| timothywcrane | favorite game, killer update, but update broken. It was worth a shot. | 00:00 |
| mmap__ | This is embarassing, I've been using Linux since 1994 and I couldn't figure this one out on my own :-Z | 00:00 |
| goodbyegravity | Dark_Shadow: Oh, sorry. But it sounds silly that it knows its own IP and still can't connect outside of itself. | 00:00 |
| timothywcrane | will do. grest idea | 00:00 |
| Dark_Shadow | :/ | 00:01 |
| Dark_Shadow | so i can't solve this problem.? | 00:01 |
| goodbyegravity | mmap__: Check the manual and see if you can set it in Disk Mode or something like that. | 00:01 |
| goodbyegravity | Dark_Shadow: I dunno. I thought your problem was much simpler than it is; I'm sure someone knows. :) | 00:01 |

| TiredWolf | slammed87d21, i'm *really* afraid i can't help with wifi, but i'll still give a bit of advice anyway: describe which step of the installation you're stuck at, which errors you get if relevant, etc, and ask for guidance. "anyone good with x" hardly ever gets you anything. | 00:15 |

| ishmandoo | will it not be mounted it i use the live cd? | 00:21 |
| vnieto | I don understan | 00:21 |
| TiredWolf | ishmandoo: becuse no valid root password is set on a default ubuntu install, and none is intended to be set | 00:21 |
| wols | !nvidia | jockl | 00:21 |
| ubottu | jockl: For Ati/NVidia/Matrox video cards, see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/BinaryDriverHowto | 00:21 |

| wols | vnieto: reinstall. and no I am not joking | 00:21 |
| nickrud | vnieto, sorry, saw an error you had with apt, but if you're getting segmenation faults with rm as well | 00:21 |
| TiredWolf | ishmandoo: shame on you then. anyway, yes, you need to use a live CD. | 00:21 |
| ishmandoo | why shame on me? | 00:21 |
| ishmandoo | was that a bad move/ | 00:21 |
| wols | ishmandoo: irrelevant. mounted partitions can't be resized. end of it. either you use a live cd or no resizing | 00:21 |
| ishmandoo | but still... | 00:22 |
| wols | !no root | 00:22 |
| ubottu | Sorry, I don't know anything about no root | 00:22 |

| ubottu | We don't support a root password so don't suggest one unless you are going to be here 24/7 to help someone who has problems as a result of having one, many thanks ;-) | 00:22 |
| ishmandoo | was it bad? | 00:22 |
| vnieto | i seee, the error is with sudo | 00:22 |
| ShdwShinobi | Hello, I just installed a fresh version of ubuntu 8.04.1 and installed the restriced driver for my video card. Now when I boot up, nothing loads, I can only access terminal by press ctrl+alt+1. | 00:22 |
| wols | ishmandoo: yes. possibly dangerous and not needed | 00:22 |
| TiredWolf | ishmandoo: because there is no really valid reason to set a root password, if you want a root shell, you just type "sudo -i" and there you get it. on the other hand, there have been several issues in past versions of Ubuntu when root passwords were set | 00:22 |
| TiredWolf | !root > ishmandoo | 00:22 |
| ubottu | ishmandoo, please see my private message | 00:22 |
| goodbyegravity | What kind of problems arising from just having a root password other than the security issues? | 00:22 |
| goodbyegravity | arise* | 00:22 |
| vnieto | change my quetion: " when I use sudo have a segmentation fault" | 00:23 |
| RawSushi | sup | 00:23 |
| qr_ | goodbyegravity: none, but the people in this channel will jump all over you if you even think about root passwords | 00:23 |
| Vooloo | is there a shortcut command to hide/show all windows? instead of pressing the littl button | 00:23 |
| TiredWolf | goodbyegravity, hopefully none or not many on current version of Ubuntu. pretty annoying problems arose with older version. still, Ubuntu is build and tested with "no root" in mind, so that's not a smart move to make | 00:23 |
| goodbyegravity | Ah | 00:23 |
| ishmandoo | does everyone here use ubuntu? | 00:23 |
| goodbyegravity | Well, there are some programs that say they need to be run as root and don't accept sudo. | 00:23 |
| ShdwShinobi | I would be... if I could see it | 00:23 |

| MuzikJunkie2 | anyone know how to apply this patch? http://alsa.opensrc.org/index.php/Edirol_UA-4FX | 00:24 |
| joejoecircusboy | goodbyegravity: just do 'sudo -i' if you want a root shell | 00:24 |
| mlynn5 | can anyone help me with a problem with a samba share between 2 ubuntu machines? | 00:24 |
| npope-laptop | ishmandoo: yes | 00:24 |
| goodbyegravity | Ah, I didn't know that. I don't ever login as root, so I assumed I wouldn't have a problem. | 00:24 |
| ShdwShinobi | TiredWolf, do you know how I can figure out what's wrong with my setup? When I boot, it never comes to the login screen. It stays black. | 00:24 |
| jockl | thanks it worked. but why is on nvidia.com no entry for a GeForceo Go 7400? | 00:24 |
| georgy_28 | !nfs | 00:24 |
| ubottu | nfs is the network file system. See https://help.ubuntu.com/community/SettingUpNFSHowTo for information on installing and configuring NFS. | 00:24 |
| qr_ | mlynn5: why would you use samba to share between two linux machines? Why not NFS? | 00:24 |
| mmap__ | ah, goodbyegravity: looks like (according to memorex support guy, who was actually really cool and an ubuntu user himself) this device requires MTP | 00:25 |
| wols | jockl: ask nvidia.com not us | 00:25 |
| mlynn5 | I had no idea i could! | 00:25 |
| vnieto | upsss. tghe error is with fprint (fingerprint= | 00:25 |
| RequinB41 | how can I convert a bunch of scanned images into one pdf file with one image per page? | 00:25 |
| goodbyegravity | mmap__: Yeah, I figured. If it had a disk mode, it would list OSX as being supported. The manual only has instructions for MTP. | 00:25 |
| wols | RequinB41: openoffice | 00:25 |
| qr_ | mlynn5: nfs is significantly simpler than samba, you should check it out | 00:25 |
| TiredWolf | RequinB41: possibly there's pnmtopdf, not sure | 00:25 |
| mmap__ | well I wasn't even familiar with MTP (probably because it's a Microsoft protocol), but I have just discovered libmtp | 00:25 |
| mmap__ | we shall give 'er a try | 00:25 |
| mlynn5 | qr_: thanks! i'll check it out right now | 00:26 |
| goodbyegravity | Yeah, it's annoying stuff. | 00:26 |
| mmap__ | :-) | 00:26 |
| RequinB41 | wols: I hope you mean automatically - I don't want to copy and paste the images by hand into OOo | 00:26 |

| Kumo | Evening, all. | 00:27 |
| mlynn5 | georgy_28: thank you too | 00:27 |
| goodbyegravity | Do you mean type the Latin characters "abc"? I'm not familiar with the Korean keyboard, but for the Chinese one, you can't input both at the same time. | 00:27 |
| Kumo | I'm up and running on 6.06 | 00:27 |
| goodbyegravity | (Without switching profiles, I mean.) | 00:28 |
| minus198 | Haha! 6.06 xD | 00:28 |
| pqlsztjoz | goodbyegravity that's fine; just type abc enter | 00:28 |
| minus198 | Kumo> Why are you running 6.06? | 00:28 |
| georgy_28 | mlynn5, : np :) | 00:28 |
| Kumo | Because the LiveCD I burned for 8.04 was corrupted. | 00:28 |
| Kumo | I figured I can update from Drake | 00:28 |
| RequinB41 | !upgrade | 00:28 |
| ubottu | For upgrading, see the instructions at https://help.ubuntu.com/community/UpgradeNotes | 00:28 |
| RequinB41 | Kumo: I would have just re-burned hardy - it's a lot less messy | 00:29 |
| minus198 | Kumo> Yes.. Though It's quite buggy. When I did it, I had to completely reinstall my system. | 00:29 |
| minus198 | Kumo> so be sure to take backups | 00:29 |
| geirha | Kumo: Yes, dapper to hardy is a supported upgrade. | 00:29 |
| Kumo | That's what I get for getting cheap CD-Rs | 00:29 |
| mmap__ | hmm, ubuntu says I already had libmtp7 installed, does it require that I run something in order to use it? | 00:29 |
| goodbyegravity | pqlsztjoz: I don't have any installed, so I can't test it, Sorry. :) | 00:29 |
| Flannel | pqlsztjoz: You might try #ubuntu-ko | 00:29 |
| ompaul | Kumo, no, it is what you get for burning fast, turn the burn speed right down | 00:29 |
| Kumo | I'm pretty much brand new to this stuff. | 00:29 |
| pqlsztjoz | goodbyegravity so it doesn't suport it | 00:29 |
| goodbyegravity | I haven't installed any other languages on this computer. | 00:29 |
| Kumo | I was burning 16x | 00:29 |
| OldFarter | Anyone help me with nvidia 8200 gfx card PLEASE | 00:30 |
| ompaul | Kumo, I suggest 4 and if the burner won't support it fine, let it adjust | 00:30 |
| Kumo | At any rate, I'm here from XP Pro on a Dell Latitude D600 | 00:30 |
| Kumo | My desktop will remain XP, because of the games. | 00:30 |
| ompaul | Kumo, I would get a new iso image and start from there | 00:30 |
| theRealBall | guys how's ReiserFS for a default filesystem? | 00:30 |
| goodbyegravity | theRealBall: Solid for me. | 00:31 |
| Kumo | here's one question. Does Drake have burning software natively installed? | 00:31 |
| Flannel | Kumo: it does | 00:31 |
| ompaul | Kumo, yes | 00:31 |
| OldFarter | I just cant make the nvidia card work | 00:31 |
| geirha | mmap__: lib-packages usually only contain libraries, so you probably need a program that utilizes it ... | 00:31 |

| spiritssight | Does any one know of a simple script that I can run to download and install threm to make my system look and feel like either Vista or Xp | 00:32 |
| goodbyegravity | I would just take the bloody thing back. :p | 00:32 |
| mlynn5 | ok, nfs question: the example shows 'rw' in the brackets to make the access read/write. would it just be 'r' to make it read only? | 00:32 |
| mlynn5 | (in /etc/exports) | 00:32 |
| geirha | spiritssight: you'll probably find some gtk-themes that look like vista at http://gnome-look.org | 00:32 |
| rundlue | how do you play a whole folder in mplayer? | 00:33 |
| goodbyegravity | spiritssight: If you mean the fonts, go to the Ubuntu forums; there are several threads that describe this. | 00:33 |
| geirha | spiritssight: you just drag and drop a theme into System -> preferences -> apperance prog | 00:33 |
| georgy_28 | mmap__, rhythmbox can do it, but you need to enable the mtp plugin | 00:34 |
| nusakan | how do I change the permissions on a directory? | 00:34 |
| m1ke | which version of ubuntu is provided on the website? Heron,Gibbon,Fawn,Drake ??? | 00:34 |
| goodbyegravity | Heron, currently, but it has them all. | 00:34 |
| pqlsztjoz | ? | 00:34 |
| spiritssight | so I go to a website and just drag and drop them into where? am I geting this right | 00:35 |
| zelrikriando | I cant edit pdf's :'(((( | 00:35 |
| bastid_raZor | nusakan; what do you want the permissions to be? | 00:35 |
| spiritssight | which site would you recommend for this stuff | 00:35 |
| nusakan | accesible to all users | 00:36 |
| nusakan | right now its just root | 00:36 |
| Kumo | Can I expect any difficulties networking with my XP computers at home? | 00:37 |

| bastid_raZor | nusakan; if you're sure you know what you're doing... you could goof up things.. anyway... sudo chown -R user:group directory.. the group needs to have all users in that group if you're not the only person going to be viewing/using | 00:44 |
| KenBW2 | JD13: How much lower end? | 00:44 |
| bastid_raZor | nusakan; user = your username | 00:45 |
| JD13 | I believe it only has 128mb of RAM. Not sure on the processor. It has run Windows 2000 though. | 00:45 |
| KenBW2 | JD13: you need at minimum 256MB for LiveCD | 00:45 |
| KenBW2 | JD13: have you tried the alternate install? | 00:45 |
| bastid_raZor | nusakan; which folder are you wanting to change permissions on? | 00:46 |
| JD13 | Ah I see. No they don't want it installed on the computer. Just trying it out. Is there any other way to run it off a LiveCD? | 00:46 |
| KenBW2 | JD13: not with that little RAM no | 00:46 |
| Kumo | Ram is cheap | 00:46 |
| Kumo | They're practically giving it away in cereal boxes. | 00:47 |
| KenBW2 | mmm, cereal. might get some | 00:47 |
| JD13 | Ok thank you for the help. | 00:48 |
| Kumo | Might get some scotch later | 00:48 |

| mmap__ | after much tomfoolery, chicanery and balleyhoo, i was able to modify libmtp's usermap and rules file with the bus and device id's and run detect, and viola, a /dev/sdb | 00:50 |

| aguthrie | where do I get the "kernel modules" packages described here? https://help.ubuntu.com/community/VMware/Player | 00:53 |
| aguthrie | right now when I run the perl install script it's asking me to compile kernel modules... | 00:53 |
| aguthrie | I think I can avoid doing that, though | 00:53 |
| mmap__ | Kumo: you have something against stringed instruments, I think they're rather nifty. | 00:54 |
| mmap__ | Sometimes I spurt out "cello" for no reason, though non-sequitur it's quite cathartic | 00:54 |
| * mmap__ blinks | 00:54 | |
| aguthrie | I don't know why they took the vmware player stuff out of universe | 00:55 |

| td123 | wow, I can't believe this channel is soo dead :) | 01:00 |
| dmsuperman | So I made a note to myself that I should run "sudo apt-get install preload" when I have internet again. I've done so, but now want to see where I can configure it/see the difference it has made. Where can I do so? | 01:00 |
| kindofabuzz | dmsuperman: good question, i'd like to know myself | 01:01 |
| elmiguel428 | Hi, I am new to ubuntu and I am having trouble fully installing a .jar file. What do I need to fully install it. | 01:01 |
| kindofabuzz | why is #ubuntu so quite? or is something wrong with my irc? | 01:02 |
| aguthrie | elmiguel428: what jar file? | 01:02 |
| kindofabuzz | .jar is java | 01:02 |
| Vooloo | if I want to add the alt+f2 run app into my "Applications" menu, what is the application "command" to display this prompt? | 01:02 |
| td123 | elmiguel428: you have to have java installed to run a .jar file | 01:02 |
| georgy_28 | elmiguel428, = try java -jar file.jar | 01:03 |

| FFEMTcJ | is anyone familiar with awn and/or screenlets.. i cant get either one to load | 01:03 |
| _DEKI_1_ | wie gehts ihr penner | 01:03 |
| kindofabuzz | dmsuperman: yeah but there's got to be some kind of file somewhere | 01:04 |
| dmsuperman | kindofabuzz, http://www.techthrob.com/tech/preload.php says /etc/preload.conf | 01:04 |

| Fezzler | I finally just deleted OpenOffice because it kept locking up my Hardy install. Is there another open "office" suite? | 01:04 |
| dmsuperman | oooh and it describes the options | 01:04 |
| dmsuperman | neat! | 01:04 |
| kindofabuzz | dmsuperman: /etc/preload.conf | 01:05 |
| dmsuperman | kindofabuzz, yeah that's what I said | 01:05 |
| cdm10 | Fezzler: check out AbiWord and Gnumeric. There's also KOffice. | 01:05 |
| BlazeBoy | I receive an error related to processor on loading any one CAN HELP? | 01:05 |
| cdm10 | BlazeBoy: can you tell us the error? | 01:05 |
| Blaqlight | man I actually miss the original default ubuntu look. | 01:05 |
| kindofabuzz | dmsuperman: oh lol i was running whereis and missed it | 01:05 |
| Fezzler | cdm10: Can I run a "K" app in GNOME install? | 01:05 |
| kindofabuzz | yup | 01:05 |
| cdm10 | Fezzler: yep, but the first one you install will pull in a bunch of KDE dependencies. | 01:06 |
| dmsuperman | haha | 01:06 |
| cdm10 | Fezzler: as long as you have disk space, it's fine | 01:06 |
| BlazeBoy | i says that the microcode is wrong and loading another one | 01:06 |
| dmsuperman | Fezzler, have to install KDE libs to do it, but aptitude will do that for you | 01:06 |
| cdm10 | BlazeBoy: does the system work after this? | 01:06 |
| BlazeBoy | yes | 01:06 |
| cdm10 | BlazeBoy: I don't see the problem, then | 01:06 |
| Fezzler | cdm10: Are OpenOffice and KOffice based on the same stuff...chance that will lock up too? | 01:06 |
| cdm10 | BlazeBoy: when do you see the error? | 01:06 |
| dmsuperman | Fezzler, if you're really low on disk space, or just don't want to install a ton of libraries, i suggest finding another app | 01:06 |
| BlazeBoy | but it reduce performance after a while | 01:06 |
| cdm10 | Fezzler: they're not based on the same stuff, but they use the same formats. | 01:06 |
| BlazeBoy | when restart it come back just fine | 01:07 |
| Blaqlight | how do I totally remove the old user off my system, I want this one to be the new default user. | 01:07 |
| cdm10 | BlazeBoy: are you sure the performance loss has to do with this error message? | 01:07 |
| cdm10 | Blaqlight: you should be able to do this through System>Admin>Users and Groups | 01:07 |
| BlazeBoy | i think yes , | 01:07 |
| Fezzler | dmsuperman: Your opinion is I will get too much stuff I don't need with Koffice? | 01:07 |
| BlazeBoy | but i want to clear this message to be sure | 01:07 |
| cdm10 | BlazeBoy: often, if the system's performance decreases over time while it's on, it means something's using a lot of memory... can you see if your memory is filling up when this happens?/ | 01:07 |
| Fezzler | cdm10: Is that the same Abiword from years ago? | 01:08 |
| BlazeBoy | no, i checked this , it's not | 01:08 |
| Blaqlight | should I move that old user's stuff to this user or what? | 01:08 |
| cdm10 | Fezzler: Possibly... but I'm sure they've improved it | 01:08 |
| Fezzler | cdm10: Didn't Lotus Word come from AbiWord? | 01:08 |
| BlazeBoy | and the temp is 40C | 01:08 |
| dmsuperman | Fezzler, "too much" and "stuff you don't need" are a matter of perspective. I'm one who doesn't like differing interfaces, or unnecessary extra libraries, so I just stick to what works in GNOME, however many run KDE apps with no problems at all | 01:08 |
| cdm10 | Fezzler: I'm not sure. | 01:08 |
| BlazeBoy | my proc is celeron 2.4 | 01:08 |
| cdm10 | BlazeBoy: that's a fine temp. | 01:08 |
| dmsuperman | Fezzler, so it's really up to you. It doesn't hurt to install it most of the time | 01:08 |
| Fezzler | Non-OpenOffice database? | 01:09 |
| mmap__ | Fezzler: Not sure but I know Lotus 1-2-3 came from Mitch Kapour, one of the earlier users of the Well (which I myself used in the late 80's) and a co-founder of the Electronic Fountier Foundation (which is actually close to where I work) | 01:09 |
| Blaqlight | I use kde-games... its the only thing I like about KDE. | 01:09 |
| freeflowcauvery | hello. quick q: how would i dump my syslog to a textfile for future read through? I tried sudo cat syslog > syslog.txt but give me the following error message "bash: syslog.txt: Permission denied | 01:09 |
| freeflowcauvery | ". | 01:09 |
| mmap__ | freeflowcauvery: because > causes the shell to try to create the file before sudu(1) is run | 01:09 |
| mmap__ | freeflowcauvery: do: sudo bash, then cp the file somewhere | 01:10 |
| Fezzler | Can I use Snaptic to install KOffice if I go that route? | 01:10 |
| dlisboa | anyone know a tool for extracting audio out of videos? | 01:10 |
| mmap__ | or make the file readable by a group and make a copy to a place your user normally has write permissions to | 01:10 |
| Hunter | someone knows how to install flash player with synaptic ? | 01:10 |
| Blaqlight | Fezzler: whats wrong with openoffice. | 01:10 |
| spiritssight | How can you get rid of KDE compeltly | 01:10 |
| freeflowcauvery | hold on ..let me try tht | 01:10 |

| mmap__ | <-- KDE fanboy ;-) | 01:11 |
| BlazeBoy | My Graphics card is NVidia 2500fx but the 3d acceleration seems disabled how can i enable it? | 01:11 |
| cdm10 | BlazeBoy: go to System>Administration>Hardware Drivers and see if the nVidia driver is listed | 01:11 |
| Fezzler | Blaqlight: Kept locking up my PC (Hardy, AMD Athlon) | 01:11 |
| Blaqlight | mmap__: I removed KDE after about 5 different programs crashing on me right after the install, on first load... | 01:12 |
| BlazeBoy | YES and inuse | 01:12 |
| BlazeBoy | YES and in use | 01:12 |
| Fezzler | Blaqlight: After HArdy install. Couldn't figure out why. | 01:12 |
| cdm10 | BlazeBoy: what makes you think acceleration is disabled? | 01:12 |
| kgx | im trying to run a cron script that triggers `zenity` to notify me of something but it doesnt seem to work. im guessing i need to set the DISPLAY environment but what should i set it to? | 01:12 |
| Blaqlight | mmm gnome. | 01:12 |

| === boy is now known as Guest28724 | ||

| Hunter | what is sudo? | 01:15 |
| droopsta915 | I installed ubuntu8.04, I can't sign in, I type the username and pasword, but it restarts and keeps asking me for the username and password????? | 01:15 |
| cdm10 | !sudo | Hunter | 01:15 |
| ubottu | Hunter: 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) | 01:15 |
| Fezzler | In Appearance Preferences>Visual Effects, how do I deselect ANY choice? | 01:15 |
| Blaqlight | Fezzler: got a copy of MS Office... most of its programs run perfectly... if nothing else.. under wine. (except outlook) | 01:15 |
| cdm10 | droopsta915: you mean it says you have the wrong username and password? | 01:15 |
| mmap__ | BlazeBoy: I'd say that's normal human nature, try something, it causes you grief, never try it again. My experience has been different as I have become used to all of the kde utilities (and use CDE ages ago when I used SunOS as a desktop operating system) | 01:15 |
| droopsta915 | no it just restarts and takes me back to the user log in screen | 01:15 |
| Fezzler | Blaqlight: Now that is interesting. Tough install? | 01:16 |
| aydh111 | mmmws | 01:16 |
| * mmap__ has actually never owned a Windows computer in his life, went directly from PC-DOS to 386bsd to Linux, never allowing a Microsoft product in his house. | 01:16 | |
| cdm10 | droopsta915: the whole system reboots, or does it just seem to crash after login? | 01:16 |
| Blaqlight | Fezzler: none is none, all the others are something. | 01:16 |

| droopsta915 | the monitor shuts off for a second then it goes to the log in screen | 01:16 |

| LiraNuna | Hey guys, I got a webserver running (apache2) and I got two admins on the server on a group "admin"; I want the web files to be accessible both to admins and webserver | 01:17 |
| droopsta915 | i am in right now through the safemode, failsafe mode | 01:17 |
| kgx | Ahadiel: didnt work unfortunately | 01:17 |
| kgx | no error either | 01:17 |
| Blaqlight | Fezzler: in relation to your visual effects thing. | 01:17 |
| cdm10 | droopsta915: try booting in recovery mode, and choose xfix (I think that's what it's called) | 01:17 |
| LiraNuna | chmod 770 | chown www-data:admin doesn't work | 01:17 |
| Ahadiel | kgx, Hrm, strange. | 01:18 |
| Blaqlight | mmap__: my laptop wouldn't run linux almost at all until just about 6 months ago. | 01:18 |
| cdm10 | BlazeBoy: what was your microcode-related issue again? And can you remember the exact text of the error message, and when you receive it? | 01:18 |
| droopsta915 | will do, thanx | 01:18 |
| Blaqlight | also came preinstalled with xp pro MCE | 01:18 |
| mmap__ | I wasn't born with a silver spoon in my mouth, that's a good way to get silver poisoning. | 01:18 |
| freeflowcauvery | mmap: thanks. I was able to cat syslog to syslog.txt and put it on my desktop after sudo bash | 01:19 |
| BlazeBoy | i can't rememeber but it says something about wrong microcode file and loading another one AI or something !! | 01:20 |
| Vooloo | to get skins, is it compiz skins, gnome skins or what? | 01:20 |
| cdm10 | BlazeBoy: It often helps to write down or take a picture of errors before asking for help with them. | 01:20 |
| Blaqlight | mmap__: because unfortunately for me, this laptop was cutting edge when I bought it. lol | 01:20 |
| Blaqlight | Vooloo: emerald for compiz-fusion-icon, GTK for any of the others. unless its KDE then QT. | 01:21 |
| bastid_raZor | LiraNuna; add both people to the group and give the group full permissions | 01:21 |
| BlazeBoy | OK, i will write it and come back after a while | 01:21 |
| nanocomputing | BlazeBoy: wait, try doing dmesg > log.txt | 01:21 |
| LiraNuna | bastid_raZor, both users are in the admin group | 01:21 |
| nanocomputing | and then upload that file to pastebin.ca | 01:22 |
| LiraNuna | bastid_raZor, chmod 770 | chown www-data:admin doesn't work | 01:22 |
| Blaqlight | so if I remove this other user will it clear out all its folders and other things too? | 01:22 |

| droopsta915 | blake? from westwood? | 01:25 |
| nanocomputing | cdm10: that's if you're planning to run the LiveCD image | 01:25 |
| mmap__ | I am using Ubuntu for the first time, although I started with SLS/Yggdrasil Linux in 1994 or so.. it's quite nice | 01:25 |
| blaker | wait, is it possible to install from usb key? | 01:25 |
| droopsta915 | i have reinstalled twice, and still cant log in the regular mode | 01:25 |
| cdm10 | blaker: yes, it is | 01:26 |
| nanocomputing | blaker: yes, it is, though it involves having to decompress the ISO, and write a new GRUB entry on the bootdisk | 01:26 |
| cdm10 | blaker: for that, you just need 700MB. I'm assuming you mean use the USB key to install it on a system's hard drive? | 01:26 |
| blaker | yup cdm10 | 01:26 |
| stodge | Weird - whatever update was installed last night trashed my x config | 01:26 |

| droopsta915 | i type in the username and password, the log in sound starts then i go back to the log in screen????? | 01:27 |
| blaker | i want to use usb key as the installation media | 01:27 |
| boy | IRCnet | 01:27 |

| dmi3on_ | Pelo, same thing | 01:57 |
| theunixgeek | ramma: google | 01:57 |
| Blaqlight | ramma: wget is as command line graphical as you can get, there is no direct gui though. | 01:57 |
| Gillpy_ | ramma firefox | 01:57 |
| Pelo | td123, I'm very bad at knowing all those names, I like simple nvidia or ati naming | 01:57 |
| nibsa1242b | lee98632: because most 'drivers' are built in... | 01:57 |
| Pelo | dmi3on_, now start gksu nvidia-settings, go to xserver display configuration | 01:58 |
| cnoe | theunixgeek: thanks i already had a shortcut :( | 01:58 |
| h2i | https://help.ubuntu.com/community/OpenVZ said to install "ovzkernel-2.6.18" from apt after updating /apt/list i tried to install but was the file doesnt't exist but that the package "ovzkernel" was a virtual package that could be installed with linux-image-2.6.18-12-fza-686-bigmem and two other packages with similar names (one -bigimage and another for a 486).. is this requiring me to compile my kernel manually? | 01:58 |
| * Pelo is reminded why he doesn't hang out in this channel anymore | 01:58 | |
| ramma | Gillpy_, firefox don't have a resume broken download...... | 01:58 |
| lee98632 | nibsa1242b Built in then how does linux remain a mere...2- 10 gigs in size | 01:58 |
| Gillpy_ | ramma: actually, I just found gwget | 01:58 |
| h2i | will apt make the ovzkernel the default kernel automatically? | 01:58 |
| dmi3on_ | Pelo, hard ware drivers in use, same massage from nvida-settings, before ubuntu start comes up window with info that ubuntu runs in low resolution mode | 01:58 |
| spiritssight | Pelo, unforutit I have run that command also that had the long long list very very long :-) | 01:58 |
| lee98632 | or is there something more to all this? | 01:58 |
| Gillpy_ | !info gwget | 01:59 |
| ubottu | gwget (source: gwget2): GNOME front-end for wget. In component universe, is optional. Version 0.99-2ubuntu1 (hardy), package size 217 kB, installed size 1276 kB | 01:59 |
| ramma | Gillpy_gwget is a graphical for ubuntu? | 01:59 |
| Pelo | dmi3on_, take a screen shot for me please | 01:59 |
| lee98632 | Oh and I heard a rumor that Linux is working on machine based os? are there any running yet? | 01:59 |
| td123 | Pelo: nvidia recently changed the naming :) probably since they got to 9800 and 10000 would seem too much | 01:59 |
| dmi3on_ | ok | 01:59 |
| Gillpy_ | ramma: that's what it looks like to me, though I've never used it | 02:00 |
| Pelo | spiritssight, that should be it , after that you run sudo apt-get install ubuntu-desktop and you get all the gnome back | 02:00 |
| Gillpy_ | ramma: just install and see if it's what you want | 02:00 |
| nibsa1242b | lee98632: when you install from the CD it is able to detect your hardware; most distros like Ubuntu are based on a generic kernel that has support for most HW... you can custom compile a kernel for your specific hw if you feel the need... | 02:00 |
| Pelo | td123, what I want is a screenshot of nvidia settings | 02:00 |
| ramma | Gillpy_ then let me read about it.. | 02:00 |
| lee98632 | aah ok I see I got it | 02:00 |
| spiritssight | Pelo, I have like 15-18 things under the menu that has the K in front of it that was not here just under gnome | 02:01 |
| lee98632 | say is the any head way for the PS3 RSX kernals of late , mainly for the graphical interfaces? or where would I go for that info? | 02:01 |
| spiritssight | most of them are under internet | 02:01 |
| dmi3on_ | Pelo, http://img115.imageshack.us/my.php?image=screenshotgi4.png | 02:01 |
| lee98632 | Just curiouse cause it seems like the PS3 been out a few years somethings should be happening by now | 02:02 |
| ramma | Gillpy_ gwget.... wow that sounds cool.... | 02:02 |
| Pelo | spiritssight, that just means that they are not part of the kubuntu-desktop metapackage , you'll need too remove those manualy , I recommend this, open synaptic, do a search for kde, this will list all the kde app, click the header of the first column so you get all the installed packages at the top , you might have to click twice, then you can click to remvoe them | 02:02 |
| Pelo | dmi3on_, hold on | 02:02 |
| jimm1 | why is envy downloading things when i chose to uninstall the ati driver? | 02:02 |

| Tundrayeti311 | CLyde: ls /etc/X11 might turn up a xorg.conf.bakXXX | 02:08 |
| Cyde | td123: It's funny because Ubuntu "just worked" so nicely on this system, but whatever kind of autodetection it did at install time it utterly fails to do afterwards. | 02:08 |
| Cyde | That would be a nice feature. | 02:08 |

| harisund_ | All right ifconfig -a shows me a wlan0, but it's not enabled. Trying ifconfig wlan0 up gives me a "SI0CSIFFLAGS: No such file or directory found" | 02:10 |

| EugenMayer | where do i get the linux-headers-2.6.26 with ubuntu or the ubuntu way | 02:10 |
| wols | harisund_: iwconfig -a | 02:10 |
| Brucee | i just installed ubuntu, i want to transfer pics from usb stick, and its telling me únable to mount location". what i need to do? | 02:10 |
| Cyde | Woohoo, I have KDE 4.1 up and running at native resolution. | 02:10 |
| wols | EugenMayer: same place you got the 2.6.26 kernel | 02:10 |
| Cyde | This will take some getting used to. | 02:10 |
| td123 | Cyde: type in "sudo displayconfig-gtk" to check if you have the right driver installed | 02:10 |
| Vooloo | is there a way to do a complete overhaul of all the icons in gnome? like for the folders and stuff | 02:10 |
| harisund_ | wols: iwconfig -a just says no such device found? | 02:10 |
| td123 | Cyde: oh, you're on kde? | 02:10 |
| tv_ | grush: goto edit -> current profie -> effects | 02:10 |
| EugenMayer | wols: i got the kernel form kernel.org? >) | 02:10 |
| Cyde | td123: Yup, have been for ... 8 years at least? | 02:11 |
| Ahadiel | harisund, try just doing iwconfig, no -a | 02:11 |
| Cyde | td123: 7 or 8 years, something like that. I'm running Ubuntu though, not Kubuntu. | 02:11 |
| wols | EugenMayer: then you should have used kernel-package to build and build headers too | 02:11 |
| Cyde | I also have gnome installed, I just don't use it :-D | 02:11 |
| td123 | Cyde: oh, so it works now right :) | 02:11 |
| EugenMayer | wols: i just cant install the ATI drivers i build buy the howto, because i have no kernel headers (because i have a custom kernel...the current 2.6.26.2 from kernel.org) | 02:11 |
| larson9999 | wth? zip files with characters like - in the filename won't unzip with file-roller. got to rename them. | 02:11 |
| wols | EugenMayer: and since you have compiled your own kernel you have all needed files anyways | 02:12 |
| harisund_ | Ahadiel: iwconfig lists wlan0, and I have configured wlan0 with the appropriate essid and stuff ..but it's not active | 02:12 |
| Cyde | td123: Nah, the video driver selected is "none". And I'm getting completely trash performance. | 02:12 |
| dstaley | Is it possible to make an Ubuntu LiveCD that has SSH on be default? | 02:12 |
| wols | EugenMayer: if you make your own kernel you are on your own. either you know how to do it, or like in your case you don't. | 02:12 |
| td123 | Cyde: I guess you should just pick your driver and everything will be dandy | 02:12 |
| EugenMayer | wols: yeah, but i cant install the ATI drivers, it says that the dependencies are not fulfilled | 02:12 |
| wols | EugenMayer: then use a ubuntu krenel if you cannot compile kernels properly | 02:12 |
| Cyde | td123: Yup, I've selected i810, which I believe is the correct driver for what I have, and I'm restarting X now .. | 02:13 |

| k4r1m | fluffman: thx ;] | 02:20 |
| wols_ | EugenMayer: even if you did, you need the headers of YOUR SELF COMPILED kernel. you can't just use any 2.6.26 headers | 02:20 |

| fluffman | k4r1m: you can add an applet for it by right clicking on the panels at the top of the screen | 02:21 |
| EugenMayer | wols: the problem is, i could get the headers from kernel.org, but i would not be able to install them, that the deps are fulfilled | 02:21 |
| Dexikiix | wols_: whats that main alsa package | 02:21 |
| wols_ | Dexikiix: apt-cache search alsa |grep -i alsa | 02:21 |

| EugenMayer | wols: yap, but i will need to tell that ubunut :) or the package manager or whatever it is called | 02:22 |

| wols_ | EugenMayer: WHAT PACKAGE? | 02:23 |
| wols_ | EugenMayer: and for deity's sake finally get your head out of the sand and use kernel-package | 02:23 |
| RequinB41 | xD | 02:23 |
| RequinB41 | play nice | 02:23 |
| rabiddachshund | how can you execute remote commands through ssh so that they don't require a local X server? | 02:23 |
| RequinB41 | !ssh | 02:23 |
| ubottu | SSH is the Secure SHell protocol. See https://help.ubuntu.com/community/SSHHowto for usage. Putty is a nice SSH client for Windows; it can be found at http://www.chiark.greenend.org.uk/~sgtatham/putty/ | 02:23 |
| rabiddachshund | how do you* | 02:23 |
| adude | is there a way i can force a program to just use swap? | 02:24 |
| wols_ | RequinB41: ssh -X | 02:24 |
| Dexikiix | wols_: when i came in here before and said it was telling me my CA0106 is disconnected, someone real quick was like Sudo apt-get install alsasomething | 02:24 |
| jhb1608 | how do I get the orginal x.org file back? | 02:24 |
| EugenMayer | wols: that works, when i install the packages (esp fglrx-kernel-source_*.deb fglrx-amdcccle_*.deb) i need dkms | 02:24 |
| wols_ | adude: no. you can increase swappiness but not just force some program to use it. why would you? | 02:24 |
| adude | so it doesn't use up all my ram | 02:25 |
| fluffman | !bugs k4r1m | 02:25 |
| ubottu | Sorry, I don't know anything about bugs k4r1m | 02:25 |
| k4r1m | fluffman: i was thinking of like an applet that has the searchbox inside the panel not an application launcher...something like the dictionary | 02:25 |
| EugenMayer | wols: ok, once and for all. if i USE the kernel-package, i CANT use the kernel.org version, right?that means, my WLAN ipw2945 WONT work. So i CANT do it that WAY | 02:25 |
| Dexikiix | wols_: was it like... alsa-oss or something? | 02:25 |
| jhb1608 | I need to replace the orginal files so I can able to install the WizardPen 8x6 driver. | 02:25 |
| wols_ | EugenMayer: BS: you can use kernel.org tarballs just fine with kernel-package | 02:26 |
| fluffman | k4r1m: try posting that as an idea at http://brainstorm.ubuntu.com/ or at Tracker's development site | 02:26 |
| Dexikiix | !alsa-oss | 02:26 |
| ubottu | Sorry, I don't know anything about alsa-oss | 02:26 |
| wols_ | !alsa | 02:27 |
| ubottu | If you're having problems with sound, first ensure ALSA is selected, by double clicking on the volume control, then File -> Change Device (ALSA Mixer). If that fails, see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Sound - https://help.ubuntu.com/community/SoundTroubleshooting - http://alsa.opensrc.org/DmixPlugin - For playing audio files, see !Players and !MP3 | 02:27 |
| EugenMayer | wols: hmm, ok, then MasterShrek was just missleading me. Any docs how to use the kernel-package? | 02:27 |
| EugenMayer | !kernel-package | 02:27 |
| ubottu | Sorry, I don't know anything about kernel-package | 02:27 |
| Dexikiix | wols_: i saw that one... i know there is some package that people told me to get last time i installed hardy | 02:27 |
| wols_ | EugenMayer: as evrey other package too, it comes with docs | 02:27 |
| wols_ | EugenMayer: /usr/share/doc/ | 02:27 |
| Dexikiix | oh, this place is logged, isnt it? | 02:28 |
| Dexikiix | !logs | 02:28 |
| ubottu | Official channel logs can be found at http://irclogs.ubuntu.com/ - For LoCo channels, http://logs.ubuntu-eu.org/freenode/ | 02:28 |

| uoaphys | naknomik: i got the same error when i did it, I don't really know why it does it sometimes and sometimes not... its like the first time i tried it it gave it to me, then I went back and tried again and it didn't give it to me, then i got an error and it gave it to me again | 02:58 |
| phenom | scp remoteusername@remoteuserhost:/media/drive/test.txt /home/test2.txt | 02:58 |

| spiritssight | I have some bookmarks and my pidgin stuff that I would really really not want to lose if I don't have to | 02:58 |
| uoaphys | naknomik: my suggestion is that you do it without the guided thing, don't continue after that, hit the back and see if it lets you do it the second time around | 02:58 |
| Dr_willis | naknomik, Ok. :) just checking... | 02:58 |

| Fezzler | ANyone use Gaby? | 02:59 |
| naknomik | Dr_willis: I tried it with old 6.06 CD, it seems that there is some weird partitioning scheme or something, so the resizing fails. | 03:00 |
| randy | hardy 8.04.1 anyone know of any bugs that cause gedit to hang bigtime | 03:00 |
| rweait | In Hardy, how do I disable xrandr and enable legacy Xorg? | 03:01 |

| k4r1m | anybody? or is there a different program that is better than file-roller? | 03:05 |
| nickrud | k4r1m you'd have to doubleclick the archive, then you can choose which location you want to extract to | 03:05 |

| jhb1608 | Hey. I want to restore the orginal Ubuntu files, but leave the files intact | 03:05 |
| jhb1608 | I just want to restore the x.org file | 03:05 |
| alonzo | Hello, I have quick question that any seasoned Ubuntu user can most likely answer for me.... I currently have 2 sound cards in my computer a Sound Blast card and OnBoard Audio (Nvidia onboard) in alsamixer it says that Sound Blaster is my default card, I would like to change that or even remove Sound Blast from my system and make my OnBoard (nvidia) my default sound card. Thanks for the help... | 03:06 |
| alonzo | ...in advance, | 03:06 |
| neil_d | spiritssight: see the 'mount' command and '/etc/fstab' file | 03:06 |
| dolo | anyone know how to get sound working on youtube? | 03:06 |
| nickrud | jhb1608 sudo dpkg-reconfigure -pcritical will recreate a default xorg.conf | 03:06 |
| bobertdos | spiritssight: The easiest way is to look up the drive's device path in fdisk (sudo fdisk -l) and then just use that path to mount to a temporary directory. | 03:06 |
| rweait | spiritssight: mount /dev/sdx -t ext3 /mnt/put/it/here | 03:06 |
| nickrud | jhb1608 not sure that's exactly what you want, but... | 03:06 |
| dolo | !youtube | 03:06 |
| ubottu | Sorry, I don't know anything about youtube | 03:06 |
| nickrud | jhb1608 dpkgk-reconfigure -prcritical xserver-xorg that is | 03:06 |
| Coded1 | alonzo: why not remove the sound blaster from the case? | 03:07 |
| neil_d | spiritssight: you can also try the '-t auto' flag it works most times. | 03:07 |
| alonzo | Computer is in the corner and a bitch to take out | 03:07 |
| jhb1608 | brb | 03:07 |
| dolo | youtube anyone? | 03:07 |
| Coded1 | alonzo: goto : System > Preferences > Sound | 03:08 |
| alonzo | i know you can watch youtube videos through mplayer | 03:08 |
| neil_d | I have tried to limit the rate of scp with the '-l 3' and '-l=3' and '-l3' options but none seem to work is this a bug ? | 03:08 |
| alonzo | ok | 03:08 |
| Coded1 | it will let you select a card for each type of sound | 03:08 |
| jhb1608 | nickrud, it say specifity the package | 03:08 |
| nickrud | jhb1608 yeah, you missed my correction: sudo dpkg-reconfigure -pcritical xserver-xorg | 03:08 |
| dolo | yotube sound? | 03:09 |

| nickrud | jhb1608 the warning is normal, just letting you know it's making a backup. The second .... | 03:10 |
| dolo | well i see the videos but i dont get any sound | 03:10 |
| Coded1 | alonzo: are you talking about using the sound in X or in the shell? | 03:10 |
| dolo | i tryed typing lots of random stuff from differnt forums but nothing seems to work | 03:10 |
| jhb1608 | ok | 03:10 |
| jhb1608 | second one? | 03:10 |
| nickrud | should be a part of the kernel. Checking | 03:11 |
| alonzo | In X. I have sound working with Mplayer but not with VLC or Wine | 03:11 |
| DozedOnLinux | dolo: look at your mesage | 03:11 |
| alonzo | I thought alsamixer would be the problem here | 03:11 |
| Coded1 | alonzo;they all have their own settings you might want to look up 'modprobe' and its friends and stop the driver from being loaded | 03:11 |
| jhb1608 | nickrud? | 03:12 |

| nickrud | jhb1608 it should be in your kernel. run sudo apt-get install --reinstall linux-image-2.6.24-19-386 | 03:13 |
| ramma | k4rlm, is it only for rapidshare? please | 03:13 |

| k4r1m | ramma: no like the program that lets you extract and compress files | 03:15 |
| k4r1m | ramma: something like winrar on windows. | 03:16 |

| RequinB41 | k4r1m: things like that are easier to do in CLI | 03:19 |
| ramma | k4rlm, maybe i'm wrong then.... but currently rar is helping me out do my work normally.... | 03:19 |
| naknomik | but Ubuntu still thinks it's DVD-ROM | 03:19 |

| dmi3on_ | I have very hard problem with nvidia driver load, EnvyNG doesnt help and second day no one cant give me solution. my problem is: before ubuntu starts i get massage that is running under low resolution mode, and i get this massage all the time when try to open nvidia x server settings: You do not appear to be using the nvidia x driver .... Also when i just click in grub on ubunut come up massage for 1 sec: PCI rescue .... | 03:28 |
| Flannel | gabmed: Yes, they're no longer active, you should upgrade to feisty (and beyond, since feisty will go away in a few months too) | 03:28 |
| bastid_raZor | Blaqlight; use sudo .. it is much faster than chown/chmod them. sudo cp file or sudo cp -R directory destination | 03:28 |
| RequinB41 | Blaqlight: Ok, I don't know, besides renaming the user, but for curiosty why | 03:28 |
| gabmed | Flannel, i'm trying to install nfts-3g, i have a problem with a ntfs partition | 03:28 |
| Blaqlight | RequinB41, the other user is broken. can't login to it, easier just creating a new user... | 03:29 |
| k4r1m | Shujah: doesn't matter lol, i have done c++, and C# apps on windows and im pretty good with c++ and whats wrong with writing a deb app lol ;] | 03:29 |
| mocha | How do I create SVG files in linux? | 03:29 |
| Flannel | gabmed: I don't believe ntfs-3g was in Edgy anyway, you had to use a third party source for it. https://help.ubuntu.com/community/MountingWindowsPartitions/ThirdPartyNTFS3G | 03:29 |

| usser | EFG, you need the openssl-dev package | 03:29 |
| Blaqlight | bastid_raZor, thats a bad idea, it will make all of the files owned by root, its more work than its worth. lol | 03:29 |
| Flannel | gabmed: but again, I must stress you ought to upgrade. You've been without security updates for a few months now | 03:30 |
| chao1 | how do i get pictures back from a hdd that is failing but is seen | 03:30 |
| bastid_raZor | Blaqlight; chown them after you them moved. not hard at all. | 03:30 |
| usser | EFG, libssl-dev is the exact name | 03:30 |
| RequinB41 | Blaqlight - just copy the user's $home? | 03:30 |
| EFG | oh | 03:30 |
| EFG | ok | 03:30 |
| Blaqlight | RequinB41, yeah thats what Im looking at. | 03:30 |
| gabmed | Flannel: Can I use the dapper-drake repository to install ntfs-3g? | 03:30 |
| k4r1m | Shujah: it would be alot easier if u guys tell me if there is a package that has what i need | 03:30 |
| k4r1m | Shujah: isntead of just telling me to use the command line | 03:31 |
| kane | Can you connect to internet when card is in monitar mode | 03:31 |
| kane | on ubuntu | 03:31 |
| bastid_raZor | k4r1m; use the google.. | 03:31 |
| Blaqlight | course I could just ad myself to that user's group and then... move them. | 03:31 |
| Flannel | gabmed: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/MountingWindowsPartitions/ThirdPartyNTFS3G?action=recall&rev=7 | 03:31 |
| kane | Can you connect to internet when card is in monitar mode | 03:31 |
| Flannel | gabmed: edgy has been removed from the wiki as well, since it's not supported (but you can get it with versions) | 03:31 |
| Blaqlight | bastid_raZor, your sounding like george bush with "the google" lol | 03:31 |
| Shujah | k4r1m, you already have the package unrar - what you need to do is either select all .rar files right click and select extract here - or - write a script if the files are numerous and in folder heirarchy | 03:31 |
| milos_ | mocha, with inkscape | 03:32 |
| DozedOnLinux | kane: no | 03:32 |

