| ryknow_ | ok. I'll paste the the output. it doesn't start with ii. | 00:00 |
| zvacet | muffin-stump : do you have space to dual boot (just a suggestion) | 00:00 |
| nickrud | ryknow_, should only be one line that matters, last one: does that start with ii ? | 00:00 |

| Sanketsu | Daisuke_Ido: would that be done with "sudo apt-get install libspeex1" ? | 00:03 |

| nickrud | ryknow_, what version of ubuntu are you running? | 00:07 |

| nickrud | ryknow_, have you added any sound packages recently? | 00:08 |
| bobertdos | muffin-stump: What ARE you intending to do, anyway? | 00:08 |
| ryknow_ | Nope. | 00:08 |
| Blaqlight | cursome = cursor | 00:08 |
| ryknow_ | The only sound packages i added was when I setup my soundcard awhile back. | 00:08 |
| ryknow_ | But I'm pretty sure that it worked even after that. | 00:08 |
| ryknow_ | I'm not sure what caused it to stop. | 00:09 |

| muffin-stump | bobertdos: wouldn't YOU like to know ;) actually, its meant to run temporarily on a machine with no access to the HDD, and only one CD drive. It's a HUGE limitation having that drive stuck with the live CD in it, I cant copy anything from CD or write anything to a blank one. | 00:10 |
| Stargaters | Neither my CDs nor my external hard drive will play music through Rythymbox... I can use youtube though, to hear sounds. My speakers are working. Is this just Rythymbox being shitty, or...? | 00:10 |

| muffin-stump | bobertdos: that's viable, but only if the machine will allow booting from USB devices, which isnt as universal as booting from CD | 00:12 |

| rockenrola | will00: what does the .dat contain? | 00:12 |
| glitsj16 | ekow: for the login screen issue you will need to get a widescreen gdm theme ( www.gnome-look.org, art.gnome.org or similar ) | 00:12 |
| bobertdos | muffin-stump: true, and this system sounds somewhat dated | 00:13 |
| will00 | rockenrola, it contains an address book i imported using myphoneexplorer | 00:13 |
| mar77i_ | ryknow_, is this an issue with you or is this an issue with ubuntu? | 00:13 |
| ryknow_ | It's ubuntu. | 00:13 |

| rockenrola | sammino: I don't know | 00:20 |
| Sylphid | fwaokda, i would recommend virtualbox | 00:20 |
| bobertdos | muffin-stump: and even though you're more comfortable in debian distros, I'd advise that you keep your mind open to Fedora. The only huge differences are the use of RPM files, YUM (if you use the command line for package management at all) and using Livna for restricted packages. Other than that, it's pretty much the same. | 00:20 |

| muffin-stump | nickrud: in past releases like dapper, the liveCD had an option in the boot menu to do just that: it copied the entire CD to ram in a virtual drive volume of some sort, then booted and ran without needing the CD. it was great. | 00:34 |
| Flannel | muffin-stump: Ubuntu really isn't designed as a LiveCD (for liveCDs sake). There are some distros which cater specifically to being a liveCD, you may want to look into those. | 00:35 |
| muffin-stump | nickrud: it also ran MUCH faster, as it wasn't constantly reading from the CD or waiting for it to spin up again | 00:35 |
| nickrud | muffin-stump, don't remember seeing that myself, but I don't think I ran dapper livecd anyway | 00:35 |
| nickrud | I'll have to take a look when I get home, I have one floating around there | 00:36 |
| IndyGunFreak | muffin-stump: maybe knoppix is mroe to your liking, i think its geared towards being a live cd only, as opposed to being installed. | 00:36 |
| admin1 | Tiredwolf, i'm running L;inux ubuntu :P | 00:36 |
| Flannel | muffin-stump: or DSL, (or a number of others, depending on what you're using said liveCD for) | 00:36 |
| TiredWolf | admin1: then what with AVG? | 00:36 |
| Flannel | admin1: tons of connections isn't necessarily indication of anything bad, we'd need more information (the output of netstat, for instance) to be able to tell you anything further without it being pure speculation | 00:37 |

| Intrepid | My screen keeps blanking-out periodically when I'm running 3d applications. My card is nvidia and I have the proprietary drivers. | 00:37 |
| piko_water | hello | 00:37 |
| hvgotcodes | i installed hardy xubuntu on my new m1530 and the wireless is not workig, can someone help me trouble shoot this? | 00:37 |
| Flannel | Intrepid: ARe you on Intrepid? | 00:37 |
| Intrepid | on hardy | 00:37 |
| piko_water | is it possible to install apple mac on normal laptop | 00:37 |
| chuy_max | glitsj16, perl module already enabled, do you have to change perl extension to .cgi ? | 00:38 |
| muffin-stump | indygunfreak: knoppix is really beyond the scope of my original question, but yes, I could use that | 00:38 |
| crdlb | Intrepid: is it a mobile chip? | 00:38 |
| TiredWolf | piko_water: you can't install a computer on a computer | 00:38 |
| Elijah | what is the nvidia driver program called again | 00:38 |
| stemount^ | anyone have any idea where screensaver settings (the files / xml / whatever configs are)? | 00:38 |
| IndyGunFreak | muffin-stump: maybe, but you were asking about a distro that was geared towards just being a live cd(at least thats what i thought you asked), and Knoppix, well, thats what it is. | 00:38 |
| bastid_raZor | piko_water; via vmware is about the only choice | 00:38 |
| bastid_raZor | s/vmware/virtual machine/g | 00:38 |
| piko_water | oh ok | 00:38 |
| Mile5 | Bah, why can't I use chmod on a .run file? It says "Operation not permitted". -.-; | 00:39 |
| Elijah | i just installed ubuntu on a mac via VMware fusion! It is looking good | 00:39 |
| Intrepid | crdlb: i don't think so...though the exact model is '7300 LE' which I understand is a stripped down version | 00:39 |
| TiredWolf | Mile5: bcause it's not owned by you? | 00:39 |
| emhs | Anyone have any experience with a dv9930us or equivalent? | 00:39 |
| bastid_raZor | Mile5; use sudo | 00:39 |
| Mile5 | bastid_raZor: how? | 00:39 |
| muffin-stump | indygunfreak: actually, that's not what I asked for. I asked if anyone knew what parameter was needed to boot and run entirely from ram. I intentionally left other distro's out of the subject | 00:39 |
| stemount^ | emhs: I've used quite a few of the HP DV line on Ubuntu, why? | 00:39 |
| TiredWolf | Mile5: sudo chmode ... | 00:39 |
| TiredWolf | mod | 00:39 |
| bastid_raZor | Mile5; sudo ./file.run | 00:39 |
| hvgotcodes | please someone help with wireless? | 00:39 |
| bastid_raZor | Mile5; errr.. sudo chmod xxx file | 00:40 |
| IndyGunFreak | muffin-stump: ah ok, guess ir ead to much into the answers youw ere getting | 00:40 |
| emhs | Friend of mine is standing in circuit city right now, debating whether to buy one or not. | 00:40 |
| Mile5 | bastid_raZor: Doesn't work | 00:40 |
| Bodsda | Mile5, sudo chmod ### /.run | 00:40 |
| TiredWolf | !sudo > mile5 | 00:40 |
| ubottu | mile5, please see my private message | 00:40 |
| TiredWolf | !doesn't work | 00:40 |
| ubottu | 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. | 00:40 |
| glitsj16 | chuy_max: yes, and make sure you add Exec CGI in your virtual host file | 00:40 |
| stemount^ | emhs: I'd go for it, they are good machines | 00:40 |
| Mile5 | Nah, doesn't work. | 00:40 |
| bastid_raZor | Mile5; what does it tell you? | 00:41 |
| emhs | Danke, stemount^ | 00:41 |
| chuy_max | glitsj16, already done that, I get this when I try to run the file: You don't have permission to access /test.cgi on this server. | 00:41 |
| Mile5 | and when I try to use "sudo sh ###.run/" It just gives me a new line | 00:41 |
| TiredWolf | probably "doesn't work" | 00:41 |
| stemount^ | emhs: np | 00:41 |
| mar77i_ | what's the name of the text based install tool on the live cd? | 00:41 |
| TiredWolf | Mile5: perhaps it doesn't like that final "/" | 00:42 |
| TiredWolf | mar77i_: there is none that i know of. | 00:42 |
| TiredWolf | !alternate > mar77i_ | 00:42 |
| ubottu | mar77i_, please see my private message | 00:42 |
| Mile5 | TiredWolf: It's the same without it. | 00:42 |
| chuy_max | glitsj16, the handler is this: http://pastebin.com/m5fe1682b | 00:42 |
| glitsj16 | chuy_max: sounds like a permission problem .. chmod 755 your pl files | 00:42 |
| stemount^ | Mile5: that means it has run | 00:42 |
| stemount^ | sometimes :) | 00:42 |
| TiredWolf | Mile5: well you still haven't told us what "sudo chmod whatever filename" tells you | 00:42 |
| glitsj16 | chuy_max: ok, i'llhave a look, hold on | 00:42 |
| muffin-stump | indygunfreak: its okay, dont worry. I realize you're all trying to help and your ideas are valid ones. BUT. ubuntu is my preferred distro, hands down, because my experience with it has been almost completely positive no matter what hardware I try to use it on. I cant say the same for any others, especially (ironically) the dedicated live CDs. So my aim really is to learn what I need to learn in order to use my distro of choic | 00:42 |
| stemount^ | if it doesn't echo anything in the script | 00:42 |
| chuy_max | glitsj16, I did chmod 777, but still doesnt work | 00:42 |
| stemount^ | it might have done it, Mile5 | 00:43 |
| Mile5 | TiredWolf: Nothing. | 00:43 |
| Mile5 | Just a new line | 00:43 |
| TiredWolf | Mile5: then it worked | 00:43 |
| mar77i_ | TiredWolf, does the alternate cd have an ssh server installed? | 00:43 |
| TiredWolf | Mile5: when commands succeed, they don't say anything and just go to a new line. it's when the FAIL that they give you messages | 00:43 |
| TiredWolf | mar77i_: most likely not | 00:43 |
| TiredWolf | mar77i_: what prevents you from installing one though? | 00:43 |
| stemount^ | mar77i_: what do you mean? | 00:43 |
| mar77i_ | I'm working on it... | 00:43 |
| Mile5 | TiredWolf: Ok, thanks, but now I should have new graphic drivers then? | 00:43 |
| TiredWolf | Mile5: graphics driver? i only came in when you asked about chmod. | 00:44 |
| Mile5 | TiredWolf: Yeh | 00:44 |
| edju | How to get that "initiating startup sequence" ogg or wav that Knoppix has? | 00:44 |
| TiredWolf | Mile5: if, by any chance, you're trying to install nvidia/ati drivers from a .run file... then that's something i strongly discourage | 00:44 |

| BrandonS | Does anyone know if I can share a printer over a network to a windows computer? | 00:44 |

| TiredWolf | !nvidia > Mile5 | 00:45 |
| ubottu | Mile5, please see my private message | 00:45 |
| BrandonS | Can you point me in the right direction? | 00:45 |
| muffin-stump | edju: you could boot knoppix, then locate the folder the sounds are in and copy them to some drive? | 00:45 |
| mar77i_ | stemount^, I'm reinstalling my friend's pc over the net. that means, I'm forced to, because I fucked up his distro & sources | 00:45 |

| Stevethepirate | Hi, the icon's on my top panel won't move... how can I do this? | 00:47 |
| muffin-stump | Stevethepirate: right-click and uncheck the "lock to panel" | 00:47 |
| Bodsda | Stevethe1irate, right click on them, make sure the 'lock to panel' tick box is unticked | 00:47 |
| BrandonS | stemount^, Do you know of any tutorials that will show me how or can you tell me? | 00:47 |
| Stevethepirate | muffin-stump: I have | 00:47 |
| Mile5 | Ok, so now I have the newest drivers.. Now I can't adjust my screen to 1600x1200 and it doesn't recognize my screens.. | 00:47 |
| Stevethepirate | its not locked to panel | 00:47 |
| muffin-stump | Stevethepirate: if you're trying to move it to a different spot on the panel, everything between it and where you want it to go has to be unlocked | 00:48 |
| TiredWolf | Mile5: well, if you're using the newest drivers rather than the ones officially packaged in the repositories, then you might not get help if you're not lucky. | 00:48 |

| _2 | now. let me ask again. how do you control what the kernel spews on the console, is there a command or a config file ? | 00:51 |
| glitsj16 | chuy_max: in that case, take out both <files> blocks, as it is setup now it doesn't know that those .pl files are also to be handled as cgi-script | 00:51 |
| TiredWolf | ubuntu_: how would we know? | 00:51 |
| stuck1 | It's a Broadcom B43 wireless driver | 00:51 |
| BrandonS | ubuntu_ Someone just told me that on another network | 00:51 |
| Bodsda | ubuntu_, your choice, install either and you can install the other ontop of it and switch between the two | 00:51 |
| muffin-stump | stevethepirate: it could be that something is locking down all of your panels, in which case, poking around in gconf-editor might let you what you want. what if you make a brand new panel and add your icons to it? can you move them then? | 00:51 |

| rockenrola | stuck1: what have you tried so far? | 01:04 |

| stuck1 | lunaris: I use pidgin. :) | 01:06 |
| glitsj16 | Drk_Guy: tried ffmpeg (from medibuntu repo) yet for the mkv2avi conversion ? winFF (http://www.winff.org/) has a nice frontend to go with that .. | 01:06 |
| azexian | Sylphid that might help, perhaps if I update... | 01:06 |

I'm having an installation issue with ubuntu hardy heron... its on a machine with a hardware raid mirror configuration.... not trying to dual boot... just straight... flat out clear everything and install...

| azexian | Sylphid hopefully, if not I'm not too sure, when it's off, it charges fine, but when on, if it thinks it's full, the charge light goes off after awhile, and I have to take out the battery and put it back in to continue charging, very awkward | 01:11 |

| Milos | Guys, how can I add and then give a user priveleges to /var/www/ on ProFTPD? | 01:12 |
| legend2440 | stuck1: pretty sure you need to install b43-firmware_1.0-0cafuego0_all.deb to get it going. find it here http://ubuntu.cafuego.net/dists/hardy-cafuego/broadcom/ | 01:13 |
| bobertdos | isakey? | 01:13 |
| isakey | bobertdos: what? | 01:13 |
| histo | !user > Milos | 01:13 |
| ubottu | Milos, please see my private message | 01:13 |
| bobertdos | isakey: :p Okay, random people calling me........never mind :D | 01:13 |
| rockenrola | greg__: try gnome-panel | 01:14 |
| azexian | milos for any folder, you can change the permissions very easily like this: chmod 777 /folder to make it writable by all or: chmod -R 777 /folder for all subfolders too, remember to not do this too all folders, as you need permissions | 01:14 |

| Delts | Hey guys, just tried to watch a flash video in firefox and I was getting no volume from it. I'm using the adobe plug in | 01:14 |
| legend2440 | stuck1: actually bcm43xx-firmware_1.4-0cafuego1_all.deb is for hardy http://ubuntu.cafuego.net/dists/hardy-cafuego/broadcom/ | 01:14 |
| azexian | greg__: you can press alt+f2 to open the run diag, then type gnome-panel, from this point you will get a panel, you can right click on this, and click add panel to make another one, and then you need to add all the applets back | 01:14 |
| Milos | azexian, so I just add a user like this: adduser myuser and then chmod -R /var/www/ and then I can login with that user on FTP? | 01:15 |
| Bodsda | is there a recommended way to configure pulseaudio? | 01:15 |

| azexian | milos don't forget the premisson chmod -R 777 /var/www | 01:15 |
| Delts | Thanks, will do azexian | 01:15 |
| Schumbi | hi | 01:15 |
| azexian | Delts: np ;) | 01:15 |
| Bodsda | azexian, wwooh! 777 not good | 01:15 |
| Milos | Bodsda, why not. | 01:16 |
| Schumbi | somebody who knows how to teach gajim to communicate via IRC? | 01:16 |
| azexian | Milos not always good though, better off making it 700 for that user, or else all users can read and right, including bad peoples :p | 01:16 |
| greg__ | Azexian, Alt-f2 doesnt work nor did gnome-panel | 01:16 |
| Milos | azexian, Bodsda, I'm the only user ;) | 01:16 |
| azexian | greg__: ok, in that case you have done something very bad, can you login | 01:17 |
| SolarWar | does ubuntu place application core dumps somewhere special? | 01:17 |
| azexian | Milos will this be online? | 01:17 |
| bobertdos | Schumbi: Gaim is Pidgin now. Yes, we can help you with that. | 01:17 |
| Bodsda | Milos, 777 is read write execute to everyone, thats an extremely radical solution to a perms prob, and no your not, theres you and root | 01:17 |
| Milos | azexian, yep. | 01:17 |
| Milos | Bodsda, I'm root as well... | 01:17 |
| Bodsda | Milos, are you sure?? i doubt you are | 01:17 |
| rockenrola | greg__: are you sure you are in gnome. you haven't been experimenting with openbox or similar ? | 01:17 |
| Milos | o_o | 01:17 |
| Schumbi | bobertdos: not gaim but gajim :-) it is a jabber client | 01:17 |
| Milos | Bodsda it's my server >_> | 01:17 |
| greg__ | yes i am at my desktop and can access my documets, network etc, but not applications, settings etc | 01:18 |
| Milos | Bodsda, I'm logged in as root right now... | 01:18 |
| azexian | Milos ok, in that case you want to do this: sudo chown user /var/www and then you can chown 700 -R /var/www that way, only you can read-write to it | 01:18 |
| MattJ | Hi Schumbi, join channel%irc.freenode.net@irc.jaim.at | 01:18 |
| Milos | azexian, thanks! :) | 01:18 |
| soldats | Milos: never log in as root it is not needed | 01:18 |
| Bodsda | Milos, you activated the root password, why? | 01:18 |
| azexian | Milos np ;) | 01:18 |
| MattJ | Schumbi: more Jabber help is available in ##jabber :) | 01:18 |
| Milos | because maybe | 01:18 |
| Milos | when | 01:18 |
| azexian | soldats: it's a server, why would you want to be a user :p | 01:18 |
| Milos | you get a server | 01:18 |
| Milos | you can only | 01:18 |
| FloodBot1 | Milos: Please don't flood, use http://paste.ubuntu.com to paste, don't use Enter as punctuation. | 01:19 |
| Milos | login | 01:19 |
| greg__ | everything seems to be working ok apart from I have no panels?? | 01:19 |
| Milos | as that user | 01:19 |
| Schumbi | ah well thanks :-) | 01:19 |
| Milos | azexian, excellent response | 01:19 |
| AndrewGearhar2 | bobertdos: thanks... I'll check there first | 01:19 |
| glitsj16 | Bodsda: have you tried http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?p=4928900 yet for setting up pulseaudio ? there's also http://www.pulseaudio.org/wiki/PerfectSetup which provides general info on how to get all kinds of sound apps working with pulseaudio | 01:19 |
| gleaken | Is there any known problem with horiz scrolling with an apple mighty mouse in Hardy? I have edited my xorg.conf to mirror a 7.04 machine that they were working fine on, now, on the hardy install, the horiz won't work. The vertical scroll is fine and they are recognized. | 01:20 |
| azexian | I really think that this channel either needs to be split to ubuntu-desktop and ubuntu-server, or people need to understand the difference, servers need root, how ubuntu does it is not all that good, if someone has a user password, they can delete everything! on a server, you give the users very little rights, and do everything important as root, with a very strong password, that's just how it is done | 01:20 |
| Bodsda | glitsj16, i was just intrigued as to how easy it was to get it working, i find it easier just to uninstall the thing, but thanks for your links, they confirmed my thoughts | 01:21 |
| addernato1 | hey can someone help me please? :S | 01:21 |
| glitsj16 | Bodsda: no problem | 01:22 |
| azexian | addernato1: what's the prob? | 01:22 |
| addernato1 | i dont know how to install .tar.gz files | 01:22 |
| gleaken | is there any known issue with Guild Wars and Hardy, Again, I had it working in 7.04, now, it freezes and I have a heck of a time getting X back, it doesn't crash it, but locks it up for a good long while. This is on a GMA x3100 with compiz disabled because on 7.04, I found that running beryl and GW wasn't a good idea | 01:22 |
| Bodsda | azexian, if your doing everything as root, why the hell do you need to give the user rwe ? | 01:23 |
| azexian | addernato1: that sounds like source, you don't install source, you compile it, but first you must extract, to do this, just right click on it, and open with archive manager on desktop, or you can use the command line, from there,why you can then run it | 01:23 |
| Sylphid | azexian, there is an ubuntu-server channel | 01:23 |
| azexian | Bodsda: because users could be doing little tasks | 01:23 |
| glitsj16 | gleaken: don't have input on those specific issues, but you v-can always search bugs.launchpad.net for known issues with any ubuntu supported package | 01:23 |
| addernato1 | i have extracted it but there is no install file in it | 01:23 |
| azexian | Sylphid that needs to be put in the channel topic, I didn't know about it before, so I don't see why anyone else would | 01:23 |
| Bodsda | azexian, why not just use the user and sudo? | 01:23 |
| azexian | addernato1: ok, is there a MakeFile | 01:23 |
| addernato1 | no | 01:24 |
| Mile5 | Why doesn't my "Screen Resolution" thing in system preferences identify my screen? | 01:24 |
| bobertdos | addernato1: The thing to ask is, what IS this archive? | 01:24 |
| Dr_willis | addernato1, perhaps the programs homepage has some docs. | 01:24 |
| azexian | Bodsda: because you have to constantly type sudo if you are always doing root things, and it's pointless, if you have root, and then make user less secure, it makes more sense | 01:24 |
| azexian | addernato1: what is the program? | 01:24 |
| addernato1 | a game, its a remake of the mariokart double dash game for linux | 01:24 |
| Yon | hey hey | 01:25 |
| greg__ | Hey Guys, I think I just solved my own problem re "no panels" | 01:25 |
| azexian | addernato1: a rom? | 01:25 |
| azexian | glad to hear it greg__ were you in gnome? | 01:25 |
| Bodsda | azexian, how does it make more sense, just increase the sudo timeout and you type it once and you dont have to type it again for 30 mins (oir whatever you extend the timeout to) | 01:25 |
| Yon | i need a hand i have to sort a ls output to only show files that are less that 100kb in size | 01:25 |
| greg__ | I rebooted and changed the session to GNOME and "voila!! | 01:25 |
| azexian | Bodsda: what's the point in that, how is that any better then being root, you consider that more secure? | 01:25 |
| addernato1 | no it's not a rom | 01:25 |
| azexian | addernato1: ok, what is inside the archive? | 01:25 |
| bobertdos | azexian: (It may or may not be source code, actually. Source code usually comes in tar.bz2 files). | 01:25 |
| addernato1 | i read somthing on the forums about this and you have to complie it using ./compile? | 01:26 |
| azexian | greg__: glad to hear it =) | 01:26 |
| Yon | i think that i need to use "ls | find -size | 01:26 |
| Bodsda | azexian, yes, because after a time period you need the password, servers need to be secure, this is not achieved by giving 777 | 01:26 |
| Dr_willis | Yon, i belive 'find' can do it with out the need of ls. | 01:26 |
| azexian | addernato1: what is in that archive | 01:26 |
| greg__ | Can you use "alien" to install tar file in Debian/Ubuntu?? | 01:26 |
| azexian | bobertdos: I was suggesting 777 for one folder, not the whole server, I infact said don't do for whole server straight afterwards | 01:26 |
| rafaelscj | alien is fine | 01:27 |
| Yon | oh so how would it display al files as ls would in the cwd | 01:27 |
| Ahadiel | greg__, Alien is used for .rpm packages, however it's not recommended to do so. | 01:27 |
| azexian | greg__: alien is for rpm -- deb conversions | 01:27 |
| greg__ | Ok Thanks! | 01:27 |
| bobertdos | azexian: I think we're talking about two different people here, but never mind :) | 01:27 |
| Dr_willis | Yon, you could make find print only the names of the files that match your needs and pipe the list to the ls command.. perhaps. | 01:27 |
| Bodsda | azexian, 777 should never really be used, it is never necessary and activating the root password is definately not secure or necessary | 01:27 |
| Sylphid | greg__, tar files are archives you can extract them with the tar -x command | 01:27 |
| azexian | bobertdos: sorry, yeah :p | 01:27 |
| Yon | true thanks will try that | 01:28 |
| bobertdos | azexian: (gotta love the confusion of IRC traffic :P) | 01:28 |
| azexian | Bodsda: root is needed, users are silly with their password sometimes, which leads to insecurity, I would never give out my root password, but I wouldn't care if someone found out my user password AFTER I edited its rights | 01:28 |
| azexian | bobertdos: you both start with b, it was close enough :p | 01:28 |
| Sylphid | greg__, if it has another suffix after tar such as .bz2 or gz you will need to uncompress it with an extra option such as -j or -f | 01:29 |
| addernato1 | ok new problem lol | 01:29 |
| histo | azexian: well on a debian system with sudo your user password could be disasterous as well. | 01:29 |
| bobertdos | addernato1: Okay, what is the new problem? | 01:29 |
| azexian | histro that was my point, Bodsda is the one who suggests this against root and users with less rights | 01:29 |
| kdb424 | Sup | 01:29 |
| Bodsda | azexian, i just fail to see the point of having a weak password and a strong password when just a single strong password will do fine | 01:29 |
| histo | azexian: well its the same thing. | 01:30 |
| azexian | addernato1: please ask before pm'ing me, I'm talking to lots of people, so I can't help you for a bit, if you type it here someone else might be able to help you while I talk to others | 01:30 |
| thinman1189 | in ufw I need to allow a port range but it won't let me, any idea how? | 01:30 |
| addernato1 | ok sorry | 01:30 |
| histo | azexian: look at your user as root and the others as normal users. If you lose your acount your system is comprimised the same way if you lost your root. | 01:30 |
| kdb424 | Hey. I'm newer to ubuntu, and pretty much linux, and I was wondering if there are any programs that I should get? (this is a tripleboot system, and not my main OS. It's above windows, but lower than mac. Might beat mac though) | 01:31 |
| azexian | Bobsda the simple fact is, linux is multiuser, so you can't expect every user to have the respect or knowledge of the power of their password as you do | 01:31 |
| histo | !ask | addernato1 | 01:31 |

| rockenrola | jeeves__: what headphones issue ? | 01:35 |

| rockenrola | Mr_Fixit: try this page http://wiki.linuxquestions.org/wiki/Fstab | 02:19 |
| mandark | jeeves_ mine is a home pc not a laptop | 02:19 |
| Jeah | glitsj16: Yeah, I didn't see it in fsck, but I googled it and came up with -c. That's what you found, too? | 02:19 |
| isakey | jejones: ubuntu stores all kernels, you may just select previous kernel in a boot time | 02:19 |
| rockenrola | Mr_Fixit: if you have questions just ask | 02:19 |
| neil_d | jejones: can't you just tell grub to boot of the older kernel ? | 02:19 |
| jejones | Thanks, isakey. | 02:19 |

| MrBucket | Hello! | 02:27 |
| jeeves__ | azexian, yes, the system witll just freeze. next on my hit list is to find out why firefox keeps crashing and locking up, why evoulition crashes, and why the system will be accessing the disk for hours on end and bringing the system to a crawl | 02:27 |
| AMDpenguin | yeah so jfs is more fast than ext3 | 02:27 |
| Blaqlight | jeeves__: I had that problem last week | 02:28 |
| Blaqlight | jeeves__: open a terminal window and type ps ax and check to see how many firefox processes there are. | 02:28 |
| jeeves__ | Blaqlight, what one? the disk access? | 02:28 |
| Yoshi1 | i personally would like to know why npviewer keeps glitching | 02:28 |
| azexian | jeeves__: that sounds bad, how is the heat in the machine? all of that sounds like a heat issue, and the fact that it happens when you enable the drivers, but only AFTER 10 mins, makes me think the graphics card simply overheats, next time it locks up, quickly reset, go into bios, and check your temperatures | 02:28 |
| jeeves__ | Blaqlight, none are running right now | 02:28 |
| unop | AMDpenguin, faster* yes but not on all things - unless you are running something critical like a High-Availability database server or webservice, you won't feel the difference | 02:29 |

| ubottu | BCM43: Usually, there is no single "best" application to perform a given task. It's up to you to choose, depending on your preferences, features you require, and other factors. Do NOT take polls in the channel. If you insist on getting people's opinions, ask BestBot in #ubuntu-bots. | 02:44 |
| soul_786 | I use xchat without a problem | BMC43 | 02:44 |
| Elijah | name_name, yeah still having problems now | 02:44 |
| bobertdos | mharris_: There's no particular site. It all depends on what you want. What sorts of things are you wanting to install. | 02:44 |
| name_name | there is also chatzilla for firefox | 02:44 |
| unop | Milos, do you see anything highlighted in that output? | 02:44 |
| regeya | tmajibon: I wouldn't worry overly much about it. I forget the reason, but it seems like it doesn't matter how much ram you have, you'll use swap if it's available. has something to do with the way memory management works, but I don't remember what | 02:44 |
| Sylphid | btfx_, are you running any firewall rules? | 02:44 |
| BCM43 | FAJALOU: i did not ask for the best, just one | 02:44 |

| FAJALOU | BCM43: i believe that what it has to say is good, there is no best, just a reminder :) it's all about experementation. | 02:45 |
| btfx_ | does ubuntu do that by default Sylphid? | 02:45 |
| tmajibon | regeya, the problem is, my system is lagging and crashing because of it when I do some memory heavy stuff, even though I have enough memory to put all of it there | 02:45 |
| FAJALOU | tmajibon: do you have swap space? | 02:45 |
| jrolson | I'm wondering if anyone could help me with installing ubuntu on a laptop? | 02:45 |
| legend2440 | Voxicles: use sudo aticonfig | 02:45 |
| tmajibon | yes | 02:45 |
| Sylphid | btfx_, sudo iptables -L will show the firewall rules | 02:45 |
| glitsj16 | FAJALOU: looks okay .. and in software sources, first tab labeled 'Ubuntu Software' you can't activate the 'source code' entree ? | 02:45 |
| Odd-rationale | !install | jrolson | 02:45 |
| ubottu | jrolson: Ubuntu can be installed in a lot of ways. Please see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Installation for documentation. Problems during install? See https://wiki.ubuntu.com/CommonProblemsInstall. Don't want to use a CD? Try http://tinyurl.com/3exghs - See also !automate | 02:45 |

| ubottu | mharris_: medibuntu is a repository of packages that cannot be included into the Ubuntu distribution for legal reasons - See http://www.medibuntu.org | 02:45 |
| Elijah | Sylphid, you had a suggestion earlier for installing graphics drivers, right | 02:45 |
| regeya | tmajibon: if your system is crashing when you do memory-intensive stuff, I'd worry less about swap and more about your memory. | 02:45 |
| btfx_ | Sylphid: Thx | 02:45 |
| vanberge | anybody use banshee with last.fm ?? | 02:45 |
| FAJALOU | glitsj16: correct, it is set to a negative button | 02:46 |

| Luke_ | I'm gettin gthis error after the new kernel update: Failure registering capabilities with primary security module. | 02:46 |
| unop | Milos, well i'll guess xvfb is running on the first display. try this. import -window root -display servername:0 screenshot.jpeg | 02:46 |
| Sylphid | Elijah, nvidia-settings is another that i would recommend | 02:46 |
| Luke_ | anyone know waht that is? | 02:46 |
| tmajibon | ftr, I've got 1.4 gb of ram available, and 1gb of swap space. when I ran the program, it was using the full swap space, but only about 300 mb of ram | 02:46 |
| glitsj16 | FAJALOU: can't explain that, but perhaps try and change that by running it under sudo .. | 02:46 |
| FAJALOU | wait glitsj16 i stand corrected i can turn on sources now... | 02:46 |
| xTheGoat121x | glitsj16, looks like I might have to get that -rt kernel. | 02:46 |
| vanberge | MrBucket, try alt - tab | 02:47 |
| glitsj16 | FAJALOU: okay, no problem | 02:47 |
| Milos | unop, what does "Error: no display specified" mean? It happened while trying to execute "firefox -install-global-extension "pagesaverbasic-1.7.1.xpi" | 02:47 |
| Milos | " | 02:47 |
| regeya | I used to have flawless burns, the only time I would have a coaster is if the power went out. not so in the wodim-enlightened age | 02:47 |

| FAJALOU | glitsj16: so now i can click sources, but still no security. | 02:47 |
| AMDpenguin | is there a way to download podcasts? | 02:47 |
| Milos | unop, Ok I'll try that | 02:47 |
| MrBucket | vanberge: Thx.. I tried that. | 02:47 |
| unop | Milos, it means firefox isn't able to launch because you aren't launching it under xvfb | 02:47 |
| btfx_ | Sylphid: Looks empty to me, I never messed with iptables and assumed that no firewall stuff was on by default | 02:47 |
| glitsj16 | xTheGoat121x: well it's not a bad thing, just make sure you don't install the 2.6.24-20-rt from proposed, that's not working | 02:48 |

| Yanik | hi, could anyone help me making my 2nd network port works ? | 02:48 |
| name_name | plz halp | 02:48 |
| bobertdos | mharris_: You'll want medibuntu for w32codecs and libdvdcss2. You'll want the xine libraries and totem-xine, plus the DVDRead and dvdnav libraries for just about everything else. I recommend the beta of flash 10, because 9 has PulseAudio issues that make it rather incompatible with Hardy. | 02:48 |
| Milos | unop: -bash: import: command not found | 02:48 |
| AMDpenguin | !ext4 | 02:48 |
| ubottu | Sorry, I don't know anything about ext4 | 02:48 |
| CyberCod | name_name: you need to put it in /etc/fstab | 02:48 |
| kok0 | how do i edit 'Bookmarks' on folders? | 02:48 |
| tmajibon | the problem isn't that it's not using swap, it's that it's using it when it doesn't have to at the expense of stability | 02:48 |
| regeya | AMDpenguin: if you're listening to podcasts on your computer now, you're downloading podcasts...that's kinda the point of the things, you subscribe to a feed, your client downloads the necessary file :-) | 02:48 |
| name_name | CyberCod: what do I do edit in that file? | 02:49 |
| l3d | hI have a sony vaio and everything worked out great during install but after a reboot after the updates it wont boot passed the starting up screen something to do with apci error and i cant get passed it is there a way to fix it? | 02:49 |
| AMDpenguin | from the itunes store? | 02:49 |
| vanberge | MrBucket, do you need the app to run? or do you want to restart it? you could open a terminal and type "pkill appname" | 02:49 |
| xTheGoat121x | glitsj16, thanks for the warning. I discovered that if I turn off realtime in daemon.conf... it returns to choppy sound, without the hiccup. | 02:49 |
| unop | Milos, hmm, no imagemagick installed. does this give you anything? which xwd | 02:49 |
| vanberge | MrBucket, "pkill firefox" for example | 02:49 |
| vanberge | then you could just restart the app | 02:49 |
| CyberCod | name_name: sudo gedit /etc/fstab but first I'd look in /etc/mtab to see how it is currently mounted (it is currently mounted, right) | 02:49 |

