| TiredWolf | alraune: i'm really not fond of pidgin as an IRC client anywhere... | 00:14 |

| AMDfanboy | amenado, so whats the best way to do it. i'm going through this....https://help.ubuntu.com/community/SettingUpNFSHowTo and i'm a bit confused | 00:25 |
| amenado | kepex mount it and then issue the command dmesg to see the status at the very end, if your system detected the usb stick | 00:25 |
| ompaul | addchild314, then you can't have done what I suggested when I suggested it, you said you quit during a process, I wanted to see if there was an error message at that time | 00:25 |
| alraune | konqi:sudo apt-get update && sudo apt-get upgrade don't solve this prob ? | 00:25 |

| Jack_Sparrow | chainedchaos not gonna happen | 01:29 |

How can I reverse the encryption - or make it not ask for the passphrase anymore ? | 01:31 |
| Jack_Sparrow | chainedchaos you cant anex physical partition space onto a logical inside an extended | 01:31 |

| naxxtor | elijah: err, 0% | 01:31 |
| Saj0577 | elijah that is high | 01:31 |
| Jack_Sparrow | chainedchaos You would need to resize your extended, and you probably cant do that unless you remove the logicals from inside it. | 01:31 |
| Jack_Sparrow | chainedchaos Do you have a seperate /home partition? | 01:31 |

| Flacker | digwiz01: try logging in as root | 01:50 |
| digwiz01 | log in as "root" or "/" ? | 01:50 |
| AMDfanboy | athlonfanboy: isnt that an intel machine? i figured you wanted an AMD machine? | 01:51 |
| tieTYT | when i run top or cat /proc/meminfo, it says i have about 150 mb left but the process that uses the most ram uses only 45% of the mem. What's going on? | 01:51 |
| digwiz01 | ack... ".."? | 01:51 |
| konqi | alraune: yes ;D still compiling kernel with kernelcheck...nice gui, easy to use also for old debian users ;) | 01:51 |

| AMDfanboy | athlonfanboy: i think you can get a refund now for the windows tax, if you something | 01:51 |
| histo | Ahh Okay install cd is hanging after loading the cdrom driver. Anyone have any ideas for possible workarounds? | 01:51 |
| athlonfanboy | turions suck | 01:51 |
| AMDfanboy | athlonfanboy: in that case get a turion | 01:51 |
| alraune | konqi: se pm ( for lorry sports) | 01:51 |
| jakspanna27 | can a wireless router be used to sniff other connections | 01:51 |
| athlonfanboy | no wait celeron does lol | 01:52 |

| digwiz01 | should this be so difficult | 01:52 |
| digwiz01 | ? | 01:52 |
| LiTHiUM0XiD3 | my wine cfg or something is making my games run at 4:3 screen ratios when i have 1280x800 and its cuttin em half off | 01:52 |
| LiTHiUM0XiD3 | any suggestions? | 01:53 |
| MrVirus | Nyax : any further thoughts | 01:53 |
| csky_max | lithium: what games specifically, and are there winedb references to the issues? | 01:53 |
| Nyax | Erm. | 01:53 |
| Nyax | Try putting the folder name in quotes. | 01:53 |
| AMDfanboy | athlonfanboy: they don't suck, they're basically the same thing and, the new turion, the turion ultra, which is trickling out now has a really nice low power CHIPSET with really nice integrated graphics. | 01:53 |
| jakspanna27 | does anyone know how to install default wireless configuration on /Hardy | 01:53 |
| Nyax | as in, cd "folder name" | 01:53 |
| MrVirus | liek cd/"storage 2" | 01:53 |
| alraune | konqi: se pm ( for lorry sports) | 01:53 |
| Nyax | right | 01:53 |
| Nyax | but without the slash | 01:53 |
| MrVirus | kk | 01:53 |
| LiTHiUM0XiD3 | Starcraft brood war.... | 01:53 |
| Nyax | just cd "storage 2" | 01:53 |
| AMDfanboy | i can't get NFS to work, i think its right, here's what i did http://pastebin.ubuntu.com/34582/ | 01:53 |
| LiTHiUM0XiD3 | i never had this problem b4... | 01:53 |
| LiTHiUM0XiD3 | i ran it on a different distro tho.. | 01:53 |
| alraune | digwiz01 : what do you want to do exactly ? | 01:53 |
| MrVirus | that's it.. got it.. | 01:53 |
| alraune | n3wb: saw your pm now.. | 01:54 |
| MrVirus | now should i use that method for all spaced folders? | 01:54 |
| Nyax | Yes. | 01:54 |
| MrVirus | kewl.. thanks Nyax | 01:54 |
| Nyax | But really, you should avoid uses spaces | 01:54 |
| athlonfanboy | oh never mind LOL the insprion that is cheaper has celeron where the Inspiron 1525N has pDC | 01:54 |
| Nyax | Try to use underscores instead. | 01:54 |
| Nyax | storage_2 | 01:54 |
| csky_max | wine config doesn't handle screen resolution, wine hands it off to Xorg... do you have the undesirable 4:3 ratio in your x config for some reason? try removing that option maybe | 01:54 |
| MrVirus | Nyax : ok.. will try that in future cd's lol | 01:55 |
| digwiz01 | add a folder to the partition that ubuntu is installed on named "filesystem", | 01:55 |
| csky_max | 1280x800 is really close to 4:3 too... | 01:55 |
| LiTHiUM0XiD3 | i unno | 01:55 |
| LiTHiUM0XiD3 | i run at proper 16:9 resolutions | 01:55 |
| csky_max | oh, wait, err... right. | 01:55 |
| LiTHiUM0XiD3 | never had this issue on my emachine b4 tho... | 01:55 |
| alraune | digwiz01 : answer with my nick, otherwise can't see you..,kk... | 01:56 |
| alraune | digwiz01 : open a terminal.. | 01:56 |
| digwiz01 | alraune: ok | 01:56 |

| csky_max | Lithium, I would make sure it's not application/platform specific to old blizzard games or something - but you did say you ran the game on the same display no problems on a different OS load? | 01:57 |
| LiTHiUM0XiD3 | so....... any ideas? | 01:57 |
| bahadunn | AMDfanboy: you got nfs working? | 01:57 |
| alraune | type: there you are | 01:57 |
| LiTHiUM0XiD3 | yes both with a slighty older version of this distro.... and with a debian based one called dream linux | 01:57 |

| AMDfanboy | i want him to be able to read the files in those directories | 01:58 |
| alraune | Jack_Sparrow:I'll look | 01:58 |
| csky_max | I would do "sudo cp /etc/X11/xorg.conf /etc/X11/xorg.conf.bak" then "sudo gedit /etc/X11/xorg.conf" and look at manually whacking the modeline for the 4:3 ratios you don't want | 01:58 |

| BrandonS | I have a problem where Mozilla Firefox and Four-in-a-row randomly closes for no reason. | 01:59 |
| AMDfanboy | as far as i read, that means 192.168.1.1 to 192.168.1.255 and then 24 means something special. | 01:59 |
| athlonfanboy | will ubuntu benefit from 2GB of ram from 1GB? | 01:59 |
| alraune | type: cd\ | 01:59 |
| bahadunn | AMDfanboy: nah you want 192.168.1.0/24 | 01:59 |
| csky_max | Jack: gksudo, yes thank you | 01:59 |
| alraune | digwiz01 : type : cd\ | 02:00 |
| Jack_Sparrow | athlonfanboy I didnt notice much difference | 02:00 |
| atallicus | Can anyone help me figure out what update broke my gtk2 themes? They won't skin the whole window anymore. | 02:00 |
| unop | digwiz01, heh .. sudo mkdir /newsgroup # mind the space and you probably don't want /newsgroup | 02:00 |
| AMDfanboy | athlonfanboy: depends, how hardcore are you? | 02:00 |
| csky_max | I always "sudo nano" so I forget :) | 02:00 |
| bahadunn | AMDfanboy: 192.168.1.1/24 only allows 192.168.1.1 and the /24 doesnt make sense for that address | 02:00 |
| alraune | digwiz01 : type : mkdir newsgroup | 02:00 |
| Jack_Sparrow | atallicus did you lose window decorations..? | 02:00 |
| AMDfanboy | ah, ok, let me try that | 02:00 |
| LiTHiUM0XiD3 | considering my connection is droppin like every 2 seconds im not too worried.. | 02:00 |
| bahadunn | AMDfanboy: 192.168.1.1/32 would make more sense if you wanted only 1 ip to connect | 02:00 |
| Jack_Sparrow | atallicus in term type metacity --replace | 02:00 |
| atallicus | Jack_Sparrow no metacity and emerald still work | 02:00 |
| bahadunn | AMDfanboy: but I think you want the entire network 192.168.1.0 to connect | 02:00 |
| digwiz01 | alraune: ahh, that worked! | 02:01 |
| unop | digwiz01, and use another name not "<news>" bad characters in name | 02:01 |
| athlonfanboy | just normal use | 02:01 |
| alraune | digwiz01 : worked now ? | 02:01 |
| athlonfanboy | and flightgear and sometimes kino | 02:01 |
| atallicus | Jack_Sparrow but gtk themes don't skin the whole inside of the window anymore | 02:01 |
| bahadunn | AMDfanboy: so the proper thing is to specify the network address 192.168.1.0/24 | 02:01 |
| alraune | digwiz01 : nice, brb | 02:01 |
| Jack_Sparrow | I need for someone that is running Hardy to pastebin an un-modified /etc/X11/xorg.conf thanks.. I need it for a tutorial I am working on. | 02:01 |
| digwiz01 | alraune: is there anyway to do that gui... its grayed out | 02:01 |
| alraune | digwiz01 : nice, brb | 02:01 |
| athlonfanboy | and vbox | 02:01 |
| AMDfanboy | athlonfanboy, get 2 gigs | 02:01 |
| bahadunn | AMDfanboy: the /24 is cidr notation for the entire 192.168.1.1-255 network space | 02:01 |
| Jack_Sparrow | atallicus I could venture a guess if I looked at your sources.list and saw what else if anything from outside our repos has been installed | 02:01 |
| csky_max | LiTHiUM0XiD3: also try running the Nvidia proprietary driver through Restricted Driver Manager if you aren't yet. | 02:01 |
| bahadunn | 192.168.1.1 usuaully being the gateway address and 192.168.1.255 being broadcast | 02:02 |
| atallicus | Jack_Sparrow would you like a paste bin | 02:02 |
| xeus | i need help | 02:02 |

| atallicus | just give me onsec | 02:02 |
| Jack_Sparrow | node357 ty very much | 02:02 |
| xeus | i can say my things that | 02:02 |
| xeus | ? | 02:02 |
| bahadunn | AMDfanboy: yeah you want the /24 | 02:02 |
| bahadunn | AMDfanboy: you just need to make it 192.168.1.0/24 instead of 192.168.1.1/24 | 02:02 |
| AMDfanboy | right, but 0, not 1 | 02:02 |
| bahadunn | right | 02:02 |
| AMDfanboy | let me try that | 02:03 |
| bahadunn | AMDfanboy: then restart nfs | 02:03 |
| alraune | Jack_Sparrow: http://pastebin.ubuntu.com/34585/ (xorg-native) | 02:03 |
| bahadunn | AMDfanboy: and your friend should be able to connect assuming he is on your internal 192.168.1.0/24 network | 02:03 |

| node357 | solexious, chmod 755 /dev/ttyS0 | 02:06 |
| Jack_Sparrow | bbl.. please play nice | 02:06 |
| alraune | digwiz01 : well the "/" is root, so usual user has no acces, but you can specify user acces, e.g. to newsgoup.. | 02:06 |

| node357 | solexious, sorry, the command is: sudo chmod 755 /dev/ttyS0 | 02:06 |
| atallicus | Jack_Sparrow Is there anyway for me to completely reinstall the whole theme engine to fix this problem without reinstalling ubuntu? | 02:06 |
| LiTHiUM0XiD3 | and my xorg seems to refer everything to a different config... | 02:06 |
| csky_max | LiTHiUM0XiD3: your driver should be fine then. One other thing to try out is windowed mode in Starcraft-under-Wine, as a test case, not as a solution... | 02:06 |
| digwiz01 | alraune: another question, when downloading programs for ubuntu, what file type should i be downloading? sorry for the uninteresting questions | 02:06 |

| digwiz01 | alraune: ahhh... just got it didnt catch the msg from the bot | 02:14 |
| csky_max | jakspanna27: I used "apt-cache search --names-only gtk" then eyeballed 'libgtk2.0-dev' as a likely match... | 02:14 |
| Jack_Sparrow | How to install anything in Ubuntu: http://monkeyblog.org/ubuntu/installing/ ./configure ; make ; sudo make install | 02:14 |

| alraune | digwiz01 : only bad people here, see ya, lol | 02:15 |
| bahadunn | AMDfanboy: by the way in your pastebin it seems you think you need to install the same stuff on the client system | 02:16 |
| bahadunn | AMDfanboy: but you do not need to install nfs server on client system | 02:16 |
| nickrud | Jack_Sparrow that' doesn't work for X yet, I think :) | 02:16 |
| bahadunn | AMDfanboy: nfs-common and portmap should be good enough | 02:16 |
| AMDfanbo1 | bahadunn: hi i want to share both ways, so i put server on both | 02:16 |
| alraune | [z]neo:first I want to tell you i found that if shared with win machines, a container done by win (even ext3) can be read both, ubu and win while.. | 02:16 |
| AMDfanbo1 | what was the mount command again that i should use on his computer? | 02:16 |
| AMDfanbo1 | thakns! | 02:17 |
| Jack_Sparrow | nickrud what does not work for X yet? | 02:17 |
| nickrud | ./configure make make install | 02:17 |
| [z]neo | alraune: im using that external enclosure with truecrypt for windows but now im using linux and im new here | 02:17 |
| alraune | [z]neo:containers set up with ubuntu couldn't be read with win | 02:17 |
| bahadunn | AMDfanbo1: mount NFS_SERVER_IP:/path/to/mount /path/to/local/mountpoint | 02:17 |
| Jack_Sparrow | nickrud sometimes my notes dont even make full sense to me | 02:18 |
| alraune | [z]neo:so far foreahead... | 02:18 |
| AMDfanbo1 | bahadunn: sudo mount 192.168.1.0:/home/brad/Desktop/docs/tunes /home/daniels/Desktop/brad | 02:18 |
| bahadunn | AMDfanbo1: no | 02:18 |
| csky_max | Is there a channel to talk about Intrepid? | 02:18 |
| bahadunn | AMDfanbo1: what is the ip of the server? | 02:18 |
| AMDfanbo1 | well, i figure its not static? | 02:18 |
| AMDfanbo1 | i think its 104 | 02:18 |
| node357 | csky_max: #ubuntu+1 | 02:18 |
| bahadunn | AMDfanbo1: you have dns setup? | 02:18 |
| fez_ | Konnichiwa | 02:18 |
| alraune | [z]neo:well, you got to mount the drive, then check the mountpoint an can than use the truecrypt-gui | 02:18 |
| AMDfanbo1 | bahadunn: dns? not sure? | 02:18 |
| bahadunn | AMDfanbo1: you get ip from dhcp? | 02:19 |
| AMDfanbo1 | bahadunn: yes, i think so | 02:19 |
| bahadunn | ah | 02:19 |
| bahadunn | might be a problem if your ip changes | 02:19 |
| AMDfanbo1 | bahadunn: thats the default on hardy, right? | 02:19 |
| bahadunn | AMDfanbo1: but to mount you can do this | 02:19 |
| Lvl21nerd | i had to do a reinstall of hardy and i forget now why the youtube videos are gray boxes | 02:19 |
| fez_ | Hey guys. how do I detect m graphics card via terminal? | 02:19 |
| Svenstar0 | fez_, lshw -C video | 02:19 |
| bahadunn | AMDfanbo1: mount 192.168.1.104:/home/brad/Desktop/docs/tunes /home/daniels/Desktop/brad | 02:19 |
| LetsGo67 | Where do I get a simple video editor like Windows Movie Maker for Ubuntu? | 02:19 |
| bahadunn | AMDfanbo1: you will need to mount the videos on another mountpoint though | 02:20 |
| Svenstar0 | LetsGo67, avidemux | 02:20 |
| bahadunn | AMDfanbo1: you are exporting two mounts over nfs from your config | 02:20 |
| Svenstar0 | LetsGo67, or kino, if you say simple | 02:20 |
| fez_ | can't wine run Virtual Dub LetsGo? | 02:20 |
| Lvl21nerd | how do i get video to work on youtube.....i get gray boxes instead of video | 02:20 |
| bahadunn | AMDfanbo1: so you might want to consider something like | 02:20 |
| LetsGo67 | Svenstar0: pitivi is a pain for me. Too simple, crashes... | 02:20 |
| bahadunn | AMDfanbo1: mount 192.168.1.104:/home/brad/Desktop/docs/tunes /home/daniels/Desktop/brad/tunes | 02:20 |
| bahadunn | AMDfanbo1: mount 192.168.1.104:/home/brad/Desktop/docs/videos /home/daniels/Desktop/brad/videos | 02:20 |
| [z]neo | alraune: how can i open the truecrypt gui? coz im using terminal window right now reading --help for truecrypt | 02:20 |
| Svenstar0 | LetsGo67, I didnt mention pitivi | 02:21 |
| === Svenstar0 is now known as Svenstaro | ||
| LetsGo67 | Svenstar0: but I need Theora support, or at least convert Theora to something else. | 02:21 |
| fez_ | thanks, I got the command now | 02:21 |
| alraune | [z]neo: äh: truecrypt ? | 02:21 |
| Svenstaro | LetsGo67, then use kino or avidemuix | 02:21 |
| LetsGo67 | Svenstar0: you didn't, I'm just saying that I had a bad experience with it. | 02:21 |
| [z]neo | alraune: yupz | 02:21 |
| Lvl21nerd | how do i get the gray boxes on youtube to be videos instead | 02:21 |
| AMDfanbo1 | bahadunn: hey that works! | 02:21 |
| Lvl21nerd | just getting gray boxe | 02:21 |
| dkulchenko | Hey everyone! If you live in Seattle, and use Linux, go to http://www.gslug.org, and join the meeting on the 9th! | 02:21 |
| alraune | [z]neo: type: truecrypt | 02:21 |
| LetsGo67 | Svenstao, I can't get theora to work, and kino is for KDE. | 02:21 |
| bahadunn | AMDfanbo1: as it should buddy | 02:21 |
| AMDfanbo1 | bahadunn: so the 104 won't be a problem? i figured that might change | 02:21 |
| AMDfanbo1 | ? | 02:22 |
| Svenstaro | LetsGo67, doesnt matter, just get the package. | 02:22 |
| bahadunn | AMDfanbo1: well if it changes your friend will have to remount with the new ip | 02:22 |
| [z]neo | gotcha | 02:22 |
| bahadunn | AMDfanbo1: you might want to set a static ip on your machine | 02:22 |
| alraune | [z]neo: see pm as goes on truecrypt | 02:22 |
| bahadunn | AMDfanbo1: what do you have a linksys router or something? | 02:22 |
| AMDfanbo1 | alright, thats a good start at least, thanks man! | 02:22 |
| AMDfanbo1 | i have trendnet | 02:22 |
| bahadunn | AMDfanbo1: your router probably just gives out a certain range of ips over dhcp | 02:23 |
| LetsGo67 | Svenstaro, Kino or Avidemux? | 02:23 |
| [z]neo | alraune: thanx, coz last night before i go to bed i type truecypt and it doest appear but now its pop up now | 02:23 |
| Lvl21nerd | hey how do i get youtube videos to play? i just get GRAY box instead of a video | 02:23 |
| AMDfanbo1 | ok, i can figure that out, but it works for now | 02:23 |
| Svenstaro | LetsGo67, both, why would it be a problem if one of them was in qt? | 02:23 |
| bahadunn | AMDfanbo1: you could assign a static ip of 192.168.1.10 or some ip that is not in the range | 02:23 |
| Hidyman | Is there a trick to installing 8.04 on an HP Pavillion a705w with a PCI Nvidia MX4400? | 02:23 |
| juano__ | zcat[1]: i finally managed to make my custom image with thinstation | 02:23 |
| AMDfanbo1 | yeah, i think i'll do that | 02:23 |
| bahadunn | AMDfanbo1: and then your friend wont get his mount messed up if you get a new ip over dhcp | 02:23 |
| LetsGo67 | Svenstaro, never mind, I already have KDE dependencies, supposedly. | 02:23 |
| AMDfanbo1 | right | 02:24 |
| juano__ | zcat[1]: it boots directly into rdesktop, and with some rdesktop options i managed to map the client's drives and stuff to the server | 02:24 |
| bahadunn | AMDfanbo1: he can continue using dhcp though | 02:24 |
| juano__ | zcat[1]: pretty good, you can even use syslinux and boot from hdd on the client | 02:24 |
| bahadunn | AMDfanbo1: and anyone else that comes to visit you for example | 02:24 |
| Lvl21nerd | help plz how do i get youtube videos to display....i just get a gray box | 02:24 |
| LetsGo67 | Svenstaro, do you know anything about why my ogg metadata is incorrect (ie. a 4 minute video shows up as 25 minutes) | 02:24 |
| juano__ | zcat[1]: only weird thing is resolution tuck at 640x480... i am trying another option now "-g" maybe it works | 02:25 |
| Svenstaro | LetsGo67, in VLC? | 02:25 |
| bahadunn | AMDfanbo1: your friend might want to consider making an fstab entry for the nfs mount as well so he doesnt have to keep mounting or whatever | 02:25 |
| LetsGo67 | Svenstaro, yes. | 02:25 |
| bahadunn | AMDfanbo1: or maybe figure out that network>places thing | 02:25 |
| Svenstaro | LetsGo67, duh, no I dont. | 02:25 |
| AMDfanbo1 | right | 02:25 |
| AMDfanbo1 | gotcha | 02:25 |
| AMDfanbo1 | network, places doesnt work | 02:25 |
| bahadunn | AMDfanbo1: there are also some nice mount options you can do on client side when you mount | 02:25 |
| LetsGo67 | Svenstaro, why does importing ogm take so long in Kino? I have 3GB of RAM! | 02:25 |
| bahadunn | AMDfanbo1: like nfs version 3 and others | 02:25 |
| Svenstaro | LetsGo67 doesnt matter, it recodes the movies before it imports them | 02:26 |
| Lvl21nerd | help plz my youtube videos show up as GRAY boxes instead of videos | 02:26 |
| bahadunn | AMDfanbo1: http://nfs.sourceforge.net/nfs-howto/ can help you out with the details | 02:26 |
| fez_ | whats your proc/ | 02:26 |
| AMDfanbo1 | bahadunn: very good. | 02:26 |
| LetsGo67 | Svenstaro, it is making a ".ogm.dv" movie, is that what you mean? | 02:26 |
| bahadunn | AMDfanbo1: enjoy | 02:26 |
| Lvl21nerd | hello i have a question | 02:27 |
| Svenstaro | LetsGo67, something like that, cant remember | 02:27 |
| Lvl21nerd | how do i get youtube videos to display instead of GRAY boxes | 02:27 |
| Lvl21nerd | i have the nonfree flash plugin | 02:27 |
| LetsGo67 | Sve starl | 02:27 |
| Lvl21nerd | and it says nspluginwrapper is installed | 02:27 |
| LetsGo67 | Svenstaro, keeps saying "skipping frame!" :( | 02:27 |
| zelrikriando | my firefox is going wild :/ | 02:28 |

| Lvl21nerd | yes | 02:28 |

| csky_max | Fezzler: I'm running Hardy+OOo+AMD | 02:28 |
| Lvl21nerd | yes....i just said it was installed | 02:28 |
| bahadunn | Lvl21nerd: so what is the problem? | 02:28 |
| Lvl21nerd | and youtube videos dont display....just gray boxes | 02:29 |
| Fezzler | csky_max: HMMM. It will not load on mine. Everything else works. I reinstalled. Not success | 02:29 |
| alraune | ) Fezzler: no prob at mine | 02:29 |
| bahadunn | Lvl21nerd: did you load the flashplugin with nspluginwrapper? | 02:29 |
| alraune | ) Fezzler: did you install meanwhile ? | 02:29 |
| LetsGo67 | Svenstaro: Cinerella is too complicated, Avidemux has no ogg support, PiTiVi can barely do anything, LiVes doesn't support ogg and looks ugly, Kino skips frames... what should I do? Where is the "open source Windows Movie Maker"? | 02:29 |
| csky_max | Fezzler: You can search https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu for any references to your problem... personally I have had none. Good luck :) | 02:30 |

| LetsGo67 | !usa | 02:30 |
| ubottu | Sorry, I don't know anything about usa | 02:30 |

| FAJALOU | f190: if you can put a linux livecd in and test it, then it is. | 02:39 |

| csky_max | muppetexperience: The "old fashioned" way might be handy if you're having unusual trouble getting restricted manager to see the card... "nvidia-glx" is the package name for the binary driver..you could install it via any package manager if you like. | 02:51 |
| muppetexperience | csky_max: Yes, I have booted more than once since the physical installation of the card. | 02:51 |

| Taram | then it is unmountet then mounted again automatically | 02:52 |

| fez_ | as in can I get the terminal to pla a song | 02:55 |
| csky_max | muppetexperience: although nvidia-xconfig does back up your /etc/X11/xorg.conf, I would recommend taking a copy of it that you put somewhere safe, then run nvidia-xconfig and see if it produces a more useful configuration - you can easily roll back that way. I'm on a geforce 8800gt, nvidia-glx driver and no problems | 02:56 |

| JoshJ | so I'm on a computer that's fairly old; has an old video card and old monitor; it's running ubuntu 8.04 and was fine yesterday.. but today it won't get better than an 800x600 resolution | 03:11 |
| JoshJ | looking in /var/log/dpkg.log reveals that one of yesterday's updates was xserver-xorg-video-intel | 03:12 |
| lee986321 | erg you havn't heard of that anoying talking gorila lol | 03:12 |