| bastid_raZor | Blaqlight; you're sounding like you have no clue what you're doing. read up on simple CLI commands | 03:32 |
| kane | How can i disable monitar mode | 03:32 |
| k4r1m | i dont have the "Extract here" opition when i right click | 03:32 |
| DozedOnLinux | kane: with wlan0 down, iwconfig wlan0 mode managed | 03:32 |
| kane | What do you mean | 03:32 |
| Shujah | k4r1m, also in *some* torrent downloads there is a single rar file and rest are named as .r01 .r02, if thats the case unrar only the .rar file rest will follow automatically | 03:32 |
| kane | Can you give me the command | 03:32 |
| gabmed | Flannel: I'll try that, thank you so much! | 03:33 |
| kane | to disable monitor mode | 03:33 |
| EFG | libcurl now is a problem | 03:33 |
| DozedOnLinux | kane: in terminal > ifdown wlan0 or iwconfig wlan0 down | 03:33 |
| Blaqlight | bastid_raZor, maybe my memory is shot. no need to be mean | 03:33 |
| Flannel | gabmed: one last time, you should think about upgrading :) | 03:33 |
| kane | oh thank you | 03:33 |
| k4r1m | Shujah: w\e i will if i could it get to work | 03:33 |
| Shujah | k4r1m, open synaptic and search for unrar - what do you have installed | 03:34 |
| Ryuho | i tried making different [] entry in smb.conf but now they both don't have password, i just want one to have a pass and one to be password free.. how would i do that? | 03:34 |
| k4r1m | i have the nonfree version installed | 03:34 |
| Shujah | k4r1m, select a single rar file does it show you the command of extract here? | 03:35 |
| thingfish | Ryuho: samba passwords are all set through smbpasswd | 03:35 |

| jerky | dmi3on, are you running hardy? | 03:36 |
| thingfish | Ryuho: oh, you want to share a share? I don't know how to do that...tried for a while on that and gave up. | 03:36 |
| k4r1m | Shujah; sorry for the trouble ;[ | 03:36 |
| DozedOnLinux | dmi3on_: while EnvyNG install use (choose monitor) in terminal > gksu displayconfig-gtk | 03:36 |
| Shujah | lols np :P | 03:36 |
| Flannel | gabmed: From edgy you have to upgrade to Feisty (and feisty to gutsy, and gutsy to hardy) the only way to skip is to go LTS to LTS (Dapper to Hardy) | 03:36 |
| td123 | gabmed: you should dl ubuntu 8.04.1 install cd, will be much faster/ clean install | 03:36 |

| ubottu | 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 |
| RGD | I am new to the whole Ubuntu thing, so please be patient with me :) | 03:39 |
| mocha | milos_: Thanks for the suggestion, I'll be giving it a try. | 03:39 |

| seekingtruth | hal_v2: yeah I know, i understand and empathise with you. Keep asking, maybe someone will know a solution | 03:50 |
| n00blar | Indeph: Oh, you could try using something like VMWare Workstation and run Windows on a virtual machine...or just try VirtualBox, which is an open source virtual machine application | 03:50 |

| Coded1 | hal_v2: i think the easiest thing to do is get an external card reader, if the company that you bought your camera from does not want anyone to know how to work with it no one can force them | 03:53 |
| Indeph | flannel i just did dpkg -i deb virtualboxnamehere.deb | 03:53 |
| seekingtruth | arthur: pause it? its paused anyway, right? | 03:53 |
| Flannel | Indeph: no no, dpkg -i /path/to/file.deb | 03:53 |
| Indeph | i know | 03:53 |
| Indeph | NOW i know | 03:53 |
| Coded1 | hal_v2: the card reader is like $10 or less at your local electronics store | 03:53 |
| hal_v2 | Coded1: is that the case? is it the company's fault for building a camera that's too difficult to understand? | 03:53 |
| seekingtruth | Coded1: good point | 03:54 |
| n00blar | `brooks: are you able to hear sound when playing music or any other applications with sound? | 03:54 |
| hal_v2 | Because it was like a 60 dollar camera. | 03:54 |
| nickrud | hal_v2 more like, they don't tell anyone how it works | 03:54 |
| Indeph | Hey, whenever I go to set up my headphones it won't let me control the left ear. | 03:54 |
| `brooks | n00blar: yes noob. ;[ only local media, though. | 03:54 |
| Indeph | Like, I drag it up and it immediately forces itself back to 0 | 03:54 |
| arthur | i dont use windows for much just incase sombody askes me how do i do that i dont have to reboot....lol | 03:54 |
| hal_v2 | nickrud: is this the case? did you research to find out that it's in fact the camera itself that's the problem here? | 03:54 |
| === jerky is now known as beefjerky | ||
| hal_v2 | I'd much rather say it's not the camera's fault, but ubuntu's for not recognizing it. | 03:55 |
| Coded1 | hal_v2: when some one makes something especially in electronics there is really no way of knowing how it works on the inside, if the company does not tell anyone what pin does what it takes monts /years to guess and test | 03:55 |
| interbird | bazhang,Flannel: I won't since it's received to badly. Sorry, no harm meant. | 03:55 |
| derenrich | question, where does seahorse get the list of other collected keys from? it has keys that i have never imported | 03:55 |
| hal_v2 | Coded1: the camera works fine without the card, so it's not their fault. | 03:55 |
| Flannel | derenrich: which keys? | 03:55 |
| EugenMayer | anybody tried to install the prop. ati drivers the manual way ( in the howto ) with a custom kernel buld through kernel-package ? | 03:55 |
| nickrud | hal_v2 it's a bit off topic, but that's the problem with _lots_ of hardware: the manufacturers don't release enough information for open source programmers to write complete code. They peek at what's passing back and forth over the usb channel, and try to interpret. You'll see lots of hardware that is marked as working 'mostly', or 'partly' for that reason | 03:55 |

| === beefjerky2 is now known as jerky | ||
| Coded1 | hal_v2: sorry buddy, grab a debugger and have at her | 03:56 |
| hal_v2 | nickrud: the camera actually works. it's when the memory card is put in it that it doesn't work | 03:56 |
| derenrich | Flannel: how did it know to get them? Did I check my past e-mail via thunderbird? | 03:56 |
| nickrud | hal_v2 what did I just say? 'completely' versus 'mostly' and 'partly'. | 03:56 |
| Flannel | derenrich: I was hoping you'd say something easy :) I don't know. | 03:56 |
| `brooks | n00blar: my local media produces sound just fine. firefox will not play any sound, though it streams the video just fine. i can't figure out what's wrong. >.< | 03:57 |
| derenrich | Flannel: alright | 03:57 |
| n00blar | `brooks: if it's only internet that's pretty weird...try using alsamixer from the cli and make sure nothing's low in volume..it's just a shot | 03:57 |

| pawel | sizzam: the ip returns "390357470 " in the browser | 04:24 |

| sizzam | restart? what? we don't restart | 04:38 |
| marco | jay_, gimp does the job for most people (depends on what you need really). As for dreamweaver, you're really not gonna find something that full featured in linux. Most linux developers don't use WYSIWYG editors (though some do). | 04:38 |
| RequinB41 | sizzam: for kernel updates | 04:38 |

| marco | mixed, I think 101 | 04:45 |
| s3rvant | sooo... any idea why the nvidia settings aren't being saved? | 04:45 |
| kegie | mixed: 96 is the default setting, which is technically too low for most monitors (so the text looks a bit small). Turning it up makes the text bigger, but has a tendency to make things look a bit strange sometimes... it is a tradeoff. But 120 is another common setting. | 04:45 |

| mixed | Marco, I'll use 101, feisty would use 96 and then you could only choose the next one up, hardy heronn lets you choose in increments of 1, yikes! | 04:46 |
| joejoecircusboy | RequinB41: I was more interested in the latter part of the question :P | 04:46 |
| bobertdos | jay_: ./ is necessary when you want to run an executable in the current directory | 04:46 |
| Flannel | jay_: . means your current directory, so ./blah would call "blah" in your current directory. By default your current directory isn't included in the path (where it looks for commands) for security | 04:46 |
| RequinB41 | joejoecircusboy: there are free mind-mapping software available, i can't think of one right now tho | 04:46 |
| jay_ | I tried to make a directory in filesystem called downloads and it said i did not have permission, what is that about? | 04:47 |
| sizzam | RequinB41: can you take a screenshot of the image you're talking about? | 04:47 |
| marco | jay_, if you just type in a file name to the command line, it'll look in /usr/bin and a couple of other places (defined by environment variables) | 04:47 |
| s3rvant | :( | 04:47 |
| mixed | ill be right back! | 04:47 |
| marco | jay_, in linux, '.' means current directory and '..' means parent directory | 04:47 |
| RequinB41 | sizzam: kk - it's just a desktop picture with a gnome-terminal on top (as of like fiesty) | 04:47 |
| m0u5e | jay_: you don't have permission to access / by default, not unless you elevate your privliges | 04:47 |
| === marco is now known as Marco | ||
| bobertdos | jay_: Making directories in Filesystem requires admin privileges. | 04:47 |
| jay_ | so mkdir downloads? | 04:47 |
| nickrud | joejoecircusboy that sounds like a topic better suited to #ubuntu-offtopic | 04:48 |
| jay_ | i am the admin | 04:48 |
| s3rvant | I've got the nvidia driver installed, and the nvidia settings utility, 2 7300gt's with one monitor per card... but I can't seem to get it to go dual monitor | 04:48 |
| Marco | jay_, no, mkdir creates a directory | 04:48 |
| Flannel | jay_: sudo mkdir blah | 04:48 |
| m0u5e | jay_: no you need to use sudo, or login as root (sudo -l) | 04:48 |
| Flannel | !sudo | jay_ | 04:48 |
| ubottu | jay_: 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) | 04:48 |
| joejoecircusboy | nickrud: my question had 'ubuntu' in it? :D | 04:48 |
| nickrud | joejoecircusboy barely ;) | 04:49 |
| jay_ | i will try that out, do you recommend to put the download dir in my $home dir instead of root for security? | 04:49 |
| joejoecircusboy | hehe | 04:49 |
| Marco | jay_, the linux security model has users with limited privileges so that any damage that occurs is minimized. If you want to do something that requires admin privileges, you have to prefix the c ommand with "sudo" | 04:49 |
| bobertdos | jay_: I know I do. | 04:49 |
| Marco | jay_, you shouldn't put directories in / | 04:49 |
| Marco | *new directories | 04:49 |
| === MajorP47^ is now known as MajorP | ||
| jay_ | i see, i need to read more about linux i guess | 04:50 |
| RequinB41 | jay_: you are not the admin xD That's the beauty. You can make yourself have admin priviledges temporarily only when you're sure you want to, and wiht a password. | 04:50 |
| jay_ | binaries are like exe's in windows? | 04:50 |
| s3rvant | XP was getting on my nerves... so I installed ubuntu, but now I don't have sound or my dual monitors, the monitors being 1st priority | 04:50 |
| bobertdos | jay_: Yeah, the general rule of thumb is that personal data belongs in Home. | 04:50 |
| Marco | jay_, yes | 04:50 |
| nickrud | jay_ there's nothing really wrong with it, it's just not standard | 04:50 |
| Flannel | jay_: Its a lot to absorb at first, but it'll get easier | 04:50 |
| joejoecircusboy | s3rvant: So XP is looking pretty good right now, eh? ;) | 04:50 |
| pawel_pawel | i'm at a hotel, how can I check if it is using a proxy? | 04:50 |
| pawel_pawel | opening ports for torrents doesn't work and neither does gadu-gadu on pidgin... maybe I hav a problem with a proxy on the network | 04:50 |
| s3rvant | ... not going back to xp if I can help it | 04:50 |
| Marco | jay_, the best way to learn is what you're doing, diving in | 04:50 |
| bazhang | joejoecircusboy, please take chat elsewhere | 04:50 |
| RequinB41 | !sound | 04:51 |
| ubottu | If you're having problems with sound, first ensure ALSA is selected, by double clicking on the volume control, then File -> Change Device (ALSA Mixer).

| === MajorP is now known as MajorP47 | ||
| RequinB41 | thx Flannel | 04:51 |
| bobertdos | jay_: Well, there are different types of executable files, but yes, binary (bin) files are common. | 04:51 |
| s3rvant | ... I've read several articles... guess I'll try those too... | 04:51 |
| bazhang | joejoecircusboy, offtopic in #ubuntu-offtopic | 04:51 |
| jay_ | so a .exe in windows is the same as a .bin in linux? | 04:51 |
| SNuxoll | jay_: file extensions don't matter in linux | 04:52 |
| Marco | jay_, ehhh, kind of. In linux, a file is executable or not depending on its permissions | 04:52 |
| Flannel | jay_: Generally they won't have an extension | 04:52 |
| joejoecircusboy | bazhang: Regarding modelling the human brain? I mentioned that once 10 mins ago, and have been told it was offtopic twice now?? | 04:52 |
| SNuxoll | jay_: usually .bin is just a way that some companies trick their server into sending the file in binary mode, as flannel said, executables generally don't have extensions at all | 04:52 |
| jay_ | is that where all my ubuntu programs will be at in the bin dir? | 04:52 |
| Marco | jay_, most installed programs will be in /usr/bin | 04:53 |
| mixed | it looks like hardy heron is unable to detect my monitor! :-( | 04:53 |
| danfg | why should i install 64-bit linux? is there a downside to it? | 04:53 |
| Marco | some will be in /bin | 04:53 |
| Marco | some will be in the /sbin | 04:53 |
| RequinB41 | jay_: what SNuxoll says. Basically, there is no need for a "exe" type designation for a few reasons, mostly because the software is installed via repositories | 04:53 |
| b3lorixx | how can i make it so i dont have to do sudo modprobe ndiswrapper to get wireless each time i start up | 04:53 |
| Flannel | jay_: Not all of them, theres a few directories that'll house stuff. You can tell where something is with the "which" command, "which blah" will give you the path to blah | 04:53 |
| RequinB41 | !repos | 04:53 |
| ubottu | The packages in Ubuntu are divided into several sections. More information at https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Repositories and http://www.ubuntu.com/ubuntu/components - See https://wiki.ubuntu.com/RecommendedSources for the recommended way to set up your repositories | 04:53 |
| mixed | danfg, yes, there is a downside to it, it probably will not work! | 04:53 |
| RequinB41 | hmm, not what i wanted | 04:53 |
| bazhang | joejoecircusboy, windows chat | 04:53 |
| bobertdos | jay_: AND some programs will commonly be in /usr/lib | 04:53 |
| joejoecircusboy | danfg: If you have more than 3 GB of RAM. Downsides: Sub-par Flash and Java support | 04:53 |
| Marco | bobertdos, really O.o | 04:53 |

| jay_ | wow, this is alot to abosrb abd learn coming from a windows environment | 04:54 |
| SNuxoll | Marco: generally only libs go there | 04:54 |
| joejoecircusboy | bazhang: 1. it was a joke 2. the person asking the question brought up Windows | 04:54 |
| dotech | Marco: That is a good goal. | 04:54 |
| SNuxoll | Marco: but sometimes stupid programs put binaries there | 04:54 |
| jay_ | but i think i am learning thanks to you guys help | 04:54 |
| danfg | joejoecircusboy: but can't i run like, a 32-bit java/flash on it? | 04:54 |

| b3lorixx | how can i make it so i dont have to do sudo modprobe ndiswrapper to get wireless each time i start up | 04:54 |
| bobertdos | Marco: Well, that's mostly true. There are exceptions though, like Firefox's stuff. | 04:54 |
| pawel_pawel | i'm at a hotel, how can I check if it is using a proxy? | 04:54 |
| Psyco_Chipmunkk1 | Doess nayone know how I can resise my partition with Gparted? It wont let me. The options there but I can click on it | 04:54 |
| joejoecircusboy | danfg: Ya, it doesn't work as well as in 32bit Ubuntu though (still usable, just a bit more flaky) | 04:54 |
| feihung1 | #surabaya | 04:54 |
| nickrud | b3lorixx add the word ndiswrapper on a line by itself in gsku gedit /etc/modules | 04:55 |
| Flannel | jay_: Don't feel bad when, in a few weeks, you want to reinstall to get rid of all the stuff you broke while playing. I think I went through at least a dozen. | 04:55 |
| * nickrud wonders how many partitions he erased, had partially working, or not working all at once in the first 6 months | 04:55 | |
| bobertdos | jay_: Yes, I ditto Flannel's statement. | 04:55 |
| joejoecircusboy | danfg: I just made the switch to 64bit a few weeks back, it was relatively painless | 04:55 |
| Psyco_Chipmunkk1 | anyone? | 04:55 |
| Flannel | Psyco_Chipmunkk1: Are you on a liveCD? | 04:56 |
| Psyco_Chipmunkk1 | nope | 04:56 |
| Psyco_Chipmunkk1 | I downloaded gparted | 04:56 |
| Flannel | Psyco_Chipmunkk1: You can't edit mounted partitions | 04:56 |
| Psyco_Chipmunkk1 | oh | 04:56 |

| Flannel | Psyco_Chipmunkk1: yeah, unless you're modifying partitions that you're notusing currently | 04:56 |
| RequinB41 | jay_: that is meant for people who are having problems in certain areas, and probably doesn't apply to you | 04:56 |

| Psyco_Chipmunkk1 | ok | 04:57 |

| slammed87d21 | help? | 04:57 |
| danfg | joejoecircusboy: hmm i don't have +4gb ram, what about virtualization, does kqemu run any faster? | 04:57 |
| danfg | does anything run faster? | 04:57 |
| Marco | danfg, don't use x86_64 | 04:57 |
| danfg | Marco: ? | 04:57 |
| Marco | danfg, in theory, some apps should run faster, but those are things like databases and video encoding | 04:57 |
| jay_ | dont see it | 04:58 |
| joejoecircusboy | danfg: I haven't done any benchmarks, but in general.. no, performance is about the same (not enough difference either way to justify the switch) | 04:58 |
| Marco | danfg, however, in practice, x64 binaries are larger and thus take longer to run | 04:58 |
| Marco | so in benchmarks, x64 ends up being slower | 04:58 |
| Guest20826 | any know how to solve the qmake for Qt4 not found. Please specify the correct qmake with --qmake= when installing mythtv on ubuntu or is this a question for the mythtv channel | 04:58 |

| joejoecircusboy | danfg: My desktop does run alot fast after the switch, but I also upgraded from 2GB to 8GB of RAM at the same time :) | 04:59 |

| Midorix | I was going to install Ubuntu as a dual-boot afterwords, bobertdos :P | 05:00 |
| jay_ | any good links you can recommend to lern how to "unzip and install" and program that is .tar.gz? | 05:01 |
| Flannel | !compression | jay_ | 05:01 |

| bobertdos | Midorix: Oh, start fresh, you mean? | 05:01 |
| Marco | jay_, what do you mean? | 05:01 |
| danfg | Marco, joejoecircusboy: wow, so is 64-bit just a big flaming pile of feces? | 05:01 |
| Marco | danfg, no | 05:01 |
| Marco | it's good | 05:01 |
| sizzam | slammed87d21: see if this is helpful: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/WifiDocs/Driver/Madwifi | 05:01 |
| Midorix | Yeah, bobertdos . I ruined my windows install accidentally when I put Ubuntu on, and I'd like to get both back now. | 05:01 |
| danfg | Marco: oh ok, with 64 bit you can use +4gb of ram yay! | 05:01 |
| danfg | that's it? | 05:02 |
| nickrud | jay_ a word to the wise: any program you find as a tar.gz, make a real effort to find it in the repos, it's much easier to install that way | 05:02 |
| Marco | danfg, especially if you have a lot of RAM, or do a lot of number crunching stuff (databases and a host of other things) | 05:02 |

| Vooloo | the official tar.gz ? | 05:02 |
| jay_ | I have learned to use apt-get install but there are some programs which need to "un-tar" or un-zip | 05:02 |
| Flannel | jay_: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/SynapticHowto | 05:02 |
| bobertdos | Midorix: Oh, well in that case, why not just let your Windows disc do it? | 05:02 |
| sizzam | Vooloo: sudo apt-get install flashplugin-nonfree | 05:02 |
| joejoecircusboy | danfg: No, I don't agree with Marco actually... 64bit isn't slower. While it's true that the binaries would be slightly bigger... we're talking a few percent bigger... This is offset by other advantages 64bit has (like more registers, for example).... Rule of thumb: For desktop usage, performance shouldn't factor in to your decision to go 64bit (it's not significantly faster or slower) | 05:03 |
| slammed87d21 | sizzam: i tried that but it isnt working | 05:03 |
| Marco | joejoecircusboy, I know, but theoretically so, I've seen benchmarks that prove my point. | 05:03 |
| === ZARCG is now known as Richard-ZA | ||
| Midorix | I think I have to format my HDD somehow, bobertdos. When I put in the windows disc to try to install, it tells me it "can't detect a hard drive disk'' and that I should check all connections are made properly and drives are properly formatted | 05:03 |
| sizzam | slammed87d21: if you don't get a response here, you could try searching for your error at ubuntuforums.org | 05:03 |

| joejoecircusboy | Marco: Ya, me too... for some things it's slower, for others it's faster... in the end it wasn't significant enough to really matter | 05:04 |
| Marco | joejoecircusboy, other than the pita they have to go through to get flash | 05:04 |
| Marco | joejoecircusboy, there really is no reason to switch to x64 if you don't have >4GB of RAM | 05:04 |
| bobertdos | Midorix: Is it a SATA drive? | 05:04 |
| Marco | or are running a server | 05:04 |
| joejoecircusboy | Marco: Ya, it basically boils down to (for me): Do you have more than 3.5 GB of ram? Yes -> 64bit No -> 32bit | 05:04 |
| Midorix | Yes, bobertdos. | 05:05 |
| jay_ | sizzam; i had that problem before i uninstalled gnash and kept flash installed and it worked | 05:05 |
| jay_ | with firefox | 05:05 |
| Marco | joejoecircusboy, I think the ubuntu download page should say that | 05:05 |
| danfg | Marco, joejoecircusboy: ok, then i'm sticking to 32-bit, thanks a lot you guys | 05:05 |
| joejoecircusboy | danfg: I think one area where 64bit might excel -> if you do alot of media encoding or emulation (IIRC, that's where 64bit pulled ahead in performance, but even then only slightly) | 05:06 |
| joejoecircusboy | danfg: no problem | 05:06 |
| Marco | even for emulation, you'll see a bigger difference in switching between the different virtualization solutions than between 32bit and 64bit | 05:07 |
| joejoecircusboy | Marco: I mean emulating another CPU (like for console emulators)... for Virtualization, it's not really emulating the CPU (just running the guest code directly on the CPU) | 05:07 |

| danfg | Marco: very interesting. which virtualization solution would you recommend for running windows xp? | 05:08 |
| bobertdos | Midorix: XP has issues with detecting certain SATA drives. I'm not an expert in this area myself but I know some threads say you need special drivers, others that say you need to disable this and that in the bios............. | 05:08 |
| jay_ | themunkee; yes ubuntu suports NTFS file systems | 05:08 |
| nomad111 | if there are multiple programs running eg flash vid in firefox and rhythmbox | 05:09 |

| joejoecircusboy | danfg: If you wan to use more 'open source friendly' Virtualization, VirtualBox is a good choice | 05:09 |
| Marco | danfg, xen is a bit more difficult to set up than others. Vmware is really easy and pretty fast. Virtualbox looks easy and good too. I have personal experience with KVM and liked it. | 05:10 |
| themunkee | sizzam: thanks, I'll look at that | 05:10 |

| Marco | jay_, well, whatever works for you | 05:13 |
| danfg | chemokid: which web and database server are you running inside kvm? | 05:13 |
| jay_ | anyone use truecrypt with ubuntu? | 05:13 |
| chemokid | danfg: i would like to run apache and mysql in one host and apache and postgresql on another | 05:14 |
| morningwalker | is SSH available for ubuntu?? | 05:14 |
| === eric is now known as Guest49734 | ||
| joejoecircusboy | chemokid: You can separate that into two problems: 1. Running multiple VMs and 2. Running apache and a DB on separate hosts | 05:15 |
| jay_ | im not sure but i have heard about SSH | 05:15 |
| chemokid | i'm just looking for any documentation & hints on the right way to set it up, i've read that raw devices should be used for disk space to get better performance but i'm wondering how that impacts migrating virtual machines back and forth | 05:15 |
| sizzam | morningwalker: yes, sudo apt-get install ssh | 05:15 |
| morningwalker | k cool | 05:15 |
| jay_ | i tried a LAMP server but could not get past the command prompt | 05:15 |
| jay_ | to install gnome | 05:15 |
| RequinB41 | I have an image that shows on my desktop when i disable my desktop in nautilus. (To the best of my knowledge) I have no other file manager programs running. I would like that image to go away, help please? | 05:16 |
| Flannel | jay_: If you install from the server CD, there isn't anything "past" the command prompt | 05:16 |
| morningwalker | thanks sizzam, one more thing, i need to run ssh on terminal right, ssh <user_name>@<ipaddress> | 05:16 |
| chemokid | and if i should use a disk partition or use lvm first to allocate space for the virtual machines | 05:16 |
| jay_ | i found that out by trail and error | 05:16 |
| sizzam | morningwalker: right | 05:16 |
| morningwalker | thanks | 05:16 |
| Bob535 | Okay, So I'm really really stuck. Here's the situation, I tried to update my Nvidia driver using the manual install package from Nvidia (after having the regular restricted drivers installed and working correctly) and not only did it not work, I cannot even get the old drivers to reinstall and initialize correctly. Anyone able to help? | 05:16 |
| jay_ | Flannel; to install a GUI from the server ubunt disc it is sudo apt-get install gnome-desktop? | 05:16 |
| RequinB41 | jay_: keep in mind you can run a "server" on a "desktop machine" - ubuntu doesn't see the difference - it's just a question of what programs are installed | 05:16 |
| Dexikiix | could someone help me get this: http://dossy.org/archives/000545.html | 05:17 |
| Flannel | jay_: sudo apt-get install ubuntu-desktop | 05:17 |
| Dexikiix | its a pigdin plugin | 05:17 |
| Dexikiix | i tried the deb, but it didnt work | 05:17 |
| Flannel | jay_: and you'll probably also want to install linux-generic | 05:17 |
| joejoecircusboy | chemokid: lvm or not: Use LVM if you want to consolidate two device into one raw partition, or you think you'll want to grow your partitions in the future | 05:17 |
| Vooloo | are there any tray programs? If I were to lose the gnome panel... | 05:17 |
| RequinB41 | Ok -- I'm thinking this is not going to fix itself... | 05:17 |
| jay_ | i see, all this apt-get stuff though i think is blocking me from learning real linux commands like how to unzip a .gztar file and install programs and such, apt-get makes it too easy | 05:17 |
| Flannel | jay_: "real linux" isn't about targz or compiling. | 05:18 |
| Bob535 | jay, thats the point | 05:18 |
| sizzam | jay_: installing from tar.gz is a last resort | 05:18 |
| acornstar | hello | 05:18 |
| RequinB41 | Or if you want the latest bleeding edge tech | 05:18 |
| acornstar | can anyone answer a question about portable hardrives | 05:18 |
| acornstar | ? | 05:18 |
| RequinB41 | that may break stuff | 05:18 |
| amenado | how to verify that usb port is 2.0? dmesg shows usb 1-2: new full speed USB device using ohci_hcd and address 4 so do I have usb 2.0 ? | 05:18 |
| RequinB41 | !ask | acornstar | 05:18 |
| ubottu | acornstar: Please don't ask to ask a question, ask the question (all on ONE line, so others can read and follow it easily). If anyone knows the answer they will most likely answer. :-) | 05:18 |
| bobertdos | jay_: If you really feel passionate about learning your way around the terminal, the best way to learn about individual commands is to read their manpages. | 05:18 |
| joejoecircusboy | chemokid: Raw disk or not w/ KVM: I'm guessing that the raw disk format and the file image format is exactly the same (the former best faster because your read/writes aren't going through filesystem code). So, you should be able to easily convert from one to another in the future | 05:19 |
| sizzam | jay_: the repositories (apt-get) contain thousands of apps that someone has already gone through the trouble of configuring to work with your system so you can just install it and go | 05:19 |
| jay_ | dont get me wrong I LOVE the apt-get command | 05:19 |
| Marco | jay_, the only time you really want to be installing from source is if you're developing for that app or if you need/want a new feature in the later versions | 05:19 |
| jay_ | i ran debian on my 700mhz 128 ram 10 GB box :) | 05:20 |
| Marco | in which case, I'd recommend building and using "checkinstall" instead of "make install" | 05:20 |
| venger | jay_ you also love not having to go through all the dependencies of a program especially a meta-package such ubuntu-desktop | 05:20 |
| acornstar | Will a Verbatim SmartDisk portable harddrive work with linux? What are the file systems that kubuntu accepts? | 05:20 |
| Marco | checkinstall will generate a .deb file you can install with dpkg | 05:20 |
| joejoecircusboy | chemokid: Apache one one host, DB on another.. You should be able to treat this the same as a similar config on separate physical hardware... (Should be lots of guides on this via google) | 05:20 |
| RequinB41 | I have an image that shows on my desktop when i disable my desktop in nautilus. (To the best of my knowledge) I have no other file manager programs running. I would like that image to go away, help please? | 05:20 |
| jay_ | i have to learn all of that, i know how to do it in windows but im trying to switch to linux | 05:20 |
| sizzam | jay_: another benefit of installing from the repos is that you get updates whenever that package is updated in the repos with a new version, bug fix, security fix, etc | 05:21 |
| kaiwen | Hi, is there a way to connect to a linux box (w/o monitor, therefore boots into login screen) with vnc viewer once the linux box boots?? | 05:22 |
| jay_ | so in dos to exe a command you just type say "netstat -a" or whatever , in linux how does it go to execute a command , what is the ./ for? | 05:22 |
| chemokid | joejoecircusboy: thx. i'll give it a shot with separate lvm logical volumes for each server. so far i haven't seen that on any mailing list or forum posts but hopefully there won't be any issues later on with it. | 05:22 |
| Marco | and a lot of packages from the repos have ubuntu specific fixes/features in them that help integrate the ubuntu desktop nicely | 05:22 |
| amenado | !tutorials | jay_ | 05:22 |
| ubottu | Sorry, I don't know anything about tutorials | 05:22 |
| Bob535 | Okay, So I'm really really stuck. Here's the situation, I tried to update my Nvidia driver using the manual install package from Nvidia (after having the regular restricted drivers installed and working correctly) and not only did it not work, I cannot even get the old drivers to reinstall and initialize correctly. Anyone able to help? | 05:23 |
| kaiwen | anyone use vnc viewer that can help me? | 05:23 |
| jay_ | Venger; yeah you are right for now, until i learn the basics then i will move on from there | 05:23 |
| jay_ | y | 05:23 |
| joejoecircusboy | chemokid: the KVM, or the guest VM's point of view, it shouldn't even be able to detect whether it's LVM or not (LVM is far lower on the software stack) | 05:23 |
| jay_ | kaiwen; whats your ? | 05:23 |
| sizzam | jay_: linux has a concept of a "path" that contains lists of directories that have executables. you can see if if you type "echo $PATH" at a prompt. if the executable is in one of the locations in your path, you can just run the executable. if its not, then you have to call the full directory path, or go to the directory and ./ | 05:23 |
| RequinB41 | jay_: Well (indepth), when you type a command say 'apt-get' in the terminal, the shell (terminal instance) you are running searches in your $PATH for programs of that name. | 05:23 |
| kaiwen | jay_ look above plz, i already poste my qusetion. | 05:23 |
| pqlsztjoz | what is the difference between mandrake and mandriva | 05:23 |
| sizzam | pqlsztjoz: mandrake became mandriva | 05:24 |
| chemokid | hmm | 05:24 |
| pqlsztjoz | sizzam i see; why the name chnage | 05:24 |
| amenado | jay_ windows have similar concepts of PATH ...something like %PATH in windows | 05:24 |
| venger | jay_ about 8 or so years ago i started off with reading a book titled Linux for Windows Addicts | 05:24 |
| sizzam | pqlsztjoz: MandrakeSoft was forced to change its name as a result of losing litigation to the Hearst Corporation over the name Mandrake. The litigation concluded in February 2004, and appeals expired in early 2005. | 05:25 |
| Marco | I started playing with linux when I was 12 | 05:25 |
| jay_ | its all weird, like i am used to config.sys, autoexec.bat, the "chell" i guess command.com, linux is all new | 05:25 |
| Marco | maybe 10/11, not sure | 05:25 |
| kaiwen | Hi, is there a way to connect to a linux box (w/o monitor, therefore boots into login screen) with vnc viewer once the linux box boots?? | 05:25 |
| jay_ | shell* | 05:25 |
| venger | well that was one of many i think that one is only 4 or 5 years old | 05:25 |
| Marco | kaiwen, look into xvnc | 05:25 |
| kaiwen | !xvnc | 05:26 |
| ubottu | Sorry, I don't know anything about xvnc | 05:26 |
| kaiwen | ok | 05:26 |
| kaiwen | on the server side? or client side? Marco | 05:26 |
| Marco | kaiwen, it's a server | 05:26 |
| jay_ | can i just apt-get install apache? | 05:26 |
| kaiwen | ok cool, does it start before login? | 05:26 |
| Marco | kaiwen, install tightvncserver | 05:26 |
| jay_ | to start an http server | 05:26 |
| Marco | it does the work for you | 05:26 |
| Flannel | jay_: apache2, but yes. | 05:26 |
| kaiwen | Marco tight | 05:26 |
| Flannel | jay_: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/ApacheMySQLPHP | 05:26 |
| Marco | kaiwen, what it does is start an X session that is accessible only via VNC | 05:26 |
| chemokid | yea i don't want to affect performance if i can help it but having snapshots will definitely come in handy =/ | 05:27 |
| kaiwen | Marco ok, so do I need tight on both? or just server side. | 05:27 |
| sizzam | jay_: you can search for an app by using "apt-cache search apache" for example | 05:27 |
| Marco | tightvncserver pulls in and handles xvnc | 05:27 |
| bullgard4 | I installed the DEB program package 'sensors-applet'. A command 'sensors-applet' does not produce any output. How to display the sensors-applet on the upper panel? | 05:27 |
| jay_ | i have innotek virutal box, how would you compare that to VMware? | 05:27 |
| kaiwen | Marco, ok let me install it on server first | 05:28 |
| sizzam | bullgard4: rightclick the panel and choose "add to panel", and then see if you find it in the list | 05:28 |
| bullgard4 | sizzam: I have done so. I cannot find it in this list. | 05:28 |
| Marco | kaiwen, you'll have to set it to autostart | 05:28 |
| kaiwen | Marco autostart? once login? | 05:28 |
| kaiwen | Marco, what do you mean. | 05:29 |
| Marco | kaiwen, you want the vnc server to start as soon as the computer boots up, right? | 05:29 |
| sizzam | bullgard4: its called "Hardware Sensors Monitor" | 05:29 |
| kaiwen | Marco corret | 05:29 |
| joejoecircusboy | chemokid: still there? | 05:29 |
| RequinB41 | Ok - So I managed to fix that weird problem by deleting an image file and restarting X... But now pcmanfm starts up every time I go to places - bookmarks - FOLDER.... | 05:29 |
| mua`dib | hi all.... | 05:30 |
| chemokid | joejoecircusboy: yup | 05:30 |
| Marco | kaiwen, ya, you'll have to automatically run tightvncserver at startup | 05:30 |
| kaiwen | Marco ok, how do i configure it to do so | 05:30 |
| Bob535 | Okay, So I'm really really stuck. Here's the situation, I tried to update my Nvidia driver using the manual install package from Nvidia (after having the regular restricted drivers installed and working correctly) and not only did it not work, I cannot even get the old drivers to reinstall and initialize correctly. Anyone able to help? | 05:30 |
| Marco | kaiwen, tbh, I don't recall | 05:30 |
| mua`dib | is there a way to install a package in a specific directory ? | 05:30 |
| Templar_Xion | join #bsd | 05:30 |
| joejoecircusboy | chemokid: sorry, my connection died.. Are you building a production system? | 05:30 |
| kostmo | has anyone here seen those USB rocket launchers? | 05:30 |
| kostmo | or own one? | 05:30 |
| chemokid | joejoecircusboy: this is what i said before you got disconnected "yea i don't want to affect performance if i can help it but having snapshots will definitely come in handy =/ " | 05:30 |
| bullgard4 | sizzam: Let me see if I can get a German translation for '"Hardware Sensors Monitor". Otherwise I would have to restart X in English to see if I can install "Hardware Sensors Monitor". | 05:31 |
| chemokid | joejoecircusboy: hopefully in the end, yes | 05:31 |
| ganu | how to find an user's group as well as to which are all the groups he belongs | 05:31 |
| joejoecircusboy | chemokid: My the ops strike me down: Why are you using Ubuntu then? (Not the best server distro, IMO) | 05:31 |
| joejoecircusboy | *may | 05:32 |
| chemokid | but right now i just freed up one server to set up ubuntu-server on and then try kvm to see if it's fast enough | 05:32 |
| chemokid | joejoecircusboy: i use centos as well | 05:32 |
| kaiwen | Marco, I know how to make it autostart on bootup, but how do i configure it? | 05:33 |
| joejoecircusboy | chemokid: Ya, I would use that over Ubuntu in this case | 05:33 |
| RoshanK | anyone install counterstrike source in ubuntu yet? is it possible just using wine or would i have to purchase/subscribe to cedega as well | 05:33 |
| joejoecircusboy | chemokid: Anyway, I use LVM on several system (both at work and at home), never ran into any problems | 05:33 |
| chemokid | joejoecircusboy: doesn't centos and rhel only officially have xen for virtualization right now? | 05:34 |
| RequinB41 | How to retore nautilus to the default fm? | 05:34 |
| sizzam | kaiwen: i wrote a post in the forums showing how i set up a headless server with vnc, http://ubuntuforums.org/showpost.php?p=5163772&postcount=2 | 05:34 |
| Marco | kaiwen, tightvncserver -geometry 1280x1024 -depth 32 | 05:34 |
| Marco | kaiwen, run man tightvncserver | 05:35 |
| Marco | everything you need to know is there | 05:35 |
| kaiwen | Marco and sizzam, thanks, i'll check them otu ;) | 05:35 |
| joejoecircusboy | chemokid: Officially ya.... but I think KVM packages are offered through the repos... But on that topic, Xen is probably a better choice for your case too | 05:35 |
| RoshanK | sizzam: sorry im a noob but for step 4, are you making a text file or what? | 05:36 |
| sizzam | RoshanK: yes, its a text file (a shell script) | 05:36 |
| chemokid | joejoecircusboy: it's my understanding, based on what i've been reading, that redhat will be moving away from xen and focus more on kvm | 05:37 |
| joejoecircusboy | chemokid: really? Interesting.... BUt that might be for political reasons, not pure technical ones | 05:37 |
| RoshanK | sizzam: so i installed ssh on a xubuntu pc yesterday, and had to remove monitor and all. its possible to install vnc according to ur guide over ssh correct? | 05:37 |
| acornstar | my vertical scroll area on my touch pad is wider than neccesary. How can I reduce it? | 05:38 |
| sizzam | RoshanK: yep, it can all be done over ssh. these instructions will get the vnc session up and running with fluxbox as the window manager (as opposed to xfce or gnome) | 05:38 |
| RoshanK | oh ok | 05:38 |
| me_liee | ummmmmmmmmmmmm | 05:38 |
| chemokid | joejoecircusboy: yea, i've been looking into both xen and kvm, and it seems they are pushing kvm more because it's easier for their developers to maintain, since xen guests require modified kernels | 05:39 |
| joejoecircusboy | chemokid: if you're looking to run multiple headless linux guest instances on a linux host, I think Xen is your best option in terms of least overhead/performance | 05:39 |
| RoshanK | sizzam: thank you for the instructions and really sorry about the noob questions | 05:39 |
| sizzam | RoshanK: you're welcome and no problem at all | 05:39 |
| chemokid | joejoecircusboy: yea that's what i'm aiming for | 05:39 |
| chemokid | to have at least three virtual servers on one physical machine | 05:40 |
| joejoecircusboy | chemokid: Ya, the guest kernels are modified so they are aware they are in a VM, and 'cooperate' with the host kernel... that's what makes it so light/fast | 05:40 |
| joejoecircusboy | chemokid: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Paravirtualization | 05:40 |
| Erick|Laptop | How do I get XGL? | 05:43 |
| Erick|Laptop | GLX* | 05:43 |
| chemokid | alright, i'll give both xen and kvm a shot tomorrow and next week | 05:44 |
| joejoecircusboy | chemokid: cool, have fun! | 05:44 |
| chemokid | i'll go with whichever one is more responsive | 05:44 |
| chemokid | thx | 05:44 |

| Wulfie_lappy | hey folks - I have a strange problem. I have hardy installed on a macbook pro (rev2 - ati graphics card) and overtime my screen dims (even during use) until it finally blacks out. I can use the brightness key to make it go back up but then it dims again. | 05:47 |
| jay_ | after useing apt-get install ssh , what else do you recommend to keep your shell secure? | 05:47 |
| Erick|Laptop | This is really getting to be a pain because I need to use Blender, and it won't let me because of the error "Xlib: extention 'GLX' missing on display ':0.0'." | 05:48 |
| KevinO | Wulfie_lappy, its a screen saver | 05:48 |

| RoshanK | how do i create public keys for ssh sessions? i've heard it should be more secure than passwords. also if im trying to log in from a pc different than my laptop or such, can i just carry the said public key on my usb pen drive and use it in putty on another pc? | 06:19 |
| AngryPunk | joejoecircusboy, ive got programs in there that i cant seem to run, i assume thats the problem | 06:19 |

| elijah | how do i connect to my windows xp from ubuntu through a crossover cable | 06:20 |
| joejoecircusboy | AngryPunk: The default path includes local/bin... but you can double-check by doing an 'echo $PATH' | 06:20 |
| joejoecircusboy | RoshanK: ssh-keygen | 06:20 |
| joejoecircusboy | RoshanK: You'll need to convert to putty's key format first (putty has some tool to do this) | 06:21 |
| AngryPunk | joejoecircusboy, yup its already in there... when i try to run cobc -x myfile.cob it spits out /usr/bin/cobc no such file | 06:22 |
| === tscolin is now known as _tscolin | ||
| joejoecircusboy | RoshanK: It's debatable whether or not key auth is more secure than password auth (pros/cons to each) | 06:22 |
| joejoecircusboy | RoshanK: Key auth is a hell of a lot more convenient though :) | 06:22 |
| RoshanK | joejoecircusboy: so i jsut run ssh-keygen in terminal over putty and it outputs a key file? | 06:22 |
| joejoecircusboy | AngryPunk: do a "file `which cobc`" << backticks | 06:23 |
| elijah | please, i need to transfer files from my xp machine to ubuntu, i know it is easier than it seems | 06:23 |
| joejoecircusboy | RoshanK: It will write id files to your home/.ssh | 06:23 |
| RoshanK | joejoecircusboy: also would it be just alright if i change my user's password to something thats maybe 15 characters long with small and caps, numbers and symbols | 06:23 |
| bullgard4 | Hardware_Sensors_Monitor on my IBM T42 laptop computer shows 8 temperature icons on my upper panel. Is this normal? | 06:23 |
| RoshanK | joejoecircusboy: so i can simply scp that to my laptop and log in using putty somehow? | 06:24 |
| joejoecircusboy | RoshanK: alright in what regards? Correct system operation? yes | 06:24 |
| joejoecircusboy | RoshanK: yep, you'll want to covert the private key to putty's format first, then load your key in putty-agent | 06:24 |
| RoshanK | joejoecircusboy, security wise., i checked the auth.log file and saw multiple attempted log-ins for my pc with ssh server after i installed it just yesterday | 06:24 |
| joejoecircusboy | RoshanK: Ah, yeah, key auth make that type of attack impossible | 06:25 |
| joejoecircusboy | RoshanK: (Presuming you disable password auth in your sshd conf) | 06:25 |
| RoshanK | joejoecircusboy: and then simply turn of passwrd auth and it should be good right? | 06:25 |
| AngryPunk | joejoecircusboy: thanks | 06:25 |
| joejoecircusboy | RoshanK: yep | 06:25 |

| EdijusXP | Thank you. | 06:39 |
| joejoecircusboy | RoshanK: Basically, it caches your key in memory so you don't have to keep typing in you passphrase http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ssh-agent | 06:39 |
| m4lmsteen | yes just set it aything 192.168.1.50 | 06:39 |

| joejoecircusboy | error404notfound: hmm... if you grep for totem, what does it have open? | 06:50 |
| choudesh | gerry_hanan_, though I don't know your issue - network configuration can be left till after the system is installed | 06:50 |
| wols_ | !PM | paolo_ | 06:50 |
| ubottu | paolo_: 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. | 06:50 |

| choudesh | joejoecircusboy, gerry_hanan_ : sorry for jumping in | 06:50 |
| gerry_hanan_ | choudesh, it cannot, because this is a minimal install.... | 06:50 |
| EugenMayer | i installed the kernel with kernel-package and installed the ati driver with deb packagaes | 06:50 |
| paolo_ | wols_: | Status=Not/Installed/Config-f/Unpacked/Failed-cfg/Half-inst/t-aWait/T-pend | 06:50 |
| gerry_hanan_ | choudesh, forgiven. | 06:50 |
| joejoecircusboy | choudesh: no worries | 06:51 |
| wols_ | paolo_: please stop talking to me anymore | 06:51 |
| gerry_hanan_ | joejoecircusboy, I ran a terminal from a boot sub menu, but it doesn't have iwlist... :( | 06:51 |
| ganes | i want the brief detail about the user & group id | 06:51 |
| choudesh | gerry_hanan_, mind stating your issue again? | 06:51 |
| paolo_ | wols_: I guess you realized you said bs | 06:51 |
| joejoecircusboy | gerry_hanan_: Ya, I would just continue with the install.. .we can fix the network later, once we have a real environment | 06:51 |
| wols_ | paolo_: if you're too ignorant to read it's not my problem. now please go away | 06:51 |
| xubuntunoob | guys | 06:52 |

| EugenMayer | wols_: i followed your advice, finally got the kernel install through kernel-package, compiled the ati drivers, installed them and looking at dmesg they shuld work http://pastebin.com/m206193bc ...xorg cant stil load them though, any ideas where i could look further? | 06:52 |

| xubuntunoob | im getting the box soon | 06:54 |
| wols_ | xubuntunoob: ubuntu server. you can use any ubuntu version but ubuntu server seems to be the closest thing you need | 06:54 |
| joejoecircusboy | choudesh: Isn't that optimized for VM guests? (and missing a bunch of drivers) | 06:54 |
| ansichart | wols_, Using update-rs.d? Isn't that if you want to REMOVE the script in /etc/init.d? I want to keep the script so I am able to start the service manually... I just don't want it to start when it my system boots. So, I wouldn't use update-rc.d would I? I would just remove the link located in /etc/rc3.d/ right? Sorry, I just want to make sure, because I don't want to screw anything up. | 06:54 |
| EugenMayer | wols_: can you remember how to pipe to a pastebin?because that file i kind of large ./ | 06:54 |

| choudesh | joejoecircusboy, it is. but someone already said server/minimal so I figure I would through out JEOS | 06:55 |
| xubuntunoob | i meant GUI | 06:55 |