| MrWGW | so would there be an aesy way, on a box with zero connectivity, to verify if the ethernet card works? | 02:59 |
| MrWGW | where easy == command line | 02:59 |
| MrWGW | some /dev file to read, some test program to run, something like that | 02:59 |
| Elijah | Sylphid, now it says "use kernel framebuffer device interface" | 03:00 |
| DysfunXionaL | i installed a Nvidia 6600GT 512 PCI-e card before installing 8.04, i've got envyng, downloaded nvidia-glx-new still not working right. Does a guy have to disable the onboard video?? | 03:00 |
| unop | MrWGW, assign an ip address to the card and ping it :) | 03:00 |
| name_name | see I got a launcher on the desktop to the mount point, and it wasn't working after a boot up unless I went to places --> disk | 03:00 |
| name_name | then it was mounted | 03:00 |
| name_name | and the link worked | 03:00 |
| MrWGW | the box has no connectivity | 03:00 |
| Milos | unop, this is very annoying, as soon as I start it, it says what display it's on, right, and as soon as I type something it says: /usr/bin/xvfb-run: 173: :1: not found | 03:00 |
| unop | MrWGW, that's how you test a card out | 03:00 |
| Luke_ | I'm gettin gthis error after the new kernel update: Failure registering capabilities with primary security module. | 03:00 |
| MrWGW | if the box can ping itself, does that mean the NIC works? | 03:00 |
| MrWGW | because it can | 03:00 |
| Elijah | DysfunXionaL, i am having same issue with 8800gt | 03:00 |
| unop | MrWGW, yes | 03:00 |
| MrWGW | ok superb | 03:00 |

| vanberge | anyone using banshee 1.0 ?? | 03:01 |
| YouKnowMeDontLie | join | 03:01 |
| bobertdos | axisys: Hmm, try it without a colon and designation. Also, are you using super user privileges? | 03:01 |
| MrWGW | the routing must be screwed up, because everything on this box checks out in terms of configurations et cetera | 03:01 |
| DysfunXionaL | Elijah: glad to join you | 03:01 |
| unop | Milos, what command did you use there? | 03:01 |
| Intrepid | in soviet russia, network configures you | 03:01 |
| LSD|Ninja | MrWGW: The transport layer stuff might still be screwed, no way to really test that without connecting it to something though | 03:01 |

| Blaqlight | unop: it seems idesk is broken too, it doesn't display a menu or anything, no way of controlling it. | 03:02 |
| MrWGW | what's the Ubuntu equivalent to "service network restart' ? | 03:02 |
| Sylphid | Elijah, is it asking you to select one? | 03:02 |
| Milos | unop, there's a :1 in both commands | 03:02 |
| unop | Blaqlight, welcome to the world of fluxbox - everything is done via editing files :) | 03:03 |
| unop | Milos, :1 in the xvfb-run command | 03:03 |
| axisys | bobertdos: ifconfig eth0-home create did not work | 03:03 |
| Elijah | Sylphid, yah, it went through a bunch of questions, i answered best i could | 03:03 |
| unop | Milos, keeping :1 in the import | 03:03 |
| Luke_ | how do I downgrade the proposed kernel that is broken? | 03:03 |
| Blaqlight | unop: time to dust off nano. | 03:03 |
| name_name | Cybercod: no the icons still there, but that another story, don't worry about it | 03:03 |
| Yanik | MrWGW: /etc/init.d/networking restart | 03:03 |
| MrWGW | ok | 03:03 |
| name_name | I deleted the part of fstab I have edited | 03:03 |
| Milos | unop, | 03:03 |
| Milos | import: unable to open X server `:1'. | 03:03 |
| * MrWGW pines for the elegance of "service network restart' | 03:04 | |
| MrWGW | alas | 03:04 |
| name_name | and saved and 'mount -a' | 03:04 |
| unop | Blaqlight, nano is frowned upon -- but yea .. :) | 03:04 |
| name_name | it works now | 03:04 |
| CyberCod | ok... if you reboot it will go back to the way it was | 03:04 |
| name_name | back to wut it was | 03:04 |
| Yanik | MrWGW you can also put up or down an interface like this: ifup eth0 ifdown eth0 | 03:04 |
| MrWGW | yeah I know | 03:04 |
| unop | Milos, try :0 | 03:04 |
| bobertdos | axisys: I can't seem to find the exact syntax, but create is what you want to use. | 03:04 |
| Blaqlight | unop: why it works... gedit is better? | 03:04 |
| Zoidfarb | Anyone, good app for creating/burning DVDs that'll play on a regular player? I'm looking for something like iDVD? | 03:04 |
| MrWGW | I want to restart the entire stack | 03:04 |
| CyberCod | name_name: but if you want it automounted, fstab is the way to go... I would just suggest you read a little bout that | 03:04 |
| Sylphid | Elijah, after answering them restart X | 03:04 |
| Elijah | Sylphid, it still says i don't appear to using a nvidia x driver in nvidia-settings | 03:04 |
| MrWGW | basically, I'd do a reboot if I could, but this IP KVM switch would disconnect | 03:04 |
| Milos | unop, | 03:04 |

| unop | Blaqlight, vim or emacs ftw | 03:04 |
| Elijah | Sylphid, i restarted x | 03:04 |
| name_name | ok maybe copy pasting the mtab wasn't a good idea | 03:04 |
| unop | Blaqlight, that's just preferential tho .. nano works if it works for you :) | 03:05 |
| soul_786 | Are there any differences between ubuntu and xubuntu in terms of things like the package manager and some of the gui based apps? besides xfce difference of course | 03:05 |
| Sylphid | Elijah, sudo less /etc/X11/xorg.conf | 03:05 |
| rockenrola | r0oter: do you have the Customlog command setup? | 03:05 |
| Blaqlight | emacs eh? I never thought to use it though... It didn't seem to do anything I wanted it too... perhaps its cause I hadn't used it enough? | 03:05 |
| unop | Milos, ok, i am not very aware of xvfb-run -- have a look in the manpage on how you can assign xvfb to a specific display | 03:05 |
| axisys | bobertdos: this is all I had to do ..wow | 03:06 |
| axisys | bobertdos: ifconfig eth0:0 10.0.0.2 up | 03:06 |

| mharris_ | hey for a new laptop how do i train the battery? | 03:06 |
| DysfunXionaL | # values from the debconf database and some overrides to use vesa mode | 03:06 |
| DysfunXionaL | You should use dexconf or another such tool for creating a "real" xorg.conf | 03:06 |
| mharris_ | should i let it drain all the way, charge, drain, a few times? | 03:06 |
| Elijah | Sylphid, it gave me a xorg.conf file i beleive in terminal | 03:06 |
| unop | Blaqlight, vim and emacs are quite powerful -- but there is a steep learning-curve to get through to harness their potential | 03:06 |
| olskolirc | can someone tell me what happened to kde-window-decorator in the repository | 03:06 |
| CyberCod | name_name: what kind of file system is it? | 03:06 |
| unop | Blaqlight, but that's a task for another day - when you have time to kill | 03:07 |
| Sylphid | Elijah, look for a line that says nvidia in it ..... if its wrong it will say nv or vesa | 03:07 |
| olskolirc | am I spelling it wrong or got the wrong program name? kde-window-decorator --replace& | 03:07 |
| Sylphid | Elijah, should be a device line | 03:07 |
| Blaqlight | unop: Ive noticed that when emacs has you do a lenghty tutorial to get you used to it, the learning curve is going to be quite steep heh | 03:07 |
| r0oter | rockenrola: do you mean CustomLog "/opt/var/apache2/log/access_log" combined | 03:08 |
| bobertdos | axisys: Yeah, when you don't give it a specific name, it just assigns an arbirary designation. | 03:08 |
| unop | Blaqlight, yea, though i am not very aware of emacs -- it's the same with vim. | 03:08 |
| rampage73 | ls | 03:08 |
| bobertdos | axisys: Debian believes in simplification :D | 03:08 |
| rockenrola | r0oter: yes. | 03:08 |
| DysfunXionaL | Sylphid, do i replace 'vesa' or 'nv' with something else?? | 03:08 |
| Elijah | Sylphid, i dont see either | 03:08 |
| m13 | test | 03:08 |
| rampage73 | test received | 03:09 |
| r0oter | rockenrola: thats the one I have for access_log.The weird thing it was working hours ago | 03:09 |
| hagabaka | is anyone else's system not starting with the latest kernel update? | 03:09 |
| Blaqlight | emacs actually has a psychotherapist built-in. haha Im liking this already. | 03:09 |
| rockenrola | r0oter: if you access your server, that file doesn't change ? | 03:09 |
| r0oter | rockenrola: I kinda been testing apache restarting it couple times and then no more... | 03:09 |
| m13 | thanks | 03:10 |
| Luke_ | how do I downgrade the proposed kernel that is broken? | 03:10 |
| Sylphid | DysfunXionaL, it should say nvidia if you have installed nvidia-glx-new..... if not do that first | 03:10 |
| Luke_ | I'm gettin gthis error after the new kernel update: Failure registering capabilities with primary security module. | 03:10 |

| Elijah | Sylphid, i did another previous command, (forget) and it rewrote the xorg.conf file and now has a driver line that says nvidia, however, I do a nvidia-settings and it still says i don't have nvidia x driver, this is after x restart | 03:14 |
| r0oter | rockenrola: http://pastebin.com/d20d393f8 | 03:14 |

| Elijah | Sylphid, i ran the nvidia-glx-new again and it says i have latest package | 03:16 |

| guy_ | have an odd problem thats just come up. I have a logitech wireless mouse with 8 buttons. Most just yesterday i rebooted the machine, and now when i push the "up" button above the scroll wheel its sends button 4 as it should, but then sends a button 8(thumb) when i release | 03:23 |
| Majost__ | Does anyone know what application handles the volume on-screen display for gnome and/or kde? | 03:23 |
| guy_ | how can i tell linux to ignore that button 8? | 03:23 |
| Elijah | Sylphid, when i run sudo nvidia-config it says command not found | 03:23 |
| unop | Milos, not sure then | 03:23 |
| Milos | unop, it's staying open like when you tail -f things I think | 03:23 |
| Ahadiel | Elijah, I believe it's sudo nvidia-xconfig | 03:23 |

| bobertdos | DavidCanarias: *using | 03:24 |
| guy_ | any ideas on a mouse throwing out extra button presses? I used "xev" to find out whats going on, and it clearly reports every time i push the mouse up button it repeats button 4, untill i let go and it sends a button 8. I really need to stop that button 8 because every time i scroll up when i release my browser goes back(the button 8 thumb command) | 03:25 |
| Elijah | Sylphid, ok i fixed the x, ran the command restarted x server and ran nvidia settings, it gives same message | 03:25 |
| DavidCanarias | bobertdos - hi again! Not sure what you mean, sorry | 03:25 |
| Sylphid | DysfunXionaL, restart X by ctrl + alt + backspace | 03:25 |
| DysfunXionaL | Sylphid, did that it logged me out | 03:26 |
| Sylphid | Elijah, did sudo nvidia-xconfig give any error | 03:26 |
| Sylphid | DysfunXionaL, thats normal | 03:26 |
| DavidCanarias | In applications - internet appearsSun Java 5.0 web start and then Sun Java 6 web start. I wanted to delete them but they don't appear anywhere | 03:26 |
| DysfunXionaL | ok | 03:26 |
| Elijah | Sylphid, sudo nvidia-xconfig worked good, it made a backup too | 03:26 |
| guy_ | i tried using imwheel to deal with the extra button presses, but imwheel seems to be too high level as it thinks the up button release really is me pressing button 8, where would i go lower level to debug this? | 03:26 |
| Sylphid | DysfunXionaL, try running nvidia-settings now | 03:26 |
| bobertdos | DavidCanarias: You said you have 5 and 6. So are some apps using 5 and others using 6? Or are you saying you don't know which one to use? I guess I'm the confused on here. | 03:26 |

| echosystm | um, the ubuntu alternate cd used to have an "install text mode system" option | 03:27 |
| rockenrola | r0oter: where does it say that? | 03:27 |
| echosystm | so it installs a base os, with no gui etc. | 03:27 |
| echosystm | this is no longer there on 8.04?? | 03:27 |
| DavidCanarias | bobertdos. I'm confused too then and don't know why I have 2 of them | 03:27 |
| r0oter | rockenrola: http://pastebin.com/d20d393f8 the commented lines | 03:27 |
| DavidCanarias | bobertdos - that's why I wanted to delete and start again - Can I? | 03:27 |
| Sylphid | Elijah, try rebooting the machine if possible ... maybe the module didnt load properly | 03:27 |
| DysfunXionaL | Sylphid, said not using the driver, says just run `nvidia-xconfig` as root) | 03:28 |
| guy_ | have an odd problem thats just come up. I have a logitech wireless mouse with 8 buttons. Just yesterday i rebooted the machine, and now when i push the "up" button above the scroll wheel its sends button 4 as it should, but then sends a button 8(thumb) when i release. I really need to ignore that extra button because now every time i scroll up the browser also gets a back command | 03:28 |
| Elijah | Sylphid, i have a backup from before problems happened, my vmware tools install made it, i am gonna restore that quic | 03:28 |
| bobertdos | DavidCanarias: Okay, time to clear this up. I want to know which ones we're dealing with. Admittedly there are a lot of different Javas :D. Go to the terminal and type: sudo update-java-alternatives -l | 03:28 |
| whta | my awn is broken and i can't completely uninstall it through synaptic. anyone know what i have to delete to get it fully removed? | 03:28 |

| Elijah | LogicalDash, thanks | 03:34 |
| bobertdos | Yanik: When you type ifconfig in the terminal, how many interfaces does it show? | 03:34 |
| ManualOverDozer | just wondering: how many people run into issues, where thier wireless works on 7.x and not on 8.x ? | 03:34 |
| Elijah | i restored my earlier xorg.conf and my resolution is still maxed at 800x600 | 03:34 |
| Yanik | bobertdos: i see both, eth0 and eth1 (the one that bugs) + lo | 03:34 |
| DavidCanarias | bobertdos - java 1-5 then java 6 open 6 sun java jgc 1042 does that mean anything | 03:34 |
| bobertdos | DavidCanarias: Is /usr/lib/jvm/java-sun-6 one of them? | 03:34 |
| Elijah | i just restarted the vm | 03:34 |
| Elijah | restarting the vm worked great! full resolution! | 03:35 |

| xTheGoat121x | glitsj16, awesome. Yah, it's really bothering me. I can achieve hiccup-free playback, but only with scratchiness... so it's a choice of choppy playback or a hiccuping computer. | 03:35 |

| crdlb | Elijah: then you can't use compiz, and the nvidia driver will not work | 03:37 |
| rafaelscj | unop, but the owner hasn't changed | 03:37 |
| Elijah | installing vmware tools was a huge pain | 03:37 |
| DavidCanarias | bobertdos - dont understand paste.ubuntu.com | 03:37 |

| DeadKennedy2880 | sup all! ive wanted to make my sound output louder (preamp?) for a while now, with no luck. i use rhythmbox for music but couldnt find a way to preamp it like VLC, since theres no EQ settings. anyone have any suggestions? | 04:24 |
| unop | Yanik, and give us the url that returns. | 04:24 |
| jeeves__ | anyone? fan control under Ubuntu? | 04:25 |

| krazy-h | I already done it | 04:25 |
| IcemanV9 | hmm .. there isn't pastebinit for dapper :-/ | 04:25 |
| bigred | quick question after pressing ctrl-alt-f1 how do you get back the display? | 04:25 |
| unop | Yanik, did you say eth1 was the second port? | 04:25 |
| bazhang | krazy-h, need the url of your sources.list at paste.ubuntu.com (not errors) | 04:26 |
| owen1 | i am trying to muout my shuffle and get wrong fs type, bad option, bad superblock on /dev/disk/by-id/usb-Apple_iPod_000A2700114C7EF1, missing codepage or other error | 04:26 |
| owen1 | here is my dmesg: http://pastebin.com/d7a111ffd | 04:26 |
| krazy-h | OK | 04:26 |
| Yanik | unop: yeah, i just changed it to test dhcp tho, it didnt find the dhcp server, i will set it back as it was and redo a pastebin | 04:26 |
| bex | what do i need to install a .tar.gz file? | 04:26 |
| bazhang | bex what file | 04:26 |

| svh | puting in a tv card in my computer will that help me ge linux mce going in wy home | 04:26 |
| bigred | thanks | 04:26 |
| bex | bazhang: it is a driver | 04:27 |
| Joeseph | great. now that I have midi working I have to figure out how to read a midi file by the byte messages. woohoo.... | 04:27 |
| bazhang | bex for what | 04:27 |
| portablejim | Has anyone gotten e-Sword to work through wine? | 04:27 |
| krazy-h | bazhang: http://paste.ubuntu.com/30181/plain/ | 04:27 |
| bazhang | portablejim, check appdb | 04:27 |
| DeadKennedy2880 | bigred - good question, ive wondered that too | 04:27 |
| Cholito | I want to install neftags2jpg which needs exiv2 to be installed. the only doc for doing it is this: "To compile neftags2jpg, download and install exiv2" | 04:27 |
| unop | Yanik, you'll also notice that there is no route for the 192.168.0 network - it might be worth setting that | 04:28 |
| bex | bazhang: for a tv tuner card | 04:28 |
| pmcoleman | No on e-Sword. I finally started using GnomeSword it works well enough | 04:28 |
| svh | puting in a tv card in my computer will that help me get linux mce going in my home | 04:28 |
| bazhang | krazy-h, why do you have mixed dapper and hardy repos | 04:29 |
| Cholito | after downloading neftags2jpg and running the "make" file, I get this errors: http://paste.ubuntu.com/30185/ | 04:29 |
| WatchDragon | ok im trying to "make" a package, the installation file says thats all i need to type, but i get make: *** No targets specified and no makefile found. Stop. | 04:29 |
| Yanik | unop: ya thats weird, http://pastebin.com/f212bb236 | 04:29 |
| krazy-h | bazhang, cause i understand nothing about that, i'm new hier :D | 04:30 |
| nickrud | WatchDragon be sure you're running make from inside the directory where the makefile is | 04:30 |
| bazhang | krazy-h, what version are you using dapper or hardy and how did your sources.list get so | 04:30 |
| Pedrolito | Everytime I log out, my compute hangs, and I have to hard reboot it. What's up with that? | 04:31 |
| krazy-h | Wait ..; | 04:31 |
| krazy-h | I'm using hardy | 04:31 |
| krazy-h | 8.04 | 04:31 |
| IcemanV9 | krazy-h: did u upgrade LTS to LTS? maybe that's why your sources.list got messed up? | 04:31 |
| bazhang | krazy-h, let me get you a new sources.list | 04:32 |
| Ogata | hi, i couldnt find this information in ubuntu-faq. what is the name of the program that shows a image and a progress bar during the boot process? (not grub' splashimage). I would like to custom that image but I dont even know the programs name. | 04:32 |
| WatchDragon | configure: error: C compiler cannot create executables | 04:32 |
| krazy-h | ok | 04:32 |
| WatchDragon | do i need to install GCC or something | 04:32 |
| nickrud | WatchDragon sudo apt-get install build-essential | 04:32 |
| debian_akroyd | Ogata, ive heard its called usplash | 04:32 |
| debian_akroyd | Ogata, but the program idk | 04:32 |
| unop | Yanik, I am not sure this routing setup is appropriate - what was the route command you issued to set the route for 192.168.0./24? | 04:32 |
| nickrud | !usplash | Ogata | 04:32 |
| ubottu | Ogata: To select the usplash artwork you want, use "sudo update-alternatives --config usplash-artwork.so && sudo update-initramfs -u" - See https://help.ubuntu.com/community/USplashCustomizationHowto for adding your custom artwork | 04:32 |
| bazhang | http://aphroneo.net/sources.list krazy-h replace old one with this (only to be used if you are really on hardy) | 04:33 |
| \kG | hmm | 04:33 |
| davidm | New Install - been using it for 1/2 day. Last activity: installed a USB printer & openSSH -- now when I reboot, I end up with an all-white screen. Any ideas? | 04:33 |
| unop | WatchDragon, install build-essential | 04:33 |
| Yanik | unop: i feel a bit noob but i didnt use route, just ifup eth1 | 04:33 |
| Ogata | debian_akroyd, nickrud: oh, thanks a lot! I'll read about that in no time. :) | 04:33 |
| WatchDragon | unop: configure: error: *** uuid library (libuuid) not found | 04:33 |
| unop | Yanik, ok. pastebinit < /etc/network/interfaces # then | 04:33 |
| debian_akroyd | Ogata, np | 04:33 |
| WatchDragon | is that in the repositories? | 04:34 |
| krazy-h | but how can i add it ? | 04:34 |
| unop | WatchDragon, what are you building? | 04:34 |
| rhanna | where can I find the Ubuntu directory structure layout and what it contains by default? | 04:34 |
| WatchDragon | gparted 0.3.8 | 04:34 |
| Yanik | unop: http://pastebin.com/f22f788c7 | 04:34 |
| Flannel | rhanna: http://www.tldp.org/LDP/Linux-Filesystem-Hierarchy/html/index.html | 04:34 |
| Flannel | !filesystem | rhanna | 04:35 |
| ubottu | rhanna: An explanation of how files and directories are organized on Ubuntu, and how they can be manipulated, can be found at https://help.ubuntu.com/community/LinuxFilesystemTreeOverview | 04:35 |
| nickrud | WatchDragon install uuid-dev (although why you are compiling gparted I have no idea) | 04:35 |
| bazhang | WatchDragon, why compile that ; it is the repos | 04:35 |
| rhanna | Flannel, WILL IT SHOW WHERE uBUNTU DEVIATES IN STRUCTURE OVER OTHER DISTROS? | 04:35 |
| rhanna | oops sorry caps | 04:35 |
| bazhang | rhanna, caps | 04:35 |
| WatchDragon | bazhang: the repo is outdated | 04:35 |
| krazy-h | Now i see :D | 04:35 |
| nickrud | !latest | WatchDragon | 04:35 |
| ubottu | WatchDragon: A higher version number does not mean that it's better. Especially with packages such as the linux kernel. The packages in the Ubuntu repositories are stable and will work fine. You should have a better reason than "newer" when considering compiling from source or using 3rd party repos. | 04:35 |
| Flannel | rhanna: No, but you're welcome to ask any questions you have here. | 04:35 |
| unop | Yanik, and i am assuming 192.168.0.1 (your router perhaps?) is online? | 04:36 |
| unop | Yanik, ping -I eth1 192.168.0.1 # try this out | 04:36 |
| Yanik | unop: actually i have no router, just a switch, so this line is kinda usless | 04:36 |
| unop | Yanik, ok, then ping someother host on this network | 04:36 |
| Yanik | unop, thats what im unable to do hehe PING 192.168.0.142 (192.168.0.142) 56(84) bytes of data. | 04:37 |
| Yanik | From 192.168.0.7 icmp_seq=2 Destination Host Unreachable | 04:37 |
| unop | Yanik, actually test if you can ping eth1 itself. ping -I eth1 192.168.0.7 | 04:37 |
| jeeves__ | does anyone here have any ideas on how to fix the GPU fan issue? my lappy is running @ 102F for the HDD, 118F for the CPU, 138F for the GPU, and 122F ambiant | 04:37 |
| WatchDragon | nickrud: 0.3.5 is in the repos.. but 3.0.8 isnt, and 3.0.8 supports NTFS parts | 04:37 |
| davidm | New to Ubuntu - where might I find a file that controls the screen? I can get to commandline, but I've lost my X. Any ideas? | 04:37 |
| nickrud | WatchDragon now that's a reasonable reason ;) | 04:38 |
| Yanik | unop: this works: PING 192.168.0.7 (192.168.0.7) from 192.168.0.7 eth1: 56(84) bytes of data. --- 64 bytes from 192.168.0.7: icmp_seq=1 ttl=64 time=0.033 ms | 04:38 |
| unop | Yanik, is it safe for you to take eth0 down temporarily? | 04:38 |
| unop | cool | 04:38 |
| nickrud | WatchDragon but since I have no ntfs partitions, I'll stick with the repo | 04:38 |
| Yanik | unop: i could but i couldnt get it backup without going to the datacenter | 04:38 |
| rhanna | Thanx Flannel, I started with 6.06 left for a bit and now playing with 8.04. Bought the Official Ubuntu Book to support the developers since I found Ubuntu matured to a distro worth looking at as a serious replacement for Windows desktop and server but there's still a few things missing in the book :-) | 04:38 |
| WatchDragon | i would too, but im formattign a drive im gonna be using at work (windows XP machines) and home | 04:38 |
| solexious | [Q] Why do I get "The following packages have been kept back:" when doing an apt-get upgrade? | 04:39 |
| krazy-h | GOODNIGHT :D | 04:39 |
| jeeves__ | Flannel, hey man, I'm havin' a melt down over here. LOL | 04:39 |
| ice_cream | would you say ubuntu has a slow bootup? | 04:39 |
| ice_cream | the thought occurred to me one day when i was playing with VMs... | 04:39 |
| debian_akroyd | krazy-h, gnite | 04:39 |
| ice_cream | given, it makes up for that speed loss with the package-based precompiled system.. | 04:39 |
| unop | Yanik, right i see. sudo arping 192.168.0.142 | 04:39 |
| nickrud | WatchDragon a good rule of thumb: aptitude search <lib> | grep dev to find missing library headers; I did aptitude search uuid | grep dev to find the last one I gave you. Works 90+% of the time | 04:39 |
| Yanik | unop: ARPING 192.168.0.142 from 64.15.77.7 eth0 (then it freezes) | 04:40 |
| Yanik | it looks like it tries to ping with my public ip | 04:41 |
| mroc | quick ssh question. i ssh directly to a router, then ssh again to a computer behind it. clearly, that establishes a link between my computer and the computer behind the router. how can i transfer files between them (graphically through nautilus or by command line)? | 04:41 |
| unop | Yanik, ctrl+c to kill it. then. sudo arping 192.168.0.142 | 04:41 |
| unop | oops | 04:41 |
| unop | Yanik, ctrl+c to kill it. then. sudo arping -I eth1 192.168.0.142 | 04:41 |
| jeeves__ | Flannel, you still there? | 04:41 |
| Yanik | just did, still froze: ARPING 192.168.0.142 from 192.168.0.7 eth1 | 04:41 |
| Rug | Howdy all | 04:42 |
| debian_akroyd | evening Rug | 04:42 |
| unop | Yanik, hmm. apr -a | pastebinit | 04:42 |
| Flannel | !scp | mroc | 04:42 |
| ubottu | mroc: SCP is a secure way of copying files across networks using !SSH. Usage: scp filename user@host:filename - WinSCP is a client for Windows, available at http://winscp.net/ | 04:42 |
| xtknight | i notice that it takes awhile for the volume control in gstreamer apps to respond. why is this/ | 04:42 |
| nickrud | solexious could be several reasons, but most likely is some package necessary to complete the upgrade isn't available | 04:43 |
| Yanik | unop: you mean arp? Error no arguments specified! | 04:43 |
| Flannel | jeeves__: https://wiki.ubuntu.com/DebuggingACPI#head-2cecceeef3745c2312a634e75dbb0a59d52cb208 help any? | 04:43 |
| Rug | I am trying to install 8.04.1 from scratch and the xserver is not working right. I am getting garbage on the screen, and it is unusable. | 04:43 |
| unop | Yanik, oops, yea. arp | 04:43 |
| WatchDragon | nickrud: is waht you type somethign to keep all the libs p to date? seems like this thing keeps tellign me things are outdated | 04:43 |
| andrew[andrboot] | Hi; i have an installed copy of ubunut 8.0.4 with al my gear on it... how do i transfer it to a new hdd | 04:44 |
| Yanik | unop: looks like its missing an argument | 04:44 |
| ice_cream | 8.04* | 04:44 |
| unop | Yanik, arp -a | 04:44 |
| solexious | nickrun, this is what its holding back bind9-host dnsutils libbind9-30 libisccfg30 linux-image-server linux-server openssh-client openssh-server | 04:44 |
| nickrud | WatchDragon could be the version of gparted you're trying to make depends on later versions of libs than are in ubuntu. ubuntu isn't meant to support bleeding edge compilation | 04:44 |
| WatchDragon | nickrud: i love bleeding though =( | 04:45 |
| debian_akroyd | Rug, was that immediately after the install? or did you install drivers afterwards | 04:45 |
| nickrud | WatchDragon then debian unstable or gentoo or some other bleeding edge distro would be better for you | 04:45 |
| Yanik | root@supercams:/home/yanik/driver/tg3-3.85l# arp -a | pastebinit | 04:45 |
| Yanik | Error no arguments specified! | 04:45 |
| jeeves__ | Flannel, looked @ it allready. nothing good in there. | 04:45 |
| mroc | Flannel: thank you for the suggestion. i've played with scp just a little bit, but i can't seem to figure out the right syntax. it's not port forwarded through the router, i ssh to the router itself and then ssh to the computer behind it. i can't figure out how to do that with scp. is there any way to make use of the connection already established after i do the ssh connections? | 04:45 |
| nickrud | WatchDragon might be better, I mean | 04:45 |
| Rug | debian_akroyd: no drivers, first reboot after install. | 04:45 |
| jacob_n | In hardy, is it possible to downgrade the Japanese fonts to what they looked like in gutsy and earlier? | 04:46 |
| Yanik | (unop) hehe forgot to write your nick | 04:46 |
| WatchDragon | nickrud: kidding ;P | 04:46 |
| Addernator | hey i need help | 04:46 |
| unop | Yanik, does arp -a work on it's own? | 04:46 |
| andrew[andrboot] | hmm | 04:46 |
| andrew[andrboot] | i wonder if ghost will work | 04:46 |
| nickrud | solexious you can do sudo apt-get dist-upgrade --dry-run to see what might be necessary. No changes will be made to your system. | 04:46 |
| nickrud | WatchDragon I used to run unstable so I could do the bleeding edge stuff, but I only have some faint scars left. Almost completely healed, mentally ;) | 04:46 |
| debian_akroyd | Rug, what video card are you using atm on that system? | 04:47 |
| Rug | Nvidia 6600 | 04:47 |
| Addernator | can some one help me please? | 04:47 |
| wols | !ask | Addernator | 04:47 |
| ubottu | Addernator: 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. :-) | 04:47 |
| g-unot | hello | 04:47 |

| g-unot | SeveredCross, ive tried it | 04:48 |
| Yanik | sorry FloodBot1 lol | 04:48 |
| SeveredCross | g-unot: Hmm. | 04:48 |
| HorizonXP | any ideas why sound would stop working after a few hours of the system being on? | 04:49 |
| Addernator | that doesent answer me question | 04:49 |
| Rug | debian_akroyd: 7.10 | 04:49 |
| Flannel | Dr_Link: use hjkl to move around instead of the arrow keys | 04:49 |
| Dr_willis | Addernator, I normally install the nvidia-settings, and nvidia-xconfig tool and use them to enable twinview. (you want to use twinview, not xinerama) | 04:49 |
| WatchDragon | nickrud: i needed libgtkmm-2.4-dev | 04:49 |
| Addernator | i can get them to work using sudo nvidia-settings | 04:49 |
| Yanik | this plaste.ubuntu.com is elite | 04:49 |