| lee986321 | I was wondering when the bot would say something | 03:13 |

| drone_ | got a couple questions relating to grub if anyone could possible help me... | 03:14 |
| Gnea | drone_: ask away | 03:14 |
| alraune | JoshJ: might be, most problably xorg.conf altered.. | 03:14 |
| JoshJ | that's what i would assume... hrm | 03:14 |
| csky_max | JoshJ: If package scripts modify it, you should see the previous version there next to it | 03:15 |
| drone_ | so I have a triple boot set up with xp, hardy, and centos 5. everything for xp and ubuntu works fine but when I installed centos I didn't install grub because I thought I could just add the entry to the one already there | 03:15 |
| drone_ | unfortunately it doesn't seem to work that way | 03:15 |
| JoshJ | i see a "xorg.conf.20080805220736" | 03:15 |
| lee986321 | hmm how about it might I hasve a taker on getting som help? | 03:15 |
| drone_ | and now I'm lost as to how to get centos added to the grub | 03:15 |
| alraune | JoshJ: paste the files (names) from /etc/X11/ | 03:15 |
| drone_ | I mounted the drive its on and looked in the boot folder | 03:15 |
| csky_max | JoshJ: That looks likely, diff it against the current one | 03:15 |
| Penol | Can i use this guide https://help.ubuntu.com/community/AspireOne for Linux Mint? | 03:15 |
| muppetexperienc1 | csky_max: Same problem. Could we just get the xonfiguration script that comes with the installer and run it? | 03:16 |
| JoshJ | alraune, that and xorg.conf are the only two xorg.conf's | 03:16 |
| lee986321 | http://paste.ubuntu.com/34595/ | 03:16 |
| elijah | where is the feature set for INtrepid Ibex? I am having trouble finding it | 03:16 |
| drone_ | but was weirded out to not find any initrd or kernel file | 03:16 |
| drone_ | really strange | 03:16 |
| Penol | Can i use this guide https://help.ubuntu.com/community/AspireOne for Linux Mint? | 03:16 |
| alraune | JoshJ:or paste the files (content) | 03:16 |
| Pici | Penol: We do not support Mint here, you'll need to seek their support. | 03:16 |
| csky_max | drone_: I think you can just run update-grub on ubuntu and it should find the centos? | 03:16 |
| JoshJ | csky_max, no difference | 03:16 |
| Pici | !mintsupport | Penol | 03:16 |
| ubottu | Penol: Linux Mint is not a supported derivitve of Ubuntu, please seek support in #linuxmint on irc.spotchat.org | 03:16 |
| muppetexperienc1 | Would the gentoo nvidia guide be relevant? | 03:16 |
| avis | i dont get mp3 playback in ubuntu. i've installed w32codecs and gstreamer0.10-* this is a fresh install too. any ideas ? | 03:16 |
| drone_ | ok, I'll give that a try | 03:16 |
| csky_max | muppetexperienc1: I wish I knew the answer to that, I wanted it myself but ended up spending about an hour installing the base system and making coffee | 03:16 |
| drone_ | thanks csky_max | 03:16 |
| orangepeelbeef | I can't seem to get ogg vorbis audio to play out my digital output it shows ffmpeg has the codec but i don't hear anything | 03:17 |
| alraune | avis: amarok and mplayer ? | 03:17 |
| JoshJ | http://rafb.net/p/6avGFw88.html <-- this is the xorg.conf | 03:17 |
| DEdwards | drone_, reinstall grub perhaps | 03:17 |
| JOEY_w | ubuntu wouldnt install on my new laptop. could someone please message me so i can send them a link to see if its compatible. | 03:17 |
| JoshJ | and the old xorg.conf shows no difference | 03:17 |
| lee986321 | erg we really need a channel specific for the ps3 lol | 03:17 |
| avis | alraune, using totem or nautilus | 03:17 |
| huronking | Ok, my xorg.conf has nothing useful or specific. Is this just the way it is supposed to be in 8.04? | 03:17 |
| drone_ | so reinstall grub from what, a live cd? | 03:17 |
| alraune | avis:try amarok and mplayer | 03:17 |
| JoshJ | drone_, there's athing called the "super grub disc" look into it | 03:17 |
| drone_ | I have that | 03:17 |
| drone_ | but it didn't seem to help | 03:17 |
| alraune | JoshJ:k, and the other (numbered one ?) | 03:17 |
| csky_max | muppetexperience1: at that point you would be best off using the ubuntu install cd and choosing to install same partition, keep /home when prompted - better than following other distro procedures. | 03:18 |
| dayone | i am trying fresh reinstall my ubuntu, but this time i want to install no extra software. is there a method at start of intstallation? I don't want any office tools, any games, anything and everything don't want to install. just want pure UBUNTU and all nessesary files and headers, and network tools and sound files... is there a way?..... when i am done i will only select want i want to install...........?? | 03:18 |
| drone_ | I'm sure it would if I knew what I was doing | 03:18 |
| JoshJ | alraune, no difference | 03:18 |
| drone_ | haha | 03:18 |
| lee986321 | eh how about vlc player? | 03:18 |
| Pelo | anyone know the min req for hardy ? can it run on a 1.6 mhz ? | 03:18 |
| muppetexperienc1 | csky_max: Maybe I'll just do a fresh install, but I don't want to waste a load of bandwidth installing everything again. | 03:18 |
| alraune | JoshJ:k, brb | 03:18 |
| csky_max | drone_: /usr/sbin/update-grub | 03:18 |
| Pici | !requirements | Penol | 03:18 |
| JoshJ | i notice that doesn't have a massive collection of stuff like the xorg.conf's i've seen on my computer; but i'm used to dealing with ATI cards, not SGI | 03:18 |
| ubottu | Penol: Hardware requirements to install, boot and comfortably use Ubuntu are listed at https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Installation/SystemRequirements - For a !flavor with lower requirements, see !Xubuntu | 03:18 |
| muppetexperienc1 | OOOOH | 03:18 |
| Pici | Pelo: That was for you ^ | 03:18 |
| csky_max | drone_: while booted into ubuntu | 03:18 |
| alraune | avis:sudo apt-get install amarok and mplayer vlc | 03:18 |
| Penol | !flavor | 03:18 |
| ubottu | !GTK and !Qt are !GUI toolkits (i.e. software libraries that draw buttons, textboxes, etc). !GNOME, !KDE, !Xfce and friends are "!desktop environments", which build on top of such libraries to provide a "consistent" desktop experience. !Kubuntu and !Xubuntu are simply flavors of Ubuntu that come with KDE and Xfce (respectively) installed as default, instead of GNOME. Other specialized flavors of Ubuntu include !Edubuntu | 03:18 |
| Jordan_U | dayone: You can use the minimal / alternate install CD's to do that | 03:18 |
| axisys | anyone else having issue with installing ubuntu on vista using the selection of ubuntu cd 8.04 (aka wubi install) ? | 03:18 |
| avis | alraune, i already had amarok installed. its not playing in that either | 03:19 |
| Pelo | thanks Pici | 03:19 |
| axisys | i dont see a grub menu | 03:19 |
| Pici | Penol: Sorry, I meant that for Pelo. | 03:19 |
| Penol | !desktop environments | 03:19 |
| ubottu | Penol: Error: I am only a bot, please don't think I'm intelligent :) | 03:19 |
| csky_max | muppetexperienc1: Yes, I know, but one thing you can try for starters is boot off the live CD and see if its "autoconfig" even solves the problem.. Dinner time for me and best of luck to you | 03:19 |
| lee986321 | I am running Xubuntu :) | 03:19 |
| Jordan_U | dayone: Do you want a GUI at all? | 03:19 |
| Penol | !Xfce | 03:19 |
| ubottu | Xubuntu is Ubuntu with Xfce instead of !GNOME. More info at http://www.xubuntu.org and http://wiki.ubuntu.com/Xubuntu/ - To install from Ubuntu: « sudo apt-get install xubuntu-desktop » - Join #xubuntu for support - See also: !Ubuntu and !Xubuntu-Channels | 03:19 |
| === meo|away is now known as meoblast001 | ||
| dayone | Jordan_U, there is no option on this ubuntu 8.04 cd? | 03:19 |
| muppetexperienc1 | csky_max: Thanks. Could I just copy and paste these debs? Would that work? | 03:19 |
| muppetexperienc1 | So I don't use laods of bandwidth... | 03:20 |
| alraune | JoshJ:sudo apt-get install gksudo displayconfig-gtk | 03:20 |
| JoshJ | i mean 800x600 does *fit*, but the whole reason this computer is running Ubuntu at all is because Windows ME got stuck in 800x600 and I couldn't get it unstuck... so this could be a problem and I may have to try a different distro if this one's gonna be broken :( | 03:20 |
| Jordan_U | dayone: No | 03:20 |
| bib | is their a free *nix shell that allows ssh redirect? | 03:20 |
| alraune | JoshJ:done (terminal) ? | 03:20 |
| JoshJ | alraune, both of those are already in | 03:20 |
| JoshJ | displayconfig-gtk is already the newest version. | 03:20 |
| csky_max | muppetexperienc1: i.e., if the live boot shows restricted manager, so should a reinstallation... And yes you could copy out /var/cache/apt/archives/*.deb before wiping the system install | 03:20 |
| JoshJ | E: Package gksudo has no installation candidate | 03:20 |
| JoshJ | (but i can do gksudo so whatever) | 03:20 |
| dayone | Jordan_U, well then is there a method to run after fresh install to remove everything and just leave me ubuntu? | 03:21 |
| alraune | JoshJ:sudo apt-get install gksudo displayconfig-gtk | 03:21 |
| houmala | How do I change the "default" email client from evolution to thunderbird ??? | 03:21 |
| muppetexperienc1 | csky_max: Wonderful. | 03:21 |
| csky_max | then you could copy them back into /archives before running the updates, and it would skip downloading anything that was still newest | 03:21 |
| lee986321 | josh carefull, ops could band if you post code | 03:21 |
| muppetexperienc1 | Thanks, happy dinner. | 03:21 |

| paulvj | can you use ubuntu server with fedora? | 03:37 |
| nickrud | paulvj what do you mean, 'use with' ? | 03:37 |
| paulvj | I am useing fedora for desktop but might have to use ubuntu server instead of fedora server | 03:38 |

| inbitado34 | what i have to do to install envy ?? | 03:39 |
| nickrud | !envy | inbitado34 | 03:39 |
| ubottu | inbitado34: envyng is an updated version of the *UNSUPPORTED* envy package. It is now part of the ubuntu universe repository (envyng-gtk OR envyng-qt) we suggest you use envyng if every other (official/supported) method fails! it can have various results from works, to fails!!! if you want the very latest drivers from the manufacturer you use them at your own risk | 03:39 |
| inbitado34 | by command line ? or synaptic ? | 03:40 |
| Marvin_The_Robot | inbitado34, dont, unless you have no other choice, my opinion only | 03:40 |
| nickrud | inbitado34 either, and I ditto Marvin_The_Robot | 03:40 |

| xxploit | sudo apt-get install ia32-libs ia32-libs-gtk | 03:41 |
| nickrud | lee986321 ia32-libs are in the universe repo, and once you have them you'll have the -gtk as well (-gtk is a virtual package in hardy, ia32-libs provide them) | 03:41 |
| muppet_experienc | I solved my problem. | 03:41 |
| lee986321 | ahhh ok eh wait I don't have hardy lol | 03:41 |

| ubottu | mike: The people here are volunteers, your attitude should reflect that. Answers are not always available. See http://wiki.ubuntu.com/IrcGuidelines | 03:52 |
| nickrud | drone_ are you the guy with the uuid issue? | 03:52 |

| Mike1234 | bazhang: what chipset? | 03:52 |
| bazhang | Mike1234, the wifi chipset | 03:52 |
| cdj26 | bazhang: how do i find that | 03:52 |
| drone_ | I was only asking about the grub issue here because I'm primarily an ubuntu user and I'm using the grub that the ubuntu installer setup | 03:53 |
| nickrud | drone_ yeah, you got flooded out :) You need to edit /boot/grub/menu.lst and change the kernel line for centos to the right uuid. sudo blkid will show all disk partition uuid's | 03:53 |
| dexter | Hey | 03:53 |
| ebzero | however the same video plays just fine in mplayer | 03:53 |

| scrambledegg | anyone? :S | 03:53 |
| hellcat-- | nickrud, Hey it worked thanks | 03:53 |
| bobertdos | Mike1234: In the case of a Dell, I'd just recommend going to the website and downloading the latest driver for the wireless card so you can try it with ndisgtk (the graphical frontend for ndiswrapper). | 03:53 |
| ebzero | I've found out that if I switch to a video output that doesn't work and then switch back to one that does work it restarts the file and plays as normal | 03:53 |
| nickrud | hellcat-- you sound suprised ;(P | 03:54 |
| dexter | What do you guys use as a skype client? | 03:54 |
| hellcat-- | not so much just syaing thanks | 03:54 |
| cdj26 | bazhang: how do you determine the wifi chipset | 03:54 |
| ebzero | then when I go to open the file again the original issue reappears | 03:54 |

| nickrud | hellcat-- a joke :) | 03:54 |

| wols_ | Matt123: if they don't help, it's still no #ubuntu question. ask ##windows | 03:57 |
| LSD|Ninja | paolo: of course, zfs isn't really practical under Linux. You can thank RMS for that. | 03:57 |

| cdj26 | bazhang, one sec | 03:57 |
| paolo | LSD|Ninja: why? | 03:58 |

| Part` | have any of you experiences with belinea's nootebooks? | 03:58 |

| Tazbobu | I have been trying for a couple months since I installed hardy to get my NVIDIA driver to work... I have tried envy, the restricted hardware drivers, nothing seems to work. It says the restricted drivers are running currently, but it will not allow me to choose any resolution other than 640x400 or 800x600.. and it won't let me run nvidia-settings | 04:14 |
| nickrud | lee986321 enable universe | 04:14 |
| crashsystems | hmm, no takers I guess. | 04:14 |
| nickrud | lee986321 but those things I gave you were hardy, if you're on something else ... | 04:14 |
| sravan | i am unable to mount my external derive.. | 04:14 |
| nickrud | Maxwell23498 ok, what partition is your data on? | 04:14 |
| mylogic | does anyone know of any good resources for installing apache2 with ASP support? mod_mono is not liking me right now... | 04:14 |
| FAJALOU | Tazbobu: System>Administration>Hardware Drivers: Enable | 04:14 |
| Maxwell23498 | It's on a whole drive. | 04:14 |
| Maxwell23498 | nickrud: it's on a whole drive | 04:14 |
| lee986321 | ooooohhhh hewwww ergles lol | 04:14 |
| Maxwell23498 | nickrud: sda IIRC | 04:15 |
| cdj26 | http://paste.ubuntu.com/34610/ | 04:15 |
| lee986321 | hmm Ill see if hardy will load and run on the ps3 lol | 04:15 |
| nickrud | Maxwell23498 but it's going to be a partition, probably sda1 then. do sudo fdisk -l , and see if sda only has sda1 associated with it | 04:15 |
| Tazbobu | FAJALOU: You obviously didn't read my WHOLE message... it says IN USE | 04:15 |
| lee986321 | but, I tired 4x lol | 04:15 |
| squarebracket | Tazbobu: you could try installing the drivers from nvidia's website | 04:15 |
| FAJALOU | Tazbobu: but is it enabled? | 04:15 |
| FAJALOU | is the box ticked | 04:15 |
| Tazbobu | Yes | 04:15 |
| Maxwell23498 | Mmmk | 04:15 |
| nickrud | lee986321 you can identify the libs by searching on packages.ubuntu.com | 04:15 |
| Tazbobu | square: tried that | 04:16 |
| lee986321 | ah ok | 04:16 |
| FAJALOU | Tazbobu: sudo apt-get install nvidia-glx-new | 04:16 |
| sravan | i am unable to mount my external device | 04:16 |

| bazhang | cdj26, sudo iwconfig wlan0 essid "litchfeildrouter" | 04:17 |
| Maxwell23498 | nickrud I think so. | 04:17 |
| squarebracket | Tazbobu: putting just the resolution you want under modes | 04:17 |
| sravan | nickrud, it's ntfs drive | 04:17 |
| FAJALOU | Tazbobu: sudo nvidia-xconfig | 04:17 |
| nickrud | Maxwell23498 put the output of sudo fdisk -l on paste.ubuntu.com | 04:17 |
| muesli | i just installed ubuntu on a usb stick and encrypted the root filesystem. now booting up i noticed that it first tries to mount the encrypted root, before it actually detects sdb as a filesystem | 04:18 |
| ebzero | can some one help me with smplayer? I'm having an issue where, whenever I open a video file it plays the audio but the video freezes and the controls get greyed out but still work | 04:18 |
| ebzero | however the same video plays just fine in mplayer | 04:18 |
| ebzero | can some one help me with smplayer? I'm having an issue where, whenever I open a video file it plays the audio but the video freezes and the controls get greyed out but still work | 04:18 |
| nickrud | sravan most likely you had a bad unmount; try mounting it in windows | 04:18 |
| muesli | can i somehow force the kernel to first check for all avail filesystems / partitions and then try to decrypt the root? | 04:18 |
| ebzero | can some one help me with smplayer? I'm having an issue where, whenever I open a video file it plays the audio but the video freezes and the controls get greyed out but still work | 04:18 |
| ebzero | ... | 04:18 |
| Maxwell23498 | nickrud done | 04:18 |
| ebzero | whoops | 04:18 |
| ebzero | then when I go to open the file again the original issue reappears | 04:18 |
| nickrud | Maxwell23498 now, give me the link so I can see it :) | 04:18 |
| cdj26 | bazhang: then what | 04:19 |
| Maxwell23498 | nickrud http://paste.ubuntu.com/34611/ | 04:19 |
| MrVirus | ok.. for some reason i've goine totaly blank..ubuntu is a debian base correct | 04:19 |
| squarebracket | Tazbobu: under screen section, under display subsection, put just the mode you want, ex "1280x1024@60" | 04:19 |
| sravan | nickrud , i am not using windows... i got Ubuntu only | 04:19 |
| bazhang | cdj26, iwconfig wlan0 | 04:20 |
| utnubudnai | hey all,I have difficult to connect a remote mysql database!here is the wrong message! | 04:20 |
| Tazbobu | square: it lists all the modes there but only the 2 are available | 04:20 |
| utnubudnai | Can't connect to local MySQL server through socket '/var/run/mysqld/mysqld.sock' (2). | 04:20 |
| nickrud | Maxwell23498 ok, it looks like you have two linux data partitions. to see them both, do sudo mkdir /media/sda1 && sudo mkdir /media/sdb1 && sudo mount /dev/sda1 /media/sda1 && sudo mount /dev/sdb1 /media/sdb1 . You can see the data in /media/sda1 and sdb1 | 04:20 |
| cdj26 | bazhang: http://paste.ubuntu.com/34612/ | 04:21 |
| squarebracket | Tazbobu: so get rid of all of the ones you don't want, save, and restart X... it's worked for me, at least. | 04:21 |
| nickrud | sravan ok, you can try sudo mount -t ntfs -o force /dev/<externalpartition> /mnt , that should force the mount. | 04:21 |
| Tazbobu | square: ok i'll try.. thanks | 04:21 |
| bazhang | sudo iwconfig <interface> mode Managed cdj26 | 04:21 |
| alanpan | does anyone know where should i put the theme file | 04:22 |
| squarebracket | Tazbobu: no problem. | 04:22 |
| bazhang | cdj26, sudo iwconfig wlan0 mode Managed | 04:22 |
| cdj26 | bazhang: no return | 04:22 |
| bazhang | alanpan, system prefs appearances themes tabs drag there | 04:23 |
| LTSP | muesli: what recipe did you use to get ubuntu to boot off the USB (do you have a link)? I've got a usb stick I've tried installing (as if hard drive) but no luck, | 04:23 |
| nickrud | alanpan normally you can go to system->prefs->appearances, and drag the theme onto the window. You will probably need to hit the customize button to see the theme (not many metathemese out ther) | 04:23 |
| bazhang | cdj26, now the iwconfig wlan0 again | 04:23 |
| Maxwell23498 | nickrud when I'm trying to view the contents of the HD, should it be really fucking slow at loading? | 04:23 |
| muesli | LTSP: just used the normal alternative installer | 04:23 |

| concretesledge | i changed my resolution | 04:25 |
| sravan | nickrud, it say's no such directory or files | 04:25 |
| LTSP | muesli: normal gui liveCD with the "install" off the initial text screen or the actual "alternate" install CD (text based). | 04:25 |
| Flannel | DogBoy: It doesn't, but it's a part of it. | 04:25 |
| nickrud | DogBoy many parents of the kids that hang out here appreciate clean language | 04:25 |

| earthling | when i change the time settings on my box the windows time settings get busted and when i change it in windows the linux time settings get effected.. an suggestions pleas :( | 04:26 |
| muesli | LTSP: that part really worked fine | 04:26 |

| buu | Hey, I'm using fairly standard ubuntu/gnome, is there any program I can use that will let me pop an alert, a semi-modal dialog box that appears on top of the windows and contains some sort of message? | 04:30 |
| obx | sounds like a job for lib-notify | 04:30 |
| nickrud | earthling what's happening is windows expects the hardware clock to be set to your time zone, whereas linux usually assumes it's set to Universal time | 04:30 |
| bazhang | buu, in what situations | 04:30 |
| cdj26 | bazhang: if it is mac filtering would that be the only problem, that i need to add my mac address to the router | 04:31 |
| russ | How do i control what application starts when I plug in my ipod? | 04:31 |
| DogBoy | MrWizeGuy1983, did you look at the setting in nautilus | 04:31 |
| DogBoy | same for you russ | 04:31 |
| bazhang | cdj26, that or the hidden essid bug | 04:31 |
| MrWizeGuy1983 | setting for what DogBoy ? | 04:31 |
| nickrud | buu zenity can be used from a bash script | 04:31 |

| MrWizeGuy1983 | DogBoy, i don't know what rockbox is, i have the sansa fuze 4gb | 04:36 |
| juano__ | ishkur_: if people here are lame then why do you ask for help? | 04:36 |
| Gnea | nickrud: just don't turn into the crazy german kid | 04:36 |
| ishkur_ | not here, #ubuntu-server | 04:36 |
| bazhang | https://help.ubuntu.com/community/WifiDocs/Driver/bcm43xx/Feisty_No-Fluff cdj26 it is broadcom not intel | 04:36 |
| DogBoy | I don't know what a sansa fuse is | 04:36 |
| ishkur_ | 104 people, not one answer | 04:36 |
| mylogic | I just setup mysql on my ubuntu server and why is there a user called debian-sys-maint with such powerful permissions created by default? | 04:36 |
| cemicolin | dogboy: use google | 04:36 |
| juano__ | ishkur_: google is your friend | 04:36 |
| DogBoy | I don't care what a sansa fuse is | 04:36 |
| cdj26 | bazhang: sorry i just copied that from yahoo answers | 04:37 |
| MrWizeGuy1983 | DogBoy, the sansa fuze is a mp3 and video player, it's relatively new, just got it | 04:37 |
| ishkur_ | yes, it is, a am aware of this! | 04:37 |
| DogBoy | I heard about google though cemicolin, but thanks | 04:37 |
| bazhang | cdj26, no worries, that link can get you going in 5 minutes or so | 04:37 |
| juano__ | ishkur_: :) | 04:37 |
| ishkur_ | thanks for reminding me of the painfully obvious! | 04:37 |
| ishkur_ | BUT! | 04:37 |
| ishkur_ | i am having an issue | 04:37 |
| juano__ | ishkur_: which is? | 04:37 |
| cdj26 | bazhang: thanks a lot, sorry for all the trouble | 04:37 |
| Gnea | ishkur_: and that would be? | 04:37 |
| ishkur_ | im getting a boot error, and i need the correct kernel module | 04:37 |
| DogBoy | oh that's different, I think | 04:37 |
| Gnea | ishkur_: can you pastebin it? | 04:38 |
| bazhang | ishkur_, coming in here and calling people lamers is not the right way to get help. | 04:38 |
| DogBoy | you got a new sansa and it's not seeing it unless on boot | 04:38 |
| Gnea | bazhang: i think we're past that stage now. | 04:38 |
| MrWizeGuy1983 | i have it set to msc on the usb mode DogBoy and it loads that way if it's plugged in when i start ubuntu, otherwise it won't detect it at all | 04:38 |
| ishkur_ | #ubuntu is fine, #ubuntu-server is my issue | 04:38 |
| Gnea | or not. | 04:38 |
| ishkur_ | this kernel requires the following features not present on the cpu: 0:6 unable to boot - please use a kernel appropriate for your cpu | 04:38 |
| ishkur_ | i need the correct 2.6.24-* module | 04:38 |
| nickrud | ishkur_ what cpu do you have? | 04:39 |
| ishkur_ | Intel celeron m | 04:39 |
| MrWizeGuy1983 | ishkur_, are you trying to run a 64 bit linux on a 32 bit chipset? | 04:39 |
| DogBoy | you might ask in #rockbox-community MrWizeGuy1983 | 04:39 |
| MrWizeGuy1983 | celeron m is 32 bit | 04:39 |
| MrWizeGuy1983 | thanks DogBoy | 04:39 |
| ishkur_ | runs fine as a non-vm | 04:39 |
| juano__ | ishkur_: see MrWizeGuy1983 comment ^^ | 04:40 |
| Gnea | ishkur_: and what kernel are you booting, exactly? 2.6.24-what? | 04:40 |
| ishkur_ | problem is that i have the wrong kernel module for VirtualBox | 04:40 |
| buu | nickrud: Thanks. | 04:40 |
| MrVirus | would i need to mount a cdrom to read the packages from it? | 04:40 |
| Gnea | ishkur_: out of curiosity, have you asked in #vbox or on the virtualbox forums? | 04:40 |
| cemicolin | what directories do i have to move to save my user on a new install of ubuntu? | 04:41 |
| Gnea | MrVirus: yes. | 04:41 |
| juano__ | MrVirus_: yes, at least mount it read-only | 04:41 |
| ishkur_ | ok! here is exactly what is going down on my computer, yo. im installing Ubuntu SE as a guest OS in VirtualBox, i installed the wrong modules for the guest kernel, and now its pitching a fit. | 04:41 |
| ishkur_ | so! | 04:41 |
| nickrud | MrVirus yes, but if you plan on using an alternate cd as a repository, you should use sudo apt-cdrom add | 04:41 |
| Gnea | juano__: cdroms can be mounted read-write? | 04:41 |
| MrVirus | i'm tryin to find a package i was told might be on teh install media.. | 04:41 |
| juano__ | Gnea: ;) lol, how one gets distracted these days | 04:41 |
| ogre | is there an official wubi channel? I'm trying to install it on my work machine but wherever is hosting the setup files is down | 04:41 |
| nickrud | MrVirus what package? | 04:42 |
| MrVirus | gyachi | 04:42 |
| ishkur_ | Meh, fuck this. imma install BSD./quit | 04:42 |
| Gnea | juano__: the absurd randomness is never boring :) | 04:42 |
| juano__ | Gnea: :) :) | 04:42 |
| nickrud | MrVirus it's not on any ubuntu media | 04:42 |
| MrVirus | Nick : i've got the tarball but i'm not sure what i'm doing to get it installed | 04:43 |
| Gnea | wow, definately an attitude problem. | 04:43 |
| juano__ | LOL BSD? good luck... cant even install ubuntu SE, don't think hge gonna get far with BSD... | 04:43 |
| nickrud | MrVirus ah, you plan on compiling it? | 04:43 |
| MrVirus | Nick : if i knew how to .. i would | 04:43 |
| nickrud | !compiling | MrVirus (and read the README and INSTALL files in the tar ball) | 04:43 |
| ubottu | MrVirus (and read the README and INSTALL files in the tar ball): Compiling software from source? Read the tips at https://help.ubuntu.com/community/CompilingSoftware (But remember to search for pre-built !packages first) | 04:43 |
| russ | !search gtkpod | 04:43 |
| ubottu | Found: | 04:43 |
| Gnea | never know, he might already be better acquainted with BSD.. most BSD users don't usually take too well to linux very well | 04:43 |
| Tazbobu1 | Ok, tried setting only the resolution I wanted in xorg.conf and restarted xserver.. still doesn't work.. still won't let me run nvidia xserver settings | 04:44 |
| MrVirus | i like gyachi.. but i cant seem to find a deb package installer. | 04:44 |
| russ | !search audio | 04:44 |
| ubottu | Found: sound, rockbox, picard, pulseaudio, ripping-#kubuntu, amarok, itunes, players, sound-#kubuntu, pulse | 04:44 |
| juano__ | Gnea: hehe | 04:44 |
| cemicolin | simple question: what directories hold my settings and apps so i can move them to my new install | 04:44 |
| punkrockguy318 | how do i get the log in irc? | 04:44 |
| bazhang | !clone | cemicolin | 04:45 |
| ubottu | cemicolin: 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 | 04:45 |
| bazhang | cemicolin, also consider aptoncd | 04:45 |
| Gnea | cemicolin: typically, i'll put /home on its own mountpoint so that i can just refrain from formatting it on a reinstallation | 04:45 |
| russ | !itunes | 04:45 |
| ubottu | itunes is not available on Linux, but there are many audio player alternatives (see !players). For Daap clients (sharing music with other iTunes clients on the network), install banshee | 04:45 |
| nickrud | punkrockguy318 for xchat, you would enable it at settings->prefs->logging, and find the logs in ~/.xchat2/xchatlogs | 04:45 |
| punkrockguy318 | nickrud: i mean can you get like the last 25 messages in a channel from an irc command? | 04:46 |
| nickrud | yeah, clone with a separate partition (and a few select /etc files) makes for painless reinstalls | 04:46 |
| nickrud | punkrockguy318 you can do /lastlog <nick> | 04:46 |
| Tazbobu1 | And when I go to screen resolution it never recognizes my monitor | 04:46 |
| nickrud | punkrockguy318 other than that, I'm clueless ;) | 04:46 |
| cemicolin | if i told you that i was switching from an ubuntu partition to wubi would that change things? | 04:46 |
| Snaffle | im running ubuntu atm | 04:46 |
| === ddddd3 is now known as joejoecircusboy | ||

| Tazbobu1 | squarebracket: any other ideas? | 04:47 |
| nibsa1242b | what is a simple program to use to transcode 2min from a (home made) DVD recording to a file easier to watch and send to friends? | 04:47 |
| Switchcat | Greetings | 04:47 |
| Gnea | i've never used wubi, so I can only guess that it could read a real ext3 partition | 04:47 |
| Tazbobu1 | getting tired of living at 800x600 on a 24" monitor.... | 04:48 |
| Gnea | nibsa1242b: avidemux | 04:48 |
| nickrud | Tazbobu1 what video card do you use? | 04:48 |
| nibsa1242b | Gnea: thanks, trying that now | 04:48 |
| Tazbobu1 | nvidia 8400gs.. worked great until I got hardy | 04:48 |
| Switchcat | Q: Whats an easy way to install previous versions of a program? (Preferrably other than a CLI command) I am trying to figure out where something broke (the current xconq crashes, and I assume because it's a game it wasn't thoroughly tested) I'd like to step through it's previous versions/installs till I find the one that works | 04:48 |
| ome | I made a folder in root using sudo mkdir /folder ... How to I change permissions for this folder so it can be accessed by a website? | 04:49 |
| === root is now known as Guest95801 | ||
| nickrud | Tazbobu1 sudo apt-get install nvidia-glx-new , and system->admin->hardware manager , choosing nvidia should do the job. Supposed to, anyway | 04:49 |
| Guest95801 | heya | 04:49 |
| Guest95801 | Hows everyone doin tonight? | 04:49 |
| nickrud | Tazbobu1 if you do that, and you still have low rez, put a copy of /var/log/Xorg.0.log on paste.ubuntu.com and point me at it | 04:50 |
| elijah | does flash suck on ubuntu for everyone else or is it just me? | 04:50 |
| Guest95801 | It sucks foreveryone | 04:50 |
| crimsun | elijah: it sucks period. | 04:50 |
| * nickrud uses flashblock | 04:50 | |
| Guest95801 | [(status)] | 04:50 |
| Guest95801 | [(status)] | 04:50 |
| Guest95801 | er.. | 04:50 |
| Guest95801 | [(status)] | 04:50 |
| Khisanth | it's mostly fine for me | 04:50 |
| nickrud | Guest95801 ??? | 04:50 |
| Guest95801 | sorry mate | 04:50 |
| bobertdos | elijah: Hehe, yes it frequently sucks, but 10 has actually worked wonders for me. | 04:50 |
| Gnea | !ot | Guest95801 | 04:50 |
| ubottu | Guest95801: #ubuntu is the Ubuntu support channel, #ubuntu+1 supports the development version of Ubuntu and #ubuntu-offtopic is for random chatter. Welcome! | 04:50 |
| rockenrola | Switchcat: synaptic can install previous versions of any package | 04:51 |
| bobertdos | elijah: It really varies from system to system. | 04:51 |
| nickrud | having more than 5 or 10 tabs open, with random flash stuff really sucks | 04:51 |
| elijah | bobertdos, i am using 10 alpha 2 | 04:51 |
| Khisanth | nickrud: but that is why you have flashblock :) | 04:51 |
| Switchcat | rockenrola - and so HOW do I do it? | 04:51 |
| nickrud | Khisanth yep | 04:51 |
| bobertdos | elijah: and in what ways is it sucking? | 04:51 |
| elijah | ok, well that confirms it then, still have work to do in that arena | 04:51 |
| elijah | stuttering and sound sync issues | 04:52 |
| Khisanth | but for that it sucks the same everywhere | 04:52 |
| elijah | my cpu is maxed out as well | 04:52 |
| Tazbobu1 | nickrud: yup already did all that.. trying to paste but the site isn't loading | 04:52 |
| bobertdos | elijah: :p typical of flash, I'll admit | 04:52 |
| elijah | but my xorg uses 20-50% when idle | 04:52 |
| elijah | another bug | 04:52 |
| nickrud | Tazbobu1 any pastebin will work, pastebin.ca forexampel | 04:52 |
| Khisanth | poorly created flash sucks everywhere :) | 04:52 |
| elijah | it will be soo nice when that aspect is nailed! | 04:52 |
| Khisanth | poorly created programs sucks everywhere :) | 04:52 |
| rockenrola | Switchcat: open synaptic, choose the package, and under Package->Force version (ctrl +E) | 04:53 |
| nickrud | Khisanth which is why nearly all programs suck in some way | 04:53 |
| elijah | have you guys seen aurora concept video from mozilla? this is the video i am having major lag from | 04:53 |
| elijah | this is pretty slick technology http://adaptivepath.com/aurora/ | 04:53 |
| Tazbobu1 | nickrud: http://pastebin.ca/1093475 | 04:54 |
| bobertdos | Still, I try to show the adobe programmers some leniency. You have to remember, they're under no corporate obligation to give us current flash. I was monitoring their blogs when they were first attempting flash 9, and it was a tough road. | 04:54 |
| Switchcat | rockenrola - force version is currently greyed out... do I have to uninstall first? | 04:54 |
| nibsa1242b | Gnea: avidemux seems complicated... recommends to use mplay to do a dvd dump first, but the command doesn't work | 04:55 |
| nickrud | Tazbobu1 ok, the problem is you are using the failsafe xorg.conf, see line 23. | 04:55 |
| nickrud | Tazbobu1 now to try to find the underlying problem... | 04:56 |
| rockenrola | Switchcat: that sould be because there are no other versions in hardy | 04:56 |
| Gnea | nibsa1242b: it's pretty simple: file->open select file, let it do its indexing thing. don't forget to follow a tutorial. | 04:56 |
| Gnea | nibsa1242b: it's not a drag 'n drop like windows movie maker is, but it can do a LOT | 04:57 |
| nibsa1242b | Gnea: I am following a tutorial, but it had me doing all kinds of other things instead of file->open | 04:57 |
| Tazbobu1 | nickrud: ok... | 04:57 |
| Gnea | nibsa1242b: you need to find a tutorial that matches closest to what you want to do | 04:57 |
| nibsa1242b | Gnea: I don't need it to do anything complicated. DVD has already been edited down on the DVD recorder to only 2min. I just want to take that clip and transcode it into something I can e-mail to friends. | 04:58 |
| msshams | i write this line to my crontab. but i dont know why it don't execute?! | 04:58 |
| msshams | 10 * * * * /etc/init.d/courier-authdaemon restart; /etc/init.d/courier-imap restart; echo "restarted" >> /root/qmail.log | 04:58 |
| elijah | bobertdos, yeah i agree, it will be nice when it is nailed but I am not complaining | 04:59 |
| Gnea | nibsa1242b: just change the video/audio to something that would go good in an AVI container, calculate and save it | 04:59 |
| rockenrola | msshams: try to break it into several lines | 04:59 |
| elijah | will be nice when Xorg is fixed too | 04:59 |
| nickrud | Tazbobu1 I'm not an nvidia expert, so I'm looking for some decent info | 05:00 |
| owen1 | (xfce question) i can't see borders around windows (where the minimize button is). when i click on the 'window manager' setting i get this message: "these setting can't work with your current window manager (unknown)" any idea? | 05:00 |
| bobertdos | It's like the bot says. Almost everyone who makes a contribution to the Linux community is a volunteer and we have to respect that. | 05:01 |
| Tazbobu1 | nickrud: thanks | 05:01 |
| nibsa1242b | Gnea: yeah... now I'm running into a problem. the dvd recorder didn't actually delete anything so there is 6 hours of footage on the DVD, and I have to search for the 2min I need. | 05:01 |
| nibsa1242b | Gnea: I wish I could just use VLC to transcode, as it recognizes the edits the recorder made, and only shows the 2min clip. | 05:01 |
| nickrud | Tazbobu1 lets try one thing: sudo dpkg-reconfigure -pcritical xserver-xorg , and then restart your desktop (ctl-alt-backspace, save any open programs first) | 05:02 |
| Gnea | nibsa1242b: that's about the time that i concatonate all of the .vob files into one, open the .vob file in avidemux, and just drag the bar till i find it ;) | 05:02 |
| teamcobra | is it possible to do multiple sessions w/ diff users using sshvnc? | 05:03 |
| Tazbobu1 | nickrud: k brb | 05:03 |
| Gnea | nibsa1242b: cat file_003.vob >> file_002.vob && cat file_002.vob >> file_001.vob, open file_001.vob | 05:03 |
| nibsa1242b | Gnea: thanks | 05:03 |
| Gnea | nibsa1242b: it's time consuming, but it works *shrug* | 05:03 |