| wols_ | ansichart: update-rc.d. and no it's not for removing init.d scripts. there is nothing to remove those | 06:55 |
| xubuntunoob | yes i need a GUI, which GUI, KDE, GNOME OR XFCE | 06:55 |
| Blaqlight | or does nobody know anything about PGP? | 06:56 |
| Thezanke | What are the possiblities of installing ubuntu desktop to a 320g usb drive with grub on THAT drive so i can just select it as the boot device without grub being on my pc/laptop itself | 06:56 |
| choudesh | xubuntunoob, https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Installation/LowMemorySystems gives a good quick overview of windowing enviroments | 06:56 |
| gerry_hanan_ | 320g usb drive?!?!? | 06:56 |
| joejoecircusboy | Thezanke: It's possible, if your motherboard supports booting from USB | 06:56 |
| choudesh | Thezanke, very high. ;-) | 06:56 |
| jjbin | how could I post in the official bbs of the Ubuntu after my registing,is it need some time or something else?? | 06:56 |
| choudesh | Thezanke, let me grab you a link | 06:57 |
| EugenMayer | wols_: http://pastebin.com/f3cf56134 | 06:57 |
| Thezanke | joejoecircusboy, it does | 06:57 |
| joejoecircusboy | Thezanke: Should be straightforward then | 06:57 |
| xubuntunoob | ok thanks guise | 06:57 |
| xurxo | When I go on Brasero Burning, and select Copy CD/DVD, under "select a drive to write to" i am only given the option of "file image". I would like to write to my other CD drive, but it does not give me the option. could anyone help me please? | 06:57 |
| Blaqlight | gerry_hanan_, its the super duper USB drive. | 06:57 |
| Thezanke | choudesh, thank youu.. i just tried but the auto install put grub on my pc had to run fixmbr | 06:57 |
| RoshanK | joejoecircusboy: so i generated the key, copied over using winscp. converted it via puttygen, gave it the right passkey and everything, but when i try and log in to the ssh server using putty and the ppk file generated i get "server refused our key". any idea on what may be wrong? | 06:57 |
| joejoecircusboy | xurxo: create an image first, then write that image to a new disk | 06:57 |
| xubuntunoob | later niggaz | 06:57 |
| swp0743 | hey guys | 06:57 |
| joejoecircusboy | RoshanK: Did you copy your pub key to authorized_keys2? | 06:57 |
| joejoecircusboy | RoshanK: (or authorized_keys) | 06:58 |
| Detrix | I need help with getting ubuntu to dial-out on a dial-up connection. | 06:58 |
| choudesh | Thezanke, https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Installation/FromUSBStick -- but you may want to select the advanced option before it installs grub to tell it which device to install it on | 06:58 |
| ubuntu | I'm getting an error 15: file not found when I do find/boot/grub/stage1 | 06:58 |
| RoshanK | joejoecircusboy: ? | 06:58 |
| EugenMayer | wols_: looking at the log, i would suggest he did not even tried to load fglrx...but ubuntu starts in /save/ mode because he could not load properly | 06:58 |
| ubuntu | please help me | 06:58 |
| ansichart | wols_, Why does the man page for update-rc.d say "When invoked with the remove option, update-rc.d removes any links in the /etc/rcrunlevel.d directories to the script /etc/init.d/name. The script must have been deleted already. If the script is still present then update-rc.d aborts with an error message." What does it mean, 'the script must have been deleted already'? | 06:58 |
| swp0743 | does anyone know if ill be able to run ubutnu 8 server on a p1 with minimnakl services ????? | 06:58 |
| joejoecircusboy | RoshanK: do a 'ls ~/.ssh' and paste here | 06:58 |
| EugenMayer | swamptin: you will | 06:58 |
| EugenMayer | swp0743: you will | 06:58 |

| choudesh | swp0743, yes - it should run - but if the machine has little memory - https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Installation/LowMemorySystems | 06:59 |
| RoshanK | id_rsa id_rsa.pub known_hosts | 06:59 |

| RoshanK | joejoecircusboy: id_rsa id_rsa.pub known_hosts | 06:59 |
| ansichart | wols_, sounds like I am suppose to delete the script in /etc/init.d/ before using update-rc.d? According to the man page anyway, unless I am misunderstanding it. | 06:59 |
| swp0743 | i really need that 2.6 kernel | 06:59 |
| joejoecircusboy | RoshanK: do a 'cp ~/.ssh/id_rsa.pub ~/.ssh/authorized_keys' | 06:59 |
| RoshanK | ohh ok | 06:59 |
| EugenMayer | wols_: that one wasnt for me, or? | 06:59 |
| depeshe-node | <wols_> thank you, I'll try this | 07:00 |

| Thezanke | choudesh, its a portable usb harddrive.. sorry if that was confusion | 07:00 |
| joejoecircusboy | RoshanK: THe authorized_keys file is actually the only file you need on the server (Yes, try logging in) | 07:00 |
| swp0743 | what was that link again ? | 07:00 |
| EugenMayer | wols_: sorry missed the highlight.. | 07:00 |

| jjbin | how could I post in the official bbs of the Ubuntu after my registing,is it need some time or something else?? | 07:01 |
| choudesh | Thezanke, yes - it should install and run fine - though it may be slow if it is only USB1...don't expect the best performance though (I say this just because - performance should be fine) | 07:01 |
| swp0743 | dude what was the link for low memory ???? | 07:01 |
| wols_ | ansichart: no. read the examples in the manpage | 07:01 |
| choudesh | swp0743, https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Installation/LowMemorySystems | 07:01 |

| wols_ | depeshe-node: erm, the madwifi driver | 07:01 |
| swp0743 | how about if i create a swap and mount it before installation | 07:02 |
| elijah | how do i find out my mainboard in ubuntu (like cpuid) | 07:02 |
| swp0743 | ???? | 07:02 |
| choudesh | Thezanke, then it should be fine. I personally have a few (39 to be exact) VM versions of Ubuntu installed to a USB harddrive | 07:02 |
| wols_ | elijah: lshw | 07:02 |
| joejoecircusboy | elijah: lspci can help you identify your MB chipset | 07:02 |
| swp0743 | choudesh any ideas ? | 07:02 |
| wols_ | elijah: cpuid has nothing to do with the mainboard btw | 07:02 |
| choudesh | swp0743, about what? please prepend my name. | 07:02 |
| swp0743 | coz i dont even have that 32 mb that it states is minimal | 07:02 |
| choudesh | !busy | swp0743 | 07:03 |
| ubottu | Sorry, I don't know anything about busy | 07:03 |
| swp0743 | whaaa ? | 07:03 |
| wols_ | swp0743: you cannot use it. the initrd alone will kill you. ubuntu won't really run on 32MB either | 07:03 |
| joejoecircusboy | wols_: cpuid is software for Windows (which can identify hardware, among other things) | 07:03 |
| Detrix | I need help with getting ubuntu to dial-out on a dial-up connection. | 07:03 |
| swp0743 | daaamn it | 07:03 |
| wols_ | !dialup | 07:03 |
| ubottu | You want to connect via dial-up? Read https://help.ubuntu.com/community/DialupModemHowto - Also try disabling/removing KNetworkManager if KDE applications cannot connect using dial-up | 07:03 |
| dislo | joejoecircusboy, thank you for the help and i was wondering how can i get disk info like what the file system on a device is | 07:03 |
| xurxo | joejoecircusboy: would you think that burning it from an image would change anything whatsoever. no, right? | 07:03 |
| Detrix | I know... | 07:03 |
| swp0743 | how about xubuntu ??? no x | 07:03 |
| Flannel | swp0743: technically the hard limit is 8MB, but you really don't want to run Ubuntu on anything that small. | 07:03 |
| choudesh | wols_, JEOS should run. I have JEOS running on a few embedded devices with only 32mb | 07:03 |
| wols_ | dislo: is the device mounted already? | 07:03 |
| depeshe-node | <wols_> I've tried using madwifi before, and the file pointed to by all the tutorials was an empty .tar | 07:04 |

| Flannel | swp0743: There are better distros out there for older systems, you should look into them (try DeLiLinux) | 07:04 |
| paolo_ | is there anyway to check if a package has been installed with apt-get install or with apt-get source ... ? | 07:04 |

| dislo | wols_, sorry about that | 07:04 |
| swp0743 | i know there are but here is the thing | 07:04 |
| wols_ | swp0743: look into damnsmallinux or such | 07:04 |
| gerry_hanan_ | AQUSHFS errors. | 07:04 |
| joejoecircusboy | xurxo: if burning to an image first your only option, then I'd go with it :) | 07:04 |
| gerry_hanan_ | SQUASHFS* | 07:04 |

| swp0743 | 3com and xircom | 07:05 |
| elijah | joejoecircusboy, wols_ thanks, i wanted to find out the actual retail model | 07:05 |
| swp0743 | its pcmcia | 07:05 |
| elijah | cpuid does that | 07:05 |
| EugenMayer | wols_: should i just be patient or try for myself ? | 07:05 |
| wols_ | swp0743: those aren't network chips but manufacturer. exact chip please | 07:05 |
| swp0743 | i know for sure ubuntu 7 desktio supoorts it | 07:05 |
| swp0743 | hold on | 07:05 |
| wols_ | EugenMayer: you should do what I told you | 07:05 |
| joejoecircusboy | dislo: Hmm.... maybe try install gnome-hardware-manager | 07:06 |
| gerry_hanan_ | trying to install 8.04 on an old HP desktop, and I am getting lots of "init: ttyn main process ended, respawning" where n= any of the 6 tty's... and lots of garbage in between- buffer I/O error, SQUASHFS errors... anyone have any bright ideas or light of understanding? That's utter giberish to me. | 07:06 |
| ansichart | wols_, Alright, I think I got it now. Thanks! | 07:06 |
| EugenMayer | wols_: sorry, i should have missed it..kopete isnt thatt good in highligh. Do you have the line?i just scrolled up and searched, did not find anythin | 07:06 |
| swp0743 | fuck i dunno teh chips | 07:06 |
| joejoecircusboy | dislo: sorry, gnome-device-manager | 07:06 |
| swp0743 | gotta oogle it | 07:06 |
| dislo | joejoecircusboy, well i just wanted to see if it formated correctly | 07:07 |
| wols_ | EugenMayer: Xorg.0.log. in a pastebin | 07:07 |
| swp0743 | what diffrent does it make ? | 07:07 |
| joejoecircusboy | dislo: Can you give me more details/info? (not really sure what you're trying to do) | 07:07 |
| wols_ | swp0743: lspci? or is it pcmcia? | 07:07 |
| wbmj | gerry_hanan:probably a bad burn or a dying cdrom | 07:07 |
| paolo_ | this is my question: I want to know if a package has been installed using apt-get install or if it has been installed with apt-get source (how do i distinguish these two) | 07:07 |
| EugenMayer | wols_: you must have missed it, i pasted it befoer : http://pastebin.com/f3cf56134 | 07:07 |
| joejoecircusboy | gerry_hanan_: Sounds like corrupted install CD or bad memory | 07:07 |
| swp0743 | pcmcia | 07:07 |
| swp0743 | its an old lappy | 07:07 |
| swp0743 | thing is i tried it both on 2.4 2.5 dmesg wotn even see em | 07:08 |
| swp0743 | any suggestions guys ? | 07:08 |
| wols_ | EugenMayer: you areusing vesa, not ati drivers. | 07:08 |
| wols_ | EugenMayer: dpkg -l |grep -i fglrx | 07:08 |
| EugenMayer | wols_: just if you ask, here is the xorg.conf http://pastebin.com/f49605a4c | 07:08 |
| dislo | joejoecircusboy, i am at defcon and i am trying to hack my badge and i need to have a SD card that is formated fat16 and i was just wanting to make sure it is formated correctly | 07:08 |
| swp0743 | no one ? | 07:09 |
| wols_ | swp0743: use lspcmcia | 07:09 |
| wols_ | EugenMayer: I already asked.something different | 07:09 |
| EugenMayer | wols_: ouput : http://pastebin.com/m46beb1bd | 07:09 |
| joejoecircusboy | dislo: (right on, a few guys from my team are there too) Why don't you take the SD card out, and put it back in and see if it's mount? | 07:09 |
| John_kho | h | 07:09 |
| John_kho | hi | 07:09 |
| joejoecircusboy | dislo: *mounted | 07:09 |
| John_kho | are there anyone can help me with my webcam? | 07:09 |
| Rat409 | !ask | John_kho | 07:10 |
| ubottu | John_kho: Please don't ask to ask a question, ask the question (all on ONE line, so others can read and follow it easily). If anyone knows the answer they will most likely answer. :-) | 07:10 |
| wols_ | EugenMayer: looks kinda strange... is that a fallback Xorg.0.log or such? | 07:10 |
| EugenMayer | wols_: you might have missed that too, i said in the upper, that ubunut is booting in kind of safe-mode because it cannot load the graphics drivers. maybe this is the reason why the xorg.log seems to be,like i use vesa? | 07:10 |
| xurxo | ok its pissing me off!.here is the session log: Checking session consistency (brasero_burn_check_session_consistency burn.c:1714) | 07:11 |

| wols_ | trupheenix: I already did. and I told you NOT to talk to me anymore until you can give useful info as I asked | 07:25 |
| bullgard4 | joejoecircusboy: They are not labelled. The highest is 54°C. | 07:25 |

| ubottu | trupheenix: Wireless documentation can be found at https://help.ubuntu.com/community/WifiDocs | 07:26 |

| trupheenix | wols_: ok let me try | 07:27 |
| wols_ | ubuntu: the partition /Boot is on | 07:27 |
| joejoecircusboy | ubuntu: go with wol_ | 07:27 |
| bullgard4 | joejoecircusboy: I am curious if it is normal that the fan does not extinguish even though I do not touch the keyboard for a long time and web browser is not receiving animated Java scripts. | 07:27 |
| IcemanV9 | geev8: google mysql backup :-) it's fairly easy to do it on command line as you mentioned it is on the remote box | 07:27 |
| joejoecircusboy | bullgard4: by extinguish, you mean turn off? | 07:27 |
| ubuntu | wols_, I think my partitions are dead | 07:28 |
| trupheenix | wols_: after i do this, i can continue using network manager applet as usual right? i don't have to switch to wicd or something like that | 07:28 |

| geev8 | joejoecircusboy: so i need to populate the dBase with that file how do i do your help please | 07:28 |
| wols_ | ubuntu: state your actual problem more clearly. to check your partitions, boot from a livecd and do a sudo fdisk -l | 07:28 |
| wols_ | geev8: for the 2nd time phpmyadmin | 07:29 |
| ubuntu | joejoecircusboy, doesn't work | 07:29 |
| RoshanK | joejoecircusboy: question is sort of OT, but where would u store your ssh private keys? email? usb? | 07:29 |
| justin__ | what is the command for eterm? | 07:29 |
| ubuntu | wols_ I did that and I only see one partition | 07:29 |
| joejoecircusboy | ubuntu: ah, then it's not a quick solution... try what wols_ suggested above | 07:29 |
| trupheenix | wols_: someone gave instructions on how to use ipw3945. i think i will switch to that. http://www.ubuntugeek.com/using-ipw3945-instead-iwl3945-in-hardy.html | 07:29 |
| ubuntu | I had 3 before I reinstalled windows | 07:29 |

| boxershorts | hi | 07:30 |
| wols_ | EugenMayer: why do you need this particular fglrx? | 07:30 |
| EugenMayer | wols_: iam googling allreadz | 07:30 |
| bullgard4 | joejoecircusboy: Yes, automatically turn off at low load. | 07:30 |
| wols_ | trupheenix: no you don't. not with a 2.6.24 kernel | 07:30 |
| RoshanK | joejoecircusboy: k thanks. but if i do lose the file for some stupid reason, i can simply go to the machine and create new key file and copy it over to authorized keys correct | 07:31 |
| EugenMayer | wols_: underclocking or better, just powersaving | 07:31 |
| joejoecircusboy | geev8: Ya, I would google that.. should be straightforward as the others say | 07:31 |
| justin__ | at gnome-look.org what themes do i look for. I am using the gnome ubuntu 8.04 | 07:31 |
| trupheenix | wols_: ok once i get the firm ware how do I patch it? I'm pretty scared to do it without any guidance :( | 07:31 |
| RoshanK | justin_ i believe it is gsm that u look for | 07:31 |
| joejoecircusboy | RoshanK: Yeah, though.. if you disable password auth, you better have console access ;) | 07:31 |
| wols_ | trupheenix: why patch it? | 07:31 |
| RoshanK | joejoecircusboy: k thanks | 07:31 |
| joejoecircusboy | bullgard4: try running 'top', is anything using the CPU? | 07:31 |
| RoshanK | justin_: sorry i meant to say gdm* | 07:32 |
| wols_ | EugenMayer: try ubuntu supported drivers for a change | 07:32 |
| justin__ | RoshanK, ok thanks | 07:32 |
| justin__ | RoshanK, GDM do you mean? | 07:32 |
| EugenMayer | wols_: they are quite old and as far as i can see are not supporting x1400 | 07:32 |
| justin__ | RoshanK, :) k | 07:32 |
| RoshanK | justin_: sorry, gdm themes were for logins | 07:32 |
| RoshanK | justin_: i believe that it was gtk 2.x and so on | 07:33 |
| Bblan | how does one choose which wifi device to use for access? | 07:33 |
| Bblan | I have an internal iwp2100 and an external hwug1 usb | 07:33 |
| Bblan | and would like to use the external as it is 802.11g | 07:33 |
| EugenMayer | wols_: and i fear it will run into problems with the custom kernel | 07:34 |
| wbmj | justin_: GDM are login themes.....metacity are window theme....gtk2........widget themes | 07:34 |
| EugenMayer | wols_: i saw there are drivers for intrepid, but no idea how to unmask them | 07:34 |
| geev8 | joejoecircusboy: i was given this command @$ mysql -uUser -pPassword dBase_name < file_name.sql | 07:34 |
| trupheenix | wols: ok i just push it into that directory. i gotcha | 07:34 |
| joejoecircusboy | geev8: Ya, that seems right (but you'll have to create the database first in that case) | 07:34 |
| trupheenix | wols_: ok i gotcha. just copy the micro code into the firm ware directory and everything should HOPEFULLY work correct? | 07:35 |
| geev8 | joejoecircusboy: when i do execute if fail | 07:35 |
| bullgard4 | joejoecircusboy: %CPU gconf, Xorg, sensors-applet: all 0.7%. No more. | 07:35 |
| joejoecircusboy | bullgard4: hmm | 07:35 |
| joejoecircusboy | bullgard4: what CPU? | 07:35 |
| geev8 | joejoecircusboy: database is created already | 07:35 |

Even after all my windows are closed down and it's just the video playing. What do you think is causing this? Low memory? | 07:37 |
| joejoecircusboy | SBSBIN: Interesting, thanks | 07:38 |
| joejoecircusboy | SBSBIN: Anyway, what's the problem? | 07:38 |
| Trinithis | Or at the very least, have it so that the Synaptic Package Manager does not recognize it... | 07:38 |
| pen | Why my wireless switch would turn off the wireless but can't turn it back on? | 07:38 |
| SBSBIN | I make it and when I run it the thing sends a message and then stalls | 07:38 |
| SBSBIN | I'm curious why | 07:38 |
| bullgard4 | joejoecircusboy: Intel pentium M processor at 1.7 GHz. | 07:38 |
| pen | could anyone provide me a solution to that? | 07:38 |
| xPhilosx | uhh, quick question, im using Ubuntu Hardy, no matter what I do after I edit /etc/network/interfaces, it refuses to assign a static IP | 07:38 |
| joejoecircusboy | SBSBIN: Can you pastebin the output? | 07:38 |
| xPhilosx | why wont Ubuntu allow me to manually configure my eth connections? | 07:39 |
| SBSBIN | I'll just type it: "DCE-RPC tester." | 07:39 |
| SBSBIN | that's it | 07:39 |
| harsha | Hi | 07:39 |
| SBSBIN | with a newline character | 07:39 |
| harsha | any budy the | 07:39 |
| harsha | any budy ther | 07:39 |
| SBSBIN | but that's not visible | 07:39 |
| xPhilosx | I end up with the same defaulted garbage each time I change my network interfaces file | 07:39 |
| joejoecircusboy | bullgard4: can you do a 'cat /sys/devices/system/cpu/cpu0/cpufreq/scaling_governor' ? | 07:40 |
| SBSBIN | so yeah, not sure what the problem is. I used make and ran the ./configure file | 07:40 |
| joejoecircusboy | SBSBIN: What does strace show? | 07:40 |
| joejoecircusboy | xPhilosx: it should, what's the problem? | 07:40 |
| SBSBIN | the last line has a connect function | 07:41 |
| joejoecircusboy | SBSBIN: Can you telnet to port 135 on the host you're scanning? | 07:41 |
| Vooloo | is it possible to toggle off the title and borders of a window? like you can in fluxbox | 07:41 |
| xPhilosx | joejoecircusboy, no idea, it keeps defaulting to a DHCP address | 07:41 |
| joejoecircusboy | SBSBIN: i.e. can you establish a TCP connection to 135 | 07:41 |
| pen | Why my wireless switch would turn off the wireless but can't turn it back on? | 07:41 |
| pen | could anyone provide me a solution to that? | 07:41 |
| xPhilosx | in fact, it refuses to allow me to reset the eth0 settings | 07:41 |
| SBSBIN | lemme try | 07:41 |
| === Archess is now known as Hellixir | ||
| joejoecircusboy | xPhilosx: hmm did you disable "roaming" or whatever it's called | 07:42 |
| Trinithis | "E: libghc6-hgl-dev: Package is in a very bad inconsistent state - you should" | 07:42 |
| xPhilosx | joejoecircusboy, yeah, but it wont disable, roaming seems to be the only thing that works | 07:42 |
| SBSBIN | trying... | 07:42 |
| xPhilosx | the auto settings are totally screwing with my manual config | 07:42 |
| SBSBIN | alright, that's likely the problem then | 07:42 |
| bullgard4 | joejoecircusboy: scaling governor is 'ondemand'. | 07:43 |
| joejoecircusboy | SBSBIN: I think the host you're scanning has it's firewall up and you can't connect to the DCE/RPC service (on 135/TCP on Windows) | 07:43 |
| SBSBIN | it's just hanging without any communication back from the host | 07:43 |
| SBSBIN | well, I'm trying to connect from a vm to my desktop | 07:43 |
| Bblan | how does one select which wifi device to use in network-manager? | 07:43 |
| SBSBIN | so they're on the same host | 07:43 |
| joejoecircusboy | SBSBIN: Ya, likely WIndows firewall... it just drops packets (doesn't bother resetting.) | 07:43 |
| SBSBIN | gotcha | 07:43 |
| notsonerdysunny | I already have already downloaded all the debian packages necessary. I am told by Dr. Google that I need to add the line "deb file:/<pathToDirectoryContainingDebs> debs/" But I am unable to figure out where .. can any body help me please.. | 07:43 |

| joejoecircusboy | Bblan: whats' the prob? | 07:46 |
| xPhilosx | joejoecircusboy, I think persistent rules was ruining me | 07:46 |

| ogzy | at my nvidia card on hardy when i run the xrandr -q i dont see any VGA or LVDS related output but just Screen 0 explanation, what is the reason of it? | 07:47 |

| joejoecircusboy | xPhilosx: oh, udev... ya ya... those are good things actually (I believe they ensure a given piece of hardware is always assigned the same device file) | 07:48 |

| Trinithis | What should I do when dpkg --purge does NOT work? | 07:48 |
| xPhilosx | joejoecircusboy, welp, ill see if that was my prob | 07:48 |
| belendax | Is there any software to view VSD files ? | 07:48 |
| joejoecircusboy | xPhilosx: Without that, you may find the ethernet devices change around (if you install a new one) | 07:48 |
| joejoecircusboy | bullgard4: try forcing your CPU to run at it's minimum speed, see if it cools down and the fans turn off | 07:49 |
| Onerice | Hi, I am having troubles with my microphone. It won't pick up sounds. I can hear that it is working through my headphones (only with master volume at max though), but ubuntu won't "hear" it... | 07:50 |
| joejoecircusboy | bullgard4: take the lowest available frequency value, and write it to scaling_max_freq. e.g. "echo 600000 > scaling_max_freq" | 07:50 |
| kane77 | is it OK if I just replace the CPU? will I have to reinstall? | 07:50 |
| PauloRicardo | People, there is any rmtrash for Linux? | 07:50 |
| Onerice | Anyone know what to do? | 07:50 |
| joejoecircusboy | Onerice: check your mixer setting | 07:50 |
| Onerice | joejoecircusboy: Which setting exactly? | 07:51 |
| joejoecircusboy | Onerice: Not sure, mess around in there ;) | 07:51 |
| Onerice | Tried that... | 07:51 |
| bullgard4 | joejoecircusboy: My time is running out. I will try to follow your recipe " take the lowest available frequency value, and write it to scaling_max_freq. e.g. "echo 600000 > scaling_max_freq"" later. -- Thank you very much for your help. | 07:51 |
| belendax | how can I view VSD files ? | 07:51 |
| joejoecircusboy | Onerice: Make sure the mic is in the correct jack? Other than that, no idea | 07:52 |
| Onerice | Haha. :) Thanks anyways | 07:52 |

| Scorp_ | Guys, I am unable to access the router page in ubuntu using firefox.. Its working with OpenSUSE/Firefox, Windows/Firefox but not ubuntu... What could be the reason ??? | 07:52 |
| Scorp_ | Its a Linksys Router!! | 07:53 |
| EugenMayer | wols_: i have solved it. i dont know who to blame more, the maintainer of the package or ATI devs, for being that dump to fail starting on missing a defaul profile...but a good question why it is not copied form the source common/etc/ati to/etc/ati | 07:53 |
| Onerice | Also, I can't start sound recorder. Says my audio capture settings are invalid. | 07:53 |
| mmm4m5m | hi all. I have few small questions about Evolution (moving slowly from windows/outlook 2000 to ubuntu). I have few mail accounts. (1) I can't see how to 'receive emails from specific account'. Is it possible? (2) I can't see how to 'create new email and send using non default email account. Is it possible? (3) I can't tell Evolution 'keep outgoing email in Outbox until I click send (send manually)'. Is it possible? | 07:53 |
| RoshanK | Scorp_: did you try entering the default ip for the router into firefox? | 07:54 |
| wickedpuppy | mmm4m5m: have you created email accounts ? | 07:54 |
| mmm4m5m | about (2): it is using non default email if I click reply but not for new created msgs | 07:54 |
| === sparr__ is now known as sparr | ||
| Scorp_ | RoshanK: Yeah.. its 192.168.1.1.. Thats wat i have been using all the while.. I used a liveCD of OpenSUSE and it can access... But Ubuntu cannot | 07:55 |
| mmm4m5m | wickedpuppy: yes, only one, using hotway (hotmail) + one default | 07:55 |
| RoshanK | Scorp_: its usually 192.168.x.xx | 07:55 |
| pen | Why my wireless switch would turn off the wireless but can't turn it back on? | 07:55 |
| pen | could anyone provide me a solution to that? | 07:55 |
| Scorp_ | RoshanK: yupp... thats wat am using... i get a prompt for username and password... after that just a blank white screen and loading at the bottom right... | 07:55 |
| wickedpuppy | mmm4m5m: i got 3 email accounts in my evolution ... and whenever i send i email , i can choose which account i send from ... | 07:55 |
| RoshanK | Scorp_:how are you connected to the router? ethernet cord? wireless card? it could be possible that the ddriver isnt loaded | 07:55 |
| RoshanK | Scorp_ oh thats weird | 07:56 |
| Marco | hello | 07:56 |
| mmm4m5m | wickedpuppy: ok, then this looks ok then. Maybe because default acc is disabled. Thank you. Anything about other questions? | 07:56 |
| Scorp_ | RoshanK: I was using Wireless, but just to confirm that its not a wireless problem, i used a wire and same issue.. Even to rule out the Linux issue, i used OpenSUSE and thats working... So it shudnt be an issue altogether... | 07:56 |
| === Anthony_ is now known as TeslaTony | ||
| RoshanK | Scorp_: im not an expert on this, but assuming, is it possibly a firefox issue on ur ubuntu installation? do u have noscript enabled or something that may keep it from continuing the loading? | 07:57 |
| wickedpuppy | mmm4m5m: since i got 3 accounts ... i can clearly choose which account i want to receive email from a specific account ... or all 3 | 07:57 |
| joejoecircusboy | Scorp_: can you open a terminal and run '/sbin/ifconfig -a', and paste the output? | 07:57 |
| Scorp_ | RoshanK: I believe there's something stopping the CGI Script from functioning properly... Is there anything that can be done about it ? | 07:58 |
| mmm4m5m | wickedpuppy: do you mean 'auto receive'? to setup every acc to be checked automatically or not? | 07:58 |
| Scorp_ | joejoecircusboy: http://paste.ubuntu.com/35420/ | 07:59 |
| RoshanK | Scorp_: have u installed any extensions in firefox on the ubunt install? | 07:59 |
| belendax | how can I view visio files ? | 07:59 |
| Scorp_ | RoshanK: No.. its a basic firefox 3... | 07:59 |
| wickedpuppy | mmm4m5m: mine does check email every 10 min .. hold on i check where i set it | 07:59 |
| Zeit|awy_ | with visio? | 07:59 |
| joejoecircusboy | belendax: Microsoft offers a visioviewer application (free download) that you can run in Wine | 07:59 |
| mmm4m5m | wickedpuppy: just enabled default acc. No change, I see only one 'send/receive' button in Evolution. Let me add more accounts. | 08:00 |
| joejoecircusboy | belendax: Alternatively, you can just run Visio in Wine. | 08:00 |
| mmm4m5m | wickedpuppy: no, it is not about auto check | 08:00 |
| jino | Hi | 08:00 |
| joejoecircusboy | Scorp_: Network looks good... Can you ping the router? | 08:00 |
| RoshanK | Scorp_: have any other broswer that can go to that ip address? maybe opera? if u dont then dont go install. im not an expert in this, so i wouldnt wanna waste ur time. but im just assuing that there's something in firefox that's preventing the loading of the page after authentication | 08:00 |
| wickedpuppy | mmm4m5m: sometimes in linux .... just do it | 08:00 |
| belendax | joejoecircusboy: is there any package for ubuntu ? | 08:00 |
| Scorp_ | joejoecircusboy, yeah... all that is perfectly working.. even using it to access the internet since a month now... But only that page wont load... | 08:01 |
| EugenMayer | wols_: thank you for your help of course | 08:01 |
| jino | How can we list directories??? | 08:01 |
| joejoecircusboy | belendax: for visio? No man, Visio is Windows software, commercial software at that (expensive commercial software...) | 08:01 |
| Scorp_ | RoshanK: I tried even Opera, that doesnt work too... | 08:01 |
| mmm4m5m | wickedpuppy: after outlook express I use outlook 2000 and I start using it this way: manual receive/send... anyway, auto check is also ok. Thank you very much | 08:01 |
| RoshanK | Scorp_: o.O | 08:01 |
| joejoecircusboy | Scorp_: oh, that's intereting... | 08:01 |
| belendax | joejoecircusboy: tnx a lot | 08:01 |
| joejoecircusboy | belendax: np | 08:02 |
| Scorp_ | RoshanK: joejoecircusboy, i think its basically something to do with Ubuntu.. I mean, could dere be a firewall or anyting lyk dat which is there by default ?? | 08:02 |
| wickedpuppy | mmm4m5m: try not to compare too much ... sooner or later you be hating linux | 08:02 |
| Scorp_ | joejoecircusboy: Is there anything that stops scripting ??? | 08:02 |
| RoshanK | Scorp_: on another note yesterday my 2wire gateway's home page had a weird error for apparently no reason | 08:02 |
| joejoecircusboy | Scorp_: Shouldn't matter, it's all server-side scripts I believe | 08:02 |
| RoshanK | Scorp_: and u said other pc's are able to access the router page though? | 08:03 |
| EugenMayer | what is the correct "ubuntu" way to mount network drives ( samba )? Using fstab seems to be wrong, as its called before networt is initialized and there are errors in the startup-logs, in addition there are problems on shutting down because the network is down before he tries to onmount | 08:03 |
| Scorp_ | RoshanK: yeah... even my little P1i mobile can.. so thats something thats really irritating... | 08:03 |

| jino | I cant play videos with my Opera from Youtube.com | 08:04 |
| mmm4m5m | wickedpuppy: do not be so sure :). already 6 months with ubuntu. But email accs and some other things not moved yet. | 08:04 |
| Chris| | is naming a distro "boxbuntu" break any laws? | 08:05 |
| RoshanK | jino: that has something to do with opera on ubuntu not having flash | 08:05 |
| Chris| | i heard canonical owns buntu | 08:05 |
| joejoecircusboy | EugenMayer: Why not use gnome mounts? | 08:05 |
| Blaqlight | Chris|, probably | 08:05 |
| RoshanK | jino: i remember that there was a somewhat harder time installing flash, but ill try and find a guide. i suggest u try as well | 08:05 |
| joejoecircusboy | EugenMayer: Places -> Connect to Server... | 08:05 |
| Scorp_ | joejoecircusboy: its come to a ">" what do i do after that ?? | 08:05 |
| wickedpuppy | mmm4m5m: 6 months is a period where you get to know the girl ... after that is complaints after complaints :P just don't think about your ex girlfriend anymore .. | 08:05 |
| Chris| | Blaqlight, thats what i'm thinking but there's also fluxbuntu.. | 08:06 |
| EugenMayer | joejoecircusboy: what is gnome-mounts? that location thingy which creates links /favs i cannot configure? | 08:06 |
| Chris| | whcih isnt owned by canonicals | 08:06 |
| jino | But it is work well in my Firefox and Flock browser!!!! | 08:06 |
| Blaqlight | Chris|, if they got permission | 08:06 |

| patrickferns | sorry to interupt but does anyone have any ideas about linksys routers and why they wont work with my modem? | 08:07 |
| joejoecircusboy | Scorp_: So wtf is Firefox doing wrong? | 08:07 |
| Blaqlight | joejoecircusboy, its hard to know whith a question like that... | 08:07 |
| joejoecircusboy | Blaqlight: rhetorical question... | 08:07 |
| RoshanK | jino: i know it works in firefox easily but next time when replying please enter the person who's nick ur replying to, ir else its a bit harder to notice | 08:07 |
| Scorp_ | joejoecircusboy: its not rendering the page at all... after entering the password, its just stops at 192.168.1.1/setup.cgi?Loadpage=setup.htm | 08:08 |
| RoshanK | Scorp_: i know i asked u this, but ur positive u didnt install any extension like noscript or maybe adblock plus on? | 08:08 |
| Scorp_ | joejoecircusboy: its basically not letting the CGI script move forward to the next page with the output... | 08:08 |
| joejoecircusboy | Scorp_: Try this... kill firefox, and move your .mozilla dir to .mozilla-bak, the restart firefox (fresh configuration), then try accessing your router | 08:08 |
| Scorp_ | RoshanK: nah.. I dont believe in so much security... | 08:08 |
| Blaqlight | Scorp_, are you sure setup.htm exists in the folder called upon by setup.cgi? | 08:09 |
| Scorp_ | Blaqlight: It does exist for all other OS, namely windows, A sony mobile, and OpenSUSE... so it should for Ubuntu too... | 08:09 |

| und3rgr0undz3r0 | RoshanK, yeah, tried that, also tried connecting wirelessly, nothings working | 08:15 |
| krypno1 | wols_: /media/cdrom exists and doesn't have anything mounted to it. I just didn't make a new dir. | 08:15 |

| luks_ | k i gave up trying to install ubuntu on a pendrive... its impossible | 08:15 |
| patrickferns | no it dont work wirelessly i tried to use the config cd but it wouldnt boot | 08:16 |
| RoshanK | luks_: what happened? | 08:16 |
| m11 | luks_: depends if your pc/usb support that | 08:16 |
| krypno1 | wols_: If I create a dir, it works from the terminal, but any ideas why no auto mount? | 08:16 |
| feaster83 | und3rgr0undz3r0: maybe you should configure your samba and add a domein or something like that. And did you check firewalls? | 08:16 |
| Vooloo | where do I change interface language? | 08:16 |
| feaster83 | und3rgr0undz3r0: domain* i mean | 08:17 |
| luks_ | RoshanK, mll i have usb support on my pc, but after installing it on the pendrive for some reason it does not mount the partitions | 08:17 |
| und3rgr0undz3r0 | feaster83, checked the firewalls, Im on a DMZ and the other machine is working fine, and is recognized my my OTEHR machines as well | 08:17 |
| patrickferns | i only have the firewall on ubuntu and samba? where would i add a domain sorry im a novice | 08:17 |
| und3rgr0undz3r0 | feaster83, whast the easiest way to configure samba? | 08:17 |
| uuser | OK i have install GParted and now i dont know how to load it.. HeLp? | 08:17 |
| luks_ | RoshanK, error 17 i think on grub... i did install the system but cant boot it... just from the ubuntu cd... like a common instalation insted of installing it on the harddrive i did it on the pendrive | 08:18 |
| krypno1 | wols_: nevermind. For some reason, /dev/sdb1 was listed as a optical type drive in /etc/fstab. Sorry to waste your time. | 08:18 |
| feaster83 | patrickferns: For samba there is a web interface to configure all. Otherwise you should check te files in /etc/samba/ | 08:18 |
| joejoecircusboy | (03:14:48 AM) Blaqlight: joejoecircusboy, gparted is installed default in ubuntu << you sure, I don't actually see it on mine | 08:18 |
| RoshanK | luks_: so wait u installed using live cd onto the pendrive instead of on the hard drive correct? | 08:19 |

| luks_ | RoshanK, i did some partitions on the pendrive... i did an ext3 swap and fat32 | 08:20 |
| joejoecircusboy | Blaqlight: odd, I don't recall uninstalling it | 08:20 |
| Blaqlight | joejoecircusboy, type gparted in a terminal | 08:20 |

| joejoecircusboy | Blaqlight: I did, not in path.. (and not listed in dpkg --list either) | 08:20 |
| feaster83 | und3rgr0undz3r0: check samba.org how to use the web interface. I think you'll find the info at that site. Otherwise google is your friend ;) | 08:21 |
| luks_ | RoshanK, well... that doesnt solve the problem because that guide tells you how to "copy" ubuntu cd onto the pendrive... what i tried to do was "install" it so i could install software and customize ubuntu on the pendrive like if i was doin it from a hard drive installation | 08:21 |
| Blaqlight | johnny@ubuntujohn:~$ dpkg --list | grep gparted | 08:21 |
| Blaqlight | ii gparted 0.3.5-1ubuntu3 | 08:21 |
| RoshanK | luks: are you sure? according to the guide it seems like an install on drive | 08:21 |
| Dexikiix | ello? | 08:21 |
| RoshanK | luks_: in case i gave u wrong link http://www.pendrivelinux.com/2008/04/14/ubuntu-804-usb-hard-drive-install/ | 08:22 |
| luks_ | RoshanK, in both cases... it doesnt work | 08:23 |
| joejoecircusboy | Blaqlight: I 9or something) must have uninstalled it then | 08:23 |
| RoshanK | luks_: error 17 in grub, im not sure, but i think it has something to do with it not finding the correct partition in which it had to boot from | 08:23 |
| Blaqlight | joejoecircusboy, I might be wrong. | 08:23 |
| RoshanK | luks_: h/o ill look it up. u can try too i guess | 08:23 |

| Blaqlight | munichlinux, suggestion... upgrade man. | 08:27 |
| luks_ | Blaqlight, mmmmmmmm how about... BIOS, do they give you an option to disconnect drivers or something like that? | 08:28 |
| feaster83 | coffinzm: did you try(test) an other mouse device? | 08:28 |
| Blaqlight | luks_, not in MY laptop bios it doesn't | 08:28 |
| munichlinux | Blaqlight, upgrade what? | 08:28 |
| coffinzm | i did, a usb mouse works fine | 08:28 |
| munichlinux | dont say 8.04 | 08:28 |
| Blaqlight | we use 8.04 hardy heron now. munichlinux | 08:28 |
| luks_ | RoshanK, i dont get the question.... Blaqlight i think mine doesnt either | 08:28 |
| RoshanK | wait is 8.10 beta out yet? | 08:29 |
| feaster83 | coffinzm: but what mouse does give the problem? | 08:29 |
| joejoecircusboy | coffinzm: if you disable mouse clicks from the touch screen, does the problem go away (ya, I know this makes the touch screen useless.. but just trying to get more info on the source of the problem) | 08:29 |
| diego10 | hello | 08:29 |
| munichlinux | Blaqlight, but still i cannot do that now i am in the urge of taking some data from that | 08:29 |
| munichlinux | Blaqlight, any other solution | 08:29 |
| Blaqlight | munichlinux, perhaps updating your system will fix your problem. | 08:29 |
| coffinzm | joejoe: to do so would i just change my xorg.conf to a "0" number of buttons option? | 08:29 |
| Edijus12 | Wirelless network connection was detected, but i cant use internet. what else do I need? http://img530.imageshack.us/img530/2581/screenshotnd1.png Encryption is disabled. | 08:30 |
| Blaqlight | munichlinux, all its tell you is that there is nothing in/on /dev/scd0 | 08:30 |
| joejoecircusboy | coffinzm: try System -> mouse -> touchpad (I presume the touchscreen is just being treated as one big touchpad) | 08:30 |
| Blaqlight | munichlinux, try df -h to see whats mounted ehre. | 08:30 |
| munichlinux | Blaqlight, ya i couldn't find the cdrom.o | 08:30 |
| ubuntu | .sexnet.org | 08:31 |
| coffinzm | unfortunately its not - im running my distro on a pretty dated machine and im having to use the fpit driver - it simply registers on the system as a mouse | 08:31 |
| Blaqlight | where* | 08:31 |
| xPhilosx | Something keeps automating my network settings in Ubuntu Hardy. It is ignoring my /etc/network/interfaces settings and just "making up" its own. Why would ubuntu ever do this, and aside from why, *what* is causing Ubuntu to do it in the first place? I cant find anything documented related to this nonsense--ive tried searching Google for over an hour. | 08:32 |
| kane77 | is there a environment variable for libraries? | 08:32 |
| RoshanK | luks_: this guy seems to have the same problem that you have. check out the thread http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=409123 | 08:32 |
| joejoecircusboy | coffinzm: ah... ya, I'm probably not the best guy to help you then | 08:32 |
| coffinzm | well i appreciate the effort - back to google and tweaking my xorg! | 08:32 |
| joejoecircusboy | coffinzm: np, good luck! | 08:32 |
| Blaqlight | munichlinux, make sure something is in the cdrom drive though or it won't show up | 08:33 |
| Edijus12 | Wirelless network connection was detected, but i cant use internet. what else do I need? http://img530.imageshack.us/img530/2581/screenshotnd1.png Encryption is disabled. | 08:33 |
| xPhilosx | joejoecircusboy, have you ever had a problem with Ubuntu having a stranglehold on your network settings? | 08:33 |
| kahn | what do you mean stranglehod ? | 08:34 |
| RoshanK | luks_: he seems to have the solution in this post http://ubuntuforums.org/showpost.php?p=2456530&postcount=8 | 08:34 |
| joejoecircusboy | xPhilosx: I think some of the files in /etc related to networking are generated from XML files (in gconf?) | 08:34 |
| milligan_ | I'm fiddling about with dovecot, and having a hard time making the quota warning scripts kick in. Anyone have any experience with that ? | 08:34 |
| joejoecircusboy | xPhilosx: To restore some temporary sanity, did you try chattr +i on your interface file? | 08:34 |
| ajay | hi | 08:34 |
| luks_ | RoshanK, great thank you Im looking at it... | 08:34 |
| RoshanK | hi ajay | 08:34 |
| ajay | i would like to know how to install a splash screen | 08:34 |
| RoshanK | luks_: lemme know if it works please | 08:35 |
| xPhilosx | joejoecircusboy, this is nuts, ifconfig gives me eth0 and eth2, i do sudo ifdown eth2 and it tells me eth2 isnt valid (and it shouldnt be, its not in my interfaces file) | 08:35 |
| kahn | get some water lol | 08:35 |
| Trinithis | Every other time I boot Ubuntu Hardy, my computer freezes on the load screen. Is there a way to fix this? | 08:35 |
| ajay | just to be sure its the welcome screen isnt it | 08:35 |
| xPhilosx | joejoecircusboy, i didnt try that yet, no | 08:35 |
| RoshanK | ajay try http://www.gnome-look.org/ | 08:35 |
| joejoecircusboy | xPhilosx: that wll make the file immutable (not a solution, but will prevent it from being overwritten at least) | 08:35 |
| xPhilosx | joejoecircusboy, its not being overwritten | 08:36 |
| xPhilosx | its being ignored | 08:36 |
| ajay | RoshanK: i download one from there i want to install it | 08:36 |
| joejoecircusboy | Ah | 08:36 |
| RoshanK | ohh | 08:36 |
| RoshanK | hmm | 08:36 |
| RoshanK | lemme see if i can google a solution | 08:36 |
| luks_ | RoshanK, i did that... i had ext3 in the first place of the usb and change root=(hd1,1) to 0,1 i think i did that too | 08:37 |
| Blaqlight | ajay, the instructions should come with the file. untar it and see the README. | 08:37 |
| dstaley | Is there a way to list the contents of a folder from the terminal? | 08:37 |
| ajay | Blaqlight: in my case the file i downloaded has only the picture | 08:37 |
| Blaqlight | dstaley, ls | 08:37 |
| joejoecircusboy | xPhilosx: See PM msg | 08:37 |
| ajay | i dont know where i have to put it | 08:37 |
| RoshanK | ajay: try installing gnome splsh screen manager 'sudo apt-get install gnome-splashscreen-manager' | 08:38 |
| ajay | RoshanK: thanks | 08:38 |
| RoshanK | ajay: also check out this thread http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=11478 | 08:38 |
| dstaley | Can I open .desktop files from the terminal? | 08:39 |
| RoshanK | luks_: so it still isn't working? | 08:39 |
| luks_ | RoshanK, i think the best solution for me is to burn a custom iso with remastersys and use my new pendrive for storyin data | 08:39 |
| Dexikiix | does anyone know why the .deb for the facebook protocol on pidgin would say it completed the install, but i see nothing in pidgin? | 08:39 |
| kahn | Hey guys, Ubuntu told me at some point to setup a firewall, its not really necessary for my home pc tho is it ?? | 08:39 |

| Dexikiix | kahn: you never know... | 08:39 |
| luks_ | RoshanK, nop... no problem man... i guess im doin somethin wrong... | 08:39 |
| RoshanK | luks_: if u didnt gt help here, try posting a qustion up on the ubuntu forums as well | 08:40 |
| joejoecircusboy | kahn: Not strictly necessary no, Ubuntu is pretty about not starting network listeners | 08:40 |
| luks_ | i will try that | 08:40 |
| Dexikiix | nobody knows? | 08:41 |
| Dexikiix | no pidgin users? | 08:41 |
| kahn | does anyone here run a firewall on a home box ?? | 08:41 |
| Dexikiix | or.. pidgin/facebook users? | 08:41 |

| Dexikiix | idk what else to do | 08:45 |
| kostkon | Dexikiix, so you go to accounts and you don't see an option for facebook? | 08:45 |
| Dexikiix | kostkon: exactly | 08:45 |
| Dexikiix | kostkon: i checked plugins menu to see if it needed to be enabled, nothing in there | 08:46 |
| kostkon | Dexikiix, ok | 08:46 |
| RoshanK | thezanke: did u choose the usb drive as the place to isntall to? | 08:47 |
| Dexikiix | kostkon: got an idea? | 08:47 |

| thezanke | what i want is for my laptop to act completely normal until i select the usb drive as the boot device and then it goes to grub | 08:48 |
| kostkon | Dexikiix, you mean this plugin?: http://code.google.com/p/pidgin-facebookchat/ | 08:48 |
| Vegombrei | is there a media centre software for ubuntu ? | 08:48 |
| Dexikiix | kostkon: yes | 08:48 |

