|---|---|---|
| amenado | david_-> what is this Nero you have downloaded, is it a tar.gz file? did you read the instructions how to install it from the site you downloaded it from? | 00:00 |
| Raymonde | Hello o/ | 00:00 |

| hp2133 | I just picked up a 50-in-1 reader/writer for various memory cards (CF, MMC, etc). It works on my son's vista laptop, but doesn't light up or work on hardy. It shows up as a high speed USB device using ehci_hcd, but not as a disk. Ideas? | 00:00 |
| teq | nickrud: but all of my shortcuts execute old version | 00:00 |
| mgreen | glitsj16: actually /usr/bin/firefox -> firefox-3.0 in hardy | 00:00 |
| amenado | david_-> is it a .deb file? | 00:00 |
| david_ | Amenado it's the trial for Nero 3 for Linuz | 00:00 |
| nickrud | teq, it matters a lot. If you used synaptic, you just need to be sure all instances of firefox are exited. If you installed it as a binary from mozilla, you would have to change some stuff to use it over the ubuntu version | 00:00 |
| glitsj16 | mrgreen: that didn't work for teq he just said | 00:01 |
| amenado | david_-> there's got to be an install instructions, or else no one going to be able to use it | 00:01 |
| teq | nickrud: i think i installed it as a binary | 00:01 |
| mgreen | glitsj16: it's a standard hardy symlink. sorry for missing the issue. | 00:01 |
| nickrud | teq, ok, where did you install it? | 00:01 |

| glitsj16 | mgreen: and sorry for calling you mrgreen :) | 00:02 |
| amenado | david_-> you have google to assist you, find out where you downloaded it from and read the instructions from there | 00:02 |
| david_ | zvacet - how do I know if its a bin file? | 00:02 |
| nickrud | teq, I'm assuming this is not ubuntu 8.04 you are using? | 00:02 |

| teq | nickrud:7.10 | 00:03 |
| teq | mgreen: 7.10 | 00:04 |
| zvacet | david_ : because you can choose between deb and rpm on that site choose deb for your arch | 00:04 |
| amenado | david_-> you wont get lost if you read some, go back to the site you found info on nero and read the blurbs | 00:04 |

| nickrud | mgreen, 3.0 is in gutsy-backports? | 00:07 |

| riegersn | anyone have any ideas? | 00:07 |
| mgreen | nickrud: http://packages.ubuntu.com/gutsy-backports/web/ | 00:07 |
| nickrud | teq, eventually, yes. do cat ~/.bashrc , and look at the very end. You should see something like if [ -d $HOME/bin ]; then export PATH=$HOME/bin:$PATH fi | 00:08 |
| teq | MuzikJunkie2: glx-new is a restriced driver | 00:08 |

| tmc_ | how i do a message to a name? | 00:09 |
| amenado | tmc_-> why you can not add it? did you follow the steps step2 sudo vi /etc/vsftpd.conf ? | 00:09 |
| teq | nickrud: it says if [ -f /etc/bash_completion ]; then . /etc/bash_completion | 00:09 |
| riegersn | !hostname | 00:09 |
| ubottu | Use hostname <somehostname> to set the hostname, or to do it permanently: edit /etc/hostname and /etc/hosts . WARNING! Make sure that your current hostname and /etc/hosts match, otherwise sudo may not work properly. Alternatively, use the gui at system>administration>networking on the "General" tab | 00:09 |
| nickrud | teq, another choice (fits better with ubuntu) is system->admin=>software sources , updates tab and enabling backports. then sudo apt-get install firefox-3.0 | 00:09 |
| tmc_ | did that | 00:09 |
| tmc_ | i see a big list but... cant write anything | 00:09 |
| amenado | tmc_-> look you have to put a nick in front.. | 00:09 |

| Dusk_ | what should i do? | 00:30 |
| bonhoffer | i am trying to decide between ubuntu and a dedicated nas (openfiler, freenas) | 00:30 |
| AMDpenguin | Should i keep the source code directory that i compiled from | 00:30 |
| bonhoffer | can ubuntu do everything that these can (software raid, etc) | 00:30 |
| bonhoffer | ? | 00:30 |
| AMDpenguin | Is it safe to delete it? | 00:30 |
| nickrud | AMDpenguin, yes, if you ever intend to uninstall | 00:30 |
| krajan | AMDpenguin yes | 00:30 |
| krajan | AMDpenguin yes, delete | 00:30 |
| holyhell | nickrud thats option number 1, even though it says resiye SCI§ partition 3 ? | 00:30 |
| riegersn | i want to set up 2 workstations with ubuntu on the same network. I'm installing the second one now. should i set the hostname to be the same? | 00:30 |
| riegersn | anyone? | 00:30 |
| Dusk_ | krajan, can you help me please no one cares | 00:31 |
| nickrud | holyhell, memory says there's another option that doesn't resize while using guided | 00:31 |
| echosystm | guys, i did a default ubuntu install, where the entire hard drive is one partition mounted at / | 00:31 |
| Dusk_ | krajan, i have the exact problem in this thread -----> http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=858131 | 00:31 |
| krajan | Dusk_ sory but my wireless works great and I can't help you | 00:31 |
| nickrud | Dusk_, I care, but have no answer. Never used that one | 00:31 |
| holyhell | guided: use the largest continous free space | 00:31 |
| echosystm | how would i go about removing and reinstalling ubuntu, but keeping the files in /home ? | 00:31 |
| nickrud | holyhell, that's the one | 00:31 |
| holyhell | thx | 00:31 |
| __yy | echosystm: you'll have to back them up somewhere | 00:31 |
| Dusk_ | pfffff every other distro is ok but why ubuntu :( | 00:31 |
| echosystm | god, that is annoying | 00:32 |
| SUPEROGT | Hi, i'm trying to install flash player 9 on firefox 3 in my ubuntu so i downloaded the tar.gz from adobe's webpage but when ask for the installation path i have no clue... i tried /usr/lib/firefox and /urs/lib/mozilla but nothing... Any advise? | 00:32 |
| TiredWolf | echosystm: easiest way is to backup somewhere, really. if you use the alternate CD, it's possible to keep home, but you need to be careful and know what you're doing | 00:32 |
| orgthingy | Dusk_ : ubuntu isnt for "showing off" distribution | 00:32 |
| holyhell | it gave me an error and it said its too small to be partioned @ nickrud | 00:32 |
| echosystm | so, when i reinstall i should make a dedicated /home partition? | 00:32 |
| __yy | echosystm: that's why is usually a good idea to put /home on another partition | 00:32 |
| orgthingy | if you want to show off your "skills" then use Slackware | 00:32 |
| holyhell | i thought 6 gigs is enough for ubuntu | 00:32 |
| echosystm | ok | 00:32 |
| Dusk_ | orgthingy, what do you mean by showing off? | 00:32 |
| TiredWolf | echosystm: that's up to you, but it's a setup i'd recommend | 00:32 |
| orgthingy | if you love compiling, then use Gentoo | 00:32 |
| nickrud | echosystm, use the alternate cd to install, move all your stuff in /home to /data, manually delete all other directories, then when you install do manual partitioning and tell it to NOT format the drive | 00:32 |
| echosystm | i'll do that then | 00:32 |
| echosystm | cheers | 00:32 |
| echosystm | :) | 00:32 |
| orgthingy | Dusk_ : dictionary.com | 00:32 |

| krajan | Dusk_: n/p | 00:34 |

| riegersn | thanks | 00:36 |
| riegersn | i want to set up 2 workstations with ubuntu on the same network. I'm installing the second one now. should i set the hostname to be the same? | 00:36 |

| W8TAH | whats the difference between upgrade and dist-upgrade? | 00:39 |
| nickrud | W8TAH, fundamental difference is dist-upgrade can remove packages, upgrade cannot. dist-upgrade is used to move from one release to another, upgrade to update packages within a release | 00:39 |
| === allen is now known as Bob_Sagot | ||
| krajan | vices: To compress files or a big file to a series of multiple volume rar archives, | 00:40 |

| nickrud | !ask | Mr_Fixit | 00:42 |
| ubottu | Mr_Fixit: Please don't ask to ask a question, ask the question (all on ONE line, so others can read and follow it easily). If anyone knows the answer they will most likely answer. :-) | 00:42 |
| echosystm | if i want ubuntu and windaz on one computer | 00:42 |
| Mr_Fixit | i asked the question... | 00:42 |
| echosystm | what is the best way to share "my docs" ? | 00:42 |
| Mr_Fixit | i'm screwed with a tlc problem... | 00:42 |
| Pelo | nickrud, you can say it a few more times I can use the ego boost | 00:42 |
| Pelo | ;-) | 00:42 |
| echosystm | does ubuntu have full ntfs support? | 00:43 |
| Mr_Fixit | i can't seem to find or locate the tlc while i'm compiling an eggy | 00:43 |
| SealedWithAKiss | Where are all of the Synaptic config files stored? | 00:43 |
| krajan | echosystm : I think yes, my HDD's (ntfs) works fine (read,write) | 00:43 |
| Pelo | SealedWithAKiss, what exactly are you looking for ? | 00:43 |
| bonhoffer | so any tutorials on setting up software raid with ubuntu? | 00:43 |
| Mr_Fixit | echosystm: go to repos and search for ntfs | 00:44 |

| SealedWithAKiss | Pelo, I was recently instructed to modify some kind of Synaptic configuration file on my computer, only I can't remember which one. Now Synaptic isn't working. | 00:44 |

| echosystm | osfameron: my hard drive is too big to use FAT | 00:45 |
| osfameron | echosystm: well, you could use FAT for a shared docs partition | 00:45 |
| Pelo | SealedWithAKiss, this channel is loged, you can try checking those out if you remember the day so you can find the instructions you were given again | 00:45 |
| W8TAH | is there a package of tools that will allow me to use my laptop like a fluke tool to analyze netowrk links etc? | 00:45 |
| osfameron | echosystm: then use ext3 for the linux and ntfs for windows, or whatever you want to use | 00:46 |
| Mr_Fixit | while trying to install an eggy with ./configure it spits out cannot locate tcl to compile... | 00:46 |
| nickrud | teq, you'd have to compile it | 00:46 |

| susanna777 | hi i have a quick question | 00:47 |
| teq | nickrud: how | 00:47 |
| vices | krajan: thanks :) | 00:47 |
| SealedWithAKiss | Pelo, nah. I don't remember the day. I'm not on here much, would it be possible to search the logs for conversations of specific users? | 00:47 |
| krajan | vices, yes it can be, its your choice | 00:47 |
| vices | krajan: got it :) | 00:47 |
| teq | nickrud: sudo apt-get install compiz-fusion? | 00:47 |
| CorpseFeeder | krajan, yes, codecs needed to play encrypted discs | 00:47 |
| nickrud | Mr_Fixit, you probably need the tcl headers, tcl8.5-dev | 00:47 |
| Pelo | SealedWithAKiss, yes, the logs are just html or txt file , your choice you can crtl_f them , but they are devided in days | 00:47 |

| SealedWithAKiss | Ooops! | 00:48 |
| nickrud | teq, no, getting the source from the developers and compiling it. The best way to get the latest version of ubuntu | 00:48 |
| echosystm | why is this? | 00:48 |
| echosystm | i cant even watch youtube :( | 00:48 |

| susanna777 | echosystm, youtube works though, but i don't watch it much cause there usually aren't any subitles, and I'm HOH | 00:49 |

| krajan | echosystm : do you have graphic acceleration ? | 00:52 |
| riegersn | anyone else find it annoying that picasa forces you to give a folder name on import instead of just sorting and naming folder by date taken like most photo organizers? Is there anyway to change this? | 00:52 |
| SealedWithAKiss | nickrud, http://paste.ubuntu.com/29789/ | 00:53 |
| susanna777 | riegersn, why not just name the folder the date? | 00:53 |
| nickrud | FAJALOU, prevents editing the grub options for an os stanza from the grub command line | 00:53 |
| FAJALOU | nickrud: so is it the same thing as it being pw protected? | 00:53 |

| Mr_Fixit | !eggdrop > Mr_Fixit | 00:54 |
| ubottu | mr_fixit, please see my private message | 00:54 |
| nickrud | FAJALOU, no, if it's password protected you need the password to boot. If you know the password to boot, you can still edit the grub boot line during boot, unless it's locked | 00:54 |
| susanna777 | riegersn, oh i haven't used the program | 00:54 |
| DavidCanarias | I just downloaded Nero 3 trial for Linux and have it in my downloads file. Can anyone tell me how to actually install it please. | 00:54 |

| FAJALOU | nickrud: so if it's locked, you cannot access that entry in grub? | 00:55 |
| susanna777 | riegersn, oh i don't take photos | 00:55 |

| bobertdos | DavidCanarias: What type of file is it? | 00:56 |
| FAJALOU | nickrud: ok so if i restarted my computer, and in grub there is a lock on an entry then i would not be able to boot to it, correct? | 00:56 |

| DavidCanarias | bobertdos - thanks. it's an rpm file | 00:57 |
| SealedWithAKiss | Nickrud, well the file you just told me to paste wasn't the one that guy made me edit, and things were fine before with that file just the way it is. | 00:57 |
| nickrud | FAJALOU, you can boot to it. During boot, you can edit the entry, changing how it boots. Lock prevents that | 00:57 |
| bobertdos | DavidCanarias: Oh, and you're using Hardy Heron, right? | 00:57 |
| oobe | DavidCanarias, you need to get the deb file | 00:57 |
| openg | whats the keys on ubuntu like windows has ctrl atl del | 00:58 |
| oobe | nero has them | 00:58 |
| DavidCanarias | bobertdos - thats right | 00:58 |
| openg | what is it for ubuntu | 00:58 |
| FAJALOU | nickrud: so if i wanted it to ask a pw before it boots to the specified entry i would have to use the password --md5 <password> ? | 00:58 |
| DavidCanarias | oobe how do I get the deb file | 00:58 |
| wli | not sure | 00:58 |
| bobertdos | oobe: Well, he can try alien first. | 00:58 |
| nickrud | SealedWithAKiss, ok, then: grep -r Cache-Limit /etc/apt/ , does that bring any output? Capitalization matters | 00:58 |
| bobertdos | oobe: if he wants to, that is | 00:58 |
| B|ackPanther | How do i add running applications to a panel or make the panel show them ? | 00:58 |

| DavidCanarias | bobertdos and oobe. Have I got the wrong file downloaded then??? | 00:59 |
| DavidCanarias | Mine is an rpm file and I need alien - whats that??? | 00:59 |
| holyhell | well i only have the osx partition and then i created 6 gigs for windows in bootcamp but its emptz @ bastid_raZor | 00:59 |
| bobertdos | DavidCanarias: Well, if there IS a deb file available, that would be better. | 00:59 |
| oobe | DavidCanarias, next time get a deb file you can try to use alien but it will go much smoother since you dont know much about linux to just re download nero as a deb from there site | 00:59 |
| nickrud | FAJALOU, now, password protecting a single boot os, that's something I'm not sure of, I've never done ti | 01:00 |
| ailean | could someone help me get my built-in microphone to work on my acer laptop? | 01:00 |

| orgthingy | HOW :'( | 01:00 |
| orgthingy | please help! | 01:00 |
| FAJALOU | nickrud: who said it was single boot? ;) | 01:00 |
| bastid_raZor | holyhell; that isn't what i asked, which partition is OSX installed on.. since it is giving you the exact partition is going to to install to. but regradless it is best to manually make a partition for ubuntu from the free space you have. you'll be resizing the partition that has OSX on it probably | 01:00 |
| DavidCanarias | bobertdos y oobe - OK I'll try to get a deb file. But what do I need to do after its downloaded to install it | 01:00 |
| nickrud | http://www.linuxquestions.org/questions/debian-26/dynamic-mmap-ran-out-of-room-error-when-adding-new-apt-source-list-233417/ , use the post just below the one mentioning 8388608 ;) | 01:00 |
| holyhell | i am just gonna give up guys it think and run ubuntu from the cd | 01:01 |
| holyhell | if i ever need it | 01:01 |
| oobe | DavidCanarias, e.g dpkg -i nero.deb | 01:01 |
| nickrud | FAJALOU, I understand what you're saying, I meant say I had ubuntu debian and windows all booting, having a password for just one. I've always locked all three | 01:01 |
| holyhell | i dont wanna screw up my data and brand new macbook | 01:01 |

| bastid_raZor | holyhell; run ubuntu in a virtual machine on your mac | 01:01 |
| DavidCanarias | oobe thanks I will try that | 01:02 |
| nickrud | holyhell, heh. Do a backup, and if it's a totally new install, what's to loose ;) | 01:02 |
| totec | where can i download doom 3 for linux ? | 01:02 |
| bastid_raZor | totec; use google to find it. | 01:02 |
| holyhell | nickrud and bastid_raZor I have VMWARE fusion on my mac, could i use that as a virtual machine somehow then? | 01:02 |
| DavidCanarias | oobe - sorry again.... what is dpkg -i nero.deb the name of the file I should try to get | 01:02 |
| FAJALOU | nickrud: so passwording them is a good idea? | 01:02 |
| oobe | DavidCanarias, you can also try k3b its a native free burning app for linux | 01:03 |
| nickrud | holyhell, I use virtualbox to run ubuntu on my work machine (where I"m at) | 01:03 |
| holyhell | do u run it within windows? | 01:03 |
| oobe | DavidCanarias, nero.deb was an example i dont know what the file should be called | 01:03 |
| bastid_raZor | holyhell; ofcourse you could. | 01:03 |
| holyhell | yay | 01:03 |
| holyhell | i never knew that | 01:03 |
| nickrud | FAJALOU, if you plan on passwording, I'd use the bios password. If they can boot anything, all hard disk passwords are defeatable | 01:03 |
| SealedWithAKiss | nickrud, /etc/apt/apt.conf.d/70debconf:APT::Cache-Limit "8388608"; | 01:04 |
| holyhell | so i will just use bootcamp for a windows partition and vmware fusion for my ubuntu | 01:04 |
| holyhell | u think u guys can help me with that instead? :D | 01:04 |
| FAJALOU | nickrud true true, | 01:04 |
| nickrud | http://www.linuxquestions.org/questions/debian-26/dynamic-mmap-ran-out-of-room-error-when-adding-new-apt-source-list-233417/ , use the post just below the one mentioning 8388608 ;) (I posted this, but forgot your nick, sorry SealedWithAKiss ) | 01:04 |
| powertoo108 | is there a way to install ubuntu to a computer that doesn't have a video card? | 01:04 |
| * tj83 wonders windows,withVM,with ubuntu all on 6 gigs? | 01:04 | |
| roney | I upgraded to FF 3 and now i cant watch any videos Can anyone help | 01:04 |
| nickrud | holyhell, yes | 01:05 |
| DavidCanarias | oobe Ive tried k3b and like it. I am having a problem making an mp3 cd from audio music that's why I am trying Nero as Im giving up | 01:05 |
| holyhell | tj83 noo | 01:05 |
| holyhell | 6 gigs was reserved for ubuntu | 01:05 |
| roney | I upgraded to FF 3 and now i cant watch any videos Can anyone help | 01:05 |
| glitsj16 | roney: do you have the needed plugins for video support in firefox ? | 01:05 |
| tj83 | holyhell, still 6 gigs really isnt enough in my opinion for ubuntu alone | 01:05 |
| roney | I think so | 01:05 |
| Comedy | Does anyone know what package mp4box comes with?.. i have it installed but it's corrupt and I want to reinstall. just dont know how | 01:05 |
| holyhell | allright | 01:05 |
| oobe | DavidCanarias, http://www.nero.com/eng/downloads-linux3-trial.php get deb 32 if you have 32 bit installed or 64 if you have 64 from that link | 01:05 |
| Raz0R | hey, after i updated to -21 kernel, i ran the system updates and there was a problem during install. could this be the reason that when i try to boot into the -21 kernel i get stuck at "setting sytem clock""??? | 01:05 |
| roney | Java right | 01:06 |
| bobertdos | powertoo108: Well, every computer has to have a video device of some form. Do you mean one that has no 3D card? | 01:06 |
| FAJALOU | in software sources, it says that important security updates isn't checked, and when i check it, no check comes on it, what is wrong? and or how can i check to make sure that they are on? | 01:06 |
| nickrud | tj83, its ok for testing purposes. I'd rather see someone use 6gb they have to spare than not try at all | 01:06 |
| holyhell | for a virtual disc i donT need to do any partitioning, right_ | 01:06 |
| magilum | Hello, I recently migrated from Thunderbird to Evolution, and now every time I try to encrypt a message with gpg to someone else, I get an error saying that the public key doesn't exist in my keyring. Does anyone know how I can get this working? | 01:06 |
| bastid_raZor | holyhell; no, it is just a file on your computer | 01:06 |
| holyhell | love it | 01:06 |
| roney | glitsj16 ive played around with all the settings and still it won't work | 01:06 |
| holyhell | give me a minute and sry about the delay i am on dialup | 01:06 |
| DavidCanarias | OOBE this is the one I downloaded and it is in my downloads file. I don't know what to do now to install it?????? Any ideas | 01:06 |
| tj83 | nickrud, hmm.. i certainly agree, but re-evaluating options would be my choice move.. why do we need windows again? | 01:07 |
| glitsj16 | roney: no Java will not do for regular video playing in firefox, look into mozilla-mplayer (which depends on mplayer) | 01:07 |
| nickrud | SealedWithAKiss, did you get that last? | 01:07 |
| powertoo108 | bobertdos: no, it doesn't have a card at all, after the install I will ssh into it | 01:07 |
| bastid_raZor | holyhell; heh, you're going to be ages trying to update ubuntu :\ | 01:07 |
| holyhell | ok back to a single volume | 01:07 |
| kushalsejwal | Is there any way by which I can hide folder like $RECYCLE.BIN, RECYCLER & System Volume Information which are hidden in windows | 01:07 |
| roney | glitsj16: thanks will look into it | 01:07 |
| DavidCanarias | OOBE sorry I downloaded rpm no deb. I'll download deb, but after that what do I do? | 01:07 |
| fwaokda | I can't get me partition to resize so I'm gonna just format completely and reinstall. BUT my broadcom wireless doesn't work without some tweaking. I don't remember how I got it to work the first time... how can I find out how to set it up after I reinstall because its my only way of getting on the internet atm. | 01:07 |
| holyhell | i just want to get it installed and i will do updates when i am back in the city | 01:07 |
| nickrud | tj83, work ;( | 01:07 |
| SealedWithAKiss | nickrud, yes. | 01:07 |
| holyhell | i am currently in the middle of nowhere on a lake, using the phone line | 01:07 |
| bastid_raZor | kushalsejwal; put mv folder .folder a . will hide folders | 01:08 |
| nickrud | SealedWithAKiss, I'm getting ready to head home, could you try that edit real quickly? | 01:08 |
| bobertdos | powertoo108: Oh, I see...........hmm......... | 01:08 |
| oobe | DavidCanarias, open up a console and type "sudo dpkg -i filename.deb" replace file name with the actual file name | 01:08 |
| ailean | could someone help me get my built-in microphone to work on my acer laptop? | 01:08 |
| kushalsejwal | bastid_raZor: I didnt understand can you kindly elaborate | 01:08 |
| nickrud | tj83, although, I still do 90% of my work in ubuntu in vbox anyway. Just access is left | 01:08 |
| Raz0R | is it possible to install the -21 kernel again, from scratch?? | 01:08 |
| bobertdos | DavidCanarias: So, there's no deb? | 01:09 |
| bastid_raZor | kushalsejwal; in terminal type mv folder .folder by putting a . in front of a folder it will hide it. | 01:09 |
| holyhell | so first question, should i use UBUNTU 64bit or just ubuntu? | 01:09 |
| DavidCanarias | OOBE Thanks a million...... I will try | 01:09 |
| kushalsejwal | if I pur a dot "." at the folder name it might cause cause problem in windows as these folders are system folders isnt it?? | 01:09 |
| tj83 | maybe could resize windows a bit to squeeze for ubuntu? | 01:09 |
| xlukasx | holyhell, what kind of computer ya got? | 01:09 |
| nickrud | holyhell, just ubuntu, it's good enough | 01:09 |
| holyhell | its a new macbook os x | 01:09 |
| holyhell | it can handle it though i think :D | 01:09 |
| DavidCanarias | bobertdos . It seems I downloaded the wrong file so Im now downloading a deb file. Thanks for your help Fingers crossed | 01:09 |
| bastid_raZor | holyhell; 32bit is less of a hassle to get everything running correctly | 01:10 |
| holyhell | is it not worth it @ Nickrud? | 01:10 |
| holyhell | kool | 01:10 |
| holyhell | normal ubuntu then | 01:10 |
| nickrud | holyhell, I've run both, and actually saw no diff | 01:10 |
| xlukasx | thats your best bet | 01:10 |
| nickrud | holyhell, in performance, bastid_raZor is right about easier to run | 01:10 |
| holyhell | ok | 01:10 |
| holyhell | its done, normal ubuntu | 01:10 |
| bastid_raZor | kushalsejwal; oh, you're on a windows partition.. i can't help you any farther then.. sorry | 01:10 |
| holyhell | okay i got about 50 gigs free space, but since i am just sort of giving ubuntu a chance, how much disc space should i give it? 8 then? | 01:11 |
| xlukasx | are you dual booting or going for full install? | 01:11 |
| nickrud | SealedWithAKiss, gotta leave in a minute or two. If I don't hear from you, I'll be back on line in about an hour or so. | 01:11 |
| spiel_mit_feuer | can anynoe see me? | 01:11 |
| SealedWithAKiss | nickrud, i'm trying. | 01:11 |
| roney | Glitsj16: Hey thanks it works great now | 01:11 |
| holyhell | i am doing virtual machine | 01:11 |
| spiel_mit_feuer | wow.. i dont like xchat at all | 01:11 |
| bastid_raZor | holyhell; 8 and do not preallocate that way if need be it will increase as needed | 01:11 |
| holyhell | awesome | 01:12 |
| SealedWithAKiss | nickrud, sure. | 01:12 |
| holyhell | man i am too oldschool for this virtual machine thing | 01:12 |
| xlukasx | lol | 01:12 |
| glitsj16 | roney: very welcome | 01:12 |
| xlukasx | just go full install :) | 01:12 |
| DavidCanarias | OOBE and BOBERTDOS - Eureka ... I downloaded the deb file and it automatically installed. Geniuses both. Wonderful. I hope I won't have anymore problems nowtrying to make an mp3 CD from audio music in my computer. Can you both do this with K3b as I couldn't | 01:12 |
| holyhell | i just read in the economist how genious vmware fusion is, that makes things so much easier, hehe | 01:12 |
| kushalsejwal | bastid_raZor: you didnt got me, I am having a dual boot | 01:12 |
| spiel_mit_feuer | is there a gnome IRC client more like konversation? | 01:12 |
| SealedWithAKiss | nickrud, apt.conf is blank. | 01:12 |
| nickrud | SealedWithAKiss, what's the problem? gksu gedit /etc/apt/sources.list.d/70debconf , change the number, then sudo apt-get update && sudo synaptic | 01:12 |
| Yud_Zroc | would a computer running 512mb of ram run crappier if i had 64 bit ubuntu installed instead of 32 bit | 01:12 |
| xlukasx | gaim is nice | 01:12 |
| xlukasx | or pidgin | 01:12 |
| tropical_dude | Hi, I need some advice, Im going moving my uncle local network from windows to ubuntu, now Im wondering about what the normal/recommended network protocol so they can share files betewn computer, protocol name would be enough thank you | 01:12 |
| KyleB171 | Hi | 01:13 |
| bastid_raZor | kushalsejwal; i understand but hiding files on a windows partition from ubuntu is out of league. i don't know the consequences . | 01:13 |
| Yud_Zroc | Note: Pigion ownes gaim now | 01:13 |
| nickrud | SealedWithAKiss, sorry I didn't give that line earlier, typing and packing up the desk leads to brain farts | 01:13 |
| spiel_mit_feuer | bah.. screw that.. i can admit KDE does have some software better than gnomes | 01:13 |
| kushalsejwal | bastid_raZor: okay then I should better keep them untouched | 01:13 |
| Comedy | does anyone else get an error when trying MP4Box | 01:13 |
| kushalsejwal | bastid_raZor: thanks anyways :) | 01:13 |
| KyleB171 | Does anybody know if crossover works with x64? | 01:13 |
| kindofabuzz | Kvirc ftw | 01:13 |
| Comedy | error while loading shared libraries: libjs.so.0: cannot open shared object file: No such file or directory | 01:13 |
| xlukasx | spiel... what do you need? | 01:13 |
| bastid_raZor | Yud_Zroc; it would be pointless to do so.. you'll never get the beneifit of 64bit with that little of ram | 01:13 |
| Comedy | anyone know how i can fix that? | 01:13 |
| KyleB171 | Does anybody know if crossover works with x64????? | 01:14 |
| bastid_raZor | kushalsejwal; i hope that kinda helped ;) | 01:14 |
| kushalsejwal | bastid_raZor: I wish :D | 01:14 |
| KyleB171 | Does anybody know if crossover works with x64????? HELP | 01:14 |
| Yud_Zroc | bastid_raZor: would it run slower like....lag all the time slow | 01:14 |
| bobertdos | !samba | tropical_dude | 01:14 |
| ubottu | tropical_dude: 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. | 01:14 |
| ailean | could someone help me get my built-in microphone to work on my acer laptop? | 01:14 |
| KyleB171 | Does anybody know if crossover works with x64????? | 01:14 |
| holyhell | bastid_raZor and nickrud vmware fusion tells me: You are running a 64 bit guest opreating system, but the virtual machine is configured to run a 32-bit operating system | 01:14 |
| SealedWithAKiss | nickrud, the file is blank. | 01:14 |
| bastid_raZor | Yud_Zroc; with 32 or 64 you're not going to see much of a difference. the ram is what is holding you back | 01:14 |
| KyleB171 | Ok thanks holyhell | 01:15 |
| SealedWithAKiss | nickrud, 70debconf is empty. | 01:15 |
| KyleB171 | I'll have to install 32bit then :( | 01:15 |
| holyhell | wait KyleB171 i asked a question, didnT give an answer, lol | 01:15 |
| bastid_raZor | holyhell; guest means you told it to install a 64bit OS. redo the set up and tell it 32bit linux/ubuntu | 01:16 |
| Yud_Zroc | bastid_raZor: well i have a 32 bit on my eeepc...it runs without lag...(800mhz) and my friend has a 1.8ghz with same ram...but his runs like crap | 01:16 |
| tropical_dude | thank you guys, but thanks god this time no windows computer, so my question is just linux boxes, thanks | 01:16 |
| bobertdos | !nfs | 01:16 |
| ubottu | nfs is the network file system. See https://help.ubuntu.com/community/SettingUpNFSHowTo for information on installing and configuring NFS. | 01:16 |
| tropical_dude | sweeeeeet! | 01:17 |
| bastid_raZor | Yud_Zroc; maybe the 1.8ghz box is trying to run compiz .. unsure the difference. that little amount of ram is the only hold up. | 01:17 |
| Yud_Zroc | bastid_raZor: it was....it also has a ati m200 so thats the case thenm | 01:17 |
| kushalsejwal | Guys pls help me out, I was experiencing pixelated videos on every player totem VLC etc. So I searched ubuntu forums and added few lines to xorg.conf | 01:18 |
| fwaokda | how can i find out my broadcom chipset verison | 01:19 |
| kushalsejwal | now videos are very flawless but the moment I enable compiz, the videos starts fickering | 01:19 |
| holyhell | bastid_raZor !request query. i told it normal ubuntu, i specifically didnT put 64, i just pressed okay and its doing its thing anyway | 01:19 |
| kushalsejwal | guys pls help I dont want to loose compiz | 01:19 |
| bastid_raZor | Yud_Zroc; i tend to be above the norm on how much my computer actually works.. i hover at about 400MB of ram usage at idle speed. i can't imagine having only 512M | 01:19 |
| bastid_raZor | holyhell; meaning it is installing? | 01:20 |
| Sephr | Does Avant Window Navigator work under VirtualBox? | 01:20 |
| kushalsejwal | I was experiencing pixelated videos on every player totem VLC etc. So I searched ubuntu forums and added few lines to xorg.conf. now videos are very flawless but the moment I enable compiz, the videos starts fickering | 01:20 |
| holyhell | yes | 01:20 |
| holyhell | but actually it might be crashing | 01:20 |
| bastid_raZor | Sephr; probably not unless you can get compiz to work in the virtual macine | 01:20 |
| holyhell | there were two options ubuntu and ubuntu 64 | 01:20 |
| holyhell | i chose ubuntu i am certain of it | 01:20 |
| Sephr | I can't seem to get it to work trying to look os x'ish http://sephr.eligrey.com/i/ubuntu_osx.png | 01:21 |
| holyhell | i think it wants me to use the 64 bit operating system since i am running it in a 64 bit operating system or something | 01:21 |
| bastid_raZor | Sephr; AWN requires compiz.. i don't think virtualbox can push 3d | 01:22 |
| Sephr | well it lets you pick how much memory and video memory you can give the vm | 01:22 |
| bastid_raZor | Sephr; that has nothing to do with hardware acceleration ;) | 01:22 |
| holyhell | bastid_raZor how do i delete all virtual machines on vmware again? | 01:23 |
| Sephr | I gave ubuntu 1.5GB of my spare RAM | 01:23 |
| Sephr | and 200MB video memory | 01:23 |
| kushalsejwal | I was experiencing pixelated videos on every player totem VLC etc. So I searched ubuntu forums and added few lines to xorg.conf. now videos are very playing flawless but the moment I enable compiz, the videos starts fickering. | 01:23 |
| Sephr | that should be enough to use awn | 01:23 |
| smithdwi | anyone familar with the Sansa e250 MP3 player? | 01:23 |
| kushalsejwal | #compiz | 01:24 |
| bastid_raZor | holyhell; i don't know, i've never erased one.. just make another? you could go to the vmware folder and delete them there | 01:24 |
| smithdwi | cannot get it to automount in 8.04 | 01:24 |
| magilum | Has anyone gotten GPG working with Evolution? | 01:24 |
| bastid_raZor | Sephr; you're missing the point. | 01:24 |
| Chaotic_Descent | Is there a music player that will load files from file folders instead of only allowing me to pick tracks by their ID tags? I'm using Rhythmbox, and despite importing files or folders, I can't find the tracks I've imported. | 01:24 |
| NCommander | magilum, I have, it worked out of the box for me | 01:24 |
| magilum | NCommander: Can you encrypt message? I get an error saying that I don't have a public key for the recipient, even though it works in thunderbird. | 01:25 |
| NCommander | magilum, I haven't tried, so I dunno | 01:25 |
| magilum | NCommander: Thanks anyways | 01:25 |
| Sephr | I just don't get how I _need_ hardware accelleration | 01:26 |
| Sephr | the dock doesn't even come up for some reason, all I really want is the basic dock | 01:26 |
| Chaotic_Descent | huh... must be because these old MP3s have no ID3 info in them. -_-; | 01:27 |
| bastid_raZor | Sephr; you can ask in #compiz-fusion or #vmware (if you're using vmware) for a better explanation | 01:27 |
| Chaotic_Descent | god, what is this crazy system where it won't let me play music I have? | 01:27 |
| holyhell | okay bastid_raZor thx, i am trying 64 then | 01:28 |
| Chaotic_Descent | hrm. I can open these old MP3s individually in Rhythmbox, but I can't queue them all up. -_-; | 01:28 |
| holyhell | it likes this better | 01:28 |

| hhp2k | Hey everyone, what command is used to access the compiz settings manager in Ubuntu 8.04? | 01:33 |
| eyyYo | tech0007, yes, but the checkinstall does this to EVERY folder it tries to create. Since its more then two folders, this will take time to do manually. | 01:33 |

| blario6 | can someone help me with envy? | 01:36 |
| glitsj16 | hhp2k: depending on which compiz settings manager you have installed it's either "ccsm" or "simple-ccsm" | 01:37 |
| bastid_raZor | !envy | blario6 | 01:37 |
| ubottu | blario6: envyng is an updated version of the *UNSUPPORTED* envy package. It is now part of the ubuntu universe repository (envyng-gtk OR envyng-qt) and has community support. As an early version, its results may vary but this should be used over the unsupported envy package. | 01:37 |
| hhp2k | glitsj16: Thanks =D Figured it out | 01:38 |

| cptr13 | does it require a lot of kde dependancies to use? or no? | 02:00 |

| FAJALOU | cptr13: some but not many, if you want to burn to a disk from amarok, it uses more | 02:00 |
| Abed | i dunno actually but if u don't have KDE forget about it | 02:00 |

| unclemike | how do i change the icon for the gnome menu | 02:35 |
| tech0007 | hhp2k: follow this guide https://help.ubuntu.com/community/CairoDock | 02:35 |
| Joki | Histo: Maybe I should reinstall my network adapter? | 02:35 |
| tech0007 | unclemike: just one icon or the whole icon theme set? | 02:35 |
| tj83 | Joki, sometimes sites like www.speedtestnet.net cache's the file. so when you refresh then it basically gives your the speed read from the hdd.. not the site. so its giving you an inaccurate display. | 02:35 |
| histo | Joki: nah something else is going on. | 02:35 |
| olivia | tovella, i just saw i also have the openjdk 6 installed, is it relevant? | 02:36 |
| Joki | tj83, I download from newsgroups. Giganews.com | 02:36 |
| unclemike | tech0007, just the icon for the gnome menu on the panel | 02:36 |
| histo | Joki: you receive higher speeds in windows over ubuntu on the same hardware? | 02:36 |
| tovella | olivia: it could be. | 02:36 |
| Joki | my download is 2400kbs | 02:36 |
| Joki | yes, Histo. | 02:36 |
| Joki | On windows speed is a little higher than on Ubuntu | 02:36 |
| hhp2k | tech0007: Thanks! | 02:36 |
| Joki | My download was 2400 now its 500 | 02:36 |
| tech0007 | unclemike: is it the small ubuntu icon near Applications? | 02:37 |
| afallenhope | Can i add a debian item to my "source.list"? | 02:37 |