| Xpistos | Yeah Freedom | 05:06 |
| redhat_ | ohai angusb | 05:06 |
| Gnea | Xpistos: have you tried ~/vmware or /var/lib/vmware/ ? | 05:06 |
| Jordan_U | Gnea: Couldn't you just cat file_00{2,3} >> file_001 ? | 05:06 |
| Xpistos | Gnea: let me check | 05:06 |
| Gnea | Jordan_U: dunno, never did it that way | 05:07 |
| Tazbobu | nickrud: no go... still the same deal | 05:07 |
| nickrud | Tazbobu ok, after some research it looks like your card is not supported by the ubuntu drivers. Is this an 8600gs? | 05:08 |
| red | So my laptop keyboard doesn't work under X, but it works in console. And I checked Xorg.0.log (with and without -longverbose 7) and neither of them so much as mention my keyboard. Any thoughts? | 05:08 |
| Tazbobu | nickrud: 8400gs.. and it worked fine with feisty and gutsy... only stopped working when I installed hardy | 05:08 |

| Xpistos | Gnea: No such luck. what are the odds that uninstalling it wipped out the virtual machines as well | 05:09 |
| rockenrola | jimmmym: any reason for the 2 hours? | 05:09 |
| Tazbobu | nickrud: tried envyng, tried sudo apt-get install nvidia-glx-new.. tried the nvidia driver that is preinstalled.. | 05:09 |
| Gnea | Xpistos: difficult to tell... tried locate .vmx ? | 05:10 |
| Xpistos | Gnea: I tried using the Disk usage analizer gui but that doesn't make any sense, telling me I have 90gb left on a 250 gb drive when my drive is only 160 total | 05:10 |
| Jordan_U | Is there a CLI for network-manager? | 05:10 |
| Gnea | Xpistos: lol | 05:10 |

| ubottu | I'll remember that, nickrud | 05:15 |
| jimmmym | rockenrola: excellent thanks | 05:15 |

| paolo | I need to do some testing... is it possible to share an installation of ubunu within 2 different computers (same arch) assuming that /etc and /home are mounted elsewhere? | 05:16 |
| nickrud | !forget lamp | geev8 (you should use this rather than xammp, security then | 05:16 |

| ubottu | geev8: LAMP is an acronym for Linux-Apache-MySQL-PHP. However, the term is often used for setups using alternative but different software, such as Perl or Python instead of PHP, and Postgres instead of MySQL. For help with setting up LAMP on Ubuntu, see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/ApacheMySQLPHP - See also the Server CD installation process (different in Edgy+) | 05:16 |
| Gnea | paolo: sort of - what did you have in mind? | 05:16 |
| Agent_bob | anyone know some about xfce4 ? when i launch it, it comes up with the default background and panels but then the panels vanish, and right click does nothing. i can alt+f2 run xfce4-panel and get them back. but nothing seems to be sticky. any thoughts on why ? | 05:16 |
| nickrud | Agent_bob #xubuntu usually has some experts around for xfce | 05:17 |
| geev8 | ok thank you guy cos i a beginner with linux in general | 05:17 |
| paolo | Gnea: well install ubuntu or an external drive and share on few different machines | 05:17 |
| superkuh | I have a "SiS 640/73- PCI/AGP VGA Display adapter" (integrated into the mobo) I am trying to get to display resolutions higher than 640x480 (it has done this fine in the past). I am using the 'vesa' driver in my xorg.conf, should I put something else? | 05:18 |
| tazbo | square: yes nvidia in xorg.conf | 05:18 |
| bullgard4 | Some person is annoying me by sending a blinking private message. What channel should I use to inform Freenode officials? | 05:18 |
| Hobbsee | bullgard4: #ubuntu-ops or #freenode | 05:18 |
| Gnea | paolo: to boot separately or running together at the same time? | 05:18 |
| unop | bullgard4, #freenode | 05:18 |
| bullgard4 | Hobbsee: Thank you for your information. | 05:19 |
| nickrud | bullgard4 #ubuntu-ops if they're in channel | 05:19 |
| Xpistos | Gnea: I found two .vmx files, but they are on my windows partition, so I guess i got it | 05:19 |
| Gnea | Xpistos: awesome | 05:19 |
| Gnea | bullgard4: are they in the channel? | 05:19 |
| Agent_bob | nickrud a simple /whois would have told you i was already there | 05:20 |
| greencookie | hello | 05:21 |
| nickrud | Agent_bob too much work, and 90% of the time people never heard of the channel. But I've seen your nick here before, should have realized you were clued in | 05:21 |
| greencookie | just installed hardy heron. everything works cept for my wireless internet. it connects to my wlan but i cant open any page. | 05:21 |
| Gnea | !wireless | greencookie | 05:22 |
| ubottu | greencookie: Wireless documentation can be found at https://help.ubuntu.com/community/WifiDocs | 05:22 |
| Agent_bob | nickrud heh, k and the only answer i have gotten from #xubuntu so far was a "reboot will fix anything" nub answer. | 05:22 |
| Gnea | greencookie: check that out and if you can't make heads or tails of it, come on back | 05:22 |

| greencookie | i will | 05:23 |
| mrtech | hey every1,im wondering how would i install software i download,and its make for linuxit just extracts it but nothing after that,for example google earth | 05:23 |
| MrVirus | is there any form of a package or lib that help ubuntu support xml doc's | 05:23 |
| paolo | Gnea: boot separately | 05:23 |
| paolo | Gnea: but my guess would be that it could be possible to mout them ro ,right? | 05:23 |
| Gnea | paolo: sharing /home should be fine, but i would keep /etc separate | 05:24 |
| Gnea | paolo: nah, /home should be rw | 05:24 |
| paolo | Gnea: yes, I was saying /etc and /home separately ... all the rest of / together | 05:24 |
| paolo | Gnea: yes, /home is rw | 05:24 |
| Agent_bob | why have no ircops canned dood@c-67-165-62-95.hsd1.oh.comcast.net yet ? | 05:24 |
| Gnea | paolo: you could run into trouble with /etc that way, but yes, it could be done... | 05:24 |
| Gnea | Agent_bob: because you haven't reported him to #freenode | 05:25 |
| paolo | Gnea: why trouble? | 05:25 |
| Agent_bob | Gnea you not getting any pm spam from it ? | 05:25 |
| Gnea | Agent_bob: i don't get pm's from unregistered users | 05:25 |
| bullgard4 | Gnea: Yes, one Ubuntu activist at least is active in the channel #ubuntu-ops. | 05:25 |
| greencookie | Um.. i try dhclient -r wlan0 and it tells me wmaster0: unknown hardware address type 801 . | 05:25 |
| nickrud | Agent_bob there's a lot of spamming going on, but they aren't camped in #ubuntu. #freenode tracks those guys | 05:26 |
| Gnea | bullgard4: *nod* | 05:26 |
| Agent_bob | nickrud yeah i said ircops not chanops but joining this channel started his spam campaign on my client | 05:27 |
| tazbo | nickrud: oh I also tried to install the latest driver from nvidia's site but it won't let me because it said something about the compiler version used to compile my kernel (gcc 4.1) not matching.. and it said to change the environment variable to match | 05:28 |
| greencookie | could someone help me figure out how to get my connection working? its connected to my LAN but dhclient -r gives me "no working leases in persistent database -sleeping" | 05:29 |
| Gnea | greencookie: make sure the clip isn't hanging out | 05:29 |
| greencookie | huh>? | 05:30 |
| greencookie | lemme check my cables | 05:30 |
| greencookie | it works fine on windows xp | 05:30 |
| kaiwen | hi, I'm trying to do an internet share connection, I'm using a crossover cable to do this, problem is, I cannot get the two machines to ping each other. | 05:30 |
| therealnanotube | kaiwen: did you set the ips to be on the same subnet? | 05:31 |
| kaiwen | both systems are running ubuntu | 05:31 |
| kaiwen | yes. | 05:31 |
| rockenrola | greencookie: try and use static ip | 05:31 |
| therealnanotube | kaiwen: are you sure the crossover cable is good? :) | 05:31 |
| kaiwen | it's new | 05:31 |
| Agent_bob | kaiwen same subnet ? | 05:31 |
| kaiwen | wow look at all this spam | 05:31 |
| greencookie | rockenrola: how would I do that? | 05:31 |
| kaiwen | yes, 255.255.255.0 | 05:31 |
| therealnanotube | kaiwen: are you sure it is a crossover cable and not just a regular one? | 05:31 |
| kaiwen | Yes I"m sure. | 05:31 |
| Gnea | kaiwen: it's only spam if it's offtopic and unhelpful :) | 05:31 |
| kaiwen | no i got this. | 05:32 |
| therealnanotube | kaiwen: that's the subnet /mask/. what are the IPs that you set for the two? | 05:32 |
| Gnea | greencookie: have you made any changes to the network config files? | 05:32 |

| Gnea | Agent_bob: very interesting. | 05:33 |
| Starnestommy | Moth: he's not in here so he can't be kicked, but he will likely be banned | 05:33 |
| greencookie | yep. I had archlinux on it earlier. but same problem..it would connect to my network and iwconfig would show its got a signal but can't ping anything! | 05:33 |

| nico35- | hola | 05:34 |
| Gnea | kaiwen, Moth: /join #freenode and tell them about it. | 05:34 |
| therealnanotube | kaiwen: that seems ok... can you see if the little lights on the NICs light up when you plug in the cable (just to make sure the connection is actually made?) | 05:34 |

| wisekingle | sorry, because it's the first time i chat with IRC | 05:38 |
| greencookie | thnx rockenrola: but id rather try getting dhcp to work 1st cuz its a public wireless network | 05:38 |
| rockenrola | Agent_bob: you said you don't receive pm from unregistered users. how? | 05:38 |
| kaiwen | hmm... portscan shwos nothing on pc2 | 05:38 |
| Starnestommy | rockenrola: usermode +E | 05:39 |
| Agent_bob | rockenrola no. i didn't say that. | 05:39 |
| greencookie | the wierd thing about my connection is for the first 5-10 seconds i can ping anything. then it just drops out. | 05:39 |
| wisekingle | !list | 05:39 |

| kaiwen | Agent_bob yes | 05:42 |
| kaiwen | if you're talking about both ip addresses, yes they are | 05:42 |
| Agent_bob | kaiwen ok cause you can't ping 192.168.0.* from 192.168.5.* | 05:42 |
| JoEpaY | :) | 05:43 |
| kaiwen | it's werid, route -n doesn't show the configurations I used for both computers | 05:43 |

| kaiwen | ok so here is what I have so far, ethernet ports all have their green lights, laptop has IP 192.168.5.1, pc2 connect to laptop through crossover cable, has IP 192.168.5.2, the subnetmask is 255.255.255.0 for both the broadcast is 192.168.5.255 | 05:47 |
| Moth | fail | 05:47 |
| kaiwen | for both. Both don't ping each other. | 05:47 |
| therealnanotube | kaiwen: firewall check? | 05:48 |
| kaiwen | how can I check the firewall? | 05:48 |
| joejoecircusboy | kaiwen: Does each arp table have the other PC's MAC address? | 05:48 |
| nickrud | poor MichaelXin being called a spammer ;) | 05:48 |
| kaiwen | no, i don't think so? | 05:48 |
| Gnea | oh man | 05:48 |
| Gnea | MichaelXin: sorry about that :) | 05:48 |
| greencookie | lol | 05:48 |
| therealnanotube | kaiwen: well, did you install a firewall? try "sudo iptables --list" to list all firewall rules | 05:48 |
| joejoecircusboy | kaiwen: Do an 'arp -a' on the host doing the pinging, see if it resovled the other PC's MAC address | 05:48 |
| Gnea | Jack's got me one-upped | 05:48 |
| Jack_Sparrow | :) | 05:49 |

| kindofabuzz | i had errors on a hard drive on my server. ran fsck, rebooted, got the login, then fsck started again by itself. but server is up. is that normal? | 05:49 |
| kaiwen | from the laptop. | 05:49 |
| kaiwen | let me check pc. | 05:49 |
| joejoecircusboy | kaiwen: What does arp -a output? | 05:49 |
| kaiwen | (192.168.5.1) at <incomplete> on eth0 | 05:50 |
| therealnanotube | kaiwen: well... here's a quick test: can you plug one of the comps into a router (rather than the other comp), with the same cable, and see if you get the regular ip configuration going. if so, then you've got a straight cable rather than a crossover. | 05:50 |
| Gnea | kindofabuzz: was it a system-partition that was being fscked? | 05:50 |
| joejoecircusboy | kaiwen: cabling/hardware/drive issue then | 05:50 |
| joejoecircusboy | *driver | 05:50 |
| kaiwen | therealnanotube, this is a crossover, bought from radioshack, it works windows to windows | 05:50 |
| kindofabuzz | Gnea: the fsck that i ran or the one it's running now? | 05:50 |
| Gnea | kindofabuzz: that one it's running now | 05:50 |
| joejoecircusboy | kaiwen: What driver is loaded? | 05:50 |
| kaiwen | for? | 05:51 |
| joejoecircusboy | the network interface | 05:51 |
| kaiwen | I'm not sure, how can I check? | 05:51 |
| DozedOnLinux | kindofabuzz: i believe that is auto-check feature, after so many logins/logouts it will do that automatically | 05:51 |
| kindofabuzz | Gnea: to tell you the truth i can't tell | 05:51 |
| Gnea | kindofabuzz: ps axf | grep fsck | 05:51 |
| jeeves__ | is there a good site to see compatable TV capture cards and satellite tuners? | 05:51 |
| Jack_Sparrow | !tv | 05:51 |
| ubottu | http://www.linuxtv.org/ has extensive information about using TV cards under Linux. Available viewers for analog cards: Zapping, tvtime (GTK/GNOME), kdetv (KDE), xawtv, motv. For digital cards: Klear (KDE), dvb-utils. For both analog and digital cards, !MythTV is a powerful framework. Your card may work the !IVTV drivers. See also !TV-Out | 05:51 |
| joejoecircusboy | kaiwen: hmm... search the output of 'dmesg' for something related to eth0 | 05:51 |
| Agent_bob | issue when i launch xfce4, it comes up with the default background and panels but then the panels vanish, and right click does nothing. i can alt+f2 run xfce4-panel and get them back. but nothing seems | 05:51 |
| Agent_bob | to be sticky. any thoughts on why ? | 05:52 |
| kaiwen | ok i'm doing a dmesg | grep eth0 | 05:52 |
| kindofabuzz | Gnea: 4798 pts/0 S+ 0:00 \_ grep fsck whatever that means | 05:52 |
| kaiwen | it shows like | 05:52 |
| kaiwen | link is not ready | 05:52 |
| joejoecircusboy | kaiwen: It may not be the same line... (may be the one before or after) | 05:52 |
| therealnanotube | kaiwen: ah i see. ok... do both computers connect to the net when you just use a straight cable to connect to a router (this will test to make sure that both NICS are operational)? | 05:52 |
| kaiwen | for eth0 which is the ethernet port i'm using | 05:52 |
| Gnea | kindofabuzz: hrm, it means that it's not fscking anymore | 05:52 |
| Agent_bob | sorry about splitting that. | 05:52 |
| DozedOnLinux | Agent_bob: i ran into similiar when i changed from Gnome to Gnome/OpenBox sessions, it since had fixed itself apparently | 05:53 |
| kaiwen | yes, therealnanotube, I know it's not a cable issue. | 05:53 |
| jeeves__ | Jack_Sparrow, Thanks man. I came here first because I know you know the answers | 05:53 |
| kindofabuzz | Gnea: on the server it is | 05:53 |
| kaiwen | more like a configuration issue. | 05:53 |
| Jack_Sparrow | jeeves__ What'd I do this time | 05:53 |
| Gnea | kindofabuzz: is there a swirling twirly? | 05:53 |
| * nickrud bows in Jack_Sparrow's general direction | 05:53 | |
| Jack_Sparrow | Hey nickrud .. | 05:53 |
| kindofabuzz | Gnea: i mean on the server itself, fsck is scrolling aross the screen | 05:53 |
| therealnanotube | kaiwen: yes, i know you already said that - now the question is, maybe its a NIC issue (not hardware, since it works on windows - but drivers?) | 05:53 |
| Agent_bob | DozedOnLinux hmmm well on dapper it's not likely to "fix itself" i'll have to fix it if it gets fixed... | 05:53 |
| kaiwen | both drivers are installed correctly | 05:54 |
| jeeves__ | Jack_Sparrow, you got me the info. I'm looking to build a MythTV back end | 05:54 |
| kaiwen | and they both show up at dmesg. | 05:54 |
| Gnea | kindofabuzz: can you take a picture? | 05:54 |
| Jack_Sparrow | np | 05:54 |
| joejoecircusboy | Kaiwen: I've seen issues where a driver was loaded but didn't send/receive | 05:54 |
| kaiwen | ok, how do I check this then? | 05:54 |
| DozedOnLinux | Agent_bob: i cant be sure of what it was doing, i didnt seem to have the issue on restart of box | 05:54 |
| kindofabuzz | Gnea: i'm just ssh'n to the server to run taht last command. can't run it on server itself, no prompt because of the fsck | 05:55 |
| kaiwen | that may be the case for me, since it shows : link is not ready | 05:55 |
| joejoecircusboy | Kaiwen: Need to know what driver you're loaded. maybe do a 'lsmod', and msg me the output? | 05:55 |
| greencookie | my internet connection stops working after 5-10 seconds helP! | 05:55 |
| Agent_bob | DozedOnLinux lol.... the old "reboot will fix anything" ploy eeh :))) | 05:55 |
| Gnea | kindofabuzz: so ssh isn't really going thru? | 05:55 |
| kindofabuzz | Gnea: and doesn't the auto check feature happen before login prompt? this happened after i got the prompt | 05:55 |
| kaiwen | how do i message you teh whole output? | 05:55 |
| kindofabuzz | Gnea: yeah i can ssh, connected now | 05:56 |
| jeeves__ | Jack_Sparrow, any other ideas? Something more about satellite tuners? | 05:56 |
| joejoecircusboy | Dunno.. this is my first time here | 05:56 |
| Agent_bob | DozedOnLinux i have rebooted, although i confess that i had no faith that a reboot would help and, sure enough it didn't .... maybe it's not the reboot but the faith that heals all our computer woes ... | 05:56 |
| Jack_Sparrow | jeeves__ see the mythtv room, there are sat tuners that use the samer cards | 05:56 |
| Jack_Sparrow | !mythtv | 05:56 |
| DozedOnLinux | greencookie: in CMOS check what controls your mouse/keyboard(change to BIOS control) or ACIP (turn off), you could try either or both, see what happens, as there is other methods of accomplishing the same. | 05:56 |
| ubottu | MythTV is a TV framework for Linux - Instructions for using with Ubuntu at https://help.ubuntu.com/community/MythTV | 05:56 |
| jeeves__ | Jack_Sparrow, thanks | 05:56 |
| Jack_Sparrow | np | 05:57 |
| Gnea | kindofabuzz: please explain a bit better... is the server physically in the same room that you are in and does it have a monitor hooked up to it? | 05:57 |
| greencookie | CMOS u mean at startup? | 05:57 |
| DozedOnLinux | Agent_bob: is there a reqason why you are using dapper other than another distro ? | 05:57 |
| therealnanotube | kaiwen: well, as i said, try connecting the two comps each to a router with a straight cable, and run the dhcp config, and see if you get net connectivity. if that works, then you'll know that it's not a driver or config issue, but just something with the way you are doing the straight comp-to-comp config. if the "normal" internet doesn't work either, then you know it's drivers - and then you can look at that stuff like joejoecirc | 05:57 |
| therealnanotube | usboy says. | 05:57 |
| Agent_bob | DozedOnLinux yeah debian doesn't offer shipit | 05:57 |
| kindofabuzz | Gnea: yes, well in other room. it's running fsck, but the ps axf | grep fsck says it's not | 05:57 |
| Agent_bob | DozedOnLinux oh you mean "other than another release" ? | 05:58 |
| therealnanotube | kaiwen: btw, to private message, you can use command "/msg username". or you can use the pastebin (paste.ubuntu.com) to post extended output, then post a link to it here. | 05:58 |
| Agent_bob | DozedOnLinux yeah dialup. | 05:58 |
| kindofabuzz | Gnea: i'm gonna reboot it. maybe some weird fluke | 05:58 |
| Gnea | kindofabuzz: why is it running fsck? was there a power outage? | 05:58 |
| DozedOnLinux | greencookie: yes at system boot screen. usually DEL/ESC or F1 to enter CMOS setup. check settings first, and make sure you can retrun them to defaults, if need be. that worked for me, the same situation. mine would drop at 5-10 seconds as well | 05:58 |
| dfgas | how do you extract something to have the same permissions with tar? i usually use xvzf | 05:59 |
| znh | I accidentally messed up my groups my user. Now I can't do no more sudo, as it claims I am not in the sudoers file.. Help please | 05:59 |
| greencookie | DozedOnLinux : didnt work for me:( damn i WISH i could get net working on my ubuntu box:( | 05:59 |
| DozedOnLinux | greencookie: i tried the noapic and irqpoll in GRUB options, that worked but affected my vid display, so i did the same changes in CMOS, and skipped the GRUB options | 05:59 |
| kindofabuzz | Gnea: no, an old hard drive that I installed and mounted /home on evidently was bad. wouldn't even boot. so i ran fsck, did it's thing, rebooted it, got the login. and as i was about to login it started running fsck again all by itself | 05:59 |
| Flannel | znh: reboot to the recovery console (at GRUB) and usermod -G admin -a [yourusername] | 05:59 |
| Agent_bob | dfgas iirc from "man tar" it should default to -p | 05:59 |
| Gnea | kindofabuzz: that's weird.... i'd back the data up if possible | 06:00 |
| Flannel | znh: You need to be in the admin group to sudo, that previous command adds you there. You'll probably need to re-add all your other groups too: adm dialout cdrom floppy audio dip video plugdev lpadmin scanner admin | 06:00 |
| greencookie | this is getting tiring. ill try it some other day | 06:00 |
| greencookie | good nite all. | 06:00 |
| Switchcat | heh, so I submitted the bug and it told me "KMitnick" was informed... I assume that is some developers idea of a joke? :P | 06:01 |
| DozedOnLinux | greencookie: do in terminal (make sure no two are using same IRQ > cat /proc/interrupts | 06:01 |
| znh | Flannel, ty! | 06:01 |
| kaiwen | ok, got it | 06:01 |
| DozedOnLinux | greencookie: if you can get it to work for them few seconds, there is a way, so dont lose faith. | 06:01 |
| greencookie | DozedOnLinux: ok hold on | 06:01 |
| greencookie | DozedOnLinux: just enough to get to google.com then no more connection lol..sucks | 06:02 |

| bullgard4 | Gnea: What does your message "*nod*" mean? (I know the meaning of the sentence "I am nodding my head.") | 06:03 |
| greencookie | lol DozedOnLinux | 06:03 |
| kaiwen | still working with someone | 06:03 |
| kaiwen | ;) | 06:03 |
| Gnea | bullgard4: i was agreeing with what you said | 06:03 |
| DozedOnLinux | greencookie: my card Linksys Wireless G v4.1 / RT61 chipset and module | 06:03 |
| kindofabuzz | Gnea: just rebooted and during boot it said both drives were clean, then it scrolled through some more fsck again, got the login prompt, then it started again. i'll just let it go through this time. not worried about losing anything. it was a freah server install | 06:03 |
| kindofabuzz | freash* | 06:03 |
| kindofabuzz | fresh* =) | 06:03 |
| greencookie | DozedOnLinux: mine is netgear wlan adapter | 06:03 |
| Jack_Sparrow | justin_ You cant really install it into windows, just from windows and I dont care for wubi which is what you would use to do that | 06:03 |
| Gnea | kindofabuzz: cool beans | 06:03 |
| bullgard4 | Gnea: Thank you for your information. | 06:04 |
| kindofabuzz | Gnea: i'm assuming after it mounted it, it found more problems or something | 06:04 |
| greencookie | DozedOnLinux: can't i just disable eth0 since i dont use wired connection? i think that might be screwing things up?:P | 06:04 |
| Gnea | bullgard4: don't mention it | 06:04 |
| justin_ | Jack_Sparrow, I see, I thought it was pretty neat though that you have an option to somehow virtual machine it i guess on top of windows | 06:04 |
| Jack_Sparrow | justin_ you can vm things.. but I dont like those either | 06:05 |
| DozedOnLinux | greencookie: is eth0 onboard or add-in card ? | 06:05 |
| === Onerice is now known as Matsarn | ||
| greencookie | onboard DozedOnLinux | 06:06 |
| DozedOnLinux | greencookie: dmesg | grep wlan0 , yes there is a way to disable it from within linux, but the cure excapes me at this time | 06:06 |
| DozedOnLinux | greencookie: then disable in CMOS | 06:06 |
| greencookie | ok dozed | 06:06 |
| Gnea | DozedOnLinux: blacklist? | 06:06 |
| m08 | I've got a retarded noobie question. I just installed ubuntu, do I need to install drivers for my motherboard, etc? | 06:07 |

| DozedOnLinux | greencookie: mine isnt on blacklist, as for freencookie, i dont know right now. | 06:07 |
| Jack_Sparrow | m08 not really | 06:07 |
| m08 | ok | 06:07 |
| Gnea | m08: nope, it will autodetect and load everything up for you (for the most part) | 06:07 |
| Gnea | m08: click on System->Preferences->Hardware Information | 06:08 |
| DozedOnLinux | greencookie: in terminal (this will show errors associated with wlan0> dmesg | grep wlan0 | 06:08 |
| m08 | I've heard I should install the latest ati (8.7) drivers for my video card, if I want to also install dv4l so I can watch tv with my tvtuner card, is that correct ? | 06:08 |