| RoshanK | no problemo | 08:49 |
| bmarley13 | sorry to ask again, but could someone tell me how to set a default opacity for newly opened windows with gnome/compiz? | 08:50 |
| kostkon | Dexikiix, really strange that doesnt work. | 08:51 |
| Dexikiix | isnt it? | 08:51 |
| Dexikiix | did you try it and it works for you? | 08:51 |
| kostkon | Dexikiix, no. by I guess it's supposed to work. | 08:52 |
| Dexikiix | yeah | 08:52 |
| Dexikiix | i mean i ran the deb | 08:52 |
| kostkon | Dexikiix, you could try another way | 08:52 |
| Dexikiix | huh? | 08:52 |
| kostkon | Dexikiix, to isntall it | 08:52 |
| Dexikiix | oh | 08:52 |
| Dexikiix | i tried the deb and the tar | 08:52 |
| Dexikiix | not like i can try the .exe | 08:52 |
| RoshanK | well in wine you can use exe's | 08:53 |
| kostkon | Dexikiix, so you copied the .so in /usr/lib/purple-2/ or ~/.purple/plugins and it didn't work either? | 08:53 |
| Dexikiix | yeah | 08:53 |
| Dexikiix | it was already in there from the deb | 08:53 |
| Dexikiix | and all the icons were already in place | 08:53 |
| kostkon | Dexikiix, ok. so deb works ok, i see | 08:53 |
| kostkon | the deb* | 08:53 |
| Dexikiix | yeah the deb does its job up until me seeing end-results | 08:54 |
| kostkon | Dexikiix, hmm | 08:54 |
| Dexikiix | is there some sort of make command im supposed to do | 08:54 |
| dstaley | How would I start installing ubuntu from the command line? | 08:54 |
| Dexikiix | or make install somewhere | 08:54 |
| ikonia | dstaley: you don't install like that | 08:54 |
| kostkon | Dexikiix, in this case, no | 08:54 |
| Dexikiix | :p | 08:54 |
| Dexikiix | i thought not :p | 08:54 |
| ikonia | dstaley: there is an ncurses method or an X11 gui based method | 08:54 |
| Dexikiix | oh kostkon i even tried getting repositories for my sources and using apt-get | 08:54 |
| Dexikiix | but that said i have the latest version | 08:54 |
| dstaley | ikonia: Well, I'm SSH'ed into my laptop through Mac OS X and I need to install Ubuntu. How would I do that? | 08:55 |
| kostkon | Dexikiix, speaking about repos. someone offers it in their PPA: https://launchpad.net/~reda.ea/+archive | 08:55 |
| ikonia | dstaley: you can't do it that way | 08:55 |
| Dexikiix | yeah i think thats the one i did | 08:56 |
| kostkon | Dexikiix, you can add the repo and install it from there. but I don't know it will make any difference | 08:56 |
| kostkon | Dexikiix, ah ok | 08:56 |
| kahn | Well i installed firestarter, seems nice and simple. | 08:56 |
| dstaley | ikonia: I'm super sorry, and I'm not trying to be an ass or anything, but you can. | 08:56 |
| ikonia | dstaley: how then ? if you can do it why are you asking ? | 08:56 |
| kahn | you tell us then. | 08:56 |
| ikonia | dstaley: you cannot install ubuntu like that through ssh | 08:57 |
| kostkon | Dexikiix, you can try a complete removal and reinstallation of the package | 08:57 |
| dstaley | ikonia: You see, I was going to install from the command line because my Ubiquity install over X11 failed. | 08:57 |
| Dexikiix | kostkon: commands? | 08:57 |
| dstaley | ikonia: Well, at least I thought it did. Turns out it didn't. | 08:57 |
| kostkon | Dexikiix, just from synaptic | 08:57 |
| mrnotproper | hi i've a little problem here, I did my update gutsy to hardy and I tested the new driver nvidia-glx-new-envy and I downgrade to nvidia-glx-new but now X always start in safe mode and the nvidia are loaded( I checked with lsmod ) and in my xorg.conf everything is set for nvidia xorg don't want to start with the nvidia driver | 08:57 |
| Dexikiix | lol | 08:57 |
| dstaley | ikonia: I do apologize, I do see how that can be seen as rude. | 08:57 |
| Dexikiix | dexi@SUNUP:~$ oh | 08:57 |
| Dexikiix | bash: oh: command not found | 08:57 |
| Dexikiix | i meant to type that here | 08:57 |
| ikonia | dstaley: so you don't want to install "ubuntu" you want to install a package on an ubuntu system thats already running ? | 08:57 |
| Dexikiix | how do i do it in synaptic i dont see anything | 08:58 |
| Dexikiix | oh wait | 08:58 |
| Dexikiix | add/remove? | 08:58 |
| dstaley | ikonia: No, I did want to install Ubuntu. I just thought my method failed and I was going to try another way, but, it turns out that my first method did, in fact, work. | 08:58 |
| mycs | hi | 08:58 |
| nullmin1 | is there an easy way for me to download a package and all it's dependencies for another ubuntu installation? | 08:59 |
| RoshanK | nullmin1: try synaptic packet manager | 08:59 |
| kostkon | Dexikiix, 32bit ubuntu? | 08:59 |
| nullmin1 | RoshanK: I don't have access to the system I want to install on | 08:59 |
| kahn | you want to put them on a cd or something ? | 08:59 |
| Dexikiix | kostkon: yes | 08:59 |
| zvacet | nullmin1 : http://packages.ubuntu.com/ | 08:59 |
| nullmin1 | I have a 32-bit system somewhere else, and a 64-bit system im on | 08:59 |
| kostkon | Dexikiix, ok | 08:59 |
| nullmin1 | zvacet: thx, i went there but I noticed the package I want has a lot of dependencies | 08:59 |
| nullmin1 | zvacet: basically I need openssh-server on another system (32-bit) and I have to grab it from this system (64-bit) | 09:00 |
| ikonia | nullmin1: you can't mix like that | 09:00 |
| Agion | I'm having problems with hibernation, when I hibernate and then start the computer it boots normally... Any tips? | 09:00 |
| ikonia | nullmin1: you can grab the debs from the 32bit repo on the net though | 09:00 |
| nullmin1 | ikonia: i will be getting the i386 debs for that system | 09:00 |
| kostkon | Dexikiix, in syantpci, search for the pidgin-facebookchat package or something like that | 09:00 |
| ikonia | nullmin1: then your fine | 09:00 |
| nullmin1 | ikonia: i need to get the debs | 09:00 |
| ikonia | nullmin1: no problem then | 09:01 |
| Grobvok | nullmin1: apt-get has an argument "-d, --download-only" | 09:01 |
| nullmin1 | ikonia: and the packges.ubuntu.com interface only lets me grab one at a time | 09:01 |
| zvacet | nullmin1 : you can not install packages without all dependencies but you can check maybe you allready have some of them installed | 09:01 |
| ikonia | nullmin1: just browse the http interface | 09:01 |
| nullmin1 | so there is no way to download all the needed packages for a different architecture ? | 09:01 |
| nullmin1 | without manually selecting each one | 09:01 |
| nullmin1 | Grobvok: will that work since im on 64-bit and the packages needed are for i386? | 09:02 |
| ikonia | nullmin1: because your on the wrong arch you can't really use apt-get | 09:02 |
| Grobvok | nullmin1: Probably not. | 09:02 |
| nullmin1 | and no way to force architecture? | 09:02 |
| ikonia | nullmin1: no | 09:02 |
| Agion | I'm having problems with hibernation, when I hibernate and then start the computer it boots normally... Any tips? | 09:02 |
| Dexikiix | kostkon: i did a complete removal | 09:02 |
| Dexikiix | then run the deb again? | 09:02 |
| kahn | acpi setup in bios maybe ? | 09:02 |
| Grobvok | Agion: It's supposed to do that. | 09:03 |
| kostkon | Dexikiix, eh yes. close synaptic first | 09:03 |
| Dexikiix | er wait | 09:03 |
| Agion | ok | 09:03 |
| Dexikiix | wtf i have 2 versions? | 09:03 |
| dstaley | Is there a way I can tell GDM to automatically login to a user from the command line? | 09:03 |
| Dexikiix | that might be it | 09:03 |
| kostkon | Dexikiix, two? | 09:03 |
| kahn | Agion: my hibernation works.. | 09:03 |
| Dexikiix | oh | 09:03 |
| Dexikiix | no | 09:03 |
| ikonia | Dexikiix: please keep an eye on the language, you know wtf is not acceptable | 09:03 |
| Dexikiix | one is "mark for installation" | 09:03 |
| superkuh | Does 8.04 desktop's X server have XRandR extensions built in? If so, are they enabled? | 09:03 |
| Grobvok | Agion: use stand-by or sleep. | 09:03 |
| Agion | Grobvok: ok | 09:04 |
| Dexikiix | what the fluffy | 09:04 |
| Dexikiix | ikonia | 09:04 |
| Dexikiix | im not being bad | 09:04 |
| ikonia | Dexikiix: come on, everyone knows what it means, please just self moderate | 09:04 |
| Dexikiix | k | 09:04 |
| ikonia | thanks | 09:04 |
| kostkon | Dexikiix, the names of each package? oh, i see, one package from the deb one from the PPA you have added | 09:04 |
| Dexikiix | kostkon: does it make a different if i do "Open with GDebi" or through the terminal? | 09:04 |
| tparcina | is 4,3 GB HDD enouth to install Ubutnu 8.04? | 09:05 |
| ikonia | tparcina: yup | 09:05 |
| Dexikiix | difference* | 09:05 |
| kostkon | Dexikiix, w8. | 09:05 |
| Grobvok | tparcina: Yes. | 09:05 |
| nullmin1 | the solution to my problem is aptoncd | 09:05 |
| tparcina | ikonia: can i go thrue usual graphical instalation or should I do some "special way of instalation"? | 09:05 |
| kostkon | Dexikiix, what exactly do you mean that you have 2 packages? | 09:06 |
| nullmin1 | it does exactly what I asked | 09:06 |
| ikonia | tparcina: normal desktop install should be fine | 09:06 |
| ikonia | nullmin1: excellent idea | 09:06 |
| tparcina | ikonia: thank you weary much! | 09:06 |
| Dexikiix | when i completely removed the package (1.32) i did another search to make sure and it said i had one that was ready for install (1.29) | 09:06 |
| Dexikiix | kostkon: ^^ | 09:06 |
| nullmin1 | ikonia: thx for the help, ill post my results in here :D | 09:06 |
| Dexikiix | kostkon: at first i thought they were simultaneously installed | 09:07 |
| ikonia | nullmin1: we don't need to see the results, aptoncd is a good idea, well thought out | 09:07 |
| kostkon | Dexikiix, ok. I suppose the one is from the PPA | 09:07 |
| mst | does anybody know if there's a prepack way to persuade modern server ubuntus to install with a real init and without silly stuff like mtab.sh ? | 09:07 |
| Chris| | is this the correct address to contact ubuntu about trademarks? trademarks@ubuntu.com | 09:07 |
| ikonia | mst: real init ? | 09:08 |
| Dexikiix | kostkon: when running the .deb it says "an older version is available in the software channel" | 09:08 |
| mst | ikonia: not upstart | 09:08 |
| ikonia | mst: do you mean a sysvinit ? | 09:08 |
| mst | ikonia: right | 09:08 |
| Cloud | omgwtfbbq linux! | 09:08 |
| tparcina | what's diference between ubuntustudio-8 04 and ubuntustudio-8 04 1-alternate? | 09:08 |
| Dexikiix | it tells me i should get that but not how | 09:08 |
| ikonia | mst: sure, remove upstart and install sysvinit | 09:08 |
| kostkon | Dexikiix, yes. doesn't matter | 09:08 |
| mst | ikonia: basically, I want 6.06 but with the modern packages | 09:08 |
| Dexikiix | kostkon: ok | 09:08 |
| kostkon | Dexikiix, continue | 09:08 |
| ikonia | Cloud: what ? | 09:08 |
| mst | ikonia: will that get rid of the mtab.sh crap that means half my filesystems aren't in fstab? | 09:08 |
| ikonia | mst: sysvinit i in the repos, | 09:08 |
| kahn | bar bee Q | 09:08 |
| Cloud | hi :P | 09:08 |
| Grobvok | barbie-q | 09:09 |
| kahn | lol | 09:09 |
| zvacet | tparcina : probably just updates and fixes | 09:09 |
| Dexikiix | kostkon: still not there after doing the deb again | 09:09 |
| ikonia | mst: I don't think mtab.sh is anything to do with uptstart, it's just an init script | 09:09 |
| Zicks | anyone know how to setup dual monitors? | 09:09 |
| superkuh | When I try, xrandr -q, I get, "Xlib: extension "RANDR" missing on display ":0.0"". I know it's a horribly vague question, but is this 'normal' for 8.04? | 09:10 |
| mst | ikonia: right. a random non-standard one that replaces part of /etc/fstab | 09:10 |
| ikonia | mst: nothing replaces /etc/fstab | 09:10 |
| mst | ikonia: I liked 6.06. it was like linux, but with hardware support and up to date packages | 09:10 |
| kostkon | Dexikiix, hmm. | 09:10 |
| superkuh | Zicks: What graphics card(s) do you have? | 09:10 |
| ikonia | mst: what do you think replaces fstab ? | 09:10 |
| mst | ikonia: mtab.sh mounts things. I end up with mounted filesystems as standard that aren't in fstab | 09:10 |
| ikonia | mst: such as ? | 09:10 |
| nullmin1 | nonetdebs also allows me to install debs offline | 09:10 |
| ikonia | mst: which file systems ? | 09:10 |
| Dexikiix | im gonna mark the other one for install and see what that does | 09:10 |

| Dexikiix | kostkon: still nothing... :( | 09:12 |
| joejoecircusboy | xPhilosx: yo | 09:12 |
| ikonia | mst: mtab won't mount any physical file systems, just things like /dev/pts | 09:12 |
| kahn | near f12, FUROM | 09:12 |
| ikonia | mst: mtab.sh I mean | 09:12 |
| FuRom | Thanks, kahn | 09:12 |
| zvacet | tparcina : np and you know that alternate means that you don´t have eye candy installer | 09:12 |
| mst | ikonia: right. I want to be able to see those in fstab | 09:12 |
| mst | ikonia: fstab is supposed to be the filesystem table | 09:12 |
| FuRom | kahn, nvm, that doesn't work when you have a menu open. | 09:12 |
| ikonia | mst: they are not file systems | 09:12 |
| kahn | <FuRom> true | 09:13 |
| ikonia | mst: if you want to set it up in another way, remove mtab.sh from init and put them in /etc/fstab | 09:13 |

| walt | i have a problem with my sansa e200 mp3 player. it is only recognized by kubuntu 8.04 if i remove the ehci_hcd module, resulting in an awfully slow file transfer rate | 09:16 |
| mst | ikonia: right. but what bugs me is if init got redone | 09:16 |
| mst | ikonia: what other things got redone with bleeding edge stuff | 09:16 |
| mst | ikonia: and is there a list somewhere so I can have a conservative system using a modern ubuntu | 09:16 |
| Dexikiix | kostkon: thanks for trying but i am going to bed now | 09:16 |
| ikonia | mst: it didn't get re-done, it was quite well publicised that upstart was going in ubuntu from 6.10 onwards I think | 09:16 |
| ikonia | maybe 7.04 | 09:16 |
| ikonia | mst: same thing with things like libata | 09:17 |
| mst | ikonia: redone as in replaced. | 09:17 |
| mst | ikonia: yes, I know it was widely publicised | 09:17 |
| mst | ikonia: I kind of expected it to spend a few years in the desktop version first though | 09:17 |
| ikonia | mst: so you don't need to worry about "what else got done" changes like that are well publicised | 09:17 |
| ikonia | mst: the desktop code base is the same as the server, why would it stay in the desktop version for a few years ? upstart is a proven technology before ubuntu picked it up | 09:18 |
| mst | ikonia: because I'm a paranoid conservative bastard :) | 09:18 |
| kostkon | Dexikiix, ok. gnight | 09:19 |
| ikonia | mst: I still set systems up with the older setup a lot of the time as I too lean towards it, but I'm not concerned with things like upstart - if I use them I'm confident they are solid | 09:19 |
| kahn | gi | 09:24 |
| kahn | hi | 09:25 |
| mst | ikonia: right. but I'm wondering how to pick out the "we've changed something old unixheads assume is standard" bits from changes as opposed to the noise | 09:25 |
| DozedOnLinux | hi | 09:25 |
| ikonia | mst: check the release notes | 09:25 |
| mst | ikonia: I mean, is there anything other than sysvinit you regularly change for something else on a basic install? | 09:25 |
| ikonia | mst: depends from what point, if you are looking at say 10 years ago, loads has changed udev/hal/dbus/libata/upstart/etc etc, if you look at 7.10 -> 8.04 - not much, check the release notes of the vesion you want to install | 09:26 |
| DozedOnLinux | 8.04 seems to work better for me, i have less that i have to fix. the install went great. everything pretty much worked, just a few little quarks to deal with | 09:28 |
| mst | ikonia: ok, I'll have a poke through. cheers. | 09:29 |
| DozedOnLinux | ikonia: i was going to ask you a question earlier, but, now i seem to have forgotten what it was, being that you had been busy with someone. i know it will come back to me eventually. | 09:30 |
| ikonia | DozedOnLinux: ok | 09:30 |
| t1n0m3n | Hi | 09:31 |
| joejoecircusboy | tin-omen? | 09:32 |
| Scorp_ | joejoecircusboy: hey, how do i install firefox 3.0 ??? it says there are unmet dependencies... | 09:32 |
| Scorp_ | joejoecircusboy: i removed firefox but can install it again... :( | 09:33 |
| joejoecircusboy | Scorp_: What verions of ubutnt | 09:33 |
| Scorp_ | joejoecircusboy: 8.04 | 09:33 |
| t1n0m3n | I am running Ubuntu 8.04 64 bit, I am having an issue with wireless. I connect to my 802.11a network at home. Then I disconnect. And then connect to my 802.11b network. The only way I can connect to my 802.11a network is to reboot (as far as I know so far.) | 09:33 |
| t1n0m3n | using networkmanager | 09:34 |
| joejoecircusboy | Scorp_: apt-get install firefox | 09:34 |
| joejoecircusboy | ? | 09:34 |
| t1n0m3n | could this be a network manager bug? | 09:34 |
| Scorp_ | joejoecircusboy: http://paste.ubuntu.com/35452/ | 09:35 |
| DozedOnLinux | t1n0m3n: a is slow, is there any reason why you have to use 802.11a instead of atleast 802.11b ? | 09:35 |
| t1n0m3n | DozedOnLinux: huh? 802.11b is 11Mb, 802.11a is 54Mb | 09:35 |
| t1n0m3n | DozedOnLinux: and by far less congested | 09:36 |
| DozedOnLinux | t1n0m3n: you can manually change the modulation type with iwconfig. check in terminal > man iwconfig | 09:36 |
| DozedOnLinux | t1n0m3n: This command force the card to only use the specific set of modulations listed on the command line. This | 09:37 |
| DozedOnLinux | can be used to fix interoperability issues. | 09:37 |
| t1n0m3n | DozedOnLinux: When I change the channel to the proper channel (44) it does not help | 09:37 |
| Scorp_ | joejoecircusboy: http://paste.ubuntu.com/35452/ | 09:37 |
| ActionParsnip | surely standards and protocols resolve interoperability issues | 09:38 |
| t1n0m3n | DozedOnLinux: I set the AP to the proper bssid and it does not help | 09:38 |
| * ActionParsnip can smell broadcom | 09:38 | |
| t1n0m3n | I restart all networking and it does not help | 09:38 |
| ActionParsnip | t1n0m3n: you could try manually editting /etc/network/interfaces | 09:39 |
| ActionParsnip | t1n0m3n: and set all parameters there | 09:39 |
| joejoecircusboy | Scorp_: No idea, sorry | 09:39 |
| DozedOnLinux | ActionParsnip: reading from the documentation on iwconfig. i havent had to use 802.11a, but i recalled seeing the issue there | 09:39 |
| Scorp_ | joejoecircusboy: which firefox do u have and how did u install it ?? | 09:39 |
| havocstorm | sup guys | 09:39 |
| ActionParsnip | sup havocstorm | 09:39 |
| havocstorm | Does anyone here have an iphone? | 09:39 |
| ActionParsnip | DozedOnLinux: ive never used .11a its fairly pointless | 09:39 |
| ikonia | havocstorm: why don't you ask your question | 09:40 |
| ActionParsnip | havocstorm: no, but whats your issue | 09:40 |
| t1n0m3n | it is only switching between the two that I have issues. If I use either one exclusively per boot session, I am fine | 09:40 |
| havocstorm | Does ubuntu have support of syncing with ipones? | 09:40 |
| joejoecircusboy | Scorp_: the same firefox package you're trying to install... (it came installed by default) | 09:40 |
| ActionParsnip | !gpod | havocstorm | 09:40 |
| t1n0m3n | What is the command to restart network manger? | 09:41 |
| joejoecircusboy | Scorp_: If you have any 3rd party repos, try disabling them and try again | 09:41 |
| ActionParsnip | t1n0m3n: sudo /etc/ini.d/network restart | 09:41 |
| DozedOnLinux | restart network > sudo /etc/init.d/networking restart | 09:41 |
| ubottu | Sorry, I don't know anything about gpod | 09:41 |
| * ActionParsnip has a symlink in /usr/bin | 09:41 | |

| gnumm | does anyone know if pulseaudio will be better in ubuntu 8.10? | 09:42 |
| t1n0m3n | ActionParsnip: I have done that, it is Network Manager that I think is confused... not the networking | 09:42 |
| seiya | Is there a BitTorrent client that can run completely in the command line and has a nice web interface? | 09:42 |

| havocstorm | ACtionParsnip, thanks for all the links | 09:42 |
| ActionParsnip | bah | 09:42 |
| ActionParsnip | seiya: I use ktorrent which has a web interface as well as an app for the local xserver (which it needs) | 09:43 |
| DozedOnLinux | t1n0m3n: you can make scripts to run for each location, maybe i can find the docs on that situation | 09:43 |
| ActionParsnip | seiya: id hit up torrentflux or azureus | 09:43 |
| ActionParsnip | t1n0m3n: you could have 2 configs and switch between / restart networking via a script | 09:44 |
| t1n0m3n | DozedOnLinux: That is what I am thinking, I am trying to find a cli way to get the network to work again... I can script that | 09:44 |
| seiya | ActionParsnip: TorrentFlux is too complicated and the interface is clunky at best. Can Azureus run in the command line (without X)? | 09:44 |
| ActionParsnip | seiya: i believe so | 09:45 |
| boaz | I get this error message when I try to log in: http://pastebin.com/d20022540 Is there some way to fix this? | 09:45 |
| C0p3rn1c | are there any important programs that are not supported by the 64 bit edition of ubuntu? | 09:45 |
| ActionParsnip | seiya: i run ktorrent which is swet for me but it needs X | 09:45 |
| C0p3rn1c | like netbeans | 09:45 |
| joejoecircusboy | C0p3rn1c: NetBeans should be fine | 09:45 |

| Pollero | ActionParsnip: not just for that. Also flash not working when fullscreen. And couple of other verry annoying problems | 10:00 |
| Pollero | i have never seen problems like this in any distro. But this is my first 64bit so | 10:00 |
| ActionParsnip | Pollero: flash fullscreen + compiz doesnt mix | 10:00 |
| Pollero | i guess its not ready yet | 10:00 |
| Pollero | ActionParsnip: hmm...ok. Any fixes for that? | 10:01 |
| ActionParsnip | Pollero: turn off compiz if you want fullscreen | 10:01 |
| Pollero | lol, or not :D | 10:01 |
| ActionParsnip | Pollero: compiz is absolute junk and causes more issues than i care to name | 10:01 |
| Pollero | it's not option. I want that everything works smoothly like my servers do | 10:01 |

| bony | i am trying to install open ldap server on to a system in a college. I read the entire help page that is there in help.ubuntu.com regarding ldap. the problem is that i installed the packages that are required to start ldap server and also configured the client in order to connect to the server and get the username but when i try to do so i get and error say "can not connect to the server" were as when i nmap the server with its ip i could see the port is open | 10:03 |
| bony | can some one help me out? | 10:03 |
| t1n0m3n | hmm, OK, had to reboot. I am on 802.11a now, but as soon as I switch to 802.11b I can no longer switch back to 802.11a until a reboot. /etc/init.d/network restart does nothing.

| bony | ikonia, yeah | 10:04 |
| ikonia | bony: so the problem is either credentials/schema or authentication | 10:04 |
| ikonia | DozedOnLinux: open office is self contained | 10:04 |
| Pollero | DozedOnLinux: can you even remove that in ubuntu. whole desktop is some meta package and if you remove openoffice its gonna remove lots of other stuff too | 10:04 |

| ActionParsnip | sorry for caps, fat hands + tiny keyboad +hung over | 10:04 |

| t1n0m3n | ActionParsnip: Because it is faster and less congested | 10:05 |
| ActionParsnip | t1n0m3n: is it to share broadband only? | 10:05 |

| ikonia | deviant: then you add yours where you want | 10:08 |
| ActionParsnip | deviant: /usr/share/something | 10:08 |
| deviant | yup, they're there, thx | 10:09 |
| ikonia | bony: ok - so configure that | 10:09 |
| deviant | busy switching to openbox for some bizarre reason | 10:09 |
| t1n0m3n | So I guess no one knows, thanks anyway, I guess I have to jump over to debian and pretend to be a non ubuntu user to get help | 10:10 |
| ActionParsnip | deviant: cos its slick and neat | 10:10 |
| ActionParsnip | t1n0m3n: we dont know, sorry | 10:11 |
| ikonia | t1n0m3n: thats not advisable | 10:11 |
| t1n0m3n | ikonia: lol, ive done it before when this channel failed me | 10:12 |
| DozedOnLinux | if seemed to have found the cure for my wifi connect dropping with kernel option pci=routeirq , tried noapic and irqpoll with no good effectiveness. although it worked , it dropped overall system performance quite substantially. old MB, old everything. Linksys Wireless G v4.1 | 10:13 |
| bony | ikonia, but i am unable to do that can you help me out? | 10:13 |
| ikonia | bony: change the hostnames to ip | 10:13 |
| sufehmi_ | hi, has anyone encountered situations where you have SMP processor - but non-SMP kernel was installed instead ? | 10:13 |
| sufehmi_ | I have 2 SMP servers | 10:14 |
| sufehmi_ | one got SMP kernel | 10:14 |
| sufehmi_ | another don't | 10:14 |
| sufehmi_ | I tried looking for SMP kernel in the package list, but there is none | 10:14 |
| sufehmi_ | apt-cache search smp | 10:14 |
| sufehmi_ | any hints? | 10:14 |
| sufehmi_ | btw both have hardy installed | 10:15 |
| UB` | sufehmi_ did you check the repository listed in /etc/apt/sources.list? | 10:16 |
| sufehmi_ | hi UB | 10:16 |
| sufehmi_ | let's see | 10:16 |
| mrtimdog | sufehmi_: The standard generic kernel is SMP capable. What tells you that one is not running an SMP kernel? | 10:16 |
| UB` | sufehmi_ uname -a | 10:16 |
| UB` | I think you just have an SMP kernel | 10:17 |
| sufehmi_ | yes that's what confuses me too | 10:17 |
| sufehmi_ | here's uname-a | 10:17 |
| sufehmi_ | Linux server01.abangadek.com 2.6.24-17-386 #1 Thu May 1 13:57:56 UTC 2008 i686 GNU/Linux | 10:17 |
| kane77 | is it OK if I just replace the CPU? will I have to reinstall ubuntu? | 10:17 |
| sufehmi_ | and top doesn't show its 4 cores as well | 10:17 |
| bony | well but how to change this option "DNS domain name: ... debuntu.local" | 10:17 |
| mrtimdog | sufehmi_: You've not got the generic kernel, you've got the -386 one installed. | 10:17 |
| sufehmi_ | here's uname -a from the other server | 10:18 |
| sufehmi_ | Linux server1 2.6.24-16-generic #1 SMP Thu Apr 10 13:23:42 UTC 2008 i686 GNU/Linux | 10:18 |
| sufehmi_ | oooo | 10:18 |
| sufehmi_ | missed that | 10:18 |
| sufehmi_ | that's why then? | 10:18 |
| bony | ikonia, well but how to change this option "DNS domain name: ... debuntu.local" | 10:18 |
| UB` | sufehmi_ aptitude install linux-image-generic | 10:18 |
| mrtimdog | sufehmi_: Yup, should be simple to fix assuming a little server downtime is available :) | 10:18 |
| sufehmi_ | it is :) | 10:18 |
| UB` | and reboot | 10:18 |
| sufehmi_ | but the downtime window will be gone in 3 hours, so gotta try this now | 10:19 |
| sufehmi_ | ok guys I'll give this a try now | 10:19 |
| sufehmi_ | hang on | 10:19 |

| pale-yafa | Hi, I cant use my Num pad, | 10:20 |
| bony | ikonia, check the first section of this web page it says that before installing and configuring ldap the system show have FQDN and other requirements "https://help.ubuntu.com/8.04/serverguide/C/openldap-server.html" | 10:20 |
| ActionParsnip | pale-yafa: is numlock on? | 10:21 |
| pale-yafa | On boot it ON but it acts as pointer | 10:21 |
| pale-yafa | ActionParsnip: of course | 10:21 |
| pale-yafa | off | 10:21 |
| ikonia | bony: thats the name of your ldap domain, in the example it will be your hostnames FQD | 10:21 |
| camytza18 | Enter text here... | 10:21 |
| ActionParsnip | pale-yafa: is it a generic keyboard or is it some dodgytech goodness? | 10:22 |
| Sidde | What does TLS stand for, LTS are for Long Term... ? | 10:22 |
| pale-yafa | generic | 10:22 |
| Sidde | Which releases har TLS? | 10:22 |
| ActionParsnip | pale-yafa: good | 10:22 |
| pale-yafa | ActionParsnip: it was ok before | 10:22 |
| Serval | Can someone help me install a new gdm theme plese | 10:22 |
| ikonia | Sidde: TLS is a security encyption | 10:22 |
| ActionParsnip | pale-yafa: maybe theres some small config for it | 10:22 |
| peter__ | i think dapper and hardy are LTS- long term support | 10:23 |
| ikonia | peter__: correct | 10:23 |
| pale-yafa | ActionParsnip: been looking for solution for long but all people just wanted to have it turned on at boot | 10:23 |
| pale-yafa | for me its not working at all | 10:23 |
| ActionParsnip | pale-yafa: what make / model is it? | 10:23 |
| Sidde | ikonia: that i know, so there is no release with the name TLS? cause i have seen TLS mention on sites | 10:23 |
| pale-yafa | ActionParsnip: nothing at all, been playing around for days | 10:23 |
| ikonia | Sidde: I doubt you have seen TLS mentioned in terms of a release | 10:23 |
| ikonia | Sidde: unless it's a typo | 10:24 |
| bony | ikonia, so regardless of what name i am giving as the domain name to ldap i can configure it right? | 10:24 |
| sufehmi_ | ok fingers crossed, i'm gonna restart the server now :) | 10:24 |
| pale-yafa | action: just a made in china:D | 10:24 |
| stamina | exit | 10:24 |
| ikonia | bony: you can configure the ldap domain as bon.my.big.domain.for.fun | 10:24 |
| ActionParsnip | pale-yafa: hahaha genius | 10:24 |

| pbn | Hello, I am trying to install Ubuntu 8.04 LTS on a machine. At the very last step (6 of 6) where it asks you to confirm you want to format, *poof* it goes back ton step 2 of 6 where you choose your timezone... any idea ? Isn't there a log of messages on a ctrl-alt-fx ? | 10:35 |
| pumawd | ikonia: hmm i guess my nick changed as well, okay im the guy who had x issus (still no gui), i tried changing the device section name to vesa, but my screen is still a garbled mess when i reboot and now im back into console | 10:35 |
| ikonia | pumawd: I just wasn't following the conversation | 10:36 |
| jimqode | pumawd, did you try dpkg-reconfigure xserver-xorg? | 10:36 |
| chazco | Hi... how can I improve Ubuntus boot time? On the same hardware it takes Ubuntu 71 seconds (48 to GDM, 23 to desktop) when Windows XP takes just 47 (27 to login prompt, 20 to usable desktop)... ideas? | 10:36 |
| xnv | chazco: Here's one: Ask Google | 10:36 |
| ikonia | pumawd: you've changed the driver line to say "vesa" | 10:36 |
| pumawd | ikonia: yes | 10:36 |
| pumawd | jimqode: no, should i try that? | 10:37 |
| xnv | chazco: Tons of people have already looked into this | 10:37 |
| p4_xxx | auto lo, iface lo inet loopback , auto eth0, iface eth0 inet static, address 172.16.0.51, netmask 255.255.0.0, network 172.16.0.1 , broadcast 172.16.255.255, gateway 172.16.0.1 | 10:37 |
| chazco | Googled it quite a bit, no reliable advice it seems... lots of ideas, little success | 10:37 |
| jimqode | pumawd, yes. try that please. | 10:37 |
| ikonia | pumawd: and there is no other driver line in there, nothing that says fglx or anthing like that | 10:37 |
| ikonia | p4_xxx: you've been asked to use the pastebin | 10:37 |
| xnv | chazco: Then that's probably your answer. | 10:37 |
| jimqode | !pastebin | p4_xxx | 10:37 |

| ActionParsnip | p4_xxx: https://answers.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+question/2248 | 10:37 |
| ActionParsnip | p4_xxx: youll need gksu gedit to edit the file | 10:38 |
| chazco | So its either stick with XP or try another distro? | 10:38 |
| pumawd | ikonia: correct thats it | 10:38 |
| ActionParsnip | p4_xxx: not sudo gedit like it says | 10:38 |
| p4_xxx | sorry i dint knew | 10:38 |
| pumawd | jimqode: ok will do it now | 10:38 |
| ActionParsnip | p4_xxx: simple websearching...i didnt know either | 10:38 |
| jimqode | chazco, the next version will improve boot times. with hardy there's nothing you can do except disable the services you don't need. | 10:39 |
| pjvandehaar | pumawd:try out xubuntu? | 10:39 |
| chazco | Hmm... could be a problem then... going to be a while before the next release... may try Arch again, but it takes a lot of data to update | 10:39 |
| Jaef | Hi, I just booted from a Live CD for the first time due to some delightful dll malfunctions in Vista causing explorer not to start, I'm trying to get into my hard drives to restore some files but it doesn't want to mount them since the log file indicates an improper shutdown. Any tips? | 10:39 |
| ActionParsnip | chazco: turn on pc then make a drink / visit the toilet or brush teeth if the 47 seconds is too long to bear | 10:39 |
| jimqode | Jaef, boot into windows first. then shutdown gracefully. | 10:40 |
| chazco | ActionParsnip - Its when running from battery that it starts to be an issue... at a desk its not so bad | 10:40 |
| pjvandehaar | or get asus splashtop! | 10:40 |
| Jaef | You think a hard button shutdown from the login screen would work? I can't even log in to Vista | 10:41 |
| Jaef | And there's no shutdown option from the login screen IIRC | 10:41 |
| ActionParsnip | chazco: get solid state hard drive | 10:41 |
| chazco | Will just try another distro first, thanks for the help anyway | 10:41 |
| ActionParsnip | Jaef: hold it down for 5 seconds, it WILL shutdown ;) | 10:41 |
| jimqode | Jaef, pressing the shutdown button once, for a short time should do a clean shutdown | 10:42 |
| Jaef | Alright, then the drives should mount in Ubuntu here? | 10:42 |
| jimqode | ActionParsnip, he needs to do a clean shutdown to mount the drive | 10:42 |
| jimqode | Jaef, yes they should | 10:42 |
| Jaef | Great, thanks | 10:42 |
| Chris| | anyone know a fix to this error message? http://i35.tinypic.com/2v3g3fo.jpg | 10:42 |
| Jaef | Ubuntu is pretty classy... | 10:42 |
| Jaef | If I didn't play games I would probably run this all the time | 10:43 |
| sobersabre | hi. is there a 1.5.x subversion client for ubuntu ? | 10:43 |
| jimqode | Chris|, probably your installation cd is broken | 10:43 |
| ActionParsnip | jimqode: looks like you have the cd as a repository | 10:43 |
| ActionParsnip | jimqode: is that an eeepc? | 10:43 |
| jimqode | ActionParsnip, it looks like a livecd install to me. | 10:43 |
| ikonia | sobersabre: I think so yes | 10:43 |
| ikonia | sobersabre: it's not bleeding edge but not far | 10:43 |
| Chris| | jimqode, you sure, it installs just fine.. it gives me that error then continues, and finishes | 10:43 |
| ActionParsnip | jimqode: did you md5 check the cd? | 10:44 |
| jimqode | Chris|, it probably failed to install some packages. you system may spit out errors even if it works. | 10:44 |
| rconan | My keyboard layout in X seems to be broken. All the keys make non-ASCII characters. The GUI still shows the correct layout. Any thoughts? | 10:44 |
| jimqode | ActionParsnip, it is not me having a problem, i'm trying to help | 10:44 |
| ActionParsnip | jimqode: my bad | 10:44 |
| p4_xxx | is there a manual i can follow closely to solve problems in ubuntu?, i used suse for one year, a didnt like it to dificult for me, then i choose ubuntu i like it but now whith problems i look on hte web but i cant solve simple problems | 10:44 |
| Chris| | jimqode, thanks, the thing is its a livecd I made, I'm looking for a way to fix it so it doesn't send that error anymore | 10:45 |
| Chris| | p4_xxx, go to the ubuntuforums and register there, they will help with your problems | 10:45 |
| ActionParsnip | p4_xxx: there are man pages for your apps and websearches for most things | 10:45 |
| jimqode | Chris|, what do you mean made? Did you remaster it or just burned an image? | 10:45 |
| kingfishr | Chris|, burn a new one...? | 10:45 |
| Chris| | jimqode, remaster | 10:46 |
| ActionParsnip | Chris| did you md4 check the image you downloaded? | 10:46 |
| ActionParsnip | or md5 | 10:46 |
| Chris| | jimqode, if you notice that is not the official release | 10:46 |
| Chris| | ActionParsnip, no i haven't but i should, thanks for reminding me | 10:46 |
| jimqode | Chris|, hmm interesting. I remastered a livecd once and didn't get this error. | 10:47 |
| jimqode | Chris|, it still might be a burning issue | 10:47 |
| Chris| | jimqode, what process did you use? also its from virtualization so no burning issues | 10:47 |
| ActionParsnip | Chris|: doesnt look good, ive never seen that message | 10:47 |
| pvh_sa|wrk | heya... i've got 20GB of files i need to send to someone on DVD... | 10:47 |
| pvh_sa|wrk | does anyone know an easy way to split these over multiple DVDs? | 10:48 |
| jimqode | Chris|, I mounted the compressed image, chrooted into it, install/uninstall then pack again | 10:48 |
| jimqode | pvh_sa|wrk, man split | 10:48 |
| ActionParsnip | pvh_sa|wrk: id personally do it manually but tar can span multiple media with specified sizes | 10:48 |
| Chris| | jimqode, ah i used debootstrap so it was fresh, I might ask the author of the guide i followed | 10:48 |
| Ardha_ | hello | 10:49 |
| Chris| | i probably missed a step | 10:49 |
| pvh_sa|wrk | ActionParsnip, yeah, maybe i should tar / split it - the people on the other end have problem reading > 4GB files, so i can make it into smaller chunks | 10:49 |
| jimqode | Chris|, yeah that seems like your best chance. | 10:49 |
| Ardha_ | hello..anybody there.. | 10:49 |
| ActionParsnip | Ardha_: theres been 3 messages since you arrived | 10:50 |
| ActionParsnip | Ardha_: so yes there is | 10:50 |
| rconan | Ardha_, no we are all figments of your imagination | 10:50 |
| Chris| | well so far i've installed it multiple times and get the same error but get no software errors so i dunno | 10:50 |
| ActionParsnip | chris| if you upgrade from repos it might fix the burp | 10:50 |
| Chris| | ActionParsnip, ok | 10:51 |
| claudiu_ | hello | 10:51 |
| claudiu_ | hello ubuntu users | 10:51 |
| snadge | is anyone else having problems with using amsn from hardy? .. mine no longer connects anymore on two machines | 10:51 |
| snadge | and if i update amsn from svn.. it then works.. so im presuming there should be some kind of update released | 10:52 |
| Chris| | snadge, nope amsn works fine, but i've had a friend who has had the same problem as you | 10:52 |
| snadge | as updating from svn is annoying.. i'd rather just click the update button ;) | 10:52 |
| microwaver | Hello fellas iv' got an issue with Shared Folders | 10:52 |
| snadge | hmm.. maybe i should check the bugzilla | 10:53 |
| jimqode | !ask | microwaver | 10:53 |
| ubottu | microwaver: Please don't ask to ask a question, ask the question (all on ONE line, so others can read and follow it easily). If anyone knows the answer they will most likely answer. :-) | 10:53 |
| zetheroo | why are the pidgin sound not working except in the Preferences dialog? | 10:53 |
| ActionParsnip | snadge: amsn seems broken. we've had loads of people asking n here. id use another app til it gets resolved | 10:53 |
| microwaver | when I want to create a share to /home/microwaver/Movies but it always just shares my " / " folder | 10:54 |
| ActionParsnip | !samba | microwaver | 10:54 |
| ubottu | microwaver: Samba is the way to cooperate with Windows environments. Links with more info: https://wiki.ubuntu.com/MountWindowsSharesPermanently and http://help.ubuntu.com/ubuntu/serverguide/C/windows-networking.html - Samba can be administered via the web with SWAT. | 10:54 |
| snadge | ActionParsnip: updating from svn solves the problem .. i already use another application (pidgin) but i have multiple msn accounts ;) | 10:54 |
| jimqode | microwaver, please tell us the steps you have taken to share that directory | 10:54 |
| ActionParsnip | snadge: sounds like the way forward, i only use pidgin | 10:54 |
| zetheroo | Since yesterday my Pidgin does not make any sounds in chat boxes ... but in the Prefs dialog the sounds test fine.... | 10:55 |
| snadge | amsn is actually a better msn client than pidgin.. imho | 10:55 |
| snadge | but obviously pidgin supports other protocols | 10:55 |
| ActionParsnip | zetheroo: in the individual chat windoow options menu have you got Enable Sounds ticked? | 10:56 |
| ActionParsnip | snadge: it does text and smileys, what more do you want | 10:56 |
| ActionParsnip | :D | 10:56 |
| snadge | web camera maybe.. audio chat | 10:56 |
| rconan | snadge, amsn can be a little buggy i find | 10:56 |
| kirilos | I need some help installing themes with emerald.Anyone willing to help me out ? | 10:56 |
| microwaver | jimqode, I went to System > Shared Folders > Added a new folder > | 10:56 |
| ActionParsnip | snadge: then amsn is for you, i only ise text | 10:57 |
| rconan | snadge, i always liked it but recent versions are a little dodgy personally (since they added webcam, audiochat etc) | 10:57 |
| Scorp_ | snadge: try kopete | 10:57 |
| microwaver | jimqode, I then browse to the right folder, give it a name. but when I ad it, instead of using the path I said it had to. it just shows (and uses / ) | 10:57 |
| Scorp_ | kirilos: what kind of help ?? | 10:57 |
| snadge | kopete hey.. well, i have a precompiled .deb file from svn on my machine at work.. i'll just download that at dpkg -i it .. i just hoped maybe that ubuntu would release an updated amsn package ;) | 10:58 |
| snadge | i mean.. they update every other package i dont even care about ;) | 10:58 |
| kirilos | Scorp_, i think i installed a theme in emerald(I can see it under emerald theme manager)but i cant find a way to enable it!Although it's on the list nothing happens | 10:58 |
| ActionParsnip | snadge: its not down to ubunti to do that, its amsn's responsibility | 10:58 |
| rconan | snadge, what is your problem with amsn? | 10:59 |
| snadge | actually it is ubuntu's responsibility.. they packaged amsn and released it with hardy.. its now broken, an update should be released.. end of story | 10:59 |
| jimqode | microwaver, you can browse to the folder you want to share, right click on it, then select share folder. | 10:59 |
| Scorp_ | have u enabled emerald ?? type a command "emerald --replace" | 10:59 |
| Scorp_ | kirilos: you can put this command in the sessions startup | 10:59 |
| snadge | they release bug fixes for other programs in hardy.. so why not amsn | 10:59 |
| kirilos | ok Scorp_ doin it right now.I think i missed that part | 10:59 |
| rconan | snadge, isn't amsn from universe? | 10:59 |
| ActionParsnip | snadge: but its not, Ubuntu dont code amsn so they can pressure amsn to rewrite it or threaten to remove it but ubuntu dont code it so its not their deal | 11:00 |
| snadge | its not as if its a minor glitch.. it wont even connect, whats the point of even having the package there if it wont even work | 11:00 |
| jimqode | microwaver, follow this guide: http://www.simplehelp.net/2007/05/19/how-to-share-files-and-folders-in-ubuntu/ | 11:00 |
| ActionParsnip | snadge: dont get arsey in rooms it makes you look like a troll | 11:00 |
| kirilos | Scorp_, i added that command,now?What next? | 11:00 |
| snadge | so remove amsn from ubuntu then? .. it worked for xmms | 11:00 |
| jimqode | snadge, you can whine all you want in #ubuntu-offtopic | 11:00 |
| Scorp_ | use the run application to run emerald --replace for the current session.. after that it should replace metacity and your theme should work | 11:01 |
| ActionParsnip | snadge: its still not ubuntu or canonical's responsibility to fix the broken application end of story | 11:01 |
| Scorp_ | kirilos: use the run application to run emerald --replace for the current session.. after that it should replace metacity and your theme should work | 11:01 |
| snadge | ActionParsnip: now whos being the troll? | 11:01 |
| snadge | ubuntu fixes every other broken application.. why make an exception for amsn? | 11:01 |
| ActionParsnip | snadge: im slinging back so you understand why it sucks | 11:01 |
| kirilos | Scorp_, sorry but i cant follow you.I'm kinda new to ubuntu :P could u please make this more clear for me ? :D | 11:02 |
| Scorp_ | press alt+f2 | 11:02 |
| Scorp_ | do u get a run application thing ??? | 11:02 |
| snadge | if it wasnt ubuntu's business to fix applications.. there would be no need for the patches to the upstream source | 11:02 |
| ActionParsnip | snadge: they released the updated package which was given to them by the creators | 11:02 |
| kirilos | yeah | 11:02 |
| jimqode | snadge, people fix application in universe | 11:02 |
| jimqode | snadge, not canonical. | 11:02 |
| snadge | ahh sorry.. my bad.. universe = don't care.. i forgot about that | 11:02 |
| Scorp_ | ActionParsnip: Dude, i guess you need a remap of your settings... Is it actually a big problem if we kinda just go a step forward to help ?? I don't think so | 11:03 |
| ActionParsnip | snadge: see my point now | 11:03 |
| Saladin | Anyone wanna help me with my Ubuntu 6.06 Server, and setting up the GUI? I tried it yesterday, but suffered major failage. | 11:03 |
| rconan | snadge, what version of amsn are you on? there's a version in -proposed which might fix your problem | 11:03 |
| snadge | well move amsn to main from universe.. so that it becomes canonical's problem :P | 11:03 |
| ActionParsnip | Scorp_: im in here almost daily helping :D | 11:03 |
| crazy_bus | there are a few programs the have experimental support for google talk voicechat. But the one I tried didn't work. Can anyone recommended a program that will work if it? (if there is one at all?) | 11:03 |
| ActionParsnip | snadge: so I was right? | 11:03 |
| kirilos | oh ok Scorp_ it seems that my theme is enabled,thanks you so much for your assistance | 11:03 |
| Scorp_ | ActionParsnip: Yeah, i know.. Am sorry... actually i just read the universe thing... I take that back !! Sorry !! | 11:04 |
| snadge | ActionParsnip: yes you were right .. now you're being assy :p | 11:04 |
| ActionParsnip | snadge: i know..sorry | 11:04 |
| ActionParsnip | Scorp_: its cool man, no worrie | 11:04 |
| ActionParsnip | s | 11:04 |
| Scorp_ | ActionParsnip: :D | 11:04 |
| snadge | so i should complain to #debian then? since thats where ubuntu stea^H^H^H^Hborrows all its code? :p | 11:04 |
| Scorp_ | does anyone here use a Linksys Wireless router ??? | 11:04 |
| ActionParsnip | snadge: moan to amsn dude | 11:04 |
| ActionParsnip | Scorp_: indeed i do | 11:05 |
| rconan | snadge, on a much more productive note. have you tried the version in hardy-proposed (0.97+final-0ubuntu5.1) | 11:05 |
| Saladin | aMSN is awful, in my experience. | 11:05 |
| Scorp_ | ActionParsnip: awesome... Are you able to access 192.168.1.1 ??? | 11:05 |
| snadge | rconan: no i havnt.. i have only compiled amsn from svn (made a .deb package) and installed that | 11:05 |
| snadge | and can confirm that works | 11:05 |
| zetheroo | ActionParsnip: ha .. see I missed your message becasue I heard no sound ... um yes it is ticked | 11:05 |
| Saladin | Anyone wanna help me with my Ubuntu 6.06 Server, and setting up the GUI? I tried it yesterday, but suffered major failage. | 11:05 |
| rconan | snadge, oh... well wth are you complaining about then if it works? | 11:05 |
| ActionParsnip | Scorp_: mines a weird number but i can access my router | 11:05 |
| snadge | rconan: because i had to compile it from svn.. instead of receive an update ;) | 11:06 |
| jimqode | snadge, you can find the package maintainer of amsn package and moan to him, bu don't moan too much he's not paid for packaging it you know | 11:06 |
| ActionParsnip | Scorp_: wassup? | 11:06 |
| Scorp_ | ActionParsnip: i got a WAG200G and i cant access the router page... It happens on in ubuntu.. Can access on mobile, windows, openSUSE... but not on my ubuntu installed or even the LIVECD... What could be the reason ??? | 11:06 |
| snadge | so really my complaint is that things in universe.. dont receive updates.. and that kind of blows | 11:06 |
| rconan | well i think the fix is in the hardy-proposed version as it works for me so had you waited for it to stabilize you would have been fine | 11:06 |
| snadge | sorry.. unless the unpaid volunteer feels like releasing an update | 11:06 |
| ActionParsnip | Scorp_: have you turned on any filtering for mac addresses accessing your router config | 11:07 |
| Scorp_ | snadge: Join #amsn.. Maybe they could help... | 11:07 |
| snadge | ahh.. and that update is in testing.. i see, i didnt even know about hardy-proposed | 11:07 |
| rconan | and there was a disclaimer when you installed the universe repository i think saying it was not supported by canonical | 11:07 |
| snadge | at least im learning things ;) | 11:07 |
| ActionParsnip | learning is good | 11:07 |
| Scorp_ | ActionParsnip: Nopes... I even reset it to basics... and tried with a wire too... actually am using it rite now and it works perfectly... but only the access page not workign.. After i enter the username and pass, it just shows a blank page | 11:07 |
| rconan | hardy-proposed contains things which are in testing for hardy-updates | 11:07 |
| snadge | so how do i get access to proposed updates? | 11:07 |
| pulse00 | hi all. does anyone knows where ubuntu writes all the apache configuration stuff when installing something like phpmyadmin or websvn ? normally if you do it by hand you would have to add a virtual host to make it accessible through example.com/phpMyAdmin. but i can't find any entries there | 11:08 |
| pulse00 | i mean when installinng it through apt-get | 11:08 |
| ActionParsnip | Scorp_: try a different browser | 11:08 |
| Scorp_ | ActionParsnip: tried even opera... no gud.. any other browser u can suggest ??? | 11:08 |
| penjal | 한글 | 11:08 |
| xnv | pulse00: If you've installed it, you can go into Synaptic and check the properties of the package. It will tell you all the files it installed. | 11:08 |

| ubottu | pulse00: LAMP is an acronym for Linux-Apache-MySQL-PHP.

