chuck: go to software sources and find the fastest mirror | 03:25 |
| ace_suares | Gibbster: I have NONE marked as bootable in partition table | 03:25 |
| Gibbster | ace_suares: oh really! I had no idea | 03:25 |
| chuck | tech0007: too late now >_> it's already downloading | 03:25 |

| uriel_ | smee, thanks ill take a look | 03:26 |
| FF|h0lus | vilemaxim ok thx for all I trying tomorrow again but I must go | 03:26 |
| ndo | Sylphid: when i start vb, after 5 mins or so, screen gets black, i hear that the system is still doing its things, but i cantt use it because of black screen | 03:26 |
| vilemaxim | FF|h0lus: I see someone talking about an experimental driver | 03:26 |
| ace_suares | uriel_: okay.. follow the link smee sent you :-) | 03:26 |
| Gibbster | ace_suares: my bios has the usual options for booting: ide0, ide1, etc. none of those worked after installing. What worked was an option called 'scsi' | 03:26 |

| FF|h0lus | vilemaxim thx :) see ya ... hmmm tomorrow ;D | 03:27 |
| ace_suares | Gibbster: so, your ide drive is reigned by your sata card ! | 03:27 |
| smee | uriel_: but normally, if its a gtk theme package, just open system -> preferences -> appearance and drag+drop the tar.gz on that window | 03:27 |
| ace_suares | uriel_: the bot is great ! | 03:27 |
| vilemaxim | FF|h0lus: probably not... sorry | 03:27 |
| Gibbster | ace_suares: seems that way... | 03:27 |
| vilemaxim | FF|h0lus: good luck | 03:27 |

| ace_suares | !ask |Neod192 | 03:39 |
| rockenrola1 | tech0007: yes. but I can install either 32 or 64. and that is software. So where is the difference? | 03:39 |

| smith469 | niether | 04:36 |
| smith469 | neither | 04:36 |
| Flannel | qweqweqwe: Ubuntu can have a root account. You'll just set up a normal user, and then use that instead. | 04:36 |
| CaptainMorgan | smith469, did you select anything before the partition page? | 04:36 |
| smith469 | let me see | 04:36 |
| qweqweqwe | Flannel, but how do i log in for the first time? | 04:36 |
| smith469 | (rebooting) | 04:36 |
| Flannel | qweqweqwe: Log in with the root user. | 04:37 |
| smith469 | this computer is so fast | 04:37 |
| qweqweqwe | from the console? | 04:37 |
| CaptainMorgan | smith469, if you selected nothing - ie: using its defaults, then it will do "use the largest continuous space" or guided, I believe and will not ask for your input | 04:37 |
| smith469 | oh | 04:37 |
| CaptainMorgan | smith469, so.. you must use Manual :) | 04:37 |
| smith469 | how do i not use defaults | 04:37 |
| Flannel | qweqweqwe: Are you sitting at it? or you connect through ssh? | 04:37 |
| CaptainMorgan | smith469, if your intention is to use the partitioner | 04:37 |

| jordan | hey guys, quick question | 04:42 |
| smith469 | captainmorgan, i think | 04:42 |
| mouser- | Lenaud01: I can't xkill, it's a command line process. | 04:43 |
| CaptainMorgan | what process is it skipping ? smith469 | 04:43 |
| Ganandorf | help please my ubuntu won't boot it just goes to the boot screen th emarker moves then stops stays at that point and my keyboard capslock and scroll lights begin to flash on and off | 04:43 |

| jordan | any help for me? | 04:43 |
| yyy | jordan: what kind of share is it? | 04:43 |
| CaptainMorgan | smith469, ok... so it's setting up partitioner ... ? | 04:43 |
| bazhang | Ganandorf, remove quiet and splash from the boot parameters and see the exact errors | 04:43 |

| CaptainMorgan | garyx, **ask*** your question | 04:44 |
| squarebracket | is there any way i could find out if the latest xephyr package in the repo includes evdev support? | 04:44 |
| Flannel | jordan: there's a number of methods of sharing. Is it a windows machine? | 04:44 |
| Ganandorf | bazhang i don't know how to do that | 04:44 |
| yyy | jordan: in what way is the folder shared? From windows? nfs? samba? | 04:44 |
| jordan | yes, his is a windows machine | 04:44 |
| jordan | from windows | 04:44 |
| CaptainMorgan | smith469, it does this automatically ? | 04:44 |
| jordan | and id like to access is from my mac terminal | 04:44 |
| jordan | i figure the command should be the same | 04:44 |
| jordan | for ubuntu | 04:44 |
| Flannel | !samba | jordan | 04:44 |
| ubottu | jordan: 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. | 04:45 |
| Ganandorf | <Windsurfer619> i tried the kernal that said at the end and nothing | 04:45 |

| debian_akroyd | lvl >> ok..and if it doesnt, you will need to install one of the gstreamer codecs (Totem will tell you which one.thats the nice thing about the new version of totem..it tells you what you need if you dont have it) | 05:00 |

| baudthief | Shish_: have you tried turning it off an on again :P | 05:08 |
| brEz | sweet! | 05:08 |
| CaptainMorgan | smith469, last resort: you may want to try a different mobo | 05:08 |
| SebNaitsabes | Shish_: try this open a terminal and killall pulseaudio | 05:08 |
| Lvl21nerd | can usually make it out but sometimes not | 05:08 |
| smith469 | shish_: are your speakers on :) | 05:08 |
| CaptainMorgan | smith469, just to confirm that your hdd is good | 05:09 |
| Shish_ | baudthief: lol, yea i tried that | 05:09 |
| crashsystems | @Lvl21nerd turn up your system volume, instead of just the volume % in totem | 05:09 |
| Shish_ | smith469: yup, laptop speakers | 05:09 |
| Shish_ | lol | 05:09 |
| smith469 | captainmorgan: I ran a test from seagate, everything is good | 05:09 |

| CaptainMorgan | smith469, ?? what happened? | 05:12 |
| Lvl21nerd | xvid asd codec for vlc? how? | 05:12 |
| unop | joanki123, if you are looking just to crop photos - gimp might be overkill, though it does do it | 05:12 |

| alraune | ndo: with a gig missing swap shouldn't crash the sys ;, paste output blkid | 05:12 |
| Shish_ | :( | 05:12 |
| CaptainMorgan | smith469, ah :) | 05:12 |
| Ganandorf | hi bazhang are on | 05:13 |
| smith469 | captainmorgan: now, to fix the three other things | 05:13 |
| crashsystems | @Torrential lspci | grep Network | 05:13 |
| CaptainMorgan | smith469, so all's good that wasn't before ? | 05:13 |
| SebNaitsabes | joanki123: this is a good program :) easy to use very easy to use indeed http://kornelix.squarespace.com/fotoxx/ | 05:13 |
| bazhang | Ganandorf, yes | 05:13 |
| CaptainMorgan | ok | 05:13 |
| alraune | xu: mouse ? | 05:13 |
| artagnon | My hard drive doesn't work with either Native IDE/ AHCI settings in BIOS. What's wrong? Is my motherboard broken or is Debian netinst (what I'm trying to use) too minimalistic? | 05:13 |
| ndo | alraune: i get no output if i enter "fdisk -l" | 05:13 |
| xu | alraune: my friend tried to update totem to totem-xine | 05:13 |
| bazhang | artagnon, debian? | 05:13 |
| Torrential | crashsystems: Broadcom Corp BCM4328 | 05:13 |
| CaptainMorgan | ndo, you need sudo | 05:13 |
| CaptainMorgan | !sudo | ndo | 05:13 |
| ubottu | ndo: 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) | 05:13 |
| xu | alraune: and then when he opened totem to watch a DVD, his whole system crashed hardcore, and the mouse is disabled even after 2 restarts | 05:13 |
| artagnon | bazhang: yes. But I'm banned from the Debian channel for apparently no reason | 05:13 |
| debian_akroyd | man debian is fun when it comes down to hardware issues lol! | 05:14 |
| crashsystems | ah, that makes since. You'll need to use ndiswrapper to use your broadcom chipset, I think. | 05:14 |
| bazhang | artagnon, that is offtopic here | 05:14 |
| xu | definitely the nastiest ubuntu problem i've ever run into, and i've certainly had my share of silliness | 05:14 |
| ndo | CaptainMorgan: ok, ty | 05:14 |
| Ganandorf | ok cool i got panic not syncing vfs:unable to mount root fs on unknown - wn-block(0,0) | 05:14 |
| * artagnon sighs | 05:14 | |
| artagnon | okay | 05:14 |
| alraune | xu: paste your /etc/X11/xorg.conf | 05:14 |
| crashsystems | @Torrential lsmod | grep bcm43xx | 05:14 |
| smith469 | captainmorgan: I selected the guided, use entire disc method, what does that mean | 05:14 |
| Ganandorf | my install is 64 bit | 05:14 |
| bazhang | artagnon, try unetbootin | 05:14 |
| CaptainMorgan | xu not here, use pastebin | 05:14 |
| Torrential | crashsystems: Returns nothing | 05:14 |
| CaptainMorgan | !pastebin | xu | 05:14 |
| ubottu | xu: 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) | 05:14 |
| smith469 | captainmorgan: I'm not used to linux formats | 05:14 |
| crashsystems | @Torrential lsmod | grep bcm | 05:15 |
| Torrential | crashsystems: Nothing still | 05:15 |
| CaptainMorgan | smith469, pretty much it means what it says it's going to do :) | 05:15 |
| alraune | ndo: fdisk -l is the small "L" | 05:15 |
| artagnon | bazhang: No point. Even my installed Debian doesn't start | 05:15 |
| xu | alraune: how do i do that from my friend's computer sans-mouse? | 05:15 |
| CaptainMorgan | smith469, use the whole disk? guided with largest *free* space? or manual? etc....etc. | 05:15 |
| artagnon | with either of the drivers | 05:15 |
| tonisius | Trying to get IMwheel working with firefox3 on the latest ubuntu 8.04 | 05:15 |
| artagnon | AHCI or native IDE | 05:15 |
| tonisius | any advice or assitance? | 05:15 |
| debian_akroyd | art >> then its probably your bios... | 05:15 |
| xu | nvm, i'll figure it out | 05:15 |
| debian_akroyd | if your system wont boot to debian, then its probably your bios | 05:16 |
| debian_akroyd | art >> can you atleast get to grub? | 05:16 |
| tonisius | trying to find the right resource for it, but imwheel -c -d isn't giving me the title of the firefox3 window | 05:16 |
| artagnon | It's a new motherbarod | 05:16 |
| alraune | xu: oh yeah.... | 05:16 |
| Ganandorf | ok cool i got [191.7539087 kernel panic - unt root fs on unknown - wn-block(0,0) | 05:16 |
| artagnon | yes, I can get to GRUB | 05:16 |
| pan02342 | is it ok to mount hdd to desktop? | 05:16 |
| smith469 | captainmorgan: it gave me only one choice, most likely since it was brand new and nothing was on it | 05:16 |
| debian_akroyd | kk well then its not somethingw ith your bios | 05:16 |
| xu | alraune: I can just paste it to firefox and then manually type the link, i guess? | 05:16 |
| Shish_ | SebNaitsabes: actually the terminal message says pulseaudio:no process killed | 05:16 |
| artagnon | in fact it boots until it gets to the stage where it tries to mount disks | 05:16 |
| Neod192 | hello, I have a problem loading ubuntu from the live cd. when it loads, it goes to a text screen telling me to type help for the built-in comands. anyone know what's going on? | 05:16 |
| pan02342 | mount -t ntfs-3g /dev/hda3 ~/Desktop | 05:16 |
| alraune | xu :alt + F2 : gnome-terminal, type : cd /etc/X11/ | 05:16 |
| smith469 | captainmorgan: manual was an option, but I didnt know what to do | 05:16 |
| xu | yeah, i have it copied | 05:16 |
| artagnon | then it drops to the busybee shell and says no hard disks were found | 05:16 |
| CaptainMorgan | smith469, hmm... strange though.. even new disks you partition if you wish | 05:16 |
| xu | and i'm navigating to paste.ubuntu now | 05:16 |
| ndo | alraune: http://pastebin.com/m56620db2 | 05:17 |
| SebNaitsabes | Shish_: ok so it's not a pulseaudio issue then hummmmmm meaning your sound is not working at all probably | 05:17 |
| CaptainMorgan | smith469, ok, that's good, just go with guided for now until you get the hang of it | 05:17 |
| bazhang | debian_akroyd, feel free to go to PM or create a channel #artagnon to talk about debian | 05:17 |

| crashsystems | @Torrential doing some research, brb | 05:17 |
| tonisius | blarg, this IMWheel configuration helper isn't very helpful | 05:17 |
| CaptainMorgan | nice | 05:17 |
| Shish_ | SebNaitsabes: thats strange... cause i still get the "beep" on this window when there's nothin to delete, and i hit backspace...? | 05:17 |
| Torrential | crashsystems: Ok, thank you. | 05:17 |
| debian_akroyd | ok sry | 05:17 |

| xu | alraune: i'm at paste.ubuntu | 05:18 |
| SebNaitsabes | Shish_: problem with lap tops is some of their hardware is not suppourted by Linux, their may be a driver some where that can be used though | 05:18 |
| artagnon | bazhang: any suggestions on where I can get some help? | 05:18 |
| debian_akroyd | art i just sent you a pm did you get it? | 05:18 |
| xu | alraune: can I just use plaintext? | 05:18 |
| SebNaitsabes | Shih_: depending on what sound card you have, but I can't really help you with that, but someone else here probably can | 05:18 |
| debian_akroyd | art >> well you could either reply to my pm or go to a debian list | 05:18 |
| khaije1 | btw to answer the question i asked before about how to load the minimal X server is 'xorg' - i was thinking xserver-xorg at first but thats wrong | 05:19 |

| artagnon | debian_akroyd: replied to PM | 05:19 |
| xu | alraune: for the /etc/X11/xorg.conf | 05:19 |

| Shishire | I'm running uTorrent in wine, and when it closes, it doesn't close cleanly, I have to manually kill it, and it leaves a socket open | 05:20 |
| crashsystems | @Torrential Check out this site (http://linuxwisdom.blogspot.com/2008/07/install-ubuntu-hardy-heron-8041-on.html), and scroll down until you get to the part where the author installs his BCM4328 card, about one third down. | 05:20 |

| foool | totally new to ubuntu - how do i make a shortcut to desktop, when i drag n drop it says permission denied, must be root | 05:20 |
| CaptainMorgan | Shishire, how did you manually kill it? | 05:20 |
| SebNaitsabes | Shishire: utorrent hummmm why not just use ktorrent :) | 05:20 |
| Ganandorf | yes i have been using it for 3 weeks now | 05:20 |
| Odd-rationale | Brolli: neither does mine... ;) | 05:20 |
| bazhang | foool, shortcut from where | 05:20 |

| Shishire | SebNaitsabes, doesn't matter, I'm currently using utorrent | 05:21 |
| Ganandorf | and the hard drive is brand new | 05:21 |
| Brolli | the man | 05:21 |

| xu | alraune: Okay, Pasted as plaintext: http://paste.ubuntu.com/29498 | 05:21 |
| bazhang | foool, why do that? just right click add application launcher to panel | 05:21 |
| flower | yah, Shishire.. there are plenty of good torrent progs that are not needed to be run in wine | 05:21 |
| SebNaitsabes | Shish_: yeah good luck with that | 05:21 |
| toulouse | how can i use the *nix 'Write' command over my network? | 05:21 |
| pan02342 | y is it everytime i save in gedit i get another file that has ~ in the end? | 05:22 |
| CaptainMorgan | Shishire, agreed, no need to use Wine for this issue | 05:22 |
| alraune | xu: 3 min, brb | 05:22 |
| Odd-rationale | pan02342: for backup | 05:22 |
| SebNaitsabes | Shishire: well ktorrent is a native Linux app :) unlike utorrent | 05:22 |
| pan02342 | oh | 05:22 |
| foool | where do i do that? bazhang - sorry for my ignorance | 05:22 |
| bazhang | Ganandorf, when did this start messing up? (also type baz and hit <tab> to prepend my nick to message) | 05:22 |
| Shishire | regardless of what application I use, I still have an open port | 05:22 |
| Shishire | how do I close it? | 05:22 |
| ndo | alraune: so, is there some way to let it be mounted or no?:) | 05:22 |
| SebNaitsabes | CaptainMorgan: I think that might mean like back up file | 05:22 |
| luzai | Hi, I keep getting download error when I want install programs either from Add/Remove or Synaptic "Can not fetch blablabla". Seems that the download link is broken. Is it normal? | 05:22 |