(and i'll stop repeting now.) | 06:09 |
| Gnea | m08: make sure you install the correct driver for your specific card | 06:09 |
| Jack_Sparrow | m08 Careful what drivers you install. I strongly suggest you make a full backup before you experiment | 06:09 |

| greencookie | DozedOnLinux: what would wmaster0 be? maybe something to do with my problem? | 06:10 |
| crimsun | neoblitz: 64-bit Ubuntu? | 06:10 |
| DozedOnLinux | greencookie: if you can connect for them few seconds, i would think you have the correct driver, just something else is affecting it and dropping it. | 06:11 |
| geev8 | ubottu, can you tell me the different of LAMPp and XAMPP | 06:11 |

| geev8 | how do i set password into mysql server | 06:12 |
| DozedOnLinux | greencookie: try a few things. either disable eth0 in cmos, or attempt allowing BIOS to control mouse/keyboard, or even use kernel options >irqpoll | 06:12 |
| greencookie | lol Jack_Sparrow maybe thats it :( | 06:12 |
| Penol | !mysql password | 06:12 |

| brent | hey does nayone know why i cant login to my amsn account? | 06:15 |
| rodold | penol: ive followed all of the instructions on the website but when i try to install the drivers it says that ndiswrapper isnt installed | 06:15 |
| Penol | brent: the msn servers having problem... | 06:15 |
| greencookie | I think i'd better get a new computer lol. asus eee:) | 06:15 |
| DozedOnLinux | greencookie: its not typically needed as your fan on CPU will run at 100% with it disabled, although i see that linux still loads it, so i think the two may fight each other, so disabling it in CMOS, still allows linux to control the apic | 06:15 |
| Penol | rodold: guide from? | 06:15 |
| rodold | rodold: on the ndiswrapper install guide | 06:15 |
| DozedOnLinux | greencookie: its more for laptops than desktops, from my understanding | 06:15 |

| genesismachine | vlc and totem will crash xserver 80-90% of the time for me on my macbook, and amarok will sometimes just hang. Any ideas on what the problem could be? It seems to be some sort of video/audio playback issue since there are no problems until I start playing a video | 06:16 |

| DozedOnLinux | greencookie: if in doubt, make sure the fan is still going, as a burnt up cpu will do no good. most newer boards will shutdown automatically anyhow. in the old-days it would just cook your cpu till it was french-fried :P | 06:20 |

| bmarley13 | bodsda, thanks. what does gksudo do? | 06:23 |
| RequinB4 | !rootsudo | 06:24 |
| ubottu | sudo is a command to run programs with superuser privileges ("root"). Look at https://help.ubuntu.com/community/RootSudo for more information. For graphical applications see !gksu (Gnome), or !kdesu (KDE) | 06:24 |
| Maxwell390180 | Slart: It is giving me nothing but a white box. | 06:24 |
| RequinB4 | !gksudo | 06:24 |
| ubottu | If you need to run graphical applications as root, use « gksudo », as it will set up the environment more appropriately. Never just use "sudo"! (See http://psychocats.net/ubuntu/graphicalsudo to know why) | 06:24 |
| alraune | geev8: first updatedb, then locate <filename> | 06:24 |
| DozedOnLinux | j1mc: i can show you my STATIC setup for interfaces file | 06:24 |

| alraune | Reformer81: ?? | 06:35 |
| RequinB4 | rodold: If you installed the driver correctly, it should automatically be added to network-manger | 06:35 |
| RequinB4 | rodold: wifi networks, that is | 06:35 |
| kdb424 | is there a way to reinstall ubuntu by overwrighting files, but not loosing the files that you added on? | 06:35 |

| rodold | DozedOnLinux: anyway, when i try to delete it it says "Inappropriate ioctl for device" (??) | 07:01 |
| DozedOnLinux | rodold: use the drivers that are on the CD that came with the card. those are more than likely the ones you want to use. ndiswrapper may like them best | 07:01 |

| echojack | hi. does anyone know what the name of this application is? I need to start it from the command line and do not have a monitor to connect this machine to. http://maketecheasier.com/set-up-a-vnc-server-in-ubuntu-hardy-heron/2008/05/30 I need to know how to activate the VNC server without pointing and clicking on things. | 07:07 |
| cjs_ | Gtwy: i would have guessed that removign undesierable resolutions from xorg.conf would solve your problem | 07:08 |
| DozedOnLinux | !info vnc | 07:08 |
| ubottu | Package vnc does not exist in hardy | 07:08 |
| DozedOnLinux | !vnc | 07:08 |
| ubottu | VNC is a protocol for remote desktop. https://help.ubuntu.com/community/VNCOverSSH describes how to use it securely. It works best over fast connections, otherwise look at !FreeNX | 07:08 |
| alraune | kdb424: don't now mac so good, can u create a shared folder there ? | 07:08 |
| joejoecircusboy | echojack: I think it's more involved than running a command... IIRC, the VNC support is an entirely separate X server | 07:08 |
| echojack | DozedOnLinux: that page doesn't help, mostly because x11vnc doesn't work. | 07:09 |
| kristian42 | Anyone know SW that will give me audible feedback of wlan signal strength ? (When walking around a hotel room...) | 07:09 |
| echojack | joejoecircusboy: that's good to know. that page makes it sound like it's "just running a command," though. | 07:09 |
| echojack | DozedOnLinux: I get this when I try to use x11vnc in that way: X Error of failed request: BadAccess (attempt to access private resource denied) | 07:10 |

| echojack | ...cheesier? O_o | 07:10 |
| DozedOnLinux | echojack: i dont do vnc, sorry i cant help you with that subject | 07:10 |
| DozedOnLinux | echojack: yes the link name way it sounds-out. just doesnt sound authentic. my opinion | 07:11 |
| DozedOnLinux | echojack: best i can say is search the supported site> help.ubuntu.com | 07:12 |
| echojack | first I tried doing X forwarding to run QEMU, but then when I went to install an image in QEMU the keymapping was all wrong, so I figured I would try VNC instead of X forwarding. | 07:13 |
| joejoecircusboy | echo: Why don't you just use X11? | 07:13 |
| DozedOnLinux | echojack: there is also a channel > #networking or #network | 07:13 |
| alraune | echojack:knowing vnc from win I can tell you there are several things to be checked on the server-side, you access to it :(rw permission,ports,fw) | 07:13 |
| echojack | joejoecircusboy: keymapping was wrong and I couldn't figure out why. "Enter" key produced a j, "1" key produced an e, etc. | 07:14 |

| Dexikiix | DistroJockey: more specifically, i did sudo apt-get install tcl | 08:24 |
| alraune | tct13: still getting this ,please open a dialogue yourself, (left click on my name in list) | 08:24 |
| joejoecircusboy | flexgrip: I would guess it's more probable that it's your RAM | 08:24 |

| otwr | cool, ralink almost made me switch to fedora or something | 08:25 |
| bazhang | Beta-guy, #ubuntu-ps3 | 08:25 |
| DistroJockey | Dexikiix, and you are looking for how to run it? | 08:25 |
| Dexikiix | Beta-guy: if you use PS3 on HD with a HDMI cable, get the yellowdog release for PS3 | 08:25 |
| Flannel | Beta-guy: I believe the most recent is 7.10 | 08:25 |
| Dexikiix | DistroJockey: i am just trying to do ./configure but it says it cant find tcl | 08:25 |

| tarzeau | does someone have enblend/enfuse ubuntu packages? | 08:25 |
| joejoecircusboy | flexgrip: RAM can get unreliable sometimes... flips bits, causing corruption (especially if you overclock) | 08:25 |

| Dexikiix | ohk | 08:26 |

| joejoecircusboy | flexgrip: luckily, there's a great memory tester that ships with Ubuntu. Just reboot, and run memtest86 from the grub menu | 08:26 |
| Flannel | flexgrip: (let it run once or twice through, then stop it, it will run forever if you don't stop it) | 08:26 |
| flexgrip | joejoe - God damn I love ubuntu. Thanks, I will let you know how it goes. Does it, or can it, do any repairs? | 08:27 |
| joejoecircusboy | flexgrip: memtest86 will run in an infinite loop... most errors will be detected in the first 10 mins or so though | 08:27 |
| DistroJockey | Dexikiix, did you install build-essential also? | 08:27 |
| joejoecircusboy | flexgrip: pretty much a replacement type repair | 08:27 |
| flexgrip | joejoe - lucky for me I have a week long warranty and I got this ram two weeks ago ;-) | 08:28 |
| Dexikiix | DistroJockey: no... not yet at least | 08:28 |
| octavius | so if i have a bunch of .php files in a dir, and want to change them all to .bak | 08:28 |

| otwr | octavius: use rename (i think it's part of mysql) | 08:29 |
| vegpuff | how do i find which process is using the sound card? | 08:30 |
| DistroJockey_ | Dexikiix, sorry bout that ADSL died (why does typing build-essential do that to me :() | 08:30 |
| Dexikiix | DistroJockey_: beats me, but no i dont have it | 08:31 |
| DistroJockey_ | Dexikiix, you may need it | 08:31 |
| Dexikiix | sudo apt-get build-essential? | 08:31 |
| joejoecircusboy | vegpuff: If you know the sound device files, 'lsof' can help | 08:31 |
| kaper | octavius, i think $mv *.php *.bak | 08:31 |
| DistroJockey_ | Dexikiix, with intall after apt-get yeah :) | 08:31 |
| Dexikiix | oh yeah | 08:32 |
| joejoecircusboy | vegpuff: (lsof = list open files) | 08:32 |

| flexgrip | zne1 - did you allow guest access? | 08:50 |
| joejoecircusboy | flexgrip: ya, you should do it from another instance (with the drive unmounted) | 08:50 |

| flexgrip | Paulo - on the compiz fusion site they have a description of the plugins from plugins-main plugins-extra etc. I think that has something to do with the expo plugin or something. I forgot. | 08:52 |

| Atax | Hi all, is there something like the windows device-manager under ubuntu? ... I m trying to figure out if the correct drivers for my nforce570sli -chipset are installed! | 08:53 |
| flexgrip | zne1 - You are wanting to view a samba share you made in ubuntu on a windows machine right? | 08:53 |
| [z]ne1 | flexgrip: yupz thats right | 08:53 |
| joejoecircusboy | Atax: (un)surprisingly, no :) | 08:53 |
| joejoecircusboy | Atax: But, nvidia-settings should give you the info you need | 08:54 |

| [z]ne1 | flexgrip: i can acctually see the linux machine and the shared folder, but if i open the folder and enter my security credentials after that, it says i dont have a permission etc etc... | 08:54 |
| Atax | joejoecircusboy: where do I view nvidia-settings? | 08:54 |
| PauloRicardo | flexgrip: hmm, I'will look that, thanks! :) It's not always... depends on mouse movement... very very strange | 08:55 |
| flexgrip | zne1 - Try sharing it as root to see if you can get it working. do 'sudo nautilus' in the terminal, right click and share the folder, then try it again from the windows machine. | 08:55 |
| Atax | legend2440: Is there such a thing? A gnome-device-manager, ... where? | 08:55 |
| joejoecircusboy | Atax: it's a package you install, then run from the command line (both the package and the command line tool are called 'nvidia-settings' | 08:55 |
| Atax | joejoecircusboy: I see, thanks! | 08:55 |
| joejoecircusboy | Atax: don't bother with gnome-device-manager... it just lists hardware detected (not actually configured) | 08:56 |

| alraune | Dexikiix: n8... | 08:56 |
| otwr | Atax, joejoecircusboy: so try lsmod first\ | 08:56 |
| flexgrip | zne1 - I always allow guest read and write to the samba shares and when it asks for credentials I just use guest and leave the password blank. but when I kicked windows I use nfs on all my shares. A LOT better transfers and a lot easier. | 08:57 |
| anthropoidster | Hey All. In the 'Places' dropdown menu I get a bunch of places that I want to remove. I go to Nautilus Bookmarks and remove them - no problem. But when I restart or log out and in, the same places keep coming back - problem. How do I permanently remove them. | 08:57 |
| legend2440 | Atax: sudo apt-get install gnome-device-manager | 08:57 |
| Atax | Thanks otwr! | 08:57 |
| Atax | legend2440: I already install it to have a look at it, ... thanks! | 08:58 |

| otwr | babo, nope... i set up a phone home-type thing myself. just "sudo crontab -e" and put in that line and it should run before anyone logs in | 09:01 |

| Atax | legend2440: joejoecircusboy: Thanks you 2! .... Any idea where I tell s me if the correct drivers for my nforce570 chipset has been properly installed? | 09:02 |
| anthropoidster | flexgrip: actually I never made these bookmarks - they just appeared one day and now they keep coming back on every start. They point to a few different directories within directories within /home. | 09:03 |
| acrousey | i'm having problems with the update manager. I can get into it and see that I can download updates, but when I click "Install updates" the manager freezes. I can still download through the terminal, however I would like to get the update manager going again. | 09:03 |
| alraune | babo: think got your idea | 09:03 |
| legend2440 | joejoecircusboy: yes but command line is still more efficient in my opinion | 09:03 |
| alraune | babo: paste the script ! | 09:03 |
| joejoecircusboy | Atax: for the GPU portion? | 09:03 |
| babo | otwr, yeah but it'll phone home every second then ... i don't want it creating a socket 80,000 times a day | 09:03 |
| babo | alraune, i already did post the script. the script is wget ... | 09:03 |

| boo | list | 09:05 |
| flexgrip | anthro - run sudo nautilus and then go to the bookmarks and see if there are any in there | 09:05 |
| alraune | babo: see, well if you manually try this in cli, does that work ? | 09:05 |
| joejoecircusboy | Atax: Hmm... well the only thing that really wouldn't be installed correctly is the GPU (graphics) driver.. The best way to check that is to use the nvidia-settings tool | 09:05 |
| Atax | errrr, help! I just zoomed in by pressing WIN + E , .... how do I unzoom again? :) lol! | 09:05 |
| anthropoidster | flexgrip: Yes, that's an interesting thought - a video dir, a picture dir, a audio dir and the main dir. Indicating a media program of some sorts perhaps. | 09:05 |
| bazhang | flexgrip, gksudo, and that particular command you need to be very careful with be sure anthropoidster knows it | 09:06 |
| anthropoidster | flexgrip: yea, already tried root user and no bookmarks in nautilus there. | 09:06 |
| otwr | babo: try something like "1 * * * *" or something before that command (see eg. http://webfuse.cqu.edu.au/Courses/aut2001/85321/Resources/Lectures/14/2/ | 09:06 |
| flexgrip | ohh yeah, I forgot to mention you can screw and delete stuff that you don't need to when you run nautilus as root. sorry | 09:07 |

| joejoecircusboy | Atax: I'm making an assumption that you're using the onboard graphics... if you have an add-on graphics card, there's nothing really to check with the remaining nForce functionality... it should just all work (they're all fully supported by the stock kernel) | 09:07 |
| babo | otwr, it'll still run every second ... | 09:07 |
| Atax | joejoecircusboy: Yeah, ... seems to be the best answer, ... i ll install that tool, thanks! | 09:07 |
| flexgrip | anthro - videos pictures music etc come like that out of the box. those are the folders you are talking about? | 09:07 |

| utnubudnai | joejoecircusboy, unfortunately,eyething seems ok?but ... | 09:13 |
| anthropoidster | flexgrip: nothing special added outside of regular startup stuff. I think I need to restart and investigate it further looking for a related program as you suggested. | 09:13 |
| mgolisch | Jadewolf: maybe there you can use nomachine.com`s nx | 09:13 |
| mgolisch | it works quite good for me | 09:13 |
| mgolisch | its fast even over the internet | 09:13 |
| flexgrip | anthro - Yeah, it would seem they are getting added on login. Which makes me think it is being added every time. | 09:13 |
| joejoecircusboy | Jadewolf: Ya, no RDP outside of Windows...... YOu can configure Ubuntu with VNC though. Did you look into that/ | 09:14 |
| Smegzor | I'm having trouble setting up a remote friends computer to allow me to get a remote desktop. I prefer XDMCP over vnc. I can SSH in and I have got the friend to enable remote logins via the administration menu and I have rebooted his pc. Could someone talk me through setting up XDMCP? I have pinholed a port for SSH and thats all. | 09:14 |
| alraune | acrousey: did you do an upgrade or a clean hardy install? | 09:14 |
| Jadewolf | its a local server I just built and didn't setup RDP in X so I wanted to set it up via ssh | 09:14 |
| acrousey | alraune: clean install | 09:14 |
| mgolisch | Jadewolf: there is no rdp | 09:14 |
| ikonia | Smegzor: xdmcp over the intenet is not a good idea | 09:14 |
| anthropoidster | flexgrip: thanks for the lead - I'll see if it gets somewhere. | 09:14 |
| otwr | Jadewolf: sorry, didn't read the ssh part. Have you tried ssh -X? | 09:14 |
| Smegzor | ikonia. What do you recommend? | 09:14 |
| flexgrip | let me know how it turns out | 09:14 |
| babo | alraune: mannally try wget ? yes | 09:14 |
| ikonia | smegzor you should be able to setup most of his box through ssh | 09:14 |
| acrousey | alraune: it has worked in the past, but has recently begun to freeze on my | 09:14 |
| anthropoidster | flexgrip: yea - later... | 09:15 |
| alraune | acrousey: tried to reinstall the update-notifier ? | 09:15 |
| ikonia | Smegzor: anything else either launch an individual app over x11/ssh or talk him through | 09:15 |
| Smegzor | yes except I want to install XP as a guest OS on virtualbox. I need a desktop for that. | 09:15 |
| acrousey | alraune: how do i do that? | 09:15 |
| alraune | babo: from terminal, it produces the log you want, right ? | 09:15 |
| ikonia | Smegzor: talk him through, that sort of thing is not recommended over the internet | 09:15 |
| joejoecircusboy | utnubudnai: you can pick a couple different devices to changes volumes on, and for each device there are a few different channels you can adjust (some are hidden by default)... just mess around in there for a bit... | 09:15 |
| flexgrip | smegzor why not use ssh -x ? | 09:15 |
| alraune | acrousey: open a terminal... | 09:16 |
| flexgrip | smegzor I mean ssh -X whatever@ipaddress | 09:16 |
| Smegzor | .. or you could help me with the real problem. The msn clients for linux do not support Hebrew. I have been unable to add that. | 09:16 |
| alraune | babo : ?? | 09:16 |
| joejoecircusboy | Smegzor: Can you run MSN Messenger in Wine? | 09:16 |
| ikonia | Smegzor: the real problem ??? what are you talking about, if this is not the real problem why are you asking about it ? | 09:17 |
| babo | alraune, yes | 09:17 |
| acrousey | alraune: I meant, what code... I'm newish to linux and ubuntu | 09:17 |
| flexgrip | Yeah I don't get it either | 09:17 |
| flexgrip | Not willing to use vnc | 09:17 |
| babo | rc.local is called from every runlevel right ? | 09:17 |
| Smegzor | I am asking about remote desktops so I can install XP as an alternative to a working MSN client running natively on ubuntu | 09:17 |
| flexgrip | using the -X option in ssh will allow you to install virtualbox and set it up with a gui | 09:17 |
| Smegzor | but if I can get MSN in Hebrew I don't need XP | 09:18 |
| alraune | babo: from terminal, it produces the log you want, right ? | 09:18 |
| flexgrip | so you are trying to install virtualbox and run windows inside of linux just to use msn? | 09:18 |
| ikonia | Smegzor: well, a.) I'd look at wine rather than a full VM for messanger b.) which msn client are you using pidgin ? | 09:18 |
| babo | alraune, right. | 09:18 |
| kaper | Smegzor, you can use pidgin | 09:18 |
| flexgrip | Smegzor - does meebo have the language options you want? | 09:19 |
| Smegzor | I'll try that. I'm unfamiliar with running apps over X that way. I could use and example for running an app over SSH using X. | 09:19 |
| alraune | acrousey: open a terminal..., type: sudo apt-get remove --purge update-notifier update-notifier-common | 09:19 |
| acrousey | thanks | 09:19 |
| alraune | babo: then maybe the network isn't up yet, try a delay ... | 09:19 |
| Smegzor | I haven't tried meebo. Pidgin doesn't appear to support different languages from whatever the user is using. They want the rest of the login in English | 09:20 |
| ikonia | Smegzor: wine is a more effeciant way or doing this | 09:20 |
| jjbin | hi all are there some other irc-tools for the Ubuntu except the xchat-gnome | 09:20 |
| ikonia | Smegzor: running a whole VM for the sake of msn is backwards | 09:20 |
| flexgrip | way more efficient | 09:20 |
| Smegzor | I like wine a lot ^^ | 09:20 |
| cumulus007 | jjbin, Pidgin | 09:20 |
| joejoecircusboy | Smegzor: I just did a quick google - It seems like Pidgin has supported Hebrew for awhile now? | 09:20 |
| CorpseFeeder | I drink it often too | 09:20 |
| Smegzor | I'm in NZ (very backwards) | 09:20 |
| kaper | jjbin, xchat | 09:20 |
| babo | alraune, right. maybe network doesn't come up untill you're logged in though ... | 09:20 |
| alraune | babo: changed any permissions ? irewall ? user privs for outdial ? | 09:20 |
| babo | nope | 09:20 |
| ikonia | Smegzor: I strongly suggest you look at wine | 09:20 |
| otwr | jjbin: the ubuntu-hardcores are always nattering about irssi | 09:20 |

