| chunda | hi guys. I don't know what to do. I've tried editing the xorg.conf, use proprietary driver and i can't have a dual screen working properly. all i can have is a cloned view, even i unchecking the "clone" function | 00:00 |
|---|---|---|
| fyre|work | chunda: what is your video card? | 00:00 |
| mohshami | GT1: I'll set it to use aplay and see what happens | 00:00 |
| chunda | it's a radeon mobility FireGL 9000 | 00:00 |
| moshe | thx for the reminder blaqlight. I'll look elsewhere | 00:00 |
| chunda | its a dell latitude d600, and i'm using the opensource driver | 00:00 |
| fyre|work | oh, can't help you then -- if it was nvidia you'd have more luck :) | 00:00 |
| omari | did they just get rid of airsnort for ubuntu hardy | 00:01 |
| GT1 | mohshami - Alright! Good luck! | 00:01 |
| fyre|work | as nvidia's drivers come with very slick screen configuration. | 00:01 |

| chunda | fyre|work: yes, i can realize that. I've tried a lot of stuff | 00:01 |
| genii | !info airsnort gutsy | 00:01 |

| genii | ubuntu_: 1) Yes, really 2) Unfortunate The tool will only let you use resolutions which it senses through the xorg.conf file and detection of the monitor type are compatible together | 00:15 |
| sirjoebob | unop, either is fine but i really just need the wireless ones | 00:15 |

| genii | sirjoebob: If your wap has it, some can list the current list of machines which have an ip assigned by it. Usually in the web admin pages | 00:16 |
| ubuntu_ | genii: I know my actual ubuntu install lets me change the refresh rate to settings my monitor doesn't support, and that can cause real damage, I think it was an option in the alternate installer, but you said the xorg.conf file, could I change that to allow different resolutions? | 00:16 |
| genii | ubuntu_: Yes but use with caution | 00:16 |
| ubuntu_ | genii: where is the xord.conf located on the liveCD? | 00:17 |
| sirjoebob | unop, i think hat is what i needed, | 00:17 |

| krazy-h | can someone help me ? | 00:22 |
| Drk_Guy | extor: but that's a more kernel-specific question, i think your better off there | 00:22 |
| genii | ubuntu_: Thats the part which you will need to carefully consider since it can damage things. Look up the specs for your equipment and choose some safe settings | 00:23 |
| Drk_Guy | no offense though | 00:23 |
| tonohono | nach: As the terminal is set to use unicode, anything you type is in the unicode character encoding. | 00:23 |

| sirjoebob | ejsilver26, good day | 00:26 |

| Sydero | widescreen is defined by proportion | 00:28 |

| LoCaLMaChInE | sirjoe its ok I loved the movie too it was awesome | 00:29 |
| Sydero | you have linuxfce, depending on the apps you use | 00:29 |
| friedtofu | linuxfce: well as long as you're not hibernating, a 1 to 1 ratio would work. you can even put the swap to like 256 mb if your ram is like 2 gigs or you can just not use swap at all | 00:29 |

| linuxfce | and yes i used it for configuring nvidia reg dwords | 00:30 |
| linuxfce | but it no longer works | 00:31 |
| cata|nix | any ideas? | 00:31 |
| friedtofu | cata|nix eh... alt + ctrl + left or right - | 00:31 |
| Sydero | about? | 00:31 |
| Drk_Guy | linuxfce: I got your solution | 00:31 |
| cata|nix | i know that | 00:31 |
| cata|nix | lol | 00:31 |
| friedtofu | or. you can tweak it | 00:31 |
| ManOnOneWheel | hi! | 00:31 |
| ejsilver26 | Can you install 8.04 over 8.04 and not lose your data? Just currious. | 00:31 |
| integrand | what do I do if I don't wanna reboot after installing scim-something | 00:31 |
| ManOnOneWheel | any one ever use a handyboard microcontrollerZ | 00:31 |
| friedtofu | ejsilver26: you can if your /home is on a different partition | 00:31 |
| cata|nix | that doesn't work, and Ican't click on it in the panel, but I can zoom out and see them, but I can't go left or right to change them | 00:31 |
| Sydero | ej: you'll probably lose your settings | 00:32 |
| Fishscene | Hello | 00:32 |
| friedtofu | ejsilver26: you can also tar up your /home back it up, reinstall 8.04, then untar the /home partition back | 00:32 |
| ejsilver26 | Damned. I'm trying to fix my sound. It worked on the live CD (that's what I'm using now), but not after my upgrade from 7.10 to 8.04 (auto through synaptic). | 00:32 |
| genii | ceej: After you install whatever mod to apache2, you need to enable it by symlinking <it's-name> in /etc/apache2/mods-enabled to /etc/apache2/mods-available There are normally two of these <name>.load and <name>.conf Then you need restart of apache2 | 00:33 |
| LoCaLMaChInE | has anyone used a linux version of media center? | 00:33 |
| Fishscene | How would I find, partition/format, and then mount a hard drive via terminal? | 00:33 |
| genii | LoCaLMaChInE: Ask in #linuxmce please | 00:34 |
| Sydero | ntfs-config is probably the easiest way | 00:34 |
| LoCaLMaChInE | gotcha | 00:34 |
| ceej | genii: would you be able to give me an example of how to do that ? | 00:34 |
| cptr13 | can anyone tell me how to completely uninstall KDE? all the related packages without affecting gnome? | 00:34 |
| Sydero | sudo apt-get remove kde | 00:34 |
| Sydero | then sudo apt-get autoremove :P | 00:34 |
| Blaqlight | ejsilver26: please no swearing its a family oriented channel thanks. | 00:34 |
| Sydero | probably | 00:34 |
| cptr13 | that only removes kde....not all the associated packages.... | 00:35 |
| LoCaLMaChInE | cptr13 I am gonna do the same | 00:35 |
| Sydero | hence autoremove | 00:35 |
| trask | just installed eeexubuntu 7.10 on my eee 900, is it smart to stay at 7.10 or does it make sense to upgrade to 8.04 LRS? | 00:35 |
| ejsilver26 | Blaqlight: My apologies... Didn't think it was that bad. | 00:35 |
| cata|nix | so, friedtofu, any other suggestions? | 00:35 |
| Sydero | !eeepc | trask | 00:35 |
| kwadronaut | is it possible with nm-applet to switch hosts file according to the network you're on? | 00:35 |
| ubottu | trask: Information about installing Ubuntu on an Asus EeePC can be found at https://help.ubuntu.com/community/EeePC | 00:35 |
| Sydero | hmmm wrong thing | 00:36 |
| Sydero | anyways join #eeepc | 00:36 |
| cptr13 | anyone know how to completely remove kde? | 00:37 |
| Sydero | I told you | 00:37 |
| cata|nix | lol | 00:37 |
| Sydero | autoremove removes the rest | 00:37 |
| Blaqlight | !puregnome | cptr13 | 00:37 |
| ubottu | cptr13: If you want to remove all !KDE packages and have a default !Ubuntu system follow the instructions here << http://psychocats.net/ubuntu/puregnome >> | 00:37 |
| ManualOverDozer | is there any real difference from using iwconfig wlan0 up, or, ifup wlan0 ? | 00:37 |
| cptr13 | ahh ok thanks I'll try that | 00:37 |
| Fishscene | How would I find, partition/format, and then mount a hard drive via terminal? | 00:37 |
| ubuntu_ | in xorg.conf, which part identifys my monitor, the screen section or the monitor section? | 00:37 |
| alex-weej | ManualOverDozer: yes. use ifup. | 00:37 |
| Miesco | http://miesco.homelinux.org/~shawn/Screenshot01.png -- How come the fonts are not correct and its all messy? | 00:37 |
| ManualOverDozer | alex-weej: any particular reason ? | 00:38 |
| Blaqlight | cptr13: it works flawlessly. | 00:38 |
| alex-weej | ManualOverDozer: ifup will do things like actually configure the wireless connection via the settings in /etc/network/interfaces | 00:38 |
| Blaqlight | cptr13: Ive tried it myself :D | 00:38 |
| genii | ceej: eg: sudo ln -s /etc/apache2/mods-available/userdir.conf /etc/apache2/mods-enabled/userdir.conf; sudo ln -s /etc/apache2/mods-available/userdir.load /etc/apache2/mods-enabled/userdir.load; sudo /etc/init.d/apache2 restart | 00:38 |
| Sydero | Miesco: the link doesn't work | 00:38 |
| cptr13 | doing it now...looks great | 00:38 |
| Drk_Guy | lol | 00:38 |
| cptr13 | thanks so much | 00:38 |
| cptr13 | sorry I didn't catch that the firs time | 00:38 |
| Blaqlight | cptr13: :D | 00:38 |
| Dedi | my usb keyboard rarely stops working in X, but can switch to console and restart udev | 00:39 |
| ceej | genii: thank you, I'll give it a go | 00:39 |
| alex-weej | ceej: don't do that | 00:39 |
| alex-weej | ceej: use a2enmod instead | 00:39 |
| alex-weej | genii: ^^ | 00:39 |
| Fishscene | How does one find a newly-added internal drive while navigating the Terminal? | 00:39 |
| ceej | ooo how would i use that ? | 00:39 |
| ManualOverDozer | alex-weej: another question: how come when i do ifdown wlan0 when i open System/Administration/Netowkr it still shows as activated (checkbox checked) ? | 00:39 |
| alex-weej | ceej: like so: sudo a2enmod | 00:40 |
| trask | Sydero: didnt answer my question but a lot of others i had :P | 00:40 |
| alex-weej | ceej: and sudo a2dismod to disable a module | 00:40 |
| genii | ceej: You may want to follow alex-weej's advice. I am used to the manual method but the other way is likely more proper :) | 00:40 |
| lunartear | is it possible to setup automated ssh portforwarding through init.d/rc system with system keys rather than user based auth? | 00:40 |
| KenBW2 | I've installed Ubuntu to a flash memory stick as a persistent install. How long till it starts thrashing the drive too much? | 00:40 |
| alex-weej | ManualOverDozer: are you using Network Manager? | 00:40 |
| ceej | ok | 00:40 |
| ManualOverDozer | alex-weej: yes | 00:40 |
| genii | KenBW2: They are usually good for about 1000 read/write cycles | 00:41 |
| ManualOverDozer | alex-weej: i would rather use just command-line | 00:41 |
| alex-weej | ManualOverDozer: if you edit the connection in the network admin, do you have "Roaming Mode" enabled? | 00:41 |
| KenBW2 | genii: what does that mean in terms of hours? | 00:41 |
| ceej | alex-weej: i don't see mod_proxy there, would it be proxy_html? | 00:41 |
| Sydero | 2 hours :P | 00:41 |
| ManualOverDozer | alex-weej: no, i manually add the information | 00:41 |
| ceej | or proxy | 00:41 |
| genii | ceej: It's the userdir one | 00:41 |
| Fishscene | So no one knows how to mount a drive in terminal? | 00:41 |
| KenBW2 | Sydero: is that a joke? | 00:42 |
| ceej | ok ty | 00:42 |
| Sydero | possibly ;) | 00:42 |
| Sydero | Do u consider urself a man? If u do, then u just might b da man I need 4 da job. I am looking for a male jackoff partner to live with me during football season. Each time my fav team(NE Patriots) score, we jack eachother off. Each time Tom Brady throws a TD pass, we suck eachother off. Big dicks prefered. PLEASE SHOW ME A DICK PIC. No dick pic, I will ignore you. So let me know if ur da man i need 4 da job. | 00:42 |
| alex-weej | ManualOverDozer: so when you do ifconfig down, you're breaking Debian Networking's internal state i think | 00:42 |
| Sydero | hmmm interesting pm | 00:42 |
| KenBW2 | Fishscene: mount /dev/sdx /mount/point | 00:42 |
| ManualOverDozer | alex-weej: but i see a descrepency , iwconfig shows differnt. can i use just ifconfig/ifup soley and remove netowrk manager completely ? | 00:42 |
| genii | KenBW2: Varies wildly. If you have swap on it then maybe a couple months | 00:42 |
| Miesco | http://miesco.homelinux.org/~shawn/Screenshot01.png -- How come the fonts are not correct and its all messy? (should work now) | 00:42 |
| Fishscene | Ken, how do I know what drive it is? | 00:42 |
| Blaqlight | !language | 00:42 |
| Miesco | Sydero | 00:42 |
| ubottu | Please watch your language and topic to help keep this channel family friendly. | 00:42 |
| Sydero | k | 00:42 |
| KenBW2 | Sydero, genii: I've been getting "Input/Output errors" on files - is that it telling me it's dying? | 00:43 |
| alex-weej | ManualOverDozer: you may remove n-m completely but you should configure your devices in /etc/network/interfaces and use ifup / ifdown instead of ifconfig | 00:43 |
| ManualOverDozer | alex-weej: yes, i thought it was messing with it. can i safely remove Network Manager and run solely command-line connect ? | 00:43 |
| ManualOverDozer | alex-weej: thank you much | 00:43 |
| extor | Does anyone here use ubuntu server? If so how does it compare with debian? | 00:43 |
| ubuntu_ | genii: xorg.conf has me very confused, could you please tell me what to add to my xorg.conf to "support" 1280 x 800? | 00:43 |
| ceej | genii: did you say i had to reboot the server ? | 00:43 |
| Fishscene | So my question now is, How do I find an unmounted hard drive? | 00:43 |
| ManualOverDozer | MIRCBRAAD and Tortilla_Sam spamming me. mods please advise them, thank you in advance | 00:44 |
| KenBW2 | Fishscene: fdisk -l | 00:44 |
| alex-weej | ManualOverDozer: ifconfig only deals with one particular layer of the networking stuff i think | 00:44 |
| genii | KenBW2: Likely, yes. Although it can be it needs a fsck then option of "sync" on / mount to always write data when it is generated. Otherwise it caches and sends in bursts. This means if pulled out prematurely data is half read/write state on it | 00:44 |
| alex-weej | ManualOverDozer: in particular the link layer | 00:44 |
| genii | ceej: No reboot is neded | 00:44 |
| sjovan | Fishscene: all your devices are in /dev/ internal hd start's with sd | 00:44 |
| genii | ceej: Just: sudo /etc/init.d/apache2 restart | 00:44 |
| KenBW2 | genii: well i've only just (re)installed it and on 2nd boot it's giving these eroors | 00:44 |
| ceej | genii: i restarted apache and i still get the error Invalid command 'ProxyPass', perhaps misspelled or defined by a module not included in the server configuration | 00:44 |
| alex-weej | ManualOverDozer: for ethernet, you need to e.g. run dhclient in order to get an IP address automatically | 00:45 |
| ManualOverDozer | alex-weej: i have run into NetManager messing with my connection before, and i thought it was because i was doing command-line. i dont like NetManager anyhow, so it is toast | 00:45 |
| alex-weej | ManualOverDozer: whereas ifup/ifdown will do all that automatically | 00:45 |
| ManualOverDozer | alex-weej: yes, they seem like they fighting each other | 00:45 |
| Miesco | Sydero: See it? | 00:45 |
| Sydero | yeah | 00:45 |
| linuxfce | whats with all the spam bots in here? | 00:45 |
| alex-weej | ManualOverDozer: network-mangler deals with a very specific usecase. don't look back if you don't need it. | 00:45 |
| Sydero | maybe it's just a theme problem | 00:45 |
| Sydero | not sure | 00:45 |
| Miesco | Sydero: It uses fltk, does that happen on your ubuntu? | 00:45 |
| Fishscene | slight problem with browsing the dev directory. There's so many devices that my screen is filled and I can't read any sdx devices | 00:46 |
| Blaqlight | anyone know how to stop unsolicited PM's in irssi/weechat? | 00:46 |
| ManualOverDozer | NetManager, you had your chance, bye bye :) | 00:46 |
| meeowzers_ | I am getting a bad superblock when inserting my SD card into my ubuntu box | 00:46 |
| Miesco | Sydero: Themes only affect gtk..., its fltk | 00:46 |
| meeowzers_ | yet it works fine with Sabayon | 00:46 |
| ManualOverDozer | alex-weej: thank you | 00:46 |
| KenBW2 | Fishscene: have a look at gparted. you can tell from the size which is which | 00:46 |
| genii | ceej: Sounds like instead an auth module you may require | 00:46 |
| KenBW2 | genii: so would you not recommend using a memory stick as a portable Ubuntu? | 00:46 |
| Fishscene | is gparted a GUI program? | 00:46 |
| Starnestommy | Fishscene: yes | 00:46 |
| Fishscene | I'm using Ubuntu 8 Server | 00:46 |
| KenBW2 | genii: due to the limited life | 00:46 |
| genii | KenBW2: I would recommend against it, yes | 00:47 |
| ceej | genii: im trying to do http://mdp.cti.depaul.edu/AlterEgo/default/show/17 | 00:47 |
| KenBW2 | genii: eugh, i got sick of Vista and it's not my PC :( | 00:47 |
| Blaqlight | !gparted | Fishscene | 00:47 |
| BuZuKi | i have a s3 via 3d card , i installed the ubuntu , i have problem with 3d | 00:47 |
| ubottu | Fishscene: gparted is a !GUI partitioning program. Type « sudo apt-get install gparted » in a console to install it - A GParted "live" CD is available at http://gparted.sourceforge.net/livecd.php | 00:47 |
| genii | ceej: OK, looking there for clues what module it may want | 00:47 |
| ceej | genii: ty | 00:47 |
| Fishscene | Installing a GUI on Ubuntu server is not an option for me =( | 00:47 |
| KenBW2 | Fishscene: what about sudo apt-get install ubuntu-desktop ? | 00:48 |
| Sydero | :D | 00:48 |
| ubuntu_ | what would I add to xorg.conf to allow "Monitor Resolution Tool" to change resolution to 1280 x 800? | 00:48 |
| Fishscene | Ken, It's not so much an impossibility as it is additional overhead and not acceptable to my superiors | 00:48 |
| Sydero | use something like ion KenBW2 ;) | 00:48 |
| extor | Does iptables have it's own place in /proc/net? I thought iptables was just a tool to alter netfilter which is the real talker to the kernel? | 00:48 |
| justs0me | i installed SELinux on kubuntu and at shutdown, it will say "mount: can't find /selinux in /etc/fstab or /etc/mtab" what is wrong? | 00:48 |
| KenBW2 | Sydero: ion? | 00:48 |
| alex-weej | ubuntu_: what graphics hardware are you on? you shouldn't need anything at all. | 00:49 |
| Sydero | it's a minimal de | 00:49 |
| Fishscene | I appreciate the help though guys :) | 00:49 |
| Sydero | that allows multiple windows | 00:49 |
| KenBW2 | Fishscene: ah. well doesnt fdisk -l show the sizes to you? | 00:49 |
| Drk_Guy | Does ubuntu restrict overclocking nvidia cards? | 00:49 |
| genii | ceej: The "mod_wsgi" it speaks of seems to not be available in standard ubuntu list of apache2 modules | 00:49 |
| ubuntu_ | alex-weej: a laptop, running off a live CD, I need to get it nice looking so my mom will install it. | 00:49 |
| Fishscene | fdisk -l doesn't seem to do anything | 00:49 |
| KenBW2 | Sydero: how do you mean? | 00:49 |
| amenado | Fishscene-> you can certainly use parted in the command line | 00:49 |
| ceej | genii: I'm using mod_proxy not mod_wsgi | 00:49 |
| KenBW2 | Fishscene: it should list all plugged in devices | 00:49 |
| ceej | genii: you can use either or | 00:49 |
| Fishscene | oops! hold on | 00:50 |
| Fishscene | I didn't run fdisk with sudo. just a sec | 00:50 |
| samasutra | hallo | 00:50 |
| KenBW2 | ubuntu_: gnome-look.org | 00:50 |
| samasutra | does anyone know about SCIM ? | 00:50 |
| Sydero | ion is like Fvwm, PWM3, ratpoison | 00:50 |
| Blaqlight | !SCIM > samasutra | 00:50 |
| ubottu | samasutra, please see my private message | 00:50 |
| Sydero | it's a window manager | 00:51 |
| Sydero | and not really a de | 00:51 |
| ubuntu_ | KenBW2: I need it to be in a readable resolution before I add that | 00:51 |
| KenBW2 | Sydero: oh you mean for Fishscene's problem | 00:51 |
| Sydero | I forget :( | 00:51 |
| KenBW2 | ubuntu_: oh it's screwed up? | 00:51 |
| amenado | extor what are you looking for in /proc/net ? | 00:51 |
| Sydero | ubuntu_ you don't enter resolutions into xorg.conf | 00:51 |
| Sydero | well you don't need to | 00:51 |
| Sydero | for ubuntu | 00:51 |
| ubuntu_ | KenBW2: Won't let me set it higher than 800x600 | 00:51 |
| ubuntu_ | Sydero: then how do I do it? | 00:52 |
| extor | amenado, for whatever is there | 00:52 |
| Sydero | somehow you don't have the right drivers | 00:52 |
| daggerx | can some1 help me with a error message in virtualbox, trying to get it running | 00:52 |
| KenBW2 | Sydero: eugh, but Vista is sooo annoying. I thught i'd sorted it with the memory stick, till it thrashed it :( | 00:52 |
| amenado | extor rephrase the problem please | 00:52 |
| Sydero | I meant using ion just as something nice on your server | 00:52 |
| KenBW2 | ubuntu_: do you anything about xorg.conf? | 00:52 |
| alex-weej | ubuntu_: please file a bug report | 00:52 |
| Elliott | im having trouble with a new install of ubuntu getting my ati radeon 9000 card to work. Im kinda a noob :-) | 00:52 |
| ubuntu_ | KenBW2: I don't really know anything about it, but I have it open. | 00:53 |
| KenBW2 | ubuntu_: hmm, me niether | 00:53 |
| Drk_Guy | Elliott: gksu jockey-gtk should help you | 00:53 |
| Elliott | cool | 00:53 |
| KenBW2 | ubuntu_: have you made sure you have all the graphics drivers enabled? | 00:53 |
| ubuntu_ | Sydero: I just need xorg.conf to fix it until I can stop using a liveCD, then I might go driver hunting. | 00:53 |
| Sydero | KenBW2: I was suggesting ion to you, so that you can have more than one window open at a time | 00:54 |
| Sydero | to monitor things | 00:54 |
| Sydero | easily | 00:54 |
| extor | amenado, the problem was jsut that I was looking for the most resource efficient method of shaping traffic--ie throttling traffic based on IP address. So I was poking around in /proc/net to see what it is that the kernel itself prefers to be used | 00:54 |
| Fishscene | Hot Dog! We're making progress. :) Now, how would I format this drive? /dev/sdb | 00:54 |
| KenBW2 | Sydero: ah, you mean in Vista? | 00:54 |
| Sydero | no | 00:54 |
| Sydero | for your server | 00:54 |
| ubuntu_ | KenBW2: Don't think so, but it hasn't prompted me to do anything, I'll see what happens if I try to enable desktop effects. | 00:54 |
| KenBW2 | Sydero: i think you have me confused with someone else | 00:54 |
| Elliott | hmm, the trouble is that nothing sows up the drivers window | 00:55 |
| Sydero | :S | 00:55 |
| Sydero | k | 00:55 |
| KenBW2 | Sydero: im the one with the thrashed memory stick | 00:55 |
| Sydero | oh | 00:55 |
| Sydero | well don't use it anymore :P | 00:55 |
| KenBW2 | Sydero: indeed :P | 00:56 |
| amenado | extor, am still struggling how to use tc, sorry bud cant help you much on traffic shaping | 00:56 |
| ubuntu_ | KenBW2: could not enable desktop effects. "Darn" | 00:56 |
| KenBW2 | Sydero: wonder if the PC's owner will notice a few GB's going missing :P | 00:56 |
| Elliott | i tried installing the open source driver but it didnt work. Im mainly trying to get the visual effects to work | 00:56 |
| KenBW2 | ubuntu_: go to System > Admin > Restricted Drivers or something | 00:56 |
| Sydero | http://www.google.ca/search?hl=en&q=traffic+shaping+ubuntu | 00:56 |
| genii | ceej: I think you might want libapache2-mod-python so your python scripts will run in apache | 00:56 |
| LanceMartin | Hello | 00:57 |
| newk | any one here use gnomedo app wit the google maps plugin? | 00:57 |
| ubuntu_ | Sydero: Do you know what I should add to xorg.conf to change it? | 00:57 |
| Sydero | no | 00:57 |
| ceej | genii: I know mod_proxy is what i need...is there no apt-get for that ? | 00:57 |
| Sydero | sorry | 00:57 |
| dolphin_noel | inst it supost i /etc/passwd /bin/false to the root and ... there is no possibility from identiy with sudo ?! to join root?! | 00:57 |
| extor | amenado, tc is just a wrapper that works on netfilter, correct? | 00:57 |
| ubuntu_ | KenBW2: I don't think thats an option on a liveCD, I can't seem to see it | 00:57 |
| ceej | genii: because web2py runs as its own server then i use ProxyPass to point to that server | 00:58 |
| LobbyZ | Hi, entering passwords after bringing up Sudo in the terminal console won't work | 00:58 |
| KenBW2 | ubuntu_: probably means you dont need to use any | 00:58 |
| KenBW2 | ubuntu_: how old is your PC? | 00:58 |
| unop | LobbyZ, what do you mean? | 00:59 |
| ubuntu_ | KenBW2: its a new laptop, but again, its running off a liveCD, so I think things might be different | 00:59 |
| amenado | extor am not too sure | 00:59 |
| KenBW2 | ubuntu_: usually works even in liveCD mode | 00:59 |
| extor | amenado, it works on the kernel level, right? | 00:59 |
| amenado | dolphin_noel-> the /bin/false entry on /etc/passwd prevent a user from logging in | 01:00 |
| LobbyZ | well i'm trying out this; https://help.ubuntu.com/8.04/switching/dualboot-custom.html and after doing a sudo (sudo cp menu.lst menu_backup.lst) etc then it requests a password for my useraccount and when i try to enter it it won't type | 01:00 |
| amenado | extor yes at that level | 01:00 |
| ubuntu_ | anyone here know what I would need to add to xorg.conf for the monitor resolution tool to let me set my resolution to 1280x800, even if I doesn't think it supports it? | 01:00 |
| unop | dolphin_noel, you don't want to change root's shell to /bin/false tho | 01:00 |
| Sydero | ubuntu_: I don't think you can force it | 01:00 |
| Odd-rationale | LobbyZ: you wont see anything appear. that is ok. just type it nyways. | 01:00 |
| LobbyZ | oh ok | 01:00 |
| dolphin_noel | amenado so why ... i can log whith sudo ?! | 01:00 |
| Odd-rationale | LobbyZ: it is for security... | 01:00 |
| unop | LobbyZ, sudo does not echo any characters back to the screen | 01:00 |
| KenBW2 | ubuntu_: i cant remember exactly the syntax but theres an app called xrandr | 01:00 |
| ubuntu_ | Sydero, someone told me that you can use xorg.conf to do it | 01:01 |
| LobbyZ | ah ok | 01:01 |
| LobbyZ | Thanks for the help | 01:01 |
| amenado | dolphin_noel-> you can sudo from lets say user1 to user2 ? | 01:01 |
| Sydero | Has anyone here successfully ran selinux? | 01:01 |
| Sydero | on ubuntu | 01:01 |
| tlove | I love you guys so much. | 01:01 |
| amenado | dolphin_noel-> i dont think so | 01:01 |
| LobbyZ | ah it worked, thanks alot | 01:02 |
| dolphin_noel | amenado and where i can block this?! to disable admins acounts?! | 01:02 |
| LobbyZ | BYe | 01:02 |
| amenado | dolphin_noel-> you are all over, you have not answered my question | 01:02 |
| dolphin_noel | amenado i try to put /bin/false and keeps makes me login to the root:x | 01:02 |
| dolphin_noel | amenado yes i can ... from the acount that i have admin ... acess to the root | 01:02 |
| dolphin_noel | to use the sudo | 01:02 |
| genii | ceej: ls /etc/apache2/mods-available/ has some which could be applicable | 01:02 |
| amenado | dolphin_noel-> am confused...you want to sudo from user1 to user2 ? | 01:03 |
| aubade | How do you flush the DNS cache in Ubuntu since it doesn't have a specific service like nscd? | 01:03 |
| unop | dolphin_noel, if you want to prevent users from becomming root through sudo - remove their capability from /etc/sudoers | 01:03 |
| dolphin_noel | amenado no i just think that if i put in /etc/passwd /bin/false in the user root >>> i willbe able to not can login or use the sudo ... | 01:03 |
| dolphin_noel | and the root acount will be disabled ... and only can be used if the kernel run in ... recovery | 01:04 |
| diego_ | oh | 01:04 |
| diego_ | could anyone help me? | 01:04 |
| dolphin_noel | to i only use the acount to put the updates nathing more | 01:04 |
| KenBW2 | ubuntu_: still there? | 01:04 |
| amenado | dolphin_noel-> i would not do it myself, dont know what the side effects will be, and if you really need to get into root, you're SOL | 01:04 |
| diego_ | trying to use cedega | 01:04 |
| unop | dolphin_noel, how are you becomming root here? | 01:04 |
| ubuntu_ | KenBW2: hmm, xrandr doesn't let me change it. Yes, i'm still here | 01:04 |
| Odd-rationale | !cedega | 01:04 |
| ubottu | cedega is a project based on WINE, aimed at running Windows games on Linux. For more info, see http://help.ubuntu.com/community/Cedega | 01:04 |
| dolphin_noel | amenado i allready try and dont work that why ... im asking ... lol | 01:05 |
| diego_ | but nope | 01:05 |
| KenBW2 | what i have set up is 'xradr -s 1024x768' | 01:05 |
| dolphin_noel | if there is not supost the root be disabled to?! | 01:05 |
| diego_ | I've already installed cedega | 01:05 |
| KenBW2 | ubuntu_: what i have set up is 'xrandr -s 1024x768' | 01:05 |
| amenado | dolphin_noel-> we have advised you not to do it like that, just remove entries in /etc/sudoers file | 01:05 |
| Odd-rationale | diego_: i beleive there is a #cedega channel... they might be able to help you better... | 01:05 |
| diego_ | yep | 01:05 |
| diego_ | my problem | 01:05 |
| ubuntu_ | KenBW2: Not found in available modes. | 01:05 |
| dolphin_noel | amenado maby the acount is disabled just the sudo not ... | 01:05 |
| ubuntu_ | :( | 01:05 |
| diego_ | is that a game doesn't run with cedega | 01:06 |
| unop | dolphin_noel, root is not actually disabled -- it's just locked - meaning you cannot directly log on as root | 01:06 |
| amenado | dolphin_noel-> as per unop said.. | 01:06 |
| dolphin_noel | unop so i cannost direct log asroot but i can use sudo is this?! | 01:06 |
| Dominoes | Hey, I have a question | 01:06 |
| billy | hey i have ubuntu 5.1 and i have a 8. what ever cd can i upgrade with out booting from cd | 01:06 |
| unop | dolphin_noel, correct | 01:06 |
| dolphin_noel | ohh ok tes i understand thank you very much :) | 01:06 |
| KenBW2 | ubuntu_: i think it has to be in xorg.conf already | 01:06 |
| w33d5 | i'm doing my first server install and i wanted to set up software raid 0 array....is there a terminal/gui partition editor i could use for this? | 01:06 |
| Dominoes | it's been bugging me since I first used Ubuntu years ago: What the fuck does mouse "sensitivity" do? | 01:06 |
| w33d5 | i'm sure to the desktop version | 01:06 |
| Dominoes | since acceleration changes the sensitivity | 01:07 |
| dolphin_noel | unop amenado so what advice you can give to me to i can disabled and enable one admin acount when i need it?! | 01:07 |
| unop | !language | Dominoes | 01:07 |
| ubottu | Dominoes: Please watch your language and topic to help keep this channel family friendly. | 01:07 |
| ubuntu_ | KenBW2: which is why i've been asking how to add it. >.< | 01:07 |
| Dominoes | seriously :/ | 01:07 |
| amenado | dolphin_noel-> via sudoers file | 01:07 |
| unop | dolphin_noel, by default -- only the first user can use sudo (is part of the admin group) | 01:07 |
| KenBW2 | ubuntu_: yea, sorry - sending you in circles | 01:07 |
| dolphin_noel | amenado recover system and make one user admin and after that disabled it?! | 01:07 |
| unop | dolphin_noel, any other users you create cannot use sudo | 01:07 |
| unop | dolphin_noel, unless off course you put them also in the admin group | 01:08 |
| ubuntu_ | KenBW2: don't worry, its not your fault. My problem is a little bit out there. | 01:08 |
| dolphin_noel | amenado unop ok thank you very much :) | 01:08 |
| billy | hey if ubuntu is based on debian can i use the debian wine | 01:08 |
| amenado | dolphin_noel-> it is not necessary to turn on and off a specific user ability to sudo..just leave one user..thats it | 01:08 |
| Sydero | I wouldn't billy | 01:08 |
| KenBW2 | I'm sick of Vista, and using someone else's PC. Anyone know a reliable way to use an persistent install of Ubuntu on a drive that wont die after a day? | 01:09 |
| Sydero | just install it from apt-get | 01:09 |
| Flannel | billy: No, but wine is in the repos. | 01:09 |
| Xhtml_boys | hello | 01:09 |
| Sydero | you could use a harddrive KenBW2 :P | 01:09 |
| unop | billy, not really -- the packages from debian's repo might not be binary compatible with ubuntu | 01:09 |
| billy | well i have a older ubuntu versoin and cant find a older wine | 01:09 |
| KenBW2 | Sydero: i dont have one lying around :P | 01:09 |
| amenado | KenBW2-> yeah get a drive or use another partition within your hd.. | 01:09 |
| Blaqlight | KenBW2: ubuntu will install on a usb drive. | 01:09 |
| Sydero | buy a usb harddrive | 01:09 |
| Xhtml_boys | Hello | 01:10 |
| oystein | hello all! i got a question about usb modems and wvdial. cant really figure out how to use the gnome-ppp app with my current isp subscription, so using couple of "handmade" scripts. however the script to connect is pretty basic and if i wont to disconnect i have to hit ctrl-c, but if i just close terminal window i still will be connected | 01:10 |
| unop | billy, i believe wine.org has an ubuntu repository - you might find newer versions of wine in it | 01:10 |
| ui78 | I am trying to install new software from Ubuntu running inside vmware and it cant do that, it says "authenticating the upgrade failed, there might be a problem with the connection or the server?" | 01:10 |
| KenBW2 | Blaqlight: i did that - its killed it with too many read/writes | 01:10 |
| ubuntu_ | KenBW2: w00t, I just found out how to do it from wikipedia | 01:10 |
| Flannel | billy: wine is in universe, you'll need to enable universe. Also, if that version isn't satisfactory, winehq has a repository for Ubuntu (all supported versions) | 01:10 |
| amenado | KenBW2-> i'd love to sell you my 3.2 gig drive :P | 01:10 |
| billy | i need a older versoin | 01:10 |
| KenBW2 | ubuntu_: the fount of all knowledge :D | 01:10 |
| Sydero | KenBW2: use a usb harddrive ;) | 01:10 |
| unop | billy, which version? | 01:10 |
| KenBW2 | amenado: not very portable :( | 01:10 |
| oystein | i made a gksudo killall wvdial application launcher, will that disconnect the usbmodem or just mess up+ | 01:10 |
| Blaqlight | !wine | billy | 01:10 |
| ubottu | billy: 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. | 01:10 |
| oystein | ? | 01:10 |
| KenBW2 | Sydero: not very portable :( | 01:10 |
| bluelight | i remember in the old days, spread sheet runs on DOS user interface, is there a spread sheet program that runs in command line? no-gui, terminal ssh version | 01:10 |
| dolphin_noel | amenado one user one crack ... one passsword ... one access lol | 01:10 |
| billy | i have ubuntu 5.1 | 01:10 |
| Sp0tter | Why does a guided LVM put all the available space in the / partition? You can't shrink that while its up, so then whats the pointin the LVM? | 01:10 |
| Sydero | KenBW2: you could use a live cd + usb flash drive | 01:10 |
| KenBW2 | Sydero: how would that work? | 01:11 |
| Flannel | billy: You really should upgrade to 6.06, 5.10 isn't recieving any security updates. | 01:11 |
| Sydero | save all your personal files to the drive :P | 01:11 |
| KenBW2 | Sydero: yea but apps, configs etc | 01:11 |
| billy | well this is tempary | 01:11 |
| Blaqlight | yeah KenBW2 thats what I meant, usb flash drive lol | 01:11 |
| amenado | dolphin_noel-> do not forget a root is a user too..so your statement applies | 01:11 |
| Odd-rationale | bluelight: i think the name is oleo.. | 01:11 |
| Sydero | I thought linux had a filesystem designed for flash drives | 01:11 |
| KenBW2 | Blaqlight: you mean as Sydero is suggesting? | 01:11 |
| KenBW2 | Sydero: it does?! | 01:11 |
| Blaqlight | KenBW2: yes | 01:11 |
| Sydero | I thought so | 01:12 |
| sisto | do you know how to change the speed at which the window list pulsates to notify me of something? | 01:12 |
| Odd-rationale | !info oleo | 01:12 |