| unclemike | tech0007, yes | 02:37 |
| wols_ | arooni: install fluxbuntu-desktop | 02:37 |

| Joki | its a big difference. from 2400 KB's to 500 KB's | 02:37 |

| Idealist2 | hey guys | 02:37 |

| Joki | Thanks for trying Histo. | 02:38 |
| Joki | I am going to uninstall my network adapters and reinstall them with fresh drivers | 02:39 |
| Idealist2 | Everything works fine in Elisa, except when I try to get into the settings it just sits there. The little cog icon from within the program, I click it 9000 times and it does nothing | 02:39 |
| tj83 | Joki, i 2nd histo.. but it could be many thing.s | 02:39 |
| Joki | maybe that will clean everything up | 02:39 |
| Idealist2 | I'm trying to figure out whats wrong | 02:39 |
| tj83 | Joki, check how the cables are laying in relation to other cables physically | 02:39 |
| Joki | ok | 02:39 |
| olivia | tovella, should i uninstall one of the two? i think i had one of the two installed while trying to solve other sound problems, one of them was trying to make skype work, what i think may be a related problem. i didn't have any sucess with skype yet either. | 02:39 |

| Joki | tj 83, thanks | 02:39 |
| tj83 | ethernet cables should never run parallel to power wires. | 02:39 |
| Joki | that could be, tj83 | 02:39 |
| glitsj16 | Joki: are you on broadband ? if so, there's some setitngs in /etc/sysctl.conf you could check as well | 02:39 |
| tovella | olivia: no, i would leave them both in place, for now. | 02:40 |
| tech0007 | unclemike: the 32x32 depends on the pixel size of your panel | 02:40 |
| jc6 | hi I forgot root password can i know how to reset it | 02:40 |
| olivia | tovella, ok | 02:40 |
| hhp2k | tech0007: Following the Ubuntu guide for Cairo-Dock, sudo-apt get update fails to download files from the cairo respository.. did you get that problem initially? | 02:40 |
| histo | Joki: there are a lot of things but I would try a different news app in ubuntu and see if you get different speeds. | 02:40 |
| Dein_ | is there a way to prevent the mouse cursor from moving between displays without some key combination or something? it's really annoying when i accidentally lose it | 02:40 |
| histo | Joki: if not then I would start suspecting drivers or something. | 02:40 |
| san_ | <jc6>: you try with sex, love, money or 1234 ?? | 02:41 |

| unclemike | tech0007, ok thanks | 02:41 |
| Soopa | I want to remove some things | 02:41 |
| histo | Joki: but its not windows so reinstalling drivers isn't going to do anything. You would most likely have to stop using the kernel drivers and use updated versions or someting. | 02:41 |
| bobrock | how do I enable internet connect sharing in hardy | 02:41 |

| Joki | I did. Different websites | 02:44 |

| jmarsden | wols_: I didn't tell him to set it, I showed him how to reset it, which is exactly what eh asked for.\ | 02:44 |

| CorbinFox | aw, never mind, i missed the fact that i would need to get a verizon subscription...damn.....that is why it was so affordable XD they get you with the verizon cost | 02:46 |
| wols_ | jmarsden: then you don't run ubuntu. and what you do with your own ubuntu is no one's business but what you tell others here is | 02:46 |
| Soopa | san_: I don't want to edit the menus, though... I just want to remove the MS Windows-style window list | 02:47 |

| matthias_N | hi installed gnash but in youtube it is not playing but the black screen appears and than disappears immediately and in the place of the "movie ther is just blanc" | 02:54 |
| Joki | gtsj16, Are you able to give me some steps on replacing this | 02:54 |
| san_ | <Soopa>: look at the separator you have before the window list. click there and put remove from panel | 02:54 |
| glitsj16 | Joki: the settings need to be changed in /etc/sysctl.conf, so use something like sudo gedit /etc/sysctl.conf for those first, after you made the changes you run "sudo sysctl -p" in a terminal to make those active, they are in effect from that moment | 02:54 |
| histo | Joki: yeah blacklisting ipv6 may solve your problems | 02:54 |

| izanbardprince | hmmm, I watched a video on Google where this dude from Novell said Canonical has given 6 patches in 5 years to the kernel, I see tons in .25 and .26 | 03:20 |
| Pelo | this is just plain weird, I thought it was because of my bad mobo, but apparently it might be an issue with hardy , printers connected to lpt1 only print garbage, same printer connected to my lpt2 ( pci parralelle port card) work fine | 03:21 |
| izanbardprince | I wonder what he was smoking | 03:21 |
| unop | drut, use the !pastebin and post the contents of this command there. mount && sudo fdisk -l | 03:21 |

| gettingStabbed | yup | 03:23 |
| izanbardprince | I wish Intrepid wasn't so horribly broken at the moment | 03:23 |
| jmarsden | mrtech: Good. Looks like the package doesn't install into the Gnome menus tree quite right or something, you coudl file a but about that if you want. | 03:23 |
| izanbardprince | I'd be using it for the kernel alone | 03:23 |

| raichlea | Matthew, it probably doesn't recognize the drive cause it's formatted for ubuntu | 03:37 |
| * prince_jammys guesses permissions | 03:37 | |
| raichlea | Matthew, you probably need to use gparted off the livecd and create an NTFS partition or a blank one | 03:37 |
| izanbardprince | drut: Run runescape as an unsigned applet | 03:37 |
| izanbardprince | IcedTea hates the signed applet | 03:38 |
| Matthew | raichlea, I used the livecd partion editor and set aside 5.5 gigs | 03:38 |
| drut | I did | 03:38 |
| drut | unop: i did | 03:38 |
| Pelo | sorry for the part | 03:38 |
| raichlea | Matthew, just be careful because I *think* that the XP bootloader will take over. Usually you have to install Windows first | 03:38 |
| raichlea | Matthew, what did you format it as? | 03:38 |
| Flannel | !grub | Matthew | 03:38 |
| ubottu | Matthew: grub is the default Ubuntu boot manager. Lost grub after installing windows: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/RecoveringUbuntuAfterInstallingWindows - Making GRUB floppies & other GRUB howtos: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/GrubHowto | 03:38 |
| izanbardprince | raichlea: Just reinstall GRUB | 03:38 |
| izanbardprince | :P | 03:38 |
| Flannel | Matthew: you'll need to use the first link there to reinstall GRUB after windows eats it. | 03:38 |
| izanbardprince | it's not all that hard | 03:38 |
| izanbardprince | SuperGRUB disk works well | 03:39 |
| raichlea | izanbardprince, it's Matthew that needs the help. I was just pointing out what would happen | 03:39 |
| Matthew | raichlea, and flannel, I have a list of instructions on how to fix the boot loader. | 03:39 |

| drut | unop, thanks, ill tell you what happens | 03:41 |
| izanbardprince | Matthew: What kind of hard drive? EIDE, SATA? Does it use RAID? | 03:41 |
| raichlea | try formatting it to FAT32 or NTFS and see if that helps. | 03:41 |
| izanbardprince | RAID controllers can be very troublesome | 03:42 |
| Matthew | izanbardprince...I think it's sata, how can i find out for sure | 03:42 |
| izanbardprince | setting it to not use RAID usually fixes that | 03:42 |
| raichlea | Matthew, XP setup will not see SATA natively | 03:42 |
| unop | drut, actually, have a read here. https://answers.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/firefox-3.0/+question/39307 | 03:42 |
| izanbardprince | XP will see SATA | 03:42 |
| izanbardprince | but it has no RAID drivers | 03:42 |
| piranah | only if Sp1 is loaded | 03:42 |
| raichlea | izanbardprince, not usually | 03:42 |
| Matthew | raichlea, OK thank you i will keep that in mind...how can I tell what kind of harddrive I have. | 03:42 |

| neon | or you can slipstream the driver using nlite which is easier | 03:43 |
| raichlea | izanbardprince, Matthew, generally to install XP on a SATA drive you need to load the drivers via floppy drive or slipstream using nlite. | 03:43 |

| izanbardprince | Nlite is awesome | 03:44 |
| Matthew | if I just want to fresh install xp, then resize and fresh install ubuntu. what would you suggest? wipe the whole drive? | 03:44 |

| Matthew | Yes, I'm looking to get a new media player. I only have Hardy at the moment (no Windows). I would like to know which device (ipod, zune, sansa etc.) works best with Ubuntu | 03:51 |
| Evilsboytoy | wols_ - great, now i have to reinstall the software cause it's not booting now | 03:51 |
| decay | But, does anyone know why Terminal won't stay as a launcher in awn? | 03:51 |
| raichlea | Matthew, I've head the ipod + amarok work | 03:51 |
| wols_ | Evilsboytoy: you have a livecd. use it | 03:51 |
| Evilsboytoy | wols_ to do what ? | 03:51 |
| Chaotic_Descent | why does VLC not play audio in videos that MPlayer can play just fine? If I could figure out how to load DVDs with MPlayer, I wouldn't mind. | 03:51 |
| Matthew | raichlea, thank you...I'd like to avoid the ipod though. | 03:51 |
| raichlea | Matthew, well I would certainly recommend against the zune... the rest are just simply over glorified usb sticks and should work just fine | 03:52 |
| hhp2k | Hey everyone, I just installed Ubuntu on my desktop and I have a SoundBlaster 5.1 Surround sound card, with 5.1 surround hooked up to it. When the speakers are on, they make a shitload of white noise, when they should be silent. Anyone know why this is happening? | 03:52 |
| glitsj16 | Chaotic_Descent: did you try experimenting with the different audio output settings in VLC yet to dtermine if you can get audio going ? | 03:52 |
| Matthew | raichlea, ha okay thank you. | 03:53 |
| michael__ | hi, i have a question on my machine, i have a maxtor 80G pata harddisk, but why it is used as sda(scsi device) on my computer. | 03:53 |
| bobertdos | raichlea: Is it possible you just didn't have the Sun plugin properly linked before? I've helped a number of people with this. Maybe I could help you with that. | 03:53 |
| wols_ | michael__: all hdds are nod sda and using the scsi layer | 03:53 |
| raichlea | bobertdos, it's possible... what I can use to test? | 03:53 |
| Evilsboytoy | srsly, what do i do to get my ubuntu hardy to boot now that todays updates crashed it ?? | 03:53 |
| wols_ | raichlea: about:plugins | 03:53 |
| Chaotic_Descent | glitsj16: I'm not familiar with VLC. where are these audio output settings? I don't see any under audio's advanced settings... steam output? no... | 03:53 |
| michael__ | but times ago, i use it as hda, this is the new driver? | 03:54 |
| raichlea | well I see GCJ Web Browser Plugin (using IcedTea) there now. what info do you need? | 03:54 |
| wols_ | michael__: yes it's a new driver | 03:54 |
| bobertdos | michael__: sda doesn't mean SATA, it means "storage device A" | 03:54 |
| wols_ | raichlea: wrong plugin. | 03:54 |
| Chaotic_Descent | glitsj16: oh. the arrow expands subsections. I remember seeing that before. | 03:54 |
| Evilsboytoy | don't use it it will crash yo system | 03:54 |
| Evilsboytoy | fucking ubuntu | 03:54 |
| michael_m | cpu frequency problem, can someone help? | 03:54 |
| glitsj16 | Chaotic_Descent: yes, try changing the output modules in there | 03:54 |
| raichlea | wols_, prior to this I had the standard java one there and it didn't work | 03:54 |
| michael__ | and an other question, i test it in windows, result at 17mb/s, but i use hdparm in linux, it show me 57ms/s | 03:55 |
| bobertdos | !ohmy > Evilsboytoy | 03:55 |
| ubottu | Evilsboytoy, please see my private message | 03:55 |
| raichlea | wols, bobertdos, which would you recommend? | 03:55 |
| Justinlol | how do u create ne room? | 03:55 |
| michael__ | that is the same as my matox 250G sata harddisk. | 03:55 |
| bobertdos | raichlea: Sun, as long as it's properly linked :) | 03:55 |
| drut | unop, thanks for the link, I read it and fixed the problem | 03:55 |
| meatrun | Hello i don't mean to bother, but could someone suggest a channel that a very new user could ask a question as to why his sound wouldn't work? | 03:56 |
| Chaotic_Descent | arg. VLC freezes every time I try to stop it playing... so every time I test it it takes half a minute for it to respond. | 03:56 |
| raichlea | bobertdos, ok, I will remove iced tea now and teset | 03:56 |
| Vock | Hey, i'm having some problems with installing Ubuntu, I'm on the Live CD right now, was wondering if someone could pm me n help me out a bit? | 03:56 |
| Justinlol | how do u make a new room? | 03:56 |
| bobertdos | raichlea: Are you using the built-in Firefox 3 or Mozilla's version? | 03:56 |
| riegersn | anyone using the new banshee 1.0 ? | 03:56 |
| dr_Willis | Justinlol, you mean /join #myOwnpersonalroom | 03:56 |
| Chaotic_Descent | any way to guess which audio output setting is likely to work? | 03:56 |
| Justinlol | yes ty | 03:56 |
| michael_m | meatrun: what distro are u using and what is ur sound card? | 03:56 |
| raichlea | I'm not sure... I *think* it was installed with Ubuntu | 03:57 |
| michael__ | wols: do you know why i get the same result of my maxtor 80G pata harddsik and my maxtor 250 sata harddisk. | 03:57 |
| Justinlol | dr_Willis yes thank you | 03:57 |
| riegersn | banshee only allowing me to add 1 podcast, anyone heard of this issue? | 03:57 |
| raichlea | bobertdos, I did a clean install | 03:57 |
| glitsj16 | Chaotic_Descent: what is it set to right now (that's not working) ? | 03:57 |
| raichlea | Mozilla/5.0 (X11; U; Linux i686; en-US; rv:1.9) Gecko/2008061015 Firefox/3.0 | 03:57 |
| Justinlol | /join #myOwnpersonalroom | 03:57 |
| Justinlol | right | 03:57 |
| Chaotic_Descent | glitsj16: default. | 03:57 |
| michael__ | wols: they are both 57mb/s | 03:57 |
| Bosco | i have a problem i have an atheros wireless card after install it says that it is using the atheros driver but it wont load i can only see (ETHO and LO) how do i get it working | 03:57 |
| dr_Willis | Justinlol, you may want to read up on irc basics. :) technically they care called Channels. and they get auto created at join, if non-existant. Unless the server has the channels registered. then Its a littel differently | 03:57 |
| glitsj16 | Caotic_Descent: try ALSA and refresh the list of devices | 03:58 |
| Vock | I have just used Partion editor to make all the partitions I want before installing Ubuntu, but when I try to install it from the LiveCD and go manual, i'm wondering how to pick the one I want to be the root drive | 03:58 |
| michael__ | wols: and i test it in windows, the 80G disk just have a 17mb/s speed. | 03:58 |
| meatrun | I'm not sure of what distro mean :-$ but here is the info about the card i have 03:04.0 Multimedia audio controller: Creative Labs SB X-Fi | 03:58 |
| meatrun | Subsystem: Creative Labs X-Fi XtremeMusic | 03:58 |
| meatrun | Flags: bus master, medium devsel, latency 64, IRQ 11 | 03:58 |
| meatrun | I/O ports at bce0 [size=32] | 03:58 |
| meatrun | Memory at dac00000 (64-bit, non-prefetchable) [size=2M] | 03:58 |
| FloodBot2 | meatrun: Please don't flood, use http://paste.ubuntu-nl.org to paste, don't use Enter as punctuation. | 03:58 |
| bobertdos | raichlea: oh okay..........So you installed sun-java6-plugin, initially? | 03:58 |
| meatrun | Memory at d4000000 (64-bit, non-prefetchable) [size=64M] | 03:58 |
| meatrun | Capabilities: <access denied> | 03:58 |
| michael__ | wols: the 250G sata disk have 68mb/s | 03:58 |
| raichlea | bobertdos, yes, initially and then removed it. I just reinstalled it now | 03:58 |
| meatrun | sorry | 03:59 |
| Chaotic_Descent | It's strange. VLC was working fine before. maybe it's because I reinstalled the restricted driver package or whatever it was that allowed me to play DVDs and MP3s and such. | 03:59 |
| glitsj16 | Chaotic_Descent: typo in your nick sorry, try ALSA and refresh the list of devices to see if you can spot your sound card | 03:59 |
| michael__ | anyone here know what is this command (hdparm -tT) really meant? | 03:59 |
| Chaotic_Descent | glitsj16: yeah. tried ALSA with both the options in the refreshed list that it gave me. no luck. | 03:59 |
| dr_Willis | Justinlol, seriously man. read up on the irc client fetures, dont just start trying them out on people. :) some people find the dcc chat stuff rude. :P | 03:59 |
| crashsystems | @michael that command tests the performance for the HD. see the man entry for more. | 03:59 |
| bobertdos | raichlea: So, if you type about:plugins into Firefox, is Java listed? | 03:59 |
| raichlea | bobertdos, now I have Java(TM) Plug-in 1.6.0_06-b02 | 04:00 |
| raichlea | File name: libjavaplugin_oji.so | 04:00 |
| raichlea | Java(TM) Plug-in 1.6.0_06 installed and showing in about:plugins. It was there before and didn't work, but let me test again | 04:00 |
| Justinlol | oh | 04:00 |
| raichlea | sorry | 04:00 |
| Justinlol | ok | 04:00 |
| michael__ | crashsystems: i have a question about that. seemly, it cant give me a true result. | 04:00 |
| glitsj16 | Chaotic_Descent: what exactly did you install sound related ? any ideas ? | 04:00 |
| crashsystems | @michael__ what do you mean? | 04:00 |
| madfrancis | I need some serious assistance. I am having a lot of conflictions with my video card. I had everything running fine until I started trying to get dual displays to work in ubuntu. Now it thinks it's running dual so I can only see half of the screen and yet my 2nd display doesn't isn't showing shit. | 04:01 |
| smit | what program can i download to burn an iso image to a dvd | 04:01 |
| Bosco | i have a problem i have an atheros wireless card after install it says that it is using the atheros driver but it wont load i can only see (ETHO and LO) how do i get it working | 04:01 |
| raichlea | bobertdos, trying to run it now and it's just greying out and freezing up like it used to.. | 04:01 |
| dr_Willis | smit, you mean under linux/ubuntu? there should be some allready installed.. | 04:01 |
| Chaotic_Descent | glitsj16: uh... some music players. and reinstalled some restricted package... arg. you want the name? | 04:01 |
| michael__ | crashsystems: as i said. i have two disk. one maxtor 80G pata, i buy it at 2004, other 250 sata, i buy it 2007. | 04:01 |
| smit | dr_willis: how do i access | 04:01 |
| jtaji | smit: it's built in to gnome, just right click the .iso and burn to disk... | 04:02 |
| michael_m | meatrun: u might want to check out the beta driver http://opensource.creative.com/soundcard.html | 04:02 |
| michael__ | crashsystems: i use the command to test both. but it showed me almost same result. | 04:02 |
| bobertdos | raichlea: If you go into about:config and set plugin.expose_fullpath to true, what path is java listed as in about:plugins? | 04:02 |
| crashsystems | @michael__ that is strange | 04:02 |
| Chaotic_Descent | glitsj16: ubuntu-restricted-extras I think it the one I reinstalled. but VLC was working when it was installed. I'm pretty sure it's just since I REinstalled it (after I had some other problem) | 04:02 |
| glitsj16 | Chaotic_Descent: i use pulseaudio and after installing vlc-plugin-pulse i get nice audio with the default settings in VLC .. are you runningpulseaudio ? | 04:02 |
| michael__ | crashsystems: yes, it showed me both 57mb/s | 04:03 |
| meatrun | thank you Michael_m i will try it out | 04:03 |
| crashsystems | @michael__ does that vary any from one test to another? | 04:03 |
| raichlea | bobertdos, File name: /usr/lib/jvm/java-6-sun-1.6.0.06/jre/plugin/i386/ns7/libjavaplugin_oji.so | 04:03 |
| bobertdos | raichlea: alright, now in the terminal, what is the output of: sudo update-java-alternatives -l? | 04:04 |
| glitsj16 | Chaotic_Descent: thanks, that might have changed your default sound server settings, not to familiar with that package to be sure though sorry | 04:04 |
| michael_m | cpu frequency problem can someone help? | 04:04 |
| raichlea | java-6-openjdk 1061 /usr/lib/jvm/java-6-openjdk | 04:04 |
| raichlea | java-6-sun 63 /usr/lib/jvm/java-6-sun | 04:04 |
| michael__ | crashsystems: yes, a little. the 250 sata one. result in 56mb/s. the 80 pata old one, result in 57mb/s. a little quick?? | 04:04 |
| theRealBall | howdy | 04:05 |
| smit | why cant i view my external hdd? | 04:05 |
| crashsystems | @michael__ I'd think so. However, if the old one is a little faster than expected, I'd certainly not complain. | 04:05 |
| michael__ | crashsystems: but if i test both in windows. the 250 one. result in 58mb/s. the 80 pata, result in 17mb/s | 04:05 |
| crashsystems | @michael__ I'm stuck with IDE on my desktop box :( | 04:05 |
| Guest3043 | Does Ubuntu have network traffic monitor(packet sniffer) installed by default | 04:06 |
| ManualOverDozer | sure does | 04:06 |
| crashsystems | @michael__ what file system are you using in linux? | 04:06 |
| smit | why cant i view my external hdd? | 04:06 |
| michael__ | crashsystems: ext3 | 04:06 |
| ManualOverDozer | look in repositpry for things like that | 04:06 |
| Guest3043 | What is the name of this monitor? | 04:06 |
| otg | hello | 04:06 |
| drut | hi, otg | 04:06 |
| smit | WHY CANT I VIEW MY EXTERNAL HDD | 04:07 |
| bobertdos | raichlea: try this: sudo update-java-alternatives -s /usr/lib/jvm/java-6-sun | 04:07 |
| crashsystems | @michael__ I assume that in windows you have ntfs? | 04:07 |
| rhrh | hello | 04:07 |
| ManualOverDozer | maybe you need to mount the drive to see it | 04:07 |
| otg | hrrlo | 04:07 |

| ManualOverDozer | ntfs can be read by both windows and linux | 04:07 |
| Chaotic_Descent | glitsj16: "running" pulseaudio? I don't know. I didn't install anything with that name. the thing is, I reinstalled VLC, and I thought that would fix it. I mean, if reinstalling the ubuntu-restricted-extras broke it, why would reinstalling it fix it now? :S I can't figure out how it got broken. | 04:07 |
| smit | why cant i view my external hard drive | 04:07 |

| ManualOverDozer | you may need to mount it as a drive to see the external, just a shot in the dark | 04:08 |
| smit | um | 04:08 |
| otg | xxx | 04:08 |
| smit | why cant i view my external hard drive | 04:08 |

| crashsystems | @michael__ perhaps there is something about that old drive that causes a significant discrepancy in performance between ntfs and ext3(?) Too much into hardware specifics for me to guess. | 04:08 |

| crashsystems | @michael__ perhaps there is an obscure bug in it that causes this problem with that particular drive. Have you checked launchpad for open bugs? | 04:11 |
| raichlea | shane_, no idea | 04:11 |

| Chaotic_Descent | glitsj16: how do I start VLC from terminal? I know the terminal. | 04:14 |
| michael__ | crashsystems: so where are you from? | 04:14 |
| bobertdos | raichlea: Yeah, you just have to create a symbolic link in the appropriate plugins directory. I don't know where that is in Opera, but if you can find it, that's what you would do. Maybe Pango would work with a newer version of the JRE, downloaded directly from Sun........ | 04:14 |
| dr_Willis | Chaotic_Descent, thje command is 'vlc' :) | 04:14 |
| glitsj16 | Chaotic_Descent: just run "vlc" | 04:14 |

| pabix | smit, no need to repeat twice or thrice | 04:17 |
| ManualOverDozer | does your USB port show ? | 04:17 |
| dr_Willis | smit, you could always try mounting it manually - assuming its ntfs filesystem with a command like ---> sudo ntfs-3g /dev/sda1 /media/Windows_MAKE_this_directoryfirst -o force | 04:17 |
| dr_Willis | 04:17 | |
| Mechdave | Guest3043, apt-get would not let you do that :) | 04:17 |

| ManualOverDozer | i mount manual, with mount manager | 04:17 |
| glitsj16 | Chaotic_Descent: that looks like you're VLC settings point to use OSS if i'm not mistaking .. could you recheck those ? | 04:17 |
| Bosco | michael__, no it is not one sec and i will tell you what it is | 04:17 |
| Chaotic_Descent | glitsj16: yup. it was. I'll try another one. | 04:17 |
| pabix | smit, are you using GNOME? | 04:17 |
| Guest3043 | No, I meant packet sniffers in general, not Wireshark specifically | 04:17 |

| ManualOverDozer | ehterreal is packet sniffer, same as wireshark, which are very good packet sniffers | 04:18 |
| pabix | Maybe, disk mounter | 04:18 |
| bobertdos | raichlea: no problem | 04:18 |
| Mechdave | ManualOverDozer, I thought ethereal = wireshark | 04:18 |

| ManualOverDozer | yes it does | 04:18 |

| bobertdos | smit: As in, sudo fdisk -l (in the terminal)? | 04:19 |
| wols_ | Chaotic_Descent: the program which outputs sound uses oss tho. load the alsa oss emulation layer | 04:19 |
| glitsj16 | Chaotic_Descent: try changing the settings back to default and close VLC, then reopen, not that i can explain, but just to see what's going on :) | 04:19 |

| smit | i was right, none of my usb device are working in ubuntu | 04:34 |
| freonchill | ok, thanks for the information | 04:34 |
| smit | how do i fix it | 04:35 |
| Scientus_ | how do i find and add bonjour printers? | 04:35 |
| ManualOverDozer | thats it, if your USB wont work, the drive will never appear, no matter what you do | 04:35 |
| ManualOverDozer | USB being the issue | 04:35 |
| glitsj16 | Chaotic_Descent: many ways, but i find getting over to packages.ubuntu.com and downloading the flashplugin-nonfree .deb from there the easiest by far .. after you have that, just double-click it | 04:35 |
| smit | no ubuntu, being the issue | 04:35 |
| smit | the drives work, but not in ubuntu | 04:35 |
| smit | how do i enable drives in ubuntu | 04:35 |
| smit | i mean usb | 04:35 |
| ManualOverDozer | look in repository | 04:36 |
| dr_Willis | thats weird that usb is not working.. i imagine the usb controller may be so new its not supported.. or confusing things.. | 04:36 |
| glitsj16 | Chaotic_Descent: left out the important part, look for the Intrepid deb for flashplugin-nonfree :) | 04:36 |
| Mechdave | smit, what brand drives are they? | 04:36 |
| Zooback | would anyone know why i have a much weaker connection to my LAN when using ubuntu as opposed to running windows xp from the same machine? | 04:36 |

| smit | it used to be 10 seconds | 04:36 |
| spasticteapot | zooback: Quite possibly the same connection strength - Windows is likely lying. | 04:36 |
| dr_Willis | ManualOverDozer, Yea. ive only seen it once. ages ago. with a odd brand usb card. i had. | 04:36 |
| smit | i think ubuntu is broken | 04:37 |
| ManualOverDozer | Zooback i find the oposite, i have much more speed with ubuntu, on the net, than with windows | 04:37 |
| smit | how do i repair ubuntu | 04:37 |
| ManualOverDozer | dr_willis, that may be just it, old hardware | 04:37 |
| smit | actually, does the livecd contain the dvd burner | 04:37 |
| harpreet | Rampou: check whether the link exists | 04:37 |
| Mechdave | smit, I heard maxtor don't work in linux | 04:37 |
| ManualOverDozer | smit most things can be just uninstalled and reinstalled in ubuntu, not much need to reinstall or repair the whole OS, like you may have to do in widnows so many time | 04:38 |

| ManualOverDozer | michael , do you happen to see a performace drop in the system, running at 800mhz? after all, cpu measuring tools are alot of times, incorrectly reading cpu speed | 04:42 |
| Bios_Element_ | dr_willis, Thanks for the help. I'll get working on seeing what I can do and be back if i can't. | 04:42 |
| ManualOverDozer | it may be that it is runing at 1.8ghz, just showing 800mhz, asd i have seen before | 04:42 |
| dr_Willis | gnychis, you can install the 'stand alone' vnc4server, or other vncserver packages, and ssh in and run them,. or set them up to run from rc.local if you wanted. No need to have a 'local' desktop (or x even) running at all. | 04:43 |
| neon | michael_m: do you have powernowd installed ? | 04:43 |
| pale-yafa | gnychis: just make it accept connections automatically, and protect this with password | 04:43 |
| dr_Willis | gnychis, people sitting at the lcoal machine cant watch what you are doing either. :) | 04:43 |
| michael_m | neon: i dont know, never heard of it | 04:43 |
| glitsj16 | Chaotic_Descent: remove what you have as flashplugin-nonfree in synaptic first and double-click this .deb file after doing that, that should give firefox the beta 10 flash plugin .. http://packages.ubuntu.com/intrepid/i386/flashplugin-nonfree/download | 04:43 |

| FenixNR | I have free space that I deleted off, just for ubuntu | 05:01 |
| harpreet | Rampou: then at the bottom of the list add both two lines and save it and exit ...try installing afterwards.. got it? | 05:01 |
| glitsj16 | unavailabe: those are actual package names, screenlets look rather nice, and you can put them on the compiz 'widget layer' | 05:01 |
| unavailable | glitsj16: and the problem is when you enable different backgrounds for cube desktop, you have to disable nautilus draw desktop, which kills your icons | 05:01 |
| FenixNR | So I tried the freespace partition, after it does that, it stops on the swap with an error | 05:01 |
| Flannel | FenixNR: yes, that's not what I asked. But you do have other partitions? How many? 3? and you're trying to make at least two? | 05:01 |
| unavailable | glitsj16: yes and I use screenlets. | 05:01 |
| unavailable | glitsj16: but again i havent been able to find any | 05:02 |

| FenixNR | Whenever I try to partition, after the second partition wether it be the ext3 or swap, it will make the rest unusable | 05:04 |
| Flannel | FenixNR: This has nothing to do with the space. It has everything to do with the fact you can only have four primary partitions (or three primary and one exteneded) partition. | 05:04 |

| timsandtoms | Tarelerulz_man, I don't wanna screw with my NTFS partition, I want to resize my ext3 partition and install Ubuntu AGAIN on it. So instead of having one partition for Ubuntu and one for WinXP, I'd have TWO copies of Ubuntu installed and one copy of WinXP. But I just realized that was incredibly stupid and I could just make a new user account in Ubuntu... | 05:15 |

| FenixNR | timsandtoms nope | 05:16 |
| harpreet | FenixNR: it didnt say anything else why or anything? | 05:16 |

| Tarelerulz_man | timsand I understand I am just saying make partitoin out of ntfs is easy with gpart and it does linux's partition type as well. The partition type will need to be change so you can have more then 4 partitions. I had to do that to have 3 os on my system. | 05:19 |
| ManualOverDozer | smit ? | 05:19 |
| unavailable | but it will probably say no processes killed right away | 05:19 |
| pabix | wolv, dont ask to ask, ask | 05:19 |

| Shish | unavailable: wow..... so it didnt say no processes killed.. right away.. but the sound works now | 05:19 |

| wolv | I know its 110 + 2GB swap | 05:23 |
| smit | manualoverdozer, everything was working fine earlier today | 05:23 |
| unavailable | ok | 05:23 |
| nickrud | mewshi dhclient gets the ip address from the router, and sets up access to internet | 05:23 |
| * unavailable thinks that still doesnt add up | 05:23 | |
| wolv | after creating partiton I cant create new folder on it | 05:23 |

| pabix | wolv, you name it how you want | 05:38 |
| wolv | k | 05:38 |
| pabix | but the directory must exist, and it will be mounted there | 05:38 |
| mewshi_ | ok | 05:38 |
| magic_ninja | is there a program out there that will monitor my hardware temps, etc like gkrellm but output the results | 05:38 |
| R0b0t1 | Is there a way I can start up in text only mode? | 05:39 |
| ManualOverDozer | magic_nija yes there is, but, your motherboard or hardware must have temp sensors for them to work | 05:39 |
| mewshi_ | i'm getting really pissed off here. I want my wireless to work properly, and if i can't get more than 30 seconds out of it, then that is NOT working properly | 05:39 |
| nickrud | weretac0 yeah, you can try that, or using prevu to backport from intrepid | 05:39 |
| smit | FINALLY! | 05:39 |

| smit | ManualOverDozer, thanks for the help | 05:40 |

| mewshi_ | could someone please help me out here? I've been *trying* to get it to work | 05:43 |
| nickrud | hillwolf no | 05:43 |

| harpreet | hillwolf: is it 64 bit or 32 | 05:43 |
| hillwolf | nickrud ok,thank y | 05:43 |
| pabix | wolv, I will soon go for my lunch | 05:43 |
| tovella | joshual: there may also be a video on category5.tv ...use the search bar for joomla. | 05:43 |
| prymal | mewshi_: what's the problem?! | 05:43 |
| smit | and to think, all of this because my other laptop doesnt have a dvd burner | 05:43 |
| wolv | k | 05:43 |
| pabix | is it working? | 05:43 |

| wolv | pabix, I tried | 05:44 |
| hillwolf | really | 05:44 |
| wolv | its automounting | 05:44 |
| mewshi_ | I said it not even 10 minutes ago | 05:44 |
| hillwolf | i try it now,thanks | 05:44 |
| nickrud | harpreet vmware 6 supports hardware access to video? | 05:44 |
| wolv | but still cant create folders | 05:44 |
| mewshi_ | My wireless card (bcm4318) refuses to work consistently | 05:44 |
| alsryth | all: I believe mewshi_ is experiencing an issue where his wireless connection stops working after about 30 seconds. | 05:44 |
| mewshi_ | Yeah, that would be about it | 05:44 |
| ManualOverDozer | mewshi , what is your signal strength ? | 05:44 |
| mewshi_ | no, it's not the signal strength | 05:44 |
| mysticdarkhack | hey all | 05:44 |
| pabix | wolv, there must be some options to set… I leave it to some other person… sorry! | 05:44 |
| harpreet | nickrud hes taking abt 3d desktop effects n if u hv right driver ,then ya | 05:44 |
| wolv | k no prob | 05:45 |
| mysticdarkhack | Sa, what is hardy heron default theme? | 05:45 |
| ManualOverDozer | mewshi signal strength is important too. | 05:45 |
| pabix | Have a nice day, everybody | 05:45 |
| wolv | thanks for help :) | 05:45 |
| mewshi_ | It is not the signal strength! | 05:45 |
| pabix | or night, I dont know | 05:45 |
| nickrud | harpreet as a general rule, virtualization hasn't supported 3d video drivers. I'm open to the idea the vmware 6 does, I haven't investigated but I'd be really pleasantly suprised | 05:45 |
| weretac0 | ok | 05:45 |
| ManualOverDozer | mewshi sometimes the smallest things seemd to make no differene, in all actuallity, they do. | 05:45 |
| weretac0 | it mounts now | 05:45 |
| weretac0 | but i don't have permission to view the contents :p | 05:45 |
| ajhtiredwolf | nickrud, hey is there a way to make the scale apply to minimized windows as well? | 05:45 |
| mewshi_ | IT IS NOT THE GOD-DAMNED STRENGTH, I KNOW THE DIFFERENCE. | 05:46 |
| alsryth | mewshi: is there a microwave oven, cordless phone or any other devices which may use the 2.4ghz frequency close by? | 05:46 |
| donkdonk | how do i make sure debconf does not run when i use apt-get? | 05:46 |
| mysticdarkhack | anyone? | 05:46 |
| ManualOverDozer | mewshi , how familiar are you with Ubuntu ? | 05:46 |
| nickrud | ajhtiredwolf not sure, | 05:46 |
| mewshi_ | Not very, I just came from sabayon | 05:46 |
| tovella | mysticdarkhack: i believe it's called "Human" | 05:46 |
| joshual | thx tovella, nickrud | 05:46 |
| ManualOverDozer | mewshi, just as alsrth said, simple things may make all the difference, like cell phones, cordless devices, and antyhing that can effect the 2.4ghz band | 05:47 |
| nickrud | ajhtiredwolf not that I see either | 05:47 |
| tovella | joshual: no problem. | 05:47 |
| mewshi_ | It's something in ubuntu, because nothing external to the linux distribution has changed. | 05:47 |
| ManualOverDozer | mewshi , have you tried staic IP with manual settings ? | 05:47 |
| mewshi_ | I can't do that, because I'm all over the place through out the day | 05:48 |
| tovella | gotta get some sleep... goodnight, all. | 05:48 |
| mysticdarkhack | <tovella>it is really, since there are three human theme and sort of forot which is the default after returning to ubuntu agian. | 05:48 |
| weretac0 | hrm. ok | 05:48 |
| weretac0 | if root mounts it | 05:48 |
| weretac0 | i'm okay | 05:48 |
| ajhtiredwolf | nickrud, grrr :p, thats too bad. | 05:48 |
| mewshi_ | can someone just help me with the damn troubleshooting? ugh, that's all I want help with | 05:48 |
| ajhtiredwolf | nickrud, do you use avant window manager? | 05:48 |
| nickrud | ajhtiredwolf no, just a transparent panel | 05:49 |
| tovella | mysticdarkhack: i don't think i changed mine. ...it's set for "Human". | 05:49 |
| alsryth | mewshi: is there a possibility your DHCP lease expires on your access point after 30 seconds? | 05:49 |
| nickrud | ajhtiredwolf I use very little eye candy, mostly scale and expo | 05:49 |
| mewshi_ | It says something in excess of 36000 | 05:49 |
| mysticdarkhack | <tovella>I see, thanks | 05:49 |
| alsryth | mewshi: what speed / protocol are you connecting with? | 05:50 |
| ajhtiredwolf | nickrud, i love the eye candy. I would use a mac if i could stand their interface hah | 05:50 |
| donkdonk | i cant believe no one knows this... | 05:50 |
| mewshi_ | 802.11G @ 54 | 05:50 |
| AzMoo | Hey, can I ask JeOS questions here? | 05:51 |
| alsryth | mewshi: is wireless security enabled on the connection? i.e.) WEP, WPA2 etc... | 05:51 |
| harpreet | AzMoo jeOS? | 05:52 |
| ajhtiredwolf | Does anyone use the avant window manager? and know allot about it | 05:52 |
| ManualOverDozer | mewshi 's card bcm4138 | 05:52 |
| AzMoo | harpreet: Ubuntu JeOS (Just enough Operating System). It's supposedly optimized for virtualization tasks. | 05:53 |
| mewshi_ | UGH! | 05:53 |
| ManualOverDozer | alsryth how long have you been using linux ? | 05:53 |
| harpreet | ofcourse its related to linux AzMoo , i believe | 05:53 |
| mewshi_ | Ok, this is getting VERY frustrating | 05:53 |
| ManualOverDozer | mewshi i can understand, it used to do the same thing to me | 05:54 |
| ManualOverDozer | used to | 05:54 |
| mewshi_ | I just want the damn wireless to work | 05:54 |
| mewshi_ | well, how did you fix it ManualOverDozer | 05:54 |
| ManualOverDozer | mewshi staic IP and manual settings | 05:54 |
| mewshi_ | I can't do that | 05:54 |
| ManualOverDozer | why not ? | 05:55 |
| mewshi_ | because I don't just use my network -_- | 05:55 |
| mewshi_ | Why can't you just help me get it to work as well as it did on sabayon? | 05:55 |
| ManualOverDozer | you mean, you are unfamiliar with the settings ? | 05:55 |
| AzMoo | harpreet: Yeah, I just thought there might be a channel dedicated to it. | 05:55 |
| ahorner | I just restarted now i cant move any windows because the menu bar at the top is gone | 05:55 |
| mewshi_ | I use networks where I DO NOT HAVE ACCESS TO THAT STUFF | 05:55 |