| alraune | xu: little time, checking out the packetnames.. | 05:37 |
| unop | jezez, wow, never had the need to upgrade? i guess you will have to either upgrade or backport the kernel from a newer version of ubuntu (i.e. compile from source package) | 05:37 |
| toulouse | bazhang, im trying to send an 'instant message' if you will over the wifi from my mac to my ubuntu machine | 05:38 |
| ahorner | what package do i install for virtualbox? | 05:38 |
| toulouse | bazhang, or vice-versa | 05:38 |
| unop | !virtualbox | 05:38 |

| ahorner | thankls | 05:38 |
| luzai | someone please. I'm only a 2 days Ubuntu user. I almost can not download anything from Add/Remove or Synaptic. Looks like all links to those packages are broken. Am I doing something wrong? | 05:38 |
| crashsystems | @ahorner I would recommend that you download it from the virtualbox website | 05:38 |
| unop | jezez, 6.06 is not the latest -- that's over two years old :) | 05:38 |

| icenine | wine is kind of an ironic name, those vb apps get better with age. | 05:41 |

| ahorner | @crashsystems i just wish i had another nice sized monitor | 05:47 |
| icenine | deserteagle: that explains your problem, I think | 05:47 |
| icenine | deserteagle: because you've seelected OSS | 05:47 |
| alraune | xu: it's hard for me to guess what caused the missbehaviour, but a reconfiguration of any poss should maybe be done when the occur is deleted | 05:47 |
| thorny_sun | if i add an executable to /etc/init.d will it automatically get called when the computer reboots? | 05:47 |

| icenine | deserteagle: no, that link is no good | 05:47 |
| rafaelscj | icenine, My modem don't connect because it's for windows | 05:47 |

| crashsystems | @ahorner Do you have the cube set up? I've found that for me, it is almost as good as having two monitors. Way cooler looking, too. | 05:48 |
| icenine | rafaelscj: you gots 56k? | 05:48 |
| Kattman | Compiz ? how to I get the inside of the cube view ? | 05:48 |
| diego | tonyyarusso: But I don't think they have similar names | 05:48 |
| ahorner | yeah i set all the effects up | 05:48 |
| rafaelscj | icenine, so, i MUST edit /etc/resolv.confg manually | 05:48 |
| alraune | thorny_sun: or /etc/rc.local | 05:48 |
| ahorner | cube is nice, havent made use of it yet | 05:48 |
| Brolli | does fdisk x f change partition UUIDs? | 05:48 |

| kushal_12_27_200 | hello, I have a bin file and a cue file from DeVeDe. How can I burn it on a cd correctly? | 05:49 |
| tonyyarusso | diego: Ah, np. I'm trying to come up with a good starter document on the subject, but my mind is blanking atm. Possibly "man regex". Alternatively, you can pass each name on the line (eg. 'rm file1 file2 file3'), or put the names in file and pass that as input. | 05:49 |
| diego | tonyyarusso: Is there a way to use the graphic interface (as in KDE) for removing these files as root? | 05:49 |
| ahorner | natulis | 05:49 |
| icenine | deserteagle: hm, now that you changed the other apps all to alsa, try using vlc again. | 05:49 |
| Kattman | Bazhang: whats the name of the icon | 05:49 |
| deserteagle | icenine: grrr.... i restarted VLC and it works now.... to an extent | 05:49 |
| icenine | deserteagle: see :D alsa | 05:49 |
| diego | tonyyarusso: Nice! | 05:50 |
| icenine | deserteagle: it works because you changed the other driver to alsa. | 05:50 |
| xu | alraune: it's done, should I restart now? | 05:50 |
| deserteagle | icenine: plays fine on an .mp4 sticks like hell on an avi | 05:50 |
| rafaelscj | icenine, when chose dynamic DNS, the connection don't start | 05:50 |
| alraune | diego : could you specify the directory you want to delete ? | 05:50 |
| tonyyarusso | diego: Yes, although it's not preferred (primarily because if you forget and keep doing other things with that window open as root you can mess other things up) | 05:50 |
| bazhang | Kattman, icon? not sure what you mean there | 05:50 |
| alraune | xu : give it a try, though I think we... see then | 05:50 |
| majortoo1 | is there something special i have to do to the apache config to have it process .htaccess files? | 05:50 |

| ahorner | oh crap, i forgot i need to set up apache | 05:50 |
| icenine | rafaelscj:_call_ your _internet_ provider or cell phone company, and ask them for the IP of their dns server? why doesn't this work for you? | 05:51 |

| diego | alraune: yes | 05:51 |
| xu | alraune: can i restart from the command line? | 05:51 |
| alpha255 | dns stuff might give you a listing of their dns servers too | 05:51 |

| Shish_ | hey, my sound just stopped working on my laptop -- running hardy... shutdown and restarted -- still no sound... any ideas why? help please! | 06:49 |
| unop | h2i, by default ubuntu does not have the root account enabled -- and therefore you cannot log on directly as root .. log in normally and then become root (also a good practise) | 06:49 |
| Dethray | Does ubuntu come with compwiz? | 06:49 |
| coz_ | Mycah_, open a terminal tyep alsamixer and see if the card is recognized | 06:49 |
| Mycah_ | same here, Shish | 06:50 |
| Mycah_ | ok | 06:50 |
| Odd-rationale | SaEeDIRHA: you must enable Xforwarding on the server machine. and use the -X option on the client... | 06:50 |

| SaEeDIRHA | ok | 06:50 |
| Shish_ | Mycah_: any ideas on how to fix that? | 06:50 |

| kaudio | unop that deleted and show. but when i do cat ejemplo.sh the line "mal" continue there | 08:20 |

| unop | kaudio, if you are happy as to how it's removed the line. sed -i '/mal/d' filename | 08:20 |

| dragon | sudo mv something something? | 08:25 |
| Jenny338 | I have this HD video in mpeg4 format and I want to throw a watermark on it. Is there an app for ubuntu you'd recommend to do this? | 08:26 |
| AgentHeX | would it be better to have 3 active drives in RAID-1 or 2 active drives and 1 spare? what is the difference? can ubuntu spin down spare SCSI drives? | 08:26 |
| HELPME | how do i sudo like that | 08:26 |

| Walliski | Hi... Could anyone be nice to me and tell me what i should do when the upgrade to 8.04 has gotten stuck..? I tried to look at FAQs but didnt find anything... :S... | 08:29 |
| AgentHeX | eth01: is there a benefit to running 1 spare? does ubuntu spin down the disk until another one fails? | 08:29 |
| eth01 | ubuntu is crap at upgrades btw especially when it comes to the OS | 08:29 |
| eth01 | *sigh* | 08:29 |
| unop | Walliski, can you boot up into the install now? | 08:29 |
| Walliski | uhh? | 08:29 |
| HELPME | where is a shared folder | 08:29 |
| unop | Walliski, does the computer start up alright? | 08:30 |
| Walliski | uhh... i havent kinda rebooted it yet... | 08:30 |
| unop | Walliski, so how do you know the upgrade got stuck? | 08:31 |
| Walliski | i started upgrading... then fall asleep.. | 08:31 |
| AgentHeX | eth01: i suppose it's relevant to mention that i'm using ubuntu server. | 08:31 |
| Walliski | it has been at "About 3 minutes remaining" for about 10 min now? | 08:31 |
| unop | Walliski, i suggest you wait another 10, if it doesn't complete by then come back | 08:31 |
| Walliski | It was 2 hours ago i started upgrading... | 08:32 |
| Walliski | last upgrade took about 40.... (7.04-7.10 or whatever it was...) | 08:32 |
| Scott_Johnstone | Hey, I have a question.. Every drive I've mounted shows up on my desktop. If I try to delete the shortcut from the dekstop it gives me an error. Is there a way to set Ubuntu to not show the icons for mounted drives on the desktop? | 08:32 |
| unop | Walliski, 2 hours could be kind of reasonable. it depends on your setup, how much you have installed, etc. | 08:33 |
| FibonacciGold | Scott_Johnstone: Sure, press alt-F2 and then enter gconf-editor | 08:33 |
| === SoulSlayer is now known as anewbie | ||
| unop | Walliski, anyway, you've waited 2 hours, another 10 minutes isn't going to kill | 08:33 |

| coz_ | Mycah_, mm | 08:45 |

| Blaqlight | unop: isn't that a bit high? | 08:47 |

| Smegzor | when my pc has been up for days (like now) my internet access seems to slow down and fail a lot. A reboot fixes it, but I'd like to be able to fix it without rebooting. Whats the best way to fix this without rebooting? What daemon needs to be restarted? | 08:48 |
| coz_ | Mycah_, that looks fine although the volumes are up high :) and also if you use the right arrow in that window it should scroll to the right and if you type h with alsamixer open it will bring up a short help menu | 08:48 |

| Blaqlight | so the rest of the processes are system/root? | 08:59 |
| newb | help :( | 08:59 |
| Scott_Johnstone | I'd like to have a directory in my home dir that acts as a container for links and scripts, so that I can just hit ALT+F2 and type (name of link) then hit enter to launch the app that link points to | 09:00 |
| Walliski | DistroJockey: Few errors popped up... else the install is working... :) | 09:00 |
| AaronH | just ask your question newb | 09:00 |
| Scott_Johnstone | (so I can type pg instead of pidgin, for example) | 09:00 |
| DistroJockey_ | Walliski, yeah, probably to be expected those errors. Good to hear :) | 09:00 |
| andjons | Scott_Johnstone, most people use aliases | 09:00 |
| Scott_Johnstone | where would I look to add that path to the environment variables? | 09:00 |

| Scott_Johnstone | Blaqlight: precisely | 09:01 |
| unop | Blaqlight, yea, though I have a few more apps running with fluxbox at startup .. the rest are either running as root or someother system user | 09:01 |
| Scott_Johnstone | Blaqlight: the dir is ~/.link/ | 09:01 |
| bullgard4 | ":~$ sudo ddcprobe; ...; screensize: 33 21; ..." What do the numbers 33 and 21 mean? | 09:01 |
| Blaqlight | unop: if 179 processes were running in windoze it would be quite a freaky and slow experience. | 09:02 |
| Scott_Johnstone | Blaqlight: but I'm not sure where the equivalent of the PATH="" would be located in Ubuntu | 09:02 |
| Scott_Johnstone | (PATH="" being the windows equivalent of what I'm looking for in Ubu) | 09:02 |
| newb | AaronH: why? | 09:02 |
| unop | Blaqlight, don't do that - you can't compare windows with Gnu/Linux - they're two different workhorses | 09:02 |
| Blaqlight | unop: I know. | 09:03 |

| newb | i can't even kill it :( | 09:34 |
| newb | help :( | 09:34 |
| ikonia | newb: what motherboard is it ? | 09:34 |
| newb | ikonia: Intel 945GCNL | 09:35 |
| ikonia | newb: first thing to do, have you tried the init script shutdown to stop it | 09:35 |
| newb | ikonia: no. i don't know how to do that. can u direct me please? | 09:36 |
| newb | :) | 09:36 |
| ikonia | newb: one moment | 09:36 |
| ikonia | newb: I've not got a kde box so I can't see the correct init script that launches it | 09:38 |

| jeeves__ | ikonia, ok, now I'm getting an error of cn=Manager,dc=your-domain,dc=com from webmin | 09:40 |
| newb | ikonia: oh :( | 09:40 |
| ikonia | jeeves__: webmin is not supported, and it's not in the ubuntu repo's so it looks like when you've set it up yourself you've not linked the correct perl modules into your ldap root server | 09:40 |
| newb | ikonia: u think this is a DUAL boot issue? some ppl claim it is | 09:40 |
| jeeves__ | ikonia, ok, thanks | 09:40 |
| ikonia | newb: I can't see how it is a dual boot issue, as nothing windows does can effect ubuntu and vice/versa | 09:41 |
| arcadjos | kurde nikt tam nie odpowiada ;/ | 09:41 |
| newb | ikonia: weird. i just rebooted the machine and this disappears! :( | 09:42 |
| ikonia | newb: something worth doing is "grep -i kacpid /etc/init.d/*" | 09:42 |
| ikonia | newb: it's bascilly a hardware/power saving daemon. I've just read a varity of bugs with it | 09:42 |
| ikonia | newb: not bugs, sorry shouldn't say that, but configuration specific issues for hardware | 09:43 |
| newb | ikonia: works perfectly fine on my Dell laptop and my really old P4 desktop | 09:43 |
| ikonia | newb: as I said "hardware specific" | 09:43 |
| newb | ikonia: weird i am facing issues only with intel mother boards | 09:44 |
| ikonia | newb: as I said "hardware specific" | 09:44 |
| ikonia | newb: am I not making it clear that issues with this daemon or normally related to specific hardwre configuration | 09:44 |
| newb | ikonia: it just hangs my entire system! | 09:45 |
| ikonia | newb: am I not making it clear that issues with this daemon or normally related to specific hardwre configuration | 09:45 |
| newb | ikonia: i got it... so i need to figure out how to disable it basically | 09:45 |
| newb | ikonia: u think i will have issues without it? | 09:45 |
| ikonia | newb: which is why I've told you to check through the init scripts | 09:45 |
| ikonia | newb: it's a power managment daemon, I can't see any issues | 09:45 |
| newb | ikonia: the processor won't burn up right? the entire speed control of the fan etc is done by the BIOS i hope | 09:46 |
| ikonia | newb: the processor won't burn up, as your basiclly disabling the OS's ability to interact with the power saving features on the bios | 09:46 |

| ikonia | newb: use the command I gave you to find the correct init script | 09:47 |
| ikonia | zetheroo: what sort of area of "where to start" | 09:47 |
| newb | ikonia: ok | 09:47 |
| ikonia | zetheroo: what sort of area of "where to start" | 09:49 |
| zetheroo | ikonia: the app I want to make would be a frontend with a library behind it .... and the user can access the files in a tree-like format .... and open the text files therein | 09:49 |
| ikonia | zetheroo: yes but where are you stuck ? | 09:50 |
| zetheroo | ikonia: well... someone was telling me that for Windows there are programs for this which are already "made" but just have to be customised for your particulars | 09:51 |
| zetheroo | ikonia: is there such a thing for Linux? | 09:51 |
| ikonia | zetheroo: thats not how writing an application works | 09:51 |
| ikonia | zetheroo: there are specific libraries to use and link against (like windows and MFC and STL for example) | 09:51 |
| Lux01 | Hi, I'm running Ubuntu 8.04 64bit and installed VLC from the repos. Whenever I try to play a video or DVD the colours are all wrong, what's white is green, what's blue is red etc... I tried the other players and they're doing the same | 09:51 |

| simi | hi i have kubuntu hardy and i made a bootchart capture http://img70.imageshack.us/img70/3983/hardy200807231yw8.png , any ideea how can i improve boot performance at the 50s it seams i have a period of silence? | 09:52 |
| zetheroo | ikonia: ok .. well I do not know any program languages ... which is why this sounded very possible for me to do .... since it required little to no coding | 09:52 |
| ikonia | zetheroo: no - thats not possible, you can't make an application then. | 09:53 |

| ikonia | simi: there doesn't appear to be a pause at 50s - lots seems to be going on | 09:54 |
| simi | ikonia: is not a pause but CPU is low and disk IO sems zero, and i am nort expert in reading bootchart charts | 09:56 |
| ikonia | simi: me neither, just looking through the chart though looking for anythinb obvious, 50 seconds seems a reasonably long boot time | 09:57 |