| Scorp_ | ActionParsnip: it says connected to 192.168.1.1 | 11:09 |
| pulse00 | rambo3, ActionParsnip, thanks | 11:09 |
| snadge | ahh System -> Administration -> Software Sources -> Updates .. got it :) | 11:09 |
| Scorp_ | ActionParsnip: what do i do after that ??? | 11:09 |
| ActionParsnip | it should ask you to log in | 11:09 |
| ActionParsnip | xnv: how do you like those apples | 11:10 |

| Scorp_ | rconan: anything ?? | 11:12 |
| rconan | Scorp_, it looks right to me | 11:12 |
| rconan | did you say you can ping 192.168.1.1 ? | 11:12 |
| snadge | im excited! i found a new update source.. thes recommended and proposed updates are gold! | 11:12 |
| ActionParsnip | Saladin: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Installation/LowMemorySystems | 11:12 |
| Scorp_ | rconan: the setup is all right.. everythin is connecting.. ping n all works... its just the page that doesnt load.. its a .cgi script based thing.. could that be a reason ??? | 11:12 |
| snadge | 186 megs worth of stuff | 11:13 |
| ActionParsnip | snadge: yikes | 11:13 |

| ubottu | s__: Hi! Welcome to #ubuntu! | 11:13 |
| Scorp_ | rconan: its a ADSL cum wireless router... Linksys.. !! Its working correctly... What else could be the reason ???? | 11:14 |

| cemunal | hi | 11:15 |
| snadge | thats pretty cool.. does debian have proposed updates too or is this just an ubuntu thing | 11:15 |
| rconan | Scorp_, i'm a bit lost. there are some routers which don't like firefox but i've never seen one not load at all because of that | 11:15 |
| rconan | snadge, debian has testing and unstable versions instead | 11:15 |
| jimqode | snadge, but you may end up with half-working testing version of all sofware if you constantly update from proposed | 11:15 |
| rconan | i find -proposed ok normally | 11:15 |
| rconan | but i'm not gonna be afraid to fix something if i do find a dodgy one | 11:16 |
| Scorp_ | rconan: Its not really anti firefox, cuz it works on firefox on windows an OpenSUSE... i guess something is kinda blocking the setup.cgi page from loading.. Is there any firewall or someting by default in ubuntu ??? | 11:16 |
| rconan | not by default | 11:16 |
| snadge | yeah i read through the descriptions for the proposed updates first | 11:16 |
| Scorp_ | Is anyone here using a Linksys ADSL come wireless router by any chance ???? | 11:16 |
| ActionParsnip | Scorp_: no default firewall | 11:16 |
| ActionParsnip | Scorp_: let me websearch | 11:16 |

| iso9660-073 | kindofabuzz.. Yes thats right, if i search Google a couple of links show people.ubuntu.com, but i do not understand why connections suddenly is made to this address now and not before | 11:42 |
| DozedOnLinux | isnt that KDE NetMan ? | 11:43 |
| Moojk | bazhang: how do I check? | 11:43 |
| kindofabuzz | iso9660-073: probably updates | 11:43 |

| Astronomiconal | Hi guys! | 11:44 |

| Astronomiconal | I just got my Guitar Hero controller working in Linux Mint. Is there a way to set which button presses what key on the keyboard? | 11:45 |

| kenkku | Astronomiconal: what's the problem? | 11:47 |
| Astronomiconal | You have about what.. | 11:47 |
| Astronomiconal | nevermind. | 11:48 |
| eltew | Astronominconal: lol, well i suppose being open source we dont have the money to advertise on television like MS and Apple. | 11:48 |
| ikonia | Astronomiconal: FYI: linux mint has it's own support resources, the guys there will help you | 11:48 |
| Astronomiconal | kenkku, I just got my Guitar Hero controller working on UBUNTU GUTSY *COUGH* *COUGH* | 11:48 |
| ikonia | Astronomiconal: please use the mint support resources. | 11:48 |
| bazhang | Moojk, is this ap (on your router) open? | 11:48 |
| Astronomiconal | And I was wondering if there was a program that will allow me to map the key settings. | 11:48 |
| kindofabuzz | Astronomiconal: calm down, you're gettin all pissy because no one answered your question as soon as you said it? | 11:48 |
| kenkku | Astronomiconal: you don't call apple's support hotline if you have a problem with windows, do you? | 11:48 |
| DozedOnLinux | bazhang: found something for the wifi laptop users. i dont know how i forgot about this. on most Fn + F5 turns wifi radio on/off . not all laptops are the same button combo, but, the wifi icon should be on the correct key. Dell/Gateway seems to like Fn + F2 (unconfirmed). | 11:48 |
| Astronomiconal | kindofabuzz, no, I'm getting pissed off because no one will answer my question. | 11:48 |
| Astronomiconal | BECAUSE | 11:48 |
| Astronomiconal | apparently, it's a linux mint problem. | 11:48 |
| kindofabuzz | isn't that what i just said? | 11:48 |
| Moojk | bazhang: it works with a windows box | 11:49 |
| ikonia | Astronomiconal: it is a mint problem. Why can you not use the correct support resource | 11:49 |
| Astronomiconal | It's NOT a Mint problem. | 11:49 |
| kenkku | Astronomiconal: the same thing, we can't help you with Mint, because they have differences. they have their own support channel | 11:49 |
| Astronomiconal | Are you aware that Mint is 99% ubuntu? | 11:49 |
| Astronomiconal | What differences? | 11:49 |
| bazhang | DozedOnLinux, nice; may want to add to the wiki | 11:49 |
| TiredWolf | Astronomiconal: are you aware that Ubuntu is 99% Debian? | 11:49 |
| mgolisch | is this somekind of gamepad/joystick thing? | 11:49 |
| Astronomiconal | I'm looking for a program. | 11:49 |
| ikonia | Astronomiconal: I'm well aware of what mint is, so why can't you use their support resource | 11:49 |
| mgolisch | why would it map to keyboard keys? | 11:49 |
| Astronomiconal | Just a program. | 11:49 |
| iso9660-073 | kindofabuzz.. Okay i will try to disable my paranoia funktion =) | 11:49 |
| ikonia | Astronomiconal: I'll ask you to please calm down and use the correct support resources for the correct distros | 11:49 |
| Astronomiconal | God. | 11:49 |
| kindofabuzz | Astronomiconal: you'd be bettwer off in a playstation channel or whatever with that question. i doubt there are many folks that hook up a guitar queero controller in here | 11:49 |
| Astronomiconal | Why can't you just give me a program? | 11:49 |

| TiredWolf | Astronomiconal: ok look what was the question? | 11:50 |
| Astronomiconal | kindofabuzz, think of it as a joypad. | 11:50 |
| DozedOnLinux | bazhang: i had been doing it for my friends, i just over-looked it. i could try wiki, but i am not member, if that matters. i am member of Freenode though | 11:50 |
| Astronomiconal | tkonia, this IS it. | 11:50 |
| ikonia | Astronomiconal: your using mint | 11:50 |
| bazhang | Astronomiconal, check packages.ubuntu.com or apt-cache search related word | 11:50 |
| ikonia | Astronomiconal: this is not it | 11:50 |

| bazhang | Moojk, is the ap open on your router | 11:51 |
| Astronomiconal | That's what I'm wondering about. | 11:51 |
| Astronomiconal | The Ubuntu repositories. How is that not dealing with Ubuntu? | 11:51 |
| Astronomiconal | Let me ask this a different way, then. | 11:51 |
| TiredWolf | Astronomiconal: i asked you WHAT IS YOUR QUESTION. do you want to answer, or will you keep arguing? | 11:51 |
| Moojk | bazhang: what ap? | 11:51 |
| Astronomiconal | TiredWolf, sorry, I was busy with other people. | 11:51 |
| Moojk | bazhang: its broadcasting yes | 11:51 |
| mgolisch | Astronomiconal: as what device does it show up in /dev? | 11:51 |
| Astronomiconal | And, if you scrolled up you'll see I repeated myself twice already. | 11:51 |

| mgolisch | jsX? | 11:51 |
| kenkku | hmm | 11:51 |
| Astronomiconal | But, the question is | 11:51 |
| Moojk | bazhang: and I can connect to my router via windows | 11:51 |
| Astronomiconal | mgolisch /dev/input/js0 | 11:51 |
| bazhang | Moojk, the access point on your router is it encrypted | 11:51 |
| Astronomiconal | Is there any program that can allow me to map my buttons on my Guitar Hero controller to my keyboard keys? | 11:52 |
| mgolisch | Astronomiconal: so its a joystick not a keyboard, configure your app to use this input device then | 11:52 |
| jimqode | chaos, np! have fun! | 11:52 |
| Moojk | bazhang: yes | 11:52 |
| TiredWolf | Astronomiconal: not after i joined. | 11:52 |
| Astronomiconal | TiredWolf, sorry. | 11:52 |
| Astronomiconal | mgolisch, it won't work that way. | 11:52 |
| Astronomiconal | It needs to be pressing a keyboard keys. | 11:52 |
| mgolisch | Astronomiconal: why? | 11:52 |
| bazhang | Moojk, do you know the command line at all | 11:52 |
| TiredWolf | Astronomiconal: that controller is USB, right? | 11:52 |
| Astronomiconal | FYI, it's Frets on Fire w/ my Guitar Hero controller. | 11:52 |

| m0u5e | wolfeySI: i dont remember installing anything weird, etc | 12:08 |
| m0u5e | wolfeySI: but i notice whenever I shut down (with this problem) i have two of everything running | 12:08 |
| Moojk | bazhang: and | 12:08 |
| Moojk | ? | 12:08 |
| m0u5e | wolfeySI: like it says GDM shutting down GDM shutting down | 12:08 |
| Saladin | mou5e: Try installing clamAV and so a scan, perhaps? | 12:08 |
| Saladin | *do | 12:08 |
| m0u5e | and when I experience this problem, when I try to kill X (ctrl+backspace), It won't be able to restart X | 12:09 |
| m0u5e | normally killing X works, but when this whole deterioration crap starts, nothing but a restart will bring it back | 12:09 |
| m0u5e | i've also noticed that it seems like it might be related to flash... (when i dont use flash, this problem seems to never occur) | 12:09 |
| Saladin | How do I add a user then add that user to sudoers via terminal? | 12:10 |
| bazhang | sudo dhclient -r <interface> Moojk | 12:10 |
| wolfeySI | can anyone recommend some free software with articles and forum? | 12:10 |
| wolfeySI | like vbulletin | 12:10 |
| bazhang | sudo ifconfig <interface> up Moojk (putting wlan0 in place of interface without the brackets) | 12:10 |
| Moojk | bazhang: can this card run against two difference networks? | 12:11 |
| Saladin | wolfeySI: So, like a forum and wiki in one? | 12:11 |
| wolfeySI | not wiki | 12:11 |
| bazhang | Moojk, pay attention please | 12:11 |
| Moojk | bazhang: done | 12:11 |
| wolfeySI | Saladin: something like howtoforge | 12:11 |
| Apophis | hello everybody | 12:11 |
| bazhang | sudo iwconfig <interface> essid "ESSID_IN_QUOTES" Moojk | 12:11 |
| Moojk | bazhang: I'm way ahead of you ;) | 12:11 |
| wolfeySI | it has to be fully localizable | 12:11 |
| wolfeySI | i want it translated | 12:11 |
| Saladin | wolfeySI: I looked at that, and it seems to be a custom site, I reckon | 12:11 |
| wolfeySI | Saladin: nope | 12:12 |
| wolfeySI | Saladin: it is vbulletin, themed. | 12:12 |
| bazhang | sudo iwconfig <interface> key HEX_KEY Moojk | 12:12 |
| Apophis | I would like to know if aMSN has some problems nowadays ! | 12:12 |
| wolfeySI | Apophis: yes | 12:12 |
| bazhang | sudo iwconfig <interface> mode Managed Moojk | 12:12 |
| wolfeySI | Apophis: #amsn says to upgrade to new version, but ubuntu is being lazy | 12:12 |
| m0u5e | so... anyone experience the same problem I do? | 12:12 |
| bazhang | sudo dhclient <interface> Moojk | 12:12 |
| wolfeySI | Apophis: so i installed their binary installer | 12:12 |
| m0u5e | wolfeySI: btw, what would deleting .gnome do? what sort of settings do I lose? | 12:13 |
| wolfeySI | m0u5e: all from theme to wallpper | 12:13 |
| nullmin1 | i heard of an argument I can pass in the live CD to make it all go to RAM, anyone got a clue? | 12:13 |
| wolfeySI | m0u5e: you can just try to move (rename) it | 12:13 |
| Apophis | wolfeySI, did you install the binary installer of aMSN ? | 12:13 |
| wolfeySI | Apophis: yes | 12:13 |
| wolfeySI | amsn-project.org | 12:13 |
| wolfeySI | and it works | 12:13 |
| Moojk | bazhang: unknown mode managed | 12:13 |
| Saladin | wolfeySI: Their forum is vBulletin. Which seems to be inside an i-frame on their site | 12:13 |
| m0u5e | wolfeySI: i thought themes were stored under .theme? | 12:13 |
| wolfeySI | had to apt-get install tk first | 12:13 |
| Apophis | wolfeySI, thank you very much ;) | 12:13 |
| wolfeySI | Saladin: hmm | 12:14 |
| bazhang | Moojk, try the last command then | 12:14 |
| wolfeySI | Saladin: well phpBB would be ok as forum | 12:14 |
| Apophis | see you later guys ;) | 12:14 |
| wolfeySI | Saladin: but i need something for articles | 12:14 |
| wolfeySI | do i write it myself? | 12:14 |
| Moojk | bazhang: just says no DHDCPOFFERS received.. | 12:14 |
| legycsapo | Hi all ! | 12:14 |
| legycsapo | How can I edit my interfaces file? | 12:15 |
| bazhang | Moojk, what chipset | 12:15 |
| m0u5e | which is currently better, swfdec or gnash? (also where would I go to purge flash settings besides .macromedia) | 12:15 |
| microwaver | Any good way to edit the different menu's in Xubuntu? | 12:15 |
| Saladin | wolfeySI: Definitely phpBB for your forum - it rules. And you could try something like wordpress for articles. | 12:15 |
| bazhang | m0u5e, the first imo | 12:15 |
| wolfeySI | Saladin: but i dont want blog | 12:15 |
| Moojk | bazhang: New relevant interface wlan0.IPv4 for mDNS Registering new address record for 169.254.7.155 on wlan0.IPv4 Sucessfully claimed IP addess 169.254 ... ( this is a bogus ip ) | 12:15 |
| Moojk | bazhang: how do I check? | 12:15 |
| wolfeySI | Saladin: i want something to write FAQ's | 12:15 |
| m0u5e | bazhang: why would you say that? :) | 12:15 |
| wolfeySI | so each user can submit tutorials | 12:16 |
| m0u5e | bazhang: just out of curiosity | 12:16 |
| bazhang | Moojk, lspci in terminal paste to paste.ubuntu.com (NOT here) | 12:16 |
| wolfeySI | Saladin: i could go code php myself, but i'm looking if there's something tested | 12:16 |
| Saladin | wolfeySI: You want a wiki system then. | 12:16 |
| legycsapo | How can I edit my interfaces file? | 12:16 |
| wolfeySI | Saladin: i want it more linear than wiki | 12:16 |
| Moojk | bazhang: heh cant connect to paste.ubuntu.com | 12:16 |
| wolfeySI | Saladin: like tutorials on howtoforge | 12:16 |
| bazhang | Moojk, what? you are on internet now. | 12:16 |
| Moojk | yeah but not on the computer I type commands | 12:17 |
| Moojk | intel pro wireless 4965 AG | 12:17 |
| Saladin | wolfeySI: My suggestion would be to write it yourself then. I honestly don't know any systems out there like that. And I write all my own stuff on websites. Apart from forums (Sod that), for which I use phpBB | 12:17 |
| Moojk | I got the wireless to work at home, but not here | 12:18 |
| legycsapo | How can I edit my interfaces file? PLZ !! :( | 12:18 |
| bazhang | Moojk, you are troubleshooting a different computer? | 12:18 |
| Moojk | bazhang: yes | 12:18 |
| chaos | hello | 12:19 |

| Pirate_Hunter | you just gotta luv gnome-commander :) | 12:19 |
| Pirate_Hunter | Freshy: what does pvr stand for? | 12:20 |
| Freshy | personal video recorder | 12:20 |
| newbie26 | is this possible to scedhule a diskcheck on ubuntu on next startup? | 12:20 |
| bazhang | Moojk, set ap to open and lets try again; wep is actually not worth much, truth be told | 12:20 |
| Freshy | http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Comparison_of_PVR_software_packages | 12:20 |
| Moojk | bazhang: then I get disconnected from this box | 12:20 |
| bazhang | Freshy, mythbuntu | 12:20 |
| DJones | Freshy: Sounds like you want something like Myth TV | 12:21 |
| DJones | !mythbuntu | 12:21 |
| ubottu | Mythbuntu is an Ubuntu derivative centered upon setting up a standalone MythTV system. See: http://www.mythbuntu.org for more information | 12:21 |
| bazhang | Moojk, yes for a short while | 12:21 |
| Moojk | bazhang: how do I enable network manager to automatically search for connections? | 12:21 |
| Freshy | cool... from that wiki page I was thinking myth or sage | 12:21 |
| Moojk | bazhang: no I fear I have to configure this connection and not get back online hehe | 12:21 |
| bazhang | !wifi | Moojk good luck | 12:21 |
| ubottu | Moojk good luck: Wireless documentation can be found at https://help.ubuntu.com/community/WifiDocs | 12:21 |
| Pirate_Hunter | Freshy: cant advise you there | 12:21 |
| bazhang | #ubuntu-mythtv Freshy | 12:22 |
| Freshy | thanks! and sudo with gnome-commander is great! | 12:22 |
| chao1 | say | 12:22 |
| Freshy | there is a channel! wicked! | 12:22 |
| Moojk | I dont get why it cannot be enabled in the GUI | 12:22 |

| bazhang | it can Moojk | 12:22 |
| legycsapo | what can i write to my interfaces file, to change the mac for eth0???? | 12:22 |
| bazhang | legycsapo, why do you need to change the mac | 12:23 |
| legycsapo | because of the provider | 12:23 |
| bazhang | legycsapo, please explain | 12:24 |
| Moojk | bazhang: there isnt a single button to make it auto search again, it used to do it when it was freshly installed | 12:24 |
| legycsapo | long story... :) | 12:24 |
| bazhang | legycsapo, short answer then | 12:24 |

| Moojk | seems like the card can only be configured to one network.... I tried all the settings in the docs | 12:26 |
| bazhang | Moojk, try roaming mode | 12:26 |
| Moojk | did it doesnt roam, its manual all the time | 12:26 |

| Moojk | nothing works | 12:30 |
| Abed | hey guys i have a compressed file from windows with rar extension so how can i extract it under ubuntu? | 12:30 |
| DJones | !rar | Abed | 12:31 |
| ubottu | Abed: rar is a non-free archive format created by Rarsoft. For instructions on accessing .rar files through the Archive Manager view https://help.ubuntu.com/community/FileCompression. There is a free (as in speech) unrar utility as well, see !info unrar-free | 12:31 |
| bazhang | Moojk, best to set ap to open to troubleshoot. | 12:31 |
| Killeroid | can anyone recommend the fastest/best compression algorithm for compressing a 150gb folder? | 12:31 |
| rs | hi | 12:31 |
| Moojk | how do I get it to look like this: http://www.gnome.org/projects/NetworkManager/images/wireless-at-tealuxe.png ? | 12:31 |
| bazhang | Moojk, by doing what I suggest | 12:31 |
| bazhang | Moojk, alternatively, boot into livecd and see if that picks it up | 12:32 |
| Moojk | there are several other networks here, why wouldnt it find it? | 12:32 |
| Moojk | any of them | 12:32 |
| bazhang | Moojk, not relevant why it is not working; the issue is to get it working. | 12:33 |
| bazhang | ie what may have happened to make it stop working Moojk ; which why I suggest either booting from livecd or opening ap | 12:33 |
| bazhang | !compression | 12:34 |
| ubottu | Files with extensions .tar, .gz, .tgz, .zip, .bz2, .7z, .ace and other archive file formats can be opened with file-roller (GNOME) or Ark (KDE) - Also see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/FileCompression | 12:34 |
| bazhang | Killeroid, may want to check that ^^ | 12:35 |
| pvh_sa|wrk | heya... i'm looking for some software to catalog my books / dvds - any recommendations? and is there any sw out there which can read barcodes from my webcam? (or maybe a jpg) | 12:36 |
| jimqode | Killeroid, fastest compression is no compression at all, best compression depends on the file type you are compressing and it won't be fast | 12:36 |
| jimqode | Killeroid, tar.bz2 is very good all around | 12:36 |
| Killeroid | jimqode: compresing basically my /home directory so lots of text fies, images, mp3s and video files | 12:37 |
| HttpError | Where are the mysql development file on hardy? i cant find them. | 12:38 |
| jimqode | Killeroid, mp3 and compressed image and video file formats (like jpg) won't compress much with any format. try bz2 if you only plan to use linux to uncompress it. rar if you want to stay crossplatform. | 12:38 |
| DozedOnLinux | jimqode: beat me to it :P | 12:39 |
| Killeroid | jimqode: i will be using linux to uncompress so i guess bzip | 12:39 |
| jimqode | Killeroid, yep try bzip. | 12:39 |
| HttpError | ... | 12:40 |
| Pirate_Hunter | jimqode, DozedOnLinux: am i the only one worrying that he/she said they are compressing the /home folder as the actual directory "probability they wont do it but..." | 12:40 |
| HttpError | i thought tgz was good :( | 12:40 |
| jimqode | HttpError, tgz is also good but bz2 usually gives higher compression ratios | 12:40 |
| DozedOnLinux | Pirate_Hunter: well it will look pretty in there as one file :) prob more for cleanup than anything | 12:40 |
| jimqode | Pirate_Hunter, I think he's backing it up | 12:41 |
| Killeroid | jimqode, Pirate_Hunter : i am backing the data up because my hd looks like it s going to fail and my backup hd has 150gb of free space | 12:42 |
| Pirate_Hunter | jimqode, DozedOnLinux: yeah makes better sense than actually compressing the /home and trying to still gain access from it, i shouldve read previous posts | 12:42 |
| HttpError | does anyone know Where the mysql development files are on hardys repos? | 12:43 |
| jimqode | HttpError, what is a mysql development file? You mean the headers? | 12:43 |
| Chousuke | jimqode: um, .tar.bz2 is more cross-platform than rar | 12:43 |
| HttpError | jimqode: yup | 12:43 |
| jimqode | Chousuke, how do you get it to with on windows? | 12:43 |
| Chousuke | jimqode: with any decent decompressor | 12:44 |
| HttpError | WinRAR. | 12:44 |
| jimqode | HttpError, try dpkg -l mysql-dev (i'm not sure about the package filename) | 12:44 |
| Chousuke | jimqode: the point is that RAR is non-free | 12:44 |
| HttpError | dpkg? | 12:44 |
| HttpError | -.- | 12:44 |
| jimqode | Chousuke, I know it's not | 12:44 |
| Chousuke | jimqode: what? | 12:44 |
| HttpError | No packages found matching mysql-dev. | 12:44 |
| jimqode | HttpError, it will give you the list of installed file with their paths | 12:44 |
| Chousuke | jimqode: RAR is nonfree. | 12:44 |
| jimqode | Chousuke, I know it's not free | 12:45 |
| rzec | hey, it there a good cd tool for formatting a hardrive? | 12:45 |
| erUSUL | !rar | 12:45 |
| ubottu | rar is a non-free archive format created by Rarsoft. For instructions on accessing .rar files through the Archive Manager view https://help.ubuntu.com/community/FileCompression. There is a free (as in speech) unrar utility as well, see !info unrar-free | 12:45 |
| HttpError | i dont have Mysqldev | 12:45 |
| jimqode | rzec, any live linux cd will do. | 12:45 |
| Moojk | the docs doesnt even have the correct commands | 12:45 |
| Chousuke | jimqode: besides, tar.bz2 / gz is better supported by more platforms than RAR is :) | 12:45 |
| Moojk | "Invalid argument" | 12:45 |
| HttpError | i cant find the -dev pkg | 12:45 |
| Pici | !info libmysqlclient15-dev | HttpError | 12:45 |

| sjovan | HttpError: dpkg is one of the packagesystems that debian uses. like apt and synaptic uses dpkg. search with apt ---> apt-cache search mysql | 12:46 |
| jimqode | Chousuke, I don't know much about windows but win people are generally at a loss when i send them a tar.bz2 file | 12:46 |
| HttpError | Pici: tried that. | 12:46 |
| Chousuke | jimqode: you just tell them to use winrar to decompress it :P | 12:46 |
| HttpError | sjovan: done that, no luck. | 12:46 |
| bullbutch_ | is there any ways of speeding up the bootprocess of ubuntu? i am going to use my ubuntu computer as a htpc and i don't need all stuff that's loading. But what, and how can i remove it? | 12:46 |
| jimqode | HttpError, did you try 'dpkg -L libmysqlclient15-dev' ? | 12:46 |
| Scorp_ | how can i remove the loopback driver from ifconfig ??? | 12:47 |
| Pici | Scorp_: Why would you want to do that? | 12:47 |
| Chousuke | jimqode: though using a .tbz extension is probably easier for them, since they won't have to decompress it "twice" that way; and it's still just as portable :) | 12:47 |
| sjovan | HttpError: have you done a ---> sudo apt-get update && sudo apt-get upgrade first? maby you got something wrong with your repo | 12:47 |
| HttpError | jimqode: ah. | 12:47 |
| Scorp_ | Pici: its interefering with my router i guess... would want to do that !!! | 12:47 |
| HttpError | whats the copy command again? | 12:47 |
| Scorp_ | HttpError: cp | 12:47 |
| HttpError | Thx | 12:48 |
| Pici | Scorp_: No. You don't want to do that. lo is needed for normal operation. | 12:48 |
| Scorp_ | Pici: normal operation ?? what for ?? | 12:48 |
| Abed | i ran sudo mysql test but it tells access denied ,,, why??? | 12:48 |
| sjovan | HttpError: if you got something wrong with your repo, then you should get some errors with update. maby you haven't checked the repos you need? by default none of the repos are checked... | 12:48 |
| jimqode | Scorp_, if you remove the loopback device many client/server applications will fail miserably | 12:48 |
| sjovan | HttpError: man cp | 12:48 |
| jimqode | sjovan, he does not have a package system problem. he just want to know the paths to installed files by a package. | 12:49 |
| Scorp_ | jimqode: Ohh... okay !! | 12:49 |
| Pici | Scorp_: It may sound silly, but it uses that to talk to itself. | 12:49 |
| sjovan | aaaa :P | 12:49 |
| Pici | *in some cases. | 12:49 |
| Scorp_ | anyone using a linksys wag200g wireless router ????? | 12:49 |
| Scorp_ | Pici: not silly... I got you !! | 12:49 |
| jimqode | Scorp_, I had one. But it broke last year | 12:49 |
| Moojk | if I want to use the same wlan card on two networks, should there be two configurations showing up when I type "iwconfig" ? | 12:50 |
| jimqode | Moojk, You can't use a wlan card on two networks like a lan card | 12:50 |
| Moojk | what? | 12:50 |
| sjovan | HttpError: my bad :P dpkg -l | grep mysql should show you every mysql pack you got installed | 12:50 |
| Moojk | On windows I can use it on unlimited wireless connections | 12:50 |
| Scorp_ | jimqode: Could you normally access the router config page ?? I cannot... | 12:51 |
| jimqode | Moojk, wlan cards can only pair with one network at a time. I don't know about windows. | 12:51 |
| Abed | i ran sudo mysql test but it tells access denied ,,, why??? | 12:51 |
| Moojk | yeah of course, I didnt mean at the same time.... | 12:51 |
| Moojk | two configurations | 12:51 |
| jimqode | Scorp_, some buttons didn't work because of js problems but yes. | 12:51 |
| Scorp_ | jimqode: My page isnt loading only.. What do i do ??? | 12:51 |
| jimqode | Moojk, then you will only see the active configuration on iwconfig output | 12:52 |
| Grobvok | FX quits when I access meebo.com. | 12:52 |
| jimqode | Scorp_, A firefox plugin maybe interfering with it (adblock maybe) | 12:52 |
| jimqode | Abed, because you don't have a mysql user called test with an emprt password? | 12:53 |
| Scorp_ | jimqode: Nopes... nothin like that... The page doesnt load after http://192.168.1.1/setup.cgi?next_file=Setup.htm... it keeps showing a blank screen after entering username and password | 12:53 |
| Moojk | why does the docs say system -> administraion -> networking ... there is "Networking" in the menu | 12:53 |
| jimqode | Scorp_, did you try viewing the source for the stuck page. maybe a js is failing | 12:53 |
| Grobvok | Firefox quits when I try to go to meebo.com. Anyone else have this problem? | 12:53 |
| Saladin | How do I create the home folder for a user I just added? When I log in, it says "Home directory is listed as /home/user but it doesn't exist" and won't let me log in | 12:53 |
| Abed | jimqode wut u mean? | 12:54 |
| Scorp_ | Scorp_: isnt it actually a .cgi file ?? I am not really that good with CGI stuff... and then its working on everything except ubuntu... | 12:54 |
| Abed | jimqode do u have a tut? | 12:54 |
| Scorp_ | jimqode: isnt it actually a .cgi file ?? I am not really that good with CGI stuff... and then its working on everything except ubuntu... | 12:54 |
| jimqode | Abed, what are you trying to accomplish? | 12:54 |
| Abed | jimqode i would like to create sql database and connect it to perl | 12:54 |
| jimqode | Scorp_, cgi files work on the server (in your case router) end and spit out html. so you should see html on your source. | 12:55 |
| Abed | jimqode i tried sudo mysql --user=abed --password=test test | 12:55 |
| camcorder | hi | 12:55 |
| jimqode | Abed, you should connect with the root user first and create another mysql user | 12:55 |
| camcorder | what do I set default runlevel on ubuntu? | 12:55 |
| Moojk | why cant I get the freaking network manager to search for networks?! its like "once enabled to manual you can never go back!" | 12:55 |
| Abed | jimqode can u send a link for a tut? | 12:55 |
| Scorp_ | jimqode: OK!! So basically i should see the setup.htm page, ryt ?? but i cannot.. Its lyk the script isnt moving forward... http://192.168.1.1/setup.cgi?next_file=Setup.htm (the next file isnt loading here) | 12:55 |

| bazhang | Moojk, we were trying to determine that; you need to try some of the things I suggested to find out. | 12:59 |
| Scorp_ | jimqode: so its basically manually forwarding to the page the router wants me to go to. The problem is, the page doesnt take the actual values... Its just taking the form values and not the actual config. and its not happening automatically !! | 12:59 |
| jimqode | Scorp_, no i want the source from the stuck page. Don't write anything on the address bar. just login normally. when it gets stuck get the source and paste it in pastebin | 12:59 |

| jimqode | Gian1, there is ubuntu,kubuntu and xubuntu. which one are you using. i suppose ubuntu because you talked about gdm | 13:48 |
| Gian1 | ubuntu yes | 13:48 |
| Gian1 | Now I'm using interpid | 13:49 |
| Gian1 | but also in hardy i've got trouble | 13:49 |
| jimqode | Gian1, what went wrong with installing from the ubuntu hardware manager? | 13:49 |
| Gian1 | It install | 13:49 |
| Gian1 | But when I reboot | 13:49 |
| te | What's a good iso burner for Gnome? | 13:49 |
| Pici | Gian1: Did it work before you installed Intrepid? | 13:49 |
| te | the name of the binary please | 13:49 |
| Gian1 | A windows appear before login saying me that the graphic system will be boot in safe mod | 13:50 |
| bullgard4 | Does there exist a channel to discuss Compiz Fusion? | 13:50 |
| Pici | bullgard4: #compiz-fusion | 13:50 |
| Gian1 | I don't know if it worked before | 13:50 |
| Grobvok | te: you could use Brasero. | 13:50 |
| Gian1 | cause the problem is that the nv driver doesn't support 3d graphic acceleration | 13:50 |
| te | Grobvok: thanks | 13:50 |
| Pici | !burning | te | 13:50 |
| ubottu | te: CD/DVD Burning software: K3b (KDE), gnomebaker, brasero, serpentine, graveman, Nautilus-CD-Burner, GToaster, xcdroast (GNOME), wodim (terminal-based). Burning .iso files: see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/BurningIsoHowto | 13:50 |
| Gian1 | And i've never cheked it in hardy | 13:50 |
| Gian1 | I think that nvidia driver isn't placed in the right place | 13:51 |
| Pici | Gian1: This is not the place to be discussing problems with Intrepid, that is what #ubuntu+1 is for. | 13:51 |
| Gian1 | oh sorry! | 13:51 |
| Gian1 | Thanks a lot for the information! | 13:51 |

| taller | yesterday someone turned of my desktop and since then it wont use 1024 as screen res... | 13:58 |
| taller | can any of you give me a hand on this? | 13:58 |

| geirha | taller: turned off as in "cut power" or the proper way of choosing shutdown from the menus? | 14:00 |
| taller | 1024 has just disapeared from the available modes | 14:00 |
| jimqode | taller, dpkg-reconfigure xserver-xorg as the last resort if nothing told here works. | 14:00 |
| taller | :P someone dumb enough pulled the cable... | 14:01 |
| Vexiq | Guys, I need some help. Firefox and VLC wont play sound but the other media players will... is there somewhere you can change which sound config they use? | 14:01 |

| xeno99 | Hi. I just nmap'd my machine and found port 25 open. I had a quick look on the Ubuntu forum but it's not obvious why this port is open. I can telnet to it, also | 14:36 |
| kindofabuzz | ubottu please don't paste here =) | 14:36 |
| ubottu | kindofabuzz: Error: I am only a bot, please don't think I'm intelligent :) | 14:36 |
| mehul | ActionParsnip: well aptitude doesn't return me anything as such | 14:36 |
| xeno99 | Is this normal? | 14:36 |
| ActionParsnip | xeno99: its smtp | 14:36 |
| xeno99 | ActionParsnip, I know | 14:36 |
| ActionParsnip | xeno99: you running an email server? | 14:37 |
| jimqode | mehul, maybe you don't have the right repository enabled | 14:37 |
| kokobuntu | helo, is the hdd head parking problem fixed in hardy heron? | 14:37 |
| xeno99 | ActionParsnip, No, that's why I don't understand why it is open | 14:37 |
| jimqode | kokobuntu, is that the clicking problem with laptop drives? | 14:37 |
| ActionParsnip | xeno99: run netstat -a | 14:37 |
| ActionParsnip | xeno99: it'll show whats listening | 14:37 |
| Guest06954 | ok | 14:37 |
| mehul | jimqode: any idea which repository? I will check. probably I haven't | 14:37 |
| Guest06954 | now i logged back in | 14:37 |

| erry | Err | 14:38 |
| erry | so how do i make it work | 14:38 |
| erry | and run my windows which is already installed | 14:38 |
| jimqode | mehul, universe probably | 14:38 |
| ActionParsnip | erry: you run virtualbox | 14:38 |
| erry | I DID | 14:38 |
| bizinichi | yo | 14:38 |
| erry | I clicked on windows | 14:38 |
| erry | and it said | 14:38 |
| erry | no bootable medea | 14:38 |
| kokobuntu | yes... the one where some people get 600 k spindown in 6 month | 14:38 |
| FloodBot1 | erry: Please don't flood, use http://paste.ubuntu.com to paste, don't use Enter as punctuation. | 14:38 |
| erry | media | 14:38 |
| xeno99 | ActionParsnip, it says it's listening | 14:38 |
| wers | how do i make ubuntu boot faster for the eee 701? | 14:38 |
| bizinichi | unsure | 14:38 |
| erry | so now how can i make it use the windows ive already installed | 14:38 |
| jimqode | erry, you're going to get kicked if you continue to use enter as a punctuation | 14:39 |
| erry | i mean its already on a patrition cant it just boot it? | 14:39 |
| ActionParsnip | erry: well yeah you gotta make a hard drive on your linux drive and install windows on it. Virtual box isnt going to GIVE you windows | 14:39 |
| ActionParsnip | erry: you dont | 14:39 |
| erry | But | 14:39 |
| erry | i have windows | 14:39 |
| Devourer | Do I have to set a setting to allow another computer to connect to my computer and do some kind of remote control or VPN? | 14:39 |
| erry | on another partition | 14:39 |
| kokobuntu | jimqode: yes ... | 14:39 |
| ActionParsnip | erry: not in virtualbox you dont | 14:39 |
| Grobvok | erry: It does not work that way. | 14:39 |
| erry | But-- | 14:39 |
| erry | .. | 14:39 |
| Pici | erry: You dont need to press enter between every two words. | 14:39 |
| erry | im sick of this OS | 14:39 |
| xeno99 | ActionParsnip, But I already knew that is was listening because I can telnet to it | 14:39 |
| erry | im totally sick of it | 14:40 |
| xnv | Devourer: What kind of connection are you talking about? | 14:40 |
| erry | it cant even run my games with wine | 14:40 |
| erry | wine sucks | 14:40 |
| jimqode | erry, then don't use it. and don't press that enter key that much | 14:40 |
| ActionParsnip | erry: you make an image on your hard drive to hold windows, the virtual box handles it as a drive and the windows cd will see it as a hard syste when its not | 14:40 |
| erry | Can i make wine work | 14:40 |
| erry | ok forget the virtual machine | 14:40 |
| erry | wine wont run a game | 14:40 |
| ActionParsnip | yes you can wine is simple | 14:40 |
| Devourer | xnv, I'd like to connect to another one of my computer from this computer and control it, how should I set that computer up? | 14:40 |
| erry | Wine wont run it | 14:40 |
| erry | btw i dont have sound for some reason | 14:40 |
| Grobvok | erry: What game? | 14:40 |
| ActionParsnip | erry: which game?? | 14:40 |
| erry | gta | 14:40 |
| erry | it wont run | 14:41 |
| xnv | Devourer: Depends what you want, exactly, but probably either SSH or VNC. | 14:41 |
| FloodBot1 | erry: Please don't flood, use http://paste.ubuntu.com to paste, don't use Enter as punctuation. | 14:41 |
| erry | it works in windows, ok? | 14:41 |
| ActionParsnip | erry: you dont have sound cos you havent set it up | 14:41 |
| r00tintheb0x | Hey all, im trying to pull all attachments with a certain extension from a mail server... anyone know of a practical way to do so? | 14:41 |
| erry | .. | 14:41 |
| jimqode | kokobuntu, i think that is a problem with the harddrive firmware. so they won't fix. i have the same problem. i solved it by making a cron job that runs the hdparm command every two minutes. | 14:41 |
| erry | I have | 14:41 |
| erry | it works at times | 14:41 |
| erry | just | 14:41 |
| FloodBot1 | erry: Please don't flood, use http://paste.ubuntu.com to paste, don't use Enter as punctuation. | 14:41 |
| erry | at others it wont | 14:41 |
| Devourer | xnv, I think VNC, right? I want to access the GUI. | 14:41 |
| ActionParsnip | erry: then you need to configure it better | 14:41 |
| Grobvok | erry: What does it say? | 14:41 |
| xeno99 | HI. I seem to have port 25 open and I don't recall installing a mail server on this box. Would it been open as default? Either way, how do I check what is listening on it and prevent it? | 14:41 |
| r00tintheb0x | Its a Zimbra server... i have root access to it. | 14:41 |
| erry | And btw, can you do me a favour and get rid of that goddarn bot? | 14:41 |
| r00tintheb0x | im basicaly trying to pull all .xml attachments out of the /opt/zimbra/store folder and SCP them to another server for conversion. | 14:41 |
| thedoctor | so I have an interesting problem: a couple of full-screen, linux native games seem to think that the up and left arrow keys are being held down constantly | 14:41 |
| erry | the last time i tried, it changed my resulution without doing anything | 14:41 |
| kokobuntu | .... | 14:41 |
| ActionParsnip | erry: ubottu saves us aa tonne of time typing the same crap all the time | 14:41 |
| jimqode | erry, if you don't stop pressing that enter button that bot will get rid of you | 14:41 |
| r00tintheb0x | I was thinking I could use some sort of MIME tool to strip them recursively... but im having problems finding anything. Anyone think something like this would work? http://www.fpx.de/fp/Software/UUDeview/ | 14:41 |
| erry | The bot sucks | 14:42 |
| xnv | Devourer: SSH allows you to do what's called X11 forwarding, which means you can open applications remotely and have the GUI... but it wouldn't be like your entire desktop. | 14:42 |
| ActionParsnip | erry: hes not going anywhere fast | 14:42 |
| erry | Oh thank you | 14:42 |
| erry | im not a he | 14:42 |
| erry | im a she | 14:42 |
| erry | ok? | 14:42 |
| FloodBot1 | erry: Please don't flood, use http://paste.ubuntu.com to paste, don't use Enter as punctuation. | 14:42 |
| xnv | Devourer: So you could type gedit and a gedit Window would pop up. But there would be no menus like Applications, Places, System. | 14:42 |
| ActionParsnip | erry: chill with the enter | 14:42 |
| jimqode | Devourer, you can use vnc or vino | 14:42 |
| Devourer | xnv, yeah, I think I'd just like it to be as if I were sitting at the computer. | 14:42 |
| versus | hi i want to install a xen kernel with apt-get for a domU what do I need? sudo apt-get install xen? | 14:42 |
| ActionParsnip | erryyou could have put that all on one long line | 14:42 |
| xeno99 | HI. I seem to have port 25 open and I don't recall installing a mail server on this box. Would it been open as default? Either way, how do I check what is listening on it and prevent it? | 14:42 |
| xnv | Devourer: Then yes, VNC. It is also slower, though. | 14:42 |
| Devourer | xnv, that's alright. | 14:42 |
| kokobuntu | There is remote dektop built in ubuntu | 14:42 |
| jimqode | Devourer, vino shares your current session (i.e. the one you see on your monitor) vnc opens a new remote session. | 14:43 |
| Devourer | xnv, so, how would I set VNC up? | 14:43 |
| kokobuntu | but disable by defult | 14:43 |
| Devourer | xnv, oh... I want vino then I think. | 14:43 |
| arvind_khadri | how to patch a bzr??? | 14:43 |
| ActionParsnip | xeno99: you there, i got sidetracked by an idiot | 14:43 |
| xnv | Devourer: It's already set up. I guess the one they use is called vino, but same idea. | 14:43 |
| jimqode | Devourer, http://www.howtogeek.com/howto/ubuntu/allow-remote-control-to-your-desktop-on-ubuntu/ | 14:43 |
| xeno99 | ActionParsnip, I noticed | 14:43 |
| xnv | Devourer: System > Preferences > Remote Desktop | 14:43 |
| ActionParsnip | xeno99: ok, whats listening on 25? | 14:43 |
| xeno99 | Dunno. It just says something is listening | 14:44 |
| kokobuntu | neone know whether hard disk killing problem in ubuntu laptop is solv or not in hardy | 14:44 |
| jimqode | xeno99, telnet localhost 25. it should have a banner that says what it is. | 14:44 |
| ActionParsnip | xeno99: give us a pastebin | 14:44 |
| xeno99 | ActionParsnip, says ESMTP | 14:44 |
| xeno99 | ActionParsnip, No banner | 14:44 |
| xeno99 | ActionParsnip, ESMTP EXIM 4.69 | 14:44 |
| kokobuntu | ... i just lost a hdd, want to know whether hv to use other distro or worst window$ | 14:45 |
| ActionParsnip | xeno99: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/ESMTP | 14:45 |
| Devourer | xnv, how do I know what port it is? Will the Vino client know what port? | 14:45 |
| xeno99 | ActionParsnip, OK, so it's something listening. I don't recall installing anything | 14:45 |
| jimqode | kokobuntu, there are workarounds. | 14:45 |
| o0Loco0o | anyone know where to find a good guide on setting up raid on hardy? | 14:45 |
| ogzy | anybody knows how can i awake a suspended or hibernated ubuntu pc from lan? | 14:46 |
| kokobuntu | so it is not fix in hardy yet .... thx! | 14:46 |
| thedoctor | ogzy: wake on lan? | 14:46 |
| ActionParsnip | xeno99: are you running any mail programs right now? | 14:46 |
| Grobvok | kokobuntu: Fix for what? | 14:46 |
| ogzy | thedoctor, yes it wakes up at ping | 14:46 |
| xeno99 | ActionParsnip, Nope | 14:47 |
| ogzy | thedoctor, dont ask me the reason of it, i just need it i think it is for enabling remote management | 14:47 |
| thedoctor | ogzy, wait, so it wakes up if it's off but not if it's hibernating? | 14:47 |
| jimqode | kokobuntu, that is a problem with hitachi harddrives. not with ubuntu. | 14:47 |
| OldFarter | Can someone please help me with my nvidia card or am i doomed to eternal vesa? | 14:47 |