| ahorner | !doesn't work | mewshi_ | 05:56 |
| ubottu | mewshi_: Doesn't work is a strong statement. Does it sit on the couch all day? Does it want more money? Is it on IRC all the time? Please be specific! Examples of what doesn't work tend to help too. | 05:56 |

| debian_akroyd | imho | 05:56 |
| ManualOverDozer | mewshi, if you need help, you first must accept it | 05:57 |
| mewshi_ | well, your 'help' is useless for me | 05:57 |
| harpreet | mweshi, do u check the strength of the signal? | 05:57 |
| mewshi_ | i have said that | 05:57 |
| mewshi_ | FFS it isn't the signal strength | 05:57 |
| ManualOverDozer | mewshi you will have to have someone else help you | 05:57 |
| mewshi_ | it's something in ubuntu | 05:57 |
| alsryth | mewshi_: does your access point cycle WEP keys are say - 30 second intervals? | 05:57 |
| ahorner | I just restarted now i cant move any windows because the menu bar at the top is gone and awn won't start | 05:57 |

| nickrud | ahorner try alt-f2 compiz --replace | 05:59 |
| debian_akroyd | ahorner: if you are using emerald, kill it and go back to metacity | 05:59 |
| nomad727 | ahorner: in an xterm gnome-panel --restart | 05:59 |
| coatman | mewshi: have you installed the drivers for Ubuntu or just referring to Sabayan (http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=190177) | 05:59 |
| debian_akroyd | ahorner: or just use metacity --replace until you can fix the problem | 05:59 |
| dethray | Anyone know of a good prog that'll keep track of wireless networks you've been on and automatically connect to them when you are in range? | 06:00 |
| coatman | mewshi: for ndiswrapper if you haven't tried that | 06:00 |
| debian_akroyd | debian_akroyd: is afk | 06:00 |
| glitsj16 | mewshi: you probably already looked into using wicd as an alternative to network manager ? if not, there'a a (long) thread at http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=587010 you might be interested in | 06:00 |
| ahorner | @debian_akroyd thanks, that works for now | 06:00 |
| ahorner | hmm | 06:00 |
| ManualOverDozer | dethray , you can make scripts to do that, but unfortunately i have no access to mine atm | 06:00 |
| mewshi_ | ugh... why did i even bother installing this... you people seem to think everyone's a damned idiot... I know that the problem is somewhere within ubuntu, and that should have been enough for you to *stop* telling me to check the strength | 06:00 |
| amenado | mewshi_-> just an fyi.. the infamouse bcm43xx chips is very difficult animal to tame | 06:01 |
| ahorner | when i do compiz --replace, i get Checking for Xgl: not present. | 06:01 |

| mewshi_ | amenado: it worked just dandy on sabayon. I had to install ONE THING, and it worked just fine | 06:01 |
| ManualOverDozer | mewshi , i had been in the same shoes as you, so dont think noone has gone through it | 06:01 |
| mewshi_ | well, i can't do the manual ip thing | 06:01 |
| mewshi_ | I want it to work as intended | 06:01 |
| Dragoncorp | anyone know why hardy herron - server ed. gives errors on install in virtual pc 2007 | 06:02 |
| ahorner | i miss my wobbly windows :'-( | 06:02 |
| ManualOverDozer | mewshi , and i will admit, it was Ultra_Frustrating, just so you know, youre not the only one | 06:02 |
| coatman | mewshi: http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=424994 | 06:02 |
| amenado | mewshi_-> you have not been assisting lots of people in this channel, that chip based on my experience here, is one of the most difficult one to make work..if you have made work you are amongst the few exceptions | 06:02 |
| mewshi_ | it worked out of the box almost on another distribution | 06:02 |
| mewshi_ | so the problem lies not with the chip | 06:03 |
| Dragoncorp | anyone know how to get rid of the error when you hit install on ubuntu 8 on virtual pc 2007 | 06:03 |
| debian_akroyd | debian_akroyd: is back | 06:03 |
| coatman | mewshi: from my experience Ubuntu doesn't work well with wireless which hopefully they will fix in a newer release. A card I could never get working in Ubuntu worked fine without a change in OpenSUSe | 06:03 |
| ahorner | @debian_akroyd that at least got it so i can move my windows | 06:03 |
| nomad727 | mewshi_: use ndiswrapper see if problem's gone 3 simple steps. mines a bcm94311 only ndiswrapper works as apps,libraries upgrade in distro's mileage varys in past bcm43xx and b43 worked,but not anymore | 06:04 |
| ahorner | @debian_akroyd but when i do compiz --replace to get them back, it says checking for xlg: not present then something else then quits | 06:04 |
| ManualOverDozer | coatman , you sure have that right. its tricky to use wireless on Ubuntu, but it will work, given the effort | 06:04 |
| nickrud | and my BCM94311MCG wlan mini-PCI (rev 01) has worked flawlessly since feisty | 06:04 |
| murlidhar | hi all | 06:05 |
| debian_akroyd | ahorner: are you currently using xgl? | 06:05 |
| mewshi_ | ok, well, how do i install it using ndiswrapper? | 06:05 |
| ManualOverDozer | ndiswrapper with a windows dll, used for the card seemed to be the general fix for the situation. i am sure there are many other ways | 06:05 |
| coatman | mewshi: well I did get the card working eventually using ndis, but it kept losing the connection with a high signal so it allowed me to explore another distrobution | 06:05 |
| ahorner | @debian_akroyd i dunno, how do i check? i mean, compiz was workin fine till i restarted | 06:05 |
| mewshi_ | i am tired, i'm frustrated, I just lost ALL of my accounting work. Could you please just link me to a guide? | 06:05 |
| crdlb | ahorner: what does 'glxinfo | grep direct' say? | 06:05 |
| debian_akroyd | ahorner: well one way that i know of is running sudo apt-get install xserver-xgl | 06:06 |
| coatman | ManualOverDozer: I didn't mean Mewshi in that last message | 06:06 |
| ManualOverDozer | coatman , once i got the card working properly on Ubuntu, the speed was double that of the windows counterpart | 06:06 |
| ahorner | debian: hold plz | 06:06 |
| ManualOverDozer | same card | 06:06 |
| debian_akroyd | ok | 06:06 |

| crdlb | debian_akroyd: yes | 06:07 |
| coatman | ManualOverDozer: May have been, but getting it working in the first place is still more difficult than some other distros I've tried | 06:07 |
| nickrud | mewshi_ I wish I had an answer. Like I said, I don't know much about wireless, mainly because it just Works for Me™ | 06:07 |
| mewshi_ | so, could someone help me find a modern guide to getting it to work with ndiswrapper? | 06:07 |
| coatman | Mewshi: I sent you some links to the forums | 06:07 |
| coatman | mewshi: one had ndiswrapper instructions | 06:08 |

| debian_akroyd | oh thats the thing i dislike about source code sometimes. some programs are coded around older or newer kernels and wont work on the kernel you have installed... | 06:15 |
| Uplink | can someone help me install SARA please? | 06:16 |
| davidm | bazzie: I'm coming from openSUSE 10.3 and now using the latest Ubuntu desktop (can't remember the "name" of this current Ubuntu version!) | 06:16 |
| debian_akroyd | davidm: ubuntu hardy heron | 06:17 |
| bazzie | davidm, would that be Hardy Heron 8.04? | 06:17 |
| debian_akroyd | i think i spelled heron right | 06:17 |
| murlidhar | debian_akroyd: did i hear opensource is freedom? | 06:17 |

| cypha | two main things...1 my wireless doesn't work (i have a broadcom 43xx and i've done like 3 or 4 completely different fixes that have availed to nothing), and 2 when i resume from hibernate, my screen stays black, including no backlight (so how do i stop this from happening, besides ctrl+alt+f1, ctrl+alt+f7) | 06:18 |
| debian_akroyd | murlidhar: freedom to do what ever you wish with the building blocks of the program that you desire | 06:18 |
| cypha | if i can borrow someone for a few moments to tell me why this is even happening and how to fix it, i'd be very grateful | 06:18 |
| debian_akroyd | in otherwords, free dom to edit programs that you want to edit | 06:18 |
| debian_akroyd | or do what ever you want to them | 06:18 |
| debian_akroyd | make them more cooler | 06:18 |
| bazzie | davidm, might want to learn command line (apt-get) as it is very efficient; also synaptic package manager, update manager simply notifies you of updates though you can configure when and how it does that | 06:18 |
| debian_akroyd | more secure | 06:18 |

| murlidhar | debian_akroyd: that's why i am tryin to compile it since it doesn't have any debian package | 06:19 |
| davidm | bazzie - is there any benefit in using it right after a clean install? | 06:19 |
| debian_akroyd | murlidhar: have you read the documentation included with the source code? or did i not provide any | 06:19 |
| debian_akroyd | debian_akroyd: is afk | 06:20 |
| McShane | cypha, have you tried auto-ndiswrapper? | 06:20 |
| McShane | I don't know if it will fix your problem, but it may be worth a shot | 06:20 |
| bazzie | davidm, generally making sure your sources repositories are set correctly (system admin software sources) then sudo apt-get update sudo apt-get upgrade (from gnome-terminal) will do you right | 06:20 |

| davidm | bazzie - May I ask one more, is there a site or list that has the "good" repositories (or are they 'pre-installed')? | 06:22 |
| debian_akroyd | murlidhar: ive had that happen too where the ./configure checks out, but the code is built around the old kernel | 06:22 |
| debian_akroyd | and some old kernel features that the program requires are not implemented in the current kernel | 06:22 |
| ahorner | dunnen: what language | 06:22 |
| McShane | Uplink, have a look at this page: http://monkeyblog.org/ubuntu/installing/ | 06:22 |
| bazzie | davidm, the standard ubuntu repos; you can /msg ubottu repos for more info and a link | 06:22 |
| torenhonig | Uplink: its kinda like preping it to compile | 06:22 |

| davidm | bazzie - do I enter that in my IRC client or on a website (can you say GREEN!)? | 06:23 |
| debian_akroyd | rivitingone: fglrx driver | 06:23 |
| murlidhar | Uplink: it is a script that checks the dependencies that are required for installing an application from source . | 06:23 |
| Uplink | McShane, well... SARA doesnt install through package man | 06:23 |
| bazzie | davidm, if you ever want to manually adjust the repos you can do so via gksudo gedit /etc/apt/sources.list | 06:24 |
| ezlo | but i have a genuine vista in the other | 06:24 |
| murlidhar | Uplink: it is usually package with the source file | 06:24 |

| murlidhar_ | Uplink: i want to compile bmpanel from the source but i am not able to do so | 07:04 |
| mattchew | rivitingone: ya you can. I think you could just change your xorg.conf for that too because the original is probably still installed | 07:04 |

| bullgard4 | wols_: Can I conclude from your answer: "gnome runs on more than linux" that Linux is a 'platform', HP/UX is a platform, SCO Xenix is a platform, Sun OS is a platform and NetBSD is a fifth 'platform'? | 07:48 |
| Raz0R | in terminal?? | 07:48 |
| wols_ | bullgard4: sure | 07:49 |
| wols_ | Raz0R: yes | 07:49 |
| Raz0R | Wolfman2000 i get this: Thu Jul 24 07:49:01 BST 2008 | 07:49 |
| genik | how do you guys know all the commands =/ | 07:49 |
| Raz0R | seem correct :) | 07:49 |
| Raz0R | sorry i meant wols | 07:49 |
| Raz0R | wols_ i get this Thu Jul 24 07:49:01 BST 2008 | 07:49 |
| wols_ | Raz0R: only cause you run some NTP daemon | 07:49 |
| Raz0R | no | 07:49 |
| Raz0R | i only removed two files from that folder | 07:50 |
| genik | Once, i pressed ctrl+alt+backspace and it made me always boot from terminal, how come? | 07:50 |
| rexus | !packages | 07:50 |
| ubottu | You can browse and search for Ubuntu packages using !Synaptic, !Adept, "apt-cache search <keywords or regex>", the "apt:/" URL in KDE, or online at http://packages.ubuntu.com - Ubuntu has about 20000 packages available, so please *search* for an official package before installing things in awkward ways! | 07:50 |
| rexus | !keep packages | 07:50 |
| ubottu | Sorry, I don't know anything about keep packages | 07:50 |
| genik | halp!? | 07:50 |
| genik | Once, i pressed ctrl+alt+backspace and it made me always boot from terminal, how come? | 07:50 |
| genik | ^ | 07:50 |
| cypha | what's FILE ROLLER? | 07:50 |
| Flannel | genik: terminal? | 07:51 |
| rexus | guys, where does the packages installed using apt-get stored? | 07:51 |
| genik | well like | 07:51 |
| wols_ | genik: is a display manager installed and configured to run? | 07:51 |
| genik | it wouldnt go to the GUI | 07:51 |
| cypha | i downloaded something from the internet and i can't tell where it's saved | 07:51 |
| wols_ | cypha: a filemanager | 07:51 |
| Flannel | rexus: What do you mean? | 07:51 |
| eternauta | Could somebody help me configure my hosts file to match my hostname with my loopback? I just need a someone to push me to the right answer | 07:51 |
| genik | it would boot to a black screen and ask for login | 07:51 |
| genik | and pw | 07:51 |
| wols_ | rexus: /var/cache/apt/archives/ | 07:51 |
| Kattman | Genik: I have two cheat cards, if you need them | 07:51 |
| wols_ | eternauta: man 5 hosts | 07:51 |
| cypha | wols_: the .tar.gz that i downloaded is only showing in there | 07:51 |
| rexus | all the .deb files | 07:51 |
| genik | cheat cards? | 07:51 |
| cypha | i wanted it on the desktop, but ican't move it | 07:51 |
| rexus | used to install the packages | 07:51 |
| cypha | from fileroller i guess | 07:51 |
| Kattman | they show commamds | 07:52 |
| warriorforgod | I am having a problem installing ubuntu. It hangs at 6% on the select and install software screen. I am using the alternate install cd. | 07:52 |
| bazzie | warriorforgod, did you md5 the iso | 07:52 |
| genik | When i boot ubuntu it goes to a black screen for login and PW and i have to type startx to make the GUI appear | 07:52 |
| genik | why | 07:52 |
| warriorforgod | I am running a disk check on the cd right now. | 07:52 |
| eternauta | I have already read it wols, I also tried several configurations... but it doesnt work. I am configuring a cluster mpi-lam and it needs that 127.0.0.1 resolves to something different than localhost. But when I cahnged it I was left without sudo, so I dont know | 07:53 |
| bazzie | warriorforgod, md5 the iso and burn at a slow speed usually helps | 07:53 |
| bazzie | !md5 | warriorforgod | 07:53 |
| ubottu | warriorforgod: To verify your Ubuntu ISO image (or other files for which an MD5 checksum is provided), see http://help.ubuntu.com/community/VerifyIsoHowto or http://www.linuxquestions.org/linux/answers/LQ_ISO/Checking_the_md5sum_in_Windows | 07:53 |
| genik | guys whats the root account | 07:54 |
| ionstorm66 | There is no root. XD | 07:54 |
| bazzie | genik, use sudo (user password) | 07:54 |
| ionstorm66 | only sudo in ubuntu | 07:54 |
| genik | so root is useless? | 07:54 |
| genik | i had root in ubuntu | 07:54 |
| bazzie | genik, not enabled in ubuntu | 07:54 |
| genik | oh | 07:54 |
| bullgard4 | wols_: Thank you for explaining. | 07:54 |
| === EGU is now known as ExGearUser | ||
| genik | i enabled it lol | 07:55 |
| genik | i thought we had to | 07:55 |
| bazzie | genik sudo is safer | 07:55 |
| ionstorm66 | you can make a user called root and give it full power but its weak compared to real root | 07:55 |
| genik | okay | 07:55 |
| genik | so ubuntu is the BEST right? | 07:55 |
| === todd is now known as Guest9609 | ||
| genik | out of all the distributions | 07:55 |
| bazzie | genik best for what | 07:55 |
| ionstorm66 | there is no over all bests | 07:56 |
| eternauta | man sudo_root may help you | 07:56 |
| genik | well why is ubunto so popular then | 07:56 |
| ionstorm66 | ubuntu is the best for new linux users | 07:56 |
| genik | i see | 07:56 |
| bazzie | genik, support community | 07:56 |
| zcat[1] | any way to make java games (eg runescape) use the socks5 proxy configured in firefox? everything else goes through the proxy, it even loads the java application via the proxy but when it runs it still seems to be going direct? | 07:56 |
| Miksag1 | it is good; but sometimes stuff will just slap you in the face if it doesn't work | 07:56 |
| Miksag1 | (me is actually a new linux user) | 07:56 |
| ionstorm66 | but lacks things need for the more invasive users | 07:56 |
| genik | is it possible to play games like counter-strike ? | 07:57 |
| ManualOverDozer | Eternal Lands will run in Ubuntu, much like Runescape | 07:57 |
| Miksag1 | what would this mean from update manager? http://pastie.org/private/yzogzvxffr41ae17gnrwpg | 07:57 |
| zcat[1] | my kids are pissed off, they can't both be on the same world 'cos of being on the same IP so I want one game to go via a socks5 proxy on my webserver | 07:57 |
| ionstorm66 | genik: maybe with wine | 07:57 |
| genik | wine ? | 07:57 |
| genik | whats that | 07:57 |
| bazzie | !appdb | genik check here | 07:57 |
| ubottu | genik check here: The Wine Application DB is a database of applications and help for !Windows programs that run under !WINE: http://appdb.winehq.org | 07:57 |
| ManualOverDozer | zcat even with NAT router ? | 07:57 |
| mrynit | I have my wifi router to hide my SSID. How can i set up my ubuntu wifi such that it will connect to the hidden SSID automaticly? | 07:57 |
| Miksag1 | Wine Is Not an Emulator | 07:57 |
| ionstorm66 | its a progam that lets windwos programs run in linux | 07:57 |
| ManualOverDozer | NAT enabled router ? | 07:57 |
| genik | intresting | 07:58 |
| zcat[1] | nat means both connections appear to runescape to be from 'one IP' | 07:58 |
| guojing | 有没有中文qcad? | 07:58 |
| johnny`_ | hehe it's easier to have a xp client and connect rdp to rather than have a virtual machine :) | 07:58 |
| bazzie | mrynit, associate the ap | 07:58 |
| ionstorm66 | and yes W.ine I.s N.ot an E.mulator | 07:58 |
| zcat[1] | runescape has the problem, not NAT.. it won't allow two logins from a single address | 07:58 |
| ManualOverDozer | mrynit the setting to hide your SSID is withing your router | 07:58 |
| zcat[1] | SO I need to make one seem to be from my webserver | 07:58 |
| mrynit | ManualOverDozer, yes i konw. I have my router's SSID hidden. so the wifi manager does not see it. | 07:59 |
| ionstorm66 | but as a rule of thumb you need atleast double the requirements to run the game 3/4th as good | 07:59 |
| ManualOverDozer | maybe you can email Runescape and have them put you on the "whitelist" , that is, if you are paying for both accounts | 07:59 |
| zcat[1] | or any other proxy would be fine... I just happen to have set up socks5 and squid on my webserver | 07:59 |
| zcat[1] | free accounts | 07:59 |
| mrynit | bazzie, how would i do that? | 07:59 |
| ManualOverDozer | then in that case, not much you can do about that | 08:00 |
| ionstorm66 | unless it supports native opengl | 08:00 |
| ionstorm66 | and the less windows only stuff needed the better | 08:00 |
| bazzie | mrynit, cli is the easiest; ubuntuforums has a comprehensive manual wireless guide | 08:00 |
| livingdaylight | how do i find out my hard disc space used? i did du -h and got a whole stream of my homedirectory or something | 08:00 |
| ManualOverDozer | mrynit , even if you choose to attempt to hide your SSID , it still can be seen, hardly worth even hiding it, in the first place | 08:01 |
| mrynit | !tell mrynit about wifi | 08:01 |
| ubottu | mrynit, please see my private message | 08:01 |
| DrRealHouse | Anyone having boot problem with latest kernel 2.6.24.20 from the last update? My Averatec does not boot with that version but works with the previous 2.6.24.19 (Still installed) (never had this problem before) | 08:01 |
| Flannel | livingdaylight: du -h -c | grep total | 08:01 |
| cypha | so check it, i have the 64 bit and the 32 bit version of my broadcom driver...i'm on ubuntu 64....but when i choose the 64 bit version of my broadcom driver, it says hardware not found...but when i use the 32 bit, it says it's found | 08:01 |
| bazzie | DrRealHouse, you are using proposed repos | 08:01 |
| cypha | but of course, network manager still doesn't have an option for wireless | 08:01 |
| debasys | is there a fancy rss feed reader for ubuntu tht shows latest topics on the desktop, which can be then clicked and opens in firefox? | 08:01 |
| DrRealHouse | bazzie: Yes, everything by default... | 08:02 |
| livingdaylight | Flannel: i just want to find out about my hard drive i recall a command different to the one you gave | 08:02 |
| snoh | DrRealHouse, i'm still on 2.6.24.19 so dont know | 08:02 |
| exot | hello all, I have installed ubuntu on my Siemens laptop, I have ATI chip, the screen appears in a very small square, not using the full width and hight of the screen | 08:02 |
| wols_ | livingdaylight: df | 08:02 |
| genik | whats the best way to go on IRC with ubuntu? | 08:02 |
| wols_ | genik: irssi or xchat | 08:02 |
| DrRealHouse | genik: Pidgin, really easy. | 08:02 |
| supert0nes | konversation :) | 08:02 |
| debasys | genik: i think xchat-gnome | 08:03 |
| ManualOverDozer | xchat is nice | 08:03 |
| wols_ | exot: what ati chip exactly? | 08:03 |
| Flannel | livingdaylight: that'll do it just fine. well, du -c / | grep total anyway | 08:03 |
| snoh | genik: xchat | 08:03 |
| ManualOverDozer | pidgin easy , but xchat seems to work much better | 08:03 |
| mrynit | ManualOverDozer, yes i know. just makes it some what more secure | 08:03 |
| genik | im waitin for my ubuntu to download its at 28% =/ | 08:03 |
| ManualOverDozer | mrynit , unfortunate, but true, you got that right | 08:03 |
| snoh | genik: if ur not a pureist, u can get mirc running with wine also | 08:03 |
| exot | ATI Technologies Inc Redeon Mobility x1400 | 08:04 |
| mamooth | plop ! | 08:04 |
| ManualOverDozer | mrynit you hide it on the router web interface | 08:04 |
| genik | how long did it take you guys to download ubuntu | 08:04 |
| supert0nes | hey now no need for mIRC we have very capable irc programs between x-chat and konversation | 08:04 |
| mrynit | ManualOverDozer, yes.... i did it already ... | 08:04 |
| wols_ | exot: and the driver you use is? | 08:04 |
| mamooth | is somebody know where gnome-session-property puts it's conf files ? | 08:04 |
| DrRealHouse | exot: I have a x1200, and installed the latest driver from ATI/AMD version 8.7... Now everything works as expected | 08:04 |
| ManualOverDozer | mrynit something like 192.168.1.1 or similiar, you have to see what your Gateway address is | 08:04 |
| wols_ | genik: until it was done | 08:05 |
| genik | ... | 08:05 |
| ManualOverDozer | usually its the Gateway, but not always | 08:05 |
| genik | timewise sir! | 08:05 |
| ionstorm66 | genik few minutes | 08:05 |
| snoh | genik: about 10mins :D but then i have 20Mbit broadband | 08:05 |
| eternauta | how can I do to change 127.0.0.1 resolve to localhost? I added 127.0.0.1 myhostname to /etc/hosts but doesnt work, any help? | 08:05 |
| genik | wow my internet sucks then :( | 08:05 |
| mrynit | ManualOverDozer, yes i know .... | 08:05 |
| exot | wols_, I don't know :) | 08:05 |
| ManualOverDozer | mrynit ok | 08:05 |
| genik | its taking me like 2 hours | 08:05 |
| exot | DrRealHouse, can you please help | 08:05 |
| ionstorm66 | i used my schools net as i pick up the wifi and school is out | 08:05 |
| ManualOverDozer | 95% on Ubuntu 8.04 | 08:05 |
| blUbuntu | quick inquiry is there a program that I can bookmark a spot in a music file and have it so it can pick up where it leaves off? mp3 books mainly | 08:06 |
| DrRealHouse | exot: What was the problem I missed it. | 08:06 |
| ionstorm66 | thus i get my wifi's speed cap | 08:06 |
| livingdaylight | Flannel: df -h is what i was looking for | 08:06 |
| genik | DSL is supposed to be faster than 125kb/sec, no? | 08:06 |
| ionstorm66 | genik: depends on your isp | 08:06 |
| wols_ | exot: juat fyi: installing the drivers from ati.com will most likely break your ubuntu in the long term. yoU've been warned | 08:06 |
| genik | i feel like everyone's internet is so much faster | 08:06 |
| snoh | genik: dsl can go up to 8Mbits and dsl2 will be faster i think | 08:06 |
| ionstorm66 | take the MBit/s and divide by 16 and times by 1024 to get KB/s | 08:06 |
| exot | DrRealHouse, the screen appears in a small square, it's not using the full width and hight | 08:06 |
| ssh_rdp | Hey, I am using ubuntu hardy with latest updates, but when I use my wireless card after 1 or 2 minutes the system crashes, it's a iwl4965 | 08:06 |
| ManualOverDozer | genik it depends on what speed you buy, around here some dsl is 80kbps | 08:07 |
| wols_ | ionstorm66: great math.... NOT | 08:07 |
| exot | hmm | 08:07 |
| ssh_rdp | There is nothing in kernel logs | 08:07 |
| TeslaTony | Consumer DSL may max at 8, but there are business lines that are symmetrical 24Mbps | 08:07 |
| ManualOverDozer | you can also buy 15mbps cable, so there is quite a variety | 08:07 |
| ionstorm66 | wols_: whats wrong with it? | 08:07 |
| blUbuntu | quick inquiry is there a program that I can bookmark a spot in a music file and have it so it can pick up where it leaves off? mp3 books mainly | 08:07 |
| ssh_rdp | (nothing related) | 08:07 |
| snoh | u get 2400kb/sec on 20Mbit | 08:07 |
| ManualOverDozer | wowo 24mbps | 08:07 |
| DrRealHouse | exot: Do you see all your desktop or only a part of it (IE: 800x600 desktop in a 1600x1050 LCD screen) | 08:07 |
| ManualOverDozer | gbps i see | 08:07 |
| genik | why is it called 20Mbit if you get 2.4Mbit Lol | 08:08 |
| exot | DrRealHouse, yes all of it | 08:08 |
| ManualOverDozer | gb vs mb | 08:08 |
| wols_ | ionstorm66: the result is half the actual speed | 08:08 |
| meoblast001 | how do you resize ogg video? | 08:08 |
| meoblast001 | Convert it just doesnt work | 08:08 |
| ManualOverDozer | bytes compared to bits | 08:08 |
| DrRealHouse | exot : Is the screen centered or at the left/right of your screen? | 08:08 |
| snoh | well coz 2.4 megabytes is not the same as20 megabits | 08:09 |
| exot | DrRealHouse, yes centered | 08:09 |
| DrRealHouse | exot: ok, is it a LCD screen? on a laptop? | 08:09 |
| ionstorm66 | oh der 8 not 16 ~_~ | 08:09 |
| exot | yes | 08:09 |
| ManualOverDozer | its a sales pitch, they will tell you the number that looks to be the higher one, so it looks impressive | 08:09 |
| exot | siemens laptop | 08:09 |
| genik | so its divided by 8? | 08:10 |
| DrRealHouse | exot: I know what is happening, your configuration is at a lower resolution thant the capacity of your screen... | 08:10 |
| snoh | bit x 8 = 1 byte | 08:10 |
| exot | I see .. good :D | 08:10 |
| exot | how can we configure ? | 08:10 |
| DrRealHouse | exot: and your laptop is not streching the display to fill the screen at lower resolution | 08:10 |
| genik | i see ! | 08:10 |
| DrRealHouse | exot: Normally, this is a setting in the bios, or set the resolution at the native resolutio of your screen | 08:11 |
| snoh | although there are parity bits too nots its not always spot on | 08:11 |
| exot | DrRealHouse, no .. it's completely normal | 08:11 |
| exot | in the bios ? hmm let me check | 08:11 |
| livingdaylight | so, df -h gives me the Total Used and Available stats... Can someone tell me how i find out specifically how much room available left in my /home/user directory is? | 08:11 |
| ManualOverDozer | Ubuntu 8.04 ready for burn | 08:12 |

| my_haz | i am trying to connect via a wireless card. I can connect to the router, i get an ip address 173.*.*.*, but then i can not connect to anything on the internet. Including if i put in ip addresses. I get "Network Not Reachable" any hints suggestions? | 08:12 |
| DrRealHouse | exot: I have that on one of my laptop (Averatec 3200). Native res is at 1024x768 | 08:12 |
| wols_ | Zta: dpkg -l |grep ^ii | 08:12 |
| livingdaylight | its looks like i'm full anyway... coz i was downloading a torrent and my computer just shut off | 08:12 |
| greg | /apps/panel && killall gnome-panel coesnt work? | 08:12 |
| debasys | there should be one desktop Feed Reader, which will only show latest unread topics on a transparent-background on the desktop, | 08:12 |
| debasys | is there any? | 08:12 |
| greg | /apps/panel && killall gnome-panel doesnt work? | 08:12 |
| Zta | wols_, thanks | 08:13 |
| DrRealHouse | exot: What is your native resolution (Screen) and you actual resolution (you can see that in System - Preferences - Screen Resolution) | 08:13 |
| ManualOverDozer | myhaz have you tried straight up IP to bypass a DNS issue ? | 08:13 |
| Zta | wols_, though some seem rather dependencyish. But it's a start =) | 08:13 |
| === shoot^ is now known as tom | ||
| mrynit | server down | 08:19 |
| ManualOverDozer | myHaz you cant even ping your router ? | 08:19 |
| Raz0R | whoah | 08:19 |
| ManualOverDozer | that was crazy | 08:19 |
| mrynit | luuuuulz | 08:19 |
| debasys | what is this so many people logging in/out??? | 08:19 |
| ManualOverDozer | cleaning out the bots maybe | 08:19 |
| mrynit | debasys, netsplit. | 08:19 |
| wols_ | !netsplit | debasys | 08:19 |
| ubottu | debasys: 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 | 08:19 |
| my_haz | ManualOverDozer: well i can ping the router, i get an ip address, a strange one 173.*.*.* | 08:19 |
| DrRealHouse | exot: Give me a sec, I'll look in google | 08:19 |
| gonzojive | wols_: I think I had it working in gutsy by with my new hardy install it won't work. . I even had BigDesktop working | 08:19 |

| meoblast001 | oh yes | 08:19 |
| exot | DrRealHouse, thank you very much :) | 08:19 |
| meoblast001 | i trust OGG theora now | 08:19 |
| Hyperviolet | oks, so i just setup 7.04 from an old cd i have.. i managed to get the wireless driver setup and showing in the network options, but the thing will NOT connect to anything | 08:19 |
| meoblast001 | it crashed xorg | 08:19 |
| wols_ | "doesn't work | gonzojive | 08:19 |
| meoblast001 | i cant win | 08:19 |
| wols_ | !doesn't work | gonzojive | 08:19 |
| ubottu | gonzojive: Doesn't work is a strong statement. Does it sit on the couch all day? Does it want more money? Is it on IRC all the time? Please be specific! Examples of what doesn't work tend to help too. | 08:19 |
| ManualOverDozer | my_haz yes that is unusual, but not impossible | 08:19 |
| meoblast001 | i have to convert to ogg theora but i cant because all the converters suck | 08:19 |
| meoblast001 | ffmpeg makes bad fiels | 08:19 |
| ManualOverDozer | my_haz you familiar with ipconfig in command prompt ? | 08:20 |
| === gnome_ is now known as gnub | ||

| ManualOverDozer | my_haz the same one you connected with now, doesnt do DNS queries or PINGs ? | 08:22 |

| my_haz | ManualOverDozer: nah this is a different computer location all together, a cyber cafe | 08:22 |
| ManualOverDozer | my_haz, that explains it | 08:23 |

| kibibyte | :d | 08:24 |
| Hyperviolet | do i just type iwconfig? | 08:24 |
| iosif | 8-) | 08:24 |
| exot | OH DrRealHouse THANK YOU, I changed the compensation to enabled, and it works, but a very bad resolution | 08:24 |
| Hyperviolet | i did get some feedback, nothing that says no router | 08:24 |
| kibibyte | :d | 08:25 |
| my_haz | Hyperviolet: you should probably use the graphical tool | 08:25 |
| Hyperviolet | ESSID: off/any | 08:25 |
| my_haz | Hyperviolet: did you set your connection to "Roaming" | 08:25 |
| ManualOverDozer | ok, i have Ubuntu 8.02 now, what can i expect different/similiar over ver 7 ? | 08:25 |
| Hyperviolet | no, it's manually set | 08:25 |
| exot | DrRealHouse, thank you really | 08:25 |
| ManualOverDozer | is anyone using Ubuntu 8.02 ? | 08:26 |
| SwedeMike | ManualOverDozer: you mean 8.04? | 08:26 |
| iosif | here is no difference | 08:26 |
| wbmj | Hyperviolet: you'll have more success with roaming | 08:26 |
| wols_ | ManualOverDozer: that doesn't exist | 08:26 |
| DrRealHouse | exot: Still there? | 08:26 |
| Hyperviolet | really? i've read the exact opposite on the forums | 08:26 |
| Gman99999 | Hey I have hardy heron installed on my laptop and its been on it since it came out, recently Ive been having this super odd freezing problem, the screen is frozen, keyboard doesn't respond its always when Im using gimp, does anyone know what the problem might be | 08:26 |
| ManualOverDozer | yes 8.04 | 08:26 |
| kibibyte | :D | 08:26 |
| exot | DrRealHouse, yes | 08:26 |
| exot | DrRealHouse, but how can I change the resolution to 1024x | 08:27 |
| ManualOverDozer | i have 7.x havent yet to try 8.x | 08:27 |
| DrRealHouse | exot: ok, you have a bad resolution because it is not native to your screen | 08:27 |
| ManualOverDozer | any pros/cons i should know of ? | 08:27 |
| LSD|Ninja | DrRealHouse: Alt+F2, gksudo displayconfig-gtk | 08:27 |
| kibibyte | lol \etc\bin | 08:27 |
| my_haz | i have 8.x but i have not tried 7 so don't know, last i had was dapper | 08:27 |
| DrRealHouse | exot: look in "System - Preference - Screen Resolution" | 08:27 |
| exot | hmm | 08:27 |
| ManualOverDozer | my_haz you like 8.x ? | 08:28 |
| exot | DrRealHouse, yes it;s 800x600 | 08:28 |
| Hyperviolet | when i enable roaming, the wireless goes grey and looks inactive | 08:28 |
| Hyperviolet | when i enable manual, it appears to work | 08:28 |
| DrRealHouse | LSD|Ninja: also... | 08:28 |
| Hyperviolet | but i still cannot ping anything | 08:28 |
| X3 | MORNING ALLLL | 08:28 |
| DrRealHouse | exot: Can you chage it? | 08:28 |
| LSD|Ninja | The one in Preferences sucks, the fact it's in Prefs and not Admin should give that away | 08:28 |
| rexus | guys, when installing in linux do you think we need to make many partitions e.g for /boot /usr /var etc ?? | 08:28 |
| exot | it's the max | 08:28 |
| gonzojive_ | wols_: First I tried to get Hardy working with BigDesktop like Gutsy had been working fine with. But I had no luck--probably because fglrx wasn't working at all. Now I am just trying to get a functioning FGLRX with a single monitor. When I boot my computer with a Driver "fglrx" line in the device section of my xorg.conf, the screen flickers 3 times and X boots into a failsafe graphics configuration | 08:28 |
| my_haz | ManualOverDozer: its alright, doesn't support sounds as good as dapper or fiesty | 08:29 |
| DrRealHouse | exot: Ok, it see what is the problem, you are probably in vesa mode | 08:29 |
| DrRealHouse | exot: I have the same problem with my X1200 when in Vesa (compatible mode) | 08:29 |
| ManualOverDozer | my_haz i dont use sound much anyhow, this is an onboard soundcard, , doesnt sound all that well to begin with | 08:29 |
| my_haz | ManualOverDozer: then its normally pretty good | 08:29 |
| exot | DrRealHouse, okay .. :) | 08:30 |
| gonzojive_ | wols_: I have tried both the supplied FGLRX in the ubuntu repos and the latest driver from ATI. Now i'm trying a slightly older version | 08:30 |
| my_haz | ManualOverDozer: i don't like how it default handels pgp keys etc | 08:30 |
| DrRealHouse | exot: Have you enable the FGLRX driver? | 08:30 |
| my_haz | ManualOverDozer: where if you are logged in, it remembers them | 08:30 |
| ManualOverDozer | my_haz i just was going to wipe 7.x complete and plop 8.x on that drive | 08:30 |
| exot | I have apt-get it, but don't know how to enable it | 08:30 |
| gnub | 8.04 64bit. sound in vlc is choppy. tried changing sound pref in ubuntu and vlc output modules. still choppy. | 08:30 |
| Hyperviolet | where is the graphical iwconfig tool | 08:30 |
| kibibyte | whassa | 08:30 |
| ManualOverDozer | my_haz i dont even mess with keys, just do MAC filter on router, no real need for keys if i do that | 08:31 |
| my_haz | Hyperviolet: its in the top corner of gnome, its either bar icons, or tow little screens | 08:31 |
| DrRealHouse | exot: Go to "System - Administration - Driver something" (My system is in french.. sorry) | 08:31 |