| aarcane | okay, what the hell is wrong with Ubuntu, I've been trying to remove some items from my session, and they keep reappearing, and refuse to stay gone. | 04:49 |
| Addernator | but i cannot get the resolution of the second screen to 1024x786 | 04:49 |
| debian_akroyd | Rug, But you can run it from the live cd and it works fine | 04:49 |
| Rug | debian_akroyd: yes | 04:49 |
| debian_akroyd | Rug, sounds like something from your xorg.conf file. | 04:50 |
| aarcane | I absolutely do NOT want gnome to try to start it's window manager, I'm trying to use Enlightenment, and Ubuntu/Gnome keep refusing to get the hell out of the way. | 04:50 |
| Rug | debian_akroyd: heck it was running fine last week with 8.04 | 04:50 |
| aarcane | is there any way I can tell it "just stop already damnit" | 04:50 |
| Blaqlight | .help | 04:50 |
| Dr_Link | So why MUST this file be edited with visudo, Flannel? | 04:50 |
| g-unot | SeveredCross, it says it cant find the audioformat | 04:50 |
| emhs | Anyone had trouble using SSH with bcm43xx? | 04:51 |
| jeeves__ | Flannel, any other ideas? my GPU is now sitting @ 142F | 04:51 |
| Flannel | Dr_Link: Because if you break it, you can't use sudo, which means unbreaking it requires a reboot | 04:51 |
| debian_akroyd | Rug, Have you tried booting into single user, downloading and installing the driver? | 04:51 |
| Rug | debian_akroyd: I am just re-install xserver right now, so give me a second to test some other things | 04:51 |
| g-unot | emhs, no | 04:51 |
| emhs | Hmm... | 04:51 |
| Flannel | jeeves__: I have no idea | 04:51 |
| Addernator | i dont have the 1024x786 resolution option on my second monitor how do i get it without messing everything up? | 04:51 |
| g-unot | emhs, i have bcm43xx | 04:51 |
| aarcane | Dr_Link, because you're not smart enough not to screw it up without using visudo. | 04:51 |
| nickrud | aarcane depending on how you installed enlightenment, you should be able to choose it from the options->sessions in the login screen. | 04:51 |
| Dr_Link | I just need to type a command. | 04:51 |
| g-unot | emhs, however i use b43 | 04:51 |
| nickrud | aarcane if it's set to gnome, of course you get gnome | 04:51 |
| Dr_Link | newuser ALL=(ALL) ALL | 04:51 |
| aarcane | nickrud, duh, I want a hybred environment. | 04:51 |
| Dr_Link | Is that so bad? | 04:51 |
| debian_akroyd | Rug, ok | 04:51 |
| g-unot | emhs, much better driver | 04:51 |
| Rug | debian_akroyd: I want to get vesa to work first, then I can fight with Nvidia drivers | 04:52 |
| emhs | Trouble is ssh works fine when I use an external wireless card, or the wired nic. | 04:52 |
| Flannel | Dr_Link: Why do you want to do that? | 04:52 |
| debian_akroyd | Rug, ok | 04:52 |
| emhs | It only fails when I use my internal broadcom chip. | 04:52 |
| nickrud | aarcane with or without gnome-session? | 04:52 |
| g-unot | hrm | 04:52 |
| Dr_Link | Because it's for an SSH user that only I will be using behind a secured router | 04:52 |
| g-unot | not sure | 04:52 |
| unop | Yanik, at this point i would suspect something physical. how can you verify that cable is plugged in on the LAN side/eth1? | 04:52 |
| Dr_Link | Don't worry about security for me right now | 04:52 |
| g-unot | sorry | 04:52 |
| Dr_Link | I just want to get this out of the way. | 04:52 |
| aarcane | nickrud, I've managed, in the past, to tell the gnome-session manager NOT to start a specified program, and it doesn't start it. I've also been able to change the session start order by tweaking the numbers.. but they get un-set every time I try as well.\ | 04:52 |
| u007 | hi, anyone know of any console application to convert ppt to swf? | 04:52 |
| Flannel | Dr_Link: Whats wrong with adding them to the admin group? | 04:52 |
| Addernator | second monitor resolution help | 04:52 |
| Yanik | unop: yeah i tried various cables and ports | 04:52 |
| jthan | Does anyone here develop for ubuntu? | 04:53 |
| Dr_Link | Flannel: How the heck do I do that? | 04:53 |
| aarcane | nickrud, the problem isn't that I don't know how to modify the settings, it's that for some reason, some idiot decided he knew better than I do about what I want, and won't let me change my settings on my own damn system. | 04:53 |
| unop | Yanik, are eth2 and eth3 plugged in too? | 04:53 |
| emhs | g-unot: Where would one download b43? | 04:53 |
| Dr_Link | I'm really steaming over this right now because I need this done within the next five minutes... ugh. | 04:53 |
| g-unot | hrm | 04:53 |
| g-unot | wait | 04:53 |
| WatchDragon | source code... compiling... taking... forever | 04:53 |
| g-unot | sorry | 04:53 |
| xtknight | jthan, some of us don't create apps but instead fix bugs | 04:53 |
| Flannel | Dr_Link: Alright, first quit editing sudoers (escape, :q!) | 04:53 |
| g-unot | u already have it ehms | 04:53 |
| g-unot | if u downloaded the originial | 04:53 |
| g-unot | for ubuntu | 04:53 |
| FloodBot1 | g-unot: Please don't flood, use http://paste.ubuntu.com to paste, don't use Enter as punctuation. | 04:53 |
| Dr_Link | Flannel: OK. | 04:53 |
| Flannel | Dr_Link: You're going about this the entire wrong way. usermod -G admin -a username | 04:54 |
| Yanik | unop: no but i tried em also... i even tried to plug the same cable and public ip in same the public switch that eth0 in eth1, no succes | 04:54 |
| jthan | xtknight: right. I joined the bugsquad a day ago :-) I'm just wondering what programming language i'm going to need to know. C++? C#? | 04:54 |
| Addernator | does any one know how to add resolution options to my second monitor!?!?! | 04:54 |
| nickrud | aarcane hm ... | 04:54 |
| xtknight | jthan, ubuntu consists of a lot of python in the UI. there is some C# which goes through the opensource mono interpreter. the kernel is all plain C | 04:54 |
| vipaca | Does n e one know about CVS? | 04:54 |
| Addernator | the resolution is stuck at 800x600 | 04:54 |
| Dr_Link | Flannel: Is that it? | 04:54 |
| saxonjf | Please help. I hit alt-shift-minus, and it made this horrible magnification, and I don't know how to get it back!!! | 04:54 |
| debian_akroyd | jthan, probably both would help, but i am not a developer | 04:54 |
| jthan | xtknight: so to start off what do you recommend learning first? | 04:54 |
| debian_akroyd | ive seen a lot of linux stuff being done in C/C++ recently | 04:55 |
| jeeves__ | Flannel, I didn't get your answer on the GPU issue | 04:55 |
| xtknight | jthan, python is a good starting point | 04:55 |
| vipaca | I want to have the source code in one directory belong to two differnt repositories is this possible? | 04:55 |
| aarcane | nickrud, I delete a process from the session manager, and click apply. when I reboot, it reappears. | 04:55 |
| jthan | debian_akroyd: very well thank you | 04:55 |
| Flannel | Dr_Link: yeah. Once that user is in the admin group, they can sudo. ('groups username' can check for you) | 04:55 |
| emhs | So, enabling it would basically be modprobing it and then rmmod-ing the bcm43xx driver? | 04:55 |
| nickrud | aarcane used to be (haven't tried recently) sudo update-alternatives --config x-window-manager controlled that | 04:55 |
| jthan | xtknight: do you have any good editors/compilers? | 04:55 |
| Flannel | jeeves__: I have no idea regarding anything that has to do with fans. | 04:55 |
| WatchDragon | nickrud: success!, but i need root to run it | 04:55 |
| aarcane | nickrud, it's not being started by any of the listed settings.. | 04:55 |
| unop | Yanik, public IP ? | 04:55 |
| jeeves__ | Flannel, ok, how about taking down Toshiba? LOL | 04:55 |
| Addernator | hello!? help please!? T.T | 04:56 |
| g-unot | cant find codec for audio format? anybody know why mplayer says that and doesnt play sound? | 04:56 |
| unop | Yanik, you have some unusual setup there. what is the public switch too? | 04:56 |
| xtknight | jthan, for python? i'm not sure, i just use gedit and nano personally | 04:56 |
| Yanik | unop: yeah i tried the actual configuration of eth0 in eth1, i am actually logged via ssh on eth0 | 04:56 |
| debian_akroyd | Addernator, i believe the ubottu bot recommended xinerama for you | 04:56 |
| xtknight | jthan, plenty :p http://wiki.python.org/moin/PythonEditors | 04:56 |
| jthan | xtknight: very well. I suppose that would work in OS X as well | 04:56 |
| debian_akroyd | xinerama! | 04:56 |
| Lynet | Addernator: How stuck? Does the nvidia-config thingie not allow you to set a higher resolution? | 04:56 |
| makson88 | Hi guys | 04:56 |
| debian_akroyd | hmm | 04:56 |
| Yanik | unop: the public switch is a netgear gigabit | 04:56 |
| nickrud | aarcane have you tried enlightenment --replace ? I think that's supposed to be implemented to support the freedesktop standard | 04:56 |
| jthan | xtknight: thanks for your help :-) | 04:56 |
| xtknight | jthan, python is cross platform and runs on any platform which has an interpreter for it. | 04:57 |
| nickrud | aarcane could be wrong though | 04:57 |
| debian_akroyd | ubottu, xinerama | 04:57 |
| ubottu | xinerama is an extension to !X to use two or more physical displays as one large virtual display. See https://help.ubuntu.com/community/XineramaHowTo - See also !DualHead | 04:57 |
| makson88 | I am having sound issues on my ubuntu box.. It looks like its when playing flash videos | 04:57 |
| makson88 | any ideas? | 04:57 |
| saxonjf | Please help. I hit alt-shift-minus, and it made this horrible magnification, and I don't know how to get it back!!! | 04:57 |
| aarcane | nickrud, I added enlightenment_start to my session with a priority 10. | 04:57 |
| Addernator | lynet - no it doesent only 800x600 | 04:57 |
| jthan | xtknight: Sounds easy enough. | 04:57 |
| nickrud | aarcane not the answer to my question. | 04:57 |
| makson88 | It works for certian things.. but if i run espeak "testing sound" that wont work | 04:57 |
| aarcane | nickrud, but gnome removes it to priority 50 and replaces gnome-wm, despite my insistance to remove it | 04:57 |
| unop | Yanik, are eth2 and eth3 up now? if they are, take them down and try the arping | 04:57 |
| mroc | seems like Flannel is trying to balance many things at the moment - anyone else able to offer some help? i connect to computer B which sits behind computer A. i do this by ssh to A, the ssh from A to B. how can i transfer files? i can't seem to figure out how to do this with scp. | 04:57 |
| Lynet | Addernator: What happens if you edit xorg.conf manually and set a different resolution for the second screen? | 04:57 |
| aarcane | nickrud, and I REFUSE to start enlightenment wrong. so does enlightenment. you start enlightenment by typing enlightenment_start\ | 04:58 |
| nickrud | aarcane that's fine, if it's implemented then it's correct | 04:58 |
| Addernator | lynet- i dont know how to do that, and i really dont want to mess it up | 04:58 |
| choudesh | mroc, look into sftp | 04:58 |
| choudesh | mroc, or scp | 04:58 |
| nickrud | mroc I think you need to look into ssh tunneling | 04:58 |
| FAJALOU | has anyone noticed that kernel 2.6.24-20-* isn't working? | 04:58 |
| choudesh | FAJALOU, ? | 04:58 |
| wols | !doesn't work | FAJALOU | 04:58 |
| ubottu | FAJALOU: 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. | 04:58 |
| HorizonXP | can someone help me with my sound issue? | 04:58 |
| nickrud | mroc not real familiar with it except academically | 04:58 |
| aarcane | nickrud, enlightenment will not start without enlightenment_start | 04:58 |
| debian_akroyd | lol @ ubottu | 04:59 |
| nickrud | aarcane are you talking about the environment, or the window manager portion | 04:59 |
| FAJALOU | has anyone noticed that kernel 2.6.24-20-* isn't even booting, it will go to the startup screen, and do nothing. | 04:59 |
| aarcane | nickrud, and the problem is that despite me disabling metacity, compiz, and gnome-wm, gnome-session is insisting on replacing it into the session. | 04:59 |
| wols | mroc: two stages. first to A and from A to B. very convoluted | 04:59 |
| ionstorm | How can I manage 100 ubuntu pc's users and accounts | 04:59 |
| ionstorm | with 1 pc? | 04:59 |
| nickrud | aarcane if it's the environment, then gnome-session isn't what you should be running, it's a different environment | 04:59 |
| aarcane | nickrud, I had to uninstall compiz and metacity and now gnome-wm is running "enlightenment", which doesn't work. | 04:59 |
| ionstorm | any administration sw for a corp? | 04:59 |
| wols | mroc: instead, learn about the power of ssh port forwarding | 04:59 |
| ahorner | how do i set up a second monitor? | 04:59 |
| Lynet | Addernator: Ok. Which card, which monitor? The driver should usually be able to ask the monitor for which resolutions it supports, but if that fails the nvidia-config thingie might get confused and only give you the option to use low resolutions like 800x600 | 04:59 |
| Rug | ionstorm: LDAP + NFS /home dirs | 04:59 |
| mroc | choudesh, nickrud: i can connect with ssh sessions, i just can't figure it out with scp (or sftp, i imagine the syntax would be very similar for both) | 05:00 |
| Addernator | lynet- can we talk in pm? | 05:00 |
| aarcane | nickrud, do you know how to make gnome-session start the programs I tell it to start and not start the programs I tell it not to start? | 05:00 |
| FAJALOU | has anyone noticed that kernel 2.6.24-20-* isn't even booting, it will go to the startup screen, and do nothing. and it is a huge bug. is there a way to delete the 'new' defunct kernel, because synaptic wants to delete the linux-generic and other needed files | 05:00 |
| Flannel | mroc: as far as I know, you'd have to scp to the first machine, then scp it the rest of the way. Unless you can communicate with the internal machine to the outside, in whcih case there you'd be able to scp from your outside machine into it | 05:00 |
| ionstorm | Rug I need a gui solution | 05:00 |
| emhs | Anyone have a guess as to why I can't ssh using my internal wireless card, which is a bcm4311? | 05:00 |
| choudesh | morc, setup an SSH tunnel on computer A which connects to ocmputer B. Google SSH Tunnel for help. | 05:00 |
| Lynet | Addernator: Sure. | 05:00 |
| ionstorm | Rug, know of one? | 05:00 |
| nickrud | aarcane are you talking about the enlightenment ENVIRONMENT or only the WINDOW MANAGER | 05:00 |
| choudesh | FAJALOU, what is the actual kernel version? | 05:01 |
| saxonjf | Please help. I hit alt-shift-minus, and it made this horrible magnification, and I don't know how to get it back!!! | 05:01 |
| mroc | wols: well, there are several computers that sit behind computer A (which is really a router) and i found it easier to not set up multiple port forwarding rules. | 05:01 |
| aarcane | nickrud, doesn't matter. I removed an item from the gnome-session, and it returned. I want it to not return. | 05:01 |
| aarcane | nickrud, how do I make it not return | 05:01 |
| aarcane | nickrud, nothing else. | 05:01 |
| FAJALOU | choudesh: 2.6.24-20-generic | 05:01 |
| Yanik | unop: its weird i see them in ifconfig -a but not in just ifconfig, earlier i deleted em from the interface file, i just re-added em, did ifup then ifdown and now arp -a gives me : http://paste.ubuntu.com/30193/ | 05:01 |
| nickrud | aarcane hm, did you try changing it to normal status prior to removing it? | 05:01 |
| aarcane | nickrud, don't mention enlightenment, just tell me how to make it stop restoring things I manually remove. | 05:01 |
| mroc | choudesh: i can do ssh sessions just fine, i just don't know how to transfer files once i get to that point. | 05:01 |
| Rug | ionstorm: you are asking for Windows AD | 05:02 |
| Rug | lag-spike | 05:02 |
| wols | mroc: I didn't say anything about port forwarding rules. I said ssh port forwarding. different thing | 05:02 |
| ice_cream | and this stays if you logout/in ? | 05:02 |
| nickrud | aarcane I'm sorry, but demands will get you nothing. I'm trying to understand what you want, but if you will not answer my questions I'm done | 05:02 |
| makson88 | putty works nice | 05:02 |
| SeveredCross | mroc: puttyscp. | 05:02 |
| meoblast001 | ok | 05:02 |
| meoblast001 | i have a problem | 05:02 |
| SeveredCross | Or, just regular ol' scp. | 05:02 |
| aarcane | nickrud, I told you exactly what I want, and you insisted on taking it to an irrelevant tangent. it doesn't matter what I want to remove, if I remove it and it comes back, gnome-session is broken. | 05:02 |
| unop | mroc, is the router something that has sufficient storage on it? | 05:03 |
| meoblast001 | aparently OpenGL cant direct render on my PC, what do i do? | 05:03 |
| mroc | unop: no | 05:03 |
| SeveredCross | scp user@host:/path/to/file /path/to/local/file | 05:03 |
| choudesh | mroc, no, SSH Tunnel. Say port:7777 on computer A redirects to port:23 on B. So you would just scp to port 7777 on A | 05:03 |
| wols | meoblast001: install the proper drivers and configure direct rendering to work | 05:03 |
| SeveredCross | Or, the other direction around: scp /path/to/local/file user@host:/path/to/remote/file | 05:03 |
| angah | hi..still problem with my hardy.. take a look here . --> http://img257.imageshack.us/img257/7863/hardwaredriversyy3.th.png | 05:04 |
| unop | Yanik, hmm, not sure what this is .. you say that neither eth2 and eth3 work? even with a private address plugged into the network 192.168.0/24? | 05:04 |
| angah | any idea why? | 05:04 |
| mroc | choudesh: oh, i see what you mean now. i can't set that up from a remote location (as i have remote admin disabled), so that would have to be done later. | 05:04 |
| Rug | debian_akroyd: nope, xserver is still failing to even detect hardware now, I'll try with 7.10 again. | 05:04 |
| angah | still dunno why | 05:04 |
| meoblast001 | wols: i dont know how... i dont even know what drivers i need for my system... im not even completely sure what GPU i have | 05:04 |
| choudesh | mroc, you can set it up via ssh | 05:04 |
| wols | meoblast001: lspci |grep VGA | 05:04 |
| unop | mroc, what kind of a router is it? | 05:04 |
| nickrud | aarcane been doing this a long time here. If you have decided that you know what you want, and are unwilling to answer questions that may seem irrelevant to you but help me understand what you're doing, I'm not going to waste time. You're welcome to ask someone else. | 05:04 |
| Yanik | unop: yeah, it looks like only eth0 works :| | 05:05 |
| choudesh | FAJALOU, hmm.. I see some forum posts but I just installed it to a VM and booted fine. | 05:05 |
| meoblast001 | wols: VGA compatible controller: Intel Corporation Mobile 915GM/GMS/910GML Express Graphics Controller (rev 03) | 05:05 |
| mroc | it's a buffalo router running dd-wrt | 05:05 |
| wols | mroc: intel or i810 is the driver you want then | 05:05 |
| FAJALOU | choudesh: it is a bug that is found and is in launchpad. but how can i safely remove that kenel? | 05:05 |
| unop | Yanik, there has to be something wrong with the setup on the network -- i find it hard that all three interfaces fail to work. | 05:05 |
| emhs | I can't ssh using my internal broadcom card, and I could really use some help. | 05:05 |
| emhs | Anyone have a guess as to why? | 05:06 |
| debian_akroyd | Rug, have you tried using a different video card on the same computer? | 05:06 |
| wols | !wlan | emhs | 05:06 |
| ubottu | emhs: Wireless documentation can be found at https://help.ubuntu.com/community/WifiDocs | 05:06 |
| Ogata | I'm trying to follow the usplash instructions on wiki. I would install libbogl-dev but couldnt find it. I'm using hardy. Should I enable some specific repository to do that? | 05:06 |
| wols | emhs: be less vague or no one can help you | 05:06 |
| choudesh | FAJALOU, during the Grub screen - hit ESC then select an old kernel | 05:06 |
| meoblast001 | wols: what driver do i need? | 05:06 |
| Blaqlight | lol this is so confusing | 05:06 |
| wols | meoblast001: I told you | 05:06 |
| FAJALOU | choudesh: i know that but how can i delete the new one, or will it be updated later? | 05:06 |
| meoblast001 | wols: oh... that was for me... you said mroc | 05:06 |
| wols | sorry | 05:07 |
| Rug | debian_akroyd: no. It can't be the video card. (/me hopes) The LiveCD shouldn't/wouldn't have given me a working GUI | 05:07 |
| mroc | i figured it was for someone else | 05:07 |
| Yanik | unop: its very weird, never seen something like that before... i normaly use freebsd but it wouldnt even recognize the network cards... so i tried ubuntu, i red somewhere that i might have to specify that eth1 use the same driver as eth0 in /etc/modprobe.d, do you think that could help? | 05:07 |
| wols | FAJALOU: dpkg -l |grep linux-image | 05:07 |
| meoblast001 | wols: i have intel on... so sould i try i810 | 05:07 |
| emhs | I'm running a bcm43xx. When I attempt to SSH, it asks for my password on the remote box and then hangs. This doesn't happen with any other network card, be it the internal wired or an external wireless card. | 05:07 |
| choudesh | FAJALOU, just remove linux-headers-2.6.24-20 | 05:07 |
| choudesh | linux-image-2.6.24-20-generic | 05:07 |
| nickrud | Ogata it's in the main repository libbogl-dev is. | 05:07 |
| wols | meoblast001: no. intel is fine | 05:07 |
| angah | anyone? no one? | 05:07 |
| emhs | I can give you the ssh -vvv output, if necessary. | 05:07 |
| nickrud | !hardysources | Ogata (try this then the install) | 05:07 |
| ubottu | Ogata (try this then the install): In System->Admin->Software Sources, enable (main) (universe) (restricted) and (multiverse) and disable the Cdrom on the Ubuntu Software tab. On the Updates tab, enable (hardy-security) and (hardy-updates). | 05:07 |
| debian_akroyd | Rug, when you resetup the xserver, did you tell it to use the vesa driver? | 05:07 |
| meoblast001 | wols: so why wouldnt it direct render? | 05:07 |
| choudesh | FAJALOU, this hasn't move into main yet - it is still in proposed | 05:08 |
| FAJALOU | choudesh: in synaptic? because if i try to, synaptic will try to also remove linux-headers and linux-generic | 05:08 |
| wols | meoblast001: cause the opengl is not set up properly. check your Xorg.0.log | 05:08 |
| meoblast001 | wols: ok | 05:08 |
| choudesh | FAJALOU, open terminal, sudo apt-get remove those packages | 05:08 |
| FAJALOU | choudesh i know i now have proposed turned off :) | 05:08 |
| Ogata | nickrud: hm, hardy sources. that is the step that I was missing. thanks again! | 05:08 |
| Rug | debian_akroyd: no, the hardware wasn't even dectected; the xoug.conf was missing 90% of the data. | 05:08 |
| FAJALOU | choudesh: apt-get will try to also remove linux-headers and linux-generic also | 05:08 |
| unop | Yanik, well, i don't think that is the problem - eth1 seems to have loaded properly -- it responds to self-tests .. and if eth2 and 3 are seperate physical NICs and they have seperate modules running then and they have failed too - the problem must be beyond the setup on the box itself | 05:08 |
| debian_akroyd | Rug, did you run dpkg-reconfigure xserver-xorg? | 05:09 |
| Rug | debian_akroyd: no monitors, no video, no wacom even!!! | 05:09 |
| emhs | Is that specific enough? | 05:09 |
| Rug | debian_akroyd: yupp | 05:09 |
| debian_akroyd | hmm | 05:09 |
| unop | Yanik, what is 192.168.0.142 anyway? somekind of internal server? | 05:09 |
| wols | Rug: what hardware is it? what does Xorg.0.log say exactly? | 05:09 |
| choudesh | FAJALOU, pastebin the results using simulation... apt-get -s remove those packages | 05:09 |
| dav123192 | I am working on configuring the netfilter firewall via iptables. As far as I can tell, I enabled the correct ports for SAMBA, CUPS, SSH, and going out on HTTP(S) and FTP, as well as DNS in and out (not running a dns server though). Now for somereason I can only acces my server via IP address instead of hostname (mainhub). Any suggestions why? Output of iptables-save at http://paste.ubuntu.com/3019 | 05:09 |
| dav123192 | 4/ | 05:09 |
| choudesh | !pastebin | FAJALOU | 05:09 |
| ubottu | FAJALOU: pastebin is a service to post multiple-lined texts so you don't flood the channel. The Ubuntu pastebin is at http://paste.ubuntu.com (make sure you give us the URL for your paste - see also the channel topic) | 05:09 |
| Yanik | unop: i see, i will go back to the DC tomorow and try more stuff, thanks for your help! .142 is a web server, i run my webservers offline, they acces the web by proxies | 05:09 |
| meoblast001 | wols: these logs are confusing | 05:09 |
| debian_akroyd | Rug, when your hard disk crashed (i know this is a dumb question) did you replace it? or are you still using it now | 05:09 |
| Rug | wols: one sec.. (Nvidia 6600 GT) | 05:09 |
| dav123192 | sorry, iptables-save at http://paste.ubuntu.com/30194/ | 05:09 |
| Rug | debian_akroyd: new 'virgin' 1TB seagate | 05:10 |
| DeadKennedy2880 | suggestions? - ive wanted to make my sound output louder (preamp?) for a while now, with no luck. i use rhythmbox for music but couldnt find a way to preamp it like VLC, since theres no EQ settings. anyone have any hints/tips? | 05:10 |
| debian_akroyd | Rug, and you reinstalled ubuntu straight off the cd when you got the hard drive all set up right | 05:10 |
| choudesh | dav123192, iptables have nothing to do with nameservices, you issue probably lies in your DNS server. So just make an A record for mainhub.whatever point to the IP | 05:11 |
| wols | dav123192: does any DNS server for those other boxes know the name and IP of your server? | 05:11 |
| meoblast001 | wols: what am i looking for in this log? | 05:11 |
| wols | meoblast001: errors | 05:11 |
| unop | Yanik, i don't really understand this setup .. this box is something you are ssh into, so i am assuming it is a hosted service .. and the hosted service gives you access to an internal network on which this other webserver (.142) runs? | 05:12 |
| dav123192 | choudesh: it must have something to do because everything worked before that | 05:12 |
| CaptainMorgan | !iptables | 05:12 |
| ubottu | Ubuntu, like any other linux distribution, has firewall capabilities built-in. The firewall is managed using the 'iptables' command (see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/IptablesHowTo), or GUI applications such as Firestarter (Gnome) or Guarddog (KDE). | 05:12 |
| meoblast001 | wols: O_o i dont know what one looks like | 05:12 |
| dav123192 | wols: yeah, my router | 05:12 |
| choudesh | dav123192, have you tried an nslookup for that hostname.domain? | 05:12 |
| wols | dav123192: unlikely or the IP wouldn't be needed | 05:12 |
| choudesh | dav123192, does it translate right? | 05:12 |
| Rug | wols: what inparticular should I look for in Xorg.log? | 05:12 |
| mroc | thanks to SeveredCross, choudesh, wols, Flannel, and anyone i missed who gave suggestions. i'll try the suggestions made about ssh tunneling. again, very much appreciated. have a good evening all (or whatever time of day it might be for you). | 05:12 |
| jake_ | my mp3 player worked fine yesterday on rythmbox today it works sometimes. | 05:13 |
| meoblast001 | wols: is why does it say (II) intel(0): direct rendering: Enabled | 05:13 |
| dav123192 | choudesh: checking | 05:13 |
| wols | dav123192: how does your server get its IP? DHCP? | 05:13 |
| meoblast001 | wols: when a game said no dirct rendering | 05:13 |
| Rug | debian_akroyd: yes, fresh install | 05:13 |
| wols | meoblast001: what does glxinfo |grep direct say? | 05:13 |
| dav123192 | wols: yes, and I could access it fine before I did anything to the firewall | 05:13 |
| emhs | wols: was that at least specific enough, and can I simply assume that no one knows the answer? | 05:13 |
| debian_akroyd | Rug, when you boot into the live cd, is the live cds' xorg configuration similar to that of the one after the install? | 05:13 |
| meoblast001 | wols: i'll check | 05:13 |
| Yanik | unop: i have 2 switches, one for public ips and one with local ips, webservers and other application servers acces the database server by the local network, i only have my load balancers and name servers online, all others are offline, i ssh to one to ssh to others via the local network, only have like 10% of my machines online for security reasons | 05:13 |
| jake_ | is rythmbox having issues? | 05:13 |
| meoblast001 | wols: direct rendering: No (If you want to find out why, try setting LIBGL_DEBUG=verbose) | 05:13 |
| FAJALOU | choudesh: http://paste.ubuntu.com/30195/ | 05:14 |
| WatchDragon | whats the command to update repos? | 05:14 |
| wols | emhs: I'd test other pages and stuff. doe some websurfing, downloads, etc | 05:14 |
| emhs | Everything works. | 05:14 |
| emhs | Absolutely everything. | 05:14 |
| emhs | Except ssh | 05:14 |
| meoblast001 | wols: how do i set that thingy to verbose like it says? | 05:14 |
| choudesh | FAJALOU, your fine. Take out the -s | 05:14 |
| emhs | And ssh works on other cards. | 05:14 |
| wols | emhs: then it's a ssh problem. like reverse DNS lookup for example | 05:14 |
| Rug | debian_akroyd: I'll have to reboot to check.... (don't want to lose this connect just yet.) As of yet, nobody has designed a screen session that can survive a reboot | 05:14 |
| emhs | Could you tell me something if I pastebin'd the -vvv log? | 05:14 |
| FAJALOU | choudesh: it will remove linux-generic and linux-headers-generic! are you sure | 05:14 |
| wbmj | WatchDragon: sudo apt-get update | 05:15 |
| wols | meoblast001: LIBGL_DEBUG=verbose glxinfo | 05:15 |
| wols | meoblast001: pastebin the output | 05:15 |
| choudesh | FAJALOU, yea | 05:15 |
| choudesh | FAJALOU, that is just a meta to the latest kernel | 05:15 |
| FAJALOU | choudesh: should i purge it? | 05:15 |
| debian_akroyd | Rug, it could be that you may have to just copy the configuration from the xorg.conf from the live cd to your hard disk then use that to get into xserver where you can load on the correct drivers | 05:15 |
| choudesh | FAJALOU, if you want | 05:15 |
| dav123192 | choudesh: it didn't translate right, although I didn't put in anything for .domain 'cause I don't have a domain | 05:15 |
| debian_akroyd | Rug, cause the installer may be glitching when it detects your hardware | 05:16 |
| Rug | debian_akroyd: thats a great idea.... thanks | 05:16 |
| choudesh | dav123192, then your issue is the dns server | 05:16 |
| meoblast001 | wols: http://pastebin.com/d629a8003 | 05:16 |

| Rug | ok reboot time... | 05:16 |
| unop | Yanik, i get a sense of the setup -- but there might be small things in the implementation that could affect your ability to connect to the internal network. when you are in tomorrow, first check that .142 is on the same switch as the one eth1 is plugged into .. if you still can't connect, try a direct connection or something. | 05:16 |

| dav123192 | choudesh: I'm gonna try rebooting my router because that's the only thing that would be doing the translating, I'm gonna lose my connection, be back in a sec | 05:17 |

| mroc | unop: yes | 05:21 |
| dav123192 | choudesh: didn't fix it, it's gotta be my firewall somehow because if I flush it and set default policy to be ACCEPT everything works | 05:21 |

| rafaelscj | ahorner, it will restart x. I want to exit X | 05:23 |
| debian_akroyd | rafaelgv, the way i would do it is switch into tty1, log in, sudo killall gdm (or kdm if your on kde) | 05:23 |
| nickrud | meoblast001 does your /var/log/Xorg.0.log say you have direct rendering enabled? I'm finding conflicting info on the bug tracker | 05:24 |
| ahorner | rafaelscj: dunno then | 05:24 |
| SeveredCross | rafaelscj: sudo /etc/init.d/gdm stop | 05:24 |
| unop | mroc, can you setup passwordless ssh up on the router? via public key auth. ? perhaps | 05:24 |
| SeveredCross | Or sudo /etc/init.d/kdm stop | 05:24 |
| ahorner | kdb9000: dunno. | 05:24 |
| SeveredCross | From tty1. | 05:24 |
| meoblast001 | nickrud: Xorg does but GL and a game claims not | 05:24 |

| SeveredCross | Don't killall gdm when you chan shut it down properly with an init script. | 05:24 |
| meoblast001 | nickrud: and my patients also believes it doesnt have direct rendering either | 05:24 |
| debian_akroyd | or as severed stated | 05:24 |

| choudesh | dav123192, yea | 05:25 |
| meoblast001 | nickrud: its not mesa..... its intel | 05:25 |
| nickrud | meoblast001 intel is the card, mesa is the issue | 05:26 |
| unop | mroc, this wrt router runs linux right .. you might still be able to setup key auth. to the internal hosts on it | 05:26 |
| meoblast001 | nickrud: oh | 05:26 |

| FAJALOU | should i pw protect my recovery mode and memtest 86 in grub's menu.lst if they already have the 'lock' option? | 05:30 |
| unop | mroc, that command uses ssh to copy files rather than scp -- the problem is the second ssh command has no way of getting a password from you if you pipe something to it already | 05:30 |
| mroc | unop: i understand parts of that command set. some of that syntax i've seen and learned before but am not entirely familiar with. i can look it up if it's a pain to explain | 05:30 |
| nickrud | meoblast001 nope. well, you might try the i810, it's an older version for intel, don't know if it supports your card well or not | 05:30 |

| pikeshouse88 | dpkg-reconfigure only asks me about the keyboard but never about the video card or monitors | 05:31 |
| pikeshouse88 | so im totally stuck here | 05:31 |
| unop | mroc, ssh tries it's best to find ways of logging in automatically and if none are found it prompts you for a password -- the idea here is to get ssh to log in auto, so it can send whatever is piped to it to the end host -- which will take the incoming data and pass it to tar, which will recreate the directory structure | 05:31 |

| nickrud | meoblast001 it appears it's installed by default, apt-cache policy xserver-xorg-video-i810 will say for sure. If it is, add the line Driver "i810" to the Section "Device" (replacing "intel" if it's there) | 05:32 |

| unop | mroc, or you could also setup a tunnel on the router as someone else already suggested - not sure how well it works for public traffic though | 05:33 |
| unop | Derander, sudo aptitude reinstall locales | 05:33 |

| choudesh | dav123192, what kind of DNS it is on the router, it is a full DNS, DNS-Cache or just DNSMasq | 05:35 |
| unop | mroc, the only problem is that if the router is ever compromised -- access to internal hosts is relatively easy | 05:35 |

| zV0 | ty | 05:38 |
| mroc | unop: how so? if tunneling is set up, an scp connection to the tunneled port on the router would get forwarded to the specified port on the internal host (probably just the standard), and that would require a private key, which would live on the remote computer. am i misunderstanding this? even if the router is compromised, the private key is still necessary, right? | 05:38 |

| choudesh | dav123192, I think I've found your issue. Your "DNS" server is either cache or forward...you need to implement a full DNS server where you are the autority for that hostname | 05:38 |

| unop | Derander, hmm. sudo aptitude purge locales && sudo aptitude install locales # be careful, this might remove some packages that might be critical to your system -- it will prompt you anyway | 05:40 |
| pikeshouse88 | anyone, xorg conf is blank after live cd boot for the emac | 05:40 |
| unop | Derander, actually wait | 05:41 |
| Derander | unop: waiting | 05:41 |
| choudesh | dav123192, yes they do | 05:41 |
| unop | Derander, give me an example of a command that gives you this warning here | 05:41 |
| mroc | unop: oh, oh, i understand what you're saying now. i thought you were saying that applied to the tunneling. that is a consideration. seems pretty unlikely that the router would become compromised, especially with keypair auth., but it is something to think about. | 05:41 |
| Derander | unop: anything | 05:41 |
| choudesh | dav123192, c:\windows\system32\drivers\etc\hosts on XP | 05:41 |
| El_dudo | Hello, I've installed, uninstalled, reinstalled, repeat the Java Runtime Environment, but Firefox still says that they are missing. | 05:41 |
| [daren] | i installed ubuntu on my laptop last night, and it shows two procs working at 800 mhz.. does that mean its running at a combined 1600 mhz or, the system is just running at 800 mhz? | 05:41 |
| meoblast001 | nickrud: teach me how to switch to the other driver | 05:41 |
| Derander | unop: well, not anything. | 05:41 |
| El_dudo | How do I remedy this? | 05:41 |
| mike1980 | bullgard4: woops ok you already said where to put it thanks | 05:41 |
| Derander | unop: man does, svn does | 05:41 |
| jeeves__ | has anyone here used "toshutil"? | 05:42 |
| dav123192 | choudesh: then just give the server a static IP? | 05:42 |
| bullgard4 | mike1980: Either 'sudo /etc/init.d/networking restart' or 'sudo /etc/dbus-1/event.d/25NetworkManager restart'. | 05:42 |
| Derander | unop: can't think of anything else, but I've seen it other times | 05:42 |
| nickrud | meoblast001 I'd listen to crdlb over me on video | 05:42 |
| unop | Derander, ok. try this. LC_ALL=C man svn # still get the message | 05:42 |
| Jabop | Hello everyone. I'm trying to compile openssh from source and on them make i get the following error messages http://pastebin.ca/1082305 | 05:42 |
| Jabop | Could anyone lend some assistance? | 05:42 |
| bobertdos | El_dudo: Do you use the built-in Firefox or did you install Mozilla's version separately? | 05:42 |
| meoblast001 | nickrud: ok | 05:42 |
| meoblast001 | crdlb: how do i speed it up? | 05:43 |
| El_dudo | bobertdos: I installed Firefox 2 from synaptic | 05:43 |
| Derander | unop: no change. | 05:43 |
| choudesh | dav123192, yea - or you may try adding DHCP_HOSTNAME=whatever to your eth0 script on your server | 05:43 |
| nickrud | meoblast001 but if you want, edit /etc/X11/xorg.conf, add the line Driver "i810" to the Device section, replacing "intel" if it's there. | 05:43 |
| TokenBad | hello..question about screen resolution..a friend has a laptop..it has intell i855 intergrated video..but he can't get the screen resolution in ubuntu to be what the monitor supports. His current resolution is only 1024x768 but the monitor supports 1400x1050..any idea how to fix this? | 05:43 |
| unop | Derander, LANGUAGE=en LC_ALL=C man svn # still get the message? | 05:43 |
| meoblast001 | nickrud: what if it fails? | 05:43 |
| Derander | unop yeah :-( | 05:43 |
| nickrud | meoblast001 remove it, or change it back to intel. | 05:44 |
| bobertdos | El_dudo: and you also installed sun-java6-plugin? | 05:44 |
| unop | Derander, ok, paste the last output you got. | 05:44 |
| dav123192 | choudesh: on the /etc/network/interfaces file? | 05:44 |
| stoneCold_ | I've got the well known issue, that the ubuntu installation hangs at "cs: io port probe 0x100-0x3af", does someone know a solution for it pls? | 05:44 |
| El_dudo | bobertdos: yes | 05:44 |
| guest808080 | TokenBad Edit /etc/X11/xorg.conf and add the resolution to modes | 05:44 |
| Derander | unop: http://pastie.org/240806 | 05:44 |
| choudesh | dav123192, no the init script for your device | 05:44 |
| TokenBad | Guest10564 he tried that..but couldn't find the place | 05:44 |
| akaaka | hi i wonder why youtube its not woking under ubuntu? i install all the plugin downloads.. adobe flash player, swfdec and gnash.. and still does nto work | 05:44 |
| bobertdos | El_dudo: alright, go into the terminal and type: sudo update-java-alternatives -l | 05:45 |
| Voxicles | Could anyone be so kind as to enlighten to how I can disable my second monitor? I'm using an ati card | 05:45 |
| TokenBad | guest808080 sorry.. | 05:45 |
| TokenBad | guest808080 he tried that..but couldn't find the place to edit | 05:45 |
| [daren] | i installed ubuntu on my laptop last night, and it shows two procs working at 800 mhz.. does that mean its running at a combined 1600 mhz or, the system is just running at 800 mhz? | 05:45 |
| bullgard4 | '~$ sudo ddcprobe; dtiming: 1280x800@60'. What is meant by 'dtiming'? | 05:45 |
| Jabop | [daren]: ubuntu uses stepping by default | 05:45 |
| nickrud | [daren] each cpu is running at 800, sometimes at higher speeds | 05:46 |
| El_dudo | bobertdos: done. | 05:46 |
| dav123192 | choudesh: where is that located? | 05:46 |
| [daren] | alright | 05:46 |
| [daren] | thanks, that's all i needed to know | 05:46 |
| bobertdos | akaaka: The only one you should really install is either flashplugin-nonfree 9.0r124 or the beta for Flash 10. | 05:46 |
| El_dudo | bobertdos: java-6-openjdk 1061 /usr/lib/jvm/java-6-openjdk | 05:46 |
| El_dudo | java-6-sun 63 /usr/lib/jvm/java-6-sun | 05:46 |
| pikeshouse88 | bullgard4: must mean 60 mhz refresh rate | 05:46 |
| [daren] | so its by default at the lowest, and when it needs it.. it will adjust? | 05:46 |
| meoblast001 | nickrud: do i stick that in Section "Monitor"? | 05:47 |
| bobertdos | El_dudo: sudo update-java-alternatives -s /usr/lib/jvm/java-6-sun | 05:47 |
| nickrud | meoblast001 no, the section Device | 05:47 |
| El_dudo | bobertdos: done. | 05:47 |
| guest808080 | TokenBad : Under screen add a subsection "Display" as follows ->SubSection "Display" Modes"1440x900" EndSubSection | 05:48 |
| unop | Derander, hmm. sudo aptitude purge locales && sudo aptitude install locales # then | 05:48 |
| meoblast001 | nickrud: ok here i go | 05:48 |
| * nickrud waits for the explosion | 05:48 | |
| nickrud | too late | 05:48 |
| bobertdos | El_dudo: Now, go into Firefox and type: about:plugins and see if Java is listed. | 05:48 |
| akaaka | bobertdos the flashplugin-nonfree its installed already | 05:48 |
| harpreet | bobertdos: java mostly dont work with 64 bit | 05:48 |
| akaaka | and still not working youtube | 05:48 |
| El_dudo | bobertdos: it is not. | 05:48 |
| bobertdos | harpreet: Did he say he was running 64? I didn't see him say that. | 05:49 |
| meoblast001 | nickrud: well... that already fixed the "super big font on login screen error" known to intel driver users | 05:49 |
| jacob_n | In hardy, is it possible to downgrade the Japanese fonts to what they looked like in gutsy and earlier? | 05:49 |
| meoblast001 | now to test GL | 05:49 |
| choudesh | dav123192, /etc/rc[runlevel]/ifup script | 05:49 |
| El_dudo | bobertdos: I am not running a 64bit | 05:49 |
| harpreet | bobertdos: was just confirming if he is or not. | 05:49 |
| Derander | unop: no change :-( | 05:50 |
| bobertdos | harpreet: okie-dokie :) | 05:50 |
| meoblast001 | nickrud: compiz turns on... does that mean its working? | 05:50 |
| Derander | unop: stupid problem, eh? | 05:50 |
| nickrud | meoblast001 means direct rendering is working, yes | 05:50 |
| meoblast001 | nickrud: i love you | 05:50 |
| meoblast001 | lol | 05:50 |
| Scorp_ | I am unable to access the wireless Router web-page which is set to 192.168.1.1 even after repeated attempts. What can I do ??? Its a problem with my Ubuntu laptop only. The page is accessible from Windows PCs otherwise... | 05:50 |
| Scorp_ | I am unable to access the wireless Router web-page which is set to 192.168.1.1 even after repeated attempts. What can I do ??? Its a problem with my Ubuntu laptop only. The page is accessible from Windows PCs otherwise... | 05:50 |
| harpreet | bobertdos: i have 64 and its running good on root only with other users it doesnt even work | 05:50 |
| unop | Derander, indeed - not sure what it is | 05:50 |
| Derander | unop: Mmkay, I'll keep googling :-) | 05:50 |
| bobertdos | El_dudo: Okay, time to make a link. | 05:51 |
| Voxicles | So anyone, how do I disable my second monitor after I already set it up in aticonfig? | 05:51 |
| bullgard4 | pikeshouse88: What does the acronym 'dtiming' stand for? What does it mean? (see http://www.cyberciti.biz/faq/howto-use-linux-ddcprobe-command/) | 05:51 |
| Derander | unop: seems to be a common problem, maybe someone has figured it out | 05:51 |
| unop | Derander, have a scour at the forums for locales and other bugs, you might find something there | 05:51 |
| genewitch | laptop won't boot from HD, have bt3 cd booted; fsck won't scan /dev/hda5; but will scan /dev/hda1 (no corruption). Am using reiserfs on both partitions, i thinks | 05:51 |
| bobertdos | El_dudo: Do you know where your Firefox is located? | 05:51 |
| unop | Derander, locales are a big problem all over | 05:51 |
| Kurakuea | hello everyone, this is my first time on ubuntu and this chat so i hope i dont sound to newbish | 05:51 |
| Derander | unop: ah :-( | 05:52 |
| Kurakuea | im trying to access my shared folders on my windows computer but cant see them, do i have to set something up? | 05:52 |
| guest808080 | El_dudo you did close firefox and restart it after installing flash plugin non free if not it won work | 05:52 |
| bobertdos | akaaka: If you type about:plugins into Firefox, what is listed? Flash or Gnash? | 05:52 |
| dav123192 | choudesh: I remember reading this somewhere, but how do I get the correct run level? I'm sort of on linux overload the past two weeks | 05:52 |
| El_dudo | bobertdos: looking... | 05:52 |
| choudesh | dav123192, man init | 05:53 |
| choudesh | dav123192, or man telinit | 05:53 |