| jimqode | OldFarter, tell us your problem | 14:47 |
| OldFarter | well i got a nvidia 8200 | 14:48 |
| wols_ | xyblor: change your sources.list to only point to network based repos | 14:48 |
| jimqode | xyblor, disable cd repo from synaptic | 14:48 |
| ogzy | thedoctor, no it should also wakes up at hibernate | 14:48 |
| xyblor | wols_: as far as I can see, it already does | 14:48 |
| o0Loco0o | anyone know anything about raid | 14:48 |
| ActionParsnip | xeno99: kill the process and see if the system is still ok, you can always reboot | 14:48 |
| xyblor | jimqode: okay I'll check there | 14:48 |
| jimqode | OldFarter, that doesn't sound like a problem to me. :) | 14:48 |
| OldFarter | and it just seems like an impossible task to find a driver that will work | 14:48 |
| wols_ | OldFarter: that one's not supported in the ubuntu drivers yet afaik. you must probably go to nvidia.com and download theirs | 14:48 |

| roe_ | o0Loco0o, it kills roaches | 14:48 |
| wols_ | xyblor: then remove the pointers to your cdrom | 14:48 |
| ActionParsnip | xeno99: ps -ef | grep smtp | 14:48 |
| OldFarter | i did and it just fks up again | 14:49 |
| xeno99 | ActionParsnip, there are some evolution processes running | 14:49 |
| ActionParsnip | roe_: boots work better | 14:49 |
| wols_ | !errors | OldFarter | 14:49 |

| ActionParsnip | xeno99: do you usse evolution? | 14:49 |

| wols_ | !Locales | 14:50 |
| ubottu | To set up and configure your locales, see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/LocaleConf | 14:50 |
| ActionParsnip | xeno99: hmm, id look into evolutons config | 14:50 |
| xeno99 | ActionParsnip, And it is a client. I don't see why it should have a port open, listening | 14:50 |
| ActionParsnip | xeno99: me either | 14:50 |
| wols_ | xeno99: which port? | 14:50 |
| xeno99 | Port 25 | 14:50 |
| thedoctor | has anyone heard of certain fullscreen programs thinking that arrow keys were being held down? | 14:50 |
| ActionParsnip | xeno99: but i dont use any email clients but i can help narrow stuff down | 14:50 |
| wols_ | now THAT is odd. by default this should be postfix. | 14:50 |
| wols_ | xeno99: why is postfix not running? | 14:50 |
| xeno99 | postfix? | 14:51 |
| wols_ | yes postfix | 14:51 |
| bluey | ActionParsnip: i went through the "no sound in flash" tutorial | 14:51 |
| OldFarter | ill just go lay down in a corner and watch vesa | 14:51 |
| xeno99 | In sys monitor, there is no postfix process | 14:51 |
| ActionParsnip | bluey: any joy | 14:51 |
| bluey | ActionParsnip: but the problem is not that i dont have sound in flash | 14:51 |
| jimqode | OldFarter, 800x600 should be enough for anybody :P | 14:51 |
| wols_ | xeno99: what ubuntu version? | 14:51 |
| xeno99 | 8.10 | 14:51 |
| wols_ | !Intrepid | 14:52 |

| bluey | when flash and amarock are both working at the same time i dont get sound in any | 14:52 |
| v0lksman | anyone know how to alt+tab in an NX session (linux client to remote linux system)...? | 14:52 |
| wols_ | xeno99: wrong channel | 14:52 |
| ActionParsnip | bluey: its probably a locked pulseaudio thingy ive heard about | 14:52 |
| bluey | i get sound in flash when amarok is not working | 14:52 |
| bluey | aah | 14:52 |
| xeno99 | wols, sorry, it's no alpha | 14:52 |
| jimqode | OldFarter, by the way this is happening because nvidia does not release the specs for their graphics cards. ATI and intel have open drivers. | 14:52 |
| xeno99 | it's the last release | 14:52 |
| bluey | so how do i go about unlocking it? | 14:52 |
| xeno99 | that was 8.04? I can never remember ;-) | 14:53 |
| fantomas | wols_: thanks for the link, but I found nothing on the page about how to simply add/remove locales | 14:53 |
| wols_ | xeno99: intrepid is NOT supported in here. go to the channel ubottu told you about | 14:53 |
| fantomas | wols_: localconf module doesn't exist on 8.04 | 14:53 |
| ActionParsnip | OldFarter: what graphics card you got? | 14:53 |
| wols_ | xeno99: dpkg -l libc6 | tail -1 | 14:53 |
| wols_ | ActionParsnip: nvidia 8200 | 14:53 |
| bluey | ActionParsnip: Hardy uses pulse audio? | 14:53 |
| jimqode | bluey, yes it doe | 14:53 |
| fantomas | wols_: and dpkg-reconfigure locales simply regenerates them | 14:53 |
| xeno99 | 2.7-10ubuntu3 | 14:53 |
| ActionParsnip | bluey: not sure | 14:53 |
| Shane-S | I have a problem I can't track down, I had a user enable samba, and since I can not access my server via Apache using its IP. | 14:54 |

| ubottu | OldFarter: 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 | 14:54 |

| Shane-S | I have checked iptables -L and it is clear | 14:54 |
| wols_ | Shane-S: is apache2 running and listening? | 14:54 |
| bluey | my output plugin in amarok was set to "automatic" | 14:54 |
| fantomas | wols_: I don't understand what you mean, sorry | 14:55 |
| wols_ | fantomas: you typed it wrongly | 14:55 |
| bluey | sud i specify "pulse audio" or alsa to get it to both work | 14:55 |
| wols_ | fantomas: use the proper command and it will be there | 14:55 |
| Shane-S | netstat -lt has *:www for it, and I can load localhost when I added a record to /etc/hosts for our domain to it loads | 14:55 |
| xeno99 | wols, it's 8.04-1 | 14:55 |
| wols_ | Shane-S: that's not what I asked. answer the question not some made up fantasy | 14:56 |
| Shane-S | doing a start gave me an error, but says it is running | 14:56 |
| Shane-S | its an arp_sockaddr_info_get() failed | 14:57 |
| bluey | yeee | 14:57 |
| bluey | problem solved | 14:57 |

| ActionParsnip | makes sense | 14:58 |

| sdubois92 | I'm an experience *nix user and i set my aunt and her family up with Ubuntu on their desktop and its working great, but the also have a laptop with 256mb RAM, and i wondered if Ubuntu will preform just as well for basic tasks such as OO.o, firefox, pidgin, GIMP etc. or if Xubuntu will be faster, and if it will be, how easy will it be to use in comparison. | 15:33 |
| DogBoy | so try it and see | 15:33 |
| TiredWolf | sdubois92, 256 megs is tight. pretty tight, especially for openoffice. | 15:33 |
| linduxed_ | what was the chmod for "everyone, do wtf you want" ? (or chmod) | 15:33 |
| erUSUL | sdubois92: go with xubuntu | 15:33 |
| ck42 | jimqode: I've added the entry, but when I select it, the terminal window never even opens. If I remove the "-c app" part, then the terminal window opens correctly. | 15:33 |
| Pici | roch09: http://paste.ubuntu.com | 15:33 |
| sdubois92 | erUSUL: is it just as easy? | 15:34 |
| TiredWolf | sdubois92: xubuntu will help, but if openoffice takes up an arm and a leg, it can't help much. what might help more is using, say, AbiWord and friends instead of OOo | 15:34 |
| Blaze_Boy | I have this message on boot and i want to know what is the problem and fix it : Applying intel IA32 Microcode update.... firmware_helper[4456] : main error loading '/lib/firmware/intel-ucode/0f-02-09' with driver '(unknown)'...... done >>and for information i have installed microcode_ctl and applyed a new microcode to my intel celeron 2.4 GHz processor , i think it's the problem but i can't fix it :( | 15:34 |

| jimqode | ck42, let me check that. maybe i don't remember it correctly | 15:36 |
| morlockhq | sdubois92, I have xubuntu running on a 128MB machine and it is a little slow, but not bad. | 15:36 |

| roch09 | this is my grub/menu.lst contents http://paste.ubuntu.com/35556/, please help vista doesnt load | 15:36 |
| TiredWolf | sdubois92: you might investigate browsers other than firefox, too, that's also a bit on the heavy side perhaps | 15:36 |

| Chousuke | might be that it's ##mono, though | 15:39 |

| dwarrel | Kindofabuzz: Thanks! its perfect now :D | 15:58 |
| jimqode | j800r, is it a usb printer? | 15:58 |
| bmarley13 | can someone help me with some simple theme editing? | 15:58 |
| geirha | roch09: Yes. I don't think the order has anything to say really, but that's the order my entry has. | 15:58 |
| kindofabuzz | C0p3rn1c: huh? very productive | 15:58 |
| kindofabuzz | dwarrel: np | 15:58 |
| C0p3rn1c | kindofabuzz: I mean efficient | 15:59 |
| j800r | jimqode: no, it's parallel port | 15:59 |
| jimqode | C0p3rn1c, try mc. it's very efficient imho. | 15:59 |
| kindofabuzz | C0p3rn1c: mv *.mp3 /blah/asdf easy | 15:59 |
| jimqode | what is the model? | 15:59 |
| jimqode | j800r, what is the model? | 15:59 |
| C0p3rn1c | jimqode: ok | 15:59 |
| j800r | jimqode: it's an epson stylus 680 | 15:59 |
| roch09 | geirha > thanks I am trying supergrub, if it fails, I will change the entries as u said | 16:00 |
| monostone | platius: well i followed the instructions indicated, but i still can't see any usb from vb | 16:01 |
| C0p3rn1c | jimqode: flash based? | 16:01 |
| ikonia | roch09: you've been told the method you are using will not work | 16:01 |
| jimqode | j800r, use this as a guide. there will be no autodetected printers. just choose another printer by specifying port, then lp0. choose the printer driver closest to your printer model. | 16:01 |
| ikonia | roch09: you've been also told this is NOTHING to do with ubuntu | 16:01 |
| ikonia | roch09: using the vista boot loader to load grub is not supported, using the vista boot loader to load ubuntu will not work - please please please, get support from the guy who wrote the doc your reading | 16:02 |
| C0p3rn1c | kindofabuzz: to be more exact I want a good music player with a nice library that allows you to easally move/delete/rate/catogerize your music | 16:02 |
| geirha | ikonia: It's the vista entry in grub that is the problem ... | 16:02 |
| mrtimdog | C0p3rn1c: Amarok? | 16:02 |
| ikonia | geirha: not from what I'm reading | 16:03 |
| ikonia | geirha: or if I have it wrong I apologise | 16:03 |
| j800r | jimqode: i actually have drivers for my printer, but they're in source, and gzip format. I'm not sure how to compile/install from source | 16:03 |
| monostone | another issue i have is making vfat partition available to virtualbox. I configured the share via the devices->share menu, but the folder does not appear, any ideas? | 16:03 |
| kindofabuzz | banshee, amarok, exaile, alot of choices | 16:03 |
| * C0p3rn1c is checking out amarok | 16:03 | |
| jimqode | j800r, you probably won't need them. | 16:03 |
| jimqode | j800r, try the standard method first | 16:03 |
| alilo | hi :) i have problem with virtualbox on Elyssa when i try to start virtual machine i have an error message and it can't run | 16:04 |

| include_pr | anyone have the same problem? | 16:06 |
| j800r | haha! he hates pcs. hence why i put ubuntu on for him. already has everything he needs ;) | 16:06 |
| monostone | alilo: please provide detailed error messages to understand what your problem is | 16:06 |
| roch09 | Ikonia> firstly the method I was trying works, through NEOgrub, so stop telling me it doesn't, then I made a mistake of changing the entries in EASYBCD, thats when vista stopped working, so I decided to get back GRUB to MBR, now Vista doesn't work, so I am here trying to figure that out. you don't want to help, don't but if you dont know something please stay away. | 16:06 |
| alilo | monostone, okay | 16:06 |
| C0p3rn1c | mrtimdog: thanks amarok was exactly what i was looking for! | 16:07 |

| amod | hello all any female here ? | 16:23 |
| soundray | !ot | amod | 16:24 |
| ubottu | amod: #ubuntu is the Ubuntu support channel, #ubuntu+1 supports the development version of Ubuntu and #ubuntu-offtopic is for random chatter. Welcome! | 16:24 |
| BrandonS | amod, this is not a dating service | 16:24 |
| Qiler | Anyone? | 16:24 |
| zmig | Qiler: You should be fine, swap doesn't really count | 16:24 |
| frostburn | flona, geirha the ubuntu install cd is a livecd, you can run fsck on the hard disks with it | 16:24 |
| Cripps | if you're not supposed to drink more than 500 mL of Rockstar a day, then why do they sell it in 710 mL cans? | 16:24 |

| flona | any global setting for gnome i can disable it to login as fail safe ? | 16:25 |
| ay^ | i forgot the name right now tho | 16:25 |

| zmig | Qiler: I run with 2 ntfs partitions along with my ext3 | 16:25 |
| flona | frostburn: i know that, i dont have the installation cd too | 16:25 |
| ay^ | Qiler: if you fire up ubuntu livecd and you gparted first | 16:25 |
| tosate | Qiler: why do you need 5 primary partitions? | 16:25 |
| flona | i need to get into office to get it | 16:25 |
| soundray | Qiler: you can set up four primary partitions max, or three primaries plus one extended. The extended one can contain multiple logical partitions. | 16:25 |
| flona | i doubt fsck would fix the problem | 16:25 |
| soundray | Qiler: it's a limitation from DOS times, not at all Ubuntu-specific | 16:25 |
| flona | is a settings issue in gnome and/or display | 16:25 |

| geirha | flona: Try a different wm perhaps. Try installing the fluxbox package and log in with fluxbox as session. | 16:28 |
| bobertdos | Qiler: It is not necessary, nor does it make much sense to have your home on a separate partition. Mounting one Ext3 partition to / gives you everything you need. | 16:28 |
| SpeCon | soundray no i don't see any msg | 16:28 |

| flona | what about KDE | 16:28 |
| geirha | flona: aye, possibly with sudo infront if you're not root | 16:29 |
| Qiler | hmmm so should i make only swap and root? | 16:29 |
| bobertdos | Qiler: As for your other partitions, they should not be a problem. Yes, only swap and root as far as Ubuntu is concerned. | 16:29 |
| geirha | flona: If compiz is the issue, then fluxbox is better, because it's not compatible with compiz. | 16:29 |

| flona | geirha: i checked .xsessions-errors there are tons of errors saying unable to set value setting to default | 16:35 |
| Takmadeus | Has anyone managed to do what I am saying? | 16:35 |
| bobertdos | norber: So, your card works, but it's not detecting your network? | 16:35 |
| flona | geirha: failed to read $$VARIABLE$$ then sets it to default | 16:35 |
| flona | lots of variables | 16:35 |
| norber | bobertdos: yes, its not detecting nothing | 16:35 |
| SpeCon | soundray: is that the only command to do ? to make it work. cause i'm gonna reboot my computer now and going to try itp | 16:36 |
| Takmadeus | I have this problem that I want random quotes to appear in my mail, but the editor preferences only allow me to choose one at a time instead of adding a random one | 16:36 |
| soundray | SpeCon: I don't know. I've been trying to explain: there are many possible reasons why this error could be happening. One of them is drive controller trouble, if it's that, this kernel parameter may fix it. | 16:36 |
| geirha | flona: hm I have some error messages in my .xsession-errors too, but no one that matches your description | 16:36 |
| norber | i have ubuntu 8.04 lts and the version of ndiswrapper 1.51 | 16:36 |
| soundray | SpeCon: it's actually the most frequent reason for this error. | 16:37 |
| SpeCon | soundray: okay i'm going to try that | 16:37 |
| flona | geirha: where i can set the resolution for global to re-login on gnome ? | 16:37 |
| SpeCon | i be back in some minutes so please stand by here | 16:37 |

| bobertdos | norber: What card are you using and what driver did you use for it? | 16:37 |
| Takmadeus | i am using evolution btw | 16:37 |
| geirha | flona: open a terminal and run gnome-appearance-properties. Try to disable compiz from the visual effects tab there. | 16:38 |
| norber | bobertdos: card wmp300N driver net5416 from Xp | 16:38 |
| norber | the card have chip atheros | 16:39 |
| dmi3on | what is normal swap portition size ?> | 16:39 |
| bobertdos | dmi3on: A general rule is twice your RAM. | 16:39 |
| dmi3on | ok, thx | 16:39 |
| dmi3on | bobertdos, type of protition logical or promery ? | 16:40 |

| simotempler | is vmware server for ubuntu free | 16:40 |
| mw44118 | hi -- Got a question about the less pager. Is there a way to reload a file? Right now, I quit and restart. | 16:41 |
| kane77 | simotempler, what do you mean by free? as in beer or as in speech? | 16:41 |
| bobertdos | dmi3on: Well, if your talking about Ubuntu swaps, they are not primary nor are they extended. | 16:41 |
| flona | geirha: did it, same issue | 16:41 |
| dmi3on | can i run compiz on intel 965 | 16:41 |
| norber | bobertdos: the file .inf used in ndiswrapper is: http://paste.ubuntu.com/35572/ | 16:41 |
| simotempler | no cost | 16:41 |
| paolo_ | this is my question: I want to know if a package has been installed using apt-get install or if it has been installed with apt-get source (how do i distinguish these two) | 16:42 |
| kane77 | dmi3on, yes, although for example blur does not work with the drivers (I'm not sure about 965, but on my 955 it runs OK apart from blur) | 16:42 |
| soundray | dmi3on: yes, you can. If you have more than 512MB RAM, don't make your swap bigger than RAM+10% | 16:42 |
| simotempler | if i have xp on a dual boot can i run that in ubuntu using vmware server for free | 16:42 |
| bobertdos | norber: and you know for a fact that there are broadcasting ssid's around you? | 16:43 |
| sunru | hi | 16:43 |
| Takmadeus | I have this problem that I want random quotes to appear in my mail, but the editor preferences only allow me to choose one at a time instead of adding a random one. I am using evolution | 16:43 |
| soundray | simotempler: can you rephrase that question? | 16:43 |
| sunru | i just installed ubuntu desktop, I admit I wasn't paying too much attention, but I don't recall it asking for a root password? did I miss something? | 16:43 |
| dmi3on | bobertdos, in ubuntu install, creat new portition when i select swap i can make selection of "type of new portiotion" you saying it doesnt matter what i selcet ? | 16:43 |
| norber | bobertdos: yes | 16:43 |
| sunru | er ubuntu server sorry. | 16:43 |
| geirha | flona: Ok, so the problem is not with compiz then. I've never heard of such a problem with gnome before though ... not sure how to proceed. | 16:43 |
| Pici | !root | sunru | 16:43 |
| ubottu | sunru: Do not try to guess the root password, that is impossible. Instead, realise the truth... there is no root password. Then you will see that it is 'sudo' that grants you access and not the root password. Look at https://help.ubuntu.com/community/RootSudo | 16:43 |
| bobertdos | dmi3on: Well, I suppose primary would be the best choice in most cases. | 16:44 |
| simotempler | if i have xp on a dual boot can i run that within ubuntu using vmware server by downloading vmware for ubuntu from the respos free of charge | 16:44 |
| dmi3on | ook | 16:44 |
| norber | bobertdos: you speak spanish? | 16:45 |
| flona | geirha: whats the command that fires the menu ? it seems i have something curropted from last night's shutdown | 16:45 |
| simotempler | or do i have to pay for vmware server | 16:45 |
| sunru | ubottu: sorry, I did try sudo, but it prompted for root password. | 16:45 |
| soundray | dmi3on: I disagree. Make logical partitions whenever you can | 16:45 |
| ubottu | sunru: Error: I am only a bot, please don't think I'm intelligent :) | 16:45 |
| flona | geirha: is there any command to update everything ? | 16:45 |
| sunru | eh | 16:45 |
| geirha | flona: which files? | 16:45 |
| soundray | sunru: no, sudo prompts for your user password | 16:45 |
| flona | geirha: all gnome/system files or something. because i did export DISPLAY=:0 from one of the tty's and i'm able to launch things there | 16:46 |
| dmi3on | soundray, are you saying that both ext3 and swap i have to make logical ? | 16:46 |
| bobertdos | norber: Si quieres hablar, venga a #ubuntu-es | 16:46 |
| kenkku | how do I show files installed by some package with commandline tools (apt-*, aptitude)? | 16:46 |
| * dmi3on i lost :( | 16:46 | |
| geirha | flona: Ok, try "sudo aptitude reinstall gnome-panel" perhaps | 16:46 |
| soundray | dmi3on: you don't have to, but it's fine if you do, and logical partitions are more flexible. | 16:46 |
| eross | after I set up and run an ubuntu filserver, should I shut anything down like gnome or kde to improve efficiency | 16:46 |
| dmi3on | ok | 16:46 |
| soundray | kenkku: dpkg -L packagename | 16:46 |
| kenkku | soundray: thanks. didn't think of using dpkg | 16:47 |
| simotempler | also can vmware sever run an xp installation already installed on a different partition or do i have to install it within vmware | 16:47 |

| Doska | hello all i get this error on installing GIT sudo: ./compiz-git: command not found | 16:47 |
| mgolisch | simotempler: mostlikely, windows will mostlikely bsod if booted in vmware | 16:47 |
| mrtimdog | simotempler: You can with virtualbox, so I'd assume there's a way with vmware although I've never used it. | 16:48 |
| geirha | flona: Also, it would be nice to get to run an fsck ... do you have a burner? You could try the gparted live CD which is just 50-60Mb, it should have fsck on it. | 16:48 |
| mgolisch | simotempler: you can however use vmware server to create a virtualmachine from a running windows instalaltrion | 16:48 |
| dmi3on | soundray, what is defference between lacation for new portition: Beginning or End ? | 16:48 |
| mgolisch | simotempler: or better said use vmware-converter to do so | 16:48 |
| eross | if i use samba, can any windows box see my harddrive or does it need to be formatted fat32/ntfs ? | 16:48 |

| flona | geirha: i'm getting gnome-panel is not currently install so it iwll not be reinstalled message | 16:48 |

| eross | halo romain_ | 16:49 |
| simotempler | to install | 16:49 |
| geirha | ubottu: tell flona about gparted | 16:49 |
| ubottu | flona, please see my private message | 16:49 |
| SpeCon | soundray: I did what you said. Actually there happend something different with that command. I saw the linux kernel loading screen. i mean the window were you can see .... Ok .... Ok etc but after that my screen was black again and the cd stoped | 16:49 |
| soundray | dmi3on: always start at the beginning of the disk and build it up towards the end. That's a rule of thumb -- there can be exceptions. | 16:49 |
| mgolisch | simotempler: what? virtualbox? | 16:50 |
| SpeCon | soundray: is this only with the linux ubuntu version ? | 16:50 |
| SpeCon | that problem that you told me | 16:50 |
| geirha | flona: gnome-panel should be installed ... Have you uninstalled something recently ? | 16:50 |
| flona | geirha: i tried to enable compiz i got a nerror saying i don't have a driver for my 3D grapgics card | 16:50 |
| romain_ | quelqu'un parle francais ? | 16:50 |
| soundray | SpeCon: I don't know | 16:50 |
| Pici | !fr | romain_ | 16:50 |
| ubottu | romain_: Ce canal est en anglais uniquement. Si vous avez besoin d'aide ou voulez discuter en francais, merci de rejoindre #ubuntu-fr ou #kubuntu-fr | 16:50 |
| simotempler | mgolisch - ya virtualbox | 16:50 |
| flona | geirha: yes i uninstalled evolution and few other evolution-* stuff | 16:50 |
| mgolisch | simotempler: no the installtion doesnt take much space | 16:50 |
| flona | geirha: i could removed by bby mistake? | 16:50 |
| mgolisch | flona: thats bad | 16:50 |
| eross | je regrette romain_, nous nes pas parles la fracais ici. | 16:50 |
| simotempler | cool cheers | 16:50 |
| geirha | flona: It might have had dependancies that eventuall uninstalled gnome-panel. Try "sudo aptitude install ubuntu-desktop" | 16:51 |
| mgolisch | flona: that rips out gnome-control-center gnome-panel and a lot of other gnome stuff as those depend on evolution-data-server | 16:51 |
| dmi3on | soundray, i have 40Gb hard drive 2 GB ram, swap is 4G Beginning, rest is ext3 End, like this or backward | 16:51 |
| romain_ | #ubuntu-fr | 16:51 |
| soundray | SpeCon: but I'm glad that all_generic_ide helped. Now you should boot again and select 'Safe Graphics mode' from the boot options. Remember, you still have to hit F6 and enter the boot option. | 16:51 |
| geirha | flona: It will probably reinstall evolution as well as everything needed to run gnome properly | 16:51 |
| simotempler | mgolisch - is it virtualbox-ose on the respos | 16:51 |
| soundray | dmi3on: I prefer to put the important things at the beginning, so I would reverse it | 16:51 |
| mrtimdog | flona: Try a: sudo apt-get install -f ubuntu-desktop | 16:51 |
| dmi3on | ook thx | 16:52 |
| flona | geirha: shouldn't i do apt-get install gnome first ? | 16:52 |
| mgolisch | simotempler: thats the opensource edition i think it doesnt have usb support or something | 16:52 |
| geirha | flona: ubuntu-desktop depends on alot of gnome-packages, so it will be installed along with it if it isn't installed. | 16:53 |
| simotempler | mgolisch - so that will let me run xp in ubuntu from my current dual boot and also still allow my dual boot to work as normal if i want | 16:53 |

| flona | i removed evolution because i wanted ubuntu to detect that my default email client is thunderbird, is there a way to make it understand that thunderbird is the default email client ? | 16:54 |
| soundray | ph8: you will need the alternate CD | 16:54 |
| soundray | !alternate | ph8 | 16:54 |
| ubottu | ph8: The Alternate CD is a classical text-mode install CD. It supports a wider range of hardware than the !LiveCD, and can also be used as an upgrade CD. Look for the alternate checkbox on the Ubuntu download page - See also !minimal - Torrent at http://releases.ubuntu.com/8.04/ubuntu-8.04-alternate-i386.iso.torrent | 16:54 |
| mgolisch | simotempler:i dont think so, windows is quite pricky about hardware chnges and in the vm you usualy have different hardware than your real host, so it might mess tsuff up | 16:54 |

| RageMachine | I need some help deciding between 64bit and 32bit, on a 1.9ghz dual core, with 768MB of ram (laptop) | 16:58 |
| soundray | RageMachine: are you going to run numbercrunching, videoencoding or other CPU-intensive apps? | 16:59 |
| RageMachine | not that I know of. | 17:00 |
| RageMachine | watching videos may be an option | 17:00 |
| jeek | Oh come on, I was poking fun at the friendly community. :) | 17:00 |
| kwtm | /join #kubuntu | 17:00 |
| soundray | RageMachine: does it make you mad when you don't get the last drop of performance from your machine? | 17:00 |
| eross | oh nevermind, samba is not needed on client pcs if you use smbfs | 17:00 |
| EvilDennisR | !clone | 17:00 |
| ubottu | 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 | 17:00 |
| RageMachine | soundray, not my machine. I know 64 has more overhead then 32. hence I wanted to know if it was still wise to go with 64 even with only 768 of ram | 17:00 |
| mgolisch | eross: smbfs is a kernel module to mount smb shares, wheras samba is a daemon which allows you to share folders on your linux box using the smb protocol | 17:00 |
| mgolisch | eross: yeah | 17:01 |
| RageMachine | soundray, the faster the better though. | 17:01 |
| soundray | RageMachine: how do you mean overhead -- that the binaries are slightly larger? | 17:01 |
| eross | can windows use those same drives or do the drives need to be in ntfs format | 17:01 |
| eross | thru samba | 17:01 |
| eross | oops did it agaijn, while looking at the samba server | 17:01 |
| RageMachine | soundray: overhead as in it uses more room because of 64bit addresses instead of 32 | 17:02 |
| RageMachine | soundray on high-ram machines this is negligible, but I am not so sure for 768 of ram | 17:02 |
| Omar87 | How do I install svn? | 17:02 |
| mgolisch | there are some advantages of 64bit but the main thing might be that it can address more memory which isnt needed at all with under 1gb of ram | 17:02 |
| mgolisch | Omar87: apt-get install subversion | 17:02 |
| soundray | RageMachine: I don't think that's significant, but I haven't thought or heard/read about this issue | 17:02 |
| EvilDennisR | Omar87: apt-get install subversion | 17:02 |
| RageMachine | soundray it was brought up alot with vista on laptops under 1gb of ram | 17:03 |
| soundray | RageMachine: anyways, one more question: are you going to need java in the browser? | 17:03 |
| RageMachine | soundray yep, though java works in 64 and 32 | 17:03 |
| soundray | RageMachine: brought up with Vista? You must be young ;) | 17:03 |
| RageMachine | soundray says who? | 17:03 |
| Omar87 | Thanks mgolisch, EvilDennisR | 17:04 |
| soundray | RageMachine: java does, but the browser plugins don't | 17:04 |
| RageMachine | soundray following tech trends and news shouldn't define my asge | 17:04 |
| RageMachine | soundray true | 17:04 |
| soundray | RageMachine: anyway, even that issue will go away in intrepid. | 17:04 |
| RageMachine | soundray yea i know | 17:04 |
| RageMachine | soundray but I need to figure out if the extra overhead is worth it for 64bit just to get more out of the processor | 17:05 |
| RageMachine | soundray is there any difference in boot times between 64 and 32? | 17:05 |
| soundray | RageMachine: here's the deal: I choose 64bit for every machine that supports it, and I've never had a problem since hardy, even with proprietary software like Adobe Reader, Google Earth and Skype | 17:05 |

| mgolisch | or dont use vista... | 17:10 |

| soundray | RageMachine: what are the specs? | 17:10 |
| RageMachine | soundray, the people over at #xubuntu seem to think 32.... dun dun dun! lol. | 17:10 |

| maszlo | im looking for a some software to clean up my music collection.. searching google I have only ran into a couple apps for removing duplicate files.. can anyone recommend some software for fixing id3 tags, duplicate files, album art in a mass scale? | 17:11 |
| kane1 | Hi the network manager is not connecting me to a connection What can i do | 17:11 |
| mgolisch | vmware didnt run on vista , vista toool far too much ram for itself, no idea about virtualbox | 17:11 |
| mgolisch | took | 17:11 |
| kane1 | Hi the network manager is not connecting me to a connection What can i do | 17:11 |
| pjvandehaar | atha: in xubuntu i was able to set up the applications menu from right click. not sure how in ubuntu | 17:11 |
| soundray | RageMachine: it will be far from sluggish with Xubuntu. It would actually be fine with gnome. | 17:11 |
| RageMachine | pjvanderhaar: thats not available in gnome, its xfce only | 17:11 |
| pjvandehaar | oh | 17:11 |
| kane1 | Hi the network manager is not connecting me to a connection What can i do | 17:11 |
| RageMachine | soundray, yes, but I just wanted to know if it would be more efficient as 32 or 64. | 17:12 |
| RageMachine | soundray also i prefer xfce to gnome in most cases anywyas | 17:12 |
| kane1 | Is there a command to connect to a wireless connection | 17:12 |
| mgolisch | i like fluxbox better | 17:12 |
| pjvandehaar | atha: you could try just smaller applications- i use thunar in gnome and its great | 17:12 |
| hateball | maszlo: EasyTag | 17:12 |
| mgolisch | kane1: yeah you can setup the wlan connection using iwconfig/wpa_supplicant manualy | 17:12 |
| RageMachine | not a big fan of flux, to minimalist. though fluxbuntu isnt bad | 17:12 |
| soundray | RageMachine: well, in this case, it'll be your sister's preference that matters most | 17:13 |
| mgolisch | kane1: but using the networkmanager is much easier | 17:13 |
| kane1 | it does not connect me | 17:13 |
| RageMachine | soundray xp will be on dual boot, so its more of finding which would be faster. guess I can only test it. | 17:13 |
| foobar1 | okay I just set up a hard drive on another computer to replace a broken HD on a computer. When I swapt the HD out it can't connect to the internet. This is an exact copy. I'm thinking the networking isn't working. restarting the networking isn't helping. maybe the mac is different? | 17:13 |
| mgolisch | kane1: why? | 17:13 |
| dvoid_ | ello :) anyone tried to setup a 3g connectin trough bluetooth | 17:13 |
| kane1 | IDK it did before | 17:13 |
| soundray | RageMachine: and again, I don't think there will be a noticeable performance difference between 64 and 32 in this situation, except when she starts to encode video. | 17:13 |
| kane1 | not i put my card in monitar mode and it stop doing it | 17:13 |
| mgolisch | kane1: sure your key is right? and that you selected the right otions? | 17:14 |
| RageMachine | soundray define encode | 17:14 |
| soundray | RageMachine: or calculate prime quadruplets | 17:14 |
| soundray | RageMachine: what's there to define? | 17:14 |
| mgolisch | kane1: ? you putyour card in monitor mode? | 17:14 |
| RageMachine | soundray Man! she does that like all the time! lol. | 17:14 |
| kane1 | yes | 17:14 |
| mgolisch | kane1: why? | 17:14 |
| kane1 | How can i disable that | 17:14 |
| linduxed | hey guys | 17:14 |
| kane1 | IDK someone told me | 17:14 |
| nmcbride | mgolisch: to break wep/wpa why else? ;) | 17:14 |
| mgolisch | kane1: thats used for wardriving/sniffing | 17:14 |
| mgolisch | kane1: thats mostlikely why it doesnt work | 17:15 |
| kane1 | oh i didn't know that | 17:15 |

| rainwalker | is it possible to specify different default printers when connected to different wireless networks? | 17:16 |
| linduxed | i get "problem with audio playback" from skype and i wonder if its pulseaudio again (which blocks sound cuz pidgin is on)? | 17:16 |
| mgolisch | kane1: yeah do sudo iwconfig interface mode managed | 17:16 |
| rainwalker | linduxed: pulseaudio should /allow/ sound from both, not block it | 17:16 |
| mgolisch | kane1: it should be back to the normal operation mode after that | 17:17 |
| kane1 | So this si the command sudo iwconfig interface mode managed | 17:17 |
| pjvandehaar | atha: if you had widgits i think you would probably know. | 17:17 |
| linduxed | rainwalker: well ive had blocked sound because of pulse before | 17:17 |
| mgolisch | kane1: replace interface with the actual interface name | 17:17 |
| carrie | If im taring a lot of stuff, can i start sending the file via ftp, even if it hasnt finished taring (itll finish taring long before the ftp stops sending) | 17:17 |

| pablo_o0o | hi, is there any way to change mounted drive names in GOME? for example a have partition (NTFS) mouted to /media/D and the drive name on desktop or in computer:/// is "Volume 80 GB", i want to rename it to just "D" or "Drive D" | 17:18 |
| linduxed | rainwalker: last time pulse couldnt handle pidgin and amarok simultaneously | 17:18 |
| kane1 | How i can do that | 17:18 |
| pablo_o0o | in GOME* | 17:18 |
| mgolisch | carrie: i dont think so | 17:18 |
| mgolisch | kane1: what? | 17:18 |
| deever | re | 17:18 |
| AmberWillow | pablo: make sure the folder you want exists and edit /etc/fstab.. find the old moundpoint and change it to the new one most probably | 17:18 |
| rainwalker | linduxed: hmm...are you using the default pulseaudio setup? I had to follow a guide on the forums before it worked properly for me | 17:18 |
| deever | which package do i have to install to run a NX server? | 17:19 |
| kane1 | How to change the interface to actual one | 17:19 |
| atha | how can i turn widgits off and panels? what are they? | 17:19 |
| Saladin | legend2440, yeah, I fixed it by adding a new user with the -m flag. Then added to the root group, and everything is now fine | 17:19 |
| pjvandehaar | atha: in sys>admin>appearance>desktop effects turn off effects | 17:19 |
| mgolisch | kane1: in the command replace interface with eth1 or whatever your wlan interface is named | 17:19 |
| pablo_o0o | yes it exists in fstab at its mounted in fstab to /media/D | 17:19 |
| atha | its done alredy | 17:19 |
| pjvandehaar | atha: and turn off compiz if you use it | 17:19 |
| legend2440 | Saladin: very good | 17:19 |
| kane1 | So what is the command to replace it | 17:19 |
| atha | i dont know what is compiz.. | 17:20 |
| pablo_o0o | i just wat to change display name of the drive | 17:20 |
| pjvandehaar | atha: then you dont have it | 17:20 |
| rainwalker | atha: compiz = desktop effects | 17:20 |
| mgolisch | kane1: in a terminal do sudo iwconfig, and note the name of the interface where it shows it has the wireless extension | 17:20 |
| linduxed | rainwalker: did that guide | 17:20 |
| pjvandehaar | atha: its advanced effects like mac has | 17:20 |
| kane1 | its wlan0 | 17:20 |
| atha | no i dont think i do | 17:20 |
| atha | ic | 17:20 |
| mgolisch | kane1: then type sudo iwconfig whatever_the_name_was mode managed | 17:20 |
| kane1 | oh thank you | 17:21 |
| Saladin | legend2440: At least now I'm ready to get set up. And the upgrade only took about a half hour. Would have been better is my hosting company didn't take 12 hours to reinstall 6.06 after I screwed it up yesterday | 17:21 |
| rainwalker | atha: you know you're running compiz if there are shadows around your windows | 17:21 |

| atha | ive given virtualbox 1024 ram if i give it more will it help to run ubuntu smoothly...? | 17:28 |
| mgolisch | maybe thats allready too much | 17:28 |
| pjvandehaar | atha: depending on how much you care about speed and how much you know about computers you could try installing xubuntu-desktop in synaptic | 17:29 |
| mgolisch | maybe start perfmon and look if its swaping much | 17:29 |
| mgolisch | actualy that might be the cause of it running that slow | 17:29 |
| AmberWillow | pablo: on your desktop, is that a symbolic link? | 17:29 |
| atha | ill give it a try at 512 | 17:29 |
| atha | and about xubntu i dont much only that is another version of ubuntu.. | 17:30 |
| atha | i think.. | 17:30 |
| pjvandehaar | it runs great with ubuntu | 17:30 |
| mgolisch | yeah its just ubuntu with xfce instead of gnome | 17:31 |
| mgolisch | its more lightweight | 17:31 |
| pjvandehaar | atha: i ditched it because of trouble with ff addons | 17:31 |

| Twile | I'll try again | 17:53 |
| schmackels | yeah, I must use the win32codec for mplayer to get audio to work. vlc and totem play the file perfectly, without sound. | 17:53 |
| soundray | Vi5in: really on startup, or when you login? | 17:53 |

| Vi5in | soundray: ahh ok.thanks! but basically you go put it in system prefs->session->startup programs? | 17:56 |
| kane | But my network interdace in wlan0 i think | 17:56 |
| soundray | Vi5in: that's where you add it to make it launch on login | 17:56 |

| lakis1982 | now i am with the old 2.6.24.18 | 17:58 |
| Dillizar | mandark: 8.04 | 17:59 |
| nmcbride | lakis1982: dos environment = command line or cli for short :D | 17:59 |

| mandark | i had the same problm | 17:59 |
| soundray | lakis1982: okay, something is missing from the new kernel that prevents X from starting. What video driver do you have? | 17:59 |
| lakis1982 | the problem is that wehen i select the kernel 2.6.24.19 it does not show graphic enviroment | 17:59 |

| geirha | lakis1982: how did you install the nvidia driver? | 18:00 |
| schmackels | jburd: the latest release | 18:00 |
| lakis1982 | it was installed automatically | 18:00 |
| jburd | Doesn't Ubuntu release every 6 months? | 18:00 |
| jburd | @ schmackels | 18:00 |
| mandark | dillizar; hardy is giving problems wid firefox..so me using epiphany | 18:00 |
| jburd | mandark: Try using Swiftweasel. | 18:00 |
| lakis1982 | i went to hardware drivers and i checked a box and i enabled the latest nvidia driver | 18:00 |
| schmackels | jburd: major releases 6 months or so, it just went from 8.04 to 8.04.1 so no biggie, eh? :) | 18:01 |
| soundray | lakis1982: okay, here's what to do: log in at the command line and do a 'sudo cp /etc/X11/xorg.conf /etc/X11/xorg.conf-backup' | 18:01 |
| mandark | jburd; is it better than epiphany | 18:01 |
| jburd | mandark: It's an optimized version of Firefox | 18:01 |
| soundray | lakis1982: when you've done that, 'sudo invoke-rc.d gdm start' | 18:01 |
| lakis1982 | should i type exatly what you wrote? | 18:01 |
| jburd | mandark: And it does not use your current Firefox profile, so there should be no collision. | 18:01 |
| soundray | lakis1982: everything between the quotes | 18:01 |
| lakis1982 | ok let me try | 18:01 |
| mandark | jburd; thanx buddy..i'll try it out | 18:02 |
| Dillizar | mandark: but some of the programs are set to use firefox and they cant work now and btw i cant remove firefox how can i fix my problem | 18:02 |
| jburd | Dillizar: what problem? | 18:02 |
| nmcbride | lakis1982: from the command if you do 'X -probeonly' and look for EE that will be your error. so you know exactly what is wrong. | 18:02 |
| lakis1982 | invoke-rc.d: unknown initscript, /etc/init.d/gdm not found | 18:02 |
| Dillizar | jburd: like i cant open amsn | 18:02 |
| mandark | dillizar; jburd has given me an advice 2 use swiftwease | 18:02 |
| geirha | soundray: lakis1982 specified kubuntu earlier | 18:03 |
| jburd | Dillizar: Does Pidgin not do what aMSN does for you? | 18:03 |
| lakis1982 | what you mean ? | 18:03 |
| lakis1982 | how to specify ? | 18:03 |
| soundray | geirha: ah, thanks | 18:03 |
| soundray | lakis1982: where are you right now? | 18:03 |
| jburd | Dillizar: And how does Firefox affect aMSN? | 18:03 |
| Dillizar | yes jburd | 18:03 |
| lakis1982 | i typed the two commands you wrote | 18:03 |
| === kb is now known as Guest29461 | ||
| nmcbride | lakis1982: kubuntu uses kde, he gave u a command to use if you were running gdm which is usually found with gnome | 18:04 |
| soundray | lakis1982: KDE with the old kernel? | 18:04 |
| lakis1982 | i did the first one | 18:04 |
| jburd | Dillizar: "yes"? | 18:04 |
| lakis1982 | and when i type the seond and gave me the error i wrote you | 18:04 |
| jburd | Dillizar: You'll need to be more specific than that. | 18:04 |
| Dillizar | lol | 18:04 |
| === macd_ is now known as macd | ||
| nmcbride | lakis1982: because ur not using gdm :D | 18:04 |
| Dillizar | jburd: like i cant use offline msg | 18:04 |
| jburd | Dillizar: I can use offline messages with Pidgin. I think the Pidgin plugin pack comes with that feature. | 18:04 |
| lakis1982 | now i am in with kubuntu 8.04 kde 3.5.9 | 18:04 |
| bry3n_ | #ubuntu-fr | 18:04 |
| soundray | lakis1982: never mind the second command. Try booting to the new kernel now. | 18:04 |
| jburd | I don't use MSN, so I cannot say anything about the MSN protocol. | 18:05 |
| bry3n_ | #ubuntu-fr | 18:05 |
| lakis1982 | should i restart the pc nopw ? | 18:05 |

| monostone | soundray: hmmm, so OSE has no USB support, not good | 18:16 |
| soundray | !virtualization | monostone | 18:17 |
| ubottu | monostone: There are several solutions for running other operating systems (or their programs) inside Ubuntu, while using the native CPU as much as possible: !kvm is the preferred approach in Ubuntu.