| ManualOverDozer | my_haz i keep it simple, if someone can clone or duke my MAC addy, then so be it, they can have the service till i press the reset button :P | 08:33 |
| DrRealHouse | exot: Make sure also the install the flgrx-control from synaptic, you will have then a tool to configure properly your video card | 08:33 |
| brane | how to check Ubuntu for viruses | 08:33 |
| DrRealHouse | exot: it will be called "Ati Catalyst Control Center" | 08:33 |
| X3 | USe clamtk | 08:33 |
| my_haz | ManualOverDozer: its trivial to clone a mac address | 08:34 |
| Hyperviolet | my_haz, i do not think it seems my router | 08:34 |
| X3 | Clamav or clamTK is GUI for clam av | 08:34 |
| ManualOverDozer | i sure do hope i got the LiveCD version, now that i think of it | 08:34 |
| DrRealHouse | X3: I have exactly the same problem on an Averatec | 08:34 |
| X3 | synaptic should have it | 08:34 |
| my_haz | Hyperviolet: i mean i can send out any mac address i want with linux | 08:34 |

| X3 | but this gives no errors it just wont boot past starting up | 08:36 |
| Uplink | Hyperviolet, hows the firmware | 08:36 |
| ManualOverDozer | my_haz not really worried. these machines i use are dispensible. they are only used as test-subjects, so why not get free rats while i am at it :) | 08:36 |
| Hyperviolet | ubuntu sees the adapter, i can configure it, and i can see the wireless network (secured) that i want to connect to | 08:36 |
| === donaq is now known as RatInRace | ||
| DrRealHouse | X3: Could it be related to AMD processor. I am currently with a AMD64 and I do not have this problem. | 08:36 |
| X3 | any joy on this for you drealhouse | 08:36 |
| Hyperviolet | firmware for the adapter? is up to date as far as i can tell | 08:37 |
| X3 | Im on amd 32bit | 08:37 |

| Uplink | Hyperviolet, im still waiting | 08:42 |
| Hyperviolet | i don't know how to interperate this... it looks like it can see the router with ifconfig | 08:42 |
| DrRealHouse | X3: Nah, this is really strange, never had this kind of problem for several years. And it seemed related to something precise... If AMD cpu are not working with this version, it will be fixed really soon and we will see a .21 coming out in the next few days. | 08:42 |
| Uplink | Hyperviolet, type this on console and pastebin it "iwconfig -a" | 08:42 |
| X3 | mm sure thx | 08:43 |
| Hyperviolet | -a No such device | 08:43 |

| DrRealHouse | That is normal, a repos is never up to date with the latest version from the project site. | 08:50 |

| LSD|Ninja | As long as you can get a wired network connection getting Broadcom working is relatively easy now so I've found out | 08:56 |
| X3 | I have a spare 4965agn for sale and it loads ok under linux | 08:56 |
| LSD|Ninja | Though even when you get them working they're lumps of excrement. You're better off replacing them if you can. | 08:56 |
| X3 | lemme have a look at your card | 08:56 |
| cypha | uplink, i don't have a program pastebinit installed | 08:56 |

| Uplink | cypha, its useful :) | 08:57 |
| gonzojive_ | My xorg.conf is failing to load and so X is using a failsafe version. unfortunately this overwrites the /var/log/Xorg.0.log file so I can't see what's going wrong with my original config | 08:57 |

| sbillaudelle | @gonzojive_: I would say that the Intel stuff is supported very well... | 09:09 |
| Uplink | Hyperviolet, looks like drivers or firmware is making trouble | 09:09 |
| Hyperviolet | shit | 09:10 |
| sbillaudelle | All the new features like kernel mode setting are done for the Intel cads first... | 09:10 |
| Hyperviolet | hm | 09:10 |
| jussi01 | !ohmy | Hyperviolet | 09:10 |
| ubottu | Hyperviolet: Please watch your language and topic to help keep this channel family friendly. | 09:10 |
| Uplink | Hyperviolet, System < Administration < Hardware Drivers | 09:10 |

| Hyperviolet | jussi01, sorry for that......... | 09:10 |
| cypha | hey uplink, i'm back | 09:11 |
| Uplink | cypha, fast | 09:11 |
| cypha | still not Wireless Connection option in the network manager | 09:11 |
| Hyperviolet | wtf, i have no hardware drivers menu item | 09:11 |
| cypha | yeah, i actually thought the 32bit version of ubuntu was faster | 09:11 |
| === eth is now known as eth01 | ||
| cypha | 64 seems to be a little slower | 09:11 |
| Hyperviolet | restricted drivers manager? | 09:12 |
| cypha | by the way, i think i have the 32 bit driver and the 64 bit driver installed | 09:12 |
| genik | theyre pretty equal i seen some benchmarks | 09:12 |
| openg | I am using xchat and i cant see the user list here. I want to see the list of user here. how can i do this. | 09:12 |
| Uplink | Hyperviolet, yes | 09:12 |
| cypha | not to mention b3-fwcutter and ndiswrapper | 09:12 |
| sbillaudelle | Hyperviolet: Maybe something with "restricted drivers"? I think in older versions It was called like that... | 09:12 |
| Uplink | cypha, iwconfig | 09:12 |
| NoorulIslaam | Hyperviolet, try turning off UAC | 09:12 |
| Hyperviolet | ok only one item there which is for my video card | 09:12 |
| cypha | no wireless extensions for lo and wlan0 | 09:12 |

| cypha | k | 09:14 |
| Hyperviolet | i've read people doing it successfully on the forums | 09:14 |
| Hyperviolet | and followed those directions | 09:14 |
| sbillaudelle | krajan: Google for "TrueCrypt" | 09:14 |
| sbillaudelle | That's not bad! | 09:14 |
| Uplink | Hyperviolet, and? | 09:15 |
| krajan | sbllaudelle thx | 09:15 |
| sbillaudelle | np | 09:15 |
| Hyperviolet | and this is the result, right now | 09:15 |
| LSD|Ninja | Getting the Broadcom in my former housemates Lenovo 3000 was relatively easy but we had a wired network to fall back on | 09:15 |
| eth01 | you can mix and match 32 with 64 bit | 09:15 |
| eth01 | in regards to the actual drivers | 09:15 |
| eth01 | that's not a problem | 09:15 |
| cypha | good to know | 09:15 |
| eth01 | vice-a-versa | 09:15 |
| cypha | cuz i think i did that | 09:15 |
| varunn | hey | 09:15 |
| Uplink | cypha, lspci | pastebinit | 09:15 |

| openg | but moved to the left | 09:16 |
| cypha | http://pastebin.com/f66e6fd37 | 09:16 |
| cypha | uplink | 09:16 |
| openg | i mean right | 09:16 |
| Uplink | Hyperviolet, we gonna have to use ndiswrapper | 09:16 |
| openg | another question i have | 09:16 |
| openg | in firefox when i click on a link it opens a another firefox browser. I want to use it on the same browser and just switch it by click on the top to choose one. | 09:16 |
| DistroJockey | openg, see the View menu. Mine says : User List Ctrl+F7 | 09:17 |
| eth01 | cypha: you got any temp sensors? | 09:17 |
| Uplink | cypha, omg... BCM4328 | 09:17 |
| cypha | etho01, don't know what that is | 09:17 |
| Hyperviolet | Uplink, that's what i did | 09:17 |
| cypha | oh, temperature | 09:17 |
| cypha | yes | 09:17 |
| Hyperviolet | ndiswrapper | 09:17 |
| cypha | probably | 09:17 |
| eth01 | Uplink: calm down | 09:17 |
| cypha | uplink, what's wrong with that model? | 09:17 |
| eth01 | cypha: are they working properly? | 09:17 |
| openg | I dont have view menu | 09:17 |
| LSD|Ninja | When it comes to wireless, I wish for two things: That people would give up this notion that it's any kind of replacement for wired networking and that when configuring it, *always* have the machine near a wired connection for fallback. | 09:18 |
| cypha | i dunno, why eth01? | 09:18 |
| eth01 | cypha: has crap LAN legacy fyi | 09:18 |
| DistroJockey | openg, check the Preferences for Tabs in Firefox | 09:18 |
| ay^_ | LSD|Ninja: I second that last part at least | 09:18 |
| eth01 | cypha: no reason | 09:18 |
| Uplink | eth01, im always calm down =] | 09:18 |
| varunn | in edit preferences, go to tabs, and click New Tab, under "new pages should be opened in" | 09:19 |
| cypha | so what next uplink? | 09:19 |
| cypha | does my model number bother you? | 09:19 |
| Uplink | looking cypha | 09:19 |
| taq | anybody know how to get a geforce 8800GT video card recognized running ubuntu under osx/parallels? | 09:19 |
| Uplink | cypha, perhaps not | 09:20 |
| DistroJockey | openg, then you don't have xchat you have xchat-gnome | 09:20 |
| openg | oh ok | 09:20 |
| LSD|Ninja | taq: does Parallels have any kind of acceleration mode? | 09:20 |
| openg | that why then | 09:20 |
| DistroJockey | openg, most likely, yep | 09:20 |
| Uplink | cypha, lspci -v | pastebinit | 09:20 |
| LSD|Ninja | ay^_: using wireless where it's practical to run cables is retarded | 09:20 |
| taq | LSD|Ninja: not sure, i'll check | 09:20 |
| Uplink | Hyperviolet, did u try this? http://ohioloco.ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=593686 | 09:21 |
| ay^_ | LSD|Ninja: well running cables wheres its unpractical is too | 09:21 |
| ionstorm66 | hello | 09:21 |
| varunn | guys this is probably the wrong place to ask, but does anyone know anything about multithreaded socket programming c++ in linux? | 09:21 |
| ionstorm66 | anyone here installed vmware-server on ubuntu? | 09:21 |
| Hyperviolet | Uplink, yes.. that's how i got the drivers installed in the first place | 09:21 |
| Hyperviolet | ndiswrapper -i ../WG111/WG111v3.inf | 09:21 |
| Vooloo | anyone successfully run linux on a laptop and can recommend a brand/model that actually works? | 09:22 |
| sbillaudelle | ionstorm66: Yes, some time ago... | 09:22 |
| DistroJockey | varunn, yep, wrong place :) | 09:22 |
| FibonacciGold | Vooloo: I would recommend Acer or HP , stay away from Dell. | 09:22 |
| ionstorm66 | sbillaudelle: 64 or 32bit | 09:22 |
| ionstorm66 | ? | 09:22 |
| gonzojive_ | did Ubuntu back up my old xorg.conf when I upgraded from Gutsty to Hardy? | 09:22 |
| Uplink | Hyperviolet, im not quite familiar with ndiswrapper... never liked it | 09:22 |
| sbillaudelle | Vooloo: IBM/Lenove | 09:22 |
| ay^_ | Vooloo: well my dell inspiron 1525 works pretty well out of the box | 09:22 |
| sbillaudelle | ionsrtom: 32Bit.. | 09:22 |
| LSD|Ninja | FibonacciGold: Even though Dell sell machines with Linux that are guaranteed wot work? :P | 09:23 |
| Hyperviolet | yeah it was a pain, but it ended up doing everything without error | 09:23 |
| Hyperviolet | so i assumed that means it worked | 09:23 |
| openg | ok thanks for the help | 09:23 |
| Hyperviolet | cos i can see the wireless adapter now | 09:23 |
| Hyperviolet | it just won't connect | 09:23 |
| cypha | uplink: http://pastebin.com/d14b34500 | 09:23 |
| FibonacciGold | LSD|Ninja: Yes, even though. Dell's are built to work for 2-3 years, I feel there are issues past the guarantee time. | 09:23 |
| Uplink | Hyperviolet, where in the "no connect" you stuck? | 09:23 |
| DuClare | How many packages are there in Ubuntu's repos? | 09:23 |
| Vooloo | ay^_: and you recommend it? | 09:24 |
| ay^_ | lets hope this one lasts for more than 3 years, I'll need it for studying in the next 4 years | 09:24 |
| Hyperviolet | well i mean i can see the adapter, configure it, but when i try to use google nothing happens | 09:24 |
| Uplink | cypha, i got an HP laptop too... with almost the same wireless adapter... i dont see the problem... :/ | 09:24 |
| Hyperviolet | and i can't connect to my router or anything outside of my own computer | 09:24 |

| taq | can anybody help me with this... http://www.grabup.com/uploads/7f689fb046b041af9437a6d8472b9fd0.png | 09:25 |
| cypha | with b43-fwcutter and ndiswrapper? | 09:25 |
| ay^_ | Vooloo: i can, but the sound wont go up as much as I would want it to | 09:26 |
| Uplink | cypha, probably... because i was in your place when gutsy was out... and 6.10... i was miserable trying to get my wi-fi working | 09:26 |
| LSD|Ninja | Aside from the wireless (which was correctable by compiling a newer version of madwifi but I didn't want to bother with that nonsense), my MacBook ran Gutsy fairly well for the few hours I had it on there | 09:26 |
| Raheem | Uplink, in the earlier stages of hardy, there was an issue of ndiswrapper, fsb ... messing up . .you got to rmmode them.. then load them .. just a thought | 09:26 |
| cypha | uplink, can i pm you for a moment? | 09:26 |
| ay^_ | Vooloo: I tend to have the sound volume up to the max all the time, and that doesn't sound too loud | 09:26 |
| Bert_2 | Hi, is it possible to change the nautilus icon for a certain file type ? | 09:26 |
| sbillaudelle | I've got an IBM Thinkpad T40... But it's quite old... A friend of mine just bought an R60... Everything works out of the box! | 09:26 |
| Vooloo | I was thinking apple pro, but they are a bit expensive | 09:26 |
| Uplink | cypha, i upgrated to hardy 8.04 and out of the box it told me if i wanted to use and download the firmware on the restricted drivers | 09:27 |
| Hyperviolet | lenovo makes solid machines | 09:27 |
| Hyperviolet | real nice | 09:27 |
| cypha | damn, it didn't ask me that | 09:27 |
| Uplink | Raheem, thats why i dont like ndiswrapper | 09:27 |
| Vooloo | ibm owns lenovo? | 09:27 |
| cypha | uplink, can i pm you? | 09:27 |
| LSD|Ninja | Vooloo: oter way around | 09:27 |

| Blaqlight | lol | 09:27 |
| LSD|Ninja | Vooloo: IBM sold their PC division to Lenovo 4-5 years ago | 09:27 |
| Hyperviolet | ndiswrapper was the only way to get my particular USB adapter to work | 09:27 |
| Vooloo | ah | 09:27 |
| LSD|Ninja | Vooloo: depends where you are. Here, there's only about AUD$100 between the top spec T61p and the base 15" MacBook Pro | 09:28 |
| Hyperviolet | Vooloo, yeah ibm owns lenovo | 09:28 |
| ay^_ | Vooloo: tho out of the box the sound is almost too low so you'll have to tweak your /etc/modprobe.d/alsa-base | 09:28 |
| Hyperviolet | er | 09:28 |
| Hyperviolet | vice versa | 09:28 |
| Vooloo | LSD|Ninja: I mean if you compare apple to like sony laptop the price is great | 09:28 |
| Hyperviolet | fujitsu makes great laptops as well | 09:28 |
| XazzzaX | Guys, im having some probs with cairo dock. for some reason it wont start up for me, ive installed both deb packages and its in my app window but when i try to launch it. nothing ive read several guides and honstly i dont know whats wrong , ive reinstalled it several times aswell. any ideas?P | 09:28 |
| Hyperviolet | the lifebook is solid | 09:28 |
| Hyperviolet | much underrated | 09:29 |
| LSD|Ninja | The MacBook non-Pro is one of the cheaper machines in the 12-14" category here too | 09:29 |
| sbillaudelle | Yeah... Sound was a little bit to low... | 09:29 |
| Hyperviolet | i have a macbook standard | 09:29 |
| Hyperviolet | it's awesome | 09:29 |
| Hyperviolet | no issues at all | 09:29 |
| Vooloo | anything below 15" is to small to work with graphics | 09:30 |
| ActionParsnip | yo yo yo | 09:30 |
| LSD|Ninja | At first, I wasn't sure I was going to like the 13" machine but now anything bigger is just too big | 09:30 |
| ActionParsnip | LSD|Ninja: a 13" system case? | 09:31 |

| XazzzaX | Guys, im having some probs with cairo dock. for some reason it wont start up for me, ive installed both deb packages and its in my app window but when i try to launch it. nothing ive read several guides and honstly i dont know whats wrong , ive reinstalled it several times aswell. any ideas?P | 09:33 |
| ActionParsnip | LSD|Ninja: I found Linux fine before Ubuntu | 09:33 |
| sbillaudelle | XazzzaX: Any console output? | 09:33 |
| ActionParsnip | XazzzaX: does it run with gksudo (just to test) | 09:34 |
| XazzzaX | How do i find that out action? | 09:34 |
| XazzzaX | <-----Huge noob | 09:34 |
| ActionParsnip | XazzzaX: just type gksudo before the application you normally run | 09:35 |
| sbillaudelle | Just call 'gksudo cairo-dock' | 09:35 |
| ActionParsnip | XazzzaX: you can also autocomplete names in irc ;) | 09:35 |
| LSD|Ninja | ActionParsnip: you found constant breakage, instability and inconsistency fine? :P | 09:35 |
| Vooloo | ay^_: is the battery good? I think that is the most important :P | 09:35 |
| ActionParsnip | XazzzaX: I put your name at the start so you know im addressing you | 09:35 |
| Hyperviolet | hey now, linux wasn't that terrible before ubuntu | 09:35 |
| Vooloo | 6-cell or 9-cell | 09:35 |
| XazzzaX | Ahh ok | 09:35 |
| ActionParsnip | LSD|Ninja: Ive had very few issues in mandrake 7 | 09:36 |
| XazzzaX | It dosent say anything | 09:36 |
| Hyperviolet | remember when redhat was like the new AOL | 09:36 |
| LSD|Ninja | I mean, it's all still there in Ubuntu - they just hide it better :P | 09:36 |
| Hyperviolet | everyone was using it | 09:36 |
| === Paijo_paimin is now known as co | ||
| Hyperviolet | until ubuntu came along, redhat was the easiest to setup | 09:36 |
| sbillaudelle | XazzzaX: Hm... How do you start it? | 09:36 |
| ActionParsnip | Hyperviolet: i didnt like redhat. I tried 6 but went back to mandrake | 09:36 |
| LSD|Ninja | heh, you only had to sneeze to cause something to crash in Mandrake | 09:36 |
| Hyperviolet | yeah redhat was lame.. | 09:36 |
| Hyperviolet | i was a debian dude | 09:37 |
| XazzzaX | I click it thy mu applications systemtools window in my ubuntu start menu | 09:37 |
| XazzzaX | i guess you could call it :P | 09:37 |
| gordonjcp | hah | 09:37 |
| Hyperviolet | but i found no use for it later because i quit IT altogether and went into design | 09:37 |
| gordonjcp | I tried mandrake, and then realised it was built for pentiums only | 09:37 |
| ActionParsnip | XazzzaX: right click the item -> properties | 09:37 |
| Vooloo | why the hell can't I deselect vista for my dell? ;[ | 09:37 |
| sbillaudelle | XazzzaX: Just open a terminal... And type 'cairo-dock' | 09:37 |
| gordonjcp | cue much swearing | 09:37 |
| LSD|Ninja | gordonjcp: Yeah, it started out as a pentium optimised version of red hat | 09:37 |
| ActionParsnip | gordonjcp: why swearing? | 09:37 |
| Hyperviolet | slackware was always awesome too | 09:37 |
| XazzzaX | ok done that | 09:38 |
| ActionParsnip | XazzzaX: try tab completing the command | 09:38 |
| gordonjcp | ActionParsnip: because it hosed my system | 09:38 |
| sunschool | can i ask a question also? | 09:38 |
| ActionParsnip | gordonjcp: didnt have any issues. In fact, its still standing now | 09:38 |
| LSD|Ninja | Slackware is awesome in that it sticks to its principles despite pressue from everywhere to move forward but it's really from an era long past | 09:38 |
| PanzerMKZ | Hyperviolet slackware is still cool. I run it as a router and ubuntu server as my servers | 09:38 |
| sbillaudelle | sunschool, of course you can.-) | 09:38 |
| sunschool | tyvm | 09:38 |
| Hyperviolet | ahh longevity | 09:39 |
| PanzerMKZ | LSD|Ninja I don't think so at all. the long past | 09:39 |
| XazzzaX | ok when i typed cairo dock i got a error line saying it cant laod libraries | 09:39 |
| gordonjcp | ActionParsnip: I'm guessing you were using a pentium-class cpu? | 09:39 |

| ActionParsnip | gordonjcp: amd athlon k7 (one before thunderbird) 750Mhz | 09:39 |
| XazzzaX | ActionParsnip: how do you mean tab it? | 09:39 |
| sunschool | how do I know whats going on when I upgraded my computer from 6.06 to 8.04 and it is now slow and times out alot | 09:39 |
| ActionParsnip | XazzzaX: type half a command and press tab | 09:39 |
| XazzzaX | in the propertise window ? | 09:40 |
| DistroJockey | sunschool, what times out alot? | 09:40 |
| LSD|Ninja | sunschool: 8.04 is an LTS, what you're experiencing is normal. It'll be fine in time for the next LTS, wait and see | 09:40 |
| Hyperviolet | i guess my problem is complicated :( | 09:40 |
| gordonjcp | ActionParsnip: in 1998 I was using a 486-DX120 | 09:40 |
| ActionParsnip | XazzzaX: no, that only gives you the command you need to run from command line to run the same app | 09:40 |
| sbillaudelle | sunschool, you can type 'top' in a terminal... | 09:40 |
| LSD|Ninja | PanzerMKZ: http://bandcamp.tv/linux-demotivators/slackware.jpg <- funny because it's true | 09:40 |
| XazzzaX | erm, im totaly lost now mate. | 09:40 |
| sunschool | when i try to browse the web | 09:40 |
| ActionParsnip | gordonjcp: I have one of those around the place | 09:40 |
| ionstorm66 | how would i add a new ext3 partion to mount on boot | 09:40 |
| sbillaudelle | XazzzaX, If you type the first letters of a command you can press 'tab' to aoutocomplete it... | 09:41 |
| ActionParsnip | XazzzaX: ok, the menu thing you have essentially gives you a pretty thing to click to run your apps | 09:41 |
| gordonjcp | ActionParsnip: I think I gave it to someone to run a firewall on, not sure what happened to it | 09:41 |
| XazzzaX | are we in the terminal now | 09:41 |
| XazzzaX | or the propetise window | 09:41 |
| gordonjcp | I still have the 386SX-16 that I first ran Linux on | 09:41 |
| nooga | grub throws error 17 (can't mount) | 09:41 |
| sunschool | the one that comes out in october? | 09:41 |
| DistroJockey | sunschool, sounds like a misconfigured /etc/hosts file to me so far | 09:41 |
| ActionParsnip | XazzzaX: you can do exactly the same thing from command line, you can do everything at cli that you can do in gui | 09:41 |
| Vooloo | man the dell inspiron seemed nice until I read about the sound issues.. why cant they just make stuff work | 09:41 |
| sbillaudelle | XazzzaX, In the terminal... | 09:41 |
| XazzzaX | right ok | 09:42 |
| ActionParsnip | XazzzaX: if you want to launch an app with admin privs you'll need gksudo | 09:42 |
| nooga | i've got 320GB dish with system and RAID matrix next to it | 09:42 |
| nooga | disk* | 09:42 |
| Hyperviolet | dell is synonymous with FAIL | 09:42 |
| nooga | but grub fails | 09:42 |
| ActionParsnip | XazzzaX: so you find out the program to run then type it out but put gksudo at the start | 09:42 |
| sunschool | I upgraded from the internet | 09:42 |
| LSD|Ninja | Hyperviolet: Ah, that explains why they're shipping system with Linux preinstalled :P | 09:42 |
| DistroJockey | sunschool, can you please pastebin /etc/hosts ? | 09:42 |
| Hyperviolet | that doesn't make the hardware any good | 09:42 |
| Hyperviolet | that just means they are catering | 09:43 |
| XazzzaX | nope still nothing | 09:43 |
| sunschool | I'm sorry what do you mean | 09:43 |
| DistroJockey | sunschool, the following should do the job: sudo apt-get install pastebinit && cat /etc/hosts | pastebinit | 09:43 |
| Vooloo | LSD|Ninja: laptops? | 09:43 |
| sbillaudelle | XazzzaX, please open a terminal... | 09:43 |
| ActionParsnip | XazzzaX: ok any output? | 09:43 |
| XazzzaX | ive done that | 09:43 |
| sbillaudelle | Then type 'sudo cairo-dock' | 09:43 |
| XazzzaX | nope nothing, same as before just a new command line and nothing else | 09:44 |
| sunschool | in the terminal | 09:44 |
| DistroJockey | sunschool, yep | 09:44 |
| ActionParsnip | sbillaudelle: its gksudo as its a gui app | 09:44 |
| sbillaudelle | Hm... | 09:44 |
| XazzzaX | when i do that | 09:44 |
| XazzzaX | i get a error line | 09:44 |
| LSD|Ninja | Vooloo: I believe so. They don't sell them here and I really don't care about buying a system with Linux pre-installed so other than knowing they sell them, I can't say much else | 09:44 |
| ActionParsnip | sbillaudelle: please dont advise users to use sudo with gui apps | 09:44 |
| XazzzaX | cairo-dock: error while loading shared libraries: libglitz-glx.so.1: cannot open shared object file: No such file or directory | 09:44 |
| sunschool | the one in applications | 09:44 |
| sbillaudelle | ActionParsnip, but from console I prefer sudo;-) | 09:44 |
| DistroJockey | sunschool, yep, that will do fine | 09:44 |
| Vooloo | LSD|Ninja: pre-install might indicate that the shit actually works.. of course you reinstall ;) | 09:45 |
| ActionParsnip | sbillaudelle: for console apps yes use sudo, for gui apps use gksudo | 09:45 |
| ActionParsnip | XazzzaX: you need that library | 09:45 |
| sunschool | ok i will try and get back to let you know and i thank you | 09:45 |
| XazzzaX | Ahh ok, ill check syn if i cant find it then :) | 09:45 |
| XazzzaX | Thanks a million guys <3 | 09:45 |
| Hyperviolet | ok so.. wireless USB fixes? :D | 09:45 |
| DistroJockey | ActionParsnip, gksu is better to use rather than gksudo actually | 09:45 |
| sbillaudelle | ActionParsnip, Ok... sorry... I was doing it this was since I was born... | 09:45 |
| ActionParsnip | sbillaudelle: sudo soesnt set up the enviroment properly and can harm permissions and ownership | 09:46 |
| ActionParsnip | DistroJockey: how are they different? | 09:46 |
| DistroJockey | sunschool, no problem, paste the link you get here when it's done | 09:46 |
| DistroJockey | ActionParsnip, see man gksu | 09:46 |
| XazzzaX | Hmm now ive reinstalled them and i get the same error :( | 09:46 |
| ActionParsnip | XazzzaX: try sudo apt-get install libglitz | 09:47 |
| ActionParsnip | DistroJockey: I use kde | 09:47 |
| ActionParsnip | DistroJockey: googling instead :) | 09:47 |
| nooga | if some drive is seen as hdb, for grub it's hd1, ye? | 09:47 |
| XazzzaX | says it cant find the package | 09:47 |
| sbillaudelle | ActionParsnip, Outch! Thank you very much! | 09:47 |
| ActionParsnip | XazzzaX: try tab completing it :D | 09:47 |
| DistroJockey | ActionParsnip, ahh. Well: "gksu is a frontend to su and gksudo is a frontend to sudo.Also notice that the library will decide if it should use su or sudo as backend using the /apps/gksu/sudo-mode gconf key, if you call the gksu command. You can force the backend by using the gksudo command ..." | 09:48 |
| ActionParsnip | Traditionnally, gksu is just a graphical su and gksudo a graphical sudo | 09:48 |
| DistroJockey | ActionParsnip, note the "force" part | 09:48 |
| eth01 | traditionally | 09:49 |
| Hyperviolet | ok so.. my problem is unsolvable haha | 09:49 |
| ActionParsnip | ahh i see, Im guessing thats the same as kdesu / kdesudo | 09:49 |
| ss0 | Does anyone know the reason why they replaced traceroute with tracepath. | 09:49 |
| XazzzaX | It just told me that i had the latest version | 09:49 |
| ActionParsnip | ss0: i thought it was tracert | 09:49 |
| Hyperviolet | in windows it's tracert | 09:50 |
| ss0 | yeah, they seem to have aliased the command to tracert, like windows, WHY ugh. | 09:50 |

| Tsukasa-Ujiie | hey, is there a way to... migrate a wubi install to a flashdrive and somehow instal grub on2 the usb | 10:13 |
| DistroJockey | laughtear, I assume you have a working grub atm? | 10:13 |
| anolis | im having trouble getting ssh tunneling working, can anyone help? i get an error "channel 2: open failed: connect failed: Connection refused" | 10:13 |
| Hyperviolet | Action, yes.. iwlist scan shows upw tih my wireless network | 10:13 |
| I_Am | well that didnt work | 10:13 |
| untraceable | how can i fix this | 10:13 |
| ActionParsnip | Hyperviolet: then you are halfway there | 10:14 |
| ActionParsnip | Hyperviolet: and you installed ndiswrapper successfully | 10:14 |
| anolis | untraceable, you can fix it by installing grub onto a harddrive that is physically connected to the computer | 10:14 |
| Hyperviolet | yes | 10:14 |
| anolis | search "grub install howto" | 10:14 |
| Hyperviolet | and the driver is successfully installed as i can see the adapter in the Network Settings GUI | 10:14 |
| ActionParsnip | Hyperviolet: i personally editted /etc/network/interfaces to add my network details | 10:15 |
| Hyperviolet | what details, specifically? like my DNS info? | 10:15 |
| Hyperviolet | the only other thing it might be is my WEP key is wrong, but i don't really think so | 10:15 |
| ActionParsnip | Hyperviolet: like ip address, gateway, ESSID, Key etc | 10:16 |
| I_Am | [mntent]: line 10 in /etc/fstab is bad | 10:16 |
| untraceable | any thoughts | 10:17 |
| Hyperviolet | even if my WEP key was incorrect, shouldn't i be able to connect to the router anyway? | 10:17 |
| I_Am | and line 10 is /dev/sda2 /var/lib/vmware/Virtual\ Machines ext3 defaults 0 0 | 10:17 |
| ActionParsnip | Hyperviolet: no, as you dont have the key | 10:17 |
| Hyperviolet | right ok | 10:17 |
| Hyperviolet | ubunto only allows me two types of keys | 10:17 |

| Hyperviolet | WEP (ascii) and WEP (hex) | 10:18 |
| fwaokda | I found a page that will install my wireless card, but I'm about to reinstall and wont have interent to do the apt-get commands. Is there a way I can get all that stuff before I reinstall??? | 10:18 |
| Hyperviolet | if i have a long key, i am assuming this means it is hex? | 10:18 |
| minimec | Hyperviolet: Be carefull with the network-manager, as using WEP you can xhoose, if you want to enter the key in HEX or in ASCII. That changes a lot... ;) | 10:18 |
| ActionParsnip | Hyperviolet: http://www.cyberciti.biz/faq/setting-up-an-network-interfaces-file/ | 10:19 |
| Hyperviolet | are you saying i shouldn't use the GUI ? | 10:19 |
| ActionParsnip | Hyperviolet: the top bits of code are all you really need | 10:19 |
| ActionParsnip | Hyperviolet: im suggesting you dont have to, thats all | 10:19 |
| Lamerion | question : typing su in terminal prompts u for a password. what happens if i dun have that password | 10:20 |
| Hyperviolet | ok, understood | 10:20 |
| minimec | Hyperviolet: If you use the GUI, verify that you choose the right option... | 10:20 |
| untraceable | can anyone help wit grub problem | 10:20 |
| ActionParsnip | Lamerion: then you wont get promoted, you dont need to use su. Just use sudo or gksu | 10:20 |
| XGas | Or you can look at WiFi-radar | 10:20 |
| XGas | just set the driver entry as wext | 10:21 |
| Lamerion | ugh.. but i need to get to usr/src/local folder | 10:21 |
| Lamerion | >< | 10:21 |
| I_Am | a you have to make spaces "\040" in fstab | 10:21 |
| untraceable | can any one help with a grub problem | 10:21 |
| minimec | untraceable: DOn't ask if you can ask a question... Just ask the question ... | 10:22 |
| anolis | untraceable, what is the problem | 10:22 |
| untraceable | ok i installed ubuntu on a thumb drive and without that thumb drive inserted i cant boot into windows or any other OS on hard drive | 10:23 |
| DistroJockey | fwaokda, got disconnected :( | 10:23 |
| gavi | folk i accidently hit spacebar inside the alsamixer settings and now aux is set on capture.. how do i "uncapture" | 10:24 |
| fwaokda | DistroJockey, oh were you talking to me ha didn't notice :O | 10:24 |
| DistroJockey | fwaokda, lol. Glad I didn't miss a reply then :) | 10:24 |
| ActionParsnip | Lamerion: you can cd to the source file as yourself | 10:24 |
| fwaokda | DistroJockey, haha | 10:24 |
| drtorres | hey there. I've got a problem with my wifi. its not working on my acer laptop | 10:25 |
| fwaokda | DistroJockey, so is there a way I can do it? | 10:25 |
| DistroJockey | fwaokda, you see what I said at all? | 10:25 |
| Lamerion | oh true.. thx | 10:25 |
| DistroJockey | fwaokda, get on the current install and copy if from /var/cache/apt/archives to the same place on the clean install | 10:25 |
| DistroJockey | fwaokda, or copy the whole /var/cache/apt/archives if you like | 10:25 |
| minimec | untraceable: So I guess you have to change your BIOS Options. | 10:25 |
| ActionParsnip | Lamerion: if you need power, use gksu or sudo, you dont need su | 10:25 |
| Lamerion | nods... | 10:26 |
| fwaokda | DistroJockey, oh ok - sweet thanks | 10:26 |
| m_newton | Hey any one know a good portable multi os X11 server | 10:26 |
| DistroJockey | fwaokda, you're welcome | 10:26 |
| untraceable | i previously had xp and backtrack2 dual set up now without that thumb drive i cant boot those two i waant it normal again | 10:26 |
| minimec | untraceable: The boot order for example. Looks like the 'thum drive' has priority over the HArddisk | 10:26 |

| I_Am | ActionParsnip: basic things like running a lice cd are much simpler | 10:29 |
| trigsenior | debian | 10:29 |
| ActionParsnip | I_Am: qemu has native cpu access too rather than an emulated cpu | 10:29 |
| ActionParsnip | depends what you need, if you like it then cool | 10:30 |
| I_Am | ActionParsnip: plus vm-ware is almost faster than native | 10:30 |
| m_newton | Hey any one know a good portable multi os X11 server | 10:30 |
| I_Am | xp pro installed from iso in under 5 min | 10:30 |
| ActionParsnip | I_Am: how can a vitual cpu go faster than the host cpu? | 10:30 |
| minimec | untraceable: When you boot, can you access the grub menu by pressing 'esc'? | 10:30 |
| I_Am | ActionParsnip: io is faster iva iso mount | 10:31 |
| untraceable | minimec: havent tried but ill give it a shot real quick be back | 10:31 |
| minimec | untraceable: ok | 10:31 |
| ActionParsnip | I_Am: well yeah but i can put any OS cd on a disk and install just as fast. Thats comparing CD access times to ISO mounts, Thats not a VMWare specific feature | 10:32 |

| tbf | seems ubuntu's pidgin just sets some urgent hint, instead of raising the contact list when i click the tray icon | 10:33 |
| s_spiff | is there any application in ubuntu, which recognizes the words in a scanned document and automatically copy pastes it to a open office writer? | 10:34 |
| tbf | despite that this is wrong since 1) urgency hints are not for user triggered actions 2) urgency hints only work when you use the task list applet... | 10:34 |

| Guest53630 | Hello | 10:38 |
| soundray | s_spiff: at the moment, both of them require some reading of docs and experimenting before you get reasonable results | 10:38 |
| Everyday | Hi people | 10:38 |