| Blaqlight | TokenBad: your going to want I810 | 05:54 |
| dianapo | Hey is there a program to recieve phonecalls from phone lines? | 05:54 |

| genewitch | fsck gives error "error 2 while executing fsck.vfat for /dev/hda5" -> can't boot off the drive it's referring to, please help. | 05:55 |
| Scorp_ | I am unable to access the wireless Router web-page which is set to 192.168.1.1 even after repeated attempts. What can I do ??? Its a problem with my Ubuntu laptop only. The page is accessible from Windows PCs otherwise... | 05:55 |
| bobertdos | Kurakuea: Well, if you think you installed Samba, you probably did. | 05:55 |
| Blaqlight | TokenBad: if you read the top of the config file it tells you how to do it. | 05:55 |
| genewitch | Scorp_: what brand of router | 05:55 |
| bobertdos | Kurakuea: Do you remember what your workgroup name is back on your Windows system? | 05:55 |
| Scorp_ | genewitch: Its a linksys router. | 05:55 |
| Kurakuea | hehe ok, yea | 05:55 |
| akaaka | any abiword user here? i like abiword but how can i change to format so i can open it with openoffice word or ms word | 05:56 |
| akaaka | ? | 05:56 |
| genewitch | Scorp_: open a terminal: ping 192.168.1.1 and then ping 4.2.2.2 | 05:56 |
| genewitch | Scorp_: which works, which don't | 05:56 |
| dianapo | What is the program to recieve calls from a phoneline | 05:56 |
| TokenBad | Blaqlight in the file for the device it has: Option"UseFBDev""true" | 05:56 |
| dav123192 | Scorp_: try https instead of http | 05:56 |
| dianapo | What is the program to recieve calls from a phoneline? | 05:56 |
| El_dudo | bobertdos: got it. | 05:56 |
| stoneCold__ | is there a working solution for the well known "cs: io port probe 0x100-0x3af" hang problem, I experience it when trying to install ubuntu on my notebook, can someone help me pls ? | 05:57 |
| bobertdos | Kurakuea: So what's your workgroup name? Do you remember? | 05:57 |
| Scorp_ | genewitch: Both are pinging properly. 0 packet Loss... | 05:57 |
| bobertdos | El_dudo: Okay, go into the plugins directory from the terminal. | 05:57 |
| genewitch | Scorp_: tracert 4.2.2.2 - what's your first hop | 05:57 |
| Kurakuea | Passive-Reality, i set it as my comain in the general tab for network settings | 05:57 |
| Scorp_ | dav123192: The Secure connection failed... | 05:58 |
| Scorp_ | genewitch: 192.168.1.1 and 4.2.2.2 both are pinging properly | 05:58 |
| genewitch | yeah, but is your first hop 1.1? | 05:58 |
| El_dudo | bobertdos: I'm there. | 05:58 |
| bobertdos | Kurakuea: That's your domain, but is that also the workgroup? Those are two different things. | 05:58 |
| dianapo | is there a program to recieve calls from a phoneline? | 05:58 |
| Kurakuea | oh >.> ok | 05:58 |
| ubuntu_ | connect | 05:58 |
| genewitch | Scorp_: two things you can try http://192.168.1.1:81 and http://192.168.1.1:8080 and http://192.168.1.1:800 | 05:59 |
| genewitch | three things, whatever. | 05:59 |
| Blaqlight | TokenBad: thats your framebuffer. if you want the pretty ubuntu logo window on boot you want that. | 05:59 |
| Kurakuea | where do i set the workgroup then ^^ | 05:59 |
| Derander | unop: fixed it, sudo apt-get install language-pack-en | 05:59 |
| Blaqlight | TokenBad: I believe | 05:59 |
| akaaka | this is weird.. abiword can open msword documents.. but msword cant open abiword documents.. how can i make ABW format to DOC in order that stupid msword recognized? | 05:59 |
| akaaka | please | 05:59 |
| akaaka | this is important i need help | 05:59 |
| unop | Derander, cool -- will remember that :) | 05:59 |
| Flannel | akaaka: open it in abiword, save as doc | 06:00 |
| Scorp_ | genewitch: the first hop is 192.168.1.1 | 06:00 |
| Blaqlight | akaaka: as a rule windows clients only open windows stuff. | 06:00 |
| bobertdos | El_dudo: sudo ln -s /usr/lib/java-6-sun/jre/plugin/i386/ns7/libjavaplugin_oji.so | 06:00 |
| TokenBad | Blaqlight ok in the original xorg file my friend uses..it had the i810 driver...but the resolution is still stuck at the 1024x768 | 06:00 |
| Derander | akaaka: not wierd, MicroSoft has no interest in compatibility :-) If you can open up the file in abiword right now, save as ".doc" should work | 06:00 |
| Blaqlight | TokenBad: which distro are you using? | 06:00 |
| TokenBad | 8.04 | 06:01 |
| dav123192 | thanks choudesh | 06:01 |
| Scorp_ | genewitch: the first hop is 192.168.1.1 | 06:01 |
| bobertdos | Kurakuea: Well, by default, Samba's workgroup name is MSHOME, but if Samba's workgroup and Window's don't match, you won't see your shares. So that's the first thing we need to be sure of, is that they match. | 06:01 |
| genewitch | Scorp_: try those links i gave you | 06:01 |
| guest808080 | TokenBad: have you tried dpkg-reconfigure -phigh xserver-xorg | 06:01 |
| stoneCold__ | -.- | 06:02 |
| El_dudo | bobertdos: done | 06:02 |
| akaaka | oh god this was so easy thanks a lot guys | 06:02 |
| Kurakuea | understandable, where do i config the workgroup? i have terminal open if that is the route to go | 06:02 |
| Blaqlight | TokenBad: I think you have to sudo dpkg -reconfigure -plow xorg-xserver | 06:02 |
| akaaka | sometimes im so slow | 06:02 |
| Scorp_ | genewitch: The :80 page loaded the title but not the rest. Could it also be because it extensively uses Java... Though i have java 6 installed.. | 06:02 |
| TokenBad | guest808080 yes we tried that | 06:02 |
| Varanger | join ##c | 06:02 |
| Blaqlight | before you do it I may have the entire command wrong. | 06:02 |
| genewitch | Scorp_: it might be a java issue, are you trying in firefox? | 06:03 |
| Scorp_ | genewitch: The three pages dont work... | 06:03 |
| Scorp_ | genewitch: Yes.. | 06:03 |
| Blaqlight | darn I think Im missing a switch somewhere. | 06:03 |
| bobertdos | El_dudo: No errors? Type ls. If you see an aqua libjavaplugin_oji.so there, the command worked. | 06:03 |
| Scorp_ | genewitch: Its working even on my mobile's wireless... Dono y not on the system.. :( | 06:03 |
| genewitch | Scorp_: I'd see if it worked in lynx or opera and then complain to linksys/mozilla about it | 06:04 |
| genewitch | Scorp_: it could just be a whack bug, is the firmware up to date on the router? | 06:04 |
| genewitch | Scorp_: also make sure you're not running any addons in firefox when you're doing it, adblockers et al might prohibit certain functionality | 06:04 |
| Blaqlight | TokenBad: this is what you need : sudo dpkg-reconfigure -phigh xserver-xorg | 06:05 |
| Scorp_ | genewitch: Yes.. Hey, does opera work on ubuntu ??? | 06:05 |
| bobertdos | Kurakuea: The file you need to edit is /etc/samba/smb.conf. So type: gksudo gedit /etc/samba/smb.conf | 06:05 |
| Blaqlight | sorry | 06:05 |
| TokenBad | Blaqlight ok..tried that..not work | 06:05 |
| genewitch | Scorp_: my girlfriend uses opera on ubuntu 8.04 | 06:05 |
| FAJALOU | for advanced options in grub's menu.lst, should i add ro as an advanced option? | 06:05 |
| Blaqlight | Scorp_: opera works perfectly | 06:05 |
| guest808080 | TokenBad can you pastebin your /etc/X11/xorg.conf file here -> pastebin.ca | 06:05 |
| Scorp_ | Blaqlight: Thats kewl... I'll just try it. | 06:06 |
| TokenBad | Blaqlight, http://paste.ubuntu.com/30203/ | 06:06 |
| bobertdos | Kurakuea: Somewhere in there you'll find a line for workgroup. Set it to what you want, save the file, close. Then: sudo /etc/init.d/samba restart | 06:06 |
| Kurakuea | ok all i get is a blank window | 06:06 |
| El_dudo | bobertdos: it's there, but in red, do I need to chmod +x | 06:06 |
| jeeves__ | can someone tell me where I can d-load the modprobe "toshiba_apci"? | 06:06 |
| bullgard4 | What does the acronym 'dtiming' stand for? What does it mean? (see http://www.cyberciti.biz/faq/howto-use-linux-ddcprobe-command/) | 06:07 |
| xakh | yo. | 06:07 |
| Blaqlight | lol TokenBad you only have one resolution set in your xorg file. | 06:07 |
| * Xerxes gropes Kurakuea. | 06:07 | |
| xakh | I could use a little help | 06:07 |
| El_dudo | bobertdos: that's red with a black background | 06:07 |
| guest808080 | what resoluiton did you want TakenBad ? | 06:07 |
| TokenBad | Blaqlight everytime change it..and reboot..it says its in low graphics mode and to configure..then when do it resets to what its at now | 06:07 |
| guest808080 | TokenBad | 06:07 |
| Blaqlight | TokenBad: this is what you need : sudo dpkg-reconfigure -phigh xserver-xorg | 06:08 |
| TokenBad | Blaqlight have tried that multiple times | 06:08 |
| Scorp_ | Needed to ask, why is the ubuntu updates and Synaptic download speed too low ??? The Net works pretty fast otherwise.. | 06:08 |
| bobertdos | El_dudo: No, I probably mixed up the path. | 06:08 |
| Blaqlight | cause the monitor refresh rates will prevent anything else from running Im sure. hence low graphics mode. | 06:08 |
| TokenBad | guest808080 1400 x 1050 | 06:08 |
| unop | Blaqlight, TokenBad - that command might not generate enough info in xorg.conf with the newer xorg | 06:08 |
| bobertdos | El_dudo: type: rm libjavaplugin_oji.so | 06:08 |
| guest808080 | TokenBad try sudo lshw and check that the graphics driver doesn't say UNCLAIMED | 06:08 |
| El_dudo | bobertdos: ok | 06:09 |
| bobertdos | El_dudo: sudo rm libjavaplugin_oji.so | 06:09 |
| El_dudo | bobertdos: done | 06:09 |
| Kurakuea | when i open smb.conf all i get is a blank window | 06:10 |
| Blaqlight | unop: I see what you mean. I just checked further down mine and its extremely vaugue. | 06:10 |
| TokenBad | is 8.10 out yet? | 06:10 |
| guest808080 | TokenBad refresh rates seem ok to me for LCD but maybe I'm wrong | 06:10 |
| Blaqlight | unop insinuating there might be more than one file. | 06:10 |
| unop | TokenBad, not officially no | 06:10 |
| TokenBad | unop ok | 06:11 |
| Svenstaro | TokenBad, an alpha is out, yes. If you're keen go ahead and test it :P | 06:11 |
| unop | Blaqlight, the new xorg tries not to use any configuration files - it's heading to be automagic | 06:11 |
| TokenBad | guest808080 well after all this..the friend turns out the monitor is the 14 inch which will not support the resolution he wanted | 06:11 |
| TokenBad | Svenstaro where can get that? | 06:11 |

| Scorp_ | Guys, Ubuntu servers are running too slow these days, is it ??? | 06:12 |
| meoblast001 | he fixed a problem i've had on my laptop for quite some time | 06:12 |
| Blaqlight | if you can see the file you can edit it, if its not directly editable and its broken your in trouble. | 06:13 |
| unop | Blaqlight, it shouldn't be scary - a fixed configuration doesn't let you be flexible especially that people nowadays want to use a variety of pluggable hardware | 06:13 |
| itai-michaelson | is there a keyring-manager in hardy? | 06:13 |
| TokenBad | Svenstaro thanks | 06:13 |
| Blaqlight | itai-michaelson: yes | 06:13 |
| El_dudo | bobertdos: there we go. | 06:13 |
| itai-michaelson | Blaqlight, erm..where? | 06:13 |
| unop | Blaqlight, though i would say xorg isn't fully there yet - it'll take time for it to get things right all the time | 06:14 |
| El_dudo | bobertdos: Java shows up in the about:plugins | 06:14 |

| El_dudo | Thanks again, goodnight all. | 06:15 |
| itai-michaelson | Blaqlight, sorry....i was expecting "keyring manager"...silly me | 06:16 |
| Blaqlight | itai-michaelson: its ok | 06:16 |
| Blaqlight | itai-michaelson: next time you can use locate filename to find something. | 06:16 |
| Blaqlight | or find.. | 06:16 |
| itai-michaelson | Blaqlight, i'm not sure I understand the terminology though, it asks me for a keyring password everytime i try to access smb share. i want to automate it | 06:17 |
| itai-michaelson | now it says "login automaticaly unlocked" | 06:17 |
| Blaqlight | once its stored on the keyring it will stop asking | 06:17 |
| Blaqlight | either way Ive gotta go. | 06:17 |
| Blaqlight | sorry | 06:17 |

| guest808080 | you're welcome | 06:34 |
| CaptainMorgan | hmm... typically it's best to install XP first, then Ubuntu..... but... I suppose you could make a backup of grub now, install XP and then do a grub-install.. but since Ubuntu install is typically swift, I would do XP first | 06:35 |
| CaptainMorgan | type of setup(grub-install that is) point being, it gets a little messy | 06:35 |

| Digg | how do i force check hd at bootup? since fsck -t ext /sda1 obvously is not smart | 06:42 |
| nickrud | itai-michaelson you would need to have either the package edubuntu-artwork or fiesty-session-splashes to have that file on your system | 06:43 |

| arvind_khadri | Vezir, use audacious | 06:52 |
| secludedsage | Excuse me. Is there any deb package of Ubuntu Installer available? I mean have a installer installed in my mobile harddisk as I could install my system on other's computer. | 06:53 |
| pogay | GirlRiver. it look like the kernel doesn't see the filesystem, and therefore doesn't see init script | 06:53 |
| Voxicles | lol, nm, I guess I can lok it up | 06:53 |
| nickrud | itai-michaelson or at least it was, a couple releases ago | 06:53 |
| itai-michaelson | nickrud, i can change it with startupmanager but i want to put an image instead | 06:53 |
| GirlRiver | pogay: i dont know what you mean, sorry | 06:53 |
| arvind_khadri | Voxicles, it will have the drivers installed for you..you wont have to compile them | 06:53 |
| Voxicles | drivers for mt ati card? | 06:53 |
| nickrud | itai-michaelson ah, they've moved it there ;) No, I don't think you can put an image there but I'm not sure. a sec | 06:53 |
| pogay | GirlRiver: how do you boot? From the grub start-menu? | 06:54 |
| arvind_khadri | Voxicles, yeah they do have drivers for most of the card | 06:54 |
| Flannel | Voxicles: install xmms2 | 06:54 |
| piero | Hi! I got a segmentation fault on synaptic. How can I post this bug? synaptic[29988]: segfault at 0 ip 0 sp 7fff1b6a3298 error 14 in synaptic[400000+be000] | 06:54 |
| deserteagle | ok so seriously... no one's had the issue I'm having? | 06:54 |
| Flannel | Voxicles: just install the package. | 06:54 |
| jerome_ | Is there a way to resolve the evolution-exchange error when creating a new account under Hardy Heron? (Could not connect to server. Make sure the URL is correct then try again.) | 06:54 |
| GirlRiver | pogay: I think so | 06:54 |
| arvind_khadri | Flannel, it wasnt him :) it was Vezir | 06:54 |
| pogay | o.k. you are quite new to ubuntu and linux? | 06:55 |
| Voxicles | Well, the ati driver I installed ealier is working, it jsut wont let me use compiz, or any window decorations | 06:55 |
| Flannel | Mmm, you're right. | 06:55 |
| Jandoriascain | deserteagle did you have any ideas? | 06:55 |
| Flannel | Vezir: install the xmms2 package | 06:55 |
| arvind_khadri | Flannel, it happens nm :) | 06:55 |
| nickrud | itai-michaelson here's a link to a script that does that: http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=753261 | 06:55 |

| arvind_khadri | Voxicles, thats ok ... | 06:55 |
| nickrud | itai-michaelson read all the pages there | 06:55 |
| Jandoriascain | Voxicles, what are you trying to do? | 06:55 |
| Voxicles | I'm trying to find a suitable dual monitor setup that will allow me to use compiz | 06:56 |
| Jandoriascain | I had trouble with the same thing | 06:56 |
| deserteagle | Jandoriascain: on your sound drivers issue? afaik wine doesn't need sound drivers | 06:56 |
| piero | Oh no! My synaptic is dead! :( | 06:56 |
| GirlRiver | pogay: sorry .. yes .. from grub start menu | 06:57 |
| Voxicles | Right now, the setup is perfect, both monitors are independent, blah blah, but compiz won't activate | 06:57 |
| pogay | GirlRiver it's possible to edit the grub lines and make changements... | 06:57 |
| Jandoriascain | Are you using Twinview or Separate X on them? | 06:57 |
| lnostdal | is there some brokenness going on with FF3 in the latest updates? | 06:57 |
| GirlRiver | pogay: yes, total newb .. but i am brave :-) | 06:57 |

| pogay | GirlRiver an doesn't work :-) | 06:58 |
| Jandoriascain | Voxicles: Oh, I'm using an nvidia card, nividia settings and aticonfig are probably different | 06:58 |
| GirlRiver | pogay: no .. have been running happily for months ... machine was switched off when kids went away and now it won;t start up again | 06:58 |
| Voxicles | Jand, that's what people keep telling me lol "Oh, I can help you fix that, oh weait, it's ati, nevermind :-P | 06:59 |
| GirlRiver | pogay: have just turned the machine on and have nothing .. no message at all :-( black screen | 06:59 |
| pogay | GirlRiver: you didn't make changements on the hard drive partitons? | 07:00 |
| Jandoriascain | It's not that I have anything against ATI, just don't have the card | 07:00 |
| GirlRiver | pogay: no nothing like that .. no hardware changes | 07:00 |
| fuzzy__ | Voxicles: yeah I have the same deal except I can't even get the drivers to load without locking my system on a blank screen | 07:00 |

| pogay | can you boot from a CD? You can try, and check whether you can access your data | 07:01 |
| arvind_khadri | Voxicles, do it on a terminal | 07:01 |
| GirlRiver | pogay: crying now | 07:01 |
| Voxicles | will that override my current ati drivers? | 07:01 |
| jerome_ | GirlRiver: Is your monitor plugged in the right port on computer and in power outlet? (Sometimes overlooked!! ;) ) | 07:01 |
| arvind_khadri | Voxicles, yeah they will | 07:02 |
| GirlRiver | jerome_: yes, have double checked and all is ok | 07:02 |
| arvind_khadri | Voxicles, they will install envy first and then if you select to install the drivers then your drivers maybe affected | 07:02 |
| pogay | GirlRiver: it's a good chance, to start from CD and backup the data, if computer problems | 07:02 |
| stage73 | hey everyone :) does anyone have a suggestion for a VNC client that can shrink / zoom the screen on the client end? | 07:03 |
| Voxicles | Can't find the envy package, need to dl it first from the web, or can I do it from term? | 07:03 |

| owen1 | how to convert my shuffle to simple audio player? | 07:03 |
| Trinix | all VNC can do that? you just head towards the screen resolution preferences | 07:03 |
| arvind_khadri | Voxicles, do it from the terminal ...copy paste the command i gave you | 07:03 |

| GirlRiver | pogay: thanks for your advice | 07:04 |
| glitsj16 | GirlRiver: what kernel are you on ? you might have been hit by kernel 2.6.24-20 which doesn't work .. if you have updates set to install automatically and have hardy-proposed active in your repository list that would account for the trouble .. just a long shot | 07:04 |
| pogay | GirlRiver. I already had a problem, when plugin in a computer, something didn't startup. After a while it worked again, may be the batterie | 07:04 |
| GirlRiver | I will try a cd | 07:04 |

| akaaka | hello does anyone know if xubuntu also come with the UVC drivers for webcam just as ubutu does? | 07:05 |
| pogay | GirlRiver: do you have a bootable ubuntu or Linux CD? | 07:05 |
| arvind_khadri | Voxicles, you must have the repositories enabled...check them under System->Administration->Software sources | 07:05 |
| stage73 | Trinix: yeah, no problem getting the client to come up - just can't scale it to fit my screen | 07:05 |
| Trinix | which distro is it? | 07:05 |
| arvind_khadri | akaaka, ask #xubuntu | 07:05 |

| pogay | GirlRiver: if not, you can use a small Distro like puppy-linux | 07:06 |
| GirlRiver | pogay: yes, have a liveCD | 07:06 |
| stage73 | using Ubuntu Studio on both ends | 07:06 |
| pogay | GirlRiver: fine | 07:06 |
| Trinix | ah | 07:06 |
| Trinix | using Gnome right? | 07:06 |
| stage73 | yeah - vino is the server | 07:06 |
| pogay | stage73. do you work with rt-kernel? | 07:07 |
| nomad727 | Voxicles: sudo apt-get installenvy-ng? | 07:07 |
| stage73 | the rt kernel is what is built into Ubuntu Studio, yep :) | 07:07 |
| Trinix | Menu: System > Preferences > Screen Resolution | 07:07 |
| nomad727 | whoops | 07:07 |
| GirlRiver | glitsj16: if it is the kernel that doesn't work, do you know how I can get around it ? | 07:07 |
| Voxicles | lol, I can't find the repositories | 07:08 |
| arvind_khadri | max-ubunt, use document viewer to open pdf | 07:08 |
| pogay | stage73 does everything work as usual? for example burning CDs? (I have some problems) | 07:08 |

| |Louis| | Voxicles: when did the first crash occur and do you remember installing any new softwares before the crashes? | 07:09 |
| glitsj16 | GirlRiver: okay, if you have other entrees in your GRUB menu, booting into an older one would work .. if it is actually the 2.6.24-20 causing the issue, just wait for a fix to come out, it's already marked as critical so that won't take all that long, you can remove it or change your GRUB /boot/grub/menu.lst and set it to boot into a working kernel manually by changing the "default" number to the kernel that's still working | 07:09 |
| stage73 | pogay: on an R61i here. i did have issues with wlan | 07:09 |
| Voxicles | Louis, I installed Ubu fresh this morning, so I can't really give you a hypothosis | 07:10 |
| stage73 | most of my issues on this machine were solved by killing the splash screen believe it or not | 07:10 |
| |Louis| | Ah, right | 07:10 |
| pogay | stage73: but it's possible kind of start the modules manually? | 07:10 |

| Daniel_2 | anyone help? | 07:11 |
| pogay | stage73: would be nice, to have a hint on the wiki, how to troubleshoot | 07:11 |
| * arvind_khadri looks | 07:11 | |
| stage73 | pogay, have you found any help on the thinkpad wiki | 07:11 |
| stage73 | i know yours isn't a thinkpad | 07:11 |
| stage73 | but | 07:11 |
| stage73 | i did see some stuff for the 3000 series there | 07:11 |
| stage73 | i thought :) | 07:11 |
| FloodBot1 | stage73: Please don't flood, use http://paste.ubuntu.com to paste, don't use Enter as punctuation. | 07:11 |
| pogay | stage73, no, but very similar | 07:12 |
| arvind_khadri | Voxicles, run sudo apt-get update | 07:12 |
| Voxicles | mkay, just ran it a couple hours ago | 07:12 |
| Daniel_2 | Can anyone in here help me get started with Ubuntu? I'm d/l-ing it now, and have a feeling I'm way over my head. :( | 07:12 |
| pogay | stage73, for my laptop there is a good wikipage. | 07:12 |
| pogay | stage73, but I only have probs with rt-kernel | 07:13 |
| arvind_khadri | Voxicles, run again ... | 07:13 |
| Voxicles | I ams :-) | 07:13 |

| stage73 | pogay - the main problems i had with the rt kernel were in trying to run it under Wubi on my desktop box. no problems here that are specifically related | 07:13 |
| ubottu | Daniel_2: A large amount of the first questions asked in this channel start with "Does anyone/anybody..." Why not ask your next question (the real one) and find out? | 07:13 |
| bazhang | Daniel_2, troubleshooting before you install? | 07:13 |
| Voxicles | kk, done | 07:13 |
| arvind_khadri | Voxicles, now do the envy thing | 07:13 |
| arvind_khadri | Voxicles, sudo apt-get install envyng-core envny-gtk | 07:14 |
| pogay | stage73. virtualbox didn't work either | 07:14 |
| Voxicles | Reading state information... Done | 07:14 |
| Voxicles | E: Couldn't find package envny-gtk | 07:14 |
| stage73 | huh, vbox works perfectly on the r61 | 07:14 |
| Daniel_2 | Bazhang, I need help with EVERY facet of this program. How to install it over Vista, how to install programs into it afterwards, and onwards from there. | 07:14 |
| stage73 | have you tried with ubuntu studio or did you just swap in kernels onto normal hardy | 07:14 |
| bazhang | Daniel_2, over vista or alongside it | 07:14 |
| arvind_khadri | Voxicles, sorry i did a typo!!!! :S it is envyng-gtk and envyng-core | 07:15 |
| Daniel_2 | Bazhang, I'm hoping alongside it. I don't want to lose vista | 07:15 |
| * arvind_khadri is sorry | 07:15 | |
| Daniel_2 | Bazhang, at least until i've tried ubuntu out and determined if i like it. | 07:15 |
| stage73 | daniel you might want to check out Wubi | 07:15 |
| bazhang | Daniel_2, first step is to md5 the iso; let me get you a link | 07:15 |
| stage73 | sold me on a full install :) | 07:15 |
| Voxicles | it's goin' now | 07:15 |
| arvind_khadri | !wubi | Daniel_2 | 07:15 |
| bazhang | !md5 | Daniel_2 | 07:15 |
| ubottu | Daniel_2: Wubi is an Ubuntu installer for Windows users that allows you to install and uninstall Ubuntu like a Windows application, in a simple and safe way. http://wubi-installer.org/support.php for troubleshooting. Please file bugs at http://launchpad.net/wubi/+filebug. | 07:15 |
| ubottu | Daniel_2: 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 | 07:15 |
| pogay | stage73: it's not so much a problem, because i don't need the rt-features at the moment, and the software I need works with the normal kernel | 07:16 |
| Daniel_2 | Ubottu, none of what u said that second time sounded like english. | 07:16 |
| ubottu | Daniel_2: Error: I am only a bot, please don't think I'm intelligent :) | 07:16 |
| Stanton | does anybody know how i could get my Wirless adapter linksys WUSB54GSC to work with ubuntu? i got ndiswrapper to decect it but i cant connect to the internet unless i am on windows... | 07:16 |
| bazhang | Daniel_2, you need to read the links | 07:16 |
| Daniel_2 | I know how to run an .iso file. I have daemon tools... that works, right? | 07:16 |
| stage73 | pogay, i can definitely confirm that rt is working well with vbox on both machines i have | 07:16 |
| pogay | stage73: strange... | 07:17 |
| Daniel_2 | I'll do the Wubi thing, but now the question is: does Ubuntu run OVER Vista, or does it run without vista being started? | 07:17 |
| stage73 | i took the Easy Way Out with Studio though :) | 07:17 |
| Flannel | Daniel_2: It runs without Vista being started | 07:17 |
| LimCore | hi | 07:17 |
| Voxicles | Arvind, it's done | 07:17 |