| cj_ | could somebody help me out with a question please? I have a test machine which i use for messing about with various different os's. I would like to install windows and '2' linux operating systems. I currently have 1 windows and also 1 Ubuntu linux on the machine. But i wish to install another linux os onto the same machine. What is the easiest way to do this? | 10:16 |
| anewbie | can you tell me where canifidn the busid of my video card | 10:16 |
| anewbie | ? | 10:16 |
| jussi01 | !info devede| DTOPS1 | 10:16 |
| ubottu | dtops1: devede (source: devede): program to create video DVDs. In component multiverse, is optional. Version 3.6-0.0ubuntu1 (hardy), package size 1128 kB, installed size 2592 kB | 10:16 |
| Peace_Keeper | Alrex: I haven't, nice work, though. | 10:16 |
| ikonia | cj_: the easy way to mangage multiple linux installs is to a.) have a seperate shared /boot partition b.) only allow the FIRST linux install to install grub - don't let the subsiquent installs install grub | 10:16 |
| nibbler_ | cj_, just install to a free partition, use same boot partition if you use one. make a copy of this before | 10:16 |
| DTOPS1 | kk its installin :) | 10:16 |
| lekev | Hi all, anyone know a commad-line tool where i can read the Tags of a .wma-File? | 10:17 |
| nibbler_ | cj_, and remember, for /boot ubuntu sort of ignores the option "dont format - keep data" | 10:17 |
| === DBLobster is now known as U09526 | ||
| cj_ | how would i actually manage the seperate boot partition? like add and take away os's in the future. Would i use ubuntu to do this, or windows? | 10:18 |
| ikonia | cj_: there is "tool" to do this | 10:18 |
| nibbler_ | cj_, use grub, and edit /boot/grub/menu.lst manually | 10:18 |
| ikonia | cj_: when you install a linux OS it asks you how to partition and mount your disk | 10:18 |
| ikonia | cj_: do you understand that part of it ? | 10:19 |
| DTOPS1 | which one do i select " only convert film files to complimant mpeg- files" or create disk structure or create and iso or bin/cue image ready to burn to a disk | 10:19 |
| cj_ | im a total noob on linux. Ive always used windows lol. Ill research grub :D | 10:19 |
| alrex021 | Peace_Keeper: strange, but hey....I just have to open my music player first and then firefox, then all works. No big deal :) | 10:19 |
| ikonia | cj_: I didn't say research grub, do you understand the section in linux installs where it asks you to partition your disks ? | 10:19 |
| cj_ | i was replying to nibbler | 10:20 |
| nibbler_ | ah ok. | 10:20 |
| Peace_Keeper | Alrex: Unless an Audio playing flash applet etc. is opened in firefox, it won't activate the sound, so they will play nice some of the time. | 10:20 |
| cj_ | and im not sure ikonia | 10:20 |
| DTOPS1 | which one do i select " only convert film files to complimant mpeg- files" or create disk structure or create and iso or bin/cue image ready to burn to a disk. | 10:20 |
| cj_ | ill have a look :), im presuming it will be on the install screen? | 10:20 |
| ikonia | cj_: ok - well thats the key, the file systems on linux are very different in layout to windows. /boot is normally a directory off the / file system, however for your install and subsiquent installs you want /boot to be a partition that is shared between all your linux installs so that it holdss a single menu.lst as nibbler_ has suggested and all your boot data for all the linux installs | 10:21 |
| bex_ | does anyone know how i can password protect a data cd i am burnign with k3b? | 10:22 |
| bex_ | *data dvd | 10:22 |
| cj_ | so basically, the /boot partition can be for all os's? | 10:22 |

| mgolisch | -shows | 10:23 |
| cj_ | im not actually using windows much on my laptop anymore, BUT i need it just incase | 10:23 |
| nibbler_ | cj_, the first linux install, if you chose ubuntu at least, will detect your windows and keep it bootable | 10:24 |
| cj_ | yes, that is the case that i have now. Ive got windows as my first install, and then ubuntu as my second install. Its worked ok, i can boot to windows and also linux. For the third linux, would i not install the grub? | 10:24 |
| cj_ | and just add it to the grub using ubtunu? | 10:25 |
| Flannel | cj_: Thats probably easiest, yes. | 10:25 |
| nibbler_ | cj_, just intsall it without installing grub, so it wont at least fuck your system | 10:25 |

| ActionParsnip | NET||abuse: please expand | 10:29 |
| ActionParsnip | bex_: encrypter for what? | 10:29 |
| NET||abuse | ActionParsnip: have a debian install for xen server, We are looking to shrink down the lvm, went and did 1 full disk size lvm, so we have to boot into livecd to shrink the file system and the lvm. | 10:30 |
| bex_ | NeoSanity[Linux] mentioned it\ | 10:30 |
| NeoSanity[Linux] | dw its a decrypter | 10:30 |
| NeoSanity[Linux] | I thought it was an encrypter too, my mistake | 10:30 |
| NET||abuse | ActionParsnip: just tried with a 7.10 livecd, just what i had to hand, doesn't seem to have device-mapper module in the livecd kernel, so just wondering if anyone knew when if at all, it was added to a livecd kernel? | 10:31 |

| Vezir | ActionParsnip: setting the bios setting to agp made neither the onboard video nor the pci card work | 10:53 |

| jo_e | yes, i am booting ubuntu off it now | 10:58 |
| negge | okay | 10:58 |
| jo_e | negge: but I want to reinstall since the update messed things up | 10:58 |
| prymal | jo_e: no issues bud... i'm booting from sata | 10:58 |
| negge | jo_e: how have you managed to install ubuntu on it now if you can't do it again? | 10:58 |
| jo_e | negge: i installed the last version and updated to the latest, but it messed things up and now i can't update my kernel so i want to reinstall, but it doesn't see my disk | 10:59 |

| ActionParsnip | then take it back | 11:00 |
| negge | jo_e: a friend once had the same problem. it turned out he had a SATA cable to SATA1 which wasn't connected to any disc and the actual disc on the SATA2 port. Removing the unused cable and putting the disc on the first sata port sovled the problem | 11:00 |
| ActionParsnip | if ati made drivers itd work | 11:00 |
| ActionParsnip | but ati sucks | 11:01 |
| Guillaum3 | yeah, get a nvidia | 11:01 |
| Guillaum3 | all the way | 11:01 |

| xnv | Vezir: Where are you reading that it's not supported? | 11:01 |
| wols_ | Vezir: you are wrong. ubuntu supports the 9250 out of the box | 11:01 |
| negge | Ati, Atheros, Adobe etc. | 11:01 |
| jo_e | negge: i only have one sata cable in there and it's attached to the disk. do you think it would help to try to plug it into another sata port? | 11:02 |

| ActionParsni1 | negge never sudo gedit | 11:07 |
| negge | maybe I missed something now... | 11:07 |
| ActionParsni1 | negge: its gksudo gedit | 11:07 |
| chuy_max | ActionParsni1, why not? | 11:07 |
| negge | ActionParsni1: yeah I know, it came there by mistake | 11:08 |
| negge | you don't need to use sudo nor gksudo to read af ile | 11:08 |

| Vezir | there's nothing in this file | 11:08 |
| wols_ | negge: sudo gedit won't work either | 11:08 |
| ActionParsni1 | chuy_max: it doesnt set the environment up properly for gui apps and can destroy ownership rigts etc | 11:08 |
| koshari | wols_ it may do 3d but its hopeless with compiz | 11:08 |
| negge | wols_: okay | 11:08 |
| wols_ | koshari: that's the fault of the card since it's too slow | 11:08 |
| chuy_max | oh, you are right, thanks for remembering me ActionParsni1 | 11:08 |
| ActionParsni1 | chuy_max: you can technically se gksudo for them all | 11:09 |
| ActionParsni1 | chuy_max: makes it easier | 11:09 |

| wols_ | there is no xorg.0.log on your system | 11:14 |
| bazhang | san_, if you want to find out wireless do lspci in the terminal and tell us the chipset (the one line) and we can tell what to install | 11:14 |
| Vezir | yeah there is | 11:14 |
| wols_ | Vezir: that file is the Xorg.0.log | 11:14 |
| ActionParsni1 | smaug42_: should be sudo dpkg -r foo bar app prog | 11:14 |

| bazhang | san_, no worries :) | 11:16 |
| smaug42_ | ActionParsni1: right, but that removes one package... i have multiple packages... say.. 30 or 40 all with a common prefix I want to remove. i know I could do it using the GUI, but I need/want to do it from CLI | 11:16 |

| chuy_max | Vezir, usually you dont need to | 11:18 |

| negge | to remove all of them | 11:18 |
| LowenHeart | im a new user... so im having problems using this new OS | 11:18 |

| Vezir | i don't have permission to save this file? | 11:19 |
| LowenHeart | i just did | 11:19 |
| negge | smaug42_: apt comes from Debian so it's quite safe to assume | 11:19 |
| negge | although not absolutely necessary I think | 11:19 |
| LowenHeart | but they didnt have drivers for ubuntu | 11:19 |
| chuy_max | Vezir, you need root permission | 11:19 |

| nubuntu | Toshiba Techra M1 laptop - | 11:38 |
| Blazr | well,i was removing packages for printers and cd burners | 11:38 |
| Peace_Keeper | Blazr: if you have synaptic, can you reinstall network manager, won't it reestablish dependencies? | 11:38 |
| Blazr | i knew what they were doing | 11:38 |

| hillwolf | hi | 11:40 |

| san_ | hi | 11:40 |
| Blazr | so nobody knows what package i need to reinstall? | 11:40 |
| san_ | Blazr: reinstall what? | 11:41 |
| bazhang | Blazr, you kept a list of what you removed? | 11:41 |
| Blazr | network manager included with xfce | 11:41 |
| ariqs | there are too many dang compression types. Why do people have to use .7z when there are a million of already supported compressions | 11:41 |
| Blazr | thats the thing i didnt lol | 11:41 |
| achadwick | ariqs: file-roller (the regular GNOME archive opener) will do that for you if you install p7zip-full | 11:41 |
| ariqs | thanks | 11:41 |
| koshari | Blazr if you used synaptic to remove the packages, go back and check the history and see if there are any networking packages fo may reinstall. | 11:42 |
| Myrtti | I'd take a wild guess and reinstall network-manager (and perhaps network-manager-gnome) | 11:42 |
| |Dreams| | if i create a seperate homepartition how big should they both be? | 11:42 |

| * achadwick appends a "... hopefully" to that assertion to ariqs. I've not tried this, but it is listed on the Recommends line in the package details. | 11:42 | |
| san_ | ariqs: because we use what we like | 11:42 |
| |Dreams| | i have a 230gb hard drive | 11:43 |

| ariqs | san: so tell me, what does .7z do that a more common compression type doesn't? | 11:44 |
| san_ | drenz: you need universe repos, and search for restricted codecs | 11:44 |
| Blazr | if you install vlc fromsynaptic mp3 codecs are installed | 11:44 |

| ubottu | hillwolf: To install a Java runtime/interpreter on Ubuntu, look at https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Java - For the Sun Java runtime install sun-java6-jre from the !Multiverse repository | 11:46 |
| koshari | drenz: for mp3 playback in amarok you need xineextracodecs, in totem you need gstreamer ugly or bad, in vlc the packages should be default. | 11:46 |
| ariqs | san: clearly it can't be a lossy compression :P | 11:46 |
| drenz | koshari: on movie player ? | 11:46 |
| |Dreams| | ok then how do i know what flavour i want | 11:47 |

| koshari | drenz just open synaptic and search for mp3 and see if any gstreamer ones come up, | 11:49 |
| v3nd3tta | I've tried with Evolution and Thunderbird | 11:50 |
| koshari | |Dreams|: if you have that much room take 20 gig, it will give you plenty of room to groe into, and also store a lot of data | 11:50 |
| |Dreams| | okie | 11:50 |
| bazhang | |Dreams|, easiest would be to install ubuntu-desktop then !puregnome it, and add back any kde apps you wish like amarok etc | 11:50 |
| DJCMay | i've got a problem. after installing ubuntu and grub on the computer, windows stops with error 0x000000ed (unmountable boot volume). i believe, there is a problem the the mbr, but i don't wanna fix it via windows, because i don't know how to start ubuntu afterwards | 11:51 |
| |Dreams| | that would be all clean and bug free yes? | 11:51 |

| Smegzor1 | a while ago i built a kernel, but I didn't keep it. these look like they were part of that to me. | 11:55 |
| bazhang | Smegzor1, randomly deleting things is never a good idea | 11:55 |
| infornography | anybody know why that would happen? | 11:55 |
| bazhang | infornography, with or without compiz | 11:56 |
| infornography | with compiz | 11:56 |
| Smegzor1 | bazhang: but these are clearly source files | 11:56 |
| bazhang | infornography, try disabling with one click (fusion-icon) and try again | 11:56 |

| bazhang | Smegzor1, you are free to do what you wish; too many come in here after randomly deleting things and usually no easy fixes to come back from that | 11:57 |
| infornography | any work around so I can have both compiz and play movies? | 11:57 |
| bazhang | infornography, best ask in #compiz-fusion ; there are some known bugs with a certain driver | 11:58 |

| infornography | ok, thanks | 11:58 |

| bazhang | lakis1982, clamav; no need for spyware stuff though a firewall is wise | 11:58 |
| bazhang | lakis1982, is this behind a router? | 11:59 |

| drenz | how to remove directory on ubntu? | 12:14 |
| drenz | in terminal | 12:14 |
| cd | drenz: rmdir | 12:14 |
| Xecuter | erUSUL, i dunno ^^, thats why i'm asking :P | 12:14 |
| cd | drenx it has to be empty first | 12:14 |
| bazhang | gluer, best to use gksudo for gui apps | 12:14 |
| DJCMay | Toznoshio: thx | 12:15 |
| gluer | bahang: why? | 12:15 |
| gluer | z | 12:15 |
| bazhang | !gksudo | 12:15 |
| ubottu | If you need to run graphical applications as root, use « gksudo », as it will set up the environment more appropriately. Never just use "sudo"! (See http://psychocats.net/ubuntu/graphicalsudo to know why) | 12:15 |
| bazhang | gluer^^ | 12:15 |

| Flynsarmy | Sometimes when i drag-drop files in nautilus it lags for a while then greyes out and a dialog pops up asking me if i want to retry, skip or cancel. Is this common?