| untraceable | minimec: esc dosent work but e gibes me four options | 10:41 |
| ActionParsnip | bomba: yes thats all you need, you'll type your pass and you can edit it all you want | 10:41 |
| ActionParsnip | bomba: id make a backup first before ditting so you can roll back if you mess up | 10:41 |
| soundray | alimoe: are you looking for a database management system? mysql and postgresql are among the popular ones | 10:41 |
| I_Am | ActionParsnip: its is a ancient inventory database | 10:41 |
| alimoe | thnx soundray | 10:42 |
| ActionParsnip | I_Am: ah, suprised it doesnt wine | 10:42 |
| bomba | ActionParsnip, but can i change that in G Conf? | 10:42 |
| minimec | bomba: sudo chmod 777 'yourfile' could help. with that command you give read/write access to evryone... | 10:42 |
| ActionParsnip | bomba: change what? | 10:42 |
| I_Am | ActionParsnip: really really old | 10:42 |
| ActionParsnip | I_Am: really old usually works, but if it doesnt I guess you gots no choice | 10:42 |
| bomba | ActionParsnip, that i can edit direct witt gksu nautilus | 10:42 |
| I_Am | ActionParsnip: the win 2k program is an emulator to some old os | 10:42 |
| bomba | minimec, that is no way | 10:42 |
| ActionParsnip | bomba: I wouldnt. Only gksu what you need to | 10:43 |
| ActionParsnip | bomba: means you can potentially break less | 10:43 |
| linuxfce | i put Option "Coolbits" "1″ in xorg.config under "device" but i still see no coolbits option in nvidia-settings | 10:44 |
| linuxfce | any suggestions? | 10:44 |
| bomba | ActionParsnip, i browser the folder with gksu nautilus and well edit direct all the file has opened with gedit | 10:44 |
| minimec | untraceable: To understand your problem. You have a dual-boot system and a USB-stick. When the stick is plugged, you can also start all OS. Without stick you cannot boot anything... Is that correct? | 10:44 |
| RLGyde | Hey, can some in short tell me when universe package's gets updated? (I am looking at hobbit 4.2.0.dfsg-10 vs 4.2.0.dfsg-13 in Debian) | 10:44 |

| ActionParsnip | linuxfce: http://aldeby.org/blog/index.php/enable-nvidia-coolbits-frequency-tuner.html | 10:45 |
| untraceable | no have a dual boot on hdd and ubuntu on stick, comp uses grub as booter weather stick is in or not, if not no grub means no boot | 10:46 |
| ActionParsnip | linuxfce: "1″? try "1" | 10:46 |
| minimec | untraceable: I give you this link... Supergrub allows you to create a new grub menu list. Quiet a good tool. http://www.supergrubdisk.org/ | 10:46 |

| nooga | i'm having problems with adaptec RAID controller | 10:53 |

| soundray | untraceable: what do you want to see when you boot without the USB drive? | 10:53 |
| linuxfce | now i have an overclocking section in nvidia-settings, but when i hit apply, the clocks go right back to normal | 10:54 |
| ActionParsnip | linuxfce: did you run nvidia-settings with gksu? | 10:54 |
| linuxfce | maybe i should install the drivers from nvidia.com, rather than repository? | 10:54 |
| untraceable | the lilo boot screen with the two options for xp and backtrack2 | 10:54 |
| linuxfce | i used apt | 10:54 |
| Vooloo | how do I delete files, its 48.000 files in one directory. I get this for "rm *" bash: /bin/rm: Argument list too long | 10:55 |
| Vooloo | I can't do rm -rf * because there is a subdir I dont want to remove | 10:55 |
| linuxfce | vooloo rm -rf /dir | 10:55 |
| soundray | linuxfce: I would recommend you stick with the driver that you have if it's working in principle. | 10:55 |
| linuxfce | oh lol i didnt finish reading that vooloo sorry | 10:56 |
| linuxfce | vooloo thats a good question, hacky solution, but i'd just copy the subdir somewhere else | 10:56 |
| linuxfce | vooloo, since you cant have a dir inside of a nonexisting dir anyway | 10:56 |
| ed0n0n | hi there, I'm upgrading a laptop from 7.10 to 8.04 LTS and I got stuck "Generating locales..." exactly "en_AU.UTF-8", it's been there for more than a hour and doesn't seem to go on. What should I do now? | 10:57 |
| linuxfce | then recreate it if you want it there? i dont know the efficient way to do that | 10:57 |
| untraceable | soundray: i want to see the lilo boot screen that i had set up | 10:57 |
| ActionParsnip | linuxfce: NEVER tell anyone to do that man, people really screw systems with that command | 10:57 |
| linuxfce | soundray, yeah this driver seems to be working ok, but i really want to oc this for compiz fusion | 10:57 |
| linuxfce | ok actionparsnip | 10:57 |
| soundray | linuxfce: perhaps your overclocking settings are too aggressive? I suppose the driver defines an acceptable range | 10:58 |
| linuxfce | what is gksu and how to i use it? | 10:58 |
| linuxfce | i dont think so soundray, those clocks run very stable on winblows | 10:58 |
| soundray | linuxfce: it runs graphical programs with administrative privileges. | 10:58 |
| ActionParsnip | linuxfce: it gives you root power to gui apps and sets up the environment properly | 10:58 |
| Cleveland | How do i configure network? | 10:59 |
| linuxfce | oh, well i did sudo? | 10:59 |
| soundray | linuxfce: yes, but the Linux driver is different | 10:59 |
| ed0n0n | is there any way to jump the locales from the upgrading? | 10:59 |
| I_Am | gksu is like sudo but for gui apps | 10:59 |
| soundray | !gksu | linuxfce | 10:59 |
| ubottu | linuxfce: 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) | 10:59 |
| linuxfce | soundray i will test incrimenting one integer then | 10:59 |
| ActionParsnip | linuxfce: you need to gksu as it will use the correct environment | 10:59 |
| Cleveland | in /etc/network/interfaces I have only these: | 10:59 |
| Cleveland | auto lo | 10:59 |
| linuxfce | soundray same result | 10:59 |
| Cleveland | iface lo inet loopback | 10:59 |
| fqh | Hello, all | 10:59 |
| linuxfce | ok actionparsnip i will try that | 10:59 |
| linuxfce | actionparsnip same result | 11:00 |
| linuxfce | i had this problem in windows before and it was the driver itself that didnt support the function | 11:00 |
| soundray | linuxfce: in the case of nvidia-settings, sudo or gksu won't make a difference. Still, it's a good habit to use gksu whenever your program is graphical | 11:00 |
| ActionParsnip | linuxfce: so the changes dont stick? | 11:00 |
| linuxfce | yeah as soon as i hit apply settings are reverted to default | 11:00 |
| linuxfce | also i get an error when trying to set the clocks manually in terminal | 11:01 |
| ActionParsnip | soundray: you can damage file ownership and permissions if you use sudo with gui apps | 11:01 |
| I_Am | maybe you card is locked | 11:01 |
| untraceable | i set the hdd as top o list in boot order and it still uses grub for everything | 11:01 |
| ed0n0n | I'm in a critical situation, please. The 8.04 updgrading got stuck, how can I cancel? | 11:01 |
| soundray | ActionParsnip: I know -- did you see me calling up the factoid? | 11:01 |
| linuxfce | soundray i think youre on to something, because it lets me underclock! | 11:01 |
| fqh | When I compile kernel source, It occurs "Install ncurses (ncurses-devel) and try again.". But when I try to get "ncurses-devel" with apt-get, It says that ncurses-devel nonexist. | 11:01 |
| ActionParsnip | soundray: sorry, my bad | 11:01 |
| linuxfce | i am able to under clock as far as i like | 11:01 |
| linuxfce | how frustrating | 11:02 |
| soundray | Vooloo: has it worked now? | 11:02 |
| ActionParsnip | linuxfce: interesting | 11:02 |
| fqh | what name shoud I use to fetch "ncurses-devel"? | 11:02 |
| Vooloo | I had to copy out the directory, delete and copy back... can't do this all the time so gotta get this system changed | 11:02 |
| ActionParsnip | fqh: sudo apt-get install ncurses-devel | 11:02 |
| linuxfce | so its looking like it is infact restriction, that or for some odd reason the driver only supports underclock? i highly doubt that | 11:02 |
| soundray | linuxfce: make a backup before you install drivers not supported by Ubuntu | 11:03 |
| linuxfce | or maybe its just a bug | 11:03 |
| tphilosopher | Hey guys. I was wondering if it is possible to make a file executable for one or more specified users (but not all users). | 11:03 |
| ActionParsnip | linuxfce: go forth and websearch | 11:03 |
| ed0n0n | do you now a proc named localedef?? | 11:03 |
| ActionParsnip | tphilosopher: you could make a group and add the authorised users to it | 11:03 |

| jokoon | emesene has been updated ! when will the update come ? | 11:03 |
| Testral | morgen | 11:03 |

| loquitus_of_borg | zvacet: how likely is it to work if I go as you say? feisty to gutsy to hardy? | 11:14 |

| genik | can i use compiz with gnome? | 11:16 |
| bazhang | genik, yes | 11:16 |

| genik | install simple-ccsm? | 11:18 |

| bazhang | genik, no; install simple-ccsm from synaptic or compizconfig-settings-manager | 11:19 |
| mawy | ola | 11:19 |

| I_Am | nooga: bumber | 11:19 |
| loquitus_of_borg | zvacet: No separate home... so you suggest then I do an alternative upgrade in a 3 step process or directly to hardy from edgy, using alternative cd? | 11:20 |
| bazhang | loquitus_of_borg, cant do one step in your case | 11:20 |
| genik | okay i installed simple ccsm | 11:20 |
| genik | how do i use it | 11:20 |
| zvacet | loquitus_of_borg : easier way is to make separate home and afterr that install hardy | 11:21 |
| soundray | genik: there should now be a new item in your System-Preferences menu | 11:21 |

| ed0n0n | What if the updgrade goes on forever? | 11:21 |
| loquitus_of_borg | Can I upgrade to hardy without cd, using synaptic? I know it does not work as it is right now... since my synaptic package manager fails when I try to upgrade | 11:21 |
| The-Compiler | rommel_: no question now? ;) | 11:21 |
| ed0n0n | is there any way to updgrade, but without locale | 11:21 |
| ed0n0n | ? | 11:21 |
| genik | got it | 11:21 |
| loquitus_of_borg | zvacet: like I said... can't do separte home or reinstall... so what is my best option? | 11:21 |
| bazhang | ed0n0n, why do you care about that | 11:21 |
| genik | what are other programs i should get? | 11:21 |
| zvacet | loquitus_of_borg : yes,you can upgrade with update manager but you have to make edgy up to date | 11:22 |
| soundray | !edgy | 11:22 |
| ubottu | Ubuntu 6.10 (Edgy Eft) was the fifth release of Ubuntu. It is now in end of life, and is unsupported. Please upgrade to a newer release. | 11:22 |

| zvacet | loquitus_of_borg : wait a sec | 11:22 |
| soundray | loquitus_of_borg: I'm generally much in favour of fresh installations -- what's stopping you from doing that? | 11:23 |
| bazhang | gksudo gedit /etc/apt/sources.list loquitus_of_borg and change all instances of edgy to feisty | 11:23 |
| loquitus_of_borg | zvacet: I have spent ALOT of time trying to upgrade this thing but the problem is I do not know how to resolve the issues where synaptic fails to find what it is looking for. | 11:23 |
| ed0n0n | bazhang: I am upgrading, but localedef is going forever, and the updgrade is not finishing, when it was suppossed to be finished in ten minutes. Localedef --no-archive... takes all the CPU and never ends... What can I do to continue or stop upgrade? | 11:23 |
| loquitus_of_borg | soundray: I have alot of stuff installed on here and I really do not want to have to reinstall. besides it sucks to have to reinstall. this is not windows. | 11:23 |
| loquitus_of_borg | bazhang: not that I don't trust you, but what does that do? | 11:24 |
| genik | how do i do that cube thing | 11:24 |
| bazhang | ed0n0n, how long | 11:24 |
| ikonia | genik: it's a compiz effect | 11:24 |
| ed0n0n | bazhang: its been like this like two hours | 11:25 |
| genik | yea i installed simple ccsm | 11:25 |
| === Paijo_paimin is now known as marcopolo | ||
| genik | thats compiz ? | 11:25 |
| ikonia | genik: if you install the simple-ccsm package and enable the cube effect - thats how you do it | 11:25 |
| zvacet | loquitus_of_borg : I´m looking for link | 11:25 |
| genik | i enabled it | 11:25 |
| ikonia | !cube | genik | 11:25 |
| genik | the cube should just appear? | 11:25 |

| loquitus_of_borg | zvacet: that will be awesome. I'd really like to be able to upgrade this without messing with reinstalling. I'd like to hope Ubuntu has mostly figured out how to upgrade without the nonsense microsoft puts us through of complete reinstalls. | 11:26 |
| nooga | how to compile drivers with kernel and use it seamlesly | 11:26 |
| nooga | ? | 11:26 |
| ikonia | nooga: what driver | 11:26 |
| dizzyking | buongiorno | 11:27 |
| zvacet | loquitus_of_borg : in your source list replace all archive.ubuntu.com with old-releases.ubuntu.com | 11:27 |
| bazhang | !upgrade > loquitus_of_borg | 11:27 |
| ubottu | loquitus_of_borg, please see my private message | 11:27 |
| nooga | ikonia: for adaptec raid controller | 11:27 |
| ed0n0n | bazhang: my locale is not supossed to be en_AU.UTF-8, I have es_EU.UTF-8. Is maybe a problem for that? | 11:27 |
| ikonia | nooga: adaptec cards have drives in the kernel | 11:27 |
| klong | hello .. can someone remind me again what is the thing that usplash / splashy reads to know how far along in the bootup it is, and hence how far the progress bar should be along? something to do with init .. | 11:27 |
| ikonia | nooga: you souldn't need an external driver | 11:27 |
| nooga | ikonia: rly? | 11:27 |
| soundray | loquitus_of_borg: sorry, got cut off | 11:27 |
| ikonia | nooga: sure | 11:27 |
| nooga | ikonia: cool | 11:27 |
| zvacet | loquitus_of_borg : after saving and closing file sudo apt-get update && sudo apt-get upgrade | 11:27 |
| bazhang | ed0n0n, not really, can be changed later. | 11:27 |
| ikonia | klong: bootmap | 11:27 |
| klong | bootmap .. that doesnt ring a bell .. u sure? | 11:28 |
| soundray | loquitus_of_borg: you can save your package list (see clone factoid below), and keep your old installation around if you have enough HD space | 11:28 |
| soundray | !clone | loquitus_of_borg | 11:28 |
| ubottu | loquitus_of_borg: To replicate your packages selection on another machine (or restore it if re-installing), you can type « dpkg --get-selections > ~/my-packages », move the file "my-packages" to the other machine, and there type « sudo dpkg --set-selections < my-packages && sudo apt-get dselect-upgrade » - See also !automate | 11:28 |
| ikonia | klong: for mapping out boot times, is that what you mean | 11:28 |
| ed0n0n | bazhang: how could I "jump" this update process and continue with the rest? | 11:28 |
| PucKid | hi everyone | 11:28 |
| bazhang | ed0n0n, is it configuring or still downloading | 11:28 |
| soundray | loquitus_of_borg: I understand your reservations about reinstalling, but Ubuntu evolves in such a way that it's sometimes beneficial to reinstall | 11:28 |
| ed0n0n | bazhang: it is configuring | 11:29 |
| === Paijo_paimin is now known as conello | ||
| ed0n0n | bazhang: nearly finished, it says ten minutes left | 11:29 |
| bazhang | ed0n0n, let it run then | 11:29 |
| ed0n0n | bazhang: ten minutes are already 2 hours | 11:29 |
| === palmtree__ is now known as palmtree | ||
| loquitus_of_borg | zvacet: so I am upgrade first to feisty fawn, right? | 11:30 |
| bazhang | ed0n0n, the configuring sequence is not to be lightly interrupted | 11:30 |
| klong | ikonia, there is something that usplash can read so it knows approximately what percentage of the boot is complete and this is how it decides how far the progress bar is along | 11:30 |
| bazhang | loquitus_of_borg, yes | 11:30 |
| dizzyking | prova | 11:30 |
| loquitus_of_borg | zvacet: which file is that sources you refer to (stupid question I know) | 11:30 |
| pulseezar | hello, I can't get sound with ubuntu on my laptop. any advice? | 11:30 |
| ed0n0n | bazhang: it cannot be, never seen sucha long install of anything. It must be a bug | 11:30 |
| ikonia | klong: no idea what that is, I thought you meant to map out your init process graphically | 11:30 |
| bazhang | dizzyking, english please | 11:30 |
| zvacet | loquitus_of_borg : in terminal gksudo gedit /etc/apt/sources.list and there make changes and sava and close file | 11:31 |
| bazhang | loquitus_of_borg, /etc/apt/sources.list | 11:31 |
| loquitus_of_borg | bazhang: cool | 11:31 |
| soundray | ed0n0n: I agree -- if it's been hanging for two hours, it's probably not worth waiting any longer. Is it an update-manager process, or did you do it on the command line? | 11:31 |
| loquitus_of_borg | sec... | 11:31 |
| bazhang | zvacet, why not change to feisty and dist-upgrade? | 11:31 |
| ed0n0n | soundray: It is running the update-manager | 11:32 |
| yukonjack | what network/channel might help me with openoffice.org calc? | 11:32 |
| pulseezar | hello, I can't get sound with ubuntu on my laptop. any advice? | 11:32 |
| ed0n0n | soundray: I can use the console anyway | 11:32 |
| zvacet | bazhang : that is a option too but is is safe ( I saw it under unrecommend options) | 11:32 |
| nooga | is reiserfs good for setting 1400GB partition on raid? | 11:33 |
| soundray | ed0n0n: I would do a 'sudo killall update-manager', then 'sudo dpkg --configure -a' and 'sudo apt-get -f install' (repeat until you don't get any errors) | 11:33 |
| bazhang | zvacet, certainly | 11:33 |
| ed0n0n | soundray: the update is for the whole system | 11:33 |
| msb | hello | 11:33 |
| bazhang | hi mab | 11:33 |

| msb | i want to set up ddclient | 11:34 |
| zvacet | bazhang : but that doesn´t mean it doeasn´t work I jusr try to give safe instructions if I can | 11:34 |
| ed0n0n | soundray: I mean that its the upgrade from 7.10 to 8.04 | 11:34 |
| bazhang | zvacet, it is perfectly safe | 11:34 |
| ed0n0n | it was nearly finished | 11:34 |
| soundray | ed0n0n: I see. Still, that's what I would do. | 11:34 |
| I_Am | lmao | 11:34 |
| bazhang | I_Am, support question? | 11:35 |
| zvacet | bazhang : O.K. then I never done it in that case that is better option | 11:35 |

| loquitus_of_borg | that is my error dump when I did the apt-get update after doing the search and replace in sources | 11:37 |
| bazhang | loquitus_of_borg, gksudo gedit /etc/apt/sources.list and change all instances of edgy to feisty as I initially recommended | 11:38 |
| ed0n0n | soundray: killed the locale process and now it is going on, but problems with locale, gnome-base-locale and Java related | 11:38 |
| marius2 | hi, is there a working way two use two finger s rolling on a synaptic pad? | 11:39 |
| soundray | ed0n0n: see if you can resolve those with the two commands I gave you above | 11:39 |
| zvacet | loquitus_of_borg : in terminal cat /etc/apt/sources.list and paste it here | 11:39 |
| loquitus_of_borg | bazhang: from the current sources or before I replaced all the stuff with old-releases? | 11:39 |
| \|\|raith | hey does anyone know, is there a way to install from repositories saved on hard disk instead of cdrom or internet? ie: an iso file perhaps? | 11:39 |

| _gAri- | hi there, if I apt-get source the kernel source, where do I find the configuration that ubuntu uses to configure the kernel? | 11:40 |
| soundray | pulseezar: see if you can narrow down the source of the problem with the advice in the factoid | 11:40 |
| bazhang | _gAri-, why would you want to do that | 11:40 |
| loquitus_of_borg | zvacet and bazhang: that's what it looks like after the search and replace I did based on zvacet's instructions | 11:40 |
| cr0w | Hi !! I have used wine in order to emulate a program, now l' I have removed but in programs it is remained the connection like is removed? | 11:40 |

| cr0w | Hi !! I have used wine in order to emulate a program, now l' I have removed but in programs it is remained the connection like is removed? | 11:41 |
| izzy_ | Hi folks, I got a serious problem with the nvidia drivers after upgrading to Hardy (X crashes - see http://paste.ubuntu.com/29921/). Somebody here who can assist me getting it fixed? | 11:41 |
| bazhang | cr0w, dont repeat so often | 11:41 |
| unop | \|\|raith, which iso is it? | 11:41 |
| cr0w | ok | 11:41 |
| ed0n0n | marius2: what do you mean with 2 or 3 fingers? | 11:42 |
| cr0w | but you help me :D | 11:42 |
| \|\|raith | I'm in the process of downloading iso files for a 5 dvd set of full repositories from some ftp in indonesia | 11:42 |
| bazhang | izzy_, how were they initially installed | 11:42 |
| unop | \|\|raith, http://tinyurl.com/56xqne | 11:42 |
| pulseezar | haha that was sos simple | 11:42 |
| marius2 | look here in this (max os x) tutorial http://forum.insanelymac.com/index.php?showtopic=88811&pid=650640&mode=threaded&start= | 11:42 |
| \|\|raith | for 8.04 that is | 11:42 |
| pulseezar | thanks for the pointers! | 11:42 |
| bazhang | np | 11:43 |
| evgeny_ | how do i install wine | 11:43 |
| soundray | pulseezar: volume setting low? :) | 11:43 |
| PucKid | evgeny_: sudo apt-get install wine | 11:43 |
| izzy_ | bazhang: Originally under feisty. I did a dist-upgrade to gutsy and then hardy. All was still fine in gutsy. | 11:43 |
| evgeny_ | sudo apt-get install wine? | 11:43 |
| evgeny_ | yay | 11:43 |
| unop | \|\|raith, you'll have to mount the iso files somewhere and use a local apt repo. | 11:43 |
| ed0n0n | evgeny_: sudo apt-get install wine | 11:43 |
| evgeny_ | i guessed it :) | 11:43 |
| PucKid | (: yeah you did | 11:43 |
| PucKid | btw hi everyone (: | 11:43 |
| bazhang | izzy_, you want to roll back to the gutsy install? is that it? | 11:43 |
| soundray | marius2: that document seems to support what I told you | 11:44 |
| evgeny_ | do i need an antivirus | 11:44 |
| evgeny_ | or firewall | 11:44 |
| izzy_ | bazhang - no, I want to get it fixed in hardy. | 11:44 |
| bazhang | evgeny_, not really no | 11:44 |
| loquitus_of_borg | zvacet: did you get the pastebin for my sources? | 11:44 |
| cr0w | I have used wine in order to emulate a program, now l' I have removed but in programs it is remained the connection like is removed? | 11:44 |
| evgeny_ | what programs would u suggest? | 11:44 |
| bazhang | izzy_, you want to patch a kernel for hardy? | 11:44 |
| loquitus_of_borg | bazhang: I am doing the apt-get update as you said... I changed all edgy to feisty | 11:44 |
| ed0n0n | evgeny_: firewall: Have you got a Router? | 11:44 |
| marius2 | soundray, yes "scrolling working on MOST laptop trackpads, Works with most ALPS and Synaptics trackpads", my trackpad is a synaptics | 11:44 |
| soundray | cr0w: if repeating doesn't help, try rephrasing | 11:44 |
| PucKid | evgeny_: i'm not using an antivirus nor a firewall (: | 11:44 |
| evgeny_ | IM GONNA HACK U MUAHAHA | 11:45 |
| izzy_ | bazhang: I just want to fix up the issue. Latest updates have been installed. | 11:45 |
| bazhang | caps evgeny_ and offtopic | 11:45 |
| PucKid | evgeny_: you do that (: | 11:45 |
| soundray | marius2: note 'most' means the same as 'not all' | 11:45 |
| evgeny_ | lol | 11:45 |
| ikonia | izzy_: can you give us a quick overview to the issue | 11:45 |
| marius2 | soundray, es sure, becaus of that i ask for experiance or a good tutorial :) | 11:45 |
| evgeny_ | oh yea how do i get KDE and gnome at the same time | 11:45 |
| bazhang | loquitus_of_borg, when that is updated then sudo apt-get dist-upgrade | 11:45 |
| izzy_ | ikonia: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/xorg/+bug/250891 | 11:46 |

| ed0n0n | evgeny_: first time linux? | 11:46 |
| _gAri- | why everybody asks me why do I want that | 11:46 |
| izzy_ | I posted the bug 2 days ago, but still got no response. | 11:46 |
| evgeny_ | Yes siR | 11:46 |
| soundray | marius2: Ubuntu supported two-finger scrolling out-of-the box on my laptop | 11:46 |
| ekow | can someone tell me if there is a widescreen option, and where? my res looks fine but my login screen and top taskbar don't fill the whole screen. | 11:46 |
| _gAri- | I want to, why is this a problem? | 11:46 |
| bazhang | _gAri-, for speed increase? something like that? | 11:46 |
| loquitus_of_borg | bazhang: with the feisty replacement, I tried apt-get update and got the following output: http://pastebin.com/m60568f17 | 11:46 |
| marius2 | soundray, ah ok | 11:46 |
| evgeny_ | well at least i got it installed on my first day without WUbi | 11:46 |
| _gAri- | no, to put some patches in, but I want to preserve the ubuntu way of modules and so on | 11:47 |
| unop | evgeny_, you can't run them at the same time - but you can have both installed and choose between them at logon. | 11:47 |
| bazhang | loquitus_of_borg, please pastebin the sources.list as of now to paste.ubuntu.com | 11:47 |
| izzy_ | ikonia: It could have to do with the upgrade not cleanly removing some conflicting packages (see the "un" in the launchpad description) | 11:47 |
| soundray | _gAri-: it's a matter of experience -- most people who *think* they need to recompile don't *actually need* to | 11:47 |
| unop | evgeny_, to install them both, open up a terminal and run this command. sudo aptitude install ubuntu-dekstop kubuntu-dekstop | 11:47 |
| loquitus_of_borg | bazhang: http://paste.ubuntu.com/29927/ | 11:47 |

| snake007uk | guys I have tried to use some of the dbus scripts to rotate my cube effect from the command line but none of them seem to work any ideas if I am missing a package? | 11:48 |
| ikonia | izzy_: well a few things spring to mind 1.) your using an nvidia binary driver as I see - thats nothing to do with ubuntu, ubuntu can't effect that. 2.) there is not much info (technically) in that bug report 3.) your approach to logging the bug (constantly asking for updates - eg: is anyone reading this) is not going to get you very far. | 11:48 |
| evgeny_ | unop - and where will i be able to choose which one to use? | 11:48 |
| ActionParsnip | snake007uk: I'd head into #compiz | 11:48 |
| unop | evgeny_, at the logon screen - select session and choose the one you want to run | 11:48 |
| snake007uk | ActionParsnip: ok :) | 11:48 |
| ekow | can someone tell me if there is a widescreen option, and where? my res looks fine but my login screen and top taskbar don't fill the whole screen. | 11:48 |
| evgeny_ | thank you sir | 11:49 |
| unop | yw | 11:49 |
| ActionParsnip | ekow: what graphics card do you have? | 11:49 |
| izzy_ | ikonia: So what information is missing? I gave a lot of technical details there - and the one post you mention has just been a single one since there was no response at all. | 11:49 |
| bazhang | loquitus_of_borg, you have breezy and dapper sources in there as well as some third party repos. | 11:49 |
| ed0n0n | ekow: have you used your screen's wheels? | 11:49 |
| _gAri- | soundray: thank you, I tought there is some package containing all the configurations for different purpose kernels, just like in debian. but this is also fine thanks! | 11:49 |
| romme | which email client with IMAP IDLE support can you recommend? | 11:49 |
| \|\|raith | ok heres another question, I'm having problems getting my linksys wusb54gv4 wireless adapter to work correctly. it'll connect to the router but data only seems to flow in small spurts or not at all. is it just a setting I need to adjust or do I need ndiswrapper and a different driver? | 11:50 |
| ed0n0n | romme: thunderbird | 11:50 |
| tphilosopher | Hey guys. Does anyone know if a file can have multiple owners? | 11:50 |
| izzy_ | ikonia: The binary driver was offered by Ubuntu that time (it was asking me to install it) | 11:50 |
| soundray | _gAri-: every special-purpose kernel package contains that file, too | 11:50 |
| loquitus_of_borg | bazhang: once again pardon my newbieness... what do I do to this thing to fix it? | 11:50 |
| loquitus_of_borg | sources.list, that is | 11:50 |
| nooga | is reiserfs good for raid? | 11:50 |
| bazhang | loquitus_of_borg, best to back up and do a fresh install at this point as soundray recommended; it is a miracle that your computer is still running. | 11:50 |
| romme | ed0n0n: thanks, anything else? | 11:50 |
| ActionParsnip | tphilosopher: no but a group can own it | 11:50 |
| cr0w | ok i have resolved .. i have used Kcontrol soundray ;) | 11:50 |
| loquitus_of_borg | bazhang: can I just delete the lines that are a problem? | 11:50 |
| _gAri- | soundray: I just apt-get source-d the newest kernel and I didnt find the .config in the root of the dir | 11:50 |
| tphilosopher | ActionParsnip: Okay, thanks. | 11:50 |
| ed0n0n | romme: evolution? | 11:50 |
| soundray | !yay | cr0w | 11:50 |
| ubottu | cr0w: Glad you made it! :-) | 11:50 |
| loquitus_of_borg | I'd like to try... | 11:50 |
| ed0n0n | romme: sudo apt-cache search IMAP | 11:51 |
| unop | loquitus_of_borg, comment out the dapper and breezy repos | 11:51 |
| romme | ed0n0n: evolution does not support imap idle, i've tried it and the devs told me the same | 11:51 |
| ikonia | izzy_: your missing a.) is it 32bit or 64bit b.) what the current version of the running kernel is c.) what the current xorg package versions are d.) what nvidia package you have installed (the driver offered by ubuntu is the nvidia binary package from nvidia.com - it's nothing to do with ubuntu, its closed source) your missing your xorg log file | 11:51 |
| soundray | !kernelcompile > _gAri-, you may find the information behind these links useful | 11:51 |
| ubottu | _gAri-,, please see my private message | 11:51 |
| bazhang | loquitus_of_borg, with all those third party (and breezy! and dapper) repos who knows what is waiting to break. | 11:51 |
| cr0w | soundray i have a problem..i I do not succeed to install the GCC | 11:51 |
| ikonia | izzy_: and your one response is not helpful to a bug report "is anyone reading this" just dilutes the data | 11:51 |
| evgeny_ | unop - when i put that command, it told me that 0 packages would be installed, updated bla bla bla | 11:51 |
| soundray | cr0w: 'sudo apt-get install build-essential' will do that for you | 11:51 |
| bazhang | ed0n0n, no need for sudo with apt-cache search | 11:52 |
| cr0w | it says to me that I have already installed them but not part iroffer | 11:52 |
| izzy_ | ikonia: Let me please ask some concrete questions: 1) is the output of dpkg -l (as described there) pointing to an issue with the packaging system, and if so, what to do about this? 2) should I try to go back to the "free" driver and if so, how to achieve it best. | 11:52 |
| ekow | ActionParsnip: it's an intel 965 series or somethin, lemme go look up the actual thing | 11:52 |
| ekow | ed0n0n: i'm on a laptop, i dont think it has any external adjusters | 11:52 |
| ed0n0n | bazhang: :D it's just in case | 11:52 |
| cr0w | ok try.. | 11:52 |
| ed0n0n | ekow: graphic card? Video adapter? | 11:52 |
| unop | evgeny_, are you sure you have all the ubuntu repositories enabled? | 11:53 |
| bazhang | loquitus_of_borg, up to you; imo your system is ready to break at any time--> best to back up vital data NOW before continuing | 11:53 |
| ikonia | izzy_: dpkg -l shows you have the nvidia-glx package installed, I dont see an issue with that, that seems quite normal. 2.) if you wish to use the non-hardware acceleracted open driver change the Driver "nvidia" to "Driver "nv" in xorg.conf | 11:53 |
| bazhang | loquitus_of_borg, comment out (place # in front of) dapper, breezy, proposed, and third party repos and try again | 11:54 |
| ActionParsnip | ekow: http://www.ubuntugeek.com/fix-for-widescreen-resolutions-for-intel-display-cards-in-ubuntu-feisty.html | 11:54 |
| zvacet | http://paste.ubuntu.com/29929/ it should look like this | 11:54 |
| izzy_ | ikonia: OK, agreed to the "not helpful" post - will keep my fingers off from these :) As to your questions: 1) 32bit (despite of the AMD64 CPU) b) is to be seen by the dpkg -l output c) the latest ones (1:7.3+10ubuntu10.2) d) same source as c) | 11:54 |
| _gAri- | soundray: thank you, I'm totally new to ubuntu, used debian for a big while | 11:54 |
| cr0w | now soundray ? i have installed build-essential .. | 11:54 |
| AgentHeX | has anyone else had problems with the latest kernel update? i know it shouldn't break stuff, but i'm having problems after running the update manager. | 11:55 |
| ekow | ed0n0n: i have a Mobile Intel® 965 Express Chipset Family | 11:55 |
| \|\|raith | anyone have any ideas on my problem? | 11:55 |
| ikonia | izzy_: c.) what is the latest one - call it out in version in the bug report as "latest" can change from your time of writing | 11:55 |
| soundray | cr0w: now you have gcc installed | 11:55 |
| loquitus_of_borg | Damn... still failing on these two: Failed to fetch http://packages.medibuntu.org/dists/edgy/free/binary-i386/Packages.gz 404 Not Found [IP: 213.186.45.139 80] | 11:55 |

| izzy_ | ikonia: ("nv") - OK. But the xorg.conf was modified by the nvidia config stuff. Any hint how to get a clean one back? -- as for "latest can change": I posted the output of dpkg -l (which mentions the version number). Is that the wrong way? | 11:56 |
| zvacet | loquitus_of_borg : look source list I pasted too you | 11:56 |
| ikonia | izzy_: remove /etc/X11/xorg.conf , reboot and let xorg manage it dynamiclly | 11:57 |
| AgentHeX | post kernel update, firefox keeps asking me if i want to restore the session even when it gets closed properly. it's also slow to load, and some of my tray apps didn't load on startup. it also tells me that the Tomboy Notes app caused an error when X loads. | 11:57 |

| loquitus_of_borg | zvacet: that massively fails... I think you got something wrong in there.... | 11:59 |
| _gAri- | soundray: actually my issue is that the ps2 keyboard works fine with the ubuntu compiled kernel, but when I compile one manually, than suddenly it stops functioning. now there arent too much requirements for ps2 to work this is I'M really curious, and I repeat I made many kernels on my own | 11:59 |
| g0tcha- | anyone? | 11:59 |
| izzy_ | ikonia: Anything about the messed up packages? dpkg e.g. tells me "un nvidia-xconfig" - which is to be read as this package is (U)nknown and (N)ot installed, right? Though, the nvidia-xconfig executable exists (/usr/bin/nvidia-xconfig) | 11:59 |

| ActionParsnip | g0tcha-: vnc | 12:00 |
| nooga | what's the problem? | 12:00 |
| ikonia | izzy_: don't, remove the config file and let xorg manage it in memory | 12:00 |
| izzy_ | ikonia: Why I explicitly mention the nvidia-xconfig: According to the package information, this one conflicts with nvidia-glx which I'm using. | 12:01 |
| soundray | \|\|raith: some linux wireless drivers have sensitivity issues where Windows drivers are okay. This is a typical problem when the free drivers have been written without proprietary internal knowledge of the wireless chipset. | 12:01 |
| ikonia | izzy_: why are you using nvidia-xconfig then | 12:01 |
| ikonia | izzy_: stop using it, install nvidia-glx package, remove xorg.conf and reboot | 12:01 |
| soundray | \|\|raith: I don't like to recommend ndiswrapper, but it's sometimes suitable to work around this type of problem | 12:02 |
| durififi | bonjour à tous | 12:02 |

| ubottu | durififi: Ce canal est en anglais uniquement. Si vous avez besoin d'aide ou voulez discuter en francais, merci de rejoindre #ubuntu-fr ou #kubuntu-fr | 12:02 |
| ikonia | izzy_: unless you have reason not to, let xorg deal with it. remove nvidia-xconfig, install nvidia-glx, remove /etc/X11/xorg.conf, reboot | 12:03 |
| izzy_ | ikonia: And how to get rid of the "un" packages? When I try "apt-get remove" on them, apt simply tells me "it's not installed, so I don't remove". | 12:03 |

| izzy_ | ikonia, I will try that as soon as I'm back home on the machine (this evening). Thank you a lot for the hint and help! | 12:04 |

| ActionParsnip | yes, vncserver on server and some viewing app | 12:04 |
| ActionParsnip | g0tcha-: its not encrypted though | 12:04 |
| soundray | \|\|raith: yes, downgrading is usually a bad deal (apart from being difficult, unless you do a fresh install of an older version) | 12:04 |
| ActionParsnip | g0tcha-: you could always forward x applications | 12:04 |
| loquitus_of_borg | bazhang: it is definiutely doing something different... still doing the update... | 12:05 |
| izzy_ | ikonia, do you also have a hint on how to deal with the packages dpkg tells me are not installed, but the files still being around? | 12:05 |