| jjbin | are there some like the mirc just in the windows | 09:23 |
| bazhang | sauvin, offtopic | 09:23 |
| otwr | jjbin: apparently, irssi is the IRC client all the cool kids use. I'm still on xchat though | 09:23 |
| ikonia | knexx: what is your end goal, you want a blank disk ? | 09:23 |
| knexx | yes. | 09:23 |
| ikonia | knexx: ok, then I suggest you "format" your disk with the file system you want, that way you know it's %100 blank | 09:24 |
| alraune | acrousey: open a terminal..., type: sudo apt-get remove --purge update-notifier update-notifier-common , got it ? | 09:24 |
| sauvin | bazhang, I was confirming that CorpseFeeder has a fonts problem. | 09:24 |
| acrousey | yeah | 09:24 |
| dexi | im sure this isnt a new thing... anyone got a quick fix for flash not having sound? | 09:24 |
| joejoecircusboy | knexx: Do you know what disk it is (as in the linux device file) | 09:24 |
| knexx | so, chg it from ntfs to something like ext3 or something? | 09:24 |
| jjbin | ok | 09:24 |
| ikonia | knexx: yes, that seems the best way to make sure it's clean | 09:24 |
| knexx | k | 09:24 |
| alraune | acrousey: open a terminal..., type: sudo apt-get install update-notifier update-notifier-common | 09:24 |
| knexx | lemme try it | 09:25 |
| knexx | joejoecircusboy, wut | 09:25 |
| sauvin | Flash often doesn't have sound for me if /dev/dsp is busy with something else. | 09:25 |
| CorpseFeeder | How do I fix google earth fonts? | 09:25 |
| alraune | acrousey: using kde or gnome ? | 09:25 |
| joejoecircusboy | knexx: Do you know the linux device file for your disk (e.g. /dev/sda) | 09:25 |
| acrousey | gnome, i think | 09:25 |
| dexi | sauvin: thats messed up, it should always have sound :p | 09:25 |
| pvh_sa|wrk | heya, i'd like to migrate the f-spot data i've build up on one pc to another pc - does anyone know what i need to copy across? | 09:25 |
| knexx | wait | 09:25 |
| acrousey | what does the first part of each thing mean? | 09:25 |
| coldpizza | hey, how do i enter 'recovery' mode from a ubuntu cd? I want to reinstall some broken packages (e.g. nautilus) without reinstalling the entire system; is that possible? | 09:26 |
| otwr | oh hey, i have an actual question: is anyone else having Flash non-working issues in Firefox? It works for a while after starting, but then it stops. Konqueror is apparently unaffected. | 09:26 |
| acrousey | the ¿ | 09:26 |
| knexx | lemme check | 09:26 |
| alraune | acrousey: k, then one manual : sudo apt-get update && apt-get upgrade | 09:26 |
| joejoecircusboy | otwr: Ya, I thought it was a 64 bit thing | 09:26 |
| dexi | otwr, i just have non-working sound in flash | 09:26 |
| otwr | ok, just wondering. I'm sure it'll get fixed, someday | 09:26 |
| pvh_sa|wrk | i see there is a .gnome2/f-spot - i wonder if i can just tar that up (along with Photos) and move it across - anyone tried that? | 09:26 |
| joejoecircusboy | otwr: Ya, right after Sun releases a 64-bit java plugin :P | 09:27 |
| dexi | otwr, do you know how to fix the sound issue? | 09:27 |
| CorpseFeeder | What's up with this - http://i7.photobucket.com/albums/y265/BlackDalek/Screenshot-GoogleEarth.png anyone???? | 09:27 |
| alraune | acrousey: could you paste your /etc/apt/sources.list ? | 09:27 |
| knexx | gparted is taking a long time to load | 09:27 |
| knexx | joejoecircusboy: /dev/sda1 | 09:27 |
| otwr | dexi: no, sorry, I don't have that problem. For me, it's all or nothing | 09:27 |
| joejoecircusboy | knexx: Is that the only disk in the computer? | 09:27 |
| utnubudnai | joejoecircusboy,yeah,you are right!and I 've fixed it ,thank you a lot. | 09:27 |
| knexx | no | 09:28 |
| joejoecircusboy | utnubudnai: no problem :) | 09:28 |
| knexx | sda6 is linux swap | 09:28 |
| knexx | :O | 09:28 |
| tromo | while knexx is formatting...if i wanna drive on ubuntu server that will mainly be accessed by windows machines does it matter whether it is formatted ntfs of ext3? is one preferred? | 09:28 |
| knexx | wuzzat | 09:28 |
| acrousey | alraune: I am on a separate computer | 09:28 |
| joejoecircusboy | knexx: Do you want to erase all disks in your computer? | 09:28 |
| acrousey | working with 2 | 09:28 |
| knexx | eh, windows can't see ext3 without a certain program | 09:28 |
| knexx | joejoecircusboy: no | 09:29 |
| tromo | right, and i have that on the windows machines | 09:29 |
| knexx | well the linux swap is like 570 mb | 09:29 |
| otwr | tromo: nope, doesn't matter | 09:29 |
| knexx | i don't really care about that | 09:29 |
| joejoecircusboy | knexx: Then go with the other method (my way is alot faster, but if you don't know what you're doing it can go bad) | 09:29 |
| tromo | i would prefer to use ntfs for the shares on the ubuntu machine | 09:29 |
| knexx | what other method | 09:29 |
| alraune | CorpseFeeder:don't have that issuse, but googleearth takes lot of pc-power, propietary driver well installed ? (Graphics?) Ram ? | 09:29 |
| joejoecircusboy | knexx: So you want to erase all data on the computer and start fresh? | 09:29 |
| knexx | NO | 09:30 |
| tromo | i just wondered if one was preferred over the other | 09:30 |
| joejoecircusboy | knexx: Go with the other method | 09:30 |
| tromo | thanks | 09:30 |
| otwr | tromo: though I'd be leery of using ntfs on a ubuntu server | 09:30 |
| knexx | i want to get my missing 12gb from this partition | 09:30 |
| knexx | i'm like an angry customer who wants the whole lobster | 09:30 |
| joejoecircusboy | hehe :) | 09:30 |
| alraune | acrousey: see, anyway, did that on the other ? | 09:30 |
| knexx | wait | 09:31 |
| acrousey | yeah | 09:31 |
| knexx | dev/sda5 is 26.9 gb | 09:31 |
| knexx | its the one i was looking for | 09:31 |
| knexx | maybe i should chg it to ps3 | 09:31 |
| knexx | eh | 09:31 |
| knexx | ext3 | 09:31 |
| knexx | or fat32 | 09:31 |
| CorpseFeeder | alraune, there is no proprietary driver for linux for my graphics card. A previous version of google earth (4.2.something) worked then I started getting the funky fonts effect after version 4.3.something... | 09:31 |
| knexx | which is faster? | 09:31 |
| antonellin | ciao | 09:32 |
| antonellin | !list | 09:32 |
| ubottu | Hi! I'm #ubuntu's favorite infobot, you can search my brain yourself at http://tinyurl.com/5zfb6t - Usage info: http://wiki.ubuntu.com/UbuntuBots | 09:32 |
| DozedOnLinux | joejoecircusboy: dont be tempted to post that command (i think you know what i mean) normal methods of erasing and reformatting are sufficient | 09:32 |
| alraune | acrousey: maybe that fixed the prob, otherwise have a look to your /etc/apt/sources.list file, if something is wrong with that..... | 09:32 |
| joejoecircusboy | DozedOnLinux: Yep, already made that decision (see above) :) | 09:32 |
| DozedOnLinux | joejoecircusboy: ok | 09:32 |
| acrousey | ok | 09:32 |
| jjbin | and I am sorry is there own some rooms for kids to the ubuntu and tell me what kinds of shell used in unbuntu although I haven't really know what the shell !! | 09:33 |
| alraune | acrousey: anywa, next time say it before when not sitting on it, as commands can be very long... lol | 09:33 |
| acrousey | sorry | 09:34 |
| spinull1 | i need to know how to get my nm-applet back on the gnome panel | 09:34 |
| otwr | jjbin: technically it's dash, but everybidy calls it bash | 09:34 |
| spinull1 | someone help plz | 09:35 |
| alraune | acrousey: sorry you, mine is fine 8-) | 09:35 |
| otwr | spinull1: yeah, i had that problem, drove me nuts. I just killed and restarted the thing and sometimes it showed... | 09:36 |
| CorpseFeeder | so this http://i7.photobucket.com/albums/y265/BlackDalek/Screenshot-GoogleEarth.png is definitely a video driver issue and not a googleearth configuration or font issue? | 09:36 |
| DistroJockey | spinull1, Right-click a panel, choose Add to panel... then select Network Monitor and click Add | 09:36 |
| spinull1 | no | 09:36 |
| spinull1 | thats different | 09:36 |
| spinull1 | i have that now | 09:36 |
| DistroJockey | spinull1, yep, sorru | 09:36 |
| spinull1 | that doesn't answer my question | 09:37 |
| trupheenix | hi i want to know how i can replicate the packages installed on my old machine to a new machine? | 09:37 |
| jjbin | very thx otwr,that is the user of unbunto can use the dash only,right? | 09:37 |
| chuckles_theSHED | Hello, perhaps someone could assist me with detecting my iPod. I have tried several applications, checked forums - dmesg returns a series of failures and "not ready msgs" | 09:37 |
| otwr | spinull1: I actually made a script, lemme look for it... | 09:37 |
| crdlb | jjbin: the default interactive shell is bash | 09:37 |
| crdlb | jjbin: but when making shell scripts, /bin/sh points to dash, which is a much lighter shell which doesn't support all of bash's scripting features | 09:38 |
| otwr | jjbin: not really, you can use any shell you like but dash is the default. depanding on what you have installed, you can type "bash" or "zsh" or "tcsh" or "fish" and try different shells | 09:38 |
| spinull1 | sh | 09:39 |
| DistroJockey | spinull1, in my Sessions - Startup Programs I have nm-applet --sm-disable as the default Network Manager applet | 09:40 |
| spinull1 | i will try that | 09:40 |
| spinull1 | thanks | 09:40 |
| trupheenix | hi i want to know how i can replicate the Ubuntu packages installed on my old machine to a new machine? | 09:41 |
| otwr | jjbin: the dirty secret of Ubuntu is that bash is symlinked to dash | 09:41 |
| DistroJockey | spinull1, you're welcome | 09:41 |
| trupheenix | ikonia: hi i want to know how i can replicate the packages installed on my old machine to a new machine? | 09:41 |
| crdlb | !clone | trupheenix | 09:41 |
| ubottu | trupheenix: 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 | 09:41 |
| ikonia | trupheenix: pardon ? | 09:41 |
| crdlb | otwr: that's not true | 09:41 |
| trupheenix | ikonia: i got my answer :) thx | 09:42 |
| jjbin | oh thx all I take a lesson and the "apt-get" ,which used for download and intall the aviable softs, is the one common of bash?? | 09:42 |
| otwr | no? I totally had to hack the googleearth installer once because of bashisms | 09:42 |
| ikonia | trupheenix: I didn't even see your question, just a highlight on me | 09:42 |
| crdlb | otwr: /bin/sh is dash | 09:42 |
| knexx | can i ask something | 09:42 |
| crdlb | otwr: when you open a terminal, that terminal is running /bin/bash | 09:42 |
| otwr | crldb: ah, sorry | 09:42 |
| knexx | can a HP three-in-one scanner/printer/photostatter connect to ubuntu | 09:43 |
| alraune | knexx:google ubuntu hardware list... | 09:44 |
| otwr | knexx: probably, but you're better off checking the HCL (hardware compatibility list) for your model. I suspect not all of the functions are supported, but you may be lucky | 09:44 |
| knexx | kthx | 09:45 |
| g0rAngA | my wireless card has stopped connecting with one particular network. The card connects fine to any other network, and other computers can connect fine to this network, and i've made no configuration changes, and no software changes. i'm kinda stuck. can anyone help me out? | 09:45 |
| jjbin | why I couldn't use the "apt-get" to download iriss mentioned before but the "apt-get" is fine yesterday when I install others like Java | 09:45 |
| sdfdf | hello can someone please help me.... i installed k9copy and for some reason it won't rip as an iso file... it just rips it as a folder even if i indicate output as iso /????? | 09:45 |
| MikeSeth | g0rAngA: maybe its a problem with the network? | 09:45 |
| chuckles_theSHED | Can anyone help detect iPod on Hardy? | 09:45 |
| otwr | jjbin: "irssi" | 09:45 |
| g0rAngA | MikeSeth: no, it seems to work fine with any other computer | 09:46 |
| MikeSeth | g0rAngA: so what happens when you try to connect? | 09:46 |
| jjbin | I was sorry I type wrong | 09:46 |
| alraune | jjbin: sudo apt-get install irssi | 09:46 |
| alraune | jjbin: for the odd messenger.. | 09:47 |
| knexx | ok so i reformatted to ext3 | 09:47 |
| knexx | but now i can't use it | 09:47 |
| knexx | ._. | 09:47 |
| joejoecircusboy | chuckles_theSHED: I think you want 'gpod' | 09:48 |
| g0rAngA | MikeSeth: it seems to throw away the encryption key its using just before it authenticates. this causes it to hang for the next few minutes, at which point it'll try again | 09:48 |
| knexx | joejoecircusboy ? | 09:48 |
| otwr | jjbin: though irssi is a command-line IRC client... is there something you're looking for that xchat doesn't do? | 09:48 |
| joejoecircusboy | knexx: eh? | 09:48 |
| MikeSeth | g0rAngA: using wpa_supplicant? | 09:48 |
| knexx | i reformatted the disk to ext, but now i can't put files in it | 09:48 |
| knexx | all i saw is this lost+found folder which i can't delete | 09:48 |
| ikonia | knexx: check the permissions | 09:49 |
| g0rAngA | MikeSeth: in a manner of speaking. NetworkManager invokes it | 09:49 |
| ikonia | knexx: who owns it, who has write permissions ? | 09:49 |
| joejoecircusboy | knexx: Not really sure what you're doing (I think someone else told you to reformat) | 09:49 |
| knexx | could not be determined | 09:49 |
| MikeSeth | g0rAngA: anything in dmesg? modules not loading/missing? | 09:49 |
| ikonia | joejoecircusboy: I suggested he format it | 09:49 |
| ikonia | knexx: have you got the disk mounted ? | 09:50 |
| chuckles_theSHED | joejoecircusboy: i shall try that, will update... | 09:50 |
| ra21vi | i cannot type from numerics pad in my keyboard.. Numlock is on and i tested everything... still no clue why this is happening | 09:50 |
| knexx | how do i mounted disk? | 09:50 |
| SaeidZebardast | I need a program for mouse clicks counter. any one? | 09:50 |
| ra21vi | knexx: man mount , and check there.. be litttle more specific | 09:50 |
| knexx | sorry, been thinking ''how do i shot web'' the whole day | 09:50 |
| knexx | man mount? | 09:50 |
| ikonia | knexx: go into "places -> computer" can you see the disk in there ? | 09:50 |
| knexx | yeah | 09:50 |
| ra21vi | knexx: you can use /etc/fstab for it. | 09:50 |
| chazco | Hi... how can I start Ubuntu normally but without the splash screen? Want to see what is slowing the startup down compared to Windows | 09:51 |
| Offline | Hello guys. How can I download wine program for ubuntu gutsy?? | 09:51 |
| knexx | how can i use fstab | 09:51 |
| SaeidZebardast | I need a program for mouse clicks counter. any one? | 09:51 |
| xnv | Offline: Synaptic | 09:51 |
| ikonia | knexx: ok - so if right click it is there an option that says "mount volume" | 09:51 |
| jjbin | thx Alraune but it doesn't work just like what I did before,else when I type the "apt-get update"it is ok | 09:51 |
| ra21vi | chazco: dont compare to windows.. | 09:51 |
| otwr | knexx: damn, that's exactly what I was thinking, so I didn't want to say anything | 09:51 |
| chazco | ra21vi - Compared to other linuxes then, it really does take ages to boot | 09:51 |
| knexx | can't see it | 09:52 |
| ikonia | chazco: most common cause of a slow boot is dhcp addresses | 09:52 |
| jjbin | it show the updates from the web | 09:52 |
| otwr | chazco: sometimes you luck out and it does an invisible fsck which takes forever | 09:52 |
| ikonia | knexx: you've gone into "places -> computer" and you can see the volume, yes/no? | 09:52 |
| chazco | ikonia - Even when using network manager with wifi (custom modules) | 09:52 |
| ikonia | otwr: no it doesnt | 09:52 |
| ikonia | otwr: it tells you when fsck is being run | 09:52 |
| sdfdf | hello what do you guys use to rip dvds to iso files? | 09:52 |
| DistroJockey | chazco, remove quiet splash from your kernel boot line to see what's going on | 09:52 |
| ikonia | chazco: yup | 09:52 |
| chazco | otwr - Every single time is about the same... doubt its that, although the has a knack for doing it when i dont want | 09:52 |
| knexx | theres a big ! in a triangle beside my hd | 09:53 |
| otwr | bah, onmine it does | 09:53 |
| knexx | ._. | 09:53 |
| ikonia | DistroJockey: it shows it on screen anyway | 09:53 |
| joejoecircusboy | sdfdf: data or video? | 09:53 |
| knexx | at gparted | 09:53 |
| ikonia | knexx: no | 09:53 |
| sdfdf | video | 09:53 |
| g0rAngA | MikeSeth: I've been staring at dmesg and syslog for the past hour. there doesn't seem to be anything suss, except possibly "wmaster0: dropped FromDS&ToDS frame ... " appearing in dmesg from time to time | 09:53 |
| ikonia | knexx: not gparted | 09:53 |
| DistroJockey | ikonia, he asked how, and I gave the answer | 09:53 |
| chazco | DistroJockey - Ah thanks, will have a look. ikonia etc - I've already noticed the clocksource issue, but have added the workround for that | 09:53 |
| ikonia | DistroJockey: I agree, | 09:53 |
| joejoecircusboy | sdfdf: ah, I can't help you there | 09:53 |
| chuckles_theSHED | joejoecircusboy: do you mean gtkpod? i have tried it and other apps. system does not recognize hardware plugged in... | 09:53 |
| SaeidZebardast | I need a program for mouse clicks counter. any | 09:53 |
| DistroJockey | chazco, you're welcome | 09:53 |
| alraune | jjbin: use apt-cache search blabla* to get existing, korrekt paketnames | 09:53 |
| sdfdf | o.O | 09:53 |
| Arnosandres | how can I untar .sql.gz file? tar xvfz file.sql.gz not working. any ideas? :) | 09:54 |
| Jordan_U | Is there a terminal based app for working with network-manager? | 09:54 |
| ikonia | Arnosandres: it's not a tar file | 09:54 |
| knexx | ok so | 09:54 |
| chazco | DistroJockey - Just to be certain - if i edit grub options from grub (not the menu.lst) they dont become permenant? | 09:54 |
| knexx | its mounted | 09:54 |
| ikonia | Arnosandres: it's just gzipped | 09:54 |
| joejoecircusboy | Arnosandres: it's not tarred.. .just gzip -d it | 09:54 |
| DistroJockey | chazco, true | 09:54 |
| Offline | Flannal: can you show me the code of downloading wine in ubuntu?? | 09:54 |
| Arnosandres | thank You! | 09:54 |
| ikonia | knexx: ok, so right click where it is mounted and check the permissions | 09:54 |
| chazco | DistroJockey - Okay, going to reboot and try. Thanks again :) | 09:54 |
| ikonia | knexx: the default permissions will be root:root write only | 09:54 |
| MikeSeth | g0rAngA: try configuring the iface manually in /etc/network/interfaces | 09:54 |
| joejoecircusboy | chuckles_theSHED: Ya, gtkpod... | 09:54 |
| jjbin | otwr:no I just wanna try others irc soft in Ubuntu,thx u | 09:54 |
| greg_ | Hello, is it possible to upgrade a 32bit Ubuntu to 64 bit? Thanks | 09:54 |
| joejoecircusboy | chuckles_theSHED: So you're plugging it in via usb? | 09:55 |
| ikonia | greg_: not really | 09:55 |
| knexx | the permission of ''disk-1'' could not be determined | 09:55 |
| kaper | grep, no | 09:55 |
| MikeSeth | g0rAngA: see also wpa_cli | 09:55 |
| ikonia | knexx: are you doing this is gparted ? | 09:55 |
| MikeSeth | g0rAngA: wpa_cli may tell you something you otherwise wont see | 09:55 |
| knexx | i went to computer | 09:55 |
| ikonia | knexx: great | 09:55 |
| knexx | right clicked it | 09:55 |
| knexx | and pressed properties | 09:55 |
| alraune | greg_: nope, and others ask with right why 64 as 32 is running good | 09:55 |
| knexx | then went to permissions | 09:55 |
| knexx | and it said that | 09:55 |
| kaper | greg_, it's like cd player can't play DVD | 09:56 |
| ikonia | knexx: thats fine | 09:56 |
| babo | i've created a startup script, placed it in /etc/init.d/, tested it and then added it to the runlevel scripts using update-rc.d callhome multiuser | 09:56 |
| ikonia | knexx: if you open nautilus and browse to where it is mounted | 09:56 |
| babo | it doesn't run on startup though ... | 09:56 |
| greg_ | Then how do I copy my 32 bit setup onto a 64 bit install? | 09:56 |
| imaginativeone | I just lost my startup splash background... | 09:56 |
| imaginativeone | how do I get that back? | 09:56 |
| knexx | nautilus? | 09:57 |
| knexx | wait, lemme see if i have it | 09:57 |
| ikonia | knexx: the file manager | 09:57 |
| joejoecircusboy | greg_: Why do you want 64 bit? | 09:57 |
| chuckles_theSHED | joejoecircusboy: yes, indeed. i run dmesg - "failed" and "not ready" msgs... | 09:57 |
| g0rAngA | MikeSeth: its been a while since i've configured a wireless card this way, it may take some time... | 09:57 |
| alraune | greg_: 32 still got more apps, 64 is only slighty faster in special cases, e.g. compiling, boinc and so on, often 32b is run for compatibilty on that, anyway | 09:57 |
| joesus | so, in the middle of update-manager upgrading from 7.10 to 8.04, i ctrl + alt + backspaced and killed the updater while it was doing its thing | 09:57 |
| joejoecircusboy | chuckles_theSHED: I hate saying this: But, try rebooting? (sometimes the usb ports get into a funk and do that) | 09:58 |
| knexx | how do i find this mystical file manager | 09:58 |
| greg_ | So I have to install 64 bit and spend time setting it all up again? | 09:58 |
| knexx | the one called nautilus | 09:58 |
| greg_ | Can I copy all my 32 bit data to 64 bit install, ie documents, vids, etc | 09:58 |
| ikonia | knexx: have you read anything about ubuntu before installing | 09:58 |
| joesus | i've run a few commands from the command line that should have reinstalled a lot of the core modules and packages, but, how can i be sure that i've redone everything i needed to do? | 09:58 |
| alraune | greg_: give 64 a try when a fresh install has to be anyway, do'nt bork a 32 system | 09:58 |
| ikonia | greg_: documents/videos yes, application/programs no | 09:58 |
| joejoecircusboy | ikonia: lol | 09:58 |
| knexx | not really | 09:58 |
| Jordan_U | joesus: Try running update-manager again, if that does not work run "sudo dpkg --configure -a" | 09:58 |
| otwr | joesus, try a bunch of "apt-get -f install"s | 09:59 |
| knexx | figured i should learn while having it installed | 09:59 |
| ikonia | knexx: I suggest you do read the basics at http://start.ubuntu.com/8.04/ | 09:59 |
| knexx | <_< | 09:59 |
| * knexx reads | 09:59 | |
| joejoecircusboy | knexx: ubuntuguide.org << This is good too | 09:59 |
| knexx | yeah i have read that guide | 09:59 |
| kaper | ikonia, i might be wrong but i think app run on 32 bit should be run on 64 | 09:59 |
| Jordan_U | joesus: Wait, had it actually gotten past downloading all of the packages yet? | 09:59 |
| knexx | a bit of it | 09:59 |
| ikonia | knexx: learn while installed, sure, but your not at a level where you can even use the file manager yet which makes it hard to work through issues with you | 09:59 |
| ikonia | kaper: your wrong | 10:00 |
| knexx | where can i open the file manager | 10:00 |
| ikonia | kaper: ubuntu is not multi-lib, 32bit applications have to be specially built | 10:00 |
| ikonia | knexx: read the docs | 10:00 |
| joesus | Jordan_U: yeah, it finished downloading, and was in the middle of installing with like (approximately) 20 minutes left | 10:00 |
| chazco | ikonia / DistroJockey - The only thing it seems to wait on is "intel_rng: FWH not detected"... everything else is about how i'd expect it | 10:00 |
| ikonia | knexx: just to get the basics | 10:00 |
| joejoecircusboy | greg_: Unless you have more than 3 GB of RAM, I'd stick with your current install... Go to 64bit when you need to reinstall for some other reason | 10:00 |
| knexx | which part of it | 10:00 |
| knexx | >_< | 10:00 |
| chuckles_theSHED | joejoecircusboy: i shall try it. i guess that should have been one of my attempts... thanx. brb. | 10:00 |
| ikonia | knexx: all of it | 10:00 |
| ikonia | knexx: read the table of contents | 10:00 |
| knexx | damnit | 10:01 |
| imaginativeone | how do I extract a *.gz file in the terminal? | 10:01 |
| joesus | Jordan_U: and, i ran dpkg, apt-get update & apt-get upgrade (these are shortened) from the command line then rebooted | 10:01 |
| knexx | i really just want to get this hd working | 10:01 |
| knexx | thats all | 10:01 |
| chazco | Anyone here know if/when the clocksource bug will be fixed btw? | 10:01 |
| otwr | imaginativeone: gunzip | 10:01 |
| ikonia | knexx: I just want you to be able to use the distro | 10:01 |
| greg_ | is Linux 64 bit supported with software? | 10:01 |
| greg_ | Are there 64 bit versions of Thunderbird, Firefox, K3B, etc? | 10:01 |
| ikonia | greg_: sure are | 10:01 |
| ikonia | greg_: not all software is 64 bit native or ported | 10:02 |
| joejoecircusboy | greg_: Too big omissions are: 64bit flash, and 64bit Java plugin | 10:02 |
| knexx | i know | 10:02 |
| joejoecircusboy | *two | 10:02 |
| Jordan_U | joesus: Are you having any problems? | 10:02 |
| knexx | but not now | 10:02 |
| knexx | i really have a big headache | 10:02 |
| ikonia | knexx: ok, then, come back when you've read the basics then | 10:02 |
| knexx | i have a really big headache | 10:02 |
| ikonia | knexx: you don't have to do it now | 10:02 |
| knexx | can't even do sentences correctly | 10:02 |
| ikonia | knexx: people are in this channel all day | 10:02 |
| knexx | i know, but its like, if i don't do it now | 10:02 |
| knexx | i won't be able to sleep | 10:03 |
| tct13 | hello again, i solved my problem with flash in firefox3.0.1 | 10:03 |
| ikonia | knexx: I suggest you try to sleep | 10:03 |
| alraune | lol 24/7 koffeine.. lol | 10:03 |
| otwr | knexx SMASH!! | 10:03 |
| Jordan_U | greg_: Almost all open source apps have 64 bit versions | 10:03 |
| DistroJockey | chazco, this is the best link I could find: http://www.linuxquestions.org/questions/linux-hardware-18/intelrng-fwh-not-detected-546360/ | 10:03 |
| joejoecircusboy | (05:03:05 AM) knexx: i won't be able to sleep << Damn, and I thought I lost sleep over trivial problems ;) | 10:03 |
| joesus | Jordan_U: i was having quite a few before i did the appropriate commands, but, i guess i'm just looking for a quick way to see if it actually upgraded since grub's entry wasn't updated to show 8.04 instead of 7.10 | 10:03 |
| mrtimdog | ikonia: Regarding "ubuntu is not multi-lib, 32bit applications have to be specially built", see package ia32-libs. | 10:03 |
| pen | how do I update eclipse platform from update manager? | 10:03 |
| ikonia | mrtimdog: what about them ? | 10:03 |
| xnv | Jordan_U: Wrong | 10:03 |
| ikonia | mrtimdog: I'm well aware of the 32bit library package, but ubuntu is not multi-lib, and the 32bit programs have to be specially setup to use those libraries rather than generic 32bit install | 10:04 |
| chazco | DistroJockey - Yep, read that... doesnt seem to offer much useful advice though really | 10:04 |
| DistroJockey | chazco, so I guess blacklisting it is the way to go | 10:04 |
| DistroJockey | chazco, no it doesn't :( | 10:04 |
| tct13 | DozedOnLinux: alraune: i removed all flashplugin..so and libflash...so from mozilla and firefox directories (ifound them with find / -name "*flashplugin*", etc.) | 10:04 |
| Jordan_U | xnv: Really? Name 3 popular open source projects that don't support 64 bit | 10:05 |
| chazco | DistroJockey - Blacklisting would be a good idea... if i could see the module anywhere | 10:05 |
| tct13 | and when i restarted there was neither r100 r124 installed anymore | 10:05 |
| joejoecircusboy | Jordan_U: OpenJDK :D | 10:05 |
| DistroJockey | chazco, yeah, no idea what it is called sorry | 10:05 |
| chatzilla | Who can create apt repository? | 10:05 |
| xnv | Jordan_U: Not that I can't, but you said "almost all" not "almost all popular". | 10:05 |
| mrtimdog | ikonia: Sorry, maybe I missed your point, np :) | 10:05 |
| DistroJockey | chazco, it's probably in the kernel anyway | 10:05 |
| chazco | DistroJockey - According to launchpad... its built in the Ubuntu kernel itself... | 10:05 |

| tct13 | i downloaded r124 from adobe.com, closed the browser and now it's all okay | 10:06 |
| DistroJockey | chazco, :) | 10:06 |
| hampsterblade | ;aksdjf;askdfj;askdfjaierj | 10:06 |
| joejoecircusboy | Jordan_U: I'm just buggin.. I actually agree with your statement | 10:06 |

| ikonia | knexx: you've been away for about 2 minutes | 10:12 |
| LSD|Ninja | afaik, there's nothng stopping PPPoE working over wireless other than the lack of equipment supporting it being used that way | 10:12 |
| ikonia | knexx: that document takes longer than 2 minutes to read | 10:12 |

| ikonia | knexx: you can't have done, you've had that document for 2 minutes, it will take much longer | 10:13 |

| DistroJockey | db92, when I sudo apt-get install -s linux-source-2.6.24 I get : Inst linux-source-2.6.24 (2.6.24-19.36 Ubuntu:8.04/hardy-security) | 10:26 |
| ra21vi | otwr: yup X | 10:26 |
| === Kardoso is now known as Kardoso_away | ||
| Captain_Redbeard | joejoecircusboy: nah... i've rewritten it myself as well as having dhclient create a new one for me :P | 10:26 |
| ikonia | Captain_Redbeard: can you pastebin /etc/nsswitch.conf please. | 10:26 |
| alraune | db92: if you install a kernel further the one in repos, you might miss modules or headers stored in the repos | 10:26 |
| db92 | DistroJockey, :||| i dunno what im doing wrong then :p | 10:26 |
| ra21vi | otwr: what is the GUI tool to reconfigure the keyboard ?? | 10:27 |
| wols_ | db92: apt-cache policy linux-source-2.6.24 | 10:27 |
| ActionParsnip | !keyboard | 10:27 |
| ubottu | To switch your keyboard layout on GNOME: System -> Preferences -> Keyboard (GNOME) - KDE: K -> System Settings -> Regional & Language -> Keyboard Layout (KDE) - Xfce: see https://help.ubuntu.com/6.10/xubuntu/desktopguide/C/switch-keyboard-layout.html - See also !Shortcuts | 10:27 |
| Captain_Redbeard | ikonia: let me find the ip first :P | 10:27 |
| otwr | ra21vi: I guess you are using Gnome... which I am not... but there should be something in the settings about keyboard which should have a lot of options you can try | 10:27 |
| ikonia | Captain_Redbeard: of course, sorry | 10:27 |
| === Kardoso_away is now known as Kardoso | ||
| Kardoso | Hi | 10:27 |
| DistroJockey | db92, me either :( But that's default with 8.04.1 from standard repos via a mirror | 10:28 |
| ra21vi | otwr: hmm, let me check it, thanks.. but since numpad is not working, i think this wont resolve it... anyway .. | 10:28 |
| wols_ | db92: pastebin the apt-cache output please | 10:28 |
| Captain_Redbeard | ikonia: bah or links over ssh for the win :P gimme a sec | 10:28 |
| db92 | sec doing | 10:28 |
| ikonia | Captain_Redbeard: no problem | 10:28 |
| joejoecircusboy | Captain_Redbeard: Can you pastebin your resolv.conf ? | 10:29 |
| db92 | :|| ....... | 10:29 |
| exhoho | can i talk | 10:29 |
| db92 | http://pastebin.com/m1c55cf03 | 10:29 |
| otwr | exhoho: just talk | 10:30 |
| DistroJockey | db92, same version as me. What command did you run for that output? | 10:30 |
| db92 | apt-cache polcy linux-source-2.6.24 :P | 10:31 |
| db92 | policy* | 10:31 |
| db92 | but still after compiling, it says its 2.6.24-3 :||| | 10:31 |
| wols_ | db92: pastebin? | 10:31 |
| db92 | even in the menu config it says its 2.6.24-3 :|| | 10:31 |
| Kardoso | I readed about a Linux rootkit on Symantec site: ( http://www.symantec.com/en/uk/business/security_response/writeup.jsp?docid=2008-080515-2257-99 ) Has Ubuntu a secure kernel or that virus can attack Ubuntu? | 10:31 |
| exhoho | i got some problem on ubuntu server 8.04 when i compile php5.26 | 10:32 |
| exhoho | after #./configure | 10:32 |
| exhoho | i make | 10:32 |
| exhoho | then make test | 10:32 |
| db92 | wols_, of the apt-cache? | 10:32 |
| DistroJockey | db92, :( | 10:32 |
| db92 | wols_, or whatever? :p | 10:32 |
| Dexikiix | crap | 10:32 |
| Dexikiix | I broke my sound | 10:32 |
| Dexikiix | audiotestsrc wave=sine freq=512 ! audioconvert ! audioresample ! gconfaudiosink: Could not open audio device for playback. | 10:32 |
| wols_ | Kardoso: that is no virus | 10:32 |
| Captain_Redbeard | ikonia: ok nsswitch: pastebin.com/m7ab46a56 | 10:33 |
| db92 | Dexikiix, iirc thats the error one gets when it looks as if he has no driver installed :P | 10:33 |
| Kardoso | wols_: So is Ubuntu's kernel secure? | 10:33 |
| otwr | exhoho: any reason you want 5.26? | 10:33 |
| ikonia | Captain_Redbeard: thats quite an interesting setup, but shouldn't be casuing you the issues you are having | 10:33 |
| Dexikiix | db92 i was trying to follow a fix to get sound working in flash on firefox and it made some pulseaudio changed... tried to revert but was apparently unsuccessful | 10:33 |
| exhoho | i just need to construct a server | 10:33 |
| joejoecircusboy | Captain_Redbeard: try this 'ping www.google.com.' < notice dot at the end | 10:34 |
| otwr | man, never even look at pulseaudio... it'll cut you man | 10:34 |
| Dexikiix | lol | 10:34 |
| Dexikiix | well apparently so | 10:34 |
| Kardoso | wols_: So is Ubuntu's kernel secure? | 10:34 |
| exhoho | #make test always make some little mistake right? | 10:34 |
| Kardoso | !ask > FloodBot3 | 10:35 |
| ubottu | FloodBot3, please see my private message | 10:35 |
| Captain_Redbeard | joejoecircusboy: no luck | 10:35 |
| Captain_Redbeard | ikonia: Yea :) | 10:35 |
| exhoho | this room is just a little too chaos | 10:35 |
| otwr | as secure as the Canonical organization can make it | 10:35 |
| joejoecircusboy | Captain_Redbeard: Can you pastebin your resolv.conf? | 10:35 |
| brubelsabs | is there a tool like `time` to watch the memory consumption? | 10:36 |
| wols_ | brubelsabs: free | 10:36 |
| joejoecircusboy | brubelsabs: 'free' or 'top' | 10:36 |
| Captain_Redbeard | joejoecircusboy: pastebin.com/m9578a5 | 10:36 |
| wols_ | but checking memory consumption is a fools errand | 10:36 |
| Kardoso | Is there any TaskManager in Ubuntu like in Windows? | 10:36 |
| DistroJockey | db92, how about the following? (not sure if it will help, and may want a second opinion): sudo apt-get install --reinstall linux-source-2.6.24 | 10:36 |
| otwr | htop is nice if you want realtime stats | 10:36 |
| wols_ | Kardoso: top | 10:36 |
| ikonia | Captain_Redbeard: I can offer you a test, put one of google.com's ip addresses in /etc/hosts with www.google.com as a host, then hit http://www.google.com in a browser, lets see if it likes hard coded resolution | 10:36 |
| wols_ | db92: I am still waiting for the paste | 10:36 |
| TemplePrime | does ubuntu 8.04 x64 support more than 4 gigs of ram? | 10:36 |
| Captain_Redbeard | ikonia: sure :) one se | 10:37 |
| ikonia | TemplePrime: ye | 10:37 |
| Captain_Redbeard | c | 10:37 |
| ikonia | yes | 10:37 |
| Dexikiix | wols do you happen to have a fix for my issue? | 10:37 |
| Kardoso | wols_: what? | 10:37 |
| oro | hi | 10:37 |
| exhoho | any concentration | 10:37 |
| wols_ | Kardoso: I don't talk to you anymore | 10:37 |
| brubelsabs | wols_: free can do that per process? | 10:37 |
| oro | kill | 10:37 |
| oro | this | 10:37 |
| oro | #kill | 10:37 |
| Kardoso | wols_ Why? :S | 10:37 |
| db92 | wols_, of what ffs? | 10:37 |
| TemplePrime | ikonia: support is one, but take advantage in game development and blender is another ... | 10:37 |
| db92 | wols_, the last paste you asked for i gave :||| | 10:37 |
| ikonia | TemplePrime: what ? | 10:37 |
| Kardoso | wols_: what did I do? | 10:37 |
| wols_ | brubelsabs: no. but per process checking is useless on a shared memory system with virtual memory | 10:37 |
| Dexikiix | wait, is there some type of rollback I can do? | 10:37 |
| TemplePrime | ikonia, ok, so it benefits from more than 4 gigs of ram? | 10:37 |
| ikonia | TemplePrime: did you mean to say that to me ? | 10:37 |
| wols_ | Kardoso: if I tell you I get a !language or worse | 10:37 |
| db92 | DistroJockey, still insists its 2.6.24-3 :P | 10:38 |
| wols_ | Kardoso: now please don't talk to me again | 10:38 |
| TemplePrime | ikonia: yes | 10:38 |
| DistroJockey | db92, :( | 10:38 |
| Captain_Redbeard | ikonia: works yea | 10:38 |
| db92 | DistroJockey, perhaps its just some kind of forgotten menu entry or name and that the actual kernel is -19 | 10:38 |
| ikonia | TemplePrime: it benifits from more than 4 gig in general use, and it will use as much as your application allows | 10:38 |
| db92 | i dunno anyway :||| | 10:38 |
| ikonia | Captain_Redbeard: ok - thats interesting then so the problem is actual resolution | 10:38 |
| brubelsabs | wols_: in top I see the memory consumption of each process, but I want to see that still when the process has finished and is not available in top anymore | 10:38 |
| TemplePrime | ikonia: what is the max ram limit? how much can I throw at him? | 10:38 |
| DistroJockey | db92, well uname -a will give current running kernel | 10:38 |
| ikonia | TemplePrime: out of the box I think it supports either 32 or 64 gig | 10:38 |
| TemplePrime | ikonia, thanks, so 8 gigs works fine | 10:39 |
| db92 | DistroJockey, the running kernel is -19 :||| | 10:39 |
| Captain_Redbeard | ikonia: yup... can't see why though | 10:39 |
| joejoecircusboy | Captain_Redbeard: Bit of a long shot: Try removing everything from your resolv.conf except one DNS server | 10:39 |
| otwr | brubelsabs: try htop | 10:39 |
| db92 | DistroJockey, the sources that get downloaded aint -19 :P | 10:39 |
| DistroJockey | db92, but if --reinstall don't do it, maybe the next step is a remove --purge | 10:39 |
| ikonia | Captain_Redbeard: ok, lets go back to basics, can we change youre nsswitch.conf file, the line that says hosts: change to hosts: files dns | 10:39 |
| _3muk | Q: can you install Windows XP after you've installed Ubuntu? | 10:39 |
| ikonia | Captain_Redbeard: just that | 10:39 |
| db92 | DistroJockey, no matter anymore | 10:39 |
| wols_ | brubelsabs: you don't see it | 10:39 |
| db92 | DistroJockey, ill just backroll if this is what is necessary :|| | 10:40 |
| Captain_Redbeard | joejoecircusboy: nope :( no luck | 10:40 |
| Captain_Redbeard | ikonia: ok one sec | 10:40 |
| wols_ | !pm | Kardoso | 10:40 |
| brubelsabs | wols_: there is a column indicating the percentage of memory usage | 10:40 |
| ubottu | Kardoso: Please ask your questions in the channel so that other people can also benefit AND help you. Please don't PM a user in the channel without asking first, some find it rude. | 10:40 |
| joejoecircusboy | Captain_Redbeard: With that same resolv.conf, does dig still work? | 10:40 |
| otwr | _3muk: that's about the only way you can dual-boot | 10:40 |
| alraune | _3muk:you can, but then must reinstall grub | 10:40 |
| wols_ | brubelsabs: of course there is. doesn't mean it's accurate. where do you count libc6? it is part of EVERY process | 10:40 |
| brubelsabs | otwr: with htop I can't see finished process either? | 10:40 |
| ikonia | Captain_Redbeard: when I say just that, I mean just that for the host file, leave the other lines in place | 10:41 |
| DistroJockey | db92, fair enough. I like to try and fix, but sometimes it's easier/better/cleaner to start again/from a rollback :) | 10:41 |
| _3muk | then is it better to first install XP and then Ubuntu? | 10:41 |
| ikonia | Captain_Redbeard: sorry, I should have been clearer | 10:41 |
| brubelsabs | wols_: for my purposes I would include libc6 in the process memory usage | 10:41 |
| Captain_Redbeard | joejoecircusboy: yup | 10:41 |
| alraune | _3muk:yup | 10:41 |
| otwr | brubelsabs: ah, well you can see it end... i don't know of anything that tracks finished processes, sorry | 10:41 |
| exhoho | 有人说中文吗？ | 10:41 |
| Guilo | hi ! | 10:41 |
| _3muk | ok tnx :) | 10:41 |
| Guilo | any ati users here ? | 10:41 |
| ikonia | !jp | exhoho | 10:41 |
| ubottu | exhoho: 日本語の場合は #ubuntu-jp または #kubuntu-jp を参照して下さい | 10:41 |
| wols_ | finished processes can't be tracked since they are GONE and the memory freed | 10:41 |
| DistroJockey | db92, you don't learn much from doing rollbacks though :) | 10:41 |
| Captain_Redbeard | ikonia: still out of luck | 10:42 |
| db92 | DistroJockey, no actually | 10:42 |
| alraune | !recoveringgrub>_3muk: | 10:42 |
| db92 | DistroJockey, i already did what i needed with the sources but THEN i noticed that it was 2.6.24-3 | 10:42 |
| ikonia | Captain_Redbeard: really, so even with the linst hosts: files dns in nsswitch.conf it doesn't want to play | 10:42 |
| Guilo | how can i make xorg.conf for ati automatically ? | 10:42 |
| exhoho | no that is chinese | 10:42 |
| db92 | DistroJockey, so i already have my custom kernel with 2.6.24-3, thats what i mean rollback :P | 10:42 |
| alraune | Guilo: yup | 10:42 |
| Captain_Redbeard | ikonia: nope | 10:42 |