| cd | drenz the directory needs to be empty first | 12:16 |
| drenz | but how to delete all | 12:17 |
| cd | just use the command rm -rf instead of rmdir if you want to remove the directory and its contents | 12:17 |

| cd | that work ok drenz? | 12:18 |

| ariqs | if I ever write something for linux that's useful, i'm going to pay back all the other devs for their junk and make it annoying to use as well :p | 12:18 |
| gluer | bazhang: so running gksudo is the correct way? | 12:18 |
| bazhang | gluer, for gui stuff yes :) | 12:19 |
| cha0n1x | erUSUL: The image is of the entire hard-drive - how would I find out the correct offset? as I said I've used fls and the offset of 63 was correct. What would be different in mount? | 12:19 |

| amews_aj | Am I totally wrong, or is ubuntu still very time demanding in installing a lot of stuff? Take a look at this guide (6 pages!! for a "simple" theme). http://www.howtoforge.com/mac4lin_make_linux_look_like_a_mac | 12:33 |
| mole112 | Anywho anyone knows a way to run a script after the resuming from suspend after the user has logged on | 12:33 |
| mole112 | ? | 12:33 |
| chriswr | how do i install a .bin file? | 12:33 |
| jindal | mole112: probably /etc/acpi/resume.d/ | 12:34 |
| mole112 | nope | 12:34 |
| mole112 | this will do it prior to the gnome run | 12:34 |
| chriswr | how do i install a .bin file? | 12:35 |
| mole112 | I need to run it after the user have logged on in gnome | 12:35 |
| jindal | ohh .. don't know about gnome .. kde has a .Autostart | 12:35 |
| mole112 | chriswr it depends on the bin file | 12:35 |
| dmacnutt | amews_aj: doesn't seem all that "simple" | 12:36 |
| mole112 | jindal gnome has .autosart as well but gnome doesn't run the autostart script after resuming from suspend | 12:36 |
| amews_aj | dmacnutt: You can get themes for windows which includes just as many changes, in a simple .exe installation file | 12:36 |
| amews_aj | Why so complicated to do on ubuntu | 12:36 |
| jindal | where are the experts? :) | 12:37 |
| mole112 | I can mostly help | 12:37 |

| jindal | my sound problem? (above) | 12:38 |
| mole112 | What is the problem | 12:38 |
| koshari | amews_aj thats a little more than a theme, its a theme, custom panel and window decorator . the equiv in windows would be running a new shell. | 12:38 |

| dmacnutt | amews_aj: to weed out the complainers :) someone could probably build a package of some sort, but the differences between the linux distros would make such a thing big and unwieldy | 12:38 |
| w_ | jaki problem? | 12:38 |
| mole112 | jindal do you know the sound card | 12:39 |
| dmacnutt | just buy a mac :) they are decent enough and you can change themes easy | 12:39 |
| amews_aj | But this is the case with a lot of stuff on ubuntu, cmds, cmds, cmds, cmds | 12:39 |
| mole112 | I think its intel hda | 12:39 |
| amews_aj | dmacnutt: I'd like to try a mac before buying it, unfortunately, that is not possible | 12:40 |
| Pici | amews_aj: Themes are very easy to install, the particular url you linked to is not just a theme, it replaces a lot of 'core' gnome things. | 12:40 |

| koshari | amews_aj how do you ping or get your ipconfig on windows? | 12:41 |
| amews_aj | Pici: I will, but it just annoys me, I like to try out new stuff, but ubuntu is like annoying me every time. Every time I boot it up to do something, I spend hours following guides to make something work, then it never really worked, and I shutdown the pc. | 12:41 |
| jindal | mole112: any link or reason? | 12:41 |
| amews_aj | koshari: cmd yes, but I never use commandline to install stuff | 12:41 |
| dmacnutt | amews_aj: you are expecting it to be like windows, and it never will be | 12:41 |
| vierranet | amews_aj how do you ping or get your ipconfig on windows? USE IFCONFIG | 12:41 |
| mole112 | jindal : The thing that happens is that externall speakers override the system ones | 12:42 |
| mole112 | jindal : so when you plug the ex speakers the internal ones stop working | 12:42 |
| koshari | amews_aj you doont have to, ever heard of synaptic, its just a lot of the time its easier to press alt f and paste a command in | 12:42 |
| Pici | amews_aj: If you want to discuss this, the best place would be #ubuntu-offtopic, however, if you have a specific support question, go ahead and ask here. | 12:42 |
| amews_aj | Please copy a file from there to there on ubuntu, sorry permission denied, you have to use sudo cp commands. Windows would ask you for verification, and so will mac. | 12:43 |

| Rocky_IV | I was running Vista Ultimate with the lastest beta software apps | 13:05 |
| Toznoshio | Luke7711, look under /dev/disk/by-uuid | 13:05 |
| ariqs | Vezir: that depends, the people that pirate and then end up being sued for thousands probably don't feel so smart | 13:05 |
| Rocky_IV | But i got sick and tired of nagging Windowz updates | 13:06 |
| koshari | db92 audacity | 13:06 |
| ariqs | Vezir: there is also the moral issue. Pirating isn't exactly a "smart" thing | 13:06 |
| db92 | how can i config recording with oss? <> both through microphone and recording sound from stuff i find on the internet etc. | 13:06 |
| lesergi | how can I set xgd-open command?? i want to use firefox instead konqueror | 13:06 |
| econobeing | gluer: empty. aim? | 13:06 |
| Vezir | ariqs, it's in my blood, what can i say. i was raised to be a rulebreaker. | 13:06 |
| gluer | econobeing: that was my point | 13:06 |
| gluer | lol | 13:06 |
| Raz0R | if i just deleted a load of stuff as root, where will it have gone? | 13:07 |
| Raz0R | in the trash? | 13:07 |
| econobeing | D: not fair to mess with a drunk person | 13:07 |
| Rocky_IV | I feel much more free using Linux | 13:07 |
| ariqs | vezir: I pirate too, but I'm not deluded enough to think it has anything to do with intelligence. | 13:07 |
| koshari | db92 use pulseaudio | 13:07 |
| Vezir | someone's high and mighty | 13:07 |
| gluer | econobeing: well im an alcoholic, not fair to mention drinking to me either | 13:07 |
| gluer | lol | 13:07 |
| Vezir | i guess you could say gthat what i said was too though | 13:07 |
| Rocky_IV | plux no more antivirus software is required.........and all the maintenance time it takes | 13:07 |
| db92 | koshari, if pulseaudio is compatible with all the hardware oss is, then that could work | 13:07 |
| econobeing | gluer: why? wanna drink? | 13:08 |
| db92 | koshari, else, im stuck with oss :PP | 13:08 |
| gordonjcp | db92: uhm, oss is dead | 13:08 |
| db92 | gordonjcp, hy nice to let me know | 13:08 |
| koshari | db92: pulseaudio is a layer , so you could use the oss utput and route it through pulseaudio | 13:08 |
| gordonjcp | db92: it was superseded about a decade ago | 13:08 |
| db92 | gordonjcp, if you are in the mood for further oss vs alsa debating you can try adding x-fi support to it and then we'll compare :P | 13:08 |
| Rocky_IV | I can do everything in Ubuntu I did in microsoft | 13:08 |
| gordonjcp | db92: bleah, x-fi, get a real sound card | 13:08 |
| Rocky_IV | No product keys required | 13:09 |
| db92 | gordonjcp, my card is none of your business :Pp | 13:09 |
| econobeing | i was able to do everything i was able to in MS | 13:09 |
| koshari | Rocky_IV i cant ....yet | 13:09 |
| econobeing | but i'll be damned if it was a pain in the ass | 13:09 |
| db92 | koshari, sounds like tech jargon to the unexperienced | 13:09 |
| Rocky_IV | No addware dedirecting my Browser | 13:09 |
| Rocky_IV | its great | 13:09 |
| econobeing | enjoying me some ubuntu right now | 13:09 |
| gordonjcp | db92: seriously, the x-fi cards are very very badly supported in Linux, and aren't that good anyway | 13:09 |
| koshari | db92 http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/PulseAudio | 13:09 |
| Rocky_IV | I installed skype in Ubuntu | 13:10 |
| db92 | good to let me know, now i need some practical solutions to the problem at hand :/ | 13:10 |
| econobeing | that was one of my major problems, skype | 13:10 |
| cwillu | koshari, he's referring to actual oss for hardware support, not the need to support legacy apps that only support oss | 13:10 |
| cwillu | afaict | 13:10 |
| econobeing | wifi was #1 though | 13:10 |
| Rocky_IV | so this really helps with communications for Team Leaders of my personal web site | 13:10 |
| Luke7711 | Toznoshio: got it, thx | 13:11 |
| econobeing | i've been having a hell of a time with wifi on my other laptop | 13:11 |
| Rocky_IV | I'll give you the Skype version | 13:11 |
| econobeing | it can detect the wifi card i have on linux and windows. but it can't use it... | 13:11 |
| gordonjcp | db92: practical solution? go to the nearest computer shop, spend a fiver on the first soundcard that comes to hand, take it home, fit it, and enjoy working sound | 13:11 |
| db92 | :\ | 13:11 |
| Rocky_IV | skype-debian_2.0.0.72-1_i386,deb | 13:12 |

| econobeing | cwilu: broadcom | 13:15 |
| econobeing | that's for my dell, which i actually got working. my toshiba i never got working | 13:15 |
| Rocky_IV | I had one major problem.........The integrated video card in my PC crashed Ubuntu Hardy 8.10 as soon as I logged on | 13:15 |
| Rocky_IV | So to simplify things.......... I installed Ubuntu Gutsy | 13:16 |
| cwillu | Rockj, 8.10? | 13:16 |
| cwillu | econobeing, which broadcom? | 13:16 |
| Rocky_IV | Opps sorry its onboard integrated video | 13:16 |
| cwillu | run that command, and tell me bcm**** | 13:16 |
| cspacematrix | hey folks | 13:16 |
| econobeing | uhh <_< how do i check? (sorry drunk) | 13:16 |
| Rocky_IV | ATI crap | 13:16 |
| cwillu | <cwillu> ("lspci | grep -i net" should tell you) | 13:17 |
| cwillu | Rocky_IV, you meant 8.10, or 8.04? | 13:17 |
| cwillu | you deserve no sympathy if you had problems with 8.10 :p | 13:17 |
| econobeing | bmc4311 airforce 54g | 13:17 |
| Rocky_IV | Yea I guess its 8.04 | 13:17 |
| cwillu | econobeing, install b43-fwcutter via synaptic | 13:18 |
| econobeing | i dunno what i did | 13:18 |
| Rocky_IV | I'm using Using 7.10 | 13:18 |
| Rocky_IV | Gutsy | 13:18 |
| econobeing | i installed ubuntu a few months ago, the newest one, and it works | 13:18 |
| drtorres | Hey. anybody who knows to configure wifi of acer laptop | 13:18 |
| adi_smg | hay | 13:18 |
| econobeing | i think it came with a functionality for "restricted drivers" or something | 13:18 |
| econobeing | i gave it the drivers and it worked | 13:19 |
| === adi_smg is now known as Ica_cute | ||
| cwillu | econobeing, okay. b43-fwcutter will get nearly any broadcom device working properly | 13:19 |
| cspacematrix | i saw something which amazed me alittle, my system is AMD 64 turion 1.9GHz but i installed a 32bit gutsy and when i looked at cat /proc/cpuinfo, it's says my cpu speed is 800 | 13:19 |
| cspacematrix | is that normal? | 13:19 |
| cwillu | without ndiswrapper | 13:19 |
| Rocky_IV | Well the stupid ATI Xpress integrated onboard chip crashes Hardy 8.04 | 13:19 |
| econobeing | it may have used ndiswrapper | 13:19 |
| econobeing | i'm used to using ndiswrapper | 13:19 |
| drtorres | I used ubuntu 8.04. my wifi doesn't work | 13:20 |
| econobeing | but i did it with some sort of point+click interface | 13:20 |
| Rocky_IV | I didn't bother with a work-around due to time restrictions | 13:20 |
| cwillu | drtorres, open a terminal, type "lspci|grep -i net", and tell me what chipset the wireless is | 13:20 |
| econobeing | 7.10 i had to do a bunch of cmd stuf to get it to work. that's actually what i was used to. but i got it going on 8.04 | 13:20 |
| econobeing | i think it used fwcutter instead of ndiswrapper? i dunno | 13:21 |
| cwillu | Rocky_IV, wasn't just the livecd that crashed under 8.04 was it? | 13:21 |
| GOJU1 | :D | 13:21 |
| GOJU1 | siema xD | 13:21 |
| GOJU1 | ssss | 13:21 |
| cwillu | econobeing, b43-fwcutter is what you'd want to use, but ya | 13:21 |
| Rocky_IV | I even tried the 64 bit version of Hardy.....Still crashes video instantly taking me back to login window | 13:21 |
| cspacematrix | hello? people, anyone? | 13:21 |
| iren | hiiiiiiiiii | 13:21 |
| cspacematrix | why the ubuntu shows my system's cpu speed very low? | 13:22 |
| Pici | cspacematrix: It depends whether the CPU was under load or not. | 13:22 |
| Rocky_IV | hello spacemetrix | 13:22 |
| econobeing | IIRC pre 7.10 people were whining about fwcutter cause it only allowed a/b speeds on a g connection | 13:22 |
| cspacematrix | no it was free of load | 13:22 |
| cspacematrix | i installed a 64bit debian and speed was correct, 1.9GHz | 13:22 |
| cspacematrix | but this ubuntu shows 800Mhz | 13:22 |
| drtorres | Atheros Communications Inc. AR242x 802.11abg Wireless PCI Express Adapter (rev 01) | 13:22 |

| Rocky_IV | I'll have 30% more time to be productive.......cause network download speed is much better in UNIX | 13:24 |

| ubottu | sebastian: Compiz-Fusion (and the older Compiz and Beryl) are window managers that employ the "composite" extension of X to draw windows using graphics cards' 3D hardware. They can additionally provide "desktop special effects" (such as the "cube") by means of plug-ins. Join #compiz-fusion for help and support with advanced features.

| skyfire | RazoR: have you tried sudo /root/.Trash? | 13:29 |
| Soopa | cwillu: I want to mount an iso so I can use a windows installer with wine | 13:29 |

| Toznoshio | Soopa, also if you are comfortable using the command line, there is a quicker option | 13:30 |
| Rocky_IV | Hurray ....... No more Vista crashes | 13:30 |
| cwillu | Soopa, could just extract the files, otherwise, "sudo mount /path/to/file.iso /location/to/mount/it iso9660 -o loop" will do it | 13:30 |
| Soopa | Toznoshio: yeah, command line would be better actually | 13:30 |
| skyfire | anyone knows how I can update the gpg key for hardy? I can't update cause of a gpg error? | 13:31 |

| Rocky_IV | I guess they both use the same base engine in UNIX | 13:37 |
| Raz0R | and ive got to .local | 13:37 |
| skyfire | Rocky: they will as long as the libraries need are installed. | 13:37 |
| Pici | Rocky_IV: They're different. Some people like KDE, others like Gnome. They use different graphics toolkits to draw UI elements. Nearly all programs can be used in either DE (Desktop Environment) | 13:37 |

| Muntrue | nickrud, axenory I could recommend wirelessassistant (sudo apt-get install wirelessassistant) sometimes that works wonders for wireless | 15:19 |
| nickrud | axenory I've got to get ready for work shortly, so don't have a lot of time | 15:19 |
| bazhang | ubuntuless, you should contact the emc2 people then; no idea who they are | 15:19 |
| nickrud | axenory my first troubleshooting step would be tail -f /var/log/messages in a terminal, then try the connection again. You will see some messages about the connection attempt, you may see some clues | 15:20 |
| ubuntuless | ok, but at this point all I'm doing is a standard Ubuntu install. Should Drake not work on a P4 Dell? | 15:20 |

| Muntrue | WillLuongo, command: lspci -v grep -i Network | 15:25 |
| LogicalDash | gfather1, actually it is 8.04.1, thus the *second* Hardy Heron release | 15:25 |
| Muntrue | WillLuongo, tell me what the card model is :) | 15:25 |
| a5an0 | Heron point release if you will | 15:25 |
| Muntrue | WillLuongo, ignore the other command i made a typo | 15:25 |
| WillLuongo | I can get it for you just a sec | 15:26 |
| gfather1 | <LogicalDash> cool . so it already has the Wubi and other stuff to install with windows , | 15:26 |
| Muntrue | WillLuongo, lspci -v | grep -i Network | 15:26 |
| gfather1 | man the setup is very easy :) | 15:26 |
| LogicalDash | gfather1, yes, it is basically awesome | 15:26 |

| Miksag1 | how do you get the Kernal header files? | 15:27 |
| Muntrue | WillLuongo try lsmod | grep ralink | 15:27 |

| Nikolas| | How do I change the system's language? | 15:27 |
| mole112 | Hello | 15:27 |

| ubottu | To set up and configure your locales, see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/LocaleConf | 15:27 |
| WillLuongo | Muntrue: nothing | 15:28 |
| Muntrue | axenory, It is just a wireless assistant application. but alot of people report that it fixed their wireless problem so its a good way to start and easy fix if it works | 15:28 |
| Muntrue | WillLuongo, oke hang on | 15:28 |
| wols | Miksag1: apt-get the appropriate linux-header* package | 15:28 |
| Miksag1 | get my network card to work | 15:28 |

| Muntrue | WillLuongo, ow yea darn lol | 15:30 |

| mickru | Hi, I struggle to enable core dump files in ubuntu 8.04.1 | 15:30 |
| FF|h0lus | sudo apt-get openssh-server and error E: Packet openssh-server don't have candidat to install | 15:30 |
| Muntrue | axenory, You want to check out ndiswrapper | 15:30 |
| Miksag1 | well, i believe it's a driver issue, as, sometimes the network card just doesn't work on boot; but after a few reboots, it works fine | 15:30 |
| Muntrue | !ndiswrapper | axenory | 15:30 |
| wols | FF|h0lus: pastebin your sources.lis | 15:30 |
| ubottu | axenory: Wireless documentation can be found at https://help.ubuntu.com/community/WifiDocs | 15:30 |