| ubottu | LimCore: Hi! Welcome to #ubuntu! | 07:17 |
| LimCore | my media players have epilepsy, can this be fixed? | 07:17 |
| pogay | stage73. I mean I can't start virtualbox when I start with rt-kernel | 07:17 |
| stage73 | i hear you | 07:18 |
| Hobbsee | LimCore: quick, take them to a doctor! | 07:18 |
| Daniel_2 | that's what i'm looking for. so when i install ubuntu (new version) does it come with any pre-packed programs? I at least need internet to get everything else going. | 07:18 |
| arvind_khadri | Voxicles, now open it ...Application->System tools | 07:18 |
| LimCore | Hobbsee: ok, what should we do doctor? | 07:18 |
| stage73 | i can start four instances of it if i'm feeling masochistic | 07:18 |
| bazhang | Daniel_2, is this wireless or wired | 07:18 |
| stage73 | which rt kernel? | 07:18 |
| Hobbsee | LimCore: reboot the machine? | 07:18 |
| Daniel_2 | Bazhang, so far, wireless. but i can plug in if necessary | 07:18 |
| LimCore | Hobbsee: nvidia binary, on cpu loads say 0.5 (1 of 2 cores), all players jump like crazy | 07:18 |
| LimCore | Hobbsee: all the time | 07:18 |
| Hobbsee | LimCore: better go talk to nvidia. that doesn't happen to me with a free card. | 07:19 |
| === gardar is now known as gardar`afk | ||
| mpthompson | Daniel_2, I believe Wubi runs Ubuntu instead of Vista. It's just that Ubuntu uses file space in the Windows file system rather than a separate partition. | 07:19 |
| deserteagle | so does anyone know why some of my videos all of the sudden started making like a scratching noise instead of audio when i play them back? | 07:19 |
| pogay | stage73: which version of ubuntu you have (i work with 7.10) | 07:19 |
| LimCore | Hobbsee: although it is strange how 3d games work greate with 100 fps+ | 07:19 |
| bazhang | Daniel_2, once you have md5'd the iso (see bot link above) and burned the iso at low speed to cd, booted into livecd then we can determine how much troubleshooting you really need | 07:19 |
| stage73 | pogay, both installs are fresh 8.04.1 installs | 07:19 |
| WatchDragon | wasen't knoppix supposed to be "the linux gaming OS" | 07:19 |
| LimCore | but playing any media movie with 25 fps proves to be hard | 07:19 |
| bazhang | WatchDragon, no | 07:19 |
| stage73 | had them going about two weeks now | 07:19 |
| Daniel_2 | Bazhang, I can't just run the Iso from Daemon Tools (shadow drive program) | 07:20 |
| Daniel_2 | ? | 07:20 |
| arvind_khadri | WatchDragon, nope :P | 07:20 |
| Flannel | Daniel_2: It does. Do you have a LiveCD and have you tried it? http://www.ubuntu.com/products/whatisubuntu/desktopedition has a rundown of some of the features included (included means on the install, not available from the internet) | 07:20 |
| LimCore | Hobbsee: ok I will boot up with nv just to prove you wrong =) | 07:20 |
| WatchDragon | hmm | 07:20 |
| owen1 | max-ubunt: hi | 07:20 |
| owen1 | how to convert my shuffle to simple audio player? | 07:20 |
| pogay | stage73: o.k I just have installed a 8.04, I can triy there... | 07:20 |
| mpthompson | To run Ubuntu within Vista you need a solution like CoLinux which runs the kernel as a Windows process. | 07:20 |
| WatchDragon | im gonna switch back to XP, Lunix hates my ATI card =( | 07:20 |
| Stanton | does anybody know how i could get my Wirless adapter linksys WUSB54GSC to work with ubuntu? i got ndiswrapper to decect it but i cant connect to the internet unless i am on windows... | 07:20 |
| arvind_khadri | WatchDragon, try envy | 07:20 |
| Zcc0 | howdy! | 07:20 |
| WatchDragon | envy? | 07:21 |
| bazhang | ##windows WatchDragon and good luck | 07:21 |
| nectron | howdy | 07:21 |
| arvind_khadri | !envy | WatchDragon | 07:21 |
| ubottu | WatchDragon: envyng is an updated version of the *UNSUPPORTED* envy package. It is now part of the ubuntu universe repository (envyng-gtk OR envyng-qt) we suggest you use envyng if every other (official/supported) method fails! it can have various results from works, to fails!!! if you want the very latest drivers from the manufacturer you use them at your own risk | 07:21 |
| stage73 | yeah pogay i've had great luck with 2.6.24-19rt and 8.04.1 | 07:21 |
| Zcc0 | exit | 07:21 |
| Daniel_2 | So does Daemon Tools work instead of having to burn the file onto a CD (which i dont have right now)? | 07:21 |
| pogay | mpthompson: andlinux (based on CoLinux) allows to run X-Applications from Windows | 07:22 |
| GirlRiver | glitsj16: thanks | 07:23 |
| arvind_khadri | Voxicles, what happend? | 07:23 |
| glitsj16 | GirlRiver: you're welcome .. so it was the 2.6.24-20 ? | 07:23 |
| zeeeee | how do i tell whether my usb disks are plugged into usb2 ports? | 07:23 |
| pogay | GirlRiver: does the CD boot? | 07:24 |
| zeeeee | *external usb disks | 07:24 |
| zeeeee | also, a separate but related qusetion: how do i tell which ports are usb2 ports? | 07:24 |
| Daniel_2 | Okay everyone, I'm going to attempt to install Ubuntu now. Wish me luck! | 07:24 |
| mpthompson | pogay: I believe andLinux is Ubuntu based which makes it nice for Unbuntu folks. Xming is the X-Windows solution for which is an excellent application. | 07:24 |
| bazhang | Daniel_2, never used daemon tools; for checking compatibility it should be okay as long as you can do it ##windows for more info on that | 07:25 |
| stage73 | Trinix if you're still there and interested in the VNC screen-scale issue... scaling down on my server is not really an option | 07:25 |
| ahorner | I just turned on my pc and its running about 5 fps for som reason, any ideas? | 07:25 |
| GirlRiver | glitsj16: not sure yet .. we can't even get to BIOS info, still can't get to Grub start point | 07:25 |
| |Louis| | God, these random freezes are going to kill me! | 07:25 |
| LimCore | with nv, media playuers also have epilepsy | 07:25 |
| Daniel_2 | Bazhang, Daemon Tools just runs a .iso file as if it were on a CD by tricking your computer into thinking it has an extra CD drive. | 07:25 |
| LimCore | Hobbsee: ^ | 07:25 |
| LimCore | althoug a bit other type (slower jumps) probably because all playback is slooowwww | 07:26 |
| pogay | mptompsom: I used CoLinux as Server under win, was impressed. I have to try andLinux, but I work under ubuntu now. | 07:26 |
| GirlRiver | pogay: not yet ... | 07:26 |
| max-ubunt | K, I've submitted my question to the forums. | 07:26 |
| bazhang | Daniel_2, by all means go for it; best to be wired though when you do so unless you know your wireless chipset right now | 07:26 |
| zeeeee | (i'm only getting 8.6 MB/s copies from external to external) | 07:26 |
| Stanton | can anyone help me get my Wirless adapter linksys WUSB54GSC to work with ubuntu? i got ndiswrapper to decect it but i cant connect to the internet i've followed the instructions on the forums but i cant get it to work. | 07:27 |
| Daniel_2 | Bazhang, I have whatever came with my Toshiba Satellite A215 | 07:27 |
| stage73 | anybody else have a VNC client that can downscale the server-side screen resolution on the client side? | 07:27 |
| LSD|Ninja | Screen Sharing in Mac OS X Leopard does that | 07:28 |
| bazhang | Daniel_2, well that tells us very little; best to be wired then and we can examine from live cd | 07:28 |
| Daniel_2 | Bazhang, what the heck is LiveCD? | 07:28 |
| stage73 | sure, and so does UltraVNC under XP... so far i can't do it under Ubuntu though :) | 07:28 |
| jeeves__ | has anyone had white "bars" accross windows when they install the nVidia drivers, and max out the effects? | 07:28 |
| kc8pxy | i am part of a group that does a lot of ubuntu installs, on a poor internet connection. i thought about possibly creating a privae mirror, but i dont seen any info on the specifics on how to do that. where do i find that info? | 07:28 |
| bazhang | Daniel_2, that is the non-install part of the cd that lets you shop before you buy (in a manner of speaking); you look at the features and then can choose to install or not. | 07:29 |
| ahorner | I think theres something wrong with my video drivers because everything is REALLY slow like 2 fps but my mouse is fine and it wasnt like this till i restarted. any ideas? | 07:29 |
| Daniel_2 | Bazhang, oh. So how does LiveCD determine if I can run wireless? | 07:29 |
| Voxicles | having wireless issues, taking forever to dl | 07:30 |
| bullgard4 | What does the acronym 'dtiming' stand for? What does it mean? (see http://www.cyberciti.biz/faq/howto-use-linux-ddcprobe-command/) | 07:30 |
| stage73 | ahorner do you have Compiz turned on? | 07:30 |
| bazhang | Daniel_2, it will give us a clue on how easy it will be to setup wireless | 07:30 |
| Hobbsee | LimCore: then i have no idea. no one else has come in saying that their music players have epilepsy before. have you searched for bugs? | 07:30 |
| Daniel_2 | Bazhang, okay. well, i can't find my wire, but i'll see where i can get on the install without it. | 07:30 |
| ahorner | stage73: yes and its been on for a few days but i just noticed this. i know for sure my pc can handle it | 07:30 |
| monoufo | hi | 07:30 |
| LimCore | Hobbsee: not music players, media players - video players. | 07:31 |
| stage73 | ahorner i imagine it can, but i would turn that stuff off just to see what happens | 07:31 |
| integrand | I have a Second Life question | 07:31 |
| bazhang | Daniel_2, you wont be able to install from the mount like afaik | 07:31 |
| ahorner | stage73: how would i do that from terminal | 07:31 |
| integrand | I get this: bus_callback:311: GST error: You do not have a decoder installed to handle this file. You might need to install the necessary plugins. | 07:31 |
| stage73 | ahorner ooh that bad huh :) | 07:31 |
| ahorner | stage73: yes. lol i cant even boot ff3 | 07:31 |
| monoufo | i pity the foo with comcast | 07:32 |
| ahorner | i can barely drag windows around | 07:32 |
| bazhang | monoufo, offtopic | 07:32 |
| Kattman | Daniel_2: do you know the make and model of your wifi card ? | 07:32 |
| bazhang | kc8pxy, mirror a repo? it is very big you realize | 07:32 |
| Daniel_2 | Bazhang, found the wire. You are saying Daemon tools won't work? | 07:32 |
| ahorner | stage73: can't i do something --replace? | 07:33 |
| berent | berent | 07:33 |
| ahorner | gnome --replace? | 07:33 |
| Daniel_2 | Kattman, i can check what comes standard on the Toshiba satellite A215 | 07:33 |
| bazhang | Daniel_2, to mount sure, to install likely not | 07:33 |
| bazhang | ahorner, metacity --replace | 07:33 |
| Stanton | if i got a live cd of the updates would that help me setup a wirless internet connection i have linksys WUSB54GSC | 07:33 |
| Daniel_2 | Bazhang, I have to give it a shot. all i can do until i get more CDs | 07:33 |
| ahorner | ahh much better | 07:33 |
| ahorner | oh | 07:33 |
| ahorner | no its the same | 07:33 |
| ahorner | well | 07:33 |
| Kattman | Check I have a tosiba a55 and it worked ! | 07:33 |
| ahorner | a tiny bit better | 07:33 |
| snarkster | stanton do ao search in synaptic for wusb54gsc | 07:34 |
| FloodBot1 | ahorner: Please don't flood, use http://paste.ubuntu.com to paste, don't use Enter as punctuation. | 07:34 |
| ahorner | about 10 fps | 07:34 |
| LSD|Ninja | snarkster: that Linksys? | 07:34 |
| Stanton | snarkster, i have no internet on linux | 07:34 |
| bazhang | seems to be broadcom | 07:34 |
| ahorner | should i reconfigure my xorg config | 07:34 |
| snarkster | well your hear right? so then google it and see if there is a driver | 07:34 |
| Voxicles | damn wirless | 07:34 |
| snarkster | then download said package and copy it over via floppy disk if you have to | 07:35 |
| stage73 | ahorner is x working for you at all | 07:35 |
| kc8pxy | bazhang: yes. but better to have a local copy and transer at lan speeds, than have everyone suffer. just got a new box i found in the warehouse, 12x34GB scsi drives in a hw raid controller :) yes, it still might be tight, but doable, IIRC. | 07:35 |
| Stanton | snarkster, i got ndiswrapper to decect it just i cant get ubuntu to connect.. | 07:35 |
| snarkster | then you can install it as necessarily | 07:35 |
| bazhang | Daniel_2, best to see it before you really install (btw it will be quite a bit slower that way) | 07:35 |
| snarkster | stanton oh ndiswrapper is working? | 07:35 |
| ahorner | stage73: how do i tell (im a bit new to linux) | 07:35 |
| stage73 | ahorner me too :) | 07:35 |
| berent | Is there any job for a laid back person? | 07:35 |
| Daniel_2 | Bazhang, I understand. I have time. Wireless card Atheros AR5007EG B/G | 07:35 |
| Stanton | snarkster, yea i type "ndiswrapper -l and it says drivers are installed. | 07:35 |
| bazhang | kc8pxy, think it was around 40 some GB for the whole repo mirror iirc | 07:36 |
| stage73 | ahorner blind leading the blind, but i do know the ubuntu option to turn things off in a cmd prompt is gnome-appearance-properties | 07:36 |
| bazhang | Daniel_2, same as on eeepc; will work with a bit of fiddling | 07:36 |
| Chaotic_Descent | FireFox keeps crashing. it was doing this even before I updated it. I wonder if it was the Flash plugin that someone told me to replace. | 07:36 |
| snarkster | stanton awesome then lets begin , if you would pm me so i can keep it straight then i will get you connected, please take notes. | 07:36 |
| ahorner | ok thanks stage | 07:36 |
| Chaotic_Descent | certain websites just seem to doom FireFox to close itself. | 07:36 |
| stage73 | ahorner np wish i could be of more help, does it start? | 07:36 |
| bazhang | Chaotic_Descent, how many extensions, and do they include downthemall | 07:36 |
| Daniel_2 | Bazhang fiddling is okay. just want the shit to work. and i can't play the fiddle, so someone's gonna have to teach me if u get what i mean | 07:36 |
| kc8pxy | bazhang: nice:) more room to spare :) where do i find the "howto"? | 07:36 |
| bazhang | Daniel_2, please dont curse | 07:37 |
| berent | Is there any job for a laid back person? | 07:37 |
| Daniel_2 | sry | 07:37 |
| Chaotic_Descent | bazhang: extentions? no downthemall. never heard of that. | 07:37 |
| kc8pxy | bazhang: or do i just cron a wget?:) | 07:37 |
| bazhang | kc8pxy, how many machines we talking? | 07:37 |
| Hobbsee | berent: ? | 07:37 |
| Voxicles | Crap, I forgot who I was talking to before DC | 07:37 |
| kc8pxy | bazhang: www.freegeekcolumbus.org | 07:38 |
| berent | Hobbsee: I wanted to know any jobs suited for a person who is laid back. | 07:38 |
| Hobbsee | berent: surely that's a question for #ubuntu-offtopic? | 07:38 |
| bazhang | kc8pxy, so open-ended then? upwards of several hundred ? | 07:39 |
| kc8pxy | bazhang: possibly. we utrn them out as we get enough parts donated :) | 07:39 |
| bazhang | Chaotic_Descent, what extensions do you have, are you running compiz, how many plugins on that, what else is going on (ie many flash tabs etc) how much ram what video card and driver and how installed etc | 07:40 |
| ahorner | stage78: sorry had to log, what do i do? | 07:40 |
| stage73 | did you get the gnome prefs dialog up? | 07:40 |
| bullgard4 | '~$ sudo ddcprobe; dtiming: 1280x800@60'. What is meant by 'dtiming'? | 07:40 |
| Daniel_2 | Bazhang, I feel as though LiveCD will not work. I'll just have to take my chances and run Ubuntu after install. If no internet, I'll be back. | 07:40 |
| ahorner | i dont remember what to do | 07:40 |
| ahorner | let me reconfigure xorg | 07:40 |
| bazhang | kc8pxy, I seem to recall a thread on ubuntuforums on this; there is also a user around hereabouts who has successfully done it, just trying to remember his/her name atm | 07:41 |
| stage73 | ahorner try alt-f2 and gnome-appearance-preferences | 07:41 |
| ahorner | says could not be found | 07:42 |
| stage73 | ahorner ! | 07:42 |
| ahorner | hmm? | 07:42 |
| bazhang | Daniel_2, best way to troubleshoot in that case is connect via a second machine (if you can) and do it that way | 07:42 |
| wbmj | ahorner: I believe you want sudo gnome-appearance-properties | 07:42 |
| stage73 | ahorner - yes, that would be my short term memory failing | 07:42 |
| ahorner | lol | 07:42 |
| stage73 | wbmj thank you for filling in that gap | 07:42 |
| Chaotic_Descent | bazhang: I don't know what an extension is. No compiz. I think all I have is some old Tor button plugin, and what I'm guessing is an older version of the nonfree flash plugin. | 07:42 |
| wbmj | np | 07:42 |
| Chaotic_Descent | bazhang: I don't even know what a flash tab it. you mean FireFox tabs with Flash files running in them? I don't know how to check, but it only takes one single tab open on a certain website to crash. | 07:42 |
| bullgard4 | What does the acronym 'dtiming' stand for? What does it mean? (see http://www.cyberciti.biz/faq/howto-use-linux-ddcprobe-command/) | 07:42 |
| Chaotic_Descent | *is | 07:43 |
| Daniel_2 | Bazhang, not a possibility. It will take just about forever to solve any problems, but It's what I'll have to do without some form of secondary help. Unless anyone can text message me lol | 07:43 |
| ahorner | stage78: nothing is coming up | 07:43 |
| stage73 | ahorner still molasses huh? it should pop up | 07:43 |
| ahorner | well | 07:43 |
| l815 | is it possible to use gnome with xfce window border? | 07:43 |
| bazhang | Daniel_2, good luck then; you are choosing the very most difficult path to follow (on what not need be). | 07:43 |
| ahorner | its a bit better nwo i replaced it with metacity | 07:43 |
| Daniel_2 | Final question folks: Can i access any files on my entire computer from ubuntu (lots of music on this computer). And Bazhang, it's the only option i've got as of right now. | 07:44 |
| stage73 | ahorner y'know that's pretty much what you'd be doing anyway | 07:44 |
| ahorner | i can get through the menus now where do i go | 07:44 |
| wbmj | l815:yes | 07:44 |
| jeeves__ | has anyone figured out the random freezing issue with nVidia cards? | 07:44 |
| Chaotic_Descent | .... huh. I think Java was crashing FireFox. @_@ I just remembered I had turned it on, so I turned it off... | 07:44 |
| stage73 | is anything tying up your system? can you start the sys monitor | 07:44 |
| l815 | wbmj, is there a guide on how to do it ? | 07:44 |
| owen1 | how to convert my shuffle to simple audio player? | 07:44 |
| === fdd-01 is now known as fdd | ||
| ahorner | i just tried to change my resolution and it said: The X Server does not support the XRandR extension. Runtime resolution changes to the display size are not available. | 07:45 |
| Daniel_2 | And away the installation goes. I'm on a landline internet wire, so it should work, right? | 07:45 |
| wbmj | l815:install xfwm4 ....then type xfwm4 --replace | 07:45 |
| RAdams | any exaile! users here successfully sharing their music library with the Music Sharing plugin? I have two machines on the same network that can't see each others' libraries | 07:45 |
| jeeves__ | stage73, can you give me a hand with this nVidia issue? My system randomly freezes, or the screen greys out a bit, then comes back | 07:45 |
| l815 | wbmj, wow easy, thanks :) | 07:46 |
| wbmj | l815: if you want it to stick add xfwm4 --replace to your sessions | 07:46 |
| Voxicles | SO yeah, envy keeps getting errors, and now I have horrible resolution lol | 07:46 |
| stage73 | jeeves, i am prolly the wrong person to help, other than to mention that my nVidia card is kinda horrible in Ubuntu too | 07:46 |
| l815 | now i dont have to deal with metacities horrible black boxes >o< | 07:46 |
| wbmj | l815:np | 07:46 |
| ahorner | whats the command to reconfigure xorg? | 07:46 |
| l815 | xorg --configure? i think | 07:46 |
| ahorner | dpkgreconfigure? | 07:46 |
| Daniel_2_ | now, once i install ubuntu, how do i run it? | 07:46 |
| ahorner | dont remember | 07:46 |
| snarkster | dpkg --reconfigure X | 07:46 |
| snarkster | i think | 07:46 |
| RAdams | ahorner: sudo dpkg-reconfigure xserver-xorg | 07:46 |
| ahorner | thanks | 07:47 |
| wbmj | ahorner sudo dpkg-reconfigure xserver-xorg | 07:47 |
| l815 | lol iw as thinking arch install | 07:47 |
| l815 | nvm | 07:47 |
| CaptainMorgan | minor request.. but is it possible to have Accessories > Terminal always open with more than one tab ? I'd prefer three tabs upon startup | 07:47 |
| snarkster | wow I was so close | 07:47 |
| jeeves__ | stage73, I've seen a lot of people complaining in the forums, but no one has a fix | 07:47 |
| bazhang | Daniel_2_, install it from what? You have no install medium (usb, cd etc) | 07:47 |
| stage73 | jeeves: i think my fix is going to be to get another card. | 07:47 |
| stage73 | :) | 07:47 |
| l815 | CaptainMorgan, there is probably a switch you can add to the launcher shortuct | 07:48 |
| Daniel_2_ | Bazhang, it's running from Daemon Tools just fine. and at lightning speed. | 07:48 |
| Daniel_2_ | Bazhang, just finished installing | 07:48 |
| bazhang | Daniel_2_, let us know how the install goes then | 07:48 |
| CaptainMorgan | l815, I've already got a --geometry switch applied... so I'm familiar with what you mean... know of the switch in particular ? | 07:48 |
| jeeves__ | stage73, I can't. it's my laptop | 07:48 |
| Daniel_2_ | Install completed. now how do i run ubuntu? | 07:48 |
| stage73 | jeeves ouch | 07:48 |
| l815 | CaptainMorgan: not sure, but i'll help look | 07:48 |
| CaptainMorgan | cheers ! | 07:48 |
| selig5 | Uh, how do you set Firefox to start at bootup, automatically? | 07:49 |
| RAdams | selig5: gnome-session-properties | 07:49 |
| l815 | CaptainMorgan: http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=616501 | 07:49 |
| l815 | CaptainMorgan: the irony is, the guy wants 3 tabs also haha | 07:50 |

| CaptainMorgan | that's beautiful | 07:50 |
| CaptainMorgan | cheers | 07:50 |
| wbmj | CaptianMorgan: the gnome-terminal man page has the answer to your tab query | 07:50 |
| FAJALOU | Daniel_2_ you are going to have to navigate to it when you get to the grub menu | 07:51 |
| Daniel_2_ | The what menu? | 07:51 |
| stage73 | daniel when you reboot you'll have the grub menu | 07:51 |
| FAJALOU | you will see the grub menu and it should already be on Ubuntu. | 07:51 |
| CaptainMorgan | wbmj, solved beautifully.. not sure why I couldn't locate it in man.. bu thanks :) | 07:51 |
| bazhang | Daniel_2_, open the terminal and type lspci and paste that to paste.ubuntu.com (NOT here) | 07:51 |
| wbmj | np | 07:51 |
| Daniel_2_ | Oh. I've seen the grub menu before. Once had two versions of Windows on the comp at once. not sure how or why, but it was there. | 07:51 |
| snarkster | lspci is your friend in the hardware debugging department | 07:51 |
| Daniel_2_ | Bazhang, what Terminal? | 07:52 |
| jyoseph_ | when's the last time xkeycaps was updated w/ new layouts? | 07:52 |
| FAJALOU | every time i boot up i get an error: undefined video mode number: 363. it is not fatal, but it is annoying. i just recently added something to grub, but this happens after grub is done, what should i do to fix it? any ideas. | 07:52 |
| * jyoseph_ sticks apple aluminum keyboard in the dishwasher | 07:52 | |
| snarkster | shouldnt it be 762?? | 07:52 |
| wbmj | FAJALOU: what is your monitor's default resolution? | 07:53 |
| selig5 | RAdams, is that the same as Sessions Preferences? | 07:53 |
| les | FAJALOU: you're trying to set a framebuffer video mode that doesn't exist. grub doesn't use the frame buffer, but the ubuntu booting screen does hence the error | 07:53 |

| Daniel_2_ | Bazhang, do I do this when i'm RUNNING ubuntu? | 07:53 |
| bazhang | Daniel_2_, yes in the live cd | 07:54 |
| stage73 | daniel - yeah | 07:54 |
| les | FAJALOU: X isn't even running at this point, it shouldn't matter | 07:54 |

| FAJALOU | les talk in PM? | 07:54 |
| snarkster | Daniel_2_ Ubuntu isnt a program its like windows only better and totally different | 07:55 |
| bazhang | Daniel_2, your install was awfully fast; this was via wubi or daemon tools mounted iso | 07:55 |
| snarkster | daemon mounted iso i think | 07:55 |
| les | FAJALOU: sure | 07:55 |
| snarkster | it shouldnt have worked at all | 07:56 |
| bazhang | in three minutes? | 07:56 |

| Scorp_ | snarkster: I cant access the router page so cant even do any changes to the security settings.. | 07:59 |
| snarkster | Scorp_ Ive had routers go crazy before and nothing work.. | 07:59 |
| Scorp_ | snarkster: Plus, i believe its not a problem with the router, its been working with all other systems.. Its just ubuntu thats causing problems suddenly for no reason. | 07:59 |
| snarkster | then how about plugging in a wire and giving that a try | 07:59 |
| GirlRiver | pogay: hmmm .. no comment ;-) | 08:00 |
| snarkster | then its wpa-supplicant or wpa-psk thats your problem | 08:00 |
| Daniel_2_ | Hey people. I'm back. Just ran Ubuntu for the first time, and all I got was a Ms-Dos looking screen. where the hell is my desktop? | 08:00 |
| snarkster | lol | 08:00 |
| snarkster | Daniel_2_ people say that all the time. | 08:00 |
| ferronica | how to watch TV on ubuntu 8.04 : ( | 08:00 |
| snarkster | ferronica get xawtv | 08:01 |
| wbmj | Daniel_2: Do you have a login prompt? | 08:01 |
| kc8pxy | linux is a CLI OS. gui si a required frill for many :) | 08:01 |
| snarkster | I use gnome now was a kde fan, still install apps with apt-get tho.. | 08:01 |
| ferronica | snarkster: i am using SET TOP box to connect my composite audio and video to avermedia tvtuner | 08:01 |
| Daniel_2_ | No. Not that I know of. just a black screen with a command line on it. | 08:02 |
| ferronica | snarkster: will it work with it? | 08:02 |
| Scorp_ | snarkster: Thanks.. got the solution.. Reset the keyring by deleting the file, so no problems now.. | 08:02 |
| snarkster | ferronica ok still get xawtv | 08:02 |
| ferronica | snarkster: ok | 08:02 |
| Voxicles | Who was it taht told me to use envy? | 08:02 |
| ferronica | snarkster: let me download it first | 08:02 |
| snarkster | Scorp_ im glad, i know i didnt help any but glad you got it working | 08:02 |
| Voxicles | It poo'd on me | 08:02 |
| clement | Abjects | 08:02 |
| pogay | daniel_2: how did you install ubuntu? are you in a text console. try to login and "startx" | 08:02 |
| snarkster | doesnt X start automatically unless he did server install? | 08:03 |
| ferronica | snarkster: ok installed | 08:03 |
| Daniel_2_ | Pogay, i'm a computer idiot. explain just what the hell that means. how do i log in from a black screen with a blinking _ on it. | 08:03 |
| Kattman | Daniel_2 ! it takes 30 min to install ubuntu | 08:03 |
| ferronica | snarkster: now what? | 08:03 |
| pogay | Daniel: | 08:03 |
| Daniel_2_ | Kattman, it didn't take 30 minutes. | 08:03 |
| snarkster | ferronica start xawtv in the sound and video section of the app menu | 08:03 |
| maek | envy is the best thing since sliced bread Voxicles ... its even easier to install drivers with envy than windows | 08:03 |
| === Daniel_2_ is now known as Daniel_2 | ||
| Voxicles | Daniel, did you take your boot disk out before restarting? | 08:03 |
| wbmj | Daniel_2: ctl-alt-f2 should get you to a login prompt...if not then there is probably a video conflict | 08:03 |
| shah | bye | 08:04 |
| Voxicles | Envy hangs up, gets some random error, and now I'm stuck on 800x600 | 08:04 |
| pogay | Daniel_2_ just try to find out, how your screen looks like | 08:04 |
| Kattman | Yes it does dan | 08:04 |
| Daniel_2 | Voxicles, I don't have a boot disk. I used a shadow drive to run the .iso file. is that a problem? | 08:04 |
| maek | Kattman, it took me only 20 minutes .. I guess it depends on on CPU speed ?? | 08:04 |
| Voxicles | Thought you said you were a computer idiot? lol | 08:04 |
| ferronica | snarkster: after that ? | 08:05 |
| Daniel_2 | Voxicles, okay let's rephrase: GNOME and Linux idiot. Windows is baby-talk. | 08:05 |
| maek | maybe he meant he was a Linux novice | 08:05 |
| Daniel_2 | Thanks Maek | 08:05 |
| bazhang | Daniel_2, how long did the install process take? | 08:05 |
| snarkster | if xawtv detects your tv card then you should seea screen | 08:05 |
| Kattman | Daniel: I thing you just installed Grub | 08:05 |
| Kristopher_ | hi, i just booted ubuntu from a cd for the first time, and got this error message after the linux kernal loaded (i was running it 'live' without installing): | 08:05 |
| Daniel_2 | Bazhang, seriously, like 8 or 9 minutes. maybe it's cuz I wasn't reading from a CD, which would slow it down. | 08:05 |
| maek | Daniel_2, you would hardly be a computer novice .. otherwise you wouldn't be in this IRC channel | 08:05 |
| gandalfcome | Is there any way to do an ls with excluding a certain file type. e.g. ls with everything but files which have the extension mp3? thanks | 08:05 |
| Kristopher_ | http://freefile.kristopherw.us/uploads/kristopherwindsor/ubuntu-yeah-wee.jpg | 08:05 |
| Jostein | sup? | 08:05 |
| Voxicles | Daniel, did you install inside of windows? | 08:06 |
| Daniel_2 | Voxicles, nope. | 08:06 |
| ferronica | snarkster: only black screen i can see | 08:06 |
| Daniel_2 | Wait- yet | 08:06 |
| Daniel_2 | yep | 08:06 |
| pogay | Daniel_2 a full installatino of ubuntu-desktip takes quite a while apt-get install ubuntu-desktop | 08:06 |
| ferronica | snarkster: no video :( | 08:06 |
| Voxicles | go to your log in screen | 08:06 |
| Voxicles | or wait, there might be an icon | 08:06 |
| mpthompson | Daniel_2, it sounds like you aren't using a real CD for install, but instead mounting the ISO image within a Windows tool. Is this correct? | 08:07 |
| Daniel_2 | I run Ubuntu from the GRUB screen. and it just brings me to a screen that looks a lot like MsDOS after a loading process that looks like what windows does with the little bar | 08:07 |
| snarkster | right you got a black screen which means it should be working | 08:07 |
| Voxicles | Daniel, I've never tried to do the in windows install. | 08:07 |
| Daniel_2 | Mpthompson, that is correct. | 08:07 |
| snarkster | ferronica as I have xawtv but no device. I dont get anything | 08:07 |
| snarkster | not even a box.. nothing | 08:07 |
| Voxicles | Daniel: It's not asking you for a user name or anything? | 08:07 |
| ferronica | snarkster: means | 08:07 |
| ferronica | snarkster: just black screen | 08:07 |
| snarkster | i got you that far, now you need to figure out how to make the tv card talk to xawtv | 08:08 |
| snarkster | kristopher is this a new install? | 08:08 |
| Daniel_2 | No name asking involved. just MsDOS ness. there are some words at the top, and under that what looks like the C:/ you get in MSDOS | 08:08 |
| pogay | Daniel_2 you can install an iso over qemu | 08:08 |
| wbmj | Daniel_2: if there's no login prompt then you aren't in a shell | 08:08 |
| Daniel_2 | No idea what a shell is. | 08:08 |
| Kattman | Did It ask for how to partition the drive ? | 08:08 |
| Daniel_2 | Do i need to get one? | 08:08 |
| Daniel_2 | no asking of ANY questions once i started Ubuntu | 08:09 |
| snarkster | Daniel_2 maybe alittle research into linux to begin with would help you out abit | 08:09 |
| Kristopher_ | <snarkster>, it's a live/no-install option; this is the firsttime i ran the cd | 08:09 |
| Kristopher_ | (i just burned it tonight) | 08:09 |
| varnaview | is there any reason that an IDE disk, on a sata converter, attached to the sata channel of a Via VB7001, would not be recognized by Ubutnu? | 08:09 |
| mpthompson | When installing Ubuntu, it basically needs to boot the kernel from the CD image. However, the iso mounting software you are using will only function when Windows is running. Therefore the Ubuntu kernel won't boot for the install. It's a chicken and egg problem. | 08:09 |
| snarkster | Kristopher_: wow bad hard drive? | 08:09 |
| thunder85 | hi all | 08:09 |
| Jostein | tell me | 08:09 |
| Daniel_2 | Snarkster, every site i find just uses a bunch of lingo i don't understand. | 08:09 |
| snarkster | Kristopher_: is this drive compressed in some way? | 08:10 |
| Daniel_2 | mpthompson this seems like the problem. I guess i'll have to wait until I can get a hold of a DVD to put Ubuntu on. | 08:10 |
| Voxicles | zomg I'mma start breakin' things. Friggin' ati driver. | 08:10 |
| Stanton | snarkster it dint work..... | 08:10 |
| wbmj | Daniel_2:ubuntu fits on a cd | 08:10 |
| ferronica | snarkster: not working :( | 08:11 |
| Voxicles | you can also flash boot it | 08:11 |
| snarkster | stanton what did it respond with when you typed those commands? | 08:11 |
| Daniel_2 | I thought it was 700 mb? | 08:11 |
| pabix | hi thunder85 | 08:11 |
| Stanton | snarkster i'll pm em to ya | 08:11 |
| wbmj | Daniel_2:It'll fit | 08:11 |
| Kristopher_ | <snarkster>, it's not supposed to be using the HDD since it is supposed to run without installing.. o.o but anyway the harddrive works fine; i have win2k on it | 08:11 |
| snarkster | ferronica have to read up a bit on watching tv on linux.. try googleing it and see what you get? | 08:11 |
| mpthompson | You really need to burn the CD image to a real CD and boot from that. It should then install fine. The installation process really isn't very different from a Windows XP installation from that point. | 08:11 |
| Kristopher_ | and it is not compressed | 08:11 |
| Kattman | Daniel_2: there are good install video's on YouTube | 08:11 |
| Daniel_2 | I'll take you guys word for it and try and find a CDRW somewhere. | 08:11 |
| ferronica | snarkster: Ok :( | 08:11 |
| Voxicles | no rw's | 08:11 |
| snarkster | kristopher what make of puter do you have? | 08:11 |
| wbmj | good luck | 08:11 |
| Daniel_2 | Okay. no RWs? Why? | 08:12 |
| pogay | daniel_2: you could try to install like this: qemu -hda /Pfad/zu/hdd.img -cdrom ubuntu.iso -boot d | 08:12 |
| Kristopher_ | <snarkster>, it's a dell p3, 600mhz, 768mb ram.. what else do you need to know? ;) | 08:12 |
| Voxicles | just cd-r | 08:12 |
| Daniel_2 | Pogay, that is just gibberish to me. sorry, but it makes no sense what u are saying. | 08:12 |
| Daniel_2 | Voxicles, and why? | 08:12 |
| Kristopher_ | <Daniel_2>, i just got a 100pack of cd-rs because i needed one for ubuntu :+P it was only $8 :-] | 08:12 |
| pogay | daniel_2: I think should also work to install into a partition | 08:12 |
| snarkster | kristopher well nothing if you dont want help. ;) sounds like the live cd doesnt like your puter. | 08:13 |
| Daniel_2 | Pogay, please slow down. I know you are trying to help, but every other word you use makes ZERO sense to me. I just don't know what you are talking about. | 08:13 |
| Kristopher_ | <snarkster>, i guess i'll try some other things.. reboot/check disk/try another computer.. | 08:13 |
| wbmj | Daniel_2: You are more likely to have a bad burn with a rw | 08:13 |
| snarkster | Kristopher_: <shrug> sounds like a plan to me | 08:14 |
| Daniel_2 | wbmj, there is no such thing as a bad burn when i'm involved... just kidding. but it's worth a try. | 08:14 |
| Daniel_2 | Final question: do I need to somehow uninstall the Ubuntu i've installed sans-CD? | 08:14 |
| bazhang | its not installed. | 08:14 |
| Daniel_2 | So i just put everything on the CD and run ubuntu again? | 08:14 |
| bullgard4 | '~$ sudo xresprobe i915' only obtains: "id: [empty]; res: [empty]; freq: [empty]; disptype: lcd/lvds." Is such a taciturn output normal? | 08:15 |
| mpthompson | Daniel_2, Pogay is referring to "qemu" which is a virtual PC application similar to "vmware" if you are familiar with that. | 08:15 |
| gordonjcp | Daniel_2: no, if you've got a borked install you can just drive over the top of it | 08:15 |
| wbmj | Daniel_2:from what you've said you don't have ubuntu installed | 08:15 |
| Daniel_2 | No vmware involved here. | 08:15 |
| pogay | daniel_2 I thought you like to install directly from a iso | 08:15 |
| gordonjcp | Daniel_2: stomp stomp stomp, and the old install is gone ;-) | 08:15 |
| * jimcooncat thinks Daniel_2 might benefit from a wubi install | 08:15 | |
| Daniel_2 | Pogay, the direct from .iso install won't work apparently, since i can't run the iso alone without windows, which the mount program is dependent upon. | 08:16 |
| gordonjcp | Daniel_2: the first thing to do is make sure that you've downloaded the right ISO, that it's downloaded correctly, and that it's written to CD correctly | 08:16 |
| gordonjcp | Daniel_2: without that sorted out you're going to get nowhere | 08:17 |
| kc8pxy | bazhang: thanks.. found the how-to :) looks to be fun(I'm also looking to "repo mirror" for my other distro of choice on the same box :) ) | 08:17 |
| bazhang | kc8pxy,good luck on that nice project :) | 08:17 |
| Daniel_2 | Gordonjcp the problem i incurred was running the .iso through a shadow mount. simple enough, but i had to try it. | 08:17 |
| FreeTrav | Query: Yesterday, I took the offered updates to my Ubuntu install on my Toshiba Portégé 4010 laptop. One of these updates was a kernal update, to the -20 rev. After accepting and installing the update, and rebooting, the system never started. I could hit ESC and successfully boot off the -19 kernal. Is this a known problem? Is there anything I should be looking for, specifically, that might be causing this? | 08:17 |
| isakey | anyone use nvidia driver 173.14.09 ? what is best way to enable it? | 08:18 |
| bazhang | FreeTrav, from proposed repo? | 08:18 |
| Daniel_2 | I'll just have to hunt for a CD now to install ubuntu... this sucks | 08:18 |
| isakey | 3rd party repo? | 08:18 |
| FreeTrav | baz: Honestly, I couldn't tell you at the moment; the box in question is packed up. | 08:18 |
| gordonjcp | Daniel_2: "shadow mount"? | 08:19 |
| FreeTrav | But this is the first time anything like this has happened. | 08:19 |
| holyguyver | How do I make my workstations each have a different background wallpaper? | 08:19 |
| bazhang | FreeTrav, that may be in proposed; 19 is standard hardy | 08:19 |
| eMaX | hi all | 08:19 |
| Daniel_2 | gordonjcp: i tricked my computer into thinking it had more CD drives than it does and plugged the file into it. therefore making my computer run the .iso file from my harddrive as if it were on a CD. | 08:19 |
| mpthompson | Daniel_2: Well, you need to be able to boot from installation media to install an OS. Windows, Mac and basically everything else is the same. | 08:19 |
| Flannel | FreeTrav: It appears (since -20 isn't in updates) that you have enabled proposed. Which isn't stable (which you found out) | 08:19 |
| eMaX | anyone having issues with the recent firefox update (came in this morning) - when scrolling, lines overlap | 08:20 |
| === arief_hy is now known as co^pngen_Zu2 | ||
| Daniel_2 | eMaX, could that just be a problem with processing the frames? | 08:20 |
| FreeTrav | bazhang, Flannel: I'll check that later, when I have the box set up. In the mean time, how can I revert so that the -19 is the default boot? | 08:20 |
| gordonjcp | Daniel_2: hm, I can't see that working very well | 08:20 |
| Denyerec | Hey chaps, running server 8.04, installed php5-imagick but not seeing anything in my phpinfo() after I restart apache... | 08:20 |
| obf213 | hey how do you get firefox to open pdfs with adobe? also, ubuntu is not giving me adobe as one of the default choices for pdfs, i have to go to open with, then set the custom command to /usr/bin/acroread, which is really annoying... | 08:20 |
| Denyerec | Am I missing something? | 08:21 |
| gordonjcp | Daniel_2: presumably when you try to boot from the CD, it clobbers the mount? | 08:21 |
| Flannel | FreeTrav: Once you remove -proposed, remove linux-generic, and the -20 kernel through your package manager. then reinstall generic (and it'll install the -updates one again) | 08:21 |
| mpthompson | eMaX, the Firefox update has been working fine for me. Unfortunately, it is still broken with Facebook. | 08:21 |
| Flannel | FreeTrav: there are a few metapackages that are depends of linux-generic (the kernel itself is a few steps deep) you'll want to remove those as well temporarily | 08:21 |
| Daniel_2 | gordonjcp, I don't have a CD. if ur asking about my main drive, no. if i play a music CD in it, i can still install a game using the fake drive(s) (it lets me use 4) | 08:21 |
| Kristopher_ | <Denyerec>, wrong channel? :P | 08:21 |
| holyguyver | firefox works fine with facebook for me | 08:21 |
| FreeTrav | Flannel: Thanks! | 08:22 |
| root | hello | 08:22 |
| Flannel | FreeTrav: Actually, removing linux-image-[blah-20]-generic should force all those to be removed | 08:22 |
| gordonjcp | Daniel_2: yes, but when you try to start Ubuntu, it will need to actually boot from a CD | 08:22 |
| * FreeTrav makes a note. | 08:22 | |
| Daniel_2 | gordonjcp, i know that now, but i'll have to wait until tomorrow night. going into town tomorrow and will pick up a CD | 08:22 |
| gordonjcp | Daniel_2: I think you can probably see where having it mounted as an image would cause problems here | 08:22 |
| gordonjcp | Daniel_2: you might be able to do it off a USB stick | 08:22 |
| Denyerec | Kristopher_ - Ubuntu 8.04 ? WOuld have thought this the right channel to find savvy ubuntu users? | 08:22 |
| FreeTrav | So, disable proposed, remove via synaptics the linux-image-yadda-20-generic | 08:23 |
| Flannel | FreeTrav: so, that's easiest way, I guess. Remove the -20, tehn reinstall linux-generic after disabling proposed. Come back here if you get into a hiccup (and worst case, you change grub to boot to 19 by default for now, and wait for -20 to come to updates) | 08:23 |
| Daniel_2 | gordonjcp, i thought about that, but i've lost mine. only problem is that Ubuntu wouldn't necessarily look there for the file. | 08:23 |
| gordonjcp | Daniel_2: uhm, there's a whole big howto on booting from USB drives | 08:23 |
| Kristopher_ | seemed like a php/apache issue.. i dunno ;) | 08:23 |
| FreeTrav | Flannel: Thanks. | 08:23 |