| ikonia | Captain_Redbeard: thats quite frustrating, let me work it through a little more | 10:42 |
| joejoecircusboy | That's the oddest thing | 10:42 |
| niuX | exhoho:干什么阿？ | 10:43 |
| alraune | !recoveringgrub >_3muk: | 10:43 |
| joejoecircusboy | Captain_Redbeard: Have you using tcpdump before? | 10:43 |
| db92 | exhoho, from what i saw from the phrase above, i think i saw ren and zhong wen? :p obviously was asking if anyone spoke chinese? | 10:43 |
| joejoecircusboy | *used | 10:43 |
| DistroJockey | db92, ohh, well, I'm starting to get lost ;) Good luck :) | 10:43 |
| db92 | DistroJockey, rooofl | 10:43 |
| Captain_Redbeard | ikonia: I know :D That's why i'm here asking ;) Worst part is that I'm supposed to be a sysadmin | 10:43 |
| Captain_Redbeard | joejoecircusboy: yup | 10:43 |
| Guilo | alraune : how can i write xorg.conf automatically ? cause aticonfig --initial tells me i haven't got xorg.conf (cause i have deleted it) | 10:43 |
| joejoecircusboy | Captain_Redbeard: Are DNS requests going out when you run ping? | 10:43 |
| exhoho | i speak chinsee | 10:43 |
| Captain_Redbeard | Haven't looked actually... but let's try gimme a sec | 10:44 |
| alraune | Guilo: i can give u a standard one, then modify that... what an ati-card ? | 10:44 |
| otwr | Guilo: which ATI card do you have? somebody may have a usable xorg.conf | 10:44 |
| Dexikiix | ok i fixed it :) | 10:44 |
| Dexikiix | now i get sound | 10:44 |
| exhoho | may be i shall go somewhereelse | 10:44 |
| Dexikiix | but still not in flash | 10:44 |
| Dexikiix | nobody here has a fix for the flash sound prob? | 10:44 |
| exhoho | is this chatroot suppot voice ,that might be too chaos | 10:45 |
| alraune | Guilo: sudo apt-get install displayconfig-gtk | 10:45 |
| Captain_Redbeard | wtf... | 10:45 |
| joejoecircusboy | exhoho: Ya, this wouldn't work as a voice forum | 10:45 |
| Captain_Redbeard | now ping magically works... nothign else though | 10:46 |
| joejoecircusboy | Captain_Redbeard: What do you see? | 10:46 |

| wols_ | Dexikiix: run the browser in a xterm. then check messages in the xterm | 10:48 |
| Dexikiix | what is xterm? | 10:48 |

| nooga | hi, i've got ubuntu on the last partition on my hdd and it does not want to boot, what to do in order to boot it? | 10:49 |
| Dexikiix | ok step-by-step? | 10:49 |
| Kardoso | Please someone help me. Where can I find any task managers? | 10:49 |
| m08 | I have ubuntu hardy heron and installed dvb-utils via synaptic package manager, but when I open a terminal and try to run some of the commands, I get a command not found error | 10:49 |
| Captain_Redbeard | joejoecircusboy: ok this is the weirdest sh*t ever... the second I started listening on the traffic everything jumped in to working :O | 10:49 |
| Captain_Redbeard | joejoecircusboy: I honestly did nothing else | 10:49 |
| jburd | Ah. They've just moved the .Trash directory. | 10:49 |
| joejoecircusboy | wow | 10:49 |

| joejoecircusboy | If you're not listening, does it still work? | 10:50 |
| edmoore | hi - building a pc for the first time, lots of fun. Running ubuntu server, though will probably put some flavour of x on it for accassional gui-ing | 10:50 |
| Dexikiix | DistroJockey: or wols_ what do i type in terminal for what you want me to do? | 10:50 |
| jburd | m08: Which commands? | 10:50 |
| Captain_Redbeard | joejoecircusboy: yup... only thing I can think of is cacheing timeing out or something | 10:50 |
| DistroJockey | Dexikiix, hold alt and hit F2 then type gnome-terminal | 10:50 |
| edmoore | is there a way of seeing my mobo stats? | 10:50 |
| m08 | jburd, dbscan for starters | 10:50 |
| zvacet | Kardoso : system>admin<system monitor | 10:50 |
| m08 | I meant dvbscan | 10:50 |
| joejoecircusboy | Captain_Redbeard: Well, I think that takes the cake for 'weirdest shit of the day' | 10:50 |
| Dexikiix | oh | 10:50 |
| otwr | jburd: it hides in ~/.local/Trash and you might have to do a sudo rm * | 10:50 |
| edmoore | zvacet: is that at me? | 10:50 |
| Captain_Redbeard | joejoecircusboy: totally... no clue what to say mate | 10:50 |
| borashid | ac | 10:50 |
| Captain_Redbeard | joejoecircusboy: Thanks alot for your help though... | 10:51 |
| jburd | m08: Well, you need to install those tools first. | 10:51 |
| Captain_Redbeard | ikonia: and your help as well thanks! | 10:51 |
| Dexikiix | DistroJockey: ok so i have a terminal open. :P | 10:51 |
| jburd | otwr: Yeah. | 10:51 |
| joejoecircusboy | Captain_Redbeard: Ya, not a problem | 10:51 |
| Captain_Redbeard | joejoecircusboy: my setup is exactly the same as when we started... geez I hate when stuff like this happen | 10:51 |
| DistroJockey | Dexikiix, cool, that's my job done ;) | 10:51 |
| jburd | otwr: ~/.local/share/Trash/ | 10:51 |
| Dexikiix | lol DistroJockey i coulda opened the terminal otherwise | 10:51 |
| zvacet | edmoore : sorry I don´t understand | 10:52 |
| m08 | jburd, I opened synaptic package manager and checked dvb-utils and did an install that way | 10:52 |
| Dexikiix | can you tell me how to run firefox from there? | 10:52 |
| m08 | Is that correct ? | 10:52 |
| Captain_Redbeard | joejoecircusboy: this will totally keep me from sleeping tonight | 10:52 |
| jburd | m08: Yes | 10:52 |
| DistroJockey | Dexikiix, heh, sorry, I forgot your other question/issue :) | 10:52 |
| edmoore | was system monitor an answer to my question about monitoring the mobo stuff - fan speeds and temps etc | 10:52 |
| m08 | and it still doesn't work | 10:52 |
| otwr | jburd: maybe you're different, I am a freaky xubuntu guy (at keast on this machine) | 10:52 |
| m08 | Does that install need a reboot or something ? | 10:52 |
| alraune | Dexikiix: firefox | 10:52 |
| zvacet | edmoore : no it was for Kardoso | 10:52 |
| Dexikiix | DistroJockey: firefox flash (youtube..etc) has no sound... wols said to run in terminal and see what terminal says | 10:52 |
| joejoecircusboy | Captain_Redbeard: Ah, don't sweat it... It'll break again and you get to the bottom of it :P | 10:52 |
| edmoore | ok nvm | 10:53 |

| m08 | anyone know how to properly install dvb-utils ? | 11:00 |

| m08 | or can someone point me to the dvb room ? | 11:01 |
| Dexikiix | DistroJockey: Pavucontrol sees the stream | 11:01 |

| m08 | I am a first time ubuntu user and woefully lost trying to set up my tv tuner card and use mythtv | 11:02 |
| wols_ | !lamp | pen | 11:02 |
| ubottu | pen: LAMP is an acronym for Linux-Apache-MySQL-PHP. However, the term is often used for setups using alternative but different software, such as Perl or Python instead of PHP, and Postgres instead of MySQL. For help with setting up LAMP on Ubuntu, see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/ApacheMySQLPHP - See also the Server CD installation process (different in Edgy+) | 11:02 |
| otwr | pen: apt-get install php5 | 11:02 |
| DistroJockey | Dexikiix, see the Hint at the bottom | 11:02 |

| Dexikiix | and to think that was all I had to do, and I was out there delete pulseaudio files earlier | 11:03 |

| Pirate_Hunter | hi everyone | 12:15 |
| JannoTT | Is there a way to make gamepad a second mouse? Like move cursor and do left and right clicks and stuff. | 12:17 |
| brutus | crdlb: umm..i'm using a local repository which doesnt have this package...so i downloaded the rpm from packages.ubuntu.. | 12:17 |
| crdlb | brutus: eh, then you probably got the wrong version | 12:18 |
| brutus | crdlb: sorry, deb | 12:18 |
| crdlb | brutus: I'm a bit confused; you're using a mirror? | 12:19 |
| homy | hi, i'm trying to wake on lan a pc. The problem is, that pc is the dhcp server which gives me my ip address. If a was connected to computer, it is then turned off, I can wake it with "wakeonlan mac-address". But if I was not connected to that computer (i.e. I have no ip address), "wakeonlan" says the network is unreachable. "etherwake mac-address" works, but it has to be run as root. Can I turn on that dhcp server by wakeonlan without usi | 12:19 |
| DozedOnLinux | homy: you dont use the motherboard's option to wake on lan ? | 12:20 |
| homy | DozedOnLinux: what do you mean exactly? wakeonlan does work if the computer that issues "wakeonlan mac" already has an ip address. | 12:21 |
| NickieFerrante | Anyone care to lend me a hand getting rid of windows? | 12:21 |

| homy | which mainbords? | 12:21 |
| otwr | oh damn | 12:21 |
| brutus | crdlb: yes i used a mirror to get the nvidia-glx-new...n not my local rep cause its not updated n doesnt have this package | 12:21 |
| [z]neo | is there a gui free rar extractor? | 12:22 |
| mrsimon | Hi, I have a Zepto laptop and the touchpad is not recognozed properly, it's found as a logitech wheel mouse. is there a way to fix this? | 12:22 |
| crdlb | brutus: you can add multiple mirrors to your sources.list | 12:22 |
| otwr | [z]neo: yeah, unrar | 12:22 |
| crdlb | brutus: but it sounds like you just didn't add 'restricted' to the source line | 12:22 |
| itamar_ | hi..got a question is there a .bash_profile dir? | 12:23 |
| mrglinux | i have asus aam6000ug usb modem for adsl in windows i connect to internet with create bridge ( not pppoe) how to connect to linux same? means http://i36.tinypic.com/nw0dmr.jpg http://i36.tinypic.com/nw0dmr.jpg | 12:23 |
| [z]neo | otwr: i just installed unrar but it uses terminal window not gui | 12:23 |
| brutus | crdlb: yes, right now in my sources.list i have just two lines..for my local reps...thats all (deb and deb-src) | 12:24 |
| mrglinux | http://i36.tinypic.com/14uet1g.jpg | 12:24 |
| Guilo | hi all ! | 12:24 |
| crdlb | brutus: do you have restricted on that 'deb' line? | 12:24 |
| Guilo | i have an ati card and driver installed | 12:24 |
| otwr | [z]neo, sorry I thought you meant "gui-free" :) I think most of the file managers handle rars now | 12:24 |
| DistroJockey | NickieFerrante, there are many answers to that question, care to elaborate a bit? | 12:24 |
| Guilo | but although vsync is activated, my videos are tearing | 12:24 |
| brutus | crdlb: no | 12:24 |
| Kartagis | are there any tools for ubuntu that lets me change my keyboard layout instantly? | 12:25 |
| Kartagis | graphical toold | 12:25 |
| Kartagis | tools | 12:25 |
| crdlb | brutus: that would be the problem; the nvidia driver packages are in the restricted component because they are non-free | 12:25 |
| NickieFerrante | I installed ubuntu 8.04 on a partition along with windows, and am now looking to convert the whole laptop to pure ubuntu; any idea how to delete the windows partition? | 12:25 |
| brutus | crdlb: yes but i did download linux-restriced-modules-2.6.22-14-generic | 12:25 |
| brutus | crdlb:from the packages.ubuntu site | 12:25 |
| mrsimon | NickieFerrante: gparted | 12:26 |
| brutus | crdlb:shouldnt that suffice? | 12:26 |
| otwr | Kartagis: yes, look for something like "keyboard layout switcher" in the panel apps | 12:26 |
| crdlb | brutus: that's a really bad idea; it defeats the purpose of the whole system | 12:26 |
| lantius | Hello, I would like to know how fast is going a copy through my network, a samba share, how can i know what speed is it going ? I don't know if I explained it well, it's difficult | 12:26 |
| crdlb | brutus: you're supposed to install 'linux-generic', which will ensure that you always have the latest version of the linux-restricted-modules | 12:26 |
| NickieFerrante | mrsimon: thanks a lot :) | 12:26 |
| mrsimon | NickieFerrante: np :) | 12:27 |
| DistroJockey | NickieFerrante, if you mean you used WUBI, then you should get a live cd or alternate cd and start a fresh install | 12:27 |
| Flynsarmy | I tried both movie player and shockwave flash in firefox but neither have sound for flash videos. ideas? | 12:27 |
| brutus | crdlb: hmm...so should i remove linux-restricted and install linux-generic? | 12:28 |
| crdlb | brutus: no, linux-generic depends on linux-restricted-modules-generic | 12:28 |
| homy | DozedOnLinux: the problem is wakeonlan can't send the magic packet if I don't have any ip address yet. | 12:29 |
| crdlb | brutus: just add restricted in your sources.list, then: sudo apt-get update && sudo apt-get install nvidia-glx-new linux-generic | 12:29 |
| DistroJockey | Flynsarmy, install pavucontrol and run it (see the Hint at the bottom of that program's window) | 12:29 |
| homy | Is there another tool that doesn't need sudo (like "etherwake") but can send the magic packet anyway? | 12:29 |
| Flynsarmy | DistroJockey, I'm not sure if it's a pulseaudio problem. i used to have trouble with PA on my desktop and when sounds weren't working in firefox they weren'tworking for anything else either. This time its just flash in firefox thats the problem | 12:30 |
| DozedOnLinux | homy: yes the magic packet, i suppose that would depend on if you had a router in-line that was always connected and had IP on LAN | 12:31 |
| brutus | crdlb:you mean deb [rep-address] gutsy main universe multiverse restricted ? | 12:31 |
| DistroJockey | Flynsarmy, fair enough. I suggested above to someone else this eve and it fixed the issue (worth a try) :) | 12:31 |
| JannoTT | Is there a some kind a search command in terminal? I need to find joy2key install folder becouse it looks for my joystick in wrong place and thunar does not have very effective search function. | 12:31 |
| DRebellion | homy, you could always add an exception to /etc/sudoers that lets anybody run etherwake as root | 12:31 |
| homy | DozedOnLinux: yeah, but I am connected with the pc I want to wake up. That pc is also the dhcp server which distributes the ip addresses. | 12:32 |
| crdlb | brutus: yep | 12:32 |
| DozedOnLinux | homy: you are looking to WoL from remote ? | 12:32 |
| Myrtti | hm | 12:32 |
| Myrtti | I find this message when installing LaTeX2HTML: "Warning: pstoimg not installed, because build failed." | 12:32 |
| homy | DozedOnLinux: No, specifically I want to turn on a client without having to turn on the dhcp server, then wake up the dhcp server, get an ip address and connect to the other services (http, ...) the server offers. | 12:32 |
| mrsimon | is it possible to get an 'elantech' touchpad working with Ubuntu yet? | 12:33 |
| Myrtti | a coworker complains to me while trying to make latex2html to work on gutsy gibbon | 12:33 |
| DozedOnLinux | homy: oh yes, i see your situation,, hmm, there must be a way | 12:33 |
| homy | DRebellion: Is that safe? | 12:33 |
| DRebellion | homy, sure, as long as you don't let anybody replace etherwake with anything malicious | 12:33 |
| DozedOnLinux | homy: ad-hoc would work for that ? just an idea | 12:34 |
| homy | DRebellion: But "wakeonlan" can run without root permissions, so why can't etherwake" | 12:34 |
| homy | Yeah, that would work (adding an exception to /etc/sudoers. | 12:34 |
| DRebellion | homy, i would assume that wakeonlan is using normal IP (internet protocol), whilst etherwake is using raw sockets, which would require root privs. | 12:35 |
| Newbee | hello | 12:35 |
| homy | Drebellion: ok, that would also explain why "wakeonlan" says "network is unreachable" if I don't have an ip address. | 12:35 |

| TiredWolf | !recovery | Mythril | 12:37 |
| ubottu | Mythril: To rescue a broken system, boot the alternate install CD and select "Rescue a broken system" | 12:37 |
| TiredWolf | Mythril: sorry, that's not the relevant factoid | 12:37 |
| TiredWolf | !recover | Mythril | 12:37 |
| ubottu | Mythril: Some tools to recover lost data are listed and explained at https://help.ubuntu.com/community/DataRecovery - Recovering deleted files on !ext3 filesystems can be virtually impossible, although a method that might work in some cases is described at http://www.xs4all.nl/~carlo17/howto/undelete_ext3.html | 12:37 |
| Newbee | I have configured my logitech RX1000 to use evdev and used /dev/input/by-id/ . And it works fine. But when I pug the mouse out and in again the horizontal scroll doesn't work until i restart X. | 12:37 |
| DistroJockey | JannoTT, that does'nt look like a good idea | 12:37 |
| homy | Is it also possible to add a bash script to /etc/sudoers, that executes "etherwake" and "dhclient"? | 12:37 |
| homy | And:would that be safe? | 12:37 |
| JannoTT | DistroJockey, why not | 12:38 |
| TiredWolf | Mythril: how bad a failure is it? if you can't access the drive at all, i doubt ubuntu can do anything for you - you'll need a data recovery service. otherwise, the vital thing to remember is that you should take an *image* of the drive and work on that, never on the drive directly, or you could damage it further | 12:38 |
| Newbee | But because I use the mouse with my notebook I need working plug and play. It would be great if anyone of you could help me. | 12:38 |
| DRebellion | homy, put the script in /usr/bin and execute the script from /etc/sudoers. | 12:38 |
| brutus | DozedOnLinux: it is multiline...how do i 'pastebin'? | 12:38 |
| Mythril | TiredWolf: ubuntu (server) half-booted on the drive | 12:38 |
| DistroJockey | JannoTT, why would you want to link /dev/input/js0 to /dev/ ? | 12:39 |
| TiredWolf | Mythril: ok, then don't boot from it again, and rather get another drive (hopefully you have one that can fit the size of the broken one?) and take an image | 12:39 |
| DozedOnLinux | brutus: go to paste.ubuntu.com and paste your text, give it a title, hit paste button and send URL to whomever you need to see the pastebin | 12:39 |
| homy | DRebellion: Ok. I'll try that. Thanks for your and DozedOnLinux help. | 12:39 |
| Mythril | TiredWolf: it was a dev box, so everything on it was backed up (hopefully), it was a raid drive so I am a bit confused | 12:39 |

| Pirate_Hunter | found an interesting site for beginners covering different aspect of linux the title says it all - http://www.linuxfromscratch.org/blfs/view/svn/index.html | 12:40 |
| DRebellion | homy, make sure you only edit /etc/sudoers using the 'visudo' command. | 12:40 |
| homy | ah... DRebelloing: Can I also but the script in /usr/local/bin ? That would be safe against updates... | 12:40 |
| TiredWolf | Mythril: uhm well then what is it that you need to recover? | 12:40 |
| brutus | DozedOnLinux:ok, thank you | 12:40 |
| Mythril | TiredWolf: logs | 12:40 |
| DozedOnLinux | brutus: i should have done that to begin with :) | 12:40 |
| homy | DRebellion: So I have to use vi to edit sudoers? Thats disgusting! | 12:40 |
| DRebellion | homy, well, it makes sure you don't mess it up and lock yourself out of the system. | 12:41 |
| Mythril | TiredWolf: It may not be a hardware failure, I am not sure | 12:41 |
| === samitheb1rber is now known as samitheberber | ||
| DistroJockey | JannoTT, then you would probably want to link /dev/input/js0 to /dev/js0 (just a guess) | 12:41 |

| Mythril | TiredWolf: I just know that I have a lot of corrupt files and no explanation | 12:41 |
| DRebellion | homy, you can put the script wherever you want, as long as all users will have read permissions. | 12:41 |
| DozedOnLinux | Newbee: what is your native language ? | 12:41 |
| Kartagis | otwr: thanks a lot | 12:41 |
| TiredWolf | Mythril: alright, plain text is not the easiest thing to recover (at least, it's time consuming), but look at the tools i've linked, some of them have the smarts to recover text files relatively painfree. but if you could still half-boot from the drive, then it's possible that you can just mount an image and read the filesystem perhaps...? | 12:42 |
| MikeSeth | Newbee: examine the logs for driver error messages | 12:42 |
| Newbee | German. But I will do my best to speak English with you. | 12:42 |

| Newbee | MikeSeth: where can I find these logs? Or do you mean /var/log/messages ? | 12:43 |
| DozedOnLinux | Newbee: is there a reason why you changed your mouse settings in the first place ? | 12:43 |
| MikeSeth | Newbee: there, and in dmesg | 12:43 |

| brutus | crdlb:oh great! so now i can use desktop effects and compiz? | 12:44 |
| Newbee | DozedOnLinux: Yes. the horizontal scroll wasn't working and I really love this feature of some logitech mice. So I want to make that working even after puging the mouse out and in again. | 12:44 |
| homy | DRebellion: Thanks, now i closed vi. Well, I'll have to do a bit of reading before running visudo again. Thanks anyway! | 12:44 |
| TiredWolf | Mythril: well, boot a live CD and see. perhaps if it's just a couple of logfiles that you need to recover, and there's a possibility that they can still be intact together with the filesystem structure, then you could give a quick try at mounting the drive without taking an image of it first. just be sure to mount it read-only (mount -o ro), and work on it as little as possible - just access the relevant files and copy them if you can | 12:44 |

| elky | MikeSeth, it's up to you: play by the rules of the channel you're in, or dont play in the channel. 'no wtf' is a rule in this channel, so please abide by it while you're here. | 13:10 |
| MikeSeth | Newbee: I think you should point X to an alias of the device | 13:11 |
| soundray | MikeSeth: you're in a minority here. Everyone else accepts the Code of Conduct, if you don't, you're free to leave. | 13:11 |
| Newbee | MikeSeth: I tried to achieve that with the by-id thing, but I seem to have failed. | 13:11 |
| smokewon | bazhang could you please help im stuck on the page https://help.ubuntu.com/community/GrubHowto#Backup,%20Repairing%20and%20Reinstalling%20GRUB where it says on step 4 " | 13:11 |
| smokewon | Mount your appropriate linux partions / /boot swap ..... " | 13:11 |
| smokewon | i dont see where to put a "/ /boot swap" | 13:11 |
| xnv | MikeSeth: Maybe we should create #ubuntu-swear | 13:11 |
| xnv | MikeSeth: Or #ubuntu-wtf | 13:11 |
| smokewon | do i edit a partition? | 13:11 |
| m08 | Anyone know how I do this: Make sure that the kernel sources of the kernel you are using (NOT the | 13:11 |
| m08 | sources of some other kernel) are in the directory /usr/src/linux ? | 13:11 |
| TiredWolf | !offtopic | xnv, MikeSeth | 13:12 |
| ubottu | xnv, MikeSeth: #ubuntu is the Ubuntu support channel, #ubuntu+1 supports the development version of Ubuntu and #ubuntu-offtopic is for random chatter. Welcome! | 13:12 |
| alraune | mo8: uname -r | 13:12 |
| Newbee | MikeSeth: Can you explain that more precisely? I cannot follow your thoughts. | 13:12 |
| alraune | , then look in there | 13:12 |

| JernauhGurgeh | soundray: surely! let me put it in steps. I get to gdm login. If I select secure login I login a graphical session in a remote computer. The X and all. That takes too long to load due to net speed. I rather login to my local session and open a terminal to do a ssh to my remote computer. But... once there, mmm I cant run a GUI application. How can I redirect that program to run in my local X server? I apologize for not being able to call it simple ;P | 13:13 |
| MikeSeth | Newbee: typically the mouse is mapped to an alias, such as /dev/psaux, no matter where its connected, the first mouse will be available through that alias. I am not sure which alias you're looking for in Ubuntu, but you probably shouldnt point X to a device-specific file | 13:13 |
| bazhang | smokewon, sorry had a phone call | 13:13 |
| smokewon | np's | 13:13 |
| bazhang | smokewon, you in the ubuntu live cd now? | 13:13 |
| smokewon | yup | 13:13 |
| cvs | somebody can help-me? please read this http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=751509 | 13:13 |
| MikeSeth | Newbee: /dev/psaux does exist tho, so try thatr | 13:13 |
| MikeSeth | s/r// | 13:14 |
| smokewon | im looking at the "Prepare Partition's" screen in GParted | 13:14 |
| bazhang | smokewon, you got a terminal or tty now? | 13:14 |
| smokewon | yup | 13:14 |
| bazhang | sudo -s smokewon ? | 13:14 |
| soundray | JernauhGurgeh: now I follow you. In your local session, you can run, for example 'ssh -X username@remotehost xlogo' and the remote xlogo will display locally. | 13:14 |
| smokewon | yup done | 13:14 |
| Newbee | MikeSeth: and you do think that the touchpad is not considered the first mouse by ubuntu? | 13:14 |
| smokewon | im now root@ubuntu | 13:14 |
| bazhang | now type grub smoke | 13:14 |
| smokewon | ok | 13:14 |