| Miksag1 | http://pastie.org/private/v0qktgvaxr41f94krkagq wols | 15:31 |
| GleepGlop | FF|h0lus: try just apt-get install ssh-server | 15:31 |
| mickru | at least they are not what i set them to when a user types ulimit -c | 15:31 |
| mickru | any idea? | 15:31 |
| axenory | Muntrue: I already installed it but i dont know how to use it | 15:31 |
| WillLuongo | Muntrue: thanks, I appreciate it | 15:31 |
| Dedi | Miksag1: for my wireless, i mostly have to do a sudo /etc/init.d/network restart after booting up | 15:31 |
| wols | Dedi: why? | 15:32 |
| Miksag1 | yay; i somehow don't really want todo that | 15:32 |
| wols | Dedi: then you ahven't configured it correctly | 15:32 |
| Muntrue | axenory, ndiswrapper installs the windows driver for your wireless card so you will need that | 15:32 |
| cdavis | is there a way to determine if my proc supports hvm throug /sys or anything like that? | 15:32 |

| wols | Miksag1: that one doesn't need any compilation under ubuntu. what ubuntu version is this? | 15:32 |
| axenory | Muntrue: WifiDocs/NdiswrapperOnAMD64 I am not using AMD does it work anyway? | 15:32 |
| Muntrue | axenory, You will first have to figure out wich window driver you need. you can check the official ndiswrapper list for your card/usb device and go from there | 15:33 |
| Miksag1 | um.. not quite, i've got open a site linking to it; but being a new user; I'm sorta cautious of sources | 15:33 |
| GleepGlop | FF|h0lus: ok, does apt-cache search ssh-server result in anything? | 15:33 |
| Miksag1 | 8.04 | 15:33 |
| wols | Miksag1: ifconfig -a. it IS supported | 15:33 |

| britsun | How do I open a login program on an empty virtual terminal ? | 15:33 |

| Odd-rationale | britsun: sudo /etc/init.d/gdm start | 15:33 |
| FF|h0lus | updating | 15:33 |
| wols | Miksag1: either the driver is automatically loaded or it's modprobe r8169 | 15:34 |
| Muntrue | WillLuongo, I took the information from this forum but maybe im missing something so please check it out: http://tinyurl.com/5e8twz | 15:34 |
| Miksag1 | wols: when i installed ubuntu at the start of the year, it wouldn't even pickup the network card.. so, I';ve gotten an improvement | 15:34 |
| Odd-rationale | FF|h0lus: then "sudo apt-get install openssh-server" | 15:34 |
| Muntrue | WillLuongo, Ill try to find more information in the meantime | 15:34 |
| Miksag1 | "modprobe r8169" is that a command to run? | 15:34 |
| wols | Miksag1: r8169 has been in the vanilla kernel for a long time. I have the same NIC btw | 15:35 |

| petersaints | guys... I have a TOSHIBA Laptop with a Intel Core 2 Duo T7500 processor (2.2GHz) + 2GB of RAM (DDR2-667MHz) | 15:39 |
| petersaints | at the current date | 15:39 |
| petersaints | should I go for 32-bit or 64-bit? | 15:39 |
| FF|h0lus | the authenticity of host "localhost 127.0.0.1" can't be estabished | 15:39 |
| venky | Hi can any one tell me why i am getting this error ? Nautilus cannot handle computer: locations. | 15:39 |
| wols | petersaints: 32bit | 15:39 |
| Odd-rationale | FF|h0lus: replace "localhost" with th ip address of the server machine... | 15:40 |
| Pici | FF|h0lus: | 15:40 |
| FF|h0lus | ok | 15:40 |
| petersaints | yeah wols... I have tested it in a past and noticed no real performance increase between 32-bit and 64-bit (besides some heavy CPU tasks such as enconding) | 15:40 |
| thunder85 | hi all | 15:41 |
| Pici | FF|h0lus: Thats a normal warning, you will always get that the first time you connect. | 15:41 |
| Odd-rationale | Odd-rationale: and do "ssh <username_on_server>@(sever_ip_address) from the client machine... | 15:41 |
| petersaints | what I feel abour 64-bit (on any OS) is that for a common user the only real advantage is to support 4GB of RAM or more | 15:41 |
| petersaints | am I right? | 15:41 |
| npope | 32bit with PAE | 15:41 |
| npope | oops thats Fedora as far as I know Ubuntu doesnt have any PAE kernels | 15:42 |
| Pici | npope: Only the -server kernel does, not the -generic one. | 15:42 |
| cedx | You can address up to 64gb of Ram in a 32bit system using PAE | 15:42 |

| Muntrue | WillLuongo, Oke i will try to find more information | 15:43 |
| petersaints | Yes but currently I only have 2GB. All I want to know is that if I should go for 64-bit right now!! When I used 64-bit for a few days (some weeks ago) the only problem I've found with it was running some proprietary 32-bit compiled software | 15:44 |

| petersaints | Ok wols ;) I'll just keep 32-bit until I get 4GB or more of RAM (on a future laptop and/or desktop)!! I see development 64-bit for desktop computers like an assurance that when needed (because you have more RAM, etc) you'll be able to use it ;) | 15:50 |

| Mr_Duck | Hi, I'm trying to install ubuntu to my laptop as a dual boot. When I try to partition the drive using the partitioner on the Ubuntu disk, I get an error that says "Resize operation failure. An error occurred while writing the changes to the storage devices. The resize operation has been aborted." | 16:57 |
| Mr_Duck | Does anyone know how to fix this? | 16:58 |
| wishie | bazhang: it is. all audio works, EXCEPT ogg audio | 16:58 |
| bert1 | is there a way i can make my root password simple, like 4 letters? ubuntu disallows this, forcing me to use a 7-word/2-number password (because mine is "too simple". while this isn't a huge deal, its annoying and unnecessary and wasn't there in previous versions. does anyone know a work-around this nannying? | 16:58 |
| wishie | bazhang: kaffeine/xine/codecs are all up to date | 16:58 |
| tech404 | Mr_Duck: Have you checked to make sure you have space and defragmented the drive? | 16:58 |
| === KiPSeRoN is now known as KiPSeRoN`away | ||
| Mr_Duck | I have space | 16:58 |
| Mr_Duck | but I haven't defragmented | 16:58 |
| recon | bert1: Well, first off, you shouldn't really have a root password. | 16:59 |
| Mr_Duck | ah okl | 16:59 |
| bazhang | wishie, you may wish to /join #kaffeine | 16:59 |
| recon | bert1: ideally, you should be using sudo and the like. | 16:59 |
| Mr_Duck | I can do that through windows can't i? | 16:59 |
| recon | bert1: if you really want a root password, use "sudo passwd root". | 16:59 |
| tech404 | Mr_Duck: I would try that as a first step.... yes, there is a defragmenting tool | 16:59 |
| Mr_Duck | ok | 16:59 |
| bert1 | recon: perhaps i'm confusing my terms. i want to change whatever the password is that i have to enter whenever i login, enter into keyring manager, or install updates or access synaptic and whatnot. thats what i would like to simplify | 16:59 |
| Kattman | Mr_Duck: drefag in save mode | 17:00 |
| recon | bert1: then that would be _your_ password, not the root password. Simply use "sudo passwd [insertyourusernamehere]". | 17:00 |
| Mr_Duck | safe mode? | 17:00 |
| dmacnutt | defrag?? | 17:00 |
| dmacnutt | why are you defraggina a linux filesystem | 17:00 |
| bert1 | recon, like, "sudo passwd bert new-password-here" ?? | 17:00 |
| Mr_Duck | its a dualboot | 17:00 |
| dmacnutt | oh | 17:01 |
| jbroome | dmacnutt: why aren't you comprehending what is written | 17:01 |
| Mr_Duck | im having trouble partitioning dmacnutt | 17:01 |
| tech404 | dmacnutt: he is not... hes defragmenting a NTFS fs so he can squish it | 17:01 |
| recon | bert1: no, just "sudo passwd bert" and then follow the prompts. | 17:01 |
| jbroome | bert1: you don't need sudo to change your password | 17:01 |
| Raz0R | legend: i have done the unpacking of the driver with ./makedrv, but when i try to ./wlan0up i get unknown device. do i need to reboot? | 17:01 |

| d0m1n0ez | like free space? | 18:21 |

| finalbeta | if I ping the netbios name of a lan machine my ubuntu pings a remote ip (208.***). What's up with resolving? | 18:22 |
| Abed | amatson97, go ahead | 18:22 |
| hiptobecubic | d0m1n0ez, df -h is a bit more readable | 18:22 |
| amatson97 | i am having major problems with me trash can | 18:22 |
| hiptobecubic | is anyone in here knowledgeable in ssh and X forwarding? i'm stumped. I can only get it to work in one direction | 18:22 |
| wbmj | amatson97: what is the exact problem | 18:23 |
| EvilDennisR | chaqui: for x in *; do mv $x $x.mp3; done -- Will rename * files in the current directory to be that file name.mp3. So if you have a file called foobar, it will be renamed to foobar.mp3 | 18:23 |
| QueenOfHearts | how can I set it so all CDs are mounted at /media/something | 18:23 |
| amatson97 | A) it is missing from the panel tried adding it the panel refeshs yet nothin appears | 18:23 |
| hiptobecubic | EvilDennisR, won't that also leave the old file extension? like foobar.aac.mp3? | 18:23 |
| osmosis | th0r: this looks like the right tool, apt-cache show rssh | 18:23 |
| EvilDennisR | hiptobecubic: Yes. | 18:23 |
| hoban | hey all - I'm looking for help understanding why my wired connection's bandwidth fluctuates so much. see pic: http://www.easyscreens.info/?v=3827 (ubuntu 8.04 amd64, fully up-to-date, e1000 driver) | 18:23 |
| amatson97 | B) if i click just past me workspaces (4 of them) it sometimes opens | 18:24 |
| EvilDennisR | hiptobecubic: He didn't ask me to solve that issue for him, he only asked how do I rename all of these files to have .mp3 on them | 18:24 |
| QueenOfHearts | how can I set it so all CDs are mounted at /media/something | 18:24 |
| amatson97 | that is problem number one i have more haha | 18:24 |
| scottywz | chaqui: It takes the names of all the files in the directory, and calls them "x". $x represents that name | 18:24 |
| wbmj | amatson97: have you upgraded....this happen for awhile for me until I did a system update | 18:24 |
| hiptobecubic | I'm not saying you didn't solve his question, i'm just verifying for my own wellbeing :D | 18:24 |
| amatson97 | i am uptodate it has happend since i have | 18:25 |
| chaqui | EvilDennisR: the output is "filename is not a directory" | 18:25 |
| Odd-rationale | QueenOfHearts: if you are using nautilus and hal, is should mount to /media/cdrom | 18:25 |
| EvilDennisR | hiptobecubic: Yes, it will append .mp3 to any file to answer your question ;) | 18:25 |
| QueenOfHearts | Odd-rationale: No, some CDs mount to cdda and this is really annoying me | 18:25 |
| amatson97 | plus nautilus aint workin i can not enter "computer" | 18:25 |
| finalbeta | why can't I access windows host using there hostname? How do I fix it? | 18:26 |

| Greyscale | maybe the logger is busted? | 18:28 |
| chaqui | i just want music brainz to pick it up. | 18:28 |
| Odd-rationale | quaal: oh, audio cd... you don't mount audio cd... | 18:28 |
| hoban | Greyscale: haha, yeah. and I've no idea why it looks that way. It's actually always behaved in that way on this laptop but I dunno why | 18:28 |
| Odd-rationale | whoops | 18:29 |
| EvilDennisR | chaqui: for x in *; do mv "$x" "${x}.mp3"; done | 18:29 |
| hoban | Greyscale: and my wireless connection doesn't behave in the same way | 18:29 |
| Greyscale | might be the network itself. Buffer charge/discharge | 18:29 |
| Odd-rationale | QueenOfHearts: you don't mount audio cd... | 18:29 |

| Odd-rationale | QueenOfHearts: you can't access an audio cd like a data disc... | 18:30 |
| Greyscale | hoban, what application is providing the traffic? | 18:31 |
| crashsystems | @linuxer2008 no, you cannot | 18:31 |
| EvilDennisR | Dein: It should say "direct rendering: yes/no" | 18:31 |

| Dein | EvilDennisR: it's a yes | 18:31 |
| chaqui | EvilDennisR: i need a menosynce file to help me learn linux :-) | 18:31 |
| QueenOfHearts | Odd-rationale: But how CAN you access it???? I mean, like 'cd /blah/blah/blah' | 18:31 |
| Greyscale | or it might be buffering on the sending end. | 18:31 |
| swamy | Odd-rationale: no i have uploaded the screenshot | 18:31 |
| Greyscale | hoban, or it might be buffering on the sending end. | 18:31 |

| EvilDennisR | Dein: I don't know then | 18:33 |
| swamy | Odd-rationale: you can see that the bottom panel should show two tab buttons for two open windows | 18:33 |

| joe_ | how can i find areally good rpg game for ubuntu? | 18:33 |
| crashsystems | @wigren sure, what do you need? | 18:33 |
| Abed | wut;s wrong wigren | 18:33 |
| swamy | Odd-rationale: http://imagebin.ca/view/XsA14PI.html | 18:34 |
| wbmj | joe_: personally I like Openarena | 18:34 |
| the_mak | how to zip a folder is it right? zip folder.zip foldername | 18:34 |
| Odd-rationale | swamy: right-click the bottom panel. then select "add to panel..." then scroll down to the window list. and select add. I am quite sure that you are missing the window list... | 18:34 |
| joe_ | what's Openarena? | 18:34 |
| wigren | crashsystems: when i use it at work it connects just fine, but when i try it at home nothing i do works. i think it's my router because my firewall is set up correctly, but im not sure what options to change or how | 18:35 |
| EvilDennisR | joe_: Its quake 3 arena, but with like different characters and such | 18:35 |
| joe_ | cuz the rpg game that i would like to get has to work with my computer, it was make for win2000 | 18:35 |
| EvilDennisR | joe_: its literally quake3 arena, just hacked up | 18:35 |
| crashsystems | @wigren are you trying to connect to a work computer from home? | 18:35 |
| joe_ | oh ok, kool | 18:35 |
| swamy | Odd-rationale: anyway i have added the window list. still default behaviour is to show two tab buttons in bottom panel, suddenly they have disappeared please tell me how to enable them | 18:35 |
| Odd-rationale | QueenOfHearts: you have to understand that an audio disc cannot be treated like a data disc... you need a special program to play audio disc. you cannot just mount the audio disc and expect to see audio files or something.... i thing moc (music on console) can play cd's... | 18:36 |
| wigren | crashsystems: no, im trying to connect to my desktop from my laptop | 18:36 |
| wigren | crashsystems: i can connect to my work desktop from the same laptop | 18:36 |
| linuxer2008 | what defrag program to use with ubuntu ? | 18:37 |
| jbroome | you don't | 18:37 |
| swamy | Odd-rationale: if any number of windows are open the bottom panel should display corresponding buttons | 18:37 |
| crashsystems | @wigren when you click on connect, then find, does your desktop show up in the list? | 18:37 |
| joe_ | my graphics card is nvidia tnt2 model 64/model 64 pro and i'm look'n for a really good rpg game that will work will my graphics card, anyone know of any??? | 18:37 |
| Pici | linuxer2008: none. Theres no need. | 18:37 |
| jbroome | joe_: nethack maybe | 18:37 |
| wbmj | linuxuser2008: Linux doesn't really need to be defragged | 18:37 |
| joe_ | ? | 18:37 |
| linuxer2008 | Pici:thanks | 18:37 |
| joe_ | i don't know what nethack is, srry | 18:38 |

| TornadoChas3r | Well can someone still help me Setup the congigs | 18:40 |
| huh | i want to know how to install browser safari in ubuntu | 18:40 |
| EvilDennisR | Mr_Duck: If you have a dual boot setup with ubuntu and windows, you want to defrag your drive in windows | 18:40 |
| jbroome | huh: can maybe do it with wine. there isn't a linux port of safari | 18:41 |
| Mr_Duck | EvilDennisR i did | 18:41 |
| EvilDennisR | Mr_Duck: There is no defrag for ext3 filesystems.. | 18:41 |
| EvilDennisR | Mr_Duck: Then you're all set.. | 18:41 |
| huh | oh.. | 18:41 |
| TiredWolf | EvilDennisR: yes there is | 18:41 |

| EvilDennisR | Mr_Duck: ..and that error is? | 18:41 |
| TornadoChas3r | kk Thnkas | 18:41 |

| Odd-rationale | oh he left... | 18:41 |
| Mr_Duck | "Resize operation failure" | 18:42 |
| TiredWolf | EvilDennisR: i guess for the same reason that you'd defrag an ext2 partition? | 18:42 |

| EvilDennisR | Mr_Duck: You can't resize a filesystem you're using. | 18:44 |
| Mr_Duck | I'm trying to create one | 18:44 |
| TiredWolf | EvilDennisR: there's nothing magical in ext2 or 3 that makes them "non-fragmentable". they're just smart enough to minimize both the phenomenon and the effects it has when it does happen, but it still happens | 18:44 |

| Mr_Duck | but when I try it again, i get the same error | 18:45 |
| wols | Mr_Duck: then check that it actually did. | 18:45 |
| TiredWolf | EvilDennisR: that tool was written (as a modified version of "defrag") by an Ubuntu member, who came here many months ago to ask for testing. it's now included in Ubuntu, has been for a long time now. | 18:45 |
| Mr_Duck | what do you mean? | 18:45 |
| swamy | please anyone help me, the bottom panel does not show the tab buttons of open windows | 18:45 |
| wols | Mr_Duck: not defrag in ubuntu. defrag in windows! | 18:45 |
| Mr_Duck | I did! | 18:45 |
| EvilDennisR | TiredWolf: great | 18:45 |
| wols | Mr_Duck: then use a better defrag program. E:g. get perfect disk trial and use that. it clears the free space | 18:46 |
| Mr_Duck | tech404 told me to defrag in windows, using JKdefrag, which I did. I get the same error. | 18:46 |

| Masteredu | hello | 18:46 |
| wigren | crashsystems: no problem. i have no issues starting from scratch, it usually helps. to answer your question, yes its enabled via the Remote Desktop client in Preferences | 18:46 |
| EvilDennisR | Mr_Duck: Are you trying to make it bigger or smaller? if smaller, what are you going to do with the free'd space | 18:46 |
| Mr_Duck | There's only one partition on my hard drive right now, becuase I only have windows installed | 18:47 |
| swamy | ZeroOP: you are right , i have installed that in the bottom panel | 18:47 |
| Mr_Duck | Right? Sorry, I'm new to this | 18:47 |