| ui78 | I am trying to install new software from Ubuntu running inside vmware and it cant do that, it says "authenticating the upgrade failed, there might be a problem with the connection or the server?" | 01:12 |
| Odd-rationale | bluelight: ^ | 01:12 |
| Sydero | don't authenticate ;) | 01:12 |
| dolphin_noel | amenado right ... :) lol | 01:12 |
| ubuntu_ | KenBW2: time to reset x and see if this works. | 01:12 |
| w33d5 | i'm doing my first server install and i wanted to set up software raid 0 array....is there a terminal/gui partition editor i could use for this? | 01:12 |
| KenBW2 | Sydero: the tutorial i used suggested ext2 | 01:12 |
| Sydero | hmmm | 01:12 |
| billy | kool i found wine for 5.1 :) | 01:12 |
| unop | !info sc > bluelight, | 01:13 |

| KenBW2 | Sydero: i could ask nicely :P | 01:13 |
| Sydero | hmmm | 01:13 |
| KenBW2 | Sydero: if he'll et me install it i mean | 01:13 |
| diego_ | coul anyone help me with cedega? No one in the cedega channel wants to help me | 01:13 |
| Blaqlight | unop: I figured out how to set the background in fluxbox fbsetbg however it doesn't stay through logouts. | 01:13 |
| w33d5 | what are apps like pice and pine considered? are they gui's ? | 01:13 |
| Sydero | no | 01:14 |
| w33d5 | PICO not pice | 01:14 |
| billy | in a minute will some one guide this linux noob threw a proper wine instal | 01:14 |
| Sydero | pine is a mail client | 01:14 |
| Odd-rationale | Blaqlight: add the line to you ~/.fluxbox/startup file | 01:14 |
| Sydero | pico is a text editor | 01:14 |
| dolphin_noel | amenado that why i was thinking using /bin/false to lol | 01:14 |
| Flannel | w33d5: No, they're console apps. (pico and pine are actually nano and mutt in Ubuntu, as the former two aren't free) | 01:14 |
| === _Kagee is now known as Kagee | ||
| unop | Blaqlight, have you placed the command in your startup file? | 01:14 |
| Sydero | neither are guis | 01:14 |
| Blaqlight | Odd-rationale, unop I did. | 01:14 |
| ubuntu_ | KenBW2: nope, didn't work, xrandr still doesn't let me switch modes. :( | 01:14 |
| KenBW2 | ubuntu_: what GUIs have you tried to use? | 01:14 |
| unop | Blaqlight, does it execute successfully on logon ? | 01:14 |
| Blaqlight | unop: no I have to manually set it every login. | 01:15 |
| w33d5 | Flannel i want to search for a terminal app to edit partitions like pico | 01:15 |
| w33d5 | wondering how to search | 01:15 |
| unop | Blaqlight, there might be some error in your syntax then? what's the exact command you used? | 01:15 |
| Sydero | errr | 01:15 |
| ubuntu_ | KenBW2: just gnome. I don't really want to install KDE into my ram. | 01:15 |
| Sydero | pico is just a text editor | 01:15 |
| PreZ | ok, this is annoying. I'm on a 32-bit box, but Linux is only detecing 2.8gb ram, regardless of having 3g or 4g in the box. The BIOS detects the full 4g! | 01:15 |
| dolphin_noel | amenado i watch one thing starnge here today i gedit one file whith sudo ... and then put my flash usb and catch gedit one file ... apointments ... nathing special and .. the gedit it goes to the root ... gedit and notopen another gedit ... | 01:15 |
| PreZ | I've seen stuff about seeing only 3.2 or 3.5g, but nothing about 2.8g | 01:15 |
| unop | Blaqlight, or actually, if you can pastebin your startup file, that'd be great | 01:15 |
| KenBW2 | ubuntu_: no i mean which apps? | 01:15 |
| Flannel | w33d5: An ncurses partition editor? try parted | 01:15 |
| Sydero | PreZ, it's 4 GB system max | 01:15 |
| dolphin_noel | amenado so it give some error ... | 01:15 |
| Sydero | not just ram | 01:15 |
| Blaqlight | fbsetbg -f /home/john/Desktop... | 01:16 |
| ubuntu_ | KenBW2: hmm? which apps for what? | 01:16 |
| dolphin_noel | amenado makes me think thta the other acount was using the same software ... | 01:16 |
| Sydero | Prez: you must have a giant video card or something | 01:16 |
| PreZ | I got a 512mb vid card | 01:16 |
| PreZ | but even so | 01:16 |
| KenBW2 | ubuntu_: as in in System > Administration | 01:16 |
| sisto | does somebody know how to change the way the window-list applet notifies a window changed it's content? I want to change the speed it flashes | 01:16 |
| billy | i have a 400 in this machine and when i had windows on it i overclocked it more than a 7600 | 01:16 |
| tanner | what command can i use to check which dns server i'm using | 01:16 |
| unop | Blaqlight, that sounds good - but whether or not it executes properly depends on where in the startup file you placed it? which is why i asked to see the startup file. | 01:16 |
| unop | tanner, dig or nslookup | 01:17 |
| ubuntu_ | KenBW2: I'm trying to use System->Preferences->Resolution to change my screen resolution. | 01:17 |
| dolphin_noel | amenado like runnig the file flash usb in the gedit that sudo was using ... strange ... :x | 01:17 |
| tanner | unop: i need to know which dns server im using, i dont need to perform a lookup | 01:17 |
| Blaqlight | unop: ok. give me a few minutes. | 01:17 |
| genii | tanner: cat /etc/resolv.conf also works | 01:17 |
| KenBW2 | ubuntu_: Hardy i assume? | 01:17 |
| ubuntu_ | yes | 01:17 |
| Odd-rationale | tanner: cat /etc/resolve.con | 01:17 |
| unop | tanner, open nslookup .. and issue the server command to it | 01:17 |
| bluelight | unop, that's KICK ASS !! man | 01:17 |
| Odd-rationale | f | 01:18 |
| KenBW2 | ubuntu_: Applications > Others > Screen Resolution | 01:18 |
| tanner | i see it now, thank you unop | 01:18 |
| ubuntu_ | KenBW2: I don't see others... | 01:18 |
| KenBW2 | ubuntu_: oh yea its hidden by default | 01:18 |
| unop | tanner, or if you simply issue dig. you'll see it lists which server it is using | 01:19 |
| ubuntu_ | KenBW2: thought so, i'm adding it | 01:19 |
| billy | any one heard of alinux | 01:19 |
| unop | bluelight, you mean sc? | 01:19 |
| ubuntu_ | KenBW2: It won't stay selected. >.< | 01:19 |
| ui78 | where can I get the livecd ? I installed from my livecd to my vmware it doesnt install | 01:19 |
| bluelight | unop, i have gutsy, it also in repository. idon't need hardy version | 01:20 |

| Sydero | Is it possible to sync a windows mobile device in ubuntu? | 01:20 |
| ubuntu_ | KenBW2: Still doesn't let me change it higher. | 01:21 |
| bluelight | unop, i suppose i can export this to text format or ms excel.... | 01:21 |
| PreZ | anyway - even with a 512mb vid. card, and even if it IS 4gb total, 4gb ram - 512mb vid. ram still = 3.5gb ram, not 2.8gb | 01:21 |
| unop | Blaqlight, yea, as i suspected -- fbsetbg is called before fluxbox is invoked .. let me show you an excerpt of mine | 01:21 |
| KenBW2 | ubuntu_: what happens when you try? | 01:21 |
| Sydero | yeah but there's virtual memory in that equation | 01:21 |
| Sydero | like swap | 01:21 |
| ubuntu_ | KenBW2: Its not an option to change the resolution too. | 01:22 |
| PreZ | uh, WTF? since when did swap count? | 01:22 |
| PreZ | its got 6g swap, and thats all detected | 01:22 |
| Sydero | well in windows the pagefile couts :P | 01:22 |
| Sydero | counts* | 01:22 |
| Sydero | hmmm | 01:22 |
| Blaqlight | unop: ok but thats how the file came in fluxbox. I didn't change any of the positions of any of the commands. | 01:22 |
| ubuntu_ | Off topic: I have 14-16 GB of swap | 01:22 |
| PreZ | Linux != Winows ;P | 01:22 |

| KenBW2 | ubuntu_: tried changing the Monitor field? | 01:23 |
| PreZ | So no ideas as to why it only detects 2.8gb of my 3 or 4gb ram then? | 01:23 |
| ubuntu_ | KenBW2: you mean the Model field? | 01:23 |
| billy | can i upgrade from 5.10 to 8.what ever if i have the 8.04 cd whithout booting from cd | 01:23 |
| MrWizeGuy1983 | if microsoft made jumbo jets, the population of the earth would be down in the thousands by now | 01:23 |
| Blaqlight | unop: I figured if it came that way I shouldn't change where they are in the file, shame on them for sending out into the world that way. | 01:24 |
| KenBW2 | ubuntu_: indeed i do | 01:24 |
| bluelight | Odd-rationale, oleo is gui only or command line too? | 01:24 |

| LibertyShadow | Currently running 82C core temp no fans. | 01:43 |
| unop | diegom_, ubuntu's desktop effects might not require all the capabilities the game does | 01:43 |

| justs0me | for gnome how do i access samba shares? | 01:44 |
| magikid | @w33d5 well, in that case, there's always parted | 01:44 |

| magikid | @w33d5 Sorry I couldn't help more | 01:46 |
| unop | LibertyShadow, i would say it is normal as the GPU has to work harder to process information when you run glxgears. though you might want to consult the manual for that particular card to see what temperature range it safely operates in | 01:46 |

| unop | synapse4956, making a startup script and placing it in /etc/init.d does not automatically make it run when you enter a runlevel .. you need to enable that script for the runlevel you usually work in (by default is it 2) .. have you enabled the script in runlevel 2? | 01:47 |

| xml333 | hello i've installed xubuntu 8.04 hardy and i need to find the power manager. the daemon initiates when i log in but, i can't have access to it to modify the power off time of the screen and i don't know how to call it from the terminal. | 02:25 |

| russ | xml33 system->preferences->power management | 02:26 |
| Blaqlight | russ: thats not applcable for xfce | 02:27 |
| unop | Blaqlight, you could have a deferred command set fbsetbg to run a few moments after you logon - say 10 seconds, which should be after the them has applied the wallpaper. | 02:27 |
| xml333 | russ | 02:28 |
| unop | synapse4956, heh. /usr/bin/deluged -d -p 58846 &> /var/log/deluged.log # sounds to me like this starts the daemon | 02:28 |
| xml333 | russ not system--preferences | 02:28 |
| leshnix | im running hardy and firefox 3.0.1. i'm experiencing a lot of lag with firefox, when i run 'top' it shows Xorg at 99% cpu or higher | 02:28 |
| xml333 | is Xfce, not gnome | 02:28 |
| unop | synapse4956, that was from the same page you are looking at there | 02:28 |
| Kattman | Help, Grub doesn't find Puppy | 02:28 |
| leshnix | any guidance on how to start troubleshooting that? | 02:28 |

| Blaqlight | unop: after exec fluxbox? | 02:30 |
| russ | So ... this should be n easy one: How can I find out which device on my system is referred to by "sdb1"? | 02:31 |
| JoneYee | well, ran into a snag on my script, so finally formatting my ntfs volume to ext3. One question, once that's done can the space be combined (merge partitions) using qtparted? | 02:31 |
| unop | Blaqlight, if you have a wait command waiting on the fluxbox PID. yes | 02:31 |
| Sydero | fdisk -l maybe | 02:31 |
| Sydero | and base it by size | 02:31 |
| gOETTLE | Is there a free alternative to Nero for Linux? | 02:32 |

| gOETTLE | Ok. I will try them. | 02:32 |
| Sydero | What features are you looking for? | 02:33 |
| russ | gOETTLE Brasero should come with ubuntu 8.04 | 02:33 |
| Sydero | depending on your DE | 02:33 |
| anachoret | ZStar: http://www.ubuntu.com/getubuntu/upgrading | 02:34 |
| Sydero | Can't you just apt-get upgrade :P | 02:34 |
| Sydero | or apt-get dist-upgrade | 02:34 |
| CShadowRun | can anyone help me? my TCL/TK version is 8.3, even though i have 8.5 installed with synaptic. | 02:36 |
| ZStar | thanks anachoret | 02:36 |
| classv0id | Can anyone help, I'm having some mad problems with ubuntu grub working | 02:36 |
| gkl7 | yay im using irc like all the cool people now! | 02:36 |
| classv0id | getting error 13, or error 17, and the chrooted partition says it can't read proc/partitions etc. | 02:36 |
| CShadowRun | gkl7 xD | 02:36 |
| ManualOverDozer8 | :) | 02:37 |
| classv0id | is it the new uuid thing? | 02:37 |
| DrRealHouse | classv0id: Is it that your computer does not boot after the lastest update? | 02:37 |
| CShadowRun | Can anyone help me? I'm trying to use amsn but it says i have TK 8.3.5 - but i have 8.5 installed in synaptic. | 02:37 |
| classv0id | I just installed it actually and grub won't work right - it doesn't find any partitions | 02:37 |
| classv0id | I think anyway | 02:37 |
| classv0id | and I tried chrooting into the system and it won't load the drives in the device list or anything so maybe it was install problem with the partition map or something | 02:38 |
| russ | I'm having troubles waking up my machine after it goes to sleep - getting I/O errors related to device "sdb1" - any ideas what's going on? | 02:38 |
| DrRealHouse | CShadowRun: Google on dpkg reconfigure tk... You will be able to select de default TK | 02:38 |
| ManualOverDozer8 | russ: ACPI | 02:38 |
| CShadowRun | DrRealHouse ty | 02:39 |
| ManualOverDozer8 | russ: Power Management settings in CMOS | 02:39 |
| classv0id | anybody have any idea why mine won't boot LoL? it doesn't boot anything - but if I chroot I can't get to any of the drives either so I assume that the problem lies in there somewhere | 02:39 |
| russ | ManualOverDozer8, anything specific I should look for? | 02:40 |
| ManualOverDozer8 | russ: ACPI | 02:40 |
| ManualOverDozer8 | russ: does Ubuntu shut down automatically when you press power button once ? | 02:40 |
| Bruners | is there a TrackID like program that new Sony Ericson mobile phones got? | 02:41 |
| CShadowRun | no luck, still stuck with tk 8.3.5 and i need 8.5 for amsn | 02:41 |
| lastnode | hi, i was just wondering whether the alternate-cd will let me encrypt my partitions during install? | 02:42 |
| russ | Actually it goes to a password prompt screen, which seems to work intermittently. Most recently the system was unresponsive to the keyboard and I had to hold down the power key to do a reboot | 02:42 |
| DrRealHouse | CShadowRun: Did you try sudo dpkg-reconfigure tk and also dpkg-reconfigure tcl? | 02:42 |
| ManualOverDozer8 | lastnode: that would take substantially longer to install, and really dont see a need for such | 02:42 |
| CShadowRun | DrRealHouse yes | 02:43 |
| DrRealHouse | CShadowRun: Also, is you AMsn from the repo of downloaded and compiled? | 02:43 |
| CShadowRun | downloaded and compiled. | 02:43 |
| CShadowRun | the repo is about a year old. | 02:43 |
| lastnode | ManualOverDozer8: i see a need. i was just asking if it's possible? | 02:44 |
| classv0id | ok how about does anybody know why when I chroot into the ubuntu distro drive it doesn't load the devices? how do I do that manually? - like my sda and sdb harddrives and stuff are missing but they are in fstab and mtab | 02:44 |
| Kattman | Help, Grub doesn't find Puppy | 02:44 |
| w33d5 | does anyone know how to show what the mount point is for the raid array i created? | 02:44 |
| lastnode | ManualOverDozer8: i can setup crypto, and then use LVM to create partitions inside the crypto space? | 02:44 |
| russ | ManualOverDozer8, Actually it goes to a password prompt screen, which seems to work intermittently. Most recently the system was unresponsive to the keyboard and I had to hold down the power key to do a reboot | 02:44 |
| DrRealHouse | CShadowRun: Have you removed it and removed 8.5, reinstall tk 8.5 and then reinstall AMSN? | 02:44 |
| Sydero | Is amsn even supported anymore? | 02:44 |
| CShadowRun | Sydero yes? | 02:44 |
| Sydero | hmmm | 02:45 |
| CShadowRun | latest version is less than 24h ago | 02:45 |
| ManualOverDozer8 | russ: what version Ubuntu you running ? i seen that in 7.x | 02:45 |
| CShadowRun | DrRealHouse i tried doing tk, i'll try tcl too | 02:45 |
| russ | ManualOverDozer8, Also, when it is "waking up" to get to that (intermittently working) password prompt, it reported a bunch of I/O errors on device sdb1 | 02:45 |
| ManualOverDozer8 | russ: that was meant for you> what version ? | 02:45 |
| Flynsarmy | Is there a way to get nautilus to send keepalives? It keeps disconnecting from an sftp every few mins. so annoying | 02:45 |
| russ | ManualOverDozer8, 8.04 | 02:45 |
| DrRealHouse | CShadowRun: Normally, TK and TCL are almost tied together... | 02:46 |
| CShadowRun | DrRealHouse nope, removed them with --purge and then reinstalled, still says 8.3.5 :( | 02:46 |
| Aragorn94 | gandy | 02:46 |
| Santi | Hello | 02:46 |
| Aragorn94 | old gandy | 02:46 |
| ManualOverDozer8 | russ: ACPI function allows for that, thats about all i can tell you. you can disable it if need be | 02:46 |
| CShadowRun | DrRealHouse not only this, after purging tcl-8.5, i still have tclsh | 02:46 |
| CShadowRun | so it appears i have another TCL installation somehow, although i really don't know how i ended up with it | 02:46 |
| DrRealHouse | CShadowRun: What version of Ububtu (Hardy?) | 02:47 |
| russ | ManualOverDozer8, all acpi reports is the battery state, ac charger state, and temperature (the terminal command acpi that is) - haven't tried the cmos yet | 02:47 |
| CShadowRun | DrRealHouse hardy x64 | 02:47 |
| ManualOverDozer8 | russ: go to this | 02:47 |
| DrRealHouse | CShadowRun: You can have several version at the same time | 02:47 |
| CShadowRun | DrRealHouse oh, how do i kill the old one? | 02:47 |
| russ | ManualOverDozer8, sure would be nice to be able to edit the cmos without rebooting (sigh) | 02:47 |
| DrRealHouse | CShadowRun: Good, same à me, can you open Synatic? | 02:47 |
| Santi | can some1 help me i'm new at ubuntu and i want to install ubuntu 8.04 without taking out windows xp..... i've got 2 hard disks each of 40GB in my CPU... but this says i only have 1 of 80GB... can any1 help me with the steps that i should follow while installing so windows does not get deleted and i get 40Gb for windows and 40F | 02:48 |
| Santi | GB for linux | 02:48 |
| ManualOverDozer8 | russ: System/Administration/Services and look for ACPID | 02:48 |
| CShadowRun | DrRealHouse course i can? | 02:48 |
| Sydero | Does anyone have a problem when they shutdown their computer, the screen just goes blank, but the cpu is still running? | 02:48 |
| ManualOverDozer8 | russ: you can try and disable it there to see if it works for you, but your ACPI functions will also be disabled | 02:48 |
| DrRealHouse | CShadowRun: Go for it and look for package name : tk8. | 02:48 |
| DrRealHouse | CShadowRun: You will see what is currently installed. | 02:48 |
| DrRealHouse | CShadowRun: Remove the old ones and reinstalled 8.5 version | 02:49 |
| CShadowRun | FIXED IT :D | 02:49 |
| CShadowRun | i had the old tcl installed | 02:49 |
| CShadowRun | and it bundled with the old tk lol | 02:49 |
| DrRealHouse | CShadowRun: Hurray! | 02:49 |
| CShadowRun | thanks :D | 02:49 |
| DrRealHouse | CShadowRun: My pleasure! | 02:49 |
| CShadowRun | i bet it's gonna be like "No you don't have TLS" now. | 02:49 |
| CShadowRun | i just have a feeling - because it hates me. | 02:50 |
| CShadowRun | yup, lol | 02:50 |
| russ | ManualOverDozer8, well I'd rather get it to work; I can disable it by setting the suspend time to "never" - but was wondering if anybody knows what is going on, or how to identify device "sdb1" | 02:51 |
| DrRealHouse | CShadowRun: I have AMSN from the repos and everything is working alright. | 02:51 |
| Drk_Guy | Hi | 02:52 |
| CShadowRun | DrRealHouse yea it works but it's missing features | 02:52 |
| CShadowRun | DrRealHouse latest version has voice calls :D | 02:52 |

| Sydero | naz: you can remove the old kernel via apt-get | 03:01 |
| Sydero | or synaptic | 03:02 |
| Sydero | or adept | 03:02 |
| Sylphid | naz, you can uninstall the old kernell however make sure that the new kernel doesnt break anything before you do | 03:02 |
| Sydero | just do: sudo apt-get autoremove | 03:02 |
| naz | the new kernel has been working for a bit | 03:02 |

| SebNaitsabes | tvyner: yes your nearly doing it right, but not quite by the looks of it | 03:12 |
| Sydero | you can adjust anything ;) | 03:12 |
| Sydero | like signal strength, etc. | 03:12 |
| tvynr | SebNaitsabes: This same approach has worked for me on other boxes in the past. I'm not sure what's different about the Ubuntu box that prevents it from working. | 03:13 |
| SebNaitsabes | tvyner: your in luck I have a link | 03:13 |

| tvynr | The server side is getting "selection_send: no send: uninitialised clients" | 03:13 |

| Storm_Cloud | i have a wireless network set up... without security... (well, MAC-Filtering is running and my machine is already in)... so how can i connect to it if I cannot select 'Use no encryption"? | 03:16 |
| riegersn | can anyone help me get access to raw1394 so i can use kino and my dv cam? i'm reading one way in the forums and other places say its wrong | 03:16 |
| Sydero | but you can | 03:16 |
| shadeofgrey | okay so -- i have a leopard partition and a windows vista ultimate partition on a first gen macbookpro.... do i still have to completely wipe out windows to install the most recebnt version of Ubuntu? | 03:16 |
| Sylphid | armr, yes, that requires an internet connection | 03:16 |
| SebNaitsabes | tvynr: checked my link out? | 03:16 |
| Sydero | you don't need security | 03:16 |
| Sydero | to connect | 03:16 |
| oldman129 | any one got help for Apache2 | 03:16 |
| Sydero | linux won't stop you from connecting to it | 03:16 |
| MrObvious | Storm_Cloud: Select it in the networking icon thingy and it should work. | 03:17 |
| armr | well thats one of my other issues...my motherboard has a built in wireless card and it requires drivers and an app to work | 03:17 |
| Sylphid | oldman129, whats in /etc/apache2/sites-enabled/000-default | 03:17 |
| Jack3 | are there any simple tutorial for setting up ubuntu as a webhost | 03:17 |
| oldman129 | yes | 03:17 |
| armr | well never mind | 03:18 |

| amenado | Jack3-> look into using apache2 or tomcat5 | 03:18 |
| Storm_Cloud | which one? i use the menu "network" under "System"... | 03:18 |
| Jack3 | Sylphid, is this somethihng a noob can setup? | 03:18 |
| Sydero | if you want to setup a webhost, you have to learn how to setup a webhost | 03:18 |
| Jack3 | i just have a domain name and just want to setup a simple host | 03:18 |
| Sydero | because you need to learn about security | 03:18 |
| Sylphid | Jack3, its not bad | 03:19 |
| amenado | Jack3-> simple host? use netcat :) | 03:19 |
| Sylphid | Jack3, just ask questions if you have problems | 03:19 |
| Jack3 | i mean i dont really care that much if this system got screwed cause its a website im going to use for like 3 people, with no confidential info and i dont use the ubuntu box | 03:19 |
| armr | well, Sylphid thanks for the help but i will let the desktop edition finish, i am a windows user and for now the less complicated the better | 03:19 |
| Storm_Cloud | i have to use a password type in this manager... well, it doesn't help me much as i don't have one... | 03:20 |
| jahala | As of last week, I can no longer access my evolution calendars that are type "On this computer". I think it may have started after updating to evolution 2.22.3.1, but I am not positive. | 03:20 |
| jahala | Has anyone else seen similar behavior? | 03:20 |
| tvynr | SebNaitsabes: Tried the link. Same behavior. :( | 03:20 |
| SebNaitsabes | tvynr: right can't really help you then | 03:20 |
| jahala | I repro'd it on another machine with a clean user. | 03:21 |

| th0r | djp_, one way to accomplish what you are trying is to forward the port using iptables, but the other way is to just edit the ftp-server conf file to have the server monitor the changed port | 03:25 |

| oldman129 | Sylphid any help!! | 03:27 |
| djp_ | no its on a totally different network | 03:27 |

| djp_ | well its not my network, im just trying to connect to a ftp site | 03:28 |

| Sylphid | LinuxIST, yes | 03:34 |

| scruffy | every time i reboot my system i end up having to reinstall the nvidia driver for my card...could the installer be making a bad module? | 03:35 |
| unop | rokra, a domain can have multiple IP addresses associated with it. the DNS servers might not be in sync, one might have stale information. what matter is whether or not you can connect to services running on the host by the domain name. | 03:36 |

| scruffy | thanks for your help sydero | 03:42 |
| Kardos | ubunto installed within windows, does this mean a / exists on ntfs under some directory, or it makes a huge file and makes a root partition in there | 03:42 |
| Starnestommy | atila1: mysql is and so is much of what sun makes | 03:42 |
| unop | so much of what sun makes is not very GPL compatible tho | 03:42 |
| scruffy | kardos: i think it makes a folder in C:\ | 03:42 |
| tvynr | If I have a wireless card that doesn't show a full printout with iwconfig (i.e., no like containing "key: on" etc.), what does that mean? It won't associate with the AP. | 03:42 |
| Sydero | I'd suspect that's it's one giant file Kardos | 03:43 |
| Starnestommy | Kardos: if you installed ubuntu with wubi, it uses a huge file somwhere | 03:43 |
| scruffy | to contain everything | 03:43 |
| Starnestommy | *somewhere | 03:43 |
| Kardos | rofl, both answers | 03:43 |
| LinuxIST | atila1, yes with restrictions | 03:43 |
| Sydero | :D | 03:43 |
| Kardos | ok, large file it must be, because ntfs wont do symlinks yea? | 03:43 |
| SaintStewart | So WUBI allows you to install Ubuntu within Windows, and run it like a VM? | 03:43 |
| LinuxIST | postgre is better | 03:43 |
| myconid | Kardos, ntfs does symlinks just fine. | 03:43 |
| Starnestommy | SaintStewart: I think so | 03:43 |
| Dr_willis | SaintStewart, it actually boots linux. not inside a VM. | 03:43 |
| atila1 | ok | 03:43 |
| Kardos | oh it does? | 03:43 |
| Dr_willis | SaintStewart, it does not run alongside windows. | 03:43 |
| SaintStewart | Ah, ok. Thank you all for the PMs informing me. | 03:43 |
| myconid | LinuxIST, and Oracle is better than crapgres. | 03:43 |
| obidiah | saintstewart: I've been hearing about how postgres is better than mysql since 1999 | 03:44 |

| Sylphid | LinuxIST, http://linux-wless.passys.nl/query_hostif.php?hostif=mini-PCI | 03:44 |
| unop | SaintStewart, not a VM as such -- the windows bootloader allows ubuntu to boot up normally | 03:44 |
| Dr_willis | SaintStewart, id perfer to run Ubuntu Inside a VM if you cant install it 'normaly' | 03:44 |
| LinuxIST | myconid, i means as in free ( not as beer) | 03:44 |
| Kardos | so it uses an extrasmart bootloader to read ntfs, mount the largefile, and boot linux kernel? | 03:44 |
| Kardos | oh, windows bootloader | 03:44 |
| unop | obidiah, better is a relative term. postgresql only fares better than mysql at certain tasks and the inverse is also true. | 03:45 |
| Kardos | so who mounts the largefile? | 03:45 |
| myconid | Kardos, I do. | 03:45 |
| myconid | its a hard job.. but someones gotta do it | 03:45 |

| obidiah | myconid: idioteque | 03:49 |
| ethana2 | the current flash version is flash 9 | 03:49 |
| Sydero | sorry but I don't use gnome | 03:50 |
| myconid | oobe, so your vote is for buy a new hd? | 03:50 |
| m0u5e | ethana2: why is a flash beta being released for hardy? :X | 03:50 |
| Adondai | I installed ubuntu through wubu and it worked great.... however I kinda need the hibernate and suspend options so thinking about installing on a partition. Apprently the wubu approach also has slightly slower performance? anyway can you access all the other files on my windows installation if its on another partition like i can through wubu? | 03:50 |
| myconid | obidiah, I love his cover. | 03:50 |
| oobe | myconid, i guess | 03:50 |
| Templar_Xion | Sydero, :) I understand. | 03:50 |
| LinuxIST | one question, my notebook came with bluetooth, is it possible it is integrated with the wlan? | 03:50 |
| ethana2 | m0u5e: I was tempted to use it too, because it works with Pule. not worth it. | 03:50 |
| Sydero | but if you can add gadgets | 03:50 |
| Sydero | it should be included | 03:50 |
| Odd-rationale | Adondai: yes | 03:50 |
| Templar_Xion | Adondai, You can access the other files. | 03:50 |
| obidiah | myconid: I'm going to look for some mp3s... | 03:50 |
| m0u5e | ethana2: ... wait... so how do i revert to an older flash? | 03:50 |
| myconid | obidiah, there isnt much else out there ... i dont think | 03:50 |
| m0u5e | how do i tell my current flash version and which repos it was fetched form again? | 03:51 |
| Adondai | thanks | 03:51 |
| ethana2 | m0u5e: sorry, I don't know | 03:51 |
| LinuxIST | because i had an option to choose a regular card or one with bluetooth during purchase | 03:51 |
| ethana2 | I just followed a guide, and then lost it | 03:51 |
| m0u5e | apt.... apt-history? ... apt-... apt... gah i forget | 03:51 |
| ethana2 | something with purge | 03:51 |
| myconid | apt-getmecoffee | 03:51 |
| Templar_Xion | apt-cache search i think | 03:51 |
| Sydero | or just use synaptic | 03:51 |
| Sydero | and look it up | 03:51 |
| Templar_Xion | man apt! | 03:51 |
| Storm_Cloud | uhm... what the... how come i cannot use my wireless lan even though i am connecting to it.. i can see my mac in the dhcp-client list... | 03:51 |
| ethana2 | installing things manually like flash 10 is ugly | 03:51 |
| myr | ethana2, do you know how i fix my sound then? | 03:52 |
| Templar_Xion | Where do I change CPU throttling for laptops in hardy heron? (Gnome) | 03:52 |
| ethana2 | I try to avoid it at almost all costs | 03:52 |
| ganymede | hello, i seem to be getting slow frame rates on fullscreen videos in flash in firefox running compiz fusion on a geforce 3, and full cpu usage on non-fullscreen flv video, so i was wondering whether with flash 9, is flash rendering done with opengl? or entirely in a software codepath? or does that depend on the swf? | 03:52 |
| Adondai | and does having ubuntu in its own partition speed it up somewhat? | 03:52 |
| efrem | Jordan, Give me a call | 03:52 |
| myr | ethana2, in sound preferences all are set to autodetect | 03:52 |
| Sydero | Storm_Cloud: use the applet at the bottom of the screen | 03:52 |
| Sydero | not network settings | 03:52 |
| SaintStewart | So what distro would you recommend to a highly technical user who has little Linux knowledge? IE I dont want to mess with command line and it be all GUI as much as possible. This isnt for me (I use Kubuntu), but still have to do commendline stuff from time to time. | 03:52 |
| Blaqlight | man apt-getmeacoffee > I don't know how to get coffee only milk deal with it. | 03:52 |
| ethana2 | myr: I'm not that great at that, sorry | 03:52 |
| myr | ethana2, ok thx | 03:52 |
| Sydero | SaintStewart: use Kubuntu | 03:52 |
| Storm_Cloud | well, i changed to Xfce... so kinda hard for me to use it... :-/ | 03:53 |
| Sydero | oh? | 03:53 |
| Sydero | xfce has nm-applet | 03:53 |
| Templar_Xion | sudo apt-get install kde4 :P | 03:53 |
| Sydero | you single click on it | 03:53 |
| myconid | SaintStewart, technical, but you want a start button? windows me. | 03:53 |
| Sydero | go with slackware SaintStewart | 03:53 |
| Storm_Cloud | nm-aplet... | 03:53 |
| Sydero | :P | 03:53 |
| Storm_Cloud | copy that... | 03:53 |
| SaintStewart | Templar_Xion, I am thinking about going to KDE4, but I still havent heard much good from it.... | 03:53 |
| Sydero | it's the little network icon at the bottom | 03:54 |
| myconid | solaris > slackware | 03:54 |
| russ | Templar_Xion, there is a root terminal application called cpufreq-selector | 03:54 |
| Templar_Xion | SaintStewart, Kinda like Ford and Chevy... | 03:54 |
| bastid_raZor | !kde4 | 03:54 |
| ubottu | KDE 4.0.5 is the latest major release of the K Desktop Environment. Packages can be found at http://kubuntu.org/announcements/kde-4.0.5.php - Support in #kubuntu-kde4 | 03:54 |
| Kardos | so can you access the rest of the NTFS partition that the ubuntu-within-windows bigfile resides on? | 03:54 |
| obidiah | saintstewart: sco openserver | 03:54 |
| myconid | Kardos, google://whateverosyouinstalled ntfs access | 03:54 |
| SaintStewart | ROFL Obidiah. | 03:54 |
| Storm_Cloud | hm, somehow the whole interface is blocked :-/ | 03:54 |
| Sydero | run nm-applet | 03:54 |
| myconid | obidiah, doesnt support quad core cpus :( | 03:54 |
| Sydero | blocked :S ? | 03:54 |
| Kardos | its ubuntu, but living on a windows partition, i wonder if it can see the rest of that partition | 03:55 |
| myconid | Kardos, google://whateverosyouinstalled ntfs access | 03:55 |
| obidiah | myconid ;-> | 03:55 |
| Templar_Xion | russ, I ran it but after attempting cpufreq-selector -f (or -g or -c) I get missing arguement. | 03:55 |
| ethana2 | anyone here in eastern kansas? columbus area? | 03:55 |
| Dr_willis | Kardos, you can mount the windows partitions i belive. yes... | 03:55 |
| m0u5e | where do I go to file a bug report for hardy backports and petition that flash beta get removed from the backports? (its not even stable!) | 03:55 |
| m0u5e | is it just regular launchpad? | 03:55 |
| effowe | how do i change the window manager when i type startx from a command line, im trying to go from gnome(default) to fluxbox | 03:55 |
| Kardos | awesome | 03:55 |
| m0u5e | or is there a special place for backports | 03:55 |
| Kardos | sounds like the snake eating itself scenario, you're mounting something thats already mounted | 03:56 |
| Kardos | or whatever, but no worries, thanks | 03:56 |
| bastid_raZor | !bug > m0u5e | 03:56 |
| ubottu | m0u5e, please see my private message | 03:56 |
| Kardos | ;) | 03:56 |
| myconid | Kardos, what, exactly, is a "snake eating itself scenario" | 03:56 |
| m0u5e | ah so backports it he same then :) | 03:56 |
| obidiah | saintstewart: seriously, if you're running a server, centos (only because it's got more mindshare at the server level) and for a desktop/laptop, ubuntu | 03:56 |
| Kardos | snake starts eating its tail, and continues eating, until it eats its head, and dissapears in a puff of impossibility | 03:56 |
| obidiah | saintstewart: it's not worth using a smaller distribution because it could be orphaned | 03:57 |
| myconid | Kardos, oh no.. it dies about halfway through.. ive seen it | 03:57 |
| myconid | Kardos, cats do it too | 03:57 |
| myconid | but dont die | 03:57 |
| Kardos | yaya | 03:57 |
| Kardos | but the bigfile-ubuntu thing seems like the same situation in a twisted way | 03:57 |
| unop | effowe, echo "exec startfluxbox">> ~/.xinitrc | 03:57 |
| Kardos | its mounting something that contains itself | 03:57 |
| Templar_Xion | russ, Got it, Man ftw. | 03:58 |
| SebNaitsabes | !flash | 03:58 |
| ubottu | To install Flash see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/RestrictedFormats/Flash (a recent version for !Dapper is available in !backports) - See also !Restricted and !Gnash | 03:58 |
| Kardos | futurama, that crazy box that contains the universe might be a better example | 03:58 |
| Sydero | errr I didn't believe ubuntu had xinitrc | 03:58 |
| SebNaitsabes | !flash | 03:58 |
| hou5ton | To upload images to FaceBook I'm being asked to install one of the following, and am not sure which one would be the best choice. The choices are 1) GCJ Web Browser Plugin, 2) Java SE 6, 3) Java SE 5 ..... any thoughts? | 03:58 |
| Storm_Cloud | yeah, and i had to start it with the terminal :-/ | 03:58 |
| Storm_Cloud | and as soon as i close the terminal my manager goes down with it... | 03:58 |
| SebNaitsabes | !flash | 03:58 |
| Dr_willis | Kardos, i do a similer thing with live cds and puppylinux all the time. | 03:58 |
| effowe | unop: ok, i was reading around and they mentioned creating an .xinitrc in the home directory, and that command does just that i believe | 03:58 |
| Storm_Cloud | should i reinstall nm-applet somehow? | 03:58 |
| w33d5 | could anyone tell me if a raid array has to be on the same channel ? i.e. master/slave on the same ide cable? | 03:58 |
| Sydero | no | 03:58 |
| Sydero | just run it Storm | 03:58 |
| Sydero | from terminal | 03:59 |
| unop | Sydero, it's not a file specific to a specific distro or OS .. it's the file Xorg/Xfree86/X uses | 03:59 |
| Storm_Cloud | yeah, but as soon as i close my terminal it dies... isn't showing anymore in the tray... | 03:59 |
| Sydero | yeah but Ubuntu has changed a few things around | 03:59 |
| Kardos | hmmmm, it's a novel new idea to me, *shrug* i guess im out of date in terms of ubuntu | 03:59 |
| Sydero | well maybe you can select an option of run everytime Storm | 03:59 |
| ethana2 | Storm_Cloud, use a & after it in the terminal | 03:59 |
| Dr_willis | effowe, example .xinitrc (2 lines) --> xterm & exec windowmanageryouwant | 03:59 |
| \- | my machine is a PIII 750 and RAM 128. | 03:59 |
| \- | I can not install ubuntu 8.0.4.1. if someone can help me I thank | 03:59 |
| effowe | ok., im going to test this out, thanks for the help | 04:00 |
| overrider | hi, can someone help me get my sound to work? i know it should be working, as it worked before on same laptop, asus f8sv. lsmod doesnt show any sound modules, alsamixer says nothing found. is there a command i can use to load all sound modules, to see which one will work? thanks. | 04:00 |
| unop | Sydero, X can use a variety of different files. the xinit manpage should document them all and their order of precendence | 04:00 |
| SaintStewart | Odd question. Is there a desktop thats just desktop (no KDE bar or Gnome bar) until you right or left click the desktop and then it brings a menu up? I know there used to be one, but Ive forgotten it and dont know if its still around. | 04:00 |
| ethana2 | \-: that hardware should be recycled really, now if 250nm, soon if 180nm | 04:01 |
| genii | \-: Use the alternate cd to install from. The livecd needs far more than 128Mb of ram to run | 04:01 |
| Odd-rationale | SaintStewart: try openbox | 04:01 |
| ethana2 | \-: what genii said | 04:01 |
| SaintStewart | Openbox? OK. Looking. | 04:01 |
| Storm_Cloud | okay, it's running... | 04:01 |
| ethana2 | Storm_Cloud, if you ran it with & after it, you should be able to close the terminal and have it still run | 04:01 |
| ethana2 | that's how I do my screensaver desktop backgrounds | 04:01 |
| unop | SaintStewart, fluxbox too | 04:02 |
| Sydero | reinstalling is probably the easiest option | 04:02 |
| melz0 | hello can someone please recommend a good vnc server for ubuntu, (hopefully one that is easy to setup) just to use over LAN | 04:02 |
| SaintStewart | Ok, Fluxbox too....looking there as well. | 04:02 |
| Storm_Cloud | hey, thanks... | 04:02 |
| Odd-rationale | but fluxbox has a panel... | 04:02 |
| m0u5e | how do i lock a package so that update-manager doesn't bother me about updating it? | 04:02 |
| Sylphid | melz0, tightvnc | 04:02 |
| genii | !pinning | m0u5e | 04:02 |
| ubottu | m0u5e: pinning is an advanced feature that APT can use to prefer particular packages over others. See https://help.ubuntu.com/community/PinningHowto | 04:02 |
| unop | Odd-rationale, it can be disabled | 04:02 |
| Sydero | Storm_Cloud: uninstall and reinstall | 04:02 |
| Odd-rationale | unop: true... | 04:02 |
| Sydero | Storm_Cloud: network-manager-gnome | 04:02 |
| unop | SaintStewart, twm is pretty simple too - the one that vnc tends to use | 04:03 |
| melz0 | thanks Sylphid | 04:03 |
| \- | ok thanks! | 04:03 |
| SaintStewart | Heyyyyy...I know this one. Wasnt there a Fluxbuntu distro or something a while back? | 04:03 |
| Dr_willis | SaintStewart, jwm is decent for vnc ussage also. | 04:03 |
| Odd-rationale | unop: fluxbuntu... seems dead now though... | 04:03 |
| unop | SaintStewart, i believe it is still being maintained | 04:03 |
| will00 | i just set up a ftp server and i cant seem to get sshfs to work right, it keeps saying that the connection was reset by peer. i can remotely control it from the remote desktop viewer fine | 04:03 |
| Storm_Cloud | yeah, the other one i'll deinstall in a few moments... | 04:04 |
| SaintStewart | LoL Thanks all for the flood of msgs. | 04:04 |
| unop | Odd-rationale, perhaps - not sure, never saw the point to it | 04:04 |
| Storm_Cloud | but i am getting no ip or whatsoever... | 04:04 |
| evilbug | the "-20" kernel sucks :( it's not working for me [not even -20.38]. | 04:04 |
| Odd-rationale | unop: me either... :D | 04:04 |