| smokewon | Probing devices to guess BIOS drives. This may take a long time. | 13:15 |
| smokewon | just let this do its thing | 13:15 |
| m08 | alraune, ok I typed that and it shows the source of my kernel, but it's not in /usr/src/linux , it's in /usr/src/linux-source-2.6.24 | 13:15 |
| bazhang | then find /boot/grub/stage1 | 13:15 |
| soundray | JernauhGurgeh: you can also 'ssh -X username@remotehost' and start remote X clients interactively. Use -C to compress the ssh exchange - it pays off if both machines are reasonably fast. | 13:15 |
| smokewon | ok np's | 13:15 |
| bazhang | smokewon, what did it return | 13:15 |
| smokewon | (hd0, 5) | 13:15 |

| m08 | alraune, well this driver I'm trying to install says "Make sure that the kernel sources of the kernel you are using (NOT the | 13:16 |
| m08 | sources of some other kernel) are in the directory /usr/src/linux" as one of the steps to take before I try to do the make | 13:16 |
| JernauhGurgeh | soundray: so ssh is the one who's in charge of redirect the program to my local X eh? Awesome! Thanks! And Ill read some more about ssh! :D Amm will the compress reduce traffic? | 13:16 |
| bazhang | smokewon, now type root (hd0,5) | 13:16 |
| MikeSeth | Newbee: there are two likely reasons to this: either X doesnt recognize the new device because its name changed, and applies default config to it (see xorg logs too!) or the driver itself doesn't get initialized - I wouldnt know what to do then | 13:16 |
| smokewon | bazhang: Error 11: Unrecognized device string | 13:16 |
| bazhang | smokewon, then type setup (hd0,5) | 13:17 |
| bazhang | smokewon, okay then that is the problem | 13:17 |
| MikeSeth | Newbee: as of the touchpad, I dont know. This depends on the laptop (for thinkpads there is a special driver/port) | 13:17 |
| soundray | JernauhGurgeh: yes, it will. ssh tunnels the graphics output through its connection. In the docs that's called X forwarding. | 13:17 |
| smokewon | ah ok, i typed: grub> root (hd0, 5) which returned that error, should i continue with setup (hd0, 5) anyway? | 13:17 |
| smokewon | sorry without the grub> i mean | 13:17 |
| bazhang | smokewon, no space there | 13:17 |

| joep | crypted: On the same network? | 13:20 |

| cwill747 | calouro_ubuntu: did this just happen? or has it been installed for awhile | 13:53 |
| soundray | m08: that lspci output is fine, as long as the driver loads. Look in dmesg output for errors relating to the driver loading. | 13:54 |

| Omar87 | ActionParsnip: I tried that, it didn't work. | 14:07 |

| DozedOnLinux | the video loosk faked or theoretical, i have seen that design before, and it wasnt by anyone in Linux Commun | 14:12 |
| Newbee | ActionParsnip: I don't understand. Maybe my English is to bad. Can you explain that more clearly please? | 14:12 |
| m08 | ActionParsnip, I'm a super noob to ubuntu/linux so it was a joke of frustration(I'm having trying to set up my tv tuner) | 14:12 |
| Claudiu | some one can tell me where is located "htdocs" or "www" folder ? | 14:12 |
| Omar87 | It says: "python2.5 is already the newest version." | 14:12 |
| soundray | m08: I mean unintuitive as in "have to spend an hour with the manpage" (that's scan), not "have to play around a bit before things start to make sense" (that's Ubuntu) | 14:12 |
| ActionParsnip | m08: you've a lot to learn | 14:12 |

| m08 | ActionParsnip, you said it! | 14:13 |
| ActionParsnip | Newbee: make your mouse not work | 14:13 |
| soundray | m08: I have to say, you've done exceedingly well, checking out experimental source code with hg and compiling it for your kernel! That's not newbie stuff by a long way. | 14:13 |
| ActionParsnip | Newbee: with hibernate or whatever, then try fixing it with those commands about usbcore | 14:13 |
| bastid_raZor | DozedOnLinux; i'm not going to try the whole house control. just the tv tuner/media player.. | 14:14 |
| DozedOnLinux | sorry may be off-topic, but it does have something to do with linux, not Ubuntu specific so thats that | 14:14 |

| caprisonn | so whaat can i do_ | 14:19 |
| soundray | caprisonn: it's called NAT and it's the default, but do make sure you haven't set it to something else | 14:19 |

| rocko | to do remote desktop over the internet. i was thinking of installing nx on my windows box. freenx on my ubuntu box. then what port would i need to forward on the router? | 15:14 |
| ikonia | robokop: does it not say the port ranges in the docs ? | 15:14 |
| wols_ | kibibyte: you don't need to reload your settings, don't need to do anything | 15:14 |
| ikonia | robokop: sorry | 15:14 |
| ikonia | rocko: does it not say the port ranges in the docs ? you set the port at configure time | 15:15 |
| Gnea | kibibyte: it's run from xinetd - which means everytime you disconnect, that session disappears. every session reloads the config file that way. if you were running it in daemon mode, then you would have to manually reload it. but you're not, so it's not a worry. | 15:15 |

| ackbahr | Hi there! I''d like to create a folder to share files between local users (i.e. files dropped there should get rwx rights for a group composed of all the users on this computer), is there a way to do this? | 15:25 |
| robbo | Gnea: well.. the font doesnt look the same;P | 15:25 |
| ikonia | smokewon: Hmmm I don't see why not, you could split them like any other file as it's just data, as long as they are joined together at the right point | 15:26 |
| GleepGlop | robokop: I'm looking more for opinions on which is better | 15:26 |
| smokewon | ah ok, tyvm again | 15:26 |
| robokop | ackbahr: set the group sticky bit | 15:26 |
| ikonia | smokewon: you can't say do tar jxvf $file1.tar.bz2 $file2.tar.bx2 and it will auto join them - that isn't possible, tar is dumb | 15:26 |
| ikonia | smokewon: but you could script it in theory | 15:26 |

| MikeSeth | Newbee: you mean when you press the middle button? | 15:29 |

| ackbahr | robokop: But if several people are allowed to put files there, this won't work, or will it? | 15:29 |
| Newbee | MikeSeth: this is probaby since ubuntu doesn't use the evdev any more. I had to configure X to use the evdev with the mouse to make the horizontal scroll work. | 15:29 |

| lilruss | can someone tell me how to get the mouse to capture innotek virtual box | 16:25 |
| alraune | FFEMTc: nero: iso to disc, not at full speed, verify after burning, maybe allow overburn (depends on iso-image size) | 16:25 |
| MrSteve | found evince | 16:25 |

| fde | bullgard4: hard to tell due to it not saying explicitly how big each partition is... you should have a / /home and swap at least though... / should be maybe 5 gigs, swap 1 gig... rest for your files in /home | 16:28 |
| eraldo | does it work ? | 16:28 |

| l3x | is there a way to connect pocket pc FSC pocket loox 600 with ubuntu? | 16:40 |
| ubottu | To mount an ISO disc image, type « sudo mount -o loop <ISO-filename> <mountpoint> » - There is a list of useful cd image conversion tools at http://wiki.linuxquestions.org/wiki/CD_Image_Conversion - Always verify the ISO using !MD5 before !burning. | 16:40 |
| katya^^ | I'm pretty sure the reason is my ITE821x sata controller | 16:40 |
| Ktulhu | WARlrus, did you do a fresh install ? of ubuntu , did you try the live cd before installing ? | 16:40 |
| katya^^ | are there any kernel patches that can help out here | 16:40 |

We've had many many problems with vista such as the system crashing when doing something with files, internet explorer crashing, games being really slow, stuff like that. And on each and every computer we have here with Vista on it, (which are 2), we have a load of problems. | 17:06 |

| Jack_Sparrow | Nece228 envy from the web never worked.. so what is your point | 17:33 |
| Paddy_EIRE | Nece228: upgrade to the LTS its worth it... and envy does work with gutsy | 17:33 |
| fyrestrtr | eraldo: seiko printers have linux drivers afaik. | 17:33 |

| Nece228 | Paddy_EIRE: does it worked in gutsy? | 17:35 |
| eraldo | fyrestrtr: thank's for the hint... I was just asking if I could find someone in here that uses either of them so I could ask further questions... | 17:35 |
| Paddy_EIRE | Nece228: yes | 17:35 |

| Wrin | mar: Default ubuntu | 17:42 |
| Fenix|work | fyrestrtr, so change all references to eth0 to eth0:0? what about auth eth0? | 17:42 |
| bazhang | opssrah, you got the drivers installed? | 17:42 |
| Fenix|work | err auto | 17:42 |
| fyrestrtr | Wrin: ctrl+alt+f1, login, then type sudo /etc/init.d/gdm stop | 17:42 |
| Wrin | opssrah: Get the drivers from nvidia.com | 17:42 |
| marx2k | Wring: go to a TTY terminal (ctrl+alt+F1) and type 'sudo /etc/init.d/gdm stop' | 17:42 |

| fyrestrtr | findhelp: grep "word" | 17:45 |
| sh4d3-0090 | or is there an apt-get? | 17:45 |

| fyrestrtr | Fenix|work: you have to setup virtual addresses just like you do normal ones. | 17:47 |
| shaun | alright, so here's the deal, i have an avi file that will not play on vlc or totem, but it plays on mplayer, but it flashes and there is no sound. can anyone help me fix? | 17:48 |

| fyrestrtr | shaun: sounds like you need to download it again. | 17:49 |
| Sake | fyrestrtr, any recommendations? | 17:49 |
| galexcd | has anyone in this channel successfully installed cairo-dock on their system? | 17:49 |

| ivanz | The panel could not register with the bonobo-activation server (error code: 3) and will exit.It may be automatically restarted. | 17:49 |
| alex-weej | lol, ok | 17:49 |
| fyrestrtr | Sake: I use the screenlet notifier tbh, but that's for gmail. You can pick any you like -- there are a few hundred. | 17:49 |
| ivanz | nautilus and panel no longer run at startup | 17:49 |
| ivanz | how can I solve this? | 17:49 |
| alex-weej | just don't go reporting bugs against totem whilst trying to play animal sex MPEGs (it has happened before) | 17:49 |
| ivanz | fresh install + full update ---> bonobo breakge? | 17:50 |
| fyrestrtr | ivanz: no, something else is up. | 17:50 |
| alex-weej | ivanz: i doubt it. are you using the official distro? | 17:50 |

| fyrestrtr | ivanz: what did you download? From which link. | 17:50 |
| foorbar | marx2k, bazhang, and yes, he is logged in, via vnc, and has a couple of rxvts running, and is using the system, so why don't who and w report he's on at the moment? | 17:51 |
| Sake | fyrestrtr, I wish I could just know of one that was EXACTLY like evolution's. That one's perfect. | 17:51 |
| alex-weej | ivanz: if you try and run gnome-panel and nautilus "manually", does it work? | 17:51 |
| ivanz | Also I am running in VirtualBox | 17:51 |
| ivanz | well I haven't tried that yet | 17:51 |
| bazhang | foorbar, not sure really | 17:51 |
| ivanz | I can't open a terminal | 17:51 |
| fyrestrtr | Sake: I'm sorry I can't be of more help as I don't use evolution. | 17:51 |
| ivanz | will check from tty | 17:51 |
| foorbar | bazhang thanks | 17:51 |
| alex-weej | ivanz: send a Ctrl+Alt+F1 to the VBox | 17:51 |
| galexcd | so I can see that everyone needs their questions answered so I guess I'll just wait until somebody who can help is free | 17:51 |
| ivanz | I tried purging some settings | 17:52 |
| alex-weej | ivanz: that will switch you to VT1. log in with your username and password, then type: export DISPLAY=":0" | 17:52 |
| Sake | fyrestrtr, no worries. Thanks for the help | 17:52 |
| fyrestrtr | ivanz: create a new user and login to gdm | 17:52 |
| dawid | hi | 17:52 |
| dawid | :P | 17:52 |
| ivanz | I know how it's done, but thanks anyway | 17:52 |
| alex-weej | ivanz: then type: gnome-panel; and then switch to VT7 | 17:52 |
| yasiin | hi all | 17:52 |
| dawid | hi yasiin | 17:52 |
| alex-weej | ivanz: if it doesn't appear, you can use "gdb" to debug it and find out where it is hanging | 17:52 |
| opssrah | bazhang | 17:53 |
| bazhang | opssrah, yes | 17:54 |
| opssrah | go to admin > hardware drivers ? | 17:54 |
| bazhang | opssrah, right | 17:54 |
| bazhang | |anonymous|, did you boot from the 14 kernel | 17:54 |
| ivanz | hm okay the breakage is caused by something else which has installed a broken library in /opt and has modified ld_library_path | 17:54 |
| ivanz | thanks | 17:55 |
| opssrah | bazhang, wait | 17:55 |
| |anonymous| | hi me again i have "cpu frequency scaling unsuported " and drive my cpu on 100 % | 17:55 |
| bazhang | |anonymous|, did you solve the upgrade bug | 17:55 |
| |anonymous| | no i folow the web | 17:56 |
| |anonymous| | but its look some | 17:56 |
| bazhang | |anonymous|, there is a workaround you know | 17:56 |
| |anonymous| | i try to use manager and has told me its latest | 17:56 |
| lakitu | hey - i got another comp, not the one i was working on yesterday. it had linux & also win xp on it with GRUB as a bootloader. i got a virus on the win, & had to format. i lost the loader. now i know there's guides to reinstalling the loader, but i want to know how i can tell if my linux partition is still there, & working? (is it risky to tell it to boot to it, when it's corrupted/formatted/etc?) | 17:56 |
| lakitu | sorry - not the most eloquent discourse on my problem.. | 17:57 |
| bazhang | lakitu, did you format the ubuntu partition as well | 17:57 |
| opssrah | bazhang, http://mfitri.net/pic/Screenshot-1.png | 17:57 |
| |anonymous| | guys i have problem with cpu | 17:57 |
| lakitu | bazhang: i formatted c:\, & i think linux was on a different partition (i don't know because a friend set it up) | 17:57 |
| lakitu | bazhang: & c:\ was win | 17:58 |
| lakitu | it must've been, right? | 17:58 |
| lakitu | on a different partition | 17:58 |
| bazhang | lakitu, hope so :) | 17:58 |
| lakitu | lol =) | 17:58 |
| lakitu | me too | 17:58 |
| lakitu | do just 'live cd -> grub -> check?' | 17:59 |
| joetheodd | lakitu, if you reinstalled windows, you probably overwrote grub with windows' bootloader | 17:59 |
| opssrah | bazhang, saw the pic ? | 17:59 |
| joetheodd | lakitu, yeah reinstall grub off of live | 17:59 |
| albert_ | hello | 17:59 |
| bazhang | opssrah, yes; did you look for the driver in synaptic? | 17:59 |
| opssrah | where ? | 17:59 |
| bazhang | opssrah, synaptic package manager | 17:59 |
| joetheodd | lakitu, actually, try to just mount a few /dev/hd* or /dev/sd* and see if there's linux on them | 17:59 |
| lakitu | joetheodd: ok. important: there is no risk of installing GRUB (is there??) if there is no linux partition? | 17:59 |
| larson9999 | ok, the gremlins got me. installed hardy and in ff, scroll up does a scroll up and then 'back'. | 17:59 |
| opssrah | bazhang, ok wait | 18:00 |
| galexcd | So uh... is anyone running cairo-dock, or is familiar enough with it to tell me what I'm doing wrong? | 18:00 |
| lakitu | joakim: ok | 18:00 |
| lakitu | joetheodd | 18:00 |
| joetheodd | lakitu, correct. worst case scenario is you can't get into windows and have to reformat again (and since you need to reformat windows every other week anyhow, that's nothing big :P ) | 18:00 |
| Ferchault | Hello, I'm using hardy on x86_64. My flash works...but only until I reboot. Then I have to reinstall flashplugin-nonfree and it works again. What changes do I have to make permanent? | 18:00 |
| bazhang | Ferchault, livecd or install | 18:01 |
| lakitu | joetheodd: no no no! very wrong. this is my main comp, with 750 gigs on it. i can't afford to reformat this. even if it is just a 100gig partition for windows | 18:01 |
| naxxtor | hmmm | 18:01 |
| Ferchault | bazhang: installed on disk | 18:01 |
| joetheodd | lakitu, oh! | 18:02 |
| lakitu | joetheodd: yes =) | 18:02 |
| joetheodd | lakitu, well grub should detect windows, and if not, you need to manually config | 18:02 |
| joetheodd | you can't hurt windows, just render it hidden temporarily | 18:02 |
| naxxtor | i've just done ps aux | grep modprobe and i get this:http://pastebin.com/m22149f12 is this normal? | 18:02 |
| lakitu | joetheodd: ok, so it IS possible to get boot back into windows if GRUB "hides" it, or whatever? | 18:02 |
| anirudh0 | lakitu, as long as windows is the primary partition | 18:02 |
| lakitu | -get | 18:02 |
| galexcd | so.... is anyone familiar enough with my issue to tell me what I can do about this error: | 18:03 |
| galexcd | cairo-dock: error while loading shared libraries: libglitz-glx.so.1: cannot open shared object file: No such file or directory | 18:03 |
| joetheodd | lakitu yes, you need to get the MBR to find it though | 18:03 |
| anirudh0 | galexcd, the library is missing | 18:03 |
| anirudh0 | galexcd, search for the package containing it..and install it | 18:03 |
| lakitu | anirudh0: how do i tell (what prog) to find what is the primary partition. | 18:03 |
| krod | I'm having trouble installing ubuntu, whenever it comes down to formatting the harddrrive, the entire install freezes | 18:03 |
| galexcd | where do you suggest I search? | 18:03 |
| lakitu | either win or linux app | 18:03 |
| krod | I have burned it multiple times with multiple diffrent burning applications | 18:03 |
| krod | I have turned acpi off | 18:03 |
| anirudh0 | lakitu, it should be the first(lef-hand-most) partition in gparted | 18:03 |
| krod | I can't imagine what the problem is | 18:03 |
| lakitu | anirudh0: ok, thanks | 18:04 |
| anirudh0 | galexcd, packages.ubuntu.com or apt-file | 18:04 |
| krod | anyone have any ideas? | 18:04 |
| lakitu | joetheodd: thanks, i'll be back | 18:04 |
| anirudh0 | krod, format first | 18:04 |
| lakitu | thanks too, bazhang | 18:04 |
| anirudh0 | krod, run "sudo gparted" from live cd | 18:04 |
| bazhang | np :) | 18:04 |
| anirudh0 | krod, then install | 18:04 |
| krod | anirudh0, i can't format | 18:05 |
| krod | it | 18:05 |
| krod | it freezes | 18:05 |
| anirudh0 | krod, have you tried running gparted outside the install process? | 18:05 |
| krod | no what does that do? | 18:05 |
| krod | so I should boot intot eh live cd? | 18:06 |
| marx2k | GParted LiveCD always works for me | 18:06 |

| fabz0r1 | im a noob in a bit of strife | 18:22 |
| unop | roch09, you should always backup before using gparted - just to be safe | 18:22 |
| fabz0r1 | i want to do something hell simple | 18:22 |
| anirudh0 | sladen, rather "rm -rv ~/.local/share/Trash" | 18:22 |

| fabz0r1 | so i can run it | 18:22 |

| unop | roch09, though gparted usually tries to resize partitions without any data loss - but there is no guarantee | 18:23 |

| slash_nick | Is there a way to install Ubuntu using only the internet repositories (instead of the out-of-date LiveCD repositories)? Is it as simple as booting the LiveCD, changing the repositories in the usual way, then installing via the desktop icon? | 19:08 |
| dashnu | not a big deal | 19:08 |
| DefunctProcess | dashnu: or else someone will hi-jack your IRC nick and that could lead to serious problems, like home foreclosure, imprisonment or drug abuse. | 19:08 |

| ikonia | xfm: yes, you then need to launch emerald theme manager | 19:32 |
| perfector | duncan_lurk, it does not do anything.. | 19:32 |
| duncan_lurk | what does not do anything. | 19:32 |
| xfm | ikonia i would like to do it with command lines, its for a script | 19:32 |
| perfector | duncan_lurk, install dictionaries wizard | 19:33 |
| Ktulhu | Gnea, i dontr have a problem , the problem is not knowing what to do . googled arround a bit but no luck | 19:33 |
| ikonia | xfm: like to do what ? | 19:33 |
| Gustov | here | 19:33 |
| Gustov | sorry | 19:33 |
| xfm | ikonia: like everybody switch automatically compiz/metacity while lauching vlc for example | 19:33 |
| Gnea | b666m: sudo aptitude reinstall linux-ubuntu-modules-2.6.22-15-generic | 19:34 |
| perfector | duncan_lurk, no java runtime env ... | 19:34 |
| Gnea | b666m: sudo aptitude reinstall linux-ubuntu-modules-2.6.24-19-generic | 19:34 |
| Gnea | b666m: :) | 19:34 |
| perfector | duncan_lurk, gotta install that | 19:34 |
| b666m | ok, thank you :) i will check this out ;) | 19:34 |
| xfm | ikonia: I can do it but while relanching compiz, the emerald theme does not come back | 19:34 |
| ikonia | xfm: well 1.) running desktop effects over a remote desktop is not a good idea 2.) you just need to modify the files and dir's in people /home .emerald directory | 19:34 |
| flexgrip | I am getting corrupt downloads from the repos. Does anyone know how to fix that? | 19:34 |
| Gnea | flexgrip: how do you know they're corrupt? | 19:35 |
| flexgrip | Gnea - It says corrupt package | 19:35 |
| MrPickle | Gustov, 'sok.. so the good new is, its finally installed properly and recognized by the gtk applet [i was just working around that before], but its still showing as an invalid driver. I've checked the source code, so I know I have the right now | 19:35 |
| xfm | ikonia: i don't understand what is a remote desktop? Is it emerald? It works pretty well | 19:35 |
| Gnea | flexgrip: what is 'It'? | 19:35 |
| ikonia | xfm: vnc is a remove desktop | 19:35 |
| flexgrip | Gnea - apt and synaptic | 19:36 |
| perfector | duncan_lurk, but it already says sun-java6-jre to latest version | 19:36 |

| St-Lemur | Hi. I just upgraded gnome and rebooted my computer, and now it's saying the permissions are wrong on /var/lib/gdm but when I try to chown that directory, I get "read-only filesystem". | 19:36 |
| DRebellion | Seaweasel, pretty much | 19:36 |
| Gustov | invalid driver.. did you manually search for the driver and make sure it's something like xp edition | 19:36 |
| perfector | Seaweasel, no | 19:36 |
| Gnea | Seaweasel: ext3 is not FAT/NTFS | 19:36 |
| Nutzebahn | td123: How do I check if it is at least USB 2.0? | 19:36 |
| Gustov | I got that as well when I did the autorun.inf | 19:36 |
| DRebellion | Seaweasel, unless your drive is like 90%+ full | 19:36 |
| ikonia | xfm: why do you not just setup emerald to be your default window manager instead of stopping/starting it | 19:36 |
| Gustov | I had to find it under manual | 19:36 |
| Gnea | Seaweasel: only Microsoft-based FS's require fragmentation | 19:36 |
| mizipzor | if someone has the time, i would appreciate some help with this issue: http://kubuntuforums.net/forums/index.php?topic=3096601.0 (ignore its on the kubuntu forums, its a ubuntu error) | 19:36 |
| MrPickle | Gustov, *acceidental return* I have the right driver. Would you suggest going through and configure the modprobe? | 19:37 |
| Gustov | heh, that's your discretion.. I'm still new to this myself | 19:37 |
| Gustov | if it was an accidental return I assume it'll work though | 19:37 |
| duncan_lurk | perfector, just to be sure I'd reinstall OOo if you have the bandwidth. | 19:37 |
| duncan_lurk | perfector, how did you install/ upgrade? | 19:37 |

| b666m | Gnea: wow, thx :) one more question. it seemed like a wep-network doesn't work with the iwlwifi-driver. so i installed ndiswrapper and the windows-driver. it works really good with wep, but it doesn't work with wpa. now, if i want to connect to a wpa-network, the driver is still ndiswrapper (doesn't work). how can i switch between ndiswrapper (for wep) and iwlwifi (for wpa)? | 19:39 |
| daviddddd | which the serial of ubuntu? | 19:39 |
| flexgrip | Gnea - That's what I get when I run apt-get -f. If I try to install anything the packages (after it fetches them) are corrupt. | 19:39 |
| duncan_lurk | anyone: what the package name for OpenOffice in ubuntu 8.04? | 19:40 |
| daviddddd | which the serial of ubuntu? | 19:40 |
| Gnea | flexgrip: rm /var/cache/apt/archives/gedit_2.22.3-0ubuntu1_i386.deb and run sudo apt-get -f install again | 19:40 |
| duncan_lurk | it's not open-office or openoffice.org or openoffice | 19:40 |
| MrVirus | davidddd : as in product key.. or serial port | 19:40 |
| b666m | duncan_lurk: get the package with the synaptic-package-manager and use the search-engine :) | 19:40 |
| duton | just search for office then :P | 19:40 |
| Gnea | b666m: probably have to write a script to unload/load the right drivers | 19:41 |
| duncan_lurk | but then I don't know if I've caught the master package or one of the thousand sub-packages... | 19:41 |
| duncan_lurk | found it though openoffice.org-core | 19:41 |
| b666m | gnea: is it right, that wpa doesn't work with ndiswrapper or is it just my problem? | 19:41 |

I can't even open system > admin > software sources or sources.list in gedit because it complains about libpython | 19:42 |

| b666m | so... i will try my wireless connection... (cya :) ) | 19:42 |
| Gnea | flexgrip: then don't use gedit, use nano | 19:42 |
| duncan_lurk | Gnea, but OOo is installed by default. So what's the definiation of 'optional'? | 19:42 |

| sgodsell | if you don't want that behaviour then remove the file .runstartx | 19:59 |
| duncan_lurk | perfector, you can manually download the dictionary you want and install it. | 19:59 |
| mikelake | geirha: unfortionately I had some difficulty compiling it, and my source image will be larger than my availible disk space due to disk partitioning... It's hard for me to imagine that no one has come up with a plug in that reads .bkf files... | 19:59 |

| perfector | duncan_lurk, how can i know which shared library gets installed from which package? | 20:09 |
| Gustov | or has it been fixed | 20:09 |
| td123 | mikelake: pidgin if you go with gnome, kopete if you go with kde, simple as that | 20:09 |
| mikelake | Assid: I was just looking for opinions on things like that such as support, useablity.. etc.. | 20:09 |
| Gustov | installing windows right now btw | 20:09 |
| Gnea | Assid: try not to swear, we have enough problems as it is. | 20:09 |

| duncan_lurk | perfector, right click on a package in Synaptic. | 20:09 |
| mikelake | thanks | 20:09 |

| stephanopolous | with Bill Gates retired, they just might. | 20:32 |

| ikonia | Ktulhu: what device, the drivers are "the kernel" | 20:34 |
| ravensd | Jack_Sparrow: How do I get that for you? Just paste the entire /boot/grub/menu.lst? | 20:34 |

| Charruaenojao | ikonia: amsn | 20:34 |
| m4lmsteen | i had the pop up come up because of my nvidia card | 20:34 |
| ikonia | m4lmsteen: in what way ? | 20:34 |
| ikonia | Charruaenojao: why, amsn existing in ubuntu repos | 20:34 |
| Ktulhu | ikonia, i mean like for vdeo cards | 20:34 |
| Jack_Sparrow | ravensd you need to mount sdc2 and get that grub.. correct | 20:34 |
| swuboo | Sonderblade: What's wrong with Hardy with an nvidia card? Apart from the choppiness of hulu, I haven't had any particular problems. | 20:34 |
| perfector | BobSapp, transmission u mean? | 20:34 |
| ikonia | m4lmsteen: they are 3rd party drivers, outside the kernel | 20:34 |
| ikonia | Ktulhu: xorg | 20:34 |
| Sonderblade | m4lmsteen: definitely no go, search for "hardy nvidia 800x600" and youll see what i mean | 20:34 |
| Ktulhu | ikonia, thx | 20:34 |
| m4lmsteen | ikonia... is this good or bad ? | 20:35 |

| Sonderblade | ikonia: i dont think so, i removed the lvm packages when upgrading to feisty because they were causing problems during boot | 20:42 |
| ikonia | rodold: why are you not using the package in ubuntu | 20:42 |
| Charruaenojao | Gillpy: ok, I'll do it =) | 20:42 |
| Flare183 | rodold: just install ndiswrapper from the repos | 20:42 |
| rodold | ikonia: because i dont have an internet connection on that box | 20:42 |
| Jack_Sparrow | ravensd I really need to get some work done, hope You get it figured out | 20:43 |
| ravensd | Jack_Sparrow: Hm, sdc2 seems to be a windows drive | 20:43 |
| ikonia | rodold: thats no reason to build your own, more so if you don't know what your doing | 20:43 |
| ravensd | ok, thanks | 20:43 |
| hateball | angelofdias: No idea then. Working with flash 10 on 64 bit ubuntu 8.04 here | 20:43 |
| Charruaenojao | Gillpy: thanks! | 20:43 |
| Charruaenojao | ikonia: thank you too! | 20:43 |
| Omar87 | Because one day removed it by mistake, and when I installed it again, some programs stopped working. | 20:43 |
| ikonia | Sonderblade: well according to that error, the root file system is on a device controlled by /dev/mapper, which is either a raid device or lvm - thats why it's erroring | 20:43 |
| rodold | ikonia: but i cant download from the repos...so what should i do? im running windows vista on the machine with internet | 20:43 |
| ikonia | rodold: how did you get the ndiswrapper source if you have no internet connection ? | 20:43 |
| Jack_Sparrow | ravensd You said it you installed on the third drive.. sdc is your third drive. looking again sdc2 is ntfs | 20:44 |
| rodold | ikonia: i have an internet connection, but on another machine (running windows) | 20:44 |
| angelofdias | this movie mencioned above is fine with IE in windows xp | 20:44 |
| ikonia | rodold: so download the deb from the repo | 20:44 |
| jim_crow | Jack Sparrow - Basically, my screen stops refreshing properly and leaves images all over the screen. So after about 15 minutes I have thousands of pictures of your mother sucking the most gigantic, aids infested, herpes scab ridden, nigger dick I have ever seen. I almost puke every time I see it. And you know how hung niggers are. | 20:44 |
| ravensd | Jack_Sparrow: Indeed. Maybe it's scrambled somehow. I have 3 drives and I installed it on my newest. :S | 20:44 |
| Jack_Sparrow | rasdb6 is your only linux partition other than swap | 20:44 |