| bazhang | loquitus_of_borg, when it is finished sudo apt-get dist-upgrade | 12:05 |
| g0tcha- | well, ssh is all i do now hehe | 12:05 |
| ActionParsnip | g0tcha-: yeah you can and you'll be using the apps as if you were sat at home | 12:05 |
| \|\|raith | soundray: are there any advantages to earlier versions of ubuntu? and I only do fresh installs | 12:05 |
| soundray | \|\|raith: I can't think of any concrete examples, but I think regressions with wireless drivers have occurred | 12:06 |
| AuContraire | I have been using gadmin-proftpd-0.3.0 for a while and now wondering when it will come out for 8.04 ? | 12:06 |
| soundray | \|\|raith: I'd definitely try ndiswrapper over downgrading, unless you have ethical concerns over using proprietary software | 12:07 |
| reel_ | Hi all, is there a script that ensures that my box boots with a particular version of kernel even if newer ones are installed ? One that modifies grub's menu.lst to this effect ? | 12:07 |
| ed0n0n | soundray: I'm trying to go on with the upgrade and then fix the locale stuff. Now it has appeared again I cannot "jump" I cannot kill the process of localedef. I did kill the rest of locale procs and It has continued, but I'm too close to the end to start again | 12:07 |
| AgentHeX | reel_: why not just create a custom menu.lst and overwrite the autogenerated one whenever you run the update manager? | 12:07 |
| ActionParsnip | g0tcha-: try ssh -X username@servername | 12:08 |

| ActionParsnip | C just compresses the data | 12:09 |
| unop | reel_, or use the savedefault feaure of grub | 12:09 |
| AgentHeX | cool | 12:09 |

| loquitus_of_borg | bazhang: why would it still fail on mediubuntu when those are commented out? | 12:09 |
| ed0n0n | soundray: Not at all, what is taht all about? | 12:09 |
| izzy_ | ikonia, I'm just afraid that the left-over files will cause some trouble (since the package info is talking about a conflict). I was reading about "dpkg -r -a" - but from the man pages I'm not sure what this would really do (and I don't want to break even more ;) | 12:09 |

| izzy_ | ed0n0n, you're welcome - I had that on two machines. Upgrade is through now - but still some issues left over (I don't think they have been caused by that ;) | 12:15 |
| soundray | r0wr: let's keep it in the channel, so others can chip in | 12:15 |
| r0wr | I don't understand what you are asking me, soundray | 12:15 |
| reel_ | unop, savedefault will not do the job for me. I will not select the kernel that I want to boot. I simply want grub to boot _only_ a kernel that I specified. I want hoping for a script that I could call : grub_set_script --always_boot "linux 2.6.22-15" | 12:15 |
| almostdvs | ActionParsnip: it says it's mounted but i don't see it in nautilus | 12:15 |
| g0tcha- | ActionParsnip, ok hold on | 12:15 |
| ed0n0n | izzy_: do you get the locales right after doing; sudo aptitude upgrade | 12:15 |
| san_ | r0wr: maybe this can help http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=41737 | 12:15 |

| ActionParsnip | almostdvs: you'll need to browse to it or you can now use: ln -s /mnt/passport ~/passport | 12:16 |
| unop | reel_, savedefault does just that -- at the grub menu select the kernel you would like, and grub remembers your choice from here on | 12:16 |
| bazhang | loquitus_of_borg, at this pace a fresh install will save you tons of time :) | 12:17 |
| soundray | r0wr: sorry, I take it all back | 12:17 |

| san_ | r0wr: aww i see, we are all trying :) That was all i have cuz i didn't know about ventrilo before | 12:17 |
| izzy_ | ed0n0n, see my posts there - at the end of the upgrade (the last locale generation) the process tells me all locales are up-to-date. Though, I did a final "apt-get dist-upgrade; dpkg --configure -a". Both looked like they got nothing left to do. | 12:17 |

| loquitus_of_borg | bazhang: I know i know... but you must realize the amount of stuff I have on here... I am cringing at the thought of reinstalling this... that's going to suck my life for days. is there a reason this thing is still refeerring to mediubuntu? | 12:18 |

| izzy_ | ed0n0n, but if this answers your question in a better way: I've seen no issues with the locales so far now - and I'm not simply using "C", but de_DE@UTF-8 (which, I guess, would have problems if the locales would be corrupted) | 12:18 |

| ed0n0n | izzy_: I will try your FIX after finishing updgrade, It is shouting me with lots of warnings, and will have to change the locale after. Anyway it is better than reinstalling the system. Thank you ;) | 12:20 |
| almostdvs | ActionParsnip: what should i add to fstab? | 12:20 |

| ubottu | r0wr: WINE is a compatibility layer for running Windows programs on GNU/Linux. See https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Wine for more information, and see !AppDB for application compatibility. | 12:20 |
| loquitus_of_borg | bazhang: I just did a cat on the file after having saved it. | 12:21 |
| bazhang | loquitus_of_borg, can you install stuff? | 12:21 |
| g0tcha- | anyone? how to ssh to a different port other then 22 ? | 12:21 |
| izzy_ | ed0n0n, you're welcome. -- btw: I missed the start of your thread. You are doing a dist-upgrade from gutsy? The locales have been setup before? | 12:21 |
| loquitus_of_borg | give me an example of something to install | 12:21 |

| ActionParsnip | almostdvs: at the end add | 12:22 |
| r0wr | ActionParsnip: I have the program running and what not. I am connected to the server I want to be in. The only problem is getting sound out from the other end | 12:22 |
| \|\|raith | anyone here recommend easyubuntu or automatix for hardy? | 12:22 |
| unop | reel_, actually .. as per man update-grub it ought to be updatedefaultentry=true to have grub remember your choice when a new kernel is installed | 12:22 |
| ActionParsnip | almostdvs: /dev/sdb1/mnt/passportvfatdefaults0 0 | 12:22 |
| elkbuntu | you dont need those anymore, \| | 12:23 |
| loquitus_of_borg | bazhang: yep... I installed nasm just now. with apt-get install nasm | 12:23 |
| soundray | \|\|raith: wherever you have those from is very outdated | 12:23 |
| ActionParsnip | r0wr: then i have no idea man, sorry | 12:23 |
| unop | !automatix | \|\|raith | 12:23 |
| ubottu | \|\|raith: Automatix is no longer developed or supported by its creators and is not recommended, supported or needed by Ubuntu. See http://mjg59.livejournal.com/77440.html and « /msg ubotu WorksForMe » | 12:23 |
| ActionParsnip | r0wr: you could fine a linux alternative | 12:23 |
| reel_ | unop, I see, okay. | 12:23 |
| bazhang | loquitus_of_borg, install pastebinit then cat /etc/apt/sources.list | pastebinit | 12:23 |
| r0wr | ActionParsnip: that will connect to another Ventrilo Server? | 12:23 |
| \|\|raith | yeah thats what I get for searching forums and not looking at the dates | 12:23 |
| g0tcha- | ActionParsnip, if my ssh port is 515, how can i use the ssh command to ssh using that port? | 12:23 |
| soundray | \|\|raith: :) | 12:23 |
| izzy_ | ed0n0n, so expect they will work as well after the next reboot - provided the upgrade ran through (ignore the warnings for locales there - especially if you removed the execute bit from locale-gen to speed up the process), and the two final steps (apt-get dist-upgrade; dpkg --configure -a) have been applied after reboot *in a console window BEFORE logging in to X*. | 12:24 |
| |MUSE| | please could someone tell me how DeVeDe works? What is the differences to a Video DVD, VideoCD, Super VideoCD, CVD. Also does it convert to the correct formats? | 12:24 |
| san_ | <\|\|raith> too complicated to type xD | 12:24 |
| soundray | g0tcha-: ssh -p 515 user@host | 12:24 |
| soundray | g0tcha-: man ssh | 12:24 |
| g0tcha- | thanks | 12:24 |
| reel_ | unop, is it updatedefault=true or updatedefaultentry = true. Man page of update-grub says the former. | 12:24 |
| ActionParsnip | g0tcha-: ssh -X username@servername:515 | 12:25 |
| ActionParsnip | log in as normal then run apps :D | 12:25 |
| loquitus_of_borg | bazhang: cat /etc/apt/sources.list | pastebinit does not work... what do I do to use it? | 12:25 |
| ed0n0n | izzy_: Than you so much, You have saved me lots of time! :D :D :D | 12:25 |
| ActionParsnip | youmay want to use & on the end so you get control of your session back | 12:25 |
| san_ | <|MUSE|> what about googling a Devede manual or faq ? | 12:25 |
| soundray | |MUSE|: this may not be the best forum for asking this. I would start at Wikipedia | 12:25 |
| bazhang | loquitus_of_borg, you installed pastebinit? sudo apt-get install pastebinit | 12:26 |
| |MUSE| | ok will do, again ;) | 12:26 |
| \|\|raith | anyone here run windows under linux and do you recommend virtualbox, vmware, etc? | 12:26 |
| izzy_ | ed0n0n, I hope so :-) Don't forget to set the execute bit back to locale-gen *before* you reboot ;) | 12:26 |
| loquitus_of_borg | bazhang: yah already installed that | 12:26 |
| bazhang | \|\|raith, virtualbox | 12:26 |
| soundray | !virtualization | \|\|raith | 12:26 |
| ActionParsnip | g0tcha-: http://gentoo-wiki.com/HOWTO_X-forwarding | 12:26 |
| ubottu | \|\|raith: There are several solutions for running other operating systems (or their programs) inside Ubuntu, while using the native CPU as much as possible: !kvm is the preferred approach in Ubuntu. See also !QEmu (with !KQemu), !VirtualBox, !VMWare, as well as !WINE and !Cedega for Windows applications | 12:26 |
| jameslr | \|\|raith: VMWare is what I use. It's pretty good. | 12:26 |
| bazhang | loquitus_of_borg, you do it in the terminal and there is a url there to paste here | 12:27 |
| ed0n0n | izzy_: how do I put that bit back? | 12:27 |
| \|\|raith | jameslr: how does it compare with kvm? | 12:27 |
| unop | reel_, sorry updatedefault | 12:27 |
| ztec | hi | 12:27 |
| bazhang | hi ztec | 12:27 |
| soundray | \|\|raith: it's proprietary | 12:27 |
| jameslr | \|\|raith: I've never used KVM | 12:28 |
| \|\|raith | ubottu: why is kvm preferred over the others? | 12:28 |
| ztec | some one can help me about samba problem | 12:28 |
| izzy_ | ed0n0n, this question lets me assume you did not remove it - so don't bother :) I did that since I did not want to wait 2 hours for each locale (not) being generated. | 12:28 |
| loquitus_of_borg | bazhang: you sure that is the syntax? I tried that and it said: usage: /usr/bin/pastebinit [filename|-] [URL] | 12:28 |
| loquitus_of_borg | Default pastebin: http://paste.stgraber.org | 12:28 |
| loquitus_of_borg | Version: 0.6 | 12:28 |
| ztec | I don't arive to get de right config for one thing | 12:28 |
| Pici | \|\|raith: ubottu is a bot, its not going to answer you | 12:28 |

| Greyscale | jameslr, which of the vmware products was it that provided Unity for linux? | 12:28 |

| Greyscale | Workstation? Server? | 12:28 |
| \|\|raith | I ask because I'd like to eventually stop multibooting and just run xp under linux for those applications that ubuntu doesnt have | 12:29 |
| loquitus_of_borg | bazhang: http://paste.stgraber.org/14382 | 12:29 |
| jameslr | Greyscale: VMWare Workstation I think | 12:29 |
| zizou03 | Why not consider wine instead? | 12:29 |
| Greyscale | zizou03, because even with 'Platinum' apps, it carks it | 12:29 |
| Greyscale | example: Dreamweaver runs one, then never again | 12:29 |
| loquitus_of_borg | ActionParsnip: I didn't use the full path. that's what it out put | 12:30 |
| izzy_ | ed0n0n, and btw - it was not locale-gen but /usr/bin/localedef I changed - sorry for confusion. | 12:30 |
| ActionParsnip | dreamweaver runs under cedega / crossover | 12:30 |
| zizou03 | Yea, that's not really what you want :p Work better on my mac though.. Not that I ever tried dreamweaver | 12:30 |

| bazhang | loquitus_of_borg, what does sudo apt-get update return now? be sure there is not another sources.list (.d) in that path | 12:30 |
| Greyscale | used that once, hated it | 12:31 |
| ed0n0n | izzy_: upgrade has run "dpkg --configure -a" by itself | 12:31 |
| izzy_ | ed0n0n, OK - than you should be done. Good luck with the boot - and hopefully everything is allright now! | 12:31 |
| ActionParsnip | Greyscale: thing is there are many alternatives instead of running windows apps in wine etc | 12:31 |
| loquitus_of_borg | bazhang: there is a sources.list.d directory in /etc/apt... should I get rid of it? | 12:32 |

| ActionParsnip | g0tcha-: you forwarding X to a windows system? | 12:32 |
| Greyscale | closed drivers are annoying though, because they break easilly. | 12:32 |
| ActionParsnip | Greyscale: fair point. I tend to use fully open stuff but im not a big system user | 12:33 |
| loquitus_of_borg | bazhang: ok... no errors I think. just two W's... saying some duplicate sources.list stuff. | 12:33 |
| loquitus_of_borg | bazhang: now what | 12:33 |
| izzy_ | ed0n0n, some day you will have to :) Honestly: The dist-upgrade brought you a newer kernel, an updated X and whatever else is loaded. To use the new kernel and X, you will need to reboot. Whether you want to do that now is up to you. It's not a bad idea, though ;) | 12:34 |
| bazhang | sudo apt-get dist-upgrade loquitus_of_borg | 12:34 |

| loquitus_of_borg | bazhang: this might take a while... what will that last command do? will it get me to feisty? | 12:35 |
| Greyscale | ActionParsnip, Office 07's UI is better, I think. C'mon opensource, fire up the idea stealing machine for max win! :D | 12:35 |
| bazhang | loquitus_of_borg, with luck yes | 12:35 |
| ActionParsnip | Greyscale: I use webmail so i dont download any nasties to my system | 12:36 |
| Greyscale | If an idea is good, take it. If a company makes a better car, we buy it. If a country has better food, we copy it. :P | 12:36 |
| ActionParsnip | Greyscale: plus I can access my emails anywhere | 12:36 |
| loquitus_of_borg | bazhang: and then I do the same kind of thing to get to the next rung in the ladder? | 12:36 |
| ed0n0n | izzy_: I thought it was because things for you were easy/Izzy | 12:36 |
| Greyscale | ActionParsnip, I like having a local copy. I'm wierd. | 12:36 |
| g0tcha- | ActionParsnip, thanks | 12:36 |
| Greyscale | I still can grab my mail anywhere via either RDP or squirrelmail :P | 12:36 |
| bazhang | loquitus_of_borg, next step will be much easier | 12:36 |
| \|\|raith | alright I'm off to bed, thanx for the help guys, I'm sure you'll see me again | 12:36 |
| ActionParsnip | Greyscale: again, thats how you like it. I'm always online so to me it appears local | 12:36 |
| loquitus_of_borg | bazhang: as in that command i just issued will be the last of edgy... or do i need to do something more to get feisty? | 12:36 |
| izzy_ | ed0n0n, would be great if that applied to the two problems I'm left with after the upgrade... | 12:36 |
| bazhang | loquitus_of_borg, that will bring feisty, planet alignment willing | 12:37 |
| Greyscale | I figure I'll get vmware because I currently RDP into a windows machine to do things that I can't under linux. | 12:37 |
| loquitus_of_borg | bazhang: aren't we positive :) | 12:37 |
| loquitus_of_borg | bazhang: easier why? | 12:37 |
| soundray | Greyscale: it doesn't seem like you need support? | 12:37 |
| bazhang | !equivalents | Greyscale check here | 12:37 |
| ubottu | Greyscale check here: A comprehensive list of of Windows-equivalent applications in Linux can be found at http://www.linuxrsp.ru/win-lin-soft/table-eng.html and https://wiki.ubuntu.com/WhatWindowsUsersWant | 12:37 |
| ed0n0n | izzy_: at least you were able to fix them by yourself, I could'nt even get trough the upgrade | 12:37 |
| loquitus_of_borg | bazhang: I suppose I am trying to be optimistic that linux can be upgraded while those idiots in Redmond have no idea what an upgrade is. | 12:38 |
| ActionParsnip | Greyscale: i can do everything natively in linux, chat, browse, amarok + XUL remote, pidgin and Urban terror | 12:38 |
| loquitus_of_borg | other than changing people hundreds of dollars for one | 12:38 |
| izzy_ | ed0n0n, you are talking about another problem *with* the upgrade - I'm talking about 2 problems left *after* the upgrade... | 12:38 |
| bazhang | loquitus_of_borg, most of this trouble is your adding various thirdy party and very olde version repo sources. | 12:38 |
| Tm_T | loquitus_of_borg: keep your language in nice tone ;) | 12:39 |
| Greyscale | I could too, ActionParsnip, but I think in some cases, windows apps do it better. Getting these to work under wine painlessly would be epic win | 12:39 |
| AgentHeX | post kernel update, some of my apps are acting strange. Tomboy Notes app caused an error when X loads and none of my tray apps load on startup (including the network manager). firefox keeps asking me if i want to restore the session even when it gets closed properly. it's also slow to load, and my bookmarks are gone. HELP! | 12:39 |
| loquitus_of_borg | bazhang: if something breaks then, will it be something very critical, or some third party thing I added, you guess? | 12:39 |
| ActionParsnip | Greyscale: indeed, the wine guys work hard | 12:39 |
| refa_cUt3 | refa_cUt3 | 12:39 |
| bazhang | loquitus_of_borg, likely both at this point; which why I say backup NOW before taking this step. | 12:39 |
| Greyscale | I wonder if anyone got Office 2007 to install under it.. | 12:39 |
| ed0n0n | izzy_: I will see wich problems I get *after* upgrade, if my poor laptop restarts... It's got stuck in the end of the orange bar | 12:40 |
| Greyscale | Dreamweaver + Office 2007 and I'd be set. | 12:40 |
| ATA_Dark_Shadow | greetings, how do i configure tftp-hda? where lies it config file under ubuntu? i cant seem to find it. | 12:40 |
| izzy_ | ed0n0n, 1: some issues with hal (plug-in some USB stick, try to mount it with the graphical interface - e.g. Konqueror - and see a message that it failed. Mount it manually (as user even), and it works). | 12:40 |
| _gAri- | is there any pax enabled ubuntu kernel? | 12:40 |
| Greyscale | And iTunes. | 12:40 |
| ActionParsnip | Greyscale: i use abiword only. I dont make spreadsheets or databases or anythng | 12:40 |
| loquitus_of_borg | bazhang: worst case scenario and this fails... can't i get my data still if I boot a linux cd and mount the root partition? or will this nuke my data (potentially) if it fails? | 12:40 |
| * ActionParsnip spits at itunes | 12:40 | |
| bazhang | Greyscale, getting pretty far offtopic here | 12:40 |
| Greyscale | bazhang, Computing using proprietary software under wine ontop of Ubuntu | 12:41 |
| izzy_ | ed0n0n, you've seem to hit #2 - wait about 20..30 sec, it probably starts then. | 12:41 |
| ActionParsnip | Greyscale: technically this is a support channel | 12:41 |
| bazhang | loquitus_of_borg, no idea as those should have broken your system long before. | 12:41 |
| ed0n0n | izzy: it is hanged up, cannot even ALT+CTRL+F1 | 12:42 |
| bazhang | Greyscale, support not chat. | 12:42 |
| izzy_ | ed0n0n, After the orange bar, I get a black screen for 20..30 seconds (with the last boot message). When I already think all is broken, X comes up. As soon as I log out, X crashes - and nothing helps but a reboot. | 12:42 |
| soundray | loquitus_of_borg: remember the old adage, data you haven't backed up is data you don't want | 12:42 |
| coz_ | soundray, sound advice | 12:42 |
| coz_ | soundray, or if I cannot install at any given moment I am doing something wrong | 12:42 |
| loquitus_of_borg | soundray: I agree. sound advice. my quesiton still stands. can an upgrade make my data inaccessible? I thought that I could always boot a linux cd and mount the ext3 drive, in the worst case scenario. | 12:43 |
| loquitus_of_borg | knowing this does not mean I will take stupid chances, of course. | 12:43 |
| bazhang | loquitus_of_borg, only way to know is try; we have asked you to upgrade, so fair warning | 12:43 |
| soundray | loquitus_of_borg: probably, yes. There are operations, however, that can make your partitions inaccessible if there's e.g. a power cut at precisely the wrong moment | 12:44 |
| soundray | loquitus_of_borg: like partition resizing | 12:44 |
| lalala | Installed ubuntu today, and everything works great... then suddenly after 3-4 hours the audio is gone...any educated guesses what has happened? | 12:44 |

| Starcraftmazter | Hello, how can I take a screenshot, when I have a menu open? Say a firefox bookmark menu, or a ubuntu menu from the top | 12:44 |
| loquitus_of_borg | bazhang: I intend to do so actually before I go through with this... again... the reason I ask all this is so I understand better. | 12:44 |
| izzy_ | ed0n0n, good luck! Let me know what happens :) | 12:45 |
| ActionParsnip | lalala: try: sudo apt-get update; sudo apt-get upgrade | 12:45 |
| loquitus_of_borg | I am trying to realize here if it is even possible for a software update to make my drive inaccessiable. I don't see that being possible. | 12:45 |
| ed0n0n | izzy_: All [OK] !! | 12:45 |
| Twinkletoes|W | I foolishly deleted the contents of /var/cache, but now apt-get is refusing to run because of missing directories and files etc. Is there a way of telling apt-get to re-init? | 12:45 |

| loquitus_of_borg | bazhang: I ask this since I won't do this right away and might want to know, assuming the planets align | 12:47 |
| soundray | Starcraftmazter: I see. Try xwd with the -root option. You can add a delay to give you time to open the menu. E.g. 'sleep 3 ; xwd -root >screenshot.xwd' | 12:47 |
| ActionParsnip | CarlFK: can you get any network connectivity from any interface? | 12:47 |
| izzy_ | ed0n0n, maybe I pass you the recommendation ikonia gave me: remove (or better rename) the /etc/X11/xorg.conf and startup without it (to let X manage its configuration dynamically). For me it was nVidia adapters that cause trouble. | 12:48 |
| CarlFK | ActionParsnip: yes - I am sshed into the box over a usb-wifi stick. the Atheros is the built in | 12:48 |
| soundray | Starcraftmazter: you will have to convert the .xwd file to something more common, like png, with the Gimp or similar | 12:48 |
| ActionParsnip | CarlFK: can you get system updates? | 12:48 |
| ed0n0n | izzy_: I will right now, and then reboot | 12:48 |

| ndo | :) | 13:00 |
| jameslr | ndo: I think Mac can read NTFS no probs, not sure about writing to it | 13:00 |
| ActionParsnip | Vezir: you need to edit xorg.conf to get the resolutions | 13:00 |
| TiredWolf | ndo: well i'm not really sure, mac os has a BSD core so perhaps ext3 is even available natively, i haven't the slighest idea really. but i think it really has to be readily available given all the posixness | 13:00 |
| ed0n0n | izzy_: Restricted for now. Once it works, will go back to glx | 13:00 |
| jameslr | ndo: I think it does support writes though. Why must you be able to write with all 3 OSes? | 13:00 |
| izzy_ | ndo, MacOS is AFAIK based on some BSD variant. You may check if ntfs-3g is available there as well. | 13:01 |

| izzy_ | ed0n0n, ok - sounds reasonable. At least worked in previous versions of Ubuntu. With a fresh install of the driver, you should have luck. | 13:02 |

| Viper111 | C complier cannt create excutables??? | 13:12 |
| The-Compiler | !ask | insomniac_ | 13:12 |
| AuContraire | insomniac_: sure... go ahead | 13:12 |
| ubottu | insomniac_: Please don't ask to ask a question, ask the question (all on ONE line, so others can read and follow it easily). If anyone knows the answer they will most likely answer. :-) | 13:12 |

| izzy_ | ed0n0n, sounds good! | 13:12 |
| cr0w | for the nickserv ...the command for autoidentify in the iroffer for the configuration rows..which it is ? | 13:12 |
| genik | hi, is it possible to hide your IP here | 13:12 |
| TiredWolf | !cloak | genik | 13:12 |
| ubottu | genik: Many Ubuntu IRC channels prohibit access from !proxies such as !TOR due to a high level of abuse. You can however obtain a hostmask cloak: see http://freenode.net/faq.shtml#cloaks | 13:12 |
| TiredWolf | genik: (ask in #freenode for details) | 13:13 |
| Pici | cr0w: I'm not sure I understand your question, but it differs from one irc network to the enxt. | 13:14 |
| === genik is now known as genikru1988 | ||
| cr0w | pici ? | 13:14 |
| Pici | cr0w: *to the next | 13:14 |
| TiredWolf | !identify | cr0w | 13:14 |
| ubottu | cr0w: You can identify automatically by using your NickServ password as the server password in your IRC client. When identifying manually, do NOT send the command from a channel's tab, or a typo may give away your password. If that happened, type « /msg NickServ set password <new-password> » in the server tab as soon as possible. | 13:14 |
| cr0w | i have a problem with a iroffer configuration | 13:15 |
| ndo | i guess best solution would be NTFS, i can setup ntfs3g on both systems (osx and ubuntu), and if go somewhere in most cases it will be m$. | 13:15 |

| erlend_ | ActionParsnip: ok, update on my audio problem... thought the problem was no audio, but when ppl log in and out of msn, I still get the sound. So no sound in browser, and in none of the audio-programs is the new problem :S | 13:17 |
| ksvladimir | Is there any way to determine current power consumption on a laptop with amd processor ? | 13:17 |
| gjut | jameslr: is that the same as xmms2? | 13:17 |
| jameslr | gjut: yep | 13:17 |
| gjut | ok. got a bit confused there | 13:17 |
| gjut | The setup is for my dad, 78 yrs | 13:18 |
| ActionParsnip | erlend_: then modify the audio device they use | 13:18 |
| genikru | p | 13:18 |
| jameslr | gjut: you could upgrade his memory :P | 13:18 |
| gjut | LOL | 13:18 |
| ndo | hmm, is it possible to use UDF on an HD, anyone?:) | 13:18 |
| gjut | yeah, he won't remember it | 13:18 |
| === asdfsad is now known as kinoz | ||
| jameslr | ndo: UDF?? isn't that packet writing for CDs? | 13:19 |
| ndo | jameslr: yes, something to do with cd's:) | 13:19 |
| jameslr | ndo: I doubt it. | 13:19 |
| erlend_ | what's the command to list all running processes? | 13:19 |
| ActionParsnip | !udf | 13:19 |
| ubottu | Sorry, I don't know anything about udf | 13:19 |
| ActionParsnip | !info udf | 13:19 |
| ubottu | Package udf does not exist in hardy | 13:19 |
| san_ | jeje | 13:20 |
| gjut | will it support mp3 out-of-the-box? | 13:20 |
| TiredWolf | erlend_: ps | 13:20 |
| erlend_ | TiredWolf: ty | 13:20 |
| TiredWolf | erlend_: ps aux will list all processes in a detailed way, or you can use top | 13:20 |
| jameslr | gjut: get the gstreamer or pulse audio plugins for it and it should. | 13:20 |
| ActionParsnip | gjut: you'll need to install the decoder | 13:20 |
| ndo | jameslr: as i tough :) | 13:20 |
| gjut | from synaptic? | 13:21 |
| ZeroA4 | gjut, install Ubuntu Restrited Extras should do | 13:21 |
| oiaohm | UDF is a common format. | 13:21 |
| jameslr | ndo: there's no perfect solution for you. NTFS is a hack | 13:21 |
| oiaohm | Found on dvd and larger. | 13:21 |
| gjut | Hi, ActionParsnip | 13:21 |
| ActionParsnip | hi gjut | 13:21 |
| plast1k | hi | 13:21 |
| ndo | jameslr: yep:) | 13:21 |
| The-Compiler | hi plast1k | 13:21 |
| erlend_ | ActionParsnip: working well now, was a hidden program that conflicted with the audio =) | 13:22 |
| jameslr | ndo: ideally there would be a filesystem that is independent of the operating system that is supported on all operating systems. *NEVER* going to happen... | 13:22 |
| jameslr | because every OS vendor thinks theirs is the best. | 13:22 |
| ActionParsnip | erlend_: sweet move :D | 13:22 |
| ActionParsnip | erlend_: id have rebooted to see if it sorted it out before trying stuff | 13:23 |
| jameslr | Linux has ext, Mac has UFS/HFS, Windoze has NTFS... | 13:23 |
| erlend_ | ActionParsnip: will do, later =) | 13:23 |
| ndo | jameslr: usually there is one, kind of FAT32 ;) but.. lilbit to old for now | 13:23 |
| The-Compiler | jameslr: there are ext-drivers for windows tho | 13:23 |
| Luhta | Does anyone know if there is an another driver besides 177.13 that supports the Geforce 280 GTX? the existing one seems to be the cause of stability problems | 13:23 |
| gjut | and for wmv video files, what is the codec? | 13:23 |
| jameslr | The-Compiler: yes, but they're all hacks. Not supported by the OS officially. | 13:23 |
| ActionParsnip | geforce 280GTX? | 13:24 |
| Luhta | yes | 13:24 |
| ActionParsnip | just checking | 13:24 |
| kindofabuzz | OT but good interview with Linus: http://www.simple-talk.com/opinion/geek-of-the-week/linus-torvalds,-geek-of-the-week/ | 13:24 |
| jameslr | ndo: the only thing I would use FAT32 on is a usb pen drive. | 13:24 |
| unop | i would still use NTFS on a pen drive | 13:25 |
| ndo | jameslr: what do u mean?i mean why?:) | 13:25 |
| Luhta | unop, hmm I don't know that you'd really want to do that, suppose the power goes out, it's time to format the stick | 13:25 |
| ZeroA4 | gjut, there is some GSTreamer packs ... they have the codecs... them wmv should play on totem ... other option is VLC a player that does not need external codecs to play wmv | 13:25 |
| Luhta | Does anyone know if there is an another driver besides 177.13 that supports the Geforce 280 GTX? the existing one seems to be the cause of stability problems | 13:26 |
| CShadowRun | when i click the firefox logo on gnome-panel, i get a window with the title "error", the window doesn't have any text. I have to killall gnome-panel to get my panel back. | 13:26 |
| jameslr | ndo: FAT32 is old as hell, but it still has its uses. If you don't need ACLs or security or large file support - FAT32 is a fast file system. | 13:26 |
| ActionParsnip | Luhta: id install nvidia-glx package | 13:26 |
| jameslr | good for pen drives | 13:26 |
| unop | Luhta, that's ok - i don;t really mind doing that, I keep backups | 13:26 |
| ActionParsnip | Luhta: or envyng-gtx | 13:26 |
| jameslr | journalling filesystems on a pen drive degrade their life | 13:26 |
| gjut | ZeroA4: thanks | 13:26 |
| ndo | jameslr: k:) | 13:26 |
| unop | Luhta, but like the power ever goes off here? hardly ever | 13:26 |
| Luhta | ActionParsnip, that won't work, they changed their naming scheme with the nvidia card line, it's not as old as it sounds it's actually the new one | 13:27 |

| ActionParsnip | :D | 13:27 |
| unop | Luhta, if you were asking why i'd use NTFS - it's simple, compression | 13:27 |

| Luhta | the 200 series hasn't made it into nvidia-glx-new yet | 13:28 |
| kindofabuzz | is there any advantages from using NVIDIA's driver from there site to just using ubuntu's restricted driver? | 13:28 |
| ActionParsnip | Luhta: you may have to wait a bit then | 13:29 |

| ActionParsnip | Father: yep its a broadcom. You need to install ndiswrapper | 13:41 |
| headc4se | good morning everyone | 13:41 |
| jameslr | ndo: you can't. Must have windows convert command | 13:41 |
| Father | yes | 13:41 |
| TiredWolf | !info convertfs | ndo, dangerous | 13:42 |
| moDumass | hmm, that didnt fix it, i had 2 seprate hdds from a nas mounted on my deskyop, and somehow they now are gone | 13:42 |
| ubottu | ndo, dangerous: Package convertfs does not exist in hardy | 13:42 |
| jameslr | ndo: unless you have some third party utility like Partition Magic or the like | 13:42 |
| moDumass | any ideas would be awesome | 13:42 |
| TiredWolf | uhm, it does exist afaik | 13:42 |
| izzy_ | ndo, not sure whether this can be done with gparted (you may want to check) | 13:42 |
| The-Compiler | hi headc4se (its 3 pm here tho =) | 13:42 |
| Father | ActionParsnip: thats what that ting said | 13:42 |
| headc4se | i wish it was 3pm here, means i would almost be outta work | 13:42 |

| ubottu | prymal: Error: I am only a bot, please don't think I'm intelligent :) | 13:43 |
| ActionParsnip | Father: so connect with a wire and get it sorted, then use wireless if you want | 13:43 |
| prymal | Father: have you managed to get the machine connecteD? | 13:43 |
| ndo | i expected that partition magic would do it (have hirens cd here) but i was asking myself if gparted would be able todo it :) | 13:43 |
| Father | ActionParsnip: there is one problem | 13:43 |
| ActionParsnip | ? | 13:44 |
| headc4se | ndo: are you talking about without destroying any existing data? or wiping a partition clean? | 13:44 |
| jameslr | ndo: No, gparted can't convert filesystems with data intact | 13:44 |
| izzy_ | I've got a problem with packages (see http://paste.ubuntu.com/29960/): dpgk says they are unknown and not installed - but they still seem to be there. Since some of them would conflict with other packages I use, I guess they are cause of some trouble I see. Any idea of how to clean them up? | 13:44 |
| ZeroA4 | Father, ActionParsnip i got the Broadcom 4318 wifi card from my acer working with the package b43-fwcutter... i think it mey be easier as it does not need windows drivers | 13:44 |
| ndo | ofc without destroying data:) | 13:44 |
| headc4se | haha, just checking...that does make it a bit tougher | 13:44 |
| jameslr | ndo: it can create ntfs partition though. | 13:44 |
| Father | its not my network | 13:44 |
| izzy_ | ndo, gparted (as well as qparted) are simply graphical frontends to parted | 13:44 |
| jameslr | exactly | 13:44 |
| headc4se | not sure if it matters, i'm personally a backup data and recreate partition kinda guy | 13:45 |
| Father | im pigybacking | 13:45 |
| === tolecnal_ is now known as tolecnal | ||
| ActionParsnip | Father: you should be able to use the stuff on the Ubuntu CD and the driver on your driver cd | 13:45 |
| izzy_ | ndo, I'm not sure if parted can do this - it was just the first coming to my mind ;) | 13:45 |
| jameslr | ndo: best free solution is to use a windows machine to convert it to NTFS. | 13:45 |
| ActionParsnip | Father: but you need WWW to get sorted ideally | 13:45 |

| ndo | tomb* | 13:46 |
| Father | with permission | 13:46 |
| ndo | to mb* | 13:46 |
| ActionParsnip | ndo: reformat and then restore from backup | 13:46 |
| Father | dont get me wrong im far from hacker | 13:46 |
| Ganandorf | hi goo dday is bazhang here by any chance | 13:46 |
| jameslr | ActionParsnip: that's silly. Why would he do that if he can do it live in Windows without loss of data? | 13:46 |
| Ganandorf | he was helping me last time | 13:46 |
| headc4se | ndo: i'm with Action on this one...safest way i would think | 13:47 |
| Wulfie | hey folks. I am trying to mount a mac/windows disc in Ubuntu (hardy) and it seems to be mounting the MAC image and not the windows one. Any ideas how to get that switched? | 13:47 |
| amenado | Father then you can piggyback it to the connected laptop..make the other working laptop as a gateway | 13:47 |
| ActionParsnip | jameslr: its just a suggestion | 13:47 |
| ndo | huh, easy to say, if its the biggest drive i have:) | 13:47 |
| amenado | Father as wired now, not a wireless | 13:47 |
| Father | wirless | 13:47 |
| ActionParsnip | ndo: so what if the drive failed? where can you get the data from agin? | 13:47 |
| jameslr | I'm not saying backing up your data isn't a good idea, but the convert utility in windows really is safe. I have never been failed by it. | 13:47 |
| headc4se | james: i hope your now knocking on wood | 13:48 |
| gjut | Does anyone know how to install Adobe Acrobat reader. I cannot find it in Synaptic | 13:48 |
| odinsbane | If I close a window for a program, the program keeps running but the window goes away completely. Is there a way to get it back? (the program is still running and I can get the pid) | 13:48 |
| jameslr | headc4se: no need to anymore. I haven't used convert in years. | 13:48 |
| Father | is there any way that i can get the nessary updates or plugins | 13:48 |
| jameslr | headc4se: I also never have data on a portable device that isn't duplicated on some sort of fault tolerant media | 13:48 |
| amenado | Father once more, you can piggyback to the working laptop via wired cat5 (making the working laptop as gateway), get it? | 13:48 |
| izzy_ | gjut, look for acroread | 13:49 |
| ZeroA4 | gjut, you dont realy need it... evince docment reader opens pdf | 13:49 |
| headc4se | i hope to get to that point, unfortunately, for work it seems i will always need access to windows, and some of the software i occasionally need doesn't work so hot in virtualbox | 13:49 |
| izzy_ | gjut, it is in the Medibuntu repository | 13:49 |
| Father | but i dont know how to do that | 13:49 |
| ndo | to get this data back, in case its destroyed, is not impossible, but to troublesome to risk it:) | 13:49 |