| Sydero | you probably also require an inbound port to be open nownot | 04:06 |
| Sydero | not just an outbound | 04:06 |

| mib_b28295ey | i need help | 04:08 |
| ethana2 | macho: ..and it's likely that we don't, sadly | 04:08 |

| genii | bah | 04:09 |
| SaintStewart | LinuxIST - Yes, I have that in one of my laptops. Very easy to use with Ubuntu and works FAST. | 04:10 |
| ethana2 | macho: that is for the ps3 os, not ubuntu | 04:10 |
| macho | i download PS3GRID on my ps3 but it not a full os | 04:10 |
| genii | LinuxIST: Perhaps look into the service of http://tinyurl.com/ | 04:10 |
| Storm_Cloud | cannot be... still won't work :( | 04:10 |
| Odd-rationale | SaintStewart: best way to decide is to try both. you can have both installed on your system anyways... | 04:10 |
| macho | i trying to but ubuntu on my ps3 but i cant | 04:10 |
| Sydero | Storm_Cloud: ? | 04:10 |
| ethana2 | macho: let the devs know you want it to work | 04:10 |
| ethana2 | macho: they ignore us | 04:11 |
| ethana2 | macho: 7.10 works all but the wifi | 04:11 |
| Storm_Cloud | ywah, reinstalled network-manager-gnome just a few secs ago... | 04:11 |
| YouKnowMeDontLie | my ubuntu installation has stopped mounting usb flash drives for some reason, does anyone know what [package is "in charge" of this so that i can reinstall it to hopefully fix it? | 04:11 |
| ethana2 | 8.10 should be a native Just Works release, but the main dev got busy so we may miss it | 04:11 |
| Sydero | add "Network Manager" to autostarted apps | 04:11 |
| macho | i dont have a computer with inearnet | 04:11 |
| mib_b28295ey | so nobody here knows what is wrong with this command? sudo bless –verbose –folder “/Volumes/OSX/System/Library/CoreServices” –bootinfo | 04:11 |
| Storm_Cloud | yeah, but how does it help if i cannot connect right now? | 04:12 |
| Sydero | oh | 04:12 |
| rnstux | i need to chance the hour in my system, but i want Ubuntu dont ask the password, how? | 04:12 |

| mib_b28295ey | thanks anyways | 04:13 |
| Templar_Xion | Is there a way to tell your disk RPM? | 04:13 |
| Storm_Cloud | yeah, it is my own network... i am connected via LAN though right now... | 04:13 |
| SaintStewart | Ok, well, thanks all for the info. Im gonna quit, as I keep getting floowed with tells that I'm offtopic. Have a good night. | 04:13 |
| YouKnowMeDontLie | does anyone know how to why a hardy release system could stop automounting usb drives | 04:14 |

| xz- | i burned ubuntu 8.04 onto a blank CD, but my brand new laptop freezes in the middle of setting up for LiveCD. I burned another cd just to make sure and my laptop freezes before I even get the status bar. what's going on? | 04:15 |
| ManualOverDozer8 | Storm_Cloud: i missed most of the conversation, but, what seems to be the problem with your WiFI ? | 04:15 |
| macho | hey there anyway i can add ubuntu on my ps3 by usb and not disc | 04:15 |
| Sydero | you don't need to do that Storm_Cloud | 04:15 |
| Sydero | just left-click on the icon | 04:15 |
| Storm_Cloud | well, that won't work as i don't get any ip or whatsoever... | 04:15 |
| meoblast001 | macho: dont think so unless you modify kboot | 04:15 |
| bobertdos | YouKnowMeDontLie: It may have something to do with the drive being improperly ejected one time. | 04:15 |
| rnstux | i need to chance the hour in my system, but i want Ubuntu dont ask the password, how? | 04:15 |
| Sydero | What does left clicking show you? | 04:16 |
| meoblast001 | macho: what did you do to your disc drive? =P | 04:16 |
| ethana2 | rnstux: what is your first language? | 04:16 |
| macho | how can i do that | 04:16 |
| ethana2 | rnstux: you may get better help in the channel for that language, if it exists | 04:16 |
| macho | i on here useing my ps3 OS | 04:16 |
| tuntun | Ubuntu won't read my cdrw, it says "there is probably no media in the drive". | 04:16 |

| montpelie | hi everybody, what is the most proper way to get application dependencies such as libraries etc??? | 05:20 |
| Sake | cellofellow, how do I do it? | 05:20 |
| montpelie | by issuing build-dep at the command line??? | 05:20 |
| ejsilver26 | Evening everyone. | 05:20 |
| cellofellow | Sake: in /etc/apache2/sites-available/default, in the Directory section for /var/www, set it to Order Deny, Allow; Deny from All, Allow from 192.168.0. | 05:20 |
| ganas | smile | 05:20 |
| ejsilver26 | Anyone care to give me a quick hand with a sound issue? | 05:20 |
| cellofellow | Sake: there's a few linebreaks you need to put in that but you get the general idea. | 05:21 |
| montpelie | anybody??? | 05:21 |
| harpreet | ejsilver26: lspci | 05:21 |
| Sake | cellofellow, what's the diff between sites-available and sites-enabled? | 05:21 |
| cellofellow | Sake: I do it for specific apps I host on Apache, not the whole site. | 05:21 |
| cellofellow | Sake: sites-enabled has links to files in sites-available, and it loads in alphabetical order I think. | 05:21 |
| Flannel | montpelie: just apt-get the package, and all the depends will be brough tin | 05:21 |
| ejsilver26 | crimsun: You there? :) | 05:21 |
| cellofellow | Sake: so, sites-enabled all the files start with 001-name or 002-name, etc. | 05:22 |
| crimsun | ejsilver26: briefly | 05:22 |
| Sake | cellofellow, so can I erase the file in sites-enabled and set up my working folder in sites-available? | 05:22 |
| cellofellow | /etc/apache2/sites-enabled/001-default links to sites-available/default. The httpd.conf file includes all the files in sites-enabled but not in sites-available. | 05:23 |
| ejsilver26 | crimsun: I tossed in the live CD of 8.04, and the sound is working. Wondering what I should note down to aid in resolving my sound issues. I've done lsmod and modinfo on the main dound driver.. anything else? | 05:23 |
| lycannyc | how can I edit a pdf file and write into it ? | 05:23 |
| lycannyc | 05:23 | |
| harpreet | 05:23 | |
| cellofellow | lycannyc: Inkscape can edit PDFs one page at a time. And there is pdfedit | 05:23 |
| ubottu | pdf is the Portable Document Format created by Adobe; viewable in GNU/Linux with xpdf/kpdf/evince, and also adobe reader (free download, but closed source) | 05:24 |
| lycannyc | cellofellow, nothing comes default installed ? | 05:24 |
| cellofellow | lycannyc: and I hear OpenOffice 3 Beta can edit PDF. | 05:24 |
| Flannel | Sake: sites-enabled (and mods-enabled) is for symlinks to the sites/modules you want to have active. sites/mods-available is for all of them (even if they aren't enabled). | 05:24 |
| === jbrouhard is now known as atawolfpack | ||
| cellofellow | lycannyc: PDF is primarily read-only. | 05:24 |

| Kardos | pdf not meant to be edited | 05:24 |
| lycannyc | yea this damn job sent me a pdf file and wanted me to fill in that application | 05:24 |
| Kardos | print it and write? | 05:24 |
| robert-woes | crimsun, I'm on 2.6.24-20-generic, but now it doesn't detect my video card -- ideas? (I am running in "low-graphics mode" now)) | 05:24 |
| cellofellow | Sake: there are actually little scripts like a2enmod modulename to create the links for you. | 05:25 |
| robert-woes | crimsun, nvidia 6200 i think | 05:25 |
| crimsun | robert-woes: make sure linux-restricted-modules-$(uname -r) is also present and fully configured | 05:25 |
| Sake | Aaah, so you can't use a site until there's a symbolic link to it in sites-enabled, right? | 05:25 |
| ejsilver26 | You were helping me with my sound issue yesterday. I upgraded from 7.10 to 8.04 and lost sound. It was suggested to throw in my live CD to see if the sound worked with the kernel. It aparently does. I was wondering what information may help me and others helping me to determine what changed and what I could do to fix the sound issue. | 05:26 |
| Flannel | Sake: Right. -available stuff isn't active. | 05:26 |
| Sake | cool, pretty smart | 05:26 |
| Sake | alright, so I got eclipse running and apache. Now what else can I do with my shiny new ubuntu? | 05:26 |
| robert-woes | crimsun, checking... | 05:26 |
| cellofellow | Sake: yeah, and there's a2ensite and a2dissite to enable and disable sites. | 05:26 |
| Flannel | Sake: and like cellofellow mentioned, a2enmod a2dismod are for enabling/disabling modules | 05:26 |
| crimsun | ejsilver26: what's the output from `asoundconf list' while running a terminal from the desktop cd? | 05:26 |
| cellofellow | Sake: um, replace Apache with Tomcat so it works with Eclipse for your Java apps? | 05:27 |
| ejsilver26 | crimsun: SI7012 | 05:27 |
| cellofellow | Or can Tomcat be added to Apache? | 05:27 |
| robert-woes | crimsun, how do i check ? | 05:28 |
| [-Mabus-] | Anyone here have Kismet running on Ubuntu ? | 05:28 |
| cellofellow | !tomcat | 05:28 |
| ubottu | Sorry, I don't know anything about tomcat | 05:28 |
| cellofellow | someone slap the bot, it ought to know what tomcat is. | 05:28 |
| lycannyc | so no ways to edit and write to a pdf file | 05:28 |
| cellofellow | lycannyc: yes, there is. Inkscape, pdfedit | 05:29 |
| cellofellow | lycannyc: OOo3 | 05:29 |
| ejsilver26 | lycannyc: You can also open a pdf in Gimp and type onto it. | 05:29 |
| ejsilver26 | lycannyc: I had to fill out some forms for my clearance, and that's how I did it. | 05:29 |
| AskForID | Is there away to assign a logical name to a wireless interface? | 05:29 |
| lycannyc | ejsilver26, gimp ? | 05:30 |
| ejsilver26 | lycannyc: Yup... go figure. | 05:30 |
| lycannyc | cellofellow, who uses OOo3 ? | 05:30 |
| montpelie | ok Flannel, but how about if I'm installing from a tarball??? | 05:30 |
| crimsun | robert-woes: dpkg -l linux-restricted-modules-$(uname -r)|grep ^ii | 05:30 |
| montpelie | not from the repositories | 05:30 |
| cellofellow | lycannyc: you can if you dare | 05:30 |
| crimsun | ejsilver26: ok. In your actual Ubuntu install, do you receive the same output from that command? | 05:30 |
| jc | can anyone help me get php running with mod_fastcgi under apache. I just can't seem to get it right | 05:30 |
| robert-woes | crimson, 2.6.24.14-20.46 | 05:30 |
| Sake | cellofellow, Ah, I'm ok with just php for now... | 05:31 |
| lycannyc | ejsilver26, lol i dont even know how to use gimp | 05:31 |
| ejsilver26 | crimsun: : believe I did. It has always identified it as Si7012 | 05:31 |
| === genii_ is now known as genii | ||
| lycannyc | cellofellow, whats the easiest? | 05:31 |
| crimsun | ejsilver26: can you ensure right now, please? | 05:31 |
| cellofellow | Sake: ok. Does Eclipse have good PHP support? The Python support is good but I'm not a PHP fellow. | 05:31 |
| ejsilver26 | lycannyc: Neither did I. You open the pdf and it will open it mainly as a Graphic. Click on the text tool and write it out. | 05:31 |
| Intrepid | Where can I go to request a package for inclusion into the repos? | 05:31 |
| Sake | cellofellow, I added Allow from 192.168.,127.0.0. to my enabled-site and now it says I don't have permission... | 05:31 |
| robert-woes | crimsun, i just did sudo apt-get install --reinstall linux-restricted-modules-generic | 05:32 |
| robert-woes | crimsun, should i reboot? | 05:32 |
| Sake | cellofellow, Yea, PDT is pretty slick if you take the time to configure it properly. I'm a big Eclipse fan. I used to use it for PERL as well | 05:32 |
| cellofellow | lycannyc: depends on the task. Try them out and see for yourself. pdfedit is a bit complicated but is a GUI. | 05:32 |
| ejsilver26 | crimsun: I'll reboot. Is there any other commands that I should note the output of while I"m on the liveCD? I'm saving them to a network share on another pc. | 05:32 |
| lycannyc | cellofellow, i guess im screwed | 05:32 |
| lycannyc | but thanks i'll see what i can do | 05:32 |
| cellofellow | Sake: now, if Eclipse had a nice slick Django plugin, call me a happy camper. | 05:33 |
| Sake | in due time I'm sure. | 05:33 |
| Sake | I'm rocking cakephp for now.. surprisingly good | 05:34 |
| Sake | and super portable, it's nice | 05:34 |
| ejsilver26 | crimsun: What about that alsa sh script... ? | 05:34 |
| cellofellow | For Django I'm just using a mixture of Gedit and Gvim. | 05:34 |
| u-abc | Hello guys. I'm using xubuntu8.04. I have a ATI card with double-head connected two LCD. The ati driver work well. When I type "DISPLAY=:0.0 xterm" in terminal, it work well; but "DISPLAY=:1.0 xterm" don't work, and the error message is "xterm Xt error: Can't open display: :1.0" | 05:34 |
| u-abc | . I don't know what's wrong | 05:34 |
| cellofellow | Vim has lovely syntax support for Django templates. | 05:34 |
| Sake | but before I do that... How come my Allow from 192.168.,127.0.0. doesn't work? | 05:34 |
| cellofellow | Sake: not sure, let me see what I put in my conf files so I can compare. | 05:34 |
| ejsilver26 | Sake: Well, 1 too many numbers, and the comma doesn't help either. ;) | 05:34 |
| Sake | I don't understand how vim could work better than a point and click IDE like Eclipse... the class outlines alone are reason enough for me to stay | 05:35 |

| crimsun | ejsilver26: no, nothing further from the desktop cd | 05:36 |
| ejsilver26 | crimsun: Ok. Rebooting. | 05:36 |
| cellofellow | Sake: it's language syntax support I want and Gvim delivers. | 05:36 |
| ejsilver26 | BRB all | 05:36 |
| Sake | cellofellow, how do I allow everyone from 192.168.0.*, 192.168.1.* and 192.168.2.*? Can't I just put 192.168.* somehow? | 05:36 |

| Sake | alright alright, I just created an entry for .0, .1 and .2 | 05:39 |
| Sake | anyways, as far as coding goes, I can't live without my ctrl->space, saves me so much time | 05:39 |

| unop | write | 05:40 |
| Metatron | jumper type /list to see if it is on this server | 05:40 |
| cellofellow | Sake: vim calls "save" "write", as it ought to. | 05:40 |
| ejsilver26 | Back | 05:41 |
| Atomhunter | Can anyone help me with this problem? I'm trying to run play movies and i get A/V desync.... any one know who to fix it..... I've just started with ubuntu | 05:41 |
| ejsilver26 | crimsun: What was that command again, I'll make sure it matches. :) | 05:41 |
| cellofellow | Atomhunter: enabling framedrop on a slow machine can help. | 05:41 |
| SebNaitsabes | Atomhunter: have you got the movie codecs installed? | 05:41 |
| Sake | cellofellow, yea, ctrl->space is something else... autocomplete. If I have Object->{ctrl->space}, then I get a list of all methods of that object I can use, without having to dig through codes or function lists. | 05:42 |
| JUMPER | ubuntu it is easy to use >>> | 05:42 |
| Atomhunter | I think i have the codecs, i don't have a slow machine..... It's build for gaming | 05:42 |
| SebNaitsabes | !multimedia | 05:42 |
| ubottu | Ubuntu 7.04 installs multimedia codecs automatically. For older versions of Ubuntu, or if you can't use the automatic installer, see https://help.ubuntu.com/ubuntu/desktopguide/C/common-tasks-chap.html - For multimedia applications, see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/MultimediaApplications | 05:42 |
| cellofellow | Sake: oh, autocomplete. Well, that stuff is hard to get right and sometimes downright annoying. | 05:42 |
| unop | Sake, in vim - you can setup tab to do that with omnicomplete | 05:42 |
| Atomhunter | i have hardy so i should have the codecs | 05:42 |
| cellofellow | unop: really? I need to get more into Vim. | 05:42 |
| SebNaitsabes | AVI's will not just play in hardy by default | 05:42 |
| SebNaitsabes | what file format are you trying to play? | 05:43 |
| Atomhunter | a blockbuster DVD... so AVI i think | 05:43 |
| chuck | hey, is there a makedbm tool for ubuntu server? | 05:43 |
| cellofellow | Most AVIs have Windows Media or MPEG video so they don't play without extra codecs. | 05:43 |
| SebNaitsabes | !dvd | 05:43 |
| ubottu | For playing DVD, see http://help.ubuntu.com/ubuntu/desktopguide/C/video.html - "libdvdcss2" can be found at !Medibuntu or (for Feisty and earlier) http://wiki.ubuntu.com/SeveasPackages - Try k9copy (available in !Universe) for backing up DVDs | 05:43 |
| SebNaitsabes | propritary DVD's wil not just play in Ubuntu | 05:43 |
| unop | cellofellow, i believe there is a supertab.vim vim script around. set it's up right for tab. | 05:43 |
| SebNaitsabes | encrypted DVD's will not just play in Ubuntu yes | 05:43 |
| cellofellow | Atomhunter: you need ubuntu-restricted-extras and libdvdcss2 to play dvds. | 05:43 |
| Sake | unop, Interesting... like I said, I need to look into vim a bit more. | 05:43 |
| Atomhunter | how do i get them?..... i'm a noob... | 05:44 |
| ajj | hi all, quick question: did anyone here request a free copy of ubuntu from the official website, if so...did it come quick? | 05:44 |
| Atomhunter | ajj: I did but it took a month | 05:44 |
| cellofellow | Atomhunter: install ubuntu-restricted-extras with Synaptic, and go to medibuntu.org to install libdvdcss2 and w32codecs while you're at it. | 05:44 |
| jhb1608 | No. it will take 4 weeks. | 05:44 |
| chuck | hey, is there a makedbm tool for ubuntu server? | 05:44 |
| SebNaitsabes | Atomhunter: follow the links or open a terminal and sudo apt-get install libdvdcss2 | 05:45 |
| Sake | is there a tortoiseSvn equivalent in linux? | 05:45 |
| SebNaitsabes | !info | 05:45 |
| ubottu | Sorry, I don't know anything about info | 05:45 |
| ajj | a buddy of mine got it in 6 days | 05:45 |
| speedbaron | Atomhunter: go to this link http://www.debuntu.org/how-to-play-dvd-under-ubuntu-linux | 05:45 |
| SebNaitsabes | !info libdvdcss2 | 05:45 |
| ubottu | Package libdvdcss2 does not exist in hardy | 05:45 |
| Finnish | How to check (Ubuntu) version in console? | 05:45 |
| unop | Sake, cellofellow - http://tinyurl.com/552bmd # supertab also you might like the custom search engine that searches all sites vim-related | 05:45 |
| cellofellow | SebNaitsabes: libdvdcss2 isn't in the official repos. | 05:45 |
| jhb1608 | it is depends on the location | 05:45 |
| chuck | bah, i'll just write my own ldap conversion scripts | 05:45 |
| SebNaitsabes | dellofellow: oh right yeah since legal reasons | 05:45 |
| unop | !version | Finnish | 05:45 |
| Ms_Cathy | Version: Acidblood 1.2.18 | 05:45 |
| ubottu | Finnish: To find out what version of Ubuntu you have, type « lsb_release -a » in a !shell | 05:45 |
| speedbaron | you should have all the information there | 05:45 |
| SebNaitsabes | cellofellow: I thought it might have been though | 05:45 |
| speedbaron | just got my working today | 05:46 |
| speedbaron | follow instructions | 05:46 |
| FAJALOU | hello i am trying to get the sims to work on my sister's ubuntu computer, wine sets it up and everything, but it will not run correctly, even with the cd in the disk. I was thinking of using vmware and installing xp so that she can run her game, can anyone think of any better program, or way to go about this? | 05:46 |
| cellofellow | SebNaitsabes: hasn't ever been, since it's about the most hot-ticket non-free codec around. DVD Jon went to court and everything for it. | 05:46 |
| SebNaitsabes | have you looked in appdb.winehq.org | 05:46 |
| crimsun | ejsilver26: asoundconf list | 05:47 |
| FAJALOU | SebNaitsabes: it looks like it doesn't work through wine, at least from the forums... | 05:47 |
| SebNaitsabes | cellofellow: hot ticket? | 05:47 |
| cellofellow | SebNaitsabes: good place to check if a program will work in Wine or not. | 05:47 |
| unop | FAJALOU, cedega might be able to do it - though it costs... | 05:47 |
| Atomicsunset | how do i access my usb hd via Virtualbox? | 05:47 |
| cellofellow | SebNaitsabes: illegal in the US, 100% illegal breaks DMCA and patents. | 05:47 |
| SebNaitsabes | cellofellow: I just told him to check there | 05:47 |
| Sake | unop, thanks | 05:47 |
| vj23x | help! i can't run desktop acceleration (hardy 8.04.1) | 05:47 |
| FAJALOU | unop: i hear that cedega can't do it either. | 05:47 |
| ajj | what's a good vendor of ubuntu (besides amazon.com) that is quick | 05:47 |
| FAJALOU | !explain | vj23x | 05:47 |
| ubottu | Sorry, I don't know anything about explain | 05:47 |
| ejsilver26 | crimsun: Exactly the same. | 05:47 |
| cellofellow | vj23x: video card make and model is useful information. | 05:47 |
| SebNaitsabes | FAJALOU: appdb.winehq.org also you should try #winehq since this is not really an Ubuntu issue | 05:48 |
| sjovan | ajj: why use a vendor when you can just download it? | 05:48 |
| ajj | sjovan, i'm on dialup | 05:48 |
| vj23x | whenever i enable nvidia driver, i got a black screen on restart! | 05:48 |
| FAJALOU | SebNaitsabes: wine ways it doesn't work, but it installs, correctly,,, what should i use to install xp inside ubuntu? | 05:48 |
| sjovan | ajj: then ask a friend or something to download it :) | 05:48 |
| SebNaitsabes | cellofellow: well I don't live in the US :) | 05:48 |
| crimsun | ejsilver26: good. Is audio still inaudible? | 05:48 |
| ajj | what are friends? | 05:48 |
| cellofellow | FAJALOU: I use VirtualBox. | 05:48 |
| SebNaitsabes | cellofellow: I haven't used it myself yet though | 05:48 |
| SebNaitsabes | FAJALOU: with some wine tweaking you may be able to get it working | 05:49 |
| FAJALOU | cellofellow: and is it in the repos? also is it hard to configure... | 05:49 |
| cellofellow | People with lawyers tend to use LinDVD or Fluendo DVD instead. | 05:49 |
| speedbaron | FAJALOU: you need to install a virtual machine | 05:49 |
| ajj | someone should mail me a copy :) | 05:49 |
| ejsilver26 | crimsun: Yuppers. | 05:49 |
| FAJALOU | SebNaitsabes: the wine site shows it as not running. | 05:49 |
| crimsun | ejsilver26: does `sudo /etc/init.d/alsa-utils reset' help? | 05:49 |
| FAJALOU | speedbaron: how so? never needed a vm before. | 05:49 |
| charliega | I just loaded ubuntu yesterday and am trying to get online with my Sprintcard (which is plugged into a pcmcia adapter plugged into a pci slot on my desktop. | 05:49 |

| cellofellow | FAJALOU: The 100% Open Source Edition is in the repos. Extra features come with the closed source edition but it's still free and easy to install and dead easy to set up. | 05:49 |
| speedbaron | emulator | 05:49 |

| FAJALOU | cellofellow: what is the package name? | 05:50 |
| cellofellow | WINE is a Windows API implementation for UNIX-like systems on Intel-compatible processors. Makes Linux binary-compatible with Windows. | 05:50 |
| ejsilver26 | crimsun: Actually.. yes. | 05:50 |
| speedbaron | FAJALOU: y? because wine is an emulator... so u can just install the actual programs | 05:50 |

| davisw | WINE: WINdows Emulator | 05:51 |
| crimsun | ejsilver26: so, is the problem resolved now? | 05:51 |
| unop | cellofellow, that statement's a bit off -- makes linux binary compatible with windows?? eh | 05:51 |
| ejsilver26 | crimsun: I have sound. Is there something I have to do to make it perminant, or is it done? | 05:51 |
| cellofellow | EnMasse187: I like WinFF, a GUI for FFMPEG. winff.com. | 05:51 |
| Andross | wine is not an emulator? | 05:51 |
| SidStudios | davisw: WINE: Wine Is Not An Emulator | 05:51 |
| crimsun | ejsilver26: it's done. | 05:51 |
| cellofellow | unop: with some windows apps | 05:51 |
| ejsilver26 | crimsun: After 2 weeks, yes, it is! :) | 05:51 |
| Andross | but it is an emulator... | 05:51 |
| alan_m | !wine | 05:51 |
| speedbaron | FAJALOU: what is the error u r getting? | 05:51 |
| ubottu | 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. | 05:51 |
| crimsun | ejsilver26: excellent. Off I go. | 05:51 |
| unop | Andross, no, it's an implementation of the win32 api, it's not an emulator | 05:52 |
| EnMasse187 | cellofellow: ill check it out thanks | 05:52 |
| cellofellow | unop: it doesn't make it source compatible, IE requireing a recompile without modification but it does make it so some Windows binaries see Linux as Windows. | 05:52 |
| alan_m | for all that are confused about what whine is theres the final answer :) | 05:52 |
| ejsilver26 | crimsun: Thanks a bunch. You made my night. | 05:52 |

| cellofellow | unop: ok, tell me in #ubuntu-offtopic where I'm off. | 05:53 |
| speedbaron | FAJALOU: the sims... what r the settings under WINE? | 05:54 |
| vj23x | !nvidia | 05:54 |
| ubottu | For Ati/NVidia/Matrox video cards, see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/BinaryDriverHowto | 05:54 |
| FAJALOU | speedbaron: there are a lot of settings under wine, i have it set as XP emulation | 05:54 |
| speedbaron | FAJALOU: i have ran into some directx problems | 05:54 |
| FAJALOU | speedbaron: it says that it will not work on winehq | 05:54 |
| FAJALOU | speedbaron: sorry the error i get is Could not find the Sims data directory. | 05:55 |
| speedbaron | FAJALOU: then you need to install virtualbox.. so as to install windows xp | 05:55 |
| ManualOverDozer8 | if you install wine, how can you remove the virtual c:\ drive so ubuntu is back to what is was before ? | 05:56 |
| FAJALOU | speedbaron: so there is no way around it? it says something aobut not finding the data directory, can you direct it there? | 05:56 |
| SebNaitsabes | ManualOverDozer8: so you have a clean Wine install again? | 05:56 |
| ManualOverDozer8 | so there is no virtual c:\ drive an all HDD space is accounted for | 05:56 |
| unop | ManualOverDozer8, delete the ~/.wine/drive_c/ directory (you might want to move it rather than delete it) | 05:56 |
| SebNaitsabes | you want to keep the WIne program itself, but get rid of everything else to do with it? | 05:57 |
| ManualOverDozer8 | if need be yes | 05:57 |
| SebNaitsabes | just delete .wine | 05:57 |
| SebNaitsabes | open your home folder | 05:57 |
| ManualOverDozer8 | i just want to try it, if i dont like it i want to be able to remove it | 05:57 |
| SebNaitsabes | view show hidden files | 05:57 |
| SebNaitsabes | and delete .wine | 05:57 |
| speedbaron | FAJALOU: none :-) because the game is probably using a registry entry | 05:57 |
| ManualOverDozer8 | oh yes, easy enough, thank you | 05:57 |
| SebNaitsabes | or move the .wine some where else. and you do wine again and your using a new one | 05:57 |

| SebNaitsabes | unop: yeah thanks for that, I tend to forget the well > one | 06:08 |
| SebNaitsabes | ajhtiredwolf: sounds like as a resut of doing that X has gone wrong | 06:08 |
| montpelie | any good keylogger for hardy???? | 06:08 |
| nickrud | FrozenFire you can change your sources source in system->admin->software sources, using the dropdown | 06:08 |
| unop | bob3213243, run this command exactly. dpkg --get-selections > ~/my-package | 06:09 |
| FrozenFire | nickrud: I'm talking during the install | 06:09 |
| SebNaitsabes | montpelie: lol why you want one of those? this is not Windows :) keyloggers don't exist at all in Linux or are hard to find | 06:09 |
| unop | bob3213243, and then you should see the file at. /home/nickolaus/my-package | 06:09 |
| ajhtiredwolf | SebNaitsabes, yeah somethings wrong with x, not sure what though as i didnt change anything, first time i rebooted it went bac kto normal, now it wont | 06:09 |
| nickrud | FrozenFire ah. For just one package, you mean? | 06:09 |
| FrozenFire | For the whole lot, nickrud | 06:09 |
| bob3213243 | unop okay there it is. | 06:09 |
| ajhtiredwolf | SebNaitsabes, somethings always been a little iffy about it, white blocks every now and then. | 06:10 |
| FrozenFire | I have a feeling the mirror I'm using is serving corrupt packages. | 06:10 |
| SebNaitsabes | ajhtiredwolf: ok well you know Grub the bootloader? there should be an option for recovery mode. and you can probaby fix X with that | 06:10 |
| nickrud | FrozenFire choose a different time zone during the install, that will choose a different mirror. | 06:10 |