| evariste | How do I configure OpenSSH so that when somebody attempts to connect to my computer, it prompts to ask for username and passowrd. Because at the moment, if one types ssh my.ip, then it automatically asks for the password of my root account. | 18:20 |
| schmackels | thx for that tip | 18:20 |
| soundray | lakis1982: when you did the 'sudo mv /etc/X11/xorg.conf /etc/X11/xorg.conf-backup', did it give you an error message? | 18:21 |
| Gnea | evariste: that's just how ssh works. it assumes the username of the account in use. | 18:21 |
| lakis1982 | no | 18:21 |
| soundray | evariste: use 'ssh username@my.ip' | 18:22 |
| evariste | Hmm, but for example. My friend set up an SSH account on his computer for me, but it always prompts me for my username first. | 18:22 |
| === fizzik is now known as FiZZiK | ||
| soundray | lakis1982: did you install any other updates with adept? | 18:22 |
| Gnea | evariste: depends on the client you're using. putty will always ask for it. | 18:23 |
| FiZZiK | hmm ok guys i try to go to root using the command su in console but is there a default password i didn't set a password for it in installer, just a password for my current user | 18:23 |
| lakis1982 | no | 18:23 |
| soundray | dmi3on: has it ever worked? | 18:23 |
| lakis1982 | is there a ubuntu 8.04.1 kernel 2.4.26.19 and ubuntu 8.04 kernel 2.6.24.19 .. are there differences between the two ??? | 18:23 |
| atha | can i stop pidgin from logging fro example "... left the room" (quit..)" "entered the room" server messages..? | 18:23 |
| Pici | evariste: it will 'forward' the username of the current local user to the remote server and use that as the login name. So if you are sshing as root, it thinks you want to login as root on the foreign machine. | 18:23 |
| Gnea | lakis1982: no, just 8.04.1 | 18:23 |
| infinitycircuit | lakis1982, no they are the same | 18:23 |
| soundray | lakis1982: open adept and install all available updates. Then try booting to the new kernel again. | 18:23 |
| Pici | !root | FiZZiK | 18:24 |
| ubottu | FiZZiK: Do not try to guess the root password, that is impossible. Instead, realise the truth... there is no root password. Then you will see that it is 'sudo' that grants you access and not the root password. Look at https://help.ubuntu.com/community/RootSudo | 18:24 |
| FiZZiK | oh sorry lol | 18:24 |
| evariste | Thanks. | 18:24 |
| lakis1982 | what are the available updates? | 18:24 |

| FiZZiK | well i had typed a command Pici, that said i had to be root in order to use it | 18:24 |
| kane | Why is connection so slow on linux ubuntu? | 18:25 |
| soundray | lakis1982: adept should tell you. Alternatively, close adept and run on the command line: 'sudo apt-get update ; sudo apt-get dist-upgrade' | 18:25 |
| Gnea | Bob_Dole: edit your /boot/grub/menu.lst and put windows as the first os | 18:25 |
| Bob_Dole | There used to be a GUI for it :( | 18:25 |
| ph8 | Bob_Dole: it's a bit technical but there's things like the default boot partition, so if you check towards the bottom where it's like windows (hd1,0) - then set your default boot partition to that (it could be hd2,1 1,3 etc.) - you should be away | 18:25 |
| lakis1982 | ok i write now the command you gave me : sudo apt-get update ; sudo apt-get dist-upgrade | 18:25 |
| ph8 | make sure you know where your linux partition is though (e.g. hd0,0) in case you get into trouble | 18:25 |
| Gnea | there was? never seen/heard of it. | 18:25 |
| kane | Why is connection so slow on linux ubuntu? | 18:25 |
| bazhang | kane, its not | 18:26 |
| Gnea | !repeat | kane | 18:26 |
| ubottu | kane: Don't feel ignored and repeat your question quickly; if nobody knows your answer, nobody will answer you. You can search https://help.ubuntu.com or http://wiki.ubuntu.com while you wait. Also see !patience | 18:26 |
| Bob_Dole | Kane, your connection should be exactly the same | 18:26 |
| Gnea | kane: that's the third time i've had to remind you of that. | 18:26 |
| kane | its not | 18:26 |
| FiZZiK | kane: it is probablly because of a driver issue | 18:26 |
| Gnea | kane: once more and it won't be as pretty. | 18:26 |
| kane | sorry | 18:26 |
| lakis1982 | Calculating upgrade... Done | 18:26 |
| lakis1982 | 0 upgraded, 0 newly installed, 0 to remove and 0 not upgraded | 18:26 |
| kane | But its slow on ubuntu | 18:26 |
| Bob_Dole | Then don't use ubuntu. or get a better ethernet card. | 18:26 |
| FiZZiK | kane: probablly a driver conflict | 18:26 |
| bazhang | kane, then there is a configuration issue; it is not inherently slower | 18:26 |
| lakis1982 | so? | 18:26 |
| kane | So what i do to resolce | 18:27 |
| soundray | lakis1982: I don't know how to fix your problem | 18:27 |
| bazhang | kane, we need tons more info | 18:27 |
| lakis1982 | ok | 18:27 |
| kane | It worked fine before | 18:27 |

| lakis1982 | which one should i prefer? | 18:28 |
| ikonia | lakis1982: 2.6 | 18:28 |

| lakis1982 | 2.6 .. not 2.6.24.19 ? | 18:29 |

| ikonia | lakis1982: the latest ubuntu provides is the most stable | 18:30 |
| nmcbride | is there a ubuntu 8.04.1 kernel 2.6.24.18 and ubuntu 8.04 kernel 2.6.24.18 .. are there differences between the two ??? <--- both kernels are the same from what ur writing? | 18:31 |
| soundray | ikonia: X won't launch when lakis1982 boots to the latest kernel | 18:31 |

| parudus | i think pardus is the best distro | 18:43 |
| talcite | nmcbride: and if I write a custom bash_profile, will it overwrite the /etc/profile behaviour? | 18:43 |

| bazhang | parudus, then join their channel | 18:43 |
| anachoret | Gnea: if i nuke ~/.*, and reinstall ubuntu with a separate /home partition, do i get default ubuntu settings for gnome (for example) back, or .bashrc? | 18:43 |
| parudus | yes they have channel #pardus | 18:44 |
| parudus | try it | 18:44 |
| Gnea | anachoret: if you nuke your dotfiles, yes, they will be recreated from scratch | 18:44 |
| bazhang | that is offtopic here though parudus | 18:44 |

| nmcbride | talcite: you could put them in the /etc/profile if you wanted and the change would be system wide. | 18:49 |
| anachoret | Gnea: then when are the dotfiles recreated? i believe that when a new user is created, .profile for example is created for them. but if i delete my .profile and reinstall ubuntu with a /home partition using the same user name, when does that .profile get recreated? i thought it doesn't. | 18:49 |

| CURIOUS | hi | 19:00 |

| CURIOUS | سلام | 19:10 |
| kane | Do i do this on windows or linux | 19:10 |
| mlLK | rrmm, what are you trying to do? | 19:10 |

| leeping2008 | Hi there, I've been running Gutsy for a while, and there is some advice on the Net against upgrading to Hardy. Specifically, users are talking about random lockups... have these issues mostly been resolved? Anyone here hesitant to upgrade to Hardy, like myself?? | 19:26 |
| dmi3on | yes from another | 19:26 |
| node357 | porncake, you don't need compiz to run gnome | 19:26 |
| sudobash | I would just install clean | 19:27 |
| porncake | cool cos it keeps making errors | 19:27 |
| soundray | <ubottu>: get lost sudobash, you haven't even taken the garbage out yet. No help from me today! | 19:27 |

| soundray | monostone: xrandr depends on X, so it won't run as an init script. | 19:31 |

| bazhang | fizzik, sure | 19:32 |
| wolfwalker | Or gnomebaker | 19:32 |
| dmi3on | soundray, can you chack PM | 19:32 |
| Flannel | wolfwalker: sudo apt-get update && sudo apt-get dist-upgrade, if there are errors, it'll probably tell you how to fix them (dpkg reconfigure, etc) | 19:32 |
| Flannel | wolfwalker: or at least, it'll be more verbose | 19:32 |
| dmi3on | soundray, i dotn know why i am missing your question | 19:33 |
| cipher_nemo | Greetings. Anyone know where I can find the configuration file for the zd1211rw wireless driver in Ubuntu 8.04? | 19:33 |
| wolfwalker | Flannel thanks | 19:33 |
| fizzik | bazhang: were do i find k3b | 19:33 |
| bazhang | fizzik, that has tons of kde libs though; brasero, gnomebaker might suit you better | 19:33 |
| sudobash | cipher_nemo I would just find the XP driver with google and then use ndiswrapper to use the driver in windows | 19:33 |
| mlLK | rrmm, it does that for all dvds? | 19:33 |
| saxin | soundray: when I choose a driver and click OK nothing seems to happen | 19:34 |
| wolfwalker | Well it's running Flannel | 19:34 |
| fizzik | bazhang: all of them have to be installed correct? | 19:34 |
| wolfwalker | Had to manually run dpkg though | 19:34 |
| bazhang | fizzik, no just one | 19:34 |
| rrmm | mlLK: good idea, I am not really good at troublshooting right now | 19:34 |
| soundray | saxin: the setting activates when you log out and back in again. | 19:34 |
| mlLK | rrmm, ? | 19:34 |
| Kaushal | anyone here has used openvpn | 19:34 |
| saxin | soundray: just log out? I dont need to restart? | 19:34 |
| bazhang | fizzik, check in synaptic package manager and/or /msg ubottu burners | 19:34 |
| cipher_nemo | sudobash, I can't do it another way... I need to manually add an entry for a Z-net Wi-Fire device in there to associate that USB device with this driver | 19:35 |
| dmi3on | can some one help me with grub error 22 | 19:35 |
| wolfwalker | brasero, that's the one I couldn't think of! | 19:35 |
| fizzik | bazhang: thank you | 19:35 |
| soundray | saxin: not for these (you're right though, there are some drivers which have a kernel component, for those you'd have to reboot) | 19:35 |
| bazhang | np :) | 19:35 |

| leeping2008 | mlLK, ah that's a good idea :) But if the lockup is hardware related, I might not encounter the bugs! | 19:44 |

| Erupter | mmm | 19:45 |
| kaiwen | leeping2008, it certainly does, and if you happen to have no video input after boot, it's b/c of apci, so you ahve to disable it by f6 when ubuntu is loading | 19:45 |

| XGen | hi | 19:49 |
| jgoo | Hey, Firefox 3 - when you block a popup, I no longer get the 'show url' option, was this taken out in FF3, I am sure FF2 always gave me the option to let the blocked popup show. | 19:49 |
| kaiwen | aguitel, login option does NOT show login options. | 19:49 |
| jgoo | &$*$*&$*& flash ads. | 19:49 |
| charim1 | Need some help with the USB automount. I believe it is a HAL issue. It does not concern my fstab settings, as I have made sure the devices I have tried to mount are NOT in the fstab. The device is found when I plug it in, but does not mount. Double-clicking on it in Computer returns error "Unable to mount location:Can't mount file". gnome-mount --device sdd2 does work, as does sudo mount /dev/sdd2 /media/usb | 19:49 |
| Cheiron | Unknown command, try @list | 19:49 |
| mlLK | leeping2008, your welcome, good luck! | 19:49 |
| kaiwen | aguitel, i mean on kdm or gdm | 19:49 |
| chx | i had my Sierra 875 PCMCIA Aircard working with Gutsy -- it was very hard but I finally got it working -- the very same config on Hardy connects but after a short chat pppd drops the connection. :( Is there a company that will help me with issues like this? | 19:49 |
| aguitel | kaiwen, how do you enter to the desktop? | 19:49 |
| kaiwen | via gnome | 19:49 |

| kaiwen | aguitel, this is related to all sessions, not just kde | 19:54 |
| kaiwen | bobertdos, kde and kdm are all installed | 19:54 |
| Flannel | kaiwen: the sessions buttons should exist even before you installed kubuntu. On GDM its on the bottom left corner, on KDM... I think its right under the login. | 19:55 |
| aguitel | kaiwen, but your problem is in kde | 19:55 |
| kaiwen | bobertdos, kdm can load | 19:55 |
| kaiwen | Flannel, it doesn't exist. | 19:55 |
| sunru | i dunno vim is acting weird. | 19:55 |

| kaiwen | aguitel, i can login to gnome, b/c that's what hardy installed | 19:55 |
| charim1 | Have a problem with auto-mounting usb devices. I am pretty sure it is a HAL(not FSTAB) issue, any help? "Unable to mount location:Can't mount File" on dblclick. "Gnome-mount --device ..." and "sudo mount ... ..." work | 19:55 |
| Flannel | sunru: The default vim thats installed is "vim-tiny" which is weird. you need to install "vim" to get normal vim | 19:55 |
| sunru | Flannel: ahhhhhh | 19:55 |
| claes | where do I find the setting to view on an external monitor? | 19:56 |

| kaiwen | aguitel, this doesn't address my problem, it's about resolutions | 19:58 |
| aguitel | kaiwen, http://www.psychocats.net/ubuntu/kde | 19:58 |
| sudobash | dmi3on it's logged | 19:58 |
| mauricio | whats a good sound driver? | 19:58 |

| breakz | yo, Ive got Ubuntu server installed on my amd 1600+ XP box, and everytime the uptime passes 20 days / 30 days, it gets "kernel panic - Not syncing - fatal exception is interrupt", whats wrong and what can I do about it ? | 19:59 |
| bobertdos | wayneandleanne: Have you played around with ndisgtk/ndiswrapper yet? | 19:59 |
| kaiwen | aguitel, ok let me look thanks | 19:59 |
| sudobash | dmi3on have you install windows and want your grub menu back? | 19:59 |
| kaiwen | aguitel, ok i'll try it, thanks! | 20:00 |
| wayneandleanne | bobertdos: i've tryed to avoid ndiswraper/ndiskgtk so far, and to be honest i wouldnt know where to start, can you point me in the right direction? | 20:00 |
| monostone | with Sun proprietary VirtualBox i am now getting this error with USB: "Not permitted to open the USB device, check usbfs options." where can i find these usbfs options? | 20:00 |
| dmi3on | sudobash, no i have vista on one hard drive, i install hard drive 40Gb and install on it ubuntu now both cant load becaus grub gives error 22 | 20:00 |
| sudobash | yeah ok you need to download Super Grub Disk | 20:01 |
| bobertdos | wayneandleanne: ndisgtk is the graphical frontend for ndiswrapper. It would be much easier for you to use ndisgtk than nidiswrapper on its own. So first, find ndisgtk in Synaptic and install it. | 20:01 |
| sudobash | and burn it... it is an iso | 20:01 |
| G3NESIS | Hi, I'm trying to install Hardy Heron, I had an issue with the installation CD only going to busy box but "all_generic_ide" got me thru that. Now when I try to partition my computer locks at the first %5 Creating ext3 filesystem | 20:01 |
| wayneandleanne | bobertdos: i'll try that | 20:02 |
| bobertdos | wayneandleanne: After it's installed, you'll want to go get the latest Windows driver from Dell's site. | 20:02 |
| histo | G3NESIS: have you tried the alternate install cd? | 20:02 |
| sudobash | Super Grub Disk also does Lilo just go to the Advanced part of the menu and you can install either you like.... | 20:03 |
| wayneandleanne | bobertdos: thanks | 20:03 |

| jay_ | how do i change the background for the cube in compiz config? | 20:04 |
| histo | G3NESIS: that will get a you a text based installer. It usually helps with any issues you are having with the livecd installation. Helped on my box. | 20:04 |
| histo | hassu: check system > Administration > hardware | 20:04 |

I made a script to do it all which needs sudo priveleges and was wondering where do i put this script so it runs at bootup and i dont need to do it manually anymore | 20:31 |
| RoshanK | issyl0: edit ur grub boot menu i believe | 20:31 |
| Brucee | Dream-Ubu how do i run it? | 20:31 |
| integral_ | let me finish my explanation | 20:31 |
| issyl0 | RoshanK: Okay, how do I do that? | 20:31 |
| integral_ | so I chose that only partition | 20:31 |
| nashk | Hi, I went to download ubuntu for my dell intell server. I picked "64bit AMD and Intel computers | 20:32 |
| nashk | " | 20:32 |
| nashk | Option | 20:32 |
| kindofabuzz | justin__: with ndiswrapper? | 20:32 |
| nashk | But the file name has amd64 in it. | 20:32 |
| integral_ | I formatted it and the installation automatically copied some files after formatting | 20:32 |
| nashk | Any idea if this will work with intel? | 20:32 |
| justin__ | kindofabuzz, no, not using ndis | 20:32 |
| ndo | how can i find out why my gui is hangig? | 20:32 |
| integral_ | and the it reboots right? | 20:32 |
| Arnos | what command can I use to find if a machine is on my LAN? | 20:32 |
| === Timeless_ is now known as something | ||
| michael__ | does anyone know a apt-source for codeblocks ? | 20:32 |
| integral_ | and the next installation screen should come up normally | 20:32 |
| RoshanK | issyl0:http://www.howtogeek.com/howto/ubuntu/set-windows-as-default-os-when-dual-booting-ubuntu/ | 20:32 |
| ortsvorsteher | ndo: look at X11 log file | 20:32 |
| h3nr4 | brb.. let me try it out. | 20:33 |
| justin__ | Arnos, use nmap | 20:33 |
| integral_ | but in my case, the first blue installlation screen appeared again | 20:33 |
| issyl0 | RoshanK: Thank you. | 20:33 |
| kindofabuzz | justin__: i don't know if this will help but in this link there is a command so all your modules load at boot and in the right order. https://help.ubuntu.com/community/WifiDocs/Driver/bcm43xx/Feisty_No-Fluff | 20:33 |
| dmi3on | can some one help me with error 22, i can find how to fix it | 20:33 |
| RoshanK | issyl0: WAIT | 20:33 |
| ndo | where is it located? | 20:33 |
| integral_ | so it didn't boot properly | 20:33 |
| integral_ | so I went to the recovery terminal | 20:33 |
| RoshanK | issyl0: that guide is for setting windows default, so make sure u set it to whichever number ubuntu ids | 20:33 |
| Arnos | justin__: thanks | 20:33 |
| integral_ | and did fixmbr | 20:33 |
| issyl0 | RoshanK: Yeah, 'cause that's 'set windows as default'. Okay | 20:33 |
| justin__ | kindofabuzz, ok thanks, but i dont use the bcm chipset | 20:33 |
| ortsvorsteher | ndo: i mean in /var/log | 20:33 |
| MermaidMan | wats more stable reiserfs or jfs | 20:33 |
| issyl0 | RoshanK: Thank you. | 20:33 |
| integral_ | didn't' help me so I did fixboot c: | 20:33 |
| ndo | ok ty ill do | 20:34 |
| integral_ | and I deleted the c: partition and remade and installed windows | 20:34 |
| integral_ | and now my other two partitions are gone | 20:34 |
| justin__ | Arnos, you have to apt-get install nmap, then in a terminal do sudo nmap -sP 192.168.1.254/24 and that will tell you all the up and running machines on your local lan | 20:34 |
| ortsvorsteher | ndo: there must be Xorg.log | 20:34 |
| integral_ | what did I do wrong? | 20:35 |

| nashk | Does the ubuntu-8.04.1-server-amd64.iso support 64 bit intel ? | 20:35 |
| zcat[1] | integral_: 'gone' or just not abe to be booted? | 20:35 |
| bobertdos | integral_: So, you did a fresh install of Windows? | 20:35 |
| RoshanK | integral_: sorry im really not much of an expert on this. i recommend u ceck out super grub disk though, and see if it does anything, but since u said that you deleted the other partitions, its possible that u cant use them anymore. now ud probably have to remake new partitions | 20:35 |
| integral_ | I'm not sure zcat | 20:35 |
| integral_ | yes fresh install | 20:35 |
| integral_ | no I didn't delete my other partitions | 20:36 |

| bobertdos | integral_: zcat[1] and I agree. The important thing right now is to gather information. | 20:37 |
| RoshanK | integral_: please use pastebin | 20:37 |
| integral_ | sorry | 20:37 |
| zcat[1] | so there was just /dev/sda1 or where there more? | 20:38 |

| kevinO | saiki, if your looking for vmware server you get it right from vmware for free | 20:40 |
| ortsvorsteher | which one? Guest91412 | 20:40 |
| bobertdos | integral_: I'm afraid if fdisk says you only have one partition, you're out of luck. | 20:40 |
| sunnyraj10411 | how does one install VMware on Ubuntu? i want to know this too | 20:40 |
| zcat[1] | forget vmware; install virtualbox instead. It's better and it's in the repos | 20:40 |
| RoshanK | saiki: vmware server is in the repositories lemme se if i can find u a guide | 20:40 |

| integral_ | what should I have done? | 20:40 |
| zcat[1] | uh!? | 20:40 |
| integral_ | for my reference for the future | 20:40 |
| ortsvorsteher | ndo: try the Xorg.log | 20:40 |
| integral_ | like I said I only got one partition choice | 20:41 |

| ortsvorsteher | ndo: are you german? | 20:43 |
| ndo | russian | 20:43 |
| ndo | :) | 20:43 |
| zcat[1] | integral_: weird. XP usually shows all exisitng partitions, even the ones it doesn't recognise, and you have to explicitly delete them before it will reuse. | 20:43 |
| CHR15 | I really should start idling this channel, I always come in here | 20:43 |
| PokeDestiny | disculpen alguien aki habla español? | 20:43 |
| bobertdos | integral: I don't know. I usually approach it like this. Start with a clean table, no partitions at all. Make the Windows partition take up everything minus the space you want for Linux and its swap. | 20:43 |
| ndo | why?:) | 20:43 |
| integral_ | so what was wrong with it? | 20:43 |
| Grobvok | I don't think is shows ext3 partitions. | 20:43 |
| erlend | on a scale from 1 to 10, how hard, and how much hassle is it to install ubuntu on my x-box 360? | 20:43 |

| integral_ | I had vista before | 20:43 |

| CHR15 | Anyone know how to fix the "unmet dependences" error for the VirtualBox module? | 20:44 |
| bobertdos | PokeDestiny: Venga a #ubuntu-es | 20:44 |
| integral_ | RoshanK, usually we have to install previous versions first | 20:44 |
| G3NESIS | I'm currently installing Hardy using the Alt Install disk it says No Disk Drive detected. | 20:44 |
| integral_ | stupid windows | 20:44 |
| zcat[1] | integral_: best answer is what bob said.. install windows first, leave space free so you don't have to resize. After you install linux, make an image of the windows partition using partimage and NEVER reinstall windows any other way than restoring the image | 20:44 |
| zcat[1] | basically, NEVER trust windows. | 20:45 |
| RoshanK | integral_: exactly, and windows is like a previous version and its ignorant about other OSes | 20:45 |
| kindofabuzz | just never install windows | 20:45 |
| kindofabuzz | =) | 20:45 |
| integral_ | zcat[1], you mean use GHOST or something? | 20:45 |
| ortsvorsteher | ndo: did you search for X11 solutions? i didnt understand your exact problem | 20:45 |
| RoshanK | install order: XP > Vista > Ubuntu | 20:45 |
| CHR15 | Anyone know how to fix the "unmet dependences" error for the VirtualBox module? | 20:45 |
| zcat[1] | alternatively, so what I did (had to have MSIE for doing web design) .. install virtualbox-ose and then install XP inside that | 20:45 |
| kindofabuzz | meet the dependancies? | 20:45 |
| grimrider | haha | 20:46 |
| CHR15 | How? | 20:46 |
| kindofabuzz | install them | 20:46 |
| zcat[1] | *do | 20:46 |
| CHR15 | -.- | 20:46 |
| integral_ | if I use things like GHOST | 20:46 |
| RoshanK | zcat_: i did that but i cant game in a VM | 20:46 |
| integral_ | when I have windows and ubuntu multibooting | 20:46 |
| integral_ | and I'm in a situation where I have to reinstall windows but want to keep ubuntu | 20:46 |
| integral_ | all I have to do is restore the GHOST image? | 20:47 |
| ndo | ortsvorsteher: everytime i install virtual box i get hanging gui, first i tough i ran out of ram. cuz i was running two guetst at same time. but now after i reinstalled xfce instead of ubuntu to save up ram. after installation of virtualbox i get hanging ram even when i only start firefox or something like that. | 20:47 |
| zcat[1] | true. even pinball doesn't work properly, virtualbox doesn't pass the raw keyevents ;) | 20:47 |
| breakz | yo, Ive got Ubuntu server installed on my amd 1600+ XP box, and everytime the uptime passes 20 days / 30 days, it gets "kernel panic - Not syncing - fatal exception is interrupt", whats wrong and what can I do about it ? | 20:47 |
| CHR15 | kindofabuzz: http://pastebin.com/d43fb5046 | 20:47 |
| grimrider | CHR15: are the dependancies not in the repository? | 20:47 |
| RoshanK | integral_: i think that if u back up your /home u can keep settings, but you may have to reinstall both thanks to bill gates. | 20:47 |

| lokus | why would that be? | 20:47 |
| CHR15 | grimrider: Also no clue, idk where to find them | 20:47 |
| dacken | I just installed Ubuntu 8.04 on Microsoft Virtual PC 2007 ;) apart from a few minor problems it runs fine | 20:47 |
| integral_ | bobertdos, yeah? it works? | 20:48 |
| ortsvorsteher | ndo: did you find anything of errors in Xorg.0.log ? | 20:48 |
| RoshanK | integral_: i dont know much about GHOST so i guess u should ask someone else, sorry | 20:48 |
| grimrider | CHR15: wut kernel are you using? | 20:48 |
| CHR15 | grimrider: No idea | 20:48 |
| === something is now known as somethingelse | ||

| Grobvok | Miesco_: open a terminal and type echo $PATH | 20:49 |
| Miesco_ | How do I add home? | 20:50 |
| grimrider | CHR15: well im just taking a wild guess, but i think virtualbox needs kernel modules for 2.6.24-20, and ur running 2.6.24-19. i have no clue how to fix it but its a start | 20:50 |
| bobertdos | Miesco_: globally, it can be set in files like .bashrc | 20:50 |
| Miesco_ | :$HOME:$HOME/bin? | 20:50 |
| CHR15 | grimrider: oic, I updated today, but idk if it was a new kernal, I'll check | 20:50 |

| Trinithis | Should I install 32 or 64 bit ubuntu? | 20:51 |
| CHR15 | grimrider: The latest stable version of the Linux kernel is: 2.6.26.2 from: http://www.kernel.org/ | 20:51 |
| Miesco_ | K thanks | 20:51 |
| zcat[1] | integral_: partimage won't... follow the procedure.. first install Windows, and leave a space for Linux. Set up all the drivers, etc. Nothing for windows to screw up yet. Then install ubuntu and it will set up dual-boot for you. Then partimage save the windows partition.. so you have a copy of windows as it's installed right now in a big image file under Linux. | 20:51 |
| kenkku | what could I use to monitor which files are being loaded during gnome login? | 20:51 |
| kenkku | I want to monitor disk usage during login, I think it's slowing things down considerably | 20:52 |
| zcat[1] | .. then if future you use 'partimage' to restore windows. partimage will restore it exactly as it was, with all the drivers, etc. and it WON'T overwrite the mbr. and even if it did, it will be the GRUB mbr that was already installed when you took the image | 20:52 |
| integral_ | ok, I'll try using GHOST or something | 20:53 |
| Grobvok | Miesco_: in .bashrc enter export PATH=/usr/local/sbin:/usr/local/bin:/usr/sbin:/usr/bin:/sbin:/bin:/usr/games:/$HOME | 20:53 |
| zcat[1] | GHOST is non free software. partimage does the same job, but is free. | 20:53 |

| user1 | anybody ? | 21:18 |
| TiredWolf | gsd, that's different... when you *run* a program, you need the libraries it requires. when you *compile* a program, you need the *headers* for those libraries (i.e. the C, or whatever, sourcecode that contains instructions for the compiler on how to use the libraries) | 21:18 |
| TiredWolf | gsd, packages containing headers are usually named like the library packages, but with "-dev" appended | 21:18 |

| user1 | pls help me with the workspace | 21:18 |
| gsd | Very well. | 21:18 |
| TiredWolf | gsd, the dev package for ncurses would likely be libncurses5-dev, but search for it with "apt-cache search ncurses | grep -dev" | 21:19 |

| infinitycircuit | jburd, gnome is lying. i'm sorry if you only get 3.5 hours with a 12 cell | 21:41 |
| infinitycircuit | blarg, if you haven't installed any then you don't have any. | 21:41 |
| jburd | infinitycircuit: I'm wondering why | 21:41 |
| Arnos | Vegiemaster: Thanks for your help, I'll try and figure out somthing | 21:41 |
| infinitycircuit | i get 6 with an 8 cell | 21:41 |
| jburd | infinitycircuit: I should get more out of a 12-cell correct? | 21:41 |
| infinitycircuit | depends on what kind of laptop | 21:41 |
| jburd | wow | 21:41 |
| blarg | console is my fav. part of any *nix os. | 21:42 |
| jburd | It's an hp dv6000 series notebook | 21:42 |
| Kolie | Hey im trying to ssh into a box with a pubkey. On my main user it works. I have another user, with an identical key,, and it doesnt work. | 21:42 |
| jburd | are there tools to determine how many cells a battery has? | 21:42 |
| infinitycircuit | jburd, i know someone who has that it is a massive power hog. you won't get much more than that | 21:42 |
| jburd | show detailed battery information so I can check whether I've been duped | 21:42 |
| jburd | infinitycircuit: Ah. | 21:42 |
| jburd | infinitycircuit: Probably the nvidia graphics card in it? | 21:43 |
| saiki | vmware is spitting errors at me, and I have everything supposedly installed | 21:43 |
| saiki | !paste | 21:43 |
| ubottu | pastebin is a service to post multiple-lined texts so you don't flood the channel. The Ubuntu pastebin is at http://paste.ubuntu.com (make sure you give us the URL for your paste - see also the channel topic) | 21:43 |
| jburd | infinitycircuit: How much does that someone get out of it? | 21:43 |
| infinitycircuit | jburd, cat /sys/class/power_supply/BAT0/uevent will give you all the information you need, if you can figure it out :) | 21:43 |
| saiki | http://paste.ubuntu.com/35663/ | 21:44 |
| blarg | where can i setup tty1's? | 21:44 |
| Flannel | blarg: ps aux | grep getty | 21:44 |
| jburd | infinitycircuit: Gnome power manager shows me the same information | 21:44 |
| Flannel | blarg: Do you see a few of them? | 21:44 |
| saiki | vmware is spitting errors at me, and I have everything supposedly installed: http://paste.ubuntu.com/35663/ | 21:45 |
| blarg | flannel yes i do | 21:45 |
| infinitycircuit | saiki, i take it you have gcc-4.2 installed then? | 21:45 |
| blarg | 6. | 21:45 |
| jpds | blarg: in /etc/event.d/ | 21:45 |
| Flannel | blarg: Then they're already running. | 21:45 |
| jburd | infinitycircuit: How does one prolong battery life? | 21:45 |
| dmi3on | Flannel, i cant find what i am doing wrong i fallow all steps like they are on the site | 21:46 |
| infinitycircuit | jburd, follow powertop's instructions and configure laptop-mode in /etc/laptop-mode | 21:46 |
| blarg | yes jpds? | 21:46 |
| dmi3on | Flannel, pls very plss helpp | 21:46 |
| jburd | infinitycircuit: Does running the system on AC power most of the time affect the battery? | 21:46 |
| jpds | blarg: Look at the tty* files there. | 21:46 |
| bastid_raZor | saiki; try sudo apt-get build-dep libcairo2-dev ..that may install the things missing | 21:46 |
| frostburn | jburd, it depends on the model and type of batter | 21:46 |
| infinitycircuit | jburd, li-ion batteries lose capacity due to heat. | 21:46 |
| blarg | jpds - ok i am running cat tty1 right now | 21:46 |
| jburd | Hmm. I see | 21:46 |
| infinitycircuit | i have a 4 year old 8 cell that is down to 75% of original capacity | 21:47 |
| infinitycircuit | but i also have a 2 year old 6 cell with 45% | 21:47 |
| infinitycircuit | it depends on the brand and kind of laptop | 21:47 |
| jburd | Mine is a power hog. That I do know. | 21:47 |
| blarg | jpds what should i see that could be preventing me from going to a real console? | 21:47 |
| jpds | blarg: GDM? | 21:47 |
| blarg | would you like me to dcc you the file? | 21:47 |
| jpds | blarg: If you want a tty, do: "sudo /etc/init.d/gdm stop" and press: Alt-F1. | 21:48 |
| blarg | i see nothing that says gdm | 21:48 |
| SherlawkDragon | hey, I'm trying to change a file in firefox, which is a restricted folder, how do I copy a file over another as root? | 21:48 |
| SherlawkDragon | or some way to do that? | 21:48 |
| jpds | blarg: And do: sudo /etc/init.d/gdm start if you want GNOME back. | 21:48 |
| zombieball | SherlawkDragon: just use cp? | 21:48 |
| mo0n_sniper | hi | 21:48 |
| bastid_raZor | SherlawkDragon; sudo cp | 21:48 |
| jburd | heh. Two different battery time values from the same gnome battery applet program. | 21:49 |
| zombieball | yeah sudo cp :P | 21:49 |
| SherlawkDragon | and then the source and destination, in that order, right? | 21:49 |
| blarg | thank you for the help jpds., it says operating not permitted | 21:49 |
| jburd | "1 hour and 59 minutes" and "1 hour and 10 minutes" | 21:49 |
| SherlawkDragon | ok, not used to linux command line yet... | 21:49 |
| jpds | blarg: Err, never heard of that before. | 21:49 |
| SherlawkDragon | thanks... | 21:49 |
| jpds | blarg: You sure you're doing it as root/sudo? | 21:49 |
| mo0n_sniper | i have installed ubuntu from usb stick and now when i plug in an usb stick it says :"Invalid mount option when attempting to mount the volume ' disk '" | 21:50 |
| blarg | jpds no im not doing it as root | 21:51 |
| blarg | when i type su | 21:51 |
| blarg | to try to become root it will not let me | 21:51 |
| jpds | !sudo | blarg | 21:52 |
| infinitycircuit | blarg, use sudo -i instead | 21:52 |
| ubottu | blarg: 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) | 21:52 |
| ompaul | !sudoroot | blarg | 21:52 |

| chao1 | I was reading on the wubi site that to install a different version of ubuntu all you have to do is download that version into the same directory as the wubi installer. My question is does it look for anything specific or just a .iso? | 21:53 |

| tuedel | hi! how can i get gnome-session-manager to log what it's doing? when i log into gnome i get that "your session only lasted less than 10 seconds" message, and as soon as i click ok, my xserver crashes. as i couldn't find anything helpful in the log files, i'd like to find out what gnome-session-manager is doing at that time | 22:03 |
| Jordan_U | benkant: What program are you trying to debug? | 22:03 |
| ikonia | tuedel: look at x log, gdm log and syslog | 22:04 |
| dee-line | .info | 22:04 |
| ikonia | tuedel: check your home dir has space | 22:04 |
| NekoCodi | Alright after I installed some drivers, my S-VIDEO out stopped working like it did before. So my problem is getting my S-VIDEO out to work. Could someone point me to a solution to get my display working right again? I can't seem to get it to change any settings back towards where it was before. | 22:04 |
| Hurup | Any one there can help me with som Postfix issues | 22:04 |
| bastid_raZor | tuedel; look in ~/.xsession-errors and /var/log/ | 22:04 |
| ikonia | NekoCodi: what drivers | 22:04 |
| Megaqwerty | mo0n_sniper: do you know what your drive is assigned when you plug it in? (i.e. /dev/sdc) | 22:04 |
| ikonia | NekoCodi: drivers should already be in ther kernel | 22:04 |
| mo0n_sniper | /dev/sdb | 22:04 |
| saiki | bastid_raZor: still gives the same error though | 22:05 |
| NekoCodi | ikonia: Drivers from the intel website, I was attempting to get a game working that wasn't working properly with the native drivers. So go figure I screw more things up by installing than fix. | 22:05 |
| raboof | i have a dell latitude d810. X works fine with the ati driver, but for compiz eyecandy I need fglrx, right? | 22:05 |
| ikonia | NekoCodi: well that doesn't seem like a good thing to do, considerin the Intel and I810 drivers support pretty much every intel card | 22:05 |
| Megaqwerty | mo0n_sniper: that might be your problem. Your fstab is set to make /dev/sdb1 mount as if it was a cdrom drive | 22:05 |
| mo0n_sniper | raboof what video card do you have? | 22:05 |
| Sonderblade | there is something wrong with the 2.6.24 initramfs image, how do i debug it? | 22:05 |

| benkant | Jordan_U: my own program... it's got a little bit of QT and a whole lot of OpenGL | 22:06 |
| raboof | when I select fglrx as a driver, X won't start anymore: the backlight will slowly flash on and off a few times, but the screen remains blank | 22:06 |
| saiki | bastid_raZor: already did | 22:06 |
| Flannel | saiki: install build-essential | 22:06 |

| dmi3on | Flannel, i am realy have a problem | 22:06 |
| Jordan_U | benkant: Ok, adding -g to gcc should do it, what problem are you having? | 22:06 |
| Megaqwerty | mo0n_sniper: try changing it to this: http://pastebin.com/m3f6a245c | 22:07 |
| NekoCodi | ikonia: using a .deb, I uninstalled the package it installed, but that didin't do much, tried resetting my xorg confg files, that didn't work. | 22:07 |
| mo0n_sniper | raboof i don't know if x600 has open source support | 22:07 |
| ikonia | NekoCodi: depends how that overwrote/if it ovewrote the existing drivers | 22:07 |
| ikonia | NekoCodi: purge the deb file, then re-install the xorg-intel package | 22:07 |
| Megaqwerty | mo0n_sniper: if it doesn't work, try rebooting, and then try again. if it still works, restore it to the way it was, and I'm out of ideas | 22:07 |
| mo0n_sniper | Megaqwerty, all the file? | 22:07 |
| Flannel | dmi3on: Alright, pastebin the output of "sudo fdisk -l" and then summarize what you did for those commands (root (hdX,Y), and setup (hdX)) what were the variables | 22:07 |
| NekoCodi | ikonia: Purge? how do I preform that action? | 22:07 |
| benkant | Jordan_U: to be perfectly honest... it's a problem with the fact that i never did computer science at school- i did film and philosophy. and i | 22:07 |
| benkant | m trying my best to make this PHYSICS WORK! :P | 22:08 |

| benkant | sorry Jordan_U | 22:08 |
| dmi3on | Flannel, thx | 22:08 |
| ikonia | NekoCodi: apt-get --purge, or the dpkg -r (I think it' -r check) | 22:08 |
| Megaqwerty | mo0n_sniper: you don't need to change the whole thing, just click "View diff" to see what I changed | 22:08 |
| NekoCodi | ikonia: if "Complete removal" is the way to do it, I already did that,s o I'll try reinstalling xorg-intel | 22:08 |

| freeflowcauvery | because the "Last Known Good Configuration" allows you to return safely to a point before venturing into foolish tinkering | 22:12 |

| cemunal | hi | 22:14 |
| dmi3on | Flannel, 7 | 22:14 |
| Blacklight | soundray he is probably looking for internet explorer... | 22:14 |
| Flannel | dmi3on: alright, well, hd0,5 doesn't exist, so that's one reason you're having issues. | 22:14 |
| Flannel | dmi3on: 7.04 or 7.10? | 22:14 |
| soundray | Manda_Chuva: this channel is not for surveys | 22:14 |
| verynew | how to change default screen resolution/login screen resolution? | 22:14 |
| NathanHelp | somehow i deleted it, so i went to my windows partition and d/l firefox for linux the newest release, but i can't figure out how to install it it says i need a library and i dont know how to get this library | 22:14 |
| soundray | verynew: 'gksudo displayconfig-gtk' | 22:14 |
| dmi3on | Flannel, 7.10 | 22:14 |
| ikonia | NathanHelp: how did you delete it | 22:14 |
| ikonia | NathanHelp: do you not have the icon on the top of your menu bar ? | 22:14 |
| Megaqwerty | NathanHelp: what library? | 22:14 |
| Manda_Chuva | soundray: ok :/ | 22:15 |
| Blacklight | NathanHelp, firefox comes with ubuntu as its default... use that first. | 22:15 |
| ikonia | NathanHelp: can you not get to t from application -> internet > firefox | 22:15 |
| Flannel | dmi3on: Alright. So, Which of these partitions are you trying to boot to? hdb6? | 22:15 |
| NathanHelp | GTK+ 2.10 | 22:15 |
| soundray | NathanHelp: just do a 'sudo apt-get install firefox' | 22:15 |
| Jordan_U | NathanHelp: Press alt+F2 and run "firefox", does it open? | 22:15 |
| === adante_ is now known as adante | ||
| NathanHelp | no it isnt in the list anymore | 22:15 |
| dmi3on | Flannel, i dont know wich one i should :( | 22:15 |
| NathanHelp | There is no default action associated with this location. | 22:15 |
| NathanHelp | it gave me that | 22:15 |
| Flannel | dmi3on: Well, there | 22:15 |
| Blacklight | NathanHelp, which version of ubuntu are you using anyway? | 22:15 |
| dmi3on | Flannel, i guess one with ubuntu | 22:15 |
| NathanHelp | how do i check? | 22:15 |
| Megaqwerty | NathanHelp: And you can't install it from Add/Remove programs? | 22:15 |
| soundray | NathanHelp: open a terminal (Applications-Accessories-Terminal) and enter the string above. It will ask for your user password | 22:16 |
| NathanHelp | it's an older version | 22:16 |
| adityag | how many characters can one line take in gedit ? | 22:16 |
| ryanakca | Megaqwerty: thanks | 22:16 |
| Flannel | dmi3on: There looks to be only one Linux one, so that's the one we're looking to boot. Is there a reason all your drives exist on an extended partition on hdb? | 22:16 |
| NathanHelp | ok hang on lemme find that | 22:16 |
| Megaqwerty | ryanakca: no problem | 22:16 |
| Blacklight | Megaqwerty, its already there... | 22:16 |
| saiki | bastid_raZor: it wasn't in the directions, but after lol | 22:16 |
| dmi3on | no, i dont know why it happend | 22:16 |
| Megaqwerty | Blacklight: what's already there? | 22:16 |
| NathanHelp | how do i open a terminal? im sorry im really a noob | 22:17 |
| Blacklight | firefox. | 22:17 |
| soundray | NathanHelp: open a terminal (Applications-Accessories-Terminal) and enter the string above. It will ask for your user password | 22:17 |
| pjvandehaar | or alt-f2 | 22:17 |
| Flannel | dmi3on: Alright, well, if/when you reinstall, you'll probably want to make those primary drives. Anyway, hdb6 is what we're trying to boot, and depending on your BIOS, it'll eiher be hd0,5 or hd2,5. Seeing that 0,5 didn't work, lets try hd2,5 | 22:17 |
| Blacklight | yah alt-f2 to run stuff. | 22:18 |
| adityag | how many characters can one line take in gedit ? because i cant open a file with more than 20000 characters in the 1st line. | 22:18 |
| NathanHelp | ok i have a terminal | 22:18 |
| dmi3on | ook | 22:18 |
| verynew | ok, by <gksudo displayconfig-gtk> i can change resolution, but no default nor login screen | 22:18 |
| Blacklight | NathanHelp, sudo apt-get install firefox | 22:18 |
| soundray | NathanHelp: enter 'sudo apt-get --reinstall install firefox' (everything between the quotes) | 22:18 |
| saiki | VMware doesn't work under Vista :@ | 22:18 |
| infinitycircuit | adityag, try vim | 22:18 |
| soundray | saiki: it does in my experience | 22:19 |
| NathanHelp | it's asking for the cd and i dont have it | 22:19 |
| adityag | infinitycircuit: whats that? | 22:19 |
| saiki | soundray: Vista 64 bit? | 22:19 |
| NathanHelp | Ubuntu 5.10 _Breezy Badger_ - Release i386 (2 | 22:19 |

| soundray | NathanHelp: that's ancient | 22:19 |
| infinitycircuit | adityag, a console editor. if you don't know what it is you won't be able to use it | 22:19 |
| Rezagrats | I need to remove "Ubuntu 8.04.1, kernel 2.6.24-19-rt AND Ubuntu 8.04.1, kernel 2.6.24-19-rt (recovery mode)" from my boot menu do i just deletes these lines in /boot/grub/menu.lst (along with it's params) ? | 22:19 |
| NathanHelp | yea i know lol | 22:19 |
| dmi3on | Flannel, http://paste.ubuntu.com/35673 | 22:19 |
| dmi3on | like this | 22:19 |
| soundray | NathanHelp: it's past the end of life. It's not even worth looking at this any more | 22:19 |
| NathanHelp | i have no cd-rs to d/l and burn the new one, and i cant figure out how to update | 22:19 |
| Megaqwerty | NathanHelp: type in sudo nano /etc/apt/sources.list | 22:19 |
| soundray | NathanHelp: you can't update breezy | 22:19 |
| histo | Also antoher question how does my nvidia 7600gs (AGP) get better fps in glxgears then my 8400gs (PCI-e)? The box that the 8400gs is on is a dual xeon 3.2ghz running 64bit. And the 7600 is on a 3.0ghz p4 with ht | 22:20 |
| Sonderblade | Rezagrats: no, sudo apt-get remove linux-image-2.6.24... | 22:20 |
| infinitycircuit | NathanHelp, you can install ubuntu without a cd | 22:20 |
| histo | ? | 22:20 |
| NathanHelp | how? i can d/l it in windows | 22:20 |
| soundray | NathanHelp: forget it, buy a CD-R, go to a library or a friend, download and burn Hardy Heron 8.04 | 22:20 |
| Megaqwerty | NathanHelp: once you're there, put a "#" in front of the line that starts with "deb cdrom" | 22:20 |
| frostburn | NathanHelp, soundray or get a free cd off of the ubuntu site | 22:20 |
| Rezagrats | Sonderblade, tbh, idk where i got it. it appeared there after i got something for VB-OSE | 22:20 |
| Blacklight | Rezagrats, or use synaptic... search for kernel. | 22:20 |
| Megaqwerty | NathanHelp: (without the quotes) | 22:21 |
| NathanHelp | ok let me catch up | 22:21 |
| pjvandehaar | I have the same problem as rezagrats. its not a problem, really, but 4 different linux kernals show up in grub | 22:21 |
| soundray | Megaqwerty: you're not doing NathanHelp a favour | 22:21 |
| alx__ | hola | 22:21 |
| NekoCodi | ikonia: No dice, display won't detect the display driver at all. So it's defaulting and I can't get anything but a primary monitor at a set resolution and refresh rate to work. | 22:21 |
| Megaqwerty | soundray: it does fix his problem though | 22:21 |
| Megaqwerty | soundray: instead of making him reinstall his whole system | 22:21 |
| Rezagrats | Pjvandehaar, i just need to move Ubuntu(regular) to the top of the menu, can i just move the text in the /boot/grub/menu.lst ? | 22:21 |
| Blacklight | Megaqwerty, his problem is an old OS,, | 22:21 |
| histo | Also antoher question how does my nvidia 7600gs (AGP) get better fps in glxgears then my 8400gs (PCI-e)? The box that the 8400gs is on is a dual xeon 3.2ghz running 64bit. And the 7600 is on a 3.0ghz p4 with ht? | 22:22 |
| soundray | Megaqwerty: look, he has an installation with known security holes that CAN NOT be fixed | 22:22 |
| === nathan__ is now known as NathanHelp | ||
| NathanHelp | sorry | 22:22 |
| Blacklight | Megaqwerty, not a missing cd... | 22:22 |
| alx__ | hello | 22:22 |
| histo | WHoops sry repasted same channel again two quickly | 22:22 |
| alx__ | you are gay | 22:22 |
| NathanHelp | someone kick my ghost please | 22:22 |
| dmi3on | Flannel, http://paste.ubuntu.com/35673 like this didnt work :( | 22:22 |
| NathanHelp | nvm | 22:22 |
| Megaqwerty | soundray: true. | 22:22 |
| histo | NathanHelp: can't nickserv take care of it. | 22:22 |
| pjvandehaar | rezagrats: i really am not sure. if theres nothing else in the list that looks important then that might work. | 22:22 |
| NathanHelp | it did | 22:22 |
| Sonderblade | Rezagrats: you should (almost) never have to edit menu.lst manually | 22:22 |
| NathanHelp | so i should really just give this up? | 22:22 |
| soundray | alx__: five percent of us on average. Please go to #ubuntu-offtopic to discuss this, though | 22:22 |
| Flannel | dmi3on: No, we're not editing our menu.lst at all. Our problem is we're not getting *to* the menu.lst, so this is different settings from the Tutorial on that wiki page | 22:23 |
| soundray | NathanHelp: absolutely | 22:23 |
| Blacklight | NathanHelp, no you just need to upgrade your installation. | 22:23 |
| NathanHelp | how can i delete this install? | 22:23 |
| soundray | NathanHelp: overwrite it with the new installation | 22:23 |
| NathanHelp | i don't know how to upgrade, im new to linux, it's something i really want to learn though, im well versed computers though | 22:23 |
| dmi3on | Flannel, is it very bad that i edit menu.lst ? | 22:23 |
| soundray | Blacklight: breezy can not be upgraded | 22:23 |
| Swian | anyone know how to fix this: tmp/virtualbox_1.6.4-33808_Ubuntu_hardy_i386-2.deb could not be opened, because the associated helper application does not exist. Change the association in your preferences. | 22:24 |
| soundray | NathanHelp: forget it, you've been told wrong. Do a fresh installation with a supported version | 22:24 |
| pjvandehaar | nathanhelp:sys>admin>update | 22:24 |
| soundray | pjvandehaar: NO | 22:24 |
| Flannel | dmi3on: editing menu.lst doesn't do anything at the moment. I didn't actually look to see what you edited, so I dont know. | 22:24 |
| adityag | infinitycircuit: sudo get-apt vim ? | 22:24 |
| Blacklight | soundray, I did a long time ago, Im sorry Im not using current information. | 22:24 |
| infinitycircuit | adityag, nevermind. | 22:24 |
| Pirate_Hunter | isnt there an app that allows music streaming on websites that require wmp? | 22:24 |
| dmi3on | Flannel, ok what i have to edit ? | 22:24 |
| infinitycircuit | if you don't know how to use vim/never heard of it it is NOT worth the trouble to learn haha | 22:24 |
| NathanHelp | there's no way I can just delet this install completly? | 22:25 |
| Flannel | dmi3on: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/RecoveringUbuntuAfterInstallingWindows follow that tutorial, try hd2,5 | 22:25 |
| benkant | if you don't want to learn vim, pico is probably a good replacement | 22:25 |
| Rezagrats | Thanks guys, ive removed the linux-images and now they are gone from the menu.lst file | 22:25 |
| adityag | infinitycircuit: sudo get-apt vim......let me try | 22:25 |
| infinitycircuit | adityag, it is already installed | 22:25 |
| dmi3on | Flannel, sudo grub , find /boot/grub/stage1 , root (hd0,5), setup (hd0) , quite do i have to do this instead hd0,5 use hd2,5 ? | 22:25 |
| soundray | NathanHelp: yes, it will happen automatically when you do a fresh installation | 22:25 |
| bastid_raZor | NathanHelp; installing a newer version will delete it. | 22:25 |
| infinitycircuit | and you would use sudo apt-get install vim | 22:25 |
| Swian | can't install new VirtualBox and old one give an error | 22:25 |
| infinitycircuit | just type "vim" in a console | 22:25 |
| dmi3on | Flannel, ok | 22:25 |
| NathanHelp | but i can't just delete it until i get a new disc, for the hd space? | 22:25 |
| adityag | infinitycircuit: what about GUI ? | 22:26 |
| benkant | it's funny how ubuntu comes with such an old version of VI | 22:26 |
| NathanHelp | the grub loader is my loader | 22:26 |
| Flannel | infinitycircuit: the vim thats already installed isn't really vim. | 22:26 |
| benkant | should be VIM | 22:26 |
| soundray | NathanHelp: do you have Windows on it? | 22:26 |
| NathanHelp | yes | 22:26 |
| NathanHelp | but it wont see linux | 22:26 |
| Flannel | benkant: It comes with vim-tiny, which is completely horrible. | 22:26 |
| NathanHelp | linux is invisible to my windows os | 22:26 |
| infinitycircuit | Flannel, it is vim-tiny, which is more like vim than elvis (slackware) or nvi | 22:26 |
| Blacklight | NathanHelp, windows has serious interpersonal issues and refuses to see others like itself. | 22:26 |
| benkant | Flannel: it is terribly horrible! | 22:26 |
| soundray | NathanHelp: if you delete the linux partition now. you won't be able to boot windows any more, because grub needs that partition | 22:27 |
| NathanHelp | and i can't delete the partition because of the grubloader | 22:27 |
| infinitycircuit | Flannel, what's so bad about vim-tiny? | 22:27 |
| benkant | ubuntu should ship with vim not vim-tiny | 22:27 |
| NathanHelp | right i understand that | 22:27 |
| bastid_raZor | NathanHelp; then what does it matter if it is there or not.. you're not going to be able to use it till you install a newer version of ubuntu.. | 22:27 |
| saiki | I have a vmware question: Can you use 2 wifi devices at the same time? | 22:27 |
| Flannel | benkant: vim is a lot bigger than vim-tiny, most people don't need it anyway (nano) | 22:27 |
| Flannel | infinitycircuit: it has really poor mode support, and most people have trouble with the arrow keys | 22:27 |
| dmi3on | Flannel, when i try hd2,5 splits error 22 | 22:27 |
| soundray | NathanHelp: if you have a Windows boot CD, you can replace grub with the Windows bootloader. Then you can reformat the linux partition to something that Windows sees. | 22:28 |
| NathanHelp | so there is now way i can d/l the new version in windows, and install from the .iso file? | 22:28 |
| Flannel | dmi3on: You're getting error 22 when doing the howto? | 22:28 |
| benkant | Flannel: don't you remember back in the day... the reason why we chose vi over emacs? vi was on everything! | 22:28 |
| dmi3on | i dont know that what i get | 22:28 |
| saiki | NathanHelp: you can vmware it | 22:28 |
| mlester | us there a networking issues irc chatroom | 22:28 |
| soundray | NathanHelp: it's possible, but not straightforward | 22:28 |
| Blacklight | NathanHelp, sure you can. | 22:28 |
| benkant | vi just works on everything | 22:28 |
| Lion-O | hey | 22:28 |
| bizinichi | hi | 22:28 |
| vbman11_ | does anyone know of a Linux "equivalent" of trailrunner(http://trailrunnerx.com/) | 22:28 |
| infinitycircuit | Flannel, true enough. but it still has the stuff you need if you come from a vi background | 22:28 |
| benkant | every machine should ship with the best VI available | 22:28 |
| NathanHelp | would it be too complicated for me being fresh to linux | 22:28 |
| soundray | NathanHelp: easiest might be to go for a wubi installation | 22:29 |
| NathanHelp | wubi? | 22:29 |
| infinitycircuit | benkant, it's not worth 25mb on most installs | 22:29 |
| Flannel | benkant: No, it really shouldn't. nano suffices when people have to edit something in the CLI | 22:29 |
| dmi3on | grub> root (hd2,5) error 22: No such parttion | 22:29 |
| soundray | NathanHelp: but again, you would need to burn a CD | 22:29 |
| infinitycircuit | for a full vim | 22:29 |
| Blacklight | benkant, I still have not found a use for VIM. | 22:29 |
| saiki | wubi allows ubuntu install in Windows | 22:29 |
| infinitycircuit | 8.0 alpha is in debian experimental though | 22:29 |
| NathanHelp | i just have to get some, i'm going to pick some up after work monday | 22:29 |
| Flannel | dmi3on: Alright. Try hd0,5 do you still get the error? | 22:29 |
| saiki | soundray: wrong | 22:29 |
| dmi3on | Flannel, grub> root (hd2,5). splits: error 22: No such parttion | 22:29 |
| NathanHelp | i was just wanting to go linux stand alone | 22:29 |
| soundray | NathanHelp: have you got a USB storage device? Hard disk drive or flash memory? | 22:29 |
| benkant | vim is pretty much the best unix editor around!@ | 22:30 |
| NathanHelp | i have two hard drives | 22:30 |
| dmi3on | Flannel, no | 22:30 |
| Flannel | benkant: Please take it to #ubuntu-offtopic | 22:30 |
| saiki | soundray: you can mount the CD in Windows using free virtual drives to install on wubi | 22:30 |
| soundray | saiki: what I said is correct in the context | 22:30 |
| bizinichi | private | 22:30 |
| dmi3on | Flannel, i get back to grub> | 22:30 |
| Flannel | dmi3on: alright, then continue | 22:30 |