| ibrahim | Hello, I am using bluetooth mouse. there is one free button on that. I would like to add a function minimize on active window. | 08:27 |
| pogay | Daniel_2: one thought was to use qemu, which exists also for win. so you can boot a CD or iso in the QEMU-VM. i read that a installation works aswell | 08:27 |
| Denyerec | Perhaps it's working, and phpinfo simply doesn't show it. | 08:27 |

| mpthompson | Daniel_2, if you are desperate to try out Ubuntu, but don't have boot media (CD or USB stick) you could get the free VMWare Player and try out the Ubuntu 8.04 VMWare image. | 08:28 |
| ekow | maybe i'll go post on the ubuntu forums | 08:28 |
| mpthompson | The free Ubuntu 8.04 VMWare image can be found here: http://www.vmware.com/appliances/directory/1224 | 08:28 |
| bullgard4 | How can I establish if my Hardy computer uses 'vesa' as its video driver? | 08:29 |
| negge | Denyerec: make a script that calls one of imagick's functions and see what it says | 08:29 |
| Denyerec | Already on it :D | 08:29 |
| mpthompson | This will run VMWare under Windows for you and give you a flavor for Ubuntu, but you'll really want to do a proper installation to get a real feel for Ubuntu. | 08:29 |

| negge | pikeshouse88: I know the feeling, you simply can't reconfigure xorg anymore. If it fails, you fail | 08:33 |
| Denyerec | negge the file has read access to all | 08:33 |
| negge | okay | 08:33 |
| pikeshouse88 | why not? this is an old macintosh. its got to be simple | 08:33 |
| pikeshouse88 | what is the reason? | 08:33 |
| Blaqlight | what better salesman for ubuntu that its resident bot. | 08:33 |

| Blaqlight | lol | 08:34 |
| Denyerec | Thanks chaps. | 08:34 |
| pikeshouse88 | negge: ? | 08:35 |
| Blaqlight | Denyerec: hack into the trains' computers. then you'll have internet access. I didn't say that. | 08:35 |
| negge | pikeshouse88: I don't know, the new Xorg 7.3 is supposed to be more automatic than the previous ones that's why it's a bit of a hustle to configure it if it can't do it on its own | 08:35 |
| Denyerec | hehe | 08:35 |
| Relaed | hi guys | 08:35 |
| pikeshouse88 | so what do i do now? | 08:35 |

| FAJALOU | ya, the usplash theme i am using is not the original one, so it is meant for widescreen (yay for gnome-look.org | 08:46 |
| FAJALOU | ) | 08:46 |
| pikeshouse88 | this is a xorg problem not exclusive to ubuntu. ubuntu system requirements do not apply, because the error occurs with kubuntu and xubuntu as well | 08:46 |
| bullgard4 | How can I establish if my Hardy computer uses 'vesa' as its video driver? | 08:47 |

| FAJALOU | pogay yes | 08:47 |
| Flannel | pogay: Go to login screen setup and you can choose an account to automatically log in | 08:47 |
| Ahadiel | bullgard4, perhaps cat /etc/X11/xorg.conf | grep vesa? Or try running an app that requires 3d acceleration. | 08:47 |
| FAJALOU | flannel beats me to the punch | 08:47 |
| pogay | Thanks Flannel, FAJALOU | 08:47 |
| bazhang | pikeshouse88, but you are in #ubuntu | 08:48 |

| Flannel | FAJALOU: You should do it to make sure and verify | 09:31 |
| FAJALOU | k flannel done. | 09:32 |
| FAJALOU | thank you. | 09:32 |
| bazhang | schone, the only worry would be wireless as they dont specify what chipset (just saying dell brand name), the rest is intel which is very well supported in Linux | 09:32 |
| FAJALOU | hopefully that black metal works for widescreen, if it doesn't back to one ofthe others ... | 09:32 |
| schone | bazbang: broadcom - i did find this thread though : http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=857532&page=1 | 09:32 |

| chriswr | can anyone tell me what the channel for damn small linux is? | 09:33 |
| bazhang | schone, tab complete names, such as baz <tab> will give my correct name; broadcom does work though I dont have one (intel here) | 09:33 |

| FAJALOU | Flannel: i edited inside the automagic: i added pw's to things and locked down other options. I think i changed defoptions too | 09:35 |

| FAJALOU | Flannel: does it matter? | 09:36 |

| Flannel | FAJALOU: Everything inside automagic gets regenerated based on the kernels you have and the options you set (at the top, in all the comments) | 09:36 |
| mkquist | schone: that's actually quite easy. just delete windows if you wish and edit your menu.list | 09:36 |

| Flannel | FAJALOU: What are you trying to accomplish? | 09:38 |

| starter | unop, the files are in /home/starter/video (transferred from /home/starter/public) | 09:39 |

| bobtse | how to mount a mdf file? when i mount it ,it has error. | 10:18 |
| linuxfce | sometimes its impossible for me to get to runlevel 3 in ubuntu, because /etc/init.d/gdm stops gdm fine, but i never get the chance to type anything, because "running local boot script rc.local" never finishes | 10:19 |
| wols | linux can only mount .ISO not any proprietary stuff like mdf | 10:19 |
| mrynit | Flannel, im using dell inspiron 1420 and it is having fan prob lems i was wondering if it was a kernel issue and i could upgrade to a newer kernel to fix the problem | 10:19 |
| newb | ikonia: any idea why my terminal keeps freezing on hardy? i can't open a new terminal, it just freezes i don't even have a more than one terminal window open | 10:20 |
| wols | linuxfce: your rc.local is your own domain. ubuntu does not fill it with anything. so whatever you put there is the culprit | 10:20 |

| sugi | How do I mount an ext3 partition in Ubuntu? | 11:17 |
| les | sugi: mount -t ext3 /path/to/device /path/to/mountpoint | 11:18 |
| IcyPolecat | hi there. Am having problems with compiz under a dual monitor setup. Simply put, if I'm only using one screen it works, plug in the second and I get The Composite Extension is not available when I try to enable | 11:19 |
| pvh_sa|wrk | heya, i've got a 6.10 server here and want to go to 8.04 - can i dist-upgrade in one go, or should i dist-upgrade to something else first? | 11:20 |
| Vezir | hey i just accidentally sigkilled pulseaudio. how do i get it back? | 11:20 |
| pvh_sa|wrk | Vezir, /etc/init.d/pulseaudio restart | 11:21 |
| sugi | les, like "mount -t ext3 /dev/sdb/ /mnt/sdb/" BUT (do I have to to mkdir the /mnt/sdb/ | 11:21 |
| Vezir | didnt work | 11:21 |
| Er0x | sugi: yes | 11:22 |
| === icqnumber_ is now known as icqnumber | ||
| Er0x | sugi: and u dont need -t ext3 | 11:22 |
| ActionParsnip | its good for completeness | 11:22 |
| ActionParsnip | specially in scripts so you can read whats going on better | 11:23 |
| IcyPolecat | Anyone able to assist with the Composite Extension problem above? | 11:23 |
| sugi | erox, but I want a more permanent mounting job, somethign like mount point with the partitioner? | 11:23 |
| Vezir | argh pulseaudio wont restart | 11:23 |
| les | sugi: you need to add an entry into your /etc/fstab file and it will automount | 11:24 |
| Er0x | sugi: if u mean that u want mount for all time, add mount to fstab | 11:24 |
| les | sugi: i'm sure ubuntu has a graphical utility to do this that i don't know about heh | 11:24 |
| DistroJockey | Vezir, if you killed it, try start instead of restart. You may need to sudo | 11:25 |
| sugi | er0x, les, is there a tutorial or link for something like that. I need some help with terminal work | 11:25 |
| Er0x | sugi: write in terminal sudo kwrite /etc/fstab | 11:25 |
| sugi | kwrite wouldn't be kde would it? | 11:25 |
| ActionParsnip | Er0x: kdesu kwrite /etc/fstab | 11:25 |
| sugi | er0x, i am under gnome | 11:26 |
| ActionParsnip | Er0x: do not sudo for gui apps | 11:26 |
| les | gksu gedit /etc/fstab | 11:26 |
| DistroJockey | sugi, gedit instead of kwrite | 11:26 |
| ActionParsnip | sugi: gksu gedit /etc/fstab | 11:26 |
| Er0x | ActionParsnip: i more like sudo | 11:26 |
| Er0x | ActionParsnip: and i rerly use kwrite nano best :P | 11:26 |
| ActionParsnip | Er0x: its not a case of what you like, its a case of what will not break your system | 11:26 |
| sugi | DistroJockey: ActionParsnip: what's the line I need to add for a /dev/sdb/ ?? | 11:27 |
| bullgard4 | What is a suitable location to store source code texts, e. g. 'ddcprobe.c'? | 11:27 |
| ActionParsnip | sugi: if you read the other lines its fairly simple | 11:27 |
| Flannel | Er0x: gksu (or kdesu) are what you use with graphical programs (sudo can break things) | 11:27 |
| Er0x | Flannel: breaking isnt problem :p | 11:28 |
| sugi | ActionParsnip: kay kay | 11:28 |
| ActionParsnip | sugi: which partition number | 11:28 |
| ActionParsnip | Er0x: it is for new users, so please advise correctly | 11:28 |
| sugi | ActionParsnip: fdisk -l would that tell me? | 11:28 |

| ericpersson1 | just plugged in a 3com 589 pcmciacard in a laptop, and it shows up with ifconfig, but dhclient doesnt give it an ip address(i confirmed the cable/card works in another machine). What could be the problem? A static assignment doesnt let me ping anyone else on the network.. | 11:29 |
| Er0x | sugi: btw hald can automount partitions too | 11:29 |
| ActionParsnip | ericpersson1: does it get a suitable ip for your network? | 11:29 |
| propagandhi | is anybody here running intrepid in vmware? | 11:30 |
| ericpersson1 | ActionParsnip: No, dhclient doesnt give it an ipaddress.. | 11:30 |
| Flannel | propagandhi: #ubuntu+1 for Intrepid support, thanks | 11:30 |
| sugi | er0x, is hald a GUI? | 11:30 |
| ericpersson1 | ActionParsnip: No leases offered.. | 11:30 |
| ActionParsnip | ericpersson1: is it wired or wireless? | 11:30 |
| ericpersson1 | ActionParsnip: its wired.. | 11:30 |
| ActionParsnip | ericpersson1: tried a different cable? | 11:31 |
| Er0x | sugi: its deamon that should be enabled by default it handes cd/usb/hdd mounts on gnome/kde | 11:31 |
| ActionParsnip | ericpersson1: you got any lights flashing? | 11:31 |
| ericpersson1 | ActionParsnip: Its one of those with a "builtin" cable, special connector in one end, but I verified that it works in a different laptop(xp on it).. | 11:31 |
| ericpersson1 | ActionParsnip: Lights turn on both on the pcmciacard and on the switch.. | 11:31 |
| sugi | er0x, i want some more long term | 11:32 |
| ActionParsnip | ericpersson1: try a different port on the switch | 11:32 |
| sugi | er0x, I guess like my fstab settings | 11:32 |
| ActionParsnip | sugi: what partition number is it | 11:32 |
| ActionParsnip | sdb is a disk, not a partition. If it only has 1 partition it'll be sdb1 | 11:32 |
| ericpersson1 | ActionParsnip: used the same one when it worked on the other machine, but tries anyway.. | 11:32 |
| rskumar | is there any way to disable USB automounting in Ubuntu,.. | 11:33 |
| Er0x | sugi: addd this line to fstab and change sdb3 to your partitition "/dev/sdb3 / ext3 noatime 0 1" | 11:33 |
| rskumar | I dont want it get automount when someone inserts the stick | 11:33 |
| Er0x | rskumar: kill hald | 11:33 |
| sugi | ActionParsnip: /dev/sda2 * 63 1278 9767520 83 Linux | 11:33 |
| sugi | ActionParsnip: that? | 11:33 |
| temoto-work | LimCore, i didn't find a way to remap custom keyboard buttons to other keys in System-Prefs-Keyboard. | 11:33 |

| Vezir | argh why wont audacious wirk now? | 11:34 |
| w0jrl | hello all | 11:34 |
| Er0x | rskumar: change hlad permisions | 11:34 |
| Er0x | rskumar: hald* | 11:34 |
| ericpersson1 | ActionParsnip: No change with different port. The correct kernel module is loaded as well, 3c589_cs, loads when i plug in the card.. | 11:34 |
| ActionParsnip | sugi: exactly that | 11:34 |
| ActionParsnip | sugi: sugi: /dev/sda2 <whatever mountpoint> ext3 defaults 0 0 | 11:35 |
| Er0x | sugi: this isnt your ubuntu root partitition? | 11:35 |
| sugi | ActionParsnip: "/dev/sdb1 * 1 14593 117218241 83 Linux" sorry, that's the right partition | 11:35 |
| ActionParsnip | sugi: you get the idea | 11:35 |
| sugi | Er0x: "/dev/sdb1 * 1 14593 117218241 83 Linux" yea, this is the correct partition | 11:35 |
| ActionParsnip | ericpersson1: and with static ip? | 11:35 |
| ActionParsnip | ericpersson1: does a reboot help any? | 11:36 |
| Er0x | sugi: add "/dev/sdb1 /mount_name ext3 noatime 0 1" and its done | 11:36 |
| ericpersson1 | ActionParsnip: static ip, works to assign it, but I cant ping anyone on the same subnet.. | 11:36 |
| ericpersson1 | ActionParsnip: rebooting now.. | 11:36 |
| msnbot | I have only 2 workspace. I want to increase it to 4. If I increase the number of workspce switcher in preference, It doesnt work. how to increase it? | 11:36 |
| Er0x | sugi: change mount_name to folder where you want to mount that partitition | 11:36 |
| Vezir | okay nevermind, those FILES won't work. arrgh. | 11:37 |
| Er0x | sugi: ahh and first dont ferget to create it | 11:37 |

| sugi | er0x, what about UUID? or does ubuntu create that info? | 11:39 |
| ActionParsnip | hmm | 11:39 |
| ActionParsnip | sugi: no need to worry about it | 11:39 |
| ActionParsnip | ericpersson1: id check the card installation | 11:40 |
| ericpersson1 | ActionParsnip: the card installation? | 11:40 |
| sugi | ActionParsnip: do i restart (as in log off or does it need to be a restart)? | 11:40 |
| sugi | ActionParsnip: after fstab? | 11:41 |

| Scorp_ | I Need some urgent Help.. i deleted network-manager and net-tools using sudo apt-get remove --purge command. Due to this my network is totally gone and I have no clue how to set it back. What do i do ?? | 11:44 |
| stemount^ | Scorp_: sudo apt-get install network-manager network-manager-gnome | 11:44 |
| stemount^ | ? | 11:44 |
| sugi | ActionParsnip: it worked :) | 11:44 |
| ActionParsnip | sugi: mint | 11:44 |
| Scorp_ | stemount^: that needs the internet to download the package, which i dont have... | 11:44 |
| soundray | Scorp_: you need to reinstall net-tools. network-manager is not essential | 11:44 |
| foxiness | Scorp_: if have cd ro dvd use it | 11:44 |
| stemount^ | Scorp_: you can do | 11:45 |
| ActionParsnip | Scorp_: hmm, add the ubuntu cd as a repo and reinstall it from there | 11:45 |
| stemount^ | apt-cdrom install network-manager network-manager-gnome | 11:45 |
| sugi | but one little problem, I can't write or make new documents in it without sudo it in the terminal | 11:45 |
| stemount^ | ^ correct me if I'm wrong people | 11:45 |
| soundray | Scorp_: see if net-tools is still in your cache /var/cache/apt/archives/ | 11:45 |
| Scorp_ | stemount^: I tried it, it says http something failed.. | 11:45 |
| ActionParsnip | sugi: you need to modify fstab | 11:45 |
| soundray | Scorp_: if it is, you can install it with 'sudo dpkg -i net-tools...deb' | 11:45 |
| sugi | ActionParsnip: what should I change? | 11:46 |
| Scorp_ | soundray: Its not there as of now.. :( | 11:46 |
| ActionParsnip | sugi: http://ubuntuforums.org/archive/index.php/t-418877.html | 11:46 |
| soundray | Scorp_: is there anything at all in /var/cache/apt/archives/ ? | 11:46 |
| Scorp_ | ActionParsnip: I am using the Live CD to access the internet as of now... Can i use chroot and then install it maybe from here only ??? | 11:46 |
| ActionParsnip | i guess | 11:47 |
| Scorp_ | soundray: Yes there are many other files, but not net-tools.. | 11:47 |
| Scorp_ | ActionParsnip: How would that procedure be.. Please help.. | 11:47 |
| soundray | Scorp_: you can chroot to your installation from the live CD. Do you know how to mount your root filesystem? | 11:47 |
| Scorp_ | soundray: Yes, i mounted it to /media/disk | 11:48 |
| soundray | Scorp_: okay. Now do 'sudo chroot /media/disk bash' and see if you get a # prompt | 11:48 |
| Scorp_ | yes | 11:48 |
| Scorp_ | soundray: I got that.. | 11:49 |
| soundray | Scorp_: now run 'sudo apt-get install net-tools network-manager' -- add all the packages you removed by mistake to the line. | 11:49 |
| sugi | ActionParsnip: so this? "/dev/sdb1/mnt/sdb ext3 noatime auto 01" do that do it? | 11:49 |
| soundray | Scorp_: sorry, no sudo in this case | 11:49 |
| bullgard4 | What is a suitable location to store source code texts, e. g. 'ddcprobe.c'? | 11:49 |
| ActionParsnip | sugi: try it :D | 11:50 |

| Scorp_ | This may mean that the package is missing, has been obsoleted, or | 11:50 |
| Scorp_ | is only available from another source | 11:50 |
| soundray | Scorp_: do a 'apt-get update' first | 11:50 |
| Scorp_ | soundray: Same problem still. | 11:50 |
| soundray | bullgard4: $HOME/src -- or if you want it accessible system wide, /usr/local/src | 11:50 |

| ActionParsnip | wols: id say the same for compiz :D | 12:12 |
| popey | wols: i am just saying that if you get a random deb from somewhere that you _need_ to install for some reason, gdebi is better at that than dpkg | 12:12 |
| ActionParsnip | popey: how is it better? | 12:12 |
| arvind_khadri | ubunt3, wait | 12:12 |
| popey | ActionParsnip: it resolves and gets dependancies | 12:12 |
| wols | popey: only in a windows mindset | 12:12 |
| app | popey: is there a program i could actually record my gameplay with, not only my desktop? | 12:12 |
| popey | wols: why windows? | 12:13 |
| ActionParsnip | popey: apt-get -f install does that too. plus it takes zero extra space | 12:13 |
| guido | Er0x: is x/xorg the same as X11? | 12:13 |
| popey | ActionParsnip: gdebi is already there :) | 12:13 |
| wols | windows has the monolithic big app do all in one mentality | 12:13 |
| Er0x | guido: try it | 12:13 |
| ActionParsnip | popey: is it part of a standard instal? | 12:13 |

| ActionParsnip | myk_robinson: i used the repo | 12:50 |
| ActionParsnip | myk_robinson: sudo apt-get install firefox-3.0 | 12:51 |

| whileimhere | Morning! Okay when I try any flavor of the 7.10 with my external USB CDROM I have no issues. I cannot seem to get any of the 8.04 cds to even get to desktop with the external cd drive. It just hangs on boot. Now I know these cds are good because they all work on the systems I have with internal CDRs. Also when I upgrade from 7.10 to 8.04 via the upgrade feature my CDROM stops auto-mounting and I have never managed to get i | 14:31 |
| maek | dianapo, you kill the AWM through the system monitor then start it up again .. it sounds like it has crashed and locked up | 14:31 |

| arvind_khadri | whileimhere, USB devices by default automount | 14:40 |

| arthur | Could not connect to Yahoo Voicechat-server is the output | 14:40 |
| ubinadamu | odd-rationale: yeah | 14:40 |
| ActionParsnip | does it give you the voice servers address it is trying to connect to? | 14:40 |
| arthur | no | 14:40 |
| Odd-rationale | ubinadamu: now do "sudo apt-get update && sudo apt-get upgrade" | 14:41 |
| ActionParsnip | can you modify the voice servers address? | 14:41 |
| ubinadamu | odd-rationale: ok | 14:41 |
| arthur | not sure i can try to change servers at login... | 14:41 |
| ActionParsnip | you may need to change it. maybe yahoo changed their voice server address and you need to update your client | 14:41 |
| arthur | dont think there is a way to change just the voice server | 14:41 |
| ActionParsnip | arthur: it must be stored somewhere | 14:42 |
| arthur | ok let me go find out.. | 14:42 |

| arthur | somewhere..... like in a con fig file or on the web? | 14:42 |
| Pedrolito | ActionParsnip, well, say I want to use mplayer to play a file, I type 'mplayer' and then the beginning of the file name followed by TAB so that it completes the name. However, I discovered that ubuntu uses a file called '/etc/bash_completion' that restricts the file names that get completed according to their extension. For instance I can use the auto completion if my file name is for instance 'file.mpg', but not if it's just | 14:43 |
| Pedrolito | 'file' | 14:43 |
| ActionParsnip | Bosco: which atheros chip are you using? | 14:43 |
| Odd-rationale | ubinadamu: then install vlc if you haven't already "sudo apt-get install vlc" | 14:43 |
| Odd-rationale | ubinadamu: then try your dvd... | 14:43 |
| ubinadamu | odd-rationale: i have vlc | 14:43 |

| ActionParsnip | Pedrolito: is the fileexecutable? | 14:44 |
| ActionParsnip | Pedrolito: so you can type mplay<tab> ./somef<tab> | 14:45 |
| ActionParsnip | and it'll complete them for you where you pressed tab | 14:45 |
| ActionParsnip | don't type tab | 14:45 |

| ubinadamu | odd-rationale: yeah | 14:46 |
| Pedrolito | ActionParsnip, but as I said, this doesn't work if the file doesn't have one of the extensions specified for mplayer in '/etc/bash_completion' | 14:46 |

| === chaky_ is now known as chaky | ||

| ActionParsnip | Bosco: how about iwlist scan | 14:48 |

| fiiisk | is the authentication plain or secured? | 14:49 |
| fiiisk | in outlook its Basic | 14:49 |
| Bosco | ActionParsnip, i have already tried iwconfig ifconfig iwlist any of that even just a basic sudo dhclient but all it picks up is ethernet | 14:49 |
| ice_cream | as i recall, version 2 did | 14:50 |
| Pedrolito | ActionParsnip, no, it apparently doesn't work like that on ubuntu (I'm a recent convert from fedora). That's an interesting feature I think, but I'm looking for a way to temporarily bypass it | 14:51 |
| ActionParsnip | Bosco: people are saying ndiswrapper | 14:51 |
| Bosco | ActionParsnip, tried that as well lol | 14:51 |

| ActionParsnip | ? | 14:53 |
| Pedrolito | ActionParsnip, my file doesn't have one | 14:53 |
| fiiisk | damn why isnt there so many others having this issue.. no posts on the forums either | 14:54 |
| ActionParsnip | then how will mplayer know how to handle it? | 14:54 |

| arvind_khadri | !apache | the_darkside_986 | 15:02 |
| ubottu | the_darkside_986: LAMP is an acronym for Linux-Apache-MySQL-PHP. However, the term is often used for setups using alternative but different software, such as Perl or Python instead of PHP, and Postgres instead of MySQL. For help with setting up LAMP on Ubuntu, see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/ApacheMySQLPHP - See also the Server CD installation process (different in Edgy+) | 15:02 |
| `mac` | !firewall | 15:02 |
| ubottu | Ubuntu, like any other linux distribution, has firewall capabilities built-in. The firewall is managed using the 'iptables' command (see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/IptablesHowTo), or GUI applications such as Firestarter (Gnome) or Guarddog (KDE). | 15:02 |
| Scorp_ | arvind_khadri: yeah... it is.. But i think we need to do some suggestions... there should be an easier way for users to install the hardware.. Something like the device manager.. Atleast the basics should be easy to install... | 15:02 |

| Milyardo | what he said | 15:06 |

| gaelfx | ok,s o | 15:06 |
| gaelfx | sorry | 15:06 |
| Lewi1 | will it copy the folder, or the contance of the folder | 15:06 |
| Lewi1 | i cant spell | 15:06 |
| Lewi1 | soz | 15:06 |
| Milyardo | Actualy | 15:06 |
| arvind_khadri | Lewi1, what do you want it to do ? | 15:06 |
| Milyardo | If it is a folder you need to copy | 15:06 |
| Milyardo | you need to add the -r option to the cp command | 15:07 |
| Lewi1 | no the contance | 15:07 |
| Milyardo | so it would look like this | 15:07 |
| === _lifi is now known as lifi | ||
| Milyardo | sudo cp -r <source> <destination> | 15:07 |
| gaelfx | ok, so I've been having the problem with freezing (especially, but not limited to times during video playback) so I finally found the option for VLC to log to syslog, and found out that PST was reading out of range every time it happened. does anyone have any idea what the problem could be? | 15:07 |
| Peace_Keeper | Lewi1: Use a wildcard(*) inside the folder /path/to/folder/* | 15:07 |

| DistroJockey | fiiisk, good luck resolving your issue. Thanks for the link. I'm out for now. | 15:11 |
| Gillpy | Does the ubuntu LiveCD contain support for all languages? | 15:11 |
| gaelfx | db92 probably would have to edit xorg.conf, but I would advise against that | 15:11 |
| gaelfx | db92: does it make your screen look bad?? | 15:11 |

| fde | jrolson: gnome-keyring-manager ... it is a secure way to store the password... you'd rather it just saved in raw text on the drive? | 15:40 |
| astra-xwork | jrolson, like your firefox passwords, and your LDAP passwords etc. | 15:40 |
| jrolson | so how do i find out what the keychain password is | 15:40 |
| emorris | jrolson: a keyring is where passwords are stored on Ubuntu, just make up a password, but remember it for future use | 15:40 |
| astra-xwork | jrolson, it is either your login password or your set it yourself | 15:40 |
| jrolson | it's not the same as the password i entered when i set up ubuntu | 15:40 |
| fde | jrolson: No, doesn't matter though... it's probably better if it's not the same. | 15:41 |

| BUSH_FROM_HEAVEN | *want | 15:41 |
| astra-xwork | !wine | BUSH_FROM_HEAVEN | 15:41 |
| ubottu | BUSH_FROM_HEAVEN: 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. | 15:41 |
| fde | BUSH_FROM_HEAVEN: You can use WinAMP in Wine. | 15:41 |
| minimec | BUSH_FROM_HEAVEN: audacious or xmms is what you want. These two are clones of the basic winamp player. | 15:42 |
| BUSH_FROM_HEAVEN | kthxbie | 15:42 |
| jrolson | it won't let me check my email without the keyring password tho | 15:42 |
| emorris | BUSH_FROM_HEAVEN: winamp is a windows program, but if you really want it you can install it in wine | 15:42 |
| Nece228 | why there isnt intrepid screenshots in codingstudio | 15:42 |
| fde | jrolson: Yes, because that is how you stored the password... it's a good thing. | 15:42 |

| jrolson | so how do i get evo to work then? | 15:43 |
| fde | BUSH_FROM_HEAVEN: Then grab them from shoutcast.com ... they work in every player. | 15:43 |
| amenado | cemc no sweat..good luck my friend | 15:43 |
| fde | jrolson: enter the keyring password. | 15:43 |
| jrolson | to me it seems that evo has more options than thunderbird | 15:43 |
| minimec | BUSH_FROM_HEAVEN: most linux players have a plug-in for shoutcast. just install or activate that one. | 15:43 |
| Nece228 | i think everyone have holiday | 15:43 |
| emorris | jrolson: you need to enter the password you set for the keychain | 15:43 |
| jrolson | but i don't know what the keyring password is | 15:43 |
| rockenrola | I have a system with several desktop-managers, ( gnome, xfce, fluxbox). How do I choose which one I want for each user. Note: its a remote machine | 15:43 |

| astra-xwork | rockenrola, ~/.xession | 15:44 |

| fde | jrolson: The first time you were presented with the keyring manager, it would have had you set up a password for it... you forgot this password? | 15:44 |

| Juhaz | opticxl, if you have two devices both called sdb when they're plugged in at the same time, something's badly wrong, but assuming you're talking about using them at different times, the name doesn't matter. | 15:45 |
| rockenrola | astra-xwork: I don't have that file. how to create one? | 15:45 |
| opticxl | Juhaz: right now only my NAS is connected everything else is off | 15:45 |
| opticxl | astra-xwork: okay buddy | 15:45 |
| astra-xwork | rockenrola, are you not in X right now? | 15:46 |
| opticxl | amenado: then why does linux do it? how do you change your name on the unit? because right now ONLY nas is online everything else = off | 15:46 |
| rockenrola | astra-xwork: right now, just ssh | 15:46 |
| jrolson | i just figured it out | 15:46 |

| Nece228 | Thank you :) | 15:47 |
| amenado | opticxl-> look into udev on how it names hot plug in play devices | 15:47 |
| opticxl | amenado "udev command not found" | 15:49 |
| Juhaz | please don't start twiddling around in udev without understanding what you're doing based on some half-assed irc advice, you WILL break your system | 15:50 |
| Juhaz | and it doesn't have anything to do with your problem | 15:50 |
| bazhang | Juhaz, keep it family friendly please | 15:50 |
| QuickGold | I'm trying to copy a folder to overwrite a folder somewhere else but when I try and do it, I get "mv: cannot overwrite directory". How can I force ubuntu to overwrite the directory and it's contents? | 15:50 |
| minimec | opticxl: paste the whole dmesg, not only the errors. | 15:50 |
| emorris | QuickGold: use -f | 15:51 |
| QuickGold | emorris: k, let me try | 15:51 |
| QuickGold | emorris: same error | 15:51 |
| astra-xwork | QuickGold, man cp; but -f is your option | 15:51 |
| amenado | opticxl http://www.reactivated.net/writing_udev_rules.html for tutorials | 15:51 |
| opticxl | minimec: whats the command to save my entire dmesg in a txt file? you know in console? | 15:51 |
| Juhaz | dmesg > filename | 15:51 |
| emorris | QuickGold: do you have permission to the parent dir? | 15:51 |
| QuickGold | astra-xwork: I tried: sudo mv -f * /var/www/ and it did not work. Gave me same error | 15:51 |
| QuickGold | emorris: yes | 15:52 |
| astra-xwork | QuickGold, did you have the -rv options? try those | 15:52 |
| astra-xwork | you need recursion when moving folders | 15:52 |
| opticxl | Juhaz: thank you | 15:52 |