| angelofdias | how can i redirect to a windows xp room to discuss this subject ? | 20:45 |
| rodold | ikonia: ive searched and there is no ndiswrapper package, only ndiswrapper-common and ndiswrapper-utils (which i already have) | 20:45 |
| Sonderblade | ikonia: booting with 2.6.22 works so.. linux-image-2.6.24 must be broken | 20:45 |
| Jack_Sparrow | ravensd google up mixing ide and sata drives, that may have caused you a problem | 20:45 |
| Krinsky | is there a way to have links store session cookies, or cookies in general? | 20:45 |
| m4lmsteen | is there an application for ubuntu i can use to monitor my system temperatures ? | 20:45 |

| Jack_Sparrow | ravensd k.. just a thought | 20:46 |
| m4lmsteen | swuboo... can i get this via apt-get ? | 20:46 |
| Jack_Sparrow | ikonia thanks for that.. I was preoccupied | 20:46 |

| m4lmsteen | ok thanks swuboo | 20:47 |
| ravensd | Jack_Sparrow: Hm, after doing fdisk -l it seems my new linux partition is on /dev/sdc1... but somehow it lists as FAT16 | 20:47 |
| swuboo | m4lmsteen: I'd google how to set it up, since I can't remember myself. Gnome panel has an applet that will display whatever sensors you want, and there's a console command, 'sensors' that outputs all of it. | 20:47 |
| Jack_Sparrow | ravensd be sure that is not some recovery partition you are about to nuke | 20:47 |
| m4lmsteen | ok... i'll check it out.. im updating my system right now... trying to get everything squared away | 20:48 |
| m4lmsteen | then im going to start working on wine | 20:48 |
| m4lmsteen | and getting some of my games going | 20:48 |
| Gillpy | angelofdias: you mean #windows ? | 20:48 |
| angelofdias | yes , could be | 20:48 |
| ravensd | Jack_Sparrow: Can't be. It's 25GB and on the correct drive... Just FAT16 for some reason... I'm sure I formatted it as EXT3 | 20:48 |
| ravensd | Can't seem to mount it either... "can't find /dev/sdc1 in /etc/fsatb or /etc/mtab" | 20:49 |
| Jack_Sparrow | ravensd I am suggesting caution... I need to get back to work | 20:49 |

| dianapo | you solved it that way? | 20:53 |
| m4lmsteen | ok... i just got this message on synaptic saying i can upgrade to 8.04 ? | 20:53 |
| dianapo | hateball, did solve it that way | 20:54 |
| === towly is now known as backenfutter | ||
| swuboo | m4lmsteen: Sure. Hardy Heron. If you're on Gutsy, I imagine that message is accurate. | 20:54 |
| hateball | dianapo: I cant remember, but I think installing vlc should download a bunch of plugins as well | 20:54 |
| m4lmsteen | swuboo some guys was talking about hardy doing bad with nvidia ? | 20:54 |
| m4lmsteen | so would it be a good idea to choose to upgrade ? | 20:54 |
| swuboo | m4lmsteen: Yeah, I noticed him saying that, and I googled it. I don't know what to tell you; I'm using an 8800GTS at 1680x1050, and I've been using Hardy since the beta without issue. | 20:55 |
| jazzkutya | mikelake: partial file recovery? are you into discussing this a bit on #ubuntu-offtopic? | 20:55 |
| dianapo | hateball, okay I will tell you then if It works, give me a min | 20:55 |
| geirha | hateball, dianapo: vlc has codecs for most videos integrated. It does not install plugins that other media players can use. | 20:55 |
| swuboo | m4lmsteen: Perhaps you'll have problems, and perhaps you won't. All I can say for certain is that I haven't. | 20:55 |
| m4lmsteen | hmm | 20:55 |
| m4lmsteen | ok if i choose 'upgrade' will it do it automatically or do i need to burn something to disc ? | 20:56 |
| swuboo | m4lmsteen: Automatically. | 20:56 |
| m4lmsteen | gotcha | 20:56 |
| m4lmsteen | well i guess ill try it | 20:56 |
| geirha | dianapo: Did you get that message from totem (the default media player)? | 20:56 |
| m4lmsteen | nothign wrong with trying | 20:56 |
| m4lmsteen | bbs | 20:56 |
| hateball | geirha: Yes, but not w32codecs if I'm not mistaken | 20:56 |
| swuboo | m4lmsteen: Although it will take a *while* to download and install all of the packages. | 20:56 |
| dianapo | yes | 20:56 |
| dianapo | geirha, yes | 20:56 |
| Pirate_Hunter | just noticed icewm 1.2.35 is out but the rep doesnt have it, is there a way to update it to show? | 20:56 |
| swuboo | m4lmsteen: Don't do it unless you're prepared to devote a while to fixing any potential problems that might crop up---I didn't have any nVidia or video related problems, but I did have to spend a few hours cleaning up PulseAudio. | 20:57 |
| dianapo | hateball, it didnt work | 20:57 |
| m4lmsteen | swuboo... i lvoe a challenge | 20:57 |
| dianapo | geirha, what do you suggest? | 20:57 |
| geirha | hateball: I thought w32codecs was just for mplayer ... | 20:57 |
| swuboo | m4lmsteen: Then godspeed and good luck. | 20:57 |
| geirha | dianapo: Did you right-click the file and choose open with VLC? | 20:57 |
| m4lmsteen | its downloading now | 20:57 |
| m4lmsteen | 30 minutes till lift off | 20:58 |
| m4lmsteen | i should have probbaly rebooted beforehand... considering there were previous packages that required a reboot | 20:58 |
| m4lmsteen | i wonder if this will effect my upgrade ? | 20:58 |
| swuboo | m4lmsteen: I daresay you'll find out. Although I wouldn't expect it to. | 20:58 |
| m4lmsteen | hehehehe | 20:59 |
| m4lmsteen | oh well... if it does... i'll just have to start over! | 20:59 |
| hateball | geirha: Might be :D To be honest I havent modified my system for... long | 20:59 |
| dianapo | geirha, well, I just did and it doesnt do anything... just when you press play it blinks and return to normal position | 20:59 |
| geirha | hateball: ah, no, it seems gstreamer can also use w32codecs. | 20:59 |
| hateball | dianapo: Have you enabled multiverse and universe repositories? | 20:59 |
| m4lmsteen | can i upgrade my other machine via terminal ? | 21:00 |

| afallenhope | anyone have experience with ufw? | 21:04 |
| hateball | dianapo: Go into System -> Administration -> Sources (?) and enable the extra repositories. Then opening files in Totem should suggest grabbing the correct codecs | 21:04 |

| ikonia | Wavesonics: boot into single user mode | 21:08 |

| unop | evil_tech, how do you ascertain that it isn't full? | 21:23 |
| geirha | hateball: try renaming it to .asf. I think the mp3-extension may be confusing the media player. | 21:23 |

| alpinestr | isnt there an easy application for ubuntu to setup your wireless network ? | 21:24 |
| Wavesonics | how do i sahre a folder for Samba in the terminal? | 21:25 |
| Jack_Sparrow | alpinestr It is easy when you are using supported hardware | 21:25 |
| geirha | hateball: Tried it with mplayer? | 21:25 |
| evil_tech | Gnea:there is one partition, i can read the contents of the drive over the network but i cant write (yes the permissions are set right) because it says there is no free space | 21:25 |
| Gnea | evil_tech: anything with: fdisk -l /dev/[hs][d][a-z][0-9]? | 21:25 |
| alpinestr | my hardware is supported | 21:25 |
| Gnea | evil_tech: you failed to mention that it was a network issue. | 21:25 |
| evil_tech | for some reason fdisk -l turns up nothing. it used to show things though | 21:26 |

| ikonia | rodold: many people | 21:26 |
| evil_tech | Gnea: i can't write to it from anywhere | 21:26 |
| Aman | need help! | 21:26 |
| Gnea | rodold: i have and, quite frankly, i'll stick with ubuntu | 21:26 |
| Nutzebahn | ikonia: It doesn't tell me. | 21:27 |
| evil_tech | Gnea: might just format and start from scratch | 21:27 |
| ohno | it's just a different window manager | 21:27 |
| rodold | Gnea: If my other box could run it, I would run Ubuntu for sure...but it struggles even with the Live CD, and when it's installed it's very sluggish. | 21:27 |
| evil_tech | i have probably just messed with too many different things | 21:27 |
| ikonia | Nutzebahn: read the motherboard spec then, most boards have the manual online | 21:27 |
| Gnea | evil_tech: sounds like it, you sound very confused. | 21:27 |
| furenku | hello! im trying to intall kernel-headers for ubuntu hardy, but no luck, what is the simplest way? | 21:27 |

| alpinestr | wifi radar is the app I was looking for | 21:27 |
| dacoburn | Hey all, this isn't ubuntu specific but does anyone know if there are any api's for the dpkg library for pulling the package information using a lib? | 21:28 |
| ikonia | furenku: install the kernel headers package | 21:28 |
| creature | I guess I need to adjust the grub config and re-install it on my / partition. | 21:28 |
| ikonia | furenku: it's that simple | 21:28 |
| === DrGonzo is now known as test234234 | ||

| ikonia | creature: grub goes on your boot sector not your / partition | 21:28 |
| Jack_Sparrow | furenku sudo apt-get install linux-headers-`uname -r` | 21:28 |
| furenku | ikonia, i get "E: Couldn't find package kernel-headers-2.6.24-19-rt | 21:28 |
| furenku | " | 21:28 |
| ikonia | furenku: apt-cache search or open up your package manager and use the search function | 21:28 |
| evil_tech | i just dont understand why the drive shows up across the network, but i cant monitor it any way or write to it. probably the raid | 21:28 |
| Gnea | Aman: is it loading the ndiswrapper.ko at boot? | 21:28 |
| === eloquence is now known as elo | ||
| === johnboy_ is now known as johnboy_js | ||
| creature | ikonia: OK. Well, right now it seems to be on the USB key. | 21:29 |
| unop | dacoburn, you could analyse dpkg-deb | 21:29 |
| ikonia | furenku: why does it say -rt | 21:29 |
| ikonia | creature: pardon ? | 21:29 |
| furenku | ikonia, my kernel is realtime | 21:29 |
| furenku | ikonia, but your apt command did work | 21:29 |
| FuzzyOne | lo everyone | 21:29 |
| ikonia | furenku: ahh your using the one ubuntustudio built | 21:29 |
| zachb | Okay, any reason why everything keeps crashing, and sometimes to a point where it will not re-launch? | 21:29 |
| furenku | ikonia, it was not "kernel-headers" but "linux-headers" | 21:29 |
| furenku | ikonia, yes I am using ubuntu studio | 21:29 |
| Gnea | zachb: probably. | 21:29 |
| Jack_Sparrow | furenku Are you running ubuntu-studio? | 21:29 |
| Gnea | zachb: have you examined syslog? | 21:29 |
| ikonia | furenku: linux-headers-2.6.24-19 | 21:29 |
| creature | ikonia: If the laptop has the USB key plugged in, it boots. If it does not have it plugged in, it does not ('Error 24' at stage 1.5, IIRC). | 21:29 |
| FuzzyOne | anyone have expirience with firhol? | 21:29 |
| zachb | gnea: yep, but nothing in particular | 21:29 |
| ikonia | furenku: the rt was causing an issue | 21:30 |
| furenku | Jack_Sparrow, yes | 21:30 |
| Gnea | zachb: dunno then. how often does it happen? | 21:30 |
| ikonia | creature: yes, thats a common issue | 21:30 |
| furenku | ikonia, I just used uname-r, so I guess there's no problem | 21:30 |
| Jack_Sparrow | furenku THey have their own channel that might work better for you | 21:30 |
| ohno | rodold, custom base install from command line would be fastest running, but not exactly novice material. maybe try xubuntu or ubuntulite | 21:30 |
| hateball | geirha: Yes, tried with a whole slew of players... on both 32 bit and 64. This must be some very special version of ASF | 21:30 |
| ikonia | furenku: nope all fine | 21:30 |
| furenku | ikonia, thankx | 21:30 |

| Gnea | danya: what commands have you performed prior to this? ./configure and make? | 21:38 |
| ikonia | luther: the problem is the configuration on your router - nothing to do with ubuntu | 21:38 |
| fez_ | when ever I type the sudo aptitude install xorg driver fglrx | 21:38 |
| danya | Gnea : yea | 21:38 |

| ubuntu_ | bavardage: i have that too.. yes | 21:40 |
| Sonderblade | ikonia: whether i should need it if i dont have raid | 21:40 |
| bavardage | ubuntu_: probably better to go to #gentoo for help with gentoo :P | 21:40 |
| ikonia | Sonderblade: it is looking for a root file system on either a raid device or a lvm device, | 21:40 |
| new_user | clautsh: Is that a server or a client though? | 21:40 |
| pr0gr4mm3r | You mean the Restricted Driver window or the screen resolution tool? | 21:40 |
| ubuntu_ | bavardage: erm.. i have all three actually gentoo ubuntu and vista :S | 21:40 |

| sarah_bear | i tried that actionparsnip | 22:20 |

| ActionParsnip | sarah_bear: what issues are you getting? | 22:20 |
| sarah_bear | i get an error "E: Broken packages | 22:20 |
| ActionParsnip | sarah_bear: what packages? | 22:20 |
| Maeva | sarah_bear: Add AWN repository to /etc/apt/sources.list or sudo apt-get install avant-window-navigator-bzr awn-core-applets-bzr awn-core-applets-bzr | 22:20 |

| Maeva | sarah_bear: http://devolio.com/blog/archives/82-Installing-Avant-Window-Navigator-in-Gutsy.html | 22:21 |
| ActionParsnip | andax: id use ; instead of &&, only install if update succeeds | 22:21 |
| Ictinike | ActionParsnip, Yes it was just an error. :) | 22:21 |
| bleh | How could i setup SWAP on 1GB memory, i forgot to do it on the install. | 22:21 |
| andax | ActionParsnip: why proceed when update exited with != 0? :) | 22:21 |
| Gnea | sarah_bear: tried apt-cache search avant ? | 22:22 |

| ActionParsnip | andax: thats what && would achieve | 22:22 |
| julle_ | Is it okey to delete the .deb files in /var/cache/archives or does synaptic or any other program need them to be able to delete the program later on? | 22:22 |
| sarah_bear | Gnea nope. no mathes | 22:22 |
| Gnea | julle_: apt-get clean will take care of it | 22:22 |
| ActionParsnip | julle_: use sudo apt-get clean instead | 22:22 |
| unop | julle_, sudo apt-get autoclean # probably better | 22:22 |
| Gnea | sarah_bear: something's wrong on your end then, i get a neat list. are you using gutsy or hardy? | 22:23 |
| Miesco_ | Is there going to be an Ubuntu 8.08? | 22:23 |
| Pirate_Hunter | sarah_bear: im sure last time i installed avant that package bzr had to be added manually through source list to show in resp, but had to look online for it | 22:23 |
| andax | julle_: it's completely okay to delete the directory /var/cache/apt if that was the question. | 22:23 |
| sarah_bear | i added, deb http://download.tuxfamily.org/syzygy42 gutsy avant-window-navigator | 22:23 |
| sarah_bear | deb-src http://download.tuxfamily.org/syzygy42 gutsy avant-window-navigator | 22:23 |

| Miesco_ | ActionParsnip: What? | 22:28 |
| ActionParsnip | Miesco_: just wipe and restore the files from backup | 22:28 |
| sarah_bear | unop, that is what the wiki said to use | 22:29 |
| Miesco_ | ActionParsnip: backedup where? | 22:29 |
| ActionParsnip | Miesco_: easy | 22:29 |
| ActionParsnip | Miesco_: you dont have a backup? | 22:29 |

| Miesco_ | backup of what? | 22:29 |
| ActionParsnip | Miesco_: the 50Gb of music | 22:29 |
| ompaul | sarah_bear, that is bad information, gutsy repos for gusty installs, other things may work but as you are finding out they may not | 22:29 |
| Miesco_ | How do I do it | 22:29 |
| ActionParsnip | Miesco_: you buy an external device and copy the stuff over every night | 22:30 |
| ActionParsnip | Miesco_: like a backup | 22:30 |
| Miesco_ | Okay | 22:30 |
| Miesco_ | Oh like a usb hard drive | 22:30 |

| paxed | well, that was interesting. just installed hardy heron, from the alt cd on my laptop, and the first software updates were taking too long. scrollkeeper hung up during the update... | 22:31 |
| Miesco_ | ActionParsnip: That can happen? | 22:31 |
| Miesco_ | ActionParsnip: So I should go get a backup hard drive? | 22:32 |
| ActionParsnip | Miesco_: hard drives fail man | 22:32 |
| andax | Miesco_: backup is essential. | 22:32 |
| andax | Miesco_, hdds die from time to time. | 22:32 |

| Miesco_ | andax: What do you use to backup? | 22:32 |
| afallenhope | turns out was a permission werror | 22:32 |

| jeyk | Hi, I just did a network install of Ubuntu on my machine, and I've ended up without an X server. How do I tell ubuntu to fetch me an X server (preferrably with some autodetection to figure out the right one)? | 22:33 |
| Jack_Sparrow | Miesco_ YOu can get a usb adapter that you can use on ide/sata or the small laptop drives for about $15 | 22:34 |
| ActionParsnip | jeyk: sudo apt-get install ubuntu-desktop | 22:34 |
| jeyk | I see a bunch of packages in aptitude that start with xserver- but do I really have to guess which one is right for me? | 22:34 |
| unop | jeyk, do you want a desktop environment? | 22:34 |
| jeyk | ActionParsnip: perfect thanks | 22:34 |
| andax | Miesco_, personally i have a crontab that mirrors my home partition to another box every morning. ( this is my way, find your own .. ) | 22:34 |
| freeflowcauvery | I've not had good experiences with Maxtor drives either. 2 separate USB 2.0 external drives failed on me. | 22:34 |
| jeyk | unop: yes, suddenly I do :) | 22:34 |
| jeyk | unop: it used to be a headless fileserver | 22:34 |
| ActionParsnip | jeyk: you needed xorg but its a dep of ubuntu-desktop so it'll be installed | 22:34 |
| unop | jeyk, ubuntu-desktop brings in the full gnome desktop environment .. it might be overkill, but it's the easiest way | 22:34 |
| Pirate_Hunter | jeyk: if you just want xorg just type sudo aptitude install xorg and than get the windows manager of your choice unless you reall want ubutnu desktop :/ | 22:35 |
| Miesco_ | Whats a good external drive, seagate? | 22:35 |
| jeyk | thats ok, i have disk space, and i can switch to stumpwm later :) | 22:35 |

| Juhaz | they can all make good drives, and they all occasionally make bad drives, brand tells you pretty much nothing, and anecdotes in irc even less. I couldn't find a hard drive to buy anyone if I wrote off the entire manufacturer each time one by them failed. | 22:38 |

Try the storage method. It will work. 2) if it doesnt.. pick up a USB card reader from the nearest store and put the SD card into it. But this is a workaround. ( note: MMC cards are not supported ).

| seekseek | how easy is it for someone to break my ubuntu password and username? | 23:25 |
| soundray | seekseek: there is no security for a machine where you have console access. The login and pass are good protection against remote attacks, though | 23:25 |
| kevinO | can someone tell me why i cant install twister from apt | 23:25 |
| ActionParsnip | seekseek: very hard indeed | 23:25 |
| ActionParsnip | !twister | 23:25 |
| ubottu | Sorry, I don't know anything about twister | 23:25 |
| seekseek | how can I securly protect my Ubuntu that nobody can access it? | 23:26 |
| ActionParsnip | !info twister | 23:26 |
| ubottu | Package twister does not exist in hardy | 23:26 |
| andax | seekseek: does the 'attacker' have access to your computer? ( can he use the keyboard? ) | 23:26 |
| kevinO | sorry twisted* | 23:26 |

| soundray | seekseek: you can encrypt your data to protect against sniffing | 23:26 |
| seekseek | seeing the ubuntu password and username is so easy to defeat, how can I secure my ubuntu so nobody can access it? | 23:27 |
| andax | seekseek, if he can use the keyboard during boot then everything that's not encrypted can be read. | 23:27 |
| leeroberts | seekseek: you can set a password on your bios | 23:27 |
| alpinestr | soundray: now I get warning: failed to get module paths from '/var/log/Xorg.2.log' - falling back to default Xlib: extension "XFree86-VidModeExtension" missing on display ":2.0". and X crashes after a while | 23:27 |
| ActionParsnip | seekseek: that gives you access to the passwd file, if they are encrypted then it doesnt do a lot | 23:27 |
| seekseek | how can I encrypt the whole Ubuntu partition then? | 23:27 |

| maybeway36 | seekseek: you can also set a grub password, a bios password, and make HD be the only boot device | 23:27 |
| Pirate_Hunter | seekseek: dont use ubuntu heck dont use the pc no one can access that, otherwise encryption but youre being paranoid | 23:27 |

| Coyote` | hi there, i'm trying to play quake 3, i got the game running, but i can't read the menu, it's scrambled, and i got funny color in game :/ | 23:49 |
| Coyote` | anyone know why it does that ? | 23:49 |
| hateball | RadiCaL: sudo services-admin. There's some performance to be gained by disabling at least tracker and stuff like bluetooth if you dont need it... But other than that you shouldnt need to worry | 23:49 |
| === user__ is now known as SkinnYPup | ||
| Coyote` | i'm on a nvidia, with propritery drivers | 23:49 |
| seekseek | kitche: when I type df -h it says my ubuntu partition is sda1. do I replace the /dev/sdb1 in that guide with /dev/sda1 ? | 23:49 |
| underandy_ | anyone can help me figure out why my wireless net doesent work on my eee 900 pc? | 23:49 |
| kitche | seekseek: yes if that's your drive | 23:50 |
| seekseek | kitche: ok | 23:50 |
| hateball | cygoku_: Are you using Gnash and not Adobe Flash player? If so, try switching | 23:50 |
| alpinestr | how do I find out which version of X server am I running via terminal command | 23:50 |
| andax | nach_, everything looks ok, don't you see your device under the 'Places' menu when plugged in? | 23:50 |
| soundray | underandy_: it needs a wireless driver that wasn't available at the time the current ubuntu release was frozen. | 23:50 |
| cygoku_ | hateball, I am using the non-free version of flash from the Hardy Heron repo. | 23:50 |
| underandy_ | soundray, buts its avaible to get it work?? | 23:51 |
| RadiCaL | hateball: ok, i'll check em out, thanks. | 23:51 |
| nach_ | no ... i see nothing | 23:51 |
| markg85 | Hey, can someone help me with a technical question..? | 23:51 |
| kitche | alpinestr: X --version doesn't tell you anything it will be 1.x.x but that should tell you which version you have if you convert it to what most people know | 23:51 |
| hateball | cygoku_: got a direct link to the stuff that aint working? | 23:51 |
| soundray | underandy_: try the array.org kernel, it's supposed to solve this and some other problems: http://www.array.org/ubuntu/index.html | 23:51 |
| RadiCaL | hateball: got an error. ** (services-admin:17812): CRITICAL **: Unable to lookup session information for process '17812' | 23:51 |
| nach_ | do i have to manually mount it ? | 23:51 |
| RadiCaL | hateball: I am assume that isnt something to worry about? | 23:51 |
| Pici | alpinestr: head /var/log/Xorg.0.log should list it | 23:51 |
| ompaul | Pici, pm | 23:51 |
| seekseek | kitche: instead of typing those commands from the website. can I use the GUI from truecrupt? when I type truecrypt, it opens up a GUI window | 23:52 |
| hateball | RadiCaL: Nah, as long as it opens properly... | 23:52 |
| alpinestr | THX | 23:52 |
| underandy_ | soundray, oh I already did that | 23:52 |
| underandy_ | soundray thing is | 23:52 |
| underandy_ | I can see my card in iwconfig | 23:52 |
| SkinnYPup | I want to use my laptop with an external monitor, but don't have a resolution high enough to fill the screen. Is there a probe for X or do I need to write a new xorg.conf ? | 23:52 |
| del_ | dist-upgrade hangs with: Generating locales... en_AU.UTF-8... | 23:52 |
| kitche | seekseek: probably I never used truecrypt myself since I use a native encrypt system from my OS | 23:52 |
| RadiCaL | hateball: well, everything is greyed out and I cant uncheck anything. also, this will effect what it loads at boot too right? not just this session. | 23:52 |
| underandy_ | I can start networkmanager and I see my network but I CANT connect to it | 23:52 |
| del_ | Anyone seen this before? | 23:52 |
| TiredWolf | andax, not that as far as i'm aware, recent canon cameras do *not* behave as USB mass storage device, but rather as Picture Transfer Protocol ones. just for the record. | 23:52 |
| del_ | What to do? | 23:52 |
| cygoku_ | hateball, no I don't have suck a link, but I can tell it's a video that I am trying to see trough Facebook. | 23:52 |
| soundray | underandy_: did you install the new kernel and reboot? | 23:52 |
| underandy_ | soundray yes | 23:53 |
| del_ | Maybe I should try reboot? | 23:53 |
| hateball | RadiCaL: Launch it without sudo and click unlock. That should work. It's only for systemboot stuff, user-related things are under system -> settings -> sessions | 23:53 |
| underandy_ | wired network work but I cant connect to the wireless once | 23:53 |
| hateball | cygoku_: Well I've no idea about facebook so cant test myself, sorry | 23:53 |
| gregge | Help anyone? Amsn says it can't access /dev/audio when I try to fix my audio. Any help please? | 23:53 |
| seekseek | kitche: whats an a native encrypt system? | 23:53 |
| RadiCaL | it worked hateball. | 23:54 |
| soundray | underandy_: okay, I've just installed the same on mine and will reboot now. If I don't come back, it hasn't worked for me either... | 23:54 |
| Pici | gregge: is your user in the audio group? | 23:54 |
| alpinestr | ok my problem is everytime I restart I have to change resolution to higher and for some reason when I do gksudo displayconfig-gtk and keep the settings it doesn't save it for next restart | 23:54 |
| kitche | seekseek: GEOM it's part of FreeBSD | 23:54 |
| hateball | cygoku_: Just make sure you dont have both gnash and adobe installed at the same time, that can create some weird situations. about:plugins in firefox should tell you | 23:54 |
| alpinestr | so I have to do same thing over and over | 23:54 |
| RadiCaL | hateball, are there any notable services that should be disabled for a quicker boot? | 23:54 |
| erisco | I cannot get any sound out of my logitec USB headphones. The OS picks them up, but doesn't use them for sound output (have not tested input). any ideas? | 23:54 |
| seekseek | kitche: you run FreeBSD, not ubuntu? | 23:54 |
| gregge | Pici: Honestly, I'm not sure how to check | 23:54 |
| kitche | seekseek: correct | 23:55 |
| Pici | gregge: open a terminal, and type: groups | 23:55 |
| seekseek | kitche: so why are you in #ubuntu? :) | 23:55 |
| del_ | Cannot kill process locale | 23:55 |
| cygoku_ | hateball, everything is fine in my about:plugins from firefox | 23:55 |
| del_ | Tried kill -9 but still won't go | 23:55 |
| del_ | Anyone? | 23:55 |
| alpinestr | anyone knows how to fix this | 23:55 |
| kitche | seekseek: I m in couple of channels :) I just know my way around linux overall | 23:55 |
| RadiCaL | hateball: is there somewhere i can get a description of what each service is for? | 23:56 |
| gregge | Pici: this came up " adm dialout cdrom floppy audio dip video plugdev fuse lpadmin admin sambashare" | 23:56 |
| seekseek | kitche: :) | 23:56 |
| Pici | gregge: hmm. Thats normal | 23:56 |
| alpinestr | ok my problem is everytime I restart I have to change resolution to higher and for some reason when I do gksudo displayconfig-gtk and keep the settings it doesn't save it for next restart | 23:56 |
| alpinestr | :( | 23:56 |
| opssrah | hai | 23:57 |
| === Kopfgeldjaeger is now known as ktvbot | ||
| hateball | RadiCaL: The wiki, forums, or google ;) But other than tracker there's nothing you should need disable really... You wont notice any real differences as they are daemons | 23:57 |
| bastid_raZor | del_; there is a bug for that issue.. let me find the link | 23:57 |
| [daren] | just curious, anyone know of any projects of getting linux on a blackberry phone? | 23:57 |
| TiredWolf | !ot | [daren] | 23:58 |
| tripps | machine used to be blazing fast, but now since update firefox crawls at rendering pages, e.g., in-line images render one by one. disabled compiz - same thing. typing also missing lots of characters, repeating ohers, etc. all apps slower it seems. what happened? | 23:58 |
| seekseek | kitche: that website desnt work oh well :( those commands give errors | 23:58 |
| erisco | crimsun, hey, you there? | 23:58 |
| seekseek | anyone here set up truecypt on Ubuntu? | 23:58 |
| Pici | gregge: I'm not too familiar with amsn, Have you been playing with any properties of /dev to try to get it to work | 23:58 |
| opssrah | who can help me to enable my graphic card driver | 23:58 |
| ubottu | [daren]: #ubuntu is the Ubuntu support channel, #ubuntu+1 supports the development version of Ubuntu and #ubuntu-offtopic is for random chatter. Welcome! | 23:58 |
| gregge | practically all other software has working audio apart from amsn. When I try to setup the video, audio and mic. Audio and mic refuse to run, but video does. It says it can't gain access to write in /dev/audio | 23:58 |
| gregge | Pici: no | 23:58 |
| RadiCaL | hateball: alright, i've disabled the ones I dont need, like printing & bluetooth along with tracker. My system boots in about a minute, but the hardware is very new. Is there something else I can do to cut it down? | 23:59 |
| gregge | Pici: no one else seems to suffer from this issue but it's happened on two pc's for me, so i figure it's something I'm doing, even though I haven't changed anything | 23:59 |
| RadiCaL | hateball; and thanks for the help so far :) | 23:59 |