| soundray | NathanHelp: you won't get many unbiased answers here | 22:32 |
| NathanHelp | so ubuntu is really the way to go | 22:32 |
| Pirate_Hunter | isnt there an app that allows music streaming on websites that require wmp? | 22:32 |
| infinitycircuit | i would say debian is superior because of stricter adherence to debian policy but the better documentation/support for ubuntu is a big plus | 22:32 |
| saiki | NathanHelp: MAYBE fedora, but I don't touch fedora | 22:32 |
| ortsvorsteher | try it, try another ones.... you will see | 22:32 |

| saiki | fizzik: you will need the windows CD to fix mbr, or you could try sotring wiht a grub disc | 22:38 |
| soundray | deepfriedsquirre: you have a dualboot Ubuntu/OpenSUSE installation? | 22:38 |
| fizzik | saiki: alright thanks | 22:38 |
| Flannel | fizzik: Or you can keep a small /boot partition, or use something like Smart boot Manager | 22:38 |
| dmi3on | Flannel, its wait like 1 30 sec and after only boots grub, if i boot from vista drive it boots right the way grub | 22:38 |
| saiki | np | 22:38 |
| Flannel | fizzik: SBM might be your easiest way if you don't have a windows CD (or some other method of rewriting the windows MBR) | 22:38 |
| fizzik | alright flannel thank-you | 22:39 |
| dmi3on | Flannel, and after fallow error 22 | 22:39 |
| dmi3on | Flannel, i am in big truble ? | 22:39 |
| Flannel | dmi3on: Wait, it boots to the grub menu? | 22:39 |
| fizzik | has anyone played counter-strike and steam in wine on ubuntu? | 22:39 |
| dmi3on | Flannel, no only tu error 22 | 22:39 |
| saiki | Flannel: a GRUB Cd would work | 22:40 |
| Flannel | dmi3on: Right, then you need to run the wiki tutorial again, and use a different setup harddrve (root is the same, setup is different) | 22:40 |
| dmi3on | Flannel, GRUB Loading stage1.5. | 22:40 |
| dmi3on | GRUB loading, please wait... | 22:40 |
| dmi3on | Error 22 | 22:40 |
| dmi3on | like this | 22:40 |
| freeflowcauvery | to install wine, would i have to do anything more than just sudo apt-get install wine ? | 22:40 |
| pjvandehaar | fizzik: check winehq appdb | 22:40 |
| Pici | freeflowcauvery: thats it | 22:40 |
| saiki | Flannel: all that does is set MBR to a selected drive | 22:40 |
| freeflowcauvery | Pici: thanks :) | 22:40 |
| Flannel | saiki: right, he's booting an old stage1, pointing to a non-existant stage2 | 22:40 |
| soundray | freeflowcauvery: you should then run winecfg to make a few settings | 22:40 |
| Flannel | saiki: and apparently can't change which drive he boots to in his BIOS | 22:41 |
| fizzik | pjvandehaar: im fairly new to linux but i will i guess, i will switch to just linux as an os if i can get counter-strike to work | 22:41 |
| freeflowcauvery | soundray: i see | 22:41 |
| soundray | Flannel: BIOS boots from (hd1)? | 22:41 |
| pjvandehaar | fizzik: http://appdb.winehq.org/objectManager.php?sClass=version&iId=3731 | 22:41 |
| deepfriedsquirre | soundray: Yeah, but Xubuntu booted alright. It's just I thought #ubuntu people might be equally as knowledgable on the subject | 22:41 |
| christian | :-) | 22:41 |
| christian | hy | 22:41 |
| Flannel | soundray: Apparently | 22:41 |
| saiki | Flannel: a grub cd can push the mbr to any drive | 22:41 |
| Flannel | saiki: So can a Ubuntu CD. | 22:41 |
| Kessel34690 | Anyone have experience installing a webcam manually? | 22:42 |
| dmi3on | Flannel, i am in big truble ? | 22:42 |
| Flannel | dmi3on: No. You just need to follow those instructions | 22:42 |

| ubottu | Dolphin, or more properly D3lphin, is the new default file manager for Kubuntu 7.10 Gutsy Gibbon. If you would like to make Konqueror your default file manager again, go to Konqueror - Settings menu - Configure Konqueror - File Associations and change the association for inode/directory and inode/system_directory to Konqueror at the top rather than Dolphin. | 22:42 |
| weternal | hello | 22:42 |
| iratsu | I think I am having trouble with my second SATA controller... I have 3 drives in my computer, but I can only see /dev/sda and /dev/sdb in linux... anyone know what to do in this case? | 22:42 |
| dmi3on | Flannel, i folloe all of them wich one i can understand | 22:42 |
| weternal | I'm having trouble getting flash to work in hardy heron | 22:42 |
| soundray | deepfriedsquirre: sounds like suse has overwritten xubuntu's grub. You could use the RecoveringUbuntu... procedure from the factoid: | 22:42 |
| dmi3on | Flannel, what i am missing ? | 22:42 |
| fizzik | omg thats crappy | 22:42 |
| soundray | !grub | deepfriedsquirre | 22:42 |
| ubottu | deepfriedsquirre: grub is the default Ubuntu boot manager. Lost grub after installing windows: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/RecoveringUbuntuAfterInstallingWindows - Making GRUB floppies & other GRUB howtos: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/GrubHowto | 22:42 |
| weternal | I just joined ubuntu | 22:43 |
| Flannel | dmi3on: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/RecoveringUbuntuAfterInstallingWindows do that again, root hd0,5, but setup is hd1 | 22:43 |
| dmi3on | ok | 22:43 |
| G3NESIS | My human theme is broken and when I try to reinstall I get this Error http://paste.ubuntu.com/35677/ | 22:43 |
| Flannel | dmi3on: and while your there, do setup hd2 too, | 22:43 |
| dmi3on | ok | 22:43 |
| dmi3on | hd2 didnt work | 22:43 |
| weternal | can anyone help me to get flash running on ubuntu | 22:43 |
| pjvandehaar | fizzik: depends how much you care about how good counter-strike is. i think xp is the best platform | 22:43 |
| soundray | weternal: 'sudo apt-get install flashplugin-nonfree'. Remove any manually installed flash plugin | 22:44 |
| fizzik | yea pjvandehaar hmm | 22:44 |
| dmi3on | Flannel, grub> root (hd2,5). splits: error 22: No such parttion. were do you mean change hd2 ? | 22:44 |
| fizzik | pjvandehaar: too bad linux wasn't a good gaming platform | 22:44 |
| Flannel | dmi3on: no, not root 2,5, root 0,5, but *setup* hd1 and hd2 | 22:44 |
| pjvandehaar | fizzik: yea... | 22:44 |
| === sata is now known as SATA | ||
| fizzik | im having trouble i have no sound | 22:44 |
| Pirate_Hunter | hwo can i force epiphany-browser into debug to find out why it shutsdown? | 22:45 |
| dmi3on | ok | 22:45 |
| pjvandehaar | fizzik: check out free games on synaptic or add/remove, though | 22:45 |
| Flannel | dmi3on: We're installing the part of GRUB that the BIOS boots on different drives | 22:45 |
| dmi3on | understand | 22:45 |
| pjvandehaar | fizzik: they mentioned that problem on the winehq page, i think. | 22:45 |
| soundray | Pirate_Hunter: have you tried launching it from a terminal | 22:45 |
| soundray | ? | 22:45 |
| fizzik | pjvandehaar: know anything about sound drivers and stuff, i have a creative audigy +gamer older sound card i have no sound ingame | 22:45 |
| weternal | so how would I remove all manually installed versions of flash | 22:46 |
| weternal | I believe I've got gnash | 22:46 |
| Pirate_Hunter | soundray: yah not much help just some gtk cant find object and segmentation fault on a page that doesnt tell me much | 22:46 |
| Dada_ | Can I resize an NTFS partition in the Ubuntu alternative installer and keep the data? | 22:46 |
| Dada_ | I *can* risk the partition's data | 22:46 |
| soundray | weternal: it depends on how you installed them. 'sudo apt-get purge gnash' will get rid of gnash. | 22:47 |
| Dada_ | So if it's risky I will try | 22:47 |
| Dada_ | But can I do this at all? It's nearly an empty partition | 22:47 |
| infinitycircuit | Dada_, i wouldn't recommend it. i'd download parted magic and use it to do that | 22:47 |
| fizzik | will someone be willing to help me with getting sound working? | 22:47 |
| Dada_ | Does anyone know if the possibility of it succeeding is real? | 22:47 |
| soundray | Pirate_Hunter: ah, so the problem is not that it doesn't issue debugging info, but that you can't make sense of it. | 22:47 |
| pjvandehaar | fizzik: what type of computer? | 22:47 |
| soundray | Pirate_Hunter: no use suggesting 'strace epiphany' then :) | 22:47 |
| Pirate_Hunter | soundray: yup you got it XD | 22:48 |
| Dada_ | Ahhhh I'll just go ahead and do it | 22:48 |
| fizzik | pjvandehaar: the sound card is a creative audigy gamer | 22:48 |
| weternal | it's saying command not found when I type that into the terminal | 22:48 |
| soundray | Dada_: resizing NTFS works just fine | 22:48 |
| dmi3on | Flannel, hd1 after reastart splits: grub read error | 22:48 |
| soundray | Dada_: more robust than proprietary offerings, in my experience | 22:48 |
| Pirate_Hunter | soundray: probably not since i moved from the site casuing the problem, it seemed it was either poorly coded or soemthing was overloading epiphany | 22:48 |
| Dada_ | soundray: unfortunately it keeps failing (but it's not ruining the partition at least) | 22:49 |
| coded1 | I just installed hardy with all the updates and my hard-drive is going non stop i even left it on over night and its still going, could it be the search feature? | 22:49 |
| Flannel | dmi3on: That's better. That means theres an error in your sources.list (it also means we're successful in installing stage 1 of grub) | 22:49 |
| G3NESIS | Update manager is telling me the my software index is broken and I should repair it with "sudo apt-get install -f" but when i try I get this error http://paste.ubuntu.com/35677/ | 22:49 |
| entropy51423 | Hi, does anyone know how I can get gMobileMedia to "find" the Samsung Juke | 22:49 |
| soundray | Dada_: if there isn't much data, consider backing it up and reformatting | 22:49 |
| pjvandehaar | fizzik: http://ubuntuforums.org/archive/index.php/t-678178.html dont know if this will help | 22:49 |
| dmi3on | Flannel, ok | 22:49 |
| fizzik | pjvandehaar: alright i will try | 22:49 |
| Dada_ | soundray: It's just a fresh install of Windows (but you know how much work it is to set up even a basic system, with the drivers and all). I'll just format it. | 22:49 |
| dmi3on | Flannel, that very cool | 22:50 |
| dmi3on | Flannel, i try now hd2 | 22:50 |
| dmi3on | ? | 22:50 |
| Flannel | dmi3on: no, you don't need to. Now all we have to do is fix your menu.lst | 22:50 |
| soundray | G3NESIS: you can force-fix this with the following command: 'sudo dpkg -i --force-overwrite /cdrom//pool/main/h/human-theme/human-theme_0.18_all.deb' | 22:50 |
| weternal | am I imputing this command right? sudo-apt get purge gnash | 22:50 |
| tuedel | this is getting me mad :( every time i log into gnome, i get that "your last session lasted less than 10 seconds" message, and as soon as i click ok, my xserver crashes (along with some display errors). i can't find anything helpful in all those logfiles... here is my ~/.xsession-errors, if it makes sense to anyone: http://pastebin.ca/1096181 . i'm using intrepid, and i've already disabled compiz | 22:50 |

| catfacts | can some one help me with a PowerPC install | 22:50 |
| soundray | weternal: no | 22:50 |
| catfacts | ive got it installed fine | 22:50 |

| freeflowcauvery | what's the difference between installing an app from sudo apt-get install and compiling from source "tar, unzip, make, make install"... | 22:52 |
| dmi3on | Flannel, ok | 22:52 |
| soundray | vicvicvic: 'sudo rmmod modulename' | 22:52 |
| dmi3on | Flannel, thats i learnd how to do :) | 22:52 |
| Kessel34690 | freeflowcauvery: apt-get is way easier ;) | 22:52 |
| dvoid_ | im having som etrouble with cpufreq, i want to increse the sampling frequency when running on battery, but for some reason 5sec seems to be the minimum | 22:52 |

| entropy51423 | I am wondering what all the Ubuntu IRC channels are? | 22:53 |

| djGentoo | I have a partitioning-related problem. | 22:53 |
| entropy51423 | I don't know how to use obotu | 22:53 |
| djGentoo | The deal is that I have something like 10 partitions, mostly ext3. | 22:54 |
| Kessel34690 | Freeflowcauvery: Yeah, like soundray said, the apt-get method ensures that it's correctly installed withough any issues or conflicts. | 22:54 |
| djGentoo | When I try to install Ubuntu 8.04.0, none of them show up. | 22:54 |
| catfacts | can someone help me with a ubuntu server on powerpc installation | 22:54 |
| djGentoo | FDisk doesn't see them either. | 22:54 |
| td123 | is there something for java similar to https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/addon/433 so it will block java until you say when to load it? | 22:54 |
| entropy51423 | What are all the Ubuntu related IRC channels | 22:54 |
| Flannel | entropy51423: What are you looking for? | 22:54 |
| dmi3on | Flannel, http://paste.ubuntu.com/35682 that me menu.lst | 22:55 |
| soundray | weternal: you have flash now? | 22:55 |
| entropy51423 | I know that there is list from Obotu, or something like that | 22:55 |
| Kessel34690 | entropy: just do a /list, let is propagate, and scroll through it... | 22:55 |
| deepfriedsquirre | soundray: Thanks, I'm rebooting now to try it. | 22:55 |
| freeflowcauvery | I see....so why would anyone want to install from source other than to flex their geek elitocracy? :P | 22:55 |

| unop | freeflowcauvery, getting the very latest version from the upstream author | 22:55 |
| djGentoo | So, anyone have any advice? | 22:56 |
| soundray | freeflowcauvery: to have a bleeding edge version, or to enable experimental features that ubuntu eschews, or to fine-tune performance | 22:56 |
| alberaan | hi | 22:56 |
| dmi3on | Flannel, to what i change hd2 ? | 22:56 |
| Kessel34690 | Freeflowcauvery: Sometimes there's apps that aren't in the multiverse repository and you have to do a custom build compiled against your kernel. | 22:56 |
| bastid_raZor | djGentoo; you're in windows where you're looking for ubuntu? | 22:56 |
| alberaan | Hello, just bought a Acer gemstone blue, and I cant hear any sound | 22:56 |
| Flannel | dmi3on: Remove the last three. Hmm, that looks pretty normal though. Don't change the hd numbers yet. If we have an error with them,w e can edit them at the grub menu. | 22:56 |
| freeflowcauvery | thanks unop, soundray, kessel | 22:56 |

| Flannel | ubottu: tell entropy51423 about yourself | 22:58 |
| ubottu | entropy51423, please see my private message | 22:58 |
| weternal | soundray: is there a way to get it to not show that play button for the flash content | 22:58 |
| bastid_raZor | djGentoo; what does fdisk have to do with ubuntu. that is a windows command... i guess i'm feeding the troll | 22:58 |
| entropy51423 | Thanks | 22:58 |
| djGentoo | Simple, Ubuntu has a copy. | 22:58 |
| djGentoo | And besides, I'm not trolling. | 22:59 |
| djGentoo | This is a serious question. | 22:59 |
| dmi3on | Flannel, hehe massage is: GRUB loading stage1.5 Read error | 22:59 |
| soundray | weternal: I don't get that... Are you sure you're not still on gnash? Restart your browser and check which plugins are active by entering 'about:plugins' as the URL | 22:59 |

| ubottu | fizzik: If you're having problems with sound, first ensure ALSA is selected, by double clicking on the volume control, then File -> Change Device (ALSA Mixer).

| Flannel | dmi3on: I'm unfamiliar with why stage1.5 would give a read error. You should try asking in #grub, since I can't find anything on it. | 23:10 |
| Pirate_Hunter | bastid_raZor: oh thought you were the one asking the question sorry | 23:10 |
| drh | Flannel what resource do you use to answer all these questions? | 23:10 |
| djGentoo | Pirate_Hunter: I think it might be because of an experimental distro installer I used a while back. | 23:10 |
| fizzik | anyone help me with getting sound to work i have Creative Audigy +Gamer all sounds are turned up and is not muted. :) | 23:10 |
| djGentoo | For Myah 3.0a2. | 23:10 |
| drh | i have tried googling the console thing and found nothing - you helped instalty.,, | 23:10 |
| dmi3on | thx very much | 23:10 |
| Flannel | drh: Experience | 23:10 |
| ndo | can anyone tellme plz. what is stabler Ubuntu stable or Debian testing? ;) | 23:10 |
| drh | Flannel you should write a howto ;p | 23:10 |
| drh | ndo i would guess ubuntu stable heh | 23:11 |
| Flannel | drh: "How to learn from experience" | 23:11 |
| troxor | justs0me: how did you set up the partitions? | 23:11 |
| drh | flannel trial and error? heh | 23:11 |
| troxor | justs0me: sorry, djGentoo | 23:11 |
| vicvicvic | uh, im getting a window about a "bad" XKB configuration whenever i log in but it doesnt say what's bad... | 23:11 |
| ndo | ivr got an impression of opposite | 23:11 |
| Flannel | drh: If you hang our here, you'll pick stuff up. Lots of people do. | 23:11 |
| Pirate_Hunter | djGentoo: so you messed it up :/, found it weird both couldnt recognise, ok if gparted doesnt pick hd you really messed it up download a win98 bootdisk format the disk try gparted and this time make sure you know what youre doing that should put you back on track | 23:12 |
| vicvicvic | i dont even know what XKB is heh | 23:12 |
| Pirate_Hunter | !xkb | 23:12 |
| ubottu | Sorry, I don't know anything about xkb | 23:12 |
| drh | cool ., so flannel may i repeat a question from earlier? to get to console chvt? and to get back to windows manager chvt 7 | 23:12 |
| Flannel | drh: yeah, sudo chvt 7 | 23:12 |
| djGentoo | Three minor FAT32/NTFS partitions that I need to delete at some point, one logical volume, one 2GB swap, three 10GB ext3s, and one 40GB /home ext3. | 23:12 |
| EugenMayer | what is pulseaudio for, can i remove it due i use alsa? | 23:12 |
| Flannel | drh: hmm, maybe you don't need the sudo. | 23:12 |
| fizzik | anyone help me with getting sound to work i have Creative Audigy +Gamer all sounds are turned up and is not muted. :) | 23:13 |
| djGentoo | Pirate_Hunter: That's my plan assuming I can't fix it, and my backups work. | 23:13 |
| fizzik | sudo modprobe audigy | 23:13 |
| mbrigdan | anyone know where I can get a firefox script that will add a control panel (pause, forward, back) to flash games. All the scripts I've tried don't do anything. | 23:13 |
| drh | when i type chvt it says wrong number of args | 23:14 |
| Pirate_Hunter | djGentoo: well the data on the disk is most likely gone but you could try a recovery software or send it to professionals but its up to you | 23:14 |
| Flannel | drh: what are you passing it? | 23:14 |
| ndo | to difficult question i guess?:) | 23:14 |
| Pirate_Hunter | fizzik: have you tried those links from earlier? | 23:14 |
| drh | blarg@that-box:~$ | 23:14 |
| djGentoo | It's all there, I can use existing distros. | 23:14 |
| fizzik | Pirate_Hunter: yes | 23:14 |
| djGentoo | I have three OSes installed in the 10GB partitions. | 23:14 |
| Flannel | drh: an empty command? :) | 23:15 |
| Pirate_Hunter | fizzik: ... | 23:15 |
| drh | blarg@that-box:~$ chvt | 23:15 |
| drh | chvt: Wrong number of args | 23:15 |

| drh | k thnx | 23:15 |
| monkeyBox | Whenever I connect to my PPTP VPN using network manager, I get a lot of hard-drive activity for about a minute. What could this possibly be? | 23:15 |
| Flannel | drh: and it seems from the terminals, the sudo isn't needed. | 23:15 |
| fizzik | Pirate_Hunter: those links have nothing to do with me | 23:16 |

| pbtrn10k | hi - i've lost everything on my desktop apart from file icons - no panels, no nothing - tried using the recovery boot to fix Xserver but to no avail - can anyone help? | 23:19 |
| nbkr | Brucee, That can be done with the gconf-editor. | 23:20 |
| unop | Brucee, open up the gconf-editor (typing this into the terminal) and navigate to apps/nautilus/desktop | 23:20 |
| unop | Brucee, then check trash_icon_visible | 23:20 |
| gluonman | Can anyone explain to me how I can setup a static IP address as an alternative to DHCP? | 23:21 |
| unop | amirman, what do you mean? | 23:21 |
| misha_ | #rubuntu | 23:23 |
| misha_ | ??? | 23:23 |
| gluonman | Anyone know about switching from DHCP to static IP address? | 23:24 |
| linduxed | im using wallpaper-tray as a wallpaper cycling application for gnome | 23:24 |
| doris | quit | 23:24 |
| unop | gluonman, i asked google the very same question -- and got this.. http://www.howtogeek.com/howto/ubuntu/change-ubuntu-desktop-from-dhcp-to-a-static-ip-address/ | 23:24 |
| m4lmsteen | gluonman, what do you need to know about it ? | 23:24 |
| linduxed | im using wallpaper-tray as a wallpaper cycling application for gnome | 23:24 |
| misha_ | sorry - есть русские? | 23:24 |
| linduxed | is there any way to get the application or compiz to bind a key to switching to the next walpaper? | 23:24 |
| Flannel | !ru | misha_ | 23:24 |
| gluonman | unop, I'll check that out. | 23:24 |
| ubottu | misha_: Пожалуйста посетите #ubuntu-ru для получения помощи на русском языке / Pozhalujsta posetite #ubuntu-ru dlya polucheniya pomoshi na russkom yazyke | 23:24 |
| pbtrn10k | gluonman: you can use network manager to get a static IP | 23:24 |
| gluonman | m4lmsteen, I need to know how to set up a static IP. | 23:24 |
| unop | gluonman, the howto explains how | 23:25 |
| gluonman | pbtrn10k, can I get an assigned IP, subnet mask, etc. that way? | 23:25 |
| Brucee | unop thank you very much, i tried googling for about and hour, till you answered my question, you the best unop ;-) | 23:25 |
| m4lmsteen | if you set static ip glu you have to specify your own ip | 23:25 |
| unop | gluonman, with a static ip address - you set these values | 23:25 |
| m4lmsteen | its not manually assigned | 23:25 |
| drh | this place is so much easier then forums or google ;/ | 23:25 |
| m4lmsteen | but your gateway is gonna be your router ip, subnet mask 255.255.255.0 | 23:25 |
| m4lmsteen | just pick an ip within the private network that your router broadcasts | 23:26 |
| pbtrn10k | gluonman: yeah - i'm not sure of the exact procedure as I have no gnome atm but if you get into network manager you should have the option for your network to set the values manually instead of automatically | 23:26 |
| m4lmsteen | yes | 23:26 |
| boaty | .net | 23:26 |
| m4lmsteen | if you rightclick the computer (wired) or bars (wireless) at the top youll have an option to manually configure | 23:27 |
| pbtrn10k | depends if the router you're behind will let you have one though | 23:27 |
| === feell is now known as FEELL1 | ||
| gluonman | unop, m4lmsteen, pbtrn10k, alright thank you for your input. I'll try to follow that how-to, and keep in mind what other things you've said. I'll be back with questions when I have them. | 23:27 |
| unop | m4lmsteen, gluonman - i think it's worth noting that the subnet mask 255.255.255.0 is only applicable to a range of IP addresses | 23:27 |
| gluonman | unop, oh okay | 23:27 |
| pbtrn10k | gluonman: or edit /etc/network/interfaces | 23:27 |
| m4lmsteen | unop, yeah... it will broad cast up to .255 on the network range the router broadcasts | 23:28 |
| m4lmsteen | glu use system > admin > networking tools | 23:28 |
| m4lmsteen | if you cant find it in your bar | 23:28 |
| m4lmsteen | you can choose the device from the pull down menu then hit 'configure' | 23:28 |
| m4lmsteen | and set your settings there | 23:28 |
| pbtrn10k | anyway - i've lost everything on my desktop apart from file icons - no panels, no nothing - tried using the recovery boot to fix Xserver but to no avail - can anyone help? | 23:28 |
| EugenMayer | where do i get aclocal 1.9 ? i only 1.10 and 1.4 and 1.7 and i need it to compilemsrinfo | 23:28 |
| m4lmsteen | pbtrn10k, have you tried reconfiguring xserver? | 23:29 |
| m4lmsteen | dpkg-reconfigure xserver-xorg , from recovery console ? | 23:29 |
| Pirate_Hunter | isit me or is the latest deluge buggy? | 23:30 |
| pbtrn10k | m4lsteen - was hoping not to have to due to the petty but still prevelant inconvenience of all my settings going a little awry but i suppose if it's the only way :) | 23:30 |
| gluonman | m4lmsteen, I went into network tools, under eth1:avahi, which is the one I believe I need, it gives me the IP address, the netmask / prefix and the broadcast. I'm guessing that those are the IP address, subnet mask and gateway numbers? | 23:30 |
| floreal | ubuntu is debian based but why is not it stable as debian? | 23:30 |
| pbtrn10k | m4lsteen: thanks | 23:30 |
| m4lmsteen | yes gluonman | 23:30 |
| unop | m4lmsteen, no, what i mean is 255.255.255.0 is the subnet mask for a class C network .. the range being 191.0.0.0 to 223.255.255.255 | 23:30 |
| Pirate_Hunter | m4lmsteen: that command will only allow him to set keyboard :/ | 23:30 |
| gluonman | m4lmsteen, alright. I should be all set, then. Thank you. | 23:30 |
| m4lmsteen | oh ok unop | 23:30 |
| m4lmsteen | cool gluonman good luck | 23:30 |
| gluonman | Thank you all. | 23:30 |
| m4lmsteen | Pirate_Hunter, no? it reconfigures xserver | 23:30 |
| m4lmsteen | from my experience id ont know | 23:31 |
| m4lmsteen | im a nub... so you're probably right, but last time i used it i was able to reconfigure xorg, and set my graphics card/keyboard | 23:31 |
| Pirate_Hunter | m4lmsteen: hmmm considering just recently ive done a clean network install on my comp and tried the same command with no luck, however who knows it might actually work for him/she | 23:32 |
| unop | EugenMayer, have you tried packages.ubuntu.com? | 23:32 |
| Pirate_Hunter | m4lmsteen: by last time you mean fiesty/gutsy | 23:32 |
| Genesis | I've just upgraded from Gutsy to Hardy and restarted. But when I reach the load screen I get dumped in to Busy box after a few minutes. | 23:32 |
| m4lmsteen | yes sir Pirate_Hunter | 23:32 |
| EugenMayer | unop: problem is solved, i just needed to install automake1.9 | 23:33 |
| Pirate_Hunter | Genesis: does it ever go into gdm or do you stay in cli | 23:33 |
| unop | EugenMayer, maybe this works? sudo aptitude install automake=1.9 | 23:33 |
| heridanus | hi | 23:33 |
| heridanus | my amsn dont conect | 23:34 |
| Pirate_Hunter | !automake | 23:34 |
| ubottu | Sorry, I don't know anything about automake | 23:34 |
| pbtrn10k | m4lsteen: that's wierd - it gives me an error about inserting a battery - i've never had that before | 23:34 |
| pbtrn10k | (it didin't work) | 23:34 |
| heridanus | someone could help me? | 23:34 |
| IHK | is it possible to extract the ubuntu install iso, put it on a usb with grub, and boot it up using grub? | 23:34 |
| unop | m4lmsteen, reconfiguring xserver-xorg has little effect on hardy -- it does not populate the xorg.conf with the directives of the X server - just keyboard, mouse, etc | 23:34 |
| m4lmsteen | unop oh | 23:34 |
| IHK | since my cdrom drive doesn't work anymore :) | 23:34 |
| m4lmsteen | i havent used hardy yet... | 23:34 |
| Pirate_Hunter | heridanus: use pidgin believe me weve been through this many time not an ubutnu problem as such more like ams and ssl/tsl conflict :/ | 23:35 |
| Genesis | Pirate_Hunter: GMD? CLI? | 23:35 |
| Genesis | Pirate_Hunter: *GDM? CLI? | 23:35 |
| drh | use bitchx ;p | 23:35 |
| unop | m4lmsteen, the newer versions of Xorg are trying to be automagic - everything is autodetected | 23:35 |
| Doctor_Nick | Hi, I accidentally removed the applet on the taskbar that had all the current iconified applications | 23:35 |
| floreal | do you know an alternative way to uninstall ufoai because i could not install loki_setup on hardy | 23:35 |
| Doctor_Nick | how do I get it back? | 23:35 |
| Pirate_Hunter | Genesis: im asking if it pops you into gdm (the fancy login screen with wallpaper etc) or do you stya in cli (all black just writing and a command saying "login:" | 23:36 |
| orgthingy | http://www.hotubuntunews.com/blog_13.shtml | 23:36 |
| drh | after installing ubuntu i dont think i would install anyother version of linux | 23:36 |
| rafaelscj | hello, how do I create a fat32 filesystem? (removable disc) | 23:36 |
| gluonman | m4lmsteen, alright. New problem. The reason I needed the static IP address is because I'm trying to forward ports from my router. I was wondering if you might now how to help me further. | 23:37 |
| drh | 2 pinepples a screw driver some ducktape and a crowbar | 23:37 |
| heridanus | Pirate_Hunter : thank you for the information | 23:37 |
| unop | rafaelscj, sudo mkfs.vfat /dev/sdXX # sdXX being the device you want to 'format' | 23:37 |
| Pirate_Hunter | unop: i really hate that for ppl that dont have branded graphics card that causes more problem it was a nightmare for me "do take note of the over exaggeration" | 23:37 |
| Genesis | Pirate_Hunter:Nope it drops me straight to BusyBox. | 23:37 |
| heridanus | i already use pidgin | 23:37 |
| pbtrn10k | rafaelscj: use gparted | 23:37 |
| sparr | Is there an easier filtering proxy to set up than Privoxy? I can't get it to apply my custom filters. | 23:37 |
| heridanus | then i need to load some emoticons in it | 23:37 |
| rafaelscj | unop, pbtrn10k, thanks | 23:37 |
| Pirate_Hunter | heridanus: keep with it bu if you want something like msn try ................................ "emesene" | 23:37 |
| densone | wondering if someone can show me the command to install hardy via debootstrap in 64bit | 23:38 |
| Pirate_Hunter | Genesis: whats busybox? | 23:38 |
| amirman | unop: i heard the advantage of using aptitude over apt-get was that aptitude would look at a metapackage and when removing it would also take all the packages it installed along with it, but when i was running aptitude remove it was only removing the metapackage, i was wondering if there was a way to tell it to remove everything that it installs | 23:38 |
| unop | !chroot > densone | 23:38 |
| ubottu | densone, please see my private message | 23:38 |
| heridanus | Pirate_Hunter thank you very much i 'll try it | 23:38 |
| zack1405 | hey guys, i am having a lot of trouble getting an extended desktop over two screens working. Are there any better display managers than the one built into 8.04? | 23:38 |
| Pirate_Hunter | Genesis: please describe dont get that term? | 23:38 |
| linduxed | is there any way to get wallpaper-tray /or compiz to bind a KEY to switching to the next walpaper? | 23:38 |
| amirman | unop: but i found another dirty solution so it's not a major issue anymore but it would still be nice to know | 23:38 |
| heridanus | Pirate_Hunter amsn is buggy | 23:39 |
| heridanus | rs | 23:39 |
| unop | Pirate_Hunter, well, yea, the idea and the mechanism is still young .. it will take sometime for it to mature .. having said that, if you have the drivers for your card installed, xorg should work ok. | 23:39 |
| usser | amirman, apt-get autoremove ? | 23:39 |
| zack1405 | linduxed: do you have compizConfig? | 23:39 |
| gluonman | Hey, unop. Do you know about port forwarding? | 23:39 |
| unop | gluonman, yes | 23:39 |
| drh | how old do babies have to be before they can eat the little bottle can type things of baby food | 23:40 |
| gluonman | I'm having a problem forwarding a few ports from my router. | 23:40 |
| Genesis | !busybox | 23:40 |
| ubottu | Sorry, I don't know anything about busybox | 23:40 |
| gluonman | It's the reason I had set up Static IP address. | 23:40 |
| Doctor_Nick | !butt | 23:40 |
| ubottu | Sorry, I don't know anything about butt | 23:40 |
| usser | drh, about 3 | 23:40 |
| amirman | usser: no | 23:40 |
| drh | usser months or years? | 23:40 |
| usser | amirman, didnt work? | 23:40 |
| freeflowcauvery | i think they should be about 6 months and older | 23:40 |
| Pirate_Hunter | heridanus: it is since they went to version 9 or was it 5 well havent used it in a long time but had soemone compile it for me and the ssl/tsl/tcl version of ubuntu had to be simlinked with the new version and their was the whole ugly writing, no point bothering with compiling it unless youre bored | 23:40 |
| Genesis | Pirate_Hunter: Busy Box apparently is the BASH I get dumped to. | 23:40 |
| usser | drh, years but i'd pretty damn careful taking that sort of advice from irc :) | 23:41 |
| Pirate_Hunter | unop: i guess so | 23:41 |
| linduxed | zack1405: yupp | 23:41 |
| gluonman | unop, I took the static IP address I used and entered it into my browser's location bar, in accordance with the instructions at http://portforward.com/, but it's not working. | 23:41 |
| drh | our kid is 3 months and hes almost 14 pounds., he can hold his own bottle and grab his on binky.,, i wonder if he can eat babyfgood | 23:41 |
| linduxed | zack1405: what about it? | 23:41 |
| integrand | has anyone used partimage? | 23:41 |
| amirman | usser: i don't think you understand how a metapackage works, besides i was using aptitude because apt-get can't do what i intend | 23:41 |
| freeflowcauvery | usser: oh you would trust your computer with advice from IRC but not the baby ;P | 23:41 |
| === nick__ is now known as nich^ | ||
| gluonman | unop, but I think that website is geared toward windows users more. So what is the Linux Ubuntu way of port forwarding? | 23:42 |
| unop | gluonman, you need to put the ip address of _your router_ in your location bar .. _not_ your own ip address | 23:42 |
| usser | amirman, sure i do, metapackage depends on a whole bunch of other packages and when u uninstall metapackage those others stay, sudo apt-get autoremove deletes the packages that nothing depends on | 23:42 |
| gluonman | unop, well the website just asked for my static IP address, so I assumed to put that in the location bar. | 23:42 |
| Pirate_Hunter | Genesis: bash so your in cli, try typing command startx, if that doesnt work you could unninstall xorg (sudo aptitude purge xorg and installing it again) and see if that helps | 23:42 |
| pbtrn10k | gluonman: port-forwarding is set up on your router - you'll need to get your gateway address and stick /that/ in the address bar of your router, or most browsers have a telnet interface you can use too | 23:42 |
| usser | amirman, and it doesnt matter if u used aptitude or apt-get | 23:43 |
| unop | gluonman, those instructions are either wrong or misleading then | 23:43 |
| pbtrn10k | gluonman/unop: sry to eavesdrop ;) | 23:43 |
| drh | you guys are frigging smart | 23:43 |
| densone | anyone know if there is a 64 bit JeOS? | 23:43 |
| gluonman | pbtrn10k, okay. I was putting the static IP in the address bar, the instructions didn't specify that I needed the gateway address. I'll use that then. Thank you. | 23:43 |
| drh | im jelouse. | 23:43 |
| gluonman | Thanks, unop | 23:43 |
| Genesis | Pirate_Hunter: startx: not found | 23:43 |
| unop | gluonman, if you want to configure port forwarding, you need to browse your router's admin. page -- which is uaually at the IP address of the router itself. | 23:43 |
| zack1405 | linduxed: isnt that feature in desktop plane? | 23:43 |
| integrand | I'm getting an error message while using partimage | 23:44 |
| integrand | please help me | 23:44 |
| amirman | usser: wrong, a metapackage does not depend on anything, it only references other packages, its a package that only contains references and not real data at all, it has no dependencies so when you remove it, nothing is removed and when you run autoremove all the packages the metapackage installed stay because they are standalone packages and not dependencies of the metapackage | 23:44 |
| gluonman | unop, okay. I used the gateway IP and this time it said "Failed to Connect" where before it said "Page Could Not Be Found" | 23:45 |

| integrand | Error message: can't read block 179954 from image (135194480) | 23:45 |
| Pirate_Hunter | Genesis: is xorg even installed? well use comamnd to delete xorg and it folders than install it again... this is an upgrade right? PS: next time when moving to a newer version of ubuntu dont do system upgrade it causes all stupid errors | 23:46 |
| macd | Has anyone had good luck with ushare from the repos (hardy) and a 360 | 23:46 |
| FloodBot1 | !netsplit | 23:46 |
| ubottu | netsplit is when two IRC servers of the same network (like Freenode) disconnect from each other, so users on one server stop seeing users on the other. If this is happening now, just relax and enjoy the show. See http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Netsplit | 23:46 |

| serkan`c | hello | 23:47 |
| integrand | someone help me with partimage | 23:47 |
| usser | amirman, look im not gonna argue about it, just try something simple install "metapackage" bluetooth, u'll see a bunch of other getting pulled in | 23:47 |
| linduxed | zack1405: hmmm, might be | 23:47 |
| Maeva | we just had an irc split that's why many people leave. An irc server disconected. don' t worry they'll come back | 23:47 |
| gluonman | unop, the gateway IP didn't work. The browser said "Failed to Connect." | 23:47 |
| usser | amirman, then apt-get remove bluetooth, those others wont get removed but when u run autoremove they will cause nobody depends on them | 23:47 |
| gnuskool | integrand:download iso, burn cd, boot pc, follow instructions | 23:47 |
| Pirate_Hunter | how come netsplits are happening often? | 23:48 |
| integrand | gnuskool, ? | 23:48 |
| unop | amirman, http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=615196 | 23:48 |
| integrand | what do I download? | 23:48 |
| integrand | I just have a problem with partimage while creating an image | 23:48 |
| unop | usser, autoremove might not work if apt is configured otherwise | 23:48 |
| Genesis | Pirate_Hunter: I tried doing a clean install with Hardy heron but it wouldn't work. | 23:48 |
| usser | unop, hm really? | 23:49 |
| unop | gluonman, are you able to get on the net on that machine currently? | 23:49 |
| Maeva | Pirate_Hunter: when the server needs to reboot or gets down we got an irc split | 23:49 |
| amirman | usser: exactly, the purpose of a metapackage is to pull in other packages BUT that does not mean that the metapackage depends on those packages. it doesnt, install a metapackage like kubuntu-kde4-desktop and then remove kubuntu-kde4-desktop and you will see the other packages do not go, and if you run autoremove it will not see anything to remove | 23:49 |
| usser | unop, reading the link... | 23:49 |
| gluonman | Yes. It's connected. | 23:49 |
| unop | usser, have a look at /etc/apt/apt.conf.d/*autoremove* | 23:49 |
| Pirate_Hunter | Genesis: what do you mean it wouldnt work? | 23:49 |
| integrand | gnuskool, what do I download? | 23:49 |
| gluonman | unop, earlier, when I used the static IP, it said page could not be found. Now with the gateway ip it says failed to connect. But other websites work fine. | 23:49 |
| unop | gluonman, are you sure you got the right IP address of the router/gateway? | 23:50 |
| ShdwShinobi | I installed the latest updates for ubuntu, and when I restarted my computer... it showed the boot screen then it stayed black after that. Can someone help me? | 23:50 |
| Genesis | Pirate_Hunter: The installer refused to recognise my hard Disk | 23:50 |
| nlindblad | Hi! How can I get Ubuntu (server) to autologin a user on tty1? | 23:50 |
| Pirate_Hunter | Maeva: i know what netsplits are how come ive been seeing them often here i rarely see them at least not twice in a week or so | 23:50 |
| gluonman | unop, I know nothing of IP addresses, other than what they're for. So I'm just trying to follow instructions. Earlier when I got my static IP address set up, I was told to go to network tools, find my router, and copy the information in the correct fields. | 23:51 |
| integrand | I need some help with partimage | 23:51 |
| gluonman | unop, now I'm trying to use that same information to access my router's admin page. | 23:51 |
| integrand | does anyone know partimage? | 23:51 |
| Pirate_Hunter | Genesis: are you using encryption in your xp partition? did you use gparted to create a partition for ubuntu? did you unnistall xorg and isntalled it again? | 23:52 |
| unop | gluonman, ok .. this should give you your gateway's address route -n | awk '/^0/{print $2}' | 23:52 |
| Genesis | Pirate_Hunter: I have no windows partition | 23:52 |
| unop | gluonman, just verify that it is indeed the address you are using | 23:52 |
| gluonman | unop, let me give that a try. | 23:52 |
| unop | gluonman, you might need to use sudo before route there .. depending.. | 23:52 |
| Genesis | Pirate_Hunter: I was installing to an empty unformatted hard drive | 23:52 |
| === Suibrom is now known as Morbius | ||
| Genesis | Pirate_Hunter: I was installing to an empty unformatted hard drive | 23:53 |
| gluonman | unop, I got the IP address, but it's not the same as the one I used with the static IP setup. So does that mean I should modify my static IP setup to use that address? | 23:53 |
| Pirate_Hunter | Genesis: if the disk is clean and you dont mind losing data than get gparted format the disk and use alternate livecd to install ubuntu otherwise just follow what i told you it should work, im trying to avoid deleting xorg.conf since it has your previous settings | 23:54 |
| scooby2 | is there a list anywhere of what can be removed to slimline ubuntu desktop? I have 2gb of ram and with pidgeon, firefox, thunderbird, and a couple terminals I am swapping badly. | 23:54 |
| morbyte | after a2enmod php5 apache2 still pushes the php-file to me. any hint what i may be missing? | 23:54 |
| === Morbius is now known as suibrom | ||
| Flannel | morbyte: Have you restarted apache? | 23:54 |
| morbyte | Flannel: yes multiple times :) | 23:54 |
| GASPAR | slm | 23:54 |
| unop | gluonman, the ip address that that command returns is not your IP address but the ip address of your router/gateway .. so no, you shouldn't configure your computer to have that address otherwise you will have an address conflict on your network | 23:54 |
| gluonman | unop, alright. Thank you. | 23:55 |
| gluonman | unop, I'll let you know if I have any more problems. | 23:55 |
| unop | gluonman, does this bring up anything? x-www-browser $(route -n | awk '/^0/{print $2}') | 23:55 |
| gluonman | unop, bash: x-www.browser: command not found | 23:56 |
| gluonman | unop, I see my mistake | 23:56 |
| integrand | I need help with partimage | 23:57 |
| integrand | I'm getting an error while creating an image | 23:57 |
| unop | gluonman, perhaps this then. firefox $(route -n | awk '/^0/{print $2}') | 23:57 |
| gluonman | unop, actually, the problem was a typo. It brought up the router admin. | 23:57 |
| === mcasadevall_ is now known as NCommander | ||
| Genesis | Pirate_Hunter: I tried what you said it didn't recognese sudo | 23:57 |
| unop | gluonman, righto, :) | 23:57 |
| OzFalcon | Are we now in BugJam time? | 23:58 |
| unop | gluonman, you can always copy and paste things into the command line .. for future reference | 23:58 |
| Pirate_Hunter | integrand: what i got from google by typing ubuntu partimage - http://www.psychocats.net/ubuntu/partimage, http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=287522 | 23:58 |
| gluonman | unop, I'm aware of that. | 23:59 |
| gluonman | unop, now I just need to figure out how to do the port forwarding. | 23:59 |
| integrand | Pirate_Hunter, thanks but I get an error message | 23:59 |
| dvoid_ | is there some global script used when chaning cpufreq governors, i would like to add some extra settings when chaing to ondemand governor. | 23:59 |
| Pirate_Hunter | Genesis: why would you sudo the partition in the first place, ok seems your lost, do you want to install ubuntu from scratch? | 23:59 |