Do NOT take polls in the channel. If you insist on getting people's opinions, ask BestBot in #ubuntu-bots. | 18:47 |
| EvilDennisR | Mr_Duck: So you got the ubuntu install cd and you're using that to try and resize the partition | 18:47 |
| Odd-rationale | swamy: ok try this "rm -rf ~/.gconf/apps/panel" then log out and back in... | 18:47 |
| Mr_Duck | yes EvilDennisR | 18:47 |
| crashsystems | @wigren ok, next I would recommend checking to see if the port is open on your desktop. Do you know how to use nmap? | 18:47 |
| Masteredu | what is bether vmware or virtual box ??? | 18:48 |
| ZeroOP_ | swamy: then your list of boxes should be there, if not try loggin out and loggin on again | 18:48 |

| TiredWolf | EvilDennisR: note that i don't necessarily advocate using it (ext3 IS good at keeping fragmentation to a minimum, generally), but it's there. and if you thrash your partition by filling it up and keeping it filled for a long time, it does get fragmented an awful lot | 18:48 |

| Pici | Odd-rationale: I just gave him that factoid. | 18:48 |
| Odd-rationale | Pici: oh, sorry... | 18:48 |
| crashsystems | @wigren ok, first you are going to need to do: sudo apt-get install nmap | 18:48 |
| Masteredu | <wbmj> what you mean | 18:49 |
| mikere | Mr_Duck, you might be better off resizing the partition from within windows to create the blank space for new partitions. | 18:49 |
| swamy | ZeroOP_: ok , but by default any desktop manager should display the buttons in the bottom panel | 18:49 |
| Mr_Duck | mikere, how do I go about doing this? | 18:49 |
| crashsystems | @wigren then the following, but replace the IP for the IP of your desktop: nmap 192.168.1.100 | 18:49 |
| swamy | ZeroOP_: but i has suddenly disappeared | 18:49 |
| Odd-rationale | swamy: did you try my suggestion? did it not work? | 18:49 |
| crashsystems | @wigren this will run for a few moments, and then will tell you what ports are open on that box | 18:49 |
| crashsystems | @wigren you are looking for port 5900, which is what VNC uses by default | 18:50 |
| mikere | Mr_Duck, what version of windows? | 18:50 |
| Mr_Duck | xp service pack 2 | 18:50 |
| Mr_Duck | mikere xp service pack 2 | 18:50 |
| ILP | I ran apt-get dist-upgrade on an ubuntu server, and now I can't access mysql. I get this error from my BB software: "Can't connect to local MySQL server through socket '/var/run/mysqld/mysqld.sock' (13) [2002]" Can someone give me some direction? | 18:51 |
| Masteredu | what you use , what you find bether from the performance ??? VMWARE OR VIRTUAL BOX ??? | 18:51 |
| mbrigdan | anyone know the name of the program that acts as a "three strikes" firewall for ssh? I'm pretty sure I have it installed, but I can't find it, and can't remember what its called. | 18:51 |
| Masteredu | I use Virtual Box becouse it is free , but i heared that it is easier in VMWARE to switch folders from one os to a other | 18:51 |
| swamy | Odd-rationale: i tried that command but no improvement | 18:51 |
| mikere | Mr_Duck, you'd go to control panel and then I think computer management and disk management and do it from there. | 18:51 |
| wigren | crashsystems: ok, do i just run nmap or do i need to add some options? | 18:51 |
| Mr_Duck | Ok, thanks mikere | 18:51 |
| Odd-rationale | swamy: hmm. then we can try something more drastic... | 18:52 |
| EvilDennisR | ILP: ..is mysqld running ? | 18:52 |
| mikere | Mr_Duck, of course I'm saying that straight from memory - google might give you a more reliable answer =) | 18:52 |
| tomi | hi, my samba work only in half, i can` see comps in my work group in nautilus | 18:52 |

| Mr_Duck | mikere yeah, I've already defragged, but should I defrag again after I've partitioned? | 18:53 |

| EvilDennisR | ILP: ..make sure you're root when you run that, if not then add sudo infront of it | 18:55 |
| crashsystems | @wigren you must specify the ip address to scan when you run it. So if your ip for the desktop is 192.168.1.100, then run "nmap 192.168.1.100" | 18:55 |
| crashsystems | @wigren Also, try closing firestarter and see if you can connect | 18:56 |
| ed0n0n | hi there, I can't connect to my LAMP server from my LAN, something has gone wrong. Can you help? | 18:56 |
| mikere | Mr_Duck, you could give it a try - but it might not be capable of shrinking. | 18:56 |
| Pici | daedra: don't ask to ask, just ask. | 18:56 |
| crashsystems | @wigren if you can use VNC when firestarter is down, then we have just isolated the problem. | 18:56 |
| Mr_Duck | mikere, are you talking about defragmenting? | 18:57 |
| ILP | Still nothing. | 18:57 |
| Mr_Duck | or partitioning | 18:57 |
| EvilDennisR | ILP: Any output that would help us diagnose an issue? | 18:57 |
| Mr_Duck | becuase I don't see anything in the control panel about partitiong(in windows) mikere | 18:57 |
| daedra | ah that felt good | 18:57 |
| Mr_Duck | and it's telling me that there is no need to defragment, because it wouldn't do anything. | 18:58 |
| wigren | crashsystems: both 5900 and 5901 are open, and unfortunately i have the same issue with or with out firestarter open. is there a command to actually kill the service? or should i try the "stop firewall" option in the firestarter GUI? | 18:58 |
| ILP | $ sudo /etc/init.d/mysql restart * Stopping MySQL database server mysqld * Starting MySQL database server mysqld $ sudo ps -e | grep mysql $ | 18:59 |
| ILP | Jut like that. | 18:59 |
| daedra | wigren: pkill -9 NAMEOFSERVICE | 18:59 |
| ILP | There is no output from ps -e | grep mysql | 18:59 |
| crashsystems | I would think that stop firewall would work. firestarter is just a gui for setting up iptables rules, so the stop button should unload them. | 18:59 |

| wigren | crashsystems: i tried another way to do it yesterday: http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=122402&highlight=tightvncserver | 19:18 |
| wigren | crashsystems: could that be causing a conflict? | 19:18 |
| crashsystems | just a moment | 19:18 |
| snmpee | muntrue, thank you for your opinion. continue in #ubuntu-offtopic thanks | 19:18 |
| muntrue | ed0n0n, anything else ? | 19:18 |
| The_ManU_212 | hi | 19:18 |
| muntrue | snmpee, haha if you are pissed off about something you shouldnt take it out on a chatroom ^^ | 19:19 |
| ed0n0n | muntrue: full line: 127.0.0.1 - - [23/Jul/2008:19:25:39 +0200] "GET / HTTP/1.0" 200 6809 "-" "Apache/2.2.4 (Ubuntu) PHP/5.2.3-1ubuntu6.3 (internal dummy connection)" | 19:19 |
| snmpee | muntrue, Please stop now. | 19:19 |
| ed0n0n | muntrue: shouldn't that HTTP/1.0" 200 be HTTP/1.0" 80 ? | 19:20 |
| crashsystems | @wigren so do you have both vnc4server installed as well as Ubuntu's default? If so, I think that could certainly cause problems. | 19:20 |
| muntrue | ed0n0n, not really | 19:20 |
| Kyle__ | ed0n0n: why 80? | 19:20 |
| Kyle__ | the 200 is a response code | 19:20 |
| Kyle__ | 200 OK | 19:20 |
| ed0n0n | muntrue: sorry, the good lines also have 200, thought it was the por number | 19:20 |
| wigren | crashsystems: should i sudo apt-get remove vnc4server xinetd and restart? | 19:21 |
| Kyle__ | ed0n0n: 200 OK, 404 pr0n not found | 19:21 |
| wigren | crashsystems: to answer your question: yes | 19:21 |
| muntrue | ed0n0n, no need to apologize. Its a good question | 19:21 |
| crashsystems | @wigren go ahead and do that, but I do not think the reboot will be nessisary | 19:21 |

| muntrue | ed0n0n, not sure if that is of any help but take a look anyway | 19:22 |
| Anscombe | Sylphid|work, I read that, but didn't understand it :/ | 19:23 |
| ed0n0n | and if 200 is Ok what is (internal dummy connection) ? Gonna read that topic first, thanx :) | 19:23 |
| takamarou | can anyone help me to get OpenGL enabled on my computer? | 19:23 |
| wigren | crashsystems: this was in the output: * Stopping internet superserver xinetd should i try it with ubuntu's default program and a password again? | 19:23 |
| muntrue | ed0n0n, also : http://www.linuxquestions.org/questions/linux-newbie-8/apache2-lan-machines-cannot-access-website-372540/ | 19:23 |
| crashsystems | @wigren sounds good | 19:23 |
| muntrue | ed0n0n, Internal dummy connection is nothing to be worried about. it seems to be an auto process. There are many topics on how to reduce these and stop them from logging so much if you want to do that | 19:24 |
| wigren | crashsystems: success! now what about firestarter? | 19:25 |
| rohan | hi. why is firefox 3.0.1 not in the repos yet? it's been released from a long time | 19:25 |
| Red | join / #gnu_xiitas | 19:25 |
| ed0n0n | muntrue: the first link is too complicated for me, I have rad the second and realised I read it before | 19:26 |
| crashsystems | @wigren well, it seems to me that something in your settings was blocking access to the vnc ports. Go ahead and try vnc again with it running, just to double check. If it still doesn't work, then you'll get to snarf those settings to see where the problem is ;) | 19:26 |
| genii | rohan: It's not available for ubuntu versions before 8.04 | 19:26 |
| muntrue | ed0n0n, hehe | 19:26 |
| TiredWolf | rohan, stuff doesn't get put in the repositories unless it's a critical security fix or very important bugfix | 19:26 |
| muntrue | ed0n0n, is there a firewall on your server going on ? or maybe one installed on your router/modem that limits LAN access | 19:26 |
| Odd-rationale | rohan: i beleive you can get it from the gutsy backport repos... | 19:26 |
| ed0n0n | muntrue: there is firewall/router but it blocks WAN acces not LAN | 19:27 |
| TiredWolf | Odd-rationale: backports are another matter, yeah. but you have to request a backport to get a backport (and there's no guarantee) | 19:27 |
| muntrue | ed0n0n, you could try shutting that down for a moment to see if that fixes it. just to be sure and to know where to look if it is that | 19:27 |
| eyemean | hi slight problem, once i install propriety drivers tvtime does not work | 19:27 |

| lunaris | muntrue how can I enable compiz on xubuntu | 19:29 |
| crashsystems | @wigren yeah, I'd add explicit rules for allowing VNC traffic coming from your laptop. Hopefully that will work. | 19:30 |

| lunaris | muntrue not that I can see | 19:31 |
| Odd-rationale | lunaris: sudo apt-get install compiz emerald | 19:31 |
| Odd-rationale | lunaris: then alt+f2 and type in "compiz --replace" | 19:31 |
| ed0n0n | muntrue: What if I uninstall Apache I install it again? | 19:31 |

| muntrue | ed0n0n, can always remove apache and try installing it again | 19:32 |
| Odd-rationale | lunaris: actaully, make that "sudo apt-get update && sudo apt-get install compiz emerald compizconfig-settings-manager" | 19:32 |

| lunaris | Odd-retionale : Ok,I'm waiting for execution | 19:35 |

| takamarou | I'm having some trouble with my nvidia drivers, can anyone help me out? | 19:42 |
| wbmj | Wright: do you have your cd drive set to first boot | 19:42 |
| crashsystems | @wigren I think your packet rejecting policy is set to drop instead of reject, which means that the desktop is not informing the laptop of the packets being dropped, hence the timeout | 19:42 |
| amenado | Wright-> make sure your bios is set to boot on cdrom as 1st priority | 19:42 |
| trooper | takamarou: if you give some more detail what the problem is | 19:42 |
| wbmj | iuri: np | 19:42 |
| meoblast001 | hi | 19:42 |
| IdleOne | Wright, not all systems are set to boot from cd by default. you probably just need to change that and then reboot with the cd in tray | 19:42 |
| Odd-rationale | lunaris: if you want compiz to start everytime you log in, go to autostarted applications and create an entry fo rht command "compiz --replace" | 19:43 |
| takamarou | trooper, I had to manually edit my xorg.conf to get my computer to recognize the drivers, and now when I go to Nvidia X Server Settings Dialog it says I am not using the Nvidia X Drivers. When I run the suggested command I get sent back to low graphics mode. I need to get into the settings dialog, or else I cannot enable OpenGL | 19:43 |
| crashsystems | @wigren with stuff as complex as firewall rules, I think it is often good to start over when having these kind of problems. Firestarter is just as good as any other frontend, because iptables is always what will be used underneath. | 19:43 |
| trooper | takamarou: did you try nvidia-xconfig? | 19:43 |
| lunaris | Odd-rationale : I will now:) | 19:44 |
| takamarou | trooper, that is the command that sends me back to low graphics mode | 19:44 |
| trooper | that is supposed to create the proper entries in xorg.conf | 19:44 |
| takamarou | trooper, unfortunately it doesn't. It makes my driver nvidia, but it needs to be nv. | 19:44 |
| crashsystems | @wigren start with a default allow on outgoing, and a default reject on incoming. Then add accept incoming rules for each port you have stuff running on. | 19:44 |
| wigren | crashsystems: ok | 19:45 |
| Odd-rationale | lunaris: and to switch back to the normal window manager, do alt+f2 and enter "xfwm4 --replace" | 19:45 |

| zumo | Hi there. I finally decided to upgrade to 8.04 but now it seems that some kind of error occured since nothing has changed in at least fifteen minutes. The last thing that happend is, that belocs-locales-bin has been installed ("Generating locales...\n de_AT.UTF-8..."). Can anybody please give me some advice what to do about that? | 19:49 |
| prince_jammys | bob3213243_: saving the dot files (files that begin with a dot) in your homedir would do that. | 19:49 |
| bastid_raZor | JoeFool; 'a bunch of text' doesn't really help in figuring out what the problem is | 19:50 |
| bob3213243 | prince_jammys I'm confused.lol | 19:50 |
| trooper | while were at the topic when running two screens with twinview the dialogs open with delay. any ideas?4 | 19:50 |
| prince_jammys | bob3213243_: do you know what a 'hidden' file (or a dot file) is? | 19:50 |
| trooper | takamarou: that are the first lines arent they? | 19:50 |
| takamarou | trooper, nope. the last | 19:50 |
| zumo | I'd google for it, but firefox is currently out of order because of the dist update... | 19:50 |
| bob3213243 | prince_jammys no | 19:50 |
| JoeFool | bastid_razor: yeah, I understand that, all I know is it tells me about several errors (in the file system, I think) and I never get to the login window | 19:51 |
| kesrut | ndiswrapper uses more cpu then native drivers ? | 19:51 |
| prince_jammys | bob3213243_: you can see them in your file browser if you 'show hidden files', or see them from a terminal with 'ls -a' | 19:51 |

| preben | is there something special with the users group and permissins in ubuntu? I added in /etc/group users:x:900:user1,user2 etc... but all folders where the group is set to users i get permission denied to create files even if I have put read and write and execute rights for owner and group and all users I have tested with are members of the users group | 19:52 |
| JoeFool | "bastid_razor: yeah, I understand that, all I know is it tells me about several errors (in the file system, I think) and I never get to the login window" | 19:52 |
| prince_jammys | bob3213243_: usually, you can just copy those to the home directory of your user in the other machine, and then when you open firefox, for example, all your bookmarks and settings will be there. | 19:52 |
| preben | if i change to the adm group it works | 19:52 |

| JoeFool | ah | 19:53 |
| JoeFool | thanks anyway | 19:53 |
| Flannel | preben: Don't manually edit /etc/group, use the command line tools to do it. if you do 'groups user1' does it show 'users'? if not, you haven't successfully added them to the group | 19:53 |
| prince_jammys | bob3213243_: so use the command from the bot to install all the same software in the other machine, and copy those files i'm talking about to get personal settings. | 19:53 |

| preben | [SOLVED] users group permission problem. There actually exists a users group with id 100 but it wasn't in my group file so I made a new users group as I thought ubuntu didn't have it with id 900.