| silence_ | how can i chek 3D GRAPHIC in ubuntu? | 13:50 |
| Ganandorf | bazhang you there | 13:50 |
| gjut | ZeroA4: But will it have two pages up? | 13:50 |
| Father | you mean for me to connect directly to the laptop via cat5 then what | 13:50 |
| ZeroA4 | gjut, yes | 13:50 |
| headc4se | ahhh...i'm making my way towards linux admin i hope | 13:50 |
| silver | i have enabled special effects in preferences -> appearances now how can i 3d rotate the desktop ? | 13:50 |
| amenado | Father time to learn, there are many tutorials you can find in google, ubuntu+gateway+shared internet access | 13:50 |
| ActionParsnip | silver: enable cube in the same place | 13:51 |
| Father | ok | 13:51 |
| Ganandorf | does any one know how to get the screen savers that use compiz fusion | 13:51 |
| amenado | Father yes, then the other laptop that is able to connect wirelessly can be your gateway to the internet..it acts as router/gateway | 13:51 |
| gjut | thanks | 13:51 |
| Ganandorf | like teh rotating desktop and stuff | 13:51 |
| nosto | is there a way to have my windows partition on the same drive as my ubuntu install to mount automatically? | 13:51 |
| odinsbane | silence you can try the glx??? programs such as glxinfo, or glxgears to see if its working. | 13:51 |
| kindofabuzz | ZeroA4: should i uncheck the nvidia restricted before i install nvidia's? | 13:51 |
| Father | thank you all for all your help | 13:51 |
| ActionParsnip | Ganandorf: http://www.google.co.uk/search?num=50&hl=en&safe=off&rlz=1G1GGLQ_ENUK248&q=compiz+fusion+screen+savers&btnG=Search | 13:51 |
| silver | actionparsnip >> only 3 options none normal and extra | 13:52 |
| AgentHeX | if anyone is curious, having 0 bytes of free space on your root partition can cause all kinds of oddities with anything from the panel to firefox. | 13:52 |
| silver | where is the cube option ? | 13:52 |
| amenado | Father you're welcome, come back anytime if you get stuck on a tutorial and needs clarifications | 13:52 |
| ActionParsnip | silver: run ccsm | 13:52 |
| aliquando | Hi anyone know Xdmx, i need help? | 13:52 |
| ZeroA4 | kindofabuzz, no.... nvidia restricted IS the nvidia driver | 13:52 |
| The-Compiler | !ask aliquando | 13:52 |
| ubottu | Sorry, I don't know anything about ask aliquando | 13:52 |
| ActionParsnip | nosto: you mean you want access to your windows partition? | 13:52 |
| The-Compiler | !ask | aliquando | 13:52 |
| ubottu | aliquando: Please don't ask to ask a question, ask the question (all on ONE line, so others can read and follow it easily). If anyone knows the answer they will most likely answer. :-) | 13:52 |
| nosto | oh i have it - it is viewable but i can't just automatically use shortcuts | 13:52 |
| silver | ActionParsnip: ok doing tht | 13:52 |
| kindofabuzz | ZeroA4: I'm talking about the one from nvidia, you said for games i need that one and not the restricted | 13:53 |
| AgentHeX | silver: you need compizconfig-settings-manager and simple-ccsm | 13:53 |
| nosto | i have to go into the file system and open the C:\ (basically) before shortcuts work | 13:53 |
| aliquando | hmm ok sorry | 13:53 |
| ActionParsnip | nosto: how do you mean "shortcuts" | 13:53 |
| ZeroA4 | kindofabuzz, it is the SAME driver... just ubuntu packages it for easy installl though apt | 13:53 |
| nosto | ummmm apps on the partition that i'm using wine to run? | 13:53 |
| izzy_ | Does anybody have an idea for my packages problem posted above (and http://paste.ubuntu.com/29960/)? | 13:53 |
| nosto | like.. "links" | 13:53 |
| ActionParsnip | nosto: is it mounted? | 13:53 |
| kindofabuzz | ZeroA4: well why did you tell me that there is a difference? | 13:54 |
| cih997 | hi, has anyone resolved opera 9.51 amd64 flash crashing problem? i have ubuntu studio 8.04 amd64 | 13:54 |
| nosto | it is now - but like i have to double click the 74.5 GB Media | 13:54 |
| nosto | before i can do anything | 13:54 |
| lusepuster | jameslr, thanks, it worked (the usermod thing)! I love this community... | 13:54 |
| akaaka | hi, im a xubuntu user, but i wonder which is the spell checker that ubuntu has by default.. anyone know? cause xubuntu does not come with one | 13:54 |
| nosto | i just want that to be automatically done so I can just boot in and double click my wine apps per say | 13:54 |
| akaaka | i want to give a try | 13:54 |
| ActionParsnip | nosto: well its not mounted until you access it. If you make it automount using fstab and have it mounted in /mnt itwil always be there | 13:54 |
| ZeroA4 | kindofabuzz, the diferençe is between the nvidia (restrited closed source) driver and de NV open source (not restrited) driver | 13:54 |
| jameslr | lusepuster: sure, I told you wrong though. You might want to undo what you did and use usermod -G (uppercase matters) | 13:55 |
| lusepuster | Helo folks. My Evolution has been force quit and now it freezes at open. Any file I could remove or change to have it start normally? | 13:55 |
| lusepuster | jameslr, what is the difference? | 13:55 |
| jameslr | lusepuster: the command I gave you before will set your initial group (default group) | 13:55 |
| nosto | ok how do i do that action? | 13:55 |
| jameslr | lusepuster: to fix it just do sudo usermod -g username username | 13:55 |

| kindofabuzz | ZeroA4: ok you've lost me now, so is there a difference in the one i d/l from nvidia.com and the one ubuntu uses for the resticted? | 13:56 |
| jameslr | lusepuster: then do sudo usermod -G newgroup username | 13:56 |
| ZeroA4 | kindofabuzz, Ubuntu ships with nv driver.... but has the restried one on the repositories... just enable in on system - adminiistration - hardware drivers | 13:56 |
| ActionParsnip | nosto: is the drive ntfs formatted? | 13:56 |
| blackfail | i have a cpu that is amd 2800+ 86 has 2 kernels | 13:56 |
| lusepuster | jameslr, just curious, what is the difference? | 13:56 |
| moDumass | hey all, has anyone connected to xbmc via their ubuntu machine, because i have the dum and cannot brain | 13:56 |
| moDumass | its eating me from the inside | 13:56 |
| jameslr | lusepuster: your initial group is what is used to create new files with. | 13:56 |
| moDumass | like a chewing microwave | 13:56 |
| nosto | ok my ubuntu and windows install are both on this hard drive | 13:56 |
| blackfail | but my ubuntu 8.04 only can recognise one kernel | 13:56 |
| jameslr | lusepuster: you don't want every new file you create to be owned by the group you just added yourself to do you? | 13:56 |
| blackfail | who can help me please? | 13:57 |
| kindofabuzz | ZeroA4: oh you're just saying there is a differnece in check and non checked in restricted drivers.. well duh =) | 13:57 |
| ActionParsnip | nosto: ok, is the windows side of things formatted NTFS> | 13:57 |
| jameslr | lusepuster: the default is to use your defaut user group (same name as your user name) | 13:57 |
| nosto | windows has 74.5 GB and ubuntu the other portion | 13:57 |

| Pici | blackfail: What kernel are you using? | 13:57 |
| ActionParsnip | nosto: is it formatted NTFS? | 13:57 |

| ActionParsnip | nosto: ok if you sudo fdisk -l which /dev is the windows partition? | 13:58 |
| ZeroA4 | kindofabuzz, the driver you download from nvidia.com ie the same of nvida-glx package you find on synaptic and the get installed if you check to enabel it on hardware drivers | 13:58 |
| AgentHeX | !love | 13:58 |
| ubottu | Love is like racing across the frozen tundra on a snowmobile which flips over, trapping you underneath. At night, the ice-weasels come. | 13:58 |

| Pici | Stop playing with the bot. | 13:58 |
| blackfail | has 2 kernels | 13:58 |
| kindofabuzz | !freebird | 13:58 |
| ubottu | Sorry, I don't know anything about freebird | 13:58 |
| ZeroA4 | kindofabuzz, Just that the driver from nvidia is not package for ubuntu and you have to install it manually | 13:58 |
| silver | ActionParsnip: i install compiz settings manager and enabled desktop cube and now i cant even switch desktops ? | 13:58 |
| blackfail | but my os ubuntu 8.04 only can recognise 1 kernel | 13:58 |
| lusepuster | jameslr, you are so right! sudo usermod -g username username, then sudo usermod -G groupname username? | 13:58 |
| Pici | blackfail: I'm not sure what you mean by it can only recognise one kernel. | 13:58 |
| ZeroA4 | kindofabuzz, and of course the one from the repositories is packeaged for ubuntu | 13:58 |
| jameslr | lusepuster: correct | 13:59 |
| hz | odinsbane, thx but could u tell me if it's useful or not and if yes the link plz and thx again | 13:59 |
| nosto | /dev/sda1 | 13:59 |
| nosto | sec | 13:59 |
| nosto | /dev/sda1 * 1 9049 72686061 7 HPFS/NTFS | 13:59 |
| nosto | thats what it looks like | 13:59 |
| silver | actionparsnip: after enable cube what do i need to press to rotate the desktop ? | 13:59 |
| ActionParsnip | nosto: ok cool. sudo cp /etc/fstab /etc/fstab.old | 13:59 |
| blackfail | i cat /proc/cpuinfo | 13:59 |
| ActionParsnip | silver: ctrl+alt+drag with mouse (button 1 down) | 14:00 |
| AgentHeX | i wonder if you can run wubi.exe in wine from within ubuntu... nope. | 14:00 |
| jameslr | silver: it's usually Ctrl + Alt left and right arrow | 14:00 |
| blackfail | it shows my cpu kernel 0 | 14:00 |
| ActionParsnip | nosto: that backs up your fstab file | 14:00 |
| nosto | sudo cp /etc/fstab /etc/fstab.old | 14:00 |
| blackfail | but there in no kernel1 | 14:00 |
| nosto | right? | 14:00 |
| s_spiff | ActionParsnip: ctrl alt and the arrow keys | 14:00 |
| odinsbane | hz I don't know the link off hand just google it. I also use the win32codecs and I find that they don't always play the files as well as the rmvb player. The file is called RealPlayer11GOLD.bin | 14:00 |
| blackfail | why? | 14:00 |
| ActionParsnip | nosto: yeah | 14:00 |
| nosto | k apparently its done (didn't get any message) | 14:00 |
| ActionParsnip | nosto: good | 14:01 |
| TiredWolf | what's the choice of picture viewers in kde? you can spare me the ones that show up with apt-cache search image viewer, as i'm already aware of those ;) but is there anything else? | 14:01 |
| ActionParsnip | nosto: ok | 14:01 |
| blackfail | no boty wants to helo me i feel so sad! | 14:01 |
| hz | odinsbane; thx friend | 14:01 |
| headc4se | blackfail, still not sure what you mean by there's no kernel | 14:01 |
| ActionParsnip | nosto: sudo mkdir /mnt/windows; sudo mount /dev/sda1 /mnt/windows | 14:01 |
| blackfail | i don't mean the linux kernel , that is my cpu kernel | 14:02 |
| blackfail | amd 2800+ | 14:02 |
| jameslr | TiredWolf: hmm Picasa?http://picasa.google.com/linux/ | 14:02 |
| blackfail | 64bit | 14:02 |
| Pici | !who | blackfail | 14:02 |
| ubottu | blackfail: As you can see, this is a large channel. If you're speaking to someone in particular, please put their nickname in what you say (use !tab), or else messages get lost and it becomes confusing :) | 14:02 |
| codecowboy | hi. when copying large files to an external usb drive, the data transger rate is about 5 MB/s. Is this normal or should this be faster? Its a brand new machine so USB 2.0 capable | 14:02 |
| TiredWolf | jameslr: hm thanks, but i meant in the official repositories (and free) | 14:02 |
| blackfail | oh i know | 14:02 |
| nosto | ok.. done | 14:02 |
| jameslr | TiredWolf: Picasa is free | 14:02 |
| ActionParsnip | nosto: thats mounted the drive to the folder /mnt/windows | 14:02 |
| blackfail | i have never been there before | 14:02 |
| The-Compiler | codecowboy: should be okay imho | 14:03 |
| ActionParsnip | now we need an extra line in /etc/fstab for the partition | 14:03 |
| headc4se | blackfail, you mean it's only detecting one cpu core? | 14:03 |
| blackfail | hello | 14:03 |
| nosto | forever and ever? | 14:03 |
| TiredWolf | jameslr: not free as linux users usually mean by "free", i'm afraid | 14:03 |
| Pici | headc4se: I think thats what hes saying... | 14:03 |
| TiredWolf | jameslr: is it under a free software license? | 14:03 |
| blackfail | i dot know the word of "detecting" | 14:03 |
| blackfail | i look up my dic | 14:03 |
| TiredWolf | blackfail: it's only "seeing" one cpu core | 14:04 |
| jameslr | TiredWolf: it's not GPL if that's what you mean | 14:04 |
| hishuu | hey guys | 14:04 |
| The-Compiler | blackfail: what language are you speaking? | 14:04 |
| ActionParsnip | nosto: yes, the fstab is read at boot and stuf is mounted | 14:04 |
| TiredWolf | jameslr: well, other free licenses would also do, not necessarily GPL... but yeah, open source is what i mean | 14:04 |
| codecowboy | The-Compiler, thanks for the reply but I was hoping for a slighlty more technical answer i.e. what is the fastest transfer rate I can reasonably expect? | 14:04 |
| jameslr | TiredWolf: not open sores. | 14:04 |
| hishuu | to resize an ntfs partition that contains your main system | 14:04 |
| hishuu | *is there any way to | 14:05 |
| hishuu | I have this laptop | 14:05 |
| hishuu | it can't boot from cd | 14:05 |
| jameslr | TiredWolf: why so particular? You just need an image viewer. There are many alternatives. Image Magick being one... | 14:05 |
| headc4se | blackfail, what version of ubuntu did you download and install? | 14:05 |
| ActionParsnip | /dev/sda1 /mnt/windows ntfs defaults 0 0 | 14:05 |
| blackfail | i am a chinese | 14:05 |
| The-Compiler | codecowboy: no idea then, I only know usb is kinda slow compared to ata | 14:05 |
| The-Compiler | !cn | blackfail | 14:05 |
| ubottu | blackfail: For Ubuntu help in Chinese 您可以访问中文频道： #ubuntu-cn 或者 #ubuntu-tw 或者 #ubuntu-hk | 14:05 |
| blackfail | ubuntu 8.04 64bit | 14:05 |
| hishuu | so I had to laboriously install windows then use it to install ubuntu inside of | 14:05 |
| ActionParsnip | nosto: /dev/sda1 /mnt/windows ntfs defaults 0 0 | 14:05 |
| blackfail | thanks | 14:05 |
| hishuu | but now I have a ntfs partition with windows on it | 14:05 |
| The-Compiler | np ;) | 14:05 |
| jameslr | I use picasa, because I have a google account and I use the picasa web albums. | 14:05 |
| ActionParsnip | nosto: thats the line to mount it each time | 14:06 |
| ActionParsnip | nosto: gksu gedit /etc/fstab | 14:06 |
| ActionParsnip | put it at the bottom of the file | 14:06 |
| ZeroA4 | hishuu, I would use Gparted... it comes on the Ubuntu Desktop CD... you CAN generate a USB drive to boot it | 14:06 |
| ActionParsnip | you may need a carriage return at the end of the line | 14:06 |
| hishuu | I think this laptop is too old to boot from usb | 14:06 |
| hishuu | it can't boot from cd | 14:06 |
| codecowboy | The-Compiler, usb 2.0 should perform at 480Mbps but thats megaBITs not megaBYTES. I forget the formula for working out the true speed - its the same for broadband i believe | 14:06 |
| hishuu | it's stupid toshiba weirdness | 14:07 |
| The-Compiler | cowbud: divided by 8 iirc | 14:07 |
| Conundrum_ | divide it by 8 to get megabytes | 14:07 |
| ZeroA4 | hishuu, but why it cant boot from CD? there is no too old for that! | 14:07 |
| ActionParsnip | hishuu: id check what it can boot from in bios | 14:07 |
| TiredWolf | jameslr: uh, imagemagick is an image viewer? thought it was only a command-line manipulation program. anyway, i'm looking for some pretty specific combination of features, so i'd like to know about as many alternatives as possible. to give you an idea, i want always-on-screen shot data (shutterspeed, aperture, iso), hopefully superimposed on the image, and zoom locking on multiple images, and lossless JPEG operations, and canon raw | 14:07 |
| TiredWolf | loading, and over/underexposure highlights... | 14:07 |
| hishuu | it can boot from some cd drives | 14:07 |
| PucKid | hi everyone, i would require some help. My samsung YP-K3 is not mounting on Ubuntu, is there anything i could do about it, to make it work ? | 14:07 |
| hishuu | it only has external via pcmcia | 14:07 |
| hishuu | and it won | 14:07 |
| hishuu | 't boot from that | 14:07 |
| ActionParsnip | TiredWolf: yes its an image manipulator | 14:07 |
| The-Compiler | TiredWolf: gimp? | 14:07 |
| hishuu | and I have checked bios | 14:07 |
| ZeroA4 | hishuu, did you burned the iso proprelly ? | 14:07 |
| hishuu | yeah, it worked fine under windows | 14:08 |
| nosto | action thanks for your help | 14:08 |
| Conundrum_ | PucKid: try enabling mtp mode on your mp3 player | 14:08 |
| ActionParsnip | hishuu: you got pcmcia cdrom? | 14:08 |
| ZeroA4 | hishuu, windows DOES not boot CDs | 14:08 |
| nosto | I'll need you again here in a second in regards to .sh files - and maybe a quick "what the heck" are they | 14:08 |
| TiredWolf | The-Compiler: not KDE, and hardly really a viewer... i also want something that's a "viewer", i.e. has the usual commands to go to the next and previous image, and hopefully loads fast. | 14:08 |
| PucKid | Conundrum_: okay, i'll google that, i mean google how i can do that, thank you | 14:08 |
| hishuu | windows does have pcmcia drivers though | 14:08 |
| codecowboy | The-Compiler, dont you have to multiply it by something 1st before dividing by 8? | 14:08 |
| ActionParsnip | nosto: think windows batch files | 14:08 |
| The-Compiler | codecowboy: afaik no | 14:09 |
| ActionParsnip | hishuu: you dont install ubuntu from windows | 14:09 |
| The-Compiler | TiredWolf: hm, okay... | 14:09 |
| lusepuster | My Evolution freezes at startup after a forces shutdown. Is there anything I can do without deleting mails/contacts? | 14:09 |
| headc4se | blackfail, i was just poking around online, is it a sempron 2800+ or an athlon 2800+? | 14:09 |
| The-Compiler | TiredWolf: you can use it fine under kde tho | 14:09 |
| ActionParsnip | hishuu: you have the ubuntu cd in the pcmcia connected drive and boot from it | 14:09 |
| TiredWolf | The-Compiler: ShowFoto is pretty close, but a bit too confusing | 14:09 |
| codecowboy | The-Compiler, ok so I should be getting 60 MB per second, not 5. | 14:09 |
| hishuu | actionparsnip, I understand how to install a distro normally | 14:09 |
| TiredWolf | The-Compiler: well sure, but that doesn't make it a KDE program. it means it'll load slowly because it needs to fetch GTK, for starters | 14:09 |
| hishuu | this laptop is a stupid special case | 14:10 |
| hishuu | and you can install ubuntu inside a windows environment | 14:10 |
| blackfail | in fact i don't know any more with my PC | 14:10 |

| === mrcollins_ is now known as mrcollins | ||
| hishuu | it only works if your bios can boot from cd | 14:12 |
| headc4se | nosto, ./command.sh | 14:12 |
| nosto | i went and downloaded it - and now its sitting on my desktop just waiting to be used | 14:12 |
| hishuu | which mine can't | 14:12 |
| PucKid | Conundrum_: the samsung YP-K3 is an MTP device, so this is enabled by default. Atleast that's what i've learned by reading some websites. | 14:12 |
| The-Compiler | nosto: chmod +x file.sh && sh file.sh | 14:12 |
| TiredWolf | hishuu: smartbootmanager? it shouldn't really | 14:12 |
| ActionParsnip | nosto: you fill a text file withdetails of the install and save it. It doesnt HAVE to be .sh | 14:12 |
| Guest54877 | sex. ladys | 14:12 |
| hishuu | it doesn't give me a boot from cd option | 14:12 |
| bazhang | Guest54877, not here | 14:12 |
| hishuu | nor does super grub disc, which I also tried | 14:12 |
| ActionParsnip | nosto: make sure it has !#bin/bash at the top line | 14:13 |
| insertable | Hi all. My /etc/resolv.conf keeps changign to my routers IP, but I would like it to stay as my local IP as I am running my own DNS. How can I get it to stay as my IP? Thanks :> | 14:13 |
| Pici | ActionParsnip, nosto: Its #! not !# | 14:13 |
| ActionParsnip | nosto: then chmod u+x <file> | 14:13 |
| hishuu | but if I boot into some kind of operating system I can get pcmcia drivers loaded | 14:13 |
| ActionParsnip | Pici: cheers | 14:13 |
| hishuu | so it'll run the cd drive then | 14:13 |
| hishuu | hence why I had to install it from windows | 14:13 |
| nosto | wow thats a lot to swallow at once | 14:13 |
| ActionParsnip | hishuu: well you are running it virtually on top of windows | 14:14 |
| nosto | still a little confused by that | 14:14 |
| TiredWolf | hishuu, but the smartbm page says, "Installing Ubuntu is normally done by booting the computer with the Ubuntu CD. However, sometimes you'll experience problems booting from the CD-ROM drive. This can be caused by many factors like using an old computer with a BIOS that doesn't support booting from a CD-ROM drive." - so it would seem it's exactly made to boot when your bios can't boot from CD | 14:14 |
| ActionParsnip | nosto: open a text editor and put #!bin/bash at the top | 14:14 |
| The-Compiler | ActionParsnip: thats most likely unneeded, isn't it? | 14:15 |
| ActionParsnip | nosto: then commands as if you are typing them in the terminal, just like a dos batchscript (.bat) | 14:15 |
| hishuu | well I've copied sbm.bin off the ubuntu cd onto a disk using dd | 14:15 |
| hishuu | and it doesn't provide the option | 14:15 |
| ActionParsnip | The-Compiler: its habit for me | 14:15 |
| hishuu | I'll try again | 14:15 |
| ActionParsnip | nosto: then save it | 14:15 |
| TiredWolf | hishuu: you mean when smartbm starts, it doesn't have a "cd-rom" option? | 14:15 |
| nosto | i can't open the file with a text editor because it can't tell the character type | 14:15 |
| hishuu | yeah, none at all | 14:15 |
| hishuu | I'll try it once more, though | 14:15 |
| ActionParsnip | nosto: you have a text file full of commands but it is not executable and therefore not very useful | 14:15 |
| TiredWolf | hishuu: tried hitting Tab and then "rescan"? | 14:16 |
| The-Compiler | nosto: so it's a binary. Try "chmod +x file && ./file" | 14:16 |
| The-Compiler | nosto: should work | 14:16 |
| hishuu | I have, tiredwolf | 14:16 |
| hishuu | but I will try it again | 14:16 |
| erlend_ | how do I set my wireless network card into monitoring mode? | 14:16 |

| erlend_ | The-Compiler: i.E | 14:17 |
| hishuu | and no | 14:17 |
| TiredWolf | hishuu: does the BIOS recognize the cd drive in the first place? (even though it's not able to boot it) | 14:17 |
| hishuu | no option to boot from cdrom | 14:17 |
| jameslr | TiredWolf: sounds like you're looking for a photoshop replacement then? | 14:17 |
| hishuu | it's pcmcia | 14:17 |
| The-Compiler | erlend_: you need modified drivers, gimme a moment | 14:17 |
| hishuu | so it doesn't recognise it | 14:17 |

| hwilde_ | elsombrero, Access Point: Invalid is it a wep key or what | 15:28 |
| bazhang | elsombrero, what chipset lsusb in terminal paste to paste.ubuntu.com (NOT here) | 15:28 |
| bmw | hi all | 15:28 |
| TuxPWNZ | My system eventually stops playing any sound. How can I fix that? | 15:28 |
| elsombrero | hwilde_ i have a wap key | 15:29 |
| bazhang | TuxPWNZ, that is far too little info | 15:29 |
| elsombrero | set on my router hwilde_ | 15:29 |
| hwilde_ | bazhang, it's recognizing the pen as eth2 he just needs to set the ssid and wep key | 15:29 |
| hwilde_ | elsombrero, you mean wep or wpa | 15:29 |
| bmw | whos better in \root partition ext3 or reiserfs ??? | 15:29 |
| elsombrero | wpa | 15:29 |
| hwilde_ | !wpa | elsombrero | 15:29 |
| ubottu | elsombrero: Wireless documentation can be found at https://help.ubuntu.com/community/WifiDocs | 15:29 |
| TuxPWNZ | bazhang: Can you tell me what else do you need? | 15:30 |
| hwilde_ | elsombrero, you just need to setup the wpa supplicant with your psk. it's recognizing the pen fine as eth2. I bet if you turn your router into no security it will authenticate right away | 15:30 |
| troythetechguy | Weird, according to system monitor, only 23% of memory is being used, but according to the "top" command, only 8Mb are Free!~ | 15:30 |
| hwilde_ | elsombrero, can you try setting your router to no security just to verify the pen is working, then you can figure out how to do wpa | 15:31 |
| bazhang | TuxPWNZ, what are you using? alsa? check alsamixer in terminal? playing flash and music player at same time? need that kind of info. just saying it doesnt work will not get much of an answer | 15:31 |
| Rubin | troythetechguy, memory management in linux is very complex and hard to narrow down to 'free' and 'used'. so tools differ sometimes. | 15:31 |
| bmw | what you recomend my raiserfs or ext3 ??? for ubuntu | 15:31 |
| bazhang | ext3 bmw | 15:31 |
| jeffwheeler | bmw: ext3, definitely | 15:31 |
| LittleD-the-grea | /server chat.peercommons.net | 15:31 |
| inmm | hi everybody, I have an ext3 partition, but I cannot get it working with write acces, I can only read files into it, do anybody know how to fix it? | 15:31 |
| LittleD-the-grea | whoops | 15:31 |
| jeffwheeler | LittleD-the-grea: no space :) | 15:31 |
| troythetechguy | Rubin: I can understand they differ somewhat, but this is too big of a difference; something funky is going on. | 15:31 |
| bmw | whay ext3 ??? | 15:32 |
| jeffwheeler | bmw: it's the standard on most every system, and is tried/tested | 15:32 |
| elsomberer | hwilde_ when i write sudo iwlist eth2 scan he say eth2 no scan result | 15:32 |
| jeffwheeler | bmw: there are probably some technical advantages, but really they're irrelevant beyond that fact | 15:32 |
| hwilde_ | elsomberer, sudo ifconfig eth2 down; sudo ifconfig eth2 up; sudo iwlist eth2 scan is your router broadcasting the ssid? | 15:33 |
| TuxPWNZ | bazhang: Yes, for example Amarok, and exaile refuse to play any music. And yeah, I'm usually playing some flash and a music player when this happens. | 15:33 |
| bmw | ok thanks | 15:33 |
| bazhang | TuxPWNZ, that would be it then | 15:33 |
| bmw | and what about the / var | 15:33 |
| Overand | I don't recommend reiserfs simply because there is an inication that it will be less well maintained in the future. | 15:33 |
| TuxPWNZ | bazhang: And the only way I could them to work again is be rebooting the system. | 15:33 |
| elsomberer | hwilde_ yes but now i paste on pastebin.com ifconfig and interfaces.conf | 15:33 |
| jeffwheeler | bmw: what about /var? | 15:34 |
| Overand | Development is trailing off on ReiserFS - it's *possible* that we'll see default installs in the future that don't support it. | 15:34 |
| TuxPWNZ | bazhang: Is there a way to fix this without having to reboot?? | 15:34 |
| bmw | i red in reviews i mast put \var in els partition | 15:34 |
| bazhang | bmw you have a support issue or just wish to chat | 15:34 |
| bmw | :) 2 | 15:34 |
| hwilde_ | bmw, there is no need to use anything but ext3 unless you have a really good reason | 15:34 |
| elsomberer | hwilde_ http://paste.ubuntu.com/29980/ is ifconfig | 15:34 |
| inmm | any idea of how to fix the write acces to ext3 partition? | 15:34 |
| jeffwheeler | bmw: a lot of more experienced Linux users put /var and /home, and several others on separate partitions or drives for a lot of reasons | 15:34 |
| jeffwheeler | bmw: you probably don't need to worry about it unless you know why | 15:35 |
| fwaokda | Is anyone here familiar with "Partimage" ? | 15:35 |
| bazhang | bmw here is support; #ubuntu-offtopic for chit chat | 15:35 |
| jeffwheeler | bmw: if they're on separate drives, it has the advantage of being able to write to both simultaneously | 15:35 |
| hwilde_ | elsomberer, can you set the router to no security and verify the pen is working | 15:35 |
| mandark | hey can anyone help me configuring my sound...its not working.. i tried to take help frm the forums but i m getting confused | 15:36 |
| bazhang | mandark, what did you try and what errors did you get | 15:36 |
| elsombrero2 | hwilde_ http://paste.ubuntu.com/29981/ is interfaces.conf | 15:36 |
| legend2440 | inmm: in terminal type mount see if it says rw next to that partition | 15:36 |
| TuxPWNZ | bazhang: Is there any way to fix this without having to reboot?? | 15:36 |
| hwilde_ | elsomberer, can you set the router to no security and verify the pen is working | 15:36 |
| bazhang | TuxPWNZ, many folks have that issue; have you tried setting to alsa from autodetect? | 15:37 |
| elsombrero2 | okok | 15:37 |
| elsombrero2 | hwilde_ okok what channel i set? | 15:37 |
| blindattack | hey, how could I install some packages from the live cd on an installed ubuntu? | 15:37 |
| TuxPWNZ | bazhang: How's that done? | 15:37 |
| bazhang | TuxPWNZ, in system prefs sound | 15:37 |
| elsombrero2 | hwilde_ okok what channel i set? | 15:37 |
| hwilde_ | elsombrero2, why are you on here with so many usernames. channel doesn't matter just set it to default 6 | 15:38 |
| bazhang | blindattack, no internet? | 15:38 |
| troythetechguy | I have a 160 GB HDD. If I want to install 8.04 and have / and /home on separate partitions, with /home containing a virtual machine with Windows as guest OS, is making / = 20GB, and /home = 138 GB, with 2 GB for Swap reasonable? | 15:38 |
| blindattack | no internet on that machine. | 15:38 |
| elsombrero2 | hwilde_ my mirc is closed many times and now i have other username | 15:38 |
| bazhang | troythetechguy, yes | 15:38 |
| AMDpenguin | Will ext3 fragment over time? | 15:38 |
| elsombrero2 | hwilde_ the are'nt clones | 15:38 |
| bazhang | AMDpenguin, no | 15:38 |
| mandark | bazhang: they told me to find my chipset drivers here http://www.alsa-project.org/main/index.php/Matrix:Main i m getting confused as how 2 find it here | 15:39 |
| hwilde_ | elsombrero2, anyways, just set your router to something easy and verify the pen works. then debug wpa | 15:39 |
| inmm | legend2440: /dev/sda3 on /media/sda3 type ext3 (rw) | 15:39 |
| bmw | Ok i now , i do dis i put the \var and \home in sda3 and sda4 . but when i install Ubuntu 2 time a cant mount the var :) without do format \var who can my say why | 15:39 |
| mandark | bazhang: can u help me as i m a fresher | 15:39 |
| AMDpenguin | but does it fragment at all? | 15:39 |
| elsombrero2 | hwilde_ i set router with no security and channel 6 is true? | 15:39 |
| troythetechguy | bazhang: Thanks. I was concerned having a 138GB partition would slow down the machine, or would be too big. | 15:39 |
| hwilde_ | elsombrero, yeah thats fine | 15:39 |
| TuxPWNZ | bazhang: Okay, done it, and it worked! :D | 15:39 |
| bazhang | AMDpenguin, I told you already, please move on | 15:39 |
| elsombrero2 | hwilde_ thanks a lots | 15:39 |

| TuxPWNZ | bazhang: Now, one more thing, Amarok refusing to start. | 15:40 |
| mandark | bazhang: they told me to find my chipset drivers here http://www.alsa-project.org/main/index.php/Matrix:Main i m getting confused as how 2 find it here | 15:40 |

| mandark | bazhang, how do i get it then | 15:50 |
| hwilde_ | blindattack, why can't you just reinstall fresh from the cd | 15:50 |
| wjohnsto | I am having a lot of trouble getting my xorg.conf to work | 15:50 |
| Ardha | hy | 15:50 |
| hwilde_ | wjohnsto, dpkg-reconfigure xserver-xorg | 15:50 |

| Trumbun | My Ubuntu istalation not detect my projector? Nvidia Card with drivers enabled | 15:50 |
| RoboJoint | great suggestions though | 15:50 |
| hwilde_ | wols_, you talkin to me? | 15:50 |
| blindattack | <hwilde_> , because everything else works, I just need xorg | 15:50 |
| xif | Is there a way to tell Ubuntu to auto-update silently in the background, without waiting for user confirmation? | 15:50 |
| wols_ | hwilde_: yes. | 15:50 |
| wjohnsto | hwilde_: when i run sudo dpkg-reconfigure xserver-xorg, it gets to where I choose a 3-button mouse, then it stops | 15:51 |
| mandark | wols_, now how do i install then | 15:51 |
| bazhang | RoboJoint, then dual boot it is | 15:51 |
| wjohnsto | I can't get to my monitor settings | 15:51 |

| RoboJoint | I was hoping there was an easier way of starting xp then rebooting | 15:52 |
| hwilde_ | wols_ yeah so it will restore his f'd up xorg.conf to a default one | 15:52 |
| bazhang | RoboJoint, you checked appdb? | 15:52 |
| wols_ | hwilde_: that is the problem: this default one IS fscked up | 15:52 |
| xif | bastid_raZor: thanks, remember where? | 15:52 |
| wjohnsto | yea | 15:52 |
| wols_ | hwilde_: autodetect is far far from foolproof | 15:52 |
| histo | RoboJoint: you could use a virtual machine | 15:52 |
| hwilde_ | wols_, lame. | 15:52 |
| wjohnsto | my default xorg.conf is messed up | 15:52 |
| hwilde_ | lame lame lame | 15:52 |
| histo | RoboJoint: or even run xp with seamless rdp | 15:52 |
| bazhang | histo, not for 3d games though | 15:52 |

| emorris | ejer: squirrely, interesting word | 17:11 |
| kenbw3 | it says it can't find the files (details at http://www.nomorepasting.com/getpaste.php?pasteid=18372) when trying to create bootable 8.04 install. Can anyone help? | 17:12 |
| charlesinCharge | Can I use dual monitors if I just have a regular monitor port, and S video ? | 17:12 |
| cousinhub34 | hello tout le monde | 17:12 |
| jc | nevermind I found it its the Custom menu bar applet | 17:12 |
| ejer | kenbw3: have you seen https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Installation/FromUSBStick | 17:13 |
| isleshocky77 | So I have a jar file which I was running through java -jar file.jar, then I made a launcher file (.desktop), but this is all in my downloads_temp directory I have which I'll probably delete by accident. Where should I place the jar and .desktop file for it to be "installed"? | 17:13 |
| emorris | kenbw3: type mount in a terminal, and find out where the cd drive is really mounted | 17:13 |
| ejer | kenbw3: i have used isotostick a few times successfully | 17:14 |
| kindofabuzz | what file holds the script that tells you tthat you've entered a wrong sudo password? | 17:14 |

| emorris | emorris: if it isn't mounted try mount /cdrom | 17:14 |
| kenbw3 | emorris: would it not mess up the commands if i use a different dir? | 17:14 |
| isleshocky77 | I guess it's pretty much a best practice question. | 17:14 |
| azexian | minimec: tested it without encryption and it works, not quite sure what I did, but not it's working with key, thanks a lot =) | 17:15 |
| legend2440 | isleshocky77: the /opt folder is a good place | 17:15 |
| isleshocky77 | for both files? | 17:15 |
| emorris | kenbw3: no, you just need to be in the same dir where casper, dists, install etc. are in | 17:15 |
| isleshocky77 | and will kde pick up the .desktop file automatically so it can be in the "search" dialog? | 17:15 |
| kenbw3 | emorris: should i cd to the casper drive or the ubuntu8 one? | 17:16 |
| emorris | kenbw3: casper. The last option in the cp command, /media/ubuntu8, tells it where to copy to | 17:16 |
| legend2440 | isleshocky77: sorry never used kde only gnome | 17:16 |
| kenbw3 | ah right :) | 17:16 |
| ncfi1013_ | do ineed a particular driver installed in order to get an ilo brand mp3 player to work in windows or linux media players and where can i find said drivers? | 17:16 |
| Drarok | Gack, I'm so close. I've got dual head mode sort of running from using aticonfig, but it looks like the Window Manager isn't loading, I get no window Chrome. And the menu bar is on both screens... | 17:17 |

| cr0w | hi..how I create the launcher of the trash? | 17:28 |
| ejer | ncfi1013_: i see no removable device... is it on? maybe you need to put it into some sort of 'sync' mode? what is model name and number exactly? | 17:28 |

| Thoku | nilsl: Personally I haven't had any issues, however I upgraded from 7.10. | 17:30 |

| mikea87 | bazhang: http://paste.ubuntu.com/30016/ | 17:53 |
| Flannel | meoblast001: the version in Hardy is the latest stable version | 17:53 |

| bazhang | meoblast001, hardy deb? | 17:54 |
| robf | ok I have set up two screens (seperate not twinview) now oddly, my primary's Applications/Places/Ssystems menus etc, go VERY slow in dropping down, the secondary monitor, works fine, any ideas as to why? | 17:54 |