| Odd-rationale | aa2277: try renaming the ~/.config/xfce directory. and logging out. it should automatically recreate itself again... | 06:43 |
| Flannel | aa2277: In case your GUI breaks, you'll know how to come here and get help fixing it (instead of reinstalling). You'll need to install irssi, but w3m is installed by default | 06:44 |

| SebNaitsabes | ManualOverDozer8: i'll private message you since Wine support is off topic really in this channel | 06:44 |

| nickrud | ZStar you can preserver nearly your entire package install list, and replicate it with !cloning | 06:44 |
| nickrud | !clone | ZStar | 06:44 |
| ubottu | ZStar: To replicate your packages selection on another machine (or restore it if re-installing), you can type « dpkg --get-selections > ~/my-packages », move the file "my-packages" to the other machine, and there type « sudo dpkg --set-selections < my-packages && sudo apt-get dselect-upgrade » - See also !automate | 06:44 |

| mrglinux | I have some problem with run level I think .. when linux come uo before login I have to go to the tty1 and run these command > "sudo /etc/init.d/dbus restart" after that "sudo /etc/init.d/gdm restart" if I don't my partion's doesn't mount and I face to many problems ... what do you think about my problem ? | 06:47 |
| Odd-rationale | EnMasse187: try http://www.zamzar.com/ | 06:48 |
| unop | R2P, try this. smbclient //ServBoard2/Stuffs | 06:48 |
| aa2277 | odd: rename the entire .config directory or just a subdirec? | 06:48 |
| unop | R2P, actually. smbclient -L //ServBoard2/Stuffs | 06:48 |
| Odd-rationale | aa2277: either. i would do the entire ~/.config dir but doing just ~/.config/xfce is probably safer... | 06:49 |
| x5x-ubuntu | hi all | 06:49 |
| Odd-rationale | hi, x5x-ubuntu | 06:49 |
| FrozenFire | Is anyone familiar with Xorg configuration? I'm trying to install and configure evtouch for my touchscreen monitor (http://www.conan.de/touchscreen/evtouch.html), however the methods described on the mentioned website cause the regular mouse and keyboard to be disabled. | 06:49 |
| R2P | unop: that doesnt work, however, smbclient -L //ServBoard2 -U Rent2Pwn does | 06:49 |
| aa2277 | alright | 06:50 |
| mrglinux | also I could not turn off my sstem means when I click on turn off button my system hangs if I don't run those commands | 06:50 |

| aa2277 | now i shall log out and try to log back in, see if anything is fixed :D | 06:50 |
| Odd-rationale | aa2277: no don't change it back.. | 06:50 |
| Darknezz | woops wrong channel :-S | 06:51 |
| mrglinux | no idea ? | 06:51 |
| Odd-rationale | aa2277: change it to something else then log out. like change xfce4 to xfce4.bak and leave it like that. then log out | 06:51 |
| unop | R2P, hmm, are you able to list files on that share when you use nautilus? | 06:51 |
| R2P | unop: Nope, says its empty without even asking for username/password | 06:51 |
| Odd-rationale | aa2277: you still here? got that? | 06:52 |
| unop | R2P, is that share under your control? | 06:52 |
| charliega | speedbaron yes, it is a sprint Merlin s620 EV-DO wireless modem | 06:52 |
| R2P | unop: Yes it is, its running on widows server 2003 | 06:52 |

| suilenroc | Hey all. New Ubuntu user here, name of Suilenroc. I'm new to this whole IRC thing, but I just wanted to thank any of you here in the #ubuntu channel who've helped create this great OS. It's pretty much replaced my vista install entirely, disregarding my off TF2 fix every now and then. | 06:53 |
| unop | R2P, have you ensured that atleast "Authenticated users" have ability to read that share and read the directory associated with the share? | 06:53 |
| aa2277 | Odd_ | 06:54 |
| Odd-rationale | aa2277: yeah? | 06:54 |
| OldToker | suilenroc, well it's got it's advantages.. and it's drawbacks.. namely gaming support. | 06:54 |
| aa2277 | still broken, and it changed my background settings | 06:54 |
| R2P | unop: When I had XP installed (few hours ago), I did have access to it after supplying credentials. | 06:54 |
| aa2277 | Do you know if theres a way to restore default settings? | 06:54 |
| Odd-rationale | aa2277: did you change it? and change it back. then logged out? | 06:54 |
| aa2277 | really id completely reinstall the operating system if i didnt just put on 24 gb a few weeks ago | 06:54 |
| aa2277 | yup | 06:54 |
| Odd-rationale | aa2277: no don't change it back.. | 06:55 |
| Odd-rationale | aa2277: change it to something else then log out. like change xfce4 to xfce4.bak and leave it like that. then log out | 06:55 |
| aa2277 | oh | 06:55 |
| aa2277 | Well here we go again | 06:55 |
| x5x-ubuntu | suilenroc: what computer did you replace it on - asking couse I will HP Pavilion dv7-1070eo buy and install ubuntu on that laptop | 06:55 |
| suilenroc | Aye. Now, I've heard alot about WINE, and the fact that it's recently released it's 1.0 distribution seems nice. Is it advanced enough yet to run a steam game at full graphics and good framerates? | 06:56 |
| OldToker | suilenroc, Wine is shakey at best.. some games work and some don't | 06:56 |
| speedbaron | <suilenroc> not really | 06:56 |
| SidStudios | suilenroc: Depends which game. | 06:57 |
| OldToker | suilenroc, there are other alternatives commercial ventures.. so I won't push them.. that are specialized for gamers.. | 06:57 |
| x5x-ubuntu | suilenroc: but go to wine and ask for that :) I got cod4 to work ubuntu wine 1.0 | 06:57 |
| suilenroc | x5x-ubuntu, I replaced it on a custom built computer that I made on my own. 8800gt GeForce, AMD 5600+, 4 gigs of RAM | 06:57 |
| charliega | Thank you speedbaron, I will try this tomorrow. I am completely new to linux but am so sick of windows. I appreciate the help and community spirit here. | 06:57 |
| SidStudios | suilenroc: I've played Warcraft III (not steam, but on full specs) and CS 1.6/Source which worked quite well | 06:57 |
| charliega | bye | 06:57 |
| x5x-ubuntu | suilenroc: cool ! | 06:58 |
| speedbaron | <suilenroc>games that use heavy directx will fail | 06:58 |
| suilenroc | sidstudios, not bad, css is the same engine as TF2. | 06:58 |
| aa2277 | alright, odd_: | 06:58 |
| OldToker | suilenroc, I played WoW.. and now Guildwars.. with wine | 06:58 |
| Odd-rationale | aa2277: no luck? | 06:58 |
| elo_ | is there something in gnome that is similar to plasmoids in kde? | 06:58 |
| suilenroc | speedbaron, do you know if Team Fortress Two is one of those games? | 06:58 |
| aa2277 | Its still broken, and it recreated the xfce4 folder | 06:58 |
| aa2277 | so now i have xfce.bak and xfce | 06:58 |
| suilenroc | oldtoker, how did they run? | 06:58 |
| aa2277 | should i delete the renamed one? | 06:58 |
| unop | R2P, so smblient is able to list the share? | 06:58 |
| OldToker | WoW, is almost flawless.. | 06:58 |
| SidStudios | suilenroc: Oh, didn't know that | 06:58 |
| speedbaron | <charliega>u r welcome: linux can be pain but better than windows | 06:58 |
| mrglinux | no solution ? | 06:58 |
| aa2277 | or maybe move it to an external or something, and try to boot from the new one? | 06:58 |
| Odd-rationale | aa2277: first of all. did it work? | 06:59 |
| OldToker | Guildwars is extreemly playable.. but has some minor graphical disturbances. | 06:59 |
| suilenroc | Sorry, I'm new to this IRC thing, i've figured out that typing in a persons name at the beginning targets messages to them. Can everyone see those messages, or only the people it's targetted at. | 06:59 |
| aa2277 | no :( | 06:59 |
| unop | R2P, maybe you could try smbmount - not sure that makes much of a difference, but worth a shot anyway | 06:59 |
| R2P | unop: Yes, it lists all share names on the box and even the OS it's running on. | 06:59 |
| SidStudios | Oldtoker: You have guildwars? :p | 06:59 |
| OldToker | SidStudios, Yep | 06:59 |
| suilenroc | sidstudios, yeah, it's based on the Source engine. | 06:59 |
| x5x-ubuntu | suilenroc: for wine http://appdb.winehq.org/ | 06:59 |
| suilenroc | Well, I guess that answers my questions. :) | 06:59 |
| OldToker | suilenroc, everyone sees them they highlighted in red for the person they directed to :) | 06:59 |
| suilenroc | I mean, the question for the direction of messages. | 06:59 |
| SidStudios | OldToker: Nice, which ones do you have ON UBUNTU LINUX? *keeps this on-topic* | 06:59 |
| suilenroc | OldToker, ah, thanks. | 07:00 |
| OldToker | I'm on LinuxMint | 07:00 |
| suilenroc | Ahah, sorry. >.> | 07:00 |

| suilenroc | x5x-ubuntu, awesome, thanks. | 07:01 |
| elo_ | is there something in gnome that is similar to plasmoids in kde? | 07:01 |
| OldToker | just alot less configuration and running around for repo's to get some multimedia stuff working.. as it's enabled out of the box. | 07:01 |
| speedbaron | suilenroc> ipv6 | 07:01 |
| Odd-rationale | aa2277: maybe we should be more aggressive... why don't you move the .config directory to the trash. and then log out... | 07:01 |
| x5x-ubuntu | suilenroc: np :) been new to :) | 07:01 |
| OldToker | elo_, I belive that you'd be looking for superkaramba | 07:01 |

| Odd-rationale | aa2277: hey, i've done it many times... | 07:01 |
| aa2277 | hold on, let me compare the folder contents between the one i renamed and the new one i created | 07:01 |
| elo_ | but superkaramba doesnt become transparent or take different themes does it? | 07:02 |
| suilenroc | I've disabled ipv6, it's still slow. | 07:02 |
| SidStudios | suilenroc: As opposed to? | 07:02 |
| OldToker | elo_, I honestly couldn't answer that one.. | 07:02 |
| aa2277 | yea, from the look of it, now that i think about it it might just recreate the whole directory, effectly changing it to default, right? | 07:02 |
| OldToker | elo_, Sry.. :( | 07:02 |

| R2P | unop: :-( | 07:03 |
| aa2277 | wait, you said delete .config? or just move it into the trash | 07:03 |
| Odd-rationale | aa2277: either... | 07:03 |
| aa2277 | ah | 07:03 |
| suilenroc | SidStudios, ah, I see. It's slow compared to FF on windows. Much slower. Even IE is faster. | 07:03 |
| Odd-rationale | aa2277: just get rid of it... :) | 07:03 |
| OldToker | SidStudios, Since I don't play WoW anymore * I couldn't stand paying for it over and over and over * So Guildwars is what I have now installed, just to answer your earlier question.. | 07:03 |
| aa2277 | bbiab :) | 07:04 |
| SidStudios | OldToker: Meh, it sucks that lvl 20 is the maximum for GuildWars, even on UBUNTU/LINUX MINT :-\ | 07:04 |
| SidStudios | suilenroc: Strange, IE is supposed to be faster anyways | 07:04 |
| OldToker | SidStudios, The game doesn't even get started till level 20.. I know seems wierd.. but it's true.. and it runs good on my *buntu clone :) | 07:05 |

| suilenroc | SidStudios, well, not that faster. I'm talking about having to wait 30 seconds for a page to load in FF on Ubuntu, versus instant load on Windows | 07:05 |

| Flannel | khmer42: As for the rest, I'm not sure. You probably want a netboot installation anyway (that'd be faster anyway) | 07:19 |
| Flannel | khmer42: You can make a custom install disk, yes, but its probably more hassle than its owrth in your case: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/LiveCDCustomization | 07:19 |

| Bogus8 | figured that :p | 07:28 |

| Flannel | sourcefreak: If you have Ubuntu, it already is installed | 07:29 |

| sourcefreak | ok and where do I find it or the docs ? | 07:30 |
| unop | Bogus8, even meta packages are subject to being updated | 07:30 |
| Flannel | Bogus8: not all metapackages work like that (just the kernel). Metapackages are useful for upgrading between releases mostly (and then the ease of installing related, but non-dependant packages) | 07:30 |

| === mabus is now known as [-Mabus-] | ||
| Flannel | Bogus8: emacs22 for instance, might become emacs23 in Intrepid, so without the "emacs" package, you won't get 23 when you upgrade. | 07:31 |
| Bogus8 | Flannel: that makes sense | 07:31 |
| Flannel | Bogus8: But, for all of Hardy, you'll get update to emacs22 | 07:31 |
| m0u5e | myr: my explanation was a little bit rudimentry, i am replying with a more detailed scenario | 07:31 |

| Flannel | Bogus8: but, you probably ought to install the "emacs" package anyway. Once you have the nox version installed, it won't try and install -gtk | 07:32 |

| Bogus8 | (server version obviously) | 07:35 |
| zvacet | Bogus8 : you will get security updates until 2011 for server version | 07:36 |

| unop | Bogus8, the backports are there to provide newer versions of packages that are really really needed in an older release -- and that's mainly a desktop issue and as such there aren't many backports for packages on a server release | 07:41 |
| Bogus8 | unop: I understand.. I just thought it might have longer support all around... I use my "server" for irssi and a few other nic nacs.. but it runs headless and minimal | 07:42 |

| wbmj | deltaslaya: ctl+alt+J | 08:33 |
| pretender | gordonjc: ok dyndns then wha | 08:33 |
| deltaslaya | wbmj: Yea I tried that but it doesn't fix it. I don't think it's exactly full screen that it is stuck in. | 08:33 |
| JoL | gordonjcp: I downloaded from the website, compiled and make install... | 08:34 |
| deltaslaya | wbmj: And I assume you mean CTRL+SHIFT+J, because what you suggested does nothing. | 08:34 |

| gordonjcp | JoL: ah, that wasn't a very good idea | 08:35 |
| gordonjcp | JoL: you need to install from apt | 08:35 |
| deltaslaya | wbmj: Yes, all that does is remove all the top menus and function buttons so you just have the sheet. So it is not actually stuck in full screen, it's just that its covering the whole screen and has no title bar. | 08:36 |

| nyoknyok | cweagans, any suggestions how can i remote to my pc from from? | 08:58 |

| cweagans | Xo) | 09:05 |
| nyoknyok | did i said the right term "extract"? :) | 09:05 |
| ManualOverDozer8 | i stick with DEB if at all possible, the tar method is way more extensive than it has to be | 09:05 |
| nyoknyok | why? | 09:05 |
| cweagans | nyoknyok: tar = no package/dependency management | 09:06 |
| ManualOverDozer8 | with the way permissions are set on linux, for new people, its combersome, more than needed. make a DEB and get over with it | 09:06 |

| kun-10 | why wine? | 09:08 |

| Tizz | Hi every body. Does anybody know when KDE 4.1 will be available on Ubuntu repositories ? | 09:21 |
| cweagans | Tizz: my guess: whenever someone makes a package | 09:21 |
| Tizz | Ah | 09:21 |
| Tizz | How many does it take ? | 09:21 |
| cweagans | Tizz: well....a lot | 09:21 |
| Tizz | and.... is there another way to get kde 4.1 ? | 09:22 |
| ManualOverDozer8 | !kde | 09:22 |
| ubottu | 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 | 09:22 |
| cweagans | Tizz: compile it from source | 09:22 |

| cweagans | kun-10: np. | 09:23 |

| ManualOverDozer8 | cweagans do you know if there is a way to configure the standard CTRL+c / CTRL+v keyboard shorts ? | 09:25 |
| ManualOverDozer8 | i really dont like it | 09:25 |
| Tizz | cweagans thanks... I deleted my windows partition a few weeks ago :) | 09:26 |
| cweagans | ManualOverDozer8: erm...they should work out of the box | 09:26 |
| cweagans | unless you have some exotic keyboard | 09:26 |
| ManualOverDozer8 | some cheapo keyboard but i dont see that it works for any apps | 09:26 |

| ZStar | How do I check my network connection? I am trying to update from 6.10 to 7.04 so I can update yet again :| | 09:27 |
| ManualOverDozer8 | let me check terminal | 09:27 |
| ZStar | It isn't getting the packages it needs to. | 09:27 |
| cweagans | ManualOverDozer8: btw, if you highlight something in linux, it's automatically copied....you can paste it by using the middle mouse button | 09:27 |
| cweagans | =D | 09:27 |
| ManualOverDozer8 | ok thats it, it doesnt work in terminal, and to highlight SHIFT+ARROW doesnt work either | 09:28 |
| ManualOverDozer8 | is there a way to allow terminal to use them ? | 09:28 |
| cweagans | ZStar, it will probably be quicker to download the 8.04 Image, burn it to disk, and install from there | 09:28 |
| ZStar | I did that and I got thousands of erorr messages. | 09:28 |
| cweagans | ManualOverDozer8: it's probably a driver issue | 09:28 |
| ZStar | I ordered a CD already. | 09:28 |
| ManualOverDozer8 | yeah, maybe i will see about changing it | 09:28 |

| viqas | zetheroo: NTFS is read only | 09:37 |

| unop | ManualOverDozer8, also you could quote it this way. "Program Files" or 'Program Files' | 09:38 |

| hischild | axel_s, reboot into rescue/single user mode. | 09:44 |

| hischild | cweagans, ubuntu doesn't have a root password. | 09:44 |
| axel_s | cweagans, what is the root passwd? | 09:44 |

| itai-michaelson | which command will tell me the version of a package in the repository? | 09:45 |
| === PiStAchiO is now known as SweetHeartDoll | ||
| hischild | ManualOverDozer8, su is going to root user, which requires the root password. sudo executes the command after that as root using your own password. axel_s | 09:45 |
| === komputer12 is now known as sintya_dewi | ||
| cweagans | su requires you to enter the root user's password (not your password) | 09:45 |
| Rageon | !compizfusion | 09:45 |
| ubottu | Sorry, I don't know anything about compizfusion | 09:45 |
| axel_s | hischild, so in case I've set a root pwd and don't remember I'm screwed | 09:46 |
| ManualOverDozer8 | i tried sudo su and now su works without pass, i still dont get it | 09:46 |
| cweagans | Rageon: run metacity --replace =D | 09:46 |
| hischild | axel_s, no. YOu can reboot into single user mode which will get you root automatically. Then you can run passwd to reset it. | 09:46 |
| Navy | Hey there | 09:46 |
| === komputer12 is now known as sintya_dewi | ||
| Rageon | whut is metacity | 09:46 |
| SitUbuntuSit | !compiz | Rageon | 09:46 |
| ubottu | Rageon: Compiz (compositing window manager) and XGL (X server architecture layered on top of OpenGL) - Howto at http://help.ubuntu.com/community/CompositeManager - help in #compiz-fusion | 09:46 |
| ManualOverDozer8 | but then do i even need su instead of sudo ? | 09:46 |
| Navy | Where are UBS-printer pointet at in /dev ? | 09:46 |
| axel_s | hischild, thanks, I'lll try | 09:46 |
| cweagans | Rageon: metacity is the default window manager | 09:46 |
| Rageon | oh lol/ | 09:46 |
| cweagans | =D | 09:46 |
| osfameron | ManualOverDozer8: not really. But doing "sudo su" takes you into a root terminal, so it saves you having to prefix everything important with "sudo" | 09:47 |
| apo | i have workgroup LAN with a Win 2003 Server, WinXPp and an ubuntu. I acn access the files of winxp. but couldnot the Server 2003. how can i access the files? | 09:47 |
| Navy | I've connected an m2400w-printer, but there is no entry in /dev/usb/lp0 | 09:47 |
| unop | apo, "could not" means what exactly? | 09:47 |
| hischild | osfameron, the correct way for that would be sudo -i, not sudo su. The first sets up the env properly. | 09:47 |
| masood | is there any ways to stop tearing while using compiz-fusion on drivers other than nvidia non-free? | 09:47 |
| ManualOverDozer8 | osfameron yes now i recall doing that. | 09:48 |
| masood | it seems sync to vblank only works on nvidia non-free driver | 09:48 |
| axel_s | hischild, the problem is that my gf turned off my computer during dist upgrade and now most programs don't work because it cant resolve my local hostname anymore | 09:48 |
| cweagans | apo: easiest would be to set up an FTP server on your win2k3 server and use an FTP client to transfer files back and forth | 09:48 |
| unop | !hostname | axel_s | 09:48 |
| ubottu | axel_s: Use hostname <somehostname> to set the hostname, or to do it permanently: edit /etc/hostname and /etc/hosts . WARNING! Make sure that your current hostname and /etc/hosts match, otherwise sudo may not work properly. Alternatively, use the gui at system>administration>networking on the "General" tab | 09:48 |
| cweagans | hischild: you could also do sudo su -, which gets basically the same result | 09:48 |

| masood | anybody? | 09:49 |
| hischild | cweagans, that leaves the env as it is, as the user set it up. sudo -i reinitializes the env as root, which is how it should be. | 09:49 |
| axel_s | ubottu, no gui because X wont start because of the same hostname issue | 09:49 |
| ubottu | axel_s: Error: I am only a bot, please don't think I'm intelligent :) | 09:49 |

| Gazbo14 | ok thanks.. ill give that a try.. | 09:50 |
| hischild | axel_s, you can reboot into single user mode, which gives you root. Then you can use vim, vi or any other text editor to edit /etc/hosts to add your hostname to that list. | 09:50 |
| deltaslaya | anyone? :( | 09:50 |

| axel_s | Isn't that a security problem that root access can be gained by just starting the recovery console? | 09:54 |
| hischild | axel_s, having physical access to your computer is always a security problem. | 09:54 |
| ManualOverDozer8 | axel_s if there is a will, there is a way | 09:54 |
| unop | axel_s, yes. but if a person can physically access your machine, there isn't much you can do | 09:54 |

| unop | Rageon, hmm, that doesn't help very much. what does this return? dpkg -l *firefox* | 10:00 |
| inflex | thankyou mrtimdog | 10:00 |
| axel_s | hischild, one more question: what the command to upgrade/distupgrade on command line? | 10:00 |
| hischild | axel_s, sudo aptitude dist-upgrade <---- iirc | 10:01 |
| unop | axel_s, sudo aptitude update; sudo aptitude safe-upgrade / dist-upgrade | 10:01 |
| axel_s | what safe-upgrade? | 10:01 |
| unop | axel_s, upgrade safely, without removing anything that might conflict with updates of packages | 10:02 |
| Rageon | unop, it sends out a printoutlike bunch of stufff | 10:02 |
| unop | Rageon, ok, can you put that up on a pastebin? | 10:02 |
| Rageon | like pm u with it or? | 10:03 |
| Er0x | can any1 help with this: http://pastebin.com/d12ce9931 http://pastebin.com/d4ad948e1 http://pastebin.com/d6ab417d9 | 10:03 |
| unop | !pastebin | Rageon | 10:03 |
| ubottu | Rageon: 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) | 10:03 |
| axel_s | unop, is that the recommended way of upgrading? | 10:03 |
| === tolecnal_ is now known as tolecnal | ||
| unop | axel_s, actually this is recommended when doing a dist-upgrade. sudo aptitude install update-manager-core; sudo do-release-upgrade # it updates your /etc/apt/sources.list file accordingly | 10:04 |
| Rageon | unop, http://paste.ubuntu.com/31662/ | 10:04 |
| pikeshouse88 | or couldnt you just do an automatic upgrade? and have things less complicated? cant we trust the auto upgrade by 2008? | 10:05 |
| icewaterman | i wonder if this classifys as a bug or a feature, but if you change your theme the orange ubuntu-gnome symbol in the upper left corner will always stay the same | 10:06 |
| icewaterman | with gnome this is normally blue (looks better with other themes than the default) | 10:06 |
| axel_s | unop, my situation is that during an upgrade to the development branch my computer was turned off | 10:06 |
| jc-denton | hi all | 10:06 |
| jc-denton | network manager is not working correct | 10:07 |
| nao | helo. | 10:07 |
| unop | axel_s, then these might do. sudo aptitude install -f; sudo aptitude dist-upgrade; | 10:07 |
| jc-denton | the wireless lan driver is working and i can set the ssid of an accesspoint with iwconfig | 10:07 |
| jc-denton | however | 10:07 |
| Rageon | any ideas unop? | 10:07 |
| pikeshouse88 | axel_s: i would recommend starting over with http://cdimages.ubuntu.com/daily-live/current/ | 10:07 |
| unop | Rageon, yep, coming up | 10:07 |
| jc-denton | netwrokmanager does not "see" the wireless lan | 10:07 |
| Rageon | cheers | 10:07 |
| jc-denton | it just shows the wired network | 10:07 |
| jc-denton | also when looking at /var/log/daemon | 10:08 |
| jc-denton | it does not do anything wlan related | 10:08 |
| unop | Rageon, sudo aptitude purge $(dpkg -l | grep -i firefox | cut -d " " -f 2); sudo aptitude update; sudo aptitude install firefox | 10:08 |
| axel_s | pikeshouse88, does that just upgrade? | 10:08 |
| Rageon | can i do all those as one line mate or chop em up at the sudo's? | 10:09 |
| pikeshouse88 | axel_s: i'm assuming you are plaing around with intrepid ibex because you are testing or developing, and you arent concerned with unforseen crashes and losses. so i would reformat and get into the development branch from scratch with that live cd | 10:09 |
| pikeshouse88 | ^playing | 10:09 |
| unop | Rageon, better to copy and paste all that in.. but you can chop them down. though what would be the point? :) | 10:09 |
| Rageon | yea just making sure i can paste 1 line, as id rather be lazy :D | 10:10 |
| unop | Rageon, one step ahead of you there :) | 10:10 |
| pogay | jc-denton: I used wpa_supplicant (because nm didn't handle web/wpa) | 10:10 |
| Rageon | hehe | 10:10 |
| jc-denton | pogay: me too | 10:11 |
| jc-denton | pogay: and i'm fed up with it | 10:11 |
| jc-denton | also it's not my laptop | 10:11 |
| jc-denton | so i don't want to hear this | 10:11 |
| ManualOverDozer8 | what application i install to save my current setup to CDRW . i know something like ???2iso ?? | 10:11 |
| ManualOverDozer8 | iso2CD ? | 10:11 |
| ks | is there a tool for logging file access via samba? eg. who deleted sth. etc. | 10:11 |
| vistakiller | hi | 10:12 |
| p4_xxx | instead of this ...$ sudo iptables -A INPUT -p tcp --dport 139 -j ACCEPT i did $ sudo iptables -I INPUT 3 -p tcp --dport 139 -j ACCEPT, and now i can browse my files but it seem slow when it is asking for password , do u know if i have to do the same in all these ports ? 137,138/udp 139/tcp 445/tcp | 10:12 |
| vistakiller | in hardy-proposed | 10:12 |
| jc-denton | so how does the network manager "talk" to the wlan driver? | 10:12 |
| vistakiller | sauerbraten is break package | 10:13 |
| jc-denton | pogay: it's retarded to write a configuration file to join a wlan network | 10:13 |
| unop | p4_xxx, i would suggest that yes. | 10:13 |
| pogay | jc-denton: yeah, I agree!!! | 10:13 |
| vistakiller | for few days now i cant update sauerbraten because is break with sauerbraten-data | 10:13 |
| jc-denton | :) | 10:13 |
| Rageon | lol unop.. i had gran paridiso open when i uninstalled think it didnt work | 10:13 |
| pogay | jc-denton: o.k. I still run 7.10 | 10:14 |
| p4_xxx | ok | 10:14 |
| jc-denton | aha | 10:14 |
| dubb | hm | 10:14 |
| Rageon | whats the latest ff3 ? | 10:14 |
| unop | Rageon, hmm, i'm not sure i follow? what do you mean? | 10:14 |
| unop | !firefox3 | 10:14 |
| ubottu | Firefox 3 Final is currently in the Hardy package repositories. For best results, do not install via archives downloaded from mozilla.com. | 10:14 |
| ManualOverDozer8 | jc-denton i found an application much better than Network Manager | 10:14 |
| Rageon | 3.0a8 ? | 10:14 |
| jc-denton | ManualOverDozer8: ?! | 10:14 |
| DistroJockey | Rageon, 3.0.1 | 10:14 |
| jc-denton | loook | 10:14 |
| Rageon | didint work then unop :( | 10:14 |
| jc-denton | ubuntu and kubntu both ship network manager | 10:14 |
| jc-denton | it normally works | 10:14 |
| ManualOverDozer8 | jc-denton WicD | 10:15 |
| Rageon | seems to of installed another version of firefox 2? | 10:15 |
| jc-denton | but now it does not for xome strange reason | 10:15 |
| unop | !info firefox3 | Rageon | 10:15 |
| ManualOverDozer8 | normally is right but not always | 10:15 |
| unop | come on ubottu - wake up | 10:15 |
| Rageon | that sent me no info :O | 10:15 |
| ManualOverDozer8 | remove NetMan and install WicD, you will find wireless is much more fluent to configure | 10:15 |
| jc-denton | ManualOverDozer8: i don't want anything different | 10:15 |
| unop | Rageon, 3.0.1+build1+nobinonly-0ubuntu0.8.04.3 is the current version | 10:15 |
| jc-denton | is it just another frontend to network manager/ | 10:15 |
| ManualOverDozer8 | jc-denton then you dont want ease of use | 10:15 |
| ubottu | rageon: Package firefox3 does not exist in hardy | 10:16 |
| unop | Rageon, you on hardy i assume? | 10:16 |
| jc-denton | so how does nm talk to the driver? | 10:16 |
| Rageon | dunno lol | 10:16 |
| jc-denton | ManualOverDozer8: no it should work out of the box | 10:16 |
| AdvoWork | hi there, if i make a simple script that just does: /usr/bin/php myfile1.php then /usr/bin/php myfile2.php how will that execute, run the 1st one and then the 2nd one once the first has finished or straight after another? | 10:16 |
| ManualOverDozer8 | jc-denton Network Manager doesnt like you using terminal commands | 10:16 |
| Rageon | gutsy i thought | 10:16 |
| unop | !version | Rageon | 10:16 |
| ubottu | Rageon: To find out what version of Ubuntu you have, type « lsb_release -a » in a !shell | 10:16 |
| Ms_Cathy | Version: Acidblood 1.2.18 | 10:16 |
| ManualOverDozer8 | jc-denton and it does but as soon as you do any manual configure it freaks out | 10:16 |
| sajuuk | hey guys wot do i get for dvd drivers? | 10:16 |
| Rageon | yea gutsy | 10:16 |
| sajuuk | this is on hardy | 10:16 |
| Rageon | does it work on gutsy? | 10:17 |
| pikeshouse88 | axel_s: if you dont want the develop branch, use http://cdimages.ubuntu.com/hardy/daily-live/current/ | 10:17 |
| tparcina | shutdown -r TIME 23:00 - why this command doesn't work? | 10:17 |
| unop | AdvoWork, depends on how you write the script -- if those are on seperate lines, command 1 is executed first, when done, command 2 is done | 10:17 |
| pogay | jc-denton: may be an other network manager has less bug. I wasn't able to connect to a protected network,password never was accepted.. | 10:17 |
| pogay | jc-denton: but with iwconfig I could connect... | 10:17 |
| unop | Rageon, unfortunately, firefox3 is only available in the hardy repos. | 10:17 |
| erUSUL | tparcina: TIME is not needed. sudo shutdown -r 23:00 | 10:18 |
| tparcina | erUSUL: thank you! | 10:18 |
| Rageon | is hardy older or newer tan gutsy? | 10:18 |
| unop | newer | 10:18 |
| Rageon | i was running the ff3 preview tho.. still am actually? | 10:18 |
| jc-denton | me too | 10:18 |
| Navy | Anyone an idea, why /dev/usb/lp0 isnt created when attach an usb-printer? | 10:18 |
| erUSUL | Navy: "tailf /var/log/messages" and attach the printer. Maybe you get some clue | 10:19 |
| jc-denton | let me ask again | 10:19 |
| sajuuk | requesting what type of dvd drivers i need to get for hardy heron? | 10:19 |
| jc-denton | how does nm talk to the wlan driver | 10:19 |
| Rageon | if i upgrade to hardy will it remember all of my settings? | 10:19 |
| === Vampy is now known as VampyInBed | ||
| erUSUL | sajuuk: dvd drives do not need anything special | 10:19 |
| jc-denton | cos if i don't know how, how am i supposed to fix it then | 10:19 |
| jc-denton | ? | 10:19 |
| unop | Rageon, pretty much yea | 10:19 |
| sajuuk | hmm my dvd drive can't play evangelion... | 10:20 |
| Rageon | any minus's about hardy? eg its still got compiz etc right? | 10:20 |
| erUSUL | sajuuk: for dvd playback (no data access) you need | 10:20 |
| erUSUL | !dvd | sajuuk | 10:20 |
| ubottu | sajuuk: For playing DVD, see http://help.ubuntu.com/ubuntu/desktopguide/C/video.html - "libdvdcss2" can be found at !Medibuntu or (for Feisty and earlier) http://wiki.ubuntu.com/SeveasPackages - Try k9copy (available in !Universe) for backing up DVDs | 10:20 |
| pikeshouse88 | or use VLC | 10:21 |
| unop | Rageon, there are a few nagging issues -- if firefox3 is the only reason you have to upgrade, i would say, don't | 10:21 |
| sajuuk | thx i will go through those | 10:21 |
| Rageon | mmk | 10:21 |
| unop | Rageon, you can install firefox 3 from mozilla's download | 10:21 |
| Rageon | ? | 10:22 |
| pikeshouse88 | i dont understand what the problem is. upgrade automatically, or reformat with a hardy disk. what else could you need? | 10:22 |
| Navy | erUSUL: http://paste.ubuntu.com/31667/ | 10:23 |
| Rageon | as famous australian racist politiion pauline hanson would say "please explain" :D | 10:24 |
| Navy | Nothing wrong with it | 10:24 |
| unop | Rageon, http://download.mozilla.org/?product=firefox-3.0.1&os=linux&lang=en-US | 10:24 |
| geirha | Rageon: resize partitions so you have 10 GB free space on one of your disks, then install hardy there, then you can test and see what works and what not whitout interfering with your current system | 10:26 |
| unop | Rageon, these instructions work despite being for the beta. http://linuxowns.wordpress.com/2008/02/15/install-firefox-3-beta-3-on-ubuntu/ | 10:26 |
| erUSUL | Navy: only those lines... ? i got this extra line whn i plug mine usblp0: USB Bidirectional printer dev 3 if 0 alt 0 proto 2 vid 0x03F0 pid 0x1904 | 10:26 |
| Navy | Nope. Only this 3 lines | 10:27 |
| erUSUL | Navy: so your device is not recogniced by usblp ¿¿ | 10:27 |
| AdvoWork | unop so if file1.php does stuff to take 30 seconds, on a new line i call file2.php file2.php will only begin running after file1.php has completed? | 10:27 |
| Rageon | cheers unop, does it cover in that how to uninstall the preview etc? | 10:27 |
| Navy | usblp? | 10:27 |
| unop | AdvoWork, correct. | 10:27 |
| erUSUL | Navy: the module that handless usb printers afaik | 10:28 |
| unop | AdvoWork, you can run them simulateneously - if that's what you are after. php file1 & php file2 | 10:28 |
| Navy | uhm... lets see if its loaded | 10:28 |
| AdvoWork | unop nope, need them to run after each other if you get me, that should be great, cheers! | 10:28 |
| unop | Rageon, errm no, but the command i gave you earlier should remove the "preview" | 10:28 |
| erUSUL | Navy: try "sudo modprobe usblp" with the printer plugged | 10:28 |
| Rageon | cheers | 10:29 |
| Navy | Yeah | 10:29 |
| Navy | That was it | 10:29 |
| Navy | thanx | 10:29 |
| chriswr | whats the offtopics room name? | 10:29 |
| geirha | AdvoWork: you can also have the second command run based on the return value of the first. "file1.php && file2.php" file2.php will only run if file1 completes successfully | 10:29 |
| Navy | erUSUL, how to thank you? | 10:30 |
| sx66eee | woot | 10:30 |
| erUSUL | Navy: no need; glad to help out | 10:30 |
| chriswr | !offtopic | 10:30 |
| ubottu | #ubuntu is the Ubuntu support channel, #ubuntu+1 supports the development version of Ubuntu and #ubuntu-offtopic is for random chatter. Welcome! | 10:30 |
| AdvoWork | geirha how does it know if file1 has completed successfully though? | 10:30 |
| unop | AdvoWork, each process returns an exit status to the shell. the shell uses this value to determine if it was a success or not | 10:31 |
| AdvoWork | ahh I see | 10:31 |
| geirha | AdvoWork: if file1.php returns 0, that means it succeeded, all other values means it failed. I'm rusty on php, but you have the exit(number) function I think, and possibly return (number) | 10:31 |
| erUSUL | Navy: echo usblp | sudo tee -a /etc/modules | 10:32 |
| Navy | Its allready in | 10:32 |
| Navy | :) | 10:32 |
| Navy | But thank you | 10:32 |
| p4_xxx | :-D i added all this ports 137,138/udp 139/tcp 445/tcp,, in iptables ubuntu server trough samba ej. $ sudo iptables -I INPUT 3 -p tcp --dport 139 -j ACCEPT. Working Perfect, thank u all, thanks unop | 10:32 |