| astra-xwork | try the second | 15:53 |
| QuickGold | k | 15:53 |
| astra-xwork | -v is only for verbosity | 15:53 |
| astra-xwork | so you know the error | 15:53 |
| bazhang | legaliza-te, not here | 15:53 |
| QuickGold | astra-xwork: mv: invalid option -- r | 15:53 |
| Juhaz | opticxl, it seems to be overflowing since there are so many errors, try pasting the contents of /etc/dmesg too | 15:53 |
| astra-xwork | QuickGold, i usually never use "mv" i use cp -rfv /one /two, then i delete the old file | 15:54 |
| QuickGold | k let me try that | 15:54 |
| QuickGold | astra-xwork: worked, thank you | 15:55 |
| astra-xwork | QuickGold, NP, good luck | 15:55 |
| ubuntu_ | Is it possible to change the text color of my tty's? i prefer green instead of plain white | 15:55 |

| opticxl | astra-xwork: I dont even have /etc/dmesg | 15:57 |
| astra-xwork | opticxl, ? | 15:57 |

| astra-xwork | you know, I honestly have no idea in linux how to change your tty settings | 16:03 |

| Oswy | Drk_Guy: I mean, I went into menu.lst and modeled the Hardy commands on my old Edgy commands. | 16:58 |

| BOZG | K-4U: I tried that but there's nothing in the .Trash folder. | 16:59 |
| Oswy | Should I just go back to the menu.lst and see what I can do? | 16:59 |
| SliMM | _trine: I had a similar problem, but after I partially upgraded to hardy (i.e. my computer shut down during upgrade) | 16:59 |

| xirov | Drk_Guy, i'll give it another try | 17:00 |
| SliMM | _trine: I solved it by installing hardy all over again | 17:00 |
| minimec | _trine: didn't follow your whole story. COuld it be a compiz/plugin thing? Do you have the icons without compiz? | 17:00 |
| SliMM | _trine: ah, like that | 17:00 |
| kevinO | SliMM, it will break, but your tool to fix is your ubuntu live cd | 17:00 |

| rockenrola | what does the grub menu.lst have to boot Windows directly, without using chainloader ? | 17:08 |
| robf_ | however, you may need more or less, it's all dependant on what you do with it | 17:08 |
| wols_ | rockenrola: not doable | 17:08 |
| _trine | minimec: how do you turn off compiz | 17:08 |
| wols_ | rockenrola: what's wrong without chainloader? | 17:09 |
| Drk_Guy | Oswy, sudo grub --> find /boot/grub/menu.lst --> root (what previous command spit out) --> setup (again, what previous command spit out) | 17:09 |
| minimec | barton-lad-ever: I tested cairo-dock. Not bad at all. | 17:09 |
| ubuntiad | wow thats alot of hd space | 17:09 |
| Nostahl | hey all im havin trouble opening ports 9000-9013 i opened them on the router | 17:09 |
| robf_ | ubuntiad: well I mean what do you use it for / how much do you plan on storing? the base layout isn't gonna be so much space needed , | 17:09 |
| Drk_Guy | xirov, ready? | 17:09 |
| Nostahl | checked a website and it still says there closed | 17:09 |
| minimec | _trine: *preferences*appearence menu | 17:09 |
| Nostahl | any idea's? | 17:09 |
| Oswy | Drk_Guy: Yeah, I've accessed the menu.lst a couple of times. | 17:09 |
| robf_ | ubuntiad: bt everything you record / archive on it, takes space, so its very dependant on your usage scale | 17:09 |
| wols_ | Nostahl: is something listening on those ports? | 17:09 |
| rockenrola | wols_: well nothing. just wanted to know how to do it | 17:09 |
| Drk_Guy | Oswy, Rats, that shouldn't be modified unless STRICTLY necessary | 17:09 |
| robf_ | Nostahl: what rouoter? | 17:09 |

| Drk_Guy | xirov, huh? | 17:11 |
| Lewi1 | i cant use compiz so is there a dock that doesnt use it | 17:11 |
| robf_ | Drk_Guy: just use the manual grub entry edit in the grub loader | 17:11 |
| Nostahl | wols was askin to see if there's a way i can check if the ports are open from within ubuntu | 17:11 |
| wols_ | Lewi1: awn? | 17:11 |
| ubuntiad | well not that it matters but what can i get out of my measly 14 gig free space u think | 17:11 |

| wols_ | Nostahl: iptables -L | 17:12 |
| robf_ | Drk_Guy: you can manually tell it to do what ya want and it has tab complete from the grub> console | 17:12 |
| Lewi1 | awn - does that run on compiz or anything like that | 17:12 |
| barton-lad-ever | can some 1 help me to install a dock on ubuntu 8.04 a easy guide for me to look at or ... | 17:12 |

| myk_robinson | is there a way to force Firefox to look into /usr/lib/mozilla/plugins for its plugins by default? | 17:27 |
| Oswy | Woo, this seems to be a good sign. | 17:28 |
| Drk_Guy | myk_robinson, sudo ln -s /usr/lib/mozilla/plugins /usr/lib/firefox/plugins | 17:28 |
| Drk_Guy | myk_robinson, If it doesn't work, switch the position of the dirs | 17:28 |
| Drk_Guy | Oswy, go ahead ;) | 17:28 |
| Oswy | Drk_Guy: It's stuck on "Waiting for root file system" | 17:28 |
| Drk_Guy | xirov, really? | 17:28 |
| chicoinc | ok now you lost me that does nothing. or have i forgotten something. do i need to type more than that | 17:29 |
| xirov | Drk_Guy, ye? | 17:29 |
| xirov | Drk_Guy, why? | 17:29 |
| Harakiri | hi people | 17:29 |
| Oswy | I guess I should revert it to /dev/hda1, or just check the MD5 again? | 17:29 |
| alfex | hai | 17:29 |
| Drk_Guy | Oswy, Weird, did you change lines that reffered to disks? | 17:29 |
| Oswy | No, just the root= part | 17:29 |
| Llynix | unop: I did dpkg-reconfigure -plow linux-image-2.6.26-4.11 linux-image modifying your line slightly to match the contents of the last dpkg.. (yours gave me an error, kernel image not found) that sorta seemed to work.. and ran update-grub for me.. but it did throw an error Package `linux-image' is not installed and no info is available. | 17:29 |
| Drk_Guy | xirov, too fast, anyway, reboot to see | 17:29 |
| alfex | I have a question.. | 17:29 |
| Oswy | I guess I'll try reverting it to /dev/hda1 and see what happens. | 17:29 |
| xirov | Drk_Guy, okay :) .. brb | 17:30 |
| Harakiri | i'm having problems setting my keyboard with amarok | 17:30 |
| Drk_Guy | Hey, Llynix comment gave me an idea, Oswy | 17:30 |
| myk_robinson | Drk_Guy: i just made the link in the directory ~/.mozilla/plugins and deleted the one in /usr/lib/firefox-3.0.1/plugins it seems to have worked | 17:30 |
| Drk_Guy | xirov ;) | 17:30 |
| Harakiri | does anyone have a Samsung 4500p Keyboard? | 17:30 |
| Drk_Guy | myk_robinson, Ok man, great | 17:30 |
| Oswy | Drk_Guy: What was that? | 17:30 |
| myk_robinson | just strange, how would a new user know to do this | 17:30 |
| wols_ | !anyone | Harakiri | 17:30 |
| ubottu | Harakiri: A large amount of the first questions asked in this channel start with "Does anyone/anybody..." Why not ask your next question (the real one) and find out? | 17:30 |
| Drk_Guy | Oswy, dpkg -l | grep linux-image | 17:30 |
| Llynix | unop: also menu.lst has not been updated :( | 17:30 |
| Oswy | In recovery mode, or in Edgy? | 17:30 |
| newbye | hi people.. got a strange problem | 17:30 |
| newbye | i have installed wg311 with ndiswrapper, and its installed ok | 17:31 |
| Drk_Guy | Oswy, take the newest one and reconfigure it with: dpkg-reconfigure linux-image... | 17:31 |
| Harakiri | I'm having trouble setting the "next-track" key with Amarok | 17:31 |
| Drk_Guy | Oswy, Recovery mode | 17:31 |
| newbye | i try to configure wifi connection, using static ip | 17:31 |
| Oswy | OK. | 17:31 |
| Lewi1 | i have installed awn but when i click it nothing happens | 17:31 |
| barton-lad-ever | WHAT DOES THIS MEEN E: Couldn't find package cairo-dock | 17:31 |
| newbye | i get ip, and gw | 17:31 |
| Drk_Guy | !kde | Harakiri | 17:31 |
| ubottu | Harakiri: KDE (http://kde.org) is the !desktop environment used natively in !Kubuntu. To install from Ubuntu: « sudo apt-get install kubuntu-desktop », or see http://help.ubuntu.com/community/InstallingKDE . See http://kubuntu.org for more information. For more information on KDE 4, see !kde4 | 17:31 |
| Harakiri | I'm using a Samsung 4500p keyboard | 17:31 |
| newbye | but cannot ping to 192.168.1.1 | 17:31 |
| chicoinc | unop: if use auto in sted of ext3, would that make a diffrence | 17:31 |
| barton-lad-ever | WHAT DOES THIS MEEN E: Couldn't find package cairo-dock | 17:31 |
| myk_robinson | newbye: what brand of router? does it allow pinging? | 17:31 |
| alfex | I installed ubuntu 8.04 on my ibook g4 (powerpc), and when I boot past yaboot, It stays at a black screen..? | 17:31 |
| Harakiri | i'm using Ubuntu Hardy Heron | 17:31 |
| barton-lad-ever | WHAT DOES THIS MEEN E: Couldn't find package cairo-dock -HELP | 17:32 |
| Drk_Guy | barton-lad-ever, DROP THE F****'N CAPS, it offends ppl | 17:32 |
| barton-lad-ever | !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!11 | 17:32 |
| ubottu | Sorry, I don't know anything about 11 | 17:32 |
| barton-lad-ever | HOW | 17:32 |
| FloodBot1 | barton-lad-ever: Please don't flood, use http://paste.ubuntu.com to paste, don't use Enter as punctuation. | 17:32 |
| myk_robinson | i think many routers by default do not respond to pings | 17:32 |
| minimec | mythuser23: There is a mythbuntu channel ... ;) /join #mythbuntu | 17:32 |
| K350 | Where do I edit teh splash? Not the boot splas or login imaage but teh one that comes after one've logged in, | 17:32 |
| Drk_Guy | barton-lad-ever, Caps lock bttn | 17:32 |
| chicoinc | then i would read /dev/sdb1/media/diskautoauto,relatime,errors=remount-ro 0 1 | 17:32 |
| Harakiri | basically it should be easy to set because some of the special keys are already configured | 17:32 |
| newbye | myk_robinson neither another computer in the network | 17:32 |
| Harakiri | the next-track special key simply does not work | 17:32 |
| barton-lad-ever | what does this meen E: Couldn't find package cairo-dock | 17:32 |
| Drk_Guy | !kubuntu | Harakiri | 17:32 |
| ubottu | Harakiri: Kubuntu is Ubuntu with KDE, the K Desktop Environment, instead of Gnome. See http://kubuntu.org for more information - For support: #kubuntu - See also !KDE | 17:32 |
| newbye | and ihave no ping outside, and the dns is well defined | 17:33 |
| thinman1189 | I remember back in dapper there was a key to press (F5 or something) that would show some boot text below the status bar. My laptop (8.04) keeps randomly hanging and I'd like to see why. any ideas? | 17:33 |
| myk_robinson | hmmm. So, i assume you are not able to get online with this PC, correct? | 17:33 |
| Drk_Guy | barton-lad-ever, that's nicer, now, the package can't be found, do this: apt-cache search cario-dock | 17:33 |
| Harakiri | Drk_Guy: i'm not interest in KDE | 17:33 |
| Drk_Guy | Harakiri, but amarok is based upon kde | 17:33 |
| barton-lad-ever | what does this meen E: Couldn't find package cairo-dock | 17:33 |
| newbye | correct myk_robinson | 17:33 |
| Harakiri | Drk_Guy: i know but this is not the case | 17:34 |
| Llynix | I'm pretty sure I could modify menu.lst myself and just add the new kernel.. but what should I put as the UUID?? | 17:34 |
| Drk_Guy | Harakiri, Go #kubuntu | 17:34 |
| imageek | K350, you mean the login splash screen? | 17:34 |
| Pici | barton-lad-ever: It means that the package cairo-dock does not exist. | 17:34 |
| Drk_Guy | Llynix, just reconfigure the kernel as someone told you above | 17:34 |
| chicoinc | I'll try and retur. thanks for the input | 17:34 |
| barton-lad-ever | drk_guy, nuttin happens | 17:34 |
| Drk_Guy | barton-lad-ever, weird | 17:34 |
| barton-lad-ever | so were do i put the package | 17:34 |
| imageek | barton-lad-ever, then there is no package in your repository named cairo-dock | 17:34 |
| Sake | hey, is it possible (and is it hard) to make my ubuntu look like this: http://www.cimitan.com/blog/wp-content/murrine-shadow-none.png | 17:35 |
| Lewi1 | i get the same message as barton | 17:35 |
| Drk_Guy | !apt | barton-lad-ever | 17:35 |
| imageek | barton-lad-ever, you need to add the repository that has cairo-dock to your /etc/apt/sources.list file | 17:35 |
| Claw6 | hello on installation i get error : failed to configure basic components | 17:35 |
| Claw6 | or something like that | 17:35 |
| Llynix | Drk_Guy: I tried.. seemed to work but threw an error at the end.. | 17:35 |
| K350 | imageek: wel, the one picture that comes after you've logged in and before yousee yoru desktop | 17:35 |
| Oswy | Drk_Guy: OK, so now I can't get back where I was. I changed it bakc to root=/dev/hda1, and when I load it up, it gets stuck on finding the root system again. | 17:35 |
| Drk_Guy | Llynix, Weird | 17:35 |
| Llynix | Drk_Guy: : I did dpkg-reconfigure -plow linux-image-2.6.26-4.11 linux-image modifying your line slightly to match the contents of the last dpkg.. (yours gave me an error, kernel image not found) that sorta seemed to work.. and ran update-grub for me.. but it did throw an error Package `linux-image' is not installed and no info is available. | 17:35 |
| Oswy | Drk_Guy: Should I check the md5 in the live CD version and copy that over? | 17:36 |
| ubottu | barton-lad-ever: APT is the Advanced Package Tool, which together with dpkg forms the basic Ubuntu package management toolkit. Short apt-get manual: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/AptGetHowto - Also see !Synaptic (Gnome) or !Adept (KDE) | 17:36 |
| imageek | K350, what desktop environment do you run? | 17:36 |
| Claw6 | wheres my problem ? | 17:36 |
| xirov | Drk_Guy, D*mn YES!!! :D | 17:36 |
| Drk_Guy | Oswy, Nope, that MD5 line is there to password your booting | 17:36 |
| xirov | Drk_Guy, Thanks a lot mate!!! :D | 17:36 |
| Oswy | So why isn't it finding the root? | 17:36 |
| Lewi1 | how do i add things to the awn | 17:36 |
| minimec | barton-lad-ever: You may have to activate universe/multiverse with synaptic. other option http://developer.berlios.de/project/showfiles.php?group_id=8724 | 17:36 |

| Llynix | alright.. I think I got it.. | 17:39 |
| xirov | Drk_Guy, Well, thanks a lot :D | 17:39 |
| Oswy | Drk_Guy: So I'm putting root=UUID=... back in; is it possible that it just would have taken a few minutes to mount and load? | 17:39 |

| kmlinnnnnnnnn | hey, is there any easier distro than ubuntu ? too much console-work here :(( | 17:43 |
| evilbug | is there a media player/app that can be used to play audio through my Airport Express? | 17:43 |
| barton-lad-ever | i wanner speak to u | 17:43 |
| javagamer | Can anyone help me access a https:// web disk with Nautilus, I tried pasting the URL into the location bar, but I keep getting "Access denied." messages without ever seeing a request for a username/password. | 17:43 |
| barton-lad-ever | in are lil convo | 17:43 |
| imageek | xirov, and barton-lad-ever you can also try installing it via ubuntu-tweak http://ubuntu-tweak.com/ | 17:43 |
| Oswy | Sweet, it works! Thanks Drk_Guy, legend2440! | 17:43 |
| Pici | kmlinnnnnnnnn: You'd be better off asking in ##linux if you want an answer. | 17:43 |
| Drk_Guy | Oswy, :D | 17:44 |
| kmlinnnnnnnnn | cant you suggest me something | 17:44 |
| evilbug | kmlinnnnnnnnn- you _should_ ask in ubuntu, but i highly doubt you'll find anything easier. | 17:44 |
| Oswy | OK, now one more question. How do I get all my old files over from Edgy to Hardy? | 17:44 |
| evilbug | kmlinnnnnnnnn- if you want something _easy_, get a mac. | 17:45 |
| imageek | kmlinnnnnnnnn, if you think ubuntu has too much console work you are probably out of luck | 17:45 |
| Oswy | I'm not talking about the programs, just the stuff I had on the desktop and whatever. Should I just copy over the home folder? | 17:45 |
| linuxnb | kmlinnnnnn: #ubuntu is about the easiest... perhaps try OpenSUSE | 17:45 |
| genii | Oswy: If the username is identical should be fine | 17:45 |
| Pichu0102 | Has anyone else had issues with ethernet adapters disappearing after updating recently? | 17:45 |
| Oswy | OK, thanks. | 17:45 |
| xirov | imageek, Whats barton-lad-ever?? | 17:46 |
| imageek | xirov, i was talking to the guy barton-lad-ever also | 17:46 |
| imageek | xirov, the ubuntu-tweak can help him with adding the respo's for cairo-dock as well as help you with the gnome-do install | 17:46 |
| alfex | can anyone help me =/ | 17:46 |
| imageek | alfex, only if you ask a question | 17:47 |
| alfex | I did earlier, actually | 17:47 |
| alfex | i'll resend it. | 17:47 |
| kmlinnnnnnnnn | ubuntu is eaasy and cool when you have time to learn all this console stuff and visit forums all the time | 17:47 |
| kmlinnnnnnnnn | i have no time for it | 17:47 |
| alfex | I installed ubuntu 8.04 on my ibook g4 (powerpc), and when I boot past yaboot, It stays at a black screen? | 17:47 |
| kmlinnnnnnnnn | but i like linux | 17:47 |
| kmlinnnnnnnnn | and wanna use it | 17:47 |
| imageek | alfex, sorry never used a powerpc | 17:48 |
| alfex | hm | 17:48 |
| imageek | alfex, did you try booting into rescue mode also? | 17:48 |
| bazhang | !ppc | 17:48 |
| ubottu | PowerPC. Formerly used by Apple for the Macintosh line of computers. Variants are now used in popular gaming consoles. PPC was a fully supported Ubuntu architecture up to and including edgy. It is now a community port, see https://wiki.ubuntu.com/PowerPCFAQ | 17:48 |
| xirov | imageek, i installed gnome-do now :) it works... is there anyway i can set some preferences?? Like hot-key, or anything? | 17:48 |
| kmlinnnnnnnnn | im too easy to spent all the time @forums | 17:48 |
| kmlinnnnnnnnn | too old, i mean | 17:48 |
| alfex | ah, i'll try that now | 17:48 |
| kmlinnnnnnnnn | :-) | 17:48 |
| kmlinnnnnnnnn | but thx for advice | 17:48 |
| imageek | xirov, if you installed the latest version, 0.5.0, then when you call it up you can click the little down arrow icon in the upper right corner to set some preferences and some plugins | 17:49 |
| Pichu0102 | Does anyone know how I can find out what the brand of my ethernet adaptor is? I can't find the hardware information in the administration menu anymore... | 17:49 |
| xirov | okay :) | 17:49 |
| imageek | Pichu0102, lspci from the command line | 17:49 |
| bazhang | lspci Pichu0102 | 17:49 |
| sigi | I cant boot linux anymore it says: grub loading please wait... error 15 then it doesnt do anything | 17:49 |
| Pichu0102 | I'll look there, thanks | 17:50 |

| sigi | i will thx :) | 17:50 |
| kmlinnnnnnnnn | similar problem after last kernel update | 17:50 |
| Pichu0102 | Hmm, I only see one ethernet controller and it's my wireless | 17:51 |
| imageek | Pichu0102, did it get disabled via the bios or something? | 17:51 |
| alfex | imageek: There is no GRUB that I see, it uses yaboot, can you get into rescue from that? Yaboot is a bootloader for powerpc. | 17:51 |
| barton-lad-ever | can u tell me how to install the cario dock or the teral code | 17:51 |
| Pichu0102 | I don't think so. It was working fine before I updated. | 17:51 |
| barton-lad-ever | the termanal code to install ???? | 17:51 |
| imageek | alfex, sorry not familiar with yaboot. I just figured it installed 2 kernels, the regular and then a rescue kernel | 17:51 |
| Pichu0102 | Probably should have waited a bit longer before applying an update that said "linux-image". | 17:52 |
| xirov | imageek, are you sure the newest is 0.5.0? | 17:52 |
| kmlinnnnnnnnn | pichu same problems ppl report @forums 24.20 semms to be broken | 17:52 |
| alfex | Well from where you choose a kernal there's "Linux" and "old" | 17:52 |
| Pichu0102 | Ah... | 17:52 |
| barton-lad-ever | help how do i install suttin | 17:52 |
| barton-lad-ever | wat is the code with terimal | 17:52 |
| imageek | xirov, yes. you need to add the launchpad repo for it | 17:53 |
| kmlinnnnnnnnn | barton, sudo aptitude install packagename | 17:53 |
| Pichu0102 | Well, at least for some reason, my WiFi doesn't seem to have terrible ping times anymore and isn't having issues holding a connection, so it's a mixed bag. | 17:53 |

| evilbug_ | Kidfork- just copy it onto the hdd. | 17:56 |
| imageek | Kidfork, you need to copy it to your hard disk and edit it there | 17:56 |
| Kidfork | Kk thanks | 17:56 |
| imageek | xirov, its a totally different version | 17:56 |
| Pichu0102 | Hmm, only eth1 is showing up, and I'm guessing it's the wireless as it's talking about associating with an AP | 17:57 |

| Avalanche^^^ | hey people, i want to instal ubuntu on separate partition, but i don't want to format the others. What should i do? I have read the manual, it says that it will resize the hard disk. Does it mean the whole disk or just that partition? | 18:02 |
| kmlinnnnnnnnn | it depends on you | 18:03 |
| imageek | Avalanche^^^, if you just tell it the one partition and tell it not to touch the others it wont mess with them | 18:03 |
| kmlinnnnnnnnn | you can resize partitin only | 18:03 |
| bobertdos | Avalanche^^^, it means it will resize the free space. | 18:03 |
| Avalanche^^^ | how can i tell it not to touch the others | 18:03 |

| kmlinnnnnnnnn | hey gunzo | 18:04 |
| bobertdos | Avalanche^^^: yeah, it's pretty straightforward | 18:04 |
| imageek | Avalanche^^^, tell it you wnat to do the manual hard drive configuration | 18:04 |
| Avalanche^^^ | on the last instalation screen, it says which disks it is going to format, but i cannot distinguish my disks | 18:04 |

| _trine | minimec: have you any idea why this should be | 18:20 |
| bobertdos | ahorner: oi! Always back up xorg before changing it. Maybe it would work to load a live session and copy xorg.conf from there into your install. | 18:20 |

| kmlinnnnnnnnn | try xine with plugins | 18:21 |

| Muntrue | bobertdos, Actualy my real question is. Why does VLC instantly crash when i try to play the DVD | 18:25 |
| saineyduto | hi | 18:25 |
| th0r | Muntrue, probably because you don't have the restricted codecs installed | 18:25 |
| bobertdos | Muntrue: Well, you have to use libdvdcss2 from medibuntu to watch encrypted DVD's. | 18:26 |
| bobertdos | !medibuntu | Muntrue | 18:26 |
| ubottu | Muntrue: medibuntu is a repository of packages that cannot be included into the Ubuntu distribution for legal reasons - See http://www.medibuntu.org | 18:26 |
| minimec | _trine: Try to add a new user once and login with gnome. As you start with a clean config, maybe you get the icons back? | 18:26 |
| Muntrue | bobertdos, Doesnt VLC include all those codecs already ? | 18:26 |

| ianyale | matt__: type host pool.ntp.org and see if you get a response. maybe it can't resolve the hostname | 18:36 |
| imperfect- | ifireball: apparently I do ;) | 18:36 |
| matt__ | ianyale: nope it resolves | 18:36 |
| isakey | anyone know what modeline is for 1680x1050@75 with reduced blanking? | 18:36 |
| bobertdos | Muntrue: I stand by my totem-xine recommendation. | 18:37 |
| ahorner | why 75 hz? if its lcd should be 60 | 18:37 |
| ianyale | matt__: hmm. you can start your ntpd again (/etc/init.d/ntpd start) and then type "ntpq -p" and it should give you a list of the time servers its synchronizing with | 18:37 |
| ifireball | imperfect-: hmm.. seems they have a version for linux, but didn't write a GUI for it | 18:37 |

| xeno99 | Hi. I'm using Amarok with an Sony Walkman (MTP) and, when I transfer, it puts each mp3 file into a separate folder rather than making folders of artist/album as they are arranged normally. Anyone know how to resolve that? | 19:18 |
| Dedoimedo | tuxnub, u can try my tutorial on me website.... | 19:18 |
| tuxnub | link? | 19:18 |
| Nite_Cat | I am trying to run an xserver inside an ubuntu vserver and it won't start. Anyone ever play with this? | 19:18 |
| SeveredCross | xeno99: Try #amarok? | 19:18 |
| Dedoimedo | www.dedoimedo.com, under computer security linux tutorial | 19:19 |
| SeveredCross | Nite_Cat: Vserver as in what? | 19:19 |
| Dedoimedo | mauricio, there are two ways of doing it | 19:19 |
| xeno99 | Thanks | 19:19 |
| Dedoimedo | gui and command line | 19:19 |
| dianapo | I am Having problems with avant window manager.... it is locking itself up after opening HELP!! plz | 19:19 |
| Dedoimedo | gui, via applications add remove | 19:19 |
| SeveredCross | VMWare, VMware Server, VMWare Player, QEmu, VirtualBox? | 19:19 |
| Dedoimedo | command line | 19:19 |
| Dedoimedo | generally sudo-apt get install <app-name> | 19:19 |
| Nite_Cat | SeveredCross: vserver is a virtual server for linux kit | 19:19 |
| Dedoimedo | if its in the repositories | 19:19 |
| mauricio | yes but if the software is for windows i dont know how to install, if are two ways so say what i do | 19:19 |
| SeveredCross | Oh. Never used it. | 19:19 |
| Dedoimedo | u can also via synaptic manager... | 19:19 |
| bsund | tuxnub, install it and be with your parents and help them configuring basic stuff like email etc.. then you should be good to go? install sun-java6-jre and maybe mplayer with w32codecs and dvdcss, and if you do that install mplayer mozilla plugin instead of totem | 19:19 |
| SeveredCross | mauricio: Why are you trying to install Windows software? | 19:19 |
| Nite_Cat | SeveredCross: It's pretty cool | 19:20 |
| Nite_Cat | :) | 19:20 |
| Dedoimedo | if the software is for windows, then u can installa virutalization program, like vmware server or virtualbox and install windows in it | 19:20 |
| SeveredCross | bsund: Or, instead of doing all that, he can just install ubuntu-restricted-extras. | 19:20 |
| bXi | anyone experiencing kernel panics with iwl3945? | 19:20 |
| Dedoimedo | or use wine, which works for 32-bit ubuntu | 19:20 |
| SeveredCross | Or you can install Wine. | 19:20 |
| bsund | SeveredCross, guess so ;) | 19:20 |
| SeveredCross | bXi: Nope, I've had Bluetooth issues though. | 19:20 |
| mauricio | no windows i sad most of aplications is for windows, not linux | 19:20 |
| dianapo | I am Having problems with avant window manager.... it is locking itself up after opening HELP!! plz | 19:20 |
| Dedoimedo | please rephrase the last sentence mauricio? | 19:20 |
| bXi | SeveredCross: what kind of issues ? | 19:20 |
| bsund | SeveredCross, but won't get dvdcss and w32codecs? also totem-mozilla is crappy | 19:21 |
| mogi | How do i use multiple ppp interfaces? | 19:21 |
| Nite_Cat | SeveredCross: We are running 16 Ubuntu vservers on an 8-way Xeon inside a CentOS container and they are so fast it's unbelievable. Ironically they server data about 100 times faster than the CentOS container did. | 19:21 |
| SeveredCross | You don't really need w32codecs, just use VLC. | 19:21 |
| stylzP | dianapo: do you use the ones from the official version? | 19:21 |
| mauricio | i want to install the lexmark printer driver and im not getting it | 19:21 |
| tuxnub | what do i need for embedded videos in firefox(like stuff that windows media player plugin used to play) | 19:21 |
| Nite_Cat | s/server/serve | 19:21 |
| Niedra | Does anyone know how to set a default sound card, at least where to look | 19:21 |
| dianapo | stylzP, what do you mean? | 19:21 |
| Dedoimedo | u wont find many lexmark drivers - had the same issue - i installed equivalent hp drivers | 19:21 |
| Dedoimedo | works a charm | 19:21 |
| mauricio | the driver is for windows xp not linux | 19:21 |
| stylzP | z | 19:22 |
| bsund | SeveredCross, does vlc handle qt and newish windows media? | 19:22 |
| Dedoimedo | even wrote about this if ure interested | 19:22 |
| mogi | where do i find documentation regarding use of multiple ppp interfaces? | 19:22 |
| Dedoimedo | what printer u got? | 19:22 |
| Dedoimedo | what model spec | 19:22 |
| Dedoimedo | ? | 19:22 |
| SeveredCross | bsund: Not sure TBH, I think it does Windows Media, QT is questionable. | 19:22 |
| mauricio | i dont know what to do | 19:22 |
| Dedoimedo | whats the model of ur printer? | 19:22 |
| SeveredCross | I'm not a big mplayer fan anyway, ugly GUI. :P | 19:22 |
| Dedoimedo | lexmark what? | 19:22 |
| stylzP | stylzP: | 19:22 |
| tuxnub | no need for qt, just windows media, vlc has a browser plugin? | 19:22 |
| stylzP | dianapo: no others sources for it added | 19:22 |

| Guest94122 | ne any help? plz, ty. | 19:38 |

| stylzP | Guest12680: reboot in recovery mode and to xfix | 19:38 |
| Dedoimedo | guest94 one moment please.... | 19:38 |
| stylzP | do | 19:38 |
| Kcaj | There is an obstacle preventing me from performing a required task, I am looking for the most simple solution to remove permissions on this system so I can "drag" folders down from an ftp to /srv/www graphically | 19:39 |
| Kcaj | This is not 1970, my desktop is a 3D sphere, it is an insult that I would haveto drop to terminal to copy over a simple folder. | 19:39 |
| Dedoimedo | kcaj if u type ls -la on desired directory, who's the owner? | 19:40 |
| Kcaj | Currently, I am unable to copy the folder over by simpkly dragging it because, apparently I do not have permissions, although I am the super most user. | 19:40 |
| Dedoimedo | kcaj open terminal | 19:40 |
| Dedoimedo | go to desired directory | 19:40 |
| vaylence | I'm having trouble installing ubuntu :o( | 19:40 |
| Kcaj | root | 19:40 |
| Dedoimedo | type ls -la (outside it, just one level above) | 19:40 |
| Dedoimedo | ok... | 19:40 |
| Kcaj | it is /var/www for Christ's sake. | 19:40 |
| Dedoimedo | and ur user is kcaj i assume/? | 19:40 |
| Kcaj | A form there of, yes | 19:40 |
| Dedoimedo | first sudo cp -R /dir1 /dir2 doesn't work? | 19:40 |
| Dedoimedo | dir1 being ur soruce and dir2 destination | 19:41 |
| Kcaj | No, I'm telling you that I can't graphically click and drag a folder from ftp over to /var/www on my screen although I am logged in as the super user. | 19:41 |
| Dedoimedo | no graphics | 19:41 |
| Dedoimedo | try via command line | 19:41 |
| Kane1 | emerald themes arent changing my panels, anybody know why not? | 19:41 |
| Dedoimedo | because ur gui is not root | 19:41 |
| Kcaj | I do not want to drop down to terminal to do something, if I have to do that, why even have a GUI? | 19:41 |
| Dedoimedo | because u have full control | 19:42 |
| crdlb | Kane1: because they're not supposed to | 19:42 |
| Guest94122 | guys, can anyone help? i cant use gui ;( while pc keeps doing what he was doing | 19:42 |
| bunz | you can change the owner of /var/www to you then | 19:42 |
| Dedoimedo | ur gui is most likely running as user | 19:42 |
| Kcaj | Yeah, my GUI is not root because Ubuntu has no root, only a super user, and I *am* in fact the super user. | 19:42 |

| Dedoimedo | kcaj u can solve the problem easily | 19:42 |
| crdlb | Kane1: the panel uses your regular application (gtk+) theme | 19:42 |
| Dedoimedo | just command line sudo cp -R /dir1 /dir2 | 19:42 |
| sos | hi | 19:43 |
| crdlb | Kane1: you can change the background though (right click -> properties) | 19:43 |

| kenkku_ | hi, following the kernel update this week (hardy-proposed, to -20), restricted drivers management added me a new module, wl. I guess it's supposed to enable my wlan chip (which works fine atm with the ndiswrapper driver). well, after that update, the wlan does not work anymore. where can I find more information about this wl module? | 19:48 |
| Dedoimedo | why do u need the user stick? | 19:48 |
| Dedoimedo | usb* | 19:48 |
| mauricio | dedoimedo im with a file called cjxp1100bp.tar.gz, it is the driver file, with the package created, what i do now? | 19:48 |
| Kcaj | I'm not goign to try any thing further, I fixed the problem by setting my super user (who I am) to the owner, and it works now as intended... it is just my personal opinion that this is how it should have always worked, or that there had been a way (with-out tinkering) to imemdiately over-ride the setting through GUI. | 19:48 |
| jostieband | Dedoimedo: i got a girlfriend.. :p | 19:48 |
| Kane1 | alright im lost, how do i get the panels to be black? download a gtk theme? | 19:48 |
| Dedoimedo | ok first extract it to its own directory, somewhere inside ur home | 19:48 |
| crdlb | Kcaj: how are you the "super user"? | 19:49 |
| Dedoimedo | but mauricio there are simpler ways.... if u can find the equivalent hp driver, we can doing it without any downloads... :) | 19:49 |
| Dedoimedo | u can go via system > administration > printing and then setup a printer (hp) that's equivalent to ur lex | 19:49 |
| Dedoimedo | i did this with my lex e232 set it up as hp pcl_6 | 19:50 |

| Estesark | How do I change a file's creation date? I've read that it isn't stored, but I believe it is: I took some photos with my digital camera set to the wrong date. I used touch to change their modification time, but when I import them to F-Spot, it still shows the old (incorrect) date, so it must know somehow. | 19:57 |
| stylzP | and yes | 19:57 |
| tingle | yes for me? | 19:57 |
| pogay | Estesark: touch | 19:58 |
| stylzP | tingle: yes | 19:58 |
| xirov | stylzP, well, its says something about ntfs, so it might be that one :) | 19:58 |
| Estesark | pogay: Yes, I used that to change the modified dates/times, but that hasn't affected their creation dates/times. | 19:58 |
| stylzP | xirov: did you properly remove it? | 19:58 |

| tomvolek | Hi All, How can I find out who is the maintaner of a specific package like Eclipse in the Ubuntu 8.04 distribution | 20:31 |
| Sirex | Avalanche^^^, remove that spare partition, and make it into 2 (swap, and root) then you're good to go. | 20:31 |
| kenkku | NoTownKasper: that would be those -extra packages | 20:31 |
| julius_ | hi leute | 20:31 |
| julius_ | jemand deutsch hier? =) | 20:31 |
| BBin | How do I enable the 8-bit mode so wine can use it (xorg.conf)? | 20:31 |
| mcquest724 | i've been trying to put ubuntu on my computer and it is completely not working, is this the right place for help? | 20:31 |
| pogay | trask: it's evident for me that the router may not answer the dhcp-requests of your client. Or do you desagree? | 20:31 |
| NoTownKasper | ... | 20:32 |
| NoTownKasper | kenkku: So, um, you're telling me that once I installed them, I can't uninstall them? | 20:32 |
| Harley^ | Howdy :) | 20:32 |
| pogay | trask - is the server how controls the client | 20:32 |
| Sirex | tomvolek, apt-cache show <package> | 20:32 |
| solexious | [Q] How do make a command from the shell run in the background? | 20:32 |
| trask | pogay: as far as the LAN boot goes it gets the IP it should | 20:32 |
| Harley^ | Is someone around who can help me with UbuntuStudio ? | 20:32 |
| tomvolek | Thanks Sirex | 20:33 |
| kenkku | NoTownKasper: you should be able to uninstall them | 20:33 |
| Avalanche^^^ | and what about making home partition? | 20:33 |
| mcquest724 | ok, well i've burned the iso file to a disk a few times and when it boots it gets stuck and just sits there with a black screen and some command lines like it's loading, but it doesn't go any further and my disc drive stops spinning | 20:33 |
| Avalanche^^^ | and will it format the other partitions? | 20:33 |
| NoTownKasper | kenkku: Ok, then help me out, what is it going to remove when it removes 'ubuntu desktop'? Cuz when i try to remove those extra packages via synaptic, it tells me it needs to remove that as well. | 20:33 |
| bullgard4 | julius_: Ich zum Beispiel. But please speak English in this channel. | 20:33 |

| Wicky656 | solexious: <command> & | 20:34 |
| Sirex | Avalanche^^^, you can get rid of the spare partition, and use the space for root, swap, and home if you want, but root and swap would be enogh (bit better to have sperate as you can reinstall without losing so much) - its upto you | 20:34 |
| mcquest724 | can anyone see what i'm typing? | 20:34 |
| kenkku | NoTownKasper: could you paste the output of apt-get to pastebin.com for me? | 20:34 |
| Sirex | as long as you dont select to remove the wrong partition, you should be ok | 20:34 |

| Godstrong | is xandros any good? | 21:05 |
| pogay | jazzwhiz: I think you could define it in fstab, that a user can mount | 21:05 |