| bazhang | mikea87, is this an open wifi spot? | 17:55 |
| I_Am | wtf ubuntu install 2 differnt firefox 3's | 17:55 |
| bazhang | I_Am, no cursing | 17:55 |
| meoblast001 | Flannel: "The latest stable release of Crystal Space is 1.2.1 (5 May 2008)." -- CrystalSpace3D.org | 17:55 |
| I_Am | sorry but which one should i uninstall | 17:55 |
| I_Am | firefox or firefow-3.0 | 17:56 |
| Flannel | meoblast001: Where's it say that? All I get is 1.0 is stable and 1.1 is the development version | 17:56 |
| Trumpf | Hello | 17:56 |
| meoblast001 | Flannel: http://www.crystalspace3d.org/main/Download#Current_Stable_version_.281.2.1.29 | 17:56 |
| kindofabuzz | meoblast001: why not just install the version off that site? | 17:56 |
| Trumpf | Some one there is running windows? | 17:56 |
| mikea87 | bazhang: yes, it is open spot | 17:57 |
| achadwick | I_Am: "firefox" is a meta-package, which means it depends on the latest version. Leave both that and "firefox-3.0" alone, and you'll be fine. | 17:57 |
| meoblast001 | kindofabuzz: the compilation of crystal space takes forever | 17:57 |
| achadwick | (meta-packages take up next to no space on the disk) | 17:57 |
| bobertdos | I_Am: I actually suggest you leave them both alone. Firefox is just the meta package. Firefox-3.0 is the main browser. | 17:57 |
| bazhang | mikea87, does it see the hotspot? | 17:57 |
| I_Am | well why do i have 2 firefoxs in my gnome menu | 17:57 |
| kindofabuzz | meoblast001: well, seems like your only choice, ask around on there forums to see if someone has a .deb made | 17:57 |
| I_Am | one is firefox and one is firefox-3.0 | 17:57 |
| Flannel | meoblast001: 1.2 was released too late in the Hardy development cycle to be included into Hardy | 17:58 |
| I_Am | and they run different firefox 3's | 17:58 |
| robf | how can I change the context (eg. the menu drop downs) timer? Its way way slow | 17:58 |
| robf | like if I hover over applications, takes over 1 second to display | 17:58 |
| achadwick | I_Am: one might be a firefox *2*. What labels do they have? On mine I see "Firefox web browser" and "firefox 2 web browser" | 17:58 |
| bobertdos | I_Am: Are you running Hardy Heron from a fresh install or did you do an upgrade? | 17:58 |
| SaintStewart | Linux rules. That is all. | 17:58 |
| meoblast001 | Flannel: so why do i do system updates, if they dont include new software until the end of the 6 months? | 17:58 |
| I_Am | full install and they both are firefox 3 | 17:58 |
| Flannel | meoblast001: They include security updates and bug fixes | 17:59 |
| I_Am | i check via the firefox about | 17:59 |
| Torment | hello | 17:59 |
| meoblast001 | kindofabuzz: i found a deb, with unsatisfiable dependencies | 17:59 |
| I_Am | but they both have differnet settings like bookmarks and such | 17:59 |
| Flannel | meoblast001: That's always how Ubuntu has been. | 17:59 |
| SaintStewart | Hello, Torment. | 17:59 |
| mesk | a short question: i recognized that there are no trash directory's on my ntfs and fat32 partitions, how can i restore them? | 17:59 |
| Torment | im new to linux but i like it ! | 17:59 |
| kindofabuzz | meoblast001: install the deps before you try to install the .deb? | 17:59 |
| Flannel | meoblast001: You can *try* using prevu (cs is unlikely to get into -backports). But installing the intrepid deb straight out is sure to cause problems | 17:59 |
| Flannel | !prevu | meoblast001 | 17:59 |
| ubottu | meoblast001: prevu is an automated, personal backporting utility. Check out https://wiki.ubuntu.com/Prevu for more details | 17:59 |

| bobertdos | I_Am: Well, I guess I would uninstall Firefox if I had to choose between the two. | 18:00 |
| meoblast001 | kindofabuzz:i need libwxbase2.8-0 though | 18:00 |

| kindofabuzz | oh nvm | 18:02 |
| histo | kane77: that will show you files and size in a readable format. | 18:02 |
| SaintStewart | I dont like 8.04 so much, as it never configures my video right, no matter how much tweaking I have, but 7.1 does it perfectly. Whats with the autoconfiguring in 8.04? My xorg.conf in 7.1 shows everything, and in 8.04, all I ever get is some one liners about the devices is configured. | 18:02 |
| kindofabuzz | Torment: in a way, until you get to gui's | 18:02 |
| Torment | okey but im still on the basics | 18:03 |
| meoblast001 | kindofabuzz: why does it say unsatisfiable dependency libwxbase2.8-0 when i checked and have that installed? | 18:03 |
| Torment | g2g now cya guys | 18:03 |
| sk33t0r | Im trying to connect to an SMB printer on a winxp machine.. and everytime I use gnome-cups-add and select an SMB server.. it prompts me for a username and password.. I dont have a username and password set on my winxp machine so what do I do?? | 18:03 |
| histo | kane77: more like ls -lahS | 18:03 |
| kane77 | histo, hmm.. well yes, but that lists files and directories in current directory, I need something like du -h produces but only biggest file | 18:03 |
| kindofabuzz | meoblast001: maybe wrong version? do you have the dev version installed? | 18:03 |
| SaintStewart | sk33t0r, for me, I never enter a password...I just hit ok and it works. | 18:04 |
| meoblast001 | kindofabuzz: yup | 18:04 |
| histo | kane77: you just need to sort by size switch probably S | 18:04 |
| sk33t0r | saint what about for user? | 18:04 |
| achadwick | I_Am: it's either not from a package (do you have a firefox manually installed in /usr/local or in your home?), or you have a GNOME menu entry for a second profile somehow. | 18:04 |
| SaintStewart | I just leave whatever it has in there already. | 18:04 |
| tigerplug | anyone know an easy way to install aptana studio / rad rails .... no luck so far | 18:04 |
| TtyS2 | sk33t0r: just use administrator or a user with admin right | 18:04 |

| sk33t0r | administrator as the username? | 18:04 |

| SaintStewart | On your XP machine, you have a user/pass, right? Try that. | 18:05 |
| * achadwick has basically the same set of *firefox* packages as I_Am for ff3, and gets just the one ff3 entry | 18:05 | |

| cvw | I have numrous linux image packages installed from several months of Ubuntu usage. Is there an easy method, package, etc. that makes it possible to remove all but perhaps the latest of these? | 18:05 |

| histo | kane77: thats what man is for. | 18:05 |
| Trumpf | SaintStewart, i can get it installed | 18:05 |
| TtyS2 | sk33t0r: yes u do, u have to make that when installing it | 18:05 |
| Trumpf | it need the firmware | 18:06 |
| SaintStewart | sk33t0r, Have you tried just leaving the default info it brings up when asking for a password and just hitting enter? | 18:06 |
| === xxxxxx is now known as Guest33679 | ||
| kindofabuzz | cvw: sudo apt-get autoremove, i think | 18:06 |
| snmpee_ | thebishop is it in the Places taskmenu? | 18:06 |
| thebishop | snmpee_, so if its not showing up, how can i troubleshoot? is there supposed to be a block device? | 18:06 |
| histo | thebishop is it a usb card reader? | 18:06 |
| SaintStewart | Trumpf, what version you using? | 18:06 |
| cvw | kindofabuzz: does nothing | 18:06 |
| sk33t0r | well there is no password | 18:06 |
| sk33t0r | just a username | 18:06 |
| thebishop | histo, its built into my laptop, probably on the USB bus | 18:06 |
| achadwick | I_Am: try going to menu -> right button -> edit menus -> Internet, and for each of your 2 firefox icons, double-click to see what command it's invoking. | 18:06 |
| mikea87 | SaintStewart: I also has bcm43xx and i installed it but it can't connect to network (Hardy Heron) - under Gutsy everythng was ok | 18:06 |
| histo | thebishop: you can try lsusb | 18:06 |
| histo | thebishop: or look for it in lspci | 18:06 |
| snmpee_ | thebishop you never said whether this is a USB card reader | 18:07 |
| kane77 | histo, thanx.. the ls * -lahS looks good | 18:07 |
| SaintStewart | sk33t0r, Aye, thats the point. When it brings up the box asking for a password, just click ok, dont put a pass in. See what happens. When I have to connect to my wifes XP machine, I dont enter any passwords and it just connects. | 18:07 |
| histo | kane77: Other wise you would n eed to read allthe files then sort them regardless of directory. | 18:07 |
| histo | kane77: some scripting would probably be needed for that. | 18:07 |
| thebishop | snmpee_, its built into my laptop, i'm guessing its attached to the USB bus internally | 18:07 |
| SaintStewart | mikea87, Did you go to the Restricted Drivers Manager? | 18:08 |
| histo | thebishop: well try lsusb and find out. | 18:08 |
| histo | thebishop: or see if its listed in lspci | 18:08 |
| kane77 | histo, I will probably write some ruby script for that :) | 18:08 |

| SaintStewart | mikea87, When I do a fresh install, the first thing I do is open up restricted drivers manager, and then start the bcm43xx wireless firmware.

| histo | thebishop: what about pluggin in | 18:19 |
| bobertdos | Hotkey: In order to do that, the drive needs to be added to your fstab file. Just a second. | 18:19 |
| thebishop | histo, nothing | 18:19 |
| histo | thebishop: it should see the card and try to mount it. | 18:20 |
| histo | hrm... :( | 18:20 |
| orangepeelbeef | soopa: you can do apt-get install --reinstall grub | 18:20 |
| th0r | Soopa, can you boot up the computer? either from the hd or from the live cd | 18:20 |
| histo | thebishop: maybe driver based issue I would search for your laptop on the forums. | 18:20 |
| YuReKa | -¤±- | 18:20 |
| thebishop | histo, maybe plugging in a card doesn't change the state of the device | 18:20 |
| rockenrola2 | gamercod4: have you tried using this driver: http://www.linuxprinting.org/show_printer.cgi?recnum=Lexmark-X75 ? | 18:20 |
| YuReKa | Hi.. | 18:20 |
| TiredWolf | SaintStewart: ok i see a usb message about it but it contains no device node | 18:20 |
| TiredWolf | SaintStewart: on the other hand, kde recognizes it as if it were a PTP camera... ? | 18:20 |
| mesk | a short question: i recognized that there are no trash directory's on my ntfs and fat32 partitions, how can i restore them? | 18:20 |
| Soopa | I can boot the computer, but only if one of my IDE disks is present.. it should be booting from the SATA drive, but I guess it isn't | 18:21 |
| thebishop | histo, how can i determine what dev file is relevant to my device from what lspci gives me? | 18:21 |
| histo | thebishop: I don't think you can from there. | 18:21 |
| gamercod4 | yes rockenrola2 | 18:21 |
| rockenrola2 | mesk: are you sure? did you check the hidden files and folders? | 18:21 |
| orangepeelbeef | soopa: sounds like the master boot record is on your ide drive not your sata | 18:21 |
| Hotkey | bobertdos i rite clicked and chose "make a link" - its just line windows shortcut, | 18:21 |
| gamercod4 | i've untar the source and try to compile it, but failed here: | 18:21 |
| histo | thebishop: but it should be seeing the card and auto mounting the device. It sounds like its not even seeing the card being inserted. | 18:22 |
| mesk | rockenrola2, yes it was a mistage from me | 18:22 |
| bobertdos | Hotkey: Join me in #ubuntu-classroom. It'll be a quieter place to work on this. | 18:22 |
| histo | thebishop: Thats why i'm wondering if tis a driver issue. | 18:22 |
| Hotkey | bobertdos pulled it to the desktop and it works. will it not stay there? | 18:22 |
| gamercod4 | lxx74.install: Error: Unable to locate the CUPS model directory (where the PPD files are stored) <<< rockenrola2 | 18:22 |
| Soopa | orangepeelbeef: Yeah, that's what I thought.. if I do an apt-get install --reinstall grub, will that fix it? | 18:22 |
| bobertdos | Hotkey: no it won't | 18:22 |
| orangepeelbeef | soopa: no | 18:24 |
| Soopa | :-( | 18:24 |
| orangepeelbeef | soopa: you need to change your grub config to point the superblock to the sata drive | 18:24 |
| Soopa | orangepeelbeef: okay, cool.. how do I do that? | 18:24 |
| Hattori | hi. i have a very old installation of ubuntu (how to check the version?). now when i do apt-get install it doesn't find anymore the repositories.. should i upgrade? is there a safe way to do so? last times i did the upgrade, the internet connection always got screwed up (ndiswrapper etc).. since i'm connected remotely would be a prob if it dies.. any advice? | 18:24 |
| jussi01 | !version | Hattori | 18:25 |
| ubottu | Hattori: To find out what version of Ubuntu you have, type « lsb_release -a » in a !shell | 18:25 |
| Blaqlight | Hattori: type uname -a into a terminal | 18:25 |
| minimec | Soopa: http://www.supergrubdisk.org/ That helped me once... | 18:25 |
| Soopa | thanks minimec | 18:25 |
| Soopa | I'll check that out | 18:25 |
| rockenrola2 | gamercod4: which instructions are you following ? | 18:26 |
| mesk | rockenrola2, i mean that i removed them on my own some month ago | 18:26 |
| orangepeelbeef | soopa: i think all you have to do is change your root= and do a grub-update , but i could be wrong ;) | 18:26 |
| orangepeelbeef | guys how do i build the git linux-modules in hardy it keeps saying it needs the source for 2.6.24-21 but the latest package in the repo is 2.6.24-19 | 18:27 |
| gamercod4 | can you explain more please rockenrola2 :/ i don't undestand | 18:27 |
| d0wn | I need some help. My network-manager icon doesn't show in Gnome anymore | 18:27 |
| Hattori | Linux ubuntu 2.6.17-11-generic #2 SMP Tue Mar 13 23:32:38 UTC 2007 i686 GNU/Linux | 18:27 |
| rockenrola2 | mesk: ok. but i think that when you remove a file from those partitions, those folders are created again | 18:27 |
| Blaqlight | hmmm lsb_release -a works too. | 18:27 |
| Soopa | orangepeelbeef: how can I tell what it's currently pointing to? | 18:28 |
| TiredWolf | well how could i access this ipod touch? | 18:28 |
| mesk | rockenrola2, no thats the point the files are deleted | 18:28 |
| Blaqlight | Hattori: its old yes, but not that old | 18:28 |
| Vooloo | why did ubuntu suddenly become so popular? | 18:28 |
| Hattori | so should i upgrade or is there a way to access to old repositories? | 18:28 |
| hosk | it's easy to use | 18:28 |
| rockenrola2 | mesk: ok, can't help then | 18:28 |
| orangepeelbeef | soopa: look at /boot/grub/menu.lst | 18:28 |
| Hattori | Blaqlight: how to access to right repos then? | 18:28 |
| Vooloo | hosk: the mangina distro isn't? | 18:29 |
| mesk | rockenrola2, thx so far | 18:29 |
| SaintStewart | TiredWolf, Are you using 7.10 or 8.04? | 18:29 |
| Frogging101 | Vooloo:Because Windows Vista is what comes with computers now, and Vista sucks so people switched | 18:29 |
| rockenrola2 | gamercod4: what have you tried so far? | 18:29 |
| TiredWolf | SaintStewart: 8.04 | 18:29 |
| Blaqlight | !upgrade | Hattori | 18:29 |
| ubottu | Hattori: For upgrading, see the instructions at https://help.ubuntu.com/community/UpgradeNotes | 18:29 |
| Soopa | orangepeelbeef: okay, yeah, it says (hd2,0) | 18:29 |
| TiredWolf | SaintStewart: but kubuntu | 18:29 |
| CelsiusDHL | hi all | 18:29 |
| Vooloo | Frogging101: doubt that, vista users downgrade to xp | 18:29 |
| hosk | Vooloo, haha, the what distro? | 18:29 |

| gamercod4 | rockenrola2: i've downloaded driver source, untar this and make && make install it | 18:30 |
| orangepeelbeef | soopa: when you remove a disk tho, your drives are probably re-ordered | 18:30 |
| Hattori | ... | 18:30 |
| Frogging101 | Vooloo: But XP costs money | 18:30 |
| Hattori | Blaqlight: and for not upgrading but getting the apt-get install to work? | 18:30 |
| TiredWolf | Shish_: dunno, perhaps the nonfree unrar is faster | 18:30 |
| Vooloo | Frogging101: not if you have an old cd lying around | 18:30 |
| Monona | !mysql | 18:30 |

| Toznoshio | Vooloo, some people have realized that they no longer need to pirate Windows | 18:30 |
| orangepeelbeef | soopa: best thing to do is probably use that recovery cd and remove your ide drive, boot off the cd and let it put grub on there for you | 18:30 |
| Shish_ | TiredWolf: nonfree... argh.. lol | 18:30 |
| Blaqlight | there we go | 18:30 |
| hosk | Vooloo, Actually, i could never get mandrake to install right, this one installed on the first try and i can customize it so it doesn't even look like normal ubuntu anymore and still play CS | 18:30 |
| TiredWolf | Shish_: it's free as in price | 18:30 |
| CelsiusDHL | anyone can help me pls | 18:30 |
| Monona | !database | 18:30 |
| ubottu | Sorry, I don't know anything about database | 18:30 |
| Shish_ | TiredWolf: where do i get this? | 18:31 |
| iei | Toznoshio: as well as other softwares not just windows :P | 18:31 |
| Soopa | okay I'll try that, thanks orangepeelbeef | 18:31 |
| TiredWolf | Shish_: it's just the "unrar" package | 18:31 |
| Vooloo | looks like its called mandriva now or whatever | 18:31 |
| kindofabuzz | you know when you sudo something and you get the password wrong and you get that sorry pasword is wrong message? what file is that that gives that meassage? | 18:31 |
| * hosk is away: awake | 18:31 | |
| Shish_ | TiredWolf: yea i think thats what im usin | 18:31 |
| TiredWolf | Shish_: the free one is "unrar-free". you might even have the non-free one installed already | 18:31 |
| TiredWolf | !away > hosk | 18:31 |
| ubottu | hosk, please see my private message | 18:31 |

| Blaqlight | and loop them to their own window or perhaps not show them at all. | 18:39 |
| Shish_ | does anyone use anything different from unrar to speed up the "unrarring" lol... mine is goin so slow... like 5 minutes for a 600mb file | 18:39 |
| ejer | mod_cure: it should be in memcached.conf | 18:39 |
| zbk22 | Mozart_aft: you will need at least 1 parition for root /, and another partition for swap | 18:39 |
| mod_cure | doht have memcache.conf | 18:39 |
| ejer | Shish_: that sounds reasonable depending on comp speed | 18:40 |
| Blaqlight | Mozart_afk: swap should be about 1.25 times your ram | 18:40 |
| hosk | oh wait, opera | 18:40 |
| kindofabuzz | Shish_: you gotta think, that 600Mb file is probably 800Mb when unpacked, i don't think anything can speed it up except more ram and a faster computer | 18:40 |
| Blaqlight | another 200MB for /boot | 18:40 |

| kindofabuzz | Blaqlight: have what a swap file or part? in case your system needs it, and it bitches i think without one | 18:42 |
| ejer | mesk: they will be created automatically when you boot into windows - what is the problem | 18:42 |
| zbk22 | kindofabuzz: having a swap partition is better -- you can place the partition at the beginning of the disk, it leads to less fragmentation, so there are small incentives to using a partition | 18:42 |
| andare | wtf, i see that everyone else get's help with there ?'s but not me i see how u are | 18:42 |

| jbroome | kindofabuzz: hahaha | 18:48 |
| Odd-rationale | andare: try k9copy instead. does pretty much the same... | 18:48 |
| axz | lol indd | 18:48 |
| xttocs | ejer: I've tried virtualbox, are you sure you can dual boot and virtualize the same windows inst? | 18:48 |
| histo | kindofabuzz: it doesn't | 18:48 |
| emorris | andare: go to the xdvdshrink website, download the .tar.gz file and save it to your home directory. Open up a terminal and type: tar -xvzf xdvdshrink* <enter> cd dvdshrink <enter> ./install <enter> | 18:48 |
| zbk22 | xttocs: thats a good question, i know virtualbox is for virtual images, but i'm not sure of the image format is a binary image that can be used on hard drives. experiment and see | 18:48 |
| andare | odd-rationale: how does XDVDShrink do the same thing as k9copy? | 18:48 |
| ejer | xttocs: you can, and with vmware as well, but it is not pretty, and I would not suggest it | 18:48 |
| rockenrola2 | xttocs: I am not sure if that is possible. but it would be cool to have the option | 18:49 |
| andare | emorris: thnkx i'll give that a shot | 18:49 |
| xttocs | zbk22: You can boot from raw partitions in virtualbox, but I had troubles with crashing once windows expected the virtual hardware | 18:49 |
| histo | zbk22: fragmentation isn't possible with ext3 | 18:49 |
| Odd-rationale | andare: quite similar. k9copy will make a copy of a dvd and make it fit in a standard 4gb size... | 18:49 |
| histo | !defrag | 18:49 |
| ubottu | The default Ubuntu filesystem (ext3) is engineered to avoid fragmentation issues in most cases, see http://linkpot.net/behead/ for a simple example on how it achieves this. | 18:49 |
| bobertdos | Odd-rationale: Does Chad's Grub work yet?? :p | 18:49 |
| ejer | histo: wrong | 18:49 |
| Odd-rationale | bobertdos: nope.... :( | 18:49 |
| histo | ejer: well better said by the bot it avoids it in most cases | 18:50 |
| zbk22 | oo right | 18:50 |
| emorris | andare: sorry, replace ./install with sudo ./install.sh | 18:50 |
| xttocs | ejer: solutions for VMWare and virtualbox are both dirty, or just VMWare? | 18:50 |
| bobertdos | Odd-rationale: that makes me sad :( | 18:50 |
| Odd-rationale | there is also a gtk version of k9copy. but i forgot the name.... | 18:50 |
| andare | emorris: i did try the first part and it didn't work srry | 18:50 |
| cr0w | hi | 18:50 |
| emorris | andare: read my previous post | 18:50 |
| cr0w | for ubuntu..use konversation xchat or other ? | 18:51 |
| ejer | xttocs: both, try it, but not with any important data... expect big probs in windows | 18:51 |
| andare | odd-rationale i'll try k9copy but if i don't like it then i'll try someth'n else, how's that sound??? | 18:51 |
| emorris | andare: if you did that, then make sure you install any dependencies it lists when you run it | 18:51 |
| cr0w | help me please | 18:51 |
| Odd-rationale | andare: DVD95 is the gnome version of k9copy... | 18:51 |
| Lusule | can someone give me the name of the website you use to transfer files? | 18:52 |
| bobertdos | cr0w: I suggest Pidgin | 18:52 |

| andare | i don't know much about the termial comands just to let everyone know | 18:52 |
| cr0w | i use pidgin for msn.. | 18:52 |
| Odd-rationale | cr0w: ? | 18:52 |
| trippss | is there an easier way to install ie for wine in ubuntu under hardy than the ies4linux program or is that still the best way to do it? | 18:52 |
| Odd-rationale | !info dvd95 | 18:52 |
| andare | odd-rationale: thnkx i'll give it a shot | 18:53 |
| xttocs | well, wish me luck ejer | 18:53 |
| histo | trippss: I thought wine has ie built in now. | 18:53 |
| xttocs | I'm going to give VMWare a shot this time | 18:53 |
| emorris | andare: did you install the dependencies? | 18:53 |
| xttocs | VBox didn't do so hot when I tried it | 18:53 |
| ubottu | dvd95 (source: dvd95): DVD9 to DVD5 converter. In component universe, is optional. Version 1.3p0-0ubuntu1 (hardy), package size 262 kB, installed size 680 kB | 18:53 |

| andare | i'm new with us'n linux so i don't know what ur talk'n about srry emorris | 18:53 |
| trippss | histo, don't believe so. I don't see it anyway | 18:53 |
| zbk22 | xttocs: was your vbox machine using 100% cpu while the image was running? | 18:53 |
| nyaa | well howdy =) | 18:54 |

| bobertdos | cr0w: For example, I'm using it right now. | 18:54 |
| histo | trippss: I thought it had a stripped version but what are you trying to do? | 18:54 |
| emorris | andare: run sudo ./install.sh and it will tell you a list of dependencies | 18:54 |
| xttocs | pidgin for irc? yuck | 18:54 |
| Lusule | tried pidgin for IRC, prefer xchat | 18:54 |
| Soopa | orangepeelbeef: that worked :) | 18:54 |
| Soopa | thanks guys :) | 18:54 |
| charlesinCharge | I use ircII | 18:54 |
| xttocs | mirc via wine | 18:54 |
| histo | irssi | 18:55 |
| nyaa | with pidgin I used the buddies menu to add a channel, and then right clicked the channel to make it permanent. It was fairly useful | 18:55 |
| Tm_T | xttocs: oh boy, thats... have to wash my eyes | 18:55 |
| charlesinCharge | i dont mind pidgin for irc | 18:55 |
| orangepeelbeef | soopa: great =) | 18:55 |
| trippss | lol ies4linux sees wine-1.0 as an "old version" | 18:55 |
| Odd-rationale | trippss: yes. but it still works :) | 18:56 |

| ubottu | hal_v2: Please don't ask to ask a question, ask the question (all on ONE line, so others can read and follow it easily). If anyone knows the answer they will most likely answer. :-) | 19:15 |
| arooni | Flannel, what is TTY? if you do shred... & disown; doesnt that work too? | 19:15 |
| mesk | ejer, no ist an emty file for testing | 19:15 |
| Flannel | arooni: tty is ctrl-alt-f1 | 19:15 |
| Flannel | arooni: (ctrl-alt-f7 to get back to your GUI) | 19:16 |
| The-Compiler | !amarok | cr0w | 19:16 |
| ubottu | cr0w: Amarok is an audio player for Linux with an intuitive interface. The latest version is 1.4.8 (1.4.3 for Dapper LTS). Packages are available for Kubuntu at www.kubuntu.org See https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Amarok | 19:16 |
| cr0w | the-compiler.. apt-get install amarok ? | 19:16 |
| Flannel | arooni: You'd want to have it in a terminal you can view somewhere so you can check up on its progress (or at least, I would want to) | 19:16 |
| ejer | mesk: it should be recreated automatically afaik... do you have a dir in ~/.Trash ? | 19:16 |
| cr0w | i want try it | 19:16 |
| The-Compiler | cr0w: yup | 19:16 |
| bobertdos | Vixus: The pencil works with PNG's for me.......You're sure you're not somehow working on separate layers? | 19:16 |
| arooni | Flannel, yes agreed | 19:16 |
| mesk | ejer, no | 19:16 |
| arooni | Flannel, this doesnt happen as fast as i thought it would. it takes a few minutes to get to even 1G | 19:17 |
| mesk | ejer, i try to create a new but that down't work | 19:17 |
| Vixus | bobertos, yeah | 19:17 |
| hal_v2 | Amarok is not letting me add two mp4 cd's to my mp3 player (which can play mp4's) when I add it it goes in fine and looks like everything's good, but after I disconnect and open my player the music isn't there. If I reconnect it again the music has moved from the folder it started in to a folder at the bottom with no artist tags or album names.

| lionfish | Evening all. I bought a USB scope (DSO-2100 USB) a while ago. I've not been able to find any usb drivers for linux for it, so thought I'd look into writing my own. I've fallen at the first hurdle though: I thought I could modify one of the drivers already bundled, but I don't seem to even be able to compile them. I tried using the Makefile in the /usr/src/linux-source-2.6.22/drivers/usb/misc directory (eg: make usbled) | 20:25 |
| lionfish | and tried compiling a copy of it manually: gcc usbled.c -I /usr/src/linux-source-2.6.22/include -D__KERNEL__ -DMODULE -DCONFIG_M586 -DCONFIG_X86_L1_CACHE_SHIFT=7 -DCONFIG_HZ=250 -I /usr/src/linux-source-2.6.22/include/asm/mach-default -DKBUILD_MODNAME=\'dso2100\' - I get compile errors either way.

| niarbeht | Hello. I have a question concerning a Linux starter package of some sort a co-worker of mine picked up for an experiment involving possible compatability of a business application with WINE. This starter package of his is labelled "The Linux Starter Pack" and comes with some kind of cruddy manual. I am a Gentoo user at home myself, and I'm just wondering if anyone knows what the root password is for this dern thing. That it doesn't | 20:27 |
| Pici | !root | niarbeht | 20:27 |
| ubottu | niarbeht: Do not try to guess the root password, that is impossible. Instead, realise the truth... there is no root password. Then you will see that it is 'sudo' that grants you access and not the root password. Look at https://help.ubuntu.com/community/RootSudo | 20:27 |

| Mecha25 | voxicles, you have stumbled onto ubuntu's 2 worst points. if you have a hard reboot while installing packages, God help you. It happened to me once and I had to do a full reinstall to fix it | 20:28 |
| niarbeht | ubottu: How horrendously backwards, at least in my opinion. I'm tempted to tell them to switch to Gentoo. Anyway, thanks for that information. I may have to haul my laptop in for them to do this test then. | 20:28 |
| ubottu | niarbeht: Error: I am only a bot, please don't think I'm intelligent :) | 20:28 |
| Mecha25 | voxicles, the second is that dual monitors, while possible, took me 3 weeks of solid work to get going | 20:28 |

| spaceboy909 | Razor, try 'iwlist scan' at the terminal if you want a real time scan.......sometimes takes 2 or 3 times to pick them all up | 20:31 |
| DRebellion | th0r, you tell the sheep too much, they start to wonder about life outside the herd \o/ | 20:31 |
| boGGdy | ks3, in the taskbar, it shows no network | 20:31 |

| Mecha25 | voxicles: the trick to getting ATI to work with dual monitors is, get this, actually breaking your xorg.conf | 20:32 |
| boGGdy | i had no problem booting with livecd | 20:32 |
| th0r | DRebellion, is that anything related to "free as in beer or free as in speech?" | 20:32 |
| boGGdy | but now... it doesn't seem to see my network | 20:32 |
| tekchip | I'm trying to connect an Ubuntu 8.04 system to a public wireless system that uses a capture page with login to authenticate users. My Mac works fine as does every one elses winblows boxes. The Ubuntu system grabs an IP, DNS and Gateway address but will not bring up the capture/authentication page. I also can't ping anything but my own IP and the loopback. Any one care to take a stab? | 20:32 |
| Voxicles | lol, I kept trying to load my xorg ati driver, and it's not there | 20:32 |
| DRebellion | th0r, no, not really. | 20:32 |
| Mecha25 | voxicles: you have broken packages, one sec, there's 2 commands you can try, if those don't work, good luck | 20:32 |
| Mecha25 | for ATI, you have to have 2 "monitor" items in your "screen" section, which doesn't seem right to me | 20:33 |
| boGGdy | ks3, i'm connected through a router | 20:33 |
| DRebellion | tekchip, what do you mean "won't bring up the capture page"? | 20:33 |
| muppetexperience | I can't enable Desktop Effects, so I looked in the restricted river manager to see if I coud enable a driver. None available. What do I do? | 20:33 |
| ks3 | boGGdy, Are you trying to use wireless or wired? | 20:33 |
| boGGdy | ks3, wired | 20:34 |
| bobertdos | muppetexperience: What video card are you using? | 20:34 |
| Voxicles | My monitors only clone :-P So I've got the same thing on both. Odd that there are settings to fix it, but they don't work lol | 20:34 |
| bobertdos | boGGdy: When you say it can't see your network, does that mean your Windows shares? | 20:34 |
| tekchip | DRebellion: Pretty standard sort of system. No security on the AP. Get an IP by DHCP and then you're first request for a web page redirects you to a page that prompts you for a login/pass etc. Pretty common at Panera, Starbucks and the like. | 20:34 |

| Mecha25 | it should come up with Advanced Compiz Effects Settings | 20:56 |
| j800r | oo, i got settings manager. used it to turn on desktop cube. i still can't find 3d flip though :\ | 20:56 |
| DRebellion | balle_, sure, just download the flv file, and rip the sound off with something like mencoder. | 20:56 |

| Kernel | hello all. i used the netboot install method(cd drive is dead in the laptop) everything went fine untill i rebooted and realized that it installed the bootloader onto the usb drive. so not a big deal i installed grub onto the laptop drive..but when i rebooted to test it out...it just hangs....i used the alternative install cd and used the encrypted drive with lvm...so i know it created a seperate /boot ..but what i dont know is if i need to do anything | 22:57 |
| Kernel | special for it to work?.... | 22:57 |
| Mecha25 | KenBW2: the drive doesn't appear in your Places menu? | 22:57 |

| KenBW2 | Mecha25: yea, just about. if you dont like big apps | 22:59 |
| kevinO | billyholiday, ok try sudo mount /dev/sda/ | 22:59 |
| billyholiday | kevinO: my bad mad its an hda | 22:59 |
| Mecha25 | KenBW2: I can do that, sort of. You do a regular install from the live CD, target your USB drive, and make sure you put the bootloader on the drive, not your main disk, or your computer will be screwed | 22:59 |
| Mecha25 | I made that mistake the first time I tried | 23:00 |
| billyholiday | kevinO: i replaced /dev/sda/ with /dev/hda/ and igot this mount: can't find /dev/hda/ in /etc/fstab or /etc/mtab | 23:00 |

| Odd-rationale | !upgrade | billyholiday | 23:39 |
| ubottu | billyholiday: For upgrading, see the instructions at https://help.ubuntu.com/community/UpgradeNotes | 23:39 |

| billyholiday | muffin-stump: how would i go about doing that if i was on a live cd? | 23:39 |
| vaylence | I'm trying to install, get to the partitioner, but there is no partition listed, and none of the tabs on top work, ideas? | 23:39 |
| Sylphid | fidel_, im not seing a vmware tools package in the repos... are you sure thats the right package? | 23:39 |
| nickrud | Jadewolf, the problem is the removal of -imapd is trying to start the daemon, and fails. So, edit out the start. | 23:39 |
| glitsj16 | ryknow_: well there you are .. you can try mozilla-mplayer (depends on mplayer) which covers lots of the usual music mime types .. and flashplugin-nonfree for flash support | 23:39 |
| Dein | dokwerk: i am not on wireless, if that changes things | 23:40 |
| muffin-stump | billyholiday: On a live CD i'm not sure it's possible, except to download a new CD image of 8.04 and boot with that | 23:40 |

| ryknow_ | Ohh yeah, I have flash quicktime, shockwave, vlc, windows media player, divx, etc for plugins in Firefox. | 23:40 |
| billyholiday | muffin-stump: fudge, if i were to reinstall over 7.10 would all my files be gone? is there a way that ubuntu knows to save my files? | 23:40 |

| kapace | CAN'T, IM ON VNC | 23:42 |
| Wolfman2000 | that is, check out with svn checkout URL branch, update with svn update, etc | 23:42 |

| KenBW2 | i followed the instructions here http://www.pendrivelinux.com/2008/05/15/usb-ubuntu-804-persistent-install-from-linux/ to make a bootable peristent USB install but it's not persistent. Why not? | 23:55 |
| nickrud | ryknow_, looking for stuff. | 23:55 |
| histo | KenBW2: mount options on the drive | 23:55 |
| ryknow_ | ok. | 23:55 |
| nickrud | Jadewolf, were you able to at least uninstall dovecot-imapd ? | 23:55 |
| KenBW2 | histo: care to explain? | 23:55 |
| kiyiko | thanks | 23:55 |
| orsi | histo, ok, i just thought this might be something everyone is experiencing since the version in the repo is broken... | 23:55 |
| martin_ | is there a way to check which processor is in my laptop from ubuntu? | 23:55 |
| zvacet | martin_ : lshw | 23:56 |
| muffin-stump | zvacet: yes, exactly. I've only got one CD drive and I will probably need it while the session is running. | 23:56 |
| Jadewolf | Yea I fixed it | 23:56 |
| histo | KenBW2: I believe the usb people might be able to explain it. It probably is going to be when the its booted off of the usb drive it needs to change some sections to writable and save before shutting down. | 23:56 |
| histo | !usb > KenBW2 | 23:56 |
| ubottu | KenBW2, please see my private message | 23:56 |
| Jadewolf | Nickrud: just needed to make a new /etc/dovecot/dovecot.conf | 23:56 |
| zvacet | muffin-stump : I don´t think it is possible but I can be wrong | 23:56 |
| Jadewolf | I think my server is not allowing 110 port open yet... | 23:56 |
| nickrud | Jadewolf, that's one way to let it start | 23:56 |
| NoN|ck | !man | 23:57 |
| ubottu | The "man" command brings up the Linux manual pages for the command you're interested in. Try "man intro" at the command line, or see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/UsingTheTerminal | 23:57 |
| histo | orsi: maybe search the forums. But the people that make the app may have an update on their site. | 23:57 |
| martin_ | zvacet: thx it works | 23:57 |
| orsi | histo, ok, ill check. thank you | 23:57 |
| zvacet | martin_ :np | 23:57 |
| KenBW2 | histo: does this involve something in fstab do you reckon? | 23:57 |
| Jadewolf | nickrud: you know a way to see if something is blocking 110? | 23:58 |
| nickrud | ryknow_, dpkg -l libasound2 , are the first two characters on the line you get back ii ? | 23:58 |
| muffin-stump | zvacet: it's definitely possible. I used to do it all the time with Dapper | 23:58 |
| KenBW2 | histo: "8.04 Hardy: Unfortunately, there is a bug in the versions of casper in Hardy that cause the persistent partition to not be mounted on boot" | 23:58 |

| KenBW2 | histo: thats useful :P | 23:58 |
| martin_ | great | 23:58 |
| histo | KenBW2: look on the bug page perhaps there is a work around | 23:58 |
| Jadewolf | I am on the same machine | 23:58 |
| muffin-stump | zvacet: back then, there was an option in the CD's boot menu to copy to ram before booting, but not anymore. | 23:58 |
| mysticdarkhack | but it still crappy | 23:58 |
| zvacet | muffin-stump : like I said I can be wrong but I don´t know answer to your question | 23:58 |
| KenBW2 | histo: yea im there | 23:59 |

| ryknow_ | You want me to type dpkg -l libasound2 into a terminal/ | 23:59 |
| ryknow_ | ? | 23:59 |
| nickrud | Jadewolf, there should be nothing between you and the server if you're pointing at 127.0.0.1 | 23:59 |
| bobertdos | muffin-stump: https://wiki.ubuntu.com/BootToRAM; In Fedora, this functionality is actually built-in. | 23:59 |