| sajuuk | very weird... xine says i have everything to play dvd's... but dvds wont play | 10:38 |
| Blaqlight | !dvd | sajuuk | 10:39 |
| ubottu | sajuuk: For playing DVD, see http://help.ubuntu.com/ubuntu/desktopguide/C/video.html - "libdvdcss2" can be found at !Medibuntu or (for Feisty and earlier) http://wiki.ubuntu.com/SeveasPackages - Try k9copy (available in !Universe) for backing up DVDs | 10:39 |
| sajuuk | done that | 10:39 |
| ActionParsnip | hey all | 10:39 |
| apinunt | ManualOverDozer8: What I'm looking for is the content of /etc/network/interfaces from a working system as Ubuntu has created some obviously unusable entries in ours. | 10:39 |
| Blaqlight | sajuuk: what exactly did you do | 10:39 |
| Blaqlight | sajuuk: and did you try another dvd? | 10:39 |
| jc-denton | apinunt: just delete everything | 10:40 |
| ActionParsnip | jc-denton: its better to rename rather than delete | 10:40 |
| jc-denton | auto lo | 10:40 |
| jc-denton | auto lo inet loopback | 10:40 |
| sajuuk | downloaded gxine, made sure i had the lib codec thing, did "sudo /usr/share/doc/libdvdread3/examples/install-css.sh" command wasn't found, tried 2 dvds. | 10:40 |
| ActionParsnip | if you rename the interfaces file and reboot a fresh one will be created | 10:40 |
| apinunt | jc-denton: And...? | 10:40 |
| jc-denton | nm should work w/o /etc/network/interfaces | 10:41 |
| jc-denton | not sure if you need it to bring up loopback | 10:41 |
| Blaqlight | sajuuk: did you install libdvdcss (2)? | 10:41 |
| Blaqlight | not version 1 | 10:41 |
| sajuuk | i will check | 10:42 |
| ActionParsnip | !dvd | sajuuk | 10:42 |

| serge | hi there! | 10:42 |
| serge | tell me, please, how to find out what driver do my video card uses at this moment? | 10:42 |
| sajuuk | im on hardy | 10:42 |
| Blaqlight | sajuuk: its a restricted format you need to download it separately. | 10:43 |
| sajuuk | so libdvdcss2 would be useless? | 10:43 |
| ActionParsnip | serge: lshw | 10:43 |
| Blaqlight | and explicitly | 10:43 |
| ActionParsnip | serge: easiest way is to open your xorg.conf | 10:43 |
| Blaqlight | or you can't play dvd's | 10:43 |
| sajuuk | can i do sudo apt-install libdvdcss2? | 10:43 |
| serge | ActionParsnip: thanks! | 10:43 |
| Blaqlight | no follow the above instructions | 10:43 |
| apinunt | jc-denton: Are you saying the file is not used ? | 10:43 |
| sajuuk | cos synaptic takes too long | 10:43 |
| blogi | can i pm someone here...i need help | 10:44 |
| er0x_ | how to check what rights got group? | 10:44 |
| Blaqlight | !patience | sajuuk | 10:44 |
| ubottu | sajuuk: The people here are volunteers, your attitude should reflect that. Answers are not always available. See http://wiki.ubuntu.com/IrcGuidelines | 10:44 |
| Blaqlight | lol wrong thing for patience but you need to to download and install it, there are NO shortcuts. | 10:44 |
| ActionParsnip | blogi: ask in the room, you will get more responses | 10:45 |
| sajuuk | aye, i sometimes cant stand synaptic and its search function sometimes... | 10:45 |
| mrtimdog | sajuuk: apt-get install <pkg> | 10:45 |
| Blaqlight | sajuuk: just follow the instructions above and it WILL work. | 10:45 |
| nubuntu | i didn't know you could download 'patience' ... that's wonderful. | 10:45 |
| ActionParsnip | sajuuk: what mrtimdog said ;) | 10:46 |
| Blaqlight | mrtimdog: you can't do that with restricted formats/drivers | 10:46 |
| ActionParsnip | !info patience | 10:46 |
| ubottu | Package patience does not exist in hardy | 10:46 |
| nubuntu | dOH! | 10:46 |
| geirha | sajuuk: and to search for packages containing the string foo in the terminal: aptitude search foo | 10:46 |
| sajuuk | aha | 10:46 |
| nubuntu | i | 10:46 |
| Blaqlight | fine do what they say, when that fails, do as I said and you'll be able to play your dvd's | 10:47 |
| nubuntu | i'm still waiting to download free beer. | 10:47 |

| apinunt | jc-denton: We've spent a few months trying to get wlan0 to work and even appear, and are now seeing that it exists and can begin negotiation with the router, but displays IP addresses which cannot be used. I think we can resolve the problem by manually editing the interfaces file but would like to see one that works currently. | 10:53 |
| ActionParsnip | serge: no, you need 3d accelleration, what graphics card do you have? | 10:53 |

| geirha | serge: xorg may be able to detect the proper driver if you have no video device configured in xorg.conf, but it's only successful with video cards that does not use proprietary binary drivers | 11:01 |
| ghostcube | i have only 2 kernels | 11:01 |

| ghostcube | pikeshouse88: i know how this all works it works fine | 11:03 |
| ghostcube | it just freezes the kernel at startup | 11:04 |
| Finiras | there is a readme that tells me to run this command to check for dependencies: make [config|menuconfig|xconfig]; make dep' BUT if i do that, all i get is >, and nothing happens. what am i doing wrong?? | 11:04 |
| DistroJockey | bsusa, -R does that (see man chmod) | 11:04 |
| artagnon | Alsa problem [ http://rafb.net/p/duAS4G70.html ] >> Any ideas? | 11:04 |
| Blaqlight | Finiras: are you trying to build a custom kernel? | 11:04 |

| mrtimdog | apinunt: See man wpa_supplicant.conf, there's a few examples. | 11:04 |
| ghostcube | could it be the sata disks ? | 11:05 |
| Finiras | blaqlight no, i am trying to install this program: motion | 11:05 |
| bsusa | yep just tried it before forgot about that one i was using -r instead of -R | 11:05 |
| Blaqlight | Finiras: use sudo apt-get install mothion | 11:05 |
| Blaqlight | err | 11:05 |
| sajuuk | i think im out of luck with my dvd, vlc hasnt worked either but I swear i have a dvd player | 11:05 |

| DistroJockey | bsusa, you're welcome | 11:05 |
| Blaqlight | sudo apt-get install motion | 11:05 |
| Finiras | blaqlight sorry it is not what i meant, i am installing the driver for hte webcam first. | 11:06 |
| Finiras | which is what im doing now | 11:06 |
| Blaqlight | !dvd | sajuuk follow the direction explicitly it will work :D | 11:06 |
| ubottu | sajuuk follow the direction explicitly it will work :D: For playing DVD, see http://help.ubuntu.com/ubuntu/desktopguide/C/video.html - "libdvdcss2" can be found at !Medibuntu or (for Feisty and earlier) http://wiki.ubuntu.com/SeveasPackages - Try k9copy (available in !Universe) for backing up DVDs | 11:06 |
| geirha | bsusa: btw chmod 777 is never a good idea to to | 11:06 |
| Finiras | so what is wrong about that command\ | 11:06 |
| AikonIV | I want to create a custom LiveCD with some user settings (like IM accounts in Pidgin etc). How should I set that up in the chroot environment? | 11:06 |

| dusty_ | Hey guys, I have just configured dual monitors in Ubuntu 8.04. Using ATI Radeon HD card and one 19inch CRT and one 22inch LCD. THe LCD has 1600x1050 and the 19" has 1680x1280 - I have done aticonfig --dtop=horizontal,reverse --overlay-on=1 and I am unable to drag windows from one screen to the next, i can move the mouse across both screens but not application windows, any idea how to get that working ? | 11:07 |
| bsusa | Distrojockey: just another thing is their a way of always having 777 permissiond in that folder if i copy new data to that location? | 11:07 |
| dusty_ | Or does it not work with different resolutions | 11:07 |
| ikonia | AikonIV: look in the . file in your home directory, eg: .gnome2 .pidgin etc, to understand how it's setup | 11:07 |
| orgthingy | hi | 11:07 |
| bsusa | geirha: Why is it a bad idea? | 11:07 |
| lusule | hi there, i'm having problems, certain applications have stopped working, as in i can't open them anymore, and i can't run scripts. unfortunately these are important programs like terminal and firefox | 11:07 |
| orgthingy | how can I make a "short-cut" command again? | 11:07 |
| DistroJockey | bsusa, as geirha said 777 is not a good idea | 11:07 |
| bsusa | but its just for a temp storage folder | 11:08 |
| bsusa | its only for one folder | 11:08 |
| Finiras | there is a readme that tells me to run this command to check for dependencies: make [config|menuconfig|xconfig]; make dep' BUT if i do that, all i get is >, and nothing happens. what am i doing wrong?? (i am trying to install a webcam driver) | 11:08 |
| bsusa | why would it be bad | 11:08 |
| AikonIV | ikonia: ok, but I want the files to be in the squashfs to load with the LiveCD. So I guess the question is how do I change the default files in the home directory for the live user? | 11:08 |
| geirha | bsusa: it gives everyone write access, you should put all users that need write-access into a group | 11:09 |
| bsusa | coul you explain please? | 11:09 |
| Blaqlight | geirha is right. | 11:09 |
| bsusa | yes understadable i know but its for a temp folder for everyone to access | 11:09 |
| bsusa | jus need them for this particular folder itsallgood | 11:10 |
| bsusa | thanks heaps guys | 11:10 |
| apinunt | mrtimdog: I don't see any samples of a good interfaces file in that, and we've looked at man interfaces, but are wanting to see what is really NEEDED in the file for everything to work. | 11:10 |
| assi | hello i have a big problem with sudo. Ive installed the hardy heron 8.04 64bit version and this version doesn't had a live CD installation only a text installation. So i installed it with the text and it asked me for a password i gave it ones and then after all it was installed and everytime i will update or change something it asked please passwort and then i write the passwort but then it tells me that : sudo deosnt allow me to use this prgram | 11:10 |
| Blaqlight | bsusa: if everyone has write access to a folder it defeats the purpose of security.. one of the main strengths of linux | 11:10 |
| ikonia | AikonIV: you change the files and compress them with squash FS | 11:10 |
| bsusa | i no but its just a temp folder man just copy on delete | 11:11 |

| anirudh0 | how do i set the ssh login shell on a remote machine? | 11:39 |
| anirudh0 | it defaults to tcsh ..i want bash | 11:39 |
| nich^ | run "chsh" from the remove machine and change it from there | 11:40 |
| nich^ | remote | 11:40 |
| anirudh0 | nich^, i need it to work on login | 11:40 |
| sCOTTo | ikonia: ok heres the low down - my xwindows isnt booting at all unless using recovery mode... the ubuntu Studio logo comes up and it freezes | 11:40 |
| nickolaus | Firefox is already running, but is not responding. To open a new window, you must first close the existing Firefox process, or restart your system. | 11:40 |
| geirha | anirudh0: yes, chsh (change shell) changes the login shell | 11:40 |
| anirudh0 | else i could always type "bash" in the remote machine | 11:40 |
| DRebellion | nickolaus, open a terminal, and enter: killall firefox | 11:41 |
| nickolaus | I keep getting that error when I try to load firefox. | 11:41 |
| anirudh0 | thanks | 11:41 |
| geirha | anirudh0: however, the ability to run chsh may be turned off if the admins of the remote servers are a bit paranoid | 11:41 |
| chriswr | geirha DistroJockey just wondering if it works in backtrack , trying to install it and had to delete file , thnx | 11:41 |
| lusule | how do i add a new user through the terminal if i can't access the user gui thing? | 11:42 |
| nickolaus | drebellion it's still giving me that error. | 11:42 |
| geirha | lusule: adduser --help | 11:42 |
| anirudh0 | yup..my admins are paranoid..cant run chsh | 11:42 |
| DRebellion | lusule, 'adduser' | 11:42 |
| hyperair | nickolaus: killall -9 firefox-bin | 11:42 |
| DistroJockey | chriswr, backtrack is a live cd only (and is not ubuntu) | 11:42 |
| Adondai | Blaqlight, is there a way? | 11:42 |
| lusule | geirha, if i need to give it full admin access like my default user? | 11:42 |
| anirudh0 | i added /bin/bash to .ssh/rc..that did'nt work...says /bin/bash ..command not found | 11:42 |
| chriswr | DistroJockey: but you can still install on hdd | 11:42 |
| DRebellion | lusule, you need to edit /etc/sudoers using 'visudo' | 11:43 |
| nich^ | anirudh0: you edit .bashrc and add 'tsch' to the bottom | 11:43 |
| hyperair | anirudh0: figure out the location of bash by typing "which bash" | 11:43 |
| DRebellion | anirudh0, what are you trying to do? | 11:43 |
| lusule | DRebellion, thanks | 11:43 |
| anirudh0 | its /bin/bash only..however i still get command not found | 11:43 |
| chriswr | DistroJockey: etleast thats what ive read and trying to figure out ,(and no its not ubuntu , but it is linux , and most of the linux systems are somewhat alike) | 11:43 |
| nickolaus | hyperair it keeps saying no process killed. | 11:43 |
| anirudh0 | DRebellion, i want to run in bash | 11:43 |

| TemplePrime | is there a way I can use a ubuntu server edition to do network logon on several windows vista boxes? | 11:45 |
| jmunro | stop watch isnt really accurate enough | 11:45 |
| nich^ | If that admin won't install bash, could you install bash locally I think | 11:45 |
| DRebellion | jmunro, 'dmesg' | 11:45 |
| geirha | lusule: if you want the user to have the exact same access, run "groups yourusername" and "groups thenewusername" and compare. Then "sudo adduser username anothergroup" to add the user to another group | 11:45 |
| DRebellion | nich^, you could compile bash and use it without insalling it | 11:46 |
| lusule | geirha, thanks a load :) now i need to log into that account and see if i can find the source of my problme :( | 11:46 |
| TemplePrime | is there a way I can use a ubuntu server edition to do network logon on several windows vista boxes? | 11:47 |

| geirha | lusule: what problem is that? | 11:48 |
| hyperair | nickolaus: how about --set-selections | 11:48 |
| geirha | nickolaus: get-selections to get the selections, set-selections to _set_ the selections | 11:48 |
| DRebellion | jmunro, it depends what you define as booted. | 11:48 |
| DRebellion | peppo, what's the error? | 11:49 |
| jmunro | DRebellion: to a useable desktop (login is automatic) | 11:49 |
| DRebellion | jmunro, write a script that writes a message to the system log, and then have it run as the last item of your session. | 11:50 |
| anirudh0 | i added /bin/bash to ~/.tcshrc | 11:50 |
| anirudh0 | until the admin changes in /etc/passwd | 11:50 |

| hyperair | chrisfromgreece: go search www.openprinting.org | 11:53 |
| TemplePrime | DRebellion, how would I do it? | 11:53 |
| DRebellion | TemplePrime, huh? | 11:53 |
| DRebellion | TemplePrime, oh, right. Set up a DNS server. | 11:54 |
| DRebellion | TemplePrime, like BIND | 11:54 |
| TemplePrime | DRebellion, problem is I got a dynamic IP | 11:54 |
| DRebellion | TemplePrime, you said it was internal | 11:54 |
| TemplePrime | DRebellion, well, yeah, it is internal, but I want it sometimes to access the net from some network | 11:55 |
| hyperair | TemplePrime: are we talking domain as in the usual sense, or are we talking windows domains? | 11:55 |
| TemplePrime | hyperair, well, I would like to enforce a more strict policy on a windows vista by a domain logon ... | 11:55 |
| nickolaus_ | it doesn't seem to be installing. | 11:55 |
| JoL | how can i see the ports that my app is using? | 11:56 |
| hyperair | TemplePrime: go read up about samba. it can be done. i'm not sure how | 11:56 |
| lusule | geirha, i guess you have no clue then :( | 11:56 |
| sinbox | what would be the path to firefox for a safe mode start in 7.10? | 11:56 |
| DRebellion | TemplePrime, oh right. You don't want a domain as in DNS. | 11:56 |
| mrtimdog | JoL: lsof -p <pid> | 11:56 |
| geirha | lusule: that sure is odd. Try logging in as root with "sudo -i" and compare the two users environment with this (switch user1 and user2 with correct usernames): diff -u <(sudo -u user1 bash -l -c 'export') <(sudo -u user2 bash -l -c 'export') | 11:56 |
| nickolaus_ | geirha it doesn't seem to be installing. | 11:58 |
| TemplePrime | DRebellion, yeah :p | 11:58 |
| nickolaus_ | do I have to restart? | 11:58 |
| TemplePrime | DRebellion, for other type of domain I have dyndns :p | 11:58 |
| DRebellion | TemplePrime, you should make that more clear when you ask. And why are you asking in #ubuntu about windows "domains"? | 11:58 |
| geirha | nickolaus_: does it return you to the prompt or is it "hanging"? | 11:59 |
| TemplePrime | Drebellion, some guy told me it can be done with samba :p | 11:59 |
| nickolaus_ | it returns a prompt. | 11:59 |
| nickolaus_ | geirha it returns a prompt but I'm missing installs. | 12:00 |
| nickolaus_ | geirha do I have to restart? | 12:00 |
| geirha | nickolaus_: no error messages? restart shouldn't be necessary | 12:00 |
| nickolaus_ | geirha no error, just goes to another command prompt. | 12:00 |
| nickolaus_ | geirha | 12:01 |
| nickolaus_ | geirha sudo dpkg --set-selections < /home/nickolaus/Desktop/my-package | 12:01 |
| nickolaus_ | is what I'm typing. | 12:01 |
| lusule | geirha, i rebooted and again, and this time it seems to be working... | 12:01 |
| lusule | geirha, i really wish i knew what was going on, but at least it seems to work now >< | 12:02 |
| Houli | How do I remove the About Ubuntu program in Xubuntu? | 12:02 |
| geirha | lusule: you're not out of space btw? "df -h" | 12:02 |
| lusule | geirha, what does that mean? | 12:02 |
| sinbox | what would be the path to firefox for a safe mode start in 7.10? would it be: ~/usr/lib/firefox/firefox-bin -safe-mode ?? | 12:02 |
| geirha | nickolaus_: that looks correct. You uninstalled a previously installed package, and expect that command to reinstall it right? | 12:03 |
| geirha | lusule: you get strange problems if your /home or / filesystems are full | 12:03 |
| nickolaus_ | geirha yes | 12:04 |
| lusule | geirha, ah no, i have plenty of space | 12:04 |
| nickolaus_ | geirha but I'm missing things like vlc and so on. | 12:04 |
| mib_fpxuhr | Hi :) Anyone know how I can use konversation(irc client) through my isp, which blocks irc traffic? Currently I'm using mibbit, it is a web interface to an irc proxy. But, I want the abilities of the konqueror client, just tunneling through an irc proxy, perhaps. Any suggestions? | 12:04 |
| DRebellion | mib_fpxuhr, get a new isp. | 12:05 |
| wols_ | you will need a proxy outside the reach of your ISP or use a different port | 12:05 |
| mib_fpxuhr | dreb - not possible | 12:05 |
| geirha | nickolaus_: "grep ^vlc ~/Desktop/my-package ; aptitude search '~i ^vlc$'" << that should show two lines regarding vlc | 12:05 |
| DRebellion | mib_fpxuhr, why? you shouldn't put up with them screwing you about. | 12:05 |
| === _saw is now known as saw | ||
| mib_fpxuhr | wols - so, you know of any such service? | 12:05 |
| === saw is now known as _saw | ||
| wols_ | public proxies are useless | 12:06 |
| mib_fpxuhr | dreb - they are a good deal otherwise, & ther should be a simple solution. Do you have any suggestions about how to accomplish that? | 12:06 |
| sinbox | mib_fpxuhr, do they block a single port or a range of them? | 12:07 |
| mib_fpxuhr | sinb - don't know - does it matter for a solution? | 12:08 |
| sinbox | if they only block the 6667 port most server use other ports too so yes | 12:08 |

| chriswr | bazhang: k , but it wont show the file that im wanting to delete | 12:11 |
| nickolaus | okay here is an interesting one. I try to launch firefox via my GUI and it says I have to close firefox. I try and kill it in firefox and it says no process killed then I try and load it via term and it loads. how do I get it to load without using terminal? | 12:12 |
| gooody | can't update ubuntu hardy. does somebody has similar problem? | 12:12 |
| chriswr | geirha: why wont it show the file im wanting to delet? | 12:12 |
| krazihrz | nickolaus: ps -ef | grep mozilla | 12:13 |
| bazhang | gooody, could you paste sources.list to paste.ubuntu.com | 12:13 |
| DistroJockey | chriswr, did you try ctrl+h as I suggested right after you asked the first time (and before you said you are running Backtrack) | 12:13 |
| sinbox | nickolaus, what is the path to firefox to launch it in terminal please? | 12:13 |
| geirha | chriswr: you need to browse to your home directory | 12:13 |
| gooody | bazhang: for a while | 12:14 |
| chriswr | DistroJockey: yes (this is on my desktop computer btw , backtrack is on my laptop) but nothing came up | 12:14 |
| nickolaus | sinbox I just type sudo firefox | 12:14 |
| chriswr | geirha ill try that | 12:14 |
| krazihrz | nickolaus: why sudo? | 12:14 |
| geirha | chriswr: choose filesystem in the left margin, then "home" -> "yourusername" -> "Desktop" | 12:14 |
| gooody | bazhang: how can i open sources.list? | 12:15 |
| nickolaus | krazihrz it doesn't load without the sudo. If I try to load without it I get an error saying that firefox is already running and I have to restart. | 12:15 |
| geirha | sinbox: just type firefox. "which firefox" will show the full path | 12:15 |
| bazhang | gooody, cat /etc/apt/sources.list and paste to paste.ubuntu.com (not here) | 12:15 |
| chriswr | geirha: allright , that got it , thnx a lot | 12:15 |
| sinbox | D'oh! thanks nickolaus | 12:15 |
| mib_fpxuhr | Any other suggestions for IRC proxy servers that I can access through http ports & will transfer my konqueror irc traffic to correct irc ports? | 12:15 |
| krazihrz | nickolaus: then you need to find that process and kill it | 12:15 |
| krazihrz | nickolaus: either that or a lock file somewhere | 12:16 |
| krazihrz | nickolaus : ps -ef | grep firefox | 12:16 |
| gordboy | this is a deadly serious question. and i want a definitive answer, in fact i DEMAND one. when are the current maintainers going to be shown the door ? there are plenty of capable people who want to help fix the current disaster area that is hardy. they are being denied access, to protect the reputations of the current "maintainers" | 12:16 |

| gordboy | bazhang: like hell it is. it is the most on-topic question in the whole of *buntu | 12:17 |
| geirha | nickolaus: that's because the firefox profile is now owned by root, so after running it with sudo once, you can't run it without sudo again | 12:17 |
| gnomefreak | gordboy: it is and please join #ubuntu-offtopic | 12:17 |
| gordboy | gnomefreak: if you can't or won't answer, then keep silent | 12:17 |

| geirha | nickolaus: "sudo chown -R $USER:$USER ~/.mozilla" should make it run without sudo again though | 12:18 |

| burhan | hypn0: its a bug fix probably. | 12:25 |
| geirha | axel_s: are you sure you are accessing the correct device node? double check with the output of "sudo fdisk -l" | 12:26 |
| bazhang | gooody, could you pastebin output of sudo apt-get update and sudo apt-get upgrade in paste.ubuntu.com please | 12:26 |
| Jon__ | I have a wierd but maybe obvious networking problem if anyone is able to lend an ear? | 12:27 |
| gordonjcp | !ask | Jon__ | 12:27 |
| ubottu | Jon__: 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. :-) | 12:27 |
| Jon__ | fairly recently, ping, ssh, rlogin has stopped working to a few machines on the network from my machine only | 12:28 |
| Jon__ | however, the dns name is resolved, traceroute works..... | 12:28 |
| _dennister | g'morning channel...is anyone using the envy drivers yet for legacy nvidia cards? | 12:28 |
| Jon__ | and other machines see and can login fine | 12:28 |
| bazhang | _dennister, you mean envyng-gtk? | 12:28 |
| remoteCTR1 | _dennister: i tryed it but it f***ed my system | 12:28 |
| _dennister | more importantly, how well is it working? | 12:28 |
| Jon__ | btw Im not using any firewalls on my ubuntu box | 12:28 |
| gnomefreak | !anyone | _dennister | 12:28 |
| ubottu | _dennister: 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? | 12:28 |
| _dennister | bazhang: i guess so | 12:28 |
| axel_s | geirha, seems all is correct: http://ubuntu.pastebin.com/d7d0913c | 12:29 |
| gnomefreak | _dennister: just install nvidia-legacy (or what ever the name is) | 12:29 |
| remoteCTR1 | nvidia-glx-new | 12:29 |
| gnomefreak | remoteCTR1: not for legacy | 12:29 |
| _dennister | i just tried the proprietary nvdia driver, resolution is only 800x600 and can't go higher...with nv driver it was 1500 x? | 12:29 |
| remoteCTR1 | even better just activate the checkbox in hardware | 12:30 |
| axel_s | geirha, hmm, I had to specify -t ntfs with mount | 12:30 |
| axel_s | geirha, strangely it tried to mount as reiser... | 12:30 |
| remoteCTR1 | _dennister: did you download them from the homepage or how did you isntall them? | 12:30 |
| threedaymonk | I did an update (foolishly following backports) this morning, and I've lost my network devices since restarting! No eth0 or ath0 or wifi0. I've tried a couple of known good kernels, but the same result. Nothing obvious in dmesg that I can see. | 12:30 |
| gnomefreak | _dennister: you need to run the script to remove the kernel restricted modules the script built | 12:30 |
| AdvoWork | when running a bash script, can you not verbose whats going on? | 12:31 |
| gnomefreak | _dennister: i dont remember the flag to do it though | 12:31 |
| _dennister | i installed it by marking the checkbox...although that didn't work too well, so i changed the xorg.conf file from 'nv' to 'nvidia', rebooted, and it is active | 12:31 |
| gnomefreak | AdvoWork: -v | 12:31 |
| sipior | AdvoWork: yes, try the -x switch | 12:31 |
| bishybashy | ERM | 12:31 |
| bishybashy | hai guys | 12:31 |
| Jon__ | anyone any ideas on my ping fails but dns lookup works problem? | 12:32 |
| bishybashy | is there a way to repair a network like in xp for ubuntu? | 12:32 |
| geirha | axel_s: check if you have an entry with that device node in /etc/fstab | 12:32 |
| === bash3ll is now known as _bash3ll_ | ||
| remoteCTR1 | _dennister: so nvidia-glx-new only gave you 800x600? | 12:32 |
| gnomefreak | --verbose is always a failsafe | 12:32 |
| gnomefreak | remoteCTR1: he cant use those | 12:33 |
| remoteCTR1 | _dennister: how did you try to change the resolution? | 12:33 |
| remoteCTR1 | gnomefreak: why not? | 12:33 |
| _dennister | remoteCTR1: nvidia-glx-legacy only gave me 800x600 | 12:33 |
| gnomefreak | remoteCTR1: he asked about legacy | 12:33 |
| axel_s | geirha, nope :-( | 12:33 |
| _dennister | it's a geforce2 card | 12:33 |
| gnomefreak | _dennister: what card version | 12:34 |
| gnomefreak | _dennister: 5200? is one example | 12:34 |
| gooody | bazhang: sudo apt-get update http://paste.ubuntu.com/31697/ | 12:34 |
| remoteCTR1 | ok im confused guys you just said you made the hook in the checkbox? | 12:34 |
| bishybashy | guys? | 12:34 |
| gooody | bazhang: sudo apt-get upgrade http://paste.ubuntu.com/31698/ | 12:34 |
| _dennister | gnomefreak: not sure...should have written down the message comes up at boot...it's an old Elsa Gladiac card | 12:34 |
| ActionParsnip | lo all | 12:34 |
| bishybashy | i have a wired ethernet connection, the card works but my internet doesn't | 12:34 |
| geirha | axel_s: hm, sounds like a bug then ... report it at launchpad.net if you have the time | 12:34 |
| ActionParsnip | sup bishybashy | 12:35 |
| gnomefreak | _dennister: use pastebin to paste the results of lspci | 12:35 |
| remoteCTR1 | _dennister: gnomefreak ok im out of that conversation :D | 12:35 |
| bishybashy | on xp i had to right click the connection and go repair and internet worked after that, how would i do that on ubuntu? | 12:35 |

| _dennister | will do in a sec | 12:35 |

| Adondai | why doesnt linux get fragmented? | 12:36 |
| remoteCTR1 | bishybashy: with sudo infront of it | 12:36 |
| Adondai | *fragmented much* | 12:36 |
| osfameron | Adondai: have you *seen* how many distros there are... oh you didn't mean *that* sort of fragementation? ;-P | 12:36 |
| ActionParsnip | Adondai: the access to the files is fragmented so its not noticed | 12:36 |
| _dennister | http://paste.ubuntu.com/31700/ | 12:37 |

| ubottu | Adondai: The default Ubuntu filesystem (ext3) is engineered to avoid fragmentation issues in most cases, see http://linkpot.net/behead/ for a simple example on how it achieves this. | 12:37 |
| bishybashy | hmm | 12:37 |
| bishybashy | who to listen to lol? | 12:37 |
| DistroJockey | Adondai, ohh, site is down :( | 12:37 |
| bishybashy | dhclient eth0 or sudo /etc/init.d/network restart | 12:37 |
| bishybashy | :O | 12:37 |
| deanm | Adondai:because it's not windoze :) really it's something to do with the way a unix/linux ftle system works | 12:38 |
| ActionParsnip | Adondai: windows writes vey poorly to the drive so fragmentation occurs, plus idiots dont make a seperate partition for temp and pagefile which makes it so much worse | 12:38 |
| remoteCTR1 | bishybashy: both ways accomplish the sam so just pick one of them | 12:38 |

| AdvoWork | hmm, if im normally doing: vim 1st.txt then :%s/''/null/g then :%s/,null'/,'/g for say 10 files. Is there an easier way than that without opening the original file in the first place | 12:40 |
| _dennister | ok | 12:40 |
| AlmightyCthulhu | I need someone that knows both Chinese and English, to help me translate something | 12:40 |
| AlmightyCthulhu | if they could do a favor | 12:40 |
| ActionParsnip | gooody: the medibunt repo is dead | 12:40 |

| bsusa | hello all i would just like to know how i can save the settings on my nvidia settings in ubuntu for my video output when i adjust the screen and stretch it to tv specs? | 12:41 |
| DistroJockey | krazihrz, type /topic | 12:41 |
| gooody | ActionParsnip: thanks for the help. sad to know that. | 12:41 |
| _dennister | be right back...stepping outside for 5 to have a cancer stick | 12:41 |
| krazihrz | DistroJockey: way to kill the sarcasm | 12:42 |

| ubottu | gooody: medibuntu is a repository of packages that cannot be included into the Ubuntu distribution for legal reasons - See http://www.medibuntu.org | 12:42 |
| sipior | AdvoWork: yes, have a look at sed. "man sed" | 12:42 |
| lusule | hi again :) how do i open the printer options through the terminal? | 12:42 |
| DistroJockey | krazihrz, sarcasm rarely works in text very well ;P | 12:42 |
| DistroJockey | krazihrz, especially if you don't direct your reply | 12:44 |
| AdvoWork | sipior so i can do: sed -f 1st.txt yet i dont know the regular expression for it, as normally i use vims :%s/''/null/g | 12:44 |
| krazihrz | DistroJockey: I didn't want to make anyone feel bad, i'm the subtle warrior | 12:44 |
| sipior | AdvoWork: sed -e "s/\"/null/g" < filename should do it, i believe | 12:45 |
| Jon__ | ok, so I have a networking problem with my ubuntu box, fairly recently I have not been able to ping, rlogin, ssh or in any way connect to a few select machines on our LAN with the rest working fine, but a traceroute runs and the dns name is resolved fine. on these machines nslookup reports a 'non authoritative' answer but this is also reported on other machines I can connect to fine so probably doesn't mean much. no firewalls running .....any thoug | 12:45 |
| Jon__ | hts? | 12:45 |
| junglecrazd1 | howdy all | 12:45 |
| junglecrazd1 | i am on gnome here, and using amarok, but can it rip a cd? | 12:45 |
| ActionParsnip | Jon__: try rebooting your router and then all your pc's | 12:46 |
| StaticX | hello | 12:46 |
| StaticX | can i ask something | 12:46 |
| StaticX | ? | 12:46 |
| ActionParsnip | Jon__: if its practical | 12:46 |
| sipior | Jon__: a traceroute runs, but a ping doesn't work? that sounds inconsistent... | 12:46 |
| DistroJockey | !ask | StaticX | 12:46 |
| ubottu | StaticX: 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. :-) | 12:46 |
| Jon__ | well its the work network and other machines on the network have no problems, my machine has been rebooted lots since this has been happenning | 12:46 |
| StaticX | ok.. | 12:47 |
| StaticX | sudo update-rc.d modem-startup default - how can i do this in ubuntu 8.04 ? | 12:47 |
| gnomefreak | _dennister: i think that is legacy but not really sure on the gts/pro | 12:47 |
| ActionParsnip | Jon__: did you reboot the interconnection devices? It may help | 12:47 |
| sipior | Jon__: also, are you sure the target machines are running sshd? do you get a "connection refused" error? | 12:47 |
| ActionParsnip | Jon__: resets all routing tables etc | 12:47 |
| lusule | can anyone help me figuring out if/how to setup my printer? | 12:48 |