| bigjeff5 | joaopinto: : / that's as far as I get too, I'm getting a 169.*.*.* address | 20:24 |
| bastid_raZor | hiptobecubic; i was thinking that port may not support that type of information transfer. | 20:24 |
| unop | home_, sudo iwlist scan | 20:24 |
| DARKUS | and now i unistalled it coz i can't work with this big resolution | 20:24 |
| DARKUS | what can i do? | 20:24 |
| DARKUS | plz help me | 20:24 |

| jduckett | I am running Ubuntu 8.04 Hardy on a laptop. The install was barebones install using debootstrap. I need to get the wireless working. I am using kernel 2.6.24-18 and my understanding is that support for wireless (iwlwifi) is built into the kernel. How do I get it configured, up, and running?? | 20:26 |
| Scunizi | jduckett: not sure if this will help but you might "sudo apt-get update && sudo apt-get upgrade && sudo apt-get dist-upgrade".. that should do lots of upgrades including the kernel to vs. -19 which might make a difference. | 20:27 |
| DARKUS | no one can help? | 20:28 |

| Qixx | hi, I'm having a very tough time trying to get my nvidia 9600 GT card running on ubuntu if anyone can help | 20:30 |
| freqk | I was wondering if anyone knew how I would install Ubuntu on my new iMac. | 20:30 |
| Qixx | i'm going for a dual screen setup, but for now even getting it running on my one would be awesome | 20:30 |
| freqk | I was a two year linux user but recently switched to Mac. | 20:30 |
| freqk | How do I get the Live CD to boot up? | 20:31 |
| swamptin | freqk: will it not boot as a live cd should? | 20:31 |
| jduckett | when documentation states that something is part of the kernel, then, how can you verify the something really exists as part of your kernel?? | 20:31 |
| freqk | I havn't tried, I cant imagine it really doing that. | 20:31 |
| Qixx | I've managed to get it running normally, and the nvidia-new drivers seem to work, except I still get a [extension "GLX" missing on display ":0.0".] error trying to run glxgears | 20:31 |
| freqk | Should t? | 20:31 |
| DARKUS | :( | 20:32 |
| bastid_raZor | freqk; i'm fairly sure you need the ppc version of ubuntu for a mac. | 20:32 |
| freqk | No, it's Intel. | 20:32 |
| DARKUS | thank you for you help | 20:32 |
| swamptin | freqk: you may have to reset the boot permisions on the Mac and add a CD to it, but I would have thought a Mac would boot off CD without any issues | 20:32 |

| freqk | Hold C? Is that the key that shows the bootable drives? | 20:34 |
| Sionide21 | It should cause the computer to try to boot from cd | 20:34 |
| anto9us | Qixx, it's not loading the nvidia driver, try cat /etc/X11/xorg.conf | grep Driver, it should show nvidia and not nv | 20:35 |

| anto9us | becker_11, it will erase that partition and should create a new one by the looks of it, I think you need to umount the device's partitions | 20:58 |
| prince_jammys | xidryck: i like it. getting everything set up once you're running it involves some effort, though. it's all done in text files. once you're in there, do 'man fluxbox' and read away. | 20:58 |

| fwaokda | ldiamond, I just delete the partition now how to i merge it with my ubuntu? | 21:00 |
| anto9us | becker_11, type mount and look see what mount point(s) are listed against that device, then umount the mount points e.g. umount /media/disk1 | 21:00 |
| Anscombe | if i do sudo apt-get install gparted where does it go to | 21:00 |
| jimmmym | ekow: lspci | grep Network | 21:00 |
| anto9us | Anscombe, system | administration menu | 21:01 |
| becker_11 | anto9us: yeah it's /dev/sdb1 | 21:01 |
| ldiamond | fwaokda, in gparted (gui) you can simply resize your partition to use the remaining space by dragging the end or begining of the partition | 21:01 |

| prince_jammys | xidryck: not that long. | 21:01 |
| fwaokda | ldiamond, oh ok thanks | 21:01 |
| anto9us | becker_11, you need to match up what's mounted on that device and umount it | 21:01 |

| prince_jammys | xidryck: fluxbox might be a bit of a pain then. i've been on linux for two years or so. | 21:03 |
| anto9us | ldiamond, linux has most raid drivers already in it, your /boot partition will need to be outside your raid container | 21:03 |

| Jasnation | Hello. I have downloaded the latest ubuntu release (8.04), burned the image to disk, etc., but this live cd fails to start. I have re-downloaded, done md5 checks, burned new cd's, but the problem continues. When the linux kernel begins to load, it gets to some percent and then just freezes. I have tried this on multiple computers, all of which have run ubuntu 7.10 perfectly. Any suggestions? | 21:09 |

| glassresistor | RazoR:remove slash and tell me what it hangs on | 21:10 |
| anto9us | becker_11, unplug the stick and plug it back in, check what device is allocated to it, unmount all partitions and try again, remember to sudo zcat to the device without a number at the end | 21:10 |

| Saladin | Jadewolf: It does, of course depend on what mail server you are wanting to use? If you are wanting an Exchange server, you'll need Windows | 21:46 |
| family | Dr_willis: It's not super user? | 21:46 |
| xidryck | dr_willis: yes i will | 21:46 |

| Dr_willis | Yud_Zroc, if the game is isntalled system wide..it needs to be updated system wide.. if installed by/as a single user.. the user should be able to update it. | 21:47 |
| family | anto9us: Perhaps it's a problem with this install of ubuntu. perhaps a recent update caused hal to break or something. I've done 2 full system upgrades since its last fresh install. | 21:48 |

| Dr_willis | fwaokda, also seen where if using primary partitions and trying to expand/resize logicals/extended. I thinki had to do that in steps. But the system i had to do this on was weird in other ways. May of been a quirk that one time | 21:51 |
| ay^_ | fwaokda: okay, you cannot change the size of a mounted media | 21:51 |
| anto9us | family, I'd recommend to backup and repair or repartition the thumb drive to prove that | 21:51 |

It is a lot of work in terms of changing DNS settings, and you also need a web server for your website. Other than that, I have no idea where to go for assistance | 21:54 |

| ekow | ay: i recently installed ubuntu, the wireless doesn't work right away and i'm very new to linux so i don't know where to start to get it working | 22:04 |
| danfg | anto9us: yes it detects a new network device, i wish it wouldn't try to use the new device for internet access or whatever, which i guess is what makes networking stop | 22:04 |
| zippytech | on hardy is there a way to find waht program is holding the audio | 22:04 |
| anto9us | danfg, happens on my sony erricsson k800i, I disable usb internet on the k800i's menu | 22:05 |
| Qixx | I'm trying to set up my nvidia 9600 GT with Ubuntu Hardy (Followed all instructions, searched google for hours now) -- still getting the error that "Compatible NVidia X driver not found!" in Xorg.0.log | 22:05 |
| Qixx | I'm using the manual install, and have run the nvidia-xconfig | 22:05 |
| danfg | anto9us: oh, i so it's an option in your phone that tries to use the internet thru usb? | 22:05 |
| anto9us | danfg, it didn't work properly anyway, don't know if it's my phone company not supporting it, I had to configure dialup | 22:06 |
| nogagplz | Qixx: 173.14.09? or there abouts for driver version | 22:06 |
| Qixx | NVIDIA-Linux-x86_64-173.14.05 | 22:06 |
| danfg | anto9us: well, i'd still like to do that, but on windows. on linux i just don't want my desktop's network to stop working | 22:06 |
| anto9us | danfg, no, I think it's an option to provide internet through usb | 22:06 |
| Reaby | simple question: doest fstab make needed subdirectories on boot, or do i need to mkdir /media/mounpoint ? | 22:07 |
| Qixx | ]installed ubuntu yesterday with 'ubuntu-8.04.1-dvd-amd64.iso' | 22:07 |
| cvija | hay | 22:07 |
| danfg | Reaby: yeah it does afaik | 22:07 |
| anto9us | danfg, specifically, you connect your phone and it becomes a networking device for you computer to use, ifconfig should list all your network devices | 22:07 |
| Reaby | danfg: ok thanks | 22:08 |
| filthpig | rotzak, I have exactly the same problem. I remember reading a howto explaining the fix, but it's a long time ago | 22:08 |
| Qixx | I did get the weird "error" : WARNING: Unable to perform the runtime configuration check for library 'libGL.so.1' ('/usr/lib32/libGL.so.173.14.05'); assuming successful installation. | 22:08 |
| ay^_ | ekow: sorry I got lost in some documentation.. but you could always try dmesg and look for anything that has to do with you wireless | 22:08 |
| mortal1 | dell's vista insprion comes with some really good hardware for the $$$ vs ubuntu insp. You guys think i'd be any worse installing ubuntu myself? | 22:09 |
| JC_Denton_ | what can I do about the smaller monitor that keeps sizing windows too large when running dual monitors? | 22:09 |
| ekow | ok, np | 22:09 |
| danfg | anto9us: ah ok, makes sense. i'd still like ubuntu to prioritize the network devices, so a new network device shouldn't be used instead of the current one that is still working, dunno | 22:09 |
| ay^_ | mortal1: I did that on a 1525 | 22:09 |
| jduckett | support for Intel wireless 4965 is built into kernel >= 2.6.24, however, lshw -C network shows the device is UNCLAIMED | 22:09 |
| thinman1189 | what's the command for viewing the progress when you boot up? it hangs sometimes and I wanna see why. | 22:09 |
| les | thinman1189: dmesg | 22:10 |
| b4 | Hi | 22:10 |
| anto9us | danfg, yeah, network manager is still a bit hit and miss though it does make configuration a lot easier for most people | 22:10 |
| b4 | I just interrupted an rm process that was working on an 8GB .tar.bz2 file with Ctrl+C | 22:10 |
| hiptobecubic | are there any little utilities like pastebinit that do a better job than pastebinit does? | 22:10 |
| hiptobecubic | b4, and? | 22:11 |
| s3a | yo sum1 plz help im talkin to my dad long distance and i need to no how to make my mic work! | 22:11 |
| b4 | my question is: what state are whatever is left of the file and the hard drive now in? and should I worry? | 22:11 |
| Saladin | s3a: What version of Ubuntu are you on? And what software are you using for the call? | 22:11 |
| b4 | considering that if I leave, say, 4GB of my harddrive unusable if I don't run some sort of check program, I would be worried. | 22:11 |
| thinman1189 | les: thanks | 22:12 |
| danfg | anyone know how to get mousewheel acceleration in ubuntu? | 22:12 |
| anto9us | b4, check if the file is there and test its contents with bzip2 -t | 22:13 |
| mortal1 | ay^_ did you delete the recovery partitions? | 22:13 |
| b4 | the entry in the directory is gone | 22:13 |
| ay^_ | mortal1: no I still have the vista as a dual-boot | 22:14 |
| ay^_ | mortal1: and thus I felt the recovery stuff could come in handy :) | 22:14 |
| s3a | Saladin: ubuntu 8.04.1, Skype 2.0.0.72 | 22:15 |
| Saladin | S3a: Have you tried playing with your sound and volume settings? | 22:16 |
| hiptobecubic | s3a, what exactly is wrong? is it just that your microphone is not being picked up in skype? have you tested it with other programs? | 22:17 |
| co0lingFir3 | hello, how do i open a .001 file in ubuntu? | 22:17 |
| Saladin | S3a: Right click your little volume icon, and select Volume Control. There are a couple of channels for mic and mic boost. Try adjusting those. | 22:17 |
| ekow | ay: i typed dmesg but what am i looking for? | 22:17 |
| Saladin | S3a: I had the same problem when I first installed Ubuntu, and all it took was some readjusting - took a while, but once you get it sorted, it's sorted. | 22:18 |
| hiptobecubic | s3a, try running pavumeter --record and see if you get any input at all from your mic | 22:18 |
| niuq | hi there's a channel for emerald issues? | 22:18 |
| GuitarGuest6 | restricted drivrs for nvidia card, does ubuntu come with them, or are they downloaded through updates? | 22:19 |
| froosch | ~. | 22:19 |
| ay^_ | ekow you could pastebin it and I could look through it for ya, it's kind of hard to tell, but wlan-stuff :) | 22:19 |
| l3dx | mdadm: /dev/sdb1 appears to be part of a raid array: | 22:19 |
| ay^_ | ekow: also you could try the command "ifconfig" and look for wlan in that | 22:20 |
| ay^_ | or "iwconfig" | 22:20 |
| ekow | ok | 22:20 |
| Grejao | someone can help-me? | 22:20 |
| l3dx | mdadm: /dev/sdb1 appears to be part of a raid array <- is this something I should just ignore, or is there a chance of data loss if continuing? | 22:20 |

| ay^_ | Spec: haha I KNEW it! | 22:27 |
| hiptobecubic | Grejao, are you in centos or ubuntu right now? | 22:27 |
| Yud_Zroc | Mortello: use bootcamp and install it on the usb using the alternative cd from the site | 22:27 |
| anto9us | Mortello, I don't know, I'd leave room on the device just in case | 22:27 |
| Grejao | hiptobecubic, centos | 22:27 |
| hiptobecubic | can you mount the ubuntu file system? | 22:28 |
| grizlo42 | hello, i have openSUSE 11 installed, and i want to switch to ubuntu, without losing my data, is there a way to do that? | 22:28 |

| histo | grizlo42: is you /home directory on its own partition? | 22:28 |
| bmunger | does anyone know of a utility available in the repo that can monitor a list of ip addresses using ping.. a qt/gtk utility that can quickly check.. nothing like a full blown network monitoring tool | 22:28 |
| Grejao | hiptobecubic, yeap | 22:28 |
| grizlo42 | no, unfortunately not | 22:28 |
| histo | bmunger: nmap | 22:28 |
| histo | bmunger: nmap -sP 192.168.1.1-255 | 22:29 |
| grizlo42 | is there a way to put it on its own? | 22:29 |
| bmunger | nmap will sit there and report when an ip address goes down? | 22:29 |
| histo | grizlo42: yes | 22:29 |
| grizlo42 | *move it to its own* | 22:29 |
| grizlo42 | how? | 22:29 |
| histo | grizlo42: then you jsut point ubuntu to use that home parittion. all yoru data would be saved. | 22:29 |
| histo | grizlo42: you can switch to any distro you want as long as you point it at that partition. | 22:29 |
| hiptobecubic | Grejao, browse to /boot/grub on the ubuntu fs and see if you have an old menu.lst in there | 22:29 |
| bmunger | histo: i dont think it will sit there and alert when an address goes down and up.. thats what im looking for | 22:29 |