However, if I enable the ATI restricted driver and reboot, I can log in, but then the screen goes blank and nothing but the mouse works. Even the software shut down switch on the computer doesn't work. | 21:12 |

| Odd-rationale | Voxicles: are you running compiz? try without compiz and see if it still happens... | 21:14 |
| c0ld_Fuzi0n | @cheese - you should be able to log in with an older kernel at boot by accessing the grub menu | 21:14 |

| SeveredCross | Masteredu_: Anyway, to get FAt32, you don't need to do anything. | 21:28 |
| Masteredu_ | ubottu | 21:29 |
| SeveredCross | FAT32 is built into Linux. | 21:29 |

| rwk424x | hi how do you find out your ip of your samba shared hdd? | 21:29 |
| Masteredu_ | <SeveredCross> how you mean | 21:29 |
| unop | SeveredCross, that's not always true. | 21:29 |
| Blacklight | muppetexperience: I don't believe you can then | 21:29 |
| SeveredCross | unop: Uhm, it's not? | 21:29 |
| hyppias | ok | 21:29 |
| pogay | bullgard4: try first in the console itself, that in the gome-window | 21:29 |
| SeveredCross | I've never had an Ubuntu kernel without FAT32. | 21:29 |
| Masteredu_ | how cani become fat 32 support | 21:30 |
| unop | SeveredCross, the module has to be compiled in or loaded. | 21:30 |
| SeveredCross | unop: I'm not sure that's a module. | 21:30 |
| Masteredu_ | -..- | 21:30 |
| Masteredu_ | bye | 21:30 |
| Masteredu_ | i go-..- | 21:30 |
| SeveredCross | I'd have to go mount a fat32 drive to make sure, but I don't think it is. | 21:30 |
| unop | SeveredCross, lsmod | grep -i fat | 21:30 |
| rwk424x | how do i find out the ip of my external hdd in my networK+ | 21:30 |
| SeveredCross | hmm, it is a module. Interesting. | 21:31 |
| unop | SeveredCross, like i said, it can be compiled in too .. | 21:31 |
| Sirex | rwk424x, i dont know the "proper" way. but cheops-ng would do it i suspect. | 21:31 |

| ycy | what's the difference if i install ubuntu from ubuntu-desktop and ubuntu-server? | 21:32 |
| bunz | server has no graphical interface (X) | 21:32 |
| _Zeus_ | by default | 21:32 |
| _Zeus_ | but you can install a GUI if you want it | 21:33 |
| Sirex | hyppias, i dont know eeepc, but i assume so. unless it has something built in already | 21:33 |

| ycy | _Zeus_ bunz what's the other stuff? ubuntu-server is a subset of ubuntu's desktop preinstalled packaged or viceversa? | 21:33 |
| _Zeus_ | ycy: neither | 21:33 |

| RYknow | Is there a way to do it with Windows MCE? | 21:45 |
| funkybuby | the transfer it is the simplest, take the elite and the 20 gig to a shop they might do it for him | 21:45 |
| RYknow | I assume not? | 21:45 |
| Flannel | bazz: getmail/fetchmail and procmail | 21:45 |
| rwk424x | RYknow: of course there is | 21:45 |

| rwk424x | yeah | 21:52 |
| Spice | i gotta go | 21:52 |
| RYknow | Ok cool. | 21:52 |
| SaintStewart | haddoc1, Do you have anything on the drive you dont want to lose? If not, then the easiest would be just to reinstall 7.10, then the moment you get to your desktop after install, upgrade to 8.04 | 21:52 |
| RYknow | I might give that a shot then. | 21:52 |

| stickwithjosh | Sorry to repeat, but to be more clear, is there a way to mount a HFS partition as a authorized user (passing a user / pass in the mount command) with HH ? | 22:06 |
| stefan__ | Alt+Shift, Scroll Lock diode lights up? | 22:06 |
| routinet | Odd-rationale: I did, but GRUB says cannot mount partition | 22:06 |
| joomla_user | stickwithjosh, i don't think so | 22:07 |
| routinet | during install, i repartitioned sda1 into ~25g for / and ~5g for swap | 22:07 |
| Odd-rationale | routinet: after the install? | 22:07 |
| routinet | then it asked me where to put the boot loader, and I chose sda | 22:07 |
| joomla_user | 1g swap i enough | 22:07 |
| joomla_user | more then | 22:07 |
| Harley^ | How can I fix this ? | 22:07 |
| routinet | after install, grub loaded, lists two ubuntu (one normal, one recovery) but neither will mount | 22:08 |
| routinet | winxp boot is way gone | 22:08 |
| SaintStewart | Nacht, Im guessing you just came from Windows? If so, your install disks wont work on Ubuntu unless you run some other special software called WINE....and even then, you might still not be able to. Linux is entirely different than Windows, like a Mac is. | 22:08 |

| PucKid | thank you Abed, i'll try that | 22:09 |
| routinet | so...I'll reinstall WinXP on sda5. It will again use sda1 for ntldr. What do I do from there? | 22:09 |
| Abed | PucKid ok | 22:09 |
| genii | Nacht: You would be better off to first try to see if the things you want to try and install from te installation cds comes in a native linux program first, and then install that. | 22:09 |
| PucKid | Abed: it sais this : E: Invalid operation camorama | 22:10 |
| PucKid | oh yeah *install camorama :P | 22:10 |
| Abed | PucKid sorry it is sudo apt-get install camorama | 22:10 |
| Nacht | genii - I'm just trying to get my wireless interenet adapter | 22:10 |
| PucKid | Abed: yes, i tried it that way, now it works | 22:10 |
| Abed | then try camorama in the terminal | 22:10 |
| haddoc1 | SaintStewart: yeah i could grab the files so i'm just gonna do that. thank you man, atleast i didn't lose all these files in a rash decision to just install.. now i just hope that external is usb heh. thanks a lot man enjoy | 22:11 |

| Odd-rationale | routinet: ok. well then get rid of sda5, and shrink the logical partition to fit sda6. put xp in sda1 and ubuntu in sda2 and swap in sda3 | 22:14 |

| Sirex | yea, i got mp3 going right now | 22:15 |
| Odd-rationale | routinet: sda2 is the logical partition. delete sda5 and shrink sda2 to fit sda6. then install windows in sda1 (primary partitoin) and ubuntu in sda3 (primary partiton). | 22:16 |
| Cheese | I've upgraded Ubuntu multiple times over the years and never have gotten this card to work with dual heads. I got close years ago on Debian, but had to do the whole thing from source and it took forever | 22:16 |

| soundray | remicks916: are you a member of the admin group? | 22:51 |
| crimsun_ | cviorel: then you need a custom routing table via asoundrc. | 22:52 |
| remicks916 | yes soundray | 22:52 |
| crimsun_ | cviorel: or you need to manually adjust the mapping via /etc/pulse/default.pa | 22:52 |

| pbrown985 | why would you install unbuntu for your parents? | 22:53 |
| cviorel | that's ok crimsun_ done that | 22:53 |
| soundray | remicks916: does sudo adduser work? | 22:53 |
| cviorel | thought that I missed out something | 22:53 |
| ttwaro | Bear with me, I've never use IRC before. Let me know if I should be somewhere else. I was sent here from an ubuntu forum. I have an HP laptop (dv6258se) that I have installed 8.04 on. I'm using the gnome desktop which is new to me but I like very much. Anyway, my immediate problem is a blank screen after my computer is idle for an extended period of time. I responds to caps-lock, etc but won't display anything. I have to ctrl-alt-backspace to get out of it | 22:53 |
| ttwaro | and lose whatever I was doing. Anyone have any ideas how to rectify this. It didn't use to do this. | 22:53 |
| robsz | this is why getting linux is hard. i just want to get gnome working on my server but not include all the apps from ubuntu-desktop but no answers available | 22:53 |
| yolli | where i can get the non-free-codecs? | 22:53 |
| cviorel | I'll keep searching | 22:53 |
| soundray | remicks916: e.g. 'sudo adduser remicks somegroup' | 22:53 |
| kenkku | ttwaro: try changing to tty1 with ctrl+alt+f1 and then back to X with ctrl+alt+f7 | 22:54 |
| remicks916 | yeah that workd it hink | 22:54 |
| remicks916 | i think* testing | 22:54 |
| crimsun_ | robsz: easily show via `apt-cache search ^gnome-desktop' | 22:54 |
| crimsun_ | robsz: e.g., you probably want gnome-desktop-environment | 22:55 |
| kenkku | ttwaro: once you press the first keys, it should take you to a text-only login window. when you press the second shortcut, it goes back to the graphical environment | 22:55 |
| crimsun_ | sorry, shown* | 22:55 |
| remicks916 | how would i add that new account to admins soundray ? | 22:55 |
| zvacet | yolli : http://www.medibuntu.org/ | 22:55 |
| soundray | ttwaro: you've come to the right place. I would first check in System-Preferences-Power Management and System-Preferences-Screensaver whether anything in there might explain the unwanted blanking | 22:55 |
| remicks916 | ie: allow SUDO for the new account | 22:55 |
| elexodus | robsz: I was thinking ftp/gaming | 22:55 |
| robsz | crimsun_: will that give me just a core gnome install? | 22:55 |
| crimsun_ | cviorel: what did you try, the ttable routing and/or PA mapping? | 22:56 |
| soundray | remicks916: if it's a new user account you're creating, it's a two step process. First you do 'sudo adduser newusername', then 'sudo adduser newusername admin' | 22:56 |
| ttwaro | I'll try that next time. thx. I also have problem with suspend and hibernate but that's another thing. Is there something to do that will prevent me doing ctrl-alt-f1, etc.? | 22:56 |

| neurobuntu | So is there no way for me to get SUDO back without having physical access to my computer? | 23:00 |
| crimsun_ | cviorel: is the latter your -entire- ~/.asoundrc? | 23:00 |
| lionfish | SlimG: Did you want to check for bad blocks? | 23:01 |
| neurobuntu | ok once I have physical access what can I do to get root access back? | 23:01 |
| kenkku | neurobuntu: the root account does not have a password set by default, which prevents logging in as root. you can still gain root priviliges if you have physical access to the machine | 23:01 |
| lionfish | Or for screwed up file sytem? | 23:01 |
| soundray | ttwaro: the first stop is to look at /etc/default/acpi-support -- see if any of the things you can change in there make a difference. The video-related ones often do. | 23:01 |
| cviorel | crimsun_, yeap | 23:01 |

| bobertdos | cookie_dough: Now, you're having a wireless problem? | 23:31 |
| Dr_Link|Laptop | great! | 23:31 |
| webdemon | Backtrack,suse and fedora all ran on this system before ubuntu =\ | 23:31 |
| muffy | got a new monitor(1680x1050), I managed to get the resolution right at the login screen, but it jumps back to 1280x1024 the moment I log in | 23:31 |
| cookie_dough | bobertdos: Yes | 23:31 |
| Abed | is there a VB 6.0 program for ubuntu? | 23:31 |
| webdemon | Im lookin at xfce now | 23:31 |
| cookie_dough | bobertdos: The wireless card is not recognized | 23:32 |
| zvacet | cheryle : sudo apt-get install ubuntu-restricted-extras | 23:32 |
| soundray | Abed: no, that's highly Windows specific and proprietary | 23:32 |
| Dr_Link|Laptop | Time to go sit this computer down in its real location, replace the CMOS battery (waiting on the replacement), remove GNOME and the X window system | 23:32 |
| Abed | ok | 23:32 |
| soundray | Abed: learn a good, open source language like Python | 23:32 |
| cookie_dough | bobertdos: Nor is there a wlan0 interface. And it says it is using proprietry drivers for it | 23:32 |
| Dr_Link|Laptop | speaking of which, how do I remove gnome and X? | 23:32 |
| Abed | soundray do u have a tutorial?? | 23:32 |
| Dr_Link|Laptop | Seems like a bit of a ... *ulp* daunting task. | 23:32 |
| muffy | Dr_Link|Laptop: sudo apt-get remove xserver gnome-desktop | 23:33 |
| muffy | or something | 23:33 |
| Drk_Guy | Hi!!! | 23:33 |
| Drk_Guy | anybody needs help? | 23:33 |
| soundray | Dr_Link|Laptop: don't. Just remove the packages that take up a lot of space. 'ls -lrS /var/cache/apt/archives' gives an impression | 23:33 |
| muffy | Drk_Guy: well I have monitor problems | 23:33 |
| Drk_Guy | muffy, X stuff, huh? | 23:33 |
| Dr_Link|Laptop | soundray: Why not? | 23:33 |
| soundray | Abed: no, but there are plenty on the web and I believe there's a #python channel | 23:33 |
| Dr_Link|Laptop | It's not needed. | 23:33 |
| Drk_Guy | muffy, Let's see if i can give it a shot | 23:33 |
| muffy | Drk_Guy: it is good (1680x1050) at the login screen, but it jumps back to 1280x1024 when I log in | 23:34 |
| Dr_Link|Laptop | Since I'm just doing this as a home server | 23:34 |
| cheryle | i am new to linux, those pages are confusing me .. can i just run a command line? | 23:34 |
| kindofabuzz | wait vb6 for ubuntu? why o why? | 23:34 |
| Odd-rationale | muffy: did you try system --> pref --> screen resolution ? | 23:34 |
| Drk_Guy | muffy, weird as normally, gdm is the one with the wrong res | 23:34 |
| Abed | soundray i would like to look at google first abd btw do u know ADA? | 23:34 |
| AMDpenguin | !amd | 23:34 |
| ubottu | Sorry, I don't know anything about amd | 23:34 |
| Odd-rationale | cheryle: java right? | 23:34 |
| AMDpenguin | !intel | 23:34 |
| ubottu | Sorry, I don't know anything about intel | 23:34 |
| soundray | Dr_Link|Laptop: it won't cause any harm, though, either. And, as you rightly say, it's a daunting task to remove it fully. I'm lazy that way | 23:34 |
| cheryle | yes | 23:34 |
| muffy | Odd-rationale: Drk_Guy yeah, it only gives weird resoltions as an option | 23:35 |
| Dr_Link|Laptop | !myself | 23:35 |
| ubottu | Sorry, I don't know anything about myself | 23:35 |
| Odd-rationale | Cheatah: sudo apt-get install sun-java6-jre | 23:35 |
| Dr_Link|Laptop | I had to do it. | 23:35 |
| Dr_Link|Laptop | Sorry. | 23:35 |
| muffy | Odd-rationale: Dr_Link|Laptop resolutions that are not in xorg.conf | 23:35 |
| Drk_Guy | AMDpenguin, Hi, did you buy your nvidia card? | 23:35 |
| keram | hello | 23:35 |
| Dr_Link|Laptop | muffy: huhwhat? | 23:35 |
| cheryle | Unable to fetch some archives, maybe run apt-get update or try with --fix-missing? | 23:35 |
| soundray | Abed: no, but I've heard that NASA uses it for critical software that must never fail ;) | 23:35 |
| keram | i can find my bluetooth phone by using hcitool scan, but my phone cannot find my computer | 23:35 |
| Dr_Link|Laptop | Hmmm... | 23:35 |
| Dr_Link|Laptop | ! | 23:35 |
| keram | is there a program or something that needs to be running to enable discovery? | 23:36 |
| muffy | Dr_Link|Laptop: Drk_Guy nm, it works now | 23:36 |
| h-town | is there a way to get my sound card working with ubuntu if the company doesn't support linux? | 23:36 |
| Drk_Guy | muffy, XD | 23:36 |
| kenkku | keram: try bluetooth-applet | 23:36 |
| Odd-rationale | cheryle: do "sudo apt-get update" first amd make sure the unvierse and multiunivers repos are enabled. | 23:36 |
| Drk_Guy | muffy, Ok | 23:36 |
| soundray | h-town: depends on the card | 23:36 |
| Abed | soundray yeah and DOD and i really want to learn it | 23:36 |
| soundray | !sound > h-town | 23:36 |
| ubottu | h-town, please see my private message | 23:36 |
| AMDpenguin | Drk_Guy: nope | 23:36 |
| muffy | the screen resolution thing didn't work at first, but now I have a somewhat better xorg file it does show the right resolutiens | 23:36 |
| AMDpenguin | Drk_Guy: if i did i would have to buy a bigger PSU. My computer PSU is only 250 watts | 23:36 |
| cheryle | E: The update command takes no arguments | 23:37 |
| h-town | numark dj-io | 23:37 |
| soundray | h-town: most Linux drivers have been written without manufacturer support | 23:37 |
| Drk_Guy | AMDpenguin, Bad, i have 500 Watts | 23:37 |
| h-town | i've looked on google but i've had no luck finding anything | 23:37 |
| AMDpenguin | Drk_Guy: instead i bought 2GBs of ram and FLightgear runs more smooth | 23:37 |
| Drk_Guy | AMDpenguin, Enought to run 2 processors | 23:37 |
| KalhaS | hello | 23:37 |
| muffy | AMDpenguin: I have a 90W PSU ;) | 23:37 |
| soundray | h-town: did you get ubottu's pm? | 23:37 |
| Drk_Guy | AMDpenguin, You mean smoother, right? | 23:37 |
| keram | kenkku, thanks | 23:37 |
| muffy | 60W PSU* | 23:37 |
| AMDpenguin | I already have a BE-2350 which is an energy efficent cpu | 23:37 |
| muffy | yay for my VIA mini-ITX borad | 23:37 |
| AMDpenguin | Drk_Guy: yes smoother frame rates dont drop as bad | 23:38 |
| h-town | yea i'm going to check those links now | 23:38 |
| Odd-rationale | cheryle: "sudo apt-get update" just like that without the quotes... | 23:38 |
| Drk_Guy | AMDpenguin, I have a generic PSU, but it works real good | 23:38 |
| cheryle | odd .. i know that | 23:38 |
| muffy | the whole PC (excluding screen) draws 30W idle, 42-ish at full load | 23:38 |
| KalhaS | suddenly firefox 3 shows letters as underscore lines. i can only see pages if i choose No Style (Ubuntu 8.04) | 23:38 |
| Odd-rationale | cheryle: ok | 23:38 |
| Xsss4hell | Is 8.04.1 is newer then 8.04?? | 23:38 |
| Odd-rationale | Xsss4hell: yes | 23:38 |
| AMDpenguin | I got a generic one too it came with my COmputer when i bought | 23:38 |
| kindofabuzz | duh | 23:38 |
| Xsss4hell | ok =) | 23:38 |
| muffy | but it will become an X-less server as soon as I get my laptop :D | 23:38 |
| sweetgum | Odd-rationale: can you explain: squahfs-tools mkisofs ? | 23:39 |
| muffy | whoah, 1680 are *a lot* of pixels | 23:39 |
| soundray | Odd-rationale: I'm sure he meant 'ok, thank you' :0 | 23:39 |
| Drk_Guy | AMDpenguin, I got 2 1G sticks | 23:39 |
| Odd-rationale | sweetgum: not really... | 23:39 |
| AMDpenguin | same here =D | 23:39 |
| * muffy is so gonna mount his monitor vertically | 23:39 | |
| Odd-rationale | soundray: thanks... | 23:39 |
| soundray | :) | 23:40 |
| muffy | I'm in a helpfull (ful?) mood :D | 23:40 |
| kindofabuzz | 1 l | 23:40 |
| soundray | muffy: -ful is correct | 23:40 |
| routinet | I always get that way after mounting my monitor | 23:40 |
| sweetgum | Odd-rationale: Also, The package can't be found.. | 23:41 |
| muffy | widescreen monitors are only usefull for movie playback IMHO | 23:41 |
| muffy | text editors and webpages all benefit from a 'longer' screen | 23:41 |
| grizlo42 | hi, i am upgrading to 8.04 right now, and the upgrade froze while generating locales at about 5 minutes left while doing the installing | 23:41 |
| soundray | muffy: 1680 pixels? You have a 40x42 screen? | 23:42 |
| muffy | grizlo42: did you check the CD for errors? | 23:42 |
| grizlo42 | not from a cd | 23:42 |
| grizlo42 | from online | 23:42 |
| muffy | oh ok | 23:42 |
| kenkku | muffy: turn the widescreen monitor 90 degrees and ta-da, yo've got a looooong screen | 23:42 |
| Abed | soundray i am going to reboot and try to enable bluetooth from bios | 23:42 |
| h-town | i just checked out the alsa sound card matrix and numark isn't listed as a supported vendor, does that mean i'm out of luck?? | 23:42 |
| muffy | kenkku: I know, I already have the monitor arm :D will install it when I move to my room on teh campus in a month | 23:42 |
| sweetgum | Odd-rationale: ? | 23:43 |
| Odd-rationale | sweetgum: yeah? | 23:43 |
| Saladin | Hiya, just some advice please... I have two partitions, but for some reason, my second partition doesn't mount automatically... Any ideas how to make it do so? | 23:43 |
| muffy | Saladin: put it in fstab | 23:43 |
| abrock | Anyone know a solution to get Firefox 3 to stream m3u files instead of saving them? | 23:43 |
| soundray | h-town: not if it's just a re-branded card by another manufacturer. Find out the chipset, see if it's listed in lspci output | 23:43 |
| muffy | !fstab | 23:43 |
| ubottu | The /etc/fstab file indicates how drive partitions are to be used or otherwise integrated into the file system. See http://www.tuxfiles.org/linuxhelp/fstab.html and !Partitions | 23:43 |
| grizlo42 | en_AU.UTF-8 is where it is stuck...... | 23:44 |
| soundray | !fstab > Saladin | 23:44 |
| ubottu | Saladin, please see my private message | 23:44 |
| muffy | grizlo42: did you try hard-resetting an retrying? | 23:44 |
| grizlo42 | hard reseting? | 23:44 |
| grizlo42 | as in pulling the plug? | 23:44 |
| grizlo42 | no | 23:44 |
| === sean is now known as Guest37575 | ||
| muffy | grizlo42: pressing the reset/power switch on the pc | 23:44 |
| sweetgum | Odd-rationale: The first command Isn't working, I guess i should go to slax | 23:44 |
| grizlo42 | no ill give that a try | 23:44 |
| muffy | grizlo42: there isn't much else you can do =p | 23:45 |
| grizlo42 | but that seems dangerous during an install | 23:45 |
| Odd-rationale | sweetgum: here's another way: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/LiveCDCustomizationFromScratch | 23:45 |
| soundray | grizlo42: it's a known bug | 23:45 |
| muffy | you can stare at the screen | 23:45 |
| h-town | soundray: i take it that the lspci output would be inside my sound card's manual? | 23:45 |
| grizlo42 | ok..... | 23:45 |
| soundray | grizlo42: don't pull the plug | 23:45 |
| grizlo42 | what do i do then? | 23:45 |
| bobertdos | Saladin: If you have any trouble with fstab, let me know. | 23:45 |
| muffy | ctrl alt escape | 23:45 |
| soundray | grizlo42: sec | 23:45 |
| Odd-rationale | sweetgum: or this: http://reconstructor.aperantis.com/index.php?option=com_content&task=view&id=14&Itemid=37 | 23:45 |
| grizlo42 | soundray: ok | 23:45 |
| muffy | grizlo42: don't listen to me =p | 23:45 |
| soundray | h-town: lspci is a terminal command that lists pci cards | 23:45 |
| grizlo42 | muffy: im not :P | 23:45 |
| soundray | grizlo42: I'll dig out the bug report | 23:45 |
| h-town | does it matter if it's a usb external sound card? | 23:46 |
| linxeh | heh | 23:46 |
| routinet | I have a drive partitioned as: sda1=30g/WinXP, sda2=25g/Ubuntu, sda3=5g/swap, sda5=NTFS data. During Ubuntu install, what device should I select for the boot loader? | 23:46 |
| Odd-rationale | sweetgum: just google around. you can find lots of guides... | 23:46 |
| soundray | grizlo42: see ubottu's link below on bug #249340 | 23:46 |
| ubottu | Launchpad bug 249340 in langpack-locales "Gutsy->Hardy upgrade hangs in localedef" [High,Triaged] https://launchpad.net/bugs/249340 | 23:46 |
| soundray | h-town: yes | 23:47 |
| routinet | The choices are (hd0), sda, sda1, sda2, sda5, sda-1 | 23:47 |
| sweetgum | Odd-rationale: What is this? A way of rebuilding ubuntu? | 23:47 |
| soundray | h-town: lspci won't list those. Try lsusb instead. Most USB audio devices are supported | 23:47 |
| grizlo42 | ok | 23:47 |
| grizlo42 | ill check | 23:47 |
| Odd-rationale | routinet: sda. i'm quite sure... | 23:47 |
| amenado | routinet-> id use sda2 | 23:47 |
| Odd-rationale | sweetgum: yeah. that's what you're looking for? | 23:48 |
| Odd-rationale | amenado: not the MBR? | 23:48 |
| amenado | nope | 23:48 |
| sweetgum | Odd-rationale: yeah, it doesn't seem like that's waht it does? | 23:48 |
| Odd-rationale | amenado: why not? grub can chainload the windows boot loader. no? | 23:48 |
| sjust1216 | Hi all I am upgrading my computer, new MB,CPU Mem,and graphice card. Will I need to reinstall Hardy if I do? | 23:49 |
| histo | sjust1216: no | 23:49 |
| Terabyte | hey, how can i check if a friend is using gnome or kde at the moment? | 23:49 |
| linuxfce | CoolBits is disabled by NVIDIA corporation for mobile GPUs. Nvclock uses coolbits backend. Is there any way I can circumvent this behavior? | 23:49 |
| Terabyte | (what command should he type to check?) | 23:49 |
| histo | Terabyte: look at this monitor | 23:49 |
| sjust1216 | I did not think I had too but just wanted to be sure | 23:49 |
| amenado | Odd-rationale-> having it not installed on MBR provides less problems with dual boots | 23:50 |
| histo | Terabyte: well they appear drasticly different. The menu system etc... | 23:50 |
| linuxfce | In windows, it is not disabled, and I can get a (very stable) significant overclock. Overclocking is very important for compiz fusion with my card. | 23:50 |
| h-town | ok, after putting lsusb into terminal i get a list of buses, all of them read zeros except for two, one says microsoft (my mouse) and the other says some numbers, i guess this is my sound card? | 23:50 |
| soundray | sjust1216: it may or may not work, depending on how different the new hardware is | 23:50 |
| sweetgum | Odd-rationale: have you successfully compiled your own kernel module ? | 23:50 |
| Terabyte | histo, is there a command...... | 23:50 |
| Odd-rationale | amenado: so which bootloader would he use? | 23:50 |
| sweetgum | done | 23:50 |
| amenado | Odd-rationale-> for linux, its grub | 23:50 |
| soundray | sjust1216: prepare for some minor problems. It's a good idea to switch to a VESA video driver before you go ahead (use gksudo displayconfig-gtk) | 23:50 |
| sweetgum | give | 23:51 |
| linuxfce | Is there any way I can install nvidia 169.04 drivers without using nvidia.com? Perhaps there is an old nvidia-glx-new package that uses 169.04? | 23:51 |
| routinet | sda1 is winxp, sda2 is /. What are /dev/sda and /dev/sda-1? | 23:51 |
| sjust1216 | It all will still be nvidia but about four generations diff | 23:51 |
| mahrellon | linuxfce: Have you tried using envy? (use "sudo apt-get install envy to" install) | 23:51 |
| soundray | routinet: /dev/sda is the hard disk drive that contains the partitions /dev/sda1 and /dev/sda2 | 23:51 |
| soundray | routinet: /dev/sda-1 is not a well-formed name in Linux | 23:52 |
| nicholashubbard | hey guys I am trying to create a script that does some apt-get install things for me, and I can't figure out how to disable the package pre-configuration screens.....anyone able to give me a pointer | 23:52 |
| routinet | soundray: understood, and I didn't create a partition with that name | 23:52 |
| linuxfce | Yes mahrellon, envy helped me to get 173.xx.xx installed. They updated it today, yesterday it was 169.12. However, 173.xx also disables coolbits in mobile GPUs | 23:52 |
| Odd-rationale | amenado: hmm. i always installed grub as the MBR... :) | 23:52 |
| sjust1216 | I was thinking just going in under recovery kernel and then reinstall the graphics drivers | 23:52 |
| routinet | if I go back to the partitioning step, I don't see /sda-1 there | 23:52 |
| Saladin | Just another question... How well does an Ubuntu machine integrate itself into a Windows network, if it does at all? | 23:52 |
| mahrellon | linuxfce: Then I'm out of tips for you m8, sorry. I'm a tad tired so I'll let you know if I think of something lol | 23:52 |
| linuxfce | I read somewhere that 169.04 may be able to help me, but I don't know how to install this since nvidia-xconfig fails to properly enable the kernel modules and crashes X | 23:53 |
| soundray | sjust1216: you can do that, too, but my suggestion requires fewer reboots | 23:53 |
| AnimatedBox | where can I find grub-gfxboot version 0.97-5.deb? | 23:53 |
| Odd-rationale | amenado: like shown here... https://help.ubuntu.com/community/RecoveringUbuntuAfterInstallingWindows | 23:53 |
| linuxfce | Is there anywhere I can access old versions of nvidia-glx-new? | 23:53 |
| sjust1216 | ok i will look in to that | 23:53 |
| linuxfce | or would the package fail to work because the required files have been deleted? | 23:53 |
| xarby | I just purchased a new laptop that has 4GB of ram; I booted an ubuntu livecd, and system monitor applet shows only 3GB...is ubuntu (32bit) limited to 3GB of ram? | 23:54 |
| mahrellon | Linuxfce, getdeb.org? :) | 23:54 |
| mahrellon | *.net | 23:54 |
| histo | xarby: no | 23:54 |
| linuxfce | mahrellon I will try that, thank you. | 23:54 |
| sjust1216 | its just vesa does not work so well on my lcd panel | 23:54 |
| xarby | then why is it only seeing 3GB? | 23:54 |
| kenkku | xarby: yes. all 32-bit oses are | 23:54 |
| Odd-rationale | amenado: but then again... i don't dual boot anymore... :D | 23:54 |
| mahrellon | linuxfce, anytime m8. Good luck and hope you sort it out | 23:54 |
| sjust1216 | everything to big | 23:54 |
| xarby | so then I need to download 64bit ubuntu? | 23:54 |
| soundray | sjust1216: it's the last thing you should be doing on the old system, and the first thing to change back once the new one is up | 23:55 |
| linuxfce | mahrellon nothing on that site is found for keyword "nvidia" | 23:55 |
| kenkku | xarby: if you want to utilize all 4 GB, then yes | 23:55 |
| xarby | I've heard bad things about 64bit ubuntu....like many packages fail to work etc | 23:55 |
| sjust1216 | makes sense | 23:55 |
| amenado | Odd-rationale-> do you just use the virtualization now? | 23:55 |
| soundray | xarby: or live with the fact that you have only 3GB available. 64bit is wonderful in my experience | 23:55 |
| mahrellon | linuxfce, then we're back at square one. Hmm...I'll get back to ya (if I don't fall asleep at the keyboard again) if I think of something :) | 23:55 |
| xarby | :\ rats | 23:55 |
| soundray | xarby: very few issues here, mostly relating to java in firefox | 23:55 |
| linuxfce | mahrellon I have been working on this daily for a few days, few hours each day. It really upsets me that nvidia is restricting me like this, I feel like I'm on windows because of the one closed source file on this machine | 23:55 |
| kenkku | xarby: 3gb is a lot anyway ;) | 23:55 |
| sjust1216 | I think I might download the most recent version to be safe | 23:55 |
| Odd-rationale | amenado: none! :P (ok. other family member have windows, which i can use if i need... ) | 23:56 |
| xarby | well thanks guess I'll have to go download & burn a new iso | 23:56 |
| kenkku | xarby: I'vee never managed to use my 2gb fully | 23:56 |
| Drk_Guy | !envyng | sjust1216 keep this as an alternative | 23:56 |
| ubottu | sjust1216 keep this as an alternative: envyng is an updated version of the *UNSUPPORTED* envy package. It is now part of the ubuntu universe repository (envyng-gtk OR envyng-qt) we suggest you use envyng if every other (official/supported) method fails! it can have various results from works, to fails!!! if you want the very latest drivers from the manufacturer you use them at your own risk | 23:56 |
| linuxfce | The worst part of all is, nvidia doesn't restrict overclocking for this GPU in windows, ONLY in linux. | 23:56 |
| Abed | soundray i tried F2 and logged into BIOS but i saw nth about enabling BT | 23:56 |
| Drk_Guy | linuxfce, Coolbits is not completely ported to linux, i'm sure they'll enhance it soon | 23:57 |
| Drk_Guy | ;) | 23:57 |
| routinet | the links I'm reading say it can work with either, but I'm not sure I understand the difference | 23:57 |
| routinet | By default, Ubuntu has selected (hd0) | 23:57 |
| sjust1216 | I already use envyng have since ti first came out two yrs ago | 23:57 |
| sjust1216 | it | 23:57 |
| linuxfce | Drk_Guy, it says that it is disabled in Mobile GPU's, I dont think it's an enahancement issue, because underclocking functions just fine ;) | 23:58 |
| Odd-rationale | routinet: well, looks like it is your choice.... (i'd use sda ;) ) | 23:58 |
| sjust1216 | I use optimizes driver on the xp side | 23:58 |
| Paradoxx | What is the command for making isos from a cd? | 23:58 |
| Drk_Guy | linuxfce, did you enable coolbits on xorg.confP? | 23:58 |
| linuxfce | Drk_Guy yes this is how I know overclocking doesn't work, and underclocking does. | 23:58 |
| soundray | Abed: does your laptop have a hotkey for turning BT on/off? | 23:58 |
| Drk_Guy | linuxfce, nvclock pwns for overclocking nv cards | 23:59 |