| lusule | ActionParsnip, thanks | 12:48 |
| cchance | Anyone know why im getting litle clicks out of my laptop speakers when playing music? or for that matter anything? | 12:48 |
| AdvoWork | sipior i dont think that did anything, well it didnt seem to replace '' with null :/ | 12:48 |
| Jon__ | I have tried completely resetting iptables, ufw is turned off, and the machine goes through the same route other machines do that have no problems. I think it must have come in after an update as it was working problem free previously... | 12:49 |
| axel_s | about samba: my windows machine asks for a password when connecting to my linux/samba machine... but my username and password of the linux machine don't work | 12:49 |
| lordchavez | hi all | 12:49 |
| cchance | are my laptop speakers broken? | 12:49 |
| ActionParsnip | Jon__: id reboot whatever is in the middle controlling the routing | 12:49 |
| lordchavez | is some1 experienced in KDE4 ? | 12:49 |
| sipior | AdvoWork: works on my system just fine. it dumped a fair bit to the terminal, did it not? | 12:49 |
| lordchavez | plz qry me | 12:49 |
| ActionParsnip | cchance: does it click when you turn the volume down in software. | 12:50 |
| cchance | no if its muted it wont play at all | 12:50 |
| ActionParsnip | lordchavez: wassup? | 12:50 |
| ActionParsnip | cchance: not muted, just lower it | 12:50 |
| _dennister | gnomefreak: so it's the fault of checking the box on the hardware driver's dialog...it said legacy, but perhaps it should be the newer one, non-legacy? or it just doesn't know this card well enough? | 12:50 |
| cchance | or i mean if its on last audio level it wont do it | 12:50 |
| cchance | i got it on the third one and i hear it | 12:51 |
| axel_s | in preferences there used to be a tool call "sharing" where i could configure samba service... | 12:51 |
| gnomefreak | _dennister: no its the drivers you got from nvidia you need to find out the command from the run script you downloaded from nvidia to get rid of the modules it built | 12:51 |
| Jon__ | well the connection goes through a pretty standard 48 port switch which we have loads of in the company, rebooting it isnt really an option as there are tons of other machines on it. Id dont understand why it is so specific to just a few machines on the network? | 12:51 |
| AdvoWork | sipior dumped some stuff to the terminal, but original line is: INSERT INTO table VALUE (1,'test','','','','','','','test2',2); after i run that command, it shows: INSERT INTO table VALUE (1,'test','','','','','','','test2',2); still and hasnt replaced '' | 12:52 |
| _dennister | I've had this same problem, not getting high enough resolutions, with other pc's I've rebuilt....resulting in 'nv' driver workiing better than proprietary | 12:52 |
| ActionParsnip | cchance: sounds like your volumes are too high | 12:52 |
| cchance | ActionParsnip: im playing music with amarok right now and that al i hear. My system startup sound is gone as well | 12:52 |
| lordchavez | ActionParsnip: i want to have the widgets only in the dashboard not on screen all the time | 12:52 |
| cchance | ActionParsnip: doubt it | 12:52 |
| cchance | ActionParsnip: it used to play before now i dont know whats going on | 12:52 |
| sipior | AdvoWork: could you type the line exactly as you typed it at the terminal? | 12:52 |
| ActionParsnip | !kde4 | lordchavez | 12:52 |
| Jon__ | but overall, that would mean rebooting the master bigiron switch that controls the entire production network..dont think they would be happy if I rebooted that :) | 12:52 |
| ubottu | lordchavez: KDE 4.0.5 is the latest major release of the K Desktop Environment. Packages can be found at http://kubuntu.org/announcements/kde-4.0.5.php - Support in #kubuntu-kde4 | 12:52 |
| lordchavez | ActionParsnip: kde yeah?! | 12:53 |
| lordchavez | ActionParsnip: kde 4yeah?! | 12:53 |
| _dennister | gnomefreak: so how do I "find out the command from the run script you downloaded from nvidia to get rid of the modules it built" | 12:53 |
| lusule | according to the walkthrough on printing you linked, i should be able to choose 'wireless setup wizard' from the printer setup menu - i don't seem to have this option :( | 12:53 |
| axel_s | sorry, but my connection broke.. anyone replied to my samba questions? | 12:53 |
| lordchavez | dont need the packages | 12:53 |
| AdvoWork | sipior yeah its: sed -e "s/\"/null/g" < /var/dir/temp/testreplace/1.txt | 12:53 |
| Jon__ | so nothing obvious comes to mind? im pretty confident its not an infrastructure thing, I think its something to do with my ubuntu box | 12:53 |
| ActionParsnip | lordchavez: yeah for kde4 | 12:53 |
| ActionParsnip | cchance: http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=770213 | 12:54 |
| cchance | ok | 12:54 |
| lordchavez | ActionParsnip: what do u want to tell me? | 12:54 |
| sipior | AdvoWork: and that didn't put the corrected version on the terminal? mind, that won't change the file itself, you'll want to save the results via redirection. | 12:55 |
| ActionParsnip | lordchavez: you need to go into kubuntu-kde4 | 12:55 |
| sipior | AdvoWork: actually, could you just pastebin the whole terminal session? that would simpler, i think. | 12:55 |
| cyphase | anyone have any ideas for what to do with a process that refuses to die? | 12:55 |
| ActionParsnip | lordchavez: this is ubuntu not kubuntu-kde4 | 12:55 |
| Gillpy_ | cyphase: kill it's parent | 12:55 |

| cyphase | ActionParsnip: tried that | 12:56 |
| bishybashy | i did sudo /etc/init.d/networking restart | 12:56 |
| Gillpy_ | cyphase: is it a zombie | 12:56 |
| bishybashy | starts a whole lotta stuff but says network down | 12:56 |
| bishybashy | O.o | 12:56 |
| sipior | AdvoWork: could you pastebin the contents of the file, and the terminal session? | 12:56 |
| cyphase | Gillpy_: it's taking up a lot of processing power | 12:56 |
| cyphase | Gillpy_: or else i wouldn't care | 12:57 |
| ActionParsnip | bishybashy: check your network config | 12:57 |
| bishybashy | i made it automatic | 12:57 |
| cchance | ActionParsnip: i oubt its anything to do with the cpu or any of that because it was woring just fine last week | 12:57 |
| DistroJockey | cyphase, tried the following: sudo killall program-name | 12:57 |
| AdvoWork | sipior think its ok, for some reason the '' werent copying properly, but now, it outputs fine, but doesnt save the contents? can i save it back in the same file? | 12:57 |
| ActionParsnip | bishybashy: check connections | 12:57 |
| cyphase | DistroJockey: tried that | 12:57 |
| bishybashy | where/how ? | 12:57 |
| ActionParsnip | bishybashy: ifconfig or iwconfig if its wireless | 12:58 |
| _dennister | i hate this xorg in hardy :( | 12:58 |
| DistroJockey | cyphase, what process is it? | 12:58 |
| bishybashy | wired | 12:58 |
| sipior | AdvoWork: no, save to a new file, then move it to where you want. so: sed -e "s/\"/null/g" < input > ouput | 12:58 |
| bishybashy | i have done that | 12:58 |
| Gillpy_ | cyphase: you can't kill zombies unless you kill their parent or reboot. It will have a Z next to it in top() if it is a zombie | 12:58 |
| ugnis | hello | 12:58 |
| bishybashy | do you want the output? | 12:58 |
| ActionParsnip | bishybashy: please | 12:58 |
| cyphase | DistroJockey: totem | 12:58 |
| AdvoWork | sipior is there any reason why i cant use the same file though? | 12:58 |
| ActionParsnip | _dennister: its the same in all Linuxes | 12:58 |

| Terminator | I set in menu.lst the default to "saved" so that it automatically starts windows at startup and not ubuntu | 13:04 |
| Terminator | now he updated | 13:04 |
| Terminator | and it auto-starts memtest.. | 13:05 |
| Terminator | any ideas | 13:05 |
| Terminator | ?? | 13:05 |
| ActionParsnip | bishybashy: /etc/network/interfaces | 13:05 |
| ActionParsnip | bishybashy: rename it something so it still exists but wont be used as its the wrong name :) | 13:05 |
| _dennister | burhan: thanks | 13:06 |
| bishybashy | what'll this do? | 13:06 |
| DJones | Terminator: You need to edit your menu.lst and change the number of the entry to start, if the kernel has been updated, there'll be a new entry at the top which means that windows will have moved one place further down | 13:06 |
| bishybashy | sorry if i sound rude lol | 13:06 |
| cyphase | DistroJockey: i guess i'll just restart. i was trying to fix the problem without restarting, especially since my computer's been on ~21.5 days. but i have a few updates i need to restart for anyway, and there's a hard drive i need to take out out, so.. | 13:06 |
| AdvoWork | sipior not in the directory, i do: sed -e "s/''/null/g" < /var/www/intranet/temp/testreplace/1.txt > 1.txt and it now does nothing, doesnt overwrite the file, but doesnt change it either | 13:06 |
| cyphase | take out,* | 13:06 |
| sipior | AdvoWork: do you have write permission in the current directory? | 13:07 |
| DistroJockey | cyphase, yeah, sounds like the best option :) | 13:07 |
| === VERA_AN is now known as co_wwwwwwww | ||
| AdvoWork | sipior yeah, i chmod 777 the file just incase | 13:07 |
| mar77i | hi, what exactly does the 0x80 in "root (0x80,0)" mean? | 13:07 |
| gnomefreak | _dennister: if it doesnt have a readme file or a help flag than someone in here might know or you can go to nvidia.com and look for it | 13:07 |
| Terminator | Well DJones I didnt set a number, but I set the default to "saved" and windows xp is the savededault I think.. | 13:07 |
| sipior | AdvoWork: not the file. the current working directory. did your command produce a new file, called 1.txt, in the current directory? | 13:08 |
| ActionParsnip | bishybashy: your system will see the file missing and make a default one, then you can config from there | 13:08 |
| AdvoWork | sipior doh! yeah, of course, i shouldave specified the full path, i was checking the original directory | 13:08 |
| bishybashy | action: i haven't changed anything in the original file | 13:08 |
| bishybashy | :/ | 13:08 |
| DJones | Terminator: It might just be that the numbers/positions have changed after an update and the saved position hasn't been updated and will manually need changing | 13:09 |
| _dennister | ok, gonna have to restart x...cya later | 13:09 |
| * mrHiggins is having sound card driver issues :( | 13:09 | |
| AdvoWork | sipior so now ive specified the full path, it totally empties the output file | 13:09 |
| cchance | .me and mrHiggins are in the same boat | 13:09 |
| sipior | AdvoWork: right, because the output file is now the same as the input file. do yourself a favour, and give the output a slightly different name as the input... | 13:09 |
| mrHiggins | what card(s), cchance? | 13:10 |
| ActionParsnip | bishybashy: is it wired or wireless? | 13:10 |
| AdvoWork | sipior yea, could do, its just that other scripts rely on that name so i'd have to output to a different directory, then rename | 13:10 |
| cchance | mrHiggins, realtek High Deffinition | 13:10 |
| cchance | Ac98 or something like that | 13:10 |
| sipior | AdvoWork: that's easy enough. | 13:10 |

| DistroJockey | mar77i, you have a Solid State Drive? | 13:11 |
| Terminator | DJones, can I post it in a pastebin, so you could take a look? | 13:11 |
| ActionParsnip | Terminator: you dont have to ask to use pastebin | 13:11 |
| mrHiggins | did you check into oss yet? | 13:11 |
| AdvoWork | sipior works fine if i specify diff directory :0 | 13:11 |
| AdvoWork | :) even | 13:11 |
| Terminator | well, the question was more if he would look | 13:11 |
| Terminator | ;) | 13:11 |
| bishybashy | action | 13:11 |
| mrHiggins | i'm not sure if it will work for your card but it's worth a read.... | 13:11 |
| mar77i | DistroJockey, might be the case. does hd1 work in another entry though? | 13:12 |
| ActionParsnip | bishybashy: try pressing tab to autocomplete my nick | 13:12 |
| DJones | Terminator: I'm just about to go away from the computer for 15 minutes, put it in pastebin though, i'm sure somebody will be able to help, if not, I'll have a look in a bit | 13:12 |
| w0jrl | hello all | 13:12 |
| AdvoWork | sipior so im assuming: sed -e "s/,null'/,'/g" is also valid? | 13:12 |
| DistroJockey | mar77i, this is what made me ask: http://forum.eeeuser.com/viewtopic.php?pid=312492 | 13:12 |
| bishybashy | ActionParsnip: is there a point in renaming if i haven't modified original file? | 13:12 |
| cchance | ActionPasnip, it doesnt display my card for an odd reason | 13:12 |
| DistroJockey | mar77i, apart from that, no idea sorry | 13:12 |
| ActionParsnip | bishybashy: no, no need now | 13:12 |
| ActionParsnip | bishybashy: just make sure you have the lines | 13:13 |
| ActionParsnip | bishybashy: auto eth0 | 13:13 |
| ActionParsnip | iface eth0 inet dhcp | 13:13 |
| ActionParsnip | bishybashy: if its for eth0 | 13:13 |
| sipior | AdvoWork: yes, but that will look for a different pattern than before. | 13:13 |
| cchance | mrHiggins, thats the only one that i get sound from in the sound properties | 13:13 |
| bishybashy | ActionParsnip: where i put those? /etc/network/interfaces? | 13:13 |
| mrHiggins | cchance: i havent even had that much luck | 13:14 |
| ActionParsnip | bishybashy: indeed, you'll need gksu gedit /etc/network/interfaces | 13:14 |
| matholio | hey all, I just installed ubuntu, on a second drive, dual booting with vista/xp on drive 1. after an easy install, and a reboot, it does not boot to grub. and I can't boot to drive 2. any ideas ? | 13:14 |
| AdvoWork | sipior yeah thats right then, ok 2 more brief questions, if it finds no matches, it wont error will it, and lastly, can i do both of those sed -e "s/,null'/,'/g" and sed -e "s/''/null/g" at the same time? | 13:14 |
| bishybashy | ActionParsnip: Sorry I am lost? Bare in mind I am new to all this | 13:15 |
| divisionpoint | Good morning folks. I've got a client with a ThinkPad T21 with Hardy installed. Worked fine when I sent it out to him (he's in Los Angeles, I'm in Washington DC area). Worked fine there as well, until I was trying to remote VNC into the machine. vncviewer gave me a tiny bit of the top bar of one program, then it made his screen go crazy (sounds like Xorg problem) and now when he tries to login, he gets a black screen with | 13:15 |
| ActionParsnip | bishybashy: you'll need the gksu gedit command to open the file as root, then type the 2 lines in | 13:15 |
| sipior | AdvoWork: no, no error. you can concatenate patterns by specifying multiple -e stanzas: sed -e "s/null/g" -e "s/\"/null/g" | 13:16 |
| bishybashy | where i get that? | 13:16 |
| ActionParsnip | bishybashy: get what? | 13:16 |
| bishybashy | that gksu gedit comand | 13:17 |
| ActionParsnip | bishybashy: you need to run terminal and type it | 13:17 |
| bishybashy | ActionParsnip: So one last time, boot ubuntu, open terminal type gksu gedit? then what 2 commands | 13:18 |
| cchance | how do i force my system down? I just told it to reboot 3 minutes ago and im still here | 13:19 |
| ActionParsnip | bishybashy: after gedit runs, open /etc/network/interfaces and add those 2 lines | 13:19 |
| ActionParsnip | bishybashy: then save and exit | 13:19 |

| wols_ | seanh: ubuntu comes with all needeed drivers by default | 13:20 |
| AdvoWork | sipior and how does it handle multiple ones, do all of the first, and then the 2nd? or 1 then 2 then 1 then 2? | 13:20 |
| bishybashy | lol what 2 lines to add | 13:21 |

| DJones | Terminator: As DistroJockey just suggested, I'd change to 6 or maybe 7 | 13:30 |

| bishybashy | sigh | 13:30 |
| bishybashy | this is frustrating | 13:31 |
| bishybashy | my internet still isn't working :o | 13:31 |
| xnv | Clearly | 13:31 |
| seanh | wols_ it seems the be using the mesa driver instead of the intel one, but what is the correct way to change the driver? | 13:31 |
| * x3 agrees with bishybashy | 13:31 | |
| DistroJockey | DJones, yeah, not sure if that title for Other OS's is counted :) | 13:31 |
| bishybashy | on ubuntu boot | 13:31 |
| bishybashy | i'm on xp boot now | 13:31 |

| bishybashy | so | 13:32 |
| bishybashy | is there a way to fix my internet? | 13:33 |
| DistroJockey | DJones, aye, same as my thinking | 13:33 |
| x3 | bishybashy | 13:33 |
| bishybashy | ? | 13:33 |
| x3 | so u boot into linu and your connection is lost to internet | 13:33 |
| bishybashy | well when i boot with xp i have to repair the network connection for network/internet to work properly | 13:34 |
| bishybashy | and with ubuntu i dunno how to do this | 13:34 |
| bishybashy | :O | 13:34 |
| x3 | you using routre | 13:34 |
| x3 | router | 13:34 |
| bishybashy | ya wired | 13:34 |
| x3 | no router? | 13:34 |
| bishybashy | no i am using router | 13:35 |
| DistroJockey | bishybashy, you said you need to repair it in Windows, so I'm guessing you have a slow DHCP server. Maybe the following? sudo ifdown eth0; sudo ifup eth0 | 13:35 |
| x3 | you using Internet connections sharing or what | 13:35 |
| x3 | so your router is set ton DHCP? | 13:35 |
| bishybashy | its automatic dhcp | 13:35 |
| bishybashy | o.O | 13:36 |
| x3 | and theres no router firewall rules that could be causing this? | 13:36 |
| bishybashy | well why would they if it works on xp | 13:36 |
| bishybashy | :/ | 13:36 |
| bishybashy | i have no strange rules in place:/ | 13:36 |
| dusty_ | Hey guys I have dual monitors setup using an ATI radeon hd card the only thing is I cannot drag applications from one monitor to the next, the mouse moves across them freely just not the applications, how do I make that happen ? I've tried: aticonfig --dtop=horizontal,reverse --overlay-on=1 but no avail, any ideas ? | 13:36 |
| x3 | xp is one beast linux another | 13:36 |
| x3 | linux set the NIC to roamin | 13:37 |
| bishybashy | i made it non-roamin | 13:37 |
| x3 | you can bypass that | 13:37 |
| x3 | and it accepts the correct IP same as you would get on xp? | 13:38 |
| bishybashy | huh u mean my ipconfig on xp? | 13:38 |
| x3 | and so on with subnetmask and dnd | 13:38 |
| x3 | I mean your router assigns a IP to xp | 13:38 |
| x3 | if on linux is your on same machine you shoukld get same UIP | 13:39 |
| bishybashy | they are on the same machine | 13:39 |
| bishybashy | :0 | 13:39 |
| x3 | and your getting same IP | 13:39 |
| x3 | on both xpp and linux?? | 13:40 |
| bishybashy | err | 13:40 |
| bishybashy | which ip? | 13:40 |
| x3 | is there a way to do file tranfer via RDP in ubuntu or not someone please know the answer | 13:40 |
| x3 | ip | 13:40 |
| hyperair | bishybashy: what's this about | 13:40 |
| x3 | e.g. 192.168.2.100 | 13:40 |
| hyperair | x3: no here isn't. since when was there file transfer via rdp? | 13:41 |
| bishybashy | how i see my linux one? | 13:41 |
| hyperair | ifconfig | 13:41 |
| flourish | howto find the busid of my device | 13:41 |
| bishybashy | okay well i got this | 13:41 |
| levent | hello | 13:41 |

| hyperair | wait | 13:41 |
| bishybashy | http://paste.ubuntu.com/31717/ | 13:41 |
| bishybashy | i know | 13:41 |
| bishybashy | -.- | 13:41 |
| x3 | since many remote toopls support file transfer | 13:41 |
| DistroJockey | flourish, what sort of device? | 13:41 |
| flourish | my video card | 13:42 |
| hyperair | x3: rdp is purely for remote desktop | 13:42 |
| hyperair | x3: no file transfer | 13:42 |
| DistroJockey | flourish, lspci is a good start | 13:42 |
| x3 | is there a tool then that would support both in ubunto | 13:42 |
| hyperair | bishybashy: is that the only output you get? | 13:42 |
| flourish | i want to do some configure so that i can connect to svideo | 13:42 |
| bishybashy | yes, would ifconfig -a but any better? | 13:42 |
| hyperair | no. | 13:42 |
| raven79 | i would like to mount a device (external disk) with ntfs-3g so i added to my fstab: "UUID=72F83407F833C85D /media/usb ntfs-3g rw,user,auto,nls=utf8 0 0" but now i get an error because it's a privileged operation and common user cannot mount it. How can i solve? | 13:42 |

| DistroJockey | flourish, more info can be got running: sudo lspci -v | 13:43 |
| x3 | bishybashy | 13:43 |
| hyperair | bishybashy: actually ifconfig alone lists all network interfaces. if you're only seeing lo that means linux isn't detecting any network device at al | 13:43 |
| bishybashy | yar | 13:43 |
| bishybashy | hmm | 13:43 |
| x3 | what your using is localhost | 13:43 |
| bishybashy | i have spare network card | 13:43 |
| x3 | that cannot connet to internet | 13:43 |
| bishybashy | so what do i change O.o | 13:44 |
| x3 | its a loopback testing address | 13:44 |
| dethray | anyone here have problems with really slow scrolling in firefox while compiz is running? | 13:44 |
| hyperair | bishybashy: what network interfaces do you have (hardware) | 13:44 |
| x3 | user | 13:44 |
| bishybashy | SiS 900 ethernet card | 13:44 |
| hyperair | dethray: disable smooth scrolling | 13:44 |
| dethray | Hmpf, it is. :) | 13:44 |
| x3 | you clearly are missing out configuration on the NIC card | 13:44 |
| bishybashy | i have a spare card | 13:44 |
| lowenheart | ellow guyz | 13:44 |
| hyperair | dethray: prob with nvidia. blame them. | 13:44 |
| bishybashy | should i plug it in | 13:44 |
| hyperair | bishybashy: stick it in | 13:45 |
| bishybashy | kk | 13:45 |
| dethray | ati rather | 13:45 |
| tonohono | Kate_Mins: Assuming you are using gnome, go to Applications > Sound & Video > Brasero Disc Burning, and select "audio project" | 13:45 |
| hyperair | dethray: well that's a new one, i never knew ati had issues with smooth scrolling. | 13:45 |
| x3 | you nic card should be set to automatically accept or discovers address being assigned by router | 13:45 |
| bishybashy | not in the best of shape but lets see | 13:45 |

| hyperair | bishybashy, i haven't heard of SiS ethernet cards not being supported by linux... do you have any eth0 or anything appearing in ifconfig's output? | 13:46 |
| x3 | bishybashy IT has nothing to do with the card it as to do with way your configuring it | 13:46 |
| dethray | Im using ati drivers with AIGLX. IT just seems to run slow :( | 13:46 |
| hyperair | x3, if you notice the ifconfig output, there is no eth0, eth1, ath0, wlan0 or whatever | 13:46 |
| hyperair | x3: there is only lo | 13:47 |
| lowenheart | i wanna ask... if there's any suitable printer for ubuntu? | 13:47 |
| hyperair | x3: do you udnerstand what that means? | 13:47 |
| hyperair | x3: linux did not detect any network cards/interfaces | 13:47 |
| flourish | DistroJockey: thank you | 13:47 |
| DistroJockey | flourish, you're welcome | 13:47 |
| hyperair | x3: that is why there is only lo, which is the loopback device | 13:47 |
| bishybashy | hmmm | 13:47 |
| bishybashy | hyperair | 13:47 |
| bishybashy | could it be hardware? | 13:47 |
| lowenheart | .... | 13:47 |
| hyperair | bishybashy, could be, but if windows detects it then probably not. | 13:48 |

| slicky | how do i get my pvr 500 to work under ubuntu? | 13:48 |
| x3 | hyperhair since bishybashy has manually rec onfigured the NIC on linux that shoudlnt be the error | 13:48 |
| x3 | so linux is not accepying whatever hes done | 13:49 |
| x3 | and stopped seeing the card in that case | 13:49 |
| hyperair | bishybashy, this is strange. i've got an SiS900 card too and it works | 13:49 |

| bishybashy | O.o | 13:49 |

| bishybashy | i can on xp though | 13:50 |
| hyperair | bishybashy, did eth0 appear when you inserted the new card? | 13:50 |
| x3 | I recon in bishybashy's case this is a issue of PEBKAC | 13:50 |
| x3 | I recon in bishybashy's case this is a issue of PEBKAC | 13:50 |

| morbyt1 | i have two soundcards. is it possible to switch the order for alsa so card 2 becomes the default card for a user only? | 13:59 |
| _2 | !sound | morbyt1 yes look here | 14:00 |
| ubottu | morbyt1 yes look here: If you're having problems with sound, first ensure ALSA is selected, by double clicking on the volume control, then File -> Change Device (ALSA Mixer). If that fails, see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Sound - https://help.ubuntu.com/community/SoundTroubleshooting - http://alsa.opensrc.org/DmixPlugin - For playing audio files, see !Players and !MP3 | 14:00 |

| gastly | I have a static IP (if that's of any use here) | 14:01 |
| Pici | gastly: What error do you get when you try accessing websites? | 14:01 |
| gastly | and all the settings are provided by my ISP | 14:01 |
| gastly | Pici, no error, it just stops loading and a blank page appears | 14:01 |
| _2 | gastly you can add the ip of a dns in /etc/reslov.conf but any dhcp usage will overwrite it i think. | 14:01 |

| XiXaQ | _2, 10000000000000000000 is still a large amount of files. You probably won't be able to put many bytes into each file, unless you have an unreasonably large harddisk. | 14:23 |
| AdvoWork | if im doing cp /dir/dir/file.txt /dir/dir/ do i have to specify a filename to end up in? asin can i do cp /dir/dir/file.txt /dir/dir2/ instead of specifying the end location as /dir/dir2/file.txt? | 14:23 |
| XiXaQ | AdvoWork, yes. | 14:23 |

| ActionParsnip | Adondai: check documents and setting\username\local setting\temp and temporary internet files | 14:43 |
| ActionParsnip | Adondai: you can delete the files in there | 14:43 |
| IdleOne | Adondai, defrag windows before installing ubuntu is a good idea and let the ubuntu installer install grub at MBR. 10 gigs is good | 14:43 |

| ubottu | deadbeef, please see my private message | 14:52 |
| DRebellion | bebraw, put them in /etc/fstab | 14:52 |
| ProN0ob | deadbeef, the entry is slightly dated, beep-media-player forked into bmpx and audacious, audacious has the clean winamp look and is compatible with winamp 2 skins, bmpx isn't anymore | 14:52 |

| deadbeef | for audio and video | 14:53 |
| Adondai | actionparsnip, I have a laptop :) also Ive done all the temporary file stuff, vista is just being gay with partitions | 14:53 |
| bebraw | will00, k. i tried "/dev/sda1 /media/disk ext3 defaults,umask=007,gid=1000 0 0 " earlier but it didn't work out. i'm probably missing something simple here? | 14:53 |
| Adondai | idleone, sorry whats MBR? | 14:53 |
| ActionParsnip | Adondai: it does that, its a rubbish OS | 14:54 |
| ProN0ob | deadbeef, audacious for audio (like winamp) and mplayer (with proprietary windows codec pack) or vlc for videos | 14:54 |
| ActionParsnip | Adondai: master boot record | 14:54 |
| IrCYop | beli, not sure where alsaconf is located and nothing in the asoundrc file | 14:54 |
| will00 | bebraw, are there tab spaces in between the entries or just a regular space? | 14:54 |
| Adondai | actionparsnip, i like it a lot :) its just not perfect :P | 14:54 |
| deadbeef | thanks, I'll check those out then | 14:54 |

| IrCYop | (Thats what I looked in first, using tab completion) | 14:55 |
| IdleOne | Adondai, MBR is Master Boot Record | 14:55 |

| Adondai | actionparsnip, to be hoenst I would like to hear some well founded reasoning behind the vista hatred :) | 14:56 |
| will00 | bebraw, yes it does | 14:56 |
| IrCYop | beli, That file also doesn't exist | 14:56 |
| ActionParsnip | Adondai: well its a 6Gb install for a start | 14:57 |
| beli | IrCYop: so you might do an alsa configuration | 14:57 |
| will00 | bebraw, out o curiosity, whats on the other folders? | 14:57 |
| ActionParsnip | Adondai: it treats you like a complete idiot even thouh you are logged in as administrator | 14:57 |
| will00 | *partitions | 14:57 |

| bebraw | will00, i will pastebin whole fstab. a sec | 14:57 |
| will00 | ok | 14:57 |

| soundray | smokewon: filesystem inconsistencies | 14:58 |
| ActionParsnip | Adondai: rearranging of pretty much everything in control panel and renaming stuff making the UI unusable to seasoned users | 14:58 |
| smokewon | soundray, oh ok, should i be worried? or is there some sort of fix for this? | 14:58 |
| soundray | !fsck | smokewon | 14:58 |
| ubottu | smokewon: fsck is the FileSystem ChecKer, which runs automatically when you boot if you didn't shutdown cleanly. Type "man fsck" for information on running it manually. The command "sudo shutdown -F -r now" will force a reboot and a filesystem check; "sudo touch /fastboot" will skip a filesystem check at next reboot | 14:58 |
| Adondai | actionparsnip, also true, however everything is actually far more productive once you get in the habit of just using the start menu search | 14:58 |
| soundray | smokewon: I would do a manual fsck from a live CD | 14:59 |
| Adondai | actionparsnip, FAR more productive then XP ever was... ;) | 14:59 |
| smokewon | soundray ah ok, thanks for the info | 14:59 |
| kthakore | how do I change the ~/.pg/deluge/deluge-0.5/plugins/FlexRSS$ in my command line to show only FlexRSS ? | 14:59 |
| ActionParsnip | Adondai: i dony use either, I only use xp on my lappy. Ive been using linux too long. | 14:59 |
| ActionParsnip | Adondai: my linux system is 1.5Gb and does the same and more than Vista | 14:59 |
| soundray | smokewon: not to prevent you from reading 'man fsck', but -y is an option that you want to set | 15:00 |
| smokewon | ok tnx | 15:00 |
| ActionParsnip | Adondai: plus aero looks realy tacky and cheap. like an afterthought | 15:00 |
| Adondai | actionparsnip, I just dont think vista deserves the hatred, ive been playing with ubuntu (through wubu for a couple days and yea, i love linux to.. its fun, fast etc... however there are plenty of things I find better in vista, just as there are things i find better in ubuntu | 15:00 |
| sd | Does the garmin bluetooth gps receiver work with ubuntu? | 15:00 |
| soundray | Have I logged on to #vistabashing by mistake? | 15:00 |

| ubottu | Street mapping and GPS navigation software available for Ubuntu includes !GpsDrive (GTK, raster maps, free), !Roadnav (GTK, free vector maps from Tiger and OSM, free), !GoogleEarth (Qt, proprietary vector maps, proprietary) | 15:01 |
| Adondai | actionparsnip, disagree on THAT one! hahaha... i think aero is great... | 15:01 |
| Adondai | but hey thats personaly preference | 15:01 |
| sd | Does any bluetooth gps receiver work with ubuntu? | 15:01 |
| ActionParsnip | Adondai: ive seen so much better. It looks nasty. I just like a slick effective system. Vista feels like running through mud | 15:01 |
| soundray | sd: yes, BT GPSs communicate serially with Ubuntu. You need gpsd or similar | 15:01 |
| sd | soundray: I am looking at buying one. Not there yet. Just to know whether they work or not. | 15:02 |
| sd | soundray: Do most/all/some work? You have some experience? | 15:02 |
| sd | soundray: Have a link. | 15:02 |
| sd | soundray: Its such a sick ritual looking at shabby sites to see if the best gadgets (after doing ALL that work looking at reviews to pick the best one) work in ubuntu | 15:03 |
| sd | soundray: Hello? | 15:03 |
| soundray | sd: Garmin devices have their own protocol, which is supported, but I don't think it's open like NMEA is. You may be better off with a generic device by Holux or Globalsat | 15:03 |
| Adondai | ActionParsnip, again I think a lot of it is perception. Vista sure runs faster then my xp machine at home on similar hardware... and as i said... I have yet to see anyone else create something as useful as the integrated search implemented across vista... it doesnt get mentioned much but it is the thing i miss the most on any other OS | 15:03 |
| soundray | sd: have a bit of patience. Not everybody types staccato like you do | 15:04 |
| ActionParsnip | Adondai: if you use the CLI you get that anyhoo | 15:04 |
| * sd apologises. | 15:04 | |

| ActionParsnip | Adondai: just type the command you wanna run and *poof* | 15:05 |
| ActionParsnip | Adondai: you can even tab complete | 15:05 |
| Adondai | actionparsnip haha, not for noobs like me | 15:05 |
| soundray | sd: you can petition manufacturers to provide information on Linux support, or at least open up their specs | 15:05 |
| ActionParsnip | Adondai: you'll learn | 15:05 |
| sd | soundray: I just have one lifetime to live and only so much money for the MEGAcorps. | 15:05 |
| ActionParsnip | Adondai: i just cant understand a 6Gb install. Its mind boggling | 15:05 |
| soundray | sd: I haven't tried, but I know that my serially connected eTrex works with either GARMIN or NMEA protocols | 15:05 |
| soundray | sd: and my GlobalSat BT-338 works with NMEA | 15:06 |
| ActionParsnip | Adondai: you could always reinstall vista on a smaller partition to leave a large unassigned space for Linux | 15:06 |
| soundray | sd: another reason not to buy Garmin | 15:06 |
| beli | IrCYop: http://ubuntuforums.org/archive/index.php/t-399078.html | 15:06 |
| Adondai | ActionParsnip, yeah there is a lot of extra crap... however someone did the sums and vista has the smallest kernel out of windows, linux and mac os | 15:06 |
| ActionParsnip | Adondai: Windows98 tiny is fairly small. 8Mb desktop is pretty sweet | 15:07 |
| amikrop | How can I constantly change the default size of my GNOME Terminal? | 15:07 |
| Adondai | ActionParsnip, i kinda wanna leave vista... ive reinstalled 3 times this month already due to hardware failure and not looking forward to it again | 15:07 |
| soundray | ActionParsnip, Adondai: can you take your offtopic chat elsewhere please? #ubuntu-offtopic would be fine | 15:07 |
| ActionParsnip | then you should have planned your partitions | 15:07 |

| ActionParsnip | werrd | 15:07 |
| soundray | amikrop: constantly? | 15:07 |
| ProN0ob | Adondai, lulz... linux kernel can be configured to like ultra small size... it runs on routers with like 4mb ram and 8mb flash | 15:07 |
| amikrop | soundray: I want to change the default size of it. | 15:08 |
| Adondai | i stand corrected :) | 15:08 |
| amikrop | The size that it comes with, when it is launched. | 15:08 |
| sd | soundray: thank you. You have been great. Either the OS guys figure out ways to give us extra 100years to make sense of all the shabby documentation or they set retired spies to steal proprietary standards info. | 15:08 |

| amikrop | yes, sorry | 15:08 |

| soundray | sd: you shouldn't go on about "shabby documentation" all the time when you're talking about Free/Open Source software. Source code is the most pristine documentation you can have | 15:09 |

| yuhaqya | but i cant find where they are ? | 15:11 |
| soundray | tim167: select the download link | 15:11 |
| SeveredCross | yuhaqya: netstat should be installed by default, and it's a command-ilne tool. | 15:11 |

| newbe1 | deleted panel short time ago and found it but discovered the many thing u can add sooooooooooooooooooooooo cool | 15:11 |
| amikrop | soundray: Above "Profile Icon"? | 15:11 |
| SeveredCross | xmms you should be able to start by pressing Alt-F2 and typing xmms, or finding it Applications -> Sound and Video | 15:12 |
| soundray | amikrop: I can't read it out to you, sorry | 15:12 |

| amikrop | soundray: Or below it? | 15:12 |
| soundray | amikrop: above | 15:12 |
| amikrop | soundray: You mean "use the system fixed width font"? | 15:12 |
| tim167 | soundray: is there such thing as a download link on youtube pages ? | 15:12 |
| ProN0ob | tim167, you could use youtube.tdjc.be and then just download with your normal browser | 15:12 |
| soundray | tim167: not on all of them | 15:12 |
| newbe1 | anyone in here | 15:12 |
| soundray | amikrop: no, that you have to untick before you can modify the font | 15:13 |
| tim167 | ProN0ob: ok ill try that thanks | 15:13 |
| geirha | amikrop: doesn't appear to be an option for it. You could edit the menu-entry for it to run "gnome-terminal --geometry 80x10" instead of just "gnome-terminal" (80x10 gives default width with 10 lines) | 15:13 |
| ProN0ob | tim167, there are lots of pages which turn a youtube link into a download link | 15:13 |
| amikrop | soundray: I am not talking about the font, I am talking about the window size of the terminal. | 15:13 |
| amikrop | geirha: ok, then. thanks. | 15:14 |

| markand | does SiS need restrictedsoftware ? | 15:15 |
| amikrop | geirha: What argument can I pass gnome-terminal to open it with a specific profile? | 15:15 |
| kaffe_02 | markand, if you go to system, administration, hardware drivers do you see anything in there | 15:16 |
| geirha | amikrop: gnome-terminal --help will list the possible options | 15:16 |