| JC_Denton_ | can I use nvidia settings to set the display to show the menu and application trays? | 22:30 |
| grizlo42 | no i mean it is currently in the / partition, is there a way to move it to its own, without losing the data thats currently in the /home folder | 22:30 |
| histo | grizlo42: http://ubuntu.wordpress.com/2006/01/29/move-home-to-its-own-partition/ | 22:30 |
| grizlo42 | thanks | 22:30 |
| ay^_ | ekow: but as I said, try pastebin you dmesg and send me a link | 22:30 |
| bXi | is there a way of checking if there are useless packages installed? | 22:30 |
| Grejao | hiptobecubic, i think that you don't understand... /boot on ubuntu are the same /boot on centos,,, this is an alone partition,,, and when i install centos they format /boot | 22:30 |
| histo | grizlo42: i'm sure you can find one for your distro as well. | 22:30 |
| ekow | ok | 22:30 |
| histo | grizlo42: directions will be basically the same. | 22:30 |
| histo | bmunger: nah it won't you would have to re issue the command. | 22:31 |
| Grejao | i dont have any /boot partiton at ubuntu | 22:31 |
| hiptobecubic | s3a, did that show you a little window with vu meters in it (bars that move when your microphone picks up sound) | 22:31 |
| histo | bmunger: let me see what I can find | 22:31 |
| looonger | does icedtea6 work with opera? | 22:31 |
| tovella | JC_Denton_: do you mean that the desktop size seems to go beyond the confines of your monitor? | 22:31 |
| s3a | hiptobecubic: ya but the coloring or wtv is but very low | 22:32 |
| grizlo42 | sigh, that skips the hardest part - partitioning | 22:32 |
| bonez45 | I just d/ld the .iso for intel pentium.. I tried installing and got a kernel panic.. VFS.. something or other.. This all despite the write verification.. I am writing the .iso again to a new disc.. is this common or just a glitch on my system? | 22:32 |
| histo | bmunger: maybe someone else would know of something. But i'm sure you could make some sort of script with nmap | 22:33 |
| hiptobecubic | Grejao, my mistake. So when you turn on your computer, it boots straight to centos? | 22:33 |
| yapp | Hello I want to kill both double entries in a .txt file. Any hints? I want to clean a white.txt list from entries of a black.txt list. any hints? | 22:33 |

| JC_Denton_ | tovella, yes but I've solved that one | 22:33 |
| Raz0R | hi | 22:33 |
| ikt | hey guys, I'm using xp atm, was fine watching a video till the network cable went off, now I can't see my file server via windows networking, samba is the same, everything is the same, I can ping, I can access my website, I can do everything else except browse via windows networking, any ideas? (already restarted everything) | 22:33 |
| histo | exit | 22:33 |
| ikt | network cable fell out of my ubuntu server | 22:33 |
| JC_Denton_ | tovella , now the primary monitor seems to be switched though | 22:33 |
| Grejao | hiptobecubic, at ubuntu boot partition at ubuntu, but they are clean, its because ubuntu mount /dev/sda1 over /boot when at startup ... | 22:33 |
| anto9us | yapp, see http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Diff | 22:34 |
| tovella | JC_Denton_: ahh, dual headed configuration... are they the same model of monitor? | 22:34 |
| Grejao | i think that if i copy ubuntu /boot/* files to boot folder over ubuntu and change /etc/fstab it will work ... or not? | 22:34 |
| hiptobecubic | Grejao, does grub of any kind load when you turn on the computer? | 22:34 |
| include_pr | yep | 22:34 |
| mylfu | http://img65.imageshack.us/my.php?image=zrzutekranutvtimegiveyoqc4.png how fix this poblem ;) | 22:35 |
| hiptobecubic | Grejao, as i understand it, grub doesn't do things the same was as fstab. fstab is read later on in the boot process i think | 22:35 |
| hiptobecubic | the same way* | 22:35 |
| Grejao | humm ok... | 22:35 |
| TaoTeShaun | how can i fix the automounting of my usb drives without reinstalling? | 22:35 |
| JC_Denton_ | tovella: no, its a 17" tft connected to a 15" laptop | 22:36 |
| kerbeross | i have an usb hard disk with 5 partitions on it. One of the partition is empty. However when i check the free space with df it show that i am using half of the partition. I have empty my tras en anbled hidden folder view. My partition is still half used. Can anyone determine whats has happend with the used half ? | 22:36 |
| tovella | JC_Denton_: nvidia-settings should be able to change that (which is primary & which is secondary)... drag & drop the displays. | 22:36 |
| hiptobecubic | Grejao, so when you boot, it doesn't read /boot/ it reads from somewhere else? Do you have a choice of OS when you boot? | 22:36 |
| Grejao | hiptobecubic, under grub i can boot only centos,,, at /dev/sda1 i have only centos files(kernel and other files) | 22:36 |
| djlenoir | Hello all. I have a question related to installing SlingPlayer in WINE. Anyone that might be able to assist me? Or is there a better channel to ask in? | 22:36 |

| hiptobecubic | Grejao, so /boot/ wasn't formatted, it was re-written when you installed centos and they didn't include ubuntu | 22:37 |
| kerbeross | log in and out just to be sure, turn off your drive and back on | 22:37 |

| dubby | hey anyone who knows iptables i have a little problem im getting brute force attacks on my sshd here is my auth.log www.dice14u.com/auth.txt (i changed the name to auth.txt for browsers | 23:14 |
| yowshi | why the hell do all these tutorials like to start with functions | 23:14 |
| Daisuke_Ido | has 2.6.24.20 even been released yet? i've seen it in no updates | 23:14 |
| yowshi | what evee happened to hello world and move on from there to explain print if then else and input commands first | 23:15 |
| yowshi | and also for | 23:15 |
| dubby | is there a way to block traffic with an iptables thing after like 8 failed attempts i also use firewall builder but couldn't figure it out | 23:15 |
| Daisuke_Ido | yowshi: because this isn't BASIC | 23:15 |
| MrKennie | Daisuke_Ido: I think it's in proposed | 23:15 |
| Popolon | bob3213243, what is UIF ? | 23:15 |
| mgreen | yowshi: please address with nickname first. i missed your messages. | 23:15 |
| mgreen | yowshi: and watch your language ;) | 23:16 |
| edz | cp: omitting directory | 23:16 |
| yowshi | Daisuke_Ido: yes but the hello world has been the opener for every language i have ever seen | 23:16 |
| edz | anyone know the -flag to copy directorys | 23:16 |
| connyosis | edz: -t | 23:16 |
| connyosis | r | 23:16 |
| Popolon | edz, -a | 23:16 |
| connyosis | bah! | 23:16 |
| Popolon | -a = archive | 23:16 |
| connyosis | edz: -r | 23:16 |
| Popolon | -r = recursive | 23:16 |
| glitsj16 | dubby: you can use a frontend like firestarter (gnome) or guarddog (kde) to ease making manual iptables rules | 23:16 |
| Popolon | with -a you will keep the date | 23:16 |
| Popolon | and it's also recursive | 23:16 |
| durandalarauz | an | 23:16 |
| edz | thnx | 23:16 |
| yowshi | Daisuke_Ido: and functions is a fairly advanced thing to most users to use as the first thing to be explained | 23:16 |

| Daisuke_Ido | yowshi: a lot of tutorials these days assume at least a passing familiarity with the really simple stuff | 23:17 |
| mgreen | yowshi: as i said, that guide is for people with prior programming experience, which you seem to have. it's a different and, imo, excellent introduction to python | 23:17 |
| bob3213243 | popolon universal image format it is used by magic iso. | 23:17 |
| Popolon | try a converter from uif to iso ? | 23:17 |

| Lenin-chan | np | 23:21 |
| Dr_willis | ryan____, not for me.. but it maybe for you | 23:22 |
| yowshi | mgreen heh i forgot i already found this one. was practically useless since it doesnt cover halfg the commands | 23:22 |
| Pelo | ryan____, I barely use 4 gig | 23:22 |
| Lenin-chan | now someone please help me retrieve my drive ;/ | 23:22 |
| yowshi | mgreen couldnt find how to get input from a user anywhere in it | 23:22 |

| jon_high9000 | I was on last night and realize you folks are extremely busy. not a problem at all. anyway, what i was chatting about was regarding my video card Nvidia GeForce 6150 LE. My question was this; will i be able to utilize Compiz-Fusion or no? is there a driver that might increase my chances as far as productivity? | 23:22 |
| ryan____ | i plan on using gnome and/or fluxbox, firefox, abiword, some games maybe totalling 2GB space max. some other various programs. should i go bigger? like 12 GB? | 23:22 |
| Lenin-chan | Pelo: 80 GB IDE disk, FAT32 , seen and mounted as 2,7 GB | 23:22 |
| edz | compiz-fusion is awesome!! | 23:23 |
| bastid_raZor | Pelo; i have almost 7G in mine.. where do you put your apps/stuff on /home? | 23:23 |
| nogagplz | jon_high9000: So long as you have the correct driver installed, I don't see why you couldn't use it | 23:23 |
| Pelo | jon_high9000, if your card is supported by the restricted drive and gyou have glx enabled you'll probably be ok | 23:23 |
| Lenin-chan | fdisk shows it has 80gb though | 23:23 |
| nogagplz | Considering it runs fine on my Geforce 2 :P | 23:23 |
| Pelo | bastid_raZor, basic setup I don'T mess around with the folder I just have a 10 gig / partition but I only use about 4 of it | 23:24 |
| teq | hi! i recently installed firefox 3 on my system but i cant get the shortcuts to work, even if i type "firefox" in terminal it executes the old version, how can i fix this? thanks! | 23:24 |
| mgreen | yowshi: have you tried to use google? i found it with 'python user input' | 23:24 |
| ryan____ | is 16GB overkill? | 23:24 |
| ryan____ | for / | 23:24 |
| ryan____ | i will only have / and /home | 23:24 |
| ryan____ | and home i want huge. i have a 320GB disk | 23:24 |
| Pelo | Lenin-chan, install gparted, see what your drive is seen as , my guess you have a drive with only a 2.7 gig partition on it and the rest is unallocated | 23:25 |
| yowshi | mgreen: i was busy usiing google with python tutorial or python online classes since i dont just want to find out how to get input | 23:25 |
| glitsj16 | jon_high9000: http://forlong.blogage.de/article/pages/Compiz-Check | 23:25 |
| jon_high9000 | pelo: is there a way to check if a am using glx or no? | 23:25 |
| bastid_raZor | ryan____; if i ever have to reinstall i'm going to make a 20G / and the rest /home.. 16G imo is fine | 23:25 |
| Pelo | ryan____, what kind of user are you ? basic home or insane hacker gamer ? | 23:25 |
| ryan____ | ok, thanks | 23:25 |
| Lenin-chan | but i had it used in 7.10 (before today's reinstall) and it worked fine | 23:25 |
| ryan____ | um...from a scale of 1 to 10, 1 being the former...7.5 | 23:25 |
| legend2440 | if hardy hangs on boot up which log file is best to look at to get clues as to why? dmesg? | 23:25 |
| Pelo | jon_high9000, just try intalling and starting compiz see what happens | 23:25 |
| mgreen | yowshi: run this: python -c "a = raw_input('?: '); print a" | 23:26 |
| PhantomFreak | why is Hardy confusing my samba drive with CIFS? | 23:26 |
| freexe | Pelo: It still wont mount, I get the error, "Unable to mount media, There is probably no media in the drive" When I click on the Apple iPod Music Player nameon the filesystem | 23:26 |
| mgreen | PhantomFreak: see http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Server_Message_Block | 23:26 |
| yowshi | mgreen yes i found the raw_input thing by accident from another tutorial and i wasnt explained when it was used | 23:26 |
| teq | freexe: what are you trying to do? | 23:26 |
| ryan____ | Pelo:um...from a scale of 1 to 10, 1 being the former...7.5 | 23:26 |
| freexe | access my ipod | 23:26 |
| unop | PhantomFreak, CIFS (or SMB) is the protocol that samba uses | 23:27 |
| teq | ok | 23:27 |
| Pelo | freexe, that's the best I can do for you , you need an ipod user to help you out , I'M not that wealthy | 23:27 |
| teq | freexe: type lsusb in a terminal | 23:27 |
| * bastid_raZor laughs | 23:27 | |
| mgreen | yowshi: this isn't really a python support forum, though. i'm sure that you'll manage with the help of our friend google :) | 23:27 |
| PhantomFreak | #mgreen looked at a lot of similar but trying to mount a NAS in smb and it just gives CIFS errors! | 23:27 |
| ryan____ | Pelo: I think 16GB will be good... | 23:27 |
| Pelo | ryan____, 10 to 16 sounds good then , if you have to muich you cna always reduce it later, | 23:27 |
| freexe | teq: I get "Bus 005 Device 005: ID 05ac:1262 Apple Computer, Inc." | 23:27 |
| maniak-b | Lenin-chan: have you tried the previous version livecd ? maybe it has something to do with the new kernel/libraries. | 23:27 |
| evilbug | Pelo- there you are :) | 23:27 |
| Lenin-chan | also, my system doesnt detect my 250gb ntfs hdd- it is only in hardware manager, but i cant mount it in any way | 23:28 |
| mgreen | PhantomFreak: do you have a specific error message? | 23:28 |
| yowshi | mgreen yeah. thanks for the link, i didnt mean to have the convo continue | 23:28 |
| Coolguy64537 | hey, is there something i can put in terminal to reset to factory settings | 23:28 |

| Lenin-chan | maniak-b: ther is no way to do it with this system like that? | 23:28 |
| teq | freexe: ok now type sudo mount -t /dev/sda1/ /media/usb0/ | 23:28 |
| bastid_raZor | Lenin-chan; why can't you mount it? | 23:28 |
| mgreen | yowshi: no problem. good luck exploring python :) it's a great tool | 23:28 |

| Pelo | erUSUL, nvidia-settings , resolution reverts to 1024x768 after a reboot | 23:29 |
| Pelo | evilbug, icv ? | 23:29 |
| rockenrola1 | BrandonS: I saw someone with that problem in ubuntu forums | 23:29 |
| glitsj16 | mrynit: yes, look at http://www.ubuntu.com/usn/usn-627-1 | 23:29 |
| mgreen | BrandonS: starting applications in console is a good way to get hold of error messages | 23:29 |
| maniak-b | Lenin-chan: you may install a previous kernel and boot it, but the livecd is not that heavy. I'd try a business card debian netboot just to make sure the data is still there. :) | 23:30 |
| PhantomFreak | mgreen Something about negotiating unix capabilities of server... But it's not CIFS compatable and used -t smbfs and smbmount on seperate occasions! | 23:30 |

| MuzikJunkie2 | hi all, I am at a last resort here with this geforce 6200 and Ubuntu. I have tried all that I can think of from installing the binary package, to using Ubuntu's restricted driver installation and nothing seems to get this card running with the nvidia driver. I can only use this card in 2D with the vesa driver. Is it time to return the card or can someone offer insight? | 23:30 |
| erUSUL | Pelo: even if you launch nvidia-settings with gksu and press save changes to xorg.conf button?¿? | 23:30 |
| bastid_raZor | Lenin-chan; do a sudo fdisk -l (l is a lowercase L) is the drive listed? | 23:30 |
| Pelo | erUSUL, yes | 23:30 |
| MuzikJunkie2 | Correction...the only thing that I can think of that I have not tried is Envy | 23:30 |
| teq | MuzikJunkie2: have u tried the glx drivers? | 23:30 |
| mgreen | PhantomFreak: tell us about your setup. you're trying to do what? | 23:30 |
| BrandonS | Pelo, It worked when I had Linux before | 23:31 |