| gardar | geirha, can I remove entries from old kernels too? As I always just boot the latest one | 15:53 |
| channeling | cheex. do you have any addons installed in firefox? | 15:53 |
| geirha | gardar: best way to do that is uninstall the older kernels. When you uninstall a kernel, the kernel entry is automatically removed from the grub menu. Search for packages starting with linux-image- | 15:54 |
| zvacet | gardar : it is good to keep two latest kernels other you can delete from synaptic typing in search box linux-image and select kernels with lower number | 15:54 |
| cheex | channeling: i have flashblock. But the problem occurs throughout all GUI based browsers that I have installed. | 15:54 |
| geirha | gardar: and if you're not gonna use the kernel, there's no need having it take up space | 15:54 |

| tlove | So i hear linux doesn't like jump drives, i was trasfering music from my windows pc to this ubuntu one and i tryed to delete the music file though linux but it made it in a trash can. then i attempted to delete the trash can and now my 2gig jj turned into a 150mb jj :[ please help. | 16:02 |
| zvacet | blockhd : sudo apt-get install totem-mozilla | 16:02 |
| blockhd | how do i choose it? | 16:03 |
| gardar | Gilnim, not quite sure what is wrong, thouhgt it was maby configured to only accept local connections | 16:03 |
| blockhd | now... for default player in firefox | 16:03 |
| gardar | blockhd, I think you need to remove totem firefox plugin and then the vlc one will be autumatically chosen | 16:03 |
| dethray | gardar, my scrolling is extremely slow, that's about it... but its like that in every application | 16:03 |
| gardar | dethray, what do you mean by scrolling? like scrolling webpages? | 16:04 |
| zvacet | blockhd : if you use totem jusr install what I posted to you tell me if you use other player | 16:04 |
| Gilnim | gardar: it has also been configured to connect from other pc's | 16:04 |
| dethray | webpages, any everything else too | 16:04 |
| gardar | Gilnim, then I have no idea what's wrong, sorry | 16:04 |
| dethray | even the scroll bar on xchat is slow... :/ | 16:04 |
| untermensch | when does 8.10 go into beta testing? | 16:05 |
| gardar | dethray, do you have any plugin that has something to do with scrolling? | 16:05 |
| dethray | I don't think so, I went through and looked at each one | 16:05 |
| geirha | untermensch: ask about 8.10 in #ubuntu+1 | 16:05 |
| gardar | dethray, has it always been this slow? | 16:05 |
| Arelis | help! I lost my wireless network because i installed kde4, and it removed wicd, and now i may not install anything because i have no internet (although there's a wired connection around here), how do i get it back? | 16:05 |
| abchirk | Is there a ubuntu move for ahving firefox 3 and 2? | 16:06 |
| Sylphid|work | im not getting any sound in flash anymore after upgrading to flash 10 and it appears to be freezing.. how can i fix this or revert to flash 9 | 16:06 |
| dethray | YEs, though I just updated to 0.7.6 and it seemed to speed things up a little better then 0.7.4 | 16:06 |
| gardar | Arelis, can't you use the default wireless monitor in kde? | 16:06 |
| untermensch | Arelis: what wireless card do you have. | 16:06 |
| Arelis | untermensch: Atheros card | 16:06 |
| Arelis | gardar: which is? | 16:06 |
| untermensch | eek.. | 16:06 |
| untermensch | atheros's are easy to get running | 16:06 |
| stylin_java_man | I'm having problems with the acrobat plug-in for firefox 3 | 16:06 |
| untermensch | i'm not sure why switching x servers would affect that | 16:07 |
| gardar | Arelis, not quite sure, I don't use kde | 16:07 |
| geirha | Arelis: unless you've run apt-get clean, the wicd package is probably still around in /var/cache/apt/archives/ | 16:07 |
| gardar | but I know that you can do that with gnome | 16:07 |
| Saladin | Another question: Ubuntu Server doesn't come with the GUI by default I believe? Can you install xserver on the server edition? | 16:08 |
| dethray | gardar, I think it might be the window decorations | 16:09 |
| Arelis | oh boy.. the package that conflicts with kde-window-manager has screwed up my apt-get so i may not remove or install anything, so i may not remove network-manager which conflicts with wicd.... | 16:09 |
| Mostafa | 16:09 | |
| Arelis | How do i solve this? kde-window-manager has caused a global package conflict that renders apt-get useless | 16:09 |
| gardar | dethray, are you using emerald? | 16:09 |
| fixion | anyone know why evolution starts using 100% cpu when sending an email? (until you close it) | 16:09 |
| geirha | Saladin: yes, you can install ubuntu-desktop for example | 16:09 |
| dethray | Yes | 16:09 |
| maximumbob | Valve or Aperture Labs coffee mug? | 16:09 |
| gardar | Saladin, yes you can install gnome, kde, flux, etc | 16:09 |
| Saladin | Ah, brilliant, just a simple apt-get I would imagine? | 16:10 |
| w0jrl | hello all | 16:10 |
| geirha | Saladin: yes. aptitude search ubuntu-desktop | 16:11 |
| gardar | dethray, try to narrow down the problem by disabling emerald, and if that doesn't work, some problems, and see if you can find out what's slowing you down | 16:11 |
| yitz_ | It there a way to change the title in the titlebar of a gnome-terminal from inside the shell? | 16:11 |

| raw__ | I installed ubuntu as an application on Windows, and I gave 15GB space to linux ubuntu, is that good ? | 16:19 |
| spiritssight | the problem is that its a windows app .exe with lots of dlls | 16:19 |
| raw__ | it was set by default | 16:19 |
| geirha | yitz_: export PROMPT_COMMAND='echo -ne "\033]0;Hello\007"' | 16:19 |
| morbyte | geirha: does that change the prompt or the window title? | 16:20 |
| geirha | morbyte: window title | 16:20 |
| yitz_ | geirha: That's the prompt, not the title | 16:20 |
| zvacet | raw__ : if you just want to see how it is works it is enuogh | 16:20 |

| zvacet | spiritssight : virtual box or vmware server | 16:22 |
| blockhd | spiritssight wmvare | 16:22 |
| Fudgebuck | spirit: you can use synaptic to get virtuabox | 16:22 |
| geirha | morbyte: "grep PROMPT_COMMAND ~/.bashrc" that will show you what it was before | 16:22 |
| genii | henux: ccsm | 16:22 |
| genii | henux: or for long compizconfig-settings-manager | 16:22 |
| henux | genii: Is that also the name of the ubuntu package? | 16:22 |
| henux | ok | 16:22 |
| spiritssight | could tell me more Fudgebuck | 16:22 |
| henux | thx | 16:22 |

| `ntemis | hello | 16:24 |
| morbyte | |TheBarold|: you should do "sudo /etc/init.d/privoxy start" | 16:24 |
| morbyte | i guess | 16:24 |
| `ntemis | i need some info please | 16:24 |
| Fudgebuck | spiritsight: click System -> Administration -> Synpatic .. then do a search for virtualbox, mark to install | 16:24 |
| slobad23 | thanks lazarus | 16:24 |
| spiritssight | it does not show up in the package thing (virtuabox) | 16:24 |

| kippy | Guys is there a resource I can use to learn Linux/Ubuntu troubleshooting? I want to know about some of the important configuration files and what they do and stuff | 16:27 |
| kavok | acrobat reader 8: install the repositories from mediaubuntu | 16:27 |

| stylin_java_man | kavok: I did that | 16:27 |
| kavok | stylin_java_man: whats the problem? | 16:28 |
| morbyte | kippy: what about google? just ask for the filename | 16:28 |
| stylin_java_man | I installed the repositories, and the app showed up in my main menu, but firefox3 will not bring it up | 16:29 |

| lore20__ | Jan|, I have, why? | 16:30 |
| kippy | geirha, how to do it in virtualbox ? | 16:30 |
| Jan| | lore20__, I test the disk integrity (before installing) and every time it seems to have bad files.... | 16:31 |
| Fudgebuck | spirit: you have to install it, then install windows in it | 16:31 |

| |TheBarold| | raggi do you have any type of proxy apps running? | 16:33 |
| gardar | ok, glad it's fixed dethray | 16:33 |
| raggi | nope, i have looked in all the places i know that are obvious | 16:33 |
| zvacet | irihi : system>preferences>keyboard | 16:33 |
| raggi | firefox is clear of proxy settings, and i can't see a firewall running | 16:33 |
| dethray | Appreciate the help gardar | 16:34 |
| |TheBarold| | raggi: : are you wired or wifi? | 16:34 |
| zvacet | irihi : if that is what you ask for | 16:34 |
| Jan| | lore20__, yes, I burned 3 of them at the lowest speed possible and the integrity check says all 3 have errors | 16:34 |
| Gilnim | Can I run a firefox without installing Xfce, Kde or Gnome | 16:34 |
| raggi | |TheBarold|: i can try both, but the wireless is more reliable | 16:34 |
| raggi | it's one of those laptops wiht an rtl8169 that doesn't work well under the current linux builds | 16:35 |
| yitz_ | Solved. I had to unset the PROMPT_COMMAND and then I could use the regular xterm escape sequence to set the title | 16:35 |
| irihi | zvacet: i have done that before, but now, no keyboard layout is selected, and i cant select one there | 16:35 |
| lore20__ | Jan|, if you try to continue installation? | 16:35 |

| zvacet | Jan| : download same iso with torrent and point download to the folder where your existing iso is.Torrent will yous check for corrupted files and replace them if any | 16:37 |
| raggi | hmm | 16:37 |
| lore20__ | Jan|, you could try with another cd-drive or with an usb drive | 16:37 |
| |TheBarold| | raggi: : have you looked into your router preferences | 16:37 |
| raggi | ff3 iirc | 16:37 |
| Jan| | zvacet, nice idea | 16:37 |

| |TheBarold| | minion35: even VLCplayer does it | 16:42 |
| raggi | lore20__: also, dns requests seem to work for everyone | 16:43 |
| raggi | which is even more odd | 16:43 |
| raggi | and ICMP is fine too | 16:43 |
| raggi | just TCP to most apps, well, thus far everything but ruby and firefox :-S | 16:43 |
| w-mute | Hi. On my iBook G4 hardware sensor applet used to work. Now it's impossible to find sensors even after following the Feisty guide on ubuntuguides. Any ideas on that? | 16:43 |
| Jan| | zvacet, the bittorrent hash check test passed... i'm now seeding the file | 16:43 |
| eth01 | is your router dropping ICMP? | 16:43 |
| |TheBarold| | raggi: could it be in the modem itself | 16:43 |
| raggi | no, ICMP works | 16:43 |
| Jan| | zvacet, so its not the integrity of the ISO | 16:43 |
| eth01 | is it cable or adsl? | 16:43 |
| raggi | |TheBarold|: no, i'm talking to oyu over that | 16:43 |
| lore20__ | raggi, have you try to disable iptables? | 16:44 |
| raggi | and there's nothing abnormal here | 16:44 |
| minion35 | (TheBarold) i hadn't tried it . . . installing now. | 16:44 |
| eth01 | raggi: cable or adsl? | 16:44 |
| raggi | adsl | 16:44 |
| raggi | that's not the issue | 16:44 |
| raggi | 1. wrong layer | 16:44 |
| raggi | 2. it's working | 16:44 |
| FloodBot1 | raggi: Please don't flood, use http://paste.ubuntu.com to paste, don't use Enter as punctuation. | 16:44 |
| eth01 | raggi: wrong layer? | 16:44 |
| raggi | 3. apps from that machine even work | 16:44 |
| raggi | eth01: that *cannot* be the issue | 16:44 |
| Mr_Bad_News | i jsut installed compiz and now when i log in nautilus loads the closes over and over again and avant doesnt work and i still cant get 3d effects? | 16:44 |
| eth01 | raggi: HAVE you tried pinging the IP address of your modem? | 16:45 |
| raggi | i've proven that already, in standard debugging procedures | 16:45 |
| raggi | yes, of course that works | 16:45 |
| raggi | dns even works | 16:45 |
| eth01 | raggi: you cannot debug any adsl modems afaik | 16:45 |
| raggi | as does UDP | 16:45 |
| whta | if i buy a dell laptop and find that the wireless card doesn't want to work, can i just order one later that is known to work and use it instead? | 16:45 |

| AlexCONRAD | hello, I'd like to buy a laptop with Unbuntu, any recommendation for a good laptop model/brand running ubuntu ? | 16:48 |
| blockhd | Alex | 16:48 |
| blockhd | every brand can run ubuntu | 16:49 |
| Jan| | i'm burning ubuntu 64 bit at the lowest speed possible, this is the last time | 16:49 |
| blockhd | its your choice | 16:49 |
| jedimind | what is support like for ATI cards in ubuntu? about the same as nvidia? | 16:49 |
| lore20__ | Jan|, it may be a cd reader/burner problem | 16:49 |
| blockhd | what you ened | 16:49 |
| raggi | eth01: can do, what's your expectation? | 16:49 |
| minion35 | AlexCONRAD -- Dell xps with ubuntu | 16:49 |
| zvacet | Jan| : why do you need 64 | 16:49 |
| nixnoob | jedimind: depends what you wanna do? | 16:50 |
| AlexCONRAD | minion35: yeah, I say dell has some unbuntu now... but I heard that on the exact same configuration, the linux version is more expensive than the windows one... :? | 16:50 |
| jedimind | nixnoob: just trying to decide if i should get an ati card or nvidia card on this laptop | 16:50 |
| jedimind | i have a laptop w/ nvidia now - but someone recommended ati | 16:50 |
| minion35 | AlexCONRAD -- buy a p.c and get it os free . . then download ubuntu and install | 16:50 |
| EvilDennisR | jedimind: They're a fool! | 16:51 |
| pepie34 | is it possible to serialize file copy on nautilus ? (like copying folders to an external hd not in parallel but folder after folder) | 16:51 |
| jedimind | EvilDennisR: is it that bad? | 16:51 |
| Jan| | zvacet, because I can run it ? | 16:51 |
| nixnoob | jedimind: personally I would go with Nvidia, I find the drivers to be more stable, however the ATI drivers are begining to shape up quite nicely | 16:51 |
| raggi | hurr | 16:51 |
| AlexCONRAD | minion35: i'd like to have some recommendation regarding the pc (regarding hardware compatibility mostly) | 16:51 |
| minion35 | jedimind -- ati in my opinion are useless. | 16:51 |
| jedimind | my only concern is that nvidia is closed source, where as ati opened up their drivers | 16:51 |
| raggi | ok, seriously wtf, even apt works | 16:51 |
| raggi | :'( | 16:51 |
| newk | mp4 rhythembox help?? | 16:51 |
| dethray | what's the apt-get for xmms? | 16:52 |
| jedimind | what if i dont have a choice? or if the choice is built-in Intel chipset of some sorts, or ATI (in the case of dell studio lineup) | 16:52 |
| jedimind | would i have issues with the ATI card ? | 16:52 |
| nixnoob | jedimind: well if opensource is a must then go with ATI, there are opensource nvidia drivers but they dont work on newer cards | 16:52 |
| FreddyGonzo | jedimind: Ati startes to have a nice opensource driver, developped with Data from AMD. It will be introduced in Ubuntu with the next release. | 16:52 |
| minion35 | AlexCONRAD -- hp are good and have ubuntu support. thats what i run and it works really well . . . everything supported | 16:52 |
| zvacet | Jan| : do you mean because of ram | 16:52 |
| jedimind | FreddyGonzo: that sounds heavenly compared to nvidia support thus far that ive had | 16:53 |
| jedimind | by next release you mean 8.10 ? | 16:53 |
| dethray | Finally, that's good news FreddyGonzo | 16:53 |
| iamlindoro_ | newk: http://ubuntuforums.org/archive/index.php/t-14242.html | 16:53 |
| AlexCONRAD | minion35: thanks for the tip. I heard lenovo were good laptops too, any experience? | 16:53 |
| Mr_Bad_News | whats the super button? | 16:53 |
| dethray | windows button | 16:54 |
| genii | jedimind: nvidia or intel currently is less headaches although ati/amd is long promising the open sourcing of it's drivers | 16:54 |
| jedimind | windows button | 16:54 |
| Jan| | zvacet, 64bit cpu, why run 32 bit ? I've got 2GB of RAM also... | 16:54 |
| FreddyGonzo | jedimind: I have a x1250 ati here and a geforce 7600. Both drivers have their liitle bugs, but both are running quiet good with the restricted ati/nvidia driver | 16:54 |
| ameo | hi all | 16:54 |
| === arief_hy is now known as cow_pngen^Zu2 | ||
| EvilDennisR | Jan|: You'll only notice a performance increase if your machine has >4G ram | 16:54 |
| ameo | space question please | 16:54 |
| jedimind | FreddyGonzo: restricted? meaning what? limited 3d support or something? | 16:54 |
| EvilDennisR | Jan|: >=4G | 16:54 |
| jedimind | can you run compiz etc just fine ? | 16:54 |
| dethray | I can't use the restricted ones.. :( | 16:55 |
| nixnoob | jedimind: compiz works with ATI | 16:55 |
| Mr_Bad_News | when i try to load avant i just see a blip and nothing else in the upper left corner but ps -x says its running | 16:55 |
| FreddyGonzo | jedimind: Meaning, that I use the closed source drivers from ati and nvidia | 16:55 |
| ameo | i have 12 Gb drive with winxp installed . what space should i cut for ubuntu ? | 16:55 |
| jedimind | ah | 16:55 |
| minion35 | AlexCONRAD -- lenovo are ok . . . very good all rounders . . . have you thought about asus? | 16:55 |
| dethray | 12gb ameo. :P | 16:55 |
| Jan| | well I maybe so but ill still be able to run it, right ? | 16:55 |
| EvilDennisR | my ATI card doesn't have 3d acceleration with dual screens | 16:55 |
| dev_n00b | Ameo, get a bigger HD :O | 16:55 |
| zvacet | Jan| : you will be fine with 32 | 16:55 |
| EvilDennisR | ..fglrx actually crashes my machine when I use it | 16:55 |
| minion35 | ameo -- delete xp . . . or use the wubi install ang give it 6gb | 16:55 |
| lore20__ | dethray,5-7 GB for the root | 16:56 |
| ameo | dev_n00b: i meant only my C :\ | 16:56 |
| jedimind | i wont be using dual screens - its just a laptop | 16:56 |
| ameo | i have 200 Gb HD | 16:56 |
| dev_n00b | Ameo : Ahhhhh | 16:56 |
| AlexCONRAD | minion35: I thought about asus as well, I'm afraid it's too geeky / jap (don't ask me to go too much in details with that explanation) | 16:56 |
| AlexCONRAD | :) | 16:56 |
| Mr_Bad_News | what is 'button 1' | 16:56 |
| energY | 1337 users here now | 16:56 |
| energY | We are 1337... | 16:56 |
| jedimind | ha | 16:56 |
| dethray | I wouldn't give windows and less than the 12 gigs it has, ameo | 16:56 |
| dethray | any less | 16:56 |
| jedimind | so going w/ 256MB ATI Mobility Radeon HD 3450 - i wont run into any sever problems, correct? | 16:57 |
| nixnoob | EvilDennisR: jedimind ATI driver will not support large texture sizes on most cards and therefor prevents you from having compiz with dual monitors, whereas you can do it just fine on an nvidia card | 16:57 |
| jedimind | severe* | 16:57 |
| ameo | dethray: so what should i set the root and the swap ? | 16:57 |
| squarebracket | is there a way i can tell a specific driver is installed? | 16:57 |
| EvilDennisR | nixnoob: Aye | 16:57 |
| jedimind | i cant get dual monitors to work at all - on my current nvidia card :) but tahts okay ive looked past it | 16:57 |
| taffy | I have purchased a barebones foxconn ebot savant with mobo model 661FX7SB and would like to know if I am likely to face any issues with an ubuntu 8.04 installation especially with the current Foxconn debacle. | 16:57 |

| anolis | energY, mac is a unix based ;) | 17:07 |
| jlewis | zvacet, sorry, what do I do with that? I'm a complete newbee. | 17:07 |
| Mr_Bad_News | i get desktop effects could not be enabled nixnoob | 17:07 |
| nixnoob | Mr_Bad_News: do you have your video card driveres installed? | 17:07 |
| anolis | Mr_Bad_News, do you have you video card drivers installed? | 17:07 |
| geirha | krod: could be a bad burn. Try the "check cd for defects" option at the CDs boot menu | 17:07 |
| energY | I installed a ubuntu package on my debian once, maybe I should try installing a mac package... | 17:07 |
| penguen | mac was inherited on the unix time sharing operation system 7 | 17:07 |

| krod | geirha, I tried that and that froze as well | 17:08 |
| jedimind | here's a question ... anyone know why my firefox3 would lock up trying to print ? | 17:08 |
| nixnoob | anolis: why lol? | 17:08 |
| macho | so there not any good os for the ps3 out there | 17:08 |
| EvilDennisR | energY: ..and it wouldn't work because the libraries are different | 17:08 |
| krod | so I should just try to reburn it? | 17:08 |
| geirha | krod: then it's a bad burn. Burn it again at a low speed | 17:08 |
| anolis | nixnoob, cause i asked him the same thing, about vid drivers | 17:08 |
| Mr_Bad_News | i thought i did | 17:08 |
| Mr_Bad_News | what ones do i need? | 17:08 |
| jedimind | in fact, anything i try to print - it just locks up | 17:08 |
| nixnoob | Mr_Bad_News: well obviously you dont, what video card do you have? | 17:08 |
| anolis | Mr_Bad_News, do you have ati or nvidia? | 17:08 |
| krod | geirha, when burning the ISO, should I check the option "Finalize CD" | 17:08 |
| Mr_Bad_News | ati | 17:08 |
| zvacet | jlewis : I just try to point you to the right direction I don´t use wireless | 17:08 |

| newk | |thebarold| : i have them but they wont play... | 17:10 |

| nixnoob | jedimind: did you actually setup your printer? | 17:15 |

| DRebellion | piratelordx, they do? | 17:15 |
| _Thorn_ | Pici, Dunno, it's version 7.04 though :> | 17:15 |
| newk | jesper: system-> preferences -> sessions --> current session and jus remove avant | 17:15 |
| minion35 | _Thorn_ sudo apt-get update then install | 17:15 |
| zvacet | jlewis : I don´t konw maybe this will help you https://help.ubuntu.com/community/WifiDocs/Driver/Madwifi | 17:15 |
| DRebellion | jedimind, when did it break? | 17:15 |
| piratelordx | drebellion: i have had a couple | 17:16 |
| Pici | _Thorn_: Ubuntu is not a rolling release. Packages generally stay at the same version from release point onwards, unless someone backports an upgrade. | 17:16 |
| Bubbi | Hello, I was wondering if somebody could tell me how to automatically run a script at startup of the computer (when logging in as a user).. I've read something about init.d..? | 17:16 |
| Pici | _Thorn_: Yes, thats feisty anyways. | 17:16 |
| piratelordx | drebellion: any thoughts? | 17:16 |
| jedimind | DRebellion: not sure, i just noticed it now - i print like once every 2-3 months | 17:16 |
| |TheBarold| | newk: have you tried to play them in Totem? | 17:16 |
| nixnoob | jedimind: sorry i dunno i just thought i would try the obvious answer it works usually | 17:16 |
| DRebellion | piratelordx, this is a firefox bug, if anything. | 17:16 |
| newk | |thebarold| it wil play bu no sound.. | 17:16 |
| Mr_Bad_News | how do i run it anolis ? | 17:16 |
| Mr_Bad_News | its saved as .run | 17:16 |
| jlewis | thanks zvacet | 17:16 |
| _Thorn_ | Pici, Well... so I guess i'm somewhat screwed... no later version of any linux distro will install due to kernel issues..... oh well :/ | 17:16 |
| TiredWolf | Bubbi: stuff in init.d is run during boot, not when you login | 17:16 |
| arvind_khadri | how to install a complete set of packages related to a kernel?? | 17:16 |
| Mr_Bad_News | nautilus keeps opening and closing on me | 17:16 |
| Mr_Bad_News | wtf | 17:16 |

| stevenSTRANGE | I have apache installed, I can get a 'default' server up and running through webadmin, but I keep failing in setting up a virtual host, where have I gone wrong? | 17:17 |
| minion35 | THORN -- update your package manager then reinstall gimp | 17:17 |
| piratelordx | DRebellion: not true... i have tried the same sites in IEs4Linux and opera. and i have loaded the same websites in windows with firefox and they run fine | 17:17 |
| Mr_Bad_News | how do i run ati-driver-installer-8.28.8.run | 17:17 |
| zvacet | jlewis :yw | 17:17 |
| Bubbi | TiredWolf: Okay, always good to know :) But if i just put a script inside that folder, it will be run automatically at startup..? | 17:17 |
| === c is now known as Charitwo | ||
| nixnoob | Mr_Bad_News: sudo chmod +x ati* | 17:17 |
| TiredWolf | Bubbi: no | 17:17 |
| newk | |thebarold| totem doesnt play it at all | 17:17 |
| nixnoob | Mr_Bad_News: sudo sh ati* | 17:17 |
| anolis | Mr_Bad_News, make sure it is executable first by doing ls -a <path to file> | 17:17 |
| _Thorn_ | minion35, I can assure you it is updated | 17:17 |
| nixnoob | anolis: thats what the sudo chmod +x is for | 17:18 |
| krod | does ubuntu now have built in wireless support? | 17:18 |
| Bubbi | TiredWolf: I should do something to tell the init.d folder to run the script..? | 17:18 |
| minion35 | THORN what is the version of the gimp you have | 17:18 |
| TiredWolf | Bubbi: you need to write a compliant script (look at /etc/init.d/skeleton), and then use "update-rc.d" (see the manpage) to activate it | 17:18 |
| anolis | nixnoob, didn't notice | 17:18 |
| _Thorn_ | minion35, 2.2.13 | 17:18 |
| Mr_Bad_News | that doesnt do anything | 17:18 |
| Bubbi | TiredWolf: manpage..? | 17:18 |
| === ApOgEE- is now known as apoo | ||
| TiredWolf | Bubbi: or you could just add the command you want to run to /etc/rc.local, as *that* one is the "quick and easy" way to run things on boot | 17:18 |
| TiredWolf | !man | bubbi | 17:18 |
| ubottu | bubbi: The "man" command brings up the Linux manual pages for the command you're interested in. Try "man intro" at the command line, or see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/UsingTheTerminal | 17:18 |
| |TheBarold| | newk: are these already converted? or are you converting them? | 17:19 |
| TiredWolf | Bubbi: of course, you cannot run graphical applications this way | 17:19 |
| nixnoob | Mr_Bad_News: what doesnt do anything? | 17:19 |
| Mr_Bad_News | sudo sh ati* | 17:19 |
| gaozhi | 该睡觉了 | 17:19 |

| Mr_Bad_News | home | 17:19 |
| Saladin | Just a quick one, if a web hosting company installs Ubuntu 6.06 on their dedicated servers, is it normal for them to allow you to upgrade to 8.04? | 17:19 |
| minion35 | THORN -- download the 2.5.2 release off their website and install it? | 17:19 |
| Bubbi | TiredWolf: Thanks.. :) I'll take a look at that.. :) | 17:19 |
| anolis | nixnoob, do you think it might be a bin? | 17:19 |
| Mr_Bad_News | it is | 17:19 |
| newk | |thebarold| already converted | 17:19 |
| nixnoob | anolis: so ./ | 17:19 |
| anolis | nixnoob, well yea | 17:19 |
| _Thorn_ | minion35, Source code takes forever to compile etc etc... and gegl won't compile here... yada yada | 17:19 |
| _Thorn_ | I guess I have no choice then | 17:19 |
| _Thorn_ | damn | 17:20 |
| anolis | Mr_Bad_News, do ./*.run | 17:20 |
| _Thorn_ | Here goes 6 hours trying to compile gimp | 17:20 |
| |TheBarold| | newk: and are these on the hdd that ubuntu is on? or another drive? or external? | 17:20 |
| _Thorn_ | -> | 17:20 |
| nixnoob | anolis: with sudo | 17:20 |
| Mr_Bad_News | doesnt do anything either | 17:20 |
| Mr_Bad_News | i already did anolis | 17:20 |
| nixnoob | Mr_Bad_News: does it tell you an error message? | 17:20 |
| Mr_Bad_News | that didnt do anything either | 17:20 |
| Mr_Bad_News | no | 17:20 |
| anolis | Mr_Bad_News, are you in the proper directory? | 17:20 |
| Mr_Bad_News | it doesnt do anything | 17:21 |
| FloodBot1 | Mr_Bad_News: Please don't flood, use http://paste.ubuntu.com to paste, don't use Enter as punctuation. | 17:21 |
| Mr_Bad_News | yes | 17:21 |
| minion35 | THORN try sudo it . . . | 17:21 |
| nixnoob | anolis: i dont know what he did wrong? its not possible | 17:21 |
| piratelordx | DRebellion: its not a firefox bug... i have tried the same site with firefox in windows and it loads fine.. also i have tried several other web browsers in linux and they all have the same issue | 17:21 |
| DRebellion | piratelordx, well, I have no idea what may be causing it. | 17:21 |
| anolis | Mr_Bad_News, where is it saved to? is it on your desktop? | 17:22 |
| Mr_Bad_News | home | 17:22 |
| anolis | ok, then in a terminal do chmod +x ~/*.run | 17:22 |
| jedimind | DRebellion: any idea on how i would debug this printing issue ? | 17:22 |
| Mr_Bad_News | i did | 17:22 |
| nixnoob | Mr_Bad_News: and if you do ls is the .run file listed there? | 17:22 |
| jedimind | not even sure what logs any errors might be in | 17:22 |
| anolis | and then do sudo ~/*.run | 17:22 |
| anolis | Mr_Bad_News, and paste the output of that | 17:23 |

| Mr_Bad_News | i have | 17:23 |
| nixnoob | anolis: Mr_Bad_News its not executable | 17:23 |
| nixnoob | Mr_Bad_News: you need to do sudo chmod +x ati-driver* | 17:23 |
| anolis | nixnoob, o_O | 17:23 |
| nixnoob | Mr_Bad_News: with sudo | 17:23 |
| jedimind | DRebellion: was asking i guess for which log file specifically might have it, i guess i'll do some research thanks | 17:24 |
| anolis | nixnoob, you shouldn't need to use sudo. | 17:24 |
| xeno99 | I wish to installed esound as pulseaudio is not working properly. However, it says that if I install esound, it will remove pulseaudio AND ubuntu-desktop. Does that mean that gnome will be removed? | 17:24 |
| Mr_Bad_News | i did just a second ago and it was rwx | 17:24 |
| xeno99 | install* | 17:24 |
| nixnoob | anolis: yes to make something executable you need sudo | 17:24 |
| TiredWolf | xeno99: no, ubuntu-desktop is just a metapackage | 17:24 |
| DRebellion | jedimind, cups? | 17:24 |
| TiredWolf | !ubuntu-desktop | xeno99 | 17:24 |
| ubottu | xeno99: k/ed/x/ubuntu-desktop is a metapackage. It depends upon other packages and brings them in; you can safely remove it, but it is recommended that you re-install it when upgrading. | 17:24 |
| anolis | nixnoob, not if you own the file, afaik | 17:24 |
| minion35 | does any one have any problems using alien? | 17:24 |

| TiredWolf | !alien | minion35 | 17:24 |
| ubottu | minion35: RPM is the RedHat Package Management system. Ubuntu uses !APT, not RPM. RPM packages are not supported (the package "alien" can allow installing them, but it's quite dangerous) | 17:24 |
| TiredWolf | minion35: so yes, people do have problems when using it. | 17:24 |
| jedimind | minion35: my alien always gives me trouble, i feed the bastard and he has nice accomodations in my basement, i dont know what he's bitching about | 17:24 |
| krod | wtf | 17:25 |
| krod | I can't install ubuntu it keep freezing | 17:25 |
| xeno99 | Is there any way of marking an install as 'undoable'. For example, if I install esound but wanted to backtrack back to what it was before, how can I do that ? | 17:25 |
| nixnoob | anolis: yea its a precaution you need to use sudo for all driver files i think its from the dev side | 17:25 |
| krod | I tried burning the cd twice now | 17:25 |
| anolis | Mr_Bad_News, try sudo sh <filepath/name> | 17:25 |
| Yoni | I had an hard drive with 3 paratitions (each 20Gb) on the MBR I installed XP sp2, on the second paratition I installed ubuntu 8.4... without swap (I have 2GB of ram) & GRUB isn't running so I can't run ubuntu :\ | 17:25 |
| xeno99 | i.e. without having to remember that I need to reinstall pulseaudio AND ubuntu-desktop etc | 17:25 |
| krod | some one help? | 17:25 |
| raw__ | Hello | 17:25 |
| raw__ | Can anyone help ? | 17:25 |
| hateball | !ask | raw__ | 17:26 |

| jedimind | raw__: that was the most insightful request for help ever | 17:26 |

| raggi | ok, seriously, you fucks patched command line ftp to attach it to a broken keychain system??? lol! | 17:26 |
| raw__ | jedimind, from the time i set extra effects, every windows i minimize i can't see it on the taskbar. | 17:26 |
| sipior | raggi: keep a civil tongue in your head, sir. | 17:26 |
| Pici | raggi: That language is uncalled for here. | 17:26 |
| Mr_Bad_News | what is going on anolis last time it just worked | 17:27 |
| minion35 | tut tut raggi | 17:27 |
| Mr_Bad_News | i didnt have to install anything | 17:27 |
| raggi | yeah, sorry | 17:27 |
| DRebellion | cronholio, ask in #ubuntu-devel | 17:27 |
| raggi | it did save me from attacking the machine... | 17:27 |
| raggi | but seriously now | 17:27 |
| raggi | ftp? | 17:28 |
| cronholio | DRebellion, thx | 17:28 |

| raw__ | I'm having a problem. I'm having the latest ubuntu on my pc and I have extra effects but every window am minimizing it dissappears. Can anyone help me here or ? | 17:28 |
| anolis | Mr_Bad_News, i've done what i can, try reading the instructions | 17:28 |
| raggi | ok, so... this keychain | 17:28 |
| EvilDennisR | raggi: Are you done talking yet? | 17:28 |
| raggi | why owuld the keychain not work in command line? | 17:28 |
| raw__ | What i have to do ? | 17:29 |
| raggi | EvilDennisR: not unless i take the approach of banning all ubuntu from the building on the grounds that updates can cause every single app that auths over the net to lock up due to some problem | 17:29 |
| raw__ | anyone ? | 17:29 |
| raggi | which i'd rather not do, it's somewhat drastic | 17:29 |
| taller | hi there | 17:29 |
| EvilDennisR | raggi: It sounds like you have a lot of work to do then. Good luck | 17:29 |
| Saladin | raw__: Do a metacity --replace in the terminal, which will reset the effects. | 17:29 |
| sipior | raw__: do they show up when you cycle through with alt-tab? | 17:29 |
| fograven | I'm having trouble installing JAVA and RSSowl in Hardy can anyone help, I have googled to end. | 17:30 |

| raw__ | yes they show up sipior with alt tab | 17:30 |
| newbe1 | need a game controller anyone have a idea | 17:30 |
| Saladin | Then, look through your settings without activating them to try and identify where the problem lies | 17:30 |
| raw__ | Saladin, am somehow new i dont know how to do metacity | 17:30 |
| fograven | I'm having trouble installing JAVA and RSSowl in Hardy can anyone help, I have googled to end. | 17:30 |
| nixnoob | Mr_Bad_News: because it requires a composite manager like compiz which you dont have running | 17:30 |

| Mr_Bad_News | i did | 17:33 |
| Mr_Bad_News | it didnt work | 17:34 |
| raw__ | sipior, you know how can i fix it ? | 17:34 |

| raw__ | nixnoob, before everything i minimized was taking place somewhere on the bar here. now they are hidden. | 17:48 |
| [tv] | i think this problem is simple enough to ask here, at least i think i do lol. I'm trying to set up something in the menu editor and i just cannot figure this out. | 17:48 |
| [tv] | it drives me crazy having like 10 windows open at once, even across workspaces | 17:48 |

| arvind_khadri | [tv], try #xfce too | 17:49 |
| nocive | [tv]: i'm a xubuntu user, but honestly, i didn't understood what your problem is | 17:49 |
| [tv] | Yea its funny i have a good amount of respect for anyone who comes here regularly and not just to bitch about their problems. | 17:49 |

| nixnoob | raw__: i have no idea why that would happen, try to logout and login | 17:50 |
| [tv] | It wont let me 'dock' programs, so they can just run on the same bar as the xfce menu | 17:50 |
| raw__ | i tried it. nixnoob if i want to remove compiz because i think that is the problem, how can i do it completely remove ? | 17:50 |
| arvind_khadri | raw__, sudo apt-get autoremove compiz-fusion | 17:51 |

| x3 | However even thought the printer has a card reader say reads SD cards etc reads any of the sizes except a brand new "GB sd card I got (verey other PC/PDA etc reads it fine | 17:52 |
| [tv] | no, i just want to be able to dock my torrent manager and IM/IRC manager, so i dont have to keep it minimized. | 17:52 |
| nixnoob | raw__: you dont really need to remove it, you can just NOT run it. | 17:52 |
| Yoni | Hi pplz | 17:52 |
| arvind_khadri | kevinO, very bad | 17:52 |

| nocive | [tv]: is it possible to dock any program? I don't use that feature, I'm not familiar with it. I can dock programs that specifically have that behaviour, like pidgin | 17:55 |

| lusule | maybeway36, what's icewm? | 20:01 |
| maybeway36 | a window manager | 20:01 |
| Condoulo | icewm is a window manager | 20:01 |
| maybeway36 | it's in the repos | 20:01 |

| ubottu | Launchpad bug 253072 in ubuntu "wrong dpi value for rendering fonts" [Undecided,New] | 20:02 |
| Bogus8 | why would it be that sudo sometimes ask for the password and sometimes doesn't? | 20:02 |
| Condoulo | I am setting up a file server for a friend, so I set up Ubuntu server with Samba services, but how would I install a UI on top of it? | 20:02 |
| Jupp3 | Bogus8: There's some kind of timeout | 20:02 |
| Bogus8 | Jupp3: ? | 20:02 |
| legend2440 | !hostname | lusule | 20:02 |
| ubottu | lusule: Use hostname <somehostname> to set the hostname, or to do it permanently: edit /etc/hostname and /etc/hosts . WARNING! Make sure that your current hostname and /etc/hosts match, otherwise sudo may not work properly. Alternatively, use the gui at system>administration>networking on the "General" tab | 20:02 |
| maybeway36 | Condoulo: try system-config-samba | 20:02 |
| Bogus8 | I have "gilligan ALL= NOPASSWD: ALL" in the visudo file | 20:02 |
| Jupp3 | Bogus8: If you do it twice in a row, it will ask for the first | 20:02 |
| soundray | Bogus8: when you've entered it once, within the same session, it won't ask again for the next 15 minutes | 20:03 |
| Jupp3 | Bogus8: But if you wait long enough, it asks again | 20:03 |
| Bogus8 | gotcha | 20:03 |
| qunix | =t | 20:03 |
| Bogus8 | ok, so how do I get it to stop | 20:03 |
| lusule | legend2440, i don't think that was meant for me? | 20:03 |
| Jupp3 | Bogus8: Stop doing what? | 20:03 |
| Condoulo | maybeway36, maybe I shouldn't have suggested Samba. :P I mean how would I install a UI on top of Ubuntu server? | 20:03 |
| ndumac | is there another place to set environment variables, other then .bashrc, for the desktop environment ? | 20:03 |
| Bogus8 | I've set it up on a few debian boxes but mirroring that isn't working here | 20:03 |
| Jupp3 | stop not asking password sometimes? | 20:03 |
| soundray | ndumac: $HOME/.gnomerc | 20:03 |
| Bogus8 | Jupp3: yeah, I just want to be able to sudo without passwords for anything for my user | 20:03 |
| ndumac | soundray: great thanks i'll try that | 20:03 |
| kdubois | what is the name of the stock install compiz package? is it just compiz? | 20:04 |
| ndumac | soundray: i shouldn't expect it to already exist shoudl i ? | 20:04 |
| legend2440 | lusule: open /etc/hostname and /etc/hosts make sure they match. that can effect opening admin programs. worth a look anyway | 20:04 |
| soundray | ndumac: no | 20:04 |
| steel_lady | please what can I do? something is very wrong with my repositories. how can I install pidgin since kopete stopped working? | 20:04 |
| bastid_raZor | Bogus8; after you start a shell you could do sudo bash .. that would have the current terminal running as root. dangerous but do'able | 20:04 |
| Jupp3 | Bogus8: Also sudo su works | 20:05 |
| soundray | steel_lady: you said earlier that you had a disk space shortage. Sort that out first | 20:05 |
| Bogus8 | bastid_raZor: well, in my other installs I always set up visudo to not ask via "<username> ALL= NOPASSWD: ALL" | 20:05 |

| lusule | legend2440, ah thank you | 20:05 |
| soundray | ndumac: did you restart gnome? | 20:06 |
| Bogus8 | hehe | 20:06 |
| bastid_raZor | Bogus8; in my opinion that is boneheaded idea. i prefer to use sudo for all root needed things. i never do sudo bash or sudo su | 20:06 |
| lusule | whoever it was suggested i try icewm, apart from being completely bizarre, it seems to work | 20:06 |
| ubottu | bastid_raZor, Jupp3, Bogus8: Using !sudo with single commands is preferable in most circumstances. However, if you really need a root shell, use « sudo -i » (other variants of this commands are redundant and/or potentially dangerous) | 20:06 |
| ndumac | soundray: no i just ran source on the file | 20:06 |

| soundray | ndumac: that won't make gnome rereade it | 20:06 |
| raul | oi | 20:07 |

| ndumac | soundray: rebooting | 20:07 |
| meep-meep | ndumac: no reboot | 20:07 |

| bastid_raZor | Bogus8; i under that. it severely defeats the purpose of having a user account. | 20:08 |
| ndumac | meep-meep: won't that have the same effect as restarting gdm ? | 20:08 |
| Bogus8 | Flannel: I'm the only one on these boxes and it's easier than having to type in a password ;) | 20:08 |
| soundray | ndumac: it'll take a bit longer and some people consider it un-Linux-y | 20:08 |
| Chousuke | People really don't care about security :( | 20:08 |
| Bogus8 | bastid_raZor: well, I don't want to ALWAYS sudo, i just don't want the password prompt when I do | 20:08 |
| Bogus8 | so in that case it doesn't | 20:08 |
| ndumac | soundray: hah, well already rebooted | 20:08 |
| soundray | ndumac: that was quick | 20:09 |
| Flannel | Bogus8: You'll find you will use sudo less as time goes on. Just live with it for the next week or so. | 20:09 |
| soundray | ndumac: has it worked? | 20:09 |
| ndumac | soundray: it's just a D620 | 20:09 |
| ndumac | soundray: trying | 20:09 |
| nocive | Bogus8: edit /etc/sudoers | 20:09 |
| ndumac | soundray: doesn't appear to have | 20:09 |
| Bogus8 | Flannel: well, that would be ok... but that still doesn't explain why sudo is working differently in ubuntu than it has in debian | 20:09 |
| ArielMT | Bogus8: man sudoers and look at the timestamp_timeout option | 20:09 |

| Chousuke | Bogus8: sudo works differently in ubuntu? | 20:10 |
| Bogus8 | ArielMT: it's not a matter of the time stamp.... I want to set it up to never ask... not just not time out | 20:10 |
| Bogus8 | Chousuke: apparently it does... which is why I am trying to sort it out | 20:10 |
| nocive | Bogus8: and still it asks you for password? | 20:10 |
| Bogus8 | nocive: yeah | 20:10 |
| Chousuke | how does it work differently? | 20:10 |
| SakuraKinomoto | thanks soundray | 20:11 |
| Bogus8 | Chousuke: I have identical visudo files (sudoers) and one box ask me for passwords and the other doesn't | 20:11 |
| SakuraKinomoto | guys, i need help in another question | 20:11 |
| soundray | Bogus8: did you use 'sudo visudo' to edit sudoers? | 20:11 |
| Chousuke | I don't agree with your decision to use nopasswd; at least *never* recommend others to do it. | 20:11 |
| bastid_raZor | Bogus8; 1 sec.. i'll give you what you're needing. | 20:11 |
| Bogus8 | soundray: yes sir | 20:11 |
| dbrewer_rjr | i just set up my second server on a vmware host, and the nameserver will not resolve. I cannot apt-get anything | 20:11 |
| SakuraKinomoto | can i change the console "resolution"? i don't want to use it with just 25 lines and 80 columns... i have a big sreen... | 20:11 |

| bastid_raZor | Bogus8; start another terminal and you're done. | 20:12 |

| === kaffee is now known as julia | ||
| bastid_raZor | Bogus8; ubuntu obviously has some tweaks that make it act differently than debian | 20:13 |

| Bogus8 | bastid_raZor: oh, I got several open here ;) so each new terminal (log in) is a new timestamp? | 20:27 |
| zvacet | steel_lady_ :http://ubuntuguide.org/wiki/Ubuntu:Feisty#How_to_add_extra_repositories try this source list | 20:27 |
| dbrewer_rjr | zvacet: it is a server out on a server farm running vmware. the other server on the box has no probs doing apt-get update. this one on the same box just gives me resolve errors | 20:27 |
| Bogus8 | Oh, now on to topic two of the oddities... | 20:28 |
| bastid_raZor | Bogus8; yes, each terminal is completely seperate than the other | 20:28 |
| Bogus8 | I have ssh setup with the correct keys but it doesn't let me in from all boxes just my putty | 20:28 |
| dbrewer_rjr | zvacet:it is not the network card, cause i am securecrt to the server | 20:28 |
| Snares_ubuntu | bogus: do you have port 22 forwarded | 20:28 |
| Snares_ubuntu | Bogus8: do you have port 22 forwarded* | 20:29 |
| Bogus8 | Snares_ubuntu: I'm local | 20:29 |

| Gigi | Hi! How can I migrate all my passwords to firefox to opera? | 20:29 |
| Snares_ubuntu | ]from firefox to opera I'm betting ;) | 20:29 |
| Bogus8 | Snares_ubuntu: shouldn't be... i don't have one installed and I'm connecting to 192... I was able to do it using passwords | 20:29 |
| Gigi | from firefox to opera | 20:29 |

| AzizLight | is there a way to change the chmod of a folder and all its subfolders/files using the terminal please? | 20:31 |
| SakuraKinomoto | i was editing sudoers using visudo, but the program closed unexpectedly and i can't use visudo again... it's locked, how can i unlock? | 20:31 |
| soundray | AzizLight: use the -r option | 20:31 |
| zvacet | dbrewer_rjr : I can not help you sorry :'( | 20:31 |
| Snares | AzizLight: chmod a+*** -R I believe | 20:31 |
| bastid_raZor | Bogus8; see.. already problems ;) make sure all the boxes have the keys | 20:31 |
| Snares | yeah@ soundray | 20:31 |
| Bogus8 | Snares: yeah, I even scp'd my .pub keys to the new box from the old and appeneded them to the authkeys file | 20:32 |
| soundray | SakuraKinomoto: reboot to recovery mode and run visudo from there | 20:32 |
| AzizLight | I tried chmod 755 -r /path/to/my/folder and I got an error. I tried chmod -r 755 too and I also got an error | 20:32 |
| Bogus8 | bastid_raZor: :p I had this problem before :p | 20:32 |
| bastid_raZor | Bogus8; i was referring to issues with visudo ^^ | 20:32 |
| Bogus8 | all my boxes have keys... I even tried both dsa and rsa keys and I even used -i to make sure it was using the right ones | 20:32 |
| Bogus8 | bastid_raZor: oh, I missed the question ;) | 20:33 |
| soundray | AzizLight: with chmod, it's -R | 20:33 |
| soundray | AzizLight: man chmod for more information | 20:33 |
| synusoid | I have a weird problem. My cd tray doesn't want to work(open or close, with or without a cd on). Sometimes it does, but for a little. I have installed Ubuntu and Vista on a brand new Toshiba laptop. Eject | 20:33 |
| Bogus8 | bastid_raZor: haha.. yeah, that's my fault :p | 20:33 |
| bastid_raZor | Bogus8; there is a tutorial on how to set up the keys correctly.. you could double check against that to see if you've completed all the steps correctly. i use the same key for at least two servers i connect to. | 20:33 |
| bastid_raZor | Bogus8; heh | 20:33 |
| Bogus8 | bastid_raZor: well, it's not rocket science and I've done it a dozen times before (and multiple keys per box) | 20:34 |
| riaal | best way to run a script every 10 seconds? | 20:34 |
| bastid_raZor | riaal; cron | 20:34 |
| ManualOverDozer8 | riaal: cron jobs ? | 20:34 |
| AzizLight | soundray: yeah I just rechecked the man and saw that it was -R not -r, thanks for the help | 20:34 |
| steel_lady_ | ok I forgot how to add the APT line? which command to edit the file? | 20:34 |
| soundray | riaal: 'while true ; do sleep 10 ; run script ; done | 20:34 |

| Fishscene | I'm curious as to how to edit my fstab to auto-mount an internal hard drive to a specific directory. I followed a tutorial, but it doesn't seem to be working. | 20:35 |
| sonink | I've tried mounting an NTFS partition with cluster size of 8KB and 16KB using ntfs-3g and it mounts but the 'mount' command shows it still detected a blocksize of 4KB. Will it be correctly reading and writing with the proper cluster size? | 20:35 |
| soundray | SakuraKinomoto: 'EDITOR=/usr/bin/nano visudo' | 20:35 |
| riaal | soundray: that a good idea, thanks | 20:36 |
| synusoid | Eject doesn't work either. Doesn't work on Vista either. Vista says something else is accessing the drive. What could that be? | 20:36 |
| SakuraKinomoto | soundray: is it an environment variable? | 20:36 |
| soundray | SakuraKinomoto: yes | 20:36 |
| Gigi | I need to know two thing. 1st How can I export my firefox passwords. 2nd How can I download youtube videos | 20:37 |
| Gigi | thanks! | 20:37 |
| viqas_ | youre welcome | 20:37 |
| Fishscene | Does anyone know how to edit fstab? | 20:37 |
| soundray | !fstab > Fishscene | 20:37 |
| viqas_ | Fishscene: sudo nano /etc/fstab | 20:37 |
| ubottu | Fishscene, please see my private message | 20:37 |
| Gigi | Fishscene sudo nautilus until you reach the file | 20:38 |
| soundray | !gksu | Gigi | 20:38 |
| ubottu | Gigi: If you need to run graphical applications as root, use « gksudo », as it will set up the environment more appropriately. Never just use "sudo"! (See http://psychocats.net/ubuntu/graphicalsudo to know why) | 20:38 |
| Fishscene | Soundray, coincidentaly, that's the exact tutorial I used | 20:38 |
| Gigi | makes sense soundray | 20:38 |
| Fishscene | I can manually mount the drive drive just fine. It's the fstab configuration that's got me | 20:39 |
| Bogus8 | bastid_raZor: I looked at the keys in nano (my old faithful editor) and it looks fine... I even moved "known host" just to eliminate that and still "Permission denied (publickey)." | 20:39 |
| soundray | Fishscene: that should have put you in a position to ask more specifically | 20:39 |
| Fishscene | What's the link to binbucket so I don't spam stuff in here? | 20:40 |
| sonink | Fishscene: what does the line you're using in your Fstab look like right now? | 20:40 |

| matt___ | hi - i'm trying to install lamp on 8.04 - there was a single apt-get install command for it in 7.10 but i've forgotten i! can anyone remind me? | 20:40 |
| Gigi | I need to know two thing. 1st How can I export my firefox passwords. 2nd How can I download youtube videos. Thanks guys! | 20:41 |
| soundray | synusoid: there's something wrong with your drive itself -- I don't think this is an Ubuntu problem | 20:41 |
| ManualOverDozer8 | synusoid does it open correctly with the eject button on the cdrom itself ? | 20:41 |
| Fishscene | http://paste.ubuntu.com/31838/ | 20:41 |
| sugi | hey | 20:42 |
| soundray | Gigi: 1) please ask one question at the time. 2) Firefox passwords can't be exported, except manually one-by-one, 3) Use the download link on the page | 20:42 |

| kushalsejwal | Greeting everybody, I used Brasero to burn a DVD, at the end of burning it asked again to load the DVD for data integrity(no DVD god corrupted its not working now :() what does Data integrity means?? | 20:42 |
| SakuraKinomoto | thanks soundray | 20:42 |
| robf | whats a good flowcharting app? | 20:43 |
| synusoid | ManualOverDozer8: soundray: no, the button and the command eject both won't work. Vista says something is using my cd drive. The problem is sometimes it works, so it's hard to point out what the problem could be | 20:43 |
| soundray | Fishscene: you can only have one set of options -- delete the lonely 'auto'. | 20:43 |
| ManualOverDozer8 | kushalsejwal ensures that the burn was successful and all the data is good. it verifys that the burn went good | 20:43 |
| Gigi | soundray and how about from the folder .mozilla / firefox? I managed to export firefox2firefox when I upgraded to the last ubuntu (it was time for a clean install after three years of upgrades and updates) | 20:43 |
| synusoid | it seems to work fine if I use the live cd for Ubuntu | 20:44 |
| Gigi | do they share filetypes? | 20:44 |
| kushalsejwal | ManualOverDozer8: Okay, but is it necessary?? | 20:44 |
| synusoid | but I don't know, it could be a coincidence, lol | 20:44 |
| ManualOverDozer8 | synusoidis there a cd in the drive you wish to remove ? there is a small pin-hole near the eject button, push a small pin in there to manually eject the drive | 20:44 |
| bastid_raZor | Gigi; copy the .mozilla directory.. it will the majority of all things the same. i had to redo all my saved passwords though | 20:44 |
| soundray | Fishscene: not sure if the double quotes are sufficient to escape the space. If it still doesn't work, try a backslash before the space, or avoid the space in the directory name altogether | 20:44 |
| lunartear | any advanced sshers around? I'm trying to figure out if i can have sshd forward a port when it starts with host auth | 20:44 |
| ManualOverDozer8 | synusoid only use that if the drive wont eject at all. i cant tell you why the OS wont eject it. it should, but it can be a number of reasons why it dont | 20:45 |
| legend2440 | robf: there is package called kivio in synaptic | 20:45 |
| synusoid | ManualOverDozer8: nothing inside. The problem arises with or without a cd inside. And I don't want to open it with a pin every time, especially considering it a brand new laptop... | 20:46 |
| Penol | I have trouble with oidentd, it dont work. this is what the message in syslog is | 20:46 |

| ManualOverDozer8 | synusoid if it is under warranty you should see who you got it from to have it replaced (at no charge) | 20:46 |

| raven79 | bye all | 20:47 |
| ManualOverDozer8 | synusoid if you bought one and the cd tray never ejects, that is hardly worth any money at all | 20:47 |
| bastid_raZor | bman___; kde 3.5 or kde 4.*? | 20:47 |
| bman___ | bastid_raZor: Not sure, whatever is on the disc | 20:48 |
| ManualOverDozer8 | synusoid it doesnt sound to be an Ubuntu issue, as Vista does the same thing. its more like hardware in which this isnt the right channel for that | 20:48 |
| soundray | synusoid: in any case, what you have is not an Ubuntu issue. Try ##hardware perhaps | 20:48 |
| synusoid | how could I see what processes are accessing the drive? | 20:48 |

| hachi | anyone know how to specify to casper where to find its filesystem image? I'm pouring over the initramfs source but I can't find the answer | 20:48 |
| ManualOverDozer8 | there is an o"open file" command, but, i forget what it is | 20:48 |
| soundray | synusoid: lsof or fuser. But neither will solve your problem | 20:49 |
| hachi | anyone know where I can find people who have a clue about casper's startup routines inside the initramfs on the install systems? there's no documentation of startup options that I can find, and the source is a bit convoluted | 20:51 |
| Jeren | Greetings again. Now that I have my Ubuntu Server box up with LAMP, I'm attempting to upload files to /var/www via SFTP. However, I apparently don't have permission to do so. What would be a good way to resolve this? | 20:52 |
| steel_lady_ | zvacet, are you still here? | 20:53 |
| kenkku | Jeren: add yourself to the group that owns it | 20:53 |
| kenkku | Jeren: it might be www-data or something | 20:53 |
| Jeren | kenkku: If I'm reading my screen right, /var/www is owned by root. | 20:53 |
| steel_lady_ | please I need help to instal pidgin! | 20:54 |
| geirha | Jeren: what about the group ownership? ls -ld /var/www | 20:54 |
| kenkku | Jeren: let's check, execute this in a terminal: ls -l /var/ |grep www | 20:54 |
| kenkku | apparently geirha had a better one :p | 20:54 |

| zvacet | steel_lady_ : I just try to find deb file for feisty that is all | 20:55 |
| Fishscene | ok I got rid of the lonely auto, still not quite working: http://paste.ubuntu.com/31844/ | 20:55 |
| Jeren | geirha: Group ownership is also root | 20:55 |
| soundray | Fishscene: did you get what I said about the space? | 20:56 |
| ManualOverDozer8 | steel_lady_ use Synaptic Package Manager and search pidgin | 20:56 |
| Jeren | kenkku: I did your way, too, just to make you feel helpful :) Same result, obviously... | 20:56 |
| kenkku | hehe | 20:56 |
| Fishscene | soundray, yes, but I wonder why it mounts alright when using the mount command. | 20:56 |
| zvacet | steel_lady_ : try search forums nothing else cross my mind right now | 20:56 |
| Fishscene | Or is there another way to signify space? | 20:56 |
| ajbrun | hi, i'm trying to update from 7.10 to 8.04 - it's been doing the upgrade for about 13 hours now, and for the past 3 hours, it's said "about 4 minutes remaining" | 20:56 |
| ajbrun | has anyone got any advice please? | 20:57 |
| eth01 | how can people still use dialup? :) | 20:57 |
| soundray | Fishscene: it's different then, because the shell deals with the filename in that case, and knows to keep everything between the quotes together | 20:57 |
| geirha | Jeren: are you the only one who will need write access? | 20:57 |
| ajbrun | is it safe to quit/cancel it? It said now at the beginning | 20:57 |
| eth01 | hah. i'm being sarcastic. ignore me. | 20:57 |
| anirudh0 | ajbrun, yes | 20:57 |
| Fishscene | ah. Would you know of a way of retaining the space besides changing the directory name? That's a lot of work on my end to do so >.> | 20:57 |
| ajbrun | ok then - i'll try again tomorrow in that case | 20:57 |
| anirudh0 | ajbrun, downloaded files are in /var/cache/apt/ | 20:57 |
| anirudh0 | ajbrun, upgrade will resume from where it left | 20:58 |
| ajbrun | no - i think it's downloaded everything | 20:58 |
| anirudh0 | ajbrun, even better | 20:58 |
| ajbrun | but it's got stuck on the update | 20:58 |
| Jeren | geirha: Yes. Only one user account, and it'll be used just to update scripts and pages. | 20:58 |
| legend2440 | soundray: doesn't Fishscene need to specify partition type? ext3 or ntfs? | 20:58 |
| soundray | ajbrun: there is a known problem when upgrading locales -- do you want me to dig out the bug report? | 20:58 |
| phaktor | can you have the upgrade use a local mirror instead of mirror.ubuntu.com? | 20:58 |
| ajbrun | configuring locales | 20:58 |
| anirudh0 | ajbrun, just run "sudo apt-get dist-upgrade" from term | 20:58 |
| zvacet | eth01 : bexause they don´t have other options | 20:58 |
| geirha | Jeren: The following will give you ownership to /var/www and everything underneath it: sudo chown -R $USER /var/www | 20:58 |
| ajbrun | ah | 20:58 |
| anirudh0 | ajbrun, ah..see soundray's post | 20:58 |
| Fishscene | legend, that's what the lonely auto was for I thought. But I got rid of it anyway. >.> | 20:58 |

| jelman | hi! I've come accross an odd problem, I installed ubuntu server on the atom intel mini-itx board and while it mostly works the network interface (rtl8101e) doesn't when the network cable is plugged in, it does work when I plug it in after it has booted up though... (btw. this is not a windows/ubuntu dual boot) I then tried to build the new drivers from realtek which worked (r8168) but now the card remains in the unclaimed state... is there a | 21:44 |

| JDShewey | jelman: I had a problem with my intel board. I had put it in a new case which did not have a front panel for things like headphones. If you had a front panel audio jack, you may need to jumper where the connector was connected to get the sound to work or attach the front panel connecter and leave it in the bottom of the case (my solution.) | 21:46 |

| DRebellion | Fishscene, how about "\ " | 22:01 |
| Cheese | McShane - wow. Auto-pilot for the ATI driver? If this works I owe you a beer | 22:01 |
| ArielMT | Fishscene: replace the " " with "\ " or "\40" in the fstab file | 22:01 |
| DRebellion | linxeh, you need to add the hardy source to /etc/sources.list and then run sudo aptitude dist-upgrade | 22:01 |
| geirha | Fishscene: iirc, \040 | 22:01 |
| DRebellion | linxeh, you need to add the hardy source to /etc/sources.list and then run sudo aptitude full-upgrade | 22:01 |

| tsrk_ | Where's the samba share config stored? | 22:01 |

| Cheese | I never heard about it until now | 22:02 |
| Fishscene | The directory is: /Virtual Machines | 22:02 |
| geirha | Fishscene: yes, give it a try | 22:02 |
| ArielMT | Fishscene: either that or /Virtual\ Machine/ yes | 22:02 |
| linxeh | DRebellion: I thought there was a way to get aptitude/apt-get to do it automatically | 22:02 |

| DRebellion | linxeh, that was the way -.- | 22:03 |

| linxeh | DRebellion: i'm sure it isn't :o | 22:03 |

| Beererde | hi. i can't install windows anymore to my drive which has ubuntu on it. when i try to install windows, it installs some files, wants to reboot, but then only a blinking cursor appears.. | 22:16 |
| dethray | thanx audacious is exactly want I was looking for. :) | 22:16 |
| entropy5123 | I am having trouble trying to configure it | 22:16 |
| Sydero | it doesn't matter who the owner is Fishscene | 22:16 |
| bastid_raZor | Beererde; sadly the correct way to do a dual boot is to install windows first then ubuntu. | 22:16 |
| Sydero | you need to change the chmod | 22:16 |
| penguen | and you must be editing your smb.conf file | 22:16 |
| Beererde | bastid_raZor: yes but i can't install windows anymore | 22:16 |
| dethray | Agreed, the windows installer is VERY dumb. | 22:16 |
| bastid_raZor | Beererde; that statement makes no sense. | 22:17 |
| geirha | Fishscene: what filesystems are we talking about? "stat -f -c %T /var/lib/vmware/Virtual\ Machines/ /var/lib/vmware/Virtual\ Machines/drive2" | 22:17 |
| Sydero | setup a partition for windows first | 22:17 |
| Beererde | bastid_raZor: why | 22:17 |
| dethray | Or you could just run windows in vm. :D | 22:17 |
| entropy5123 | Anyone have any experience using gMobileMedia? | 22:17 |
| Sydero | no | 22:17 |
| Beererde | does not work. it does not find its harddrive anymore | 22:17 |
| bastid_raZor | Beererde; there must be a reason why windows does not install.. can't is not a reason. | 22:17 |
| Beererde | bastid_raZor: something with the mbr i think | 22:17 |
| Sydero | Create an NTFS primary partition | 22:18 |
| Beererde | bastid_raZor: but windows itself can't fix it | 22:18 |
| Beererde | Sydero: i dit | 22:18 |
| Beererde | did | 22:18 |
| Sydero | hmmm | 22:18 |
| bastid_raZor | Beererde; exactly why the recommended course is windows first then ubuntu.. windows is retarded about allowing dual boots | 22:18 |
| Beererde | then i used setup to install | 22:18 |
| dethray | what did you use to make the partition? | 22:18 |
| Beererde | gparted | 22:18 |
| dethray | Hmm | 22:19 |

| raw | Hello | 22:22 |
| bastid_raZor | Mr_Bad_News; #compiz-fusion may be the best channel to ask.. | 22:22 |
| Fishscene | Sounds good. I just have no idea howto pull this off. (I come from a Windows background). So mounting the drive in that directory doesn't mean that SAMBA permissions are inherited to the drive. | 22:22 |
| raw | nixnoob, if you are online thanks for your help before. ubuntu now works perfectly. | 22:22 |
| Fishscene | aka make the drive writeable via SAMBA | 22:22 |
| Mr_Bad_News | it worked fine last time i installed Sydero | 22:22 |

| dethray | HMm | 22:23 |
| dethray | I'll check that out | 22:23 |
| Buzzons | can't i just change "edgy" to hardy or heron.. or w/e it is? | 22:23 |
| ryanakca | How can you control the rate at which the cursor blinks in a terminal? Also, how could I configure it to be a block instead of an underscore '_'? | 22:23 |

| dethray | Sweet | 22:24 |

| GUY | Anyone here have any links to instructions to get VirtualBox USB support turned on in Hardy that are straight forward? | 22:24 |
| geirha | Fishscene: sorry, missed some keys. It's a bit hard to explain how permissions and ownership work, so I think it's best to just give you a link to read | 22:24 |
| McShane | Buzzons, you'll want to do a fresh install -- get a new ISO from the Ubuntu site | 22:24 |
| Buzzons | really? | 22:25 |
| McShane | yes | 22:25 |
| raw | How can I be 100% sure that am not missing any file on ubuntu ? | 22:25 |

| geirha | ubottu: tell Fishscene about permissions | 22:25 |
| McShane | no | 22:25 |
| ubottu | Fishscene, please see my private message | 22:25 |
| Sydero | you don't need a fresh install | 22:25 |
| Sydero | you can upgrade it easily | 22:25 |
| entropy5123 | Just saying Linux is pretty considerate of other operating systems and Windows just thinks you will use it and only it | 22:25 |
| Fishscene | *reading* | 22:25 |
| Buzzons | http://www.ubuntu.com/getubuntu/upgrading <== that says it is doable, but as my apt dist.list is out of date it can't grab the stuff needed | 22:25 |
| McShane | Sydero, he's upgrading from 6.06 | 22:25 |
| Buzzons | from 6.10 | 22:25 |
| Sydero | sudo apt-get update && sudo apt-get upgrade && sudo apt-get dist-upgrade | 22:25 |
| Sydero | doesn't matter | 22:25 |
| dethray | Do you know how current the package is resp? | 22:25 |
| Beererde | is there a flag which prevents the boot record from being written? | 22:25 |
| entropy5123 | Buzzons: Typically Hady Heron is refered to as Hardy | 22:25 |
| raw | How can I be 100% sure that am not missing any file on ubuntu ? Anyone please ? | 22:26 |

| McShane | Sydero, his sources list is completely out of date now -- like I said, he needs a new ISO | 22:26 |
| Buzzons | can't i just change the word "edgy" in the dist.list to "heron"? | 22:26 |

| steel_lady | I am going crazy, I miss space to update system, I removed 500MB and the amount of space stayed the same! | 22:54 |
| histo | steel_lady: empty the trash | 22:54 |
| Flannel | jeeves__: for everyone? or just you? | 22:54 |
| steel_lady | it is empty | 22:55 |
| binarydragon | steel_lady:run df -h and du -h to see what is useing all your space | 22:55 |
| histo | steel_lady: try sudo aptitude autoclean | 22:55 |
| histo | steel_lady: free up some more disk space. | 22:55 |
| histo | steel_lady: also make sure there aren't any crazy logs in /var/log | 22:55 |
| jeeves__ | Flannel, I'm the only one on this system | 22:55 |
| Mr_Bad_News | nice Blaqligh1 | 22:55 |
| Mr_Bad_News | could i get the config files? | 22:55 |
| Mr_Bad_News | i dont know histo | 22:55 |
| n1zjd_ | okay im about tired of this....im the computer owner and I do love ubuntu dont get me wrong....the other day I tried to edit index.html for the apache server....wouldnt let me....I know I can do it using sudo....but can I change permissions so this doesnt happen anymore?? | 22:55 |
| Flannel | jeeves__: make a folder for libraries (~/eaglelib or whatever) and then add that to your library path in Eagle, and they'll show up | 22:55 |
| idx | Ack! Ignore me, I was forgetting "sudo" | 22:55 |
| histo | n1zjd_: chmod | 22:56 |
| jeeves__ | Flannel, I d-loaded all of the lib files from the site, and then I've had to manually import them | 22:56 |
| steel_lady | histo sudo aptitude autoclean | 22:56 |
| histo | steel_lady: yeah | 22:56 |
| steel_lady | histo Freed 0B of disk space | 22:56 |
| binarydragon | nlzxj:yes you can but you have to be very carefull because apache is very picky wen it comes to that | 22:56 |
| n1zjd_ | do I need to do that with every file I want to access? | 22:56 |
| jeeves__ | Flannel, what config do I edit? | 22:56 |
| n1zjd_ | its not just apache...I could care less about apache | 22:56 |
| histo | steel_lady: how did you run out of disk space? How much do you have for / | 22:56 |
| n1zjd_ | but I tried to move a file from my desktop to /usr/share and get denied | 22:57 |
| Flannel | jeeves__: no, just stick them in a folder. Eagle doesn't "import", it just uses what it sees. They won't be "used" by default, but you want to do that on a per project basis anyway | 22:57 |
| binarydragon | just make you self part of the group of the file you are trying to add, i know apaches uses it's own group in some point | 22:57 |
| histo | n1zjd_: you probably want to create a www group and add your user to it. Someone else on here might know the "best" way | 22:57 |
| Flannel | jeeves__: Just do it through the Eagle GUI | 22:57 |
| jeeves__ | Flannel, I d-loaded them into the lbr folder, and nothing is showing up untill I import them | 22:57 |
| n1zjd_ | again sorry I mentioned apache...had nothing to do with apache specifically.... | 22:57 |
| tech0007 | how do i convert an xls to ics. i want to import it to evolution. | 22:58 |
| n1zjd_ | I want to be able to move a file to anywhere on the system I want to | 22:58 |
| steel_lady | histo I think I had 8G | 22:58 |
| histo | n1zjd_: you can't unless you are root. | 22:58 |
| histo | n1zjd_: there is a reason for that. | 22:58 |
| jeeves__ | Flannel, I have a few hundred of them. that's why I asked if there was an automated way of doing it | 22:58 |
| Fishscene | I ran: "aptutude --help" At the bottom it says "This aptitude does not have Super Cow Powers". LOL? | 22:58 |
| n1zjd_ | and what reason is that? | 22:58 |
| Flannel | tech0007: xls is a spreadsheet, ics is a calendar thing. You might be able to export xls as cvs, and evolution might be happy with that | 22:58 |
| n1zjd_ | to save yourself from yourself? | 22:58 |
| tech0007 | Flannel: ok | 22:58 |
| binarydragon | in What directory are those files located.the one you are trying to edit | 22:58 |
| histo | n1zjd_: so you don't bork your system editing files by accident etc... | 22:58 |

| Myrtti | sudo is the best method | 23:00 |
| jeeves__ | Flannel, I didn't know if there was a way of doing a cmd-line to import them | 23:00 |
| histo | n1zjd_: just add your user to that group and you will have access to edit the html files | 23:00 |
| XStylus | I've got a hard drive mounted in my machine and accessible, and my user account can read and write to it, but only me. I want all users of the machine to be able to read/write to it. | 23:00 |
| XStylus | 2nd hard drive, tha tis. | 23:00 |

| alraun1 | JJWilliams92: what problem ? | 23:14 |
| raw | alraun1, yes but am not so good. It was saying to burn ubuntu as an image. I don't know how to do it so I burned it from Nero as a Data Disc which I think is the same.. err am not sure. | 23:14 |
| Fishscene | JJWilliams92, does it happen when you leave it alone for a while? | 23:14 |
| nosto | ok is there a way to switch between applications running in wine? | 23:14 |
| nosto | like an "alt+tab" for wine? | 23:14 |
| JJWilliams92 | Sound comes on, if the Xorg.Conf is removed but without both screen and sound are dead. | 23:14 |

| MFietje | yes | 23:16 |
| raw | alraun1, i think it can work as a boot disc also. | 23:16 |
| JJWilliams92 | I've tried that, alaraun1. | 23:16 |
